Chapter 496

Streams of blue smoke poured down like a waterfall, and the violent air convection produced formed a gale that swept across the wilderness.

Even with your toes, you could think that this brightly colored smoke was not good for the human body. Reyes immediately took out a glass bottle from his backpack, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with seawater poured inside, and a wooden sailing warship flying a skull pirate flag was static inside it.

Bang!

Reyes smashed the glass bottle. The majestic seawater poured out like an aquarium collapsing, and the pirate ship model grew with the wind, rapidly expanding to its normal volume.

"Quick, get on the Black Pearl."

Reyes shouted, jumped onto the pirate ship first, and White Horse Tombstone carried the astronaut like a sack, following the others onto the deck.

The seawater that had poured out didn't seep into the soil but condensed at the bottom of the ship, lifting it up.

As the sails billowed to the limit, the pirate ship flew at a speed comparable to a speedboat.

All four players were not newbies, walking on the bumpy deck as if on flat ground. Claudia, who had switched back to human form, looked at the azure smoke falling from the sky, while estimating the descent speed of the fog, and patted the pirate ship's railing casually. "This seems to be our guild's product?"

"Yes."

Reyes nodded. As one of the largest criminal groups in Mexico, the Jalisco Group had a wide range of business, including but not limited to contraband smuggling, illegal mining, human trafficking, smuggling brokerage, telecommunications fraud, money laundering, etc., with annual revenue as high as 15 billion US dollars.

Such massive revenue, after deducting the costs of recruiting soldiers and buying horses, bribing officials, buying local hearts, and funding adult higher education (referring to killer training camps), all flowed into the hands of the organization's top-level transcendents.

And due to the chaotic situation in Mexico, local transcendents were in danger, and could be plotted against or murdered by competitors at any time, leading to their particularly high consumption willingness and consumption ability.

This Black Pearl was a high-end flagship ship that Reyes had ordered from the 【Witch Alliance】 guild at a high price. It looked like a wooden sailing ship, but it actually integrated a large amount of magic technology.

Reyes placed both hands on the ship's wheel, turned the wooden handle rhythmically, and entered commands.

The wooden planks at the bottom of the ship automatically popped open to both sides, revealing twelve Mercury speedboat high-horsepower engines. Magic runes appeared on the surface of each engine, the engines roared, and the propeller blades spun so fast that only afterimages remained.

Hum—

The pirate ship accelerated suddenly, flying close to the ground.

The bow of the ship squeezed the air in front, forming a visible white compressed airflow. Reyes himself didn't change his expression, put on goggles, and at the same time remotely controlled the hemp ropes around the deck, which crawled over like snakes, fixing his hands, feet, and torso so he could continue standing and controlling the ship's wheel.

Claudia stroked the long handle of her scythe, and scarlet blood flowed down from the blade, condensing into a Throne of Blood beneath her to stabilize her figure.

White Horse Tombstone stood tall in the gale, still carrying the astronaut on her shoulder, motionless.

As for Li Cheng... he was holding hands with Hui Yu, who weighed over eight hundred kilograms, and with their other hands, they were holding tennis rackets dipped in soapy water, blowing bubbles in the airflow.

Are you two SpongeBob and Patrick? How old are you?

Claudia, who didn't know that Hui Yu was actually under two years old, took a deep breath, took out an exquisitely crafted telescope from her backpack, and looked at the blue smoke slowly settling in the high sky.

Its composition included heavy metal particles, crystal powder, and some kind of highly corrosive acidic gas.

Mid-to-high-level transcendents all had heavy-duty full-enclosure hazmat suits in their backpacks, adding lead plates or even tungsten-based composite materials capable of resisting gamma rays to the hazmat suits, allowing them to walk on flat ground at nuclear leak sites.

But...

A dense chirping sound like a flock of birds came from high altitude. The crystal particles in the smoke, under the action of the wind, were comparable to water jets, hitting the sky-high stone pillars at high speed, leaving dense pits on the surface of the stone pillars.

The pirate ship's speed had climbed to the limit, but it still couldn't rush out of the wilderness before the smoke fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Reyes immediately slowed down, hammered his fist against the steering wheel, and activated all defensive magic arrays.

In an instant, colorful lights lit up around the pirate ship, like the RGB light effects of a Razer mouse, resisting the impact of the wind and dust.

Claudia also took action at the right time, tearing open a spell scroll, forming a thin film like a water bubble on the surface of the ship and around everyone to isolate the acidic gas.

