Chapter 183 Invasion

at the same time.

Jiang He sensed that the movement of the marker had completely stopped.

Earlier on the train, he used a cold-tooth dagger to stab William, a new resident, leaving a tracking mark.

These new residents are all paying tourists who come to this small western town specifically to travel and have paid $100,000 based on their conversations.

Dawn Corporation was unlikely to allow William to die during the trip, so he waited for the target to provide him with medical care.

"It's actually right below the town."

Jiang He seemed to be deep in thought. The Nightingale had just mentioned Baalzeb, who possessed the three powers of disease, fly plague, and gluttony. He happened to have all of them. These three keywords were enough to try to make a judgment.

"If I am Baalzeb as described in the mission description, then my weakness should be... being afraid of hunger."

Jiang He was very self-aware; he disliked the feeling of hunger the most, but the main quest still hadn't been completed.

"It's really not that simple."

Jiang He arrived at the tavern's cellar. Just as he was about to attack the underground company, the title "Gun-Suppressing Dragon City" was activated again, unfolding a three-dimensional vision before his eyes.

Throughout Rock Town, cellars, stables, wells, and other places are connected by passageways leading to the underground company; the truth of this world is hidden beneath the stage.

Jiang He sat in the cellar, waiting patiently.

Rock Town is open to the public, allowing new residents to do whatever they want, including shooting and abusing Indigenous residents. This process results in a large number of Indigenous deaths, and the company is responsible for replenishing the population and cleaning up the mess.

Time passes minute by minute.

At midnight, the sound of machinery suddenly rang out from the tightly sealed floor inside the cellar. A square metal box rose up, and two employees in white uniforms stepped out of the elevator. They were startled to see someone sitting there quietly.

"What are you doing here? If you feel unwell, please let us know immediately."

After calming down, the lead staff member reassured the other party, explaining that remembering the appearance of all new residents was a basic principle for all employees. A single day's visit would cost $100,000, and the entire trip typically lasted seven days to two weeks. Those who could afford such prices were all wealthy. It was precisely this continuous influx of funds that satisfied the company's research and development needs; therefore, the customer was king.

In an instant, Jiang He suddenly sprang up.

To prevent the staff's deaths from triggering the alarm, he simply knocked the two unconscious at close range and then used ropes to suspend them as teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls).

Scan the uniform, peel off the skin on the fingers, and find the access card.

Jiang He, also dressed in a white uniform, stepped into the elevator. There were only two stair buttons inside, requiring both fingerprint and access card authentication. He went straight to the ground floor.

"Employee 0692, please respond."

"Immediately cease any abnormal operations, report the reason for returning, and report the location of all team members."

"Employee 0692, please respond."

"Please verify your identity immediately by passing the iris test."

"Suspected employee 0692, please respond if you hear this."

"The security team has been deployed. Lay down your weapons and await investigation."

"Please lay down your weapons immediately, cease resistance, and await investigation!"

"Prioritize arrests, but permit shootings."

Jiang He loaded bullets expressionlessly. The moment the intrusion occurred, Dawn Company's security system detected the anomaly. Unlike the ordinary surveillance in the town, the surveillance equipment in the elevator was more advanced and concealed.

The elevator doors are locked, and the transportation system is cooling down.

Jiang He delivered a straight kick, the black military trousers and boots working together to enhance the leg's kinetic energy and amplify the kick's penetration. Combined with his physical attributes and strength, a deafening roar erupted.

boom!

The locked metal door was kicked open, and the two large doors flew through the air like cannonballs, shattering countless honeycomb-like windows in front of them.

Chu Chu Chu!

A storm of bullets swept towards the elevator. The white-clad employees seemed to be incredibly strong, wielding heavy machine guns and firing indiscriminately. Chains of fire converged, and spent bullet casings littered the ground.

This is a firepower density far exceeding that of a battlefield.

The sound of heavy hammers striking the sheet metal echoed repeatedly.

Jiang He leaned forward as he stepped out of the elevator, bracing himself against the immense impact. Sparks flashed across the surface of his Sword Scale Dragon Armor, and countless streaks of fire parted before him. The remnants of the metal storm poured into the elevator, causing a violent explosion.

In a sea of ​​fire.

Jiang He extended his blood wings and struck the air, unleashing three thousand six hundred iron feathers, each feather shimmering with the luster of blood poison.

shhhhhh!

A storm of blood and iron descended, and the streaks of light tore through the uniforms and flesh of the white-clad employees, then severed their bones. Countless shattered corpses littered the ground, and hundreds of employees gathered in front of the elevator died in an instant.

"The staff should withdraw and leave the battlefield to the team leaders."

The sound that echoed underground had just subsided.

Thousands of tawny feathers came flying at him, each one like a sharp needle aimed at him. The sparks were more intense than bullets, yet they failed to cause the slightest damage to his armor.

"Be careful, the attacks are on a completely different level." The harpy spread her wings and circled in the air; underground combat severely limited her agility.

Jiang He pulled out the Crimson Baptism, activating all three shooting skills simultaneously. A dark red streak flashed across the battlefield, precisely landing in front of the harpy.

Roar!

The harpy unleashed a piercing shriek, the sound waves seemingly possessing a tangible power, rippling outwards in layers.

But the combined effect of this ordinary bullet was too great; the spiraling force of light and dark easily tore through the sound waves and continued forward.

