Chapter 22

If you only use the naked eye to see it, the scorching sun hanging high in the air at the moment seems to be no different from previous summers. The dazzling sunshine was cast from the blue sky and spread to the earth, revealing the shocking malice.

Every street is covered with human corpses that are scalded and shriveled and curled up in a mass. The buildings cracked under the high temperature, and some houses with poor quality had long collapsed into hill like fragments. The ground was cracked, and occasionally a fairly strong degenerate species could be seen cruising among the ruins. It's only a little more than a month, and the outside world has lost even a little popularity. It's hard to believe that this was once a highly developed human civilization.

The air is dry and hot, and I don't know where those evaporated rivers, lakes and seas have gone. Looking around, there is no half green in the place where you can see. Where the truck rumbles by, it will immediately roll up bursts of thick yellow dust and smoke half a person high, which makes it almost difficult to see things.

Lin Sanjiu, sitting in the driver's seat of the truck, couldn't help glancing in the rearview mirror.

Behind her was another freight truck of the same model, followed by a bus with a long body. This is not the focus of Lin Sanjiu's eyes. She narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at a black smoke rising in the sky in the distance.

The place where the black smoke rose was the shopping center that had housed them for a month.

After living for so long, he finally had to leave... Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but return to a month ago.

After Lin Sanjiu accidentally found the full supermarket warehouse, the three people were really happy at that time - they didn't even need to count. Just look at it with their eyes. The water stored in the warehouse must be enough for them to survive 14 months. Living in an underground supermarket without worrying about direct sunlight is really ideal!

The only problem is the small tropical forest in the hall outside.

After all, people are still greedy for comfort - several people discussed it and felt that in the current situation, as long as they stay closed in the underground supermarket, the outside botanical forest can't do anything to them. It happened that they had been thrilling in recent days, which consumed a lot of their physical strength. In the name of recuperation and adjustment, the three people simply settled down in the supermarket.

This recuperation lasted more than two weeks. Because they had enough to eat and drink, the iron gate was closed, and there were no foreign enemies, the three people lived a comfortable life for the first time in the new world - so that two or three weeks later, Lin Sanjiu accidentally pinched his waist and found that he had meat.

This extra fat is like a slap in the face - it's not that Lin Sanjiu was worried about her figure at the end of the world, but that she suddenly thought of a sentence in her Chinese class in middle school, "born of sorrow, but died of happiness."

Think carefully. In the past twoorthree weeks, I have never generated any ability, and the advanced ability is still the same, with no meaning of evolution at all. It's not easy to say that generative ability. However, in the days when the new world just arrived, she quickly generated a comprehensive physical fitness increase under numerous crises - indicating that the current time span is absolutely 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 - that is, for the sake of safety, he can also exercise himself.

The idea is very good, but I didn't expect that once the iron door was opened, all three people were stupid.

When I opened the door, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, but the elevator leading to the hall on the first floor was still shrouded in thick darkness.

Lin Sanjiu looked ahead foolishly and asked in a low voice, "is the sun setting so early now?"

Lu Ze was speechless. Suddenly, mather stretched out his hand and shouted, "look!", Lin Sanjiu and Lu Ze looked in the direction she pointed, and immediately their viscera were completely cold——

The darkness covering the elevator seemed to feel something, and moved a little - it didn't matter, a little sunshine immediately poured in, and immediately revealed the green twined by half of the branches and leaves. The three realized that the reason why the iron gate was dark was that it was covered by plants.

Then, more and more shadows moved, and dozens of green vines, large and small, seemed to smell human taste. As a child, they came alive one by one, and slowly poked their heads in the direction of the iron gate. I don't know who shouted first. None of the three dared to delay. They turned and rushed back to the supermarket, slamming the iron door down.

Green vines crackled on the iron door, and several drums were concave inward from the heavy iron door.

It seems that as long as you go out for a few more times, this iron door will not hold.

Back in the supermarket, the faces of the three people were extremely ugly. No one expected that so soon, they had changed from active avoidance to being unable to get out now.

"We can't stay in this place..." Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "what do you say now?"

