Many years ago, before the apocalypse came to her hometown, Lin Sanjiu had been to theme parks several times. In addition to roller coasters, she also liked the kind of rides in a car or boat, from the park settings
Passing between jungles, rivers or haunted houses; tourists screamed and laughed in various scenes and went on safe mini-adventures.
Many years later, after spending a long time in a giant factory, Lin Sanjiu found that he was about to embark on the same "canoe rafting trip" again.
She was sitting cross-legged on a small round inflatable boat.
The boat was so small that it was almost like a seat. As long as she stretched out her arms, she could reach into the water outside the boat. Her boat was rocked by the current, and every time it was rushed forward, it would hit the railing.
The wooden fence on the river was knocked back again.
She didn't expect that the copy assembly line was really an "assembly" line.
Next to Lin Sanjiu and behind him, there were one after another identical round red inflatable boats. In each boat, an ordinary person - or should I say, a temporary evolver - was sitting on the water waves.
The inflatable boats would bump into each other from time to time, then rotate and separate again, waiting for the next time the water flow decided to follow them.
For those who have reached this point, perhaps no one can take their attention away at this time, or perhaps they are tired from surprise, fear, and doubt. For a while, there is only the dull sound of boats colliding with each other and the sound of rushing water on the river, but
No one spoke.
Lin Sanjiu knew without looking that every pair of eyes were like hers, staring ahead; they were like racehorses before the starting signal, waiting silently and uneasily for the guardrail to open and let them out.
.
But unlike horse racing, none of them know what kind of fate awaits them ahead.
... At this time, on the river in front of you, as far as you can see, there are copies one after another; the copies are sticking their heads out from both sides of the river above the river, and they are also staring at the coming people without blinking, as if they are all ready to attack.
Opened his mouth.
Even amid the loud sound of the river waves, Lin Sanjiu could still hear the faint whimpering of someone behind her when she was too nervous.
"What are those..." someone from behind asked in a murmur. His voice quickly disappeared into the sound of water waves, and no one answered him.
Ordinary people generally have never experienced dungeons. Just because they are in the Twelve Realms, they have naturally heard about what dungeons are like. But in terms of actually seeing dungeons with their own eyes, I am afraid that this is the first time today - not to mention, there are so many of them.
Closest to the guardrail, on the river twenty or thirty meters ahead, two huge palms wrapped in snow-white gloves stretched out from the river bank to the left and right into the middle of the river, like a giant trying to block the flow of water from the river with both hands.
Things that come down from the top.
Sometimes the tree-trunk-like fingers were raised high, and sometimes they were only a head away from the river. When the waves started to hit, they even splashed on the gloves - but they couldn't get them wet.
With every opening and closing, swinging, and overlapping of the fingers, the sunlight reflects on the snow-white gloves, floating like pieces of transparent film, and the undulating reflection seems to be because the mucus between the fingers has been stretched thin and opened, just waiting.
Hitting the prey.
Even Lin Sanjiu saw a copy of this form for the first time; her eyes followed the gloves outwards, trying to see what they were connected to, but she soon fell into the dense thickets on both sides of the river bank.
Nothing could be seen in the woods.
Behind the snow-white palms, on the right bank dozens of meters away from them, is a tin teapot that is three stories high. It looks like a toy in an amusement park equipped with automatic mechanisms. Every three to five minutes, it
It would slowly lower its waist and sink the teapot spout to the river. Often when the teapot spout was halfway down, it seemed to sense that there was no one on the river, so it would lift it up again.
Lin Sanjiu looked at it and was surprised that he didn't hear the jingle bell music - it looked like a large-scale cartoon prop.
Not all the dungeons waiting by the river bank have been enlarged; for example, a lighthouse in the distance is still at a normal height.
It cuts through the dense woods on the river bank high, standing straight and white under the blue sky. Even in the early morning light, the light on the lighthouse is still on, staring at this group of ordinary people like an eye.
direction - just a few minutes ago, the lighthouse had not "seen" them and the lights had not come on.
It felt as if the time for them to open the gate was not far away; like an inexplicable illusion, Lin Sanjiu could even feel the... excitement of the replicas.
