Now that she thought about it, how did Lin Sanjiu come up with the idea of a customs warehouse?
Although most people knew that imported food had to go through customs, not many people knew the details, right? The customs wanted to do a random inspection of imported food for a month, and a large amount of food was stored in the warehouse … All kinds of details that laymen didn't understand had been stored in their memories at some point. Just as Lin Sanjiu looked into the eyes of the man in the carriage, she suddenly remembered the reason why she knew all of this.
Because the person in front of him used to work in an import and export trading company.
"What's wrong, Xiao Jiu?" The voice of the person in the car sounded like he was smiling. "Are you not happy to see an old friend?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at her, momentarily forgetting what she wanted to say. After a long time, she called out in a hoarse voice, "Zhu Mei."
Behind her, Hu Changzai and the others, who had sensed that something was wrong and were about to step forward, exchanged confused glances when they heard this.
"Long time no see, Xiao Jiu." Zhu Mei squinted her almond-shaped eyes. "I didn't expect us to have more decorations on our faces."
Lin Sanjiu looked at her in a daze. Then, she reached out and touched the dark green pattern on her face. Looking at her movements, Zhu Mei laughed, "But yours looks much better than mine."
Was she smiling? An irrelevant thought suddenly flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind. Zhu Mei sounded like she was laughing, but half of her face was covered by her mouth, so it was hard to tell if she was smiling or not.
The place where the mouth and nose used to be was now a deep hole where the mouthparts drilled out. The end of the mouthpart suddenly swung and hit the car door with a loud bang. Lin Sanjiu was startled, and she retreated a few steps as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Are you afraid of me?" Zhu Mei took a step forward.
Her legs, which were only covered in shorts, were snow-white and plump. Her skin and flesh were delicate, just like when she was alive.
… When he was alive?
"Zhu Mei … after the temperature rose, I went to your house." Lin Sanjiu felt that her throat was dry and itchy. "Someone else went into your house. They said that you're dead …"
"What other people?" Zhu Mei tilted her head. Following her movements. The mouthparts glowed like metal in the dim tunnel. "Well, whatever … I might have died at that time. But since you've been there, why didn't you collect my body? "
Lin Sanjiu looked at her, speechless. At that time, she thought that Luther and Marcie wanted to kill her, so she turned around and rushed downstairs. Even though the misunderstanding was resolved after Zhu Mei caught up to her, she encountered her first duoluozhong … Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu did not know what to feel. She quickly glanced at Zhu Mei's mouth and was about to apologize. However, he was interrupted by the other party's voice.
"Sure." Zhu Mei smiled, got out of the car, and stood on the ground. "If you had been a busybody and collected my corpse, I might not be alive now."
Did it change after death? Lin Sanjiu thought as she bit her lower lip.
"... If I knew you would become a duoluozhong, I would not have left you alone." Her voice was gloomy.
Zhu Mei raised her eyebrows. "So I have a name? Do you think that duoluozhongs like us don't deserve to live? Do you think it's better for me to die than to become a duoluozhong? "
Her tone was sharp and aggressive. It was an attitude that Lin Sanjiu had never seen from Zhu Mei before. Lin Sanjiu was stumped by the question. Her mind was a mess, and she could not answer. She could only stare at Zhu Mei blankly.
Someone caught up to her. It was Hu Changzai. His voice was muffled as if he was speaking in the background, "Xiao Jiu, do you know this duoluozhong? Come here, be careful of her … "
Zhu Mei glanced at him and laughed, "Flower protector? What's wrong? Where's Ren Nan? "
"He is my companion." Lin Sanjiu suppressed the tumultuous emotions in her heart and ignored the second half of the question. She tried her best to reply calmly.
At this moment, Hai Tianqing and B.Rabbit walked over and looked at Zhu Mei warily. However, despite the situation, they still maintained a distance from each other. They still kept a distance from each other to avoid bumping into each other. After more than a month, this had become a subconscious habit of theirs.
Zhu Mei did not seem to care about the other people surrounding her. She crossed her arms and looked at Lin Sanjiu. There was a moment of silence.
Lin Sanjiu did not know what to say to Zhu Mei, who had changed not only in appearance but also in personality. Was she happy that her best friend was still alive? Was she sad that she had become a duoluozhong? Was she going to treat her like the other duoluozhongs? She thought about Wang Sisi, who had consumed her father's blood, and Pei Jun, who had used his girlfriend to hunt … What should she say? What should she do next? Lin Sanjiu had no clue.
After some time, she finally opened her mouth. However, the first sentence that came out of her mouth was, "Zhu Mei, from your appearance, you must have killed a lot of people?"
If she had not consumed at least ten people, she would not have such a plump body.
