Chapter 1114 1112: Bad News
Yes.
Their mindset is still stuck when they were of normal size.
Crawling out of the sewer manhole wasn't a big deal.
But now, each person is only a few centimeters tall.
A height of a few meters is equivalent to hundreds of meters for them!
This kind of height?
How could they possibly climb it?
"Then we can shout for help at the access point, right? Someone will come to rescue us."
"But you forgot, even now, our voices can only travel one or two meters in a very quiet place..."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a problem.
Things are different now than before.
Even a single stair step is equivalent to a height of six to seven meters, even over ten meters, for everyone.
This kind of height, maybe only Su Chen can climb.
The rest of us have no chance.
"And... how long will it take us to find the way out? Do you have food?" The female sales representative's thinking was unexpectedly sharp.
She directly analyzed their current predicament.
Actually, Su Chen had thought of these issues long ago.
Even on these cylindrical walls, it's already very difficult for him to climb up.
Of course, he can certainly climb it.
But how about the others?
Even if he dug some footholds on the wall.
Will everyone dare climb up?
It's hundreds of meters high.
If you fall, you're dead.
Or he could try to chisel out a small passage along the wall.
But don't forget.
The sewer is all reinforced concrete structure.
The normal version of Fighting Sword could indeed cut through iron like mud.
But now the power of Fighting Sword has been weakened a thousand times.
It's only a few times sharper than Lv Hongpeng's Dagger.
But to use it to dig a hole through reinforced concrete is simply a fantasy.
"Everyone, don't worry. As long as we stay alive, there's always hope," the female physics teacher comforted everyone.
"Let's try to find if we can locate a manhole cover," Lv Hongpeng suggested.
The group set off again.
"Look over there, that seems like a manhole cover!" Finally, the group found the first manhole cover.
That manhole cover looked as if it were in the sky, with the vent holes like suns in the sky.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone outside? Please come and save us!"
Everyone shouted together upwards.
Unfortunately, after shouting for so long, there was no response.
"Is it because our voices are too soft?"
Su Chen listened to the wall for a while and said, "Give up. No one will respond to us."
It turns out this manhole cover is on the road.
Cars keep passing by.
No one could hear their voices amid the traffic.
Just when the group was about to leave,
suddenly the light above darkened.
It seemed something blocked the manhole cover.
"Someone's here, great!" Lv Hongpeng immediately shouted upwards, "Help! Help!"
However, Su Chen's expression changed drastically, and he called to everyone, "Run!"
Though the female physics teacher didn't know why Su Chen was urging everyone to run, she trusted his words because he had saved her husband.
Immediately, she supported her husband and moved away.
The female sales rep had been saved by Su Chen before, so she also listened to him.
Yan Ling and Lin Lu felt that Lv Hongpeng was dangerous.
They were already far from him.
"What are you doing, come here and shout together!" Lv Hongpeng frowned at everyone.
But just after he said those words, he found a stream of water poured down from above, directly on his head.
The strong flow knocked him to the ground.
A pungent stench filled the air.
It turned out it wasn't a person at all.
It was a dog.
Looking for a place to pee.
After being miniaturized, humans can't see that far, but Su Chen had better eyesight, so he saw it.
That's why he warned everyone to quickly dodge.
Watching Lv Hongpeng get drenched in dog urine, everyone was disgusted.
Fortunately, the sewer wasn't lacking in water.
Though the sewage was also dirty, it was much better than dog urine.
The group moved forward and found several more manhole covers.
But they still couldn't find anyone to rescue them.
It seemed this method was entirely ineffective.
As time passed, nobody knew how long they'd been in the sewer, and since it was quite cold, the sewer was even colder.
Cold, hungry, and exhausted.
Yet Lin Lu seemed to have impressive stamina.
"Aren't you tired?" Su Chen looked at Lin Lu in surprise.
"When we perform, we sometimes have to dance on stage for several hours, it's nothing," Lin Lu replied.
Su Chen understood at once.
No wonder the others were utterly exhausted.
Lin Lu still looked like she was fine.
She frequently danced and practiced.
And she wore flat shoes when she came out.
So it wasn't hard for her.
The female sales rep and the female physics teacher weren't so lucky.
The sales rep wore high heels.
The physics teacher had to support her husband with a broken leg.
Draining her energy severely.
She was panting heavily.
"Why don't we rest for a bit?" Su Chen observed that the two were in bad shape.
"Rest for what? You've hardly walked any distance and you're down? I'm telling you, we need to find a way out immediately, otherwise, we will all die here," Lv Hongpeng said coldly.
"But we can't go further, and Teacher Hu and her husband can't either," the sales rep gasped.
Desperate to take off her high heels.
But she thought about how filthy the sewer was and didn't want to take her shoes off.
"Do you want to rest too?" Lv Hongpeng asked Lin Lu and Yan Ling.
As Lv Hongpeng previously wanted to kill Yan Ling,
both of them had a strong animosity toward him.
They didn't answer him.
"Fine, then you all stay here and wait for death! I watched the weather forecast yesterday, Jiangdu City will have continuous heavy rain, staying in the sewer is a dead end!" Lv Hongpeng said with a sneer.
Everyone's expressions changed after hearing what Lv Hongpeng said.
This was definitely terrible news.
The city's sewer isn't only for sewage.
In rain, the sewer is also the primary drainage channel.
Sometimes with heavy rain, some places can't drain in time, causing water to overflow onto streets.
If it really pours, the sewer won't be as calm as it is now.
The rainfall under such conditions would be no different than the Yellow River flooding.
When that happens, only Su Chen might survive.
No matter how skilled Su Chen is, he can't save everyone in a heavy rainstorm.
Seeing the skepticism in their faces, Lv Hongpeng said, "Your phones should still have signal, check for yourselves."
Luckily, today's smartphones are waterproof.
The female sales rep took out her phone and found, indeed, the weather forecast showed there'd soon be heavy rain!
