Campfire Shelter

In Colin's mind, a picture quickly emerged——

The figure of a C-level personnel more than ten meters away suddenly disappeared, and appeared in front of him by incomprehensible means, and then raised a sandcastle-sized fist, and he met the enemy with a bone spur, but when he punched down, the bone spur pierced into the opponent's hands, but he also exploded into a ball of blood mist on the spot.

"Hey, isn't it just the conversation stage? Why did you suddenly take action? And this flash and one punch will kill me? What kind of monster is this?"

Thoughts flashed, Colin skillfully reached into his pocket and pinched a card.

In the next second, the figure of the C-level personnel suddenly appeared, and as expected, he raised his right fist and slammed it down at him.

Except for the flash, this action is not very fast, if there is no "fatal insight".

There is a high probability that Colin will indeed stab it with bone spurs.

But now, "Force·Repulsion" is activated!

The terrifying repulsive force explodes.

All items within the range were affected and pushed out directly.

After a while of tumbling, the opponent stopped his body and did not attack immediately. Instead, he looked at this side with his face covered or swallowed by the vortex, his figure staggering.

". So strong. The items are so strong. You are an enemy. You are so strong. Don't be afraid. I will take you home."

"Everyone can go home"

"go back."

There were waves of confused whispers in his ears, and there was obvious self-blame in the tone.

He even let out a low cry.

‘The aura is the same as the previous one, and it can be confirmed that it is indeed the same person, but the previous one speaks very rationally, and this personality who keeps guilting and repeating the original incident is simply two people.’

Colin watched carefully, trying to find some kind of breakthrough here. For example, could he use verbal stimulation to find a breakthrough?

Or should we just wait for the other party to completely lose their mind like we did on the train before?

However, just as Colin was thinking, he found that as the other party cried and wailed, there were a lot of weird eddies around, and the whole world began to give him a sense of unreality.

In this huge scene on the mountainside, other cultists were slowly disappearing.

Everything seems to have remained unchanged, but it seems that some unspeakable distortion has occurred invisibly.

"This effect is a bit like the 'Shield of Fairness and Notarization' pulling people in? No, we can't let him influence this place like this, we have to take the initiative."

Thinking of this, Colin took out a "colorless crystal" and swallowed it. A large number of flames burst out from his body, stirring in all directions, eliminating the invisible feeling of falling.

Then, he took out the "Revolver Retrograde", pointed it at the opponent and pulled the trigger.

Even as the muzzle flashes flashed, the enemy still didn't move.

clang clang clang.

The flaming bullet hit the opponent's skin, making a crisp metallic sound, and then burst into flames.

"This body is harder than it looks."

Colin's eyelids jumped when he saw those exploding bullet fragments.

However, he used this gun to trigger the "lethal" effect of thirty-three bullets, and he didn't expect such ordinary bullets to have much impact on the opponent.

"The 'death' effect can have a significant effect even on level 1 contained objects. If they all hit him, it should be no problem. Well, there are still 9 shots left."

After a round of firing, Colin immediately reloaded and continued to shoot.

But this time, I don't know if he sensed some threat, the breath of the crying and wailing figure suddenly changed, as if he had changed his personality all of a sudden, he tore off his brown coat with one hand, and flicked all the bullets out of the air. Dropped in the middle.

A slightly gray complexion, but with a metallic texture, and a muscular body with sharp edges and corners is revealed.

"Are you one of those... who hate mechanical life? Unfortunately, you met me"

The C-level man didn't know if he used some props, and made an arrogant voice, as if he regarded Colin as some kind of enemy he hadn't encountered before:

"A poor and weak machine can't fight against my body that has been tempered!"

"Why is the tone of this speech the same as suddenly using the 'false powerhouse', but even if it is, this item should not be effective for C-ranks."

Ke Lin couldn't help thinking about it, but he didn't wait to think about it, that is, after the words fell, a man with a body shaped like steel in front of him bowed slightly, and then appeared near him like a flash, and punched him.

Under the extremely strong instinct warning, he first took a few steps back to avoid the attack, opened a certain distance, and planned to finish the last round of bullets, but at this time, the opponent's figure flashed again

‘I remember the D-class personnel said that one of this guy’s famous tricks is that he can flash eighteen times in a minute? ’

While thinking about it, Colin manipulated the flames and erected a magnificent wall of fire to block between himself and the opponent

"boom!"

The violent impact hit, Colin's pupils shrunk, and when he saw the firewall that could block the mud-headed truck, he was blown away like a piece of paper.

However, as expected, Colin activated the effect of another golden card at the same time.

"He can't avoid using 'Time Stasis' now!"

Buzz!

Amidst the invisible roar, everything on the scene was pulled into an invisible stagnation. Colin looked at the figure stagnant in mid-air in front of him, without even thinking about it, he took out the dagger and tried to stab it directly into the opponent's body

However, what Colin didn't expect was.

