Doomsday Wonderland: One thousand one hundred and seventy-nine
[This is anti-theft, let’s go to bed first]
Among evolved humans, there is such an unwritten agreement - not to inquire about other people's abilities.
Because the abilities evolved are very strange and beyond imagination, every inconspicuous ability may become a trump card that saves one's life, so naturally, no one is willing to expose his trump card to others.
Even using abilities in front of others has become taboo unless it is absolutely necessary.
Lu Ze had already mentioned this to Lin Sanjiu - then why did Mather make such a request again?
"Don't get me wrong," Mather smiled, probably because she felt something was inappropriate. She is no longer young, and her smile shows a few faint lines: "At my current level, I can't know your advanced abilities. I can only analyze some basic data. Understand your basic skills. Data is also good for you... Of course it all depends on you. Want to try it?"
"Okay!" Lin Sanjiu agreed happily and stretched out her arm. "I believe you have no ill intentions."
——Besides, when they were struggling with the fallen species for a long time, she and Lu Ze both exposed their abilities. Neither of them are stupid. If he can guess Lu Ze's approximate abilities, then Lu Ze must have already had an estimate of his own abilities. There is no need to be secretive anymore.
The tips of the hard nails shone with a cold metallic light. They lightly touched Lin Sanjiu’s arm. As if she had been invited, the tips of the nails sank smoothly into her skin - she had just Feeling a slight pain, Mather had already retracted her nails and said with a smile: "Okay."
She dropped a round drop of blood into the palm of her hand. The blood drop immediately disappeared, and then Mather closed her eyes. Lin Sanjiu looked again and saw that the incision on his arm was too small and the bleeding had stopped long ago.
"Marthe's current ability is still relatively basic, so reading your data may be a little slower..." Lu Ze explained as if he was a little embarrassed: "All advanced abilities will be affected when used. It will be upgraded slowly, you will know later."
Lin Sanjiu thought of his strange abilities.
In other words, these broken cards will also be upgraded? What will it become? At least she should be allowed to transform items without restrictions...?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but remember that she had closed the iron gate twice - although the second time it only lasted a short second or two, but she didn't know if today's limit was also used up? It seems like we need to find a suitable opportunity to try it out...
While waiting for Mather to read the data, Lin Sanjiu chatted with Lu Zetian out of curiosity - after all, he had seen two more new worlds than she did, and many of the experiences were precious to her. It was unheard of, and she was sometimes amazed, sometimes amused, and sometimes frightened. Lu Ze probably hadn't chatted so happily with someone for a long time, and the two of them became quite close for a while.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, I looked at Mather again. She was still the same as before, with her eyes closed and silent.
"How long will it take Mather to read the data?" Lin Sanjiu finally asked.
"Uh...it looks like it will take at least another hour or two." Lu Ze looked a little embarrassed. "When Mather analyzed my data before, it didn't seem to take so long..."
"So long?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised. She immediately leaned down and looked up at the sky outside the car window - at this time, the dark night had faded a lot, and there was even a hint of gray in the east. Sitting back down, her face showed vague concern.
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a face?"
"It will be dawn soon." Lin Sanjiu murmured, turning to look at Lu Ze. "It's already so hot at night. When the sun comes out, the car will be basking in the sun... How high will the temperature be then?"
Lu Ze was stunned by her question, and the two looked at each other - Lin Sanjiu rubbed his eyebrows and said a little tiredly: "In two hours, I'm afraid we will all become ducks in the oven. ”
Although the car's fuel and electricity were sufficient to maintain the air-conditioning for a period of time, the coolness seemed so fragile under the fierce heat outside - and this was only at night. The poor air conditioner in the car may not be able to withstand the blazing sun during the day even if its wires burn out...
"You are familiar with this area, is there anything you can do?" Lu Ze's always relaxed expression couldn't help but become a little heavy.
There is a way. Nearby this apartment community is one of the most expensive shopping malls in the city. The building itself has lost its value - because a tall tropical plant forest is designed in the center of the mall. In order to achieve a transparent and natural visual effect, the ceiling is entirely made of transparent tempered glass. In the past, it was indeed a pleasant thing to walk beside the rich green plants with the sun on your shoulders, but now it is fatal.
But on the underground floor of the shopping mall, there is an imported supermarket covering a vast area. Not to mention the lack of direct sunlight, and plenty of drinking water...
