The dark green pollutants that tainted the river water were sprayed out from the round holes in the riverbed.
Although the pollutants were soon diluted by the flowing river water, the lingering murky green hue still worried people about the future of the river.
“Click-clack click-clack…”
Light footsteps approached from a distance, passing by the jetting chemical emissions at the bottom of the river.
Noland Lee glanced at the greenish hue in the river water and silently lamented, “Polluting the environment is shameful.”
He tried to lighten his steps as he moved northward along the underground river, putting aside his distraction and focusing on the task.
He was in the underground space in the southern part of the Legion Fortress, with the vast steam boiler room right above him.
Going from here to the north, he would pass under the steam train station, the fortress main road, and the armor workshop before reaching the area right beneath the Legion Castle.
Yes, the area directly beneath the Legion Castle.
That’s the precarious structure, always on the verge of collapse and possibly crushing the ground underneath.
Noland Lee’s biggest worry now was that he’d arrived at the castle just in tfor it to collapse, bringing down the foundation and burying him alive under tons of rubble…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis worry wasn’t unique to him.
After walking for nearly 10 minutes, he stopped near the castle.
A group of unexpected humans appeared near the underground river, and they were blocking Noland Lee’s path.
“Quickly, quickly, move faster. Move all these ancient relics, and don’t leave a single one behind. We have to take everything we can carry before the castle collapses!”
The familiar, harsh female voice cfrom the front, passing through a distance of 30-40 meters and entering Noland Lee’s ears.
Hearing the voice, Noland raised an eyebrow, twisted his foot, and hid behind a rock.
He used the rock in front of him to shield himself and used “Tracking the Living” to see the scene not far away.
About thirty Military Intelligence Second Division soldiers were there, fully armed with plate armor, silenced short-barreled rifles, and breathing masks that filtered out poisonous gases.
Most of them were in motion.
They were running in and out of the cave entrances on the walls.
Noland took a closer look.
The soldiers were coming from deeper underground.
The cave entrance they entered seemed newly dug, with fresh soil and rubble nearby. It connected to an underground tunnel leading to the northwest. It seemed that the soldiers were transferring the ancient relics buried underground to the tunnel at an urgent pace.
As for the woman standing still and giving orders with a loud voice, it was Kasha, the female investigator of the Military Intelligence Division Two.
But why was she here?
Shouldn’t she be in the city to stop the Undead Army at this time?
According to Kasha’s words, they were moving ancient relics…
Could it be that the Military Intelligence Division Two was executing ssecret mission here?
Noland Lee muttered in his mind and dared not act rashly.
There were more than 30 guns in the hands of the enemy, plus Kasha herself held the rank of a Sergeant Major and could turn into the “Imperial Fist” using her potion.
Noland Lee had no chance of a head-on confrontation with them and decided to be cautious.
He listened carefully.
In the downstream of the river, to the north of Kasha’s position, there were dense and chaotic footsteps.
The sound brought back memories to Noland Lee.
In his mind, he recalled the scene where he was chased by Skeleton Hounds.
As expected, a large group of Skeleton Hounds ran along the river, heading straight for Kasha and her team, who were moving the ancient relics.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKasha detected the Skeleton Hounds at the first moment.
She swiftly took out her firearm from behind her back, using the lead-loaded “fire-starter” as a hammer.
The soldiers who were carrying the relics wanted to put them down and fight, but Kasha interrupted their actions with a resolute tone.
“You continue moving the relics! Got it? Put your guns away and keep carrying! ”
Kasha raised her hand and pointed at two soldiers, ordering:
“You, and you, transform into ‘Imperial Ranger Giant Adams’ and stop all these undead creatures. Don’t let them interfere with our work! Hurry up! Don’t dawdle!”
The Skeleton Hounds were getting closer, about to have a melee encounter with the personnel of the Military Intelligence Division Two.
The two soldiers who received the order to transform put down the ancient relics in their hands, grabbed their metal injectors, and turned into the agile Ranger Giants with a roai.
They took a few steps forward, sweeping their arc longswords and plunging the Skeleton Hounds into the water, then raising their arms, firing bullets from their palms, and exploding enemies that leaped toward them.
The battle was about to start, and more and more Skeleton Hounds poured in from the northern part of the underground river, filling the gaps in their front line and fighting with the Ranger Giants.
Although the Ranger Giants were agile, they were, after all, a type of biochemical giant with a body far larger than a normal person and couldn’t ensure that they could block every small and agile Skeleton Hound.
There were always about a dozen Skeleton Hounds that managed to penetrate the defense line and crawled under the Giants’ legs to attack the soldiers of the Military Intelligence Division Two.
Kasha begrudgingly held back from using her transformation opportunity and didn’t strike in the extraordinary form of the “Imperial Fist.”
She brushed away the Skeleton Hounds with her gunstock and kicked the head of another Skeleton Hound that flew by.
Seeing the increasing number of enemies, she quickly shouted at the soldiers who were busy carrying relics:
