There were a total of seven door planks that Lin Sanjiu had dug out from the warehouse, excluding the small pieces. All of them were intertwined with each other, forming two thick layers of barbed wire. Compared to the pre-apocalyptic society, it was indeed a sturdy door.
"These few rows of shelves can disappear now."
Lin Sanjiu snapped her fingers, and the few rows of shelves in front of her disappeared as if they had melted into water. She looked up at the night sky above her head and suddenly couldn't help but sigh, "Really, how could I be so stupid?"
"Huh?" Mrs. Manas let out a doubtful sound.
"You too, Ryuji too. Why didn't you realize this just now?" Lin Sanjiu seemed to have no idea what to do with them. She raised her voice and said, "Isn't this warehouse missing the most important ceiling?"
The bushes in the distance rustled, and a round black shadow emerged. The black shadow opened its mouth and spoke in Ryuji's dispirited and listless voice, "Is the ceiling important?"
"Of course." Lin Sanjiu looked at the corpse that was chasing after her from afar, and her voice suddenly became softer. She pinned the [Power of Description] on her collar and opened and closed her mouth rapidly for a few seconds. Then, row after row of shelves rose from the ground and blocked her from the corpse. Unlike before, there were no gaps between the shelves. They were tightly arranged to form a large "block".
"Then, why?" Ryuji asked listlessly.
"We'll talk about it after I get out of here," Lin Sanjiu shouted at him, "Just stay here and don't move."
"Huh?" Ryuji replied blankly, "What are you going to do now?"
The shelves could only block the corpse for a while, but even if it was only for a few seconds, it was more than enough. Lin Sanjiu did not explain further. She looked at the three walls of the warehouse and mumbled something under her breath.
In the silent warehouse, the rustling sound of the corpse crawling into the shelf and its low panting were gradually drowned out by the sound of rubbing bricks moving. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a shadow extending from the top of the wall. The last wall grew from the edge of the only empty warehouse.
The newly formed shadow closed up and formed a ceiling. Together with the four walls, the warehouse was firmly sealed off. The already dim sky was instantly covered up, making it look like the inside of a black box. Only the [Ability Polishing Agent] in Lin Sanjiu's hand was still emitting a small silver glow.
"Why did you block the sky?" Mrs. Manas asked anxiously, "It's even darker now. That corpse —"
Lin Sanjiu picked up the silver bottle and looked out from the middle of the shelves. The head that was folded into the chest of the corpse was reflected in her field of vision. From afar, she could see the back of a black head and its twisted and curled shoulders crawling over from the middle of the shelves.
"You didn't notice, did you?" She chuckled. "We're now on the side closest to the gate."
"So, so what?"
Lin Sanjiu turned around and walked toward the metal mesh door with the [Ability Polishing Agent] in her hand. However, her target wasn't the door but the walls on both sides of the door. After feeling around for a while, she said softly, "I found it."
"What?"
Following a soft "pop", the warehouse suddenly flashed a few times. Lin Sanjiu was already prepared for this, so she closed her eyes. When she slowly opened her eyes, the warehouse was already as bright as snow.
There were more than ten incandescent lamps lined up neatly on the ceiling. They were so bright that they looked like a blur to her eyes.
"Even the non-living rooms have electric lights," Lin Sanjiu explained to Mrs. Manas in her mind. She explained softly to Mrs. Manas in her mind, "Usually, the light switch is located near the main entrance. That's why we didn't have to fight in the dark because this warehouse is already equipped with lighting. "
"But, but the [Power of Description] can only be activated if it's based on reality —"
"Of course there is," Lin Sanjiu said calmly, "Have you forgotten? Before we reconstructed the wall, there were steel bars and wires in the gap. If there are steel bars, it means that this warehouse isn't a bungalow. If there are wires, we can use that to describe the electric lights. "
"Only the wire is enough?"
