Chapter 104 Escape

The entire steel fortress shook violently in an instant. Anyone inside the steel fortress could hear the terrible "creaking" sound of the supporting load-bearing steel frame. Not only that, the terrible fire spread in an instant.

In the control area, various instruments either completely failed or began to run wildly, emitting sizzling electric sparks. At the same time, the alarm system began to intervene, and red light flashed around. Cold and ruthless electronic synthesized voices rang continuously:

"Please note that the fortress has completely lost control. It is recommended to prepare to abandon the ship!"

"Please note that the fortress has completely lost control. It is recommended to prepare to abandon the ship!"

""

The explosion was so violent that not only Du Yuqi, but also the initiator, Duize, who placed the bomb, did not expect such a consequence.

This is also normal, because Duize placed five time bombs, one of which was placed in the fuel transmission pipeline, and the original design of the steel fortress was to be a comprehensive platform integrating mining and processing, which can be used for preliminary refining, so the main pipeline for fuel transmission will connect three important areas, the mining area, the production area, and the power area!

Under normal operating conditions, after the mining area sucked the crystal source liquid out from the ground, it was input into the production area, so that the heavy, dirty and rancid source liquid could be processed into clean, light and odorless crystal blocks immediately. At the same time, the engines and generators designed in the power area could directly use the crystal source liquid to supply energy and generate electricity.

The crystal source liquid was originally a flammable and explosive substance. After being triggered by Duize's time bomb, it immediately burned a raging fire and spread in all directions. Even if the main structure of the steel fortress was made of steel, it still couldn't stop the crazy spread of the fire.

At this time, Du Yuqi heard the explosion outside stop slightly, and then he got out from under an overturned desk in a very embarrassed manner. He looked smoky and even his hair and eyebrows were curled by the burns. Not only that, even the skin on his face was black and white, and there were many burns on his body.

It turned out that Du Yuqi himself underestimated the power of the explosion. He thought that he would be safe as long as the alloy door was several tens of centimeters thick. Unexpectedly, after the explosion, the alloy metal door only lasted for a few seconds before it began to twist and deform. Du Yuqi turned around and fled immediately. As a result, within 20 seconds of his escape, the alloy door was completely damaged by the high temperature and high pressure, and the wrinkles were like a rag and completely destroyed.

Du Yuqi used the temporary authority of the key on his body to close the four or five cabin doors at the back in succession, and finally hid on a table in an office, which barely avoided the invasion of the erupting fire wave that swept in.

Even so, he was also covered in dust, and there was also a raging fire and thick smoke outside.

However, Du Yuqi was thinking about one thing at this time. After the clown was locked in the crystal refining workshop by him, it seemed that something had happened. Although the alloy door would block the view after closing, there was still a special visual system next to it to see the situation inside. At the moment of detonating the bomb, Du Yuqi found that the clown seemed to shine with a strange light, and then was engulfed by flames and thick smoke.

"It is impossible for anyone to survive such an explosion." Du Yuqi thought carefully and comforted himself in his mind: "Even a piece of steel would be burned, let alone a flesh and blood body?"

After thinking about it, he felt relieved, and then he covered his chest and coughed violently, looking very painful.

There is a saying that killing 10,000 enemies will hurt 3,000 of his own. Du Yuqi's strength was originally inferior to that of the clown. In order to lure him into the trap, he repeatedly used the self-torture strategy, which caused him to be seriously injured and was already at the end of his strength.

Moreover, although Du Yuqi did deliberately hold back during the battle with the clown, the remaining strength had been completely consumed in the previous desperate run to avoid the explosion. Now that the enemy was gone, he felt pain all over his body as soon as he relaxed. He could only cheer up and treat his injuries with a grimace.

As for the impending crash of the Iron Fortress, Du Yuqi was not worried, because as long as the anti-gravity laboratory was still operating, the Iron Fortress would only be out of control and would not crash. At the same time, the protection around the anti-gravity laboratory was the top priority, and the interior of the Iron Fortress also imitated the setting of the watertight compartment of a ship.

Therefore, the biggest situation will be that as the fire spreads to every corner of the Iron Fortress, the thirteen supply stations distributed on the Iron Fortress will be damaged one by one. After the energy received by the anti-gravity laboratory is gradually weakened, the anti-gravity effect produced will also gradually weaken. Therefore, although the crash of the Iron Fortress is inevitable, it will not suddenly fall from the air like a weight, and there is enough buffer time.

For someone with strong physical fitness like Du Yuqi, as long as the Iron Fortress descends to a certain height, he can save his life by jumping down with a sturdy and durable umbrella in his hand. Moreover, he has a temporary key with the highest authority, so it is not difficult to find an escape pod for safe landing.

Of course, more importantly, Du Yuqi's summoning time may end at any time, and by then he will have successfully returned to the earth. Even if there are a hundred nuclear bombs when it crashes here, it will not have any effect on him.

After Du Yuqi stayed in this office for a while, he found that the fire had been spreading non-stop. The raging fire made the metal floor hot, so he evacuated to the rear.

It is worth mentioning that Du Yuqi wanted to lead the clown into the ambush before, so he deliberately fled to the production area, because Duize's bombs were installed there.

