Chapter 8: Oops, It's Dawn

In evolutionary humanity, there is an unwritten convention not to inquire about other people's abilities.

Because the evolved abilities are very peculiar and beyond imagination, every inconspicuous ability may become a hole card to save one's life, so naturally, no one wants to expose the hole cards to others.

Even if it wasn't forced to do so, even using one's abilities in front of others became taboo.

Lu Ze had already mentioned this to Lin Sanjiu - then why did Marser make such a request?

"Don't get me wrong," Marser smiled, probably feeling that something was wrong. She is no longer young, and a few faint lines appeared when she smiled like this: "At my current level, I can't know your advanced ability, I can only analyze some basic numbers." It is also good for you to know your basic number jù...... Of course, it's all up to you. Let's try it? ”

"Good!" Lin Sanjiu happily responded and stretched out his arm. "I'm sure you don't mean it."

- Besides, when she was entangled with the depraved seed for a long time just now, she and Lu Ze both revealed their abilities. Neither of them is stupid, and if they can guess Lu Ze's approximate ability, then Lu Ze must have already made an estimate of his ability, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

The tip of the hard nail shone with a cold metallic light, and with a light touch on Lin Sanjiu's arm, the tip of the nail smoothly sank into the skin as if it had been invited—she had just felt a slight pain, and Marser had already withdrawn her nail and said with a smile, "Okay." ”

She dropped a round drop of blood into the palm of her hand, and the bead disappeared instantly, and Marser closed her eyes. Lin Sanjiu looked at it again, the incision on his arm was too subtle, and the bleeding had already stopped.

"Marser's abilities are still relatively rudimentary, so reading your number jù may be a little slower......" Lu Ze explained as if he was a little embarrassed, "All advanced abilities will be slowly upgraded in use, you will know later." ”

Lin Sanjiu thought of his weird ability.

That is, these broken cards will also be upgraded? What will it become? At the very least, she should be allowed to transform items without restrictions...... right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the fact that she had collected the iron door twice - although the second time only lasted a short second or two, but I wonder if today's limit was also used up? Looks like we'll have to find a suitable opportunity to experiment with it......

While waiting for Marser to read the count, Lin Sanjiu chatted with Lu Zetian out of curiosity - after all, he had seen two more new worlds than her, and many experiences were unheard of for her, and she was amazed for a while, amused for a while, and worried for a while. Lu Ze probably hadn't chatted with someone so freely for a long time, and the two got a lot closer for a while.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, when I looked at Marser again, she was still the same as before, her eyes were closed, and she didn't say a word.

"How long will it take Marser to read the number jù?" Lin Sanjiu finally asked.

"Uh...... Looks like it's going to take at least an hour or two. Luzer looked a little embarrassed. It didn't seem to take that long for Marser to analyze his counts before......

"So long?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She then bent down and looked up at the sky outside the window—the darkness of the night had faded considerably, and there was even a faint gray in the east. Sitting back in place, her face tinged with concern.

"What's wrong? Why do you have this face? ”

"It's going to dawn." Lin Sanjiu muttered and turned his head to look at Lu Ze. "It was already so hot at night, and as soon as the sun came out, the car was just basking in the sun...... What will the temperature look like then? ”

Lu Ze was dumbfounded by her question, and the two looked at each other - Lin Sanjiu rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little tiredly: "In two hours, I'm afraid we will all become ducks in the oven." ”

Although the car has enough fuel and electricity to support the air conditioning for a while, the coolness is so fragile under the fierce heat of the outside world - and this is only at night. The poor air conditioner in the car, even if the cord burns out, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the scorching sun during the day......

"Are you familiar with this area, is there anything you can do?" Lu Ze's relaxed expression couldn't help but be a little heavy.

There really is a way. Near this apartment community is one of the most expensive shopping malls in the city. The building itself has lost its value because of the high tropical plant forest in the center of the mall, and the ceiling is made of transparent tempered glass for the sake of a natural visual effect. In the past, it was nice to walk around the greenery with the sun on your shoulders, but now it's deadly.

However, on the basement floor of the shopping mall, there is a vast imported supermarket. Without direct sunlight, there is still plenty of water......

