This kind of heat would be unimaginable unless you were living in it - the sweat had just evaporated and dried up immediately, followed immediately by another layer of hot sweat. Lin Sanjiu felt that his body system seemed to have changed.
It became an old dog that was struggling to survive, huffing and puffing in the hot air.
In comparison, Lu Ze looked much stronger. Even though he was carrying Mather on his back, he still looked calmer than Lin Sanjiu. He noticed it himself and asked loudly: "Hey, you...
…Physically strong…?”
"What?" Lin Sanjiu also raised her voice and shouted. The sound of the car engines around her was too loud. Lu Ze was only on the other side of the car, so she couldn't hear clearly.
"I said -" Lu Ze walked around the car in a few steps and walked over. The man on his back was Mather, who was taller than him, and both of his feet were dragged on the ground. "Have you not been physically strengthened?"
Having just uttered two words, Lin Sanjiu felt that her tongue was dry, and it went all the way into her throat. She did not dare to speak again, so she shook her head and motioned for Lu Ze to leave quickly. Lu Ze looked surprised, as if
What do you want to say - but where is the time for small talk now? He nodded quickly and began to arduously walk through the traffic that was constantly spraying heat outwards.
Every few steps, Lin Sanjiu would raise her hands to wipe her eyelids. She was sweating too much, and the dripping into her eyes just now was so hot and uncomfortable that she couldn't help but doubt herself: Could it be that "high temperature"
Is "adaptation" time-sensitive? Otherwise, why was she not so hot at first, but now she is sweating like rain?
If this continues, can I still rush to the supermarket before dehydration?
The two of them looked around in silence - there was a guardrail in the middle of the road, which was intended to divide the traffic into two directions. But when the crisis came, there were too few people who could still abide by the traffic rules. At this time,
Cars on both sides were tangled up in a mess, some going forward, some going the wrong way...
If you climb over the guardrail, it will not only be a physical burden, but also the inconvenience of carrying Mather on your back, which means you have to cross a hot traffic stream again - which is really fatal.
Inadvertently, both of them walked towards the end of the queue.
The person driving the Land Rover was a skinny woman; when the two of them passed by, Lin Sanjiu found that she had fallen into the car, her eyes were sunken, and she had no idea what she was doing - I'm afraid she had been short of water along the way and had already developed symptoms of dehydration and
He had symptoms of unconsciousness, so he crashed the car in a panic.
In the small car that was hit by a Land Rover, the air conditioner was no longer working. However, thanks to the previous air conditioner, the middle-aged fat man driving the car was miraculously still awake. As soon as the two got out of the car, they were in a hurry.
Watched them closely.
When Lin Sanjiu passed by his car, the fat man slammed the car window several times at her.
To be honest, Lin Sanjiu is not a hard-hearted person; but at this time, she is about to heat up. How long she can hold on is still a question, and she can't squeeze out any extra compassion, so she just frowns and looks at it.
glanced at the fat man.
Through the glass, the fat man's voice was unclear: "It's... hot outside... can I leave?"
Lin Sanjiu probably guessed what he meant, shook her head, and walked away. The heat radiated from the car made the already bad situation even more unbearable. She really couldn't stand in front of the car and chat with strangers.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the fat man suddenly became anxious and pushed open the car door: "I'm talking to you, just stop - aren't you just walking outside? I..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly spoke out
A piercing scream.
The scream was filled with numbing pain, and even drowned out the sound of the engine. Lin Sanjiu turned around and found that the fat man's exposed skin actually exploded with a string of blood without being injured.
A bunch of blisters——
Bright red and blood-filled blisters exploded on his skin. The fat man's face and hands felt as if they had been splashed with boiling water, with pieces of shockingly broken skin appearing. He screamed in pain.
While it was still going on, Lin Sanjiu couldn't bear it any longer. He held Lu Ze steady with one hand, raised his foot, kicked him back into the car, and then closed the door heavily.
The screams of pain suddenly became softer, and seeing that the fat man's burns seemed to no longer continue - Lin Sanjiu took a breath and exchanged a horrified look with Lu Ze.
It turned out that it was not that her abilities had declined, but that the temperature outside had risen to a terrifying level: an ordinary person would suffer a direct burn reaction when exposed to such air - Lin Sanjiu could no longer imagine the current temperature.
Already.
"Don't think about it, let's go!" Lu Ze, who had always been talkative, began to cherish his words like gold.
The two of them hurriedly got out of the traffic jam and left hundreds of engines behind, and then they felt a little better. They crossed the road and walked onto the sidewalk with trees. They didn't dare to delay and headed straight towards the shopping mall.
Rush in the direction.
