The massive tremors at the bottom of the lake reverberated throughout the entire Water Mist City. Not only did Song Sanchuan and Si Wuyai rush to the lakeside because of the tremors, but the entire Water Mist City seemed to slowly revive and go into a frenzy because of them.
In the short distance of less than fifty meters from the lakeside to the Water Mist Station, Xie Tianlang, Song Sanchuan, and Si Wuyai encountered more than a dozen attacks from the killer grass that had spread along the lakeside.
With Song Sanchuan carrying Gou Fugui on his back and Si Wuyai carrying the huge, relatively soft, transparent core, these wildly growing killer plants did indeed cause them great inconvenience.
However, this inconvenience did not last more than two seconds under Xie Tianlang's suppressed and gloomy anger. The two daggers in the hands of the man, who was still bleeding, seemed to have a strange, cold light in the dark night. With a wave of his hand, he could cut down dozens of deadly plants.
Xie Tianlang led the way, and they arrived at the entrance of the Water Mist Inn without any major incidents.
On Wednesday, worried about the health of his brother Fugui, whom he was carrying, he instinctively wanted to step forward and open the inn door to take his brother to get treatment. However, Xie Tianlang grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. At the same time, as the inn door was opened, a cold glint flashed, revealing the innkeeper and his wife, who were filled with mad hatred. Each of them held a knife and looked at the people in front of them as if they were their sworn enemies, wanting them to die at their hands.
Even though they were invaded by invasive microorganisms, and in a sense, the "camouflage cells" in the boss and his wife's bodies were much stronger than before, they were still ordinary people who had not received any training and were full of flaws.
Before they could even finish swinging their knives, Xie Tianlang kicked them all away.
The attack also knocked down the six inn guests behind the owner and his wife, who were also carrying weapons, making this originally very dangerous "door-opening kill" seem like a childish prank.
“We blew up the nest of these invasive microorganisms, and now all the invaders in the city will be attacking this way.”
"You two take Yuanyuan and Yuanhe to the room upstairs. Take care of Yuanyuan first, and then hurry up and study targeted extermination agents for these invasive microorganisms."
Song Sanchuan and Si Wuyai nodded, and then Song Sanchuan asked with some concern, "What about you, boss? Don't tell me you're going to deal with all the people, animals, and plants in the city by yourself! Even if you're made of iron, you can't withstand this kind of exhaustion, and you're already badly injured."
Xie Tianlang chuckled: "Of course not. I'll just deal with these intruders first, tie them up together, and put them in the room next door. Then I'll reinforce the inn's doors and windows as needed."
"Even if we are ultimately trapped here, we must buy ourselves more time to build a better fortress."
Only then did Song Sanchuan feel relieved, and he and Si Wuyai quickly went upstairs.
However, after going upstairs, Si Wuyai's huge microbial source core, which was three meters in diameter, obviously couldn't fit through the door. So Si Wuyai simply placed this huge, slightly soft crystal ball-like thing outside the suite door.
Actually, this is better, because the closer they are to this giant source core, the more microorganisms will want to invade them.
Even after the two of them brought Gou Fugui into the suite, Si Wuyai did not allow Song Sanchuan to take off his full protective suit.
“We are too close to the source of the invasion. Fugui and Xie Tianlang have already been invaded and there is nothing we can do about it for the time being. But we must make sure that the two of us stay awake and are not invaded. Otherwise, if either of them suddenly goes crazy, we will not be able to control them.”
Song Sanchuan nodded with a heavy heart.
Although they had anticipated that Fugui and the eldest brother would most likely face a fierce battle when they went down to the lake, and even have to be prepared for a one-way trip, the final result of the battle was still hard for him to accept.
He probably didn't want Fugui and the captain to get hurt at all, but now they are both seriously injured, and they may not even wake up or become his enemies. Who can accept such an outcome?
"Four-Eyes, you absolutely must hurry up and develop a drug to kill those microorganisms! We've already found the core of the microorganisms' origin, now it's up to you!!"
Si Wuyai's expression, hidden inside the full protective suit, darkened even further. He kicked Song Sanchuan hard in the buttocks to vent the immense pressure he already felt: "Shut up! I don't need you to say anything!"
"Put Fugui on the bed first so I can check his injuries!"
Researching the drug is important, but from behind, Fu Gui is a bloodied man, and you can even see the bones on his back that were torn apart by the shockwave. Considering how vain and proud he usually is, and seeing him like this now, even Si Wuyai was silent and didn't know what to say.
This person could have hidden under the protection of the state and the army and waited for his fate, but he stood alone at the forefront of the state and the army.
Si Wuyai calmly took out disinfectant, hemostatic bandages, and treatment medicine from his medical kit and applied medicine and bandaged the disfigured Gou Fugui. Song Sanchuan, who was standing next to him, watched as Si Wuyai discarded the clumps of red-stained cotton. His usually smiling eyes also turned slightly red.
He spun around in place several times, feeling as if something was blocking his throat and chest, making it impossible for him to calm down.
He has to do something, he has to do something.
