Chapter 237 D-Class Employee
"you……"
Just as Colin opened his mouth, he heard a rustling sound coming from the woods. He frowned, withdrew his gaze from the man, and without moving his body, turned his head towards the car door.
He saw a strange figure appear in the eerie and silent woods, and his appearance startled him.
"…What the hell? Broccoli?"
About a hundred meters away in the depths of the woods, a strange tree about six or seven meters tall appeared, looking like a giant cauliflower. It was surrounded by yellow-green miasma, and was strange and peculiar. It used its roots as its feet, and was moving towards this side.
However, when Colin focused his eyes a little, he immediately discovered that it was not a cauliflower at all, but a tree. However, on the trunk that three people could not even hug together, there were no leaves or branches growing, but a large number of dead heads whose faces had been gray for who knows how long...
They were gathered at the top so much that Colin thought they were cauliflowers at first glance.
The man who was pointed at by Colin's gun saw the strange life and his expression suddenly changed:
"Damn it, this super-evolved ultimate coconut tree is catching up with us?!"
My god, this super evolved coconut tree...
Colin almost couldn't keep the calm on his face, but he didn't think much about it. He looked at the strange tree outside and the people in the car, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.
"You are the one who lured it here?" Colin pointed his gun at the stranger, his eyes still fixed on "Cauliflower".
Qin Chuan and others in the car took out guns and other weapons and pointed them at the strange visitor who they claimed to be "one of them".
Although small-caliber pistols are generally ineffective against monsters, they are still quite convenient for killing people.
"I was chased here by it, I didn't lead it here..."
The strange man raised his hands and explained hastily.
"What is it?" Colin continued, staring at the "cauliflower" that was slowly approaching.
He could sense the deadly aura emanating from this thing...
The most important thing is that he doesn't know what capabilities this thing has, so flames come out of his body directly to avoid being caught off guard like last time.
"The boss of this mission accidentally dug up a root of it, and chased me for eighty blocks... cough cough cough..." The strange man complained, and while speaking, he couldn't help coughing twice, and there was an unpleasant noise in his throat.
When he saw the flames surging on Colin's body and covering everything around him, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Just from this one move, he knew that he and his opponent were probably evenly matched, and all other thoughts in his mind disappeared immediately...
"Mission Boss? If you don't know me, you might think you're playing games. But judging by your speaking style, you must be an employee of the Bonfire Company."
Colin's thoughts turned, and he remembered that this man glanced at the parchment beside him before saying "one of us".
Then there is a high probability that it is someone from the company...
But he couldn't take care of this for the moment, because the strange tree with a human head was still approaching.
However, just when the other party came within 15 meters, its footsteps suddenly stopped, as if it was afraid of something, and stopped sliding its huge roots under the tree trunk...
Then it stood there motionless, as if watching.
This also made Colin feel relieved, because the stalemate and delaying time were obviously in their favor.
Soon the train will start moving and leave here.
But, at this moment...
Suddenly, a basketball-sized lump bulged out from the middle of the trunk of the strange tree. It kept squirming as it bulged, and took on the appearance of an old man's face.
At this moment, the man opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something.
“Ding ding ding——”
A rapid bell rang on the train, interrupting the other person's words.
The door closed with a click, the train trembled, and then started moving.
During this process, the strange "human head tree" did not make any more movements. It just watched Colin and others leave with its old face and let out a strange sigh.
The stranger in the car breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Did anyone hear what the ghost thing just said?"
Just then the bell rang, and he only heard some noise, and he didn't know why, and finally it suddenly started talking.
Hearing this, Ke Lin recalled the noise he had heard: "Be careful, there's someone in the car..."
What is it?
"It felt like a reminder, but it's possible that I heard it wrongly. That voice didn't sound like a proper language..."
Colin took a deep breath and didn't think much about the "cauliflower". Instead, he looked warily at the stranger getting into the car and pointed the gun at his head.
"Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, we're one family. I'm a senior employee of the company... Well, as for the name, you know that we're special, but you can call me Luo Yiming."
Luo Yiming, who was tall and thin, wearing a black windbreaker and raised his hands, introduced himself.
Senior Bonfire employee?!
Qin Chuan and others were stunned for a moment, and then they looked cautious as if they were facing a great enemy.
In their opinion, every senior employee of this ghost force may have the same strength as Colin, and they have to face it seriously.
"What level, D-level?"
Colin was not surprised, but he muttered in his heart: Bonfire employees are indeed attracted to each other.
"Well, that's about right." Although Luo Yiming didn't say it, his face still showed some pride.
D-level employees are the highest level among the lower-level workers...
As for higher ones, I have never seen them.
"What about you? What's your rank?" Luo Yiming asked while speaking.
"Not as tall as you."
Colin did not respond accurately. It was the first time he met other company employees during the mission.
However, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be unusual in the internal, especially on the "Train in the Fog", many slightly difficult tasks will use this train...
Of course, not every encounter is a good thing.
It is not uncommon for employees to meet in private and then be killed and robbed of their treasures.
"Life mentor Keaiduo" often mentions this matter repeatedly in the internal group to prevent newcomers from falling into the trap.
Without asking for more information about his personal identity, Colin continued, "Why are you there? What is your mission? What are you going to do now?"
He didn't want to make things awkward if it wasn't necessary.
After all, Colin was somewhat wary of that method of flashing into the carriage.
And given his personality, he would not kill indiscriminately just because the other party posed a threat. Otherwise, he would stop time and kill the person first.
"Me? My mission was I had an accident and was chased by this thing. I ran for most of the day and finally caught the train and escaped. As for later, I will get off after three stops. There shouldn't be any conflict with you guys."
Luo Yiming explained briefly, and at the end he looked at the people in the car curiously: "What's going on with you? Why are there so many people? Is it a rescue mission? Where are you going next?"
I'm not sure if the people at the front of the first carriage are colleagues, but those kids in their early teens wearing the same uniform at the back are definitely not employees of the company.
"Well, we rescued a group of people, but we're not sure where they're going."
Colin responded perfunctorily, pointing his gun at the iceberg in front of him filled with corpses: "To avoid conflict, you should sit in the front car."
Looking in the direction Colin pointed, Luo Yiming saw the corpse. He was obviously reluctant. What's more, Colin and others had not put down their guns and kept pointing at him, which made him feel even more unhappy.
He raised his hand just to avoid conflict, but now... he kept showing his kindness, but the other party didn't appreciate it.
Luo Yiming stared at Ke Lin with an unfriendly tone, and said in a serious tone: "I say, you are a little disrespectful to senior employees, aren't you?"
Blindly tolerating will only make people become more demanding. These new employees must be made aware of what a D-level employee is!
In addition, he had recently obtained the "purple talent" in the "trial mission" of "Brother Shunzi", and his strength had also improved significantly. With the help of various props , he had a lot of say in the D-level. How could he accept such grievances?
You don't take him seriously at all!
