Chapter 449 The fragments in the shadow are.
The network signal light flickered, a faint light briefly lit up in the darkness, and then went out again.
Then it lit up again, a little brighter than before, but soon fell silent again.
However, it is worth noting that the monotonous gray duration when the signal light goes out is gradually getting shorter, while the flashing green light is becoming more urgent and appears more and more frequently.
Every time the green light comes on, it seems like a hopeful attempt, as if in the next second it will be able to break through the shielding of the underground shaft and completely connect back to the TV screens that thousands of households in District 9 are staring at with anticipation.
Deng Jia Jia was concentrating on adjusting the camera lens.
As the lens focused, several black pieces of plastic broken into the size of a fingernail could be vaguely seen at the bottom of the sewage.
Judging from the broken state of the plastic, they should have been shattered along with the shadow.
But apart from these debris, there were no other residues like clothing or lens debris in the sewage.
"This shows that [Masquerade]'s entire body is made up of shadows, including his clothes and glasses, all of which are somewhere between illusion and reality."
Deng Jiajia whispered to herself, frowning.
"If that's the case, why is there only one object on the shadow, and why is it broken? What on earth is this thing that cannot be condensed by the shadow, but must be carried on the body?"
Her eyes were fixed on the plastic fragments, as if trying to find the answer from them.
"What is it? What could it be?"
The gene that belongs to a journalist and seeks to uncover the truth is stirring in Deng Jiajia's body.
Deng Jiajia and the other two were so focused, their eyes fixed on their respective cameras, that no one noticed - the sewage under their feet shook slightly.
A winding shadow floated silently through the water, as thick as a fist, like a hidden black python extending, extending, and extending underwater.
At the same time, the rustling sound behind them became closer and louder.
Faintly, one could hear the mad dancing and collision sounds of some steel machinery, as if some chaos was coming over.
………
Feng Ju and Dong Ping ran along the pipeline, with the occasional roar from deep in the well echoing in their ears.
The sound was like the roar of a monster, or the scream of a human, with men and women mixed together, making people wonder if there was a horror party going on in the shaft ahead? The footsteps of the two people echoed dully in the metal pipe, their breathing was rapid, and their hearts were beating like drums.
"Faster, faster!"
Feng Ju urged in a low voice, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat. The mechanical black arm swung violently as he ran, and the hydraulic pipe made a "buzzing" sound.
Dong Ping followed closely behind, with a thinner mechanical silver arm flashing a cold luster. As he ran, he looked left and right, his heart pounding.
"Captain Feng, did you hear any strange sound, like the sound of waves surging?" Dong Ping pricked up his ears, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Feng Ju turned a deaf ear to them and just lowered his head even lower. He continued to run forward in the dim and intricate pipes without stopping for a moment.
There was another shaft junction ahead, and the roaring sound coming from afar became clearer and clearer, and seemed to be mixed with a man's sinister sneer.
The sound was getting closer, and Feng Ju could even vaguely hear the intermittent words in it:
"[Masked]... I ate... my boyfriend... where is the thing... hidden..."
Dong Ping pricked up his ears and couldn't help muttering, "What a mess! Who is talking to whom?"
However, just as he said this, he was suddenly struck by lightning. He froze instantly, his eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise and joy:
"Captain Feng, he... he seems to be talking about [Masked]?!!!"
Feng Ju was stunned for a moment, and his steps were instantly disrupted.
He stopped in a hurry, and before he had time to think or respond, he turned his head in horror to look to the right side of the right fork.
Hula hula hula——rustle rustle——
The sound was like the surging tide that Dong Ping had described, but it was also mixed with the harsh sound of countless sharp claws scratching on rust, which made one's scalp tingle.
So, this is...? ?
Feng Ju and Dong Ping's pupils contracted violently at the same time, and their backs were instantly covered with cold goose bumps.
All I saw was a mass of dark shadows. They were rats, thousands and thousands of them, crowded together.
Some crawled on the pipe walls, their sharp nails scraping against the metal surface, making a teeth-grinding sound;
Even more of them were stepping on the backs of their own kind, layer upon layer, circle upon circle, piled tightly inside and outside, like a black torrent, madly pouring into their eyes.
"Old... rats! Why are there so many rats pouring out of this sewer?"
Dong Ping was terrified to the extreme, his eyeballs were spinning wildly in his eye sockets like out-of-control marbles.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Mouse: “…” We are in the sewer, so where should we go?
"Be careful!" Feng Ju's face suddenly changed.
He reacted extremely quickly, and his thick mechanical arm suddenly raised up and smashed down hard on several black rats that were flying towards him with bared fangs and claws and kicking legs.
Puff—puff—puff—
There were several continuous muffled sounds of flesh and blood bursting, and dirty blood splattered everywhere, staining Feng Ju and Dong Ping's mechanical arms red. The broken black fur stuck to the metal surface, looking particularly hideous.
However, this bloody scene did not make the rats retreat at all.
On the contrary, they seemed to be triggered by bad memories and instantly fell into a collective frenzy, rushing towards the two of them even more crazily.
At the bottom of the shaft, sewage was flowing everywhere. A large number of rats swam over and scrambled to climb up the trouser legs of the two men. In mid-air, the rats kicked the pipe wall with their hind legs, stretched their bodies as if gliding, and scratched the cheeks of the two men with their sharp claws. On the pipe wall, the rats climbed nimbly and bit the two men's waving mechanical arms fearlessly.
For a moment, the scene was like a weird and crazy "three-army battle". The mice attacked from all directions by land, sea and air, and fought in three-dimensional coordination to launch a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the two "Attack on Titan".
Feng Ju and Dong Ping were horrified and almost instinctively waved their mechanical right arms at the same time.
The metal joints vibrated with a "buzzing" sound, and power exploded in an instant. The mechanical arm drew a sharp arc in the air and smashed hard into the oncoming group of rats.
Pong——pong——pong——
The mechanical arm was extremely powerful. Every swing of it could smash several mice into pieces, turning them into pools of meat paste.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, staining the originally dark tube walls red. The air was quickly filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
However, there were too many rats.
They seemed endless, one wave after another, one after another, rushing over continuously.
Dong Ping was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he could hardly stand.
He kicked his legs hard to crush the rats on the ground, the mechanical arm danced wildly in front of his face, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Captain Feng, what should we do? There are so many rats, we can't stop them at all!"
