Chapter 288: 120. There’s a big difference in repression_5

The elite Aberration at the front roared loudly, gathering the Aberrations from the 19th underground layer and then leading the team to charge towards the staircase sluice gate connecting to the 18th underground layer.

One metal gate after another was smashed to pieces, and during this time, many Aberrations were crushed into pulp by their own kind from behind.

The death of their own kind didn’t stop the Aberrations’ rampage.

They rushed into the 16th and 15th underground layers, and crazily struck the metal gate leading to the 14th underground layer, even though the ones at the front had already been crushed into mud, but they wouldn’t stop at nothing.

The Aberrations went mad and were driven mad by human intervention.

Noland Lee coughed softly and said to the security personnel, who were staring at the ceiling around him:

“Mates, do you hear the commotion downstairs?”

“Huh?”

“What commotion?”

The security personnel lowered their heads in confusion and listened carefully.

Noland Lee felt a little helpless…

This Fissure Corridor had excellent quality, and its soundproofing effect was far better than that of a paper-thin room.

“Alright, mates, it’s not a bad thing if you can’t hear the noise from below. Now, everyone listens up and leaves this place,” Noland Lee ordered solemnly, his face turned towards the bewildered security personnel, emphasizing his words:

“Everyone, leave! I’ll stay here by myself. If you don’t want to die, go back to the 10th underground layer. Hurry up!’

Noland Lee waved his arms, pulling up the security personnel who were still sitting there:

“Don’t stand there! Run! The Aberrations from below are coming up! Run!”

The security personnel hesitated, their actions sluggish, but the next second, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly ran away without being urged by Noland Lee.

“Bang!”

There was an explosion from the metal gate leading downstairs, and the clear outline of the Aberrations appeared on the door.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

All the metal gates leading to the lower levels were echoing with terrifying loud noises!

The continuous noises became more intense with each passing moment. The Aberrations in each stairwell seemed to be competing, putting in their full force to crash those doors.

“Ah! I saw the silhouette of a Devourer on the door! Mates, retreat!”

“It’s really a Devourer! And a Seeder!”

“Retreat! Retreat!”

The security personnel at the scene didn’t bother to pick up their firearms and alchemy traps; they just took off running.

It was no joke; those were Devourers and Seeders! Even a fully armed First-order Alchemist might not be able to defeat them!

It would be best if their ordinary gunman group didn’t join the commotion!

Thank goodness the captain arranged a wizard for us!

The security personnel turned their heads to look at Noland Lee, who was standing alone in the corridor, each giving him a thumbs up:

“Dude! Awesome! You’re not even running!”

“Is a wizard this powerful? I want to be a wizard too!”

The praise from the security personnel fell into Noland Lee’s ears, making him feel somewhat helpless and noisy.

Just go, brothers, just go.

If you don’t go, how am I supposed to activate my skills?

Am I supposed to perform a corpse transformation in front of you all?

“Boom-”

The first Aberration that entered the 14th underground layer ran headlong into an alchemy landmine set up by the security personnel.

The flash of fire, the gush of flames, and the blast wave made the corners of Noland Lee’s clothes flutter loudly.

As soon as the security personnel heard the explosion, they immediately panicked and ran even faster.

“Don’t forget to take the metal gate with you!” Noland Lee yelled at them as they disappeared from the view.

The security personnel waved their arms, giving him admiring glances:

“No more words, mate! You’re awesome! When we get back to the ground level, I’ll definitely buy you a drink!”

Finally, the group of ordinary people who could only drag Noland Lee down all left. Before leaving, they didn’t forget to help Noland Lee with the metal gate.

At this point, Noland Lee was the only one left in Sector 8’s 14th underground layer.

Noland Lee took a deep breath, activating “Breath of the Dead” and “Magic Shield”, transforming himself into a dead person without breath and heartbeat.

Several elite Aberrations charged into the corridor and immediately fixed their eyes on Noland Lee standing in the middle of the road.

They raised their heads towards the stiff “dead person” and opened and closed their petal-shaped mouthparts as if sniffing the scents in the air, trying to identify what exactly he was.

Noland Lee knew that now was not the time to save Energy Points.

He pulled up the spell list, selected “Breath of the Dead,” and invested 350 Energy Points in one go, raising the level of “Breath of the Dead” to 10!
