Chapter 274: The Death Cube

A long-awaited update. Recently, there have been a lot of worries about steamed buns, a bit of Kavin. The main outline has already been available, and the eunuchs can't do it, so don't worry.

........................................................................................... The long-lost dividing line.........................................................................................................

"The second phase of the deworming operation, begins!"

The deworming operation is the code name for this operation. The "worm" among them is naturally the seducer.

With an order, several drones that had been hovering high above the strike area opened the bomb compartment in the belly of the aircraft at the same time, but what fell from it was not the usual bombs, but a boxy gray-black cube.

The cubes, which are one meter long and one meter wide, appear to be a single piece, but if you look closely, you will see that the cubes are covered with neat vertical and horizontal lines, like a Rubik's cube painted with all sides painted in one color.

The cubes were dropped from the drone and then fell rapidly, disintegrating into small cubes ten centimeters long and ten centimeters wide at a distance of 10 centimeters from the ground, and exploded under some internal force. Then, under the action of inertia and gravity, the small cube fell to the ground in relative dispersion.

The entire twenty large cubes, after disintegrating into small cubes, covered an area of several square kilometers including where the awakened beast was located, and naturally covered the hiding place of Duke.

And the small cubes stopped moving when they hit the ground, as if they were dropped purely to smash people. In fact, it's not that it's not moving, it's just that it's so small that it's negligible. These little cubes have been releasing a gas, or a substance, since they hit the ground. This substance is released directly from the nanoscale pores that fill the surface of the cube and spreads rapidly through the air.

This substance disperses in the air in a peculiar way, not mixing with the air and then drifting away with the air flow like ordinary gases or substances, but directly binding to nitrogen molecules in the air and quickly "infecting" the surrounding air like a virus.

Due to this molecular binding property, mixtures of special gaseous substances are also physically different from ordinary gas mixtures. Ordinary gas is mixed with a certain amount of air, and the resulting gas mixture will definitely increase in volume and mass due to the addition of gas. But this special gaseous substance is mixed into the air, as long as it does not exceed a certain amount, it is completely "absorbed" by the air, like a sponge absorbing water, the volume of the mixed air does not change, only the mass increases.

The colorless, odorless, and invisible special gaseous substances quietly spread in the air, and it is precisely because of this dispersion method that it combines with nitrogen molecules that it spreads extremely quickly. In just a few seconds, it enveloped all the space within a few square kilometers of the area where the Awakened Beast and Duke were located were about ten meters below the ground.

Those with keen senses may notice that the air seems to be getting a little thicker. It's just that the air can still breathe normally, and I'm afraid it's hard to detect the abnormality without special instruments.

Duke's telekinetic wall can completely block the air, but he usually doesn't do that unless he falls into the water, because he also has to breathe and can't let his own wall suffocate him. So he inhaled air mixed with a special substance. Of course, Duke didn't notice anything unusual in the air, but because he couldn't understand the effect of the small cubes falling from the sky, he was suspicious, and his breathing was a little short.

In the Mingquan Combat Command, the red color on the large screen representing the spread range of the special substance has completely covered the location of the Awakened Beast and the location of the lure before the bombing.

"Detonate."

With an order, the staff in front of the console pressed the detonation button.

At the same time, those small cubes that were a hundred kilometers away exploded in unison. The explosive power of the small cubes is not strong, and their explosion instantly detonates the air. In the space of 0/1 second, several square kilometers of air where the special substance is diffused exploded like a ********.

Hiding in the rubble, Duke was engulfed in flames before he could react, and the burning air entered his lungs along his nostrils, igniting the air in his lungs, and the pressure that had nowhere to vent exploded his chest cavity from the inside.

If there's anything to be thankful for, it's that Duke's physical strength is relatively low. It was precisely because of his own low physical strength that he had no time to feel the pain before he burst his chest and died, and then his body was carbonized by high temperatures.

The explosion came and went quickly, and after the explosion was over, air poured in from all directions, filling the vacuum area caused by the explosion. The ground burned by the heat still had red melt marks in many places, and they slowly emitted heat into the air, a sign of what had happened here.

This weapon is a new weapon developed by Mingquan based on the concept of Cloud Burst Bomb, and it is characterized by extreme damage, and no creature within the attack range will be spared. Because there is no grass everywhere it goes, everything is burned to ashes, and all living beings are extinct, so it is named - Burning Cube. However, it has a more apt name, the Reaper Cube. This is a true Grim Reaper, capable of harvesting all life within range in an instant, but there are always exceptions...

As expected, the Awakened Beast was still alive, and this time it didn't vent its spewing skills, but just roared twice and left the explosion area. It doesn't seem like it has much excess energy to waste either.

