[I didn't make much progress today. I only have 500 words so far. The main reason is that I have been writing [Soulfall] since this morning. I actually managed to write 5000 words in a day. I'm feeling a little nauseous. Speaking of which, writing takes up so much time that I can't even do my job anymore … Is there anyone who can translate Chinese and English novels for me? Thank you, dads.]
Lin Sanjiu pressed down on her pounding heart. Avoiding Hai Tianqing's exposed skin, she placed her hand on his shirt and pushed it a few times.
The latter opened his eyes groggily. After helping his comrades clear a few dozen tons of goods in the morning, even someone as tough as Hai Tianqing was so tired that he fell asleep early.
"Hmm? What's wrong? "He rubbed his eyes and asked softly.
In the dark container, Lin Sanjiu's amber eyes glinted like a cat's.
"I know the identity of the Berets," Lin Sanjiu's voice trembled slightly.
Hai Tianqing abruptly sat up.
At that moment, there were almost a hundred people living in the container.
In just one morning, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the container. Every time the door opened, there would be some panic-stricken people being pushed in by the Berets. They became the new members of the cage. As the number of people increased, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling apprehensive. "How many people have the Berets and their comrades captured?"
Seeing that the container was almost full, one of the Berets slammed the door shut. Then, he inserted a metal chain through the hole in the door and locked the door.
Of course, in the face of almost a hundred posthumans, this chain was just for show. What really scared these "prisoners" was the Berets with guns that they could see when they looked out through the hole.
With the middle-aged white-collar worker whose limbs were all broken as an example, the newcomers didn't act rashly for the time being.
Those who could survive until now had already experienced some danger. Seeing that the Freaks didn't seem to have any intention to kill them, they all closed their eyes to rest after a short conversation to conserve their energy.
As they were still worried about the [Versu Poison], the few of them spread far away. Lin Sanjiu was worried that she would accidentally bump into someone when she fell asleep, so she found a spot near the door. The sunlight that shone through the hole in the door was hot and bright. Naturally, there was no one around her.
After falling asleep for a while, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
The footsteps sounded different from the ones she had heard before.
The noise was loud, as if a great many small people were coming in a crowd from afar, and their feet must have been very small, for it sounded like a troop of large mice hurrying along at a great speed.
Lin Sanjiu struggled for some time before she opened her eyes. She squinted through the hole and looked outside. She was dumbfounded.
Then, she rushed to Hai Tianqing's side and woke him up.
"You go get Hu Changzai, I'll go get the rabbit, we'll meet at the hole by the door." Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to explain, so she quickly gave him a few instructions. She carefully avoided the people lying on the ground and ran to the corner where Hare was.
The four of them met at the door. Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to explain. She gave a few instructions and carefully avoided the people on the ground.
The spot where Lin Sanjiu was previously standing was now illuminated by the sunlight. Hu Changzai led the way and walked into the light. He bent down and looked out of the cave.
Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu saw that there were too many people in the group and they hadn't left yet.
They were extremely short, not even one meter tall. Their heads were disproportionately big compared to their bodies. They seemed to be mixed-race people. Every one of them had blonde hair and big blue eyes. They were strangely beautiful. Rabbit's ears twitched in confusion. He looked at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "Is this a group of foreign midgets? What does this have to do with the identity of the Beret? "
Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly. Suddenly, something appeared in her hand, "Look at this and look outside."
It was a 60-centimeter long toy, Elsa. It was smiling motionlessly in a transparent box.
The three of them were dumbfounded. They looked at the toy and then at the "midgets" walking outside.
"This, this, this … They look exactly the same …" Hu Changzai stuttered, "Do you mean …"
"That's right," Lin Sanjiu nodded, "I found a container filled with these dolls. The Beret protected the container and no one was allowed to go near it … Even though I found it strange, I didn't think too much about it. Now, it seems — "
She took a deep breath and her face turned pale.
"There is someone, or some kind of power, that can turn these humanoid dolls … Hmm, let's say they become humans. When I think about it this way, it makes sense that some strange things happen. The dolls still have a lot of characteristics, so they look strange. For example, their expressions never change and they walk on their tiptoes. That's how they were when they were created. "
Hai Tianqing frowned and thought for a while, "They walk on their tiptoes. Their bodies are fine and their height is about the same as a normal person …"
"They are plastic models from a clothing store," Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly again. "That's why when Rabbit and I met them, they didn't react at all … They don't even have pores, so they won't bleed to death."
