Eighth day after the virus infection in New York.

St. John's Cathedral is filled with 3,000 candles, illuminating this sacred church. Li Shaoyang stood on the pulpit and put his hands on the quaint Bibles wrapped in gold edges. He wore the finest clerical uniform in all of New York, with silver trim at the neckline.

The reason for changing into this outfit was suggested by Fiona. She said that in this apocalyptic New York, wearing the clothes of a priest would give a sense of security. It's like in China, it's a truth that people in military uniforms always feel at ease.

Fiona herself has changed into church clothes, with a white veil on her head, and she is adjusting a tall machine. There was a working alcohol generator attached to the back of the machine, and dozens of wires hung from both sides of the machine. This is a treasure treasured by the New York Broadcasting Association, a manual broadcast signal that can use alcohol to generate electricity, transmit a wide range of frequencies in 10 commonly used bands, and transmit them all the way to a range of 200 miles through the New York Broadcasting Association's own signal tower.

Most of New York was without power, and there was no sound around, but the halls of the churches were packed. For New Yorkers, when hospitals are hopeless, when their attending doctors are lying in bed waiting to die, the church is the only place of hope.

So this place has been crowded with people since two days ago, all of them infected people with stiff bodies and red spots on their bodies, at least 300 people. The hall of St. John's Cathedral is a dome-like structure, and in front of the solemn icon of the priest, the tall dome resembles a sky full of stars.

Li Shaoyang walked down slowly, frowned and grabbed an infected person, pinched his mouth and looked at it, the man with red spots on his face let out a whining sound, like a wolf, his two canine teeth were already protruding, and the top of the teeth had sharp thorns......

Fiona walked over from behind and shook her head, "No, our machine can send a broadcast, but no one responds, you see, all the people who come here are infected, and there is no normal person." ”

Li Shaoyang smiled slightly: "I asked you to debug this machine, not to send broadcasts." ”

Fiona wondered, "What's that for?" ”

Li Shaoyang waved his hand and asked her to rest, then called out the little golden toad and said to Zhao Ling'er: "Using the broadcast signal, can you observe the whole of New York?" ”

Zhao Ling'er smiled in the stomach of the little golden toad: "I can use the broadcast signal as a medium to expand my thinking, but there is a problem here, the power of your signal transmitter is too low, and there are too few terminals that can accept the signal......"

Li Shaoyang said lightly: "These are not problems, I can upgrade the signal transmitter." As for the terminals that receive the signal......" he paused before saying, "We can use the public phone booths on the streets of New York." ”

New York phone booths are dotted all over the city, especially on the main streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, with tens of thousands of phone booths.

"Two years ago, the New York City government launched a plan to renovate a phone booth to convert these phone booths into kiosks with free WIFI signals, and although this plan was not completed, most of the phone booths in New York have already been installed with metal signal strips." Li Shaoyang said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ling'er also had to praise: "This is a feasible plan, so that I can use the signal to observe these three areas." But then she asked, "Uncle, what do you want me to observe this?" Spy on those who are about to turn into zombies? ”

Li Shaoyang said softly: "I want you to draw a map of infections and map all the infected areas in New York." ”

Zhao Ling'er was surprised: "Uncle, what are you doing with this map?" ”

Li Shaoyang smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I'm going to make a cover and cover all the infected areas." ”

……

Li Shaoyang upgraded the ancient signal transmitter to +3, becoming a machine that could release strong signals, and let Zhao Ling'er connect to the broadcast signal and start drawing a map of the infection. He came to the back of the church, and now it was time to refine the magic weapon.

Li Shaoyang first took out the materials for preparing the refining tool, the 'Giant Pulse Ruby Laser' with two layers of lenses, seven pseudo-chalices obtained from Madison Square, and of course, the real Holy Grail.

Li Shaoyang first dismantled the ruby laser, the core component of this laser is actually a tubular light particle amplifier, this core component can emit high-power laser energy, as for the other parts, it is just an additional part to control these energies.

The power of this ruby laser is huge, but the disadvantages are also obvious, not to mention the short shooting range, and the energy source is also limited. The technology of the Atlantic Alliance is to use a piece of energy crystal to create a high-explosive electromagnetic wave, which is limited, about 20 grams can support a launch, and now there are less than 60 grams left in this laser.

What Li Shaoyang wants to do is a magic weapon that can infinitely emit laser energy and can control it freely. He called it the "Light of the Firmament".

Before refining this magic weapon, it had already been given a name, so Li Shaoyang's thinking was very clear.

