If you only look at it with the naked eye, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky at this moment seems to be no different from previous summers. The dazzling sunshine casts down from the blue sky and reaches the world, revealing the shocking scenery.
vicious.
Every street was littered with human corpses covered in burns, shrunken and curled up in balls. The buildings cracked under the high temperature, and some houses of poor quality had long since collapsed into small mountain-like fragments.
The ground is cracked, and occasionally a relatively healthy fallen species can be seen wandering among the ruins. In just over a month, the outside world has lost even a little bit of popularity. It is hard to believe that this is actually happening.
It was also a highly developed human civilization society.
The air is dry and hot, and I don't know where all the evaporated rivers, lakes and seas have gone. Looking around, there is no greenery anywhere as far as the eye can see. Wherever the truck rumbles past, it will immediately roll over.
Waves of thick yellow dust smoke half a man's height arose, making it almost difficult to see.
Lin Sanjiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the truck, couldn't help but glance in the rearview mirror.
Behind her, there was another large freight truck of the same model, followed closely by a long bus. This was not the focus of Lin Sanjiu's eyes. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully.
Look at the black smoke rising in the sky in the distance.
The place where the black smoke rose was the shopping mall that had housed them for a month.
After living here for so long, I finally had to leave... Lin Sanjiu's thoughts couldn't help but go back to a month ago.
After Lin Sanjiu accidentally discovered the packed supermarket warehouse, the three of them were so happy - they didn't even need to count, they could tell just by looking at the food and water stored in the warehouse.
It will definitely be enough for them to last for 14 months. And living in an underground supermarket without having to worry about direct sunlight is really ideal!
The only problem is the small forest of tropical plants in the lobby outside.
After all, people are still greedy for comfort-a few people discussed it and felt that judging from the current situation, as long as they stay locked up in the underground supermarket, the plant forest outside can't do anything to them. It just so happened that they have been there for several days in a row.
It was thrilling and consumed a lot of their energy. In the name of rest and adjustment, the three of them simply settled down in the supermarket.
This recuperation lasted for more than two weeks. Since they had no worries about food and drink, once the iron gate was closed, and there were no foreign enemies, the three of them lived a comfortable life for the first time in the new world - so much so that the two
Three weeks later, Lin Sanjiu accidentally pinched her waist and discovered that she had gained weight.
This little bit of excess fat was like a wake-up call - it wasn't that Lin Sanjiu was still worried about her good-looking figure at the end of the world, but that she suddenly thought of a saying in her Chinese language class in middle school, "Born by worries, but dead by worries."
Peace."
Thinking about it carefully, in the past two or three weeks, I have never generated any abilities, and the advanced abilities are still the same, with no meaning of evolution at all. It is not easy to say that generating abilities is not easy, but in the new world
In the first few days after her arrival, despite many crises, she quickly generated a comprehensive increase in physical fitness - indicating that the current time span is definitely abnormal.
With this idea in mind, Lin Sanjiu discussed with the other two people and immediately decided to send two people out to patrol every day - for safety reasons, but also to exercise themselves.
It was a good idea, but I didn't expect that as soon as the iron door was opened, the three of them were stunned.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when the door opened, but the elevator leading to the lobby on the first floor was still shrouded in thick darkness.
Lin Sanjiu looked ahead stupidly and asked in a low voice: "Does the sun set so early now?"
Lu Ze was stunned and speechless. Suddenly, Mather stretched out her hand and shouted, "Look!" Lin Sanjiu and Lu Ze looked in the direction she pointed, and their internal organs were immediately chilled——
The darkness covering the elevator moved slightly as if it felt something. It didn't matter. A bit of sunlight immediately filtered in, revealing half of the green branches and leaves. Only then did the three of them realize,
The reason why it is dark outside the iron gate is because it is blocked by plants.
Then, more and more shadows began to move. Dozens of densely packed green vines, large and small, seemed to have smelled human scent. They came to life one by one, slowly moving towards the iron gate.
He looked over in the direction. He didn't know who shouted first. None of the three people dared to delay. They turned around and rushed back to the supermarket, pulling down the iron door with a clang.
Green vines crackled against the iron door, and several bulges were dented in the heavy iron door.
It seems that if I go out and wander around a few more times, this iron door will no longer hold up.
Back in the supermarket, the expressions on the three people's faces were extremely ugly. No one expected that so quickly, they would go from actively avoiding the world to now being unable to get out even if they wanted to.
