Chapter 52: Asking for help
[Event 23: By all means, survive until the end of the countdown to Event 5.] 】
Note: Special rewards will be awarded for completing this event.
...
"Hey, this mission can still be set as a task? And, what is the significance of this mission? It's not helpful, isn't it..."
Colin sat cross-legged on the floor, eating with the "Gluttonous Power Mark" in his hand, and his thoughts diverted attention from the strange senses in his stomach.
Then he soon realized that the event seemed to be guiding him in some way.
It was as if it was pointing out: don't try to escape, don't try to fight, just Gou, and all problems will be solved on the seventh day.
This made Colin, who had just been hit hard and didn't know what to do next, to have a certain idea.
"If you don't need to confront head-on, you don't have to escape, as long as you persist, then seven days is not without a chance."
"First of all, we have to make the soldiers in the city vigilant, so that we can avoid being attacked by the out-of-control bestiality outcasts outside the city tomorrow..."
"Then find a way to interfere with that ritual tonight, if you can stop it directly, everything may be solved."
As one thought after another flashed through his brain, Colin's body gradually recovered, except for his eyes, and he stood up.
He was going to go to the female noblewoman first.
At this time, only through her did she have the opportunity to indirectly mobilize the power of the city.
"But speaking of which, I suddenly wonder if this noblewoman has been arranged from the beginning, so coincidentally, in every sense of the word..."
Colin was a little suspicious, but he didn't think much of it now, because he really needed their help now, anyway.
But just as he was about to act, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to Tang Kenn beside him: "You haven't asked yet, what did you bring in?" ”
Tang Ken was stunned for a moment, so he didn't expect Colin to suddenly ask this, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Three days' worth of military dry food, as well as a multi-purpose shovel, a mini pistol, and more than a hundred rounds of ammunition."
"I was going to bring a mini Uzi, but I couldn't squeeze the space so I didn't bring it."
After a pause, he continued: "I didn't know I was going to stay here that long, otherwise I would have brought more food if I had known, but it would not be a big problem to save some food." ”
Yes, it's much more reliable than Li Ming's... Colin wasn't surprised that he was able to get a pistol, after all, this man was retired and had his own channels.
Li Ming's civil engineering guy didn't bring anything, so he really didn't hold it when he took out the children's rifle.
However, now that something has happened, there is no way to go back, whether that guy can live or not can only depend on fate.
If you're lucky, we'll see if you can pick up a rat in the church and deal with it.
If I really didn't, I wouldn't have starved to death in those seven days...
Even if he starves to death, he still has a life, don't panic.
"By the way, how did you get caught by those guys with a gun?" Colin noticed this.
If he had taken out a gun at that time, there was a good chance that he would have escaped.
Some embarrassment appeared on Doncan's face: "In order to put things into the storage room, my pistol was disassembled, and I was going to wait until I got out of the crowd to assemble it, but I was knocked unconscious before I could go out..."
"Then get it right now, there should be all kinds of troubles next, get ready, be mentally prepared to kill."
Although he knew that this person should have blood on his hands, Colin still reminded him.
Seeing the other party nodding, Colin didn't say anything more, and once again came to the city wall that he had just climbed.
He glanced back behind him before attempting to climb the wall.
"I still don't feel the aura of 'bestiality' on these people, then, the 'Book of Numerology' mentions a large-scale outbreak of 'bestiality'... Is it artificial, or is it for some other unknown reason? ”
After a few seconds, Colin retracted his gaze and sighed, planning to think about this for the time being, and was going to go back to the other party to understand the situation first.
After easily climbing over the walls, Colin and Doncan quickly headed for the inn where Helena was.
Compared to the small inn they rented, Helena's side was much more luxurious, and it was also protected by soldiers at night to ensure that danger would not happen to the nobleman.
"Stop! Who are you?! ”
As Colin approached, someone immediately let out a scolding voice.
There were also a few people on the other side...
"It's me, go and inform Helena, I have something important to look for her."
Colin walked slowly, directly and decisively, without hiding his identity.
"You? Who are you? How dare you call the nobles by their names, do you think that anyone with a big name like a nobleman can visit? Especially now that it's late at night! ”
The soldier on guard frowned, suspecting that he was a wrongdoer, and slowly drew his long knife, trying to drive the person away, but the members of the noble guard on the other side obviously recognized him.
"Wait, don't do it, are you the Thunder Priest today?"
"Yes."
Colin nodded, and did not deny the identity that the other party had pressed for him.
Anyway, it's still that sentence, you know everything...
Thunder Priest?
The soldier who wanted to draw his sword was stunned, and then he was terrified, worried that he would be hated by the other party, and wanted to explain something, but Colin waved his hand to say that he didn't need to care before he breathed a sigh of relief.
You guys have a pretty serious class mentality here, right?
Colin saw his reaction, combined with today's experience in the city, and had some general experience of the social model here.
More than ten seconds later, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and the noble guard had just returned:
"Your Excellency the Reverend, Miss Helena is already waiting for you upstairs, please come with me."
After saying that, he began to lead the way ahead.
Colin followed and came to the third floor, where Helena, a nobleman, was already sitting on a wooden chair waiting in the huge living room.
And her old butler, who was tired but strong, stood to the side, his eyes bloodshot, and obviously had just woken up.
Pointing to the seat next to him, when Colin sat down, Helena, who was still wearing a gray robe to hide her face, spoke:
"Your Excellency, do you have anything to do with us at this time?"
This tone sounds a little wake-up, but also, in their opinion, it is difficult to reach a safe place, only to be woken up in the middle of the rest, which is really annoying...
Colin's thoughts flashed by, and without grinding with the other party, he said directly:
"I've noticed that there's a catastrophe coming and that all the people in this city may not survive.
"If you don't respond, neither me nor you.
"All people die, no exceptions."
When the words fell, the whole room was silent, and the pins could be heard.
