Chapter 52 Asking for Help
[Event 23: Use all means to survive until the countdown to "Event 5" ends. 】
Note: You will receive special rewards after completing this event.
"Hey, this mission can actually be a set of missions? And, what's the point of this mission? It's not helpful, no."
Colin sat cross-legged on the ground, eating with the "Power of Gluttony Seal" in hand, and diverting his attention from the weird senses in his stomach through thinking.
Then he soon realized that this incident seemed to be guiding him in some way.
It’s as if it’s pointed out: Don’t try to escape, don’t try to fight, just endure. By the seventh day, all problems will be solved.
This gave Colin, who had just been hit hard and didn't know what to do next, some ideas.
"If there is no need for a head-on confrontation, and there is no need to run away, as long as you persist, then there is not no chance in seven days."
"First of all, the soldiers in the city must be on guard. This way they can avoid being attacked by the out-of-control lycanthropic refugees outside the city tomorrow."
"Then find a way to interfere with that ritual tonight. If we can directly stop it, everything might be solved."
As one thought after another flashed through his mind, Colin's body functions gradually recovered. Except for his eyes, other parts of his body recovered to some extent, so he stood up.
He planned to find the female noble first.
At this time, only through her could he have the opportunity to indirectly mobilize the power of the city.
"But speaking of it, I suddenly wonder if this female noblewoman was arranged to come here from the beginning. What a coincidence, a coincidence in every sense of the word."
Colin was a little suspicious, but he couldn't think too much about it now, because no matter what, he really needed their help now.
But just as he was about to take action, he seemed to remember something, and turned to Tang Ken beside him: "I haven't asked yet, what did you bring in?"
Tang Ken was stunned, not expecting Colin to ask this suddenly. He thought for a while before answering: "Three days' worth of military dry food, as well as a multi-function shovel, a mini pistol, and more than a hundred rounds of ammunition.
“I originally planned to bring a mini Uzi, but it couldn’t fit in the space, so I didn’t bring it.”
After a pause, he continued to add: "I didn't know that I would stay here for so long. Otherwise, if I had known earlier, I would have brought more food. But if you eat sparingly, it won't be a big problem."
Yes, he is much more reliable than that guy Li Ming. Colin was not surprised that he could get a pistol. After all, this man was retired and had his own channels.
When Li Ming, the guy studying civil engineering, brought out a child's rifle without bringing anything else, he really didn't hold back.
However, something unexpected happened now, and there is no way to go back. Whether that guy can survive or not depends on his fate.
If you're lucky, try to see if you can pick up a mouse or something in the church and deal with it.
If not, I probably won’t starve to death in those seven days.
Even if he starved to death, he still had a life, so he didn't panic.
"By the way, how did you get caught by those people with a gun?" Colin noticed this.
If he had pulled out a gun, he would have been able to escape in all likelihood.
Some embarrassment appeared on Tang Ken's face: "In order to put things into the storage room, my pistol was taken apart. I planned to wait until I walked out of the crowd and then put it back together, but I was knocked unconscious before I walked out."
"Well, do it now. There should be all kinds of troubles next. Be prepared. Be mentally prepared to kill."
Although he knew that this man's hands should be stained with blood, Colin still warned him.
Seeing the other party nodding, Colin said nothing more and once again came to the city wall he had just climbed.
He glanced behind him before trying to climb the wall.
"I still don't feel the aura of 'lycanthropy' in these people. So, the 'book of numerology' mentioned a large-scale outbreak of 'lycanthropy'. Is it man-made or due to some other unknown reason?"
After a few seconds, Colin looked away, sighed, and planned not to think about this for the time being, and planned to go back to the other party to understand the situation first.
After easily climbing over the city wall, Colin took Duncan and quickly headed towards the inn where Helena was staying.
Compared with the small hotel they rented, the one in Helena was much more luxurious, and soldiers were arranged to protect him at night to ensure that no danger would happen to the noble.
"Stop! Who are you?!"
When Colin approached, someone immediately yelled.
There were also a few people showing up on the other side.
"It's me, go and inform Helena that I have something important to see her."
Colin walked slowly and decisively, without hiding his identity.
"You? Who are you? How dare you call a nobleman by his name? Do you think anyone as big as a nobleman can visit him? Especially now it's late at night!"
The guarding soldier frowned, suspecting someone with evil intentions. He slowly pulled out his long knife and wanted 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 Pastor today?"
"kindness."
Colin nodded and did not deny the identity assigned to him by the other party.
Anyway, it’s still the same sentence, everyone understands it.
Thunder Priest?
The soldier who wanted to draw his sword was startled, and then became frightened. He was worried that he would be resented by the other party. He wanted to explain something, but he was relieved when Colin waved his hand and said that he didn't need to care.
The class concept here is pretty serious, right?
Colin looked at his reaction and combined with his experience in the city today, he had some general understanding of the social model here.
Ten seconds later, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and the noble guard just came back:
"Your Excellency the Reverend, Miss Helena is already waiting for you upstairs. Please come with me."
After speaking, he began to lead the way ahead.
Colin followed and arrived at the third floor. In the large living room, Helena, a noble, was already sitting on a wooden chair waiting.
And her old housekeeper stood aside with a tired but energetic face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had obviously just woken up.
Pointing to the seat next to him, after Colin took his seat, Helena, still wearing a gray robe to hide her face, spoke:
"Sir, do you have anything to do with us at this time?"
Why does this tone sound a bit like getting up, but also, from their point of view, it is really annoying to get to a safe place only to be woken up in the middle of the rest.
Colin's thoughts passed by in a flash, and he said directly without arguing with the other party:
“I noticed that a disaster is about to happen, and not all people in this city may survive.
“If you don’t react, neither I nor you will.
"Everyone dies, without exception."
After the words fell, the whole room fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
