Puppeteer once said that if Lin Sanjiu was smart, she would hope that she would starve to death in the depths of the ocean. However, it seemed that this was not going to happen.
Lin Sanjiu was standing at the entrance of a McDonald's.
It had been more than a month since she was almost captured by Puppeteer.
For the past month or so, Lin Sanjiu had not had a good night's sleep. She did not have any fresh water to drink, so she had to rely on coffee every day. Unfortunately, her body was very sensitive to caffeine, so she was always in a state of exhaustion due to lack of sleep and forced excitement. After a month, the area under her eyes was already stained with a dark greenish-black hue.
Even so, she did not give up on searching for B.Rabbit and the others.
Puppeteer had already made up his mind to settle down at the port. Therefore, she could not get close to him. She could only circle around the port and search for her companions as she moved deeper into the sea. She searched for the shadows of her companions as she went deeper into the sea.
However, she found nothing.
Not only that, Lin Sanjiu found that she was lost.
Actually, it was normal to get lost. If anyone was thrown into the middle of the ocean, without a nautical map and compass, they would definitely lose their way. Lin Sanjiu had long lost her sense of land, and this was a fatal problem.
Without seawater, the seabed continent emitted a strange fishy smell under the scorching sun, which lingered for a long time. It did not take long for the seabed plain to be occupied by a series of hills. It looked like a forest of hills. After climbing over half of the hills, Lin Sanjiu stood on the highest hill. She was a little worried.
She had counted that she only had three boxes of chocolates left. Even though she still had quite a lot of coffee, she did not dare to drink too much. Most of her calories came from the chocolates. Now, she had run out of food. In front of her...
From Lin Sanjiu's point of view, she saw that about a kilometer away, the terrain seemed to have broken off. There was only darkness. She could not see anything. That was the underwater canyon.
She jumped down from the hill and came to the edge of the canyon.
Perhaps it was because of her curiosity about the seabed continent, Lin Sanjiu crouched on the ground even though she knew that there was no food in the deep sea. She looked down.
At such a close distance, the canyon beneath his feet was even more shocking. The ground at the bottom of the ocean turned into a cliff. He fell several thousand meters in a row without any pause before he plunged into the deep, dark valley. The starlight of the night couldn't shine into the canyon at all. As far as the eye could see, there was only endless darkness and steep cliffs at sharp angles.
Anyone who still wanted to go down after seeing this kind of landscape must be sick in the head, because if they went down, they would definitely not be able to come back up.
Lin Sanjiu cursed herself inwardly. With great difficulty, he climbed up a protruding rock and carefully climbed down. The coarse rocks and salt rubbed against her palms. If she hadn't gone through physical enhancement, this cliff, which even professional rock climbers wouldn't dare to climb, would have become her burial ground.
Why didn't he turn around just now? She asked herself a little regretfully.
Even if they were lost, if they kept walking on flat ground, it would be more hopeful than going down the canyon, right?
However, just as Lin Sanjiu was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was the voice she had heard ever since the New World descended. She had never heard of it again.
It was the sound of water.
It sounded like the slow sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Lin Sanjiu stopped and squatted down. She looked at the endless darkness where she couldn't see anything. Her heart was filled with emotion. Even though the temperature was ridiculously high, the water on Earth hadn't dried up yet. There was still a little bit of the world's ocean at the bottom of the ocean, almost ten thousand meters below the surface.
It was just like humans, wasn't it?
The sound of the waves seemed to be able to bring people back to the peaceful but uncherished era. Lin Sanjiu crouched on the edge of the cliff. She listened to the waves quietly for a while.
Of course, if that was the case, she would never go down.
Just as she stared at the bottom of the canyon, she suddenly saw something flash in the darkness.
It was as if the power connection wasn't very sensitive. After flashing a few times, it finally lit up. The bright yellow light looked so familiar. It cast a circle of light in the shape of an "M" in the darkness.
McDonald's.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu felt that she had a mental breakdown because she couldn't handle all the things that happened after the world was destroyed.
Otherwise, who could explain to her why there was a McDonald's signboard at the bottom of the ocean, almost ten thousand meters below the surface of the ocean when the world was destroyed?!
No, it wasn't just a signboard. Lin Sanjiu stared dumbfoundedly at the side of the "M". It flashed two more times. She could almost hear the sizzling sound of electricity flowing through the lamp. Then, a brightly lit McDonald's appeared in the darkness.
The orange light illuminated the foyer. As she was very far away, she couldn't see it clearly. However, the row of red "McDonald's" was clearly imprinted in her retina.
Lin Sanjiu had been drinking coffee for a month and barely slept. Right now, she was at the weakest point in her life. Even though she knew that something was wrong, she didn't give it much thought. She stepped on a rock and climbed down to the bottom of the canyon.
Lin Sanjiu's appetite, which had lost all of its vitality in the presence of the chocolate juice, suddenly came alive. Waves of hunger assaulted Lin Sanjiu's brain. As she climbed, she couldn't help fantasizing about chicken wings, burgers, fries … Even the cliff seemed to be nothing to her.
