Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 101: Chapter 93: The Overlord Lifts the Cauldron (4/10)

A heavy wooden crate weighing a ton!

Inside are twenty iron lumps!

Crashed down from over three meters high on the shelf!

If it comes crashing down, it would definitely flatten a person along with the forklift!

After all, the big wooden crate alone weighs around a ton, adding the kinetic energy to it makes it unimaginably terrifying.

Although the forklift has a protective overhead guard, it is absolutely impossible to withstand such a heavy impact; most likely the person and the forklift would both be flattened.

Seeing this, Peng Erping, Old Ma, and dozens of workers in the workshop all turned pale with fright, feeling that something big was about to happen!

At this critical moment!

As everyone was holding their breath and almost suffocating from anxiety!

Suddenly, a mysterious figure inexplicably appeared in front of the forklift, as if emerging out of nowhere!

Peng Erping thought he was seeing things.

But upon closer inspection, there really was a person suddenly standing there.

And that person was Lu Li, who had been beside him just a moment ago!

Peng Erping was stunned.

Just one or two seconds ago, Lu Li was still beside him.

How did he suddenly appear in the area over thirty meters away near the shelf?

Old Ma and the remaining dozens of workers also saw this scene.

Since outsiders are usually not allowed in the workshop.

So Peng Erping ”violating the rules” by bringing Lu Li in had attracted a lot of attention.

Whether it was Old Ma or the dozens of workers, before the incident, they had been keeping an eye on Lu Li, knowing he was near the assembly line.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, this young man ”flashed” over thirty meters and appeared in the shelf area?

This left many people bewildered, unable to understand how Lu Li did it.

Under normal circumstances, people might ponder over the situation carefully, then speculate whether Lu Li was a ghost or something, sparking some gossip.

But now the situation was extremely urgent.

Who had the mind to care about why Lu Li suddenly ”flashed” so far?

Seeing Lu Li’s figure, everyone’s hearts, which had been anxiously raised, nearly jumped out of their throats!

Originally, if the wooden crate came down, it would at most crush Old Gao.

Now, it might crush an innocent outsider as well!

Then it wouldn’t just be a matter of compensation or not.

The incident would blow up, it would make it to the news!

Peng Erping’s vision went black, feeling this incident was really going to blow up, and he almost fainted from fright!

Old Ma and the other dozens of workers in the workshop, although not having thought that far, turned even paler knowing that another person might be harmed!

After all, these are two living human lives!

All of this sounds like a long story.

In reality, it happened in just a moment.

The heavy wooden crate, with a whistling sound, fiercely crashed downwards!

Peng Erping, Old Ma, and numerous workers could do nothing but watch helplessly.

Sitting in the forklift, Old Gao was horrified to the point of soul scattering.

He even closed his eyes in despair, as if ready to greet the arrival of death.

Anyone in such a situation would feel they were doomed.

Old Gao felt the same way, thinking he was completely done for.

So his body’s self-protection system made him instinctively close his eyes, not daring to face the coming death.

This was an instinctive reflex, not because Old Gao actually wanted to close his eyes.

He never expected that his earlier ”slackness” would lead to such dire consequences!

At this moment, Old Gao was filled with regret.

Yet, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

He felt it was too late to repent, thinking his life might end here.

Just as Old Gao closed his eyes, a loud ’bang’ sounded in his ear.

He thought he had been smashed into a mince, about to lose all consciousness.

However, to Old Gao’s amazement, he didn’t feel any pain on his body, nor did he lose consciousness, and he even heard Old Ma and numerous colleagues simultaneously exclaiming!

”Oh my god!”

”Damn!”

”Huh?”

”Wha...what?”

The shouting was filled with intense shock!

Huh?

What just happened?

A ton-heavy box came crashing down.

Shouldn’t I be crushed into paste?

Old Gao was utterly confused, not understanding what happened.

He cautiously opened a slit in his eyes to see what was going on.

It would have been better if he didn’t look.

Once he did, Old Gao, who only had a slit open, suddenly widened his eyes!

He couldn’t believe the astonishing scene before him.

The handsome young man, who had been joking with the boss and appeared refined, now had his branded clothes bursting open, revealing well-developed chest muscles and enviably defined eight-pack abs.

There’s nothing particularly shocking about this.

What shocked Old Gao was that he actually saw Lu Li holding up a nearly one-ton wooden crate filled with iron stators with just his bare hands!

At that moment, Lu Li’s entire body was bulging with muscles, and he seemed to have grown a size larger out of thin air.

