Chapter 416 In the 40th Millennium...
"If I hadn't planned to accept your help, hadn't asked about this matter, and didn't know the situation here... maybe I wouldn't care. Now that I know about it and happen to be able to solve it, there's no need to leave it behind."
The long sword transformed from "Revolver Retrograde" burst out circles of astonishing flames in Colin's hand.
Seeing this scene, the face under the Night Owl helmet opened his mouth and finally said:
"What are you going to do?"
He couldn't imagine what the other party should do to help everyone eliminate pollution.
"Transmit the fire..."
Colin responded with a smile, then looked around: "But we'll have to wait."
He plans to keep some tricks here.
Of course, this keeping a hand does not mean cutting off a hand like some "fire holders" do.
That kind of thing, even if he wanted to do it, he couldn't, because that guy used his own hands and some containment objects to make a prop. This... maybe he would have a chance in the future, but he couldn't do it now.
Colin's method is to set up a "bonfire sacrifice site" at this point...
As an outstanding talent, he is now qualified to light that kind of "bonfire sacrificial site".
However, this sudden idea was also supported by someone who might be peeking at the screen from behind, and he had a new task.
[Special event: Find the right materials and light a special bonfire. ]
…
"It should be the help from 'Ms. Rabbit'. She really is..."
Colin was touched.
Although he could light a bonfire himself, the effect would be far worse than the support of the big boss behind the scenes.
As for the right materials for a bonfire…
There are generally two types of these: one is on yourself, and the other is on others.
In this land of abundant resources...
He chose the second option without thinking.
Then, Colin looked at this space and recalled the locations of some unusual things he had seen when he was traveling through this land just now.
Then, he exerted force with his legs and feet and jumped out.
Like a missile flying by at high speed, leaving behind a long tail of flame...
Night Owl stared at the other party in a daze until he disappeared, then he looked back at the four people left behind:
"Do you know what he's going to do?"
"Not sure."
"Life Mentor Keaiduo" said as he stroked his chin, remembering that in "World No. 13", Brother Shunzi had thrown some monster corpses into the bonfire, and then said with a slightly strange expression:
"But some anomalies should be unlucky."
After that, he paused for a few seconds, and before they could continue asking questions, he added: "Wait a minute."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard some deafening vibrations coming .
The four colleagues were not surprised, but Ye Xiao and others couldn't help but gasp. It was too powerful.
It has been who knows how long it has been since they last saw such a powerful individual.
The wait didn't last too long, only about half an hour, and then there was a rumbling sound in the sky.
A huge fireball swooped down from the sky.
Colin was dragging a chain in his hand, on which were entangled some heretic corpses that still exuded a terrifying aura.
"Is there a suitable place? I'll light a fire." Colin flew in the air, his whole body covered with flames, like a god.
Ye Xiao and the others were shocked again when they saw the things that had been killed in the other party's hands.
If they were in charge of these things, they might have to plan for several days before they could start taking action, and in the end they would sacrifice a large number of people and might not even be able to succeed.
But the other party killed several people in less than half an hour.
Seeing the expressions of these people, Colin fell from mid-air and asked the same question again.
At the same time, he also tried to "compress" some ideas and throw them to these people as "inspiration".
Night Owl immediately understood what Colin was going to do.
"This thing is quite useful..."
Colin muttered secretly, this "inspiration" is not difficult to obtain, as long as the mental state is up to standard, he can use it.
It can make the other party understand what you want to express more clearly...
This avoids misunderstandings.
After mastering this method, Colin discovered that tasks also had similar techniques, that is, he could only communicate face to face, and he was not clear about how the company attached "inspiration" to inanimate objects or tasks.
"This... can this thing be ignited on a chariot and then carried around?" Night Owl asked.
“It can be done.”
Seeing Colin nod, Night Owl immediately dispatched a larger chariot.
Soon, as the remaining wails came from the corpses of the abnormalities, an unusually bright flame rose in Colin's hands.
[Bonfire Sacrifice Site (Not Placed): Level 3.]
[Remaining burnable time: 184 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes.]
[Feature 1: Bonfire Blessing - As long as you offer enough sacrifices, you can receive the blessing of the bonfire and be protected from external pollution. Each blessing lasts for three hours...]
