Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 112: Laboratory explosion (please subscribe)

Su Lun and Kai evacuated on motorcycles according to the planned route. They changed motorcycles midway and traveled for another period.

No one has caught up for so long, which means that they have handled the finishing touches very cleanly.

Finally nothing went wrong in the first stage of the robbery.

But while riding, Kai felt that the direction of the motorcycle was a little unstable, and muttered: "Hey...Su Lun, why do I feel that the motorcycle is a little wobbly today? Could it be that the thing is too heavy and is crushed?" ..."

Su Lun actually noticed the abnormality earlier, and the feeling came very quickly. Kai was only halfway through his words when Su Lun's expression suddenly changed: "Get out of the car quickly!"

Without any further explanation, he took out the folding bulletproof plate and the two of them blocked it together.

The next moment, a thousand-meter-high mushroom cloud suddenly rose in the direction of the deserted park a few kilometers behind them!

It seemed like something was about to emerge from the ground, rolling violently, making people unstable.

A moment later, it was like thunder exploding in my ears, deafening.

Boom boom~

The shock wave came like an overwhelming force, and the air was so compressed that one could breathe for a moment. A huge force hit the bulletproof board with a bang, and the two of them were almost thrown out.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and once the shock wave passed, although he was a little disgraced, he did not suffer any damage.

Kayi patted the dust on his body, looked at the direction of the explosion, and muttered with an unbelievable expression on his face: "It couldn't be that some incendiary bombs we threw detonated some underground biogas pool, right?"

Besides this, there seems to be no better explanation.

"Probably not. The distance is too different..."

Su Lun stared at the rising mushroom cloud and responded.

Suddenly, he realized something.

The transport team just went to the secret laboratory...

The explosion happened to be in that direction...

Could it be...

Did that secret laboratory explode?

.......

The explosion came suddenly.

The outer city is very large, but usually only where there are buildings are people gathering.

This "deserted park" in Xicheng seems to have been an ancient park. It is desolate and inaccessible.

Now that I think about it, isn’t this the best location for a secret laboratory?

Although it was not sure whether it was a man-made explosion or an accidental explosion, Su Lun's first reaction was: "Did someone blow it up?"

Furthermore, because of the explosion, a series of clues in his mind were instantly connected, and a cold face appeared in an instant, that is, the S-class female wanted criminal with a reward of three million!

“It’s not really that woman, is it?”

Thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was most likely her.

When he went to the Knights District to save Danny's three friends, he met that woman.

At that time, Su Lun had not yet figured out why she would go against the odds and commit a crime to find trouble with a human trafficker.

Now that he has intercepted this shipment, he also knows that the Steam Party will deliver supplies to a certain laboratory. Moreover, this laboratory is researching "X serum" and is located somewhere in the West City.

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately guessed why the Steam Party guys were arresting homeless people and orphans.

Because he once learned from Danny that the top management of the Black Tower had conducted a large number of in vivo experiments for the progress of the "X Serum Project".

Now that research is continuing, it makes sense that a large population is needed for experiments.

That kind of living laboratory cannot be set up in the inner city, so it is perfect for the outer city where human life is as worthless as trivial matter.

And that woman went to find the human trafficker, most likely because she wanted to use clues about the whereabouts of the people to locate the laboratory!

So, she really blew it up?

.......

"That woman stole the important items for extracting the 'X Potion'. If she really blows up the outer city laboratory now, the top management of the Black Tower will probably be furious..."

Su Lun suddenly became interested in that woman.

It would be a pity for a person with faith to die.

Su Lun guessed the cause of the explosion, but was not interested in staying any longer. Anyway, it was not his own house that was bombed.

He called to Kai and said: "Let's go, there should be many people watching the fun soon."

A relaxed smile appeared on Kai's face: "Oh, this explosion has helped us a lot. The traces of the robbery scene have probably been almost destroyed now."

"Yes, indeed."

Su Lun also raised his eyebrows, thinking that they were lucky.

The two pushed the overturned motorcycle and started on the road again.

Since it was guessed that it was man-made, the time of the explosion would coincide with the day of their robbery, so it was most likely not a coincidence.

That kind of secret laboratory cannot be entered and exited at any time like a vegetable market in order to keep it secret. It is very likely that today will be a day of centralized supplies.

It may not only be the shipment that Su Lun and the others intercepted, but also other supply convoys, such as the population used for experiments.

That woman probably got in through other means.

However, it has nothing to do with them.

They are just ordinary little robbers.

.......

The two Su Lun did not bring the goods back to their residence on Green Street. Instead, they found some remote places in dilapidated buildings and sewers along the way and hid the things in batches.

