No.

Nowhere else.

The wind on the top floor kept blowing Ji Shanqing, and the coolness of the night soon made his cheeks cold and numb; He craned his neck again to look into the distance, but all that fell into his eyes was the ruins of a ruined and barren city.

Countless cars were frozen in the moment of the rampage, stuck in the broken mall gates, smashed power poles, dozens of cars crashed together, and melted into a large piece of iron by the fire; The torn and torn advertisements were hunting in the wind, and the bloodstains and burnt black after the fire became the main color of the city.

Farther away, buildings collapsed one after another. Several massive aircraft fuselages were still embedded in the building, covered in a thick layer of smoke and dust.

This was the first time Ji Shanqing had seen the real human apocalypse, and after the initial dazedness and shock had subsided, he began to faintly feel anxious - because he was on the periphery of the community, and he did not see any shadow of "large-scale precautionary measures".

In fact, as several planes crashed into the area, the nearby high-rise buildings were broken and collapsed one by one, and this old-fashioned neighborhood of only 10 stories became the highest point; Standing on the top floor, Ji Shanqing had already taken in everything around him, but he still didn't see the slightest trace of precautionary measures or even human activities.

That is to say, the worst guess of the master is likely to be true......

"What am I talking about," as he floated this thought, Lin Sanjiu suddenly let out a self-deprecating sneer from his side: "...... There was something wrong with those two people. It's not a base to protect civilians from the Evolvers. ”

There was still a slight gasp in her voice, I don't know if it was because she had just gone up to the tenth floor in one breath. Or is it caused by the agitation of the mood; While speaking, Lin Sanjiu waved his hand and tried to call [Flat World] again.

Under the tight gaze of the two, the phantom of a card flashed in her palm; However, before their eyes lit up, the phantom suddenly disappeared like a bubble, leaving only Lin Sanjiu's pale palm.

Unwillingly, she called several times in a row, but she didn't call out anything again, and even the shadow no longer appeared.

A low beast-like roar came out, and the tall woman immediately buried her face in her hands and fell on the railing of the top floor—"What should I do?" All, all of my abilities are gone! ”

Ji Shanqing only felt that his mouth was bitter. The seriousness of the problem was also realized.

…… Lin Sanjiu lost. It's not just a flat world.

The reason why evolutionaries have physical qualities beyond ordinary people is because they have generated basic abilities such as [Physical Strength Amplification] and [Eagle Eye]; On top of the basic abilities, there are advanced abilities like [Flat World] and [Shining Dings on the Edge of the Sky].

…… Once he didn't have these abilities, Lin Sanjiu would be no different from a most ordinary, unevolved person. If anything, I really want to say. She has gone through countless combat exercises. At the moment, it will be stronger and faster than normal people. It's about the same as an athlete, but it's still not out of the realm of "ordinary people".

"Don't worry," Ji Shanqing comforted her. While thinking quickly in his head: "...... Isn't my ability still there? This shows that there is something in this community or world that can only affect human beings, not objects. We just need to find out this factor, and we will definitely be able to recover our ability......"

Although the words were true, even he himself was not very sure—for he had privately thought several times about what had happened in just a few hours tonight, and still did not notice anything suspicious.

It's just that these words immediately ignited a glimmer of hope for Lin Sanjiu, she raised her head suddenly, and grabbed his arm with excitement: "Yes! Let's go back to the two of Meadow! ”

Her nails sank deep into Ji Shanqing's skin, clutching him painfully. Although Ji Shanqing faintly felt that it was not a good idea to go back, he just looked at the appearance of his master at this time, and had no choice but to nod. Lin Sanjiu didn't seem to see or care about his reaction at all, so he turned around and rushed out of the building.

Sighing, before leaving, Ji Shanqing took one last glance at the human ruins in the distance.

I always feel that something is not right, like something is missing......

He had just frowned, and before he could trace the thoughts that flashed in his mind, he heard Lin Sanjiu behind him cry impatiently: "You keep up!" ”

"It's coming," Ji Shanqing hurriedly responded, the thoughts just now were put aside, and he went downstairs with her.

