I Rewrite the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the Starry Skies

Chapter 246: Critical Moment (Second Update for Monthly Ticket)



"Optical invisibility means the eyes can't see it, but radar can capture the signal. Most Flying Vehicles have this function.

Radar invisibility means the eyes can see it, but radar can't capture the signal. For example, drones that can fly at low altitudes can bypass radar searches, but they can't avoid people's eyes.

And some high-performance fighter jets can achieve both optical and radar invisibility, making them truly stealth fighters.

But to achieve this effect, there are special requirements not only for building materials, but also for the various performance indicators of the equipment.

In terms of cost, it is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.

Even among the Four Great Noble Families, only two Nobles own a large "Flying Vehicle" that can simultaneously achieve optical and radar invisibility.

And Xia Chujian, in the process of gradually exploring and getting used to it, discovered that her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha can freely choose two invisibility modes.

Optical invisibility, radar invisibility, or both at the same time.

This time, Xia Chujian chose to do both without hesitation.

Simultaneous invisibility requires more energy and lasts for a shorter time, but Xia Chujian didn't care how much energy it would use at this time, she just wanted to fly freely and as she pleased in the sky.

She swept between buildings, unable to be captured by any eyes or surveillance.

She even flew to the next residential area and found the house that Ping Qiong had bought.

Xia Chujian stopped at the window and watched for a while, but it was dark inside and she couldn't see very clearly.

She turned on the infrared perspective system on her helmet visor and found that the house was still the same as the day she and Ping Qiong looked at it.

It hasn't been renovated yet...

She flew to the North Side, outside Mulan City, wanting to see her land.

With the speed of her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, it was just a matter of minutes.

Ten minutes later, she floated high above the wall, taking a deep breath.

Then, she flew around her land again, not feeling anything unusual, before leisurely flying back.

On the way back, she slowed down, wanting to enjoy the fresh air under the night sky more.

Mulan City at night is actually not peaceful.

In the dark corners of the streets, all kinds of crimes are being staged.

Xia Chujian was expressionless, dealing with three robbers, two murderers who were in the act of killing, and a man with bad intentions, because he was holding a wet handkerchief and was following a woman who was returning home from a night shift.

Just as the man was about to cover the woman's face with the wet handkerchief from behind, Xia Chujian kicked him flying into the sky.

As for how he eventually fell, and where he fell, that was none of her business.

The woman seemed to sense something, looked back in horror, and then ran even faster.

Ahead, after her family met her, Xia Chujian quietly left.

By the time Xia Chujian returned home again, it was already three in the morning.

The early summer wind gently brushed her helmet.

Xia Chujian flew in lightly and skillfully through the window.

Before she had time to retract her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, she suddenly heard Liu Shun say at the door: "Master, the big black dog across the hall is acting strange, it's already banging on the door."

Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat.

She took a deep breath, didn't retract her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, and directly pulled out a set of khaki overalls from the closet, put them on over the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, and then came out of the bedroom.

Liu Shun was stunned when it saw Xia Chujian's Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha helmet.

Its eyes glowed red, and after a while, it confirmed that the person wearing the helmet in front of it was its master.

Xia Chujian didn't have time to hide her helmet from Liu Shun at this time, because this time, she didn't need to listen carefully to hear the movement across the hall.

At this time, the big black dog was not just barking, but was really banging on the door! No matter how soundproof the renovation across the hall was, it couldn't block this kind of physical movement.

Xia Chujian had an ominous premonition in her heart.

She rushed to the living room and opened the door.

The door across the hall was indeed being slammed by the big black dog, shaking it.

Xia Chujian immediately activated the far-infrared night vision system function of the Shao Siming helmet's built-in goggles.

This function allowed the helmet goggles to see through the scene behind the wall through a far-infrared imaging system.

After turning it on, she found that she could only see the location of the entrance hall behind the door.

Beyond the entrance hall, the far-infrared perspective function was useless.

Within the entrance hall, the scene of the big black dog desperately hitting the door from behind appeared on the display screen of her helmet goggles.

Xia Chujian immediately clenched her palm into a fist, knocked on the door lock, and said loudly, "Open the door, you can open the lock from here."

The big black dog inside heard it, and the banging sound seemed to stop for a while. Then, as if it understood Xia Chujian's meaning, it began to stand upright on its two hind legs, and its two front paws held the position of the doorknob.

Before long, with a click, the door was really opened by the big black dog! It rushed out all at once. Xia Chujian quickly stepped aside, otherwise she would have been hit by the big black dog.

But the big black dog didn't hide when it saw her like before, but instead barked at her even more miserably.

It was as if some unpredictable great terror was about to descend.

Xia Chujian knew that some animals had a strange premonition about natural disasters.

Could it be that this big black dog sensed some natural disaster?

The first thing Xia Chujian thought of was an earthquake.

Then she thought of her own Small Dog, how could it not feel anything? While Xia Chujian was thinking wildly, she looked towards the house.

With such a loud noise, no one from the opposite door came to answer, not even a reprimand to the big black dog.

This was not right.

Xia Chujian began to walk inside, tentatively calling out, "Wang You! Yu Wangyou! Mr. Yu! Mrs. Yu! Are you home?"

She called out a few times before remembering that she was still wearing the Shao Siming Mecha helmet, and it would be difficult to explain if the Yu family saw it.

But just as she was about to put the helmet away, a few lines of subtitles suddenly appeared on the helmet's eye display screen.

"Ultra-high dose of Teflon Alkane detected in the air."

"Removing the helmet will cause unconsciousness within three minutes."

"It is recommended not to remove the helmet."

Xia Chujian: "!!!"

There was an overdose of Teflon Alkane in the air?!

