After the explosion, the out-of-control propulsion engine finally ended its madness. The main part of the engine was blasted with a big hole, and the propulsion nozzle and a long section of components even completely fell off the engine, and were pushed to the endless far-reaching by the force of the explosion. of space. Regardless of whether the rest of the engine was still running, it could no longer produce any thrust.
As the main engine shut down, other surrounding equipment also fell silent. Hao Ren saw flames of varying strengths erupting from other places on the outer edge of the floating island. It was the remaining normal propellers trying to adjust the attitude of the island and keep it in place. It recovers from the previous wild tumble. The crisis is finally over.
Y'zaks dissipated his demon power and relaxed his expression: "It's been a long time since I've been so nervous, it reminds me of when I was fighting in my hometown."
The two flew to the floating island. The engine was blown and left a huge gap. The place was beyond recognition. It took Hao Ren a long time to find the way back from the twisted metal remnants and the hot dust. The maintenance area There was only half of it left, but fortunately the force of the explosion stopped here. The maintenance passageway behind the maintenance area and the gates were not affected, and the body of the elf placed near the second gate was not affected. Hao Ren Take the body and return to the surface.
The artificial gravity in this area seems to be slightly restored, and although it is still uncomfortable, at least it is possible to walk normally.
A large group of people had already gathered outside the exit, and almost all the elves involved in the rescue, except the magician who was still keeping the gap sealed, surrounded him. As soon as Hao Ren showed up, he was startled by the crowd in front of him. But he put the body on the ground first: "I found a victim..."
The elves fell silent. A wounded man with a bandaged arm squeezed through the crowd to identify it, and sighed: "It really is Angerton. He was trapped in the maintenance room on the bottom floor when the explosion happened... Fortunately, his body was completely recovered. Bring it out, thank you."
Hao Ren didn't know what expression to accept this thank you for, but at this time two more elves rushed through the crowd after hearing the news. They were two female elves with slightly different ages. They had tattoos on their wrists and arms. wearing a bandage. His face was stained with blood, apparently also the wounded of the previous explosion accident. The two elves threw themselves on Angerton's body, weeping in a low voice. Someone next to him explained that it was Angerton's wife and daughter—all three of them worked on this crew and had just moved to this urban area recently. Before the new life started, it came to an abrupt end due to an accident.
The older female elf recovered faster. She wiped away the tears from her face, raised her head and showed a grateful expression to Hao Ren, and then patted her daughter on the back: "Mana, tell the ration chief when you go back, From now on, I will receive a ration for two people."
Hao Ren remembered that there was a similar joke on Earth, but now he thinks this joke is not fucking funny at all!
Perhaps this kind of life has been lived for too long, and the elves have engraved certain things into their bones as a matter of course. The loss of their loved ones makes them sad, but at the same time, they will immediately think of reducing a ration quota. It's a habit that took thousands of years of high-pressure living to warp out. It may be difficult for human beings who were born on the earth with abundant resources to imagine all this. Lily and Vivienne were outside helping to treat the wounded or clean up the buildings that had collapsed due to the explosion, but they also ran over at this time. They had seen many lives and deaths in their lives, but they were still a little moved by the scene before them. The voice of the data terminal rang in Hao Ren's mind: "It would be great if there was a priest of the goddess of life, or a general-purpose resurrection device. People like this can be resurrected within a few hours of death..."
Just as Hao Ren was about to say something, Vivian suddenly hesitated and said, "Maybe I can try?"
"How?" Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.
"The corpse looks complete," Vivian said without confidence, "I don't know if my blood will work... Anyway, when it was used to save people before, it only had a one-fifth success rate. It seems that it is different from other blood races... "
"Try first before talking." Hao Ren hurriedly pushed Vivienne forward, while cheering up the unconfident vampire, "It can't be any worse anyway, right?"
Vivian politely let the elf mother and daughter who were immersed in grief move away. Under their puzzled eyes, the vampire girl drew a complicated rune with blood mist on the chest of the dead elf. This rune It slowly penetrated into the opponent's body, and at the same time, Vivian's nails also grew rapidly, until they became like sharp bayonets. She waited for the blood mist to penetrate completely and recited something in a low voice. Nails into the hearts of dead elves!
