Steel Steam and Flame

Chapter 45: Underground water



   There were six people barely sitting in the steam car, and there were a lot of things that had to be taken. David's two daughters were flushed with small faces, and Cara sat beside him in the cool breeze, expressionless.

   Cassia’s modified car must not be on the road, and the other cars were processed by David in advance. So the situation became like this. Even though he was sitting in the driver's seat, he was still surrounded by all kinds of sundries. Those were necessary clothes, disguised ammunition, and there was a spare box full of but still can’t be put. Part of David's jewelry.

   During these two or three days, David helped Kara and the others gather necessary information, and at the same time rented a new shop in the new Green City. He is idle as well, and wants to take advantage of this time to take care of his own shop and start his original business with peace of mind.

   And his wife's clothing store was also arranged by him. Today is when he brought his wife and daughter to visit the new store. Cara wants to come over and help, by the way, get familiar with the real scene of the city. Later, she will have to drive around the city a few times, especially the buildings in the port area. She must be thoroughly familiar with it and look for battles that may occur there in the future. The best sniper position.

   Of course, Cassia had to go to the underground waterways to prove the urban legends people said.

  Because David's house is in the outer suburbs, the underground waterway below and the city center are two separate systems, because there is a new suburban area. As long as there are endless water sources and the energy to transport these water sources, even the desolate desert center can be transformed into a suitable place for living under the transformation of human technology.

The rise of    Gelun Oasis is the best proof.

   So if Cassia wants to go down the underground waterway, he has to run to the central city. That is the earliest site of Gelun City, now called the Old City, just next to the port area. There are a large number of poor civilians who were born here, as well as people who have fled here to take refuge not far away.

   It can be said that Green City can fall so quickly, and it has an inseparable relationship with these people who have escaped for refuge. The rotten germs followed them.

   David’s shop is very large, located in the sub-central area of ​​the city. The place with the largest flow of people, the center of the new city, David didn't have the financial resources yet, so he had to settle for second place and chose this place.

   helped to carry the things in. The decoration inside has been roughly completed, and the exquisite glass cabinets and silk cushions are all in place. The only thing that is lacking is the jewels that are firmly locked in the box.

   Then Cassia got dressed in the backstage and drove to the port with Kara.

   He got off the car midway and found a dark alley where there was a lot of dry household garbage. Because of the weather, the mold was obvious and the smell could be smelled far away.

At the end of   , his target appeared. It was the entrance of the underground waterway welded with steel rods, which was covered with red rust. Cassia pulled his hands vigorously, the strength was much more fragile than he thought. The rust has penetrated into the steel. Compared with the newly constructed city, too many things are in a state of being abandoned.

There is no one everywhere, and even steam locomotives rarely appear in front of the alley. There is only a black cat basking on the eaves of the sun blocked by the broken clouds. With his head stretched out, the eyes of the two pupils are straight. A man dressed in black and carrying various tools disappeared into a dim hole, and then the rusty steel strip lid was put back in place. It moved its tail, and then continued to bask in the sun.

   There are actually lights installed in the underground waterways, but nearly 20 years have passed, and the rats that grow in them have long been turned into tooth-grinding things.

Cassia opened the miner's hat that he wore on his head, and the yellow light illuminates a small area in front of him. There is sewage flowing under his feet. Although the air is circulating, there are still various smells mixed in it. I don't know. The taste of white.

   The darkness here seems to close from both sides like two gates at any time, and the sound of slight footsteps and the sound of stepping in the sewage flow through the fluctuating water channel. The early works were too rough. Some parts of the underground waterway had begun to peel off the walls of the lime cement paste, exposing the mottled black mud inside. More of it is the row of mouse holes of different sizes at the heel of the semicircular waterway. They are like crowded eyes in the dark night, watching everyone who has passed through here.

Holding the layout of the underground waterway in one hand, and lighting up another strong flashlight in the other hand, the other world under this city where emptiness and dullness exist at the same time, like the other side that can never be seen in the mirror, seems to have swallowed too many cities Negative things in it.

For example, the two dead bones at the foot of Cassia have several bullet holes on each of the black skulls soaked in sewage. They seem to be used as temporary resting places by a strong mouse. They have dark eyes and black moist stains. The smudged fur reflected shimmer in the light. By the way, there is no such thing as Cassia thought, rats and cockroaches coexist and rampant. Because all cockroaches have become the most delicious food in the mouth of mice.

