Chapter Twenty-Six: The Art of Destruction
"Little Babu is okay, with only twenty-five bottles of explosive potions and ten bursting scrolls, can it really blow up a building of this size?"
"With this amount of materials, I can demolish my house at most, and at most I can only demolish two rooms, and I can't tear down one more roof."
"Then your parents won't beat you to death?"
"Don't argue, the boss trusts him so much, maybe he can really do it."
"It's even more terrifying to be able to do it, isn't it, such a high house falls, in case it falls in the wrong direction, we are so close, we won't be stoned to death together."
"No, he seems to have said just now, he can't hit us, it's a safe distance."
"He said you would believe it, I doubt it anyway ......"
The group of whisperers were the other five members of the scavenging team, and at this time, they were on the first floor of another low building less than ten meters away from the building occupied by Roshan, and the room had been cleaned with a special alchemy potion and set up a safe area.
After Babu and Monica had made up their minds to tear down the building, they returned to the entrance. Although the others didn't trust Babu, they still trusted Monica, and seeing that Monica really went back and forth safely and soundly, without triggering the battle at all, the five of them were a little relieved, and followed Monica and Babu with fear, and came to this special room in two batches.
The five people whispered in the rear, and Babu and Monica were not so lucky, the two were busy in the target building at this time, with Babu in charge of the specific operation, and Monica in charge of guarding and guarding to avoid inadvertently disturbing Roshan during the operation, even if it was really disturbed, at least they could escape in time.
Babu was now carrying a large backpack with a lot of stuffed stuff, and he was carrying an iron hammer in one hand and a long wooden stick in the other, and he slowly leaned out of a wall. Monica, on the other hand, held the whip in one hand and the round shield she had snatched from her teammates in the other, waiting motionless at Babu's side.
The stick stopped halfway through, and Babu swallowed his saliva and looked back at Monica, who was also nervous, her muscles tensed and she gritted her teeth and nodded at him. Babu's heart was crossed, and from a distance, he picked open a sarcoma on the wall with a wooden stick.
It's not a puncture, it's not an attack, it's just a pluck off the wall.
The sarcoma had relied on a few muscle-like tentacles to stick to the wall, as if it had grown with the wall, but as the strength of the stick increased, the adhered tentacles pulled out a few cloudy strands of slime and then fell off the wall, revealing the smudged wall underneath.
Finding that this non-aggressive touch of the foreign object did not cause Roshan to react, both of them felt their muscles go weak at the same time, and finally they were not so nervous, and after a silent high-five celebration, Babu finally swung the iron drill against the dirty wall.
Inserted three times in a row against the wall, and with the increase of source energy, a small hole was finally poked out of the thick load-bearing wall. The hole was not large, only allowing three fingers to insert it, but Babu had already stopped his movements, and after cleaning the gravel from the hole with an iron drill, he took out a leather scroll and lightly stuffed it into the small hole.
Returning to the safe area for a breath, he continued to wander around the building, and from time to time the iron hammer in Babu's hand knocked on the walls and floors, and then listened intently, sometimes even lying directly on the wall and listening close to the wall, not caring about the fishy smudges on his face.
After a moment's knock, Babu suddenly stopped, looked around, bumped her elbow against Monica's arm, and pointed to the top of her head. On the top of the head is a string of bloated pieces of flesh, which shrink and expand from time to time, mucus dripping downwards with silky threads, and several fleshy tentacles growing around the meat pieces, which look like a giant eyeball dragging nerves, making people's scalp tingle when they look at it.
Reminding Monica of her goal, Babu's stick was long enough to reach the roof diagonally, and after several attempts in a row, Babu finally managed to pick off a tentacle attached to the wall.
One, two, Babu plucked out four tentacles in a row, seeing that the position to be used was already vacant, and there was no need to expand the empty space, due to its own weight, the piece of flesh that had lost part of the climbing point suddenly fell entirely. The incident happened so suddenly, and Babu didn't even have time to completely get out of the way, and although he tried his best to avoid it, he could only watch as a strip of meat was thrown around and smashed directly into his face.
"Smack", a shield stretched out in time, blocking in front of Babu, the tentacles were blocked by the shield, and finally did not slap directly on Babu's face, it was dangerous, especially the tip of the tentacle, which hung down around the shield, and almost touched the top of Babu's head, fortunately, the length was slightly shorter, and after shaking on the top of Babu's head, after dripping a few drops of mucus, it slipped down the shield little by little, and finally fell to the ground with the main body of the meat.
During the whole process, the two of them didn't even dare to look away, staring at the whole process of the tentacle falling off, but both of them were too focused, and no one noticed that the other tentacle that fell with the main body kept twisting and turning, just when the two were engrossed in staring at the one on the shield, it slapped directly on Babu's ankle.
The atmosphere froze instantly, time seemed to have stopped, whether it was Babu or Monica, their muscles were already tense to the extreme, ready to start fleeing the next moment, but one heartbeat, two heartbeats, the two waited for a few seconds, and they didn't see any reaction from Roshan.
