My savvy is number one in the world

Chapter 90 Ambush
Tick, tick.

The sound of water droplets echoed in the silent inspection passage, clearly visible.

Xu Yang, Zhao Lei and others are all professional warriors, and each has their own body skills. Even if they walk in some dirty and muddy places, there is almost no sound. No one chats during patrols, and it is basically quiet.

This patrol was a round-trip, first arriving at the easternmost sunken sewage channel, then going straight back to the western sunken channel, and finally arriving at the south, forming a cycle. During this period, the intricate internal pipeline access and maintenance were also carried out. Walk through all the passages, except for those narrow sewage pipes that can only accommodate sewage discharge.

of course.

This kind of sewage pipe will actually be inspected, and one end of the sewage pipe will be tapped to make a sound. If there are mutant creatures that happen to get in, they will basically be attracted by the sound. After all, they have no intelligence.

And this six-hour patrol was surprisingly quiet. During the whole process, they didn't even meet a single low-level mutant creature. The whole process was safe and sound. In the end, they just happened to meet another team in the sewage channel.

The opponent is the D412 team, which is in charge of the area on the other side, adjacent to D411, and the only bordering area is the sewage sinking tank. The captain of the D412 team also knows Hou Lin.

"Hou Lin, it seems that you are quite relaxed."

The captain of the D412 team chatted and laughed with Hou Lin.

Hou Lin responded unsmilingly: "I haven't encountered mutant creatures much, how about you?"

The leader of the D412 team smiled and said: "The patrol in the morning cleaned up some, and it became a lot cleaner in the afternoon. I guess there are no more ones popping up for the time being. We will go up to eat later. Do you want to join us?"

"No, let's be more vigilant."

Hou Lin shook his head.

The captain of the D412 team said: "You are too vigilant, the danger level in this area is relatively low, and there is almost no abyssal breath coming from the upper sewer."

Indeed, as the leader of the D412 team said, Xu Yang basically did not encounter the abyssal aura floating up from below while patrolling with Hou Lin and others. Relatively speaking, the entire area was relatively 'clean'.

"really."

Hu Rui also nodded and said: "I remember that area 404 is the hardest hit area. A large part of the entire area is often penetrated by the abyss. The patrols there are also top professional mid-level people."

"So, just patrol normally. Okay, let's take a step first." The leader of the D412 team smiled, and then disappeared deep into the opposite passage with the team members behind him.

Hou Lin also turned around with Zhao Lei, Hu Rui and others.

Only Xu Yang stared briefly into the sinking channel of bubbling sewage, frowning slightly, but in the end he shook his head and followed Hou Lin and others.

These sewage sinking passages gave him a very similar feeling, and there was a strong abyssal atmosphere underneath, but also because of the interference of the abyssal atmosphere, he could not specifically perceive the situation inside.

"Captain, I have a bad feeling under the sewer channel."

After Xu Yang followed Hou Lin, he thought about it and said something.

Hou Lin turned his head and glanced at Xu Yang, but didn't pay much attention to it and said, "There is an abyssal aura entrenched below. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable. Just don't get too close."

Hu Rui also looked at Xu Yang and said: "Well, you may not have been exposed to the strong abyss breath before, and the impact is a bit big. Next time, follow at the back and don't get too close."

Is this normal?

Xu Yang shook his head, maybe he was too sensitive.

Although his mental power is strong, he is not able to release any 'spiritual thoughts' to perceive something like the so-called sixth consciousness like in some mythical stories, which is another completely different realm.

After patrolling around.

Everyone returned to the ground to replenish food and water. After a short repair, they started a new round of patrol.

This patrol mission lasted for three days. Apart from eating and drinking, there was no rest time for sleep during the entire process. It was basically a 24-hour patrol. Because everyone was a professional warrior, not sleeping for three days would not have much impact.

The patrol at night was quieter, almost quieter than in the afternoon. The entire patrol was still only filled with the sound of water dripping from time to time. Other than that, it was silent, and not a single mutant creature appeared.

but.

After this round, it finally aroused some vigilance in the squad leader Hou Lin.

"It didn't feel right, it was a little too quiet."

Hou Lin walked in the maintenance passageway, frowned for a while, and suddenly spoke.

If it was only half of the patrol in the afternoon and nothing was encountered, then during the five or six hours at night, the whole process was met with nothing, not even the lowest mutant creatures. This absolute silence was a bit abnormal. .

"really."

Hu Rui also showed a hint of vigilance.

Hou Lin snorted and said, "Everyone cheer up and stay vigilant."

Although it's too quiet to give people a bad feeling, but it's impossible to report to someone based on this feeling. No one knows if it's a coincidence of a false alarm. After all, this place is only a low-risk area.

If in a severely affected area like Area 404, mutated creatures do not appear for a long time, there is a high probability that something will go wrong.

"Patrol for the last time, and then I'll notify the D412 team and ask them to be more vigilant."

Hou Lin led the crowd to move forward.

soon.

Arriving at the sewage sinking channel again, the huge sewage pool with a diameter of ten meters is still muddy and nothing can be seen clearly. Except for the bubbling and bubbling, there is no living thing emerging.

Even though Hou Lin got closer, stood on the edge, and looked down carefully, he found nothing.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Zhao Lei also came closer and took a look, then shook his head and spoke.

"Ah."

Hou Lin nodded, of course it would be best if nothing happened.

Everyone returned the same way, returned to the ground, replenished food and water for the third time, and informed the D412 team at the same time, but all they got was a chuckle from the leader of the D412 team, saying that Hou Lin was a bit of a ghost.

Next.

