Chapter 240 Science and Enlightenment
Narancia was so cold that he almost lost consciousness.
It was impossible for him to continue fighting.
But with his last bit of will, Aerosmith launched a final attack towards his enemy's weak spot.
The bullet roared in the flames, and it seemed that it would penetrate the nearby air vent and pierce the spine of the invincible man in the next second.
However…
Bang bang bang bang!
There was a crisp sound of metal collision on Jiaqiu's neck.
This sound was so despairing because it revealed the cruel truth at the first moment:
Naranja's attack failed.
The bullets didn't even touch Jiaqiu's flesh.
What they touched was the air vent that Narancia once regarded as the only hope, but was now instantly blocked by hard ice crystals.
The ventilation holes disappeared, and what remained was only a piece of connected ice crystal, a piece of armor without any holes.
All the bullets were bounced away by the ice crystals.
Jiaqiu was unharmed.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Jiaqiu showed a ferocious smile arrogantly:
"Do you really think it would be such a coincidence that there would be a gap big enough for a plane to crash into?"
"Idiots - this was a trap for you from the beginning!"
"This big fly that was flying around everywhere has finally fallen into my hands!"
Just as he finished speaking, Aerosmith, who had just delivered a fatal blow in the center of the cold air, was instantly frozen by a layer of frost in this desperate situation of ultra-low temperature.
Its owner, Narancia, soon could not resist the cold and fell into coma in an instant.
Aerosmith then vanished from the ice, along with his master's consciousness.
"You guys really don't understand White Album at all."
The cold air still echoed with Jiaqiu's taunts:
"This vent is not an inherent loophole on my body, but a hole I made on my neck for breathing. I can close it anytime I want!"
"You think this hole is your only hope. Haha... You've been staring at the wrong place from the beginning."
Yes, as he said...
This ventilation hole is not a weakness at all, but rather a flaw that he deliberately exposed to the enemy.
As long as the enemy finds out that this invincible creature still has a weak spot that can be broken, they will automatically make .
This way, the enemy's actions become very predictable.
And when the enemy really risks their lives to launch a desperate attack on that so-called weakness, they will...
Just like Narancia now, killed by his own stupidity and recklessness.
"hehe."
"The will is good, but it's used in the wrong direction."
Looking at Narancia who had fallen powerlessly, the smile on Jiaqiu's face became more ferocious.
He looked at the only remaining prey with great sarcasm and said mockingly:
"This idea wasn't something you came up with, was it?"
"Then you've caused your companions' deaths to be in vain, Fugo."
Fugo said nothing.
He lowered his head and looked quietly at Narancia who fell at his feet.
He looked so low and speechless, as if he had been driven into utter despair by the sudden turn of events.
"Very good. Very good."
Jiaqiu increasingly felt that he was not far from victory:
"That Naranja's ability was somewhat threatening to me, but he foolishly fell into their trap."
"Since this little brat has no strength left, I can save the energy of maintaining the "Silent Cry"."
That ability to freeze the air is designed to target firearm bullets.
To use this ability, the temperature around you needs to be lowered to below minus 210 degrees Celsius, and you also have to carefully adjust the suspension position of the air ice crystals to achieve the exaggerated bullet-bouncing effect.
This is obviously a considerable expense.
But now Narancia has lost consciousness, so this trick is completely useless against Fugo who has no gun.
After all, the cold air of dozens of degrees below zero can instantly turn Zi Yan's poisonous fog into ice powder, and it is a sheer waste to use the ultra-low temperature of more than two hundred degrees below zero on Fuge.
There is no need for Jiaqiu to keep wasting energy maintaining this extremely energy-consuming ability.
So, facing Fugo, who was no longer a threat, he simply canceled his "Silent Cry".
The temperature instantly rose to over 100 degrees below zero.
The transparent air ice crystals mixed with alcohol that were suspended around Jiaqiu also began to melt rapidly under such "high temperature".
The transparent air ice crystals, which could not be explained by science, quickly melted into liquid.
It can be seen to the naked eye that this liquid air mixed with alcohol is partially colorless and partially light blue.
"It actually shows color after liquefaction? Great, this way we can see it more clearly..."
"The colorless one is liquid nitrogen, and the light blue one is liquid oxygen."
"And liquid oxygen..."
