The moment Lin Sanjiu realized that the person on the bed had opened his eyes, she quickly took a few steps back. Fortunately, her body reacted faster than her mind. After she took a few steps back, Puppeteer and the saliva towel under his chin disappeared into the darkness. Lin Sanjiu could no longer see them clearly. Fortunately, she took off her mask when she realized that the light in the building was dim, so she was not attacked. After all, no matter what saw her, as long as it could "see" her, there must be light.
Their eyes met in the dim light, and the air was silent for a few seconds.
"What's wrong with you?"
When Puppeteer spoke, his voice was hoarse and weak. Compared to his usual gloomy and cold demeanor, he sounded like a completely different person.
"What's going on here?" Every word he uttered seemed to make him faint.
Lin Sanjiu did not expect him to wake up so quickly.
The current situation was a little hard to explain. While Lin Sanjiu was scratching her face, she noticed that the figure on the bed was getting impatient and was struggling to sit up. "Don't move!" she yelled. In her anxiety, she did not think too much. A string of keywords came out of her mouth, "Flood, Teleportation, your visa, Edible Truth, hospital!"
"Alright, it's pretty easy to explain."
At the very least, Puppeteer immediately understood what was going on. Sure enough, he gave up struggling and lay back on the pillow. Just this action alone already made his breathing become hurried, the sound of his breathing stirring the dark night.
Perhaps he was seriously injured, but he did not notice that there was something under his chin. Lin Sanjiu was afraid of the saliva towel and did not dare to get too close to him. She stood a distance away and craned her neck to ask, "I didn't find a doctor. Do you want to sleep for a while more?"
Even in the dark, the glint in his eyes was enough to send a chill down Lin Sanjiu's spine.
Luckily, she was already used to it.
She guessed that Puppeteer must have a lot of questions to ask right now, but every time he opened his mouth, he would gasp for air. Puppeteer pursed his lips tightly and refused to say a single word, probably because he did not want to show any weakness in front of her.
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to start the conversation.
"Do you have any healing or life-saving Special Items?" Lin Sanjiu walked around his bed and opened the medicine cabinet again.
"… No."
She sighed inwardly. She really could not imagine a Puppeteer who cherished his life. Anyway, it was very difficult for her to understand how a person could live with such a thought.
"There are some things here. I'll see if there's anything I can use … Go to sleep first. I'll keep watch here. Nothing will happen."
"… I can't be at ease with you around."
He wished it was his mouth that was hurt.
"… Don't touch me."
Lin Sanjiu was just looking for a roll of bandage when she was stunned by his words. She had no choice but to put down the bandage and wait for him to fall asleep again. "How do you feel now? Where do you feel uncomfortable? "
"… You graduated from playing house medical school?"
Even though she was out of breath, she did not forget to mock Puppeteer. She could only sigh. Puppeteer took a deep breath in the dark before he finally said, "Why …?"
Lin Sanjiu instantly understood.
They were never really companions. In fact, Lin Sanjiu did not even know what their relationship was. Their relationship was so complicated that it had long deviated from the standard definition of companions, friends, enemies, or husband and wife. They resisted each other, understood each other, and disliked each other, but their paths were deeply intertwined.
In order to keep Puppeteer alive, she had to make him angry, even if it meant that more people would die because of this night. However, she could not worry about the future.
"I didn't save you for anything. After all, we are friends." Lin Sanjiu pulled out another drawer and bent down. "I can't just watch you die. You don't have any other good points … Hmm, but you are a man of your word. Since you didn't kill me, I can't just leave you alone. "
She picked up a tube of ointment. Even though she could not read a single word, she looked at it for a while and said with her back facing him, "Don't worry. It'll be fine. Scourges live for thousands of years!"
Puppeteer probably had the will to live because he was angry. The fact that he did not kill her with his life was the best proof of that. Watching Lin Sanjiu take out a tray full of bottles and jars, he panted for a while. Obviously, he was trying to suppress his anger. Then, he said slowly, "I'm asking … why is there a leek on my shoulder?"
Here comes the part that is hard to explain.
"Hmm? Leek? That's weird, "Lin Sanjiu had never taken Qing Jiuliu's acting classes, so she immediately turned her face away to avoid Puppeteer's attention." Do you need me to pick it up for you? Oh, okay, okay. I know. I won't go over. "
From the corner of her eye, she could see that Puppeteer was struggling to pick up the leek. It made her feel a little uncomfortable. However, Lin Sanjiu did not reveal any expression that she was not supposed to. She pretended that she did not see it. When Puppeteer finally regained his composure, he finally asked, "Is it edible?"
"Truth, edible truth," she said hurriedly, "is the name of this world. Do you know what it is? "
He was the one who got the visa, so he should know more than her. Sure enough, Puppeteer heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He seemed to relax a little.
