The streets of the well-built residential area were fairly clean, and everywhere Gu Wu passed on the way, he could see shops that had closed due to several 'protozoan attacks', and those residents walking briskly on the road had worried expressions, for fear that it would be their turn next.
Sirens sounded in the distance, and the restless air gradually spread the uneasiness, and the gun-wielding soldiers began to patrol everywhere, which completely made the otherwise relaxed air completely solemn.
Gu Wu, who was closely following behind Rentaro and Yeonzhu, did not forget to look around as he advanced, maybe the suspicious man in the surveillance camera was nearby.
However, Gu Wu obviously didn't have that kind of good luck, and the other party was not stupid enough to continue to stay in this kind of position that would be discovered, so he must be planning other actions at this moment.
"Go to the left, and the area on the right has to be a big detour."
Rentaro in front reminded him that he was mainly so that Gu Wu in the rear would not be lost.
Yanzhu, who was on the side, also looked at Gu Wu and said loudly "Follow us!!"
Gu Wu, who didn't mind, nodded, and then the road ahead began to become narrow.
Just now I was walking on the main road, but now I am walking through the alleys and analyses formed by various buildings, so it makes people feel that it has narrowed a lot.
In fact, Gu Wu didn't care about this, the scenery in his field of vision began to change with the passage of time.
Intact new houses are beginning to be replaced by dilapidated buildings, and telephone poles lying across the ground, rusty vending machines, and overgrown stations are all evidence of the abandonment of the site.
Just like the 'setting' of the outer periphery, this is a border-like area that borders the megalithic monument, and the abandoned capital that was not rebuilt after the Primitive Wars was used to build polluting factories.
In the distance, you can see the smoke and dust of the factories in the area near the sea, and the modern facilities are completely out of harmony with the ruined area.
Bypassing a collapsed building, Rentaro, who passed through the gaps in the building, slowed down, and followed Gu Wu, who had stopped, to look at the nearby environment again.
The dilapidated landscape is the tone of the place, and even the wanderers don't want to survive here, and the only people who live here are the cursed children.
"Let's do something......"
Gu Wu said this, for him, this is part of the side plot, a step to earn achievement points outside of the main story, but in addition to these, Gu Wu also wants to try to lend a hand.
After all, it's something that can be done incidentally, without wasting time or energy.
Although Gu Wu does not agree with the statement that 'the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility', which is similar to 'moral kidnapping', there is nothing wrong with easily solving the troubles that can be easily solved.
"If I don't keep up, I'm going to leave you behind!"
Gu Wu, who was called over by Yanzhu, re-accelerated his speed and paralleled the two of them, and then quickly arrived at his destination.
However, the destination here is neither a house nor a hall, but a central location on the road that stretches along the ruined area behind a pile of ruins.
Rentaro, who was squatting down, knocked on the manhole cover of the sewer, and Gu Wu frowned and looked up at the sky before hearing the response.
It is estimated that it will rain soon......
The blue sky, which had been called clear, had gradually darkened, and the air had begun to become damp, and the smell of dust would rush into the nostrils from time to time.
"How's it going?"
After Gu Wu finished asking, after a while, about thirty seconds, a little girl pushed open the iron manhole cover and asked with a little confusion "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you something, and I hope you can tell me if you know."
"Ask questions?"
"Yes."
Crackling!
A thunderclap sounded overhead, and the lightning that streaked across the sky illuminated the thick clouds that had already accumulated, and the sky that was gradually painted with inky black paint finally released the accumulated pressure.
The humid air was replaced by heavy rain, and the already noisy city stepped into a more noisy world, obscuring the vision of the rain that obscured the vista and only saw everything so clearly.
The little girl, frightened by the heavy rain, almost hid back, but the sound below made her make a new decision.
"The teacher said let you come in first, it's not convenient to talk now that it's raining heavily outside, right?"
Rentaro and Yanzhu looked at each other, and then he climbed down after the little girl lifted the iron cover of the sewer, and Yanzhu and Gu Wu naturally followed.
