Chapter 23: Your Father Is Dead, I Said It
"The source of the monster?"
When Freeman heard Isaac's words, his expression suddenly perked up, and with an expression of "If you want to talk about this, I won't be sleepy", grabbed Yang Wuji's shoulder and asked:
"What? Do you want to find the Otherworldly Passage and then rush into the monsters' lair and blow them all up into the sky? Then we are comrades! Go together, go together! β
Yang Wuji turned his head to look at Isaac and found that Isaac not only did not dissuade him, but also nodded very approvingly.
"It's not...... You engineers, are you so murderous? And looking at your expressions, those who don't know still think that you have done the same thing, and you are still very enthusiastic about the same, is it really a line of work, a line of love? β
Yang Wuji complained frantically in his heart, and it was not good to pour cold water directly on his face, but he vaguely reminded the two of them, saying that in addition to the three monsters that appeared now, there are likely to be more powerful and difficult monsters to deal with at the source of the monster.
"All fear comes from lack of firepower," Isaac was not worried about Yang Wuji's reminder: "We have a plan for how to destroy the Otherworldly Passage - don't look at me like that, after all, there is still a success rate in assembling the spaceship, and once the final assembly fails, we can't stay here and wait for death." So before you came, we were talking about how to take out the monster's lair once and for all. β
"That's right," Freeman said, motioning for Yang Wuji and Isaac to follow him:
"Because the Governor's Mansion is very brutal and rude in the exploitation of the planet, they are worried that they will accidentally dig up the planet one day, so they have hired our company to help them monitor the planet's geology.
Two years ago, our company had laid hundreds of thousands of monitoring instruments on the crust of Charan Star in one go, intending to knock on the Governor's Palace, but after the monster attack yesterday, the signals of these monitoring instruments were all cut off.
Combined with the fact that the signal network and the deep web were blocked at the same time, we guess that these shielding phenomena should be related to the appearance of those otherworldly monsters. β
Freeman said, leading Yang Wuji to a makeshift hut made of iron sheets.
Inside the hut were several tables covered with paper materials, as well as a moving blackboard with maps attached, like a makeshift operations command room.
There were more than a dozen familiar or unfamiliar figures, sitting on the sofas and chairs in the room, resting and drinkingβAlyx and Eva, who had seen them before, were among them.
"So according to the records of the missing contact of the monitoring instrument, I found out the location of the monitoring instrument that lost contact at the earliest, as long as we can rush over and manually retrieve the data of the monitoring instrument, we can find out the precise location of the monster that appeared first."
Freeman walked over to the moving blackboard, scooped up a banana from the table, and concluded as he ate, pointing to the map on the board.
ββ¦β¦ Terrible. β
Yang Wuji was amazed again.
These engineers, who obviously have no internal intelligence, can find out the relevant situation of this disaster so clearly, which is really awesome.
He looked at the location and monitoring range of the monitoring instruments marked on the map, and secretly marked them on the map of his brain.
With the Divine Mind Scan, Yang Wuji doesn't need any monitoring instrument data at all, he only needs to run to the monitoring range and sweep it around with the Divine Thought, and he should be able to discover the location of the Otherworldly Passage.
He planned to find an excuse to leave the refuge area and search for the otherworldly passage by himself.
It's not that Yang Wuji doesn't believe in these engineers, it's just that with their equipment and strength, it's okay to say that when they encounter ordinary low-level otherworldly entities, if they encounter the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood, they are basically delivering food.
When the time comes, Yang Wuji will not be able to save them.
So it's better to be alone from the beginning, flying in the air with the Stealth Talent and Stealth Skill to search, which is both safe and efficient.
These two of his concealment methods have a miraculous effect on low-level otherworldly entities, and they should also be effective for the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.
"How? Do you want to do it? β
Freeman saw that Yang Wuji was deep in thought, and thought that he was considering whether to join their battle plan, so he persuaded him while the iron was hot:
"We've got our gear and team members in place, and we're just one person left to charge a small electromagnetic cannon, which is a great weapon against a large number of monsters, and a perfect match for your electro-based abilities! With you on board, our program can start at least two days in advance! β
"When did you plan to act?"
"After three days, it is more difficult to adapt the corresponding movable energy to the electromagnetic gun."
Alyx walked over from the side and interjected.
Yang Wuji nodded after listening: "If I join, you plan to leave tomorrow?" Let me think about it again...... I'll answer you tomorrow morning. β
"No problem, it's a matter of good consideration."
Freeman said, tossing the finished banana peel into the garbage heap and began to introduce Yang Wuji to the people in the house.
In addition to Alyx and Eva, who I knew before, there were other people such as Jacob, a strong man, a mechanic, Juan, a male nurse who is proficient in medical products and instruments, and Gerrish, a female man who specializes in all kinds of explosives for mining.
Yang Wuji was even in the crowd and saw a young man John who ran a courier like him, and the division of labor in the team was mobile support and communication support.
Looking at the other party's D-level courier certification, Yang Wuji had an expression of "old-timer", patted John's shoulder, and motioned to him, "Young man, do a good job, you can also be promoted to C-level like me in the future." In exchange for a roll of the other party's eyes.
"The people gathered here can be regarded as 'elites'."
