The journey begins with Conan

Chapter 208: Bloody Battle Underground

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The weather is calm and sunny.

Caesar lifted the manhole cover by grabbing the edge, then looked down at the sewer from which the sour smell wafted, his face expressionless.

"very good."

He turned on the mining lamp tied to his head, letting the orange beam of light penetrate the obscure haze.

"It seems that the other party does not intend to kill me before entering the sewer."

Caesar stood up with a smile, checked his equipment one last time, and picked up the machine gun behind him.

Then he looked back at Kim and George and nodded the headsets in his ears.

"According to the map, go down from here and walk east for 1300 meters. There will be a 7-shaped terrain with a dead end at the front. I will lure them first, and you can come down after I hear the signal."

"Understood." George nodded.

He looked at Caesar seriously: "Be careful!"

Caesar laughed.

Jump into the well neatly.

……

The darkness instantly swallowed up the light.

The incomplete image was only reflected in the light beam overhead.

Wow~

The sound of dense water flow echoed from the hollow underground!

Ugly gray cheeks emerged from the dirty water!
Caesar was not in a hurry. He rolled over to relieve the force and put force on his feet, then rushed forward along the predetermined route.

The monsters twitched their tentacles and chased after them with sticky footsteps.

Surrounded by shadows!

Caesar narrowed his eyes, took out a specially prepared keypad phone from his arms, and blindly dialed the long string of numbers based on his muscle memory.

boom!
The whistling air flow cut through the palm like a knife!
The tiny parts splashed all over the ground!
【coming! 】

Caesar took a deep breath, threw away the broken phone in his hand, and quickly turned his head towards the direction where the gunshots came from.

——Sure enough, among the seven or eight monsters, stood the man in the black robe.

Caesar looked back.

A thick whip shadow was swinging towards his head!
His pupils shrank and he fell forward to the ground!

The wet tentacles rubbed against my scalp.

Caesar supported himself with his left hand and quickly jumped up, then he held the machine gun tightly with his right hand and calmly pulled the trigger.

The sound of clattering became one and the same.

Dense bullets weaved into lines and nets, carrying gunpowder and deeply embedded into the body of the octopus that was blocking the way.

Blood is splattered!
Several broken tentacles rolled and twitched on the floor!

The fishy smell in the tunnel became stronger and stronger.

Kaiser narrowed his eyes, pulled a second phone from his pocket and dialed the number.

But the difference is that this time he completely covered the phone in his palm.

boom!
The second gunshot behind me!
Caesar felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand!

The bulletproof gloves woven with Kevlar fiber blocked the penetrating wound from the bullet, but the powerful impact still made my palms numb and trembling uncontrollably.

Caesar gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

But the next second!
boom!
The third bullet!
Caesar could even smell the burning smell coming from the bulletproof gloves.

The fastened phone finally fell to the ground.

[Preventing the call from being broadcast has a higher priority than "don't kill me."]

Caesar's thoughts turned, and he gave up the idea of ​​using his body to cover the phone call.

He tried his best to catch the human footsteps in the noisy roars behind him, and took out a mobile phone every half a minute to keep the man in black robe hanging behind him.

Amid the rhythmic gunfire, Caesar suddenly felt that the opponent seemed a little too rigid.

Compared to intelligent life, his behavior is more like a set of program software with pre-written commands-it only appears when making a call. Even if it is an obvious trap, he will continue to chase.

…But now is not the time to think about these things.

at last!

Running at full speed, Caesar turned the dark corner in front of him.

Thanks to his body being beaten by wind and rain at sea, he was still able to maintain a steady breathing. He said calmly into the headset, "Okay, come down."

Soon, Caesar stopped.

In front of him was a blocked wall. A huge pipe was embedded in the stone, but the opening was tightly sealed with an iron cover. The gap was covered with dense rust.

The monsters hanging behind him pounced on him!
The ferocious breath on the gray face opened and closed, and amidst an unintelligible cry, the tentacles whipped the air and made it whistle!

Caesar calmly loaded the magazine, pulled the trigger, and released it to aim again before the recoil got out of control, using the impact of the bullet to the greatest extent possible to keep the octopuses outside the safety line.

The sparks from the muzzle never stopped.

The orange-yellow bullet casings clanged on the ground.

Caesar listened to the noise in the headset, then looked at the pile of octopuses in front of him who could not find their black robes. He freed his hand and took out another mobile phone from his pocket.

boom!
No surprise at all!

The other party appeared accurately as usual and knocked the phone down with a pistol in the dark.

