Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: 7. Biochemical Bait (1/2)

early the next morning.

the transition between day and night in the suffering borderland is not very obvious.

the sky at sunrise is almost as dark as before dawn, just with clearer clouds in the sky.

noland lee pretended to recite translations last night until late night, finally going to sleep amidst corporal mars’ yawns.

he dreamed of catching a charming demon, one of those from the japanese series.

he accumulated a lot of energy points, and used them all to deconstruct the charming demon.

just as he was about to get the mysterious elixirs from the demon, the loud whistles in the camp shattered his beautiful dream.

noland lee could only get up bitterly, put on his clothes, and eat hard noodles for breakfast with his panda eyes.

corporal mars lifted the curtain and walked in, placing a set of relatively clean clothes on noland lee’s bedside table:

“after breakfast, hurry up and put on this armored clothing. it provides some necessary protection and is much more reliable than your sin soldier uniform. be quick, we’re leaving soon.”

“yes, chief officer.” noland lee asked:

“where are we going?”

corporal mars moved to sit next to a chair, pulled out a roll of cigarette and sniffed it, but did not light it:

“we’re going to war against the undead army. the battlefield is grave no.1079. oh, i’ve been there twice before, a full three-layer underground grave vault, each level with a huge area. this battle is definitely going to last all day.”

noland lee nodded silently, glanced at the roll of cigarettes in the other’s hand, and then lowered his head to gnaw on the bread.

what was bound to come would come, just unexpectedly soon. ah yes, the pun was intended.

“jarvis, let me remind you.”

corporal mars leaned forward and said solemnly:

“in our army, only sergeant alvin stafford and i know about intelligence department 4’s experimental plan. only we know your identity”

and the tall and slightly plump 19-year-old girl, she also knows my identity and mission… noland lee interjected in his heart.

corporal mars did not know noland’s thoughts and continued:

“you’re about to act with my squad. my teammates don’t know about your special mission, they’ll just think you’re an ordinary sin soldier. you understand what i mean, right?

“they might be…well, rude and not take you seriously. just don’t take it to heart. once you complete your mission, you’ll naturally gain their respect. besides, i’ll try my best to look after you during the battles and not let you die for no reason.”

“thank you, chief officer.” noland lee sincerely nodded.

after eating, changing clothes and preparing to leave with the army.

noland lee met corporal mars’s squad members, five private second class soldiers and one corporal.

just as corporal mars said, the squad members didn’t treat noland lee nicely.

however, they couldn’t help but take a few looks at noland lee, attracted by his handsome face three times more good-looking than ordinary people…

ah ha, this damned charm~ it’s universally lethal to both men and women..

this should be the most useful thing left behind by the original master.

…

tomb no.1079 is located about two kilometers west of the campsite.

it has a majestic and historical tomb entrance.

this entrance is composed of a stone arch made of square stone bricks, supplemented by a large number of ground tiles and walls covered in mysterious carvings.

upon entering this gloomy place, the light immediately darkened several degrees.

the sunlight outside seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to illuminate the area inside the entrance.

the flame from the coal lamp was also compressed and flattened by the mysterious force at the same time, reducing its brightness from illuminating a ten-meter radius to only illuminating a five to six-meter range.

if noland lee were an expert in the field of mysterious studies, he would certainly be able to express some opinions on this peculiar optical phenomenon.

but unfortunately, he is not.
