Chapter 723: Chapter 519 Some Elites of the Human World._2 Chapter 723: Chapter 519 Some Elites of the Human World._2 “Indeed, looking at this thing, it’s a tool specifically targeting Extraordinary Ones, or to be more precise, designed for anomalies…” Xu Duojin also nodded in agreement.

However, although the impact is lower, staying here continuously will definitely reduce one’s lifespan significantly.

It’s better to take them out if possible…

In the end, after several more hours passed, Colin led these survivors, numbering around twenty to thirty thousand, to make contact with the garrison team of this area.

It was still a Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel who handled the handover: “We will transfer them to ‘The Mirror’…”

“Not taking them out?” Colin was surprised.

“Can’t take them out… There are too many people.”

The Red Head Level 8 Personnel shook his head, honestly, he hadn’t expected the other party to withstand so many anomalies and rescue such a large group of people…

After a pause, he added, “And, generally, it’s also not easy to find places outside that can take them in…”

“Alright, how you arrange it is your business, I’m just responsible for bringing them here.”

While Colin was speaking, he looked up at a high-rise building not far away, where a man surrounded by a layer of strange flowing light stood on the roof. His skin was severely ulcerated, covered in various crystals that gave off mesmerizing colors.

Beyond that, various golden chains bound him, seemingly to slow the loss of his life somewhat.

Noticing Colin’s action, Xu Duojin followed his gaze, then whispered, “That’s the Ninth Level Personnel in charge of this whole area…”

‘So it is a Ninth Level Personnel…’

This was the first time Colin had seen a Ninth Level Extraordinary One other than Old Master Wu, so he couldn’t help but take another look.

He then realized…

‘The corruption is so thorough that not even the basic appearance can be maintained… Humanity is almost extinguished, he’s about to become nothing more than an empty shell of flesh…’

‘I heard that most Ninth Level Personnel seem to be in a similar state, tsk, seems like the power structure at the top of the official forces is a bit unstable…’

Colin analyzed.

This condition was far worse than that of Old Master Wu. Colin figured that if the other party encountered a slightly stronger Level 2 Containment Subject, it would probably take about ten minutes before he would completely lose control and become one of the anomalies…

And there was basically no cure.

This level of corruption, deep into the bone marrow, was far deeper and more thorough than the “Beast Transformation Syndrome” and “Hunger” rooted in his own body.

Unless some extraordinarily powerful individual from a certain company could defy fate, Colin could pretty much be certain of his final outcome.

Of course, although his condition was worse than Old Master Wu…

But as long as there are no accidents, he’s likely to live a bit longer than Old Master Wu.

“Huff…” Taking a deep breath and shaking his head, Colin dismissed the roaming thoughts and continued with Xu Duojin to carry out the last jobs in the “Forbidden Zones.”

After his figure had disappeared, the Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel approached the Ninth Level Personnel.

“Why can this man use his powers almost without limit…” he couldn’t help but ask.

At this moment, the Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel couldn’t help but think of the name “Bonfire Company.” As someone well-acquainted with the higher echelons of the mysterious world, he had a certain understanding…

He knew that after joining, one would obtain something that could significantly lessen the negative effects of their powers.

But… he had never heard of power reaching this level.

“Do not seek to understand what you should not know…”

The man, whose skin was ulcerated and covered with many crystals, spoke without emotion in his voice, but upon hearing these words, the Red Head Level 8 Personnel didn’t speak again, knowing he had been sternly warned.

However, just as he was about to leave, he heard another message from the other party.

“When you rotate out this time, tell those blood drinkers that the arrangements for ‘The Blood Seed Project’ to continue infiltrating eastward can now be terminated…”

The Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel was stunned, not quite certain: “Give up?”

The pressure brought by that “young man” was that great?

“Yes, by suddenly sending this person here, they are probably dissatisfied with our actions over the years, so they sent someone to demonstrate their power as a warning. Clearly, that person’s successor has emerged, thus, stop doing unnecessary things…”

So that’s how it is… The Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel nodded, understanding the reason these two had come over.

Then he remembered some things about the “Bloodline Project”…

The “Bloodline Project” referred to the transformation of the national life form after the catastrophe erupted, trying to acquire the bloodlines, items, and other resources of the Extraordinary Ones from other countries and forces within this extremely chaotic short time, bringing them back to the mirror world to leave this plane with the national main body and look for a new home.

This plan wasn’t just executed by them; it was a joint effort by the human elite from many countries, including those from various Eastern nations.

Generally speaking, it was the plan of the “Spacecraft Faction.”

Of course, the reason they gave publicly was not this but something along the lines of joining forces with local powers to fight against the enemy and so forth…

Although uniting with the locals was part of the plan, it was merely a branch’s insurance measure.

At the heart of the plan, the core was still to take the elites and a portion of the common people from each nation away.

As thoughts flickered through his mind, a Red-Scarf Level 8 Personnel couldn’t help but say, “Facing the future, do we really have no chance at all?”

Ninth Level Personnel shook his head, uttering a murmuring sound, layered and echoing.

“The ‘Sage of Holy Words,’ ‘Star Master,’ and other great prophets have once again confirmed that the chances of staying here are either a return to the ‘Crimson Moon’ or destruction by some kind of disaster and chaos, or perishing in the blaze of glorious stars… Disasters are endless, impossible to deal with, and eventually, civilization will perish… To ensure the continuation of Earth’s civilizations, we must leave…”

“As for those who want to stay, they and those heretics, whether they are ‘The Great Wall,’ ‘The Defenders,’ or whatever ‘Golden Dawn’ and the like, want to persist, let them persist…”

“We will only take the resources we need to take, and we won’t completely cut off their options.”

“However, although failure is almost inevitable, if they indeed succeed, it also means that we still have the opportunity to come back, to return in the guise of saviors, and the world will still be dominated by the elite of humanity, so there will be no loss…”

…

Far away, Colin was unaware that his arrival had triggered an unexpected alert; at this moment, he was grilling a freshly-killed abnormality into charcoal.

However, at this moment, Xu Duojin suddenly spoke:

“I always feel like ‘destiny’ seems to have suddenly changed a bit…”

“What do you mean?”

Colin raised an eyebrow; he hated these inexplicable and elusive things the most.

“I don’t know; it feels vast and complicated, I can only vaguely sense it, maybe it’s a change for the better? Not very sure, it’s a bit beyond my ability, wait for me to go back and ask Mr. Wu…”

“Alright then.” Colin nodded and didn’t press on.

For him, the current mission was what mattered…

“It should take no more than twelve hours, and then everything will be resolved.”

Colin looked up at the world enveloped in a dense haze and continued with determination.

About ten hours later, slightly ahead of schedule, all arrangements were finally in place; Colin returned to the starting point, Mist City.

“I’m exhausted.”

Colin exhaled, sensing all the arrangements he had made, and the “residual heat” of the charcoal he had burned was still present. With the addition of some Flame Golden Marks, he could ignite it remotely.

“Should we give a heads up to the official personnel?” Xu Duojin asked.

“No need, my flames won’t reach them; I can control that. But instead of them, I suggest you not to stay too close to me later.”

“Why?” Xu Duojin asked subconsciously.

“When the flames start burning later, there will definitely be a backlash. I might be fine, but you… It’s hard to say for you…”

Colin glanced at him: “I’m giving you thirty minutes, start running now.”

Hearing his words, Xu Duojin didn’t hesitate, taking off in a certain direction without looking back, a strong premonition of crisis telling him that a deadly battle would indeed erupt for him soon—

The wind is tight, yelling!
