The young girl's tender and springy flesh sank deeply into Ren Nan's mouth, and the blood that smelled of rust dyed his chin red. If Ren Nan exerted a little more force, Lin Sanjiu's fragile life would vanish from this world forever.
However, Ren Nan did not move. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat the good seed in front of him, but he couldn't move. There was a chef's knife stabbed deep into the back of his head, all the way to the hilt.
There was still a trace of excitement in Ren Nan's snow-white eyes. Even in death, he couldn't understand why Lin Sanjiu's empty hands struggled in the air and he died just like that.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu could only hear her heart beating like a drum. "Thump, thump, thump." She endured the pain in her neck and pushed Ren Nan with all her might. With a loud thud, Ren Nan's heavy corpse fell to the ground. The knife stuck in the back of Ren Nan's head was pushed away, and the tip of the knife poked out from his open mouth.
Lin Sanjiu held her neck. One of her hands had turned red. She took a few deep breaths and kicked the corpse on the ground. Her voice was hoarse as she cursed, "Who said I only evolved two characteristics?" She could not stand the pain in her throat even though she had just said that.
After that kick, Lin Sanjiu's vision suddenly darkened and she almost fell. The dizziness caused by the blood loss came faster than she expected. She couldn't care less about anything else. Right now, bandaging her wound was the most important thing. She staggered to find a towel and applied pressure on her wound. She panted and sat on the ground again. She used all her strength to hold the towel tightly.
The shrill sound of police sirens echoed throughout the city, accompanied by vague screams and cries of people, adding to the deathly stillness of the apartment on the 38th floor.
Lin Sanjiu spent some time in a semi-conscious state before the bleeding finally stopped. It seemed that Lin Sanjiu wasn't dead yet. She didn't damage her artery. After resting for some time, she had gathered some strength. She struggled to get up and drank some water.
Putting down the cup of water, he looked up and saw Ren Nan's strangely shaped corpse lying quietly on the floor.
After some thought, Lin Sanjiu dragged her limp body to the side of the corpse. She placed a trembling hand on the corpse and said softly with a hoarse voice, "Put it away for me."
As soon as her voice fell, a white light flashed in her palm, and the corpse with the sharp knife on the ground disappeared. With a "pa" sound, a card the size of a poker card fell to the ground.
Lin Sanjiu took out her phone and flashed the card.
As she had expected, there was a crude crayon drawing on the card, a crooked picture of a man with his mouth wide open and a knife in his head. At the bottom of the card, there was a line of bold words: "Ren Nan's body".
[Ren Nan's Corpse]
Name: Can't you read the card title?
Race: Human
Status: … Dead?
Potential Value: 204
Suspect: Lin Sanjiu
Basic Abilities: Extreme Temperature Adaptation, Physical Enhancement, Body Modification
Advanced Ability: Hello, Me, Everyone, Nutritionist
"What the hell is this …" Lin Sanjiu stared at the card. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. This strange thing was the third ability that she had evolved, and it had saved her life tonight.
As long as she willed it, Lin Sanjiu could turn anything she touched into a card and store it in her body. When she wanted to use it, she only needed to think of something, and the card would return to its original form on her palm.
Previously, she had deliberately grabbed a boning knife and threw it at Ren Nan to make him lower his guard. The real killer move was when Ren Nan bit Lin Sanjiu and she struggled to put her hand on the back of his head. With a single thought, the "Chef's Knife" card in Lin Sanjiu's body that morning turned into a sharp knife and pierced Ren Nan's brain.
After a few days of experimentation, Lin Sanjiu realized that she could only switch items up to four times a day.
Even though she was no stranger to the cards she created, this was the first time Lin Sanjiu saw a card with such … rich content. She quickly flipped [Ren Nan's Corpse] over. Indeed, the back of the card was filled with small words.
Ren Nan, male, 28 years old, from another "New World". He was very introverted and was not popular with girls. When he was in university, he received a confession from a male senior. After the arrival of the New World, he struggled to survive. Blablabla … In short, after coming to the world where the suspect Lin Sanjiu was, Ren Nan ate a billionaire with a Potential Growth Value of 2 and took over his assets. Then, he approached the suspect Lin Sanjiu with a purpose. Just as he was about to eat Lin Sanjiu, he was killed by Lin Sanjiu.
"You don't say what you should say. It's fine if you use 'blablabla' to replace it, but why do you have to keep calling me 'suspect'?" Lin Sanjiu was a little annoyed. She used her finger to tap on the words, and the words immediately disappeared. Another paragraph slid out and appeared on the card.
You're good, I'm good, everyone's good: In a sea of people, the [Wisdom Eye] can identify seeds with high Potential Growth Value. Through intimate physical contact (kissing, hugging, etc.), this ability can stimulate the potential of an ordinary human, allowing them to evolve into various abilities faster. As the saying goes, one takes advantage while the other doesn't.