But enough is enough!
Two more loud gunshots came from behind the other party, forcing the man in black into the dead end where Caesar was.

"It really looks more like a program."

Caesar flicked his wrist, pulled out the empty magazine, and took out another fully loaded one and inserted it into the gun slot.

He smiled and said, "But never mind, I'll catch you first!"

As he spoke, George quickly walked around the corner and together with Caesar blocked the man in black robes in the middle.

"Where's Kim?" Caesar asked when he saw he was alone.

"We're blocking the monsters in the back." George raised his gun. "Those things are still crawling out of the sewage."

As if in response to his words, a series of gunshots were heard from behind the corner.

Caesar shrugged and raised his gun as well.

next moment!
The tiny metal weaves a elegy for the mournful soul!

The flat ground was instantly filled with potholes!
In order to capture the man in black alive, and also to avoid hitting the other party with their bullets...the two men followed their previous agreement and shot diagonally downwards at the position of the man in black's legs!

Screams and blood filled the dull space!
But none of this has anything to do with the black robe!

Those ferocious monsters were actually like octopuses, with their soft bodies wrapped around the black robes in circles, blocking all the continuous bullets!

The dazzling golden light overwhelms the beam of the mining lamp!
Under the simple mask, a pair of gilded pupils are revealed!

——Hybrid!
Caesar looked startled, but not too surprised.

Before the action began, he had already made the necessary preparations!

Caesar released the trigger and changed the continuous fire to single shots, staggering the rhythm with George to ensure that there was at least one person providing suppressive fire at every moment.

correct!
Even the hybrids will suffer in vain under these tools that were created only for killing!
The man in black robe turned around, looked at the intersection blocked by George, and took a step forward with the "octopus shield" wrapped around him.

He wants to leave!
But Caesar sneered.

He took out another phone from his pocket - for today's operation, he hid 20 mobile phones on his body!
as predicted!

Just like north and south magnets attract each other.

The man in black robe turned around instantly and threw the phone that Caesar was holding away!

"George!"

Caesar didn't care and he roared loudly.

George understood immediately and sprinted to hide himself behind the corner.

Caesar raised the sinking muzzle of his gun instantly, and continuous bullets tore towards the opponent's torso!
but……

No hit!

Do not!
It was the man in black robe who dodged!
At the moment Caesar took action.

Or before!
Caesar saw his opponent being pulled sideways, and put one hand on the gun to resist the recoil and move the muzzle in the same direction.

……

Still no hit! The bullet drew a wavy trajectory in the narrow tube, but the opponent always managed to predict in advance and put himself under the crest of the wave.

He would use the octopus wrapped around his body to block ricochets and bullets that he couldn't dodge.

Caesar had run out of bullets.

George quickly turned around and responded, suppressing the black robe in place with the line of fire again.

Caesar squatted in the corner of the wall, using his bulletproof vest to block occasional ricochets and quickly replaced the magazine.

Although the opponent was unexpectedly slippery, he was not in a hurry.

Because those entangled octopuses are not permanently effective - the cold bullets are tearing their flesh into large pieces.

As long as they hold on a little longer, they will still be the final winners.

But at this time...

Caesar suddenly thought of a question - what is the other party's word spirit?
If the opponent's exaggerated evasion ability is the effect of his Word Spirit, then this Word Spirit sequence would be...

"Caesar!"

George's roar interrupted his thoughts.

Caesar came back to his senses instantly, realizing that the opponent needed to reload, and stood up to continue the rhythm of suppression.

One minute……

Two minutes...

As the two people cooperated more and more tacitly, the octopus on each other's body finally slid to the ground like mud.

Caesar's pupils lit up instantly.

A surge of strength surged from his wrist, which was numb from the shock. He steadied the machine gun and fired bullets at the opponent's lower body.

The man in black robe continued to dodge quickly.

But without his shield, he could no longer remain unscathed by the continuous barrage of bullets!
The sound of gunshots covered up the sound of flesh being pierced, but Caesar still accurately captured the blood that oozes out of the clothes.

But just when he was feeling a little excited...

Suddenly, he felt a dull numb pain in his heart!
Caesar staggered back a step, raised his head and his pupils shrank sharply.

I saw the man in black robe raising his gun and a wisp of smoke drifting towards his head.

——He actually hit Caesar's heart accurately while moving!
boom!
boom!
The second time!
The third time!
After being injured, the black robe lifted the ban like a machine, no longer caring about Caesar's life!
Three bullets hit his chest in succession, and Caesar could even hear the sound of his ribs cracking.

