Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 22: Get on the road!
If you only look at it with the naked eye, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky at this moment seems to be no different from previous summers. The dazzling sunlight shines down from the blue sky and reaches the realm of the human world, revealing its shocking viciousness.
On every street, there are human corpses covered with burns, shrunken and curled up in balls. The buildings cracked under the high temperature, and some houses of poor quality had already collapsed into small mountains of debris. The ground is cracked, and occasionally a relatively healthy fallen species can be seen wandering among the ruins. In just over a month, the outside world has lost even a little bit of popularity. It is hard to believe that this was once a highly developed human civilization.
The air is dry and hot, and I don’t know where the evaporated rivers, lakes and seas have gone. Looking around, there is no greenery anywhere as far as the eye can see. Wherever the truck rumbles past, thick yellow dust and smoke half a man's height will immediately be rolled up, making it almost difficult to see.
Lin Sanjiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the truck, couldn't help but glance in the rearview mirror.
Behind her, there was another large freight truck of the same model, followed closely by a long bus. This was not the focus of Lin Sanjiu's gaze. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the black smoke rising in the sky in the distance.
The place where the black smoke rose was the shopping mall that had housed them for a month.
After staying for so long, I finally had to leave... Lin Sanjiu's thoughts couldn't help but go back to a month ago.
After Lin Sanjiu accidentally discovered the packed supermarket warehouse, the three of them were so happy - they didn't even need to count, they could tell just by looking at the warehouse that there were so many The food and water will definitely be enough for them to last 14 months. Living in an underground supermarket without having to worry about direct sunlight is really ideal!
The only problem is the small forest of tropical plants in the lobby outside.
After all, people are still greedy for comfort. A few people discussed it and felt that judging from the current situation, as long as they stay locked up in the underground supermarket, the plant forest outside can't do anything to them. It just so happened that the last few days had been thrilling and had consumed a lot of their energy. In the name of rest and adjustment, the three of them simply settled down in the supermarket.
This recuperation lasted for more than two weeks. Since they had no worries about food and drink, the iron gate was closed, and there were no foreign enemies, the three of them lived a comfortable life for the first time in the new world - so much so that two or three weeks later, Lin Sanjiu accidentally pinched his waist and I actually found that I had gained weight.
This bit of excess fat was like a wake-up call - it was not that Lin Sanjiu was still worried about her good-looking figure at the end of the world, but that she suddenly thought of a saying in her Chinese language class in middle school, "Born from sorrow, And die in peace."
Thinking about it carefully, in the past two or three weeks, I have never generated any abilities, and my advanced abilities are still the same, with no sense of evolution at all. It is not easy to say that it is not easy to generate abilities. However, in the few days after the arrival of the new world, under various crises, she quickly generated a comprehensive physical increase - indicating that the current time span is definitely abnormal.
With this idea in mind, Lin Sanjiu discussed with the other two people and immediately decided to send two people out to patrol every day - not only for safety reasons, but also to exercise themselves.
The idea was good, but unexpectedly, as soon as the iron door was opened, the three of them were stunned.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when the door opened, but the elevator leading to the lobby on the first floor was still shrouded in thick darkness.
Lin Sanjiu looked ahead stupidly and asked in a low voice: "Does the sun set so early now?"
Lu Ze was stunned and speechless. Suddenly, Mather stretched out her hand and shouted, "Look!" Lin Sanjiu and Lu Ze looked in the direction she pointed, and their internal organs were immediately chilled——
The darkness covering the elevator moved slightly as if it felt something - it didn't matter. A bit of sunlight immediately filtered in, revealing half of the green branches and leaves. Only then did the three people realize that the reason why it was dark outside the iron gate was because it was blocked by plants.
Then, more and more shadows moved. Dozens of densely packed green vines, large and small, seemed to have smelled human scent. They came to life one by one, slowly moving towards I looked over in the direction of the iron gate. I don’t know who shouted first, but none of the three people dared to delay. They turned around and rushed back to the supermarket, pulling down the iron door with a clang.
The green vines crackled against the iron door, and several bulges were dented in the heavy iron door.
It seems that as long as we go out and wander around a few more times, this iron door will not be able to hold up.
Back in the supermarket, the faces of the three people were extremely ugly. No one expected that so quickly, they would go from actively avoiding the world to now being unable to get out even if they wanted to.
"We can't stay in this place anymore..." Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "What do you think we should do now?"
