Chapter 71: What's the Matter?

The Flying Shark drove the truck out of Bianliang and came to the original site of the vine palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the help of the vehicle-mounted intelligent Lao Ding, the vehicle-mounted metal detector, and two improvised dexterous robotic arms, the contractors easily retrieved the scattered gold bricks that had been thrown around by the blast wave. Ten tons of gold, only fifty kilograms were not recovered.

The meteorite jumped over the wall and entered the palace overnight, met Qin Zong, and told him that Xuanwu Zhenjun sent out a demon god thunder from the heavenly realm, and the monster was gone.

Chin Zong was overjoyed and sent several waves of reconnaissance teams out of the city. After verifying that the demon was dead, Qin Zong excitedly wanted to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and thank Zhenjun.

But the meteorite poured a basin of cold water on him, saying that everything is not okay now, the demon Neidan has not been removed, and Bianliang is still unsettled.

Qin Zong was quite unhappy, and asked rhetorically if the demon was dead, what was a suppressed Neidan!

Meteorite laughed but said nothing, and warned him that all the corpses of trees and vines in the outer city must be burned to prevent the demon from poisoning people, and after saying that, he jumped on the wall and flew away.

When Qin Zong heard the demon poison, he was still scared in his heart. He issued an edict early the next morning, and the whole city was willing to burn the corpses together.

For three days, the city was filled with fires and black plumes of smoke that rose to the sky.

Billowing smoke darkened the already gray sky.

Tearful women, weeping children, howling youths...... The citizens who survived the catastrophe finally woke up from the numbness caused by the huge psychological impact after the mass cremation, and felt their grief and anger again.

No one understands what all this is going on and why it's happening. Aren't monsters and immortals the story of the story? How did it come true?

For three days, the entire Bianliang was oscillating. Earthquakes are very regular, the magnitude and intensity are very low, and ordinary people can only feel a slight shaking. The whole city seems to be placed on a large ship, which is swaying from side to side with the crash of the waves.

This is because Xiao Hei is not a simple vine, it is a source of plane interference, and it is the core. Its disappearance will inevitably be accompanied by the collapse of rules. Luckily, it's only a part of the core, and Midori is still maintaining the stability of the plane.

Some of the sturdy buildings in the inner city collapsed, causing a small number of casualties. Many people even have a seasickness-like reaction and vomit incessantly.

As for the outer city, it is full of ruins, and the citizens have long since stopped caring about anything.

And God's admonition is not groundless.

The envoys sent by the Qin Sect to the Quartet of the Great Song Dynasty rushed out of the city, but they got lost at the edge of the plane and had to return to the city one by one.

The envoy's words and mysterious remarks made Qinzong very angry.

On the third day, he personally led a thousand soldiers of the Forbidden Army into the fog in an attempt to break through the blockade. But in the fog, where no fingers could be seen, the army quickly dispersed.

When Qin Zong walked out of the fog, he was only followed by a few dozen guards, but he was still happy and thought that he had finally made it out of the blockade, but the guards soon discovered that they had only come to the other side of Bianliang.

In desperation, Qinzong marched around the edge of the mist, regathered the fleeing army, and retreated into the city.

For three days, the gods shut themselves up. Qinzong condescended to the noble and personally came to the door to beg the immortals for guidance.

Bing Madness flickered firmly: "As soon as Neidan is removed, the maze will be solved!" ”

Chin Jong had to agree that the gods would move freely in Genyue.

By this time, the small earthquake had come to an end.

The siege has been prolonged, and many families in the city have run out of food. And Bianliang is not short of food. The grain merchants and magnates in the city had a large amount of food stored in their homes, and with the population decline caused by the war and the demon vines, if the rations could be evenly distributed, it would be enough for the whole city to eat for several months.

At the behest of the contractors, Qinzong tightened the barrels of his guns, collected the weapons scattered throughout the city, and rebuilt the forbidden army, which numbered as many as 50,000. The emperor tore off the veil of warmth and affection, and vigorously engaged in the collection of surplus grain and the planned economy.

