This chapter is relatively late, everyone has gone to bed, right? I feel the thrill of overwhelming settings in this chapter]
Almost as soon as the sound reached their ears, three people jumped up from the ground.
It didn't even take half a second. Lin Sanjiu turned her hand, held the chef's knife firmly, and asked sharply: "Who?"
Her voice contained a chilling tone, falling into the darkness.
"Ah... don't be nervous, it's me, I'm Kong Yun downstairs."
This sentence came from the dark corridor in front of the nanny's room. Kong Yun's voice sounded a little tired, but also very relieved: "Great, it turns out you have a flashlight here." He said this without waiting for the room.
The three invited them and walked in.
Flashlight? Where did it come from——
Immediately, the three of them realized what Kong Yun was referring to, and suddenly they secretly complained in their hearts.
The ability polishing agent seemed to be too bright. Even Kong Yun who was standing at the emergency door could see the light. At this time, Kong Yun's slow footsteps were heard from the direction of the emergency door. Mather was so anxious that she kicked
He kicked the ability polishing agent towards the sofa. The small bottle turned into countless points of light the moment before it hit the sofa, and quickly integrated into the sofa, and the house suddenly became dark.
"Hey? Why did you turn off the flashlight? I can't see-" Kong Yun said with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Sanjiu frowned slightly, then had an idea, and said quickly: "That was my mobile phone just now, and it happened to be out of battery now... Sister Kong, didn't we ask you to wait at home? Why did you come up here?" After a pause,
Her doubts surfaced: "By the way, how do you know I live here?"
While she was talking, she put her hand on the corpse's leg. A white light appeared and the ground became empty.
As soon as she held the card in her hand, Kong Yun walked into the living room in the dark. The moment her footsteps entered the living room, Lu Ze lit the lighter.
In the orange-red light, Kong Yun looked a little embarrassed: her face and body were covered with a layer of wet sweat, and her hair was stuck to her forehead in strands. Feeling the eyes of several people, she rushed to her in embarrassment.
Lin Sanjiu smiled: "The security guard told me before that you two are the owners of the top floor. Your house is too high. I was exhausted even when I climbed up from the 26th floor..."
Although they have evolved, not everyone has as good physical strength as Lin Sanjiu until their physical strength is strengthened.
There doesn't seem to be anything strange about her.
Lin Sanjiu then put down the knife, still thinking about the piece of paper that fell on the ground, and smiled: "Sister Kong, what's the matter with you coming up here?"
"It's nothing," Kong Yun looked a little embarrassed, "I just stay at home alone, and my husband is missing, so I feel really scared..."
This is not incomprehensible - the three of them looked at each other, and Lu Ze suddenly showed her a row of white teeth and said with a smile: "Sister Kong, you came up just in time, which saves us from going down to call you later.
You see, we brought some water and rice here just so we can cook some porridge... Do you want to eat some too?"
Lin Sanjiu clapped her hands in her heart - this is a good reason! Otherwise, it would really feel unnatural for three people to gather in the living room doing nothing.
Kong Yun was obviously stunned, glanced at the rice, and then smiled: "That's great! Although this rice is not suitable for making porridge, it is pretty good. Just rest and let me do it!"
"Okay, let me help you." Mather picked up the rice bag and walked towards the kitchen.
Kong Yun seemed to be unable to hold back her curiosity about Mather, and hurriedly followed her, asking as she walked: "You speak Chinese really well, where are you from..."
Seeing the two of them talking, they entered the kitchen and started to prepare porridge. At this time, Lu Ze calmly handed a hard object to Lin Sanjiu. It turned out that he didn't know when he had put all the pieces of paper on the ground.
Picked it up.
"By the way, this..." Just as Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, the young man interrupted her: "Go back and talk."
"Go back and tell her? You mean you don't plan to take her back to the supermarket?" Lin Sanjiu reacted quickly.
It seemed to be a subconscious sentence. Lu Ze didn't think much about it. Hearing this, he frowned and looked embarrassed. - Indeed, if you don't take Kong Yun with you, it would be like throwing her away as a newly evolved person with no abilities.
She's not very kind outside; but a few people really don't have the kind of trust in her that comes from life-and-death situations, so it's not appropriate to take her back to the supermarket.
"Let's take a look. Maybe she has her own ideas and we don't need us to decide for her." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a little amused when she saw Lu Ze's wrinkled face, and comforted her.
It seems that Kong Yun usually cooks spoons at home. Although there is little light, it does not hinder her neat movements - she chops two packages of vacuum salted chicken into small pieces, adds a little seasoning, and cooks it with the porridge for half an hour.
, a fragrance filled the air.
Lu Ze, who had not eaten human food for more than a year, suddenly had saliva filling his mouth.
"Come on, you can eat!"
Putting the porridge pot on the dining table, Mather found a few sets of tableware and filled out four bowls of porridge. The porridge just came out of the pot was steaming, and the white rice grains reflected a bright light under the light of the lighter.
The man blew the air and stirred it with a spoon. Finally, he waited until it was ready to eat, and he immediately took a spoonful of it.
Although the porridge is hot, it is not uncomfortable to eat - a comfortable warmth flows into the stomach, and the sweet and salty taste of chicken porridge is still lingering on the lips, teeth and tongue. Counting the time, Lin Sanjiu is actually less than 24
I had eaten a more delicious salmon meal just a few hours ago, but for some reason, this chicken porridge after the destruction of the world tasted like it was from another world.
