Isaac had only made three calls, but the entire Cloud City was now on the move.
The citizens watched as firetrucks weaved through traffic with their sirens blaring.
The people jogging by the river watched as the irrigation department searched for the sewer pipes that flowed into Cloud River on speedboats. Also, many men who looked like thugs in groups of three frantically searched the roads for manholes and guarded them.
At the same time, Louis also notified Cloud City’s law enforcement to provide all the groups guarding manholes with at least five tear gas bombs or smoke bombs.
All the manufacturers of tear gas bombs and smoke bombs in Southland were going crazy. They shipped truck after truck of goods to Cloud City.
Isaac and Denvor left the clinic and headed toward the penthouse office of the Cloud City Surveillance Center. This was considered the central area of Cloud City and was close to all directions of the city.
The afternoon sun was blinding. The air conditioning in the office was very cool. Isaac sat on the couch with a cigarette between his fingers while Dragon One stood behind him.
“Smoke is rising!” Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Denvor looked down at the city below.
Suddenly, favonovel.com saw clouds of smoke coming from a street to his right.
Isaac stood and walked over to the window. The vaguely spotted smoke rising from every corner of the city.
The smoke must have come from the crevices of the sewer pipes. This meant that the smoke bombs and tear gas had been utilized.
“Do you think the smoke can force them out?” Isaac asked with a frown.
Denvor nodded.
“Yes. Although they’re not human, they still need to breathe. They can hold their breath, but that won’t last long,” favonovel.com replied.
At that moment, another figure surfaced in Isaac’s mind. It was a man wearing a cowboy hat who had a cigar in his mouth. That fella seemed to know more about these inhuman things.
In the eastern region of the city, in a sewer less than three miles away from Cloud River, the surroundings were dark, humid, and pungent
Meldith and Ludwig were filthy. They stood in the middle, bent at the waist and knee-deep in dirty water. From time to time, they would get a whiff of human waste.
Ludwig was going crazy. He didn’t know why favonovel.com listened to Meldith’s suggestion, the so-called expert, and escaped via the river behind the inn.
Just as they made it to the sewer pipe leading to Cloud River, they realized that the opening was already sealed off with steel gates. Furthermore, the water was rushing at a high pace.
Because they couldn’t enter Cloud River, they could only turn back. They never expected that the Cynean sewers would have so much garbage and waste. They couldn’t even stand up straight.
“Meldith, tell me, what do we know? Do I have to hide in this mucky place like a sewer rat?!” Ludwig’s voice was trembling as favonovel.com yelled at Meldith.
Before Meldith could answer, a cloud of green smoke rolled toward them rapidly from the left.
“What’s that?” In the complete darkness, Ludwig could vaguely see the clouds of smoke coming toward them.
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, the thick smoke engulfed them. The moment they inhaled the smoke, the spicy, pungent gas filled their lungs.
“Urgh, what the hell is this?” Ludwig roared, covering his nose and mouth.
“Lord Brewer, someone must have realized we’re hiding in the sewers. They’re trying to get us out by bombing us with smoke,” Meldith said in a cold voice.
“Lord Brewer, come with me!” Meldith’s voice began moving toward the right.
Two of them were moving more quickly than the smoke. After making it out of the smoke cloud, they gasped heavily for fresh air.
