Latent Syndrome

Chapter 432 431. Embers of Flame

The white paint painted on the cold deck of welded steel plates has partially begun to peel off over the long years. The entire huge iron ship is swaying with the wind and waves in the vast black Dead Sea.

Perhaps it was the final settlement of the nuclear haze. All the water vapor and ash gathered above the clouds created a strange scene in the extremely cold weather.

Heavy snow also began to fall on the sea.

Germann fired twice.

Colin, who fell into a trance, was hurriedly dragged aside by Violet and hid behind a container bunker. The advance guard was shot in the leg. At this moment, any ability was useless. Blood poured out, and he immediately hid on the other side. Behind the bunker.

"cheer up."

"Now is not the time for you to die."

Violet frowned. She didn't expect that the exquisite revolver that she used for decoration would now come in handy. She picked it up and checked the magazine. There were only five bullets in it, and one was empty to prevent misfire.

Colin vomited out a mouthful of blood. Under the erosion of the abyss, as the silver thread penetrated into the pupil of his eye, violent pain penetrated Colin's skull, and one eye was about to lose vision completely.

"With your awareness."

"I originally thought that this method was not necessary."

"But how will you know if you don't try?"

"No one here has to make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Including the two friends who descended from the stars, the chief has predicted everything."

"Colin, as long as you hold your hands, everyone can witness the end with their own eyes."

"This should have happened years ago."

"You have ten seconds."

Then Germann began to count the numbers without emotion.

Colin held on to his consciousness and stood up. Constrained by the abyss, the remaining eye could not see clearly, and his line of sight was blocked. The contaminated eye was full of strange abstract ripples and was blurry.

In Geman's cold counting voice.

He wanted to leave the bunker, but was held back by Violet.

"She's ready."

Violet's tone was equally cold.

The advance personnel behind the container on the other side also shook their heads at Colin.

"eight."

"seven."

Gehrman deliberately slowed down, just to put pressure on Colin.

Yes.

Eugene was right, this wasn't saving her.

Everyone is ready.

Everyone who suffers from a strange disease will have countless visions of death.

Just to welcome that day.

"six……"

"five……"

Germann signaled the SCT members holding Eugene hostage to be ready so that they could shoot immediately after the countdown.

Colin knew what to do.

In order to allow the remaining eye to focus without being affected by the other contaminated eye, in the physical state with all the hints and abilities removed.

Under Violet's stunned gaze, Colin took out the knife he used to open cans in this wasteland.

There was a click.

With the sharp tip of the knife, he pierced his own left eye, and blood flowed out. All the abstract ripples that blurred and disturbed his vision disappeared in an instant, leaving only a scarlet red.

He tore off a corner of his black sleeve and tied a strip of cloth around his completely blind left eye. The vision in the other eye became extremely clear.

Violet, who was in shock, had no time to stop her.

Colin had already walked out of the bunker. In the cold winter of snow and ashes, holding a submachine gun in his hand, the cloth wrapped around his eyes was soaked with blood, and he faced Geman.

"What a cruel person."

"In order to maintain concentration, you actually stabbed your corroded eyes blind."

Geman was not in a hurry to shoot. Although this negative alien space could swallow up all extraordinary things, it did not seem to be very effective for things beyond 3.

Just like the original manuscript, fortunately, that kind of thing was burned because it reached an important connection point where all things return.

Di Wei, the chain saw, and this person, although they are not visible on the surface, are very special links in the prophecy.

Only by escorting him to Turin without any resistance can this variable be truly eliminated.

"Put the gun down now."

"I will let this woman leave."

Since Colin was not as useful as Gehrman imagined, he had already informed all the SCT members on standby on the ship to gather on the deck. What followed was nothing unexpected. It couldn't even be called a battle, it was just a one-sided massacre.

Eugene's voice was hoarse and she spoke at the limit of her voice.

"Do it."

"Colin."

"I'm going to die anyway."

"Instead of becoming a monster."

"It's better to die happily like this."

Eugene didn't want it to end this way.

"Didn't you say that?"

"Are all people with a sense of mission stupid?"

Colin said calmly.

"That's what I said..."

"you do not know……"

"Am I the one who likes to talk sarcastically, uncle?"

A bitter smile appeared on Eugene's face. Colin was a man of general knowledge and he knew what to do.

The strip of cloth wrapped around Colin's eyes was still bleeding.

"More than one person has asked me to do this."

"Let everyone die worthy."

"Eugene."

"I'll do that."

Colin said this.

Although he didn't know if this was just another lie being repeated.

He just knows.

Next, he will try his best to eradicate the chaos at any cost.

Even if it means...

Push everyone into the abyss.

It seemed that her inner self, which had been fighting fiercely against terror and chaos, calmed down and became extremely lazy. The black crystals on Eugene's face began to swallow her up quickly.

A smile appeared on the freckled face.

"I don't regret meeting you, Colin."

Say it.

In order to snatch the gun from the SCT member who controlled her, Eugene bit his arm hard with his teeth. The man was a little weak from the pain, and Eugene grabbed the gun with his only remaining hand.

As a last resort.

boom!

The sound of gunfire echoed in the cold, empty ocean.

The bullet passed through Eugene's head from the side, and then she fell to the cold deck, the wound on her head flowing into a pool of blood.

Lost all vital signs.

The crystallized and mutilated body that was eaten back by the vision.

These are all proofs that she has fought against SCT.

Snow and ashes drifted.

Colin expressionlessly picked up the submachine gun and fired forward, instantly blowing off the SCT member's head, and then shot at Geman.

His alien space can negatively swallow all extraordinary powers, including himself, which means that he is just an ordinary person.

However, the bullet had no effect on him. Instead, it made a clanging sound of gold and iron, scratched out sparks, and beat the officer to pieces.

It was revealed that what was covered under the clothes was a mechanical body modified by the SCT Research Institute. Even if Colin hit his head, it only scraped away the flesh adhering to it, revealing a ghastly metal skeleton.

"Why……"

"That's true of every one of you."

"Obsessive."

Geman's mechanical body creaked, and a steel blade popped out from the side of his left arm. He fired at Colin carelessly. The mechanically calibrated body used an incomparable standard running posture to shoot the blade that shone with the luster of death. Drag out a stream of light and kill Colin.
