Chapter 918 Pompeii (Part 1)
Rhodes Island is a regular pharmaceutical company, not a black-hearted company. As a regular company, Rhodes Island is very good to its operators. The holidays are very sufficient. Basically, you can get rest time after completing a task, unless you encounter an urgent task.
Since it is a vacation, you don’t have to stay in Rhodes Island all the time. For example, Shen Fei brought a group of people to Xiosta this time. In fact, whether he is there or not, many people from Rhodes Island will come to Xiosta. This is the case in the original book.
In the original book, the doctor and Amiya came to Xiosta for vacation, probably to let Amiya relax. After all, at that time, they had just defeated Tallulah and the battle of Qiecheng, and Rhodes Island suffered heavy losses.
Elite operator Scout and his team were all wiped out, and only one of the elite operator Ace and his team survived, and Amiya’s team was almost wiped out. This loss is very heavy for Rhodes Island, especially because it was sacrificed under Amiya’s proposal to save the doctor.
Even though no one blamed Amiya, Amiya still blamed herself privately, but she didn't show it. This was what Kal'tsit said to Shen Fei privately before they set off. This vacation was mainly for Amiya to relax.
"Amiya, we seem to be in trouble." Just when several people were busy, Amiya received a call from the doctor.
"Doctor, what happened?" Amiya asked immediately.
"The volcano here seems to be erupting."
The doctor said and roughly described the situation he encountered. It turned out that Proswan asked her to investigate the situation of the volcano near Xiosta.
Proswan is a natural disaster messenger. Originally, she had nothing to do in Xiosta. After all, Xiosta has its own natural disaster messenger. However, out of professional habit, Proswan still took Tianhuo to the mountains near Xiosta and collected some samples, and found abnormalities.
Letting the doctor go there is to confirm her discovery, because Xiosta's natural disaster messenger did not issue any alarm. If it were replaced by other natural disaster messengers, they might not care.
However, Proswan was different. Just in case, she still called the doctor over. It didn't matter if it was wrong, it was just a false alarm, but if it was true, it meant that millions of people in Xiosta might be exposed to the impending natural disaster. Such a result should not be taken too seriously.
The doctor checked Proswan's investigation results and contacted Eyjafjalla, the lamb who was still in Bolivar. Finally, it was confirmed that something must have happened to the volcano in Xiosta. Eyjafjalla is absolutely an authority in the study of volcanoes.
Originally, Eyjafjalla should have been called back by Kal'tsit to treat her illness, but because her current research was at a critical moment, in order not to miss the periodic movement of the volcano, Eyjafjalla planned to return to Rhodes Island after the research was completed.
After getting Eyjafjalla's confirmation, the doctor and others immediately prepared to find the Xiosta city government to have a good talk about this issue. With the doctor's intelligence, he naturally understood that those who had just arrived in Xiosta could detect the abnormality of the volcano, and the Xiosta officials could not fail to notice it.
As such a prosperous mobile city, it must be well prepared to deal with natural disasters. Apart from other things, at least various professional monitoring equipment will not be lacking. In this case, Xiosta officials did not launch a natural disaster warning, which means that there must be unknown reasons.
If it were something else, Doctor, Proswan would definitely not participate, after all, it was Xiosta's own business, but it was different when it came to natural disasters. Now Xiosta has millions of people.
"So you mean that the Xiosta City Government did not issue a natural disaster warning because they did not want to cancel this music festival."
The annual Obsidian Music Festival is very important to Xiosta. This is where Xiosta attracts tourists. Without this, Xiosta's income will definitely be greatly reduced.
"My father would never do that?"
Shen Fei had just finished his guess, but the doctor on the opposite side did not speak, but instead an angry sweet female voice sounded.
"I originally guessed so, but now the situation has changed." The doctor's voice sounded the next moment. Shen Fei's previous guess was the same as hers, but after meeting Xiosta's mayor's daughter, Xilan, and adding some of her observations, she denied this guess.
"What do you mean?"
"According to the investigation, it should be that the mayor's assistant has other ideas."
