"My hand wasn't cut off, it was 'eaten'. I'm afraid there's no way to find my hand again in this world, so you just need to clean it and bandage it."
…………
To Claude's surprise, after he finished explaining, all the doctors stopped what they were doing and looked at him in unison, with a hint of sadness in their expressions.
"I feel sorry for you, Mr. Claude... But there are other measures. The level of mechanical prostheses here is also very high, although it is definitely not as good as your original hand..."
The first person to speak was Miss Shining, with a hint of compassion on her face, and she looked at Claude's broken arm with regret. She was also a swordsman, so she could naturally understand this kind of pain.
Claude had no choice but to explain his situation again, and when he learned that his hand could grow again, the entire medical department was in an uproar. These doctors who had just been doing their job diligently seemed to have turned into crazy scientists in an instant, looking at him with fanatical and weird eyes, especially Dr. Warfarin, whose true nature was exposed. If he hadn't taken into account Kal'tsit next to him and his own strength, he would have rushed up to try to take samples.
So the operation was not completed, and Claude hid his severed arm under his thick cloak, and returned to Chernobyl.
…………
"Spatial Stasis... What is this?"
"In fact, you can understand it from the literal meaning. I froze the space of the three of them. No matter how strange and powerful their abilities are, they can only be slaughtered by me."
Claude explained his approach to others, but no one could understand how he did it.
"In fact, I have been preparing for a long time. Those black-capped shadow guards did more than just clean up the sewers. Even so, I used my prepared backup plan to successfully deal with them... Otherwise, if everything went smoothly, I might not even have lost my hand."
Claude was also unable to explain the specific principles. After all, even if he explained it, others might not understand it. This was a very large rune system that contained a vast amount of knowledge. Even Claude was only trying it for the first time. Even among the legion commanders, only he was qualified to consult this system.
If this attempt fails, he will communicate with another space again and completely destroy the inner guards... But the two inner guards detonated the evil fragments in their bodies without hesitation, which caught him off guard. So he had to launch the attack in advance and finally completed his plan without any danger.
Yanguo, Longmen and Victoria: Take a break
I haven't been in the right state to write a book recently. I always sit in front of the computer for a long time but can't write much. Today I will take a break to adjust my state and relax my mind.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――
Yanguo, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 246: Big Project
"Okay, Chief Shi Huaiya, these are the solutions for Plot 3. We must move this building away before we can continue with our next mission."
The sergeant in black military uniform handed the document to the Filin girl. The girl read the terms carefully and handed it back after making sure there were no problems.
"If there are no more questions, we will start construction. Please stay away from here. It will be very noisy."
This sergeant from the engineering corps was very efficient and started work immediately after completing all the formalities. Huge engineering machinery drove over and removed the entire building and the foundation underneath. This was a huge project and it would take at least a week to ensure that the removed high-rise building would not suffer any structural damage.
But the engineering forces of the Integration Movement are professional. They came from nothing and have accumulated countless skills and experience. Especially during the later transformation of Chernobyl, the city would undergo earth-shaking changes in their hands every day. Of course, what they are best at is building fortifications and fortresses, which are old skills they have practiced since the guerrilla warfare.
The surrounding isolation belt had already been set up by the agents of the Guard Bureau, and the curious citizens had been driven away several hundred meters away. After all, if something went wrong and caused the building hundreds of meters high to collapse, casualties could be minimized if there was no one around.
Because these high-rise buildings are built on the land of the mobile city, as the city moves, the foundation and body of the continent will be shaken violently. Although the material science in this world is extremely dark, it is impossible to build a building over 100 meters high and ensure stability under such circumstances.
This high-rise building is the property of the Shi Huaiya family. Due to the good relationship between Adams Shi Huaiya and Longmen's ruler Wei Yanwu, the building was built to a standard that stands out in the entire Longmen's central time zone while ensuring safety. Naturally, it would take more effort to move it.
The surrounding concrete floors had been broken up, and the city had taken this into account when it was being built, so there was no need to destroy the overall structure, and there were many precedents to follow.
