SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 413 - 413 380

Chapter 413: 380 Chapter 413: 380 “It looks like the people of ‘World Code-13’ are in luck, they should be able to harvest a bunch of faith, no, rescue more innocent civilians. Speaking of which, my ‘Colorless Crystals’ are also running out.”

Colin quickly thought about its use scenarios, feeling that it was a pity to be a bit slow.

If only this had come a month or half a month earlier…

“The next entry time is on the 25th, but speaking of that place, the key issue is still the lack of people.”

Colin rubbed his forehead, it had been those same three people for a long time.

He could imagine how they would complain next time they went in…

However, given the current situation, he could only push the employees harder, draw some more big pictures, and promise to hand out some items like Gene Compensation Medicine.

“Add a bit more, this is the ‘company values you, that’s why it gives you such an important task’ kind of talk?”

Stroking his chin, Colin gave it some thought and then refocused his attention.

Next, he used the remaining “D Level Item Draw Coupon” and the “Advanced Talent Extraction Ticket.”

“Green Talent ‘100℃ Body Temperature’? This… this is freaking useless… I’m running a fever now, and it’s definitely over a hundred degrees…”

“Green Named Item ‘Cough Blood Greatsword’, draws blood from friends and foes, turning it into sword energy for slashes, and has a few special skills that consume blood… not very useful… but it can be used when drawing big pictures for Li Ming and the others.”

Looking at the two items, Colin shook his head and sighed.

Then came the last coupon…

“The Disordered Ghost Train” designated item retrieval.

Colin used the coupon, and a long list of items appeared on his retina.

“‘Dawn Blade’…”

“‘Blue Soul Entangled’…”

“‘Demon Calos’s Hand’…”

“‘Precision Strike’…”

….

“Eh, that Demon Sword ‘Phantom Witch’ isn’t on the list? That’s good too, otherwise if it were selectable, the plot would seem a bit off…”

Remembering the “Phantom Witch’s” obsessive love for that employee, and then suddenly becoming someone else’s property…

Colin cast aside some thoughts in his mind.

Then, his gaze swept over the hundreds of purple and green pieces of gear…

“As expected, not a single piece of orange gear, but this one looks good, and this one looks good too…”

“Ah, it’s a pity, you can’t have them all…”

After pondering for quite a while, Colin finally picked his prize, an item named “Mark of the Fire Tree” from an employee’s possession.

It appeared as a tattoo mark, and when used, it could summon a burnt flame-like anomaly, providing the summoner with a continuous healing effect as long as there was something to feed the flame…

Putting aside other effects, just the healing alone was more than three times that of “Gluttony Power Mark.”

“Colorless Crystals can burn too, with a high conversion rate, pretty good. The only negative effect is, to bind with it, you first have to subdue it in some dream before you can use it…”

“Hmm, this bully’s approach clearly looks like the company’s style.”

“Once recovered, it’s likely to want to incinerate and assimilate the holder, but it’s not a big problem, the energy level of purple gear is limited, assimilating me is almost impossible…”

Colin nodded in satisfaction, not in a hurry to move right now, and pocketed it.

Closing the “Storage Room,” Colin’s gaze then turned to the “Interactive Hall,” which seemed to be breathing rapidly.

With such a big deal this mission…

The Interactive Hall must be quite lively inside.

Sure enough, just upon entering, he saw every discussion board and chat room in a state of explosive activity.

Messaging flashing by at a frenzied pace…

“Holy shit! Did you guys see Brother Shunzi’s last sword strike? I would call it, a sword that cleaves gods and opens heaven’s gate!”

“I always felt so embarrassed when you guys hyped up Shunzi, we’re all F Level Employees, how strong can you really be? At best, beat a few D Level staff, but now… you useless bunch, didn’t eat enough food, can’t even brag properly?!”

“I declare, Brother Shunzi has now ascended to a ‘father’ figure!”

“Too strong! Too strong! Brother Shunzi is too strong! He doesn’t seem like a mere human at all, beyond understanding, I suspect he’s an undercover alien sent from outside the Solar System…”

“Pure passersby, no flattery, no slander, fair appraisal, doesn’t seem like an Earth person.”

“You’re right! But that’s Brother Shunzi! Thick-skinned, powerful, with Time Stop, instant kill abilities, healing methods, and almost no visible cooldowns, like a cockroach that can’t be killed, and when things get tough, he can even explode his Microcosm, once the Microcosm explodes it’s just aaaahhh!!!!”

“So frustrating, I was executing a task at the time and couldn’t make it…”

“That’s your loss then, you didn’t get to see Brother Shunzi and me fighting side by side, slaughtering countless enemies in a frenzy…”

“Why, why… Even though I’m not in a mission status, they still won’t let me go… I would do it for free, without any compensation…”

“Hahaha, speaking of which, I earned 1800 points from this mission!”

“Only 1800 and you’re bragging? Obviously, you’re an inexperienced little F Level, I got 2500+!”

“Tsk tsk, just passing by with 3000 points…”

“I’ve got 4100 points in the bag!”

“5000…”

“6000…”

“8000…”

“…”

“300 points, got ’em!”

Surrounded by countless perils of the catastrophe mists, Shana was in a good mood as she looked at the points rewarded for completing the mission.

In addition to points, she also received a thousand loaves of black bread—

And not the sour and hard kind!

But the slightly soft and fragrant black bread!

The place they entered for the mission might have been a bit dangerous, but the reward was very good!

Of course, compared to that seemingly normal “Bonfire Agent” with five thousand points, these 300 might seem trivial, but for her, such earnings were quite good…

At least, compared to sudden riches, this stable accumulation of points felt more reassuring.

Just that…

Thinking this, she remembered the place she had previously intervened, the environment there, and wondered how the others were faring.

“I hope all is well.”

With a prayer in her heart, Shana then withdrew her thoughts and cast her gaze towards the distant land enveloped by layers of catastrophe, awaiting rescue.

Here… many people still needed to be saved; she couldn’t stop.

…

“One or two of them, at least they have a good attitude.”

As Colin looked through the various messages, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, finding this group’s mentality to be quite optimistic.

They were able to recover so quickly from the previous battle…

You should know, that last fight wasn’t a game; the enemies didn’t just vanish after they died. The intensity throughout was extreme, with all sorts and sizes of torn flesh and broken corpses everywhere, scenes too brutal and bloody to pass censorship even with pixelation.

In comparison, the “Human Patchwork Monster” dish in the underground labyrinth was child’s play…

Just one glance was enough to give the average person several days’ worth of nightmares.

And yet, these people… at least the majority of them appeared to have no issues, judging by their replies.

After scanning briefly, Colin felt his own morale had also recovered quite a bit.

“Hmm, maybe it also has something to do with that ‘Mist Gate’, perhaps passing through it provides some sort of mental protection?”

Colin recalled the scene at that time.

After emerging, he felt as if his entire body had been cleansed thoroughly, injuries healed, and he returned just as he had departed, free from any lingering troubles.

After watching for a while longer, Colin was about to leave when he suddenly noticed all the messages had stopped moving.

As he wondered what was going on, a golden official announcement emerged on the parchment…
