The young girl's tender and springy flesh was deeply embedded in Ren Nan's mouth, and the gurgling blood that exuded the rusty smell dyed his chin red. With just a slight push, Lin Jiu's fragile life would disappear forever.
in the world.
But Ren Nan didn't move. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat the good seed in front of him, but that he couldn't move. There was a chef's knife stuck deep in the back of his head, up to the handle.
There was still a hint of excitement in Ren Nan's snow-white eyes - he would never understand until his death why Lin Jiu died after struggling pointlessly in the air with his empty hands.
For a moment, the only thing in Lin Jiu's ears was her own heartbeat, which sounded like a drum, thumping, thumping under the heavy dead body - she endured the severe pain in her neck, pushed Ren Nan hard, and with a bang,
The heavy corpse fell to the ground on its back. The knife inserted in the back of Ren Nan's head was pushed like this, and the tip of the knife popped out of his wide-open mouth.
Lin Jiu covered her neck, one of which had turned blood red. She gasped for air, kicked the corpse on the ground, and cursed softly in a hoarse voice: "...Who said I could only evolve...
Two characteristics?" Just saying these words, the severe pain in her throat was already unbearable for her.
Just after such a kick, Lin Jiu suddenly felt her vision go dark and almost fell down - the dizziness caused by blood loss came faster than she thought. She couldn't care about anything else, dressing the wound was the most important thing at the moment
Yes, she stumbled to find a towel and pressed the wound tightly. Panting, she sat down on the floor again and pressed the towel tightly with all her strength.
The piercing sound of police sirens rang out one after another in the city; vaguely, it was also accompanied by the screams and cries of people - making the apartment on the 8th floor even more silent than death.
After being semi-conscious and semi-awake for a long time, the bleeding finally stopped - it seemed that Lin Jiu's life should not be cut off, and her arteries were not injured after all. After resting for a while, she also accumulated some strength and could barely support herself.
I got up and drank some water.
When he put down the water glass and raised his eyes, he saw Ren Nan's strange-shaped body, still lying quietly on the floor.
After thinking about it, Lin Jiu dragged her limp body to the side of the corpse. She shakily placed one on the corpse and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Put it away for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a white light flashed quickly in her palm, and the body with the sharp knife on the ground disappeared. With a "pop", a card the size of a playing card fell to the ground.
Lin Jiu took out the card and illuminated it.
Just as she expected, the simple crayon drawing on the card showed a man with his mouth wide open and a sharp knife stuck in his head. There was also a line of bold words written under the card: "Ren Nan's Corpse".
Name: Can’t you read the card title?
Race: human
Status:...dead
Potential: 204
Suspect: Lin Jiu
Basic abilities: extreme temperature adaptation, physical fitness increase, body modification
"What the hell are these things..." Lin Jiu stared at the card, not knowing what to say for a moment. This weird thing was the first ability she had evolved, and it had just saved her life tonight.
Life.
——As long as she is willing, Lin Jiu can transform all the items that her palm touches into cards and store them in her body. When she wants to use them, with just a thought, the cards will be restored to their original form in her palm.
Before, she deliberately grabbed a boning knife and threw the knife at Ren Nan, all in order to relax the opponent's vigilance. The real killing was when Lin Jiu was bitten by him, and she struggled to put it on her.
In the back of his mind, with a flash of thought, the "Chef's Knife" card hidden in Lin Jiu's body that morning turned into a sharp knife and pierced Ren Nan's brain deeply.
After several days of experiments, Lin Jiu discovered that he could only change items up to four times a day.
Although she was no stranger to the cards she created, this was the first time Lin Jiu had seen a card with such... rich content. She quickly turned it over, and sure enough, the back of the card was filled with densely written small words:
Ren Nan, male, 28 years old, comes from another "new world". He has been introverted since he was a child and has not been popular with girls. When he was in college, he actually received a confession from a male senior. After the arrival of the new world, he struggled to survive, as follows. In short
, after arriving in the world where the criminal suspect Lin Jiu is, Ren Nan ate a billionaire with a potential value of 2, took over his property, and approached the criminal suspect Lin Jiu purposefully. Just when he was about to eat
When he dropped Linjiu, he was killed by him.
"It's fine if you don't say what you need to say. Why do you call me 'criminal suspect' one by one?" Lin Jiu fiddled with the words with his finger, feeling a little depressed. The words immediately disappeared and another paragraph slipped out.
, appears on the card.
: In the sea of people, the discerning eye can identify seeds with high potential. Through close physical contact (kissing, hugging, etc.), this ability can stimulate the potential of ordinary humans, allowing them to evolve various abilities faster. As the saying goes
One takes advantage and the other does not suffer.