"Yes, I want to live! I have been living in this tunnel for a few months — "Zhu Mei nodded generously," Half of the people on this road, including a few posthumans, have become my food. I once told you about the customs and thought that you might come, so I chose this place … I didn't expect that you would really come. "
"I have all my previous memories. I can speak and think … Jiu, do you know what this means? This means that Zhu Mei has never died, and we are still good friends. "
At this moment, both of them were standing face to face. When Zhu Mei spoke, her mouthpiece vibrated and her saliva dripped from the end of her mouth to the ground.
"Is that really the case?"
The right side was where they came from, which was the other end of the tunnel. At this moment, the other people were standing on the right side. Hai Tianqing stepped forward anxiously and said with a frown, "Jiu, you don't have to say anything to her anymore. After becoming a duoluozhong, she is no longer the person she used to be. She should — "
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze and completely forgot what he was going to say.
He wasn't the only one. Lin Sanjiu and Zhu Mei were shocked as well. Their eyes followed the footsteps of the person in front of them and slowly moved from right to left.
A young man, who was about 1.78 meters tall, was carrying a backpack and wearing a hat. He was humming a tune as he walked past Lin Sanjiu and Zhu Mei nonchalantly as if he didn't see them. He continued to walk forward with light footsteps.
"He, he … Where did he come from?"
Lin Sanjiu stammered as she turned her head to look to the right.
Hu Changzai, Hai Tianqing, and B.Rabbit were still standing on the right side. The man was obviously coming from this direction. In other words, he had to walk past Hai Tianqing and the others first. However, they weren't any better than Lin Sanjiu. They stared blankly at the back of the man and obviously didn't notice his presence.
"No, I don't know. He suddenly walked past us …" Hu Changzai was shocked, "I didn't even realize that there was someone nearby …"
The man seemed to have sensed the gaze from behind. He suddenly stopped walking and his humming stopped as well. Then, he turned his head. Half of his face was covered by the shadow cast by the beret, so Lin Sanjiu couldn't see his face clearly. Only his rosy lips could be seen. The corners of his lips were curled upward. It was a standard and polite smile.
"You said that you have been living in this tunnel for a few months, right?"
The man's voice was flat. There was no cadence or rise or fall. It was like an electronic voice that made people feel uncomfortable.
Obviously, he was asking Zhu Mei. Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked at her subconsciously.
Zhu Mei didn't expect this strange man to suddenly talk to her. She frowned and looked at him carefully. Then, Her face suddenly turned pale, and her mouth trembled slightly. "Ah, could it be that you're —"
As if by magic, in the next second, an oval hole appeared in her chest. Through the hole, Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the car behind her.
Zhu Mei looked down at the hole in her chest in disbelief. She seemed to be mumbling something. Then, with a loud bang, her body fell to the ground. Her eyes were still wide open.
Until this moment. The piece of flesh that was blasted out hit the wall of the tunnel and immediately dyed the wall red.
The man in the beret slowly lowered his arm. There was a gunbar-like object in his hand that was still smoking.
The corners of his lips were still curled up. His tone was as flat and emotionless as before, "After becoming a duoluozhong, only the dark side of a person's personality awakens. So, they can't be considered the same person. Since she is a duoluozhong, I will help you kill her. No need to thank me."
As he spoke, the man in the beret lifted his chin slightly. Only then did they get a clear look at his face.
His skin was smooth, and he seemed to be of mixed blood. He had a high nose, deep eyes, and a handsome face. There were even a few curly hairs peeking out from the brim of his hat. However, that pair of eyes gave Lin Sanjiu a strange feeling. They were clearly black and white, but there was no luster in them. His eyeballs were fixed in the center of his eye sockets. When Lin Sanjiu looked at him, there was a moment when she couldn't tell if she was looking at a living person or a dead body.
"You … you killed Zhu Mei …" Lin Sanjiu gasped for air like a fish while trying to control her trembling limbs. "You killed Zhu Mei …"
For a moment, her mind was muddled. That was the only thought left in her mind.
Regardless of whether Zhu Mei was her original personality or not, she was still her best friend who had come back from the dead. However, before she could say anything, she died again … A large hand suddenly pressed on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder. The hand carefully avoided touching her skin and held her body. Then, Hai Tianqing's deep voice rang out, "Lil Jiu, don't act rashly."
Lin Sanjiu looked down and realized that she was holding the mouthpiece in her hand.
"Don't be rash. Don't be rash." Hai Tianqing, who was usually calm, sounded a little different than before. "Look behind you."
Lin Sanjiu turned her head, feeling a little confused.
Behind Hu Changzai and B.Rabbit stood a dozen beret men who looked exactly the same. Each of them had raised their gun barrels and were aiming at them.
"Aren't you guys going to the customs warehouse? Let's go together."
Behind her, the man who killed Zhu Mei spoke in a flat tone. (To be continued.)
