[Main text is almost done. Recently, I have been possessed by O.J. Simpson. One doughnut a day is just around the corner.]
Lin Sanjiu's third basic ability that she had suddenly gained last night came at the right time.
In the dark, Lin Sanjiu dodged a kitchen knife that was thrown from the staff room. She thanked the heavens in her heart. If it weren't for the physical enhancement, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't have been able to dodge Wang Sisi's kitchen knife, let alone Green Vine's unpredictable attack.
The kitchen knife landed on the ground not far away with a clang. Taking advantage of Wang Sisi's missed attack, Lin Sanjiu quickly jumped back and slammed the door shut, blocking Wang Sisi's attack. It was only then that she heard a dragging sound from the other end of the door. Then, she heard Luther and Marcie's muffled voices.
Even though they were separated by two doors, Marcie couldn't hide the anxiety in her voice, "Xiaojiu, are you alright? Hurry up and leave. We can't go in without the key! "
"I'm fine! I'm already out! "Lin Sanjiu quickly replied. "The mummy pulled out the knife from her mouth and threw it at me, but I'm not hurt!"
Wang Sisi howled angrily. Lin Sanjiu immediately felt the door she was leaning on shake as if it was being hit by something. Lin Sanjiu guessed that it was Wang Sisi's mouth. She quickly retreated a few steps from the door and locked it again with the key. When she heard Wang Sisi's indignant scream, Lin Sanjiu took out a lighter from her pocket and lit it up.
Ever since she gained the physical enhancement, her vision in the dark had improved significantly. Even without light, she could still see 60% to 70% clearly. She didn't have to look for a light source like a blind moth anymore.
However, it was also because of this that she didn't have time to check her surroundings as she was too focused on getting back to the supermarket. She just walked in when she saw a door and saw Wang Sisi's shriveled face.
Since she couldn't go back anytime soon, she decided to use the light from her lighter to survey the terrain. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help holding her breath as she looked around.
About ten steps away from her, there were rows of shelves that were as tall as two people. These shelves were obviously different from the ones in the supermarket. They almost touched the ceiling. Every shelf was filled with well-packaged boxes. Lin Sanjiu could tell that most of them were food and beverages.
She suppressed her excitement and jogged to the shelves. She couldn't help but touch the boxes of mineral water.
Last night, after she evolved her ability, the three of them went back to the supermarket and ordered all the food and water in the supermarket. After all, after a round of looting, although there were still a lot of goods in the supermarket, after a few days of eating and drinking, the remaining goods could only last for two weeks.
"I was wondering why we couldn't find the warehouse …" Lin Sanjiu's eyes sparkled as she laughed. She cursed under her breath, "So it was hidden here. There's a mummy guarding the door for you guys, huh?"
Looks like I have to find a way to store all the items in the warehouse. by. "
There were bottles of [Source of Life] wrapped in pink plastic shells. They glowed silently under the light from the lighter. Looking at the shelf full of mineral water, Lin Sanjiu, who was feeling thirsty, opened one of the boxes and took out a bottle to drink.
At this moment, Marcie and Luther's voices came from the other end of the staff room, "Xiaojiu, how are you now? Can you think of a way to come back? "
"I'm fine! I found the warehouse in this supermarket … "Lin Sanjiu replied. She sat at the entrance of the staff room and wanted to rest. There was a strong confidence in her voice.
"I will definitely think of a way to go back. Don't worry."
Lin Sanjiu heard a few muffled voices from the other end of the staff room. It seemed that the two of them had given her a few instructions. After that, there was no more sound.
Lin Sanjiu flicked the lighter off, and the warehouse returned to silence and darkness.
'Wang Sisi is probably thinking of a plan behind the door, right?' Lin Sanjiu thought to herself as she drank a mouthful of water and felt the cool liquid flowing down her throat. 'I really can't underestimate this little mummy.' Lin Sanjiu had caused quite a commotion when she opened the door with her key. However, Wang Sisi held his breath and did not make a single sound. Lin Sanjiu did not expect that she had opened the back door of the staff room. If it wasn't for the putrid smell of a corpse that alerted Lin Sanjiu, she might not have been able to dodge Wang Sisi's attack.
