After consulting with everyone, Tianxuan decided not to take down the five trench ronins, but quietly left the factory and continued to head towards the source of the waterway.

After withdrawing from the factory, Bai Lijun walked over and asked, "Captain, are we going to let those 5 trench ronins go like this?" ”

"Yes, there is no way around it. If we take down these 5 trench ronins now, it will definitely startle the snake, and I don't think we will have to explore this city in the future. Hercules said solemnly.

"What will happen then?" Bai Lijun continued to ask.

Hercules cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I told you what will happen, we will be completely killed by the enemy here, so naturally there is no need to investigate." ”

Hercules' ridicule made everyone laugh and cry. Seeing this, Tianxuan hurriedly walked over to play a round game: "Okay, don't play tricks here, hurry up!" ”

On the way up the waterway, Tengen discovers that there are many factories, but they are not as large as the nuclear plant, and each plant has a huge pipe connecting to the waterway. If you look closely, the seawater in the back channel flows down a huge pipe into a nearby factory.

Although Tianxuan was very curious about these small factories, he resisted the urge and led the reconnaissance team to move forward step by step.

However, when they came to the vicinity of the first small factory, a burst of screams reached Tianxuan's ears. So, he raised his arm and ordered the troops to stop for a while.

"Hercules, do you hear anything?"

"I hear you. Since you've decided to check it out, I'm not against it. That voice must have come from us Mayans. Hercules said with a serious expression.

Not only Hercules agreed, but the members of the reconnaissance team also believed that the screams of their compatriots should not be ignored. So, Tianxuan led the team to turn around and quietly approached the nearby factory that was screaming.

After entering the factory, the reconnaissance team found that the seawater in the waterway flowed into a large pool through the pipes, and at this time, a group of naked Mayans were carrying a large bag of things to and from the pool one after another, and several trench ronins were standing next to them with electric whips.

"What are they doing?" Tianxuan thought to himself. In order to see what these people were doing, he ordered all the team members to ambush outside the factory, and only two people infiltrated with Hercules.

Then, Tianxuan and Hercules bent over and crept into the factory. They hid behind a large pump near the pool and stood back to back. Then, the two of them observed the movements of the Maya group from both sides. As they got closer, they realized that the Mayans' eyes were all shining blue, and it was clear that they were already poisoned.

I saw these poisoned people pour many triangular red stones into the pool from the large bag. Then, a gate appears in the pool and divides the pool in two. The pool of redstone began to bubble up after a few seconds, and some pale blue gas drifted out with it. In this way, this state lasts for about 10 minutes, and when the sea water in the pool drops to a certain level, it no longer produces bubbles and gases.

"What are they doing with redstone in a pool?" Hercules asked with a frown, confused.

Tianxuan blinked his eyes and told him, "They are electrolyzing seawater and extracting heavy water from it. ”

"What? Heavy water is extracted in this way. Hercules was surprised.

"That's right, because heavy water can't be electrolyzed, so it can be separated from ordinary water." Tianxuan looked at the heavy water in the pool and explained, "From the water level in their pool, it can be seen that the heavy water production after electrolysis is still quite high. ”

Hearing this, Hercules flipped it up, recalled, and said, "I remember, the sea near Lanmian City contains quite a lot of heavy water. ”

"Really? Where does this sea water come from? Tianxuan asked with wide eyes.

"Well, this is seawater that has leaked down from the trench buffer zone." Hercules said.

"So?" Tianxuan rubbed his lower lip with his fingers, and then suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "The sea water here may be the sea water leaking from the trench buffer zone. ”

"How is that possible? There was no buffer at all. Hercules wondered.

A treacherous smile appeared at the corner of Tianxuan's mouth: "Not necessarily! ”

"How?"

"Now that the city is completely out of sight, the buffer zone must have been hidden." Saying this, the corners of Tianxuan's mouth rose slightly, and he was very proud that he had seen through the trick of the trench ronin.

Hearing this, Hercules' eyes widened and he said, "No! How far away is it from the streamer? ”

Tianxuan stretched out his index finger and shook it and said, "Don't rush to conclusions, maybe that's the case." ”

Hercules shook his head in disapproval, but he didn't argue either.

