Chapter 148: 91. Manual Task
Translator: 549690339
On the ground floor at the entrance of the staircase, Noland Lee leaned against
the door, peering into the castle hall with one eye through the crack.
The crystal coal lamps on the ceiling were extinguished, making the hall
completely dark and oppressive.
The undead poison fog had risen to a height of two or three meters above the
ground, pouring into the stairwell through the gaps in the door.
All the night guards who did not have time to put on gas masks fell to the ground,
lying on the marble floor of the Castle Hall, lifeless.
However, they did not rest.
As Yog passed by these victims, he activated the ritual array’s magical power. He
turned all these recently deceased people into walking dead under his control.
By the time he left the castle hall with his torrent of followers and headed for the
chaotic outdoors, there was not a single person left in the hall, not even a corpse.
Noland Lee looked down at the ground, his gaze directed towards Yog's
dormitory.
To stop Yog from forming his army of the walking dead, the ritual array in the
dormitory must be destroyed.
Theoretically, Yog could use all the corpses within 30 meters centered on his
dormitory, which was about the range from the third underground level to the
third aboveground level of the castle.
Noland Lee didn’t want to meddle in Yog's affairs.
He only hoped that the other party could draw attention away from himself.
Noland Lee withdrew his gaze, turned around, pushed aside the undead poison
fog in front of him, and walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
The ground floor stairwell had windows with transparent glass installed.
Noland Lee stopped at the stair corner, poked his head out from behind the
window, and looked at the scene outside the fortress, squinting his eyes slightly.
“It's rare for it to rain in this damn place in the Suffering Borderland...”
Since becoming a Sin Soldier, Noland Lee had been stationed in the Suffering
Borderland for more than half a month, and this was the first time he had seen
aarmzne.
Raindrops fell from the dark clouds above, passed through the spreading undead
poison fog, fell to the eaves, flowed down along the smooth steam pipelines,
dripped onto the ground, and flowed into sewer pipes.
Just during the short time Noland Lee stopped to observe, the rain rapidly
intensified from a light drizzle to a torrential downpour.
The howling gloomy wind whipped up the rainwater, hitting the window glass in
front of Noland Lee, splashing up black water droplets like blooming death water
lilies.
“Black rainwater...” Noland Lee locked his gaze on the oddly colored raindrops
and threw out his Deconstruction technique.
[System Message: You are about to launch the Deconstruction technique on
“Abnormal Rainwater.” It is estimated that 170 Energy Points will be needed to
reach a 100% Degree of Deconstruction.]
Noland Lee glanced at the system text, becoming more vigilant.
This rainwater must come from the “Abnormal Dark Clouds.”
No doubt, the Undead Cult had used a long-hidden trump card to destroy the
Legion Fortress.
“Time is running out; I'd better get moving.”
Just as Noland Lee was about to leave, he suddenly froze in his tracks, then
clenched onto the window frame, staring intently at the street outside.
The gunshots from inside the Legion Fortress were mainly coming from areas
outside the walls.
Although Noland Lee couldn't see outside the walls, from the density of the
gunshots and the frequency of the firelight flashes, the soldiers defending the city
seemed to be fighting the undead army surrounding the fortress.
Yog was leading his own walking dead troops down the street and encountered
many panicked soldiers.
As expected, his actions caused chaos. His walking dead were considered
enemies by the Imperial Soldiers and were cornered on the street before they
could even leave the city.
However, Yog and his walking dead were not killed by the soldiers.
Because, within half a minute after the rain intensified, a large group of undead
creatures covered in black contaminated water violently broke open the manhole
covers and crawled out of the sewer pipes.
The bodies of these undead creatures seemed to be made up of rainwater. They
appeared fragile, as if they could disintegrate at any moment.
With each step they took, large drops of black contaminated water fell from their
bodies, making them a little smaller in size.
But the next second, the black rainwater falling from the sky merged into their
bodies.
Their bodies swelled up in the blink of an eye, becoming stronger and taller.

“Where the hell did these guys come from!”
“Quick! Ring the alarm bell! Send an alert to the other soldiers in the city!”
“Ding ding ding-" The soldiers on the wall pulled the rope hard, ringing the alarm
bell hanging overhead.
More soldiers were awakened by the ringing of guns and alarm bells. They
rushed to put on their uniforms and entered the battlefield armed..
