Chapter 36: Cost-Effectiveness

"... Can't get in, it's too small, really can't get in."

"Hurry up."

"... I don't want to, you're bullying me! Wuwuwu..."

Wu Pifu scolded with black lines on his forehead: "What on earth are you talking about? If we don't get into this sewer, we will all die here!"

The slaughter area naturally had sewers. The filth after flushing all went down the sewer. And because the flushing volume was large, this naturally could not be a small household hole, but a large sewer pipe that could accommodate people.

At this moment, Wu Pifu and Jiu Jiu, Wu Pifu used the water pipe of the assembly line to clean his body and changed into a work uniform, and Jiu Jiu also wore a work uniform. Unfortunately, because her body was too small, this work uniform looked like a quilt draped over her, and she shrank in this set of work uniform, looking like a bird spirit.

Wu Pifu used other remaining work uniforms to bundle a large package, which contained the meat he cut from the wild boar demon. To facilitate carrying, all the bones and viscera were not wanted. Except for some meat, he only wanted two pig trotters, because the wild boar demon only had pig trotters on its lower limbs, and human hands on its upper limbs, so there were only two.

Even after picking and choosing, nearly two hundred catties of meat were finally cut and carried on Wu Pifu's back.

At this time, the metal doors leading to other areas in the slaughter area were constantly being rammed. There were half-demonized "employees" outside several doors. Wu Pifu and Jiu Jiu were trapped in this slaughter area, and looking at this state, they would be surrounded and killed by hundreds of terrifying monsters in at most one or two minutes.

So the two stood at the sewer pipe entrance.

Jiu Jiu's face was wrinkled. She had already vomited twice at this sewer, but she couldn't step down, because it was really too filthy, rotten flesh, some skeletons, and even maggots visible to the naked eye crawling everywhere.

Most birds love cleanliness, and Jiu Jiu is no exception. At this time, she wanted to die when she had to drill into such a filthy place.

But at this time, there was no other way. She closed her eyes and made several attempts to step forward at the sewer pipe entrance, but then her butt hurt slightly, and she was kicked down directly by Wu Pifu.

"Ah ah ah..."

Jiu Jiu jumped and screamed. When Wu Pifu also jumped down, she immediately bit Wu Pifu's arm, and just let Wu Pifu carry her forward in a semi-suspended state.

Although the entire sewer was filthy, it looked much safer than above. Those "employees" were all green-faced and fanged, turned into demon images. Although there were no monsters like wild boar demons yet, looking at those images, they might continue to break through at any time. And just in this factory, there were hundreds of similar "employees." With this quantity, even if Wu Pifu opened the controllable possession state, he would be dead.

As the two entered the sewer, a loud noise came from behind, followed by a series of roars. It seemed as if there was some vibration behind them. Jiu Jiu trembled slightly, and the teeth biting Wu Pifu's arm seemed to be loosening.

"It's okay, keep biting." Wu Pifu continued to walk forward without looking back. He said in a deep voice: "The ground is very dirty, I'll walk... rest assured, they can't get in, their body size is too large, they can't get into this sewer."

Jiu Jiu's body trembled slightly, and she continued to bite Wu Pifu's arm in silence.

The two continued to advance in this filthy and dark sewer. The sewer was sloping downward. As they walked, the front gradually opened up, and there were faint street lights in the sewer. But Wu Pifu, who saw this scene, frowned.

He found a slightly cleaner place in this area, then bent his thighs slightly, put Jiu Jiu on his lap, stood in a single-legged stance, and then said to Jiu Jiu: "We won't go forward, we'll find a narrow place nearby to hide."

Jiu Jiu opened her eyes wide, loosened her teeth and said: "Why? It's so filthy and dirty here, I don't want to stay for a second..."

"Living is more important."

Wu Pifu said in a deep voice: "The 'Weekend' lasts only twenty-four hours. The longer you stay here, the greater the possibility of encountering danger. This sewer has become spacious, so there must be other dangers below, or stepping into other dangerous areas, it's very dangerous."

Jiu Jiu nodded half-understandably. She blinked and said: "But didn't you just say that there might be maintainers from other areas? Don't you want to go and see?"

Wu Pifu looked around, then his eyes lit up, he carried Jiu Jiu on his shoulder, then carefully walked forward for more than ten meters, and saw a utility room in the sewer. He lay on the door and listened for a while, then gently pulled the lock, Dark Jin burst out, and the lock was pulled off directly.

As soon as the utility room was opened, a strong moldy smell poured out from inside, choking Jiu Jiu into coughing repeatedly. But Wu Pifu was overjoyed, took Jiu Jiu into it, and once inside, he closed the door immediately.

"This smell is too choking!" Jiu Jiu said dissatisfiedly.

Wu Pifu ignored it. He looked at the utility room through the faint light coming from the crack in the door of the utility room. After seeing it clearly, he put Jiu Jiu on the ground.

