Chapter 174: In the Sewer

There is an open manhole in the corner of the suit shop warehouse. After seeing the layout here, Mofang thought that it must have been a food store before, and later it was changed into a clothing store.

Gao Xuemei was the first to jump into the manhole. She checked with a small flashlight, said hello to the upper part and made way. Mofang supported himself on the ground with his hands and went down first, stepping on the footholds on both sides of the manhole and getting into the manhole little by little. After entering the manhole, the sewer system here is well built. Mofang, who is 1.8 meters tall, only needs to bend down slightly to avoid hitting his head. The temperature is relatively warm compared to the howling north wind outside. The only bad smell is not a problem for Mofang, who does not need to breathe, but some puddles are not good.

Gao Xuelong followed Mofang down, and the quiet Liu Yan was the last one. Before going down the well, Liu Yan frowned. Maybe it was the sixth sense of women, she always felt that there was something wrong with this new man...

In the sewer, Gao Xuemei walked in front with a small flashlight, and her feet stepped on the puddle of water from time to time, and water occasionally dripped on her head. There were two small flashlights for four people in total. Mofang, who had a strong observation ability, found that the three people had different degrees of accelerated heartbeats and tense muscles. This depressing dark environment can still bring a great sense of oppression to humans.

"Let's go to the pharmacy to get some medicine for treating influenza and high fever. Mofang, you must listen to my command later. The outer pharmacies have been moved away. Only these pharmacies surrounded by zombies have stocks. We slowly move to the vicinity of the pharmacy. The smell of the sewer will cover our whereabouts. Don't make any noise." Gao Xuemei said as she walked.

"Okay."

In the dim light of the flashlight, the Rubik's Cube's eyes emitted a slight red flash, and it quickly scanned the surroundings in a very short time.

"Hmm?" Liu Yan, who was walking behind the Rubik's Cube, suddenly raised her head and looked at the Rubik's Cube. Just now, it seemed that some inexplicable energy passed through her body. What kind of energy was this? Who is this Rubik's Cube?

The Rubik's Cube noticed Liu Yan's abnormality. I didn't expect to meet a mutant here. However, the superpowers seemed so weak. It would be better not to detect people with sensitive mental power in the future.

As they walked, suddenly, the Rubik's Cube's mechanical eyes that could see at night found a few more red dots in front...

"Be careful! There are three big rats ahead!"

Hearing the warning from the Rubik's Cube, Gao Xuemei quickly stopped and looked forward carefully. Sure enough, with the weak light of the small flashlight, six reflective red dots approached quickly in the dark. There were three mutant giant rats in total, almost as big as dogs! Although walking in the sewers can avoid zombies, the most frightening thing is indeed these fearless giant rats. Two teams of people in the camp were bitten to death by these things and only a pile of rags were left. I didn't expect that I would be unlucky enough to encounter these devils today...

"Prepare for battle! Kill them if you want to live!" Throwing away the backpack, Gao Xuemei and the other two drew their knives and pointed them at the three rats.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~!"

The rats were getting closer and closer. The weak light could already see the appearance of the three rats. Their long beards and big teeth were very obvious. Their eyes were glowing red and their muscles were bulging. They looked like a group of predatory beasts.

Wow~! The Rubik's Cube stepped forward and stepped into the accumulated water. His right hand grasped the steel bar. His mechanical eyes stared at the three giant rats. He couldn't use electric shock now, otherwise the three guides would be shocked and twitched together. God knows whether the high voltage electricity would damage their brain cells and lose their thinking ability.

"Squeak...!"

The rat running in the front suddenly stopped with its front paws leaving a trail in the water. The sound it made was as miserable as being caught by a cat. The two rats behind him also stopped after hearing the sound. Not only that, they also retreated slowly and carefully step by step. Three pairs of small red eyes stared at the Rubik's Cube standing in the front. The three rats instinctively felt a huge threat from the Rubik's Cube, and that threat was like facing a super beast.

"This..."

The three people who were originally planning to fight desperately suddenly found that the three rats were actually retreating. What was going on? Could it be... that they were afraid of this Rubik's Cube? Thinking of this, the three turned their heads and looked at the back of the Rubik's Cube.

The Rubik's Cube had to sigh that the already extremely strong ability to perceive danger of these animals after mutation was further improved. Humans could not tell whether they were real or fake. These rats must know that they were not human. This ability was very useful, at least it could keep the three rats alive.

Wow~Wow~

The Cube walked towards the three giant rats that were retreating step by step. With every step, the giant rats retreated several steps. Only the three giant rats knew that they had been firmly locked by some unknown energy. It felt as if they would be attacked violently at any time...

"Squeak..." The three giant rats screamed and turned around and ran away, wading through the accumulated water and disappearing quickly at the end of the dark sewer.

"Huh..."

Watching the three giant rats retreat, Gao Xuemei and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that their hands holding the knife handles were soaked. They looked at the Cube in relief. In this dim environment, they suddenly realized that this Cube of unknown origin was very unusual. At least no one in the camp could scare away the giant rats without taking action, even those very strong mutants.

"Cube, are you a mutant?"

"Well... I think so. I have a stronger sense and my strength is also OK." The Cube said modestly.

"Great, when we get to the camp, I wonder if I can join our Hope Community. Hope Community has people of all ages living together. Although we don't live as well as those mutant groups, we are very united and value affection." Gao Xuemei planned to take the opportunity to win over Mofang.

"Hope Community? Mutant Team?"

"Yes, our Shancheng County camp is mainly divided into two parts. One part is a team organized by mutants with superpowers, but they don't care about the lives of the elderly, the weak, women and children. They only care about beautiful women and their own enjoyment. They are divided into many teams. The other part is our Hope Community. Living together, everyone is very poor, but we try to keep everyone alive and try to preserve the kind nature of human beings. Which one do you think is better?"

Gao Xuemei stared at Mofang's eyes, trying to see Mofang's answer clearly.

"Hope Community is good. At least it will remind you that you are still human beings."

The three smiled when they heard it, and did not notice the problem in Mofang's sentence.

"Let's go. We still need to collect medicine. The smell in the sewer is really bad." Mofang frowned as if the smell was bad, reminding the three people to act quickly. If they waited here, who knew if they would encounter giant rats again.

"Yes, we have to go get medicine quickly." Gao Xuemei took out a simple blueprint, looked at it, and continued to move forward.
