Chapter 41: Artificial monster

　　 "Jason, protect Miss Catherine."
　　 had already prepared for Leo Chao Jason, and immediately rushed out of the room, lit the robe in his hand, and rushed towards the monster.
　　 The monster saw someone rushing out again and issued a rapid scream, and the moving speed was much faster.
　　 When the two approached and were about to collide, the crack that resembled a large mouth opened instantly, as if they wanted to swallow Leo.
However, Leo’s movements are like cheetahs, and his body is so flexible that every bone can twist. With a move and twist that ordinary people can’t do, he flashes away from the muddy monsters, just avoiding the other’s devouring. At the same time, he also took off the flintlock cannon on his back, and without hesitation put the muzzle against the monster's body and pulled the trigger.
A "bang" loud noise echoed through the entire cave space and spread out into the distance, so that many people in this underground city heard it, and stopped the things in their hands and watched the place where the sound came out. past.
　　Will the sound of the flintlock firearm disturb everyone who enters the underground? This issue is not under Leo’s current consideration. What he wants now is to kill the monster and survive.
After the hand gun was fired, the fireworks from the barrel instantly ignited the body of the muddy monster. At the same time, the rapid shot of the steel ball tore the monster's not-so-strong body apart, leaving a big hole in its body. Passing from the other side, hit the rock on the ground, and burst a small crater.
　　 The muddy monster doesn't seem to feel any pain. Even if the body is torn open, the attack is still not slow.
　　I saw that it did not turn around at all, and directly produced six tentacle-like limbs from the part closest to Leo, swept towards Leo like an octopus.
This kind of attack that can make ordinary people have nowhere to hide. For Leo, who is in perfect control, it is simply slow motion in the movie. It is easy for him to escape from the gap between attacks, and he also While hiding, he threw the robe in his hand that was completely burnt into the wound that was gradually healing on the monster.
It is different from the part of the body surface where the monster is lit by hand fireworks. The burn on the body surface does not impede the monster. It can quickly recover from the self-healing, but the flame burning directly in the body is enough for the monster. fatal.
　　 Leo just dropped the fireball made of the burqa into the monster body, and the next second the monster immediately became a violently burning fire, as if the body of the monster was all made of fuel.
　　 saw that the monster was completely ignited. In order to avoid the monster's death, Leo immediately backed away quickly and backed to a safe area before stopping.
　　 But soon he realized that he thought too much. Obviously the moment the monster started to burn, the monster was already dead, and now it was just the monster's body.
　　 "What is this? How could there be such a monster in the world?" After Leo signaled that it was safe, Catherine quickly walked out of the stone house and stood next to Leo, looking at the fire in front of her, and said pale.
"I also want to know what kind of monster this is. I think the top of the Aknaya church should know the answer." Leo said as he walked towards Jason, he came for a box of special ammunition specially made by Jean Valjean. , Tucked into the cannon and carried it behind his back.
　　 Now, Leo finds that the power of ordinary pistols can't deal with this kind of monsters. As for the king and queen, he has not yet been able to master the real use method, and there are few special bullets, so he will not consider using it until the last resort.
　　 On the contrary, the flintlock cannon that he had abandoned was able to play a good effect on this occasion, and there were more than fifty ammunition for the flintlock, enough for him to use.
　　 "Are you saying that these monsters were made by Major?" Catherine was unwilling to believe.
"Actually, you already have some doubts, don't you? Think about the location here, think about who controls it, and the answer is easy to find." Leo directly unveiled Catherine's idea of ​​hiding, letting it Face the things you least want to face directly.
　　Although Leo showed no knowledge of the origin of the monster, he only made a guess based on the current situation around him, but in fact he knew exactly where the monster came from.
In the underground space not far from here, after two large urban ruins, you will see an area cleaned up by the Aknaya Church. Here is a dozen wells in a deep well secret room, there are dozens of such It looks like a genetically collapsed monster.
The reason why Leo knew that the way to deal with this monster was to ignite the inside of his body with fire, because when he constructed the topographic map on the ground, he saw through the spiritual network that the priest of the Aknaya church in that area was Taking body fluid from a captured monster, and accidentally igniting the body fluid, instantly burned himself into a ball of fire.
And the monster that was killed by Leo is probably the one that was pumped with body fluids. It should have escaped during the riot, but it was very bad luck, and he met Leo who knew it well. .
　　However, through the battle just now, Leo had a little interest in the body fluids of this monster. This body fluid is not only more flammable than the oils commonly found in this world, but also the heat released by combustion is much higher than those oils.
　　 All the oil used in this world is extracted from the fruit of the charcoal tree. This refined vegetable oil will be processed three times to make oil for different purposes.
　　 Among them, the best processed oils will become industrial oils required by some special machines, followed by first-class smokeless oils used by nobles and rich businessmen, and the final oil-water residues will become daily oil lamps.
　　 As for the first oil that was originally extracted from plants, it was used as a mechanical lubricant because of its non-flammable properties.
However, no matter how much heavy oil is refined by scientists in this world, the ignition point of this oil is a little high, and it takes a while to fully burn, and the heat released is very general, even less than the heat of some charcoal burning .
Just like Leo just ignited the robe soaked with smokeless lamp oil in his hand, he also needs to entangle with the monster. After the oil is completely burned, it can be guaranteed that the flame will not be thrown into the monster's body. Weaken or go out.
　　 Today, the monster's body fluids display combustion characteristics very similar to those used in Leo's memory in the old earth oil age, as long as the ignition star can burn completely.
