Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 22 Hit the road!

If you only look at it with the naked eye, the blazing sun hanging high in the air at this moment seems to be no different from the previous summer.The dazzling sunlight poured down from the blue sky, and it has been sprinkled all the way to the world, only to reveal the shocking viciousness.

Every street was littered with corpses covered in burns, shriveled and curled up into balls.The buildings cracked under the heat, and some of the houses of poor quality had long since collapsed into small mountain-like fragments.The ground was cracked, and occasionally a fairly robust corrupted species could be seen cruising among the ruins.

In the past two short months, the temperature has continued to rise every day; today, all traces of human beings have melted away in the high temperature, making it hard to believe that this was once a highly developed human civilization society.

The air is hot and dry, and I don't know where the rivers, lakes and seas that have evaporated these days have gone.Looking around, there is no greenery in the place where the eyes can see, and where the truck rumbles past, there will be bursts of thick yellow dust that is half the height of a person, and it is almost difficult to see objects.

Lin Sanjiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the truck, couldn't help but glanced in the rearview mirror.

Behind her, another freight truck of the same model followed, followed by a long bus.This was not the focus of Lin Sanjiu's eyes. She narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the black smoke rising from the sky in the distance.

The place where the black smoke rose was the shopping mall that had housed them for a month.

After living for so long, I finally had to leave... Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but return to a month ago.

After Lin Sanjiu accidentally discovered the full supermarket warehouse, the three of them were really happy at that time - they didn't even need to count, they could see just by looking at the warehouse. Sure enough to last them 14 months.Living in an underground supermarket without worrying about direct sunlight is really ideal!
The only problem was the small tropical forest in the lobby outside.

After all, people are still greedy for comfort—a few people discussed it, and felt that in the current situation, as long as they stayed behind closed doors in the underground supermarket, the plant forest outside would not be able to do anything to them.It just so happened that the last few days have been thrilling and exhausted a lot of their physical strength. With the reputation of recuperation and adjustment, the three simply settled down in the supermarket.

This recuperation took two or three weeks of recuperation.Since they had no worries about food and drink, the iron gate was closed, and there were no foreign enemies, the three of them lived a fairly comfortable life in the new world for the first time—so much so that a month later, Lin Sanjiu accidentally pinched his waist and found that I've grown meat.

Honestly, it wasn't that much fat, but it reminded her of domesticated animals.During this period of time, not only did she not have any ability, but her skills were also sluggish; because she lost her sense of crisis, for several days, she even slept in the dark underground in one breath...

Going on like this will definitely be harmful to yourself.After discussing for a while, the three decided to go out on patrol—one to check the nearby conditions, and two to exercise themselves.

The idea was good, but I didn't expect that when the iron door was opened, the three of them were all stupid.

When the door opened, it was just after four o'clock in the afternoon, but the elevator leading to the first floor lobby was still shrouded in thick darkness.

Lin Sanjiu looked ahead stupidly and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the sun is setting so early now?"

Lu Ze was speechless.Suddenly, Martha stretched out her hand and called out, "Look!" Lin Sanjiu and Lu Ze followed the direction she pointed, and immediately their internal organs were completely cold—

As if feeling something, the darkness covering the elevator moved a little—it didn't matter if it moved, a bit of sunlight immediately poured in, revealing the green color of half the twigs and leaves.Only then did the three realize that the reason why the iron gate was dark was because it was blocked by plants.

Then, more and more shadows moved, and dozens of green vines, large and small, densely packed, seemed to smell the human flavor of childhood. One by one, they came to life and slowly moved towards the iron gate. Headed in the direction.I don't know who called out first, but none of the three dared to delay, turned around and rushed back to the supermarket, pulling the iron door down with a bang.

The green vine slammed into the iron door, and the heavy iron door actually dented several bulges inward.

It seems that as long as you go out for a few more walks, this iron gate will not be able to hold up.

Back in the supermarket, the faces of the three were extremely ugly.No one expected that they would go from taking the initiative to avoid the world so quickly to being unable to get out now.

"We can't stay in this place..." Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "What do you say now?"

"Even if you want to go, you have to take the things in the warehouse with you." Mather gritted his teeth fiercely.

