The twilight was weak, and finally completely dissipated from the billowing white mist. The night followed, like an airtight cover, tightly covering the land, leaving no trace of light. The people in each arena
The settings all came to an end with Twilight's exit: the stone pillars got lower little by little, the runway dividing line was smoothed out, and the competition facilities retracted into the earth one after another.
After all the competition facilities were recovered, those who died in various competitions but were lucky enough to leave a corpse were left in a mess on the ground. The wind and sand in the dark night blew on the skin of the corpse, making it gray and yellow.
The ground couldn't tell each other apart; but gradually, the corpses were like bubbles, disappearing to no one knows where.
The living evolvers all retreated to the rest area, and the Olympics became empty again, with the wind blowing across the endless plains, sounding distant and lonely.
On the entire planet, there was only one circular resting area that was still lit with dots of warm orange firelight; the remaining continents and oceans were immersed in deep darkness.
"Can't we stay outside after the game is over?"
After seeing another group of players staggering into the stone wall, Lin Sanjiu turned to Fatty Bai and asked as the stone wall rumbled together.
Polva's ability was not enough for him to pull the body back to the size of a locomotive in one breath; after three or four layers, he stopped at the image of a strong, fat man over two meters tall.
Beside the two of them, the Queen of Soul curled up into a ball of flesh, lying next to the feet of the fat white man.
"Yes, yes, but what's the benefit of staying outside?" Fatty White replied in a buzzing voice: "It's cold, dark, and no one...and there are many homeless people, so it's very unsafe."
With each additional layer of his body, he became more courageous; now, even though Bolwa knew that the puppet master was coming soon, she still dared to stay with Lin Sanjiu - of course, only until
That's all until he shows up.
"Have you met Mu Xin?"
"Yes," Polva responded immediately. "After I told him what you said, he let out a long sigh."
"What did he say to this guy?" Lin Sanjiu asked, pointing to the birdcage behind him.
"He said, you don't need to worry about how to deal with him afterwards. You should think more about how to clean everything on him without letting him come out." Polva's mouth was half open and she frowned.
Frowning, he recalled Mu Xin's original words, and it was a bit difficult to retell them: "... He said that you took him out of the competition area, and he is now out of the competition. He estimates that as soon as this big brother comes out of the bird cage,
, will soon become the target of Olympic punishment..."
"So that's it, that's good!" Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell into her stomach - this question had been lingering in her mind all day.
She couldn't let the bald man go, but she felt a little reluctant to kill him. If the two of them fought openly, she could kill the enemy without mercy; but once the enemy lost the ability to move, she would not let him go.
If she goes to kill him, she will start to hesitate.
When the apocalypse first came, she was unable to kill Chen Xiaoyuan who was tied up. Now that she has experienced five or six apocalyptic worlds, this has not changed for her.
She can accept that the enemy is punished by the Olympics because of her, but she cannot accept that she kills the incapacitated enemy with her own hands. How and where the line between the two is drawn is drawn carefully.
If you think about it, it's very subtle.
Of course Lin Sanjiu wouldn't think about it deeply - she took a breath, turned around, and looked at the rest area again.
This was not the first night she had spent in the rest area, but whenever night fell, the area was swept away by the desolation of the day, and she was still dazzled by the vitality and brilliance it radiated.
Take today as an example. After listening to the gift package, she took the Queen of Soul to the meeting place first and has been waiting here for an hour or two. However, the evolvers coming and going in the rest area seemed to be still...
Can constantly show surprises that she has never seen before.
Compared with the twelve central realms, this place is not particularly prosperous; but after being on the verge of death for a day and enduring all kinds of unimaginable torture, this warm and reassuring popularity becomes particularly precious.
——
"Hot bread with various fillings! It's open, it's open!"
A high-pitched shout drew Lin Sanjiu's attention to the distance.
At night, shelters like big umbrellas will be erected in the rest area. Under the round umbrella canopies of the shelters, evolutionists spread out and sell various supplies: those with good physical strength
, just shuttle back and forth among the crowd; those who have not recovered their physical strength will sit under the "big umbrella" and spread out a piece of cloth.
