The news on the TV screen is reporting the latest news about the eruption of Mount Fuji in Japan.
This was in a superior room of a five-star hotel in Shanghai. A distant scene of the crater at the top of Mount Fuji was being played on the TV. On the screen, the volcanic crater has stopped erupting magma, but thick and billowing smoke is still coming out, and huge smoke columns are rising directly into the sky.
The picture was a little shaken, and it was obvious that the photographer who took the picture was a little nervous when facing such a terrifying scene of nature. This was followed by a live report from a reporter on the front line. It can be seen that there is almost no green on the usually green Mount Fuji, and the original white on the top of the mountain has long been replaced by charred black.
The reporters and photographers in the news all wore bloated protective masks, which looked a little ridiculous.
Then the screen turned and cut into a piece of news, which was all about live reports in several major cities in Japan. It can be seen that the originally prosperous cities such as Tokyo no longer have the firepower and prosperity of the past, and the streets are full of gray. In this area, those skyscrapers that were originally like forests, after experiencing mud rain for many days, looked like a dense forest of black chimneys. There are no pedestrians on the street, and many shops still show signs of being smashed, smashed, and robbed. The doors and windows of some shops were smashed, and some places showed signs of being burned by fire. In some places, you can even see the remains of burned cars.
Seeing these pictures, you might even think that this is not Tokyo, but somewhere in Iraq—if it weren’t for the iconic towering Tokyo Tower in the background.
Only the occasional soldiers wearing military uniforms and armed with live ammunition were seen patrolling the streets, and military vehicles were passing by one after another.
In the Japanese TV news, the officials and people on the TV station clearly expressed sadness and pain when they spoke, followed by a series of sensational data: the number of deaths, the number of injured, the number of missing, the number of people affected by the disaster, and the economic losses. How many billions... blah blah blah.
After that, major media around the world reported on this disaster, and various international organizations such as the United Nations and the Red Cross announced their donations and support for this disaster, etc...
It seems that the whole world has focused its attention on this volcanic eruption in Japan.
"Snapped."
The TV was turned off by a hand, and after a flash, the screen turned completely black.
Lao Tian sighed, threw away the remote control in his hand, and glanced at the person sitting there with an expressionless face.
What was looking at Lao Tian coldly at this moment was a beautiful and elegant face, with picturesque features and exquisite facial features. However, there seemed to be no life in this face, and his eyes seemed to be empty. He was so indifferent to Lao Tian. They stared at each other for a while, but there was no reaction from the other party.
"You... don't look at these." Lao Tian hesitated.
"Then what should I do?" Peacock's voice was not stiff, but there was no emotion at all. Her voice made Lao Tian feel a little gloomy. Although the peacock in the past was as cold and arrogant as a piece of ice,... ice at least still reflects temperature. Even if it is indifference, it is at least an expression of emotion. But now Peacock's eyes have almost turned into black holes, and her whole body no longer looks like an ice cube, but... a stone!
Ice may melt at least occasionally, but stone is hard and cold, and it will never melt! The peacock now seemed to have turned into an indifferent stone, with no vitality in either tone or eyes.
The most important thing is that Lao Tian can see from the current Peacock that the most important thing is missing in her spirit: hope!
What a look! It was all gray, with no hope at all. The whole person only had one more breath than a dead person and could speak and move. Other than that, his eyes were ashen!
Lao Tian looked at the peacock and was speechless at first, but he still managed to smile: "You... can eat something, or sleep for a while, take a rest, maybe..."
Peacock said nothing, her expression was still so indifferent, she didn't even look at Lao Tian.
Lao Tian swallowed his saliva and tried again: "Maybe... Shi Gaofei can come up with a way..."
The peacock's eyes were still open - but it was obvious that his eyes had no focus, and they just fell on the wall blankly.
Lao Tian sighed in his heart and finally closed his mouth.
He had a strange feeling in his heart. Although the woman in front of him was sitting there, it still gave Lao Tian an illusion:
That peacock, that blood peacock, is dead!
…
The peacock can indeed be regarded as "non-existent".
This meaning of non-existence does not refer to physical death. But, now Peacock has completely transformed into an ordinary person!
Although several masters were seriously injured when they fled back from Japan in embarrassment that day, but... no matter how serious the injury is, as long as it is treated slowly, it will always get better. But the peacock was completely unable to recover!
