SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 662 - 662 489

Chapter 662: 489 Chapter 662: 489 “Now you can feel the flame, but everything else can wait until after everything settles down. It’s not the right time to receive any kind of power.”

He could, though, grant others power through certain methods, but not too much.

But it wasn’t necessary to turn away an employee that had fallen into his hands…

If there was an opportunity later on, he could attempt to bestow the flame upon these people and the believers from World Code 13.

On the other side, two D Level staff members who were processing blood listened to their conversation and couldn’t help but smirk and chat quietly:

“The kid is dreaming too big, aye. We live under the same sky as Brother Shunzi and never got that strong. He thinks he can get stronger just by following? How could that be possible?”

“Exactly, the kid just hasn’t had enough chicken soup for the soul. Drink more, and you won’t be so easily moved.”

Orange Cat nodded in deep agreement, then commented that Brother Shunzi’s ability to hoodwink had also gotten stronger.

As time ticked by, the task-required one hundred liters of blood was fully collected.

On the ground, within each large container, was the fresh, active red blood that still wriggled slightly…

“This stuff is pretty strange; it never seems to dry up when roasted.”

Colin muttered to himself, then glanced at the time again. There wasn’t much time left until the final six hours when he had to ignite the flame as the task demanded.

After taking a short rest to get his condition back on track.

Colin had two employees come before the blood and briefly explained the situation before igniting the blood with the “Bonfire”.

Then, it seemed like he discovered that the blood couldn’t be ignited?

It could be roasted and evaporated, but it seemed like it couldn’t be lit on fire?

“What’s going on?” Just as he wondered, Colin suddenly saw that the two employees seemed to have received some new task.

Then the two stepped forward simultaneously, one with a blade of wind and the other with a steel needle, each cut their fingertips and dripped a drop of blood into that eerie mutated blood…

The next second, something unexpected happened!

The blood that the Bonfire couldn’t ignite suddenly boiled violently.

Following that, “boom” went the noise!

The one hundred liters of blood burst into flames, and the light was extraordinarily bright.

“Ignited with blood?”

Colin raised an eyebrow, genuinely not understanding the principle behind it.

But it was at this moment that he realized he could to some extent control these abnormally bright flames…

This indicated that odd as they were, they indeed were flames and fell under the jurisdiction of the “Flame Bearer”.

However, the task didn’t seem to require him to control them.

Under the spiritual guidance of the task, Colin reached from his left hand to his right index finger, touching the “Revolver Reverser” that had been turned into a ring.

The next second, surging flames emerged from his body, mixing with the flames composed of blood.

At this very moment…

Colin felt a palpitation in his heart, sensing a pressurized gaze brush over from far away…

He instinctively wanted to trigger the flames, but held back due to an indescribable sense of danger.

His intuition told him that the entity casting the gaze currently couldn’t pinpoint their exact location, but if this firelight brightened up…

The situation could become unpredictable.

“That direction, if I’m not wrong, is the territory of the ‘Dusk Faction’, so are they… ‘The Night’?”

Colin frowned but wasn’t entirely sure.

Without waiting to ponder further, a transparent vortex slowly emerged.

It didn’t sweep up anything but rather seemed to emanate some secret force.

Immediately after, all the flames, as if controlled, swept towards the two employees, seeping into their bodies…

This process lasted quite a while, a full hour, before all of the fire produced by the burning blood was sealed into the two employees’ bodies by the company with some special method.

Overall, both of them emitted a faint glow of fire from their bodies.

At the same time, deep within the pupils of their left eyes, a flame slowly burned.

Colin stepped forward, looked at them both, and pointed to the position of his own left eye: “What’s the situation?”

It seemed like their task had been cut off there.

He wasn’t clear on what was happening with them…

“It seems like in a while, once we reach the area designated by the ‘Dusk Faction’, we’ll directly detonate this fire and create a ‘Bonfire Coordinate Point’…” Orange Cat looked up a bit and sensed the task in her mind.

‘Hmm, does it mean that the Signal Tower has already been built, but to avoid detection, the signal hasn’t been deployed?’

