Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 24: The conversation and laughter disappeared into ashes

"Is this red dust accelerating the onset of the [zombie potion] in my body?"

Ren looked at his arm that was quickly withering away, and he didn't understand why. Isn't this what the poison looks like

Moreover, his eyesight is now astonishing, and those red hair-like lines are clearly "blood worms" that are thinner than hair!

Zhi Nao also clearly reminded that a large number of life forms have been "activated" in his body!

"What the hell is going on?! The zombie potion is actually not a poison, but some dormant living bugs?"

In an instant, countless unbelievable thoughts instinctively popped up in Renn's mind.

He was about to burp in thirty seconds, and without any time to think about it, he took out a few potions from the folding space without hesitation.

[Advanced Antidote Potion], [Advanced Healing Potion], [Advanced Healing Potion]... He put all the high-end potions in Baron Morin's relics that he almost thought might be useful into his thighs, seven or eight in total. .

But it still had no effect at all, and the red hair continued to grow wildly.

Renn clearly felt the feeling of life passing from his body.

The dizziness is getting stronger and stronger.

Those "blood worms" were like blood-sucking leeches, frantically absorbing the blood and water in his body, as if they would not stop until they sucked him in.

... .

"Are you really going to die this time? God, please play with me..."

Traveling through another world for a year, with such luck and the aura of the protagonist, I almost died seven or eight times!

In just one or two seconds, another 10% of Ren's body fluids were sucked away. His face was as haggard as a zombie, and his consciousness was gradually blurring.

His hands haven't stopped yet, mechanically inserting various potions again and again.

However, just when Ren felt that he was about to travel through time again.

A dramatic scene happened!

"Huh... "

After a certain injection was inserted, Renn instantly felt like his soul had returned to his body, and his consciousness became more and more clear.

Taking a closer look, the "red hair" all over his body shrank visibly. They actually injected all the blood they sucked out back into his body? !

"saved!"

After walking around the gate of hell, Ren felt a sense of shock, his chest heaving and breathing heavily.

Looking again, the potion being injected in his hand was actually the [Zombie Potion] antidote that he had practiced preparing in the Pixis Laboratory before.

[Ding! The unnamed insect swarm has fallen into hibernation and is expected to wake up in 1094 days...]

call.

Renn breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The time limit for onset was changed to three years.

Although the hidden danger has not been eliminated, life is saved anyway.

At this moment, he also wanted to understand, is this so-called [zombie potion] actually a mysterious parasite

The so-called "antidote" is actually a medicine that puts the parasite into dormancy

Is that red dust just now the catalyst that gives parasite properties

A lot of strange knowledge suddenly popped up in my mind.

"Huh... "

Renn didn't have time to think about the connection, but suddenly, another thought that made his scalp tingling flashed through his mind.

"Nima, Pisis is an undercover agent of the Omar royal family?!"

... .

Renn had the "antidote" he used to save his life after learning potions before.

But other people who have taken [Zombie Potion] are not so lucky.

The moment the red "fireworks" exploded, the tragedy was destined to happen.

The mortality rate of the Phantom Thieves is already very high, and members are replaced very quickly. For a large team like the "Weasel Phantom Thieves", more than half of the members have taken [Zombie Potion].

Not only the newcomers, but even the old people who thought they were "detoxified" were also affected.

Ordinary gas masks cannot block that kind of fine dust, which can be fatal in thirty seconds if inhaled into the body.

And the eldest prince's staff had been planning for three years. This poison has been spread through various channels, and it is not just the "Weasel Group" and the Phantom Thieves that have been affected!

But think about how many of the more than 100,000 people in front of you have that red thread poisonous insect lurking in their bodies

... .

Just when [White Wolf] Bazel led a group of monster thieves to besiege Omar and the others, suddenly the crowd screamed.

"Brother, why do you have red hair on your body?"

"What's going on? What the hell is sucking my blood again..."

"Damn it, help me pluck out these red hairs... burn them with fire..."

"ah"

The heart-rending scream was horrifying to hear.

There were sporadic sounds of reality, and then it seemed to set off a chain reaction, and films and films of wailing sounded one after another.

The companion who was originally alive and kicking around, shouting and killing, suddenly turned into a "red-haired monster", and then was sucked into a mummy in the blink of an eye, and died like a ferocious corpse.

How terrifying is this scene

If it's just one or two people, that's all. But when you look at the people in front of you, falling in pieces like wheat, wouldn't a normal person be so frightened that his legs weaken

In just a dozen breaths, half of the tens of thousands of monster thieves who had just surrounded Prince Oma and his party fell down in an instant!

A few fireworks killed tens of thousands of people. This method was so weird... Even a top powerhouse like [White Wolf] Bazel couldn't stop sweating on his back just looking at it.

