Chapter 375 The basement of the apartment at 33 Walker Street

"They mainly make a living by committing crimes. As long as it is a business that you can think of, they will do anything, and there is no bottom line in what they do... This is the reason why I want you to give up this report, because they really... can do anything.

It can be done.”

"And you are just an ordinary person, Mr. Chen. If they want to retaliate against you, you can't handle those bastards."

Chen Yan remained silent.

The police officer hesitated for a moment and whispered again:

"Look, does he pay attention to the hat on his head?

No matter what, he has to put his hat on.

You need to pay attention, Mr. Chen, razors usually wear hats with a deep brim because they can hide a razor blade in it."

"You are lucky, Mr. Chen. If you had been closer to him just now, he would have been able to slit your throat with a razor."

When he finished speaking, Chen Yan was already convinced.

"This time you come, treat it as a visit between friends."

Chen Yan looked at the police officer:

"The taxpayers of Walker Street are safe because of your protection, thank you."

The police officer was very satisfied with his attitude, and even showed some enthusiasm because of it, because the sergeant of the street police station was also elected by the people. Now the position of the sergeant of the Walker Street police station is vacant. Maybe it will be merged.

One day in the not-too-distant future, he will need Chen Yan's votes.

He promised Chen Yan that he would take the Razor Gang member to the police station to record a statement, get back the money to repair the kitchen, and warn the guy not to harass Chen Yan again.

According to the previous experience of the police officers, after this step is reached, as long as the gang members are fine, the Razor Gang will often not retaliate against the person who reported the crime.

The two police officers took the Goliath man out, and Chen Yan said to Ogami who had just come downstairs:

"We were targeted by a small gang with very dirty tricks. I need their death to ensure that we will not be retaliated against in the future."

Ogami nodded calmly and disappeared down the corridor.

When I returned to the restaurant, I could only hear the howling cold wind. The stove and furniture damaged by grenades were completely beyond repair. The snowflakes that began to fall after nightfall had been swept into the messy restaurant through the broken windows by the cold wind, leaving this place in a mess.

It looks like the ruins of a city after a battle.

Fortunately, the explosion did not penetrate the wall shared by the kitchen and the indoor corridor, and did little damage to the ceiling.

The only thing that was seriously damaged in the restaurant was the water pipe - that thing was spraying water uncontrollably outward.

The strange thing is that even though the water flow from the damaged water pipe is not small, there is no water on the restaurant floor.

water……

It flowed down below.

Is it...the basement?!

Chen Yan realized his vulnerability from the incident just now, so he called Jack Bardo. Together, they used tools to dig up the ground near the water pipe, and found a narrow passage going downwards without an escalator.

Jack Bardo didn't know much about this matter, and was greatly surprised by the existence of a basement, because when he usually walked in the corridor on the first floor, he didn't feel that this apartment had a basement at all——

Firstly, there is a layer of heating pipes laid under the feet, and secondly, perhaps because the floor between the first floor and the basement is too thick, it feels very solid when you step on it, and you cannot feel that there is more space below.

Chen Yan didn't explain much to him, but just told him that he didn't know about it before.

"Perhaps there is a hidden wall going downwards in the apartment, but we didn't notice it."

Chen Yan asked while blocking the cracked water pipe with rags:

“What is a hidden wall?”

Jack Bardo said:

"It's a deception made up of spells. There are many mages in my hometown who like to use hidden walls to cover up some worthless gadgets."

"There are many ways to open the hidden wall. You can hit it head-on, or try to chop it with a knife. If the hidden wall exists, the wall will disappear like mist, revealing the hidden passage."

Chen Yan already felt a headache:

"Stop talking, brother, dig it."

The desire that was not far away finally spoke to him:

'There are indeed very interesting things in the basement. I have been here so many times before, but I didn't find anything... You guys dig it first, and I'll go down and take a look.'

She seemed to hesitate for a moment and then said:

'Feel for any discomfort in your body.'

Chen Yan thought to himself, wasn't my body repaired by the Messiah with crimson blood? What discomfort would there be?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood stunned on the spot.

Crimson blood...

Messiah can use crimson blood to repair his body!

This shows that she can use the power of the crimson god!

But there was more than just a touch of crimson in her eyes, there was also an icy blue in her eyes that represented her younger sister.

Maybe...she can also use her sister's power...the power of the Data Spirit!

What would that power look like?

Another gust of cold wind blew in from the broken window, making Chen Yan shiver and make him realize the current situation:

Messiah is now in a coma due to overstrength due to saving him. In any case, he has to wait until she wakes up.

After suppressing their chaotic thoughts, Chen Yan and Jack Baldo finally dug a downward hole that could accommodate one person after half an hour of physical labor.

Looking down from the hole, you can see the damp basement floor with moss growing vigorously.

It was only after digging that Chen Yan knew how thick the floors were between the first floor and the basement - from the floor on the first floor down, they were floor → wooden layer → floor heating pipe → water pipe → isolation layer → domestic sewage pipe

→Cement layer→Soil→A thick layer of native wood ceiling→Basement.

The height of almost two meters deep from top to bottom is completely filled with these things.

Chen Yan was pretty lucky and didn't dig through the sanitary sewage pipe without knowing it, otherwise tonight would have been really hopeless.

After digging, Chen Yan found scaffolding from the utility room next to the restaurant and stretched the scaffolding to the longest distance - about six meters, before it could barely touch the basement floor.

The voice of desire appeared in his ears:

'Be quick, there is a surprise underneath.'

Chen Yan and Jack Baldo held on to the scaffolding and entered the ground. At first glance, it felt like this place looked like a living room——

Although the room has been taken over by some kind of vigorously multiplying moss, the small bed in the corner is still relatively clean. The large bookcase placed against the wall next to the bed proves that the residents here are "cultured" in a certain sense.

people".

Chen Yan took a general glance and saw that the books on the bookcase were mostly reference books related to industrial technology, such as "Introduction to the Basics of Electricity", "Illustrations of Force Analysis of Complex Mortise and Tenon Structures", and "Detailed Explanation of Mechanical Section Drawing"

"...and a large number of "Machinist" magazines published by the Yanan City Workers' Newspaper.

The person living here...is a skilled worker?

Why don't you say hello to me? Are you afraid of paying the rent?

On the other side of the room is a very long tool table with various strange parts and common tools such as welding guns.

What surprised Chen Yan was the small wooden board connected to the welding gun. Although it was just an ugly board, Chen Yan could confirm at a glance that it must be a power strip!

If there is a power strip, it means there must be electricity.

At this moment, Chen Yan felt extremely absurd. Electricity, one of the most expensive living resources in Yanan City, had always existed in his apartment building.

Looking down along the power strip, I saw a paint bucket filled with green shining stones.

The moment Chen Yan saw the green light appearing on the surface of the stone, his expression changed:

"That stuff is radioactive!"

Jack Bardo wondered:

"What is radioactivity? Isn't this [marshmallow]?"

Chen Yan said in astonishment:

"What?"

Jack Bardo explains:

"It's a strange thing that appeared on the black market a few days ago. The person selling it was a pirate. He said it had the functions of extending life and enhancing abilities.

Who would believe this kind of thing? Besides, the thing is so green that it oozes out when you look at it.

Later, for some reason, the pirate actually deceived a big boss.

The boss is a tough guy. He turned a whole piece of marshmallow into beads and embedded them in his... um, body."

Chen Yan couldn't help but said: "F*ck."
