Chapter 249: It's not funny at all
After the explosion, the runaway propulsion engine finally ended its madness, and the main part of the engine was blasted into a large hole, and the propulsion vent and a long section of components or even the whole thing fell off the engine, and was pushed into the endless and far-reaching space by the force of the explosion. Regardless of whether the rest of the engine is still running or not, it will never be able to produce any thrust anyway.
As the main engine shut down and the rest of the surrounding equipment quieted down, Hao Ren saw that a fire of varying strength was erupting elsewhere on the outer edge of the floating island, and it was the remaining normal thrusters trying to adjust the attitude of the island and recover it from the previous frantic tumbling. The crisis is finally over.
Itzax dissipated his demonic power and relaxed: "It's been a long time since I've been so nervous, it reminds me of the time when I was fighting in my hometown." โ
The two of them flew to the floating island, the engine was blown and left a huge crack, this place has been unrecognizable, Hao Ren searched for a long time to find a way back from the twisted and crooked metal remnants and a large area of scorching dust mist, the maintenance area has only half left, but fortunately, the power of the explosion stopped there, the maintenance passage behind the maintenance area and the gates of each gate have not been affected, and the remains of the elves placed near the second gate have not been affected, Hao Ren took the body back to the surface.
The artificial gravity in this area seems to have recovered a little, and although it is still uncomfortable, it is at least possible to walk normally.
A large group of people had already gathered outside the exit, except for the magicians who were still maintaining the sealing of the rift, almost all the elves involved in the rescue had gathered around, and Hao Ren was startled by the crowd in front of him as soon as he appeared. However, he first put the body he was carrying on his shoulders on the ground: "I found a victim ......"
The elves fell silent, and a wounded man with a bandage on his arm squeezed through the crowd to identify him, and let out a sigh: "Sure enough, it's Angleton, he was trapped in the lowest maintenance room when the explosion happened...... But thankfully, his body was brought out intact, thank you. โ
Hao Ren didn't know how to accept this thanks, and at this time, two more elves rushed through the crowd to hear the news, these were two female elves who looked slightly different in age, their wrists and arms were bandaged, and their faces were bloodstained, apparently also injured in the previous explosion. The two elves pounced on Angleton's body. Whispering in grief. Someone next to him explained that it was Angleton's wife and daughter -- a family of three who all worked in the crew and had recently moved to the city. Before the new life began, it was abruptly ended by an accident.
The older elf recovered faster, and she wiped the tears from her face. He looked up and showed a grateful expression to Hao Ren. Then he gently patted his daughter on the back: "Mana." After going back, I told the ration chief, and in the future I received a ration for two people. โ
Hao Ren remembered that there was a similar joke on Earth, but now he didn't think it was fucking funny!
Maybe this life has been going on for too long. It has been made for the elves to carve certain things into their bones, and the loss of their loved ones makes them sad, but at the same time, they will also think of the problem of reducing the ration quota for the first time, which is a habit that can only be twisted by thousands of years of high-pressure life, and it is difficult for humans born on the earth to be rich in resources to imagine this qiฤ. Lily and Vivien were outside to help treat the wounded or clean up the buildings that had collapsed due to the explosion, and they also ran over at this time, and they had seen many lives and deaths in their lives, but they still felt a little emotional about what they saw. The voice of the number jรน terminal sounded in Hao Ren's head: "If only there was a priest of the goddess of life, or a general-purpose resurrection device, people like this can be resurrected within a few hours of death......"
Hao Ren just wanted to say something, but Vivian next to him suddenly hesitated and spoke: "Maybe I can try?" โ
"How do you try?" Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.
"The corpse looks intact," Vivien said with little confidence, "and I don't know if my blood will work...... Anyway, when I used to save people, I only had a 1 in 5 success rate, and I don't seem to be different from other bloodlines in this regard......"
"Let's try it first," Hao Ren quickly pushed Vivien forward, cheering up the unconfident vampire, "It can't be worse anyway, right?" โ
Vivien politely asked the elf mother and daughter who were immersed in grief to get out of the way, and in their puzzled gaze, the vampire girl drew a complex rune on the chest of the dead elf with blood mist, this rune slowly seeped into the other party's body, and at the same time, Vivian's nails quickly lengthened until they became like sharp bayonets, and she whispered something after the blood mist had completely penetrated, and then did not hesitate to plunge her nails into the heart of the dead elf!
