Chapter 65 Waterway
Xiao Zhen took inventory of his current assets and found that he had lost a total of 802 mosquito detectors.
"Someone is stealing my probe," he announced to his companions.
Mr. Cat said: "Excuse me for reminding you that a lot of the losses were caused by Aunt Li and your mother."
The chicken added, "And the cat."
"I have ruled out these factors. It must be some bastard who is stealing my probes on a large scale. Now I have confirmed the scope of the theft." Xiao Zhen drew a circle on the city's groundwater system map, "It's this area."
"Are you trying to say that there are people hiding in this place specifically to steal your probe?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhen stared at Mr. Cat for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to Captain Madara.
The chicken said, "Why are you staring at me?"
Xiao Zhen lifted Captain Madara up and spun him on the spot: "Captain Madara, now is your moment to step onto the stage of history!!"
"You said the same thing about a box last time!"
"Dear Captain, it's finally your time to shine!"
"Wait, you want me to go into the sewer to look for your mosquitoes?? Why not let the cat go?"
"How can I let the Supervisor's Eye do such a thing?"
"Grass."
Xiao Cheng said sincerely, "You are better than both of us in body modification. You are small, which is just right for drilling into the sewers. Naturally, the important task of entering the sewer pipes can only be entrusted to you."
“…”
"Think about it. Once Popo is found, he can settle our debt! He might even give us a reward. After all, he is a rich man!"
"Why do I feel that every time you have this thought, we will lose more..."
“Think about our money!”
Under Xiaozhen's unconvincing persuasion and the completely unreliable temptation of money, Captain Madara reluctantly agreed.
The area marked by Xiao Zhen was located in a large commercial center on the downtown commercial street. That day, Xiao Zhen brought them to a sewer opening behind the commercial center and said, "This is it."
"Please come in, warrior." Mr. Cat lifted the manhole cover with his claws. A foul smell of water came to Captain Ban's nose. He felt like the cat was laughing.
"When Pu Pu is found, I will take 70% of his reward." The chicken said viciously and jumped into the sewer.
It hates sewers.
Who likes sewers?
There was nothing but damn mud, dirty sewage, and a sickening stench of corruption.
This reminded it of Northum, the planet that never sees the sun.
That was its former hometown.
Corruption, decay, and a thick, choking fog still seem to float in its stored information library, and are even engraved in its genes. It doesn't like that place. But that was its former home.
A mosquito-seeking plane buzzed as it flew ahead of it.
Captain Spot could feel that its host wanted to peck at it, and it didn't taste good, it said so to its chicken host.
The chicken host said: But it is a bug, it can be eaten.
Captain Ban said: No, you can't eat this. You will die if you eat it.
This sentence has always been very effective on its host. The chicken host remained silent with grievance.
Captain Madara likes his host because he is very simple. Like most small animals, his host spends 80% of his time thinking about food and the remaining 20% thinking about his territory. Even if you explain to him that this is a search machine that looks like a mosquito, he still can't understand it. Threatening his life is the most effective way to convince him.
In fact, its chicken host doesn't really understand what death means.
After all, its host is just a simple little rooster, and it hasn't even developed the consciousness of courtship.
Originally, its fate was to be picked up and slaughtered one day to be made into a braised chicken or boiled chicken. Oh, it didn't understand what braised chicken was. The difference between its fate and that of other chickens was that it met Captain Spotted.
To it, Captain Madara was probably just an incomprehensible consciousness split from itself.
It's too wet. The chicken host began to complain.
It's too wet.
It's too wet.
I want to go home. I want to eat corn.
It's too wet.
Do you think I really want to come here? Captain Ban thought to himself, if it weren't for being forced by his companions, if it weren't for that damned Popo, he wouldn't even want to enter such a place.
Who is stealing Xiao Zhen's probe? This degraded probe will be scrapped after a few months of use. Even if it is stolen, it is of no use.
Well, that's also the meaning of it going into the sewer to explore.
To be honest, the sewers really stink.
And it's very dark.
The sound of dripping water echoed in the dark waterway. In the chicken's original vision, everything was dark. Captain Madara improved the chicken's eyesight, so that even in this dark underground, it could clearly see the scratches on the inner wall of the waterway ten meters away. But this obviously brought negative effects to the chicken host, and it seemed to be overly stressed by all the wet things around it. Captain Madara had to use his consciousness to comfort it.
The mosquito seeker swayed and flew in front of it and turned into the bend.
…
…
【Warning】 【Warning】
【Under attack】 【Under attack】
The alarm on Captain Madara indicated that the search plane was under attack.
I want to see what thief got me into this stinking sewer.
When Captain Madara rushed to the scene, the mosquito detector was executing a divine punishment on a little mouse. The sizzling electric shock made the little mouse wail continuously, and the mouse squeaked and ran away.
Captain Madara watched the rat run away with regret. It was obviously impossible for the rat to cause nearly 800 search planes to disappear. This was just one of the accidents that search planes encountered in daily life.
The patrols after that were ordinary, until a sudden flood of sewage soaked Captain Madara's feathers. Its host was crying and screaming in his mind, and it could hardly control the host's crazy scratching.
It rose and fell in the foul water, struggling to float to the surface, and used a little consciousness to calm its host down. When the sudden flood passed, it barely stood firm in the pipe, covered in foul-smelling mud, and was truly a drowned chicken .
The damned seeker was gone.
Captain Madara cursed under his breath, looked at the locator, and followed quickly.
Then it witnessed a strange sight.
A group of creatures, about four in number, about 8cm tall, with bulging eyes, slender limbs, and wearing hard armor, were dragging the mosquito probe.
That's right, the mosquito-seeking aircraft was knocked to the ground, emitting green smoke, and was wrapped in a net and dragged forward.
"What are you doing?" Captain Madara asked.
The four little creatures screamed loudly, stimulating the fragile nerves of the chicken host. At the moment when the chicken was stunned, the four little creatures dragged the mosquito search machine and ran away frantically. Captain Ban chased after them, and then a , and the four little creatures rushed in with the search machine. The door closed in an instant, all the gaps disappeared, and the inner wall was smooth and seamless, as if there had never been a door.
Captain Ban rushed to the place where the four small creatures disappeared, flapped his wings and hit the inner wall fiercely.
"Open! Open!" it roared.
There was no response.
"Open! Open!" This time it switched to Galactic Common, then to Shilling, then to Katsa, and finally to Galactic Common again.
Then Captain Madara began to threaten the group of thieves in the common language of the galaxy, accusing them of their shameful behavior. If they did not open the door, explain and return the things within 5 minutes, he would use force to blow up this section of the pipe, including the four thieves. He would peck them to pieces like insects and swallow them.
The inner wall of the waterway was covered with ripples like water waves. The liquefied metal condensed into a head statue with bulging eyes, just like the little creature just now. The statue said: "Disrespectful..."
The statue stared at it for a long moment, then said, "Chicken? Why is there a chicken here?"
"What happened to the chicken? What happened to the chicken?!"
