Chapter 15: Kong Yun
Almost instantly, the three of them had jumped up from the ground.
didn't even use it for half a second, Lin Sanjiu flipped his palm, firmly held the chef's knife, and asked sharply: "Who?" β
Her clear voice fell into the darkness with a murderous intent.
"Ah...... Don't be nervous, it's me, I'm Kong Yun downstairs. β
This came from the dimly lit hallway in front of the nanny's room. Kong Yun's voice sounded a little tired, but also quite relieved: "Great, it turns out that you have a flashlight here." Without waiting for the invitation of the three people in the room, he walked in.
Flashlight? Where did it come from?
Immediately, the three of them realized what Kong Yun was referring to, and they suddenly secretly complained in their hearts.
The ability grinder seemed to be so bright that even Kong Yun, who was in the emergency door, could see the light - at this time, only to hear Kong Yun's slow footsteps from the direction of the emergency door, Marser was in a hurry, and kicked the ability grinder towards the sofa. The small bottle turned into countless points of light before it hit the couch, quickly blending into the couch, and the room suddenly went dark.
"Huh? Why did you turn off the flashlight, I can't see it-" Kong Yun said with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Sanjiu frowned slightly, had an idea, and hurriedly said, "That was my mobile phone just now, and now it's out of battery...... Sister Kong, didn't we let you wait at home? Why did you come up? After a pause, her doubts surfaced: "By the way, how do you know I live here?" β
While she was talking, she put her hand on the corpse's lap, and the ground was empty with a white light.
As soon as the card was pinched into his hand, Kong Yun was already touching the dark and walked into the living room. The moment her footsteps stepped into the living room, Luzer lit the lighter.
In the orange-red light, Kong Yun looked a little wolfy: her face and body were covered with a layer of wet sweat, and strands of hair stuck to her forehead. Feeling the gaze of several people, she smiled embarrassedly at Lin Sanjiu: "The security guard sued me before, saying that you two are the owners of the top floor. Your house is so high that I was tired enough to climb up from the 26th floor......"
Although it has evolved, before the physical fitness has been strengthened, not everyone has a good body like Lin Sanjiu.
She didn't seem to be out of the ordinary.
Lin Sanjiu put down the knife at this time, still remembering the piece of paper that fell on the ground in his heart, and pulled out a smile: "Sister Kong, is there anything wrong with you coming up?" β
"It's nothing," Kong Yun looked a little embarrassed, "I'm just staying at home alone, my husband is gone, and I'm scared in ......my heart."
It's not that this is incomprehensible - the three of them glanced at each other, and Lu Ze suddenly showed a row of small white teeth at her, and said with a smile: "Sister Kong, it just so happens that you came up, and we don't have to go down and call you for a while." You see, we brought some water and rice just so that we could cook some porridge and drink it...... Would you like to eat some of them as well? β
Lin Sanjiu clapped his hands in his heart - this reason is good! Otherwise, it doesn't feel natural for three people to gather in the living room without doing anything.
Kong Yun was obviously stunned, glanced at the rice, and then smiled: "That's good!" Although this rice is not suitable for porridge, it is quite good. Rest, let me do it! β
"Okay, I'll give you a hand." As soon as Marser picked up the bag of rice, he headed for the kitchen.
Kong Yun seemed to be unable to resist Martha's curiosity in the end, and hurriedly followed, and asked as he walked: "You speak Chinese so well, where are you from......?"
Seeing the two talking, they entered the kitchen and began to prepare to make porridge, when Lu Ze quietly handed a hard thing to Lin Sanjiu. It turned out that he didn't know when he picked up all the pieces of paper on the ground.
"By the way, this ......" As soon as Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth, the young man interrupted her: "Go back and say." β
"Go back? You mean not going to take her back to the supermarket? Lin Sanjiu reacted quickly.
It seemed to be a subconscious sentence, Lu Ze didn't think much about it, and frowned when he heard this, his face was full of embarrassment. - Indeed, without Kong Yun, it seems that it is not very kind to throw her outside, a newly evolved person with little ability; But a few people really don't have the kind of trust that they have experienced in life and death for her, and it is not suitable to bring her back to the supermarket.
"Let's take a look again, maybe people have their own ideas, and we don't need to decide for her." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at Lu Ze's wrinkled face, and said a word of comfort.
It seems that Kong Yun is usually in charge of the spoon at home, although there is no light, it does not hinder her neat movements - she chops two packets of vacuum brine chicken into small pieces, adds a little seasoning, and boils them with the porridge for half an hour, and a fragrance fills the air.
Lu Ze, who hadn't eaten for more than a year, suddenly filled his mouth with saliva.
"Come on, you can eat!"
Placing the porridge pot on the table, Marser found a few pairs of cutlery and made four bowls of porridge. The porridge that has just come out of the pot is steaming, and the snow-white rice grains reflect the bright light in the light of the lighter. A few people were blowing the wind and stirring with spoons, and finally when they were ready to eat, they couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful.
Although the porridge is hot, it is not uncomfortable to eat - a refreshing warm current enters the stomach, and the sweet and salty taste of chicken porridge remains between the lips, teeth and tongue. Calculate the time, in fact, Lin Sanjiu had only eaten a more delicious salmon less than 24 hours ago, but somehow, this chicken porridge after the destruction of the world tasted like a world away.
