The Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 3: Odd Card

The tender and elastic flesh of the young girl was deeply embedded in Ren Nan's mouth, and the blood with the smell of rust dyed his chin red. With just a little more effort, Lin Sanjiu's fragile life would disappear from the world forever.

But Ren Nan didn't move. —— It's not that he didn't want to eat this good seed in front of him, but he couldn't. At this moment, a chef's knife was deeply inserted into the back of his head, all the way to the handle.

Ren Nan's snow-white eyes still had a trace of excitement - he didn't understand until he died, why did Lin Sanjiu's empty hands struggle in the air in vain, and he died?

For a while, all Lin Sanjiu could hear was her own heart beating like a drum, thumping and thumping under the heavy corpse - she endured the severe pain on her neck, and with all her strength, she pushed Ren Nan away, and the heavy corpse fell back on the ground with a bang. The knife inserted in Ren Nan's head was pushed out from his wide-open mouth by this push.

Lin Sanjiu covered her neck, and one hand was already blood-red. She panted heavily, kicked the corpse on the ground fiercely, and cursed in a hoarse voice: "...Who said I only evolved two characteristics?" Just saying this sentence made the severe pain in her throat unbearable.

Just after kicking, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell - the dizziness caused by blood loss came faster than she imagined. Forget about other things, it's most important to bandage the wound now. She staggered to find a towel and pressed it tightly on the wound. Gasping for breath, she sat down on the floor again and pressed the towel tightly with all her strength.

The harsh sound of police sirens echoed in the city; vaguely, accompanied by people's screams and cries - it made the 38th floor apartment even more silent and dead.

Half unconscious and half awake for a while, the bleeding finally stopped - it seems that Lin Sanjiu was not destined to die, and she did not hurt the artery after all. After resting for a while, she also accumulated some strength and barely supported herself to get up and drink some water.

As she put down the water glass and looked up, she saw Ren Nan's strange-shaped corpse still lying quietly on the floor.

Thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu dragged her soft body and moved to the side of the corpse. She tremblingly put a hand on the corpse and said in a hoarse voice, "Put it away for me."

As soon as the words fell, a flash of white light appeared in her palm, and the corpse with a sharp knife disappeared from the ground. With a "pop" sound, a playing card-sized card fell to the ground.

Lin Sanjiu took out her mobile phone and illuminated the card.

Just as she expected, the simple wax painting on the card drew a man with a wide-open mouth and a sharp knife in his head. There was also a line of bold characters at the bottom of the card: "Ren Nan's corpse."

[Ren Nan's corpse]

Name: Can't you read the card title?

Race: Human

Status: ...Dead

Potential value: 204

Suspect: Lin Sanjiu

Basic abilities: Extreme temperature adaptation, physical enhancement, body transformation

Advanced abilities: Hello everyone, nutritionist

"These are all what kind of things..." Lin Sanjiu stared at the card, not knowing what to say for a while. This strange thing was her third evolved ability, which just saved her life tonight.

- As long as she is willing, Lin Sanjiu can transform the items she touches into cards and store them in her body. When needed, just a thought, and the card will be restored to the original body on her palm.

Before, she deliberately grabbed a bone knife and threw the knife at Ren Nan, all to relax the other party's vigilance. The real killer was when Lin Sanjiu was bitten by him, and she struggled to put her hand behind his head. With a flash of thought, the "chef's knife" card hidden in Lin Sanjiu's body in the morning turned into a sharp knife and deeply penetrated Ren Nan's brain.

After several days of experimentation, Lin Sanjiu found that she can only convert items up to four times a day now.

Although she is no stranger to the cards she created, this card with such rich content is the first time Lin Sanjiu has seen it. She quickly turned over the [Ren Nan's corpse] and, as expected, the back of the card was filled with a dense mass of small characters:

Ren Nan, male, 28 years old, from another "new world". He has been introverted since he was a child and is not popular with girls. When he was in college, he actually received a confession from a male senior. After the new world came, he struggled to survive, and so on. In short, after coming to the world where the suspect Lin Sanjiu is located, Ren Nan ate a billionaire with a potential value of 2 and took over his property, approaching the suspect Lin Sanjiu on purpose. Just as he was about to eat Lin Sanjiu, he was killed by her.

"Why don't you say what should be said, and why do you call me 'suspect' again and again?" Lin Sanjiu was a little depressed and flicked this paragraph with her finger, and the text immediately disappeared, and another paragraph slid out and appeared on the card.

[Hello everyone] : In the vast sea of people, identify seeds with high potential value. Through intimate physical contact (kissing, hugging, etc.), this ability can stimulate the potential of ordinary people, making them evolve various abilities more quickly. As the saying goes, one takes advantage, and the other does not suffer.

