Chapter 53: Heavenly Father and Savior

"Through this pipe, cross a gap with seven fences, and you'll be in the Undercity."

Sewage flowed in the pipe like a river, turbid, fishy, and sticky like a swamp, and bubbles would pop up from time to time.

A ferry boat made of scrap iron and synthetic wood sailed on the sewage in the pipe.

The boatman, wearing old black clothes, poled the boat and introduced the Undercity to Zhou Yun and Jeanne.

Starting from the trash mountain in District 13, entering the complex and chaotic Hive pipe system from the pipe outlet in the Hive Outskirts,

and then riding the boat all the way along the pipe, you could reach the Undercity area.

After Jeanne said that sentence "Doraemon, hurry up and help Nobita Hua Hua Hua Di Huang" in Chinese, Zhou Yun tentatively believed her.

He felt that this was indeed something the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang could do.

So Zhou Yun entrusted Old One-Eye to find a safe route to the Undercity for him... of course, the expenses incurred were all reimbursed by Leina.

Before arriving at the Lower Hive, Zhou Yun still used Body Clay to slightly change his body shape and face, turning into that Lion King look.

As for Jeanne, she had almost never exposed her identity, so she only made small changes with Body Clay.

The old boatman couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yun and Jeanne sitting beside Zhou Yun.

Neither of them had obvious signs of mutation; why would they want to go from the Lower Hive to the Undercity?

Seeming to notice the old boatman's gaze, Zhou Yun coughed twice and said:

"My little sister has two eyes and a pair of fish gills under her belly."

"And two mouths in the palms of her hands."

As he spoke, Zhou Yun poked Jeanne beside him with his elbow.

Jeanne blushed and nodded in shame.

She raised her hands, revealing the two mouths made of Body Clay in the palms of her hands.

Good guy, two eyes and a pair of fish gills on her belly, and two mouths on her palms...

This was considered abstract even among the pile of mutants in the Undercity.

The old boatman looked quite shocked and couldn't help but look at Zhou Yun again.

He seemed curious about what kind of mutation Zhou Yun had.

Zhou Yun smiled mysteriously, held up two fingers and said: "I have two roots."

The old boatman's eyes were first confused, then revealed an expression that only men understood.

He gave Zhou Yun a thumbs up: "This belongs to a benign mutation."

"Old man, tell us about things after entering the Undercity."

Zhou Yun leaned on the boat and looked at the old boatman in front of him and said.

"The Undercity is not as good as the Lower Hive; it's more chaotic and disorderly there, and except for a few gathering points, it's all dangerous."

The old boatman shook his head and said:

"The Undercity is actually a little better than it was a few years ago."

"Mainly because two teams of people have almost leveled the entire Undercity."

"One side is the Filthy Blood Group composed of cultists and mutants, and the other side is a cult that believes in the Four-Armed Hua Hua Hua Di Huang."

Four-Armed Hua Hua Hua Di Huang...

Zhou Yun and Jeanne looked at each other.

It seems that in the Undercity, the Genestealers don't even pretend anymore and directly start spreading pollution openly...

But it is estimated that what is exposed on the surface is only the outermost force of the Genestealers.

Those who are more seriously mutated and closer to the core of the aliens are probably still hidden deep in the Undercity.

As for the Filthy Blood Group, it sounds a bit like something Morg and Margit made... I don't know if it's the two brothers.

If it is, it will be much more convenient.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yun put on this face again, to facilitate meeting up with the two Morg brothers.

"The first gathering point after entering the Undercity is where the group of people who believe in the Four-Armed Hua Hua Hua Di Huang gather."

Well, the first one is the Genestealers' territory.

"That group of people is actually quite good; the gathering point they manage can almost catch up to the Lower Hive."

The old boatman grinned and said:

"The people there speak well, and the people are also very good; if you want to settle down, you can live there."

"But forget about believing in their cult; why would mutants still believe in the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang?"

As he spoke, the old boatman poled the boat, turned the bow, and stopped beside a broken fence.

This was a blocked broken fence, but the seven iron pillars as thick as wrists had all been cut off by some sharp weapon, revealing the road leading to the rear.

Zhou Yun took Jeanne off the boat, nodded to the old boatman, passed through the broken fence, and drilled into the passage leading to the Undercity.

Good guy, where did this bring me?

Is this still the Undercity?

Zhou Yun looked at the gathering point in front of him with some numbness.

This gathering point was built in the abandoned pipe system deep in the Hive.

Dense lines hung in the air between the abandoned pipes, and light bulbs emitting yellow-white light hung on them, illuminating the orderly streets below.

The Hive authorities had long since cut off the power to the Undercity; these glowing light bulbs proved that the residents here could even generate electricity independently.

Houses built with scrap iron and synthetic wood relied on the pipes to be built, and some even directly transformed large pipes into residences.

These houses seemed to have undergone strict planning, all neatly arranged on both sides of the road, revealing a road that was not very spacious.

On the houses on both sides of the road, holy icons were neatly hung.

That was the holy icon of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, drawn on coarse yellow fiber paper with some kind of filthy purple pigment that looked somewhat dirty.

But what made people's scalps numb was that

the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang on it actually had four slender and strong arms, spreading out on both sides of the body like spider limbs, as if to embrace something.

If it weren't for the limitations of the surrounding environment, this gathering point looked even more orderly than the Lower Hive.

What made people feel even more strange was that

the residents here all had smiles from the bottom of their hearts on their faces, and their eyes seemed to reveal almost infinite vitality.

At a glance, they seemed even happier and more satisfied than the residents of the Upper Hive.

Zhou Yun and Jeanne hadn't been in this gathering point for long before they saw the residents here working almost tirelessly.

Poverty, chaos, pain, and darkness were almost synonymous with the Undercity.

But after entering the Undercity, the first gathering point Zhou Yun saw was full of order, happiness, and diligence.

Zhou Yun looked around cautiously.

After the surrounding residents saw Zhou Yun and Jeanne, they just cast almost the same gentle smiles,

as if they were welcoming Zhou Yun and Jeanne.

It was just that being looked at by so many people with almost the same expression made people feel numb in their hearts.

Zhou Yun put on the Superman Gloves calmly.

Suddenly, a thin woman wearing a purple robe with a gentle smile came up and blocked Zhou Yun and Jeanne.

The woman bowed slightly to the two, trying to make herself look kind.

"Two friends, can I take a few minutes of your time?"

"Please allow me to introduce our Heavenly Father and Savior, the merciful Four-Armed God-Hua Hua Hua Di Huang."

... Stuck on the plot, uncomfortable.
