When it comes to Guan Hailian, there are very few reactions. Maybe his plot has always been mediocre? Recently, his update time has been getting late. It really affects me … While no one is around, I can grumble a little.]
In a daze, Lin Sanjiu's ears kept ringing with the rustling sound. It was a constant assault on her overtired mind. Even though she was half-awake, she felt as if she was in a car from the jolting sensation of her body …
A bag of butter biscuits was sitting at the top of a box. It was vibrating along with the bus, just like Lin Sanjiu. Suddenly, a furry paw reached out from the back of the box. It seemed to be trying to reach for the bag of butter biscuits. However, the bus shook a little. The rabbit's paw pushed the bag and it fell to the ground. "Ah!"
The culprit poked its head out and met Lin Sanjiu's eyes.
"You … you're awake? Haha … "Brown-Haired Rabbit laughed dryly.
Lin Sanjiu removed the biscuit from her face. She still felt a little dizzy. She slowly got up and looked around.
She was lying on the aisle of the bus. Someone had thoughtfully placed a towel under her. Probably to make space for herself, there were two tall boxes of food stacked on both sides. B.Rabbit was currently lying on one of the boxes on the top.
"Xiao Jiu? You're awake? "
Hu Changzai's voice came from the driver's seat. He looked back and saw that Lin Sanjiu had indeed sat up. His face immediately lit up, "That's great! I've been worried sick!"
At this moment, her memories slowly flowed into her mind, filling up her dry brain.
Fontaine was killed by 12.
That first thought gripped her heart tightly.
No one expected her to be a Consular Officer. Now, not only did Lin Sanjiu lose the chance to get a visa, she also lost a friend.
12 took advantage of the fact that Oasis was defenseless after the defeat of the five officers and escaped. In order to keep herself from disappearing due to the distance, Marcie chased after him. Lin Sanjiu didn't know where they were now. "How is Marcie? Did Luther wake up? "
"How long have I been asleep?" When Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was dry.
Hu Changzai looked at her uneasily through the rearview mirror and said with some lingering fear, "It's been a whole week. If not for your breathing and heartbeat being normal, I would have thought that you were dead … "
A week? Lin Sanjiu was startled. She tried to stand up, but her legs were wobbly and she almost fell.
"It's been so long? Marcie, she — "
Hu Changzai, who had expected her to ask this question, could not help but sigh softly. "After you fainted, we had a discussion and drove in the direction that Marcie left. But after walking for such a long time, we haven't even seen Marcie's shadow. I think they either got lost, or they changed direction halfway … "
In other words, they were separated from Marcie.
Lin Sanjiu felt a headache coming on.
Amidst the pain and confusion, her intense emotions seemed to recede a little. Anxiety, worry, and regret were vaguely surging up and down in her mind. Instead, it was a self-comforting thought that became clearer and clearer. "No news might be the best news …"
Lin Sanjiu stood up straight and looked around the carriage. She had a complicated feeling in her heart. She had stayed in the oasis for less than two weeks, but the people who had accompanied her were no longer with her. Instead, some new faces became her companions.
Eventually, B.Rabbit tore open the packet of biscuits. With a crisp crunching sound, one side of its face bulged into a ball.
Lin Sanjiu stared at it and frowned. She thought for a while and asked, "What about Professor Bai and Hai Tianqing? Why is this rabbit the only one here? "
"Your truck is being driven by Cadre Hai. As for Professor Bai … After you fainted, we found more than twenty survivors who had escaped from the duoluozhong's hands. Professor Bai said that since she did something wrong, she should bear the consequences. So, she stayed with Xu Xiaoyang and planned to rebuild a shelter for humans. But this time, without the help of the duoluozhong's technology, I think it's going to be tough … "Hu Changzai couldn't help sighing. "Even though it's your stuff, I made the decision to leave some food for them. I'm sorry."
Speaking of food, Lin Sanjiu looked at B.Rabbit. For some reason, B.Rabbit looked at Lin Sanjiu.
When B.Rabbit met Lin Sanjiu's gaze, it raised its head with an inexplicable sense of pride, "Even though you guys are a little rough, you guys are quite loyal. Besides, I'm worried about you because you're weak, so I stayed — "
Hu Changzai didn't give it any face, "That's a lie. It's just a rabbit. Even though it's very capable, there's always someone better than it. Who knows when it will be captured and eaten … For safety reasons, it followed us. Besides, it has a good relationship with Cadre Hai. "
Even though Lin Sanjiu had just experienced a life and death ordeal, she still felt like laughing when she saw B.Rabbit's angry and embarrassed expression.
However, she had already woken up, so why was the rustling sound still ringing in her ears …
She looked out of the window and couldn't help being stunned. She couldn't even complete her sentence, "This, this is …"
She couldn't see it clearly because the window was filled with white steam that clung to the outside of the window. Only when she paid attention would she notice that there were many tiny water droplets hitting the window, forming a thin stream that flowed into the window frame.
Lin Sanjiu touched the window in disbelief. The window was much hotter than usual, "It's raining?"
"That's right." Brown Rabbit answered her. The latter jumped to the ground and bit into the packet of flatbread. As he ate, he replied, "It has been raining for a few days. We're tired of looking at it. The rainwater is boiling hot and we can't drink it. It smells like sulfur … We don't dare to drive fast, and the windshield wipers are almost worn out. How annoying! "
Lin Sanjiu grunted in response. She continued to stare at the rain for a while with curiosity. After a long time, she even opened the window. Just as B.Rabbit had said, the temperature of the rainwater was probably the temperature of water that had just boiled. In the past, it would have been scalding. However, when Lin Sanjiu touched her hand, she only felt warm and comfortable.
