The entire steel fortress shook violently in an instant. Anyone inside the steel fortress could almost hear the terrible "creaking" sound of the supporting steel frame. It spread.
In the control area, all kinds of instruments either completely failed, or started to spin wildly, sparks burst out, and at the same time the alarm system began to intervene, a red light shone around, and the cold and ruthless electronic The synthetic voice rang continuously:
"Please note that the fortress has completely lost control, it is recommended to prepare to abandon the ship!"
"Please note that the fortress has completely lost control, it is recommended to prepare to abandon the ship!"
"..."
The explosion caused was so violent that not only Du Yuqi, but also the instigator, Duize who planted the bomb, did not expect such a consequence at all.
This is also very normal, because Duize has placed five time bombs, one of which is placed in the fuel transmission pipeline, and the original intention of the design of the steel fortress is to integrate mining and processing into a comprehensive platform, which can carry out Preliminary refining, so the main pipeline for fuel transmission will connect three important areas, the mining area, the production area, and the power area!
Under normal operating conditions, after the mining area pumps the crystal source liquid from the ground, it is input into the production area, which is convenient for immediately processing the bulky, dirty and rancid source liquid into clean, light and odorless crystal blocks. At the same time, the power area The designed engine and generator can directly use the crystal source liquid to supply energy and generate electricity.
The crystal source liquid is originally a flammable and explosive substance. After being exploded by Duize's time bomb, it immediately ignited a raging fire and spread in all directions. Even if the main structure of the steel fortress is made of steel, it is still Still can't stop the crazy spread of the fire.
But at this time, Du Yuqi heard the explosion outside slightly stop, and then got out from under an overturned desk in a panic. His appearance at this time was also smoky, and even his hair and eyebrows were burnt Not only that, but the skin on his face was black and white, and there were many burns on his body.
It turned out that Du Yuqi himself underestimated the power of the detonation. He only thought that the alloy gate with a thickness of tens of centimeters was safe and sound. He did not expect that after the explosion was triggered, the alloy metal gate would start to twist and deform after only a few seconds. Du Yuqi Seeing this, he immediately turned around and fled. As a result, within 20 seconds of his escape, the alloy door was completely damaged under the action of high temperature and pressure, and it was wrinkled as if it was completely destroyed like a piece of rag.
At this time, Du Yuqi used the temporary authority of the key on his body to close four or five cabin doors in succession, and finally hid on a desk in an office, barely avoiding the ensuing fire wave. It's like this, it's also disgraceful, and the fire is raging outside, and the smoke is soaring into the sky.
However, Du Yuqi was thinking about one thing at this time, that is, after the clown was imprisoned in the crystal block refining workshop, something seemed to have happened. Although the alloy gate would block the view after closing, there was still There is a special visual system that can see the internal situation. The moment Du Yuqi detonated the bomb, he noticed that there seemed to be a strange light shining from the clown's body, and then he was engulfed by the flames and thick smoke.
"It's impossible for anyone to survive such an explosion." Du Yuqi thought about it carefully, and comforted himself in his mind: "Even a piece of steel would have to be burned, let alone a body of flesh and blood?"
After thinking about it, he felt relieved, and then he coughed violently while clutching his chest, in great pain.
There is a saying that kills 10,000 enemies and loses 3,000. Du Yuqi was originally inferior to the clown in strength, but in order to lure him to take the bait, he repeatedly used bitter tricks, and was seriously injured.
What's more, although Du Yuqi did deliberately save his strength in the battle with the clown, the remaining strength was completely consumed in the previous desperate rush to avoid the explosion. After relaxing, I felt pain all over my body, so I could only cheer up and grin my teeth to deal with the injuries on my body first.
As for the impending crash of the Iron Fortress, Du Yuqi is not worried yet, because as long as the anti-gravity laboratory is still in operation, the Iron Fortress will only get out of control for a while and will not crash. At the same time, the protection around the anti-gravity laboratory is even more important. The most important thing is that the interior of the steel fortress also imitates the setting of the ship's watertight cabin.
Therefore, the biggest situation will be that as the fire spreads to all corners of the steel fortress, the thirteen supply stations distributed on the steel fortress will also be damaged one by one. After the energy received by the anti-gravity laboratory is gradually weakened, a The anti-gravity effect of the body will also gradually weaken, so although the crash of the Iron Fortress is inevitable, it will not suddenly fall from the air like a weight, and there is enough buffer time.
For a person like Du Yuqi with strong physical fitness, as long as the steel fortress has descended to a certain height, he can save his life by jumping with a large durable umbrella in his hand, not to mention that he also has the temporary key with the highest authority. Landing the escape pod wasn't too difficult either.
Of course, more importantly, Du Yuqi's summoning time may end at any time, and he will have successfully returned to the earth by then. Even if there is a power of a hundred nuclear bombs when it crashes here, it will have no effect on him at all.
After Du Yuqi stayed in this office for a while, he realized that the fire was spreading continuously. The metal floor was scalding hot from the raging fire, so he evacuated towards the rear.
It is worth mentioning that before Du Yuqi wanted to lure the clown into this ambush, he deliberately fled towards the production area, because Duize's bombs were all installed there.
