Chapter 9 Meet Again
Yes, this shape is the aorta and its three branches in the human body. It connects to the heart and is the thickest blood vessel in the human body.
So, don’t worry whether Hannibal relies on his medical knowledge or often eats 'carbon heart tubes'. Anyway, he immediately recognized the meaning of these lines.
Ziliang nodded: "Well, yes, this is the aorta. It seems that this guy is much smarter than I thought. He saw me wearing a white coat, so he must have started with my profession. After all, except doctors, few people can understand the meaning of this dress, so even if this dart is picked up by others, they can't understand it."
"Well, it's really smart, but he told us what an aorta means, implying that he's waiting for us in a hospital?" Quinn said.
Ziliang smiled: "No, he is talking about the sewer."
If there is any necessary facility in a city, it is probably a sewer. It connects every corner of the city and flows under the appearance of wealth or poverty, like blood vessels hidden under the skin.
I don’t know when the sewer seems to have become a place of criticism, and it is taken for granted with nouns such as stench, dirty, darkness, etc.
Of course, there are also many people with literary aura who like to decorate these huge black and smelly pipes.
For example, someone once said: Sewers are the conscience of a city. Or they believe that sewers are built to cleanse the dirty soul of human beings.
Some people even say that they are a bit embarrassing, "I live in the sewer, but I still look up at the stars every night."
But no matter what, combined with the style of this world, the arteries carved on the dart made Ziliang unable to think of anything else except the sewer.
So, more than ten minutes later, in the shadow of a blown building, everyone lifted a manhole cover.
"Hey, can you still collect your stomach?" Shirley asked, looking at Old Joey stuck at the sewer entrance and rubbing her head.
"I'm working hard." Old Joey responded with difficulty.
"Actually, if you agree to me to apply a few blows on your stomach, I promise you can get in immediately, and afterwards, just wrap two bands of bandages and you will recover." Quinn said.
"I refuse!"
Well, just like that, it took everyone 1 minute to solve the puzzle on the dart, and then it took a full 20 minutes to finally fit inside and outside, stuffing old Joey into the sewer.
Inside the sewer.
As everyone thought, there was no light here. Billy took out a blown telephone booth from the ruins on the ground in advance, then dismantled it, and produced several high-power flashlights and distributed them to everyone.
And the smell of almost thickening into a paste, Hannibal took out some gum-like stuff, claiming that he could resist the stench as long as he chewed it in his mouth.
Well, even so, there were still a few people who refused to chew this thing. It was probably safer to smell the sewer in their eyes than to eat what Hannibal handed him to him.
Then, let’s talk less and the group will use the light emitted by the flashlight to move towards the city center.
"Uh, I'm not questioning you, but how did you know you were going to the city center?" Shirley asked as she walked.
Ziliang held a cigarette in his mouth: "Actually, I don't know, but people say it's the aorta and they didn't specifically mark any place. Then, naturally, follow this thinking and go to the middle position. Besides, even if you go wrong, that person will appear. In fact, you may not believe it. Our every move now may be under the surveillance of that person."
Shirley looked around, but apart from the aperture illuminated by the flashlight, there was only a rich darkness: "Well, I don't like being stared at, but you haven't explained clearly until now, who is the person you are talking about?"
"Hehe, it's just a rich second generation, and this rich second generation may be the key to whether we can defeat other cosmic elements, or even Superman."
The sewer was very long, and there was no reference to the surrounding area except for the stinky ditch and wet walls, so gradually the group didn't know how long they had been away.
However
Just as everyone walked to an inconspicuous T-junction
Suddenly, there were a few "clicks", which was the sound of bullets loading, which came from the shadows of the walls on both sides.
Immediately afterwards, there was a saying: "Don't move!"
During this period of time, everyone was just around the corner of the moment when they walked for a long time and were completely relaxed. Moreover, since the light of the flashlight could not penetrate the wall, as long as they were ambushed in advance at both sides of the T-junction, they could easily restrain the people passing by.
Ziliang and others were indeed hit by these sudden muzzles.
"Rise your hand!" The voice came again.
Ziliang hesitated for a second and actually raised his hands slowly.
When the others saw this, they were stunned. After all, how could this guy Ziliang be threatened by a few guns. But since he raised his hands, the rest of them did not ask much and raised their hands.
At this time, a soldier came out from the shadow directly in front of him.
The soldier wore a helmet and was wearing an explosion-proof suit, and he looked like he was wearing a fine weapon.
What's even more surprising is that there was a huge [s] painted on his chest!
"Hey, this seems a bit different from what we think." Quinn couldn't help but say, looking at the situation.
As soon as he finished speaking, more people walked out of the shadows around him. They were all wearing Superman government uniforms, and the muzzles in their hands were all aimed at Ziliang and others. After a while, they surrounded them firmly in the middle.
Well, this mutation was indeed a bit unexpected to everyone. They were supposed to be looking for Batman, but suddenly they were surrounded by Superman's troops.
Is it an ambush?
Superman felt that there was no way to kill this group of people on the surface, so he designed to lead the group of people into the sewer, then blow it up, and bury everyone alive?
OK, if this is true, then I can only say that this method is pretty good
And just now
On the roof of the sewer, several huge lickers had already climbed to the top of everyone's heads.
"Ao!!"
With an inhuman roar, a licker pounced down and pressed a soldier firmly to the ground.
"Damn, what's this thing!"
Seeing such a terrifying monster suddenly appear, the crowd suddenly became panicked, and all the muzzles turned to the licker almost at the same time, and then a series of "dadada" shots sounded.
However, most of the bullets hit the evolved [Licker. Change] body, and most of them were affected by the outer bones, so they did not play much role. Moreover, with these gunshots, the remaining Lickers also rushed out of the ceiling or from the nearby shadows. The dozen government troops were no match for these monsters at all, and the scene suddenly reversed.
And just as one of the lickers stretched out his terrifying tongue and wanted to penetrate a soldier's head.
"Enough!" A roar was shouted by a soldier with a helmet: "Stop, we are not enemies, this is just a temptation."
He shouted and took off his helmet with difficulty.
Under the helmet was a very old man, wearing glasses, with his head of white hair, and his face that was obviously wrinkled, and his pale skin that had not seen the sun for a long time.