In a moment of crisis, the barrier master raised two fingers.

"Yu!"

Before the harpy, three rectangular, flat barriers appeared out of thin air, like heavy steel plates suspended in mid-air. Compared to the crude hand seals of ordinary barrier masters in the Kasumi Guild, Kanzaki Ueya had already reached a high level of expertise. The barriers, combined with triple spellcasting, allowed him to hold his own in the Kasumi Guild, which was full of noblemen.

Bang bang bang!

The bullet pierced through two barriers in succession and, with undiminished force, broke through the front of the third barrier.

The barrier master, beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead, roared, "Destroy!"

The third barrier suddenly shattered, as if applying immense pressure to the objects inside. The bullet, being made of ordinary material, vanished instantly.

"So what are you going to do with the two?"

In the blink of an eye, Jiang He fired two shots in quick succession, his base stats combined with the rare passive skill "Leopard's Agility" making his attack speed as fast as lightning.

The barrier master shouted, "Run!"

The three-layered barrier rose again. After the establishment of "Defense", "Destruction" broke. The second bullet was shattered, but the third bullet followed the same trajectory and shot straight towards the enemy.

In the two exchanges, the barrier master had bought enough time. The harpy twisted in mid-air, her wings flipping, her technique and strength perfectly controlled. The bullet, enhanced by the combined speed of Crimson Baptism and Rapid Fire, only grazed her shoulder, leaving a negligible wound.

"I'll carry it in front, and the barrier master will protect the ink painting."

The green zombie charged forward, knowing that in such a high-intensity encounter, if no one took the lead, the team would eventually be defeated one by one by the enemy.

Chapter 184 One Shot

Shuguang Company, underground cellular floor

The green zombies charged wildly, their momentum overwhelming.

Once they reach the Green Zombie level, the corpse energy emanating from their bodies contains potent corpse poison. They are extremely fast jumpers, incredibly strong, capable of lifting stones and pushing trees, and leaping dozens of feet in a single bound. Their bodies are exceptionally tough.

As for the Zombie Alliance behind it, it is one of the large organizations in the present-day Great Xia. The biggest advantage of transforming into a zombie is that it greatly extends lifespan. The prospect of extending lifespan alone has garnered strong support from many wealthy patrons. However, "zombies" also have many disadvantages. The rigid body makes the growth and recovery of energy value greatly reduced.

Even before you get close, a stench hits you.

call out!

The green zombie waved its arms, its body radiating a ghostly green light. Its fingernails suddenly lengthened, resembling five cold, sharp, and poisonous long knives, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they cut through the air.

Jiang He remained expressionless as he thrust out his Long-Hate Dragon Spear. His opponent did not pose a strong sense of danger to him, so this thrust was simple and unadorned, with only layers of passive enhancements.

boom!

The entire floor seemed to fall silent.

With a faint cracking sound, the three-layered barrier that the barrier master had cast for his teammates dissipated into fragments.

The green zombie was hit head-on, and his five senses went numb. He could only hear the dense and annoying notification sounds in his mind.

[Hint: You have been hit by the Great Powers' Exclusive Weapon - Eternal Regret Dragon Spear]

[Warning: You have been affected by the Soul Devouring effect. Saving attempt failed. 300 energy points have been evaporated.]

[Hint: You have triggered the Soul Slash of the Soldier Spirit]

[Notification: You are dead]

In the instant before losing consciousness completely, the green zombie felt that the world was absurd. This shot seemed to pierce through his flesh and into his soul. More than a dozen enhancements were concentrated on its edge. Without the great immunity of the silver body to the attack of bronze, he could not withstand it even if he risked his life.

Bang!

The green zombie's corpse fell to the ground.

At almost the same time, the harpy also died and fell to the ground, its entire body black.

The barrier master who witnessed everything looked bewildered. After realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but show extreme shock and fear.

"How can this be!?"

It was just a simple attack, yet it took down the green zombie, who was also a peak Bronze Age creature.

Zombies are known for their strength and defense, and they die in an instant. If it were me, with a weaker body, I would probably be reduced to ashes in a flash.

"Deputy team leader, please cheer up."

"Our support will arrive shortly."

"He's only using a cold weapon; we just need to keep our distance."

The barrier master slumped to the ground, stunned. The white-robed employee's words were like the last straw, leaving him feeling utterly powerless.

"You guys just don't understand!"

Unable to comprehend the enemy's strength, how could these employees possibly provide assistance sufficient to change the course of the battle?

A single shot can instantly kill a top-tier Bronze-level defensive player; aside from Silver-level players, only the Bronze-era powerhouses could accomplish this.

Each of the great powers is an absolute hegemon at that level. Only the great powers have the hope of killing each other. To make up for it with numbers, you need at least a whole player legion that works together seamlessly.

The barrier master slumped his shoulders and simply gave up resisting. In the entire Xia Guild Hall, not only in the Bronze Age, but also throughout the entire area, there was not a single being who had obtained the qualifications of a great power.

Seeing that his teammates had given up resistance, Ink Painting cursed under his breath. Most competitive dungeons have faction quest conflicts, and expecting the enemy to go easy on you for no reason is simply outrageously stupid.

The green zombie was killed instantly by a single shot, and the harpy appeared to have died from poison, but both of them bought the most crucial time.

The ink painting depicts an open-armed figure with a resolute expression.

"Everyone, stay back!"
