Chapter 107: Well

After running at full speed for ten minutes, Su Xiao stopped his footsteps.

There was dead silence behind him. The fact that the blood eye didn't chase was undoubtedly good news. However, the reinforcement team had gone from the initial twenty-seven people to only three remaining.

Su Xiao, Akira Mado, Juuzou Suzuya.

Su Xiao leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Beside him, Akira Mado slumped to the ground, occasionally spitting out a mouthful of acid water. This girl had run until she was exhausted.

"What~, what was that? Ghoul? Is there really such a terrifying ghoul in the world? Even the One-Eyed Owl would be swallowed in one gulp by it, right?"

Akira Mado's blonde hair was scattered, stuck to her face by sweat, her chest heaving violently, looking like she had been "he-he-he-ed."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Suzuya leaned against the wall with one hand, coughing incessantly, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

"Plop."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette and sat against the flesh wall.

"I finally understand why Arima that guy ran before."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. This feeling of being on the edge of life and death was too exciting. Just now, when the blood eye was swallowing people, he was nearly bitten off his head.

Akira Mado beside him was somewhat speechless. Was this how a normal person should react? Her gaze turned to Suzuya.

The corner of Suzuya's mouth that was curled up made Akira Mado somewhat doubt life. Was she abnormal, or were her two teammates abnormal?

After resting for a while, Su Xiao stood up and led Akira Mado and Suzuya to continue forward.

The reinforcement team sent by CCG headquarters had thirty people, but the actual combat power was only three: Su Xiao, Juuzou Suzuya, Iwao Kuroiwa.

Now Iwao Kuroiwa was dead, leaving only Su Xiao and Juuzou Suzuya.

Su Xiao had long guessed this level of mortality rate. The appearance of the blood eye just accelerated the speed of casualties.

The three moved forward for more than an hour and arrived at a dead end.

Su Xiao took out the micro-computer to check. Kisho Arima was already very close to him, at most a half-hour journey.

He had gone deep into the 24th Ward. Tokyo's range wasn't large, and now he was in the center of Tokyo's underground.

"Akira, can you still identify the route?"

Akira Mado was now acting as a living map. This girl had a super memory, and she almost remembered the route she had traveled by heart. Even without making marks in the tunnel, Akira Mado could judge whether they had been there before.

"It's probably this one, or maybe this one."

Akira Mado was biting a pen in her mouth, looking worried.

"You choose."

Su Xiao wouldn't lead the way again. The lesson from his last trip deep into the 24th Ward was still vivid in his mind.

"Then this one."

After Akira Mado chose the route, the three continued forward. Su Xiao soon discovered that this tunnel was getting narrower and narrower.

The tunnels in other locations of the 24th Ward were at least two meters wide and at least four meters high.

But this tunnel he was in was only one meter wide and two meters high, pitch black ahead, and he had to use a high-intensity flashlight to illuminate it.

If it were a timid person, they would absolutely not dare to enter this kind of tunnel dozens of meters deep underground.

Su Xiao and Suzuya were both very calm, while Akira Mado in the middle was somewhat nervous.

After moving forward for dozens of meters, a light source vaguely appeared ahead. The light source wasn't strong, not like sunlight, but like lamp light.

Su Xiao walked to the end of the tunnel, and the scene that met his eyes made his pupils shrink.

"Quasi-Special Bai Ye, what is ahead? Are you kidding me!"

Akira Mado poked her head over, and after seeing everything in front of her, her expression became sluggish.

"I finally understand why there are so many ghouls in the 24th Ward. This is an underground city of ghouls," Akira Mado murmured.

What met Su Xiao's eyes was a large piece of city.

A piece of soil layer underground had been hollowed out, forming a large city.

The buildings in the city were somewhat dilapidated, most of them metal structures, standing unevenly in the underground space.

Su Xiao's location was one of the entrances to the underground city. Looking down, he was more than ten meters above the ground of the city.

There were dozens of entrances to the city, just like digging dozens of holes in an iron plate and standing this iron plate in front of the underground city.

"This place is too shocking. With such a place existing, ghouls can't be killed off at all."

Just as Akira Mado was looking at the underground city, Su Xiao pulled her back into the tunnel and made a gesture to be quiet.

Looking closely at the buildings in the underground city, one could see primitive ghouls shuttling between the buildings. Not only primitive ghouls, but also eyeless ghouls.

The two types of ghouls were like guards, wandering in the underground city.

Precisely because of this, the ordinary ghouls of the 24th Ward were fleeing outward desperately, and they had no intention of fighting. They were refugees whose homes had been occupied.

In the underground city, one could faintly see the corpses of ordinary ghouls, mostly old people and children, with few in their prime.

Ghouls also had feelings. If most of the casualties were old and young, it meant the primitive ghouls' offensive must have been very sudden.

The clouds of the 24th Ward were gradually being cleared away. The intelligence Su Xiao now understood was:

Primitive ghouls and ordinary ghouls were in a hostile relationship, or rather, primitive ghouls had no reason and would attack everything except their own kind.

Those eyeless ghouls and primitive ghouls should have come from the same source. There was no tendency for the two sides to attack each other, and Su Xiao even saw both of them gnawing on a corpse at the same time.

The mindless "beasts" could share food, which showed that the relationship between the two was unusual.

"What's that over there?"

Akira Mado pointed to the top of a steel building, where a figure was lying.

Su Xiao looked closely: white hair, somewhat messy white combat uniform, a Quinque box covered in blood, Kisho Arima!

After going deep into the 24th Ward for several hours, and after the reinforcement team was almost wiped out, Su Xiao found the target he was reinforcing.

Now Kisho Arima's situation wasn't very good. Although no obvious injuries could be seen, he was trapped on the roof.

Su Xiao took out a wrench from his storage space. This was obtained by opening the Queen's Scarlet Card.

Sinking his waist and striding, he threw the wrench far away.

"Clang."

The wrench hit a metal building in the distance, and some primitive ghouls and eyeless ghouls were startled, running rapidly toward the source of the sound.

Kisho Arima, who was lying on the roof, lifted his head and looked toward the direction of the sound.

Immediately, Kisho Arima turned his head and looked toward Su Xiao's location.

Beasts would only care about the direction from which the sound came, while humans would subconsciously look for what triggered the sound.

Their eyes met, and Su Xiao made a gesture, signaling Kisho Arima to come near the tunnel.

Kisho Arima shook his head, pointed to the center of the underground city, and then pointed to Su Xiao.

"What does Special Class Arima mean?"

Akira Mado didn't understand Kisho Arima's meaning, but Su Xiao understood Kisho Arima's meaning. After all, the two had lived and died together, and there was some tacit understanding.

"You two wait here. If there is danger, escape first."

After finishing, Su Xiao climbed out of the tunnel, climbing down with the help of those dozens of entrance holes.

His movements were very light, without making the slightest sound, and he soon arrived below, jumping onto the roof of a steel building.

Su Xiao lay on the roof, and there were a few primitive ghouls nearby.

He jumped on the roofs of the steel buildings like a nimble monkey, silently.

Nearly ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the roof where Kisho Arima was.

"Give me some food and fresh water. I'm about to dehydrate."

After Su Xiao took out the food and fresh water, Kisho Arima ate the food in a few mouthfuls and drank a whole bottle of water gulp by gulp.

"What's the situation now?"

Kisho Arima looked around at the situation and said in a low voice.

"Now we need to lure these 'primitive species' to the center of the city, then get them into the 'well,' and seal the 'well' mouth."

"Well?"

Su Xiao looked at Kisho Arima in astonishment. What the hell was this "well"? ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
