The final gentleman

The four of them walked into the city of Vinard,

Edmund briefly analyzed the upcoming ‘hunting plan’:

It was only two months after the False Moon Incident occurred. The surviving 'Moonizers' were growing on their own in the ruined city without a leader.

Unless someone like Mr. Li is a gentleman himself and takes a whole bottle of secret medicine, he is likely to become a severely ill person.

Other moonlighters transformed from ordinary citizens can only reach the sick level at most. I believe that most of the survivors are still in the early stages of infection and their consciousness is not yet complete.

The overall threat level of the urban ruins that has been swept away once by the organization should not be much higher than that of Green Lake Town.

Considering the time issue, we can slowly increase the hunting speed. Before the time limit is reached, obtain as many moon skins as possible to increase your chips.

While Edmund was giving action analysis, he also reached out and scratched the pinprick on his neck.

The skin around the pinhole has grown white hair similar to that of a mouse.

Yi Chen also pretended to scratch the pinhole, pretending to be uncomfortable.

He did not tell the team members that Little Grape had already sucked away the pathogenic agent against the arteries during the first injection.

The reason is simple, so that you can share the psychological pressure with Edmund.

After entering the city,

The four of them did not aimlessly search for the Moonizer, but went to an area with a definite purpose.

The destination is the area where I had a sense of 'peeping' when I was riding a carriage across the city yesterday... The source of the peeping is most likely the target of everyone's hunting.

but,

No one was exploring a suspicious building, ruins or sewer.

Instead, he deliberately chose conspicuous areas such as open roads, broken roofs of buildings, and intersections, and walked back and forth pretending to be conducting serious investigations.

It had just been ten minutes of wandering like this.

An eye held between his teeth suddenly opened, and Little Grape felt the sense of peeping again.

Took the bait~ To the southeast, there is Old-John Theater... There seems to be more than one. There are multiple grapes looking here at the same time.

When the team received this important information, they did not approach it directly.

Continue to pretend to investigate,

It was natural to turn into a side street that just blocked the theater.

Click!

Dagbert removed the manhole cover with the abbreviation [W.N] of the city of Werner printed on it.

When the four people fell into the sewer one after another, the scene below could be described as 'hell'.

A large number of mutilated, rotten and vermin-infested body parts,

Or floating in the foul-smelling canals,

Or piled in the aisle,

It can be seen that during the 'False Moon Incident', many citizens who were not affected by the moon change immediately chose to take refuge in the sewers... but the final outcome was still death.

Not walking far, everyone found fresh 'traces' in the sewers.

According to the blood stains and drag marks left on the ground,

and some traces of rummaging among the piles of corpses,

It is basically certain that something has been active in the sewer for a long time, and some good corpses are selected for food or other purposes.

Touching the nearest blood stain that had not yet dried up, Edmund's eyes lit up.

There's actually an unexpected gain... Let's deal with the guy in the sewer first, and then go to the theater.

Follow the bloody traces left by dragging,

Everyone is more or less nervous or excited about the ‘unknown’.

After all, this is the first time to face this kind of rare 'lunar disease', which is essentially different from the 'ichthyosis' in Green Lake Town.

Such rare diseases may give infected people unexpected abilities.

it's here……

Juliana in the team seemed to have a special tracking ability and quickly located a rusty iron gate.

Behind the door is a branch space connected to the sewer, which was once a residence for some urban homeless people.

When I peeked into the depths through the iron door, I could still vaguely see the faint light of fire, and I could almost conclude that something was hiding inside.

Pour the lubricating liquid you carry with you on the door shaft to ensure that there is no noise during the opening process.

Turn off the kerosene lamp,

The path along the side wall gradually deepens,

The firelight projected from the depths became brighter and brighter, and one could even hear the hoarse scream of some burning firewood.

At the same time, a huge monster shadow is projected onto the wall of the passage. It looks like a four-legged beast, munching on the corpse.

get ready!

When the four heavily armed people reached the deepest part, what they saw was not a monster.

Instead, he was a shirtless old man wrapped in rag trousers, with a skinny figure and silver hair falling around his waist.

He was sitting cross-legged in front of the bonfire he had built, grilling the body parts he had just collected.

There is a very conspicuous moon mark on the back of the neck.

There was a white Chihuahua sitting obediently next to the old man, enjoying the fragrant barbecue that the old man handed it.

If you put aside the source of the meat, this picture is quite heartwarming.

Oh... Are there any guests here? If you just pass by by chance and don't mind the environment and food here, you can come and sit, eat and chat.

If you came with a purpose, please wait a moment.

'Mi Li' She hasn't had such a good appetite for several days. Let her eat more before going on the road.

Yi Chen did not sense any hostility for the time being.

He motioned to his teammates to stay still and took the initiative to sit cross-legged next to the campfire.

Waiting for William to talk...he seems to have such experience.

Having had the experience of killing the enemy together last night, Captain Edmund acquiesced in this behavior.

certainly,

His right hand has already dropped to the pistol at his waist. As long as the old man shows any hostility or makes any suspicious movements, the bullet will be fired immediately.

in front of the bonfire,

Yi Chen noticed that the old man's face, which was full of signs of age, had a pair of silver eyes with the same color as his hair... Such a special eye structure made the little grape salivate.

When the old man handed over the food, Yi Chen took it calmly.

but,

He didn't eat it himself, but handed it to his 'pet' like the old man... Although the little grape eats eyeballs as his main food, he also happily accepts other meats and is not very picky about food.

Yi Chen looked into the old man's silver eyes and asked a question first:

Why don't you get out of here?

The sewer is my home. I have more food and a more comfortable environment than before. Why should I leave? Even if I leave, where can I go? Will I become someone else's food?

Yi Chen continued to ask questions: We also found some survivors 'similar' to you among the ruins of the city. Why do they still stay here?

You are talking about the group of guys gathered at the [Old John Theater].

Recently, more and more survivors have begun to gain sound consciousness, and everyone is invited to the theater for the so-called 'leader screening'.

They also invited me...but I'm not interested.

I guess after they elect the so-called 'leader', they will organize everyone to leave together. After all, if you want to find a new place to live, it will be more effective to do it together.

“Leader Screening.”

Quite important information,

If what the old man said is true,

Yi Chen and others didn't need to run around, because all the moonlighters had gathered in the theater.

Do you know how many people there are in the theater?

That's not clear... I'm a homeless man and don't care much about things above.

By the way, you should be special humans who came here specifically to clean up the survivors after the False Moon Incident, those of us who survived by chance, right?

That's right. Yi Chen did not deny it.

There should be more than just the four of you. Are there more humans up there waiting secretly to clean up the city?

When the old man said this,

Yi Chen glanced at his silver eyes keenly and responded with a smile:

That's right.

We are just a reconnaissance team at the forefront. Once we identify the survivors among the ruins of the city, we will immediately notify the large forces to come over and clean them up quickly.

Also, I want to criticize your poor acting skills.

At first, I deliberately revealed some information about the theater in order to lower my defensiveness.

Halfway through the conversation, I couldn’t help but tentatively ask if there were any other companions on the ground besides the four of us.

Try to distance yourself from the theater as much as possible, but just happen to set up your 'nest' on the sewer road that is close to the theater and must pass by.

They even deliberately let out a faint firelight and left bloodstains so that people passing by would notice.

Too deliberate, old sir~

If my guess is correct, you are a member of the theater and the [Watchdog] in charge of the sewers, right?

As soon as he finished speaking,

A silver bullet had already struck, shooting into the back of the old man's head.
