Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 217 Before the huge 30-meter breakthrough and the water battle

When they arrived at the so-called wheat flour mill, workers were loading and unloading the crops after preliminary processing.

Since the academy began to implement some food technologies, most people in the world, except for those extremely poor areas, will not worry about starving to death as long as they are in a civilized society and can support themselves.

The efficiency of this wheat flour mill began to decline, and it could only be maintained within the appropriate profit range allowed by the so-called market economy.

Because of this, they started looking for new business.

Grain brewing wine industry is a good career. Now reserve some raw materials. When the weather is cold in winter, these wines can be sold at a good price.

However, this factory actually presses and processes the grain in advance to make wine and store it, which is equivalent to carrying out the brewing process of the winery in advance.

Jeffrey has friends who work in the factory. Boys of fourteen or fifteen are cheap and durable, and not as cunning as the old workers.

However, requiring workers in this era to abide by the so-called contract order is indeed a bit demanding.

The good friend led them to sneak in and hide on the top step of the normal grain warehouse. When the next delivery vehicle left, there would be a half-hour gap here.

The workers will rest on the spot, and some brave ones will instruct the young workers to steal the materials sent to the pressing machine. Although the liquor leaked out of it is very turbid, it is okay to drink.

After listening to Jeffrey's needs, this buddy volunteered to take Amanda and the others over while the workers were about to steal the wine.

The guys had to go back after picking up the items. They made an appointment to pick them up during the next shipping cycle.

At this moment, there were only a few of them in front of the entire channel.

The grain residue left after being filtered is accumulated in the space under the huge channel and will be processed uniformly.

At first glance, it was bottomless, with only the strong smell of ethanol mixture emanating from it.

The walls on both sides of the channel are inlaid with thick fireproof isolation layers. It takes some effort to climb up both sides of the channel.

Generally speaking, drunkards who are attracted by the so-called smell of alcohol do not have enough sense and strength to climb up.

However, because it is a newly built factory, the gate to the area where the channel is located was only completed two days ago. Before that, it was patrolled by night security guards.

Obviously, these people are not responsible, and most of the drunkards do not have families. Even if they do not die here after being drunk, they will die for other reasons.

Therefore, people actually did not react much, just a few words of symbolic condemnation.

Amanda held on to the railing on one side and looked down.

Omega has begun to sense that there are no human corpses or limbs of other creatures below.

At least according to Jeffrey's buddies, no one ever tried to fish out the bodies of the people who fell in.

It was originally planned to be completed at the end of this month and be dealt with during the unified cleanup.

However, Omega found some traces of squirming and struggling, which at least proved that the person who fell was still alive at the beginning and was attacked by something.

As for what it is, it's hard to judge.There is no biomass left here, and Omega has no way of knowing.

"Amanda, you seem to be glowing?"

Astra carefully tugged at the corner of Amanda's clothes, and everyone looked over.

Amanda was a little confused. He looked at his body, and there was indeed a faint brilliance flickering.

"Omega, what happened?"

"Nothing, um, I think we are going to break through the 30-meter limit of enlargement. The power in the comics collected in the past two months has taken effect, but why is it at this time. I hope this change will not be too big. Da, find something to cover you up, Amanda, at least it’s not a bad thing.”

Omega's tone was a little helpless. Although he has made huge progress, he is expected to return to his normal height of 52 meters within two years.

However, in the past two years, it is difficult to understand the pattern of changes.

After all, the distribution and reading trends of comics have begun to expand across the country and even the world. Although they are still not a giant in the entire cultural market, they are just some relatively novel tributaries.

However, judging where the distribution of comics will peak based solely on the backward paper data collection requires some manpower. Currently, there is no manpower available to do these things. We have to wait until each quarter's summary to see the specific data. .

This also caused Amanda to almost forget about the increased power that reading comics gave her, and suddenly she began to break through the 30-meter height limit at this time.

The hugeness of 30 meters is already huge in cities of this era.

"Don't worry about me for now. Let's see if there are any passages around that can accommodate large objects."

Amanda hid behind a box, covering up the light radiating from her body, and asked the doctor to lead others to search for any other undiscovered clues in the channel.

Jeffrey didn't care about the surrounding situation, and his eyes looked at Amanda who was glowing behind the box from time to time.

An hour later, Jeffrey's buddies came over, but they still found nothing.

If you want to find clues, you can only hope that the monsters attracted by the smell of alcohol will appear tonight.

Jeffrey stayed alone with Amanda and the others, letting the other followers leave.

In the middle of the night, the patrolling security guards looked tired and left after a cursory glance.

Amanda, who had broken through 30 meters, didn't feel any difference in her body. He transformed into a sky form and flew directly above the entire channel, observing his surroundings.

Omega's perception covered the entire factory, and until a few ten minutes after the security left, something seemed to be flowing in the pipes connected to the upper stages of the channels and the grinding tables for crushing grain.

This is not the sound of the food residue left after normal production, but more like the sound of some kind of thick and sticky gel passing through the filter, constantly crowding his body, and slowly advancing.

It was a gesture of actively searching for food, and it was a living creature.

Amanda motioned for everyone to hide, and the form was covered in one piece, and she jumped into the pool below the channel. The light on her body converged, and she looked dim and dark, with no light.

He stared at the opening of the pipe, waiting for the contents to flow out.

Under the gaze of people in the distance, two slender tentacles, which seemed to be newly regenerated body parts, took the lead in extending out of the pipe, tapping the remaining wine on the pipe, making a joyful sound.

Then he squeezed out his huge body, more than three meters high, from the pipe and slid down the channel.

"The larval form of the alien beast Pedron Klein (meaning tiny)."

Omega slowly read out the name.
