Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 305: For Your Majesty (120)

Dragon Raja 5

Bunin leaned against the bar, silently smoking his pipe, while his attendants cleaned the bloodstains from the stalls. The customers dispersed, and they would have to wait until the snow in front of the door was cleared.

This group of people was so strange; they desperately wanted to prolong their lives, yet they were indifferent to death. They were vibrant, yet numb; young, yet old.

Lu Mingfei walked to Bunin’s side. He was Bunin’s agent now, a fact that many people probably already knew, so there was no need to hide it.

“You probably already know the truth,” Bunin said in a low voice.

If I’m not mistaken, you and I are considered young people here. In your restaurant in Moscow, there were many portraits of old men; the old guys in those portraits are the people drinking with us now, not descendants. Your goods have made them young again.

That’s right. Leeches aren’t anything special; they’re just small creatures with a blood-sucking nature. Their special serum is stored inside their bodies and doesn’t spoil quickly. When they suck blood again, the serum is injected back into the target’s bloodstream.

So it’s not some kind of time-storing jar, it’s just a super serum, the serum extracted from that black snake.

That research institute that studies God, it wasn’t actually destroyed. The technology for creating the super serum came from that institute, and my boss knew about it.

So you want to find that research institute?

“Isn’t that right? A hugely profitable opportunity. Now we have to spend a fortune on these life-extending serums, serving our boss like slaves. If I could find that research institute, ruling the world wouldn’t be so difficult.” Bunin sighed softly, but after what happened today, ruling the world didn’t seem like such a pleasant prospect. “Thank you for your help. Christina can see the contents of the box, but I still need to keep them. I’ll arrange for a hovercraft to take you to your designated location.”

Bunin’s chosen mode of transportation was a hovercraft, which was indeed the best way to travel on the vast snowfield. Unlike airplanes, it did not have the same takeoff conditions, and it was not as fragile as snowmobiles.

Lu Mingfei suddenly became alert. He heard an unusual wind outside, like a hovercraft whistling through the snowfield.

Bunin suddenly stood up, an expression of disbelief in his eyes, “Someone…someone activated the magnetic field!”

At this moment, the sound that initially resembled “wind” became clearer, sounding more like some giant piece of equipment in operation.

Bunin rushed to the window, lifted the curtains and looked out. The circular building they were in was lighting up with red lights one by one. If viewed from the sky, the dense red lights would form a concentric circle structure.

Lu Mingfei then remembered what Bunin had said: the purpose of building City 023 was to achieve controlled nuclear fusion under a strong magnetic field. Its core was a groundbreaking super-strong magnetic field, which was the building they were in at the moment.

At this moment, the silver stirrer in the cup in front of him began to vibrate, and every piece of silverware in the room was shaking, creating a tinkling sound everywhere. The necklaces around the ladies’ necks also floated up, and the men’s crest rings emitted a tingling electric sensation.

What Bunin saw was even more terrifying: the snowplows outside, though belching black smoke and roaring loudly, were being dragged toward their doorway by some unseen force.

Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded. He tried hard to recall the electromagnetic theory he had learned in high school: the rotation of electric charges forms an electromagnetic field, which propagates outward in the form of light, that was, electromagnetic waves, and its changes are determined by Maxwell’s equations… Damn it, all this bullshit knowledge was useless; he couldn’t even remember Maxwell’s equations. That long-abandoned super magnetic field probably didn’t wake up on its own; someone had activated it. At this moment, the invisible but incredibly powerful electromagnetic field swept through every street like a raging tide, penetrating apartment buildings and any obstacles. Unless they hid behind a barrier made of highly antimagnetic material, they would inevitably be partially magnetized, and even their blood and nerve currents would be disrupted.

The magnetic field was incredibly strong. Silver is a highly antimagnetic material, but even trace impurities in silver tableware were magnetized.

Almost simultaneously, the snowplow outside seemed to be grabbed by an unseen hand and slammed into the building’s exterior wall, embedding itself and completely destroying the entrance. The weapons at the attendants’ waists, due to their high ferromagnetic content, were instantly attracted and stuck to the wall like darts. Many of the guests also carried self-defense weapons, from folding knives to pistols, all seemingly ready to be used, no matter where they were hidden. One lady even carried a hand grenade, which Chu Zihang caught with lightning speed and quickly disarmed.

A wave of intense dizziness followed, throwing the body’s bioelectricity into chaos and altering the osmotic pressure between cell membranes. Some people immediately crouched down, vomiting violently. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang also experienced splitting headaches.

“We have to get out of here!” Bunin roared. “We can’t stay in the center of the magnetic field without protective clothing!”

“Someone’s trying to start the nuclear reactor?” Lu Mingfei yelled at him. “Was it you?”

They weren’t actually in a very noisy environment, but the tinnitus and auditory hallucinations became more and more obvious, along with visual hallucinations. Everything in front of them was blurry and distorted, and all objects had a distorted colored halo.

“No need! The strong magnetic field alone could kill us!” Bunin said with a wry smile. “If I had done it, why would I have brought Christina here?” What bothers him most is that girls occasionally speak softly to him, but he can’t tell if it’s Nono or Erii. It’s as if he’s back in that deep water, but is it the Sea of ​​Japan? Or the Three Gorges Dam?

He hadn’t worried about these things for a long time. He had let go of Nuonuo as a burden and went far away alone, his heart clear. The internet, like a dog, had followed him all the way.

Some of the guests laughed wildly, while others wept bitterly, but a few with strong minds were able to fight against the hallucinations.

Zero was also in very poor condition. Her face was deathly pale, and Lu Mingfei had never seen so many emotions in her eyes—sometimes bewildered, sometimes sorrowful, tears streaming down her face like a surging tide. In this incredibly strong electromagnetic field, the gap between hybrids and ordinary people was narrowed. Dragon blood could grant superhuman strength and the power of words, but it couldn’t make your heart strong either. Lu Mingfei understood that Zero’s past wasn’t so simple, but he hadn’t expected this princess to act like a homeless orphan. He rushed forward and hugged Zero, feeling her trembling violently.

Chu Zihang, on the other hand, seemed to be fine. Logically speaking, he was still a high school student and, apart from his father, didn’t have much of a troublesome past.