Under the bright white light, every detail of the corpse was exposed. It looked a little less strange, but a little more disgusting. Lin Sanjiu looked at the corpse as it crawled closer and closer. "Hmm," she replied without moving, "This is actually a tool test for my [Power of Description]."
"Huh?"
"Do you remember the glass shard we found? I used it to describe a window. But when I think about it, is it really so coincidental? I think the shard is on the glass window. Are they really on the glass window? What if the glass shard is part of the lamp? So, I did a test. " Lin Sanjiu pointed at the small window on the wall and answered, "The answer is, you can use the same material to describe different things. As long as they all contain the same element, it will work."
"In other words, as long as it contains' glass' and has the necessary element, it can be described?"
"Yes, but there is a hidden condition."
"What is it?"
"I have to organize the circuit of the lamp in my mind before I can describe the lamp that can be lit. Otherwise, it would be just like the wall lamp that I used to pedal on, just for show. "
Come to think of it, the "wall lamp" made of cement was just a solid block of cement. After all, Lin Sanjiu only needed it to support her for a short while.
"If I can't understand how it works, I can't describe it to reality …" Lin Sanjiu sighed, a little disappointed. "Even so, this tool is a rare treasure."
"Let's not talk about the tool first," Mrs. Manas raised her voice, "The corpse is almost in front of us!"
Indeed, between the narrow shelves, the spine of the corpse was rattling noisily. It was as if the head was being pulled out from its chest. Lin Sanjiu could even see how the joints were being pulled out one by one. She sighed and snapped her fingers again. All the shelves in front of her instantly disappeared.
When the corpse fell to the ground with a thud, Lin Sanjiu pulled out her [Tornado Whip]. Before the corpse could stand up, a strong gust of wind had already wrapped around it and slammed it into the wall at the end of the warehouse. As all the shelves had been removed, the warehouse was empty. Even though the corpse was trying to grab onto something in the air, there was nothing for it to grab onto. It was flung into the wall without any resistance. With a loud boom, a large hole appeared in the wall.
Almost in the blink of an eye, countless rows of shelves appeared in front of the hole. Lin Sanjiu adjusted the power of her [Tornado Whip] and lashed it at the rows of shelves. The iron bars and wooden boards shattered like dominoes. Such a large number of shelves were all sent flying by her attack, and they all shot towards the big hole in the wall. In the blink of an eye, the big hole was completely blocked, and half of the warehouse was also piled up with debris like ruins.
"This way, we can hold it off for a little longer." Lin Sanjiu retracted her whip and clapped her hands. "Even though the pocket dimension creatures are difficult to deal with, if we can make a clear judgment of the situation and maximize the resources we have at hand, we can reduce the danger to the minimum."
Mrs. Manas seemed to be stunned. After some time, she stammered, "In the past, Ji Shanqing didn't have your level of combat power, so I didn't think he was that scary …"
Lin Sanjiu did not respond.
"So, what should we do next?"
"We need to get out of this warehouse." Lin Sanjiu turned around and pointed at the barbed wire gate, "Look, this gate is not complete. I didn't find the lock on the gate."
Lin Sanjiu didn't know what happened to this warehouse in the past, but the lock on the gate had been split into two. She used her [Power of Description] to reconstruct the gate, but now, there was only a small part of the keyhole that she found.
As long as Lin Sanjiu found a few pieces of barbed wire, she could figure out what the rest of the gate looked like. Therefore, it wasn't difficult to reconstruct the whole gate. However, she couldn't reconstruct the lock. Even if she had a small part of the lock as her "basis of reality", Lin Sanjiu still needed to understand its internal structure and working principles before she could reconstruct the lock.
Mrs. Manas looked at the lock through Lin Sanjiu's eyes. She didn't know what to do, "There is only half of the lock left. What should we do?"
"This is why I need the electric light," Lin Sanjiu smiled. "I want to draw out the internal structure of the lock based on the remaining half of the lock."
