Chapter 205 The Forgotten "Hero"
"She was a high-level experimental subject of the Dawn Light research. I don't know what kind of experimental subject she was, but if it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago..."
"She possesses some telekinetic powers. During the disaster, she took the initiative to protect everyone and occasionally spoke a few words. But after the disaster, for some reason, she became increasingly silent and dull, and no longer defended herself..."
"Even if she was torn to pieces, she wouldn't speak. After being killed, she would revive again and appear in a place she thought might be safe, usually in a corner of a settlement of disaster victims..."
"Can it be resurrected?" Colin interrupted in surprise.
"I... am not sure, but every time she disappears before receiving fatal damage, I don't know if this counts as a resurrection."
Wang Hu briefly described the story, looking at the girl with a doting expression from time to time, "This time, I want to take her to the research institute with me to see if I can find a way to help her recover."
Qin Chuan did not comment on his request. Their goal was to find a shelter that was still in operation, then use this shelter to find the location of the "Hague Institute", and finally find a way to leave. There was no conflict with the other party's demands.
At this time, Colin said: "So, what is the situation with the 'Light of Dawn'?"
As he spoke, he took a closer look at the white-haired little girl. She looked no more than ten years old. Her hair, eyebrows and everything else were pale, but her eyes were dark red, as if due to a lack of pigment.
Judging from what Wang Hu said, the girl probably just looks like a girl, and her actual age may be older than him.
"There's no special smell. No, I can even say there's no smell at all..."
Colin found that he seemed unable to observe the other party effectively.
However, as an unknown advanced experimental subject, it is normal for him to have some special features. After coming to this world, there are a lot of things that cannot be effectively observed, and this one is not a big deal, so Colin did not take it too seriously.
"The Dawn Foundation used to try to merge various powers with the human body, which created many monsters. After the disaster, I only know that their actions became more and more extreme. They began to capture a large number of survivors for some kind of experiment. So far, no one has escaped."
"However, their relationship with the Human Future Research Institute, another force that is also a shelter, is relatively normal. There are rarely conflicts between the two sides, and they often take joint actions..."
"So, when you go there, there's a certain chance they'll attack you, but there's a greater chance they'll communicate with you normally."
Wang Hu finished telling what he knew.
The reason why he wanted to bring the little girl out was because he wanted to use their identities after knowing that this group of people came from other unknown shelters...
If they were to take him in their true identities, they would most likely kill him without further ado and forcibly take the little girl away.
After hearing his words, Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Let's make contact with them when the time comes. Now, let's replenish our supplies and rest for an hour, then go to the 'Dawn Light Foundation' you mentioned and make contact with those people to see the situation."
"No problem, I will fully cooperate." He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party did not deny his idea of taking the little girl with him.
Without further communication, everyone first entered the mall together holding torches, went to the fifth floor to get the supplies that had dropped from the robot, and then left quickly. The process was short and they did not encounter the monster in the basement.
Then he found a place outside to make some simple adjustments. During the break, Colin took the opportunity to open the parchment scroll and take a look.
"More than a thousand points, almost two thousand points, a silver mission clearance certificate, so little..."
The last few missions had all been worth tens of thousands of points, which had made him a little disdainful of these things. However, it seemed that he had not found anything scary this week, and there was no danger either, so more than a thousand points were not bad.
I just always feel like I'm missing something...
Colin frowned, opened the [task bar] and took a look, and soon his eyelids twitched——
He realized that he probably should... have forgotten to save those seven "heroes" again.
"Ah , judging by the time, it seems like a month has passed in that world...Isn't he dead?"
Colin blinked, but soon he noticed that the countdown for the seven "heroes" seemed to have been extended, and now there was still more than half a month.
If nothing unexpected happens, the "First Legion" may have helped out by the way.
Without giving it much thought, in order to avoid being discovered, Colin put away the parchment and thought about how to deal with the situation when he went to the "Dawn Foundation" next time.
At this moment, he was already fully prepared on the premise that a battle would break out between the two sides.
After all, just listening to Wang Hu's description, this group of people may have gone crazy to the point of losing their humanity. In addition, they are very likely to have terrible methods, so it is best to prepare for the worst in advance.
"With my strength, as long as I'm not facing a Level 9 person, I can handle the others, even if I'm facing an official Level 8 person. As for Level 9... I shouldn't encounter them right away. After all, no one starts playing Landlord with the king or the queen these days."
Colin silently thought about how he felt when he first entered the "Special Operations Department" and came into contact with the two senior members, and made some rough judgments.
Soon, an hour passed during the rest. Colin and others did not stop at all. Led by Wang Hu, they shuttled through the abandoned town and headed towards a suburb outside the city.
Along the way, with full vision, everyone easily avoided a lot of trouble.
Moreover, they also discovered that if they did not turn on the lights, most of these monsters in the dark had poor eyesight, and they could be easily avoided as long as they were a little careful.
Several hours passed quickly as they hurried on in silence. Apart from stopping a few times to rest, they had no other delays. Finally, they found some traces outside a remote suburb.
"There are almost no high-level threats here, only some low-level troubles. It feels like it has been 'pruned'."
Colin took a deep breath and, through the smell, got a general idea of the situation in the place.
"There's a relatively large McDonald's nearby, it's a stand-alone building, go look for it..." Wang Hu reminded. He didn't have the "Heart of Purification", so all he could see was the range that the torch could illuminate.
Now, except for occasionally lighting a torch for him to identify the direction, this group of people moved forward in the dark at other times.
After all, after the torches are lit, not only can they see it, but other monsters will also come looking for it. Once they are locked, a lot of trouble may happen...
Therefore, after solving the vision problem, there is no need to add fuel to the fire.
"Found it, then what?"
After Colin looked around, he saw a statue of a clown in the Golden Arches at the three o'clock direction. The faded and mottled clown statue stood in the darkness, grinning and staring at them with a sinister smile.
"There is a villa area about one or two kilometers behind it. Enter there and find a relatively large artificial rockery. The middle of the mountain is one of the entrances..." Wang Hu quickly recited the route he remembered from the last time he came here.
Colin and the others did not hesitate. After bypassing the Golden Arches, they walked for more than ten minutes and saw the collapsed villa area and the artificial rockery in the villa area. Then they stepped directly over the fence and walked in...
"This villa area is called a villa area, but it has actually always been the territory of the Dawn Foundation. It was just used as a cover at the beginning, and only a few people know that this is their territory. Uh, how come..."
Wang Hu was lying on an armed man, explaining the situation here, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that everyone had stopped.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw dozens of infrared aiming points coming from all directions, hitting them densely.