Subsequently, he organized a large number of engineering teams to arrange for cleaning up the ruins, digging ditches, and rebuilding houses, so that everyone in Bianliang could have work and food, and would never fall into starvation, and many citizens who had no food and clothing would have a way to live.

As a result, Bianliang is stabilizing day by day, and the city is back on track.

The contractors did not act rashly, they were silent for several days, making final preparations for the decisive battle.

First of all, Qin Jing used all means to produce more wilt fungus and "self-cutting inducers" as much as possible. The fungus will multiply naturally, and as long as enough nutrient solution is given, the inducer is much more troublesome.

There are no chemical factories in the plane, and Dr. Qin only has a miniature laboratory. So she injected genetically modified "botulinum toxin" into rabbits, elk, pigs, goats and other mammals, and prepared their intestines as factories.

Bacteria multiply in the intestine and produce non-toxic precursor toxins, and after death and autolysis, the precursor toxins are released and enter the intestine, where they are activated by trypsin in the intestine to obtain toxicity. After that, through a series of separation and extraction, the preparation of this organic chemical agent is completed.

The inducer is not only effective against devil vine, but also highly toxic to mammals. As a nerve agent manufacturing plant, pigs, deer, rabbits, these cute little guys died not a single one, even the meat is highly poisonous, can only be buried and destroyed.

Second, they dug through a network of "little black" vines in the shallow underground. Because it was only ten meters deep, the process was relatively easy, but it still took a lot of effort to finally confirm that "Little Black" had not penetrated the inner city and that the vines had lost signs of life.

Eventually, they resumed monitoring of the deeper network of "little green" vines. Because of the greater depth, it can only be observed by the six-armed recovering ant colony robot drilling extremely tiny holes. Fortunately, "Little Green" doesn't seem to remember the last time he was attacked by ants, and doesn't care about these uninvited miniature invaders.

The Vine Network has not changed since the last reconnaissance. More than half of the size of the large potato was still hidden underwater, and the sphere radiated a dozen thick vines to the outside, burrowing into the rock wall and connecting the vine balls of other underground cavities.

But this increased the contractor's confusion and confusion - Xiao Hei already had the ability to drill underground, why didn't Kong Sanwang let it attack directly from the ground, and had to dig from the ground?

Totally unreasonable!

Unless, Xiao Lu has a combat ability that is not inferior to Xiao Hei, which makes him very jealous and does not dare to launch a full-scale underground war!

It was precisely because he was afraid that he would not be able to beat him, so he had the idea of developing a "self-cutting inducer", and he wanted to kill the opponent's core, the tuber bulb, with a blow from the outside of the plate!

But as a chemical researcher, Kong San forgot how to compare to Qin Jing, a medical doctor! Therefore, he provided Qin Jing with research materials and ideas, just asking Fang Bai to steal a copy when the other party's research was successful!

But since the arrival of the Contractor, Midori has remained silent, oblivious to the war raging overhead. Xiao Hei got on top of his head and was unmoved. The contractors couldn't help but be suspicious.

Suspicion is suspicion, they still decided to follow Kong Sanwang's plan, dig a pit in Genyue, and go straight to Huanglong. Instead of summoning tens of thousands of zombies, the contractor borrowed a group of craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervisor and hired two tomb robbers.

Recruiting tomb robbers is not easy, thanks to Kaifeng Mansion's willingness to help. The officials have the whereabouts of the city fox society rats, and as long as they have the heart, they can find the person they are looking for. It is also because God will be recognized by the general public that things can go so smoothly.

The gods will take craftsmen and tomb robbers, and the Great Lama will drive into the royal garden of Gen Yue.

Zhaojie marked the location of the "Demon Pill" at the foot of Genyue Wanshou Mountain, and supported the craftsmen to dig a pit. From top to bottom, the mouth of the pit gradually narrowed, and when it was dug to a depth of ten meters, there were only two people at the bottom of the pit to operate. That's when it's the thief's turn to show off his skills.

However, the contractors did not need traditional techniques to make a complete hole for theft, as long as they used tools such as the Luoyang shovel to dig out the slender deep hole.

Then, using a must-have technique for tomb robbers in the 21st century, "underground squeezing blasting", the six-armed filled hole with military explosives to blast a one-meter-wide hole. After several consecutive deep holes and blasting, the depth is considerable.

