"I saw you from afar when I was upstairs. I know that gun of yours."
Under the orange glow of the setting sun, the teenage girl was completely engulfed in the shadows. Only her silhouette could be seen. Her messy hair floated in the setting sun, but the expression on her face was blurry.
"This is the gun that Mayor Orlean had when he was still around, right?" The teenage girl sounded a little intoxicated. Her eyes lingered on the gun strapped to Lin Sanjiu's waist. "Yes, I know it. I've seen the police officers carrying it. It was so nice back then. "
When Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth again, she realized that her voice was hoarse.
"... Nice?"
The teenage girl let out a long sigh. Her instructor, a middle-aged woman with blonde hair, was lying beside her feet. Blood was gushing out from under her head, and her left leg would twitch from time to time.
"Yes, there was so much food that I couldn't finish … Hey, you used to be one of the police officers, right? Can you tell me what happened half a year ago? Where did the mayor go? Where did the spiritual mountain go? "She asked anxiously," Can the mayor come back? "
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu realized that she was still wearing her dark blue police uniform.
She raised her head and stared at the teenage girl. She couldn't open her mouth for a long time.
"They are just hungry." A voice whispered in her mind. "When people are hungry, it's not strange for them to do anything. It's normal for them to miss the days when they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. After all, they are people who have been fed like pigs for decades."
When the teenage girl saw that Lin Sanjiu was not talking, she paused for a moment. Then, she laughed awkwardly, "Don't misunderstand me! I … I didn't mean it that way. It doesn't matter whether the mayor comes back or not. The important thing is that you are here, and you have a gun. You are our savior. If you take over us, no one will dare to fight back. "
Lin Sanjiu took off the gun without saying a word. She could feel that the teenage girl's breathing had quickened, and she was watching Lin Sanjiu's every move with a fervent gaze.
"Even if I take over all of you, I won't have any food for you. What should we do then? "Lin Sanjiu held the gun with one hand, and the gun hung heavily on the ground.
"I've thought about that," the girl said immediately, without a second's delay. "There are actually some farms in the outskirts of the town. It's said that they were left behind decades ago and have been abandoned. Once we establish a temporary management committee, we can organize people to farm … During this period of time, if anyone is disobedient, they can be used as food for farming. "
As she said this, the tutor at her feet twitched again. The girl looked at the twitching human body as if she was looking at a pork rib.
"There are farms near the town?" Lin Sanjiu was truly shocked. "The black mountain has been gone for half a year, but no one from the town has gone to reclaim those abandoned farms?"
The girl's gaze suddenly shifted from the gun to her face. She was silent for half a second.
She suddenly realized that she had just called out 'Heishan'.
However, the girl turned her eyes away and did not say anything. Instead, she smacked her lips regretfully and continued, "No, people nowadays are too lazy. My tutor and I have been camping near the farms for almost a month, but we didn't get a single seedling to eat … Logically speaking, Mayor Orlean had given out a lot of seeds and tubers, so they could have taken them out and planted them. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at the girl. She felt as if she was looking at a different creature.
'Does she want someone else to farm the farms because she wants to steal the seedlings to eat?'
"Even though you have a gun, you are alone. If a few men take advantage of you and steal your gun, you won't be able to do anything," the girl suggested eagerly. "You need to keep a few pairs of eyes by your side, and I'm willing to be one of them. No matter where you go, if there's always a group of people around you to protect and surround you, then your gun will never be snatched away. "
"You're right, but the bullets will run out one day," Lin Sanjiu said coldly. "When that time comes, you will become the target of everyone."
The girl seemed to have gotten a little too worked up. She coughed a few times before she lowered her voice and laughed, "That won't happen. You don't understand. Let me tell you the story from the beginning. Half a year ago, two enemies suddenly invaded Peanut Town. They burned, killed, and looted half of our town. In order to protect us, the spiritual mountain suddenly sped up and walked toward the center of the town, all the way to the town hall … At that time, we heard it summon all the police officers. When all the police officers were gathered, the spiritual mountain opened its body and took all the police officers away. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking of the husband who was accused by his wife for holding the remote control. She recalled how the black mountain opened a hole and dragged him into the depths of the mountain before he could even make a sound.
Perhaps, the black mountain wanted to absorb more people's' energy 'before attacking them.
"After the police officers disappeared, there was not a single gun left in this town. But … "The girl coughed a few more times. Her throat was dry and hoarse. She pointed in a direction and smiled, "There are still a lot of bullets in the storeroom over there … There are more of them than the population of the town."
