Chapter 28: Sewer Creatures

As evening approached, when the sun was about to set, Xiangyang happily opened the iron gate and entered the safe house.

When Lu Ren saw who was coming, he let go of his sword hilt and continued to exercise.

Seeing that Lu Ren was silent, Xiang Yang couldn't help but said excitedly: "Do you know what I saw when I went out?"

"What?" Lu Ren looked quite casual.

"It is a human being, a living human being, a human being who has not been transformed into a polluted creature by energy!!"

She was full of surprises and said, "I didn't expect that there are still traces of human survival in Haizhou City."

Lu Ren said calmly: "Don't you wonder why, after three years of exploration, you didn't find any trace of human survival, but have humans suddenly appeared in the last couple of days?"

Xiang Yang was startled: "You mean those people are most likely mutated by pollution organisms?"

"That's not true. I just remind you that if you want to contact these people, please be vigilant enough."

Xiang Yang wondered: "Why should you be vigilant, everyone is so small, and the human race is about to perish, so you still need to fight with each other?"

Lu Ren: "Never underestimate people's hearts. Sometimes people's hearts are even more terrifying than polluting creatures."

Lu Ren looked at Xiangyang meaningfully.

Xiang Yang was puzzled: "I don't understand."

"You can only understand if you have experienced it, but this process may cost you a painful price, maybe even your life."

Looking at Xiang Yang as if he didn't care, Lu Ren didn't say much. He had already said what he should say. As for whether the other party could listen, it was none of his business.

Lu Ren's goal is very clear.

Don't be curious, don't cause trouble, just stay for seven days and return to the real world.

As for Xiangyang's mentality, Lu Ren also understands that as a little girl who hasn't seen the same kind in three years, the excitement in her heart is self-evident.

The two repaired for a while, and Xiang Yang finally recovered from the excitement and took out the bright light flashlight from his backpack: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's go, go to my base!"

"Facing the dark night?"

"Don't worry, the sewers will be very safe! The black mist can't reach me."

Lu Ren nodded slightly: "Just lead the way."

The matter of Hei Wu made him have to cooperate with Xiang Yang. This young girl who has lived here for a long time can definitely find a better living environment than him.

After confirming that there was nothing missing, Lu Ren and Xiang Yang left the safe house and headed for a deeper area of ​​the sewer.

Along the way, apart from the faint sound of footsteps, it was the light of the flashlight that kept shaking in Xiang Yang's hands.

There are two sides of the sewer for people to walk together, and in the middle is a dry sewage channel. Because no sewage is produced all year round, only the coagulated black lumps stick to the wall.

There was no unpleasant smell in the air, which relieved Lu Ren's clenched brows.

"You look nervous?"

"Ha...haha, yes, it's just being vigilant enough in the process!"

Lu Ren glanced at Xiang Yang, whose face was full of nervousness, but just slowly put his hand on the hilt of the sword to ensure that he could react instantly in the face of emergencies.

If only there were guns.

At least among the polluted creatures he encountered, it would definitely be a lot easier if there were firearms.

At least Lu Ren believed that if he was given a chance to practice, he might develop a similar skill as firearm proficiency.

Speaking of which, I have been cooking instant noodles over the years, why haven't I formed a life skill on the panel...

After walking for about five kilometers, he turned left and right several times, and Lu Ren suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dark passage in front of him, which only showed a general outline under the light of the flashlight in Xiang Yang's hand.

"There is movement."

"There is movement?!"

Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, and immediately adjusted the flashlight to the bright light mode to illuminate the front.

Except for some **** that can't be seen clearly, there is nothing else.

Xiang Yang pricked up his ears and listened to it for a while, and said with doubts, "No, are you more nervous than me?"

Lu Ren: "You said before that the special energy poured from the different dimension has polluted 90% of all living things in the world, right?"

"yes."

"And what about the mice, are the mice contaminated?"

Before Xiangyang could answer, Lu Ren's pupils shrank suddenly, and mice that were much bigger than cats suddenly poured out of the sewage pipes in front of him, and some of them were even bigger than a medium-sized dog.

The moment they poured out from the various pipes, it was like rows of black waves coming in like the two of them. Those pairs of eyes glowing red under the light of the flashlight made people shudder.

"Squeaky..."

The dense squawking of mice can even make one's head swell.

Xiang Yang was stunned: "How come, mice are obviously not polluted by these black mists... Someone has verified it before."

"Walk!"

Lu Ren didn't hesitate at all, he turned around and ran away with a pair of Xiang Yang, who looked like I was really frightened.

If it lasted for a few seconds, it might be eaten up by the group of scarlet-eyed mice that looked hungry.

Lu Ren has no doubt that the other party's bright front teeth can easily pierce flesh Xiangyang also reacted at this moment, his pace quickened, and his face panicked: "Oh my God, I have been in the past three years. Sleep next to these disgusting things."

The two escaped frantically. Lu Ren looked at the passage leading in all directions in front of him, and said in a flat tone, "We can't escape these mice, we need to go to the ground immediately."

"I, I got it! Follow the direction I said."

Xiang Yang, who forced himself to calm down, responded by saying, be the first to do it.

"To the left."

"Right!"

"..."

Turning around a dozen times in a row, Lu Ren glanced at Yuguang, and the mouse behind him was less than ten meters away from the two of them. If they made a slight mistake, they would be buried in the sea of ​​mice.

Looking at Xiang Yang, who was short of breath and lacked physical strength, Lu Ren said, "Do you want to watch the rats devour your body completely, maybe not even bones are left?"

Xiang Yang was jolted, and a surge of energy suddenly appeared in her body, which instantly made her run so fast that she almost threw her shoes out.

After a few breaths, Lu Ren sprinted to the bottom of the climbing ladder, without stopping at all, he put one hand on the escalator, the other grabbed Xiangyang's arm and threw it up.

"Break the manhole cover open!"

What I have to say is that data-based attributes are very powerful for the development of physical fitness. If you say that you can lift more than 100 pounds of things with all your strength, you will never cheat.

The ladder leading to the ground is five meters high

Xiang Yang didn't even have time to open his mouth, so he could only hold on to the ladder, and with one hand, he stepped on the ladder, lowered his head, and ruthlessly lifted the 40kg manhole cover with his shoulders.
