Campfire Shelter

With a "click" sound, the train door slowly opened under Colin's nervous gaze.

Outside the car door is a vast, empty world, dark but not completely dark because of the bright starry sky.

"Ms. Thorns" glanced at the outside world casually, then withdrew her gaze and explained simply:

"I've been here several times. If I remember correctly, there should have been a transit station. Well, it was said to be a station, but it was actually a small fortress world. But looking at it now, it should have been completely ruined."

After hearing her words, Colin, who had always been alert, was stunned and looked at the empty area outside:

"There's nothing here, can you still recognize it?"

"Look at the star map. Although there are some deviations from the past, this deviation is not significant in just a few hundred years, so my guess should be okay. Why, don't you know how to read it? "

"Ms. Thorns" saw the other party shaking her head after speaking, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that he is another guy who is in the universe without the train and can't even find the direction. Ask her to help you give the star map model to you when you have time. Just have one, otherwise one day the enemy will just throw you into the universe and you won’t even be able to find your way home.”

Then there must be a "rabbit lady" too. Colin muttered in his heart.

Then "Ms. Thorns" continued: "This place is so clean, either the entire area was dragged into the First Fire by a certain 'Fire Holder' who issued an 'Extermination Order', or it could be something else."

“However, at present, there should be no danger.

"You said before that the mission target was at the ninth station. What, do you want to go down?"

"No, I want to enter the 'fuel room' here. I can do it on the train."

As Colin spoke, he called up the previous tasks, looked at them, and made sure:

Take the "Fog Train" and when it stops at the ninth station, tear open this "Envelope 1", enter the special train carriage, and put the "token" into the fuel chamber of the carriage.

"That's it"

"Ms. Thorns" saw the other party taking out a yellowed "envelope", thought about it, and suddenly said:

"Wait a moment and make preparations first to avoid any surprises. It's not that I don't believe in the strength of your 'Fire Bearers', but I also believe in your ability to find trouble."

Obviously, she had heard a lot about the deeds of the "Fire Holders".

In other words, while speaking, "Ms. Thorn" waved her hand, and mysterious power rippled out.

In the next moment, a large number of thorns grew rapidly from all over the train, binding all the thousands of carriages. Not only did they stop the train, they also seemed to protect it and isolate the outside world.

All the former "Dark Night" believers who wore thorns on their heads felt their eyelids heavy, and heard a warm whisper from "God" in their ears:

"Let's have a good sleep first."

Then, everyone fell into a deep sleep.

The "thorns" on their heads were like spider webs, rapidly extending inside the train carriage, covering every inch of the area.

After taking protective measures, "Ms. Thorn" looked at Colin and said, "The train will not move again until you finish your work. Please take your time to prepare."

"Thanks."

Colin nodded. Although "Lady of Thorns" seemed to have some prejudice against "Fire Holder", at this point

He agreed.

Firebringer-related quests often involve all kinds of trouble.

Even if he is not a "fire supporter" and is only a reserve, he still cannot escape this fate.

Then, when he learned that the train had stopped temporarily, Colin was no longer so anxious and began to make various preparations calmly.

First, he took out the "Colorless Crystal", then various props and items, "Fire Bearer's Kindness", "Grease", revolver, etc.

Various items were reinstalled one by one in an orderly manner by Colin.

"Tsk tsk tsk"

"Ms. Thorns" sat on the side, put her hand on her chin, and marveled: "When I felt your arrival before, I immediately felt that the superiors were dim-sighted, and they actually sent a reserve force over. I don't know what they thought.

"Later I discovered that there was something wrong with your reserve, and you were actually able to resist the spread of the power of the 'dark night' part of the will.

"But I couldn't show my head at the time, and I didn't know what was going on. Only now do I realize that you have a surprising amount of equipment.

"The combination of these things gives you a bit of a 'fire bearer' look in combat."

Although it is a bit worse than the original version, it does have a little bit of the east and a little bit of the west, giving it a bit of a "fire supporter", like a patchwork warrior.

