Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 37 Ge Du

37: Chapter 37 Ge Du

37 -37 Ge Du

After enduring it for a while, Wen Wen took a black mask out of his pocket and put it on his face, emitting a satisfying sound of breathing.

Wearing the mask felt more relaxed than a patient with dry colon having a normal bowel movement, by countless times.

“Isn’t that the standard-issue mask from the Hunters Association, do you have another one?” covering her nose, Gu Panxi asked Wen Wen, as a normal person couldn’t stand the stench.

“This is the only one, and even if you wanted it, I wouldn’t give it to you,” Wen Wen took off the mask and cautiously licked it with his tongue, fearful that she’d violently snatch it away.

Gu Panxi displayed a look of disgust, “I wouldn’t want it even if you were willing to give it to me since you’ve used it.”

After getting past the initial discomfort, the two began exploring the labyrinth-like sewers, and as the search progressed, Wen Wen started to feel envious of Gu Panxi’s leather coat—at least it wouldn’t let in water!

In an environment like the sewer, there were many places where they unavoidably had to wade through water, and the water…

let’s not even talk about how disgusting it was.

After walking for a while, Wen Wen stopped and began to closely inspect a section of the wall.

“What are you looking at?” Gu Panxi asked curiously.

“Green slime, these are traces left by the Scavenging Demon, and they’re fresh.

My thinking wasn’t wrong; there is definitely something off about this place,” Wen Wen’s narrow eyes opened wide, and beneath his mask, his smile was excessively exaggerated.

“Is this the monster you’ve been searching for?

It looks like it would be disgusting,” the sight of the slime reminded Gu Panxi of some nauseating soft-bodied creatures.

…

“Thank you for taking me in, respected Lost Mother,” the Bewitching Clown Grandi, who had escaped from Lin Zheyuan’s grasp, sat on a damp and tattered sofa, conversing with a strange entity.

“My name… Ge Du,” the voice was very unclear, as if mixed with a sticky, wet sound.

The owner of the voice stood opposite Grandi, a grotesquely shaped monster.

It had pale and slick skin, with a lower body resembling a giant white worm, ten delicate human thighs arranged neatly, much like the legs of a caterpillar.

Its upper body was the naked torso of a perfect man, with clearly defined muscles that didn’t appear overly bulky.

However, on its back, there were numerous wriggling flesh buds, like a nest of maggots!

On its head, there were four blood-red eyes, their irises moving irregularly, occasionally sweeping over Grandi, making him shudder.

A dozen expressionless humans stood around Ge Du, ordinary people infected by it, possessing greater physical abilities than normal, unafraid of pain, and completely submissive to its will.

“I am now able to move on my own, may I leave first?

It’s somewhat inappropriate to always trouble you here,” Grandi cautiously spoke to Ge Du, not really wanting to come here.

Even he did not want to be near the Lost Mother, a creature like this monster; if he accidentally ingested its bodily fluids, he would be ruined.

“You…

should become the Great Mother’s… Devotee, it’s not safe outside…

don’t leave,” Ge Du shook its head, all four eyes looking at Grandi as it spoke.

“Alright, alright, I won’t leave,” Grandi slumped on the sofa, let out a long sigh, and, having been on high alert for sneak attacks, was feeling somewhat frazzled.

After escaping from Lin Zheyuan with serious injuries, Grandi entered the sewers to hide but hadn’t expected to be captured by this creature.

This monster said he could become a ‘Great Mother’s’ Devotee, so it brought him to this ghastly place.

Grandi’s ability to bewitch others had effects somewhat similar to those of the Loss Virus, only it wasn’t as domineering and insoluble.

He figured that was precisely why he had been brought here.

Moreover, Grandi suspected that compared to becoming a devotee to the Great Mother, Ge Du harbored a more intense craving for him!

The Loss Virus carrier wanted to devour Grandi!

The only reason it hadn’t acted was due to a degree of wariness towards Grandi, but dragging this out would sooner or later give the monster an opportunity; as long as he kept being injected with the venom, he would become a puppet to this monster!

Grandi had wanted to flee, and he could easily dispose of those ordinary infected people around him with a hundred different methods, but in these sewers, there were more than just ordinary people!

Ge Du shifted his four eyes away from Grandi and onto a woman who was already scared stiff.

The Loss Virus carrier’s food source was uninfected, living ordinary humans.

Periodically, Ge Du would send out infectees to capture ordinary humans for its consumption, and Gu Panxi had wanted those two infectees to capture her and bring her here as well.

Watching Ge Du turn away to focus on his meal, Grandi reached into his chest, thinking of taking the chance to escape.

But at that moment, one of Ge Du’s eyes twitched and slowly moved to the back of his head, warily keeping watch over Grandi.

“You…

be good.”

Grandi gave a sheepish laugh, took a cigarette out from his chest pocket, and lit it, deeply dispirited.

The pitiful woman, seeing Ge Du slowly approaching, let out a piercing scream, but Ge Du paid no attention to her; in these sewers, screaming was futile as no sound would reach the surface, and he relished such screams.

The corner of Grandi’s eye twitched slightly; it wasn’t that he felt sorry for the woman, since in his eyes, ordinary humans were no more than livestock, but he was somewhat disturbed by Ge Du’s manner of feeding.

Even if that woman were a pig, seeing someone chasing after a live pig’s hind, nibbling on it, would still be sickening to most people.

Suddenly, Grandi’s expression changed because he sensed a familiar qi.

“How is it that guy again, his ghost just won’t go away, his shadow is everywhere!”

“But…

this could be an opportunity!”

Grandi smiled to himself; he had found a way to escape from this place!

…

Following the trail left by the Scavenging Demon, Wen Wen and Gu Panxi tracked it and soon approached the location of the Loss Virus carrier.

While walking, Wen Wen suddenly stopped, frowning.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Panxi asked with surprise, her Perception Ability was not strong, which was why she had to ask Wen Wen to help her find the Loss Virus carrier.

“I seem to smell a familiar scent.”

Wen Wen took off his mask, drew a deep breath, and almost passed out from the various odors, but among these mixed smells, he recognized one that he had smelled before!

“The Bewitching Clown, Grandi!

He’s here too!”

Wen Wen’s expression turned ugly.

He still had some misgivings about Grandi’s ability.

That feeling of having one’s body out of control was just too dreadful.

Suddenly, a desperate wail reached them, the cry of a woman in agony!
