"...If I had known that one day I would have to walk so many miles, I might as well have let that ********* bite me to death.︽"
Under the scorching dazzling sunlight, with every step Lin Sanjiu took, bursts of choking dust particles would be stirred up in the dry air. Looking out, there was nothing in these blocks——
All the buildings, streets, and man-made facilities have somehow turned into a thick layer of yellow sand and dust, which has accumulated up to people's calves. When you step on it, under the strong dust and smoke, it is like stepping into
Just like falling into quicksand, it takes a lot of effort to pull the foot out.
Walking in such an environment is already a very uncomfortable thing; but coupled with the constant complaints from Qingjiuli and the new tricks, it really requires special endurance.
Lin Sanjiu covered her mouth and tried not to ask about the story between him and ********.
"Really, how did you end up in a place like this," Qingjiuru muttered, and the liquid level in the bottle of whiskey in his hand suddenly dropped a little - which immediately interrupted his words. He puffed up his mouth.
, he gargled his mouth with wine with great enjoyment, and then reluctantly swallowed it - just as soon as the whiskey was in his stomach, he immediately opened his mouth again: "... I guess, the cigarette shop is not here, right?
, otherwise wouldn’t even the store have turned into yellow sand long ago?”
"Then why don't you give me a more detailed description?" Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow, "The tobacco shop was originally on the side of a road, with a telephone pole next to it - this is nonsense."
Qingjiu Liu stopped talking. For a long time, he just sighed, and the wine in the bottle made another gurgling sound.
【The ray of hope for bankrupt alcoholics】
People who have never been addicted to something cannot understand the feeling of scratching their livers and lungs and feeling uncomfortable all over! When there is no alcohol and no money, it seems that there is only one thing that can be thought of going back and forth in the mind.
...It's so painful! It's okay to smoke cigarettes. You can always buy a few packs of rags from the seller's house; but for fine wine and fine wine, the money in your pocket is just a drop in the bucket...
If only you could drink the wine by touching it through the bottle - one day, a certain alcoholic really developed such a skill.
Since the initial target is wine, this ability can only allow the drunkard to remove the liquid inside through some kind of obstruction: remove the wine through the bottle, remove the blood through the skin, remove urine through the bladder...
...Of course, probably no one wants the last thing. All the liquid that is drained must enter the body of the owner of the ability - that is to say, the drunkard can only drain the amount of liquid that his body can hold; if it is a whole
If it is human blood, then he himself will explode first. For this risk, the drunkard is happy with it.
ps: This ability can ignore the effects of mixing different blood types. After all, no matter what kind of blood you have, it will turn into alcohol in Qingjiure's body.
"Anyway, I'll be able to recognize it when I get there." After Lin Sanjiu pressed him again, Qingjiu Liu muttered and added: "...I want to find the place earlier than you do.
"
It was like tying a carrot in front of the donkey's eyes. Every once in a while, Lin Sanjiu would take out a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes to hang him up and continue walking; if he encountered someone selling cigarettes and alcohol again,
In the convenience store, she had to fight with Qing Jiuli to put away all the new cigarettes and alcoholic beverages - fortunately, as long as she paid attention to his hands, Lin Sanjiu never lost again.
In this way, the two of them walked through most of the city bit by bit - I would say most of it, but the boundaries of the city had long been blurred by the erosion of the doomsday, and they didn't know the exact range; it just passed two days in a row,
I didn't see the dark blue building either.
The further they walked, the more Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel anxious.
Such a long time has passed, and it is almost impossible for Ji Shanqing to still stay in the building. Although he does not know what happened to the other party, the only thing he can do now seems to be to search in the building first.
See if there are any clues he left behind.
...if she could still find the building.
After claiming to a certain telegraph pole for the seventh time, "This pole looks familiar," Qingjiu Liu took advantage of the situation and sat down on the side of the road, insisting on resting before walking any further.
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to sit down together; after thinking about it, she asked Qingjiu to stay in the [recorder] and record a recording of "Immune to Crypt Particles"——
Since similar abilities can only be used once, she decided to save this until the last minute.
