“Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter…”

In the staircase leading to the Third Underground Level, messy and hurried footsteps echoed.

Security personnel were not regular soldiers after all, and their vigilance was lacking. Even though they were aware an enemy was present, they exposed their own footsteps.

Noland Lee followed in the team, frowning slightly and watching the spot where the mechanical spider had an accident.

The two bright red figures were alarmed by the footsteps.

They picked up several alchemy parts, then lightly jumped down through the hole into the Fourth Underground Level.

Throughout the entire process, they didn’t make any strange noises. It was apparent that they had been in this dark underground area for quite a while and had rich experience.

They might be illegal alchemists from Black City… Noland Lee speculated in his heart.

As he had this thought, he immediately saw those two figures waving their arms in the Fourth Underground Level, as if sprinkling something.

A large number of tiny red dots flew out from their bodies, swarming into the corridor of the Third Underground Level.

These tiny red dots looked like swiftly flying little bugs.

They vibrated their wings and shuttled through the corridor, quickly approaching the staircase.

The faint sound of wing vibrations reached the inside of the staircase, alerting

Kent.

He stopped and raised a finger, signaling the team members to keep quiet.

After half a second of listening, he suddenly shoved the team member beside him backward and summoned his alchemy weaponry, blocking everyone in front.

He lifted his arm forward, and a thick brown light curtain appeared out of thin air, sealing up the staircase like a tall wall.

The little black insects crashed into the brown light curtain with a pattering sound, making a rain-like collision noise.

Their abdomens were bulging, filled with muddy black liquid. After colliding with the light curtain, they exploded into a mess of splashing water.

In just a few seconds, the shiny and clean light curtain became as dirty as rusty waste metal.

The air in the staircase also filled with a strong smell of rust at the same time.

“It’s Rust Insects! Put on your breathing masks!” Kent shouted while maintaining the light curtain to block the attack.

Noland Lee had experience fighting in the Suffering Borderland.

He put on his breathing mask in the first moment without hesitation, moving much faster than the other security personnel. He even had time to aim at the little black insects and throw out a Deconstruction Technique.

[System Message: You are about to launch Deconstruction Technique on

“Alchemy Product: Rust Insects”.]

[Based on your knowledge of alchemy and alchemy rune study skills, the energy point consumption for this Deconstruction has been reduced to 70 points.]

Noland Lee glanced at the system message but didn’t silently confirm

“Deconstruct. ”

Kent had introduced his alchemy weaponry before their departure. The light curtain he summoned could be penetrated only from one side. The team members standing behind him could shoot the enemies without any problem.

Now was not the time to counterattack!

Noland Lee took out the revolver from his waist, opened the cylinder, unloaded the bullets inside, and replaced them with specialized snake bullets.

These bullets were used for hunting snakes. Their pellets were smaller, with more pellets per shot and a larger spread, making them suitable for shooting smaller fast-moving targets at close range.

After loading the snake bullets, spinning the cylinder, and flicking his wrist, the cylinder clicked back into place with the ratchet sound.

Noland Lee raised his hand and fired six shots, emptying the cylinder and releasing a large number of pellets.

Six bursts of blood exploded almost simultaneously, and several clusters of Rust Insects burst before they could hit the light curtain.

Noland Lee successfully triggered Passive Deconstruction as he wished.

[System Message: Passive Deconstruction success!]

Noland Lee calmly reloaded the ammunition, reading the Deconstruction results in his mind.

Upon hearing the gunshots, the other team members reacted and launched their counterattacks in succession.

These security team members were quite clever.

Seeing the effectiveness of the snake bullets, they changed their ammunition and loaded snake bullets into their shotguns, firing continuously with a loud bang.

The gunshots created a wave of sound in the staircase that made everyone’s eardrums ache.

After a storm of bullets, the swarm of insects that had flooded the staircase disappeared, leaving behind a dirty rust slurry that covered the floor and walls.

Kent maintained the light curtain and moved forward slowly, inching towards the area where the mechanical spider malfunctioned.

Using the “Tracking the Living” skill, Noland Lee checked the position of the hole and shook his head slightly.

That sudden insect swarm attack earlier was clearly intended to stall him and the others.

The two figures who had released the insects had already run away, disappearing into the depths of the Fourth Underground Level corridor.

Kent walked out of the staircase and entered the corridor, shining his light towards the hole and sighing deeply.

“Damn… we must have run into illegal alchemists from Black City… Everyone, stay alert. I’ll fill up this hole..”
