Under the light of the bonfire, at the turn of the stairs spiraling down in front of you, wisps of strange black mist slowly rose out.

"Is this what the demons were afraid of just now? But I don't seem to feel it."

While thinking about it, Colin manipulated the flames like a stream, descending the stairs layer by layer, and merging into the area of the second floor.

Through the perception of flames, Colin "saw" that the layout of the negative second floor seemed to be similar to that of the negative first floor, with the same fork in the road with the word "rice" and the same cold metal creations

The difference was that some corpses appeared below, and the black fog was even thicker.

Overall, though, the problem doesn't seem to be too big.

Sure of this, Colin walked down with his four friends.

That is, it just came down, and it seemed that something was triggered, and not far away, some anomalous creatures suddenly appeared out of thin air.

They are very special in form, showing in the form of aerosol, in the mist, there are vague bright spots, like strange small nebulae.

At this moment, they rushed towards the turn of the stairs, as if intending to leave the place.

But sensing Colin and the others, they paused, and then thunder and lightning erupted from the clouds.

Flashes of lightning slashed

"Is it a life trapped in 'countercurrent' time again?"

Colin's thoughts flashed, and the prepared flames on his body erupted further, dispersing the electric light.

Then, without waiting for the creatures to make a choice between running and staying, he bent slightly, and swooped down on them like a cheetah.

And in the process, lift the left wheel and pull the trigger one after another.

Bang bang bang——!

The gunfire was almost continuous.

Ordinary entity bullets with flames pass through their foggy bodies, seemingly unable to form an effective attack, however, the flames on the bullets directly ignite them.

One by one, they burst into flames like catkins that have encountered fire.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

A large number of colorful crystals containing strange energy fell from mid-air.

"Tsk, it's a gold coin."

Collin's eyes wandered among the dozens of crystals, and then he saw that there were small metallic things in the fist-sized crystals

They are about the size of an index finger, and they are densely packed with something.

He reached out and the flames swirled, taking the index finger-sized objects in his hands, and then swept his gaze to understand the situation of the anomalous creature he had just encountered.

"Containment Label, No. 6-978341, Containment Level, Level 6 and below, Low Threat, Low Intelligence, Special Silicon-Based Life, Experiment Report, Each '6-978341' can stably produce about 74 kWh of electricity per hour, can survive for three years under continuous power supply, and can absorb stellar heat energy after death, most of them are in a suitable environment, and can regenerate after three months to one year, and the difficulty of incubation is medium level 3."

"Starship Energy Department evaluation is that the development value is low, not as good as the devil"

"Tsk, seventy-four kilowatt-hours of electricity in one hour, this is still low?"

Colin's eyes lit up, the company didn't look down on this, but he felt quite good, seventy-four kilowatt-hours of electricity in one hour, just this one can supply electricity to a building

The key is that it doesn't seem to be polluting, and it can be regarded as efficient and clean energy.

And the methods of stimulating it to generate electricity, and restricting it, are all in the metal sign of the containment label.

You can use it casually when you go back

As for the hatching method, in addition to separating them by unknown means, they can also be artificially forced to be crystalline first, and then cut a certain amount, and they can become two in the sun

The process is somewhat like a potato, except that the results are not very stable.

"Let's take a name, let's call it 'plasma potato', this thing company doesn't look down on, maybe because its ceiling is not high enough, but it's just right on our side."

Colin was disgusted by the company at its peak, but he didn't dislike it, and he didn't rush to hand it over, but accepted part of the spar.

This kind of energy is not squeezed out of energy to die, the resurrection time is much faster, and it will be able to come back to life in about a few days and continue to dedicate itself to human energy.

In Colin's view, this is definitely a strategic-level energy source

As a person who is willing to share and never eats alone, after Colin picked up a dozen, he did not forget to give one to his teammates, and selected two "plasma potatoes" and handed them to the four people around him.

"You will divide the two in half." Colin admonished.

"What the hell?" Fur Mushroom didn't refuse, but was a little curious.

The other three did the same, all looking at Colin for an explanation.

"See for yourselves." Colin gives the containment number label.

And then

"Hey,, I feel like I see a new energy future other than nuclear energy"

"Life coach is so cute" looked at the spar in his hand, his face shocked.

Although the above said that the value is lower than that of demons, the difficulty of demon energy mining is higher, and it is far less easy and suitable than this.

Of course, the only limitation of this thing is that it has an upper limit of differentiation, which seems to exceed a certain number of times, the efficiency is reduced, the difficulty of differentiation is increased, the result is unstable, and so on.

