Chapter 176: Walking Between the Sewers
The drainage canal is very wide and deep, with a height difference of five or six meters, and a width of about 20 meters.
The climatic conditions of the extralegal land are very special, and the rain is quite small, so most of the area is a barren desert, and the abandoned city is compared to other places, although it also lacks water resources, but after all, there is some rain, not even a drop of rain throughout the year.
It's just that the rain here is all in bursts, and it usually lasts for about a month, during which it occasionally clears, but it will continue to rain for a long time, and you have to wait until the rainy season has passed.
However, in recent years, the precipitation in the rainy season has become less and less, resulting in several underground rivers in the vicinity drying up, and more than half of the drainage canals in the city have dried up.
The drainage channel that appeared in front of the turtledove and the insect was one of several dry drains, and this was what Natalia called the "hidden channel".
In the vicinity of the residents' committee, the mob used a sewer last night to try to capture the residents' committee from underground, but failed, and some of the rioters who fled from the desert blew up the sewer with explosives, causing many monsters to cross the boundary line from the ground and appear directly near the residents' committee's residential area, causing a lot of trouble.
So after hearing Turtledove talk about it, Natalia thought of using the drainage canal to leave the abandoned city, as the leader of the safety team under the residents' committee, she naturally had been exposed to these things on weekdays, and it was very reasonable to know which drainage channel connected to the outside.
According to the original plan, it was supposed that the four of them, Turtledove, Worm, Schultz and Natalia, would ride a modified pickup truck to the drainage canal, and from here they would enter the interior of the abandoned urban drainage system, and finally find the outlet and leave the abandoned city.
Unexpectedly, a Rebecca came out halfway, and she defeated Natalia and Schultz alone, if it weren't for Galahad's timely arrival, I'm afraid the four of them would have to be explained here.
……
"Sit tight!"
The turtledove shouted, and the little worm sitting next to him quickly leaned back in the chair, and seeing that the little worm was ready, the turtledove stepped on the accelerator and drove the pickup down a cement staircase next to the drainage canal, bumping and bumping like a roller coaster.
Finally got to the bottom, Turtledove felt that his brain was about to be turned upside down, and it was also thanks to the fact that this pickup truck was modified, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand such a bump.
It's just that after this bump, the wound that the little worm has worked so hard to help him stop bleeding suddenly seeps blood out again, but the turtledove didn't have the heart to take care of this, he looked at the other side of the drainage canal dozens of meters away, there was an entrance like a bridge hole, and drove the modified pickup truck over.
The little worm silently took care of the wound on his chest again, - good fellow, this woman Rebecca is really ruthless, and with two whips pulled out a cross on the turtledove's chest, and the skin was open, and the widest part of the wound was almost as wide as two fingers.
If the turtledove wasn't mad, if his bone density wasn't much higher than normal, maybe he wouldn't be the only one at this point, his sternum had even been shattered by Rebecca, and once the broken bone stubble was inserted into his lungs or heart, he would be finished.
There are also those parasitic beasts that Goliath spit out before, their blood is extremely corrosive, and it also has a certain toxicity, which not only makes the skin on the turtledove's shoulder carbonize black, but also makes him dizzy as if he was drunk, but fortunately, the turtledove has a special physique, and can maintain a certain degree of sobriety.
Rebecca's wounds were bleeding, the skin eroded by the blood of the parasitic beast was oozing blood, and there was hardly a good place on the turtledove's upper body except for its back.
All of this made the clown see it, she knew that the turtledove would have become like this for herself, if she hadn't met the turtledove in the ruins of that city, maybe he would still be wandering freely between the strongholds, living a life of stealing and stealing but far less dangerous than it is now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Worm's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, of course she was a rather stubborn girl, and she would never shed tears in front of anyone, but in retrospect, Turtledove really did a lot of things for her, and shared a lot for her.
Rubbing the corners of his eyes, the worm continued to treat the turtledove's wounds.
Naturally, the turtledove noticed the change in the worm's mood, but he didn't know what to say, or if the best response at this time was not to say anything, - cautiously glancing at the worm with his peripheral vision, the turtledove withdrew his gaze when he was sure that she had not noticed him.
……
"Bang!"
The modified pickup truck crashed through the fence-like iron gate that blocked the entrance, carrying the turtledove and the insect into the dark sewer, and the front lights were lit to help the turtledove find its way.
"It's over here."
In a matter of seconds, Worm's mood stabilized, and she raised her hand and pointed to the right, pointing to a circular passage that was indistinguishable from the other two paths.
The diameter of the circular aisle is large enough to allow two modified pickups of the same shape to walk side by side inside, and at regular intervals there are vertical ladders connected to the top, from where it is possible to climb to the ground.
The modified pickup truck drove in a circular channel full of sewage and silt, it seemed that the drainage channel had been dry for some time, there was very little sewage, and most of the silt had become hard, and the wheels of the modified pickup truck ran over the silt, making a "Kerakala" crushing sound, reminding the turtledove that he was not standing still.
After a few intersections, the underground drainage system of the abandoned city is really extensive, if Natalia hadn't told the turtledove and the insect in advance how to go, and let them drive the car in the car to run around, I am afraid that the car will run out of fuel and will not be able to get out.
It was pitch black, only the two lights in the front of the pickup truck could illuminate it, and Ikaruga estimated that it had been almost a few minutes since he entered the drainage system, and he gradually became a little agitated as he drove it, because he could never see where Natalia's exit was.
"Are we lost?"
Turtledove asked the worm a little unconfidently, and to be honest, he was a little panicked now.
"No, turn left at the next intersection, then go through two more straight intersections and the exit will be in front of you."
The little insect was very determined, and the turtledove had to calm down, and sure enough, a little light suddenly appeared in front of it, and although it was still some distance, it was finally visible.
