In Shen Feng's eyes, he was always considered human. Therefore, no matter what he did, even if it might hinder others, he could not do anything that truly harmed humanity. If he were to ambush others, it would mean he was only looking out for his own interests and disregarding the lives of others.
His previous actions were merely to create some trouble for people from other factions, to hasten their actions. However, Shen Feng did not wish to directly kill anyone now. If a race engaged in too much infighting, it was bound to lead to problems, especially in the current environment where humanity was already very weakened. If they continued to fight amongst themselves, weakening humanity's strength, it would inevitably prevent people worldwide from quickly recovering their vitality.
Moreover, although humanity currently held the upper hand on the surface, their advantage was not particularly significant. Even if they ultimately won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
After hearing this answer, Lin Yue nodded and said, "The City Lord is still kind-hearted. If it's for the consideration of all humanity, then there's truly no other way."
Just then, Lin Yue suddenly noticed something glowing on Shen Feng's body and couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, do you have a flashlight on you?"
Shen Feng looked at the pocket of his jacket and found it was indeed glowing. He reached in and pulled out a black card. He looked puzzled, "This is truly strange. I brought this card back from the Middle East. Why is it still glowing now?"
The card now in Shen Feng's hand was naturally the alien card he had obtained. It had many writings on it. Although they had been deciphered, the material was still too special. Shen Feng carrying it with him at this moment was an unintentional act, but he hadn't expected a change to occur!
"It seems to be related to the meteorite in the sea. It glows when it gets close!" Shen Feng frowned and said.
Lin Yue didn't understand what was happening. Wasn't this a card for aliens to introduce themselves? Why was it glowing now? What was the principle behind it? Where was the energy source?
Both of them were very puzzled but couldn't figure out the reason. They could only return to the clouds.
After a day of rest, humanity was also preparing for battle, with everyone boarding the icebergs. The icebergs on both sides of the underwater canyon extended upwards, reaching hundreds of meters high after emerging from the water, looking like real mountains from afar. The Chinese espers had already been resting on one of the icebergs for a long time.
Just at this moment, the sea beasts also made their move. Numerous sea beasts charged towards the ice floes on the sea surface.
The battlefield was destined to be for the espers. Ordinary people could not protect themselves in such a situation, and their task was to stay outside the canyon.
However, at this moment, something abnormal occurred in the canyon. Someone looked at the compass in their hand in astonishment because the compasses in everyone's hands were spinning wildly.
Simultaneously, a large number of electronic devices exploded, and even watches were spinning erratically. Someone's phone, used for taking pictures, burst open at that moment. This situation left everyone bewildered, not understanding what was happening.
Then, some intelligent people realized what the problem was and shouted, "The electromagnetic field here has completely gone haywire. If you have any electronic instruments on you, throw them away quickly!"
Upon hearing this, people quickly discarded their electronic devices to avoid being accidentally injured later.
But even after doing so, it was still not enough, because at this moment, countless warships in the distance also encountered unexpected situations. With a "boom," warships exploded one after another, emitting thick black smoke that flowed into the sky like a surging river. There was no doubt that this was because the power rooms on the ships had exploded, leading to this outcome.
"Are there bombs on the ships? Otherwise, how could this happen at the same time?" someone questioned at this moment.
Andorf said, "It's impossible for there to be bombs. If one or two bombs were planted, it would be possible, but now it's not just one or two ships exploding. All of them exploded at this time. It's definitely not caused by bombs. It's most likely related to the now chaotic magnetic field!"
This explanation was gradually accepted by others. Upon careful consideration, they could understand that the electromagnetic field also possessed energy. In physics, it's called electromagnetic conversion. Magnetic fields can be used to generate electricity, and electrical energy can also be converted into magnetic fields, and electromagnetic waves are also affected by both.
"I brought a lot of drones and individual missiles, but it seems none of them can be used now. Since even navigation can't be done, these missiles are useless. What a shame!"
Many people felt very helpless about the current situation because a lot of human technology is based on the use of electronic instruments. Now they have encountered an area with a powerful electronic field, where ordinary people would even fall unconscious, and only espers could withstand it. As a result, many of the advanced instruments and equipment they carried could not be used. To defeat the enemy, they could only rely on their own methods.
"The snow in the sky seems to have stopped. As long as it doesn't snow anymore, everything will be fine!"
At this moment, someone suddenly noticed that something was wrong. They had become accustomed to the cold environment these past few days, and the heavy snowfall had made them feel extremely cold. But now, not only had the snow stopped, but there was also a faint trend of the clouds parting in the sky. Everyone felt very excited.
Some people preferred to fight in icy and snowy conditions because the ice and snow severely affected visibility, especially in the Arctic where icebergs were everywhere, creating a vast expanse of white. The sunlight reflected intensely, and everyone had to wear sunglasses, otherwise, they could easily suffer from snow blindness.
Moreover, when people looked up at the sky, they discovered that the snow had stopped. Although a cold wind was still whistling through the air, the sound of the wind blowing over the icebergs was more pleasant than the roar of engines they had heard in the past few days, because it meant they didn't have to fight in snowy conditions.
However, at this moment, many people's expressions turned grim after discovering that it had stopped snowing, and these people generally controlled a large force.
Ke Yiming said, "It seems Shun Feng has discovered that we are about to engage in a decisive battle, so he specifically made the snow in the sky stop falling. This way, he will have enough time and opportunity to enter the fray!"
