"Forget it, I'll say it then."
"There is another small island not far from this island, and that is the location of the mission."
Li Yi listened quietly without interrupting.
He knew that if it was just "not far away", he probably wouldn't be needed.
It is impossible for a nation that can skillfully use an artificial sun (it is not known whether it has mastered it or not, it may be a legacy of past humans) to artificial sun, that it cannot even have such a small distance and multiple movement tools.
Sure enough, the old patriarch said next.
"We have mobile tools that can move on the sea surface to ensure that not a drop of sea water is contaminated. Logically speaking, it can actually go to the destination."
"so?"
"You probably don't know that the reason why we can only stay on this island and can't go anywhere is because we can no longer come into contact with even a little bit of pollutants. There are other reasons."
Having said this, he gestured to Rayleigh.
The other party understood and turned on a switch.
With a crawling sound, several screens lit up at the same time, and Rayleigh took the initiative to explain.
"These are the people you have just met. They are the people who have had direct contact with you. Now they are undergoing comprehensive physical examinations to ensure that no nuclear contamination will be brought underground."
On several bright screens, Sanxi's patrol members were naked and washing their bodies over and over again.
This is not a beautiful thing. In fact, it is not just water, but a special liquid that can inhibit radiation pollution.
In the Blackened Clan, as long as they go to patrol the ground, they have to wash themselves with this liquid every time they return.
However, because they had direct contact with Li Yi, the "suspected source of pollution," they received more "care" this time.
Looking at the painful wailing of those people on the screen, it is obvious that this is not enjoyment and care, but a kind of torture.
"I have a question, why don't you take me and rinse it? I was in direct contact with the sea water."
This has always been Li Yi's biggest question.
Logically speaking, shouldn't he, the direct contact person, be the most dangerous source?
As a black tribe that values the pollution of its territory so much, is this a bit too personal?
As a result, before the old patriarch could speak, Lei Li spoke first.
"No, no, no, my friend, you are mistaken. That's because you are different from us. The reason why our clan attaches so much importance to the standard of nuclear contamination is because a very serious mass infection once occurred here. The incident caused at least 60% of the people in the entire territory to eventually suffer from severe radiation sickness and die."
"And their surviving family members can't even collect their bodies for them, because they have to be concentrated and then thrown into the sea."
This sentence was said with an extremely cold voice, as if there was no human connection at all. Li Yi could even imagine the scene.
A group of haggard-looking people who had just experienced the pain of losing their loved ones watched helplessly as all the remains of their loved ones were gathered together, destroyed and then released into the sea.
They didn't even have time to see their deceased relatives for the last time.
Li Yi did not interrupt Lei Li's words and chose to listen patiently. He knew that things would not end so easily.
Sure enough, Rayleigh continued to speak.
"That was the biggest disaster in our clan's history. Due to severe pollution, the original gathering place was uninhabitable, but it was surrounded by the sea and there was nowhere to go."
"By chance, our ancestors discovered this huge underground world. After discovering that it could accommodate everyone, our ancestors decided to move underground."
"Because I was so scared at the time, I never thought about the difficulties of living underground. But because of the strong fear, many people at that time overcame their uneasiness about the unknown and settled down."
"And it also stipulates an iron law."
"Everyone returning from an outing must undergo a radiation check before entering."
Having said this, as if he knew what Li Yi was going to ask, Lei Li continued to speak.
"Now there is no need to send people to guard and inspect. Everything is fully automatic. You wouldn't think that a technology that has even built an artificial sun doesn't even have such an automatic detection device, right?"
Li Yi was right.
These two technological levels were not on the same level at all, so he nodded involuntarily.
He did not see that after he made this action, the two dwarves whose eyes were not at the same level as him made a very slight exhalation movement.
The reason why Li Yi didn't pay attention to these subtle actions was not because he was relieved.
Instead, always pay attention to the increase in your exploration.
Ever since the old patriarch started telling stories to him, the world exploration speed that had been stagnant had jumped by a percentage every once in a while at a very fixed frequency.
Before Rayleigh spoke just now, it had already risen to more than ten percent!
This also means that if he wants, he can activate the first skill now!
Without further ado, Li Yi decided to activate it first.
After all, he was going to do a camp mission later to increase his favorability. If he didn't have a skill that he could use, he would really feel a little scared if he just relied on this ordinary body.
Just when he was about to click the "Do you want to activate the skill immediately" button, he was interrupted by Rayleigh's questioning.
"Hey! Friend, what are you thinking about? Our clan leader is asking you."
"What?"
Li Yi was confused, he didn't know what happened.
This expression was seen by Rayleigh, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with sympathy.
This is still a bit too forced for him!
After all, no one who has ever been to that island can come back.
Later, when the investigation team went there, they found nothing except for a corpse that had died tragically on the shore. The same was true for the clan leader. This kind of thing should be told!
Mr. Li is such a smart person. If you don’t tell him, wouldn’t he be able to guess it himself?
However, we, the black people, are most concerned about credibility. Mr. Li wants to die, so we should not agree before knowing everything.
If you regret it, things will get worse!
"Huh? What did you just say? I was distracted and didn't hear you."
Looking at Li Yi, who looked curious and seemed to want to know what happened just now, Lei Li suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt.
He even regretted bringing him here.
If I had known that the patriarch would let him go to Death Island, I would not have brought him back!
Even if he is allowed to wander around on the ground, it would be better to go to Death Island and die!
But the patriarch's order cannot be violated.
This made Reilly feel a little embarrassed.
But in the end, under the clan leader's gaze, he still chose to compromise.
"It's nothing. After all, there are some dangers there. It's just some precautions."
"Oh, that's nothing. I've never seen any kind of danger."
Li Yi looked careless, which made Lei Li even more uneasy.
However, he did not dare to say it to his face. After leading Li Yi out of the patriarch's residence, he spoke softly.
"Mr. Li, you must be careful, that island is very dangerous."
"I know, otherwise why don't you go by yourself?"
Lei Li was stunned and looked at Li Yi subconsciously, finding that the other person still had the same disapproving expression, as if he didn't take the danger he was about to face at all.
This was completely different from the behavior of the person he first heard about from Sanxi and others.
Isn't he a cautious person by nature who doesn't trust others easily?
Could it be that Sanxi and the others got it wrong?
So being unable to beat Sanxi is actually showing weakness?
After thinking about it for a while, Rayleigh felt the guilt in his heart lessen a little.
You also have something to hide, so don’t blame the clan leader for hiding something.
Everyone is even!
"By the way, are you going now?"
I was having a fierce ideological struggle with myself when I suddenly heard this sentence from Li Yi next to me.
Rayleigh was startled for a moment, then as if he was looking at someone he didn't recognize.
"Of course not. You have a good rest tonight. Because you are huge, we will make protective clothing for you tonight for tomorrow's operations."
Huge?
Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at his thin figure, which could be over 1.7 meters tall.
