Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"Can that kind of substance be separated? Just a little bit will be enough." Li Ang's expression became serious.

If the situation is serious, you may even need to notify the Grand Knight Commander.

"let me try."

Adele nodded slightly, and the brilliance of the Origin Stone skills became more intense. A small vortex formed on her hand, and the surrounding air continued to pour into this vortex.

This spell is used by Adele to analyze the composition of the air near the volcano.

When a volcano is about to erupt, a large amount of sulfur-containing gas will be released from the crater. Adele can use magic to separate these sulfur-containing gases and use them to infer the activity of the volcano.

This is a spell commonly used in laboratories, and Adele has become very proficient in it after using it for more than ten years.

Although Li Ang can take advantage of the sword and surpass Adele in terms of pure destructive power, for such research spells that require accumulation of experience, Li Ang is completely inferior to Adele.

Time passed minute by minute, and just after Adele filtered almost all the air on this street, the center of the small vortex finally changed.

"Successful!" Adele shouted in surprise.

A drop of dark blue liquid floated quietly in Adele's palm.

"We found it too late, so that's all we could collect." Adele said with some regret.

"Enough is enough."

As long as it can be confirmed that those people are indeed affected by the unknown drug, this drop of liquid is enough to analyze the ingredients.

Those who were caught and infected should still have a lot of this substance remaining in their bodies.

After asking Sona for a clean glass bottle, and putting the drop of liquid in it, Li Ang handed the glass bottle to a Rhode Island operator who noticed something unusual here and came to check the situation, and explained The situation here asked him to help send this drop of liquid to Rhode Island for analysis.

After doing all this, Li Ang said to Sona.

"You should know where the hometown association's stronghold is, right? Can you take us there directly?"

Chapter 20 Radom Association

"...Can I refuse? But I will tell you where the base of the Radom Association is."

Sona frowned. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to get involved in such trouble.

Sona had already sensed something was wrong from the moment the Caprini girl separated the drop of dark blue liquid from the air.

"Don't worry, I will pay you."

As he spoke, Li Ang took out five banknotes with the largest denominations from his wallet, worth a total of 5000 marks.

Sona was unmoved.

A mere five thousand marks was just enough for their bakery for a week.

Li Ang took out five more identical banknotes and increased the price to 10000 marks.

Sona's eyes flickered.

Turnover is not simply profit. They can earn very little in this infected area. Ten thousand marks is already a free income.

However, this was not enough to make Sona's heart flutter.

Avona obviously wanted to say something, but was stopped by Grenati and Justina.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Ang simply took out all the cash on him, which was about [-] marks.

"That's all the cash I have on me."

Li Ang showed his empty wallet and spread his hands helplessly.

Who can carry so much cash when they go out?This money was specially exchanged for emergencies, and now he has taken it all out.

"I still have some here."

Although she didn't understand why Li Ang insisted on hiring Sona, Adele still took out all the money she had.

Added to the part that Li Ang had taken out before, this was already a huge sum of nearly [-] marks.

"I……"

Sona's pupils were trembling, and the smell of ink on the banknotes kept stimulating her nerves.

She is not a saint who regards money as dirt. Sona knows very well how expensive it is to live in this city.

Not to mention that they had just suffered an unreasonable disaster. Those thugs smashed many things in the store, which was another huge expense.

It's not that Sona is weak in will, but that Li Ang really gave too much.

Just when she was hesitating, Barry suddenly jumped out and looked eagerly at the stack of bills in Li Ang's hand.

"I can take you there! I know where those people's stronghold is."

Hearing Barry's voice, Sona calmed down and waved the film boy aside, "Go, go, this is not a place for you to cause trouble."

"But Captain... I'm no longer a child," Barry said aggrievedly, "I also want to do something for everyone in the Red Pine Knights..."

Sona was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "This is very dangerous, I just have to do it."

After saying that, Sona extended her hand to Li Ang, "I agree to your request."

"Pleasant to work with."

Li Ang smiled and put the [-] marks into Sona's hands.

Holding this huge sum of money, the expression on Sona's face kept changing. Finally, she exhaled heavily and put the banknotes in her pocket.

"Wait for me here for a while, I'm going to make some preparations."

Sona said this while turning around and walking towards the bakery.

When passing by Grenati again, Grenati asked her, "Do you need my help?"

"No need." Sona shook her head, "I can do it by myself. Your weapons are not suitable for use in that kind of terrain."

"Yeah." Grenati nodded.

"And Xiao Hui, watch out for Avona, don't let her do stupid things."

"clear."

"Who would do something stupid!!"

Amid Avona's protests, Sona returned to the bakery.

Not long after, Sona put on a light armor with bright silver as the main tone.

Like most knights, this armor only uses metal in a few key positions, and the remaining parts are all made of cheap leather. The decorative effect is far greater than the actual effect, and the defensive power is better than nothing.

But for Sona, this light armor and that one-handed sword are already the most valuable equipment on her body.

"I'm ready, let's go." Sona said with a tight little face.

After looking at each other with Adele, the two silently followed Sona's pace.