Right now, there were two roads blocking her way back to the supermarket. In the lobby, there was a strange and unpredictable plant forest. In the staff corridor, she had to pass through Wang Sisi.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Sanjiu finally made up her mind. She stood up silently in the darkness and placed her lighter, water bottle and other miscellaneous items aside. Then, she rubbed her hands and let out a sigh of relief.
'It's time to see how powerful this enhancement is.'
Lin Sanjiu inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it to the right. The metal lock made a soft sound.
Her voice was shockingly loud in the absolute silence of the room, so it was impossible for Wang Sisi not to hear it. Then, as if to prove her guess, there was a series of low growling sounds in the room. Lin Sanjiu could feel something approaching from behind the door.
She didn't say anything. She just quietly turned the doorknob, and the door slowly slid open the width of a person.
The thick darkness remained silent. Even the air seemed to have stopped moving.
In the blink of an eye, a slender black shadow suddenly shot out from the gap of the door. It went straight for the back of the doorknob. The speed was too fast. Even with the enhancement, Lin Sanjiu would not be able to dodge it.
However, this strike that was almost certain to succeed still missed.
"Huh?" Wang Sisi, who was in the room, spoke again after a long time. She used her mouthpiece to sweep around the door and found that Lin Sanjiu had vanished into thin air. She was nowhere to be found.
Wang Sisi hesitated for a moment. Then, she cautiously took two steps toward the door. A sweet child's voice came from her mouthpiece, "Sis, where are you? I don't want to fight with you. Can you let me go? "
No one answered her. The door was ajar, and it was still pitch-black.
There was no sign of Lin Sanjiu. There was no sound either. It was as if no one had ever been there.
A withered hand that didn't look like a human reached out from the gap of the door. It seemed like it wanted to push the door open, but it paused and put it down again. After a while, a horrifying thing squeezed its way out from the gap of the door. It was Wang Sisi.
After a few days, it had become even more shriveled. Like the security guard, its skin had piled up. Because of Luther's kick, there was a deep dent in its chest. Even the last bit of its human form had disappeared. The gap of the door wasn't big, but it was enough for Wang Sisi.
"Sis, sis, I'm out. Please don't hurt me, okay? I just want to go home and look for my mother … "Its two snow-white eyes scanned the warehouse, but there was no sign of Lin Sanjiu.
Its mouthpiece waved anxiously in the air. It could smell the blood of a living person in the air, but it didn't know where it came from. Wang Sisi, who hadn't eaten for a few days, felt impulsive and agitated. The child's voice sounded like it was about to cry, "Sis, if you don't want to come out, I'll take that as a yes. Sisi is leaving now. She's going home … "
While the little girl's voice was still echoing in the darkness, its mouthpiece was already flying toward the back of the door. This was the only place where a person could hide!
The metallic mouthpiece pierced through the air.
"… Are you going to suck your mother dry as well?" A faint, mocking voice rang out from above.
Wang Sisi was startled and quickly raised her head. Before it could retract its mouthpiece from behind the door, a black figure quickly pounced on it. Using the momentum, the black figure leaped backward and clamped the mouthpiece with a loud bang. Before Wang Sisi could even scream, a white light flashed on its head. A chef's knife had already pierced through its head. Suddenly, Wang Sisi's body and mouthparts lost their support and fell to the ground with a thud.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the mummy on the ground was motionless. She had been squatting by the narrow door and maintaining absolute silence. She even had to jump down from the top of the door and wait for an opportunity to attack. It was indeed very difficult. Before her arrival in the new world, she had never imagined that she could do something like a ninja.
Pinching her nose, Lin Sanjiu cautiously walked past the mummy and opened the other door of the staff room.
When the door opened, the silvery glow of the Ability Polishing Agent spilled out like moonlight, illuminating Lin Sanjiu's entire body. The shelf blocking the door had been pushed open by the other two people. Luther and Marcie, one standing and the other sitting, were waiting for her quietly.
"Welcome back," Luther said with a grin as he leaned against the wall with the Ability Polishing Agent in one hand.
