Chapter 100: George's Determination (2)
Sean was shocked for the second time: "Red Slime?"
George shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with attributes, it's just a symbol of the king." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"King Slime, are they superior or inferior?"
"It's hard to say. Read on. ”
As soon as the red slime separated, the color quickly faded, and finally turned pale red, and quickly curled up towards the corner of the house, and many slimes wrapped layer after layer on it, the light red was covered by many translucent pale greens, almost invisible.
Nicholas and the others were speechless in shock. But even more surprising is yet to come.
Countless slimes crawled along the lab's sealed door, trying to find a way to escape, squeezing their bodies and spraying acid with their bodies, busy with their hearts.
Nicholas muttered, "They, they already have complete intelligence...... Joe, destroy them, hurry up and destroy them!"
As soon as Nicholas finished speaking, the laboratory was filled with a huge electric current, and all the slimes, both the experimental group and the contrast group, were reduced to piles of gray-black powder in front of the huge blue-purple thunder - including the slime king lurking in the corner.
"I've got complete defenses, rest assured," George whispered, "Now, allow me to introduce a new word: the swarm mind." ”
"Whether it's a bee or an ant, the strength of a single person is weak, but once a swarm is formed, its strength and intelligence should not be underestimated. Swarm thinking, that's it. George explained his new findings to the crowd, "It's almost impossible for slimes to form a swarm mentality, as you just said, Dad, the environmental carrying capacity problem, and slimes will not deliberately put themselves in danger of infinite reproduction leading to the extinction of the group." So, they've been living in a mess, and that's good for all species. ”
Nicholas mused, "You mean, if there is a special environment like the one in the laboratory just now, which makes them grow in large numbers, it is possible to develop 'swarm thinking'?"
"Yes, once formed, they have a huge number, they have a quick way to reproduce, it would be a terrible disaster, and besides," said Georgeson, "they eat everything." ”
Sean shuddered: "Aren't the mud dragons and iron earthworms in the graveyard the slime variants......?
George raised his hand: "Please don't worry, there is a lot of humus in the soil of the cemetery, but the consumption of mud dragons and iron earthworms is also very large, and they can't be simply split and straightened, the number can't be too many, besides, even if there is an event, you and Mr. Kosarocchi can completely use pheromones to break them up, don't let them be too concentrated." ”
Sean breathed a sigh of relief.
George continued: "The problem now is that Richard McNon of Hamilton is dying!"
Nicholas said, "You also have news about this?"
"Last night, I went to the underground ruins of the Drake Chamber of Commerce. As Dack said, there is a medium-sized magic reactor hidden in the mezzanine of the rock wall below the negative fifth floor, which was built by Rodriguez. The reactor contains six types of magical energy output, corresponding to six types of equipment, including experimental equipment, individual equipment, and heavy weapons. It has been dismantled, and those who can do this, those who deserve it, those who dare to do it, except for this idiot who is the second in ten thousand years, there is no one else. ”
Speaking of this, George glanced at the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce shipping bill on the small table in front of Nicholas and said, "It seems that you are also paying attention to this matter." Richard Manon is a half-bottle of vinegar, he only sees the convenience of this new type of reactor, but he doesn't know that the reactor designed by Rodriguez is completed with the almost unlimited resource supply of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and the design is quite imperfect, which will cause a large amount of magic energy to overflow! If these overflowing magic energy is fully absorbed by the surrounding creatures...... For example, on the negative third floor of the sewers, Port Snell - no, the whole of humanity is in danger. ”
"How do you know it's on the third level of the sewer?"
"The magic energy input device of all reactors is very simple, the general design is to drive the turbine with water or wind power, and drive the magic circle to do work to produce magic energy, Richard McNon does not have so many resources to deploy, and where the water flow in the sewer is more concentrated and the flow is large, the third layer is the most suitable. Team 1643 is about to collide with him head-on. No, it's going to collide with the horde of horror slimes created by this idiot's brainless moves!"
The faces of the three of them became ugly at the same time.
George continued, "The third layer is fine, it was cleaned once five years ago during the dredging of the sewers, but the fourth level, it's a huge sea cave that no one has been going down in thirty years, in case something in there absorbs the overflowing magical energy......"
Everyone shuddered!
Nicholas looked into George's eyes: "What's the plan?"
George also looked him in the eye: "Since you have found out, there is no reason to sit idly by." I'm going to go down myself! to save my friend. ”
"Don't forget, you have level eight, and once you go down, you will trigger the self-destruction circle of the quest item, Diderot's diary, don't you want it?"
George smiled: "I know, Diderot, in fact, is the pseudonym used by Monsieur Rodriguez when he was younger, and that diary must have recorded another path of his unfinished research, and if I could get it, it would be great, if I couldn't get it, at least," he was silent for a moment, "I can't let my friend die because of my bad decision." ”
"Good!" exclaimed Nicholas, "what's the plan?"
"I'm going to go down the drain right away, go straight down the third floor, and meet them. ”
"Wrong, the first layer of pipes is intricate, and now it's flooding inside, it's hard for you to go down, it's too late. ”
"So, what should I do?"
Nicholas smiled and said to Sean, "Sean, please go to the town hall." I told them that I heard that the first layer of the sewer was flooded, with heavy casualties, and that it must be the main sewage hole on the fourth floor that was silted, and asked them to immediately dispatch heavy excavators to dredge it. George, you go all the way up from the bottom of the sea, all the way up from the fourth floor! I'll bear the expense! Now, Sean, go at once! Within an hour, I'll be to the harbor myself!"
"Yes!"
There was a dull thunderclap outside, and the torrential rain poured down again. The rain was so heavy that some of it splashed onto the balcony and soaked the clothes of the father and son.
"Son, this time, you may be facing epic creatures, very dangerous, very dangerous!"
George smiled and put his hands on his father's shoulder: "Dad, what it has to face is a soul that this world has never had before! If it doesn't know what horror is, I'll teach it!"
"Go ahead!"
George nodded gratefully at Nicholas, strode to the balcony door, suddenly turned around, smiled at Alexia, and said, "I have something to ask you." ”
Alixia wiped her hands on her apron nervously: "You say, you say. ”
George pulled out a stack of paper from his pocket: "This is the script I just finished, it's called "The Rise of the Cult of Darkness", and I hope you and my dad can be actors." ”
Alixia took it, somewhat confused, and handed it to Nicholas.
George continued: "Also, my study, you can go in in the future, there is a call circle there, please pay attention to the news inside!"
"Yes...... Yes, I remember!"
"Finally, take care of my dad, thank you. I'm sorry, Mom. ”
Then he never looked back, gently closed the door, and strode away.
On the balcony, the old alchemist and his young wife hugged each other tightly, tears of joy flowing like the hearty rain outside the balcony.