"I see! The material of those models is different from normal plastic. They have a high melting point and aren't afraid of high temperatures. Of course, they aren't afraid of fatigue either, "Hu Changzai sighed in realization.
"Then, who made these dolls and dolls come to life?" Hai Tianqing's vocabulary was a little lacking. "Also, how could each of these dolls have such a powerful weapon?"
This question stumped all three of them. None of them could answer it. For a moment, they could only stare blankly at the "Elsa" outside. After all, the hole was too small. Coupled with the patrolling Beret, they could only see fragmented images. If they wanted to gather more information, this wasn't enough.
"Let's open a hole above the container and look out," Lin Sanjiu suggested, "As the saying goes, stand high and see far. Don't forget that the container we are in is white. "
Hu Changzai clapped his hands when he heard Lin Sanjiu's suggestion. His face, which was covered by a black electronic circuit, immediately broke into a smile, "That's right! I still have a tofu knife. "
[Tofu Knife]
Description: Tofu beauty from the bazaar asked Pockmark Wang to make a knife for her. This knife might not be good for other things, but it was perfect for cutting tofu. After a long time, not only tofu, but also any white object could be cut as easily as tofu. Even though this logic was strange, it was how things worked.
This was the third Special Item that she won from the Red and White Tournament. She didn't expect to use it at this moment. With the tofu knife, it wasn't difficult to climb high. Lin Sanjiu leaped from Hai Tianqing's shoulder. Once she reached the top, she quickly stabbed an ordinary fruit knife into the wall of the container and made a hole. The tofu knife lived up to its name. The wall of the container was as soft as a piece of tofu. There was no resistance at all.
Lin Sanjiu jumped back and forth a few times. She made a square hole the size of a human head. A large piece of the container wall fell down. Hu Changzai was afraid that it would make a noise, so he quickly grabbed it.
Even though he grabbed it quickly, their actions still alerted the people around them.
When the people saw their formation, they all gathered around them. They raised their heads and looked at Lin Sanjiu, who was leaning against the window.
"What's the situation outside?"
"Are those weird people still around? How many of them are on patrol? "
"It's been a long time. They should be sleeping now, right?"
These people didn't know as much as Lin Sanjiu and the others, so they had a lot of questions.
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth, but she couldn't speak. As the edge of the "window" was too sharp, and her entire weight was hanging on the edge, she could feel her palms bleeding very quickly.
The people looked at her anxiously. Lin Sanjiu could jump so high because her Enhanced ability was superior to the others. No one else could reach that height. Hai Tianqing noticed something was wrong. He quickly took off his shirt, rolled it into a ball, and threw it up, "Xiaojiu, use this as a cushion!"
Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand, and the shirt brushed past her fingertips. Just when everyone thought that she couldn't reach it, she suddenly threw out a mouthpart from her hand and rolled the shirt back. Then, the mouthpart disappeared again. Lin Sanjiu used the shirt as a cushion and held on to the edge of the container. She used the strength of her arms to stabilize herself.
Only then did the people below let out a sigh of relief.
"Miss, what's the situation outside?" a voice asked anxiously.
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly outside and ignored the voice.
Ever since the descent of Hyperthermal Hell, she had never seen so many "people".
On the dock, on the road, and around the containers, there was a huge crowd of human heads. It was as if dark clouds had fallen from the sky and covered the ground. The crowd was silent. Although there were many of them, they were orderly, as if they were obeying an invisible voice.
At a glance, there were plastic models like Berets and humanoid toys like Elsa among the sea of human heads. There were even some women with extremely thin bodies. When they turned around, they were only left with a thin sheet of skin. They must have been cardboard figures used for publicity.
Most of the "people" maintained a stiff, lifeless smile. Lin Sanjiu shuddered at the sight of them.
Just as she was stunned from the shock, the dense crowd suddenly parted to form a path. She looked along the path and finally saw a normal-looking man with flesh and blood.
The man was dressed very strangely. He walked slowly to the dock as if he was taking a stroll.
Lin Sanjiu stuck half her head out and stared at him. She didn't dare to make eye contact.
As he walked, he stopped and turned to say something to the "person" beside him.