She did not choose to proceed from the outside avenue, but led the two of them through the gaps in the building, heading towards the industrial area along a very strange path.

As if she guessed their doubts, Sona took the initiative to explain before Li Ang asked, "This road can avoid most surveillance. I don't want to get into trouble."

On the way to the industrial area, Sona also told them what the Radom Association was.

The so-called Radom Association, as the name suggests, is a mutual aid organization established by a group of infected people who came out of the small town of 'Radom'.

That small town suffered a natural disaster not long ago, which was the natural disaster artificially created by Kane more than three months ago.

The small town of Radom was within the scope of the natural disaster, but they did not receive the early warning from the natural disaster messenger in time.

By the time they reacted and prepared to evacuate, it was already too late.

Although many people survived, most of them were infected with ore disease due to the pollution caused by the natural disaster.

The town was destroyed and they had no place to survive, so they entered the Grand Knight Territory one after another by smuggling. Sona and the others took out the arena at about this time.

Sona had borrowed the identities of these people before, so she was more concerned about what they were doing.

When Plot Zero was officially put into use, these refugees were already among the priority targets for rescue, so most of them passed the screening and entered Plot Zero.

The Radom Association was established around this time. They were the most conspicuous thorn in the industrial area, and it was difficult not to pay attention to them.

"Their leader is a man named Lucivid. It is said that he was once a war knight, but later retired due to injury," Sona whispered, "Their stronghold is in the scrap area behind the factory dormitory, where there are piles of A lot of leftover building materials and scrap products from factories were also thrown there.”

"It's more complicated than a maze now, and it's the best hiding place in this urban area."

Oh, it turns out to be that garbage factory.

Li Ang recalled the map of Lot Zero, and then remembered where Sona was referring to.

The recycling price of excess building materials was even more expensive than buying a new set. At that time, there was no other place to use those materials, so the project leader simply designated a place and threw all the unused materials there.

After scanning the waste area with his senses, Li Ang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, 1

"Hey, I'm afraid we're too late."

"What?" Sona was stunned for a moment.

"Do you remember the previous explosion? I just checked and the explosion happened in the waste area you mentioned."

Chapter 21 Peepers

An explosion occurred in a place where scrap was piled, which would not be considered news at all.

Who knows what kind of stuff is piled up in that place, but no one wants to take care of it, and no one is willing to take care of it.

But combined with the riot that happened not long ago, this explosion seems a bit subtle... Could it be destroying evidence?

Li Ang had already shown his detection ability before, so Sona still believed in what he said.

When she heard that the explosion occurred in the scrap area, she quickly quickened her pace.

The waste area is so big, what if the explosion happened somewhere else?

But when Sona led them to the scene, she discovered that what actually happened was undoubtedly the worst situation.

"...There used to be many abandoned large containers piled here, and the Radom Association used them as their stronghold."

Looking at the ruins in front of her, Sona's expression was very complicated. "Those people from the hometown association only occupy part of the containers. In addition to them, there are also some infected people who have smuggled in and are hiding here."

The containers that were originally stacked on top of each other have long been turned into tattered iron sheets. Among the stone rubble, many daily necessities can be seen scattered among them, and some faint smell of burning can be smelled.

The infected people who were still hiding in this place when the explosion occurred are probably in danger.

"... Are there any who smuggled here?"

Li Ang looked a little surprised when he heard Sona's explanation.

In order to prevent large groups of infected people from gathering to cause trouble, Lot Zero has a very strict identity verification mechanism.

If you sneak into this place, you will not be able to use most of the facilities in the city except staying in this garbage dump.

So, Li Ang asked this question.

"Why not? Even if you stay in this garbage dump, it will be much better than the old city." Sona replied coldly, "Hiding in the old city, you will not only have to endure hunger, but you may also get sick at any time. Life is at risk. What if any noble master gets interested and needs to catch a few 'claw beasts' for training?"

"You have the ability to support yourself, but it's different for those low-level infected people who can't even find a job."

The two were speechless.

Neither Leon nor Adele has experienced the life of a truly low-level infected person.

Li Ang's ability is almost perfect to control the Origin Stone. No matter what standard is used to test him, he is not considered an infected person.

Although Adele is an infected person, Letania has a rather ambiguous attitude towards infected people. In addition, she has a good family. In addition to being squeezed out in some special places and feeling uncomfortable, the infected person's attitude is also ambiguous. Her identity did not bring her more suffering.

"...Well, I really don't know."

Li Ang sighed and gently dropped the topic.

The permanent population of the Grand Knight Territory is 400 million, and there are at least 5 infected people hiding in this city, which is a very large number.

It is impossible for Li Ang to save everyone here.

"Anyway, this is the place you are looking for." Sona said a little anxiously, "If you want to investigate anything, just investigate it quickly. I will help you monitor the surrounding situation... I always have a bad feeling. ."

Sona could have walked away. Anyway, the previous cooperation only required her to bring the two of them to the Radom Club's residence, and did not ask her to do anything next.

Even if she leaves now, Sona has fulfilled her responsibilities perfectly.

But... let alone getting so much reward, Sona was embarrassed to leave the two of them alone.
