Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Collecting Information, Starting Production

The system’s follow-up mission.

Seraphina Sullivan, Dustin Sullivan, Nicholas Jensen, and the others quickly exchanged a knowing glance, each seeing the gravity and understanding on the others’ faces.

Without a word, it was clear that everyone had received the follow-up mission issued by the system.

Dustin Sullivan was the first to break the silence, his voice low. "It seems the core crisis we’re about to face is ensuring this Fireseed Shelter isn’t destroyed in the ’Night Tide’."

His gaze swept over the sturdy metal walls and towering defensive structures around them, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of relief in his eyes.

Nicholas Jensen heard this and shrugged, a mix of confusion and nonchalance on his face.

He glanced around the Shelter, which was like a war fortress, especially recalling the twelve stone pillars outside that had annihilated the Night Bats in an instant.

His tone was rather optimistic. "I think this Fireseed Shelter is impregnable. With defenses this strong, it won’t be destroyed that easily, right? Isn’t the system making a mountain out of a molehill?"

He had yet to learn the more specific, more terrifying information about the "Night Tide" that Dustin Sullivan had obtained from his precognition item, so he didn’t fully grasp the severity of the mission.

Seraphina Sullivan mentally shook her head.

’Knowing the system’s usual tricks, it would never issue an easy mission.’

’Since it made "protecting the Shelter from destruction" the main follow-up quest and offered a reward on the level of a "Talent enhancement"...’

’...it means the danger of the coming "Night Tide" will be absolutely beyond imagination.’

’Enough to deal a devastating blow to this seemingly indestructible fortress.’

Dustin Sullivan had clearly thought of this as well.

He added grimly, "We can’t let our guard down. The system’s mission difficulty is often tied to its rewards. This ’chance for a Talent enhancement’ won’t be easy to get."

He looked at the bustling crowds and intricate passageways all around them.

He suggested, "Since we’re already inside, our top priority is to familiarize ourselves with the environment and gather more information about the Shelter’s defensive systems, resource stockpiles, and the specific threats the ’Night Tide’ might bring. We still have a few days to prepare, and we have to make full use of them."

Seraphina Sullivan readily agreed. "Okay, let’s split up to be more efficient. We’ll meet back here in three hours to share what we’ve found."

Dustin Sullivan nodded and immediately took a curious, wide-eyed Coco Sullivan with him, disappearing into the crowd and heading deeper into the Shelter to begin their reconnaissance.

Seeing this, Nicholas Jensen also subconsciously tried to slip away, muttering, "Well, I’ll go check things out over there..."

He was still talking as he backed away, but before he could finish, his back slammed squarely into a "wall of flesh."

At some point, Sean Chandler had silently blocked his retreat.

Seraphina Sullivan slowly turned around, watching him with an amused, unhurried expression, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Seraphina Sullivan’s voice was soft, but held an undeniable edge. "Hold on, our dear ’My Queen.’ In such a hurry... have you forgotten something?"

His dark history of being a "self-proclaimed queen" was brought up to his face, and Nicholas Jensen’s face instantly turned bright red.

He was so embarrassed his toes could have dug a hole in the floor, but he tried to play dumb. "Huh? F-forgotten what? Didn’t we agree to split up and gather intel?"

Seraphina Sullivan didn’t say a word, just slightly raised her chin and shot him a look.

Sean Chandler, receiving the command, wore a helpless expression on his simple, honest face, but his hands showed no hesitation.

He clamped a hand on Nicholas Jensen’s arm like an iron vice and half-led, half-dragged him toward a relatively secluded, empty corner nearby.
