Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 265 Waiting for Death (5k)

Mai Shutoku found an alloy door at the end of the passage.

The gate was completely welded shut. The rough but tough welds showed how much the engineer team responsible for closing it back then wanted to completely shut down the nuclear reactor in City 023.

She also saw many small rooms along the way.

Metal walls, thick iron frames, no windows at all, no different from a prison.

Only the drooping unknown vines and the statue of the Virgin hanging on the wall exude a little breath of life.

She guessed that the children cloned by Bunin might have grown up in such a space, drinking the filtered underground river water, eating the paste extruded by the machine, and obeying the only unworthy belief.

They have never seen the outside world at a glance, like mice kept in a cage.

Even if such a place is a paradise for them.

But for those who have seen the outside world, such a "paradise" is a cage.

Mai Shutoku jumped up, pressed against the wall, tapped the pipe lightly with his ninja fingers, and judged by the sound which pipe was not blocked and could lead to the core of the reactor.

Soon she found the right passage.

When he climbed in through the pipe, Mai Shutoku was shocked.

The plasma field containing amazing energy burst into dazzling light in front of her eyes, almost blinding her eyes.

It was a beautiful scene, as stars were born and died before her eyes.

But she quickly gathered her mind and turned her head away.

Staring at the luminous body for a long time, she might really lose her eyesight.

No one expected that those workers actually installed a transparent inner shell on the tokamak device in City 023.

The first-generation deuterium-tritium reactors had to reach temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees.

And this heat flow with a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees is firmly bound by the closed circular magnetic field, staying in the transparent shell, and even makes people feel that they will be reduced to ashes in the heat flow in the next second.

But fortunately, the magnetic field is stable enough, and the quality of the inner shell is also excellent, so the nuclear reactor has not experienced any problems for the time being.

Jiu De Mai looked at the buttons on the console, and as Su Enxi expected, Bunin, a clever fox, installed a new control system for it.

It's not a big problem, the original underlying system can still be kept after the deciphering device given by Su Enxi is removed...

Mai Tokuku's face suddenly darkened.

Most of the buttons on the control panel are locked under the alloy plate and cannot be used. Even the most important output interface is blocked, which means that the USB flash drive cannot be inserted.

Oh shit!Bunin actually added a mechanical lock, so she had to find a way to remove the mechanical lock first.

And Mai Jiude just touched it a little, and he knew that the metal used in the mechanical lock was an alloy with extremely high hardness.

He really has a group of good engineers under him.

Mai Tokuku no longer hesitated, time was passing by every minute and every second, every extra minute, there may be new changes outside.

She went straight to dismantling.

Don't ask her if she has enough professional knowledge, anyway, she takes apart these alloys like an expert.

To sum it up in one sentence.

Those who can be dismantled by technology will be dismantled by technology, and those who cannot be dismantled by technology will be dismantled violently.

There was a clanging sound in the nuclear reactor room.

This old product of the last century let out an overwhelmed scream in her hands.

It didn't take long for her to perfectly remove the alloy plate on the control system. As for the fragments of metal on the ground, it was only a process that must be experienced for legal removal.

After removing the biggest obstacle, the next thing is very simple.

Jiu De Mai inserted the USB flash drive that Su Enxi gave him into the control system.

The deciphering function starts automatically, and the compilation program in the USB flash drive is cracking the underlying password of the control system at an astonishing speed.

Mai Shutoku sat halfway beside the nuclear reactor, his forehead was covered with sweat.

She didn't know whether it was heat or fear.

Probably because of fear, after all, sitting next to a super-sized bomb that may explode at any time, who can not be afraid?

But she didn't have the tension and trembling that fear brings.

And as the progress bar on the screen got closer and closer to the number one hundred, Mai Shutoku's mood became more and more relaxed.

Finally, the green light on the control panel came out.

Mai Shutoku regained his energy and stood up.

Crack the control system, and then just control the reactor, increase the magnetic field, and introduce more hydrogen isotopes, and the power of the reactor will increase to several times the highest calibration value within 5 minutes.

At that time, it will be as hot as the sun, the underground river will be heated to boil and burnt, and the steam station will be the first to explode.

Mai Tokuro took a deep breath.

She wasn't sure if her group would have a chance to escape from City 023 after detonating the reactor, and she didn't even know the situation on the ground.

But this is the only chance.

She took out a syringe with an engraved number from the bag behind her back, and stabbed it into her own vein fiercely.

The first generation of deuterium-tritium reactors had a very serious shortcoming-the release of a large number of fast neutrons.

The neutron bomb is manufactured according to this principle.

And this reactor was soaked in an underground river to reduce neutron radiation.

But when she starts to increase the power of the reactor, the fast neutrons will become active, and hundreds of millions of fast neutrons will penetrate her body.

In a sense, it is equivalent to being hit by hundreds of millions of bullets at the same time.

To withstand such an attack, one must first be physically strong enough.

So Shutoku Mai injected the serum without hesitation.

It is said to be serum, but it is actually dragon blood.

When she was in the Sea of ​​Japan before, she had been injected once, but the blood content of that serum was not as high as this one.

