Chapter XXVI Strange Ducati locomotives
Merlin and the others were negotiating the price, but they didn't care.
"No, I don't need your money, since you plan to change it yourself, you must buy a lot of accessories from me, and this one will be a giveaway."
Anyway, he didn't know who threw the car over, and he was planning to scrap it.
Since Merlin wanted it, he was too embarrassed to take any more money.
After all, the other party has already made a lot of profits from the accessories he buys.
And if this locomotive is to be overhauled this time, it will almost cost half a car.
"Okay, it's still the old place, and when I'm done checking, I'll send you the parts list." Merlin nodded, and left the Silent Children Club.
"Wait...... Didn't you say anything about the lizardmen yesterday? Jake stretched out his hand, looked at Merlin's vanishing back, and could only regret returning to the store.
…………
The platform over there at Hell's Kitchen is getting back on track, and it's been a busy time lately.
Since yesterday's incident failed, Peter and Professor Connors will definitely speed up their plans, and they will also have to follow up quickly, trying to recruit some players between the start of Peter's plan and find a way to organize a large mission in Apple City.
After returning to the tuning shop, Merlin retrieved the technical data and drawings of the Tyrant MK2, and at the same time drew the structure of the Ducati 916, and began to adjust the transformation plan.
"Look and see her eyes, they glow......" Just as he was specifying the modification plan, the mobile phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the caller, Merlin suddenly showed a headache.
The bell kept ringing, and it seemed like he wouldn't stop as long as he didn't answer.
Helpless, he could only press the connect button.
Merlin!! You're running to your tuning shop again, aren't you, what did I tell you yesterday, you try not to go out until the lizardman is caught. ”
As soon as they connected, there was a loud roar from the opposite side.
Merlin gasped and quickly moved the phone away from his ear.
It wasn't until George's tone on the other side gradually calmed down that he put the phone back to his ear.
"You know, my locomotive was smashed to pieces yesterday, and locomotives are my soul! I can't live without them. ”
"So, I'm just out to buy a locomotive today."
He explained in a serious tone.
"What car do you want? I can buy it for you, you don't have to run out. ”
"Forget it, I still won't bother you, I'm sure you don't have time." Merlin was sure.
George: "............"
Well, he really didn't have time yet.
"Go home as soon as possible today, that lizardman doesn't know how to target you, but you are in a dangerous situation right now, try not to linger outside, and keep your phone in communication at all times." George knew that the locomotive was very important to the kid, and in the end he could only say a few words of worry.
"Let's see......" Merlin said, and quickly hung up.
If he's lucky, he'll probably have to stay all night tonight.
George in the police station sighed helplessly as he looked at the communication in his hand, and the door to the office was suddenly opened.
"Sheriff George, there's news of Spider-Man and the Lizardmen."
"Let's go!" George immediately stood up and followed.

……
After the modification plan was formulated, Merlin sent over the list of spare parts.
Not long after it was sent, Jake sent the car along with the accessories.
After unloading all the locomotives and accessories from the wagons into the workshop, Merlin stood beside the Ducati locomotive, pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then walked to the locomotive and wiped the dirt from the surface with his fingers.
I don't know how long it has been abandoned, but the shell and many parts of the car have become rusty, and a lot of parts are missing.
Looking at the dirt wiped off his fingers, he clapped his hands.
"Let's go!"
He took the lead in picking up the water gun and moistened it for a while, then lathered it on and began to rinse.
After rinsing it several times with a high-pressure water gun, the locomotive still looks dilapidated, but the surface looks much cleaner and fresher.
And the black-red rust also shows some pink paint base.
After rinsing, Merlin began to disassemble it, and then meticulously polished every part.
It was a project that required patience, but Merlin enjoyed the process of getting the parts new in his own hands.
…………
……
Before the time came, after Merlin had cleaned and polished it over and over again, and replaced and installed many electrical parts, after the final red and white paint was completed, the original tattered and about to scrap Ducati on the station was gone, replaced by a brand new Ducati 916 painted in red and white.
The bright paint base reflects the luster in the light, showing the graceful arc of the body, and the worn-out tires have been replaced with matte black wire, like a hot beauty lying on the ground with her ass crossed.
"Hot babies?" Merlin scratched his head, how could he feel this way, could it be that he had been single for too long?
He shook his head and checked around the locomotive, intending to modify it with atomic engines and deadlock missiles as long as there were no problems.
Fortunately, when Jin He bought weapons a few days ago, he sent rare atomic energy industrial raw materials such as plutonium, so there was no need to worry about the production of atomic energy engines.
"Huh?" At this point, Merlin seemed to notice something, stopped in front of the car, and then crouched down and looked at the two bulging headlights.
There was some red paint on it, which should have been accidentally floated up when it was just spray-painted.
Although the protection is done before painting, after the protection is removed, there will be more paint spots inexplicably.
Merlin picked up the rag and tried to wipe it twice, and when he found that it didn't work, he sprayed some rosin perfume and wiped it carefully again.
The "Bo Bo Bo ......" rag and the surface of the headlights make a slippery sound under the friction of the pine perfume.
After two vigorous wipes, Merlin removed the rag.
But when he saw the situation of the headlights, he was stunned for a moment.
"What the hell!" There was a flush on the headlights, as if the diluted red paint had been scattered.
But it's just a little bit of red paint, how can it spread so much.
He was a little confused, and tried to wipe it twice with a rag again, and when he found that it didn't work, he wiped it with his hand.
His fingers slid down the wet and smooth headlights, and Merlin looked at his fingers, only to see that there was no red paint.
He tried rubbing the headlights again to see if he could rub them off a bit.
"Buzz! Buzzing!! However, just as he was about to retract it to check his fingers, the locomotive's engine suddenly roared, and the body and exhaust pipe trembled.
Merlin: "??? ”
"Igniting the ground?"
Thinking that it might be a problem with the ignition relay or wiring in the car, he stood up and put the problem with the lights aside for a moment, ready to check it out.
