Chapter 180 - 180: 100. I want to report! _3
Black Lightning streaked through the crowd, grazing the air beside the soldiers, before landing on Cavado’s chest.
“Crackle!”
From the Black Lightning sprung forth a multitude of electric serpents.
The surrounding soldiers were struck by these meandering electric serpents and instantly turned into dry husks, their eye sockets hollow as they were ground to dust in the impending tempest of obliteration.
Lieutenant Cavado withstood the Black Lightning, bearing the brunt of the damage.
His body swayed as he stumbled back several steps, colliding with a wall with a loud clang. The metal box in his hands fell to the ground at the same time.
On his chest, a large hole erupted, aflame with Black Flames!
His skin, bones, and internal organs all sizzled beneath the burn of the black flames.
“Ah ah ah!”
Cavado clutched his wound and shrieked in agony, his face a contorted mix of rage and a strange kind of ecstasy:
“Your timing is impeccable! Damned Death Notice Guild Wizard! We’ve been looking for you! Hahaha!”
Cavado laughed facing the sky, completely disregarding the injury in front of him:
“If you’ve come of your own accord, then all the better! …Men, activate the Biochemical Soldiers! Let’s show this Death Notice rabble our might!”
“The Empire is nothing but trash who only know how to manipulate humans!
Bring as many as you like, I will kill them all! I’m still short of two fingers of Imperial Warrant Officers for my holy objects! I’ll start by using you as material! ”
Screeching, Greenshaw transformed into a twirling column of black smoke, like a whirlwind rushing towards the metal box next to Cavado.
As he seized what they referred to as the ‘holy object’, not forgetting to address the cause of all this mess:
“You too! Go die!”
A bolt of lightning shot from the black smoke, aimed directly at Noland Lee’s location.
But the lightning fell short, striking the ground tile with a crackle and spraying fragments and dust everywhere, not even touching the hem of Lee’s clothing.
This was not the time to delay; Noland Lee was not a fool.
He had already taken advantage of Greenshaw’s distracted attention, and shaken off the magical restraint, fleeing for his life.
As the Black Lightning struck the ground tile, he had already darted into another tunnel, leaving Greenshaw’s screams far behind him.
Noland Lee glanced back at the scene of flying debris, then sped up his pace again, sprinting towards the end of the tunnel without stopping for a moment.
Let Greenshaw and Cavado’s Biochemical Soldiers busy each other.
Speaking of the Biochemical Soldiers, Noland Lee frowned slightly, and Kasha’s memory fragments surfaced in his mind.
The memory showed a type of soldier without a skull.
Their brains were exposed, and missing a small portion.
The missing part was artificially removed, responsible for processing human emotions and feelings.
The memory on Biochemical Soldiers was limited to this, which Kasha accidentally saw in a report prepared by Cavado.
But just from this one scene, Noland Lee could deduce many things. For instance, the Empire was heading towards the abyss of eradication of humanity.
They had been driven mad by the Undead Cult, planning to defeat them at all costs.
Out of the various means of defeating the Undead Cult, they chose the one most devoid of humanity, the one that had no bottom line.
That was to erase all feelings and emotions from soldiers and transform them into thorough war machines.
This extreme means of exploiting the value of soldiers is not unique to the technological path of Biochemical Mutation.
In the path of Synthetic Humans technology, the ‘Wet Parts’ transformed from living people have great similarities with Biochemical Soldiers.
Without saying a word, Noland Lee ran with all his strength and soon arrived at the end of the tunnel.
This was a junction, originally guarded by soldiers.
The commotion on the surface had lured away the guards, so now there was no one to interfere with Noland Lee as he tried to determine his direction.
“Let me see if the memories of the Death Notice Spy contain any information on an escape route.”
After two seconds, Noland Lee nodded vigorously:
“Got it!
“Greenshaw had once told his subordinates that they would take the route from
Bunker No.ll, where naturally, there would be someone to meet them. The Death Notice Spy inside Bunker No.ll had already prepared the tunnel leading to the Northern Mountain Range, about 1000 meters above the ground level at the tunnel exit, a fast-descending cable is available.”
“Oh- So the Death Notice Guild has a secret passage leading north, and it even comes with a fast-descending cable. So Greenshaw, that bastard, was lying when he bragged about becoming a skeleton warrior and jumping off a cliff…” Noland Lee’s lips twitched slightly, and he turned around and sprinted into the
tunnel on his front side..
