After the explosion, the out-of-control propulsion engine finally ended its madness. The main part of the engine was blown up with a big hole. The propulsion nozzle and a long section of components even fell off the engine and were pushed into the endless distant space by the force of the explosion. Whether the other parts of the engine were still running or not, it could no longer produce any thrust anyway.
As the main engine shut down, the other equipment around it also quieted down. Hao Ren saw that other places on the outer edge of the floating island were bursting with different intensity of fire. It was the remaining normal propulsion engine trying to adjust the island's attitude and recover from the previous crazy tumble. The crisis was finally over.
Y 'zaks dispersed his demonic power and looked relaxed. "I haven't been so nervous for a long time. It reminds me of the war in my hometown."
The two flew to the floating island. There was a huge crack left after the engine exploded. The place was beyond recognition. It took Hao Ren a long time to find the way back from the twisted metal debris and a large cloud of hot dust. Only half of the maintenance area was left, but fortunately, the force of the explosion stopped there. The maintenance passage and the gates behind the maintenance area were not affected. The elven body placed near the second gate was also not affected. Hao Ren brought the body back to the surface.
The artificial gravity in this area seemed to have recovered a little. Although it was still uncomfortable, at least they could walk normally.
A large group of people had gathered outside the exit. Except for the magicians who were still maintaining the closure of the crack, almost all the elves who were involved in the rescue had gathered around. As soon as Hao Ren appeared, he was shocked by the crowd in front of him. But he still put the body on his shoulder on the ground first. "I found a victim …"
The elves quieted down. A wounded man with a bandaged arm squeezed through the crowd to identify the body and sighed. "It really is Angleton. He was trapped in the maintenance room at the bottom when the explosion happened … But fortunately, his body was brought out in one piece. Thank you."
Hao Ren did not know how to accept the gratitude. At this time, two elves squeezed through the crowd. They were two female elves who looked slightly different in age. Their wrists and arms were bandaged, and their faces were bloodstained. Obviously, they were also wounded in the previous explosion. The two elves threw themselves at Angleton's body, crying in a low voice. Someone explained that they were Angleton's wife and daughter. The family of three worked in this unit and had recently moved to this city. Their new life had not yet begun, but it ended abruptly because of an accident.
The older female elf recovered faster. She wiped the tears on her face and looked up at Hao Ren with a grateful expression. Then she gently patted her daughter on the back. "Mana, when you go back, tell the ration chief that you will receive rations for two people from now on."
Hao Ren remembered a similar joke on Earth, but now he felt that the joke was not funny at all!
Perhaps after living like this for too long, certain things had been engraved in the elves' bones. The death of their loved ones made them sad, but at the same time, the first thing they would think of was to reduce the rations. This was a habit that could only be distorted by thousands of years of high-pressure life. Humans who were born on Earth with abundant resources could hardly imagine all this. Lily and Vivian, who were helping to treat the wounded or clean up the collapsed buildings due to the explosion, ran over. They had seen many deaths in their lives, but they were still a little emotional when they saw the scene in front of them. The voice of the MDT rang in Hao Ren's mind. "If only there was a priest of the Goddess of Life, or a universal resurrection device, people like this who died within a few hours could be resurrected …"
Just when Hao Ren was about to say something, Vivian suddenly hesitated and said, "Maybe I can try?"
"How?" Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.
"The body looks intact," Vivian said with a lack of confidence. "I don't know if my blood will work … Anyway, the success rate when I used it to save people was only one in five. I seem to be different from the other Blood Clan in this aspect …"
"Let's try it first," Hao Ren quickly pushed Vivian forward and encouraged the unconfident vampire. "It can't get any worse, right?"
Vivian politely asked the grieving mother and daughter to step aside. As they looked on in confusion, Vivian drew a complicated rune on the chest of the dead elf with the blood mist. The rune slowly seeped into the body, and at the same time, Vivian's nails rapidly grew until they became as sharp as a bayonet. She waited until the blood mist had completely seeped into the body, then she whispered something and pierced her nails into the heart of the dead elf without hesitation!
