the last gentleman

Chapter 528 Plague City Wall and Vendors

Rat City - Pests
When William heard such a city name, he couldn't help but think of the first formidable enemy he encountered when he first became a gentleman, the fallen gentleman under the Twilight Clinic-Mr. Li.

William himself was curious about what a city named after the plague would look like.

Just halfway through the itinerary, the flight attendant in charge of this voyage found William again, and it seemed that there was something very important that needed to be notified shortly.

"Mr. William, just now we received a short-frequency band from the head office, informing us that Mouse City is also listed as a restricted area. How about we change the destination and send you to another nearby city."

"Did it just change?"

"Yes."

"The itinerary remains the same. Send me as close to the Mouse City as possible. I plan to touch the abyss on this trip. It would be good to get familiar with the situation on the edge of the abyss in advance."

"Ok."

The car stopped ten kilometers away from Mouse City.

Even though they were so far apart, William could still see the general outline of the Mouse City. The towering city walls reached hundreds of meters, crooked as if they were not made of conventional rough ash stone.

And a large amount of 'green gas' that represents the plague is constantly pouring out from the city, dyeing the clouds above the city green, and some clouds are still dripping with green rain, as if the sky is sick because of it.

The dilapidated roads are full of fungi, and there will be 'rats' crawling across the road at any time.

The shape of these rats has surpassed William's cognition, and only a few of them are quite normal.

Most rats only have the same head, and the body either crawls like a child, or has multiple legs like an octopus.

There was even a group of fur balls covered with mouse heads that rolled over, leaving a foul-smelling green bacterial liquid that evaporated quickly. It smelled like a stillborn mouse that accidentally fell into the kitchen sink and was soaked for several days. smell.

"Since entering the old world, although all the epidemic areas have symptoms, they are relatively 'clean', and this is the first time I have come to such a truly messy place.

Let me see what the inside of the so-called Mouse City looks like. "

William, who was walking on the main road, gradually discovered a problem. Although the fertility in the old world was blocked, these mice can produce companions through the form of "proliferation" and the efficiency is extremely high. This is obviously related to [cancer].

Through knowledge verification with 'Thirteen', it was confirmed that the Rat City is indeed under the jurisdiction of Cancer Palace, but the degree of connection is not high, and it is basically a free range.

When approaching the city along the main road and the structure of the city wall came into view, even the well-informed William was taken aback for a moment.

The city walls are not built of stone or steel, but 'local materials'.

Due to the unscrupulous proliferation, there are many deformed and short-lived rat individuals, and the city can accommodate only a limited number of rats, and the weak ones who are left must either leave or wait to die.

Therefore, a large number of corpses are produced every day in Mouse City and its surrounding areas.

Burning corpses is too troublesome and not conducive to the breeding of diseases,

The Rat City uses the corpses of dead rats as building materials, and builds the city walls with ancestral craftsmanship. The rotting liquid flowing out of the corpses can act as an adhesive.

In the end, the height of the city wall exceeded [-] meters, and a second city wall was even piled up on the periphery.

Even the sick in the old world would still feel very uncomfortable seeing this scene and would not approach it. Even without the barrier of the city wall, no one would want to attack the city.

Not to mention offending the cancer palace, you may be infected with the plague in the end, and even the stolen treasure chest may only contain a bunch of old defenses.

However, William soon noticed another problem.

There is obviously an underground sun moving not far away, but the sunlight shining on the Mouse City is pitifully small, as if there is an enchantment blocking the sunlight from entering.

"Is it because of too many corpses? Or is there some other reason... I always feel that this city hides other things besides the severe infectious disease itself.

There must be a reason for the Black Round Company to list it as a restricted area. Maybe this city has also been affected by the unknown abyss to a certain extent, and has even changed secretly. "

Just as William was standing in front of the city wall and thinking, he suddenly felt a hot feeling from his shoulders.

Little Putao, who was taking a lunch break, woke up suddenly. Not only did she get out of her shoulders, but she also actively opened her "Eye of Ashes", as if she was yearning for something in her eyes.

"Little Putao, what's wrong?"

"William! Ben Putao's body has a strong sense of homology with the city in front of me. One of the core ancient corpses that make up my body may be related to these weird old world rats, or some kind of infectious disease contained in the town. .”

"Fuck~ you have such a heavy taste?"

"Bah! What do you mean I have a heavy taste? It's obviously because the cemetery manager who raised me has a problem with his XP! My body composition is determined by him.

Don't say so much, since you happen to meet, let's go in and have a look. If you can find a suitable grape or a large plague aggregate, maybe you can awaken the second part of me.

At that time, Ben Putao's strength will increase greatly, won't you take down Abyss easily? "

said,

Little Putao also spits out four ancient corpse eyeballs that symbolize his main composition.

The first eyeball on the right corresponds to the activated "Eyeball Collector Gemhall", with a strange and cold evil energy condensed on the surface, with a multi-pupil structure.

As for the other three, they are all in a dim state and have not yet been activated.

However, one of them slightly reflected the plague green light similar to that of Mouse City, which meant that Little Grape's induction was indeed correct.

"Little Putao, it's better for you to keep a low profile.

Since you can sense it here, it is very likely that a certain mouse in the city, or even a large group of mice, can also sense you. "

"What are you afraid of! Haven't you been able to fight against the tumor knight? This grape is even more capable of controlling the evil sun. Let me see which mouse dares to come close. When the time comes, please eat the mouse skewer!"

"Why don't you turn into a prophet directly, Little Putao, and we will split up in the city, which will be more efficient?"

"Ahem~ I don't know people well, so it's not good to split up when you first enter the city? Ouch, I'm still a little sleepy. I'm going to continue my nap just now. If you find anything, remember to call me."

Seeing the little grape retracted into his body, William didn't say much.

After tidying up his clothes a little and putting on the usual needle-pricking mask, he officially walked towards the interior of the plague city.

There is no watchman at the gate,
The gate of the Mouse City looks like a huge gap that was gnawed by a mouse with its teeth. It is raining heavily inside, and even green rainwater overflows from the gate.

Although there are no guards, there are several vendors standing at the door.
They all have rodent heads, the only difference is that they are hairy or hairless,

Although they are wearing costumes, they are extremely dirty, and through the holes in the costumes, they can even peek into their fleshy cortex full of abscesses

When they saw William, an outsider dressed in extraordinary clothes and even wearing an exquisite mask, they immediately surrounded him.

"Sir, here I provide the freshest inner membrane umbrella, which is taken from the stomach pouch of an unsplit ratman, which can effectively resist the "rot rain", and can be taken away with only 10 coins.

In addition, I also provide full-package raincoats, which are even better, and only need 30 coins. "

"Does the boss need to live in the shop? My house is remodeled, and it is guaranteed to be clean and not disturbed.

And we also provide 'self-service'. The individuals split from my wife are all fair-skinned and beautiful, with soft hair and are very good at housework. How about it?Do you want to try it, my wife is great.

The fee is not high, 20 a day is enough. "

"Professional leads the way! Professional leads the way, you can take any road! You can reach any place the fastest."

William turned his head to look at the white ratman who was leading the way,
There are many small hands on the abdomen of its upright body, one of the eyes on the face has been gouged out, and the white hair color is caused by aging, which seems to be quite reliable.

"Lead the way."

While looking at the white mouse, William lightly flicked the iron needle of the mask with his index finger.

Ding!
The sound was loud, and except for the white mouse that was asked to lead the way, the rest of the mice felt a pain from the depths of their souls.

When he recovered, the youth surrounded by them had disappeared.
