Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1798 Empty City and Hope

"How did you make it like this?" Si Lu asked in disbelief.

Just like a survivor in distress in a film and television drama, Lin Sanjiu is now also wrapped in a quilt, holding a cup that is slowly steaming.But this is not a means of comfort for her, but a necessary emergency measure: under the quilt, she still has two stoves that Si Lu found somewhere.

This aircraft is not too big, but it has complete facilities and is very comfortable. It can be regarded as a very luxurious means of transportation for walking in the clouds; at this moment, Lin Sanjiu is sitting close to the ventilation hole on the ground, and the hot wind is blowing into the interior of the quilt. But it's not enough.

Even if she doesn't look in the mirror, she knows that she must be pale and purple now; even though the surface temperature of her body is gradually recovering, she still seems to be cold from the bottom of her bones, shivering from the cold, and it is difficult to give a complete answer To Silu.

The cold wind at high altitude was nothing compared to what happened after falling into the depths of the haze layer.

"I, I didn't expect..." She chattered her teeth and almost bit her tongue. "There are some things under the smog... yes, they use freezing... to hunt..."

Those are things that capture prey by freezing the environment; Lin Sanjiu just fell into their lair.Now just thinking back to the half hour that was so difficult that even her memory was blurred, she felt that even her thoughts were about to freeze again.

Silu still looked incredible. "Then why don't you run?"

If you were frozen into the ice, you run one and I have a look.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know how many words were going on in his belly, but unfortunately his lips, teeth and tongue were not very good, so he had to swallow his breath; Si Lu was not very good at taking care of others, but fortunately, there were abundant heating resources, both hot water and stove, so tossing for a while After a while, Lin Sanjiu finally gradually returned to his usual color, and the hair that was wet when he had to wipe his body with ice and snow at first was also dry.

"That is to say..." After listening to her narration, Si Lu pondered for a while and said, "You have lost the news for so long and spent so much effort, but you still haven't found out why the Shadow Palace and the old woman teamed up to arrest ordinary people."

The man didn't speak very well, she almost forgot.

Lin Sanjiu scratched his face and changed the subject. "Are you sure that the Shadow Palace teamed up with the old woman? If they just happened to appear in Fanjia City..."

"I'm basically sure of this point." Si Lu sat in a chair, and compared with Lin Sanjiu who was in a mess on the ground, he looked very relaxed. "During the time you sneaked back to Fanjia City, I was not idle. Do you know that there is a fallen species experience exhibition in the Twelve Realms recently?"

Lin Sanjiu never expected to hear this name again here and now. "Not only do I know," she said with a wry smile, "I've had bad luck there. Isn't it closed? I heard it on the radio."

After she briefly told about that experience, Si Lu was a little dazed. "Your unlucky mark is everywhere in the twelve worlds, isn't it?"

"Actually, there are more than twelve realms," Lin Sanjiu said honestly.

"All in all," Si Lu waved his hand, as if he didn't know how to make an evaluation, and said, "I learned from my internal sources that the Shadow Palace has reached an agreement with this Corrupted Species Experience Exhibition...the experience exhibition is closed Afterwards, they rented those fallen species, introduced them into Fanjia City, and finally completely scared away the local evolutionists. I didn't know how they controlled the fallen species, but now it seems that those fallen species may be full of shadow palaces The operator, the action is so restrained, did not expand the chaos. After taking back the fallen seeds, they sent a few spaceships to Fanjia City. From the time point of view, it was just before you met the old woman. Not long after you disappeared , the entire Fanjia City has been sealed off, you can’t get in, you can’t get out.”

In other words, the old woman came with the shadow hall.

Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and said: "I really don't understand, they are spreading rumors, artificially concocting mutants, and even renting corrupted species to drive away the management organization in Fanjia City... It took so much Kungfu is to catch four or five thousand ordinary people in Fanjia City? But why?"

Si Lu spread his hands. "This question, I originally hoped that you could answer me."

"Where are the rest of the people in the city?" Lin Sanjiu recovered a lot, got out of the quilt, and turned off the stove.

Silu's answer surprised her. "There is no one left in the city."

"what?"

"I have contacted Badude," Si Lu replied, "after all, there is a sub-space filled with mutants in the city, I must remind them. Badude also almost lost his life, but his experience said It's a long story, and it's not too late for me to tell you later... He told me that there is no ordinary person in the city now."

"Not even one..."

"He told me that after he managed to recover some mobility from his serious injury, he immediately gathered all the ordinary people in the city together. He originally thought that everyone would get together and take care of each other. This way The safety of everyone was indeed guaranteed...but only for a day or two. When he woke up yesterday morning, he found that he was the only one left in the assembly area." Si Lu said slowly, "He said, Everyone in the city disappeared. He wandered alone in Fanjia City looking for someone, but everywhere was empty. His broadcasts also went silent, and there was no response."

I'm afraid they were all taken to the factory.

The Shadow Palace and the old women showed such a gluttonous sense of greed towards ordinary people, and they refused to let even one of them go.

Lin Sanjiu sat on the ground in a daze, and a scene could not be restrained in his mind: the old woman was walking among the sleeping people, and every time she took a step, one of the ordinary people under her feet disappeared; , only the eight-headed German who is still ignorant is left in place.

"I had some doubts about him at first," Si Lu said with a sigh, "but now I just feel sorry for him."

When Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a while, he said again: "Batoude also asked me to tell you that the missing person message you asked him to send has been spread to every channel as far as he can. He said , he doesn’t know if the people in Fanjia City can go back safely, but I hope at least you can find your lost relatives and friends.”

Lin Sanjiu exhaled tremblingly, and immediately took out the personal terminal of "Beacon Fire Beacon Smoke"—it's not that she doesn't trust Batou De, but only after hearing the missing person message with her own ears, did she feel the fire burning in her chest. hope is real.

Thinking that when she returned to Exodus, she might see Yu Yuan and the gift bag waiting for her there, it was as if a corner of her heart was suddenly loosened and filled with blood again.Lin Sanjiu bit her lip, almost couldn't help but wanted to rush back to Exodus immediately, and asked, "What should we do next? I hope to go back to the spaceship to have a look..."

Among other things, she still hasn't forgotten that there is a Pengping locked up on the spaceship - after all, she has been gone for about ten days. Even if she is an evolutionary, Pengping cannot be locked up indefinitely, otherwise Sooner or later you will starve to death.

Silu was silent for a while.

"I have received several urgings from the organization in the past few days, asking me to go back quickly." When he said this, perhaps seeing Lin Sanjiu's face, he smiled faintly and said, "I'm very happy." Clearly, once I go back, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out...Since we lost the clues to the factory for a while, I’ll go with you. Didn’t you say that you need a solution craftsman? I can just take you there Hire one."

　This is a transitional chapter... Recently, I suddenly wanted to read horror novels, and I read two in a row. How can I say, it's really peaceful, not scary at all.And one page after another, it turns out that the protagonist is mentally abnormal and has been going crazy. This is really... "Do you think I have a lot of time?".I know you can't write about ghosts, but isn't that too much?

Now I have borrowed a book of short stories written by Stephen King in the 70s. I hope it will be better. Do you have any recommendations?
