Chapter 187 Lantern Flower
At 16:20 in the afternoon, Lin Xian rode his motorcycle rapidly through the streets of the town towards the large chemical plant. The towering distillation towers and many silver storage tanks appeared in their sight.
The vehicle ran over debris along the way and drove into the collapsed gate of the chemical plant, arriving at an open area. Looking around, many areas in the chemical plant were flooded with sewage. In some places, strange-colored water was flowing on the ground, and there was a pungent smell in the air.
Shuqin and Dalou also arrived from the other side in a jeep and drove into the gate of the chemical plant.
"Captain Lin."
Shu Qin took down a simply drawn map and said to Lin Xian, "We checked the area where the strange entities retreated last night, and then searched along the several main roads in and out of this town. We can basically determine that it should be a circular area covering the entire Yu Town. If we are not mistaken, this chemical plant is the center."
Lin Xian nodded when he heard this and looked back at the huge distillation tower: "That should be here."
Woo~
On the other side, KIKI had already debugged the drone and took it off directly, letting the drone start flying along the chemical plant.
In the video, the entire chemical plant was deserted. KIKI looked at the screen and said, "I didn't see anyone. It seemed pretty normal."
“It can’t be normal.”
Lin Xian raised his hand and a light flashed, creating a small telescope and handed it to Shuqin: "Shuqin, find a high point and watch it."
"good."
Shu Qin nodded, took it from Lin Xian, and then put her Remington M96 on her back. She moved her body, stepped on the concrete pillar next to her, and leaped onto the raw material pipeline of the chemical plant. Then she quickly climbed up an elevated tower.
"Building, guard the door and the road."
"Okay, Brother Xian." Dalou took out the Gatling gun and walked towards the door.
After arranging everything, Lin Xian took out two gas masks and threw one to KIKI. After they put them on, they walked towards the largest chemical workshop.
"Hey, Lin Xian, did you scan the TRP power armor that guy was wearing earlier?"
KIKI followed quickly, and when she saw a strange liquid on the ground, she flew up lightly and followed Lin Xian.
"I want to, too, but I can't say it. Brother, please don't move. Let me touch you, okay?"
“Puff~”
KIKI didn't expect Lin Xian to say this all of a sudden, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha~ Are you stupid? Then why don't you take advantage of him when he's not paying attention? Or, let me knock him out?"
Lin Xian was speechless. No matter what, Ding Qing and the other man had rescued them just now. Even if the other party might have ill intentions, he would not attack them directly for no reason. Moreover, that kind of power armor was very complicated, and it would take a long time to scan it.
"Be careful and don't get distracted."
Lin Xian didn't want to chat with KIKI. At this moment, he was highly focused and kept an eye on the situation around him.
"By the way, why don't you call the idiot who set the fire in this situation?" KIKI said.
"We are just here to investigate. If we notice anything wrong, we will leave immediately. There may be more than one convoy in this town, as well as fake people and strange entities. It is more reliable to leave a person with superpowers behind."
"Oh~ Really? I thought you were worried about your teacher Chen~" KIKI didn't seem to feel any sense of urgency and joked with a smile.
Lin Xian didn't expect that this girl would still be in the mood to tease him in this situation, and asked with a smile: "Why, are you jealous?"
"Tsk~Eat your big head ghost."
The two turned left and right under many large pipes and finally arrived at the building under the tallest distillation tower.
An iron door with the words "Initiator Workshop No. 1" written on it appeared in sight.
The iron gate was half-open at this time, and a whistling cold wind kept blowing out, and a sound of emptiness kept coming out.
"Let's go in and take a look. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately." Lin Xian's heart tightened. He took off the rifle behind him, raised his hand to create a small steel shield, and walked straight in.
Phew~
All of a sudden, a sound of extremely empty air flow came towards me. As soon as I walked in, I saw that there was only a huge metal preparation kettle in the sky, a large yellow-painted cantilever machine in the air, and below was a sunken workshop with many tall silver storage tanks. Looking around, many tanks had collapsed, and a large amount of colorless liquid almost submerged 1/3 of the tanks. The entire underground floor of the workshop looked like a black swimming pool, bottomless.
Although the liquid looks colorless, Lin Xian doesn't think it is pure water.
He walked to the storage tank next to him and took a look. He frowned and said, "Oh my god, 70% tert-butyl hydroperoxide..."
KIKI asked, "Do you know this?"
"I learned it in high school chemistry." Lin Xian looked at the huge metal preparation kettle, his expression became serious: "It should be used to prepare alkali solution."
"What do you mean, is it dangerous?"
Lin Xian looked at KIKI flying in the air: "The tert-butyl hydroperoxide should not have leaked. That stuff is flammable and explosive. It will explode due to vibration and friction. If this pool is full of this, then this chemical plant would have been gone long ago. I guess it's all accumulated rainwater or something else. But if the lye preparation kettle on the top fell down and hit the storage tank, the entire one-kilometer radius would have disappeared."
hiss~
KIKI's expression suddenly changed when she heard that. She looked at the huge metal preparation kettle nervously: "Oh my god, it's so scary."
Lin Xian was about to retreat when he suddenly noticed a faint orange light flashing behind the preparation kettle and storage tank. He immediately started running forward along the metal passage. KIKI saw Lin Xian's movements and flew after him.
As the perspective changed, the orange object gradually revealed the tip of the iceberg.
The further they ran, the more solemn their expressions became, because what appeared in their sight was a strange plant several meters tall.
It was a plant that grew out of the chemical liquid pool at the bottom. A thick dark green flower stalk stood tall and then bent down. On it hung a flower that was shaped like a lantern and was about one or two meters in diameter. The stamens inside were like a bunch of red buds stacked up one after another, emitting a faint red light. The lantern-like buds were orange with fine lines on them.
This giant plant grows in a chemical solution, which looks extremely strange in this chemical plant full of metal tanks.
"Wow, such a big flower?" KIKI's eyes widened when she saw this scene, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this the same as our Hell Black Chrysanthemum, a blood disaster plant?"
Lin Xian's first reaction at this time was the same as KIKI's. He took a breath and said, "I thought so too, but..."
He stared at the flower in front of him. The red-orange light gave off an extremely weird feeling, which made people feel a little creepy.
And it is indeed a bit abrupt to have something like this appear before my eyes.
"But what?"
“It looks like a plant, but not quite like a plant.”
It was not known whether it was Lin Xian and KIKI’s illusion, but at this moment, they both felt that the red-orange light seemed to be flickering, and the lantern flower was slowly rising and falling.
KIKI looked grim, staring blankly at the scene, muttering softly: "Is this flower...
"breathe?"
After these words were spoken, Lin Xian felt goosebumps all over his body. He felt the same way.
At this time, a crisp sound came from his backpack. Lin Xian's heart tightened, and he guessed something. He immediately opened the bag chain, quickly made a metal clamp in his hand, and threw out the two glass test tubes.
Pah!
The metal test tube broke into pieces, and two white parasites fell to the ground, motionless, as if they were dead.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something weird about this thing!" Lin Xian's face darkened, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, under the red light of the lantern flower, the two white parasites seemed to come alive suddenly, stretched out their claws, and suddenly jumped out and fell into the deep pool of chemicals.