Marser took a sip of porridge and asked Kong Yun quietly, "...... Yesterday you were all by yourself, how did you live? β
Because Lu Ze wanted to eat, he had already put the lighter aside, so in the dark, he couldn't really see Kong Yun's expression. I only heard her say in a gloomy tone: "I've been looking for my husband since I got up in the middle of the night." The phone couldn't get through, and the security guard downstairs also fainted. I drove out a few times and saw a lot of people walking around the street like crazy, and I was so scared that I came back immediately. It was so hot in the morning that I hid in my bathroom and fell asleep...... I don't know how my husband is doing now. β
"That'...... Have you ever noticed anything different from your usual position? β
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask.
"Ahh What's different from usual...... I didn't find out. What are you referring to? Kong Yun seemed to be a little surprised, and knocked the spoon on the bowl.
Maybe her advanced abilities haven't developed yet. Lin Sanjiu thought about it, if he wanted to explain something like a new world or an evolved person, he was afraid that it would have to wait until the advanced ability was developed to be more convincing. So she smiled: "It's nothing, it's a long story, we'll tell you later." By the way, what are your plans for a while? β
Kong Yun didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "I'm going home and waiting for my husband until he comes back." Maybe he'll be back when he can't see me, and he'll be in a hurry. By the way, let's eat faster, I'd like to ask you to take a picture of my husband in a while, and if you meet him outside, remember to ask him to come home to me......"
Between her words, she didn't seem to realize that if she kept waiting, she would lack food and water, and eventually die.
It's not that she's not aware of it, I'm afraid, but she's willing to take the riskβeven if there's only a glimmer of hope.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly sank. After half a ring, Lin Sanjiu said, "...... Well, if you're short of food, we'll bring you some. β
She didn't want to break this woman's pillar so quickly. The loss of hope, as harsh as the environment outside, is just as deadly for humans.
Kong Yun thanked him gratefully.
A small pot of porridge was quickly eaten; With Kong Yun's words just now, the three of them didn't delay, packed up their things and followed her downstairs.
There are two households on each floor below the top floor, and the other one on the 26th floor seems to have been empty, so the door was not locked when Kong Yun left, and it opened as soon as he pushed it.
As soon as the three of them entered the house, they were all stunned.
The house is very tastefully decorated, and it is very bright at the moment. Dining tables, coffee tables, and flower stands are filled with beautiful candlesticks, large and smallβeach of which is lit with several beautifully carved cream candles. The flaming red candlelight and faint fragrance filled the living room, and it was as beautiful as a dream.
Surrounded by candlelight, Kong Yun smiled shyly, her eyes glistening.
"My husband bought these candles on his wedding anniversary. As soon as I got home that day, I saw that the house was full of candles, and he had cooked for me with his own hands......" Her voice stopped, and she pulled her hair and found a few picture frames as if nothing had happened.
"After the anniversary, he was going to throw away the candles, and I didn't agree. You see, isn't that useful? Kong Yun sniffed, and handed the photo to Lin Sanjiu with red eyes.
The photo shows a man with an ordinary appearance, a very gentle smile, and a mouthful of snow-white teeth - Lin Sanjiu said "ah" and said, "I have an impression of your husband, and I seem to have seen it once downstairs." β
At that time, there was a very angry woman on the phone, who kept shouting something, and her voice was so high that she could hear it outside the phone, which made Lin Sanjiu remember.
As soon as she said this, Kong Yun's tears rolled down uncontrollably. "We had a fight that day...... I really regret it...... If I knew we would be separated, I wouldn't have yelled at him. He's a very gentle man......"
Marser patted her shoulder lightly and sighed.
Lu Ze sat silently in his chair, and he seemed to know what to say to the crying woman, like all men.
After comforting Kong Yun a few words, Lin Sanjiu straightened up, walked around the house aimlessly, and then frowned with some doubts.
If you look closely, this house is really strange.
The water dispenser in the living room was empty, but there was a full bucket next to it, as if the owner had no intention of putting it on.
If the owner is not short of water to drink, the fish tank is empty, only a layer of ornamental stones and a small treasure chest, sitting dry in the fish tank. When I got closer, I smelled a strong fishy smell.
The strangest thing is the potted plants in this house. It is better to say that it is a potted plant, but it is better to say that it is a few pots of soil where plants should be planted. Now the plants are gone, leaving only pits in the soil, and some roots can still be faintly seen...... A thought flashed through my mind.
"Shall I go get you some water to drink? Do you have water in your fridge? After a few hurried steps, he had already walked to the refrigerator, and Lin Sanjiu asked abruptly. However, before Kong Yun could answer, she had already opened the refrigerator door.
The refrigerator compartment was almost empty, except for a mess of plastic wrap β the kind of vegetables used in supermarkets, with a price tag on it that read "Premium Organic Carrots, 14.98". On the left-hand side was a neat row of drinks, and at a glance, Lin Sanjiu could be sure that no one had ever touched these drinks.
It was only at this time that Kong Yun's somewhat panicked voice came from behind him: "No, no need, I'm not thirsty, thank you." β
Lin Sanjiu closed the refrigerator door and looked back at the hand that Marcer had placed on Kong Yun's body, as if there was a heavy stone in his stomach.
