Campfire Shelter

"I didn't expect that the 15th Ring Road would lead to this hellish place."

Colin was stunned for a moment.

The name of this place is very familiar to him and many company employees. After all, there is an old man asking for help there every day.

It’s been almost a year since I asked for help, and I haven’t seen anyone die or go crazy. Anyway, I’m still asking for help.

In a sense, this guy is already a weirdo like a "mentally retarded robot".

Of course, compared to the "mentally retarded robot", this guy still has communication logic.

At least, although I send distress signals all the time, I also chat with people in some fun forums.

What Colin saw the most was that the other person would often @He said he was going to "Advent Project-13" to work in a different world.

But the strange thing is that during the last expansion, Colin did try to send a mission to the other party to see if he could pull this guy out. The result was that the mission was indeed sent, but it seemed that he was rejected.

"The forums are calling for people to come out again. The task seems to have been rejected again when I sent it. I asked and said they didn't see it. They asked me to send it a few more times. What is going on?"

Colin sat up straight on the bed, with a puzzled look on his face, feeling that this person's situation was more special than he imagined.

"Forget it, leave him alone. There is a high probability that this mission is not to save him."

"Thinking too much about him is a waste of brain cells. If you can save him later, just do it. If you can't, forget it."

"And speaking of it, the content of this last mission is also quite special. It is not a letter delivery like the previous fifteen missions, but an investigation?"

Colin retracted his thoughts because of the employee's divergence, and looked down at the tasks that had all emerged.

[Event: Go to the "non-existent hospital" and perform corresponding work. 】

"Task description": A special medical place where a large number of broken anomalies are wandering, but the files related to it have been lost and need to be re-investigated.

"Task requirements": On February 28, go to the deep sea of ​​the designated sea area, wait for the train with two assisting employees of your choice, get off at the third station, enter the place, and go down to the ninth floor to the back. Conduct in-depth local investigations.

"Note 1": The more difficult part is how to enter the next floor. Please pay attention to some rule reminders in the lobby.

"Remark 2": After arriving at the target area, please leave "bonfire coordinate points" on each floor as much as possible.

"Here, the mission content is probably more than one step."

Colin estimated that further information would come out after the investigation is completed.

And this is also the first of the fifteen-ring missions so far to directly ask for a letter without coming up.

Moreover, the mission is still a multiplayer type.

"Leaving a campfire spot should be a signal of stability."

"Code reminder, you have to go to the scene to see this."

"Also, you can actually choose two assistants this time? Hiss."

Colin swallowed his throat and could feel the seriousness of this task. Although there were occasionally employees involved in so many tasks before, they were all involved as if they were sidelined by another task line.

It's obviously different from the one who can choose his own people this time.

After thinking about it, Colin opened the communication with "Life Coach Lover" on the parchment and wanted to ask this know-it-all how much he knew about this matter.

If I am not mistaken, I remember hearing him say before that some employees tried to rescue, but in the end they only made it to a few floors and could not come back.

"It seems there are quite a few employees there." He had never thought of going to this ghost place before, so Colin didn't pay attention. Now he was ready to take a closer look at the situation.

That is, shortly after the message was sent, "The life coach is so cute" responded.

"Boss, you won't get a relevant task right now, right?"

Kaidao asked anxiously. According to Brother Shunzi's habit, if he didn't get the relevant task, he would probably just ask around to satisfy his curiosity.

And this seems to have been asked a long time ago, so it is unlikely that I am curious again.

The sudden question was obviously related to the mission.

Sure enough, after sending it out, he immediately received a response from Brother Shunzi, confirming this.

"The life coach is so cute" was speechless for a moment when he saw this. Brother Shunzi has been promoted all the way up, and he has been involved in at least half of the ten difficult tasks in the company.

However, complaining is all about complaining, and I still quickly thought about the information related to this task, and rummaged through the paper documents in a drawer next to me in order to sort them out and send them to Brother Shunzi.