[Nutritionist] : After eating a person, it will obtain the potential value, evolutionary ability, and physical quality of the food to the greatest extent. A balanced diet nutrition can ensure a better tomorrow.

Note: The chef's knife in the head is made in Germany, with a sharp blade, light and sturdy, and was purchased at Jingxi Mall for 599 yuan.

If it weren't for the "keen intuition" ability, Lin Sanjiu would think she was dreaming. She cursed in a low voice, holding the [Ren Nan's corpse] and didn't know what to do. She didn't want to put a corpse into her body, so she thought about it and put it in her pocket.

Ren Nan's card wrote his abilities so clearly, and she didn't know if her own card would also have abilities and introductions to the so-called "new world"? Although this is also an idea, Lin Sanjiu can't turn herself into a card - she turned her eyes, pulled out a hair, and said softly, "Put it away!"

A flash of white light, and another card appeared in her hand.

[Hair]

Owner: Lin Sanjiu

Hair quality: Black, healthy, slightly dry at the ends.

Use: It will be annoying to stick on a broom.

Note: According to the condition of the hair root, the owner of this hair may have hair loss around the age of 40.

Damn it. It's useless. Lin Sanjiu was depressed and waved her hand, and the white light flashed, and the hair disappeared into the dark.

A hot new world...? She was a little distracted.

Fifty-six degrees... Even someone like her who has evolved the "high-temperature adaptation" ability is almost unbearable, and she doesn't know what ordinary people will be like?

Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu shivered and jumped up from the sofa. Zhu Mei! How could she almost forget her friend!

Thinking that Zhu Mei might be in danger now, Lin Sanjiu didn't care that she was still a patient; she hurriedly found a backpack, rushed into the kitchen, and packed all the bottled water and beverages in the refrigerator into the bag. She changed into a light sportswear, found the key to open the emergency door of the apartment, and rushed into the dark stairwell.

Although it's just going downstairs, when Lin Sanjiu went down 38 floors in one breath, she was also a little out of breath. She wiped the sweat on her forehead, took a sip of water, and continued to walk to the negative first floor.

Ren Nan's car - or rather, the car of the person he ate - is parked on the negative first floor. Zhu Mei's home is 20 minutes away from here, and in such a high temperature, Lin Sanjiu doesn't plan to walk.

I didn't expect that as soon as she stepped into the parking lot, Lin Sanjiu almost fell over by the heat wave that hit her face.

Looking at the parking lot in front of her, Lin Sanjiu turned off the flashlight on her mobile phone.

There is no need for a flashlight here.

At this time, every car parked in the parking space has its headlights on, and they are all in a state of ignition - the "roaring" sound of the engine is magnified dozens of times by the echo, filling the entire parking lot. Hundreds of exhaust pipes are emitting hot air, making the semi-closed parking lot a real oven, at least three or four degrees higher than the outside.

Everyone who can come to the parking lot has come. In the case of a city power outage, people who can't stand the harsh high temperature have all taken refuge in cars - now only the air conditioning in the car can be started.

After just two steps in such a hot air, Lin Sanjiu felt her clothes soaked with sweat. In the cars she passed, every window was a face of fear and strangeness: some people were trying to make phone calls; some people couldn't help but hold their children and cry; some people were sleeping, and it's not clear whether they were dehydrated on the way to the parking lot. Some people are staring at her in surprise, seemingly unable to understand how she still has the strength to walk.

Despite being surrounded by the cold air of the car, many people's faces are still shrouded in a faint sense of despair. The air conditioning in the car is just delaying the time. Once the oil and electricity are used up, with the terrifying high temperature outside the car, it is estimated that no one in this parking lot can survive.

Lin Sanjiu is very clear that she has no ability to help these people in the car - her backpack only has five bottles of mineral water, three cans of cola, and a few band-aids. With so little water, she doesn't know when to insist. Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu endured her compassion, looked straight ahead all the way, and found the familiar Audi, and got into the car as if escaping.

After thinking about it, she still didn't turn on the air conditioning, just opened the window. Anyway, she won't die from high temperature, at most it's a bit uncomfortable, it's better to save this precious oil and electricity for Zhu Mei - Lin Sanjiu wiped the sweat, started the steering wheel, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Compared with the underground steamer in the parking lot, the 56° air outside also made Lin Sanjiu feel a little better. The streets are empty, and there are almost no cars running - probably everyone is reluctant to waste precious oil and electricity.

The cars parked on both sides of the street are almost the same as in that parking lot, in a state of ignition; the people in the car are enjoying the last bit of cold air with fear and despair.

Just as Lin Sanjiu sped past a red Mazda, a dark shadow suddenly flew high from the right, "bang" a muffled sound, and slammed hard on the door of the Audi.
