章節 145: Chapter 145: The Dumbass Crocodile
Dim light filtered into the gloomy sewer. Wearing hard hats with headlamps attached, they navigated the foul-smelling depths, the weak beams revealing the sewer's true, filthy nature. Thankfully, their face masks offered some respite from the stench.
Gargamel led the way, his massive frame completely obscuring Zhou Hu and Wang Erdan who followed closely behind.
"Brother Zhou, I never thought our business would be this good."
Wang Erdan was ecstatic. He felt his life path brightening once more, with money beckoning him forward. From his past misguided ways, he had now found success through his own hard work, his character elevated.
Zhou Hu replied, "Erdan, you should call me CEO Zhou, and I'll call you CEO Dan. We're a legitimate company now, so titles are important. I've been observing your negotiation skills, and you've got a real talent. From now on, you'll handle all the business deals."
Just then, the green-haired Gargamel, walking ahead, let out a roar.
"Gargamel, you're doing great too. We see all your hard work. From now on, you're the most diligent employee of our cleaning company."
Zhou Hu valued Gargamel highly. He was hardworking, unafraid of getting dirty, tackled the toughest jobs, and ate the most. Their company needed such a dedicated worker.
Gargamel wanted to turn around, but his large body made it too much effort. He simply grunted a few times.
He was an evil creature seeking freedom and peace in the human world.
Although these two humans seemed a bit foolish.
Nevertheless, they had saved his life, and a grateful Gargamel had no problem working for them.
He just really missed the will-o'-the-wisps.
In the darkness ahead, a slender creature slithered, lying in wait. Any other evil creature would have recognized it as the venomous snake demon, a creature that favored the sewers.
It emitted a foul odor, making it unpopular even among its own kind. Even demons had standards of cleanliness, and they couldn't stand this smelly fellow.
What human would adopt such a creature?
Most likely, they would kill it on sight.
Even if it ended up in a human cooking pot, they would probably discard it in disgust because of the stench.
It was that undesirable.
At this moment, inaudible sound waves rippled through the air.
The venomous snake demon opened its eyes and flicked its tongue. It was a signal from the cockroach demon, sent to all the evil creatures hidden within the city.
It slowly slithered towards the sewer exit.
Suddenly, it sensed the presence of its own kind, the aura of the gorilla demon, a powerful aura. Its eyes lit up. Since they were going to attack humans, following a strong demon was a must.
It would ensure its own safety. Even if they encountered a powerful human, the gorilla demon would be there to take the brunt of the attack.
The venomous snake demon had pleasant thoughts.
Its mind harbored a near-perverted desire.
It wanted to devour all humans.
To satisfy its twisted psychology. Foolish humans found it ugly and smelly, and they disliked it so much. It was furious and wanted to use the cruelest methods against them.
It slowly approached the gorilla demon.
Soon, a massive figure appeared before it. Gargamel, brimming with explosive power, gave the venomous snake demon a sense of security.
Just as it was about to speak…
A giant foot stomped down.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed, followed by the squelching of flesh and blood splattering in all directions.
Gargamel looked down, lifted his foot, and saw a long snake crushed beneath it. He picked up the venomous snake demon, examined it closely, and tossed it behind him.
As a fellow demon, Gargamel recognized its identity but didn't think much of it. It was already dead, so there was nothing more to say, only an apology to offer his fellow creature.
"Sorry!"
"What's this?" Zhou Hu saw something long and thin draped over him. He looked closely and exclaimed, "Gargamel, why did you throw a dead snake on me? Oh well, CEO Dan, take it back. We'll have snake soup tonight."
"CEO Zhou, we can't eat this. Snakes living in the sewers taste awful and carry diseases," Wang Erdan said.
They were already immersed in their role-playing.
CEO Zhou, CEO Dan, these titles seemed to suit them.
"What a shame."
Zhou Hu glanced at the snake in his hand. Only when one worked hard with their own hands did they learn to be frugal. He had hoped to save on dinner expenses tonight, but it seemed that wouldn't be the case.
They reached the end of the sewer.
"Let's get to work."
Zhou Hu distributed the tools, and the two humans and one demon began cleaning the sewer.
Gargamel was satisfied with his current life. The two humans treated him well, and he had a job. Overall, it could be summed up in one word:
Stable!
At the Yanhai City Special Department…
The team monitoring demon energy fluctuations had it easy. Occasional demon disturbances were no big deal. They simply reported the location of the energy fluctuations to the experts at the Fourth Institute.
It was a relaxed job.
At this moment, a group of staff members were chatting while sipping milk tea.
