"Woo——"
Boom boom boom boom——
Among the mountains, there are lush green trees, and a train is driving on the track covered with vines, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, and thick black smoke is emitting from the front part of the train.
There was a continuous coughing sound in all the carriages.
boom!
Suddenly, the front of the car shook violently, and with a violent vibration, Jim, who was in charge of driving the train, suddenly pulled the emergency brake.
The wheel was seized, and the high-speed rolling wheel slid on the railway track for hundreds of meters, and finally came to a stop amid the terrifying smoke.
The train had not yet stopped, and the passengers on the train, numbering in the hundreds, rushed out of the train as if running for their lives.
This train is naturally the Cat that escaped from Area 32.
It has been the third day and night since the rat attack in Area 32.
After leaving Area 32, the Maomao did not stop and headed north.
Thick black smoke came out of the cab, and the Jiji brothers stumbled out of the cab. The two brothers, who had survived the disaster, looked at each other. Even though they were wearing masks, they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but they looked at each other. Yes, they burst into hearty laughter at the same time.
Zheng Xiu held the cat in his arms. In the past few days, Yue Linglong used the remaining fabrics to sew a fitting robe for her husband. It was embroidered with faint leaf vein patterns, giving it an antique flavor.
Zheng Xiu tore off the last piece of clothing himself.
"what happened?"
After Zheng Xiu appeased everyone, he walked up to Brother Jiji and asked.
Jim scratched his head. To be honest, they didn't know why the car suddenly broke down. Anyway, all the way out, the alarm on the dashboard never stopped. It was red more often than green. It was God’s blessing that I could drive it till now.
"Maybe..." Jimmy took out the only precious maintenance manual, flipped through a few pages, and said with some uncertainty: "We should check the water tank."
"Could it be that the engine blew up?"
"Is it possible that there is no fuel?"
"Huh? The front of the car seems to be on fire."
"Fuck! It's really on fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
"But we don't have water!"
"Water! Water! Water!"
Zheng Xiu looked at the burning train with an expressionless expression. With a wave of his hand, the freezing power poured out. In an instant, the burning flame was frozen into a swaying shape.
Well, regardless of whether there is water or not, the fire is out.
Everyone is happy.
"Repair where you are and take a rest!"
When Zheng Xiu saw that the broken car would not be repairable for a while, he didn't hesitate and gave the order to camp where he was.
The food rations for hundreds of people are not a handful. Even if the food reserves brought by Lady of the Night followers are packed as much as possible, they can only satisfy hundreds of people for about ten days. Of course, after Zheng Xiu became a god, he had long been separated from the most basic food needs, and eating was just a habit. It's just that he can be hungry, but his wife cannot be hungry. In addition to finding ways to repair the train, she also has to find ways to replenish food and fuel.
Zheng Xiu stopped, looked into the distance, and looked at the environment.
The train broke down on the tracks. Below the tracks was a spacious river, and the tracks ran along the banks of the river. There is abundant water in this place, so the railway tracks have long been covered with rust and have been in disrepair for a long time.
At this time, one of the believers suddenly shouted: "Praise the Lady of the Night!"
Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to find that the person who loudly praised the "Lady of the Night" was a young believer. He took off his protective mask and was kissing the dirty land with tears on his face.
etc?
Take off the mask?
"The air here is breathable!"
"The radiation concentration here is very low!"
"We can breathe!"
Gradually, more and more people carefully took off their masks and took small breaths at first. When they found that the air here was surprisingly fresh, they couldn't help but take big breaths. Some people were also in tears, and some were crying like ghosts.
Mia hugged her silly smiling sister tightly and was speechless for a long time.
Zheng Xiu glanced at the excited people. After their excitement calmed down a little, Zheng Xiu called Mia and asked for directions.
"Back to boss, we did veer off course."
Mia is still equipped like a professional special forces soldier, and the watch is equipped with old equipment such as a compass and a Geiger meter. She raised her watch to check the direction, her eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that after walking out of Area 32, she came to a place that was like a paradise and where she could breathe fresh air freely. It was a big shock to her. She rubbed her eyes and replied to Zheng Xiu: "According to the compass, our driving direction deviated 27 degrees to the west. Only if there is a fork in the road ahead, we can adjust the driving route."
Yue Linglong suddenly came to Zheng Xiu and pointed into the distance: "Husband, look over there."
She stretched out her green-white jade fingers and pointed somewhere among the mountains.