Even for a posthuman, climbing a cliff that was a few thousand meters tall was an extremely difficult task. The knife that Lin Sanjiu used to stabilize her body was bent and deformed halfway. Her fingers were covered in wounds and salt. The pain was so excruciating that it went all the way to her heart. When she reached the second half of the cliff, she almost rolled down. Without the protection of her singlet, when she stood up again, she was covered in cuts and bruises.
However, she finally reached the bottom of the canyon.
That warm and comfortable McDonald's restaurant. It was about two hundred meters away from her, exuding a wonderful smell.
Through the clean glass door, she could see the spotless red brick floor, the metallic silver countertop, and the dazzling English menu … A big mac with beautiful colors, plump beef, vegetable leaves, and cheese was so thick that one couldn't bite it off in one bite. It was exuding a supreme temptation.
Lin Sanjiu walked a few steps toward it in a daze. She stepped on the soft, muddy ground and stepped into the sea, making a splashing sound.
"Something's wrong, something's really wrong … There can't be a McDonald's restaurant here that is clean and has its lights on."
"Then, what did I see with my own eyes? Am I dreaming? "
She didn't need to slap herself. She could feel the pain from the countless small wounds on her body. That meant that she was very clear-headed.
When the glass door sensed someone approaching, it opened silently. The aroma of food assaulted her nostrils. Lin Sanjiu walked into the restaurant as if she was sleepwalking.
The glass door immediately closed behind her.
Lin Sanjiu looked around in a daze. There wasn't anyone in the restaurant. She could only smell the aroma of food coming from the kitchen. She called out her mouthpiece and cautiously approached the counter.
She couldn't see anything when she looked back. The fries machine was also empty. Lin Sanjiu was disappointed. "How can there be food in a restaurant that's ten thousand meters under the sea?"
However, she continued to walk. She couldn't control herself and walked around the counter. She was about to walk to the kitchen.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from somewhere. It was very low and seemed to come from somewhere far behind the kitchen.
Lin Sanjiu stopped in her tracks. She cocked her head to the side and listened. There was no sound again. The situation was too strange. She felt that she was in a daze and shouldn't act rashly. Therefore, she hesitated for a moment and decided not to enter the kitchen. Instead, she climbed up the counter and stuck the [Defense Version Teru Teru] on the roof.
Unexpectedly, the moment she stuck the [Defense Version Teru Teru] on the roof, the [Defense Version Teru Teru] let out a deafening shriek. It was almost like a shadow. She was startled and immediately sobered up. She quickly reached out to take it down, jumped off the stage and ran to the door.
The glass door did not budge.
"What's going on here?"
Even after Lin Sanjiu smashed the seemingly fragile glass door several times with all her might, there was not a single crack on it. She searched impatiently for the window. Only then did he realize that there were no windows in this McDonald's. But the Sunny Doll seemed to be scared out of its wits. Although it was taken down, its shrill cries still continued, which made people very upset.
The red tiles on the floor were wet and slippery. The lights flickered, and the surroundings quickly darkened. Very soon, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see anything. The most frightening thing was that the floor was tilting slowly. After a while, it became a steep slope. It was as if someone had lifted the dining hall and wanted Lin Sanjiu to slide down the floor into the kitchen.
The tilting of the floor became more and more severe. Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground with a thud. She grabbed the floor with both hands in vain, trying to stabilize herself. However, there was nothing but slippery and slippery floor.
As if sensing that her body was slipping down, the ordering counter suddenly melted and disappeared, clearing the way for her to fall into the kitchen. She didn't dare to imagine what was there.
Just when she was struggling and flailing about, the dining hall suddenly stopped moving.
The floor shook violently for a few times before it slowly leveled out. Even though she couldn't see anything in the darkness, she felt a gust of sea breeze from the direction of the door. It seemed that the door had opened. Everything happened as suddenly as it came. Lin Sanjiu was still in a daze as she clutched the floor. Suddenly, a wave of water gushed out from behind her. She couldn't help but be swept out of the door by the fishy wave.
With a splash, she fell headfirst into the sea outside.
Lin Sanjiu quickly got up on all fours. There was no light around her, so she had no idea what had just happened. It was so quiet around her that it was as if the strange McDonald's was just a dream.
"It would be great if there was light," Lin Sanjiu thought. She suddenly thought of something and took out a card. Immediately, the card in her hand glowed brightly and illuminated a few meters around her. It was the [Ability Polishing Agent] that she found on Ren Nan a long time ago.
Under the sparkling, flowing silver light, she stared at the thing in front of her, dumbfounded, speechless.
It was a gigantic fish.
A pair of white, pupil-less eyes stared straight at Lin Sanjiu. Its mouth, which was as long as a subway car, was half-opened. A large number of jagged fangs protruded from its mouth like a dense forest. Half of the giant fish's body was exposed on the surface of the water. Blood was gurgling out of its dark-colored fish skin, like countless small fountains, dripping into the seawater under its feet.
The most eye-catching thing was the long, lamp-like thing on its lower jaw.
"Miss Lin? Are you the one who killed this deep-sea arowana? "
Behind the giant fish head, in the deep darkness, a voice suddenly rang out. (To be continued.)
