Chapter 1736 Hawaiian hammock under the moonlight
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly turned his head, and the dark and long city road came into view: the raised and lowered canopy beds by the side of the road, the heavy shadows of several cabinets, the outstretched arm of a sleeping person in the cubicle, The open-air stove with staggered pots and pans and stacked cups and bowls... In the dark night, everything was the same as when she came here just now.
It's a trap, they deliberately diverted their attention away——
With one thought, at the same time when she turned her head, the dim light of the [Protective Force Field] had already lightened slightly on her body, and the muscles all over her body were tense with the signal of fighting, but when she looked again, Lin Sanjiu was stunned again.
Batou De and the woman smoking by the window didn't take advantage of the two of them turning their heads to make a move, they still stared at her behind, but the vigilance just now was obviously relaxed; it was as if they had experienced a false alarm , Badude exhaled slightly.
"What did you see?" Zhong Qing's reaction was almost exactly the same as that of Lin Sanjiu's. At this time, he turned his head to look behind him a few times, bit his thin lips tightly, and couldn't help but bewildered. "Or, what do you think you saw?"
"My eyes are dazzled," Batoude scratched his chin, and said persuasively, "I thought someone was making a surprise attack. It's okay, it's okay. Let's go?"
This is not believable.It is justifiable for one person to be dazzled, but can two people be dazzled together?
The two of them must have seen something in the city road, and thought it was another thing, something dangerous that shouldn't exist, so they became vigilant at the same time.
If that thing was a Corrupted species, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see anything in the city road that might be mistaken for a Corrupted species.
Her combat power and sensitivity are much stronger than those of the Eight-Headed Virtue, and she did not catch any strange noises just now—now she is very familiar with the breath and noise of Fanjia City, especially at night, it is easier to detect strange things that should not exist .
"You explain to them, and I won't get involved." The woman who was smoking by the window didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so she turned around and left, and when she passed by Zhong Qing, she smiled at him. "Come and play with my sister next time, I'll take you to the restaurant in Fanjia City."
Zhong Qing had a sullen face and didn't make a sound.
Batoude said without embarrassment: "It's like this. The area we patrol is indeed far away from the outer edge of the city. It is not a place where fallen species will crawl in the first time. But the reason why we patrol here is because there are four A person disappeared quietly from nearby. I hope to find out the reason during the patrol... There are many rumors in Fanjia City, but you can't believe it after hearing it. Many of them are completely unfounded. I told them repeatedly Don't spread these things, it won't do much, and don't know who is believing and spreading those rumors."
He was angry at the end.
This explanation is indeed reasonable; Zhong Qing frowned and thought about it, and then asked: "Then what did you think you saw just now? We both found out, and you were on guard for a moment."
"To be honest, I don't know either." Batou De sighed and said, "If I knew what I was guarding against, maybe I wouldn't be as neurotic as I am now."
"But you always have guesses—"
"I don't want to talk nonsense about things I'm not sure about." Batou De stopped Zhong Qing from talking, and said, "In my line of work, if there are no rules to restrain myself, do you know how much impact it will cause?"
"Let's keep going," Lin Sanjiu felt that she should give him a break - she was not like Zhongqing who could not be paid in a big deal, and the eight-headed virtue was her best hope to find the gift bag and Yu Yuan. "No matter what the reason for the disappearance is, I'm sure I can stop it."
Zhong Qing nodded reluctantly, and the three continued on their way.In the next few hours, there was no wind and no waves as before. As the time got later and later, even the businesses that opened at night pulled up their boards and closed.The city road led the three of them to bend forward, as if they were gradually sinking into the dark and quiet depths of the earth. Only when Lin Sanjiu occasionally raised his head and saw the night sky exposed from the broken ceiling did he realize that he was on a high mountain.
On both sides of the road, there are small rooms, tents, canopy beds and cloth blankets made of various materials, and there are people sleeping. Get close and wake up.
When the group of them transferred the fifth district to the fifth time, even Lin Sanjiu could vaguely recognize the way: where is a luxurious small room that stands out from the crowd, where is the not-so-clean public toilet, where is It was a "dormitory" of a "school"—several children slept in rows on canopy beds behind the tents—so when Batoude suddenly stopped, she looked around and understood.
There used to be a hammock with a sleeping person, but it is now empty.
The fabric that had lost its weight shrank into a thin strip, hanging from the ceiling, still swaying slightly.
"When we walked by last time," Batou De slammed the hammock, as if a person might fall through the gap, and even the voice was a little bit uncontrollable: "He still sleeps here, Right? What about others? Look for them, hurry up!"
There are some chests, tables and chairs crowded around the hammock, and on the side wall next to the hammock is a small window formed by pulling out a few bricks; the moonlight streams down from the window, illuminating the empty bed and the ashes on the ground. .
