On the road, which was as silent as death, there were no birds chirping, no cars, only an occasional gust of wind, which shook the unclosed car door back and forth. The increasingly intense sunlight seemed to burn to death every creature that dared to live.
, spreading a fatal temperature.
From the dark and deep tunnel not far away, the sound of footsteps could be faintly heard, and a group of people gradually approached.
A young man wearing a beret walked out of the tunnel first, with curved red lips and a cheerful smile. He had a light body, slender limbs, and a waist that could almost be called slender. Although he was not masculine, he looked
Very dexterous - but when walking, there is an indescribable awkwardness.
Lin Sanjiu and others followed behind him, walking in the middle like prisoners, being escorted by a dozen men in berets dressed exactly the same.
Although their hands were not tied, after seeing the weapons in the hands of the berets, no one had the intention to fight against more than ten people, and everyone walked honestly.
"Why are you going to the customs warehouse?"
The beret in front did not look back, but suddenly asked.
Lin Sanjiu bit her lower lip: "Because there may be a lot of imported food stored in the customs warehouse... There is nothing edible in the city, and we haven't had drinking water for two days."
The beret seemed to say "Huh" and then stopped talking.
"...We are already very weak. Can we rest for a day and start again in the evening? It will be very dangerous if we keep walking under the sun." Lin Sanjiu couldn't guess their intentions and origins, so she could only cheer up.
Courage asked cautiously.
"It's okay, we're not afraid." The beret's answer almost choked her.
Yes, you are not afraid, we are! Lin Sanjiu and Hu Changzai exchanged helpless glances. The latter then took two steps closer and asked in a low voice: "Xiaojiu, do you think... they
Walking a little weird?"
More than just weird!
Lin Sanjiu has grown so old. This is the first time he has seen someone walking like this - standing on tiptoes, lifting the back heels in the air, walking with the same hands and feet - not to mention these. The weirdest thing is that they walk
They didn't bend their joints at all times, they straightened their legs and retracted them, showing an unnatural stiffness. It really makes people wonder why they haven't fallen down yet? But judging from the action of shooting Zhu Mei just now, they didn't.
It’s not that the joints can’t bend…
Thinking of Zhu Mei, Lin Sanjiu's heart immediately seemed to be covered with a layer of ashes. She felt sad.
Under the scorching sunlight, the berets not only did not fall, but walked very fast - after walking forward at a steady speed for three hours, Lin Sanjiu and his party couldn't stand it anymore. They had not been able to stand for two days.
Eat. Being escorted by these weirdos and walking so far under the sun, a few of them really couldn't hold on any longer. The rabbit was the first to lose his temper. He suddenly sat down on the ground and shouted:
"I'm exhausted! I can't walk anymore. If I don't want to leave, you can just beat me to death. Hurry up and do it!"
Although he said that he was looking forward to death, but looking at the four paws gripping the ground and the hair on his back standing straight, he was obviously ready to escape.
The berets walking at the rear seemed not to expect that it suddenly stopped walking. They were caught off guard and almost tripped a few of them - just when Lin Sanjiu was staring at them and almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, one of the berets stopped walking.
Thundercap put down the barrel of his gun, reached out and grabbed the brown rabbit. He held it in his hand, and then took another step forward.
Under the sun, the little pink carrots on the rabbit's body looked very clear, and they were exactly the patterns from [Wusu Poison]. The three of them and the rabbit looked at each other, and each of them looked a little silly.
Damn it—this was the first thought that flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind.
If the man holding the rabbit dies, it will surely be regarded as their resistance. When a fight breaks out, how much benefit can these tired and weak people on our side take?
[Wusu poison] attacks very quickly. In the 6th second after skin contact, the infected person will bleed to death...
"Huh?" However, after Hu Chang took two steps, he suddenly let out a low voice of surprise. "Why...why is that person okay?"
Several dozen seconds had passed, but the man holding the rabbit didn't seem to be any different and was still walking as fast as he could.
The brown-haired rabbit was also puzzled. He looked up at his companions, pulled down one of his ears in frustration, pressed the metal ring on his ear with his paw and asked, "Are we being tricked by Mr. Dot?"
[Gothic Outfit Black Gold Earrings]
Introduction: As one of the four-piece set of Gothic costumes, it has the function of "transmitting sounds into secrets". When you press the earrings with your hand, the sound can be transmitted to the ears of the target in your mind without being heard by outsiders.
, it can be called a useful tool for talking about love, telling bad words, cheating on exams, etc. However, the condition is that the target must have touched this earring before, and the distance cannot exceed 500 meters.
