"Fortunately, the spoils have already been reviewed by Lady Mixia, and she has chosen the things she is interested in..."

This thought flashed through the mind of the clone Norton. Although he received this bad news, Norton's expression was indifferent. Instead, he said to Dr. Moreau:

"Dr. Moreau, you know that we are short of manpower right now. If you can go and capture the three rats trapped in the sewer, I will provide you with an additional 30% of material supplies during the subsequent laboratory reconstruction work."

Dr. Moreau sneered:

"Fifty-five percent!"

The clone Norton said:

"Forty-five percent. You know, that's my highest authority."

Moro said:

"That's settled then. I never thought that the electromagnetic thruster I just improved could come in handy now!"

…

At this time, Du Yuqi and his companions who were walking in the huge and dirty sewer were surrounded by the wreckage of mechanical spiders, flames, and parts. At the same time, they also heard the hoarse roar coming from outside, as well as a series of metal collision sounds. Of course, the most impressive thing was the sound of the engine turning coming from deep inside the steel body. This sound was like a dying beast still trying its best to squeeze out the last bit of strength in its body.

After a deafening collision sounded, everything returned to silence again. In such an awkward atmosphere, Jet couldn't help but ask:

"Boss, do you know what happened?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Well, I think they know... Those idiots on the Isabella must have discovered our purpose, so they stopped our actions in advance."

Xi couldn't help but say at this time:

"Where exactly are we going now and what are we doing?"

Du Yuqi thought for a moment and said:

"Well, since the other party has already taken measures, they must think we are rats in a cage, and the area we are in is not important, so they should not be in a hurry to hunt us down. Then let's just take a five-minute break, eat something and drink some water, and by the way, I will explain my plan to you."

At this point, Du Yuqi found a screw nearby, sat down and started scratching on the steel plate next to him:

"Well, you see, this cuboid is the Isabella we are on. Strictly speaking, it is a second-generation steel fortress that has absorbed more advanced technology and used more advanced materials found in the abandoned land of Cantwin. All parameters are completely superior to the first-generation steel fortress."

"After studying its structural diagram, I discovered that the Isabella actually has a weakness. However, due to its long-term floating state, this weakness is not valid most of the time. That is the outlet of its sewage pipe."

"Every day, the Isabella produces more than 1,700 tons of toxic waste and garbage that need to be discharged, and where we are now is the outlet of its sewage main! Because the Isabella uses the latest gravity-cancelling module engine, the energy required for its own floating is extremely low. Therefore, in the design concept, the Isabella spends most of its time floating in the air, and supplies will be transported using special supply ships."

"When the Isabella is floating, its sewage pipe outlet is facing directly downwards. Even if there is no precaution here, even if you reach this exit, it is still a desperate situation, because the air below is several thousand meters high! Even if you can fly or have a parachute, you will be chased to death by the aircraft sent by the Isabella if you jump down."

"However, the current Isabella was severely damaged in the previous war. A lot of the core area was destroyed, including the gravity compensation module engine, so it was forced to dock on the ground. Therefore, the sewage pipe outlet, which is usually a dead end, has actually become an extremely convenient way to survive!"

After hearing what Du Yuqi said, Jie Te and Xi suddenly understood and said:

"So that's how it is! Then what did the noise mean?"

Du Yuqi picked up a rectangular box and said:

"This is the Isabella. It's hovering in the air now. So where is the most likely location to be attacked?"

Xi groaned:

"In terms of flying, the Zero Organization's technology should be very powerful, so the biggest threat should come from the ground. So the answer to your question should be the abdomen below, right?"

"Yes." Du Yuqi said in a deep voice: "So when the Isabella was built, a layer of belly armor was specially added to it, considering that the lower abdomen is vulnerable to attack! This layer of belly armor is closed at ordinary times, but it will be retracted into the interior of the Isabella at this time, reducing the wind resistance coefficient of the Isabella and allowing it to fly at a faster speed. Once a possible threat is detected, the belly armor valve will be opened to protect the vulnerable abdomen."

At this point, Du Yuqi paused and said:

"So, the steel collision sound we heard just now was actually the sound made by the emergency closing of the belly armor valve!"

As soon as Du Yuqi said this, Jet was immediately surprised:

"Once the belly armor valve is closed, the entire belly of the Isabella will be covered with armor. Doesn't that mean that the sewage pipe opening is also sealed in disguise?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"That should be the case... But since we are all here, why don't we go and take a look? After all, the Isabella is extremely seriously damaged, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to escape."

Xi narrowed her eyes but hesitated to speak. She felt that Du Yuqi in front of her seemed to have changed a little. Not only had his strength improved by leaps and bounds and became unpredictable for her, but even his temperament had changed a little without her realizing it. So she didn't say what was on her lips.

The three of them continued to move forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the sewage pipe, where three extremely thick pipes converged together. Each pipe was about the size of a bus compartment, and the width of the sewage pipe entrance after converging together reached nearly ten meters!

Of course, at this time the sewage pipe mouth has been tightly closed together, with no seams, and even the sewage at the bottom has gathered into a small pool, and an unpleasant smell is overwhelming.

But Du Yuqi came prepared and had a clear idea of ​​the current situation:

"These guys should have used remote control to close the sewage outlet, but because of a flaw in the original design, the wiring in the sewage outlet control system is easily corroded by chemicals and causes a short circuit. So, under the strong protest of the maintenance workers, an emergency manual opening device was installed here..."

As Du Yuqi spoke, he began to search around, constantly knocking on it with the alloy steel rod in his hand. Soon he found a very inconspicuous lid next to it. After opening it, he found two shining buttons inside. Du Yuqi recalled and pressed the one on the left first, but found no movement. He then pressed the one on the right, and immediately heard a rumbling sound. The drain below began to slowly rotate and open.

At this time, Xi finally couldn't help but said:

"How did you know all this? You were imprisoned in the same cell as us in Black Eight Prison?"

Du Yuqi had nothing to hide, so he told them all about the transactions he had made with Xiong Rishou and others. Moreover, Du Yuqi only asked them for basic maintenance drawings. Only the high-value drawings such as the "gravity offset module engine" drawings were strictly guarded, so it was not difficult for Xiong Rishou and others to get these things.

At this time, after the drain outlet was opened, the accumulated sewage below quickly leaked out, revealing the dark shadows below. These shadows were densely packed and layered, like a large number of tiles neatly stacked together, which looked very strong visual impact.

Jet couldn't help but say:

"Boss, what is this thing? Why is there something like this under the drain?"

Du Yuqi shrugged and said:

"Didn't I just say that? The enemy must have discovered our purpose. In order to prevent us from leaving, they opened the belly armor valve. So what is now sealed below the sewage outlet is naturally the belly armor of the Isabella. In order to alleviate the huge impact force brought by the bombardment from below, there must be gaps between each piece of armor, so the sewage can be discharged without any problem, but people should not even think about passing through."
