Chapter 722: Chapter 519 Some Elites of the Human World._1 Chapter 722: Chapter 519 Some Elites of the Human World._1 The following operation proceeded as before; Colin waited on the outskirts of the blockade point for the right target to take action.
In comparison to Mist City, it took him less than three hours to collect the materials needed for the blockade.
The Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel led a squad and followed behind silently, watching the whole way, becoming increasingly reticent…
Along the way, Colin killed various anomalies, even the more powerful ones, with just a few bullets from his pistol or a single punch that resolved matters directly…
Seeing this, both he and his squad couldn’t help but feel as though the anomalies had become weaker.
Because everything seemed too easy to handle.
They felt as if they could do it too…
So, during that time, the Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel tried to attack a Third Level Anomaly Containment Subject—
And nearly got himself killed on the spot.
Had Colin not come over to help him, he would have likely solved the problem but at a substantial cost.
Afterward, more doubts surfaced in his mind…
Wasn’t this Ninth Level Personnel afraid of losing control? The Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel wondered.
He had never seen such a “belligerent” high-ranking personnel; after all, using their abilities could cost them their lives!
But at that moment, an idea sparked in his mind, and he vaguely realized something.
However, before he could think further, he suddenly heard Colin’s voice drifting from ahead:
“Overall, this place seems a bit complicated, but it doesn’t seem as dangerous as you guys described…”
Not only the Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel and his companions, but also Xu Duojin standing next to Colin flinched at these words, pursed their lips, unsure of what to say.
“Alright, let’s head to the next area.”
Colin turned the anomaly in his hand completely into char and tossed it ahead, then continued on with the next step.
By now, he had a certain understanding of the dangers of this country…
Setting aside those horrific contentious subjects that had a First Level Containment Subject aura but were not confirmed, other more powerful anomalies were largely sealed.
Especially, the Level 2 Containment Subjects that Colin was most concerned about were much more dispersed than he thought.
In these circumstances, he felt the area was not that dangerous, but not entirely safe either…
Regardless, after dealing with the outskirts of “Mirror London,” Colin continued without break towards the next key area…
He encountered many anomalies along the way, but most lacked the merit to block his path.
The scale of the containment anomalies in the other majority of areas was also much smaller than in Mist City, so everything was progressing steadily.
During this time, in some of the safer areas, Colin unexpectedly encountered many survivors who had not been transferred into “Mirror” timely; they were usually not clustered together.
Instead, there were a few dozen here, a few hundred there, with the largest group he encountered amounting to just over a thousand people…
Colin, acting according to mission orders, cleared the anomalies around them and then asked the group to follow him. Although some did not trust him, thinking it was a trap, most of them saw the flame he held in his hands and followed him sincerely.
As for those who refused to leave, Xu Duojin was responsible for dealing with them; “Fate Propeller” handling ordinary people seemed as easy as playing.
Additionally, the strong sense of warmth that came from “Bonfire” made the odds of them following reach one hundred percent.
The only thing that left Colin speechless was that many of the ordinary people following behind him thanked him, referring to him as a messenger sent by some omnipotent The Holy Father or something like that, like a Seraph…
Then they crafted a whole logic: The haze and anomalies were tests and now that the trials were over, the great father had sent a messenger to save them…
There were various other theories, but they were largely similar.
“All sent by someone or another to descend here…”
“Thank you, messenger dispatched by the great father, for granting me strength, so that I may walk untiringly amidst the disaster…”
Sincere prayers echoed from a distance.
‘That’s to be expected, after all, you’re able to keep walking because you’re burning my “Colorless Crystal”…’
Colin felt a bit heartache over his own consumption; it was his goodwill at work, yet the credit was going to someone else.
Of course, he didn’t oppose these people’s assertions.
After all, it facilitated his mission to bring more survivors together without making too many explanations…
Another interesting note was…
The “Mountain of Smiling Corpses” gained another layer of identity as a Holy Beast.
It seemed this entity might become a creature of mythology in the future…
Unaware of what Colin was thinking, the people following behind him looked fervently at his silhouette holding up a small “Little Sun” in his right hand, muttering indistinct scriptures, and walking along the path that the firelight had cleaved through the haze.
Xu Duojin glanced at this group of people.
Despite the lack of any “fate” guiding them besides the flames, they followed as if bewitched.
This effect was almost as good as his forced guidance.
Speaking of which, ordinary people under the “Haze Angel” seemed to be unaffected too greatly.”
Colin, perched on top of Corpse Mountain, lifted his right hand, skillfully crafting an image, somewhat surprised at the Haze Angel’s minimal impact on ordinary people.
Extraordinary Ones below Level 8 who entered here would last at most a week or half a month before a rotation was required.
Yet, these ordinary people seemed to have been here for over a year at most.
If it were the Extraordinary Ones, they probably would have coughed up their lungs by now.