This building, like several other residential buildings, was filled with tall cardboard boxes in every dark corridor, and a sour smell of sweat floated in the air. Fortunately, the [Ability Polish] was called out and never went back—of course, it can't be taken back now—so Ji Shanqing carried it in his hand, illuminating a small piece of foothold in front of him, and helping Lin Sanjiu forward.

In the silent corridor, only the footsteps of two people were squirming forward, and the surroundings seemed even quieter.

So when a sudden scream tore through the air, both of them were startled; Before he could react, he heard an anti-theft door slammed and shook with a heavy "clang", as if someone behind the door was desperately slamming the door - and then, one after another, a heartbreaking, as if extremely sad cry, penetrated the eardrums of the two of them rudely, and echoed in the corridor for a while.

"What's going on," Seeing that the people inside would not be able to get out for a while, Ji Shanqing frowned, and quickly quickened his pace to leave the door, "...... Is there someone dead in the family? ”

He didn't hear a reply, and glanced back at his master.

I don't know if it's because of the light of the [Ability Polish], at this moment, Lin Sanjiu's face was pale, and a pair of eyes were staring at him with a bit of blankness, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

It looks like ...... She suddenly forgot what was going on.

"Sister, are you okay?"

In the deafening screaming screams. Ji Shanqing endured the panic that suddenly came up, and asked softly.

Lin Sanjiu blinked, then bit his lip and shook his head. The next second, as if it was strange that he would ask such a question, she pushed him: "Hurry up." ”

"Okay—"

However, as soon as the two of them were about to move, Ji Shanqing's heart jumped suddenly, and then he put the [Ability Polish] into his coat; Holding the things in his arms tightly, while trying to block the light leaking from the corners of his clothes, he turned around and hurriedly whispered to Lin Sanjiu: "-Go back!" Go back upstairs! ”

Lin Sanjiu's shoulder shook, and he didn't know what was going on. I could only tug at his sleeve in confusion. The footsteps hurriedly followed him and retreated upstairs—the two had just climbed the stairs when they heard a sound of people from far and near, and a round spot of light flickering from far and near.

"So someone came." Lin Sanjiu lay in Ji Shanqing's ear, with a very low and extremely low voice. Said blankly. “…… I didn't hear it at all. ”

…… Even the gift pack itself doesn't know why. Suddenly, for no reason, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"He started screaming again." A man's voice rang out clearly from downstairs, accompanied by his almost inaudible swift footsteps: "...... It's annoying. ”

"Wait," the other female voice laughed with interest. Just when Ji Shanqing was wondering what she was going to do, she only heard the anti-theft iron door being kicked so hard that it shook twice, and then her soft voice floated up: "Xuanxuan, if you cry again, your mother won't want you." ”

It was like some kind of spiritual spell, and the crying stopped abruptly, turning into a violent sobbing that could not be controlled for a while.

Because the howl just now was too sharp, Ji Shanqing didn't even hear whether the other party was male or female, let alone how old he was; He was puzzled when he heard the man and woman turn around and walk upstairs again.

Suddenly, he quickly poked Lin Sanjiu; In the darkness, he felt that his master's movements were slow and sluggish, and he was so anxious that he had to push her back—but fortunately, the man and woman downstairs walked unhurriedly, and when they had gone up another floor, the man and woman had just reached the floor where they had just been.

If you go further up, you will soon be on the top floor. Ji Shanqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and thought.

He could clearly feel that the two people who suddenly appeared were evolutionaries.

Although I don't know what their strength is, but with their current combat strength like a thin mud, a level that can't even be called a thin mud, once the other party has bad intentions, I am afraid that the two of them will never be lucky.

The nerves tensed and tightened with the footsteps of the man and woman; Just when Ji Shanqing felt that she was about to lose control of her heartbeat, the woman suddenly spoke: "...... 806, here it is. ”

Fortunately, fortunately, Ji Shanqing silently congratulated in his heart.

