Chapter 84 Dark City
"Clang clang clang..."
There was a regular sound coming from under the train floor. Colin took out his cell phone and checked the time - ten o'clock in the morning.
Almost six hours had passed since the last stop.
"This doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon."
Colin glanced out the window and saw no sign of slowing down. He had originally thought that the train stopped regularly every four or five hours.
But now it seems that the probability is random...
Staying in the small carriage, with the train nowhere to be seen, Colin's mind couldn't help but become a little vague.
He was somewhat curious about who built this train. Was it also made by someone in the Bonfire Company? Or was it from an extraterrestrial civilization?
What is the purpose of its existence? Is it just to pass through various extremely dangerous places?
Also, if he uses "Time Stasis" now, what will happen to this train?
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, but Colin didn't necessarily want to get an answer, he just thought about it simply.
Behind him, the group of people were relatively well behaved, except for the student with a broken hand who groaned in pain from time to time.
When his hand was cut off at first, he didn't feel much. It was only after a while that he gradually felt the pain from the severed part.
But what surprised Colin was that this guy didn't complain too much except for occasionally cursing to vent his emotions.
"It's a pity that the hand was taken away by the monster, otherwise I might have asked him to try the 'Mark of Gluttony' to see if he could directly connect the severed limb..."
Colin is not very familiar with the props he has, and if he has the chance, he will definitely try to learn more.
But now, the palm was gone, the bleeding had stopped, and all that mattered was that his life was saved. He was not his employee, so Colin had no intention of helping him further.
Shaking his head, he collected his thoughts, leaned back, closed his eyes, and fell into a doze.
I don't know how long it has been...
With his eyes closed, Colin keenly noticed that the intervals between the "clang" sounds of the train had lengthened a little, which seemed to indicate that the speed of the train was slowing down.
"Another stop?"
Colin opened his eyes, straightened up, listened carefully, and confirmed that the train was indeed slowing down.
At this moment, the time on the phone showed that it was eleven fifty-three.
At this time, Colin heard footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw "Brother Xiao" from the group of people behind him walking towards him with uneasiness.
Tang Xiao looked at the man holding a kitchen knife and wearing a nine-tube mask with a nervous look. If he remembered correctly, this person was probably not a human, but appeared inexplicably.
"What's up?"
Seeing Colin's gaze, Tang Xiao trembled, then suppressed his anxiety and said, "Can I get off the car later?"
He now probably guessed that this guy in front of him, who looked to be the same age as him, was probably a special member who specialized in dealing with some supernatural matters.
The only way to survive next is to rely on each other.
Considering what had just happened, he no longer dared to rely on luck and act on his own initiative as he did just now.
"I'm not sure. Let's wait and see. Go back to your seat first. "
Colin shook his head and didn't give any immediate advice. He was not sure whether the next place the train would stop was safe.
After people returned to their seats, a while later, the train whistled again, indicating that it was about to arrive at the station.
The white mist outside the car window quickly receded...
This time, the train seemed to have come to a road with rows of bright incandescent street lights on both sides.
As the white fog receded, the outline of a city with tall buildings soon appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing the modern city outside the car window, the people at the back were obviously much more excited - this time it was a real city, there couldn't be anything going on, right?
However, before they could be happy, Colin poured a bucket of cold water on them.
“Don’t get out of the car .”
After a pause, Colin added with great uneasiness in his heart: "Check the time on your mobile phones, and then look out the window carefully."
Hearing this, several people were stunned at first, took out their mobile phones to check the time, then glanced at the dark city outside the window, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in their hearts.
At this moment...
Noon, 12:08:57.
The night still dominates the earth, and the dim and weak starlight can barely outline the contours of the city, making those skyscrapers that once stood tall and majestic look like silent and helpless giants.
Colin sat in the car, looking out the window at the deserted dark city. He felt his scalp tingling, and his body and mind were gradually enveloped by an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
"What the hell is this place? I was frightened to the point of shrinking into a ball because of the 'beastiality' in my body!"
Colin was extremely frightened. He felt that the aura of "beastiality" in his body was shrinking and conveying a trembling feeling of extreme panic.
This is the first time this situation has happened!
Even when I was facing the "hunger" with eighteen arms like a Buddha statue, this kind of thing didn't happen.
But now, even though Kelin hadn't touched anything yet, he couldn't help but tremble all over...
This is enough to show that the horror that exists in this damn place now far exceeds everything encountered in World No. 13!
Amid the growing panic , Colin's mind was rusting and difficult to function. He vaguely felt as if there were some invisible sticky tentacles sliding on his skin. His limbs were unable to move as if they were stuck in a swamp. The despairing suffocation slowly seeped into his body through his pores.
His whole body couldn't stop shaking, and he couldn't get air into his chest or breathe, as if his neck was being strangled.
But at this moment...
A contradictory smell of warmth and burning heat emerged from the pocket on one side of the windbreaker.
When it appears, the fear in the body is quickly soothed.
"Retrograde?"
Colin shook off his fear, ignoring the chill brought by the cold sweat, and took out the thing that brought him warmth. He found that it was the orange-plated revolver that had not performed well so far.
For some reason, it was heating up at this moment, and the heat it conveyed was like a raging fire, quickly rushing into his body, bringing an unusual sense of comfort while burning away the inexplicably intense fear that was almost tangible.
"Now there is a sign of 'orange equipment'."
Colin took a deep breath, grabbed the revolver, raised his right hand, wiped the sweat from his neck with the sleeve, and felt much better.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked behind him, and found that although those people also looked scared, their reactions were still within the normal range.
"It's unscientific. I was scared to death and almost lost my mind. How can they be fine?"
Colin thought for a moment and quickly guessed that this thing seemed to be aimed at people with certain extraordinary abilities?
But speaking of it, what is this city?
Colin always felt that the outline of this city looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember the details for a while.
At this moment, the train, which had been running for nearly eight hours, stopped.
But this time, the door only opened symbolically , and before it was open for more than a second, it closed with a click, and then the train started again.
