Chapter 167: 96. Rain in the Heart (Single Update of 10,000 Words)_5
He quickened his pace, sprinting upstream along the underground river, reaching
an area beneath the steam boiler room.
Here, he encountered a dozen Imperial Soldiers who had just finished their
battle.
The sound of Lieutenant Cavado’s footfalls startled the soldiers, who were
bandaging their wounds behind the military barricade, visibly wounded.
They immediately raised their guns, aiming at him.
If they hadn't recognized the military uniform on Lieutenant Cavado, a friendly fire
accident almost occurred at the scene.
“Hold fire, don't shoot, it seems to be an investigator from Division Intelligence
Unit Two...presenting my report, Chief Officer!”
A sergeant ran out from the crowd of soldiers and saluted the lieutenant that was
coming towards him:
“Korabo Legion Fortress Guards, the 115th Garrison Squad is on duty, could you
identify yourself?”
“Superintendent Investigator Cavado from Intelligence Unit Two...What
happened here? Did you see a group of Skeleton Warriors?” Lieutenant Cavado
crossed the defense line's railing, asking questions one after another.
The sergeant spoke:
“Report, sir. Not long ago, a team of Undead Constructs walked over using the
underground river, attacking the Steam Boiler Room. We immediately set up a
defense line and successfully annihilated this Skeleton Army.”
“Good job. I have brought the breakout route map. Now I need to meet the
Fortress’s Commander...how's the situation on the ground level?”
Lieutenant Cavado, while walking towards the entrance of the Steam Boiler
Room, asked the sergeant.
“Report. The Legion Castle has been occupied by the undead. Left with no
choice, the Commander ordered the destruction of the second to fifth floors of the
Castle, to prevent the confidential files from falling into the hands of the Undead
Cult. The Commander is now near the Steam Train Station, gathering troops,
preparing for the breakout to outside of the city.”
Lieutenant Cavado silently nodded, pushed the metal door open, and stepped
into the Steam Boiler Room.
The underground river path he just walked through, although it leads straight to
the suburbs, was too narrow and had poor terrain.
Legion troops walking through this path would be easily surrounded and
annihilated by the undead army in the underground.
Therefore, a breakout route that could be used by a large army was necessary.
Division Intelligence Unit Two wasn't just idling all day.
While they were keeping an eye on the illegal forces within the Empire, they also,
under the request of Intelligence Department 4, secretly assisted all Legions in
arranging backup escape routes.
That breakout route map recorded the escape route for the Korabo Legion
Troops.
Only by proceeding in the correct way would the escaping soldiers not trigger the
traps and explosives used to fend off the undead.
To hand over the breakout route map to the Fortress Commander, half of
Lieutenant Cavado’s mission on this journey would be completed.
During the remaining time, he just had to take back the remains of the self-
destructing skeleton that killed Kasha, to give Intelligence Department 1 an
answer.
However...
Would this be a bit too rash...
Lieutenant Cavado came to the ground level, faced the pitter-pattering black
rainwater, and sank into contemplation.
In his own view, Kasha was indeed killed by a self-destructing skeleton, and
those Skeleton warriors who attacked Kasha were already Killed by the soldiers
guarding the Boiler Room.
But would Intelligence Department 1 believe all this?
Lieutenant Cavado was doubtful whether his words could eam the trust of the
Chief Officer and Intelligence Department 1.
All he knew was that he must find a way to make the investigation results more
convincing.
“Ooh err... Ooh err...
A weird noise entered Cavado’s ears.
Lieutenant Cavado alertly raised his gun, looked at the passing refugee group,
his expression shocked.
“By the Emperor, what have I seen... a few Walking Deads are actually escorting
a group of female nurses! And none of the female nurses in the scene are
resisting!”
A chill ran up Lieutenant Cavado’s spine! Without any hesitation, he pulled the
trigger.
“Bang bang bang bang..”
After a series of rough gunshots, the heads of the Walking Dead burst one after
another.
The gunfire startled the nurse group which had not long escaped danger, causing
a series of screams.
Among the many females, the male soldier with a pale face and heavy dark bags
under his eyes was so striking.
He was exuding a powerful scent of death all over his body, like a breathing
walking corpse.
“Bang!”
There was one more round hole in his forehead.
He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but couldn't get a word out, his
eyes filled with sadness and loss.
He swayed a few times, finally falling to the ground with heavy fatigue, falling into
the accumulated water.
“No! Why did you kill him! Why did you kill him!"
A voluptuous female nurse ran out from the crowd, she squatted on the soldier's
body mournfully screaming:
“He saved us! He saved us from the undead! Why did you kill him! Why!"
“No reason, nurse. He violated the Empire's taboo. As an investigator for Division
Intelligence Unit Two, I should kill him on the spot.”

Sully lifted her head to look at Lieutenant Cavado’s back.
Her face was covered with water droplets, it was unclear whether it was
rainwater or tears.
Her lips quivered violently, as though there was endless grief and indignation that
she couldn't voice out..
