141: Accept the mission! Head to the underground station!

[Opportunity Mission: Help the Departed Soul fulfill its wish and perform a ritual of salvation for it. You will receive Mist Points and a rare quality living resource Treasure Chest as rewards! You will also receive the Departed Soul's inheritance!]

[Warning: You can choose to reject this mission! Doing so might cause you to suffer an attack from the Departed Soul!]

"Huh? This mission is somewhat different from previous ones!"

Upon seeing this, Su Lie's heart stirred, and he immediately accepted: "Alright! I'll help you!"

The sound rang out.

A chilling tremor came from the eye of obsession, and Su Lie heard a voice choked with joy: "Thank you! Thank you! I hope you can kill the Ghost King and compensate for the mistake I made back then!"

"Where is Underground Station No. 4? Also, can you tell me about this ruin?"

Su Lie stood up. Holding the eye of obsession, he turned his head to look around.

Gunshots continued to ring out above the ruined city.

The gunmen from the Shelter were still carrying out cleanup operations targeting the monsters in the city ruins.

The Departed Soul replied through the eye of obsession: "It's right behind this collapsed building! You can take a detour down another street to get there! Or you can climb over the ruins!"

Hearing this, Su Lie called out to the Little Skeletons of the Exploration Team and turned to walk toward the adjacent building.

Upon observation.

He found that the bottom two floors of the collapsed building blocking the road had not yet fallen.

Taking a detour or climbing the ruins was too troublesome and time-consuming.

It was better to just break through the wall directly.

Led by Su Lie, he quickly used his fists to break through wall after wall, finally emerging from inside the adjacent building to the other side of the collapsed ruins.

When Su Lie arrived on the roadway.

There were still some decaying car wrecks on the road here.

Seeing the modern facilities, a strange feeling arose in Su Lie's heart.

At this moment, the Departed Soul in the eye of obsession broke its silence and revealed some intelligence about the ruins: "I am a Survivor from the previous cycle. When we explored this city, it looked like it had only recently entered the disaster!"

They obtained a large amount of resources by hunting zombies and exploring supermarkets, stores, and residential homes.

Later, due to a teammate's betrayal, the squad fell apart.

The Departed Soul's female companion also died during the internal conflict.

The Departed Soul greatly regretted this.

Because the person who betrayed the team and caused the internal strife was none other than his sworn brother.

That person not only killed his female companion but also plotted to kill him.

"Later, before I died, I opened the Gate of the Underworld, drawing endless undead from the Underworld here!"

The Departed Soul said coldly: "Although the traitor died, he coincidentally turned into a fierce ghost! Over the years, he gradually grew into the Ghost King!"

"I am formed by obsession and cannot separate from the eye of obsession for long! I can only rely on your hands for revenge!"

"To be honest, I've been in a daze these past years, mostly in a state of deep sleep, so I don't know much about the changes in the city!"

"But I know the location of the Gate of the Underworld! And in the oasis in the central area of the city, there are water sources and plants necessary for Survivors to live!"

Listening to the Departed Soul's voice.

Su Lie silently frowned slightly.

He did not get much useful intelligence from the Departed Soul's answer.

Moreover, he had just come from the Gravity Oasis area.

That area had already lost most of its survival resources yesterday due to the disaster and the insect swarm.

After all this time, the Gate of the Underworld should be out of energy, right?

Even if he obtained it, what good would it do?

Release ghosts?

Just then.

His Exploration Hint once again jumped into view.

[Exploration Hint: The sloping downward passage ahead leads directly into Underground Station No. 4. Entering from here will reduce the danger you encounter by 10%!]

Su Lie looked up and indeed found a sloping downward passage about 2 meters wide.

However.

There were large concrete blocks covering the steps of this passage.

To enter the subway station from here, he would have to crouch down and crawl through the gaps.

The Little Skeleton, however, did not need to do this.

"Let's go this way!"

Su Lie took the lead and climbed into the ruins.

After briefly recounting its story and the information it possessed, the Departed Soul fell silent.

Crash!

Soon.

Su Lie led the Little Skeletons underground.