Hao Ren heard her read: "If you come to Guanyin, Jesus Mary 12345, bless don't be crooked......"
Immediately he knew what was going on with the one-fifth success rate: just pray for this sentence, the heavenly immortals would have to fight for half an hour before they could determine who would help, and this time she also added an extraterrestrial flying immortal who was more reliable than anyone else - it would be better if she didn't say this!
However, this time Raven 12345 seemed to have really manifested, and shortly after the spell was cast, the dead elf's body suddenly trembled, and then opened its eyes with a strange stiffness.
There was an uproar among the elves around him, and the elf mother and daughter were even more completely stunned, Hao Ren dragged Vivian and Lily away from the crowd before the situation became chaotic, and he looked back at the chaotic scene with a little worry: "By the way, you turned him into a vampire?" How did it go the other way I thought it would be, I thought you were going to take a bite......"
"That's the way to transform low-level blood servants," Vivien waved her hand, "From the eyes of the blood clan, it is food processing, similar to dipping some sauce when eating, although it is simple, but the consciousness of the blood servant is fragmentary, and he can only follow the instructions of the blood clan. I'm using a more advanced transformation method. โ
Lily frowned: "Then he is already a vampire, will he suck blood to live in the future?" There should be only one vampire like you who eats normally......"
"No, I've tried it before, I don't know if it's my bloodline special or what's going on, although the people I rescued are a little afraid of light, but other places are the same as ordinary people, although they occasionally have blood-sucking impulses, they can easily control it, and they can live if they eat normal food," Vivian frowned, "I just don't know why, my transformation success rate is always only one-fifth, whether it is used on the living or the dead, and the success rate of other bloodlines when transforming high-level descendants is one hundred percent." And the people I transformed into are completely ordinary humans, and they don't have any special abilities at all. โ
Hao Ren responded casually: "I have time to ask 12345 to check you in the future, there must be something abnormal in your physique......"
At this moment, a speeding car suddenly flew from the direction of the city center and stopped firmly in front of several people, and a familiar elf jumped from the flying car: Wim, the only son of Sylda. The other party bowed to Hao Ren and them: "Mother sent me to pick up a few guests, she is waiting for you at the spire of the royal quarter." โ
Hao Ren then remembered that it was time to go back, and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, yes, I still have to discuss business with Hilda." Say the number of jรน terminal over there......"
He looked back at the scene of the rift, and the terminal was still lying in the middle of the pile of temporary charging equipment, and the floating island dome above was emitting an even and soft light under the terminal's energy supply, and it was obvious that the guy would not be able to leave for a while.
"You can go ahead first," the voice of the number jรน terminal came from afar, "and after these elves have tossed the spare energy pool, the machine will come to you on its own...... Eh, Mom, don't exhaust yourself to death......"
Hao Ren hurriedly boarded the flying car and left the slut at the scene.
Speeding cars drive over the city, and through the windows on both sides of the car, you can see what the aftermath of the disaster looks like below.
Although the tumbling of the floating island was stopped in time, the shock has already caused great damage to the fragile city on the floating island, which is full of collapsed buildings and bridges, and in the open area you can see huge cracks in the ground, and in some cracks you can even see the mechanical structure and complex pipes that shimmer under the city: the floating island built by the Elim elves is like a living giant creature, with a network of blood vessels and a solid ground that carries the city, Now the island's shell has cracked open, and the complex structures underneath are exposed like internal organs, giving a shocking feeling.
A large number of speeding cars are leaving the royal quarter in the center of the island, and crowds of people can be seen on the ground, which are the civilians of Erim who had taken emergency shelter before, and now that the greatest crisis has passed, they must immediately return to work, rebuild their homes, resume production, repair the land and the equipment beneath it - they have no time to rest, and this fragile country must be maintained in constant maintenance and repair to survive.
The minaret of the Royal District appears in front of the speeding car. (To be continued......)
