Chapter 69: The Purgatory of Water
Without hesitation, Isaiah and Deshui turned around and ran towards the cockpit door.
They knew that even if they stayed here, they would only be a burden to add trouble to Zhao Tianyu. Only by finding Jiang Xiao and others can they have some chance of winning.
They also believed that Jiang Xiao and Xinyun Chaoyang would never have been killed by the whirlpool in the cabin. Otherwise, there is no need for the Whirlpool to sneak into the cockpit through the coffee machine's water pipe, and it can walk in through the main entrance in a bright light.
But Yu Xuan didn't intend to make Zhao Tianyu satisfied. Her goal is still with Isaiah and Deshui both old and them.
She had already received all the information given to her by the dean before she set out, and she knew all about the abilities that Jiang Xiao and his party had.
Zhao Tianyu didn't have any ability that could threaten her, and the second was ...... Isaiah and Deshui are definitely the two most crucial characters on their way to find seeds! Otherwise, how could Xinyun go out of his way to go around Los Angeles and let the two of them join this brigade?
Although these two people, one is a civilian without any special abilities, and the other only has the ability to shrink objects, and the Dean does not know where their abilities will be used, it is at least certain that killing them is the most important thing at the moment!
As for where the seeds are buried and how they should be obtained, those are all things that need to be considered later.
The Vortex sneered and lunged towards the two who were already running out of the cockpit. Although Zhao Tianyu stopped on her route, she ignored it.
Anyway - this high-frequency strengthened warrior has no means to threaten her!
Zhao Tianyu clenched his teeth, and slashed at Yu Xuan's body with the knife in his hand, but he didn't get any results except for the splashing water. Instead, as the two of them passed by, her left arm was sliced by the water blade again, cutting out a deep scar that could be seen to the bone.
And the pace of the whirlpool was not even hindered by her to stop for the slightest.
Hearing the sound of breaking the air behind him, the old Isaiah, who was running behind, turned around sharply and saw that the transparent human body behind him had already pounced on his back, only one step away from him.
Seeing that the right arm of the whirlpool had condensed into a water blade, and the next moment it was about to fall towards his vest, old Isaiah closed his eyes and was ready to die.
But—what followed, instead of the pain of being slashed by the water blade, was a scream!
The screams of the whirlpool!
With a scream of heart-rending pain!
Just as the Vortex was about to cut off the old Isaiah's head, a fireball shot into her chest, and then erupted into a violent squeak that sent up a cloud of steam.
And in front of old Isaiah and Deshui, there was Jiang Xiao with a murderous face, and the two people behind him.
In each of the three of them, they each held two oddly shaped pistols.
"Damn! how did I forget this thing!"
Old Isaiah and Deshui rushed behind Jiang Xiao and patted their heads heavily.
It is a flare gun hidden in the storage box on the deck, which is used to summon nearby ships to come to the rescue and indicate its own direction in the event of a shipwreck.
Although it could only be single-shot and could not be reloaded, three were reserved in each of the stern and storage compartments on the left and right sides, plus five on each of the two lifeboats, bringing the total to twenty-two.
And this disposable flare gun is filled with magnesium powder or aluminum powder, which can reach thousands of degrees of high temperature!
Although the Phantom Vortex is immune to almost all physical attacks, such a high temperature is the most effective weapon for her!
If this flare gun hits a human body, although it will burn the epidermis at the moment of contact, the damage will not be too great, because it will be bounced off in an instant.
But for a body like the Dark Vortex, where the whole body is covered with water, it is very different. The high-temperature burning magnesium and aluminum bullets penetrated straight into her body, and even vaporized a part of the water and electrolyzed it into hydrogen and oxygen, burning even more violently.
The whirlpool that had been pounced on suddenly rolled on the ground.
Jiang Xiao's face was grim, and when he saw that the attack had really taken effect, he shook his right hand without hesitation, threw away the signal gun that had been emptied, raised his left hand steadily again, aimed at the whirlpool on the ground, and pulled the trigger.
The screams rang out again, and the Vortex was just about to stand up, when a second flare had already shot into her body, and she was stimulated by the burning pain to roll on the ground again, and even the original human form could no longer be retained, and it spread out into a mass of water.
"Get out of the cockpit, get water, get rain, get all the other flare guns, old Isaiah, go find tools, get the gasoline out of the lifeboat!"
"Damn!" Old Isaiah had already run behind Jiang Xiao at this moment, patted his head heavily, and his eyes lit up: "How did I forget that thing!"
The Poseidon is an ocean-going vessel, and the fuel for the power system is heavy fuel oil for the ship, which will not be ignited directly even if it encounters an open flame. But the lifeboats on both sides of the ship are equipped with gasoline engines.
To ensure safety, the engine of the lifeboat is filled with gasoline at all times, enough to travel at top speed for two hours.
And gasoline ...... But it can be ignited directly by an open flame!
Old Isaiah hurriedly took Zhao Tianyu and Deshui and ran towards the side of the ship, and while running, he loudly ordered the two of them, one went to get more flare guns and handed them to Jiang Xiao and the others, and the other went to the cabin restaurant to find the container.
