After walking for so long, he still didn't see the exit. John couldn't help but feel that the route he chose was wrong. Perhaps this was a sewer without an exit, or a sewer with a very far exit.

"George, I think maybe it would be better for us to change the path."

George nodded: "I think so too."

Their breathing became a little rapid and rushing. In such an environment, their physical strength was consumed very quickly. It was because they were old now, so how could they compare with those young people? They could last for so long because they usually went out to exercise.

John looked at the two sewer pipes on the left and right and asked George, "Which do you think we'll walk now?"

George shrugged: "Actually, I don't think it's all right, because we don't know if there will be an exit for any of the items..."

After hearing George's words, John didn't want to discuss it anymore. He directly chose the sewer pipe on the left and walked inside.

As he walked further and further, he found that the light was getting darker, which means that the number of manhole covers on it was getting smaller and smaller.

John didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he had to ask George while walking: "George, the number of manhole covers here has become smaller. Do you think we are closer to the exit or far away."

George thought about it and said, "I think this is good news for us. Generally speaking, there are only so many manhole covers on the main street. Now that the manhole covers are fewer, it means that we have left the main street, whether in the suburbs or other places, this may be the end of the sewer..."

After hearing George's words, John was shocked and his pace increased by two more minutes.

As they advanced, the light became darker and darker, and in the end it even turned out to be darker. They could not see anything. John, who was walking in front, could only prevent haze and slowly walked forward.

At this moment, John suddenly felt a hand grabbing his ankle and asked, "George, have you fallen?"

George's voice came from behind him: "No, what's wrong with John?"

John suddenly felt something was wrong. The hand was in front of him, not behind him, and George also said that he did not fall, so who would the owner of this hand be?

"George...I...I feel like something grabs my ankle."

George's heartbeat suddenly accelerated when he heard this: "You... are you saying true?"

Even at this age, John still cried: "I'm talking about George, you have to believe me!"

George heard John's words and immediately began to slowly retreat, and at the same time he spoke, "John, don't be nervous first, let's retreat slowly, it's too dark here, we can't see anything! Be careful."

John understood George's meaning and began to take a step back slowly. The hand did not hold his ankle tightly, so he easily moved his feet back.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the hand that grabbed his ankle came again.

John didn't know what his face looked like now, but he knew clearly that his forehead was now sweating was falling, and his beard was completely beaten.

John, who was panicked, simply stopped thinking so much, but just retreated again. George heard the sound of water behind him, and knew that John was still retreating, so he pushed back with him.

John vaguely felt something was wrong. He always felt that he had retreated a little, and that hand would follow a little, and there was no other move. But after all, he could not see anything now, and he did not dare to draw conclusions casually. He could only continue to step back one after another.

It was not until they retreated to a place with light that they found that the one who caught John's ankle was only a dead body. It seemed that he had not died for a long time, so the clothes were not rotten. There was a part of the suit in the top that caught John's feet, and John and the others were walking in the direction of the sewer flow, which led to such a result.

After knowing this, John untied the clothes hanging on his feet, then pointed them at the body, and stepped on his feet with his hands.

If it were ordinary people, they might be a little scared in such a situation, but it wouldn't be for them. They don't know how many dead bodies they have seen in their lives. In their hearts, dead bodies are no longer a big deal.

But they were a little angry because they had to stay here for a while. In their opinion, they were actually approaching the exit infinitely just now, but because the dead body retreated.

John and George walked forward again along this sewer.

This time if George was walking in front, George might not be much more courageous than John, but after all, he is several years younger than John, and he is still much stronger in physical strength.

He walked in front of him, and John didn't think so much. He just kept his head down...

George soon walked to the place where John had just stepped back, and this time they did not stop without the dead body that had grabbed the ankle.

After walking a distance behind, they finally saw the light again. What surprised them the most was that this time they saw a ladder made of steel bars under the manhole cover they saw!

If I had known, they had been looking for something like this before, but unfortunately they had never seen it...

"George, we can go out! We can really go out. That death judge can no longer stop us!" John seemed very excited.

George was the same, he quickened his pace and said to John, "Yes, John, we can go out, you are right, and that judge of death is not omnipotent!"

Ye Chen listened to the excited conversation between the two, and glanced at the corner of his mouth... full of disdain.

George took the lead in climbing up, and finally after reaching the top, he grabbed the steel ladder with his left hand and pushed up with his right hand.

The manhole cover is very heavy, but it is not impossible to move it away. This discovery made them even more excited.
