Chapter 200: Test-3
I rubbed my toes back and forth a few times, making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, before daring to leave the outer edge of the cooling tower and walk towards the middle of the lid. The reason why I am so careful is that I know that the outer edge of the tower is very sturdy anyway, a real island of safety. The lid is different, and it is very likely that it will be manipulated by Shopee. So I had to be tempted before I could move on.
After walking a dozen steps, my mood gradually relaxed. Because the lid is very strong, it doesn't look like it's doing anything, and the load-bearing capacity is also quite strong, so it's estimated that it's no problem to put a heavy tank or stand hundreds of people.
It doesn't seem like there's any mechanism on the tower. So where is the mystery?
I looked at the other two cooling towers. To my surprise, the two cooling towers did not have lids, but opened their black holes like two monsters, looking like two huge "water glasses"!
The distance between the three cooling towers is more than 20 meters, and the towers are connected by an iron bridge. However, the so-called iron bridge is actually an iron ladder lying flat, with no guardrails on both sides, and a square hole in the middle, each interval is more than a foot wide, just enough for a normal person's step.
Could it be that the mystery is on the other two cooling towers? I hesitated for a moment, thought about it for a while, and decided to go over and have a look. I don't believe Shopee can really play any tricks that I didn't expect. So I walked up the iron ladder to the second cooling tower.
Actually, it's not that difficult to walk on such an iron ladder, I can pass it with my eyes closed and trot, of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it is really not difficult for people like me. However, for the sake of safety, I decided to go through it step by step, called one look, two slow, and three passes.
What I didn't expect was that Shopee's cleverness was really completely beyond my expectations - I had just reached the third of the iron ladder when I suddenly heard the crackling sound of electric sparks in my ears, and then I saw countless electric currents visible to the naked eye rushing from the iron ladder to my body, and lingering on the surface of my body, like countless poisonous snakes!
I was so frightened that my face turned blue, and even with the shield on, I only felt my heart pounding. I never thought that this iron ladder would be connected to high-voltage electricity by them!
I hurriedly and kept urging the heaven and earth aura in the dantian out to reinforce the shield. I know that the human body is a good conductor of electricity, and under such high-voltage electricity (I estimate that the current on this iron ladder is tens of thousands of volts, and if it hits, even the bones will undoubtedly be burned to ashes), if something goes wrong with the shield, it will undoubtedly cause fatal consequences!
After a few minutes of bombardment of electricity, I felt that there was nothing wrong with the shield, so I was relieved a little and continued walking.
I finally walked to the top of the second cooling tower, and when I looked down, I saw a very strange liquid in the tower, thick and sticky, and I don't know what it was? I just thought that it had a terrible luster, and even some kind of death smell, and it was definitely not a good thing! Maybe it was something very corrosive.
I was thinking like this, when I suddenly saw a thief head and a thief come out of an iron pipe opposite, it turned out to be a black-haired mouse, at least two or three pounds! This kind of rat often swaggers through the market under people's noses during the day, and now people only shout when they see mice, not fight, so this kind of rat is even more afraid of people. At the moment it stopped at the mouth of the iron pipe, and a pair of small eyes stared at me with a hint of mockery.
I suddenly felt a little angry in my heart: Okay, you guy who everyone shouts and beats dares to provoke me, then let you try it! I immediately used a "teleportation object" technique, sucked the black-haired mouse out of the iron pipe, and then threw it into the tower below.
As soon as the everybody shouted at the tower came into contact with the liquid, white smoke erupted, followed by a painful squeak - it only lasted less than a second, and its body was completely melted into the liquid!
I took a deep breath of cold air, not daring to stop at this tower for a moment, intending to continue on to the third cooling tower.
As mentioned earlier, these second and third cooling towers do not have lids, which means that there is no place to put your feet. The only place where I could stay was the iron ladder that still had high voltage electricity under my feet!
Although there is a shield protection, the high voltage is naturally helpless, but there are some obstacles on the way forward. Originally, the iron ladder was only half of the tower, but the other half did not have an iron ladder. That is, there is a distance of almost a meter without a ladder. I didn't have the strength to jump over a distance of five meters. So I had to look for something else. After I rolled my eyes, I had a plan, which was to walk along the outer wall of the cooling tower!