"It's not difficult to bring things. Let's find a few big trucks outside, and we can move as many as we can. The question is... How do we get out now? The only passage is strictly blocked by those ghosts." Lin Sanjiu asked with a frown.

The three were quiet for a while, and Lu Ze suddenly made an "ah" sound, and then a carp jumped up, turned around and ran towards the back of the supermarket, shouting loudly, "The elevator entrance is not the only passage! Get the key! There's a door at the back!"

This sentence reminded Mather, she slapped her face, and her face suddenly brightened: "Yeah! How could I forget that!" After Lin Sanjiu, they also hurriedly followed.

In a few seconds, three people stood at the back door of the supermarket.Since Lin Sanjiu appeared from the staff room, Lu Ze and Mather had completely forgotten about the back door. It was the first time that Lin Sanjiu knew that there was another door that he didn't know where to go. the back door.

While praying silently, she opened the door with the key.

God treats them well - there is a narrow slope behind the door, and after stepping out of the slope, several people find themselves standing behind the shopping center with a row of huge garbage cans.This seems to be the place where supermarket employees clean up tools and dispose of rubbish. As soon as I walk out from here, I soon see a small road.

Looking at the shopping mall covered with green branches through the glass, it was the first time that several people felt that the cracked and blackened road was so cute.

What to do next is clear.

First of all, we need to find three cars.It is not difficult to find a car - almost 80.00% of the people are dead, and the city is full of cars with keys inserted, abandoned by people who have run out of gas and electricity.With little effort, the three found two large freight trucks and a bus.

I took the battery from the auto repair shop and replaced it, and I added a few full boxes of oil from the gas station. The car was finally able to move - I drove all three large cars to the small road in one go, squeezing each other on the ground. Easy to stop side by side.

The fresh water in the supermarket filled the three cars, and there was still a lot left in the warehouse.But a few people are not greedy, there are enough in the car, and the rest are piled up on both sides of the street and left to other survivors.

Before leaving, Lin Sanjiu brought a few barrels of gasoline, and Lu Ze and Mather prepared a whole box of wine.

"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu hugged a heavy brick and smiled at his partner.Seeing the two nodded, she called out, "Okay, let's start throwing!"

As Lu Ze shouted with excitement, bricks, stones, chairs, and all kinds of things smashed towards the glass doors and windows of the shopping center covered with green plants like a meteor shower——

A series of crisp sounds resounded halfway across the street - the glass fragments fell from the sky one after another like rain, and in the dark night sky shone with countless bright lights.

The branches covering the glass were startled and swayed in the air, not knowing who to attack for a while.But before they could find the culprit along the way, bottles of spirits and barrels of gasoline flew in from the broken glass and landed on the plants. , all of a sudden it splashed all over the place.

The last step, arson, requires a bit of skill - Mather, the fastest and lightest of the three, holding four or five polished matches in his hand, rushed to the door of the shopping mall like a rabbit. With a flick of his hand, the light of the fire fell into the green at a distance.

The flames hissed and spread, slow but firm.Soon, the first floor was covered with a glowing red flame—without burning for 5 minutes, there was a sharp hissing sound from the lobby of the shopping center, as if something was in pain, and everyone The blades are waving wildly.

I don't know why, but Lin Sanjiu actually felt a long-lost pleasure - she laughed a few times, waved to the two people beside her, and said with a loud laugh, "Let's get out!" After speaking, she started, The first one ran out.

A few people just ran out a street, only to hear a loud "bang", the top glass of the shopping center was burned and collapsed, pressing down with an irresistible force, and half of the building disappeared in the flames.

Trucks and buses were parked far away early in the morning, and three people drove a car each, facing the last bit of starlight before sunrise, embarking on an unknown journey...

Shaking his head, Lin Sanjiu threw the scenes from last night out of his mind.

She took another look at the rearview mirror with a dignified face, then turned on the taillights, and the big truck slowly slowed down and leaned against the side of the road.

Behind him, the truck driven by Lu Ze and the bus driven by Mather also slowed down and stopped.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you leave?" Lu Ze rolled the car window and shouted in the direction of Lin Sanjiu.

Lin Sanjiu pushed open the car door, jumped down, and stood in the middle of the road, holding a baton in his hand.

"Someone is following us." She frowned, enduring the yellow sand in the air.