Almost ten minutes later, Colin made all preparations and put his various methods in a state of ready to explode.

As long as there is any abnormality, he can "ignite" at any time.

After checking for the last time that there was nothing wrong, Colin broke two fingers. He temporarily used the "little maid"'s substitute left hand to hold the letter paper, pinched a section with his right hand, and tore it along the seal.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, there seemed to be nothing inside?

Just as Colin was thinking this, he suddenly saw a wisp of gray, seemingly active smoke coming out. It slowly floated toward the middle of the car and began to spin.

After a while, a thick fog vortex with a height of about three meters formed.

After the vortex, a doorway without a door panel appeared.

Behind the door is a spacious corridor filled with mist, which is about twenty or thirty meters long, with an empty room vaguely visible at the end.

It's just because of the fog that I can't see clearly what's behind.

"The mist can block non-company personnel, but it's not a big problem for us. We're all here. I'll walk with you."

"Of course, I have to protect this account from the outside. I'll change my account and follow you in."

"Ms. Thorns" said, and a dark shadow appeared next to her. The shadow looked almost exactly like her.

"Why do both of them have the ability to clone themselves?" Colin looked a little envious.

It is much safer to let the "clone" go to danger than to go to it yourself.

It's a pity that he hasn't found a suitable prop or talent skill that can separate the clones, so he can only watch.

However, after thanking him, Colin walked into the door with his body covered in flames.

And the "Little Trumpet" of "Thorn Lady" followed behind.

Along the way, Colin walked very carefully, but except for the fact that the fog could not see through, he did not encounter anything else.

Behind him, "Ms. Thorn" seemed much more relaxed, following silently step by step with her bare feet.

"Logically speaking, the fog has not completely disappeared, which means it has not been broken through. There are no accidents inside, so it should be safe."

Lady Thorn said casually as she looked around.

But just as he finished speaking, Colin in front suddenly stopped, and the fire on his body suddenly lit up.

She followed Colin's gaze and saw that in a corner of the combustion chamber, there were more than a dozen adults, both men and women, lying on the ground. They closed their eyes and seemed to be sleeping, paying no attention to the two people who arrived. reaction.

"died."

"died."

Colin and "Ms. Thorn" said in unison.

After staring for two seconds, "Ms. Thorns" shook her head and continued:

"It seems that they have been dead for a long time. It should be the special nature of this place that causes their appearance to remain unchanged."

"kindness."

Colin nodded, making sure there was no danger, and crossed the threshold and walked inside.

But at the moment when the foot stepped over, a certain spatial balance in the "combustion chamber" seemed to be destroyed, and the bodies of the dozen adults instantly turned into powder, turning into ashes on the ground like a sand castle when it encounters water. .

Then, there were only a dozen remaining nameplates scattered on the ground.

Colin glanced and saw only the name.

However, the "Ms. Thorns" beside her said:

"Nine D-class, four F-class. The silver clothes they wore before seem to be the style of a certain army group, but I'm not sure which one."

When she finished, Colin had a mission in mind.

The content is roughly: "Recycle all nameplates and other leftovers into the 'storage room' and wait for them to be handed over automatically after the mission is completed."

"I'll collect their legacy."

Colin stepped forward, first bent down to pick up the "nameplate", then rolled up all the "ashes" through the flames, dazzled them together, and finally put them into the "storage room".

At this time, he saw something written in unknown characters on the ground beside him.

roughly means

"Take care of the children on the train?"

Colin muttered it in a low voice, and then became confused: "Which children?"

"Oh, this, I'm talking about those people on the train now."

"Ms. Thorns" took a closer look and explained: "When I did that mission, the invisible influence had already erupted. It was just in the early days. Basically, the biggest people on the train were only those in their early fifteens, sixties, or seventies. children, as well as small children in the training cabin

"Other employees heard that they went out to meet the enemy."

She briefly talked about the situation at that time, and it also helped Colin understand why there was a gap in the civilization of this group of people.

