Chapter 490: Chapter 413 We Cannot Become Sinners._1 Chapter 490: Chapter 413 We Cannot Become Sinners._1 When?!

The squad commander of the Silent Legion turned his head and saw a figure engulfed in flames, who had appeared beside him without notice.

Following him, they looked at the gigantic “Flood Demon” that had been slain in front of them.

At this moment, as if noticing his gaze, the powerful man withdrew his eyes, turned his head toward him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing eight teeth in what he thought to be a mild smile:

“Hello.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

The rest of the squad reacted extremely fast, aiming their weapons at the stranger who had appeared suddenly.

However, before they could retaliate, the squad commander raised his hand to stop them.

He did not feel any obvious malice from these people.

And it seemed they were not traitors to humanity, those Heretic Followers…

“Who are you?” the squad commander asked.

Upon hearing the electronic synthesized voice that was neither male nor female, Colin didn’t beat around the bush and replied straightforwardly, “We’re sent by the company to execute a special item retrieval mission.”

While speaking, he took a glance at the “survivors”…

It could be seen that these people were clad in a special armor that was impenetrable to air, all of them towering at a uniform height of two meters. Except for the insignia on their shoulders, it was hard to tell who was who.

Hearing Colin’s words, the squad commander was puzzled for a moment: “Company?”

Didn’t recognize us? Could it be they are not from the company?

Colin raised his eyebrows but quickly noticed the insignia on the chest plates of their armor, which should be the Expedition Army symbol he had seen before, so it must be right…

Moreover, there was a certain “aura” about these people that only company employees would have.

And of course, the most crucial point was…

The moment he set eyes on these people, the mission refreshed.

[Event Eight: Communicate with them, obtain as much intelligence as possible, and use their help to infiltrate ‘Core Zone B’ at the appropriate time, locate and retrieve the item…]

“Remark”: The time is approximately within three hours, please understand the specific details on your own.

…

With the mission “guarantee,” it was basically certain they were one of us.

After a moment of thought, he changed his statement and then said, “The full name is ‘Bonfire Camp Special Item Containment Company’…”

Upon hearing this, the squad commander hesitated for a moment, then as if coming to a realization, his body trembled, “You… are the personnel sent by the company? The company still exists?”

The other members of the squad heard this and seemed to show signs of shock, becoming unsteady in holding their weapons.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were all wearing full-body armor, Colin felt their expressions underneath would be quite amusing.

‘It seems like they hadn’t thought of it because the company’s presence had been absent here for too long?’ he thought to himself.

With that thought, Colin nodded.

“It’s… truly… such a relief, that outside, our company’s people are still around, that our persistence has not been meaningless…”

The squad commander murmured in confusion, his hands trembling before clenched into fists, then after what seemed like an internal struggle, he finally let out a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted, releasing his fists.

As the other party recited the name, they could confirm through some implanted items in their brains.

These people… were colleagues!

‘Why such a big emotional swing, isn’t it too much?’ Feeling the emotional changes, Colin had a sensation that the guy in front of him could pass away “with a smile” at any moment.

“May I ask, what item are you here to retrieve?” The squad commander seemed to have let go of all doubts and asked.

“An item related to time, it causes a regional reversal of time in certain areas, making affected people possibly repeat the process over and over…”

Colin feared they might not understand “Time Reversal,” so he simply explained some of its effects.

“Related to time…” The squad commander immediately realized what Colin was talking about.

After all, the infamous “Reversal” within the entire starship occurred because of this thing.

All anomalies seeking to leave were trapped here forever, repeating the same events countless times, unbeknownst to them, because of its power.

But before he could say anything,

Boom boom…

The ground trembled slightly.

Looking up, they saw a massive wave of twisted, mutated flesh surging towards them.

Seeing this, the squad commander’s face under the armored helmet changed color as he spoke urgently, handing something on his chest to Colin while directing him, “It’s a massive ‘Flood Disaster’! You escape first, take this badge and move in that direction…”

“And you?” Colin asked instinctively, taking what was handed to him.

“We’ll try to lure these things away. According to their habits, they’ll prioritize chasing the largest group. Head in that direction, and you’ll soon meet the main task force. You’ll be safe then. Just tell them you’ve encountered 999178534220121511…”

While speaking, the squad commander placed her hands on her helmet and removed the black helmet to reveal the face of a woman with short gray hair, lovely features, but slightly asymmetrical…

As if a realistic oil painting had been scorched by the flames, somewhat distorted.

At the same time, the other squad members removed their helmets as well.

“Hiss…” Seeing their faces clearly, Colin and the four mobile eyes behind him were taken aback.

It wasn’t that these people were extraordinarily striking in appearance.

It was because, regardless of gender, their features were too similar, as if cast from the same mold.

The only discordant thing was that their faces were somewhat distorted…

However, not dwelling too much on this, Colin shook his head: “I thought you had some other mission to attend to. If it’s just this, then follow me.”