Shi Huaiya looked at the high-rise building under construction in front of her with some confusion. What happened in the past few days made her a little incomprehensible. After all, there are some things that cannot be revealed to her, and people who only know a little about the incident are often more confused than completely ignorant people. Shi Huaiya is in this state now.
She had just learned that there was a problem with the city's lower-level institutions. Although she worked with Mr. Claude to deal with it, she had no idea what the problem was. Moreover, she was told that it had been solved the next day, but she didn't know what she had helped solve. A high-rise building of the Taikoo Group needed to be demolished. This was the most famous shopping mall in the city center. It could even be said that it had driven the economic development of the entire Longmen to a certain extent. During the period when the mall was closed and not in business, the loss every day was incalculable. But even so, the plan to relocate the building did not encounter any opposition.
There is only one explanation for this: if the building is not demolished, it will cause greater losses, even losses that no one can bear.
Shi Huaiya couldn't help but shudder. She was now the director, and logically she was already a powerful person in the city, but she was still not qualified to know the specific situation... What exactly happened in the lower-level institutions of the city? ...
There was a sudden slap on her shoulder, and Shi Huaiya's round shoulders could not help but sink down, and her whole body tilted a little, but her body's subconscious reaction was extremely violent. The Filin girl jumped up all of a sudden, and the hair on her tail exploded and became fluffy. It was like an electric current flowing from her spine to her whole body, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot. She turned around in anger, wanting to see who teased her like this.
But when the petite girl turned around, she felt as if she was overshadowed by a majestic mountain... The other person was so close to her that the shadow almost covered her. The tall ghost girl had a faint smile in her golden eyes, and was leaning over to look at her. The chest armor that fitted her body had a thrilling arc and was closest to Shi Huaiya's face. The red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes brought a bit of softness to her strong appearance. Her soft green hair was scattered on her shoulders and hung down to her chest.
Shi Huaiya, who was a little angry at first, suddenly became inexplicably weak. He opened his mouth but could not say anything. Instead, Xing Xiong spoke first:
"Shi Sir, everything is done, why are you still standing here? Lao Chen just happened to come back, let's go have a drink together."
"My last name is not Shi! My last name is Shi Huaiya... Changfenlong suddenly came back? When did it happen? Why didn't I receive any reports? Did she sneak in?"
Shi Huaiya was about to correct someone's mistake about his surname again, but suddenly heard the key point that interested him the most. He didn't even care about this mistake that always made him angry, and started asking questions immediately.
Xingxiong laughed in silence and quickly explained:
"Of course not! Didn't Lao Chen go to Chernobyl across the street? Our two cities have opened a fast track, and the relevant staff can simplify the procedures and even come to visit each other without reporting. Lao Chen's sister is a big shot there, so there is no problem for her to come back."
After finishing speaking, Xingxiong paused for a moment before continuing with his previous question:
"How about it? Do you want to come along? Even though we've only been apart for a few days, I've been missing that guy a little bit... Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."
Shi Huaiya showed hesitation on her face:
"But such a big thing just happened in Longmen, we don't have time to go out for a drink... Moreover, we are in this position, so we should set an example. Others are working, how can we be lazy?..."
Xingxiong laughed out loud.
"It seems that you really can't wait, Sir Shi. I mean after get off work tonight. Who said we should go drink now..."
Shi Huaiya was stunned for a moment. She really thought that they were going to drink now, and she really couldn't put down her work now, but of course she had time after get off work in the evening, and there was even plenty of time. After all, no matter how big the riot was, it was over now, and there was no need for them to be so tense anymore.
What's more, their system has been improved by Claude's system. Even in such a serious situation, it is difficult for people to be overworked. The reasonable scheduling system can allow everyone to get enough rest.
To be honest, this system is a real priceless treasure in Shi Huaiya's eyes. It is hard to buy it no matter how much assets are used. As long as it is spread, it can bring a huge revolution to the police system of the whole world. But Claude completed it in just 5 days, and threw it to them without hesitation after using it, just like making a temporary tool for a certain job, and after the job is completed, this temporary tool is useless.
