my stealth fighter

Chapter 453 Reinforcement
This stump was a claw of the transparent monster, cut off by No. 33 from the forearm, it was still transparent when it first landed, and it was gradually revealed.

Speaking of which, transparent monsters are also limbs, and each limb also has a joint in the middle, similar to human elbows and knees.

Large terrestrial animals on the earth basically have this structure, probably because two-segment limbs can provide enough flexibility, and dividing them into more segments will weaken the support. Two joints, divided into three sections, may be more flexible, but what is the use of extra flexibility?
Only very fine operations need to be more flexible, but as long as this function is added to the ends of the limbs, for example, human fingers are all three-segmented except for the thumb.

If the arm is also three-stage, it will be troublesome to lift heavy objects flat, so evolution has chosen two-stage.

The same is true for the limb structure of this transparent monster. Although it did not evolve from the same biosphere as humans, evolution will always choose those more efficient paths. Perhaps there have been large terrestrial creatures with three-segment limbs in the history of the earth. Animals, but those animals have obviously been eliminated by evolution - when the same species fights, the two-segment arm can burst out with greater strength, and the three-segment arm is extinct.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the body structure of the transparent monster is very similar to the monkeys on the earth. They are all the best choices made by evolution, but there are differences in details, such as the pair of long rabbit-like ears.

The forearm that No. 33 stepped on is also white with gray and has no hair... If you don’t look at the position of the palm, you may mistake it for the arm of a dead person in the morgue.

However, its palm is very different from that of humans or monkeys. Its fingers are short and stubby, and its nails are thick and sharp. It is the roof that was scratched with this finger.

No. 33 didn't have time to take a closer look, stabbed it into the forearm with a short knife, and carried it back to the room.

When the girls saw what she was picking up, they backed up a few steps in horror and disgust, while Jiang Chanji, the suzerain, Louisa, Catherine, and No. 15 moved forward instead of retreating, and gathered around to observe carefully.

Jiang Chanji took out a tissue from the tissue bag in the house, touched the stump through the tissue, and said to the others, "It's hot."

"What's wrong with the heat? Do you still want to try it?" Leila frowned.

Aurora thought about it, "This is very important. It's hot. Firstly, it means that it is a warm-blooded animal. Secondly, Qianyang, I remember that your scope can be adjusted to thermal infrared imaging mode?"

Qian Yang was startled, then nodded.

Her scope has this function, but she rarely uses it, one is because she seldom acts at night, the other is because the conditions of use are very limited, and it is useless if there is a little occlusion, and the third is because of her scope It is monocular. After starting thermal infrared imaging, one eye sees a simple outline of red, yellow, green and blue colors, while the other eye sees a normal field of view, which is very awkward.

"Then you switch to the infrared mode to see if you can see the image of this stump?" Aurora said.

Qianyang adjusted according to the words, and immediately nodded again: "I can see it."

"Then if we encounter this kind of monster next time, thermal imaging should save us from being so passive like this time." Aurora breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Yang patted her head in frustration, "It would be great if I had thought of it earlier..."

"It's not your fault, no one knows it's a warm-blooded animal, and even if you think about it, if you switch to infrared mode, you won't be able to see it through the PVC roof." Aurora comforted.

"Maybe it's possible to see a second one..."

"No, you can't see the second one either." Aurora walked to the window and tapped the glass lightly with her knuckles, "Don't forget, the infrared mode is to passively detect the infrared rays emitted by the target to form an image. Infrared ray itself is light beyond the range of human eyes. It has a longer wavelength than visible light and carries less energy, and the light will be reflected and refracted by the glass. The longer the wavelength, the easier it is to reflect, so you can’t detect it through the glass. It's only a monster's infrared, and you can't see it when you switch to infrared mode, unless you step out of the house, there is nothing to regret."

Qianyang suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

As Aurora said, thermal infrared imaging is very limited by the environment. A leaf can block it, a thin glass can block it, and even fog can't penetrate it, so it's no wonder Qianyang didn't think of it in advance.

