Chapter 116: Liquid Metal
Listening to Shi Lan's words, Liu Ye couldn't help but be stunned.
That's right, the average person can't leave such a visible footprint on the metal pipe wall.
Just ordinary walking can leave such traces, and the physical fitness of these two people obviously cannot be measured by common sense.
However, this is also to be expected. The guy who stayed in this kind of place, he never thought that the other party would be a harmless civilian.
"Hmm-so do you want to keep going?" Shi Lan pursed her lips and looked at her toes, "I have a bad premonition, Liu Ye, let's not go any further." ”
"Don't you go any further......
Liu Ye didn't reject Shi Lan's proposal at the first time, and he also had a feeling of uneasiness, as if there was an invisible hand hanging above the back of his neck, like a man's back, like sitting on pins and needles, but magic gave him confidence, even if he encountered danger, he was sure to get through it safely.
"Don't worry, if we encounter something weird, we can withdraw as soon as possible, isn't there a hole in the place where it fell, and it will be good to fly up directly when the time comes. Liu Ye squeezed out a smile, "We are magicians, how can we retreat so easily." ”
"Hmm...... My hunch has always been accurate. Shilan hesitated, "Forget it, I'll listen to you." You're right, as a magician, you can't easily bow down to the things of the scientific world. ”
The two of them walked along the pipe wall for another ten minutes, and finally came to an open field, which was a very large underground deep well, about two hundred meters above the surface, and a long dragon-like circular track spanned the long sky, connecting many spherical, cylindrical, and cuboidal buildings, scattered scattered in all corners of the area.
"What's that?" Shi Lan saw something extremely novel, in the center of those criss-crossing tracks, there was a towering tree tens of meters high, and its branches and leaves were emitting an extremely bright white light.
"Ah, that thing. Liu Ye smiled slightly, "It is said that it is the bad taste of a certain big man who spent a huge amount of money to build such an artificial tree underground, and injected a long-lasting luminous pith with a validity period of sixty years in places other than the main trunk to replace cheap lights." ”
"Eh, it turned out to be man-made, I thought it was some powerful magical creature. Shi Lan suddenly became a little less interested, "Such a big magic tree, there must be a lot of useful materials." ”
"Uh...... There are so many magical creatures. Liu Ye looked around, "And this is one of the cores of the scientific world?" That kind of thing wouldn't be here, would it?"
This area is the core experimental area of Tianyi Workshop? The environment here hasn't changed much from what he remembers, and the interruption of the energy supply has made the exterior lights on the laboratory wall and the indicator lights on the magnetic elevator track not illuminate? Only the big tree in the center of the whole area is glowing? The unlit corners were slightly eerie, and the air smelled damp and cold.
Where they are now is a small cistern? It's a little lower than the surrounding terrain, and the pipe they just walked through looks like a rainwater harvesting pipe? So, isn't that space with black stones a garbage dump? are all residual impurities from treated experimental wastewater?
Thinking of this? Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a little disgusting with the hand that had pinched the stones, the water in the pool in front of him was dark green, and the ghost knew what kind of mess was mixed in it.
"Where are we going next?" Shilan looked around, the distance between each building was terrifying? But just know the distance and the terrain? This is not a problem for magicians. In other words, they can go anywhere in their field of view without obstacles.
The footprints disappeared here, Liu Ye's eyes swept around, this reservoir didn't even have a maintenance ladder to climb, and the height of the pool wall was about four meters? But it's so smooth that there's nowhere to put your hands on? It's not that everyone is a magician like them who can teleport, how did those two people get there?
"Goo-goo...... "At this moment? The pool suddenly bubbled.
The two of them felt a pang in their hearts, and they took half a step back? The back was attached to the pool wall.
"Bang!" a hand suddenly broke through the wall? Pale fingers clasped Shilan's neck like iron pincers!
"Ahh I never expected the attack to come from behind, so I was defenseless and immediately screamed in fright.
