Campfire Shelter

As the "Eternal Night" ceremony stabilized again, the kneeling employees at various "Thorn Binding Device" points suddenly felt that the pressure on their bodies was relieved.

Although the indescribable feeling of heart palpitations still exists, at least I can move now.

"Wow hahaha~"

The green evil spirit fire burned again, and the D-class employee laughed wildly:

"Now it's our turn again!"

The battle begins again!

The members of the "Night Faction" stationed at the point finally felt the various offensive methods of these foreign department employees, whether they were curses from the air, strange spells, or physical attacks driven by some unknown means.

Coupled with the help of the "Rebels", the "Night Faction" was broken through not long after their support.

However, some of the more powerful ones who could rival the official eighth level of the "Night Sect" were in a situation that was different from that of the general bottom class because their numbers were too small.

That is, being besieged by more than three elite D-class members at the same time.

As a last resort, they would either have to advance and be forced to retreat, or they would be knocked unconscious.

"It's so easy. There are so many Beyonders here, but there is no 'legion' fighting team. They are all stragglers, and there is no regular army. It is simply a waste."

"It's true. The defense situation down here is also the same. It feels very rough."

"It's so easy to pass the level. Will the rewards be less soon?"

"Probably not. The company's focus on what is actually obtained has nothing to do with whether our execution process is simple or not."

"Is that so? It feels like picking up money."

"It's not that difficult. I thought I would face a lot of enemies just like last time. I have prepared small nuclear warheads."

"Fuck! You 'official' guys can really bring anything!"

"Speaking of which, what happened to the pressure just now? I feel like it's Brother Shunzi's side. Doesn't anyone want to figure it out? Has anyone formed a team to go over and take a look?"

"Fuck, @my little Douzi, don't say anything that is not conducive to survival! Knowing everything will only kill you!"

" @My little Douzi, it doesn't have any effect, don't have any side effects! Don't affect Brother Shunzi and cause you to pull everyone together to destroy you."

"Speaking of which, how many of us have been killed now? Also, how long do we have to hold on?"

“Less than a tenth anyway”

"As for how long we can hold on, it depends on Brother Shunzi. Anyway, in this current situation, there will be no problem if we can easily resist until tomorrow."

"."

After each stronghold was breached, the employees chatted easily.

Suppressing the energy device is not complicated. It is just a process of cutting off the root with a diameter of about two to three meters and repeating the cutting before it is reconnected.

Although this thing is about as hard as pig iron, for employees.

It's not particularly difficult to cut off.

And as long as it is cut off here, the "thorns of rejection" will dry up, and then the corresponding employees can easily cut in and cut off all the black thorns all over the trains.

Overall, it's not a difficult job.

At least

This is what it looked like in the early days.

As time goes by, the task is still not completed, and the roots of the "energy point" begin to grow faster and faster.

The employees suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Fuck, what's going on over there at the energy point? Why did the 'thorn of rejection' start to grow again?!"

"It almost pierced my ass!"

"Power up the energy points and work harder! Hurry up and suppress the energy!"

A group of D-class employees responsible for handling the "thorns" suddenly noticed that the black thorns that had stopped growing for a while were "coming alive" again, and their intensity was getting stronger and stronger.

"Fuck, be careful, don't use 'props' to resist! These thorns can destroy the integrity of the props!"

Some people were horrified to find that the integrity of some of their props was actually reduced when wrapped in thorns!

Immediately, some employees who were accidentally trapped by thorns immediately put away their props after hearing this.

For them, death is acceptable, but damage to props cannot be accepted——

After all, the props are too expensive to repair, costing thousands or tens of thousands of points. Even the rewards from this mission may not guarantee that they can be repaired!

As a result, some unlucky employees would rather be tied into a honeycomb and die a painful death than have the integrity of the props reduced.

At the same time, when faced with their words, the employees who suppressed the energy points were also in trouble.

Just now, these thick roots are recovering faster and faster, not to mention getting harder and harder.

Now the hardness is comparable to steel!

"How long do you have to press it? If the strength of these thorns continues to grow, it will be comparable to that of titanium alloy! My hand is almost cut off."

"Why are you growing up so fast? My 'violent body' has broken its claws several times."

"My evil flame is almost exhausted. If I continue, I will only burn myself!"

"What's going on over there, Brother Shunzi? It's not healed yet."

"It's getting harder and harder. I can't hold on any longer. My exoskeleton armor is about to run out of power."

"."