The production area was originally the place where small crystal blocks were produced. In terms of value, small crystal blocks have a very wide range of application value on the Arad continent at this time-so, the actual significance here is similar to that of a banknote printing factory. According to common sense, a very strict entry and exit system must be implemented.

In terms of confidentiality, the production method of small crystal blocks cannot be spread out, otherwise it will inevitably cause an uproar. It is precisely because of this two-pronged reason that the production area is actually a relatively closed area. In order to facilitate management, no matter how complicated the passages in the production area are, how vast the area is, and how complicated the staff working in it is, there is only one gate for people to enter and exit.

Du Yuqi wanted to leave the production area at this time, so he naturally had to escape from this gate, otherwise there would be no way out. However, the raging fire had already covered the only passage, and the thick smoke filled the air. The smell of burning was particularly pungent. If it were an ordinary person, he would be almost fainted by the toxic smoke before he even approached the fire.

Seeing this situation, Du Yuqi had no choice but to take out a prepared thick coat from the dimensional ring on his finger and put it on, then wrapped his head and face with a scarf, and finally took out a barrel of Nongfu Spring and poured it on himself from head to toe. After pouring three buckets of water in a row, he felt that his clothes had absorbed enough water, and finally put on a pair of swimming goggles to protect his eyes, and then rushed towards the fire.

As soon as he entered the fire scene, he was immediately covered by raging flames. Fortunately, it was not like the furnace was full of flames. There were fires in some places and no fire in others. Du Yuqi relied on the protection of his eyes with swimming goggles to weave through the fire scene and quickly approached the exit of the production area.

The exit of the production area was divided into three sub-channels. When the production area was fully operational, people going to and from work every day had to line up in turn to pass the scanning of the sub-channel instruments to ensure that no contraband was brought in or out, otherwise they would be locked out.

The fire had already burned here, and the door of the sub-channel had failed, so if Du Yuqi wanted to go out, he had to break the transparent plastic steel glass door in front. When he made his move, he suddenly found that there was a hole in the plastic steel glass door of the side channel, and this hole was enough for people to get out.

Seeing this hole, Du Yuqi's heart suddenly trembled! He immediately ignored the blazing fire behind him and went to check, because the switch malfunctioned only a few minutes ago. Before that, if the other workers in the production area noticed the explosion and wanted to escape, they all had identity verification, so how could they need to use violence?

At the same time, if you want to break the plastic steel door in such a raging fire, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. After Du Yuqi went up to check, his face became even gloomier. After the plastic steel door was broken, its edge can be said to be very rugged, like jagged teeth, so if you drill it in a hurry, it is inevitable that there will be scratches.

Du Yuqi found a piece of clothing that was torn off and a lot of flesh and blood at the place where the edge of the plastic steel door was broken like wolf teeth. Obviously, when passing through the damaged plastic steel door, this guy was very careless and was deeply scratched-Du Yuqi could not identify the owner of the blood with the naked eye, but he recognized that piece of clothing. It was the fabric on the goose yellow pants worn by the clown! !

Although Du Yuqi didn't know how the clown escaped from the terrible explosion, there was no doubt that this guy had a very high chance of not dying!

"Asshole" Du Yuqi's facial muscles trembled for a moment. After identifying the direction, he suddenly found a few bloodstains on the ground. They should be the bloodstains that flowed down from the scratches when the clown fled in a panic, and he immediately chased after him.

After Du Yuqi chased him out for only thirty or forty meters, he immediately found half a bloody handprint on the door next to him. Du Yuqi walked into the room and checked it out. He immediately found an overturned water cup on the table in the room, and a ball of bloody vomit next to the water cup.

Seeing this, Du Yuqi immediately restored what happened at the scene. It should be that the clown saw water on the table in the room at the transparent porthole outside. He had just escaped from the fire not long ago, and he must have been thirsty, so he pushed the door in to drink water. As a result, because of too much physical exertion/serious injuries, drinking too much water directly led to vomiting.

Du Yuqi then chased forward, because the clown did not have the temporary key with the highest authority like him, so he could not enter many passages and his escape routes were quite limited. In addition, the clown should be seriously injured and had to rest against the wall every time he walked a certain distance. wwｗ...ｃ Du Yuqi followed the bloody handprints and bloodstains on the ground so as not to lose him.

Of course, more importantly, Du Yuqi is definitely a person who plans before he acts. If he is not sure and has a trump card, he will not act rashly. The last trump card Du Yuqi relies on is the top alchemy potion he is carrying at this time. It is said that Remi's Aid has touched the rules of the world.

It is said that before you consider victory, you should consider defeat first. Du Yuqi feels that even if he cannot defeat the clown, he can survive successfully with this trump card in hand.

Du Yuqi probably chased the clown four or five hundred meters away, and saw the clown limping in front of him. At this time, Du Yuqi looked very embarrassed, but the clown looked even more embarrassed than him. How to say it, it was like a rooster that was thrown into the furnace and roasted for five or six minutes without plucking its feathers. Most of the parts were charred black. Not only that, even the hair was burnt for more than half, which looked very funny.

However, no matter who it is, seeing the clown gritting his teeth and moving forward step by step, they would definitely not laugh, because they could see the determination and tenacity revealed in his dull and clumsy movements, the kind of stubbornness that would never give up unless it meant death! ! That desire and persistence for life even made Du Yuqi feel in awe! (To be continued.)wt
