in a narrow carriage.
Mia sat uncomfortably across from Zheng Xiu - the "humanoid" who controlled the Fire Rat Gang... no, now the Orange Cat Club had the power of life and death in the camp.
There is a stack of books neatly placed on the table, which Mia has worked hard to collect from the camp. "Books" can be considered a kind of material in this era, but compared to food, bullets, medical supplies, anti-virus filters and other materials related to survival, they are not so urgently needed.
As expected, Zheng Xiu picked up the top copy of "Girls of the Times" and read it with gusto.
He is indeed such a humanoid!
Mia was convinced of this with anguish.
There was still half a cup of coffee liquid left in the coffee cup. Zheng Xiu didn't seem to regard Mia as an outsider, so he casually rubbed an ice cube and threw it into the cup.
This scene made Mia's eyelids jump.
The act of rubbing ice cubes casually is no different from "magic" in Mia's eyes.
The orange cat on the side is even more outrageous.
The book says this is a creature called a "cat".
But cats...is this like this?
Aren’t cats only capable of acting like a coquettish girl and jumping high?
The cat sitting next to Zheng Xiu, in front of Mia, opened the can with his paw, found a fork and forked a piece of pickled fish in the can, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and spit out the whole thing with great precision. fish bones. After eating, he could throw the can in the corner, wipe his mouth gracefully with Zheng Xiu's sleeve, and squat on the sofa wiping his tears, looking extremely moved.
Whether it is the humanoid Zheng Xiu or the orange cat named Annie, they are subverting and updating Mia's three views.
"What's so pretty, meow?"
The satiated orange cat approached Zheng Xiu, curiously wanting to see what Zheng Xiu was looking at. Unexpectedly, he saw some vulgar powder that was eye-catching, and the orange cat looked disdainful. This is not elegant at all, so ungraceful, ah, can you actually pose like this?
The orange cat's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
Zheng Xiu didn't pay attention to the orange cat's reaction. He calmly closed the fashion magazine with a beautiful cover, put it aside, and explained: "I am trying my best to learn the words of this world. I read some books and learn more. quick."
The orange cat secretly pressed the book under his butt.
Zheng Xiu picked out one book from a pile of books - "The Birth of a Great Civilization" and started to read it. Multitasking, Zheng Xiu asked about the situation in Mia's camp: "Has your sister been settled?"
Mia twisted her clothes uneasily with her hands. Zheng Xiu finally broke the silence in the carriage, making Mia let out a long sigh of relief and nodded vigorously: "It's settled. Really, Mia doesn't know how to thank you. You... "
"Call me boss."
Zheng Xiu smiled and resolved Mia's dilemma about addressing Zheng Xiu.
"Okay, boss." Mia nodded obediently. She suddenly remembered that before she woke up, Zheng Xiu pressed a big hand on her head. In her eyes, there seemed to be a brilliant halo of light behind Zheng Xiu, which made her intoxicated and addicted. She missed this feeling and wanted to know what it was all about. Now when she looked up at the tall and handsome humanoid in front of her, what lingered in Mia's mind was the evil figure stretching its wings in the sky under the dim dust cloud that day, and the sentence that lingered in her ears. "Those who believe in me will break out of their cocoons and be reborn."
Zheng Xiu flipped through the books boredly. The titles of the books were lofty, but the contents were empty and pale. I shouted slogans throughout the article, but I didn’t understand what was said. Zheng Xiu read one book in a flash, and after absorbing the written information, he continued to rummage through the pile of books. After skipping two strange books with enchanting covers, a shabby booklet caught Zheng Xiu's attention.
"To the Great Lady of the Night?"
Zheng Xiu frowned and turned to the back. The booklet had the smell of a street brochure. It was thin and about the size of a palm. On the back was a silhouette of a crow-headed man in black. The simple silhouette gave Zheng Xiu a familiar feeling. .
While flipping through the booklet, Zheng Xiu asked Mia a question from time to time.
Time passed little by little, and with Mia's knowledge, Zheng Xiu had a preliminary understanding of the world.
The history of the world that Mia traces can be traced back to the vague "hundreds of years ago."
Hundreds of years ago, this was a world with highly developed technology.
There used to be many "countries" in the world with obviously different customs, civilizations, and languages. Exchanges, trade, and communication between countries maintained the operation of the world.
And one day hundreds of years ago, the "devil" came, and a terrible demon appeared in the sky. Legend has it that the demon's face covered the sky and the sun. He had tens of thousands of eyes on his face, and each eye opened. If opened, hundreds of thousands of people will die; the devil's smile can cause landslides and tsunamis, and the devil's whispers can take away the minds of hundreds of millions of people and make countless people become slaves of the devil.
Under the demon's command, there is a huge demon army. The demon legions are monsters with wings on their backs and fangs on their faces. The demon legions burn the earth wantonly, lift people into the sky, and cruelly tear them into pieces and swallow them into their stomachs.