After injecting this serum, even if she survives, she doesn't know if she can turn back into a human again.

Mai Tokuro looked at his arm for two seconds, then slowly pushed the serum into his body.

"This farce is over..."

There are no more auctions, no serum factories, no immortality, just a group of old guys reunited in hell and flames.

After the serum was injected, her hands and feet began to change, and the dragon scales squeezed out her white and delicate skin layer by piece, showing jet black.

The golden pupil also became deep and dazzling.

Mai Tokuku has a hard time judging her mental state.

In addition to being chaotic, she was still chaotic, but she could clearly control her hands to push the power lever on the control panel to the maximum.

Suddenly, the explosion sound like a meteorite hitting the earth spread throughout her eardrums, and her vision became blurred.

……

"Evacuate City 023! Evacuate City 023! The reactor is overloaded! 5 minutes, it will blow up in 5 minutes!"

Su Enxi received a reply from Mai Jiude and contacted other people through special remote communication.

She no longer worried about Jiu Toku Mai, turned around and ran outside.

The detonation time of the nuclear reactor is only 5 minutes, whether 5 minutes is enough for them to run out of the city center of No. 023 is a problem.

"We still have time!"

It was Lu Mingfei who said this.

He descended from the sky, and behind him was a dragon whale kissing the ground slowly. The two collided and made a loud noise.

As a result, the ground of the entire No. 023 city was sunken.

And because city 023 hollowed out the permafrost below the surface, the entire city collapsed at a not-so-slow speed.

If it was normal, Su Enxi and the others would never be able to run faster than the earthquake collapse, and they would end up buried in the ground with that big blood cell.

But it was different with Lu Mingfei.

He can use Time Zero to incorporate a large area around him into the Time Zero Domain. In the Time Zero Domain, as long as he allows Su En and the others to move at normal speed, it is equivalent to gaining about forty times more time.

5 minutes multiplied by forty, two hundred minutes.

At first glance, this time seems to be sufficient, enough time for them to run to the hovercraft.

But there is also a problem.

That is whether Lu Mingfei's mental strength is so durable.

The more high-ranking Yan Ling consumes more energy and mental power, especially the time zero.

With Angers' use of time zero, at most four people can be slowed down for more than ten seconds at the same time.

Let Su Enxi and the others act normally in the time zero field for 5 minutes.

"That's impossible."

Su Enxi, who has an insight into Lu Mingfei's thinking, said while avoiding the construction rubble.

"Five minutes, even if we squeeze you dry, we can't do it."

"It doesn't take 5 minutes. Our speed is a little faster, and half an hour is enough. It is shortened by forty times, and it takes less than 1 minute."

1 minutes, 60 seconds.

It sounds like a very short time, but it is extremely exaggerated to insist on 60 seconds of zero time.

Su Enxi really didn't want Lu Mingfei to take this risk, but the crack behind them was getting closer and closer, and she didn't have time to think of other ways.

"Try it, if you feel exhausted, give up immediately."

Without Su Enxi's consent, Lu Mingfei had already released Time Zero.

Nuo Da's domain covered half of the city in an instant, but it didn't take such a large area to escape City 023 with Su Enxi and the others.

Lu Mingfei reduced the time zero field to about [-] square meters in a less labor-intensive way.

In this field, whether it is Zero, Su Enxi, Christina or Ronald Tang can enjoy forty times the time delay.

If Lu Mingfei is allowed to delay fifty times or sixty times, he can still drive it, but the stamina consumed in that way will increase exponentially, which is not cost-effective, so he only drives forty times the minimum power consumption. zero.

The cracks in the earthquake landslide suddenly slowed down.

Su Enxi could clearly feel that the earthquake wave that was chasing after her without letting go was slowly going away, and she was gradually being left behind.

No matter how many times she has seen it, the power of time zero still makes her sigh.

Although only the breaking speed of the ground within a range of less than [-] square meters has been slowed down, Lu Mingfei's fast running posture is equivalent to indirectly including the ground in a further range on a straight line into the time zero field.

Everything in the outside world was as usual, including Bunin, who fell from the sky, also moved so swiftly.

But in the area they were in, any vibration and shattering slowly spread out on the ground like an old man bending his waist.

Surprisingly, the hovercraft is parked where the auction was originally held.

It didn't even take them 10 minutes to get here, and it took less than 15 seconds to pass outside.

"go!"

Zero was the first to board.

The hovercraft was tightly wrapped in a rainproof cloth and covered with two meters of snow.

It is not the kind of light boat, but a light full-floating landing ship.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the dashboard and knew that it was a product from the Soviet era. It was rugged and rusty.

But the advantage is that the space is large enough, not to mention six people, even if it is ten, there is no pressure.

Zero turned down the ignition valve forcefully, she was very familiar with this antique ship that had been sleeping for an unknown number of years.

Antique let out a high-pitched roar under the fire valve, two powerful air propellers rotated, and the strong air flow completely blown away the snow within 20 meters, forming two flying snow dragons.

The high-pressure air produced by the blower enters the air chamber of the bottom cavity, and the hull slowly rises and falls on the air cushion.

