Chapter 104: The Crisis
Chapter 104: Crisis
The coral formed by this kind of scale was very large. Wang Hu discovered that it was just the tip of the iceberg. The interior of this geothermal well was actually very vast. I don’t know how the people of Picheng managed to open up the underground water veins. In the fifth century
The ten-meter-deep geothermal well suddenly became wider and turned into an underground aquifer with no visible edges.
He held his breath and continued to dive. The sudden uninvited guests disturbed the quiet life of the crabs. A group of white crabs crawled out in groups from the scale sediments. The scale sediments once housed a group of tube-shaped worms. After the worms died,
Later, a large number of hollows were formed, and now these hollows have become a paradise for white crabs.
Wang Hu also discovered that thick black smoke was constantly emerging from the aquifer. This was a water flow rich in minerals that gushes out from the sediment in the aquifer. A long time ago, Piltover
Based on the intensive volcanic activity in the Picheng area, scientists speculate that there should be many mantle fracture zones underground.
This is caused by the mutual extrusion and friction between the marine plate of the Guardian Sea and the Valoran continental plate. These aquifer hydrothermal fluids are surging with a large amount of black material and are rich in toxicity. Wang Hu hasn't gotten close yet.
I felt the skin in the bone armor tingling, and then I quickly left that area.
In addition, a large number of glass sponges were also discovered. These web-like creatures often extend their bodies to prey on fungi and small fish. They usually parasitize in the folds of solidified lava. Symbiotic with them are a large number of tube-shaped worms, the largest
A tube-shaped worm is actually one meter and a half long, and its body surface is light red and white in color.
The intestines are red and white like mutton rolls and want to be dragged out of the body, which makes people feel disgusting. These tube-shaped worms have no internal organs, but there are some bacteria on the outer wall that can absorb sulfide substances from hot water and convert them into sulfuric acid.
Salt, thus providing energy to the tube worms, is a completely symbiotic system.
The Xilin loach shuttled among this large group of tube worms. These milky-white creatures swam very fast, and King Tiger could not catch them with his hands in the water. Fortunately, he had woven a fishing net with dead branches and leaves from the forest in advance, so
I was lucky enough to catch dozens of them.
When the slippery Xilin loach was put into his personal space, Wang Hu couldn't stand the strong water pressure. At this time, the air held in his lungs was about to be exhausted. When his hand floated to the surface, he gasped as if he had collapsed.
gas.
Later, when he found the Piltover black market and collected the feces required for the stink bomb recipe, the sky was almost white. The deadline for the mission was still one and a half hours away.
After he hurriedly sneaked into the pier and lit the stink bomb, he immediately fled. The passengers who were awakened by the smoke broke out in a riot. The entire pier began to become chaotic.
At this time, he suddenly received a message from the Sphinx, asking him to quickly gather at the "Maverick Hotel".
When he arrived, he found that everyone was silently gathered in front of the fireplace. When passing by the kitchen, he asked about the very strong smell of blood. It seemed that the hotel owner and his family had been killed.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment. Wang Hu, Sphinx and others exchanged glances, and then sat down on an empty chair carelessly.
"Wang Hu," Jonathan, who has always been cold and cold, said first, "your teammates have provided the necessary information just now. I have very bad news to tell you, information that is very difficult for everyone!"
When Wang Hu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "Is it Watt and the others who are doing something?" He took a cursory look and saw that there was no one from the steam company in the crowd.
"Well," Jonathan snorted coldly, and then fell silent. After a while, he said calmly, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with Jinx. After we completed the task, we were unable to deliver it. This illustrates a problem. There is something wrong with Jinx. According to
According to the information provided by your companion...Mr. Snod, Jinx will not appear in Piltover within three days! This is simply a disaster for us. You must know that 10 hours have passed, which means that we only have
Three and a half days to help teammates complete exclusive tasks!”
"That is to say, it is very likely that Jinx will not show up in four days, and we will not be able to deliver the scientists from the Yodle Academy to Harry within the specified time." The person who said this was Ultra, who was still holding his arms.
His face was as cold as iron.
Wang Hu showed an expression of disbelief. This news moved him, "What are the benefits of Watt doing this? Didn't he come here for an exclusive mission? Doesn't he care about the life and death of his teammates?"
Jonathan sneered and said, "Not all team leaders will estimate the life and death of their subordinates." When he said this, he deliberately puffed up his chest to show that he was not that kind of person. "Jinx also has weaknesses, and Watt and the others don't
Know how to reveal Jinx’s whereabouts to Piltover Policewoman Caitlin and Piltover Law Enforcement Officer Vi! This will scare Jinx into hiding. According to our intelligence, these two plot heroes are chasing the bloodthirsty hunter.
