The Right Hammer! (Bonus Chapter, Making Up for Yesterday)

Five days later, Li Yao was rubbing his temples next to the fifth floor of the Research and Development Building, his head throbbing with pain.

Over the course of five days, the testing team, led by Fu Qinghua and Guo Changshi, used various methods to conduct extermination tests on the "Filth Light".

The first attempt was to bombard with high-voltage current.

Unfortunately,

The purified Filth Light does not conduct electricity—it feels like Enel from Skypiea Enel meeting Luffy, who clearly has the strength of an admiral but is defeated by a cheat code, which is incredibly frustrating.

The high-voltage current bombardment test did yield some feedback on the infected! The powerful current instantly charred the infected host of the Filth Light, which greatly encouraged the testing team! They increased the output power of the current!

This caused the subsequent infected to evaporate immediately...

Hmm... please continue to praise the goblins.

However, the Verdant Matter remained even after the infected body evaporated.

Although the results were not entirely satisfactory, they were still somewhat effective. After sending the test results to his best friend, Li Yao left a message: "High-voltage current can be used to block the progress of the infected, at least to a certain extent, it can block the Filth Light."

Lin Xiaowei quickly replied, "Who would I ask for such a strong voltage and current?"

Pikachu?

The Main World is different from Earth; the primary energy used there is psionic energy.

Even the lightning energy used by the Evocation School's lightning system is carried by a psionic framework centered on mental power—not purely physical energy!

This causes the mages' lightning and thunder to be destroyed from the very foundation by the Filth Light light!

When a high-voltage current strikes the body, it is decomposed into a scattered electric field.

Unless a High-Rank Mage uses their ability to alter the rules to directly summon natural lightning—but as mentioned before, High-Rank Mage are extremely rare!

Therefore, this plan is rejected!

The testing team then requested another neutron bomb for testing! The effect was even worse than high-voltage current.

Neither the purified Verdant Matter nor the infected organisms were significantly affected.

Subsequent analysis by the testing team revealed that the neutron bomb directly damaged the activity of proteins within living organisms. A large number of active proteins in an ordinary living organism would certainly not be able to withstand the mass death of these proteins. This is equivalent to turning a living being into a pile of decaying flesh and bone from a purely visual perspective.

But the Filth Light and the infected can no longer be called life.

It is at least not life in the conventional sense.

At this point, conventional extermination methods have reached a stalemate.

Once the Containment Item arrived three days later, a new round of testing began.

However, the results were still not optimistic.

In the Elemental Demi-Plane, an experimenter was asked to enter the crystal column cluster. Before he could even start writing and erasing, he was infected by the Verdant Matter. Li Yao had to use the crystal column cluster to remove the "eraser".

As for the experimenters...

He's getting along quite well with a group of infected goblins now.

This was the first time Li Yao had ever seen humans in such a state, and he immediately felt a little guilty. "Should we compensate them in some way?"

Unexpectedly, the accompanying Containment Item personnel replied without even looking up, "Don't worry. Those test subjects are all heinous death row inmates—the one just now was a notorious drug kingpin who was active in the Golden Triangle region for a long time. He's quite remarkable, surviving three experiments. However, his mental state has deteriorated, and even if a psychic planted a powerful suggestion in him, it will soon be ineffective."

The Containment Item managers spoke of these things in an extremely casual tone, as if they were talking about someone recently catching a cold.

Most people would probably be appalled by their disregard for life.

But the real world is never a pure, innocent place.

It is the "flower of evil" that blooms with a bewitching aura from rotting flesh and stagnant pustules.

Mexico, which shares a border with the American Federation, is a truly chaotic country. Drug addicts there are extremely rampant. Major drug addicts live a life of luxury and ease by feeding on the lives of their own people, while any evil thought they have towards those crossing the border will surely lead to disaster.

Chopping off hands and feet are basic operations.

Peeling skin and cutting off noses were commonplace.

Those people won't discriminate against you because of your skin color, race, or nationality—oh, there are still differences between men and women.

There is an extra step before the girl is tortured and killed.

There are always people lounging on the sofa, scrolling through their phones, sipping ice- Fatty Happiness Water, and fantasizing about how wonderful the world is. It's as if the air abroad is always sweet.

Forget it.

The real world can be suffocating.

The reason why most people can still calmly rule the world with their keyboards is precisely because there are many people like Containment Item administrators fighting on the front lines, ensuring the peaceful and prosperous world that most people see.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the Containment Item manager, the testing team conducted several more tests.

The results were not easy.

Containment Item S-0091 can only erase small amounts of the Filth Light. When the Filth Light becomes a large-scale phenomenon, the test personnel who possess S-0091 simply disappear.

S-0056-01 then gave strong feedback.

The moment the soapy water came into contact with the pale green light, a large amount of viscous, translucent, oily yellow substance was generated.

Subsequent testing revealed that it was indeed mutated fat.

The soapy water appears to be undergoing reverse degradation...

At this point,

The experiment has reached a stalemate.

Li Yao threw himself onto a pile of report papers, clutching his head and making a buzzing sound, "Fine, you're awesome! I don't believe I can't handle you!"

The intense testing over the past few days left Li Yao somewhat exhausted.

All the tests required him to manipulate the crystal column clusters, and every test operation had to be done with extreme care!

If the source of infection is leaked out carelessly, it could be a huge disaster!

There are no Legendary Mage on Earth to save the day!

Just as Li Yao was feeling annoyed, Lin Xiaowei sent him a message: "Wait a minute, Da Yao! Logically, the neutron flow impact should be effective, right?"

Li Yao picked up his phone and replied, "I think so too, but the experimental results don't lie."

He pinched his brow and picked up the neutron bomb test report again...

Sudden!

A flash of inspiration struck! — The neutron beam primarily damages active proteins by disrupting their activity, but it can penetrate the gaps in buildings and other materials. — Could it be that neutrons are too small to effectively kill the "Filth Light"? It's like piercing a cowhide with needles! Even if the cowhide is riddled with holes, it can still maintain a relatively intact state.

But it's a different story if you stab someone with a knife!

This is a qualitative change caused by quantitative change!

Li Yao considered sharing his thoughts with his best friend.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiaowei agreed with Li Yao's idea, adding, "The Filth Light is highly reactive and can slowly recover even after being pierced repeatedly, although we don't know the recovery method. Moreover—I think the focus should be on kinetic energy rather than lethality!"

Li Yao nodded. "If we completely regard the Filth Light as water, now we need to find a hammer that can disperse and evaporate the water molecules one by one!"

Moreover, there had to be a sufficient number of these hammers! With this new idea in mind, Li Yao immediately began arranging the experiments...

In order to find a "hammer" of suitable size as soon as possible, Li Yao and the testing team directly divided into several groups to conduct experiments. As for the order of the experiments, they simply picked up the atomic numbers from the Periodic Table and tested them from high to low. After obtaining the experimental results, they then took the median value for testing in sequence! During the experiment, the Containment Item S-0056-01 made a great contribution!

Extracting a single atom from a substance is not an easy task, but with this, it becomes much more convenient!

After several rounds of intense testing, everyone finally found the right "hammer"! This chapter is 2300 words long, and it's the third update yesterday... These two chapters almost killed me, so I hope you all enjoy reading them! I'll continue with extra updates tonight, for all the readers Teemo!
