Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 412 In the dark corridor
No.

nowhere.

The wind on the top floor kept blowing against Ji Shanqing, and the coolness of the night soon made his cheeks numb from the cold; he stretched his neck again reluctance to look far away, but what fell into his eyes was still only the ruined and desolate city remains.

Countless cars were frozen in the moment of the rampage, stuck in the broken gate of the shopping mall, smashed the utility pole, dozens of cars collided together, and were melted into a big iron block by the fire; The sound of hunting in the wind, the blood stains, and the burnt black after the fire became the main colors that infect the city.

In the farther distance, a block of buildings collapsed one after another.Several huge plane fuselages were still stuck in the building, covered in a thick layer of smoke residue and dust.

This is the first time Ji Shanqing has seen the real doomsday of human beings. After the initial daze and shock subsided, he began to feel faint anxiety—because he was on the periphery of the community and did not see any shadow of "large-scale precautionary measures" .

In fact, as several planes crashed into this area, nearby high-rise buildings were broken and collapsed one after another under the impact. This old-fashioned residential area with only ten floors high became the highest point; On the top floor, Ji Shanqing had already taken in everything around him, but he still didn't see any precautions or even traces of human activities.

That is to say, my sister's worst guess is very likely to be true...

"What am I talking about?" At the same time he had this thought, Lin Sanjiu suddenly sneered at himself in a self-deprecating way: "...Those two people really have a problem. This place is not for evolutionists at all. What kind of base is in your hand to protect civilians."

There was still a slight gasp in her voice, I don't know if it was because she went up to the tenth floor in one breath just now, or because of her emotional agitation; while speaking, Lin Sanjiu waved his hands and tried to call out again [ Flat World].

While the two were staring closely, the phantom of a card flashed past her palm with a "slap"; but before their eyes lit up, the phantom disappeared like a bubble, leaving only It fell into Lin Sanjiu's pale palm.

Unwillingly, she yelled several times in a row, but she didn't yell out anything, not even her shadow.

With a low howl like a trapped animal, the tall woman buried her face in her hands and leaned on the railing on the top floor—"What should I do? All, all my abilities are gone!"

Ji Shanqing only felt bitterness in his mouth, and also realized the seriousness of the problem.

... What Lin Sanjiu lost was definitely not just the [Flat World].

The reason why evolutionists have physical fitness beyond ordinary people is all because they have generated basic physical abilities such as [Physical Amplification] and [Hawkeye Eye]. There is a shining ding from the sky] Such an advanced ability.

...Once without these abilities, Lin Sanjiu is no different from a most ordinary, unevolved person.If there is any difference, after going through countless battles and training, she will be stronger and faster than ordinary people at this moment, probably equivalent to an athlete, but she is still not out of the scope of "ordinary people".

"Don't worry," Ji Shanqing comforted her while thinking quickly in his mind: "...Isn't my ability still there? This shows that there is something in this community or the world that can only affect human beings." , but cannot affect the item. As long as we find out this factor, we will definitely be able to restore the ability..."

Although the words were clear and logical, in fact, even he himself was not very sure - because he had privately thought about what happened in just a few hours tonight several times, and he still didn't find anything suspicious.

It's just that these words immediately sparked a glimmer of hope in Lin Sanjiu, she raised her head suddenly, and grabbed his arm excitedly: "Yes! Let's go back and find Mei Duo and those two people now!"

Her nails dug deep into Ji Shanqing's skin, pinching him so painfully that it made people panic.Although Ji Shanqing faintly felt that it was not a good idea to go back, he just looked at her appearance at this time and nodded accordingly.Lin Sanjiu didn't seem to see him at all, and didn't care about his reaction, so he turned around and rushed out towards the building door.

Sighing, Ji Shanqing took one last glance at the human ruins in the distance before leaving.

I always feel that something is not right, like something is missing...

He just frowned, and before he had time to track down the thoughts that flashed through his mind, Lin Sanjiu yelled impatiently behind him: "Follow up!"

