"I have just opened the document, so you guys should go to sleep … By the way, I haven't been able to focus on my studies lately, so I started reading standcom …"
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, scorching everything in the world. As soon as they got out of the car, the scorching heat made it hard for them to breathe. There was still wind in the Hyperthermal Hell, but it was worse than nothing. Every gust of wind was like a pot of red-hot coal, splashing onto their faces.
After they got out of the car, Luther and Marcie frowned and covered their mouths and noses. Ever since all the green plants and trees died, the soil had all turned into sand under the high temperature. The thick yellow sand was blown around by the wind, and it raged between heaven and earth. Their eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with sand, so they couldn't even open their eyes. They could only squint to see.
When Marcie opened her mouth, she choked on the yellow sand and coughed a few times. She forced herself to speak, "Are you sure? I was at the back just now, but I didn't notice there was a car behind us. "
When Lin Sanjiu got out of the car, she grabbed a T-shirt and used it as a mask. She was in a slightly better condition than the other two. The hot sand kept hitting her exposed skin. Lin Sanjiu endured the pain and said, "I'm sure. That car has been following us all the way. But because the sand is too thick and it is too far away, we can only see it from time to time … Wait, it's here! "
Just as she finished her sentence, a cloud of dust rose not far away. A Citroën, so dirty that its color couldn't be identified, rushed out from the rolling yellow sand.
Unexpectedly, when the three big cars in front of them stopped and Lin Sanjiu and the others were standing in the middle of the road, the Citroën suddenly braked and turned around. It seemed like it was going to run away.
However, it couldn't cover such a short distance. Lin Sanjiu ran a few steps and sped up. Before the Citroën could turn around, Lin Sanjiu jumped onto the front of the car like a leopard.
As the front of the car sank, the Citroën seemed to have panicked. The tires screeched shrilly. Lin Sanjiu could vaguely hear the person inside shouting something. She was shaken by the car. She quickly steadied herself and leaned against the front of the car. She shouted into the car, "Get out!"
In the blink of an eye, Luther and Marcie had already rushed forward and surrounded Citroen.
The car stopped and the engine died.
Through the dirty windshield, Lin Sanjiu could only vaguely see a person sitting inside. She couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, young or old. She couldn't figure out how that person could drive under such conditions. She waited for a while, then impatiently knocked on the windshield with her baton and signaled the driver to get out of the car again.
If she was not mistaken, the car had been following them from the shopping center.
The door of the driver's seat opened. A man in a wrinkled suit stepped out of the car while wiping the sweat off his forehead.
The man looked like he was in his twenties. He wasn't tall, and his skin was coarse and dark. He had a round, fleshy face, and his white shirt was a dirty yellowish-black. Lin Sanjiu didn't know why, but she had a feeling that he would look like a field mouse if he had a mustache. The suit he was wearing seemed to be made of good material, but it seemed to be ill-fitting. The trousers were too long and rolled up high, revealing the gray high-waisted socks inside.
"Who are you? Why are you following us? "Marcie asked with a frown.
The man who looked like a field mouse turned his small black eyes in panic. He looked at the three of them and stammered, "I, I didn't do it on purpose."
Luther immediately snorted. "Then, did you accidentally follow us all the way?"
Lin Sanjiu jumped down from the car and stood in front of the car with her baton in her hand.
The man seemed to be very afraid of Lin Sanjiu. When she got out of the car, he immediately moved a few steps away from her. At the same time, he explained hurriedly, "No, no, listen to me. It's like this … I've known you guys for a long time. I don't mean any harm. I'm a medical equipment salesman. That night, I had a business meeting with my client. On the way back, the power went out and we were stuck at the shopping center … "
"Get to the point!" Marcie's temper had probably been tortured by the sandstorm outside, so she yelled in a harsh tone.
"Ah … Yes, yes. Anyway, we were stuck in the shopping center and didn't dare to get out of the car. We relied on a box of drinks in the car for two days … I saw you guys a few times, going in and out. You guys seem to have adapted very quickly. That's amazing!" The man said and didn't forget to flatter them. Seeing that no one responded, he spat out the sand in his mouth and continued, "Oh, one night, a good-looking woman came and said that she had water at her house. She asked my client to get out of the car and get some water from her. I wasn't paying attention for a while, and my client was gone! That woman went to the next car! "
The three of them froze. It seemed that Kong Yun did not let the living people on the street go.
