Chapter 484: Chapter 485: A Word That Awakens the Drear! Chapter 484: Chapter 485: A Word That Awakens the Drear! Qi Yue interrogated the black-clad man retrieved from underwater throughout the night, yet the result was disappointing.
The underwater man clad in black seed incapable of speech and his ears were deaf as well.
No matter what was asked, he had no reaction whatsoever.
Upon examination, it was found that his tongue had been purposefully cut off.
Even his deafness was induced by drugs.
When Hei Lie tried to communicate with him by writing, he did finally react.
But he just kept shaking his head, constantly shaking his head.
——Turns out he was illiterate!
Fortunately, the garnt worn by the black-clad man did not disappoint Qi Yue.
This garnt appeared to be made from so kind of underwater creature and indeed possessed certain characteristics of a diving suit.
Although the color was blackish gray, it was transparent when viewed from the inside out.
Truly miraculous.
Qi Yue had conducted experints; after a period underwater, one could last another ten minutes just by changing air.
If it was a well-trained sailor, extending it to fifteen minutes was also possible.
This also indirectly confird why those people would occasionally surface to breathe.
The item was valuable, but it probably didn’t co from another world.
Once assured of this, Qi Yue felt much relieved.
She tossed the garnt to her assistant for research to see if there were any flaws to uncover.
Afterward, they discussed the items buried underwater by those people, unanimously agreeing that this was the matter to tackle first!
“Yueyue, how about I make a trip down there, dig that thing out, and we’ll know once we look…”
Before he could finish, Qi Yue interrupted him.
“No. You did the right thing by not rashly touching it this ti. Although I don’t know what that thing is, it’s definitely not sothing simple. Otherwise, Shen Gong wouldn’t have ordered it handled with such tension! We absolutely must find another way for this!”
At this point, a nagging doubt uncontrollably rose in Qi Yue’s heart.
“…It can’t possibly be a bomb, right? If it really were a bomb, things would again beco inexplicable. How did he manage that? How to waterproof it? How to detonate it?”
Zhao Xiyan’s beautiful brows and eyes had been knotted all this ti, but suddenly relaxed.
“Could it be sothing similar to a bomb? Or sothing that can achieve the sa effect?!”
“The sa effect?” Qi Yue’s heart sank!
The physical chemistry knowledge she learned in the past flashed through her mind instantaneously.
She dismissed several options as too complex and impossible to achieve, then ruled out a few others that weren’t usable underwater, leaving only one possibility.
“——Could it really be so?!”
Qi Yue instinctively stood up and began pacing back and forth on the floor.
This was her old habit; she always needed to walk a few steps to feel steady whenever she had to do intense calculation and thinking.
“Could it be that Gensheng was dealt a Deathblade by Shen Gong because he overheard crucial information? But how could they do it? How is it possible?”
Qi Yue simply couldn’t believe her speculation could be true, no matter what.
In her eyes, this world clearly lacked the capability to extract sodium elent from seawater.
But after linking all the events together several tis over, she kept arriving at the sa conclusion.
——Shen Gong had discovered the secret that sodium elent would explode upon contact with water and had spent decades successfully extracting the sodium elent, planning to use it against the Longnan County Governnt.
The explosive power of sodium elent in water is enormous, not at all inferior to the Small Fragrant lon in her hand.
If a certain amount of sodium elent could be gathered and detonated simultaneously at the seabed by so ans, it could trigger a tsunami!
The terrain of the Longnan County Governnt is low-lying, and Gemidu Bay that surrounds it is shaped like an inverted triangle.
Once a tsunami occurs, colossal waves would directly engulf over a dozen towns surrounding the Longnan County Governnt and sweep inland, destroying the Longnan County Governnt as well.
What’s more terrifying is that Longnan County Governnt has abundant water sources. Once the sea overflows, the Feng River outside the city and the Dayuan River that runs through it will undoubtedly flood.
By then, it wouldn’t just be the Longnan County Governnt suffering the disaster.
The neighboring Dengzhou, Yonghe State Governnt, and Hexia City would all be struck by the calamity!
Dozens of villages and towns and several large state governnts, the population combined would amount to at least two or three million!
…
As soone who had witnessed the ferocity of a tsunami in the modern world, Qi Yue dared not imagine any further!
“Yueyue, what have you thought of?” Zhao Xiyan tily spoke up.
“I thought of sothing terrifying, but I don’t think Shengong could achieve it.”
Qi Yue hesitated before sharing her thoughts.
“Although there are so magical things in this world, the success of this matter cannot be separated from extensive modern knowledge. Otherwise, with their bit-by-bit trial and error, not to ntion ten or more years, even several decades wouldn’t suffice… unless there is soone among them who is also a ti traveler.”
At this point, Qi Yue couldn’t help but start pacing again.
“…But if there really is a ti traveler, why not make explosives instead! The materials are simpler and easier to accomplish! There’s no sense in neglecting what’s easy and attempting what’s difficult! Take for example, without relying on any extraworldly technologies or capabilities, it would also be very difficult to achieve this…”
Zhao Xiyan listened to her and his expression grew intense.
“Yueyue, let’s not consider whether Shengong can accomplish this task for now, let’s think about the matter itself, whether it is sothing Shengong might want.”
Qi Yue didn’t even have to think before nodding emphatically.
“Of course, Shengong wants to oppose us, he wants to see us driven to despair, living beings reduced to ashes, corpses everywhere is naturally what he wants… and it also fits his tyrannical nature…”
At this point, she suddenly rembered sothing.
“…Husband, I rember you ntioned before that after Shengong mastered Deathblade, he annihilated the Huangfu family while Huangfu Nan was away, didn’t he?!”
“Right,” Zhao Xiyan nodded, “that’s what happened. After I beca a disciple of Huangfu Nan, I heard him ntioning it by chance.”
Hearing this, Qi Yue felt that sothing was not quite right.
“Have you verified it since then?”
Zhao Xiyan nodded, “I checked many local records, and there’s only bits and pieces, not much different from what Huangfu Nan said.”
Seeing that Qi Yue remained frowning in thought, Zhao Xiyan was struck by an idea.
“Do you feel there is sothing not right, Yueyue?”
Qi Yue pursed her lips.
“I don’t know, but I feel sothing is off. Husband, think about it, this incident happened decades ago, the truth is unknown, all based on Huangfu Nan’s words, and those local records are probably compiled according to what he said… But don’t you find it strange? Soone like Huangfu Nan, he just lets his family’s sworn enemy go unchecked, enjoying his later years in the Liu Family’s backyard, living in the sa city as his enemy, it all seems a bit off…”
A single sentence awakens the drear!
Zhao Xiyan’s fingers gripping the teacup unconsciously tightened.
Insiders are blind, bystanders see clearly!
A terrifying suspicion suddenly rose in his heart.
Still, he managed to keep his composure, not letting it show on his face.
“What Yueyue said makes sense… but we were discussing Shengong, weren’t we?!”
