[This chapter is super long, I can finish it in another 20 minutes]
"Um……"
The woman curled up on the ground suddenly let out a low groan, breaking the deadlock in the room.
"Ah... that moment just now really hurt a bit..."
Seeing "Mama Lin" standing up while rubbing the back of her head, Lin Sanjiu felt the corners of her eyes twitching - something was not good, two against one. Let's not say that there was a tall and big man on the other side. At this moment, she
My hands and feet are so tired that I don’t even have the ability to protect myself...
"Mother Lin" stood up straight and moved her neck. When she turned around again, she had transformed into a strange young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Oh, it's true. There are so many parents in the world, but we met an orphan..." The young man didn't even look at Lin Sanjiu, and first complained to his accomplice. "Dad Lin" was silent.
He nodded and took two steps out of the bedroom.
After two steps, "Dad Lin" turned into a middle-aged white woman with red hair. She asked the boy in fluent Chinese: "She didn't break you just now, did she?"
The young man smiled and showed his white teeth: "Of course not, she is not very energetic."
Seeing the two of them acting so naturally, Lin Sanjiu felt bitter in her heart - she quietly stepped back a little, and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you also from the 'New World'?"
When the young man heard this, he seemed to be immediately interested: "Oh? So you know so much? I underestimated you, no wonder you were so quick to strike. Well, I just noticed it. You probably have evolved a bit...
…The potential must be very high.”
The young man's tone was particularly lively and lively, as if he was talking about a game he liked to play. If the young man hadn't turned into the appearance of his deceased mother just now and lured him into the room, Lin Sanjiu would have really let down his guard.
Already.
"My friend...is really dead?"
The young man shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly. "You are in the bathroom. It seems that you are too dehydrated. You want to drink water. But there seems to be a drought in your place? Anyway, not a drop of water comes out of the tap water pipe...
By the way, the appearance of her death is very ugly, I advise you not to look at it."
Tears burst out almost uncontrollably. Lin Sanjiu wiped them away quickly, stared at the two people opposite, and took another step back.
She had already met Ren Nan, a so-called "evolved person" from the new world. This time she suddenly met two more, and Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be wary to the maximum: "If you didn't kill my friend, you
Why are you here? Why did you trick me into coming in just now?"
The young man spread his hands and said: "When we came here, we couldn't choose the location! It's not bad to stay in a house this time, and there is a bed to rest... In short, your friend was already dead when we came here."
"Then why did you pretend to be my parents and lie to me again? How did you know about my parents?" It was obvious that this boy was very talkative, and he had revealed a lot of information in a short time - Lin Sanjiu made a plan in his mind
, asked again deliberately.
I don't know if she read her mind. This time, before the boy could answer, the red-haired woman became impatient. She waved her hand to stop the boy from talking, and said with a cold face: "I want you to come in."
of."
There was a sound of metal scratching, and the red-haired woman's nails suddenly stretched half a meter, shining with a faint luster in the dark. She smiled: "I just want to see how far people in this world have evolved.
Already."
Almost at the moment when the red-haired woman's nails popped out, Lin Sanjiu kicked the chair forward, blocking the way of the two of them, and quickly turned around and ran away. Fortunately, she didn't close the door when she entered the house just now.
Only then there is a way to escape——
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to look back, and rushed straight to the stairs, rushing down the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time. As expected, footsteps sounded immediately behind him, and they chased after him non-stop, mixed with the young man's footsteps.
Complaint: "...she hurt me again!"
Then, she couldn't hear anything, and there was only one thought left in her mind: escape. It was as if the oxygen in her body had been squeezed out, and her lungs began to hurt. Every time she took a big breath, the air that came in was hot.
The temperature directly burned the trachea - although Lin Sanjiu was not afraid, the discomfort was unavoidable. In addition, she had been injured and her hands and feet were weak. She could not run fast at all and was about to reach the gate of the community.
At that moment, there was a sharp sound of metal breaking through the air - Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth, rolled on the spot, and finally dodged the long steel armor of the red-haired woman behind him.
She rolled about one meter away, and when she looked back, she saw that the red-haired woman and the boy were about to arrive, and were about to pounce on her——
A white thing was suddenly thrown into the air by Lin Sanjiu. As she thought, two large iron doors suddenly appeared in the air, and fell straight from the air with the wind.
The young man screamed and was photographed below. Lin Sanjiu's feet softened and she fell to the ground.
Seeing that the boy couldn't get up, she was not happy at all - because the red-haired woman who was currently the biggest threat to her was still standing outside the iron gate!
However, she can no longer run. Every time she switches cards, a certain amount of energy is consumed; just switching out the iron gate has exhausted the last bit of strength in Lin Sanjiu - she can't even stand now.
He couldn't get up, so he had to lie down on the spot and glared at the red-haired woman fiercely, feeling full of unwillingness.
