Chapter 565: Could You Explain to Me Using Science? (Part One)

On the other end, Lin Dong, who had been waiting to be called, was squatting and smoking beside the car on the sand.

At this time, Mr. Hawking came over and squatted down with him.

Lin Dong passed over a cigarette and Hawking took it and lit it.

After taking a puff, he asked Lin Dong, “What are you doing here just waiting? If they die, who’s going to call you?”

“Oh.” Lin Dong replied, “I’m waiting for them to call me so I can drive you guys over.”

“You have that much faith in your Master?”

Lin Dong nodded. “Yeah, I don’t know how to explain it, but I just believe in him. After all, my teacher wouldn’t do something unless he’s super confident about it. Since he thinks it would work, then we just need to wait for the good news.”

“You like this kind of life?” Hawking asked him again, “Boys at your age are probably still in the rebellious stage, and many second-generation rich kids would probably be squandering parents’ money.”

“To be frank, I was a bit not used to it in the beginning. But I think that was just an excuse. In fact, I’m just scared that I’m not competent enough, or maybe because my master’s too dazzling, and in comparison to him, what I was doing back in the day was just child’s play. If I just go back to my normal life, I would look down on myself. So, no matter how tough it gets, I will force myself to catch up to my teacher’s footsteps.”

Hawking said uninterestedly, “It’s a pity that your teacher isn’t going to become a politician. To be frank, he could be very beautiful with his words, but I don’t know if he can actually do it.”

Lin Dong didn’t bother replying.

Not long after, a pickup truck came back.

Luo Yi popped his head out of the window and grinned at the two as he said, “Let’s go, time to move.”

Hawking’s mouth was slightly open. “You conquered it?”

“Old Mister, what my teacher used to brainwash people aren’t his words but his actions. It’s called personal charisma.” Lin Dong smiled at Hawking and then shouted at the people waiting at the dirt houses to pack up and go.

Hawking snorted.

He was still skeptical about the fact that good news had come so fast. He didn’t believe that they would succeed in such a one-sided fight in just two hours, including driving time. So, even on their way driving to the city formerly owned by Falcon, he was still feeling that something was fishy.

Li Wei laughed at him. “Sir, you don’t have to look around, just look at whose flag it is that’s at the top of the wall.”

The flag at the front gate was indeed Deviant Clan’s new flag. This time, Hawking had no choice but to admit that he was wrong.

Xu Cheng came over and teased, “See how great my service is? I told you Imma get you a new place, and I did it. Am I sincere enough?”

Hawking snorted and began looking around at the city. There were finally some greeneries. Although it was not some big city, at least the houses were properly built this time with bricks and cement, and there were enough accommodations with everything from a clean-water supply to air-conditioning.

Lin Dong guided the engineers into finding their own houses, and he himself went up to the sentry tower in the city. On top of that tower, Luo Yi was fixing the detection equipment. “Although this model is pretty old and can’t detect further places, it can still keep an eye on our proximity.”

After the engineer put away all their stuff and settled in, they came out for a relaxing walk, trying to take a breath of fresh air.

Mario was warming up and seeing him about to take in a deep breath, he said, “Don’t suck in too much air for a while, it smells pretty dank right now.”

Then, he grabbed onto the buttocks of the pickup truck with both hands, and suddenly used all of his strength, trying to lift up the car.

The engineer curiously asked, ‘What are you doing?”

Mario said with an “are you facking blind” expression, “Trying to flip it over.”

His brain was still playing that handsome scene of Big Brother Cheng lifting it up.

The engineer said in disdain, “It’s obvious that you aren’t very well-educated. What is the level of your explosive strength? You may look burly, but even if you are as strong as Tyson, and with strong back support, would you be able to lift over a thousand pounds? Do you know how heavy this car is? Two tons! Even if you are strong enough to lift the truck off the ground and have enough power to keep it about half in the air, from the physics standpoint, you wouldn’t be able to flip it over with the force of gravity acting on it. So, when you are free, just study more. Don’t become the typical all brawn, no brain kind of guy.”

Mario was in a bit of a daze. He asked, “So what you are saying is, scientifically speaking, it’s impossible to flip this car as a human?”

The engineer nodded. “Unless it’s a plastic car.”

Mario: “But I saw someone do it.”

“Who? Get him to stand out, I will teach some science to him,” the engineer said.

Mario directly pointed at Xu Cheng who was on a balcony smoking a cigarette in the wind.

“Him.”

The engineer snorted, “His arm isn’t even thicker than yours. Are you joking? He’s not even taller than you, not as muscular too. His strength is definitely below yours.”

Mario wondered, “That’s what confused me too, how come he can, but I can’t?”

Mario shouted at Xu Cheng on the balcony, “Big Brother Cheng, the tire needs to be replaced, but I can’t find the jack.”

Xu Cheng didn’t say a word but directly jumped down from the second floor. When he landed, he didn’t lose balance at all and just landed at the same spot with his legs slightly curved to absorb the impact.

Then, he walked over and asked, “Which tire?”

Mario pointed at the rear wheel. “This.”

Xu Cheng went over to lift up the entire rear of the pickup truck. With both rear wheels in the air, he continued to smoke his cigarette nonchalantly, “Quick.”

Mario nodded. He put on a new wheel and screwed it in place and said, “Done.”

Xu Cheng then casually put down the truck and walked away.

This scene made the engineer look as if he just saw a ghost.

Mario said to him, “I’m indeed undereducated, please explain to me what just happened using science.”

The engineer hurried over and tried to imitate what Xu Cheng just did. He tried lifting the back of the pickup truck but couldn’t even get it to move. After making sure it was a real car, he looked at Xu Cheng’s back image and exclaimed, “Oh, my god, but he doesn’t look strong at all.”

Mario shook his head and left.

The engineer shouted at him, “What did you mean earlier about the air being too dank?”

Mario turned around and smiled and said, “Because about 300 people died here tonight, the air isn’t very clean.”

Then, he walked away.

But remembering something, he turned around and added, “Oh right, that not-so-muscular man you just saw earlier, he killed the most. He killed about 130 people tonight.”

After he left, the engineer looked as if he was constipated, not knowing whether he should continue breathing or vomit.