The doctor immediately said her guess. Because it was related to Xiosta's million people, even if the doctor's initial guess was the same as Shen Fei's before, she was also prepared to talk to the mayor. If the other party did not agree to her conditions, she would let Rhodes Island take action.
Xiosta now has a million people. If the news of the natural disaster is rashly revealed, what will happen in the chaos can be imagined. Only if the official is willing to cooperate can these one million people be evacuated in an orderly manner.
Afterwards, the doctor did not see the mayor, but only saw the mayor's assistant Kroning, saying that the mayor was not there. If that was the case, it would be fine, but afterwards, Kroning immediately sent people to hunt them down, and the people used were not police from the Public Security Bureau, but mercenaries. This is a bit strange. After all, if it is an official method, it would be easier to use the police.
That’s not to mention. Later, the doctor met Ceylon. The other party even wanted to capture Ceylon. That was a problem.
“So what is your plan?” Shen Fei asked the doctor about his plan directly. In terms of strategy and tactics, he certainly believed in the former Babel Tower evil spirit. Her strategy and tactics were excellent.
“I need someone to go to the volcano to investigate how long it will take for the natural disaster to erupt.” The implication was that Shen Fei was the strongest person she knew at the moment, so Shen Fei was naturally responsible for this matter.
In terms of strength, the doctor was accompanied by Tianhuo, so his safety was naturally not a problem. Originally, the doctor wanted to rely on Tianhuo’s strength to directly control Kronin, but there was also a strong man on Xiosta, a master at the level of an elite operator of Rhodes Island, so the doctor had to retreat temporarily. She didn’t have an elite operator around her at the time.
Although Tianhuo’s Originium skills were powerful, it was not easy to take action without a complete fallout. After all, Rhodes Island couldn’t burn Xiosta.
"I have no problem with that, but I'm not familiar with volcanoes and don't know when they will erupt."
"It doesn't matter, just take Proswan in."
"Where you are, I'll find you."
"The doctor needs help, I'll go burn them to death." Hearing that the doctor was in trouble, Charmander raised her flamethrower for barbecue and said.
"Don't do it, I'll go, you guys continue to play here."
Shen Fei then touched Charmander's head and said to her with a smile, not only Charmander, Amiya doesn't need to go there, and only Hei in Xiosta is considered a master, and the others are nothing.
Of course, this is relative to what Shen Fei said. In fact, Hei's side has contributed a lot to the existence of Xiosta. If a prosperous mobile city has no backstage protection, there will naturally be many people coveting it.
Herman, the mayor of Xiosta, has been assassinated countless times over the years. Strictly speaking, Hei was also a killer who assassinated Xiosta, but because he was young at that time, he was spared by Herman and later taken in by Herman as Ceylon's nanny and bodyguard at that time.
Herman was kind because he saw that Hei was too young, but he didn't expect that when Hei grew up, he would be shocked.
A six-star sniper operator is also a cold-blooded killer. For the enemy, it is a nightmare. Many enemies of Xiosta died under the sudden black arrow, which was the end of Black's tactics.
When Shen Fei went to meet up with the doctor, there were already many people around the doctor, including Prosvan, Tianhuo, Hongdou, Talula, Chen Huijie, and two tall women who Shen Fei didn't know.
"Is it going to bring another six-star sniper to the island?" Shen Fei met these two people under the introduction of the doctor, one is Ceylon and the other is Hei.
The two sides were originally hostile. The doctor was forced to retreat by Hei at the beginning. On the way, he met Talulah and Chen Huijie who helped him and blocked Hei. Then Ceylon had a conversation with Hei, and then she changed sides.
I have to say that Kronin's popularity is really bad. He has been in Xiosta for so many years, but both Ceylon and Hei trust the doctor more than him.
"I want to go too." When Shen Fei was about to take Proswan and Tianhuo to investigate inside the volcano, Ceylon immediately said that she would also participate in the investigation.
And in order to show that she is not a vase lady, she directly revealed her academic qualifications, a graduate of the Originium Research Department of the National University of Victoria.
