Chapter 417 Don't worry, there is basically no chance of an accident
“Ah, this…”
"If I hadn't known that you were on a mission, just looking at your information records, I would have thought you were out for sightseeing and vacation, camping, barbecuing, etc. You guys are moving forward quite smoothly..."
"If I had brought a camera, I would have had to take two 'V' photos."
Ke Lin was silent for a moment. He was working so hard here, while those people were eating, drinking and having fun outside...
It’s hard to say how capable the people the company recruited are, but their mentality is quite stable.
"Speaking of which, the one with the strongest mentality right now should be the guy in the hospital. He asks for help day after day, but he hasn't gone crazy or had a mental breakdown. I just don't know... is this guy a 'human' or something else now."
After his mind wandered for a few seconds, Colin interrupted the group's "vacation" and asked everyone to get ready.
Big things may be coming...
According to Night Owl's intelligence, when the time comes, "Time Reverse Current" will return to reality from a special space that does not belong to the present, and with its appearance, only a few places on the entire starship will be unaffected.
"From what I can see, even if you are covered in bonfire, you will be tricked without even realizing it. I have been tricked before, but compared to some weaklings who didn't realize it after repeated attempts, I noticed it quickly..."
Colin pinched his forehead. As he held his "sealed right hand", he was not too worried about this.
I just don't know what will happen to those D-level employees outside...
"With the temporary bonfire sacrificial site, even if something goes wrong, it won't be a big problem. Once I take the things away and this phenomenon is resolved, everything should be fine."
After a quick thought, Colin felt that his logic should be correct.
After reminding the group of guys who looked like they were on vacation, they packed up and waited for the team to arrive.
But in about ten minutes, Colin saw the assistance team that the other party mentioned.
A fully armed elite team of about thirty people.
The armor is uniformly covered in black, but the weapons carried on their backs are a little different. They are plasma and laser weapons of varying specifications, and they are equipped with some melta knives and the like for close combat.
"These equipments are so cool..." The newbie on the side couldn't help but sigh.
"It has a pure human physique, without any trace of metaphysics, but its quality should be much stronger than that of ordinary people on Earth. With that special armor, even its combat strength alone is very impressive."
Colin looked at them curiously and made a rough assessment. Although he didn't sense any special props or items, he could tell that they were equipped with standard weapons.
If used against D-class personnel, the chances are pretty good.
Night Owl's eyes swept over the team, then looked at Colin: "They are the ones who will act with you later. Different from those who grew up in three months, these are all elite units that are trained in one year, and are at the peak of their three-year-old period..."
"Well, I think I just learned to walk when I was one year old, and I could only speak a little bit fluently when I was three years old..."
Colin muttered in his heart, but his face showed no expression: "So should we go there now?"
"Well, I will accompany you for a distance, but I will not go into the core area with you. When the time comes, you can find this person, let's call her Nightingale. She is the captain of this team..."
Night Owl called out the team leader.
They communicate with each other because they have some special auxiliary systems implanted to quickly tell who is who.
But in the eyes of outsiders, I'm afraid they are all exactly the same...
After a simple handover, the action began. Colin and his companions followed the small team of more than 30 people and began to head towards the core layer.
"There is a gate path leading to the core layer, but now, it is definitely blocked. We can only go through some special passages that were reserved a long time ago..."
"We always send people to check these passages, and generally there will be no accidents."
"You just need to enter according to the established route."
At this point, Night Owl seemed to have thought of something, and warned again: “However, if you really encounter something, when you should give up, just give up decisively, and don’t worry about us.
"For us, death is just a return to the 'bonfire', not the end of everything."
Based on the mindset of the people sent by this company, he was very worried that they would "lose the big picture for the small."
"Is it not nice to say this in front of other people?"
Colin couldn't help but glance at the other members of this elite team, but unfortunately, they were all motionless and it was impossible to tell if they had any unusual emotions.
Without nodding in agreement or saying no, Colin asked other questions:
"There's something in the 'core layer'...? What happened?"
