SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 150 - 150 150 Awakening_1

Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Awakening_1 Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Awakening_1 In the pitch-black road ahead, an armored vehicle filled with lights came rushing forward, its massive tires rolling over puddles on the ground and splashing water everywhere.

Before long, the armored vehicle came to a stop, and a large door at the rear opened.

Everyone looked towards it and saw a dozen fully armed soldiers seated inside.

“You… get in the car quickly!” A female voice called out, sounding very close to the one from the intercom earlier.

Almost at the same time, Dog Brother and the others realized that these must be the rescue personnel Gao Haiwen had mentioned.

[Gao Haiwen, now controlled by a special force, was about to catch up, and what’s more terrifying was that something unimaginable, following behind him, was about to arrive here…]

[At this moment, the only thing you can think of is to accept their help and escape from here.]

Lines of text appeared before their eyes.

“Get on…”

Dog Brother had just started to speak when he paused, a look of resistance in his eyes, but the increasingly intense sense of oppression behind them left no room for consideration.

Just as stated above, this was the only path they had right now.

Moreover, this was the path Gao Haiwen provided them “at the brink of death,” and in such a situation, he shouldn’t be lying, so it should be mistake-free.

The people exchanged glances, seeming to have some last hesitations…

“What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get in the car! Otherwise, it’ll be too late!” Seeing them hesitate, the woman in the neat uniform scolded.

And just as their words ended, a strange and chilling howl came from behind.

Clearly, it wouldn’t be long before that unknown terror caught up with them and their human legs would not be enough to escape.

“Let’s get on,” Dog Brother decided, knowing that refusing now was pointless and that they had to board anyhow.

Furthermore, the content from the “Narrator” wasn’t all bad; everything had to be viewed dialectically.

However, no sooner had Dog Brother and the others made their decision and started to move towards the vehicle than they suddenly heard a sigh close to their ears.

Following that, within a ten-meter radius amidst the barely audible roar of engines, be it people, vehicles, lights, or rainwater, even to the splashing water droplets, everything came to a standstill.

“The ‘Narrator’ is really bizarre, utterly unpredictable. It just corrodes people out of the blue, and I’ve sent several messages in a row that went unseen. If I really let them board the vehicle, the chances are they’d be gone…”

A somewhat haggard figure landed on the ground out of nowhere—it was Colin, who had been lying dead for several hours.

Behind him, “Loafing Immortal” still held the posture of carrying someone, motionless.

Looking at the frozen world before him, Colin muttered to himself:

“If I can just hold on for a few more hours, I can recover and go back to normal. Why… why do they have to push me like this?

“No, it might not even take several hours to recover. I’ve just noticed that every time I’m about to recover at critical moments, something disrupts the process; something unexpected always happens. If it’s not one organ acting up, it’s another…

“The power of the ‘Narrator’ has been interfering from the shadows…”

Colin took a shallow breath and lifted his right hand, which had been crudely bandaged by unprofessional hands. With a thought, a faint blue mist of ice burst from his middle finger, covering everything before him…

When the ticking of the “tick-tock” reached the fifth count, Dog Brother and the others abruptly stopped in their tracks as a wave of cold air assaulted them. Their pupils contracted to pinpoints as they stared ahead in shock.

Before them, the people in the vehicle who had been inviting them a second ago were now all turned into ice sculptures.

Frost clung to them, leaving no sign of life.

“What happened?”

Amid their confusion, they suddenly saw that a figure had appeared beside them.

“Holy shit, Brother Shunzi?!”

Loafing Immortal was taken aback, only then realizing that Brother Shunzi, whom he had been carrying for over an hour, was now lying on the ground: “What, what’s going on? You’ve recovered… uh.”

He had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he noticed Brother Shunzi’s eyes suddenly looking bizarrely—one up and one to the left—which made his otherwise serious expression seem strangely… cunning.

“Barely.”

Colin closed his eyelids, blinked, and then when he reopened them, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

He had now preliminarily gained control over the authority of his limbs and organs, so he was able to move, but there would likely be some backlash later.

If it weren’t for the Narrator pushing him too hard, he would have probably waited to completely take over his body before opening his eyes.

“Did you kill them all?” Dog Brother asked with an uncertain tone, looking at Colin, who was shrouded in a mist of ice, and expressing doubt about his actions.

In the faint mist around Colin, they could see a figure that seemed to appear and disappear—

Another method they had never seen before!

No, they had never seen it, but they had heard of it somewhat—”Widow Yukionna.”

“Didn’t kill them all, kept a bit, as for the rest, shouldn’t I kill them, keep them for the New Year or something?” Colin shook his head, feeling a bit confused. Inside, there were so many voices and a mess of hormonal secretions, making him feel quite unwell and uncontrollably irritable.

Keep one? Wasn’t that the same as killing them all?

Dog Brother reminded him, “These people… they are the reinforcements called by that Gao Haiwen…”

“Reinforcements?”

Colin suppressed the complex emotions inside him, and while walking towards the armored vehicle, he began to speak, “Have your brains been gnawed on by pigs? Can you trust what he says?”

“Uh?” The others were taken aback, vaguely thinking of something.

“I’m not too clear about what that person is like, but he said it himself, right? He has been ‘contaminated’ by the Narrator, the answers are written all over your faces. In this situation, you actually dare to believe what he says?”

An hour earlier, Colin had already regained control of his ears and had heard the noise outside.

Even though he knew his colleagues’ intelligence had been compromised by the Narrator, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes…

Every single one of them was extremely cunning outside, plotting this and that, setting up more than a dozen chat groups among the five of them. Yet, once inside, their brains didn’t seem to work as well.

Then, he kicked away an ice sculpture blocked in front that had been frozen by the Yukionna and boarded the armored vehicle: “Hurry up, if you don’t want to die, get on the vehicle fast. Those things behind us are about to catch up.”

In a sense, the content of the Narrator was not wrong—it would be best to accept their help now.

Only, unlike what was said above, Colin chose his own way of accepting it.

Dog Brother and the others were silent for a moment. Although they had many questions in their hearts and wanted to understand things clearly, they also knew that now was not the right time, so they followed suit.

After all, just as before, they didn’t have much of a right to make their own choices now…