But unexpectedly, the red-haired woman sighed and did not catch up. Instead, she sat down on the spot. She frowned, turned to the young man under the iron door and asked, "Why are you so stupid?"
The young man who was knocked down by the heavy door actually seemed not to have suffered any fatal injuries. He coughed twice with all his strength, and then he gasped and cursed back: "I am a real person with real skin and flesh, so of course I am not as good as
You ran fast! Cough, cough...it feels so uncomfortable...it's pressing on my trachea..."
The red-haired woman made a "cut" sound and said with a sneer: "It's true that you have a lot of fat on your body. You move so slowly. I don't know how you survived."
"What did you say? If my potential hadn't been so high -"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the two pursuers not far away who were quarreling back and forth, as if they had completely forgotten about her.
"Um...won't you come and kill me?"
"Ah?" The young man's head stuck out from between the bars of the iron gate and looked at her in surprise: "Sister, do you think we are going to kill you? No wonder you are running like crazy, I keep calling you you
It doesn’t stop... I have already evolved to a high degree, what good will it do me to kill a little chick like you who has just developed?"
Looking at this highly evolved person who was lying on the ground and unable to move, Lin Sanjiu's mouth twitched, but she still couldn't bear to say anything. But at the same time, her heart finally fell heavily.
In the stomach - now they have no hostility, which is really good. It's just -
"Sister, can you please take away the iron gate? It's crushing me so much." Seeing no one said anything to him, the young man grumbled and said again.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the red-haired woman sitting on the ground, a little confused as to why she was just standing aside and watching. After a pause, she said coldly: "Okay, but first you have to introduce yourselves."
"Yes, yes. My name is Lu Ze. Nice to meet you. Would you like to come over and shake hands?" The young man leaned his head against the fence. He probably saw Lin Sanjiu rolling his eyes. He smiled quickly and said:
"Oh, by the way, this is my other personality, her name is Mather."
Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened. "Another personality...?"
"That's right. Before the arrival of the 'new world' over there, I was the second case worldwide that was truly diagnosed with split personality." When Lu Ze talked about this, his tone suddenly became particularly proud. He
He raised his chin with great effort: "Later, I evolved and was able to differentiate Mather, but for now we can't be too far apart... Well, it involves my ability, so I won't tell you too much.
, and don’t ask me why I know your parents, this is also my ability..." He realized that he almost said too much, and hurriedly covered it up: "Oh, in short, Mather is a life scientist, and he is very knowledgeable about the newly evolved human beings.
She was very interested, so she was a little anxious just now."
Lin Sanjiu turned her eyes and saw Mather nodding seriously.
"Then she stretched out her nails so long..." Lin Sanjiu looked at Mather's nails in confusion. Under the flashlight light, the nails on her ten fingers now looked normal, short and round.
"It is used for drawing blood... After drawing blood, some basic data can be analyzed - this is an ability developed by Mather herself, and has little practical value." Lu Ze said honestly.
"Wait a minute, you mean - not only can you evolve abilities, but also your differentiated personality?" Lin Sanjiu was truly surprised now. Lu Ze is indeed the little king of potential: "
If this continues, won't you become a legion by yourself?"
"It can't be that simple..." Lu Ze said with a grimace. "This ability is so useless right now. Except for her nails, Mather can't even hurt anyone now. Okay, okay, if you reveal too much of your ability, people will die."
, please let me out first, if there is any problem, let’s talk about it slowly, okay?”
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. Maybe it was because she suddenly saw her deceased parents just now. The scene was too weird... At this time, she and Lu Ze chatted for a while, and she really couldn't feel that he was with Mather.
She smiled bitterly and confessed: "It's not that I don't want to let you out, it's just that I'm exhausted now and I have to rest for a while. Why don't you tell me what this 'new world' is about?"
Bar……"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a strange sound of "Ah Gu?" coming from the guard room next to her.
Mather, who was sitting quietly, suddenly turned over and jumped up, and said softly with a solemn face: "...Oh no."
The place where Lu Ze fell couldn't be worse - he fell right at the gate. When Lin Sanjiu and Mather arrived, people from three floors inside and three outside had already surrounded the gate.
The exit was blocked tightly. There were people in the crowd who wanted to go out, some who wanted to watch the excitement, some who shouted for help, some who cursed, and some who shouted to get out of the way... People were on their backs, and it was chaos.
Now Lin Sanjiu didn't care about so many things. Anyone who dared to block the way in front of her would be thrown aside by her collar. Not long after, amid the complaints, she
He led Mather into the center of the crowd.
I saw Lu Ze lying on the ground with a pale face, his eyes closed tightly, and his body shaking slightly. His clothes were dusty, and there were several footprints on his legs. He probably fell suddenly and was stepped on by someone behind him.
——Chen Jinfeng didn’t know when he came, and he was squatting next to him. He couldn’t help shouting to the crowd coming from behind: “Everyone, give way. Someone in front has fainted. Don’t go any further.