This carefree attitude makes people feel that he is unfathomable...
........................
Shi Huaiya coughed awkwardly twice and then agreed. The three of them used to drink a lot, and sometimes they would drink a lot when they were in a bad mood. They were often sent home by Xingxiong, the most attentive among them, when they were drunk. Now that they thought about it, it seemed that Xingxiong had always been taking care of them...
The work nearby was still going on in full swing. The engineers of the Integration Movement were wearing eye-catching orange-yellow uniforms with white reflective strips. After the drill rigs penetrated the concrete floor, large pieces of waste were loaded onto trucks and transported away, while those that were still worth using were sorted and processed with extremely high efficiency. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding concrete layer was cleared away, revealing the structure of the land underneath.
If it were a few years ago, Shi Huaiya would never have believed that one day a group of Ursus engineering troops would be able to enter Longmen. Since the tragic defeat of the Blood Peak Battle, the national strength of the East Country has been completely exhausted, and Ursus, which was hit head-on, has begun to go downhill, and it is the kind of downhill that the accelerator is stepped on to the bottom and the brakes are broken. The only one who benefited was Da Yan. Ursus and the Yan Country behind the East Country naturally did not have any good international relations. Any act of entering the other's border would be regarded as a declaration of war.
But these Ursus people in front of them were able to appear in the city center of Yan Country’s most important trading city, and were digging holes and moving bricks in the ground as if nothing had happened, as if they were not part of the army, but just an ordinary engineering team...
Perhaps this situation can only occur in the city of Longmen.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
I don’t know what other people think, but Claude did not throw away the system he made. After all, everything was made by him, and the original information was still stored in his mind. As long as there was a need, he could make another one at any time.
Moreover, Longmen's system is actually only suitable for the city of Longmen. The situation of this commercial city is extremely complicated even if the scope is expanded to the entire world. Because of the open and inclusive city atmosphere, no matter what it is, it can be said to be a mixed bag. People of all shapes and sizes, coming and going from all over the country, will gather in this city, which also leads to numerous emergencies. Therefore, the system designed for it is also extremely cumbersome and requires a lot of manpower.
Therefore, it is better to make full use of it and hand it over to the Lungmen Guards, as they are the ones who are truly suitable for this system.
…………
Next to Claude now stood a Filin woman with short green hair. Dr. Kal'tsit was still wearing the same outfit, and in front of them was a complete set of restraints. Needless to say, they were naturally prepared for the captured internal guards.
Rhodes Island provided the most advanced technical materials, and Claude provided rune technology. They successfully created this restraint device. After all, the emperor's inner guards were very difficult to deal with, and a large-scale release of the kingdom after death could even turn a city into a dead zone.
And they would never stop fighting against traitors and enemies, and the only appropriate way to deal with them was to lock them up, but no one could lock up the internal guards, and it would bring destruction to themselves instead.
But now, Rhodes Island's already advanced high technology, combined with Claude's rune technology, has made this possible. Although everyone knows how shocking what they are doing, there is no turning back now, and they must continue.
In order to prevent damage to the rune structure, they had to dismantle the entire underground parking lot and the surrounding area. Although no one would ask him for demolition compensation because of the removal of this hot potato, this was also an extremely difficult step. It was like moving a glass house to another plot of land tens of kilometers away without any damage. Once the runes were damaged in the middle of the journey, the power to imprison the three inner guards would be weakened, and they would most likely escape, which would cause endless trouble.
So Claude and Kal'tsit went directly to the scene to monitor, and Kal'tsit, their only engineering master, went directly into the lower area to direct the dismantling. If it was just a normal dismantling, they could have started now, but to be absolutely sure, they still cut off more areas, added more supporting columns and steel locks, and mobilized more large machinery.
As a result, not only this building, but all the surrounding shopping malls were unable to operate. The losses caused were naturally immeasurable. A large number of tourists came with great enthusiasm and left in disappointment. They were even unable to approach this area and were sent back by the operators of the Guard Bureau. It even caused a certain impact on Lungmen's reputation.
