Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2056 How can there be no reason not to sleep for a while after eating

No one thought that clearing the road from ruins, garbage and dirt would be such a tiring task.

Even for evolutionaries, the hard work of repeatedly pushing and lifting heavy objects, bending over to pick up, kicking and sweeping debris, etc., seems to never see the head, and they are still tired and almost numb; One corpse after another was cleared out of the pile, without even batting your eyelids—when you saw a corpse, you kicked it away with your feet or picked it up with something, and no one bothered to post a comment.

After clearing out how many arrows and how many corpses, the group of three finally passed through the office hall where the cubicles were once placed, and touched the wooden stairs on the other side close to the glass curtain wall; when they saw the stairs When the yellow arrow was printed on it, the three of them heaved a long sigh of relief and almost sat down on the ground.

The filth, chaos, and corpses in the hall finally ended at the bottom of the wooden stairs.

Despite being covered with a thin layer of gray, the clear yellow arrow still unmistakably led their sight to the upstairs—it was said to be upstairs, but it was actually half a floor in a high-ceilinged space—the glass curtain wall on the other side It was pitch black at the moment, and I don't know if it was done on purpose or because it was dark outside.

When she entered the dungeon, the sky inside the dungeon looked like it was afternoon, right?Lin Sanjiu thought uncertainly.

"No, no, no,"

Pina sat down on the steps, waved her hands and said, "I really need to take a break, isn't there 24 hours for every road? I'll take a 10-minute break, will it be okay?"

"It's okay," even Lin Sanjiu said, feeling his legs were a little sore, "isn't there a platform on it? Everyone go there to rest for a while, and it's good to clean up yourself."

Pan Cui nodded, and wanted to wipe off the sweat on her face, so she raised her hand, looked at it, and put it down again.Lin Sanjiu held back and didn't tell her that her face and hands were actually smudged as well.

Although the upper floor is only one and a half floors, the stairs are quite long; a few people sat on the platform in the middle, and when they lowered their heads, they happened to be able to have a panoramic view of the dark hall below, without even the railings blocking them—they After leaving, those light bulbs were all dimmed. At this time, there was only one dim light bulb hanging from the high ceiling above the stairs, which seemed to be dying.

"It's a pity that I couldn't see the arrow on the stairs when I was downstairs," Pina sighed, holding a small flashlight, lying on the edge of the landing, looking around the hall below. "Otherwise, it would take so much effort, just come up directly."

"Based on the virtues of a normal dungeon," Pan Cui leaned against the glass curtain wall and was wiping her face with a handkerchief. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "If we don't finish our journey obediently, maybe there won't be any monsters on the stairs." Where's the arrow?"

When Lin Sanjiu looked up at Pan Cui, he happened to see the reflection of himself and Pina.The light was dim, swallowing the details, making them look like two human-shaped shells, with only outlines and two black holes, but blurred and lost other details.

"That..." Pina's hesitant voice suddenly brought her back to her senses.

"What's wrong?" Pan Cui asked immediately.

"Look," Pina said, turned back to the hall, moved the flashlight over there, and whispered, "Is there an office chair over there?"

Her powers of observation are indeed remarkable, far surpassing the keen eyesight of ordinary evolutionaries; under such dim light, Lin Sanjiu exhausted her eyesight, and had to be prompted to barely see that among the broken pieces of rubbish underneath, There is indeed a silhouette of an office chair.

"Empty," Pina whispered.

Empty office chairs are everywhere, what's the point of—

Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood.

She said "empty", not "empty".

"You mean, that office chair is the first one we saw? The one with the dead body?" She asked immediately, "But how can you be sure? The office chairs here are all about the same size."

"I'm not sure," Pina stared for a few more seconds before stepping back from the edge of the stairs. "I just think it's kind of like it. It's just that it's in the position...the last time we saw the chair with the dead body in this position."

The meaning it might represent was pressed down like a hood, so that several people breathed lightly.

"The corpse is already dead. I've confirmed it several times. It shouldn't be able to pose a threat to us." Pan Cui's steady voice finally broke the silence: "Of course, whether it's the corpse or the cause of the corpse, We all have to be more careful. I don't want to spy on other people's information, but I think you two don't seem to have no common sense. You should have at least some protection along the way, right?"

Lin Sanjiu nodded, and heard Pina also say "hmm".

"That's good." Pan Cui looked around and said, "This staircase is in a good position. We don't have to worry about the two sides. After all, one side is a glass wall and the other side is empty. We only need to beware of the two ends. Rest here..."

Her demeanor and tone were always as steady as the ground, and the restlessness that floated just now slowly sank back into the dark depths like a sinking catkin.

Probably to relax the atmosphere, Pan Cui suddenly smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed to say it, but... when was the last time you ate?"

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback; she had never thought about this question before.

At that time, Jotans was still alive; after he had a quick meal with everyone, he went to collect parts for Yu Yuan.

"...It's been a long time," she said hoarsely.

