Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 479: Opportunities of Catastrophe
Ekaterina has now inherited the identity of "Shadow Lord" from her teacher, Master Pierre, and has become the "second generation eye" of the king of the underground gang in Linton.
While traveling on their honeymoon in the early morning, she had already ordered the Rington gang to distribute the special Red Death medicine secretly made by the Lance family.
It was when Su Lun and Ekaterina parted in the southern suburbs. At the same time, they were in a luxurious manor in a wealthy area north of the Locovalen River.
Dozens of anxious pharmacists and nobles gathered together.
These people are discussing how to deal with the collapsed pharmaceutical market.
When they woke up today, they found that the world had changed.
Someone in the city of Linton is distributing free medicine to treat the Red Death.
At first it was just a joke.
Because virus experts have already said that no new specific drugs will be developed in the next few years at least.
But I didn’t expect it. After investigation, it turned out to be true!
Someone distributed hundreds of thousands of potions through gangster channels, and the spread of the Red Death was instantly curbed.
This did not frighten the pharmacy merchant who had a huge stockpile of goods.
Because as soon as the special new potion comes out, the [Scarlet Potion] in their hands will be worthless.
The pharmacy merchants and the nobles behind them became busy.
From morning till night, they used various policy means and public opinion slander means to block and suppress the new special medicine.
But because those who arranged the bulk cargo were all the major gangsters in Rington, those people were originally the lowest-level people who were most affected by the Red Death, and they were best at smuggling crimes.
As a result, the interception effect is not good.
"Damn it, what the **** is going on? Who released so many potions!"
"Those potions were distributed through gangster channels. I asked the police station to arrange for people to investigate, but the clues found were all false or decapitated clues. No one is sure who is at the moment. The mastermind behind the scenes..."
"What do you think that guy is going to do? Even if there is a special medicine, at least give a price and everyone can make money. Give it to those poor people for free. Doesn't this mean that we should throw away all the [Scarlet Potion] in our hands? In?"
"Hmph! If we really want us to investigate, no matter who it is, we must make him disappear completely in Luying!"
"..."
The whole day was full of bad news.
This group of nobles and lords are all furious, and they are afraid they will suffer heavy losses this time.
No!
It’s all a loss!
Yesterday, tens of thousands of [Scarlet Potions] were sold, but now they can’t be sold for even a cent!
How can you compare to someone else giving it away for free?
The only chance they can think of to make a comeback is to find out the source and eliminate it completely.
Then according to the original plan, the Red Death will spread again, causing a wider range of infections. The entire Lu Ying can even be poisoned to eliminate Marfa...
In this way, the potions in their hands will still make huge profits.
But these people have been studying for a whole day, but they still don’t understand why the person behind the scenes who spread the potion would do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?
This move has offended the entire Luying upper class society. What is it going to do?
No one can bear the consequences of this kind of behavior that directly ruins the situation for everyone!
Even the royal family!
Everyone was still discussing when they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire outside the mansion getting louder and louder.
I heard sporadic movements more than ten minutes ago, but not only did they not stop now.
Finally, they realized something was wrong.
The owner of the mansion, Marquis Edward, asked: "What's going on with the gunfire over there in Nancheng? Have you figured it out?"
Just as he said these words, a servant suddenly rushed in and reported with a horrified look: "It's not good, sir! Something big has happened!"
Everyone looked over in unison.
The servant was out of breath and said: "There is urgent news from Nancheng. Countless aberrant monsters have appeared in the city! And there are also warnings from the police station and the Military Intelligence Department, asking us to be careful. It seems that ...It seems...the appearance of those monsters is related to our [Scarlet Potion]!"
"What?!"
"The aberration incident? Didn't the police station and the Military Intelligence Department deal with it?"
"What does that have to do with our potions?"
"..."
After saying this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
But for the first time, they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and started talking about it.
But suddenly, a mysterious summoning will came without warning.
When no one realized what was happening, several of the dozens of people in the room had bulging blood vessels on their faces and looked ferocious. It was like there were scarlet worms burrowing under their skin, and these people also let out deep beast-like roars from their mouths, showing signs of distortion.
"Baron Barron, you...what's wrong with your eyes? It seems like there are bugs in your eyes!"
"Viscount House, you look ugly. Are you feeling unwell? Oh, my God, please don't scare me..."
"..."
These noble men have not yet realized what happened in front of them.
Those aberrant people suddenly rushed towards the crowd and started biting.
Blood dyed the skirt of his clothes red, like a terrifying scene of a beast ferociously pouncing on its prey.
When people died, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Damn! Guard! Guard!"
In an instant, the entire mansion was in chaos.
Not only these noble masters, but also some of the guards and servants outside have become deformed.
There were sounds of fighting everywhere.
