Chapter 366: Plague City (Part II)
Through the secret passages found at every inspection station, Franconia and the others finally arrived at the destination of their trip, the plague cage Morrag.
"It's a miserable ......"
Since childhood, it has been in normal human society...... The most unfortunate ones were just a few little guys who grew up in the countryside and were immediately frightened by the tragic scene in front of them.
Probably because of the recent rain, the ground is full of pools of water that are not much better than the mountain road, and some cockroach-like creatures can be seen swimming busily in it.
The narrow neighborhood is filthy, and the ground is littered with all kinds of garbage and excrement. The disgusting stench attracted a lot of flies, which were almost catching up with the known flies flying with a noisy buzzing sound, leaving their mark on the garbage and droppings, and the white-flowered, wriggling offspring.
And in these harsh conditions, it is human beings who are in the garbage.
Skinny, covered in mud, with dull eyes, and hair that has long since become mottled due to the harsh environment, Kamiyu and Kamiyu are two different species of creatures.
But they are indeed human.
Of course, there are dead people.
At least Dorothy, who was sitting on Kamiyu's shoulders, saw two children about her age, sitting on their knees under a bamboo mat full of holes, presumably sheltering from the rain. Behind them was the corpse of a woman who had decomposed to the point where she could not see her original face.
That must be their mother.
Kamiyu and the others are not little creatures who have no knowledge at all - in fact, they have been running around with Xiwei for a long time in half a year. In terms of knowledge, it may be higher than the ninety percent of the civilians in the Eastern Plains.
Not only that, but they have also experienced all kinds of hardships, and their minds should have honed their fortitude.
But this kind of perseverance was easily broken by the tragic scene in front of him.
Maybe it's too early for the dean to let them do this kind of grinding.
Francon, who was secretly observing a few little guys, thought to himself.
"Put away your sympathy, now we have other tasks."
Because Kamiyu and the others were already in a state of shock, Franconia had to remind them loudly.
They talk through their student or teacher credentials, so they don't need to be too loud for a few other people to hear.
"But, but the professor ......" Riddle, who was sitting on Tannis's shoulder, felt his mouth dry and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. The feeling of being stuck in his throat was very uncomfortable for him.
"Are we really going to leave these poor people alone?" Dorothy looked at the two children a few more times and said unbearably.
"So what do you want? Bring them with you. And then what? There are nearly 400,000 people in Molagri. This is still the number of people who drowned in the underground water system in the past few years, do you want to take these poor people with the source of the epidemic out of the city, spread the disease to other human beings, and finally everyone will perish together? β
Franconia's words left them speechless.
"Don't think about it. We can't save these poor people. But at least we can make this world not continue to give birth to new poor people. β
That's it. Franconia headed west, where Morag's water, the Mohrasi River, had been planted.
Tannis and Riddle's group followed with little hesitation, while Camillo and Dorothy's group hesitated. only to keep up with Franken's back.
The protective suit of Morag's guards is still quite intimidating. When they came to the main road, Francon and his party were almost all avoided, even if the two guards disguised as four little guys looked quite strange, no one dared to take a second look......
You can see how powerful these guys are in Morag.
Franconian was happy that no one bothered him, and continued to give the four little ones some common sense to Morag.
"According to some of the merchants, there are now two powerful forces in the city, apart from the Morag guards, who are known to the inhabitants as the Lord of the White City. They are the ruler on the surface, the 'windmills' inherited from the old administration, and the 'Black River', which is formed by the merger of several underground organizations and rules the dark side of Morag. β
After swearing allegiance to Sivi, Franken has been researching to crack the source of the plague, and at the same time collecting information about Morag through various methods to prevent him from being blacked out when he comes in, being cheated and counting money for others.
Now, apart from the merchants who have business ties to Morag, there are probably not many people in Morag who know the plague city better than him.
"I think the city's very existence is dark enough......"
Because the situation on the main road is much better than in the small alley, Kamiyu now has the leisure to complain.
"I don't deny it." Franken didn't say anything about Camillo's words: "But I'm talking about the dark side more of casinos, underground banks, black boxing tournaments, and prostitution halls and the like." People who live in depression need these things more to vent. As far as I know, Heihe has also dabbled in some things that are expressly forbidden by the earthly realm. β
A few little ones were silent.
As they spoke, a small river appeared in front of them, which was not particularly wide, and the water was faintly black, and from where they were, they could see the remains of some buildings at the bottom of the river......
"The source of the plague did not affect the shape of the river in the first place, which is why the plague spread so widely in the first place. After the murderer died, the river began to turn black little by little, which is also the source of the name of the black river. In addition, it is only a tributary, which is supposed to be left over from the eruption of the underground water system like a flash flood a few years ago. As far as I know, nearly a quarter of Morag's land was submerged as a result of that disaster. β
A slight commotion began to be heard in the nearby neighborhood, and it gradually began to move closer to this side.
Francon, on the other hand, looked at the black river and said in a tone without any ups and downs: "If you follow this river, you will find the main road of the Mohs Lassi River." However, the river is quite wide in the records, and it may be better to have a local who is familiar with the terrain as a guide...... For example......"
Speaking of this, as soon as the skeleton mage's hand stretched out, he grabbed a man who had run out of the block, intending to cross the black river that was not wide, and ran to the opposite side.
"Like this guy who is good at running away."
As the neighborhood came out, 'Don't run! ''Chase! The man in Franken's hand struggled desperately, but it still didn't workβthe mage's hand of a high-level mage plus the secondary confinement technique was not so easy to break free.
At this time, several people in uniform chased after them from the block panting, and the four-colored triangle on the uniform meant that they were members of the windmill, but these guys who usually had eyes above the top saw the protective suit on Franken's body, and the anger on their faces instantly dissipated, turning into a flattering pinch.
"It's worthy of being the master of Baicheng, and he caught this guy all at once." One of the guys, who looked like an officer, rubbed his hands together and patted his ass.
"Go about your business, I've taken this guy down."
At this moment, Franken's tone, which did not change his tone, became quite intimidating, and several members of the windmill immediately did not dare to stay longer, and ran away with oil on the soles of their feet...... (To be continued......)