But no one cares about these bottles and cans now. Longmen has given strong support in all aspects. All the surrounding roads have been blocked and vehicles have to drive around here. Fortunately, there are no residential buildings in the city center where every inch of land is valuable, so they do not need to evacuate a large number of people.
The flames from the large cutting machine below were clearly visible, and the piercing noise made every construction worker wear earmuffs. Claude also wore his own helmet. Although the sound insulation effect was not good, it was better than nothing.
"Dr. Kal'tsit, where is the doctor now? The knowledge he possesses may be able to help us."
Claude already had some guesses about the doctor's identity, so he specially notified the other party this time, but he didn't expect that only Dr. Kal'tsit came here.
"The doctor is now making preparations in Chernobyl. We need to use the energy of the sarcophagus. Only he can fully utilize the function of the device..."
Kal'tsit continued to operate on the terminal in her hand, allowing a large amount of dust to cover her head and face.
Yan Country, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 247: Dismantling the Nuclear Bomb
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the entire parking lot along with the surrounding land was finally moved out. Countless heavy lifting machinery was connected to various fixed structures. The widest road in the city had already been cleared, but the large number of heavy machinery passing by also made it foreseeable what the road would be like. It almost had to be rebuilt before it could be used again.
With the unified mobilization of Kulushir, the heavy machinery began to drive towards the wide road. Because they could not destroy the overall structure of the goods they transported, the behemoth was directly suspended tens of meters in the air. The residents had already evacuated the area, so they had no chance to see this spectacular sight.
The solid asphalt road began to deform and break under the unimaginable weight. Countless engineers and technicians were walking back and forth on the high-altitude fixtures, checking the condition of each key device to prevent sudden breakage. In this way, the entire huge mechanical cluster was moving towards Chernobyl at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour. The docking area of the two cities was also fully prepared, and there was a large number of elite troops waiting there.
In order to ensure absolute safety, the speed was slowed down to the lowest possible speed, but the shaking of the device in the air was still frightening, and every metallic hissing made everyone nervous. Chief Engineer Klushel, who was under the greatest pressure, had a thin layer of sweat on her pale skin. If it weren't for the safety regulations, she might not even want to wear a helmet.
In front of her were five large terminals, with sensors inputting data continuously, analyzing and budgeting on them, and evaluating the current security situation. Of course, in order to save time and effort, the clever Miss Kruchiel still made a small software that could display the current security in the most intuitive and clear way.
As long as the data transmitted from various places does not reach a dangerous value, the icons on the screen will be displayed in blue and green. If a situation occurs, it will be displayed in red and yellow. It saves the time of staring at the screen to analyze the data, which can be said to be quite convenient and easy to use.
The dense data were now all blue and green, and there was no problem, but she couldn't let her guard down. She kept picking up the intercom to give instructions to her engineering staff, asking them to pay attention to the security connection somewhere. With the hard work of thousands of people, the huge engineering team finally arrived at the connection bridge.
The next step is the most critical step. As long as it passes the connecting bridge, this thing will officially arrive in another city and have nothing to do with Longmen...
Everyone was on high alert, ready to deal with emergencies, and construction machinery began to slowly drive onto the connecting bridge. If an accident really happened, it would be most likely here. So Claude was waiting here early, with the last pure-blooded Wendigo standing next to him. Bozhukas led a mixed force of shield guards and iron guards, standing like an insurmountable steel wall at the entrance of the city.
Other cadres of the Integration Movement were also deploying defenses in the surrounding areas. The crossbowmen had occupied every hidden corner. They were equipped with powerful crossbows that could pierce steel and were always ready to deal with the invading enemies. Even the city defense cannons on the city walls had already aimed at the connecting bridge. In the most desperate situation, at least they could not let the two cities fall at the same time, as there would be no way to deal with it if they did.
Claude moved his wrist. Although his left hand was still unusable, the end of his arm was no longer flat, but had a slight bulge. The bloody cross-section had closed, and the bones and muscles inside were growing rapidly. A layer of dead skin would appear on his arm every day. This miraculous change aroused the curiosity of almost all the doctors who knew about it. Even though Claude had said it before, how could they believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes?
