Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 113 Laboratory Explosion (Subscription)

Su Lun and Kai evacuated on motorcycles according to the predetermined route, and changed to another locomotive in the middle, and walked for a while.

They haven't been caught up for so long, which means that their finishing work has been handled very cleanly.

In the first stage of the robbery, nothing went wrong.

But while riding, Kai felt that the direction of the motorcycle was a little unstable, and he muttered: "Hey Su Lun, why do I think the motorcycle is a little wobbly today? Is it too heavy and crushed."

In fact, Su Lun noticed the abnormality earlier, and the feeling came quickly. Kai was only halfway through speaking, and Su Lun's expression changed instantly: "Get off the bus!"

He didn't explain more, just took out the folding bulletproof plate, and the two blocked it together.

The next moment, in the direction of the barren park a few kilometers behind them, a thousand-meter-high mushroom cloud suddenly popped up!

As if something was about to emerge from the ground, it rolled violently, causing people to stand unsteadily.

After a while, it was like a thunderous explosion in the ear, which was deafening.

bang bang ~

The shock wave hit like an overwhelming sea, and the air squeezed people's breath for a moment. A huge force hit the bulletproof board with a "bang", and the two almost didn't fly out.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and once the shock wave passed, although it was a little disheartened, it did not suffer any damage.

Kai patted the dust on his body, looked at the direction of the explosion, and muttered with an expression of disbelief: "It couldn't have been a few incendiary bombs we threw that detonated some underground biogas digester, right?"

Other than this, there seems to be no better explanation.

"Probably not. The distance is too far."

Su Lun stared at the rising mushroom cloud and responded.

Suddenly, he realized something.

That convoy was going to the secret laboratory just now.

The explosion is exactly that direction

Is it

Did that secret lab explode?

The explosion came unexpectedly.

The outer city has a large area, but usually only where there are buildings, there are human gatherings.

This "barren park" in Xicheng seems to have been an ancient park, which is desolate and inaccessible.

Now that I think about it, isn't this the best location for a secret laboratory?

Although it was not sure whether it was a man-made explosion or an accidental explosion, Su Lun's first reaction was: "Is it being blown up by someone?"

Moreover, because of the explosion, a series of clues in his mind were instantly linked together, and instantly a glamorous face appeared, that is the S-class wanted female criminal with a reward of 3 million!

"It's not really that woman, is it?"

Thoughts flashed in Su Lun's mind, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it was her.

When he went to the Knights Quarter to save Danny's three friends, he met that woman.

At that time, Su Lun had not yet figured out why she would commit crimes against the wind and find trouble with a human trafficker.

Now that this batch of goods has been intercepted, he also knows that the Steam Party will deliver supplies to a certain laboratory. And this laboratory is researching "X serum", and the location is somewhere in Xicheng.

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately guessed why those guys from the Steam Party arrested the homeless and orphans.

Because he once learned from Danny's mouth that the top of the Black Tower had done a lot of in vivo experiments for the progress of the "X Serum Project".

Now that the research is going on, it makes sense to need a large population for the experiment.

That kind of living laboratory can't be set up in the inner city, so the outer city where human life is as cheap as a mustard is perfect.

And that woman went to the traffickers, most likely because she wanted to lock the location of the laboratory through clues about the whereabouts of the population!

So, did she really blow up?

"That woman stole the important items for extracting the 'X Potion'. If she really blew up the outer city laboratory now, the top of the black tower will be very angry."

Su Lun suddenly had a crush on that woman.

It is a pity that a man of faith should die.

Su Lun guessed the reason for the explosion, but was not interested in staying any longer. It wasn't his own house that was bombed anyway.

He greeted Kai and said, "Let's go, there should be a lot of people coming to see the fun in a while."

A relaxed smile also appeared on Kai's face: "Oh, this explosion helped us a lot, and the traces of the robbery scene are probably almost destroyed now."

"Well, indeed."

Su Lun also raised his eyebrows, thinking they were lucky.

The two pushed the overturned motorcycle and resumed their journey.

Since the guess was artificial, then the explosion time will coincide with the day they robbed, and it is not a coincidence that the probability is high.

That kind of secret laboratory, for the sake of secrecy, it is impossible to enter and exit at any time like a vegetable market, and it is very likely that today is the day of centralized supply.

It may not only be the shipment that Su Lun and the others intercepted, but also other supply convoys, such as the population used for experiments.

That woman probably got in by other means.

However, everything has nothing to do with them.

They are just ordinary little robbers.

Instead of taking the goods back to their residence on Green Street, Su Lun and the others searched for some remote places with rotten buildings and sewers, and hid things in batches.