"Isn't that obvious? Shen Feng has been trying to make it snow these past few days to deplete our food and energy and force us to fight with all our might. Now that the battle is about to begin, he will naturally stop the snow and find an opportunity to enter!" Li Xiangkang said irritably.
"If we continue like this, won't everything be within Shen Feng's expectations? Then we won't be able to find a chance to turn the tables, will we?" Wang Aoye said with distress. He now desperately wanted to disrupt this battle plan, but he didn't know what means he had left.
"We've come this far, so we can only grit our teeth and push forward. We can only hope that the sea beasts in the sea are not particularly fierce. If they are sensible and hand over the meteorite, the battle will be over, and our strength can be preserved as much as possible!" He Qiuan interjected at this moment.
In fact, most people thought this way. As long as they could achieve victory quickly, they would have enough time to rest and also deal with the attacks from the sky.
However, whether the sea beasts would hand over the meteorite was another matter. Based on past experience, every sea beast treated meteorites as rare treasures and held onto them tightly, never handing them over casually.
While everyone was discussing, someone suddenly discovered that many ice floes in the canyon were melting. In just over ten minutes, ice floes tens of meters thick had turned into seawater, and giant figures appeared in this narrow sea area.
"It seems there's no time to prepare. The sea beasts are about to fight. I didn't expect them to start fighting when it's almost dusk!" Many people felt their scalps tingle.
Countless ships had already exploded, and many evolved individuals on the ships had fallen unconscious due to the magnetic field brought by the meteorite, sinking to the bottom of the water. Even those who were still alive could not help. In other words, at this moment, only the espers could fight on the icebergs, and the supplies they carried were very limited. If they couldn't win quickly, they would face starvation and cold.
But now, it was precisely dusk, and they were facing attacks from the sea beasts. What should they do?
Tom calmly said to the people around him, "Don't worry about the purified individuals on the ships. It's fine if they die. After all, the main fighting force this time is us espers. As long as we achieve final victory, I will immediately mobilize a large number of military helicopters to pick us up, and then we can return. As long as that leading giant octopus is killed, the electromagnetic field here will be instantly lifted. Then, we can wrap the meteorite with graphite or lead plates, and we can contact the outside world!"
This guy's heart was extremely cruel. He knew that many of his subordinates were about to be buried at sea, but he was completely unmoved. Even if all the warships sank into the sea, it didn't matter, because as long as the meteorite could be obtained, it was the best thing. Everything else had to take a backseat. Even if 10,000 people died, it wouldn't be as important as the meteorite.
At the same time, Aku Si said, "Don't forget, we are on the glacier now. Here, we have a place to stand, and we can even station ourselves for a while. However, the sea beasts in the sea cannot replenish their food, and they cannot come ashore. It can be said that even if we persist until the end, it will be our advantage!"
"That makes sense. Let's not approach the canyon for now. Let these sea beasts starve for two or three days. During this time, let's quickly plan our attack!" Tom felt this was well said and agreed.
The reason why the thick ice floes on the sea surface were melting now was that a jellyfish emitting extremely high body temperature had appeared underwater. This jellyfish had a body-strengthening ability that could increase its temperature, thus warming the surrounding sea area. Therefore, it melted the ice surface with its body heat.
But even though the ice surface had melted, the sea beasts could still approach the surface to breathe. However, they could not get replenishment in such a narrow water area and could not persist for long. Therefore, by continuously consuming them, humanity could achieve victory.
"Are we just going to wait like this? They have a lot of fat stored in their bodies, so they can last for five or six days, right?" He Qiuan raised an objection.
Tom sneered, "How can we just wait? It's already dusk, and it will be dark soon. And the darkness here lasts for a very long time, because it's already autumn, and there are only a few hours of daylight each day. Since that's the case, I'll give these sea beasts something good to taste!"
After saying that, he beckoned to several espers at the beginning of the month. These people then dragged very heavy boxes over. From a distance, it looked like many boxes were placed there, and there were signs of poison on the boxes.
"What is this?" Everyone asked, wanting to know what secret weapon was inside the boxes.
Tom smiled and said, "This thing is called Agent Orange, and it can kill many creatures. If these 10 tons of Agent Orange are dumped into the sea, the narrow sea area will definitely be filled with highly toxic chemicals. Then, I don't believe these sea beasts won't yield!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately retreated, as they were all stunned by what was in front of them. Once highly toxic chemicals were used on the battlefield, it was extremely dangerous. Moreover, it was said that Agent Orange would not degrade for decades. If it accidentally got into one's body, it would be over.
"Everyone, don't worry. These methods are for dealing with the sea beasts. We are all on the same side, aren't we? Would we stab each other in the back in such a situation? Since we need to face the Shen Feng from the sky after achieving victory, and to preserve enough strength for negotiation, we cannot deplete our fighting forces on the battlefield, otherwise, Shen Feng will take advantage. Therefore, I have planned it all out. First, use these toxic chemicals to deplete the number of sea beasts, then decisively win the battle and salvage the meteorite!" Tom said with a smile.
So, this idea was very insidious. Once chemicals were used, this sea area would become a stagnant pool of dead water. But now, besides this method, they had no better options. They could only follow this suggestion and prepare to implement it. Fortunately, by carrying these highly toxic medicines, they could save some effort during the battle.
However, as everyone prepared to welcome the battle on the second day, no one noticed that bubbles were appearing one by one in the sea. These bubbles emerged from the sea, causing ripples to form on the water surface. But this was the sea, and a ripple was nothing. After all, waves of four to five meters were common at sea.
