The memory seemed to be made into a pot of porridge by adding water. It was vague and mushy. She only remembered that she was lying in bed sleeping, gradually getting hotter and thirstier... the people around her
There was a gentle inquiry from the man, and she quickly grabbed his hand and responded in a low voice, "I'm so thirsty..."
——Opened her eyes suddenly, and for a moment, Lin Sanjiu thought she was about to see a snow-white face again. She turned over and sat up, shook her head, and used a little light to see clearly where she was.
environment of.
I usually come to the beautiful supermarket where I occasionally buy imported snacks to try out, but now it seems like a dead place, dark, quiet, and in a mess.
A thin white woman buried her face in her thick red hair and was sleeping soundly. On the other side of Mather, lying on the other side of Mather, was a fair and handsome young man. Hearing Lin Sanjiu's movements, he opened his eyes slightly.
Opened my eyes.
"Are you awake?" Lu Ze, who had just woken up, asked vaguely. He glanced at the clock on the wall of the supermarket, "Oh, it's already past six o'clock in the evening?"
Mather, who was awakened by the sound of the two talking, rubbed her eyes tiredly and sat up. "No wonder I'm hungry..." Lin Sanjiu heard her stomach making a sizzling sound, and she drank
He took a sip of water and murmured: "The little mummy has also calmed down."
Indeed, it was quiet in the direction of the staff room, and the shelves were well blocking the door, as if Wang Sisi had never appeared.
Lu Ze said: "I'm going to get some food," and then stood up, dragged his feet and yawned into the food area, and came back with some vacuum food such as duck feet and chicken legs.
After waking up, the restless and tense atmosphere before going to bed was almost completely gone. The three of them sat in a circle in a relaxed manner, eating and chatting.
"I said, you don't look like someone who has been on the battlefield at all." Lin Sanjiu found a pack of cookies that she had loved before, and teased Lu Ze in a good mood.
Mather snorted when he heard this: "Don't mention it. After we joined the army, I have been trained every day. He is so good, relying on his ability to transform, his life is so nourishing..."
"Hey, tell me quickly!" Lin Sanjiu asked with a smile.
Hearing the two of them chattering at the side, Lu Ze had food in his mouth and was completely unable to defend himself. He was so anxious that he took a gulp of water and tried to swallow all the food, but he almost choked... Suddenly,
The long-lost laughter rang out in the supermarket, and several people laughed and laughed. For a moment, it seemed that this new world was not so scary anymore.
Hearing the laughter outside, Wang Sisi knocked on the door unwillingly and let out a sharp scream.
The three of them fell asleep listening to her screams in the morning. By this time, they had already become accustomed to her presence. They calmly finished eating without even blinking. With Wang Sisi's harsh background sound, Lu Ze
He smacked his lips reluctantly: "It would be great if I could eat fried vegetables and rice."
This reminded Lin Sanjiu, and she clapped her hands suddenly: "Aren't we going to go upstairs to find Ren Nan's body soon? There is a stove in the house, it should still be usable - let's bring some rice up and cook.
I dare not say, but at least you can still have a bowl of meat porridge."
As soon as this suggestion came out, they immediately earned a lot of saliva from the two of them. Lu Ze was the first to jump up, and very energetically pulled Mather back and forth through the supermarket. In a short while, the ingredients were prepared: Thai rice.
, mineral water, vacuum-packed meat...
But what was disappointing was that after searching the entire supermarket, there were no flashlights. The three of them had no choice but to grab a lighter each and use it as lighting.
After resting for a few hours, they estimated that the sky outside should be completely dark. They packed their things and left the supermarket. Just in case, they locked the rolling door before leaving. When they got on the elevator, they saw that
The sun has indeed disappeared, and the hall on the first floor is dark and lifeless.
But what is unexpected is that due to the special structure of the shopping mall, all the heat from the sun is locked inside the building. Without the cool air from the air conditioner in the past, the lobby on the first floor has become a huge high-temperature steamer.
The uncomfortable heat was so aggressive that the three people's backs were soaked with sweat in just a few seconds. In addition, the mountain of corpses moved out in the morning began to emit a faint odor under the high temperature, causing Lin
Sanjiu didn't want to stay on the first floor for a second, and rushed out of the shopping mall door. Only then did his skin feel a little bit of wind.
It seems that we need to find a way to dispose of the body as soon as possible.
The traffic queue she and Lu Ze passed through this morning was still blocked in front of the shopping mall, but what was different from the morning was that most of the vehicles had run out of gas and electricity and were lifeless and silent. Only the occasional few were still hanging on.
The car's engine was still humming.
The train was like a dying snake, motionless in the high temperature.
Lin Sanjiu led the two of them around the road quickly without even looking into the car - she had seen enough of the dead people - the community where she and Ren Nan lived together was not far from the shopping mall.
After about ten minutes, the three of them had arrived downstairs in the apartment on the 38th floor.
