[Originally I wanted to finish it in advance...but it was postponed until this time...]
If you think about it carefully, how did Lin Sanjiu come up with the idea of "customs warehouse"?
Although most people know that imported food must go through customs, Lin Sanjiu also forgot where he heard the details: For example, the customs will conduct random inspections of imported products for up to a month; during this period, a large amount of food will be
Stored in the warehouse... It wasn't until she met the eyes of the person in the car that she suddenly remembered.
Because the person in front of me used to work in an import and export trading company.
"What's the matter, Xiaojiu?" The voice of the person in the car sounded smiling, "Aren't you happy to see your old friend?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at her straightly, and for a moment she forgot what she was going to say. After a long time, she called out in a dry voice: "Zhu Mei."
Behind her, Hu Changzai and the others noticed something was wrong and were about to step forward. When they heard this sentence, they looked at each other in confusion.
"Long time no see, Xiaojiu." Zhu Mei narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, "I didn't expect that we all have some extra decorations on our faces."
Lin Sanjiu looked at her in a daze, and then reached out to touch the dark green patterns on her face. Looking at her movements, Zhu Mei laughed: "But yours is much prettier than mine."
Is she laughing? This unrelated thought suddenly flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind - it sounded like she was laughing, but at this moment, half of Zhu Mei's face was replaced by a mouthpart, which was really weird.
It's hard to tell if she is smiling.
The place where the mouth and nose were originally turned into a deep hole, and a mouthpart oozing with mucus came out; the end of the mouthpart flicked and hit the car door with a bang, which shocked Lin Sanjiu.
Then he took a step back as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Are you afraid of me?" Zhu Mei took a step forward.
These legs, only wearing shorts, are white and plump, with delicate skin and flesh, just like when she was alive.
...before death?
"Zhu Mei... I went to your house after the temperature rose." Lin Sanjiu felt her throat was dry and itchy: "Someone else went into your house, and they said you were dead..."
"Who else?" Zhu Mei tilted her head. As she moved, her mouthparts reflected metal like light in the dim tunnel. "It doesn't matter, I might have been dead at the time. Since you've been there, why didn't you replace me?"
Shall I collect the body?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at her speechlessly. At that time, she thought Lu Ze and Mather had murderous intentions towards her, so she turned around and rushed downstairs. After being caught up, although the misunderstanding was resolved, she met them immediately afterwards.
The first fallen species... Thinking of this, her chest felt heavy and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by the other party's voice.
"That's fine," Zhu Mei smiled, got out of the car and stood on the ground. "If you had been troublesome and collected the body, I might not be alive now."
Did it change after death? Lin Sanjiu thought, biting her lower lip.
"...If I had known that you would become a fallen species, I would never have left you alone." Her voice was muffled.
Zhu Mei raised her eyebrows: "So you've already come up with a good name? Don't you think that... fallen species like us shouldn't live? Do you think it's better for me to die than to become a fallen species?"
Her tone was sharp and aggressive, an attitude that Lin Sanjiu had never seen from her before. Lin Sanjiu was immediately stopped by the question, her mind was in a whirlwind, and she couldn't answer anything, so she could only stare blankly.
Hold each other.
Someone caught up from behind, it was Hu Changzai. His voice sounded very vague, like a distant background sound: "Xiaojiu, do you know this degenerate? Come here, be careful with her..."
Zhu Mei glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "Why is it your turn, where is Ren Nan?"
"He is my companion." Lin Sanjiu endured the turbulent emotions in her heart and answered as calmly as possible.
At this time, Hai Tianqing and Rabbit also walked up, staring at Zhu Mei closely, still keeping a far distance from each other to avoid bumping into each other - this has become their subconscious habit for more than a month.
Zhu Mei didn't care at all about the crowd surrounding her, she just crossed her arms and looked at Lin Sanjiu, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
Facing Zhu Mei, who not only looked like a different person but also had a different personality, Lin Sanjiu really didn't know what to say. Are you happy that her friend is still alive? Are you sad that she has become a fallen species? Do you want to be like this?
Treat her like other degenerates? Thinking of Wang Sisi who drank his father, Pei Jun who used his girlfriend to hunt... What to say, what to do next, Lin Sanjiu had no clue.
After a long while, she finally spoke, but the first words that came out of her mouth were - "Zhu Mei, you...have you killed a lot of people?"
If you haven't smoked at least a dozen people, you will never have such a rich body.
"Yes, I want to live! I have lived in this tunnel for several months." Zhu Mei nodded generously, "Half of the people on this road, including several evolutionaries, have become my food.