But even so, it is still very valuable in the eyes of everyone.

"It's a battleship that can cross galaxies, and if you leak something on it, you feel like it can solve the biggest problem that plagues our world," the rookie sighed as he put things in his pocket, planning to go back and study how to use them.

If we can find the technology to allow them to hatch naturally, we will really enter a new era.

The "Fuer Mushroom" on the other side heard his words and couldn't help but quip: "By the way, if this thing spreads, there shouldn't be 'oil in the backyard, and the beauty is home' in the future, right?" ”

"This is not certain, you have to be careful when planting potatoes in the future" "The Son of Lust" pursed his lips.

"Alright, let's continue the investigation and see if there are any other gains."

With a wave of his hand, Colin handed over a "Plasma Potato" to the company, and continued to lead them with the "Sealed Right Hand" card.

There are not many anomalies trapped in the "time reversal" in the negative second layer.

However, the strength is much stronger than that of the negative layer, otherwise it would not be possible to come to this place, but unfortunately, although I have encountered other fugitive containments twice during the period, the value is not very high.

Or rather, for them now, the value is not very high.

In addition, Colin and the others also saw some corpses, some of which were of different races, and some of which were members of the starship.

"It's strange, at present, as long as it is not recycled by the company, once it dies, or it is out of a certain range, it will be forced to enter the time regression, and generally no corpses will be left, so how did this part of the corpse remain?"

In one passage, Colin and the others looked at the corpse of a man in a faded brown coat with a puzzled expression.

The corpse looked like a dried corpse in the desert, dead for an unknown amount of time

And the way of death should be because of the loss of half of his head and several large transparent holes in his chest.

But even if he died, he still clutched a few iron chains in his hands, and the ends of the chains were connected to the corpses of multiple strange creatures.

If nothing else, it should be the same fate.

"I can't see any creatures, it should be an unknown species, and everything has been wiped out, and he died very thoroughly, and he can't even judge the strength level before birth, but I feel that it shouldn't be C-level."

Colin withdrew his gaze, not pondering the doubt.

He tried to motivate the mission to recover the corpse.

However, there was no response to the mission, and the company did not seem to have any plans to pull the employee back to bury him.

"I'm sorry buddy, I can't take you away for the time being, I'm afraid you'll have to continue lying here."

Colin grunted, and strode through the area, towards the stairs at the front of the road.

Also through the flame perception of the situation below, after determining that there should be no surprise of jumping face, he came to the negative third floor with his four moving eyes

Compared to the above, the black fog here is thicker, and the atmosphere is more oppressive.

Even, there are some permanent traces on the metal wall that have not been scratched.

"The monsters here should be quite strong, after all, according to my estimate, if you want to leave a mark on these special metal walls, at least a Level 3 containment can do it."

"And those monsters who are caught in the 'time countercurrent' are quite troublesome to be honest.,It's only triggered when you get close to them.,Otherwise, you can't usually feel it through the bonfire.,You have to activate the 'sealed right hand' to be aware of it."

"But it's too much energy to be energized all the time, and it's impossible to keep it all the time. Forget it, take it one step at a time. ”

Shaking his head and gathering his thoughts, Colin continued to follow the requirements of the mission, continuing to follow the mission guidance to find the staircase that led to the next floor.

It's just that, as they approached the position of the staircase down the negative third floor, Colin and the others noticed that there were more corpses that had not fallen into the "time reversal".

Sometimes a passage is full of corpses of all kinds of dead bodies, and the intensity of the war is extremely high.

Even, weirdly, in some places, even if Colin didn't pass, he could hear a voice coming, or a roar, or a heavy footstep, and the whole was extremely chaotic

It's just that after walking over with the mentality of being curious to see if they can investigate something, they found nothing, nothing was triggered, and nothing was seen.

But after leaving, I could vaguely hear invisible whispers whispering quietly, and see unknown figures swaying

It's no longer as "quiet" as it is on the minus one and minus two floors.

"It's like haunting."

Even with the blessing of Brother Shunzi's flame, "Life Coach is so cute" still couldn't help touching his arm and felt a chill down his spine.

He is not afraid of the demons and monsters that can be seen, but he is a little hairy about these strange things that cannot be seen.

"Be prepared."

Colin reminded him, then manipulated the fireball to hang behind his head, and continued to take steps and lead the team.

The task requirement is to keep investigating, but it does not give the extent to which the investigation will be completed.

Even if it doesn't feel right, they can only continue to act.

