The next day.

When Chen Ji woke up, he felt that there was something in his arms.

Soft and fragrant.

Comfortable in the hand.

There is a faint sweet smell of girls blowing on her face, which is itchy.

Chen Ji opened his eyes and saw two plush black cat ears growing on a girl's head.

At the same time, there is also a feeling of being stuck to the whole body.

The person who was attached to him had nothing on him.

Chen Ji woke up in shock and reached out to touch her smooth back, "Xiao Ke?!" ”

It was finally confirmed that the cat-eared girl in his arms was the big cat that slipped in and slept with him last night.

It's just that she jumped on Chen Ji's bed in the form of a kitten last night, so Zhou Wan has no opinion.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next day, she became a cute and fair-skinned cat-eared girl again, and slept with him in the quilt all night.

Moreover, his limbs still hugged him tightly, and his slender arms wrapped around his waist, and he slept very sweetly.

"Xiao Ke, let go of your hand!"

Chen Ji hurriedly wanted to break away, and when Zhou Wan came in next day and saw it, or the man became angry in the morning, it would be terrible.

"Meow~~ Meow, don't move!"

The black cat girl meowed dissatisfiedly.

It's holding him like a stove.

Chen Ji sat up, took her slender arms away with great difficulty, tried not to look at the girl's fair appearance at the moment, and after breaking free, he turned around and pressed her hands on the bed.

Just as she was about to wrap her in a quilt, the door clicked open.

"Chen Ji, you're up...... Is it?? ”

Behind the door, Zhou Wan's delicate face was revealed, full of shocked expression.

"Hee-hee, meow~, play, fun~~"

Under Chen Ji, the cat-eared girl twisted her body, the cat who had just woken up was very lively, and the human laughter from her small mouth was mixed with her deliberately imitating the sound of meowing, which was very interesting.

But Chen Ji doesn't think so.

He looked at Zhou Wan, who poked her head out from behind the door, and after a while, he asked her: "I said that I am not a pervert, do you believe it?" ”

“…… Poof. ”

Zhou Wan's beautiful face seemed to be in full bloom, she opened the door and walked in, instead of Chen Ji, she pressed Xiao Ke, wrapped it in a quilt, and nodded her forehead as if she hated iron not steel:

"I shouldn't have let you in last night, and I won't be allowed to do that again!"

"Meow?"

"Don't meow, you're no longer a mutant creature, it's a human girl, you should learn to be human, learn from me, and say: I know, sister, I won't sleep with my master in the future."

"Know meow~, who is the master?"

"Him."

"Meow? His name is Chen Ji! Meow's favorite person! ”

While the two were chatting back and forth, Chen Ji hurriedly got up and dressed, the temperature in the underground city was quite high, just cover a quilt at night.

Zhou Wan hugged the cat-eared girl who twisted around in the quilt and refused to learn more human language, and just wanted to meow around, looking at Chen Ji with a smile in her eyes.

I won't tell him about the conversation with Xiao Zhouwan in my dream last night, and I'll talk about it when he wants to go back.

"Let's go, let's go have breakfast."

After washing, Chen Ji returned to the room.

Zhou Wan was still teaching Xiao Ke, the slender body of the black cat girl was still wrapped in the quilt and refused to get up and dress, and when she saw him come back, she kicked her legs and waved her little hands to rush out and pounce on him.

"What is she going to do?"

Chen Ji had a headache, and the transformed Xiao Ke was more troublesome than the previous big cat form.

"Leave her alone, let's go out, she should know to change back when she comes along."

Zhou Wan let go of her, walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Chen Ji, pulled him out, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ke with a smile.

Sure enough, after seeing that Chen Ji was about to leave the room, the big cat tilted his head and thought about it, and quickly turned back into the form of a kitten and ran out of the quilt, and jumped onto Chen Ji's shoulder and squatted in a few steps.

"Don't change into a human outside, do you hear?"

Chen Ji rubbed her cat's head and got a meow answer.

I think I heard it.

Xiaomay have been transforming for a long time, but she never changed into a human form outside, and it is estimated that she instinctively felt unsafe, and only when she returned to Zhou Wan's room or was on Chen Ji's bed, did she become a cat and a girl and drill into the quilt.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan found a restaurant in the underground city and sat down to eat.

Zhou Wan used merit points to buy ten catties of meat for Xiao Ke, with some vegetarian dishes for her to eat, this cat only loves meat, and does not love rice noodles and vegetarian dishes, or Zhou Wan pressed her head, she barely ate some.