But having said that, something is better than nothing. If No. 33, who was outside just now, was also equipped with the same type of monocular scope, and switched to infrared mode in time, then what was left was not just a stump. .

The suzerain said in a deep voice: "We have never encountered such a monster before, otherwise we would definitely prepare in advance."

"One more thing, the appearance of two monsters together may indicate that they live in groups. Fortunately, there are only two this time. If it is a large group..." Aurora did not continue.

If they were caught off guard by a large group of monsters of the same type, and their most powerful suzerain was in an extremely weak state, and there was a poisonous and irritating gas outside, in the worst case, they might be wiped out here.

They are not afraid of poisoning, but mainly because they cough continuously outside, and when they cough, they inhale more irritating gas, and then cough more severely. How can they fight against the enemy in this state?
The transparent monsters did not cough. It may be that their respiratory system is different from that of humans, or it may be that they have adapted to the poisonous gas of fireflies to a certain extent.

"It seems that it is necessary to make more sets of monocular scopes like Qianyang..." Aurora changed the subject.

Luisa can't understand Chinese, but she can see that everyone's eyes are on Qianyang's scope. When Qianyang switches to thermal infrared imaging mode, the inside of the lens will reflect Qianyang's eyes into red and green , so she curiously asked Leila what it was, and after getting the answer, she couldn't help making a request, hoping to get a batch of the same scope.

The monocular scope was designed by Zixuan and ordered by Hongye Academy. It was inconvenient for Aurora to make the decision, but Jiang Chanji agreed to it. Neither Zixuan nor the school is so stingy. This thing is not for personal gain. It is necessary to have one for everyone who is likely to use it.

The suzerain looked outside, stood up with support, and said: "There can't be no one outside for a long time, it's time for me to watch."

"metropolitan……"

"My lord..."

Several people spoke at the same time, and everyone could see that the suzerain's current situation is not suitable for taking risks in person. If something happens, the Ninja Academy, which hopes to regain hope, will fall into the abyss completely.

"Master Sovereign, I request to exchange masks with you, and I should go out to be on duty!" No. 33 stopped in front of Sovereign.

"No, you can rest." The suzerain shook his head.

"You two!" Jiang Chanji interrupted, "Stop arguing, can you fit a monocular scope in your mask? If not, if the transparent monster comes out again, won't you still not be able to see it? "

The masks of the ninja suit fit the shape of the head and have a certain degree of elasticity and tightness. However, it would be very uncomfortable if they were forced into the monocular scope. Some ninja academy.

Everyone was silent for a while, and now only the suzerain can go out normally, but the mask and scope are not compatible, making everyone helpless.

At this moment, Mio's ears moved - most people's ears can't move by themselves, but her ears are very flexible.

"What sound?" She looked up suspiciously.

"what?"

Except for Mio, no one heard any strange noises, only the rattling sound of permanent magnets rolling.

Mi Ao frowned and tried hard to think. She forgot how to say that Chinese term for a moment, and after a few seconds, she choked out a sentence: "Steel Dragonfly!"

What the hell is a steel dragonfly?

Everyone thought that some kind of insect-like monster appeared in the "passage". Aurora reacted first: "Are you talking about a helicopter?"

"Yes! Olala, your brain is still useful occasionally!" Mio clapped his fists.

No one else heard the sound of the helicopter, which meant that the helicopter was far away and not approaching.

"Could it be that the teachers are here?" Qianyang said excitedly.

"It's possible!" Xiaosui also smiled, "Maybe the call came on the 22nd!"

"Great...but why didn't the helicopter fly over?" Qianyang was worried about gain and loss, and was afraid that it was not the teacher but someone else, such as the helicopter passing by here.

In fact, she was thinking too much, how could a helicopter just pass by such a ghostly place?
"The magnetic field interference here is too strong, and the helicopter can't get close." Aurora explained.

