Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 8 Bad Daybreak

In evolved humans, there is such an unwritten agreement - not to inquire about the abilities of others.

Since the abilities that have evolved are very strange and beyond imagination, every inconspicuous ability has the potential to become a trump card that saves one's life, so naturally, no one wants to expose their trump card to others.

Even using abilities in front of others has become taboo, if not compelled to do so.

Lu Ze had already mentioned this to Lin Sanjiu—then why did Mather make such a request again?

"Don't get me wrong," Marce smiled, probably feeling a little inappropriate.She is not young anymore, so her smile showed a few faint lines: "At my current level, I can't know your advanced ability, I can only analyze some basic data. Learn about your basic skills. Data, it's good for you too... it's all up to you, of course. Come try it?"

"Okay!" Lin Sanjiu happily responded and stretched out his arm. "I believe you have no ill will."

Besides, when she was entangled with the fallen species for a long time just now, she and Lu Ze both exposed their abilities.Neither of them are stupid. If they can guess Lu Ze's approximate ability, Lu Ze must have already made an estimate of his ability, and there is no need to hide it.

The hard nail tips shone with a cold metallic light, and when they touched Lin Sanjiu's arm lightly, the nail tips sank into the skin smoothly as if they had been invited—she just felt a little bit. With a slight pain, Marce retracted her nails and said with a smile, "Okay."

She dropped a round drop of blood in the palm of her hand, and the blood disappeared immediately, and then Mather closed her eyes.Lin Sanjiu looked again, the incision on his arm was too small, and the bleeding had already stopped.

"Mase's current abilities are still relatively basic, so reading your data may be a little slower..." Lu Ze explained as if a little embarrassed: "All advanced abilities will be gradually upgraded during use. Yes, you'll find out later."

Lin Sanjiu thought of his strange ability.

That is, these broken cards will also be upgraded?What will it become?At least she should be allowed to transform items without restrictions...?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think that she could close the iron gate twice - although the second time only lasted for a short second or two, but I wonder if today's quota is also used up?Looks like I need to find a suitable opportunity to try it out...

While waiting for Mather to read the data, Lin Sanjiu chatted with Lu Zetian out of curiosity. After all, he has seen two new worlds more than her, and many experiences are unheard of for her. , she was amazed, amused, and apprehensive.It's probably been a long time since Lu Ze had such a pleasant chat with anyone, but the two of them got a lot closer for a while.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, when I looked at Mather again, she was still the same as before, her eyes were closed, and she didn't say a word.

"How long will it take Mather to read the data?" Lin Sanjiu finally asked.

"Uh... It looks like it will take at least an hour or two." Lu Ze looked a little embarrassed. "When Mather analyzed my data before, it didn't seem to take so long..."

"So long?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.She immediately bent down and looked up at the sky outside the car window—the dark night had already faded a lot, and there was even a faint grayish whiteness in the east.Sitting back in place, a vague worry appeared on her face.

"What's the matter? Why is that face?"

"It's going to be dawn soon." Lin Sanjiu murmured, turning to look at Lu Ze. "It's already so hot at night. When the sun comes out, the car is just basking in the sun... What will the temperature be like?"

Lu Ze was dumbfounded by her question, and the two looked at each other - Lin Sanjiu rubbed his brows and said a little tiredly: "In two hours, I'm afraid we will all become ducks in the oven."

Although the car's fuel and electricity are still sufficient to support the air-conditioning for a period of time, the coolness is so fragile under the fierce heat of the outside world - this is only at night.This poor air conditioner in the car, even if it burns out the line, I am afraid it will not be able to resist the scorching sun during the day...

"You are familiar with this area, is there anything you can do?" Lu Ze's always relaxed expression couldn't help but become a little heavy.

There is really one way.Near this apartment complex is one of the most expensive shopping malls in the city.The building itself has lost its value-because the mall center has designed a high tropical plant forest, and in order to achieve a transparent and natural visual effect, the ceiling is all made of transparent tempered glass.It used to be a pleasant thing to walk beside the dark green plants with sunshine on your shoulders, but now it is deadly.

However, on the basement level of the shopping center, there is a vast imported supermarket.Without direct sunlight, there is still a lot of drinking water...

