"Boom!"
The seismic waves struck again, and this time even the top-floor nightclub could feel a slight tremor.
"The intervals are getting shorter and shorter, and the amplitude is getting larger and larger." Captain Nine-Tailed gently put down his wine glass.
"I can't wait any longer." The Chen sisters displayed a pop-up window showing the real-time monitoring data of Five Dead Island: "Why don't you just give us a quick answer?"
"Don't rush," the Weng sisters laughed. "We don't need to do anything until those prehistoric behemoths buried deep in the underwater volcanoes are erupted."
“Hmm.” The Chen sisters pulled the shockwave curve toward the submarine volcano: “The latest hyper-evolution results show that the volcanic eruption index needs to reach VEI-8 to eject the giant object stuck in its throat.”
The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is an indicator that measures the intensity of a volcanic eruption based on factors such as the volume of ejecta and the height of the volcanic cloud. It is divided into nine levels, from 0 to 8.
VEI Level 0 (Non-Explosive Eruption): Characterized by quiet lava flows with no significant explosive activity; it occurs daily in multiple locations around the world and is the most common form of volcanic activity.
VEI 1-8级（爆炸性喷发）：每增加1个VEI单位，释放能量增加1个量级（即10倍）。
The most devastating VEI-8 volcanic eruptions ejected more than 1 trillion cubic meters of material, with the eruption column reaching over 50 kilometers in height, reaching the stratosphere. According to geological studies, there have been more than 40 VEI-8 volcanic eruptions in the past 3000 million years, each leading to mass extinctions and climate change. For example, the eruption of Mount Toba on Sumatra 7.5 years ago caused a catastrophic drop in atmospheric ozone levels in the tropics, potentially depleting global ozone levels by as much as 50% and triggering a "volcanic winter" lasting 6-10 years, ultimately resulting in the death of 60% of the world's population.
Therefore, the VEI-8 volcanic eruption is also referred to as a "super eruption".
In other words, only a supervolcanic eruption could eject the five Zod mechs stuck in their throats from the ground. Of course, the "pressure cooker principle" of being stuck in their throats would also indirectly increase the volcanic eruption index. They couldn't cough it up, so they ended up having a huge eruption.
"How's our trump card coming along?" The female producer asked, bringing over her glass.
"The essence of the ancient dragon essence has been injected." Captain Nine-Tailed displayed a pop-up window showing the real-time monitoring footage of Miktti Kashiva, the Aztec goddess of death, "Queen of the Underworld."
"Still not awake?" The female producer glanced at her seriously.
"Not yet." Captain Nine-Tails understood the Safety Committee's concerns. But she couldn't awaken until she had successfully completed the mission in one life. This couldn't be rushed.
"Will you be able to make it to the final battle?" the female producer couldn't help but ask.
"Highly likely." Captain Nine-Tails could only give a vague answer: "Things are unpredictable, ma'am."
“That’s true.” The female producer also understood that things couldn’t be rushed.
"We've done everything we could. Whether we can wake up before the final battle is up to fate (the plot)." Captain Nine-Tailed smiled and comforted her, "I've heard that those who have survived until now are all lucky."
“That’s right.” The female producer, who had experienced the entire battle royale of the Fulong Temple Pagoda, said with a sigh, “To escape from the mouth of the golden python is more than just being lucky. We absolutely deserve the title of ‘God’s favorites’.”
"So, ma'am, perhaps luck is our biggest trump card," Captain Nine-Tailed spoke frankly. To survive increasingly perilous plot-driven deaths, luck must be an indispensable hidden attribute. Like the passengers who survived the "Supernatural Air Disaster Compilation," their survival can no longer be described as a near-death experience; it was truly finding a glimmer of hope amidst endless danger.
As they were talking, the female producer suddenly swayed.
I quickly steadied myself by holding onto the table, and only then did the deafening roar of the earthquake reach my ears.
"Boom!" The tremors were already quite strong.
"Will our pyramid be alright?" the female producer asked anxiously.
“No.” Captain Nine-Tails shook his head firmly: “A pyramid with folded space cannot be measured by ordinary human buildings.”
“That’s right.” The female producer thought of the sleeping Blood Orchid Queen: “Speaking of which, if it can compress the three-layered space into a shrinking state, this Bloodwing Feather Serpent must not be a creation of our planet.”
“As you said, madam,” Captain Nine-Tailed laughed, “like the Predators and the Aliens, they are all aliens.”
The all-powerful "aliens" stabilized the sanity of all the security committee members, including the female producer, preventing them from going insane due to extreme fear. The simple word "aliens" successfully dispelled the psychological fear and mental stimulation brought about by the "indescribable," "unnameable," and "unobservable." Thus, the "aliens," which everyone could understand, instantly defined these powerful "giants."
In the words of players: "Just show me your health bar, and I'll kill even a god!"
"Showing a health bar" is equivalent to "being defined." This is the same principle as the Nine-Tails Captain defining "aliens."
Therefore, keeping important characters in the story clear-headed and maintaining their fighting spirit is another very important function of using dialogue to advance the plot.
"The boss told me to ask." The female producer, having regained her composure, finally got to the point: "Do you have any armored exoskeletons that are suitable for us?"
"Ah..." Heaven knows how long Captain Nine-Tails had been waiting for these words: "Yes, there is."
"Tell me about it," the female producer immediately said, intrigued.
"Actually, it's a 'protective armor' specially developed to protect important figures," Captain Nine-Tailed added casually. "You can think of it as a special kind of 'bulletproof armor.' It doesn't have many combat peripherals; all the excess energy from the high-energy battery is used to enhance its protective capabilities and support the energy shield."
"Bulletproof armor." Just from that name, the female producer already understood completely.
“That’s right.” Captain Nine-Tailed said calmly in the pop-up window: “Look, that’s it.”
"It really makes me feel safe." The female producer must be very tempted. In fact, Wu Chen had already told Captain Nine-Tailed that among the high-ranking members of the container safe zone, the most powerful was the female producer, Denise Carlberg. She was one of the few characters who achieved the unique duality in the "Anaconda" battle royale competition at the first level of the Fulong Temple Tower. Wu Chen was certain that the other duality was Tanya Adams, the Allied female agent who was currently in a dormant state in Wu Chen's red phone booth.
Logically speaking, she doesn't urgently need bulletproof armor that makes her feel "very safe".
Of course, the security committee, which integrated the various factions, is also growing in size. As the head of the entire camp, ensuring his own safety is also essential.
Given the comprehensive qualities displayed by the Nine-Tails Captain, it is entirely understandable.
"Can we arm ourselves tonight?" Producer Denise Carlberg had clearly already obtained authorization. No further notification to the security committee was needed.
“Of course.” Captain Nine-Tails nodded without hesitation: “It’s the right choice.”
“Okay, Captain.” The answer came from director Terry Fuller, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Following the simplified entry process, once the Security Committee completes its armament, it's equivalent to being tied to Wu Chen's chariot. This important plot development reveals that in the seven-level isotope battle royale competition at Fulong Temple Tower, the base characters on each level can be recruited by participating players.
This may be the final piece of the puzzle that Wu Chen needs to complete this adventure and achieve the greatest harvest.
