While Lin Qingliu was busy directing and acting in his own drama, testing out the true strength of Hope City, the sewers in the inner city were not at peace either.
As a legacy of a highly developed civilization, the central spire naturally has its own recycling treatment system, which is why the sewers in the inner city are generally circular in shape.
At this moment, a fierce gun battle was breaking out in the sewer.
Two hours ago, the plan of the purge team leader Zhuang Mian was being carried out as scheduled.
Her team was divided into several parts, and each member brought a group of security guards with them, and they started to clear the sewers from all directions.
As the captain, Zhuang Mian also personally led the team to join the battle.
In order to relieve her own command pressure, one of her junior classmates volunteered to join the operation.
The young man kept calling him "senior". Zhuang Mian, who was well versed in the ways of life, naturally didn't want to offend him.
The two made a clear division of labor before starting the operation. Zhuang Mian commanded and dispatched his team members through the communicator, while the junior named Tang Qing was responsible for the command of the security team members behind him.
Now that the division of labor was completed, the cleanup operation began.
Although the sweep of the sewers seemed to be a game of luck like Minesweeper, Zhuang Mian had actually already planned it out.
She had intentionally or unintentionally deployed reliable subordinates in several locations that she had agreed with El to focus on clearing. After all, she was not a devil and had no intention of stepping on the corpses of her teammates to get to the top.
The plan proceeded steadily, and as expected, the hideouts along the necessary routes began to be discovered one by one.
As a good place to hide things, the sewers are naturally guarded by people.
And the long culvert will infinitely amplify any slight sound.
Therefore, when the team entered the sewer as an organized unit, the exposure of their whereabouts was inevitable.
Up to now, the three teams have already started exchanging fire, and Zhuang Mian's expression couldn't help but become tense.
It’s almost my turn!
At the corner twenty meters ahead of the sewer, El used a broken mirror to observe the movements on the other side bit by bit.
Li Rui was standing behind him with his body on his back, waiting for orders.
Such a description sounds and looks overly horrifying, but it is definitely not as shocking as the shock Li Rui felt when he saw "his own" corpse the night before.
After a brief moment of panic, a greater fear surged into Li Rui's heart. He had no idea how such a realistic corpse could be made, and it was even more difficult for him to imagine what the backer standing behind El looked like.
After El fell asleep, he carefully examined the corpse. At first, Li Rui thought that the thing was made of something like rubber, but when he squeezed it twice, it felt exactly the same as human flesh and skin.
Whether it was the muscles, joints, or hair, everything seemed to be exactly the same as Li Rui.
Late at night, the frightened man finally did something irrational.
He pulled down the corpse's pants and began to explore when he was molded.
The answer is comforting. Wherever you can't see, this corpse is different from you.
This made Li Rui breathe a sigh of relief.
Although I still don't understand where this thing came from, the subtle differences at least show that the person behind El is not omniscient, otherwise it would be a bit too scary...
After Meimei slept for the second half of the night and half a day, the two finally arrived near the sewer and began to plan their action for the evening.
By now, Li Rui has learned his mission from El, which is to have a fierce gunfight with the enemy, and then use the corpses around him to replicate his own existence, so that the two of them can escape.
The Mind Flayer will completely withdraw from the battlefield after this operation, and everything from the household registration book to the wanted warrant will disappear.
After that, they will change their appearance and appear in the gray area with other identities, and this is exactly what Li Rui is good at.
"Here I come. Listen carefully."
"good."
Li Rui's memories were interrupted by El. When he heard the other party's words, his heart immediately rose to his throat.
Although El, who was crouching below, looked fearless, he was actually a little panicked.
After spending so much time in the Lower City, life-threatening things can no longer make this young man's heart beat faster, but acting can, and props can only be used once...
“Pah~ding!”
A slightly crisp sound was heard, and a security guard standing in front of Zhuang Mian looked down at his feet in surprise.
A second ago, his right foot stepped on a tripwire in the sewer water.
At the other end of the tripwire, a fist-sized cylinder had begun to emit smoke.
"alert!"
Zhuang Mian's voice sounded unusually majestic, but his heart was calm.
Everything is going according to plan.
"Now is the time to act!"
At the same time, at the corner of the corridor more than ten meters away, El also gave the order to act.
He and Li Rui each held a gun, jumped out from the corner and started shooting indiscriminately.
The two had no intention of hurting each other, so they aimed at different locations. Sometimes they shot bullets into the depths of an empty tunnel, and sometimes they shot bullets into the silt formed by unknown substances that had been produced in the sewers over the years.
Hearing the gunshots, Zhuang Mian, Tang Qing and his men on the other side also drew their guns and started shooting.
Of course, because of the smoke, Zhuang Mian and his companions could not aim well.
There was a burst of gunfire, but it became less and less frequent.
What's going on?
Zhuang Mian turned his head suddenly and asked Tang Qing to check the situation after he stood up.
"Captain, the smoke... cough cough! The smoke is poisonous!"
The security team member following behind Zhuang Mian pinched his own neck hard and fell backwards into the mud and water.
"Don't you have a gas mask?"
Tang Qing felt dizzy - this was not what he had expected.
Senior Zhuang Mian's plan obviously won high praise from the teacher, so it should have been perfect.
But now, with just a tripwire smoke bomb, the teammates behind him have almost all lost their combat effectiveness.
I have been cheated. This senior schoolmate is not worth my jealousy at all. She is a complete idiot!
Thinking of this, Tang Qing couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known that she was such a wimp, why would he have come to join in the fun?
Isn't it just to slap the other person in the face and find an opportunity to steal the credit from the other person?
Now, my teammates are so incompetent that they collapse at the slightest touch, and now I have become the big loser.
It was not until this moment that Zhuang Mian's voice of disappointment reached Tang Qing's ears:
"Alas, I am really neglecting my training. I have been training for two days, but I still can't even do basic operations like wearing a gas mask.
"I really don't know who their superior is. I have to check it out when I get back..."