What Hao Ren heard her read was: "The Tathagata Guanyin, Jesus Mary 12345, bless you, don't make it crooked..."
Immediately he knew what was going on with the one-fifth success rate: just praying to this sentence, the gods in the sky had to fight for half an hour to determine who would help, and this time she added a more reliable than anyone else. The Flying Immortals from Beyond the Sky—Perhaps it would be better if she didn't say this!
But this time the raven 12345 seemed to have really manifested itself. Not long after the spell was cast, the body of the dead elf suddenly trembled, and then he opened his eyes with a strange feeling of stiffness.
The elves around were in an uproar, and the elf mother and daughter fell into complete sluggishness. Hao Ren dragged Vivienne and Lily away from the crowd before the situation became chaotic. He looked back at the chaotic scene with a little worry. : "So you transformed him into a vampire? Why is the process different from what I imagined, I thought you were going to take a bite..."
"That's the way to transform low-level blood servants," Vivienne waved her hand, "From the perspective of the blood race, it is food processing, similar to dipping some sauce when eating, although simple, the consciousness of blood servants is fragmented, and only I can follow the orders of the blood race. I use a more advanced transformation method."
Lily frowned: "Then he is already a vampire, will he drink blood to live in the future? There should be only one vampire like you who eats normally..."
"No, I've tried it before, I don't know if it's because of my special bloodline or what's going on. Although the people I rescued are a little afraid of light, they are otherwise the same as ordinary people. Although they have occasional blood-sucking urges, they can easily Control it, you can live by eating normal food," Vivienne frowned, "I just don't know why, my transformation success rate is always only one-fifth, whether it is used for living people or dead people, but Other blood races have a 100% success rate when transforming high-level descendants. And the people I transformed are completely ordinary humans, without any special abilities at all."
Hao Ren responded casually: "I'll ask 12345 to check you when I have time in the future. There must be something abnormal about your constitution..."
At this moment, a flying car suddenly flew over from the direction of the city center and stopped in front of them. A familiar elf jumped off the flying car: Hilda's only son Wim. The other party bowed to Hao Ren and the others: "My lord mother sent me to pick up a few guests. She is waiting for you at the steeple in the Royal Quarter."
It was only then that Hao Ren remembered that it was time to go back, and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, yes, I have to discuss business matters with Hilda. Speaking of the data terminal..."
He looked back at the breach site. The data terminal was still lying among the pile of temporary charging equipment, and the dome of the floating island above was emitting even and soft light under the power supply of the terminal. Obviously, that guy would not be able to leave for a while.
"Go do your work first," the voice of the data terminal came from a distance, "After these elves have finished tossing the backup energy pool, this machine will go find you by itself... Eh mom, this one sucks, don't worry!" Don't try your best..."
Hao Ren quickly boarded the speeding car and left that bitch behind.
The speeding car passed over the city, and through the windows on both sides of the car, you can see the appearance of the disaster below.
Although the tumbling of the floating island was stopped in time, this shock has already caused huge damage to the fragile city on the floating island. Collapsed buildings and bridges can be seen everywhere in the urban area, and huge cracks on the ground can be seen in open places. Gap, and in some of the cracks, you can even see the mechanical structure below the city and the complex pipelines with shimmering light: the floating island built by the Erim elves is like a living giant creature, and its interior is full of blood vessel-like energy transmission The solid ground carried the city, and now the shell of the island was cracked, and the complex structures below were exposed like internal organs, which gave people a shocking feeling.
There are a large number of flying cars leaving the royal area in the center of the island, and crowds of people can also be seen on the ground. They were the Arim civilians who had taken emergency refuge before. Now that the biggest crisis has passed, they must return to work immediately. Posts, rebuilding homes, restoring production, repairing the earth and the equipment under the earth—they have no time to rest, and this fragile country must be maintained in uninterrupted maintenance and repairs in order to survive.
The minaret of the Royal Quarter appears in front of the speeder. (to be continued~^~)