There was a huge building there, hundreds of meters long, with many strange patterns painted on the gray-white walls with mottled paint. From a distance, it looks like an artificially constructed high wall.
"I saw it. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a dam."
Zheng Xiu smiled slightly.
Yue Linglong was slightly startled when she heard this: "Is there such a magnificent dam?"
During the Daqian Dynasty, the south was always suffering from floods, and there was a precedent for building dams. Yue Linglong had lived in Daqian for many years, and was well-read, so she had heard a little about it. But she had never seen such a huge dam, which exceeded her impression of "dam".
"This is the wisdom of mankind. It should be a 'historic site' left by the predecessors of this world. It can be called a 'wonder' if it can stand for hundreds of years without falling." Zheng Xiu showed admiration. , looking far into the distance, silent.
On the edge of the dam, a faint plume of white smoke rose.
Clearly, there are traces of human habitation there.
At this time, the Jiji brothers, who risked their lives to check the train failure, got off the train in disgrace and reported the damage to Zheng Xiu.
"Report to the boss, this car has not been maintained for hundreds of years. It is God's blessing that it can successfully drive out of Area 32."
When Jim said this, Zheng Xiu looked down at himself silently.
Jimmy spread his hands and looked helpless: "Report to the boss, after all, our two brothers are not professional train repairers. It may take... more time. Besides, there is a lack of professional maintenance tools in the train."
Zheng Xiu nodded.
It is indeed a bit of luck that the train can leave Area 32. Of course, the luck mentioned here is not Zheng Xiu's luck. Whether or not this train exists will not prevent Zheng Xiu from surviving. The "luck" mentioned here refers to the luck of human beings.
"Boss, we..."
Mia lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Zheng Xiu's eyes, and hesitated to speak.
"lady."
Zheng Xiu raised his fingers delicately towards the moon.
Yue Linglong came to Zheng Xiu obediently.
"There is abundant water nearby. Believers should be careful and go to the river to replenish the water supply and take a bath. Be careful before going into the water. It is not ruled out that there are dangerous creatures in the water."
"I understand, husband."
As the spokesperson of the Lady of the Night, Yue Linglong has extremely high authority among believers, and she carried out Zheng Xiu's words in a few words.
The believers scattered.
Zheng Xiu walked along the railway track alone for a while. After about a few hundred meters, Zheng Xiu and the orange cat stopped.
A section of mountain wall along the river collapsed, pressing down on the railway track, and the way forward was interrupted. Even if the Maomao didn't break down, it wouldn't have gone far before it would have to stop due to the interruption of the rails.
"wrong."
Lady Anne looked at the collapsed mountain wall and looked up at Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu smiled: "There are traces of man-made destruction, but it should not be recent, but earlier. It seems that the 'owner' of this jungle does not welcome 'outsiders'."
"Stupid humans are always bound to fight among themselves."
"Wrong. People's hearts are unpredictable. This is also part of human beings' self-preservation in desperate situations."
Based on Zheng Xiu's understanding of human nature, he shook his head and denied the orange cat's statement.
A closer look revealed that not only the mountain wall had collapsed, but the railway track also showed signs of damage. It was full of potholes and some of the steel plates were concave and uneven.
Zheng Xiu leaned over, gently pressed his palm on the struck spot on the rail, and closed his eyes.
In the tightly closed eyes, the black waterfall light flashed away.
When Zheng Xiu opened his eyes again, a clearly visible "reason" faintly extended towards the direction of the dam.
After checking, Zheng Xiu knew what was going on and returned to the train calmly.
From a distance of tens of meters, Zheng Xiu saw the strangely dressed believers divided into two groups, quarreling with red faces.
Yue Linglong stood between the two believers, with a hint of helplessness on her indifferent face.
Yue Linglong noticed Zheng Xiu's approach immediately. Zheng Xiu smiled slightly and slowly shook his head towards Yue Linglong without leaving any trace. When the latter saw the smile on Zheng Xiu's face, he smiled sweetly as if he had taken reassurance.
Zheng Xiu slowly walked towards the train, and the sound of the argument clearly reached Zheng Xiu's ears.
The followers of the Lady of the Night are divided into two factions, and the one that mainly causes the quarrel is headed by a man named Japa. Before Yue Linglong was regarded as the "spokesperson" by the elders, he was the leader of this group of believers.
