Blood of Mercury

Chapter 67: stage setting

"Good day."

"Good day."

After greeting each other plainly with jerky undead language, a figure wearing a black robe and carrying a black suitcase walked quietly in the spacious sewer, passing a cleaner passing by.

The next second, vines formed from ashes with terrifyingly high temperatures attacked silently from behind, easily twisting the cleaner's neck.

Roland took out a small black box from the cleaner's arms and put it on the inner layer of his robe. Then, he opened the suitcase, took out one of the two dense rows of brown-red test tubes on the top layer, and closed the suitcase silently.

There is an opaque colloid like sticky blood in it. Through Roland's fingers, you can see that a 1 is written on the side of the potion bottle in green glue.

Roland pulled off the plug and poured half of it on the cleaner's body at will. The dark red colloid hung on the clothes and skin, and gradually melted into it at different speeds.

"It dissolves in human epidermis for four seconds, clothes for twelve seconds..."

Squinting his eyes and calculating the time for the liquid to melt in, Roland walked forward about fifty meters and poured half of the remaining half of the potion on the ground.

Then Roland walked another 50 meters with the medicine bottle with one bottom left in his hand, stretched out his hand to re-plug the stopper, and threw it up with force.

The fragile potion bottle collided with the top of the sewer, and instantly shattered with a crisp sound. The viscous dark red colloid stuck to the top of the sewer under inertia and quickly melted into it.

"It's all twelve seconds... Would it be faster to dissolve in a living being..."

As if some valid conclusion had been reached, Roland's eyes flashed with light.

Then he went back the same way and left the sewer.

This is the powerful explosive that Roland got from the professor after he made a deal with him. The quantity is forty-eight, and is kept in a light-protected container in the form of a viscous liquid or gel.

It can be dissolved in living organisms, masonry buildings and some metals, and maintains explosive ability for seven days. At Roland's strong request, the professor reinforced it with Origin, and now it will only detonate upon Roland's order.

In addition, whether it is power or anything else is unknown, it does not have a name. But listening to the professor's tone, it seems to be very powerful.

Roland didn't want to detonate the whole city directly. This is unrealistic by any means.

Not to mention that the professor only gave two rows of forty-eight bottles, and Roland was only one person and only had one and a half days. He didn't have the time and energy to place a bomb that could detonate a city - and the long-sleeping mentor didn't want to see those.

But the good news is that in order to facilitate the disposal of sewage and corpses, the sewage treatment system in the City of Fortune is very developed, and there must be a sewer under each building.

In other words, as long as Roland sprinkles these cute and interesting little things on the top of the sewer, when they are detonated by Roland, the power is enough to blow through the top layer.

As long as it is detonated in the right batch and the explosion is powerful enough, the building can collapse down even if it doesn't blow through the ground. In the process of falling of the building, the gravity of the building itself will cause its second damage.

As for the gradually festering corpses wandering in the sewers, it also poses no threat to Roland - the small black box that Roland took from his arms after killing the first cleaner is the key item that can make the walking corpses dare not approach him. .

Because priests are hostile in Caral, and Druid status is too high, many Caral people are unable to ask magic practitioners to help pray for the dead after the death of their relatives.

Therefore, every time when night falls, those corpses that have not been processed by magic will be slightly demonized. Eventually, after the negative energy completely erodes the corpse, they will be revived in a brand-new form—or deceive the corpse.

It is different from the undead who forcibly drag their souls back from the land of the dead to gain immortality. The deceased who are reborn in this situation have no consciousness and will never be able to become conscious. The corpse is gradually festering because of the negative energy it is filled with. It is only the instincts of the body that support their actions.

After these dead people whose highest strength could reach the silver rank in their lifetime were resurrected as walking corpses, their fighting consciousness and strength sensitivity attributes were almost the same as before, and because they had been dead for a long time, their weaknesses in the usual sense had almost disappeared. Not to mention piercing the heart, even cutting off the head would at best make them lose their ability to find enemies.

The only way to kill them is to destroy more than 60% of their spines, or simply use magic to disperse the negative energy entangled in the dead.

This is the "Kalar's rookie killer" that Roland sighed when he saw Glimpse.

The reason why the sewers of the City of Wealth can store walking corpses with a combined weight of tons is due to the ambition of the undead on Lebanon Street.

Although the undead look very similar to the walking corpse, in fact, the gap between them is as far as the Tibetan Mastiff to the high imitation model of the Yangtze River No. 7. One of the big differences is that walking corpses rely on negative energy to survive, while undead, although undead, rely on positive energy to maintain their ability to move.

At the same time, each undead also has the supernatural ability to absorb negative energy through contact and store it in the body as a means of attack, although they are afraid that this will speed up the decay of their body and seldom use it.

In other words, when the undead and the walking corpse are in contact, the undead can cause huge damage to the walking corpse that is almost equivalent to the immediate death effect, and all the attacks of the walking corpse cannot cause fatal injuries to the undead.

Under the restraint of this natural enemy, although the walking corpse has no intelligence, it will still instinctively avoid contact with the undead. Taking advantage of this phenomenon, although the undead cannot manipulate the walking corpses, they can at least drive these walking corpses away like sheep.

The undead on Rib Street knew that there were thousands of walking corpses in the sewers of the City of Fortune, and immediately had a simple but effective plan: he planned to use the sewers as a den for the walking corpses, and to hoard a large number of walking corpses in it. corpses, and then when the numbers reach a critical point, unleash these corpses as legions over the entire city of wealth.

After he'd gone to great lengths to get all the city's cleaners into his streets, he sealed up the odds and ends of himself - I mean fingernails or strands of hair - and put them in a black box. They were sent to these cleaners in the form of an "alchemy item" that told them to keep them from being attacked by the walking corpses.

Since then, when these cleaners clean the sewers, they don't need to clean up these walking corpses, and these walking corpses will avoid them by themselves. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com greatly improves the chances of survival for sewer cleaners.

And because the sewage has never flowed back, other people in the city of wealth subconsciously thought that the walking corpses in the sewers were still being cleaned up as usual. No one realized that the number of walking dead was no longer decreasing two years ago.

Until the right moment comes, these corpses will swarm the ground as legions, a force to be reckoned with.

But unfortunately, that undead has a sharp enough vision, but an indecisive heart. In his previous life, he didn't even live to the point where the city of wealth was leveled by the army from the ground, and was drained of life by the silent wizard, then poured in sand and glue and sank to the bottom of the river.

Yes, the undead are indeed immortal, but this does not mean that they cannot be permanently banned with a circular seal. For this kind of thing that does not have more than 18 points of strength, even as long as it is simply killed and then poured in cement, it can make it impossible for oneself to see them for hundreds of years.

"The arrangement that you couldn't activate before... Let me see it this time."

Roland murmured, stepped out of the last steps, and came from the sewer to the ground - a dark alley.

The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, drawing a happy smile.

Roland cautiously took out a silver-white badge from the suitcase, with a strange pattern branded on it: it seemed to be a crosshair-like pattern obtained by connecting the tips of four "Ts".

"Unity, mutual aid, equality, reproduction—" Roland opened his mouth and spoke the secret words set by the professor.

"—No. 1, detonate immediately."
