Chapter 286 The Mermaid in the Manhole
"Well, can you not say such disgusting words in such a disgusting tone?"
Astoria, with a Sixth Night Symphony look on her face, said with some disgust.
"It's just a joke, after all, the taste down there may not make you open your mouth"...
Zhang Qi adjusted the breathing valves inside the two masks, which can filter out most undead biological toxins.
The test samples were kindly provided by Mr. Slytherin, Ms. Ravenclaw was responsible for the design and production, and Ms. Hufflepuff was responsible for cleaning up the experimental site.
Some people may ask: Why is there one person missing?
That's because Gryffindor was unlucky to wear this mask and test the poison on himself in the venue.
After Mr. Gryffindor's own experiments, the filter inside the mask Zhang Qi wore was absolutely effective.
So Ms. Ravenclaw made a second mask as requested, which is the purple beak-shaped mask that Astoria currently wears.
"Adjust the glass piece to low-light night vision state."
Zhang Qi bent down and grabbed the handle on the iron plate, and opened it with force, revealing the dark hole below.
A warm breeze with a putrid smell blew against their faces. Fortunately, the two of them had activated the filter in advance, otherwise they would have easily vomited all over the place.
"Wow, this mask has so many functions."
Astoria looked at the green world under the low-light night vision lens with great curiosity and looked around.
"I always feel that there is something bad down there, but with our current strength, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?"
Zhang Qi stepped into the cave entrance first.
The steps inside the cave entrance are surprisingly clean and don't feel as greasy as expected.
"Are you ready to go to this disgusting place again?"
Zhang Qi asked without looking back, and then walked in first.
The sewer here seems to be connected to the sewer in London. The pedestrian area is very spacious, but it seems to be in a state of disrepair, and the bricks have even fallen off in some places.
This place is not equipped with fluorescent lights like the main sewers in London. Instead, there is no light source, and only a few magic mushrooms growing on the ground maintain the dim light.
"There is always a weird feeling here, but I can't say what's weird about it."
Astoria murmured to herself, and then cautiously pulled out the gun Zhang Qi had just given to him.
"Yeah, look at this."
Zhang Qi, who was walking forward, stepped on something. He squatted down solemnly and used the dagger at his waist to pick up the mucus on the ground.
"Isn't this kind of thing familiar?"
"Hateful secretion? But shouldn't the mucus secreted by that thing be green, poisonous, and corrosive to a certain extent? But the knife in your hand"...
"It looks like it may be a new species."
Zhang Qi's brows were almost twisted into a knot.
The improved abomination we encountered before was successfully annihilated under the siege of a reinforced platoon. If there really is an improved abomination in the sewer...
So what will become of this disgusting piece of meat now?
"whee"!
Just as Zhang Qi slowed down his pace and moved forward cautiously, a laugh suddenly sounded in the silent space.
"who"!
Astoria was so frightened that she yelled and pointed the gun in her hand at the ditch where the sound had just come from.
"boom"!
Zhang Qi didn't talk nonsense at all. He directly pulled out the alchemy pistol stuck in his waist with his backhand, and without taking aim, he pulled the trigger towards the place where the sound was coming from behind him.
"call"!
A fire dragon suddenly burst out of the dark sewer, spraying violent flames towards the thing lying in the sewage that made the sound.
At the same time that Zhang Qi pulled the trigger, the alchemical protection system designed by Ms. Lamenkraut was immediately activated, forming an indestructible transparent barrier around the two of them!
"Boom"!
In the originally silent Knockturn Alley, the street suddenly began to tremble, and then the manhole covers were sprayed into the sky one after another by violent explosions.
Countless plumes of smoke and dust shot out into the sky from the shaken sewer shaft opening like arrows, leaving behind plumes of smoke one after another on the quiet streets.
Just now, the flames ignited the methane in the sewer, causing an extremely violent explosion.
The violent shock wave rapidly expanded in the small space, bouncing back and forth between walls and barriers, destroying everything with abundant mechanical energy.
A wall-like shock wave rushed along the narrow pipe from the location of the explosion, shattering everything in its path before hitting the wall at the end.
The bricks shattered under the tremendous impact, and the thrown up gravel and dust flew wildly along with the strong wind.
These gravels, which are sharper than fragments, are enough to kill any living thing in the pipe!
"Ah, it hurts, it really hurts"!
The alchemical barrier disappeared immediately after detecting that the wind pressure had decreased to close to normal, and the two were able to hear the isolated sounds again.
But at this moment, the painful and sick moans of a person appeared where the laughter had just come out.
It was as if the pain didn't hurt him, but rather made him more pleasurable.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhang Qi glanced in the direction of the sound, and then was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.
In the sewage of the sewer pool, there is a mermaid.
Maybe this mermaid's face was still very beautiful just now, but now it has been blown to pieces by the exploding swamp gas.
The eyes were hung by nerves and swayed from side to side, and the mandible was blown to an unknown location, leaving only a tongue twitching in the throat.
And this mermaid's body was covered with all kinds of pustules and sores.
Colorful thick water flowed from her part above the water, leaving a colorful nick in the already dirty sewage.
"Ah, it's been a long time since I felt any pain."
The merman covered with sores touched his cheek with his incomplete fingers.
The area touched by the fingers began to scab and heal quickly, and new flesh and blood grew in a short time.
However, the skin does not seem to grow as fast as the muscles, so the mermaid still retains a bloody face.
Under the effect of night vision low-light lenses, all the details on her face were clearly marked.
Astoria looked at the rotting mermaid, and a strong feeling of nausea suddenly rose in her throat.
She resisted the desire to vomit, because if she took off her mask now, the smell in the sewer would be enough to make her drown in her own vomit.
And as a consequence of this incident, Astoria will never want to see the sad love story between a wizard and a mermaid hidden under her sister's bed for the rest of her life.
Those romance novels hidden under Daphne's bed are all lies!
