I bought a new computer! My heart ached so much that I almost fainted. Sorry for the delay in posting this chapter. I can post it within 30 minutes.]
The last two steps of the elevator were already bathed in orange sunlight. The intense light was like an eraser that erased the darkness in the space, revealing the true colors of the objects. When the sunlight shone into her amber eyes, Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes. After living in the dark for 48 hours, she wasn't used to the sudden light.
Not only the light, but the surrounding temperature also rose dramatically. Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was going to be swallowed alive by the heat wave. For a moment, she felt as if her blood was boiling. If it wasn't for her [Overall Physical Enhancement] ability, she wouldn't have been able to survive in this sunlight.
It was said that this ability could greatly modify the human body. Now, Lin Sanjiu was starting to believe it.
She blinked her eyes and tried her best to adapt to the high-definition vision that her third ability gave her. The ground not far away from her was splattered with brown blood stains, stains, pus, and minced flesh.
Lin Sanjiu frowned. Before she could even feel disgusted, she suddenly realized what was in front of her. Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened. She exchanged glances with Luther, and both of them gasped at the same time.
They were here to clean up the corpses.
Since yesterday, the mountain of corpses at the elevator entrance had started to give off a strange smell. The rotting corpses were basically piled up in front of their house. If they started spreading diseases like plague, the three of them wouldn't be able to survive even with their strong bodies.
Therefore, Lin Sanjiu decided to move the mountain of corpses outside and burn it while the sun was shining brightly.
However, both of them were a little dumbfounded. Lin Sanjiu did see the dirty blood and minced flesh, but the place where the mountain of corpses used to be was now only filled with dirty blood and minced flesh.
"Where … are the corpses?" Luther mumbled as he took a few steps forward. He didn't even notice that he had stepped into the filthy and smelly liquid. "Could it be that … Kong Yun absorbed all the corpses last night?"
Even though Kong Yun had said that a living being was better than a dead one, with such a ready-made mountain of corpses, no one could say for sure if she would absorb it all if she was tempted.
Lin Sanjiu's eyes darted back and forth a few times. Her face grew paler and paler. She said in a low voice, "It's not her."
"Ah? How can you be so sure? "
"There are several reasons. Firstly, there were at least twenty to thirty corpses piled up here, but it had only been ten hours since Kong Yun appeared last night … She didn't have that kind of time. Secondly, she could absorb the corpse cleanly, but what about the clothes? Where are the clothes on the corpse? "Lin Sanjiu tried her best to calm herself down and not look at the street outside.
Through the tall glass doors of the shopping center, it was easy to see the traffic jam on the road. "The third reason is … take a look outside."
Luther narrowed his eyes and used his [Eagle Vision] to look into the car. Almost instantly, he realized what Lin Sanjiu was referring to.
Last night, when they passed by the traffic, there were clearly quite a number of people knocking on the windows to ask for help. But now, these cars were empty. There was not a single person in them. Some of the car windows were broken, and some of the car doors were open. Luther saw a gray shirt and a pair of jeans lying on the road. One of the sleeves was up, and the other was down. It was as if the owner of the shirt was frozen in time.
Luther had an impression of this shirt. Last night, it was worn by a young man with a fashionable hairstyle.
They had indeed overlooked this fact. The entire street was jammed with cars, and most of the cars were occupied by a living person. To Kong Yun, this was no different from a buffet! Luther shuddered. Even though he had seen countless corpses, he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.
Lin Sanjiu cursed, which was rare for her. "I really didn't expect that she would do this … She really has the heart to kill a living person every hour!"
"Should we go out and see if there are any survivors? We will see what we can do then … If we leave them outside, I'm worried that they will attract Kong Yun's attention again, "Lin Sanjiu said irritably.
Luther sighed and retracted his gaze with a frown. He tried his best not to think about how Kong Yun had tricked the people into opening the car doors one by one. He forced himself to focus on the strange situation in front of him.
