Chapter 16: The Seekers of Operation Rain and Fog (Part II)

"Gesai, can you still find the right way forward now?"

In the gloomy sewer, Gu Wu, who had just begun to explore, opened his mouth to ask about the kind behind him, after all, the passage in front of him looked very complicated, and if he walked around, he would definitely get lost, and it would greatly reduce the efficiency of his work.

As a member of this operation, Gesai, who also wanted to solve the problem, did not answer immediately, she seemed to be staring ahead, and only gave an ambiguous reply after a while.

"I've been here once before, when my sister and I had not been separated for a long time, and I remember that there were their specially marked symbols around the corners of the passages...... I don't see those symbols in this area, though, so I can't give a definite indication and ...... Sister, they may have changed the way they give directions, so my experience won't be useful. ”

"Uncertainty, in that case, the only way to move forward is to rely on intuition; However, judging from the general setting, there are not many places in the sewer that are barely suitable for living, and the intersection of the passages is one of them. ”

After all, the rest of the sewers are not very wide, except for the area where the passages meet, which will be wider enough to hold the necessary things.

So based on this reason, Gu Wu let the nimble Louise take the lead, and when she encountered problems, she was able to avoid them by surpassing the speed of humans, while she and others followed behind Luise.

Occasionally, droplets of water could be heard dripping from the sewers, and the strangely smelly air seemed to dispel the dampness outside, burrowing into everyone's noses one by one.

Before the action, the originally clear sky outside was instantly filled with dark clouds, and Gu Wu thought that it would not be long before a heavy rain would hit vigorously, and I was afraid that these gentle currents in the sewers would turn into torrents.

"Why do they live in such a place? If you have power, why don't you want to find a way to get to the top? Why not improve your environment? ”

Halfway through, Altaïr approached Gesaisi to ask the question.

"Why don't you do that? Because it takes a huge price to integrate into the human world, that's why I want to escape from the human ......."

Hearing this answer, Gu Wu clearly realized that the mew species in this world were very different from the mew species in the comic world.

In the comics, some of the meows have a high status, great power, and strong appeal in the human world, and thanks to this, humans cannot annihilate the meows that feed on humans in one fell swoop, and the two sides maintain a delicate balance until the day of collapse.

And the meows of this world obviously belong to the category that is just starting out, and they see humans as mere food, which means that they will not fit into it casually.

Gesaixi's meow group is moderate, only trying to buy 'food' and steal 'food', while the other faction, led by Gesaixi's sister Gesel, is keen to hunt humans and exclude dissidents.

Although these were all Gu Wu's guesses, he didn't think that his ideas would seem extreme.

"As long as you have great power, even in the modern world, you can achieve your goals, and you powerful meows are not the kind of beings that are easily oppressed."

"That's right...... Miss Altaïr's analysis is correct, we are not as numerous as humans, but we are not inferior to humans in everything else. ”

Gesaishi agreed with Altaïr, but she didn't finish her remarks after she finished speaking.

"But some things can never be hidden, and people don't all want to work with each other; If there is an excessive predation that leads to a large number of missing people and an increase in victims, no matter what you do, you will be treated as a monster. ”

Therefore, instead of mixing in the human world, it is their choice to break away from the human world and maintain a minimum of connection.

Kindness...... Sure enough, the system just applied the setting of the mew seed, and did not let them embrace a great ideal like the mew seed in the comics.

Gu Wu didn't hate people who had a goal, but if the goal was wrong, Gu Wu was willing to help them.

Mews are aliens, but in this world, they can also live a life that is no different from that of humans.

"You've put too many restraints on yourself, Gesaichi."

Gu Wu followed Luise forward as he spoke, and when he saw the spider crawling over the wall, he picked up what he had just said

"As an alien species, you also have the opportunity to change your fate, you and your companions are both members of this world in my opinion, and they are inhabitants under my management, if you cooperate with me, the basic security is no problem."

"Cooperation? What are you trying to do? ”

"What to do? Should it be said to be a test? There's a world where it's very difficult for humans and mews to live together, so I wanted to test it, because this is my world, and I don't want him to follow some storyline, that's all. ”

"The world? The storyline? ”

Ge Saixi obviously didn't understand what Gu Wu was saying, after all, she didn't know Gu Wu's identity, so it was normal for her to feel confused.

"Yikes! Master! It's a bit dangerous up ahead! ”

Saying this, Louise attracted everyone's attention, and Tina, who was the first to follow her, saw what she said was 'danger'.

"Lamp...... It's broken. ”

The sewers are lit, but there is no lighting in the passage directly ahead, and most of them have not been repaired, so the area is extremely dark.

Faced with this problem, Altair walked to the front of the group, and she pressed her left hand against the wall.

Rumble...... There was a slight sound, then a slender flame that stretched out horizontally from Altair's arm, and then she turned to look at Gu Wu and the others.

"Don't waste time, keep going."

It's really true that Altaïr...... 'Senluo' can really do whatever he wants at this time.

It was again Loise who took the lead, but this time she had a companion, and Tina followed her to look at the flames Altaïr had created; Even if the two of them are starters, they are still children at heart, so they are very interested in the magical flames in front of them.

Loise reached out to touch the flames, but was stopped by Tina, who still had their temperature.

"Incredible Miracle ......"

Ge Saixi was also surprised by the current situation, as a meow species, she had already surpassed human cognition, and now she saw cognition beyond cognition.

Once she had passed through the dark passageway, Gessey quickened her pace past Louise and Tina in front of her, crouching down in the corner.

"This sign is ......"

Vague signs are carved on the ground, like drawings of the sun and moon.