This was an underground rail tunnel, and the passage still had many signs remaining.

There were some scattered white bones on the platform.

It seemed this was a small station.

The Little Skeletons timely brought out the God-tier moonlight pearl.

The surroundings became bright.

Su Lie quickly found his direction, and he led the Little Skeletons along the tracks toward the subway station.

At the same time, using his Talent, Yin-Yang Eyes, he saw the Vengeful Spirits wandering in the dark subway tunnel far away.

These Vengeful Spirits varied in form and were all in a state of numb stupor.

With Su Lie's arrival.

These Vengeful Spirits "woke up" from their stupor.

Su Lie also saw through his passive Skill, Monster Prompt.

These Vengeful Spirits were all Level 15 monsters.

"Execute Plan 2!"

While speaking, Su Lie took out the Mist Pistol, aimed it at the dozen or so Vengeful Spirits rapidly floating toward him, and pulled the trigger.

Plan 2 was for Su Lie to handle the enemies head-on, while the Little Skeletons provided cover and repelled enemies from the left, right, and rear.

The command was issued.

The Little Skeletons split into four small teams facing the left, right, and rear, counterattacking the Vengeful Spirits emerging from those three directions.

Bang!

In an instant, a pale green ball of light shot out rapidly.

The Vengeful Spirit floating at the very front was hit instantly.

In that instant, it melted into specks of light, completely vanishing without a trace.

A level 1 monster crystal turned into light and was automatically recovered into the magazine of the Mist Pistol in Su Lie's hand.

"The power of the Soul Dissolving Bullet really is impressive!"

Although Su Lie was satisfied with the effect of the new Skill, he was also full of regret: "Too bad no Treasure Chest dropped!"

He pulled the trigger again.

Clang!

Another Vengeful Spirit was killed, and a glowing red Treasure Chest dropped from its body.

The Departed Soul in the eye of obsession trembled slightly, and then it discovered with horror that the Treasure Chests Su Lie dropped after killing the Vengeful Spirits were all god-tier treasure chests.

"Hiss! Brother! Is this your Talent? It's too monstrous! How can they all be god-tier treasure chests?"

The Departed Soul couldn't help but ask in shock.

This completely overturned its understanding.

It also couldn't help but exclaim: "If I had a Talent like this back then! Wouldn't those major organizations and powers treat me like an ancestor!"

Su Lie did not respond to the Departed Soul's question. He walked up to the first Treasure Chest and used the Eye of Identification to look at the Treasure Chest's panel.

[basic resource treasure chest: Red God-level Quality; You can randomly obtain one of three basic resources: wood, Stone, or iron. The quantity of the three resources ranges between 10 million and 100 million units.]

"Good!"

Su Lie smiled, collecting the Treasure Chests on the ground one by one.

Although the drop rate of his Basic Resource Chest Drop Talent was only 50%.

This time, however, he killed a total of 26 monsters but obtained a full 24 Treasure Chests.

His luck was definitely not bad.

Consequently, his experience points increased by 52.

"Continue advancing at this speed!"

Su Lie issued the command to the Little Skeleton again.

Soon.

Su Lie saw a section of a rusted railway engineering vehicle overturned on the tracks.

After killing the dozen or so Vengeful Spirits wandering nearby.

He immediately arranged for the Little Skeleton to investigate the vehicle.

A few minutes later.

The Little Skeleton carried down a box of iron nails.

Based on the iron nameplate on the box, it could be determined that this box contained a full 200,000 iron nails.

"Hmm? Brand new, oil-sealed iron nails?"

Su Lie smiled and gave the Little Skeleton a thumbs-up. He stored the iron nails in the ruyi pouch.

The 14 god-tier treasure chests that had just dropped were also put into the pouch along with them.

Su Lie looked up at the darkness ahead and once again took out the mountain-viewing jade mirror.

Through the mountain-viewing jade mirror, he could see that in the area about 1 kilometer away, there was a large amount of active life.

This life included not only Vengeful Spirits and fierce ghosts but also some mutated zombies, Lickers, and zombie dogs.

"Huh?"

Su Lie quickly noticed something unusual: "Plan 4!"
