It was the time of the day when the sun was the strongest. The ground was filled with deep cracks. Dust and sand were flying in the air under the scorching heat. It was difficult to breathe, and it made people feel as if they were going to suffocate to death in the next second.
At such a time, the survivors would usually look for a shady place to sleep, unlike now, where 20 to 30 people were sitting in a white tent under the sun, enduring the torment of the high temperature.
Although everyone was sweating and looked uncomfortable, for some reason, no one stood up and left. Everyone sat where they were, glancing at the direction of the tent from time to time.
The tent was as tall as a person and was made of insulated fabric. If they were to sit inside, it would be very cool.
At this time, the entrance of the tent was tightly shut.
"This guy really knows how to put on a show. I'm dying from the heat …"
Suddenly, a low curse came from the thigh of a gentle-looking young man. The young man quickly pressed the thing that was speaking and revealed a pair of gray gloves that were obviously made out of socks. He scolded softly, "Don't mess around! If they hear you, we won't have a chance. "
Under his palm, a brown-furred rabbit with a pink carrot on its fur stretched its back in dissatisfaction.
"Damn it, it's just a stupid ability. How dare it act like a tyrant …" It muttered in the end.
In fact, Hu Changzai felt the same way. However, he was different from the capricious rabbit. He had good self-control and sat upright.
After waiting under the scorching sun for a while, there was a sudden movement in the quiet tent. At first, it seemed to be the sound of rustling clothes, but as the breathing became heavier, the cloth of the tent could no longer cover up the sound of a woman's moaning. The people sitting outside the tent stirred a little. Then, as if they did not hear anything, they lowered their heads again.
After the man and woman's voices turned into excited shouts at the same time. After about ten minutes, the tent's door was opened. A woman with a flushed face and a voluptuous figure walked out.
She used one hand to pull the zipper of her short skirt and took a step forward. "Miss Mei Huan, has Mr. A woken up from his afternoon nap?" Someone spoke up in a timely manner.
The woman called Mei Huan glanced at the speaker with her watery eyes and smiled with satisfaction. "Mr. A just got up and is a little thirsty. The next person was going to get a bargain. As long as you prepare some fresh fruits for Mr. A, you can come in and get your visa. "
The moment she said that, including Hu Changzai, the twenty to thirty people were stunned.
In the past, fresh fruits were nothing, but in the Hyperthermal Hell —
"Miss Meihuan, you also know that fruits can't be preserved at all. Do you think juice will do? I have several flavors here. "A middle-aged man hurriedly asked.
Having fruit juice was the best they could hope for. The others only had some mineral water, so no one spoke for a while. Mei Huan snorted. He turned around and went back into the tent. After a while, he poked his head out and said, "The one with juice, come in!"
The middle-aged man went in with a face full of joy. This Consular Officer with the surname Ah asked for a lot of money for each visa. Being able to exchange a few bottles of fruit juice for a visa was indeed a good deal for him.
"I wonder what he will ask of us later," Hu Changzai sighed worriedly. Hu Changzai sighed worriedly. "We only have a few Special Items on us that we can use."
While they were talking, Mei Huan walked to his side. She was holding a small notebook in her hand. She raised her chin at him, "Hey, how many visas do you want to apply for?"
"Oh, I … I'm not here to apply for a visa. I'm here to check the names of two people to see if they have any visas … "
"Check people?" The pen in Mei Huan's hand paused. She rolled her eyes and sized him up. "It's expensive to check people! What are their names? "
Hu Changzai quickly replied, "One is Lin Sanjiu and the other is Hai Tianqing … Yes, Jiu as in drinking. Hai as in the sea. "
Lin Sanjiu's attack had indeed sent him flying to the edge of the sky. When Hu Changzai got up from the ground, he realized that his surroundings were very unfamiliar. After walking for two days, he realized that he was already in another city in the neighboring province. It was also his good luck that after being sent flying so far away, he actually met the rabbit so quickly.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any trace of Lin Sanjiu and Hai Tianqing.
Just when they were at their wits' end, they heard that a consular officer from another world had arrived nearby. The news had spread far and wide, so Xiao Jiu and the others might have heard about it. Perhaps they had come to look for the consular officer?
Just like that, the man and the rabbit came with a slim hope.
After they were done with their registration, Mei Huan returned to her tent lazily. Coincidentally, the middle-aged man who went in just now also came out. However, he didn't look too good. A young man immediately asked, "What's the matter? You didn't get a visa? "
"I got one," the middle-aged man waved a piece of paper in his hand. He didn't seem to be in a good mood. "I gave away three boxes of fruit juice, but I only got a visa to a B-level world."
