The sewers, which are damp and full of disgusting smells, are really not a place for humans to stay. Not only is the environment harsh, but the visibility is extremely dark. Acting in such an environment is a great psychological and physical test.
People are often afraid of the unknown, and being invisible is even more frightening.
The iron ladder in the sewer was rotted so badly by the humid environment and water vapor here that everyone had to try carefully. The creaking iron escalator caused a lot of psychological pressure on people. Fortunately, everyone succeeded in getting down. .
“This place stinks”
Xiao Jinzi found a searchlight and looked around. He found nothing wrong and said with a look of disgust.
"Okay, you won't be able to smell it after a while."
Ma Tao glanced at him, and then rummaged for his own lighting equipment. Among the five, Gao Han and Sister R did not need lighting equipment. Gao Han's night eyes allowed her to see better in dark places. Clear, as for Sister R, it is not needed at all, but in order to increase the illumination of the team, she also uses lighting equipment to ensure that the light is bright enough.
The place where they came down was indeed an electromechanical well. There was no water under the well, just a cement floor. When they came down, there were some wires that passed through the pipes buried at the well head. They were all old and peeling, and it was impossible to tell what they were for. of.
There is only one way to go in, just follow the sewer.
After advancing about seventy or eighty meters, they turned a corner and the real sewer appeared in front of everyone.
He was on the steps on the side of the sewer. On the left was a wall made of bricks. Looking at the stone bricks used to build the wall, you could tell that this place had been built for many years. Five people were walking along the sewer channel to build the building. On the embankment, the width is only five meters wide. The river below cannot be measured. After all, it is the sewer system of the entire city. It is estimated that it must be twenty or thirty meters wide. Ma Tao pointed at it with the lighting equipment in his hand. When I looked at the sewage water surface, which was too dark to see, I could see the wall on the opposite side, but I still couldn't see what was there. The only thing I could see was some sewer pipes that flowed into the main sewage river, but Ma Tao and the others Don't worry about those sewage outlets, because all the sewage outlets that merge into the main sewage river are blocked by iron fences. The iron fence is quite big and thick, at least as thick as an adult's arm. Some people believe it is an iron pillar.
The purpose of setting up these particularly thick iron railings is to prevent monsters from entering the sewage system along the river and entering the town. If they are not strong, the sewers will become a major hidden danger. Such a thick protective fence is probably even The elephant tank must have been stopped too.
There are all kinds of debris floating on the dark water, including domestic garbage, dead trees and rotten leaves, and the carcasses of some dead animals. There are many huge rats floating on the black and smelly water. When strange creatures appeared, they squeaked and fled in all directions. This kind of animal has a very strong sense of danger, because they are very timid, or they are said to be as timid as mice.
"Follow me. Here, I can see farther than you can illuminate with your lights."
Gao Han picked up the neutron cannon in his hand, checked every possible dangerous place and then said.
"Can"
Ma Tao didn't shirk at this time. Indeed, as Gao Han said, here, they are a burden.
The five people walked cautiously along the river, but the leather boots under their feet were particularly clear in this extremely delicate environment. Although everyone had paid great attention, it was still of no use.
No one can do anything about this. You can't take off your shoes and walk barefoot here. You can only keep your voice as low as possible.
After walking for a while, there was a gentle platform in front of us that allowed us to descend into the sewage river. There were also stairs, so we could just go down.
"Want to go down and take a look?"
Gao Han looked back at Ma Tao and wanted to ask his opinion. After all, he was the captain.
Ma Tao used the lighting device in his hand to shine a light around the platform. Except for some light reflected from the dark sewage river, there was nothing there.
There is a gentle platform in the sewer. It is estimated that this must have been a place to park boats in the past. After all, after the sewer system is built, people will come down regularly to clean it. Otherwise, the only means of transportation in this sewage river can only be boats. But now, where else can we stop? Seeing the shadow of the boat, it was estimated that it had sunk below, so Ma Tao had no intention of going over, and the five of them continued walking forward.
No one noticed that a series of small bubbles suddenly appeared in the dark sewage river water in front of the platform, and then there were more and more bubbles.
"what sound?"
Xiao Jinzi, who was walking forward, immediately stopped and listened carefully with his ears raised.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was not leaving, Ma Tao frowned, knowing that Xiao Jinzi would never stop for no reason. He must have discovered something.
"Shh~ Something is approaching us..."
Xiao Jinzi first stretched out a finger to make a gesture of speaking individually, then turned around with a serious face and looked at the dark place behind them.
"Nothing? Did you hear wrongly?"