"Shilan!" Liu Ye's eyes were cracking, and he raised his right hand as he rushed over, ready to release his magic, but as soon as he took a step, there was another "bang", and a hand also stretched out from the pool wall on the left, grabbed his wrist, and pulled his entire arm to the wall.
As soon as his teeth were clenched, the silver flames on his body erupted, and the incredible high temperature suddenly scorched the pale hand, but the flames that were enough to melt the steel were not enough to let it go, but instead he grabbed it tighter and tighter, making Liu Ye's bone joints click.
Unable to breathe, Shilan's face grew bluer and bluer, and she desperately pulled the hand that was clasping her neck, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break it open. Part of her upper body was already embedded in the wall, and if it weren't for the protection of the magic, her trachea would have been cut off at this moment.
"Damn. Liu Ye knew that he couldn't go on like this, Shi Lan came here with him, and if something happened here, he would definitely not be able to forgive himself.
But his right hand was locked, so he couldn't move his body at all now, half of his body was pressed against the wall and couldn't move, and he could only watch Shi Lan's breath get weaker and weaker.
"Bang!" There is no time to hesitate! With a horizontal heart, Liu Ye directly pulled the joint of his right arm apart, and by forcibly pulling out a short distance between his body and the wall, the flames in Liu Ye's left hand rose up, and the lightning flashed, slamming into the pool wall like a burning little sun!
"Give me, get out!" he shouted, and the wall of the pool in front of him exploded, and the white hand that grabbed his wrist finally let go, as if it had been sent off with its owner.
"Cough, cough, cough......" Shi Lan's face turned pale, the duck sat on her knees and gasped, her throat hurt hotly, and a bloody breath rushed up, choking her and coughing.
Almost, just a little, her trachea was about to be snapped.
Liu Ye took a momentary step, picked up Shi Lan with his left hand, and moved to the top of the pool in another instant, opposite the broken pool wall.
"Also...... Is it okay?" The fragrance was in his arms, but it was not a good time for tenderness and water, Liu Ye didn't know what to say to comfort Shi Lan, who had escaped death, and held back for a long time, only spitting out a pale and weak greeting.
"I, I'm fine. Shi Lan slowly straightened herself, barely squeezed out a vibrant smile, and then looked at Liu Ye's loose right shoulder joint with concern, "Your hand ......"
"It's not a big problem. Liu Ye took a deep breath, frowned, pressed his left hand on his right shoulder and slammed it back, the severe pain made a layer of cold sweat ooze from his forehead, but he still pretended to smile casually.
"Next...... Let's see, what almost killed us. Liu Ye let go of the hand holding Shi Lan's waist and raised his eyes to look at the billowing smoke below, where a tall figure was slowly approaching.
The back of the pool wall turned out to be empty.
When he finally saw the appearance of that figure clearly, Liu Ye's pupils couldn't help shrinking, this person's skin was extremely pale and bloodless, as if it had been painted with white paint, the two black eyes were round like black dates, and he was wearing a wide suit that didn't fit well, hanging on his body like rags, swaying from side to side with his steps.
The terrible thing was that the hands hanging by his side, his right hands were no longer formal, as if they had melted, and they kept dripping milky white liquid, but before those droplets fell to the ground, they absorbed themselves back, so countless large and small droplets circulated back and forth on his side, looking extremely terrifying.
"Is it a magician...... Liu Ye silently called out to the deadwood staff in his heart, but the latter once again conveyed the message of "sleepiness" to him.
Still can't use a wand...... He gently bit off the peeling on his dry lips, which was not good news.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
The man didn't answer Liu Ye's question as if he hadn't heard, and just walked forward like a zombie.
Liu Ye frowned, since the other party didn't mean to talk at all, then there was no need for him to rub his tongue with the other party.
An instant step came behind the white guy, a side lunge stepped out, the toes drew a semi-circular trajectory on the rocky ground, and countless flying ice crystals quickly converged towards Liu Ye's hand, and the brilliant blue light instantly dispelled the darkness of the cave behind the pool wall.
