Chapter 29: The Rat Hole
When I left the hotel, my vision blurred. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info descended from the steps in front of the hotel, and a thick white fog in the air drifted everywhere under the shadow of the lights. When the breeze stirs, there is a surge, so thick that it can't be dissolved. During the day, I heard from the stars that Baiyun City is foggy for more than 300 days out of 365 days a year. Therefore, the plants in Baiyun City are artificially cultivated and the means are different from those in Hot Spring City.
The mud-stone pavement was wet, and boots creaked when stepped on. With the help of his mental strength, he slowed his pace, trying not to alarm the thieves in front of him with the noise.
The sound of small footsteps came from ahead, almost inaudible. Even the fat man walked very lightly. But they finally let their guard down after they succeeded, and their gasping for breath became much shorter, which made the following autumn trace.
Leaving this block, I came to a narrow alley, through which I suddenly opened up, but it was a big road. The night was empty and uninhabited, and the first few people finally couldn't help but talk.
"The third child, this time the harvest is not small. β
"yes, heavily. Thanks to the fat man pestering the man. By the way, has anyone found out?"
"That's the good thing about the capsule hotel, the luggage is piled up in the cabinet next to it, separated from the people, and you have seen our methods, the locks of those cabinets, one by one. β
"Isn't it the hedron pipe given by the boss......?"
A few people were talking and laughing, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was following them several meters away.
"What is this bag of things, is there any spars?"
"Take it back and open it again, it's not safe here......"
After saying this, several people immediately looked around. The light was getting darker, the fog was so dense that visibility was so low that a few people couldn't see anything with their eyes wide open, and the only sounds in their ears were their own breathing and heartbeat.
"It's ......"
Autumn heard them say "arrived", and then he also stopped and looked around at the terrain.
This is the side of the main road, and it can be vaguely seen that during the day, this road must be crowded with pedestrians, and it is a main road. I just passed a sentry box, which looks like it should be a station for a city train. The buildings next to it are also relatively old, and the outer walls are full of mottling.
He waited for a long time on the side of the road, but he couldn't hear the sound ahead. As soon as his heart moved, he slowly walked forward, only to find that several people had disappeared.
How is this possible, what I just said here, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?
Or did they discover themselves and get away with the fraud?
No way, I'm already careful. And a martial artist, against a few ordinary people, will he still lose?
In a few inches, he walked back and forth several times, and was sure that he was losing someone here.
Suddenly, I stepped on an uneven ground, and when I squatted down, I saw that it was a manhole cover, and below it was the city's sewer.
Could it be ......
He immediately moved and lifted the lid, and it was so dark underneath that he couldn't see anything. He leaned down, and his ears caught the sound of water running and sporadic chatter coming from the depths of the sewers.
For a while, Autumn was a little hesitant, if I went back, I had already followed here, and it was a pity to give up halfway. But if you go down yourself, no one can estimate how many people are in the other party's lair and how many dangers there are inside.
Seeing that these people were about to go away, Autumn gritted his teeth and jumped down.
Feet on the ground, autumn closed the manhole cover again. The air in the sewers was humid, but not stuffy at all, and the temperature was much higher than outside.
It was so dark that you could barely see anything, but fortunately there was only one way to go, and the voice in front of me could also guide the way.
Autumn walked cautiously forward, the sound of the water growing louder and louder in her ears. Then he turned a corner, crossed a narrow opening, and walked halfway through the waist until he arrived at a relatively spacious space. Suddenly, there was a slight light in front of me. The voices of people are getting closer.
This is a dead end in the sewer.
The sewers in Baiyun City were built in the old era, when water purification devices were not yet widespread, and the underground sewage discharge channels were criss-crossed. Later, in order to dig air-raid shelters, the complexity of underground buildings was deepened, and there were many small circuits that were not usually possible at all. After the New Era, these sewers were abandoned. Families can use spars to purify and recycle water in their homes. These sewers only need to drain rainwater, and even the maintenance workers don't come down to repair the waterways. Who would have thought that there would be people living here?
There are more than a few people in it.
The soft light came through, and around the corner, Autumn crept out her head and looked inside.
In a small space of more than twenty square meters, there were several beds and tables, and a man in tattered clothes sat on the bed, while the thieves who had stolen things put down the big bags.
"Boss, tonight's win is huge. β
The boss in their mouths had messy hair, one leg crossed on the bed board, one leg erected on the chest, and his chin resting on his knees, looking at the few people in front of him, his eyes were very misty, and he asked, "...... you guys What's going on?"
The fat man said, "We went to the little inn, and here are the things we got from there." β
"Who told you to go...... Hiccup-" He hiccuped, his speech a little inarticulate.
The fat man said with a smiling face: "Boss, you are drunk again...... Before, you ordered it......"
"When am I ...... Hiccupβ"
The fat man said: "You said, 'Capsule hotels are loosely managed, and the boxes for travelers' luggage storage are very weak, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of them.'" We just wanted to take advantage of the night to find out. I didn't expect the boss to be really wise and powerful, and said casually......"
The other dwarf also nodded and said, "Those suitcases are simply vulnerable, use the spar you gave the boss, and open them accurately." β
The boss rubbed his eyes and scolded: "You are looking for death, you have been fighting hard recently, and the Martial Arts Alliance is cruising around, you still dare to do this kind of thing." If someone finds out and sends them to Goldstone City to open mines, even my underground workshop will suffer. β
The fat man leaned closer, and he sprayed his face, and he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands, and said tremblingly: "What the boss said is." Next time, our brother will definitely ask you. However, this time the hotel came to the hotel with people from the Martial Arts Academy. Let's keep in mind the boss's instructions, the warrior must have a spar by his side, so he took the risk. β
The boss was about to yawn, but was interrupted all at once. He had drunk some of his own synthetic wine, and slept soundly in this rat nest, but he didn't expect to be woken up. The evil fire in his stomach was almost vented at this time, and he squinted his eyes and stood up.
This boss is not tall, and the person is strangely thin, and the whole person seems to have only a skeleton left, and it may be due to living in the sewer for a long time, the whole person is full of a cold atmosphere, but after standing up, he is condescending and calm, and has the appearance of a little boss.
"Open it and take a look. β
He commanded.