The person who was bitten was quickly infected and transformed into a monster.
But after a moment of panic, the guards reacted quickly and killed the aberrant man.
Blood was soaked in the luxurious carpet of the hall, and in the blood, the worms were still full of vitality.
But before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they watched as the monsters with their heads smashed slowly fused and turned into a deformed fusion form with multiple limbs.
"No, these monsters can't be killed!"
Seeing this strange scene, these people were horrified and immediately thought of the "Queen Roderica Cruise Incident" in the newspaper more than a month ago, in which thousands of people were missing!
The reports at the time, "Lington Daily News" and "Queen's Metropolis Daily" both reported that one side said that he was sacrificed by a cult, and the other side said that it was a wind and wave accident.
The attitude of the Luying royal family is also very confusing, and the results of the investigation have not been released yet.
But seeing this scene in front of them, everyone understood who was lying!
Thinking again that the people who had been deformed just now were all people who had drunk the [Scarlet Potion], this group of greedy potion dealers knew that a disaster was coming.
Congressman Lance’s previous warning was correct!
There is a big problem with this potion!
For a while, gunshots were heard everywhere.
These unkillable zombie aberrations, like a tsunami, swept through the entire Lington at a terrifying speed.
......
After all, he had experienced it personally, and Su Lun was not too surprised when he heard the sound of gunfire in Linton City.
But looking at the gunfire that lit up everywhere in the city, his expression also flashed with solemnity.
Zombie aberrations infected by alien parasites are difficult for ordinary people to kill.
Either dispose of the corpse, or kill those parasites aggressively.
Otherwise, they will aggregate into more terrifying multi-faced monsters, and their strength will snowball to become stronger and stronger.
However, there are not many domineering professionals among the 30 million people in Lingtong, and most of them are concentrated in wealthy areas.
However, the wealthy area was heavily infiltrated by the Giant Monastery.
The zombies that are infected by ordinary people are not a big problem, but if professionals are really infected, their ability to be infected again is terrifying.
Those potential high-level professional believers are the "big thunders".
The situation in Nancheng is not good either. Most of the civilian areas are ordinary people and low-level professionals. Once a zombie wave breaks out in such a high-density residential area, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Anyway.
No need to think about the situation tonight, it will be very bad.
A lot of people are going to die.
Su Lun receives intelligence from the Mirror Organization through the communicator at all times, and also knows that the current situation in Linton is really very bad.
Because the Rodriguez and Ernest families belong to the Outer God camp, the two congressmen have been planning for a long time, and the followers of the evil **** have spread throughout all key departments.
In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, almost all official departments capable of handling emergencies were completely paralyzed, including the police station, city defense, security team, emergency response office, and special service office.
There were also fierce exchanges of fire between some combat departments, such as the military and the Military Intelligence Department.
This is just the beginning.
Now that the outer **** has not shown up, big changes are yet to come.
......
The situation tonight is very deep. Before the situation becomes unclear, Su Lun is not in a hurry to go to the city to join the battle.
He walked towards the city.
While walking, I suddenly thought of something and took out a three-pointed black light crown.
This is the [Profane Crown] obtained by killing William.
I didn’t have time to take a closer look before, but now I just took it out and took a look.
When Su Lun took it in his hand, it felt like iron but not iron, as if he was holding a highly condensed mixed law object, and his entire senses became clear in an instant.
"Eh..."
He let out a light sigh in his heart.
Just holding this crown in my hand, it seems that the world in my eyes is different.
Earth, wind, water, fire, light, darkness... It is obvious that the various elements of laws are perceived several times more clearly.
But at the same time, with the crown in hand, the feeling of being drained of energy also hit my heart.
Su Lun muttered again: "What a powerful curse effect..."
Because he has a [Shroud of Oz the Iceman] in his hand, he is very familiar with this feeling.
Looking at the attribute panel, it turns out that the data representing lifespan are being consumed at an accelerated rate.
It is much better than the Shroud, about 1:10.
Wearing it for one day consumes ten days of life.
But this is the most basic consumption.
If you continue to actively infuse spiritual power, the feeling of understanding the law will be clearer, but your lifespan will also be consumed faster.
Su Lun thought that Young Master William had white hair before. He probably spent a lot of life in exchange for accelerated enlightenment, and then advanced to the seventh level.
Of course, in addition to lifespan decay, the crown also has a distorting effect on mental power.
However, for the deformed Su Lun, this negative mental impact was completely ignored.
Holding the thing in his hand, he pondered it for a while, wiped a little blood on it and successfully refined it, then put it on his head.
Then, the whole head seemed to be immersed in ice water all the time, and the previous feeling of "seeing everything" suddenly became much clearer.
It’s like seeing the laws of nature operating one after another.
Some feelings that I thought were completely illusory before are now so clear, as if they can be caught at any time.
