Li Yi moved slowly in the dark and damp sewer, and the air was filled with a disgusting rancid smell.
He had been in this environment for two days.
An ordinary person would have collapsed long ago if he had been in this kind of environment for a long time, but he didn't think so.
It's not like he hasn't experienced scenes more unbearable than this.
a lot of.
But whether he was new to the dungeon or experienced in many battles, he had never been as careful as this time.
There is no other reason than that this body is too weak.
None of his previous abilities existed, and his body had inexplicably shrunk by more than ten times. This meant that he had to make every effort to use the environment and surrounding props to win even as a mouse.
If there hadn't been a mousetrap there, he would have been chewed clean by now.
Li Yi sighed slightly in his heart.
I never thought I would become so embarrassed.
Of course, he soon cheered up. He always felt that there must be some reason why he was transported to such a strange place.
Perhaps after finding out the truth, we can face the real mastermind instead of the so-called mastermind itself.
But before that, he must first find out the truth about himself being made smaller, and the truth about this city.
He had a feeling that the two things might be related.
He was not aimless these two days, even though in his current state, he could only stay in the sewer without seeing anyone.
Who knows what the consequences would be if people in this city saw such a miniature man, or he might be dragged to an exhibition.
In order to avoid this possible trouble, Li Yi decided not to show up for the time being, but to conduct the investigation secretly.
Sewers, a kind of "construction facility" that extends in all directions in the city, just provide him with convenience.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was because of his smaller body that he could freely walk through the sewers that allowed Li Yi to quickly understand part of the truth about the city in just two days.
This is still when the system "fails".
So that’s it, is this...a besieged city?
No wonder people here are...
When he found out that this place had been besieged by unknown monsters for three full months, Li Yi also had a basic understanding of the current situation of the residents of this city.
To put it simply, people are dying of hunger everywhere, and it is common to catch mice and eat them.
This also reminded him of that "unlucky" mouse. He didn't pay attention to it because the matter was urgent before, but after he heard some rumors about animals in Gray Fog City, he combined it with what happened when he "battled" with that mouse. Li Yi suddenly thought of something.
So, he decided to catch a mouse to verify it.
Speaking of which, this is not something that can be done if you want to. After all, with his current state and situation, it is too late to hide, let alone catch him.
Li Yi's original idea was that there were not only rats in the sewers, but almost all the garbage in the city could be found in the sewers, especially since the garbage could not be dumped outside the city.
This is why as the siege continues, the smell here becomes stronger and more unbearable.
In other words, there is a high probability that he can use local materials and obtain production materials directly from the sewers.
Yes, since his body is weak and he has become smaller and invincible, it does not mean that he cannot use tools to achieve his goals.
Isn't it because humans are humans and have escaped the category of animals because they have learned to use and make tools?
Li Yi thought well. Although the system failed for some reason, he still had something in his mind. Making a mousetrap was not a problem, as long as he found the corresponding materials.
However, he didn't expect that such a simple thing would be so difficult.
When Li Yi spent a long time pulling out a piece of wire as thick as his arm from the garbage pile that formed a hill, he chose to give up.
As for the reason, it couldn't be simpler.
That means that in his current situation, he simply cannot make a so-called mousetrap!
Think about how big that mouse is?
And the iron wire in front of you. Have you ever seen an arm-thick iron wire? That must be a steel cable!
With Li Yi's current physical fitness, let alone deadlifting a steel cable, even if it was really a wire, he didn't have the ability to fiddle with a mousetrap.
I can't unscrew it at all!
Thinking of this, Li Yi was immediately discouraged.
And just when he was about to give up, an idea came to him by chance.
A somewhat risky but useful opportunity.
That was also his first contact with people in this city.
That is, when we first arrived, the shadow was enough to give people a fear of giant objects.
On this day, Li Yizheng was cautiously moving forward in the sewer. As he continued to move forward, the road that was always full of rancid smell suddenly became clearer.
This did not make Li Yi feel relaxed, but made him more vigilant.
Because he knew that he might encounter humans next. According to his current physique, he would be a giant.
As for how he knew it, the reason was very simple. The sewers in the city were not static.
Generally speaking, no matter what era you are in, once you start to pay attention to urban drainage, it means that this era has entered a relatively advanced period. After all, starting to pay attention to disease prevention will not be an ignorant and backward era.
In other words, human technology in this period has developed to a certain level, and urban drainage planning is a quite large project. Even if it is only a small city, once it is decided to build an urban drainage system, the first thing to do is .
It’s about pre-planning and designing.
Of course, this is actually nonsense. To put it simply, the entire project must be constructed in a unified and standardized manner.
This means that the entire sewer system will be exactly the same.
In other words, only when you see sewers that can accommodate normal human traffic can you truly enter the city's urban drainage system.
As for the previous sewers that could only accommodate rats, they were either made in the early stages when they were still immature, or they illustrate another problem.
Although it is in a city, it has two drainage systems!
As for the reason, Li Yi understood it after thinking about it for a while.
Cities are bound to create classes, even sewers are no exception!
If his prediction was correct, if he continued to move along the wide sewer, there was a high probability that he would encounter someone directly.
After thinking about it, Li Yi decided to stop temporarily to rest. If he accidentally bumped into someone, there would be a high chance of tragedy.
In his current state, he could tell with his toes that once he met someone head-on, there would be no way to escape even if he wanted to.
You can't fight, you can't escape, the result is predictable.
As he was thinking about this, he stopped. However, before he could find a hiding place, he heard voices coming from a distance. Li Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't have time to think about it. He glanced around and saw only one person. He could barely get in every crack, but at this time, he didn't care much anymore.
It went right in with a whooshing sound.
Hide first and then talk!
However, he did not expect that this sewer could be filled with everything. Some unexpected things were slowly floating along the waterway. More importantly, just when the human voice came near him.
Then, an unexpected thing happened.
"Kohler, you are quite capable of enduring hardships. This place smells so bad, but you can endure it."
Kohler carefully glanced at the tall and thin man in front of him and said with an apologetic smile.
"Brother An is joking. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find this job."
"oh?"
The tall and thin man named An Ge gave a sinister smile and glanced at the boy.
"What? You think this job is good?"
Kohler was completely unaware and naturally did not see the sinister smile in the other person's eyes.
"Of course. Except for the smell of this place, everything else is very good. It's not a heavy job, it's just cleaning some to prevent clogging. It doesn't take long, and the salary is generous enough. There's nothing better than this job." If I could, I would keep doing it.”
Li Yi on the side heard it clearly and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.
These two guys are sewer cleaners!
This means that if there is a risk of garbage blocking waterways, they will be cleaned out.
Looking at the garbage flowing quietly along the waterway in front of him, Li Yi remained silent, but his heartbeat had already reached its peak.
When he looked at the garbage flowing down the river, his pupils suddenly shrank.
In the pile of rubbish with no clear meaning, he saw something he never wanted to see.
