The Death List Novel - Chapter 147
Chapter 147 A Mortal Enemy of Greene
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco. The city was originally a colony of the Spanish government. After the war between the Axis and their allies in North Africa, the Spanish government secretly leased the Mediterranean and Atlantic routes to the German North African Legion because of the tight blockade imposed by the British fleet.
To circumvent the naval blockade of the British fleet and send blood from Morocco, a neutral colony, to the North African legion was a secret German military warehouse in North Africa.
Morocco was also controlled by Britain and the United States after the Allied victory in the Battle of North Africa. After taking control of Casablanca, the allied forces linked the military stores to the underground parts of other important military targets in the city centre, forming a huge underground shelter.
However, in order to catch up with the summit of the three great powers, the underground shelter’s connecting passage was hastily constructed, and some of the passageways weren’t very solid. In the previous shelling, there were some tunnels that could not withstand the power of the explosion of the cannonball, causing numerous cracks to appear.
“Shh ~ shh ~ ~ ~” At this moment, a somewhat strange whistle suddenly sounded from a certain passage in the underground network.
All of the explosion-proof lights in this passage were extinguished. Apart from the strange whistle, only dust and sand leaked out from the cracks in the passage, creating a faint “rope” sound. The entire passage revealed an unusually terrifying atmosphere. In addition to the narrow space in the passage, it gave off an extremely oppressive feeling of suffocation.
The depths of the passageway were pitch black. Only near the corner was there a trace of dim light reflected from the explosion-proof lamps of the other forks.
As he searched for the source of the whistle, two faint green lights suddenly lit up in a dark passage. In the depths of the green light, two dense scarlet red lights could be vaguely seen.
The darkness in the passageway seemed to shake slightly with the green light, revealing a terrifying shadow of unknown shape.
“What should we do? It seems that it’s too late to make a skeletal angel! What a pity, we’ve wasted such excellent materials!”
As the calm voice rang out, the terrifying shadow was a living person squatting on the ground. In front of this person, there seemed to be a blurry object in the hazy, but it was obscured by a human figure and could not be seen clearly.
With the shaking of the green light, the figure stood up. Soon after, a soft sound of footsteps sounded. The silhouette had just taken two steps when it suddenly stopped.
“Pa!” ‘”It’s been a long time since I came out. I’ve really become dull. How can I not bring back a souvenir with such an excellent material? Hehe!” The silhouette slapped his forehead in self-mockery, “It’s been a long time since I’ve come out. I’ve really become dull. How can I not bring back a souvenir with me?”
The figure turned around again and squatted back to his original position. He gripped a dagger tightly in his palm and forcefully cut it.
…
Grant slowly removed the human skin mask from his face and stuffed it into his bosom. He supported the wall and sat down on the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He had exhausted too much stamina. From last night until now, he had used the [Gift of the Clown] twice in a row in a day, almost squeezing out the vitality of this body.
If it weren’t for the many recovery medicines in his storage space, he wouldn’t even be able to move now. Grant didn’t manage to keep Indiana Jones in the end. The archaeologist was too cautious. Moreover, Jones was different from Little Red Riding Hood Liv. His whip skill and clown skill could not be imitated. It was obvious that his body skill alone could not defeat the cautious Jones.
When the battle circle in the distance suddenly disappeared, Jones immediately decided to leave the battle and flee. Grant’s stamina had completely disappeared, and he was powerless to chase after them.
Just as he was resting, Grant suddenly turned around and saw a figure walking out of a corner in the distance. The figure’s face was somewhat pale. His upper shirt spread out and a white bandage wrapped around his abdomen and left shoulder.
The white bandage on his abdomen was covered in a large blob of blood. Judging from the amount of bleeding, it might be a penetrating wound. The left shoulder with another white bandage was obviously lower than the right shoulder. It should be a broken shoulder blade.
However, Grant’s attention did not fall on these places. Instead, he stared fixedly at a small parcel in the man’s right hand. This was a tattered military uniform wrapped around a small jar-like object. The bottom was seeped with blood stains. As the figure advanced, the passageway was sprinkled with blood droplets.
“Qin Lun, you can actually kill her!” Grant shifted his gaze away from the parcel with some difficulty and stared at the incoming person.
The clown fought Little Red Riding Hood and Indiana Jones once, well aware of the difficulty of these superpowers. Even though these characters didn’t have nomological bodies, the difficulty of killing them wasn’t ordinary.
The corners of the visitor’s mouth curved into a strange arc. The red light in his eyes flashed, but he did not respond.
