Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 87 Each Shows Their Skills
The squad leader just said that the dungeon has five levels in total. The first and second levels have the most corrupted monsters, but they are relatively weak and easy to clear.

Tell them not to go to the fourth or fifth floor, as there are high-level corrupted monsters there that ordinary warriors cannot handle; survival is the priority.

You can get some supplies at the first-level guard post. If you need help, you can find the team with the Sashara City emblem.

The group slowly stepped into the first level of the underground city. They expected to find a dark, gloomy, and bloody post-war scene, but to their surprise, they saw a special device illuminating the entire space.

However, this "light" did not make them feel relaxed or at ease. The sight of the densely packed, polluted monsters in front of them made some of them feel a chill run down their spines.

This entrance may not have been cleaned by many people. Hearing the noise, some of the corrupted monsters boldly rushed forward to attack.

Gao Leyu took out his psionic gun and killed the kangaroo-like contaminated monster that lunged at him.

"There was no system announcement, and there were no gold coin rewards or accumulated kill points for clearing the polluted monsters here."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhixing said:
"The rewards for completing the tasks issued by the game system are likely to be very generous. Clearing out the monsters is secondary; our main goal is to find out the location of the deputy city lord."

Pomegranate: "Let's clear out the monsters here first, otherwise we'll have nowhere to go."

After saying that, he took out a light-energy whip, swung it forcefully, and the whip emitted an electric current that instantly killed four monsters.

The commotion attracted a large Tier 1 Corruption monster, which was as tall as two people.

Its body was covered in mottled, putrid scales that shimmered with a nauseating eerie light under the lamp. Its head was twisted, and its blood-red vertical pupils revealed brutality and bloodlust. It kept emitting low roars, as if demonstrating against the intruders.

"So arrogant, hey, take this shot."

Gao Leyu fired three shots directly into the opponent's pupils, causing the gunpowder to explode instantly. Hua Xinyan felt nauseous at the sight, especially since the entire underground city, despite having air circulation devices, was filled with so many polluted monsters that it didn't smell very pleasant.

Huo Zhixing took out several filter masks from his system backpack and distributed them to everyone.

"Smelling the stench for too long can affect your condition and also easily cause odor pollution. Please pay more attention to this."

Yuanqiao put on the mask and did feel a bit better. After thanking everyone, he looked at the others.

The name "Grade A protective suit" isn't given lightly; it's resistant to corrosion, pollution, bloodstains, and gases, and doesn't feel stuffy even after wearing it for a long time.

Apart from Shiliu and Hua Xinyan, everyone else was wearing protective suits sold by their own company. Shiliu's suit looked like a combat suit, but Hua Xinyan was still wearing a regular temperature-controlled white dress at this time.

Yuanqiao said he didn't understand and didn't want to remind him.

She drew her lightsaber and activated its azure blade. With lightning speed, she charged into the monster horde, each swing of her sword incredibly sharp. The hard scales of the ordinary, corrupted monsters were sliced ​​open like paper, splattering out dark red, foul blood.

The others also began to show their skills. Jiang Yiyi actually used magic-based attacks. She condensed an energy ball that looked like fire but wasn't fire, and smashed it into the monster, causing it to explode and cause damage.

There are too many monsters, and they are very densely packed, so the margin for error is very high.

There was no need for them to hide their special abilities; those with skills were all using them.

Only Hua Xinyan kept muttering that she was scared, hiding in the back and just watching everyone else expend their energy.

This behavior displeased Xiao Cheng, who was usually taciturn and rarely spoke; his ability was related to gravity.

The blatant application of gravity directly and openly pressed down on the rather round, bear-like contaminated monster, knocking it to the ground.

Shi Liu swung her whip to help, and the round, polluted monster rolled right to Hua Xinyan's feet.

"what--"

Hua Xinyan: "What are you doing!" Shi Liu: "We saw you were too idle, so we sent you a monster to play with."

Hua Xinyan wanted to complain to Huo Zhixing. He had only just begun and he was already harming his teammates. This behavior was too much. She reasonably suspected that Shiliu was taking revenge for personal reasons.

She called out to Captain Huo several times, but he didn't turn around or respond. Instead, he was focused on dealing with a large monster.

Once the bear-like monster was no longer weighed down by gravity, it tried to get up and swat at the human, instinctively wanting to tear her body apart.

Fearing for her life, she took out a scepter weapon. After activating it, a stream of water appeared from the energy bead at the top of the scepter, binding the monster.

Although he was still hesitant, he started participating in clearing the monsters and stopped complaining about being scared and needing help.

Many ordinary Rank 0 monsters darted around like ghosts, small in stature yet exceptionally agile. Some resembled rodent-like, polluted monsters, surrounded by a faint black mist. The foul blood they shed after being injured by skills possessed a strong corrosive ability, leaving black, corrosive marks on the ground wherever they went.

None of them were weak, and the weapons they used were all very powerful.

Currently, monsters below level 3 cannot harm them. As long as they take proper precautions, they can generally keep the pollution level around 2%.

It took the group more than an hour to clear the area.

The corpses of the slain monsters were piled up on the ground. Gao Leyu took out an energy battery to charge the psionic gun.

"My arm ached terribly from holding the gun and firing continuously."

Yuanqiao: "Then let's fight monsters in melee."

Gao Leyu immediately adopted a weak stance: "That won't do. I'm the team's healer, I can't be so rough. I can only help from behind by taking some sneaky shots~"

She even tried to lean against Anmuya next to her, to show that she was a very weak nanny.

Yuanqiao rolled his eyes and pulled Anmuya, who was smiling, over.

"What should we do with these corpses? If left unchecked, this black mist will nurture a powerful fusion-corruption monster."

Xiao Cheng spoke in a muffled voice.

Huo Zhixing frowned. In the past, quests in dungeons similar to cleaning up contaminated monsters would give NPCs a teleportation bag for disposing of corpses, which would be recycled after the quest was completed.

The squad leader didn't give us any tools for dealing with monster corpses, nor did he explain what to do.

"The fact that they didn't remind us of this means that they didn't see it as a problem."

Jiang Yiyi: "Look at the wall!"

Everyone turned their gaze to the surrounding walls. It was a spacious hall, and there were still some scattered monsters leaping in from various doors and rushing into the piles of monster corpses.

Mysterious runes suddenly lit up on the wall, emitting a soft yet eerie light that gradually intensified, as if slowly awakening.

The light from the runes gradually spread, weaving into a vast and complex net of light that slowly enveloped the monster's corpse on the ground. The corpses touched by the net of light were drawn by this invisible yet powerful force and began to slowly dissolve.

Even the filter mask couldn't block the pungent smell of blood and decay.

After a short while, the corpses seemed to evaporate, turning into wisps of foul-smelling smoke that rose into the air.
