Apocalyptic waste

Chapter 183 Underground Dwellers

Song Yan really has a way.He seemed to be very familiar with this place, and without asking anyone, he led Li Muran around, and soon came to a street that was almost deserted, and then... got into the sewer.

Li Muran knows that the sewers in Huaguo are small and narrow, not to mention leaving people, even if there are two heavy rains, the city will turn into a river. Yan is tall enough to walk inside without having to bend over.On the side of the waterway, there is a cement channel for sanitation workers to clean up sewage and garbage, but it is very dry. When the manhole cover box is put on, the surrounding area instantly becomes dark.Li Muran thought they were going to stay here overnight, although her nose was filled with the unique stench of sewers, but she finally had a place to live, of course she didn't care.

Snapped!When a light came on, it was Song Yan who lit the lighter. Although he doesn't smoke, he likes to carry a lighter with him.Fortunately, otherwise, the two of them would have been in the dark.

The faint fire light dispelled the hellish darkness, and the sense of uncertainty in people's hearts dissipated a lot.

"Follow me." Song Yan glanced at Li Muran who was about to sit down on the floor, and said, he let go of his thumb, the flame of the bean size went out, and the surroundings returned to being invisible again.

Li Muran was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed without asking where he was going.It seemed that since the two first met before the end of the world, she had always followed behind him, and she gradually got used to it.But after walking for a while, she couldn't help but uttered: "Director, you don't need to push hard, I can see." It turned out that Song Yan was afraid that she would not be able to see, so he stomped on the ground deliberately, and the dull footsteps could not be heard in the dark sewer. Stop echoing, but hear people's hairs stand on end.

Song Yan didn't answer, but the footsteps disappeared.

Except for the smelly spots, the air in the sewer was not as stuffy as imagined, and the two of them didn't feel short of breath after walking for a while, but the inside was open in all directions. If you are not very familiar with people, you will definitely get lost in it.And Song Yan only occasionally lit the lighter to take a picture on the wall next to him, and then continued without much pause.

Seeing that he was so confident, Li Muran couldn't help feeling a little hopeful, maybe they wouldn't have to spend the night in the sewer.However, this thought was about to pass by, and her mental power, which was probing outside, found something abnormal, and before she could remind Song Yan, he had already stopped.

"Be careful, there are people in front." Although Song Yan doesn't have Li Muran's ability to extend his mind, his eyes and ears are very sensitive. In addition, the sewer is extremely quiet, and even slight noises can be heard far away.However, there were people in the sewers, which he hadn't expected in advance. Could it be that Changlin is already so strict that even the sewers have to be inspected?His brow furrowed.Fortunately, Li Muran resolved his confusion in time.

"There are more than 20 people in total. It seems that they should live here."

Rao is like this, it is better not to fight face-to-face with those people, who knows what will happen.But they happened to be on the drainage channel that Song Yan was going to go, and they couldn't avoid it.Song Yan thought for a while, and said: "Come closer and have a look." He has come here, and he is willing to turn back, and if he changes his way, he will probably get lost in it, so the risk is just that. Still have to take a risk.

After turning a corner, I saw the flames in the distance.If you walk closer, you can see a row of simple sheds built close to the walls. Most of the materials are rotten wood, cardboard, textile bags, broken sofas and other waste. There are seven or eight in total.Probably in order to save firewood, everyone was outside at this time, lighting a fire. In the endless darkness on both sides, it was like a pontoon floating in the sea, and it would disappear without a trace when a big wave hit it.

Song Yan observed carefully for a while, and found that those people were all yellow and thin, like refugees, and they would live here, maybe they were renting houses without crystal cores like them, or they were shady, and their combat effectiveness seemed to be very limited.Thinking of this, he motioned for Li Muran to follow him, and then deliberately lowered the sound of his footsteps.Sure enough, those people were like frightened birds, quickly dismantled the shack, rolled up all their belongings, stamped out the fire two or three times, and then ran away.The movements are neat and fast, comparable to the peddlers who saw the urban management before the end of the world.So the two passed that section of road smoothly unexpectedly, but soon they found a person behind their buttocks.

