Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 150: Sneak attack

There are usually no vehicles passing by the street where workers gather in the gear area. If you insist, then only the dung carts from suburban farms will stop at public toilets on the street for a while when needed.

However, at noon on this day, a carriage that would never appear on this street suddenly appeared here. In the curious eyes of the children playing on the street, a young man with white hair and blue eyes opened the door and got out of the car.

"Good afternoon, Mr. August." The leading boy who looked seven or eight years old came over and bowed to Lawrence, then asked timidly. "Um... how is that Jenny now?"

"Are you talking about the little daughter of Jimmy's family?" Lawrence said gently, "She has successfully reduced her fever now, and if there is no problem, she will fully recover in a month."

"That would be great." After hearing Lawrence's answer, the children smiled. At this time, a woman who heard the movement in the street opened the window and greeted, "Mr. August, did you have anything to do on this street today?"

Because Lawrence successfully rescued the Robert Iron Factory before, not only helped the people in the factory keep their jobs, but even because of the direct popularity of the new lighter, the whole factory reached an unprecedented state of full power production, and even had to move from the block. Another twenty or thirty workers were hired as temporary workers.

So for Lawrence, who can provide jobs for everyone, and provide everyone with a relatively generous salary and bonus. Most people on this street respect him. So soon after he appeared on this street, many people poked their heads out of the windows or doors to ask him intently.

"I heard that many people on this street are sick, so come here and see if I can help you solve this problem." Looking at the more and more open windows and doors around, Lawrence said in a higher voice. "Well, from Jenny’s body, I have checked out which disease is this time, because the disease detected is an infectious disease. So I’m here now to check the surrounding environment and see if it is What caused Jenny to get sick."

"Is it an infectious disease?" "It's no wonder that my husband has also had a fever these past two days." After hearing Lawrence's words, the women around immediately began to whisper. Several of the women who were sick in the family shouted loudly. "Mr. August, how do you treat the patient?"

"Wait until I get back." Lawrence waved his hand slightly, and then pointed to the tall water tower in the distance. "I need to check the water tower now, because this infectious disease is transmitted through unclean water sources. I suspect there may be a problem on that water tower."

"Old Huck, Mr. August needs to inspect the water tower." After hearing Lawrence's words, several impatient women shouted loudly in one direction. "You quickly bring the key to Mr. August."

"Come, here--" The door of a house not far away opened, and an old man with a cane limped out of the room. Lawrence found that his left leg seemed to be I was injured so that the bones of my calf were twisted at a strange angle.

"You mean the water source is polluted?" The old man walked up to Lawrence and said unconvincingly. "But I swear I will climb up and down every day to check, and I have never found anything wrong."

"I don't have any thoughts that you are not conscientious enough, sir." Lawrence said. At this time, he found that the old man was wearing a military uniform from more than 20 years ago, so he approached the old man and whispered. "But I think you should know that there are many problems in this world that ordinary people cannot solve or even discover."

As an ex-soldier, the old man naturally knows what Lawrence said ordinary people cannot solve or even discover. So he immediately stopped muttering and put a big palm-sized key in Lawrence's hand.

"I understand what you are talking about, Mr. August." The old gentleman said when he put the key in Lawrence's hands, and then he asked in a low voice, "Do you need some weapons? My house? There is also a well-maintained double-barreled shotgun."

"No need, I have a weapon." Lawrence said and patted the waist of his coat. The light metal rubbing sound indicated that Lawrence was carrying his pistol in the holster under his arm.

"We should go now, old Jack." After displaying his weapons, Lawrence took a step back and shouted to the driver who was driving him. "Remember to bring my medicine kit."

"Understood, sir." The coachman agreed in an old voice, and then he took a box from the roof rack and carried it on his back, and then followed Lawrence to the water tower.

"Come on!" "I hope you can find out where the problem is as soon as possible." The people on the street looked at the backs of the two people and cheered for them, but no one found a window on the second floor of a house that was sealed by wooden boards. In the gap, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at the backs of two people maliciously.

"Sure enough, the problem lies here." After Lawrence climbed to the water tank of the water tower to take a sample, he observed the samples with a microscope on the top of the water tower with the help of sunlight, and soon he found them in these samples. Traces of typhoid bacilli.

"Now I have to go to the church and inform them to quickly purify the water tower." Lawrence muttered and stood up, but when he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt that there was a guy on the stairs behind him quietly. Approach yourself.

[Magic Missile], knowing that no one else would come up at this time, Lawrence immediately bent down and flashed to the side, and at the same time released magic towards the position of the enemy he felt.

Immediately after the magic missile was released, Lawrence heard the dodge footsteps coming from behind him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he turned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a guy who had wrapped himself in a lot of rags in front of him.

"Our medical expert still looks like a spellcaster?" A hoarse voice came from under the tattered masking cloth as if scraping the bottom of a pot with a knife. "But that's okay, if I kill you, I should have a greater chance of getting the favor of my lord——"

When the opponent was chattering, Lawrence tried to seize the opponent's relaxed vigilance and launched a surprise attack. But until the other party had finished saying a whole sentence, he didn't realize that the other party had any weakness for him to attack.

[Spider Web Technique], but during this period of time, Lawrence realized that the opponent was probably an extraordinary man with mobility, such as a wanderer, so he released the only one in his hand at the moment when the opponent hadn’t finished speaking. The magic that can limit the opponent's mobility, but this magic did not hit the prepared opponent.

"Ha, do you think you can hit me?" The guy laughed at Lawrence while rushing towards him. Lawrence saw a very ominous blue faint light flashing on the dagger in his hand. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

Seeing the opponent approaching, Lawrence immediately released [Missile Storm]. Under the pressure of continuous and extremely accurate missiles, the rogue had to step back step by step to avoid the oncoming magic bullets.

At this time, Lawrence drew out his pistol and fired at the opponent. In the storm of bullets and magic missiles, the rogue had to retreat again and again, and finally retreated directly to the entrance of the stairs that went up to the top of the tower. But at this time, both the magic missile of Missile Storm and the bullets in the pistol were all consumed.

[Magic Missile] Lawrence once again released a magic attack, but it was blocked by the magic arm shield on the rogue's left arm.

Just as he lowered his left arm to taunt the attack that seemed to be a dying struggle in his eyes, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air under his feet.

"What—" Just when the wanderer felt uncomfortable preparing to escape, an iron chain with a square metal weight on each end directly entangled his legs, and at the same time a series of huge and sacred The sound exploded in the ear. He immediately felt his brain buzz, and then he didn't know anything when his eyes went dark.