As soon as Lin Sanjiu told the situation in the center, Lu Ze suddenly became excited: "Supermarket! That's great! You don't know, Mather and I haven't eaten anything in over a year! In the last new world, we ate compressed biscuits, marching rations, and even the bark of trees when things were bad. Oops, that constipation is uncomfortable, and it seems like he has a stone in his stomach......"

Lin Sanjiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him-Lu Ze suddenly realized that he had spoken again, and coughed embarrassedly: "You're right, none of us know how much the temperature will rise during the day, so we should really plan early." ”

After discussing softly, the two quickly made a decision: first drive the car to the entrance of the shopping mall, find a shady place to stop, and then Lu Ze carried Marser on his back and went down to the supermarket together. The food section of the imported supermarket occupies a large part of the area, and with the stock in the warehouse, it should be more than enough to supply rations for 3 people. And the location of the supermarket is ideal - if you're lucky, you might be able to settle down in the supermarket and use it as a base for a smooth year......

Lin Sanjiu also knew that she might be a little too optimistic, and the actual situation would probably not be so ideal—but she never expected that even the first step in the plan, "coming to the gate of the center", seemed to be an almost impossible task at the moment.

The shopping mall is strategically located right on the main road in the heart of the city. This small area in the vicinity is known as the city that never sleeps, with a bright night and constant traffic. As it happens, this month is the "5th anniversary" of the shopping mall, and it is open 24 hours a day throughout the month.

When the temperature soared last night, the first thought of countless people was to escape here to cool off.

At this time, the cars on the main road squeezed into a long dragon with a rumbling sound, pushing Lin Sanjiu and their car far to the end; And every car that can still start is in a starting state - squinting in the direction of the shopping mall, you can only vaguely see the place where the fountain in front of the main entrance is densely packed with people lying on the ground.

It seems that it is impossible to drive over - Lin Sanjiu slapped the steering wheel hard, intending to reverse. However, when she looked up, she noticed that in the midst of a short period of time, a new car appeared in the rearview mirror, blocking their Audi firmly in the middle of the traffic.

"It's been a few hours since the power went out, why are people still coming in this direction?"

In the midst of countless hot engines, the disadvantages of a broken window are revealed: the pitiful cool air from the air conditioner cannot withstand the heat surging through the cracks in the window - Lu Ze's white skin has begun to gradually appear red, somehow more like a rabbit.

Lin Sanjiu sighed: "Probably trying to escape from the city...... This is a main road, and from here you can get on several intercity highways. Let's wait, the car behind will have to go—"

But in just two sentences, several new cars were added to the tail of the car dragon - the first one first noticed that the situation in front was wrong, and I don't know if it was panicked, but there was no warning at all, and as soon as he turned the steering wheel, he walked back, and suddenly crashed into the front of the car coming from behind, and immediately rolled up a thick smoke.

Lin Sanjiu exclaimed in a low voice, and then cursed a foul word. The car that went back and crashed into it was a Land Rover, and at this moment its huge body was smashed horizontally, blocking half of the road firmly - plus the front of the other car was destroyed, and it seemed that it could not move, and this time, the way back was completely cut off.

A car that had just driven in the distance immediately turned a corner in a panic and ran away.

Except for Mather, who didn't know anything about his body, the two people in the car sighed. What else can be done now? I had to abandon the car and walk.

The sky turned duck egg blue, and although it wasn't as bright as during the day, visibility was no longer a problem.

"How much water do we have?" Lu Ze licked his dry, flaky lips, not without concern.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the backpack - in fact, she knew that there was not a single bottle of mineral water in the bag, only three cans of unopened Coke, which were still hot when she touched it.

Considering the physical condition of the two, she threw a can of Coke over: "There are exactly three cans left, drink it!" Replenish some water and sugar—we'll be able to consume a lot in a while. ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Ze opened it and just took a sip, but he was stunned, and asked while burping, "What is this?" It turned out that in his original world, there was no Coca-Cola Company. Seeing that he smacked his lips and drank all the drinks, Lin Sanjiu also threw away the empty can in his hand and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Luzer nodded.

She took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car—the air, which seemed to be dozens of times hotter than before, slammed into her face.

=========================== author himself has been wandering outside lately, and he will not return until the end of the month. So hurry up and surprise me...... If you come back and find out, wow, the collection is more than a thousand, how happy, right?

Well, I'm from a dream and haven't woken up yet, you bite me?