: After eating a person, the food's potential value, evolutionary ability, and physical fitness will be obtained to the greatest extent. Only balanced dietary nutrition can ensure a better tomorrow.
Note: The chef's knife in my head is made in Germany. It has a sharp edge, is light and strong, and was purchased from Jingxi Mall for 599 yuan.
If it weren't for the ability of "keen intuition", Lin Jiu would probably think that she was dreaming. She cursed in a low voice and didn't know what to do. She was not willing to put a corpse into her body.
After thinking about it, I had no choice but to put it in my pocket.
Ren Nan's card has his abilities written so clearly. I wonder if his card will also have abilities and an introduction to the so-called "new world"? Although this is an idea, Lin Jiu can't turn himself into a
Card - she rolled her eyes, stretched out a piece of hair, and said softly: "Put it away!"
A white light flashed, and there was another card.
Host: Lin Jiu
Hair quality: Black, healthy, slightly dry at the ends.
Function: It will be very annoying if it sticks to the broom.
Note: Depending on the condition of the hair roots, the owner of this hair may experience hair loss around the age of forty.
Damn it, it's of no use at all. Lin Jiu waved his hand sadly, white light flashed, and his hair disappeared into the darkness.
A hot new world...? She thought in a daze.
Fifty-six degrees Celsius... Even people like me who have evolved the ability to adapt to high temperatures are almost unbearable. I wonder what ordinary people are like?
Suddenly Lin Jiu started up and jumped up from the sofa. Zhu Mei! How come she almost forgot all her friends!
Thinking that Zhu Mei might be in danger now, Lin Jiu didn't care that he was still an injured person. He hurriedly found a backpack, rushed into the kitchen, and drank all the bottled water and drinks in the refrigerator.
After putting it in her bag and changing into light sportswear, she found the key, opened the emergency door of the apartment, and rushed into the dark stairwell.
Even though she was just going downstairs, Lin Jiu felt a little out of breath after descending eight floors in one breath. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a sip of water, and continued walking towards the negative floor.
Ren Nan's car - or rather, the car of the person he ate - was parked on the first floor. Zhu Mei's house was a full twenty minutes' drive away, and Lin Jiu had no intention of walking in such high temperatures.
go.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu was almost knocked over by the heat wave as soon as he stepped into the parking lot.
Looking at the parking lot in front of him, Lin Jiu blankly turned off his flashlight.
There is no need for electricity here.
At this time, the headlights of every car parked in the parking space were dazzlingly on, and all of them were in the starting state - the "rumbling" sound of starting was amplified dozens of times under the echo, filling the entire parking lot.
In the sky above the field, hundreds of exhaust pipes sprayed hot air outwards, turning the semi-enclosed parking lot into a veritable oven, which was at least four degrees higher than the outside.
Everyone who could come to the parking lot came. With the power outage in the city, humans who couldn't stand the harsh heat all hid in their cars - now only the air conditioners in the cars could still be turned on.
After taking only two steps in such hot air, Lin Jiu felt that the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat. In the cars she passed, behind every window were frightened and unfamiliar faces:
Some people were constantly trying to make phone calls; some were holding their children and crying uncontrollably; some had fallen asleep, wondering if they were dehydrated on the way to the parking lot. Others were staring in surprise.
She seemed to have no idea how she still had the strength to walk.
Although they are surrounded by car air-conditioning, many people's faces are still covered with a faint layer of despair. The air-conditioning in the car is just delaying time. Once the gas and electricity are used up, the terrifying high temperature outside the car will
, I’m afraid no one in this parking lot will survive.
Lin Jiu knew very well that she had no ability to help the people in these cars - she only had five bottles of mineral water, a can of Coke, and a few packs of band-aids in her backpack, which was just a little bit of water. She didn't know how long she would last.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Jiu endured the pity in his heart, and found the familiar Audi without looking away, and got into the car as if he was running away.
After thinking about it, she still didn't turn on the air conditioner, but just opened the car window. Anyway, she wouldn't die from the high temperature. At most, she would feel a little uncomfortable. She might as well save this precious gas and electricity for Zhu Mei's use - Lin Jiuma
I sweated a lot, turned the steering wheel, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Compared with the underground steamer in the parking lot, the 56° air outside actually made Lin Jiu feel a little better. The streets were empty, and there were almost no cars running - probably because no one wanted to waste precious gas and electricity.
.
The cars parked on both sides of the street were almost all running like in the parking lot; the people in the cars were enjoying the last bit of air-conditioning with fear and despair.
Just as Lin Jiu was speeding past a red Mazda, suddenly a black figure flew high from the right, hit the door of the Audi with a muffled "bang".