"This mission seems to have been taken over by someone before, but there is no clear record. I am not sure. The first time it was really widely known was from the mouth of the 'Unyielding Man'. According to him, he was performing a certain task in the E-class When we were on a dangerous mission, we had to rely on the 'Book of Numerology·Fragments' to break the situation."

"At that time, he relied on the power of the 'Book of Numerology' to return successfully, but due to the bad luck of the three fragments of the 'Book of Numerology', he accidentally took on a mission. In the process, he didn't know what happened, and another one accidentally Entered a 'non-existent hospital'. Of course, we don't know exactly what caused it by accident, and he couldn't tell."

It looked like there was a light bulb stuck in his butt. When the doctor asked, Colin, who had accidentally sat in, pursed his lips. His first impression was that this kid was not telling the truth.

But think about it, it’s okay for the other person to lie to you, but it’s not okay to lie to others.

Since "The life coach is so cute" didn't raise any questions, it's very likely that the other person really didn't know.

Moreover, regardless of the current situation of "The Man Who Never Surrenders", just seeing that he was shaken by "bad luck" for one day but finally managed to survive, it shows that his strength is quite good.

"At the earliest time, the 'Unyielding Man' was not trapped on the 18th floor, but on the 13th floor. At that time, he promised some points conditions that seemed extremely attractive at the time and asked for assistance."

After posting this, I paused for a moment, "The life coach is so cute." I couldn't help but secretly thank Brother Shunzi in my heart. If it weren't for the "cheating" of Brother Shunzi, everyone would still be poor today.

After all, in the early days, more than a thousand points and some prop rewards were considered delicious even in the eyes of D-level employees.

Then, he quickly wrote a reply while looking at the documents organized next to him.

"I don't know exactly how many employees went there. So far, the ones I know about are a team of four D-class personnel. They say they finally arrived at the seventh or eighth floor. I had to quit.”

"Isn't it possible that it's only the seventh or eighth floor?" Ke Lin sent a message in surprise.

As for the four D-classes, they have to go through the tenth and eleventh floors, right?

After a pause, Colin added a question: "How is your strength?"

"There are two who are familiar with me. They are probably a little weaker than me before I was taught by Teacher Big C, but they are not too much weaker. I don't know about the other two. Of course, now I can beat the four of them."

After Teacher Big C’s iron-fist education, the comprehensive practical skills of the current employees have improved a lot. If they were brass before, they are now silver and gold. They are not what they used to be.

Seeing the cute analogy, Colin touched his chin and felt that the mission would not be particularly dangerous until at least the eighth floor.

"By the way, can you still contact the four employees who have been there? Contact two of them for me." Colin wanted to grab two people to follow him.

Obviously the road will be easier to walk if an acquaintance leads the way.

"I can contact one, but I'm afraid I can't contact two."

Without waiting for Colin to ask, Keidao quickly gave the reason: "There was an accident when the four of them went to the seventh floor and encountered some troublesome things, so the team was separated. The whereabouts of the two were unknown, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Man returns successfully

“But of the two who returned, one died unexpectedly due to a mission some time ago.

"So I can only contact one person, and he may not be willing to go because of his psychological shadow. If it is really necessary, I can communicate with him later and ask for details."

Actually dead

Colin was stunned for a moment. He had never seen many team members die while doing tasks, and he had forgotten that people in the company were prone to death.

After looking at Keaido's last response and thinking about it, Colin was about to reply, but found that it seemed that the number of responses in the chat group was about to reach the limit.

If you send another message, there may be some inexplicable dangers.

‘I don’t know why there will be such restrictions after ‘Ms. Rabbit’. ’

As his thoughts flashed, Colin didn't pay much attention. He closed his eyes and sank into the majestic "office" where the big fireball hung, summoning Kaidoo down.

This way there are no speaking restrictions.

