"What can we do to break through the meat insect's defense?"
In an empty room, Li Fugui looked at the yellowed wall in front of him.
Since the last battle with the meat insect, Li Fugui has been locking himself in the room and thinking about the weakness of the meat insect, combined with the information from the battle with the meat insect.
According to Zhu Huizhi, when he turned around to run away, the meat insect also chose to run away. Although it seemed that the meat insect was not injured, the meat insect must have sensed danger to some extent, otherwise it would not have chosen to escape.
So although Li Fugui's knife did not injure the flesh worm, a blow that filled a unit of vitality must have the power to harm the flesh worm.
In other words, as long as he can make a solid cut with this knife, he can hurt the flesh insect.
But he couldn't cut the meat worm at all. No matter he used a pistol or a knife, he couldn't hurt the meat worm. The skin and internal organs of the meat worm seemed to be extremely soft, so soft that his attack had no focus at all, and all the force would be absorbed. Let go.
"Friction?"
For a long time, Li Fugui thought about this problem.
The skin of flesh worms is very slippery and flexible, which is why Li Fugui was unable to hurt the flesh worms. So is it possible to find any way to increase the friction of the flesh worms' skin?
But after thinking for a long time, Li Fugui still rejected this method.
The fleshworm's skin itself is very slippery, and nothing can stick to it, let alone increase friction.
Moreover, it seems that the meat worm can climb up the tree not by friction, because when Li Fugui fought with the meat worm, he did not see any different skin on the body of the meat worm. Naturally, there is no special skin that has friction. Give him a chance.
So what exactly is it?
Li Fugui thought hard for a long time and kept spinning in the room.
Suddenly, when he lowered his head, Li Fugui looked at the armor on his body, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
energy!
In Li Fugui's memory, these monsters that suddenly appeared in the world all carry energy in their bodies, even the awakened ones among humans. They are either fire-attributed dark energy, ice-attributed, or earth-attributed, metallic, etc. and other energies.
So bugs carry fire attribute energy on their bodies, and cloth-like creatures carry ice attribute energy on their bodies. So do meat worms carry energy of any attribute on their bodies?
Thinking of this, Li Fugui felt that everything came together.
The body of the flesh insect must carry some kind of energy, and it is most likely wood-attributed energy! And it is precisely because the body of the flesh worm is composed of wood-attribute energy that the flesh worm can shuttle between the woods without any friction. Otherwise, it cannot be explained why the flesh worm can shuttle flexibly between the woods despite its extremely smooth body.
Then everything suddenly becomes simple. The smoothness and flexibility of the flesh insect are also due to the wood energy in its body, just like the faint red protective shield on the red beetle is due to the fire energy in its body!
As long as the wood attribute energy in the body of the flesh worm can be indirectly eliminated, the tough skin of the flesh worm can be weakened to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Li Fugui began to look for ways to weaken the wood attribute energy in the flesh worms.
It would definitely not be possible to rely solely on the group of fire attribute dark warriors in the team, otherwise the fire attribute energy would be able to weaken the flesh worms during the fight, and his sword would not cause any harm to the flesh worms.
With his thoughts turning around, Li Fugui turned his attention to the armor on his body again.
Red beetles carry fire-attributed energy all over their bodies, and their flesh and blood are extremely corrosive. Can red beetles be used to deal with flesh insects?
With the direction, Li Fugui rushed to the place where the red beetle corpse was stored.
The best way to face the enemy is to understand the enemy, so Lu Lingyun's scientists have a team that studies the body structure of red beetles.
At first, I hoped to study the weak points of the red beetle's hard armor. After discovering that the red beetle had no weak points except for its exposed mouth, and did not even have a reproductive or defecation mouth, I turned to study the structure of the red beetle's body. .
However, there has really been no progress in this research. Firstly, the flesh and blood of the red beetle is extremely corrosive, and the scalpel will rot at an extremely fast speed. Secondly, the structure of the red beetle's body is really complex and extremely dangerous, and protective gear is not required. Due to the scarcity, carelessness could cause the skin to burn and lead to wound infection and death. Therefore, the project was abandoned, and all the red beetles stored in order to make room for storage were also thrown away.
Later, because of Li Fugui's needs, the superiors approved a small room for the red beetle, and the scientists who originally studied the red beetle were able to continue studying the red beetle.
"Mr. Li is here!" Seeing Li Fugui's arrival, the old scientist immediately put down the paper he was writing on and stood up.
It was a piece of manuscript paper densely packed with words and symbols. Because resources were extremely limited, the manuscript paper was concentrated on the first-tier scientists, and the manuscript papers in the hands of less popular scientists were also extremely scarce.
