I have an eye of truth

With the City Lord's order, the guards blocking the way didn't stop them and directly let them pass.

"There are so many people. I heard they're going to try to reopen the connection channel. Maybe they'll actually succeed. But even if they do, it might just be taken away again later."

"Keep your voice down. These are all very powerful people, especially the ones at the front. They're extremely strong."

A soldier behind them lowered his voice and said, "I heard they've developed Inhibitor No. 23, specifically for dealing with blade-legged insects. If this potion really works, we might be able to reclaim our lost territory."

Reclaiming lost territory was a dream for many. Even though the fifteenth level was extremely chaotic, many surrounding areas had been under their control for a long time. This time, the City Lord directly abandoned it, which many soldiers found hard to understand.

Even if they were safe, many soldiers had relatives and friends outside suffering.

If the City Lord wasn't suppressing them, many of them would probably have stayed outside. In fact, unknowingly, the City Lord's prestige in their hearts had declined a lot.

If someone could solve these problems now, taking down the City Lord wouldn't be difficult.

The ridiculous thing is that the City Lord is still immersed in his own fantasies and hasn't even considered the possibility of losing his position. Perhaps he still thinks he's done a great deed by protecting the city.

At this time, Wang Yang and the others didn't care about any of this. They led their people into the restricted area. On the ground, there were still many corpses of blade-legged insects, all shot and killed from a distance.

These weren't Armored Wood Beasts. Ordinary bullets were effective against blade-legged insects.

It's just a pity that the lethality wasn't that strong, so they could only use bullets to overwhelm them.

"This wound is very unusual," Wang Yang suddenly said, noticing a wound on a blade-legged insect. It had been made on the hardest carapace, pierced through with one shot, and probably wasn't caused by any special ability.

He Yingxue glanced at it and said, "This was caused by a laser gun. The trajectory is almost a straight line, and the power is strong. It's a standard weapon. It's just difficult to manufacture. I didn't expect the city to have them."

Now, He Yingxue was even more disgusted with the City Lord. Having such a powerful weapon like a laser gun, yet still cowering in the city and not daring to restore the connection channel, couldn't just be described as cowardly.

"Can we get our hands on one? This thing might be effective."

He Yingxue rolled her eyes. "We can get one, and the price is negotiable, although it's quite expensive. But the problem is, how are you going to get the bullets and energy? The bullets for laser guns are custom-made and require a huge amount of energy to support them. We don't have that much logistics. Besides, the firing rate of a laser gun is very slow. Can you handle that?"

A slow firing rate would be fatal. Wang Yang usually used sniper rifles like machine guns.

Sniper rifles were already slow enough. Each shot from a laser gun required preparation, time for the bullet to accelerate. If the speed was slow, it would be easier to just do it himself.

However, Wang Yang was also a little wary. This level actually had such powerful technological weapons.

If an enemy used this thing against him, it would be really dangerous.

Fortunately, the insects didn't use tools. Insectoid Awakened Ones basically focused on modifying themselves and didn't develop these technological weapons much. Otherwise, the danger would be much higher.

No, he still needed to continue strengthening his defense.

Wang Yang valued his own life safety more than anything else. Others might have a fear of insufficient firepower, but Wang Yang definitely had a fear of insufficient defense.

The group continued to move forward. The underground passage initially looked normal. But later, something felt wrong because there were damages above, with holes appearing one after another.

Some holes were very large, allowing them to see the sunlight above.

From time to time, a blade-legged insect would fall in or crawl in on its own. When they saw people, they would rush over to attack. However, with so many people here, the blade-legged insects were just offering themselves up.

Wang Yang and the others didn't even need to take action. Others took care of it. They applied the potion to their weapons, and as long as it hit, even a slight graze would cause the blade-legged insect to lose its fighting ability, making it easy to kill afterwards.

Those adventurers who had prepared for a tough battle suddenly found that the fighting was actually so easy, much better than they had imagined.

"Keep up, start repairing the holes."

Following an order from behind, the repair vehicle followed the others. After the blade-legged insects inside the holes were killed, the repair vehicle sprayed some gray liquid. The gray liquid quickly solidified when it came into contact with air.

After spraying for a while, the surface of a hole was sealed up. These were all special materials.

It was somewhat similar to cement, but it was more convenient to use, and the hardness was much stronger than cement. Otherwise, this place would have been dug through by various insects long ago.

But the blade-legged insects being able to do this was already not easy.

Now Wang Yang also knew why he always saw patches upon patches inside these caves. It wasn't because of the design style, but because of the previous repairs. Some repaired areas were even quickly dug through again, several times over.

"The most severely damaged area is ahead. Everyone, be careful."

A staff member following behind said. These weren't soldiers because the City Lord didn't allow any soldiers to come out.

These were all retired soldiers, so they were more knowledgeable about these things. Although they were older, they definitely had a lot of experience. They were also driving the repair vehicle. Ordinary people wouldn't know how to use this thing.

"Prepare the spraying equipment," Zi Qing directly ordered.

Two water spray trucks behind them moved forward, following them.

Sure enough, the damage ahead was severe. The entire ceiling was gone, completely a large gap, and they could clearly see the sky. Below, a large number of blade-legged insects were gathered here.

There were also many insect eggs and small blade-legged insects. This had simply become an insect nest.

If it wasn't for the City Lord's insistence on having his own way, the situation wouldn't have become like this. On the ground, the rails used for the track vehicles were directly destroyed, and there was also a vehicle wreck next to them.

A large number of bones were scattered around, probably the people who had been killed by these blade-legged insects. Even the bones of these people were incomplete, with bite marks on them. Seeing these, Wang Yang also began to feel angry.

No matter what, he was still a human after all.

"Take action," Zi Qing waved her hand. Before those blade-legged insects could rush over, the two water spray trucks began spraying.
