Chapter 182: Underground
As a last resort, Chu Zihang and Caesar could only secretly put down the two waiters to change into their clothes, and disguised themselves to blend in.
In order to be able to hide people's eyes, Caesar and Chu Zihang applied a lot of makeup on their faces that they didn't figure out themselves, covering their faces as much as possible.
But I didn't expect that because Caesar's pectoralis major muscle was too prominent, even if he had painted his face completely unrecognizable, there were still a steady stream of women sticking to it.
At this time, it was already after 12 o'clock in the evening, and although Gao Tianyuan had already passed the busiest time period, a variety of stage plays arranged by the cowherds themselves continued to be performed on the stage, and the guests under the stage were already happy to be drunk and began to summon the familiar cowherds to come out to accompany the wine.
Takamagahara's front car is like flowing water, and the late guests are often groups of girlfriends, and after dinner elsewhere, Takamagahara joins the big party with singing and dancing, and the cowherds have to go over to say hello, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, whether it is a cowherd or a waiter, they are running to work.
Originally, Caesar and Chu Zihang took a fancy to him, and they originally planned to run quickly through the chaotic crowd as waiters, and as soon as they entered the gate, they were at the door of the basement that they finally found after searching.
But the two elites of the Kassel Academy who were originally hiding in the shadows were discovered by these drunken women, and the ghost knows how this group of drunken and blinded women found the two half-breed elites who were in a state of stealth, Caesar even doubted his own skills for a moment, and in the end he could only blame it on a firefly that a man as dazzling as himself could not hide for a woman, and never mentioned the glittering pectoralis muscles exposed by the open clothes on his chest.
Chu Zihang next to him glanced at Caesar, he had probably guessed the reason why the two of them were exposed, but he didn't blame his teammates, after all, he didn't stop the other party when he chose to dress up like this.
It was the two cowherds in front of the door who disturbed their judgment, they originally thought that the two greeting guests in front of the door represented the average level of this cowherd shop, and Caesar chose to open the pectoralis major muscle operation in order to better integrate himself into the atmosphere of Takamagahara.
Now it seems that the two cowherds placed outside the door can be regarded as capable existences, and a treasure of the level such as Caesar's pectoralis major muscle is simply a magnet for this room of hungry and thirsty women who seek comfort.
No amount of words could be said at this time, and the women had already raised their glasses to them, and more people had gathered around with wine glasses
If it were in other circumstances, Caesar would definitely be proud, even if most of the women in it were not very good-looking, but as a gentleman cultivated by the Gattuso family, he would never snub these women because of their appearance.
But now that they were on a sneaking mission, Caesar had even seen the fat man in the distance, who looked like a boss and weighed at least two hundred pounds, and had begun to sense that something was wrong here.
In case they are interrogated by the other party, they will inevitably be exposed, so not only will the operation fail tonight, but it is more likely to expose the position of the Snake Qi Hachiya himself and others.
In a hurry, Caesar suddenly blessed his heart, learned his own kind of horse daddy's operation, and surrounded the women around them to his and Chu Zihang's side, using these women as a shield to go to the intended location.
Caesar stood in front of Chu Zihang and blocked those admiring eyes with a bright smile, he casually took the champagne handed by a woman and hugged her cordially. Some of the more enthusiastic young girls even lifted their skirts to show their dazzling thighs, and Caesar took a highlighter from the customer's chest and signed them one by one, which, with his experience, was a piece of cake, and in an instant Caesar's Italian name flashed on the thighs.
The atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, and people kept coming up to kiss Caesar's face, and Caesar smiled domineeringly, put his arm around their shoulders and took pictures with them, and it seemed that he was now more like the owner of this nightclub.
In fact, Caesar couldn't understand what this group of women was saying, although he also urgently memorized a little commonly used Japanese before coming to Japan, but his level was a little worse than Lu Mingfei who flipped through a small book, and he couldn't understand this kind of "high-end game" at all.
However, although the language barrier, Caesar definitely has a lot of experience in facing women, although Chen Motong is indeed his first love, but there are many women who have been posted since he was a child.
Therefore, Caesar is very good at using his strengths, no matter what the woman on the other side asks, he will show his pectoralis major muscles as much as possible and show a domineering smile, followed by a hug, most women will be dizzy by this set of combos, and immediately forget their purpose.
