374 Mermaid Laboratory 16
The sewers were pitch black, and Bai Lixin was the first to go down.
The strong light of the flashlight shone around, and the stench of the sewers looked no different from ordinary sewers.
He had wandered around the area closer to the entrance during the day, so he was familiar with it.
Just as he looked around, there was a "squeak" sound from above his head, he raised the flashlight towards the top of his head, and the manhole cover of the sewer had been covered.
At the same time, Bai Lixin heard the chat tone in the system.
He opened the chat window and found that the glasses had sent a message inside.
[I have closed the sewer cover, what do I need to do now? 】
Bai Lixin: [Lock the door, move the bed back to its original position, and pay attention to the movement outside. Also, pay attention to safety and protect yourself. 】
Glasses paused for a few seconds before replying again: [Okay, Xin Shen, got it. 】
Xia Chi approached Bai Lixin immediately. He raised a flashlight and looked around. Just like the usual sewer in reality, the top of this sewer is semi-circular, and the hard limestone is exposed in some places, exposing the inside. Solid metal steel frame.
The place where they are standing now should be a relatively central sewer main road. The foul-smelling and turbid water flows continuously in one direction from the channel in the middle door, and there will be some floating garbage in the water from time to time.
Bai Lixin put the flashlight in the waste water ditch.
Among the rubbish floating on the water were their leftover food, plastic bags, and other wastes such as hair.
He had read these once during the day, and found nothing special.
These rubbish are very common household rubbish, and the equipment such as needles used in experiments should be specialized medical rubbish, and have not been disposed of through this sewer.
Xia Chi unconsciously frowned and pinched his nose, "It stinks, brother, but this sewer looks pretty normal."
Bai Lixin: "It smells better."
Xia Chi: "? What?"
Brother, do you have a special hobby that I don't know about? Like stinky fetishes?
Bai Lixin: "If the smell of the sewer you smell is fragrant, do you think it is the problem of the sewer, or your own problem? Would you feel more terrible?"
Xia Chi instantly made up for what Bai Lixin said, and his face instantly showed a disgusting expression, "Hey, brother, what you said is disgusting, I don't like to eat shit."
Bai Lixin: "..."
Did I remind you of this? !
I mean, a normal body is always stronger than a mutant body!
Is the brain hole of the motherland flower a little big?
Don't you have anything to say?
A flash of light radiated a faint light in Xia Chi's mind.
He's making trouble, it's laughing.
Bai Lixin glanced at Lin Xiao, the man in suit who followed him. Even in such a chaotic place, his suit was still straight, without a trace of creases, and all the bangs on his forehead were combed behind his head, and there was no trace of it at all. Messy.
Unlike Xia Chi, whose whole body was crawled by fleas, Lin Xiao stood there with a calm expression, and his facial features did not change.
Bai Lixin: "Lin Xiao, don't you feel bad?"
Lin Xiao showed a polite yet alienating smile, "Stinky, but I can endure it. Don't look at me looking pampered, but my endurance is very strong. I can endure it in extreme cold and pain. ."
Bai Lixin retracted his gaze silently, "Let's go."
The three walked in the order of the water flow, with Bailishin walking at the front, and they were not walking very fast. Bailishing kept shaking the flashlight in his hand as he walked, sweeping back and forth towards the surroundings.
In the empty sewers, except for the sound of rushing water, it was the sound of their footsteps.
Suddenly, there was a discordant "bulubulu" sound in the water that had been rushing all the time, and Bailishin agreed.
Shi Shi shone the flashlight into the waste water, and saw small bubbles bubbling above the turbid waste water. The small bubbles opened up due to the tension of the water, and then burst open one by one.
There are three beams of light hitting that position at the same time.
The moment they heard the sound, Xia Chi and Lin Xiao also flashed the goalkeeper's flashlight.
Xia Chi changed the noise just now, looked at Bai Lixin, and cautiously took out a dagger from his backpack, and instantly the door entered a fighting state.