"Here we come," Ji Shanqing hurriedly replied, putting aside the thoughts just now, and followed her downstairs.

This building is the same as several other residential buildings. There are tall cardboard boxes piled up in every dark corridor, and there is a sour smell in the air like sweat being covered for a long time.Fortunately, the 【Ability Polishing Agent】has not been taken back after being called out—of course it can’t be taken back now—so Ji Shanqing held it in his hand, and while illuminating a small spot in front of him, he supported Lin San The wine goes forward.

In the silent corridor, only two people's footsteps were rustling forward, making the surroundings seem even more silent.

Therefore, when a sudden howl pierced the air, both of them were shocked; before they could react, they heard a security door being knocked straight again with a loud "clang". Shaking, it seems that someone behind the door is desperately pounding on the door--then, heart-piercing, as if extremely sad cries, pierced the eardrums of the two of them brutally and piercingly, echoing in the air. in the hallway.

"What's going on here?" Seeing that the people inside would not be able to come out for a while, Ji Shanqing frowned, and quickly left the door with quick steps, "...Is someone dead at home?"

He didn't hear an answer, and looked back at his sister.

I don't know if it's because of the light of [Ability Polishing Agent], Lin Sanjiu's face is pale at this moment, his eyes are staring at him with a bit of blankness, and fine beads of sweat ooze from his forehead.

It looked as if... She suddenly forgot something.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Amidst the deafening roar and howl, Ji Shanqing endured the sudden panic, and asked softly.

Lin Sanjiu blinked, then bit her lip and shook her head.The next second, as if it was strange that he would ask such a question, she regained her senses and pushed him: "Go quickly."

"it is good--"

However, just as the two were about to move, Ji Shanqing's heart skipped a beat, and then he stuffed the [Ability Polishing Agent] into his coat; clutching the things in his arms tightly, he tried to cover the corners of his clothes. With the light leaking out, he turned his head and hurriedly whispered to Lin Sanjiu: "—Go back! Go back upstairs!"

Lin Sanjiu didn't know what happened at all, so he grabbed his sleeve in confusion, and hurriedly followed him upstairs—the two had just climbed the stairs when they heard the sound coming from downstairs. There was a burst of human voices, and the flickering round spots of the flashlight.

"It turns out that someone is here." Lin Sanjiu leaned against Ji Shanqing's ear, and said something blankly in a very low voice. "...I didn't hear anything."

...Even the gift bag itself didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"He started barking again," a man's voice sounded clearly from downstairs, accompanied by his almost inaudible quick footsteps: "...It's so fucking annoying."

"Wait," another female voice laughed with great interest. Just when Ji Shanqing was wondering what she was going to do, he heard the anti-theft iron door being kicked hard twice, and then she floated up. voice: "Xuanxuan, if you cry again, Mom won't want you."

Like some kind of magic spell, the crying stopped abruptly and turned into violent sobbing that could not be controlled for a while.

Because the howling just now was too sharp, Ji Shanqing didn't even know whether the other party was a man or a woman, let alone how old he was; just as he was wondering, he heard the couple turn around and head upstairs again. coming.

With a sudden jerk, he quickly poked Lin Sanjiu; in the dark, he felt that the master's movements were slow and slow, so anxious that he had to push her back—but fortunately, the couple downstairs walked away. Take it easy, when they went back up another floor, the man and woman had just arrived at the floor they were on just now.

If you go back up, you will soon be on the top floor.Ji Shanqing swallowed, thinking.

He could clearly feel that the two people who appeared suddenly were evolutionists.

Although I don't know what their strength is, but with the combat power of one of our own muddy mud, a level that can't even be called muddy mud, if the other party has bad intentions, I am afraid that the two of us will have no luck.

Following the footsteps of the couple, the nerves became more and more tense; just when Ji Shanqing felt that his heartbeat was about to lose control, the woman suddenly said: "... 806, this is here."

