Chapter 62 -62: Quick with the Gun within 7 Steps!_1

“Ah!!!”

Sharp screams emanated from various parts of the refugee crowd, quickly spreading unrest.

Colin squinted, gazing ahead, and within a few seconds, he identified dozens of early-stage Beast Transformation Syndrome patients.

“That was close, the large-scale outbreak mentioned in the foresight was halted, only a few dozen.”

He sighed with relief internally, if this had been a large-scale outbreak of Beast Transformation Syndrome, then all he could have done was run away.

After all, facing several hundred or even thousands of those afflicted wasn’t a joke.

But now, the problem wasn’t significant.

Colin gathered his thoughts, clutching the “Contrarian Revolver” as he rushed toward the chaos closest to him, and decisively shot a bullet through the head of the target.

Before Colin pulled the trigger, the targeted individual showed an obvious attempt to dodge.

Clearly, his arrival had triggered its passive skill.

Unfortunately for it, within seven steps, the gun was faster, not only fast but also precise!

Even if it sensed the deadly threat in advance, it was useless.

“It seems that the Beast Transformation Syndrome caused by that thing in the church, even at First Order, indeed has ‘Deadly Insight’ passive, but there should not be many who can sense danger more than two seconds in advance.”

“Otherwise, even if I had opened fire, it would have taken at least two or even three bullets to get the job done.”

While Colin was speculating in his mind, his hands were not idle, his arm rotated, aiming at a figure not far outside with bloodshot eyes.

With a bang.

The muzzle flashed, a bullet, triggered by the firing pin and the primer, passed through the air in an instant under the massive force of the exploding gunpowder, snatching away an enemy’s life.

As Colin withdrew his hand, he saw someone, perhaps a relative or friend, holding the corpse of the Beast Transformation Syndrome patient he had just killed and weeping bitterly.

The onset of this disease was definitely a huge blow to loved ones, and sadly, without intervention from Bonfire Company, he had no means to cure them; the only thing he could do to manage the situation was to carry out the executions.

Pressing his lips together, Colin looked away, heading toward the next target.

His silhouette moved, weaving quickly through the crowd, precisely harvesting those with the incurable Beast Transformation Syndrome.

With the cooperation of several hundred soldiers, the disorder was resolved within half an hour.

Seeing this, Colin also let out a sigh of relief.

Then he watched the throng of people before him, once again using the “Ring of Flame Dominance” with a divine disposition, enduring the torment of the flames to soothe the refugees’ emotions.

Afterwards, seeing that the outbreak was essentially suppressed, Colin left Tang Ken to lead a few hundred soldiers to guard the refugees, and he quickly headed into the city.

At that moment, significant chaos was also evident in various parts of the city.

Colin took a sniff, the various scents entering his nostrils quickly gave him a vague full-area perception of the large region he was in.

Within a radius of one thousand meters centered on him, at least the scent of a dozen people infected with Beast Transformation Syndrome wafted over.

However, the vast majority were being dealt with by Black Stone City soldiers.

“Compared to the situation foreseen yesterday, it seems much better.”

If left unattended, allowing hunger to spread unchecked, then the current number would certainly increase at least tenfold, not to mention the bare minimum of ten thousand patients outside of Black Stone City.

No wonder the higher-ups mentioned that the entire town would be basically wiped out on the first day…

Taking a deep breath to focus, and after quickly discerning the scents in the air, Colin hurriedly made his way toward a certain direction in Black Stone City.

If he wasn’t mistaken, there was a Second Order Beastification syndrome active in that direction.

A few minutes later, when he arrived, he saw that several soldiers and civilians had been torn apart, their crimson intestines and other organs scattered all over the place, blood clotting into jelly-like chunks on the ground, a strong stench of blood rushing through the air.

Among the limbs and broken bodies, a half-man-half-wolf Beast Transformation Syndrome sufferer with long fur all over its body was crouching on a corpse, gnawing and biting at the richest nutritive organs.

It looked completely non-human, with only a blood-stained, tattered piece of clothing hanging on its body indicating its former human identity.

When Colin arrived, the sufferer, which was swallowing its food like a beast, seemed to sense something, suddenly jumped to the side, leaving the bullets to ring out and spark where it had just been.

“Its keenness is quite high, and the ‘Deadly Insight’ effect is much stronger than at the first stage.”

This was Colin’s first time seeing a Second Order “Beastification” victim’s appearance, and after a simple observation, he noticed it seemed to have quite the gap compared to himself.

The most direct and obvious difference was its size; it was too small, almost the same as an ordinary person, appearing weak and emaciated, like a roadside stray dog with its ribs exposed due to starvation.

However, because it had already eaten quite a bit, its belly was actually bulging, as if it had reaped a substantial haul.

At that moment, after observing for a short while, the Second Order “Beastification” sufferer seemed to deem Colin not much of a threat and brazenly launched an attack on him.

And then there was no after…

Colin took advantage of its approach, directly used Time Stop, and as the roaring sound echoed and everything came to a halt, he pulled out a bone spur full of fine cracks and stabbed it downward toward its vertical pupil.

When the Time Stop Effect ended along with the ticking sound, the Second Order Beast Transformation Syndrome sufferer, clutching its brain, rolled on the ground, howling in agony, and soon swelled up all over, secreting filthy black fluid before it died.

“This thing’s effect is really… no matter how many times I see it, it always feels frightening.”

Colin watched the Beast Transformation Syndrome victim gradually stop moving, stepped forward, pulled the bone spur out of its eye, shook off the blood, and stored it in the “Storage Room.”

At that moment, the Second Order Beast Transformation Syndrome on the ground began to disintegrate and melt, turning into a pool of dark red liquid mixed with black water.

Seeing this liquid, a strong desire to feed surged within Colin.

“Hiss, hold back, can’t eat it!”

Colin bit his tongue, forced himself to shift his attention; those things on the ground, even without the mixed black water, there was a high probability that his Beast Transformation Syndrome would lose control if he consumed them, let alone a mixture with an unknown muddy liquid.

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, a task prompt suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Event 24: Collect an unlimited quantity of “Beast Transformation” transmutation liquid.]

[Remark: Each individual is considered one standard volume; rewards will be calculated based on the amount collected once the task is complete and returned.]

[Submit now?]

Bonfire Company still has a use for this stuff, eh? Who knows what they’ll collect it for, to use in some sort of equipment or something? But, this is free rewards we’re talking about, there’s no reason to pass it up.

Without a second thought, Colin immediately chose “Yes”.

Instantly, a transparent vortex appeared, sucked up all the liquid from the ground, leaving it spotlessly clean without a single trace of a wet spot.