[Feature 2: Abnormal Burning - When a humanoid creature actively passes through a bonfire, it can stabilize its humanity and burn all the heretical things that are not eroded by itself (this effect is affected by the abnormal danger level and the depth of pollution)...]
[Feature 3: Unquenchable Firebearer - This flame can be raised to level 4. With sufficient fuel, it can branch out into 33 additional branch flames up to level 3. In addition, if the main fire is accidentally extinguished, other campfires can be re-ignited into a cluster of level 4 flames using advanced fuel.]
[In addition, for each branch flame, you can select a team of fire keepers (13 people).]
…
"That's good. Theoretically, as long as the flames are not extinguished all at once after they are separated, there will be a chance for them to reignite."
Looking at the bonfire in his hand, which had not yet been spread, after reading the brief information above, Colin nodded, turned slightly, held the fire in his right hand, and looked at the night owl beside him. Seeing his shocked expression, he knew that the other party had also obtained information related to fire...
Then he smiled and said, "Friend, would you like to pass on the fire?"
After hearing Colin's words, Night Owl slowly came back to his senses, and then nodded seriously:
"pass."
Just by standing next to it and being exposed to the flames for a few seconds, all the long-rooted pollution on the body had been dissolved.
If this is directly touched...
Wouldn't that mean all the filth on your body would have to be burned away?
After saying this, he carefully stretched out his hands and took the fire from Colin.
The moment the flame fell on his hand, he immediately felt his body enveloped by a warmth he had never experienced before.
The aura left by the anomaly continued to dissipate as expected...
"Incredible..." Night Owl muttered to himself.
As an elder in this war zone, he is a rare person with thirteen years of life experience.
He knew very well the significance of this flame. It meant that in the future, "losses" would be reduced to a very low level, and they would even have a chance to return to their peak legion strength of 12 million.
Taking a deep breath, he held the flame, walked to the chariot, and put down the unusually bright flame in his hand.
With a bang.
The flames immediately burst into flames.
After the scorching flames radiated, the people around them immediately felt their own pollution dissipating quickly.
"With it, the life expectancy of the expeditionary soldiers will probably be able to exceed nine years, or even ten years!" An accompanying officer couldn't help but sigh.
However, just after he finished speaking, everyone including Colin and his "life mentor" Keaiduo was dumbfounded.
"What did you just say?"
The rookie couldn't help but ask, "Nine or ten years old? Sorry I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"
"Well, nowadays the average life expectancy of soldiers is around seven years old. Even under the best protection, an individual can only live for fifteen years at most. Otherwise, they cannot withstand the pollution. For example, Night Owl is now thirteen years old..."
The accompanying officer did not hide anything and told the general situation again, especially his age, which made several people silent.
"You're...only six years old?"
"Life mentor is cute" suppressed the urge to swear, twitched the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the people around him.
It’s hard to imagine that this guy is... not even an adult yet?
The officers were not surprised by these people's surprise. They had read some information and knew that not everyone was like them, who only needed one month to grow up and then learn all the basic knowledge and war-related instincts through genetic information within three months...
The officer continued, "When the population is tight, the speed can be even faster, otherwise it will not be able to fill the gap."
"It feels like this group of people are coming out faster than white-feathered chickens..." Although it was inappropriate, Keaiduo couldn't help but think of it.
"Are you guys able to afford the food?" Colin asked.
This time, before the officer could speak, a night owl came down from the campfire and explained for his companion:
“We are not short of . Our only problem is pollution, but you have solved it now.
"As for our own growth, I'm sorry, I can't tell you about it, but my genetic memory tells me that after the war is over, our birth rate will slow down and we will grow more...healthily."
Ah, this...
Ke Lin didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite normal. How can a place where people die every day give them another childhood?
In addition to general technology, the "breeding hall" probably also uses some advanced "props" to create mysterious effects.
"By the way, level 4 flames require the core body of a level 2 containment object. You guys..." Colin asked.
There must be creatures of this level in this kind of ghost place, but he didn't find any just now. He only saw some creatures of the highest level three that were neither strong nor weak.
Although the "Flood" is a second-level creature, this thing is a bit special and its main body is not here.
However, even if he really found a Level 2 containment object, Colin would not be able to move, because fighting him at this level would take a long time...
