Chapter 323 Blood Pill
Hearing the sound, Gillan and Maiev looked at each other.
Swish——
The two did not communicate with each other, but they acted at the same time in tacit understanding.
As soon as they moved, they took the initiative to attack and rushed to the door of the storage room. One on the left and one on the right, each of them stuck to the wall and took out their own guns.
Gillan's was a silver short-barreled revolver, the alchemical firearm "Echo". Maiev's was an equally small and powerful white pistol, which should also be an alchemical product, and only the first-level committee leader is qualified to be equipped.
Maiev raised her hand and made a simple gesture to Gillan.
Gillan saw it clearly and understood her meaning instantly - wait, ambush, and attack unexpectedly.
He nodded and also made a gesture to indicate that he would be responsible for the back-up.
After Maiev changed his gestures again to agree, the strange men who broke into the factory just happened to arrive in the dim passage.
Clang.
Crash.
The sound of shoes stomping on the iron mesh road was getting closer and closer. When the figure flashed, Maiev suddenly attacked with a cold face.
She slashed horizontally with a knife and hit the throat of the person accurately.
Puff! !
With a muffled sound, the throat and neck of the figure were broken, and he fell backwards with his four legs facing the sky.
Maiev did not stop, raised his other hand, and pulled the trigger continuously into the passage.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots suddenly appeared, and two more people were shot and fell.
Gilan followed closely behind, sticking his head out to follow the fire.
Bang bang bang bang! !
Fireworks flickered in the darkness, bullets streaked across the tracer, hit the human body, and blood plasma spurted out. Sparks also splashed on the iron mesh ground, making a tinkling sound.
"Only two people! Fight back!!"
There were more figures moving at the back of the passage. They saw their companions being attacked and killed. They were shocked at first, and then roared fearlessly.
This group of people also pulled out their guns and fired back at the corner where Gillan and Maiwei were.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang! !
In an instant, the sound of gunfire was loud and continuous.
Gillan and Maiwei had already retreated to the bunker, looking calm and not panicking at all.
"Take the 'blood pill' and rush in together!"
Another man spoke in the passage.
After only a few seconds, Maiwei frowned and turned to Gillan and said:
"There are seven more people rushing in together."
"Close combat." Gillan responded with two words indifferently.
The next second, he put the gun back into the holster, swung his hand, and a gray and simple cane appeared in his palm, holding the whole person upside down and jumped out.
"I'll cover you, light the fire."
Gillan threw down a sentence and rushed into the passage without looking back.
Maiwei hummed, put away the gun, took out the most familiar matchbox, and directly lit one.
Swoosh!
She took a burning match, took two steps forward, and stood at the end of the passage.
But when she blew air at the flame, she looked up and was startled.
In front of Jilan, there were seven crooked and twisted strange figures. Although their bodies were no different from those of ordinary people, they were obviously muscular, and their mouths were opened to an exaggerated degree.
Seven or eight white "thin snakes" came out of their mouths, raised their bodies, and danced in the air.
It was as if huge and strange "white flowers" bloomed from the mouths of this group of people.
Jilan intercepted the passage alone, one person and one stick, dancing with afterimages, colliding with countless white snakes, making a crisp metal collision sound.
Swish, swish, swish——
Clang clang clang clang!!
"Huh?!" He kept waving his stick, quickly blocking the white snake heads that were ejected like machine guns, and making a sound of surprise.
The people in front of him were obviously only apprentice-level physical fitness, but the white snakes growing from their mouths were quite difficult to deal with, and even had the lethality of a master.
Woo!
Jilan swung his gray staff and instantly transformed it into a flower basket cross sword form, and then performed the secret sword technique that was so skilled that it was engraved into his bones.
Sssss!!
A cold light suddenly appeared, and the six-pointed star sword shadow flashed.
There was only a sharp friction sound, sparks burst, and the heads of the white snakes were cut off by Jilan, and they fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
He had a cold face, and the sword body was sent forward, breaking through the air.
Chiss, chiss, chiss!!
The Aries Sword, the Taurus Sword, and the Lion Sword stabbed out one after another, and in just a blink of an eye, they pierced through a person's eyebrows, throat and heart.
The sword technique was so fast that it seemed to work at the same time.
Ordinary people couldn't see the sword shadow at all, and they might have died.
