Chapter 325 Doomsday Wasteland (1)
Liu Sheng hid behind the shelves, leaning against the dusty shelves, holding a pocket of cans in his arms.
She hugged Budou, and a dark, thick hand covered her mouth tightly to prevent her from making a sound.
Although he meant well, the man's hands were sweaty and tasted a bit salty.
Liu Sheng tried to push her hand away, but was held down by the man.
This is so powerful.
There is no way, she is very weak now, she can't just cut off someone's hand with a sword, or whip someone away with a small tentacle, right?
The sound of gentle footsteps came from between the shelves in the back rows.
The footsteps were very light.
It seemed that the man was not wearing shoes, and there was only the sound of the soles of his feet slapping the ground.
Walking around among the shelves, it seemed like he was looking for something.
The patter of walking gradually came closer, approaching in their direction.
Liu Sheng looked sideways and saw a big, dark and square face, with determination in his eyes, which seemed to be telling Liu Sheng that it was okay, don't be afraid, trust her.
But the slightly trembling hands revealed the owner's nervousness.
This person’s name is Qiao Yu, and they just met three hours ago.
Somehow, maybe it was because he saw Liu Sheng was petite and frail and had a confused look on his face, or maybe he saw Liu Sheng's head being held in his mouth by a transparent monster when they met. Qiao Yu was so tall and tall. It was extremely natural to position himself as Liu Sheng's protector.
Lead her everywhere and protect her everywhere.
【So you feel at ease being protected? 】The world asked.
【Isn’t she not giving me a chance to show off now? 】
【And, as everyone knows, I am a mortal now! 】
Liu Sheng emphasized that the world fled silently after hearing this.
At this time, Qiao Yu's heart was high as she listened to the approaching footsteps.
But she didn’t pray. Over the years, she no longer believed in gods.
It hasn’t appeared anyway, so it’s better to rely on yourself.
With sweaty hands, Qiao Yu quietly wiped them on the cloth bag to avoid affecting her subsequent performance.
The other hand was on Liu Sheng's mouth and he stopped wiping it.
Completely ignore Liu Sheng’s sad eyes that were about to cry without tears.
Crack, snap, snap.
Crack, snap, snap.
Getting closer.
Qiao Yu held her breath and waited.
Waiting for an opportunity.
"So..."
"You are here."
A cold and sticky voice sounded.
Right behind them!
Qiao Yu was startled, looked back, and then froze.
Under tension, Liu Sheng was finally let go and turned around to look.
I saw a face squeezed between the scattered cans in the middle of the shelf!
The face was divided into square pieces of meat by the mesh partition in the middle of the shelf, and passed through.
This man's eyes were even framed by this grid, squeezed out of their sockets and fell down, leaving only a few tendons and blood vessels connected, hanging coldly on this side of the compartment, looking up at the two people.
And the position of this person's mouth and nose is very strange, above the eyes.
No, it’s not because it’s weird.
But because he is standing upside down!
The pattering sound of walking was the sound of his palms hitting the ground!
So...
His lower body...
Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu slowly raised their heads at the same time.
A pair of feet were exposed from the top of the shelf, wearing still complete and clean black leather shoes.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t walked for a long time. At this tense moment, Qiao Yu thought of this inexplicably.
The man's eyes looked back and forth between Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu, and he finally made a decision.
Looking intently at Liu Sheng, who looked the weakest, he bent over, his hands slowly twisted into a ball, and passed through the middle of the grid like twisting a towel. He followed his hands and squeezed hard. Squeezing bit by bit, trying to break it down into pieces.
Liu Sheng did not move away.
Just as planned.
Qiao Yu's hand was holding something, and she was waiting quietly, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
When half of the man's body was already stuck inside, Qiao Yu finally moved!
Pick up a talisman in your hand and stick it to the man's hand.
Because the man was stuck in the grid and unable to move, he could only look at Qiao Yu with anger and fear.
As soon as the yellow talisman touched the man's hand, a puff of green smoke immediately rose up, causing the man to scream and then freeze in place.
Taking this opportunity, Qiao Yu took out a watermelon knife and chopped off the man's head, which was divided into squares.
It is said that it is cut, but in fact it is just cut off layer by layer, because it is stuck in the grid and becomes a protruding piece, so it is quite convenient.
Finally, after digging out a small shimmering crystal, Qiao Yu accurately picked it out with a knife.
The watermelon knife is large and the crystals are tiny, but she is used to it and her technique is quite skillful.
After picking out the crystals, the weirdo seemed to have lost all its vitality, becoming motionless, dehydrated and stiff, stuck between the shelves forever.
The hanging eyes quickly became dim and cloudy, and finally fell down with a pop.
Rolled to Liu Sheng’s feet.
Liu Sheng looked at his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"Don't be in a daze, let's go quickly." Qiao Yu said, throwing the crystal to Liu Sheng and walking out first.
Liu Sheng put the crystals into a small cloth bag. There were already more than a dozen blood-stained crystals inside.
Then, she followed me obediently.
......
Following Qiao Yu and walking on the deserted streets, Liu Sheng had already adapted to the surrounding abandoned urban scene, without the initial surprise and novelty.
Although she didn't know why she could go from the Si Tianjian ruins in Chang'an through the Holy Domain to a place whose architectural style was similar to that of the Federal Empire.
But she has gradually adapted to this jumping scene change.
I can't run away anyway, I can only accept it.
Although this place is similar to the Federation Empire, among the several Federation Empires she has seen, the technological level here is more similar to the world where Yi Yu lives, and is relatively backward.
However, that was just the past.
There is no technology to speak of now, only the corpses of countless technologies are left.
Looking around, the once prosperous city has now become dilapidated. Most of the glass windows in high-rise buildings have been shattered, and broken steel bars and broken walls are exposed, like the skeleton of a giant beast.
Abandoned vehicles were parked messily on both sides of the road. Some had been burned, leaving only twisted iron frames and blackened tires.
The streets are covered with a thick layer of dust and gravel, and occasionally you can see some shabby and faded billboards hanging precariously in the air.
The store entrances on both sides are filled with abandoned items, tattered clothes, discarded electronic equipment and various household garbage mixed together, exuding a rotten smell.
The wind blew by, bringing up bursts of dust and old pieces of paper, making a rustling sound.
A torn and yellowed piece of paper swirled in the wind and landed at Liu Sheng's feet.
Liu Sheng looked down and saw that it was a fragment of a newspaper. The biggest headline on it read, "The famous scientist Marilena discovered traces of high-dimensional civilization for the first time..."
The second half of the title disappeared at the edge of the paper.
The following is "Many vicious crimes have occurred, and the security of the federal empire is worrying."
Look at the time again - July 11, star calendar 6598.
I heard from Qiao Yu that she was still young at the time, and she only remembered that a catastrophe had occurred in this world. Strange things were everywhere, many people died, and ten cities and nine empty spaces were frozen forever in the year 6598.
She was lucky, and she was always protected by someone, so she hid in Tibet during the apocalypse and survived.
However, slowly, these people who protected her died one after another.
In the end, she was left alone.
Until today, I met Liu Sheng.
This is the first time she has seen other humans in nearly ten years.