After Yue Linglong suddenly fell from the sky, Gapa was relegated to the second position and had been complaining. However, due to other believers' enthusiasm for the "Lady of the Night" belief and their deep belief in Yue Linglong's identity as the "spokesperson", Gapa He has been pretending to be a fanatical believer, silently following Yue Linglong, acting as Yue Linglong's second-in-command.
The environment of this valley, with its lush green trees and fresh air, is clearly a good place for human habitation. Gapa took the opportunity to unite with his former subordinates, claiming that this was the "paradise" they would eventually reach under the guidance of the "Ms. of the Night".
Both parties are believers of the Lady of the Night. Nearly thirty people were persuaded by Gapa, and since the train broke down, they were unwilling to take the risk of moving forward. They would rather find another home in this valley and create their own "paradise".
The orange cat jumped on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, tilted its head and meowed.
The implication: Do you want to kill them all?
Yue Linglong's gaze alerted Jiapa and others to Zheng Xiu's arrival.
He immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything.
A light flashed in Jiapa's eyes, he gritted his teeth without leaving a trace, and lowered his head forcefully.
Zheng Xiu sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing? Are you reluctant to give up?"
The orange cat scratched Zheng Xiu's hair in confusion.
"No, it's just that I suddenly found that after becoming a god, seeing this kind of situation makes me feel... very boring."
"Meow?" The orange cat was stunned when he heard this, then crossed his paws happily and nodded involuntarily: "Finally...finally, you finally look like a god."
"Is this something to be happy about?"
"if not?"
"Human fighting is so low-end, so low-end that even with a look or a move, I can easily see through their thoughts. The so-called right and wrong, good and evil, and the so-called ulterior motives of the human heart, in front of God's eyes, they It’s like he’s not wearing any clothes, his heart is clearly exposed.”
This was the reason why Zheng Xiu sighed. He saw through Gapa's mind at a glance, and saw through his apparent belief in the Lady of the Night, but in reality he was an unbeliever struggling in the apocalypse. Zheng Xiu never paid attention to him before, but when Japa jumped out, Zheng Xiu saw through this person with just one glance. This "clear" feeling made Zheng Xiu feel a little uninterested.
"If you want to leave, just leave."
Zheng Xiu walked calmly to the crowd and said to Chaoyue Linglong: "Give them the guns, ammunition, and food they deserve and let them go."
When Jiapa heard this, his eyes widened, as if he was hearing hallucinations: "You, you, you just let us go like this?"
"Otherwise?" Zheng Xiu asked calmly: "The legs are on you, so you can go wherever you like. By the way," Zheng Xiu smiled and pointed in the direction of the dam: "Along the river bank, about three kilometers, you When you reach the dam, you can meet the indigenous people here.”
On the side, Mia, Jim, Jimmy and others, who were secretly squeezing the trigger, slowly released their fingers on the trigger with doubts on their faces.
After a while, Gapa left the train with more than 30 people and went deep into the jungle.
After Jiapa and others left, Yue Linglong thought for a moment and asked, "Husband, did you let them go on purpose?"
Zheng Xiu smiled and scratched Yue Linglong's petite nose: "If you see through it, don't say it."
"But this is, why?"
"Well, let's say hello." Zheng Xiu looked towards the direction of the dam without leaving any trace, and said: "From that direction, you can see our train entering the valley at a glance. Such a violent movement would have already alarmed the people inside. , let Gapa and the others explore the way, or say hello in advance. Let’s go.”
After that, Zheng Xiu didn't explain much, pulled Yue Linglong and jumped from the river bank into the river.
He put his hand on the river surface, and the ice crystals that suddenly condensed formed four crystal clear ice walls around him, like a house made of ice crystals.
What's strange is that in the space enclosed by the ice wall, the water is not only not low, but also makes Yue Linglong, who is soaked all over, feel warm, like soaking in a hot spring.
"Husband, what are you..."
Yue Linglong blushed and covered her chest, looking timidly at the four ice walls, thinking what Zheng Xiu was going to do.
"Take a bath. Haven't we not taken a bath for a long time? Can you bear it?"
"Husband, how did you do it?"
Hearing this, Yue Linglong knew that she had thought wrong and her face turned redder, but she quickly approached Zheng Xiu and splashed water. By this she was referring to warm bath water.
Zheng Xiu scratched his head: "Condensation heat dissipation, a simple 'freezing' application method."
Yue Linglong: "???"
Two people and one cat happily took a human-cat mixed bath.
After Zheng Xiu steamed their clothes and dried the orange cat's hair, a burst of gunfire came from deep in the jungle.
