Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 987 No one wants to live

"You know the answer," is not a question, but an affirmative statement.The middle-aged gentleman stared at Lin Sanjiu, and slowly put his hand into his trouser pocket: "...what is it?"

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the half-sunk blue swan boat in the distance, and turned his gaze with a cold expression.

"There's no need to be so heavily guarded," she looked at his trouser pockets, "Once Zao Peng dies, there will only be four of us left here. According to the conditions given in the dungeon, we can all survive."

Phoebe's hand froze, as if surprised and suspicious.

"You...are you willing to tell us? Tell your enemy?" He seemed very unable to understand this, and soon thought of a new possibility: "I see, we can't verify that what you are telling is the truth, you Say anything."

"I'm different from you."

Lin Sanjiu snorted softly: "You have been thinking about doing something to me after the dungeon is released, so you think I take it seriously? I don't care what will happen to you after the dungeon is released, because no matter how much you come Personally, I can still beat you back."

The middle-aged gentleman seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment—after a few seconds, he asked as if he had just swallowed something hard, "So... what does a sturdy boat look like?"

"Let them gather the boats together first." Lin Sanjiu motioned to the two people in the distance, "It will be easier for us to find them one by one."

"Looking for... what?"

"Garbage, or stains."

This answer was obviously beyond Phoebe's expectation—after Natasha and the round-faced man approached, when she heard her repeat the sentence, they all had the same doubts.

"What trash are you looking for?" Natasha asked while looking at her feet.

"When I shuttled around the boat, I found that these pedal boats can be roughly divided into two types." Lin Sanjiu got into a new boat, turned around and kicked the boat that had just left, and it really started Shaky and unsteady. "...No, it's not the difference between old and new, but the difference between clean and dirty."

The other three just looked straight at her.On the surface of the lake, Zao Peng's howl echoed from time to time, erratic and intermittent. It sounded more like the sound of the cold wind passing through the gap in winter night, but it didn't seem like a human being.

"The loudspeaker said that the way to distinguish is very simple. After guessing the answer, I found that it is really simple." At this time, Lin Sanjiu returned to the yellow duck boat she had boarded once, bent down and picked up a duck from the foot of the seat. Drinking cups, waved towards them: "Look."

It was a thin and soft plastic cup, like a milk tea cup; there was a straw stuck in the seal, and half of it slipped out.

"Pedal boats don't have doors. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of tourists, there are almost no places for garbage to get stuck inside except for the seats." Lin Sanjiu gestured to several people, "We all thought of something before. Something is missing, indicating that it may have sunk to the bottom; but none of us have considered it from the opposite direction—there is something more on board, which just shows that it has not sunk to the bottom.”

"Trash...?" the round-faced man murmured.

"Yes. Besides it, I have seen plastic bottles, paper towels and other rubbish in other ships, although I don't remember which ships." Lin Sanjiu said here, throwing the drink cup into it in the water.Everyone's eyes were attracted by it; the transparent plastic cup was floating on the lake, shaken by the waves, and there was no sign of sinking for a while.

"When I realized this, I also considered another possibility." Lin Sanjiu stared at the plastic cup, "The bottom of the lake is full of garbage and corpses. Is it possible that when the dungeon picked up the sunken ship, The trash from the bottom of the lake just got stuck in the boat?"

"Paper towels," Natasha raised her head abruptly, "on which ship did you see the paper towels? The paper towels couldn't have floated in from the bottom of the lake—it would be soaked in the lake—"

"It's impossible for this plastic cup to be from the bottom of the lake." The round-faced man stared at the plastic cup on the water surface with a very eager gaze, "It's lighter than water, and the only possibility of sinking is that water seeped into the cup in it. But there's nothing in the plastic cup..."

"Keep looking," Lin Sanjiu waved his hand at them, "We can't rule out the possibility that the water has dried up. But we now know that we should look for boats with 'more stuff'—whether it's rubbish, it still looks a little sticky Gooey juice stains, anything that looks like it hasn't been soaked in water is our target!"

"There are not many unsinkable ships now," the middle-aged gentleman said as if concluding, "It should take less than 10 minutes, and we can start to go back."

"What if we found more than four?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.

This possibility is very high, after all, it is possible that some rubbish may have floated into the boat from the bottom of the lake, and it is difficult to tell whether things like plastic bags have been soaked in water—Lin Sanjiu looked around the crowd, and said with an emphatic tone : "Then we can put all the boats in a row and drag them forward. Because there can only be one person on a boat, if someone's boat starts to sink, the other three people must cooperate to change it. on the next ship."

The three people who belonged to the same group originally froze when they heard this sentence.

"Remember, from now on, we must fully cooperate and help each other, otherwise everyone may be the next morning friend." Lin Sanjiu paused, and raised his voice: "Do you understand?"

Even though they all belong to the same organization in the Twelve Realms, they still live in perennial fear of survival and lack of supplies - and the more scarce, the more people feel that "I can only live if everyone else dies" .This concept has been deeply rooted in the bones of evolutionaries, and sometimes it is even blind, making it difficult for people to accept that human beings are actually a species that must cooperate to survive.

Although several people nodded, when Lin Sanjiu stepped into another boat, she still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.Natasha followed closely behind her, still not giving up on her question: "Well, you said you saw the tissue—"

Before she could finish speaking, a sharp piercing sound cut off the second half of her sentence.Lin Sanjiu only had time to turn his head when his field of vision was blinded by the incandescent flames—a loud bang, accompanied by a burst of water hitting his body like a torrential rain, the ship broke Several pedal boats jumped high into the air.

The few people were drenched again in an instant, and turned their heads in a daze.

Zao Peng stood on the sunken blue swan, and the lake had just reached her waist.On her shoulders, at some point, she carried a pure black cylinder—Lin Sanjiu didn't know what kind of weapon it was, but she knew she wouldn't like that answer.

"Bastard, if I can't live, none of you can live!" she hissed.

　First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone. From the perspective of domestic time, I should have not updated for two days, because I have not reversed the jet lag, and I am sleepy and tired as if I have been drugged... In the end, I slept for 17 hours at a stretch. ...yes, seventeen hours... I woke up feeling a little scary too...accurately one day after the jet lag.But now I have found an update time!It should be around this time, before noon