Colin nodded, not pressing for further details.

…

However, at the same time, on Earth, all employees above E level including E level, received a message.

[Support Event: Short-term Descend Support Event in Three Hours.]

[Mission Description: In three hours, all employees who receive this task and meet the criteria will descend into “Lost World-49 (Temporary Code)” through the special “Bonfire Pipeline Network” to provide aid for “Employee 654321”.]

[Detailed mission requirements will be issued after the mission starts. All employees should be prepared!]

[“Note”: Death in this mission results in immediate return, and other non-“company items” cannot be brought along.]

…

As the mission suddenly popped up, the employees were all momentarily taken aback, instinctively wanting to refuse.

However, upon seeing the name “654321”, they stopped in their tracks.

“Seems like the same kind of big-scale support mission as before?”

“What’s happening? Looks like Brother Shunzi’s at it again, pulling off some big move behind our backs?”

“Charge! We won’t die anyway. Follow Brother Shunzi for the good life! I’m already prepared to make some extra cash!”

“I don’t know which world I’m going to or what task I’m supposed to do. I only know I’m ready to go on a killing spree!”

“Ahhh? Why aren’t F Levels allowed this time?! Is it discrimination against low-level employees?”

“F Level kiddos, just play with mud at home. This isn’t for you low-level guys to take part in.”

“@Confused Cutie ①Sob Sob⑦, you dare say that to Brother Shunzi from his F Level days!”

“Hahaha fine, fine. These official try-hards finally got their dog aides banned! Last time around, these guys relied on aide equipment to snatch quite a bit of merit!”

“Is there anyone who can take me along? I want to go on this mission too, boo hoo hoo…”

“…”

Having had the experience of a previous time, they were not the least bit panicked.

Especially when they saw Brother Shunzi’s name, they were even more at ease. After all, no matter what, they could come back even if they died. As seen from the last mission, the return meant coming back alive.

They didn’t have to worry about returning as a corpse.

…

Just as the employees were rubbing their hands in anticipation of taking action, Colin was also preparing to move.

Among the more than fifty thousand “Defiants” with Akasha, except for a part who had lost their power and returned to “ordinary people” after surviving a periodic catastrophe, the other thirty thousand-plus Extraordinary Ones had already sprung into action…

Unable to cross the Mutated World like Colin, they had to set up in advance.

“Alright, let’s move out!”

Colin waved his hand grandly, flames erupting from his body as he led more than a thousand people from this station point to the battlefield.

The towering giant made of wild flames, like a deity, strode step by step across the twisted, mutated land, with all things incapable of stopping its progress.

An hour later, they were tens of kilometers away from the “Dusk Faction” headquarters.

Colin could already see that the world ahead was unnaturally “dark”…

‘Has the ‘Eternal Night’ ceremony been going on for more than a day?’

‘Mm, the power of ‘The Night’ exists, but it feels like its will is not keeping up. Even so, it’s still quite terrifying.’

‘I’ll have to crank everything up to avoid any accidents, and yeah, with so many people here, “The False Powerhouse” can still be useful…’

As thoughts flickered, Colin’s attention turned to the ground, where he could see train carriages stretched out like The Great Wall resting upon the earth.

At the same time, some enemies had already appeared up ahead…

Countless pitch-black assailants surged upon the land, launching the first round of attacks on him.

But Colin did not plan to lift a finger.

Because there was no need.

All the attacks couldn’t even get close before being melted by the wildfire…

He merely maintained his normal state, enough to drive these people to despair.

The first line of defense, set up by the “Dusk Faction” at considerable effort, was so effortlessly broken through.

Not a single surprise, not a ripple of disturbance occurred.

“Not even a slight hindrance was caused?”

Looking at the Flame Giant, with its fire lighting up half the sky, marching on with an unmatched presence and overwhelming pressure, everyone present was gasping for breath, their expressions filled with despair.

The carefully laid traps couldn’t make the opponent pause for even a step.

Such a formidable foe…

How were they supposed to confront it?
