In a city that looks like ruins, the wind blows up a few dilapidated advertising leaflets and hits them on the half-broken glass. The bustling shops facing the street are dark, especially the disintegrated plastic models rolled to the ground. The severed hand resting on the corner is really a bit scary.

After all, this world is completely chaotic, even if there is a dead body lying there, it is not uncommon.
It has been a month since the end of the world began, and all valuable things have been searched, including nail clippers, tableware, and sports goods stores and electrical appliances stores that no one cares about. I got several cell phones. Fortunately, he was wearing a pair of broken slippers that he had just picked up on the side of the road, otherwise he would have died.
He moved down and glanced down.
It’s the best brand, and you always need a mobile phone with a starting price of 10,000. At the beginning, in the company, let alone a starlet, even a more sophisticated assistant had to buy one, but now it is thrown all over the floor together with the box. Next to it is a dark wreckage that appears to be a digital camera.
Not to mention the clothes in these shops, even the thicker and warmer curtains have been ripped away.
Xia Yi walked for a long time, and finally determined his goal. He carefully climbed up the fire escape stairs of a large supermarket. Although there is no electricity, those fire emergency lights are still good, and the passage indicators can be seen on the ground.
This is a very risky move. Large supermarkets are well sealed. This is to better store goods and reduce consumption when turning on the air conditioner. Now there is no ventilation. After another whole month, the air is so dull that it is impossible to breathe. So there is no one here, stray cats and dogs will look for a safer place, Xia Yi endured the feeling of dizziness, and saw a group of small red cockroaches crawling quickly in the dim light.
Carbon dioxide is denser than oxygen, and the lower the breathing position, the faster it will suffocate, so there are not even mice here, but there are cockroaches. Sure enough, science fiction always says that even if humans become extinct, insects, especially cockroaches, will adapt and continue to reproduce.
Generally, large supermarkets are divided into two floors, selling food and daily necessities respectively.
Xia Yigen didn't look for the food area, but walked along a row of messy toy shelves, kicked away a pile of cosmetics, and couldn't help being stunned when passing by a few bottles of inferior shampoo. But it didn't stop in the end, it just pulled a few pieces of clothes from the back of the children's clothes.
Xia Yi is trying to maintain shallow, slow and even breathing. He is not afraid of the dark. After going to the deep sea, Xia Yi's physical fitness has undergone some slight changes. At least after walking such a long distance, most people have already suffocated and fainted due to lack of oxygen. Xia Yi is just in a coma. Terribly.
From the nasal cavity to the chest, it was hot and dry, and this stuffiness urged Xia Yi to leave as soon as possible. T-shirt, grabbed two shirts, tore off a pair of trousers, and ran outside in a hurry.
When passing through the passageway on the second floor, Xia Yi was almost tripped by a big cardboard box, but a long cut was made on the arm supporting the ground. Looking down, it was a pill-like thing. The supermarket is of course No drugs, only milk tablets or—
Xia Yi, who suddenly woke up, resisted the suffocating dizziness, and hurriedly searched around, and soon found several boxes of effervescent tablets, stuffed them all into the ball of clothes, and finally leaned against the wall desperately. Move down, finally the air gets better as you go down, finally Xia Yi, who was lying in the fire escape, gasping for breath, couldn't help but smile wryly.
It turns out that in addition to being flooded, suffocation is also possible in other situations.
Getting up staggeringly, looking around for no one, Xia Yi threw away the messy cloth strips on her body, and barely put the clothes on her body. The light in the supermarket was dim, so I couldn’t check the size of the clothes. I just picked them up according to my feeling. As a result, the shirt was too small and the buttons couldn’t be fastened, and the pants were too big. I pulled off the label and saw that the size of the trousers turned out to be correct. After a month, has the person lost weight
Xia Yi leaned against the wall and thought carefully, whether she should take the risk of going up again.
The rubber gloves are waterproof, but they can't be stuffed with food, Xia Yi looked at the effervescent tablet wrapped in the extra shirt, a little hesitant. Well, these things are eaten by assistants who are too busy, little managers, and little stars, so Xia Yi is no stranger to them. Of course, the brands with good conditions will not be supermarket products, but speaking of them, it still makes sense , Work is too tiring and the body is sub-healthy. Vitamins are always supplemented. Multivitamin tablets are the most popular, so as not to eat many kinds.
