Chapter 20 Investigation

In the video, you can see that the iron manhole covers weighing dozens of kilograms flew up with a loud bang, just like a sky rocket.

The height instantly exceeded the houses on both sides of the street, and flew to about ten stories high. Only when the momentum was exhausted did it fall down, smashing a big hole on the hard concrete road surface of the street.

"Is this... someone putting explosives in the sewer?" The young police officer murmured in a low voice.

This was the only explanation he could think of.

Xiao Hua watched the video silently, then walked to a manhole cover, squatted down and took a look.

There was no sign of being bombed, but there was a very obvious dent on the manhole cover.

"It's not explosives, it was directly pushed up by some mutant creatures." When Xiao Hua came to this conclusion, he only felt his throat a little dry.

The young police officer opened his mouth and finally said with difficulty: "How is this possible! It would take at least one ton of impact force to achieve this!"

"That is at least a mutant creature in the top 50 of the dangerous list! How could they come to our city quietly with such a huge size?"

Xiao Hua's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, "I don't know either, so I told the brothers of the City Guard to trouble them to go to the sewer to explore. Remember to bring heavy firepower weapons."

"Yes, sir." The young policeman left in a hurry.

Not long after, two elite teams from the City Guard rushed here in a hurry.

"Deputy Director Xiao Hua, is the information you gave accurate?" A middle-aged man in the lead asked in a deep voice.

His name is Li Yongming, one of the two captains who came to support.

"Here is a video, Captain Li, take a look." Xiao Hua didn't say much, and directly handed over the instrument in his hand, and clicked on the video.

In just a moment, Li Yongming's expression became unprecedentedly solemn.

"This is at least a dangerous level, a mutant creature reaching level three, and it can come to the city quietly, proving that the other party still has terrifying latent ability."

Li Yongming took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said heavily: "We are afraid we are in big trouble."

Such a terrifying mutant creature, hidden in the city, if it cannot be removed in time, will be like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will be detonated.

At that time, it may not be so lucky, just causing riots in a few streets.

"I will lead the team to take a look." Finally, Li Yongming made a decision.

"Captain Li, this is too dangerous. Is it inappropriate for you to go down in person?" Xiao Hua asked in surprise.

"Who is not dangerous to go down? As the captain, I should lead by example." Li Yongming waved his hand.

Then he looked at a member beside him and said: "Xiao Liu, send a message to the headquarters and transfer two armed helicopters to me, equipped with earth-penetrating bombs."

"Yes, captain." The member of the city guard team said quickly.

Soon, Li Yongming led two elite teams and entered the sewer through an open manhole cover.

"It's too quiet." As soon as Li Yongming entered the sewer, he found something wrong.

It's not that he had never entered the city's sewer before. This can be said to be the territory of rats, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and other mutant creatures.

Basically, after entering, there are such creatures everywhere, and the probability of a direct fight is very high.

Now, although the environment in the sewer is the same as before, with sewage flowing and the stench rampant, no creature can be seen.

"Be careful, keep the defensive formation and move forward." Li Yongming turned on the portable lighting equipment on his body, raised his gun, and walked forward.

The rest of the team members hurriedly followed.

However, they were more and more surprised as they walked, because they could not see even a mutant creature along the way.

"Captain, is it because of the residual breath?" A member asked in a low voice.

"Well! All animals have a sense of territory. After they mutated, this aspect did not change. In fact, they became more terrifying."

"According to our research, some powerful creatures can even emit deterrence directly to make other mutant creatures surrender." Li Yongming walked forward while explaining.

Soon, he stopped and touched the wall beside him.

There was an obvious scratch on the cement board here.

"Generally, scratches on creatures are mostly left, but how can it be so smooth here?" He gently touched the cement board, as if it had been polished again.

Unfortunately, no one could solve this doubt for him, so he could only lead the team forward cautiously.

Not long after, he arrived at the first place he was looking for.

Since the authorities knew the threat of mutant rats, how could they not make any preparations at all?

As early as the previous few times, during the process of "eliminating the four pests", they installed monitoring equipment in some hidden places in the sewer.

"Captain, the wire mesh was bitten open, and the monitoring equipment inside was damaged." A technician quickly squatted down to check and said with some frustration.

"Is the memory card damaged?" Li Yongming asked.

"It's not damaged, but the problem is that this monitoring equipment has stopped working for a long time. The most recent records that can be found are all from a month ago." The team member said helplessly.

"It's okay, let's go to the next location. There is a disguised recorder there, which should not be damaged." Li Yongming said after taking a look at the mobile phone map.

It was a sewer map, and the installation locations of all the equipment were marked.

The team continued to move forward without encountering any danger, or quite calmly, and came to the place where the recorder was hidden.

This hidden recorder is similar to an ordinary cement board, directly embedded in the wall. The only difference is the three inconspicuous pinhole cameras.

Even the pinhole cameras are camouflaged in color, and if you don't look carefully, you can't notice it at all.

As expected, the recorder was not damaged at all.

Li Yongming smiled and immediately asked the technicians in the team to open the equipment connection device.

But as he got closer to observe, the smile on his face froze on his face.

Because the locations of the three pinhole cameras were all covered with unknown black adhesives, which completely covered the cameras.

With the last glimmer of hope in his heart, he asked the technician to connect the recorder and retrieve the surveillance video from the mobile phone.

But it was pitch black as expected.

"Let's go to the next one." He took a deep breath, suppressed his irritability, and said in a deep voice.

Next, they went to a full 5 places where surveillance equipment was installed, and without exception, all of them were damaged.

It was not until they came to the next street that they found a surveillance device that was not damaged and the camera was not blocked.

"Quickly export the video." Li Yongming said excitedly to the member who was operating.
