Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 35·The truth about Irezia

The bright red blood has already dyed the soil reddish brown, and the sky is filled with a faint blood mist. Countless dark red tentacles around the entire edge twist the body crazily, and the flesh and blood that occasionally falls from above can no longer be distinguished from which body part it belongs to.

"It's an extremely beautiful scenery, what do you think, Master Ai Rui?"

On the top of a mountain not far away from Irezia, a man in military uniform looked intoxicated at the city that had turned into a hellish place not far away. Every time the mountain wind blew, there was a distant howl. At this time, his sick smile will become more and more distorted.

"Theros, are the soldiers ready? No one is allowed to escape."

The man named Erizia did not respond to the previous question, but looked at the city below indifferently and asked. He is the ruler of the city below, and he once built this famous city under his leadership. As the city of Erezia, it was under his leadership that the city gradually became prosperous.

Likewise, it was under his leadership that the city called Erezia turned into hell.

"Of course, Lord Ari, I promise that I will never let a pariah escape from the testing site."

Theros turned around and saluted Ari, a sickly flush appeared on his face, and his bloodshot eyes made him look so terrifying at this time. At this time, he no longer looked like the person he once was. The captain of the city guard is gentle and kind, even when he treats civilians, he always has a smile on his face.

"Well! Everything is for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Irezia nodded indifferently, but there was fanatical belief in her eyes when she said His Majesty the Emperor. Decades ago, he received an order from the empire to go to the border areas of the empire and transfer what from other kingdoms. The fleeing residents were gathered and the city was built.

On that day, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers received the same orders as Irezia, and towns began to be erected on the border of the Eastern Empire. During this period, a large number of other palace residents fled to the Eastern Empire. Live in one of these towns.

This city is the second city built under the leadership of Erzia. It is built on the ruins of the previous city named Erzia. The deepest part of the sewers is where the giant rat clan’s underground kingdom once was. The only evidence left after the destruction of the city.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

Theros clenched his fist and smashed it hard on his heart. He responded with a sick and fanatical expression on his face, then turned and walked towards Irezia below. As for the soldiers under his command, they had already been guarding outside the city. of various exits.

Once someone escapes, they will be arrested directly by the soldiers guarding the exit. Everyone will be inspected by the soldiers with special instruments. Some of them with special abilities will become experimental subjects of the empire, and the rest will be killed. Throw him back into the city.

"Sir, no one has escaped yet."

Outside the city gate, a soldier wearing black armor saw Theros approaching and quickly stepped forward, saluted, and reported loudly.

"Hey! What a bunch of rubbish."

After hearing the soldier's report, Theros looked at the writhing tentacles at the city gate with disdain. You must know that they have done similar things many times, but more or less some residents were able to escape before.

Some of the blood test subjects of ancient human heroes in the Imperial Laboratory were caught at this time. After all, under the threat of death and killing, those untouchables may activate the blood power in their bodies in order to survive.

"Forget it. Anyway, a lot of experimental subjects have been caught recently. Also, guard the exit and don't allow anyone to escape alone."

The next second, Theros waved his hand to signal the soldiers in front of him to leave. As for the fact that he hadn't caught a new test product, he was a little upset, but that was it. Anyway, the next batch of refugees from other kingdoms was already coming. Down the road, the city will soon be rebuilt again.

As for why no one has discovered what they have done, of course, every survivor will become a test subject, and those who can participate in this plan are all the most loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and have been given the " strength'.

"Yes!"

After the soldier saluted, he turned and returned to his post, staring at every exit of the city.On the other side, in the dark sewer, Team Tuca was moving in a certain direction with great difficulty. The original smelly water and sludge under their feet had now turned bright red, and the pungent smell of blood was mixed with the stench of the sewer. .

"stop!"

Suddenly, Gordon's voice came from the front of the team. In an instant, everyone in the team subconsciously held their breath. Even Tuka's 11-year-old son covered his mouth with his hands, not daring to make even a sound. , brown-black eyes staring forward with fear.

And in a sewer at the corner a few hundred meters away from them, three shadow guards were observing the surroundings with scarlet eyes. The bodies made of shadows allowed them to almost completely blend into the dim environment of the sewer. There was only a slight movement as they moved forward. The sound came out like a ghost wandering in the darkness.

After a few minutes, several shadow guards finally left here and went to other places.

Seeing this, Gordon, who was hiding in the dark, did not appear immediately. Instead, he waited for a few minutes, and after confirming which monsters had really left, he gestured to the people behind him. Seeing this Only then did everyone feel relieved.

"Thanks to you Gordon, otherwise we really wouldn't have the possibility of escaping."

Tuka stepped forward and patted Gordon's shoulder gently. After their previous round with Keith and Nina, they secretly planned to enter the sewer, heading towards a certain mission when they were chasing a monster. Found the sewer leading outside the city and walked towards it.

Along the way, relying on the familiarity of the sewers and Gordon's keen sense, plus everyone's body was covered with sewer sludge. The black sludge made them difficult to be detected by monsters, and the stench covered their own smell. , they were able to discover the monsters in the sewers in advance every time, and continued to move forward without any danger.

"What are you talking about? Don't forget that we are teammates who share life and death."

Gordon raised his head and looked at Tuka and smiled softly, but it looked a little funny because his face was covered with black sludge.

"Well! Cheer up, we can successfully enter the sewer in a short distance, and then we will have a chance to escape."

As he spoke, Tuka raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment. Relying on his familiarity with the sewers, he could easily identify their location and roughly estimate how long it would take to escape.

Behind Tuka, his wife was holding on to their child's arm, with unconcealed fear in her eyes. Even now, she still doesn't understand what happened and why monsters suddenly appeared in the city. .

If Tuka and Gordon hadn't appeared in time before, she and her son would have died at the claws of monsters just like her neighbor's family. Moreover, the scenes she saw along the way made her know that this city they called home was now It's likely that only a few of them are still alive.

"Nina, how is Case?"

At this time, Tuka turned around and looked at Nina at the back and asked. Since Keith had bandaged the wound and paid for the medicine, he had been in a coma and was being carried by Nina.

"My breathing has calmed down, I should be fine."

After saying that, Nina turned her head slightly and glanced at Keith behind her, her eyes full of worry. She knew that Keith's condition was only current. Even if he successfully escaped later, Keith would be almost disabled and had lost all his arms. He could no longer be an adventurer, and the wounds now coated with sewer sludge would later become infected.

Whether it will survive is the question.

　I saw some readers saying that the protagonist has not appeared for a long time. In fact, the world in the book has not passed a day. In addition, this paragraph is a very important foreshadowing, with the birth of a heavyweight supporting character.

　　I want to write about the character's experience and personality sufficiently to make them flesh and blood. In other words, I want to write the whole book like this, no longer just a series of anecdotes.

　　In addition, regarding the protagonist, the story will be released soon after this episode!
