Cataclysm King - #67 - Chapter 67: explode

  Chapter 67 Explosion

   “Boom!”

  A violent explosion shook the entire dormitory for corpse collectors.

  The special green flame of the demon-breaking mechanical bomb turned into a fire tornado and sprayed out from room 504 in a directional manner. The terrifying annihilation energy instantly reduced several nearby rooms and the fences in the corridor to ashes.

   And the movement was so loud that even Ji Xun, who was in the underground morgue, opened his eyes suddenly: “Someone is here!”

  There are still about one-third of the psychic medium in his hand.

  In the dark, he muttered: “It’s a pity, if you come later, it will be completely swallowed up.”

   And there’s no point in thinking about it now.

  Ji Xun heard the explosion and didn’t panic, nor did he choose to evacuate immediately.

  The situation outside is unclear, and there are too many uncertain factors for rushing out.

   Besides, this morgue was an excellent place where he had already observed the escape route.

  Ji Xun didn’t have any nervousness. Hearing the explosion, he just quietly hooked a pull ring connected with a booby trap to the iron cabinet.

   Then he poured a bottle of [Night Vision Potion] and a bottle of [Hearing Enhancement Potion] in succession.

  Both bottles of medicine are very expensive, but fortunately, they are spoils of war, so it doesn’t hurt to use them.

  He gave himself another injection of [Awakening Potion] on his thigh, this is to prevent himself from being blown out in a while.

  Then he took out a card with a pattern of white armor and activated it with the power of the ice spell: “Solution!”

   Looking again, he was already wrapped in a set of tightly protected Frost Knight armor.

   This is the magic of equipment cards.

  The armor is sealed in the card in a way similar to dimensionality reduction, but it is not flat.

  As long as you are familiar with the structure of the equipment card in advance, it will be like magic when you activate it, and you can almost change the outfit with one card.

   This kind of armor is too heavy, Ji Xun’s current strength can’t be used in battle, and it’s perfect for life-saving right now.

   After finishing all this, he will wait in peace in the morgue.

Normally.

  The explosion upstairs was so loud that anyone who came would guess that the person who got the psychic fled in fright.

  Although the body collector is inconspicuous, he is still a non-staff company of the “Golden Oak Security Company” after all, and his status as an old **** believer is not visible, so he may not dare to stay more.

   Ji Xun hid in the morgue, and there was a chance that he could escape this crisis directly.

   But he didn’t take any chance that the other party would not come.

  [Secret Cause Psychic] This kind of thing is a key item in the ritual of communicating with the gods. I didn’t find it last time, so I will definitely pay more attention this time.

   What’s more, it has already exploded, and the psychic confirmed that it is here.

  There are only two places where there are psychic breaths, upstairs and the morgue.

  The old-timers would come to the morgue to take a look at those old-timers who were unwilling to give up.

   As expected.

   Not long after waiting, there were soft footsteps in the corridor.

  Ji Xun lowered his heartbeat.

  No outsiders will enter the morgue in the middle of the night. Even if they come in because of work, they will first hear the sound of the corpse cart.

  So the person who came could only be the guy who detonated the bomb just now.

  The morgue was very quiet, and the hearing potion allowed Ji Xun to distinguish the subtle vibrations in the air.

  He identified carefully, and found the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor, and guessed in his heart: “There is only one person?”

   Thoughts together.

  Ji Xun thought of more than just running for his life.

   He didn’t want to lose this last third of the medium.

  If possible, he also wants to kill this enemy.

  Ji Xun heard footsteps approaching, and the other party seemed to have noticed something, and stopped cautiously.

  Almost at the same time, Ji Xun pulled the detonating ring without hesitation.

   In fact, it was not long after the “epidemic doctor” Hessen came to the corpse collector’s dormitory of the 18th team.

  The three people who had been observing the Yanbian Clinic from the tower on Sequoia Street also came quietly.

  As soon as they arrived, they happened to see the explosion in the body collector’s dormitory.

   Xie Guozhong’s eyes reflected the strange fire that exploded in the body collector’s dormitory, and he understood everything.

He clicked his tongue in amazement, and said to himself: “It should have been thought of earlier. If those field agents found ‘something’ in the Redwood Street stronghold, they wouldn’t have no news at all. Then the only ones who came into contact with the corpses were those The corpse collector.”

   But that being said, without seeing it with his own eyes, who would have thought that the “corpse cleaner” would make such a big deal?

  He smiled and said with emotion: “A master, you actually cheated the world.”

The mushroom head looked at the flames, but reported the signal of the bomb in one bite, and muttered: “Looking at the power and the color of the flames, it should be the ‘TK2 military mechanical magic-breaking bomb’ produced by the Higgs Military Factory. Can there be a channel There are not many chambers of commerce that have obtained this thing. If you want to check, you can go to the black market in Innocence City.”

