Chapter 410: Mutation - Loneliness 19
The snail house gradually stopped right above the city, facing the bustling streets.
Before Anjiu goes down, he has to go back to the building and check around.
Those three white eggs represent three developing lives and are the hope of the patriarch.
Last night, she spent the night alone in the deep and empty snail house. In the endless loneliness, she thoroughly felt the patriarch's desire for a companion.
This feeling is like seeing the day with your eyes, but your heart is left in the darkness, and you can never find a way out.
She is an emotionally sensitive person. Because she is lonely inside, she knows how to cherish her grandmother even more after meeting her. The clan leader is her past self and the continuation of her future self.
But the patriarch was better than her.
He is tasked with the arduous task of revitalizing the tribe, which means he has to keep looking for tribesmen until the goal is achieved.
They just feel the same way about loneliness.
Anjiu almost instantly sensed the deep loneliness coming from the clan leader. The sadness that overflowed from the depths of his heart was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, causing her pain.
Now she is the only "member" of Luoju. She temporarily takes the position of the clan leader and does what the clan leader does every day.
He also used the eyes of a patriarch to look at the dried-up pool of water and the dried, curled-up corpses behind the closed door.
Every room is like this, and every floor is like this. You don’t even need to push open the door to know the ending inside.
It was only then that she saw spots of mold appear on the three white eggs.
She had a kind of crestfallen sadness.
Especially when she saw that the clan leader's wife did not lay eggs all the time, she understood why the clan leader regarded white eggs as his life.
"Come on ma'am, when I come back later, I hope to see you lay an egg."
After Anjiu finished speaking softly, he returned to the platform carrying a bag of shriveled eggs.
She opened the bag and poured all the egg residue into the sea water. It all melted quickly as if it had encountered strong acid.
With a splash, Anjiu jumped into the sea, and the bone-chilling cold rushed through his body.
"call--"
She let out a long breath, slowly sank underwater, and landed towards the city below.
When the oxygen in her lungs was gone, she tried to breathe through her mouth.
What I imagined as the sea water being sucked in did not happen, but instead an unusually fresh air slid into my lungs.
——You can actually breathe freely in the sea water!
It’s no different from being on shore!
After realizing this, Anjiu was completely relieved. He turned over and looked at the city below, looking for a place with the most supplies to settle down.
First of all, the location cannot be too far from Luoju. I have wasted too much time on the way here. It will probably be dark soon, so I have to ensure that I can return to the platform safely.
In addition, it is best to find a place with a wide field of vision and not too many cover, so that it is convenient to observe the surrounding environment.
Under these two restrictions, she quickly decided on the location in the commercial circle around the square.
You can find out about the dangerous situation today and make adequate preparations. It won’t be too late to collect supplies later.
As if it was a computer special effect, she gently descended from the air, her toes touching the solid ground, and then her entire foot landed.
Anjiu stomped the ground hard and jumped up.
The movement seemed delayed compared to that on land, and as she landed, a string of bubbles of different sizes emerged from around her.
To indicate the fact that she was at the bottom of the sea.
Looking around, there are four flower beds and two rows of benches on the square. The area where green trees should be planted is now only square areas of grayish-white soil.
When I walked into the flower bed and looked inside, I saw the same grayish-white dead soil, the color was very dull.
Anjiu used disposable chopsticks to dig around inside. Although it was damp, it was still obvious that the soil structure was poor.
After making sure that there was nothing hidden inside, she prepared to go to the nearest store to check.
There are eight shops in a row, one is empty, one is being sold, three are small restaurants, a stationery store, a repair shop, and the last one is a fruit and vegetable store at the intersection.
Of course, Anjiu chose to go straight to the fruit and vegetable store.
The feeling of running in water is also different. The wind turns into water, which is very smooth. You can even feel the support on your back when running.
It was very easy to reach the door of the fruit and vegetable store. Behind the glass door, the solid wooden shelves were neatly arranged against the wall, and the decorative hay was still laid out in the cargo frame.
But, there is not a single fruit on it.
Not even a rotten one could be found.
Anjiu opened the glass door, and several bubbles attached to it flew upwards with tremors.
She walked in. There was not even a black footprint on the white tiles, nor any trace of juice splashed by fruit falling to the ground.
Open the cabinet door under the shelf, and you will see several fruit boxes neatly stacked inside.
Just when she was about to be happy, the box was pulled out lightly by her.
--empty.
But the plastic cover on the box has not been removed and is still firmly stuck.
A bad premonition came over Anjiu.
Could it be...
She carried out several other boxes as well. She could feel from the weight that they were empty, without even shaking them.
I opened the cabinet next to it, the cabinet in front, the cabinet under the cash register, and the small warehouse at the back, and all the boxes were empty.
I opened one without giving up, and the moment I opened the lid, a white foam net bag floated out.
I went out and used the master key to open the door of the repair shop next door. It was a mess inside, with engine oil all over the floor, and it looked black.
He picked up a set of tool boxes nearby and turned into the stationery store next door.
Just like the repair shop, the shelves inside were filled to the brim, except that the notebooks had been swollen by the sea water, forming a thick, wavy stack of foamy stuff that had floated to the roof.
I collected a few boxes of ballpoint pens, went through the motions, and went straight to the next room.
The small restaurant was filled with white fluff floating in the water. As soon as she opened the door, the sea water inside and outside exchanged with each other, and the white fluff came towards her. She moved aside and watched the white fluff float to the surface of the sea.
She waited until the store was almost empty before she walked in. There was nothing interesting in the front hall, so she chose to go straight to the kitchen.
At first glance, the double-door refrigerator is the first thing that catches your eye.
I opened the door with both hands and saw a row of mineral water bottles in the refrigerator with the water level very high. Below was half a bottle of fat green caterpillars.
...Neither she nor her grandmother can enjoy this kind of world feature.
Cannot be collected.
She opened the lower layer and pulled open the freezer drawer. She was stunned for a moment, then closed it, opened the next layer, closed it again, and pulled open the bottom layer.
Finally found a piece of meat sealed in a bag.
The top few layers were filled with deflated plastic wrap and open empty bags. There wasn't even a drop of blood on them, and they looked very clean.
But no restaurant would keep empty bags separately in the freezer section.
I took out the only bag of meat and held it up to the light, and found that even though it was sealed in plastic, the surface of the meat was covered with fuzzy mold, in clumps here and there, showing different colors.