He took out the Shennong Ding, first melted those fake holy grails with the fire of spiritual power, and repeatedly quenched and extracted them from these garbage materials, and finally got a little bit of good materials.

What Li Shaoyang lacks most now is the materials for refining, which can be said to be pitiful, so that his refining is also greatly restricted.

Li Shaoyang made the material in his hand into a hollow ring, and after putting it aside, he took out the Holy Grail. That is, the "Eternal Magic Furnace".

Touching the wooden material on the outside of this Holy Grail, Li Shaoyang took a breath, he was going to do a super risky thing now, that is, to dismantle the Holy Grail.

It's not blasphemy, it's the best use of things. Li Shaoyang thought in his heart, and a spiritual power was condensed in his hand, and he gently cut open the wooden shell of the Holy Grail.

In this wooden shell, the flowing mass of energy began to be chaotic, forming the appearance of a magic furnace, but it was constantly gathering energy...... Li Shaoyang hurriedly picked up the refined hollow ring, forced this force into the ring, and then used a golden crystal rough stone to refine and melt, blocking both sides of the ring.

In this way, the Eternal Magic Furnace is locked in this ring.

Li Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and put the ring on his left hand, and now he wears three rings on his left hand, the demon refining pot on his little finger, the master demon dragon ring of the Freemasonry on his ring finger, and the Holy Grail ring on his middle finger. Not bad, not only did he rerefine the Grail and turn it into a ring, but he also got the shell of the Grail as a material for the refiner.

Li Shaoyang identified it, and this fast wooden shell was really unusual.

Item Name: Messianic Wood

Attributes: Immortal material

Ability Analysis: The Messianic Wood, the legendary material used to make Noah's Ark, has magical abilities.

Li Shaoyang smiled, this is the legendary material for making that Noah's Ark...... That couldn't be wasted, he only broke off a small piece of it, and let the little golden toad put the rest away.

With the small piece of wood in his hand, he rerefined the laser and upgraded it.

Now the laser in his hand has become a small cube, and the outside is a shell made of Messianic wood, and on each side of the cube, there are thousands of pores that can release the laser inside.

Li Shaoyang touched this "light of the sky", although it was small, but because it had the perpetual motion machine performance in the Holy Grail, it could release the laser energy that Li Shaoyang wanted almost infinitely, and it was operable. It is not suitable to be used as a weapon, because the distance at which this radiated laser can be released is too short, about 2,000 meters.

However, if you use this thing for defense, it can be very useful.

Li Shaoyang came to the top of One World Trade Center with the newly refined Celestial Light, and Fiona followed him.

Because of the explosion on the glass dome last time, the 541-meter-tall skyscraper has been stripped of the top layer, leaving only about 539 meters.

Li Shaoyang stood at the top, with a double antenna-like lightning rod beside him, but he raised the light of the sky in his hand and tried it slightly.

Fiona looked curiously: "This is the thing you are talking about?" ”

Li Shaoyang looked down into the distance and smiled at Fiona: "Take a good look while you still have time, wait a while, all you can see is darkness." ”

……

On the ninth day after the virus infected New York, the Sky Light was activated, and New York City was covered by a shroud of laser energy, covering all of the infected area, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and part of Long Island, as well as part of the Inland Sea, and half of the Hudson River.

According to the footage taken by the drone in front, when the light of the sky appeared, it was the early morning of the ninth day, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, a bowl-shaped energy shield appeared instantly, and the energy shield was isolated from the light, so it could not see inside, and all signals were isolated.

The edges of the energy shield, especially the part that is in contact with the land, shrink to the bottom. According to the on-site investigation of the rice isolation zone, within 100 meters below the ground, it is covered by an energy shield, and it is impossible to dig a hole from the ground to enter the energy shield, because once it touches the energy shield at the bottom, it will trigger a laser attack.

This result also proves that the person inside the energy shield ...... Or a monster, don't think about it.

New York has gone from an abandoned island to a closed dead space, and people outside can now breathe a sigh of relief, and it is impossible for the zombies and viruses inside to come out.

Soon, Huaguo's spokesman announced that this was the credit of the Planetary Defense Council, which once again aroused the attention of the outside world to the Planetary Defense Council.

Now, the Planetary Defense Council and its leader, Li Shaoyang, have become the saviors in people's hearts. Everyone was watching the closed hood, concerned and scared.

They were concerned about the lives and deaths of the survivors inside, and they were afraid that the hood would suddenly open and millions of hungry zombies would come out......
