Su Lun and Kai evacuated on motorcycles according to the planned route. They changed motorcycles midway and traveled for another period.
The fact that no one has caught up for so long means that they have handled the finishing touches very cleanly.
The first stage of the robbery went without incident.
But while riding, Kai felt that the direction of the motorcycle was a little unstable, and muttered: "Hey... Su Lun, why do I feel that the motorcycle is a little wobbly today? Could it be that the thing is too heavy and crushed...
"
Su Lun actually noticed the abnormality earlier. The feeling came very quickly. Kai was only halfway through his words when Su Lun's expression suddenly changed: "Get out of the car quickly!"
Without further explanation, he took out the folding bulletproof plate and the two of them blocked it together.
The next moment, a thousand-meter-high mushroom cloud suddenly rose in the direction of the deserted park a few kilometers behind them!
It seemed like something was about to emerge from the ground, rolling violently, making people unstable.
A moment later, it was like thunder exploding in my ears, deafening.
Boom boom~
The shock wave came like an overwhelming force, and the air was so compressed that it made people's breathing freeze for a moment. A huge force hit the bulletproof board with a "bang", and the two of them were almost thrown out.
Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and once the shock wave passed, although he was a little disgraced, he did not suffer any damage.
Kai patted the dust on his body, looked at the direction of the explosion, and muttered with an expression of disbelief: "It couldn't be that some incendiary bombs we threw detonated some underground biogas pool, right?"
Apart from this, there seems to be no better explanation.
"Probably not. The distance is too different..."
Su Lun stared at the rising mushroom cloud and responded.
Suddenly, he realized something.
The transport team just now was heading to the secret laboratory...
The explosion happened to be in that direction...
Could it be...
Did that secret laboratory explode?
.......
The explosion came very suddenly.
The outer city covers a large area, but usually only where there are buildings are people gathering.
This "deserted park" in Xicheng seems to have been an ancient park. It is desolate and inaccessible.
Now that I think about it, isn’t this the best location for a secret laboratory?
Although it was not sure whether it was a man-made explosion or an accidental explosion, Su Lun's first reaction was: "Did someone blow it up?"
Moreover, because of the explosion, a series of clues in his mind were instantly connected, and a cold face appeared in an instant, that is, the S-class female wanted criminal with a reward of three million!
"It's not really that woman, is it?"
Su Lun's thoughts flashed through her mind, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was most likely her.
When he went to the Knights District to rescue three of Danny's friends, he met that woman.
At that time, Su Lun hadn't figured out why she would go against the odds and commit a crime and get into trouble with a human trafficker.
Now that he has intercepted this shipment, he also knows that the Steam Party will deliver supplies to a certain laboratory. Moreover, this laboratory is researching the "X serum" and is located somewhere in the West City.
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately guessed why those guys from the Steam Party were arresting homeless people and orphans.
Because he once learned from Danny that the top management of the Black Tower had conducted a large number of in vivo experiments for the progress of the "X Serum Project".
Now that research is continuing, it makes sense that a large population is needed for experiments.
That kind of living body laboratory cannot be set up in the inner city, so it is perfect for the outer city where human life is as worthless as trivial matter.
And that woman went to find the human trafficker, most likely because she wanted to use clues about the whereabouts of the people to locate the laboratory!
So, is she really the one who exploded?
.......
"That woman stole the important items for extracting the 'X Potion'. If she really blows up the outer city laboratory now, the top management of the Black Tower will probably be furious..."
Su Lun suddenly became interested in that woman.
It would be a pity for a person with faith to die.
Su Lun guessed the cause of the explosion, but was not interested in staying any longer. Anyway, it was not his own house that was bombed.
He greeted Kai and said, "Let's go, there should be many people watching the fun soon."
A relaxed smile appeared on Kai's face: "Oh, this explosion has helped us a lot. The traces of the robbery scene have probably been almost destroyed now."
"Well, indeed."
Su Lun also raised his eyebrows, thinking that they were lucky.
The two men pushed the overturned motorcycle and started on the road again.
Since it was guessed that it was man-made, the time of the explosion would coincide with the day of their robbery, so it was most likely not a coincidence.
That kind of secret laboratory cannot be entered and exited at any time like a vegetable market in order to keep it secret. It is very likely that today will be a day for centralized supplies.
There may not only be the shipment that Su Lun and the others intercepted, but also other supply convoys, such as the population used for experiments.
That woman probably got in through other means.
However, it has nothing to do with them.
They are just ordinary little robbers.
.......
The two of them, Su Lun, did not take the goods back to their residence on Green Street. Instead, they found some remote places in rundown buildings and sewers along the way and hid the things in batches.
