Chapter 597 "Brother Shunzi!"
"My memory has been restored, but my body is still not quite there. However, it's not impossible to recover. I just need to use the power of the 'bonfire' to recover immediately. And after recovery, I will have to face a lot of trouble..."
After a pause, Colin suddenly thought of something and motioned Shana to put him down. Then he said with some complaints:
"Come to think of it, I was almost badly tricked by that damned 'Sea God' successor."
"What's wrong?" Shana raised her hand and touched her hair.
"I vaguely sensed you before, so even though I was in a deep sleep, I still asked him to throw me towards the 'light'. In the end, this guy threw me next to 'White Night'..."
Colin couldn't help but complain.
Isn't this just throwing meat buns at a dog, it's a one-way trip?
"So there is such a thing..." Shana was a little surprised.
"Yeah, luckily nothing serious happened, otherwise this brat would have been in big trouble."
As Colin spoke, he realized the possible consequences and felt a little scared.
"What happened in that sea? How did it become like this?" Shana asked curiously.
At that time, Colin not only had a lot of negative effects on him, but was also branded by various ancient gods.
Then, after a dip in the sea, everything disappears?
"That guy, probably, used his own 'authority' combined with some company functions I'm still unsure of to completely dilute me, and then gradually release my problems into the sea..."
Colin gave a brief description.
This is also the reason why his body "shrank" and his short-term memory became extremely vague.
But then he thought of other things and didn't think too much about it, but his expression gradually became serious.
"There's something I need to say. Maybe I won't leave..."
As Colin spoke, he saw Shana nodded without comment, pretending to listen, and continued speaking.
"Generally speaking, I have two options in this regard. The first is to find a similar place and, with my current identity, completely bury myself in seclusion..."
"If I make this choice, it means I give up becoming a 'Fire Bearer'..."
Colin briefly explained the situation.
However, Shana could clearly see that this was definitely not his choice...
"Although I always like to say that I believe in the wisdom of future generations, the further we go, the more difficult it will be. If I make this choice, it will almost be the end of everything..." Colin explained.
Perhaps those people in the company may have other candidates arranged after him.
But it has nothing to do with him anymore.
"The second option is to fight for everything I have! After reaching C-rank and establishing a deeper connection with the Bonfire, I already had some rough ideas..."
"Then we'll give it a try and see what this so-called 'bonfire' is like."
After a pause, Colin added, "There are many possibilities. The best is, of course, becoming a Fire Wielder. While I'm not sure what I'll gain, I think there's a good chance I can keep myself safe."
Colin shared some of his speculations. At present, it is still uncertain what will happen if the "Fire Wielder" succeeds.
Even if the Fire Bearer is very good at fighting, it would be difficult to defeat enemies of this magnitude if it relies solely on itself.
However, since the "gods" are so afraid, there is obviously something else.
The most likely option is to accept some of the company's legacy.
Moreover, no matter what, nowadays, we must fight once...
If there is no outbreak, there will be destruction.
Although at that time he was working with the "Gods" to fight against the "Red Moon".
Colin asked them not to actively harm ordinary people...
However, if there is some cost, even if they are not proactive, they can still have a huge impact on ordinary people.
So... everyone has no way out.
"If, in the end, it really doesn't work, then I'll try to leave some sparks. This is the only thing I can do..."
Colin already had the worst plan in mind.
Although he is still confident, confidence cannot change the facts, so he has to make some backup preparations.
When that time comes, future generations will have to believe it even if they don’t.
Shana, who was sitting on the side, rested her elbows on her knees, her palm supporting her chin, tilted her beautiful head, and looked at him quietly. After she finished speaking, she asked:
"Whatever you want to do, I will always support you."
"Um."
Colin nodded with emotion, then looked up at the sky, estimating something:
"We'll have to wait and see. The time is not right yet."
He looked at the broken world before him and was silent for a moment:
"The 'Gods' are biding their time, waiting for the 'Red Moon' to fade away, but am I not the same?
"Once the power of Red Moon subsides, some of the company's system functions will be restored...
"When the time comes, I'll try to give these guys who are rushing out to attack me a big surprise, letting them experience the power of a desperate reserve force..."
Of course, this would take time for the impact to wear off and the signal to connect, and he would have to get a little help from Ms. Rabbit.
Got Rosen, and some other Fire Bearer stuff.
If everything goes well and he gets the result he wants, his chances of success will reach 10%!
It doesn't sound high though.
But compared to before, this can be said to be the difference between having and not having, which can be regarded as a qualitative change.
However, this is just a vague guess. Colin is not quite sure what will happen at that time or whether there will be other unexpected variables.
In everything, it is enough to do one's best.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the light and shadow around him and hesitated for a moment: "Shana, are you willing to fight with me?"
"Yes, I do."
Shana said unsurprisingly.
Hearing this, without giving it much thought, Colin, deeply moved, stepped forward, hugged Shana tightly, and then couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.
Shana was stunned for a moment by his "bold" behavior, then smiled, and while Colin wasn't paying attention, she picked him up and responded with a "bo" sound.
"It's a pity that you are still too young now..." Shana pursed her lips, smiled, and put Colin down.
"We'll talk about it later."
Colin nodded and clenched his fists, "We will win."
"I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself too. Don't give up. I will always be with you to face everything." Shana said like a promise.
"Um."
Colin nodded seriously, indicating that he would never give up easily.
"Um……"
Shana said, and suddenly changed her tone, as if it was no different from usual, but also seemed to have some strange taste, "So, Mr. Colin, do you have anything else to say?"
Hearing this, Colin had a bad feeling and thought about it carefully.