Gao Han looked at the area behind her and found nothing, but she didn't doubt Xiao Jinzi's ability. This kid's ears saved everyone's life in Port Port, so she couldn't believe it.
"In the water……"
Xiao Jinzi stared at the darkness behind him, then suddenly his eyes changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the surface of the sewage river and reminded: "In the water!!!"
At this time, there was no need for Xiao Jinzi to remind him. The sound of bubbling water was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. Su Lanyu pulled out the sword from his back with a swish. Ma Tao and others also pointed their weapons at the turbid water. On the surface of the river, his eyes were fixed unblinkingly, but the sound of the continuous bursting of bubbles suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence again, as if nothing had happened. Only the four people were suppressing the heavy The sound of breathing kept coming.
"what?"
Su Lanyu asked.
"have no idea"
The other party didn't even show his face, so Xiao Jinzi couldn't tell everything just by listening to his voice.
"The voice disappeared. Did he leave?"
Gao Han scanned the calm sewage river, guarding against dangers that might appear at any time.
"should not……"
Xiao Jinzi closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while. Except for the normal movements of the big rats around him, he still couldn't hear any other suspicious movements.
"Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. Everyone should be careful..."
Ma Tao believed in Xiao Jinzi’s judgment. Before he finished speaking, the turbid and foul-smelling river surface
With a 'bang' sound, a figure suddenly jumped out of the water, and a sharp claw went straight towards the head of Su Lanyu who was holding the knife.
It was too late, but it was too soon. Su Lanyu was not an inexperienced person, so he had been on guard. When he saw this figure clawing at him, he blocked it with the sword in his hand, and the propeller on his arm briefly accelerated. The black shadow's sharpness The claws were on Su Lanyudu's titanium alloy steel knife.
With a clang, sparks flew, and the sword separated from the black shadow's claws. The claws of this thing were quite sharp, and they could actually go head-to-head with a titanium alloy knife.
The enemy appeared. Just as Ma Tao and others wanted to go over to help, there were two splashes on the water, and two more black figures came out of the water. One went straight to Sister R, who had nothing in her hand, and the other headed towards Li Li. Its nearest little gold struck the past.
"Careful, it's not one!!!"
When Ma Tao saw her, he felt that something bad was going to happen. He felt more at ease with Sister R. However, Xiao Jinzi's close combat ability was the weakest, and the opponent's attack on him was really a mistake.
The black shadow headed straight for Xiao Jinzi. At the critical moment, Gao Han's neutron cannon arrived first to support him.
With a 'sizzling' sound, a blue electromagnetic pulse ray hit the black shadow trying to attack Xiao Jinzi with lightning speed, directly beating it to a strange scream, giving up the attack and retreating to the shore. In the open space, the monster's voice was quite frightening, like a baby's cry, and it sounded even more eerie in the dark sewer environment.
After such an interruption, Xiao Jinzi took the opportunity to pull the trigger of the weapon at the figure. The large-caliber bullets of the flame cannon fired three bursts, but the black figure obviously had some wisdom and missed a single hit. After that, he didn't even stay in one place for too long. He relied on his agility and flexibility to frequently change positions on land, causing Xiao Jinzi's heel-chasing attack to fail.
At this time, my sister also successfully resisted the one that attacked her. The sneak attacks of the three black figures all failed, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry. Two were in front and one was behind, blocking Ma Tao respectively. Their paths forward and backward.
"Holy shit...it's really fake, isn't it..."
When the light from the lighting equipment was illuminated and he could clearly see the monster attacking him, Xiao Jinzi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"How can it be……"
Ma Tao's face was also full of shock and disbelief.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't these just three frogmen? They're just radiation mutated creatures."
Gao Han had never experienced the battle across the sea-crossing bridge, so she couldn't understand the expressions of Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi at this time. After seeing it, it was normal.
Su Lanyu had the same idea, but she didn't like words. Now that Gao Han asked, she looked at Ma Tao who was closest to her in confusion.
"Sister, please take your watch and scan it first to find out."
Xiao Jinzi looked at the monster in front of him that was covered in dark blue, carried a speargun launcher, and had a frog head on its head. The past was too painful to look back on.
"This is... what you have killed before... how is it possible?"
Gao Han immediately used his watch to quickly scan one of the monsters. It was nothing at first, but when he saw the line of small words below, he also showed an expression of disbelief, and his surprised flaming red lips almost turned into O But the egg can’t be stuffed in, it’s too small.
The display on the watch is very simple, just two words, water ghost. The small characters below are (to clear) and the information of the person who cleared it is marked next. Who is the Zongheng Team?
