Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 762 The neighbors listened quietly to this conversation

Lin Sanjiu underestimated the physical strength of a fat man, but overestimated the firmness of the shoelaces.

The moment Shi Mi pushed the door open, she jumped up from behind the door and wrapped the rope made of shoelaces around his neck tightly.The shoelaces submerged into his fat and thick neck in the blink of an eye, Shi Mi was startled suddenly, and immediately struggled desperately, hitting her head, face and shoulders with a backhand several times.

Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to relax, but endured his beating, tightly clutching the ends of the shoelaces, desperately using it to tighten his throat; it's just that Shi Mi was tall and fat, like a crazy walrus. With her thin figure, she couldn't restrain him at all—then her hands suddenly loosened, and the shoelaces slipped from the knot.

Shi Mi fell to the ground wheezing, his face turned purple.

His eyeballs seemed to protrude and roll down, all exposed in the air: "It's you! You...you..." Before he finished speaking, he recovered, turned around and rushed towards the door, opening his mouth :"Come--"

Before he could yell for help, Lin Sanjiu grabbed the shoe she had just taken out just now, and looked at him with a smack and gag; When he got up, the punches were not light - it was funny to say, Lin Sanjiu never thought that the most strenuous melee battle he fought would be with an ordinary man weighing more than 200 jin.

Even though she was extremely strong, after a few seconds of muffled fighting, she couldn't help but break out in hot sweat.Although she couldn't restrain the opponent in terms of strength, Lin Sanjiu's fighting response over the years was far inferior to that of Shi Mi; In the gap, he stumbled towards the door and shouted: "Quick, come on—"

As soon as he said a word, there was a muffled sound on the back of his head, and a wooden chair shattered into several pieces on his head and fell down with a clatter.

The huge fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms fell to the floor with a bang, and his eyes kept rolling upwards.He wasn't unconscious yet, but the pain was so severe that he couldn't even make a sound.

Lin Sanjiu found a sharp stubble chair leg and compared it to Shi Mi's artery.

Before she could speak, a serious and upright female voice in the room suddenly startled her: "Attention, fellow townsman Shmi Gwen, you haven't confirmed your check-in within the stipulated time. You still have the last 30 seconds... "

While Lin Sanjiu was still looking for the source of the sound, Shi Mi struggled to get up regardless of the broken wooden chair leg in her hand.She stood up and backed away two steps. The fat man in blue didn't even look at her. He somehow found the strength to move to the corner trembling and hurriedly, and opened a small black box on the wall.

"Shmi Gwynn," he said breathlessly, "check in, check in."

The light in the small black box flashed, illuminating his face, and he was silent for a moment.The fat man in blue let out a heavy breath, closed it, and fell to the ground again.

When the shadow cast by Lin Sanjiu enveloped his face, it took a while for Shi Mi Gwen to open his eyes.

"Let's talk." She said, pushing the sharp stubble into his thick flesh. "You just do something I don't like and this stake goes in your artery. Do you understand?"

Shi Mi's face twisted, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether his expression was hatred or fear.

"You're finished," he gasped. "Even if you kill me, you'll be caught."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"Did you sneak out after confirming your registration?" He sneered, "It's useless. You have to confirm every 10 minutes. Once the organization finds that you have left in violation of the prohibition, it's useless for you to go anywhere. Can't get out of our Peanut Town..."

Lin Sanjiu shrugged: "I didn't confirm the report."

Looking at the fat man's expression as if he didn't understand, she said softly, "I didn't go back at all."

"It's impossible," Fatty denied, and then he seemed to think of something, and he hesitated.He stared at Lin Sanjiu, and asked hesitantly, "You... your neighbor teammate, why didn't you see you acting without authorization?"

"What neighbor group companion?"

Shmi was even more unbelievable, as if she were an alien. "After a morning walk, neighbors on the same block...will all head home together...they should be watching you! They're not doing a good job of watching you! I'm going to report them!"

"Don't get angry just yet," she said, sinking a little deeper in the stake. "That black mountain has moved so far towards the center of the town, the house allocated to me and the nearby block have long been crushed into ruins by the black mountain."

"But, but that's..." Shmi stammered, subconsciously looking around, as if looking for someone who could tell him what to do. "That was 30, [-] years ago."

Lin Sanjiu was not surprised, and nodded noncommittally: "So you all know that Heishan collapsed a large area of ​​houses before?"

Shi Mi let out a snort from his nose, "Be respectful, don't yell casually! That is the spiritual pride of our Peanut Town from ancient times to the present, and it is a spiritual mountain that has blessed us for thousands of years!"

Judging by his age, he seemed to have been in his teens when the Black Mountain invaded the town.However, Shmi seems to believe with all his heart that this black mountain "has existed since ancient times", a firm belief that is so airtight and without gaps that there is no room for anyone to even argue with him.

"...There are people in the collapsed house, right?" Lin Sanjiu said softly, "I have seen it turn the people in a block into meat sauce with my own eyes."

