Chapter 45: Three against one, kill one?
Feng Mu pushed his bicycle into the incinerator. Zhang Hao and the other two stood at the door and did not leave immediately.
Dark No. 1: "Can you trust what this guy says?"
Zhang Hao had no intention of calling the [lame weirdo] for the time being as it might easily alert the enemy.
"He doesn't seem to be lying. A corpse cremator should not be able to discover the secret of the black core. As for the lame man he mentioned, we have to use this guy to lure him out." he said.
Dark No. 1 nodded: "And what about Brother Bin from the Blue Wolf Gang?"
Zhang Hao was a little annoyed. The past few years were very peaceful, but overnight, it seemed as if all kinds of monsters and demons had targeted Black Core.
Could it be that the secret of the black core has been leaked on a large scale?
Zhang Hao frowned and told the two men, "Let's split up. One of you will try to find out what Brother Bin of the Green Wolf Gang is up to. The other one will keep an eye on that guy. I will try to report what happened back to the higher-ups."
The two dark-skinned men nodded at the same time.
Zhang Hao gave another warning: "Act in secret, don't get caught, and don't alert the enemy. The black nuclear issue is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. We have to investigate it thoroughly."
After the work was divided, the three of them took action on their own.
Before leaving, Zhang Hao went to the gate of the incinerator, smoked a cigarette with the security guards, and chatted with them about random things.
…
The day's cremation work passed quickly, and no black cores were harvested today.
When Feng Mu was leaving the factory after get off work and riding his bike past a bush, he felt his back tighten and that feeling of being watched maliciously came back.
"Even if you believe my lies, you still leave someone to monitor me? That's a bit rude~"
Feng Mu continued to ride his bicycle pretending to be unaware, with murderous intent brewing in his heart.
He had too many shady secrets to reveal, so how could he allow a ghost to keep following him? How could he do anything next? While riding his bike, Feng Mu was thinking about how to kill someone without anyone noticing.
After all, this group of people are of a higher rank, so Feng Mu must kill them with one strike, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Before I could come up with a brilliant trick along the way, my bicycle had already stopped in front of the hardware store.
Feng Mu entered the store and, under the strange look of the boss, touched every piece of iron metal on the shelf.
He touched very carefully and gently, as if he was caressing his lover's skin. The shop owner looked at him several times and got goose bumps on his arms.
[Detected metal - pig iron, edible, whether to occupy the new edible slot *1? ][Detected metal - aluminum, inedible. ][Detected metal - brass, inedible. ][Detected metal - pig iron, edible, whether to occupy the new edible slot *1? ][…….][Detected metal - wrought iron, edible, whether to occupy the new edible slot *1? ][Detected metal - rusted iron, edible, whether to occupy the new edible slot *1? ][…….] It took Feng Mu 40 minutes to meticulously touch the metal on each shelf one by one, without missing any corner.
The boss in the corner had a weird look in his eyes at first, but 20 minutes later, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he didn't dare to look at him any more.
He couldn't tell what Feng Mu was doing.
But because he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, he felt a little uneasy.
If Feng Mu hadn't looked like a human being in every way, he would have called the police as a customer in the store was showing signs of abnormality.
Outside the store, a hundred meters away from the door, Dark No. 2 was peering blankly, his left eye flashing a strange light from time to time.
He didn't think it was strange for the surveillance target to touch metal. After all, he himself had a similar hobby. He liked to touch the corpses of ants.
It is similar to what the target is doing now, both are personal hobbies worthy of respect, and have nothing to do with Black Core.
Feng Mu naturally knew that his behavior was a little strange, but compared to other secrets, this quirk did not need to be concealed too much.
It's understandable that the white-collar workers are under great mental pressure and have some strange habits of venting their emotions.
He didn't go to the supermarket to make instant noodles, so the boss had no reason to call the police.
Feng Mu concluded in his mind: "There are four types of iron in the hardware store, namely pig iron, rusty iron, miscellaneous iron, and wrought iron."
There was less variety than he had initially expected.
There is no wrought iron, steel, alloy or the like.
