Chapter 143: Before Dawn
Chapter 143: Before Dawn
“Why is the system suddenly spitting out messages like it’s on a spree?” Colin muttered to himself, but he didn’t ease his focus.
“Civilization Reforging Plan”
Quest Details: Reforge the light of civilization, starting with communication…
Quest Duration: No limit.
Quest Requirements: Collect ten parchments from other regions to enable information exchange between different areas. Each time a region is integrated, a reward will be issued.
Note: Multiple people can integrate the same region. Once integrated, all channels from the regions involved will connect together.
Quest Progress: Zero.
Quest Rewards: Level 1 custom design blueprint *1, Fog Points *1000, Hardened black bread *9…
“The system is really eager in this regard, willing to give out such good things as a ‘Level 1 Design Blueprint’ and 1000 Fog Points… if lucky, it’s almost like we won’t have to give anything in return…” Colin pondered.
Finding survivors from other regions was something he needed to do next; with “region integration,” it would become more convenient.“But the timing for restoring the regional channels is really inconvenient, right? Can’t it be restored now? That way, I wouldn’t have to expend energy spreading the news…” Colin complained, but before he could grumble further, a wave of intense fatigue hit him suddenly.
Only a few seconds remained…
The “exhaustion” state was becoming more and more evident.
“I need to pass on this information…”
Colin propped himself up from the bed, preparing to leave for the mine to inform Li Hang.
However, he suddenly realized he didn’t need to do that; there was a better way to convey the information…
Then, guided by an instinct that felt innate, Colin slightly closed his eyes. In the next second, he felt as though he had submerged into his mental world, which was enveloped in darkness, as if he were in a special dimension.
He could only sense his own existence.
However, after carefully perceiving, the outline of an island appeared in Colin’s mind, followed by some starlight-like “light points” gradually emerging above the island.
“These light points…”
Colin sensed that these “light points” were likely the loyal servants who had followed him for a long time, transformed into a devout belief after the appearance of the holy light. Now, he could convey the information directly and accurately through this mysterious connection.
Colin “looked” at these “light points” as they continuously sent out subtle ripples, as if they were calling out his name or entering a kind of fervor, simply murmuring…
When he felt the time was right, Colin organized the information he needed to pass on through this connection and instinctively “blew” it out.
Centered around him, a layer of special soft light rippled outward, like pushing ripples in calm water with his hand. Each “light point” touched by the ripples received the information he had compiled. Once received, this information could be directly understood…
However, the recipients of this information were limited to those on his island.
In the wider world… darkness enveloped everything.
“It’s the Lord! The voice of the Lord has appeared in my ears… like a ‘divine oracle’!”
“I heard it too! I heard it too!”
“What did he say?” one survivor quickly asked.
He knew that the “Lord” they referred to was Colin, not them.
“He told all survivors to immediately relay this information through the notes in ‘Gifts’…”
Upon hearing this, Li Hang quickly shouted, “Hurry up and do it! After dawn, we won’t be able to contact the outside world!”
The next time the “World Channel” opened would be seven days later; if they waited until then to notify everyone, there might be no one left alive.
…
Note: “Warning! A large number of unknown creatures may attack three days from now! Below is the information compiled by Mr. Colin… Please help to forward it…”
In one territory, a survivor receiving this “Gift” looked at the note and felt uneasy…
“Trouble in three days again?”
Only three days of rest, and now facing another big problem?
The system had just used a “Recovery Card” on him, restoring his two severed hands and his torn lower body, as well as those intestines that had fallen outside. Though his body was restored, the exhaustion of his mind remained, making recovery difficult… Especially since so many of his comrades had died in battle, he wanted to give them a proper burial. But…
There was no time left.
However, this time, the survivor did not feel discouraged; he simply looked at the bloody battlefield that hadn’t been cleaned up yet.
“I will survive for you.”
After saying this, the survivor was about to start preparing for himself. But then he stopped.
“Many people still don’t know about this information. I can take it slow; besides, after continuously battling two lord-level aberrations, everyone has reached their limit. It’s just right to let them rest a bit…”
With that thought, he immediately began using the “Gift” system to relay the information he had just obtained. He knew that the more people who were prepared, the more likely one of them would survive. If in the past he had wished for more people to die in the region…
Now… He just wanted to see more humans live.
…
“What? I thought we could finally gather together in three days. I was ready to drive a War Chariot to find you…”
“Is this game ever going to end? We just finished fighting and they drop another big questt, and now in three days, we have to deal with a bunch of trouble…”
“Colin is alive! That’s great!”
“I have a feeling this blessing was given to us by the boss. I remember vaguely seeing the boss… he was shouting… let there be light!”
“I saw it too…”
“The boss told you to hurry up and relay the information; don’t dawdle…”
At this moment, the “Gifts” in all survivors’ minds turned into an alternative “World Channel.” As long as they passed something like black bread, they could use a “listing” feature to exchange information with others. However, they couldn’t “post replies.”
But some remembered that the previous “Trading Market” had many “Gifts,” and the system would automatically distribute supplies to those in need. Now, it seemed that this was no longer the case. They weren’t particularly concerned about it.
As people began to spontaneously relay this information, more and more individuals learned about the events expected to happen in three days. This time, even without Colin’s involvement, the information was effectively disseminated.
Of course, this was also because the number of surviving humans was indeed dwindling… The humans who remained could only do so by sticking together; otherwise, survival would be impossible.
So if one person knew about this, the entire territory would know.