Xia Chujian's chemistry grades were okay, and she vaguely remembered that Teflon Alkane was a volatile gas that could cause people to faint.

Since the mecha's intelligent system said there was an ultra-high dose, then there must be an ultra-high dose! Then the people of the Yu family...

Xia Chujian immediately stopped, and then a few more lines appeared on the helmet's eye display screen.

"Increasingly dense methane components detected in the air!"

"Danger! Danger! Danger!"

"Please leave the scene immediately! Please leave the scene immediately! Please leave the scene immediately!"

Methane?! With her passable chemistry knowledge, Xia Chujian knew that this was the main component of natural gas.

What was going on tonight?

Was this a concentrated test of chemistry knowledge? Xia Chujian muttered, feeling suspicious and uncertain.

Because their building was an old building, it only had a very old natural gas pipeline system, which was everyone's main energy source besides electricity.

For example, in Xia Chujian's home, Xia Yuanfang liked to cook with an open flame and didn't like to use an induction cooker, so their home also had natural gas.

And natural gas had a characteristic: when its concentration in the air reached five percent, it would explode when it encountered an open flame...

Xia Chujian's face changed drastically. As she quickly bypassed the entrance hall and walked to the entrance of the Yu family's living room, the warning prompts on the helmet display screen became more and more dense.

"Methane component in the air is gradually increasing."

"Will reach the critical point in ten minutes."

"Please leave the scene immediately! Please leave the scene immediately! Please leave the scene immediately!"

Xia Chujian was already standing at the entrance of the Yu family's living room, staring blankly at the scene.

Yu Wangyou was sitting on the living room sofa, facing the entrance.

Her eyes were open, her face still held that bitter and resentful expression, a trace of black blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and a glass bottle lay overturned beside her.

Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu were lying motionless on the floor in front of her sofa, long since devoid of life.

And that particularly imposing nanny was lying on her back near the French windows, seemingly trying to escape, but failing.

In the blink of an eye, the big black dog turned back again, desperately nudging Xia Chujian with its head, trying to push her out.

And the Shao Siming Mecha helmet's visor display was counting down.

"Eight minutes to critical point."

Xia Chujian's heart lurched. She quickly stepped back, no longer caring about the Yu family's situation, waved away the big black dog, turned and dashed back to her own home.

She rushed into Xia Yuanfang's bedroom and said urgently, "Aunt! Aunt! Wake up! Wake up! It's not safe here! We need to escape!"

But Xia Yuanfang was sleeping soundly, unable to hear Xia Chujian's calls.

Xia Chujian immediately felt something was wrong.

She rushed to Xia Yuanfang's bedside, tested her breathing, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found it was still shallow.

But no matter how she pushed and shoved, Xia Yuanfang just wouldn't wake up.

At this point, what didn't Xia Chujian understand? Her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha's eye display had warned her about the Teflon Alkane content in the air, and it wasn't just in the Yu family's house!

Xia Yuanfang had also fallen unconscious...

Xia Chujian was anxious and made a decisive decision, saying to Liu Shun, who was standing at the door of Xia Yuanfang's bedroom, "Liu Shun, immediately pick up my aunt, wrap her in a blanket, and carry her out with me."

Then she picked up the motionless Wu Fu beside Xia Yuanfang, bent down to scoop up Si Xi from the small doghouse, rushed back to her bedroom, dragged out her gun case from under the bed, stuffed the property deed and land deed into the gun case, and slung it on her back.

Three minutes later, Xia Chujian, with the gun case on her back, Wu Fu in her arms, and Si Xi tucked under her arm, clattered out of the house.

Liu Shun's mechanical arms carried Xia Yuanfang, wrapped in a blanket, and slid out the door behind Xia Chujian.

It didn't forget to close the door tightly as it left.

Xia Chujian ran to the elevator and glanced at the two elevators.

She chose the newly installed elevator in the building.

The quality of this elevator was much better than the old one, and it was very fast, only stopping on the first floor and the top floor, making it an elevator exclusively for their top floor.

After she entered, Liu Shun also slid in with Xia Yuanfang wrapped in the blanket, supported by its two mechanical arms.

And the big black dog, which had been circling in front of the elevator door, also tucked its tail and followed in.

It didn't dare to approach Xia Chujian and Liu Shun, but hid in the corner on the other side of the elevator.

Xia Chujian thought of its warning just now and didn't chase it out, then pressed the button to go to the first floor.

At this time, the countdown on the helmet visor was only one minute.

The elevator descended rapidly.

But the speed was still not fast enough.

The sound of the explosion was like a giant wave at sea, rolling in.

The shockwave struck through the entire building from top to bottom.

A raging fire started from the top floor, black smoke billowed, and flames soared into the sky.

From the outside, the building looked like a giant torch.

Just as the elevator descended to the third floor, the deafening explosion from the top floor had traveled all the way down, like a life-threatening specter, rushing straight towards them!

Listening to the series of loud noises coming from upstairs, Xia Chujian's mind quickly flashed through various thoughts, calculating how to save herself.

At this moment, the elevator had just descended to the third floor and needed three more seconds to reach the first floor.

But the explosion was too swift, and they probably wouldn't have time to escape after reaching the first floor...

Xia Chujian regretted taking the elevator a little, but if they didn't take the elevator, the explosion from above would probably bury them directly in the stairwell.

Xia Chujian no longer hesitated, turned around, arched her body, put it on Liu Shun's cylindrical shoulder, and hugged Liu Shun together, like setting up a small tent, covering the unconscious Xia Yuanfang, Si Xi, and Wu Fu in this small tent.

It's the end of the month, my darlings, cast your Hongxiu Tickets and Monthly Tickets!

And Recommendation Tickets too!

There will be a new update at 12:05 tonight.