In fact, in the past few days after returning, with the treatment of cell repair fluid and some special medicines, most of everyone's injuries have recovered. But the results for Peacock were worse than others!
During the battle on Mount Fuji, the transformed Chen Xiao bit the peacock's neck and sucked her blood. While Chen Xiao "evolved by blood-eating" by sucking the blood of the peacock, because Chen Xiao bit the peacock's neck, the blood remaining on Chen Xiao's own mouth and teeth was also infected on the peacock's wound!
The result was that the peacock was also infected with the "purification" carried by Chen Xiao's body! She was so powerful, but after being infected by Chen Xiao's purifying body fluid, all her powers and energy were completely "washed" away!
Just like Hei Qi in the past, Suo Suo is now.
Having lost her earth-shattering terrifying ability, Peacock is no longer the feared "Blood Peacock". Now, apart from her beautiful appearance, she is just like an ordinary woman.
In addition to Peacock, several other masters also suffered heavy losses in this battle against Chen Xiao.
In addition to Peacock, who has completely lost all his powers, the second best person is Lin Kunlun. Because he used the most powerful sword skill "Shocking Nine Heavens Sword" that is almost against the sky - it can be said that it was this most powerful sword that directly blasted Chen Xiao from the sky into Mount Fuji, and even penetrated the ground and hit the surface. This indirectly caused the eruption of Mount Fuji. After performing such an amazingly powerful trick, Lin Kunlun was basically destroyed.
The reason why it is said to be "basic" is because Lin Kunlun still retains at least a little bit of his ability. After the trauma has healed, Lin Kunlun's current strength is about the same as a C-level superpower, or maybe even more. A little higher, but definitely not B-level.
The majestic and superb S-class strongman was reduced to a third-rate person... After escaping back, Lin Kunlun locked himself in a room and went into seclusion without seeing anyone.
Even though Champagne and others came from K City to Shanghai to meet everyone, not even Champagne was able to see Lin Kunlun.
And then there's Prince.
Prince's trauma was the most serious because his pair of white wings were too eye-catching. During the battle, he was also the most attractive target to Chen Xiao. As a result, he suffered many heavy blows from Chen Xiao. Judging from the trauma, , almost heavier than the others combined.
When he was brought back by Lao Tian and others, this old madman who once made the world's supernatural world uneasy was barely alive. Not only did he lose too much blood, he almost died three times during the rescue operation - the most unlucky thing. What's more, they knew he had lost too much blood, but they couldn't give him a blood transfusion because he was a special kind of human (birdman?), and the blood type of ordinary humans couldn't match him at all. In Shi Gaofei's words, without blood transfusion, perhaps He still has three hopes of surviving. Once he is transfused with ordinary human blood, he will be able to ascend to heaven immediately.
Prince is still immersed in a temporary repair chamber that Scoopy put together using a hotel bathtub. According to Scoofy, there were nine ruptures in his internal organs alone. As for the bones... almost none of them were found to be intact. Shi Gaofei once complained: When treating this lunatic's injuries, he simply turned into a female worker, gluing a torn rag doll back together. As a result, Prince is still soaking in the repair warehouse and has not woken up.
Moreover, according to Shi Gaofei, there is no possibility of this winged madman waking up at least in the short term. Even under the influence of the most powerful repair fluid, he will sleep for at least twenty days and then continue. Within half a year after he came down, he would probably have to be helped to go to the toilet. As for regaining strength... Well, Shi Gaofei's answer to this is: Don't ask me this question, but ask God...
All in all, Lao Tian is in the best situation. His external injury was the lightest among all, and the injury was quite serious, but it did not damage his vitality.
But this was not his luck, but that when Chen Xiao was about to kill him with one blow, he suddenly regained his consciousness. Otherwise, if Chen Xiao had sent the spear forward at that time, Lao Tian would have died on the spot. Bit.
As for the last S-class strongman, Poseidon...
Thinking of Poseidon, Lao Tian's face became more worried.
Because Poseidon... is missing!
After escaping from Japan and returning to Shanghai, a temporary stronghold was set up here. After the Poseidon woke up from serious injuries, he ran away quickly.
At that time, Poseidon seemed to have lost her mind just like Chen Xiao. After waking up from serious injuries, she almost immediately attacked Lao Tian, who was taking care of her! After Lao Tian restrained himself for a few times, Poseidon immediately took the opportunity to escape.