During this period, it was naturally hindered by groundwater. The contractor is not afraid of explosives entering the water, most of the modern explosives are resistant to water, but it is difficult to drill underwater and cannot be done with the rudimentary tools of tomb robbers. Therefore, they instructed the craftsmen to imitate the principles of modern drilling rigs to create a light and easy-to-use drilling machine, and the two tomb robbers also provided many valuable suggestions for this.

The final rig used a large number of modern materials, including transmission belts, gears, motors, etc., which were removed from the truck.

The cave is nearly 80 meters deep, separated only by a thin layer of rock from the underground cavern space of the tuber bulb.

The contractor used the money to send away the tomb robbers and craftsmen who were no longer useful.

The entire royal garden, except for the contractor, was emptied!

When the rig was used up, it was disassembled into parts and loaded back into trucks.

Large drones are loaded with a full set of electrical reconnaissance equipment and parade in the sky.

The ground is filled with various electric potential detection and seismic detection instruments.

The ant colony robot has been waiting in the underground cavern space for a long time, monitoring for any trace of energy fluctuations.

Six Arms was rather cautious, using only a very small charge to carry out a directional blast to penetrate the last barrier.

The eighty-meter-deep hole is already an extremely deep well. The bottom of the well is leaking, and a large amount of well water is pouring down, smashing into the smooth surface of the bulb along with the rubble, will Midori continue to be silent?

The contractors held their breath.

But as expected, as long as there is no real threat, the bulb will not move.

As a result, they obtained an attack passage with a diameter of one meter and a depth of eighty meters.

The contractor put on a full set of biohazard suits and poured the blight fungus pus full of three large wooden barrels first! The taste of this kind of weapon, Xiao Hei has tasted it before, and Xiao Lu is still the first time. What kind of effect can be produced, everyone is quite excited.

The attack of the fungus is silent and slow.

At this time, the second wave of attacks is ready.

More than a dozen small drones carrying more than a dozen "self-cutting inducer bombs" descended into the cave. The ant colony had already scanned the internal structure of the vine's trunk with millimeter-wave detection, and confirmed the location of the joint-like "sacs" in the vine's trunk that all the large potatoes protruded. They are about seven to eight meters from the bulbous surface and close to the rock wall.

Although some of the vines are located underwater, they do not have the slightest effect on the attack. Whether it is wilt pus or self-cutting inducer, they are all soluble in water and will not be ineffective.

Six arms and flying sharks operated drones together to get close to these sacs, and with the order of the meteorite, they all exploded!

Small UAVs are cheap, and as long as they can complete the task, even if they blow up a hundred or a thousand, the contractor will not feel distressed.

The pale yellow mist instantly enveloped the entire underground space, and there was a tendency to spread upwards along the thief hole.

The contractor couldn't see what was going on below, only the sound of rushing water. The ant colony robot sent an unclear image, the big potato was shaking violently, and the vines sticking out were twisting wildly!

More than ten seconds later, countless arcs lit up, and thunderbolts surged in the poisonous mist!

The monitoring ant colony in the bulb space is completely wiped out!

The loss of control of the big potatoes didn't end there. The fog gradually dissipated, the arc became brighter and brighter, and a pillar of light pierced the dark sky along the thief hole, as if a powerful searchlight had appeared underground!

Zhaojie's face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted: "The amplitude of the stepping voltage is increasing rapidly!" ”

The contractors, all of whom had been through a lot of battles, certainly understood what the stride voltage meant, and immediately stood on one foot, quickly turned around, and jumped away from the mouth of the pit.

All the way back, Zhaojie constantly reported the voltage data.

Behind them, the electronic instruments inserted into the ground also exploded one after another, and a large number of domesticated elk, rabbits, cranes and other animals around Wanshou Mountain were electrocuted to death. The aroma of barbecued meat fills the air.

The contractor retreated until a kilometer away, and then moved away from the step voltage zone. Everyone was speechless in the public channel, and Big Potato's death-defying fight was indeed amazing!

