Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 681 Hallucination
"Okay." Wolfe nodded without saying much, but he felt a little disappointed.

After all, he made this invitation because he had some confidence in it.

There are many students who graduate from the End of the World and rejoin their original forces as consultants. They participate in decision-making, and once they have many relationships, they will subtly bring additional influence to the mechanics, which should not be underestimated.

However, given Wolfe's identity, he naturally hopes to recruit real mechanics who can devote themselves to serving the End of the World.

But after hearing Nanding's answer, Wolfe could only shrug his shoulders without commenting and did not pursue the matter any further. He was not going to push the other party to do anything.

Whether it is an opportunity or a trap.

Once is enough.

Lu Dai came to his senses from his surprise and became happy again: "Then I..."

Although the fact that someone could actually reject the holy place in her heart made her pursuit seem a little awkward, but then again, since Nan Ding was not going, would the spot be hers again?

"Haven't I made it clear enough? You will study with me for another two years..." Wolfe asked doubtfully, then his brows relaxed again, "Oh, about the quota. I'll find another person later if I have the chance. Don't worry. I'd rather have nothing than have someone who doesn't have the right one."

Better to be lacking... than to be inappropriate...

Am I abusive...

Lu Dai was completely frozen.

The mechanic Fenan on the side shook his head helplessly. He knew that Wolfe certainly did not mean that. It was just that the young genius grew up at the end of the world, so naturally he did not think there was anything special there. In addition, the career of deciphering lost technology occupied too much of his life, and he had lost some of his humanity... Well, he was just too rational and pure, so he never spoke tactfully.

In the other person's eyes, the whole world is like a cold, running machine. As long as the corresponding data is input, the correct answer can be obtained.

However, Fenan does agree with Wolf's decision, which will be more beneficial to Rude's future development. What she lacks is practice rather than professional training.

That's what it says.

There was a heavy storm outside with rumbling thunder, but in this room, it seemed as if one could still hear the sound of someone's heartbreaking.

"As for the rest, send this telegram. It has been raging for so long, and the clouds are almost gone. The storm will stop soon." Wolfe obviously didn't hear it. He handed the prepared document to Rude. Another page was filled with calculation results, although no one would read it. "However, this also means that the water level of the depression lagoon will reach its peak before then. The lower city should prepare for the last wave of the tide."

After he finished speaking, he paused and added his own subjective judgment for the first time: "It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Oh." Lu Dai walked out with his head down.

"Bring an umbrella...wait." Wolfe reminded him, but after seeing his disciple's expression, he remembered something: "Lu Dai, didn't you ask me what a pufferfish was last time?"

"Puffer fish..." The girl turned around stiffly like a rusty machine.

"Just like you." Wolfe compared it with the records in the ancient book, looked at it, and nodded affirmatively, feeling satisfied that he could answer questions and solve doubts for students, "After you lose your temper."

To ensure rigor, he added the last sentence.

"laugh."

Nan Ding laughed out loud.

Lu Dai: “…”

If you laugh again, I’ll poison you to death!

……

……

"Tide warning, level light... Tide warning, level light..."

After the power supply to the Lagoon Town was restored, all systems started to operate again and the signal was received again in the communication room of the Reef.

However, at this moment, no one could interpret them. These telegrams echoed on the drilling platform like the summons of a ghost.

Until it finally dissipates.

There were violent storms and the lagoon was at high tide, with the water level different from before. Otherwise, they would not have dared to sail underground.

However, what a shocking impact it would cause if an armored warship fell from a height of 100 meters.

After smashing the Raven, it plummeted into the bottom of the lake. Its tremendous force even emptied all the lake water it touched in an instant.

Make waves.

The turbid water is like a wall.

The long-haired man struggled to stand up. Everything in the room was turned upside down. The seats and counters were scattered everywhere. The lake water itself could not destroy the Reef, but now it was constantly pouring into the entire ship.

Qin escaped into the cabin at the last moment.

He never thought that one day he would have to use the word "escape" to take action.

A terrifying huge gap started from the man's left shoulder and went all the way to his lower right waist. His entire chest and abdomen were opened, revealing his damaged organs.

Wherever the knife touched, the flesh was not cut open, but turned into pulp, as if it had been chopped.

Only a heart exposed to the air was still beating.

But there is also a tendency to exhaustion.

Anyone else who suffered such an injury would have died on the spot, but Qin was still able to struggle out. His war-level physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, even transcending ordinary life.

What Lu Beiyou said was right. He only had one chance. The length of the broken knife was limited after all, so he could only hit once. It would not be so easy to catch up with Qin later.

——However, to put it in another perspective, just one knife had injured him to this extent. For the first time, Qin felt fear in his heart, not of death, but of the insurmountable gap that seemed like a mountain or an abyss.

Otherwise, he would never have fled in such a hurry.

The Reef was falling rapidly, and even Lu Beiyou had to keep himself stable. On the other hand, Qin was already in a desperate situation, but he managed to gain a glimmer of hope by not caring about the consequences.

