Chapter 1779 Global Magma Explosion
Anglesey, also known as Mona Island, is an ordinary small island in the Caribbean. Because it is in the middle of the Mona Strait, it has become an important place to guard the throat. , and has been developed to a certain extent, coupled with the suitable climate, it has become a prestigious tourist spot.
But
Wow! Wow!
Chiba Makoto quickly flipped through the documents of the management office. According to statistics, the number of tourists is decreasing year by year. The annual decrease is not large. However, after decades, the number of tourists this year is still less than the original number. One-tenth of twenty-thirty, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a deserted place.
The sharp decrease in the number of tourists has caused related service industries to wither. The employees naturally lost their jobs and had to find other ways to make a living. So many people left here and went to the outside world to make a living. Today, the entire island There were no people left, and there were empty houses everywhere.
Even the management office is overgrown with weeds. I didn’t even see a single person along the way. These important administrative documents were placed casually in rusty cabinets. Obviously, this island is about to be destroyed. 'die'.
This is the same as many islands in this world. They have become dangerous due to monster disasters and are no longer suitable for habitation. Coupled with the increasing hardship of life and the poor navigation, tourism has gradually become a Luxurious and dangerous things, the tourism industry cannot be said to be a sunset industry, it is almost dusk.
So this tourist island is gradually becoming deserted, and it seems to be letting nature take its course. However, after looking through the documents, Chiba Cheng keenly discovered one thing, that is, the number of ships traveling between this island and Puerto Rico, in It suddenly drops off a cliff at some point and gradually decreases after that.
It seems like normal business behavior. After all, with fewer people, there will naturally be fewer ships. Otherwise, running empty will mean operating at a loss.
However, Chiba Makoto compared the two records and found that the number of ships decreased before the monsters were discovered, that is to say, before the number of tourists decreased, the number of ships decreased, and then the transportation became inconvenient, and the volume of material transportation also increased due to a large increase. The decrease has led to rising prices and even scarcity. Moreover, this situation is not a short-term adjustment, but has continued, and the number of ships has continued to decrease.
Think about it, if you go traveling, if you have to wait for a few hours on the roadside for a bus, and when you get to the place, the food and drink are ridiculously expensive, and you can’t buy anything, then it’s better to go there once. Will you go?
The answer is no!
Therefore, Mona Island declined earlier than other islands. It felt like it was forcing the people on the island to leave and the number of ships was decreasing.
Chiba Makoto His fingers slid and finally stopped at the geological survey of the volcano in the center of Mona Island.
The number of ships dropped off a cliff after geological exploration.
Is there any connection between the two?
Chiba Makoto immediately took out his tablet and started flipping through it quickly. When there were keywords, the search speed was very fast. According to the records of entry and exit management, the geological team never entered again after leaving. After the team members returned to school, they were promoted and transferred, and the entire team was scattered to various places.
Without the team, the research on the abnormal flow of volcanic magma was shelved. Some people did not give up. Professor Foster Kibi, who was the core of the team, was transferred to other places. The report was submitted to increase personnel and equipment and continue the research.
Then he died in a traffic accident a week later!
".This is really a good idea."
Chiba Makoto grinned. Sure enough, at any time and in any place, the best way to shut someone up is to physically eliminate them.
Obviously, someone is blocking the investigation.
Then this is interesting.
Chiba Cheng felt that he had found the key.
Underground magma has extremely high heat, and the amount is extremely large. If energy can be absorbed from the heat, it will be an endless source of energy.
"It seems that something is really absorbing the magma!"
Chiba Cheng murmured in a low voice, raised his head, looked through the window, and saw the highest mountain range in the middle of the island. The vegetation is lush, lush, and full of life. There is no trace of the volcano at all, but It was in that geological report that it was clearly stated that there was flowing magma underground in this mountain, and if the magma had not flowed abnormally to other places, the underground magma sacs of this volcano might have been filled with magma. As a result, the pressure was too great and the volcano began to erupt, and this beautiful scenery was naturally lost.
