Chapter 410: Pre-war Rewards, No Return
The four employees didn't hear much of what was happening in the large corridor.
They could only see some glowing figures fighting here, their words were vague, and everything was extremely unclear, but from the pressure that came through the years, they could still roughly judge that the battle was of a very high standard.
As for Brother Shunzi, he probably heard something here and that’s why he looks at them like this…
They were not surprised by this situation. After all, dog eyes can usually see things that human eyes cannot see. Oh, no, it is Brother Shunzi who can always see things that ordinary people cannot see.
It was like this on the "Ghost Train", so there's nothing strange about it...
"Just now...did something strange happen?" "Life Coach Keaiduo" asked curiously.
However, Colin shook his head and said nothing more.
At this moment, he looked at the scrapped props in his hand and remembered the other party's last words.
A thoughtful look appeared on his face...
"Inheriting the power of the bonfire... I didn't notice it much when I watched it before, but now that I think about it, the way she uses this power is a bit like those heretical powers calling for God to descend. No, in general, it's more like 'God's attack'..."
Colin stood still, fiddling with the remains of the prop in his hand thoughtfully.
The other party is not a "fire bearer" and does not possess the corresponding items, but can borrow power to a certain extent.
This method is very similar to "God's Strike", one of the three official ways.
But she didn't have that stiff, self-losing feeling, and seemed very "complete" overall.
"I'm not sure, but if that's the case, it's pretty weird... Of the three major channels, two are related to the company. Needless to say, 'Fortune Telling' comes from the 'Book of Fortune Telling' that the company gave out. If this item is lost, this channel will probably be scrapped on the spot..."
"As for 'divine strike', I remember learning from a casual chat with Xuan Xuan before that this thing has little to do with the 'divine strike' in folklore..."
"It was just that the method was somewhat similar, and there happened to be such a name, so the official name was given to it."
"I don't think I've researched its specific origins. I'll ask about it when I get back. Maybe in the end, it's really related to the company. Well, not only that, the talisman seems to be related as well."
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Colin realized that it seemed that most of the extraordinary power channels were more or less related to the company.
Even another talisman is the same...
The company seems to use this kind of thing, too. For example, the guy playing with talismans on the train threw out a handful of talisman papers, and a machine gun would extend from each talisman...
Colin was quite impressed by this at the time.
"Not only domestic ones, but also those abroad. If all forces can find the source within the company, then things will seem very strange..."
Taking a deep breath, Colin suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
Then he handed the remains of the long knife to the miser and told him to put it back where he had picked it up from.
Those that could leave corpses behind were all somewhat strange.
It is better to avoid being contaminated if possible.
Then, Colin started walking again, passing through the corpses and heading towards the stairs at the end.
From the current perspective, this place has definitely been broken through.
I just don't know if I could last those ten minutes...
Seeing Colin leaving, several employees followed him without thinking much.
A few minutes later, Colin arrived at the negative fourth floor. After coming down for a while, he finally stopped looking at the maze-like "M"-shaped intersections and began to see some rooms...
When passing a gate, Colin looked up at the sign on the top of the gate: "I wonder which number it is, the breeding hall?"
Then, he looked inside and saw a strange device that looked like a culture chamber in a hall of tens of thousands of square meters.
There are some palm-sized things in here that look like unformed embryos.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a human...
Perhaps it was the influence of "Time Reverse", he seemed to hear a sound like a baby crying in his ears.
"Are these the devices that create tens of millions of people at any time?"
Colin's pupils focused on the dried embryos. He felt that a culture chamber of about ten cubic meters could accommodate dozens of people.
The capacity is quite high, but I don’t know how long it will take for a batch of people to come out…
"Hiss, there sound like babies crying, a lot of them, a bit creepy... Is this a device like cloning?" The rookie couldn't help but speak while hugging his arms.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it is indeed true..."
The "life mentor Keaiduo" who was following Colin nodded in affirmation.
Hearing his words, the "Son of Sexual Abuse" asked curiously, "By the way, how do special humans like companies usually deal with human relations? Won't they be criticized by some forces?"
