[The main message will be ready soon. I accidentally skipped work for two days. I'm sorry, everyone.]
Puppeteer once said that if Lin Sanjiu was smart, she would hope that she would starve to death in the depths of the ocean. However, it seemed that this was not going to happen.
This was because Lin Sanjiu was standing in front of a McDonald's.
It had been more than a month since she was almost captured by Puppeteer.
During this month, Lin Sanjiu had not had a good night's sleep. She did not have any fresh water, so she had to rely on coffee to survive. Her nerves were in a state of exhaustion due to lack of sleep and forced excitement. After a month, the area under her eyes had been dyed with a dark greenish hue.
Even so, she did not give up on searching for B.Rabbit and the others.
The area near the sea was filled with plastic models. It seemed that Puppeteer had decided to settle down at the pier, so Lin Sanjiu could not get close to him. She could only circle around and search for her companions as she went deeper into the sea.
However, she found nothing.
Not only that, Lin Sanjiu realized that she was lost.
Actually, it was normal to get lost. If anyone was thrown into the middle of the vast ocean, without a nautical map or compass, they would lose their way. Lin Sanjiu had long lost her sense of land, and this was a fatal problem.
Without seawater, the seabed continent gave off a strange stench that lingered for a long time under the scorching sun. It did not take long for the seabed plain to be occupied by a series of hills. It looked like a forest of hills. After climbing more than half of the sea mound, Lin Sanjiu stood on top of the highest mound. She was in a daze and began to worry.
She had counted the number of chocolates she had. She only had three boxes left. She had run out of food, but the path ahead was still uncertain.
She climbed to the top of the hill and looked into the distance. About a thousand meters away, the terrain seemed to have broken off. She could not see anything but darkness. She was looking at an underwater canyon.
She jumped down from the hill and came to the edge of the canyon.
Even though it was impossible to find food in the deep sea, Lin Sanjiu had never seen an underwater canyon before. Curious, she crouched on the edge and looked down.
The canyon was so close that it was shocking to see. The bottom of the ocean turned into a cliff. They fell for thousands of meters abruptly without any pause before they plunged into the gloomy bottom of the valley. The starlight of the night couldn't shine into the canyon at all. As far as the eye could see, there was only endless darkness and steep cliffs at sharp angles.
Anyone who still wanted to go down after seeing such a landscape must be crazy.
Lin Sanjiu cursed herself inwardly. She struggled to hold onto a protruding rock and climbed down carefully. The rough rocks and salt rubbed against her palms. If she hadn't gone through physical enhancement, this cliff, which even professional rock climbers wouldn't dare to climb, would have become her burial ground.
Why didn't he turn around just now? She asked herself a little regretfully.
Even if they were lost, if they kept walking on flat ground, it would be more hopeful than going down the canyon, right?
She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. Ever since the arrival of the new world, she had almost never heard this voice again.
It was the sound of water.
It sounded like the slow sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Lin Sanjiu crouched down and looked at the endless darkness. She tried to picture the appearance of the sea in her mind. Even though most of the world had died, there was still water at the bottom of the ocean. It was still alive.
Just like humans.
The sound of the waves reminded her of the peaceful and boring past. Lin Sanjiu crouched on the edge of the cliff and listened to the sound of the waves for a long time.
Of course, if that was the case, she would never go down there.
Just as she was staring at the bottom of the canyon, she suddenly saw something flash in the darkness.
It was as if the power supply was not working properly. After a few flashes, it finally lit up. The bright yellow light looked so familiar. It cast a circle of light in the shape of an "M" in the darkness.
McDonald's.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu thought she had a mental breakdown because she couldn't handle all the things that happened after the destruction of the world.
Otherwise, why would there be a McDonald's signboard at the bottom of the ocean that was ten thousand meters deep when the world was destroyed?
"No, it's not just a signboard." Lin Sanjiu gaped as she stared at the side of the "M" sign. There were two more flashes. She could even hear the sizzling sound of the electric current flowing through the lamp. Then, a brightly lit McDonald's restaurant appeared in the dark.
The orange light illuminated the entrance hall. She couldn't see it clearly because she was too far away, but the red "McDonald's" sign was clearly imprinted in her retina.
Lin Sanjiu, who had been drinking coffee for a month, barely had a wink of sleep. Even though she knew something was wrong, she didn't think too much about it. She stepped on a rock and climbed down to the bottom of the ravine.
Lin Sanjiu's appetite, which had lost all its vigor in the presence of the chocolate juice, suddenly came alive. Waves of hunger pounded at Lin Sanjiu's brain. As she climbed, she couldn't help thinking about the crispy fried spicy chicken wings.
Even for a posthuman, climbing a cliff that was a few thousand meters tall was an extremely difficult task. The knife that Lin Sanjiu used to stabilize her body was bent and deformed halfway. Her fingers were covered in cuts and salt. The pain was so excruciating that it went all the way to her heart. When she reached the second half of the cliff, she almost rolled down. Without the protection of her singlet, she was already covered in cuts and bruises when she got up.
