Chapter 770: Chapter 544 We Lost an Employee_1
“Similar to you, outsiders?”
Upon hearing Colin’s words, so of the female survivors seed to have recalled sothing.
A mont later, the leading woman nodded again and said, “There was one, about two and a half years ago. Indeed, there was soone like that who ca by, but I’m not sure if he’s the person you are looking for, and there’s another thing, the one who made contact with him at that ti wasn’t us, but another shelter…”
“Another area? Can you tell
more about it? Or perhaps, I can promise so normal conditions in exchange for his information.”
Colin was surprised; he was just asking casually and did not expect any answer.
After all, the area covered by the hospital, layer by layer, was still very large…
Had he not possessed a sense of sll far exceeding that of normal people, among other abilities, he probably wouldn’t have been able to et these people even after living here for quite so ti.
But unexpectedly, there actually was a lead?
However…
‘Two and a half years doesn’t quite match up. According to the forum, he should have only been in there for over half a year, less than a year, but most of this information is his own account and may not be true…’
As Colin’s thoughts churned, he decided to understand more before speaking further.
At that mont, he heard the female leader continue, “There’s no need for an exchange for this information; I’ll just tell you, we were providing support to them at the ti and had so contact. Although it wasn’t much, the impression was still very profound.”
Soon, through the leader’s explanation, Colin understood what this “profound” ant—
It was a person terribly afflicted by misfortune.
Drinking water could lead to choking, speaking would occasionally result in biting the tongue, allergies would constantly plague the body, walking could result in being inexplicably tripped by a small stone, and furthermore, all sorts of unusual “accidents” would always find their way to him…
If it were not for his exceptional strength, he would have likely died in one of those disasters.
While describing this, the female leader couldn’t help feeling a bit of admiration, for that guy was one of the rare strong individuals who managed to return unscathed from disasters like the “Corpse Tyrant” and even stronger entities like the “Puppet Tide” and “Corpse Feast.”
“This description must be correct.” Colin knew at once upon hearing it; it was that old unlucky fellow.
After all, if it weren’t for “misfortune,” it would be quite difficult for a normal E level extraordinary one to trip over a stone while walking or to choke when drinking water.
No, this would have a certain level of difficulty even for ordinary people.
Not to ntion soone who had been injected with “Gene Compensation dicine” several tis, with bodily coordination far surpassing ordinary people by who knows how many levels, a formal employee of the company.
Yet, all descriptions matched perfectly.
Only the tiline was slightly off.
‘As far as I rember, the earliest distress signal from that guy, asured in precise months, was sent seven months ago, and by his own account, approximately one to two months after being trapped inside, his mission ended, and he found the opportunity to send out the ssage.’
‘But if what’s said here is accurate, then it’s been two and a half years, and that introduces a significant conflict…’
Colin then spoke again to the female leader to confirm, making sure the information he received was not lost in “translation.”
“So, you’re saying that the actual ti he was trapped could be longer than his own awareness? Or is there a ti discrepancy? No, if there were a ti discrepancy, he should have realized it himself, just like ‘World Code 13,’ it wouldn’t happen that he spent two and a half years inside but was oblivious to the passage of that ti…”
Colin rembered the rules posted in the lobby of the hospital outpatient departnt.
Although he had long suspected it had sothing to do with that employee, suspicion was one thing, and actually making a connection was quite another…
“Actually, speaking of which, that person is of so importance to us, if not for him, we might have been surrounded by various disaster entities at the ti.” The female leader seed to recall sothing, speaking with residual fear.
“Unfortunately, when we tried to find him later, not long after establishing contact, he was forced to escape alone into another anomalous area due to being targeted by the ‘Dean’… As for what happened after, we are not sure, because we never saw him again after that. Based on our estimation, it’s highly likely that he was either devoured or dismbered and taken far away.”
‘It sounds like neither outco was particularly good,’ Colin pursed his lips.
At that mont, the two-ter-tall female leader continued to ask, “What is your relationship with him?”
Up to this point, she had not been inford of the exact nature of their relationship.
“If there’s no mistake, he is probably an employee from our company who went missing…” Colin said succinctly.
“I see…” The female leader nodded, unaware of the exact aning of “company,” but from the other party’s words, it seed to refer to a power similar to a religion, gang, or sothing akin to different shelter managers…
Having cleared up the leader’s confusion, Colin turned his head to look at another employee lying stiff on a bed:
“Right, do you rember how long ago you received his ssage?”
As he spoke, looking at the injured employee lying on the hospital bed wrapped in bandages—seeing the state of him, Colin suddenly couldn’t help but wonder, if he hadn’t co along on this trip, would this guy, after healing from his injuries, end up being pulled by this group of strong won for breeding purposes?
But before he could ponder further, the Ashen Holy Body sat up with difficulty, enduring the pain all over his body: “Cough cough cough, I, cough cough, I rember it was about five months ago, he, cough cough, and the earliest he appeared, by current calculations, seems to be around nine months…”