"I'm not very clear. I just know that every once in a while, there will be a lot of abnormal things and pollution seeping out. Our existence is to ensure that the overflow of pollution does not exceed a certain value..."
Is that so... Colin nodded: "Then, if I recycle that item, will it have any impact on this?"
If it is taken out, this place will collapse immediately.
It seems that it would be inappropriate to take it away?
"Yes, but it won't be very big, because the time and space here have already been changed by the first batch of people, so the presence or absence of this item will not affect the overall situation..."
“On the contrary, maybe it’s better if it’s gone.”
"Because 'Time Reversal' is originally one of the starship's defense mechanisms. It would not work on its own people. But because this prop is in a state of being out of control, it has become difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, disrupting . After taking it away, we don't have to worry about it triggering additional 'Time Reversal'."
Night Owl briefly explained the current situation and told them not to worry.
In fact, according to them, the reason why they kept checking the passage leading down, besides to determine the whole situation, was to solve the problem of this thing that was "going crazy" all the time.
After hearing the explanation, Colin felt relieved and asked some more questions about the enemy.
"Among the anomalies, apart from a few high-level containment objects, the most troublesome are the 'Flood'. We have marked the containment objects so we can avoid them, but not these. They occupy a large amount of space below, merge and devour a lot of other anomalies, and even transform the environment to a certain extent..."
"As for other heretical forces, the ones we need to pay the most attention to are the people of the Night and the Chosen Ones of various heretical forces. But we still have to go down to find out the details, because every ten years or so, new things will appear down there. By now, it has become so chaotic that we can't investigate it accurately."
"Besides that, there are all kinds of mad demons... But because some special projects require fuel, we have already hunted down all the low- and medium-level demons ourselves. Only some high-level demons are still there."
Night Owl explained the situation of the core layer bit by bit.
In addition to various operating rooms, it is actually a residential area, but the confidentiality level is higher.
But later, after a long war broke out, it became a battlefield.
At this time, "Life Coach Keaiduo" seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Oh, by the way, I heard you say that every once in a while, disasters would break out down there, but after a while, they would disappear on their own? Is there any specific explanation for this?"
"I'm not sure, because during this period of time, we have to hibernate, otherwise there will be a large-scale death. The reason is that some high-level life forms, or even more powerful things that cannot be heard, heard, or known, will appear..."
"You don't have to worry about this. The last time it appeared was three years ago. According to the rule of once every ten years or so, it will take at least two years at the earliest..."
"So don't worry, there is basically no chance of accidents, you don't have to worry."
Night Owl said there was no need to worry about these things.
However, after hearing his words, "Life Mentor Keaiduo" and others not only did not feel relieved, but became even more panicked, and then subconsciously looked at Brother Shunzi who was sitting next to Yexiao——
Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems.
But if this person were here, the situation would be uncertain.
Noticing their gazes, Night Owl also looked in their direction: "What's going on?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I was a little worried at first, but after hearing what you said, I feel much more relieved." Life mentor Keaiduo said "with tears in her eyes".
Night Owl, who didn't communicate much with people, didn't notice much.
Colin didn't say anything. To be honest, he was a little panicked.
Logically speaking, there should be no problem if you take the gold card, don't go into deeper areas, and don't do anything forbidden.
that is……
"Oh, forget it. Let's just take it one step at a time. No matter if something goes wrong or not, we should just prepare for what might happen."
Colin collected his thoughts and continued to learn about the "core layer" information with Night Owl.
Another ten minutes passed, and the battlefield stopped in front of a giant pillar with a diameter of three hundred meters.
The pillars connected the upper and lower parts, exuding a cold black sheen, and were made entirely of some unknown metal.
"It's here." Night Owl got out of the car and pointed to a certain place.
There is an archway five meters wide and three meters high...
If it were placed on an ordinary building, this door would not be small, but on this pillar, if you don’t look carefully, you may not be able to see it.
Colin looked over and saw the archway open. It was dark and scary inside, and there was a faint, disturbing smell.
