Chapter 36 The Monster in the Tongzi Tower
"Haha, twenty people? Only Kai, a professional, is a little more difficult. The other newcomers are nothing to be afraid of."
"But the kid who was very close to the "Four-Armed Rakshasa" Qianjou before should have to be more careful and kill him first if there is a chance to avoid any accidents. ”
"Yes, Captain Kuntu."
"."
As soon as Kai gathered his gang to deal with the aberration incident, the "Steam Brotherhood" got the news and quietly ambush near the Tongzi Tower.
The desperate escape from the Elephant Tavern last time has become a source of ridicule for "Red Haired" Kuntu in the gang circle, making him embarrassed to show up in front of his peers recently.
Now that Senjo was no longer on Green Street, they were ready to take action again.
Although the city is much safer than outside the city, abnormal incidents often occur.
Old Linton City is an ancient ruins. Even after so many years of cleaning and excavation, some "cursed objects" whose curse properties have not completely dissipated are still found underground from time to time. These things are good things for professionals, but for ordinary people, they are like nightmares of radiation sources and can easily induce distortion.
There is also the air in the city. Although the dark spiritual power content is thinner than outside the city, it is enough to induce a small chance of distortion;
For hunters who have consumed contaminated food and drinking water and returned from hunting in high-distortion environments, several distortion incidents occur in major neighborhoods almost every month for various reasons.
And the frequency seems to have quietly increased in recent months.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is professionals who are out of control.
The essence of "distortion" is that the dark spiritual power in the body is uncontrolled, destroying the person's will, and then turning the body into a giant-looking monster, or other special forms.
After the distortion, the dark spiritual power in the human body will have no limit and skyrocket. Therefore, professionals who become monsters will be several times more powerful than they were in life, which is very difficult.
There are no city guards or public security departments in the outer city, and all abnormal incidents within the jurisdiction are handled by gangs.
Therefore, this is also the daily work of the Green Street Cross Gang.
Not long after the assembly order was issued, Su Lun had arrived at the broken building.
Recently, more than ten new people have joined, making up for the gang members who were killed in the battle to support the headquarters.
The assembly was very efficient. Before long, there were nearly twenty people in front of the broken building.
Su Lun was half an old man, and he was a little surprised when he saw that almost all the "newcomers" gathered in front of the broken building.
After waiting for a while, Kai counted the number of people and said as crisply as ever: "Okay, everyone is here and ready to go."
Dealing with aberration incidents is a good practical experience. After listening to Sam and the veterans, Su Lun knew that this time the captain planned to take the newcomers to open meat and practice actual combat.
Everyone got on the motorcycle. Kai explained the content of the operation and said: "It is said that many homeless people have disappeared over the Tongzilou in the past few days. Some people have seen corpses that have been eaten, and they have also seen deformed bodies. The monster may have been damaged in a nearby sewer, and a monster ran out. It may be that a "cursed object" has appeared. Anyway, our mission this time is to clean up the basement near the Tongzi Tower incident. If we are lucky, we may be able to find antique cursed objects buried underground; if not, we can also get a few cursed materials. . By then, everyone will have bonus points.”
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Let's go."
Everyone nodded: "Yes, Captain!"
Su Lun remained silent in front of the little transparent person as always.
Although "abnormal incidents" are daily emergencies faced by gangs, they are not without casualties, especially for inexperienced newcomers.
Su Lun was not careless at all.
He observed the people in the team and checked that his equipment was correct, then silently boarded the locomotive carrying several veterans.
In addition to the three bustling entertainment streets on Green Street, there is also a cluster of tube buildings on the north side, which is a "slum" in a civilian area.
The ruins of ancient buildings dating back thousands of years have preserved some dilapidated tube buildings that are still habitable, and therefore have gathered a large number of homeless poor, vagrants and thieves. But that is a place where even gangsters are reluctant to set foot. Plague, stench, filth and distortion are synonymous with that area.
Everyone on Green Street rushed all the way to Tongzi Tower, where people were already waiting.
"Captain Kai, you are here!"
The one who spoke was a little old man wearing linen clothes, "One-Eyed" Bravo. This guy is also the leader of thieves in the Green Street area. He has dozens of young and middle-aged men under him all year round, who specialize in making money by learning some stealing techniques.
Those with talents will also be sent to gangs to be trained as professionals.
It can be regarded as a personnel transportation organization under the Cross Society.
Kai nodded. He was familiar with the old man, so he asked politely, "Old man, where is the accident?"
Bravo: "You guys come with me."
The little old man led a group of people through the ruins.
The air was filled with a thick stench of sewerage.
Su Lun glanced at the surrounding environment from time to time, and saw sallow and thin human faces emerging from the simple shacks, staring at them curiously and timidly.
This is the resident in Tongzilou.
There were also some children of ten or eight years old, wearing rags and tatters, stepping on the ruins with bare feet. They followed the group on Green Street at a distance, their eyes filled with envy and longing.
There are many such poor people in the outer city. No one knows the exact number, but it is huge anyway.
Their lives are as cheap as rye, a life can be bought for a hundred liso. In such a harsh living environment, only sewer rats can survive, but they survived with tenacity.
The poor people in these shantytowns are also one of the most important reasons why the inner cities have given up on regulating these urban areas.
The Cross Society occasionally sends a shipment of food.
Because many gang members come out of here.
At least Kai, the captain, is.
The little old man sighed as he walked: "I don't know what happened recently. The monsters in the sewers seem to be very active. A few days ago, some people heard that they met some beautiful and borderless women in Snail Alley, haha. I Look, I’m afraid it’s some kind of deformed monster that’s trying to seduce people. Sure enough, within a few days, all the homeless people in that area disappeared.”
Su Lun was listening behind him, with thoughts in his eyes.
Beautiful women would be in the sleazy shops on Green Street, but never here.
But what kind of deformed monster can turn into a beautiful woman?
This again involves Su Lun's knowledge blind spot.
Not long after, the little old man led everyone on Green Street to the northernmost part of Tongzi Tower.
The smell of sewerage here is stronger, and it seems to be close to some pipe outlets.
The little old man pointed to a black tube building a few hundred meters away and said: "Some people saw deformed monsters appearing in that rotten building before. They move more frequently when the fog appears at night. But you should also be careful, that area There is a cave under the rotten building, and it seems to be connected to an underground pipe network. I don’t know what monsters are hidden there, so don’t go too deep.”
After hearing this, Kai waved his hand and said, "Okay, leave the rest to us."
Next comes the matter of the combatants.
He pulled the bolt of the gun, and then said to everyone in Su Lun behind him: "Brothers, let's get to work!"
The little old man didn't hesitate and stayed where he was.
Everyone put on gas masks and night vision goggles and strode into the broken building.
Suellen took the shotgun distributed by the gang and loaded it with a click.
Compared with pistols, this scattering musket is more suitable for dealing with aberrations. Even without alchemical bullets, a few more shots can beat the monster to pieces. (End of chapter)
