Chapter 260: Survivors in the Academy
"Bang!"
Just as the plaster torch touched the silver-gray mist around Colin, it instantly disintegrated and shattered.
"Interesting... Before it attacked, I didn't even notice anything wrong with it. There's something strange about this place..."
Colin tilted his head to think about what had just happened, and didn't feel anything dangerous.
Because that thing poses little threat to him, and even if he stands still, the opponent may not be able to break through his defense.
Moreover, what made him feel more wrong than the attack of the statue was the brilliant and colorful glare that emanated from the Statue of Liberty when it shattered.
The glare disappeared within a second...
But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he looked directly at the colorful light, he always felt that his lifespan seemed to be "-1s" "-1s".
"After testing, it seems that the light has the characteristics of absorbing biological activity. It is recommended not to destroy it and avoid direct contact with it ..." the nano-intelligent machine responded.
Can it absorb life? Is this what the task prompt means when it says to be careful of inhuman art?
Colin nodded thoughtfully: "Just as you said."
Then, he continued to walk towards the third floor. Along the way, he saw many strange stone statues floating towards here, but they were pushed away before they got close to Colin.
And they don't seem to attack unless they get within a certain distance.
"It seems that the desire to attack is not very strong..."
Colin guessed that it might be because he didn't actually trigger anything, or the time had not come, otherwise these things wouldn't be so peaceful.
Not long after, he arrived at the third floor. When he got here, his enhanced five senses could clearly feel the presence of several survivors behind a door that seemed to be a multimedia office.
"Boom boom boom."
Colin reached out and tapped the thick door opposite him: "Is anyone there?"
As he finished speaking, he could clearly feel that the person inside seemed to hold his breath.
"I don't need to go in either. Someone come and tell me what's going on here. Qin Chuan, um, have you seen Xia Liufang? A girl who looks very heroic, like a female knight..."
He wanted to use Qin Chuan as an example, but after thinking about it, Colin felt that if these people came, Xia Liufang would probably be more noticeable.
Unfortunately, there was no response to Colin's words.
"Caution is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's used in the wrong place."
Colin waved his hand, and some silver-grey mist suddenly surged up, corroding the parts inside the door lock. Then he politely reached out to hold the door handle, ready to open it, but found that due to some force, the door still could not be opened.
"Some kind of seal?"
Colin frowned, loosened his hand and raised his leg, and flames erupted on his right leg.
Follow closely.
"boom!"
The mysterious power attached to the door melted as soon as it came into contact with fire and was kicked away in an instant.
At the same time, pieces of yellow talisman paper fell from behind the door, and it seemed that these things were blocking Colin 's entry.
However, before he could take a closer look, a man holding a shotgun held the gun and prepared to fire:
"I'm going to fight you!"
The shotgun in his hand was very special, wrapped in layers of yellow symbols. But before he could pull the trigger, he found that a ball of silver had wrapped around his fingers, and his entire body was stiff, unable to move...
Before he knew it, he had been completely controlled by the nano-robot kitten, even his entire body was filled with it.
"Why are you so angry?"
Colin looked past the extraordinary person from the Special Operations Department and saw six students from the Art Academy, two boys and four girls. They were all huddled in a corner, looking at him with fear on their faces like chickens.
His eyes swept over several people, and from their pale and thin faces and frightened eyes, he could tell that their conditions were not very good.
And you can smell some excrement in the multimedia office...
Obviously, these people have been hiding here for more than just a day or two.
"Can you calm down now?"
Colin retracted his gaze and looked at the Beyonder who was holding a shotgun and was controlled by the nano-intelligent machine.
Only then did he make sure that Colin was not an enemy, and nodded with difficulty: "Okay."
"Um."
Colin did not release his control over the other party: "Are you the first person to come in?"
"right."
"Did you see the person I was talking about?"
"I heard some noise an hour ago. They might be the ones who came to support us , but I didn't dare to look, for fear that the enemy would find their location..."
"enemy?"
"I'm not sure. If I stay outside for a while, I might be attacked by something inexplicable..."
"Okay, do you know where those people went?" Colin continued to ask.
"They probably went to the studio on the seventh floor of Building B across the street. That might be the source, but we didn't see them come out later. We are currently in Building D..."
"Building B, seventh floor."
Colin looked past the large number of floating objects and across the street. He could see the top floor, the seventh floor. There seemed to be a particularly large classroom there, which did give him a bad feeling.
But it’s hard to say whether that’s the source…
But just at this moment.
A line of information appeared on the retina: ["Weekly Task - 'Abnormality in the Star Color Art Academy'" has been completed. ]
"Hmm? Is this the end of the investigation?"
Colin was stunned for a moment, then saw another line of information pop up.
[If you leave at this moment and complete the task settlement, you will receive "Campfire Points × 250" + score reward. ]
[Continue to the next part of this task: "Accommodate the embryos in the classroom" within seven days, and you will receive an additional guaranteed "Bonfire Points × 800" and a "Silver Task Certificate × 1". ]
[Note: The next round of tasks has certain risks. It is recommended to carry out the task with "Excellent (Purple)" props with sufficient attack strength, or transfer the task to "D-level" employees. ]
"Can we leave now?"
Colin had a strange expression on his face as he realized how easy the typical weekly tasks were.
Of course, he didn't hesitate and took on the next task directly.
Since “mission certificates” are so hard to get these days, get as many as you can.
Even if you don't think about the mission reward, you have to think about Qin Chuan and others...
After all, it's not a big deal if all his subordinates are killed before he even takes office.
Immediately, Colin gathered his thoughts and untied the restraints on the official Beyonder. He then headed towards the studio on the seventh floor of Building B and casually said to the person behind him:
"You guys come with me too."
"Together? Where to? Wait!"
The official Beyonder behind him, whose name he didn’t know yet, was startled and hurriedly stopped him: “The anomaly up there has not been discovered yet, and all the people who went in haven’t come out yet. I suggest waiting for a stronger official Beyonder to arrive…”
Because Colin did not belong to the three major paths, he could not sense Colin's strength, but only felt that he was probably at level four.
But level 4 is simply not enough!
"abnormal?"
Upon hearing this, Colin raised his right hand above his head and extended his index finger. A cluster of flames burst out from his index finger, and the flames expanded rapidly, with a diameter exceeding three meters in an instant. Under the radiation of the scorching flames, all the distorted light returned to normal.
He walked forward and said without looking back:
"I am what you call 'stronger'."
