IJWTRQ Chapter 056

“Where is the sewer?” Liang Xian looked at Ah San.

Ah San identified the direction and pointed to the bar, said: “There’s one on the side of the road ahead, but I don’t think you’d want to go there, there’s another one behind the bar. It should be… easier than going to the front…”

Yan Yongfeng wanted to cry, they had just escaped from the bar, and they were about to go back.

“Don’t worry.” Tan Yan took out a grenade from his backpack, “Just use this.”

“One wasn’t enough, right?” Tu Zishi asked, “And can your protective cover withstand the impact of explosives?”

In fact, what he said was reasonable, but after he finished speaking, the veteran team member looked at him like idiots.

Don’t blame Tu Zishi, after all, he didn’t see Tan Yan blow up the Mosasaurus with a single shot, the protective cover can withstand the wind speed of 1670km/h comparable to the wind pressure of a nuclear explosion, a small grenade, a small bar, hehe.

It’s not good for those insiders to crowd out the newcomers. Hai Liren three people also worked hard. As the squad leader, Qiu Qizheng said: “Tan Yan is very powerful.”

This point is also experienced b Tu Zishi three people, but they haven’t yet profoundly realized how terrifying this power really is.

There are tentacles on the front and back, which have blocked the light. Liang Xian took out the flashlight, and Tan Yan pressed his hand: “No need.”

Even in the dark, he can still see clearly.

Tan Yan took out a pistol and opened the protective cover to allow one person to enter and exit. Just as the crack appeared, several tentacles drilled in. Tan Yan calmly raised the pistol at the tentacles and pulled the trigger.

There was a loud ‘boom’, as if a bomb had exploded in the tentacles, several tentacles broke on the ground, and moved twice with difficulty.

Tu Zishi Feng Wu Hai Liren: “…”

The three of them rubbed their eyes in unison, what they saw seemed to be a pistol, but this power, is almost as powerful as a mortar!

Qiu Qizheng patted the shoulders of the Hai Liren beside him comfortingly, understanding their feelings very well.

When Tan Yan turned into a whale, he also had this expression.

The smell of gunpowder makes the smell-sensitive monsters temporarily dare not enter, Tan Yan steadily walks out. As soon as he stepped out of the shield, the exit was closed.

Then there were ‘boom, boom, boom’ several loud sounds, the protective cover shook a few times, and even the tentacles outside fell a lot.

Then half of the protective cover was opened, and Tan Yan’s voice came: “Come out.”

Several people walked out of the protective cover, only to see that the walls of the bar were scorched black, and don’t know where the tables and chairs have gone. The windows were all broken, the floor was full of dried corpses, and occasionally a few tentacles bounced pathetically on the floor a few times, but apparently, they couldn’t move either.

According to Liang Xian’s analysis, the monsters have a very sensitive sense of smell, so even though the glass is broken, no tentacles dare to probe in, after all, the bar is full of gunpowder smell.

Ah San and Qin Li walked side by side in front, Liang Xian was in the middle, Tan Yan was in the back, and the little deer accompanied Tan Yan. Tu Zishi couldn’t help but look back, and saw a person and a deer with their backs to the tentacles waving outside the window, but they looked indifferent and didn’t even turn their heads.

“Here!” Ah San opened the sewer in the back alley of the bar, there were no monsters nearby, they seemed to have all run to the front. Probably thought that the supernatural team could not break through the bar, so they set up an ambush outside.

Tan Yan listened carefully first, and after confirming that there were no abnormal creatures, everyone climbed in one by one.

“It stinks.” Yan Yongfeng walked into the sewer holding his nose.

The sewers in B City are not small. There were news reports in the past that there were some homeless people living in the sewers in B City all year round. B City is located in the north, and there is little rain. As long as it is not the rainy season, the sewers are always dry, and the environment is not bad.

Unfortunately, they used the sewer in the back alley of the bar, and people often dumped their leftovers into it, so over the years, the place stank to high heaven.

“This stench is not right…” Tan Yan shook his head and said, “The smell of food waste isn’t like this, this smell is a bit like…”

Everyone felt very uncomfortable, and the little deer kept shaking his fur, obviously very disgusted.

“Get over it,” Tan Yan said, “It’s good to smell bad, it masks our own smell. These monsters have a good sense of smell, there is a heavy smell to cover up so we can hide.”

“But the smell is…” Yan Yongfeng opened his mouth but didn’t continue.

Ah San asked: “What is the smell? What did you see?”

“You better stop asking.” Tan Yan persuaded, he seemed to know the source of the smell.

“Yes, don’t ask.” Yan Yongfeng did not look away, concentrating on the front, fearing that he would see something in the nooks and crannies.

“Blargh…” Tu Zishi suddenly retched twice.

Tan Yan glanced at him, did not speak, but continued to lead everyone forward.

“You guessed it.” Liang Xian said.

Being smart is sometimes inconvenient. When Tan Yan said that the smell was wrong, he guessed the source of the smell based on the situation in this world, but he never pointed it out. But now that Yan Yongfeng has seen it, and the newcomer has guessed it, there is no need to hide it.

