It's too hot.
This kind of heat is not in it, I'm afraid I can't imagine it at all - as soon as the sweat came out, it immediately evaporated, followed by another layer of hot sweat. Lin Sanjiu only felt that his body system seemed to have become an old dog who was struggling in the hot air.
In comparison, Lu Ze looks much stronger. Although he has Mars on his back, he looks more calm than Lin Sanjiu. He saw it himself and asked loudly, "Hey, are you... strong...?"
"What?" Lin Sanjiu also raised his voice and shouted. The noise of the surrounding car engines was too loud. Lu Ze was just on the other side of the car, and she couldn't hear it clearly.
"I said--" Lu Ze took a few steps around the car and came over. The Mars on his back was a little taller than him, and both feet were dragged on the ground. Haven't you been physically strengthened?"
Just now, she spit out two words. Lin Sanjiu only felt that her tongue was dry, and it was dry all the way into her throat. She didn't dare to open her mouth again, so she had to shake her head and signal Lu Ze to leave quickly. Lu Ze looked surprised, as if he wanted to say something - but now is the time to chat? He nodded quickly and began to struggle through the traffic that was constantly spraying hot air towards the outside.
Every few steps, Lin Sanjiu should raise his hand to wipe his eyelids. She sweated so much that it dripped into her eyes just now, which was hot and uncomfortable - she couldn't help but doubt herself: is that "high temperature adaptation" time-effective? Otherwise, why was she not so hot at the beginning, but now she is sweating like rain?
At this rate, can we still rush to the supermarket before dehydration?
The two looked around in silence - there was a guardrail in the middle of the road, which was intended to divide the traffic into two directions. However, when the crisis came, there were too few people who could still abide by the traffic rules. At this time, the cars on both sides were entangled horizontally and vertically, with some going backwards and some going backwards...
If you go over the guardrail, it's not only a physical burden and inconvenient to carry Mars, but also means going through a hot traffic - but it's really deadly.
Together, both of them walked towards the end of the car dragon.
The driver of the Land Rover was a thin woman. When the two passed by, Lin Sanjiu found that she had fallen into the car, her eye sockets were deep and her personal information was unknown - I'm afraid that she was short of water all the way and had already had symptoms of dehydration and unconsciousness, so she crashed the car in panic.
In the car that was hit by the front of the Land Rover, the air conditioner could no longer be used; but thanks to the previous air conditioning, the middle-aged fat man who was driving was miraculously awake. From the moment the two got out of the car, he stared at them closely.
When Lin Sanjiu passed by his car, the fat man slammed several windows at her.
To be honest, Lin Sanjiu is not an iron-hearted person; but at this time, she is about to heat up. It is still a question of how long she can hold on, and she can't squeeze out a little extra compassion. She just frowns and glances at the fat man.
Through the glass, the fat man's voice was vague: "It's hot outside... Can you go?"
Lin Sanjiu probably guessed what he meant.After thinking about it, I shook my head to signal that I couldn't do it. I took a step and left. The heat from the car made the already bad situation even more unbearable. She really couldn't stand it.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the fat man suddenly became anxious and pushed the door of the car: "I'm talking to you. Stop - aren't you just walking outside? I..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a harsh scream.
The scream was filled with a numbing sense of pain, even overshadowing the sound of the engine. Lin Sanjiu quickly turned around and found that as soon as the fat man's exposed skin touched the exhaust gas outside, a string of blisters burst out--
The bright red and congested blisters exploded on his skin, and the fat man's face and hands were like being splashed with hot boiling water, and pieces of broken skin were opened shockingly. His cry was still going on. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help it anymore. He held Lu Ze steady with one hand, raised his foot, kicked him back into the car, and then closed the door heavily.
The cry of pain suddenly became much softer, and seeing that the fat man's burns seemed to no longer continue - Lin Sanjiu took a breath and exchanged a shocked look with Lu Ze.
It turned out that it was not that her ability had declined, but that the outdoor temperature had risen to a terrible point: when ordinary people were exposed to the air heated and steamed by exhaust gas, even their skin had a burn reaction--
"Don't think about it. Let's go!" Lu Ze, who has always been talkative, also began to cherish words like gold.
The two hurried out of the car and left hundreds of engines, only then did they feel a little better. Crossing the road and walking to the sidewalk with trees, the two did not dare to delay and rushed straight towards the shopping mall.
The leaves on the roadside have long lost their green, and they are blackened and dry, curled up under the trees. At time to time, Lin Sanjiu would see several people lying motionless on the ground - every inch of his skin was scalded, and his body had long been undulating.