"Anyone want to see a movie after work tonight? My treat, but ladies only."
"Do I qualify?"
A woman weighing at least two hundred pounds asked shyly.
The male colleague who had offered the invitation pretended to be working diligently, as if he hadn't spoken those words. The hopeful two-hundred-pound woman stomped her foot in frustration.
Some male colleagues pretended to sway their bodies.
"Earthquake!"
The woman glared at them, secretly vowing to sleep with each and every one of them for calling her ugly.
A male colleague nudged the one who had offered the movie invitation and whispered, "I think she likes you. Why don't you just press F to enter tank mode?"
"Get lost, I'm not that kind of guy."
"Hehe, that kind of guy isn't human either."
As they were chatting and joking, a sudden, urgent alarm blared.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Immediately afterward, someone exclaimed, "Demon energy surge! A large number of demons have appeared in the city!"
"There's an extremely strong energy fluctuation coming from the outskirts, exceeding level nine!"
The previously relaxed atmosphere turned serious.
The demon fluctuations within the city were manageable; no exceptionally strong energy readings had appeared yet. But the energy surge from the outskirts was beyond their comprehension.
Exceeding level nine?
What did that even mean?
Aside from the energy fluctuations caused by the Demon God's appearance, only the two demon energy surges at the abandoned warehouse a while ago had reached such levels.
Within the city…
Lin Fan strolled down the street with his arm around Old Zhang's shoulder, leading the demon rooster on a leash. They had no destination, no purpose, just walking along, resting whenever they felt tired.
The demon rooster looked around.
"Such strong energy fluctuations."
"Holy crap! Are they going to attack the city? I'm undercover among the humans, and I haven't gathered any useful information yet. Attacking so impatiently will disrupt my rhythm!"
The demon rooster was anxious.
It felt that its fellow demons were foolish. Didn't they know there was a demon hero willing to sacrifice its dignity, hiding in the human world?
And it had successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks.
If only it had a little more time.
It would definitely obtain valuable information.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang chatted softly, occasionally bursting into laughter. Their laughter was pure and untainted, unlike the smiles of people nowadays, which often carried hidden meanings.
"Demons! Demons have appeared!"
Panicked cries erupted.
The once peaceful street descended into chaos. People ran in all directions, some even losing their shoes in their haste. But even so, nothing could stop their desperate flight.
The appearance of demons was enough to frighten anyone.
Let alone ordinary citizens like them.
Boom!
A car, like a ball, was hurled by a demon, crashing into several other vehicles before finally coming to a stop. The commotion was significant, but fortunately, the ordinary citizens had fled quickly.
They had vanished without a trace before danger arrived.
In fact, running away was a compulsory subject for all students, and a very important one at that. Failing this subject meant repeating the grade until they passed. This was to ensure that in the future, when encountering demons, they could escape as quickly as possible and save their lives.
Therefore, when it came to running away, the citizens of Yanhai City were quite proficient.
Thump!
Thump!
The ground trembled as if a minor earthquake had struck. Then, at the intersection, a demon crocodile slowly crawled into view.
These foolish humans ran so fast.
It made the crocodile furious.
They dared to flee from its presence just because they were fast. If it caught them, it would devour them bite by bite.
"Such a powerful fellow demon," the demon rooster commented.
Cluck! Cluck!
Demon Rooster: Brother, go somewhere else. These two humans are my prey. I've successfully infiltrated the enemy. Don't ruin my plan.
The demon crocodile heard the sound, turned its head, and stared at the demon rooster. Such a tiny fellow demon. Then it noticed the rope around the demon rooster's neck.
Was that a symbol of slavery?
Demon Crocodile: Pathetic little creature, you've been tamed by humans. You're a traitor to our kind.
Demon Rooster: I'm not a traitor, I'm a hero! You dumb brute! I command you, in the name of the demon hero, to leave this place immediately! Otherwise, if you disrupt my important mission, you will face terrible consequences!
The demon crocodile roared and crawled slowly towards them. It was missing a front leg. It had been a successfully hidden demon, living among the crocodiles at the zoo.
But it wanted to say that those dumbass crocodiles had completely enraged it.
Just as the cockroach demon's sound waves reached it, a foolish human threw a piece of meat into the crocodile enclosure. It had been basking on the shore, enjoying the sunlight, when suddenly a dumbass crocodile woke up from its sleep and bit off its front leg. Then, with a series of death rolls, it tore off its leg and devoured it right in front of it.
In that moment, it had been stunned.
Its mind went blank.
What an arrogant dumbass crocodile. Did it even know who it had bitten?