The ant colonies in more than 400 underground spaces in the inner city of Bianliang and the outer city sent back reports that the vine balls, vines, and tentacles had all lost signs of life!

After ten minutes, the pillar of light gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared completely. The contractor confirmed that it was safe before slowly approaching.

Zhaojie throws out the last small drone, carrying a light, a camera, and his bracelet. The small plane burrows into the hole and sends back the image.

The poisonous fog in the robbed caverns and underground space has completely dissipated.

The vines all broke from it, leaving only a few dangling stubbles on the bulb surface.

The pores in the rock wall connecting to the rest of the underground space are all blocked by swelling half-cut vines, ensuring perfect water tightness.

The most striking thing is that the water level in the underground space has dropped to the point where it can only be shallow beyond the instep of a person's foot. And the bulb has become larger, and the diameter has increased by at least ten meters!

In other words, the tuber bulbs absorb all the groundwater that dissolves in mycotoxins and nerve agents into their bodies!

Six Arms rejoiced, "What else do you say smart!" This thing is so stupid! ”

"It's not necessarily stupid," Qin Jing shook his head, "I've been thinking about what the Devil Vine is these days. Kong Sanyu knew more than us, and Fang Bai seemed to know a little, but he didn't tell us. To be sure, they are man-made products, not natural products.

Xiao Hei may be a combat tool, I don't dare to know everything about the purpose of Xiao Green, but it definitely has the function of purifying groundwater! ”

"You mean, in order to save the creatures of Bianliang, Xiao Lu took the initiative to absorb toxins and purify the groundwater?" Meteorite asked with interest.

"Perhaps, who's right? The introduction of fungi and toxins is likely to cause total pollution of groundwater systems and irreversible environmental damage. To accomplish the task, we pretend not to see these risks. As a result, the toxins were actively absorbed by the large potatoes...... It's a bit of an irony! ”

"What now?" Zhaojie asked, "Do you want to throw a big bomb down?" Solve the problem all at once? ”

"No need!" Qin Jing pointed to the tablet in his hand, "Look at the image sent by the drone, black lines have appeared on the surface of the bulb!" The texture is getting thicker and thicker......"

After an hour, the black veins turned into large patches of black color, and a foul smell poured out of the thief hole.

"Midori is finished!" Zhaojie didn't know whether it was easy or regretful, and sighed, this time the mission was really over.

The contractors stood at the mouth of the pit, observing the changes in the bulbs, and waited until the next morning, when the original pale green bulbs were completely black.

At this time, the Qin Sect sent an inner servant to ask if the demon pill had been eliminated.

Ice madness told him, "The Demon Pill has been severely damaged, the Demon Poison is eating the Demon Pill, and the gods are waiting for the last moment to completely destroy it." Ordinary people are better off not approaching. ”

The envoy asked again, "Yesterday, the treasure of Wanshou Mountain soared into the sky, is it the qi of the demon pill?" ”

As soon as Bing Mad heard what treasure light, he knew that Qin Zong was greedy. He didn't correct it, and stuffed a flashlight into the waiter, "It's not a demon pill!" This is the thing that emits precious light, take it! ”

After learning to turn on and off the flashlight, the chamberlain asked, "Why is this light not as bright as yesterday?" ”

"This treasure was damaged yesterday against the demon pill, you take it to the emperor to carry with you, and infiltrate it with dragon qi for ten years and eight years, and you will definitely be able to restore the old view!"

The chamberlain did not suspect that there was a fake, and went happily.

The contractor waited until noon, when the surface of the bulb suddenly faded sharply. From a black ball to a white ball in ten minutes.

The contractors were shocked, thinking that the fungal attack had been defused. The meteorite almost ordered to stuff all the bombs in the truck's arsenal!

But Qin Jing was very calm and stopped his teammates who were on the verge of going berserk.

She asked the six-armed control ant colony robot to test the white balls, and the results were unexpected. The surface of the bulb is as soft as a cake and can be easily bitten through by ants' mouthparts.

What made everyone even more relieved was that the bracelet that detected the source of interference originally emitted a bright red light next to the bulb, but now only a faint pink remained.

There is no doubt that Midori is weakening.

