Chapter 9: Meet Again

Yes, this shape is the main artery and its three branches, which are connected to the heart, and are the thickest blood vessels in the human body.

So, you don't care if Hannibal relied on his medical knowledge or if he often ate 'charcoal-grilled heart tubes', anyway, he immediately recognized the meaning of these lines.

Ziliang nodded: "Well, yes, this is the aorta...... It seems that this guy is much smarter than I thought, he saw me wearing a white coat, so he must have started with my profession, after all, except for doctors, few people can understand the meaning of this graffiti, so even if this dart is picked up by other people, they can't read it. ”

"Well, it's smart, but he told us about an aorta...... What does it mean to imply that he is waiting for us in a hospital somewhere? Quinn said.

Ziliang smiled: "No, he's talking about it...... Sewer. ”

......

If anything, there are any must-have facilities in a city...... That's probably the sewer. It connects every corner of the city, flowing beneath the faΓ§ade of abundance or poverty, like a vein hidden under the skin.

I don't know when the sewers seem to have become a place of criticism, and it is rightfully called foul, dirty, dark and so on.

Of course, there are also many people who like to whitewash these huge black and foul-smelling pipes......

For example, someone once said that sewers are the conscience of a city. Or maybe they were built to cleanse the filthy soul of man.

What's more, shouting all day long: 'Lao Tzu lives in the sewers, but still looks up at the starry sky every night', which is a bit embarrassing in the middle two.

But no matter what, judging from the style of this world, the arteries carved on this dart make Ziliang think of nothing else except the sewer.

So, ten minutes later, in the shadow of a bombed-out building, everyone lifted a manhole cover.

"Hey, can you still take your stomach away?" Shirley looked at old Joey who was stuck at the mouth of the sewer and rubbed her head and asked.

"I ...... At....... Step up your game. Old Joey replied with difficulty.

"Actually, if you agree with me to get a few stabs on your stomach, then I guarantee that you will be able to enter immediately, and afterwards, you will be able to recover with only two bandages." Quinn said.

"I ...... Refuse...... Break off! ”

Well, just like that, it took them 1 minute to solve the puzzle on the dart, and then it took 20 minutes to finally get old Joey into the sewer.

Inside the sewer.

As everyone thought, there was no light, and Billy had dug out a bombed-out phone booth from the rubble on the ground, then dismantled it, grabbed a few high-powered flashlights, and distributed them to the others.

And that almost mushy stench...... Hannibal pulled out something like chewing gum and claimed that if he chewed it in his mouth, he would ward off the stench.

Belch...... Even so, a few people refused to chew on it, presumably in their eyes that smelling the sewer was safer than eating what Hannibal handed them.

So without further ado...... The group took advantage of the light from the flashlight and headed towards the center of the city.

"Well, I'm not questioning you, but how do you know you're going downtown?" Shirley asked as she walked.

Ziliang took a cigarette in his mouth: "Actually, I don't know, but people say that it is the aorta, and they don't specifically mark anything, so naturally follow this thinking and go to the middle position." Besides, even if you make a mistake, that person will appear, in fact, you may not believe it, our every move now may be under the surveillance of that person. ”

Shirley looked around, but except for the circle of light from the flashlight, only a thick pitch black remained: "Uh, I don't like the feeling of being stared at...... But you haven't made it clear until now, who is this person in your mouth? ”

"Hehe, it's just a rich second generation, and this rich second generation may be the key to whether we can defeat other cosmic elements, or even superhumans."

......

The sewers were long, and there were no references other than stinking gutters and wet walls, so the group gradually lost sight of how long they had been walking.

However......

Just as everyone walked to an inconspicuous T-junction......

Suddenly, there were a few "clicks", which were the sound of bullets being loaded, coming from the shadows of the walls on both sides.

Immediately after, there was a voice: "Don't move!" ”

At this time, it happened to be at the juncture when everyone had been walking for a long time and the vigilance had completely relaxed, and because the light of the flashlight could not penetrate the wall, as long as the ambush was laid in advance on both sides of the T-junction, it was easy to restrain the passers-by.

And Ziliang and the others, yes, were caught in the head by these suddenly appeared muzzles.

"Put your hands up!" The voice came again.

Ziliang hesitated for a second....... It turned out that he really raised his hands slowly.

When the others saw this, they were all stunned, after all, how could Ziliang be threatened by a few guns...... But since he had raised his hands, the rest of the people didn't ask much, and they all raised their hands.

At this moment, in the shadows directly in front of him, a soldier came out.

The soldier was wearing a helmet and an explosion-proof suit, and he appeared to be well-armed.

And what's even more surprising is ...... On his chest, there is a huge [S] drawn!

"Hey, this seems a little different from what we thought." Quinn looked at this formation and couldn't help but say.

As soon as the words fell, more people came out of the shadows around them, one by one, all wearing the costumes of the Superman Government Army, and the muzzles of the guns in their hands were all aimed at Ziliang and the others, and after a while, they were firmly surrounded in the middle.

Well, this mutation is indeed a bit unexpected by everyone, they should have come to find Batman, but suddenly, they were surrounded by Superman's troops.

Is it an ambush?

Superman felt that there was no way to kill this group of people on the surface, so he designed to lure this group of people into the sewers, and then blow them up and bury them alive?

Well, if that's really the case, that's all it can say...... That's not bad......

And that's when ......

On the roof of the sewer, several huge lickers had climbed to the top of everyone's heads.

"Whew!!"

With an inhuman roar, a licker swooped down, pinning a soldier firmly to the ground.

", what the hell is this!"

Seeing such a terrifying monster suddenly appear, the crowd panicked at once, and all the muzzles of the guns turned to the licker almost at the same time, and then a series of shots rang out with a "da-da-da".

However, the bullet hit the evolved Licker. Most of the body is taken down by the outer layer of bone, so it doesn't play a big role. And with these gunshots, the remaining lickers also came out of the ceiling, or from the nearby shadows, and the dozen or so government troops were no match for these monsters at all, and the scene suddenly reversed.

And just as one of the lickers stuck out his terrifying tongue and wanted to pierce a soldier's head.

"Enough!" There was a shout, and it was a soldier in a helmet who shouted: "Stop, we are not enemies, this is just a temptation." ”

He shouted, and took off his helmet with difficulty.

Beneath the helmet was a very old man, with glasses, gray hair, and a face that was visibly wrinkled, and pale skin that had not seen the sun for a long time.

"We're not from the Superman government, we're rebels." The man continued: "I think we should be on one side...... Oh yes, my name is – Jim. Gordon. ”