That’s right, these three monsters that came ashore from the sewage river in the sewer are water ghosts, and they are real water ghosts. The weapons in their hands, the clothes on their bodies, the familiar strange sounds, everything seems to be like It was the same as yesterday, but now, how could the water ghosts that had been wiped out by Ma Tao and the others appear here again alive, and there were three of them at once. This was simply unbelievable. If Ma Tao hadn't also looked at his watch, he would have doubted it. Was the one he killed originally a water ghost?
The turmoil in my heart cannot be described in words. Ma Tao knows the ability of this monster. It is difficult to deal with, possesses intelligence, and has many methods of attack. Ma Tao is also experienced in dealing with water ghosts.
"What should we do now?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the water ghost in front of him that kept changing positions and said,
"What else can I do? Just do it and it's over."
Regardless of whether the water ghost is a real ghost or a fake ghost, there is no way to resolve the matter today. This relationship has been settled at the cross-sea bridge in Seoul. After all, with monsters, what else is there to say.
"I'll count one, two, three. Let's find a way to kill one first..."
Staring closely at these three water ghosts that were moving and making bursts of creepy sounds, Ma Tao said with his back to Xiao Jinzi and Gao Han.
The three water ghosts seemed to be thinking about how to kill this group of humans who were more numerous than them. The strange screams with different tones seemed to be communicating in some way.
"one"
Ma Tao squeezed out this word through his teeth.
Everyone immediately grasped the weapons in their hands.
"two"
The three water ghosts seemed to have completed their tacit understanding.
"three"
As soon as Ma Tao finished speaking, everyone launched an attack at the same time.
The speed of the two neutron rays is the fastest. After all, no weapon can be faster than light.
Ma Tao and Gao Han had a tacit understanding at this moment, and they both chose to attack the same water ghost, and this water ghost was the same one that Gao Han had hit with his neutron cannon.
Pick the softest persimmons, and the wise sayings of taking advantage of your illness to kill you are always true. Use the fastest time to kill the enemy that is best to deal with. This is what Gao Han and Ma Tao thought of together.
The water ghost that had been shot with a neutron ray had a bloody hole in its shoulder. The blue blood of the water ghost was dripping out, and its offensive movements were also restricted to a certain extent. , although it had tried its best to dodge, it still could not escape the fate of death. It jumped and dodged Gao Han's shot, but it did not escape Ma Tao's attack. It was shot in the head and killed directly. The big toad-fish-like head was half-shattered. It fell to the ground with a clatter, twitched twice and then stopped moving. It was too dead to die anymore.
Ma Tao couldn't help but be stunned. Killing a water ghost so easily felt like something was missing, but what was missing? He couldn't remember it for a moment. When he said that it was not the time to think about it, there were two water ghosts behind him. Dealing with this one relieved a huge pressure.
On the other side, one of the rushing water ghosts was intercepted by Sister R, and the other was successfully blocked by Su Lanyu. Sister R relied on the hardness of her alloy to be unafraid of the water ghosts, while Su Lanyu relied on the sharpness of the sword in her hand. Her tenacity and the power support of the steel-suited mecha can barely compete with the water ghost. Without the power of the newly equipped power mecha, her strength is definitely no match for the water ghost, and she can only passively defend.
Xiao Jinzi, on the other hand, used the flame cannon in his hand to see the opportunity to attack the water ghost.
The only two remaining water ghosts were not weak in IQ. When they saw one of their companions die tragically in an instant, one of them opened its mouth so big that it could swallow an adult's head and spit it out at Sister R who was fighting with them in front of them. A puff of purple gas.
"Not good! Be careful of the poison."
Ma Tao quickly reminded.
It's not that I'm afraid that Sister R will be poisoned, but I'm worried that others will be eroded by the poisonous gas.
Sure enough, my sister didn't care about the brightly colored gas that enveloped her head. She punched the water ghost's big toad fish head, and there was a "bang" sound, and the punch hit it hard. , directly sending the water ghost flying several meters away.
The purple poisonous gas spread throughout the sewer, and an unpleasant orangutan smell instantly spread in the air. Fortunately, although it is a sewer and the air is stagnant, the space is indeed large enough. Although this poisonous gas is permeating Soon, everyone had to inhale some,
The water ghost fighting Su Lanyu on the other side did not get any benefits. Su Lanyu, who was wearing a power mecha and was skilled in swordsmanship. With the blessing of the steel armor, he had already used the sword in his hand to attack the water ghost. There were many deep cuts on the body. At this moment, blue blood was flowing all over the body of the water ghost, but there were no fatal injuries.