The utility room was only four or five square meters in size, filled with various utility tools. Although there was a lot of dust, it was much cleaner than the sewer outside the utility room. At the same time, because the utility room was small, there were no hiding corners, and there were no safety hazards. Only then did Wu Pifu breathe a sigh of relief.

After Jiu Jiu landed on the ground, she also looked around, and then she continued to ask: "I'm asking you, didn't you just say that there might be maintainers from other areas? Why don't you plan to go and see?"

Wu Pifu sat on the ground and shook his head: "What's the use of looking? This is not a dream world, and you can't set up a shelter here. Every time you enter the 'Weekend', the location is different, and the monsters you encounter are different. If you take risks just to confirm whether the other party is a maintainer, this cost-effectiveness is too low."

Jiu Jiu continued to blink and said: "But isn't that your teammate? Maybe it's a future partner?"

Wu Pifu shook his head. He looked around, stood up again, walked to a piece of debris and fiddled with something, and said: "Except for Amadae and Xu Shilan, right, and you, I don't have any other teammates now, and there are no future partners. I don't have such great ideals, I just want to live. Of course, if I can live more comfortably and safely, I won't mind taking a little risk. Still, the cost-effectiveness is too poor."

Jiu Jiu looked at Wu Pifu fiddling with something, and she couldn't help but chatter again: "Then why did you go to kill those monsters just now? I also saw what the Main Brain displayed before. Dying once or twice here won't lead to immediate loss, right?"

Wu Pifu remained silent, but his hands didn't stop. Soon, he hooked a piece of metal with a wire, and placed it at the crack of the utility room door, so that he could barely see the scene outside the utility room. Then he found a few bolts and metal sticks, and barely reinforced the door lock.

After doing all this, Wu Pifu finally calmed down.

Jiu Jiu watched him finish all this quietly, and then chattered again: "I'm asking you, you haven't answered yet."

Wu Pifu was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "There's no why. What's the point of discussing things that have already been done?"

Jiu Jiu suddenly giggled. She moved her position and sat beside Wu Pifu: "You are completely different from the scholars in the storytelling. They all say that scholars are heartless."

While talking, Jiu Jiu hummed a tune softly. Wu Pifu didn't stop her. He just closed his eyes and dozed off, listening to the tune, feeling a bit sleepy.

At this time, the explosions outside were still continuing, and the orientation was constantly changing. I don't know what kind of characters were doing what. According to the number and intensity of these explosions, these characters were terrifyingly powerful. If it wasn't the infighting of the BOSS-level monsters of the "Weekend," but the real maintainers fighting, then at least they were the extravagant characters who had obtained a baseline reality of zero point seven, or even zero point six, the extreme masters. I'm afraid he didn't even have the qualifications to watch the battle.

The earthquake caused by the explosion was still continuing, and the entire utility room was trembling, and dust fell from time to time. However, Wu Pifu and Jiu Jiu were hiding in this corner, but they were also at ease. As long as they didn't mess around, the danger of the "Weekend" was not as great as imagined.

At this moment, Wu Pifu asked: "You mentioned demon before... are there many demons in your world?"

Jiu Jiu leaned on Wu Pifu, her two feet swinging, and she said: "Not many, but not few. There are more than ten lives with demon blood in the mountain forest where I am, but they are not successful, and there are no demons with twenty years of cultivation."

Wu Pifu silently evaluated the baseline reality zero point seven world in the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because the historical event was achieved, he had already established a Level 2 shelter in that world, which meant he had to stay in that world for seven days within thirty days.

This could not be avoided, otherwise, after thirty days, there might be a Level 2 nightmare penetrating at any time.

According to Jiu Jiu's existence, that world actually had lives like demons, which at least involved a little bit of the realm of gods and demons. Even if Jiu Jiu said there were not many demons, he felt a little numb in his heart.

Wu Pifu asked again: "Then how is the 'cultivation' of your demons calculated?"

Jiu Jiu blinked, tilted her head and thought for a while before saying: "It can only be sensed by spirits, or people who have achieved cultivation. It cannot be digitized like the Main Brain. For example, my cultivation is only three to five years, which is as smart as humans, and I don't have any other abilities. Then demons with fifty years of cultivation can turn into half-human bodies, and demons with one hundred years of cultivation can turn into human bodies. After that, I don't know."

As she spoke, Jiu Jiu yawned. Wu Pifu saw this and said: "You sleep for a while, I'm here."

"Okay."

Jiu Jiu didn't be polite, and slowly fell asleep leaning on Wu Pifu.

I don't know how long she slept, suddenly Jiu Jiu woke up. She was about to speak, but the next second her mouth was covered by a palm. She looked over in panic, and saw Wu Pifu looking at her with an extremely ugly face and shaking his head.

At the crack of the utility room door, on the metal piece reflecting the scene outside...

A large number of heads were embedded in a huge body like jelly, and this monster, which didn't know what it was, was trying to squeeze into the utility room from the sewer!