Jilan drew his sword and stepped forward, moving sideways. With the sound of breaking through the air, he narrowly avoided the bites of several white snakes.
His eyes were calm, and he swung his hand and slashed with the secret sword again, swinging several sword shadows as fast as lightning.
The necks of the strange men were immediately cut off by the sword!
Their heads flew off.
But even if these people were beheaded, the snakes in their mouths were not affected. They still looked like a bunch of white flowers "growing" on the ground, dancing towards Jilan.
"Mr. Jilan!"
Maiev suddenly reminded him from behind.
Thum!
Jilan did not look back, and retreated in tacit understanding.
While avoiding the snakes, a scorching air wave enveloped him. The orange-red fire instantly illuminated the dark passage, and more than a dozen basketball-sized fireballs flew from behind him and landed in front of him over his shoulders.
Blazing! !
The fireball hit the enemy, instantly igniting them into a human torch, sparks splashed to the ground, and also burned the snakes.
Instantly, the shadows of people and snakes twisted in the passage, and there were screams and roars.
…
…
After a while.
The passage was a mess.
Broken limbs, human heads, snake carcasses and black coal were everywhere, and the air was filled with thick green smoke and burnt odor.
"What's going on with these people?"
Maiev squatted on the ground, inspecting the corpse, and couldn't help but frown.
She found several cards and a paper ball from the pocket of a slightly complete body.
After some inspection, Maiev stood up again.
"They are members of the Blood Harbor gang. They are responsible for 'scavenging' in the city, searching for all valuable materials, especially whale oil batteries."
She turned back and said to Gillan.
"It seems that these guys must have gotten some news and came to the MacMillan Energy Plant specifically..."
"Yes." Gilan nodded, looking at the corpses of snakes on the ground with a thoughtful look on his face.
The scene of fighting with this group of people just now reminded him of the "Autumn Shang Familia" he encountered at the bottom of the Nusi Lake in the "Enlightenment Fire" series of movies.
The thin white snake that looked like a "parasite" really impressed him.
'The Chorus, the Autumn Shang Family, the Blood Harbor Gang...'
Ji Lan secretly thought in his heart.
At this time, Maiev handed over the small paper ball in her hand again and said:
"By the way, there's also this... what was found on them should be the so-called 'blood pills'."
"Let me see."
Jilan took the small ball of paper, and Maiev had partially opened it, revealing a red ball inside.
The size of a fingernail, round, and dark red in color.
At the same time, the entry prompt of "Beautiful" also appeared from above Hongwan:
"Blood Beast Secret Pill (Hibernation)."
"A mysterious pill made from the 'Autumn Death Worm Eggs' that parasitizes in the heart of the 'Red Whale', and mixed with many mysterious ingredients."
"After taking it, it will be parasitized by the 'Autumn Death Worm', absorbing the host's nutrients and feeding back its strength. It can be fully activated and release the Fall Death Worm in the body outside the body, but it cannot leave the host's body."
Looking at the "blood pill" in his hand, Jilan's eyes narrowed.
'No wonder the Blood Harbor gang secretly purchased the "Red Whale Heart" from Macmillan Energy Factory, probably because the parasites in it are needed to prepare this pill. ’
"Take it back to Chairman Parra."
Gilan gestured to Maiev with the paper ball in his hand.
The latter nodded in agreement and said again:
"Mr. Gillan, then I'm going to move the whale oil battery. Please pick up the body and clear the passage."
"No problem." Gillan said.
This is just what he wanted...
After Maiev returned to the storage room, he dragged the corpses on the ground one by one to the corner of the factory outside, and then tried to activate "Beautiful".
Colorful light burst out from his fingertips, and the corpses of these gang members quickly began to decay, turning into powder and dissipating.
The mysterious points contained in corpses are generally around 10. After all the decay is completed, the color number in the corner of Gillan's sight reaches "608".
'It's enough to deduce the fourth level of essence...'
Ji Lan felt happy.
Immediately, he stood up without changing his expression, returned to the storage room, and helped Maiev carry the whale oil battery.
…
…
Half an hour ago.
South of Late Autumn Town.
At the end of the desolate street, a gray building stands, with the words "Energy Administration" hanging above the entrance hall.
It's just that it's pitch black inside now, and not a single human figure can be seen around, leaving only dead silence.