But after thinking about it, Feng Mu figured it out. Forged iron, steel, and alloys should probably be included in the resource management of the city system.
You definitely can’t buy it in a hardware store. You have to go to a higher-end place, and even that requires a certain level of citizenship.
Of course, he didn't need to think that far for the time being. The four types of iron were enough to fill the edible slots of the second-level [Iron Eater].
Feng Mu bent down and picked up the rusty iron nails that filled a box at the bottom of the shelf like trash.
He wondered, "I can understand pig iron, wrought iron, or even miscellaneous iron, but what is rusty iron? Broken and spoiled pig iron?"
"Is this thing edible? It won't poison me, right?"
Feng Mu stroked the rusty iron nail in his hand, and suddenly an idea occurred to him: "The characteristic of pig iron is [plasticity], and I can't guess the characteristics of miscellaneous iron and wrought iron, but the characteristic of rusty iron can't be [tetanus], right?"
Feng Mu was shocked by his own thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible.
If we follow conventional thinking and rank iron from low to high, it should be rusty iron → miscellaneous iron → pig iron → ten-forged iron → hundred-forged iron → steel → … → Yinsha Jiuyou Evil and Resentful Iron.
Feng Mu originally planned to follow this line of thought to find a recipe for the second stage [Iron Eater].
Now, he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. The grade was ranked according to conventional factors such as the density and hardness of iron, but the absorption of characteristics was not a conventional thing.
So this ranking depends on your imagination.
So... Yinsha Jiuyou'e Nieyuantie must be the most powerful one.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Then, Rusty Iron is most likely not the weakest, but will unexpectedly be ranked in the upper position?
The most important thing is that rusty iron is much easier to get than the fragments of Yinsha Jiuyou'e'e'yuan iron. It is safe, cheap, and available in large quantities.
"So, the second-level recipe can be initially formulated as pig iron + rusty iron. Unless this group of black market merchants can give me the materials, well, the difficulty coefficient is a bit high. Anyway, buy all the rusty iron first."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Feng Mu's eyes. He walked back and forth between the shelves and found all the boxes of rusty nails stored in the corners.
"Boss, how much is it?"
Feng Mu put a dozen boxes of rusty nails on the table.
The boss was startled, and seeing Feng Mu's serious expression, he quickly took out a calculator and calculated a super cheap price.
Of course, the boss also did not lose money. No one wanted the rusty nails in the first place, he just piled them in the corner because he was too lazy to deal with them. If someone bought them, he would make a lot of money.
There were a total of about 40 pounds of rusty iron nails, which were inconvenient to carry, so they were finally packed in a sack and tied to the back seat of Feng Mu's bicycle.
Ride all the way home.
While Wang Xiuli was cooking in the kitchen, Feng Mu took the sack into the bedroom and hid it in the closet.
Looking at the sack and basin of iron beads that took up half of the wardrobe, the clothes and pants were squeezed into the corner and shivered.
Feng Mu's desire to find an opportunity to move out and live alone became stronger and stronger.
"Well, as soon as I get the money from Ma Bin, I will go out and find a house to rent. Of course, I have to be wary of him cheating and defaulting on his debts." Feng Mu thought to himself.
then,
He thought for a moment, edited two text messages using Hongmao's mobile phone and sent them to Ma Bin.
——Damn it, that group of black market merchants found me. Did you betray me?
——I take back the last text message. It shouldn’t be from you. You don’t have enough time.
Feng Mu looked at his phone and waited for a quarter of an hour. He thought that Ma Bin must be getting impatient. Did he want to be killed, or did he want the black marketeer to be killed? It was hard to guess. He raised his mouth in a mysterious way and kindly edited a few text messages to remind Ma Bin.
——Damn it, three against one, they have no moral principles.
——I was injured, but I also disabled one of their strongest men. Although I failed to kill him, there are only two of them left who can move in the short term.
——I escaped and prepared to find a place to recuperate.
——It’s impossible for them to find me again. The remaining two people will probably come after you. Be careful and don’t die.
——Hurry up and prepare what I want. The things must be given to me in advance.