Song Yan turned his mind and signaled Li Muran to move forward, but he stopped at the same spot, leaning slightly against the passage wall.It didn't take long before the sound of light footsteps and breathing approached, and when one hand was groping for the wall where he was, he quickly grabbed the other's palm, twisted and turned, already He pinned the person against the wall with his elbow, unable to move.

There was a short scream in the darkness, followed by the sound of heavy breathing caused by pain.There is no ability, this person is not a person with abilities.Although he had made a judgment earlier, Song Yan was still secretly relieved after confirming it.

Snapped!The lighter was turned on, and a thin and shapeless face was reflected. On that face, black-framed glasses with a broken leg and tied with a rope hung crookedly. It was impossible to tell his age for a while. .

"Why follow us?" Song Yan asked coldly.And Li Muran, who had already walked a certain distance, also fell back, barely stopping outside the range of the firelight.

"Who is following you? I can't go this way, you bought it..." The man's forehead was soaked with a thin layer of sweat, but he still spoke stiffly, as if he was walking on the street.

Song Yan snorted, and grabbed his four fingers with all his strength, the man cried out in pain immediately, and said repeatedly: "I said, I said...you need to be gentle, your hand will be broken...if you want to... It's broken..." Feeling the slight loosening of the grip on him, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You are new here, don't you know that you are going to visit the pier? Just wandering around here, that is, meeting our boss, If you want to change to another person, I'm afraid I don't know how to die. Hey, hey, let me go, I won't run away, I will live here, why should I run... If you have something to say, let's sit down and discuss it, big brother? Ouch, Grandpa... I can call you Grandpa Headquarters, do we have to do this?"

Now that he has confirmed that the other party is not a person with supernatural powers, Song Yan will not force him too much, and he let go when he heard the begging for mercy.Of course, he is not afraid of people running away, unless he has the supernatural ability of Li Muran, otherwise even if the supernatural person wants to escape under his watchful eye, it will not be an easy task.

"My boss is surnamed Zhong. If you want to live here, you must meet him first and pay some respects..." the man said while rubbing his sore palm.

Song Yan saw that he was talking nonsense but didn't talk about the main point, so he couldn't help but snorted again. The man who had a tendency to chatter stopped abruptly, smiled obsequiously, and finally turned to the topic: "This is not what we are going to talk about." Are you having trouble with the bastard with the surname of Qiu in the Eastern District? I was afraid that you were sent by them, so Boss Zhong sent me to follow up." As for whether he will do something wrong after Chou Chou, of course he would not be stupid to say that come out.

"Your name." Song Yan asked.He turned off the hot lighter, and the surroundings were once again plunged into darkness.

"Four eyes... Ah bah! No, brother, I didn't baw you, my name is Lu Pangpang." Probably because he felt that his nickname was really bad, he chose to get the same bad name himself, "I am Zhongzhou People from Changshi, where are you from? You are so skilled, it’s right to come to us, it’s no better than being a pug for those bastards. They are all the same people. Many people used to be worse than us. What, right, brother."

This person is simply a chatterbox, Song Yan became impatient, and finally stopped him: "You can answer whatever I ask, and you don't have to talk anymore if you say one more nonsense!"

So fierce!Lu Pangpang relied on the darkness that people couldn't see it, so he grinned his teeth and made a grimace, and then said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, brother, don't worry, if I..." He stopped the car in time, and at the same time secretly wiped his face. In a cold sweat.It stands to reason that he should have fled the moment the other party turned off the lighter, but for some reason, he didn't dare to move, he felt as if there was a wild beast staring at him in the dark, as long as he moved slightly, They will pounce on him and devour him.He called it a sense of crisis, and thought it was best to follow his instincts at times like this, so he honestly didn't dare move.