The leaves on the roadside have long lost their green, and they are charred and dry, and they are huddled under the trees. From time to time, Lin Sanjiu will see a few people lying motionless on the ground - every inch of their skin is burnt, and their bodies are prematurely
There are no more ups and downs.
No matter how strong she was, this was the first time Lin Sanjiu saw so many dead people - she was a little scared and swallowed with nausea, but her mouth was dry and there was no moisture at all.
"Let's drink the rest of the Coke!" Lu Ze's hoarse voice came from behind.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and took out the last can of Coke. There was plenty of water in the supermarket, so there was no need to risk it outside. In the past, I couldn't finish the Coke in one breath, but now I felt that there was too little -
-The two of them didn't care whether it tasted good or not, so they drank half of the hot Coke and half of it.
After throwing away the can and walking for a while, the main entrance of the shopping center gradually became clear.
The fountain pool that used to never stop was dry and cracked, as if it had never been wet. However, several corpses lying face down in the pool showed that this fountain was once their last glimmer of hope. The skin after death
Bodies that had been scalded were scattered everywhere, which was shocking.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head, carefully avoiding the corpses on the ground, and jumped forward. Occasionally, when she looked up, she found that Luze was carrying Mather on his back and had walked in front of her at some point.
Just wondering why he walked so fast, the answer immediately came to him: Lu Ze stepped on the back of a corpse that looked like a young mother and walked into the shopping mall gate as if he didn't care at all.
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly took a few steps, chased after him, and slapped him on the arm angrily: "Can't you show more respect to the deceased?" After just saying a word, his throat was so dry that it hurt.
Lu Ze was startled by her, his expression was slightly confused, and then he realized: "Oh, oh! That... I'm sorry, I have seen too many dead people, so I'm probably a little numb." He said sheepishly.
Showing a rabbit tooth: "I just started, and I was the same as you."
Seeing his good attitude, Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything even if she felt uncomfortable, so she changed the subject: "Go over there, there's an elevator and you can go down there!"
Lu Ze nodded, then looked up at the shopping mall and praised softly: "It's really beautiful here..." Without stopping, he followed Lin Sanjiu and walked towards the supermarket.
It is said that this shopping mall was designed by a famous French architect - it is five stories high, with an empty middle and dense tropical plants planted there. Probably because of the layers, the tropical trees are always high
It reaches the elevator on the fifth floor. When walking here, it feels like walking in a primeval forest.
But there was no time to appreciate it now. Lin Sanjiu took a quick glance and felt that something was wrong. For a moment, she couldn't explain why, so she had to shake her head and rushed off the elevator.
When they saw the supermarket, both of them couldn't help but take a breath.
The situation was worse than Lin Sanjiu expected - she was definitely not the only one who could think of this supermarket; but the situation in this supermarket still made her feel unexpected.
When the temperature was unusually high last night, this supermarket was obviously open, so it was packed with people. Of course, these people were unable to move at this time. It cannot be said that they were lying on the ground and turned into corpses. Last night's
The chaos seemed to have been solidified: there were empty bottles, mineral water bottles, beverage bottles rolling down everywhere... The beige floor was littered with traces of dried fruit drinks. The drink racks seemed to have been looted.
, the last few bottles of water were lying in a mess, and several dead people on the ground were holding a bunch of drinks tightly in their arms.
The most shocking thing is that the cause of death of one cashier was obviously not dehydration - the back of her head was deeply deflated, and the cash register in front of her was wide open and empty.
Lu Ze clicked his tongue twice: "The person who stole the money should be stupid now!"
"If he's not dead yet." Lin Sanjiu was already exhausted. He took out a bottle of water from the arms of a corpse at the door, drank half of the bottle without hesitation, and handed it to Lu Ze.
.
It seemed that even though the supermarket was littered with corpses and had gone through a lot of chaos, it should not be a problem to maintain food and water for three people at least for now. Luze was already tired after carrying Mather all the way, so he put her down.
On the floor, he muttered: "Obviously he is not a real person, why is he still so heavy..."
Lin Sanjiu was sitting on a cashier counter where there was no dead person and was resting. When he heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "I've wanted to ask for a long time... I was embarrassed when Marcel was here before. The fallen species said that she
It’s fake blood and fake meat, what do you mean?”
"She is my differentiated personality. In a sense, she is also the same person." Lu Ze said while drinking water, "However, her real degree depends on my ability... Now my ability is insufficient.
So there are a lot of things about Mather that are not quite...well, perfect."
Lin Sanjiu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The two of them replenished their fluids and rested for a while, then they felt their empty stomachs and stomachs were feeling uncomfortable.
"Let's go to the food area and have a look?" Lin Sanjiu suggested.
"Wait a minute." Lu Ze stopped her, looked around, and asked, "Is there anything handy here that can be used as a weapon?"
