This chapter is surprisingly smooth. We are almost at the end, so I suggest that everyone stay up … The only unfortunate thing is that when I started writing at 9: 30 am, I thought that I would have to grind for half a day again, so I drank a cup of coffee. It's Nescafe Expresso. Anyone who has drunk it before would know that it has a high alcohol content … I'm sitting in the dark like an owl. I'm almost done, but I'm not sleepy at all … What should I do? I should just lay down.]
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 easily.
Because Lin Sanjiu was standing in front of a McDonald's.
It had been more than a month since she was almost caught alive 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 already been dyed with a dark greenish hue.
Even so, she did not give up on searching for B.Rabbit and the others.
The coastal area was filled with plastic mannequins. It seemed that Puppeteer had decided to settle down at the pier, so Lin Sanjiu could not go near him. She could only search in circles, moving deeper into the ocean while searching for her companions.
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 ocean, without a nautical map and compass, they would definitely 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 under the scorching sun. It lingered for a long time. 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 hills, Lin Sanjiu stood on the highest hill. She felt a little dizzy and anxious.
She had just counted and realized that she only had three boxes of chocolates left. She had run out of food, but the road ahead was still uncertain.
She climbed to the top of the hill and looked into the distance. She found that about a kilometer away, the terrain seemed to suddenly break. There was only darkness, and nothing could be seen. It was an undersea canyon.
She jumped off the seawall and came to the edge of the broken valley.
Even though it was impossible to find food in the deep sea, Lin Sanjiu had never seen an underwater canyon before. Curious, she crouched at the edge of the canyon 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 coarse rocks and salt sand 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 he was lost, he should have kept walking on flat ground instead of going down the canyon, right?
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She hadn't heard this voice ever since she descended into the new world.
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, ordinary, and even boring past. Lin Sanjiu crouched at 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 wouldn't have gone down there.
Just as she stared at the bottom of the canyon, she suddenly noticed something flashing in the darkness.
It was as if the power connection wasn't working properly. After flashing a few times, 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 felt that she had a mental breakdown because she couldn't handle all the things that happened after the world was destroyed.
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 very far away. However, the row of red "McDonald's" 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.
Her appetite, which had lost all its vigor in the presence of the chocolate juice, suddenly came alive. Waves of hunger assaulted Lin Sanjiu's brain. As she climbed down, she couldn't help thinking about the crispy fried chicken wings she had eaten.
Even for a posthuman, climbing a cliff that was a few thousand meters tall was an extremely difficult task. The knife Lin Sanjiu used to stabilize her body was bent and deformed halfway through the climb. Her fingers were covered in wounds 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 reached 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, she could see the spotless red brick floor, the metallic silver countertops, and the glaring English menu. There was a beautifully colored McDonald's with plump beef and so much vegetable and cheese that one couldn't bite through it. The McDonald's on the billboard looked like a seductive siren.
Lin Sanjiu walked a few steps toward the McDonald's in a daze. She stepped across the soft, muddy sand and stepped into the sea, making a splashing sound.
"Something's wrong, something's 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. Lin Sanjiu immediately smelled the aroma of food. She 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 felt that her disappointment was hilarious. "How can there be food in a restaurant ten thousand meters under the sea?"
However, she still couldn't control her footsteps. She walked around the counter uncontrollably and headed toward 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.
As soon as it was attached, a deafening scream tore through the air. The Defense Doll could not locate the source of the danger and was spinning around crazily, almost turning into a shadow. She was startled and immediately sobered up. She quickly reached out to take it down, jumped off the stage and ran to the door.
The glass door did not 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, only to find that there was no window in this McDonald's. Sunny Baby seemed to be scared out of its wits. Although it was taken down, it continued to cry, which was very annoying.
The red tiles on the floor were wet and slippery. The lights flickered and the surroundings quickly darkened. Soon, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see anything. The most frightening thing was that the floor was slowly tilting. 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 floor tilted more and more, and Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground with a thud. She clutched at the floor with both hands in vain, trying to stabilize herself so that she wouldn't fall. However, there was nothing in her hands except for a wet, slippery floor.
As if sensing that her body was sliding down, the counter suddenly melted and disappeared, clearing the path for her to fall into the kitchen. Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to imagine 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 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, still 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. Everything was quiet. It was as if the strange McDonald's was just a dream.
"It would be great if there was light," Lin Sanjiu thought. She suddenly thought of something and 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.
Under the glistening, flowing silver light, Lin Sanjiu stared at the thing in front of her. She was speechless.
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 gigantic fish's body was above the surface of the water. Blood was gushing out of its dark-colored skin like a fountain, dripping into the seawater beneath its feet.
The most eye-catching thing was the long, lamp-like thing on its lower jaw.
"Miss Lin? Did you kill this deep-sea arowana? "
Behind the giant fish head, in the deep darkness, a voice suddenly rang out.