The restaurants in the underground city are also very interesting, everyone can eat three meals a day for free, and if you want to eat better, or buy some snacks and desserts, you can only use merit points to redeem.

Eating ten catties of meat in one go, like Xiao Ke, will naturally attract many onlookers.

But Xiao Ke is also a celebrity, no, a famous cat, many people know her.

Chen Ji gradually got used to the feeling of being watched by celebrities when eating, and used his mobile phone to chat with Mu Xiaoxiao for a while.

"Destiny?"

In the Nine Domains, Mu Xiaoxiao laughed: "Could it be that Chen Ji also wants to hold the Mandate of Heaven and ascend to the throne?" ”

"Only?"

Chen Ji looked at his palm.

Just the empress, is your buttocks itching again?

"Hmph, just with your modest combat experience, isn't it mere anything?"

The more Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he smiled again: "In the Nine Domains, every person who ascends to the throne is a strong person who has been killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and there has never been a weak person like you!" ”

"I beat you."

"That's on Earth!! If you have the ability, you come to the Nine Domains, see that I don't chase you! ”

"I beat you."

"Ahhh You bastard! ”

Mu Xiaoxiao, who remembered the experience of the earth grove again, broke his defense, and shouted that he would go to the earth and beat him.

Fortunately, she is now in a small dark space, otherwise the scene of the empress breaking the defense will definitely make countless people in the Nine Domains drop their jaws.

"Humph!"

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to him, "You just go with Zhou Wan to take the mandate of heaven, I won't go, it's boring, if you can't beat those who hold the mandate of heaven, come and call me again." ”

She became more and more casual in front of Chen Ji, and she no longer had the empress's frame at all, and let Chen Ji summon her to help.

Chen Ji thanked her, but was hung up by Mu Xiaoxiao with a cold snort, as if he didn't want to hear this.

Chen Ji couldn't figure out the empress's mind for the time being.

He clicked on dozens of prayers and praise messages sent by Astana, and today's prayer was different from the previous one.

"Great God, may you have a successful journey, and may you mercifully exert your power to return the artifacts of the Nine Domains to their original world...... Your power across the world will bring hope to countless people in the world, and may those who have been rescued by you in other worlds also believe in and worship you. ”

Before going to bed last night, Chen Ji had a conversation with Astana, who had finished a day's prayers and lay back on the soft big bed to rest, looking down at her from a high place, and telling her about several worlds.

The focus is on Zhou Wan, because Astana asks a lot of questions about her, but asks less about Wang Yitong.

Chen Ji originally thought that the more she was told, the more sober Astana would become, and she guessed that he was a creator with limited power and only had the power to create in the Divine Grace Continent.

But I didn't expect that.

The goddess trembled with excitement all over, knelt on her bed, her buttocks pressed against her calves, and looked up with her hands clasped:

"God, you are everywhere, your power and figure have spanned countless worlds, your power is ever-changing, bringing the light of hope to the people of every world, you are the immortal immortal, you are the sun of doom, you are the chaos particle emperor of the Nine Domains, you are also the Lord that our Divine Grace Continent believes in, worships, and serves Astana forever.

You are too great for Astana to describe in the slightest, and the believers had no idea that you possess such great power...... It's your fault as the Goddess of Astral Order standing at your side! ”

Chen Ji: "......"

Astana's praise was quite reasonable, making him almost mistakenly think that he was really that good.

It's a pity that if he was really that strong, he would have solved the problems faced by the four worlds with one finger.

You can't lie to yourself, can you?

After eating breakfast, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan took Xiao Ke, who had shrunk into the form of a kitten, and took the maglev train to the ground platform to wait for the train.

Xiao Ke ate more than a dozen pounds of things, and after turning back into a kitten, she still didn't think she was heavy, and the pre-apocalyptic understanding of earth science could no longer explain what happened after the apocalypse.

"Mr. Chen Ji, Minister Zhou, do you need to transfer a train temporarily? Fifteen minutes to go until the next bus. ”

A staff member on the platform stepped forward to ask politely, looking at the two with a little respect in his eyes.

Zhou Wan's fame has spread again, and Chen Ji's Sun Realm yesterday also made people in the city talk a lot, and after the two appeared together, the people on the platform quickly noticed.

There are three ways for people in the underground city to go up to the ground, one is the maglev train in front of them, which can go directly to the ground, and there is a transfer halfway, and they can go to various places and areas at a depth of 800 meters and 600 meters in the doomsday base.

There are as many as eight such passages to the ground, which can be reached from all directions, presumably to prevent accidents from blocking some passages.