“Looks like we are going to be a groundhog.”
Chiba Makoto stood up and walked out. As he walked, he took out the dimensional fighting instrument, and then put a The Ultra Card was inserted into it, and the brilliance flowed through, blooming in an instant, wrapping Qianye Cheng, and then headed towards the ground, disappearing in an instant.

Xiangjiang Base!
A very high-level meeting was held in an extremely confidential manner, and it was specifically requested that no one be present, and the conference be held online via telephone and video. The highest-level encrypted communication channel was activated. , the entire situation was like facing a formidable enemy, and coupled with the news that the martial law at the Xiangjiang base was suddenly lifted a few days ago and has not yet been lifted, everyone participating in the meeting was a little panicked.
Soon, dignitaries and heads of state from various countries were online. There were hundreds of people, but they were basically permanent and non-permanent. Others who lacked economic and military strength were not even qualified to participate in the meeting.
After everyone is online, the meeting officially begins.
What came up was not a speech, but a video.
The time is not long, only twenty seconds, but the content is surprising.
The protagonist in the video is familiar to everyone here. It is Marshal Quan, the current commander of the Earth Defense Force. He was walking with his guards. Suddenly, the guard closest to him pulled out the gun from his waist. Guns, shoot at Marshal Quan.
Fortunately, the guard next to him reacted in time. While bumping into the guard, he raised his hand and let the bullet pass by Marshal Quan's head. He almost died on the spot, and then this The guards were restrained and the video ended abruptly.
But another video was played immediately, and the scene changed to the interrogation room. The guard who fired the shot was sitting on a chair. The first half was a normal question and answer, but the second half of the guard had dull eyes. , replied with a stiff tone, it was obvious that some special means had been used.
The content of the interrogation shocked everyone. They no longer cared about the order of the meeting and started talking with the people around them. For a while, the entire meeting channel was filled with noise, even if those present were experienced officials, But I was also shocked by the news.
The assassination of Marshal Quan by this direct line guard was not a political enemy or a vendetta. It turned out to be a ridiculous illusion.
Yes, according to the soldier's confession, he didn't know what was going on at that moment. An indescribable and terrifying thing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and it rushed toward him, making him subconsciously dig it out. Gun attack.
It’s just like when you’re dreaming, you don’t know it’s a dream at all, you even know it’s a dream, but you still react subconsciously.
After repeated interrogations and background checks, after eliminating other possibilities, this situation, although unbelievable, is left.
The guard suddenly fell into a dream-like hallucination, so he drew his gun and shot Marshal Quan. If it were just like this, it would be a private matter at most. Not to mention a global meeting held with great fanfare, even the internal meeting of the Earth Defense Force would not be able to attend.
The reason for such a big fight was that during the physical examination of the soldier, it was found that his brain waves were abnormal. Further in-depth examination found that the body, especially the brain, had been exposed to unknown radiation. Many soldiers After consultation, experts believe that the hallucination produced at that moment may be related to this. The specific details require in-depth research and repeated trials.
In other words, the guard was probably affected by his brain in some way, causing him to hallucinate and unconsciously drew his gun and shot at Marshal Quan.
This is serious.
Being able to make a strictly trained soldier hallucinate and make him unable to tell the difference is about the same as controlling the brain.
If you think about the worst, if this method can control the brain to produce hallucinations for a long time, what is the difference between controlling the human brain.
It’s okay to control ordinary people, but what about high-ranking and powerful people like them?
It’s scary to think about it, the consequences are unimaginable!
So, after discovering this situation, the Earth Defense Force quickly held this meeting and informed the world. They wanted to gather global forces to conduct an in-depth study of what was going on, and then conduct a risk assessment. .
Other matters may need to be considered, but this matter is related to wealth and life. The heads of state and dignitaries responded on the spot and promised to send an expert team immediately to get to the bottom of it.

