Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1139: Please leave your name
The sesame cake disappeared from the air as abruptly as Bohemia.
Lin Sanjiu squatted on the ground and stared blankly at the circular sewer opening for a few seconds. Finally, he cursed in a low voice and stood up.
"What are you doing standing up?" Teacher Yi asked.
Right now, it seems that there is only one way left to find our companions, and that is to follow them. Otherwise, where would she go to find that hospital that she still didn't know existed?
"Even if I have to take the initiative to jump into the crater," Lin Sanjiu said dullly, "I can also find a cleaner crater. It's not like I have no choice."
Judging from the several cases of being swallowed just now, although it will disappear after being dripped by lava, there is a very painful burning process; if the limbs are extended into the ring, they will be immediately swallowed without making a sound. Gone. Comparing the two, of course she wanted to choose a painful and short-term method.
After pouring out all the mineral water, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and put her fingers into the mouth of the bottle.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Nothing happened.
The fingers are still in the round bottle mouth, and the skin is wetted by the cool water drops.
Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes, a little confused. She took out her fingers and tried twice more, but apart from making her fingers wetter, she still didn't change at all: she was still standing in front of the bathroom mirror, her eyebrows tightly knitted together; she didn't know whether it was because she was too doubtful or it had been a long time. I have never looked in the mirror, and the reflection in the mirror looks strange.
She looked up and saw that the clock on the mirror showed 12:32 pm.
"Strange,"
After confirming that the faucet had a circular water outlet, she opened it and put her hand into the rushing water; the cool tap water hit her skin, making her shudder - but, that is Just a quickie.
"Am I going to put my hand into the sewer opening too?"
Knowing that it didn’t make sense logically, Lin Sanjiu still squatted down and tried; by this time, the result was not so unexpected. She waited stupidly for nearly a minute, but was not swallowed up by lava. My feet are still standing in this bathroom.
For some reason, the circular "craters" that swallowed four people in a row and were filled with invisible lava didn't seem to want her very much.
Even after Lin Sanjiu walked out, slung the puppet master's ring on her shoulder and stuck the Bohemian bracelet on her palm, she was still fine and unnervingly safe.
"Try it," Teacher Yi reminded her, "Can you turn them into cards now?"
Lin Sanjiu subconsciously tried it - then she looked at the two cards in her palm and was speechless, not knowing what to say. "It's true," she looked around blankly, "but...why?"
Naturally, no one among the silent degenerates coming and going on the street would answer her.
"If I can't be swallowed by the crater," she looked at the "people" one after another with the same appearance as usual, and murmured: "But at least I can be swallowed by lava... If that woman didn't lie, these degenerate species Everything in the body should be lava."
As long as she attacks the fallen species, won't she also be sent to that hospital?
She thought this was a good idea, but when she mentioned it to Teacher Yi, the latter made a long nasal sound of "hmm", seemingly full of doubts and uncertainties.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked, "Aren't being swallowed by the lava in the water bottle the same as being swallowed by the lava in the fallen species?"
"Logically speaking... it should be the same." Teacher Yi said hesitantly, "But... there is one question you have thought about?"
What Teacher Yi observed was the clue captured by her subconscious mind; and Teacher Yi was able to screen out valuable things from her subconscious, bring it to the surface, and tell Lin Sanjiu about it. In this regard, she is very useful.
"You said."
"The man and woman just tricked you upstairs. I don't know why they wanted to use their own hands to let you be swallowed up by lava...right?" Teacher Yi said while thinking, "No matter what their intentions are. For some reason, you chose the far away. Aren’t you surrounded by fallen species at that time? If you hit any one at random, the lava that erupted would swallow you up. It’s like they personally sent you into the lava. , why bother to trick you into going upstairs, only to end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice?"
Lin Sanjiu had never thought about this. In any case, Sesame Pancake and the Bearded Man should at least have a long-range attack method, so that they won't be able to hit the degenerates around her who don't know how to hide.
"You mean... after they trick me into the ring for some reason, I will be swallowed up and sent to the hospital; and if I hit the fallen species, I will also be swallowed up by lava. , but compared with Bohemia and others, how will it be different?"
"I doubt it." Teacher Yi sighed, "After all, people killed by fallen species are very likely to become fallen species... We cannot rule out the possibility that the ring can Send you to the hospital, and the fallen species will turn you into a fallen species."
