Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 72 What did you say?
In a daze, Lin Sanjiu's ears kept ringing with a small sound of "slap rustling", constantly beating on her overworked nerves.Although she was half asleep and half awake, judging from the bumps in her body, she felt like she was in a car at this time...

A packet of butter cakes on top of the box was vibrating with the car just like Lin Sanjiu.Suddenly, a furry paw quietly stretched out from behind the box, as if trying to reach for the bag of cookies.However, the car just shook a little at this time, and when it was pushed by the rabbit's paw, the bag fell with a snap, and there was a sound of "ah" underneath.

The culprit poked his head out to look, just in time to meet Lin Sanjiu's opened eyes.

"Wake up, wake up? Haha..." The brown-haired rabbit laughed dryly.

Lin Sanjiu took the biscuits off his face, feeling a little dizzy.She slowly got up and looked around.

She was lying in the aisle of the bus, with a bath towel being thoughtfully spread under her body.Probably to make room for himself, tall food boxes were stacked on both sides, and the brown rabbit was lying on the top box at this time.

"Little wine? Are you awake?"

Hu Changzai's voice came from the driver's seat of the bus.He took time to look back and saw that Lin Sanjiu really sat up, his whole face lit up immediately: "That's great, I've been worried enough!"

At this time, her memories slowly poured into her mind, filling the dry brain from the coma.

... Fontaine was killed by 12.

The first thought grabbed her heart tightly.

No one expected that she would be a visa officer - now, Lin Sanjiu lost not only the chance to get a visa, but also a friend.

And 12 escaped when the five cadres were defeated and the Oasis defense was empty for a while.In order to keep herself from disappearing due to the distance, Mather caught up one step ahead of time, and she didn't know where they were now - how is Mather?Is Lu Ze awake?

"How long have I slept?" Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth, only to find that his throat was dry.

Hu Changzai glanced at her in the rearview mirror with some unease, and then said with a little fear: "It's been a whole week. If your breathing and heartbeat were normal, I almost thought you were dead..."

a week?Lin Sanjiu was startled, and was about to stand up immediately, but his footsteps were flimsy, and he almost lost his footing.

"It's been so long? Mather she—"

Hu Changzai, who had long expected her to ask this question, couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "After you fell asleep, we discussed it, and drove in the direction where Mather left. But we left. For so long, we haven't even seen Martha's shadow, I think either we went wrong, or they changed direction along the way..."

In other words, they were separated from Mather.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly had a headache.

In the daze of faint pain, her originally intense emotions seemed to have retreated a little; anxiety, worry, regret, vaguely came and went one after another in her mind.Instead, it was a self-comforting thought, but it became more and more clear: no news, maybe the best news...

Standing up straight, Lin Sanjiu looked around in the carriage, feeling a little complicated in his heart.After staying in the oasis for less than two weeks, the people who accompanied her were not around; instead, some new faces became partners on the road together at this time.

After all, the brown-haired rabbit bit the packet of small cakes, and with a crisp "click" sound, the rabbit's face on one side swelled into a ball.

Lin Sanjiu stared at it and frowned for a while, then asked, "What about Professor Bai and Hai Tianqing? Why is this rabbit the only one still here?"

"Your truck is currently being driven by Hai Gan. As for Professor Bai... After you passed out, we found in the ruins the survivors who had narrowly escaped from the fallen species. There are probably more than 20 survivors. Professor Bai Said that since she did something wrong, she will bear the consequences, so she stayed with Xu Xiaoyang and planned to rebuild a human sanctuary. But this time without the help of the fallen species' outer world technology, I think it will It's very difficult..." Hu Changzai couldn't help but sigh a little while saying that. "Although it belongs to you, I left some food for them on my own initiative. I'm sorry."

It's not a big deal - speaking of food, Lin Sanjiu looked at the brown rabbit for some reason.

The brown-haired rabbit just met Lin Sanjiu's gaze, and it raised its head with some inexplicable pride: "I think you are a bit rude, but you are all very loyal. Besides, your fighting ability is poor, I also I was worried about you, so I stayed-"

Hu Changzai didn't give it any face at all: "It's a lie. It's a rabbit, although it's very capable, but there are people outside, maybe one day it will be caught and eaten... For the sake of safety, besides it I also have a good relationship with the Hai cadres, so I followed us."

It was obvious that he had just experienced a life-and-death hardship, but looking at the brown fur rabbit's angry look, Lin Sanjiu still wanted to laugh.

However, he has already woken up, why is the rustling voice still in his ears...

She raised her eyes and looked out the window carefully, she couldn't help being stunned, her words were a little incomplete - "This, this is..."

I didn't see it clearly just now, because the white steam outside the window was full of white steam, which was attached to the glass in clumps.Only if you pay attention, you will find that many tiny water droplets are constantly hitting the glass, converging into a trickle, and spreading in the window frame.

In disbelief, Lin Sanjiu touched the glass that was hotter than usual: "...It's raining?"

"Yes." It was the brown rabbit who answered her.The latter jumped to the ground, bit off the packet of biscuits just now, and replied while eating, "It's been down for several days, and we're all tired of seeing the smell. The rain is so hot that I can't drink it, and it smells like sulphur. I don't dare to drive fast, and the wipers are almost rotten, I hate it!"

Lin Sanjiu snorted, and still watched the rain for a while with novelty. After watching it for a long time, she even opened the window.As Rabbit said, the rainwater is probably the temperature shortly after the water is boiled. According to the past, it will definitely burn people - but when it was poured on Lin Sanjiu's hands, she only felt warm and very comfortable. .

The smell of sulphur is really strong...

Huh?
Wait, isn't this a hot spring?

