Campfire Shelter

The train was slowly stopping at this moment, and what was different from the past was that when it stopped this time, the power of the train itself was quickly disappearing.

This is something Colin and others have never experienced before.

However, compared to this, each of them looked outside in shock.

In the red world outside the window, blood-colored "rain" keeps falling from the sky.

Colin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw that these "rainwater" were actually some unknown minced meat, similar in size to rice grains and snowflakes.

These minced meats themselves seem to have some strong activity.

After falling, they gather together and combine with all things to produce unknown distortions.

At this moment, the place where the train is about to stop seems to be a deserted forest, but there is no greenery in the forest, not even a dead leaf or a weed. Instead, there are pieces of meat of different sizes. .

Either they hang on the treetops like fruits, or they fall on the ground and squirm and grow like mushrooms.

Even though the car hadn't stopped and the door hadn't been opened, everyone could vaguely smell the indescribable smell of rotting flesh.

"Gulu."

The sound of swallowing came from the train carriage, and an indescribable appetite arose in everyone's stomach.

The smell of rotten meat, which should have been disgusting, stimulated their appetite.

"Wow."

Colin stretched out his hand and the bonfire rolled, burning all the odor completely and completely.

However.

The “flavor” is still there!

The rotten stench gave people an indescribable feeling of wanting to eat the meat.

An inspiration emerged and Colin knew why.

‘What the hell, the ‘smell’ of these things is not only transmitted through ‘smell’, but also through ‘visual’? Can you 'inhale' the smell when you see it? ’

Colin hissed, this was the first time he had seen such a strange scene.

He shifted his gaze, and the smell weakened. It wasn't until he tried to close his eyes that the smell completely disappeared.

‘The anomaly here is not simple.’

Although his eyes were closed, he could still see things relatively clearly, so the impact was almost non-existent.

After thinking about it, if nothing unexpected happened during this mission, I should have spent the whole process with my eyes closed.

"Brother Shunzi, what are you doing?" The orange cat on the side noticed his behavior, which was a little strange.

For the first time, he and the "Lord of the Fish Pond" who looked the same also closed their eyes for the first time.

Although I don’t know what the boss is doing, at this time, just follow it.

That is, they closed their eyes and discovered the reason.

At this time, Aikaxi seemed to feel something, opened his eyes, looked at the familiar environment outside, and explained before Colin: "This smell can be transmitted through vision. If you close your eyes, you can block the smell impression.

"However, it's basically just a 'hunger' stimulus. Under normal circumstances, once you get used to it, there won't be much of a problem.

"Of course, when watching, it's best to stop inhaling the corresponding breath, otherwise you may lose your mind due to double stimulation."

The believers of "Eternal Night" have been accustomed to this feeling for a long time, so they have a lot of experience in dealing with it.

When Aikaxi spoke, he glanced at Colin in surprise. He didn't expect this first-time visitor to discover the pattern so quickly.

‘It’s not a big problem for others, but it’s not necessarily a problem for me. It’s just a special attack. ’

Colin grunted in his heart. Compared to others, he was more afraid of this feeling of being constantly stimulated to eat.

Short-term stimulation was okay, but if he continued like this for a long time, he didn't dare think of what would happen.

But think about it, Colin closed his eyes and said to the other two employees:

"You can clearly perceive your surroundings without closing your eyes, so you don't need to learn from me. Just act like Aikasi and control and pay attention to emotional changes."

"Okay." Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Although they also have the ability to perceive their surroundings with their eyes closed, this ability is not enough to replace vision like Colin.

And that's the time.

The train came to a slow stop.

With a "click" sound, the car door slowly opened.

That is, the moment the door opened, this section of the train seemed to have lost power, and there was no movement at all.

The smell outside the door was so strong that it almost formed a thick fog and poured into the car. However, as soon as he entered the door, it was burned clean by the flames. Apart from the smell, there seemed to be no sign of the various flesh and blood from the distorted world outside entering the car.

"This 'meat rain' is a special climate that occasionally appears. It usually lasts for a few days. It looks like it won't stop for a while now. Try not to touch them while you wait, otherwise it will interact with those you touch. Any part of the human body combined with parasitism will deform the person.”