"I really don't know how you survived the apocalypse." Lin Sanjiu glanced at Qing Jiuliu - the latter was lying on the sidewalk with a drunken smell, looking as if he was either about to fall asleep or about to die.
"What world is this for you?"
The man, overwhelmed by his beard and hair, raised his hand for a long time and made a surprising "six" sign.
"It's just a matter of surviving. What's so difficult about it?" he said inarticulately. "I've been living softly and drunk for such a long time... but it's not easy to die."
"You want to die?"
"Oh, that's not the case." The wine in the bottle suddenly dropped a bit, and Qingjiu Liu murmured: "...Everyone has to die, I just hope that my death can be in alcohol, cigarettes, soft beds and...
Come in sleep - Forget it girls, they will be sad if I die."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't think of anyone who would feel sad for him - and they were plural.
The two of them chatted for a few words. I don't know if it was because of the anxiety and pressure in her heart, or because she hadn't even drank a sip of water in the past few days. She took a sip of her hand, which was as dry and pale as an old leather sofa.
She sighed deeply and closed her mouth - after all, every word she spoke was like a knife cutting her dry, empty throat.
"Why don't you drink water?" Qingjiuli suddenly asked, and then waved his hand: "...Forget it, I actually don't care too much."
"...Nonsense, won't you go crazy if you drink it?" Lin Sanjiu still answered even though many lines passed through his mind.
"Have you ever drunk? Have you gone crazy? Or have you seen others drinking and gone crazy?"
"No - but once exposed to the air..."
"Who said that?" Qingjiuru suddenly sat up. He took out a cigarette and lit it. As if he wanted her to see clearly, he put the cigarette into his mouth. "Look, according to the theory of crypt particles,
For example, if I put a cigarette in my mouth, I should have gone crazy."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned - she had always subconsciously thought that cigarettes were not considered food, so she didn't think about it in this aspect; now that he reminded her, it seemed that this was indeed the case...
"Furthermore, if you breathe directly through your mouth and nose, it stands to reason that you will also ingest crypt particles, but people are fine." She frowned and muttered to herself.
"So, the rules of this world are a bit strange. It's okay to drink water, but not wine." Qingjiuru sighed regretfully, and his voice gradually became lower: "...in the tangy aroma of wine.
, putting the cool glass bottle mouth on your lips. It’s a ritual.”
Lin Sanjiu didn't say a word. All his mind was immersed in an idea that just came to his mind.
Water is fine, but alcohol is not. Cigarettes and breathing are fine.
Food and wine have something in common, breath and water have something in common...
She couldn't help but trembled when she thought of this.
If my guess is correct, then even if there is a way to remove the crypt particles on the surface of the food, I am afraid that eating it will still lead to mental disorder——
Raising her head, Lin Sanjiu was about to say something to Qing Jiuliu, but then she couldn't help but be stunned.
The other person had fallen asleep at some point - he was just lying on the ground carefree, with his belly exposed in front of a stranger, and snoring heavily.
Lin Sanjiu shook her head and sighed.
At the moment, it seems that there is no need to take this guy with him, since he can't find a place anyway.
But we can't just leave it alone.
She dragged Qing Jiu, who was sleeping soundly, to a small cubicle with an ATM machine on the side of the road. Although the cubicle had been smashed into a mess, even the machine had become a piece of junk covered with wires.
It was a piece of iron, but at least half of the door was still blocked - after he stuffed the dead pig-like man into the door and stood up, Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
...It is said that there is no place to be found even if one wears iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
When she was sitting on the ground just now, her line of sight was blocked by another building. Now she stood up and changed her angle. With a glance, the dark blue, slightly slanted building in the distance fell into the forest.
In Sanjiu's vision.
Unexpectedly, Kiyokuru was finally right for once!
Lin Sanjiu's heartbeat suddenly jumped a few times, but she took two steps back and looked around. Seeing that there seemed to be no one on the surrounding streets, she called out two bottles of wine and a cigarette from the card library.
, placed it at Qingjiuru's feet, and then walked slowly and warily through the block towards the office building.