Tens of thousands of people were talking and laughing. At this moment, everyone looked at the black-robed staff member next to the eldest prince Quentin, with a deep fear in their eyes.

Bazel finally understood why he felt that this guy named "Metternich" made him feel creepy.

With this method, we would have won 70% without fighting!

Faintly, he felt that what this guy just said about "catch them all in one fell swoop" might have come true.

Because, Bazel also thought of a worse consequence!

... ..

"Eh... are we okay?"

"Haha... It seems like this poison is only effective for newcomers?"

"Damn it, it was the potion master in the regiment who caused the trouble! There were bugs hidden in the potions they prepared for newcomers..."

"It's a mole! It turns out those guys from Omar have already infiltrated..."

"..."

Some smart phantom thieves may have guessed the cause and effect of the matter.

The leaders of the Phantom Thieves were also somewhat fortunate. Although this "fireworks killing" was beyond everyone's expectations, the elite members of the major groups were not seriously damaged.

Most of the tens of thousands of people who died were newcomers who had not yet awakened to the extraordinary, or [awakened ones] who had just broken through a certain genetic lock.

These people are not the core of the major Phantom Thieves groups, and their combat effectiveness is very average.

If you die, just die. The lives of newcomers are not valuable, so just recruit them again.

But it didn't take long for the leaders' rejoicing to turn into despair.

... .

"No! The Machinery City has stopped operating!"

"Damn it, where's the boilermaker? Hurry up and add coal."

"Chief, it's bad, all the boiler workers are dead..."

"..."

The commotion started again, and those top Phantom Thieves who had been feeling lucky just now realized that... disaster was about to happen!

What are the new people's jobs in the Phantom Thieves

Boilermaker, artilleryman, mechanical supercontroller!

Once they die, it means that there is no one to operate the Mechanical City.

The Mechanical City without anyone controlling it is just a pile of junk!

The dust spread without any obstruction into the control cabins of major mechanical cities, and then a large number of "red-haired monsters" died.

The larger the mechanical castle, the more people it requires to work together. In the blink of an eye, more than 90% of the grassroots operators died!

Even if the surviving Phantom Thieves executives wanted to operate, they were powerless.

The result was that in the blink of an eye, there were no more cannons in the mechanical cities of the major Phantom Thieves groups; because no one was filling in the coal, the steam boilers provided less and less kinetic energy and gradually shut down.

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of mechanical cities that had been nimbly fleeing just now were all lying down.

And desperate bad news followed one after another.

In the far distance, you can already see groups of black shadows appearing on the horizon. They are the large mechanical legions of the Omar Empire that are surrounding them.

Without the Mechanical City, the Phantom Thieves' biggest source of escape has also been cut off.

Now, the whole army is really going to be wiped out.

... .

"This method is so fraudulent!"

Lei Nao looked at the scene in front of him, and four words instantly came to his mind: catching a turtle in a jar!

Even if he himself was one of the people being calculated, he still had to admit that the person who planned it was very clever.

But then he thought about it and said "fuck" again, and stood there as if struck by lightning.

"Pixis is an undercover agent of the Omar royal family. Could it be that the secret of 'Baron Morin's Relic' has been leaked to others?"

At this moment, Ren looked at this purgatory-like battlefield again, and his expression became even more ugly.

Sure enough, the label of "son of bad luck" cannot be taken off.

Originally, he thought that he should leave the center of the battlefield first and save his life first.

By then, even if he is captured by the Omar Empire's army, there is a high probability that he will not be killed due to his status as a "doctor's apprentice" and a "potion master's apprentice".

No matter where you are, these two professions have preferential treatment.

What's more, he is a new Kaitou thief, and he is not on the wanted list, so his crime will not lead to death.

After being captured, maybe he can turn his back on the dark side, completely get rid of his identity as a Phantom Thief, and join the Omar Empire.

However, because Pisis was an undercover Omar agent, all this became a luxury.

He is now pregnant with a great treasure, and although Pisis is dead, if an outsider knows this secret, they will definitely not give up making trouble for him.

Oh... I almost forgot.

And the mastermind who hired Quinn to destroy the family!

By the time Renn is captured as a new member of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves", the man behind the scenes will definitely be able to find him by means of his own means.

If caught, there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape the soul-searching torture.

"Baron Morin's relic" means a great opportunity to change his destiny for Renn.

As for handing over all the secrets in exchange for a life-long salted fish

Nonsence!

I had enough in my last life, so I plan to do something different in this life!

... .

"I have no choice but to run away..."

Ren thought of this and took a deep breath.

At least with "Zhi Nao" there, his chances of escaping are still high.

[Ding! Ballistic trajectory analysis and calculation, direction →... ]

The ballistic trajectory analyzed the weak point of the Omar Mechanical Legion's encirclement, the southwest, where is the only chance.

He didn't hesitate anymore and rushed to the edge of the battlefield, as fast as a leopard.