All the employees were sweating and trying their best to suppress the roots. They didn't know how this happened.

The roots that could have been easily suppressed now required a lot of effort just to keep them disconnected.

And when everyone was complaining, Colin was not much better.

In the violently burning fireball, Colin tried his best to maintain the flame. It had been almost more than an hour since the "red moon" appeared.

Even he couldn't bear the continuous output of ultra-high-intensity flames.

At this critical moment, there is no way to evacuate directly.

After persisting until now, if Colin removes the flame, not only will he fail, but he may also be caught in a fight between two things above his head at the same time.

Gritting his teeth, Colin struggled to convey his voice to the "Thorn Lady":

"How long will it take for you to say 'hold on for a little while'?!"

"Soon, soon, don't worry." A whisper came from the thorns surrounding him.

However, Colin had learned a lot of lessons and did not fall for it again, so he continued:

"Give me a specific time!"

From the time "Red Moon" was summoned to now, it was either "soon" or "wait a while". I thought it would be over in ten minutes, but in the end, there was no result after a damn hour passed.

At this moment, the millions of members of the "Night Faction" on the ground have their heads lowered, and they all wear a headdress made of "thorns" on top of their heads.

The person who was brought in with this thing seemed to ignore the abnormality above his head.

"It's really fast this time, but it will take some time before they get into the car." The voice of "Ms. Thorns" came again, but this time, her tone was a little weak.

"There are still a small number of people who have not been caught with thorns. Once that is done, all their 'destinies' for the next period of time will be transferred to my body and I will be responsible for them. Then we can take action."

"Transferred to you?" Colin asked subconsciously in confusion.

"Well, this is one of my powers. Otherwise, at their level, how could they really have the ability to escape from the 'dark night'? This thing is more complicated to deal with than you think. It can't be solved by simply running away. Like They have not dealt with this thoroughly.”

"Then even if they leave, they will be annihilated inadvertently. They cannot afford the fate of being involved with the 'dark night', but it doesn't matter."

"Ms. Thorns" said: "I will bear the fate of destruction for them."

Colin was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the light of humanity was shining on those dark thorns.

My own tiredness doesn't seem to be particularly tired anymore.

In fact, he can still hold on.

But soon, the other person's next words made these brilliance of humanity fade away.

"Anyway, the main body is resistant, hehe."

There is no need to say this sentence

Colin took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something: "Then we are also involved with the Dark Night."

"The lady who dispatched you has taken care of everything a long time ago. You don't have to worry. You don't have to be afraid of being killed by 'Dark Night', and you don't have to worry about following the company's network channel."

Oh, you don’t have to be afraid even if you die? That's okay. Colin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Thorns" seemed to realize what he was thinking: "Of course, I am referring to the group that arrived at the back. The other three people, including you, had better not get into trouble."

"Okay." Colin nodded exhausted.

Feeling the somewhat depleted flames on his body, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything to burn?"

That is to say, as soon as she finished speaking, "Ms. Thorns"'s reaction suddenly became loud.

"Oh my god, isn't the first lesson of the 'Fire Bearer' reserve period to learn to dedicate yourself? How come you haven't even become a 'Fire Bearer' yet you are learning ahead of time and putting the meaning of 'ignite others and warm yourself' I’ve learned my ideas! Don’t even think about burning my body!”

hold head high? Is there still this kind of learning idea? Colin was startled.

If you can, it's better to burn others. If you can't do it, think about yourself again. This is what Colin has always done.

Unexpectedly, among the former "fire supporters", this kind of thing was summarized into some ideological courses?

Also, why did "Lady of Thorns" react so loudly?

Before he could speak, the words of "Ms. Thorn" continued: "Forget it, I've really given in to you paranoid human nature. Everyone looks like a piece of firewood.

"Okay, it's a big risk. I'm prepared."

As he spoke, a large number of "black thorns" with the same metallic luster, but wrinkled and withered, appeared out of thin air.

Colin didn't hesitate, and the flames spread directly over and ignited it.

The raging fire spreads out

This flame is not as easy to control as the flame of the "Fire Holder" itself, but what Colin needs now is not the accuracy of the flame, but to light the fire as much as possible and illuminate the surroundings.

Suddenly, with the addition of this flame, the originally unsustainable flame became stable again, isolating the "crimson" and "darkness" in the sky from the knowledge of humans below.

‘Looks pretty good’

Colin thought that "Ms. Thorn" was indeed a good material. When he left after the mission was over, he asked if he could give some more and take them back to save.