“It was the leftovers of the monsters, washed by the rain, stirred together, and turned into pâté, sticking to the wall of the sewer. All around us and under our feet, everyone walks steadily and try not to touch the pipe wall.” Tu Zishi said.

“Stop talking!” From the moment he entered and saw the tentacles, Ah San’s mood became a little irritable.

Ah San was trained in actual combat, and he is the most stable in the team besides Tan Yan. Although the veteran’s aura is suppressed by Tan Yan, but no matter what the situation, he can always remain calm.

But this world seems to be Ah San’s weakness, he has swearing several times, it seems really unbearable.

Fortunately, Cui Heyu is not here, otherwise, this kid who is afraid the world won’t be chaotic¹ may say to Ah San, well, let’s treat it as meat sauce and jam, isn’t it very common in horror movies.

Fortunately, fortunately. Qiu Qizheng secretly thought in his heart.

Cui Heyu, horror movie lovers, might be very excited to encounter this world.

Tu Zishi retched a few times, but didn’t spit out anything. His face was a little pale, but gradually recovered.

The first time such world is indeed too scary for newcomers, but for others, the world is very simple for the first time. Choosing this path and possessing supernatural powers means that everyone has to constantly experience this kind of world.

“You’re amazing,” Tu Zishi looked at Tan Yan and said, “If it wasn’t for protecting us, even if there are so many tentacles outside, you can break out by yourself, right?”

“Not bad.” Tan Yan replied in the old generation’s way of responding.

It’s not overly modest, nor is it perfunctory, Tan Yan’s answer has always been like this.

Always feel that he is mediocre, which is probably Tan Yan’s biggest shortcoming. He has no self-knowledge, but no self-knowledge of others means that they cannot recognize their own shortcomings, Tan Yan cannot see his own advantages.

Tan Yan is definitely a character who can kill chatting. Tu Zishi really wanted to talk to him and ask him how he became so strong, but his answer made people unable to continue asking.

“Tan Yan’s ability is enhancement,” Qiu Qizheng explained to the newcomers, after all, they will all be companions in the future, and he can’t bear the disunity of the team, “Not only is the power enhanced, but everything, he used the power of consciousness to enhance the power of bullets and grenades. You should also learn the theoretical basis of supernatural powers. As long as the consciousness is strong enough and the spirit is tempered, we will gradually become stronger.”

Finally, someone answered, Tu Zishi also found a platform and asked: “Tan Yan is only a first-year student, and he is still very young. Even if he exercises, he should not have practiced for a few years. Can we also become like him?”

Envy is the thought of all those who have just come into contact with the supernatural being Tan Yan. Liang Xian, Ah San, Qin Li, and others were also like this at first. They were attracted by Tan Yan who lifted the meteorite, and obtained the supernatural power by dying. At that time, they also thought that one day they would become like Tan Yan.

But now, everyone’s goal has become, to be able to become Tan Yan’s strength, to become someone who can inherit his will.

Seeing that everyone was silent again, Feng Wu hurriedly changed the subject to relieve the awkward atmosphere: “How old is Tan Yan this year? Also nineteen years old? How many years has entered the void?”

Before Tan Yan could speak, Liang Xian spoke first: “Heh, very young.”

In a word, communication can no longer continue.

In fact, everyone understands that in such a dark place full of corpse smell, and doesn’t know how far to go, everyone is panicked. The newcomers also want to ease their emotions. After all, Tan Yan didn’t stop them from talking, which means that the sewer is still very safe, and the team’s understanding can be properly cultivated. They are all on the same team, and the environment they are in is also quite harsh. No one wants to ruin a big event because of estrangement.

However, the starting point for newcomers is taboo topics. Ah San, who likes to complain and is good at enlivening the atmosphere, is made nervous by the tentacles. He is about to explode as soon as he speaks, which makes the relationship between the newcomers and the old ones even more rigid.

This is not good.

Tan Yan is also aware of this, as the team leader, he can’t let the atmosphere become like this.

But what to say? Tan Yan thought about it hard, looked down, and saw the little deer very close to him, and suddenly thought that when his colleagues chatted, they seemed to be talking about their children, what my son was admitted to a key university, and my granddaughter’s grades were double hundred, and other such topics.

So Tan Yan boasted: “The little deer is also very powerful, everyone has traveled to many worlds with me, and the only one who doesn’t need my protection is him.”

Everyone: “…”

Well, one sentence shut everyone up.

Liang Xian and other people facing newcomers still have a sense of superiority, in the face of monsters they can respond in a timely manner, while the newcomers will only shrink to be protected, Hai Liren is so scared that he can’t even fire the gun, the veteran team members feel that they are great.

But, in front of the little deer, everyone here is all rubbish!

The veteran team members bowed their heads in shame, but it was just fifty steps laughing at one hundred steps, what can we be proud of? Proud that we know Tan Yan’s real age?