Gu Wu, who finally entered the sewer, was responsible for covering the manhole cover, which also made the rain outside much quieter, but it was still not quiet.
In the blink of an eye, in front of this dimly lit abandoned sewer, the space that was pulled and lit was the hiding place of everyone.
Gu Wu, who walked over, saw boxes piled up everywhere, light quilts and old furniture, and the old man with a candle greeted the three of them.
"I remember the two of you, but I don't know about the young people over there."
"Don't worry about me."
Gu Wu wiped the rain from his face with his hand, and motioned to Rentaro to speed up and ask if they knew the relevant information.
Rentaro, who was also wet for a long time, just wanted to speak, and the old man who was taking care of the cursed child in the outer periphery, that is, Mr.
Matsuzaki, took out a few dry towels.
"Dry your hair, it's not good to have a cold."

"Thank you."
Rentaro thanked him and handed out the towels to Yanzhu and Gu Wu.
At this time, Gu Wu was caught by a little girl with short hair, and he asked curiously "Is Big Brother from the city?"
"Yes."
"There's something in the book over there?"
The little girl took out the picture book she was carrying, and she looked very longing for the world on the other side.
Looking at the little girl's open picture book, which describes the playground and the short story of the skating room, it is indeed very attractive for a child of her age.
On the other side, Rentaro's inquiry ended, and Matsuzaki shook his head after hearing his question.
"I'm very sorry, I haven't let the children out lately, after all, I always feel very dangerous these days, so I don't know about the suspicious man you mentioned."
"Suspicious people?"
As soon as Matsuzaki's words fell, the little girl who was talking to Gu Wu continued to speak with her picture book in her arms "I've seen a man in a hat walking around the neighborhood before!"
"You did sneak out again."
The amiable Matsuzaki also became serious at this moment, and the frightened little girl couldn't help but hide behind Gu Wu.
With a sigh, Matsuzaki looked at the little girl.
"Can you tell them everything you know?"
"I don't know much......
It's just that......
The man walked around the neighborhood a few times and walked towards the bridge, I don't know ......."
Because I don't know what the world in the periphery is like, it's normal that she can't talk about it.
Rentaro heard the answer and fell into deep thought, there is indeed a bridge nearby, it is not too far and not too close, the question is what that person is doing here.
Suddenly, there were gunshots outside, and the frightened children hid behind boxes and cabinets and looked at the entrance and exit of the sewer.
Gu Wu touched the head of the little girl beside him, and he took the lead in walking towards the entrance.
The rain outside was a little weaker than it had been at the beginning, but it was still rattling and rustling.
Gu Wu, who lifted the manhole cover and came to the ground, was soaked by the rain again, and the cold air was filled with an uneasy smell, and after a few gunshots, a group of people came over.
"Find them!
They must have done it!
The two gastar attacks that just happened are around here!
” "Kill the cursed child!
They're demons!!
” "I didn't see it inside the abandoned house, and it was probably hiding underground!
Let's poison!!
” A group of civilians entered the perimeter in a huge way, holding fruit knives or kitchen knives in their hands, and some of them sneaking into the crowd with pistols.
The presence of these people is more tiresome than the cold rain, and there is no reason to sympathize with those who take the liberty of inflicting their guilt on others.
One of them quickly spotted Gu Wu in the rain, and the flat-headed man who took the lead walked towards Gu Wu.
"Hey!
You don't look like you're infected!
Do you know where those cursed children are?
” "What the hell is going on?"
"There have been two gastrator attacks in a row in the area near the outer periphery!
Who else did not do it?
” "Is that really good?"
"A cursed child is a demon!
That's reason enough!
” The crowd shouted, and they didn't look like they'd give up.
"Hey, hey!
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Got it!
This manhole cover is active!
” "Maybe the rats are hiding inside!"
"Kill them!!"
It seems that they prefer to take matters into their own hands rather than leave it to the police and the Self-Defense Forces to deal with it.