It’s not that I’m proposing it now, after we have this batch of “firewood”.

Stress has been relieved a lot

He even had time to look at the messages on the team chat channel in his mind, and then discovered that they didn't seem to be in good shape either.

"The 'Thorn Binding Device' is yours, right? Can't you take the initiative to put it away?" Colin asked.

As soon as the question came out, "Ms. Thorn" still replied instantly: "I can't put it away. That thing is connected to some special defenses in this world. I want to close it all, but in that case"

At this point, the words stopped abruptly.

what happened? Colin tried to ask: "In that case?"

There was no sound for several seconds.

Just when Colin was confused, the voice of "Ms. Thorn" sounded again: "I was a little distracted just now. I accidentally used some 'divine' power and was knocked by 'Dark Night'. Well, back to the topic, in that case , the 'dark night' will come directly to you."

Hearing this, Colin felt a chill.

Then continue to listen to the voice of "Ms. Thorns": "You know, the people here have not really connected with the 'dark night' until now. In addition to its own problems, it is also due to my efforts."

"Okay." Colin asked no more questions.

At this time, we can only suffer a little more for the employees.

‘No, it’s not hard. It’s just a ‘wooden stake’. How can it be hard? I didn’t say anything in the aftermath of the battle with two gadgets on my back, and here they are still yelling nonsense’

Colin suddenly felt at ease.

And as time passes little by little.

It was almost another hour, when everyone, including Colin, really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ms. Thorn"'s words suddenly came unsolicited.

"Okay, okay, it's finally okay this time! Look at me sticking it out!"

As soon as the words fell, Colin's eyes suddenly lit up, and the rich darkness shrouding the "Eternal Night" ceremony venue instantly dissipated, and the "dark night" power in the "branch" employees of this world disappeared.

I don’t know if it was transferred or cleared.

The emergence of this situation also made the "dark night" above the dome suddenly become more and more distant like a kite with a broken string.

"Finally." Colin breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to let go of the flames.

At this time, some huge and majestic strips surged above the dome covered by layers of clouds and mist.

Colin saw from the corner of his eye that they seemed to be some "black thorns", but they were much larger than those around him, and they stretched across the sky and extended to the invisible end, seeming to wrap up the entire world. .

At this time, in the sky, countless thorns hung down some branches. These branches were entangled and intertwined with each other, forming a vague figure wearing a thorn dress.

A mighty momentum burst out from this body

The whole world shook.

Countless figures knelt down towards her and praised her loudly.

‘This ‘Night Sect’’s faith has changed so quickly. ’ Colin was speechless.

At this time, the lofty and far-reaching words of "Ms. Thorn" reached everyone's ears with her own power:

"Listen to my words, get back on the train, and set sail again!"

no explanation why

However, the will of the true God cannot be questioned!

Everyone turned and walked quickly towards the train. Everything went on in an orderly manner under her watch, without too many accidents.

When the last person entered the carriage, a mission appeared in Colin's mind.

[Temporary event: Enter any compartment of the "Disconnected Fog Train", transfer the personnel of the train, and then take out the "secondary containment object" and "Colorless Crystal*100" and ignite them to inject initial power into the train. 】

"Were those things originally used at this time?"

Colin was thoughtful. He initially thought that this was to be added to the fuel room when he got the ninth station.

Unexpectedly, it just provides an initial motivation.

"Don't worry, I will carry it now." The words of "Ms. Thorns" came.

Hearing this, Colin didn't hesitate anymore and dived down. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he walked into one of the carriages. After rushing people to other carriages, he took out the materials he had prepared long ago.

Then a can of "firemaker's grease" is poured on it and lit with a snap of the fingers.

The next second.

The object screamed and seemed to be trying to struggle, but Colin stepped forward to suppress it, pulled out his revolver and fired several shots at it expressionlessly.

The place suddenly became quiet again.

Then another ten seconds later

The train that had been parked for hundreds of years began to vibrate. Gray mist began to spray out from the train, and then it slowly began to move, and its speed gradually increased.

"Hahaha, finally gone! Finally gone!"

"The mission is about to be completed!"

"Uuuuuuuuuah, the torture is over."

"."

When the employees saw this, they immediately started to get excited and reveled, but they saw the train gradually moving away.

Standing where they were, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

The mission ended, they did not return immediately, and the train seemed to be moving away.

"Wait, stop, we haven't gotten in the car yet!"

Some people waved their hands and exclaimed loudly while trying to catch up.