"Miss, this is too dangerous." Hei immediately spoke up to express his objection.
"This is Xiosta's business. Even outsiders can take risks. Why not? It's just Originium. I have come into contact with it before." Ceylon insisted.
"That's different." Hei continued.
"There is nothing different, and it's just entering a volcano, not a source stone mine."
Source stone is a very important strategic material in the world of Terra, and research on it is naturally indispensable, but these studies are not for the treatment of mineral diseases, but for better utilization of the energy in the source stone.
"Since the eldest lady insists, I will go with you, Charlie, and I will leave the matter here to you." Hei saw that he couldn't convince Ceylon, so she had to follow him, and then handed the matter over to her subordinates.
Hei was the director of the Public Security Bureau in Xiosta, which was equivalent to the director of the Longmen Guard Bureau.
"Okay." Ceylon agreed.
"It's decided, let's go."
Ceylon and Hei joined, and Shen Fei naturally wouldn't object,
"Wait a minute, Miss, there are people inside."
A group of people came to the entrance of the cave near the volcano. After Hei checked around, he immediately took the sniper crossbow he carried with him.
"Why is there someone here? Isn't it closed?" Ceylon said with a surprised look.
"Someone should be eavesdropping on the mining of obsidian. The master has already suspected it. Miss, please wait here first. I will deal with them." Hei said in a low voice.
Shen Fei, Proswan, and Tianhuo did not object to Hei's decision. After all, this is Xiosta.
"Is it because Ceylon is here that they were not killed?"
There were a total of six people in the cave. When Shen Fei and others came in, they could see that all six people were pierced through the shoulders, tied up and thrown aside.
"It's obsidian. Who gave them the courage to do this?" Ceylon looked at the black stone in the box on the side, with a face full of anger.
"Keep going, we are here to investigate the abnormality of the volcano."
Hearing Shen Fei say this, Ceylon, although very angry in his heart, could only temporarily put aside the problem of obsidian and continue to move forward.
"This is, be careful." The group continued to move forward and came to the depths of the cave. At a turn, the front suddenly opened up, but it also made the situation in front of several people. Hei immediately blocked Ceylon behind him, because there were densely packed Originium worms in front, and they were not ordinary Originium worms, but lava Originium worms.
"Why are there so many Originium worms, and they are all mutated? I know it's because someone over-mined obsidian and destroyed the environment here."
After carefully observing the Originium worms in front and the surrounding environment, Proswan immediately understood why the volcano was about to erupt.
"Proswan, look over there." Tianhuo pointed to a huge Originium worm soaked in magma and said in a low voice. It was an Originium worm that looked like a small mountain.
"This is troublesome. Let's leave here first."
With so many lava source stone worms, plus the huge lava source stone worm that looks like a mother worm, once they rush out of the cave, Xiosta will probably face a crisis before the volcano erupts.
As the volcano is about to erupt, these source stone worms will definitely rush out of the cave. The abnormality discovered by Proswan before was discovered through the unusual behavior of the source stone worms.
Reality is not a game. The source stone worms in the game are very easy to deal with, but it is completely different in reality, not to mention these mutated lava source stone worms. The damage of self-explosion plus fire, plus this number, is enough to make Hei retreat.
"There is no need for this. I came to discuss cooperation with Mayor Herman. Let's give him a gift first. Sitting in the Frost Sky, Ice Wheel Pill."
When Proswan proposed to leave, Shen Fei stepped forward directly, waved his right hand, and the Yanluo Mirror Code appeared in his hand. After silently reciting the words of the beginning, he swung forward with a knife.
An ice dragon appeared out of thin air in the air. With the appearance of the ice dragon, the surrounding scorching temperature immediately began to drop. The sudden drop in temperature immediately made the lava source stone worms agitated, but the next moment the entire cave turned into a snow-white.
The entire cave, including those source stone worms and the huge source stone worms, and the magma were directly frozen.
Such an amazing scene made Proswan, Tianhuo, Hei and Xilan on the side completely at a loss for words for a moment. Even though Tianhuo's source stone skills were excellent, he had never seen such a scene before.
