After snatching the box, Zhang Tuohai turned around and ran away without even looking carefully.
Let the robbed palace bachelor be stunned.
He wanted to reach out to stop him, but Zhang Tuohai had already disappeared.
Taking three steps and then two steps at a time, Zhang Tuohai took Yin Lisabai and Linda and ran back to the White Bird.
Only then did Zhang Tuohai have time to study the box in his hand.
The box was the same as the one that was smashed before. It was a palm-sized metal box with red runes engraved on it. There was a small hole on one side, and a red eyeball could be seen from inside.
The eyeballs were staring at Zhang Tuohai, and he kept shouting from the box: "Wanted criminal! Here is a wanted criminal from the empire, with a bounty of 100,000 dinars!"
Repeated over and over again, there seems to be no intention to stop.
Zhang Tuohai took out a knife and pried the box open, trying to open it.
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to him: "I seem to have seen it before."
Zhang Tuohai suddenly turned around and found Ling, wearing a black windbreaker, standing next to him, with a pair of red eyes staring at the metal box in his hand.
"Have you seen this thing?" Zhang Tuohai asked quickly.
"I can't remember clearly, but the breath on it gives me a familiar feeling." Ling paused for a while and said slowly.
"Then take a closer look and see if you can recall anything." Zhang Tuohai handed the box in his hand to Ling.
Anyway, he has no clue. It would be great if Zero could think of something.
Zhang Tuohai felt that the zero energy sealed in the pile of crystals must be an amazing existence in itself, but now there is no memory and it cannot be developed. Maybe this metal box is a breakthrough.
Zero took the box, and a burst of ice came out of his hand, freezing the box.
The surface of the metal box is covered with a layer of blue frost.
Zero brought the box to his eyes and observed it carefully. After a moment, the box frozen by the ice suddenly cracked into thin ice fragments, which dissipated without a trace under the blow of the sea breeze.
"It's pollutants!" Zero said.
"Pollutants?" Zhang Tuohai raised his eyebrows.
"Well, it's a kind of strange energy that can initially give ordinary items magical abilities, allowing ordinary people to gain extraordinary power, but using this energy is not without cost."
"If you use items containing polluted energy for a long time, or are exposed to the radiation of polluted energy, people will degenerate into polluters. The initial polluters will have their minds eroded, unable to think rationally, lose their memory, and can only rely on
Act on instinct.”
"All contaminated people have a common goal, which is to kill all uncontaminated creatures."
Zero said.
"Can't think, can only act on instinct, killing uninfected people sounds like zombies." Zhang Tuohai analyzed.
"What about their mobility?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"It's what it was like before it was contaminated. There won't be any changes. It's just that it has lost the sense of pain and will not be afraid of danger." Zero said.
"That's right." Zhang Tuohai nodded, "I just heard you talking about the initial polluter, which means there are subsequent variants?"
"When the pollution concentration increases, level 2 polluters will appear," Ling Liang nodded. "The level 2 polluters will gain physical enhancement. The specific degree of enhancement is related to the contaminated items they come into contact with. At the same time, level 2 polluters will also be used for
Children’s IQ.”
"Later, there are Level 3 polluters with truly extraordinary abilities and normal IQ, Level 4 polluters who have become crazy and more powerful, Level 5 polluters whose bodies have become huge, and Level 5 polluters who can control other polluters, etc." "So many?" Zhang Tuohai was speechless.
"Well, I feel like there should be more later, but I can't remember it for a while. Maybe I can remember it if I see more similar things." Zero said while rubbing his temples.
"Then that box just now..."
"An ordinary first-order pollutant." Zero said.
"Is the first level so strong?" Zhang Tuohai opened his mouth wide.
The effect of this thing is already comparable to that of a face recognition device, but it is only at the first level?
What about second- and third-order pollutants?
He didn't even dare to think about it.
"It's really just the first level." Ling Liang nodded.
"That's really bad." Zhang Tuohai sighed. He originally thought that with his current strength, he could push back the empire, but now it seems that many variables have been added out of thin air.
"By the way," Zhang Tuohai suddenly thought of a question, "Those lobster soldiers are holding these pollutants. Could they have been subtly contaminated?"
"No, it's possible, it's definitely, they are already here."
Zero points to the distance.
Zhang Tuohai looked into the distance and saw a large group of lobster soldiers coming from a distance.
The eyes of these lobster soldiers were full of ferocious looks. They staggered on the streets. They rushed into shops and houses one after another, dragged out civilians who had not been contaminated one by one, and then bit them with their teeth.
Use your hands to tear these civilians into pieces.
Then find the next target and repeat the process.
"Sure enough, they have been contaminated. Then we can't keep them."
Zhang Tuohai knows very well that these polluters should be killed once they are discovered, otherwise, if they are allowed to do whatever they want, the entire island will become a dead city.
Zhang Tuohai still needs these cities as a source of supplies, and cannot let the cities fall like this.
Zhang Tuohai ran up to the captain's bridge, controlled the cable and began to adjust the direction of the gun, load the shells, and light the match rope.
Boom, boom, boom!
Round after round of cannonballs shot out, shooting towards the lobster soldier polluters in the distance.
Bang bang bang!
Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the lobster soldier polluters were blown to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Those polluters that were blown to pieces shook a few times on the ground and then stopped moving.
"It's okay. It will kill you even if you hit the vital point. It's not as perverted as a zombie."
Zhang Tuohai had a general understanding of the strength of these first-order polluters, and then controlled the artillery to carry out covering strikes towards the places where the polluters gathered.
Boom!
The explosion roared and smoke and dust were everywhere.
Soon, those polluters were almost eliminated.
Zhang Tuohai won the first round.
However, Zhang Tuohai was not happy.
Because what is being killed now is only on the surface. Who knows how many more are hidden secretly? He is sure that there must be more than two such square boxes in the toy island, and this does not include other similar products that may exist.
I don’t know how many people on the entire island have been contaminated.
With so many polluters, they cannot all be Level 1 polluters. There may also be Level 2 or even Level 3 polluters among them, so we need to deal with them carefully.
The only thing that makes Zhang Tuohai happy is that an ordinary first-level polluter can actually give two points of experience, which is comparable to the elite soldiers of the empire.
This means it becomes a little easier for him to level up.
