Doomsday Wonderland

This world was so different from the past that it took Lin Sanjiu a while to begin to understand its rules bit by bit.

"That is to say, on the same mineral water bottle, although the bottle cap is round, there is no space in the middle, so there is no lava..." When she took out the mineral water bottle to signal, Sesame Pancake shrank subconsciously: "Bottle If the middle of the mouth is empty, then there is lava?"

"right."

No wonder the bearded man touched the round carpet but was not swallowed up by lava - the round carpet is solid, and even if we have to go to the extreme and say that there are gaps between fibers, it is not enough to accommodate even a finger passing through; such a situation Now, his limbs are actually still "separated" from the center of the ring.

"But my companions did not touch the water..."

"It's not easy to understand," Sesame Pancake admitted. "It's not just the water flowing out of the ring that turns into lava. Think of it this way, for any ring, you think of the area in the middle as It's a volcano crater, that's right. Whether you put your hand in, or something flows out of it, or like your friend in black clothes, you poke your head out to take a look and then sit back... it's all equivalent to being immediately attracted by the volcano crater. The lava in it was swallowed up.”

The mystery of how the puppet master disappeared was finally solved here - Lin Sanjiu quickly asked: "So you saw everything?"

"yes,"

Because Sesame Cake was very cooperative just now, all the first eight teeth in her mouth have grown in. Although the size and position of each tooth is always a little inconsistent due to the average dentist Lin Sanjiu's skills, at a glance, it can still be considered as normal. Neat: "If he just sits in the ring and doesn't move, then he'll be fine. You entered the city before 11:30, and your friend should have been sitting in the ring by then, right?" When the 'circle' rules came into effect, he was naturally considered to be part of the crater... It's a pity that he didn't know the rules of this world. If there hadn't been such a process of 'probe out and come back', he wouldn't have Swallowed by lava."

No wonder even the puppet master fell for it. Who can calmly and suddenly think of the possibility of suddenly becoming a volcano crater?

Thinking about it again, she was lucky enough not to be swallowed up. She just put her finger on the ring to turn it into a card; when she picked up Bohemia's bracelet, her fingers also It just happened to be stuck on the outer edge of the bracelet. If she happens to reach into the ring to pick them up, now she too is swallowed into the lava.

"However," Sesame Cake thought for a moment and added, "As you can see, this rule only applies to people. If you pour the water in the bottle on the bed, it will still be water... unless it falls on the bed. in humans, otherwise the lava effect would not occur.”

At this point, she suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "But even if the lava effect occurs, it is invisible to our naked eyes, and everything only exists in the senses. In the eyes of uninformed people, because of our A drop of water would cause the pain to become like that, and they would definitely think that we are mentally disturbed."

So... the dead man who didn't have a single scratch on his body, but the puppet master said he was "damaged" to the point that he couldn't even stand up as a puppet, was it because he was swallowed by lava, that's why he was in that weird situation?

Lin Sanjiu recalled carefully for a while, but she couldn't remember anything. Did she see anything like a ring nearby? Because it was dark at that time and the distance was far away, she could barely see anything clearly.

Anyway, at least Dr. Cat is pretty safe, if he's here.

"After a person is swallowed by lava," this was also her next question, "What happens?"

Sesame Cake complained: "Can you put my joints back on first? Am I cooperative enough?"

She was really cooperative. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, but still didn't move: "When you finish speaking, I will put them back together."

Every big joint on Sesame Pancake's limbs was dislocated. If it weren't for external help, she could only curl up her abdomen and use the strength of her waist, abdomen and neck to barely raise her head and speak - this was more reassuring.

She sighed anxiously: "Then help me sit against the wall. I don't want to stare at your chin and talk."

Lin Sanjiu complied with her request and asked her to sit against the wall outside the bathroom. Sesame Cake obviously didn't feel any better about her at all. He coldly stabbed her a few times with the corner of his eye, still full of resentment.

"answer my question."

Sesame Pancake waited for a few seconds before snorting: "...You probably guessed it, didn't you? But your guess is not completely right. Everyone has a 100% survival rate at the beginning."

"Survival rate?" Lin Sanjiu felt like a parrot.

"Yes. It's not the kind of chance that you won't die even if you were swallowed three times before, but..." When Sesame Cake said this, he felt that it was not easy to explain, and he frowned and thought for a while. "Every time you are swallowed up, part of your survival rate will be deducted. I don't know how much and what the standard is... I only know that, for example, your friend with long hair is because of his handle. She was swallowed by Lava after she reached into the ring, so her survival rate deduction must be less than that of the man in black clothes. Because the man in black clothes put his head into the ring, the survival rate The number will definitely be more deducted, do you understand?"