Since the high temperature came, almost 70% to 80% of unsuspecting humans died within a day, so the power grid that was once paralyzed never turned on again - now a few people can only climb up to the 38th floor on one pair of legs.
As the only male, Lu Ze had no choice but to carry heavy items such as rice and water on his back, followed the two women, and climbed the stairs huffing and puffing.
Although the three of them were all so-called "evolved humans", when they reached the stairwell on the 25th floor in one breath, several of them really couldn't bear it. Lin Sanjiu, who had not been physically strengthened, was the first one to slump down on the stairs.
He went up and waved his hands: "No, no, no, no, let's take a break...take a breath and drink some water."
Mather carefully looked around with a lighter and saw nothing unusual. Then she unscrewed a bottle of juice and handed it to the two people who were lying on the floor.
The sweet taste of blueberries flowed down his throat and into his body. Just when Lu Ze wanted to praise how delicious it was, he heard the door to the stairwell on the 26th floor open with a "squeak"——
"Is anyone here? Husband, is it you?" A female voice with a hint of fear rang out tremblingly.
It didn't take a second. The three people jumped up at the same time, all alert. The lesson Wang Sisi brought was still vivid in his mind. Needless to say, Mather had already shouted in a deep voice: "Stand there and don't come over."
!who are you?"
The woman on the 26th floor didn't seem to expect that there was really someone downstairs. She screamed in fright, and then said in shock: "I, I live here... I came out to find my husband. Who are you?"
The three of them looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and raised her voice: "I am also a resident here. Now walk slowly to the stairs and show your face to us."
"Ah... why is this?" the woman said, but still followed the instructions and walked to the stairs step by step. The three of them raised their necks and looked up through the light of the lighter in Mather's hand.
In the orange-red light, a normal, clean human female face appeared on the edge of the armrest. She was about thirty years old, wearing a scarlet pajamas, and had a certain charm between her eyebrows.
Her eyes were red and swollen, but she couldn't hide the panic on her face - when she caught sight of Lin Sanjiu, the woman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, it's you, I saw you downstairs!
"
Lin Sanjiu, however, had no impression of her at all. But since she was not a fallen species, the others put their guard down and went upstairs.
The woman seemed to feel that meeting Lin Sanjiu was very friendly, so she hurriedly said to her: "You probably haven't noticed me, but I have seen you several times. You and your boyfriend are always walking downstairs. He is tall,
He's handsome, isn't he?" Speaking of this, she turned her eyes to Lu Ze, the only male, and then looked at Mather. She was obviously very confused, but she still didn't ask anything and just introduced herself:
"My surname is Kong, Kong Yun. Have you met my husband?"
Lin Sanjiu could hardly remember the last time she saw a normal living person. She didn't want to mention Ren Nan a word, and just when she was about to speak, Lu Ze spoke from the side: "...Sister Kong, what is your husband like?"
Huh? Aren’t we at home with you?”
These words made Kong Yun burst into tears: "Last night, we went to bed together. But suddenly the power went out in the middle of the night, and I woke up because of the heat. When I looked again, my husband was dead.
...Only his pajamas are left on the bed. He must have come out, I just don’t know where he is...I don’t dare to move around during the day..."
Probably because he hadn't seen a living person for a long time, Kong Yun had a tendency to vent all his emotions: "You guys think, how could the weather become so scary... I went downstairs to look for the security guard, but I didn't know that I had fainted.
Still dead, all lying on the ground, scared, scared me..."
While listening, Lin Sanjiu nodded comfortingly, and suddenly felt a gentle tug on the corner of her clothes. When she turned around, she saw Mather winking at her.
Mather had just gotten close to Lin Sanjiu's ear. Lu Ze seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He took a step forward at the right time, covering her so that Kong Yun didn't notice anything strange.
"We went upstairs for Ren Nan's body. We can't let her follow us to avoid causing trouble." Mather said in a low voice.
Indeed, judging from Kong Yun's appearance, if she saw the body, it would only cause unnecessary trouble. Lin Sanjiu nodded, raised her voice and said to Kong Yun: "Sister Kong, I need to go upstairs to get some clothes now. You
Let’s see if this is the case, you go home and rest first, and we’ll come back to you later when we come down, and we’ll see what we do then, okay?”
It seems that talking to a familiar face is very effective, and Kong Yun immediately agreed.
"By the way, do you want to replenish some water..." Lin Sanjiu glanced at her dry lips and reached out to grab the remaining half bottle of juice.
"Ah, I, I, I don't..." Kong Yun suddenly hesitated and turned his eyes back and forth. "Well, I mean, okay, I'll drink some. Thank you!"
Not to mention the two people who had been on the battlefield, even Lin Sanjiu was a person who had been around twice in critical moments of life and death, and his senses were very keen. When Kong Yun looked like this, the three of them couldn't help but stare at her.
