Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 9: Doomsday supermarkets cost nothing
It's too hot.
This kind of heat would be unimaginable unless you were living in it - the sweat just evaporated and dried up immediately, followed immediately by another layer of hot sweat. Lin Sanjiu felt as if his body system had turned into a lingering old dog, "huffing and puffing" to survive in the hot air.
In comparison, Lu Ze looks much stronger. Even though he was carrying Mather on his back, he looked more calm than Lin Sanjiu. He noticed it himself and asked loudly: "Hey, are you... strong...?"
"What?" Lin Sanjiu also raised her voice and shouted. The sound of the car engines around her was too loud. Lu Ze was only on the other side of the car, so she couldn't hear clearly.
"I said-" Lu Ze walked around the car in a few steps and walked over. Mather on his back was taller than him, and his feet were dragged on the ground. "Have you not been physically strengthened?"
Having just uttered two words, Lin Sanjiu felt that her tongue was dry, and it went all the way into her throat. She did not dare to speak again, so she could only shake her head and signal Lu Ze to leave quickly. Lu Ze looked surprised, as if he wanted to say something - but where is the time for small talk now? He nodded quickly and began to arduously walk through the traffic that was constantly spraying hot air outwards.
Every few steps, Lin Sanjiu would raise her hand to wipe her eyelids. She was sweating too much, and it dripped into her eyes just now. It was so hot and uncomfortable that she couldn't help but doubt herself: Could it be that the "high temperature adaptation" was time-sensitive? Otherwise, why was she not so hot at first, but now she was sweating like rain?
If this continues, can we still rush to the supermarket before dehydration?
The two of them looked around in silence - there was a guardrail in the middle of the road, which was intended to divide the traffic into two directions. But when the crisis comes, there are too few people who can still abide by the traffic rules. At this time, the cars on both sides are entangled in a mess, some going forward and some going wrong...
If he climbed over the guardrail, it would not only be a burden on his body and inconvenient to carry Mather on his back, but it would also mean having to cross a stream of hot traffic - which would be really fatal.
Invariably, both of them walked towards the end of the queue.
The driver of the Land Rover was a skinny woman; when the two passed by, Lin Sanjiu found that she had fallen into the car, with sunken eye sockets and no information about who she was - I am afraid that she had been short of water along the way and had already appeared. He suffered symptoms of dehydration and unconsciousness, and then crashed the car in a panic.
In the car that was hit by a Land Rover, the air conditioner was no longer working. However, thanks to the previous air conditioner, the middle-aged fat man driving the car was miraculously still awake. , and stared at them closely.
When Lin Sanjiu passed by his car, the fat man slammed the car window at her several times.
To be honest, Lin Sanjiu is not a hard-hearted person; but at this time, she is about to heat up. How long she can hold on is still a question, and she can't squeeze out any extra compassion, she can only frown. He glanced at the fat man with a frown.
Through the glass, the fat man's voice was unclear: "It's... hot outside... can I leave?"
Lin Sanjiu probably guessed what he meant, shook her head, and walked away. The heat radiating from the car made the already bad situation even more unbearable. She really couldn't stand in front of the car and chat with strangers.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the fat man suddenly became anxious and pushed open the car door: "I'm talking to you. Stop - aren't you just walking outside? I..." Before he finished speaking, Suddenly there was a piercing scream.
The scream was filled with numbing pain, even drowning out the sound of the engine. Lin Sanjiu turned around and found that the fat man's exposed skin had burst into a series of blisters without being injured——
Bright red and blood-filled blisters burst out on his skin. It was as if scalding boiling water had been poured on the fat man's face and hands, with pieces of shockingly broken skin appearing. His screams of pain continued, and Lin Sanjiu couldn't bear it any longer. He held Lu Ze steady with one hand, raised his feet, kicked him back into the car, and then slammed the door.
The screams of pain suddenly became softer, and seeing that the fat man's burns seemed to no longer continue - Lin Sanjiu took a breath and exchanged a frightened look with Lu Ze.
It turned out that it was not that her abilities had declined, but that the outdoor temperature had risen to a terrifying level: an ordinary person would suffer a direct burn reaction when exposed to such air - something Lin Sanjiu could no longer imagine. The temperature is now.
"Don't think about it, let's go!" Lu Ze, who had always been talkative, began to cherish his words like gold.
The two of them hurriedly walked out of the traffic jam and left hundreds of engines behind, and then they felt a little better. After crossing the road and walking onto the sidewalk planted with trees, the two of them didn't dare to delay and headed straight towards the shopping mall.
The leaves on the roadside have long lost their green, and they are charred, black and dry, huddled under the trees. From time to time, Lin Sanjiu would see a few people lying motionless on the ground - every inch of their skin was covered in burns, and their bodies had long since stopped moving.