The two of them remember very well that they had reacted before, especially when they came in Babu for the first time to test their combat effectiveness, the reaction was so big that they almost disabled him, and they slapped Monica for this, but now, ...... Is it because of the pants?
Babu quickly withdrew his legs, and the two looked at each other, Babu handed over an inquiring look, and made a touching and trying motion in his hand, but immediately shook his head again, it was better to finish the business first, and not to get sideways. Eventually, the attention of the two turned back to the roof that had been vacated after the meat had fallen.
"Pap", Monica patted her shoulder, Babu didn't talk nonsense, with a little bit of strength on Monica's outstretched hand, he jumped on her shoulder, both of them were very tall, Monica supported Babu's legs underneath, Babu stretched out a wooden stick against the roof above, which was considered to stabilize his body, Babu used an iron drill to draw on the roof for a while, and then chiseled a few times, breaking a hole bigger than a fist.
"Whoosh", without much communication, he just stretched out his hand downward, and Monica had already agreed in advance, and handed over an orange bottle. The Bรกb above carefully checked the seal of the bottle to make sure it did not spill, then stuffed the bottle into the hole, and then took out three more nails and drove them diagonally around the hole, holding the bottle firmly to the roof.
Going out for ventilation one by one, drilling and filling holes one by one, as the number of times increases, the bulging backpack is getting more and more deflated. Monica has been busy with Babu, watching him walk through a very dangerous environment without fear, choosing one position after another, once selected, he will never hesitate, looking at his growing self-confidence, Monica's eyes hide something strange. Although she didn't understand how Babu could destroy the megastructure with such a small amount of explosives, maybe it was just because of her distraction, she never asked, and followed Babu from beginning to end, cooperating with all his actions.
"It wasn't me who brought it down, and it wasn't explosives." Monica didn't ask, but Babu seemed to guess her question, and after putting down the last scroll and rechecking the location of all the buried props on one side, the two finally withdrew from the building, and as soon as they returned to the safe area, Babu took the initiative to explain, "It was himself who really made it collapse, well, his own respect." โ
The muscles in the corners of Monica's eyes twitched, and she shook her head vigorously with a serious face.
"Forget it, it's hard to explain in more detail, to put it simply, I destroyed some of the stress points of the building, which will cause the force balance of its parts to be broken." Babu crossed his fingers with his hands and then disengaged them to the sides, for example, "In this way, they were originally a forced whole, but I blew up the points of force between them, half to the left, half to the right, and then tore themselves apart. โ
Monica nodded as if she didn't understand.
"Also, don't ask me how I know this, I can't give you an answer, and honestly, I don't know."
"I said it, I don't ask." Monica smiled, and for the first time Babu read the gentleness in her smile, "Just tell me when you know later." โ
"Heh, in the future......" Babu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said seriously, "If I find the answer in the future, I will definitely be the first to tell you." โ
"Okay, I'll wait."
"It won't be long, I'm sure." Babu suddenly straightened up, shook his fist, and raised his voice, "Go, go back to the safe zone, and let them see what the art of destruction is." Dare to question our level, we must leave a deep impression on them, so that they will not dare to forget it for the rest of their lives. โ
"Huh? What will you not dare to forget in your life? As they spoke, they returned to the safe area where the others were waiting, and the others had just heard Babu's last words, and for a moment they were a little confused.
"It's not important, don't worry about it yet." Monica's face was slightly red, and she quickly changed the topic and said, "The props are already in place, and once the destruction starts, it is impossible to stop, so some things need to be arranged in advance." โ
"When the building collapses, the building itself will cause a huge damage to it. After that, stimulated by a stress response, it will twitch violently and wave its tentacles at high speed, an action that will remove the fragments of the building covering its body, exposing at least a portion of its body. โ
"Take advantage of this opportunity and attack everyone at the same time, including Babu, Eve, and Winter." Monica turned to the non-existent male team member, and finally called out his name, "The three of you are responsible for following us, cleaning up the third-order tricks that come over, and if you have time, help clean up the tentacles that are close to the rest of us." โ
"Victor, Suni, our three main attacks, full firepower, at all costs, to destroy the body of the node Roshan as quickly as possible." Monica turned to the last strong man covered in tattoos, "Rick, you are responsible for protecting the three of us, I don't care what method you use, hold the three of us until we achieve our goal, especially Suni will not die." โ
"Whether you can succeed or not, just look at the last fight, everyone work hard, after success, I hope to be with everyone, go back to tonight's banquet, and have a good drink then."
Monica explained everything in one fell swoop, and then turned her gaze to Babu.
"Really, can it really be done?" There are still people who don't believe it, "Babu, don't mess around, it's a trivial matter if you can't blow it up, don't stone us all to death." โ
"It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible to blow up, if it really blows up, I'll eat the debris of the whole building."
"The facts will tell, and besides, I hope you will have a good appetite in a while." Babu squinted her eyes and smiled, "Eve will detonate your scroll first, and a second later, Victor will detonate your potion." Don't hesitate to detonate all the props. โ
"Then next." Babu pointed out the window and said lightly, "It's time to show the real art of destruction, heh, bang ......"
"Bang ......"