The life coach glanced at Brother Shunzi, and seeing that he had no intention of answering, he spoke:
"I'm not sure, but there should be a set of human rights logic within the company, right? As for criticism... as long as no one in his company denies it, even if other forces know that they are doing something 'morally corrupt', the most they can say is to respect local customs..."
"That's true..."
Colin, who was listening, nodded secretly as he led the team forward, and based on his understanding of the company.
With such a huge scale...
If we only rely on traditional natural reproduction methods, the population may not be able to keep up .
Shaking his head without thinking much about it, Colin was attracted by some faint sounds in front of him. He looked across the corridor and saw that there seemed to be a temporary hospital in front of him.
During the original battle, there was apparently no agreement not to attack the wounded.
Humans and heretic forces are fighting a life-and-death battle for genocide, so the attacks here are quite severe.
From time to time, some blurry lights and sounds from the past flashed in the air.
It’s a pity that there isn’t much actual valuable content because the sound isn’t clear enough.
"But speaking of it, there are basically no monsters trapped in the 'Time Reversal' on this level. Most of them are just historical movies..."
"Most of those trapped are concentrated on the negative 1st to negative 3rd floors, and all of them are of average strength... This seems to be quite normal. Most of the powerful ones can sense the traps and will not easily enter."
"I just don't know who the 'they' those demons are afraid of is."
So far, Colin has seen many enemies who escaped from the "Time Reversal" in the first state, and they all seem to be running away.
They all seem to be afraid of something...
However, even after going down to the fourth floor below ground, they still didn't see anything that could scare these guys.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Colin and others entered a special room of about one thousand square meters.
The layout inside is a bit like some hotel lobbies...
Then, follow the instructions, close the door and keep your hand on it.
Then, a line of three-dimensional information that seemed to be wriggling appeared in the air...
[You are currently trying to enter the "living layer", but according to information feedback, there are still extremely polluted things in this area. Please confirm whether to continue to execute this command? ]
The living facilities on the underground fourth floor are so complete, but it is not considered a living area?
However, is there actually an elevator or something like that in this room?
Colin was surprised for a moment, then applied to continue the visit and conduct further confirmation according to the task instructions.
He was no longer surprised that some of the mechanical facilities in this place were still functioning.
“Crack.”
The entire room of about a thousand square meters shook.
Then, everyone felt a sense of weightlessness, and it seemed to be moving downwards very quickly...
"It's so noisy, taking an elevator feels like taking off or landing on a plane..."
Colin couldn't help but complain, and he slightly tightened his leg muscles and adjusted his stance to make himself stand more steadily.
Five minutes later...
The elevator didn't seem to reach the bottom yet.
Beside Colin, the "Son of Sexual Abuse" couldn't help but speak:
"Where are we going down? Are we going to fly to the center of the earth?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Colin was about to speak when something strange happened.
From behind them, seemingly from the center of the room, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly spread out.
This power did not explode, but its mere existence made everyone feel upset.
Almost at the same time, flames burst out from Colin's body. He turned around immediately and saw six extremely solid figures in the middle of the room. The powerful aura was emanating from these people.
"Don't be nervous, it seems to be just a historical image..."
After noticing their true nature, Colin immediately felt relieved.
These historical figures were sitting in the center, seemingly having a conversation. However, the sofas they were originally sitting on had long been damaged by the battle and were no longer in their original positions, so some of them were sitting in mid-air, while others were sitting on the sofas...
But that's not the point.
When Colin saw these powerful historical figures appear, he walked directly towards them, to spy on them as usual, no, to obtain intelligence.
"With this kind of momentum fluctuation, it feels like everyone is at least C-level. Tsk! I remember there are more than one similar elevator room here, but the mission instructions just happened to lead here. It seems that there are some arrangements..."
People of this level, even if they are just chatting, the intelligence and information they reveal must be extremely valuable!
Maybe there'll be a chance to figure out what happened on this starship.
The four people nearby saw what was happening and quickly followed without saying anything.
However, just two steps closer to them, Colin stopped in front of the team, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
"I seem to... feel that there are eyes other than ours... looking here."
One of the six senior members sitting together suddenly spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, extremely terrifying aura burst out from the other five people at the same time. The entire elevator room shook continuously and was even forced to stop at this moment.