Lin Sanjiu didn't believe in evil, and even pried open the door of the cupboard, but there was no sign of that man anywhere—she remembered that the man sleeping here was a man who hadn't evolved, and even when he was asleep, it made people want to laugh: He probably heard of the pre-apocalyptic world from somewhere, wearing a floral shirt, sleeping in a hammock, and a big map on the wall, vividly turning the slums into Hawaii.
Now he's gone from the Hawaii of his own making.
"Did you sneak into someone else's tent?" Zhong Qing looked around and became a little nervous: "We have checked several times, and there is nothing..."
Their voices were uncontrollable, and everyone nearby was stirred up and woke up rustlingly.Someone unzipped the tent, and someone yelled "Who is it" vaguely through the wall; Batoude grabbed the man who had just poked his head out of the tent, pointed to the hammock and asked, "Where is that man? Did you hear anything?"
As soon as the man was woken up from his sleep, he was surrounded by three evolutionists bent over. He couldn't help being startled, and said, "I, I'm asleep, how would I know? Did I go to the bathroom?" went?"
About the toilet——Lin Sanjiu straightened up when he heard the words, and glanced back.When she came here just now, she passed a public toilet on the way, and now she turned back to look for it, there was still time...
She didn't move.
Batou De and Zhong Qing seemed to have been pressed the pause button for a moment; for a few seconds, no one moved or spoke.
...It seems that everyone has seen it.
It must have been out of the corner of my eye.
The man protruding from the tent looked up at the three evolutionists who suddenly stiffened and said nothing, with doubts floating on his face. "how……"
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes were suddenly drawn away by something else; he squinted his eyes in the night, he was relieved, pointed to the window on the wall beside the hammock and said, "Isn't that guy right there?" standing?"
Lin Sanjiu tensed her body, and slowly turned her head towards the window.
The man in the tent was still talking ramblingly: "I was shocked, I thought someone was missing again. It turned out that he ran outside the wall, that's all right, if it's okay, I'll continue to sleep..."
The man in the flowered shirt was indeed standing outside the wall at some point; or to be more precise, there was indeed a man's face floating out of the small window on the wall at more than one time—below his chin, Lin Sanjiu could no longer see it, wondering if there was a flowered shirt underneath.
"How did he..." Zhong Qing started softly, but didn't finish his sentence.
Lin Sanjiu knew what he meant.There is no break in the ceiling of this section of the road, and there are only small windows the size of a human head on the wall; to run outside the wall, the flower shirt has to walk tens of meters forward or backward, jump onto the nearest break in the ceiling, and then climb along the wall go outside.
But several evolutionaries have never heard the sound of footsteps in the city road.
That face blocked the moonlight in the small window, facing the window in darkness, only the top of the head and cheekbones were brightly dyed.But his eyes were clear in the darkness: there was a faint light on those eyes, and they turned left and right a few times along with his gaze.
"Hello," Batoude was the first to go forward and called him a few steps outside the window. The pleasant voice that belonged to the announcer trembled a little at this moment. "Are you the one who slept in this hammock just now? What are you doing out there?"
Zhong Qing took two steps back.
In the window with a large head, the face was still silent.
"Speak," Batoude raised his voice and asked, "Don't you know me?"
As soon as he exerted his strength in the voice, he suddenly broke Fanjiacheng's trembling dream with his eyes closed, and made many people get up from their beds—including a few evolutionaries who seemed to have woken up a long time ago.
"What's the matter," someone whispered, "isn't that Apu? What is he doing?"
A female evolutionary came two steps closer, as if she was about to question the man named A Pu, when she opened her mouth, she made a sound of taking a breath.
"What's wrong?" Batou De immediately turned his head towards her.
"No." The female evolutionary stared at the face in the window, and she didn't know who she was talking to, "There is another city road outside the wall, and another family is separated from his hammock by the wall. I see Yes. He is standing outside at the moment, where exactly is he standing? Standing on someone else's mattress?"
If he stood on the mattress, the person on the mattress——Lin Sanjiu hadn't finished his thoughts, but saw that person's face suddenly turned left and right a few times, tentatively sticking in through the window; Scraping over the window sill, exposed to the air of the city road, the chin is stuck tightly on the window sill, and there is no space for the neck.
"He wants to come in?" Another evolutionary yelled suddenly, "Is he going to come in? Don't let him in, stop him!"
Obviously A Pu is an ordinary person, but he seems to be afraid of him, even though there is no reason at all—besides, how can a person get in through a window with a big head?
"There's something wrong with him," the female evolutionary also cried out in low panic, "I know, I know what's going on with him..."
"What's going on?" Zhong Qing asked immediately.
It was also at this moment that Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood what Batoude was wary of before, and also understood why she didn't notice anything strange.What he was wary of was probably the most common and normal thing in Fanjia City, how could she detect something was wrong?
"Ordinary people here are mutating!"
When the female evolutionary said this, Apu's head was still stuck in the window; but as a greasy sound suddenly sounded from outside the wall, as if something had been pulled from the flesh, all the evolutionaries felt Arrived.
Now I'm afraid there is only one head stuck in the window.
Titles are getting more and more romantic, aren't they?
