Chapter 84 Purification
Gu kept muttering over and over again: "The God of Disaster will punish you."
"The God of Natural Disaster will punish you... The God of Natural Disaster will punish you..."
As he spoke, both of his pupils rolled up and moved rapidly, and he fell into a state of delirium, which was somewhat horrifying.
Gu Nian frowned and asked Chi Qin to find an empty room to imprison Gu in.
She gave the spirit pearl to Xu Can and Zhang Xiaohong.
Zhang Xiaohong picked up the spirit bead and examined it carefully.
No one knows what Gu did to this spiritual bead. Now the entire surface of the spiritual bead is covered with a layer of black mist, and it no longer has its previous gorgeous and colorful appearance.
Zhang Xiaohong immediately tested the spiritual pearl.
Holding a bunch of complicated instruments, she fiddled with them for a long time, and finally told Gu Nian: "The energy in this spirit bead is locked by this layer of black fog, which should be the secretion of some kind of creature. Give me some time, I should be able to break the blockade of this layer of black fog."
To put it bluntly, this spirit bead is just like the spirit crystal in the body of an evolved beast, containing a large amount of pure energy. But now the spirit bead is locked by this layer of black fog, and the energy inside cannot be used.
Zhang Xiaohong must make an energy-stimulating device to break the blockade of the black fog.
"To make such an energy excitation device, we must use a large amount of spirit crystals and mutant materials," said Zhang Xiaohong.
Xu Can answered without hesitation: "Don't worry about the loss, just do it."
Xu Can seemed to be very concerned about this dragon, and wanted to do his best to save it.
Gu Nian's heart moved, and he asked Xu Can: "Do you have any connection with this dragon?"
Xu Can did not hide anything and told Gu Nian frankly: "When the Ancheng earthquake hit, my daughter was trapped in a building that was about to collapse, and the ceiling was about to fall down. If Bai Long had not appeared and stopped the earthquake, my daughter might not have waited for rescue at all."
"It saved my child, so naturally I have to do my best," Xu Can concluded.
Gu Nian didn't expect that Xu Can already had a child. She could understand the significance of saving a child to a mother. No wonder Xu Can had been trying so hard to save Bai Long. On the one hand, it was out of a sense of responsibility to stop Ancheng from being attacked by Bai Long, and on the other hand, it was also because a mother wanted to repay her gratitude.
Zhang Xiaohong took the spirit bead and went back to Noah's laboratory with Xu Can.
Gu Nian thought of what Gu said.
The messenger of God has predicted that the God of Disaster will bring down divine punishment again.
Does this mean that acid rain will continue to occur?
Thinking of this, Gu Nian immediately asked the Aurora team to collect materials to reinforce the roof and window gaps.
Chi Qin took people to buy glass, cement, stone, corrosion-resistant stainless steel and other materials, while Tu Jing led another team to reinforce the roof.
The roof of the building had been corroded by acid rain and had to be repaired with cement and then reinforced with stone. The surface was then covered with glass panels, a material that is resistant to sulfuric acid corrosion. As for the precious corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it was used to reinforce the exterior walls.
The sea monster skins brought from Haicheng were cut into strips and embedded in the window gaps to prevent acid rain from drifting in through the gaps and corroding the room from the inside.
The thick skins of the monsters that the Aurora team had killed outside the city were also processed uniformly. The skins of these monsters were highly resistant to acid rain and were excellent protective materials. Such materials could not be wasted and were uniformly processed into protective clothing.
Lu Yuan had never thought that the woman she brought to the gathering was such a powerful evolver. She injured Gu and captured him, and she was also beaten away by the woman. When she first arrived at the camp of the Aurora team, she was very scared, fearing that Gu Nian would kill her to silence her.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nian just didn't allow her to leave, and other than that, he didn't seem to intend to hurt her. Apart from being unable to move freely, her situation could be said to have improved significantly.
Before, Lu Yuan could only wander around in the open air and even had no place to stay in Ancheng, but now she can live in a room with a roof and sleep peacefully at night. This is already heaven for her.
Lu Yuan realized that maybe she had hit upon a great fortune. After seeing the situation clearly, she immediately changed her strategy and quickly abandoned her belief in the God of Calamity. She decided to join the Aurora Team.