The various preparations and consequences seemed to be roughly the same as those just mentioned...
But seeing Shana's tone, Colin hesitated and said uncertainly: "It seems that there is nothing else..."
"Hmph..." Shana's expression was unusually peculiar, and she smiled with a malicious expression. "Do you mind if I ask you something, Mr. Colin?"
"...Uh, go ahead." Colin nodded.
"Would you mind talking to me about Miss Liu Yun?"
Shanna asked curiously.
She still remembered clearly how the lady had risked everything, even her life, to escort Colin, and she was somewhat moved by it...
"Oh, she..."
Colin suddenly realized something, then glanced at Shana, but he couldn't see any expression. He spoke with mixed feelings:
"There's nothing I can't say."
After briefly explaining the situation, Colin's face was filled with melancholy and complexity.
Some remaining information collected during the "Love Paradise" incident showed that even if the "Love Paradise" had not gotten out of control, its pass rate was not high. Back then, many of the companies' "elites" rushed in confidently, hoping to challenge their weaknesses. However, they all returned empty-handed one by one.
Colin didn't quite understand why before.
Now I kind of understand it...
Although many things in it are fake and arranged, it does not play tricks on you. Once the "characters" in it "awaken" like Liu Yun, the emotions are real, autonomous and unique...
How can anyone bear this?
It's impossible to prevent it, it's impossible to prevent it at all...
"Really..."
Shana listened and said, "I remember she seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Maybe we can save her?"
I don't have any jealous thoughts, I just feel that it's a pity for such a life.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we have to wait until we come into contact with that little guy in the sea to find out the details. If he was swept into the sea at that time, there is a high chance that he would survive, but..."
Colin shook his head: "Even if she's alive, she's unlikely to want to wake up."
This may be the best outcome now.
If you think about it carefully, "Boss Huang He", the initiator of "Love Paradise", has really done a lot of harm to people.
After that, there was silence for a while.
Then Shana suddenly raised her hand and rubbed Colin's head hard, breaking the silence and talking about something else.
For example, some employees and the current state of the world...
Colin quickly understood the current state of the world.
First of all, the area cannot be said to be infinite, but at least, from half a year ago to now, Shana has not seen the exact boundary and end. Every time she passes a certain distance, she can see various overlapping "inner worlds".
Some can be gotten out by just walking straight ahead, while others may go around in circles. The world is extremely complicated.
"No wonder there are always various anomalies popping up in this world and they can't be completely eliminated." Colin couldn't help but say.
If nothing unexpected happens, these things seem to be the masterpieces of "Bonfire Company" -
Even if it's not, it has something to do with them.
Secondly, in terms of employees, according to statistics from "Life Mentor Koala", the surviving employees may have sacrificed about 40% or 50%, which is not a lot compared with the large-scale casualties of ordinary people.
But it’s definitely not too little…
Many people Colin knew were already dead, such as Keliduo's cheap apprentice "Baishu Keliduo", a person with a Martian name, and many others...
At the height of the crisis, Parchment even stopped operating for a while, and was not reopened until the "Deep Sea Era".
There are also restrictions on various functions, such as limited purchases in the mall, and the communication function is only available in certain areas, and sometimes it is not available, and most of the time it is not available...
It seems like now Colin can't even open it.
Apart from this, the only thing to be thankful for is that the more critical "task" mechanism is still in operation, and those who are still alive have basically been promoted to D-level.
Elite D-class with extremely rich combat experience!
"A big problem is that after a disaster, it no longer actively selects recruits."
Shana explained the information she had gathered: "Now, many employees who left this world through 'missions' or other means are trying their best to return here to provide support..."
She then mentioned some things, such as that many people had entered special missions such as the "non-existent hospital" and the "blood pool under the abyss".
There we escaped the most dangerous time of the disaster.
"It seems that 'Unyielding Brother' may have exerted his strength inside." Colin felt a little relieved.
But soon I couldn't feel relieved anymore...
Because, including the "non-existent hospital" and so on, many of them completely disappeared during the "deep sea era" and became silent.
Not knowing whether he was dead or alive, the surviving employees were unable to find out anything...
Colin picked up the parchment and, with his C-level authority, tried to sense the situation of these tasks and tried to gain some inspiration and knowledge.
But soon, he frowned and felt nothing.
Everything seemed to disappear.
If it simply disappeared, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key is, along with the mission record...
It seems like everything has been cleared out.
This is not something that foreign enemies can do.
"There seems to be a problem."
Colin instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
It’s hard to say about other places like the blood pool that he hasn’t been to, but after noticing something was wrong, Colin felt that something was wrong the last time he was in the “non-existent hospital”.
However, it cannot be tracked at the moment and can only be put on hold for the time being.
For a period of time afterwards, Colin accompanied Shana in the apocalyptic wasteland, enjoying the last period of leisure.
After feeling the breath of the "Red Moon", it was like the tide receding.
Colin and Shana came to a broken and damaged embankment near the sea and built a fire there.
Then, while grilling a large squid with several heads that he had just caught and burning it as a Qingming Festival offering for a deceased friend, he took out the parchment.
After waiting for a while, the communication function was restored.
"Brothers, let's wait for the final chicken game. If you win, you get chicken, and if you lose, you get a banquet. Is there anyone who wants to join me?"
After editing the message and sending it out, the other employees who were about to communicate wanted to say something, but when they saw the ID that they had been thinking about day and night and had not appeared for more than two and a half years, they realized that the message was not meant to be.
Everyone was stunned, rubbed their eyelids in disbelief, and then widened their eyes as wide as possible!
Brother Shunzi, are you logged in?!