Su Lun's eyes immediately brightened: "What a powerful effect!"
With this thing, he felt inexplicably confident that he would be able to comprehend the realm and advance to the seventh level.
In the end, it just depends on how much life is consumed.
With a pinch of the Warlock Seal, a fifth-level spell of [Fire Python Technique] was released.
After observing, Su Lun discovered that the ability to control elements brought by the crown made the power of the spell half a level higher than what he had previously mastered.
Furthermore, looking at the improvement in skill perception, there are also abnormalities.
Although the difference is not noticeable to humans, there are detailed changes on the data panel.
Su Lun released a few more alchemy spells and confirmed that they were the benefits brought by the crown.
Using data as an analogy, I used to put a skill proficiency "+1", but now I put a skill proficiency "+3" or "+4".
This is several times the benefits of understanding.
Seeing this, Su Lun was greatly moved: "This blasphemous crown is really a divine aid for understanding various laws and skills."
However, wearing it for one year basically consumes ten years of life.
The vast majority of people will be stuck at the seventh level for their entire lives.
Having this crown only means the probability of improving the field of comprehension, but it is not certain.
Su Lun only prayed that he could realize his realm as soon as possible.
......
Su Lun couldn't put it down and was not ready to take the crown off after putting it on.
This feeling of clarity made his brain feel very happy.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the crown as an advanced material, which seemed to have requirements for domineering.
He just gave it a try casually, and his domineering energy lingered around his body.
In an instant, there was a soft cry.
He actually found that the feeling of lifespan diminishing was actually alleviated?
Looking at the data, it’s probably less than half of what it was before.
With this new discovery, Su Lun's eyes sparkled and he thought to himself: "Can the dominant species of domineering suppress some of the curse characteristics of the crown and reduce the life span?"
This is good news.
This means that he can spend less time in comprehending the realm.
But after thinking about it, it’s not surprising.
There are very few professionals who can understand the "dominance of dominance".
Usually some high-ranking generals, emperors and other commanding professionals must have a dominant aura.
After all, Lei Jiadi once belonged to the Marfa royal family, and this crown was originally worn by the emperor and heirs. With this hidden condition, it is reasonable.
.......
After putting on the crown, my thoughts seemed to become clearer.
As Su Lun walked from the southern suburbs, he could already see buildings one after another.
At this moment, the battle in Lindun City was already very fierce, and explosions all over the city dyed half of the sky red.
His night vision is excellent. He jumped on the roof of a building and had a panoramic view of the Queens District of Nancheng.
In the sky, small military airships were floating around the city, using loudspeakers to shout to the residents of the city.
"Everyone try to stay at home and close the door tightly!"
"Monsters will resurrect after being killed. If you can't help it, don't kill it. Please try to avoid it!"
"Don't gather in crowded places!"
"..."
These precautions are played repeatedly on the radio.
The disaster occurred less than half an hour ago. The one who could react so quickly and tell the whole city about the characteristics of the monster must be the opposition alliance united by Lance and Raphael.
The monsters on the street cannot threaten the airship for the time being, but rocket launchers of unknown origin will still be seen shooting out of the street and knocking down the airship. Then there was another fierce battle.
The people fighting are not only people and monsters, but also people and believers of alien gods.
Looking up at the sky, the moonlight also showed a strange blood-red color, shining on the fog that filled the city of Rington, as if it had covered the entire city with a layer of blood-colored gauze.
Su Lun took a look and found that it was [moonlight with slight mental pollution].
The reddish moonlight in Rington appeared when the Red Death began to spread. The red tonight is the most eerie, and also reveals the effects of pollution. It is not difficult to see that this is the method of the foreign god.
"Polluted the moon?"
Su Lun murmured, inexplicably thinking of an acquaintance's method.
After asking Mr. Hei about the situation, members of the Dawn Organization have arrived and they are trying their best to deal with the monsters.
Screams were heard one after another in the streets, and the streets were filled with zombies wandering around. In the hazy fog, many tall "hundred-faced monsters" and "thousand-faced monsters" can already be seen.
Su Lun plans to join Mr. Hei and the others.
Today's situation cannot be reversed by individual heroism. Only by gathering forces together can we solve some problems while protecting ourselves.
At this moment when he was communicating, suddenly, hundreds of panicked civilians rushed out from a foggy street corner not far away.
This is Cobbler Street on Newmant Avenue in Queens, one of the oldest urban areas and one of the most densely populated areas.
"Run away! The monster is catching up!"
The crowd ran out in panic.
Behind them, a group of zombie monsters were chasing after them.
Because it was a suburb, a monster attack suddenly broke out, and a large number of residents ran wildly on the streets, trying to escape from the city.
