Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 172 - 146 New Discovery_2

Chen Dalong took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and slowly stepped forward to Bai Yinghui’s side and said, "Master, we’ve felt it; ahead is very dangerous."

Hearing Chen Dalong say this, Bai Yinghui instead smiled.

In fact, given his status and position, he didn’t really need to come to the front lines.

But he had still come, partly indeed wanting to witness just how terrifying this so-called forbidden zone was.

On the other hand, it was to use himself as bait, to probe the true attitude of the Dragon Hall.

In all of Yang City, he and Liu Zaoxin were the two most important people. If the Dragon Hall truly had any schemes, this would definitely be the best opportunity to make their move. freёwebnoѵel.com

Now that the existence of the forbidden zone was confirmed, although his concerns weren’t completely alleviated, at least most of them were, and he could consider deepening their cooperation in the future.

While Bai Yinghui was contemplating these things, Liu Zhi had already led people to set up the equipment.

"Master Bai, my side is ready, we can conduct the detection at any time," Liu Zhi called out loudly.

"Good! Then let’s start now!" Bai Yinghui immediately responded.

Liu Zhi heard this and gestured to the researchers beside him that they could proceed.

Quickly, a high-powered quadcopter drone loaded with numerous detection equipment took off, flying towards the interior of the forbidden zone.

At this moment, almost everyone present couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Soon, the drone entered the range of the forbidden zone, and upon seeing that the drone was still working normally, Liu Zhi excitedly clenched his fists.

He hurried to the computer nearby, beginning to watch the information transmitted back.

However, the more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"What’s wrong? Is the situation inside very serious?" Bai Yinghui inquired.

Liu Zhi shook his head, "On the contrary, according to the information detected, everything inside, whether it’s the composition of the air, the concentration of Spiritual Energy, or various energy waves, is completely normal."

"We can’t detect the so-called Corrosive Energy at all."

Bai Yinghui frowned, and turning to Chen Dalong and the others, he said, "Although it’s undetectable, they can sense it."

Staring at the computer data, Liu Zhi said without lifting his head, "That’s what puzzles me, logically, if Corrosive Energy is a form of energy, then it should be detectable."

"Xiao Fang, you go get the other set of monitors for various trace elements, and the radiation-detection instruments, make sure we do all possible monitoring," he instructed.

The researcher known as Xiao Fang nodded first, but then shook his head and said, "The drone has a limited carrying capacity, the radiation-detection instrument is so heavy, it simply can’t be carried!"

"Then find a way! It’s only this far, can’t you just take a longer stick and poke it in there?" Liu Zhi said irritably.

minutes later!

All instruments had been transported inside, but Liu Zhi’s gaze never left the computer screen, his brow never unknitted.

"I’m starting to wonder if this Corrosive Energy truly exists, otherwise there wouldn’t be a complete absence of traces," he mused.

Liu Zhi massaged his forehead, "Let’s go straight to the last resort then, animal testing."

Hearing Liu Zhi say this, a researcher swiftly took a little white mouse from the vehicle.

It should be called a big white mouse, actually.

Nowadays, it’s nearly impossible to find a mouse that hasn’t mutated; even these lab mice had mutated.

Although Liu Zhi and his team had specifically chosen the smallest of the mutated mice, its size was still comparable to a household cat.

After the researcher carefully put on protective gloves, he carefully opened a crack in the cage.

It took quite an effort to finally catch the white mouse.

"I’ll do it!"

Seeing the other person’s sluggish actions, Chen Dalong stepped forward, grasped the white mouse, and put it into the glass box of the nearby experimental vehicle.

"I really envy you superhumans!" Liu Zhi couldn’t help but remark.

At the same time as he spoke, he also swiftly adjusted the instruments.

Soon everything was ready, and the experimental vehicle, under remote control, slowly drove toward the inside of the forbidden zone.

Once again, everyone held their breath.

This time, they were not let down, or rather, they finally saw what they wanted to see.

The moment the experimental vehicle entered the forbidden zone, they could see the big white mouse, which had been lively and hopping just a moment ago, let out a horrible shriek and then instantly collapsed.

Liu Zhi glanced at the Life Monitor; the numbers had already returned to zero.

Obviously, the big white mouse before their eyes was dead beyond death.

Without a doubt, the Corrosive Energy truly existed, and its lethality to animals was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

This mutated mouse, from being lively to death, had all occurred within two seconds.

Keep in mind, this was a mutated mouse; even if gutted, relying on its tenacious Life Energy, it might even live for another minute or two.

But the situation hadn’t ended there; what made the spectators even more horrified occurred next — the body of the mutated mouse began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First, its fur fell out, then boils appeared on its body, followed by the decay of muscles and even bones, until it turned into a puddle of blood.

And this entire process took less than a minute.

This scene made everyone’s scalp tingle.
