Everything went much smoother than Colin imagined. The thick iron gate in front of him slowly opened with a creaking sound. Colin guessed that this place had been some kind of power supply facility.
What surprised Colin was that there were very few people in the camp. Even in the largest electromechanical cabin, there were not many people, and they were all women.
Presumably Zhuo Ya had just informed the people inside of the situation through a secret code that she could not know. For example, if she set a specific sentence as an emergency, even if the words were the same, she could get different answers based on the tone of voice.
But Colin didn't care, he wasn't worried about being ambushed.
"alright."
"Take me to find the stone and give it to me. I won't hurt any of you here."
"You will all die in the end anyway."
Colin ordered.
This is exactly what Zhuo Ya thinks, because White once warned what it was. It was wrapped in several layers of cloth and had extremely evil power.
There are even weirder things than the Abyssal Syndrome that can take root in a person's body. Even White himself has been in trouble, giving him extremely powerful abilities while also depriving him of some things.
He tried many methods, but couldn't remove those weird lines from his body, until Arnold showed up and killed the damn thing with just one shot.
After that, White has been afraid and wanted to give up this gem. Using it can elevate his thinking to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. It is not an astrology magic trick, but a genuine one. It comes to his mind.
Whoever comes out will see their past, present, and future.
But because this power seems to transcend the universe, when the repeated time in the past and the long and long future fly back to the present world, a powerful force will cut it off, and you can only witness this moment.
Being too evil, White never touched the stone again, but if he abandoned it directly, it would be a rare treasure. White gave it to his friend Zoya for safekeeping, telling her that he would come to pick it up one day, and repeatedly
Don't use it, otherwise you will die immediately.
White still doesn't know why he has experienced so much bad luck. After returning to the surface after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, he has clearly paid all the prices suggested by the stars in advance, but his experience is extremely poor. The human world is over.
Sometimes he had to come up with a terrifying thought, because when he was visualizing this stone, he had already exhausted or even overdrawn all his future. It was only through the hints of the stars that he saved his life from the side effects of the stone.
.
If anyone else comes into contact with it and uses it, there is no doubt that they will die immediately.
Zoya expected Colin to die on the spot after using the gem.
After walking through some passages supported by steel frames inside the electrical and mechanical room, Zhuo Ya took Colin and the two of them to her room and opened the door.
The space of less than 20 square meters was extremely eerie. There were only a few punk band posters pasted outside an iron bed, and a bedside table with some paint peeling off.
Zhuo Ya placed the gem in the bedside table, opened the drawer, and took out a cloth ball that was thickly wrapped in several layers and became larger than a tennis ball. She took it out with one hand and handed it to Colin.
"This is it."
"You have to keep your promise."
Zhuo Ya said coldly, but her heart was pounding. She was really too worried about Colin changing his mind and killing everyone in the camp. The most terrifying thing was that if he discovered the fact hidden here and there were a large number of women hiding there, it would be very difficult.
It's hard to imagine what would happen.
The rule of thumb for survival in the apocalypse is that you have to assume that everyone else is a vicious psychopath, especially if contagious psychosis is rampant.
From the first moment when Colin killed Sean, Zoya became even more convinced of the fact that this man also had the extremely cruel ability to put others in dreams and carry out lengthy and cruel torture.
"You want to kill me with this stone, right?"
"I've heard it."
"Your cerebral cortex is trembling with fear and loathing."
Colin avoided the ruby in Zoya's hand, opened the wrapping cloth and glanced at the contents, but immediately covered it after seeing the red corner.
What surprised him was that the moment he opened the ruby, there seemed to be some wonderful connection with the other green gem he was carrying.
Hannah, who was standing aside, sneezed. Since Colin was about to die, there was always a corpse-like coldness around him, and the temperature dropped several degrees when standing next to him.
But just now, this phenomenon has become more obvious, and even infected people as strong as Hannah can't stand it.
Colin also discovered this situation. The green gem seemed to have turned into a piece of ice. Even through his clothes, the cold made his skin a little stiff.
Then the situation became worse and worse. When the cold reached a certain level, people could no longer feel the cold. When they jumped into the ice water that was tens of degrees below zero, they would only feel their whole body burning.
Extreme freezing is like fire. Flames can evaporate the human body, and extreme freezing is the same. It annihilates the skin in another extreme way, as if it is being roasted by fire.
Colin couldn't understand this phenomenon either. He saw that the entire room was centered on Colin, and frost began to condense on the ground and in the air.
Hannah exhaled, and the breath turned into hot white smoke from her mouth.
"Damn, what's going on?"
Hannah was a little surprised and quickly moved away from Colin.
Zhuo Ya didn't know much about this gem, and she only thought it was one of the side effects. She might succeed soon, and the thing in the gem would kill Colin.
Colin discovered that all this was related to the fact that he had just opened the corner of the ruby and that the two stones were really connected.
Acting on the devil's suggestion, Colin took out the emerald and continued to grow a chitinous shell to cover the completely exposed gem, trying to alleviate the freezing in this way.
However, it was completely useless. The coldness from the void, which exceeded absolute zero, directly froze the chitin shell and then broke apart on its own and fell to the ground.
When Colin saw this, he knew something unexpected had happened, and he didn't dare to waste any time. The sun's hint immediately came out, burning the emerald.
Don't let the temperature spread and focus on it accurately.
However, this was of no use. One of Colin's arms was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, unable to move at all.
Hannah Zoya also felt the extreme coldness and hurried away from Colin.
Looking at the emerald in Colin's hand, Zhuo Ya was shocked. It turned out that Colin really wasn't lying. He had something matching the ruby in his hand.
At the same time, misfortunes never come singly.
The cloth wrapped around the ruby instantly vaporized into slag, like a red-hot iron, but it released heat at a much higher temperature than the iron, roasting Colin's arm into charcoal in less than half a second.
Colin did not dare to hesitate and immediately paused time.