The building was shorter and more crooked than the previous impression, and the bottom was obviously shattered by the impact. Although it makes no sense to say this, it looked like it was accidentally unsteady when it fell from the sky and hit the building.
It's like it's broken...
Thinking about it this way, the cigarette shop seems to have the same impact marks.
The few blocks nearby are relatively well-preserved. Except for the shops along the street that have been smoked into a coke-like black color by fireworks, and from time to time, a cry can be heard from afar, but they look vaguely reminiscent.
The illusion before the end.
When Lin Sanjiu had just walked past a convenience store, she suddenly stopped at the corner.
After turning this corner and walking straight for a few hundred meters, there was that building - but instead of moving forward, Lin Sanjiu gently took two steps back; with a slight wave of her hand, [Tornado Whip] immediately came from her
His fingers hung down.
As if she realized that her whereabouts had been exposed - a huge shadow suddenly rushed out from behind the corner, and hit a small tornado she released; the two quickly covered half of the sky, entangled and colliding with each other -
—The tornado screamed and struggled in the air for a few times, but was quickly swallowed up by the shadow at an unimaginable speed.
As soon as the wind in the air disappeared, Lin Sanjiu immediately took a few steps back and saw clearly that the shadow floating in the air was actually a piece of red velvet cloth, which actually looked a bit like a stage curtain in a theater.
"Hey, you can find me here," a child-like, tender voice came from behind the corner - but when the person walked out, it was a short man with a huge forehead. He looked at
As Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows, several dense forehead lines suddenly appeared on her forehead, which was about the size of a brick: "...I obviously have my body and aura covered, right?"
Indeed - in fact, Lin Sanjiu didn't notice anyone behind the corner at all. She only walked halfway when she suddenly felt uncomfortable all over and just didn't want to go any further - speaking of it, she couldn't even remember how many times this was the first time she'd been hit by someone.
My own intuition saved me.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Sanjiu lowered his chin coldly, and with a slight movement of his hand, he replaced it with a [high-frequency particle vibration cutting knife].
The short man opposite her only reached her shoulders and should not be more than 1.6 meters tall. Although he spoke with a childish voice, his wrinkled, rough black skin made him look anywhere from forty to sixty years old.
It's possible - the short man looked at the knife in her hand and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction: "If you don't do anything, I'll cripple you so I can ask you questions."
"It makes sense." Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly. As he spoke, the figure disappeared from the place with a "snap" - without even having time to raise his eyes, the short man was already covered by a shadow cast above his head.
Covered.
Although he could speak harsh words loudly, his skills were indeed not very good. Just when the knife in Lin Sanjiu's hand was about to remove one of his shoulders, the short man finally reacted and shouted in panic
She shouted "Closed!" - then, a burst of red spread out of nowhere and instantly swallowed up the long knife in her hand.
The [High Frequency Particle Oscillation Cutting Knife], which can cut even diamonds, immediately stopped buzzing when rolled up by this thick and soft velvet fabric, and did not even cut the piece of fabric.
——As if she was stuck in a quagmire, Lin Sanjiu tried her best to pull it out several times; when her body fell heavily to the ground, the long knife had been submerged and completely disappeared into the piece of red velvet.
middle.
"Hahaha, come again," the short man had to get up from the ground awkwardly, but he couldn't hide his excitement: "Do you have any other special items? Let me see them all."
Lin Sanjiu stared at the red velvet in mid-air, her expression a little ugly.
The short man chuckled, and every wrinkle overflowed with confidence; then, he suddenly shouted a meaningless word without looking back, which made her startled——
"Don't you want to go see another candidate? You can leave first. By the time you come back, I will have finished my work here." The short man said, looking at Lin Sanjiu and smiling.
Is there anyone else here? Candidate?
Lin Sanjiu was startled. When she looked up hurriedly, she saw another figure leaping up from the rooftop in the distance - she thought her speed was already fast, but she was still covered in pain from that person's movements.
Chilled; I glanced this way without saying a word, and in the next moment, the man had completely disappeared into this space, and I couldn't even tell the direction he was going.
In a hurry, Lin Sanjiu could only vaguely see the man's snake-like yellow eyes. (To be continued.)