Two men and women in black trench coats, one tall and one short, climbed up the steps and opened the door cautiously.
"Kaya, look for them separately."
Garnold turned his head and spoke to the petite woman beside him.
"I'll go upstairs and take a look. You might be able to find something if you search the hall."
"Okay, leave it to me." Kaya patted her flat chest and grinned. "Be careful yourself."
Garnold nodded and walked towards the stairs. Meerkat Robin stood on his shoulder, looking left and right, in a state of vigilance and sentry.
A long while.
He searched carefully on the second floor, but found nothing.
After arriving on the third floor, Garnold found a wall cabinet full of "whale oil batteries" in one of the rooms.
But before he could be happy, he discovered that the batteries were just samples, just an empty shell, and the whale oil inside had long been used up.
"Alas." Garnold sighed.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, as well as Kaya's furious voice of concern:
"Hey, did you find anything here?"
"without……"
Garnold looked back, and before he could reply, he saw a petite woman with twin tails walking in quickly.
The other party's eyes lit up when he saw the wall cabinet full of "whale oil batteries".
"It's nothing! Isn't this all?!"
"It's just a sample." Garnold shook his head helplessly. "It's better to look for it again."
"Ah?" Kaya approached him with a frustrated face. "I've searched all downstairs, but there's nothing there..."
"Then I hope other groups can gain something."
Garnold shrugged.
The two of them were preparing to leave one after another. Robin the meerkat on his shoulder suddenly chirped twice, and then pulled his hair.
"Wait, someone is coming!"
Garnold's face became solemn, he suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal. He turned back and winked at Kaya, who nodded silently.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Accompanied by a woman’s call:
"Hey, Garnod, how are you doing?"
"Huh?!"
Garnod's face changed drastically.
Because the voice coming from outside was actually Kaya!
Then behind him...
Garnod turned his head suddenly, but his pupils shrank.
…
…
"Garnod?"
Kaya frowned slightly and called again.
When she was about to reach the door of the room, a figure walked out first.
It was Garnod.
"I didn't get anything here."
He sighed and shook his head.
"I thought I found it, but there are only some empty shells of samples inside..."
Kaya looked around doubtfully.
There was no one in the room, and there was indeed only a wall of "whale oil battery" samples.
At this time, just when Kaya was feeling disappointed, Mr. Gilan's voice suddenly came from the headset.
Hearing that the Gilan-Mawei duo had found a whole box of "D1" whale oil batteries at the McMillan Energy Plant, Kaya's depression dissipated.
Looking up, Garnod also smiled. Even Robin, the meerkat on the other's shoulder, clapped his paws happily.
"Since Mr. Gillan has found it, let's go back."
Garnod smiled.
Kaya was in a good mood and hummed.
However, she did not realize that the smile on Garnod's face was imperceptibly meaningful.
…
…
In the evening.
Two groups of gravediggers met at the military underground miasma shelter in the west of the town.
When they saw twelve barrel-sized "D1" whale oil batteries neatly stacked in a pile, they couldn't help but smile.
"Since the energy source has been found, I will contact Lieutenant Colonel Torre and ask him to help send someone to park the requisitioned whaling ship at the designated location."
Ms. Theresa said.
"Everyone take a rest for a night, and we will set off early tomorrow morning to the nameless island."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"You two did a good job, and the merits of this mission will add to your achievements."
When the meeting was adjourned, Ms. Theresa smiled and said to Gillan and Mawei.
Hearing this, Maiev couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't help but feel lucky that it was a blessing to be able to carry out the mission with Mr. Gillan.
Thinking of this, Maiev glanced at the blond young man.
The latter noticed her gaze and responded with a polite smile, which made Maiev happy.
But what she didn't know was that Gillan's mind was no longer here...
At night.
After eating some bread, mashed potatoes and canned meat with the team members, Gillan found an excuse to wander around the underground miasma shelter.
Finally, he found a quiet room.
This was originally a psychological counseling room, specially used to comfort soldiers with mental problems.
Now no one is using the room, and the sound insulation effect is also very good, which is quite suitable for Gillan's next deduction.
He locked the door, walked to the cabinet in the corner, sat on the ground, and closed his eyes.
He called out in his heart:
'Banlan, deduction! '