There were constant distortions in the crowd. Although a few low-level professionals shot back at the monsters, not only were the monsters not killed, but they were increasing in number and chasing them closer and closer.
The unknown fear that people around them may become deformed at any time, makes people's eyes full of panic and despair.
The crowd rushed past and looked at someone standing "silly" on the street. A kind-hearted uncle anxiously pulled a hand and shouted at the same time: "Young man, don't be stunned, run away. ! If you are bitten by those monsters, you will turn into a monster!"
Su Lun didn’t leave.
The uncle didn't have time to say a second sentence, so he could only run away anxiously and helplessly.
The crowd ran past him, but he still stood quietly.
Until an instant, a zombie rushed over with bared teeth. Su Lun's eyes suddenly froze, and he rushed towards the group of monsters with a domineering presence on his body.
Although what happened tonight cannot be reversed by any personal ability, he still plans to solve the immediate problem first.
Furthermore, seeing those monsters, he was also ready to confirm a conjecture.
These are first-level aberrations, which pose no threat to high-level professionals and can be destroyed with one punch.
Su Lun rushed into the monster super water, like a **** of death, able to kill several monsters with one punch.
Those monsters smelled the breath of living people and swarmed over.
There was no need for Su Lun to chase them everywhere. In just a few encounters, he beat the monsters into pieces of mutilated flesh.
Hundreds of zombies died cleanly.
Not far away, the crowd of people who were running out of breath looked dumbfounded.
In the foggy streets, strange movements are getting louder and louder, and it seems that more monsters are coming out. These people did not dare to stay longer. After thanking Su Lun repeatedly, they fled towards the suburbs in panic.
Su Lun looked at the few monsters that were chasing after him sporadically. An idea flashed in his mind, and he swung his black sickle to kill them all in two.
This kind of pure physical attack could not completely kill those monsters. He did not look any further. He condensed the spell and raised one hand forward: "Void Blood Devouring!"
In an instant, a space vortex formed, and a huge void suction sucked in all the scarlet limb fragments of the surrounding monsters.
Not long after, the life essence was sucked away, leaving a piece of impurity powder on the ground.
After digesting the life essence, Su Lun frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something abnormal.
At the same time as it was being devoured, the three monsters not far away that had been sliced open by the black scythe also fused and condensed into a zombie with three faces and six arms and stood up.
Su Lun raised his eyebrows, teleported over and blasted with a punch.
He once again used the [Blood Devour] ability to devour the stumps with red bugs on them.
In an instant, his energy and blood were abundant, and his face was slightly rosy.
After carefully identifying the changes in Qi, blood and strength data, he finally confirmed something, and said to himself energetically: "Sure enough, these evil **** parasites are really at a very high level of life, far superior to creatures of the same level. Much more. The face monster has more life essence than a few zombies combined."
He had this conjecture when he harvested the demon monk Las Lisboa before.
It's now confirmed.
The fusion of [Isaac's Giant Power] still has a long way to go before the strength attribute reaches the threshold. He had accidentally obtained a few [Blood Refined Crystal Cores] before, which greatly increased his power.
After that, the crystal core was never found again, and the improvement has been slow.
Su Lun estimated that he would slowly absorb it and it would take at least a year and a half to meet the conditions.
But now, he saw a new way.
That is to absorb the alien parasites in these aberrant monsters.
Although the situation is unclear at the moment, it is inevitable that if he absorbs more monsters, the strength the Outer God can recover will be reduced!
And Su Lun just discovered that the perception effect of [Desecrated Crown] will be doubled during the battle.
No matter what stage a professional is at, fighting is the best shortcut to anything that requires understanding.
Battle + Crown = multiple shortcuts!
There is a catastrophe right now, but there are also hidden opportunities.
......
Su Lun thought of this and immediately dialed Mr. Hei's communicator and asked: "Mr. Hei, do you know where the monsters are most densely populated in the city now? I have an idea..."
This is a very dangerous plan. Once the outside **** notices that someone is poaching him, he will definitely take care of it.
But at the same time, it may not be an opportunity.
Su Lun is not a weakling. If you want to kill him, you must at least be a professional of level seven or above.
And he is not alone. He can't be killed even if he comes to the seventh level.
Once the eighth-level masters from the Giant Monastery arrive, or the alien **** comes in person, there will naturally be top professionals like Master Pierre and Mr. Mirror to greet them.
The current situation is that the longer it is delayed, the more people in Lingdun will be contaminated, and the stronger the outer **** will be.
An early decisive battle may not be a bad thing!
Opportunities and risks coexist.
If Su Lun can plunder enough of the outer god's blood from the fierce battle, he will not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also greatly shorten the time it takes for him to fuse the conditions for giant colonization.
Even with the blessing of the crown, he may not be unable to realize the "great opportunity" in such a dangerous battle!
