It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 71 Red Ghost

"This water is disgusting, guys. Wait for me to stop it."

There was no response, and the man continued to talk to himself.

Then, Liu Zheng heard a loud noise.

"Boom!!!"

After a loud bang like an 800mm cannon exploding, everything returned to calm.

He heard no more the sound of the wind or the sound of the water.

"Brothers, that was okay. If you think it's okay, give it a thumbs up."

"Don't give out tips. Keep them for yourself to buy food and drinks."

The man walked further and further away as he spoke until he could no longer be heard.

After a few minutes, the tree cage automatically released and retracted into the ground.

But the arm of the plane tree did not come out again.

Of course, Liu Zheng's attention was not on this.

When he saw the scene clearly, he couldn't help but let out the loudest shout of his life.

"Fuck!"

I saw that the entire sewer area had become bumpy, and the water in the sewage river was almost empty.

The ceiling, the ground, the walls, there were corpses of different kinds everywhere.

There are skinning monsters, swarms of rats, giant bugs, and strange creatures that look like both crabs and spiders, with two giant claws and three compound eyes.

But more of it is fish.

Liu Zheng took a quick look and saw no less than dozens of them.

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and searched carefully with his eyes.

After a moment, he looked away regretfully.

None of these fish have megamouth whales.

However, Liu Zheng's mood soon improved.

If quality isn’t enough, quantity can make up for it. This many fish can at least equal half a megamouth whale, right?
Moreover, there may be fish of higher level than the megamouth whale.

So the question is, how can he take away so many fish?
Just as he was worried, a strange noise suddenly came from above his head.

Liu Zheng dodged, raised his head and drew his sword.

But immediately, his tense muscles relaxed again.

It turned out that the roots of the plane tree had drilled through the ceiling and come down.

The tree root hung down in front of Liu Zheng and then grew a mouth.

"Stupid human, why don't you just leave and wait for death?"

French plane tree music broadcast.

"what happened?"

He frowned.

"The sewer is going crazy. If you don't leave now, you'll turn into shit."

Said the French plane tree.

"Why are you mad?"

"Why? You farted and someone stuffed a firecracker into your mouth, and you don't get mad?"

The plane tree sneered.

"Uh"

Although its metaphor was a bit fresh and unconventional, Liu Zheng did understand it.

Obviously, it was the fire mage's blow before leaving that punctured the hemorrhoids in the sewer.

"Hurry."

Before the plane tree could finish its sentence, the ceiling suddenly closed and clamped the tree roots off.

The broken tree roots fell to Liu Zheng's feet like a piece of dead insect.

"You can't leave."

A voice said faintly.

"Who?"

Liu Zheng looked in the direction of the sound vigilantly.

"A ghost."

A red shadow floated out from the wall.

It has no face and its shape is extremely vague.

One could only vaguely see that it was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a coat.

"All the passages leading up have been blocked. You have no choice but to stay here."

Red Ghost said.

"Why did you have to tell me this specifically?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“Only when people truly understand their situation can they make the right choice.”

The Red Ghost walked over slowly.

Although it could float, it felt extremely heavy, as if countless mountains were pressing down on it.

"What choice?"

He did not retreat, but took the initiative to meet it.

"Live or die."

The Red Ghost stopped a few steps away from him and spoke.

Liu Zheng frowned.

He smelled a strong smell of rust and gunpowder.

"Can you help me?" he asked.

"Yes."

Red Ghost nodded.

"What do I have to give?"

“It is a good quality to know how to give before you receive.”

Red Ghost's tone seemed to be somewhat appreciative.

“This is the truth of the world.”

Not to mention that Liu Zheng is an old hand who has been struggling in society. Even if he is a young man who is ignorant of the world, as long as he can survive in this strange world, he will definitely understand this point deeply.

"Unfortunately, the truth has always been in the hands of a few people."

“And even if someone wants to spread the truth, they will be stopped by the majority of the minority.”

The Red Ghost seemed to have something else in his words.

"Let's get back to the point. What do I want you to do to help me get out of the sewer?"

He interrupted the Red Ghost.

"It's simple. Help us generate electricity."

The Red Ghost was not angry and spoke directly.

"what?"

"Our electricity usually comes from hydroelectric power, but now that the water supply has been cut off, the electricity has also been cut off."

"So, we need you to help us generate electricity."

Red Ghost explained.

"I have no problem with running on the generator, but isn't it a bit inefficient? I still have to make a delivery later."

"Wait, you just said human power generation, right?"

Liu Zheng suddenly realized the problem.

"Of course, you can only generate a few kilowatt-hours of electricity by pedaling."

Red Ghost nodded.

".Okay, how much do you want?"

He said helplessly.

"Not necessarily. It depends on your situation. Follow me. The sewers are going to be detoxified."

The Red Ghost pointed to the ceiling.

Liu Zheng looked up and saw that white tumors were growing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they grew to the size of fists and densely covered the entire ceiling.

Then, all the white tumors opened their eyes and looked at Liu Zheng.

"Close your eyes."

Red Ghost said.

He closed his eyes as he was told.

The moment he closed his eyes, Liu Zheng saw the red ghost pounce on him.

"Go forward, stop when I say stop, and open your eyes."

The Red Ghost's voice sounded above him.

Faced with this situation, Liu Zheng could only follow its guidance.

He counted in his mind as he walked.

When he counted to 653, the Red Ghost finally spoke.

"Stop."

Liu Zheng stopped and opened his eyes.

In front of him was a security door similar to that of a bank vault.

"Turn the valve and go in."

Red Ghost said.

Liu Zheng turned the valve as instructed, pushed it open and entered the door.

"Click."

With the sound of a mechanism engaging, the security door closed automatically.

It was suddenly pitch black inside the door.

"Paul, turn on the emergency lights."

Red Ghost shouted.

"Okay, teacher."

A little boy's voice responded.

As soon as he finished speaking, several green lights lit up.

Although the brightness was not high, Liu Zheng was able to see the situation here clearly thanks to his strong physique.

The space is about the size of a classroom and is surrounded by metal walls.

There were more than a dozen desks and chairs in the middle of the classroom, and on each chair sat a child in school uniform.

The boy was wearing a gray suit and trousers, a military cap on his head, and leather shoes on his feet.

The girls wore white lace dresses and tulle flowers of different colors on their heads.

Their clothes all looked worn, but still kept their cohesion.

Judging from their appearance, these children should all be human.

But Liu Zheng always felt something was wrong.

When he got closer, he finally understood why.

These children are all broken.