Hao Ren heard her chanting, "Buddha Guanyin, Jesus Mary 12345, please bless me, don't stab it in the wrong direction …"
Suddenly, he knew what the one-in-five success rate was all about. Just based on this prayer alone, the gods in heaven would have to fight for half an hour before they could determine who would come to help. This time, she had added an unreliable fairy to the mix. Perhaps it would have been better if she had not said that!
But this time, Raven 12345 seemed to have really manifested. Not long after the spell was completed, the dead elf's body suddenly trembled, and then he opened his eyes with a strange stiffness.
The surrounding elves were in an uproar, and the mother and daughter were completely stunned. Before the situation became chaotic, Hao Ren dragged Vivian and Lily away from the crowd. He looked back at the chaotic scene with a little worry. "Say, you turned him into a vampire? Why is the process different from what I imagined? I thought you were going to bite him … "
"That's the method of turning low-level Blood Slaves." Vivian waved her hand. "From the perspective of the Blood Clan, it's food processing. It's similar to dipping sauce when eating. Although it's simple, the consciousness of a Blood Slave is fragmented, and it can only follow the orders of the Blood Clan. I used a more advanced method of transformation. "
Lily frowned. "Since he's already a vampire, will he need to drink blood to survive? There's only one vampire like you who can eat normally … "
"No, I've tested it before. I'm not sure if it's because of my special bloodline, but the people I saved are a little afraid of light, but they're just like ordinary people. They'll occasionally have the urge to drink blood, but it's easy to control, and they can survive on normal food." Vivian frowned. "I don't know why, but my conversion success rate is only one-in-five. It doesn't matter if I use it on the living or the dead. The success rate of other Blood Clan descendants is 100% when they convert high-level descendants. And the people I convert are completely ordinary humans, without any special abilities. "
Hao Ren replied casually, "Let 12345 check you out when there's time. There must be something wrong with your body …"
Just then, a flying car suddenly flew from the direction of the city and stopped in front of them. A familiar elf jumped out of the flying car: Hilda's only son, Vimm. The elf bowed to Hao Ren and said, "Mother sent me to pick you up. She's waiting for you at the spire in the Royal District."
Hao Ren then remembered it was time to go back. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Oh, yes, we still have to discuss business with Hilda. By the way, the MDT … "
He looked back at the scene of the breach. The MDT was still lying in the middle of the temporary charging equipment. The dome of the floating island was emitting a uniform and soft light with the MDT's power supply. Obviously, the MDT would not leave for a while.
"Go do what you need to do," the MDT's voice came from afar. "When the elves are done with the backup energy pool, I'll go find you myself … Damn it, don't die from exhaustion …"
Hao Ren quickly boarded the flying car and left the b * tch at the scene.
The flying car flew over the city. Through the windows on both sides of the car, they could see the aftermath of the disaster below.
Although the tumbling of the floating island was stopped in time, the earthquake had caused great damage to the fragile city on the floating island. Collapsed buildings and bridges could be seen everywhere in the city. In the more open areas, there was a huge crack in the ground. In some of the cracks, they could even see the mechanical structure and complex pipes under the city. The floating island built by the Aerymian elves was like a giant living creature. It was covered with an energy transmission network like blood vessels, and the solid ground carried the city. Now that the outer shell of the island had cracked, the complex structure below was exposed like internal organs. It was a shocking sight.
A large number of flying cars were leaving the Royal District in the center of the island. There were also groups of people on the ground. They were the Aerymian civilians who had taken emergency shelter. Now that the biggest crisis had passed, they had to immediately return to work, rebuild their homes, resume production, and repair the land and the equipment under the land. They had no time to rest. This fragile country had to be maintained and repaired continuously to survive.
The spire of the Royal District appeared in front of the flying car.