“I’m sorry,” After introspection, Liang Xian was the first to apologize, “I’m too arrogant, always think that I have traveled through three different worlds, and I am the first batch of people who awakened their abilities, and feel that I’m superior to others. In fact, I am nothing, not even as good as a deer.”

Liang Xian has many shortcomings, but his biggest advantage is that he can discover his shortcomings in time and correct them. Except for the looking-for-death spirit, which never changes, the rest can be corrected.

Tu Zishi also admitted his mistake: “I shouldn’t be hiding under the car, I have high self-esteem, I feel that I can do any task, and it is a loss to the organization if they don’t bring me. But now… hehe, I’m just Tan Yan’s burden. No wonder the organization wants to control the number of people, why do I have to make a fuss?”

He really regrets it, the young man’s proud feathers were plucked clean when he realized that he might become the pig teammate who killed his companion.

“It’s good that you understand,” Tan Yan said suddenly, “If you understand it from the bottom of your heart, don’t have a second time, there is no medicine for regret in life.”

When Tu Zishi heard Tan Yan’s words, he suddenly understood why he took him into the car at that time.

Even if Tu Zishi has been selected, if he is not arranged, he is considered to be spying on state secrets. If Tan Yan didn’t take him into the ‘void’ this time, what awaits Tu Zishi is definitely to drop out of school, there is no second choice. The appointment of an officer in the Southern Military Region is completely useless. In the face of the safety of the world and the survival of human beings, he is just a tiny ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Tu Zishi only felt chills in his hands and feet. He can still stand here now, it is the opportunity that Tan Yan won for him.

“I just think it’s a pity,” Tan Yan said lightly, “You can hide under the car under everyone’s eyes, it’s really amazing. If I hadn’t heard the sound of your heartbeat, it would have been hard for me to notice. I think you should be given a chance, after all, it is not easy to enter the university.”

Tu Zishi thought that Tan Yan was saying that it was not easy for them to stay in the special class, but he didn’t know how difficult it was to be a college student in Tan Yan’s time, and how much Tan Yan, who considered himself a big man, respected intellectuals.

“Since I brought you in, I will be responsible for you, in every sense of the word.” Tan Yan said again.

Recalling Tan Yan’s straightforwardness and decisiveness when killing monsters, and what Minister Yu said could be executed on the spot, Tu Zishi’s body was even colder, Tan Yan’s words were both protection and warning.

He stopped talking, the other two newcomers also hanged their heads, they were hit too hard today. Especially Hai Liren, at the last second was still with a lustful lady, although he would not violate discipline, he was also very happy at that time. Unexpectedly, in the next second, the lady would turn into an abyss with a huge mouth, his dagger couldn’t cut even one tentacle, and he still couldn’t shoot when he was in danger…

Hai Liren felt that his hands were shaking badly, can he still hold the gun steadily?

They think saving the world is too simple, this is really not a heavy responsibility that one person can shoulder.

The sewers became so quiet that only the rustling and gnawing of rats remained, and everyone didn’t even want to think about what these rats were eating.

Tan Yan was aware of the emotions of the team members, but he didn’t comfort them. Some thresholds must be crossed by their own legs, others cannot carry you on their backs.

In quiet pipes, every little bit of sound is amplified. As they walked, they heard the sound of ‘clack’ and ‘clack’, as if someone was walking barefoot in the pipe. The supernatural team wears special shoes, and the research team prepares light and silent shoes for them as much as possible.

Is it a monster? Listen to it, there is only one sound, but these monsters can transmit information over long distances, and even one cannot let down their vigilance.

Everyone took up their weapons one after another, but Tan Yan frowned.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, a small figure appeared in front of the crowd, Yan Yongfeng was the first to see the figure clearly, and whispered: “It’s a little girl, looks like a human, but there is no guarantee if it’s a monster.”

The figure is getting closer and closer, and finally, it is so close that everyone can see it clearly under the light of the flashlight.

Unlike those brightly dressed monsters, the little girl is in a mess, her body is dirty, and there is a scar on her arm from strong acid corrosion. In winter in B City, she only wore a dirty skirt, hugged a doll that lost its head, her feet were blue from the cold, and she walked through the pipeline step by step with difficulty.

If it was a monster, it would be too miserable.

“This is also… too much like a horror movie, right?” Ah San rubbed his arms and gritted his teeth and said.

He knew that he shouldn’t speak at this time, but he couldn’t control his nervousness, and wanted to jump up and curse loudly to relieve his emotions.

The little girl is getting closer and closer, but no one dares to shoot. She is too much like a human being, a child struggling to survive in an environment full of monsters, after meeting a companion, if what she gets is a bullet…

No one wants to do such a cruel thing, even if she might be a monster.

“It’s human.” Tan Yan said suddenly.

Don’t know how he confirmed it, but as long as Tan Yan said yes, everyone believed it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Liang Xian, who paid close attention to Tan Yan, found that after confirming that the girl was human, Tan Yan’s calm expression turned ugly.

He seems to prefer the little girl to be a monster.
