Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 15 Kong Yun
Almost as soon as the sound entered the ear, the three people had already jumped from the ground.

Without even using it for half a second, Lin Sanjiu flipped his palm, firmly grasped the chef's knife, and asked sharply, "Who?"

Her voice contained a chilling meaning, and she fell into the darkness.

"Ah... don't be nervous, it's me, I'm Kong Yun downstairs."

This sentence came from the dark corridor in front of the nanny's room.Kong Yun's voice sounded a little tired, but she was relieved: "Great, so you have a flashlight here." She walked in without waiting for the three people in the room to invite her.

flashlight?where did it come from—

Immediately, the three of them realized what Kong Yun was referring to, and all of them suddenly complained inwardly.

The ability polish seemed to be too bright, and even Kong Yun who was at the emergency door could see the light. At this moment, only the sound of Kong Yun's slow footsteps came from the direction of the emergency door. Kicked the ability polish to the sofa.The small bottle turned into countless spots of light just before it hit the sofa, and quickly melted into the sofa, causing the house to suddenly darken.

"Hey? Why did you turn off the flashlight, I can't see it—" Kong Yun said with some dissatisfaction.

Lin Sanjiu frowned slightly, had an idea, and hurriedly said, "That was my cell phone just now, and it just happened to be out of power... Miss Kong, didn't we ask you to wait at home? Why did you come up?" After a pause, Her doubts surfaced: "By the way, how did you know I live here?"

While she was talking, she put her hand on the corpse's leg, and the ground was empty in a flash of white light.

Just as the card was squeezed into her hand, Kong Yun was already in the dark and walked into the living room.The moment her footsteps entered the living room, Lu Ze lit the lighter.

In the orange-red light, Kong Yun looked a little embarrassed: her face and body were covered with wet beads of sweat, and strands of hair were stuck to her forehead.Feeling the gazes of several people, she smiled embarrassedly at Lin Sanjiu: "The security guard told me before that you two are the owners of the top floor. Your house is too high, and I am tired from climbing up from the 26th floor. Enough..."

Although it has evolved, before the physical strength is strengthened, not everyone has the good physical strength of Lin Sanjiu.

She doesn't seem to be any different.

Only then did Lin Sanjiu put down the knife, still remembering the piece of paper that fell on the ground, and pulled out a smile: "Miss Kong, what are you doing here?"

"It's nothing," Kong Yun looked a little embarrassed, "I'm just staying at home alone, and my husband is gone again, so I'm really scared..."

This is not incomprehensible—the three looked at each other, and Lu Ze suddenly showed a row of small white teeth at her, and said with a smile, "Miss Kong, just in time for you to come up, it saves us from going down and calling you for a while. Look, we brought some rice with water, just to make some porridge to drink... Would you like to eat some together?"

Lin Sanjiu clapped his hands in his heart—this was a good reason!Otherwise, the three people do nothing and gather in the living room, which does not feel very natural.

Kong Yun was stunned for a while, glanced at the rice, and then smiled: "That's good! Although this rice is not suitable for making porridge, it is quite good. You rest, let me make it!"

"Okay, I'll help you." Mather picked up the rice bag and walked towards the kitchen.

Kong Yun seemed to still be curious about Mather after all, she quickly followed, and while walking, she asked, "You speak Chinese really well, where are you from..."

Seeing the two of them talking, they entered the kitchen and began to prepare porridge. At this time, Lu Ze calmly handed a hard piece to Lin Sanjiu.It turned out that he did not know when to pick up all the pieces of paper on the ground.

"By the way, this..." As soon as Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, the teenager interrupted her: "Go back and talk."

"Go back and talk? You mean you don't plan to take her back to the supermarket?" Lin Sanjiu responded quickly.

It seemed to be a subconscious sentence, but Lu Ze didn't think much of it. Hearing this, he frowned and looked embarrassed. ——Indeed, don’t bring Kong Yun, it seems that it is not very kind to throw her out, a person who has just evolved and has no ability; but a few people really don’t have the kind of trust she has experienced in life and death. Not quite right.

"Let's take a look, maybe she has an idea herself, so we don't need to decide for her." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help laughing at Lu Ze's wrinkled face, and said something comforting.

It seems that Kong Yun is usually in charge at home. Although there is no light, it does not hinder her neat movements - chopped two packets of vacuum brine chicken into small pieces, added a little seasoning, and boiled it with the porridge for half an hour. , there was a scent in the air.

Lu Ze, who hadn't eaten human food for more than a year, saliva suddenly filled his mouth.

"Come on, you can eat!"

Putting the porridge pot on the dining table, Mather found a few sets of tableware and filled out four bowls of porridge.The porridge that was just out of the pot was steaming hot, and the snow-white rice grains reflected brilliant light under the light of the lighter.Several people were blowing the air and stirring with spoons, and finally waited until they were ready to eat, and immediately scooped a spoonful.

Although the porridge is hot, it is not uncomfortable to eat - a pleasant warmth flows into the stomach, and there is still the sweet and salty taste of chicken porridge between the lips.Counting the time, in fact, Lin Sanjiu had eaten a more delicious salmon less than 24 hours ago, but somehow, this chicken porridge after the destruction of the world tasted like a lifetime ago.

