Chapter 231 The Skaven

A steam city where everything seems to be developing normally.

But there is an unknown crisis hidden.

With the application of mana, there does not appear to be any contamination on the surface.

People living in steam cities may not feel it, but as the creator's dust, they can clearly feel a kind of corrosive power that has spread throughout all cities.

Don't forget, this is the power from Cthulhu.

Use comes with a price.

Or... this is not the power that should be used at all.

Pollution, corruption, mutation... These factors have been integrated with the air, floating in every corner of the city.

Slowly integrate into all living bodies.

Like a moth-eaten apple, the exterior looks intact.

Maybe when you cut it open, there will be worms inside, and there will be more than one.

Instead, there is no pulp, and the apple skin is wrapped in a group of wriggling worms!
In the city, some people have suffered from some strange diseases due to corrosion and pollution.

But humans didn't notice any abnormality at all.

At first, no one cared about some strange diseases born...

Of course, freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

It will be a long process to have a greater impact on human beings.

As for what will happen, Shen Hui doesn't know, this is the uncertainty of independent development.

But the life that exists in the steam city is not limited to human beings.

Shen Hui has already noticed that there are already some remaining lives in these cities.

Uncertainty becomes increasingly certain as pollution causes very visible changes.

The gray consciousness gathered in the tavern in the city, and manifested as a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes and walked in.

This is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, not only the chaos of personnel, but also the hygiene.

Bottom men in battered leather jackets, throwing in coins, pouring sour beer from the pipes, talking loudly about the unpleasantness of the day's work.

Cursing at those bosses who kept squeezing them.

Some well-dressed middle-aged people who looked like elites were also sitting in the tavern, and they ordered a glass of relatively expensive wine alone.

I took it and walked to those women who were not around and started talking. Today is also the night I plan to cheat behind my wife's back.

The mercenaries with tattoos on their bodies, and some whose limbs were replaced with steam prosthetics, were talking to some forces about hiring them.

It is planned to launch a surprise attack on another organization at some point to snatch more territory.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the steam city is no exception.

Empty wine bottles were piled up on the ground, as well as trampled vomit, and some food crumbs were scattered on the ground.

The wooden boards on the ground have long been black and worn out, and there are still many holes in the corners.

The air is filled with stink, fragrance, sweat, alcohol, sour... mixed together.

There were even more noisy sounds inside, one after another, and it was very lively.

But soon there were a few high-decibel screams, which overwhelmed all the noise and caused a momentary silence.

"Ah! Mice!"

"It scared me to death. Why does that mouse look like that?"

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of those screaming women.

Several fat, shiny mice crawled out of the hole in the wooden plank in the corner.

Not afraid of the eyes of so many people, he ate the vomit and food crumbs on the ground openly.

However, compared to the fatness and fearlessness of these mice, what attracted their attention the most.

Or the bodies of these mice are very weird.

One of the mice had a pointed head that was distorted, and it looked like two heads were pinched together.

There are many round bracts growing on the other body.

……

Anyway, these mice are not normal compared to normal mice.

But these people don't care.

"It's such a chic big mouse again, Swick, you'd better clean up this tavern, don't spoil our interest."

"That's right, these mice are just like those bosses, disgusting and ugly, unlucky, Swick, you must give me a discount today!"

"Little beauty, don't be afraid, put your arms around me, and I will protect you."

"Hey, free meat, does anyone want an extra meal?"

……

In the noisy discussion of the crowd.

Then someone took out a sharp knife, stringed these mice together and killed them, and then threw them into the trash can and it was over.

The tavern once again resumed its bustle.

I just tried to take a sip of the ash from the sour beer, and spit it out together with the saliva.

Then he looked at the few mice that were killed and smiled.

Shen Ash's consciousness began to spread, following the wooden planks with holes in the corners.

Under the planks, there are large and small holes dug by mice.

These holes are connected to the sewer pipes, in this undisturbed underground world.

It is a beautiful home for mice.

Rats, big and small, gathered together in a swarm, and some left from the sewer to look for food.

There are also those who come back from outside.

Of these mice, most had become abnormal.

The body has various degrees of distortion.

This is caused by the pollution and corrosion from the mana.

These mice were the first creatures to show noticeable changes.

Although the deformity had a great effect on most rats, immobilized, unable to eat...

But there are also some distortions that don't seem to be very bad.

For example, some mice are bigger, some have longer limbs, or are thicker.

Some even grew extra limbs.

Shen Hui's eyes were on these deformed mice.

Pollution factors will always exist. From the perspective of this distortion, is it not an evolution to adapt to pollution factors?
Although under normal circumstances, this kind of bad distortion is very likely to cause the extinction of a species.

However, if there is dust, it is not a normal situation.

When thinking of the distortion and evolution of the mouse, Shen Hui already had a very good idea in his mind.

The dead world needs a huge number of races to expand.

As a mouse, it has reached the standard in terms of quantity.

Just ordinary mice are naturally not enough, but these abnormally evolved mice...

This made Shen Hui think of a race about rats, the Skaven.
