Chapter 30 Burning Stone - Energy Stone
When Xie Liang woke up again, it was already dark. He got up and walked towards the living room.
Everyone was sitting in the living room munching on corn. The obese trio looked thinner. Xie Liang walked over, found a stool, sat down, and joined them in munching on corn.
Wen Meng chewed some corn and said to Lu Bubu, "I'll go with you three tonight. I feel a lot lighter."
Fan Ze looked at him: "You? I think it's better to forget it."
Xie Liang chewed some corn and said, "We may have to use our physical strength to solve some problems tonight. If you want to come, you can wait for us in the bushes nearby."
Lu Bubu took over the conversation: "Young man, you are right. Just wait in the bushes outside. If the door can be opened tonight, it will probably appear near the slaughterhouse."
Mu Jin took out the ID card and handed it to Lu Bubu: "Take this, it might be useful. There should be a chip in the card."
Lu Bubu reached out and took the certificate: "Well, time is running out. We have to go there quickly after we eat."
After Xie Liang finished chewing a corn, he stretched and then followed everyone to the slaughterhouse.
It was already past eight in the evening, and the sky had fallen completely dark. They were the only people walking on the street. After dark, the pig monsters seemed to rarely go out.
After walking for a while, Li Ruohan shouted breathlessly behind Xie Liang: "Cousin, cousin...wait for me!"
Lu Bubu, who was walking in front, heard it and had no choice but to slow down.
The people walking in front were waiting as they walked, stopping and starting, and the team was not moving very fast, but the obese trio was still left far behind the team.
After hesitating for two or three hours, they finally arrived at the fork in the road leading to the slaughterhouse.
"Mu Jin, you stay here and watch these three fat guys. My brother and I will go over first." Lu Bubu said to Mu Jin.
"Hide well and don't get discovered by the pig monsters. Although they are clumsy in movement, they are very strong." Xie Liang warned.
Wen Meng made an OK gesture to Xie Liang and waved to signal them to go ahead without worry.
After a while, they arrived at the dense grass next to the white bungalow.
Not far away, two pig monsters holding electric batons were pacing back and forth in front of the bungalow door, as if they were patrolling. Through the glass windows of the bungalow, you could vaguely see two pig monsters napping on the table inside.
"The number of pig monsters is twice as much as last night, and the lights in the two buildings are still on. Do we have to wait until they all leave before we take action?" Lu Bubu asked in a low voice.
"Well, let's observe first." Xie Liang said.
The three of them hid in the bushes and waited for a long time. Seeing that it was still early for the lights in the two buildings to go out, they returned to the bushes where Hibiscus was.
Those people looked at Xie Liang and the others with confusion on their faces. Wen Meng asked, "What's going on? Why are you back again?"
"It's not a good time to take action now. There are too many pig monsters. We have to wait a little longer." Lu Bubu explained to Wen Meng and the others. After listening, they nodded in understanding.
Mu Jin pointed at the crescent moon in the sky and said, "Look at that moon!"
Several people looked in the direction that Mu Jin pointed, and saw that the edges of the waning moon in the sky were scarlet and emitting a faint red light. They had never seen such a scene before.
"I've been staying in that room for the past few days, completely isolated from everything that happened in this copy. It wasn't until I saw the moon that I realized this is a cruel alien world." Mu Jin said in a sad tone.
Xie Liang said: "When we were walking back last night, the moon was still normal."
"Can we go back?" asked Mu Jin.
"Of course we can. As long as we destroy the engine, the machines in these two buildings won't be able to operate, and then the door should appear." Lu Bubu scratched his head and said, then complained, "Damn it, there are so many mosquitoes, why are they only biting me? Don't you guys feel anything?"
Hibiscus looked at him and shook her head.
Li Ruohan looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, I'm itchy too. A mosquito bit me. Woo woo woo..."
Lu Bu was speechless for a moment.
"I don't feel any mosquitoes. Maybe you two smell so good that the mosquitoes only choose to bite you two." Wen Meng joked.
Everyone waited in the bushes until late at night.
In the early hours of the morning, the lights in the two buildings finally went out one after another.
"It's time to go now, let's go." Lu Bubu said.
"Wait a little longer, they haven't gone far yet." Xie Liang said.
Half an hour later, the pig monsters left one after another and disappeared without a trace. Even two of the four pig monsters guarding the bungalow left.
"We have to hurry over, those tiger monsters will come out soon." Lu Bubu said.
