Chapter 37: The Spirit of Gold

Half an hour ago, 14:55.

The fighter has crashed into the town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, and Li Qing and Giorno have just formed a two-person team to farm the epic boss.

The two men ran along the road in the direction of the crash site, trying to find a suitable means of transportation.

"Oh my God...."

Li Qing tried to enter the data mode, and used his keen hearing to perceive the movement of the crash site a few kilometers away.

"How?" Giorno heard Li Qing's subconscious exclamation: "Is the situation bad?" ”

"What do you say?"

Li Qing spread his hands helplessly: "I can hear that guy's movement from three kilometers away, can this situation not be bad?" ”

"Light is judged by sound waves..."

He paused deliberately, and said to Giorno in a ghostly tone:

"This monster is almost five or six meters tall after swallowing the engine of the plane."

"Oh."

Giorno was not at all intimidated.

He just sighed softly, and said calmly:

"The power of the fighter engines is much greater than that of the school buses, which is to be expected."

"But..."

Giorno glanced at Li Qing, who had a slightly subtle expression, with some concern: "You seem to be a little depressed?" ”

"It's not depressing..."

Li Qing was slightly surprised by Giornuo's observation, and then said in a complicated tone:

"I'm just thinking about a question..."

"In order to save myself, I accidentally led the piece of meat onto the bus; In order to save the students on the bus, I stayed behind to fight with you; In order to save me and you, I led the pieces of meat onto the plane again; In order to save himself, the pilot let the plane fall into the densely populated city. ”

"In the end..."

"I've saved some people, but maybe many more will die because of it."

"What the hell is this? Isn't it better to do nothing from the start? ”

“........”

Giorno was silent for a while:

"The question... It's boring. ”

His gaze was always steadfast:

"We just did what we had to do."

"It's not us who should be asked, it's the garbage that unleashes this monster."

"This..."

Li Qing was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing:

"Hahahaha..."

"This state of mind that never wavers... Are you really only 13 years old? ”

"Genuine."

"It's just the first half semester of junior high school this year."

Giorno glanced at Li Qing helplessly, and said very seriously:

"Don't think about such boring things."

"Let's do what we can next!"

As he spoke, he began to analyze the battle situation intently:

"Although the monster has become larger, in fact, the situation is far more favorable than before:"

"We were so close to the piece of meat that we just moved and it caught up to us."

"And now, we can keep a maximum safe distance from it and extend the time it takes for it to catch up with us."

"That's right."

Li Qing transformed Giorno's concept into a more understandable statement for the people of the Dragon Country:

"The monster has always been slightly faster than us, and as far as I've observed, it's always been about 1.2 times faster than its prey."

"If the distance between me and the monster is X(m) and my velocity is V(m/s), then the time it will catch up with us should be t=X/(1.2-1)V=5X/V."

"Obviously, the greater the distance, the more time we can get to escape safely."

As he spoke, he added:

"And I've observed it before, the maximum perception range of that monster should be 100 meters.

"In other words, X can be up to 100, and we can attract its hatred 100 meters away from it."

"Uh..."

Giorno got used to Li Qing's way of understanding a little, and then answered:

"That's right."

"This V, in fact, is what we must maintain, the fastest speed of all moving objects in the monster's perception range."

"There will certainly be interference from other people on the way, but this interference is very limited on land."

"Even if there is a car passing by the battlefield, let's say it is moving at a speed of 60 km/h, then we just need to make the travel speed V>60 km/h = 16.67 m/s."

"X takes the maximum value equal to 100, V>16.67, and substitutes it to get t<29.99 seconds!"

"This means... As long as we keep a maximum distance of 100 meters from that monster in advance, even if there is a car on the road with a speed of 60km/h, we can buy ourselves close to half a minute of safety! ”

"Time is enough!"

Li Qing's eyes lit up and added:

"In that case, as long as the two of us always maintain a maximum safe distance and draw its hatred back and forth from different directions, we can pull this irrational monster in the direction we want it to go!"

"It's like an additive vector!"

"Uh..."

"I understand the reasoning, but..."

Giorno, who was still in his first year of junior high school, said with a confused face: "What is a vector?" ”

...................................................

14:58 min.

"To make it happen, we have to make sure we can move faster than any distractor, including cars."

"Obviously, this has to be done with the help of transportation."

"The car is too bulky to handle difficult terrain, and the bicycle is not fast enough to meet the requirements, so..."

"A motorcycle that combines speed and agility is the right choice."

While explaining his intentions to Li Qing with a serious expression, Giorno easily picked the lock of a motorcycle parked on the side of the road.

"Hey, hey..."

Looking at Giorno's serious and focused appearance when he picked the lock, Li Qing couldn't help but complain twice:

"Why are you so skilled?"

"Huh?"

"Did you say stealing a car?"

Giorno didn't raise his head, but said calmly:

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but it's also something that can't be helped."

"My stepfather had a terrible relationship with me, and he wouldn't even pay for my tuition."

"And I'm only 13 years old this year, and there is no serious place to recruit child laborers of my age."

"So..."

"It's impossible to work part-time, and you can't do business, so you can only maintain your life by stealing this kind of thing."

He finished his experience without changing his face, and then added directly:

"That's right..."

"We needed something other than motorcycles."

"When the battle begins, the two of us will definitely be quite far apart."

"There's no way to communicate in the chaos just by shouting, so it's better for everyone to have a mobile phone for instant communication in battle."

"I have a mobile phone with me, but I don't know if you have it on me."

"I see."

Li Qing understood Giorno's reasonable request to "turn on the team's voice", and immediately nodded yes: "I'll find a way to get a mobile phone now." ”

As soon as the words fell...

An angry voice suddenly sounded next to him:

"Bastard, bastard!"

"What are you doing with my car?!"

The speaker was a young man in a green shirt, jeans, and a plush hat, exuding a lazy energy, and looking very idle.

He pointed to the motorcycle that had been locked by Giorno and did not know how to ignite it, and said angrily:

"Get me down, you shameless car thief!"

"Ugh..."

"Why are you saying so ugly?"

Giorno didn't bother to respond, but Li Qing patiently gave a kind answer:

"How can this world-saving thing be said to be stealing?"

"Your motorcycle has been requisitioned by us, and the people of Naples will not forget your contribution."

"You, you!"

The young man in society was so angry that his face was twitching:

"You brazen man..."

"Stop me, I'm going to call the police!"

"Oh?"

Li Qing's eyes lit up: "Call the police?" Did you have your phone with you? ”

"That's right!"

The young man of society angrily took out a brand-new Nokia from his pocket and threatened with full anger:

"I can call the police right now, and you're still not stop?!"

"Oh..."

Li Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled gently: "Then thank you." ”