After arranging some early warning methods, the two burned the clothes of the crime and dealt with all traces that might be traced, and then returned to Green Street.

The news of the explosion in the XC area quickly spread throughout the outer city, and even the senior members of the Cross Society sent people to find out what happened.

However, the news circulating among ordinary gang members is the explosion of biogas, and it seems that some people in the Steam Party deliberately control the news, and there is no word about "laboratory".

As for the "robbery" that Su Lun and the other two participated in, I don't know whether the Steam Party intends to investigate secretly, or it is all included in the explosion. At least no one in the market has heard of anyone looking for that batch of goods, or the robbers.

But the quieter it is, the bigger it is.

Because Su Lun discovered the black market, the S-class wanted criminal's bounty went up again.

This time, the price is not marked. It reads: Those who provide effective information, depending on the value of the information, can obtain permanent residency in the inner city, hereditary titles, and any existing curse materials recorded by the alchemy union.

It can be seen that the bounty has been "exasperated".

This unprecedented bounty price is enough to make almost anyone tempted.

Permanent residency in the inner city is a benefit that almost anyone in the outer city wants to fight for;

The hereditary title, even if the major families in the inner city look at it, I am afraid that they want to find people after digging three feet into the ground;

There is also the reward of the arbitrary curse material, which is enough to make those second- and third-order professionals who are not interested in fame and fortune tempted.

This is just a reward for providing information!

Moreover, this time the reward order is not on, only the original photo of the woman, as well as various disguised photos, as well as detailed data on height, bones, and dimensions.

The pink-haired bunny costume that Su Lun had seen before was also impressively in it.

In other words, even if she covers her head, anyone with a heart can recognize who she is by her figure!

Su Lun felt that with this reward, it would be difficult for the "walking treasury" not to be caught.

Thinking of waiting for the next black market high-level professional gathering of small circles, he planned to inquire about the news, and by the way, asked Mr. Hei if he was interested in that batch of goods.

Right now, Su Lun has another important job.

That is to decipher "Living Corpse Research Diary"!

Su Lun didn't read the "Research Diary of Living Corpse" before because he felt that it was pointless to study it.

At least temporarily unavailable.

Translating those ancient ciphertexts would waste a lot of his time and energy, and the research content was too high-end to translate them.

The most important thing is that without the key thing "X serum", it is impossible for the living corpse to be successfully studied.

But now it's different, Su Lun has the finished X serum in hand.

If he can successfully translate the medicine that suppresses the distortion from the diary.

Not only can I try to make "living corpses", but if the serum can be applied to humans, it seems to be very good to give myself a shot.

After returning from the robbery, Su Lun didn't run around, just stayed in the basement and started to study the ciphertext in the "Diary of a Living Corpse".

Most of the books left by ancient alchemists are encrypted.

The more advanced the content, the higher the level of encryption.

It is nearly impossible to decipher an ancient code that has never been seen before by one person alone.

But there is also a shortcut for modern learning to decipher ciphers, that is, "cryptology" is now a systematic discipline in the Black Tower College.

A large number of cryptography experts and archaeologists studied all day long, deciphered the laws of a large number of ancient ciphertexts, and compiled various cryptography into textbooks.

This also makes it easier and easier for modern people to decipher ancient scrolls of alchemy.

The vast majority of ordinary people look at the dazzling encryption methods, and there are formulas that can be applied.

As long as you know the encryption type and key of the ciphertext, many ciphertexts can be cracked by a fool.

And Su Lun has the most complete set of textbooks of "Ancient Code Breaking Encyclopedia" in Old Lingdon.

The textbook records almost all ciphertext encryption and decryption methods on the market.

This also greatly reduces the deciphering time and reduces the difficulty.

Moreover, Su Lun also has a shortcut among shortcuts, that is [The Eye of Omniscience].

Before he has read the "Ancient Code Deciphering Encyclopedia", seeing those ciphertexts with specific rules, the All-Knowing Pupil may prompt "This is a text with 'three-square horizontal, vertical and vertical displacement encryption rules'";

After reading it, it has now become "a ciphertext compiled by the 'Lareye Encryption'".

This is also the law that he gradually discovered after using the [Eye of Omniscience] for so long. That is, the intelligence identified by the eyes will appear in the form that matches his cognitive description and is the easiest to understand.

The more knowledge Su Lun himself has, the easier it will be to understand what is identified.

Now it is used to decipher passwords. When Su Lun reads the contents of the diary, he will directly prompt the specific name of the encryption method.

Then he just used the same thing as looking up a dictionary to find the content of the relevant password in the textbook, and then he could decipher it by applying the formula directly.

This saved him too much time.