Jiang Xiao's eyes were fixed on the Yu Xuan on the ground, and his right hand had already taken another flare gun from Xinyun's palm. Seeing that the water mass she had turned into was beginning to condense again and gradually returning to her human form, her right hand shook, and another signal shot out.
The water mass had just condensed into a whirlpool body, and it was hit by another signal flare, and let out a miserable scream again: "Jiang Xiao! You can't kill me like this! Don't be delusional!"
She wasn't wrong. Although every time you are hit by a signal projectile, it brings a sharp pain that rears your lungs, but it does not cause much substantial damage. The flare will soon extinguish after touching the body of the whirlpool. Although the flares can reach temperatures of thousands of degrees before they go out, the time is too short.
Since the body of the whirlpool is water quality, it will definitely be evaporated when it is attacked by flames. Once her body was completely vaporized, it meant the end of her life. But until now, Jiang Xiao had fired three flares, but the body of the whirlpool could not be seen to shrink visibly with the naked eye.
However, Jiang Xiao didn't have much to worry about.
Because the flare gun in his hand is just a temporary measure to limit the movement of the whirlpool. The real killer move is the gasoline he asked old Isaiah to fetch!
Jiang Xiao suddenly began to miss Dark Yanlai. The man who killed his colleague Ziyan in order to seize the seed.
Although Jiang Xiao didn't understand it so clearly at that time, now he can be sure that Dark Flame's innate ability is to make the whole body enter a state of high heat.
Because of the high heat, it can make the biological toxins of the poisonous scorpion ineffective. Because of the high heat, it can make the poisonous bees that evolved from purple smoke unable to get close.
This kind of innate ability, if you can face the current whirlpool...... It can almost be called a completely irresistible crush.
Zhao Tianyu had already quickly taken all the other signal guns, and piled them all up behind Jiang Xiao and the others. And old Isaiah, on the other hand, has also begun to work with Deshui to draw gasoline from the fuel tank of the lifeboat.
"Jiang Xiao......" Zhao Tianyu frowned, looking at the whirlpool in front of him that had condensed from the water mass again and again to a human form, but was once again dispersed by a signal flare before it was formed: "Use gasoline...... Does it work? Gasoline ...... It's going to float on the water, right...... And she's still in the cockpit, and once she spills gasoline in and ignites it, the whole cockpit ...... Isn't it all ruined?"
"Don't worry. I already have an idea. Jiang Xiao shook his head, with a confident smile on his face, and pulled the trigger again, causing another scream to Yu Xuan.
When the flare was already halfway consumed, old Isaiah and Deshui finally finished the work at hand, and rushed over with gasoline from two large basins: "Jiang Xiao, do you want to splash it on her?"
"Nope. Jiang Xiao shook his head and said sharply: "Get water, enlarge the basin, and buckle it up!"
"What?" Deshui was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Jiang Xiao immediately turned his head and glared at him fiercely: "Hurry up!"
At the same time, Jiang Xiao shot another signal on Yu Xuan's body, causing her who had just condensed and formed to scatter back into the water mass again.
"Yes!" Although Deshui was surprised in his heart, he still instinctively did not dare to disobey Jiang Xiao's order, and quickly rushed into the cockpit, turning the basin over with both hands and deducting it high.
By the time the basin fell in the air, it was already growing in size. By the time she reached the water mass of the whirlpool, it was enough to wrap her whole body, and there was still plenty to spare.
And the button that got the water was skillful, and although the basin was turned one hundred and eighty degrees, not a drop of gasoline in it spilled out.
And at the moment when the basin touched the ground, Jiang Xiao also lowered his body suddenly, and a signal flare stuck to the ground shot in between the gap between the basin and the ground.
The flare touched the gasoline in the basin, and suddenly burst into a burst of violent sparks.
"Heavenly Rain!"
Jiang Xiao burst into a shout, Zhao Tianyu didn't hesitate, he already understood what Jiang Xiao was thinking, and he had already rushed to the basin that was so tall that he was on the ground.
Zhao Tianyu's right index finger stretched out and circled around the basin, and every time the index finger was inserted, a piece of iron powder fell on the basin, and a small hole appeared.
This is a necessary measure. Without this little hole, the air in the basin would soon be burned out.
Jiang Xiao scooped up a few flare guns from the ground and threw them to the others, beckoning them to gather around the huge basin, ready to guard against the possibility of escape from the small hole.
In the basin, a terrible scream suddenly erupted to the extreme. It seems that from ancient times to the present, all the most tragic punishments in heaven and earth have been inflicted on the body of the whirlpool.
"Damn it! Jiang Xiao! You brutes! Sluts! God damn it, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
The muffled sound that came from under the basin reached everyone's ears in the cramped cockpit.
Not only Zhao Tianyu, but even old Isaiah's face showed a trace of unbearable look. But other than that, Jiang Xiao and the others have never changed their faces.
The two of them are both senior awakened people, regardless of it, Jiang Xiao has also experienced several life-and-death battles over the past few days, and he has long understood that in this journey, between the assassins sent by the academy and them, it must be either you die or I die.
And Deshui is a black man from the streets of Compton, so it is naturally not strange to see this situation, and he looks at the basin in front of him with a relaxed face.
The basin had now turned into a huge furnace, and inside the furnace was purgatory.
The Purgatory of One Man!