"Oh, I see …" He closed his eyes, and his voice became muffled. It sounded like he was murmuring to Lin Sanjiu, "Then I'm relieved."
Puppeteer was relieved, but Bohemia was not.
Metal had a certain elasticity to it. When she was staring at the wall of the box, the bulge behind the metal wall was getting closer and closer to her. It was about to brush past her. After being stunned for half a second, Bohemia came back to her senses. Like a startled squirrel, she leaped onto the front of the truck and lowered her body to stare at it.
The bulge, which looked like a human face, had completely deformed the metal wall. Even over the sound of the truck's engine, Bohemia could hear the creaking sound of the metal being pulled.
Very quickly, a black crack appeared in the middle of the protrusion.
'What the hell is that? '
Due to the angle, Bohemia was the only one who noticed that "that" had also crawled out from the front of the container. All the heads that popped out from the window were looking up at the sky. From the tall container filled with corpses, more and more thin, flesh-colored pillars grew out. They looked like a disgusting forest of pillars, slowly reaching into the sky.
"Ordinary people are just unreliable," Bohemia grumbled in a low voice.
Bohemia grumbled in a low voice. She quickly climbed to the top of the passenger seat, wrapped her hand in her sleeve, and smashed the glass with her fist. As soon as the glass cracked, a scream came from inside. Before the scream could fade away, Bohemia had already lowered half of her body, reached her hands into the passenger seat, and grabbed the collar of the man in the passenger seat. Then, she forcefully dragged him out of the broken window. Bohemia grumbled in a low voice. She gritted her teeth and pulled him out of the window.
The scream quickly turned into a long cry. She flung it behind her, and in the blink of an eye, it was no longer audible. The wind fluttered her loose and fluttered dress. Wrapped in a gust of air, she nimbly flipped from the top of the car into the window. The wind brushed past the corner of her dress, and the sound of a bullet hitting the roof rang out, followed by a flash of sparks.
In another car that was driving parallel to the loading truck, the muzzle shifted, revealing Old Da's face.
"It's that woman's companion!" he shouted to the back, still trying to aim at Bohemia. "She's following us!"
The driver of the truck was probably the most stressed person on the scene. As soon as Bohemia sat down, he let out a wail that sounded like a dying animal. She reached out her hand and slapped the driver's head. "Unload the container!"
There was another strange whimpering sound, but it was hard to tell if it was a whimper.
"Don't!" Old Da heard it and shouted anxiously, "The container isn't broken yet! Hold on a little longer! We'll cross the border soon!"
In a country that never closed its doors at night, it was only natural that its borders were open to the rest of the world.
"Hold on, my ass!" Bohemia waved her hand and placed the dagger on the driver's neck. "There's something growing out from the back. It's going to touch the front of the truck!"
If it weren't for the fact that she had to keep these people alive for questioning, she wouldn't even care about what they were going to touch.
"Okay, okay, I'll unload it," the driver's face was covered in cold sweat. He looked at the rearview mirror a few times, "I'll unload it now —"
The last half of his sentence was drowned out by the loud crack of the container.
As if freed from a cage, a long and slender black shadow leaped into the sweet air outside. Its growth speed was much faster than its companions. As soon as it leaped into the night, it suddenly expanded. In a blink of an eye, it had crossed the small space between the container and the front of the truck. With a loud boom, it went straight into the front of the truck.
Bohemia didn't even have time to say a word. As the black shadow rushed into the front of the truck and swallowed the driver's seat in the blink of an eye, Bohemia pushed the door open and fell into the night wind. She landed on the road and rolled a few times before she finally stopped. There were a few scratches on her body.
When she looked up again, she saw a long and slender flesh-colored pillar slowly extending out from the front of the truck like a bamboo skewer piercing through a piece of barbecued meat.
When the other trucks were startled, they abruptly swerved and braked. The sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground pierced through the night sky like a scream. Bohemia leaped up and dove into the bushes beside the road. As soon as she landed, she heard a series of loud bangs behind her. The heavy trucks crashed into each other. Broken glass, the smell of gasoline, and the stench of blood filled the air in an instant.
Bohemia gasped for air as she stood up and glanced around. Blood was dripping from the trucks. The drivers' heads had smashed through the windshields. It seemed that they were unlikely to survive. She took a deep breath and suddenly heard a loud boom. The side of the container that was filled with corpses broke.
The metal plates fell to the ground, and a few corpses rolled down to the floor. Several tall, flesh-colored pillars swayed gently in the night breeze as if they were enjoying this peaceful and beautiful world. As if they had sensed something, they slowly turned towards Bohemia.
"This place is safe..."
