Chapter 863

After walking for I don't know how long, Christina's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The earth ahead was completely frozen, without any trace of snow, and the ice surface emitted a shocking blue light.

A thin mist floated in the air. In the mist, there seemed to be traces of coniferous forests on both sides of the earth, but their trunks were already bent, and there was no sign of gods.

Except for the ice surface connecting the sky and the firmament above, everything else was immersed in a gray world.

But for Christina, these colors were enough.

She saw colors other than gray, white, and black again!

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and its whistling was mixed with bird calls.

Christina looked up in surprise and saw a bird flying out of the snowfield and sweeping toward the ice field.

There are animals in the wilderness… She just had such a thought, and the next moment, her pupils expanded sharply.

The bird's left wing was strangely translucent, this phenomenon quickly spread to its whole body, and then it stood still in mid-air like this.

Then, the sound of glass breaking came, first once, twice, then connected into a piece, like an avalanche.

Christina saw unstable ripples appear in the mid-air of the ice field, the ground shook, cracked, and finally collapsed, and the trees around began to twist and deform.

Run!

Run quickly!

She didn't hesitate at all, and started to squeeze the limit of her functions as the mutation appeared.

But the speed of the natural disaster far exceeded the limit of humans, not to mention her calves were buried in the snow.

Damn!

Christina felt empty under her feet. She realized that the collapse had spread, followed by a powerless sense of weightlessness.

At this critical moment, she raised her right arm and aimed at the unaffected frozen soil layer.

With a "bang," the hook claw shot out, hanging her in mid-air.

Christina was terrified, but fortunately she didn't fall down immediately, so there was still salvation, still hope.

She tried to turn her head, but saw the towering rock wall in front of her. No matter how hard she tried to look up, she couldn't see the top of it.

The situation is very bad.

It's hard to go up, and it's hard to go down.

Christina had to think about what to do next.

But, soon, she realized that she didn't have the power to make a choice.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came, Christina looked up in horror, and saw a large shadow falling from above.

That was the giant rock and soil layer falling from above!

It felt like being hit by a mud truck, Christina completely lost control of her body.

Unconsciously, she reached out to grab upward, but couldn't grab anything.

She fell.

……

【Since the Great Fade, a long time has passed.】

【Unlike my parents, I have never personally experienced that chaotic and confused era.】

【For me, born in the heavy rain, the old century where color still existed in the world is just a distant dream, like the rainbow in the story, belonging to some kind of existence that is out of reach.】

【When I was young, my parents once took out old books from the bookcase again and again, pointed at the black and white text and illustrations, and told me what the colors of all things in the world should be.】

【They sighed that the world had changed and could never go back.】

【At that time, I didn't know at all what the "colors" other than black, white, and gray they were talking about were.】

【I just stared blankly out the window, with the black and white rain curtain that seemed to have never stopped in the background, immersed in my own world.】

【Once, the city organized us to watch a movie, which seemed to have been filmed before the fading. The content was a documentary of a person traveling around the world in half a year.】

【There were sun, rainbows, and stars in it, and many people in the audience were crying.】

【I did yearn for that legendary old century.】

【But since I was born, there has been no so-called sun and stars in the sky, only endless heavy rain.】

【I am not able to calmly put down these beautiful legends, I am just used to it.】

【—Life now is not bad, at least I am still in the city, much happier than those who died in the outer domain as rumored.】

【Although it is very monotonous and life is hard, what can I do. Escape from here? Where can I escape to?】

【In this endless rain, a new member of the family—my little brother was born.】

His mom and dad named him Tang Mi, a name that was a bit cliché.

【According to them, they don't want any more "special" things to appear in their lives, they hope that their little brother will be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.】

【At that time, I looked at his little mouse-like face, as if I saw another self from many years ago.】

……

Tommy!

Christina opened her eyes.

She found herself sitting on the ground, leaning against something.

"So cold… where is this…"

What she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. She was probably saved by a kind person.

Christina tried to raise her right arm. Her shoulder was heavy but not unable to move.

She tried to curl her fingers, numb and painful, but at least there was no fracture.

She quickly sorted out her situation—

Bad news: Tommy's whereabouts are unknown, and she doesn't know where she was picked up;

Good news: She is still alive.

Just then, she heard footsteps, light and soft. Christina built an image of a girl in her mind.

"Don't move around. You just recovered, be careful not to get hurt again."

A girl of about 20 years old walked into her field of vision, wearing a Hello Kitty cotton hat and a Polaroid camera hanging around her neck.

Unlike most people Christina had seen, this strange girl had colors she had never seen before.

……

For Christina, she was a girl she had never seen before, but for the viewers, she was an old acquaintance.

She is numbered "SCP-105," and her real name is Iris Thompson!

"It's good to have surviving members. I thought the Foundation was really all GG."

"105 is still here, then other reality benders and divinities should also be here, right? The O5's secret base shouldn't be affected, right?"

"Hard to say, I haven't seen 105 dressed like this before, it's very girlish."

……

Christina watched the other party walk to her quietly, motionless, until the opposite side opened her mouth and asked a very heavy question:

"Are you from the Foundation?"

Christina didn't react.

Iris wasn't in a hurry either. The two weren't familiar yet, so she had to get close first.

"Forgot? You encountered space-time fluctuations."

In Christina's mind, the terrifying scene of giant rocks and soil falling from the top of her head suddenly emerged.

"I remember…"

"That rock was falling towards me, so am I dead?"

"Still far from it," Iris joked, "If this is the afterlife, it's too cold. I'd rather be alive."

It is indeed cold enough here… Christina deeply agreed.

It looks airtight here, and there is a rare indoor light source, but she can't feel a trace of temperature, which is no different from walking in the wilderness.

"Then how did I get here… where is this… wait, you saved me, right?"

"Just passing by. But I want to ask you, why are you wearing the Foundation's protective suit?"

Foundation… what Foundation?

Christina followed the other party's gaze and looked down, seeing a logo on the left chest of her protective suit.

A ring and three inward-pointing arrows, this is indeed the Foundation's logo.

"…" Christina stopped talking, like a tape recorder that suddenly jammed.

Yes, why am I wearing the Foundation's protective suit? I am also looking for a reason. ===== CHAPTER 865 =====