The tip of the bone spur stopped in front of the skin, but it failed to penetrate!

"Oh my god, it's too hard."

Colin held the bone spur in his right hand, with a look of shock on his face, and then quickly turned his eyes, trying to find a wound or something on his body.

However, the original metal crack on the opponent's chest has been filled with a pile of swirling metal crystals.

There is almost no place to start with it!

In a hurry, Colin quickly took out his revolver, aimed at the opponent, and fired the final shot——

To trigger the "lethal" effect, you only need the bullet to hit, without breaking the defense!

That is to say, only a few rounds of bullets were fired, and only three rounds were left before the sound of clock hands moving could be heard in my ears.

After frowning, Colin still chose to keep a certain distance.

When the "time stop" ends.

Colin thought that the other party would rush forward, but unexpectedly, the other party opened the distance between them instead.

"You seem to have a super-high-quality prop that can affect space?"

The C-class personnel, whose body was full of power, whispered.

Hearing this, Colin was shocked: Was he aware of the influence of "Time Stop"?

In the past, people who experienced "time-stopping" in most cases only thought that they would appear in a flash, but this one seemed to have vaguely touched some real situations.

Taking advantage of the opponent's mental instability to stop attacking, Colin used the "Combat Power Observation" of the "Gene Compensation Panel".

At this sight, Colin's eyes widened.

【Name】: Kong Shiping.

[Strength]: 53.7 (Strong!) (Note: 1.)

[Physique]: 77.1 (very strong!)

[Agility]: 19.9 (It doesn’t seem strong in comparison, but it’s actually still very strong!)

[Description]: Damn, the numbers are weird!

[Comprehensive evaluation]: This is not to mention that he doesn’t know what props there are. If you encounter them, hurry up and the wind will blow!

[Note]: The above data does not represent the final combat strength. Please refer to actual contact for everything.

"Hey, what kind of incredible value is this?"

Colin took a breath. He still remembered that when the eighth-level mutinous and out-of-control personnel "Li Ping" was in her twenties or thirties, he was already a little helpless.

What the hell, his strength is fifty and his constitution is close to eighty?

"I remember that all three of my abilities are now in the teens. Taken together, I may not be as strong as him."

Colin was a little confused.

Is this the card face and value of C-level personnel?

No wonder he tried his best to use the bone spurs and couldn't even penetrate his skin.

With this number, not to mention the bone spurs, Colin was a little doubtful whether the nuclear bomb could be aligned to cause effective damage when it landed in the middle!

However, as if he sensed some kind of observation, when Colin saw the truly numerically weird man, he slowly cast his gaze from behind Uzumaki's face:

"I feel a familiar and respected power. You seem to have other powerful props on you.

"Unfortunately, the use of these props is still a bit too immature.

"Let me teach you a more detailed method."

As the words fell, the hairs all over Colin's body stood on end, and his brain frantically issued an early warning.

The next moment, the man flashed back to less than three meters in front of him and gave him a gravity punch.

"Repulsive force explodes!"

Colin didn't dare to be lazy, he thought silently in his heart, and then directly activated the card effect.

However, what he didn't expect was that the power that had been invincible before and could repel even the "divine" strong men actually failed this time.

The C-level man first flashed fifteen meters away, and then punched hard.

Boom!

Amidst the shock of terror

A fist broke through the impact barrier of "Repulsion Explosion"!

"???"

Colin was shocked when he saw this!

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

"Is it the item that affects 'power' just now? However, unfortunately, I said that your use of the item is too superficial. Its effect is limited. If you stand within the range of the effect, you will be rejected in all aspects."

"Outside of the effect, I only have to face the shock wave pushed out by its effect, not the repulsive force."

"It's hard for me to compete with props of this quality even without 'liberation'"

"You could have avoided this outcome by just taking a step forward, but it's a pity you didn't."

".You didn't discover its shortcomings and advantages very well, and you didn't carry out in-depth development. In fact, the accuracy of the control is also worrying."

Waves of whispers lingered in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, he struck like a cannonball again. Apart from flashing, there were no fancy props or any strange means. All he had was the purest and simplest release of physical strength!

The air around him erupted with a terrifying explosion sound every time he punched.

Moreover, this time, the C-level personnel were prepared. They usually no longer flashed to get close to him, but relied on their physical bodies to get close. Then, when he might use the gold card, he would flash away to avoid being involved in "Time Stop".

It was extremely difficult for Colin to deal with every blow. He didn't deal with it in a hurry a few times. After taking two hard punches, his body felt like it was falling apart. He could feel the difference between C-level and those D-level!

Nowadays, the only good thing is that this C-level employee does not seem to have used props much.

Moreover, there is good news. It may be due to the influence of pollution. The opponent's attacks are not very organized, relatively erratic, and easy to avoid.

