Chapter 477: Chapter 406 The Mothership Enshrouded by Death_2
“Choose soone among yourselves; we’re leaving in ten minutes.”
Colin didn’t waste any words. After this group ca out, his next mission also erged.
Take four people to continue further into the investigation.
Of course, the best scenario would be to capture a certain number of abnormal entities, hand them over to the company, and then start the next subsidiary event…
‘It seems that the company must have gotten information about the Golden Card being here but hasn’t locked down the exact location.’
Colin pursed his lips and had so guesses about the current progress of the mission.
But before he could think further, a shout ca from the Bonfire.
“Brother Shunzi, we’ve made our selection.”
“That fast? You’ve chosen already?”
Colin was surprised; he thought these people would have all sorts of excuses because of the danger associated with the mission and would eventually have to resort to flipping a coin or playing rock-paper-scissors to select team mbers.
But to his surprise, it had taken less than three minutes to make their choice.
However, seeing the nas of the four who stepped forward, Colin wasn’t surprised after all.
“Life ntor Adorable,” “Son of Cruelty,” “Fool’s Mushroom,” “No.7 Little Chicken”…’
Previously unnoticed, Colin hadn’t expected this familiar group to show up.
“We said before on the train that if you, Brother Shunzi, needed anything, as long as the mission wasn’t too crappy, we’d definitely co!”
“We saw the mission and ca over right away…”
“Son of Cruelty” slapped his own chest, while the other two nodded in agreent.
“Yeah, yeah! We didn’t expect you guys to be here too. It’s like our group of five is all here, except for Sun Huang. I don’t know if he didn’t get the mission, or if he refused, or what.”
No.7 Little Chicken looked around and couldn’t help saying.
But before he could finish, “Fool’s Mushroom” patted his shoulder:
“Think positively, he might just be dead.”
Touched, next ti I really can’t find a D Level staff mber, I’ll just pick one of you three… Colin felt a warm current passing through his heart.
He hadn’t roped in these acquaintances before because their value wasn’t very high.
He needed employees with so real skills…
But this ti, just for their attitude, they deserved a “Other World Seven-Day Adventure” gift package.
“Life ntor Adorable” on the other side glanced at their little circle and didn’t say anything. His reason for being here this ti was simple: he ca for Brother Shunzi’s na.
Plus, he wasn’t worried about “The Descent Project” now.
As far as he knew, once a location was confird for “The Descent Project,” it generally wouldn’t be replaced by other similar missions, so as long as he could get back, he didn’t need to worry about being forced to return.
“Alright, now that we have our team, let’s get ready to move.”
“As for the rest of you, if you find sothing wrong, imdiately communicate with
through the ntal channel. Report any abnormalities.”
Colin warned the others not to be complacent and then moved out with the four employees.
“By the way, what is this place? Why are there so many bones?” No.7 Little Chicken, seeing the scenery here, couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m not sure either. I only know it’s a starship. These bones are probably the bones of enemies or sothing…”
Colin casually explained the information he had gathered thus far.
This celestial object called a “Starship” was probably much larger than the Moon.
Hearing his words, everyone clicked their tongues, unable to imagine how this place was constructed.
“The company used to be so glorious that they even… made a starship.” To express his astonishnt, “Life ntor Adorable” swore, which he rarely did.
Many of the company’s strange items could be explained away by anomalies, but these things couldn’t be created without so serious firepower.
He thought the “Ghost Train” event was already a big deal, but if the battleground was set in space, their previous “big scene” felt a bit like a village brawl from ancient tis…
“Who the hell runs this company, the more you know, the more outrageous it seems…” Another D Level staff mber couldn’t help but join in with the sentint, sending a ssage through the squad’s ntal channel.
Unfortunately, no one here could provide an answer to that question.
During the exchange between the few individuals, Colin didn’t interject. He followed the mission guidance while observing the employees, noticing that their movents were much more “standardized” than when he had t them before.
It seed as if they were always in a state ready for an imdiate counterattack.
And this state, while not previously absent, wasn’t as “efficient” as it was now.
‘It looks like the guidance from the C Level Elder Brother is pretty effective; in such a short ti, they’ve improved by a significant margin… I just wonder how many tis one or two of them had to die to get this proficient.’
Colin muttered to himself, then refocused his thoughts.
Shortly after leaving the campsite, about fifteen minutes later, they found a raised hill of bones in the direction provided by the mission’s investigative guide.
Through Fla Perception, Colin could ascertain that there was an unknown facility beneath the hill.
After so thought, Colin pointed his finger towards the heap of bones, and a burst of fla surged down from his fingertip, incinerating all the bones obstructing the view to reveal a cylindrical tal structure erging from the ground.
Its diater was about ten ters or so, resembling a gigantic chimney with an extrely smooth surface.
At the sa ti, an inspiration erged from the mission.
Colin cocked his head, continued to stride forward, and reached out to touch the tallic wall of this chimney-like structure.
A cold, icy sensation of hard tal ca through…
However, after about a dozen seconds, it seed as if nothing happened?
Just as Colin conceived this thought, he saw a light beginning to shine where his palm touched.
Ripples of light spread out like waves…
[Verification… passed…]
A choppy chanical female voice echoed beside his ear.
Following that, the part of the black tal that had felt extrely hard to the touch and had been barely affected by the bonfire began to move, then it indented, revealing a passage leading downward.
“I had thought that this place had completely fallen, but it seems that it still retains so operational capabilities…”
Colin didn’t enter imdiately, but with a thought, he let the flas flow into it.
Soon, he had a rough idea of the situation inside: spiral stairs leading downward, a dense and complex network of tallic corridors, and the presence of nurous indistinct non-human life forms…
“The situation inside seems rather complicated, but overall, it’s still manageable,” Colin noted, then withdrew the fla and stepped inside.
Seeing this, the few D Level staff behind him didn’t waste any words and followed just as decisively…
Having tead up through various events, they had not a shred of doubt about Brother Shunzi’s judgnt.
And just as Colin had anticipated, after they completed the descent of the spiral staircase, they arrived at a junction.
The junction had six passages, arranged in the shape of the character for “rice,” each extending straight in different directions. Each passage was relatively spacious, about seven to eight ters wide, with a layer of bone ash on the ground.
The thick tallic walls were lined with rows of guide lights radiating green light, stretching out into the far distance.
Unfortunately, one couldn’t see very far as everything was obscured by black fog.
“Brother Shunzi, which way do we go? Or are we splitting up to explore?” The Son of Sadomasochism looked around curiously, asked, then rubbed his throat, hawking up so phlegm.
The bone dust was so pervasive that it made his throat uncomfortable.
But luckily, the bone ash itself wasn’t dangerous, and as long as they were careful to avoid inhaling more, it would be fine…
“Don’t split up,” Colin said as he looked left and right before choosing a direction at random.
After descending, the mission guide disappeared, probably allowing him to take the initiative.