Lu Yuan was a very perceptive girl. She knew that she was an outsider, and asking about the Aurora Team was not a way to fit in. It would be better for her to do more work, such as cleaning, helping with laundry, and mending clothes.
Seeing that the Aurora team was going to use monster skins to make protective clothing, Lu Yuan volunteered to help. Her deceased parents ran a tailor shop, so she knew how to make clothes. She cut the monster skins into pieces and made protective clothing that fit well and looked good.
Gu Nian took one look and tacitly agreed to her help.
Chi Qin had just come from Jiangcheng and brought a large amount of supplies, including food and medicine. Gu Nian checked the supplies and asked Chi Qin to prepare enough water, electricity, oxygen generators and air filtration equipment.
The preparations took two days, and two nights later, the second round of acid rain arrived.
This time the acid rain came silently, and it only started dripping in the middle of the night.
Gu Nian heard the noise and got up to go to the living room to check the situation.
Tu Jing was already dealing with the situation in the living room. She and Chi Qin took turns keeping watch, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.
"How is it now?" Gu Nian asked.
Tu Jing said: "There are team members guarding the fourth floor. The outer wall has begun to corrode, but it can still hold up. The roof is the most seriously corroded. Although there are glass panels blocking it, acid rain will flow down through the gaps. The roof of the fourth floor may collapse, and then it will retreat floor by floor. The windows are fine, blocked by sea monster skin, and there are no signs of corrosion yet."
"Okay, keep an eye on the situation and call me if anything happens." Gu Nian said.
She went back to her room to continue sleeping. Her subordinates would notify her if anything happened. In this situation, she should get enough rest so that she would have enough energy to do the work.
Not everyone can be as lucky as Gu Nian.
That night, many people woke up to the sound of rain and dared not fall asleep again.
The last acid rain corroded more than half of the roofs of many buildings in Ancheng, and many people took chances and did not carry out repairs. After all, it would cost a lot of money.
Then when the acid rain started falling again, everyone regretted why they had taken such a chance and not reinforced their roofs.
Will the unreinforced roof collapse completely in this acid rain, and then the people in the house will have to face the acid rain directly?
If the person is awake, he can still move downstairs, but if he falls into a deep sleep, he will probably die.
But the outer wall is more dangerous than the roof. Under the erosion of acid rain, small holes gradually appear on the outer wall of the house, and the gaps in the windows are getting bigger and bigger. Acid rain drifts into the house, making the interior no longer safe.
People could only move wardrobes and metal cabinets around to block the gaps and pray that the rain would stop as soon as possible.
Those who live in bungalows are the worst off.
Gu Nian fell into a deep sleep. Having experienced many natural disasters, her mental state has become stronger. She can sleep even when faced with a big problem.
After waking up, Gu Nian felt refreshed and full of energy.
She went to the living room to check the situation.
The rain outside has been drizzling and is about to stop.
Chi Qin became the one guarding the living room, and Tu Jing went to catch up on his sleep.
Chi Qin told her: "Boss, luckily you let us stock up on oxygen concentrators and those air filters."
She patted her chest, looking relieved, and said, "This acid rain is even heavier than last time, bringing a lot of acidic gases."
Acidic gases? Has the harm of this acid rain disaster expanded again?
Gu Nian sat next to the radio and listened to the radio with Chi Qin.
The second round of acid rain brought devastating disaster to Ancheng.
Many buildings were already heavily corroded in the first round of acid rain, and now they are experiencing a second round of acid rain, with roofs collapsing and holes in the exterior walls, killing countless people. Not only that, as the acid rain gets heavier, a large amount of acidic gases are also appearing in the air. These acidic gases can penetrate anywhere, drifting into the house through corroded windows and cracks. Once inhaled, they will burn the lungs and corrode the fragile human body directly.
Throughout Ancheng, desperate cries echoed all night long.
The Aurora team also used sea monster skin to block the window gaps, and used air filtration devices to continuously circulate the air, and then used oxygen generators to supply oxygen, thus avoiding the harm of acidic gases.
