Verses 434 originate

That's the rotting stench of corpses......

As far as the eye could see, the blood pupil immediately saw a hellish scene.

I saw that the once familiar sewers were full of floating corpses. They poured in the middle of the waterway, the polluted water source soaking white. Many of them are already rotting. A large number of rats shuttle around their bodies...... Make a chirp sound.

The rats' eyes all glowed red, apparently mutated creatures.

How so......

Blood Pupil's face suddenly turned cold. I just feel tightness in my chest. It's as disgusting as eating a fly. A nameless karmic fire rose in his chest, and before he knew it, he had clenched his fists.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen corpses, and he had seen them on battlefields even more tragic than this. But this is different, this is his former home, this is where he grew up. Every piece of masonry, every steel bar, every person here is familiar to him. Although this is not a paradise, it has an incomparably important meaning in the heart of the blood pupil.

That is the only warmth in the last days. The sustenance of his past.

The putrid stench in the air grew heavier, but the blood pupil didn't seem to feel it, and he didn't need to look at the corpses to know that they had been shot. Apparently it had just experienced a horrific massacre before he returned.

Many of these corpses were known to him, like the male corpse by the waterway, and Blood Pupil remembered that he was the owner of a weapons shop in the Vault, and that Blood Pupil's first hunting knife had been exchanged for half a bag of ore from him. and the half-female corpse beside him, the most famous warbler in the shelter. But he raised six children. It is said that she likes nothing more than to boast to others about how smart and capable her children are. But I didn't know that two of the six children would never come back.

There is also warmth in the cruel last days, but no matter how rare this warmth is, they are just a corpse now.

The sound of water droplets falling to the ground makes a crackling sound, and it is extremely crisp in this silent space. The blood pupil walked slowly along the corner. Fingers slid across the walls, the cold walls were marked with many notches, mostly carved by the children of the Vault, including a portion of the Blood Pupil. An X is carved into the corner of an inconspicuous wall, which is the secret storage point that the Blood Pupil once kept, and the masonry below is hollow, and there are weapons hidden by the Blood Pupil inside. A few sharpened steel bars, trap tools, and a few rare crossbow arrows.

The blood pupil stopped at the secret storage point, crouched down and took a few strokes with his hands. He took out these gadgets from the small hole behind the masonry. Because after a long time, these tools have corroded. But traces of his use at the time can still be seen. Especially those crossbow arrows, there were still blood stains left on the arrows of the mutant beasts.

It's all Blood Pupil's memory...... Looking at these gadgets, Blood Pupil's gaze softened. But he only stayed for a moment before rubbing his hands together and destroying all the gadgets without a trace.

Then, the blood pupil followed the familiar path to his hut again. It's a rare sanctuary in the sewers. At the beginning, the blood pupil still spent a lot of money to get it. Here, he and Lil left the deepest memories. It was the only place in the last days that gave him warmth. In this hut, the blood pupil lingered with Liel for the first time, changing from a boy to a man. It was also here that Black Bear's men took Li'er away in a rage, which eventually triggered Blood Pupil's revenge and later escape.

This is the blood pupil, and it is also the deepest part of his heart.

Pushing open the wooden door, Blood Pupil saw that the furnishings in the hut had changed. Apparently a new owner after he left. The hut was a mess, rudimentary furniture shattered, and bullet holes from bullets everywhere. And in the midst of all this garbage, a man of fairly strong stature collapsed in a pool of blood. The corpse was already decomposed. …,

Blood Pupil didn't know this guy, probably a new guy after he left. However, seeing that he can occupy this hut, he must also be a person with some ability. It's a pity that his ability didn't save his life. Just like everyone else at the gathering point. Just judging by the direction of his head rush and the position in which he fell, he struggled before he died.

At this moment, the eyes of the blood pupil lit up. Picked up a piece of ceramics next to the man's finger.

The ceramic is small and looks unremarkable. But the blood pupil knew that it was not ordinary. Because this thing is a fragment of ceramic armor. This kind of thing is equipped only with standard combat uniforms. He also wore such a combat suit when he first became a high-ranking hunter.

A person who can wear such a combat uniform is definitely not a weakling. At the very least, you must have the status of a high-level hunter. Could it be that its owner was one of the members involved in the massacre?

Blood Pupil's eyes narrowed slightly. There was a hint of disdain and coldness in his eyes. Then he got up and walked out of the hut without looking back.

The sewers are huge, and it's a vast underground network that stretches over tens of square kilometers. Before nuclear annihilation was part of the city's drainage system. Even before he left here, Vault 27's sewer network was not fully developed. Many of these areas are inhabited by mutant beasts. Only a small part of what can really be used by people is a small part.