Nutritionist: After eating a person, you can maximize the Potential Growth Value, evolving ability, and physical fitness of the food. Only a balanced diet and nutrition can guarantee a better tomorrow.
Note: The chef's knife in the head is made in Germany. The blade is sharp, light, and sturdy. Bought at Jingxi Mall for 599 RMB.
If it wasn't for her [Sharp Intuition], Lin Sanjiu would have thought that she was dreaming. She cursed under her breath. She held the [Ren Nan's Corpse] in her hand and didn't know what to do. She didn't want to keep a corpse into her body. After some thought, she stuffed it into her pocket.
Ren Nan's card clearly stated his ability. Lin Sanjiu wondered if her card also had an introduction to the so-called "New World". Even though it was a good idea, Lin Sanjiu couldn't turn herself into a card. She rolled her eyes and plucked a strand of hair. She whispered, "Keep it!"
A white light flashed, and another card appeared in her hand.
[Hair]
Owner: Lin Sanjiu
Hair Texture: Black, healthy, the ends of the hair are a little dry.
Function: It is very annoying to stick it to a broom.
Note: Based on the condition of the roots of the hair, the owner may experience hair loss in their forties.
"Damn it. It's useless. " Lin Sanjiu waved her hand gloomily. A white light flashed, and the hair disappeared into the darkness.
"Is this a hot new world?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
"59 degrees Celsius … Even someone like me, who has evolved the [High Temperature Adaptation] ability, can't stand the heat. I wonder how a normal person will feel?"
Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu jolted and jumped up from the sofa. "Zhu Mei! How could I forget about my best friend! "
When she thought that Zhu Mei might be in danger, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less about the fact that she was an injured patient. She quickly found a backpack and rushed into the kitchen. She took all the bottled water and beverages in the fridge and stuffed them into her backpack. After changing into a light sportswear, she found the key and opened the apartment's emergency door. She rushed into the dark stairwell.
Even though she was only going downstairs, Lin Sanjiu was a little out of breath when she went down to the 38th floor. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and drank a mouthful of water. Then, she continued to walk to basement 1.
Ren Nan's car, or rather, the car of the person he ate, was parked at basement 1. Zhu Mei's house was a 20-minute car ride away. Lin Sanjiu didn't plan to walk there in such a high temperature.
Unexpectedly, the moment she stepped into the parking lot, Lin Sanjiu was almost blown away by the heatwave.
Looking at the parking lot in front of her, Lin Sanjiu switched off the flashlight on her phone in a daze. "Looks like I don't need a flashlight here."
At this time, every car that was parked in the parking lot had their headlights on. They were all in the starting state. The rumbling sound of the engines was amplified by dozens of times and filled the air above the parking lot. Hundreds of exhaust pipes spewed out hot air, turning the semi-enclosed parking lot into an oven. The temperature was at least three to four degrees higher than outside.
Everyone who could come to the parking lot was there. Since the city was without electricity, the people who couldn't stand the harsh heat all hid in their cars. Now, the air conditioner in the cars was the only way to save their lives.
Lin Sanjiu only walked two steps in the scorching air when she felt her back was drenched in sweat. Every car she passed by had frightened and unfamiliar faces. Some people were trying to make a phone call, some were crying uncontrollably with their children, and some were sleeping. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if they got dehydrated on the way to the parking lot. Some people were staring at her in astonishment. They didn't seem to understand how she could still walk.
Even though they were surrounded by the cold air of the cars, many of them still had a hint of despair on their faces. The air conditioner in the car was just stalling for time. Once the fuel and electricity ran out, no one in the parking lot would be able to survive the horrifyingly high temperature outside the car.
Lin Sanjiu knew very well that she didn't have the ability to help the people in the cars. She only had five bottles of mineral water, three cans of cola, and a few packs of band-aids in her backpack. With that little water, she didn't know how long she could last. Lin Sanjiu clenched her teeth and suppressed the pity in her heart. She looked straight ahead and found the familiar Audi. She got into the car as if she was escaping.
After thinking for a while, she didn't switch on the air conditioner. Instead, she wound down the car window. Anyway, she wouldn't die from the heat. At most, she would feel a little uncomfortable. She might as well save the fuel and electricity for Zhu Mei. Lin Sanjiu wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned the steering wheel. The car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Compared to the underground steamer in the parking lot, Lin Sanjiu felt a little better with the temperature of 59 ° C. Surprisingly, there were almost no cars on the street. Perhaps, no one wanted to waste the precious fuel and electricity.
The cars parked on both sides of the street were all in the starting mode, just like the ones in the parking lot. The people in the cars were helplessly enjoying the last bit of cold air …
Just as Lin Sanjiu sped past a red Mazda, a black figure suddenly flew from the right and slammed into the Audi's door with a dull thud.