"Yeah." Li Fugui nodded mechanically.
In fact, Li Fugui didn't know the old man in front of him. There were too many people in this office building and he didn't have time to get to know everyone, but it didn't matter, as long as they knew him.
The old man didn't ask any more questions and quickly opened the wooden door next to him. As an old man, I am still able to study this project thanks to the young man in front of me. Moreover, it is already the end of the world, and relying on the old will only lead to death.
Upon entering, there were several red beetle corpses piled up, some of which had lost their hard beetles and exposed their red flesh.
Perhaps the red beetle still has residual fire energy in its body, which is not enough to cause the scroll to move, but it is enough to cause temperature changes. As soon as you enter the room, you can feel the heat rushing towards your face.
Li Fugui took out his long knife and began to cut into the insect corpses.
His target was the crop in the red beetle's body, which contained more corrosive acid. Although the flesh was corrosive to a certain extent, it felt that it would not have much effect on the flesh beetle.
The small city of Yandu is home to the vast majority of survivors, and edible food is extremely scarce. In order to remove the toxic components from the blood and flesh of red beetles until they are edible, the research institution in Yandu City has set up a For such a project, Li Fugui in his previous life was fortunate enough to have done the work of transporting red beetles and discarding waste products, and vaguely learned about some of the organs in the red beetle's body.
The body structure of the red beetle is no different from that of most insects. There is no hard skeleton in the body except for the hard exoskeleton. Li Fugui found the crop that stores the acid without much effort, and in order to prevent the crop from breaking The sac leaked acid. Li Fugui’s subsequent cutting was extremely careful.
The old man on the side looked at Li Fugui in shock, not only because Li Fugui's long knife was not corroded by the red beetle's highly corrosive flesh, but also because Li Fugui could accurately find the knife filled with acid. Crop, and without breaking it, it is as if countless insect corpses have been dissected.
"Mr. Li, what material is your knife made of?" The old man finally asked after the battle between heaven and man for a long time.
A material that can dissect red beetles without being corroded has a fatal temptation for him who has made a living from research. Just like a bear is born unable to resist meat and honey, even at the risk of offending the adult in front of him, he still feels like asking questions. .
When asked this question, Li Fugui also reacted.
The flesh of the red beetle is corrosive, and it seems that every time he kills the red beetle, his long knife will not be corroded even though it is stained with insect blood.
Could it be related to the vitality in his body?
Li Fugui first doubted the cultivated vitality, because every time he needed a long sword blessed with vitality to kill the red beetle, maybe the injected vitality eliminated the corrosive fire attribute when killing the red beetle. Energy, like vitality, can play a certain protective role when protecting the body.
"It's my awakened ability." Li Fugui said casually.
The main reason is that Li Fugui is too lazy to explain. This is the best way to shut up others. After all, no one understands ability, not even Li Fugui.
At this moment, Li Fugui put away his long knife and decided to pick up the crop filled with acid.
The moment his hand touched the crop, Li Fugui found that the vitality in his body was automatically mobilized out of his control and a small part was gathered in his hand to resist the remaining fire energy on the crop.
Seeing this scene, Li Fugui felt a little shocked. In the past, his vitality had to be mobilized independently to defend himself, but now his vitality seems to be able to actively defend himself when encountering danger.
In other words, as long as there is energy stored in the body, Li Fugui does not need to devote all his energy to resisting the attack from the dark!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Fugui turned around and asked, "I don't know your name, sir?"
"Don't dare, my name is Ren Wenbo." Although it was a little strange, the old man responded quickly.
"If you have any needs in the future, you can apply to Captain Lu and just say it was me, Li Fugui." Li Fugui nodded, said concisely, and then left quickly with the crop in his hand.
Although Li Fugui is vindictive and selfish, as long as others help him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he will still choose to help if he can without harming his own interests.
After all, although Li Fugui has experienced the baptism of the dark age, he is still an ordinary person at heart, just like he will never eat human flesh no matter what, even if he starves to death.
Ren Wenbo looked at Li Fugui who was leaving with a surprised look on his face. His heart was full of surprises and he was at a loss: "Do I have any distant relatives named Li?"
"I remember that I don't have any distant relatives named Li, either Jiang or Ji."
"Could it be that she is from my wife's natal family? No, no, I have to ask her carefully when I go back later. If it is, then you will be in luck!"
"..."
Li Fugui did not pay attention to Ren Wenbo, who was full of thoughts behind him. He quickly found a place to test whether the acid in the crop had lost its corrosiveness due to the passage of time.
