Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 113 Explosion in the Laboratory (for Subscription)

Su Lun and Kai evacuated on motorcycles according to the scheduled route, changed to another motorcycle halfway, and traveled for another section.

The fact that they haven't been caught up for so long means that their finishing work has been handled very cleanly.

The first stage of the robbery was finally nothing wrong.

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

In fact, Su Lun noticed the abnormality earlier, and the feeling came very quickly. Kai had only spoken halfway, and Su Lun's face changed suddenly: "Get out of the car!"

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

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

It seemed as if something was about to emerge from the ground, and it rolled violently, making it difficult to stand still.

A moment later, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the ears, deafening.

boom boom~

The shock wave hit like an overwhelming sea, and the air was squeezed so hard that people could not breathe for a moment. A huge force hit the bulletproof plate with a "bang", and the two of them were almost thrown away.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough. After the shock wave passed, although it was a bit disheartened, it did not suffer any damage.

Kai patted the dust on his body, looked at the direction of the explosion, and muttered with an expression of disbelief, "It couldn't be that the incendiary bombs we dropped detonated some underground methane pool, right?"

Apart from this, there seems to be no better explanation.

"Probably not. The distance difference is too great."

Su Lun stared at the rising mushroom cloud and responded.

Suddenly, he realized something.

The convoy just now was going to the secret laboratory

The explosion is exactly that direction

Could it be

Was it the secret lab that exploded?

The explosion came suddenly.

The outer city has a large area, but usually only when there are buildings, can there be human gatherings.

This "Desolate Park" in Xicheng seems to have been an ancient park, desolate and inaccessible.

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

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

Moreover, because of the explosion, a series of clues in his mind were instantly connected together, and a glamorous face appeared in an instant. It was the S-rank female wanted criminal with a reward of three million!

"It's not really that woman, is it?"

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

When he went to rescue Danny's three friends in the knight block, he met that woman.

At that time, Su Lun hadn't figured out why she committed the crime against the wind and went to trouble a human trafficker.

Now that the shipment was intercepted, he also knew that the Steam Party would send supplies to a certain laboratory. And this laboratory is researching "X Serum", and the location is somewhere in the west city.

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

Because he once learned from Danny that the high-level leaders of the Black Tower had done a lot of live experiments for the progress of the "X Serum Project".

Now that the research is still going on, it makes sense to need a large population for the experiment.

It is impossible to set up that kind of living laboratory in the inner city, so the outer city, where human lives are so cheap, is perfect.

And the woman went to the human trafficker, most likely because she wanted to use clues of the whereabouts of the population to lock the location of the laboratory!

So, is she the real bomber?

"That woman stole an important item for extracting 'X potion'. If she really blew up the outer city laboratory now, the higher-ups of the Black Tower will probably jump out of anger."

Su Lun suddenly became interested in that woman.

It is a pity for a person with faith to die.

Su Lun guessed the cause of the explosion, but he was not interested in staying any longer. Anyway, it wasn't his own home that was blown up.

He greeted Kai and said, "Let's go, there should be a lot of people watching the fun in a while."

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

"Well, 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, it is probably not a coincidence that the time of the explosion coincided with the day they robbed.

That kind of secret laboratory cannot be entered and exited at any time like a vegetable market for the sake of secrecy. It is very likely that today is the day for 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.

The woman probably got in through other means.

However, everything has nothing to do with them.

They are just ordinary little robbers.

Su Lun and the others didn't bring the goods back to their residence on Green Street. Instead, they found some remote places in bad buildings and sewers along the way, and hid the things in batches.

After arranging some early warning measures, the two burned the clothes they had committed the crime, dealt with all traces that might be traced, and then returned to Green Street.

The news of the explosion in the XC area quickly spread throughout the outer city, and even the top executives of the Cross Society sent people to find out what happened.

However, the news circulating among ordinary gang members is that the biogas explosion, and it seems that some people in the Steam Party deliberately controlled the news, and no word about "laboratory" was heard.

As for the "robbery case" that Su Lun and the others participated in, I don't know if the Steam Party planned to investigate secretly, or it was all included in the explosion. At least there is no news of anyone looking for that batch of goods, or the robbers.

But the calmer it is, the bigger things are.

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

This time, the price is not marked. It says: Those who provide valid information, depending on the value of the information, can obtain permanent residency in the inner city, hereditary titles, and any existing curse materials recorded by the Alchemy Union

It can be seen that the bounty offerer has become "exhausted".

This unprecedented reward price is enough to tempt almost anyone.

Permanent residency in the inner city is a benefit that almost everyone in the outer city wants to fight for;

The hereditary title, even if the big families in the inner city saw it, they would dig three feet and try to find him;

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

This is just a reward for providing intelligence!

Moreover, the reward order this time only posted the original photo of the woman, as well as various disguise photos, as well as detailed data on height, bones, and dimensions.

The pink-haired bunny girl costume that Su Lun had seen before was also impressively included.

In other words, even if she covers her head, anyone with a heart can recognize who she is by her figure!

Su Lun felt that with such a reward, it would be difficult for the "walking vault" not to be caught.

Thinking of waiting for the next meeting of the small circle of high-level professionals in the black market, he planned to inquire about the news, and by the way, ask Mr. Hei if he is interested in that batch of goods.

Right now, Su Lun has another important job.

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

Su Lun didn't read the "Diary of Living Corpse Research" much before because he felt that it was meaningless to study it.

At least not for the time being.

Translating those ancient ciphertexts would waste a lot of his time and energy, and the research content is too high-end to be used for translation.

The most important thing is that without the key thing of "X serum", it is impossible to study the living corpse successfully.

But it's different now, Su Lun has the finished X serum in his hand.

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

Not only can I try to make a "living corpse", but if the serum can be applied to human beings, it seems very good to give myself a shot.

After returning from the robbery, Su Lun didn't run around, but stayed in the basement and began to study the ciphertext in "Diary of a Living Corpse".

Most of the classics left by ancient alchemists are encrypted.

The more advanced the content, the higher the encryption.

It is almost impossible to decipher a never-before-seen ancient code by one's own strength alone.

But there is also a shortcut to modern learning to decipher codes, that is, "cryptography" is now a systematic subject of the Black Tower Academy.

A large group of cryptography experts and archaeologists studied all day long, deciphered the laws of a large number of ancient ciphertexts, and compiled various cryptography into textbooks.

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

The vast majority of ordinary people look at the dazzling encryption methods, and there are formulas that can be applied.

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

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

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

This also greatly reduces the time for deciphering and reduces the difficulty.

Moreover, Su Lun also has a shortcut among shortcuts, that is [Pupil of Omniscience].

Before he had read "An Encyclopedia of Ancient Code Deciphering", seeing those ciphertexts with specific rules, the pupil of omniscience might prompt "This is a piece of text with the 'three-grid horizontal and vertical vertical displacement encryption law'";

After reading it, it has now directly become "a piece of ciphertext compiled by the 'Raliyah Encryption Method'".

This is also the pattern he gradually discovered after using the [Pupil of Omniscience] for so long. That is, the intelligence identified by the eyes will appear in the easiest-to-understand form that matches his cognitive description.

The more knowledge Su Lun had, the easier it would be to understand what was identified.

Now it is used to decipher the password. When Su Lun reads the contents of the diary, he will directly prompt the specific name of the encryption method.

Then he only needs to look up the content of the relevant password in the textbook like looking up a dictionary, and directly apply the formula to decipher it.

This saved him a lot of time.