At this time, the building above their heads had begun to collapse, and huge rubble fell to the ground in slow motion.

Zero tensed his face, and slammed on the accelerator, and the hovercraft immediately galloped on the ice like a high-speed drifting racing car, rampaging.

It has to be said that the military products of the Soviet era were too strong, or because Bunin II has been carefully maintaining this big guy.

In short, having such a vehicle at this time is really awesome, and it relieved Lu Mingfei's pressure a lot.

Sirens echoed throughout the city, and columns of hot white gas erupted from every cellar in the streets.

More and more buildings sank into the ground, and the soaring air column broke through the thick snow and ice.

City 023 was completely covered by thick snow and dust.

The ground was trembling, and those Khrushchev buildings in disrepair fell down one after another like dominoes.

The creek has completely thawed and is rushing with billowing steam.

Lu Mingfei neither understands the principle of nuclear reactors nor does he know that there is a boiling underground river deep in the permafrost, but he doesn't need to know these things to see that something more terrifying than a collapse is happening.

I am afraid that it will not be long before the city will completely collapse.

Obviously not long ago, this city that had been buried for many years was still filled with lively and prosperous atmosphere.

The factory blows the whistle, the old building lights up with stars, and the tavern indulges in singing and dancing day and night.

But now it's all gone.

The bronze statue of Lenin on the square was buried underground along with those ancient buildings, and the white steam washed its face, even wiping away the rust spots.

The way it stretched out and fell was like the end of that era.

Relying on the powerful power and speed of the hovercraft, they took less than 10 minutes for the journey they originally planned for half an hour.

But when Zero drove to the edge of No. 023 city, Su Enxi suddenly said loudly.

"There are still long legs, and the long legs haven't come out yet!"

Su Enxi had just received the message from Jiu De Mai, and thought that everything was fine with her, but now it seems that she is in trouble.

"what's the situation?"

It was only then that Lu Mingfei realized that there were fewer people on board, even Christina, who had always said that she was not afraid of death and would perish with Bunin, ran out, but there was no sign of Mai Tokutoku.

Old Tang explained: "She went to activate the nuclear reactor in the underground river, and we are going to blow up that blood cell and city 023."

"Fuck! You guys are really capable of anything." Lu Mingfei, who basically didn't swear, couldn't help cursing angrily at this moment.

Asking Mai Shutoku to start a nuclear reactor is no different from sending someone to death.

Although he has zero knowledge of science, he also knows how dangerous it is for people to come into close contact with nuclear reactors.

"Time is running out. There are still four and a half minutes in real time, and our current position is not absolutely safe. Once a nuclear explosion occurs, we must hide at least two hundred kilometers away to avoid the impact of nuclear radiation." Su Enxi wiped her face tremblingly. Wipe the watch on the right wrist.

There is a warning light on the instrument panel in front of the hovercraft that keeps flashing red, and the pointer of the watch next to it is always firmly pointing to the upper limit.

"Neutron dosimeter, we are being exposed to neutron radiation exceeding the standard."

Zero looked out the window, and the snow and dust filled the air, as if the Siberian snow field was going to swallow them up.

City No. 023 was no longer what they were familiar with. Landmark buildings collapsed one after another, and roads were blocked by collapsed buildings.

Lu Mingfei has no time to hesitate.

It is not a problem to be infected with some nuclear radiation with their physique, but they must not stay in the center of a nuclear explosion.

"I'll go find her, let's continue driving."

Lu Mingfei opened the door of the boat without saying a word, and jumped out facing the wind and snow.

Before Su Enxi could stop her, the tiny figure disappeared into the white snow.

She widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that Lu Mingfei had the courage to return to City 023 at the risk of a nuclear explosion in four and a half minutes.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei was the boss's guest, and he was also the target of their escort on this trip.

Now the escort target ran away by himself, and might even be blown up to nothing.

What will they be then?
Unfavorable work or failure to succeed?

She immediately grabbed Ling who was still slamming on the accelerator in front of her: "My eldest lady, stop driving, go back and pick him up!"

Su Enxi is not a person who likes to act emotionally, she is better at analyzing the situation with her head, but Lu Mingfei jumped off the car halfway, making her analysis useless.

Zero didn't care about Su Enxi's procrastination, and said blankly: "What can we do when we go back now? Do we add a few more burdens to his time, or help him salvage Jiu De Mai's body from the underground river? You calm down!"

She pushed away Su Enxi's hand that was pulling her sleeve.

Su Enxi fell back on the seat of the hovercraft as if she had lost her soul.

Zero looked directly at the snow in front of him, controlled the direction with his hands, stepped on the accelerator with his feet, and said lightly: "The best thing we can do now is to run, and the farther we can run, the better."

"Then what's next? What about the long legs? What about Lu Mingfei?"

Su Enxi couldn't believe that Zero would become so indifferent.

"Trust Lu Mingfei."

Ling looked into the distance, the wind and snow blocked her sight, but she seemed to see that winter again.

The boy stood before her, looking up at the radiance of the stars, waiting to die.