The sulfur smell was really strong …
"Huh?
Wait, isn't this a hot spring? "
Ever since the descent of Hyperthermal Hell, Lin Sanjiu, who had been sweating every day and had not had a proper bath, suddenly felt an itch in her heart. For the past two months, she had turned into a wild boar. Layers of sand and dust had formed on her skin, making it extremely rough to the touch.
She immediately asked Hu Changzai to stop the car and called for Hai Tianqing's truck. Then, she urged the two humans and B.Rabbit to follow her to look for a bucket.
Although buckets seemed to be everywhere, it was much harder to find one than expected, especially since most of the plastic products were deformed by the high temperature. Lin Sanjiu rolled up her sleeves and found a spot to dig a hole that was about half a person's height. Then, she covered the bottom and the sides of the hole with a piece of cloth and stones to prevent water from leaking. The rain was not light. After a while, the hole was filled with steaming hot spring water.
Even though the water wasn't very clean, it looked extravagant enough.
For a man, there was no need to dig a hole. Hot showers would fall from the sky. Hence, Lin Sanjiu's interest was piqued. After they walked far away, Lin Sanjiu suddenly grabbed B.Rabbit and pushed him into the water. She smiled and said, "Come, you should enjoy it too!" After saying that, she took off her coat and jumped into the pool.
B.Rabbit let out a whoosh and popped his head out of the water. He shouted angrily, "Rabbits don't bathe!"
When he turned his head, he saw Lin Sanjiu's bare shoulder above the water surface. Lin Sanjiu could vaguely see him through the white mist. He smacked his lips awkwardly and turned his head to play with his ears, "... I'm actually a male rabbit."
Lin Sanjiu looked at him, "So what? You're still a rabbit."
Even if it could speak, it had a furry appearance that made it impossible for people to be shy about it!
"By the way, what's going on with you? Why can a rabbit talk and have abilities? "Lin Sanjiu asked nonchalantly as she splashed water on herself.
"Just look at how cute I am. I used to be a pet rabbit, and it was a famous breed." B.Rabbit seemed to have recalled the past and forgot about the difference between a man and a woman. He dragged his voice and said, "Even though my previous master was annoying and always restricted my freedom, he still loved me. After the temperature rose a few days, I remember that there was nothing in the house. There was no water or food … Even though he was very weak, he still went out to look for food. He only came back a whole day later. He was covered in wounds. Other than a bowl of instant noodles, he also had a bunch of grass. "
After pausing for a while, B.Rabbit continued with a sad tone, "... Now that I think about it, it's incredible that there was grass at that time. However, I was still a silly rabbit at that time. I ate the grass in a few bites and didn't think much about it. Ever since I ate that grass, I gradually gained intelligence and gained abilities … My master, on the other hand, couldn't endure it and died. "
[That grass must be a Special Item from the new world, right?] Lin Sanjiu pictured her master's appearance in her mind. She felt that he must be very gentle. She sighed softly and patted B.Rabbit's head comfortingly.
B.Rabbit said solemnly, "Now you know that I am also a rabbit with a name. You can just call me 'daddy' from now on. "
The hand on its head immediately pushed it into the water.
After playing with the rabbit for a while, Lin Sanjiu was splashed by its long ears until her face was covered in water. She wasn't sure if it was because she had been playing with the rabbit for a while or because the bath was very comfortable, but she was in a good mood. When Lin Sanjiu saw that she was almost done, and she was starving after sleeping for a week, she reluctantly climbed out of the puddle and changed into the clean clothes that she had prepared earlier.
The boiling hot rain continued to pour down from the sky, as if to make up for the previous drought. Large clouds of white fog were stirred up on the ground and slowly floated into the air. The endless new fog mixed with the previous fog, clouding the world and blurring one's vision.
"Hey, Hu Changzai, are you guys done bathing? Where are you? We are going over, okay? "Lin Sanjiu shouted into the distance. "Hurry up and put on your clothes!"
Hu Changzai's panicked reply came from afar.
"I told you that I'm a male rabbit … I think it's only natural for them to be like this," B.Rabbit muttered.
After getting their bearings, the human and B.Rabbit walked in the direction where Hu Changzai's voice came from.
The white fog was so thick that they couldn't see the path in front of them. It was a little difficult to walk.
But, it shouldn't have taken them more than twenty minutes to reach their destination, right?
Lin Sanjiu shouted a few times, but she didn't get a reply. She stopped and her expression turned serious.
B.Rabbit also felt that something was off, "That's weird … Didn't the voice come from this direction? Listen, it's not that far. "
The human and B.Rabbit looked at each other and secretly raised their guard.
Just as they were about to take a step forward, the crisp sound of a gong broke the silence in the world of white fog. It startled them. The sound of the gong seemed to be coming from every direction. Then, a passionate voice rang out from nowhere, "Good afternoon, everyone!"
At this moment, from the fog not far from them, more people walked over from different directions. If it weren't for the fact that the two people closest to them seemed even more panicked than Lin Sanjiu and B.Rabbit, Lin Sanjiu would have thrown a punch at them already. The two people were whispering to each other, and their voices were filled with uneasiness.
More and more people were gathering in the white fog. The indescribably strange atmosphere was slowly becoming oppressive. Just when Lin Sanjiu grabbed B.Rabbit and was about to leave, the loud voice spoke again, "Is everyone here? I'm very happy to welcome all of you to the year-end welcoming event, the Red and White Tournament! "