After arranging some early warning measures, the two burned the clothes used in the crime, dealt with all possible traces, and then returned to Green Street.

The news of the explosion in Xicheng District quickly spread throughout the outer city. Even the senior officials of the Cross Society sent people to find out what happened.

But the news circulating among ordinary gang members was that of a methane explosion. Someone in the Steam Party seemed to have deliberately controlled the news, and no word about the "laboratory" was spread.

As for the "robbery" that Su Lun and his two men participated in, I don't know if the Steam Party plans to investigate secretly, or if they were all involved in the explosion. At least there is no news on the market that anyone is looking for that batch of goods again, or the robbers. .

But the calmer it is, the bigger things are.

Because Su Lun discovered... that the reward for the S-class wanted criminal in the black market has increased again.

This time there is no price tag. It says: Those who provide valid information, depending on the value of the information, can obtain permanent resident rights in the inner city, hereditary titles, and any cursed materials currently recorded by the Alchemy Guild. ..

It can be seen that the person who offered the reward is already "frustrated".

This unprecedented reward price is enough to make almost anyone tempted.

The right to permanent residence in the inner city is a benefit that almost anyone in the outer city would fight for;

A hereditary title, even if the major families in the inner city saw it, they would probably dig deep to find it;

There is also the reward of any cursed material, which is enough to tempt those second- and third-level professionals who are not interested in fame and fortune.

This is just a reward for providing information!

Moreover, the reward order this time not only posted the original photo of the woman, but also various disguised photos, as well as detailed data on height, bones, dimensions...

The pink-haired bunny girl Suellen had seen before was also prominently featured in the costume.

In other words, even if she has her head covered, anyone who cares can recognize who she is by her figure!

Su Lun felt that with this reward, it would be difficult for the "walking treasury" not to be caught.

Thinking about waiting for the next gathering of a small circle of high-level black market professionals, he planned to inquire about the information and ask Mr. Hei if he was interested in that batch of goods.

Right now, Su Lun has another important task.

That is to decipher the "Living Corpse Research Diary"!

.......

Su Lun didn't read more of the "Diary of Living Corpse Research" before because he thought it was pointless to study it.

At least not for the time being.

Translating those ancient secret texts would waste a lot of his time and energy, and the research content was too high-end to be useful in translation.

The most important thing is that without the key item "X serum", it is impossible to successfully research living corpses.

But things are different now. Su Lun has the finished X serum in his hands.

If he can successfully translate the medicine that suppresses distortion from the diary.

Not only can you try to make a "living corpse", but if the serum can be applied to humans, it would be great to give yourself a shot.

After returning from the robbery, Su Lun stopped running around and stayed in the basement to study the cipher text in "Diary of a Living Corpse".

Most of the classics left by ancient alchemists are encrypted.

The more advanced the content, the higher the level of encryption.

It is almost impossible to decipher an ancient code that has never been seen before by one person alone.

But there is also a shortcut to learning to decipher codes in modern times, that is, "cryptography" is now a systematic subject in Black Tower College.

A lot of cryptography experts and archaeologists study all day long, decipher the patterns of a large number of ancient ciphertexts, and compile various cryptography textbooks.

This also makes it easier for modern people to decipher ancient alchemical scrolls.

Most ordinary people are dazzled by encryption methods, but they all have applicable formulas.

As long as you know the encryption type and key of the ciphertext, many ciphertexts can be cracked almost fool-proof.

And Su Lun has the most complete set of "Ancient Code Deciphering Encyclopedia" textbooks in Jiulingdun.

The textbook records almost all ciphertext encryption and decryption methods on the market.

This also greatly reduces the time and difficulty of deciphering.

Furthermore, Su Lun also has a shortcut among shortcuts, which is the [Eye of Omniscient].

Before he had read the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Code Deciphering" and saw those ciphertexts with specific patterns, the Eye of Omniscience might prompt "This is a piece of text with a 'three-frame horizontal and vertical displacement encryption pattern'." ..";

After reading it, it now turned directly into "a ciphertext compiled by the 'Raleye Encryption Method'...".

This is also the pattern he gradually discovered after using the [Omniscient Eye] for so long. That is, the information identified by the eyes will appear in the most understandable form that conforms to his cognitive description.

The more knowledge Su Lun has, the easier it will be to understand the identified content.

Now it is used to decipher passwords. When Su Lun reads the contents of the diary, he will be directly prompted with the specific name of the encryption method.

Then he just looked up the password in the textbook, like looking it up in a dictionary, and applied the formula directly to decipher it.

This saved him so much time.