From the duo who had only heard his voice and never seen him, the man took a step forward and knocked lightly on the door of 806, and his voice seemed to have changed: "Sister Cui, you open the door, I am Xiaohu." ”

As soon as his words fell, the hallway was as quiet as death.

Ji Shanqing passed by twice before 806, and didn't realize that there were still people in it - it sounds like no one lives in it now.

The woman muttered in a low voice, "Shameless." As if it wasn't strange at all, the man said through the crack in the door again: "Sister Cui, I went to ask you about what you told me last time." ”

Almost the next second when he had just cut off the conversation, the door of the wooden room in 806 squeaked open.

"Xiao, Xiaohu," a thick female voice with a strong accent and slurred words defended with a bit of fear and anticipation, "I ...... I was asleep and didn't hear you knock on the door. What's going on? ”

"You open the door first, and we'll go in and talk," the man obviously didn't listen to her muttering at all, "this is my colleague, don't be afraid." ”

"Eh, okay," with the "click" of the anti-theft door lock, this Cui eldest sister opened the door with some embarrassment - and then only heard a "goo", and there was no movement in the corridor downstairs.

Ji Shanqing was stunned, and couldn't help but glance back at Lin Sanjiu; I just wanted to ask her what was going on right now, but I immediately shut up.

…… By the dim light of the flashlight downstairs, he could barely see that the master was crouching on the staircase steps, holding his knees tightly with one hand and nibbling his nails with the other in his mouth.

Ji Shanqing lowered his eyelids, didn't say anything, and turned his head again.

There was a rustling sound downstairs, and it sounded like something heavy was being dragged away—and after thinking about it, he was still bold, poked his head out and glanced at it quickly, and then quickly shrank back.

In his eyes, which were so fast that he even shook the scene, he saw nothing useful, and only vaguely saw a large open door, a bald head with layers of flesh on the back of his neck, and ...... The eyes of a short-haired woman.

When he realized this, Ji Shanqing was cold.

"Hey, I just saw someone upstairs." With some doubt, the woman spoke downstairs.

"Isn't that too normal?" The man replied, "There's a human in this building." ”

The woman muttered for a few seconds, "...... It doesn't seem right, it's not like we know each other. ”

"Then you can go up and have a look!" The man replied impatiently, "But hurry up, there's still a lot of work to do." ”

Just when Ji Shan's green hair suddenly got up, turned around and desperately pushed Lin Sanjiu a few times, urging her to leave quickly, the sound of women's leather shoes downstairs stopped again.

"Forget it," she didn't seem to be able to get up to the stairs to check on it, "you're right, could there be more people?" ”

Ji Shanqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and suddenly didn't dare to move anymore, and hurriedly grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist who had just stood up - he was nested in his body at the moment, and the [Ability Polish] was sandwiched between his chest and abdomen, and he had to maintain a very uncomfortable posture for fear of the light spilling out, and soon sweat broke out on his forehead.

The sound of "rustling" became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the corridor completely together with the flashlight in the hands of the man and woman. Ji Shanqing's body shrunk into a ball, and he didn't dare to make any movements for a long time; After waiting for nearly ten minutes, seeing that he could no longer hear the sound downstairs, he exhaled, took out the [Ability Polish] from his clothes, and stood up.

Lin Sanjiu, who was beside him, suddenly turned his head backwards slowly, almost stiffly, in a piece of silver light.

Ji Shanqing's whole body suddenly trembled, and he slowly turned his gaze.

The face of a strange middle-aged woman was quietly hanging on the back of Ji Shanqing's head. A streak of blood slipped down her forehead, and her eyes were half-squinted, as if she was still thinking about something.

…… Sister Cui.

"You girl is very cautious," the woman who called herself "Mom" just now smiled softly above his head, "we both watched you here for ten minutes before you stood up...... Well, is this your friend? ”

"That's good, you both look young and firm, with evenly ...... fat," said the bald head, licking his lips. (To be continued.) )
