Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1029: Scone on a rainy day
The heavy dark clouds in the sky are pressing on the tall buildings, getting lower and heavier, and even the day is soaked in the cold and gloomy color of the impending mountain rain, hanging heavily on the low buildings. Under the sky. Lin Sanjiu and the two walked for about ten minutes. The air finally couldn't bear the weight of the thick dark clouds, and raindrops fell in a steady patter.
Once it started, the rain suddenly became violent in the blink of an eye. The dense rain pillars roared and poured down, and a vast expanse of white quickly appeared between the sky and the earth. The water vapor, dim skylight, and endless, intermittent rainstorms made everything disappear from the field of vision into the white mist. Even things a few meters away were difficult to see clearly through wet eyelashes.
The soaked clothes cling heavily to the body, as if they are so heavy that one cannot even breathe; with every step he takes, a puddle of water will be stepped out of the insole of the shoe. Compared to ordinary people, as evolutionaries with keen senses, they felt even more uncomfortable when walking in the rain. The two of them walked on the empty street for a while, and finally gave up, hurriedly walked up the steps by the roadside, and hid. Under the eaves of a two-story residence.
In such weather, probably no one would come out to catch the mentally ill.
Unexpectedly, Bohemia did not complain.
"Wipe your face," Lin Sanjiu handed her a towel, "Why are you so quiet?"
Bohemian's unclear voice rang out from the towel: "It's going to rain and it's not under anyone's control. What's there to say? If there's anything to say, it's just about me. The things I encounter in this life can tire me to death."
Seeing how often she lost her temper, Lin Sanjiu almost forgot that she was also a resident of the Twelve Worlds who had struggled to survive until today.
Withdrawing the towel, she looked back behind her - this red door only needs to fill in one corner, and it will be a parallelogram tilting to the right; but compared with other buildings, it is already very regular. .
"I'm not worried about the rain." Bohemian's hair was completely soaked, and the golden brown became dark brown. The strands stuck to her skin and clothes. She simply wiped them all off. Grab it and tie it into a low ponytail. "What I'm worried about is that you can't find your way to the garbage dump - look at this city planning, it can't keep up with the amateur designers in the Twelve Worlds. After a while, I can't even find the entrance and exit just now. No more!"
It is really a long shot to wait for professional architects or urban landscape designers to transmit; therefore, the parts of the twelve worlds built by the evolvers basically rely on special items and a rough introduction. It is composed of books, wild imagination and inflated blind confidence.
But compared with this world, the Twelve Realms look really professional.
Lin Sanjiu sighed - even if she knew the general direction, she was not sure that she could find the garbage dump. Since they left the entrance and exit, although they haven't met many pursuers, they have been forced to turn around several times by the sudden cut off of the road.
"Look at this door," Bohemia pointed behind her, "it's crooked into——"
As if sensing her fingers, the red door suddenly opened with a creak, revealing a head of fluffy silver hair. Under the silver hair, there is a face with deep lines and a peaceful expression; this old woman, who is about sixty or seventy years old, looks in good spirits, with pink cheeks. As soon as the door opened, a waffle-like aroma rushed out from behind her. She looked at the two of them up and down, as if she thought they didn't look dangerous, and then asked: "...Do you need to come in to take shelter from the rain?"
Lin Sanjiu looked over her shoulder and saw a small round table with an old-fashioned telephone on it in the corridor.
"Thank you so much," she gave Bohemia a hand and smiled at the old lady: "We will leave as soon as the rain stops."
Bohemia glanced at her immediately, seeming taken aback.
The old lady opened the door - due to shape restrictions, the door panels had to be divided into three pieces and opened separately to allow people to enter and exit. I really don't understand why it was designed like this in the first place. She turned around, led the two of them into the corridor, and said, "I'm just getting ready to drink tea... You guys go to the bathroom to wipe yourself, and you can have a cup of hot tea together."
"That's so embarrassing."
While passing the old telephone, Lin Sanjiu responded with a smile, reached behind the round table, and touched the phone cord. Twisting it between her index finger and thumb, and rubbing it with a little force, the old telephone wire couldn't bear it anymore and was crushed into several pieces between her fingers.
When the three of them sat down together in the gloomy reception room, the rain outside the window became even more alarming. The rumbling sound of rain immersed the sky and the earth, making it almost difficult to hear clearly what the people facing each other said; most of the skylight disappeared, and was blocked by the four walls, making it dark and dim. The only remaining glimmer of light lingered in the hall.
Occasionally, when a streak of snow-white lightning breaks through the heavy rain outside the window, it suddenly illuminates the face of the old lady opposite who is drinking tea with her eyes downcast.
The shape of the living room is also irregular, and most of the corners are in shadow. If you put furniture such as a TV and a sofa, it looks normal - but all the furniture is like the owner, and is transparent. It has a feeling of getting older.
"Try the scones I baked." In the dim room, she motioned to the golden pastry in her hand, "My wife likes to eat it the most... After he left, I still kept this The habit has continued, and I bake a few and drink them with tea every afternoon. Today I happened to make a few more... After all, at my age, you never know which day will be your last."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but look at Bohemia, and then felt relieved - even she, who loves food so much, just brought the teacup to her lips and gestured; Scong was pinched After a small piece, it was still placed on the tea cup and saucer.
...Even in a world of ordinary people, they still have to be a little more careful. Especially after experiencing the world of meat-eating, Lin Sanjiu was naturally a little wary of everything he imported.
The old lady ate very well.
"You are not locals, are you?" She ate several of them in a short time, and then wiped her mouth gracefully with a handkerchief, "I could tell at a glance."
"We have a relative who works in the garbage recycling company here," Lin Sanjiu asked tentatively, "but we accidentally lost the address and got lost. Do you know which direction the garbage disposal site is?"
How do ordinary people pay attention to where the garbage dump is? The old lady was also stunned by the question. After thinking for a long time, she raised a finger and said, "Wait a minute. I'll get the city's facility information brochure... It should be there."
The two watched her walk out of the reception room in small steps, looked at each other, stood up from the sofa, and glanced around a few times.
"The design of this wall is too disgusting." Bohemia walked to the other end of the living room, frowned at a wall, and couldn't help but reach out and poke it: "Why is it covered with a Small holes... densely packed, like pores."
Lin Sanjiu had long been accustomed to the unreasonable aesthetics of this world, so she stepped closer to the TV. In fact, it took a little imagination to recognize that this thing was a TV, because it was similar to the one in the garbage dump. Fat men's TV looks almost nothing alike. She lifted up a thick, pad-like layer and saw the entire screen; when she touched the screen lightly, her fingertips immediately caught some slight residual heat.
...It seems that not long ago, this TV was still on.
Having greeted Bohemia, she found the button and turned on the TV - when the light came on, both of them were shocked. Two familiar faces appeared on the screen, responding directly to their gazes. The background was a small hall full of counters; at the same time, a female voice narration continued to emphasize: "... ...Emergency news, these two mental patients broke into the entrance and exit today, and they are currently on the run. Citizens are asked to take appropriate measures in time after discovering it...I repeat, urgent news..."
With a "pop", Lin Sanjiu immediately turned off the TV. Turning her head, her eyes met Bohemia - the latter also reacted ~IndoMTL.com~ and was pressing her lips tightly.
Judging from the clues just now, this emergency news has been playing on TV for a long time; and when they walked into the house, the old lady had obviously seen them on TV.
...So, what is she going to do next?