After another ten minutes, Colin solved a strange one that fell into the "reverse flow of time", and when he passed a fork in the corner, he couldn't help but "hiss" and took a breath

I saw that in the corridor quite a distance behind this corner, there were all corpses wrapped in brown clothes.

They are found around every corner, leaving little room to stay.

"All humans, and most likely battleship employees, what's going on here."

Colin looked up at the front, his eyes erect, the light of the fire flickering, and he could vaguely see the stairs leading to the next floor a thousand kilometers away, and at the same time saw countless corpses on the road to the staircase.

Pay off all the employees of the company.

Eerie, weird, but. Inexplicably, not scary.

"It's all with their backs to the stairs, and a rough judgment is what they should be dealing with? But it seems that I haven't seen the corpses of monsters other than humans, why? Are they non-entity types, or are these people being taken for a moment's time? ”

"Forget it, it's the same as before, don't think about it."

Colin looked at the staircase in front of him, and then at the corpses on the ground, although he had respect for these employees, but to avoid accidents.

He still manipulated the flames and burned the corpses on the ground.

"I used to forget it once in a while, but this time there are too many of them, and if something goes wrong, it may not be able to deal with it."

Looking at the "new" corridor, Colin gathered his thoughts, and then, holding three cards in his left hand at the same time, and holding the revolver in his right hand, continued to walk forward.

However, it was only when we reached the middle of the game that the mutation suddenly happened!

"Give me death!"

With a roar, a female figure galloped forward, with a blurred face, short hair, a brown coat, and a long knife that was constantly spewing flames.

When it appeared, the entire hallway vibrated and the temperature seemed to rise dramatically.

"Life coach is cute" and the other people's scalps tightened, feeling that the other party was like a locomotive, and hurriedly supported the defense.

'The smell of a campfire?' Is this your own person? ’

Colin was about to draw his gun and shoot, but when he felt a similar force, he stopped again, and the flames on his body also rose, trying to use this to identify the other party.

It's just that, even though he did this, the other party still didn't stop.

"I didn't recognize it, or did I have no reason? However, the strength is quite strong, but it is definitely not a C-class personnel, and it is most likely a D-class."

As thoughts flickered, Colin stared at the other man, ready to subdue him when he came to the "Time Stop" or "Repulsion" position.

But just when he thought he would run into the other party

In the next second, the figure stopped halfway and swung out the surging fire-breathing broadsword.

"Boom!"

The broadsword seemed to have struck something.

An illusory figure covered in strips of cloth was forced out of the air and smashed to pieces with a single slash

However, before he died, he also dealt a fatal blow to the female person who was dragging the fire knife, cutting off the left half of her head, nearly a third of her head.

"This seems to be a 'campfire stalker'? He's not targeting us, wait, it's because of the historical images that 'go back in time'? ”

With his knowledge of the "time series", Colin immediately realized that everything was at the root.

At the same time, he saw that the female member of the flaming broadsword had her head shaved off, and she didn't know what ability she used, and then her pale hand reached out from the ground, picked up the other half of her head, and handed it to her.

"These people are not ghosts, it's really troublesome!" She pressed the head straight back into place.

", what a strong vitality" Several employees saw this scene, and their eyelids jumped.

However, the "life mentor is much cuter" glanced at the three of them and said:

"You don't have to underestimate yourself, after D-level promotion, as well as matching talents or props, you can achieve a similar effect if your head is cut off."

Hearing this, several people said "uh".

But before I could say anything, there were a large number of anomalies rushing in the field.

A new enemy is coming

"At least Level 2 containment strength." Colin felt the breath and made a quick judgment.

At this moment, beside the female officer, some faint figures appeared.

Sir, you can't keep fighting. Getting out of this line of defense won't last long. Leave."

"I'll leave it to us."

Will fight everything. Block"

Compared to this powerful woman, those figures were very blurry, they couldn't see clearly at all, and even the words were a little distorted.

Even when she is around her, she can only appear slightly, and the rest of the time she is in a faint state that she can perceive, but cannot see or hear.

"Withdraw?! There are still a huge number of victims down there who have not been transferred! The breeding site is still in the process of being transferred, and if it is withdrawn, what will happen to those people?! With your strength, can you stop it? ”

She said disdainfully, with no intention of retreating, and after speaking, she sensed the scene through the flames with a knife: "Ten minutes!" Hold the 17th line of defense! Do whatever it takes! ”

"You've been nominated for a C grade and there's a good chance you won't be like us. Died here in vain."

"Fuck the C-level, you can't hold a position, what's the use of going up? There's no room for error here! My instincts tell me that if I lose, the whole battle situation can be affected, and I don't want to be a human sinner! ”

The words fell, and a new round of fighting broke out.

