The dark green pollutants that tainted the river water were sprayed out from the round holes in the riverbed.
Although the pollutants were soon diluted by the flowing river water, the lingering murky green hue still worried people about the future of the river.
“Click-clack click-clack…”
Light footsteps approached from a distance, passing by the jetting chemical emissions at the bottom of the river.
Noland Lee glanced at the greenish hue in the river water and silently lamented, “Polluting the environment is shameful.”
He tried to lighten his steps as he moved northward along the underground river, putting aside his distraction and focusing on the task.
He was in the underground space in the southern part of the Legion Fortress, with the vast steam boiler room right above him.
Going from here to the north, he would pass under the steam train station, the fortress main road, and the armor workshop before reaching the area right beneath the Legion Castle.
Yes, the area directly beneath the Legion Castle.
That’s the precarious structure, always on the verge of collapse and possibly crushing the ground underneath.
Noland Lee’s biggest worry now was that he’d arrived at the castle just in time for it to collapse, bringing down the foundation and burying him alive under tons of rubble…
This worry wasn’t unique to him.
After walking for nearly 10 minutes, he stopped near the castle.
A group of unexpected humans appeared near the underground river, and they were blocking Noland Lee’s path.
“Quickly, quickly, move faster. Move all these ancient relics, and don’t leave a single one behind. We have to take everything we can carry before the castle collapses!”
The familiar, harsh female voice came from the front, passing through a distance of 30-40 meters and entering Noland Lee’s ears.
Hearing the voice, Noland raised an eyebrow, twisted his foot, and hid behind a rock.
He used the rock in front of him to shield himself and used “Tracking the Living” to see the scene not far away.
About thirty Military Intelligence Second Division soldiers were there, fully armed with plate armor, silenced short-barreled rifles, and breathing masks that filtered out poisonous gases.
Most of them were in motion.
They were running in and out of the cave entrances on the walls.
Noland took a closer look.
The soldiers were coming from deeper underground.
The cave entrance they entered seemed newly dug, with fresh soil and rubble nearby. It connected to an underground tunnel leading to the northwest. It seemed that the soldiers were transferring the ancient relics buried underground to the tunnel at an urgent pace.
As for the woman standing still and giving orders with a loud voice, it was Kasha, the female investigator of the Military Intelligence Division Two.