As soon as Lin Sanjiu explained the situation in the center, Lu Ze suddenly became excited: "Supermarket! That's great! You don't know, Mather and I haven't eaten human food for more than a year! In the last new world, we ate compressed biscuits and marching rations every day. When the situation was bad, we even chewed tree bark. Oops, the one who suffered from constipation seemed to have a stone in his stomach..."
Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows and looked at him - Lu Ze suddenly realized that he had gone too far and coughed awkwardly: "You are right, none of us knew that the temperature would rise during the day. How much should be planned in advance?"
After a few soft discussions, the two of them quickly made a decision: first drive the car to the entrance of the shopping mall, find a shady place to park, and then Lu Ze would carry Mather on his back and go down together. Go to the supermarket. The food section in the imported supermarket occupies a large area, and coupled with the inventory in the warehouse, it should be more than enough to provide food for three people. Moreover, the location of this supermarket is also very ideal - if you are lucky, you might be able to settle down in the supermarket and use it as a base to spend a stable year...
Lin Sanjiu also knew that she might be a little too optimistic, and the actual situation might not be so ideal - but she never expected that even the first step in the plan, "reaching the entrance of the center," seemed to be It's almost an impossible task.
The shopping center is uniquely located on the main road in the heart of the city. A small area nearby is the famous city that never sleeps, with lights shining all night long and traffic flowing continuously. Coincidentally, this month is the "fifth anniversary" of the shopping mall, and it is open 24 hours a day throughout the month——
When the temperature soared last night, the first thought of countless people was to escape here to enjoy the cool air.
At this time, the cars on the main road crowded into a long queue with a loud roar, pushing Lin Sanjiu's car far to the end; and every car that could still start was in a state of chaos. Starting state - Squinting in the direction of the shopping mall, you can only vaguely see people lying on the ground at the fountain in front of the main entrance.
It seemed that it was impossible to drive there - Lin Sanjiu slapped the steering wheel hard and planned to reverse the car. However, she just looked up and realized that within a short time, a new car had appeared in the rearview mirror, blocking their Audi firmly in the middle of the traffic.
"The power has been out for several hours, why are there still people coming in this direction?"
In the middle of countless hot engines, the disadvantages of a broken window are revealed: the pitiful cool air blown by the air conditioner cannot resist the heat rushing in from the cracks in the window—— Lu Ze's fair skin had gradually begun to show patches of blush, like a big rabbit.
Lin Sanjiu sighed: "Maybe he wants to escape from the city... This is a main road. If you walk from here, you can get on to several intercity expressways. Let's wait, the cars behind will definitely have to Let’s go——”
But in these two short sentences, several new cars were added to the tail of the car queue - the first one noticed that something was wrong in the front, and I don't know if it was panicking, but even gave a warning. No, as soon as he turned the steering wheel and walked back, he suddenly crashed into the front of the car coming from behind, and a plume of smoke immediately billowed out.
Lin Sanjiu exclaimed in low voice, and then cursed. The car that walked back and hit it again was a Land Rover. At this moment, its huge body swung sideways and blocked half of the road. In addition, the front of the other car was destroyed. He couldn't move, and now his escape route was completely cut off.
A car that had just arrived in the distance immediately turned around in panic and ran away.
Except for Mather, who was unaware of what was going on, both people in the car sighed. What else can be done now? I had to abandon the car and walk. ~IndoMTL.com~ The sky turned into duck egg blue. Although it was not as bright as during the day, visibility was no longer a problem.
"How much water do we have?" Lu Ze licked his dry and flaky lips, worried.
Lin Sanjiu looked at her backpack - in fact, she knew even without looking that there was no bottle of mineral water in the bag, and there were only three unopened cans of Coke, which were still warm to the touch.
Considering the two people's physical conditions, she threw a can of Coke over: "There are exactly three cans of this left, drink it quickly! If you can't replenish water, at least add some sugar - we will consume a lot in a while. ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Ze was stunned as soon as he opened it and took a sip. He hiccupped and asked "What is this?" - It turned out that in his original world, there was no Coca-Cola Company. Seeing him smacking his lips while finishing the drink, Lin Sanjiu also threw away the empty can in his hand and asked, "Are you ready?"
Lu Ze nodded.
She took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car - air that seemed dozens of times hotter than before rushed towards her face.
