Latent Syndrome

Chapter 384 383. Gem

"There is no horror in the world that can surpass the indifference and cruelty of the frozen sun and the long days of mist and chaos."

In the dream, Colin's expression and posture were extremely terrifying.

Like a surgical expert, he tortured with artistic precision.

in the real world.

Only a second passed, but Zhuo Ya felt as if a century had passed. Her mouth and nose were bleeding, and her eyes were somewhat out of focus.

Originally, he wanted to negotiate with Colin at the cost of gems, but he didn't expect this person to be so violent and cruel. Now it seems that no matter what he chooses, he will not let anyone go.

Perhaps because of his deeper understanding of the Pope's hints, Colin gradually grasped people's emotions more accurately while listening to the empty murmurs in the karma fire.

More and more noises are coming. Everything is moving. In the medium of the world, there must be sound, and it is no longer through the eardrums.

Colin began to hear some extremely weak sounds, even the sound of whirlpools stirred by water, or the inaudible sound of cells beating.

Even fluctuations in the cerebral cortex.

Seeing that Zhuo Ya was about to be unable to hold on any longer, she still did not choose to let go, but this was meaningless as she was in a rage and on the verge of death.

In the stubborn desire to end all the mess.

Colin has mastered some weird mind-reading skills.

Even if Zhuo Ya doesn't speak, Colin knows what she is thinking in her mind. Only 30% of the expressiveness of words is content, and the remaining 70% is just emotion.

"I can hear."

"The sound of your cerebral cortex beating."

"This is your weakness, Zoya."

"There is no reason for you to persist like this. You must be protecting something."

"Is it the Bat Cave or the Rat Path? Your lair."

Colin has been wandering around the wasteland for the past year. In order to avoid nuclear radiation, all survivors live like bats or mice. In addition to military-level underground fortifications, the place hiding under the drilling mine is called the Batcave. The subway tunnels and sewer facilities buried deep underground are called rat lanes.

Zhuo Ya looked at Colin in disbelief.

Even though she said nothing, Colin knew what she wanted to say, based on the beating of his cerebral cortex.

"It seems to be an underground tunnel in the city."

"It should be a city near here."

"Easy to find."

Colin pondered for a while, and he had to leave immediately. He originally came here to find Opal and the others through the Salvation Army's intelligence network, but the person in charge had already escaped.

However, there was an unexpected discovery. From what Hoshino Manatsu said, that gem was extremely important and was the key to everything.

At that time, White even used the gem to find Opal in a refuge in the snowy mountains far outside the city, and also discovered himself.

That's why I had to kill him.

With this thing, I might be able to bypass all the troubles and reach the final goal.

Zhuo Ya lowered her head, not knowing how to face this incident. Will she still perish in the end? However, it was a very good ending after holding on for a while.

"Don't be so depressed."

"I won't kill you for the time being."

"But you will eventually die, and your friends in the camp will eventually die in extremely painful ways."

"You have to cooperate with me, that's all."

"Only in order to make everyone's death worthwhile."

Colin found the mountain bike specially used by the Salvation Army Rangers and prepared to rush to where Ruby was.

Although Hannah didn't know why Colin was so crazy about killing infected people, it was definitely not for some righteous cause, it was probably just to alleviate someone's illness.

"Then when are you going to kill me?"

Hannah asked abruptly.

Colin hesitated. He took Hannah with him because she had been a colleague of his father and had an in-depth understanding of SCT. This question somewhat knocked him down.

"No, you're fundamentally mistaken."

"It depends on whether you're still alive by then."

"Because if you are with me, you will die at any time."

Colin didn't want to say anything more. Nowadays, no one cares about pain, life or death, they just want an end.

Ordinary people who are still surviving, or low-level infected people who have been infected and are suffering and suffering from the disease.

Life is already more unbearable for them than death, but the fear of death is too terrifying. They cycle between the two sufferings repeatedly and dare not end it.

Only the person at the top must determine the outcome while he is still alive.

"If it comes to the end."

"You find that there is no way to eradicate latent disease in this world."

"What you're doing is pointless."

"And you have no one to kill. Everyone has died. Will you decide on your own?"

Hannah couldn't help but ask. Colin did say that he would commit suicide, but that was only after confirming that the abyssal disease would disappear after all infected people died.

If Colin was the only infected person left at that time, and everything he did was ineffective and hopeless, would he still persist?

“You’re really good at making assumptions.”

"But maybe the order is just wrong."

"Only after I die, I guess."

"Only can we determine whether the chaos has been eradicated."

Colin started the engine of the mountain bike and said casually.

"What a horrible person."

Hannah took Zoya with her, also got on a mountain bike, and followed Colin to see the so-called ruby. When Luca left the emerald behind, she asked a researcher to test it secretly, but That person died before he could give back any information, so he didn't act rashly.

It's so weird that there is such a gem. Maybe it's a pair.

Although Hannah just asked inadvertently.

But Colin suddenly thought of a situation, if the last infected person was Ingrid.

Do you want to end this too?

He couldn't help but think that the countdown to death had already begun.

…

…

…

Colin and his group entered the city's subway system, passed through the deep train passages, killed some blood beasts transformed from humans on the way, lit torches, and in complete darkness, at the end of a tunnel blocked by a landslide, they walked Then walk to the side and come to an extremely heavy iron gate.

This is Zoya's camp.

"Let me go talk to them."

Zhuo Ya spoke with difficulty, because Colin was completely able to break in directly, and people at this level didn't care about resistance at all.

Unexpectedly, Colin readily agreed. He didn't want to waste extra time. Even killing someone would take a lot of effort.

Looking at the outside scene from the internal monitoring room of the electrical and mechanical room, it was discovered that it was Zhuo Ya, but the strange thing was that the people beside her were not Sean, but two strangers. They did not open the door at the first time, but started to answer some secret codes.

Colin didn't want to make the process too lengthy. If there was any trick, it would take longer than killing someone.

"Stop saying code words, I don't have time to fool around."

"I can know what you are thinking, have you forgotten?"

"If you haven't finished all this in twenty seconds, I will kill everyone inside."

Colin puts pressure on Zoya.