After getting to know all the personnel, Yang Wuji nodded in praise.
If you don't consider the dependents of the Lord of Flesh, the people here give him the feeling that they do have the ability to fight their way out of the monster group.
"What bullshit elites, elites have all run away in spaceships, we just have a shittack with those shit monsters to settle."
Freeman said, throwing a weapon shaped like a bubble gun to Yang Wuji:
"Tomorrow is going to be a statutory long holiday, these bastards, if you don't come early or late, you have to come two days before our vacation, and the beautiful paid holidays are all in vain! Damn it! β
"Yes!"
"Kill them!"
Freeman's words resonated with everyone in the room, and they all raised their weapons and shouted in response, much like the bandits Yang Wuji had seen on TV before.
"Is this the resentment of social animals...... Terrible. β
Yang Wuji took the "bubble gun" and looked at the excited crowd in the house speechlessly, and he could understand their mood very well, after all, he was also a worker.
"What is this thing for?" Without dwelling on everyone's strange motives, Yang Wuji asked Freeman with a bubble gun.
"It's an electromagnetic gun," Alex explained to him, she seemed to be an expert in all types of firearms, and the towing gun she used to kill monsters was a handmade by herself.
"This gun can fire metal projectiles at high speed, and if the distance is close, the penetration is higher than that of ordinary military rifles, and it only consumes electricity, and the ammunition is also easy to carry."
She pointed to a large two-meter-tall "bubble gun" placed in the corner of the room:
"This is an enlarged version of the electromagnetic gun in your hand, the electromagnetic gun, which can launch a metal ball with a diameter of 50 centimeters at a speed of more than five times the speed of sound, with a range of at least 100 kilometers, and a cannon can penetrate the hill at the close point, the disadvantage is that it consumes too much power, and we charge the battery for two days, which is only enough for it to fire about 10 times, and the bullet can be carried by a robot."
Freeman patted Yang Wuji on the shoulder: "If you come, we will put this thing on the armored car, build a small bunker for you, and be responsible for charging it, and the ammunition tube is enough, and when the time comes, the monsters will kill as many as they want." β
Yang Wuji was a little moved when he heard this, and began to carefully inquire about the principle of Alyx's electromagnetic cannon, and at the same time scanned the internal structure of the electromagnetic cannon with his divine thoughts, planning to try to see if he could rely on his large number of skills and divine thoughts to assemble an "invisible electromagnetic cannon".
After this inquiry, I found that the feasibility was quite high, and I was immediately excited, and began to ask the details little by little like a primary school student.
Alyx didn't care, and explained it to him seriously.
After learning the electromagnetic cannon, Yang Wuji ran to ask others about the strange homemade weapons such as gravitational traps and catapult flying blades.
After a morning, he had gained a lot, and he had also really realized the shortcomings of his previous purely relying on the cultivation system to learn skills.
That is to rely too much on the system to cast spells, and not to have enough understanding of these skills and the principles behind them.
"When this matter is over, I have to sort out all the skills at hand, especially the knowledge and information instilled in me by the cultivation system, I have to review it carefully, and then find more cases, listen to lectures, and understand other people's understanding of relevant knowledge...... Groove ...... I persuaded my sister to go to school two days ago.,This should go to school.,Is it me?? β
Inspired by a group of engineers and technicians, Yang Wuji burst out with an unprecedented enthusiasm for learning, and at this time he suddenly had the true consciousness that "he is a primitive person, and he must study hard to return to society".
"Alas...... The clown turned out to be myself. β
With a sigh, he sorted out and digested what he had just learned, and then followed everyone out of the hut and prepared to go for lunch.
"Wait until you're done eating, find a place where no one is around, and see if you can make an electromagnetic cannon on your own."
Yang Wuji pondered as he walked.
At this time, not far away, Isaac suddenly appeared, and he walked over with a tall and beautiful woman with long black hair.
"Huh? Why does this woman look familiar? β
Yang Wuji only glanced at the woman at first, thinking that she was also a technician in the refuge area, so he didn't care.
But suddenly a light flashed in his mind, Yang Wuji's eyes suddenly widened, and he strode forward in two steps, walked to Isaac's side, pointed at the woman and asked:
"Why is she here?"
"Yang, you're just in time, I'm introducing Freeman," Isaac smiled when he saw Yang Wuji coming:
"I'm really lucky today, I met two useful superpowers in a row, this is Xi Lan, the superpower is to control metal, and I came here in Huanglong City to find my father."
There was no need for Isaac to say it, of course Yang Wuji knew who the woman in front of him was.
According to the information provided to him by Investigator Jerry, this woman is one of the two Divine Evoking cultists lurking on the planet Charan! Even the Blood Ritual itself was organized by this woman herself! This man is the most wicked, and his hands are stained with the blood of innocent people!
Yang Wuji stared at Xi Lan, his mind was racing rapidly, and at the same time he asked her:
"You're looking for your father?"
"Hmm." Xi Lan nodded, and her beautiful features showed a shy smile, but this smile didn't match the terrible scar on her face that ran across her cheeks.
"What's your father's name?"
"Christopher."
Yang Wuji listened, his eyes widened:
"Then you don't have to look for it, your father is dead, I said."