But he had no interest in exploring other areas. He had a goal in place where he was going.

That's one of the most dangerous areas of Vault 27. A deep wastewater treatment plant. Nuclear contamination there is more than five times higher than in normal places. In the past, it was a forbidden place that was inaccessible. But the blood pupil entered there by chance to pick up garbage...... That time changed his life. Until now, the Blood Pupil could clearly remember that there was a terrifying skeleton next to that unit. It's just that at that time, he was invaded by the enhanced cells and fell into a coma, but he didn't know what happened to the skeleton in the Dao.

Now that I think about it, that skeleton may be the owner of the colony.

In the silent sewers, the blood pupils seemed to walk slowly and quickly, and it only took a moment to walk through a long area. Along the way, he saw a lot of corpses, all of them residents of the Vault. But none of the intruders' bodies were found. It was obviously taken away by the other party.

This shows that the invaders are a disciplined group, which is very different from the bandits in the general sense. In the perception of the blood pupil, only the armies of some cities have such qualities. It's just that he can't think of an army attacking here for the sake of Lu.

But it doesn't matter...... In the heart of the blood pupil, the death sentence has been given to these intruders. And for the dead, any reason is meaningless.

Time passed little by little, and fifteen minutes later, the blood pupil finally came to a thick pipe that was going down, and a large amount of waste water flowed into the pipe, making a rumbling sound. The smell here is extremely bad, and the air is filled with highly polluting molecules. The Blood Pupil knew that this was the end of the shelter. Further on is the wastewater treatment plant. No one would have come here in the past, but the Blood Pupil found a way by chance. It is possible to barely pass through this wastewater treatment pipeline.

It was a ventilation duct that could only be crawled through by one child. However, the blood pupil didn't have to go that way at the moment. He just dodged through the wastewater treatment pipe. A powerful force field immediately repels the wastewater to one side. Not even a single bit.

The blood pupil flew at high speed, and in a matter of moments it passed through the winding wastewater treatment pipeline. As soon as he rushed out of the hole, he felt that a huge factory appeared in front of him.

It's a vast space, covering an area of about thousands of square meters. The old wastewater treatment machinery has ceased to function. Wastewater can only be discharged through other pipes. There are large and small filter basins and rusty steel pipes everywhere. The air was filled with a green mist, and there was a faint sour smell. …,

The mist here was poisonous, and the blood pupil barely managed to avoid its danger by crawling at the beginning. But at this time, he didn't have to worry about this, and flashed through the dense pipes like a steel jungle along the way, and quickly found the location where the breeding unit was found at that time according to his memory. Bypass a huge water storage tower. He was suddenly stunned......

Because at this moment, he saw an unexpected figure.

A figure that shouldn't be here, but it makes the blood pupil faintly take it for granted.

Bandage merchant.

At this moment, the bandage merchant was standing at the location where the blood pupil found the unit at that time, his back was very thin, giving the blood pupil an extremely special feeling, indescribable desolation and loneliness. Beneath him was the terrible skeleton.

He turned his back to the blood pupils and seemed to be muttering something out of his mouth. It's strange to say, even with the current thoughts of the blood pupil, he can't know what he's talking about. I just vaguely felt that he seemed to be mocking......

The blood pupil landed on the back of the bandage merchant. Woke him up. Only then did he turn around and glance at the blood pupils faintly. At this time, the blood pupil realized that there was no surprise in his eyes, as if he had known that he would return here.

"You're here......"

The bandage merchant said softly, his tone indescribably erratic. It's as if it's coming from another world.

"You're faster than I thought, I thought it would take at least two years for you to think about it. I didn't expect you to come back so early. Surprised, wasn't it? See me here. ”

"It should have been an accident." The blood pupil replied. Walked slowly over until he stopped next to the skeleton. Looking at this terrifying-looking skeleton, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.

"But when I saw it, I was suddenly not surprised. Remember? The Soft Cloud Planet in the Golden Heaven Star Domain. You tell me you have an infinite number of doppelgangers. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But now that I think about it, there's a problem. That is, even if you have more doppelgangers, you should have an ontology. But you never mentioned it to me from beginning to end......"

"What does this mean?" The bandage merchant smiled and asked softly.

"Of course that doesn't mean anything." The blood pupil replied. He glanced at the bandage merchant, then the skeleton at his feet. "But as soon as I saw it, a bold idea struck me. Maybe...... It's not that you don't tell me, it's that you really don't have an ontology. Your essence is dead. Or rather...... This skeleton is your essence. ”

"Are you right? My dear debugger, or...... The Legend of Crodil ......"

"Lord Rhea?"
