Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Making Amends, Pigeon Eggs

Tears welled up in Freya Lynn’s eyes again.

Seraphina Sullivan couldn’t help but frown.

She understood what Jasper Drake meant. Maintaining order sometimes required being firm.

Just as the atmosphere turned stagnant, Jasper Drake’s voice rang out again, bringing a glimmer of hope:

"However, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Right now, there is a way for you to atone for your mistake."

"What is it?"

Crystal Lynn immediately raised her head, hope rekindling in her eyes.

Seraphina Sullivan also looked over curiously.

Jasper Drake didn’t keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"I’m sure you’ve all heard about the situation in Kaelen. The monster that destroyed a safe zone is a grave concern for everyone."

"The safe zone is about to officially recruit Players to form an expeditionary force and take the offensive. We aim to eliminate it before it can cause any more destruction. As long as you volunteer for this expedition, your transgression will be completely wiped clean."

It was a dangerous mission, but it was also her only chance.

Crystal Lynn barely hesitated. She had to grasp this lifeline—for herself, and so her sister could continue to live in the safe zone.

"I accept the recruitment!" she answered at once.

Jasper Drake nodded, unsurprised by the outcome.

He seemed to be a busy man. Having achieved his objective, he didn’t linger, turning and leaving with crisp efficiency.

However, as he passed the doorway, his steps faltered almost imperceptibly.

His gaze swept over Seraphina Sullivan and the silent Sean Chandler by her side. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and left without another word.

After he left, the tension in the room eased considerably.

Dexter Luther sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, his tone heavy with exhaustion.

"Sigh... It’s just one thing after another. This damned extreme cold disaster is enough of a headache. We fight for our lives in the instances, and when we finally make it back to reality hoping to catch a breath, we run into this kind of frustrating mess..."

Dexter Luther’s words resonated with the other Players in the room.

Everyone wore helpless expressions. Survival in the face of this disaster had never been easy.

Dexter Luther composed himself and looked to Seraphina Sullivan, asking, "Sullivan, what are your thoughts on this recruitment to hunt the monster?"

Seraphina Sullivan’s mind raced, but her expression remained impassive as she shook her head.

"The specific details aren’t clear yet, so I can’t say for sure. But since this concerns the safety of the entire safe zone, I’ll naturally do my part if it’s within my ability."

’My persona as a kind and helpful Player who supports others can’t fall apart.’

Dexter Luther looked relieved to hear that. "It’s great that you think that way, Sullivan. Your skill with rapid suturing and staunching bleeding alone could save countless lives on the battlefield. If you’re there, I’ll feel a lot more secure."

Seraphina Sullivan simply smiled in response.

...

For the time being, the matter was settled.

Seraphina Sullivan returned to the relatively quiet RV area with the Lynn sisters.

The safe zone soon issued a notice regarding the decision on how to handle Crystal Lynn.

When the residents who had been pointing fingers at Crystal Lynn heard she was being conscripted to fight the terrifying monster that had destroyed the Kaelen safe zone, most of them fell silent. Some even began to show a little sympathy.

The extreme cold outside was already a life-or-death trial for them, to say nothing of facing a monster that could obliterate an entire safe zone.

It was practically a suicide mission.