When that figure appeared, Colin sat in a side seat, knocked on the table, and said directly: "Go and talk to that person. In addition, if anyone else has entered it, that's fine."

"OK."

The "life coach is so cute" sitting in the high-backed chair has become accustomed to Brother Shunzi's behavior of chatting online and suddenly pulling people "offline", so he nodded after hearing his words.

"In addition to these four employees, there are actually some other employees who also went. I don't know the situation of these employees, but I can try to contact them if necessary."

"The life coach is so cute" gives full play to his subjective initiative.

After working with Brother Shunzi for so long, he has actually noticed that Brother Shunzi usually doesn't speak too much on parchment. At first, he thought it was because he was not used to it, but looking at it now, I'm afraid there are other reasons.

As for the reason, he didn't know, and he didn't want to explore it. It was no good knowing too much about some things.

"Okay, then go and ask around. It's best to get a reply before the day after tomorrow." Colin nodded.

The fact that this event is ranked in the fifteenth circle is enough to show that it is special. It may not be difficult, but it should be more complicated. It would be better to be more prepared before taking action.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there won't even be a chance to prepare.

Not long after, after communicating for a while, Colin returned to reality again, and only then did he have time to look at the time.

"Today is the 26th, and the operation will start the day after tomorrow. The time is not bad, and there is still enough time to prepare materials."

Colin took out his mobile phone, notified him of the large amount of money, and asked him to find some fuel of sufficient grade.

Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if we don’t have the materials to leave a bonfire sacrificial point.

"No problem, I will get it for you before the day after tomorrow." Duo Jin responded quickly.

After the instructions, Colin turned off his cell phone, opened the trading shop without saying anything, and started scanning some items.

For more than half a month, even until now, Colin's points have been basically used up because the mission has not been settled.

However, some time ago, with the efforts of him and Shana, the "Light" Sect established some kind of relatively large deal with this side, and the situation has eased.

There, Colin sells BUFFs made from gold, while here, some knowledge, science and technology, and even special containment items are given back.

Colin acts as a middleman and can easily earn tens of thousands of points each time.

Although it is still not a particularly large number, it is enough to live on.

In addition, Shana also benefited from this and became a real little rich woman with a considerable amount of points in her hands.

"It seems like she doesn't know how to use this thing."

Colin touched his chin. He had asked before that the way her points could be used was either to buy some kind of expensive special effects or to repair some of the company props she commonly used.

Shana felt that the former was of little use, while the latter thought it was too expensive.

And rather than props, she prefers to use the "power" of her predecessors and her own fists.

Therefore, in addition to the points necessary for maintaining the territory, Shana prefers to hoard them for later use in case of emergency.

Of course, most of those points are in Colin's hands.

"Almost like a hamster hoarding things for the winter."

Colin looked at the more than 60,000 points belonging to Shana, and after thinking about it, he could understand her choice. After all, Shana had indeed been frugal all the way under the "branch"'s lack of virtue.

And the branch that was "seen through".

Except that no one has done the task, it is still the same as it should be. It looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Then, without thinking too much about this matter, Colin began to look for some more special props to prepare for the mission.

During this period of mission, he discovered that there are some white or green props that can be directly detonated by the power of the "Fire Bearer", erupting at once with a powerful effect several times or even ten times greater than itself!

When he liberated the group of silicon-based humans last time, Colin exploded three props in a row and played an important role in forcing back the evil god's incarnation. It was a pleasure to use them all at once.

The only disadvantage, apart from the higher cost of use, is that it is not very friendly to anomalies made into props.

But it’s not a big problem. In order to complete the task, Kuyiku unusually believes that they won’t have too many complaints.

After a while of selection, Colin spent a total of more than 5,000 points to buy three explosive attack and protection green props.

Then, the time came to the evening

"The life coach is so cute" sent the message first:

"Things went relatively smoothly. I found out that one employee had been there and was a member of our advent project. He was willing to cooperate, while the other D-class agreed, but he needs some compensation."