　　Even after this body fluid is burned, the released gas can be burned again, just like natural gas.
　　The emergence of oil has played a role in the evolution of science and technology in the earth age. Even Leo, a biological weapon that only knows about combat, is very clear. Once this body fluid can be mass-produced, it also represents the end of the world's steam era.
From the previous perception of the area by the Spirit Net, Leo found that the Aknaya Church also noticed the body fluids of these monsters, so they fed these monsters at no cost, let them survive, and extracted this from time to time. A body fluid in a monster.
　　 This curiosity became so intense that Leo couldn’t help but want to explore the area to see what secrets the Aknaya church, which had already deviated from the doctrine, had hidden.
　　 It's just that the problem is that the location of the area is diametrically opposed to the location where Nielsen's group left, which makes Leo somewhat difficult to choose.
　　Just as Leo was thinking about something, the monster's body was completely burned to ashes. This kind of ashes was real ashes, and there was no wreckage left.
　　Although it felt impossible to find something useful from the ashes, Leo still habitually rummage through the pile of ashes.
　　 Soon he felt that his habit was really good, because he found two things from the ashes.
　　 One of them is a pendant carved from a common stone, with the emblem of the Aknaya Church inscribed on it. Leo felt that this might be a clue, so he took it out of the ashes.
"Wait! Let me see!" Catherine, who still had this shocked expression on her face, saw Leo's stone pendant in his hand and immediately stopped him. Then he waited for Leo's response and took the stone pendant In the past, by the light of the wall lamp in his hand, he looked carefully in front of his eyes, and then he had an incredible expression, muttered, "How is it possible? How is it possible to be here?"
　　 "What is this?" Leo asked.
"When the church was first established, there was no one and no money. In order to let the church people have an identity, they found someone to make fifty badge pendants from stone. The front of the pendant is Ake Naya’s coat of arms, on the back is the name of the person and the name of the position in the church. I am the first non-native.
Catherine calmed herself down as she spoke, and took a similar stone pendant from her neck, Put it in your hand and compare the two pendants. Although there are some differences in shape, from the point of view of carving the badge, it should be from the same person.
　　 "Who is this badge pendant?" Leo Shensheng asked.
"It’s Jack Jr., who was an evangelist in the church at the time." Catherine said with a very sad expression on his face. "Jack Jr. is one of my best friends. When he died, I was In the medical school, Martin sent a letter to say that there was an accident. Apart from me, among the 50 people who originally founded the church, only he and the three brothers of Mason survived. The remaining 45 people died, and Jack Jr. was also among them. Martin said that they were all buried," she said, and she said suspiciously: "It is reasonable to say that their badges should also be buried together, how can they appear in this monster's body?"
　　 "Forty-five people?" Leo froze for a moment when he heard the number, and immediately ordered the auxiliary brain system to call up the exploration data record of the spiritual network and quickly found what he wanted.
　　 The number of monsters in the underground secret room is exactly forty-four, and the current one is forty-five.
Leo, who discovered this situation, could hardly regard it as a coincidence. According to Catherine, it was clear that when Catherine was studying abroad, Martin and the others discovered something from this underground city and encountered some things. Martin and the three The high priest survived, and the rest became monsters.
　　 At this moment, Leo suddenly thought of something, so he asked Catherine abruptly: "Miss Catherine, did your own perfume have been used before? Just before going to medical school."
　　Catherine did not understand why Leo suddenly asked such a question, but nodded and replied: "It has been used all the time. My mother passed it to me when I was very young, saying that it is the secret recipe of the family."
　　 Hearing this, Leo had a strange look on his face and looked down at the pile of ashes.
Although it was only speculation, Leo vaguely felt that the monster just rushed over to not attack them, but smelled the unique fragrance of Catherine’s body, evoking memory, and wanted to come over to find Catherine, but later he appeared and let things turn. There was a bend.
　　 Leo asked another more inexplicable question at this time, saying: "How did the Aknaya church develop before you went to medical school?"
Catherine frowned, and there were also a lot of doubts on UU's book www.uukanshu.com, but she still answered truthfully: "It's awful. At that time, there were a lot of gangsters in the cage city. For them, the emergence of them is a group of enemies divided by territory, so something often happens. Martin is also worried that the targets of the gangsters will be placed on me, so they will gather money and find a relationship to send me to the medical school to study medicine. At the time, I also felt that it would be helpful for them to learn medicine, so I agreed."
　　 Hearing this, Leo already had an answer in his mind.
　　It is not difficult to infer from Catherine's age how many years it took the church of Aknaya to develop into the church of this million.
　　According to normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the powerless and powerful young men at the bottom of the cage to complete such a feat in a short time, but the fact is that they have succeeded, and the success is perfect.
　　 So in Leo's opinion, Martin must have used some extraordinary means. For example, he found his abnormal vision-like psionic power in Catherine Clinic, and his unusual affinity for ordinary people.
　　 And these extraordinary means of getting along with psionic skills should be what they got from that so-called accident, except that some people got some luck with good luck, and some people turned out to be monsters.
Thinking of this, Leo squeezed his right hand tightly, feeling the second item in his hand that had just been found in the ashes—a bone-like object. He felt that this bone-like object might be one of the causes of the accident , So he gave the analysis command to the accessory brain system, and the quick analysis result came out, and it appeared directly in his eyes.
　　 "The remains of unknown higher species are found and can be classified as omega-class higher organisms, which are not absorbable."
