Chapter 407: Mothership Shrouded in Death
“Boom!”
A large amount of flames burst out...
After setting up the "signal tower" in the three rings, Colin fell directly to the surface without saying anything.
As we go deeper, the black fog becomes thicker.
Moreover, a large number of mutilated corpses began to appear above the atmosphere of this world.
There were human remains, but more were inhuman remains that had never been seen before...
"The fighting here must have been pretty brutal back then."
Colin couldn't help but feel shocked as his eyes swept over the mutilated corpse that was as big as a mountain.
He felt that this might be part of some terrifying first-level containment object...
But fortunately, it seems to have died quite cleanly. Apart from organic and inorganic matter, the divine activity has completely disappeared.
"I don't think he'll suddenly come back to life and punch me."
Suppressing his inner fear, Colin retracted his gaze and continued to fall into the surface of this world.
But it was at this time...
He was stunned and found that the death of the corpse looked somewhat familiar.
"Wait, isn't this the way those creatures near the chapel on 'World No. 13' died?"
Colin carefully observed the corpses around him and was basically certain that the way these creatures died was similar to the ones near the chapel of "World No. 13".
"Is this another mission related to a certain 'world number'? However, the effect of this ability is that the vitality, spirituality and divinity are completely wiped out, and all things are completely dead. Could it be that the existence that caused this effect is in this place?"
Thinking of this, Colin became alert.
You know, until now, he still hasn't figured out why such strange deaths occurred near the chapel.
Bacteria, animals, plants, etc...
Everything that has life will be completely dead.
"I hope the thing that created this effect isn't here."
After praying silently, Colin withdrew his gaze and continued his actions.
At the current speed, it is estimated that in a few minutes, we will reach the surface of this special celestial body, which is called a starship but is not small in scale.
And that was when Colin was quietly on his way.
In his mind, the D-level employees who arrived one by one gradually calmed down and stood in the campfire, looking around curiously.
"What the hell is this place? Why does it feel a bit like outer space?" a First Ring employee asked curiously.
"If you take away the feeling, it's just outer space. From this angle I can even see the stars..."
"Tsk, Brother Shunzi is no longer satisfied with the backward other world. This time he starts to conquer the stars and start the interstellar war."
"Our goal is the sea of stars!"
"What are we doing here, reclaiming this weird world?"
"I don't know what Brother Shunzi does, but as for us, have you ever used WiFi? Our function is similar to this..."
“…”
"The veterans among the D-class personnel know a lot."
Colin controlled his descent while looking at the information in his mind.
After these guys arrived, he clearly felt that the dead and depressing atmosphere was diluted a lot.
After a while, Colin suddenly saw the black fog fade away, and soon after, the outline of a vast land appeared before his eyes.
"Except for the strange black fog, it is almost a complete death zone."
Colin used the flames to sense everything around him, but he did not feel any particular threat.
After escaping from the black fog, he looked back and found that the sky here was almost obscured by the wriggling black fog...
And beneath the black fog is a dark world without any light.
But without thinking too much, Colin landed on a pale gravel ground.
“Crack, crack…”
The body fell to the ground, with a lot of crisp breaking sounds coming from under his feet.
“These things, are they bones?”
Colin looked at the fingernail-sized white "gravel" under his feet in surprise, and then he realized that they were pieces of bones.
Moreover, through the flames penetrating , it can be determined that this layer of bones is tens of meters high, and the area that can be sensed at present is covered by these bones...
"What are these bones?" Colin sniffed the air, trying to identify them.
Unfortunately, these things are too weathered to be smelled, so more advanced equipment is needed.
Immediately, Colin looked at the little maid.
"Mr. Colin, these...most of them should come from humans, and a small part is of unknown composition and belongs to unknown species outside my database." The little maid quickly gave the result.
"Human beings, how many people are needed..."
Hearing this, Colin subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the skeletons dozens of meters deep under his feet, and his heart began to palpitate.
In the firelight, wisps of black gas rose from under the skeleton.
He really couldn't imagine what happened here, to have such a large number of deaths...
However, without giving it much thought, Colin continued his mission, summoning the fourth "bonfire" and the fourth batch of D-class personnel.
This time, there were nine people in total.
"Hiss, damn, I've been tricked. I've received a scam mission. This damn place is obviously dangerous!"
"Fuck, these are all human bones under my feet..."
"Hey, who are you? Wait, Brother Shunzi?"
"It's stable..."
“…”
After a moment of confusion, all D-class personnel took defensive stances and looked around vigilantly.
Then, they discovered that there was a familiar figure emitting flames standing not far away.
"I need four people to follow me and go deeper into this place. Although we don't have to do much, the danger level is probably a little higher than staying here..."
"You guys choose one among yourselves, we'll set off in ten minutes."
Colin didn't waste any time. After this group of people came out, his next task also came out.
Take four people with you to continue to investigate further.
Of course, the best case scenario is to capture a certain number of abnormal things, hand them over to the company, and then start the next subsidiary event...
"It seems that the company has received information that Jin Ka is here, but has not locked down the specific location."
Colin pursed his lips and made some guesses about the progress of the current task.
But before I could think too much, a shout came from the campfire.
"Brother Shunzi, the person has been chosen."
"You've chosen it already? So quickly?"
Colin was surprised. He thought that this group of people would make various excuses because of the danger of following the mission, and finally they would have to select the personnel by tossing coins, playing rock-paper-scissors, etc.
But unexpectedly, the candidate appeared in less than three minutes.
However, when Colin saw the names of these four people standing up, he was not surprised at all.