These limbs are not cultivated in a sterile laboratory, nor are they mechanical prostheses. Instead, they rely on the body's own self-healing ability to grow new limbs. No matter which race they are, they do not have such an incredible ability. It even goes against human genetic expression and is similar to some amphibians.
Claude believed that if he were to have a physical examination now, even Dr. Kal'tsit might get involved...
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The situation was not good, but it didn't matter. I had experienced the worst situations before... When the former nightmare Khan Harandu Khan trampled on this land, he did not let himself fall into despair. There must be some way for me to escape...
Miss Kashena, with her hair messed up by the electric shock and her face burnt black, was thinking about how to get out. But judging from her current situation, it should be very difficult, as she was locked in here by chains one after another. The worst thing was that she found that not only her body was imprisoned, but even her soul had no possibility of leaving. It was as if her soul was wrapped together with this body and then crushed fiercely, leaving no room for movement under the terrible pressure.
I don't know what kind of power this is, but I don't have time to analyze it now. Although it will not disappear even if this body and soul are completely annihilated, it is still an extremely terrible loss. I should try to avoid it if possible.
This is a pure white room, with no seams on the floor and walls, and it looks like it is made of metal materials welded together. The cold white light is all around, illuminating the place in every detail, without any shadows. For a normal person, staying in this place is a torture. When everything is pure white, it will bring great pressure to people's spirit, and it won't take long for people to have a mental breakdown.
But Black Snake was very sure that the other party's purpose was definitely not this. Wanting to make him mentally collapse was not something that could be done. The other party's real purpose was to prevent any foreign objects from approaching or leaving his body. Black Snake even suspected that the other party had directly cast himself into this iron shell, because there were no gaps around it, and naturally there were no doors or windows.
The only thing that allowed her to tell her where she was was the sense of disharmony in her body, which told her that she was hung upside down in the middle of the room. There was no place to get anything other than the chain, so it could be said that the situation was extremely bad.
Now I have to think about how to get out of this place...
Black Snake thought carefully about all his backup plans, most of which were useless, but fortunately there were still one or two that could be useful in this situation.
The girl, Talulah, has the blood of the Victoria Red Dragon. Having raised her for so many years, she had naturally made some preparations... The dead skin on Kashena's face began to fall off rapidly, like a layer of carbon ash falling to the ground, revealing the skin underneath that was as white and tender as a baby's.
Although these chains can block his soul, they are made of just ordinary steel, so this method comes in handy.
The fair skin began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first it was just a normal blush, but later it was as red as a cooked shrimp. The air became distorted due to the rapid heating, and the iron chains with golden patterns also began to turn red, and finally emitted an orange-yellow light, softened and dissolved, and the molten iron dripped onto the floor.
Kashena reached out and grabbed the remaining piece of chain to prevent herself from falling heavily to the ground. Her clothes had been burned, and most of her smooth back was exposed. But when the molten iron flowed over her body, it was like a harmless stream of water, without burning any tissue, and it flowed along her long and straight legs to the floor.
Although she only had a few pieces of cloth left on her body, she did not feel ashamed. Instead, she calmly looked around and occasionally put her ear to the wall to listen carefully. Finally, she finally chose a position and slowly poked the tail blade towards the white metal wall.
As smooth as a hot knife entering butter, under the extremely high temperature, this unknown metal could not resist effectively and was slowly melted into a large hole. The scalding fluid accumulated on the ground like a melted candle, but disappointingly, there was no light behind the wall, but an iron-gray concrete wall.
Kashena's expression remained unchanged, and a layer of iron-gray light covered her fingers. As her fingers touched the wall, the concrete structure automatically separated as if avoiding her fingers, and then melted the steel beams inside. After a while, she had torn a big hole in the concrete wall.
