I, the only extraordinary in this world

Chapter 98 Fuck

Although the White Lotus Sect entrenched here was almost destroyed after its defeat, this branch deep in the Qinling Mountains remained for a long time. Even the gunpowder factory that made nitrate continued to work until the entire White Lotus Sect collapsed.

Therefore, a large amount of gunpowder that had not had time to be sent to the frontline battlefield was sealed up here.

And those gunpowder are now all stacked in front of Li Heng.

This is the last thing this predecessor did.

Without the mysterious [Supressing Dragon Jian], the "poisonous dragon turning over" is already unstoppable. Once this huge amount of deposited poisonous gas pours out, not to mention the underground space, the Qinling Mountains on the ground above will also be covered by poisonous fog!

At that time, villages, small villages, and even mountain forest roads within an unknown number of miles will be trapped by the "poisonous dragon", countless lives will be killed, and the casualties will be unimaginable.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use a large amount of gunpowder to blow up the rock wall where the cliff was located, and then cause the underground cavity to collapse to block the crack, and "suppress the poisonous dragon" again.

It has to be said that this is an extremely bold idea, and it is also his last fight to see death as home.

However, it is also an idea that cannot be successful.

Although he failed to complete the last step until his life was exhausted, leaving a hundred years of regret, but judging from the result, maybe it was good?

The gunpowder piled up here is all wrapped in dry cloth, packed into powder bags the size of Chinese medicine bags, and stacked and placed beside the rock wall, like a hill.

It is conservatively estimated that the total weight may be several thousand catties, and I don't know how long he has been busy alone in the underground to complete this huge workload.

Although this amount sounds huge, as if everything is invincible and can blow up everything, maybe the seniors back then thought so too.

However, the reality is cruel. First of all, the gunpowder is made by the very traditional folk nitrate refining method. It is a slightly higher-grade black gunpowder, because when Li Heng was in the gunpowder factory, he saw some moldy gunpowder. Cotton fluff.

This shows that the Bailian congregation at that time already knew that adding a small amount of cotton fiber can enhance the combustion efficiency of gunpowder.

But its explosive power is still far inferior to the smokeless gunpowder that appeared later, not to mention compared with modern high explosives.

Without detonators and blasting explosives, even if several thousand catties of gunpowder were detonated together, it would be difficult to shake the solid rock formations and stone walls.

It is impossible for the residue and rubble to be shattered by the explosive force to fill up and block this thousand-meter-long crack.

And at this moment, Li Heng clearly heard the sound of "Dragon's Breath" not far away. It was the sound of gas gradually expanding in the pressure imbalance. This narrow crack in the ground is its "Dragon Born Heaven" The place!

Li Heng noticed something was wrong in the bursts of sound.

"The time interval has become shorter and the decibel frequency has become higher, which proves that the pressure of each gas compression and release is increasing...No way"

This time even he felt surprised and uncomfortable.

It should be just a coincidence that I entered this place. Although this "poisonous dragon" has long been out of control, it has lasted for at least eight or ninety years. It can't be such a coincidence that it will explode at this time, right?
Li Heng was a little speechless and helpless, but even with only the turbulent fog tide below and the slight change in the air flow in the air, Li Heng could feel that the air pressure was gradually breaking the original balance.

Could it be that there was some obscure disturbance in my presence that exacerbated this imbalance?
Li Heng had no choice but to think this way, guessing that he was the butterfly flapping its wings, setting off the shackles of the "giant dragon".

Until he heard another sound, which was a very faint sound mixed with the friction of the airflow stretching and contracting-tick, tick...

It's the sound of running water...

This is not the first time he has heard this movement, not long ago he heard it vaguely on the altar.

Where is the sound of water coming from?
and many more!

Li Heng's eyes were wide open, and he suddenly looked up. There were layers of thick rock walls on the top of the underground cavity, but Li Heng's eyes were not on rocks.

His gaze seemed to have penetrated the rock wall and the thick strata here, all the way to the ground and to the sky!

He thought of the story the old man told again, of course it was no longer a story but a fact.

What is the beginning of it all?
It was caused by another torrential rain decades ago due to the disrepair of the reservoir, and after that flood, rats were infested.

The simplest and most direct understanding of people at that time was that the flood hit the rat nests in the mountains and forced the rats out.

This is not the case, the rat populations deep in this kind of underground will not be hit by the so-called flood on the surface and have nowhere to go.

However, heavy rain and floods will cause the flow of the groundwater system to be overloaded, and then there will be excess water seeping into the ground, and the water will flow to the lower places, where is the lowest?
This is the crack in the ground, where the "Poisonous Dragon" is!
Once the water flows into the underground cavity filled with geothermal heat, it will be immediately evaporated into water vapor and mixed into this huge gas group, strengthening the body of the "Dragon" and further disturbing the air pressure balance.

At this moment, Chen Zhouhe's words sounded in Li Heng's mind——

"I read the weather forecast that the weather will change and there will be heavy rain in the next few days. You should go down the mountain and come to my house to escape..."

If nothing else, at this moment, it is raining heavily outside!
Because staying below the ground for a long time not only made him completely unaware of the climate change on the surface, but the dark and deep environment also made his perception of the passage of time blurred.

In fact, he has been exploring this underground for nearly two days, and during this period of time, the amount of rainstorm precipitation has probably exceeded the carrying capacity of the mountain stream and the underground water system, and has penetrated into this layer.

At this moment, above his head, a burst of noise came again, it was the movement of rats.

It seemed that even they sensed something was wrong.

That's right, they are the aborigines here, and it is natural for them to perceive environmental changes immediately.

We can't delay any longer, we have to leave here immediately, once the "poisonous dragon turns over", these harmful gases will quickly explode and fill the entire underground cavity. Even if Li Heng can hold his breath for a long time, without protection, it is difficult for him to be sure that he can last Get out of the surface.

There is still time to go now, and it is easy to escape here with his current strength and speed.

Li Heng turned around and walked towards the hanging ladder, ready to climb the rock wall back to the top.

Just as he passed the desiccated rickety corpse, his footsteps suddenly slowed down, and he stopped after three steps.

"Fuck!"

He cursed angrily, and walked back with a straight face.

Isn't it just the poisonous dragon turning over and flooding with poisonous gas? Isn't it just the destruction of the ecological environment for tens of miles? Isn't it just the destruction of the ecological environment? Isn't it just thousands of lives?

Thousands of fucking lives!
The congealed breath in Li Heng's chest was suppressed.

You can call him a saint or you can call him soft, but he just can't let go, and he can't see everything and be alone.

He also knows that there is really no benefit in doing so. This is the real world, not the world of mythology. Even if he does some good deeds, there is no merit to speak of, and no one will know about it.

The world doesn't even know it happened.

But, didn't he do the same.

Li Heng's eyes fell on the face that was frozen with regret and urgency.
