Geralt of Rivia: The White Wolf

Chapter 25 Water and Electricity Pipelines

Thanks!

After the mercenaries left, Matthew looked at Geralt and said solemnly.

Gerald nodded and said, "Go down quickly!"

Matthew nodded and promptly entered the sewer.

Alice followed closely behind, while Zheng Zha and the others weaved in and entered the sewers one after another.

When it was Zhu Peng's turn, he first called out to Zheng Zha, who was already below:

"Brother Zheng Zha, please call on me next time, I'm afraid I'll slip."

Before Zheng Zha could speak, Zhang Jie, who was standing next to him, laughed and scolded:

"Come down quickly, I'll catch you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng immediately stopped hesitating and awkwardly began to descend the ladder on the wall.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the opening in the steel gate widened, leaving only Janran and Geralt behind.

Geralt, seeing the steel gate on the verge of collapse, immediately ran towards it, shouting to Zhan Lan who was still on top:

"You should go down quickly too, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Geralt arrived at the steel gate. Through the opening in the gate, Geralt could clearly see the Licker's gaping maw dripping with slime.

Meanwhile, the Lickers outside the steel gates saw Geralt so close at hand, and the smell of living flesh suddenly became incredibly strong.

These Lickers had gone completely berserk, attacking the gate even more frequently.

Geralt swiftly placed his palm on the door, using a variant of the Aard sign—the freezing effect.

Magic gathered in Geralt's palm, and in an instant, icy blue frost spread outwards along the steel gate.

In the blink of an eye, the steel gate, along with the several Lickers behind it, was frozen solid.

The frozen gate now exuded a bone-chilling cold.

Geralt turned around and saw that Janan was still up there, and quickly said:

"Hurry up, the freeze won't last long."

Zhan Lan had initially thought the Lickers wouldn't be able to get in, but upon hearing this, she quickly got up and went down the ladder.

Geralt followed closely behind, going down the ladder as he did so, making sure to close the lid behind him.

The group waited below, and once they saw Geralt come down, they quickly continued on their way.

As Li Xiaoyi walked, he looked around and asked, noticing the shallow puddles on the ground:

"Wasn't this supposed to be a sewer?"

"I don't see much water here."

Zhang Jie chuckled and said:

"Kid, look up at the pipe above your head."

Li Xiaoyi looked up and saw a thick metal pipe above him, through which he could clearly hear the sound of water flowing.

Some of these pipe connections still drip water.

And that's how Li Xiaoyi saw the shallow puddles on the ground.

Zheng Zha knew that Li Xiaoyi was young and lacked common sense, so he explained to him:

"This is indeed a sewer, but the sewage flows through this pipe above."

"The passage we're walking through now is used to store these pipes."

"This type of building also facilitates later repairs and replacements."

Li Xiaoyi said embarrassedly:

"I thought of sewers as the kind of space where the entire area is used to discharge sewage."

At this moment, Kaplan looked at the computer and said:

"I've updated the map, and we're at our current location now."

After saying this, Kaplan looked at Li Xiaoyi and said:

"To be precise, this isn't just the sewer system, it's the entire Hive's water and electricity pipeline."

"Water, gas, and electrical wires all run through here."

Just then, they came to a fork in the road. As Ryan was about to turn left, Kaplan quickly said:

"Go to the right; the map shows that going to the right is the shortest route."

Rain glanced at Kaplan, then turned to the right.

After everyone had traveled some distance in the direction Kaplan had directed, Geralt suddenly spoke up:

"Everyone, stop!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Without the interference of footsteps, Geralt's ears could pick up sounds much more clearly.

Geralt listened intently for several tens of seconds, his nose twitching slightly, and affirmed:

"There should be those zombie monsters ahead; we need to turn back."

No one in the group questioned Geralt's words, because what they had experienced before had already proven Geralt's authority.

So everyone immediately turned around, but they hadn't gone far when they stopped with serious expressions.

The way back was blocked by a group of aimlessly wandering zombies.

The arrival of the group startled the zombies that were circling around in place.

These zombies, as if suddenly turned on full power, opened their mouths wide with great enthusiasm and bared their teeth and claws as they charged towards the group.

At that moment, a group of zombies approached from behind.

"Those plumbers, damn it!"

Matt looked at the work clothes on the zombies and cursed.

Rain even cursed at Kaplan:

"If I make it out alive, I'll definitely smash your balls!"

Rain is furious. Kaplan has messed up so many times since they entered the hive.

Matthew took a deep breath and said:

"Never mind that, get ready, fire!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone raised their guns and fired at the zombies behind them.

"Da da da!"

In an instant, bullets rained down on the zombies in front of them without reservation.

After the zombies fall, more zombies will surge forward, wave after wave.

"No, there are too many zombies."

"How did the zombies from the ground end up here?!"

Matt shouted as he fired the gun.

"The zombies behind us are coming up too."

Watch out behind you!

At this moment, Zhang Jie steadily held his Desert Eagle, picking off the zombies that pounced on him like a sharpshooter.

Zhu Peng, standing nearby, fired his gun while excitedly saying:

"This is so much fun! It's way more fun than games."

Due to Geralt's intervention, only Kaplan and Rain's mercenary squad, who should have died, were left alive.

It's still at full strength, so the firepower is fierce, and the terrain here in the sewers is narrow.

All everyone needs to do is take care of what's in front and behind them.

In an instant, the swarming zombies were actually suppressed.

"Holy crap, Zhang Jie, that's amazing!"

"And why don't you change the magazine?"

It turned out that Zhu Peng, who was next to Zhang Jie, suddenly noticed that when Zhang Jie fired, there was no recoil from the pistol, and his hand holding the gun remained completely still.

Zhu Peng was immediately awestruck.

After all, Zhu Peng had previously mocked Zhang Jie on the train, saying that only novices who didn't know anything about guns would choose the Desert Eagle.

Zhu Peng's voice was drowned out by the gunfire.

But Zhang Jie seemed to have heard it clearly. Even in this tense atmosphere, he still had the leisure to take out a cigarette and light it for himself.