It's okay, it's okay, Ji Shanqing silently rejoiced in his heart.

From the duo who only heard his voice but never saw him, the man took a step forward, knocked lightly on the door of 806, and his voice seemed to be a different person: "Sister Cui, open the door, I'm the little girl." Hu."

After his words fell, the corridor was as quiet as dead.

Ji Shanqing passed by 806 twice, but he didn't realize that there were still people in it. Now it sounds like no one lives there.

The woman muttered in a low voice, "shame your face".As if it wasn't strange at all, the man walked through the crack of the door and said, "Sister Cui, I went to ask for you what you told me last time."

Almost the second after he cut off the conversation, the wooden door inside 806 opened with a "squeak".

"Xiao, Xiaohu," a thick female voice with a strong accent and slurred words, defended with a bit of fear and expectation: "I... I fell asleep just now, and I didn't hear you knocking on the door. What, how is it?"

"You open the door first, so we can go in and talk," the man obviously didn't listen to her murmured explanation at all, "This is my colleague, don't be afraid."

"Hey, okay." With the "click" of the anti-theft door lock, the elder sister Cui opened the door in some embarrassment-then there was only a "goo", and there was no movement in the downstairs corridor.

Ji Shanqing was stunned, and couldn't help but glance back at Lin Sanjiu; just about to ask her what's going on with her mouth, but shut her mouth immediately.

…By the dim flashlight downstairs, he could barely see clearly that the master was squatting on the steps of the stairs, holding his knee tightly with one hand, and gnawing his nails with the other in his mouth.

Ji Shanqing drooped his eyelids, said nothing, and turned his head back.

There was a "rustling" sound from downstairs, it sounded like something heavy was being dragged away—after thinking about it, he still had the guts to poke his head out for a quick glance, and then quickly shrunk back.

In that quick glance that blurred the scene, he saw nothing useful, only vaguely seeing a wide open door, a bald head with piles of skin on the back of his neck, and... The eyes of a woman with short hair.

When he realized this, Ji Shanqing went cold all over.

"Hey, I seemed to see someone upstairs just now." With some doubts, the woman spoke downstairs.

"Isn't that normal?" the man replied, "This building is full of fucking people."

The woman pondered for a few seconds, "...It seems that something is wrong, it doesn't look like we know each other."

"Then go up and have a look!" The man replied impatiently, "But hurry up, there is still a lot of work to do."

Just when Ji Shanqing's hair stood up, he turned around and pushed Lin Sanjiu desperately a few times, urging her to leave quickly, the sound of women's leather shoes downstairs stopped again.

"Forget it," she seemed unmotivated about going upstairs to check, "You're right, can there be more people?"

Ji Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately didn't dare to move anymore, and quickly grabbed the wrist of Lin Sanjiu who had just stood up - he was lying on his body at the moment, with the [Ability Polishing Agent] sandwiched between his chest and abdomen, because Fearing that the light would spill out, he had to maintain an uncomfortable posture, and soon sweat broke out on his forehead.

The sound of "Shusha" became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the corridor together with the light of the flashlights in the hands of the couple.Ji Shanqing huddled into a ball, and didn't dare to make any movements for a long time; after waiting for nearly 10 minutes, he saw that he could no longer hear the sound from downstairs, so he took a deep breath and took the [Ability Polishing Agent] from the He took out his clothes and stood up.

Lin Sanjiu beside him suddenly turned his head back slowly and almost stiffly in a silver light.

Ji Shanqing suddenly trembled all over, and slowly turned his gaze away.

A face of a strange middle-aged woman was quietly hanging on the back of Ji Shanqing's head.A trace of blood slid down from her forehead, her eyes were half-closed, as if she was still thinking about something.

... Sister Cui.

"You are quite cautious, girl." The woman who called herself "Mom" just now smiled softly on top of his head, "The two of us watched you here for 10 minutes before you stood up... um , is this your friend?"

"That's great, you both look young and firm, with even fat..." Baldhead licked his lips and said.
