Shirley's mental state gave Zheng Xiu a familiar feeling.
Orange Cat and Zheng Xiu said in unison: "Pollution."
It's a bit like a demented thaumaturge.
Face filth with a human body.
There are always some weird symptoms.
When Mia returned to Shirley's car with the news.
After Zheng Xiu and Orange Cat looked at each other, they took a half step back in tacit agreement and exited the carriage.
Their thoughts are very synchronized at this moment: the aberrant creatures in this world are absolutely inseparable from the false gods hiding in the dark. If Shirley eats the flesh and blood of the aberrant creatures, let’s not say whether there will be any changes and become aberrant or aberrant. Humanoid or something, at the very least, she was forced to bear the mark of a false god. If Zheng Xiu got too close or was so arrogant that he released his authority or divinity unscrupulously, he would most likely be killed by the false god hiding in the dark. God is aware of it.
The outcome is still an all-out war to the death.
"But you don't have to worry." Although Zheng Xiu did not step forward to carefully examine Shirley's body, Shirley's complexion was rosy at the moment, her breathing and heartbeat were strong, and she did not look like she was dying, so he said to Mia: "Your sister has gone through too much. , it takes a certain amount of time to get mentally frustrated.”
Mia was worried about her sister's condition, but for some reason, at this moment, she had sincere trust in the humanoids who controlled her destiny. That sense of unfounded trust made her feel at ease. This feeling is different from the previous feeling of being forced to cling to the Fire Rat.
When Zheng Xiu mentioned that he wanted to find a believer in the dark night, Mia immediately took over the matter.
Zheng Xiu was curious about how Mia found it, so he followed Mia to another carriage, where there was a "radio station" with a metal shell. The radio has been well cared for, the surface has been polished to a high shine, all traces of rust have been wiped away, and it is regularly oiled until it shines brightly. The upright-looking radio station was placed on the table. The front panel was inlaid with a blurry glass panel, with a pointer inside that jumped from time to time. Under the glass panel, there were many knobs representing frequency bands and frequencies.
Two completely different world views slightly confronted each other in Zheng Xiu's memory. Evaluating it from the world view of the Daqian Dynasty, this machine is undoubtedly an epoch-making product. But judging from Zheng Xiu's own experience, it was the first time for him to see such an "ancient" communication product, and he was quite curious.
Mia sat in front of the radio station, put on her headphones, and skillfully operated the knobs on the radio station.
"Zizzizi——"
The harsh sound of electricity filled the car.
Time passed by minute by second, and this process was very boring. In this time of the world, the connections between people are fragmented by disasters. Contacting another group of people is not an easy task that can be accomplished immediately.
Zheng Xiu sat aside, took out the booklet recording the legend of the Lady of the Night from the warehouse, and read it with relish.
The entire pamphlet is full of praise for the Lady of the Night, exaggerating it to such an extent that the gods would tremble when they raise their hands. If you are not a believer reading this pamphlet, you will have to sneer at her.
But Zheng Xiu was different. The more he read, the better he felt. The person he was bragging about in the book was his wife.
Reading word by word, Zheng Xiu imagined the scene hundreds of years ago when the world collapsed and Feng Bei, dressed in black and wearing a crow's face, turned the tide and fought against the false gods.
Bits and pieces of past events emerged in Zheng Xiu's mind. The couple were originally birds of the same forest, but now Feng Bei has flown farther than him and reached a wider world. This ending makes Zheng Xiu inexplicably a little sad.
The orange cat opened its eyes and snored in Zheng Xiu's arms, its nose quivering, making snoring sounds one after another.
Because of the presence of "bats", orange cats dare not fall asleep and dream. But this does not prevent her from snoring and pretending to be sleeping. "Fake sleep" can also refresh her mind.
Putting the Lady of the Night brochure away again, Zheng Xiu leaned on the iron plate, closing his eyes and meditating.
He took the time to think about the "quick fix" that Orange Cat said, and put "authority" in a "shell" to create a posture that could best exert the power of authority.
In fact, when Orange Cat explained this point, Zheng Xiu had vague thoughts in his mind. But when he was thinking about it over and over, his thoughts were mixed with the images of the riddle arm, the slot machine, and the images of the ten forms of the former prisoner's treacherous things. The chaos made Zheng Xiu hesitate to make up his mind.
Anne said that this was originally something that "happened naturally". If you had to use a "quick fix" method, it would require a certain amount of luck. A forcibly made shell may not have the best "compatibility" with authority. To put it bluntly, it requires a certain "opportunity." Although the twisted melon can quench thirst, it is not sweet enough.
