SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 444 - 444 391 As an Extraordinary One could I

Chapter 444: Chapter 391: As an Extraordinary One, could I possibly be exhausted to death by moving just two bricks?_2 Chapter 444: Chapter 391: As an Extraordinary One, could I possibly be exhausted to death by moving just two bricks?_2 An employee changed the subject and asked curiously:

“Are there only a few of us here? I thought the mission said there were more than twenty of us…”

“The others are still on their way, and they should all arrive by tomorrow at the latest. It’s similar to that ‘selective trial event’ you did; everyone is currently scattered around and has to complete registration before they can reliably appear from the church…”

After Colin’s brief explanation, except for a few official “double duty” employees who did not understand the reason, the others nodded to show they understood.

The official personnel didn’t understand because they didn’t have much demand for props. Besides saving money to buy more “Gene Compensation Medicine,” they basically didn’t spend points on anything else and wouldn’t try “selective trial events” on a large scale…

However, it wasn’t a big problem, as their first task upon showing up here was.

The first thing everyone did was to register at the location of the Bonfire…

“They might have to spend the night outside if they don’t arrive until tomorrow at the latest? Those might have bad luck,” an employee said involuntarily.

The nights in this world aren’t something to mess with. If one doesn’t light a fire and gets trapped in it at night…

“So the main task this time is to go out and fetch people back,”

Colin said, “But even if we don’t bring them back, mixing with those refugees and spending a night shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

Throughout this time, he had also gained quite an understanding of the darkness of this world.

For example, when the disaster survivors wander, they can’t possibly have a fire every time, so they try to fall asleep before night falls. Once asleep, they can remain asleep amidst the darkness until they wake up the next day.

The probability of encountering danger during this time drops to almost negligible…

Within the night’s veil, all things are stilled.

Even the anomalous succumbs to the same fate…

Besides that, burying oneself in a dirt hole or entering a completely dark enclosed space can also achieve a similar effect.

And if one doesn’t use these methods to avoid the risks of nightfall, there’s a not-so-small chance of disappearing or going mad.

However, this is only feasible for ordinary people and some low-level Extraordinary Ones, while stronger Extraordinary Ones, such as those above D Level, seem more prone to accidents whether asleep or awake…

The stronger they are, the more likely they are to encounter problems.

That’s why it’s also known in this world as the “Transcendent’s Nightmare,” the “Curse of the Mighty,” and the like.

So as long as Colin could ensure that E-level and above personnel were brought back on the first day, that would be enough.

“Speaking of which, I remember when I first came in and was chatting with Calder and Vanessa, they mentioned that the reason for the nights in this world being like this seems to be related to the ‘Light’ Church?”

Colin stroked his chin, recalling their words, and had some thoughts, but unfortunately, they didn’t know much, having only heard rumors that it might be related to some event hundreds of years ago.

“Three or four hundred years ago, the ‘Light’ Church was known as the ‘Holy Light Conclave,’ but something happened, and it fragmented, falling from its position of uniting most of ‘World Code-13,’ into countless branch churches. The ‘Light’ Church is the largest of them, and that was also the biggest event at the end of the last epoch, the beginning of this one…”

“Unfortunately, the local people I know don’t have very high status, so they don’t know much inside information.”

“But one thing is worth noting; that time point hundreds of years ago… seems to also be when the company had problems?”

Colin speculated randomly, but unfortunately, there were no significant revelations.

Afterward, as he brought several people to the Bonfire to complete their registration, he tried to contact the Saintess through the Golden Mark, which was now the size of a fingernail.

But for some reason, his call this time fell on deaf ears, with no response…

“She’s probably on some other task,”

Colin shook his head, then gave a few instructions to the employees present, and went out on his own to fetch people.

As for those Church personnel who were about to visit…

He wasn’t in a hurry to make contact.

Soon, as Colin left, Li Ming and the others turned around at the church gate and looked at this group of “senior employees,” feeling a bit of pressure in their hearts…

He had just learned that every one of them held a higher position than their current G Level!

Especially since one of them seemed to be on the same level as the boss…

Could there be two individuals capable of nuclear-level interventions?

The trio had been looking forward to experiencing what it was like to be leaders, but now they only felt immense pressure.

Seemingly sensing their dilemma, “Life Mentor Adorable” stepped forward and said, “Since Brother Shunzi has told us to follow your lead, just arrange things as you see fit, and we will try our best to complete them…”

These were Brother Shunzi’s direct subordinates—they couldn’t just be treated as low-level employees. If they became unhappy and complained to Brother Shunzi, that wouldn’t be good!

Brother Shunzi, the boss’s nickname within the company? Li Ming mumbled to himself, then promptly got started with the work arrangements.

“We just need to farm, build houses, treat illnesses, and hold training sessions… Are these really all we’re supposed to do? No need to go out and investigate anomalies?”

An employee, upon hearing the arrangements, couldn’t help but express surprise: “This is so easy?”

“Yeah, it’s like retirement, eh? If I had known it was this simple, I would have come earlier…” another employee couldn’t help but add.

They had thought they’d be sent out into dangerous areas to investigate, but instead, they were asked to do ordinary things…

Like moving bricks, farming, saving people and such…

How could they, esteemed Transcendants, with their extraordinary bodies, be worn out by moving a couple of bricks?