The water ghost suddenly dodged and took out the spear gun behind it. Su Lanyu swiped the water ghost with his sword and thought he had forced the water ghost back. When he saw that it had distanced itself from him, he did not pay attention to the water ghost's preparations. The hand holding the speargun.
"careful!!!"
Ma Tao came to support and happened to see this scene. Seeing that the water ghost had taken out the spear gun, Ma Tao had no time to think about it and could only push Su Lanyu aside with all his strength. Su Lanyu was still unconscious at this time. After finding out what happened, he was very surprised by Ma Tao's shouting. It wasn't until the black-brown speargun of the water ghost pierced Ma Tao's abdomen and directly sent Ma Tao flying out that Su Lanyu understood what had just happened.
She really didn't expect that the water ghost who had been suppressed by her had such a powerful attack method.
The power of the water ghost's spear gun can penetrate the armor of the tank. Ma Tao knows it, but Gao Han doesn't know that this kind of monster is one of the rare species with life-saving skills. Those who have not experienced it will definitely suffer big losses. .
"Brother Tao!!!"
"Ma Tao!!!"
Gao Han and Xiao Jinzi were immediately anxious. At this time, there was no one around the water ghost that seriously injured Ma Tao. It was the best time to kill it with long-range firepower. Xiao Jinzi's eyes were red, and the flame cannon in his hand fired continuously. He launched a free-for-nothing bombardment against the water ghost, and Gao Han also cooperated with him to kill the monster with all his strength.
The firepower of the flame cannon and the neutron cannon intertwined, and the water ghost was cut into pieces by random shots.
When Sister R saw that Ma Tao had been hit by the water ghost's spear gun and was now unsure of his life or death, she immediately stopped holding back and immediately entered into combat mode. She hit the water ghost she was dealing with on the chin and half of the toad fish's head with one full blow. Shattered, the body of the water ghost that was not completely dead fell into the dirty sewage river with a plop. Soon, it floated up again, but at this time, the water ghost was already on the verge of death, and there was no Even if it struggles for strength, it can only float up and down with the waves of the sewage river. The only thing it can do is to open its mouth and weakly let out its strange cry like a child. The voice is so weak that it is almost inaudible.
Su Lanyu stared blankly at Ma Tao, who was shot seven or eight meters away by the spear gun, without saying a word for several seconds. It was not until Xiao Jinzi and Gao Han killed the water ghost that injured Ma Tao that Su Lanyu came to his senses. He hurriedly ran to Ma Tao's side.
"you……"
Looking at the dark brown speargun stuck in Ma Tao's lower abdomen, Su Lanyu felt mixed emotions at the moment. Tears instantly moistened her eyes. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Brother! Brother! How are you?"
After settling the battle, Xiao Jinzi rushed to Ma Tao like crazy, looking at the deeply pierced speargun and the blood seeping out of it with a trembling tone, he was completely at a loss.
"Where's the injury?"
Gao Han, who also came to Ma Tao, had already begun rummaging through his backpack to find ginseng potion.
"Little V, please hold on."
My sister also started to look for gauze and disinfectant items in her backpack.
The water ghost came out of the sewage river. There must be countless bacteria on its body, and its weapons must be the same. Although the medicine has a sterilizing effect, the disinfection facilities are also necessary to avoid affecting wound healing. .
"I'm fine...the golden armor inside is broken..."
Ma Tao fell to the ground and covered the place where he was stabbed by the speargun with his hands. He was already sweating profusely in pain. He was really in pain. His lower abdomen was the softest place. Even a kick would be fatal. What's more, now that he was stabbed by a speargun with amazing power, it was even more painful, as if his internal organs were cramping.
"Please bear with me for a moment, and I'll pull out the speargun for you."
After Gao Han found the ginseng potion, he looked at the spear gun that pierced the steel suit mecha in Ma Tao's belly and said to her.
"bring it on……"
Ma Tao, who was sweating coldly, nodded, closed his eyes and said.
Gao Han was also neat and tidy. As soon as Ma Tao closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to pull out the speargun, but as soon as his hand touched the place where the speargun's steel armor was pierced, blood immediately oozed out. The blood came.
"No, you can't pull it out like this, leave it to me."
Sister R immediately stopped Gao Han when she saw it and continued: "Spearguns are different from ordinary arrows. In order to prevent the target from escaping easily, spearguns have barbs. Once they are shot into the body, the barbs will Stretching it out and pulling hard will tear the wound."
There are records about these in Sister R's system, so she stopped Gao Han from pulling out the spear gun.
