I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Alice was already inside, hanging something on her belt.

At this moment, she was wearing a black leather armor, her short golden hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she exuded a sharp aura.

When she saw Lu Yuan come in, she simply nodded as a greeting.

Old Morgan walked to the table and pointed to the supplies laid out on it:

"These are supplies provided by the Ascension Society and the Church. They just arrived. Please choose what you like."

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over them.

The table was covered with all sorts of things: alchemical grenades, specially made alchemical bullets, Molotov cocktails, holy water, holy silver daggers... and several scrolls of sacred scriptures.

Grayish-white text appeared in the field of vision, displaying the characteristics of these items one by one.

Lu Yuan glanced at them, picked out a few alchemical grenades and hung them on his waist, and then took a handful of alchemical bullets and put them into his ammunition pouch.

Finally, Lu Yuan's gaze fell on the Molotov cocktails. Unlike the ones he had seen in the sewers before, these bottles were filled with an orange-red liquid, and tiny sparks could be seen moving inside when they were shaken.

[Item Analysis: Enchantment: Molotov Cocktail (Marine Use)]

【Features: Specially formulated for use on the sea surface; the flames will not be easily extinguished by seawater】

[Deals extra damage to deep-sea mutated creatures]

Lu Yuan took two bottles and carefully put them into his backpack.

He then hung a blessing amulet around his neck and applied a layer of purifying holy oil to the dagger.

Alice had already made her selections and was standing aside waiting.

After the two finished making their selections, old Morgan beckoned to Lu Yuan, signaling him to come to the side.

Seeing this, Alice became curious and followed.

Old Morgan took a small wooden box from his pocket, opened the lid, and inside lay two deep red spheres.

The sphere emitted a faint light, and it looked quite powerful.

"This is a complete exorcism gunpowder."

Morgan's expression turned serious.

"It's different from the regular one you used in Thorn Manor."

Lu Yuan took the wooden box and examined it carefully.

Grayish-white text appeared:

[I came across alchemy knowledge, but due to insufficient knowledge, I failed to acquire it]

As with the standard version, no further information can be provided.

"This is a high-end product from our alchemy department," old Morgan continued. "Unlike the regular type, this thing has a larger explosion radius, and the exorcising powder and flames last for a longer period of time."

"It's much more effective at suppressing the bizarre, but of course, the protective measures are almost gone. When you activate it, you must throw it out, or you might blow yourself up."

Alice, watching from the side, couldn't help but say, "Old Morgan, you really are biased."

Old Morgan glared at her: "What are you, a flesh-and-blood superhuman, arguing with a medical student? Besides, there's nothing good left in the base, just some mithril, which we'll take on the ship later."

Lu Yuan carefully put the wooden box away and placed it close to his body.

"Don't die, Lu Yuan!" Old Morgan patted him on the shoulder.

As soon as he finished speaking, the armory door was pushed open, and three people walked in.

The leader was a burly middle-aged man. Lu Yuan recognized him; he was Gray, whom Lu Yuan had worked with to wipe out the mutated aggregates in the sewers before. Gray was a very reliable firepower provider.

Following behind him was the somewhat taciturn Ed, and a younger teammate who looked to be in his early twenties with a calm gaze.

"This is Leonard," Alice introduced simply. "He's on the first team, a veteran."

Leonard nodded to Lu Yuan.

The three then went to the table and began to pack the remaining supplies.

"Remember to keep it safe," old Morgan instructed. "When boarding the ship, try to stay in the cabin and avoid conflicts with the Ascension Society and the church."

Gray responded and put the holy water and scripture scroll into his backpack.

With the equipment distributed, everyone set off.

Old Morgan led them into a carriage and then headed towards the dock, followed by several other carriages with a few helpers inside and several heavy wooden crates in the carriages.

The port is located at the edge of the outer city, and even by carriage, it takes quite a while to reach it.

When Lu Yuan arrived at the dock with the group, the Ascension Society's ship was already moored there.

It was a black steamship, much larger than a typical merchant ship.

The ship's hull was covered with thick metal armor, on which were engraved dense inscriptions that gleamed with a faint blue light in the morning sun.

White steam billowed from the chimney, emitting a deep rumble, like a sleeping steel behemoth.

The ship's name, "Abyss Hunter," is engraved in bronze letters on its hull.

There were already many people busy at the dock, moving various goods and supplies.

Old Morgan beckoned to his helpers, "Move the mithril and other things up and into the cabin."

The helpers responded immediately, carrying the wooden crates toward the ship.

Lu Yuan followed Alice onto the deck and saw that the Ascension Society members were already waiting there.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a dark gray robe. His left eye was a sophisticated mechanical prosthetic eye, and when it was rotated, one could see the complex gear structure inside.

As Lu Yuan's gaze focused, grayish-white text appeared:

[Target Analysis: Marcus (Mechanic)]

[Characteristics: An entity that has discarded parts of its human body, replacing flesh and blood with alchemical creations. The degree of modification is so profound that it is difficult to discern its original human features.]

[Weakness: The modified parts rely on alchemical energy for power; strong electromagnetic interference can cause them to malfunction temporarily.]

Three people stood behind Marcus, dressed in black robes and wearing bird-beak-shaped masks.

They remained motionless, like three statues.

[Target Analysis: The Incarnate (Cyborg)]

[Characteristics: Creatures stripped of most of their flesh and will, retaining only basic neural reflexes and the instinct to obey. Beneath the mask, perhaps no complete human face remains.]

[Weaknesses: Rigid action patterns, lack of independent judgment, and chaos if the commander is killed]

At the entrance to the cabin, there stood a huge figure.

It was a steel giant far exceeding the size of an ordinary person, its entire body covered in thick metal armor, with intricate alchemical pipes visible at its joints.

Its head is a bird-beak shaped mask. It stands motionless in the shadows, but the invisible sense of oppression it exudes is the strongest among the crowd.

[Target Analysis: The Judge (High-Level Alchemical Creation)]

[Features: A weapon of war meticulously crafted by the Ascension Society, it fuses the human body with steel using unknown methods. Whether any human consciousness remains beneath the armor is unknown.]

[Weakness: Requires a long 'maintenance' period after each full-power operation, and lacks effective protection against mental attacks]

Current status: Standby

Upon seeing the information from the judge, Lu Yuan was taken aback. The Ascension Society had brought out such a trump card, which showed that they were determined to succeed in this mission, and that he might be safer.