Mather took a mouthful of porridge and calmly asked Kong Yun, "...Yesterday you were alone all the time, how did you live?"

Because Lu Ze wanted to eat, he had already put the lighter aside, so in the dark, he couldn't really see Kong Yun's expression.I just heard her say in a gloomy tone: "I've been looking for my husband since I woke up in the middle of the night. The phone couldn't get through, and the security guard downstairs passed out. I drove out a few times and saw a lot of people like crazy. Walking around on the street, I was so scared that I came back immediately. It was too hot until the morning, so I hid in my bathroom and slept in the past... I don't know how my husband is doing now. "

"Then... have you noticed anything different about yourself?"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, ah? What's different... I didn't find it. What are you referring to?" Kong Yun seemed a little surprised and knocked her spoon on the bowl.

Perhaps her advanced ability has not yet developed.Lin Sanjiu thought about it for a while. If he wants to explain the new world, evolutionary people, etc., I am afraid that it will be more convincing after the advanced ability is developed.So she smiled: "It's nothing, it's a long story, we'll tell you later. By the way, what are your plans for a while?"

Kong Yun didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "I want to go home and wait for my husband until he comes back. Maybe he will come back when, he should be anxious if he can't see me. By the way, let's eat faster. , I would like to invite you to see my husband's photos in a while, if you meet him outside, please remember to tell him to come home to me..."

Between her words, she didn't seem to realize that if she kept waiting, she would end up dying if she lacked food and water.

I'm afraid it's not that she doesn't realize it, but that she is willing to take this risk - even if there is only a slim hope.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became a little darker.After a while, Lin Sanjiu said, "...Okay, if you're short of food, we'll bring you some."

She didn't want to shatter the pillars of this woman so soon.Losing hope is as deadly to humans as the harsh conditions outside.

Kong Yun gratefully said thank you.

The small pot of porridge was quickly eaten up; after what Kong Yun had said just now, the three of them did not delay, they packed their things and went downstairs with her.

There are two households on each floor below the top floor, and the other one on the 26th floor seems to be vacant all the time, so when Kong Yun left, the door was unlocked, and it opened with a push.

As soon as the three entered the room, they were all stunned.

In the very elegantly decorated house, it is very bright at the moment.On the dining table, coffee table, and flower stand, there are large and small candlesticks with beautiful shapes—every candlestick is lit with a number of beautifully carved cream-colored candles.The fiery red candlelight and the faint fragrance filled the entire living room, as beautiful as a dream—and as hot as a nightmare.

Kong Yun, surrounded by candlelight, smiled shyly, with water glittering in her eyes.

"These candles were bought by my husband on his wedding anniversary. As soon as I got home that day, I saw candles all over the house, and he even cooked for me..." Her voice stopped. , pulled up his hair, and found a few photo frames as if nothing had happened.

"After the anniversary, he is going to throw the candle away. I don't agree. Look, isn't this useful?" Kong Yun sniffed and handed the photo to Lin Sanjiu with red eyes.

In the photo is an ordinary-looking man with a very gentle smile and snow-white teeth - Lin Sanjiu said with an "ah", "I have an impression of your husband, and I seem to have seen it downstairs."

At that time, there was a very angry woman on his phone who kept shouting something so loud that he could hear it outside the phone, which made Lin Sanjiu remember.

When she said this, Kong Yun's tears couldn't stop rolling down. "We quarreled that day...I really regret...I knew we would be separated, I definitely wouldn't yell at him. He is a very gentle person..."

Mather patted her shoulder lightly and sighed.

Lu Ze sat silently on the chair, like all men, he didn't seem to know what to say to the crying woman.

After comforting Kong Yun with a few words, Lin Sanjiu straightened up, his eyes wandered aimlessly around the house, and then he frowned in confusion.

If you look closely, this house is really strange.

The water dispenser in the living room is empty, but there is a full bucket next to it. It seems that the owner has no intention to put the bucket on it.

If the owner is not short of water to drink, the fish tank is empty, only a layer of ornamental stones and a small treasure chest are left, sitting in the fish tank dry.When I got closer, I smelled a strong fishy smell.

The strangest thing is the potted plants in this house.It is better to say that it is a potted plant, and it is better to say that it is a few pots of soil that should have been planted with plants.Now the plants are all gone, and there are only pits left in the soil, and some roots can be vaguely seen... A thought flashed through my mind quickly.

"Let me get you some water to drink? Is there any water in your refrigerator?" Lin Sanjiu asked abruptly after walking to the refrigerator after a few hurried steps.However, before Kong Yun could answer, she had already opened the refrigerator door.

The compartments of the refrigerator are almost empty, except for some plastic wrap – the kind that supermarkets use to wrap vegetables, and there’s a price tag on the plastic wrap that says “Best Organic Carrots, 14.98 ".On the left is a row of neat drinks. With just one glance, Lin Sanjiu can be sure that these drinks have never been touched.

It wasn't until this time that Kong Yun's somewhat panicked voice came from behind: "No, no need, I'm not thirsty, thank you."

Lin Sanjiu closed the refrigerator door and looked back at the hand that Mather had placed on Kong Yun. There seemed to be a heavy stone in his stomach.
