SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 365 - 365 363 Limited C Level Positions_1

Chapter 365: Chapter 363 Limited C Level Positions_1 Chapter 365: Chapter 363 Limited C Level Positions_1 “The ‘World Codes,’ there are actually over five hundred of them…”

Colin muttered to himself, as he had originally thought these artificial worlds, comparable to Earth, numbered thirteen was impressive enough, but the actual count was a staggering five hundred!

Moreover, it seemed likely that the final tally might rise to three thousand!

And on each “World Code”, a multitude of personnel would be arranged, with how many high-level employees comparable to Level 1 Containment Subjects he had no idea…

Such a vast force…

Just thinking about it, Colin was shocked to his core.

“From what we can see now, the people on those ‘World Codes’ must be the descendants of the Company’s zenith era expedition forces. Although they are aware of multiple worlds, they seem to be clueless about the true nature of the worlds they inhabit…”

“Civilization has clearly experienced a discontinuity…”

“It’s just unknown what they encountered that led to the state of being mere civilization remnants.”

According to Colin’s understanding of the Company, at that time, the Company had likely taken full control of numerous Level 1 Containment Subjects, and even Level 0 ones were not few in number, such as “0-9 ‘Hunger'”.

Furthermore, existences of high stature who worked for the Company, like the “Father of the Sea God,” whether coerced or voluntary, were probably not just one.

What exactly did the Company, wielding such immense power, encounter in the end to conclude in this state?

Was it that so-called 2044?

‘Some of the senior containment subjects sealed on the ‘World Codes’ seem to know something. Once my strength improves, maybe I can try making contact with that one in the underground labyrinth.’

Thoughts flickered through Colin’s mind, and he formed some rough ideas.

Of course, if he were to attempt contact, it would be best to bring “The Light Chaser” along as a precaution…

After all, that was “The Light Chaser’s” home, and he probably wouldn’t want an accident to cause a disaster there.

“Speaking of which, according to the recent intelligence, the hierarchy at C Level and below post-D Level isn’t clear, but starting from C Level after D, the Company’s authority is allocated one to one, not unrestricted, and moreover, the difficulty of promotion is quite high…”

According to what those few said, their group of people had participated in a “Planetary Surface Overturning Level” disaster event and all received first-degree commendations or something similar, yet still less than one-tenth could get promoted…

Hearing this, it seemed like the odds were already quite significant.

Colin wasn’t sure of the specific circumstances surrounding this catastrophic event, but the name alone sounded dangerous.

Completing such an event just to earn a chance at promotion…

At this thought, Colin suddenly had a bad premonition—Lady Bunny had said that as long as he could investigate the status of the “Book of Fate,” she would personally assist him during his promotion.

Originally, he thought the task would be difficult, but manageable…

But now, comparing it, the “difficulty” might be a bit higher than he had anticipated.

“No, not necessarily, considering the Company’s current situation, there may not be many C Level personnel, which might make getting promoted a bit easier?”

While pondering the newly acquired information, Colin discussed the recent events with his teammates.

Of course, he mostly just listened and repeated responses like “okay, okay, okay,” “sure, sure, sure,” “ah, right, right, that’s the way to do it.”

After all, aside from instructing them to stay in the seventh carriage for three hours, the mission didn’t specify any time limits, and Colin wanted to see how long these few could hold out.

And as they discussed and healed, an hour quickly passed.

Once again, a slight jolt was felt from the coupling.

A mist gate opened up.

Upon seeing the door, everyone present couldn’t help but hold their breath and feel utterly drained.

“Sigh, this is tough. Why did this high-level requirement have to fall on us? Doesn’t the Company have any clue about our capabilities?”

“Instead of worrying about that, how about trying to recruit Brother Shunzi to take over? He specializes in difficult tasks, and with him, we might actually stand a chance…”

“Stop dreaming, it’s better to rely on ourselves. Let’s fight our best—no one wants to be trapped here forever, do they?”

Although his soul resisted greatly, his body honestly took steps forward.

This time, Colin, just like before, asked everyone not to rush in and let him listen first to see if there was any new information.

Compared to the eagerness to enter the door last time, this time the others had no objections to this idea.

After all, in their view, the mission was almost certainly going to be a failure, unless they did as the “Fuer Mushroom” muttered and managed to summon Brother Shunzi from another copy; otherwise, there was almost no chance of clearing it in one go.

So they might as well accept their fate, gather as much information as possible, and prepare for the next attempt.

Colin was unaware of their thoughts, standing beside the Mist Gate, tilting his head slightly to listen attentively.

With his passive “Deadly Insight,” he didn’t have to worry about being killed in an instant.

Unlike the D Level old guy from the last carriage…

The fellows in the fourth carriage all chose to enter the “Box Garden World,” seemingly ready to conduct research and deepen their understanding…

“Why do I feel like D Level is akin to graduating from university, all discussing where to get a job? From what I see, ‘World Code’ is for external warfare and ‘Box Garden World’ conducts some kind of experiments…”

Colin raised his hand to his chin, feeling an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

However, before he could gather more information, he felt as if he was being watched.

“We’ve been spotted, be careful,” Colin immediately warned.

As his words fell, dozens of chains made of icy steel shot out from the Mist Gate…

The battle was about to erupt at this moment.

This time, seeing the listless mood of “Son of Sadomasochism” and the others, Colin thought the fight wouldn’t last long and was ready to intervene…

But to his surprise, after nearly ten minutes, they actually won the fight!

Even though Colin had been covertly assisting, he hadn’t done much; it was mostly their own effort.

“Feels like it wasn’t harder than the third carriage, and with the item advantage, it even seemed a bit easier. Damn, with some luck, we could really win…”

“No.7 Little Chicken” suddenly felt as if he was capable again.

The others nodded in agreement; if it continued like this, they might indeed make it through to the end!

“If we really win against the seventh carriage, I’m going to write this experience down, copy and paste it every day so all those folks at the company know I made it to the seventh carriage!”

“Keep it up, only three more to go!”

“And you’re not thanking the big boss? If it wasn’t for him, we might not have even made it past the third carriage.”

“Thank you, Righteous Father!”

“…”

Before long, the door to the next carriage appeared once again.

Colin continued to eavesdrop, but after a while, he couldn’t help frowning.

“Why isn’t anyone talking?”

There was no sound from behind the Mist Gate…

After listening for a while longer and finding no noise, Colin and the others entered.

But as soon as they did, they were stunned…
