Chapter 149: Ice Fishing (Part II)

“…… According to reliable sources, the negotiations between the League and the Cavalry have entered the most critical moment. Rasmussen privately said that he would visit Wèn Icarus in person in the near future, and this was the first time that the first Privy Council President said that he would make an official visit to Wèn Icarus. According to the analysis of relevant sources, the reason why the alliance did not immediately retaliate against the Paris incident was because it wanted to complete the years-long marathon talks with the cavalry first, and it is clear that the attack in Paris contributed to the end of this meeting......"

"You mean electricity?"

"That's right."

Rarely, from a technical level, Ling Yu guessed what Jiesi was hinting at, and he nodded, leaving the right to speak to the other party.

"According to what we know so far, prehistoric civilizations did not have the problem of zài energy, and when they carried out tens of thousands of years of sub-light exploration voyages, there was no 'fuel' in the replenishment materials or anything like that, so we guess that they must have a way to obtain 'inexhaustible' energy in the human sense, and there must be more than one such energy supply system, such as solar panels in the star system...... Of course, the most optimistic estimate is that the other side even has the technology of the Dyson ball, but there is still a lot of controversy in this regard. ”

"Don't say a word about science, thank you." Ling Yu scratched his head, "What I care about now is this dress. ”

"Ahem, let's get down to business, according to the analysis of almost a month, the Knights have basically overcome the technical difficulties of this dress, and you won't feel it alive when you wear it. It is also very simple to supply energy in a special suitcase to supply the necessary metal elements, and when used it is to use fusion batteries and microcomputers for basic control, and for photosynthesis, the metal box can also provide simulated light. Jiesi clasped her hands in front of her chest, trying to create an illusion for Ling Yu that "this technology is very mature", "In short, after all, it's just an onion, you don't have to think that it has a high intelligence." ”

"Okay......" Ling Yu sighed and shook his head. In his bones, he doesn't want to be a guinea pig. But it was hard to resist the temptation of the strong defensive power brought by the clothes - how strong this thing was, the last time he and Jesse experienced it almost with their lives.

"What do you say is the problem with mass production? Said before. ”

Ling Yu had one last question, now that the two of them had stopped, they might as well ask it clearly.

"The problem is still in the neurons. We can't replicate neurons. There's no way to cut a tentacle here every time you make a piece. Jeuncy shrugged helplessly. Without neurons, there is no way to control cell regeneration, even if we nurture many of these cells. In essence, they are still things that harden after one hit, and they don't have much advantage over the bulletproof equipment in active service in the Alliance. ”

"But don't be discouraged, if the technology is a little more mature, it can still be used as a good invisible body armor," but Jess quickly recovered, and then smiled again, "It can be distributed to plainclothes police, agents and important people and the like, after all, they are soft close-fitting sportswear before being shot, and this advantage is still there, so maybe the president will wear this kind of body armor in the future." ”

"And there are no royalties." Ling Yu looked at the jumping Jiesi, and said half-jokingly, what kind of patent fee does this kind of thing say, and it is impossible to tell the way when it is examined, not to mention that from the perspective of importance, it must obviously be "the property of all mankind".

Of course, this "all of humanity" does not include the ACA.

"Okay, we're almost rested, what's next?" Ling Yu looked around, there was nothing unusual here, it was the same corridor that he had walked through for more than ten minutes before.

"I detected active cells here," Jiesi stretched out her hand, Ling Yu followed her fingertips, and saw that above their right side, about twenty meters high, the spray that had been blue turned red, "That guy is not far from here, according to our tests, the cells will die after 150 meters or twenty minutes away from the body." ”

"So, it's nearby?" Ling Yu picked up his pistol and looked around warily, he was thinking more about safety.

"Let's go up first, we're going to crawl in the ventilation pipe this time."

Jesse raised her hand, and the steel needle on the back of her hand accelerated in three seconds of the magnetic rail, directly piercing the wall next to the vent, and then pulled the girl's body up.

Ling Yu seemed to be a little unbelieving, he took out the shimmering dagger in his left hand, did not turn on the high temperature, and used seven points of force to poke violently at the wall next to him, and the smooth metal plate directly cut Ling Yu's dagger, leaving only a shallow scratch.

"A. Lange & Söhne, I remember." After putting the dagger back on his waist, Ling Yu shook his head helplessly, glanced at the grappling hook in his right hand, and raised his hand to climb the wall with Jiesi's movements.

"I'll go in first, boss."

When Ling Yu climbed up, Jiesi had already completed the cutting of the fan blades, unlike the previous vent, the room behind this vent did not have an airlock function, and the metal materials used were naturally relatively fragile.

"I'll do it first."

Ling Yu shook his head, and then suddenly remembered something, "We're just swaggering in?" ”

"Of course not," Jiesi pulled out a slender cable-like object from her back again, "The electromagnetic environment here is too complicated, so I didn't bring a drone, but I still have a wired probe." ”

"You will be a good wife in the future."

Ling Yu took the fiber optic cable, smiled lightly, and then directly drilled into the vent.

But he didn't notice that when Jeunse heard this, there was only sadness in her eyes.

***

"So, is this guy taking over this room?"

Ling Yu looked at the signal transmitted by the wired probe, and at the same time looked at Jiesi directly opposite him—the narrow ventilation duct was obviously not enough for two people to face each other, but this ventilation duct was also perpendicular to the other. The result is a cross-shaped space, and now two people are lying face to face in the space to the left and right, poking their probes out of the vents and observing the situation in the room.