No matter how strong she was, it was the first time for Lin Sanjiu to see so many dead people - she swallowed with some fear and nausea, but her mouth was dry and there was no water at all.
"Let's drink the rest of the coke!" Lu Ze's dry and hoarse voice came from behind.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a lout and took out the last can of coke. Coke does not replenish water, but there is some water in the supermarket, so there is no need to suffer from this sin outside. In the past, the coke that could not be finished in one breath, but now they felt that it was too little - the two of them didn't care if it was good or bad, so they quickly drank half of the hot coke.
Throwing away the jar and walking for a while, the main door of the shopping mall gradually showed a clear appearance.
The fountain pool, which has never stopped in the past, has cracked open, as if it has never been wet. However, several bodies lying face down in the pool showed that the fountain was their last hope. After death, the skin of the corpse was burned again, and it fell to every place, which was shocking.
Lin Sanjiu lowered his head, carefully avoided the corpse on the ground, and jumped forward. Occasionally, when he looked up, he found that Lu Ze had walked in front of him with Mars on his back.
I just wondered why he walked so fast.Immediately there was an answer: Lu Ze didn't care at all, stepped on the back of a young mother-like corpse, and walked into the door of the shopping mall.
Lin Sanjiu hurried for a few steps, chased after him, and patted his arm angrily: "Can't you respect the dead?" After saying a word, my throat hurt.
Lu Ze was shocked by her, and his expression was faintly confused. Then he realized: "Oh, oh! Well... I'm sorry, I've seen too many dead people. I'm probably a little numb. He showed a rabbit tooth with embarrassment: "I'm just starting out, and I'm the same as you."
Seeing his good attitude, Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything more even if he was uncomfortable. He changed the topic and said, "Go over there. There is an elevator to go down!"
Lu Ze nodded, then looked up at the shopping mall, and gently praised, "It's really beautiful here..." He didn't stop and followed Lin Sanjiu all the way to the supermarket.
It is said that this shopping mall was designed by a famous French architect: it is five floors high, empty in the middle, and planted with dense tropical plants. Probably because of the layers, the tropical trees have been growing high to the elevator on the fifth floor. When walking here, it feels like walking in the primeval forest.
But there is no time to appreciate it now. Lin Sanjiu glanced at the tropical forest quickly and only felt that something was wrong. For a moment, he couldn't say why, so he had to shake his head and rush down the elevator.
However, when they saw the supermarket, both of them couldn't help taking a breath.
The situation was worse than Lin Sanjiu expected - she must be the only one who could think of this supermarket; but the situation in this supermarket still made her feel unexpected.
When the temperature rose abnormally last night, the supermarket was obviously open, so it was crowded with people. Of course, these people could no longer move or speak at this time. They lay on the ground and turned into a corpse. Last night's chaos seemed to be solidified: empty bottles rolled down everywhere, mineral water bottles, beverage bottles... The beige floor was sprinkled with traces of dried juice drinks. The last few bottles of water were lying in a mess on the beverage rack as if they had been looted, and several dead people on the ground were firmly holding a pile of drinks stained with blood and body fluids.
The most tongue-watering thing is that the cause of death of a cashier was obviously not dehydration - the back of her head was deeply deflated, and the cash register in front of her was open, empty inside.
Lu Ze said twice, "The person who steals money should be stupid now!"
"If he is not dead." Lin Sanjiu had already lost his mouth. He took out a bottle of water from the arms of a corpse at the door, drank half a bottle without hesitation, and handed it to Lu Ze.
It seems that although the supermarket is full of corpses and there has been some chaos, it should not be a problem to maintain the water for three people at least now. Lu Ze was tired all the way with Mars on his back. He put her on the floor and muttered, "Obviously, she is not a real flesh and blood. Why is it so heavy..."
Lin Sanjiu sat in a cash register where there were no dead people to rest. As soon as he heard this, he couldn't help asking curiously, "I've wanted to ask... I didn't like it because Martha was there before. What does that corrupt species mean by saying that she is fake blood and flesh?"
"She is my differentiated personality, and in a sense, she is also an independent person." Lu Ze said while drinking water, "However, her authenticity depends on my ability... Now my ability is not enough, so many parts of Martha's body are not very... er, realistic."
Lin Sanjiu nodded and did not ask any more questions. The two replenished water and rested for a while, and then felt that the empty stomach and intestines were getting uncomfortable.
"Let's go to the food area to have a look?" Lin Sanjiu proposed.
"Wait." Lu Ze stopped her, looked around and asked, "Is there anything here that can be used as a weapon?"