And another Chu Zihang, who also doesn't know Japanese, is also using his own methods to deal with the "fish that slipped through the net" left in front of Caesar.
Although Caesar has attracted most of the firepower, Chu Zihang, who is silent but unusually cold behind him, is still discovered by many women.
As the No. 1 school grass in Shilan Middle School that year, Chu Zihang's appearance has naturally been verified, although his expressionless face will make him lose some of his popularity, but in the eyes of some people, this is a plus.
In fact, Chu Zihang originally planned to rely on his cold momentum to force all the people who dared to covet his body back, but he didn't expect that although most of them were forced back, a small number of women seemed more fanatical.
Chu Zihang didn't have a good way to face such a large group of fanatical women who didn't understand the language, so he couldn't really take out a knife and cut them all. Therefore, he could only choose to continue to maintain his momentum, closely following Caesar.
Fortunately, this group of women not only did not get angry in the face of Chu Zihang's attitude, but seemed even happier, constantly saying words that Chu Zihang couldn't understand, and their bodies were constantly approaching him. There were a few bold and fast ones, and even quietly ate Chu Zihang's tofu.
Even though Chu Zihang showed an impatient look, these women still twisted their shoulders like, as if to say, "You hit me, you hit me."
Seeing this scene from afar, the store manager, who was about to come forward to ask, couldn't help but take a few steps back in the face of such a large group of fanatical women to make way for them. No matter how famous this store manager who adheres to the man's ikebana is in the cowherd world, in the final analysis, he is only engaged in the service industry, and he naturally does not dare to resist in the face of his customers.
However, he has already begun to think about when these two people appeared in his store, looking at their appearance, they are still wearing waiter clothes, for the store manager who regards the cowherd as his lifelong career, his subordinates actually have such a gem and do not realize it, it is simply the biggest mistake in his career.
With the help of the cover of these living shields around them, Chu Zihang and Caesar finally approached the entrance of the basement smoothly.
It just so happened that the DJ on the dance floor had reached its climax at this time, and the stage play was nearing the end, Caesar and Chu Zihang leaned against the door of the basement, made a thank-you gesture, and then pointed to the stage next to him.
Although they didn't speak, the women who were familiar with the operation process of Takamagahara already understood what they wanted to say, so they immediately ran to the stage in a rage, quietly waiting for the debut of the cowherd of their dreams.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Zihang and Caesar immediately entered the basement and took a freight elevator all the way down to the second basement floor.
"How did you know just now that those women would retreat after those actions, did you investigate the cowherd business here in advance?" In the elevator, Chu Zihang looked a little curious.
Caesar shook his finger and smug a smile appeared on his face: "I don't know exactly what that stage means to them, but I can see a lot of fanatical people under that stage constantly buying some pink tickets, so I speculate that performing on that stage and earning that pink ticket is some kind of criterion for the cowherds in the nightclub." ”
"I see, so even newcomers should be able to perform on that stage to earn their popularity and performance." Chu Zihang nodded thoughtfully, "But in this way, they will soon find out about our problem." ”
"Hmm." Caesar did not deny Chu Zihang's inference, "So we only have one chance, and after this day, we will lose this only passage to Genji Heavy Industries." ”
Chu Zihang looked at Caesar, the other party was now slightly bowing his head, his eyes slightly closed, covering his expression, but Chu Zihang knew that the reason why Caesar had such a choice was because his self-esteem was greatly damaged in the Internet café attack that day.
Until now, the fact that she didn't save Miss Mako, who helped them, still lingered in Caesar's heart, constantly stinging his self-esteem.
However, Chu Zihang did not dissuade him, although he has always behaved very rationally, but in essence, Chu Zihang is also a stubborn person who is unwilling to admit defeat.
Since the temporary rapprochement reached in the Japan Trench, the student council president and the Lionheart president have found their chats very synchronous.
As an Italian from Sao Bao, Caesar's topics and logic are always very jumpy, and Chu Zihang can always accurately capture his various logical points, and also give jumpy answers, without missing anything.
Caesar was like a flirtatious frog bouncing between the lotus leaves, and only Chu Zihang could always quickly judge where he would jump next, and quickly followed.