"Even if you want to leave, you must take the things in the warehouse." Mather said, biting her teeth hard.

"It's not difficult to bring things. Let's find a few big trucks outside and carry as many as we can. The problem is... How do we get out now? The only way is blocked by those ghost vines." Lin Sanjiu asked with a sad face.

The three men were quiet for a while, Lu Ze suddenly "ah", and then a carp jumped up, turned and ran towards the back of the supermarket. While running, he shouted loudly, "the elevator entrance is not the only way! Xiaojiu, you take the key! There is a door behind!"

This reminded mather. She slapped her face and said, "yes! How can I forget that!" They also hurriedly followed up after a pull of Lin and San Jiu.

In a few seconds, three people stood at the back door of the supermarket. Since Lin Sanjiu appeared in the staff room, Luze and mather had forgotten the back door completely. It was the first time for Lin Sanjiu to know that there was a back door leading to nowhere.

As she prayed silently, she opened the door with the key.

God treated them well - there was a narrow slope behind the door. Walking out of the slope, several people found themselves standing behind the shopping center with a row of huge garbage cans. This seems to be the place where the supermarket staff clean up tools and dispose of garbage. Walking out from here, I soon saw a small road.

Looking through the glass at the shopping center full of green shoots, several people felt that the cracked and blackened road was so cute for the first time.

What to do next is very clear.

First, we need to find three cars. It's not difficult to find a car - almost 80% of the people are dead, and the city is full of cars with keys and abandoned by people who run out of oil and electricity. With little effort, the three found two large freight trucks and a bus.

I took the battery from the garage to replace it, and filled a few boxes of oil from the gas station. Finally, the car was able to move - I drove all three big cars to the small road in one breath, and it was hard to stop side by side in a crowded way.

The water in the supermarket filled three cars, but there was still a lot left in the warehouse. However, a few people were not greedy. There were enough in the car, and the rest were piled on both sides of the street, leaving other survivors.

Before leaving, Lin San brought a few barrels of gasoline, and Luze and mather prepared a whole box of wine.

"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu held a heavy brick and smiled at his partner. Seeing the two nodded, she shouted, "OK, start throwing!"

As Luze shouted with excitement, bricks, stones, chairs, and all kinds of things hit the glass doors and windows covered with green plants in the shopping center like a meteor shower——

A series of crisp noises rang through half the street - glass fragments fell from the air in succession as if it were raining, shining countless bright lights in the dark sky.

The branches covered on the glass were frightened and swayed in the air. For a moment, I didn't know who to attack. But before they could find the culprit along the human taste, bottles of spirits and barrels of gasoline flew in from the broken hole of the glass and landed on the plants, splashing everywhere.

The last step of arson requires some skills - Martha, the fastest and lightest of the three, holds four or five lighted matches in her hands, rushes to the door of the shopping center like a rabbit, shakes her hand, and a few lights fall into the green far away.

The flames hissed and spread, slow but firm. Soon, the first floor was covered with a red flame - before it burned for five minutes, there was a sharp hiss in the hall of the shopping center, as if something was in pain, and all the leaves were waving frantically.

I don't know why, Lin Sanjiu actually felt a long lost pleasure - she laughed a few times, waved to the two people beside her, laughed loudly and said, "let's go!" With that, he ran out first.

Several people just ran out of a street, only to hear a loud bang. The top glass of the shopping center was burned down, and it was pressed down with an irresistible force, and half of the buildings disappeared in the flames.

Trucks and buses were parked far away early in the morning. Three people drove a car, braved the last star light before sunrise, and embarked on an unknown journey

After shaking his head, Lin Sanjiu threw the scenes of last night out of his mind.

She looked at the rearview mirror with a dignified face, then turned on the tail light, and the truck slowly slowed down and leaned against the roadside.

Lu Ze's truck and mather's bus behind him slowed down one by one and then stopped.

"What's the matter? Why don't you leave?" Lu Ze rolled open the window and shouted in the direction of Lin Sanjiu.

Lin Sanjiu pushed the door open, jumped down, and stood in the middle of the road, holding a baton in his hand.

"Someone is following us." She frowned and endured the yellow sand in the air.