The production area is originally a place where small crystal blocks are produced. In terms of value, small crystal blocks have a very wide range of application value on the Arad continent at this time—so, the actual meaning of this place is almost the same as that of a banknote printing factory. , As far as common sense is concerned, a very strict audit and access system must be carried out.
In terms of confidentiality, the production method of small crystal blocks cannot be spread out, otherwise it will inevitably cause an uproar. It is precisely because of this two-pronged reason that the production area is actually a relatively closed area. For the convenience of management, No matter how complicated the passages are in the production area, how vast the area is, and how complicated the people working in it are, in the end there is only one door for people to enter and exit.
If Du Yuqi wanted to leave the production area at this time, he naturally had to escape through this gate, otherwise he would have nowhere to go. It's just that at this time, the raging fire has already covered the only passage, the thick smoke is filled, and the smell of burnt can be said to be particularly pungent. If it is an ordinary person, before they are close to the fire, they will Almost fainted by the poisonous smoke.
Seeing such a situation, Du Yuqi had no choice but to take out a prepared thick dress from the dimensional ring on her finger and put it on, then wrapped her head and face with a scarf, and finally took out a bucket of Nongfu Spring Zhun drenched himself from head to toe. After three buckets of water in a row, he felt that the clothes on his body were almost absorbing water. Finally, he put on a pair of swimming goggles to protect his eyes, and rushed towards the fire scene.
Immediately after entering the fire scene, overwhelming flames surged in. Fortunately, it didn't look like the furnace was full of flames. There were fires in some places, but there was no fire in some places. Eye protection was interspersed in the fire scene, and soon approached the exit of the production area.
The exit of the production area is divided into three sub-channels. When the production area is in full operation, people who go to and from work every day must line up to pass through the scanning of the sub-channel instruments in order to ensure that no contraband is brought in or out, otherwise If you do, you will be locked out.
The fire has already burned here, and the door of the opening and closing sub-passage has failed, so if Du Yuqi wants to go out, he has to break through the transparent plastic-steel glass door in front of him. On the door, there is already a hole, and this hole is enough for people to get out.
Seeing this hole, Du Yuqi's heart shuddered! Immediately ignored the burning fire behind him and went to check, because the switch failed only a few minutes ago. Before that, if the rest of the workers in the production area were aware of the explosion and wanted to escape, they all had ID verification. How could violence be necessary
At the same time, if you want to break through the plastic steel door in such a raging fire, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. After Du Yuqi went up to check it, his face became more gloomy. It can be said that it is very jagged, if the teeth are criss-crossed, so if you drill very quickly, it is inevitable that there will be rubbing.
Du Yuqi found a piece of scraped clothes and a lot of flesh and blood at the place where the edge of the plastic-steel door was broken like a wolf's tooth. Obviously, when passing through the damaged plastic-steel door, this guy was very careless and was deeply trapped. Deep scratches—Du Yuqi still couldn't identify the owner of the blood stain with the naked eye, but he did recognize the piece of clothing, and it was the fabric on the goose yellow trousers that the clown was wearing! !
Although Du Yuqi didn't know how the clown escaped from the terrible explosion, there was no doubt that this guy had a very high chance of not dying!
"Bastard..." The muscles on Du Yuqi's face trembled, and after identifying the direction, he suddenly found some blood on the ground, which should have flowed down from the clown's scratches when he ran away in a panic, and immediately chased after him.
But after Du Yuqi was pushed out for thirty or forty meters, he immediately found half a bloody handprint on the door next to him. An overturned water glass, next to it was a mass of bloody vomit.
Seeing this situation, Du Yuqi immediately reconstructed what happened at the scene. It should be that the clown saw water on the table in the middle of the room from the transparent porthole outside. He had just escaped from the fire scene not long ago, and he must be unbearably thirsty , I opened the door and went in to drink water. As a result, due to too much physical exertion/severe injury, I drank too much water and directly caused vomiting.
Du Yuqi then rushed forward, because the clown doesn't have the temporary key with the highest authority like him, so he can't actually enter many passages, and the escape route is actually quite limited, and the clown should be seriously injured Every time he walked a certain distance, he had to lean on the wall to rest for a while, and Du Yuqi followed the bloody handprints and the blood on the ground so that he would not lose it.
Of course, the more important thing is that Du Yuqi is definitely a person who makes decisions before acting. If he is not sure and has a hole card, he will not act rashly like this. The top alchemy potion, the legendary rare drug that has touched the rules of the world, Remy's Aid.
There is a way to think about defeat before thinking about victory. Du Yuqi felt that even if he was defeated by catching up with the clown, he could survive successfully with this trump card in his hand.
Probably Du Yuqi was driven four or five hundred meters away, and saw the clown limping in front of him. At this time, Du Yuqi looked very embarrassed, but the appearance of the clown can be said to be even more embarrassed than him. Duo, how should I put it, it's like a rooster that has been thrown into the oven and roasted for five or six minutes without plucking its hair. It looks very funny.
However, no matter who it is, watching the clown grit his teeth and move forward step by step, he will definitely not be able to laugh, because he can see the determination and tenacity in his sluggish and clumsy movements, the kind that unless he is Stubbornness that will never give up until death! ! That kind of longing and persistence for life even made Du Yuqi feel in awe!