"That's weird. If it's not Kong Yun, then where are all the corpses? "
"I don't know," Lin Sanjiu's face darkened. Lin Sanjiu didn't look too good. She walked around the area a few times, but she couldn't find anything. "Who would spend so much effort just to move the corpses away?"
Luther walked a few steps behind Lin Sanjiu. Just when he was about to ask Marcie to come up and take a look, he suddenly felt something beneath his feet. He lost his balance. In a panic, he tried to regain his balance, but his feet were too slippery. With a loud thud, he fell into a pool of dirty blood. He immediately cried out in disgust.
The culprit who stepped on the bottom of his foot slid far away. When Lin Sanjiu looked at it, she immediately felt nauseous.
It was the eyeball of a person that Luther had stomped on.
Luther saw it too. He quickly stood up from the putrid pool of blood. He coughed and stomped his feet. It seemed that he was completely disgusted.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go downstairs and see if there are any wet wipes for you to wipe …" Lin Sanjiu said as she walked away from Luther.
When they reached the elevator, she turned around and saw that Luther was still shaking his head like a wet dog. She couldn't help but chide him, "What's the point of shaking your head like that? Let's go back … Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu abruptly stopped mid-sentence. His body remained motionless as if he had frozen in place.
Luther, who was almost soaked in the liquid, couldn't help noticing Lin Sanjiu's strange behavior. "What's wrong? What are you doing? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything. She raised her hand and pointed into the distance. However, her fingertip was pointing upward.
Luther followed her finger in a daze. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The golden sunlight shone through the glass windows on the top floor like molten gold. The floor tiles of the shopping center, the green leaves of the plants, and the metal door handles of the shops all glowed with a white light. It was as if they were responding to the sunlight. Some of the plastic products had already melted during the day and solidified again at night, resulting in a strange appearance. At first glance, it looked like a modern art exhibition.
If it weren't for the murderous temperature, this scene would be quite interesting. But what was wrong?
He took another look and suddenly let out an "Ah!". Only then did he realize what was going on. A look of surprise appeared on his face. "Why is it still fine?"
By "it", he was referring to the tropical forest in the center of the shopping center. It was five stories high.
No matter how tropical it was, there was no plant in the world that could withstand the heat that could even melt plastic. However, the small tropical forest in front of them was still lush and full of life, as if the hyperthermal hell was nothing but an illusion.
In stark contrast, there were trees on the sidewalk, separated by a glass wall.
Every tree's trunk was as black and shriveled as charcoal. Their leaves had already fallen off. When they fell to the ground, they were just small black, shriveled lumps. It was almost impossible to tell what they were. Some of the thinner tree trunks were so dry and brittle that they were broken at the side of the road.
Lin Sanjiu even felt that the tropical plants in the shopping mall seemed to be growing better than before.
Two strange things had happened in a row. Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out what was going on. She thought for a moment and whispered to Luther, "These plants are really strange … Oh right, let's go down and get Marcie to come up and take a look. Three cobblers with their own heads can surpass Zhuge Liang. "
"Sure! Ahem, I don't think there's anything strange about them, "Luther didn't pay any attention to the green plants." Maybe the glass is special and it's blocking the UVA or something. "
"But we can't act rashly."
"Okay, okay, but let me change my clothes first, okay? It's so uncomfortable. "Obviously, Luther's mind was still on his stinky body.
It was very easy to change his clothes. There was no shortage of branded stores in the shopping center. Luther looked around for a while and smiled at Lin Sanjiu. "Do you think I should go to Armani or DG?"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but say, "I hope you can run as fast as you can even when you're wearing a small suit."
"Okay, okay, I got it …" Luther said helplessly as he walked up the stairs.
Lin Sanjiu didn't want to stay alone at the place where the corpse had mysteriously disappeared. She quickly followed after him, "Wait for me!"
Luther stopped at the top of the stairs. He turned around and smiled, "Why? Do you want to search for some clothes? I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You're a pretty girl, so why are you dressed like you're going to practice Taiji? "
"Why is it Taiji —"
Before he could finish his sentence, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept up in mid-air, wrapping around a long black shadow, and attacked the two people on the stairs like lightning.