The outer walls of the cooling tower are about half a foot thick, so walking through them is not a problem. I'm afraid that Shopee will make ghosts on the edge of the wall again, which will make it a bit worse. But now I have no way back, I can only keep moving forward.
I made almost half a circle and finally got to the other side of the cooling tower and stepped on the iron ladder that led to the third cooling tower. To my surprise, the journey was quite smooth, and I made it to the third cooling tower with little effort.
The third cooling tower, although uncovered, does not look deep, and the second level of the inner four or five meters deep can be reached by an iron ladder hanging from the wall of the well. I've gone down there now, standing on the second layer of the lid and stupid. The lid also looks sturdy and doesn't have any problem bearing the weight of a human body. And there doesn't seem to be any other mechanism around. Is the test over?
I was thinking this when I heard the roar of a machine overhead. I looked up and saw that the iron arm of a tower crane had appeared above me at some point, and there seemed to be a very huge object hanging from the iron arm, like some kind of scrapped machine part, estimated to weigh more than ten tons!
Looking at the tower crane and the machine parts weighing more than ten tons suspended from the iron arm of the tower crane, I was first stunned, and then I understood one thing! It seems that they are going to hit me with this thing! This is also too terrifying, can my shield withstand the crushing of this Mount Tai?
No, I've got to get out of here! I made up my mind and immediately rushed to the iron ladder I had just come down at a speed of 100 meters, and I only had to flee to the edge of the tower, and I guess I could avoid this catastrophe!
My movements were not unpleasant, and I climbed up the iron ladder like a whirlwind, and soon reached the position of the edge of the tower.
At that moment, the machine part was lowered and crashed into the cooling tower like a thunderbolt! But one of its corners rubbed heavily against the iron ladder I was climbing, and the iron ladder was wiped by it, and it immediately fell apart, and I followed the "dirt plane" and fell down with my hands......
What's worse is that the machine parts actually smashed a big hole through the cement cover of the second layer, and I fell straight down from that hole!
The cooling tower is 20 meters high, and I naturally fell to the bottom of the tower 20 meters deep!
Since I maxed out the shield, the fall was bad, but it was fine. But when I got up, I found that my body was suddenly stuck to something and I couldn't move. By the light of the sky that came down from the top of the tower, I noticed that it was a layer of black greasy, about a meter thick. I picked it up with my fingers and put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, judging by common sense that it was a discarded oil layer mixed with various industrial oils such as engine oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and lubricating oil!
It's really strange that you can still move freely after being coated with so much waste oil!
I was both annoyed and a little confused: it stands to reason that the shield protects my body, forming an enchantment on the surface of my body, and nothing outside the enchantment can invade the enchantment. And since my body is now covered with the waste oil layer, it means that the protection of the barrier just now has lost its effect, allowing the waste oil layer to invade the barrier. How did this happen? This can only show one thing, that is, my alien energy has been exhausted just now, and I can't maintain the shield well, so the waste oil layer has invaded the barrier.
It was unfortunate to be covered in a sticky, dirty, disgusting-smelling layer of discarded oil, but there was also a little bit of luck in the misfortune that the energy failure occurred after I fell to the ground, and if it had happened a little earlier, I guess I would have been crushed by now.
But before I could last a few seconds, an unexpected situation happened. Because I distinctly heard the sound of electric sparks in the air. When I looked up, I saw that there seemed to be several aging wires six or seven meters above the ground, and one of them was bursting with electric sparks! It is estimated that this bare wire collided with other wires, and as a result, a short circuit occurred, causing the circuit to burn.
Before I could come to my senses, a fist-sized spark had fallen to the bottom of the tower and landed on top of the abandoned oil layer.
With a "puff" sound, the waste oil layer suddenly ignited into a sky-high flame, and spread in all directions, and soon the entire lower space of the cooling tower was filled with scorching red flames. And I am like Sun Wukong who was thrown into the "Bagua Furnace", wrapped in flames and turned into a fire man!