"Even if you want to leave, you must take the things in the warehouse with you." Mather said through gritted teeth.
"It's not difficult to bring things. Let's find a few big trucks outside and move as many as we can. The problem is...how do we get out now? The only passage is blocked by those ghost Fujikos. "Yes." Lin Sanjiu asked with a sad face.
The three of them were quiet for a while, and Lu Ze suddenly said "Ah", and then a carp jumped up, turned around and ran towards the back of the supermarket, shouting loudly as he ran: "The elevator entrance is not the only way! Xiaojiu , take the key! There is a door at the back!"
This sentence reminded Mather, she clapped her hands and her face suddenly brightened: "Yes! How could I forget that!" Lin Sanjiu was pulled, and they hurriedly followed.
In a few seconds, the three people were standing at the back door of the supermarket. Ever since Lin Sanjiu appeared from the staff room, Lu Ze and Mather had completely forgotten about the back door. This was the first time Lin Sanjiu realized that there was another one that led to who knows where. the back door.
She opened the door with the key while praying silently.
God treated them well - there was a narrow **** behind the door, and after walking out of the slope, they found themselves standing behind a shopping mall with a row of huge trash cans. This seems to be a place where supermarket employees clean tools and dispose of garbage. Walking out from here, you quickly see a small road.
Looking at the shopping mall covered with green buds through the glass, it was the first time that several people felt that the cracked and black road was so cute.
What we have to do next is very clear.
First we need to find three cars. It was not difficult to find a car - almost 80% of the people were dead, and the city was full of cars with keys inserted and abandoned by people who had used up their gas and electricity. With little effort, the three people found two large cargo trucks and a bus.
I took the battery from the auto repair shop and replaced it, and added a few full boxes of oil from the gas station. The car finally started to move. I drove all three large cars onto the small road in one go, squeezing each other. It was difficult to park them side by side on the ground.
Three cars were filled to the brim with water from the supermarket, and there was still a lot left in the warehouse. However, a few people were not greedy. There was enough in the car, and the rest was piled on both sides of the street, leaving it to other survivors.
Before leaving, Lin Sanjiu brought a few barrels of gasoline, and Lu Ze and Mather prepared a whole box of wine.
"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu hugged a heavy brick and smiled at his companions. Seeing the two of them nodding, she shouted: "Okay, let's start throwing!"
As Lu Ze shouted excitedly, bricks, stones, chairs, and all kinds of things hit the glass doors and windows of the shopping mall covered with green plants like a meteor shower——
A series of crisp sounds resounded through half the street - glass fragments fell from the air like rain, shining with countless bright lights in the dark night sky.
The branches covering the glass were frightened and swayed in the air, not knowing who to attack. But before they could follow the human scent and find the culprit, bottles after bottles of spirits and barrels of gasoline flew in through the broken glass and landed on the plants. , suddenly splashed everywhere.
The last step of arson requires some skills - Mather, the fastest and lightest of the three, holds four or five polished matches in his hand~IndoMTL.com~It looks like a rabbit. I rushed to the door of the shopping mall, waved my hand, and a few lights of fire fell far away into the green.
The flames spread hissingly, not quickly, but firmly. Soon, the first floor was filled with a bright red firelight - before it burned for five minutes, a sharp hissing sound came from the lobby of the shopping mall, as if something was in pain. The leaves were waving wildly.
For some reason, Lin Sanjiu felt a sense of joy that she had not seen for a long time - she laughed a few times, waved to the two people beside her, and said with a loud laugh: "Let's withdraw!" He took the lead and ran out first.
A few people just ran out of a street when they heard a loud "boom". The top glass of the shopping mall was burned down and pressed down with an unstoppable force. Half of the building disappeared in the flames.
The trucks and buses were parked far away early in the morning. Three people each drove a car and embarked on an unknown journey under the last starlight before sunrise...
Shaking his head, Lin Sanjiu shook the scenes of last night out of his mind.
She glanced at the rearview mirror again with a solemn expression, then turned on the taillights. The large truck slowed down slowly and pulled over to the side of the road.
The truck driven by Lu Ze and the bus driven by Mather behind them also slowed down and stopped.
"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Lu Ze rolled up the car window and shouted in Lin Sanjiu's direction.
Lin Sanjiu pushed open the car door, jumped out, and stood in the middle of the road, holding a baton in his hand.
"Someone is following us." She frowned, enduring the yellow sand in the air.