A group of people began to roar loudly above the manhole covers, stomping the ground hard, making a splash and trying to terrorize the cursed children.
"You guys get out of here, I'll take care of it."
Pushing away a man in front of him, Gu Wu's words made everyone look at him.
Undeterred by their malice, they uttered lines very similar to those of the previous group of attackers.
"You don't think you're a messenger of justice, do you?
Want to protect them?
Don't you have a family?
My wife, husband, and children are very likely to be infected by them!
” "No one wants to let a bunch of demons stay around!
You should be sober too!
” "I must protect my family too!"
Bang knock!!
Someone began to knock on the manhole cover and subsequently tried to lift it.
However, before it could be lifted, the falling raindrops were blown away by the wind in an instant, and this strong wind current also blew everyone gathered near the entrance and exit of the sewer to the ground.
"I'll take care of the rest."
Gu Wu emphasized once again that the man who had different thoughts from him attacked from behind at this time.
Raising his hand, the ground bulged suddenly, and such a mutation made the man who raided Gu Wu's eyes widen, and then he was hit hard in the chest, flew towards the sky, and finally smashed to the ground.
"What a trick!!"
The flat-headed man who took the lead also raised the blade in his hand, but he had just raised his hand when he was swept away by the wind in the form of impact.
"You guy!!"
A man hiding in the crowd pulled the trigger, and the bullet was intercepted in the air instantly, bouncing off the left side of the gunman's face.
Everyone on the scene didn't know exactly what was going on, but they all knew that staying here wasn't going to end well.
Seeing Gu Wu take a step, everyone took a step back.
Soon the sirens sounded again in the city area, and the people gathered here looked over, and then left the scene in the heavy rain, not daring to stay here.
"It's me."
Gu Wu lifted the manhole cover and explained loudly after seeing Rentaro and Yanzhu who were in a combat posture.
"They're all gone."
"How did you get those guys to leave?"
"It took a little brutality."
Gu Wu, who answered like this, looked at the little girls in the room who ran out of the shadows, and they were still looking at the entrance and exit with worried faces at the moment, for fear that someone would really spray poisonous gas or flames down.
"Satomi-kun, let's go buy something."
Gu Wu said to the children here "There's a little party later." ———— The rain subsided, and Gu Wu was carrying bags full of various snacks and drinks in both hands, and Rentaro and Yanzhu on his side were also carrying a lot of things.
"Woohoohoo~ Brother Gu Wu is much more generous than Rentaro in this room!
I bought a lot of stuff this time!
” "Money must be saved, and not everyone is the same as Mr.
Gu Wu; Therefore, saving is the king, Yanzhu. ” "I bought my favorite food!
Hope they'll like it too!
” "Yes."
Yeonzhu was many times happier than before, looking at the young girl who was striding forward, Rentaro stared at the bag he was holding in both hands.
"Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Gu Wu really helped a lot this time."
"It's just a gesture."
"No, it's really amazing, it's tricky enough for me to just take care of this."
Rentaro was complaining, but he looked happy.
"It's because of the hard work that the results seem worthwhile, I think so."
Gu Wu pretended to be old and gave an answer.
Back at the place where the children lived, Gu Wu and the three of them poured all the food in the six bags on top of the boxes that were spliced together.
"Woo!
Are these all edible?
” "That's right."
Excited children began to observe the snacks, and instead of scrambling, they were distributing.
When Mr.
Matsuzaki saw the happy children, he also smiled and thanked Gu Wu and the others.
"I've got you guys this time, and it's not bad to spoil them once in a while."
At this moment, Yanzhu is instructing the little girls how to open some food bags, and the previous haze seems to have been swept away.
"Big Brother Gu Wu!
This can light up!
” "En......"
Gu Wu, who responded, suddenly felt a strange sound.
"Satomi-kun!!"
Gu Wu pushed the little girl over, and then rushed forward.
The next moment, a bomb landed here, detonating the entire space!!
