Chapter 575 - 422 Suffocating Guess_2

Lin Yue was indeed a bit worried.

Lately, the temperature has also reflected some things.

The anticipated disaster seems really about to happen.

However, it was unexpected that the system would make an issue of disasters, becoming increasingly complex and cumbersome.

Moreover, it often leads to more difficulties emerging from a single disaster.

Just like this time.

The prairie is vast.

What kind of sight would the entire Otherworld present?

Lin Yue picked up the System Tablet again, looking at the last conjecture in the document written by Du Ping.

[The area where all of humanity currently resides seems to have a layer of Barrier.]

Barrier, what does it mean?

An obstacle between each other? A boundary? Or perhaps...

Lin Yue recalled those fantastical races, suddenly having a rather wild idea.

And this idea bears an extremely important piece of evidence.

"It seems there was something quite concerning from the very beginning."

Lin Yue pondered, his mind racing furiously.

"Ever since the groups have existed, ever since the world channel was formed, it seems every person has lived through the same day."

When it’s said it’s night, it’s night.

When it’s said a day has passed, a day has passed, even the time is perfectly unified.

Day and night are the same day and night.

There’s almost no difference.

It’s as if the entire seven billion populations of the world were placed within the scope of merely two or three time zones.

Within two time zones, there wouldn’t feel much of a difference between day and night.

How much is this approximately?

According to Earth, 15° of longitude is considered a time zone.

Though there are large areas like Tang Country using a single time zone, generally speaking, 15° of longitude would typically be judged as within one time zone.

According to Earth, how much land area would be within a time zone?

Especially after excluding polar regions and the like?

Not much, or rather, really not much.

Two time zones combined only cover 30°.

The Earth’s surface area, if remembered correctly, should be 510 million square kilometers.

Taking 30° out of 360°, even if all 30° were land, the final number would be

510,000,000 square kilometers ÷ 360 X 30.

The final number is 42.5 million square kilometers.

Sounds large.

But the premise is, without subtracting the oceans, or excluding the poles.

If all subtracted, leaving a third, or around 10 million square kilometers, would be fortunate.

And on this 10 million square kilometer land, if seven billion people were gathered...

At least, the distances between each should not be this sparse.

But if assuming this world is at a one-to-one ratio with Earth...

Then, the difference in land area is just inexplicably great.

On Earth, about less than a third of the surface area is land.

One must know, Earth’s total land surface area is as much as 150 million cubic meters.

The problem arises.

If by chance it’s mimicking the Earth on a one-to-one scale...

Then, where is the rest of the 140 million square kilometers of land?

The sentence Du Ping said, "The area where all of humanity currently resides seems to have a layer of Barrier," could he mean...

That the 10 million square kilometer area where humans currently live has a Barrier to the outside world?

Lin Yue thought of the regional map.

The contour at the edge of the regional map is exactly the same as that of Pizza Country!

"It’s cold." He disembarked onto the ground, and then restarted the engine of the tactical beach vehicle.

What will the future hold, how will disasters unfold?

Lin Yue pondered these questions, driving the vehicle directly toward the main base in the west.

...

A huge white Lion-headed Bear skin was laid on a sturdy wooden chair at the innermost part of this spacious room.

The wooden chair was wide enough for two, but at this moment was occupied by one person.

A tall woman with waist-length ink-black hair, wearing a dark suit resembling a military uniform, draped in a deep brown cloak big enough to cover her towering stature.

In the room with the air conditioning set to 17 degrees, she reclined on the chair, holding a folded long fan in her left hand, slowly tapping it against her right hand.

Her right leg draped over the left, her sitting posture didn’t resemble that of a "Leader," but there was no doubt she was the leader of this massive Refugee Village.

Lily Kalahao.

Her appearance wasn’t delicate, even bore some masculine ruggedness, with sharp and fierce eyes like those of an eagle beneath her sword-like brows.

"Leader, Du Ping and Sun Shuyi have failed; they are all dead now, and..."

Just as the bald man with a stubbly beard uttered "and," the sound of the fan striking her palm suddenly halted.

The bald man bent over, lowered his head and dared not utter a sound, let alone say more.

At this moment, nearly a hundred people in the room held the same posture as him.

The air fell silent, with even the sound of sweat dripping onto the floor clearly audible.

"Useless."

Lily Kalahao stood up.

Her over 1.8 meters height, no less than the average male, gave a loftier air when she stood, exuding an aura of superiority.

"A bunch of useless fools, good for nothings."

"Y-yes!" The bald man quickly responded, his entire body now covered in cold sweat.

The matter of lending troops to Du Ping was his responsibility, and to gain merit by eliminating Lin Yue, he had hastily agreed to mobilize a great number of Lizardmen and Survivors.
