In the shadow cast by the tall bookshelf, there were three figures crouching quietly. They were staring in Siri's direction without moving an inch. Their bodies almost melted into the shadow, as if they had become a part of the bookshelves. Even their breathing could not be sensed. They were Lin Sanjiu and the others.
"Well, that's all the rules. You are the fifth batch of readers and also the last batch. When you walk into the bookshelves, I will announce the five books that you need to look for. " Siri's calm voice did not fluctuate at all because of the people in front of her. She spoke almost indifferently, "Now, please enter the library area."
Her words made everyone's heart clench.
Since they had made the decision in a hurry, they were now hiding among the bookshelves opposite Siri. They were less than 20 meters away from the fifth batch of readers. If they decided to head in that direction, they would have to fight at close quarters the moment the "book search" began.
The fifth batch of readers consisted of a man and a woman. After the man heard Siri's words, he turned his head and looked at the bookshelves behind him. The warm orange sunset shone on him through the window. As he moved, his light blonde hair glowed with a dazzling golden light.
However, compared to the golden light, the man's face was even more dazzling.
Silvan looked behind him and turned back to Siri with a smile. "I got it. Thank you. It must have been hard on you, working here alone. "
Siri sat back down expressionlessly and put on her gold-rimmed glasses.
"You don't have to be so polite to her," the woman with dyed flaxen hair next to him said unhappily. "She's just a robot. She won't understand your kindness. Let's hurry up and leave. "
As she said that, she couldn't help but touch Silvan's arm.
Silvan was a tall man. After he heard what the woman said, he lowered his head slightly and looked into her eyes. Then, he said gently, "Okay."
Lin Sanjiu saw it clearly. The woman blushed for a moment, even the tips of her ears. It took a while for the redness to fade.
"You have five minutes left. After five minutes, I will announce the title of the book," Siri said flatly. Silvan grabbed the woman's hand, and the two of them quickly ran to the staircase that led to the east side of the library. Lin Sanjiu and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"That person is the Silvan you were talking about?" As soon as they left, the few of them immediately started whispering to each other. Rena's voice trembled a little, "You didn't tell me that he actually looks so, so..."
She ran out of words. Regardless of whether it was "good-looking" or "handsome", Rena felt that neither was enough to describe even a tenth of the face she had just seen.
"Why did I mention that to Z?" Lin Sanjiu grumbled to herself. Although she also thought that Silvan was very handsome. But was it important whether he looked good or not?
However, even Reno was conquered by Silvan's looks.
"He looks like a nice guy. I hope I don't get into a conflict with him." The youth's conclusion seemed to be completely based on his appearance.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know what to say.
It seemed that these two children were only momentarily stunned, right? After all, they were in a life and death situation, so they should have a clear sense of priorities. As for the whereabouts of the other members of the Munitions Factory team, Lin Sanjiu only thought about it for a split second.
The few of them discussed how they should look for the books, but they didn't have any clue. In the end, they only exchanged information about the Special Items they had on them. Lin Sanjiu had locked all her belongings in her corpse. Naturally, she was the poorest one.
Five minutes passed very quickly. Without any warning, Siri's voice suddenly came from the speaker, "Now, I will announce the names of the five books we are looking for."
"The first book, A History of World Art."
Lin Sanjiu quickly took out a pen and paper that she had prepared earlier and scribbled down the names of the books.
"The second book, A Maiden's Sorrow."
When the siblings heard this, they stood up nervously. Their eyes darted to the bookshelves beside them. What if the books were right beside them?
"The third book, A Detailed Explanation of Dinosaur Fossil Reconstruction Techniques."
Reno, who was flipping through the books one by one, was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly pulled out a book. But when he took a closer look, he realized that the book in his hand was not a book at all. However, when he looked at it carefully, he was disappointed. It turned out to be a book called "A Maiden's Sorrow".
"The fourth book, The Heart-Stealing Consort Runs Away with the Ball."
Lin Sanjiu's fingers froze and she almost crooked a word. [This library has quite a variety of tastes.]
"The fifth book. Lin Sanjiu spoke very fast. When she finished reading the entire list of titles, Lin Sanjiu only had time to memorize one of them. She couldn't be blamed for her slow memorization. Ever since she entered the apocalyptic world, she had not heard any English words for almost three years!
The siblings immediately stopped searching for the book and looked at each other in dismay. They were a little dumbfounded.
Somewhere in the library, there was a faint commotion. It turned into a faint echo and hit the ceiling. Obviously, the posthumans in front of them had encountered the same problem.
"What did she say just now? Should we go and ask Siri … "Before Reno could finish his sentence, Siri's voice rang out again," The title of the book will only be announced once. It will only be announced again when it is confirmed. "
In other words, no matter what, they had to brace themselves and search for that English book with an unusually long title based on their memory.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help recalling Siri's voice when she said the title of the book. She tried to identify some words from her memory. However, even though she managed to piece together a few words, she couldn't be sure that they were correct.
"In any case, didn't we memorize four books? Let's find these four books first, "Rena said hurriedly. Rena said hurriedly. Then, she turned around and started reading the books that she had just checked.
Lin Sanjiu sighed. She silently made two copies of the book titles and handed them to the siblings. Each of the bookshelves was very tall. They were at least 15 meters long and there were at least 20 levels from top to bottom. Every level was filled to the brim with books. The top of the bookshelves almost touched the ceiling.
"There are so many books..."
"Please start searching for the books," Siri said. (To be continued.)
