Doomsday Wonderland

With a "crash", the rolling shutter door hit the ground heavily. He squatted down and locked it. This ordinary door can only tell others that the store is closed, and has no effect on preventing evolutionary thieves - Lin Sanjiu is sure that she can punch a hole through it with just one punch.

"Everything that the store couldn't take away, all the business money was taken away." When Changzhi was leading the way for her, it seemed to be aware of her eyes looking around: "It's very safe here during the day, but no matter where it is dark, it always seems to be there. You evolved people are worried."

As the night got darker, many shops also closed their doors; one wooden house was folded inward dozens of times by its owner, and finally turned into a thick pile and carried away. The lights that were still in business in twos and threes illuminated the streets in half-darkness, making them feel in a trance; at some point, round streetlights slowly rose in the sky. The street lamps shed orange light from mid-air, floating slowly along with the footsteps of pedestrians. The two people's shadows were stretched out on the road, and the shadows stretched straight to the end without touching the third person's heels.

"Don't look at these streets that are deserted," said the cracked girl, who was a very conscientious guide. "Next, we have to change the place to be lively - another way to be lively."

"How to say?"

"'The only thing you can't find here is lack itself.'" Changzu shrugged, "Although the black market has almost everything, some things are suitable for being put in the public eye, and some are only suitable for being left alone in the middle of the night. On the street corner.”

"But what I want to buy is a house..." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but interrupt.

"That's right," Changzhu said matter-of-factly, "Because it's a house, you have to buy it quietly in the middle of the night. Isn't that why you came to ask about it when it was about to close?"

What's the point of this?

At 1:25 in the morning, Lin Sanjiu, who was full of doubts, followed a degenerate through half of Black Market and walked into a neighborhood with floating lights and shadows.

The street lights suddenly became sparse and no longer followed people; the neon lights and geometric lights dyed the night into various colors, jumping and flickering in the air with a frenzy like excessive energy.

If that area of ​​the street had fallen into a deep sleep just now, then this place has just woken up. Several evolvers yawned as they climbed up to a building and peeled off its outer skin bit by bit from the top - it was a thick skin several meters thick with textured pores, as if the entire building All were put into a big skin bag. In fact, if it hadn't been for a long introduction, it would have been difficult for her to tell that this was actually a building; because its exposed body was ruddy and breathing together.

"It needs to put on this layer of skin before sunrise and enter a resting state." Perhaps seeing Lin Sanjiu's interest, the cracked girl stopped: "It will peel it off at night. This building is very popular with young people. , you will be able to see its carnival on the way back soon."

As the two of them continued to walk forward, there were gradually more and more figures in the streets and alleys. Men and women dressed in various costumes leaned against the wall, sat on the road, or wandered unsteadily; they passed a lighted paper roll between each other, and there was an occasional burst of laughter amidst the clinking of wine bottles.

A woman of Lin Sanjiu's height naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way; but no one glanced at her for long, as if the mask on her face made her invisible. The eyes of those young people passed through its body without any hindrance, just like passing through the air.

"You just said that this building is very popular among young people." Lin Sanjiu looked at the back of the cracked woman's head as she walked. From the rear, it looked basically the same as a human woman; its dark brown hair lay smoothly on its shoulders, and the ends were simply cut with a knife.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I've thought of a question." Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You must be a young man too, right?"

The cracked woman walked for a while without saying a word, and after a while, she heard a "hmm".

"How old are you?"

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and pointed to a tavern-like door not far away and introduced: "Did you see those two tightly closed red doors? That's a relatively famous flower shop in this neighborhood. . If you visit a flower shop, be sure to choose a place with a good reputation; not only are the flowers tamed, but they also regularly remove their glands and teeth, so the risk is very low."

As soon as it finished speaking, the two narrow red doors opened, and a man opened the short curtain and walked out with a red face. He seemed to have had a few bones removed, his body was weak and his eyes were blurred; but with a strange sense of satisfaction on his face, he walked away with heavy steps like muddy water.

Lin Sanjiu glanced at it and changed the subject: "What is that place for? I don't see that man holding flowers in his hands."

"Flowers are service tools," Changzu led her into an alley. "I've heard a little bit about what they do specifically, but it's hard to say. One is that I've never been in it, and the other is that the black market has created a lot of things for humans that were not available before. fresh desires, and then developed industry chains to satisfy these desires. I don’t know which one the man satisfied when he went to the flower shop just now. If you want to know, you can go in and try."

Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and decided to flip a coin to decide whether to go in or not - when money is no longer a threshold, everything in this world becomes a pure, self-serving experience.

At nearly two o'clock in the morning, she found herself following Changzu into a men's room.

"Wait a minute," she began to wonder if she wasn't wary enough of this degenerate species, "I want to buy a house."

"I know, you've said it several times."

The cracked woman glanced at her behind the mask, then walked to a closed cubicle and knocked twice.

"Who is it?" A young man used his own voice to interpret what the four words "idle and idle" mean, "He's taking a shit!"

The cracked girl seemed to hesitate suddenly for some reason.

It held the mask on its face, and then its palms suddenly hit the door panel like raindrops, and a burst of intense "ta-ta-da" sounds erupted - Lin Sanjiu finally saw this type of girl with a slit. Ability: In less than a second, it hit the door panel at least a hundred times, and each hit landed on the same point, quickly making a small dent.

"coming!"

The man cursed and opened the door. Taking a long, swift step, he stepped aside.

Lin Sanjiu glanced at his lower body, and was pleased to realize that he hadn't even unbuttoned his pants just now, and the toilet seat behind him was also closed - in fact, this cubicle was almost like a small office: the walls were covered with There were many documents-like pieces of paper nailed to the tacks, the toilet was used as a chair, and there were several small iron boxes piled on the floor.

Although the man who opened the door had a round face, his eye circles and face had a layer of gray and black, as if he had never had a good night's sleep since he was born. From that pointed nose, it was impossible to tell what race he was. There are too many people in the Twelve Realms who cannot identify their race, so it is not surprising. However, Lin Sanjiu suddenly heard Teacher Yi grunting, took half a step forward and looked at him carefully, and was immediately surprised: "You are not Evolver!"

"What are you doing?" Pointy Nose scratched his round face impatiently, without even looking at him like the others on the road just now. "Who are you? Have you never met ordinary people?"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but looked at him curiously: "It turns out there are survivors in Biluo Huangquan... No, that's not right, you are too young."

The old world in the past has ended seventy years ago, but the man in front of me looks like he is less than thirty years old. Ordinary people cannot be teleported from other worlds, so to speak——

"You are a very simple person," Pointy Nose rolled his eyes. He made a circle with one hand, extended his index finger with the other hand, and made a very inelegant gesture in and out. There was no smile on his face: "Don't you know? No matter what time it is, people will inevitably Do something like this. If you do it, you will inevitably have a baby. UUReadingwww.uukanshu.net Once you have a baby, you will—hey, are you here to see me for menstrual hygiene? "

Lin Sanjiu glanced at Chang Zu. The guide suddenly became very quiet, and she had to say: "I came... to buy a house."

Standing in the men's room and saying that she wanted to buy a house, it was so fantastic that she suspected that she had fallen into a prank.

The sharp nose paused and suddenly lowered his voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" A look like that of a neighborhood committee aunt who was keen to worry about others appeared on his face, which was very different from the look just now: "Come on, don't be stunned. , come in quickly! Didn’t you chat with anyone on the way? Did you tell anyone that you wanted to buy a house? "

He almost didn't ask, "Have you been followed?" Lin Sanjiu blinked and saw Changzu nodded towards her. After thinking for a while, he finally walked into the cubicle full of suspicion: "What's going on?"

Pointy Nose immediately bolted the door and put his ear against the door to listen for a while. Lin Sanjiu's hearing was much better than his, and he had already heard that there was no one outside except Changzhu. However, he seemed to trust his ears more, and after a while he turned around and nodded to her: "I am Di Mo. Real estate agent around here.”

These two questions, "Why do you work in the toilet?" and "Why are you so sneaky about buying a house?" gnawed at Lin Sanjiu like moths, to the point where she didn't know which one to ask first.

"Don't worry, I believe this area is safe." Di Mo said with a serious face, "I just moved to this new address, and the gossip I sent out is only valid for three days. You... the guide you found is quite knowledgeable. , you found the right one. I won’t ask you for your name, just tell me a pseudonym. Come on, tell me, what kind of house are you looking for? "

Lin Sanjiu stared at him and began to wonder if the "house" was another name for poison in the twelve realms.
