Global Fog Survival

Chapter 109: Extraction

“Oh, and there’s something else. It’s not like we haven’t had any contact with the ‘Great Miracles’. I remember someone from a certain region said they saw the Thirteenth Miracle, ‘The Ashes and Silver Shadow,’ before its destruction.” In Russell’s description, this was a massive silver figure walking through the ashes, towering like a mountain and considered almost ‘divine.’

After encountering it, all life in that region, including mutated creatures, even lord-level mutated creatures, turned to ashes.

“When someone went to investigate later, the entire region was nothing but ashes, and they couldn’t find anything, so we don’t know much about it.”

“Next is the ‘Minor Miracles.’”

“The ‘lord-level mutants’ you see now are incarnations of the ‘Minor Miracles’. They are exceedingly numerous and the information about them is fragmented, so I haven’t remembered much.”

“The strength of the ‘Great Miracles’ is unclear, but the strength of the ‘Minor Miracles’ can sometimes be quite apparent, and they are varied in nature.”

In this regard, even without further explanation, Colin knew a lot. The most terrifying ‘Minor Miracle’ he had encountered so far should be the Kimino, a gigantic olive tree that expanded into a cave. Without taking shortcuts, it would have been impossible to defeat.

“Besides that, the Church of Suffering also has a category known as ‘Saints’. Their position in the church is only second to the ‘Pope’, and they can be seen as potential candidates for the Pope.”

“Most of the Saints’ powers are related to the ‘Great Miracles’. They are a connecting tier above the lord-level but below the ‘Great Miracles’ and above the ‘Minor Miracles’.”

“In the last generation of Saints, there was a particularly unique one called the ‘Saint of Light’. His power seemed to have little to do with ‘Suffering’.”

“Later on, many followers of the Church of Suffering supported him, even threatening the current Pope’s authority, so he was ‘hunted down’ and dealt with by others.”

“Of course, he was also the most mysterious one, and no one knows where he ended up.”

I killed him. Colin thought to himself with a peculiar feeling. As he listened to Russell recounting what he knew, Colin saw his “quest progress” reach 2%. The “shocking change” was also noticed by other survivors, sparking a frenzy of discussion in the channels.

But Colin wasn’t interested in that. He was immersed in the joy of obtaining free historical knowledge.

Occasionally exchanging a few words with Russell, he eventually reached 3% in his personal history progress. The total investigation progress reached 4%! Soon, most of the historical knowledge from Russell was extracted by Colin.

“Oh, I forgot, there’s one more thing, concerning the servants.”

What now?! Colin’s blood pressure spiked, and he said weakly, “What’s the matter now?”

Russell looked at the servants eyeing him: “It’s nothing major. Mainly, I wanted to mention that in our generation, servants were like puppets who could only follow orders and had no emotions. Also, our servants couldn’t level up, but yours are different.”

“I’m not trying to sow discord, just a reminder. Compared to our batch, your servants have a high learning limit, are stronger, and are very loyal to you. The exact reason is unclear, and it might be a characteristic of your group of survivors. Don’t worry about it.”

[You realize that the changes in servants seem to be developing in a positive direction.]

A positive direction. Colin nodded, keeping a slight watchfulness, and responded, “I’ll keep that in mind.”

After a few hours of dense information, his brain felt like it was almost shrinking. Soon, the two returned to the round table.

“Boss, what did you guys talk about? Can you share?” Li Chou asked curiously, and a few other survivors nearby were equally inquisitive.

Because they had just noticed the explosive increase in the all-survivor investigation task.

It was obvious that this situation was closely related to Colin and Russell’s conversation.

Facing their inquiries, Colin thought for a moment and shook his head, “I’ll tell it later. Many of the details are dangerous, and I need to organize them properly before I can share them.”

“Alright.” They sat back down, a bit disappointed.

Then Colin turned to Russell, who had untied his ropes and was sitting opposite him:

“You said your Level 5 underground fortress has been modified for portability. Can it be taken away later?”

“Sure, but even after modification, moving it, even by a meter, requires ten thousand Fog Points for the moving fee.”

“Ten thousand? Why not just rob it!” Li Chou and the others exclaimed.

“Well, you’d have to ask the system. Maybe it thinks this method is much faster than robbing,” Russell shrugged.

Colin thought for a moment and asked, “If I tear up the entire floor and take it along with the floor, can I do that?”

He couldn’t afford that many Fog Points right now, but he had plenty of explosives.

[You realize that your plan won’t succeed; when you tear up the floor, it will remain suspended in place.]

Before Russell could answer, the hint had already given him a negative response. When Russell did answer, the response was similar.

“What a pity.”

Colin shook his head. “But don’t be discouraged. Tomorrow, we’ll have the money.”

The value of this manhole cover, no, this Level 5 underground fortress was significant; it could withstand a direct impact from a lord-level mutant.

Even if faced with a lord-level mutant with no way out, jumping into the manhole cover would allow for a quick escape.

So if he could take it, he would.

Even if it required some cost.

“Oh, right. Tomorrow, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Li Chou also suddenly understood.

Tomorrow, the boss will be doing something good again.

And doing good would bring money.

“Tomorrow? With your current state, where will you get the money?” Russell, enjoying the beauty’s massage, asked curiously.

In his view, Colin’s group of survivors could be simply summed up with the word “poor.”

Oh right, and also “miserable.”

Without answering this question, Colin pondered and asked:

“Forget about that. You said the entrance ‘style’ can be changed. Can it be modified to a larger one, big enough to fit a war chariot?”

If it could be changed to that.

Then.

“Yes, it can be done, but it will cost, roughly around ten to twenty thousand.”

So expensive. Can’t it be expanded with explosives?

Colin had a headache and abandoned that line of thought since doing good might not earn that much money.

He also had significant expenses in other areas.

Never mind, just moving it will suffice for now. The rest can be discussed later, and I currently can’t even find a war chariot.

Colin silently decided on this matter.

Next was how to resolve the collapse of the “Special Talent Summoning Card.”

After a bit of thought, Colin came up with some ideas to try.
