Chapter 528 Plague Walls and Traders

  Rat City-Pesters

When William heard such a city name, he couldn't help but think of the first powerful enemy he encountered when he first became a gentleman, the fallen gentleman-Mr. Li who was located under the Twilight Clinic.

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

Just after the halfway point of the trip, the steward in charge of this voyage approached William again. It seemed that there was something very important that required short notice.

“Mr. William, we just received a short frequency band from the head office, informing us that Rat City is also classified as a restricted area. How about we change the destination and send you to another nearby city.”

 “Did you just change it?”

 “That’s right.”

“The itinerary remains the same, and will send me as close to the Rat City as possible. I originally planned to contact the abyss on this trip, so it would be good to familiarize myself with the conditions at the edge of the abyss in advance.”

"OK."

  The car stopped ten kilometers away from Rat City.

Even at such a distance, William could still see the general outline of Rat City. The towering city walls reached hundreds of meters and were crooked as if they were made of regular rough-hewn stone.

And a large amount of "green gas" representing the plague continued to gush out from the sky above the city, dyeing the clouds above the city green, and some clouds were still dripping with green rain, as if the sky was nauseating because of it.

 The dilapidated roads are covered with fungi, and rats will crawl across them at any time.

The shapes of these rats have exceeded William's knowledge, and only a few of them are still normal.

Most rats only have their heads unchanged, and their bodies either crawl like a child, or have multiple legs like an octopus.

There was even a ball of hair covered with mouse heads rolling past, leaving behind a stinky and quickly evaporating green bacterial fluid. The smell was just like a stillborn mouse that accidentally fell into the sink and was soaked for several days. The smell.

“Since entering the old world, although various epidemic areas have expressed symptoms, they are still relatively ‘clean’. This is the first time I have come to such a truly dirty place.

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

Walking on the main road, William slowly discovered a problem. Although reproduction in the old world was blocked, these rats could produce companions through 'proliferation' and were extremely efficient. This was obviously related to [cancer].

Through knowledge verification with ‘Thirteen’, it was also confirmed that 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 city wall structure came into view, even the well-informed William was stunned for a moment.

 The city wall is not built of stone or steel, but "local materials".

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

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

 Burning corpses is too troublesome and not conducive to the spread of disease.

The Rat City used the corpses of dead rats as building materials and used ancestral craftsmanship to build city walls. The putrefactive liquid flowing out of the corpses could act as an adhesive.

Eventually the height of the city wall exceeded 100 meters, and a second city wall was even built around the perimeter.

Even the sick people in the old world will still feel very uncomfortable when they see this scene and are unwilling to get close. Even if there is no barrier of the city wall, no one wants to attack this city.

Not only will it offend the Cancer Palace, but you may also be infected with the plague in the end, and even the stolen treasure box may only contain a bunch of old answers.

However, William soon noticed another problem.

There is obviously an underground sun moving not far away, but the sunlight shining on Rat City is pitiful, as if there is a layer of barrier blocking the sunlight from entering.

“Is it because of the excessive accumulation of corpses? Or is there some other reason... It always feels like this city is hiding something else besides its own severe infectious diseases.

There must be a reason why the Black Tape Company listed 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 when William stopped in front of the city wall to think, he suddenly felt a hot feeling on his shoulders.

Little Putao, who was taking a lunch break, suddenly woke up. Without saying anything, he got out of his shoulders and actively opened the "Ember Eyes", as if he was longing for something in his eyes.

 “Little Grape, what’s wrong?”

"William! Ben Putao's body has a strong 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. ."

 “Damn it~ you have such a strong taste?”

“Bah! What do you mean I have a strong taste? It’s obviously because the cemetery manager who raised me has a problem with his XP, okay! My body composition was determined by him.

Don’t say so much, since you happen to happen upon it, let’s go in and have a look. If you can find suitable grapes or a large plague aggregate, you may be able to awaken the second part of me.

 When the time comes, the strength of this grape will be greatly increased, won’t it be easy to take down the abyss? "

He said,

Little Grape also spit out four ancient corpse eyeballs from his mouth, which symbolize his main components.

The first eyeball on the right corresponds to the activated "Eyeball Collector. Gemhar". The surface is condensed with weird and cold evil energy and has a multi-pupil structure.

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

However, one of them slightly reflected a plague-green light similar to that of Rat City, which showed that Little Grape's induction was indeed correct.

“Little Grape, it’s better for you to keep a low profile.

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

“What are you afraid of! Aren’t you already able to fight against the Tumor Knight? This Putao can even control the Evil Yang. I’ll see which mouse dares to come close. I’ll treat you to a rat skewer then!”

“Little Putao, why don’t you transform into the form of a prophet and we split up in the city, which would be more efficient?”

“Ahem~ People are unfamiliar with the place. It’s not good to split up just after entering the city, right? Oops, I’m still a little sleepy. I’m going to continue my nap. If you find anything, remember to call me.”

Seeing Little Grape retracting into his body, William didn't say much.

 After adjusting his clothes a little and putting on the accustomed needle-punched mask, he officially walked into the interior of this plague city.

There is no watchman at the city gate,

The gate of Rat City looks like a huge gap gnawed by rats with their teeth. It is pouring rain inside, and there is even green rainwater overflowing from the gate.

 Although there were no guards, there were several vendors standing at the door.

 They all have rat heads, the only difference is whether they have hair or no hair.

Although they are wearing clothes, they are extremely dirty. Through the holes in the clothes, one can even see their skin covered with abscesses.

　　When they saw William, an outsider who was dressed in extraordinary clothes and even wore an exquisite mask, they immediately gathered around him.

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

 In addition, I also provide fully wrapped raincoats, which are more effective and only cost 30 coins. "

“Does the boss need to live in a hotel? The house was renovated from his own house, ensuring it is clean and undisturbed.

And we also provide 'home service'. My wife's split individuals are all fair-skinned, beautiful, with smooth 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, just 20 per day. "

“Professionals lead the way! Professionals lead the way, you can go on any road! You can reach anywhere as quickly as possible.”

William turned to look at the white rat man who was shouting and leading the way.

The abdomen of its upright body has multiple small hand structures. One of the eyes on its face has been gouged out. The white fur color is caused by aging. It seems to be quite reliable.

 “Lead the way.”

 While William looked at the white rat, he lightly flicked the iron pin of the mask with his index finger.

Ding!

The sound was loud, and except for the white rat who was asked to lead the way, all the other rats felt a pain from the depths of their souls.

 When he recovered, the young man surrounded by them was gone.