"Presumably, these plants are very territorial, they will cover the walls of the entire room, and then when something enters, they will attack us in a way that attacks us." Jesse nodded and spoke softly.

"I thought it was attacking us for prey, but now it doesn't."

Ling Yu shifted the position of the probe. The camera shows a canine-like monster nailed to the ground by a wooden thorn. The monster's corpse was still intact, and there was no sign of plants ingesting organic matter.

"So what do we do now?" Ling Yu took a breath, "How can you get the one you want, 'neuron'?" ”

"It's simple. Just disturb the flora and fauna. Then let its wooden spikes attack you. Finally, it is enough to cut off the wooden thorns from the roots. Jiesi projected some information through her right hand, "Be careful that the liquid it secretes is highly toxic, put on a helmet and go in." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Ling Yu raised his eyebrows. Pointing to the tentacle that pierced the dead dog-type monster, "Can I just cut this one?" ”

"It's better to cut off the newer parts just to be on the safe side," Jess shook her head, "but with your reflexes, boss, it's not too difficult." ”

"I'm afraid of the word 'simple'" Ling Yu sighed and shook his head, "Especially when it comes out of your mouth." ”

"The incident in South Africa was obviously said by Han Fei......" Jiesi looked aggrieved.

"Alright, okay, I'm wrong to blame you." Ling Yu reached out and gently pinched Jiesi's pretty face, "Then I'll just go like this?" ”

"Here's for you, boss."

Jiesi took out two balls the size of a ping-pong ball from her waist bag and handed them to Ling Yu, who took a closer look, "Carbon dioxide fire extinguishing grenade?" ”

"Carbon dioxide can reduce the sensitivity of this plant to the process that we accidentally discovered." Jess pointed to "ping pong balls", "You go over first, trick it into attacking you, and then throw the grenade, that should slow down the time for the other thorns to attack you, giving you enough time to cut it down." ”

"What about the evacuation plan?"

"I'm going to spray carbon dioxide over here, hold this vent, and you can go back the way you came." Jiesi took out a small jar with CO2 written on it, which couldn't help but make Ling Yu feel that Jiesi's small waist bag was not the pocket of some blue fat man.

"It always feels very risky......" Ling Yu obviously felt that such a small vent was not very reliable as an evacuation route.

"There's another way to go straight through the main entrance, but I can't go with you." Jess showed another route to Ling Yu, "After you enter, I will make sure that the gate is open, and if necessary, tear this guy up from the outside and let you out." ”

"This method is quite reliable," Ling Yu nodded slightly, "I don't like to be opportunistic, so let's rush in openly." ”

"You're the boss." Jiesi shrugged slightly, then gave Ling Yu a thumbs up.

***

"Are you ready?"

Ling Yu took a deep breath, holding a shimmering dagger in his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the electronic door lock, and asked Jiesi a question over the radio.

It took a little effort for the two of them to reach the main entrance of this room, because there were a small number of mutant monsters entrenched on the way, but with the current strength of the two of them, it didn't take much time to kill these guys, but this also explained why there were unlucky mutant monsters being poked in the room.

However, as the two of them walked to the door of the room, Jesse recognized it as a spare bridge—a place where there were most likely useful things, such as the last shot.

At this time, the two of them were already fully armed, and in order to prevent the poisonous juice, they both wore helmets.

Jeunse didn't speak, just made an OK gesture.

Almost at the same time, Ling Yu's right hand slapped downward, and the electronic lock was opened, and without any hesitation, Ling Yu rushed into the room.

The first time he stepped on the soft carpet made of plants, the whole room came to life, and I don't know if it was because he had just completed a defense, or because the room was smaller, this time the reaction was much faster than the warehouse time.

"It's coming!"

Ling Yu didn't take two steps, and just as he rushed to the middle of the room, a huge sense of danger came from his head, and a wooden spike stabbed directly at his position.

But Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, and he was able to avoid it at the last moment.

The reason why he was stunned was because in a moment just now, the originally broad perception of danger suddenly refined, making him feel as if he had seen the landing point of the needle prick in advance.

But the second pinprick was dodged again, and the feeling disappeared again.

"Boss! Hold on! ”

Under Jiesi's reminder, Ling Yu, who dodged the third acupuncture, but did not appear as delicate as the prompt just now, shook his head and drove these feelings away from his brain, and then dodged the fourth acupuncture in a wrong step, and threw out the carbon dioxide fire extinguishing bomb with his hand.

At the moment when the extinguishing hand popped out, Ling Yu also exerted his strength under his feet and rushed towards the nearest needle prick.

Ambition is bound to win!

However, at the moment when the fire extinguisher exploded, something unexpected happened!

As if stimulated by carbon dioxide, the plant under Ling Yu's feet squirmed violently, causing Ling Yu to fall directly to the ground.

Coincidentally, Ling Yu's left hand holding the dagger slammed into a bulge on the ground, and the dagger was thrown out in response!

The worst thing was that under the stimulation of the high concentration of carbon dioxide, the acupuncture that was originally in front of Ling Yu actually began to shrink back rapidly!

"Damn!!"

At the critical moment, Ling Yu gritted his teeth, exerted force under his feet, and hugged the acupuncture that was retracting!. (To be continued......)