The bad news is

Colin always felt that the other party was different from those on the train who became more and more mindless as they fought. He seemed to be getting more energetic as he fought.

A certain kind of madness was transforming bit by bit in the constant battles, and Colin felt like he was being trained by the military.

"You are weak in waving, your body is unstable, your footsteps are loose, and your reactions are slow. Among the basic items, none of the reactions or movements are completely qualified. Just like this, you can still be sent here?!"

"Even, all the props in the body, except for the timing of use, none of them are proficient in use. If the foundation is not good, the props and props are not good enough, and the whole thing is hesitant."

"To do a task is to find a way to complete the task by any means. What are you hesitating about?"

"As a person trained by the company with heavy investment, your strength did not let me break the defense, but your actual combat level is about to let me break the defense!"

"You are the weakest class of employees I have ever seen!"

"."

Amidst the stern reprimands, Ke Lin truly felt his own weakness, and was constantly suppressed by the other party based on this

But finally, amid countless attacks.

Ke Lin found that this C-level personnel seems to have some attacks with his left hand. Can't keep up with the rhythm?

'etc! As soon as I came up, I was crushed and beaten by the frame, and I almost forgot that the D-class personnel who were like "death" said that their captain had suffered serious injuries in the armpit of his left hand.’

Thinking of this, while coping, Colin finally found an opportunity in one of the opponent's attack gaps and fought hard to pay a certain price.

"Time stands still"!

The invisible force pulls everything around into stasis.

Looking at the C-level employee who didn't run away, Ke Lin stroked the sunken chest that had been punched by the opponent, and couldn't help but burst into tears while vomiting blood.

"Finally fucking settled again!"

Immediately, he pulled out the bone spur and looked at his left armpit.

After confirming that there was indeed a wound that was almost healed, he took out the bone spur and stabbed it into the wound.

At this moment, the attack finally worked, and the bone spurs penetrated his skin more than three inches deep!

'You asked me to do whatever it takes, don't blame me for not practicing martial ethics.'

After a successful blow, Colin took out his revolver again. Taking advantage of the end of the seven seconds, he made another three rounds, and the sound of the pointer moving, declaring that the countdown was about to end, sounded again.

Colin quickly distanced himself, and then saw that the other party seemed to be preparing to catch up.

But his body stiffened suddenly, then trembled and stopped in place.

"The Bone Spur and 'Death' worked."

Colin was somewhat relieved. By now, he could be said to have exhausted all his strength.

But at this time, a sudden change occurred.

A strong sense of crisis hit him, and he suddenly saw the opponent's figure appearing in front of him, aiming at his face.

At the critical moment, the nano-intelligent machine on Colin's neck exerted force, pulling on his muscles and causing him to tilt his neck to avoid the blow.

A terrifying force streaked down the right side of Colin's earless face.

Just a few centimeters away from death.

However, before Colin could breathe a sigh of relief, his scalp tensed up. He moved his eyes stiffly and saw a hand that seemed to be made of metal resting on his right shoulder.

The figure in front of him disappeared like a phantom.

At the same time, a voice sounded from behind:

"The last lesson is, don't let down your guard when the enemy is not completely dead. Even a beast will take one last bite before it dies."

"It's over."

Colin's pupils were as wrinkled as needles.

This guy's physical qualities are simply inhuman. If he is hit at such a close range, he will almost certainly be killed.

However, just when he thought it was over, there was a sudden sound like a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.

Colin regained his senses in an instant, jumped to the side, and found that this C-level employee who kept picking holes in the battle, like an instructor, fell to the ground, trembling all over, as if he was enduring great pain

Pieces of swirling crystals fell off his body one after another, and thick black water flowed out from the places where they fell off.

However, even though he endured such pain, he still struggled to get up, sit upright on the ground, and look at Colin.

The whirlpool on his face slowly disappeared at this moment, revealing a resolute and thin face.

"This thing of yours is a bit cruel. It seems that it can't hold on any longer."

The C-level man looked at Colin and said slowly.

At this moment, his tone returned to some sense and gentleness.

While speaking, he took a deep breath, put the five fingers of his right hand together, exerted force suddenly, and pierced his chest. Then he seemed to be holding something, and with a violent yank, he pulled out the heart that Colin had seen before. .

"Now that the part of its consciousness in my body is finally gone, I no longer need to use it to suppress it."

After completing this step, his face suddenly turned gray, like a dead person.

Then, he looked at the heart that slowly burned with orange-red fire after being exposed to the air in his hand, with complex emotions in his eyes.

"My family and I survived the dark turmoil because of the protection of the 'Fire Bearer'. My dream has always been to become a powerful 'Fire Bearer' to face all the enemies of mankind. I have paid a lot for this effort."

Having said this, he paused and said with infinite regret: "Unfortunately, there is still one step missing."