As soon as Lin Sanjiu told the situation in the center, Lu Ze immediately became excited: "Supermarket! That's great! You don't know, Mather and I haven't eaten anything for more than a year! In the previous one In the new world, we both eat compressed biscuits and dry food for the army every day. When the situation is bad, we even gnaw on the bark of trees. Oh, that constipation is uncomfortable, it seems that there is a stone in his stomach..."

Lin Sanjiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him - Lu Ze realized that he had said it again, and coughed awkwardly: "You are right, none of us know how much the temperature will rise during the day, it is true It should have been planned earlier."

After discussing a few words softly, the two quickly made a decision: first, drive the car to the entrance of the shopping center, find a shady place to stop, and then let Lu Ze carry Mather on his back and go down to the supermarket together. .The food area in the imported supermarket occupies a large part of the area, and with the inventory in the warehouse, it should be more than enough to supply rations for 3 people.And the location of this supermarket is also very ideal - if you are lucky, maybe you can settle down in the supermarket and use it as a stronghold to spend a smooth year...

Lin Sanjiu also knew that she might be a little too optimistic, and the actual situation might not be so ideal—but she never imagined that even the first step in the plan, "coming to the center gate", seemed to be almost the same at the moment. An impossible task.

The shopping center is ideally located, right on the main road in the heart of the city.A small area nearby is the famous city that never sleeps, with bright nights and nights and endless traffic.Coincidentally, this month is the "fifth anniversary" of the shopping center, and it is open 24 hours a day for the whole month——

When the temperature soared last night, the first thought of countless people was to escape here to enjoy the shade.

At this time, the cars on the main road were crowded into a long rumbling dragon, which pushed Lin Sanjiu and their cars far to the end; and every car that could still be started was in a starting state— —Squinting to the direction of the shopping center, I can only vaguely see the place where the fountain in front of the main entrance is, and there are people lying all over the place.

It seemed that it was impossible to drive past—Lin Sanjiu slapped the steering wheel hard, intending to reverse.However, she just looked up and found that after a while, a new car appeared in the rearview mirror, blocking their Audi firmly in the center of the traffic.

"It's been out of power for several hours, why are there still people coming in this direction?"

Being in the middle of countless hot engines, the drawbacks of a broken window are revealed: the pitiful cold air blown by the air conditioner can't resist the heat rushing in from the cracks in the window - Lu Ze Baijing His skin has begun to gradually show patches of blush, like a big rabbit.

Lin Sanjiu sighed: "Probably trying to escape from the city... This is a main road, if you go from here, you can take several intercity expressways. Let's wait, the cars behind must also go— —"

But in these short two sentences, a few new cars were added to the tail of the car dragon - the first one first noticed that the situation ahead was wrong, and I don't know if it was panicking, but there was no warning at all. As soon as he turned the steering wheel, he walked back, and suddenly crashed into the front of the car coming from behind, and immediately a thick smoke billowed.

Lin Sanjiu let out a low exclamation, and then cursed out a foul language.The car that was walking back and collided with was a Land Rover. At this moment, its huge body slammed horizontally, blocking half of the road solidly - plus the front of the other car was destroyed. It is impossible to move, this time, the escape route is completely cut off.

A car that just drove in the distance immediately turned a corner in a panic and ran away.

Except for Mather, who didn't know anything about him, the two people in the car sighed.What else can be done now?Had to abandon the car and walk.

The sky turned duck-egg cyan, and although it wasn't as bright as the day, visible objects were no longer a problem.

"How much water do we have?" Lu Ze licked his dry, peeling lips, not without concern.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the backpack—in fact, she didn't even know it, there was no bottle of mineral water in the bag, and there were only three unopened cans of Coke, which were still warm to the touch.

Considering the physical condition of the two, she threw a can of Coke over: "There are just three cans of this left, so drink it up! If you can't make up for water, at least make up for some sugar - we'll be consuming a lot in a while."

Unexpectedly, Lu Ze opened it and took a sip, but he was stunned, and asked "what is this?" while burping. It turned out that in his original world, there was no Coca-Cola Company.Seeing that he drank his drink while smacking his lips, Lin Sanjiu also threw away the empty can in his hand and asked, "Are you ready?"

Luzer nodded.

She took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car - the air that seemed to be dozens of times hotter than before suddenly rushed towards her face.
