Chapter 44 Yan Chi and Bai Zhou
If you were scalded by hot water last time, you should rinse your mouth with cold water to cool it down.
This time, it was like swallowing a piece of hot tofu in one gulp; it was too late to spit it out.
I could only let it bounce around in my mouth. Whether it was my tongue, teeth, gums, or palate, I felt a burning sensation from the constant collisions.
Finally, it even 'swallowed' it.
Wu Ou frowned as he watched the Beast King Crocodile's reaction.
Although he can control the stable mixing of the two gases and white phosphorus within his body, he will react rapidly once it is released.
Even at a distance of less than a meter, it's difficult to gather them together, let alone achieve the explosive level he desires.
It was more of a small patch of flame than a fireball.
While the range appears larger and the deterrent effect greater, the actual direct power is not increased. In fact, due to the lack of concentrated temperature and explosive reaction, the power is actually reduced.
"We need to figure out a simple explosive bullet structure so that it can be launched and explode at an appropriate distance or upon impact."
Wu Ou understands that he has many uses for his abilities, but now he wants to perform precise operations entirely within his body to accomplish things that only industrial machines can process.
Either you have the time to refine your operations little by little, or you develop 'muscle' memory.
After all, he wasn't a true psychic energy user and couldn't directly construct technological blueprints in his mind.
By relying solely on memorizing the library and repeatedly practicing its use, one can develop basic habits and prepare frequently used materials in their corresponding locations.
When used, it is activated directly.
It's convenient to use now, but it's ultimately just those commonly used methods.
Pfft!
"Um?"
Wu Ou looked in the direction of the noise and saw that the crocodile king had actually retreated back into the water!
Fearing it might be a trap set by the enemy, Wu Ou remained vigilant as he approached the shore.
There was no trace of the crocodile king on the surface of the river, and even the fish that had been attracted there earlier had disappeared.
After staring at the surface of the river for a while, Wu Ou still couldn't figure out why, after that attack, the Beast King Crocodile seemed to have been hit in a weak spot and ran straight back into the water!
However, given the current situation, he doesn't yet have the ability to fight underwater for an extended period, so naturally he won't blindly continue the pursuit.
After meeting up with Hu Meng and the others, Wu Ou and his group quickly returned to the courtyard.
"Have you obtained any data?" Wu Ou asked the bespectacled scientist as soon as he entered.
"What you want to know is why it suddenly ran away in the end. Because, in the end, it didn't seem like it had been seriously injured!"
Seeing that the other party calmly gave the answer he wanted, Wu Ou's resolve to win him over was strengthened once again.
"That's right, I was prepared to continue fighting, but I didn't expect it to just run away."
"Do you think it should be able to withstand that kind of pain?"
"Can't I?"
"Take a look at this."
The bespectacled man showed Wu Ou the tablet in his hand, which displayed a thermal imaging-like image.
"This is... an energy change graph? You're already able to detect changes in source energy!" Wu Ou was genuinely surprised.
After all, most people are currently uncertain about the accuracy of information regarding energy sources, let alone able to probe them.
"Source energy? Do you even know what this special energy is called? Can you explain why?"
Also, since you've clearly felt the existence of this source energy, can you describe your feelings and reactions when you used it?
As if triggered by some conditioned reflex, the bespectacled man suddenly rushed in front of Wu Ou, looking at him with fervent eyes, like a fanatic fan seeing his idol.
"Uh, you've never obtained a Source Crystal? It's the energy crystallization inside the bodies of those mutated beasts." Wu Ou was startled by his sudden change in attitude.
"It seems he's not the perpetually terrifyingly calm type; he's just the type who shows enough enthusiasm for things that interest him."
With these thoughts in mind, Wu Ou already had a plan on how to "kidnap" him.
"Yes, there is—"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the young man to the side.
"Uh, I don't think you said you wanted it back then! Besides, didn't you want to see me absorb it?" The man felt a little uneasy under his gaze and quickly replied.
"Then why haven't you hunted any more?"
"Well, we already have a stable source of food!"
"Excuse."
"Um, whatever you like."
Clearly, this person was already used to the bespectacled youth's tone of voice, rolled his eyes, and adopted a "laid-back" attitude.
"If you want to study this, I can provide you with some resources," Wu Ou said, drawing his attention back.
The bespectacled man narrowed his eyes slightly. "I believe in your abilities, but we need to wait until the crisis here is completely resolved."
But before that, I can offer you some assistance.
"Then it's a deal. Now do you know how to address me?" Wu Ou revealed a confident smile. He believed that the problem of the beast king crocodile would definitely be solved.
"Bai Zhou." Bai Zhou pushed up his glasses and shook hands with Wu Ou's right hand.
After what happened, Bai Zhou and his companion could no longer stay there. After all, such rare talents were not suitable to be placed in such a dangerous place.
The group returned to Linjiang Shopping Mall, and Wu Ou recounted what had happened.
Commander Tian's gaze fell on Bai Zhou and the other man, a gentle smile on his face. "Talented people like you are exactly what the country needs right now."
Bai Zhou nodded. "Commander Tian, of course I'd like to join the Northern Base, but I have some good friends here."
Furthermore, there is a very high chance that we will face a beast tide here, and I cannot abandon the safety of the people here and escape alone.
Commander Tian nodded. "I will go back and discuss the situation here as soon as possible, and try to find a way to evacuate more people ahead of schedule."
As for the issue of the Beast King, we will try our best to resolve it.
After all, this place was a base that had been painstakingly built up, wasn't it?
Although he understood the principle that people can survive even if land is lost, seeing the places where humans live being violently eroded by mutated beasts still gave him a feeling of "disappointing the people," which weighed heavily on his heart and shoulders.
"Commander Tian, my suggestion is that if we want to transport people, we can just make appropriate modifications to those buses."
"As long as the handover and road safety measures are handled properly at the base, the danger level of the roads between the two sides isn't currently high," Wu Ou said at this moment.
Commander Tian looked at him, but before he could ask a question, Wu Ou continued.
"In addition, I suggest bringing Mr. Hu over to work with them to complete a large drone, as well as more small drones."
This way, we'll have air superiority against the beast tide.