But when outsiders hear their conversation, they will only think that these two people are two crazy frogs, jumping from lotus leaf to lotus leaf with an astonishing synchronization rate, rising and falling together.
Coming to the second basement floor, Chu Zihang found a well in the corner of the hall, which was covered by an old-fashioned cast iron manhole cover.
The rusty manhole cover was about a hundred years old, the German mark of the cast iron company was blurred, Chu Zihang and Kaiser worked together to remove the manhole cover, and the sound of water flowing immediately came from the darkness.
"The entrance to the sewer is actually inside the building?" Caesar frowned at the surprise instead of showing joy. He was somewhat worried that it was a trap for the enemy, but judging by the surrounding traces, the well had not been touched for at least decades.
"It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect the entrance to the sewer to be hidden in Takamagahara, I found a sewer map of Shinjuku City from the Internet, and found that there are more than a dozen sewer entrances and exits, and most of them are still in the sewage treatment station." Chu Zihang carefully looked around the wellhead with a flashlight, "But only this well is an exception, it should have been sealed a long time ago, but because it happened to be connected to the shelter and could provide an escape route in a critical moment, it was retained." ”
They descended the iron ladder into the sewer, where a flashlight illuminated the mossy brick wall, which was structurally old and completely different from other modern sewer systems.
It has a semi-circular section, with a canal in the middle and narrow walkways on both sides, which Japanese plumbers from more than 100 years ago had to run into the sewers to desilt.
On the top of the sewer hangs some kind of aquatic plant, which is dark green and as thin as a hair in the light of the flashlight, and if you are not careful, you will be swept by this cold thing on your face.
The team fell silent for a while, Chu Zihang and Caesar walked on the narrow road next to the sewer, and for a while only the sound of empty footsteps echoed in the sewer.
Finally, after groping forward for dozens of minutes, the rumbling sound of the subway came from directly above, and in front of it was a rectangular water turbine with a diameter of more than three meters, and the sewer was already as wide as an underground river here, and the originally quiet water flow also turned into a turbulent rolling white wave jumping between the blades of the water turbine, and the sound was like thunder.
Directly in front of it is the Iron Dome Temple beneath the Genji Heavy Industries building, where water turbines are pumping large quantities of water to keep this fully automated underground sewage system running.
"How do you get past now?" Caesar looked at the sharp paddles, each almost two meters long, cast from sturdy metal that could easily cut through floating debris such as aquatic weeds, and the turbine was part of the purification process.
"When I first visited Genji Heavy Industries, I carefully watched the work process of the Iron Dome Temple, the turbine does not always rotate, and when it stops, we can drill through the tunnel, but it is fast, and the force of its rotation will cut us off." Chu Zihang stared at the machine in front of him tightly.
The two of them waited in place for a while, and as the current below slowed down, the turbine slowed down, and it took a few minutes for it to come to a slow stop, and the water on the blades flowed down loudly.
"Now!" Caesar drank low.
The two of them immediately climbed up the iron ladder on the side of the turbine and ran through the stainless steel passage, which felt like they were running through the airway of a jet plane that had just stopped, surrounded by sharp air blades.
They slid down the smooth wall of the pipe, looking up at the open space above their heads, and had to sigh that the Iron Dome Temple of the Eight Families of Snake Qi was really a miracle in the history of engineering.
This is probably the most advanced sewer system in the world at this stage, fully automated, able to easily handle all kinds of pollution and sediment in the water, and although there are iron ladders and walkways for maintenance on the pipe walls, according to the design standards of Maruyama Construction, the Iron Dome Temple will not need to be repaired manually for twenty years.
And this also provided Caesar and Chu Zihang with plenty of time.
After walking along the repair aisle for a while, I finally heard the sound of welding echoing in the pipe.
Caesar closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, then opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Chu Zihang next to him: "That is the underground dock of the Rock Flow Research Institute, and the sound of electric welding indicates that someone is repairing the equipment." ”
"I heard at least twenty people over there, and all of them men in full armor." Caesar lowered his voice and pointed in one direction, "In such an environment, our voice will be reflected and amplified in the pipe, and it can be transmitted far away, so we will talk as little as possible." ”
Chu Zihang nodded silently, he has always been a professional in this regard.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was the sound of footsteps from above, it was a black-clothed guard, and through the transparent raincoat, he could see his hand holding his gun. The two of them hid in the shadows against the wall of the pipe, looking up through the iron fence, the guard's big feet in leather shoes stepping over their heads and fading away.
Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar, who also understood what he meant, and shook his head.
It is difficult to break through this level of firepower and guards, and with so many targets, even if the two of them use submachine guns, they are useless. What's more, these guards are obviously half-bloods, and if they don't know the enemy's spiritual information, one of them will die if they are not careful.
The two were silent for a moment, obviously approaching the door of Genji Heavy Industries, but the way forward was completely blocked.
Chu Zihang suddenly made a gesture, Caesar glanced at it, and finally nodded.
So the two of them parted tacitly and started to search from both sides, because the underground dock was all paved with metal, and if they moved quickly, the sound of footsteps would be transmitted to it, and Caesar and Chu Zihang could only move slowly on tiptoe in the crowded underground passage.
After hours of searching, Caesar finally moved back to his original position, exhausted. Glancing at the watch he was carrying, it was already close to 6 o'clock in the morning, minus the time spent on the journey from the Cowherd Shop to the Iron Dome Temple, he had actually searched for more than 5 hours.
For such a long time, Caesar had maintained the lowest state of speech and spirit, listening carefully to the voices above his head to look for possible flaws.
It's a pity that after so many years of development, it is almost impossible for the Eight Snake Families to be negligent in terms of personnel arrangement, and the Iron Dome Temple also considered the problem of enemy invasion at the beginning of its design, and Caesar did not find any flaws at all. And as daylight progresses, so does the number of guards and staff patrolling overhead.
Returning to the original meeting place, Caesar found that Chu Zihang's expression was different, although he still had a cold face, but Caesar did not feel any frustration from above.
This made his eyes light up, and hope rose a little in his heart.
Sure enough, Chu Zihang gave him a tactical gesture and asked Caesar to follow him away.
The two walked through the passage for dozens of minutes, and finally entered an underground area that was close to abandonment after flipping over another water turbine.
"Let's take a break." Leaving the inside of the passage, Chu Zihang finally spoke.
Caesar did not refuse, he no longer had his old gentlemanly demeanor, and sat down on the stone next to him and gasped for air. After using the spirit for several hours in a row, even a low frequency of operation was enough to overdraw his physical strength.
Chu Zihang took out a few pieces of candy from the bag he was carrying and handed them to Caesar, while he himself took out two pieces of candy and threw them in his mouth as an energy supplement.
"What is this place?" After resting for a while, Caesar finally adjusted his physical state, and after eating the candy, he also recovered most of his physical strength, and only then did he open his eyes and ask Chu Zihang.
"I don't know." Chu Zihang shook his head, "But after my calculations, this area is still under the building of Genji Heavy Industries. ”
“…… What time is it? ”
Chu Zihang looked at his watch: "It's close to eight o'clock in the morning, that cowherd shop should have already discovered that we are all wrong, according to the worst-case scenario, we should only have this one chance, if you want to give up, you can leave now." ”
Caesar closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled for a long time: "I want to see again, what about you?" ”
"Logically speaking, your choice is not the optimal solution, and we have other options. The Kassel Academy should have identified the problem, and according to the Rector's actions, the rescue should have been arranged by now. When the head office comes to Tokyo, they'll take everything over, and we'll be sent back to the academy, and you'll be sent to Rome to show your family how intact you are. Chu Zihang rarely said a lot of words.
Caesar didn't interrupt him, the two of them were old rivals for many years, and naturally they both knew what was going on in each other's minds.
"But you don't want that." Chu Zihang shook his head, grabbed his long knife and stood up, "Let's go, we don't have much time, and when it's time to go to work, we won't be able to sneak in." ”
Caesar smiled, "You're more crisp than I thought. He sorted out his equipment, got up and followed Chu Zihang out.
The two of them wandered around the complex underground area, and finally stopped in front of a rock.
"No way."
"It's strange that the underground structure has obviously been artificially repaired, and there is no reason why there is no way up there." Caesar frowned, and turned on his words again. After a long while, his brows suddenly relaxed and walked in one direction, and Chu Zihang immediately followed.
Finally, following the slight sound of mechanical activity, Caesar found an elevator hidden behind a wall.
There will be a change tomorrow.