Vehicles can at least be able to drive under the interference of strong magnetic fields, but helicopters have too many electronic devices, which are easily disturbed, and may even lose control directly.

"What should we do? Can the teachers come over safely?" Qianyang looked worriedly at the tiny lightning in the mist again, "Should we pick them up?"

"No need." The suzerain said, "Our ninja suit has a certain degree of insulation. As far as I know, Hongye Academy also has a special suit, which is specially used to deal with this kind of incident."

There is no distinction between magnetism and electricity. The appearance of "channels" will be accompanied by strong magnetic fields, and as long as water vapor is not too scarce, there will be lightning and thunder, even in extremely dry deserts.

Many people played with it when they were young. When the magnet comes into contact with the sand, it will suck out a lot of black granular substances from the sand. Those are ferric oxide, a proper magnetic substance, attracted by the magnetic field, and the black particles rub against each other. It will generate electricity, so even in the desert, micro-lightning is also possible.

That being the case, it is definitely impossible to say that Hongye Academy did not prepare for the miniature lightning in advance.

However, no matter the ninja suit or the special clothes of Hongye Academy, they can only deal with the miniature lightning associated with the "channel". If the voltage is too high, such as Wang Yefei's lightning, the insulation layer will still be broken down.

No. 33 was taken aback. She knew that there would be no danger of electric shock if she wore a ninja suit and directly touched the mains. But they are ninjas who steal information, not electricians. Is it necessary to add a layer of special fabric insulation?Just in case, just add an insulating layer to the gloves, right?Now she realized that the real purpose of the insulation design of the ninja suit was not as simple as she thought.

"Someone!"

Several people scratched their necks, pressed their faces against the window, and looked eagerly at the entrance of the depression, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally saw a few figures swaying in the mist, and miniature lightning seemed to be lingering around them.

Aurora has maintained the fog-free zone for a long time. Using the ability for a long time is like a long-distance jog, which is more tiring than a short-term burst of ability. Now she doesn't care much, and tries her best to expand the fog-free zone.

Several figures finally revealed their true colors. Judging from their body types, they should all be women, but they were all dressed in gray clothes. There was a zipper at the back collar, and a hood of the same color could be pulled out. They were all wrapped in gray clothes from head to toe. When they got up, they were still wearing gas masks, so they couldn't tell what they looked like.

Jiang Chanji and the others were wondering if they were the teachers of Hongye College, when they suddenly saw the Hongye logo of the same style as the school badge on their chests, it was unmistakable.

"Here we are!" they yelled excitedly.

A total of five teachers came, two of them stared at the "passage" with horns, and the other three entered the room.

The three teachers looked at them, and their eyes frequently fell on the three ninjas. One of the teachers asked, "Which one is the suzerain of the Ninja Academy?"

"I am." The suzerain got up.

"Sorry, we are late." The teacher first apologized, "We actually arrived nearby earlier, but found that the fog was poisonous, so we had to go back to the helicopter to get a gas mask. It's late."

"Huh? Teacher Li is here too?"

Jiang Chanji looked at the two teachers who stayed outside, one of them was relatively flat, and that one should be Li Muqin.

The suzerain also looked out, as if he had finally put his heart back into his stomach, but he still reminded: "Please tell the two teachers outside that some kind of transparent monster appeared in the 'passage' this time, which is quite troublesome. "

The teacher who spoke raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "You guys also met here?"

"What do you mean?" The Sovereign could hear a difference in her tone.

"The head of the school is dealing with another 'passage' in Kunlun Mountains. She and several teachers in the same company also encountered some kind of invisible monster, but I don't know if it is the same kind as what you encountered..." The teacher explained, " We just got in touch with the principal, and she was shocked to learn that there was a second 'passage', but she is thousands of miles away and can't come back for the time being."

The suzerain was also shocked, "Two 'channels' appeared at the same time?"

During her time of isolation, the world has changed so much?