But this kind of plastic bottle and capsule-like plate can not stand the sea foam.
Xia Yi rummaged through the store on the first floor of the supermarket for a while, but still couldn't find what she expected. The last thing she got was two jars of sour plum powder and sweet orange powder from a milk tea beverage store. Now clean fresh water is a scarce resource. Boiled water is even more valuable. After all, paper or other things need to be burned as fuel, and no one has the intention to search for such things, so it is cheaper for Xia Yi.
Wrapping these two things in a shirt, when I stumbled out the door, I could already vaguely see a pale dawn in the east—it was February, that is to say, it was almost five or six o'clock.
Xia Yi was very vigilant. I didn't meet anyone that night, because the survivors didn't dare to come out, they all hid in the houses on the tall buildings. The more aggressive ones probably heard the rumors of spider crabs, so they didn't dare to come at night. The shopping street in Haibin Park is different after dawn, and Xia Yi is carrying things again, so it's hard to say whether she will run into trouble.
People with supernatural powers are not omnipotent, and Xia Yi feels that it is quite unsafe for him to leave the sea. Among other things, at least if someone hits him with a brick from behind, even if he hears the wind, he will not react so quickly Speed, unlike in the sea, the fluctuations are orderly, and you can be alerted immediately if there is a slight change, and as long as the sea water is around, you can open a barrier in an instant.
Xia Yi couldn't help but think that seaside cities are probably not suitable for coming, but I don't know if there are any living people in the Hawaiian Islands or famous island tourist destinations. A comfortable house, good utensils and utensils, you can stay comfortably with a little tidying up.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
The seawall was close at hand, and Xia Yi was going to go far away and go back to a place with fewer people, so she found a big advertising stand as a cover, and stretched her head out to have a look.
"Sirens?"
Xia Yi was so startled that she almost bumped her head against the advertising shelf.
The dawn is getting brighter and brighter in the sky, and the beach is unobstructed again. Except for a few small stalls like pigeon cages and the management toll office, there is no shelter. On the sandy beach, leaning against a sloping reef, a mermaid that can only appear in fantasy movies or fairy tale pictures is lying there, with light silver long hair slightly curly, draped over bare/naked shoulders, always Covering his abdomen, the morning sun cast a magnificent light gold on his body, soft and gentle, just like a painting.
But this feeling is almost weird.
The people lying here and there on the seawall were all motionless, and the sea breeze blew in, and there was still an unpleasant smell, as if there were no living people on this beach—probably the same, if there were, would it be possible to treat the sirens as nothing
The sea breeze blew away the strange smell. Although it smelled fishy, it was very fresh.
When Xia Yi ran to Siren, she also saw several swimming crabs slowly crawling across the sand, one of them touched the light silver fish tail, Siren still closed his eyes, and the fish tail patted lightly, The unlucky swimming crab immediately sank into the sand, leaving only two pincers struggling desperately outside.
Well, compared to Gululu, this guy is too small and fragile!
"Sirens?"
Xia Yi yelled again, but the mermaid seemed to be asleep. She lay on the sand, her chest heaving slightly, and moved to a higher place on the reef, as if she wanted to sleep more comfortably.
[Sirens?]
[Huh... Ah, you're back?]
The Siren lazily propped himself up from the sand, of course only his upper body, the sea sand covered his hair and skin, and rolled down, he didn't care, just smiled and looked at Xia Yi.
This appearance is like the one I saw at the beginning, the one who fell from the Thalassa cruise ship.
It coincides with the dream just now!
[Siren, why did you come ashore?]
[There is something to eat here.]
The mermaid took it for granted, and stretched out her hand to touch Xia Yi's face. Dissatisfied with the cold temperature, she immediately pulled hard and hugged her directly, while someone who fell on the beach looked around strangely.
How is it possible, this place is empty everywhere, except for the few swimming crabs that passed by just now, there is almost nothing edible.
[Where is the person who was guarding the beach?]
[…do not know.]The Siren thought for a while, but still found a very safe answer.
The mermaid devoured the energy, even if those people were sent to the hospital before the end of the world for rescue, the only conclusion they got was brain death. But people with a strong will can always resist singing to a certain extent, especially those with supernatural powers, or those who are not dark in nature and not occupied by extreme despair will survive by chance, because singing has little effect on them, and may even can not hear.
