Doomsday Wonderland

When Lin Sanjiu shuddered, she suddenly realized that all her evolutionary abilities were gone.

It was like a dream. When she had this consciousness, she was not surprised, but seemed to have vaguely known it for a long time - just like in dreams, people sometimes are not surprised by the strangest things. Speaking of which, it wasn't the first time that she couldn't use her evolutionary abilities; it was just that it was the first time for her to be able to use someone else's when she couldn't use her own abilities.

Of course, this is not quite accurate.

It feels like I'm having a very clear and real dream now.

The temperature inside the car was getting colder and colder. She felt herself raising her hand, rubbing her arm, and turned to the driver and said, "How long will it take for us to arrive?"

"More than an hour." The driver replied in a muffled voice.

Lin Sanjiu was very sure that the person sitting in the passenger seat who asked that question was not him, but a man. She seemed to be looking at the world around her from behind the man, through him—both herself and not herself. She was like a ghost from behind, or entering another person's body; if she wanted to, she seemed to be able to lift the man's arm and use his evolutionary ability, but she couldn't say clearly, she was the one who controlled the body. Still the same man.

"In the dream, I somehow turned into a man..." Don't you often hear descriptions like this?

However, this will definitely not be a dream. Because Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel that the car window glass in the night was cold to the bone, and occasionally touching it with her hand would give her goosebumps.

But how did she suddenly end up in the situation she was in? What happened before she got into this car?

She remembered that their journey had stretched for at least hundreds of kilometers. Throughout the whole day, endless woods, hills, windmills, and fields covered with snow passed through the car window; in the afternoon when the sun was shining , this can still be called a road trip, but when the night gets dark, it turns into a heavy uneasiness - as if the four people in their car are completely isolated from the world.

"No heating?" Abby complained in the back seat. Abi is thirty-seven years old. Sometimes she talks and acts like a child. She seems to be protected from the world in the apocalyptic world. It is simply staggering - wait, is this her own impression? Lin Sanjiu doesn't seem to know a person named Abi, right?

"We're low on gas," the driver replied curtly when she wondered.

In any case, she now somehow understood the other three people in the car to a certain extent. The driver was Pence, who was tall and muscular. When he stood like a hill in front of people's eyes, I'm afraid no one would have to think twice about it. Cuining, who was sitting in the back seat with Abi, said "Ah" when she heard this. She seemed a little worried, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly.

"Running out of gas?" Abi, who dyed his long hair blond and had a more direct personality than Cuining, immediately stuck his head between the two front seats of the jeep and asked: "What should I do? What if I arrive? What should I do if it doesn’t work?”

"It should be enough not to turn on the heating," Pence replied in a thick accent, "I'll be in charge. Women don't understand cars, so don't worry about it."

... Even in a post-apocalyptic world, some deeply ingrained ideas are difficult to change.

It was precisely because he noticed some qualities in Peng Si that the man Lin Sanjiu "possessed" just thought in his heart and did not correct him in front of the two women in the back seat. This kind of doomsday society was born before Turning on the car's heater actually consumes less fuel - they had just met each other not long ago, and they didn't know what was going to happen next, so it never hurt to let Pence be a little friendly to him. As for the cold, just keep it cold. With a car full of evolvers, are you still worried about freezing and catching a cold?

Lin Sanjiu thought, turning around to look at her reflection in the car's rearview mirror. She saw a chin and neck that belonged to a man. The most conspicuous thing on the neck was the Adam's apple instead of a bandage. This feeling was really weird. However, what was even weirder was that she had no idea where to go "as Lin Sanjiu." , she was not afraid or worried at all.

The thoughts, emotions and state of the man she was "possessed" seemed to dominate at this time; even if she still had the identity of "Lin Sanjiu", she would still follow the man's thoughts: etc. What should you do when you get to that camping cabin? What preparations are needed?

The four of them all know each other because they hold the position of "Dungeon Tester". Even in the Twelve Realms, old copies will die and new copies will be generated from time to time; sometimes it will be troublesome when it is generated in an important place or in a busy city, but it will be easier to handle if it is generated in a deserted place with no one. It's just a sign to warn. There is no need to send people to check and test. Although the camping cabin Lin Sanjiu is going to now is a copy that appears in the wilderness, because of its special situation, Four dungeon testers from different organizations got into the car together and ran towards it.

Wait, so this is the Twelve Realms?

For some unknown reason, she fell in love with a "Dungeon Tester" from the Twelve Worlds? Seeing everything he goes through through his eyes?

"It's really troublesome." After hearing Pence's answer, Abi couldn't help but make an expression, then sat back in the back seat and said, "This copy is divided into two symmetrical parts, but we are so unlucky to be smoked. Come to this place where nothing matters."

Speaking of which, a copy with this appearance is quite strange. Lin Sanjiu remembered—or rather, the man she possessed remembered—that the other half of this copy happened to appear in an organization's base, and it was an extra door that quietly appeared one morning. I heard that someone in the organization accidentally walked into the door to get something, and then realized that he had entered the dungeon; and it was not a complete dungeon. In order to let the people inside come out, the dungeon must be run once, and to complete Once it runs, four other people must rush to the other half of the instance, which is a camping cabin located deep in the mountain forest.

Anyway, it's a good thing to get this job. At least the remuneration is very generous... Materials and money are not a big deal. Only by being able to avoid the uncertainty during teleportation can people feel relieved.

After walking for God knows how long, the jeep finally turned onto the branch road, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a dark wooden house. The wooden house under the light of the car lights was "pulled" out of the dark forest by the white light, and it seemed silent and dissatisfied as if it had been awakened.

When several people got out of the car, they were all on full alert; but until they opened the door and walked into the wooden house, nothing happened.

Old and slightly damp furniture filled the space in a haphazard manner in the darkness, threatening to hit the legs and feet of unwary people. They did not dare to act rashly, so they stood in the foyer and lit up a few flashlights, then turned around - chaotic circles of light flashed through the air, and finally settled on the TV screen above the fireplace.

"Welcome to the camping house! We are all tired. If you are willing, you might as well rest for a night and explore again tomorrow." An animated character said with a smile - the voice from the TV echoed faintly in the In a dark wooden house.
