Chapter 145 Slaughterhouse Sewage
"Okay..." Shirley didn't seem surprised: "Then let's go. How likely do you think we will encounter monsters?"

"If it's in a tunnel, I think infinity is close to zero." He Nan said matter-of-factly; "The reason is simple, the space inside is too small. Isn't it too crowded for monsters to live here? Besides, it's too easy to be Found."

"Hmm." Shirley agreed with a soft snort, "Then let's see what's on the other end of the tube... I hope it's not too far away."

This tunnel is not big enough for He Nan and the two to walk upright in it.

You have to be hunched over.

Walking for a long time is really painful in the back.

Fortunately, after dozens of meters, they finally saw the light of the exit.

The seal is still affixed here.

It can be seen that the police just want to prevent outsiders from entering.

...if it was indeed posted by the police.

"Well...the other end of the pipe is an old sewer." He Nan opened the seal again and looked outside: "I see, this was originally a part of the sewer system, very old... Later New York expanded the Queens borough residential area , and the old gutter was removed. But now there is still access to the sewer... just open the valve or the grating."

This area is semi-enclosed.

The top is sealed off by a solid grid-like fence, and the only way out to the surface is by climbing a ladder with a cylindrical guardrail.

If you go to the ground, you will find that this is a slaughterhouse.

They will wash down the blood and impurities of slaughtered animals directly from this open-air sewage outfall.

Because the ground is sloping around and there are old gutters here, and the slaughterhouse fills in some water with a large hose, they can easily carry this sewage to the sewer.

As for the tunnel where the two of He Nan were located, the position was padded higher.

So it will not be affected by the dirt, causing them to flow into the park and slide down the hillside.

It also seemed to be part of the sewer. According to He Nan and Shirley's discussion, they finally determined that it was not demolished because of the cost of demolition and the problem of reuse.For reinforcement, a plastic layer is reinforced inside to prevent the original stone pipe from cracking due to aging of the material, causing problems such as soil loosening.

Raspberry Park was built at the end of last century.

It was originally planned to build another factory here.

I am afraid that they intend to use sewer sewage to reduce costs just like slaughterhouses.

It's a pity that it didn't work out in the end.

Due to the long-term waste of land, the great momentum of promoting the concept of natural environmental protection at that time, and the lack of parks in the underdeveloped Queens, the city government built Raspberry Park under pressure.

"...The smell is really fishy here," He Nan covered his nose, took out his mask and put it on: "No, you have to cover it up."

"Why, go in and have a look too?" Seeing him doing this, Shirley sighed and put on the mask.

"Definitely have to go and have a look." He Nan said, "You may encounter synthetic beasts, so be careful...but this case should have nothing to do with them."

"Well, because it was a month ago... But what if there were synthetic beasts raging at that time, but no one knew about it?"

"...That's certainly possible." He Nan looked at the blood-stained stone walls, fearing that he would never show his true colors, and asked, "...Do you know what makes me feel the most uncomfortable right now? "

"Because there is a lot of minced meat and useless offal, it looks disgusting."

"No, it's not..." He Nan shook his head: "Instead, it's a slaughterhouse... Think about the corpse we just saw..."

"...I understand." Shirley was silent for a moment: "But it seems unlikely."

"...Yes. If it was done by the slaughterhouse, why should the corpse be taken to the other end of the pipe? Wouldn't it be better to just throw her into the sewer?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it might just be some kind of camouflage." Shirley looked at the large grid on the top and felt that it was almost like a cover: "If you want to go down, I'm afraid you have to go around those that may fall into it at any time." The bloody place... just walk close to it."

"For sure." He Nan leaned out and looked carefully at the bottom of the pipe outlet: "This platform... has no steps leading to the bottom. If you want to go to the bottom, you can only jump down. If you want to come back, you have to go to the slaughterhouse. Go out, or climb back from the platform. For the former... it may be a bit embarrassing to enter someone's factory suddenly. For the latter, climbing this platform may be a bit dirty. I think the bottom is dirty with blood. So I will go by myself have a look--"

"—I'm coming down." Shirley jumped down and turned to look at him: "Hurry up."

"Uh...Okay." He Nan quickly followed suit and jumped down.

Fortunately, this side was not flooded with blood.

Otherwise, when jumping down, a lot of blood will be splashed.

I'm afraid it was splashed with blood, or it has been corrupted for an unknown amount of time, and the stench is unbearable.

Flies were buzzing everywhere.

Fortunately, however, there were no maggots crawling.

Probably because the corpse will not wait until the maggots have already been washed down.

"This way." He Nan pointed to a nearby step: "Be careful, Shirley."

"Hmm." She nodded.

Then it slipped.

Although it will not fall, it is scary enough.

"Look, I told you that you slipped carefully." He Nan quickly grabbed her: "You slipped at the club yesterday... why don't you change your shoes."

"...It's not the shoes. It's just too slippery here." Shirley raised her foot and rubbed it on the steps with a trace of disgust, rubbing off the vesicular flesh sticking to the texture of the sole :"Why……"

Next to this step is the slide.

It is understandable that there will be a little bit of mistaken rush to this.

"Go on down, and be careful." He Nan slowed down: "There is so much blood in this sewer area, the environment underneath must be disgusting.

"It's a paradise for scavengers." Shirley smiled: "I can already foresee what will happen next."

Shirley was wrong.

The scene below was completely beyond her expectations.

Of course, He Nan was completely shocked.

The chute made several turns and finally reached the bottom.

It was a stinking place.Of course, it was full of the fishy smell of blood.

Everything is rotting.

It was a cesspool.

...a cesspool that was originally connected to other sewer areas.

Now, the valve is closed, and it is isolated independently, with large swaths of bloody water accumulated.It soaked and floated viscera, scraps of meat, fur, and fine maggots rolling over them.
