Chapter 185 What to do with the dead?
It's strange, why can a water truck hold all this liquid, but something made of the same material as a water truck can't?
Everyone was confused.
Long Xiaoxiao noticed something amiss. She leaned closer and examined the inside of the sprinkler truck before realizing what was going on.
Those people attached a layer of dark energy to the inner wall, forming a protective barrier that prevented the liquid from corroding it. However, as time passed and the wall of the vehicle broke, the liquid was able to escape.
Long Xiaoyu simply had the system put this thing into the system space.
The system did as instructed, and all the liquid remaining in the sprinkler truck suddenly disappeared. The crowd, who had been standing around the truck pondering what to do, froze and looked up at Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao flicked her tail and explained, "I've put it away. Let's go back."
Everyone understood, and Rongming then ordered them to return to Xingyin Mountain.
The effects of these liquids are obvious, but what puzzled Rongming and others was why no accident occurred immediately when the water truck first crossed the river bridge last night.
After all, water trucks drive alongside many other vehicles, and given the intensity of liquid corrosion they can see, those vehicles that crossed the river bridge last night should have corroded on the spot.
Just as the bewildered group returned to Xingyin Mountain, they received some unexpected news.
Many vehicles that drove across the bridge last night suddenly rotted into piles of black, unidentified matter today. Fortunately, no drivers happened to be driving on the road at that time.
These paranormal events were quickly reported online, and netizens pieced together the commonalities among the vehicles based on the information, immediately linking them to the collapse of the cross-river bridge.
"Holy crap...that feels so scary."
"I feel like we might have really wronged the construction company."
"Yes, so what exactly is it made of?"
"And what substance could corrode a bridge to the point that it would break the very next day? I can't think of anything."
"These cars were on the cross-river bridge last night, and they only broke down today. Could it be some kind of paranormal event?"
"Huh? Are ghosts and monsters this powerful now?"
"No way..."
"Since even the Azure Dragon God has made his appearance, I think it's very likely that it's one of those supernatural beings."
"What god could possibly defeat the Azure Dragon God?"
"What if."
"The Azure Dragon God is the number one god!!"
"..."
The discussion got increasingly absurd, with netizens even starting to discuss which gods, if they truly existed, could possibly defeat the Azure Dragon God.
After discussion, everyone finally came to a conclusion: no one can compare to the Azure Dragon God.
Although this conclusion is highly subjective, it is surprisingly widely accepted.
The system was still figuring out what equipment to use to analyze the substances in these liquids when it noticed that its faith value had suddenly surged. After a few seconds of stunned silence, it scanned the database and saw the posts from netizens.
Many people have even created a unique system of gods and written fan fiction about battles between gods, which has made the system quite excited.
The system didn't focus on that for long before quickly shifting its attention to the system shop. It had just tried the old, broken material analyzer, and the liquid turned into a mess as soon as it was put in. After thinking it over, the system decided to try buying a new item from the shop.
Logically, the latest batch of systems should be able to be equipped with a set of material analysis equipment, but since the systems are old and outdated, headquarters is not kind enough to specially modify the old systems.
The system resentfully vowed to apply for modifications once it returned to headquarters.
Long Xiaoxiao was unaware of the system's wild ideas at this moment. She was obediently lying on the soft cushion, waiting for the system to give her the result.
Once the system provides the analysis of these substances, Long Xiaoxiao plans to ask the system to provide some relevant defense strategies so that she can explain them to the public.
After the system spent a large sum of money to purchase the latest generation of material analyzers from the interstellar world, it put the liquid into them and soon provided a response.
As the system anticipated, these liquids were extremely corrosive, but unlike sulfuric acid, they could even corrode glass. The only thing that could control these substances was the special bottle from the interstellar world.
In short, these things are clearly what those time-traveling fugitives used to wreak havoc on this world.
Even the system couldn't help but curse its bad luck.
Why did they have to be the ones targeted?
The system informed Long Xiaoxiao of the analysis results, and Long Xiaoxiao nodded in confusion before relaying them to Rong Ming.
The system also printed out a research report and analysis results, which Long Xiaoxiao gave to Rong Ming and others. The official statement was then immediately released.
Since Long Xiaoxiao informed them of all this information, the official announcements all mentioned Long Xiaoxiao's name and released the video of the liquid corroding the ground that they had filmed that day.
This completely cleared You Ruyu and the others of their crimes, and You Ruyu was released without incident.
On the day they were sent away, Yuan Wang took You Huai to pick up You Ruyu.
You Ruyu was escorted to the door. Having been locked up for several days, she looked slightly tired. The staff member who brought her out shook hands with You Ruyu apologetically and said goodbye: "I'm sorry, Ms. You, thank you for your trouble these past few days."
You Ruyu waved her hand without saying anything more.
Yuan Wang stepped forward to take the bag from You Ruyu's hand and led her into the car. You Huai couldn't wait to rush into her mother's arms, and the mother and daughter snuggled together affectionately for a while.
Once in the car, Yuan Wang slowly started the engine and recounted all the recent events to You Ruyu.
The name of the Azure Dragon God was woven throughout the conversation, and You Ruyu listened intently. After Yuan Wang finished speaking, she suddenly spoke up, "Little Xiao..."
Yuan Wang chimed in, "He hasn't come back."
After saying this, Yuan Wang's eyes met You Ruyu's in the rearview mirror, and they both knew what the other was thinking.
After a long pause, You Ruyu suddenly felt that her idea was too absolute. She hesitated and said, "Could it just be a coincidence? The Azure Dragon God is a benevolent god..."
As she finished speaking, You Ruyu became increasingly less confident.
Yuan Wang chuckled lightly, his tone nonchalant: "Whatever, no matter who it is or what, Xiao Xiao is still Xiao Xiao."
These words reassured You Ruyu, who nodded with a smile and said with emotion, "That's true."
Inside Xingyin Mountain, Long Xiaoxiao learned that Rong Ming had already announced the news to the outside world.
"What about the dead?" Long Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, her tone serious.
Rong Ming was stunned, wondering why Long Xiaoxiao suddenly brought this up.
"Well... because we can't find the organization responsible for the incident, we will use public funds to appease the victims. After all, our inadequate oversight also played a part..."
Rongming spoke honestly.