According to Lao Tian's memory at the time, he obviously felt that Poseidon no longer recognized him after waking up. When he spoke to her, she also looked hostile and confused.
What Lao Tian didn't know was that after being seriously injured, Poseidon once again activated the hidden instructions of the prehistoric civilization in her memory. Once she was damaged beyond a certain level, the activated instructions would control her original will. Driving her to do whatever it takes to escape immediately and return to the secret underground location of prehistoric civilization for treatment and restoration. And... at the same time, Poseidon was brainwashed again!
As a result, the five S-class strong men were useless, injured, and ran away. Now the only one who can barely do anything is Lao Tian.
Lao Tian sighed. The peacock seemed to have lost its soul, which made him helpless. He ran to look at Lin Kunlun again. The great swordsman was still behind closed doors, while Prince continued to take a bath naked...
Shi Gaofei occupied a room by himself, nervously making various instruments and tools needed, with Suo Suo as his assistant.
Champagne went out for a big shopping spree - Shi Gaofei gave Champagne a shopping list. Champagne turned pale after seeing the list. It was said that in order to purchase the supplies that Shi Gaofei needed, he would have to rent a truck first.
Finally, Shi Gaofei made a request to Lao Tian: He must find a new place to stay. This hotel can only be used as a temporary residence. He needs a complete laboratory to make a better bioremediation warehouse and a complete set of repair systems.
What worries Lao Tian even more is, what happened to that boy, Chen Xiao? !
Chen Xiao will definitely not die in the volcanic eruption. But Lao Tian knew very well that he broke the special medicine prepared by Shi Gaofei at that time, and the medicine was clearly inhaled by Chen Xiao. In this case, the medicine will always have some effect, right
Perhaps, the medicine will help Chen Xiao regain his consciousness? And then take the initiative to come back to find people like yourself
However, Shi Gaofei is not optimistic about this. In his words, the effect of the special medicine is not stable. After inhaling it, it will have several different consequences, including: becoming dementia, directly losing memory, developing symptoms of depression, and improving mental health. There are different possibilities such as decline, and of course, the restoration of memory and sanity is also one of these possible consequences.
As for the many possibilities, which effect Chen Xiao will achieve after inhaling it... it all depends on his character.
If his character breaks out, maybe Chen Xiao will return to normal and come back. If unfortunately he has a bad character... I am afraid that Chen Xiao has now turned into a savage without any intelligence, and is a modern man-made ape named Tarzan in a certain valley of Mount Fuji...
"We don't have the ability to look for him now, so there's no point worrying. At least he won't die. Let's plan the next search operation after we regain our strength." This was Shi Gaofei's suggestion.
Although Lao Tian doesn't think it's a good idea to wait like this, but now that our own side is severely weakened, we really don't have the ability to take action immediately.
A few days later, the second batch of "reinforcements" from K City arrived. This batch of reinforcements was composed of Yao, Baicai, Xiao Qing, Second Young Master Xu, and Fatty. They also brought two "foreign aids" with them: Tang Ying and Takeuchi Yazi. This pair of sisters were brought out from the hotel by Mr. Xu.
Poor Japanese sisters, they were thrown into the hotel after being brought back from Japan by Chen Xiao. Then the Lin Kunlun kidnapping incident happened, and the trouble continues to this day. The female swordsmen of the Shangchen family were left in the hotel for many days and almost went crazy due to suffocation. Chen Xiao did not come to see them. Finally, they saw the news about the outbreak of Mount Fuji in Japan on TV and finally couldn't hold it anymore. He ran to Lunwei Street to look for Chen Xiao, but met Xu Ershao and others who were about to set off. Xu Ershao recognized that these were the sisters Chen Xiao brought back from Japan, so he took the initiative and brought them over together. .
There are a lot of reinforcements, but...the strength of these little guys is too weak to be effective at all.
Shi Gaofei even made a very unkind comment about this group of "reinforcements": They are all here to cause trouble!
In Shi Gaofei's eyes, among such a group of men and women, the most useful one to him is actually the fat man who has been ignored by everyone!
Fatty, who was good at controlling all electronic instruments, was quickly recruited by Shi Gaofei into his laboratory as an assistant. With the help of some fat men, Shi Gaofei's efficiency in manufacturing and assembling some electronic instruments was greatly improved.
