These monsters were all products of experimental variation from the red-haired monkeys utilised by the research institute. Most of them only had the combat capability of a card master apprentice and could be eliminated with mere firearms.

Leonard Churchill did not exert much effort; whenever he saw a monster break through the barrage of gunfire, he took a couple of shots with his large-caliber handgun.

Meanwhile, Seven Brown’s performance was highly impressive.

“Clang” “Clang” “Clang”…

Her twin six-round revolvers pulsated with a blue light, ejecting spent metal rounds onto the ground, piling up into a small mound.

Such a high frequency of fire would make it tough for the monsters to pass through the curtain of bullets, even without aiming.

Her firepower was suppressing, all by herself, almost the entire team.

With such a potent source of damage in their midst, the first wave of monsters did not last long before becoming mere mounds of flesh.

The final battle ended quickly.

A brief moment later, it seemed as if the monsters had calmed down.

The massive underground laboratory regained its quietness.

The eight teammates looked at Seven Brown with odd expressions on their

faces.

Before, they were worried about not having a Second Tier member in their

team.

But now, it seemed like this mechanic… was not too shabby?

Which Lady of the House has come for a hunter game experience?

Seven Brown detected those gazes but didn’t understand their meaning.

However, a hint of smirk appeared from the corner of Leonard Churchill’s mouth.

He understood why their expressions were so strange.

Because… even with enough ammunition, most hunters wouldn’t dare to be so wasteful.

The way she fought just now was indeed efficient, but it was purely burning money to deal with the monsters.

The ratio of ammunition expended to the gains from the monsters was utterly unjustifiable.

This was fundamentally different from the idea of a Hunter looking to adventure for wealth.

However, the others felt it was no big deal and even considered it a pleasant surprise.

With such an ‘inexperienced Elder Miss’ from the Alternate Dimension guarding them, their losses would be even lower.

Leonard Churchill didn’t say much either.

Bringing Seven Brown in, he wanted her to learn some things on her own.

The first wave of monsters was wiped out, the hunters started looking amidst the rows of corpses for low-level extraordinary materials.

Meanwhile, Leonard Churchill started using his Feast Skill among the pile of bodies.

His Feast Skill was currently at Lv3, the scope it could consume was substantial and highly efficient.

He swallowed up all the Extraordinary Traits of the hundreds of surrounding monsters that lay in the carcasses.

However, due to the monsters’ low rankings, the improvement in attributes

was relatively insignificant.

After all, Leonard Churchill wasn’t here just for these monsters.

His gaze landed on one monster in the pile of bodies still convulsing, even when bisected.

He squatted down and took a closer look.

“Undying Feature…”

As he watched the rapidly reviving body, a hint of confusion appeared in his

eyes.

Ordinarily speaking, such low-level monsters, unless they were undead, shouldn’t possess an “Undying Feature”.

However, the monsters in this lab did.

To kill them, the brain or heart must be destroyed.

Leonard Churchill noted that the monsters’ Extraordinary Traits flowed uncontrollably when their limbs were crushed.

Try as he might, he couldn’t reach a conclusion.

He tried to touch the monster’s body with his hand, specifically feasting on these overflowing traits.

Then, a curious scene unfolded.

The monster, struggling just a moment ago, slowly drained of vitality and eventually died.

Its heart and skull remained intact.

“Is that so…”

After watching, Leonard Churchill had an epiphany.

If his guess was right, then the key to overcoming the high-level plot difficulty of this space was here!

By addressing and limiting the monsters’ “Undying Feature” specifically, the difficulty could surely lessen.

Moreover, for Leonard Churchill, all these uncontrollable Extraordinary Traits were consumable!

The key point was that he guessed that the Undying Feature of these monsters was probably caused by a mysterious pollutant source in this 1981 Research Institute.

For a moment, Leonard Churchill pondered the known information and imagined several possibilities for the subsequent unfolding of the plot.

However, to others, his research on the corpse seemed bizarre once more. Even Seven Brown was puzzled, failing to understand what there was to investigate about these bodies.

The current difficulty was C-rank, tales suggested you merely had to wipe out groups of monsters, deal with a dangerous First-Tier Catastrophe and close off the passage from the first to the second floor in the core control room to emerge victorious.

However, the people who ventured in this time weren’t just aiming for C-rank difficulty.

While everyone was cleaning the battlefield and reloading their ammunition, suddenly Enlightenment appeared.

‘The secret archive room of the Titan Research Institute’s second floor has been discovered, Exploring degree +15%, a Second Tier Catastrophe-level aberrant creature is quietly lurking in the darkness. B-Level mission activated: Bring the archive password box out of the research institute.’ With this Enlightenment, everybody’s expressions immediately turned solemn.

The B-level difficulty had a current death rate close to 70%.

in other words, normally among their team of ten, about seven people end up dying.

Or in an extreme case, the entire team gets wiped out.

A thorough plan for dealing with this difficulty level does exist, however. Besides, they had already decided before they embarked; the Loose Practitioners could opt not to visit the second floor of the research institute, substantially lowering the risk.

Only Leonard Churchill was looking on with amusement in his eyes. For his current combat capability, the threat from an ordinary Second-tier Catastrophe wasn’t particularly intimidating.

But as he recalled the equipment and personnel configuration of the Iron Hand Hunter Group; he speculated that their objectives must have been more than just overcoming the B-level difficulty..