Colin saw the figure wielding a long knife, and in the "long" ten minutes, he wielded the long knife to repel many enemies.

Even Level 2 containment was forced to retreat at the risk of life and death

Despite knowing that she was not alone, in Colin's eyes, she was almost alone.

Most of the other members will only be visible when they are around her.

"Report! The front line is in an emergency. The enemy is rushing in."

"It's a second-level threat of terror, and there is a part of the will of the first-level threat that cannot be dealt with by conventional means."

"Hahaha, the will of a first-level threat creature? It seems that I am really here to affect the situation of the battle, otherwise these guys would not have come! ”

The female personnel with the power of the campfire sneered, their faces dripping with blood, looking straight ahead, not half afraid of the coming power that was once called "gods", only hatred.

"There are still three minutes and twenty-one seconds, brothers of the expeditionary force, the time has come to sacrifice for the fate of mankind!"

"Gambling with your life and mine! Everyone, activate the 'Campfire Furnace Device'! In three minutes! I will not allow any enemy to break through this line! The seventeenth line of defense will not become a mouth! ”

She shook off the long knife, stabbed her right hand into her heart, and forcefully ripped out a burning heart and held it high above her head:

"Take on the power of the 'bonfire', and I will fight side by side with you!"

In an instant, from the burning heart, a scorching flame spread.

It was also at this moment that Colin's eyes shrank, and he saw tens of thousands of figures in the spacious corridor.

The power of the "bonfire" is blessed to them and gathers in their hearts.

"Kill!"

A member of the expeditionary force collided with the unsightly enemy as if it were a torrent of flames.

The line of defense that was about to be broken through was held up again

However, it didn't take long for an even more terrifying force to descend here.

A large number of members fell to the ground and died.

The "reverse flow of time" stopped, and the tunnel that had been filled with flames returned to darkness, leaving only countless corpses on the ground

"This?!"

Looking at the bones that had reappeared, Colin's breath faltered at first, but soon calmed down.

"Without the smell of pollution, it shouldn't turn into a zombie or anything, but just now, it was the arrival of the first-level containment body?"

Colin thought for a moment and realized that the thing wasn't supposed to be trapped here.

Otherwise, there should be its presence in the "reverse flow of time".

Instead of looking like it's hedging against the air, as it just did.

Then shaking his head, gathering his thoughts, he looked at the corpses on the ground that were so dense that there was almost nowhere to stay, and instead of choosing to burn them again, he stretched out his feet, toes out of the group of bones, removed a place, and continued on his way.

The few people behind him wanted to step on the place where Colin landed, like a chicken and a hen, but after thinking about it, they still maintained their formation and continued to move forward in a group.

After a short while, Colin passed by the female personnel death area, and subconsciously glanced there, but did not see her body.

On the contrary, in her place, there is a rare "open space".

After all, it's not a 'fire owner', and it may not even be a reserve, forcibly using strength to ignite oneself, and the result can only be that there is not even a bit of scum left.

However, although she herself was completely burned, there was still something left.

A broken sword landed silently in an inconspicuous corner of the hallway.

After thinking about it, Colin took out a hundred dollars and summoned a "rich slave" to go over and pick things up.

After visually checking that there is no danger, he takes it in his hand and opens its panel.

[A completely scrapped long knife: It used to seem to be an excellent level item, but unfortunately it has been completely scrapped at this moment, and it has been worn out along with its characteristics, and there is no possibility of repair. 】

"Ah, that's a pity, but looking at it this way, she should really be just a D-class, but she belongs to the elite kind."

Thinking of this, Colin subconsciously glanced at a few people around him, and then couldn't help but shake his head.

They are all D-class members, why is the gap so big?

Then again, this employee seems to be wearing a purple suit? Counting the somewhat special heart, two of them will be killed, and in addition to the heart, even if this long knife is repaired, according to the performance just now, the effect is not estimated to be very good.

"It can't be said to be the bottom in the purple suit, but it's not a boutique, and if you lose it in the company group, you may be disliked."

Suddenly, Colin suddenly understood why sometimes when fighting with that C-class brother, the other party would often use their props to talk about things, and felt that the excellent purple props were a complete waste in their hands

If this person has an orange suit in his hand, or that heart, it is a real "fire bearer" heart.

Maybe the tide of battle here will be reversed.

No matter how bad it is, if this knife is changed to a just little purple suit, maybe it won't be so tragic here

And noticing Colin's eyes, several D-class employees, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little confused

Inexplicably, I feel as if I am despised, but I am not very sure.
