Juliana’s workshop Chapter 21: Group


  Lulunaka didn’t take too long to pick Miscanthus, but after a while, she and Marina returned to the team. When the two of them went to pick these deadly weeds, Ikoo stood beside them and waited. Hatchet and Chris walked together, not knowing what was talking.

When   Lulunaka came back, she was holding a handful of Miscanthus cristatus that was folded into a circle. Miscanthus was wrapped in cloth strips, which seemed to be no different from ordinary Miscanthus. “Thank you for waiting for me.” Lulunaka said.

   “Just keep that thing away from us.” Hatchet said.

   “It has lost its vitality.” Lulunaka said, “As long as there is no liquid in contact, they will not come back to life.”

   “Why do you want to pick this dangerous thing?” Ikeo asked.

  Lulunaka looked at Ikoo, “It can also be used to help my poor uncle…Although it is not necessary, at least it can be used, and it can save a lot of money.”

  Lulunaka, this is really the style of poor children, in order to save some money, even willing to take risks. Marina sighed slightly, but if Lulunaka hadn’t had such a personality, she probably wouldn’t go to the sewer all by herself.

   Lulunaka wrapped the Miscanthus tightly with a cloth strip, and after confirming that there was no exposed place, she put it in her arms, which made Marina a little worried whether she was too risky.

The    squad continued to move forward. The only large passage was the sound of their footsteps and the sound of water dripping on the ground. There is nothing on the ground except pebbles and weeds. In a dark and humid place, besides Miscanthus, there are some disgusting fungi. These fungi seem to have rotted away. The surface is full of cracks, and there is still an unknown liquid flowing out. The liquid has any color, depending on the color of the mushroom’s appearance. In addition to plants that don’t move, there are also small moving things moving around. Rats, snakes, insects…Although there are no overwhelming things, the movement of these little things can always be heard at everyone’s feet. If it’s a mouse, it’s okay, but there is a snake lying prone on its feet, but it won’t make people feel at ease.

   On the way, Chris trampled several nimble snakes to death, so that those who followed didn’t need to worry about whether something would bounce under his feet and bite him. But this kind of thing can’t destroy their race by stepping on it, at least Hatchet doesn’t think so. He just kicked a mouse into the air, and the mouse screamed and disappeared into the distance. “There are more and more rats and reptiles in this broken place.” Hatchet said, “the last active before the winter.”

   “Hibernation?” Marina asked.

   “If it’s a snake, it does hibernate. The mouse below will not appear because it gets cold.” Hatchet said, “And in winter, this underground is a different scene. At that time, even if you give me more money, I will not go deeper into the sewer.”

   “Why?”

   Hatchet was about to answer, but at this time there was a noisy voice in front of him. Those sounds were messy, there were iron collisions, human voices, and screaming… it sounded like a battle was taking place.

   Chris stopped in front, turned his head and shouted to the people behind him: “Stop first, I’ll see the situation.” After speaking, Chris walked forward and disappeared in front of everyone.

   “What happened before?” Marina asked.

   Hatchet touched his chin and replied: “It sounds like someone is working.”

   “work?”

   “You have to know that there are many strange things in this sewer, especially after going deep.” Hatchet said, “Although it is safe to be close to the ground, you have also seen it. After getting away from the ground, the environment It’s getting worse and more dangerous. It’s not just plants that are dangerous.”

   After a long time, Chris returned to the team and said to everyone: “You can pass, it’s over there. It’s someone who can talk to.”

   Chris’s words are still so brief, so concise that it makes people worry about whether he has missed something, or has missed a key thing. But Xiaoxu doesn’t have too much doubts about his companion. After all, he is his long-time work partner. “Then let’s go. It seems that we are lucky. At least there are fewer dangers around here.”

   Marina and others followed Chris, and walked a little further, to the place Chris called “it’s over”. There is a hole here, which is so big that even a carriage can pass through it. It is on the side of the passage, giving this straight passage without a branch road one more way to other places.