The horrifying aura fluctuations made Colin and others present hold their breath, as if they were remembering that man.
But, a few seconds later...
"Where are the people?" one of the C-level personnel asked doubtfully.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, sit down. I just said that. I'm not sure, and even if it's true, it shouldn't be a bad thing..."
As the senior member calmed everyone down, Colin observed it as well, and could see a large number of fine black threads on his body.
These thin threads tremble and wriggle in the air...
"A member of 'Numerology' who has reached C-rank level."
Colin was secretly shocked. How could they observe him after such an unknown amount of time?
A bit exaggerated...
At this time, another senior C-level member said seriously: "How can you be sure that it is not a bad thing?"
"It has something to do with the Fire Bearer, too much to describe..."
After hearing this, the heavy atmosphere at the scene lifted and everyone returned to their original seats. At the same time, a C-level staff member who was sitting in a mold spoke up:
"Could it be related to the Fire Bearer boss who will be transferred to our starship soon?"
After hearing this, the C-level "Fortune Teller" thought for a few seconds and said, "Maybe, maybe not..."
"What you said is the same as not saying anything. You guys who borrow power from the 'Book of Numerology' are really... You love to speak in riddles and surprise everyone... There's a reason why you are selected as the number one group of people who want to be hit with a club the most."
"Don't worry too much about the details, as long as everything is okay." He waved his hand, revealing his teeth on his upper and lower lips, forming a smile that deserved a slap.
"never mind……"
A senior staff member sitting in the air shook his head, then leaned back, stretched and spoke:
"We have transferred so many personnel with different 'world numbers'. I thought we could go back and rest after the mission is over. Now it seems there is no chance..."
"really."
A C-level personnel wearing glasses and holding a thermos cup nodded in agreement:
"The pre-war reward, all D-level personnel were promoted to a lower rank. I've seen C-level treatment before, but even this is already a one-way trip...
“But it is unheard of that after reaching C-level, all members are promoted to a higher level and directly selected for B-level positions.
"Besides, a Fire Bearer boss will be parachuted in here soon, and I don't know what he will do..."
Hearing his words, the C-class personnel who were similar to "Fortune Teller" spoke up: "If it weren't for the pre-war reward, I think this would be a fight against a super-level life form. But with a pre-war reward, and such a high reward... it's hard to say for sure."
The pre-war reward is gone but never returned.
The more rewards you give, the less likely you are to come back alive...
However, even when dealing with a super-level life form, it is not necessary to pay such a price.
Even they don't know what to do next.
"Don't guess blindly. When the person arrives, you will know what to do."
A C-level staff member who had been silent interrupted everyone's speculation and scratched his hair in distress:
"My mission here is that my superiors want me to ensure that the starship can produce a stable armed force of tens of millions of people at any time, and that no matter how great the losses are, they must be replenished immediately. Who among you can take the initiative to apply to be transferred to the breeding hall and help me..."
"I can't do the breeding work, you do it on your own ."
A senior staff member sitting next to him moved his butt without hesitation upon hearing this, and sat on the other side of the sofa before his colleague reached out his hand.
"There are still five days until the Fire Embraceers arrive. Let me talk about something else... Hey, I got my daughter a life experience as a 'protagonist' on the home planet. I originally wanted to let her experience being a 'protagonist' with both parents, but now it seems that she has to follow the crowd..."
"Ha ha……"
"That's thoughtful. The Mother Planet Experience Card is not cheap, but it seems that there are many people like you. With so many people, will there be a world full of 'protagonists'?"
“…”
"Looking at this posture, the battle should not have started yet. I guess it should be a historical image before the invasion. However, this pre-war reward, and a 'Fire Bearer' has been here before..."
Listening to their words, Colin muttered the key words and vaguely realized that "Time Reverse" might come from the " coming" "Fire Bearer".
Unfortunately, the group did not go into more depth on these topics, but just talked about other things.
And, as time goes by...
After running for thirty minutes, the elevator seemed to have finally reached its destination, and the historical images on the sofa began to dim.
Even Colin could no longer hear their voices.
