latent syndrome.

Chapter 249 248. The Dead
In the light-polluted night sky of Liberty City, no stars can be seen.

During the blackout, despite the large population in the city, due to the special period, it was like a dead city, dead silent like the edge of another world, only buildings with emergency power supply equipment emitting scattered lights.

"It actually let that person run away."

"I asked the people in the fourth department to order them to support you before you found him."

"It's weird..."

"Are you listening to me?"

"Agent Colin...Colin...K?"

Above an overpass, the surrounding area was filled with darkness, and the light was extremely weak.

The liaison officer of the first department saw that Ke Lin was in a trance. He seemed to be very cold, his whole body was shaking non-stop, and he did not have the blood color of ordinary people at all.

The liaison officer lifted up Colin's sleeves and frowned. Colin's symptoms had deteriorated to a serious level, and he was slowly getting out of control.

The ringworm on his arm completely spread over the entire forearm, and part of it even climbed up the back of his hand. On the bright red section, it was also covered with a layer of unknown hoarfrost.

The reason why Colin felt cold was caused by this thing.

However, the liaison officer didn't feel the slightest abnormality. He didn't feel the temperature drop. Maybe it was just Colin's psychological effect, which was a kind of mental freezing.

The liaison officer subconsciously stayed away from him. This kind of character cannot be detained and waited for to fend for itself like low-level infected people. The consequences of their madness will be disastrous.

The liaison officer took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. The task assigned to him by the first department was too difficult.

He didn't know where to start. The impact of this incident was too far-reaching, but there was no way to hold Colin accountable. If he offended such a person and changed his position, the situation would be even more dangerous.

"Although it's only a matter of time before that day comes."

"But you made it earlier."

"We're not quite ready yet."

Even the liaison officer knew in his heart that this was deceiving himself and others. He was not fully prepared at all and was just lingering, because it was impossible to accurately wipe out all the newly infected people.

Everyone is too weak, still immersed in the fantasy dream of civilization, perhaps rather than facing their fear, they choose to drown in this woven dream until it completely collapses.

Seeing that Colin still didn't move, he just hugged his arms and rubbed his arms to keep warm. Even though he was covered with a thick layer of cashmere clothes, he still felt extremely cold.

"Your former partner."

"Violet..."

"Now the first department puts all its hopes on her, and sends a few powerful people to search for the so-called original book together."

"It seems to have achieved some results."

"But... personally, I think it's unrealistic and far-fetched."

"Only by eradicating the real threat can we return to the peaceful days of the past, and we should not rely on some illusory things."

The liaison officer saw that Ke Lin was not listening to him at all, so he poured out bitterness and complained to himself.

Unexpectedly, Colin replied.

"time……"

"It won't flow back."

"There's no going back to the old days."

he murmured.

After listening to the liaison officer, he calmed down a little. The infected person went completely crazy or died violently, often because his belief was completely destroyed by the abyss. Although Colin's situation is not optimistic, he should be able to survive for a while, at least he can still recall Follow the past.

"Have you brought your communication terminal with you?"

Ke Lin let out a long breath. Although his knuckles were still shaking stiffly, his body had gradually calmed down, and he looked at the liaison officer calmly.

The liaison officer felt a little flustered inexplicably.

"Of course, why ask this?"

He was a little puzzled.

"It's just that I've been... very vigilant recently. I have something to tell you. I must fully confirm your identity. Show it to me."

"If it's just paper documents..."

"Today's counterfeiting technology is too sophisticated."

Colin spoke without any emotion mixed in, not the so-called indifference, but a robot-like, reading according to the script.

"no problem."

The liaison officer handed the terminal to Colin. Colin just turned on the screen and glanced at it casually, then held it tightly in his hand, stopped looking at it, and continued to stare at the liaison person coldly.

The top person in charge of the fourth section, Harris.

He should have killed McConaughey.

It's fate.

Fate sent himself to kill the top cadre of the SCT, but Harris stopped him.

This person has a problem.

Ke Lin had heard some rumors that the person in charge of the Third Section of the Military Department had been affected in some way because of his direct contact with the vice-chairman of the SCT summit, which might have involved a lot of people.

McConaughey has been in Liberty City for at least half a year.

But the man did nothing.

Compared to Gray.

This person is a complete idiot.

Is that so?
It is impossible for an idiot to be the head of a department.

And it has been some time since I came from Liberty City, and Harris has never taken himself to the headquarters of the Fourth Division, or any stronghold, as if he was guarding against himself.

"Did anyone else come over for the first section?"

"Or it's just you."

Colin asked too straightforward a question.

The liaison realized what was wrong, and Colin's position was always questionable, even though he had killed so many people in the SCT.

Strictly speaking, it is not against the SCT, but a friend of the countermeasures. Some people only fight for themselves, which is also a dangerous factor.

Colin has a record of defecting from Division [-]. Compared with the detectives of Section [-], he is more like a temporary employee. Although he is provided with the same treatment, he never shared the intelligence network with him.

"There are two companions."

"I made an appointment, and I will go to them after the processing here is over."

"Why do you care about this?"

The liaison officer felt that something was wrong and lied that there was no one else but him.

"Is it."

There was a loud click.

Colin squeezed the terminal in his hand into a ball of rotten iron and threw it on the ground.

damn...

The liaison officer cursed secretly.

"I can capture people's emotions..."

"Are you lying?"

"You are lying to me."

It was also because of this that Colin knew that there was no lie in what White said.

Colin experienced an ominous premonition. Those remnants of the stormtroopers, those madmen, were like a never-ending nightmare.

Their will, their slogan.

Even though it is evil, ignorant, and ridiculous, it has reached a level of...extraordinary.

Everything is already crazy, just, is it possible to be crazy enough to be right.

"Next..."

"Every word you say must be carefully considered."

"Because I might kill you."

"I want to know everything."

"Where is the highest command of the countermeasure bureau?"

"as well as……"

"The lair of the SCT."

Colin suddenly started to tremble a little while speaking, it was so cold, as if he was in the polar region, he could feel that he was going to die.

It was too late, and what I did accelerated the deterioration of all infected personnel.

Only by eradicating the root of everything.

This must be done.