Subsequently, the surface of the white bulb begins to seep water, and the diameter of the bulb rapidly decreases. The drone retrieved the seepage sample, and Qin Jing tested it on the spot.

"Non-toxic, non-polluting, pure water!" She said.

Everyone has to believe that Xiaolu really has the function of purifying water.

Half an hour later, the bulb was already less than thirty meters in diameter!

The water in the underground space submerged most of the bulb's volume.

The top of the bulb, which has not yet been flooded, suddenly opens like a flower, revealing a hole with a diameter of less than one meter inside, which leads to the center of the ball!

The hole was like an electromagnetic cannon, countless electric lights lit up in the barrel, and a black cannonball was ejected!

The cannonball accurately passed through the straight thief hole, drilled out of the hole, and flew into the sky, straight up to a thousand meters out of thin air!

When its strength is exhausted, it falls straight again, and the white robe bends its bow and shoots out the rope net! The rope net dragged the shell off trajectory and avoided falling back into place.

The contractor rushed to the landing point and found that the black ball cannonball was about half a meter in diameter and emitted an endless stench.

They instantly understood that it was the bulbs that absorbed and condensed all the toxins into a ball and launched them!

Is this ejected black ball cannonball shell the original core of the bulb? Or is it just a condensation nucleus as a toxin?

The bracelet detects, and the black ball does not have any interference source reaction.

However, the white balls in the underground space also lost their interference source response. Or rather, he lost all vital reactions, and the barrels on the tuber bulbs did not close again.

It seems that regardless of whether the black ball cannonball shell is the core or not, Midori is already dead.

The contractor removed the reconnaissance equipment.

The meteorite hangs a long rope of high strength in the cave and descends to the bottom of the cave.

He plucked several high-explosive grenades from his body, set them to detonate them at the same time for a minute, threw them into the barrel of the bulb, and climbed back onto the ground.

With a loud bang, the ground began to shake. A few grenades aren't that powerful.

But if you take out a plane core, you don't have the luxury of hoping for peace again.

This time the earthquake was extremely strong. The calm earth turned into a sea of hurricanes, and the water swelled and shook, and people seemed to be on a flat boat, unable to stand on their feet.

The earthquake lasted for more than 10 minutes at the same intensity for an unprecedented time! No sturdier palace can withstand such destruction. Countless houses collapsed one after another, and tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of citizens were crushed to death by brick walls.

Ten minutes later, there was no longer a building in Bianliang that could be called a house. The surface of the ground is crisscrossed with ravines, as if God had carved the scars of the city. Most of the ravines were several meters wide and dozens of meters deep, and a large number of houses and citizens fell into them and died.

Even the contractor's truck was almost killed and fell into the abyss, but thanks to the amazing driving skills of the Flying Shark, it was spared.

When the earthquake stopped, the meteorite climbed the mountain of Wanshou Mountain, which was only a few tens of meters high, and looked at the devastated city in silence.

What is all this for?

Eliminate the source of interference! Eliminate disasters in advance!

However, knowing that the information of this plane is inevitable, is it too pedantic or even cruel to insist on the mission?

How many of these citizens can hold out to the end of the information coverage? Arrived on Earth alive?

And how innocent are the lives on Earth that are about to be wiped out by the information overlay!

Maybe Kong Sanwu has a way to bring this plane to Mars, but he wants to kill all the citizens of Bianliang!

It's too late to regret it now, right? Kong San forgot that he was dead, and no one knew how to manipulate the flow of the plane.

Missions, all tasks! How many people died for their mission!

Qin Jing climbed to the top of the mountain, stood next to the meteorite, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly: "All the sources of interference have been eliminated, the plane has lost its core, and the deterioration of the rules will only get worse and worse, and the earthquake is still easy to deal with...... Not knowing what danger is next, we have to go. ”

The meteorite let out an "um" and walked down the hill to the truck.

He turned on the public channel and issued an order to the squad: "All pack your bags, start loading, and get ready to get on the bus!" Flying Shark, activate the anchor! ”

The Flying Shark responded: "The anchor has been activated!"

Spatial location information has been sent!

Wait for the Earth Handshake Signal!

Estimated return time: One hour! ”