"I'm starving to death, but I'm too embarrassed to say it." Pina smiled with relief, and said, "Shall we eat something together? I've eaten in a more disgusting environment than this, but I don't care— —”

As soon as she said those words, the light above her head suddenly went out.

"What's going on?" Lin Sanjiu jumped up, ready to fight; unexpectedly, just as she stood up, the light bulb on her head suddenly turned on again—the two people around her also jumped up at this time, They looked at each other in surprise, and looked at the light bulb a few times before they finally understood.

"It turns out that the lights will go out when we don't move for a while?" Pina cursed after finishing speaking.

"Try it and you'll know," Pan Cui sat down cross-legged—they waited quietly for a while, and sure enough, the lights went out again.

Apart from being inconvenient and just plain frightening, this wasn't a big deal; just move your arm and the light will come on.The few people were hungry and tired, and they didn't care about the worries of the bow and snake. They sat down again, wiped their hands and faces, and took out some food one after another.

For others, it is quite rare to eat, and Lin Sanjiu can be said to have as much food as he wants; she looked at the things the other two took out, and simply asked them to put them away again—"I will take care of this meal." ,” she said as if she was pulling something out of her trouser pocket, “what do you want to eat? Fried noodles? Braised pork? Sandwiches?”

It stands to reason that an evolutionary should not eat anything handed to him casually; but after a short while, even Pan Cui, who has always been calm, ate until his eyes lit up: "Why are the ingredients so fresh? Did you just receive it? Immediately Just invite us to eat?"

"My... holds props and can keep fresh." Lin Sanjiu said with a smile, "You're welcome, and what's more, it's more delicious to share with others."

Pina was very happy. After thanking her, she quickly ate the meal, wiped her mouth, and dumped all the after-dinner garbage into the hall under the stairs—it wasn't too dirty anyway.When she was full, she dumped it on the platform, sighed and said, "Eat first, don't worry, I'll close my eyes and rest my mind... I can leave as soon as you finish eating."

I don't know whether to say that Pina is big-hearted, or she is too assured of their abilities. After the two of them filled their stomachs, they found that she was lying on the ground, snoring slightly.

"This is too..." Pan Cui stared at her, "too" for a long time, unable to find the right word. "She, is she so undefended? This is a dungeon?"

Lin Sanjiu also found it unbelievable—but anyway, they only spent an hour in the 24 hours since they came in, so it's not too much to take a little rest.

After all, even she was exhausted at this time, and the stairs leading to the top seemed as difficult to climb as a mountain wall at this moment; to accumulate strength to climb up, and to face the unknown upstairs, all she needed was a few mouthfuls of food , is certainly not enough.

At first, Pan Cui seemed to want to hold on, but she couldn't hold on anymore, so she vaguely told Lin Sanjiu, "Call me in 10 minutes, and I'll take a rest for you", and she also lay on the skin Na's side, eyes closed, fell asleep.

Could it be because, so far in the dungeon, there are only false alarms and no real threats, so they can rest assured to sleep?

Or, they are the same as they are now, their nerves are numb by exhaustion... After exhausting their energy, they don't even bother to move...

Lin Sanjiu opened his eyes all at once, forcing himself to open his eyelids, and felt that his eyelids were gradually sinking.

"The other corpses didn't die like this," Teacher Yi asked worriedly, "They all fell asleep and died unconsciously in the dark?"

Logically speaking, this theory is very possible; but Lin Sanjiu's survival instinct and keen intuition didn't seem to take it seriously at all. She just played with this idea for a while, then let it go, and didn't take it to heart. go.

Because she can feel that as long as she pushes herself a little bit more, she can stand up again and continue to clear the road as before... The reason why she is motionless now is just because there is no movement or danger nearby. necessary……

Of course, another part of Lin Sanjiu also admitted that this explanation itself might be the brainwashing imposed on her by the dungeon.

She watched the two thoughts fighting each other in her mind, and her thoughts gradually became deeper and deeper, as if everything was separated from the outside by a lowered curtain; every thought that passed through her mind became farther and farther away, becoming There was a faint echo.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly opened his eyes.

The surroundings were still silent, without any movement; she knew that she had accidentally fallen asleep just now, and probably slept for more than a few minutes, because at this time she was leaning on the stiff back of the steps, sore and sore from the pain.Maybe it was the short nap, or maybe it was some other reason, she was sober at the moment, and she didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Pina and Pan Cui were still lying not far away, with subtle snoring and breathing sounds one after another, sleeping deeply.

Soon, Lin Sanjiu realized it.

The lights were still on.

　Unexpectedly, the text was updated quite quickly today. I also felt embarrassed when I saw someone responding to the issue of the anti-piracy chapter, but the anti-piracy version has made readers of the genuine version suffer... But in order to make up for everyone, I will post the text if possible. Will write a little more.

Speaking of which, I'm going to another city tomorrow, and I won't be home until Thursday. Don't worry, I won't ask for leave. My train will take three hours. I'll try to write an update... Just to let you know in advance, in case the update time changes.
