The Death Knell

Chapter 238 Digging a cellar

Monaco gradually calmed down, and the dry and cold underground space always helped restore calm.

But this dark and cold environment can also make people feel bitingly cold and lonely.

He turned around and wiped his face, walked over to Su Ming and said: "I just asked clearly. There are more than three thousand kobold tribes. They live deep underground in London. This time they go to the surface. Unexpected. Because there have been massive construction projects and blasting excavations above their heads in the past few days, they came up to find out. I have already sent them back underground, but I also promised to help them solve the problem of earthquake collapse."

"You did the right thing, Monaco. Since I'm here, I have to find traces of Namor. No matter what he is doing here, he can't be allowed to continue." Su Ming first acknowledged his contribution, and then thought for a moment. He added: "Their so-called excavation operation should be that someone is building an underground laboratory. Because London has been bombed by Germany, they can use the sound of bomb explosions to cover up. It is very clever."

Deadpool didn't listen to what Su Ming was saying. Instead, he looked at the two dead rabbits on the ground and touched his chin.

"And today the typhoon landed, and the German bombers and rockets were unable to perform their missions normally, so they also stopped working here, so the kobolds came up to see the situation." Monaco told the intelligence he had exchanged, Deathstroke's conjecture In line with the situation mentioned by the kobolds, this is the fact.

"Do they know who is digging?" Su Ming asked him. The mage's face was not particularly good, and he was just pretending to smile.

Monaco made a helpless expression and rubbed his face with his cane. He probably felt that the smile on his face was too fake: "I'm afraid the kobolds can't tell the difference between the British and the Germans. They only know that they are human beings and are building a Large underground buildings, strong earthquakes damaged their temple ceilings and injured their companions.”

Underground buildings are generally laboratories or air-raid shelters, but if the British military wanted to build air-raid shelters, there was no need to do it secretly through German bombing.

Then there is more than 80% chance that the gophers digging holes here are enemies. Coupled with the attitude of the mutants who were guarding the door just now, as if they were killing people and killing people, the possibility is almost 10%.

Su Ming had selectively forgotten Deadpool's mouth. If he hadn't rushed over with a knife and spouted curse words, he might not have had this attitude.

"Did they say where the building was?"

"Yes, follow me."

Monaco walked in the direction where the kobold left. Su Ming and others followed, but Deadpool secretly stuffed the bodies of the two rabbits into his pants pockets while no one was paying attention, and then played a ditty while looking left and right. .

The journey was very peaceful, and there were no other traces on the ground except the tiny footprints of the kobolds.

This made Su Ming begin to wonder if the underground facility had not started operating yet, but it was better this way. If Namor could be found without much effort, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.

This corridor connected several sewer lines in London. After passing here, they quickly encountered a turbulent water flow. Not far away, there was a large hole leading underground. It seemed that it should be the way home for the kobolds.

Su Ming thought for a while and asked Monaco to use magic to block the road, otherwise they would inevitably run out again, or some madman would run down it.

After paying the price of two rabbits again, Monaco completed the task, but his mood became extremely low, and a sense of grief as if the world had been destroyed lingered in his heart.

So much so that he didn't notice that Deadpool had put away the rabbit body again.

On the other side of the spillway, you can see lights leaking from the channel there in the distance. It's not very obvious, but Su Ming's helmet eyepiece has a photometer.

Maybe the kobolds also discovered the light over there, but they couldn't cross the river, so they chose a detour and happened to meet Su Ming and his party.

The current flood channel and the previous drainage channel were about ten meters wide. Deathstroke and Deadpool could undoubtedly jump over it if they took a run-up, and Monaghan could also fly over it, but Holloway could not do anything about it.

But Su Ming has the magic floating cloak and symbiote, so this is not a problem at all.

So except for the doctor who turned a little blue, all four of them reached the other side safely.

"Okay, Wade, it's time for you to play your role again. Act as planned." Su Ming pointed to the door in the distance and patted him on the shoulder.

Deadpool took out his two swords and complained: "If I had known that I was working in the sewer, I should have asked for a mood subsidy. Everything that happened here seemed quite dirty. I am a good person. I have never killed so many people in one day." So many mutants, I feel like my little heart is hurting."

"Injured? Is it an internal injury? Do you have heat stroke?" Su Ming took out the God Killer again and looked at the blade back and forth casually, as if checking whether it had become dull, as if he was going to sharpen it.

"Well, I don't know what you mean by 'heatstroke', but it feels like it's not a good word... I'm going."

Deadpool quickly ran towards the end of the tunnel. The ceiling here was very high. If it was correct, there should be a large enough underground space.

Such as a secret granary or an arsenal.

Digging more holes and accumulating grain is not only a famous saying of the Chinese dynasty, many countries have used similar tactics.

Hiding looted treasures or stored grain is a very familiar thing for pirate countries like Britain.

The top ten pirates in human history are Blackbeard, female pirate Annie, pirate prince Black Sam, Chinese female pirate Zheng Shishi, Bartholomew Roberts, Captain Kidd, Henry Morgan, Cotton Jack, Francis Drake and Sea Reading.

Except for Zheng Shishi and Hai Leiding, the other eight people are all British. Many of their treasures are still unknown on which island they are buried.

Not to mention London. There have been many mysterious things in history. Various nobles would dig cellars to store their wealth if they had money. But if they didn't have money, they would start working on the sewers.

They only need to cut off a section of the unimportant direct flow of the sewer and build a wall to use it as their own secret room. All kinds of mysterious people, politicians and murderers have been wandering here for hundreds of years.

The London Sewer was built in 1848, with a total length of 2,000 kilometers. The masonry structure embodies British aesthetic ideas everywhere.

The sewers in New York, USA, are made of reinforced concrete, but here in London they even use bricks to create arches and mosaics at intervals, which is known as one of the seven industrial wonders of the world.

You must know that no one will leave here, there is only sewage.

Hugo visited the Paris sewers, and in his book "Les Misérables" he said that it was a terrible big cellar. Compared with the London sewers, excluding the cellars, it was a big maze.

The upper and lower levels are divided into several levels, with more than a dozen lines intertwining everywhere. Without the help of magic or a map, you will definitely get lost when walking down.

Fortunately, it was a typhoon today, and the huge amount of precipitation turned into an underground torrent, which helped Su Ming eliminate many wrong options. After all, if you want to build a secret base underground, you must avoid the possibility of being flooded by sewage.

The conditions are met here, very dry.

Now let’s see who the opponent is...