In the morning, the rain finally stopped. In the afternoon, the acidic gas dissipated, and the members of the Aurora team finally opened the windows to get some fresh air.
The entire city of Ancheng had gradually begun to fall into a dead silence. In the acid rain, plants and animals that could not hide in shelters died completely, and the city's ecology suffered a devastating blow.
Even with the protection of planetary consciousness, the acid rain disaster caused such devastating damage. Gu Nian could not imagine what the Blue Water Planet would look like when there was no protection from planetary consciousness.
She became more and more eager to complete the task.
At this time, she finally received a message from Xu Can. Zhang Xiaohong finally made an energy-stimulating device, and the energy in the spirit bead can be used. Xu Can asked Gu Nian to go to the wilderness tomorrow morning to look for the evil dragon.
Finally there is good news.
Early the next morning, Xu Can and Zhang Xiaohong arrived at the temporary camp in Aurora. Gu Nian gathered the people and they set off together.
At this time, there are only twelve days left before the task deadline given by the system.
Eighty kilometers east of the outskirts of Ancheng, there is a huge lake. It is said that after the white dragon left the underground palace, someone once saw the white dragon bathing in this lake.
Gu Nian and his group have now arrived at the lake.
Zhang Xiaohong set up the energy stimulation device and placed the spirit bead in it.
The black mist on the surface of the spirit bead completely dissipated, and it emitted brilliant white light again. Strangely enough, when the spirit bead glowed, a gentle wave spread out in all directions, and everyone present felt that their worries were swept away and they felt refreshed.
Zhang Xiaohong explained: "This device not only stimulates energy, but also amplifies the unique force field of the spirit bead. If the white dragon senses its companion spirit, it may come over. If not, I'm afraid we can only look for it in the wilderness."
Everyone prayed in their hearts, hoping that the spirit pearl could really summon the dragon. But is this really possible?
Can the spirit bead really summon a dragon?
Gu Nian also became nervous. She held her breath and prayed silently.
Finally, a hoarse hissing sound was heard in the wind, followed by the sound of breaking air. The evil dragon circled in the air, staring at the spirit pearl quietly.
It was the white dragon. It sensed the aura of its companion spirit bead and came over.
After just a few days of not seeing the dragon, it looked even worse than before. It was covered in blood, with disgusting tumors all over its purple skin, and strange tentacles growing all over its body. It looked like a monster that was randomly pieced together. How could it look like the divine creature that first awakened from the underground palace?
The evil dragon's huge pupils turned around, and the blood-red pupils were filled with brutal murderous intent.
Sensing the dragon coming, the spirit pearl suddenly shone brightly, projecting a bright white light onto the evil dragon. With the help of pure life energy, the blood color in the evil dragon's pupils faded and gradually turned into a bright yellow. The evil dragon's eyes gradually became clear.
But then, a hint of blood crept up its pupils again. The evil dragon raised its head and let out a painful roar. The two forces tore at its body. It even began to tear its own scales with its claws, trying to scrape out the tumor under its skin!
Dirty blood flew everywhere, and the tumors were shattered all over the ground.
It works! Gu Nian was overjoyed. It seemed that this spirit bead could indeed purify the strange energy in the dragon's body! Zhang Xiaohong understood and continued to debug the device she developed, intending to completely stimulate the energy in the spirit bead.
At this moment, several figures rushed out from the depths of the wilderness and ran straight towards the evil dragon.
The leading man still retained his human appearance, but the three following him had become half-human, half-beast monsters just like Gu.
These people were obviously tracking the evil dragon. When they saw the evil dragon being purified by the spirit pearl, they took out a bottle of black liquid without hesitation and quickly poured it on the evil dragon!
They were extremely fast. As soon as they appeared, they poured the black liquid directly into the dragon's body. Gu Nian and the others had no time to react. By the time they reacted, Gu Nian immediately rushed forward and was about to stop them.
But it was too late.
As soon as the black liquid touched the dragon's body, the dragon's mind was completely controlled by the divine liquid again, and it bit Gu Nian and the others fiercely. They were blocked for a few seconds, and the dragon took advantage of this gap to take these people away to the wilderness. The huge dragon body flew high into the sky and quickly disappeared into the sky.