Aikaxi looked outside through the car door and explained the situation to everyone.

After a pause, she added: "Besides, as long as we don't go out, we won't be attacked. Only when we go out will those things move."

"So, this is just like a safe house?" Orange Cat asked curiously.

"'Safe House'?" Aikaxi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "If no one lures the abnormality here and causes accidental injury, that's basically the case. If someone deliberately lures the giant aberrant creature, then Although you won’t be noticed by hiding in a car, you may still be accidentally injured.”

At this time, Colin spoke and asked, "What's next?"

"Let me see"

Aikaxi is sitting on a chair. Her basic body functions have been restored by the "Fire Tree" and have almost recovered. However, there is still a surgical root tied around her neck.

As she spoke, she reached into the inside of her black robe and pulled out a folded roll of parchment.

He spread it out skillfully, and after several operations, wisps of light floated out of the parchment. These lights quickly constructed a three-dimensional map in the air.

Then, after Aikaxi didn't know how to operate, two marks appeared, and there was a line between the marks.

"This is us, and this is the target direction. Let's return to the stationing point of our 'Rebels' first. This distance, if everything goes well, can be reached in a dozen hours or about a day."

"When we get there, we will discuss with everyone how to destroy the ritual of 'Eternal Night' and start plans such as starting the train."

Aikasi looked at Colin to explain.

"Can."

Colin nodded and showed no objection as to the special functions of the other party's parchment.

He didn't show much surprise. After learning about the "functional module" from "World Number-13", he had already had a hunch that the "branch" would have some unique functions.

Then, Colin glanced at the opponent's map.

He secretly estimated that the module he got from the "branch" seemed to be able to perform a function similar to this.

It's a pity that the quantity of the module is not large, and there is a limit on the number of users after it is made. Based on my feelings at the time, it is estimated that it should be enough for about ten people after it is made.

'Otherwise, create a similar function and distribute it to all employees. After one or two hundred points are turned on, and you spend a small amount of points every time you use it, you can probably get up to seventy-seven or eighty-eight points to complete the gold card upgrade. ’

Unfortunately, that thing is too small to do that.

Colin calmed down his thoughts and looked at Aikaxi who was about to put away the parchment. He suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, do you have that kind of internal chat function?"

"Yes, but the upper part is occupied by the 'Night Faction'. If we speak up there, there may be a certain probability of being tracked, so I usually ignore those things. Do you want to see it?"

Can it still be tracked? The "branch"'s personal privacy protection is not very good, but it can be seen from it that it doesn't seem to be completely occupied. Colin said:

"What if we look at it? Can they find it?"

"No." Aikaxi shook his head: "Absolutely not."

"Then take a look."

At Colin's signal, Aikaxi opened a function called "Wide Area Communication". Once inside, the layout of chat and other things was similar to theirs, but the content was completely different.

"Attention! Attention! The selection of devotees for the 29th 'Eternal Night' ceremony is underway! Only those with pure hearts, firm wills, and strong minds can be qualified to receive divine gifts in the 'Eternal Night' ceremony."

"If you succeed, you will become a great pioneer of your tribe and be respected by everyone."

"His family will also be eligible to live in one of the first safe houses in the newly created world."

"The age range for this recruitment is between twelve and thirty years old, and all selections must be made."

The content pinned to the top is about the recruitment situation of "Eternal Night", and the above introduces some basic information related to it.

Behind this post, many ordinary people posted messages such as "Praise for 'Eternal Night'.", "I hope mankind will take a step forward!", "Choose me! Choose me! I will lead everyone to open up new territories." " and so on.

In addition, there are also "Recruitment of skilled farmers in the XX area, the farming plan is about to begin.", "Recruitment of the Construction Corps." and so on.

At Colin's signal, Aikasi clicked on these posts, and the content below.

"My broken leg was reattached this year! Choose me, I want to contribute!"

"Although I am over a hundred years old, I can still farm and praise the 'dark night' and our efforts."

"There is a large piece of special energy crystal in the northeastern area. I want to report it."

"."

Correspondingly, Colin and others were somewhat silent after seeing the information, because it was not the same as crazy as they thought.

