Chapter 320: Is This Other World Knowledge?

He put away Roderick’s magic umbrella.
He walked towards the door.
When he passed by the Orc Sword Saintess, Matthew didn’t forget to cast [Untainted] on her.
The slightly awkward expression on the latter’s face immediately eased.
Samantha chuckled and whispered to her.
Matthew stood at the door and looked inside.
There was a hall in front of him. The zergs in the hall had been killed clean. There was a passage on both sides of the hall.
The passage on the right was deeply stuck in the underground rock stratum. It was probably impossible to go through.
The only path they could take was the one on the left.
The passage looked more like a corridor.
The rooms were arranged on both sides. Some of the doors were open, while others were closed.
The corridor was filled with the smell of decay.
However, there were not many corpses here, probably because all the flesh that could be parasitized had already become a part of the Violent Zerg.
Everyone discussed this for a while and decided to take things step by step. They would first clean up the rooms on both sides of the corridor to ensure that no Zerg escaped.
Clegg and Samantha were on the left.
Matthew and Lara were on the right.
Soldier and Ella were responsible for keeping watch.
The four of them quickly began their operation.
Matthew pushed open the first door in the corridor. The room was neatly furnished, but the furniture was covered in a layer of dust.
This was probably the staff dormitory of the laboratory.
After entering the room, there was a separate shower room. There was a small cooking table on the left. A few steps forward, there was a single bed, a small bookcase, and a 1.5 -meter-tall desk. These made up most of the furnishings in the room.
Lara did a quick search.
Other than some personal items, there was nothing else.
Matthew found a stack of green notes in the drawer. This was obviously the currency of the Antu Empire. It was not useful in Aindor for the time being, but Matthew still kept it in his pocket. Perhaps he would need it in the future.
The two of them quickly left and went to the second room.
Then the third and fourth..
They walked past the rooms one by one.
He didn’t see any zergs.
Other than a few stacks of green paper money, there were very few rewards.
However, Matthew was very patient. He knew that this was part of the battle. He had to ensure that his defence was safe in order to advance further.
Finally, things took a turn for the better when he arrived at the ninth room.
As soon as he entered, Matthew noticed that this room was much bigger, almost two to three times the size of the previous rooms.
There was a bathtub in the shower room, and a few steps ahead was a living room. There were several flower pots in the middle of the living room. The flowers in the pots had naturally withered, but the two oil paintings hanging on the wall showed the status of the owner of the room.
In the master bedroom, the bed was also a double bed. It looked like he was at least a senior researcher.
Matthew searched with anticipation and found something!
In the open safe.
He found a large bundle of green notes, two gold bars the thickness of a thumb, and many dusty jewels.
Matthew put them in his pocket, knowing that the 200 gold coins he had just torn off had returned. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Lara to take away the safe.
Other than that.
He also found a very small flashlight, a fountain pen without ink, a diary, and a very small figure of a fully constructed undead on the desk.
Matthew knew that these things were extraordinary.
[Hint: You have obtained a Psionic Torchlight (Unidentified/Smart Knowledge). ]
You have received a fully automatic fountain pen (100th anniversary of the Antu Empire);
You have obtained the diary of the deputy director of the laboratory.
You have obtained ‘Undead Construct'(Shrinking Spell is in progress).’
This thing was not a figurine!
This was a true Undead Construct!
Matthew looked at him carefully and found that he was a skeleton soldier with a thin layer of exoskeleton armour on the outside. There were construction runes on the armour. It was unclear whether it was magic or technology, but it gave off the beauty of a stitched monster.
“If the shrinking spell is active, I have the opportunity to enlarge it and study its specific structure.”
Matthew was extremely excited.
Then, he studied the flashlight and fountain pen. Unfortunately, like the psionic staff, the former would require an advanced identification scroll to see its use, while the latter would require more knowledge of the Antu Empire to determine its value.
In the end.
Matthew opened the diary.
Unlike the previous researcher, this deputy director of the laboratory, Standron obviously took a concise approach.
He kept a diary, but he was often lazy.
His handwriting was scarily sloppy, and at the same time, there were many typos. Matthew often had to read it carefully and combine it with the context to know what he was saying.
‘ Corrupted Science Agency!
“I had just made some progress in my research on the Undead Construct when those bastards from the Imperial Planet stole the results.
“They sent a new project leader out of nowhere and directly transferred me away. I was clearly an expert in constructing undead, but now I was sent here to study some bullsh*t psionic power!
“Psionic power!
“I don’t know any psionic power!!
“I have to write a letter and report those bastards who use their official positions for personal gain. Otherwise, it will be difficult to resolve the hatred in my heart!
“Forget it. I’ll just remain anonymous. I’m a married man after all. I can’t be as reckless as young people.
“Forget it. I’d better not write it. If they find out that it’s me, I might lose this job..”