No matter how strong she was, it was the first time for Lin Sanjiu to see so many dead people - she swallowed with some fear and nausea, but her mouth was dry and there was no moisture at all.
"Let's drink the rest of the Coke!" Lu Ze's hoarse voice came from behind.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and took out the last can of Coke. There is plenty of water in the supermarket, so there is no need to risk it outside to save it. The Coke that I couldn't finish in one breath in the past felt like it was too little this time - neither of them cared about whether it tasted good or not, so they drank half of the hot Coke and half of it.
Throwing away the can and walking for a while, the main entrance of the shopping center gradually became clear.
The fountain pool that used to never stop was dry and cracked, as if it had never been wet. However, several corpses lying face down in the pool showed that this fountain was once their last glimmer of hope. The corpses whose skin had been scalded after death were lying in pieces everywhere, which was shocking.
Lin Sanjiu lowered his head, carefully avoiding the corpses on the ground, and jumped forward. Occasionally, when he looked up, he found that Lu Ze was carrying Mather on his back and had walked in front of him at some point.
I was just wondering why he was walking so fast, and I immediately got the answer: Lu Ze didn't seem to care at all, stepped on the back of a corpse that looked like a young mother, and walked into the shopping mall as if walking on flat ground. 's door.
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly took a few steps, chased after him, and slapped him on the arm angrily: "Can't you show more respect to the dead?" After just saying a word, his throat felt so dry that it hurt.
Lu Ze was startled by her, his expression was slightly confused, and then he realized: "Oh, oh! That... I'm sorry, I have seen too many dead people, so I'm probably a little numb." He Showing a rabbit tooth in embarrassment: "I'm just starting out, and I'm the same as you."
Seeing his good attitude, Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything even if she felt uncomfortable, so she changed the subject: "Go over there, there's an elevator and you can go down there!"
Lu Ze nodded, then looked up at the shopping mall and praised softly: "It's really beautiful here..." Without stopping, he followed Lin Sanjiu all the way to the supermarket.
It is said that this shopping mall was designed by a famous French architect - it is five stories high, with an empty center and dense tropical plants. Probably because of the layering, tropical trees have grown all the way to the elevator on the fifth floor. When walking here, it feels like walking in a primeval forest.
But there is no time to appreciate it now. Lin Sanjiu took a quick glance and felt something was wrong. For a moment, she couldn't explain why, so she could only shake her head and rush off the elevator.
When they saw the supermarket, both of them couldn't help but take a breath.
The situation was worse than Lin Sanjiu expected - she was definitely not the only one who could think of this supermarket; but the situation in this supermarket still made her feel unexpected.
This supermarket was obviously in business last night when the temperature was unusually high, so it was packed. Of course, these people could no longer move or speak at this time. They lay on the ground and turned into corpses. The chaos of last night seemed to have been solidified: there were empty bottles rolling down everywhere, mineral water bottles, beverage bottles... The beige floor was littered with traces of dried fruit drinks. The drink rack seemed to have been looted, with the last few bottles of water lying in a mess, and several dead people on the ground were holding a bunch of drinks tightly in their arms.
The most shocking thing is that the cause of death of one cashier was obviously not dehydration-the back of her head was deeply deflated, and the cash register in front of her was wide open and empty.
Lu Ze clicked his tongue twice: "The person who stole the money should be stupid now!"
"If he is not dead yet. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lin Sanjiu was already thirsty and thirsty. He took out a bottle of water from the arms of a corpse at the door and drank half of the bottle without hesitation. , handed it to Lu Ze.
It seems that although the supermarket is full of corpses and has gone through a lot of chaos, it should not be a problem to maintain food and water for three people at least for now. Luze was already tired after carrying Mather all the way, so he put her on the floor and muttered: "Obviously she is not a real person, why is she still so heavy..."
Lin Sanjiu was sitting on a cashier counter where there was no dead person, resting. When he heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "I've wanted to ask for a long time... I was embarrassed before Marcel was here. That fallen man What does it mean when he says she has fake blood and fake flesh?"
"She is my differentiated personality. In a sense, she is also an independent person." Lu Ze said while drinking water, "However, her real degree depends on my ability...Now I am not capable enough, so there are many things about Mather that are not...well, perfect."
Lin Sanjiu nodded and did not ask any further questions. The two of them replenished their fluids and rested for a while, then they felt their empty stomachs and stomachs feeling uncomfortable.
"Let's go to the food area and have a look?" Lin Sanjiu suggested.
"Wait a minute." Lu Ze stopped her, looked around, and asked, "Is there anything handy here that can be used as a weapon?"
