Deconstruction wizard

Chapter 9 9. Gaze of the Dead

At the end of the stairs is an artificial metal gate.

This door cuts off the path between the stairwell and the basement level.

Ideally, the metal gate would block the air flow inside and outside the door, and block the poisonous gas emitted by the undead creatures in the tomb passage of the catacomb.

But now, there are signs of corrosion on the metal gate.

There are a large number of tassel-like corrosion lines on the door cracks and door hinges.

Slight traces of yellow-green poisonous gas are coming out of these damaged places, flowing upwards along the aisle in the stairwell.

Sergeant Myers held the coal lamp and shone it on the door panel.

A faint but somewhat dazzling light reflected from the corroded place.

".The corroded area is very smooth and there are no burrs. It should have appeared in the last ten or so days."

Sergeant Myers muttered something.

He turned his head and looked at the corporal behind him:

"When was the last time this door was overhauled?"

The corporal took out a diary and flipped through the pages to find the exact date:
"Sir, the last inspection was 21 days ago."

Sergeant Marrs nodded thoughtfully:
"Well, that is to say, just a few days after our overhaul, this door was corroded by the poisonous mist behind the door. It seems that there are a lot of undead on the basement floor."

He took out the key of the metal gate, inserted it into the lock hole to unlock the lock, and then grabbed the door handle with both hands:
"Guys, get ready, I'm going to open the metal gate. Sinner 888, come and help me pull the gate open. Remember, after opening the gate, you can't back up without my permission. No matter what happens, You can just keep going or stand where you are."

"Yes, sir."

Li Nuo held the doorknob, his heart beating slightly faster.

He had a bad feeling that the scene behind the door might be a little unexpected.

The heavy metal gate was opened by the soldiers together.

A coal lamp was stuffed in Li Nuo's hand by the soldiers.

Urged by the soldiers' eyes, he stepped into the dark space without light.

As soon as he stepped into the tomb passage on the basement level, the light from the coal lamp was further compressed.

Li Nuo fiddled with the pick to adjust the brightness, then shook his head helplessly.

This ghostly place seems to reject the light.

Even if he turned up the brightness of the coal lamp to the highest level, the light could only hover within one meter of the surrounding space.

Li Nuo could only move forward under conditions that were almost in the dark.

The cold air in the air became thicker, and the billowing cold air penetrated into the criminal soldier's uniform, and swam against Li Nuo's skin, causing him to shiver.

This is a kind of coldness that can penetrate the armor and the body and directly act on the soul, as cold as it can take away all hope and vitality of the living.

Li Nuo gritted his teeth and walked forward bravely.

From the moment he stepped into the metal gate, his deconstruction skills have not been broken.

He couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he could only rely on the information fed back by the system to judge what he passed by.

[System message: You are about to deconstruct the "ancient floor tiles"]

[System news: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on the "old wall lamp"]

[System message: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on the "recovering skeleton"]

Wait, reanimated skeletons? Li Nuo stopped in his tracks and listened attentively.

A few meters ahead, there was a very faint movement.

"Crack, click." It was like the sound of fingers touching the ribs.

[System message: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on "undead creature with unknown name"]

An undead creature has appeared, where is it?
Li Nuo opened his eyes wide, held up the coal lamp in his hand, and stretched his arms as far as possible, so that the light could shine farther away.

What the hell is this!
Li Nuo froze, his eyes were blank.

I saw a huge skeleton slowly standing up from the floor full of bones.

The skeleton shelf is at least four meters high, like a towering bone sculpture.

When it stood up, the whitewashed stone powder slid off its body, exposing the surface of the bone covered with scars.

The light of the coal lamp shone on the forehead of the skull frame, reflecting an incomparably cold light, and Li Nuo couldn't help shivering.

In the skull of this skeleton shelf, a purple light cluster lights up, as if implying that the undead creature is waking up from a deep sleep.

The brightness of the light group was much worse than that of the coal lamp. It seemed that it would take some time before this ominous creature would fully wake up.

However, Li Nuo could already feel the other party's gaze.

The huge skeleton was staring at him.

Li Nuo forced himself to calm down.

He looked back in the direction of the door.

Sergeant Mars and others were looking at the enemy solemnly, and did not issue an order for Li Nuo to retreat.

Seeing that Li Nuo flinched, one of them shouted:
"Stand still and don't move! That's a big skeleton, a low-level undead structure."

The short-barreled rifles in the hands of the soldiers seemed to be pointing at the undead creatures, and seemed to be aiming at the criminal soldiers' backs.

Seeing this picture, Li Nuo knew that his most difficult moment was coming.

It is the role of the reconnaissance team to find out the number and composition of the enemy.

For this reason, the soldiers must use the biochemical bait on the criminal soldiers to awaken the undead creatures in the underground layer of the tomb as much as possible.

This large skeleton with a height of more than four meters was just one of the first batch of undead creatures to be revived, and it was far from meeting the standard for finding out the enemy's strength.

Soldiers must wait until more and more undead creatures are revived before they can estimate the total number of enemy troops on the basement floor.

Only then will the criminal soldiers be allowed to retreat.

Instead of pinning their hopes on Sergeant Mars' order to retreat in advance, it is better to turn the situation around by their own ability.

After thinking quickly, Li Nuo found two solutions.

First option:
Solve the problem of the smell of biochemical bait.

As long as the biochemical bait doesn't smell, the number of revived undead creatures will continue to decrease, and their chances of survival will increase.

But this will make the awakening of the undead creatures less than expected, which will attract soldiers' scrutiny.Sergeant Myers may also have a bad heart.

Second option:
Find out the weaknesses and attack patterns of undead creatures, and survive the opponent's offensive.

Li Nuo thinks this plan is better.

It's more stealthy than the first option and won't attract unwanted attention.

With a conclusion in mind, Li Nuo immediately said silently:

"Activate the deconstruction technique, deconstruct this undead creature, and find out its weaknesses for me!"

[System message: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on the "Big Skeleton".It is estimated that every 1 point of energy consumed can increase the completion of deconstruction by 25%.You currently have 10 energy points.Are you sure to deconstruct? 】

Most of the existing energy values ​​are naturally recovered during the passage of time.

As long as you pay about half of the inventory, you can get all the information of the big skull.

Li Nuo looked at the bright purple light clusters in the big skull's eye sockets, and no longer hesitated.

"Confirm that 4 points of energy are consumed, and the deconstruction is 100% complete!"