[Goth Suit] is the first of the eight special items won from the game - as soon as the dungeon came out, several people took turns touching this earring. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy today.
.However, when Rabbit said this, the others were a little unsure, because in the month after the dungeon ended, life was so peaceful that they did not encounter any enemies, and they had not tested [Wusu Poison] on others.
So no one can tell what happened.
"No way? Although Mr. Dian does like to tease people..." Lin Sanjiu felt a little unsure. She didn't have such a convenient prop as earrings, so she had to lower her voice and responded: "Is it because your hair covers your skin?"
Live, so it doesn’t count as direct skin contact?”
"It's possible." Hai Tianqing also briefly participated in the discussion, "If the skin was exposed, the person might have been poisoned."
"Then I can't just start shaving all of a sudden!" Rabbit was very dissatisfied: "Besides, my hair is so beautiful! How ugly it would be if I shaved my hair completely!"
Lin Sanjiu looked at the beret walking in front. His back was straight, as if he had no idea about the conversation behind him. She gritted her teeth, became cruel, hurried forward two steps and shouted:
"Why--"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch his arm exposed outside his short sleeves, as if by accident.
Although it was only a short moment, all the hairs on Lin Sanjiu's body stood up, fearing that the beret would be unhappy and shoot him... Just when her muscles tensed up and she was ready for emergency,
The fingers touched his skin without any hindrance.
Cool. A little hard, very smooth.
"Don't touch me casually. What's wrong with you?" Beret still didn't look back.
It seems that except for the fallen species, these berets will not kill people casually - Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief and silently counted the seconds in his heart. Six seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the beret asked again:
"What's the matter with you and why don't you say anything?"
His tone was as plain as an electronic voice, and you couldn't tell whether he was impatient - but what was certain was that [Wusu Poison] had not taken effect at all. Then, Rabbit's voice came into his ears: "Let's see.
, it’s not my fault at all!”
Probably because there was no response. The beret slowly turned his head. His eyes were still in the center of his eye sockets, dull: "Speak."
If you don't speak, you might get into trouble - Lin Sanjiu quickly found a way to talk: "...Um, what do you want from us?"
"You'll know then." It was the same answer again.
She said unwillingly: "But our physical strength is really exhausted. No matter what your purpose is, it seems that you still need us to stay alive, right? If this continues, we won't be able to hold on anymore, so let us rest until
Shall we continue setting off in the evening?"
Although this was an exaggeration, the beret pondered for a few seconds and then suddenly stopped. He replied calmly: "Okay, you can rest where you are until night, but don't think about escaping."
When several people heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When the berets behind them heard this, they all stopped and stood in a circle, surrounding a few people in the center. Although the [Usu Poison] did not attack the berets, no one is sure now.
Whether Mr. Dian had tricked him or not, it was still the same as before. They each found a car and got in.
The berets didn't seem to have any intention of getting into the car to rest. They still stood upright and motionless. What's strange is that even when they were standing, their toes were still tiptoe - aren't they tired?
Lin Sanjiu's eyes glanced over their feet, but he was surprised for a moment and didn't take it seriously. He didn't have any teeth for two days, and today he experienced a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs, which consumed a lot of energy...
She was very tired. No matter what the purpose of these weirdos was, their intentions would definitely be revealed when they arrived at the customs warehouse. She had to conserve her strength and prepare for the unexpected.
After waiting for a while but no movement was seen, a white rag doll appeared silently in Lin Sanjiu's hand. The rag doll was very simple. It had a head tied with a leather cord and white cloth, and the facial features were painted on it, but the body was very simple.
It was still a piece of cloth. Lin Sanjiu slapped the puppet on the roof of the car, and the puppet immediately hung up automatically, dangling in mid-air with its face always facing outside the car.
[Defense Version Sunny Day Doll]
Introduction: It can only be used in places with a "roof". After hanging on the roof or ceiling, the sunny doll will automatically perform guard functions, identify potential sources of danger, and sound the alarm as soon as possible when enemies appear within a radius of 30 meters. Real person
It makes sounds, saves power, and is sensitive. One AA battery can last for 500 hours. It is the latest product of Haima Baby Children's Toy Company.
This is the second of the eight special items won in the game. Although it is a toy, it unexpectedly comes in handy at this time.
Staring at the motionless berets under the sun - now Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell which one killed Zhu Mei - her anxious nerves were finally conquered by the boundless darkness, and she slowly closed her eyes.
.The strong sunlight penetrated her eyelids, casting an orange-red light and shadow. In this light and shadow, she slowly fell asleep with her heart full of thoughts. (To be continued)