Warwick has left the city..."
Ultra continued, "The only one who can make Caitlin and Vi come back at the same time is Jinx. If they let Jinx cause trouble, Pi City will be in ruins."
"It is precisely because of this that Watt spotted Jinx's weakness, which caused Jinx to disappear for three days. That is, seventy-two hours from now, we will not get Jinx-related plot tasks. As for Watt summoning Caitlin and
In fact, we can’t imitate Wei’s method. Only that guy Watt has a space-time machine, which was a reward obtained by Steam Company when they completed the Bandle City mission in the previous plot, and can travel any distance in space.”
"Furthermore, this guy Watt has already arranged a backup plan. They have deployed manpower on the land passage between Piltover and Zaun. Once they discover Caitlin and Vi who are following Warwick, they will bring Jinx to Piltover.
The news about her husband was revealed. This was a stimulant for Caitlin and Vi, who were loyal to their duties and hated chaos. They would definitely give up chasing Warwick and pursue Jinx with all their strength. And Jinx was not as indifferent to the Piltover police as she seemed.
Terrified, after hearing the news, he immediately gave up his sabotage plan and ran away. He probably won't show up until the news has passed, so... we were tricked by the steam company!"
After listening to Otto's analysis, Wang Hu frowned, and the shallow lines on his forehead turned into the word "king". Watt should be killed! He said in a gloomy voice, "In other words, even if we complete the mission,
It was also impossible to deliver the scientist to Harry within the specified time, leading to the failure of the mission. So what is the key to solving this dilemma?"
Otto chuckled, "The reason why I know it was Watt who caused the trouble is because we worked together in the last plot." After saying this, he grabbed the bread on the plate and took a bite, swallowed it and took a big sip of beer before saying,
"I only know this much at the moment. After exchanging information with Jonathan, I found out that Watt and his gang have defected to the Digital Matrix!"
It was no secret that Wang Hu was shocked and paralyzed. He shrank his neck and felt a little cold. He had not forgotten No. 8, No. 9, No. 7, and No. 1. These four people were indirectly or directly deceived by him.
If this group of people found out that he had a problem with Digital Matrix, they would probably have him tied up to take credit for it. So he decided to keep this secret strictly, but what Jonathan said next made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Jonathan looked at Wang Hu who was sitting on pins and needles with some strangeness, and interjected, "I heard that Michelangelo, the founder of Digital Matrix, has also entered this golden plot. As one of the top ten players in the server, he will definitely make an impact this time.
The qualifications of a connector. Therefore, it is very likely that Watt came to Pi City to help Michelangelo complete his exclusive mission, but we also found out that there is another powerful team gathered near the dock - the Brotherhood Without Banners.
!”
Wang Hu smiled bitterly, was this a "gathering of enemies"? His grudges with Adam were unclear.
The pistol on the side changed his expression, "Before coming here, we met Adam, the president of the Brotherhood Without Banners, in Zaun. Isn't he in Zaun?"
The mention of Adam makes Pistol itch with hatred. If Wang Hu hadn't come to his aid in time, he might have been tricked to death by Adam.
"So, the Brotherhood Without Flags is just gathering near the dock. Once Adam returns from Zaun, they will definitely control the dock and collect the ships at the dock. We all know the plans of the Brotherhood Without Flags and the Piston Legion. By then,
We don’t even have the last way out!”
What Jonathan meant was very clear. Without Jinx's aerostat, they could still use ocean-going ships to cross the fjord and return to Zaun. Once the Brotherhood Without Flags takes control of the dock, it will be too late!
The current situation is that Batum, Ultra himself, and Sphinx in Jonathan's team must complete exclusive tasks by kidnapping scientists.
As a result, Batum, Ultra, and Sphinx will be unable to complete the mission, and at the same time lose the possibility of being promoted to Connectors. If Watt does this, the good situation will immediately become extremely dangerous!
Wang Hu understood that Jonathan and Ott would never talk so much nonsense without any reason. The screeners were all unprofitable guys, and they had reached an agreement. It was only now that they revealed everything and
All unfavorable conditions were put on the table, waiting for Wang Hu's choice! To a certain extent, Wang Hu was completely forced into a corner by them, and there was no chance of joining the Bannerless Brotherhood and Steam Company.
If Wang Hu showed any abnormality at this time, I am afraid that the two teams present would be full of firepower. But what Jonathan and Ott didn't know was that even if everyone could betray the enemy, Wang Hu would not be able to join the Brothers Without Flags.
Will and steam company camp.
The relationship he had with Adam and Michelangelo was not small. (To be continued...)
