Doomsday Reincarnation - Chapter 123
When Qin Yi and the others walked on the deserted street for a long time, they suddenly realized that the temperature had not actually risen.
Qin Yi’s hand touched a street sign, and his fingertips immediately stinged from the cold. There was also a homeless man who had frozen to death on the street, curled up tightly.
The tramp’s whole body was frozen hard, and a thick layer of white frost almost covered his entire body. Just looking at it made people feel uncomfortable.
Qin Yi took a piece of clothing and put it on his head, and the three of them left in silence.
When the three of them passed the gate of a community, they heard a loud shout from the next room.
It was a woman’s cry, and it sounded desperate.
Wu Huai stopped, tilted his head, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Yi and Lian Qing couldn’t give an answer, but they quickly knew the reason.
Above, which was covered by the fog, a man shouted, and he asked, “Is there a power outage?! Is there a power outage!!”
He roared so hoarsely that he could hear it clearly on the street below, even through a layer of glass and a floor.
The three of them froze for a moment, looked at each other, and saw the surprise and sympathy on each other’s faces.
In such a situation the power goes out…
In a short period of time, one after another, shouts rang out from all directions.
In the vast white fog, those desperate shouts gathered together, making Qin Yi almost think that he had stepped into another dead space.
Even though her body was no longer cold, the cold in her heart could not be dispelled.
“Let’s find a place to stay first…” Lian Qing’s voice was slightly low.
They found a small supermarket, broke the door lock, went in and put away the food, then sat down here, listening to the sound of one after another outside, and spent a long time.
In the afternoon, those voices were much quieter.
When the three of them walked out of the supermarket, they didn’t walk forward for long when they saw a man dying of cold on the ground in front of them.
People are still alive, seeing Qin Yi and the others walking on the road, his eyes are full of shock, and he asks with trembling lips: “Aren’t you… cold?”
Qin Yi didn’t know what to say. Under his eager eyes, he could only take out a cotton-padded coat to cover him.
But he was already wearing extremely thick clothes, which did not bring him any warmth.
His lips were black, and those longing eyes slowly slackened, became hopeless, and became empty again, and in an instant it turned into a dead silence.
Qin Yi squatted beside him and stared at his face for a long time.
Although she has no memory of the past, she can realize from the record that this place was very lively and prosperous at first, but in a short period of time, it has become what it is now.
“Why aren’t we cold anymore?” Wu Huai stood behind and said softly, “In the record, we were still cold yesterday.”
Another question that no one can answer.
Perhaps the game system was afraid of freezing the players to death, so it gave them the privilege of not being afraid of the cold.
Qin Yi stood up and said, “We’ve been in this place all the time, we haven’t met other players, and we don’t know how to complete the task. Now that we’re not afraid of the cold, let’s go far away. When we meet other players, maybe The problem will be solved.”
Lian Qing nodded and said, “Yes, we have to find other players. We have wasted a lot of time.”
“Although there is fog everywhere, there should be no one else driving on the street. We can find a car and drive slowly.” Wu Huai said.
After a few discussions, the three walked towards the nearest community.
This is an older community, the houses in it are a few years old, and the management is not as strict as the new community in recent years.
In addition to the parking lot, there are also a lot of vehicles parked on both sides of the walkway downstairs in the ground floor.
Lian Qing walked to a brand-name car, patted the front of the car, and said with a smile, “I like this, how about looking for the keys to this car?”
Wu Huai raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, and smiled arrogantly with a cigarette in his mouth: “With me here, I don’t need a key.”
As he said, he took out a hammer from the storage ring and smashed it hard against the window.
After a few times, the window shattered, he reached out and opened the door from the inside, then got into the cab, and after tossing for a while, somehow, the car without the key actually started.
Wu Huai spit the cigarette **** on the ground, rolled it with his foot, raised his chin at the two of them, and said, “Go, get in the car.”
Lian Qing asked in surprise: “Why are you so good? You used to be a car thief, right?”
Wu Huai glanced at him and said, “If it weren’t for me, the car thief, you would have to find the keys now!”
Lian Qing said: “Big brother, how do you start the car, can you teach me?”
“Okay, squeeze your shoulders and beat your legs, and I’ll teach you in three days.” Wu Huai said, looking at Qin Yi: “Do you want to learn too?”