"We can't stay in this place anymore..." Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "What do you think we should do now?"
"Even if you want to leave, you must take the things in the warehouse with you." Mather said through gritted teeth.
"It's not difficult to bring things. Let's find a few big trucks outside and move as many as we can. The problem is...how do we get out now? The only passage is blocked by those ghost Fujikos."
Lin Sanjiu asked with a sad face.
The three of them were quiet for a while, and Lu Ze suddenly said "Ah", and then a carp jumped up, turned around and ran towards the back of the supermarket, shouting loudly as he ran: "The elevator entrance is not the only way! Xiaojiu, you put it there
Take the key! There is a door at the back!"
This sentence reminded Mather, she clapped her hands and her face suddenly brightened: "Yes! How could I forget that!" Lin Sanjiu was pulled, and they hurriedly followed.
Within a few seconds, the three people were standing at the back door of the supermarket. Ever since Lin Sanjiu appeared from the staff room, Lu Ze and Mather had completely forgotten about the back door. Lin Sanjiu
This was the first time I realized that there was a back door that led to who knows where.
She prayed silently and opened the door with the key.
God treated them well - there was a narrow slope behind the door. When they walked out of the slope, they found themselves standing with a row of huge trash cans at the back of the shopping mall. This seemed to be a supermarket.
The place where employees clean tools and dispose of garbage. Walking out from here, you will soon see a small road.
Looking at the shopping center covered with green buds through the glass, it was the first time for several people to think that the cracked and blackened road was so cute.
What needs to be done next is very clear.
First of all, we need to find three cars. Finding cars is not difficult - almost 80% of the people are dead, and the city is full of cars with keys inserted and abandoned by people who have used up their gas and electricity. Almost.
Without much effort, the three people found two large freight trucks and a bus.
I took the battery from the auto repair shop and replaced it, and added several full boxes of oil from the gas station. The car finally started to move. I drove all three large cars onto the small road in one go, squeezing each other.
It was easy to park side by side.
Three cars were filled with water from the supermarket, and there was still a lot left in the warehouse. However, a few people were not greedy. There was enough in the car, and the rest was piled on both sides of the street, leaving
to other survivors.
Before leaving, Lin Sanjiu brought a few barrels of gasoline, and Lu Ze and Mather prepared a whole box of wine.
"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu held a heavy brick and smiled at her companions. Seeing the two men nodding, she shouted: "Okay, let's start throwing!"
As Lu Ze shouted excitedly, bricks, stones, chairs, and all kinds of things hit the glass doors and windows of the shopping mall covered with green plants like a meteor shower——
A series of crisp sounds resounded through half the street - glass fragments fell from the air like rain, shining with countless bright lights in the dark night sky.
The branches covering the glass were frightened and swayed in the air, not knowing who to attack for a moment. But before they could follow the human scent and find the culprit, bottles after bottles of spirits followed.
, barrels of gasoline flew in through the broken glass, fell on the plants, and immediately splashed everywhere.
The last step of arson requires some skills - Mather, the fastest and lightest among the three, held four or five polished matches in his hand and rushed to the door of the shopping mall like a rabbit.
With a flick of the hand, a few lights fell far into the green.
The flames spread hissingly, not fast, but very firmly. Soon, the first floor was filled with a bright red flame - before it burned for five minutes, there was a sound coming from the lobby of the shopping mall.
There was a sharp scream, as if something was hurt, and all the leaves flapped wildly.
For some reason, Lin Sanjiu felt a sense of joy that she had not seen for a long time - she laughed a few times, waved to the two people beside her, and said loudly: "Let's withdraw!" After speaking, she started,
The first one ran out.
A few people had just ran out of a street, when they heard a loud "boom", the top glass of the shopping mall was burned down, pressing down with an unstoppable force, and half of the building disappeared in the flames.
Trucks and buses were parked far away early in the morning. Three people each drove a car and embarked on an unknown journey under the last starlight before sunrise...
Shaking his head, Lin Sanjiu shook the scenes of last night out of his mind.
She glanced at the rearview mirror again with a solemn face, then turned on the taillights, and the large truck slowed down slowly and pulled over to the side of the road.
Behind him, the truck driven by Luze and the bus driven by Mather also slowed down and stopped.
"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Lu Ze rolled up the car window and shouted in the direction of Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu pushed open the car door, jumped out, and stood in the middle of the road, holding a police baton in his hand.
"Someone is following us." She frowned, enduring the yellow sand in the air.