  Assistant Awen didn’t understand either: “Captain, does this mean that there are experts in this corpse collection team?”

“Um.”

Xie Guozhong nodded: “This is the ‘third party’ in this incident I mentioned earlier. What the Silver Moon cultist was looking for was taken by a corpse collector here. And that guy guessed that someone would come to the door, That’s why I made such a touch trap. That’s why the remnants of the old days are gone.”

  The two assistants Mushroom Head and Awen were also very puzzled, “How can the body collector be such a master?”

Xie Guozhong said: “Now it seems that the body collector may be just a disguised identity. Its purpose is for the thing in the Silver Moon Sect stronghold. After all, only the body collector and Golden Oak’s field agents can get in touch with the scene. And borrowing the body collector Only by being able to contact the scene as a person can you get that ‘thing’ without anyone noticing it. Tsk tsk. It’s been a long time since I came across such an interesting case.”

Mushroom Head obviously didn’t understand, and looked like a curious student: “Ah, but the captain, if there is such a ‘corpse collector’, then how did he know that the secret stronghold of the Silver Moon Sect is on Sequoia Street, and he happens to be a corpse collector in this team? People? We didn’t know this in advance, could it be that Golden Oak also has his informants?”

   “No, no, no.”

Xie Guozhong made no secret of his admiration: “His news did not come from Golden Oak. Now that we have reached a conclusion, you will find that the three secret strongholds of the Silver Moon Sect were exposed this time. Director.”

  The two assistants couldn’t believe it when they heard it: “Huh?”

  Xie Guozhong said: “Our informants didn’t reveal any information before, but Golden Oak suddenly launched a siege. That is to say, the senior management of the security company is also very likely to have obtained clues temporarily.”

   Awen also understood what she said, and said, “Captain, you mean that someone provided accurate clues and waited for Golden Oak to wipe out the stronghold. Then he waited to find that thing?”

   “Yes. Only this possibility can explain everything.”

Xie Guozhong nodded, and said again: “And just got the latest news, two Yinyue strongholds in Xicheng and Nancheng were also discovered. The time when these two strongholds were discovered was very clever. It was later than the Hongshan District in Beicheng. Now look at the explosion It’s just a way for the body collector inside to buy time for himself to share the pressure. Tsk tsk, it’s really clever. With the strength of the second level at most, it’s so conceited to dare to take the idea of ​​​​the Silver Moon Sect. I still I’m really more and more curious about the guy inside.”

  Mushroom head tilted his head, as if he had spotted Hua Dian, “Captain, how do you know that he is at most Tier 2?”

  Xie Guozhong said: “Since that person used so many means to achieve his goal, it naturally shows that his own strength is not strong and he can only use tricks. Moreover, he also needs to borrow the strength of the Golden Oak Security Company, and there is a high probability that he has no special background.”

  Mushroom Head seems to understand.

  Awen rolled her eyes and said, “But it all triggered an explosion. People must have escaped.”

  Xie Guozhong’s eyes flashed brightly, he shook his head and said: “Not necessarily. Ordinary people may indeed run away. But I don’t think that guy will definitely run away due to his behavior style.”

Mushroom Head also analyzed: “Don’t run? If it’s just a bomb of this level, it may be able to kill a first-level curse card master. But that Silver Moon cultist is a second-level mysterious department [mortuary forensic doctor], and he is also proficient in the forbidden magic technique. Absolutely can’t die.”

  Awen obviously agrees with this analysis: “Yes. What else can I do if I don’t run away?”

   “I can’t understand it either.”

  Xie Guozhong narrowed his eyes slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and said casually in a joking tone: “Maybe he wants to kill the people who are chasing him? Who knows?”

He turned and said: “Although I don’t know why that guy took that ‘thing’. But when you can see the whole plan, you can find that this guy has a kind of almost pathological conceit. Bet your life that you are absolutely No mistakes, the whole process is to use the smallest chips to win the biggest gains, pure gambler mentality. But if there is any mistake in any link, he may fall short, or even die. Of course, from the ending point of view, his plan is also worthy This kind of conceit. So since that guy can guess that someone is coming to the door, he is naturally sure that he will be able to retreat unscathed. You will know after watching it.”

   That is, the voice has not yet fallen.

  The second explosion sounded again.

   This time, it was underground!

  Like an earthquake, the whole block trembled slightly.

  Looking at the second explosion from the morgue, Xie Guozhong twitched his eyes slightly, and said in a strange tone: “Hey, it’s not really what I think.”

  PS. I am not very satisfied with the plot later, I deleted all the saved manuscripts and then rewrote them. The content of the plot is not advanced today, so I will deal with the details, sorry everyone.
