I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 486 Film
Bottle Cap touched the button reluctantly and left, because Lord Ying said that this work needed to be kept confidential.

"Can I really not listen, Master Ying?"

"No, this work is very important and must be kept secret. However, I will tell you after it is completed. I will also ensure the safety of your apprentice. Don't worry, little bottle cap..."

Just like that, Mo Ling was left alone next to the button.

The moment Lord Ying took away the small bottle cap, Mo Ling realized that he might have been exposed.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Pinggai left, Lord Ying’s next words directly revealed Mo Ling’s identity.

"You are from outside Sky Island, right?"

As a relic with great magical powers, Lord Ying was not as easy to fool as the small bottle cap. His gentle and steady voice made Mo Ling's heart beat wildly in an instant.

However, Lord Ying seemed to see through Mo Ling's thoughts and calmly explained: "I don't have any bad intentions..."

"I knew about it when you first arrived on the island, but I had no time to pay attention. The island is in a very bad state right now."

Mo Ling actually heard a hint of fatigue in that voice.

"You should also know that I haven't responded to the little bottle caps for a long time. The activation has completely spread. My cleaning of the activated objects is just a drop in the bucket. One day, the activation will completely devour this sky island and spread to the entire abyss."

While listening to Lord Ying's words, Mo Ling was also analyzing its purpose.

Lord Ying seemed to be very worried about the spread of activated pollution, and even his words and deeds showed that he had been suppressing the spread of activated pollution.

But isn't it just an animated relic? Why should we try to stop the spread of animated pollution?
The wider the activation spreads, the more relics are contaminated, and the more of their kind there are. Isn't this a good thing?

Mo Ling was very confused, but for now he could only continue listening.

"You have seen the Eye of the Stars, right? Have you seen that galaxy? It can arouse the desire in the hearts of all living things, and no one can escape it..."

As Lord Ying was speaking, a roll of film suddenly flew from the sky and stopped in front of Mo Ling.

"Do not be afraid."

The film slowly unfolded, and some blurry images began to appear on it, then slowly became clearer, and Mo Ling was gradually able to see the contents clearly.

"It's the transport team from before..."

However, what was recorded on the film did not seem to be the content of the transport team's battle against the antler ape, but another story.

The ethereal and gentle voice of Master Ying came again: "This is the ending of the movie, an ending that has never been shown..."

Mo Ling listened to the gentle voice and gradually sank into the film in front of him.

……

Why did the island come alive? No one knows.

When the transport team arrived on the island, the activation already existed.

However, the activated pollution at this time exists in another form.

"Leader, the cause of the rust on the weapons has been detected..."

"let me see."

"No, the computer is rusted and can't be used, but we recorded it in time." The researcher handed over the yellowed notebook in his hand.

The team leader was only stunned for a moment, then took the notebook.

After taking a quick look, he asked doubtfully:

"Oxidation?"

"Yes, it's oxidation. There's no special reason. Once the metal here is exposed to the air, it will oxidize faster."

The leader nodded. The oxide on the metal surface is rust. There is nothing wrong with it, but...

“Why does oxidation occur so quickly?”

"That's the problem." The researcher replied, "This sky island seems to be able to accelerate the activity of electrons. Redox reactions are actually the movement of electrons. Electrons become more active, and substances lose electrons faster, which causes oxidation to occur faster, so rust occurs quickly." The team leader was a little unresponsive to the researcher's words. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Have you found the reason for the increased activity of electrons?"

"No."

"Is this a relic phenomenon unique to this sky island?" the team leader guessed.

"It's very likely, but we haven't found the specific person yet, so we can't draw conclusions so quickly."

The researcher was very rigorous and did not directly confirm the leader's guess.

"Right now, rust is not the most important thing. We must leave this island as soon as possible. The human body's metabolism also relies on redox reactions. Electron activation will quickly deplete our energy."

"Although the gas masks can still protect us now, if we continue to stay on this island, our bodies will soon be infiltrated by activated electrons and quickly depleted due to accelerated metabolism."

The researcher said very seriously: "Some team members are already feeling suffocated. The human lung exchange capacity is limited. Once the metabolism speeds up, there will be insufficient oxygen supply. It is even possible that we will die of suffocation before we reach energy exhaustion."

As he was speaking, the leader's stomach growled.

"The decomposition of gastric acid is also a redox reaction, and the activation of electrons will also lead to faster digestion of food. Leader, our bodies have been affected..."

The researcher's words pierced the team leader's heart like thorns.

Right now, he was not in the mood to understand the source of the electronic activation. The most important thing was to get everyone to leave the Sky Island first.

"Without further delay, tell them to stop packing, throw away those useless supplies, and head out directly."

The leader asked his assistant to notify everyone. Perhaps due to lack of oxygen, he began to breathe heavily.

"set off!"

The transport team hurriedly dropped their supplies and began to flee the sky island at the leader's shout.

Many of them have begun to feel dizzy and their limbs are weak.

"Leave everything behind, saving your life is the most important thing!"

"Are we going to throw these relics away too?" Several team members who were carrying luggage with the relics asked unwillingly.

The leader didn't hesitate: "Throw it away!"

He quickly scanned the list of relics being transported this time in his mind, and there were no relics that could help the team escape quickly, so he made a decision immediately.

"Throw it away!" At his stern shout, the team members reluctantly took off their luggage.

Just like that, these powerful relics were also thrown to the ground.

The team leader gritted his teeth and led the team away without looking back.

However, even after throwing away the relics, their pace continued to become slower and slower. Even the strong leader felt that he was unable to keep up and his consciousness began to become blurred.

The place where they landed was in the center of the sky island. The battle with the antler ape had consumed a lot of their energy, and they didn't have much strength left.

"Team leader? Team leader?"

The leader felt a ringing in his ears and he seemed to hear someone calling him, but when he turned around he could not see anyone, only stars.

Huh~huh~huh~
The sound of rapid breathing mixed with the tinnitus in his ears and his stomach rumbled from time to time. The team leader could no longer run and stopped where he was.

He turned his head again and shook it vigorously.

"Hurry up and catch up!" He shouted this sentence with his last bit of strength, which also slightly dispersed the golden stars that were running around in front of his eyes.

However, no one responded to him.

The team leader opened his eyes wide and staggered, trying to see the current situation of his team members through the blurry images.

Finally, he saw clearly...

It turned out that there was no one behind him.