The war between humans and demons broke out, and the earth was devastated in the blink of an eye. The surviving humans built military shelters one after another, and launched a fierce counterattack against the demons while lingering.
Planes, missiles, artillery, tanks, steel giants, and finally nuclear bombs. Human beings hundreds of years ago tried every means and every means they could think of.
The city was shrouded in flames of war, and charred corpses littered the mountains and plains. Demons with outstretched wings built their nests on skyscrapers burning with raging fire, and piled human corpses into hills as food reserves.
This war between humans and demons lasted for ten years.
The glorious civilization of mankind was burned to death because of this war, leaving only a spark.
However, civilization is almost destroyed.
"In despair, night falls."
"A blood red deeper than dusk,"
"The eternal night is deeper than obsidian,"
"That is a more moving figure than any woman in the world,"
"That's a pair of arms more deadly than any cannon fire,"
"The devil crawls at the lady's feet,"
"The gods tremble at the ravings of the lady,"
"The Lady of Night brought eternal night to the world, but also defeated the gods."
"The faces of the gods in the sky were easily torn apart by the lady's arms,"
"The flesh and blood of billions of demons turned into rain and sprinkled on the earth,"
"The sky did not clear up because of this. The arrival of the Lady of the Night brought dusk and eternal night to the world, as well as tranquility."
"Praise to the Lady of the Night."
"..."
Mia narrated this paragraph in a tone that sounded like an endorsement.
Zheng Xiu read the second half to the booklet with Mia.
The contents of the book.
In the second half, Anne's attention was also drawn and she listened quietly.
Finally, Zheng Xiu and Annie looked at each other.
They suspect...
Zheng Xiu asked about Bat brand cans.
Mia said this was the formula left by the Lady of the Night.
Followers of the Lady of the Night took over the factory and produced many batches of cans, benefiting the world.
"Uh, sure enough."
Based on the previous article, Zheng Xiu has been able to confirm that the Lady of the Night they are talking about is undoubtedly Feng Bei.
Feng Bei, who was kidnapped by the Orange Cat's nemesis "Bat Lord", is active in this world as the "Ms. of the Night".
"You mean, Feng... no, Lady Night is already a character from hundreds of years ago? Is she still there?"
Mia was stunned. She didn't understand why her boss paid special attention to Lady Noir.
"Boss... you are also... a believer of... Lady of the Night?"
Mia asked cautiously.
"Haha, don't ask more questions than you should."
"I'm sorry, boss, Mia realizes her mistake."
Mia quickly lowered her head. She gave herself a few big blows in her heart. She hated herself for speaking so freely. She answered honestly: "Boss, Mia is not a believer of Lady Night, so she doesn't know much about Lady Night. But Most people believe that the Lady of the Night, after slaying the demon, left...and left our world."
"Has it been hundreds of years... In other words, Feng Bei has been drifting outside for at least hundreds of years."
Zheng Xiu thought silently in his heart and threw "To the Great Lady of the Night" into the warehouse.
His and Feng Bei's principles intersected in this world, looming. At that time, Zheng Xiu had already suspected that Feng Bei had already left this world. When this matter was confirmed from the "history" narrated by Mia, even Zheng Xiu, who had become a god, couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"but……"
Mia suddenly remembered something: "There is one thing, I don't know if the boss is interested."
"Um?"
"Recently, there have been many wandering night believers near Area 32. I heard that they came from Area 12 in the south and spanned thousands of kilometers. They wanted to exchange transportation with us that can pass through Area 32 and continue north. road map."
"You mean..."
"When the Fire Rats were negotiating with the Night Believers, Mia was also present. They seemed very anxious at the time. They seemed to be looking for something...a 'relic' related to the Lady of the Night."
Mia walked out of the carriage and closed the door tightly.
Zheng Xiu gently picked at the knot on his forehead and fell into deep thought.
"This lady of the night must be her, yes, she left?"
"The 'history' Mia talks about seems to be a bit different from the environment we feel now."
"Mia said that hundreds of years ago, the Lady of the Night appeared from the sky, killed the demon army, and killed the 'demon' in this world. I understand this 'demon' to be our original goal, okay? Can it be transformed into the night? Madam's Fengbei killed our target and left? But before we invaded, we could clearly feel that there was still the aura of authority of the false gods here."
"Is it possible that Fengbei was completely wiped out at that time, but new ones have grown over the past few hundred years?"
Hearing Zheng Xiu's analysis, the orange cat couldn't help laughing like a dog: "Meow! Are you kidding me? Do you think the power of the false god is the leek on the roadside? It will last forever? Hundreds of years of time will do the trick. The source of the sea is just a snap of the fingers, and the effort of eating a piece of cake is over. If I can really grow a new authority in such a short time, I will swallow this dirty authority with sauce."
The orange cat thought it was impossible and put down the words.