"It's not a big problem. We have dealt with a lot of things over the years. I will pass on this flame when the time comes. Don't worry..." Night Owl said with gratitude.
There isn't much in this place, but there are tons of abnormal creatures.
Not to mention the containment of a Level 2 threat...
It’s a first-level figure that occasionally appears.
The question is whether you can win.
Hearing him say this, Colin did not continue the topic. During the last moment, he stood on a hillside and looked at the battlefield in the distance while communicating.
According to Night Owl, the situation here normally takes several days to deal with.
But there may be a "reversal" in a while.
So when it’s almost time, we’ll withdraw.
At the same time, Colin also understood some of the habits of these "Flood Demons" and knew that it was the arrival of himself and others that awakened them.
If their breath is not leaked, they will remain dormant.
The Legion can also take advantage of them to wipe out these things without bloodshed while they are dormant.
"If I had worn , I might have been able to prevent them from waking up. But then, I wouldn't be able to move quickly or search for people in a large area..."
Colin shook his head secretly. If he had to do it again, he would probably have no choice but to do this.
Otherwise, if you look for him bit by bit, you don’t know how long it will take to see him.
Afterwards, looking at the battlefield in front of him, there was nothing wrong overall. However, looking at the irregular advance, he somewhat wanted to express his opinion, such as a certain position had moved forward a few hundred meters or something like that.
But after thinking about it, I held back.
This is something that only a certain chairman would do.
He can't do that.
After watching for a while, there was a sudden vibration from the side. Colin turned his head and his pupils changed slightly, and he saw another wave of "steel torrent" coming.
The night owl on the side saw his movement and turned his head as well, but didn't see anything.
But soon, he realized why Colin was staring at that place.
"They are here to assist in the operation. There is still half an hour left. Perhaps we should go to the designated location first and wait until the appointed time to open the way to the core layer..."
"The situation in the 'core layer' area is very chaotic. There are many anomalies and pagans in the 'time reversal', and their strength is very strong..."
"Whether it's the environment or anything else, we don't support sending a large army in."
"So, we can only send some personnel who are familiar with the situation to lead you to the specific location of the target and open some special passages..."
"When you complete your mission and come out, we will support you outside."
Listening to Night Owl's words, Colin and others nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Generally, when a "reversal" occurs, the legions stationed here will hide in a safe area to avoid running into certain things and causing heavy losses.
Wait until the "reversal" is over, then come out to "clean up" here.
However, in order to ensure their colleagues' tasks, they decided to make some sacrifices.
"If we don't really need someone to lead the way, I feel that we can probably just go in by ourselves. After all, according to past rules, there is a certain probability that we can leave directly through the 'Advent Protocol' the moment we get the item..."
If that's the case, then the team that went in with them, after they suddenly left...
I'm afraid it won't end well.
"As for the 'reversal' they mentioned, there is a high probability that the team will be sacrificed directly. This... Oh, by the way, if this is the case, they should give a certain time. Then we can send everyone out in time and then return..."
Colin's mind was turning, and he had some general ideas.
Then, taking advantage of the remaining time, he subconsciously opened the team information exchange in his mind.
I plan to remind people outside that there will most likely be some minor troubles soon, so let them be prepared.
However, after seeing the records of conversations during this period, Colin's expression was somewhat strange.
"Qingshan Lushui: So boring, I've finished the barbecue, feeling a bit full, it seems I can go back soon, brothers, give me some links you know, go back and have a look..."
"Rookie No. 7: You are a D-class personnel, one of the current senior executives of the company, and you actually read this stuff?"
"Book Magician: What? Ordinary people can see it, but we D-class personnel can't?"
"Rookie No. 7: No, I mean, send it to me and I'll help him look at it."
"The Great Old One - Ying Zheng: Damn, I didn't notice that the book master is here. It happens, @Book Magician, brother, there is a book I have been looking for for a long time... The content is roughly..."
"Book Magician: No problem, @Old One Ying Zheng, in the 40th millennium, the Emperor personally led me and 19 Primarchs to kill 29 great demons in a short period of time..."
"Life mentor Keaiduo: @本子魔法师, you... I don't know whether to complain about your 40K emperor standing up from the toilet, or complain about something else..."