From Mona Island to Hawaii Island!
The straight-line distance is nine thousand one hundred kilometers.
Even by plane, it takes more than ten hours.
Compared to Mona Island, Hawaii has a much better reputation.
Of course, there are also a huge number of volcanoes.
There is only one volcano on Mona Island, but there are hundreds of volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands, large and small, in the sea and on land, and most of them are active. There are even a few volcanoes that erupt from time to time. Waves to show your presence.
But these are all 'old accounts' from decades ago. As early as forty-five years ago, the volcanoes here have become quiet. Even the most active Mauna Loa volcano has There has been no eruption in decades.
Not only that, these once very active volcanoes no longer even emit black smoke, making these dangerous volcanic islands very livable.
But not long after the volcano calmed down, the age of monsters arrived. An island like this has no depth and a monster can complete a circle in ten minutes. It is simply hellish to protect it.
So soon these islands were abandoned, most of the people were evacuated, and most of the remaining people were old people who had nowhere to go and were unwilling to leave. Anyway, living day by day and earning day by day, why bother?
Anyway, Chiba Makoto walked in this once extremely prosperous coastal city, and all he saw was depression. It was even more desolate than coastal cities. Not to mention pedestrians, there were only a few vehicles on the road. The green belt has turned into a thicket of weeds, and the roads are not only seriously damaged, but also full of dust and dead branches, which are comparable to those in Tokyo and Beijing.
"This place must have been forced to be abandoned."
Chiba Makoto murmured to himself, staring at the tablet in his hand and browsing the information.
Not long after the Age of Monsters came, residents here began to leave. The biggest factor was the decline of the tourism industry, followed by the fact that many companies moved away due to high taxes. The reason given at the time for increasing taxes was that they wanted to To build Shattered Sky, funds need to be raised.
But until this place has almost become an empty city, the so-called Broken Sky has not moved a shovel of soil. It is obviously just an excuse to force companies to leave and residents to leave.
That’s it again!
It may be a coincidence that one place is like this, but two places are like this, and important places that are still very prosperous are deliberately abandoned, and the volcanoes in both places are ‘extinguished’.
This made Chiba Cheng feel that he had found an important clue.
Then, Chiba Makoto stopped because he thought of a place that was abandoned at almost the same time as Mona Island and Hawaii, and there was also a world-famous huge active volcano there.
And the magma on Mona Island flows in this direction.
"Is it possible?"
Chiba Cheng's face changed slightly, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the world's largest volcano here - Mauna Loa. He wanted to do it as soon as possible to verify your guess.
If the magma under the Mauna Loa volcano also flows in that direction, then I'm afraid things will be a big deal. It is very likely that the magma in other directions is also flowing in that direction.
You must know that Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in the world. Including the seabed, the total height can reach more than 10,000 meters, and the area at the bottom reaches 12,000 square meters.
If the magma of such a huge volcano is flowing to other places, then I am afraid that other volcanoes around the world will be like this.
From walking to running, it was quickly running.
On the empty road, I ran very fast, and then turned into a stream of light that shot straight into the sky, drew an arc in the air, and fell towards the building that occupied a large area of the island. Huge volcano - Mauna Loa.
According to normal circumstances, the area around an active volcano must be scorched, desolate and lonely, where even weeds would find it difficult to survive. However, the Mauna Loa volcano that is reflected in Chiba Makoto’s eyes at this moment is emerald green everywhere. It was full of trees, flowers and grass, so vibrant that it didn’t look like a place of death at all.
Sure enough there is a problem!
The temperature of a normal active volcano must be higher than other places. Even if it does not erupt, it is not very suitable for plant growth. But here, hundreds of flowers are blooming, just like fertile land.
Thinking of this, Chiba Makoto immediately plunged into the crater, took out the Dimension Fighting Instrument and the Ultra Dimension Card in mid-air, and when the two sides collided, a golden radiance erupted, and he crashed into the ground instantly. Among.