At this time, I saw that the pool with heavy water opened a gap, and all the heavy water in the pool flowed out in one direction. Then, the gap is closed, the gates are opened, and the two pools become one, and seawater continues to pour into the pools.

Seeing this, Tianxuan patted Hercules' arm and whispered, "Let's go to the front and see where the heavy water is going!" ”

"Hmm!"

Then, the two of them sneaked up on the other side under the noses of the group of poisoners and trench ronins. Then, the two living treasures came to the outlet of the heavy water.

At this time, I saw a conveyor belt with a 15° inclination at the outlet, and the heavy water flowed along this conveyor belt to the distance. So, they spent about half an hour along the conveyor belt, dodging all the way to the end.

At the end of the conveyor belt, there is a huge tower divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Heavy water flows into the upper level of the tower; In the middle layer, some soft-looking yellow substances are constantly pushed in, which should have some kind of reaction with heavy water; The lower layer constantly emits mist, and then at a point connected to the exit of the conveyor belt, a thumb-sized block of ice comes out.

Just when Tianxuan and the others were wondering what this tower was producing, a blue trench ronin wearing a cloak came to the mouth of the ice block with more than twenty blue-black trench ronin.

Seeing the arrival of the trench ronin wearing a cloak, two poisoned people hurriedly ran over, held the ice cubes in both hands, and said respectfully: "Please take a look!" ”

"Hehehe!" The cloaked trench ronin smiled wickedly and took a block of ice for his men.

Then, the unthinkable happened: when the blue-black trench ronin ate the ice, his body immediately changed, and after about five minutes, some of it turned blue.

Just as Tengen and Hercules were shocked, the cloaked trench ronin kicked one of the poisoners to the ground and shouted, "A bunch of waste, until now, can't make a decent neutralizer." ”

The poisoner who was kicked and the other poisoned person knelt at the feet of the cloaked trench ronin after being scolded, and explained in a panic: "Lord Dimo, I'm really sorry, we've done our best. It's just that the resources and facilities here are too scarce. If we can obtain high-purity heavy water directly from Power City, we will definitely be able to make a better neutralizer to ......"

Hearing this, Di Mo glared angrily and glanced at his subordinates. Then, a blue-black trench ronin beside him stretched out its sharp claws and flashed past the two kneeling poisoners with a "whoosh". In the blink of an eye, the expressions of the two poisoned men began to stiffen, and their eyes gradually lost their light, and they just knelt there upright.

A few seconds later, Di Mo raised his foot and kicked the two poisoned people to the ground twice, and scolded: "You guys are simply looking for death, and you actually mention the matter of Power City." It's okay not to say it, but I'll be angry when I say it. It's you Mayan waste, you can't even take a city, and you still make us lose our troops and ......"

After scolding, Di Mo foamed at the poisoned man who fell to the ground, and then turned to leave, and said to his subordinates: "Let's go and find the master here to train him well." ”

Seeing this, Hercules hiding behind the bunker trembled, grabbed part of the bunker with one hand, clenched the other hand tightly into a fist, and his teeth protruded to bite his lip fiercely, at this time he was already angry.

Seeing Hercules' appearance, Tianxuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed his arm, until Di Mo walked away, and then whispered: "Hercules, I know that you feel uncomfortable when you see your compatriots being ravaged, but if you rush out, you can only kill these bastards at most, and you won't solve any problems." ”

Hercules trembled violently again, then his body returned to calm, and after taking a few big breaths, he said coldly to Tianxuan, "I understand, so I clung to the cover." If I really want to rush out, you can't stop me. ”

"I believe," Tianxuan replied calmly.

Hercules sighed again and said, "Thank you, though! ”

The corners of Tianxuan's mouth rose slightly: "You're welcome." Who are we with whom! ”

Then, after glancing around, Hercules said, "Shall we retreat or follow?" ”

Tianxuan closed his eyes, smiled calmly and said, "Of course it's to follow." Since you're here, how can you do it without investigating it? ”

"Good!"

After saying that, the two of them quietly followed behind Di Mo and came to a place full of holographic projection consoles.