The corner of Qin Yi’s mouth twitched, and before he could speak, he said again, “Sister is free!”
Qin Yi nodded: “Learn.”
At this time, it was past six o’clock in the afternoon, and the three of them were teaching and practicing one by one in the community.
There was no one in the next building to stop them, probably because under the extremely cold air, those people had no time to care so much.
Early the next morning, the three of them set off by car and walked slowly through the fog.
The driver was Wu Huai, Qin Yi sat in the back row, and Lian Qing sat next to Wu Huai.
About ten minutes later, Lian Qing looked out the window and suddenly asked, “What is that sound?”
Qin Yi listened attentively and vaguely heard a sound, but couldn’t tell what the content was.
Wu Huai stepped on the brakes, and the three got out of the car and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
As the distance got closer, Qin Yi finally heard some words vaguely, and heard that the sound was coming from a loudspeaker.
It wasn’t until they walked into a square that they heard the full content.
“Gamers, come to the underground supermarket when you hear the sound!”
It’s that sentence, played over and over again.
Qin Yi and the others walked to the statues in the center of the square, only to see a loudspeaker tied to the neck of one of the statues.
This kind of loudspeaker, which is commonly used in street stalls, can record and then continuously play the recording to shout.
Wu Huai said with a smile: “This guy is quite powerful, I can think of such a method.”
Lian Qing said: “No matter how much it is, let’s go and see first, maybe you will know the specific situation of the task right away!”
Thinking of this, he felt a little excited.
The three of them searched around in the fog, and finally found a large shopping mall on the left front of the square. Outside the shopping mall, they saw the stairs leading to the ground floor.
The stairs are built under the open air. After going down the stairs, there are three gates leading to different directions. But these three doors all have the names of supermarkets, and obviously all lead to the same supermarket.
The three randomly chose a door to enter, and as soon as they entered, Qin Yi immediately felt the size of the supermarket.
Looking forward, I couldn’t see the edge, and it extended far to the left and right, as if the entire basement floor was occupied by this supermarket.
There are so many things to sell inside. Although there are obvious signs of being looted, most of the things are still in a neat and clean state.
“Be careful, that person didn’t necessarily do this to bring the players together.” Wu Huai reminded in a low voice.
Lian Qing also said: “This place is quite suitable for ambush.”
There are shelves that are much taller than people almost everywhere, and there are many goods platforms between the shelves, as well as various display racks, human-shaped standing signs, plastic models…
Even if there is a person standing upright in it, they may not be able to see it.
Of course, there may be more than one person on the other side.
The three of them approached each other cautiously, walking forward slowly and gently.
Ten minutes later, they walked to the electrical appliance sales office, and a loud whistle came from the clothing sales office opposite.
The three immediately turned their heads to look, and saw a man with one hand resting on the shoulder of the plastic model next to him, one leg bent in a leisurely manner, and smiling at them.
He didn’t speak, nor did Qin Yi and the others.
After staring at the man vigilantly for a while, a clear laughter came from behind a row of hanging clothes.
I saw a woman walk out from behind the clothes, and said slowly, “What are you doing so nervously, even if you want to fight, you have to find out if you are an enemy or a friend before you talk about it?”
She has short chin-length hair with neatly cut ends and short bangs on her forehead, which creates a strange cuteness with her slightly stern expression.
Wu Huai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Oh, there are girls, I won’t fight with girls, girls are all treasures in the world.”
The woman looked at him and hooked her lips: “Then come here and see if I am a treasure in the world?”
Wu Huai shrugged and walked over.
Qin Yi and Lian Qing looked at each other and followed carefully.
Wu Huai walked very easily. As he walked, he introduced himself: “My name is Wu Huai, how about you?”
The short-haired woman laughed, and even her smile did not soften her stern face: “Li Rui, his name is Chen He.”
She pointed to the man who was whistling earlier.
Wu Huai raised his eyebrows: “I’m not interested in men. How old is the girl and does she have a boyfriend?”
Li Rui smiled brighter, and under that bright smile, she slowly said, “It’s a coincidence, I’m not interested in men either.”
Lian Qing coughed and asked, “Can you say something serious?”
Li Rui tilted her head and looked at him: “Do you want to listen?”
Lian Qing said helplessly: “We heard the recording, the purpose is to ask if you know how to complete the task.”
“Well, of course…” Li Rui smiled: “I don’t know.”
