Chapter 271: 118. Mysterious Connection

Translator: 549690339

Spray Powder Day arrived.

A deep rumble emerged from the depths beneath the ground, like the sounds of countless wild horses running on the cliffs ot the Great Rift.

With a deafening explosion, the sky was filled with black metal dust pouring out of the Great Rift.

They turned into dozens of black smoke pillars, more than ten meters wide, shooting up into the sky, heading straight for the azure heavens and the large and small suns.

The ascent of the black smoke pillars quickly faded, drawing arcs in the air, falling towards Lower Town’s various sectors in a parabolic trajectory.

Already waiting on the ground, the powder collection devices opened their horn-shaped collectors, operating at full capacity, absorbing the all-purpose metal powder as it descended from the sky.

For a time, hundreds of vortex-shaped black clouds appeared around the Great Rift, and numerous large, dense powder blocks were pulled away by the powder collection devices.

The lightweight metal dust drifted with the wind, flying to various parts of Lower Town, and then slowly sinking under the influence of gravity.

Alchemy devices dispersing fumes appeared in the alleys and streets.

The water mist met with the metal dust, helping each other condense quickly into black contaminated water, reducing air pollution.

Carbonated water rich in all-purpose metal dust slid down from the eaves and walls, flowed on the ground in the troughs, and entered the underground waterways.

Already waiting at the first and second underground layers, the members of the extraordinary forces were greeted with an exciting moment.

Guarding their own underground waterways and stopping hostile forces from attempting to destroy them would earn them rewards from their factions.

At the end of Spray Powder Day, the more metallic powder the water storage devices in the underground waterways collected, the more rewards the personnel participating in guarding the waterways would receive.

Such generous remuneration attracted all those eager to make a fortune in a short time.

In Iron Thorn Shield Security Firm, all security team members who wanted to accumulate wealth in a short period of time volunteered to participate in the task of guarding the first and second underground layers.

At this time, within the underground waterway area of Sector 7, Kent and Mark each led a team to guard the second and first underground layers, respectively.

And on the third underground level, there was only Noland Lee guarding it.

He carried a backpack with an added folding space, moving around the entrances of various staircases, placing inconspicuous metal boxes in hidden corners.

Every time he put down a metal box, he took out broken stones and sand from the folding space, spread it on these metal boxes, and disguised them as a pile of useless sandstones.

In the third underground layer, there were six staircases leading to the fourth and second underground layers, with metal gates at each entrance.

There were two passage entrances leading to neighboring Sectors 6 and 8, also with metal gates.

Together, there were eight metal gates that Noland needed to guard.
