Chapter 178: Approaching Danger
In the mythology of the Hindustani people, it is believed that the sun nourishes all things and grows gold in the earth, gold is the embodiment of the sun, silver-white silver is the embodiment of the moon, copper is the embodiment of Venus, liquid mercury is the embodiment of Mercury, and iron is the embodiment of Mars. Saturn is the farthest and coldest of the five planets, so his incarnation is the most stable and blunt lead.
They see carbon and mercury as the basic elements of all things, in which the essence of carbon is active, masculine, and the embodiment of combustibility, which is also the so-called "yang" in Zhuxia alchemy. The essence of mercury is passive, feminine, and belongs to water, which is also the so-called "yin" in Zhuxia alchemy.
Yama created all of this, and he used the laws of yin and yang to keep the world running.
This concept, driven by the Ouroboros, was very clearly and firmly established. and was received by the majority of the Hindustani.
The supreme beings of the Holy Demons want to imperceptibly make human beings forget the existence of atoms, molecules, and the universe. and to re-deprive humans of the psionic energy that they already possessed, and to put the Earth back under their control.
Li Mu believed that even among the Taoists of Zhuxia, there was an unknown holy demon hidden behind it, pushing the same thing. Even alchemy is a sweetness that He throws out.
However, according to the theories of these holy demons, precious mutated metals can also be extracted from the corpses of mutated creatures. They believed that masculine carbon, under the action of fire, could change the properties of matter, turning the ore into the incarnation metal of the astrological phase.
Li Mu dug a large pit in the ground inside the warehouse and threw the body of the king snake inside. The corpse was stuffed with hundreds of pounds of charcoal and poured with the blood of salamanders. Immediately after it was ignited, it burst into flames. He held a rusty iron pipe in his hand. With a strong lung capacity, he puffed into the fire.
There was a crackling sound. The moisture in the corpse was quickly dried by the flames. Li Mu used a long iron hook to fully mix the charcoal with the corpse. It didn't take long for the body to be set on fire. All of a sudden, the flames rose to five or six meters, making it impossible to see what was going on in the fire pit.
In the flames, the metal compounds in the corpse of the king snake began to undergo a chemical reaction, which was reduced by carbon and refined into metal elements.
The time required for this reaction is not short, and this carbon is enough to burn for three to five hours. The metal in the corpse of the king snake was completely calcined.
The flickering firelight reflected Li Mu's face, and he was a little irritable from the hot roast.
He warily held his sword in his hand. Now is the most critical time. Calcination cannot be stopped. The corpse of the king snake was constantly reacting in the flames, and objects with drastic changes in composition and objects in motion could not be included in the wave particle transformation rune.
"I hope those bombs don't come in handy."
Li Mu thought silently in his heart, took out his mobile phone, there is no communication base station in Lakin Bed, but the mobile phone is loaded with satellite communication and radio talkie-talkie modules, and it can still maintain communication. It's just that you can't connect to the mobile network.
"Is there anything unusual out there, over?"
He turned up the radio intercom mode and said to Li Mei. Li Mei was now wearing an invisibility cloak, lurking on the top floor of a dilapidated building diagonally opposite the warehouse. The view is good, and you can monitor all the movements in the vicinity of the warehouse.
"There are no anomalies, there are fourteen ghouls three hundred meters away. But they were lying on the ground, and no one was moving. ”
Li Mei lay on a blanket. In front of him was the anti-materiel rifle. The rifle opened the bipod and was facing the group of ghouls. In front of her was a carefully drawn range card. All found mutated creatures are marked on it.
The group of ghouls was lying in ambush on the ground, waiting for their prey to appear. They seem to be sluggish and clumsy, but they are extremely explosive, and they can pounce four or five meters away in an instant to kill their prey.
Just as Li Mei was about to shift her gaze and spy on the other mutated creatures, the ghouls suddenly made an unusual commotion. As if startled by something, they rose from the ground and roared nervously in one direction.
Her nerves tensed immediately, and she aimed her gun in the direction where the ghouls were roaring. Ghouls only make such threatening gestures when they feel threatened.
I don't know what it is, but it actually makes the fourteen-headed ghouls feel threatened.
The triumphant, slick bulldogs ran over, staring at the ghouls and beginning to circle the ghouls, squeezing a few threatening growls. They never come within five meters of a ghoul, and will run away whenever a ghoul tries to close the distance.
The three fighting dogs consumed the ghouls' physical strength in this way, and when they were exhausted, they pounced on them and killed the ghouls.
Li Mei didn't relax because there were only a few dogs that appeared. If these three hounds were wild, they would not have grown so strong. They don't even have the scars that are common to mutated creatures in the wasteland, and they're clearly well cared for. Being able to possess such skillful hunting skills, they are clearly well cared for.
"There's a situation, someone is coming."
She said to Li Mu in the phone, and put her finger on the trigger. If it was just ordinary scavengers, she would shoot and drive people away from the area.
There was a roar of motors, and two pickup trucks stopped at the intersection. First a strong, ape-like man got out of the car, and then a bald old man with a strange silver tattoo on his head.
Li Mei recognized Shang Heyu at first sight, the evil old man, and she almost subconsciously pulled the trigger and shot him to death.
"Calm down! Calm down! Let them get into the effective range of improvised bombs. ”
She took a deep breath to control her emotions, picked up the detonator that was placed beside her, and pressed her hand on the knob.
At this moment, Shang Heyu suddenly didn't know that someone was aiming at his head with an anti-materiel rifle. He frowned as he glanced at the group of ghouls, the roars of which tended to startle the two hiding in the ruins.
A strong mental wave radiated from his brain.
【Tide of Pain】
All the ghouls and dogs froze and fell to the ground.
The highland hunter was expectantly preparing to watch his treasures tear up the ghouls, but he didn't expect that his carefully bred fighting dogs would be killed by Shang Heyu so casually.
He gasped, his eyes widened in anger, and he raised the rifle in his hand and prepared to shoot Shang Heyu.
A palm the size of a fan grabbed his neck and squeezed it hard. The Highland Hunter's face turned purple in an instant, and a pair of eyeballs protruded from their sockets, covered in bloodshots. He was pinched to death like a chicken.
"No one is allowed to make a sound, and whoever it is, I will tear him alive."
Xiao Bing lowered his voice and glanced at his subordinates, revealing a row of white teeth in his mouth, which made people shudder. As he spoke, he picked up the corpses of his men and threw them next to the carcasses of the fighting dogs.
All the marauders nodded, silent, they knew the bottom line of the head, and he didn't want to make any mistakes. (To be continued.) )
