Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2 Hot Steak Night

What is the difference in temperature between 12:1 and [-]:[-] at night?
If it is normal, I am afraid that almost no one can feel it.

But tonight was obviously different.The sun had long since disappeared, but the burning sensation in the air seemed to be getting warmer with each passing minute; to make matters worse, there had been no wind for several days.What floats outside the window is not air at all, but clouds of hot, suffocating sand ready to hit your face.

As if someone had conveyed an order, the outdoor units of the last few houses in the city that did not turn on the air conditioner for various reasons also turned on one after another.People without air conditioners can't hold on anymore, bars, 24-hour convenience stores, corporate units... wherever there is a trace of cool air, just go there.

Three or ten minutes later, with a soft click, several night vision lights in the apartment on the 10th floor suddenly went out.The house was plunged into absolute darkness—the slight "humming" sound that had been lingering in the bedroom had quietly stopped at some point.

The central air conditioner is not blowing.

Not long after the air-conditioning stopped, Lin Sanjiu turned over irritably in his dream.Without the 26° air-conditioning, a layer of sticky sweat quickly formed on her body. This layer of sweat was like an airtight cover, and she was awakened by the heat after a while.

Hmm... the remote seems to be on the bedside table...

This thought flashed through her dazed mind, and just as she was about to reach out to touch it, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.Lin Sanjiu froze, immediately stopped his hands and did not move. After a while, he quietly narrowed his eyes and looked up.

A snow-white face hung directly above her face, and two black hole-like eyes were staring straight at her in the dark night.

Again! --Again--!
A scream erupted in Lin Sanjiu's mind, but her throat was so dry that she couldn't make any sound—her heartbeat became faster and louder—the white face listened slightly, With a swipe, he suddenly moved closer to Lin Sanjiu.

Two weeks ago, she woke up thirsty in the middle of the night, got up, and bumped into this face all at once.At that time, Lin Sanjiu screamed in fright, and turned on the light, only to find out that it was Ren Nan——

Ren Nan sat next to her at some point, with an expressionless face in the dark night, and I don't know how long he stared at her like this - just like tonight.

At that time, Ren Nan said that he often sleepwalked since he was a child.

If it wasn't for Lin Sanjiu's doubts, maybe she would really believe it.At this time, she suppressed her fear and pretended not to wake up, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, and asked tremblingly, "Ren Nan, are you sleepwalking again?"

Ren Nan's face cracked into a silent smile in the darkness, and he articulated very clearly: "Yeah, I'm making an old mistake again. Didn't it scare you?"

"Yes, a little..." Lin Sanjiu got out of bed almost as if fleeing, and stood at the door—this illusion of being able to escape at any time made her calm down a little, and only then did she feel the steaming steamer in the room again. temperature.

"Why is it so hot? Did you turn off the air conditioner?"

Ren Nan didn't speak, just reached out and pulled, and the heavy curtains quickly receded to both sides, revealing a piece of floor-to-ceiling windows.Usually through this window, what Lin Sanjiu sees is the bright night view of half the city.But tonight, this city has lost its ever-lasting radiance, even the starlight has disappeared, leaving only darkness.

In the house with the doors and windows closed, it was suffocatingly hot.

"The electricity burden is too great. It looks like the whole city is cut off." Ren Nan's voice was still smiling, revealing a sense of relief.As he spoke, he stood up slowly, walked around the foot of the bed, and walked towards the door step by step.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly had an alarm in his head, before he could approach, he turned around and ran towards the living room.The arrangement of the apartment for the past three months has finally provided her with a little reward: in the darkness where she could not see her fingers, she still rushed into the entrance of the living room smoothly, and before she had time to take a breath, she snapped He reached out and smashed the elevator button.

The expected red didn't light up—how ​​could such an expensive apartment have no backup power system?
"The backup power supply is only for the corridor lights, and they don't care about the elevators—especially the private elevators." The voice she had listened to for half a year sounded behind her.Ren Nan was still so gentle, but Lin Sanjiu heard the sound of water when he was uttering the words.It's as if... Ren Nan couldn't control the saliva in his mouth...

In the darkness, the vague silhouette representing Ren Nan paced towards her and finally stopped in the middle of the living room.

Lin Sanjiu only felt dizzy in his head.Her sixth sense was right—a pang of regret welled up in her heart: "You...what do you want to do?"

"You're quite sober," Ren Nan sucked in a mouthful of saliva, "you should have felt it a long time ago, right? But you should learn to listen to your intuition... Otherwise, you wouldn't come back here with me." Here you go. You probably have had a lot of psychological struggles these days... Thank you so much for your trust in me."