"Why do you live in this sewer?" Song Yan asked.

"What? You don't know? You don't know what you're doing here?" Lu Pangpang was definitely not pretending to be surprised this time. In fact, he had various guesses about the origins of the two, but there was no guess that they would Don't know anything about it here.However, he reacted immediately after being surprised, and corrected his mistake in time for himself to be able to speak freely in the future. "Oh, okay, let me say, I'll say it now."

It turns out that although the management of the non-awakened people in the imperial capital base is very strict, as long as there is strict intentions, there will be loopholes to exploit. The biggest loophole in the capital base is the huge sewer that was built under Changlin City before the establishment of Xinhua Kingdom.So those ordinary people who wanted to live in the base but didn't know any supernatural beings, let alone sell themselves as slaves, settled down here.As for the managers of the base, they seem to know nothing about it, because they have never been wiped out.Although they are short of food and clothing, they still live in a safe place, probably because they seldom cause trouble.Of course, if this rarely causes trouble, it is also helpless.Because their food sources are very limited, they could snatch from the ordinary people above at the beginning, but after a few times, they would be prepared and would never go outside with food again, while the shops that specialize in buying and selling food could not go outside. With more supernatural beings guarding them, naturally they have nothing to do.So, apart from picking up food thrown away by others, they can only do illegal work for others.However, these two items are also not so easy to do, because at this time, unlike before the end of the world, waste can be seen everywhere. Now, unless it is the kind of person who has never been hungry since the beginning of the end of the world, and has always been pampered and ignorant of the sufferings of the world, Otherwise, people will cherish food very much, and very few people will throw it away at will.As for working illegally, it is actually helping the ordinary people living above to do things that they are unwilling to do. If you are lucky, you can get a few crystal nuclei or a little food. I can't get paid even if I do it, and I can't make a fuss about it, but in any case, it's more rewarding than picking up junk.Even this kind of illegal work is not something you can get if you want to. Every time a copy is released, several people will fight for it.

"Didn't you say that the inspections in the base are strict, and everyone must bring a certificate?" Song Yan asked.He didn't think these people had certificates, and even if they had them before, they probably wouldn't dare to use them now.

As soon as he said this, Lu Pangpang suddenly calmed down, not as eager to rush to talk as he did at the beginning, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said: "It seems that you guessed it, yes, we didn't sneak into the base, They are runaway slaves, and there are some who don’t want to drag relatives and friends... Those certificates must not be used anymore. We use fake certificates that are sold at high prices on the black market. Everyone finds a way to get one or two, and whoever goes up will bring it. Anyway There are no photos to prove who is who."

It seems that the industry of false testimony is very popular no matter what time it is.This idea came to Li Muran's mind, and he heard Lu Pangpang change the subject, "Brother, you should find someone or a place, as long as you give me an ordinary crystal nucleus, you can eat, Bao Zhun will take care of it for you That's right." This guy's mind turned quickly, and he started business again in a blink of an eye.

"No need." Song Yan said lightly.

"How about two biscuits, no, one is fine." Lu Pangpang still didn't give up.

"No, you can go." After asking all the necessary questions, Song Yan was impatient and said to him again.

"This... well, brother, if you want to do something good in the future, you must think about it, brother. I'm here. When you come, just tell people to find four-eyed chickens." In principle, Lu Pangpang gave another warning before leaving, and still exposed the nickname he didn't want to say.

Four-eyed chicken?Li Muran thought the name was very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it, until he followed Song Yan into a side road before calling out loudly.

"What's wrong?" Song Yan thought she had discovered something again, so she stopped and asked.

"I remembered. Brother Chen said he had a friend named Four-Eyed Chicken, and Brother Yi also knew him." Li Muran replied.That night of heavy rain, before they decided to leave the community, they discussed where to go, and Rou Tachen mentioned the four-eyed chicken.Fortunately, she has a pretty good memory, otherwise, after so long, how could she still remember what someone said casually at that time.
