Chapter 173! Restoring the Magic Crystal
Chapter 173! Restoring the Magic Crystal
……
Although the No. 1 Mako Reactor did not explode but only collapsed, as a huge machine, the noise it caused was still not small, and the vibrations and flying debris still affected the surrounding areas.
However, compared with the original plot, the damage caused this time is negligible. Due to the importance of the Mako Reactor, there are no residents around it, and the casualties are basically all contributed by Shinra soldiers.
When the dust from the collapse slowly settled, Barrett stopped his companions from cheering: "If you want to continue celebrating, wait until we return to the base. This is not a safe place."
Their base is Seventh Heaven, and this time when they return, they can have some drinks!
"Now that the mission is completed, where is my reward? Barrett." Claude called out to Barrett, asking for the reward he had been longing for.
"Don't worry, Brother Claude. You won't lose a penny. All the money is part of the operation before we return to the base. So I'll let Tifa give you the money after we get back." Barrett was in a very good mood and patted Claude on the shoulder in a friendly manner, but Claude patted him away coldly.
Bartley didn't care about his attitude. He waved his mechanical arm and shouted to Shen Ye and the others, "Now, our next task is to escape with all our strength. Everyone should split up and go to the station in District 8, and then gather at the cargo car."
"Yes!" Jesse and the others responded loudly.
Next, they began to head to the station in the eighth district of the disc separately.
However, although they said they were acting separately, they actually traveled in pairs.
For example, Barrett and Biggs walked into a small path, while Claude originally planned to act alone, but Weegee, who had never been in a good mood in front of him, came to him again. This honest fat man was still brooding over Claude's previous attitude towards him, which made Claude very depressed.
Next to Shen Ye was the sunny and ponytailed beauty, Jessie.
After leaving the range of the Mako Reactor from another direction, Shen Ye and Jesse came to a street on Disk No. 8.
At this time, the streets were full of panicked people. They looked at the collapsed Mako Reactor, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
At this moment, above the street, the alarm of Shinra Company resounded through the sky.
"Emergency, emergency, this is the crisis response department of Shinra Corporation. Due to the attack on the No. 1 Mako Reactor, a serious collapse has occurred. Districts 1 and 8 have been designated as warning areas. Please do not approach nearby to avoid being hurt by a possible secondary collapse..."
"Fortunately, the damage is smaller than I thought. Now I feel relieved." Hearing the shrill sirens in the sky, Jesse felt a little guilty at first, fearing that this operation would cause too many casualties. But when he came to the street, he found that except for a few buildings that were damaged by the flying debris, no one was injured, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Shen, your blasting skills are really amazing. Can you teach me?" Jesse asked Shen Ye again. As a manufacturing expert, the bombs used in the team were all made by her. She also had some experience in blasting, so she couldn't help but feel excited.
"It's better for girls not to learn this, especially a girl as beautiful as you." Shen Ye learned some of the blasting skills when he was in the army, and some of them from Balalaika and others in Roanapura. They were very mixed and there was no system. Jesse didn't know how to start when asked to teach him, so he simply refused.
"Ah! Don't be so stingy!" Hearing Shen Ye praising her beauty, Jesse's eyes narrowed with laughter, but she still said, "I won't learn in vain, I can pay the tuition."
"What tuition?" Shen Ye asked as he walked forward.
"Knock knock knock... Of course it's this." Jesse raised her hand in front of Shen Ye as if presenting a treasure. In her palm, there was a fluorescent green sphere, and inside the sphere, there was a swirling gas that looked like a nebula.
"Do you know this?" Jesse asked with a smile.
"It looks familiar. It looks like a recovery magic crystal." Shen Ye was not unfamiliar with this thing, because in the original plot, this recovery magic crystal was given to Claude by Jesse.
"You are really well-informed, Shen!" Jesse praised, then grabbed Shen Ye's hand and stuffed the recovery magic crystal into his hand, "How about using this as tuition?"
"Not very good, it's useless to me." Shen Ye threw the magic crystal back.
Jesse was frantically trying to catch the magic crystal stone. Seeing that Shen Ye had already walked a long way, she was stunned for a moment, then quickened her pace and caught up with him. She grabbed his arm and said, "What do you want to teach me?"
"I don't know how to teach..." Shen Ye was about to continue shaking his head to refuse, but was interrupted by Jesse's sudden action.
Jesse pressed Shen Ye's arm against his chest, then looked at him and said, "What if I use this as tuition?"
Shen Ye was stunned, thinking that the tuition price was indeed very high, but feeling the hard touch on his arm, he looked down at Jesse's chest and clicked his tongue twice.
Jesse looked down and found that he was still wearing a hard breastplate. He moved Shen Ye's arm away from his chest with some disappointment, but still held his arm.
"It's not possible now. It seems I have to wait until next time." Jesse muttered, and then put the recovery magic crystal stone in Shen Ye's hand.
"Whether you can use it or not, I'll give you this recovery crystal as a token of my gratitude for your help today." Jesse continued, "Thank you for your contribution to saving the planet, great hero."
Seeing that Jesse said so, Shen Ye no longer refused and put away the recovery magic crystal.
Afterwards, the two continued walking towards the station in District 8.
On the way to the 8th District Station, the two saw many Shinra soldiers patrolling and maintaining law and order there.
However, since neither of them carried any obvious weapons, the Shinra soldiers simply glanced at them, thinking they were just ordinary people, and ignored them.
"Phew! We are so lucky."
Until the two of them entered the station, they did not encounter any inspection by Shinra soldiers. This made the somewhat nervous Jesse pat his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
