Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1900 A false alarm?
No matter how long you survive in a post-apocalyptic world, you can always discover a new form of despair.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know how long it had been since the oxygen was burned out of his blood. His thoughts, which had been considered complete and coherent before, were finally shattered into countless fragments of urgency, fear, and intensity.

The primal instinct of wanting to take another breath is far stronger than any desire that people can think of; as long as the air can flow into the lungs again, she can't wait to insert her hands into her breastbone and open her chest and lungs—— The ability flips back and forth between deep sleep and awakening, but it doesn't make much of a difference.

The water of the green lake wrapped her tightly and pressed down on her, unmoved at all.

All of Lin Sanjiu's struggles, hard work, and kicks fell into the continuous lake water, and were quietly absorbed by it, turning into a slowly spreading ripple.The hissing in her head and body was so sharp that it drowned out all her thoughts; but in her ears, there was only the endless silence in the depths of the Green Lake.

Time has long since ceased to exist.

When her movements gradually softened, she was still floating in place, not even rising an inch.Even the vivid fear just now was blurred and scattered; she slowly raised her head in the dull and silent lake, looking at the small dark green sky light in the distant high place, feeling a little dazed.

Following the trail of her friends from world to world, she ended up at the bottom of the lake surrounded by dungeons without even a single person. Did she lose this battle?
Even the vision began to abandon her, trying again and again, as if trying to slip away from the corner of her eyes.Lin Sanjiu kept his head up all the time, looking at the small ball of distant sky light, watching it gradually dim.

Before her eyes closed, a black spot appeared in the skylight.

The black spot was getting bigger and closer, and there was a straight shadow trailing behind it, which soon turned into a familiar shape that she knew; but Lin Sanjiu, who was on the verge of coma, still wanted to Can't figure out what it is.

The rectangular black shadow squeezed the lake water away, and stirred up layers of waves all the way, as if it was not affected by the resistance of the water, until it landed not far from Lin Sanjiu's head, shaking and pushing away the nearby waves. It was only when she saw the waves of the water that she finally recognized it: a large lighted sign that said "Sunset Hotel."

It's Kill Hotel!
Lin Sanjiu suddenly regained consciousness, and she shook off the hand that had been trying to calm down her struggle.She could feel that the lake that was weighing heavily on her, started to toss up and down as if unable to stand under the churning of the light board; during the swaying of the waves, the imprisonment on her body was being shaken again and again. Knock loose.

When the light board flicked across the water waves and paused slightly, she saw the timing and hit her consciousness at the same time as the next wave of the light board—from the suddenly widening gap in the lake, she kicked hard, Desperately rushed upwards.

Lin San's drinking water is average, but she can swim a short distance, not to mention that her life is at stake; she doesn't have to swim up the lake in one breath-she can't do it now-when she approaches the light sign, Grabbing its pole with one hand, he put his life on his hands. There was not even a single space in his mind for thinking, and everything was filled with suffocating cement.

The whole process of being dragged to the shore of the lake seemed to be something that happened to someone else in a dream. Except that she was finally able to breathe heavily again, Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember at all how she moved from the bottom of the lake to the shore of the lake that's it.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Lin Sanjiu's breathing was too deep and heavy, and even made a sharp hissing sound.Her shattered and scattered thoughts finally re-grew and merged together under the nourishment of the air; she blinked vigorously, and then realized that in front of her was the Killing Hotel.

That was not surprising; he must have sensed something was wrong in the lake, and had stretched out the lamp to save her.Other dungeons—by the way, other dungeons!

Lin Sanjiu was startled until this moment, and was about to sit up while propping himself up on the ground.

After the truck driver found out that she was a human, he went ashore first, which meant that the other copies must have known her identity; the Killing Hotel dragged her ashore, maybe it was forced by other copies.They came here just to see the living person, so naturally they wouldn't allow Youhu Park to keep her under the water——

"Hurry up and get rid of that thing on your body," Killing Hotel suddenly whispered, "Water, don't forget the water!"

what?
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, and then realized that he was referring to his own consciousness.

Now you still need to pretend you don't get wet?

That means...

The weakness and lingering fear of almost suffocation and coma receded a lot at this time, she quickly turned her head and looked around, and couldn't help being stunned.

