At another intersection of sewer pipes and canals, the people in the shell used a strainer to collect rotten food from the sewage outlet, drained the water, and started eating.
Zana and the others experienced acid reflux in their stomachs, and even the nervous Poirot lay on the ground and vomited. Since he had not eaten anything, he vomited out all the bile and only felt a bitter and burning soreness in his throat.
The people in the shell ate with gusto, sat cross-legged on the ground, lit a fire, and asked Zana if they wanted to eat some.
Zana covered his throat and waved his hands vigorously. After enduring it for a long time, he still couldn't hold it back. He vomited out a mouthful of sour water and said in disbelief: "You feed on these things? How can you eat them?"
The man in the shell said: "It's good to get used to it. It's good. When I opened it... I couldn't get used to it at first, but after a while... I thought it was quite delicious."
"...Can you please stop eating, I..." Zana retched repeatedly, and others also said: "We can't stand it."
After a while, the man in the shell was full, and he led Zana and others to a dry place. The two parties kept a distance of more than ten meters before starting to chat.
Zana asked first: "What do you call me, are you a Disman?"
"I'm not... not a Desman, but I work for the Desman Empire. I am from the River Country. What is my name..." He fell into a long memory and was in a daze for a while before saying.
: "My name is...I can't remember it, and I don't...don't want to remember it. Zhen...Miss Zhen calls me Ake. You can also call me...that way."
"Has anyone else seen you? Miss Jane?" Since they had just parted ways with Live Jane, Zana tentatively asked, "Are you talking about Live Jane?"
"Leif Jane..." The man in the shell nodded and said happily: "Yes, it's her... her name is Live Jane, a lovely, kind... kind, beautiful girl. She's not... not afraid at all.
I even brought me medicine. Without her...without her, I wouldn’t be alive now. Do you also know her?"
Zana thought that this was such a coincidence. He changed his mind and nodded: "Yes, we know each other. She has helped us a lot. Without her help, we would probably have encountered misfortune. She is really simple and kind.
." Then asked: "She is from the arsenal. You have met her. Aren't you afraid that she will expose you?"
The man in the shell waved his hand: "She promised me that no... she would not tell anyone that I... I am here."
"How did she find you?"
The man in the shell recalled: "One time, I ate... something bad and felt very uncomfortable. It was... food poisoning. In the past, food poisoning could be tolerated and then... it would pass, but that time I endured...
I endured it for a long time, but then I couldn't bear it anymore. I...I went to find...outside to find medicine, but it was so...too painful that I passed out. When I woke up...when I woke up, I...saw her. She
She was very gentle and cheerful. She brought me medicine. I took it and it really made me better..." When the man in the shell said it later, his tone was full of admiration, and he no longer stuttered when he spoke, as if he was thinking about it.
The beauty that is far away but not far away.
"Do you like her?" Zana asked.
After hearing this, the man in the shell suddenly stopped talking.
Colon calmed down and said to Zana: "Hey, why are you talking to him about these things? Can you talk about something useful? Our situation is very urgent now!"
Zana turned back and glared at him, thinking that he really didn't have much time left, but the man in front of him was very timid and cautious. If the conversation didn't go well, he would be ready to run away as before, and it would be impossible to get him back.
Now that Ake has clearly shown his admiration for Jane, he uses this as a breakthrough to attack his heart, and he will naturally answer all questions. In fact, it's not that Cologne doesn't understand this, but his current situation prevents him from handling the problem calmly.
The two chatted a few more words about Jane, and the man in the shell suddenly asked: "Will Jane like...like me? She must be disgusted with me like this, right?"
Zana naturally followed the words: "She hates you, why would she help you? Girls don't help people they hate."
"Really?" The man in the shell opened his eyes wide under the shell.
Zana smiled and said: "I have also dated some girls. Like Jane, she is a kind-hearted and compassionate girl. She...may not accept you right away, but she will definitely not hate or reject you. This is
What a chance for you to get along."
The man in the shell was so happy that he clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it... that's it. Jane... Jane must be... I have a chance, yes..." He was very excited.
Zana's mind changed and he added: "If Kezhen stays here all the time, you will never have a chance. This is a huge cell, and she is being watched very strictly here. I heard from her sister that she will get married here in the future.
Give birth to a child, and you can only spend the rest of your life in the gutter."
After hearing this, the man in the shell's eyes dimmed again.
Zana asked: "Have you never thought about taking her out and leaving this prison?"
"I...I thought about it, why didn't I think about it, I...I...I...thought about it day and night, but I...can't get out." The man in the shell said in despair: "I was trapped...
Trapped... here for a long, long time. The situation here is very complicated. I... I can't get out alone, let alone... bring Jane. I... have been hoping that the empire will come... to rescue me, then
Then I will be able to... But, after waiting for a long time, no one from the empire has come..."
Zana kept hearing him talk about the Empire, so he asked him: "Don't you know that the Desman Empire is gone?"
The man in the shell was stunned, and asked in confusion for a while: "What does it mean to be gone...?"
Zana asked: "When did you come here?"
The man in the shell had now let go of his guard and summed up his affairs: "It's been a long time..."
At that time, the Soton Kingdom was discussing the merger with the River Country. As a spy working for the Desman Empire, he received the latest mission and took advantage of the chaos of the merger between the two countries to find a way to become a member of the arsenal. Desman
The empire had long heard about the arsenal. At that time, it was not called the Three-Headed Dragon Arsenal. The Desman authorities thought that before and after the merger of the two countries, the arsenal would definitely face a lot of personnel changes. It was precisely this that sent people to sneak in to find out the information.
Opportunity. As a native of the River Country, the man in the shell is a talented person among the younger generation with his excellent academic performance and work experience. In addition, with a pure and reliable background, he has a good chance of entering the arsenal. And the facts are as expected.
The middle man didn't know if he was the only Desman spy who broke into the arsenal. He quickly began to collect intelligence, but the intelligence was collected but could not be sent out. While he was thinking hard about this, something happened in the arsenal.
An internal investigation was launched, and some people were killed and arrested. The reasons were complicated, including political infighting, factional struggles for power, and spy hunting. The intelligence he collected was discovered and he became a target. Fortunately, he acted sharply,
Before he was arrested, he realized something was wrong and ran away early. However, he still failed to escape from the tightly guarded arsenal. In the end, he was seriously injured and hid in a pressure relief tank.
The security director of the arsenal at the time thought he was dead, but he still sent people to search the whole factory. However, he was rushed into the isolation layer while hiding randomly, and was taken to the sewer when the water was released. At that time, he was injured due to collision.
I was poisoned by poisonous sewage, and I thought I was dead, but somehow I didn't die, and I survived by luck. Although I survived, I was tortured day and night by injuries and poisons, and even my basic ability to survive was lost, so I could only survive
He ate the garbage around him, and sometimes he could only eat other people's feces. It wasn't until a long time passed, maybe a few years, that his injuries and poison gradually recovered and receded. Since then, he has been living in the sewage of the arsenal.
In the system, it gradually became like this.
After hearing this, Heiting and Cologne could not imagine how amazing his will to survive was that allowed him to survive to this day, and they felt a sense of admiration in their hearts.
