Chapter 14: Zuan in the Haze
Half an hour later. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
Su Yun walked out of the bathroom of the underground barracks in Noxus somewhere in Zuan, dressed up, dried his hair with the hair dryer in the coat of arms, and then spread out a standard map in front of him.
This map depicts the details of the underground world of Zu'an in detail, and after Su Yun found a route out on the map, he left this underground barracks.
An hour later.
Dressed in a black cloak, Svein, the commander of Noxus, stood at the door of Zaun's underground barracks with a gloomy face.
The strong smell of blood emanating from the barracks caused several soldiers behind him to vomit on the spot.
Compared to the last time, Svein is obviously older, and has become the standard image in League of Legends, his legs are also lame, his skin has become pale, and his hair has fallen out a lot, except for the crow on his shoulder.
Svein stepped forward, lifted his cane, picked open the corpse of the soldier who had stopped at the door, and walked inside.
Inside the barracks, the bodies of all the soldiers lay intact, except that their heads had all been blasted into blood and smeared on the surrounding walls.
Ignoring the tragic deaths of the soldiers, Svein walked straight inside.
Walking to the battalion commander's room in the barracks, an officer in green armor collapsed on the table.
This is a high-ranking officer from the Lesser garrison, who was sent by Svein to inspect here temporarily, but he didn't expect to die here.
Ignoring the death of the senior officer, Svein looked behind the senior officer of the Lesser garrison, and on the wall behind him, a line of words was smeared with blood.
"Svein, I'm Carlos back"
The muscles on Svein's face twitched a few times, and the appearance of a young man came to mind, the young man from the Ionian magical family, who had broken the game he had set up in the abyss of corruption and caused trouble in the imperial capital of Noxus.
After many years, this young man actually appeared again, and as soon as he appeared, he gave him such a "big gift".
Although there are not many people in this underground barracks, there are definitely a lot of them, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the authority of Noxus in a chaotic place like the underground world of Zuan.
Along the way, all the soldiers he saw were dead in one way, that is, their heads exploded and died, which showed that the murderer was the same person.
This kind of existence that can single-handedly pick up a barracks by one person is already at the level of a general. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
The high-ranking officer of the Rayser garrison who fell in front of him died a little differently, he was also killed by a headshot, but there were extremely strong energy fluctuations left around him, and Svein, who studied magic, could see at a glance that such strong magic fluctuations had only been seen in the evil little mage Vega, who had made trouble in the imperial capital of Noxus.
Although the magic fluctuations remaining here at this moment were not as strong as the dark fluctuations on the little mage's body, they were at least beyond the level he could match, a power that was already close to the gods.
Svein gently stroked the broken stones that turned into white crystals in the ruins with his fingers, and said with a pale face: "Go into a state of alert, gather all our men in Zu'an, if there is anything abnormal, report to me immediately, and immediately transfer the elite team guarded by Lesser over."
"But the elite squad guarded by Rayser is my Noxus.
"Less nonsense," Svein interrupted him rudely, "Transfer it to me, it's an order"
"Yes"
Hearing the word "order", he suddenly instinctively became serious.
Su Yun walked out of one of the sewers in Zu'an and slowly crawled out.
At this moment, it was night in Zu'an, there was rain in the sky, and when I looked up, the sky was filled with a layer of faint green, like a huge cover, enveloping the entire Zu'an inside.
This is the poisonous fog that envelops Zu'an all year round, and the city has discharged so much waste water underground, so naturally it will also emit exhaust gases into the sky, but fortunately, most of these exhaust gases will escape, and will not accumulate in the ground like wastewater, so there will be no such thing as a gas version of the source of the plague.
However, even if the exhaust gas will escape, there will be some alchemy exhaust gases with special properties, which will always permeate the surroundings of Zu'an City.
The entire city of Zu'an is shrouded in this green poisonous gas, although the toxicity of this poisonous gas is not very high, but it can still cause some chronic diseases if inhaled all year round.
It is precisely for this reason that most of Zu'an's alchemy research institutes are built underground, or tall mage towers are built to protect and isolate them from the layers of poisonous mist.
The accumulation of poisonous fog is thicker and thicker the closer to the ground, and those who live at the bottom of Zu'an can only run on the ground all day wearing gas masks, living in dwellings shrouded in poisonous fog, eating food grown in the poisonous fog, drinking contaminated water, and exchanging their health for higher rewards.
In Zu'an, a low-level coolie can earn ten times as much money a year as in other cities
It is precisely because the ground is the place of the people at the bottom that Zuan can also be called an underground city, and the part above ground is only the slum of Zuan, or a few mage towers, and the real core of Zuan is all built underground.