Then, "Ms. Thorns" folded her hands on her chest and suddenly thought of something:

"Speaking of which, I remembered one thing. A long time ago, I heard that someone in the company had created something. It seemed that as long as the nameplates of the fallen could be successfully recovered, it would be possible to extend their lives again."

"Huh?" Colin, who had just stood up, was stunned: "What is that?"

"I'm not sure. It seems to be related to someone related to 'destiny'."

"'Boss Huang He'?" Colin mentioned a somewhat unlucky name.

"I'm not sure. I just know that there is such a saying. It involves a well-known thing, 'Script City'. I wonder if you have heard of this thing."

Hiss, who has heard of this? I almost died there.

Colin didn't explain, but nodded to show that he knew about this unfortunate thing.

"I heard that the fate of the names carried on those nameplates may be reshaped, but I don't know whether this is the case. I joined the company relatively late, and the company as a whole seemed to be going backwards at that time."

"According to the words in the company, it's a bit like what one of my adjutants said at the time, about joining the army in 1949. Well, anyway, it means that the time of joining was not right."

"And I, for the most part, stay in my one-third of an acre of land and don't go out much, so I haven't seen any corresponding results."

"Ms. Thorn" tilted her head and said as she thought.

‘I joined the army in 1949, right? You, my deputy, are still a fellow countryman? ’

Colin helped the other person finish the sentence in his heart.

Then from this topic, I suddenly thought of "Big C Teacher" Kong Shiping who is currently in the dungeon.

If the "Lady of Thorns" refers to the resurrection

That doesn't make much sense.

Rather than being resurrected, it is more like a virtual NPC created using some information.

"As far as I know, there is only one person who has truly caused the miracle of 'resurrection from the dead'."

Colin paused and said the words "Crimson Moon".

Back then, "Father of the Ocean" could be resurrected after his body had decomposed like that. He had only seen such a miraculous method in "Red Moon".

But just as he finished speaking, he saw "Ms. Thorns" crossing her arms and looking at him with an expression on her face.

Colin touched his nose awkwardly and felt that it was really not okay.

How could "Red Moon" be so kind as to help them resurrect people?

"but."

"Ms. Thorns" broke the awkward atmosphere: "If you can figure out the situation in the future, you must remember to talk to me." After saying that, she blinked in anticipation.

"Okay, I'll ask around later and I'll tell you when I get the chance next time."

Colin did not refuse the request.

The next time we meet, I don’t know when it will be.

He turned around, glanced around, and saw a window for fuel delivery. Then he walked up a few steps and looked inside. After confirming that this was the place, he took out the "token" from the "storage room"——

A copy of Brother Rosen’s severed hand.

On the other hand, "Ms. Thorns" was a little surprised when she saw the severed hand that burst into flames as soon as it was taken out. Then some data information floated on her retina, and she probably guessed the nature of the opponent's mission.

Colin did not hesitate and threw the "token" into it.

After it fell into the fuel chamber, a "bang" sound came from it, and flames spurted out of the injection port.

[The event has been completed, do you choose to return (forced return after 2 minutes and 58 seconds)? 】

"It looks like I'm going back."

Colin did not return immediately, but turned around and said hello to the little trumpet that "Ms. Thorn" accompanied him.

"Ms. Thorns" raised her hand and waved:

"goodbye."

As soon as the words fell, Colin's figure and the voices of all other employees performing tasks on the train disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"It disappeared so neatly."

"Ms. Thorns" pursed her lips and shook her head, took back the trumpet, and then sat on the high chair. She did not untie the device and leave in a hurry. While thinking, she shook her spotless white feet.

After a while, she recalled the feeling at the moment when her hand was ignited, thought about it, and then looked at the dim world outside, she said to herself:

“I used to think it was just a matter of trying to regain track control authority in this area.

“But it doesn’t seem to be the case.

"She seems to be completely blocking the passage leading to a certain direction?"