Bubbles in the water popped out again, and then, in the light of the flashlight, they vaguely saw what seemed to be slowly swimming beneath the surface of the water.
In the next second, the water surface suddenly exploded, and a black shadow jumped out of the water surface and rushed into the sky two or three meters above the water surface.
Xia Chi's eyes and the light of the flashlight subconsciously chased the shadow and lifted it up. When he saw what it was, Xia Chi breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be just a fish."
Leaping out of the water was a pitch-black fish that looked like a catfish.
Xia Chi remembers reading before and seeing that catfish have a strong resistance to the living environment, and they can adapt well to and multiply in the places where the environment is harsh and dirty.
He was watching the news at the time and saw that some people specially raised catfish in the stinky ditch, just because there are no natural enemies around, the catfish can reproduce wildly, but it will increase sales. For this reason, he has not eaten catfish for a long time, and always thinks that it is one of the dirtiest fish.
It's not surprising that catfish appear in a stinky ditch like this... ah, ah, what the hell!
The catfish turned over in mid-air, and the face that was originally facing them turned towards them, and Xia Chi finally saw the catfish's face.
Originally, only one fish mouth had grown three heads, and its head was like a cluster of sarcoma, which looked very disgusting.
I originally thought that this was the distortion of the body caused by environmental pollution, but when the fish made the next move, it almost didn't send Xiachi away on the spot.
"Catfish" opened its eyes.
Yes, the eyes.
The sarcomas that Xiachi originally thought were small grapes opened a crack from the middle door at the same time, revealing the huge dark eyeballs inside.
Xia Chi didn't count how many, but a rough calculation should be at least dozens.
Dozens of round black eyeballs seem to have their own thoughts, each turning back and forth, the whites of their eyes flying everywhere.
It wagged its tail in mid-air, and opened its mouth to reveal jagged, sharp, ugly fangs.
Xia Chi was almost sent away by its ugly appearance, he stood there and stared at the "catfish" for a second, and when he saw the catfish getting closer, he looked at Bai Lixin with uncertainty, " Brother, why do I feel like it's rushing towards us?"
Bai Lixin: "..."
When the words fell, the originally calm surface of the wastewater exploded again, this time with a louder sound, and one after another, the catfish monsters opened their sharp fangs and rushed towards them.
Bai Lixin: "Run."
After all, he grabbed Xia Chi's wrist, who was still in a daze, and ran quickly towards the depths.
When running, Bai Lixin's eyes were silently looking behind and beside him. These menacing catfish monsters seemed to be just coming at them. The catfish monsters had strong elasticity, and their bodies kept jumping out of the water and falling back again. in the water.
Some catfish monsters washed up on the shore, not only did not wait to die in place, but crawled forward using the strong fins of their abdomens as support.
Some returned to the waste water, while others continued to chase after the shore.
Behind him and Xia Chi was a long row of catfish monsters, but there was nothing behind Lin Xiao.
Xia Chi ran out of breath behind Bai Lixin, shouting as he ran, "Brother, what the hell is this?"
Bai Lixin: "I don't know, special species."
In the special species laboratory, it seems that mermaids are not the only ones.
Xia Chi wanted to cry without tears: "Say
What about the beautiful dream mermaid? Why does the painting style change when it reaches the sewer? The script is wrong. "
Bai Lixin tilted his head slightly, Lin Xiao ran unhurriedly beside them, moving at a high speed, even his breath did not change.
The catfish monster behind him was chasing after him, and the sewer in front of him was divided into two, and a fork in the road appeared.
"Xiachi." Seeing the fork in the road, Bai Lixin instinctively shouted behind him, "Which way to go?"
Suddenly, Xia Chi, who was cued at such a critical time, froze in an instant. Something sticky seemed to touch his ankle. He lowered his head subconsciously, and saw that the catfish monster had caught up to his feet. , was trying to crawl on him with icy fins.