The man looked at their faces and continued to say tentatively, "I didn't dare to stay in the car, so I ran to the convenience store across the road. At least I survived until now … When I saw you guys leave this morning, I was scared too. That's why I followed you …"
"What's your name?" Luther was getting a little impatient because this person kept on and on.
"My name is Tian Minbo. People call me Vole," the man answered with a smile.
Lin Sanjiu chuckled inwardly, but her expression did not change. She asked with a serious expression, "What do you want from following us?"
Vole was stunned and quickly said, "I don't have any bad intentions. I really don't … I have food and drinks in my car. I just want to find a companion to go with me … Besides, I also have something to remind you of."
"What is it?"
"You guys have been driving for a while, right?" As Vole spoke, his gaze lingered on the cars. "I advise you not to drive for now. We will talk about it at night."
"Why?" Luther frowned as he looked around. The place where they stopped wasn't very comfortable. It used to be a park in the center of the city, a vast expanse of green forest. It could be said to be the most pleasant place in the city. However, after a month, the park had completely disappeared. The only thing that was left was a sky full of sand and dried up tree shells that were blown into the air by the wind. Lin Sanjiu could vaguely see a few duoluozhongs lingering on the horizon.
The sky was a hopeless, thick yellow, accompanied by the scorching sun.
"The weather is too hot. If we continue driving, the engine will burn out. Believe me, I have already reimbursed a car. It was a Mercedes-Benz, but it still broke down! It almost caught on fire! Not to mention your trucks and buses … "Vole wiped the sand off his face and revealed a sincere expression. "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can touch the engine."
When Lin Sanjiu heard this, she suddenly sighed and stopped Marcie, who was about to leave, "You don't have to go. It's true. His Citroën burned my hand just now. "
When Vole heard that, he immediately howled and turned around to cover the front of the car. When the cover was opened, white smoke with a burning smell floated up and was instantly blown away by the wind. Vole fiddled with the engine for a while nervously. He raised his head with a fearful expression and said, "That was close. I almost died."
The three of them looked at each other helplessly. If the Citroën was about to die, then their bus must be in even more danger. It seemed that they could only stay here with Vole and wait for the engine to cool down before leaving. However, Lin Sanjiu was very resistant to her surroundings.
It was because the surroundings were too empty. After the Central Park, which covered an area of several thousand square meters, was barren, their line of sight was unobstructed. If there was any danger, they wouldn't even have a place to hide.
Marcie sighed, "Looks like we have to wait..."
"Yeah, yeah. Sigh, it's too hot outside. It's not a good place to talk. Why don't you get in the car and we can have a good chat? Let's be friends! " Seeing that the three of them were convinced, Vole opened the car door eagerly. He even took out a bottle of water and handed it to Marcie. "I don't have a destination. I just want to find a companion... Where are you guys going? If you don't mind, let me go with you? "
The three of them looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
After the incident with Kong Yun, they had to be more careful. However, they couldn't give up eating for fear of choking. They still had to deal with other people. When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she said, "I can let you go with us, but first, you have to tell me, what is your ability?"
Vole's mouth immediately formed an "O" shape.
"Don't tell me that you still don't know about evolved abilities after a month?" Lin Sanjiu deliberately put on a cold face. There was a threatening tone in her voice, "If I don't know about you, how would I dare to team up with you?"
Even though that was what Vole said, Luther and Marcie looked at each other. They seemed to be in a dilemma. If Vole really didn't want to reveal his ability, it wouldn't be wrong...
Unexpectedly, Vole nodded without much hesitation, "So, you guys already know about it... Alright, let me show you."
As he said that, he took out a cell phone from his pocket. The surface of the cell phone was a cheap plastic shell. It looked like a knockoff. Vole pressed a few buttons on the cell phone and turned the screen to the three of them. On the screen was a call interface. The caller was 110.
"This cell phone is my ability. 110 is the only number I can call at the moment. If I am attacked, I just need to dial 110. Within five to ten seconds, all attacks will be ineffective against me... Of course, the activation of the ability will be much faster. "Vole looked a little timid. He asked again," Is this okay? "
Just as Lin Sanjiu was frowning and thinking, Marcie, who was beside her, took a step forward and turned to look at her. "I think this is enough, right, Lil Jiu?"
Then, she extended a hand to Vole and smiled, "We will have to help each other in the future."
