Chapter 819 - 819 564 The Bad News About Xu Duojin

Chapter 819: Chapter 564: The Bad News About Xu Duojin Chapter 819: Chapter 564: The Bad News About Xu Duojin “You, who are you, what have you done to me?!”

The official Extraordinary One, severely injured and slipping into semi-consciousness, became instantly alert when he opened his eyes and saw Colin.

However, before he could resist, he suddenly found his whole body riddled with branches.

In response to his questioning, Colin simply pulled out a document and placed it in front of this nearly Sixth Level official:

“Don’t worry about who I am, I’ve just finished dealing with a troublesome matter. Tell me everything you know about the current situation.”

On the special paper, stamped with over a dozen direct seals from the highest authority.

And these seals’ inspiration matched up with the man before him whose body was flowing with fire.

“I understand…” the severely injured Sixth Level Personnel sighed with some relief.

These things, at least to his knowledge, could not be counterfeited…

As a Sixth Level Personnel, a mid-to-high-ranking official, he knew a fair amount, though not everything was completely clear to him.

What surprised Colin was that eight or nine days had passed since he had entered that district and seen things, not just the one hour or slightly more than two hours that he had felt.

However, the exact amount of time that had passed was unclear to the severely injured official Extraordinary One.

Since that time, disasters had been occurring continuously, and with the night sky permanently obscured, even the passage of time had become difficult to judge.

Up until now, a large part of the region had lost contact, and many shelters, ill-prepared and lacking in strength, had been seriously damaged…

However, compared to the anomalies that had no significant awareness,

More terrifying were some areas where non-human heretic alien species had begun to invade, arriving by unknown means and, compared to common abnormalities, these heretic civilisations’ actions were more targeted.

They carried out indiscriminate slaughter, control, torture, and corruption of all human lives, regardless of gender or age…

And what made people even more desperate and troubled was that these weren’t even the most serious problems.

Above their heads, the light that was gradually turning crimson as the “World Barrier’s” integrity continued to collapse,

That was the truly troubling and desperate matter…

However, no one had much of a solution at hand: they could only watch helplessly as disasters destroyed the world.

After listening to the other party, Colin nodded and then asked, “Where do you plan to go next?”

*Cough cough*, to the Takasugi Shelter to seek help…” said the Sixth Level Personnel, somewhat weakly.

“Takasugi Shelter…”

Colin murmured softly, then immediately, information about the Little Maid flashed across his retina, giving him a general understanding of the shelter’s condition.

Among the official shelters, there were seven star levels, and the five-star Takasugi Shelter was already one of the higher-level shelters.

It would be garrisoned by multiple Level Seven Personnel and possibly Eighth Level Personnel.

The five digital shelters Colin was more familiar with were the highest, seven-star shelters.

‘This ranking system feels like that of hotels…’

As thoughts flitted through his mind, Colin surveyed the surroundings, roughly assessed the injured people, looked far off observing the intensity of some anomalies, then pulled an irregular lump of coal wrapped in gold from his pocket.

At the same time, he took out five “Colorless Crystals,” infused one into the other party’s body to ease the injury and strengthen his condition, while the others were sent into the bodies of the over a thousand people present through fire.

“I don’t have the time to escort you right now. When you move later, you can ignite this, and within the range of the flames, no anomaly will dare to attack you easily.”

Deep within the black char wrapped in gold, faint wails could be heard, seemingly originating from some terrifying creature left behind after being processed and burnt in a special way.

Once burned, it could maintain a flame for at least a month or more.

Among the heretic anomalies that had appeared before the “World Barrier’s” integrity fell below fifty percent, those carrying fire would instinctively flee and avoid them, and most would not attempt to breach the flames to harm them.

Because their value was insignificant, the costs and benefits weren’t proportional.

Moreover, thanks to some kind of energy source and the Bonfire Blessing, they might be plagued by extreme hunger for a considerable length of time.

But it wouldn’t particularly affect their physical abilities…

“Thank you…” After receiving most of the information, the Sixth Level Official Personnel was taken aback, knowing this definitely counted as a valuable item.

However, just as he was at least going to properly thank the man, he found that the man in question had already disappeared without a trace.

…

At the same time, up in mid-air, Colin flew like a stream of flames toward a certain direction.

While talking with that worker, a new mission request had emerged.

The content was: to solve an imminent hidden danger…

There wasn’t much information, but it provided a direction, not very far but definitely not close.

After exchanging information with “Lady Rabbit,” Colin had a strong premonition that the hidden danger mentioned in the new request was probably that “The Rat.”

And at the same time, he could truly sense something brewing in that direction.

Many indistinct gazes were casting their attention there…

“What exactly is up with this moon…”

Colin sensed above his head, his heart heavy with concern.

The night sky had been perpetually covered and the moon hung in the exact center never changing.