The second way to go to the ground is the kilometer elevator that Chen Ji took yesterday, which is the fastest, but it also consumes the most and can carry fewer people.

The third is walking, leaving sidewalks on both sides of the track, and there are also emergency escape routes, which can also go up to the ground while walking.

In addition to these three methods, there is also Zhou Wan's spatial teleportation that can reach the ground directly.

However, this kind of treatment can also be enjoyed by Chen Ji.

"No, you don't."

Chen Ji smiled at the staff, "Let's just wait, you can get busy." ”

The platform staff said: "Mr. Chen Ji, you and Minister Zhou must be careful when you go up to the ground, the ground is completely different from the Doomsday Base...... Recently we heard that a strange one was wandering near the sea market, and we don't know the specifics, so you'd better find out first, just in case. ”

"Weird?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment and nodded at him: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention." ”

The platform staff then left.

Soon after, the train arrived, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan boarded the train, also without buying a ticket, and after the car stayed for ten minutes, they set off for the ground.

Along the way, the maglev train passes through at least five levels, each of which is guarded by warriors, and there are special personnel to test it, and anyone who returns to the underground city needs to go through strict identity authentication to prevent mutated creatures from being mixed in.

Chen Ji is very interested in the existence of this kind of mutant creatures that can transform into shapes, they already have intelligence, and they can change into human form like Xiao Ke, they are known as king-level mutant creatures, what is their living environment like in the wild? Have there been any civilization-like towns?

"Judging from the information I know," Zhou Wan answered his question, stretched out his hand to smooth Xiao Ke's hair, and said, "King-level mutant creatures are all indifferent, murderous, and difficult to communicate, which should be related to the fact that they kill too much and do not have a good growth environment. ”

Chen Ji thought about it before.

Three years ago in this world, he once used the solar light ball to purify a batch of mutated creatures, and at that time he came to a conclusion:

Any mutant creature that has never killed a human can be purified by his solar light ball and become human-friendly.

"In this way, unless their murderous personality is addressed, it is difficult to say that the king-level mutant creatures can be called a race." Chen Ji said.

"Yes, people now regard king-level mutant creatures more as a powerful threat monster, and they are always on guard against blending into humans."

"Weird?"

Chen Ji asked, "Is there a strange one near the sea market?" ”

Compared to king-level mutant creatures, the strange existence is more difficult to understand.

Zhou Wan shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, and Huang Xiao hasn't mentioned it in the group, so the situation shouldn't be very serious." ”

Thanks to the increasingly perfect Doomsday Base, people can finally use mobile phones to access the Internet, but mobile phones are very expensive, and the network is not globally interoperable, and can only be connected locally, after all, the submarine fiber optic cable has long been broken.

However, even if Xia has the ability to rebuild the fiber optic cable, people in other countries are unable to follow up, and it is difficult for them to maintain social order, let alone solve the mobile phones, electricity, and communication equipment needed to access the Internet.

After chatting with Zhou Wan, Chen Ji became more curious about the situation on the ground, and even more speculated about the current situation of other countries.

It seems that other countries are more in line with the scene of doomsday cyberpunk, and the eight doomsday bases of Xia Country have initially restored a certain degree of civilized order.

The train is inclined upwards and exits in the middle of the sea, near the seaside.

Chen Ji didn't sit at the finish line, and Zhou Wan took him to flash away with his spatial ability.

……

Area A, Conference Room.

"It's nine o'clock to leave, it's really outrageous to open the door to his mother, outrageous to ......"

The two of them appeared suddenly, and Shi Yue swallowed his words back.

"Captain!"

"Captain, Brother Chen!"

"Captain early, Brother Chen early!"

"Mr. Chen Ji, good morning."

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan arrived, and the members of Zhou Wan's original team stood up one after another, and people who were familiar with Chen Ji also stood up to greet him.

"This is the Light and Heat Adept... Chen Ji? ”

The first time he saw Chen Ji, he looked at him with amazement.

These people are all from other doomsday bases, Shi Yue, Luo Yang, Gu Jianfei, etc., they have seen Chen Ji's Sun Realm yesterday, and have found some sense of being a human being from the warm light, which is why they are willing to wait patiently for a day - after their taste recovered, they ate and drank a refreshing meal last night.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

Chen Ji greeted them and said humorously: "I used to go to work at 9:10, but I didn't expect to start so early three years later." ”

These words reveal a lot of information, reminiscent of the three years when he and Zhou Wan disappeared.

