Chapter 52
Nature is just that cruel, you'll get used to it eventually!
With this in mind, these civilization observers no longer cared about mocking the other civilization observers and hurriedly tried to find a way to rescue their observed species from the flood.
Kim Jung-tae frantically issued commands to the light screen, instructing the canine-jawed beast to swim upwards.
Jack made the Southern Cross Dragon swim south.
The Indian athlete led the crocodile to a shallower part of the floodwaters.
At this moment, only Oliver, the observer of civilization from Australia, smiled dismissively.
"See that? Only the ocean's overlord is the answer! And the ichthyosaur that Lao Tzu bound together is the overlord of the ocean!"
The observers of civilization in Australia finally felt a sense of triumph.
You should know that when he decided to choose the Ichthyosaur, almost everyone was not optimistic about him. Even the Blue Star Online Research Team of the Kangaroo Kingdom used a special tool to contact him and tell him not to choose the Ichthyosaur.
Most people in Australia believe that because of their remote location, Australia is essentially a single-player game. They think it would be a bit much to choose the ocean single-player mode in Blue Star Online.
You should at least show some sense of participation!
However, the observers of civilization in Australia stubbornly chose the ichthyosaur.
He also knew that the moment he chose the ichthyosaur, he had already said goodbye to Australia as his nationality.
So he kept enduring it!
Waiting for a chance to turn things around!
And today, it seems that the opportunity has finally arrived!
In response, the viewers of Australia, who had previously looked down on the Australian civilization observers as being like single-player gamers, have finally come to accept their own country's civilization observers.
[You know what, Oliver's got some skills! He actually managed to dodge both rounds of natural disasters!]
[Actually, if you think about it carefully, ichthyosaurs are quite strong, and they have no competitors. Other observed species are struggling to survive, while our kangaroo country's observed species are playing creative mode in the ocean.]
It seems final victory belongs to our Kangaroo Kingdom!
[How could we possibly accept this? We never imagined that our observed species from Australia would so beautifully disappear!]
It would be best if they were all dead, then we could win without waiting for time to run out!
[Yes, yes, great planner, please hurry up and create more natural disaster instances to wipe out these observational species linked to other civilizations!]
【…】
The Chinese audience simply watched and smiled, but remained silent.
While the species observed in your kangaroo country are indeed very elusive, when it comes to truly elusive beauty, your crocodile grandfather is second to none.
After all, ichthyosaurs can only live in the ocean, while protocrocodiles are amphibians that can live in both the ocean and on land.
The crocodile was not afraid of floods, nor was it afraid of volcanic eruptions in deep water.
In contrast, ichthyosaurs can only stay in the ocean, and if there is a problem with the ocean, they have nowhere to run.
So, watching the crocodiles swimming happily in the flood, the audience in China laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
Just when the observers and spectators of the Kangaroo Kingdom thought they were destined to win this round of natural disasters and achieve final victory, the despicable schemer spoke up once again.
Don't laugh, you can't escape it either!
The third wave of natural disasters is currently being generated randomly.
[The third minor natural disaster: severe oxygen depletion in the ocean.]
The next second, the volcano near the ocean began to erupt large amounts of volcanic ash, which covered the sea surface like clouds.
The ocean near the land instantly turned into a pitch-black place where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Then, the marine creatures began to convulse violently as if they were suffocating.
The ichthyosaurs were the first to sense something was wrong. They were swimming happily in the sea when suddenly it felt like something was choking them, and they couldn't breathe!
They hurriedly swam towards the sea, trying to get some fresh air, but all they got was powerful, needless to say, volcanic ash.
Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they had smoked thousands of cigarettes in one go. They rolled wildly on the sea surface, their tails slapping the water and splashing up huge waves.
This struggle lasted only a few minutes before the ichthyosaur's movements became slower and weaker.
Finally, they stopped moving completely, their bodies stiff as they floated on the surface of the sea, belly up, like capsized boats.
Centered on the point where the ichthyosaur carcass floated, more carcasses began to appear on the sea surface. Ammonites, nautiluses, and various marine reptiles—the carcasses of all sizes filled the entire area.
The once clear seawater turned murky and green, with bubbles rising to the surface. When the bubbles burst, they released a pungent sulfur smell.
Marine creatures don't drown; they suffocate.
The audience in Australia was stunned.
Oliver, the observer of civilization in Australia, was also stunned.
His mouth was agape, his eyes fixed on the belly-up fish and dragons on the screen, unable to utter a single word.
His prized fish and dragon, his trump card that he thought would guarantee victory, his choice that he staked all his dignity on—was it all just gone like that?
Just minutes ago they were swimming happily in the sea, and a few minutes later they turned into floating corpses.
Although his clan was not wiped out, the loss was still unbearable for him.
"I...I'm fucking stupid!!!"
Overwhelmed with anger, the observer of the Australian civilization fainted.
He slid straight off the sofa and lay motionless on the floor, his fingers still twitching unconsciously.
The ichthyosaur corpses on the light screen floated all over the sea, and his room was deathly silent.
As for the viewers in Australia, although they saw their civilization observers were furious, they were in no mood to make any more comments.
Damn it, first a super flood, then a volcanic eruption, then ocean oxygen depletion...
It's a fair distribution, no one can escape it, everyone's going to die!
They realized that the plan was never intended for the civilization observers and the observed species to survive!
This prehistoric world should just be destroyed sooner rather than later!
I'm tired!
For a moment, audiences from all countries fell silent.
It's not that I don't want to curse, it's that I'm too tired to curse anymore.
The flood came, and the cursing was done.
The volcano has erupted, and the curses have been hurled.
The ocean is now oxygen-depleted; it doesn't even have the energy to curse anymore...
The planners were inhumane; this wasn't something we knew from the very beginning.
Wang Lin was not surprised by these natural disasters, because that was the case in the Triassic period.
He slumped on the sofa, observing everything with indifference.
Don't assume that after the Permian-Triassic extinction event, another 51 million years would pass before the Triassic extinction event, and that animals would have plenty of food and shelter during that time.
There were quite a few minor extinctions during the Triassic period, such as the global super greenhouse, ocean anoxic events, ocean acidification, a supervolcano lasting for one million years, and a super-heavy rainstorm lasting for two million years...
In short, every natural disaster you can recognize occurred during the Triassic period, and more than once!
As for why natural disasters would launch a series of attacks, the culprit is none other than Blue Star's insistence on making a first-time purchase.
Supervolcanic eruptions trigger the greenhouse effect, and after a period of time, the greenhouse effect can cause torrential rains.
The warming of seawater led to a decrease in dissolved oxygen. Land runoff brought in a large amount of nutrients, which promoted the growth of algae and consumed oxygen. In addition, the weakening of ocean circulation ultimately caused a large area of oxygen depletion in the Triassic ocean!
This is an irreversible process, unless Earth stops its first-time recharge... and the volcano stops erupting!
However, volcanic eruptions were commonplace in the Triassic period, just like a baby urinating, which could happen anytime, anywhere.
As for how these creatures survive so many natural disasters?
Of course, nature is cruel like that. Just get used to it!
Those who couldn't hold on have already died.
Only those who survive have the right to dominate the world!
