320: Chapter 320 The Sudden Alarm
Was the entire landmass built with special materials?
Come on, that's not building a single building, nor is it filling in an island.
It's an entire landmass with an area exceeding 200,000 square kilometers!
How much labor and time would it take to complete that?
And more importantly, who on earth built such a massive piece of land here?
What was his purpose in building it?
Looking at the terrifyingly large landmass within the range of his Domain of God, Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
I can't figure it out. How about we land and scout it up close?
Jiu Jiu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
Although the Domain of God is large, its coverage is too vast, and the amount of information is too overwhelming.
If he relied solely on perception to gather information, Chen Fan estimated he would go insane.
Therefore, he could only filter, identify key areas as much as possible, and then teleport there to check them out personally.
First, sail the fleet to the waters at the edge of the land, then we'll land.
Let's try the upgraded Spirit Realm Walking; the description says it has a group effect.
Jiu Jiu suggested, having long wanted to experience the feeling of Spirit Realm Walking.
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
Although the speed of Spirit Realm Walking in the sea is only 1500 meters per second, it is far inferior to teleportation.
But trying it out is always good.
Spirit Realm Walking!
Chen Fan shouted in a low voice.
Instantly, the entire fleet moved forward at high speed.
Hey, wait for me!
Davian exclaimed.
The speed of sound in air is only 340 meters per second; in his True Dragon Form, he was running even slower than usual.
After all, with the buff from the Counter-Attacker, the Mechanical Dragon's flight speed reached 600 meters per second.
He immediately switched the Mechanical Dragon into warship form and dropped into the water.
Five minutes later.
The fleet came to a stop.
Phew... that flying feeling, it was so awesome.
Jiu Jiu let out a long sigh and rubbed her sore eyes.
Chen Fan shook his head with a smile and looked behind him.
Davian had already switched back to his True Dragon Form and was catching up quickly.
Let's not waste time, let's just teleport.
Chen Fan waved his hand, and the fleet instantly appeared five kilometers away.
After a one-second interval, Chen Fan waved his hand again.
After several consecutive teleports, the fleet appeared in the shallow sea area.
Just as Chen Fan was preparing to take his people to land, the sky suddenly went dark.
Oh my god!
Jiu Jiu covered her mouth and pointed at the sky.
What's going on?
Chen Fan looked up in confusion.
Immediately, he was stunned too.
The nine suns in the sky actually dimmed simultaneously, leaving only nine rings.
The whole world seemed to have its power cut suddenly, plunging into pitch darkness.
Could it be that they are so kind as to give the workers time to rest?
Jiu Jiu blinked and said in disbelief.
After all, this world could put nine artificial suns in the sky just to increase illumination.
It's really hard to imagine that they would actually cut the power to let them rest.
Chen Fan scanned the area, locked onto a slightly smaller fishing boat, then took Jiu Jiu onto the ghost ship and teleported over.
On the fishing boat, seven Sailors were wearing dirty, messy clothes.
They didn't even have time to adjust their positions; the moment it went dark, they lay down right where they were to sleep.
From the moment it went dark until Chen Fan arrived, less than three minutes had passed.
The snoring on the fishing boat was deafening; the seven Sailors had actually fallen asleep simultaneously.
This eerie scene aroused Chen Fan's suspicion.
After pondering for a moment, he approached quietly and reached out his right hand toward one of the Sailors.
Recruit.
Spirit Control.
[Recruitment successful, elderly Sailor x1.]
Seeing this, Chen Fan nodded slightly.
It seems these Sailors are just ordinary residents. Just like those soldiers in the Night Instance.
Pulling the elderly Sailor over, Chen Fan asked in a low voice:
Why did you fall asleep instantly?
The Sailor's head drooped, and he answered numbly: "Because there is not much time, my master."
Is this night short? How long does it last?
One hour.
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, exchanged a glance with Jiu Jiu, and thought to himself, 'As expected.'
A place that uses nine suns for illumination wouldn't be that kind.
After a forty-minute interrogation, Chen Fan used the power of his domain to erase this part of his memory and put him back.
Since the situation was uncertain, Chen Fan didn't want to do anything that would expose them for the time being.
When they returned to the fleet, both of them felt heavy-hearted.
These Fishermen were enslaved beings who only had one hour of sleep per day, and all the remaining time had to be spent fishing at sea.
And there was a weight requirement for the fish that needed to be handed in every day.
This requirement was almost set at the standard of fishing desperately for 22-23 hours.
In the beginning, they didn't even have this one hour of sleep.
They could only doze off for a minute or two during each mechanical casting and retrieving of the net.
It wasn't until the Fishermen died on a large scale and the survival time for each batch of Fishermen dropped below five years that they were given one hour of sleep.
Even so, the time each batch of Fishermen could live did not exceed ten years.
The Sailor from just now looked elderly, but in reality, he was no more than 20 years old.
He didn't have many years left to live.
That's too detestable.
Jiu Jiu felt a tightness in her chest.
It is quite detestable. Let's go, let's go see the land.
Chen Fan shook his head and took Jiu Jiu onto the Mechanical Dragon.
With teleportation and group Spirit Realm Walking, their survival ability inside the Mechanical Dragon was unquestionable.
After flying along the coastline for a long time, Chen Fan's mood became increasingly heavy.
When his domain covered the area earlier, he had discovered many workers along the coastline.
But at first, he didn't pay attention to them.
Until he learned about the plight of the Fishermen, he didn't feel so heavy when looking at these workers.
These people, like the Fishermen, didn't have time to move and fell asleep right where they were.
Judging by the degree of filth on them, they were likely no better off than the Fishermen.
Just as Chen Fan was lamenting, the sky gradually brightened.
The two of them looked up.
Those nine artificial suns lit up again.
These workers wailed as they crawled up to begin a new round of work.
Sigh...
Jiu Jiu let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Davian glanced at Chen Fan and turned the Mechanical Dragon toward the interior of the land.
A long time later, the inside of the Mechanical Dragon remained silent.
Chen Fan opened the monitoring screen.
In the screen, two middle-aged men parasitized by octopuses were lying on the sofa resting.
I've entered the headquarters; it won't be long before I come looking for you.
Chen Fan sent a message to the two little guys.
Immediately, they replied simultaneously with surprise:
Okay!
Master, hungry!
Don't rush, I'll give you something delicious to eat when the time comes.
Chen Fan smiled, and his mood recovered a little.
Just at this moment.
A deafening alarm sounded.
Chen Fan instinctively looked around, not finding anything unusual.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
Because the alarm was also coming from the monitoring of the two little guys.
What's the situation?
Hmm... not quite sure.
Never encountered this before.
In the monitoring screen, the headquarters was also experiencing some commotion due to the alarm.