Outside the arch, a group of fully armed legionnaires were stationed.
After a simple final farewell, Night Owl left and headed to the legion to take charge.
"Sir, we will lead you from now on. If you have any questions, just ask."
The team leader Nightingale stepped forward and stood beside Colin, but her voice was processed by the armor and became an electronic sound that made it difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Compared to Night Owl, her words were much more concise and she seemed not good at conversation.
"Um."
Colin nodded and looked towards the arch.
Then, without hesitation, the events began.
The team of more than 30 people was divided into five teams according to a certain proportion, with three teams walking in the front, Colin and others walking in the middle, and two more behind to protect the rear.
The moment they walked through the door, they immediately felt something strange in their bodies.
The whole person felt inexplicably top-heavy and unstable, as if he would fall down at any time.
However, the problem was not very big, and after the initial reminder, Colin and others did not say much. They steadied themselves a little and continued to move forward.
This time, Colin did not let the flame spread, but simply turned it into a fireball and held it in the palm of his hand.
Although the flames on my body can ensure that I can defend myself at any time...
But at the same time, it will also attract the enemy's attention.
No matter how powerful the Fire Bearer is, his abilities are not suitable for hiding himself. Instead, once the flame is lit, all eyes will be on him.
The team was basically moving forward in the dark, with only a little light coming from the dim lights above their heads...
But for them, this is enough.
Behind the arch is a "Z"-shaped downward staircase similar to a normal emergency staircase.
The air was dull and chilly, with faint whispers occasionally heard.
Walking in the middle of the team, Colin prepared to move forward while taking two deep breaths to analyze the specific situation.
But before I could move my nose, I heard a deep breath in my ear...
Obviously, the four teammates started to "exert their efforts".
"Tsk, I really feel like a dog..."
Colin muttered, he didn't quite believe in these men's castration talent, and then he took a breath secretly.
"The overall smell is that of various 'Flood' odors, occasionally mixed with some very strong auras, but not much. It should be very far away. Hmm, or it is still trapped in the 'time reversal'."
He probably had a certain judgment about the current danger.
And they kept going down, walking for about ten minutes, and Nightingale, who was in front of Colin and the others, that is, in the third row, suddenly made a gesture.
The team stopped immediately, and then, under Colin's puzzled gaze, she reached out and pressed on the metal wall next to her, pushed hard, and the metal revolving door was pushed open, and a passage appeared.
"Is it so secret?" Colin was surprised.
I didn't think much about it and followed the team directly into the passage.
After that, after passing through several turns and unexpected secret passages, Colin's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a city space shrouded in some kind of illusory light...
And the place where they exited seemed to be an ordinary park.
But, I can’t take care of that.
At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and everyone stopped in their tracks.
Then, they saw a figure covered in blood, dragging a bloody serrated knife, rushing out from the woods of the small park with a mad look on his face.
On his body, there are a large number of strange worms the size of a human brain constantly gnawing at his body.
"No, I don't want to continue..."
"It hurts so much, damn bug, get off my body, stop biting me, stop eating me..."
"Let me die! Let me die, ahhhhh! Don't keep repeating it!"
“Die, die!”
“Haha, hahahaha, ah—”
“…”
"This seems to be a pagan? Because he is strong enough, he realizes that he is repeating himself?"
Colin was secretly shocked.
However, it seems that this is not a good thing.
I saw the crazy figure sawing his own body with the teeth of a saw, and using his bloody head to hit the surrounding buildings.
It seems like he wants to kill himself like this...
Unfortunately, his strong physique prevented him from dying so easily .
A few minutes later...
The scene here is like a movie, going back and forth, returning to the beginning.
"We can continue now. It will take at least five minutes for it to appear next time. If everything goes well, it should only take thirty minutes to reach that location, but..."
As he spoke, the leader Nightingale looked at Colin, as if hinting at something.
Colin nodded, and without hesitation, he took out the orange card "Sealed Right Hand" from his pocket.
