Lin Sanjiu endured the waves of fatigue and tried her best to keep up with the plump man's pace. The two of them trudged through clumps of weeds that were half the height of a grown man. This was probably a part of the city. Sometimes, when they parted the tall grass, they could still see some pavement tiles. However, after a long period of abandonment, most of the bricks had been cracked and decomposed by the wildly growing plants.
Not far away from them, the huge grayish-white rat known as the "Land Chicken" was following behind the plump man. When it walked faster, the small rat in the bump would sway in the mucus.
However, Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to feel nauseous because the plump man's words had captured all her attention. "When Er Dao told me about it, I laughed at him! At that time, I couldn't believe that a lover from another world would come looking for him. Ahem, I didn't expect it to be true. "
When Lin Sanjiu learned that there might be a woman who was desperately looking for Er Dao, she felt very complicated. She was speechless for a long time and could only let out a soft sigh.
"But then again, why is Er Dao this rascal so careless? It's too dangerous for a woman like you to wander around alone … "The plump man patted the weeds beside him angrily." Sister-in-law, when you go back, please lock the door and windows. I will go out and look for him. "
Lin Sanjiu had told him that she was separated from Er Dao because she was in danger.
After thanking him, she couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. Of course, it was impossible for the plump man to see Er Dao. She just needed to find some anti-radiation supplies and escape before he realized something was wrong.
Moreover, it wasn't difficult to glean some information from the plump man's words. It was very helpful to her at this moment.
First of all, this apocalyptic world must have been formed a long time ago. It wasn't a new world like the "Hyperthermal Hell" that had just arrived.
Outside of the glass sphere city, it was obvious that the posthumans had already figured out a way to survive. For example, the large, disgusting rat at their feet. It was the main source of meat here. Even though it was a mutated species after radiation, it didn't seem to be ferocious. It was said that its meat was very tender, comparable to chicken. That was how it got the name "Land Chicken".
Based on what he said, Er Dao even had a place to stay. Perhaps he had some anti-radiation supplies at home.
Most importantly, Lin Sanjiu found out something that she had not noticed before. The people in Garden of Eden were not sent over in the same batch.
Perhaps it was because the Garden of Eden had been formed for a long time. Therefore, there were people who were teleported over at any time, and everyone's "progress" in this world was also different. Even though today was Lin Sanjiu's first day, it might be the end for others.
This also meant that Lin Sanjiu could borrow a lot of experience and convenience from her predecessors.
"Right, what should I call you?" She asked the fat man in a hoarse voice.
The latter clapped her hands. "That's right, I haven't introduced myself yet. You can call me Yuzi. Er Dao and I are old friends. We came here together in the previous world … "
The two of them chatted as they walked for almost an hour. After putting on the helmet, Lin Sanjiu felt a little better. Besides, she didn't want a stranger to know how weak she was at that moment, so she gritted her teeth and continued walking.
When they finally arrived at the three-story building where Er Dao lived, the back of her tight singlet was already drenched in sweat.
This building was probably a cheap motel in the past. She could still vaguely make out the patterns of knives, forks, and beds on the dirty and blackened walls. There was even a moldy red carpet in the lobby.
"This place is bigger. Both of us will stay here. Er Dao will stay on the second floor, and I will stay on the first floor. " After Yuzi gave his instructions, he quickly ushered the grayish rat into the corridor of the guest rooms. He had already converted one of the guest rooms into a rat's nest, so the rat went in with great familiarity.
It watched as the source of its meat entered the house. After closing the door, Yuzi turned to Lin Sanjiu and smiled. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I can get you something … You can go upstairs and rest. When Er Dao comes back, I will teach him a lesson for you. "
The food and water here were all heavily contaminated by radiation. If Lin Sanjiu really ate it, her body might collapse immediately. Her body might collapse immediately. She waved her hand. "No, don't stand on ceremony. Just let me rest … Where's his room?"
She was already exhausted, and she wanted to search for Er Dao's belongings as soon as possible.
Yuzi brought her upstairs and opened the first door in the corridor. After giving her a few instructions, he suddenly laughed when he turned to leave, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen your face yet! Don't worry, this building is very safe. You don't have to wear the helmet all the time … "
Looking at his curious expression, Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment before taking off the helmet.
"If I want to stay here until I get my hands on some gummies, it's too unnatural to wear the helmet all the time …" Lin Sanjiu ran her fingers through her hair and pretended to be calm as she looked into Yuzi's eyes. She hoped that he hadn't seen the photo of Er Dao's lover.