"Ah, ah! Go right, right, right, right!" All the hairs on the whole body stood up at that moment, Xia Chi suddenly accelerated, rushed to the front and pulled Bailishin's hand away. All that was left was dust.
Bai Lixin: "..."
Is the explosive power under fear so strong?
After turning the fork, Bailishin looked back and saw that the catfish monster had obviously slowed down at the fork, some had stopped chasing, and some were still rushing towards them.
At this moment, the water surface exploded again.
Xia Chi looked back and saw the sparks soaring into the sky, and was about to despair.
Just when he thought that a new catfish monster appeared, a three-meter-long monster suddenly burst out of the water, opened its fangs and swallowed the catfish monsters that had jumped into the air.
The strange fish crossed an arc in mid-air and plunged back into the water. Judging from the fins protruding from the water, it swam in another fork in the opposite direction.
Few of the catfish monsters were left, and eventually disappeared into the filthy water.
Several people stopped, and Xia Chi was panting heavily against the cold wall.
Mad, who said this sewer is normal? ! Is it normal at all? !
Other people's sewers need noses, and this sewer needs both noses and lives!
Oh, so I said it myself.
That's fine.

["This sewer looks quite normal"]
[Xia Chi: I'm careless, damn it! 】
[Xia Chi has been with Xin Shen for three years, and he still hasn't understood the mechanism of Xin Shen's copy, which is too naive. 】
[Cough, cough, I want to say a few words for Xia Chi, it's not three years, have you forgotten that there is a window of more than two years? At that time, Xin Shen was in Yongheng Diamond Mountain. 】
[Looking at this copy, I have the feeling that I am watching an alien. But isn't this plot change a bit big? Just half a day ago, it was a beautiful and eye-catching mermaid, and now it has suddenly become such a disgusting monster. My heart tells me that I can't stand this contrast. 】
[Xin Shen: Normal performance, normal performance, thank you for watching. 】
[Xin Shen: Are you polite? 】

Xia Chi's stamina isn't that bad, but he was suddenly hit just now, causing him to lose his temper.
After resting for two or three minutes, Xia Chi regained his strength. He looked at the place where the catfish monster disappeared, and then looked at the dark wall above his head, and then swallowed, "Brother. , where have we been?"
Bai Lixin shrugged, "I don't know, you chose the road. This road is not the same as the one I recorded, but it doesn't matter, just keep going."
"Do you really continue to move forward?" Lin Xiao, who had not spoken much, said slowly, with a calm voice in his voice, "I don't know what will be on this road, but it must be better than the catfish monster and the strange fish just now. more dangerous."
Xia Chi: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiao: "Blood suppression."
"In nature, sheep do not
Will appear in wolf-infested areas, and sardines will swim around sharks. The weaker side will deliberately avoid areas where species at the top of the food chain are located. The catfish monster did not dare to approach here, and the strange fish only dared to ambush its prey at the fork in the road. After eating the catfish monster, it swam in the opposite direction. Here they are afraid to approach, there should be species that they are all afraid of. "
Lin Xiao continued to speak after a slight pause, "So, do we have to move on?"
As soon as the question was asked, he quickly learned the answer from the actions of the other two.
Seeing Bai Lixin walking forward and Xia Chi following behind Bai Lixin, Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed.
He did not continue to speak, but silently looked at the two people walking in front.
Xia Chi's fear is not fake, he is really afraid.
But when he knew that there was danger ahead, he still went backwards.
Bai Lixin is also very strange, actually handing over the choice to the seemingly useless player, is it because he wants Xia Chi to take the blame?
Just like some players who are afraid of making mistakes, in order to reduce their guilt, they hand over the choice to others, so that once others make mistakes, he can blame others without hesitation from the commanding heights of morality.
Just like those who used to be.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and looked at Bai Lixin with a bit of gloom that he thought was unknown.
