Rat City - Pesters

When William heard the name of the city, he couldn't help but think of the first powerful enemy he encountered when he first became a gentleman, the degenerate gentleman under the twilight clinic - Mr. Lee.

William himself wondered what such a city named after the plague would look like.

Just over the halfway point of the trip, the flight attendant in charge of the voyage approached William again, and it seemed that he had something very important to announce at short notice.

"Mr. William, just now we received a short-frequency band from the head office, informing us that Rat City is also classified as a forbidden area. Or we'll change your destination and take you to another nearby city. ”

"Did you change it?"

"That's right."

"The itinerary remains the same, getting me as close to the Rat City as possible. I was planning to get in touch with the abyss this time, so it's good to familiarize myself with the situation at the edge of the abyss in advance. ”

"Okay."

The car stopped ten kilometers away from the Rat City.

Even from such a distance, William could still see the general outline of the Rat City, with its towering walls reaching hundreds of meters, crooked and twisted as if it was made of regular rough stone.

And a large amount of 'green gas', which represents the plague, is constantly pouring out from the sky above the city, dyeing the clouds above the city green, and some of the clouds are still dripping with green rain, as if the sky is disgusted by this.

The dilapidated roads are littered with fungus, and rats crawl over them at any moment.

The morphology of these rats has exceeded William's cognition, and only a few of them are normal.

Most rats have only the same head, and their bodies either crawl like children or have multiple legs and legs like octopuses.

There's even a ball of hair covered in rat heads rolling by, leaving behind a foul-smelling, rapidly volatile green liquid that smells like a stillborn rat accidentally falling onto the sink and being soaked for days.

"Since entering the old world, although all the source epidemic areas have expressed symptoms, they are relatively 'clean', and it is the first time to come to this kind of real dirty place.

Let me see what the inside of the so-called Rat City looks like. ”

William, who was walking on the main road, slowly discovered a problem, although the fertility of the old world was blocked, these rats were able to produce companions in the form of 'proliferation' and were extremely efficient, which was obviously related to [cancer].

Through knowledge verification with 'Thirteen', it was also determined that Rat City was indeed under the jurisdiction of the Cancer Palace, but the degree of correlation was not high, and it was basically free-range.

When approaching the city along the main road, the structure of the city walls came into view, and even the well-informed William was stunned for a moment.

The walls were not made of stone or steel, but were 'made of local materials'.

Due to the unbridled proliferation of rats, there are many deformed, short-lived rats, and the city can accommodate a limited number of rats, so the weaker ones will either leave or die.

Therefore, a large number of corpses are produced every day in and around the rat city.

Burning corpses is too cumbersome and not conducive to the growth of disease.

The city of rats used the corpses of dead rats as building materials, and built the walls with ancestral techniques, and the putrid liquid flowing from the corpses acted as a binder.

In the end, the height of the city wall exceeded 100 meters, and even a second wall was built on the perimeter.

Even the sick of the Old World would still be very uncomfortable when they saw this scene, and they would not want to approach it, and no one would want to attack this city even if it was not blocked by the city walls.

Not to mention that it will offend the cancer palace, it may be infected with a plague in the end, and even the stolen treasure chest may only contain a lump of old defense.

However, William soon noticed another problem as well.

There was obviously an underground sun moving not far away, but the sunlight sprinkled on the rat city was pitiful, as if there was a layer of enchantment blocking the sunlight from pouring in.

"Is it the cause of the excessive accumulation of corpses? Or is there some other reason...... I always felt that the city was hiding something other than its own virulent infectious disease.

There must be a reason why the Black Company listed it as a forbidden area, and maybe this city has also been affected by the unknown abyss to a certain extent, and has even changed secretly. ”

Just as William stopped in front of the city wall to think, a sudden sensation of heat came from his shoulder.

Little Grape, who was taking a lunch break, suddenly woke up, and took the initiative to open the "Eye of Ashes" without saying anything, as if he was longing for something.

"Little Grape, what's wrong?"

"William! Ben Grape's body has a strong sense of homology with the city in front of me, and one of the core corpses that make up my body may have something to do with these strange old-world rats, or some kind of infectious disease contained in the town. ”

"~ You have such a heavy taste?"

"Phew! What do you call me a heavy taste, it's obvious that there is a problem with the XP of the cemetery manager who cultivated me, okay! The composition of my body is up to him.

Don't say so much, if you happen to meet you, go in and have a look, if you can find the right grapes or some large plague aggregate, maybe you can awaken my second part.

At that time, the strength of this grape will increase greatly, and it will not be easy to take down the abyss? ”

Saying,

Little Grape also spat out four ancient corpse eyeballs from his mouth, which symbolized his main composition.

The first eyeball on the right corresponds to the activated "Eye Collector. The surface of Gemhar condenses a strange and cold evil aura, with a multi-pupil structure.

As for the other three, they are all in a dim state and have not yet been activated.

However, one of them slightly reflected a plague green light similar to that of Rat City, which means that the little grape's sense is indeed correct.

"Little Grape, it's better for you to keep a low profile.

Since you can sense it here, it's very likely that a certain mouse in the city, or even a large group of rats, can sense you. ”

"What are you afraid of! Aren't you already able to fight the Tumor Knight? This grape can control the evil sun, I see which mouse dares to come closer, when the time comes, please eat the mouse skewers! ”

"Why don't you directly turn into a prophetic form, and we will act separately in the city, which will be more efficient?"

"Ahem~ People are not familiar with the land, and it is not good to act separately as soon as they enter the city, right? Ouch, I'm still a little sleepy, so I'm going to continue my nap, remember to call me if you find anything. ”

Seeing that the little grape retracted into his body, William didn't say anything.

After tidying up his costume a little and putting on his usual needle-prick mask, he officially walked towards the interior of the plague city.

There was not a single gatekeeper at the gates,

The gate of the rat city looks like a huge gap gnawed by the rat's teeth, and it is pouring rain inside, and there is even green rain spilling out of the gate.

Although there were no guards, there were several vendors standing at the door,

They all have rat heads, and the difference is only that they are hairy or hairless.

Even though they were wearing clothes, they were filthy, and through the holes in the clothes, you could even peek through the pus-covered skin of their flesh

When they saw William, an outsider who was dressed extraordinarily and even wore a delicate mask, they immediately surrounded him.

"Sir, I have here the freshest inner membrane umbrella, taken from the stomach pouch of the unsplit nezumi, which can effectively resist the "rotten rain", and can be taken away with only 10 coins.

I also provide a fully wrapped raincoat which works even better, only 30 coins. ”

"Does the owner need to stay at the hotel? If your house is remodeled, it will be clean and not disturbed.

And we also provide 'home service', my wife's split individual is white and beautiful, with smooth hair, and is very good at housework, how about it? Why don't you try it, my wife is great.

The charge is not high, 20 a day is fine. ”

"Professionally lead the way! Professionally lead the way, you can go any way! Anywhere can be reached the fastest. ”

William turned his head to look at the white nezumi who was shouting to lead the way,

Its erect body has multiple small hands on its abdomen, one of its eyes has been gouged out, and its pale coat color is caused by aging, which seems to be quite reliable.

"Lead the way."

William looked at the white mouse and flicked his index finger against the iron needle of the mask.

Bite!

The sound was loud, and all the rats, except for the white rats who were asked to lead the way, felt a pain from the depths of their souls.

When he recovered, the young man who had surrounded him was nowhere to be seen.
