Chapter 69 The Key of the Colonizers

At this time, Fang Senyan and his companions were covered in sweat and blood, looking extremely disheveled. Fortunately, the people inside the base were accustomed to such sights, and the healing facilities of the Gates of Hell were quite complete, with a knack for handling injuries.

Except for Mogansha, who had been tortured severely and needed to spend more time and money on treatment, Fang Senyan and Jiao Shi simply took a shower, bandaged themselves up roughly, and felt refreshed. They went to the base's internal restaurant to order food, and within ten minutes or so, the black buddy arrived whistling.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and the weather was hot. Mogansha hadn't had Jiao Shi and Fang Senyan by his side earlier, and he was extremely nervous and insecure. Plus, he had fought with all his might and traveled at full speed, so he was incredibly thirsty. Seeing a glass of emerald green fresh juice in front of Fang Senyan, he grabbed it and drank it all.

By this time, the restaurant staff had started serving the three of them, with the usual fare of steak, sandwiches, and borscht. Fang Senyan devoured his food while sharing the RD company information he had obtained with Jiao Shi and Mogansha. After all, taking a closer look now could be considered sharpening the axe before chopping wood.

As the three sat in the air-conditioned restaurant, they saw several contract holders with missing limbs and covered in blood rushing back to the Gates of Hell in a state of exasperation. Many had suffered severe injuries with limb loss, and one person was charred like charcoal on the front, while the back was covered in layers of frost. It was a wonder how he had managed to survive until now, whether due to strong willpower or good luck.

As time passed, more surviving contract holders returned sporadically. In the end, even Zi of the Illuminati returned with a gloomy face, leading a group of people covered in dust. The one who looked in the worst condition was Akafile, who was being carried back unconscious and covered in blood. The climate here was originally tropical, but Akafile was coughing up gusts of cold air, and it seemed he had been continuously lingering in a near-death state.

"What's going on?" Fang Senyan asked curiously.

Mogansha thought for a moment and said:

"I heard that entering a near-death state multiple times in a short period will cause this. The effectiveness of drugs will become worse and worse, until they are ineffective. Akafile has been beaten back like this, which shows how fierce the battle is...."

".Eh! Yuan Zhan hasn't returned either. I don't know if he was directly dropped or used an item to forcibly give up all benefits and leave this world. It seems those guys have launched a targeted attack, focusing on dealing with summoners. Because summoners can often communicate with plants and animals, they are a great help in completing tasks on Pandora. If their hidden mission fails, these guys will also mess up our mission!"

At this time, Mogansha and Jiao Shi felt an increasing chill down their spines:

In the gambling match with those guys, Mogansha used 1v3 to firmly establish his golden reputation by using the names of others. Jiao Shi was also a mainstay in the team battle, roaring out the heart-wrenching cry that determined the victory.

Those colonizers were ultimately defeated, and the two of them could be said to have made great contributions. Now, Prince Stallo was leading his team, using any means necessary to ambush them outside, naturally for revenge. If Fang Senyan hadn't called them back in time, preemptively disrupting the opponent's ambush plan and forcing them to snipe hastily, the two of them would probably be corpses being whipped right now.

It is worth mentioning that these guys' attacks not only caused casualties, but also caused those who had snatched several first-class missions to shoot themselves in the foot. The missions received at the laboratory had time limits, and the penalties for failure were extremely severe...

Basically, failing one mission could mean giving up the competition! But now Prince Stallo's team was blocking the way outside, who would dare to go out?

As the saying goes, blessings bring misfortune, and those contract holders who had snatched multiple first-class missions could only cry in their hearts in the face of this situation. On the other hand, those who hadn't snatched first-class missions gloated. Therefore, despite some people shouting and organizing, saying they would kill those guys and show them some color, there seemed to be few respondents. Some people even said, "Why didn't you think about uniting when you were snatching first-class missions?" With this kind of mentality, the contract holders were also greatly divided internally, and it was obviously a waste of effort to mobilize everyone to kill their way out.

Fang Senyan didn't care about them at this time. When he killed three contract holders earlier, two of them dropped bloody keys. The archer regrettably didn't make any contribution to them. From this, it could basically be determined that the Crimson Card was indeed a very low-probability drop, otherwise Zeiss.Karl, who was also a colonizer, would still drop a bloody key.

Despite having a military rank mission to turn in the bloody key, after some discussion, Fang Senyan decided to use Zeiss.Karl's key to open it. After all, the key of a colonizer was no small matter. This guy's attack power was not only very strong, but his equipment must also be top-notch.