After arranging some early warning measures, the two burned the clothes used in the crime, dealt with all possible traces, and then returned to Green Street.
The news of the explosion in Xicheng District quickly spread throughout the outer city. Even the senior leaders of the Cross Society sent people to find out what happened.
However, the news circulating among ordinary gang members was that of a methane explosion. Someone in the Steam Party seemed to have deliberately controlled the news, and no word about the "laboratory" was spread.
As for the "robbery" that Su Lun and the two participated in, I don't know if the Steam Party planned to investigate it secretly, or if they were all involved in the explosion. At least there is no news on the market that anyone is looking for the goods or the robbers again.
But the calmer it is, the bigger things are.
Because Su Lun discovered... that the reward for the S-class wanted criminal in the black market has increased again.
There is no price tag this time. It says: Those who provide valid information, depending on the value of the information, can obtain permanent resident rights in the inner city, hereditary titles, and any cursed materials currently recorded by the Alchemy Guild...
It can be seen that the person who offered the reward is already "frustrated".
This unprecedented reward price is enough to make almost anyone tempted.
The right to permanent residence in the inner city is a benefit that almost anyone in the outer city would fight for;
The hereditary title, even if the major families in the inner city saw it, they would probably dig deep to find it;
There is also the reward of any cursed material, which is enough to tempt those second- and third-level professionals who have no interest in fame and fortune.
This is just a reward for providing information!
Moreover, this time the reward order not only posted the woman's original photo, but also various disguised photos, as well as detailed data on height, bones, dimensions...
The pink-haired bunny girl costume that Su Lun had seen before was also prominently featured in it.
In other words, even if she has her head covered, anyone who cares can recognize who she is by her figure!
Su Lun felt that with this reward, it would be difficult for the "walking treasury" not to be caught.
Thinking of waiting for the next gathering of a small circle of high-level black market professionals, he planned to inquire about the information and ask Mr. Hei if he was interested in that batch of goods.
Right now, Su Lun has another important job.
That is to decipher the "Living Corpse Research Diary"!
.......
Su Lun didn't read more of "Diary of Living Corpse Research" before because he thought it was pointless to study it.
At least it won't be useful for the time being.
Translating those ancient secret texts would waste a lot of his time and energy, and the research content was too high-end to be useful in translation.
The most important thing is that without the key item "X serum", it is impossible to successfully research living corpses.
But things are different now. Su Lun has the finished X serum in his hands.
If he can successfully translate the medicine that suppresses distortion from the diary.
Not only can you try to make a "living corpse", but if the serum can be applied to humans, it would be great to give yourself a shot.
After returning from the robbery, Su Lun stopped running around and stayed in the basement to study the cipher text in "Diary of a Living Corpse".
Most of the classics left by ancient alchemists are encrypted.
The more advanced the content, the higher the level of encryption.
It is almost impossible to decipher an ancient code that has never been seen before by one person alone.
But there is a shortcut to learning to decipher codes in modern times, that is, "cryptography" is now a systematic subject in Black Tower College.
A lot of cryptography experts and archaeologists study all day long, decipher the patterns of a large number of ancient ciphertexts, and compile various cryptography textbooks.
This also makes it easier for modern people to decipher ancient alchemical scrolls.
Most ordinary people are dazzled by the encryption methods, but there are formed formulas that can be applied.
As long as you know the encryption type and key of the ciphertext, many ciphertexts can be cracked almost fool-proof.
And Su Lun has in his hands the most complete set of "Ancient Code Deciphering Encyclopedia" textbooks in Jiulingdun.
The textbook records almost all ciphertext encryption and decryption methods on the market.
This also greatly reduces the time and difficulty of deciphering.
Moreover, Su Lun also has a shortcut among shortcuts, which is the [Eye of Omniscient].
Before he has read "Encyclopedia of Ancient Code Deciphering", when he sees those ciphertexts with specific patterns, the Omniscient Eye may prompt "This is a text with a 'three-frame horizontal and vertical displacement encryption pattern'..."
;
After reading it, it now turned directly into "a ciphertext compiled by the 'Raleye Encryption Method'...".
This is also the pattern he gradually discovered after using the [Omniscient Eye] for so long. That is, the information identified by his eyes will appear in the form that is most understandable and consistent with his cognitive description.
The more knowledge Su Lun has, the easier it will be to understand the identified content.
Now used to decipher passwords, when Su Lun reads the contents of the diary, he will be directly prompted with the specific name of the encryption method.
Then he just looked up the relevant password in the textbook, like looking it up in a dictionary, and directly applied the formula to decipher it.
