Chapter 34: Departure Imminent
It is known that Guanmai Great King can fire solid projectiles as small as a needle tip.
A common steel needle weighs about one gram. Seventy thousand needles per second means seventy kilograms!
What's more, the bullets used by Guanmai Great King are not ordinary steel, and the warhead quality is even greater.
In ten seconds, one ton of special metal is shot out from the muzzle; in ten minutes, a full sixty tons can be fired!
Zheng Zha had a satisfying shooting spree, which lasted about twenty minutes.
Chu Xuan, who had completed the Alchemist Modification in the process, only ordered Zheng Zha to stop firing before the gun barrel overheated.
“Holy crap…”
When everyone went to the crater a hundred meters away to inspect the results, they were all stunned by the destructive power of Guanmai Great King.
Zheng Zha had not moved the muzzle, and the pulse bullet's trajectory was straight, so the initial bullets tore through the ground of the Main God Space, creating a digging effect.
As more and more warheads accumulated at the target, subsequent bullets could only hit the previous warheads, and the kinetic energy of the bullets would convert into heat.
And as the blasted pit grew deeper and deeper, and closer to the Closed Environment, the thermal energy could not dissipate and accumulated…
In short, after a long, narrow, straight void, there was a large mass of magma-like unknown substance slowly flowing.
—Absurd!
Fang Ge muttered inwardly, only to see Chu Xuan self-absorbedly sketching an Alchemy Array at the location of the Unknown Substance and filling it with the construction formula.
Then he clapped his hands, and the Alchemy Array began to operate, accompanied by noticeable bright light and lightning effects, extracting the special material that made up the bullets.
At the center of the Alchemy Array, it transformed into a large pile of ten-centimeter-sided cuboid metal polymers, which Chu Xuan had deliberately made for easy transport.
“I used heat energy to replace the Earth Vein Energy to complete this alchemy, and a total of one hundred and fifty tons of refined material were extracted.”
“This is a synthetic metal, with extremely high hardness and melting point, but slightly less toughness—its original name is very difficult to pronounce, so we might as well call it Guanmai Steel.”
Chu Xuan explained his actions in a few words, not caring whether others understood him or not.
As for whether it was feasible to replace the energy generated by the earth's crust with heat energy… the fact was laid bare before them; Chu Xuan had managed it anyway.
—As expected of Chu Xuan, he easily accomplished what others could not!
“How come there seem to be so many loopholes in the Main God's system when it's in your hands?” Zhang Jie exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
He had also used weapons with infinite bullets, but this was the first time he had seen the operation of taking bullet casings and warhead metal for free…
“Speaking of loopholes, I also have a way to improve physical fitness.”
Fang Ge said, signaling Zheng Zha to exchange for ten liters of fresh dragon blood.
“Have you ever read the story of the Nibelungenlied?”
“What? There are still loopholes? What Nigo?” Zhang Jie asked three questions upon hearing this, already a bit obsessed.
Zheng Zha shook his head like a rattle drum, but he had stopped thinking and just did what Fang Ge told him to do.
A large basin of dragon blood suddenly appeared beside them, emitting a faint "fishy aroma."
As a writer, Zhan Lan had knowledge in this area, and combining it with the large basin of dragon blood, she confidently said:
“You mean the story where the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried bathed in dragon blood and became immortal, right?”
But soon, she questioned again: “The problem is, Siegfried was already a very powerful superhuman hero before he bathed in dragon blood. Won't we explode?”
“Just put your finger in a little, and you'll know what's going on, won't you?”
Fang Ge said, placing his palm into the dragon blood. There was only a tingling sensation, as if his pores were devouring and absorbing the energy contained within.
In the original work, Chu Xuan had extracted dragon blood from a black dragon. After application, it could greatly improve physical fitness, and dragon blood essence also had the property of promoting the opening of the Second-Order Gene Lock.
However, if one's physical fitness was insufficient, they would be eroded by the dragon blood, leading to genetic collapse and death from bodily decay!
And this "food-grade dragon blood" was far inferior to "black dragon blood," only able to improve physical fitness by about 60 points.
Safe application, however, still required an immunity of over 300 points, meaning even a 200-attribute created human could not be safely strengthened.
Fang Ge had the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, and his physical fitness was about four times that of an ordinary person, so he naturally had no burden.
Seeing Fang Ge unharmed, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, and Chu Xuan also followed suit and placed their palms into the dragon blood, but the outcomes were completely different.
The combination of a modified human and the T-Virus simply could not be shaken by this "food-grade dragon blood."
And Zheng Zha had the Symbiote on him; this greedy fellow even started to steal and eat, causing the water level of the dragon blood to continuously drop.
Only Zhan Lan felt an intense burning sensation, like being soaked in sulfuric acid!
She immediately pulled her hand out; her originally fair skin was blood-red, as if it would peel off at any moment, and her knuckles and muscles were swollen as if injected with water…
“Main God, heal Zhan Lan. The reward points are on me.”
It was only when Fang Ge's words fell that the Main God's healing light pillar descended upon her, and the intense pain finally subsided.
Zhan Lan only had a hundred reward points, which she still needed to use for exchanging knowledge when creating a human, so Fang Ge naturally had to help her save some.
