At this moment, Shen Qiu wanted to die.
It's only been a short time! And she's almost finished
Shen Qiu couldn't help but look up and down at Yun Xiaoxi's thin body. It didn't look like she could fit so many things.
At this time, Yun Xiaoxi also looked innocent and blinked at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu was relieved after seeing the harmless expression towards this person. After all, the other party had been hungry for so long, it was not unreasonable for him to eat more.
"Hey~ It's okay, let's go."
Shen Qiu sighed helplessly and said.
"Okay!"
Yun Xiaoxi happily took the lead and walked forward.
…
Soon as time passed, the night grew darker.
The fog in the air was getting thicker.
Visibility continued to decrease.
In the central area of Wucheng, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi, one above and one below, popped up at a corner.
At first glance, the spire-like buildings here are almost all built with natural boulders, and even the windows are made of glazed glass. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it gives people a more solemn and solemn feeling.
For some reason, Shen Qiu felt that his breathing became more difficult after coming here.
Shen Qiu said to Yun Xiaoxi in a low voice.
“Do you feel that the air quality here is worse?”
"Yes, the fog is even thicker here!"
"Do you think I'll get respiratory diseases if I breathe this kind of air for a long time?"
"I think so."
Yun Xiaoxi thought for a moment and replied.
A thought suddenly popped up in Shen Qiu's mind. Could it be that the people here have become neither human nor ghost because of the air pollution and they are always sick
Then the people here tried all kinds of methods to cure their illness, and ended up in this terrible state
"Where do we go next?"
Yun Xiaoxi observed carefully, confirmed that there were no enemies, and asked Shen Qiu in a low voice.
"Let me see, huh?"
Shen Qiu couldn't help but look around, but after looking around, he couldn't tell which building was the laboratory.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"Which building is the laboratory?"
Shen Qiu was also a little confused.
“That one!”
Yun Xiaoxi then pointed to the center, a towering Gothic-style cathedral covering at least tens of thousands of square meters. Through the looming gray fog, one could see the exterior walls of the cathedral, which were carved with various reliefs and glazed windows with colorful roses.
Inside the cathedral, there stands a tall tower!
An ancient clock is embedded on the top of the tower.
“Isn’t that a church?”
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.
"The laboratory is inside the church."
Yun Xiaoxi immediately explained.
"Is there any monster guarding the church?"
Shen Qiu asked after pondering for a while.
"Yes, all the entrances to the church are sealed, and there are many believers guarding inside. Many of those believers have supernatural powers and are very dangerous. If you want to force your way in, it is almost impossible."
Yun Xiaoxi explained to Shen Qiu.
"I know, follow me! I know where Gray Scorpion and the others entered from."
Shen Qiu circled around to the west side of the cathedral.
Yun Xiaoxi did not ask Shen Qiu why he knew the entrance, but followed silently.
…
On the west side of the cathedral, there is a retro street.
In a residential building on the left, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi leaned against the edge of the window, observing the front.
In the middle of the wide street ahead, a stone statue of a kind mother holding her child collapsed, with broken stones scattered all over the ground.
This stone statue is the symbol that Caen mentioned.
In the area to the right of the collapsed statue, there is a dried-up sewage channel, the source of which is an underground sewage outlet.
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi kept observing the surroundings. This was already the third observation point they had changed.
"Are you sure that underground sewage outlet is the entrance?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked Shen Qiu again.
“That should be right.”
Shen Qiu looked at it carefully and thought it should be what Caen said.
"It's strange. I didn't see any people from Gray Scorpion? Didn't they send anyone to guard it?"
Yun Xiaoxi looked left and right, but couldn't find the hiding people anywhere.
"Maybe it's too dangerous outside, so there are no sentries. Let's go in."
"All right!"
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu was not the type to be fussy, so the two of them left the room immediately.
Soon the two men found the sewage outlet and looked inside. It was quite dark and there was no end in sight.
As he walked into the sewage hole, he was hit by a foul odor. Shen Qiu felt a little nauseous when he smelled it.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Yun Xiaoxi, but Yun Xiaoxi did not react at all and did not make any complaints.
"Shen Qiu, let me go ahead."
Yun Xiaoxi suddenly spoke at this time.
"OK."
Shen Qiu didn't say much. Although his reaction was good in all aspects, Yun Xiaoxi was a professional fighter after all.
The further they walked in, the lower the visibility became, and they were almost walking by feeling the sticky stone walls.
Just as they reached the turning, Shen Qiu suddenly noticed a faint yellow light.
He grabbed Yun Xiaoxi's arm, pulled her back, and made a gesture to silence her.
Yun Xiaoxi immediately understood and nodded slightly.
Then Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi secretly poked their heads out of the corner and looked forward.
After turning the corner, there was a straight sewage passage more than 30 meters long in front of us. At the end of the passage, there were several kerosene lamps hanging on the wall.
Through the kerosene lamp, five Gray Scorpion members in combat uniforms can be seen, and behind them there is a retractable iron bar door.
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi looked at each other and stepped back tacitly.
After retreating to a certain distance, Shen Qiu also said in a low voice with a frown.
"This is a big problem. They are from the Gray Scorpion. I didn't expect them to be guarding here. The passage behind the corner is straight, without any cover in the middle."
"Then can we rush over when they are least prepared?"
Yun Xiaoxi thought for a moment and replied.
"What a joke! I estimated that it's about 30 meters from the corner to the front of the group. They have two submachine guns, and I'm not sure how many pistols they have. 30 meters is not a long distance, but it's not a short distance either. It's enough for them to react and fire at us, unless you can cut bullets with a knife?"
"It's barely possible to block one or two, but that's a submachine gun, it's a volley of bullets coming at you, there's no way I can stop it."
"So a strong attack will definitely not work."
Shen Qiu said with a headache.
At this moment, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly used her thumb to eject a sharp blade.
"Wait, wait, what are you doing?"
Shen Qiu looked at Yun Xiaoxi with a confused look on his face and asked.
"Nothing. Since a strong attack doesn't work, let's make some noise to attract them and kill them."
Yun Xiaoxi explained to Shen Qiu seriously.
"Didn't you see the iron sliding door behind them? If there's any unusual movement, their first reaction would probably not be to come up and investigate, but to retreat behind the iron sliding door and close it. After all, this city is full of monsters, and their priority is their own safety."
Shen Qiu replied, touching his forehead.