!”
He was a cadre, so his words naturally had weight. Some people in the crowd who knew him also shouted a few words to help disperse the crowd.
Mather smiled at him gratefully and said, "When did Cadre Chen come? Thank you so much."
Lin Sanjiu also nodded to him and put Lu Ze's arm on his shoulder. Seeing them helping Lu Ze up, Chen Jinfeng patted the ashes on his legs, stood up and said to the two of them: "You guys
Just come here, there is a medical room in Building 38, you can take him to see it. Don’t worry about dinner, I will have someone call and send it to you."
"Thank you, but it's okay. This is an old problem!" Lin Sanjiu didn't explain much and said hurriedly: "We can just take him back to his room to rest."
Chen Jinfeng nodded reservedly and left without saying anything else.
"I didn't expect that although this Cadre Chen might have a bit of an accent when he talks, he is actually a nice person." Mather held Lu Ze's other side and sighed while walking back with difficulty.
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
It is indeed not an easy task to squeeze through the hungry crowd and go against the current - being bumped into by the crowd and pushed back several times, Lin Sanjiu became impatient and simply became rude; he did not know how many things were uncovered along the way.
Man, finally returned to Lu Ze’s residence.
After they laid him down on the bed, the two embarrassed women had time to breathe. While waiting for Lu Ze to regain consciousness, the two sat on the ground and chatted.
"This morning, my evolution ability has also been upgraded." Lin Sanjiu said with a smile, "It seems that experiencing a dungeon has greatly stimulated our abilities."
Mather nodded silently and suddenly sighed. "I don't know if mine will be upgraded..."
Mather's ability has always been a shortcoming among the three of them - her nails can only be used for blood drawing and analysis. They are made like glass and break when touched. Therefore, if she encounters danger, she can only use some
A convenient weapon - but to be honest, although she is physically stronger than the average person, she is not a martial arts master after all.
Over the past month or so, Lin Sanjiu has probably figured out something: the ability to evolve is like a knife, it will not become sharp unless it is polished. Like some of the few natural evolvers in the oasis, because of their comfortable life, they have no
After training, even physical strength enhancement has not been developed...
"It seems that you have to find opportunities to practice your skills." Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully: "I have met two evolvers. Maybe they are willing to let you draw blood for analysis."
Then, she told Mather all about her experience this morning - starting from the walkie-talkie being picked up, to Xiaoyu's unusually harsh attitude, including the oasis people's use of pills to induce fertility.
.
"...I don't know if I think too much. I always feel that I should be more cautious here." At the end, Lin Sanjiu concluded like this.
"Nonsense." Such a cool sentence suddenly sounded in the room.
Lin Sanjiu's body reaction was faster than her consciousness - as soon as she heard these two words, her skin seemed to notice something was wrong, and her hair stood up. Her and Mather's expressions were both
After freezing, the two slowly turned their heads.
Lu Ze had woken up at some point, leaning on the bed with one arm, raising an eyebrow and looking at them indifferently.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen this expression on Lu Ze's face - his facial features, hair, and everything remained the same - but with a change of expression, the aura around him was completely different. The youthful look from before
The astringent and vigorous temperament disappeared, replaced by a cold feeling like a cold pool. If Lu Ze was a talkative young man in the past, now he is something covered in human skin - like a human, but without any
Human flavor.
The tone is so different from before that the voice sounds different: "Why are you looking at me?"
As he spoke, he looked at his palms and nails with interest.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange - after Lu Ze asked this question, no one answered him for a while.
In the silence, the sound of Mather swallowing her saliva next to her was extremely loud. Then, she screamed "Ah——" as if she had a headache, and grabbed her hair, with a look of pain on her face.
He said to Lu Ze: "It turns out you are next!"
"What, what, what's going on?" This was Lin Sanjiu who was confused about the situation.
Lu Ze seemed not to notice the confusion on her face at all. He sat up from the bed and put a hand on his chin. A vague and sarcastic smile gradually spread across his face like winter fog.
.
"The crop cycle has been shortened to 30 days? High temperature resistance? The ability of drugs to catalyze evolution? Do you really believe it like the pigs in the oasis?" His tone became softer, but the content was almost cold and hard.
It can be said to be full of malice: "Are you all so frightened by the fallen species that you don't realize what this means?"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at this person whom she still recognized with only one face. Without activating her keen intuition, she blurted out one sentence: "Who are you?"
This time, before "Lu Ze" could speak, Mather on the side said in a voice that was almost like a moan: "Xiaojiu, let me introduce it to you... This is Lu Ze's seventh personality, Feng
Seventy-seven.”
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt like his scalp was exploding, and he stared at "Lu Ze" blankly.
Lu Ze - no, Feng Qiqi seemed to be giving her alms, and he curved his lips towards her, even if he smiled: "Lu Ze won't be out for a while, you'd better get used to me as soon as possible."