Lin Sanjiu didn't notice it herself, but her hands tightly clenched into fists were trembling uncontrollably.

"Xiaojiu, do you sweat a lot on such a hot day?" Ren Nan suddenly asked with concern.

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, and subconsciously touched his arm.She only sweated a little—but—why ask this at this time?
Ren Nan nodded in the dark as if satisfied. "Little wine is awesome! It's not in vain that I trained you for half a year..."

What the hell is he talking about - I can't understand a word!
Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth to say something, only to realize that his teeth were chattering violently.The thought that had been floating in her heart for several days made her ask a sentence that she thought she would never say: "You...do you want to eat me?"

The dark figure let out a satisfied praise: "This intuition is so sharp."

Lin Sanjiu was irritated by his attitude - fear, anger, confusion, mixed emotions, she seemed not so at a loss, and the next words spewed out like a tide: "Stop joking, you Who the hell! Why did you come to me? Let me tell you, don't mess around, all your friends know that I live with you..."

She purposely raised her voice, hoping secretly that someone could hear her, while quietly groping towards the open kitchen on the side of the living room.

Ren Nan sighed. "Anyway, you've been with me for six months, so I'll give you an understanding." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

With a sudden "boom", a glass wall in the living room suddenly shattered into thousands of pieces—accompanied by vague screams from far outside, a heat wave that Lin Sanjiu had never experienced wrapped the glass fragments , swept into the apartment.The last bit of coolness left by the central air conditioner was swallowed up and disappeared in an instant.

W-how is it so hot?It was as if someone had set the whole city on fire!
Before Lin Sanjiu could react, Ren Nan's gentle voice sounded again: "Starting tonight, this world is no longer the earth you are familiar with. In this new world, according to your measurement method, It's... oh, 56 degrees Celsius."

Lin Sanjiu was stunned. 56 degrees Celsius, which is enough for ordinary people to suffer from severe heatstroke and die of dehydration several times—with this thought, she hurriedly touched the back of her neck.Unexpectedly, Lin Sanjiu didn't sweat much anymore.

"Look! I have only raised you for a few months, and you have already evolved two items of 'high temperature adaptation' and 'sharp intuition'... You really deserve to be the high-potential seed I saw at first glance. If it weren't for the new world It's too early, I really want to raise you for two more years, and then eat..." Ren Nan's tone was a bit regretful.He sucked his saliva loudly, and walked towards Lin Sanjiu. "Xiaojiu, I haven't eaten a good kid with high potential for a long time."

After the glass wall shattered, a little light came into the living room.With this bit of light, Lin Sanjiu could see Ren Nan's face clearly.

The handsome facial features of a male model in the past have gradually been squeezed out of sight by his widening mouth.The clear saliva was no longer restrained, and it could not stop flowing down the corner of his mouth——at this time, Lin Sanjiu had been forced to retreat to a corner of the kitchen.

"I, I still don't understand! What the hell are you? Why do you want to eat me? Also, what about evolution and abilities - don't you want to give me an understanding, tell me!"

Even if there is an extra minute of delay, there is still a chance!Lin Sanjiu quietly stretched out his hand to the knife holder on the counter behind him while shouting.

The big mouth paused, then narrowed down, revealing some of Ren Nan's original facial features. "Hey... why are you so stupid? Of course I am human, and Ren Nan is my name—but I am not the same as you backward species. I come from another 'new world'. The human beings who survived in the new world , will evolve different abilities... I have abilities that you can't even imagine."

Ren Nan wiped her wet chin. "I advise you to put down the knife, my eyesight is very good. Let me eat it obediently, I promise it won't hurt—"

"Fart your mother!" Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Sanjiu, who was terrified and angry, was already holding a sharp knife, and rushed forward while shouting angrily.

The Yinliang boning knife was extremely fast, and it drew a bright line in the darkness——when the tip of the knife was about to pierce Ren Nan's chest, he only took a light step to the side, and Lin Sanjiu Flushed.She stumbled and stepped on a shard of glass. She couldn't keep her balance anymore and fell heavily to the ground.

A mouth that was split to the cheeks did not give her a chance to stand up, and the wind came towards Lin Sanjiu--she only had time to turn over in a panic, and slammed the bone removal knife in her hand. thrown out.Ren Nan was caught off guard and dodged for a while, but was still cut a shallow wound by the knife.

With a clang, the knife landed in the distance.

Furious, Ren Nan pushed Lin Sanjiu to the ground, and the black eyes staring at her almost shrank to the size of a pinhead. "Steak should look like a steak!"

In the dim light, Lin Sanjiu watched desperately as the black shadow rushed towards his throat.