"Chop. His lips opened slightly, and he gently spat out a cold syllable.
A dark blue long sword slashed down at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and with a flash of crescent-shaped knife light, the person's body was instantly broken into two from the waist like a fragile cake, and at the cross-section, the ice and snow storm broke out, rolling the two pieces of remnants onto the top of the cave at once, stirring them into meat puree, and throwing them behind Liu Ye.
The ice crystal sword slowly dissolved in his hand, slashing the enemy with a single blow, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked in the direction where Shi Lan was, and grinned.
But Shi Lan didn't smile, only stretched out the index finger of her right hand, trembling and pointing to his position, her mouth slightly open, as if she saw something beyond her cognition.
"Shilan, what's wrong?"
Liu ...... Liu Ye, behind you...... He, he, he...... He's floating!"
"What?" Liu Ye was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned around with a dash and a hundred and eighty degrees to pull away, Shi Lan must have seen something incredible, the battle was not over yet.
Two large white clumps of liquid floated in the air, and many small droplets were drifting towards them.
"Isn't it over yet...... the flying ice crystals gathered in Liu Ye's hand again, "If it doesn't work once, then come ten more times." ”
"Plop. The sound of something sticking out of the water suddenly sounded in his ears, and before he could react, the ankles of his two feet were jerked, and Liu Ye suddenly lost his balance and slipped on the edge of the reservoir.
"And?!" he looked behind him, two pale hands grabbing his ankles and dragging him into the cistern, so powerful that even as he plunged his ice sword into the ground, he couldn't completely stop the tendency to slide backwards.
"Liu Ye!" Shi Lan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly took out her wand and aimed it in Liu Ye's direction, the ancient syllables echoed between her lips and teeth, and two golden water columns spun and flew out, cutting off those two hands from their wrists.
What people didn't expect was that just like the flow of water cut by someone with a knife, in just a moment, the broken wrist was automatically connected.
A huge force erupted, and Liu Ye was dragged into the turquoise pool by those hands.
In the light green, he saw that there seemed to be a vague figure behind Shi Lan, and he wanted to shout, but he only spit out a string of bubbles, and choked on a large amount of strange green pool water.
"Gollum ......"
No more...... Liu Ye felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
What the...... It's all out of sight......
"Liu Ye!" Shi Lan was impatient, her hands and ten fingers were pressed together in front of her chest, and the light of various colors flashed alternately in the center of her hands.
"You want to save him, you can go down for me too!" a somewhat hoarse female voice sounded behind her.
A strong current flowed through the atrium in an instant, and Shilan's pupils lost their luster for a moment.
With a gentle push, the girl's body also fell into the dark green pool.
Now there was only one woman standing on the wall of the pool wearing a dark blue mask.
She tucked the special high-voltage stun gun into the pocket of her body armor and opened the miniature walkie-talkie at the neckline.
"Doctor, it's all done, ready to be recycled. ”
"Two at a time? How do these guys come to the door again and again. It's getting more and more peaceful. "On the other side of the intercom was an old male voice.
"Who knows?" the woman shrugged, "Then again, if they weren't so stupid, would we have survived until now?"
"Hehe, by the way, has the cause of the explosion been identified?"
"Nope. The woman shook her head, "I can't tell how I got it, there's no explosives left." ”
"What's going on?"
"I only know that someone must have done something, and a robot we put on the first floor should have been damaged by that person, and he should still be nearby, but it will be difficult to find out for a while, so I'll come back first." ”
"After all these years, haven't you gotten used to it?"
"Huh, what are you used to?"
"The same result can have a myriad of causes, and explosives are not necessarily needed for an explosion. Have you seen less bizarre and uncommon sense in the past five years?"
"Well, that's right. The woman snorted softly, "After all, we are now a violation of common sense." ”
"Alright, let's come back first. ”
"Drop. The woman turned off the walkie-talkie.