Shaking his head, the C-level employee raised his head again, glanced at the sky for the first time, as if seeing the battle in the distance through layers of vortex aurora, then retracted his gaze, and glanced under the cliff.

Finally, he looked at Colin: "There is not much time. We don't seem to have the upper hand in this battle. However, there should be some time to talk. You seem to have some questions?"

"What does that guy on the train have to do with you?" Colin had no ink.

"That's me. However, the real me has just disappeared with 'it'. Back then, a big man found the dark side of the universe and found us who had already died with the enemy. He used some means to fuse a part of us, Created a 'disordered ghost train'."

"I received the final task, waiting for a finisher to recover the items here"

"I don't understand why the top management would do this, but, I took this task."

During the longer conversations, he communicates directly in the form of brain waves, and his mouth does not stop when he speaks:

"One thing I have to clarify. You are not the worst class I have ever seen. In other words, you are not bad in this class. The real bad ones are the challengers on the train.

"There is also the part at the bottom of the mountain. I am really worried. If the real "me" sees this kind of wasteful usage

"Maybe he will be so angry that he will be resurrected."

"Well"

Ke Lin was a little embarrassed. Hearing the other party's brain waves and voice at the same time, he didn't know how to respond.

Because he was beaten badly just now.

"I can rank in the top 300 battles in C-level. You are only at E-level now. You have not kept up with many things. It is normal to beat me. It is not bad to be able to pick up a few moves without liberating props. , at the D level, they are considered the elite among the elite, so, what that 'I' said when I was out of my mind, except that your foundation is really poor, you don't need to pay attention to other negations, and don't doubt yourself too much."

"But if it's not that the situation is wrong, I really want you to release that thing in your body and have a good fight, but your comrades are waiting for you to complete the task."

"Go...to fulfill my unfulfilled dream, to be a...'Firebearer.'"

As he spoke, he handed the "dream" in his hand to Colin.

Colin reached out to catch it, and wanted to take it back, but found that the other party was still holding it firmly.

Uh this?

When he was confused, Colin heard the other party's voice sound again: "You don't seem to have prepared any powerful moves for yourself after becoming a 'Fire Bearer'?"

Colin nodded, and then saw a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth.

"How can a qualified 'fire bearer' not have a move that can be shouted out? I kept some things in it, remember to try to learn it, this is what I originally planned to use to kill the Quartet Moves.”

"Okay." Colin nodded.

Then, like taking over the torch in the torch's hand, he took over the burning heart in the opponent's hand.

That is, the moment the heart was released, the breath of the man in front of him was like a fan that had been cut off, losing all power at once, and his powerful body also fell to the ground at this moment, with black pus overflowing from the surface of his body.

And the weird unreality surrounding him quickly dissipated at this moment.

The dream of "god" is fading.

A piece of knowledge poured into his mind, and Colin knew what the other party left behind at the end.

"The sky is falling!"

That is to say, according to the D-class personnel who is like "promoting life", even if the body of a level 1 containment object is attacked, there is a chance that it will freeze on the spot for a period of time!

This has been made into some kind of "skill"-like ability.

Once you get it, you can use it!

"Thank you." Colin greeted sincerely.

At this moment, the body on the ground, whose life was passing away quickly, looked at Colin, as if he had something to say, but he seemed a little hesitant.

"What do you want to ask?" Colin asked.

"There were some questions that I didn't really want to ask, but in the end, I couldn't help but want to know. I didn't know what was going on in the company."

"But are we still on the right path?"

"The 'Fire Bearer'. Is he still fighting for humanity as I thought?"

Hearing this last weak murmur, Colin's mind flashed through the situations of the known "Fire Holders" and he said, "Yes."

"Okay, then, I'm relieved that I can rest peacefully."

"Finally, when the mission is completed, take them back with you."

"For this mission, they haven't been home for a long time."

them? who are they? Colin was confused, and then saw the man who was gradually collapsing on the ground. He reached into his trousers pocket, took out an iron tag with a chain through it, and handed it over.

The names of those who have passed away are clearly engraved on the smooth iron plates that have been wiped and shined.

The number is seventy-two, representing seventy-one D-class personnel and one C-class personnel, no more, no less.

"OK."

Colin squatted down, carefully took the name from the other person's hand, and put it into the "storage room".

After all this was done, the C-level personnel in front of him had lost all his breath and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep with his eyes closed.

"Good night."

After chanting silently, Colin slowly stood up.

And with the death of the other party.

The disillusionment of this world intensifies like an avalanche.

Suddenly, Colin's heart trembled, and he vaguely saw a layer of blood-red light appearing in the sky.

No more "dreams" as a barrier.

The power of those terrifying existences is also quickly seeping into this place.

However, at this moment, a message directly from the company's upper management emerged in his mind.

[Special event: All members leave this place by entering the "fog door"! 】