When a river wave came and hit Lin Sanjiu's inflatable boat against the wooden guardrail again, she stretched out her arms to grab it and held on tightly; even if it was only 6%, she was still better than ordinary people.
Now that he is much stronger, he can withstand the rushing water of the river with one hand and leans tightly against the wooden guardrail, finally saving himself from being knocked back and forth.
"Please, someone give me a push," someone finally broke the silence, pleading to someone unknown, "I want to go ashore, I don't want to go forward..."
It seems that even ordinary people feel that something is wrong?
"Where did you go ashore?" An older man immediately replied, "Look, the river bank is full of woods... Are we still walking in the clouds here?"
"Even if I live in the woods from now on, it will still be better than... and better than..." Another trembling voice sounded.
"Well, I think," a female voice said hurriedly, as if she was not confident: "The copies on the river bank can't be endless, they have to have a head, right? If we can hide away and not be caught by the copies next to us, right?
...That's it..."
This man did have some eyesight; Lin Sanjiu turned around to follow the sound, and his eyes fell on a girl in her twenties with a pair of phoenix eyes.
She was obviously not used to being watched by several people at the same time. When she was waiting to speak, she suddenly felt a little flustered and had stage fright. When someone questioned her, "How do you hide?", she hurriedly said: "We have a boat."
, row the boat and hide from underneath, that...I think the gloves are like this..."
Indeed, judging from the performance of the gloves and teapot, it seems that if they want to capture people into the dungeon, they must have close enough contact - an ordinary person who has never entered the dungeon can still notice this at the moment, which is indeed not the case.
easy.
However, sometimes this is the case. Even if what you say is the truth, if you lack confidence like this girl and are even a little incoherent, no one will take your words seriously - and the reverse is also true.
"What, that won't work, can you still cross the copy?" someone muttered; everyone turned their attention away.
The first person to ask for help seemed not to hear anything, and kept whispering to the people around him to push him to the shore; finally a loud and powerful voice answered him, "I will push you up." - Lin Sanjiu
He turned his head hurriedly and was about to say something. At this moment, the wooden guardrail suddenly opened to both sides.
The river, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, finally waited for an opportunity to wash away the crowd; the white waves roared and rushed away one after another inflatable boats, and the crowd whirled and drifted amidst the screams, and they were all involuntarily swept forward.
...Except Lin Sanjiu.
Her inflatable boat followed the opened wooden guardrail and turned to the side of the river; she was gritting her teeth at this time and could only hold on to the wooden guardrail with one hand to resist the pouring river water. With the other hand, she could not
Not using it as a "cushion cushion" - whenever someone's inflatable boat hits her, she has to be quick and clear to block the boat and push it away to prevent herself from being knocked out too.
Amidst the splashing waves, roaring water and bursts of screams, she couldn't see or hear anything clearly for a while. She just stared at every ship that hit her like a machine.
When Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand towards a red inflatable boat again, she only heard a voice shouting "Wait!" - She looked up in the waves of the water and found that it was the girl with phoenix eyes just now.
"Don't push me away," she shouted repeatedly. The inflatable boat swayed in the current, but never rushed forward. "I also grabbed the guardrail..."
Her strength was far inferior to that of Lin Sanjiu. Even if she grasped the guardrail tightly with both hands, it was still very difficult. Her face turned blood red, but her hands were frighteningly pale. If Lin Sanjiu had pushed again just now, she would most likely have followed.
Other inflatable boats were swept into the river.
Lin Sanjiu nodded towards her. The next time an inflatable boat hit the Fengyan girl, she reached out to hold Fengyan's boat and finally prevented her from being knocked out.
Inflatable boats spun and rushed out from the two of them; occasionally someone was inspired and reached out to grab their boat, but was washed away because the round plastic boat was slippery and there was no place to start.
.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, clung to the wooden guardrail, both craning their necks to look at the river - the red inflatable boat that was washed away first looked like red donuts floating on the river.
.The huge palm next to the river bank, as if its appetite was aroused, suddenly opened it and grabbed it on the river, and several red boats disappeared into the white snow.
"My name is Duck Down," the girl with phoenix eyes panted and shouted amidst the sound of water waves, "Thank you, big brother!"
