Chapter 22: You know too much
Lin Xu felt something was wrong. The biggest one was a strange atmosphere. Since she entered the shelter, she felt that someone was staring at them, but when she looked closely, she couldn't see anything, which made her very confused. However, in the end, she still felt that it was probably because she was too weak and the day of the sewer shuttle made her suspicious.
Today she and her brother came to the largest shelters in Ding District. Although the world is full of sewers and a sewer world, there are also some places that are obviously different from the sewers on the earth. The biggest difference is the size problem. There are very few spaces with abnormalities. From the outside, it is just an ordinary employee room or tool stacking room, but the space inside is much larger than what you see outside. For example, the shelter now has more than ten times the size seen on the outside, almost a small square. There are some enlarged tool grids on the edge of the small square, but here is basically the same as a personal room. This is an extremely rare personal room. Every owner is considered a big or small figure in Ding District.
Lin Xu has always envied that there is such a room. After all, she is a girl. She has no privacy to say since she came to this world, and she has not taken a bath... At most, she can wash it with not so dirty sewage and has no clothes to change. The stench on her body has made her unable to smell it at all. This is what she is used to, not to mention the days that girls have every month. She is very glad that she was reborn in this world with her brother, otherwise she might have committed suicide long ago.
Lin Xu sat on the edge of the square and was tidying up the bed where she and her brother slept at night, some rags, some torn cotton and dried inedible moss. This was a good thing, and the new people who were reborn in this world had no good things. Although they didn't look very good, they were very warm. Moreover, the dry moss could also isolate the water and wetness on the ground, and the beds of the two of them.
After sorting out the two beds, Lin Xu sat on it in a daze. She was hungry. The last time she ate was twenty-four hours ago, and she was thirsty. Although she had just drunk two big mouthfuls of water twelve hours ago, she was indeed hungry and thirsty. Fortunately, the brother and sister harvested well today. They caught three world creatures like rats, and found some ground red fruits, which are a bryo-like bryo-growing plant growing in wetlands. The plant itself is poisonous, but it will grow a red fruit, similar to tomatoes, but the taste is not that good, and the fruit is much smaller, but it is already a very rare fruit. Both brother and sister are reluctant to eat it and are ready to eat a mouse. The rest of the rats and ground red fruits are exchanged for other foods and fresh water. This is enough for them to consume for three or four days, and the meat of a mouse can also be eaten by them.
Just as Lin Xu was waiting for her brother to change food and Danshui to come back, a man in a black robe walked to Lin Xu. Lin Xu immediately looked at the man with alertness. The man looked in his thirties and was nearly forty years old. When he saw Lin Xu looking over, he immediately smiled kindly.
Lin Xu relaxed a little. She knew this person. She was a person who had been in this shelter. She had a private room in this shelter. She also had a lot of Danshui and often operated a deal with others. When the brother and sister were in a down-and-out manner, the person who had also paid two credits was considered an acquaintance, so she smiled and greeted her.
The man also smiled and said, "Seeing that you have gained so much, are you going to buy a room in the shelter? This is real estate. You can let your brother and sister eat and drink every day when renting it out."
Lin Xu shook his head and said, "Uncle, it's so simple, not to mention anything else, the food and fresh water needed in this room are not enough. I heard that there are equivalent exchanges on the upper third floor area, which is a credit point set by the government, but we don't have them here. We have to accumulate so much food to buy at one time, so we can't make up. And even if we buy it, we have to pay rent every year, as well as defense taxes, etc., so we may sit there and eat and drink?"
The man smiled again and started chatting with Lin Xu. The chatting made Lin Xu lose all her defense. Then the topic began to move towards the upper third floor area, talking about the beauty of the upper third floor area, food, fresh water, light, electricity, rooms, and even various industrial products. Lin Xu was another thirty-four-year-old child, and her eyes were full of longing.
"... Speaking of which, are you brothers and sisters not planning to go to the upper third floor? I heard that a large group of people were gathering in a shelter recently. They seemed to be planning to go to the upper third floor. If I asked me to say, it would be unsafe for you brothers and sisters to go up, so it would be better to join such a group operation." The man said as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xu's eyes suddenly shone, and he asked about the shelter and the group of people. The man was not stingy at all. He did not ask for any reward for such important news. He told Lin Xu about the location of the shelter, and then began to talk about the beauty on the third floor. He talked for at least ten minutes. It was not until Lin Zhong came back that the man greeted him with a smile and left, which made Lin Zhong's eyes narrow.
After that, the brother and sister had dinner. Because they had a lot of harvest, they both were full. After dinner, Lin Xu told the news she heard intermittently, and at the same time kept talking about the prosperity of the three floors. Her eyes were glowing at her brother. Although she was actually not in good relationship with her brother before, the two were ten years apart and basically had no common topics. Moreover, Lin Xu, who was entering the rebellious period, looked down on her brother a little bit. She was more eager for those people who were in a mess. Whether it was a bastard in the school or the so-called big brother outside, she thought she was awesome. However, in the more than a year of life in the new world, she had a more understanding of her brother and gradually admired this brother who used to be very ordinary. She felt that there was nothing that her brother could not accomplish, and now it was the same.
