When Huang Tu Baye resealed the stone lid above, the whole sewer was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Chu Nan took out the night pearl, and then the darkness was dispersed, and he could barely see clearly within a few meters in front and behind.
something.
Chu Nan looked down and saw that the sticky sewage had reached the lower edge of his knees and was still bubbling slowly, which made him feel sick. He held up the Night Pearl and shook it back and forth. The two ends of the sewer
It was all dark. There were only two of us, so it was obviously unrealistic to act separately.
Chu Nan casually pointed in one direction and said to the glasses man: "Let's go this way first and take a look."
The glasses man nodded.
As scholars said, the bad smell in the drainage channel has become toxic all year round, but fortunately, the toxicity is not high. After making preparations in advance and bringing some poison resistance equipment, I basically take a bottle of high-grade gold sore medicine occasionally.
It will be offset back.
The further you go, the thicker the sewage becomes like silt. Every step you take will stir up a pungent stench. It must be said that every step requires a lot of courage.
Damn it, this is simply not done by humans! Chu Nan kept muttering to himself.
Originally, the drainage channel only had one straight path, but it bifurcated immediately before walking more than 100 meters. Chu Nan had no choice but to bite the bullet and resign himself to his fate and chose a side again. But this time, he didn't go 50 steps and blocked the path.
The road ahead is clearly a dead end.
Damn it! He cursed in his heart and went back to the other fork, but what made him furious was that it was also a dead end.
The glasses man also shrugged helplessly.
The two of them returned to the original starting point and walked to the other end, but it was still a dead end.
At this time, the glasses man was also speechless: "Is the clue given by the scholar incorrect?"
Chu Nan thought for a while and said: "Maybe... we may have misunderstood. He said that the drainage channels in Glory City have always been intact. The one we picked now is already a piece of silt. It is simply a pool of stagnant water. It is definitely not intact.
, that is to say, we have to start with intact and functioning sewers.”
When the glasses man heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Chu Nan took out the sound pickup shell and called Huang Tu Baye.
The sound pickup shell is quite convenient. As long as one person carries it with him, he can hear Chu Nan's call.
"So soon, have you got any clues about Grote's accomplices?" Huang Tu Baye's surprised voice came from Chu Nan's pickup box.
"No, it's a dead end. We have to look for it again. Quickly remove the stone cover. We need to get out."
Soon, Huangtu Baye moved the stone cover above, allowing Chu Nan and Spectacle Man to come out. This time, Chu Nan also learned his lesson and did not move in a hurry when he found the manhole cover.
Instead, he listened carefully to the movement under the manhole cover. If he could hear the sound of water flowing, it meant that the sewer was operating normally. But to his disappointment, he searched in a secluded alley.
There are several well covers, but if you listen carefully, it's all dead silence down there.
"Did I guess wrong again, or are all the sewers in Glory City dead?" Chu Nan frowned, and he quickly ran to the main street to find a manhole cover, but because the crowd was too noisy,
He had to lie down and almost put his ears to it, and then he finally heard the sound of trickling water.
You guessed it right! The sewer under the main street is indeed functioning normally.
but……
Chu Nan stood up and looked around. Not to mention that there were three NPC guards on patrol. As long as he asked Huang Tu Baye to move the manhole cover, the three NPC guards would immediately pounce on him, not to mention that they would also move the manhole cover.
The area of the underground drainage channel was exposed, which made subsequent operations more troublesome.
"What should we do?" The glasses man was at a loss for ideas, "Should we continue searching in a remote alley?"
"What if the drainage channels over there are all blocked?" Chu Nan's worry is not unreasonable. There are too many remote alleys in Glory City. It is very tiring to check them one by one, and it is easy to do it yourself.
Get muddy.
At this time, Huang Tu Baye suddenly remembered something, pulled Chu Nan and said: "I seem to remember something. When I was walking around in the Adventure Guild the day before yesterday, I vaguely saw a manhole cover mission.
It's related, but because it looked like an errand task, I didn't look through it in detail. Maybe it has something to do with what you are looking for?"
"Nine times out of ten! Let's go take a look first." Chu Nan shouted excitedly, and at the same time, he immediately changed direction and ran to the Adventure Guild, praying in his heart that this mission would never be completed by anyone.
Fortunately, he was very low on the Adventure Guild's task list and finally found the task called "The Lost Manhole Cover" that Huang Tu Baye mentioned.
The mission content is that the manhole covers have been lost frequently in the southwest residential area of Glory City in the past two days. Although the missing manhole covers have been replaced in time, the guard captain of Glory City still wants to find the person who stole the manhole covers.
Thief.
This task still requires level 30, so it is obviously not an errand task for beginners. However, in the past three days, basically level 30 players have been focused on the task of searching for Grot's accomplices. Who would care about the arrest of such an errand boy?
Thief mission.
"Form a team!" Chu Nan brought Huang Tu Baye in, and then took over the task of "The Disappearing Manhole Cover".
The content of the mission included a map with detailed markings on the southwest residential area of Glory City, so this almost gave Chu Nan the direction.
"Have you prepared anything?" Chu Nan asked Huang Tu Baye after walking out of the Adventure Guild.
"Don't worry, I made preparations when you went down there before. Although it stinks extremely bad, I endured it for the sake of my mission." Huang Tu Baye patted his chest and said.
About 15 minutes later, Chu Nan arrived at the area designated for the mission. Sure enough, there were several well covers in this area, and there was the sound of water flowing below. Chu Nan scanned around to make sure there was no one nearby before letting Huang Tu Baye go.
Move and remove the manhole cover.
After Huang Tu Baye removed the manhole cover, he leaned over to smell it and said, "The smell here seems a little better than before, but it still smells bad."
Chu Nan was speechless.
After the three people went down, they followed the flow of sewage towards the source.
After passing several forks, Chu Nan suddenly heard a vague voice, but when he stopped Huang Tu Baye and Glass Man to listen carefully, the voice suddenly disappeared.
"Are you sure you heard correctly?" Huang Tubaye said quietly, "We are not far from the ground here. If someone is talking above us, we can hear it."
This possibility is still possible. After all, Chu Nan heard sounds from above the ground several times along the way, but this time it was different. He clearly heard an echo, which should have come from deep in the drainage channel.
"Perhaps we alerted them." Chu Nan warned vigilantly. The splashing noise made by stepping on the sewage along the way was quite large. It was most likely that the other party had the same reaction after hearing the approach of the three of them.
