"No, don't move!" When they heard Mo Li, all the staff and guests stayed rooted to the ground. "So that's why. No wonder I felt things didn't feel right." Mo Li heard this buzzing sound constantly since she got on the island.

Xiao Rui studied the power lines and commented, "10 kV high voltage electricity lines. The buzzing comes from the electricity arcing through the air?" He thought Mo Li was being too sensitive earlier but now he had to admit he was being careless.

This involves something called step potential. When a power line is downed, it gives off electrical current which spills out onto the ground, flowing outward and away from the power – creating a type of ripple effect. As might be expected, the power or voltage of the downed power line's electrical is higher nearer the power line and becomes lower as it gets farther away.