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and felt a little discouraged. "Yes, that man and woman did not want my life... If the magma ejected from the body of the fallen species would turn me into a fallen species, then maybe they did not attack me because they were worried about this. The fallen species."
In this way, another method is blocked. Looking at the calm-looking people walking around, she just wanted to scratch her scalp.
I don’t know why the ring refuses to swallow her, and the risk of attacking the fallen species is too great. What should she do next?
"No matter what," Lin Sanjiu made up her mind after standing there and thinking for a few seconds: "I have to find a map first."
Now that her eyesight is darkened, she can only act based on the information Sesame Pancake told her; assuming that general hospital really exists somewhere, then it must have been built before the end of the world. on the map.
Walking for dozens of minutes along the streets of Big Bear City in the warm sunshine of the afternoon, Lin Sanjiu even had the illusion that she was back before the end of the world. These degenerates seemed to be wind-up robots, and they were all doing exactly the same things as usual: there were men walking on the road carrying briefcases, there were cleaners cleaning up the garbage on the roadside, and there were people sitting at bus stops. The girl listening to music on the chair - after a while, a bus actually drove slowly into the station.
If everyone hadn't been expressionless and silent, I'm afraid any evolver would have thought that this was the world six months before the end. Speaking of which, there is another thing about this well-preserved world that Lin Sanjiu can't figure out: it is obviously full of lava, but lava cannot be absorbed by the [Nostradamus Card].
Isn’t it Lava who destroyed this world? So how can we create a fallen species with lava in its body?
"Why is the map so hard to find?"
After searching a gas station and two convenience stores but still finding nothing, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but sigh and simply sat on a bench by the roadside to rest.
In an era when everyone uses online maps, it is really not easy to find a paper map; judging from the unremarkable appearance of Big Bear City, it does not seem to be a tourist attraction, so it is just a matter of finding a map. It's even harder. Lin Sanjiu rubbed her sore calf and was about to get up and continue searching when a man wearing glasses walked over at that moment and sat down beside her without saying a word.
Another fallen species——
Before this thought was finished, the man next to me whispered: "Have you finished registering?"
Lin Sanjiu twisted her head and stared at his profile.
This person doesn’t look like an evolved person, but rather like an office worker who goes out to eat during his lunch break. Of course, it’s possible for an evolved person to wear a shirt and trousers like him, but Lin Sanjiu hasn’t seen many of them. People will hang a work badge around their neck.
Is it a special item?
Her mind raced rapidly for a few seconds, and she sat motionless, tensing her body and replied: "...not yet."
"Then don't waste time," the man raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "it's almost half past two."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the work badge on his chest. Unfortunately, due to the angle, she couldn't see the words on the badge clearly. She thought for a while, but did not ask what would happen at 2:30 or why she needed to register. She only asked vaguely: "This, the registration place..."
"Right in the back~IndoMTL.com~ The man wearing glasses turned around after speaking, and pointed his finger across a small lawn behind the bench to an Indian restaurant not far away: "Don't you know? You haven't found it yet? ”
The plastic cover of the work badge shone brightly in the sun. Lin Sanjiu glanced at it a few times, but still couldn't be sure whether it was a special item or not - or, in other words, whether this man was an upgrade. A degenerate species.
"If you can't make it to two-thirty," the man wearing glasses said, he stood up and turned around without giving her a chance to ask more questions. "You'll have to wait for a few more hours. ”
Seeing his back gradually disappearing at the corner of the street, Lin Sanjiu sat on the bench, her eyebrows furrowing tighter and tighter.
After a few minutes, she jumped up from the bench, crossed the lawn in a few steps, and hurried towards the Indian restaurant. She was so fast that she almost hit a pervert who appeared out of nowhere. Zhong——I ran closer and saw that the wooden door was ajar, and there was no light or sound inside.
She wrapped her hand with [Protective Force Field] and gently pushed the door open.
This restaurant must have not been used for a long time. Even the strong smell unique to Indian restaurants has completely dissipated over time, leaving only the smell of dust and wood. There was a reception desk at the door, but there was no receptionist. She slowly approached, looked over, and found a large, thick book spread out on the desk.
On the unfolded page, there is this line written: "The next round of lava!! Will start at 2:30, please leave your name here to register."