After several days of repairs in Shanghai, Lao Tian finally ran out of patience and rushed into Shi Gaofei's laboratory: "Old madman! What are we waiting for here!! Even if we are unable to capture Chen Xiao for the time being, , at least try to find him!!"
Shi Gaofei was grabbed by Lao Tian's neck, but he was not angry. He laughed contemptuously and stared into Lao Tian's eyes with cold eyes. It wasn't until Lao Tian was embarrassed by his stare and finally let go of Shi Gaofei that the science geek disdainfully arranged his clothes: "It's almost done, it's basically done!"
"Complete what?"
"Searching instruments." Shi Gaofei turned sideways and showed Lao Tian the results of his busy days.
In the room, a strange-looking thing assembled from several high-end computers and a bunch of electronic components disassembled from various household appliances was piled on the floor.
This thing is as tall as a person, and it is equipped with several large pot-like satellite signal receivers that look like umbrellas. Some parts have no casing, and the components are exposed.
"What is this?"
"I said, search equipment." Shi Gaofei turned around and tapped a keyboard he had modified on the table - this keyboard was obviously assembled from the keyboards of several computers, with more than a hundred keys.
Then, a screen made up of several LCD screens quickly displayed a picture: a three-dimensional outline of the earth, with vertical and horizontal lines of longitude and latitude marked on it.
"This is the only good news I can provide you." Shi Gaofei sighed: "This time I go to Mount Fuji with you, and it's not like I haven't helped you at all. You were fighting in the dark on the mountain, and I was at the foot of the mountain, holding you hostage. The detector on the car collected as much as possible the energy response signals you sent out during the battle. Then I stored all these energy fluctuation signals. After analysis, I sorted out the part that belonged to Chen Xiao. , and finally synthesized a special signal. This signal represents the energy fluctuations on Chen Xiao's body and his energy reaction, including various ways of energy diffusion... Well, you won't understand even if I tell you this. All in all, you can understand that I took the opportunity to leave a mark on Chen Xiao! Then I stored this mark on this special search instrument I made.
This is different from the detectors I made before. This is an oversized detector, and its principle is different from the previous detectors. To be precise, it is an instrument specially used to search for Chen Xiao! and… "
Having said this, Shi Gaofei showed a satisfied smile on his face: "For global search, I used the Internet to directly invade several US military satellites and two EU commercial satellites, basically preforming global synchronized monitoring and networking.
Search the entire Earth for signals from outer space via invading satellites! In other words, the entire earth is now within the effective search range of this instrument! As long as I input the signal into the instrument, several satellites will search for the same signal around the world at the same time... Once the same signal is found, it is Chen Xiao! "
Lao Tian was immediately dumbfounded.
Shi Gaofei touched his chin proudly, but looked at the fat man next to him with a smile: "This fat kid has helped me a lot! The satellite that was going to invade the United States was still in trouble, but this fat kid's His power is to control all electronic instruments, haha, he is simply a 'humanoid hacker program'!"
"Then why are you still standing there! Search quickly!" Lao Tian was so anxious that he almost reached out to strangle Shi Gaofei's neck.
Shi Gaofei smiled, then slowly walked to the back and turned on the huge search device.
I heard a buzzing sound, a huge roar of the machine, which was almost as loud as the car engine.
Shi Gaofei looked a little unnatural and said with a wry smile: "This is assembled using various components. This... Because of the material problem, the power consumption cannot be minimised in advance. Ahem, there is also the problem of heat dissipation... I can only install it. Several built-in fans.”
Lao Tian didn't care about this, he just stared at the screen nervously.
Shi Gaofei sat down and typed on the keyboard with more than a hundred keys for a long time. Finally, the words "Start Search..." appeared on the screen.
On the screen, the three-dimensional earth figure slowly rotates, showing that the search coverage area has been expanded to the entire earth through several satellites.
"This will take about ten minutes." Shi Gaofei announced confidently.
Lao Tian clenched his fists and waited nervously.
but…
…
Ten minutes passed.
Then…
Several "more than ten minutes" passed.
And then…
More "ten minutes" passed.
The words "Searching..." are still on the screen.
Looking at Lao Tian with angry eyes, Shi Gaofei finally started to sweat. He said to himself, "It's impossible... How could something I made be like this."
He quickly debugged and fiddled with it for a long time, but to no avail.
He didn't know that Chen Xiao had lost all his energy... but where could there be energy signal fluctuations
