559 Monsters underground
The rebel army in the capital of hell, although all of them were converted from citizens, were not completely mindless.
The road signs left by the rebels indicated the road in the order of "anti-positive-reverse": the first one indicated the opposite direction, the second was the correct direction, and the third was wrong...... And so on.
In this case, Lin Chi naturally focused on observing the road signs, without a trace of slackness. He knew very well that as long as he made a mistake once, his previous efforts would be in vain, and he would have to find the entrance and start again. And......
"We've got to hurry." Lin Chi looked at the old watch he had scavenged from the patrol on his wrist, and the expression on his face became solemn.
According to the information provided by the corpse demons, the sewage in the city of Khoromantsk is stored in several large cesspools and drained at the specified time, and the drainage time in this area is 9 o'clock in the morning, and it is now 8:40 a.m.
If you don't find the rebels' hideout within twenty minutes, you and Jane will be swallowed up in the surging sewage, and then ...... was swept all the way to nowhere.
"Follow me." Lin Chi quickened his pace as he spoke, and continued to follow the inconspicuous road sign with Jane.
"You seem to ...... Very skillful looks. Jane whispered.
"Maybe it's a curse." Lin Chigan laughed a few times.
- He had fought the "Valkyries" in the sewers; Fight the maids of the royal armor in the drains; Escape from the "nurse" in the underground pipes of the hospital...... If you think about it carefully, it seems that you have to go underground every time, and if you have an achievement such as "sewer professional", you will definitely get it directly.
However, in order to avoid being washed away by sewage, there is no time to think about these inconsequential issues.
Walking in the closed drainage pipe, perhaps because of the lack of oxygen in the brain, Lin Chi felt dizzy, there was no light in the depths of the pipe, and the night vision device he "borrowed" from the patrol captives came in handy.
Time passed minute by minute, and time was running out for him. Seeing that there were less than five minutes left before the drainage time, Lin Chi also quickened his pace again, taking Zhen's hand and walking quickly through the dark passage.
Then, around the corner in front of him, he heard a screeching metal friction sound:
"Whoa!"
The sound was like scratching the blackboard with a fingernail, which made Lin Chi feel physically uncomfortable. Even before he could see what was on the other side of the pipe, he could already feel a wave of heat coming from the other side of the corner.
- What is it?
Listening to the piercing friction sound, an ominous premonition slowly rose in Lin Chi's heart, and when he was about to open his backpack and take out his weapon, a hoarse whisper suddenly sounded close at hand:
"Come in!"
Lin Chi turned his head violently to look at the location where the sound came from, only to see that on the originally solid pipe wall, there was a big hole that could allow adults to pass through at some point, he hurriedly rushed in with Zhen, and just entered the area on the outside of the pipe, and the cement pipe behind him was closed again.
“……”
Witnessing the superpowers used by the other party, Lin Chi was not too surprised, he just took off the night vision device and looked at the area he was in with the help of the light of the incandescent light above his head.
It was a small, square room, surrounded by dusty concrete walls, and was littered with miscellaneous items, including weapons and ammunition, as well as fast food and boxes of drinking water. The round holes in the walls are like vents.
However, unlike a normal hideout, there are no beds or chairs in this room, and there seems to be no place for people to rest.
As for why this is so, the reasons are already obvious:
"Are you from the rebels?" A hoarse male voice sounded from the wall: "I haven't seen you before, but since I've found this place, I must have gotten the information, right?" ”
"It was introduced by the corpse demon." Lin Chi nodded, looking at the wall that made the sound.
There wasn't any sound device on the wall, and there was no camera or anything like that, and the other party didn't seem to be talking to him remotely, plus the weird ability to control the wall just now. Other words......
"You're one with the wall here?" Lin Chi asked.
"yes, you're the quickest to accept that fact." The muffled voice in the wall smiled: "The members of the rebel army who came here for the first time were all startled by me. ”
As if seeing the frightened look on Jane's face, the man in the wall comforted, "Don't worry, I'm the 'stone wall' in charge of this secret hideout, and there are autonomous robots patrolling this abandoned pipe area. But now that you're here, you're safe. ”
- This is what the corpse demon calls a "liaison"?
Finally learned the truth about this place, Lin Chi sighed with emotion: "Still have this ability? ”
"yes, are you interested?" The "man" in the wall seemed to be a little excited, and chattered, "Do you want to know how I got to be like this?" It's a long story......"
"I want to hear about it." Lin Chi nodded.
He could see that this guy who could control the cement wall should only be able to move around this area, and it was naturally extremely lonely to stay alone in this kind of ghost place for a long time.
Because of this, when a guest comes, the other party immediately becomes a chatterbox, and can't wait to chat with the guest:
"I was originally a worker, in charge of the construction of the Kholomansk sewers."
A dull sound sounded in the walls, followed by a strange rattling sound, as if something was struggling to move through the walls: "The incineration agency asked us to dig an extra area in the center of the drain, saying that we wanted to preserve something......"
Thinking of the rumor that "there is a god altar hidden underground" mentioned by the corpse demon, Lin Chi immediately asked, "What is it that is kept?" ”
"I don't know." The alien creature hidden in the wall continued to explain in a dull voice: "We just dug up a clearing in accordance with the instructions, and then we were strafed by the soldiers, when I was shot in the chest and passed out, and when I woke up again, I found that I had become like this......"
"So you were alienated to save your life?" Lin Chi whispered.
The soldiers here are all AK guns, and the unsuspecting worker is shot in the chest, and it is impossible for him to survive, and the reason why this worker has become like this should also be due to alienation.
As expected, the workers in the walls quickly replied in the affirmative:
"Yes, when I woke up again, I found that my body was lying on the ground, and the incineration mechanism should have buried our bodies directly in the ground and sealed them with cement."
"I don't know why I'm 'resurrected', but when I woke up, I found that I could sense the outside world through the walls and even make sounds."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Jane shook her head, bit her lip and muttered, "It's impossible to ...... at all"
"Little girl, anything can happen here." The monster hidden in the walls laughed: "Welcome to the capital of hell!" ”