Lin Sanjiu looked expressionlessly at the building she was pointing at. She bent down and struggled to stand up with Yu Yuan in her arms.
"You can hide him in my house first," the girl blushed unnaturally. "That way, when we go to recruit those people later, we don't have to …"
"Get lost."
The girl was stunned for half a second as if she didn't understand Lin Sanjiu's words.
When she finally understood what Lin Sanjiu meant, the loose skin on her face suddenly collapsed, as if she had been washed by a basin of snow water. The corner of her eyes hung high. "What?" she asked hoarsely, "What do you mean?"
"I told you to get lost."
Lin Sanjiu slowly raised the muzzle of the gun at the girl. Her voice was so soft that it was almost gentle, "I don't care what you want to eat today, or if you have anything to eat in the future. I'm not interested in your suggestion. I don't want to see you anymore. "
The girl looked even older and uglier than before. She stared at the muzzle for a few seconds, as if she still couldn't believe her eyes. Then, she glared at Lin Sanjiu as if she wanted to drill her eyes into Lin Sanjiu's skin. Then, she turned around and ran back into the residential building.
Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh when she saw that the woman's shadow had finally disappeared into the corridor. She lifted Yu Yuan up with some difficulty and walked forward.
She was actually aimless and didn't know where she should go. After she walked on the street for a while, the night quickly fell and covered the sky. However, the night passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned white again. It felt as if the Reverie Libretto had been sped up, and the plot was speeding up.
When the morning light pierced through the dark blue sky, the loudspeakers by the roadside suddenly buzzed, followed by the sizzling sound of electric current.
"They still work?" Just as the thought surfaced in Lin Sanjiu's mind, she heard a vaguely familiar voice from the loudspeaker.
"Everyone, listen to me," it was a high-pitched female voice. The voice was distorted by the electric current, but Lin Sanjiu recognized it immediately. It was the voice of the girl from before. It had only been one night, but the girl's voice sounded much more mature than before. "Survivors of Peanut Town, I want to tell you the truth. I declare to you the fact that it was the woman in the police uniform who robbed us of our former peace and happiness! I have a series of evidence to prove that she was the one who destroyed Black Mountain and killed Mayor Orlean! I buried Mayor Orlean's body with my own hands! She is the one who caused your hunger and disaster today! Are you going to let her go just like that?! Don't you want to eat her flesh and sleep on her skin?! "
Lin Sanjiu stood next to the loudspeaker, stunned for a moment.
She turned her head and looked around. In the dim morning light, there were rows of black loudspeakers, and they were all blaring the same voice at the same time. In the dim light, pairs of cold eyes and ashen faces flitted across the corner like reptiles or insects.
They were probably more interested in the flesh on her body, but they didn't mind taking the opportunity to vent their anger.
No one really came up to her because she still had a gun in her hand. Lin Sanjiu let out a heavy sigh. With a cold expression on her face, she decided to hurry to the warehouse that was filled with bullets. The building was just around the corner of the street.
"Don't be afraid! I know that she has no bullets left in her gun! " The girl continued to scream through the loudspeaker, "The person who killed her and took her gun can come to me and set up a temporary armed management committee with me! I also have a gun, and I'm just short of a partner! "
As soon as she said this, there was a rustling sound in the corner where the dim blue light of the sky did not shine.
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was walking in a dark sewer. She knew that she was surrounded by rats, but she didn't know where they were. The worst part was that she was carrying Yu Yuan, who was unconscious. In the eyes of the people in Peanut Town, he was just a piece of human-shaped meat. Although the material looked a little like a leech pupa, pupa, and phlegm, mengmeng Si Yimei waved the lucky phoenix ken?
"Really? Hang a banner on the glass wall … At least it can tell us what's going on outside!"
Maybe it was because of the emotional turmoil, but she felt a little tired. She turned around and walked toward the charred ground.
After a few steps, she saw four to five human-head-sized bugs. She endured the nausea and walked aimlessly for a while. Suddenly, without any warning, she felt acid rising from her stomach. The next second, she had already vomited it out. The limited amount of food in her stomach had turned into water and was emptied.
At the same time, she became more and more listless. Every step she took felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground with a soft thud. Black mud splattered all over her body.
Before she fainted, she suddenly realized that the glass ball city was trying to protect the humans from something.