Even though the bullet was blocked by the bulletproof vest under his coat, the powerful kinetic energy still made his steps unsteady, and a moment of loss of strength caused the muzzle of the gun, with the trigger still pulled, to float above his head.

boom!
Another bullet!
Caesar groaned, and a strong taste of blood surged in his throat.

He fell to the ground with the momentum and quickly pulled out a cell phone from the hem of his clothes.

boom!
The man in black robe strode closer and continued shooting!
But this time the target is not Caesar!

Half of the back cover of the phone flew in the air, and Caesar took advantage of the gap between the shots to steady himself.

[Sure enough, no matter what time it is, destroying the phone first is his first goal. ]

The thought flashed through my mind.

Caesar stared at the Glock 17 pistol in the opponent's hand. While suppressing him with machine gun fire, he took out the phones he was carrying one by one.

Two more gunshots!

There was a sound of idling from the gun in the black-robed man's hand - its bullets were finally exhausted!
Caesar didn't give him time to reload, and the burst-firing machine gun sprayed fire snakes again!

Blood splattered on the black-robed man's body, but there was still no fatal injury!
Click~
Caesar's expression froze!
——His bullets are also empty!

"George!"

Caesar shouted as he retreated.

George, who heard the signal, still came out to take over as quickly as possible.

But he was suddenly shocked when he saw the current situation.

The muzzle of the gun moved back and forth, but the trigger could not be pulled!

——Too close!

The distance between the two is too close!
If he shoots now, Caesar will also be shot into a sieve!
Caesar was also aware of this problem.

He threw away the machine gun, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and fired repeatedly at the man in black robe who was close to him!
Clang——!
The sound of metal colliding was heard in the air.

Silvery white dancing.

The man in black robe pulled out a long knife from under his loose clothes, and used the blade to deflect all the bullets as he swung it!

Caesar roared, and also pulled out the long sword from his waist, clasped his hands and chopped it down diagonally!

The wind is howling!

The black-robed man's pupils were still dead silent, like a piece of cold ice without any temperature.

He blocked with his sword, holding back Caesar's blow.

Simultaneously.

The wrist holding the gun shook outward!
The empty magazine was thrown aside.

Caesar knew something was wrong!

He took a step forward to close the distance and stuck himself firmly in the center line of the black robe, trying to use his body to prevent the other party from changing bullets with one hand.

But the gap in physical fitness between hybrids and humans was vividly revealed at this moment!

Caesar was pushed aside!
Even though he had the advantage of being on top and having both hands, his knife was still blocked by the opponent!

The knife-like light cut through the pupil!

As Caesar's center door opened wide, the man in black robe swept across his chest with a knife!

The bulletproof fabric resisted the blade, saving his life once again.

But the huge force made Caesar feel as if he was being knocked away by a rhinoceros!
The back hit the steel cover with a rumbling sound.

Caesar couldn't help but open his mouth, and blood and coughing stained the stone slab red.

But he had no time to adjust and turned suddenly to the side!
The tip of the knife slid into the steel along his cheek!

Caesar moved sideways and touched the back of the man in black robe with his outstretched arm!
But the other party pulled out his knife in time to block it.

……

boom!
Gunshots were fired.

George also drew his pistol, took careful aim and provided support with bursts of fire.

But it still failed!
Even though the man in black robe had his back to him, he seemed to know everything that was happening!
Caesar gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his chest, and took this opportunity to create a gap, standing opposite the man in black robe at both ends of the passage.

George saw the two men shooting separately.

But the man in black robe just turned sideways to the muzzle of the gun and swung his long sword to block all the bullets.

[This ability...]

The more Caesar watched the other man's movements, the more he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

A ridiculous thought came to my mind.

Click~
The black robe closed the magazine.

The crisp sound brought Caesar back to his senses instantly!
He wants to hide.

But his seriously injured body slowed down his progress.

The bright sparks ignited the sea blue in the pupils.

Bullets hit Caesar's chest one after another!
His throat rolled and he finally couldn't help but spit out the fragments of internal organs mixed with blood.

But Caesar's cold eyes were still fixed on the man in black robe.

Stare at the gun pointed at your head!

——Even though he was defeated here, Caesar did not regret it! As long as he pursued the truth, he would face the opponent one day!

"Shoot!"

Caesar said calmly.

Even death cannot extinguish a man's fiery fighting spirit!
It's so fierce.

Caesar was stunned.

——The man in black robe suddenly put away his gun and rushed to the other end!
……

Just behind the corner not far away.

George was holding a cell phone.

Dial the number!