Bai Lixin quietly glanced at the man behind him: "..."
s419: [Master host, this person named Lin Xiao seems to be somewhat hostile to you, but I don't know why. 】
Escape system: [Hostility? Bai Lixin is such a good person, why would anyone not like him? How strange. 】
s419: [Silly sister, people's preferences are their freedom, not a good person must be liked by everyone. Either because of interests or because of behavior, it is possible to make one type of group resent another type of group. 】
Escape system: [But this is too much. Will Master Bai Lixin be sad? 】
s419: [You underestimate the host too much. Even if there are people who don't like gold coins and points, the host will not care about these. 】
Bai Lixin: [I can see his hostility towards me. 】
s419: [What are you going to do now? 】
Bai Lixin: [Cold, he is just hostile to me, he has no intention of hurting me, there is no need to react. 】
"It's weird," Xia Chi's voice sounded beside Bai Lixin. He was walking in the sewer with his palms spread out on the wall: "Brother, have you heard any strange noises?"
"It's a bit like the sound of smashing something, Tada, Tada, but it's not very similar."
He put his ear against the wall of the sewer, and curled his fingers with the back of his fingers to rub the wall with uncertainty: "Why does it seem to be coming from the wall?"
Bai Lixin pulled his consciousness back to reality and walked to the wall, imitating Xia Chi's posture and clasping his ears against the wall.
"Tap tap."
"Tap tap."
A small sound came into Bai Lixin's ears through the wall. The sound did not come from a single position. When Bai Lixin listened to it, it seemed to be moving within the wall.
Xia Chi: "Is there an unknown species locked in the wall? No way? Could it be trying to find an exit?"
After thinking of this, he suddenly retracted the finger that he had just pulled back, and looked at Bai Lixin with some fear, "Isn't the sound of my knocking on the wall disturbing it? The one inside...isn't a person? "
How could a person survive in such a place?
Or... the other side of the wall is an underground secret room with a door? Someone was locked in a secret room?
But when he knocked on the wall just now, he always felt that the wall was too thick. Is it hollow?
Just when Xia Chi was still guessing what was in the wall, another rustling sound suddenly sounded in the darkness.
The sound of water clattered, and then there seemed to be the rubbing of something scratching the ground.
The back of Xia Chi's neck suddenly tightened, and the flashlight immediately shone towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a layer of water stains on the dark end of the ground.
The water stains are wet, showing that they have just been left.
Just now... something suddenly moved where they couldn't see it.
The instant this thought flashed through his mind, Xia Chi immediately felt goosebumps fall off the ground.
Xia Chi took a deep breath, the light of the flashlight slid back and forth, except for a water stain on the ground, there was nothing left.
His flashlight was shaking, and when he was about to withdraw it, a person suddenly appeared in the light.
Seeing Bai Lixin walking towards the front, Xia Chi hesitated for a while, and quickly followed behind Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin walked in front of the water stain, and he looked around, not finding any creatures before refocusing on the water stain.
Near the ditch, the water stains were soaked in a large area.
But as the water stain moved away from the ditch, the water stain changed from a large area to a small spot.
The water spots are divided into left and right sides, and each side is about the same distance from the front to the rear, so it looks a bit like the footprints of terrestrial creatures.
If it is a little more detailed, it is very similar to human footprints.
Xia Chi, who followed, also quickly discovered this. He lowered his voice and whispered: "Brother, it looks like a human footprint."
He paused for a while, and then half scared half suddenly said: "Could it be that the green-skinned monsters we saw on the bottom of the sea are also here?"
Bai Lixin: "."
Is there a possibility that it's not the green monsters, but someone as good-looking as us?
Why does Xia Chi always have the talent to develop the ugliness of the unknown species?
s419 complained: [I can't blame Xia Chi, who has been in the horror dungeon for a long time, and the first reaction to seeing unknown things is a monster, right? What's more, if you stay with you, you should be more cautious. 】
Bai Lixin: [? ? ? 】
Are you polite?
what's wrong with me?
Is the low luck value on my own? I am a victim too!
