Chapter 150: Sealed
I just took a quick look at the water tower, and the connection between the water tower and the factory building below is only a water valve on the side, and the bottom seems to be supported by a steel frame, and there is a short distance between it and the roof platform.
Shen Hao touched the bottom of the water tower, roughly felt the thickness of the tower wall, and then raised the screwdriver, and with a "poof" sound, he stabbed a round hole at the bottom of the hard tower that was not much bigger than chopsticks.
"It works." Pulling out the screwdriver, a faint whirlpool formed above the small hole, Shen Hao nodded, and gave a thumbs up to the few people on the water. Then he went down, waved his screwdriver, and continued to make holes in the floor of the water tower.
The entire inner and outer walls of the water tower are covered with metal, and the center is a reinforced concrete structure, but a small screwdriver, driven by Shen Hao's strange force, is like poking cardboard, a transparent hole.
In order to prevent the water tower floor from completely cracking under the pressure of the water, Shen Hao was also very careful when opening the hole, trying to get as close to the tower wall as possible at the edge, and at least one meter away from each small hole. Although the displacement of a round hole the size of chopsticks is indeed not large, the appearance of dozens of small holes in a row has also caused the water level in the water tower to drop rapidly.
After about ten minutes, the feet of the four of them finally touched the ground, and Xin Suran controlled the light ball for lighting, baking it back and forth on the ground, and finally freed up a relatively dry foothold for everyone. The whole water tower is very well sealed, but there is a trace of cool breeze slowly seeping into the small hole drilled by Shen Hao, and he finally does not worry about lack of oxygen.
However, everyone's clothes are completely soaked, although everyone's physique is different from ordinary people, don't worry about hypothermia, but the wet clothes are somewhat uncomfortable sticking to the body, especially Su Mo and the second daughter, this wet posture is always a little embarrassed when exposed in front of the two big men.
It is not possible to start a fire, after all, in a semi-enclosed environment, the flame will consume not much oxygen. Xin Suran thought about it for a while, and summoned three lighting balls again, one for each person, which could both light and heat.
"Go to sleep, everyone has worked hard today." Shen Hao took a little dry food from his backpack and distributed it to everyone, although he soaked in some water, he could still be satisfied. Originally, he and Su Yue had prepared a lot of food before, but most of it was placed in the trunk of the police car, and the series of thrilling actions just now had no chance to go around the back of the car to open the trunk.
At this point, BM is estimated to have crawled all over the troubled police car, and the food in it is estimated to have gone into the stomachs of those guys. Fortunately, Shen Hao and Su Yue had a backpack with them, maybe now in this city, the only food is in their hands.
The rain outside hadn't stopped, and when I looked at my watch, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the whole city was plunged into the middle of nowhere. I don't know if there are any survivors who can survive tenaciously in this hellish city, but in the face of such a terrible creature, it is estimated that it is only a little surviving.
Xin Suran was indeed exhausted, and he barely used so much magic, and his spiritual power was almost hollowed out. At this moment, she didn't have the energy to tease Mo Chenyan on the side, so she yawned and fell to the ground, falling into a deep sleep. Mo Chenyan is similar, I don't know how many times she has brushed shoulders with death along the way, and she is also haggard, holding a hot little ball of light, and sleeping next to him.
In comparison, Shen Hao and Su Yue's state is slightly better, one is because the body has long been out of the human category, and the other is because he has been under the protection of the other party and has not spent much body. The two of them snuggled against the side wall of the water tower, two warm balls of magical light pressed against them, scorching their damp clothes.
"They're still out there, are they really safe here?" Leaning against the tower wall, hearing the crawling and occasional creaking sound of the BMs outside, Su Yue looked up at Shen Hao with some unease.
"It doesn't matter, the walls here are at least two hundred millimeters thick, and the materials are all metal and concrete that BM doesn't like to eat, as long as we don't make too much noise inside, they should give up after tossing for a while" Shen Hao felt Su Yue's body tremble slightly, and pushed his ball of light to her side. "Don't stay up too late, have a good rest, after dawn, if the heavy rain stops, the BMs in this neighborhood will be wilted, and then we will find a way to leave."
"Yes." Su Yue rested her head on Shen Hao's shoulder and closed her eyes slightly.
