Chapter 201: Its Territory, Its Rules
Swimming in the cold water, the worm suddenly felt that something was watching him in the shadows, and in fact, this feeling had been maintained intermittently since he arrived in the ruins of the city, so that the worm had to be vigilant.
Perhaps because the internal facilities have not been used for a long time, the water in the sewer is not as dirty or filthy as the worm had expected, and the water here is clean, but it is far from clean enough to be used as a swimming pool.
The firearm can't see the water, otherwise it is easy to have problems, so before the little worm came down, she deliberately handed over most of the weapons she was carrying to the turtledove for safekeeping, and she herself only brought a pistol, and she also brought the dagger of the turtledove.
Worm dragged the handle of the oil drum with her backhand and swam forward slowly, the pistol was placed on top of the oil drum by her to avoid contact with the water, and the dagger was held by Worm in her left hand of the stroke, and her eyes scanned the darkness ahead from time to time, in case something would suddenly pounce.
After the first experience, the worm knew that if he had clicked and swam forward for more than ten meters, he would see the drain pump that could not be started because there was no fuel, as long as the fuel in the oil drum was poured in, I believe that the drain pump would soon drain all the stagnant water here.
At that time, the generator will be back in use to provide power for the freight elevator, so that the two of them can take the freight elevator to the upper floor of the building, completely leaving this dark and damp place.
"Whoa."
A faint paddling sound reached the worm's ears.
The worm stopped swimming forward and stayed still, only its feet below the surface of the water were still gently treading the water, holding the dagger behind it, and the worm knew that whatever was watching him in the dark, it should be about to lose its breath.
……
Time is passing minute by minute, as a "veteran" who has been displaced since he was a child and has not known how many times he has brushed shoulders with death, the little worm knows that the more this is the case, the more he must stay calm, and he must not panic because he can't see his opponent, especially not turn around and run away with his back to the hidden threat, after all, leaving his back to his opponent is the most stupid performance.
So what exactly is the other party?
There is not a single living creature in the ruins of the whole city, at least the worm and the worm have not been seen along the way, except for the inexplicable phone call in the phone booth, the two of them thought that this was a real "dead city", but they did not expect that in the sewers, there was still a living life.
The insect struggled to adjust her breathing, soaking in the cold water, causing her body heat to lose quickly, not to mention the fact that she couldn't move, and over time, the cold water would make the worm's body gradually numb, so that it cramped.
Cramps in the water, not to mention having to face the threat that will come out of nowhere, don't see everywhere is quiet and nothing unusual, in fact, the current situation of the insect is quite dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to go back to see the turtledove.
Speaking of turtle doves, the little worm can't shout for help to him at this time, although the two people are not far away, and the pipe is extremely close, the turtle dove must be able to hear the sound of the little worm, but compared with the turtle dove, the threat hidden in the water is obviously closer to the little worm.
The turtledoves didn't have time to rush to help.
But if it continues like this, it will become more and more difficult for the little worm whose hands and feet are gradually paralyzed by the cold to control his body, not to mention any cramps, and it is likely to suffer from hypothermia after soaking in cold water for a long time, which is definitely not what the worm wants to experience.
It's not, it doesn't work, the choices in front of the worm don't seem to be very good, none of them are useful.
……
"Whoa."
In the darkness, there was another soft sound of something paddling.
The little worm who had no solution suddenly brightened her eyes, and she was worried that she could not find a breakthrough in her predicament, but she did not expect that her opponent was still more breathless than her, and she was ready to attack her.
The surface of the eyeball glowed with a layer of silvery-white luster, and the little insect that entered the state of eagle eye can see everything within a radius of more than ten meters around it, even if it is dark and cannot see its five fingers.
A not-so-obvious ripple appeared eight or nine meters in front of him.
The little worm's eagle eye is powerful, but there is no way to see what is in the water through the stagnant water, but just by that ripple of water, the little worm finally knows where the other party is hiding, only to see her swift action to grab the pistol on the oil drum, open the safe, pull the gun chamber, pull the trigger, the three actions without the slightest drag and water, in one go.
Without even aiming, the bug fired a shot at the ripples that were rushing towards him, only to hear the firing pin "click", but the bullet did not break through.
What do you mean?
The worm was stunned for about a second, and then he understood, and the broken gun was still soaked in water after all, and it was dumb at this critical moment.
"What a joke!"
Seeing that the other party was still less than a meter away from him, the little insect was so angry that he smashed the broken gun that couldn't fire towards the ripples, and regardless of whether it hurt something in the water, the little insect handed the dagger in his left hand to his right hand, raised it high, and pierced it at a large shadow under the water in front of him.
Seeing that the pistol was useless, the little worm recovered from his shock almost instantly, and took the dagger and put on a hand-to-hand combat posture with the opponent.
"Shhh
The little worm knew by the feeling that the dagger had indeed hit something, and she couldn't be sure what was in the water through the cold stagnant water, but when the little worm pulled out the dagger, she had a few brown bristles between her fingers.
So it wouldn't be a fish, I hadn't heard of any kind of fish that still had hair.
A thread of blood melted away, and the things in the water were originally intended to quickly approach the worm and then sneak attack from underwater, but what it never expected was that the worm's eyes could see its movements clearly in the dark, resulting in its sneak attack being a failure.
Not only failed, but the back was hit by a dagger from a small worm, this dagger borrowed from the turtle dove is long enough, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a short knife, the small worm is full of strength at that time, but also the skin and flesh of the things in the water are thick, otherwise it will really make the worm seriously injured.
Rao is like this, it was also intimidated by the momentum and intimidation of the worm, and did not choose to show its true body to fight the worm, but wanted to find another opportunity to sneak attack the worm.
Who let this be its territory, its territory, its rule?