“Eh? No, you’re not Qin Lun!” Grant suddenly frowned and stood up, vigilantly supporting the wall. “You are … Joey Foster! The battle is over, and you still control Qin Lun’s body?”
“Who said that this body is his!” Joey smiled evilly and pinched his finger. “If that kid hadn’t gotten a few decent abilities, I wouldn’t have endured until now!”
“Then do you still want to continue with our previous plan?” Grant asked in a deep voice, a trace of doubt flashing through his eyes.
“Of course, I’ve long since thought of having fun with such a fun thing, hahaha!” Joey’s eyes were filled with madness. He raised his head and laughed loudly. The blood stains on his abdominal bandages also expanded with the laughter. However, the “Decomposer” ‘s face seemed to be completely unaware of it.
“Then let’s go. The tremors on the ground have almost stopped. All of the special forces of Fort Onin should have died in battle!” Grant looked up at the ceiling of the underground passageway and said indifferently.
This time, the special forces that followed the Gentlemen’s Alliance were originally a 120-strong assault squadron. When they landed on the beach, these special forces were besieged by nearly two regiments of allied forces. In the end, only 30 people escaped.
Although the Oningburg Special Fort soldiers weren’t super snipers like Gerthardt, who Qin Lun bent over, everyone’s individual qualities were very strong, and all of them were archers. During the shelling, they lay in ambush in the ruins on the ground, using semi-automatic rifles and grenades to gradually resist the arriving Allied forces.
Twenty minutes had passed since the Gentlemen’s Alliance entered the underground passageway until Grant and Joey ended the battle.
Even a murderer like Grant couldn’t help but feel a hint of respect for the valor and courage of the 101 elite U.S. Paratroopers who had blocked the city center of Casablanca with just over 30 men.
“Hehe, can’t you keep your prey?” Joey smiled strangely as he looked around the corridor, seemingly looking forward to seeing another corpse.
“No, Dr. Indy … Dr. Jones is very clever. Once the battle over there is over, he will immediately retreat!” Grant said somewhat annoyed. He almost blurted out Indiana Jones’s full name just now. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately changed his tone. “Did you get anything from killing the woman called Catherine by Dr. Jones?”
“Hehe, that woman seems to be a famous superpower. After her death, she gave me a chain mission and directly completed the first step!” Joey rolled his eyes and generously displayed the notifications on the death list to the guild channel.
[Greene’s Deathly Enemy: Apostle 70053, you killed an associate professor at Greene College and triggered the chain quest ‘Greene’s Deathly Enemy’. The quest foundation has been completed. Killing other Greene College teachers and students will increase the quest progress. The quest rewards will be settled together upon return, and the World Exploration Reward will be given as an additional reward.]
[Reminder: Green College is an advanced superpower college in the world. The college is located in Greenland. There are many legendary figures among the teachers and students of the college, and they have left important historical deeds in the official and unofficial history of the world.]
[Reminder: Every time you kill an important figure of Green College, it will have a significant impact on the historical trajectory of this world. While increasing the exploration of the Apostle World, it will also plunder a large number of world essences for the Broken Star Sky and enhance the evaluation of the final mission of the Otherworlds]
“Warning: Green College is very united and has a close teacher-student relationship. Killing any of the faculty and students of the academy would bring crazy revenge to the apostles. It would add unpredictable variables to the mission, which would increase the difficulty of the mission in disguise. Because this difficulty is unpredictable, the apostle’s original mission reward cannot be increased. He can only give additional rewards through his world exploration. ”
“Green’s mortal enemy” Grant looked at Joey with envy and helplessness.
This quest cannot be shared unless he also kills a Greene. The reward for the mission was Qin Lun alone, but since they were currently working together as a temporary team, they would have to shoulder all the troubles in the future.
However, Grant was not an ordinary person after all. He was not afraid of trouble. Instead, he felt a kind of eager excitement in his heart. Thinking of this, the clown licked his lips and his gaze fell on the parcel in Joey’s hand.
“Joey, let me discuss this with you … You’re just using this as a souvenir anyway. How about I exchange 5000 broken crystals for it?”
“Oh!” A cold light flashed in Joey’s eyes. He stopped and turned to look at Grant quietly.
“I’m … joking, don’t mind!” Grant stopped at the same time, raised his back and looked at the “Decomposer”. He immediately withdrew his proposal.
“Haha!” Joey narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Let’s go. The shelter guarded by Katrin and Jones should be right in front of us. Let’s go and see what we’ve got!”
Grant curled his lips as he watched Joey turn around and walk forward again. He followed him unhurriedly, but he quietly pulled back some distance in the dark.
