Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 527 - 260: Black Island

Wu Chang clicked his tongue, feeling that the situation was indeed tricky.

Although Xia Jia holds a high position, her level is only just over 20, and she is a support system player, responsible for extraordinary phenomenon research and eliminating the impact of extraordinary events on reality. In terms of combat strength, she may not be as strong as Zhao Yan.

Having her temporarily take over the Management Bureau only indicates that there is truly no one else available in the bureau.

Wu Chang asked, "What were you planning to do when you just went out?"

Spirit Fox replied, "Director Xia Jia instructed us to hold her orders and stand by at various departments in Wanghai City, and to take over Wanghai City immediately if the Erosion Dungeon below gets out of control, aiming to minimize the dungeon’s impact."

Wu Chang nodded, he had no objections to Xia Jia’s judgment, while he looked at Spirit Fox with a hint of surprise.

"You don’t seem too worried?"

Indeed, people do grow. In his impression, Spirit Fox would always become flustered when encountering problems.

Spirit Fox smiled lightly and said, "I was quite flustered at first, but seeing you reminded me of what you said before, that if the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up. Now that you’re here, I naturally feel relieved."

Wu Chang smiled and said, "That’s the spirit. Continue following Director Xia’s instructions, I’ll head in first."

Spirit Fox was about to ask Wu Chang what his plan was, but before she could speak, Wu Chang had already walked away, so she could only cup her hands to her mouth and shout:

"Be careful!"

She saw Wu Chang, with his back to her, making an OK gesture with his hand, his face showing a reassuring smile.

Since he knew that Director Gao and others had already gone down, he didn’t go to the director’s office but headed straight to the Extraordinary Disaster Control Center where Xia Jia was located.

At this moment, everyone the bureau could dispatch had been sent out; only Xia Jia was left in the office, so Wu Chang didn’t have to wait long.

Wu Chang didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "Director Xia, I’m ready to go down."

Xia Jia looked at Wu Chang. Both of their positions were as explorers, but her seniority was built over time, whereas Wu Chang had more solid accomplishments. In reality, it seemed more suitable for Wu Chang to take over the Wanghai Branch.

"Wu Chang, we’re short on personnel in the bureau right now, so I think you should stay up here to guard against sudden incidents. Inside the Erosion Dungeon, there are two directors and Sword Star is there; the combat strength is very adequate. If they can’t handle it, adding you might not improve things much."

Wu Chang said, "This Erosion Dungeon incident is highly unusual. I heard you’ve contacted Professor Shi Ning, and I assume Professor Shi has mentioned that this incident is likely related to the Painter."

Xia Jia nodded.

Wu Chang continued, "My inspiration is quite sensitive; I’m good at identifying the dungeon’s weaknesses. I’ve already achieved a breakthrough in the Painter’s dungeon before, so I think going down there, I should be able to help, at least speed up breaking through the dungeon."

"Staying up here, I won’t be able to contribute much."

Xia Jia pondered for a moment and confirmed, "According to Professor Shi’s examination, the dungeon that appeared this time, although incomplete, is just a single area within the dungeon. But it’s an A-Level dungeon, extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to go down?"

Wu Chang said without hesitation, "I’m sure."

Xia Jia stood up straight and said solemnly to Wu Chang, "Then please find a way to break through the dungeon and bring the directors back."

Wu Chang: "That’s exactly what I intend to do."

Accompanied by Xia Jia, Wu Chang made his way to the elevator. As the elevator doors opened, he immediately caught the strong scent of the dungeon.

Entering the elevator, he pressed the button for the fifth underground floor, and the elevator doors slowly closed, descending.

The elevator descended all the way down, and as it reached the first underground floor, Wu Chang seemed to hear a faint popping sound in his ears.

The elevator seemed to pass through a thin membrane into another space.

The lights inside the elevator began to flicker, and the descent speed increased rapidly, as if the cables dragging the elevator had been cut, and it was now in free fall.

Thud!

Ding!

With a heavy thud, the elevator panel indicated it had arrived at the fifth underground floor.

But the elevator doors opened to reveal endless darkness and cold.

He looked around, feeling like he had arrived on a deserted island. He gazed out into the surroundings and saw a fire burning in the center of the island.

Ding.

He looked back at the elevator and saw that just as it closed, the elevator cabin had already disappeared.

He turned his gaze back to the center of the island, where Director Gao and the others should be located.

Meanwhile, on a barren mountain in the suburbs of Wanghai City, a middle-aged man put down his binoculars and turned to look at a member of the Revelation who had been interrogated to the brink of death.

"Little mouse, are you saying you previously set up an Earthly Divine Kingdom here and it was snatched away by strangers?"
