Chapter 240 Underground Research Institute

The entrance to the underground research institute is in a large warehouse.

As a disguise, half of the warehouse was filled with discarded machinery from various experiments. The passages were cleverly blocked, and the visual difference made it difficult to detect what was hidden behind. There are many well-packaged boxes deep in the warehouse, which contain daily supplies for personnel consumption.

There is a secret door on the wall covered by the box, which opens into a vertical elevator shaft. It is so dark that you cannot see the bottom floor.

The people below must now know that the surface is under attack and should be prepared to deal with those who descend.

Unfortunately, they probably didn't realize that we have detailed maps of the underground in our hands. There is a material opening in the middle of the elevator shaft that was reserved during construction. Although it was sealed after completion of construction, the wall is not thick.

By opening the wall, you can reach a ventilation duct through this material opening, and drop down about 50 meters to the first floor of the underground research institute. If the guards in the institute are all staring at the elevator entrance, they can be surprised from behind.

The watchman centurion, who had just completed his warm-up, asked to be the first to go down.

Herot granted.

The centurion jumped into the elevator shaft without any hesitation, and more than a dozen watchmen jumped in behind him.

Helot stopped the watchman who was about to enter, and motioned for the cavalry to follow.

After the cavalry jumps off, Helot casts a ball of light downwards.

The ball of light fell downwards, followed the cavalry into the material opening, and continued downward.

You can see that the elevator car is parked at the lowest level, blocking the exit. However, this kind of blockade is of no use. As long as the cavalry and centurions can interfere with the guards guarding the elevator exit, the people above can rush down.

Helot took out his pocket watch and checked the time. According to the previous rehearsal, they would be in place within seven minutes.

The hands clicked, and everyone waited quietly.

When an explosion sounded from below the elevator shaft, Helot took a step forward and jumped down.

While falling, the "Old Code" caught up with him, and the mercury phantom beast attached itself to his body. The silver armor took shape, the silver wings unfolded backwards, and the sharp wing tips scraped against the steel supports in the elevator shaft, creating a long series of sparks.

Helot stretched out his left hand to summon the Perfect Blade. With a thought, the Perfect Blade turned into a hammer and aimed at the elevator car below. The metal car was like paper, with a hole opened from above by the Perfect Blade.

Helot, who followed, fell from the middle of the hole, his body suddenly stopped floating when it touched the ground, and then he rushed out of the open elevator door. Behind him, Bresini dropped and rushed out, Melis dropped and rushed out, Firollo dropped and rushed out, and the watchmen rushed out one by one.

Outside the elevator is a hall with four corridors leading to other parts of the underground research institute.

As expected, after the surface part of the institute was attacked, underground guards gathered heavy troops in the hall.

Countless corpse puppets, mixed with corpse stitchers, and more than a dozen mechanical corpse puppets.

There are also three military heavy machine guns aimed at the elevator entrance.

If he had just rushed down from the elevator shaft in a daze, he would have been hit by a concentrated fire and suffered huge casualties.

At this time, the cavalry and the centurion had already led the watchmen who sneaked in and launched an attack from behind the guards. The Iron Cavalry's fists were packed with magic energy, and one blow was like a blast of wind. The part directly hit by the fist was instantly shattered. Even the mechanical corpse puppet couldn't withstand his storm blows, and was beaten into a pile of scrap metal in one round.

The centurion also showed strong force, killing with an ice-breaking knife with a cold light.

The other selected watchmen all have extremely rich combat experience. There are three of them in a group, back to back, each responsible for one direction, and they are like meat grinders cutting into the zombie group.

When Helot rushed out of the elevator, the hall was at its most chaotic.

The guards' attention was attracted by the attack from behind. They didn't know how the intruder appeared behind them. And during this brief trance, more intruders rushed out of the elevator.

The heavy machine gun fired a few seconds late, and Helot had already transformed the perfect blade into a shield to block the front. The large-caliber bullet hit the shield. Not only did it not cause any damage to the perfect blade, it was instead shot in all directions.

The flying Helot was very fast. He rushed in front of the heavy machine gun against the bullet jet, and with a wave of his hand, he covered the machine gunner with his mental black screen. Breshni stepped out from behind Helot, harvesting the gunner's life with a sharp sword and darts.

Helot then summoned a large number of skeletons.

Then there are large swathes of corpse flower poisonous vines.

Finally, there is the Firestone Giant.

Near the elevator exit, Helot used his specialized undead summoning spell to single-handedly create a situation where there were more and fewer people, covering the following people who rushed out of the elevator shaft.

Melis joined in the killing of the guards. The ice sword shot out ice cones while swinging, and the extremely cold mist froze the joints of the corpse puppet. Also using a sword, Melis's fighting style is different from Bressini's agility. She focuses more on momentum and does not need redundant dodges. Ice can block all attacks for her, and ice can destroy all enemies for her.

The temperature underground dropped rapidly, frost bloomed in some damp places, and the watchmen entered their home turf. They are well-trained, know how to cooperate, know how to save themselves in battle, and kill the enemy with the minimum cost.

The Watchers quickly took over the battle line before the skeletons and corpse flower vines summoned by Helot were exhausted. As more and more watchmen came in to support, they began to launch a counterattack.

Heroth flew in the air, bombarding from all sides with magic.

The Old Code and Firoro stayed close to him, one shooting randomly with a gun, and the other muttering and casting curses everywhere.

The perfect battle blade turned into a sickle, harvesting the group of corpses to his heart's content.

The internal and external attacks and the crushing of absolute strength quickly ended the battle in the elevator lobby. Melis arranged for people to send the wounded and the dead watchmen back to the ground, and sent some watchmen to guard the exit, and then followed Heroth to explore the depths of the institute.

Heroth fell from mid-air, and the silver wings were retracted into the armor.

The Old Code opened the pages of the book and absorbed all the impure death energy here.

Helot ignored it and walked forward on the corpses and wreckage, while shouting to the watchman who rushed into the house to search: "Be careful of hidden enemies. If you encounter anything suspicious, call for support from your companions around you. Don't touch any instruments, and collect all the pictures and texts you find in the hall."

Melis caught up: "Except for the guards who died here, no other personnel were found."

Helot put the wandering perfect battle blade back into the ring and said: "They should all go to the underground dock, escape from there by submarine, or dive away directly. Although the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau has placed mines in that ocean, mines are weapons that rely on luck and cannot kill everyone.

Let's chase them now and try to catch as many important insiders as possible."