However, she finally made it to the bottom of the canyon.
The warm McDonald's restaurant was about two hundred meters away from her. It was like a beautiful dream.
Through the clean glass door, Lin Sanjiu could see the spotless red brick floor, the metallic silver countertop, and the glaring menu in English. There was a big McDonald's with a beautiful color. The beef was plump and the vegetable cheese was so thick that one couldn't bite through it. It was like a seductive siren.
Lin Sanjiu walked a few steps toward it in a daze. She stepped across the soft, muddy sand and stepped into the sea, making a splashing sound.
"Something is wrong. Something is really wrong. There can't be a McDonald's restaurant here that is clean and has its lights on."
"Then what did I see with my own eyes?"
She didn't need to slap herself. The pain from the numerous small wounds on her body told her that she was very clear-headed.
When the glass door sensed that someone was approaching, it opened silently. The aroma of food assaulted her nostrils. Lin Sanjiu walked into the restaurant as if she was sleepwalking.
The glass door closed behind her.
Lin Sanjiu looked around in a daze. There was no one in the restaurant. She could only smell the aroma of food coming from the kitchen. She called out her mouthpiece and cautiously approached the counter.
She couldn't see anything when she looked back. The fries machine was also empty. Lin Sanjiu was disappointed. "How can there be food in a restaurant that is ten thousand meters under the sea?"
However, she still couldn't control her footsteps. She walked around the counter and was about to walk to the kitchen.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from somewhere. It was very low and seemed to come from somewhere far behind the kitchen.
Lin Sanjiu stopped in her tracks. She cocked her head to the side and listened. There was no sound again. The situation was too strange. She felt that her mind was in a daze and it was not suitable for her to act rashly. Therefore, she hesitated for a moment and did not walk into the kitchen. Instead, she climbed up to the counter and stuck the [Defense Version Teru Teru Doll] on the roof.
The moment she stuck the [Defense Version Teru Dolly] on the roof, a deafening screech pierced through the air. The [Defense Version Teru Dolly] couldn't locate the source of danger and was spinning around crazily. Startled, Lin Sanjiu immediately regained her senses. She quickly took the [Defense Version Teru Dolly] down and ran to the door.
The glass door didn't budge.
"What's going on here?"
Even after Lin Sanjiu smashed the seemingly fragile glass door several times with all her might, there was not a single crack on it. She anxiously looked for a window and realized that the McDonald's didn't have one. Unfortunately, the [Teru Teru Dolly] seemed to be scared out of its wits. Even though it was taken down, it continued to wail incessantly. It was very frustrating.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know when, but the red tiles on the floor became slippery and sticky. The lights flickered, and the surroundings quickly darkened. Soon, she couldn't see anything. The most frightening thing was that the floor started to tilt slowly. After a while, it became a steep slope. It was as if someone had lifted the entire restaurant and wanted Lin Sanjiu to slide down the floor into the kitchen.
The tilt of the floor became more and more severe. Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground with a thud. She grabbed the floor with both hands in vain, trying to stabilize her body. However, there was nothing but slippery and slippery floor.
As if sensing that her body was slipping, the counter suddenly melted and disappeared, clearing the path for her to fall into the kitchen. Lin Sanjiu didn't even dare to think about what was in there.
Just as she was struggling with all her might, the dining room suddenly froze.
The floor shook violently for a few times before it slowly leveled out. Even though she couldn't see anything in the darkness, she suddenly felt a gust of sea breeze coming from the direction of the door. It seemed that the door had opened. Everything happened as suddenly as it came. Lin Sanjiu lay on the floor in a daze. Suddenly, a wave of water gushed out from behind her. She couldn't help but be swept out of the door by the fishy wave.
With a splash, she fell headfirst into the sea outside.
Lin Sanjiu quickly got up on all fours. There was no light around, so she had no idea what had just happened. It was so quiet around her that it was as if the strange McDonald's was just a dream.
"If only there was light," Lin Sanjiu thought. She suddenly thought of something and quickly took out a card. A silver light flashed in her hand, and everything within a few meters of her was instantly dyed white. It was the [Ability Polishing Agent] that she found on Ren Nan's body.
Under the glistening, flowing silver light, Lin Sanjiu stared at the thing in front of her dumbfounded. She couldn't say a word.
It was a gigantic fish.
A pair of white, pupil-less eyes stared straight at Lin Sanjiu. Its mouth, which was as long as a train carriage, was half-opened. A large number of jagged fangs protruded from its mouth like a dense forest. Half of the giant fish's body was exposed on the surface of the water. Blood was gurgling out of the dark-colored fish skin, like countless small fountains, dripping into the seawater under their feet.
The most eye-catching thing was the long, lamp-like thing on its lower jaw.
"Miss Lin? Are you the one who killed this deep-sea arowana? "
A voice suddenly rang out from the darkness behind the gigantic fish's head.