"'Life Coach Kawaii', 'Son of Sexual Abuse', 'Foul Mushroom', 'Rookie No. 7'..."
Having not noticed it before, Kelin did not expect that it would be this group of familiar faces.
"We talked about this on the train before. If you have any requests, Brother Shunzi, as long as the task is not too bad, we will definitely come!"
"This time we came here right after seeing the mission..."
The "Son of Sexual Abuse" patted his chest, and the other two nodded.
"Yes, yes! I didn't expect you to be here too. It seems that all of our five people except Sun Huang have arrived. I don't know if they didn't receive this mission, or refused it, or something else."
The rookie looked around and couldn't help but say.
But before he could finish, "Foul Mushroom" patted him on the shoulder:
"On the bright side, he might just be dead."
I'm touched. Next time, if I can't find a D-level candidate, I'll just pick one from you three... Colin felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
The reason why I didn’t invite these acquaintances before was simply because their value wouldn’t be very high if they went.
What he needs is employees who have some craftsmanship...
But this time, just based on their attitude, it is worth giving them a "Seven-Day Adventure in Another World" gift package.
On the other side, the "life mentor Keaiduo" looked at the small circle of three people and didn't say anything. The reason why he came this time was very simple, that is, he came for Brother Shunzi's reputation.
Besides, now he wasn't worried about Project Advent.
As far as he knew, once a "Project Arrival" had been assigned to a certain place, it would generally not be replaced by other similar missions, so as long as he could go back, he would not have to worry about being forcibly sent back later.
"Okay, now that the candidates have been chosen, let's get ready and start the action."
"As for the others, if you find anything wrong, immediately communicate with me through the intra-brain channel. Tell me anything unusual."
Colin reminded the others not to be careless, and then took the four employees into action.
"By the way, where exactly is this place? Why are there so many bones?" The rookie looked at the scene here and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either. I only know it's a starship. These bones are probably from an enemy or something..."
Colin casually explained the information he had collected so far.
This so-called "starship" of a celestial body is probably much larger than the moon.
After hearing his words, several people couldn't help but be amazed. It was hard to imagine how this place was built.
"The company actually had such a glorious side back then. It even built a fucking... starship." To express his surprise, "Life Mentor Keaiduo" rarely swore.
Many strange props in the company can be explained by anomalies, but these things cannot be made without hard power.
He thought the "ghost train" incident was a big scene, but if the battlefield was scaled in space, their previous "big scene" would be a bit like a village fight in ancient times...
"Who owns this company? The more I know, the more outrageous it seems..." Another D-level employee couldn't help but sigh and sent a message to the team group in his mind.
Unfortunately, no one here can give an answer to this question.
Colin did not interrupt the conversation between the few people. He followed the task instructions and observed several employees. He noticed that compared with their previous meetings, their movements this time were much more "standard".
It seems to be in a state where it can counterattack immediately at any time.
It cannot be said that this state did not exist in the past, but it was not as "capable" as it is now.
"It seems that the guidance of the C-rank brother is quite effective. In a short period of time, he has improved their ranks by a large margin... I just don't know how many times they died to become so proficient."
Colin muttered in his heart, then withdrew his thoughts.
Shortly after leaving the camp, about ten minutes later, they followed the investigation instructions of the mission and found an arched hillside of bones.
Through flame sensing, Colin was able to determine that there was an unknown facility at the bottom of the hill.
After thinking for a while, Colin pointed at the pile of bones. A ball of fire surged along his finger, burning all the bones that blocked the target. Then he saw a cylindrical metal extending from the ground.
It is about ten meters in diameter, like a huge chimney, and its surface is extremely smooth.
At the same time, an inspiration emerged from the mission.
Colin tilted his head and continued walking , coming to the chimney-like building and putting his hand against the metal wall.
The cold and hard metal touch came...
But, after more than ten seconds, it seemed like nothing happened?
However, just as Colin had this thought, he saw a light flashing where his palms were placed.
Circles of light spread out like ripples on water...
[Verification... passed...]
An intermittent mechanical female voice sounded in my ears.
Immediately afterwards, a part of the place where Colin touched felt extremely hard. The black metal that was not even affected by the campfire just now began to wriggle, and then sank inward, revealing a downward passage.
"I thought this place had completely fallen, but I didn't expect that it still retains a certain degree of operational capabilities..."
Colin did not enter immediately, but instead thought about it and let the flames flow in.
Soon, he had a general idea of the scene inside: the spiral staircase, the dense and complex metal corridors, and a large number of inhuman life auras that seemed to appear and disappear...
"The situation inside is quite complicated, but overall, it is still within the scope of coping."
Colin nodded his chin, then retracted the flame and stepped directly into it.
Seeing this, several D-level employees behind him followed without hesitation...
Having experienced all kinds of things as a team together, they had no doubt at all about Brother Shunzi's judgment.
Just as Colin thought, after they successfully walked up the spiral staircase, they came to a fork in the road.
There are six passages at the fork in the road, shaped like a Chinese character "米", leading straight to different directions. Each passage is relatively spacious, about seven or eight meters wide, and there is a layer of ashes on the ground.
On the thick
It’s a pity that you can’t see far because everything is obscured by the black fog.
"Brother Shunzi, which way should we go? Or should we explore separately?" The "Son of Sexual Abuse" looked around and asked curiously, then rubbed his throat and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
The bones were weathered so much that dust filled the air, making his throat feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the ashes themselves are not dangerous, just be careful to avoid inhaling more...
"Not separate."
Colin looked around and randomly chose a direction to move forward.
After he came down, the task instructions disappeared, probably leaving him to do it on his own.