He defeated seven contract holders in a row that day based on real strength, and even Yao Meng, a core member of the Illuminati, was defeated by him. If it wasn't for Fang Senyan, who was playing the "support" role with ulterior motives, and Zeiss.Karl's situation being thoroughly understood beforehand, it would definitely not have been as easy to kill him as it seemed on the surface!

However, this time, the surprise that Zeiss.Karl's key brought them was much less. Jiao Shi usually didn't participate in this kind of thing, but today, for some reason, he was very interested in this lottery. The three of them discussed it and felt that it would be more worthwhile to draw equipment. As a result, Jiao Shi didn't miss, but unexpectedly pulled out an unexpected piece of equipment:

Birmingham "Stuka" Shuriken Pouch

World of Origin: The Exorcist

Place of Origin: Birmingham, England

Equipment Rarity: Black

Equipment Slot: Ranged Weapon Slot

Material: Nylon Fiber

Weight: 138 grams

Attack Power: 10 points fixed damage + the sum of the user's strength, agility, and stamina.

Equipment Usage Requirements: Strength must reach 17 points or more, agility 20 points or more, stamina 15 points or more

Equipment Usage Requirements: Basic Ranged Combat lv2

Durability: None

Equipment: Strength/Agility/+2

Equipment: Perception -3

Equipment Special Ability: This shuriken pouch has magical power. After the shurikens inside are used up, it can automatically replenish them at a rate of 2 minutes/per shuriken. The generated fletchette shurikens are randomly enchanted, and after hitting an enemy, they will cause negative effects such as slowing, weakening, burning, and bleeding. It can hold a maximum of four shurikens. You can also continuously consume universal points to shorten the replenishment speed of the shuriken pouch to 15 seconds/per shuriken.

Description: Shuriken Throw, aim at the enemy and throw the sharp fletchette shuriken to deal damage. Effective attack range is 3~33 meters. After the fletchette shuriken deals initial damage to the enemy, it will also deeply penetrate the enemy's body to cause long-term continuous damage.

Description: This equipment has a small probability of generating "rare" fletchette shurikens. These types of shurikens will have double damage and multiple stacking negative effects.

This equipment's combat power score: 21

Evaluation: If you like to use this equipment often, then I think you can consider trying to participate in the World Tour Championships of the Professional Darts Association when the time is right.

Because this equipment had to be equipped in the ranged weapon slot, Mogansha was the first to be eliminated. Fang Senyan, who also had ambitions, could only express regret. On the other hand, Jiao Shi's ranged weapon slot still only had a light blue pistol with +1 agility, which he almost never used. This thing happened to fill the regret of his lack of attack methods, so Jiao Shi took it.

Zeiss.Karl had never been seen using this thing in previous battles, because for him, who pursued speed and lethality, the act of stopping to throw a dart was both a waste of time and a waste of life. He pursued the need to end the battle in a short time, and he should have only been looking at the 4 points of basic stats it increased.

But for Jiao Shi, it was necessary to slowly grind down the enemy, lasting a long time……. And the fact that these shurikens could also be attached with various negative statuses was also valued by Jiao Shi. So, without a doubt, this thing was allocated to Jiao Shi.

Next, the three of them would certainly not leave the RD base. Instead, they visited various departments. It is worth mentioning that the three bundles of nerve connection bundles for the heavy armored horse that they had obtained earlier were very valuable. As expected, they were good things that were marked as valuables. They actually exchanged an extra 250 points of reputation per person when they took them to the research institute.

Because there were many luminous plants on Pandora, even at night, it was rare to see a situation where one couldn't see their fingers. Instead, at this time, the forests were shining brightly in some areas with lush vegetation, beautiful and magnificent, looking like a neon-lit city on earth.

Fang Senyan and his companions were walking through this dense forest at this time, hearing all kinds of fantastical insect noises in their ears and seeing bizarre and colorful scenes in their eyes. The visual impact it gave was more than ten times greater than during the day.

If the daytime Pandora was still seven or eight points similar to the tropical rainforests of Earth, then the night jungle was a completely different world. Fang Senyan suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes, saying:

"...Stop!! Yes, yes, the mottled fern that the mission requires us to dig up should be in front of us. Jiao Shi, pay attention, the operating manual provided in the information clearly states that this plant lives by the water, and its root system is very developed. You have to be careful not to break off too many roots, otherwise it will affect the mission evaluation."
