Lu Chen did not take the elevator and took the stairs reaching all the way down to the third floor without facing any surprises. However, he was unable to proceed beyond that point.
The stairwell pathway had been completely blocked with sturdy steel doors welded together into some sort of a barricade. It was like someone had plugged the various holes or pathways of entries using metal as if it was a sponge filling.
"Hmm… This definitely looks like someone has the ability to shape and mold metals." Lu Chen paused, pondering over his alternative route of action.
The stairwell was blocked and he was pretty sure that the elevator entrance was guarded by more men similar to those he had faced or in the worst case scenario someone even more powerful.
He would only be a sitting duck if he still used the elevator, so that wasn't an option. There was only one other option left.
Lu Chen clenched and released his fists a couple of times before entering the third floor and locating the fire exit. He quickly jumped down the ladder, reaching the ground in less than a minute.
However, the big herd of rats which they had seen before was no longer there. In reality, Lu Chen wasn't too worried about these rats. He was far more concerned about the other monsters that could be lurking outside, particularly the green-skinned creatures that could only be called goblins.
He silently looked around and walked around the apartment complex, extremely careful and cautious, ducking down close to the wall so that he won't be visible from the windows.
They had probably managed to clear a bunch of these beasts and had wrongly assumed that they were overpowered. However, he knew that different cores were different and these cores actually were a lot less useful even though their consumption stroked the energy swirling in his body.
Sighing, Lu Chen turned around when suddenly, the air around him twisted and a man appeared out of thin air, right behind him and placed a knife near his throat, making him completely unable to move or respond.