"If my sister hadn't changed the signpost, I think the destination was ahead."

Just ahead? It stands to reason that the front is not a collection of passages, which means that the meows have quietly made changes to the underground sewers?

No, there is a more superficial question, that is, why the sewer maintenance personnel did not find the mews living in this area, and why do you want to say that...... There must be some kind of meandering into the staff.

Even if they want to detach themselves from human society, they have to learn how to connect with others, after all, 'being alone' is not an easy thing to do.

————

Heard it......

Even in the sewers, Gu Wu could hear the thunder.

Thunder and lightning from the sky intersected, and like the roar of a demon, they were ready to begin to vent on the earth, causing the rain to soak the world.

Gu Wu doesn't hate rain, it's better to say that he likes it a little, but at this time, he doesn't have a good impression of rain.

After all, even if the rain washes away everything, it is difficult to wash away the guilt, and the conflict between humans and the mew is inevitable in his opinion, and the only thing that can be done now is to show the strength and power he has, and make the other party give up the idea of continuing to do things.

Reconciliation is not possible, and there will be no reconciliation this time

"Not far ahead, I remember when I came here with my sister, she said she had bought some fun things, and I never thought I would be separated from my sister at that time...... If I can, I would like to be able to be alone with him when we meet, can Mr. Gu Wu give me that opportunity? ”

"It depends."

Gu Wu didn't think that the other party would sit down and have a good conversation.

"Master, are those people really enemies? They don't look like bad people to me. ”

Louise, who was moving forward, suddenly expressed her thoughts at this time, and she recalled the past.

"When the master asked me and Tina to look after the children, I found that they were not a threat."

"You can communicate."

Tina's thoughts are the same as Louise's, even if they usually disagree, but now they are on the united front.

It is true that the young mews are not a threat, but if they are to live......

Humans are not noble creatures, but because this world is ruled by humans, humans are superior to other creatures......

The above situation also makes the creatures that threaten human safety must be excluded or regulated, and Gu Wu is currently trying to find a balance between the two.

"Don't worry about those problems now, you have to remember to give your all when you encounter the enemy."

Gu Wu didn't continue to talk about it, but warned them not to ignore their own safety issues.

Gesai, who understood the current situation, took the initiative to end the discussion, and this time she led the way in front of her, passing straight through a certain passage in the sewer.

Halfway through, Gesai found the marker confirming her sister's location again, and she looked a little excited and a little uneasy at the same time.

If Ge Sell and the others insisted on resisting, Gu Wu would not continue to treat those meows gently.

"Just get to the front and turn right, so be prepared."

Gu Wu nodded, he would not let his guard down at this time.

So a group of five people arrived at the corner in front, which was a passage intersection, less than a scale, and there were only two forks in the road.

The area leading to the left is unclear, but the passages connected to the right are those where the meows are hidden.

Gu Wu, who turned around, vaguely smelled a certain smell just now, but these smells were covered by the stench of the sewer, and it was not very obvious.

"It smells of blood."

Ge Saixi, who was moving forward, explained, and Gu Wu suddenly realized, no wonder he was so familiar......

The footsteps of the crowd continued to sound, and soon they came to the 'hiding place' that Gesai had mentioned.

As Gu Wu had guessed before, the passage had been transformed, and the left and right sides were connected by wooden planks to form a platform, and continued to extend to the depths; Not only that, but there are also a lot of electronic devices, and it seems that life is not as bad as imagined.

However, all of the electronic devices stopped working, and there were two corpses lying on the platform on the right, and Altair, who walked over, glanced at the corpses, and then looked up into the depths.

"It wasn't long before I was killed."

"Master! Someone's coming!! ”

As soon as Altaïr finished speaking, Louise reminded everyone loudly.

In fact, it wasn't someone coming, but something was thrown! There was a roar in the passage and smashed directly into the crowd investigating the scene.

Bang! The hard object was shattered by Altaïr, and at the same time there was a thunderclap in the sky above, and many pieces of iron flew out of the wooden box that exploded, but they were all blocked by Altair.

"What a rarity."

In the distance, a figure emerged from the shadows, and a woman and her companion behind her slowly stepped out.

The woman looked very similar to Gessei, presumably her sister Gesel.

Seeing the person in charge appear, Gu Wu asked the two Loli guarding him to get out of the way a little, and told them to talk to Gesel in front of him while keeping calm.

"Miss Gesell, this is the first time we have met, and if you give up resistance now, you will still have a chance."

"Opportunity? It's something you have fought for, and you don't need charity. ”

"You don't have any chance of winning."

Gu Wu is not joking, under this kind of terrain and combat power, even if there is a Heshi in the mew species, he will not occupy any advantage at all.

"It's not up to you to decide whether you have a chance to win, Gesai, join me, don't be deceived by their ideals!"

"Sister......

"Then let's see the facts."

Gesell, who said this, didn't do anything, and when Gu Wu was puzzled, there was a change in the top of his head.

————

The appearance of the anomaly is something that happens in an instant.

When Fanny asked the employees of the factory in the development zone to release nitrogen, some employees in other areas who should have been evacuated suddenly asked to overhaul the factory again, needless to say, knowing that the other party was acting abnormally.

But even if it is abnormal, under the cover of such combat power, they will not mess around, and this is where Fanny made a mistake.

After the request to return to the staff was denied, Fanny heard a violent impact, followed by gunshots and screams.

【Monster! The monsters are attacking! 】

Hearing the report from her subordinates, Fanny realized that the other party had already arranged a trap.

"As if it were ...... within"

Not a problem though!

The official battle that Fanny is looking forward to, and banishing monsters is not boring!
