Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 672 The Shepherd Boy Points to Xinghua Village

When she was a child, Lin Sanjiu was afraid to look under her bed for a while.No matter what time of day it was always pitch black under the bed, swallowing up all the light that came in.The few bags of sundries and old clothes my mother randomly stuffed under the bed, the mouth of the bag was always open, covered with dust.One night she mustered up the courage to lie on the bed and look under the bed by the light of the desk.

The bottom of the bed was dark, and a red turtleneck sweater was slowly poked out from the bag. The long collar looked like a neck winding out of the darkness, and lay softly on the ground.

What happened later, she doesn't quite remember, after all, she was still young at that time.Thinking about it now, children's memories are always eccentric, and they think that what they see is not unusual.

It's just that after many years, now that Lin Sanjiu really got under the bed, the faint uneasiness in his heart when he was a child came alive again.Consciousness is gone, and pure touch doesn't work very well, and the surroundings are so dark that not even a ray of light can penetrate; she seems to have returned to her defenseless and powerless childhood.

Lin Sanjiu crawled for a while, then paused, and stretched out his arms to explore the darkness ahead.

She was a little worried that she might touch a face, a sweater neck, a dead body, or something weird; but luckily there was only dry concrete in the darkness ahead.

Empty with nothing.

Taking a breath, she crawled forward again.

Elbows, knees, led the body to move forward a little bit amidst the rustling sound of friction.The movements are all mechanized and can be done without much thought.After crawling in the dark for a while, Lin Sanjiu's heart became colder and colder.

... She has been crawling for a full minute.

1 minute is actually a very long period of time, even if it is a big bed, 1 minute should be enough for her to crawl out, not to mention it is just an ordinary double bed.

Lin Sanjiu looked back, and found that the entrance she climbed in was covered with a layer of dark light, shrinking into a small spot of light in the distance, it looked as if she had entered a tunnel.

Could it be that the size of this bed will increase infinitely like other furniture?
She lay on the ground, raised her hand lightly to touch the top of her head, it still had the texture of that wooden bed.

Do you want to take it?

After hesitating for a while, she still didn't activate [Flat World].After all, this is not an ordinary piece of furniture... After thinking for a while, she finally stopped moving forward. The darkness ahead was getting deeper and deeper, and it seemed almost endless.She barely turned around like a spider, and crawled out again toward the entrance she came from.

Hearing the exceptionally loud "rustling" friction sound in the silence, she looked out from the narrow space under the bed, and found that the high coffee table and the legs of the big wardrobe she had just passed were all in place. Gradually approaching in the hazy night, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the distance from the exit did not increase infinitely, otherwise she might really be trapped under this bed.

When Lin Sanjiu finally came to the bedside, she couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief, stopped her movements, and lowered her head to look outside.She can't rush out rashly, she has to look first——

She suddenly felt that all her bones were frozen.

She had stopped crawling, but the "rustling" sound of the cloth rubbing against the surface did not stop, and it was still ringing close to her ears.

Lin Sanjiu's blood was almost pouring into his head, he turned his head suddenly, he thought he would see a human face beside him - but there was only darkness, and even the airflow didn't seem to fluctuate at all.

The "rustling" sound suddenly stopped.

Her mind was blank, she didn't think about anything, she suddenly called out a bath towel and waved it in a semicircle around her - to her surprise, the bath towel didn't touch anything in the dark, with a "click" sound , fell to the ground without hindrance.

There seemed to be nothing in the darkness around her.

But the voice just now was indeed very close to her... A warm, breath-like breath blew onto the top of her head.

Lin Sanjiu slowly raised his head, just in time to meet a white eyeball between the gaps in the wooden boards.

When she was crawling under the bed just now, was there someone crawling along with her on the bed?
Lin Sanjiu didn't even have time to think about it—her back was tightly pressed against the concrete floor, and she didn't dare to climb out from the bed which was only a short distance away; The white eyeballs on the head hit a whirlwind.

The bang of the wind shattered the bed board, and amidst the explosion of a piece of wood, there was a scream at the same time.The darkness that was lighter than the bottom of the bed finally came up again, and a burst of cold air with a musty smell rushed towards her. She immediately jumped up and shouted sharply: "Who is it!"

"Don't, don't—"

A shrill voice screamed.A small shadow yelled, and was about to get into the middle of the next pile of tables quickly, but knocked the whole stack of tables to the ground with a "boom", and the lingering sound echoed endlessly in the night.

