Chapter 4: The Lurkers

According to the map, they quickly found the entrance to the sewers. Three or four of them walked into this bottomless underground shijie one after another.

It's part of the city life of Seris, and it's hard to imagine how this megacity would function without it, and if it ever stops working, the jewel in the crown of the republic will soon be a stinking gutter that no one wants to see.

It is precisely because of the importance of the sewers to the city that the government of the Republic has put a lot of effort into its construction. It stretches for more than 100 kilometers and crisscrosses the city. If someone doesn't hold a map or look at the signs on the wall, they will quickly get lost and will most likely not find the exit for the rest of their lives, but be prepared. Although the map Xiao Wanlong gave them did not have the internal structure and route of the sewer on it, Mo Yitian could find the right way with his memory. He was confident of this, as the sewers were intricately constructed, but there were signs every two miles or so. These markers alone can determine an approximate direction of progress. In addition, in addition to marking Mo Yantian, there is also a magic weapon, that is, the superpower given to him by the golden mask. This ability to surpass ordinary people not only changed his physical fitness, but also indirectly affected his intelligence. The current Mo Bantian not only has superhuman liliang and speed, but also has amazing comprehension and memory. As long as it was something he had seen and a place he had walked, he could never forget it, and these various fragments sealed in his brain could be extracted at any time like a CD-ROM disc. At this moment, he was in this dark sewer, and with these two things, he was like a living map, and he could easily lead everyone to search for the way forward. It's ironic that the last time he climbed into the sewers was to escape the agents who were chasing him, and this time he was trying to save his loved ones, and because of this, he stood here again and wiped away his old embarrassment and fear, and only unwavering faith was left in his body.

They walked for about a dozen miles before they came to a fork in the road. Mo Beitian glanced up at the indication mark on the wall, and suddenly remembered Nazar, the follower beside him. If he hadn't helped last time, he might have died here. Alas, I haven't seen him since the last time we were separated, and I don't know how he's doing. In this way, Mo was in a trance for a few seconds, and Lakshin next to him saw that he was standing in place and had not reacted, so he stabbed him and said, "What are you thinking?" We have limited time, so let's hurry up! ”

Mo Yitian gradually relieved himself, he glanced at Lakshen, and he quickly took his gaze back, the Mongolian young man in front of him was right, the matter of saving people can not be delayed, it is best not to think about the superfluous things at the moment, and it is the most important thing to find Xiao Xiao as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he straightened his back and pointed to the sign on the wall and said, "You see, from here to the left is the road to the city center, and to the right is the road to the scum factory." I figured it was already early in the morning, and if I continued at the pace I had just walked, I would have been able to reach the city center before dawn. Brothers, remember that this is under the noses of the enemy, and we must not reveal our identities, otherwise we will not be able to save people. Even your own life may be on the line, you know? ”

"Understood. We'll be there before anyone else finds out. The soldiers behind replied in unison.

Mo Bitian nodded: "Very good." Time is running out, let's go! He urged.

But just as the hundred or so people were about to set off again, there was a sudden sound from the right side of the fork in the road. The sound seemed to come from far to near, like the sound of some animal running rapidly.

Suddenly, everyone raised their vigilance, and they all took out short knives from their waists to prepare for a possible battle.

However, the noise did not last long. It suddenly disappeared just as it was about to get close to them.

"What's going on? Is it a rat? Someone in the back whispered.

"Don't act rashly just yet! The danger is not over! Mo Beitian whispered.

Just as Mo Bitian spoke, a voice also sounded: "With you, the danger will never pass, you can't escape!" ”

"Who's talking!?" Mo Beitian's eyes widened suddenly, trying to find the source of the sound, but the effect of the echo from the sewer wall was too obvious. He couldn't tell where the voice was coming from.

"Hahahaha, don't you come all the way here to find me? How? Now that it's so close, can't you see me? The voice echoed through the darkness again.

When Mo Beitian heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you Xiaoxue?" Tell me where Xiao Xiao is? ”

"So you're so worried about that girl? It makes me a little jealous, but it's nothing, because I'm going to bring you together, in hell! Situ Xiaoxue's cold voice kept wandering between the walls: "I will kill you first, and then kill her, so that your soul and body will be tortured inhumanly, ahahhahaha!" ”

"Damn! Tell me where Xiao Xiao is!? Mo Zhitian shouted hoarsely.

"I'll tell you, but I can only tell you one person, what should I do? You've brought too many people with you today, and I have no choice but to kill them all! Situ Xiaoxue said in a weird manner.

Mo Beitian had learned Situ Xiaoxue's methods, he knew that this woman said that she would do it, killing someone was simply a trivial matter for her, thinking of this, Mo Beitian immediately said loudly: "You'd better not hurt the innocent, I won't watch you do anything wrong!" ”

"Really? It's a pity it's too late! As soon as Situ Xiaoxue's words fell, Mo Yitian only heard a scream from someone in the crowd behind him, and then countless people followed suit.

Mixed with these shouts was another sound, a beast-like roar.

"What's that?" Mo Beitian shouted, but Lakshen, who had been standing beside him at this time, suddenly made a move, only to see him rushing into the darkness with a dagger in his hand, but after a few rounds he was defeated, the dagger in his hand was gone, and his body was also full of scars, several of which were still bleeding out.

At the same time, a dozen humanoid monsters slowly crawled out of the darkness, all of them had no hair or body hair, bare brown skin, and half-crouched on the stone steps of the sewers, like gargoyles in Western legends, but missing a pair of wings that could fly.

"This is..."Mo Beitian had never seen anything like this before, and he was inevitably a little surprised.

At this time, Situ Xiaoxue's voice sounded again: "My baby, are you scared?" Don't be afraid, it's lurkers, it's my pet. They are usually very obedient, but they are not very good-tempered when they eat human flesh. ”

"Eating human flesh!?" This chilling-sounding word was very easy to say in Situ Xiaoxue's mouth, but it was a different taste in Mo Beitian's ears.

These lurkers in front of him are fundamentally a group of monsters, although Mo Yitian doesn't know where they came from, and he doesn't know that they will listen to Situ Xiaoxue's words, but one thing he knows very well is that they are eating people, eating the meat of these original soldiers! This made Mo Beitian really unbearable, and at this moment his palms were clenched into fists.

"Situ Xiaoxue, don't go too far! Although you are my wife, please don't push my limits! What you're doing now is already exterminating humanity, if you can put down the butcher's knife, maybe I'll let you live, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! Mo Yantian's words were sonorous and powerful, and he was expressing the dissatisfaction and grief in his chest.

It's a pity that Situ Xiaoxue won't pay attention to what he said now, in her eyes, Mo Zhitian is a chicken to be slaughtered, and she can kill the other party at any time, but it's not time to let him die. She was going to play with him now, watching him get angry, angry, angry, and angry until he lost his mind, and only then would she kill him, because he thought it was the most interesting thing to kill someone who had lost his mind.

"Don't be screaming weakly. If you have the ability, kill me or kill the lurkers in front of you, or your men will all die. Situ Xiaoxue said.

Mo Zhitian looked at the defeated Lakshen and the staggering soldiers, and then looked at the group of salivating monsters in front of him and said loudly: "Brothers, step back for me, I'll clean them up!" (To be continued......)