Mather took a sip of porridge and asked Kong Yun calmly: "...You were by yourself all the time yesterday. How did you live?"
Because Lu Ze wanted to eat, he put the lighter aside long ago, so in the dark, he couldn't really see Kong Yun's expression. He only heard her say sadly: "I've been looking for me since I got up in the middle of the night.
My husband couldn’t get through on the phone, and the security guard downstairs also passed out. I drove out for a few rounds, and saw a lot of people walking around like crazy on the street. I was so scared that I came back immediately. I was beaten until
In the morning, it was too hot, so I hid in the bathroom at home and fell asleep... I don’t know how my husband is doing now."
"Then... have you noticed anything different about yourself?"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, ah? What's different from usual... I didn't notice it. What are you referring to?" Kong Yun seemed a little surprised and knocked the spoon on the bowl.
Maybe her advanced abilities haven't been developed yet. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and if she wanted to explain the new world, evolved humans, etc., she would probably have to wait until her advanced abilities were developed to be more convincing. So she laughed.
He smiled and said, "Nothing. It's a long story. We'll talk to you later. By the way, what are your plans for a while?"
Kong Yun did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "I want to go home and wait for my husband until he comes back. Maybe he will come back when, and he should be anxious when he can't see me. By the way, let's eat faster.
, I would also like to invite you to see my husband's photo later. If you meet him outside, remember to ask him to come home to me..."
In her words, she seemed not to realize that if she kept waiting and lacked food and water, she would eventually die.
I'm afraid it's not that she doesn't realize it, but that she is willing to take this risk - even if there is only a slim glimmer of hope.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little dark. After a while, Lin Sanjiu said: "...Okay, if you are short of food, we will bring you some."
She didn't want to break this woman's pillar so quickly. Losing hope was as deadly to humans as the harsh environment outside.
Kong Yun said thank you gratefully.
The small pot of porridge was quickly eaten; after what Kong Yun said just now, the three of them packed up their things and followed her downstairs without any delay.
There are two units on each floor below the top floor, but the other unit on the 26th floor seems to have been empty, so the door was not locked when Kong Yun left, and it opened with a push.
As soon as the three people entered the room, they were all stunned.
The elegantly decorated house was extremely bright at the moment. The dining table, coffee table, and flower stand were filled with beautiful candlesticks of various sizes - each candlestick was lit with several beautifully carved cream candles.
The fiery red candlelight and faint aroma filled the entire living room, as beautiful as a dream—and as hot as a nightmare.
Surrounded by candlelight, Kong Yun smiled shyly, her eyes filled with water.
"My husband bought these candles for our wedding anniversary. When I came home that day, I saw candles all over the house, and he even cooked for me..." Her voice was choked.
, combed her hair and found a few photo frames as if nothing had happened.
"After the anniversary, he will throw away the candle. I disagree with him. Look, isn't it used?" Kong Yun sniffed and handed the photo to Lin Sanjiu with red eyes.
The photo showed an ordinary-looking man with a very gentle smile and white teeth. Lin Sanjiu said, "Ah," and said, "I have an impression of your husband. I think I met him once downstairs."
At that time, there was a particularly angry woman on his phone who kept shouting something so loud that it could be heard outside the phone. Only then did Lin Sanjiu remember it.
As soon as she said this, Kong Yun's tears couldn't stop rolling down. "We had a fight that day... I really regret it... If I had known we would be separated, I definitely wouldn't have yelled at him even a word. He
He is a very gentle person..."
Mather patted her shoulder gently and sighed.
Lu Ze sat silently on the chair. Like all men, he seemed to not know what to say to the crying woman.
After comforting Kong Yun for a few words, Lin Sanjiu straightened up, looked around the house aimlessly, and then frowned in confusion.
If you look closely, this house is really strange.
The water dispenser in the living room was empty, but there was a full bucket next to it. It seemed that the owner had no intention of putting the bucket on it.
If the owner is not short of water, the fish tank is empty. Only a layer of ornamental stones and a small treasure box are left, sitting dry in the fish tank. When he got closer and smelled it, a strong smell of fish hit his face.
Come.
The strangest thing is the potted plants in this house. To say they are potted plants, it is better to say that they are several pots of soil that were originally supposed to be planted with plants. Now the plants are gone, leaving only pits in the soil, which can be vaguely restored.
I saw some roots...a thought flashed through my mind quickly.
"Shall I get you some water? Is there any water in your refrigerator?" Lin Sanjiu had already walked to the refrigerator in a few hurried steps, and then asked abruptly. However, before Kong Yun could answer, she had already
He opened the refrigerator door.
The compartments in the refrigerator were almost empty, with only some plastic films scattered around - the kind used in supermarkets to wrap vegetables. One of the plastic films still had a price tag on it, which read "High-quality organic carrots, 14.98"
". On the left hand side was a neat row of drinks. With just one glance, Lin Sanjiu was sure: no one had ever touched these drinks.
It was only then that Kong Yun's somewhat panicked voice came from behind: "No, no need, I'm not thirsty, thank you."
Lin Sanjiu closed the refrigerator door, looked back at Mather's hand on Kong Yun, and felt as if there was a heavy stone in her stomach.