“What's going on? Why was I backlashed? Is it because my immunity isn't enough?”
Zhan Lan was not stupid and quickly found the reason.
She had also drunk the T-Virus in Resident Evil, and when she injected the antidote on the train, she had already exceeded the time limit the antidote could cure, only delaying her transformation into a zombie.
Her zombification was only repaired by the Main God upon returning to the Main God Space.
Because of this, she had almost completed the T-Virus enhancement, her physical fitness had improved significantly, and her immunity was nearly two hundred points.
But it was not enough!
“Don't worry, since I've brought it up, I definitely have a way for you… and even for the bodyguards you will create later to safely strengthen themselves.”
Fang Ge's confident voice dispelled the disappointment in Zhan Lan's heart.
Since cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, she always felt that this man was as dazzling and reliable as the sun—no, even when they first met, he was already reliable enough.
“…Thank you.”
As the words left her mouth, Zhan Lan suddenly realized that she always needed to thank him.
Besides that, she found it difficult to offer him any help…
“You probably won't be able to repay this favor in your entire life!”
Fang Ge teased, then pointed to Zheng Zha: “Strip his Symbiote off him. His immunity is even worse than yours. After all, he hasn't undergone the baptism of the T-Virus.”
“The Symbiote only needs a short period to complete detachment and choose a new user. When I recommended the Symbiote, I already had the idea of having everyone strengthen their bodies with dragon blood.”
“Oh, you! You've been plotting against me, haven't you?” Zheng Zha laughed and cursed upon hearing this.
He certainly had no objections to this; Zheng Zha was very satisfied with the Symbiote, and he couldn't ask for more if it had such a radiating effect on the team.
“That's quite thoughtful.”
Zhan Lan's heart warmed, and her lips couldn't help but curve into a small arc, her love-struck brain beginning to stir.
“Anyway, this life of mine is already tied to you. If I can't repay it… then I can't repay it, I guess?”
Stare~
Jin Xi's gaze was not sharp, but when it landed on Zhan Lan, the latter felt completely uncomfortable.
Jin Xi would not interfere with Fang Ge's choices or actions, and she should not have such emotions.
This kind of thing had happened hundreds of times in her memory. Whether it was this humanoid communicator or that short-haired, big-chested girl… it wasn't as if they hadn't been together, and everyone could get along happily.
Anyway, she was the most special one; only she would eternally stay by Fang Ge's side.
Living for him, and dying for him, cycle after cycle, constant and unchanging.
Jin Xi found that she was a little strange.
It seemed different from before, with many "extra" things.
Both here and in the "real world" seemed a bit different… Fortunately, none of that mattered.
Jin Xi only hoped that her driver would be safe and sound.
She silently shifted her gaze, and her silver-white pupils once again reflected Fang Ge's handsome face, with a hint of faint happiness in his slightly upturned eyes.
She could never get enough of looking at him…
Women's emotions are very keen.
Zhan Lan suspected she had lost her mind, how could she say such a thing?
But how could that stunning girl seem to tacitly approve of all this?
The silence lasted for about ten seconds before Zhang Jie broke the deadlock:
“The remaining points can't be exchanged for anything big anyway. We can discuss buying supplies slowly…”
“No one has eaten yet, right? Today, I, your big brother, will treat. I'm not bragging, but your sister-in-law's cooking, ah, it's truly unique!”
“Alright, things are mostly arranged anyway.”
Thinking that it might involve information about the next horror movie, Fang Ge nodded in agreement.
“Zheng Zha, just drink all this dragon blood after you transform. There are plenty of points anyway. You can also take the opportunity to improve your blood energy.”
—As long as he didn't specifically say it, he probably wouldn't realize this was "hand washing water."
Sure enough, Zheng Zha guzzled down the dragon blood. Everyone then proceeded to Zhang Jie's room.
This meal, one could only say that Zhang Jie truly did his best.
There was Tyrannosaurus Rex tail, and Triceratops liver…
A row of disc cases was also seemingly casually placed by the TV, so Fang Ge took the opportunity to suggest finding some movies to watch.
Zhan Lan diligently went over and rummaged for a long time, but only the Jurassic Park box had content; the other discs had "vanished."
Zhang Jie just said casually:
“Oh, if you can't find it, don't look anymore. The others might be lost, I don't know where they went. I have very poor living habits.”
Zheng Zha also found an old arcade machine in the living room, which brought back childhood memories, so he called Loli over, and they played "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs" all afternoon…
It was rare that Fang Ge didn't force him to "train," and Zheng Zha even had the pleasure of "slacking off" from work.
—This is practically a dinosaur convention; if it's not Jurassic Park, I'll eat my hat!
But the more this was the case, the harder it was for Fang Ge to relax.
This meant that the next mission would be a very pure monster-slaying film, making it difficult to "leverage" like in Resident Evil.
In Jurassic Park, there were no monsters that could threaten the Central Continent Team, so what kind of strange creatures might appear was unpredictable.
Based on Fang Ge's experience, as long as it was a dragon, it was possible for it to be stitched in…
The trip to Resident Evil thus became even more important!
He did not slack off, urging everyone to complete their dragon blood enhancement, and dragging Zheng Zha to continuously train his resistance to blows…
In a blink of an eye, the seventh day arrived…