Mingquan quickly confirmed the seducer's death, which was expected. As long as it can pant, it is almost impossible to survive the attack of the Incineration Cube without defense

In other words, if you understand the attack principle of the Incineration Cube and take precautions against it, you still have a chance to survive its attack.

Take Duke as an example, if he is on guard, and the moment he sees the incineration cube falling, he completely wraps himself with the telekinetic defense wall to isolate the outside air, and the air inside the defense wall is enough for him to hold on for a few minutes until the explosion is over, then... He's going to die even worse! Because he will be roasted alive in the heat.

The correct thing to do is to use the telekinesis to block the air from the wall and bury yourself in the ground, so that nothing goes wrong. In fact, as long as you can hold your breath, you don't have telekinetic defense, and it's no problem to bury it deep enough.

The seducer is gone, so there is no need to worry about the Awakened Beast attacking Mingquan for the time being. But the distance of more than 100 kilometers is still too short, and it is not good that the awakened beast will be in a good mood and can walk to Mingquan one day. So the next headache is how to lure it away or kill it.

The problem of the Awakened Beast obviously didn't have to worry about Li Gang, he was concentrating on cultivating the Soul Secret Technique. As for the cultivation of the secret technique of the power control chapter, it was temporarily placed in second place. Because the healing hole in his chest was a constant reminder of how lacking he was in the face of mental attacks. He was also very glad that the hole was opened in the chest this time, and if it was the head, he would really explain it.

If it weren't for the fact that the mind was trapped in the illusion by the spiritual evolutionary, how could it be so dangerous. In order to avoid this from happening again, the cultivation of the soul chapter must be put in the first place.

Fortunately, after the breakthrough incident a few days ago, Li Gang's soul transformation has become even stronger, and his cultivation of the soul chapter is not as difficult as before, and the results are gratifying.

Liu Shanshan is not idle, because it is now the period of avoiding the limelight, she can only stay in the hotel room most of the time, but through the contact with her sister Liu Jiao, she has obtained a lot of information, including awakening beasts, insect repellent operations, and about her and Li Gang. Judging from the information obtained, the attention of her and Li Gang has now dropped to very low, low to almost none. After all, the main culprit Li Gang has been confirmed dead, and as an accomplice, she has also deliberately reduced her attention for some reasons.

Thousands of miles away, the Minister of the Shadow of the World Asia distribution, Gu Luolasi, had a gloomy face: "Useless things can still be killed by technological weapons!"

Naturally, it was the unlucky Duke who made him so angry, the newcomer of the Grim Reaper, but now it is useless to get on fire, everyone is dead, and there is nowhere to vent if he is angry. The only people who suffered his wrath here were a few people at the conference table and a few stereoscopic images.

"Unbounded, you go and finish the job, don't let me down, you know the price to disappoint!"

"Understood." An image on the conference table with a gloomy expression and no eyebrows disappeared in response.

Although Mingquan has temporarily gotten rid of the threat of the Awakened Beast, his research on it has not stopped for a moment. I've only heard of this kind of thing before, and it's a bit like a legend, and there aren't even a few images except for ominous information. However, it was such a thing that resembled an urban weird story, and it suddenly appeared like this, and it was artificially attracted. This alone had to admire the ability of the Shadow of the World, and it could be seen that they had already studied the Awakened Beast.

What the hell is an awakened beast? It's not about any one specifically, but what the category of Awakened Beasts is is asking here.

In this regard, due to the lack of information and samples, the academic community has different views. The more widely accepted view is that the Awakened Beast is an evolved form after the advanced level of the Mutant Beast, and the name "Awakened Beast" may also have a meaning in it. Of course, maybe the person who came up with the name was just making it up. Because its provenance is no longer verifiable, it is itself a rumor.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is no accepted definition of Awakened Beast at all, because no one can say clearly what Awakened Beasts are and what common characteristics they have. This requires a certain number of samples to be cross-sectionally compared to be determined, and apparently there are not that many samples now.

As for Mingquan's belief that this thunderous beast was an awakened beast, guessing accounted for most of it. First of all, it is definitely not an apocalyptic beast, because the apocalyptic beast is all recorded, and its characteristics and activity areas are determined, and they are all in its own radiation area. Secondly, it is not a mutant beast, because it is not on the same level as even the strongest high-level mutant beast that has been discovered, and it is not much better than the apocalyptic beast. Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that it should be the legendary Awakened Beast.

In fact, it doesn't matter what the thunder beast that was attracted to Mingquan is or what it is called, it's just a name, the important thing is that it does have the ability to severely damage or destroy Mingquan. If Mingquan can successfully solve it and eliminate this threat, even if it is called "Lao Wang's lightning puppy", why not.
