Chapter 453: Sewers

The more historic the city, the more complex the terrain, and the central part of Rhode Island is no exception.

Chen Mu remembered that Sun Buer once mentioned in passing, saying that in a previous urban renovation, the central city tried to repair the huge underground pipe network, but the result was unsuccessful, and finally only a small part of the repair was stopped.

That's right, the central part of Rhode Island has a huge underground pipe network, commonly known as the sewer system, which is rare in the entire wasteland city.

Chen Mu has also traveled to many cities so far, but almost none of them have any large-scale sewer systems, so in those cities, sewage cross-flow and landmines are everywhere are normal operations.

The rich urban area is a little better, relying on a lot of manpower to clean up, as for the slums and the like, that is, no one cares at all, and the ground can be said to be full of feces and urine, and the picture is simply beautiful and not difficult to imagine.

However, Rhode Island has long had a large-scale sewer system, but most of it is confined to the central city.

And the original builder of the central city was Lord Rhodes, who was proud of the entire "East China Sea" back then, and it is said that this guy is a person with a habit of cleanliness, but I don't know if that's the case.

Anyway, under his strong insistence, it took a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to finally build the central city of "Rhode Island", and as for the surrounding urban areas, they were built one after another.

The reason why only the central city was built in the first place is very simple, originally in the planning of Rhodes, there were five major urban areas, which is what "Rhode Island" looks like today.

But it is a pity that the central city was barely built, and the finances of the entire Rhode Island, or the entire East China Sea, fell into a state of bankruptcy.

You must know that at that time, the East China Sea was still in a state of poverty and whiteness, human beings had just gained a firm foothold here, and the local ferocious natives were only temporarily defeated, and they were still far from complete extinction later.

There is no such prosperous ocean trade as it is now, and at that time, whether it was a "business alliance" or a "golden sea", cross-border trade was still in its embryonic state.

Therefore, until the end of Rhodes' death, "Rhode Island" still had only a lonely central city, but at that time, the central city already had a nearly perfect sewer system, which can be called a super luxury city.

It is said that there was a story at that time that the living environment and sanitary conditions in the central city of "Rhode Island" at that time were even better than those of "Chukyo" at that time.

Of course, "Zhongjing" also has a sewer system, and the scale is larger than the central city of "Rhode Island", and it is also the imperial capital built by the first European emperor with the power of the human race.

However, it was precisely because the overall area of "Zhongjing" was so large that it was impossible to build it perfectly, and even brought the empire's finances to the brink of bankruptcy for a time.

Therefore, the construction style of "Zhongjing" belongs to the pancakes, and the area and scale are very large, but the sesame seeds are limited, so only a little can be sprinkled in each place.

For example, the sewer system, in the original "Nakyo", almost every urban area was covered with sewers, but except for the Imperial Palace, other places could not even be said to be barely enough.

In the central city of "Rhode Island", it is completely different, and I don't know what Lord Rhodes thought at the beginning, anyway, the underground pipe network of the entire central city has been built almost perfectly, and it can almost meet the standards of modern cities on the earth.

It's just that after Rhodes' death, no one cared about the sewer problem anymore, and later the Luo family lost power, and no one cared about this matter, so the huge underground pipe network here gradually declined.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and somewhat understood the whereabouts of the mysterious cloaker, this guy had a great chance that he had run into the sewers.

That's right, the vast sewer system in the central city is like an exaggerated labyrinth, most of which is in a state of disrepair or semi-abandonment, and it is said that it has long been a nest of various mutated creatures.

Of course, due to the limited terrain, there must not be that kind of mutant beast with a particularly large size, but the danger level will not be much lower because of this, and even more dangerous, because most of the mutant creatures in the sewers are poisonous, and many of them are highly poisonous.

According to Sun Buji, the main stronghold of the "Radiation Sect" in the East China Sea is set up in the sewers in the central city of Rhode Island, for the sake of these mutated creatures with poisonous attributes.

For other forces, the sewers here are places to be avoided, dirty, smelly, and there are no resources in them, so fools will waste manpower and material resources in them.

Only the Radiant Sect is interested here, and for them, a large number of poisonous mutated creatures are a huge wealth in themselves.

Because these mutant creatures can produce a lot of resources related to the toxic attribute European gas, such as extracting raw materials for the manufacture of toxic attribute transformation potions, and collecting the energy cores of these mutant creatures to extract and refine the gold and silver carats of the poisonous attributes, which are all good things that the Radiation Sect has a lot of demand.

Moreover, the "East China Sea" itself is a chaotic and mixed place, which is also suitable for the "Radiation Cult" to reach into it.

As for the danger in this sewer, it is not worth mentioning, you must know that the "Radiation Sect" dares to build a large number of laboratories and strongholds in the Gray Realm, and in terms of the degree of danger, the Gray Realm does not know how many streets to throw out here.

Chen Mu thought as he quickly searched the surroundings, mainly looking for where there was an entrance to the sewer.

Originally, the entrance to the sewer was still relatively easy to find, at least when it was originally designed, a lot of drainage holes and cleaning channels were deliberately built.

But then, as it fell into disrepair, many of the sewers were abandoned, and the dangers inside became more and more dangerous, and there were maniacs like the Radiant cult operating in them.

So the managers of Rhode Island began to close the entrances to these sewers, and to this day, most of the entrances are completely sealed, and they can't even be found, let alone entered.

Fortunately, Chen Mu's luck was good, and under the deliberate search, he unexpectedly found a small hole behind an obviously abandoned garbage station.

Look at the surrounding traces, this hole should have been opened not long ago, it seems to have been buried by garbage before, look at the gravel next to it is very old, it feels like a closed sewer entrance, but I don't know who opened it.

Being surrounded by the city guards, Chen Mu didn't have time to think about it, he came to the side of the cave and looked in cautiously, and there seemed to be no danger, so he dodged and jumped in.