"Zizzizi——"
The sound of electricity still sounded in the room from time to time. This radio station is not a big thing used by the military before the disaster. It is just a gadget left by civilian collectors. It is considered good if it works. The signal can only cover area 32 at best.
"Found it!"
After about two hours, Mia also sat in front of the machine and turned the knob for two hours. Suddenly, she screamed and her breath hitched.
A strong wind blew inside the house, and Zheng Xiu brought the wind to behind Mia.
"Shh!"
Mia turned her head and raised an index finger to her lips to tell Zheng Xiu not to speak. She covered the earphones with her other hand and quickly picked up a pen to write something in the notebook.
"Shashasha..."
The rough charcoal pen writes and draws on the yellowed paper, which seems to be a few messy words.
"Three days", "Rally", "Zero o'clock", "Train".
At the end, Mia's face changed slightly and she quickly wrote a word.
Zheng Xiu has read a lot of books and can basically read the languages of this world without any difficulty.
The last word Mia wrote was a title - "Mrs."
Taking off her headphones, Mia breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, she had a strange thought in her mind: "I finally lived up to my boss's expectations."
"Three days later, at midnight, nearby believers will gather at the secret meeting place in District 32."
"They will hold a grand banquet to welcome the spokesperson of the Lady of the Night in the new era."
"A humanoid they call 'The Lady'."
Zheng Xiu was stunned when he heard this: "Ms. Night's spokesperson?"
Spokesperson?
This... it seems that Feng Bei is really no different from a god in the minds of believers.
The followers of the Lady of the Night are all in pieces.
Comparing himself... Zheng Xiu looked at Mia, and the man's desire to win in the couple strangely surged up, making Zheng Xiu feel like he was being compared.
He never expected that his wife would go further than him on the road to "becoming a god".
Although he was very happy, Zheng Xiu felt a little complicated.
In the Orange Cat setting, the "saint" is originally equivalent to the protagonist of the world, blessed with luck. Once external forces intervened, Fengbei's situation was equivalent to being blessed by the two masters, and it made great progress.
Mia carefully observed the boss's expression and figured out Zheng Xiu's thoughts.
When the boss first heard the news, he showed a happy expression at first. Did this mean he was bellicose? Then he became solemn again. Could it be that the boss was also afraid of Ms. Noir's spokesperson?
"Report to the boss,"
Mia puffed up her chest and straightened her back in front of Zheng Xiu: "Mia learned from the eavesdropping just now that the 'Madam' mentioned by the followers of the night seems to be a humanoid."
There are also all kinds of characters in this world.
Zheng Xiu estimated that these "roles" were probably not set by false gods, but were born naturally due to changes in the environment.
For example, Mia and other "survivors" who live underground and worry about supplies and survival every day.
The "Predators" are a brutal armed group that lives by plundering "survivors" and operates in the surrounding areas.
In the post-apocalyptic era, "cannibals" have completely lost their humanity and will do anything to survive.
Variations have also occurred due to environmental factors, including but not limited to humans. Monsters that were born in harsh environments due to the law of survival of the fittest and move on the surface, without reason and only a simple desire to prey - "aberrations".
Finally, there is the human species, which stands out from the "aberrations" and has a mutated body. It is a "new human being" that can ignore the harsh environment, possess strength, agility and wisdom far beyond human beings, and even has various strange abilities - "humanoid" ".
This is why Mia was so cautious and tried to communicate when she met Zheng Xiu and confirmed that Zheng Xiu was a "humanoid".
At that time, when the fire rat learned that this humanoid was a bit "uninformed of the world," he immediately ordered Mia to find a way to lure the humanoid back to the camp to try to cooperate and communicate.
Whichever camp can be sheltered by humanoids is equivalent to having a guarantee of survival.
The predecessors of humanoids were also humans - at least they were humans once, and they also had human preferences and desires. Unlike aberrant creatures, humanoids are able to communicate. Fire Rat believes that to impress humanoids, it is nothing more than negotiating conditions, such as food, territory, materials, women, etc.
After a brief exchange, Zheng Xiu's calm expression made Mia put aside her uneasiness about "Mrs."
In her opinion, even if the "wife" of the Lady of the Night's followers is a humanoid, she will never be more powerful than the humanoid in front of her. She had seen with her own eyes that Zheng Xiu killed the Fire Rat Gang camp that was armed to the teeth with just a few moves. Bulletproof guns, iron walls, and bullets were nothing more than child's play in front of this humanoid.
