Translator: Pluto Editor: Tehrn
Puppeteer mentioned that Lin Sanjiu would fare better if she died of starvation in the depths of the ocean But from the current circumstances, it probably wouldn’t happen because…
Lin Sanjiu was standing right in front of the doors of a Mcdonald’s
—
It has already been a ht by Puppeteer Lin Sanjiu had not a single good night’s sleep for the entire month, so she had very obvious dark eye circles As she couldn’t find portable water, she could only sustain herself with coffee; thus, she was constantly in a sleep-deprived, hyperaroused state Despite this, she did not give up searching for clues regarding the whereabouts of BRabbit and the others
The Puppeteer had probably decided to settle down at the pier because his mannequins occupied the entire coastal area Due to this situation, Lin Sanjiu did not dare to go near the shore She could only search in a circular manner as she continued deeper into the ocean
But her search was futile, and she even got lost
Logically speaking, it was quite predictable If a person was thrown in the middle of the ocean without a nautical chart or a cos By that point, Lin Sanjiu did not knohere the shore was, and that could be a life-threatening problem
Without any seawater, the sun-baked seabed eo away The seabed was not entirely flat, and soon she saw more seamounts and knolls until the terrain was like a forest of rolling hills After cli quite a few of these hills, Lin Sanjiu stood ue sense of anxiousness
She took stock of her supplies and realized that she had only three boxes of chocolates left She was al out of food, but she was still clueless about the road ahead
When she reached the peak, she looked out and saw that there was a fissure on the ground about one kilometer away, and as it only looked like a patch of black, she couldn’t tell much about it She only knew that it was an oceanic trench
After coe of the trench
Even though the probability of finding food in the deep sea was even slimmer, Lin Sanjiu was very curious as she had never seen an oceanic trench before She leaned over the edge and looked down The seabed instantly fell away, and it was as if her feet were dangerously close to a cliff’s edge It fell steeply a few thousand meters down into the dark, deep base of the trench without a single gentle slope It was iht sky to reach the trench, so Lin Sanjiu could only see an indiscernible darkness and the extremely steep precipice
[Anyone who still thinks about cli this must be crazy] Lin Sanjiu rebuked herself as she held on to a jutting rock with some difficulty and climbed doard carefully Her palms hurt badly as they were scratched by the abrasive surface of the rocks and the salt crystals on them Even professional rock cli climb If her body weren’t physically enhanced, this trench would have easily been her burial ground
"Why didn’t you turn back just now?" she asked herself a little regretfully
[So what if I’ toward the flatter areas, there should be a better chance of survival than going down this trench, right?]
Just when she had decided to turn back, she suddenly heard a familiar sound She had not heard this sound since the New World had descended It was the sound of water
It sounded like waves gently hitting the sides of the rock wall Lin Sanjiu crouched for awhat the seawater would look like Even if almost the whole world has died, in the depths of the ocean, there was still water, and she was still alive Just like how mankind will still live on
The sound of the waves reminded Lin Sanjiu of her one peaceful, ordinary, and even a little boring, life She leaned against the rocky wall, pausing to listen to the waves for quite soe her o down
But, while she was staring blankly at the botto by in the darkness The light flickered for a few times as if there was a bad electrical connection before it finally stabilized The eye-catching bright yellow light illuolden arches
[Mcdonald's]
For a split second, Lin Sanjiu thought that she finally had a nervous breakdown due to the various events she went through after the apocalypse It did not n in the middle of the deep sea when the whole world was already destroyed
[No It isn’t only a sign] Lin Sanjiu was duht beside the M-shaped sign As if she could even hear the "Bzzt!" as the electricity ran through the fluorescent lights, a Mcdonald’s restaurant lit up in the darkness, right in front of her eyes
The entrance was lit by a warht, and since it was very far away, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t see the restaurant clearly, but she could clearly read the white on red "McDonald’s"
