"Hiss, this mission can actually be combined with another mission? Moreover, what's the point of this mission? It's totally useless, that's not right..."
Colin sat cross-legged on the ground, eating with the "Mark of the Power of Gluttony" in his hand, while distracting himself from the strange sensations in his stomach through thinking.
Then he quickly realized that this incident seemed to be guiding him in some way.
It's as if it's saying: Don't try to escape, don't try to fight, just survive, and all problems will be solved by the seventh day.
This gave Colin, who had just suffered a serious blow and didn't know what to do next, some ideas.
"If you don't need to fight head-on or run away, and you just need to persist, then there is still a chance in seven days."
"First, we need to alert the soldiers in the city to defend themselves. This way, we can avoid being attacked by the out-of-control beastly refugees outside the city tomorrow..."
"Then find a way to disrupt that ceremony tonight. If we can stop it directly, maybe everything can be solved."
As thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, Colin's body functions gradually recovered. Except for his eyes, other parts of his body recovered almost completely, so he stood up.
He planned to find the female noble first.
At this time, only through her can he have the opportunity to indirectly mobilize the power of this city.
"But speaking of it, I suddenly wonder if this noblewoman was arranged to come here from the beginning. What a coincidence, a coincidence in every sense..."
Colin was a little suspicious, but he didn't have time to think about it now, because no matter what, he really needed their help now.
But just as he was about to take action, he seemed to remember something and turned to Tang Ken beside him: "I haven't asked yet, what did you bring in?"
Tang Ken was stunned. He didn't expect Colin to ask this suddenly. He thought for a moment before answering, "Three days' worth of military rations, a multi-purpose shovel, a mini pistol, and more than a hundred rounds of ammunition.
"I was originally planning to bring a mini Uzi, but it wouldn't fit in the space, so I didn't bring it."
After a pause, he continued, "I didn't know I would be staying here for so long. If I had known, I would have brought more food with me. But it's not a big problem if I eat sparingly."
Yes, he is much more reliable than Li Ming... Colin was not surprised that he could get a pistol. After all, this guy was retired and had his own channels.
Li Ming, the guy who studied civil engineering, didn't bring anything with him. He really couldn't hold back when he took out a children's rifle.
However, something unexpected has happened now, and we can't go back. Whether that guy can survive depends on fate.
If you're lucky, you can pick up a mouse in the church and deal with it.
If there really isn't anything, then I shouldn't be starving to death in seven days...
Even if he starves to death, he still has a life, so there is no need to panic.
"By the way, how did those people catch you with a gun?" Colin noticed this.
If he had taken out his gun at that time, he would have most likely escaped.
Tang Ken showed some embarrassment on his face: "In order to put the things into the storage room, I disassembled my pistol. I planned to put it back together after I walked out of the crowd, but I was knocked unconscious before I walked out... "
"Well, let's get it done now. There will probably be all kinds of troubles next. Be prepared. Be prepared to kill people."
Although he knew that this person's hands were probably stained with blood, Colin still gave a reminder.
Seeing the other party nod, Colin didn't say anything more and once again came to the city wall he had just climbed.
He glanced behind him before trying to climb the wall.
"I still can't sense the aura of 'beastiality' from these people. Then, the 'Book of Numerology' mentioned a large-scale outbreak of 'beastiality'... Was it man-made, or was it due to some other unknown reason?"
After a few seconds, Colin withdrew his gaze, sighed, and decided not to think about it for the time being. He planned to go back to the other party to find out the situation first.
After easily climbing over the city wall, Colin and Duncan quickly headed towards the inn where Helena was.
Compared to the small hotel they rented, Helena's was much more luxurious, and soldiers were deployed to protect it at night to ensure that no danger would happen to the nobleman.
"Stop! Who are you?!"
When Colin approached, someone immediately shouted at him.
A few people appeared on the other side...
"It's me. Go and inform Helena. I have something important to discuss with her."
Colin walked over slowly, directly and decisively, without hiding his identity.
"You? Who are you? How dare you address the noble by his name? Do you think that anyone can visit such an important person as the noble? Especially now that it's late at night!"
The guarding soldier frowned, suspecting that he was a bad guy, and slowly drew his sword, wanting to drive the man away, but the member of the noble guard who was on duty on the other side obviously recognized him.
"Wait, don't do it, are you the Thunder Reverend from today?"
"Um."
Colin nodded, and did not deny the identity the other party had assigned to him.
Anyway, it’s still the same sentence, those who understand will understand...
Thunder Priest?
The soldier who wanted to draw his sword was startled, and then felt panic, worried that the other party would hold a grudge against him. He wanted to explain something, but was relieved when Colin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry.
You have a very serious class concept here...
Ke Lin looked at his reaction and, combined with his experience of going to the city today, he had a general understanding of the social model here.
Ten seconds later, footsteps were heard from upstairs. The noble guard came back to report:
"Your Excellency, Miss Helena is waiting for you upstairs. Please follow me."
After saying that, he began to lead the way.
Colin followed behind and came to the third floor. In the huge living room, Helena, a noble, was already sitting on a wooden chair waiting.
Her old housekeeper, looking tired but forcing herself to be energetic, stood aside, her eyes bloodshot, obviously having just woken up.
Pointing to the seat beside her, after Colin sat down, Helena, who was still wearing a gray robe to cover her face, spoke:
"Sir, what do you want from us at this time?"
The tone of voice made them sound a bit grumpy. But it was true. From their perspective, it was really annoying to finally reach a safe place and be woken up in the middle of a rest...
Colin's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't bother to argue with the other party. He spoke directly:
"I noticed that a disaster was about to happen and that all the people in this city might not survive.
“If you don’t react, it’s not me or you.
"Everyone will die, without exception."
As soon as the words fell, the whole room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