Under the canopy of each large umbrella, an orange-red flame danced gracefully; the firelight passed through the glass of the lampshade and was refracted at night, casting layers of warm light into the air in the rest area.
The firelight shines on the bread in the evolver's box, making each loaf of different shapes look the same bright, oily, red and plump, even exuding hot steam and sweet fragrance in the night——
Of course, this can't be freshly baked.
No matter what kind of special items made these breads, they seemed to be very popular; a few evolvers who had been sitting nearby seemed to be waiting for them, and as soon as the seller set aside, they immediately formed a circle.
Go up.
"Deep sleep," someone shouted vaguely in the crowd, sounding far away: "This is the effect of my ability, who needs it? The price is very reasonable, as long as you use a continuous one..."
His request was drowned in the night wind and human voices, and Lin Sanjiu did not hear it clearly. However, after she walked around twice, she heard another commotion break out in that direction, and someone cursed loudly: "Three
Seconds of deep sleep are useless!"
In addition to exchanging food and ability effects, daily necessities and special items are also very popular. There was a thin man carrying a pair of men's running shoes that were burned by the flames. He went up to sell them to everyone he saw;
After this time, she actually approached Lin Sanjiu. She was a little tempted at first, but when she looked away from the flames, she saw that the running shoes were one size smaller than her feet, so she had to give up.
Even service products can be found here - a woman wearing a gauze robe with peach-pink lips and cheeks has a long queue under the big umbrella; those who are kissed by her on the lips The bones of the male and female evolvers seemed to be about to melt, and they walked away softly. I don’t know what the role was. But the woman was also very strict, and she refused to accept anyone she didn’t like. No service provided.
The aromas of various foods, spices, tobacco and alcohol, and the odor of people's sweat were all bundled together, and then blown far away by the night wind. Whispers, shouts, scolds, chats and laughs, and coaxing The ground was a mess, glowing with heat. Of course, those who could walk and talk either had super physical strength and recovered well, or there was no competition today; those who could not recover were leaning in the shadows of the corners, dying like corpses.
Lin Sanjiu was carrying a man trapped in a birdcage on her back, followed by a strong man more than two meters tall, and an unknown creature crouched under her feet - this appearance was a natural sign for her. After earning a big umbrella, no one came to squeeze her or ask when she was leaving, even though she had been sitting here for a long time.
But after waiting for such a long time, she didn't wait for the puppet master or the gift bag, so she simply took out her own [Demae Itcho Noodles].
As soon as the noodles in this special item were finished, another bowl of hot noodles could be filled immediately; coupled with the attractive aroma of instant noodles, even though it had no auxiliary effect, she still sold several bowls quickly—— The rewards she received were also various, all of which were small trinkets of little value: a handful of shiny stones that were said to be able to guide the way; a piece of hand-written paper with several thoughts on the competition, a piece of paper that could only be used when she was sad. I ate fresh meat sausages, and also had a [Mighty and shocking power in all directions, omnipotent and the most powerful weapon in the apocalypse].
To be honest, seeing that its owner was willing to exchange it for a bowl of noodles, Lin Sanjiu didn't have much confidence in this thing.
After several bowls of noodles in a row, it was fun to ask her to sell noodles. Just when she said "Hot noodle soup!", the shout suddenly became unusually loud - because everyone under the big umbrella nearby suddenly became quiet. .
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that Bolwa had disappeared without knowing it. She suddenly understood. As people hurriedly retreated with their heads lowered, two shadows one after the other appeared. Gradually getting closer from a distance.
Even the warm firelight and the aroma of bread could not soften the gloomy and cold appearance of the puppet master in the slightest.
"Want to eat noodles?" Lin Sanjiu raised the noodle bowl and greeted the two of them.
"Sister!" Ji Shanqing gave a wry smile and hurried over in a few steps, "We have a lot to talk about. You put the soup noodles first... What kind of flavor is this?"