"That happened a long time ago," Shi Mi frowned. "You are right. During the past migration process, due to the limited conditions at that time, it was true that several people were accidentally crushed to death. But Lingshan is only in the town. Only in the center can we better protect us, take care of us, and lead us. Everything that happened in the past was for the well-being of the entire town and cannot be easily denied. In order to be able to walk to the center of the town, some people will inevitably die because of it, but you I don’t understand, this is an inevitable trend of history.”

He spoke so fluently that he seemed to have rehearsed it countless times.

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment when he coughed and rolled his eyes: "If you always care about the past and never forget it, you won't see our progress over the years! Let me tell you, I am Peanut Town Primary School The editor of the textbook, I advise you to make up lessons from elementary school textbooks."

He spoke hurriedly and quickly, and she realized that Shi Mi's voice had unknowingly increased a lot, and had even spread to the corridor outside; she hurriedly poked the stake, and ordered him to "shut up!" in a low voice, Immediately, he lowered his body and peeped out his eyes quietly from the side of the round hole by the door.

Lin Sanjiu shivered violently.

At eye level with her was the round hole in the door of the house across the corridor.In that dark round hole, a pair of wide-open eyeballs were staring in the direction of Shmi's house without blinking.

She hurriedly shrank back, and after confirming that the neighbors across the street hadn't seen her, she quickly glanced towards the front of the corridor.At a glance, what she could see clearly was limited, but she left a deep and clear impression: on each door in the corridor, in each black hole on the door, there were neighbors floating at this moment. their eyes.

In this thin and simple residential building, the sound of the fight just now must have been heard far away, and the neighbors on this floor probably heard it.However, no one came out to question the situation, no one came out to help Shi Mi, and no one called on others to catch Lin Sanjiu together—they just knelt quietly behind the door, peeking out from the round hole on the door , Waiting for 10 minutes to report to the TV screen again, and report the situation of this building upwards.

"How long until the next check-in?" She asked back.

"Six or seven minutes." Shi Mi was still lying on the ground, his face turned pale when he moved; but he looked rather complacent: "You finally realized that you are trapped in a cage, and you can't escape with your wings?"

These were some words that Lin Sanjiu couldn't understand.

"Cage?" She even thought the other party was a bit ridiculous. "You said I was in a cage? Why didn't you see what kind of life you guys lived?"

"What kind of life?" Shi Mi glared, "A life of great material abundance! Get what you want, a life where all people are happy and happy!"

"When I first came to Peanut Town, I saw a woman walking her dog." Lin Sanjiu tilted his head, looked at him a few times, and stood up holding the stake. "Now you can go out without permission?"

"You don't understand." Shi Mi pressed his head tightly, the blow just now caused a lot of blood to flow from the back of his head. "It's chaotic and dangerous outside. If the town hall doesn't take care of it and let people go out casually, I don't know what will happen. Peanut Town is already considered a very safe place. You haven't seen it yet. It's outside!"

"Isn't Peanut Town closed all around? Why, have you seen it?"

"Of course, it's often shown on TV." Shi Mi reluctantly moved to a corner and sat down, watching Lin Sanjiu rummaging through a set of elementary school textbooks he had neatly stored.He seemed to think that Lin Sanjiu was doomed, so he didn't resist anymore, but just smiled quietly: "The place outside where no one cares, the place without Lingshan, it's almost fatal, murders, robberies, terrorist attacks... all because there are no such places as us." excellent management."

"Okay, I have one more big question."

Lin Sanjiu didn't even look back, while counting his time, he flicked through the brightly colored primary school textbooks in his hands. "Why do they force you to eat so fat? It's like raising pigs. What will happen to you when you get too fat?"

The fat man who was leaning against the wall was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Let us eat more to make us strong and healthy, what are you thinking!" He smiled, and twisted his eyebrows because the smile shook the wound: "Do you think that the mayor of Lingshan and Ooye wants to eat us?" Meat? Two days ago, an old lady in our building died, and she was taken to the cemetery to be buried! I have lived here for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who was killed for eating meat. !"

His wound hurt so much that he had to stop panting again.

"Besides, all the food is uniformly distributed by the town hall. There is everything you need, and you can't finish it. Tell me, the mayor of Aoye wants to eat meat, so he can just eat what he distributes. Why bother to go around? Such a big circle?"

Lin Sanjiu was startled, rolled up the book, and looked back at him.

　Thank you Sunflower Neck Pain, Naming Incompetent Roasted Whole Lamb, April Jumping from a Building in the World, Zike in the Cloud, Charging Fairy, Water Monster Pig, French Girl Meixiang, Fenghua Rushi, etc. for your rewards and monthly tickets!Recently, I was watching Hayek. I bought both the Road to Serfdom and The Principles of Free Order. After reading it for a few days, I only finished one chapter, because the cost of understanding is a bit high, and I don’t know if it’s because of the translation or the original text is relatively obscure. .While reading and taking notes, I couldn't help but come up with a clichéd thought: Is this book not far from being banned?