The young man immediately sucked in a breath.
"Aiya, B-level! That's not easy … Where did you want to go originally? "
"Of course, I want to go to the Twelve Worlds Centrum!" The middle-aged man didn't say anything else. He sighed and left.
Hu Changzai was confused by the conversation. When he heard the middle-aged man's footsteps getting further and further away, he pulled the young man back and asked softly, "For a consular officer, does it matter which world the visa is given to make a difference? Why didn't you give that person the visa he wanted? "
The young man had long blond hair. When he heard Hu Changzai's question, he cast a sidelong glance at him and sneered, "First time?"
Hu Changzai nodded.
"No wonder," the blond young man said and didn't say anything else. He continued to play with the two glass balls in his hand. Hu Changzai waited patiently for a while. When he saw that the young man didn't seem to want to continue, Hu Changzai became anxious. Just as he was about to ask, the rhythmic footsteps of the middle-aged man suddenly stopped.
Hu Changzai raised his head and glanced around. The middle-aged man was standing at the end of the street. His body had already shrunk to half its original size, and he seemed to be looking at something in the distance.
Then, he shouted, "Puppeteer!" Puppeteer's voice could be heard near the tent.
Hu Changzai's heart skipped a beat.
"Is that really Puppeteer?"
"Why is he here?"
"What the f * ck! Should we hide for a while?"
Then, the people around them stood up one after another. They whispered among themselves, and the uneasy atmosphere instantly infected everyone.
The distance of one street was not far. Before the whispers died away, before the people who wanted to hide could even take a step, Puppeteer's appearance had already been imprinted in their retinas. In the next second, he was already standing in front of the tent.
Compared to when he was at the port, Puppeteer didn't change much. He still had the same strange attire and pale skin. The only difference was that the golden powder around his eyes had turned pink. The biggest change was the people behind him.
Not a single one of them looked like a plastic model.
Whether it was the woman in her thirties, the 1.9-meter-tall man, or the short girl … Everyone's hair, skin, and pores exuded a sense of realism. There was even a pimple on one of the young men's face. Obviously, they were not plastic models.
However, all of them had the same vacant look in their eyes, and their movements were stiff. Other than that, the only thing they had in common was the stitches on their necks. It looked as if all of them had undergone surgery on their throats.
The scene quieted down in an instant. Someone gulped down a mouthful of saliva. The sound was very loud.
There were a few people who didn't know Puppeteer, but they were also shocked by the scene. For a moment, no one spoke, and no one dared to move. Puppeteer was famous for his unpredictable mood. No one dared to make him angry.
With a pale face, Mei Huan crawled out of the tent helplessly. "Lord Puppeteer, why are you here?"
"Are you a consular officer?" Puppeteer asked with a blank face.
Mei Huan stole a glance at him. She clenched her arms, which made the cleavage on her chest even more prominent. "No, Mr. Ah is …"
The next moment, she was thrown back into the tent by a gust of wind. The tent could not withstand the force, and the support frame collapsed.
"Aren't you going to get the consular officer out here right now?"
"Lord Puppeteer, h-hello … I'm Axian. It's an honor to meet you … I apologize for my rudeness just now. Are you here to get a visa?" "That's right, Mr. Puppeteer. I'm Axian. It's an honor to meet you.
Puppeteer glanced at him, and the fat man immediately smiled politely. "Are you going back to the Twelve Worlds Centrum? I'll give it to you right now … "
"Hold on." Puppeteer stopped the fat man's short legs and said slowly, "Before you issue the visa, can you help me find a name?"
Fatty wiped his sweat and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
As if he sensed something, Puppeteer scanned the tent and frowned. Slowly, he uttered a name, "Lin Sanjiu."
Mei Huan, who was trembling as she crawled out of the tent, was stunned. Instinctively, she asked, "Alcohol?"
Puppeteer's piercing gaze, which reminded one of a wolf's, focused on her. "Do you know this person?"
"No, no, no, it's like this. Just now, there was a person who said that he also wanted to investigate this name …"
Right now, she just wanted Puppeteer to move his gaze away from her. She quickly pointed and said, "He's over there, and he even brought a rabbit with him … Huh?"
She pointed at a young man with blond hair and he jumped to the side, revealing an empty space behind him. (To be continued.)