Seeing the light blue liquid floating around Jiaqiu and even spilling directly onto Jiaqiu's armor, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Fuge's silent pupils.
But Jiaqiu didn't pay attention, because with his brain, he couldn't imagine that Fugo, who was now alone, had any qualifications to fight back.
He was ready to deal with Fugo as quickly, easily and economically as he was doing now:
"I told you, the only place you can go with ice is hell."
Jiaqiu approached rapidly with a cold aura.
Although the coldness was not as cold as the previous "Silent Cry", it was more than enough to deal with Fu Ge and Zi Yan:
"It's all over now..."
"Go to hell with your stupid companion!"
"madness?"
Fugo's voice was unusually cold.
That kind of cold is a calm cold, but also an angry cold:
"Do you think Narancia was just being hot-headed and dying in vain?"
"Um?"
"What do you mean... Does Narancia have some hidden trick up his sleeve?"
Jiaqiu had already sensed something was wrong from the opponent's sudden change in momentum.
But it's too late now.
Time has unknowingly become "slow", and Zi Yan beside Fu Ge showed a kitchen knife that she had picked up at some point.
Knife? Was he going to use the knife on my white album?
How is this possible?
Even a bullet can't penetrate my armor, how can a knife do that?
A series of question marks suddenly emerged in Jiaqiu's mind. Until now, he still couldn't figure out what the enemy's trump card was.
At this moment, Zi Yan threw the knife with all her might.
The target is the light blue liquid mixed with alcohol.
The blade and Gashou's armor collided violently, making a crisp buzzing sound.
Faintly, there was a faint spark quietly blooming in the collision.
"Naranja's awakening..."
Fugo's eyes were burning with fire:
“It will definitely not be in vain!”
※※※
Half a minute ago.
At the door of the wine cellar, Naranja asked in confusion, "Wine?"
"No..." Fugo shook his head and replied: "Use science and...enlightenment."
Having said that, he paused.
If the situation hadn't been urgent, he would have kept these words in his mouth for a long time.
Because it is a bit embarrassing to say this:
"Naranja, I need you to take the initiative to 'die'..."
"At the very least, you have to be seriously injured, serious enough to lose consciousness."
"Okay." Narancia replied without hesitation.
But Fugo seemed not to have heard it at all. He just continued with a red face:
"It's not that I don't dare to go, it's because you have to do it ."
"That move, 'Silent Cry', is used to guard against Aerosmith. Only when you lose consciousness will the enemy feel safe to remove the ability."
Fugo's tone was very subtle when he spoke.
There is no way. The word "enlightenment" is usually shouted when you are about to charge.
Now he is talking about great principles, but in fact he is sending others to their deaths. The word "enlightenment" sounds very harsh.
"Follow me" and "come on!", these two sentences are always different.
Fugo felt guilty and could only explain his thoughts in one go:
"Maintaining a low temperature field of over -210 degrees Celsius definitely consumes a lot of energy, so as long as you, Naranja, are eliminated, the enemy will definitely use the trick called 'Silent Cry' to save energy."
"The ability is released, the temperature rises, the solid air will turn into liquid, and the 21% solid oxygen will turn into liquid oxygen."
"Liquid oxygen is an extremely terrible combustion aid. It will not catch fire on its own."
"But once mixed with fuel, the mixture becomes extremely... explosive!"
Fugo kept mumbling.
It seems that by talking more, he can hide the complexity in his heart:
"Not to mention an open flame, even a mechanical collision can cause the mixture of liquid oxygen and fuel to explode instantly."
"Alcohol can play the role of 'fuel' here."
"You know the German V2 rocket?"
"Early liquid rocket engines used a combination of liquid oxygen and alcohol, and the power of this mixture was even enough to send satellites into space and allow missiles to cross the ocean."
"If I could make them explode on my enemies, then..."
"I said, no problem!"
Narancia interrupted Fugo's chatter with a serious expression.
Fugo fell silent for a moment.
When he spoke again, even his voice changed:
"Think about it, you might die on the spot."
"I know."
"I might fail, and my death would be in vain."
"I know."
"Even if you succeed, you may not survive."
"I know."
Narancia nodded heavily for the third time.
He was not as hesitant as Fugo. After answering, he rushed into the wine cellar to get the wine without looking back:
"I don't understand science or anything like that."
“But I know what enlightenment is.”
