Chapter 472 Heat Death's Departure

Zhou Tian patted off imaginary dust from her hands and nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, this level of reinforcement should be enough, but it's not over yet. We still need to intercept the tsunami later, so you'll have to work hard for a while longer."

"Does Han Wenshan himself know about all this?" Xia Qiyuan asked.

"Of course I know, and this proposal was put forward by him to Dr. Yue himself."

Zhou Tian looked at Xia Qiyuan with a half-smile: "With Fei Bing as a precedent, we can't be too cruel to him, or what if he also defectes to the Apostles' Society?"

"So you mean it's okay for me to be excluded by you?" Xia Qiyuan continued to probe.

Zhou Tian looked completely innocent: "You should ask Dr. Yue about this. How would I know why he would deliberately keep it from you?"

Is the reason they deliberately kept it from me because I wasn't a member trained by the Countermeasures Bureau, but an outsider who took over He Jun's body?
Xia Qiyuan had a guess in his mind.

He continued, "Then how do we retrieve the strange entity within Han Wenshan's body? Does it have to be temporarily stored in my body?"

Zhou Tian looked at Xia Qiyuan with surprise: "Dr. Yue didn't even tell you this?"

He's talking nonsense to me!

Xia Qiyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

However, Zhou Tian couldn't see the expression on his face because of the mask.

Zhou Tian glanced at the still bright barrier and said as she flew into the distance, "Although Heat Death is currently using the Heat Death Armor, the strange creature inside him is not a whole one."

The power he's using now is actually all the dissipated energy collected by Dr. Yue. Do you understand now?

Dissipated energy?

This statement does indeed exist in He Jun's remaining memories.

Xia Qiyuan suddenly understood everything.

Han Wenshan used heat-death armor.

These armors, the culmination of the Countermeasures Bureau's efforts, have an automatic recovery function; unless the Thousand-Faced Man personally intervenes, no one can take them away.

With the armor recovery issue resolved, the next challenge is dealing with the strange entity within Han Wenshan's body.

The strange fusion of the heat death armor and its user is complementary; only when the two are combined can one achieve true heat death.

One is the mechanical component, and the other is the driving core; neither can be dispensed with.

However, there is another way to power the armor: separating the bizarre parts other than the core to serve as temporary "fuel".

This is equivalent to removing the reactor from a nuclear-powered warship and replacing it with an energy battery.

Once the battery is depleted, the armor will immediately lose its combat capability.

"So that's why he didn't go all out at the beginning..."

"Now that you've figured it out, hurry up and get ready. We still need to go find that kid named Jin Ping'an later. Reji's only wish was to take good care of him."

Moreover, as long as his resistance to strange phenomena is increased, his abilities will also be of great use…”

"No need to look anymore, we'll return this burden to you now."

Ai Liang suddenly emerged from underwater and casually tossed Jin Ping'an to Xia Qiyuan.

Zhou Tian was genuinely startled by Ai Liang's words.

She thought the disciples had escaped using blinking.

"You're not dead?"

Zhou Tian exclaimed in surprise, "The opponent is the Thousand-Faced Man! Even though he's only using a masked body, he's still not someone an ordinary person can handle, right?"

Ai Liang glanced at Zhou Tian but ignored her.

But the other person still looked Ai Liang up and down with interest: "You don't seem to have been affected by anything. Your mental abilities seem to be much stronger than our useless... cough cough, than our director."

Halfway through her sentence, Zhou Tian quickly covered up the extremely impolite word with a cough.

Ai Liang: "..."

Ai Liang finally understood that in the Countermeasures Bureau, a person's rank did not represent their status.

The so-called head of the countermeasures bureau is most likely an unlucky guy they elected to handle the department's miscellaneous tasks.

The real power holder was Dr. Yue, who invented the bizarre armor.

But what kind of weirdos are the people in the Countermeasures Bureau?
While The Heat Death is fighting to the death over there, you're here telling a stand-up comedy routine?
Xia Qiyuan seemed to understand what Ai Liang meant: "Zhou Tian, ​​now is not the time for idle chatter, hurry up..."

Rumble!
Before Xia Qiyuan could finish speaking, a deafening roar came from afar.

Zhou Tian's facial expressions changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

One second they were laughing and joking, the next they were using their spatial abilities with serious expressions to construct a slope similar to a seawall to reduce the impact of the waves.

"Heat death failed."

Zhou Tian said expressionlessly, "The disciple, the magician, and the tyrant are all still alive."

Xia Qiyuan frowned and looked at the center of the explosion: "The energy emitted by the armor... has disappeared?"

Logically speaking, if Heat Death had used its previous form, it would have created a sinkhole with a radius of over 300 nautical miles.

Zhou Tian was sent here precisely to minimize the impact of the tsunami on the surrounding islands.

But that energy mysteriously disappeared, leaving only that loud bang.

Even if the Tyrant can absorb energy to strengthen himself, the attack of Heat Death is definitely not something he can withstand.

"Failed..."

Xia Qiyuan narrowed his eyes: "But it doesn't seem to be easy for the Apostles either."

The mysterious disappearance of Heat Death did not leave the three apostles unharmed.

Ai Liang followed Xia Qiyuan's gaze and looked at the center of the explosion.

The three members of the Apostles suffered extremely severe injuries.

The magician lost an arm and half of his body.

The tyrant was reduced to a black skeleton, with some muscle tissue clinging to it slowly wriggling to form a new body.

The only one who was still relatively unharmed was Cheng Lejia, whose body was charred black and had several small holes in his chest.

"Pfft, cough cough... This old thing... wow... has he gone mad!"

During the attack, Cheng Lejia's lungs were pierced by the rays that the Tyrant and the Magician failed to block, causing him, who was in human form, to speak intermittently.

"If it weren't for Gaia... the life-saving shield she gave you two, none of the three of us would have survived that attack, right?"

"Even with a shield, it's useless."

The magician struggled to grow a new arm: "In that final moment, if I hadn't used my extraordinary ability to absorb a third of the energy, none of the three of us would have survived."

This time, we fell into their trap. Yue Yangyan anticipated that we would turn around and attack them, so he deliberately sent the previous Reji to exchange pieces with us.

The magician looked warily into the distance, constantly on guard against Xia Qiyuan's sudden attack. He held the unconscious Tyrant in one arm and said, "Now is not the time to talk. It would be best if we joined forces and quickly opened a space to leave."

"Damn, I almost forgot about the spirit transfer."

After recovering, Cheng Lejia muttered curses.