Now that Fugui is injured and unconscious, Si Wuyai is doing the work of two people and bearing immense pressure, and the eldest brother is still injured outside guarding the gate and the inn, how come he's just standing there unable to help at all?!
If he can't do anything, then his coming into this world with this best team is a waste!
Song Sanchuan clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and pondered for a while. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and rushed to the side of the unconscious Gou Fugui.
"Fugui! Fugui! I know you're in pain and don't want to wake up, but you have to get me the mechanical box I asked you to bring! That box is full of mechanical components. I can use that to install a high-altitude signal transmitter. I can use that to contact the higher-ups and the military here!! As long as we can make contact, we can get through this!"
"Fugui, Fugui, did you hear me? Just wake up for a moment, just for a moment!" Song Sanchuan's voice trembled as he spoke. He would rather his brother remain unconscious than suffer such an injury.
No, they must contact the outside world if they want to hold out until the end. This is a global catastrophe, and it is not something that the four of them can solve.
Just as Song Sanchuan was deciding to call for help again in a while, the fingers of the unconscious person lying on the bed suddenly twitched slightly.
The movement was so subtle that no one could detect it, but suddenly a steel box with a diameter of more than two meters appeared in the room—that was Song Sanchuan's mechanical treasure trove.
Song Sanchuan's eyes reddened instantly, and he gave Gou Fugui's head a hard rub, but the force was actually excessively gentle: "Alright, go to sleep. Rest while maintaining your own consciousness. You've finished the first ninety-nine steps, leave the rest to your teammates."
At this moment, Si Wuyai had already applied medicine to Gou Fugui's back and entire body. From behind, this once long-haired beauty looked like a lifeless mummy.
Si Wuyai and Song Sanchuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes. Then they turned back to their workbenches and boxes and began their own battles.
Si Wuyai began using a syringe to extract the original fluid that had nurtured the invading microorganism from the prokaryote.
Song Sanchuan, on the other hand, sat directly on the ground, opened his metal box, and quickly assembled various seemingly sophisticated mechanical parts together.
Since it is difficult to transmit signals in the fog, the goal is to reduce the obstacles encountered by the signal and send it to higher altitudes. Usually, the fog layer is about 550 meters high. Above 550 meters, the fog layer will gradually thin out or even disappear. Therefore, he needs to make his signal device fly smoothly to and hover at an altitude of more than 550 meters.
This allows us to create a simple, manually controllable small metal signal hot air balloon.
His mechanical little tit was destroyed in the final explosion at the bottom of the lake, leaving only the very core. But with a little modification, the core could become the main body of a high-altitude signal hot air balloon.
Song Sanchuan's hands, clad in isolation gloves, moved swiftly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead inside his protective suit.
He needed to be faster, even faster. Every one of his teammates was racing against time. Even if he connected to the other side a minute or a second earlier, the final outcome might have been different.
While Si Wuyai and Song Sanchuan were racing against time, Xie Tianlang in the lobby of the inn downstairs had already repelled three waves of ancient city residents who wanted to rush into the inn.
Clearly, these invading microorganisms felt a deadly threat when they found the invaders' original core, and the entire ancient city under their control naturally erupted into chaos.
Blood was still flowing from his forehead, hands, and legs. Even though he was constantly practicing orthodox Tai Chi techniques and his internal energy was flowing slowly, the intense, uninterrupted guarding had taken a toll on him, and he could feel the immense burden of blood loss and exhaustion.
In addition, he could also feel his body cells fighting against those crazy invaders. The battle inside his body would make him suddenly feel emotional changes and momentary blankness of thought at certain times.
He is indeed being hacked.
Given his severe injuries, he probably won't be able to hold on for much longer.
Whoosh!
Because the city's residents had repeatedly failed to storm the inn despite their frenzied efforts, the killer plants and the residents finally couldn't resist starting to wreak havoc.
Several of the inn's floor-to-ceiling windows were broken, and even if Xie Tianlang had three heads and six arms, he couldn't stop them from rushing in.
"...Tsk."
He couldn't hold out downstairs any longer; he had to... go back to Yuanyuan's side and guard his precious treasure.
Xie Tianlang couldn't help but press his temples, shake his head vigorously, and then strode upstairs in a few large steps.
In front of the suite, he saw the microbial origin, which was three meters in diameter and could not be placed inside the suite. For a moment, his pupils turned black, but he quickly regained his clarity and directly used the high-pressure gun to stab the core of the origin again.
Then, as if he knew this thing could be deformed at will, he grabbed the transparent, crystal-like soft ball with both hands and dragged it, squeezing and pulling it into the suite.
Then, amidst the frantic shouts of the landlady, the suite door slammed shut.
Inside the room, he glanced at Song Sanchuan, who had already assembled the mechanical prototype, and Si Wuyai, who was silent and seemed somewhat wary and worried. Without any expression, he staggered to the bedside and quietly looked at the young man who had been wrapped up like a mummy. He reached out to touch him gently, but quickly withdrew his hand and sat quietly on the floor by the bed without moving.
