Deep in the Living

Chapter 293 Umbilical Harbor
The Dead Ash Sea is the boundary between the light and dark sides of hell. The change between day and night is no longer obvious here, and the whole place is shrouded in haze.

This makes the giant lighthouse particularly conspicuous, and its light intensity is far stronger than the lighthouse in the human concept. The light beam it emits can extend for thousands or even tens of thousands of meters on the sea surface, providing effective guidance for ships crossing both sides.

The crow colt carried Rody closer and closer to the port city, and he slowly saw the specific structure of the lighthouse. No wonder he felt a special sense of being watched when he was illuminated by the light.

This lighthouse is just packaged as a "dead object". Its base structure should be some kind of old large tumor, and its surface has undergone some kind of skin keratinization process to become like pieces of gray rough stone.

Fixed in the topmost lamp room is a giant eyeball covered with scorch marks and connected to energy nerves, which can emit light from the pupils with rippling flame patterns.

Do not know why,

This is clearly a town where tumor inhabitants live, and this is clearly a lighthouse built by tumor inhabitants.

However, Roddy felt that the light source of this lighthouse exuded the aura of the Spinemen, or the aura of the Chaos Hive City.

The illumination from the lighthouse just now seemed to give me a similar feeling as I had at the Hive City Recruiting Ground.

"Agatha, the light source on top of this lighthouse is not created by the Tumor People, right?"

“This is my first time here, and I only read about Pusthalamar in the book room.

This light source is definitely not the creation of the tumor people. After all, those guys who like disease and plague mostly like green light.

According to the records in the book.

This port lighthouse was built by the Tumor People and the Spine People. As for what the light source is, it is not recorded in the books. If you are interested, Luo Di, you can go and take a look when we enter the city."

"it is good."

As we approached the port city, the originally muddy ground gradually became solid, but this solid ground was not made of cement or stone, but an infected substance spread from the city.

The ground seemed to be infected with a disease and was covered with lumps. The texture had become hard, and one could see nerves or blood vessels running through the ground.

The walls of the entire city are also made of hard lumps, with a high-density keratinization treatment on the surface.

It combines both durability and reproducibility.

Moreover, the city wall itself is also the granary of the tumor residents. Each lump contains thick pus. If there is a famine or a long-term offensive and defensive war, the pus reserves between the city walls can allow the tumor residents in the city to survive for more than two months.

The city wall has no gate structure.

All visitors need to do is find a crack on the wall and squeeze in. During the squeeze in, they will undergo a physical examination, extract their pheromones and send them to the city center.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble at the port can be identified by simply comparing the pheromones collected with those collected when entering the city.

To some extent, the consequences of offending the tumor people are even worse than offending the prologue group.

……

"This smell..."

When you get about a hundred meters from the city wall, the strong smell seems to be able to grow abscesses between the stomach sacs and has a strong emetic effect.

Agatha added a filter to the metal breathing hole around her throat in advance.

Luo Di quickly put his hand on his face.

The iron wire was wrapped around, the torture device was constructed, and the jaw-splitting device instantly covered the entire head. This was the first time Agatha had seen such an operation. She had never expected that the torture device could be used in this way.

Under the city wall,

There are many so-called gaps, just find one to go in. Rody put the crow inside the clothes and found a gap that was similar to his own height.

Perhaps sensing the approach of people, the crack opened on its own, revealing the rotten flesh and fresh abscesses inside. The strong smell even became visible to the naked eye and wafted out in a green color.

If he didn't want to go to the dark side of hell, Rody really didn't want to get into such a gap.

Gajigaji~
Passing among various raised particles, the pheromones on Rody's body were quickly collected, and then a verification request was sent from the Umbilical Port to the Chaos Hive and the Grand Monastery at the same time, and both received responses.

His envoy status has been registered at the Umbilical Port, and he will be placed in the priority queue for subsequent outbound boat trips, and no fees will be charged. As the squeezing feeling disappears, he passes through the gap and his vision opens up.

I thought that this port city belonging to the tumor people would be like "walking into the human body", but the scene before my eyes was exactly the same as Rody's hometown, and I even felt like I was back in Jupiter City.

The various buildings are similar to resettlement communities, shops of all sizes are scattered throughout the streets, dark black vertical street lamps are arranged at intervals, and even the ground is paved with asphalt.

There is no part of it that is related to the tumor people, and it is completely inconsistent with the city wall behind it, which creates a very awkward feeling.

"Agatha, what on earth is this?"

Agatha, who had just emerged from the city wall, was also amazed at the scene in front of her. "What is recorded in the book is true! The construction of Umbilical Port uses the latest construction technology of the original pus, and all the building materials are mixed with a radioactive brain tumor substance.

It can effectively radiate and influence nearby visitors, making the town become the most familiar and friendly one to them.

Umbilical Port is a large neutral city. Different types of demons come here every day. Most of the hell demons find it difficult to adapt to the living environment of the original pus.

Therefore, such urban architecture is very necessary.”

"Brain tumor... that means this is an illusion, right?"

"Helpful illusions."

"Okay, let me see what it looks like."

Luo Di tried to roll up his tongue and tap it gently in his mouth. As the sound rang out, the scene in front of him changed instantly, Luo Di's pupils began to dilate rapidly, and his teeth could not help but clench lightly.

Since it was only a very slight knock, the sobering effect faded quickly and returned to the original illusionary effect.

"Huh...it really is a beneficial illusion. It's better not to dispel it so easily."

Although the city presented an easily acceptable illusion under the influence of brain tumor materials, the city residents active here remained the same. Roddy also officially saw the so-called "tumor residents".

They were very different from the tumor soldiers he first saw on the battlefield.

Tumor residents seem to dislike "external clothing" and instead prefer to use their own "hyperplastic structure" as more close-fitting and comfortable clothing, and will even dress up carefully.

For example, the hyperplastic skin and mucosa are directly draped over the body, and the intestines are used as straps, scarves or belts for decoration.

The digestive matter in your intestines can even highlight your identity. For example, if you had lunch at a high-end restaurant, you can directly show it to others in this way.

Various proliferating internal organs can be worn as accessories at various locations on the body, and the strong expression of some organs may attract the attention of the opposite sex.

In addition, tumor patients often have more intense life activities in their bodies, which brings more metabolism, and a single excretion outlet is completely insufficient.

Therefore, most of them have hyperplastic holes on their backs, from which odor, liquid and even fluid substances constantly seep out. This is more obvious in some people with larger tumors.

These substances are very valuable. City streets will actively absorb them and flow to biological engines below the city’s ground to serve as energy for purifying seawater.

Maggots, flies, locusts and other elements that can express plague are occasionally used to decorate their bodies, or are directly expressed in the form of flies.

Although it was quite curious, Rody was very adaptable and could adapt to it by just looking at it a few more times.

On the contrary, some tumor patients felt nauseous and even vomited after seeing Rody's strange gray-haired image.

The two did not go to the port to board the ship to the dark side. Instead, they found a hotel with high-end candles lit, and seemed to plan to stay here tonight and leave tomorrow.

The boss's image is pretty good. All his body enhancements are covered under his skin. He just looks fatter.

"It's really rare that there are monks staying here! Welcome, welcome. I will try my best to arrange a relatively clean room for you."

Agatha didn't respond, but instead pressed her huge body against the counter, with a wanted poster directly in front of the boss.

"Have you seen this man? Or heard any news about him? If you can share the information, this coin is yours."

A special silver coin produced in a large monastery was placed on the table, making the boss' eyes pop out.
