Thinking about it carefully, how did Lin Sanjiu come up with the idea of the "Customs Warehouse"?
Although most people know that imported food must go through customs, I'm afraid not many people know the details, right? The customs has to conduct random inspections of imported food for up to a month, and a large amount of food is stored in warehouses...
Details that outsiders don't understand have been stored in memory for some time. And at the moment when Lin Sanjiu met the eyes of the person in the car, Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered the reason why he knew all this.
Because the person in front of me used to work in an import and export trading company.
"What's the matter, Xiaojiu?" The voice of the person in the car sounded smiling, "Aren't you happy to see your old friend?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at her straightly, and for a moment she forgot what she was going to say. After a long time, she called out in a dry voice: "Zhu Mei."
Behind her, Hu Changzai and others sensed something was wrong and were about to step forward. Hearing these words, they couldn't help but exchange confused glances.
"Long time no see, Xiaojiu." Zhu Mei narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, "I didn't expect that we all have some extra decorations on our faces."
Lin Sanjiu looked at her in a daze, and then reached out to touch the dark green patterns on her face. Looking at her movements, Zhu Mei laughed: "But yours is much prettier than mine."
Is she laughing? This unrelated thought suddenly flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind - it sounded like she was laughing, but at this moment, half of Zhu Mei's face was replaced by a mouthpart, which was really weird.
It's hard to tell if she is smiling.
The place where the mouth and nose were originally turned into a deep hole with the mouthparts coming out of it. The end of the mouthparts suddenly flicked and hit the car door with a bang. Lin Sanjiu was shocked, and she felt like this.
After waking up from his dream, he took a few steps back.
"Are you afraid of me?" Zhu Mei took a step forward.
These legs, only wearing shorts, are white and plump, with delicate skin and flesh, just like they were before she was alive.
...before death?
"Zhu Mei... I went to your house after the temperature rose." Lin Sanjiu felt her throat was dry and itchy: "Someone else went into your house, and they said you were dead..."
"Who else?" Zhu Mei tilted her head. As she moved, her mouthparts reflected like metal in the dark tunnel. "Well, whatever... I might have died at the time. But since you go
"Excuse me, why didn't you collect the body for me?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at her speechlessly. At that time, she thought Lu Ze and Mather had murderous intentions towards her, so she turned around and rushed downstairs. After being caught up, although the misunderstanding was resolved, she met them immediately.
She caught the first fallen species... Thinking of this, she didn't know how she felt. She quickly glanced at Zhu Mei's mouthparts and was about to apologize, but was interrupted by the other party's voice.
"That's fine." Zhu Mei smiled, got out of the car, and stood on the ground. "If you had been troublesome and collected the body, I might not be alive now."
Did it change after death? Lin Sanjiu thought, biting her lower lip.
"...If I had known you would become a fallen species, I would never have left you alone." Her voice was muffled.
Zhu Mei raised her eyebrows: "So I still have a name? Do you think we, the fallen species, shouldn't be alive? Do you think it's better for me to die than to become a fallen species?"
Her tone was sharp and aggressive, an attitude that Lin Sanjiu had never seen from her before. Lin Sanjiu was immediately stopped by the question, and his mind was in a state of confusion. He couldn't answer anything, so he could only stare blankly.
Hold each other.
Someone caught up from behind, it was Hu Changzai. His voice sounded very vague. It seemed like a distant background sound: "Xiaojiu. Do you know this degenerate? Come over here and be careful about her..."
Zhu Mei glanced at him and smiled: "Flower Protector? What's wrong, where is Ren Nan?"
"He is my companion." Lin Sanjiu endured the turbulent emotions in her heart, ignored the second half of the question, and answered as calmly as possible.
At this time, Hai Tianqing and Rabbit, one big and one small, also walked up and looked at Zhu Mei warily. However, despite this situation, they still kept a distance to avoid bumping into each other - a
Over many months, this has become their subconscious habit.
Zhu Mei didn't care at all that the other people were surrounding her. She just crossed her arms and looked at Lin Sanjiu. The scene fell into silence for a while.
Facing Zhu Mei, who not only looked like a different person but also had a different personality, Lin Sanjiu really didn't know what to say. Are you happy that her friend is still alive? Are you sad that she has become a fallen species? Do you want to be like this?
Treat her like other degenerates? Thinking of Wang Sisi who drank his father, Pei Jun who used his girlfriend to hunt... What to say, what to do next, Lin Sanjiu had no clue.
After a long while, she finally spoke, but the first words that came out of her mouth were - "Zhu Mei, look at you, have you killed a lot of people?"
If you haven't smoked at least a dozen people, you will never have such a rich body.