"Ah," the surprisingly small shadow was smashed upright and buried under the table, kicking a pair of legs vigorously, "Don't, don't come..."

Seeing that this person was so afraid of him, Lin Sanjiu relaxed a lot.She looked around and saw that the Supreme God seemed to have no sign of appearing, so she rushed over in a few steps and grabbed the man's feet.She had never held such a slender ankle before. When the two ankles were put together, they might not be as thick as a pair of chopsticks; the bone directly touched her palm, causing her to tremble for no reason.

"Come out! Who are you?"

"Don't, don't touch me," the man screamed again, his voice was thin, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women.Lin Sanjiu pulled him out with all her strength, but she was almost taken aback by him; even in the dark and blurry night, she was still taken aback by this man's appearance.

The huge head is supported by a thin neck, and the torso and limbs are as thin as a stick; I don't know if it is because he has not seen the sun all year round, his skin is glowing with a deadly whiteness - if it is not for this whitening method, Lin Sanjiu I'm afraid I still think I saw a starving African child.

His stature looked to be no more than five or six years old, his body was bent, and his bones were limp and deformed.He stared a pair of white and black eyeballs, and cried out intermittently: "Don't kill me... Pain, pain..."

Lin Sanjiu loosened his ankle slightly, frowned and asked again: "Who are you?"

"I, I," he seemed terrified, wanting to cry but unable to cry, "my mother called me little preserved egg..."

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.

"How old are you?"

"I...don't know..." He gasped hissingly, trembling all over: "My mother said I was five years old...but she disappeared..."

"How long has your mother been gone?"

"It's been a long, long time..." Speaking of this, the boy suddenly paused, his extremely protruding eyes were so dry that they couldn't even see the water, and only his crying became more intense: "Mom...she... …Gone."

"How did you come here?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't bear to continue pinching the boy's ankle, she endured the shock and helped the skinny boy up.Not daring to stay where she was, she led him swiftly through the crumbs of the bed - which now looked like a normal-sized pile of debris - around a table and between two chests of drawers.

"Mom brought me here," Little Preserved Egg seemed to be less scared, and his voice suddenly became low as if he was dying. "There were fires everywhere in my house, in the street... Mum told me we could get out of the fire by my fifth birthday. And then we came here."

The child spoke clearly and methodically, Lin Sanjiu asked a few words, and finally figured out the context.After the end of his original world, his mother has been taking him to struggle to survive for 14 months, and was lucky enough to get two visas, so she took the child to the Olympics.

As a result, this place eventually became the burial place of the mother.

The son she spent so much time with was thrown into the furniture cemetery made by the Supreme God, wandering around day and night until now, it seems that it has been several years.He didn't threaten anyone, and no one was interested in killing him, so he saved his life; just looking at him, if he didn't meet Lin Sanjiu, his life wouldn't last long.

"What do you eat? Is there any water here?" When Lin Sanjiu asked, he had already pinched the [Chuqian Yiding Instant Noodles] card in his hand.

"I haven't eaten for a long time..." Little Preserved Egg said weakly, "Sometimes I follow people like you, and they will give me something to eat... Sometimes I eat a little cotton and wood..."

In the Olympics where life is at stake, there are not many people who are willing to show kindness to him—otherwise he would not be so hungry.Thinking that she almost killed the child with her hand just now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel guilty; she was not very good with children, so she simply took food as a way to compensate him, not only gave him a bowl of hot noodles , and took out a lot of dry food, packed a bag, and let the little preserved egg carry it on his body.The child was crying while eating noodles just now, and he didn't know how much he had suffered.

"You must not eat too much today." She was afraid that the little preserved egg would be overwhelmed and kill herself, "I will eat another meal tomorrow, do you hear me?"

The way the little boy nodded made people worry that his head would fall off.

Seeing that he was more energetic, Lin Sanjiu looked around.The silver light of the [Ability Polishing Agent] in the distance was so weak that it was almost invisible, and within a few minutes, it was far away from her again.Looking around, she seems to have become another little preserved egg lost in the furniture graveyard.

"I want to ask you something." Lin Sanjiu never learned that gentle, coaxing tone, and asked stiffly, "Did you see anyone other than me tonight?"

The little preserved egg nodded again.

Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up: "What kind of person? Where did he go?"

"One, one person in black clothes," Little Preserved Egg said while recalling, "Wrapped in a white cloth with blood on it...the clothes creaked and creaked."