They came to the window of the bungalow and saw the two pig monsters inside still sleeping soundly.
The three of them gently pushed the door open and entered. Xie Liang and Lu Bubu carefully picked up the electric batons hanging on the explosion-proof wall and continuously shocked the necks of the two pig monsters. The two pig monsters were knocked unconscious in their sleep.
"We have to throw them into the grass outside to avoid being discovered by other pig monsters." Xie Liang suggested.
Xu He and Lu Bubu each dragged a pig monster out and threw them into the dense grass nearby. Then, Xu He took out his black sword and stabbed the two pig monsters several times before returning.
When they came back, the three of them took the elevator in the bungalow down to the basement.
The basement was spacious and bright, with a thick round pillar on each side of the door. The three of them squatted behind the pillars, waiting for the white tiger inside to appear.
"Why haven't they come out yet?" Lu Bubu retracted his head to observe and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door in front of him made a "beep" sound, and eight agile white tigers walked out one after another.
They walk upright like humans, and their limbs, which are shaped like human limbs, are covered with muscles and look full of strength.
Seeing that the stone gate was about to close, Xu He wanted to rush out to stop it before it closed, but was grabbed by Lu Bubu's shoulder.
Lu Bubu took out the certificate Mu Jin gave him and motioned Xu He to check it.
"Look at this, and then look at what's hanging around their necks. Aren't they the same?" Lu Bubu said in a low voice.
Xu He immediately understood and gave up the idea of rushing out.
At this moment, the white tiger walking at the end suddenly turned around, its nose twitching constantly, sniffing the scent while walking towards the cylinder where they were hiding.
At the critical moment, the white tiger walking in front urged the lagging white tiger to hurry up, and said that they should go to its home for a drink later, as it had killed some delicious two-legged insects.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Xie Liang finally felt relieved. After the tiger monsters left, they walked to the sensor in front of the door.
Lu Bubu placed the ID card in his hand against the sensing area of the sensor. Then, the sensor made a "beep" sound, and two sturdy white doors slowly opened from the middle to both sides.
As soon as they walked in, the sensor light in the room came on.
The entire basement was filled with densely packed chains and gears, slowly turning. On either side were cylindrical control consoles with numerous buttons of various colors.
The three of them walked towards the middle corridor. The further they went in, the higher the temperature became.
After a few minutes, Lu Bubu and Xu He were sweating profusely, while Xie Liang was only sweating slightly.
The bag around his waist felt slightly cold, which Xie Liang found strange, so he opened the bag and looked for something.
Soon, he was surprised to find that the coolness came from the blue gown. The gown's silky and cool material dissipated the heat from his hands, so he took it out and put it on.
When Lu Bubu saw that Xie Liang suddenly put on an extra piece of clothing, he was puzzled and reached out to touch the long gown Xie Liang was wearing.
"Oh! It's so cool! Brother, where did you get this clothes? It can actually protect you from high temperatures! Let me feel it too!" As he said that, Lu Bubu squeezed towards Xie Liang.
The three of them walked further in, and the temperature in the corridor became extremely high. Xu He's skin was flushed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. It was obvious that he was almost at the limit of his endurance.
Finally, because the temperature was too high, the three decided that Xie Liang would go in first wearing a long gown to check the situation, and then they would discuss how to destroy the underground control room after he came out.
At the end of the corridor is a stone chamber without a door. The four walls are made of densely packed gears and chains, all of which are turning slowly.
There is a cylindrical stone platform in the center of the stone chamber, on which is suspended a thumb-sized stone that is flashing red light. This stone looks like the core of the stone chamber.
The entire stone chamber was filled with a strong smell of blood. The ground was covered with lines consisting of many palm-wide grooves, and red liquid flowed in each groove.
Xie Liang raised his foot to step into the stone chamber, but was blocked by an invisible resistance, as if there was an invisible barrier in the stone chamber.
He went back and told Lu Bubu and Xu He about the situation in the stone chamber.
After hearing this, Lu Bubu said in surprise: "That should be the burning stone!"
"Is it the kind of stone you said that can increase your strength when eaten?" Xie Liang asked.
"Yes, can you take it out?" Lu Bubu asked.
Xie Liang shook his head: "I can't get in."
"Let's ignore it for now and just blow up this place." said Lu Bubu.
Xie Liang nodded: "Well, let's go out and hurry up to get some gasoline."
