Qin Jing walked straight through the long shopping mall, went around to an office area next to the lifestyle supermarket, walked to a door, and opened it.
An indescribable smell hit my face, a smell of blood, rancidity, and a musty smell that had been dark and damp for a long time.
There are countless shadows in the not-so-wide room, some are lying, some are sitting on the sofa, or some are lying on the ground, skin and bones, their blood has been drained by some unknown creature, their eye sockets are deeply sunken, and they are terrifying like mummies.
.
They were all wearing the same security uniforms as Qin Jing, with explosion-proof electric batons hanging around their waists without even taking them out, as if they were resting peacefully just before the disaster.
Tang Rou stood at the door, not intending to go in. Her eyes stopped when she passed by a certain corpse.
The man was lying on the table, with the back of his head penetrated, leaving a dry blood hole. The uniform on his back had the number 1036 printed on it.
It's the person I met outside just now...
No, Tang Rou clearly realized at this moment that this 1036 is the real 1036. I don’t know what kind of creature it is outside.
But what frightened her was that this person had not had his clothes taken off, which proved that even the clothes of unknown creatures could be reproduced in detail, even with numbers.
What kind of creature is that?
They stood in the room, their faces ashen. The one who felt the most uncomfortable here was probably Qin Jing. Many of these people were his former colleagues.
Suddenly thinking of something, Qin Jing picked up the electric baton and went out.
"do not go!"
Tang Rou thought but didn't stop her.
Narcissus held her arm and looked around the room, looking as calm as if he were walking on a street with less than beautiful scenery.
His demeanor was completely different from Tang Rou's.
Indifferent, without warmth.
After browsing it once, he looked away and looked at Tang Rou beside him. In the whole building, the only person he cared about was probably the livid Tang Rou.
Tang Rou touched the mermaid's arm, which was a little dry, and then raised her hand to touch his ear fins. The other person bent down slightly and cooperated with her movements, like a cat being petted.
Aslan asked with some worry, "Is it okay for him to go there alone? He seems quite impulsive."
Tang Rou said, "We two women are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, and together with another person who can't even walk well, it's best not to go there."
As he spoke, he pulled out a large 1.5L bottle of mineral water from the shelf, unscrewed the cap and handed it to the blond beauty next to him, "Drink it and replenish your water."
He looks like a sexually active boyfriend who is considerate to his girlfriend.
The mermaid pretends to be a vase, holding the mineral water bottle and drinking it little by little.
Tang Rou frowned and thought, feeling that he still needed some light sea salt. It would be better to find some shrimps and crabs to supplement nutrition. Although he didn't know why his body temperature rose, it might be better to find something that could physically cool him down.
The condition of the supermarket looked better than that of the shopping mall. Maybe it was closed when the unknown creatures invaded, so there weren't too many strange substances seen inside.
Tang Rou took the mermaid to look for sea salt. Atherland found a delicatessen and plunged into it, where he was hungry for food.
After being separated from Aslan for a short period of time, the mermaid became visibly happier.
He followed Tang Rou slowly, enjoying being alone with her.
When the security guard left before, he also showed a hint of joy, and then quickly returned to his expressionless look, like a proud cat.
The shelves are stacked on top of each other, with a dazzling array of products. The mermaid opens her platinum-silver eyes, and the indifference inside slowly fades away, igniting a trace of curiosity about things in the human world.
Tang Rou originally just wanted to find him a pack of sea salt, but after coming in, the shopping instinct in her soul was aroused.
She opened a small door of a display cabinet, took out a hairpin from inside, and waved to the mermaid, "Come here."
Narcissus didn't understand why, so he walked to her side and Tang Rou said, "Lower your head."
The other party bowed his slender body obediently, and his long light blond hair hung down as smoothly as water.
Tang Rou grabbed a handful, and the silk was cool and slipped from her fingers like satin. She hurriedly held it in her hand and rolled it up, accidentally tearing off a few hairs, and secretly observed his expression with a guilty conscience, like
A straight man who doesn't know how to tie his girlfriend's hair.
Fortunately, Narcissus lowered his eyelashes and remained quiet, as if he didn't feel it.
It was Tang Rou's first time to tie someone's hair. She found that it was twice as difficult as tying her own hair, especially for such long and thick hair.
On the shoulders, it looks like a twisted flower bud.
However, against the background of his face, he looked lazy and enchanting. The mermaid raised his hand and rubbed it, seeming to like it very much.
Yin Hong's thin lips formed a slight arc, and in a flash, he looked at the display cabinet and pointed at a shiny hairpin studded with diamonds. He turned to look at Tang Rou with sparkling eyes, "This one looks good too.
"
Tang Rou, "..." What kind of straight-eyed aesthetic is this?
She pushed Narcissus forward, "Just wear one on your head. It's weird if you wear too many."
Yeah?
The mermaid turned back as she walked, with a slight regret in her eyes.
Tang Rou looked alert and frightened. When she passed by the kitchen area, she grabbed a pan and picked out a long and sharp boning knife from the knives.
He also pulled out two bottles of outdoor fire starter from the windproof pegs of the tent and threw them to the mermaid.
"Take it."
The mermaid shook the igniter with the musket in his hand, and got closer to smell it. He wondered what it was, why was it so ugly and smelly?
Tang Rou immediately pulled his hand away, put an unshaken bottle in his hand, "This thing cannot be shaken violently, it may explode easily."
The mermaid tilted her head, showing a puzzled expression.
Why did she stuff something smelly and dangerous into him?
But then, when he felt the bun hanging on his shoulders, he narrowed his eyes slightly, like a cat whose fur had been smoothed, and became happy again.
He had a great time browsing among the rows of shelves. The human world was new to him, and it was the first time that he felt that the human world was interesting.
Tang Rou was in the same world as him, but she was in a completely different state of mind.
She was very nervous. The quiet and dark supermarket was only illuminated by the rising skylight outside, making it look extremely eerie. There was a dangerous smell of moisture and rust hidden in the air.
In Tang Rou's eyes, the world is extremely dangerous, with murderous intentions hidden everywhere.
Every time she passed a corner, she was frightened. Every time she entered a dim area where light could not shine, she carefully avoided it, for fear that something would pounce from the blind spot and take their lives.
Finally, she passed by a row of shelves and saw the motorcycle helmets on it. Tang Rou raised her hand and took off one. She turned around and subconsciously wanted to hand it to the merman, but was horrified to find that the person who had been following her was gone.
Suddenly, alarm bells blared in her head, Tang Rou's nerves suddenly became tense, and she walked along the place she just passed by to look for him.
Along the way, he could not control himself and imagined scenes from various horror movies - could something unknown have pounced on him from behind when he was not paying attention just now? He was so weak, maybe...
The son will be beaten to death.
Too bad, his legs and feet are not flexible enough, so he probably won't be able to run away if he is caught.
Maybe someone even covered her mouth, shedding tears as she watched the clueless Tang Rou go further and further away, being devoured bit by bit by the monster... I couldn't think of it, and if I thought about it, it would be the scene of the mermaid lying in a pool of blood with no eyes open, dying with hatred.
.
Tang Rou, who had imagined all the bloody scenes, found him in a bedding area.
The mermaid did not encounter the ferocious scene she expected. Instead, she pulled a piece of retro-colored bedsheets with a thoughtful look on her face, lowering her head to compare with the one surrounding her body.
Seeing Tang Rou approaching, he raised his hand somewhat reservedly to show her, "What do you think of this?"
At that moment, Tang Rou's mood was very complicated.