Finally, there was no longer a wall outside, but a dark space. However, the darkness could not block her sight. There was a damp ground and a passage with sewage flowing. Several Xi beasts were running in it. Black and yellow Originium worms were slowly wriggling, constantly secreting acid and dissolving edible things. This was obviously a sewer, which meant that the structure where she was imprisoned was underground...
Although the noise made by digging the wall was very small, there was no way to rule out the possibility that they had discovered his actions. Therefore, he had to speed up his escape plan without any hesitation. He made up his mind and jumped directly into the sewer.
Next, I will try my best. If I can escape, the loss can be recovered... The internal guards should have retreated after losing my information. Although I was defeated by Claude again this time, it was because the other party took out something new that I had never understood before, and caught me off guard...
…………
The entire behemoth was placed in a huge stadium, which was where Claude practiced riding. This spacious venue was just right for doing this. Since rune technology was used, there was naturally no need to complete the subsequent process in a laboratory with extremely strict requirements, but it was also extremely dangerous.
When the three inner guards were stopped, two of them had already detonated the demon fragments in their bodies. It was only the space that stopped their movement that kept them fixed at the last moment. The power of the demon was certainly strange and powerful, but this time they were very lucky. The method Claude thought of did limit this power and prevented this terrible thing from spreading.
What they are doing now is like dismantling a nuclear bomb, which is extremely dangerous and does not allow any negligence. Moreover, only Claude can do this job, and the others can only assist him. Fortunately, a lot of arrangements have been made before, and now as long as they act according to the plan, it will be difficult to make mistakes.
Parts with runes were removed piece by piece, and at the moment of removal, technological parts with the same runes were installed, just like the legendary Ship of Theseus, whose parts were constantly replaced until it became a brand new device. This process requires extreme patience and various complicated operating procedures, and does not allow for any negligence.
Claude worked here for three consecutive days, with dozens of top technicians and engineers cooperating with him. He even skipped several meals and relied entirely on his strong body and spirit to hold on. The old lower area was gradually replaced with high-tech equipment, and no mistakes occurred during the period. The three guards were still maintaining the posture blocked in the ice.
Their thick black coats were mostly torn, and Claude's sword touched their bodies more than once, but because of some concerns, he did not kill them on the spot.
As early as the third stage, Claude was able to fight against an inner guard, not to mention the fourth stage of the magic furnace. The ones who were really struggling were the emperor's inner guards. They still believed that they could rely on the country's full-scale outbreak to put them to death, and they also relied on Claude not to kill them rashly, so they persisted until the end and did not escape.
Although it seemed as if they were frozen by the hard ice, everyone knew that once they lost the power of the runes, they could easily break free. This thick layer of ice was only to stabilize their bodies and maintain the integrity of the entire building so as not to disrupt his plan due to some reasons such as disrepair.
And there is no need to worry that they will die from the low temperature of ice. The inner guards of Ursus are far from being so fragile. The power of the evil demons in their bodies is enough to allow them to run rampant in most parts of the world, bringing the shadow and fear of Ursus to the enemy, and even becoming a legendary existence.
Basically, except for those well-known figures, they are already the top combat forces in the world. The evil demon fragments on their bodies will make the strong people from other countries be afraid to act against them. It can be said that they are quite tricky. If they are in the game, they can definitely be called "dung monsters". They may not be strong enough, but they are definitely disgusting enough.
Yan Kingdom, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 248: Twin Cities
The dangerous work, like dismantling a nuclear bomb, was finally completed. Claude was a little exhausted. The mental work he had put in during the past few days was extremely heavy. Even several terminals were overloaded, not to mention his brain. Even with his willpower, he couldn't help but show some fatigue on his face, but fortunately everything was over. The three emperors' inner guards were transferred to a new restraint device. They would be transported to a secret area under the core layer, and the technology on them would be slowly analyzed and studied.
This integration movement has a huge harvest. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of new laborers, just these three inner guards are enough to make any country in the world envious. The technology to make inner guards is only available in the Ursus Empire. It is the deepest secret of this huge and powerful empire. They have successfully integrated the power of the devil into the bodies of the warriors, making these warriors in black become the world's top fighting force.
