Chapter 536: The People in the Underground Nest
The temperature inside the city was a bit lower, but it still wasn't a normal climate suitable for human life. Not long after sunrise, the temperature began to rise sharply.
Xu Huo chose to walk in shaded areas. Before he even got close to the crack in the city center, he sensed someone following him. When he reached a street corner, he turned around and saw two young Split-head Mutants throwing stones at him.
He raised his hand, caught one, and threw it back in one smooth motion. The two Mutants were frightened by the stone hitting near them and immediately turned and fled. Their escape posture was very human-like; at least on the surface, they didn't seem like Mutants who had lost their reason.
Keeping a certain distance, he followed behind the two. He discovered they ducked into a sewer in a small alley and quickly lost their trail.
Even for underground spaces, as long as they weren't too deep, Xu Huo could usually sense a little movement. For two children to go down and immediately have no trace was not normal.
He waited outside the alley for a minute before walking in, moving aside the manhole cover and jumping down.
The passage below wasn't very spacious. It might be convenient for children, but for an adult male like him, it was a bit cramped. He barely made it to the end of this passage. After exiting, the space branched into five different tunnels.
These tunnels were a mix of old and new. Two were dug very crudely, unlike the others which had metal pipes laid down. They were merely smoothed over with some kind of coating on the soil.
However, these tunnels carried sound. Even standing outside, Xu Huo could determine the source of the footsteps.
