The Last Apostle

Chapter 658: Belly armor

Views:

"Fortunately, Master Mixia has already had a look at the spoils, and she picked out the ones she was interested in..."

Such a thought flashed through the mind of the clone Norton. Although he received this bad news, Norton's expression was also indifferent, and instead he said to Dr. Moreau:

"Dr. Moreau, we are short of manpower now, and you know that, if you can set off to catch the three rats trapped in the sewer, then I will give you a hand in the next laboratory reconstruction work." You provide an additional thirty percent of the material supply."

Dr. Moreau sneered:

"Fifty-five percent!"

The replica Norton said:

"Forty-five percent, you know, this is my highest authority."

Moreau said:

"Then it's settled. I didn't expect that the electromagnetic thruster I just improved can come in handy now!"

At this time, Du Yuqi and his group, who were walking in the huge and dirty sewer pipe, were surrounded by the remains of mechanical spiders, flames, and parts. At the same time, they also heard the hoarse roar from outside. , and a series of metal crashing sounds, of course, the most impressive one is the sound of the engine running from the depths of the steel body, this sound is like a dying beast still trying its best to squeeze out the last bit of strength in its body.

After a deafening crash sounded, everything became quiet again, and Jeter couldn't help asking in such an embarrassing atmosphere:

"Boss, do you know what happened?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Uh, I probably know... The group of idiots on the Isabella should have discovered our purpose, so they stopped our actions one step ahead."

Xi couldn't help but said at this time:

"Where are we going and what are we doing now?"

Du Yuqi thought for a while and said:

"Well, since the other party has already taken measures, they must think that we are rats in a cage, and the area we are in is not important, so they should not be in a hurry to chase us, so we simply Rest for five minutes, eat something and drink some water, and I will explain my plan to you by the way."

Having said that, Du Yuqi randomly found a screw beside him, sat down and scratched on the steel plate next to him:

"Well, you see, this cuboid is the Isabella where we are. Strictly speaking, it should have absorbed more advanced technology and used more advanced materials found from Cantwin's abandoned land. The manufactured second-generation steel fortress has completely crushed the first-generation steel fortress in every parameter."

"After I studied its structural diagram, I discovered that the Isabella actually has a weakness, but because of its long-term floating nature, this weakness is not established most of the time, and there is it. sewage pipe outlet."

"Every day, the Isabella will produce more than 1,700 tons of toxic waste and garbage that needs to be discharged, and here we are now, which is the outlet of its sewage main! The Isabella uses the latest Gravity offsets the module engine, so the energy required for its own floating in the air is extremely low, so in the design concept, the Isabella floats in mid-air most of the time, and supplies and the like will use special supplies ship to deliver."

"In the floating state of the Isabella, its sewage pipe outlet is facing directly below. Even if there is a lack of precautions here, even if it comes to this exit, it will be a desperate situation, because the bottom is several kilometers away. Even if you can fly or have a parachute, you will be chased to death by the aircraft sent by the Isabella if you jump off."

"However, the current Isabella suffered heavy damage in the previous war, and the core area was destroyed a lot, including the gravity offset module engine also malfunctioning, so it was actually forced to dock on the ground. , so the usual dead end at the sewage pipe mouth has actually become an extremely convenient way of life!"

After hearing what Du Yuqi said, Jeter and Xi suddenly realized, and suddenly said:

"So that's it! What does the previous noise mean?"

Du Yuqi picked up a rectangular box casually and said:

"This is the Isabella, it is hovering in the air now, so what is the most likely position to be attacked?"

Xi pondered and said:

"In terms of flight, Zero Organization's technology should be very powerful, so the biggest threat should come from the ground, so the answer to your question should be the lower abdomen, right?"

"Yes." Du Yuqi said in a deep voice: "So when Isabel was built, I specially installed a layer of belly armor for it because the lower abdomen is easy to be attacked! This layer of belly armor is usually When it is in the closed state, it will retract the interior of the Isabella, reducing the drag coefficient of the Isabella, allowing it to fly at a faster speed, and once it detects a possible threat, it will It will open the belly armor valve, allowing it to protect the vulnerable belly."

Having said that, Du Yuqi paused and said:

"So, the sound of steel colliding we heard just now is actually the sound made when the belly armor valve is urgently closed!"

As soon as Du Yuqi said these words, Jeter was surprised and said:

"Once the belly armor valve is closed, the entire belly of the Isabella is covered with armor. Doesn't that mean that the sewage pipe outlet is also sealed in disguise?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"It should be like this... However, since we are all here, why don't we go and have a look? After all, the Isabella is extremely seriously injured, and we don't know if we have a way to escape."

Xi's eyes narrowed for a moment, but she hesitated to speak. She felt that the Du Yuqi in front of her seemed to have changed a little bit. Apart from the rapid improvement in strength, which made her hard to see through, she even changed her temperament unconsciously. She spoke a little, so she didn't say what was on her lips.

The three of them continued to move forward at this time, and soon came to the mouth of the sewage pipe. Here, there are three extremely thick pipes converging together. Each pipe is about the size of a bus carriage. The width reached nearly ten meters!

Of course, at this time, the mouths of the sewage pipes have been tightly closed together, and the seams are tight. Even the sewage at the bottom has gathered into a small pool, and the unpleasant smell is blowing.

But Du Yuqi came prepared, and was confident about the current situation:

"These guys should have used remote methods to remotely close the sewage outlet, but because of a defect in the original design, the wiring in the sewage outlet control system was easily corroded by chemical agents and caused a short circuit, so under the strong protest of the maintenance worker , an emergency manual opening device is installed here... "

As Du Yuqi said, he had already started to search around. He kept beating with the short alloy steel rod in his hand, and soon found a very inconspicuous cover next to it. After opening it, there were two shining lights inside. Du Yuqi recalled, first pressed the one on the left, and found no movement, then pressed the one on the right, and immediately heard a rumbling sound, and the drain below began to slowly rotate and open.

At this time, Xi finally couldn't bear it and said:

"Where did you know these things? You were imprisoned with us in the cell of Heiba Prison?"

Du Yuqi had nothing to hide, so he explained all the transactions he had made with Ji Rishou and others in detail, and Du Yuqi asked them to get basic maintenance drawings, such as "gravity offset module "Engine" blueprints and other high-gold content are strictly guarded against, so it is not difficult for Ji Rishou and others to get these things.

At this time, after the drain was opened, the accumulated sewage below had quickly leaked out, and then the deep black shadows below were exposed. These shadows were dense and layered, like a large number of tiles neatly stacked together. , it seems to have a strong visual impact.

Jeter couldn't help but said at this time:

"Boss, what is this thing? Why is there such a thing under the drain?"

Du Yuqi shrugged and said:

"Didn't you just say that? The other party should have discovered our purpose. In order to prevent us from leaving here, they opened the belly armor valve, so what is now sealed under the sewage outlet is naturally the belly armor of the Isabella. In order to alleviate the huge impact of the bombardment below, there must be gaps between each piece of armor, so it is not a problem to discharge sewage, but people don’t want to pass through.”