If this is courage, he did have it at that moment.

But even such a chance of survival is like a candle in a rainstorm, which may be extinguished at any time. In order to escape, Qin must abandon his heavy sword and escape lightly. Now he is still inside the Reef. His only reliance is his familiarity with the complex route of this battleship, which can delay Lu Beiyou for a while.

Let him have a chance.

Go to the bottom of the Reef and see the cargo, the secrets that even Luo Yousheng, Green and other managers of the Lower City have no right to know, and the gifts from the guests...

If you could turn them on...

You may not have a chance to win.

Qin stumbled and dragged his arm as he hurried along. After losing the strength of his muscles, he could no longer suppress the injuries, and all the strength in his body was lost along with the blood.

"This can't go on like this..."

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he pulled out a needle from the secret pocket inside his uniform, looked at his exposed chest, and injected himself.

Qin didn't even blink, so that he could see the exact location of his heart and pierce it directly. After Lu Beiyou cut open his chest and ribs, it was really convenient to some extent.

Strength revived in his body. At their level, the effects of ordinary medicines might not even be able to keep up with the body's own recovery speed. Unless they lie on a repair bed, a better way is to directly catalyze the body's own potential.

Qin was using some kind of energizer similar to adrenaline, but much more powerful. Otherwise, it would not be enough to support his broken body. It was also looted from some ruins. Hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and no one knows if it has an expiration date.

However, Qin also added hallucinogens, which they made themselves in the Lower City. After studying the mechanism of action of black extract, they imitated its purely artificial synthetic chemicals.

In this way, even if they can no longer obtain marijuana raw materials from the swamp in the future, they can still produce it themselves, and the wastewater can be discharged into the downtown area nearby, with the entire depression lagoon to help digest it.

The point is, the effect is hundreds of times stronger than those "pure natural products".

This time, Qin wanted to transport the ship to open a new production base in Stober. Once this new product opens up the market, it will surely become popular quickly. From nobles to common people, the power of accumulating resources and connections is much greater than being a simple watcher.

There is no need to worry about not being able to develop your own power.

By then, I will be able to completely break away from the technology hunter, and... no longer be shrouded in the shadow of that person.

If the swamp had not had a new king who banned the marijuana trade that originally belonged to the black converters, he might not have made up his mind to divert resources to concentrate on research and development. However, Qin would naturally have to blame the other party for the time and cost spent, and he would have to pay it back sooner or later after the situation was established.

But I didn’t expect that Lu Beiyou had already come to the door before that.

Moreover, it seems that the one who overestimates his own abilities is not the other person, but himself.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Who in the world could have imagined that a newcomer who had just been promoted would display accumulation and background that was in no way inferior to that of Tian Xinli Zheng, a long-established veteran powerhouse... Even, recalling that kind of oppression, Qin did not dare to confirm who was stronger and who was weaker between them.

This was beyond his judgment.

You won’t know until you actually try it.

The medicine flowed through the remaining half of his circulatory system and acted into his bones. Qin's heart beat violently, and even his broken organs began to grow and heal. The lost blood dried up and the blood clots evaporated. At this moment, he indeed could not recover to his best condition, but at least he was a normal person, and his spirit was more vigorous, but his eyes were a little blurry.

It's like being in a dream.

This is the effect of hallucinogens.

Logically speaking, Qin would never use such a product on himself, but in this situation, in addition to his broken body, his spirit is also shaky.

If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be able to hold on.

After the watcher recovered, he quickly bypassed the collapsed obstacle and rushed forward, no, downward. He could already hear the tide outside and the sound of footsteps dragging knives hidden in it.

However, just as he passed a room, Qin stopped: "You..."

"Sir!" The person hiding among them was the captain of the Reef. He had noticed the gap in the battlefield as early as the moment Qin fought with the enemy, and took his men to hide under the ship in advance.

But this time, after the violent turbulence, the rest of the men were no longer separated.

Qin's first reaction was to turn his head. Half of his iron face still had a dent from being hit by Lu Meng's iron pipe, but he then remembered that there was such an obvious wound in front of his body, and it was useless to cover it up.

It's no longer decent after all.

Seeing his subordinate, he didn't want to pay attention to him and was about to leave in a hurry, but the captain caught up with him: "Sir, did you win? I knew it..."

Qin was about to shake him off impatiently, but when he turned around and saw the joy on his subordinate's face, it didn't seem fake. Somehow, he felt something in his heart: "Yes..."

Before he could finish his words, he changed the subject: "Why are you here?"

"Why don't you jump off the boat?"

The reef fell, but its height was different from that of the Raven. Even if the people on it were thrown off, they would only be smashed to pieces - except for the core elites among them.

Just like Bo and Lin Ji, they jumped off the Raven at the beginning. Even if they might suffer some minor injuries, as long as they fell into the water accurately, they would not be hurt too much in the end.