Boss, that's terrible.
This kind of fear now falls on me, but it has become a different kind of "peace of mind".
Zheng Xiu stayed in the camp comfortably for three days.
In the past three days, Shirley's condition gradually stabilized. She only occasionally scratched all the seats in the abandoned carriage with her sharp nails, causing the yellowed cotton inside to cover the carriage.
Several frail but still pretty women vaguely proposed to stay in bed, but Zheng Xiu refused.
As the apparent leader of the new "Orange Cat Club", Mia spent three days reintegrating the remaining survivors, distributing equipment, and arranging patrol routes.
Nothing happened for three days.
Soon it was the third night promised by the believers in the dark night.
Mia put on all the equipment, carried a heavy backpack, checked the integrity of the ammunition and guns, put on a gas mask, and followed Zheng Xiu out of the camp.
Zheng Xiu also brought two young men with him on this trip, one named Jimmy and the other Jim, who are half-brothers. "Brothers" are also a scarce product in this post-apocalyptic era, and they are one of the few remaining "connections" between people.
The elder brother Jimmy is an excellent sniper, and the younger brother Jim exercises regularly. He has a strong body and strong muscles, and carries a semi-automatic shotgun on his back.
When the Fire Rats were around, weapons were strictly managed, and they usually couldn't touch such well-maintained weapons. When they walked out of the camp, they touched sniper rifles and shotguns with the same expressions as touching women, with enthusiasm and fascination.
"Boss, you, are you going out like this?"
Zheng Xiu is still wearing the same clothes as when he came here, a long gown that is thin and incompatible with the times, and his chest is bulging. In addition to the pectoralis major muscle drum, I heard that there is also a piece of spare food hidden inside...ah, the boss's pet, a cat named Annie.
In their understanding, even if this simple decoration is bitten by a rat or poisonous spider in the passage behind the safety door, let alone walking out of the ground, they will die on the spot. There is no second possibility.
"Let's go."
Zheng Xiu didn't explain too much, smiled and waved his hand, then walked into the long, narrow and dark passage along the way he came.
When he arrived at the security door, Zheng Xiu pressed his palm on the security door. The "little eyeballs" he drew when he came were still there.
After a few pats, the inconspicuous "eyeball painting" on the security door brightened slightly and then dimmed.
"Zhizhizhi——"
After passing through the safety door and reaching the main sewer, the space becomes spacious.
The cries of rats came from all directions. Zheng Xiu's ears twitched slightly. The cries of rats came from all directions, one wave after another, like a tide. He was startled and rushed deeper.
"Damn rats."
Jim turned on the miner's lamp on his hat and shined it into the depths of the sewer. The swarms of rats were like black shadows, forced back by the light, and disappeared into various gaps with a splash.
Mia whispered to Zheng Xiu: "Jim and Jimmy's father contracted the plague after being bitten by a mouse. Because there was no medicine, he died after a few days."
Soon the sound of rats disappeared from the sewer without a trace. Zheng Xiu looked at the darkness deep in the sewer, thoughtfully.
"It's hard to find."
Zheng Xiu sighed softly, he still knew too little about this world. The false god must be hiding somewhere in this world, especially after Zheng Xiu learned about the history of the "Ms. of the Night", he became even more convinced of this.
Feng Bei had a fight with the false god hundreds of years ago. At that time, Feng Bei did not have the power to completely destroy the false god and let the false god survive. Hundreds of years are nothing to a god. After the false god encountered Feng Bei, he was beaten up. At this moment, he might Hiding somewhere, secretly recovering. If Zheng Xiu guessed correctly, he had invaded this place just at the moment when the false god was most "weak".
If there wasn't too little information, he would have wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him and show off his authority and fight vigorously.
call!
Leaving the sewer, several people carefully opened the manhole cover and climbed out.
The place they appeared this time was in the middle of the street, with underground passages extending in all directions. The territory controlled by the Fire Rat Gang had several different manhole cover exits.
call! call! call!
Except for Zheng Xiu who was breathing freely, Mia, Jim, and Jimmy were breathing heavily through the filters of their masks.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, many people would not be able to imagine with their own eyes that in a city that once had civilization, after all signs of civilization declined, the world became dull and dark.
The sky was obscured by a thick cloud of dust, there were no stars, no moon, and no lights in the city. At a glance, there was nothing visible, only the howling cold wind and the screams that sounded from time to time in the city.
The ground at night is a paradise for aberrant creatures.