The implication of inheriting the memory to the mermaid is that humans must not be allowed to know about it.
[Then you came ashore and didn't see anything?]
Xia Yi is just unreasonable, he is not stupid.
A vague feeling was telling him that the big man guarding the beach and the few people fishing on the sea that he saw last night are all bad luck, but the problem is that the spider crab has been almost killed by sea monsters. Ren is not Abiser or Uribia. Even if mermaids are cannibals, they can't eat that much.
Xia Yi didn't notice that among the people lying still on the seawall, there were those people from last night.
Siren thought for a moment, last night was pitch black.
[Except you, I didn't see it.]
[…]
Looking at the sky, Xia Yi felt that there was no time to ask any more questions. The ruined city would soon become noisy, and it was inevitable that people would come to the beach. In such a world, it is better to have one more thing than one less thing. If trouble comes to you...
Let's go back to the sea!
"Monster, monster..."
An old man collapsed in a hut by the sea, muttering in a querulous way, the infrasound wave stimulated him to tremble continuously, arcs of electric arcs continuously appeared between the fingers as old as tree bark, and the man next to him could still be saved, but his whole body twitched and his mouth twitched. Apart from foaming and half-dead state, there was no sound on the beach.
Xia Yi pulled the siren into the sea with great difficulty, but the water was too shallow, so she could only slightly control the waves. By the way, the clothes were covered with shallow water, and the jars of pills brought back from the shore were also wrapped in shirts, and they were directly frozen into a lump of ice, controlling it to follow not far or near.
Xia Yi was a little dazed as she passed by the fishing net that was obviously torn out with big holes.
There are a few larger fish hanging up and down the fishing net. Because the giant fishing net has not been pulled up by machinery for a whole month, these fish entangled in the fishing net have starved to death and are floating in the sea in a strange posture.
Xia Yi suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The garbage and plastic bags floating in front of him reminded him that he had just left a pair of broken slippers on the beach. When the tide rose, they would be washed into the sea and become part of the garbage...
The siren was even more unwilling to stay in this place than he was. There was obviously a strange smell in the sea water, and the waves that came out were all grayish white.
But I still feel curious, eels generally live in pure waters, and how can electric eels appear here? But if it wasn't for the electric eel, what happened to the sudden paralysis in the sea water last night
The land is really not a suitable place to get close to... Siren felt that he didn't like it very much, even the sea water near the land!
[what is this?]
Siren asked, pointing to the lump of ice.
[Some...something that humans eat?]
[Don't human beings eat cooked things?]
Just as Xia Yi was about to answer, she suddenly came to her senses and asked vigilantly: [You actually know that human beings are cooked food?]
[This is no secret.]
The mermaid's natural answer made Xia Yi silent.
So he's been eating oysters (oysters) all the time, what the hell is going on with sashimi? Uh, well, only humans can cook cooked things, and it would be impossible to ask mermaids or sea monsters to produce a grilled fish.
[By the way, there are actually cooked things on the bottom of the sea!]
[what?]
[In the Cayman Trench.]
Xia Yi, who never asked where Fei Chaz was, of course will not be fooled this time, especially the name is Trench! Be sure to ask:
[Where is that place?]
[Undersea volcano.]
Wait, it's the place that the turtle Taomas mentioned, the undersea volcano that never goes out all the year round, the magma slowly overflows, and it can form crimson waves hundreds of kilometers long on the seabed, and the very hot water actually There are also fish, including the hottest crater, and there are also delicious white shrimps, which are very crispy and delicious, but they are hard to eat. Tao Masi said that after rushing in, he rushed out at the fastest speed. There was smoke, four fins hurt for more than ten days and I couldn't move. I seriously suspected that my whole body was cooked...
According to the description, it must be 150 degrees. Sea monsters, especially turtles, have very old skin and thick shells.
The fish and shrimp there... Well, the things cooked in water over 100 degrees are indeed cooked, but do they count as those who are still alive and swimming in the water? Can it really be considered a familiar thing
Xia Yi felt that the logic was confused. Logically speaking, water above 100 degrees would turn into water vapor.
How bizarre is the Cayman Trench!
The author has something to say: Night Breeze has watched many documentaries about seawater pollution and fish entanglement in fishing nets... especially the dolphin in "Ocean" that was entangled to death by fishing nets and gradually immobilized o(>﹏
