Chapter 174: Departure, Scarlet Wind [Part 1]
The gray cat moved incredibly swiftly and without pause. It ran straight towards the same direction until it arrived at a tear in the prison. A hole was blown on top of the building because of a big explosion.
The gray cat jumped inside, and the little hellhound fellow followed closely behind it. Lung also followed them hastily after parking the flying car at the side.
The electric power source devices inside the building had all been destroyed. After they entered deep into the building, everything in the surroundings were covered in darkness. Lung fished out a few floating energy lamps. The surrounding sights were revealed clearly under the lamps’ illumination.
There were dead people everywhere. More than half of them were convicts since there weren’t many prison guards in this area. Lung looked and checked how some of these people died. Some had died from mutual conflict, whereas some were killed in a single, clean blow. It was very likely that the men of the two forces had dealt the single blows.
Lung let out a sigh. Of all times, why did they have to run into those two forces now? If he knew that they would appear at this place he absolutely would not have come for an adventure. But then again, who would’ve expected that those two forces that were high up in GAL would come to a mere grade one prison?
After making a few corners, the gray cat jumped down to the lower floor and sniffed again. Then, it continued to run once more.
It wasn’t just the gray cat. The little hellhound fellow had also caught Cillin’s scent.
“Wheeze, how is it?” Lung asked while running behind it.
“I can smell Cillin. But there is also some foreign smell; a very strange smell.” the gray cat replied without looking back.
Not long after, the gray cat arrived at the warehouse and let out a sneeze abruptly.
“What a disgusting smell!” the gray cat shook its whiskers and said.
The little hellhound fellow obviously shared more or less the same feeling. It frowned, bared its fangs and circled around a puddle of sticky water not far away before shaking its head and leaving.
“I’ve ran into these things before.” Lung said. It was the trace left behind by that mouse-like beast creature after it died.
The gray cat ignored Lung and looked at one direction of the passage. Cillin had come over from this direction, whereas a most disgusting fellow had also departed to this direction. Therefore, Cillin had probably encountered that disgusting fellow.
The little hellhound fellow walked to a corner and let out a low growl from its throat.
“A woman.” the gray cat sniffed and said, “This woman had left together with Cillin.”
A woman? Seriously, Cillin…
“They went that way!” the gray cat spread out its four limbs and ran down the other direction of the passage.
Lung brought up the prison’s layout. According to the displayed layout, Lung also figured out roughly Cillin’s escape path.
The gray cat had paused at a certain part of the passage. This was the part where Cillin had fought against the weirdo who could melt into walls, and where that single eye had appeared.
Although Lung believed that Cillin was alive, he was still very anxious. After all, running into the two forces head on was no joke. One slip of the mind would be fatal. Thankfully, they did not find Cillin’s blood at this place. The gray cat continued to search for Cillin following his scent.
Gradually, the amount of dead people began to grow numerous. This was especially true at the byway of the passage, and many of the bodies were cut in half in a single strike. The gray cat had also talked about catching several special scents in the air.
Special scents meant special people. They were not your common and average human, and this meant that the people of the two forces had shown up once more.
Hmm?
Lung looked at the surrounding dead bodies. Every bone in these dead bodies was broken, and this was especially true for those who were already dead and those who had no power to resist at all. Almost all of their bones had been completely crushed, and their muscles were torn off. These dead people lay on the ground like many pools of glue, their bodies deformed. Upon closer inspection, it would seem that they had been affected by a certain force after their deaths. If it wasn’t for the skin wrapping around their flesh, they would have hardly been able to maintain human form.
Lung had instructed robots to capture photos of everything they had seen along the way. He would analyse them once they got out of this place. This was an important piece of intel, and he would upload it to the other Andrea family members who had arrived at Sector S.