"You mean, Feng Bei failed to completely kill the other party?"
The orange cat held her chin up with her paws. It was obvious that what she just said was not said casually without thinking, but was carefully considered. After a moment of silence, Annie continued: "If Feng Bei is the only one, I don't think this is strange. But she is followed by... Bah! That damn bat! That damn bat! That damn bat!" When mentioning the bat, Anne again He broke his guard, his expression was ferocious, and his tone suddenly changed: "That damn bat, I know him well. He never does anything mercilessly. When he does things, he usually gets things done."
Zheng Xiu glanced at the orange cat and nodded silently, indeed. But he asked: "General?"
"Unless He has a more important purpose."
As the saying goes, it is the enemy who knows himself best. Cats and bats are hostile, and cats have a say in understanding the dominance of bats.
"It's useless to think so much."
Orange cats seem to lose their cool when it comes to things related to "bats".
Zheng Xiu pressed the orange cat's head, grabbed the cat, and stuffed it into his clothes.
"You can find out if you go and ask someone."
Stepping out of the carriage, many women and young men survived in the camp.
It is almost impossible for the elderly and children to survive in the apocalypse.
It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to women as an alternative "material" in this world.
After Zheng Xiu's "big cleanup", there were only about twenty people left in the new Orange Cat Club. Among them, half are women and half are young people.
More than a dozen young people in the former Fire Rat Gang were those who dared to be angry but dare not speak out. After Zheng Xiu used thunderous means to clean up the camp, they all learned that Mia had become the leader of the new gang, but in Mia Above Ya, there is also a terrifying humanoid who becomes their supreme emperor.
This humanoid is the current real "power holder" of the Orange Cat Society.
Zheng Xiu walked in the narrow corridor. The half-clothed woman tried her best to suppress fear and anxiety in her eyes, but she tried her best to show her flattering gaze. At a glance, the women were trembling and huddled by the corridor, looking at themselves furtively with such close eyes. This situation made Zheng Xiu quite uncomfortable.
"This is how a saint appears in front of people." The orange cat seemed to have seen through Zheng Xiu's thoughts, and said lazily with a crooked mouth: "Don't forget that you are a real god now. Human beings have deep feelings for gods and the unknown from the bottom of their hearts. Worship is only half of it after all, fear and awe are the norm.”
Zheng Xiu looks for Mia in the Orange Cat Club’s camp.
Just do what you say, Zheng Xiu is now full of energy and does not need to rest. He wants Mia to lead the way to find the night believers lurking in Area 32.
Of course, he can't find it himself, but since he has developed local believers, it will be in vain if he doesn't use it.
Developing believers is also a new thing for Zheng Xiu. He wants to see how far God can influence believers. This can be regarded as a small experiment for Zheng Xiu when he first became a god.
When Mia was found, her eyes were red and she was crying and saying something in an abandoned carriage.
Her surviving sister, Shirley, who was only seven years old, was huddled in the car at the moment, her eyes were like those of a dead person, and she was sitting there motionless. No matter how Mia shouted, Shirley did not respond at all.
Zheng Xiu stood quietly for a while. It wasn't until he coughed twice that Mia suddenly became aware of Zheng Xiu's presence. She wiped away her tears in a panic and tried her best to smile: "Boss, do you have any orders?"
As soon as Zheng Xiu took a step forward, the little female cat nestled in Zheng Xiu's clothes let out a meaningful "Oh~" sound: "Which trick do you want to use again?"
"Huh? You mean?"
"That's how you win people's hearts."
"Don't talk nonsense. I've said it so many times. This is called human nature. Gods should be aloof, but there's nothing wrong with being down to earth occasionally."
One god and one cat use "high-speed divine words" to beep twice to complete simple communication.
Zheng Xiu moved his lips and completed the communication with the orange cat in a slight "buzzing" sound, but in Mia's eyes, her boss walked over in a few steps, with a calm smile and gentleness on his face from beginning to end.
The strong pectoralis major muscles are like two small motors, beating with the boss's pace.
Mia was stunned.
"let me see."
Zheng Xiu gently patted Mia on the shoulder and motioned her to step aside, and Zheng Xiu got into the car.
Shirley, who had empty eyes, suddenly raised her head when Zheng Xiu stepped into the carriage, revealing her red and white teeth.
There was still fire rat flesh and blood between her teeth.
"Huh?" After looking around for a few times, Zheng Xiu noticed something strange. Although Shirley suffered a lot of abuse, the Fire Rat gang didn't seem to be perverted enough to behave like beasts to children of this age. To Zheng Xiu, there seemed to be something wrong with Shirley's mental state.
After getting out of the carriage and letting Mia go out to inquire, Mia finally learned a terrible thing from a woman who had frequently been in and out of the Fire Rat's room.
"What!" Mia was shocked: "The Fire Rats and the others gave Shirley the meat of an aberrant creature just for fun?"