   And the mice here are unexpectedly not afraid of people.

   Because the intruder is Cassia himself? This is the territory of mice.

   They are still used to seeing this kind of giant creature walking on two legs with light.

   Cassia prefers the latter.

   The water channel in front of him turned abruptly, and Cassia looked down at the drawing in his hand. So far, the direction of all the water channels is not much different from the lines marked on the drawing.

   Just as he turned, several lights came on at the same time as the sound of small footsteps in front of him sounded.

   The two sides were at a stretch, but until they could see the other's harmless face clearly, Cassia and the three people on the opposite side nodded at the same time, and then put down the pistols they had raised. After all, people who like to shoot are not many.

   "Brother, did you also come to find urban legends?" This is a local accent, and it seems that the clothes should be people who come to try their luck at the port and the old city.

Cassia nodded, the makeup on his face made him look like a simple and honest man who did hard work and then came down to try his luck. Although carrying a gun does not match this temperament, it does not affect the first reflection of his face Good impression.

"There is no need to go over there. It has been blocked by the people of Fros." They said when they watched Cassia rubbing shoulders with themselves, and wanted to walk the way they came, "Someone took away one of Fros's workshops. , His people are going crazy in that area. Many of the brothers who were there today were affected and eaten bullets."

   several people kindly reminded.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of those people. The mine tunnels that were closed more than 20 years ago were discovered. I don't know who released the news. Today, a lot of people were killed in one day. The corpses of the people killed by Frost are piled up in piles, and now even the rats are rushing there." Several people felt a little aggrieved.

   "We came from there. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would lie there too." The three said and walked away, but Cassia didn't seem to hear him, and he walked in with his head stuffed.

   "Hey, brother, hello,,,,,,," shouted from the light behind.

   "Forget it, this kind of person hasn't been encountered along the way, let's go, it's time to go back, so as not to get bad luck." Someone was persuading, and some sighed.

   But this Cassia can't hear it anymore, the sound is about ten meters away because of the structure of the waterway.

   "Could it be that Lee has already begun to take action?" Cassia walked along, thinking about what the three people reminded him, "Or is it just other student groups that are carrying out their plans and starting to eliminate the vitality of their goals?"

There are still four days before the meeting with Feston to trade. He doesn’t know if the "Fros" among the three people who just wanted to be the target of some of the teams, but the "mine road" they called it was Cassia. I want to find something.

   It seems that I have to go. Cassia glanced at the mechanical watch in his hand, which pointed to 8:30 in the evening.

   "I also have a high-energy meal. It will not be too late to come out in the early morning, and David also has the key in the shop." After examining what was on his body, Cassia slowly sneaked in the direction the three said.

  、、、、、、

   Still in that small room, the windows are tightly sealed with black cloth, the light from the lime lamp inside can't come out a bit, and the light from outside can't pollute the inside.

   Next to the oak table is a box full of bullets ~ www.readwn.com ~ pistols, blasters, and runners are all there, and there is a heavy machine gun lying there quietly next to it.

  There are also people sitting at the round table. Five of them went out in the early morning. Now there are only two people sitting here. They are treating their wounds and eating meat.

   The door was opened quietly at this time, and a woman came in, her face obviously wearing makeup. She carried a large cloth bag with brand new clothes in her hand.

   "How's it going, do you have any news from the captain?" Klitsch was applying disinfectant potion to the festering wound, and in front of him was the rotten meat that he had removed with a tactical knife.

"There's news, but it's not about the captain." The short-haired woman put the cloth bag aside and sat at the round table. "Things are as we expected and were discovered. But because of those who are exploring urban legends. For this reason, the matter was stabbed to be bigger than we thought, and the owner of the workshop paid more attention to the weapon processing workshop than we expected."

   The three of them thought of the defender who was also the surgeon. This had already been hinted. Ordinary weapons production workshops still don't need his combat power.

   "If there is no other entrance, if you want to go down to help the captain, you may need a more confusing situation." The woman continued.

"It just happens. Rudeness and violence are the best fuels for chaos. We can add some fire to them." Klitschns wrapped his wounds with new gauze again. "Otherwise it's so dark below, I'm afraid the captain can't find it. The way back."

The two on the side smiled and shook their heads: "When your wound has recovered, we will set off~www.readwn.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.readwn .com~For mobile phone users, please go to read.