Killing Hotel dragged her up from the other side of the lake, and the rest of the copies were standing on the other side.The dungeons stood in a few loose groups, surrounding the swollen giant in the center, without any tension at all. After seeing her go ashore, another dungeon shouted from a distance: "How about it, you didn't find anyone at the bottom of the lake." ?"

what happened?Why act like nothing happened?I couldn't see where the truck driver went.

Lin Sanjiu didn't even know how to react, he just shook his head subconsciously.

"The truck driver knows,"

After the copy turned around, she hurriedly whispered to the Killing Hotel: "He was trying to catch me at the bottom of the lake, didn't he come up first?"

"He found out that you are human?" Unexpectedly, the Killing Hotel was surprised, and asked: "Are you sure? After he came up, he said that he said a few words to you in the lake, but you ignored him and said He turned into a truck and looked at the bottom of the lake. There are no humans. He doesn’t like to stay in other people’s dungeons, so he came out first—what? Yuhu Park held you down just now? No...I’m looking at you I stayed at the bottom of the lake for too long, and felt something was wrong, so I deliberately said that I also stretched out a light sign to go down to check. To be honest, I’m not even sure if something really happened to you in the bottom.”

I don't know whether it was due to lack of oxygen for too long just now, or the current situation is enough to make people confused, Lin Sanjiu couldn't turn his head around.

The truck driver didn't discover his identity?

Could it be that after he grabbed his wrist, he really communicated through the copy channel as he said, but she misunderstood because she couldn't hear it?

Then why didn't he explain why she did something to the truck driver?

"I'm not sure whether the fresh food truck found you or not."

After listening to the Killing Hotel, he said in a low voice: "However, since your friend is not in the lake, you should leave quickly. There are too many dungeons here, and if there is a slight mistake, no one can keep you... Now the situation is getting more and more strange Well, logically speaking, Youhu Park obviously couldn't do anything to you just now."

Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered.

"We pinned him down." The Killing Hotel's words were obviously a metaphor—they didn't really pin down the swollen giant to the ground. "I explained to you that this dimensional space is formed by our energy, so we can use the space energy to suppress him in a many-to-one situation, preventing him from arbitrarily making arrangements in the copy...that is to say , He is going to do something to the people in the lake, it is impossible for us not to notice."

It was for this reason that the two thought that Lin Sanjiu's plan might succeed.She looked at the copy across the lakeshore, then at him. "but……"

Kill Hotel nodded. "Youhu Park really did it, but we really didn't notice it."

Why is this happening?

"Let me tell you," Yuhu Park said at this time, "There is no one at the bottom of my lake, how is it now? Are you satisfied now? Do you want to continue sending people down to take a look?"

One of the copies mumbled something, as if they thought the matter was boring.

No, she's running out of time.

Once the dungeons are gone, no one can hold Youhu Park in check, and Youhu Park can turn around and deal with her with peace of mind; the puppeteer's trap is impossible to have a second purpose other than to deceive her.Although the trap formed by the "Puppeteer" failed to catch her, it also managed to pull Lin Sanjiu from the dark to the bright—and then, force is enough.

Lin Sanjiu jumped up from the ground, grabbed Slaughter Hotel's arm, and whispered, "Let's go now!"

　It seems that the language problem in the doomsday world has always troubled everyone, and such discussions will come up from time to time. In fact, the answer to this question is quite simple, not only for the doomsday world, but also for any literary and artistic works with unrealistic backgrounds in the world: the story It is equivalent to another world line. What language people on that world line use to communicate and act, what characteristics are there in their language... are completely irrelevant.When the author presents that world line, she/he will naturally choose to tell the story in a language that their audience can understand.Doomsday uses Chinese because we all speak Chinese. As for whether Lin Sanjiu himself speaks Chinese, it is not necessarily, and it is irrelevant.

So the whole universe speaks English/Japanese/Chinese, that's because the author of this work is telling stories to the audience in English/Japanese/Chinese, which is essentially equivalent to a psychic + translator.Why did several languages ​​appear in the doomsday world? Because there are many languages ​​on that world line. In order to show the diversity of languages ​​in that world, the translation uses multiple languages ​​​​on this world line as examples...

I'm really sleepy today, and I can't be sure of the quality after writing another chapter, especially the transitional chapter is even more difficult to judge.Can't go on like this...