Fourth patrol of the night!
As night fell, the entire sewer still looked the same as it did during the day. All the inspection lights were on, and some lights flickered, giving people a dull and depressing feeling.

The deeper you go, the more you feel the aura is dark and dreary, but there is no obvious abyssal aura, as if everything is just an illusion, and the judgment is abnormal due to the middle of the night.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

The sound of water drops surrounds the ears, as if it can torture people to madness.

If ordinary people were here, even if they didn't encounter any mutant creatures or abyssal atmosphere, just this 24-hour environment would be enough to make people psychologically depressed and cause some psychological problems.

at last.

Arrive at the sewage sinking channel again.

"Not right!"

When Hou Lin approached the sewage sinking tank, his expression changed.

I saw the originally turbid sewage sinking channel. At some point, the entire sewage changed from turbid brown-gray to a strange color as dark as ink. There was even some scarlet blood faintly emerging in the darkness!
boom! ! !
Accompanied by a roar, the entire sewage pool exploded, splashing countless black liquids, and accompanied by patches of strange aura like black mist, it covered the entire passage in an instant.

"Everyone."

"How is the moonlight above tonight?"

In the exploding reservoir, a figure rose up through the water. His skin was as white as a dead person, with no trace of blood at all. He was not a skeleton, but he was covered in a bright bloody clothes.

Priest of the Abyss!

The moment he appeared, Hou Lin's expression became very solemn.

If it is an environment on the ground, as a fourth-level professional existence, he is not afraid of an abyss bishop at all, and he is even sure to defeat him one-on-one in a very short time.

But in this underground, a large amount of abyssal aura spread just now, and the opponent was blessed by the abyssal aura, and even though he was wearing a sewer suit, he was slightly affected. With the change of one strong and one weak, he no longer had the ability to fight one-on-one. Be sure to win.

however.

Before the battle plan in Hou Lin's mind was formed, his expression changed completely.

Because just below the abyss priest, in the bubbling reservoir, another blood-clothed figure floated up, followed by a second, third... and there were seven or eight blood-clothed figures in an instant. The bishop leaned out from below.

At this time, I looked at the pitch-black sewage pool, and saw that it was completely dark inside, with countless twisted and rotten limbs intertwined together, greasy tentacles, tongues full of fangs, and monstrous eyeballs...

I don't know how many mutated creatures there are, and it seems that they are already crowded enough to explode the entire sewage pool.

"run!!"

Hou Lin yelled almost at the moment when the second blood-clothed bishop appeared, leading the team and trying to retreat, but one of the blood-clothed bishops just smiled lightly, and one arm turned into a tentacle and slapped side of the channel.

The entire passage shook violently, and countless dense bone spurs spread out from the wall, piercing towards Hou Lin and the others, and even blocked the escape route of several people, as if they had penetrated into the thorn bushes!
"The offerings don't seem to be enough."

The blood-clothed priest stepped into the passage from the sewage pool. Looking at Hou Lin and others who were blocked by thorns and bone spurs, he spoke in a calm tone, and the aura of the abyss nearby shook.

boom! !

Hou Lin swung out a punch suddenly, and bombarded the spur-like thorn bush in front of him, but this punch only broke two or three of them, and there was still a dense array in front, covering at least five meters.

Obviously this is not a sudden move, but a trap that has been laid by the opponent!

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the Abyss Priests behind them, each of them walking ashore leisurely and without any urgency. Hou Lin's heart was already half cold.

"Team D411 calls for support..."

He called the master control for backup on the headset, but the only sound in the headset was the rustle of a broken signal.

The strong abyssal breath has cut off the photoelectric signal.

here……

It's like death!

Several Abyss Archbishops looked at Xu Yang and his group of six people with sarcasm on their faces. No one was even in a hurry to take action. It wasn't until Hou Lin turned around that one of the Abyss Priests said calmly: "Okay, hurry up." Finish."

With the voice falling.

Swish.

The bloody clothes on his body swayed, and his whole body burst into flames. He burst out with astonishing speed. He was close to Zhao Lei and others in an instant. He held a bone knife in his right hand and drew a ray of light like a silver moon in the rich abyss aura. .

Just the sharp sound of breaking through the air and the almost suffocating sense of oppression made Zhao Lei's face turn pale. He was only a second-level professional warrior. Even in the ground environment, he was far from an opponent of the Abyss Archbishop, let alone in the ground. here?

boom! ! !
A roar sounded.

Accompanied by the explosion of silver light.

Seeing Hou Lin appearing in front of Zhao Lei, his silver-gloved fist collided with the bone knife of the abyss bishop, causing the nearby abyss aura to form ripples visible to the naked eye. The collision of forces made everyone's scalp numb.

Although Hou Lin blocked the blow of the Abyss Archbishop and did not seem to be at a big disadvantage, Hu Rui, who was not far away, still looked pale and a little desperate.

The escape route behind was blocked by thorns and bone spurs, and there were eight Abyss Priests in front of them. They had no chance to escape by crossing the sewage pool and jumping to the opposite passage. They seemed to be left as sacrifices.

however.

Just when everyone's thoughts sank to the bottom.

A ray of light like a star pierced through the pitch-black passage, and suddenly hit the bone spurs and thorns.

boom! ! !
Accompanied by an eardrum-sounding pop.

I saw that at the place where several roots had been broken by Hou Lin, the dense thorns and bone spurs were suddenly blown into pieces, and a passage several meters inward was abruptly shattered, almost hitting the thorns and bone spurs back and forth. Broken through!

Everyone looked in shock and saw Xu Yang standing on the edge with a Tang sword in his hand, his eyes calm, and he calmly uttered six words.

"Everyone go in, I'll take the lead."

　There is one more update still being written.