Perhaps it was because of this that his clothes tore apart, revealing a perfect physique that made men feel ashamed and women envious!

Holding up a nearly two-thousand-pound wooden crate with just his arms?

Most crucially, this wooden crate had fallen from a height of more than three meters.

The kinetic energy was far more than just one ton!

”How... how is this possible!”

Old Gao was dumbfounded at the time.

He even suspected that he might have been crushed to death, and the scene before him was a hallucination!

But the intense heartbeat and the resurgence of his inner fear.

Made Old Gao realize that what he saw was not a hallucination at all!

His heart pounded wildly, and a thought he couldn’t believe was born in his mind: Are you even human, this is a one-ton crate falling from over three meters high, and you held it up with just two hands?

Yes, Old Gao was completely dumbfounded.

So much so that he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, wanting to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.

After rubbing his eyes, the scene before him remained unchanged.

Only then did Old Gao, utterly flabbergasted, distinctly confirm that the young man before him had indeed used his own strength to hold up a one-ton wooden crate that had fallen from over three meters high!

No wonder Old Gao was so shocked by just a fleeting glance.

Peng Erping, Old Ma, and dozens of workers in the workshop witnessed the entire process with their own eyes.

Their shock was even greater than Old Gao’s!

Just a moment ago, everyone saw Lu Li suddenly appear under the falling crate, and they were all so scared that their faces turned pale.

However, what no one expected was that Lu Li’s face showed no hint of fear at all.

He even slightly bent his knees and then suddenly leaped up, his arms supporting the wooden crate.

People who saw this scene thought Lu Li would be crushed into a pancake along with the crate.

Indeed, at the time, Lu Li couldn’t resist the downward momentum of the crate and was pressed down by it.

But what happened next was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

After Lu Li was pressed back to the ground, he wasn’t smashed into a pancake as everyone thought.

On the contrary, he still firmly held the crate, with only his legs slightly bent as if unloading the force!

If anyone was nearby, they would have noticed that a crack had appeared in the concrete floor beneath Lu Li, clearly caused by the instant unloading of force.

You must know that a standard-sized concrete floor can bear a load of about one to two thousand kilograms.

And now there’s a crack?

It shows how powerful the kinetic energy of the falling crate was.

Yet, despite the violent impact, Lu Li really resisted it.

It was as if he was lifting a wooden crate filled with foam, not one weighing a ton!

Old Ma was suddenly struck dumb!

The pale look on Peng Erping’s face turned into shock at a speed visible to the eye.

The remaining dozens of workshop workers, every single one, were suddenly filled with horror on their faces.

No one expected that Lu Li could rely on just his strength to hold up a one-ton wooden crate falling from over three meters high!

Almost everyone had the same thought as Old Gao at the same moment: Damn it, are you really human!

The sight left everyone in shock!

Everyone was deeply shaken by what they saw!

This is a one-ton wooden crate!

Usually, even seven or eight people together might not be able to lift it.

And you held it up by yourself?

Yes, history has recorded Xiang Yu lifting a cauldron of a thousand pounds.

It seems possible to lift something weighing a ton.

In fact, anyone knows that while it may seem easy for the Overlord to lift a cauldron, achieving what Lu Li just did is entirely impossible.

Why say that?

Because a Qin Dynasty pound was about 250 grams.

The so-called cauldron of a thousand pounds would be at most 500 pounds now.

Okay, let’s not consider the difference between a Qin Dynasty pound and today’s measures.

Even if we admit that someone in this world can lift a thousand pounds like Xiang Yu.

The problem is this one-ton crate fell from over three meters high!

Anyone with a bit of physics knowledge could calculate how much kinetic energy such a heavy crate would generate falling down.

Without considering any friction, the kinetic energy would be at least thirty thousand newtons!

A kilogram of weight experiences a force of 9.8 newtons.

Thirty thousand newtons equals nearly three tons of weight!

So, the kinetic energy of the falling crate just now was at least around 3,000 kilograms.

Three thousand kilograms and one thousand kilograms are completely different concepts!

This impact, let alone whether human bones can withstand it.

Just say if there were two iron rods below, they might get bent!

And now?

Lu Li seemed completely unscathed.

He stood there stably, raising the wooden crate high above his head!

This scene left Peng Erping, Old Ma, Old Gao, and dozens of workshop workers all feeling as if their spirits were about to leave their bodies.

Everyone seemed to travel back through the river of history to the period of the war between Chu and Han, witnessing the awe-inspiring miracle of Chu Overlord Xiang Yu lifting the cauldron!
