Chapter 368 Golden Elephant Tombstone
Following Bai Xie, Zhou Yi walked out of the rainforest and into an open area.

There is a very high barbed wire fence here, with two long large water storage tanks inside. At both ends of the tank are two square concrete buildings, and there is a circle of pipes buried underground on the four sides.

A tall girl holding a white knight's lance was patrolling here. She had long wine-red hair, and a heavy mechanical body with two movable cannons on her shoulders. There were also four knight's lances on her back.

Bai Xi pointed to the wire fence and said, "This is our water plant. The one guarding it is Sister Hong Xing, who is also a weapon princess."

“Sister Hong Xing, I’m bringing Mr. Zhou to repair the treatment water plant.”

Hong Xing looked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi also looked at her.

This tall and slender weapon princess was fully armed, her body tightly wrapped in a black cloth, showing her clear lines, and she wore a pair of black boots.

"Identity confirmed, go in."

Hong Xing moved aside with the gun in hand.

So Bai Xie, Zhou Yi and Yuan Xiao walked directly towards the barbed wire. The moment they got close, the barbed wire began to melt and curl in all directions.

Zhou Yi felt a little bit magical: "Is this iron net bound to the red apricot?"

Bai Xi nodded: "Without Sister Hong Xing's permission, I will be entangled in the iron net. Although this [Iron Cage] looks unimpressive, it is also an A-level weapon and is not that easy to break through. I used to fight it one-on-one, and I couldn't beat it for a long time."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

He looked at the iron net behind him.

The army leader's camp indeed has a wide variety of weapons, even this thing is A-grade.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to the water plant.

He still used the old method and put his hands on the building.

Energy is input and consciousness is activated at the same frequency.

"Hello."

"Ok?"

The water plant responded quickly: "Can you connect with me directly?"

The other party showed a hint of surprise.

"Yes. I was invited by the Lord of Arms..."

After briefly introducing himself, Zhou Yi asked about the problem here.

"Well, I did it on purpose."

"On purpose... why?"

“Because these water issues are huge.”

It said: "My name is Xindu Water Plant. I cover an area of 32 mu, can serve 15 people, supply 1.5 tons of water per day, and have a long-term water quality compliance rate of 99%... My work was originally normal, but now the water quality compliance rate has dropped to 32%, which is completely unusable for drinking."

"For safety reasons, I cannot let this water out."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Yi asked it: "What's the reason?"

"Excessive levels of heavy metals and radioactive contamination."

Xindu Water Plant said: "The water source here is the main stream water of the northern region's rivers."

"As for heavy metal pollution, based on my limited ability to identify, it mainly contains a large amount of lead, and the lead content in the water is still increasing."

"Radioactive substances in rocks, soil and air are also contaminating water sources, and this situation is also becoming increasingly serious."

After discussing and communicating with it, Zhou Yi roughly found the source of the pollution.

The lead content exceeds the standard, and the source is in the golden elephants.

These super-giant creatures will trample all kinds of life on the ground into pools of gold foil. This gold foil is also unstable and will soon turn into lead, thereby polluting the water and soil.

The radioactivity comes from outside the safe zone.

The area is continuously subjected to high-intensity radiation, which also has a lasting impact on the water flowing through it.

Over the years, the water plant's water purification capacity has been unable to effectively clean up pollution and provide safe and clean drinking water.

Ultimately it chooses to lock up the water to prevent it from flowing out and harming drinkers.

Zhou Yi informed Bai Xie who was standing next to him about the situation.

"What should I do?"

The bunny-eared girl looked confused.

"The golden elephants already exist, and there's no way to stop them from trampling on them. And the radiation from the outside world can't be changed... So our water plant can't produce water?"

She looked at Zhou Yi anxiously: "Do you have a solution? You must have a solution, right?"

“There is a way.”

Zhou Yi discussed feasible measures with the Xindu Water Company.

“Two ways.”

"The first is to change the water source to a river that only passes through the safe zone. Is there such a water source?"

Bai Xi shook his head.

"Then there is only the second way, which is much more troublesome."

Zhou Yi told her: "First, we need to install a powerful integrated water purifier, which must integrate flocculation, sedimentation, sewage discharge, backwashing, water collection and filtration processes."

“Open a new sedimentation tank to sink the particles in the water multiple times and separate the flocs.”

"The next step is to install a new powerful filtration layer, which uses porous solid matter to absorb and remove heavy metal ions and radioactive particles from the water, as well as tiny suspended impurities, organic matter, bacteria, viruses, etc."

"Then we will continue to expand the clear water pool and build two new pools of the current size to further purify the water by letting it sit for a long time."

"The supporting facilities of the water plant have not been replaced for many years, and many of them have long been out of service. The Xindu Water Plant mainly relies on the most basic physical sedimentation, so the effect is getting worse and worse."

Bai Xi nodded as he heard this.

"I understand. I just need to buy these things...that's all, right?"

"That's about it. There's another one..."

Suddenly, there was a loud roar like thunder outside, followed by a series of explosions.

Bai Xi's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! The golden elephant is coming! It's an adult! We have to fight!"

"Mr. Zhou, please hide for a moment. I will go and support Sister Hong Xing."

After saying that, she turned around and ran as fast as she could. Zhou Yi walked to the barbed wire.

From here, one can clearly see the traces of the golden elephant in the distance. Its feet, like golden pillars, stomped down from the air, splashing pieces of gold foil and a large amount of gold thread on the ground.

Its legs were as thick as mountains, but the whole thing was a smooth metal structure, with a skin that was as smooth as if it had been polished. When it stepped down from the sky, there was no structure similar to toes or palms under its feet.