Yuzi's gaze lingered on the pattern on her helmet for a few seconds. Then, he laughed, "The thing you made is quite nice! Alright, you should rest first. I will go out and look for him. Be careful. "
"Okay, thank you," Lin Sanjiu replied softly.
She had to find a way to resist the radiation as soon as possible. The moment Yuzi closed the door, Lin Sanjiu immediately walked into the room. When she saw the room, she was a little stunned.
The beige wallpaper was splattered with large patches of blood. The bedsheet was cut into pieces, and a few wooden planks were strewn across the corridor. A chair was overturned in the corner …
"No matter how I look at it, this room doesn't seem to be occupied …"
When Lin Sanjiu turned around and rushed to the door, she pulled it with all her might. As expected, the door wouldn't open.
Lin Sanjiu immediately forgot about the discomfort in her body. All she could taste was the bitter taste of regret. She slid down the door and laughed at herself. If she wasn't so exhausted by her body that she couldn't think straight, she wouldn't have fallen for a stranger's trick so easily.
After sitting quietly for a while, she asked softly, "What do you want to do with me?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't hear Yuzi leave. He was probably observing the situation.
After a moment of silence, his voice came through the door. He sounded a little surprised, "You are very calm."
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything. She tried smashing the door lock a few times. She found that the door lock was already broken, but for some reason, the door was as solid as a wall. It didn't budge at all. She had only smashed the door a few times, but she was already panting heavily.
Yuzi waited outside the door for a few seconds. When he realized that Lin Sanjiu couldn't put up much resistance, he laughed and said, "It's a waste of effort." Then, he walked down the stairs.
Lin Sanjiu slumped on the bed when she heard him walking away. Her skin, muscles, and bones were aching.
"Forget it. Since I'm here, I'll just take things as they come. Anyway, I can't do anything in my current condition."
A wave of dizziness washed over her. Lin Sanjiu pinched her skin to keep herself awake. She tried to gather her strength while she listened for any movement outside the door. She didn't know how long she stayed like that. She only heard Yuzi's voice when she saw the starlight in the dark blue sky outside the window.
He seemed to be talking to another person.
"She's of good quality. You don't have to worry about that." As he spoke, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Indeed, there was more than one person. "I've seen her face before. She's quite pretty. She even has a lot of patterns on her face …"
"Patterns? Could it be a tattoo? " The other man clicked his tongue. "If it's too big and covers her face, I can't give you a high price."
"No!" Yuzi hurriedly explained. He held something in his hand and waved it, causing the room's door to open. "You'll know when you go in."
A tall, bald, muscular man glanced at him and sneered, "How many times have you been here? You still don't have the guts to go in first?"
Yuzi lowered his head, "Hehe, it's just a precaution. You know that I'm not as skilled as you … "
The bald man didn't say much. He pressed on his waist and a faint light suddenly shone around him. Then, the light disappeared as if it had never shone.
The moment he stepped into the room, he frowned.
Anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge would be able to tell that the precautions they took just now were actually unnecessary — because the woman standing in the corner of the room looked very weak.
She was wearing a helmet, so Yuzi couldn't see how she looked like. Even though the temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius, she was still sweating profusely. Her hand, which was holding a long, strange object, was trembling slightly. She seemed to be in great discomfort.
The bald man glared at Yuzi with dissatisfaction.
"That's her? Is she sick? " He looked at Lin Sanjiu from head to toe as if he was sizing up a commodity. When he saw that she had placed her hand on an old-fashioned tape recorder, he still didn't take it to heart, "You don't even know what she looks like. Isn't it a waste of my time?"
When Yuzi heard that, he became a little anxious, "She's not sick. Maybe her Potential Growth Value is a little low —"
Before he could finish his sentence, a man's voice rang out from the corner of the room. It was coming from the tape recorder, "How about a sharp blade? Can you summon a sharp …"
In a flash, before Yuzi could react, Baldy suddenly kicked him to the ground. Then, with a wave of his hand, the tape recorder rose from the ground as if it had eyes of its own and rushed into Baldy's palm.
The voice from the tape recorder stopped abruptly. The Pygmalion Choker under Lin Sanjiu's bandage died down before it could heat up.
Only then did Baldy look at the voice recorder in astonishment. Then, he looked at Lin Sanjiu. There was a tinge of excitement in his solemn voice, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You actually managed to awaken my 'sense of danger'!"
