Doomsday Wonderland

After coming out of the apartment, the prompt notifying them to look for the "new game conference" never appeared; perhaps the game world was considerate of the tragic death of the two of them and allowed them to take a breath first. Since they don’t know when their next game will start, it doesn’t matter where they play, right?

Lin Sanjiu thought, looking across the parking lot and landing on the building.

Sibaan was right, it looked like a game field.

The building is only two stories high, but it occupies a large area; the cars in the parking lot are sparsely covered, covered with a thick layer of dust, and all have flat tires, piled crookedly and shriveled in the parking space.

At this time, the setting sun was about to sink behind the mountains on the horizon, and the sky turned into a light purple, burning a thin line of orange, which reflected the blackened blood stains on the walls of the shopping mall and next to the door, and flickered again. Somewhat red.

"I suggest we go in." Sibaan put his hands in his pockets and said.

"Why?" Lin Sanjiu didn't quite understand - even if he wanted to stay, there was no need to find such a place.

"The volunteer just said that you should go back to that apartment to find Ji Shanqing," he reminded softly, "but he didn't guarantee that your next game will definitely be nearby. If we are arranged to be far away, Not to mention that you are definitely worried about the place, there is also a more important practical issue, we don’t know where this place is, and we may not be able to find it back.”

Lin Sanjiu was startled. She was only thinking about the current status of the gift bags, and forgot that they were randomly thrown at a certain point on the surface by the game world - even if there were place names nearby, it was meaningless to her.

"Then your suggestion is..."

"Since this place looks like a game venue at first glance, why don't we go in first and wait." Siba'an shrugged his shoulders, seeming to think that his proposal was a bit ridiculous, and suddenly broke into a smile, revealing a row of snow-white teeth: " There will always be other evolvers brought here to start the game, and if we forcefully join them then, it may be a way to stay nearby... But if it doesn't work, it would be interesting to give it a try."

At the end of his sentence, his eyes lit up.

It's really interesting - this game world can manipulate the evolvers at will, arrange any game for them, and they have to rush to it without even knowing whether they are rushing to death. Now they have to follow their own rules and see what happens to the world? When Lin Sanjiu thought of Ji Shanqing who had been taken away, he wished he could smash all the rules, systems and surfaces of this doomsday world, even if it was just to create a crack for the few of them to survive.

"Let's go," she decided, and strode towards the mall. "Hopefully it doesn't keep us waiting too long."

As the night fell, the interior of the building was brightly lit; as they approached, the automatic doors opened smoothly, and it seemed that everything was still running smoothly. The two stood under the light and listened for a while, each shaking their heads at the other.

There seemed to be no one in the mall.

Unexpectedly, not only was the interior of the mall relatively neat and orderly, but most of the items on the shelves were also intact. Lin Sanjiu picked up a pack of "butter rum coffee" from the promotional shelf upon entering and looked at it. Looking at the production date, I remembered that I didn't know what year or month it was here, so I put it back again.

"The world seems to be dying step by step, bit by bit." Sibaan said while looking at a notice board at the door. Lin Sanjiu took a closer look and saw that the remaining blurred writing on the board spelled out an intermittent sentence - "Recently, there has been a large... danger in the Pinan... Rosemary Road area... no more delivery services."

Big game?

Those games are like endless meat grinders, grinding all the people here clean?

Lin Sanjiu glanced around and found that they were standing between the cashier and after-sales service desk. There were many product areas in front of them: women's clothing area, accessories and shoes area, household goods area... She walked around in a leisurely manner. , I just feel as if I have returned to the usual days of going to the mall. I don't know if it was because of its carefully matched lighting or display design, but she actually vaguely missed the feeling of shopping in the past; maybe she was not alone. When she raised her head, she found that Sibaan had also picked up a magazine. look.

"Can you tell what kind of gaming venue this might be?" Lin Sanjiu said, pulling out a sweater from the shelf and looking at it. It gets a little cold after dark.

"The facilities are complete and there are no blood stains. It's hard to judge." He put the magazine back and picked up another box of chocolate candies. He was suddenly surprised - Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She thought something had happened and was about to rush out. In the past, Siba'an raised his eyes, with genuine surprise on his face: "How can candy be made sugar-free?"

"Don't you know?" She was a little dumbfounded, "Other sweeteners have replaced sugar...wait, were you born in the apocalypse?"

Sibaan thought about this question carefully for a while. "Maybe, I can't say."

While the two were talking, they walked deeper into the mall - some of the goods on the shelves were taken away piecemeal, as if they had not had time to replenish the goods after a day of normal business, and there was no evolution at all. The empty mess left behind after collecting resources.

No matter how you look at it, this mall is too normal.

This normality lasted until late at night. After entering this apocalyptic world, Lin Sanjiu was so idle for the first time, but she couldn't rest at ease; if she didn't find something to do, she would feel uncomfortable all over. She was planning to make dinner, but she ended up burning the meatloaf because she was delayed in the condiment area for too long. I will never accept another piece.

"I have an item, it's a goddess." When the two of them were sitting on the sample sofa chatting after dinner, he put his long legs on a small side table. He seemed a little tired and said softly: "What if If you are really worried about Ji Shanqing, you can use the goddess to do some divination..."

"I've done enough divination," Lin Sanjiu said with a smile, "Let's take a look at tomorrow's situation——"

Before she finished speaking, both of them suddenly became quiet and turned their heads slightly in the same direction. In the direction of the shopping mall gate, they all just heard a "rustling" sound that was so slight that it almost passed their ears.

Someone walked in through the automatic door.

The two waited with bated breath for a few seconds, but did not hear any footsteps.

Suddenly breaking the silence, it was a gentle female voice.

"I heard that Siba'an is here, right?" The voice floated faintly and asked softly: "Can you come out for a while? It's time to pay for your crimes against the arsenal."
