In the end, Zhang Heng did not manage to burn all the fuel in the two cylinders.
The station was almost engulfed in smoke and fire. The reinforced concrete used to build the station was not easy to burn, and since the station was abandoned before it was put into use, it was not renovated, and there were no combustibles. However, as the sperm whale was set ablaze, the situation began to change. Coupled with the snake carcasses on the ground, the fire started to burn.
At this time, most of the snakes had been killed by Zhang Heng, and there were still a few hundred that managed to escape. Basically, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. After that, the three of them retreated into a passage not far away with the T-148.
Until then, Milliped was still in a daze, as if he could not believe that the three of them had survived the snake horde. Twenty minutes ago, when he saw the swarm of snakes, he thought he was dead for sure. In the end, not only did they survive, but they also had this set of pyromaniac equipment in front of them. Now, Milliped's confidence was boosted.
Although Zhang Heng said that there was a giant snake waiting for them, Milliped believed that no matter how big the snake was, it would not be able to withstand such a brutal man-made flamethrower. As long as there was fuel in the flamethrower, they would be invincible. However, Zhang Heng, who was beside him, was not so optimistic.
Jörmungandr was not the first supernatural creature that Zhang Heng had fought. Zhang Heng did not forget the monster called Moresby when he first became the agent of the old man in the Tang suit. The latter was the totem of a tribe in Papua New Guinea called the Alkiz tribe. After the Alkiz tribe was destroyed, it was basically forgotten by the world.
However, that battle was still a close one. Even if the old man in the Tang suit borrowed a prop that looked like the Spear of Fate, he could only win by a hair's breadth. Of course, Zhang Heng was just an ordinary person back then, and he did not have as many skills and top-tier items as he did now. The old man in the Tang suit was the main attacker in that battle, and Zhang Heng was just a bystander.
After that, he encountered Zavilcha, a creature from a Slavic fairy tale. It could control and melt walls to launch attacks. Although Zhang Heng managed to find its true form and killed it with the help of the time halt, it was still a tough fight. And these were just small fries that were almost forgotten by the world.
The most powerful enemy Zhang Heng had encountered so far was Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Pestilence merely touched him, and he was immediately sent to the emergency room. His heart stopped beating for a moment. Pestilence, however, was also the most wronged of all his enemies. Until now, Zhang Heng still hadn't figured out how he managed to kill Pestilence.
However, after that incident, Zhang Heng was certain that there were some secrets hidden in his body. After the alien quest and the trip to Yonaguni Island, he had unlocked some of his powers, but it was far from the level when he fought the plague.
Zhang Heng didn't like the feeling that his fate was out of his control. And this time, the enemy he was facing wasn't a small fry. It was the Snake of Midgard, which was as famous as Pestilence. As a giant monster that appeared in the final chapter of Norse mythology, Twilight of the Gods, Jörmungandr's name was widely known. Until today, it still existed in many literary and film works.
So the next battle would not be easy. Zhang Heng didn't choose to chase after the giant snake immediately. Although he had already guessed that Cheng Sihan, who came in first, was probably in a bad situation now, and he didn't know if she was dead or alive, they were already so far behind anyway. Cheng Sihan probably wouldn't mind waiting a little longer.
Zhang Heng used this time to make some preparations, mainly to wait for the Infinite Building Block's one-hour usage time to pass. After that, he dismantled the T-148 that had turned back into a Lego brick under Milliped's completely dumbfounded gaze.
It wasn't that Zhang Heng hadn't considered using the T-148 to deal with Jörmungandr directly, or assembling some heavy weapons with greater single-point lethality, such as an RPG-29 rocket launcher, an anti-material sniper rifle, or even a portable anti-aircraft missile. In the end, however, he gave up on this somewhat tempting idea.
That was because no one knew how effective these modern weapons would be against supernatural creatures, especially against a mythical behemoth like Jörmungandr. Zhang Heng wouldn't be surprised if the giant snake's skin could withstand fire or even missile attacks.
So in the next battle, the T-148 might not be as useful as before. On the contrary, the Shrouded Sheath, Pestilence Bone Bow, and Paris Arrow would make it easier for him to deal damage.
Of course, the safer way was to launch a long-range attack on Jörmungandr with modern weapons first. If he didn't receive enough damage, he could switch to other items. However, the Infinite Building Block needed to last for an hour before it could be assembled into something else.
Zhang Heng didn't think Jörmungandr would give him so much time. As someone who had read Norse mythology, Zhang Heng was also impressed by the cause of Thor's death.
Although Jörmungandr killed Jörmungandr with his hammer in the end, Jörmungandr also died from inhaling too much poisonous gas during the battle. Zhang Heng had to be prepared for this in advance. So after some thought, he decided to put the Lego bricks together into a gas mask and put it in his travel bag. However, he didn't rush to insert the Infinite Building Block.
"How's your body now? Can you still walk? "Zhang Heng asked Fan Mei.
The latter was leaning against the wall and closing her eyes to recover the physical strength she had lost. When she heard Zhang Heng's question, she opened her eyes and nodded. However, Zhang Heng could tell that Fan Mei Nan wasn't in good physical condition.
The loss of physical strength was secondary. The three of them had been in this abandoned subway line for quite some time, and they hadn't replenished any food or water during this period. Coupled with the fire that Zhang Heng had lit earlier, the temperature in the station kept rising. Fan Mei Nan looked a little dehydrated now. In fact, it wasn't just her. Milliped's mouth was also dry and cracked.
However, Milliped's body was in better shape, and he was fine now.
"Wait for me for a while." Without waiting for Meinan's reply, he stood up and walked back to the hall on the second floor. After a while, Zhang Heng came back with a large bag of snake carcasses that had been smoked to death and hadn't been roasted.
After that, he used the remaining Lego bricks to make a bottle of mineral water, inserted it into the Infinite Building Block, and poured the water inside. If he drank the water, it would turn back into Lego bricks after an hour.
After that, Zhang Heng cut open the snake's body with a knife, took out the bile, and squeezed it into the mineral water bottle. He kept repeating this action until the mineral water bottle was filled with bile.
"Don't tell me you plan to let me drink this kind of thing." Fan Mei Nan's expression changed slightly when she saw the bottle of bile. "Although I'm thirsty, I'm not that thirsty."
"Don't worry, I'll add some seasoning for you." As he spoke, he took out a small bottle cap from his travel bag and placed it on the mineral water bottle. The next moment, a miracle happened. The suspicious-looking bottle of bile water turned into a bottle of pink soda.
"You're in luck. This time, it should be a peach flavor."
