Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Hitting Friendly Forces!_1
“I’ve worked for eight hundred years, and for him now, only freedom is above all else, right?”
Colin peered through the crack torn open by the “Father of the Sea” at the “Hague Research Institute,” witnessing the figure taking a multitude of shapes as they departed. His heart felt a tinge of complexity for a mont.
His feeling told him that the figure might die after helping him leave once the twenty-four hours were over, yet even so, They could be so open-minded.
After so thought, all Colin could do was silently hope that in the last bit of ti left, They could savor their favorite deep-sea giant squid…
As for sunbathing on the beach, there was probably no chance of that happening. Inside the Box Garden World, there was no regular rotation of the sun and the moon; day and night were entirely random. If one had to find a pattern, then by that pattern, it would probably be a month before the sun appeared again.
‘Putting that aside, they said that thing escaped, and the end of days would gradually approach in less than three years. That doesn’t feel real at all. I’m just starting to get going, haven’t even got to enjoy life yet, let alone pay off my mortgage, car loan, and dowry loan. Oh, I don’t have a mortgage, didn’t buy a car, and don’t have a girlfriend either, so… nevermind.’
‘Forget it, I can’t take his word for it entirely. I’ll ask Miss Bunny when I get out.’
‘And think on the bright side, maybe that guy got captured by the higher-ups of the Bonfire Company or soone else right after he escaped.’
Shaking his head, Colin dismissed these irrelevant thoughts and looked at the mist around him beginning to dissipate, starting to feel the onset of a headache—
This ti, even if he didn’t want to expose his identity, it looked like he would have to.
After pondering for a mont, unfortunately, he couldn’t figure out how to explain why he suddenly had such strong power at the critical monts to co.
“If only I had so tools that could lower people’s intelligence and modify their mories. Everyone has such keen slls; it’s quite troubling for .”
Colin sighed inwardly and glanced outside again. When he saw the “Twilight Angel” turn and leave following the departure of the “Father of the Sea,” he withdrew his gaze.
At this mont, the rich sea mist with its strong isolating effect was vanishing.
Within minutes, Colin was able to see so figures outside. They were divided into two groups: one clad uniformly in various masks were mbers of “Dawn’s Light Foundation,” the other dressed in yellow exoskeleton-like armor were mbers of the “Human Future Research Institute.”
Colin still admired these humans who dared to defy the “Gods,” but after understanding all the reasons behind everything, he couldn’t help feeling a bit ambivalent…
He wasn’t sure whether he should share so of the things communicated by the “Father of the Sea.”
After reflecting for a few seconds and slightly forming so ideas, Colin, in the ever-thinning mist, saw Qin Chuan and the others. Aside from one unnad official Extraordinary One who had perished, their ranks now reduced to just four, their losses were not significant.
When the mist finally cleared, the nurous ard personnel who had penetrated the area did not relax their vigilance at the sight of Colin alone. It was only after a certain device scanned him and confird that his contamination levels were not high that they seed to ease up a bit.
At that mont, Qin Chuan and his group were the first to approach, their looks at Colin complex, “You… just now, was that ‘Divine Strike’?”
Before Colin could speak, Hu Zheng on the side said, “We were supposed to be exploring Bonfire Company, but it turns out they had mastered our things. It’s really unexpected.”
Huh?
Colin’s expression was weird—these people were coming up with various excuses for him before he even spoke?
However, considering the looks they gave him when they first arrived, he was almost certain they’d seen through his identity.
‘But since they, for so reason, don’t want to investigate this for now, I don’t need to say much. They surely won’t tell
the reason why. Sigh, even if I manage to conceal it here, there’s a good chance I won’t be able to hide it once I’m out…’
Colin knew well that when the ti ca, these people would likely undergo the strictest scrutiny.
The others might be fine, but he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape it.
The relevant departnts wouldn’t all be fools.
“Forget it, we’ll cross that bridge when we co to it. What matters now is escaping this place.”
Halting his frantic thoughts, Colin glanced back at the weapons aid at him from behind and retracted his gaze, “That… the Deep Sea Ancient God has left, and if everything goes as expected, It won’t be coming back.”
“What do you an?” asked one of the ard personnel doubling as researchers from the Human Future Research Institute in surprise.
“It’s on the brink of death, but that’s not the point. The point is, after tomorrow, we will be leaving this world. If you have any ideas, it would be best to discuss them quickly…”
Knowing that it was nearly impossible to avoid revealing his identity once he left, Colin decided not to pretend anymore and directly talked about tomorrow’s matter.
“Leaving? Where to?” So were puzzled, but others sounded thrilled:
“Wait! Have you found a way out?”
The voice sounded familiar. Colin turned his head and saw the source, a mber of Dawn’s Light’s ard forces holding a head with half a broken Golden Mask.
Beneath the head, from the neck down, were several tubes and wires connected to the chest of the ard personnel.
‘I wondered why I couldn’t detect your biological scent through the sll before, turns out your whole body is full of hardcore tech. It seems you lot are on the path of chanical ascension.’
Colin sneered inwardly and then nodded, saying:
“Yes, it’s highly likely to be an unreplicable, one-off evacuation action, but how exactly we’ll leave is not yet certain. All I know is that the opportunity will co tomorrow. Also, I hope you can help us collect data from this place…”
That statent pretty much implied they were not “locals.”
But 223, with only half a head left, didn’t seem surprised at all…
“Okay, but I need to report back about this situation.”
As their conversation ca to a temporary halt, an ard mber from the Human Future Research Institute, apparently prompted by so signal, interjected:
“Our director has a question—is it true that the entity responsible for the first major catastrophe is dying? Do you have any way to prove your claims?”
A major catastrophic entity, huh?
The directions of concern for the two shelters were sowhat different, one focused on escape, the other on battle…
However, from what they had learned back at the library, the highly militarized Human Future Research Institute always. considered itself the last wall of humanity, taking extre asures. Given a choice, they would eliminate all threats ruthlessly, even if that threat might only be potential…
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have directly participated in sothing terd the ‘Godslayer Battle.’
He just didn’t expect to be taken advantage of so directly.
The actual situation, from Colin’s perspective, could be roughly sumd up with this sentence—
“You’re freaking attacking your own allies!”