"Yes, I want to live! I have lived in this tunnel for several months -" Zhu Mei nodded generously, "Half of the people on this road, including several evolutionaries, have become
My food. I once told you about the customs affairs, thinking that maybe you would come, so I chose this place... I didn’t expect that I would actually wait for you."
"I have all the memories from before. I can also talk and think about things...Xiaojiu, do you know what this means? It means that Zhu Mei has never died and we are still good friends."
At this time, the two were standing face to face. When Zhu Mei spoke, her mouthparts were shaken, and saliva was falling from the end to the ground drop by drop.
……Is it really?
The right hand side is the direction they came from, which is the other end of the tunnel. At this time, several other people are standing on the right side. Hai Tianqing took a step forward as if he was very anxious, frowned and said: "Xiaojiu, you don't have to talk to me anymore."
What did she say? After becoming a fallen species, you are no longer the same person as before. You should-"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and completely forgot what he said next.
Not only him, but Lin Sanjiu and Zhu Mei were also surprised, their eyes glazed over for a moment - their eyes slowly moved from right to left following the footsteps of the person in front of them.
A young man about 1.78 meters tall, carrying a bag and wearing a hat, hummed a tune and walked past Lin and Zhu as if nothing had happened. He continued to move forward briskly.
Walk.
"He, he...where did he come from?"
Lin Sanjiu suddenly turned her head to look to the right and asked stammeringly.
On the right hand side, as before, stood Hu Changzai, Hai Tianqing, and Rabbit. The man was clearly coming from this direction, which meant that he had to pass through Hai Tianqing and the others first - but at this moment they were not
Not much better than Lin Sanjiu, he stared blankly at the back. It was obvious that he had not noticed the existence of this man at all just now.
"No, I don't know. He passed by me suddenly..." Hu Chang looked shocked, "I didn't realize there was anyone nearby..."
As if he felt the gaze behind him, the man suddenly stopped. His humming also stopped. Then he turned his head, half of his face was covered by the shadow cast by the beret, and he couldn't see.
Clearly - only a red mouth is exposed, with the corners of the mouth curved upward, showing a standard and polite smile.
"You just said you've been living in this tunnel for several months, right?"
The man's voice was flat, with no pauses or ups and downs. It sounded like an electronic sound and made people feel uncomfortable.
The person he was questioning was obviously Zhu Mei - Lin Sanjiu subconsciously looked up at her.
Zhu Mei didn't seem to expect that this weirdo would suddenly talk to her. She frowned and looked at him carefully. Then, her face suddenly turned white, and the mouthparts hanging in front of her body trembled slightly:
"Ah, are you—"
As if by magic, the next second, an oval-shaped hole appeared in her chest. Through the hole, Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the car behind her.
Zhu Mei looked down at the hole in her chest in disbelief, as if muttering something. Then with a "bang", her body fell to the ground, her eyes still wide open.
It was only then that the piece of flesh and blood that had been blasted out suddenly hit the wall of the tunnel with a splash, immediately staining the wall red.
The beret man slowly lowered his arm, with something like a gun barrel still smoking in his hand.
The corners of his mouth were still raised, and his tone was the same as before, flat and without fluctuations: "After becoming a fallen species, only all the dark sides of this person's character are awakened, so they cannot be regarded as the same person. Since she is a fallen species, I will help you kill her."
You’re welcome.”
While speaking, the beret man raised his chin slightly, allowing several people to see his face clearly.
He has smooth skin and seems to be of mixed race. He has a high nose and deep eyes. He has a handsome appearance and a few curly hairs peeking out from the brim of his hat. But his eyes make people feel a little strange: they are clearly black and white, but they have no luster at all.
He stayed motionless in the center of his eyes... When Lin Sanjiu looked at him, for a moment, he didn't know whether he was seeing a living person or a dead body.
"You...you killed Zhu Mei..." She gasped like a fish while trying to control her trembling hands and feet. "You killed Zhu Mei..."
For a moment, her mind was hazy, and it seemed like this was the only thought left.
Regardless of whether Zhu Mei is still her original character...she is still his friend who came back from the dead. But before she could say a few words, she died tragically again...A big hand suddenly pressed on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder.
He grabbed her body with a heavy, restraining force - and then Hai Tianqing's deep voice sounded: "Xiaojiu, don't act rashly."
Lin Sanjiu looked down and found that she had grasped the mouthpart in her hand at some point.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." Hai Tianqing, who had always been calm, said in a slightly different voice: "Look back."
Lin Sanjiu turned her head in confusion.
Behind Hu Changzai and Rabbit, stood a dozen berets who looked exactly the same. The barrels of the guns in each person's hands were raised, facing them in the dark.
"Aren't you going to the customs warehouse? Let's go together."
Behind her, the man who killed Zhu Mei said in a flat tone. (To be continued)
