Following the source of the sound, Grayson noticed that dark green liquid was leaking out of the manhole cover next to Li Lin's feet, and he couldn't help but look shocked.
"What kind of monster is this..."
She reacted quickly and drew the pistol from her waist. Fortunately, Caitlin stopped her in time. "No, Sheriff Grayson, he is not an enemy."
Li Lin took two steps to the side, making room for Zack to concentrate his body.
At the same time, he turned back and explained to Grayson: "Zach is not a monster, he is the informant I mentioned before who can find Tucci."
However, Grayson, who had never seen such a strange creature before, still had his finger on the trigger of the pistol, and the vigilance in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
After a few seconds, the wriggling green slime completely took shape and turned into a "little giant" more than two meters tall, attracting the attention of a team of elite law enforcement officers not far away.
However, seeing that Sheriff Grayson did not say anything, they just frowned, kept their attention on Zack, and did not act rashly.
"I feel very uncomfortable..." The tentacles on Zack's head drooped down, and there was a hint of fear in his voice.
He could feel the malice of the surrounding law enforcement officers towards him, and subconsciously moved closer to Li Lin.
"Don't be afraid, Zach. They just don't understand you." Li Lin patted Zach's arm twice. "Besides, with Kate and I here, no one will hurt you."
Zack's yellow eyes quickly swept over Grayson and the law enforcement officers in the distance.
Immediately, he nodded and began to talk about business: "I found the giant rat you mentioned."
His tone was like a child trying to gain credit from an adult. "And you're right, it only has violent, negative emotions in its heart..."
Zach scratched his chin and paused to think for a moment, "How should I describe it... Oh, right, it's just like what Mom said, it's as if everyone owes it gold coins!"
Li Lin was amused by Zach's strange statement.
However, his childish remarks made Grayson relax a lot.
"Your name is... uh, Zack, right?" She put away the pistol and asked in a calm tone.
Zach could sense the hostility waning in the woman, so he was happy to talk to her. "Yes, it's the name my parents gave me. I like it."
"Okay Zack, you just said... that you've found Tucci's trail?"
Grayson seemed to see Zack's confusion and added, "Touchie is a giant rat in the sewers. He likes to kill people and collect their fingers and toes..."
"Oh yes, if you're talking about the sewers, there is indeed a giant rat, bigger than the teenage children in the gutter."
Grayson's expression lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Then can you lead us to find it?"
"Of course, this is what Li Lin asked me to do."
Grayson quickly waved to the team of law enforcement officers in the distance, asking them to gather over, and then assigned tasks to each team.
The first team was stationed in the factory sewer, where Tucci was hiding, to prevent the mutant rat from escaping there.
Since they happened to meet Zack, they didn't need Code, who was familiar with the terrain of the trench, to lead the way.
Therefore, Li Lin, Caitlin, the second and third law enforcement teams, along with Grayson, headed towards the middle level of the trench under the guidance of Zack, who had turned back into liquid form.
Li Lin in power armor, Storm suspended in mid-air, Caitlin and the fully armed law enforcement officers attracted the attention of many scavengers, homeless people and orphans in the gutter.
But except for a few ignorant children, most people would immediately stay away from them when they saw them.
When law enforcement officers are investigating a case, they won't take into account the people in the lower city's gutters whose lives are totally worthless.
Soon, the group came to a corner and opened the iron door in front of them, which was rusty, rotten, and covered with unknown mosses.
Through this passage, they can go directly down to the sewer transfer platform.
Fortunately, the stairs here are different from those in the factory. The stone stairs have not decayed or broken like the metal ones.
Grayson ordered two law enforcement officers to stay here, and the rest of the people went up the stairs to the platform next to the sewage in the underground sewer.
Grayson frowned and tried to suppress the nausea caused by the stench of sewer water that penetrated her breathing filter and entered her nostrils.
She looked around and asked Zach, who had re-condensed into a human form, "With so many forks in the road, where is Tuqi?"
Zack jumped off the platform without splashing any dirty water and went straight in one direction.
"Marcus, you take Team Two to stand guard here, Team Three should follow quickly."
Grayson had just assigned the task when Caitlin stopped him and said:
"No, there are too many people and it's easy to alert the snake. The rat has very keen senses. If we send a small team, the result might be like what happened this morning. It will be aware of our arrival in advance and continue to escape."
An elite law enforcement team usually consists of 12-15 people, and each member has his or her own duties and areas of expertise.
To fight in such a confined and cramped environment, one should select people with smaller and more flexible statures.
Grayson thought for a moment and thought Caitlin's words made sense, so he immediately changed his instructions: "Amos, Woodrow, Jotanshak..."
More than ten law enforcement officers whose names she called out stepped out.
They were holding weapons of different functional categories, including Hextech precision technology rifles, Hextech revolvers, and Hextech grappling hooks.
"Go around and outflank through other passages. Contact us via intercom if anything happens. Stay safe."