But Lin Zhong immediately rejected the expectation of going up to the third floor and warned Lin Xu to stay away from those who encouraged people to go up to the third floor. Lin Xu was suddenly disappointed and kept asking Lin Zhong why, but was beaten by Lin Zhong. She immediately started to argue with dissatisfaction. At the same time, she said that they had been in this world for more than a year, and other people would go up to the third floor in about a year, and they were still staying in this garbage place. Could it be that Lin Zhong is such a coward?
Lin Zhong was also angry by his sister, but he was still rational and just said nothing. However, Lin Xu was angry and scolded her brother. Even they often found some monsters, but they never finished all such trivial matters. They kept scolding each other for at least half an hour before the little girl fell asleep in tears.
Lin Zhong did not do anything about it. He just watched his sister sleep, then he looked at the square with a faint look, and then lay outside his sister. When his face was covered, his face was covered with a cold smile.
The next day, Lin Zhong made a decision beyond Lin Xu's expectations. He decided to take Lin Xu to the shelter with him. If the other party had a lot of people, they could really go to the upper third floor. After hearing this, Lin Xu immediately jumped and cheered. The little girl no longer stayed in this shelter and pulled Lin Zhong to the destination early in the morning.
Along the way, Lin Xujiji talked about the prosperity on the third floor, the stories there, looking forward to the future, and narrating the past, having to take a shower, having a private room, buying new clothes, etc. After walking through a secret passage, Lin Zhong grabbed Lin Xu who was walking forward, and looked ahead with a serious expression.
"What's wrong? Brother, are there any monsters?" Lin Xu asked carefully immediately.
But Lin Zhong did not answer, but the voice in the darkness ahead: "I'm very cautious. As expected, I'm a veteran. I haven't been to the third floor for more than a year and I'm very experienced."
As the voices were heard, three men walked out of the darkness, one of them was the person who spoke to Lin Xu in the square yesterday. The three of them sneered and looked at Lin Zhong with cold murderous intent.
Lin Zhong blocked Lin Xu with his hands and asked, "Why? Have we done anything?"
Yesterday the man sneered and said, "No, I just know too much. I haven't gone to the third floor for more than a year. We have provided a lot of news and many conveniences. I believe you have known a lot of things over the past year, right? If you want to blame, you are too smart. We can't help but not kill you. You... know too much."
Lin Xu looked at all this in shock and listened to it. She was not a fool. At this time, she knew why the other party came to kill them. It was because they knew too much. They knew a lot of things in more than a year, such as what Lin Zhong said. It seemed that they were really as Lin Zhong said. They stumbled down from the upper class and even the team they mentioned yesterday was fake, just to trick them into coming here.
Lin Zhong sighed at this time, lowering his head as if he had accepted his fate. The three of them walked up with a sneer, but in the next moment, two of them had folded their necks in half, and they could not die again in an instant. The only remaining man was the person who instigated Lin Xu yesterday. He was picked up by Lin Zhong with a panic and disbelief. He could only read a few words from his mouth, the energy person...
As the time of living grows longer, the physical fitness of people reborn in this world is getting stronger and stronger, even exceeding the limits of the human body. Everyone has strong combat power, but this is not the limit... It is said that in the A region, very few people have made breakthroughs. They carry a strange energy in their bodies and have a strange energy circulation line in their bodies. Such a person is a top-level strongman in the A region, and people in the world call them the Energy Man.
An energy person, let alone dragging a burden, even if he drags ten or a hundred burdens, he can easily go from District D to District A, and where can he become a superior person and have no worries about food and drink. Why do such a person still willing to stay in the D-level area?
"Why?!" The man used the last air in his lungs to put this sentence, his eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong sneered and said, "Because you know too much." With his voice, he simply cut off the man's neck.
Lin Xu looked at all this in disbelief. She looked at her brother's back with some fear. It was not until her brother turned around and waved to her that she felt that the brother who had always depended on each other was back. While running to her brother, she had figured out many things in her mind...
Why are they so lucky to often discover small monster warehouses? Why are there often no monsters in those warehouses? Why have she never been attacked by monsters in person? Why can they enter and exit many dangerous areas in the crowd so easily?
She figured it out all at once...
Lin Zhong did not pay attention to his sister's thoughts at this time. He just looked at the three corpses on the ground and thought silently. For a moment, he was completely immersed in the air.
(There are six months left, and the upheaval will begin, and the world will collapse, but the monsters will carry out the strongest riots and counterattacks at that time. The people on the upper third level are basically dead. This fourth area is not safe. If it really doesn't work, I have to go to the lower level, but there are dangers in the lower level... No matter what, if I live again this time, no matter what, I must live with my sister! I will definitely not be as miserable as in the previous life, even my sister is...)
(I must survive the final big change, see what caused those monsters to be so scared and impatient to kill all humans!!)