Too bad for the puppeteer.

"That's the head, such a fatal key part... If there is a 100% survival rate at the beginning, I'm afraid there won't be much left, right? Based on your experience, how much does he have left? 3%? 5%?" Lin Sanjiu asked with concern.

"You do care about your companions," Sesame Pancake's face softened slightly, "Why? He owes you money? Are you using him?"

"Don't you care about your bearded friend?"

"Because we are friends," Sesame Cake sneered, "I don't think there are many other people like us who can become friends in the apocalyptic world."

"Then you're in for a surprise."

Lin Sanjiu didn't explain much, and asked while pacing: "So, how do you know that someone will not have a 100% survival rate deducted from the beginning, only to die after being swallowed by lava for the first time?"

"I can't guarantee that there won't be such a thing," Sesame Cake drooped his eyebrows. Because of the excitement, his face was red and white, and his freckles were more conspicuous: "But it has been six weeks since we entered this world, and we haven't heard anything yet. I said someone’s survival rate was deducted from the beginning.”

"Then where did all the people who were swallowed up go?" Lin Sanjiu entered this key question unhurriedly—unexpectedly, Sesame Cake was less anxious than she was.

"My teeth," she raised her head and opened her mouth, saying vaguely: "What's the use of just growing eight front teeth for me? I don't want to be a flight attendant. If the big teeth don't grow in the back, how can I eat?" ?”

Lin Sanjiu knew that she would not let go of the rabbit before she saw it, so he had to be patient, dipped the toothbrush stick in [Beef Bone Soup], and probed deep into her mouth. Because the light was dim and the inside of the mouth was pitch black, it was difficult to see whether the teeth had grown in. She had to turn on the light in the bathroom and adjust the sesame cake to face the light, and finally saw the teeth slowly coming out of the dim gums. A little bit of white sticking out.

"... Just like when I was a kid, it's really itchy when my teeth come in."

Sesame Pancake leaned her head against the bathroom door and glanced at him: "Did you take off the hose?"

This is a typical bathroom with a sink, shower, bathtub and toilet. If you look carefully, you will find that all the water outlets are standard and common deadly circles. The green hose originally held by Sesame Cake was connected to the faucet of the sink.

"Um,"

The tube is now in the card library, maybe it will be used in the future. Lin Sanjiu repeated her question again, "Speak, where have all the people who were swallowed up gone?"

"Where else can we go," Sesame Pancake smiled, "Hospital."

These two words made Lin Sanjiu perk up: "Hospital? Is it a real hospital?"

"Are there any fake hospitals?" Sesame Cake glanced at her sideways, "There is a regional general hospital that has become a treatment center for the injured in Lava... All the people who were swallowed up died on the spot as long as the survival rate was not too low. , then they will all be sent to that hospital."

"Do you know where it is?" Lin Sanjiu squatted down quickly and looked at her and asked.

If there is a hospital nearby, then maybe Hu Miaomiao is there too; it would be great if we could find all three people at once, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net - she thought, while subconsciously glancing He glanced at the sesame cake's hands.

The two white hands were folded softly together and hung weakly on the thighs. Among them, the fingers of her right hand were gently resting on her left wrist.

...Lin Sanjiu remembered that when he dragged her over, her hands were still hanging by her sides.

At the moment when she came to her senses, before she could raise her head, the sesame cake in front of her suddenly spat out: "The third course!"

Frightened, Lin Sanjiu jumped back, stood firm on her feet, and immediately looked up into the air.

However, she soon knew that she had been fooled. There was nothing in the air, and the turntable did not reappear. Instead, where the sesame cake was, there were two soft "clacks" of bones connecting. At the moment when he looked back, Lin Sanjiu had already Understood.

The five knuckles of the sesame cake were not removed, so she actually used her ten fingers to "drag" the two hands together little by little. After finally bringing them together, she unknowingly, didn't know how to use them. How can I reattach my wrist?

But she couldn't get all the joints right. When Lin Sanjiu rushed forward and grabbed Sesame Pancake, the latter threw his upper body back to the bathroom floor, and his legs limply dragged outside the bathroom door; the only ones who could barely move were his hands—— But that's enough.

Lin Sanjiu had just grabbed Sesame Pancake's calf when a "choi rang" sound came out. She immediately raised her head and her eyes fell on a round metal piece that was still bouncing on the ground. Looking in the direction of the dirty metal piece, she discovered that there was actually a drain hidden under the sink.

Sesame Pancake's fingers picked up the sewer opening cover at some point and sank deeply into the center of the circular sewer opening.