Lin Sanjiu, who had been sweating every day but never had a good bath since the arrival of the extremely warm hell, suddenly felt an itch in his heart.For the past two months, she'd been a wild boar—the sweat had built up layer after layer of sand and dust, making her skin horribly rough to the touch.

She immediately asked Hu Changzai to stop the car, and then stopped Hai Tianqing's truck, instigating the two and one rabbit to get out of the car and look for a bucket with her.

Buckets, which seem to be everywhere, are much harder to find than you think—especially when many plastic products are deformed at high temperatures.A few people turned around and found nothing. Lin Sanjiu simply rolled up his sleeves and dug a half-deep hole by himself. Then he covered the bottom and all sides of the hole with shading cloth and stones to prevent water leakage. .The rain was not small, and in a short while, a pit filled with steaming "hot spring water".

Although the water is not too clean, it looks luxurious enough.

For men, there is no need to dig a hole, the sky is full of hot showers, so they are also interested; after they walked away, Lin Sanjiu suddenly grabbed the brown-haired rabbit, pressed it into the water, and smiled. Said, "Come on, enjoy yourself!" With that, she took off her coat and jumped into the puddle.

The brown-haired rabbit made a "huh" sound, emerged from the water, and shouted angrily, "Rabbits don't take baths!"

When he turned around, he saw Lin Sanjiu's bare shoulders exposed on the water, looming in the white mist - he smacked his lips in embarrassment, turned his head and played with his ears: "...that, I'm actually a male rabbit. "

Lin Sanjiu looked at it: "So what, it's not a rabbit after all."

Even if he can speak, he still has a furry appearance that makes people shy at all!
"Speaking of which, what the hell is going on with you? Why is a rabbit able to talk and have the ability?" Lin Sanjiu asked while splashing water on his body indifferently.

"You can see how cute I look. I used to be a pet rabbit, or a famous breed." The brown-haired rabbit seemed to be recalled, and he forgot that there was a difference between men and women. He said: "Although my previous owner was very annoying and always restricted my freedom, he still loved me very much. In the days after the temperature soared, I remember that there was nothing in the house, and there was no water, There was no food either... Even though he was too weak, he went out to find something to eat. He didn't come back until after a whole day, and he was wounded all over. In addition to an instant noodle, he even had a handful of grass in his hand."

After a pause, the famous pet rabbit continued with a bit of sentimentality: "... Now that I think about it, it was unbelievable that there was grass at that time. But I was still a silly rabbit at that time. I ate the grass without thinking about anything. Since I ate the grass, I gradually became wiser, and I also developed the ability... On the contrary, it was my master who finally didn't survive and died."

That grass must be a special item generated in the new world, right?Lin Sanjiu traced the owner's appearance in his heart for a while, and felt that he must have been very gentle - sighing softly, she touched its head soothingly.

The brown-haired rabbit said solemnly: "You know now, I am also a rabbit with a name. You can just call me 'father' in the future."

The hand on its head immediately pressed it into the water.

After playing with the brown-haired rabbit that got up for a while, Lin Sanjiu was thrown by its long ears and her face was covered in water. I don't know if it was playing for a while or because the bath was very comfortable, but she felt a lot more relaxed. .Seeing that the washing was almost done, and she was starving after being in a coma for a week, Lin Sanjiu finally crawled out of the puddle reluctantly and changed into the clean clothes she had prepared.

The scalding rain was still pouring down from the sky, as if to make up for the previous drought, and the large white fog was stirred up on the ground and slowly floated into the air.The endless new fog, together with the previous fog, enveloped the world and blurred the vision.

"Hey, Hu Changzai, have you washed up yet? Where are you, we're going over there?" She called out into the distance. "Get dressed quickly!"

Hu Chang's panicked response came from a distance.

"It's said that Lao Tzu is a male rabbit... I think they are taken for granted." The brown fur rabbit muttered.

After identifying the direction, one person and one rabbit walked in the direction that Hu Changzai made a sound just now.

At this time, the white fog was foggy, and it was difficult to see the road ahead. It was a bit strenuous to walk—

However, it is not possible to walk for more than 20 minutes and still not arrive, right?
He shouted a few words in a row, but he never got an answer. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but stop, his expression dignified.

The brown-haired rabbit also felt strange: "It's strange... It was obviously the sound from this direction just now? It's not so far away."

Human and rabbit looked at each other, and both secretly raised their guard.

Just as they were about to leave, a crisp gong suddenly broke the silence in the white mist world and startled them—the gong seemed to surround every direction, and then a passionate voice came from nowhere. It rang: "Good afternoon everyone!"

At this time, from the fog not far from the side, people came rustling from different directions - if it weren't for the two closest to them, they seemed to be more panic than Lin Sanjiu and the others. Afraid that Lin Sanjiu would have punched him long ago—the two were whispering something, and there was a strong sense of unease in their voices.

The shadowy figures in the white fog have gathered more and more; the indescribable strange atmosphere is quietly suppressed.Just as Lin Sanjiu grabbed the rabbit and was about to leave, the loud voice spoke up again: "...Is everyone here? I'm very happy to welcome everyone to participate in the New Year's Eve - Red and White Competition today!"

　The oasis is finally over, eh.I will never, never, never write about human bases again, I swear.

Then again, I originally wanted to write this article as a big, long, and long piece, but when I saw this kind of deserted result, my heart was broken.I really want to exercise my ability to quickly conclude essays within 5 words. My mother said that I don’t overwhelm myself with more skills.what do y'all think?

Anyway, no one sees this kind of women, and it's annoying to send men. I went out and turned right to the legendary JJ, you guys talk slowly!
