quicksilver blood

Chapter 68
"Good day."

"Good day."

After greeting each other in a jerky undead language, a figure in a black robe and carrying a black suitcase walked quietly in the spacious sewer, passing by a cleaner passing by.

In the next second, vines formed of terribly hot ashes struck silently from behind, easily breaking the cleaner's neck.

Roland took out a small black box from the cleaner's arms and put it on the inner layer of his robe.Afterwards, he opened the suitcase, took out one of the two rows of dense brown-red test tubes on the top floor, and closed the suitcase silently.

There is an opaque colloid in between that is like viscous blood.Through Roland's fingers, he could see a 1 written in green glue on the side of the potion bottle.

Roland pulled out the plug and poured half of it on the cleaner at will.The dark red colloid hung on the clothes and skin, and gradually melted into it at different speeds.

"Four seconds to dissolve in human skin, 12 seconds for clothes..."

Squinting his eyes and counting the time it took for the liquid to melt in, Roland walked forward about 50 meters and poured half of the remaining half of the potion on the ground.

Then Roland walked forward another 50 meters with the bottom of the potion bottle in hand, reached out to re-plug the stopper, and threw it upwards vigorously.

The fragile potion bottle collided with the top of the sewer, and instantly broke with a crisp sound.The viscous dark red colloid stuck to the top of the sewer under inertia and quickly melted in.

"It's all 12 seconds... Would it be faster to dissolve in the living body..."

As if he had come to some effective conclusion, the light in Roland's eyes flickered away.

Then he returned the same way and left the sewer.

This is the powerful explosive that Roland got from the professor after making a deal with him.The quantity is 48, and it is stored in a light-proof container in the form of viscous liquid or colloid.

It can be dissolved in living organisms, masonry buildings and some metals, and maintain the explosive ability within seven days.Under Roland's strong request, the professor reinforced it with the origin, and now it will detonate only after receiving Roland's instructions.

Beyond that, neither power nor anything else is known, and it doesn't have a name.But listening to the professor's tone, it seems to be very powerful.

Roland didn't intend to detonate the entire city directly.This is unrealistic from any angle.

Not to mention that the professor only gave two rows of 48 bottles, and Roland was alone for only one and a half days. He didn't have the time and energy to plant a bomb that could detonate a city—and the Sleeping Mentor didn't want to see those.

But the good news is that in order to facilitate the disposal of sewage and corpses, the sewage treatment system in the City of Fortune is very developed, and there must be a sewer under each building.

In other words, as long as Roland sprinkles these cute and interesting little things on the top of the sewer, when they are detonated by Roland, they will be powerful enough to blow through the top floor.

As long as the detonation is carried out in a suitable batch, if the explosion is powerful enough, the building can be collapsed even without blowing through the ground.In the process of building falling, the gravity of building itself will cause its second destruction.

As for the gradually festering corpses wandering in the sewer, they did not pose any threat to Roland—the little black box that Roland took from the first cleaner after killing him was the key to keeping the walking corpses from approaching him. thing.

Because the priests were hostile in Karal and the status of the druids was too high, many Karalites were unable to invite divine spell professionals to help pray for the dead after their loved ones died.

Therefore, every time night falls, those corpses that have not been treated by divine magic will become slightly demonized.Finally, after the negative energy completely erodes the corpse, they will be resurrected in a new attitude - or fake corpse.

Unlike the situation where the undead forcibly dragged their soul back from the kingdom of the dead to obtain eternal life, the reborn dead in this situation have no consciousness, and will never be able to produce consciousness, and the corpse is gradually festering due to the negative energy filled.What supports their actions is only the instinct of the body.

After being revived as walking corpses, these deceased whose highest pre-life strength could reach the silver level have almost the same combat awareness and force sensitivity attributes as before, and because they have been dead for a long time, their weaknesses in the usual sense have almost disappeared.Not to mention piercing the heart, even cutting off the head would at most make them lose their ability to find enemies.

The only way to kill them is to destroy more than [-]% of their spines, or simply use magic to dispel the negative energy entangled in these dead.

This is the "Kalal's newcomer killer" that Roland lamented when he saw Lve Ying.

The reason why the sewers of the City of Fortune can store tons of walking corpses is all thanks to the ambition of the undead on Ridge Street.

Although the undead look very similar to the walking dead, in fact the gap between them is as far as the Tibetan mastiff to the high imitation model of the Yangtze River No. [-].One of the big differences is that walking corpses rely on negative energy to survive, while undead, although they are undead, rely on positive energy to maintain their mobility.

At the same time, each undead also has the supernatural ability to absorb negative energy through contact and store it in the body as a means of attack, although they are worried that this will accelerate the decay of their bodies and rarely use it.

In other words, when the undead and the walking corpse come into contact, the undead can cause huge damage to the walking corpse that is almost equivalent to the effect of instant death, and all the attacks of the walking corpse cannot cause fatal injuries to the undead.

Under the same restraint as a natural enemy, although the walking dead are not intelligent, they will still instinctively avoid contact with the undead.Using this phenomenon, although the undead cannot manipulate the walking corpses, they can at least drive them away like sheep.

The undead on Ridge Street immediately had a simple but effective plan after he knew that there were thousands of walking corpses in the sewers of the City of Fortune: he planned to use the sewers as the lairs of the walking corpses and hoard a large amount of walking corpses inside. corpses, and when the number reaches a critical point, release these walking corpses as a legion to dominate the entire city of wealth.

After he'd had a hard time getting the city's cleaners into his streets, he'd sealed off the bits and pieces of himself—I mean fingernails or strands of hair—so that They were sent to these cleaners in the form of a black box, telling them to carry this "alchemy item" with them to avoid the attack of walking corpses.

Since then, when these cleaners clean the sewers, they don't need to clean up these walking corpses, and these walking corpses will avoid them by themselves, which greatly improves the survival rate of the sewer cleaners.

And because the sewage hadn't flowed back, other people in Fortune City subconsciously thought that the walking corpses in the sewers were still being cleaned up as usual.No one realizes that the number of walking dead stopped decreasing two years ago.

Until the right time comes, these walking corpses will become legions and rush to the ground, becoming a force that cannot be ignored.

But it's a pity that the undead has a sharp enough vision, but has an indecisive heart.In his previous life, he didn't even live until the city of wealth was trampled down by the army from the ground. He was drained of life by the silent wizard, filled with sand and glue, and sank to the bottom of the river.

That's right, the undead are indeed immortal, but this does not mean that they cannot be permanently sealed with a circular seal.For this kind of stuff that doesn't have more than [-] points of strength, even simply killing them and pouring cement can make them invisible for hundreds of years.

"The arrangement that you couldn't activate... let me see it this time."

Roland murmured as he took the last step and came from the sewer to the ground - a dark and deserted alley.

The corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, forming a happy smile.

Roland carefully took out a silver badge from the suitcase, with a strange pattern imprinted on it: it seemed to be a crosshair-like pattern obtained by connecting the tips of four "T".

"Unity, mutual assistance, equality, and reproduction—" Roland spoke, speaking the secret words set by the professor.

"—Number one, detonate immediately."