Several people were tense, waiting quietly. The blue smoke finally fell to the ground. Wherever it passed, the withered yellow weeds instantly carbonized and shattered, and even the mud and rocks below were corroded into dense micro-pits.

The water bubble film made a rustling sound of being eroded, but it could still isolate the acidic gas for the time being.

Just in case, Claudia switched to bat form again and asked White Horse Tombstone in a thin voice: "What did you see in the metal pipe?"

"Backpacks, a large number of astronauts' backpacks."

White Horse Tombstone took the sports camera off her chest, pressed the button, and projected the image into the air.

She had just climbed to a high place, opened the metal gate and took a look, and found that the giant pipe was piled with hundreds of broken and rusty astronaut survival backpacks along the way.

On the surface of each backpack, there were crystal-clear and brilliant blue crystal clusters.

When White Horse Tombstone pressed her hand on the inside of the pipe, it was suspected of causing resonance, and the crystal clusters shattered one after another, releasing toxic smoke.

Li Cheng thought thoughtfully: "If the density of astronaut backpacks in every pipe of the dome is the same, then there are at least seven or eight hundred thousand here."

"So many?" Hui Yu was surprised at first, then reacted, "If all the backpacks are taken away, just the precious metal waste recycling inside, hung on Zhuanzhuan or Xianyu, could earn millions or tens of millions, right?"

You're already a player, do you still care about those millions or tens of millions?

Claudia couldn't help but say: "Recycling backpacks is not as valuable as recycling metal pipes. As long as you can cut the pipes down, they are all transcendent materials."

This was just talk. The C130-level ultra-strong concrete that can resist 155mm shells in the real world has a compressive strength of only 130MPa.

And the special building materials in the Killing Field can have a compressive strength starting at 1500MPa, which is twice that of titanium alloy, and it's quite laborious for high-level transcendents to dismantle them.

"Really? That's great."

Li Cheng and Hui Yu immediately took out flame cutters and angle grinders, excitedly preparing to fly up and start demolition.

"You two, put away your supernatural powers."

Reyes stopped them hurriedly. By the time they cut down a complete pipe with an angle grinder, GTA6 would be out.

Suddenly, Reyes thought of something and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Master Pi Fu, do you have an item that can move at high speed? Why not take us directly out of this area?"

He had also watched the explanation videos on the flying network about the London incident and knew that Master Pi Fu possessed a means of moving at light speed for seven hundred kilometers at a time.

"I can, but there's no need."

Li Cheng shook his head. A single release of the Floating Engine consumes quite a bit of spiritual power, and the range of the 【Wayfinding Radar Instrument】 arrow is limited, making it very easy to rush out of range.

Ten or twenty kilometers is fine, but without seeing the terrain ahead, moving hundreds of kilometers at a time, it's very easy to crash into death zones like volcanoes, liquid nitrogen pools, dry toilets, or the principal's air-conditioned room.

"I have a better way."

Li Cheng took out five Floating Engine modules and stuck them onto the surface of the ship. The pirate ship immediately floated in the air and, driven by the Mercury engines, floated toward the high altitude.

The density of the acidic smoke was greater than air, and it all settled below, while an isolation zone free from corrosion formed near the dome at the highest point.

"Phew." White Horse Tombstone breathed a sigh of relief and gave a sincere thumbs up. "Well done."

Reyes also nodded in praise, but his eyes flickered.

No wonder this Master Pi Fu was marked as an extremely dangerous target by the Special Accident Division of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. Just with this anti-gravity hand, Reyes could think of several uses.

Fill a ten-thousand-ton ocean freighter with concrete, take it to low Earth orbit at a thousand kilometers, let it free-fall, and the kinetic energy generated when it hits the ground is equivalent to 120,000 tons of TNT, eight times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Most of the US missile defense systems are concentrated on the West Coast, and high-level transcendents are also more willing to live in prosperous cities on the East and West Coasts. If this ten-thousand-ton freighter meteorite were to hit the central United States, it would be very difficult to intercept.

The key is that Master Pi Fu can also come and go at light speed, making it difficult to guard against, equivalent to him being an intercontinental missile by himself.

The dark joke is that considering this guy is bold enough to defy the heavens, he really did elbow-strike the Clock Tower guild alone.

If an American player were to scold Master Pi Fu online (for example, accusing the Star-Casting Anvil of short-changing customers and harming consumers) while ordering a local pizza on his phone, then Master Pi Fu's freighter meteorite might arrive earlier than his pizza.

Soon to be at your door. jpg
