Chapter 87: Chapter 67: The Secret Underneath (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Dawn Y Morning Light!)_2

Watching this happen without daring to interfere was truly maddening.

"They also contacted other units, but couldn’t get through," Xiao Baihong said.

Everyone fell silent.

Wu Xiaode suddenly felt something and looked up.

He saw the Book of the Dead flying down quickly, opening in front of him to reveal a line of ice crystal characters:

"This book has sensed an undead who harbors resentment."

"His long-standing wish is too strong, causing him to linger in this world and not depart."

"Through this wish, the book has entered into a special commission with him:

"The Secret Underneath."

"Undead narrative: My teacher and other experts all died in the depths underground. As his student, I haven’t even been able to clarify what happened down there."

"Please help me uncover the reason for the deaths of the underground scientists. If you find the answer, I will do everything in my power to repay you."

"Task Reward: Unknown."

"Would you like to take on this task?"

——Another task involving the undead.

Last time when he was here, the soldiers asked him to help hold off the monsters, allowing the people in the fifth secret passage to evacuate.

This time, he actually encountered even more undead.

Should he take on this commission?

Wu Xiaode pondered for a few moments, then suddenly recalled the talisman the captain had shown earlier.

"Captain, what did that talisman... mean?" he simply asked.

"According to our understanding of Taoist skills, it means that the lives around here are heading towards destruction, and no one can save them," the captain sighed.

"Forget about them, many of us professionals have also died, and more might die today," Sun said half-jokingly.

Wu Xiaode gave him a look.

Big brother, can you control your mouth? Do you know how you’re going to kill yourself?

He lowered his gaze, thought for a few moments, and said to the Book of the Dead:

"I accept the commission."

——There’s too little information right now.

Those who died must know something he didn’t.

He needed to cooperate with them!

The Book of the Dead vibrated.

An unusual fluctuation spread out from the book.

Wu Xiaode glanced at it and knew in his heart that the Book of the Dead was calling out to the undead who had issued the commission.

Suddenly.

A high-level officer walked over, shouting in their direction, "Engineering Corps, Second Exploration Squad?"

"Yes!" Wu Xiaode ran forward and responded.

The officer looked at him with a evaluating gaze, then at the people behind him.

"Apart from excavating, do you have any other special skills?" he asked.

Other special skills?

Wu Xiaode was startled.

The question was so sudden, he was at a loss for how to respond, completely in the dark.

"Definitely mention any key skill you’re particularly good at; get him to assign work to you, send you into the underground caves."

A voice rang out.

A semi-transparent figure appeared out of the Void beside the high-level officer.

An undead!

He too was dressed in a military uniform, lean in stature, with a scholarly appearance, and the insignia on his shoulder was identical to that of the high-ranking officer in front of him!

It seemed the one who had commissioned him was this officer!

Wu Xiaode’s expression changed as he communicated through thoughts:

"I know you want me to explore the secrets underground, but our situation is also dangerous right now. I need to ensure the team’s safety first before thinking of a way to help you explore."

The undead officer said, "I am here to assist you, listen——"

"Humans can no longer withstand the demon’s onslaught. This area has been completely overrun, and the demons will sweep through the mountains searching for humans. Your only chance for survival is to go underground."

"Move quickly to the underground, at least it’s safer than the surface!"

Wu Xiaode gasped in shock.

So that’s how it is!

He looked toward the high-level officer, only to see the officer growing impatient for the lack of response.

"Reporting to the commander, everyone in our team has some strength, and we’re proficient in combat,"

Wu Xiaode said loudly.

The high-level officer shook his head, "Strength? I see there’s a female comrade in your team—"

Wu Xiaode shot a glance at the regimental commander.

The commander knew exactly what to do.

She walked over to a trailer full of supplies and hefted it with both hands—

The two wheels of the trailer lifted off the ground.

The commander immediately put down her hands and stood up, panting continuously as if very exhausted.

Not bad at all!

Wu Xiaode silently praised.

Back when he only had three points of Soul Power, his physical fitness was already several times that of an ordinary person’s.

For the commander, whose physical fitness far surpassed 10 points of Soul Power, lifting a truck with one hand wouldn’t be too difficult.

But that would be too shocking to the world.

The current level was just right, leaving a deep impression while maintaining just slightly more strength than a normal person.

The officer commended, "Very spirited! If a female soldier has such strength, and you’re skilled in underground search and said you’re also good at fighting—"

The sniper stepped forward and saluted, "Reporting to the commander, please allow me to shoot."

"One bullet," the high-level officer said.

"Yes!"

The sniper grabbed the sniper rifle and aimed casually.

Thwap—

In the sky, a bird was shot down.

The high-level officer immediately made a decision and spoke, "You are eligible for the exploration team, indeed the cream of the crop. There’s a task to be assigned to you now, I wonder if you can complete it."

"We guarantee to complete the mission!" Wu Xiaode saluted.

"Good, I now order your team to prepare your supplies quickly and set off immediately. Take truck number two and head to the underground cave," the high-level officer said.

He handed the keys to truck number two to Wu Xiaode, then took out a bronze token, applied some seal ink, and pressed his fingerprint onto the token before solemnly handing it to Wu Xiaode.

"This token signifies that I’ve selected you to participate in the underground excavation work. When you get there, give it to the military affairs officer, and he will know how to arrange for you," the high-level officer said.

"Yes!" Wu Xiaode said.

The high-level officer nodded and hurried off.

A few team members gathered around.

"We’ve passed the test smoothly," the commander said.

"Yes, going underground is just right to find out what the humans of this world are digging for," Xiao Baihong also chimed in.

Wu Xiaode’s gaze unintentionally glanced at the Book of the Dead.

His eyes slowly moved and he saw the Undead Officer standing off to the side, curiously staring at the Book of the Dead, as if wanting to study it.

That’s not right.

"Hey, you’re already an undead, and if there’s a secret underground, you can just go and see it yourself. Why bother commissioning me?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Even undead are not allowed! There are some places I can’t enter," the Undead Officer said.

Wu Xiaode’s expression became wooden.

He remembered the Death God hanging upside down.

Could it be there are such things beneath the ground?

Damn, if it’s true, I’d rather find somewhere above ground to hide from nuclear bombs!

The next instant.

A blinding flash emerged beyond the mountains.

Boom!!!

The deafening sound of an explosion came from afar.

A mushroom cloud rose slowly.

It was a nuclear bomb!