  Compared with the quiet road that they walked before, it was obviously a lot more crowded. Many people gathered together, divided into several circles and scattered everywhere. Some people were making noises, others were whispering, and others He cast his gaze at the newcomer, then looked away again, as if not interested. Everyone wrapped themselves densely, and then put on protective equipment outside. There were leather armor, iron armor, and human leather armor and iron armor mixed together, which looked very strange.

   If it’s just a group of people standing here, it’s nothing special, but if this was once a battlefield, it’s very different. Living people can still stand, but dead people or creatures can only lie on the ground.

   Not only is there noisy human voices, but also the smell of gunpowder smoke, and flames are still burning in some places. Maybe someone used bombs and Molotov cocktails filled with oil, and maybe there are traces of magic. The injured may sit squatting and deal with the wound by themselves, while the seriously injured can only wait for others to help.

   There were not many human corpses, and they were all towed away and placed in a relatively clean place. I don’t know how to deal with these poor people next. Those lying on the ground were more of small, skinny corpses. These corpses had no clothing, only ragged pieces of cloth covering their bodies, and they had blue skin.

   These are not children, and there will not be so many children appearing underground and being slaughtered in this way. When seeing the faces of these corpses, no one would treat such creatures as children. The small eyes in a line, no nostrils, a big mouth, one fangs, and two very long teeth, which stretched out of the mouth, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

   When they walked towards these people, towards the entrance of the cave, there were several bodies of these little things under their feet. Chris and Hatchet seemed to be used to it, and even if they stepped on these corpses, there was no response. Icoo and Marina carefully avoided these strange smelly corpses. This is not the smell of corpses, but the smell of these little things, like the smell of rotten milk.

   “Don’t get too close to the hole over there.” Hatchet reminded the person in front of him, “Even if it is underground, there is a chassis division.”

   When she got closer, Marina saw clearly what the hole looked like. This hole definitely didn’t exist in the first place. This is what the tunnel looks like after being cut through. If you look inside, you can see that this is a dug tunnel. There is dirt and gravel everywhere, and there is still mud falling on it.

   Their team couldn’t get closer to the hole anymore. Someone had already stepped forward and came in front of them. This is a man who also wrapped himself densely, wearing a black mask, only showing a pair of eyes.

   “Don’t go near the entrance of the cave, but you can pass the other way by yourself.” The man said, and nodded to the other end of the passage, “We don’t charge tolls~ IndoMTL.com~ Don’t worry, let’s go to Xiaoyu Shrimp is not interested, you can die wherever you are, but don’t die near us, it will let competitors slander us as robbers.”

   The man’s words sounded dismissive of people like Short Axe, but there was no malice in the words, just like business affairs, but they also contained his personal feelings. To put it simply, this man means one thing: do whatever you like, don’t get close here and disturb them.

   The man’s words made Ekoo feel some unpleasant emotions. He is not a violent person, but the man’s words do have the meaning of despising them. This tone is too obvious, so obvious that it is impossible to take it seriously.

   But when he was about to attack, Marina pressed his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Marina shook her head with a smile on her face, which made him feel a lot of anger.

   “Let’s go over at once.” Xiaoxu approached the man with a smile, and stuffed a few silver coins into the man’s hands, “Thank you for making this area safe.”

   The appearance of the hatchet surprised Marina and Ikeo. The hatchet is not a generous person, but he took out the coin and stuffed it into someone else’s hand.

   The man didn’t respond to the hatchet’s behavior, and put the coin into his arms. “Your safety is worth the money… I advise you not to go too deep, the small fangs nearby. I became active again. This hole was originally sealed, but now it has to be sealed again.” The man walked over to the hole, as if he didn’t intend to deal with people passing by like Marina anymore. But in the end he turned around and shouted to the hatchet: “Some of the little fangs ran away, I think you can handle it. If this can be killed by the little fangs, we will not drag your bodies up. Of.”
