Chapter 22: The Underground Regiment

Mr. Slippery soon left the place with Marina and the others. When they moved away from the broken hole, the voices of people behind them were still in their ears.

"What's the matter with those people?" asked Ekop, a look of displeasure on his face. "Even in this kind of place, they are too ......"

"Too rude?" Hatchet continued, laughing a few times, "That means you really don't know about rat roads, and you don't know about sewers." ”

Eko raised his eyebrows, looking unpleasant and puzzled, "Why?" Marina also spoke, "Those people acted collectively, I thought the underground wouldn't be so lively." ”

"It's going to be more lively, it's just that you can't see it. "You probably don't know that these people on the ground are members of the underground group. ”

The underground group, whether it was Ekor or Marina, had heard of the term for the first time. But Glacifixion seemed to lose interest in continuing to explain to the two of them, and called out to Lulunaka, who was following Marina, "It's time for you to do your job, little girl, I don't have so much saliva to waste." ”

Lulunaka blinked when she heard the Shortaxe call her, "I've heard of the underground regiment too, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today." ”

"That's enough. "Since you are also a resident of the Rat Path, it is impossible that you have not heard of the Underground Regiment. ”

Lulunaka nodded, looking up at Marina beside her, "There are scavengers, adventure squads, and fools like me who almost went to the sewers alone...... And then, in places like sewers, there are also large-scale dispatches to solve things that no one else can solve. The underground group is such a existence. ”

"Fix those things?" said Eko, remembering the corpse of a small creature he had just seen there. It wouldn't be a child, and it was definitely not human, but there were a lot of them, and they looked like they had come out of that hole. What the hell is that?

"Little Fang, some say it was an underground dweller from a long, long time ago, because they lived deep in the sewers, and they ended up like that. Gnomes, dwarves......" Lulunaka paused as she spoke, "maybe it was once human." ”

It was a bit difficult for two people from the earth to put the human form on those little fangs.

"Looks a lot like little devils. "But little devils don't come in droves like that. ”

"Who knows. Lulunaka smiled, "Thanks to the people of the underground group, if it weren't for them, if no one took care of that hole, the area around here would probably be inaccessible for a while...... Those little fangs will run around, hiding in places you wouldn't imagine, sneaking up on you when you let your guard down. ”

"They're just getting paid to do things. "As long as those little fangs add a little bit of the chassis, more little fangs will appear, and God knows how they reproduce...... Without the underground mass, the sewers would be inaccessible and even the rat tunnels would be implicated. But when dealing with those ugly little things, there will always be casualties. I admire them. ”

Shortaxe is not the kind of person who speaks good words easily, but he has good things to say about the underground group.

"Is that why you gave them money?" Marina asked.

"It's a custom of our rat path. "These people come together, at least they don't do the work of robbers, and they make the sewers a lot cleaner...... Everyone who can meet the underground group in the sewer still has to give this meaning, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for the residents of the rat road. ”

Eko was speechless for a moment, and after a long moment he replied, "You are still so reserved." ”

Ekou's words actually had a bit of a sarcasm in them, but the dagger just grinned and didn't care, "Live in the rat lane, make a living in the sewers...... What could be more precious than life? It might be money, but it's definitely not face. If you want to live longer, just remember my words, little master, or stay away from the rat path and the underground. ”

Eko just frowned and didn't say anything more.

Marina remembered the faces of the people who had wrapped herself tightly, and the eyes of them. The man who came to them, his eyes could not see the light even in the firelight, only pitch black. "The underground group, the people...... Is it just for the money?"

"There are indeed people who join the underground group for money. "In the Underground Regiment, there is nothing to be commended except for being well-paid and well-equipped. ”

"Isn't that good enough?"

Lulunaka shook her head, "The Underground Regiment has discipline, and it belongs only to them, and it must be followed even in the Rat Path. And that discipline doesn't make it easy for them to get by. Maybe they'll die in the next moment in the underground somewhere, and all they get is a decent pay, which is left to their families or some people. ”

In the place where there were battles above the scale, there were indeed some people who fell, and there were some people who were still alive, but it seemed that they would not be able to fight again, and perhaps their lives would be in question.

"I've been in the underground group before. "Chris, who was in front of you, too, but we couldn't stand this life and left." It's better for people to live a little freer, if they can't even save their own lives, then there is no point in making more money. ”

Axe's words surprised both Eko and Marina slightly, "You've been in that underground group before." Eko said.

"It's not an underground mass in this area. "It's an underground group in another area, but I haven't been back for a long time, there will always be people who know me, and I don't want to be treated with white eyes." How far away is it. ”

It seems that both Mr. Slippery Head and Mr. Little Cloak have their stories, but probably no one will be able to hear the past from their mouths, and no one here will have such curiosity. Lulunaka may be one, but she's a little mouse now, and she can't behave too unusually. A little girl should look like a little girl, timid, weak, and well-behaved...... That's enough.

Lulunaka is still very confident in her acting skills, and although it is awkward not to be able to express her true self many times, it is also very interesting. It's just a pity that she can't say something too outrageous to Hatchet, such as "It's better to live a little freer", and she would love to say to Mr. Slippery, "That's just your delusion". Not being able to tell the truth to her teammates is not free, but not fun, for Lulunaka.