.I once told you about the customs affairs, thinking that maybe you would come, so I chose this place... I didn’t expect that you actually made me wait.”
"I have all the memories from before. I can also talk and think about things...Xiaojiu, do you know what this means? It means that Zhu Mei has never died and we are still good friends."
At this time, the two were standing face to face. When Zhu Mei spoke, her mouthparts were shaken, and saliva was falling from the end to the ground drop by drop.
...Is this really the case?
On the right is the direction they came from, which is the other end of the tunnel - at this time, Hai Tianqing is standing there, taking a step forward anxiously, frowning and saying: "Xiaojiu, you don't have to say anything to her anymore."
After becoming a fallen species, you are no longer the same person as before. You should—"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and completely forgot what he said next.
Not only him, but Lin Sanjiu and Zhu Mei were also suddenly surprised - their eyes were stunned, and their eyes slowly moved from right to left following the footsteps of the man who suddenly appeared in front of them.
A young man, about 1.78 meters tall, carrying a bag and wearing a hat, humming a tune, walked past Lin and Zhu as if nothing had happened, as if he had not seen them, and continued to move forward briskly.
Walk.
"He, he...where did he come from?"
Lin Sanjiu suddenly turned her head to look to the right and asked stammeringly.
On the right hand side, as before, stood Hu Changzai, Hai Tianqing, and Rabbit. The man was clearly coming from this direction, which meant that he had to pass by Hai Tianqing and others first - but they were no better than Lin San at the moment.
The wine was much better, and he stared blankly at the back, obviously he had just seen the man.
"No, I don't know. He passed by me suddenly..." Hu Chang looked shocked, "I didn't realize there was anyone nearby..."
The man seemed to feel the gaze behind him, and suddenly stopped and stopped humming. He turned his head, half of his face was covered by the shadow cast by the beret, and he could not see clearly - there was only one face.
The rosy mouth was exposed, with the corners of the mouth curved upward, giving a standard and polite smile.
"You just said you've been living in this tunnel for several months, right?"
The man's voice was flat, with no pauses or ups and downs. It sounded like an electronic sound and made people feel uncomfortable.
The person he was questioning was obviously Zhu Mei - Lin Sanjiu subconsciously turned to look at her.
Zhu Mei didn't seem to expect that this weirdo would suddenly talk to her. She frowned and looked at him carefully. Then, her face suddenly turned white, and the mouthparts hanging in front of her body trembled slightly:
"Ah, are you—"
As if by magic, the next second, an oval-shaped hole appeared in her chest. Through the hole, Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the car behind her.
Zhu Mei looked down at the hole in her chest in disbelief, as if muttering something, and then with a "bang", her body fell to the ground, her eyes still wide open.
It was only then that the piece of flesh and blood that was blasted out suddenly hit the wall of the tunnel with a splash, immediately staining the wall red.
The beret man slowly lowered his arm, with something like a gun barrel still smoking in his hand.
The corners of his mouth were still raised, and his tone was the same as before, calm and without fluctuations: "What awakens after becoming a fallen species is only all the dark sides of this person's character, so it cannot be regarded as the same person. Since she is a fallen species, I will help you kill her."
You’re welcome.”
While speaking, the beret man raised his chin slightly, allowing several people to see his face clearly.
He has smooth skin, a high nose and deep eyes. He seems to be of mixed race, with a few curly hair peeking out from the brim of his hat. If it weren't for the dull and dull eyes, which stayed motionless in the center of the eye sockets, he would be considered handsome.
Got——
"Zhu Mei!" Lin Sanjiu held onto the hollow body, not daring to look at the face. She just tried to control her trembling hands and feet: "You, you killed Zhu Mei?"
For a moment, her mind was hazy, and it seemed that this thought was the only thing left. Unknowingly, her raised eyes slowly turned blood red.
A big hand suddenly pressed on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder, with a heavy, restraining force, carefully avoiding the skin, and grabbed her body - Hai Tianqing's deep voice then sounded: "Xiaojiu
, don’t act rashly.”
Lin Sanjiu looked down and found that she had grasped the mouthpart in her hand at some point.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." Hai Tianqing, who had always been calm, said in a slightly different voice: "Look back."
Lin Sanjiu turned her head in confusion.
Behind Hu Changzai and Rabbit, stood a dozen berets who looked exactly the same. The barrels of the guns in each person's hands were raised, facing them in the dark.
"Aren't you going to the customs warehouse? Let's go together."
Behind her, the man who killed Zhu Mei said in a flat tone.