During the entire step, there is no bending of the legs, just like a giant metal drill driving piles.

The golden elephant walked towards the water plant step by step, and the sense of oppression continued to increase as the distance got closer.

Two weapon girls blocked the attack.

Leading the way is Hong Xing.

The cannons on her shoulders continued to fire at the golden elephant's front legs.

During the firing interval, Hong Xing leaned back greatly, and threw the White Knight's Spear at high speed, making a loud sound of arrows breaking through the air.

The spear turned into a beam of white light and hit the golden elephant's front leg, exploding into a dazzling ball of sparks. The black smoke dissipated, but the golden elephant's leg was intact and continued to move forward slowly.

Hong Xing threw the knight's lances she was equipped with one by one, and they all exploded on the enemy.

Then her whole body folded and deformed, turning into a metal bird with long and wide wings, and took off from the ground.

The red apricot in weapon form began to circle around the golden elephant's leg. The cannons under its wings continued to fire, and a blazing laser was ejected from the bird's head in an attempt to penetrate the golden elephant's leg.

However, when the laser hit the elephant's legs, it only reflected a glare and was completely unable to break the defense.

Bai Xue was transformed into a black and white concept motorcycle, with a triangular frame, white lines and an opposed twin engine. The large metal reflector above the front wheel was integrated with the frame, with streamlined simplicity and elegance. The small iron coffin containing the witch of bad luck was still fixed on the back seat.

It drove all the way up the golden leg pillars of the golden elephant, running flexibly at high speed on them, releasing layers of light waves visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Yi was touched by the light waves from a distance, and for a moment he was in a trance, with his mind becoming a little confused.

He sobered up quickly.

It's a consciousness attack.

It turns out that Bai Xi is good at this field.

She and Hong Xing both tried to lure the golden elephant away in their own ways.

But the giant just ignored the obstruction and moved forward.

The huge gap between A-level and light core body cannot be made up by quantity.

It is less than 500 meters away from the Xindu Water Plant. Just four or five steps would be enough to crush it and destroy the already overwhelmed building.

Zhou Yi no longer hesitated.

The atmospheric creatures on his shoulders burst out, forming a huge cloud house that covered the sky and the sun. In terms of size, it was no less than the golden elephant with only four legs visible.

After receiving the order, Curling did not retreat because the opponent was a light core body, but launched an attack on the Golden Elephant.

at the same time.

Maiba has also expanded into the field of BGM.

After just a moment, it responded, "No, Chairman. Its consciousness is too strong. I cannot pull it into my world with my current strength. I can only slightly influence it."

“Then try to influence it as much as possible.”

Zhou Yi also knew that it was not easy to deal with the photonuclear body.

As long as we can hold it back, we'll be successful.

Fortunately, the consciousness of the atmospheric creatures was strong enough, and coupled with the influence exerted by the microphone master, the golden elephant fell into a moment of stillness.

All we have to do next is wait for the support from the commander to arrive.

At this time, Yuan Xiao next to him suddenly said, "There is a flaw. Chairman, this guy has a fatal flaw. It has very little life left, so it went crazy."

Huh?
Zhou Yi was surprised: "Is this a wounded golden elephant?"

The angel of death stared at the huge monster in the distance. His eyes were like red glass, and black lines appeared at the corners of his eyes. "Its weakness is at the foot of its right hind leg. I can see that its life is slipping away quickly. That's the biggest gap! Its fatal weakness!"

Zhou Yi immediately shouted: "The weak point is at the foot of the right hind leg, attack there!"

The two weapon masters immediately changed their targets and rushed towards the right hind leg.

Under their precise attacks, the golden elephant finally stopped turning a blind eye. Its four legs melted everything it touched into gold, which then turned into flowing liquid gold.

Zhou Yi couldn't tell whether it was the golden blood flowing from the golden elephant or whether it had transformed and assimilated the surrounding environment on a large scale.

Hong Xing and Bai Xi also had to quickly distance themselves to avoid being affected.

The golden elephant continued to move forward.

Weapon Girl continued to attack the right leg fiercely, Mai Ba used all his strength to influence, and the atmospheric creature continued to attack consciously.

These methods were completely ineffective in the face of the serious Golden Elephant.

Curling suddenly said, "Chairman, this creature has no ill intentions... I have gained a part of its consciousness. It is dying, and it just wants to return to the place where it was born to die - in the water plant, where it was born."

"confirm?"

"confirm."

Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, then shouted to the two weapon princesses, "Stop attacking, let it come over."

The first to stop firing was Bai Xie, followed by Hong Xing.

The golden elephant continued to move forward.

It stepped over the A-level [Iron Cage Entanglement], and the iron wires extending from the iron net were directly crushed and torn apart by it.

The golden elephant took the last step and arrived at the clear water pool.

There was a crisp metallic collision sound coming from the body.

It seemed that it could no longer hold on, and its body began to collapse, with all four legs crashing to the ground. However, the upper part of its body was still missing.

Only then did Zhou Yi see that the sole of the golden elephant's right hind leg had been smashed or eaten away by something, turning it into a hollow cylinder.

After it fell, its huge four legs began to melt, gold flowed from top to bottom, and a large amount of white gas evaporated.

But soon it seemed to burn out and turned into a huge pile of silver-gray lead.

Among the collapsed lead blocks, a small golden pillar is very eye-catching. Its top is conical, like a spear pointing to the sky.

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed.

It turns out that the golden sunflower is the tombstone of the golden elephant.