Then, at this time, Aikaxi opened another content that was placed on the headlines.

"Beware of traitors playing the "freedom" card. 》

Content: Recently we have received some news that a group of human traitor forces calling themselves "Rebels" are secretly spreading unrealistic fantasies through some channels in an attempt to make us give up here and leave the world.

After the judgment of the experts of the Holy Elders, it has been determined that all human beings have perished and this is the last world!

We are the last hope of human civilization!

We must unite!

For the future, for mankind, and for one day to truly reach the promised land without hunger, distortion, or distortion.

All tribesmen should work together to crack down on illegal "rebels".

If you see anything unusual, please call the "Judgment Team" immediately to report it. We will distribute a series of prizes such as eggs and Orfa nutritional supplements.

Human beings, you and me, the future depends on everyone!

"I'm reporting. A few days ago, when I was following the land reclamation team, I seemed to bump into some strange figures. They didn't seem to be aberrant creatures, but maybe those nasty bastards of the 'Rebels'"

"There is something wrong with the family in the seventh seat in the car next to me. There is often no one in their dormant cabin during rest time."

"I am here."

"Why do you feel that apart from being a bit religious, everything else seems pretty good?"

Colin touched his chin and glanced over it. Before looking at it, he thought it would be some madman spouting all kinds of nonsense.

But after seeing them, everyone seemed quite polite and didn't seem to be crazy at all.

It can even be said that there is an inexplicable feeling of discomfort.

At this time, the "Master of the Fish Pond" complained accurately about his discomfort: "Why does it feel so abstract? Why don't people here establish a political system? Why don't they post dirty pictures? And why don't they say bad words?" Can you speak dirty words?"

Although the above content does not seem abstract at all, this is the greatest abstraction.

Orange Cat also nodded in agreement: "I just said why it is so clean and so "awkward". It turns out that it was not me who was wrong, but them."

"You don't have to speak if you can't speak."

Colin waved his hand to tell these two shameful guys to shut up. He felt that compared to the people above, these two people who hang out in the company seemed to be polluted.

However, looking at the above content, Colin narrowed his eyes slightly, and he discovered something: "There doesn't seem to be that 'robot' here?"

"That's right! I didn't see that group of fools asking for the address every day!!" Only then did the "Owner of the Fish Pond" discover the root cause of feeling "clean".

He stays in the "chat hall" all year round because he collects points.

Among the people present, he was the one who had the most contact with that ghost. It was really annoying to be harassed.

"What 'robot'?" Aikaxi saw the reactions of several people, with confusion on his face.

"A kind of special weird thing that will try every means to find out your current location."

Colin explained briefly, and then saw Aikaxi shaking his head.

‘Does this mean that this thing is unique to our main company? No, ours might be a regional ‘branch’.”

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Colin was a little curious about what a "robot" was.

But now I have business so I don’t think much about it.

He restrained his thoughts, asked Aikaxi to turn off the "wide area communication", put away the parchment, and left the car door to start taking action.

After being slightly prepared, Colin closed his eyes and manipulated the "bonfire" to attach to everyone. When Aikasi pointed out a direction, he was the first to lead the team out of the car door.

Above the head, the rain of minced meat was burned directly to ashes before it could pass through the fire curtain.

At the same time, all the pieces of flesh within the field of vision seemed to have sensed something, and they squirmed towards the area where Colin was, stretching out flesh buds like snail tentacles, swaying as if they were about to reach over.

Colin ignored it, closed his eyes, and looked in the direction of the target through flame perception.

Through the "red rain", one can vaguely see some dangerous aura in the distance, some towering, distorted pieces of flesh like mountain peaks, with giant tentacles extending out and dancing.

In addition, there are some strange figures approaching.

‘Very sensitive to the smell of strangers. ’

Colin raised his hand and flicked his index finger, and a burst of flame shot out, igniting a strange flesh-and-blood tree that was uprooted and trying to get closer.

"Follow up!"

After saying hello, the flames on his body spread outward in circles.

After everyone followed, Colin led the team like a sharp sword and tore a passage out of the twisted world of flesh and blood.