Shen Hao leaned against the cold tower wall, but there was an irrepressible restlessness in his heart, in order to suppress the tyrannical devouring ** in his body, more than seventy percent of his strength was contained, and he could not act as unscrupulously in this nightmare realm as in the past. Although he has always been light-hearted, in fact, the power he can call on at this moment is not even as good as Su Yue beside him.
This time, the method of the demon is indeed very terrifying, it is completely a posture of killing all the people without leaving a living mouth, but Shen Hao's purpose this time is not only to leave alive, but to find a way to kill the hidden demon behind it, such a difficulty is really a little desperate, and the main thing is that now in such a shape, there is no way to start, the ghost only knows where the cunning and cruel demon is hiding, and how can he get close to its side.
Thinking too much, his head hurt a little, he yawned, and gradually fell asleep.
This night, the four of them didn't rest well, and around four o'clock in the morning, they woke up one after another. In fact, all four of them were woken up by the heat, and the temperature in this semi-sealed water tower has been rising since I don't know when. The soaked clothes on the four of them had long been smoked, but they were soaked with sweat for a while.
"How can this be, even if you use a lighting light ball to keep warm, but the temperature here is rising too fast" Shen Hao took off his coat and wiped the sweat on his forehead, the lighting light ball of the four people had risen to the top of the water tower under Xin Suran's control, but the temperature around them was still slowly rising, "The temperature here is at least more than 45C, but it shouldn't be dawn yet." ”
"The rain outside seems to have stopped" Su Yue put her ear to the wall of the tower and listened carefully, the noise outside before had indeed disappeared for a while, and the silence was a little abnormal. She and Mo Chenyan also took off their coats and only wore close-fitting single clothes, but they were also soaked with sweat at this time, and the translucent shirts were tightly attached to the skin, setting off their delicate bodies even more exquisitely.
However, neither of the two men present at the moment was in the mood to enjoy this beauty. Xin Suran also pressed his ears against the tower wall, and the expression on his face was indeed very strict. After a few moments, he suddenly said, "It's a bee's tactic."
"Bees?" Mo Chenyan asked while fanning herself with her hand.
"Bees, everyone knows, I don't know if you've heard of the wasps?" Xin Suran sat back in place, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks, and explained lightly, "The bearded wasps are many times larger than bees, and they will often attack bee nests and snatch bee larvae for food. Bees are no match for the big wasps in size, but they have another way to kill their enemies. ”
"When encountering a wasp, a large number of worker bees will swarm up and wrap the wasp tightly with their bodies, and then they will shake their wings together to raise their body temperature, and then use their body temperature to roast the wasp alive," Xin Suran paused, and then said, "Now, the BM attached to this water tower is many times that of bees, and the four of us who are unlucky are probably the poor wasps." ”
"It seems so." Shen Hao squatted on the ground and reached for the small hole he had drilled before, the slightest cool breeze that had been poured in before had disappeared at this moment, and if it went on like this, the oxygen in this sealed water tower would become less and less, and once it was exhausted, even with the physique of the four of them, it would not last too long.
"How's your mental strength going?" Shen Hao raised his head and asked Xin Suran, now among the four people, he is the strongest in combat power, and in this case, only by using magic can he win a glimmer of life.
"It's less than half, but it's okay to barely release a little magic or two." Xin Suran stood up on his knees, and then pulled out the magical quill from his arms, "Everyone sit in the center and try to crowd a little bit, so that I can also save some mental energy." ”
As he spoke, he first drew a six-pointed star circle in the position where the three of them were sitting, as he said, the size of this circle was worthy of four people, and almost no space was wasted.
The next amount of work is much larger, on the entire bottom plate of the water tower, dense magic spells like tadpoles are outlined one after another, Xin Suran while sketching, while wiping the sweat beads on his face, on the one hand, the temperature here is close to 50C, on the other hand, drawing such a large magic array is indeed a rather energy-consuming thing.
I slept for a few hours last night, but the mental power that was consumed before was not completely replenished, and now he is gritting his teeth and holding on, after all, everyone's vitality is pinned on him at this moment.
After more than half an hour, the construction of this large magic array was completed. When Xin Suran outlined the last rune in a corner, the entire magic array flickered suddenly, and it seemed that a faint blue halo circulated around all the magic circuits at an extremely fast speed.