Even the towering mage towers in the city have underground bases that go deep underground, and there are even more laboratories under the ground than those on the ground, and they are even larger, compared to the mage towers above the ground, which are more just symbolic meanings.
Su Yun came to the ground, not because he didn't know the structure of Zu'an's city, but because the connector for this mission was an alchemist from a mage tower.
Most of the mage towers must be entered from above the ground, and around the underground bases of the major mage towers, there are dense protections, and Su Yun doesn't want to break in, so he can only enter the inside of the mage tower from the ground.
Alchemists do not all live underground, and those alchemists who do not go underground and like to live in the mage tower generally have two situations, one is that they do not like the dark environment underground, and the second is to save costs.
The soil near Zu'an is heavily polluted, and it is necessary to build a very strong and corrosion-resistant partition wall to build a laboratory underground, compared to the laboratory in the mage tower on the ground, the cost of use is relatively low.
However, the alchemist that Su Yun is going to meet this time is a big man, he is naturally not the kind of alchemist who can't afford to build an underground research room, he has been living on the ground because of his own personal reasons, and as for the reason why he lives on the ground, there are also different opinions.
The architectural style of Zaun is very distorted, at least from the above-ground buildings, and this is also due to the fact that most of the important buildings in Zaun were built underground.
The buildings underground, on the other hand, do not have an architectural style, so Zuan feels like a dilapidated town, and although there are a few towering mage towers that are grand and exquisite, except for the mage towers, the rest of the place is a few crooked and tattered buildings.
These buildings are naturally the places where those people on the ground live in, they are in disrepair, and the surface of the buildings has traces of green poisonous fog corrosion, and it looks like the crumbling crooked building next to it may fall down in the next second.
When Su Yun crawled out of the sewer, it was the middle of the night, Su Yun used his mental power to separate himself from the surrounding rain, and then identified the direction, took out the Zu'an map that had been prepared a long time ago from the Doomsday Emblem, and began to look for his location and the location of his destination.
Zaun has no direct streets, their houses are built everywhere, and even a building can be built with broken wooden planks and rotten iron sheets in the middle of the road, and the managers of Zaun have never carried out urban planning on the ground, they only plan the layout of the underground pipes and the distribution of laboratories, and they have no interest in the planning of these slums, allowing them to grow wildly.
So Su Yun saw a lot of houses built with alchemy, a pile of garbage was forcibly put together by alchemy, and a three-story small building was erected, and the walls were engraved with magic runes, and it could be seen that as soon as the time limit of these magic runes arrived, this small building would fall apart, and it would have to be rebuilt at that time.
There are also some dwellings dug out of the garbage mountain, which are also very distinctive.
For example, Su Yun saw a building like this, where the poor people found the carriage of a carriage in the garbage mountain, covered it with some rags, and glued some dirt to it to make it a homeless man's nest, or found a sturdy box inside, and could lie in it as a place to live.
The garbage mountain is full of alleys dug out by homeless people, and the people who live in the garbage mountain climb in and out of the corridors like rats walking through the garbage
The rain poured on the garbage heap, giving off a bad smell, but those people were unaware, sitting on the garbage and nibbling on the dark bread, talking to each other, working, some alchemical waste was washed by the rain to produce a corrosive effect, snorting in the garbage heap, and the poisonous gas was freely spread in the crowded streets.
It is difficult for those who witnessed this scene to imagine that this is the place where the alchemy technology of the entire Runeout Land is the most developed, and it is difficult to imagine that this is actually the city where the alchemy culture of the Runetera Land is the most prevalent
Opposite these mountains of garbage are the towers of the mages in the distance, which are beautifully repaired and architecturally reminiscent of the royal courtyards of Noxus, and around these towers, you can see a number of magical golems patrolling in arrays.
The gorgeous mage tower is in stark contrast to the garbage mountain not far away, those scrawny bottom coolies, while eating the scraps and cold burning, while looking up at the towering mage tower not far away, looking up at the delicate and intricate carvings on the mage tower, in a daze.
Su Yun didn't have the time to care about all kinds of chaotic phenomena in the city, except for the slaves who were escorted over, the low-level coolies in the city all came here to work for ten times the salary, they didn't have shackles on their feet, but they had shackles in their hearts, always thinking about struggling for more time in this polluted city and earning more money to go back.
Su Yun walked along the street to the tallest mage tower in the entire city, only to see circles of magic puppets guarding the door, these magic puppets are made of black stones, fine workmanship, exquisite technology, seeing Su Yun approaching, they all turned their heads and faced Su Yun.