Shi Yue, who was as short as a stone pier, walked over and said with a smile: "Your name is Chen Ji?" I heard that you went to a certain place with Zhou Wan for three years before coming back, what is it? By the way, your ability is very useful, take care of it for me in the future, I owe you a favor! ”

From his words, Chen Ji probably knew his character.

"I'll take a picture of you now?"

"No problem! Come! ”

Shi Yue's silvery-white huge fists collided, making a metallic impacting sound, and his face and various parts of his body were quickly covered with a layer of metal, revealing a silver-white infiltrating smile towards Chen Ji.

The next moment, the light shrouded and disappeared, quickly dispersing the metal on his body, making his whole person bathed in brilliance, his smile stiffened, and he stood in place as if he was stupid, his fists no longer touched, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

"You want to come to me again in the sun."

Chen Ji took back the Sun Realm, and he didn't believe that there were still people who doubted his ability.

This group of people are all powerful aliens, if they don't prove their strength, they can't command them, and they can't rely on the ability of the nurse last night, and they have to be in terms of combat effectiveness to convince them.

At least Shi Yue was convinced, his face was very embarrassed, and he said: "The domain level is really awesome, beyond the SSS level, you will command this operation, I Shi Yue has no opinion!" ”

Everyone nodded, or was silent, no longer questioning Chen Ji and Zhou Wan's command.

Chen Ji said: "I don't know much about the world in three years, you can discuss and give a specific plan of action, and Zhou Wan and I will make a decision." ”

"What plan of action do you want?"

Shi Yue shouted, "With your two realm-level powerhouses, plus us, you can directly sweep through the country of Amei Ken and capture the lion king alive!" ”

"That's a good point, don't say it next time."

"I'm ...... Cao"

Shi Yue's words were forced to swallow back by Chen Ji's eyes, raised his hands to indicate that he would not say anything directly, and then sat down on the chair.

He dared to say another word just now, Chen Ji told him to get out, there was no need for such a fool to exist in the team.

Shi Yue's performance proves that he is still a little far from being a fool, he can barely take it, and let him rush forward when he encounters the enemy.

"Captain!"

Huang Yuwen raised his hand: "We can give a specific plan, but Brother Chen and the captain, what do you think we should do with this operation?" Directly, or quietly? Do you grab the other ability crystals first, or go straight to Roger, the Lion King? ”

The statement of the Mandate of Heaven Fragment was known only to Chen Ji and Zhou Wan.

"The lion king's name is Ray Geev."

Zhou Wan looked around the crowd indifferently and said: "In this operation, my plan is: make a high-profile declaration, sneak in a low-key manner, and after finding the target, Thunder will make a move and get my things back!" ”

The high-profile declaration refers to the fact that after Zhou Wan returned, she issued a warning to those around the world who held the fragments of the Mandate of Heaven through various channels, asking them to return it as soon as possible, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

Things flowed out of the hands of the first Adept of the Xia Kingdom, which was something known to the whole world.

And Zhou Wan returned after three years of disappearance, and was rated as a domain-level ability by Xia Guo, so she naturally wanted to take back her things.

The high-profile proclamation was made in line with the trend.

"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys? I love it, hahaha! ”

Shi Yue laughed.

Luo Yang, who has the dual ability of shadow and dream, also nodded in agreement: "More than ten ability crystals flowed out of Captain Zhou Wan's hands, it is difficult for us to find them one by one, killing Lei Jeff can show our Xia Kingdom's attitude towards ability crystals, and let them take the initiative to return them." ”

Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji, and her indifferent eyes softened a little.

"I think it's fine."

Chen Ji joked: "After all, I have to keep a low profile with you, otherwise that Lei Jeff is afraid that he will run away in fright." ”

In the conference room, everyone laughed together.

With the tone set, the next step is to make a concrete plan.

More than an hour later, at the exit of the fortress of the Doomsday Base, four cars drove out in a low-key manner and headed towards the sea.

After leaving the fort and several nearby towns, the car gradually accelerated and quickly drove away from the sea market.

In order to conceal themselves, the team did not even use the portal formed between the spatial ability crystals, but relied on Huang Yuwen's driving proficient "convoy" ability, with him as the leader, to drive four cars to speed on the sea.

"Is this the wild?"

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan sat in the car driven by Huang Yuwen, and the modified off-road vehicle could seat seven people, and there were Kong Xiaomin and Zhu Gao in front of them.

After going up to the ground, Chen Ji saw what the wilderness would look like three years after the end of the world.

The sun seemed to be obscured by a thick fog, and the world was dark, and there were shadows everywhere, as if something lurked.

There are a lot of plants and trees growing on the ground, but none of them are normal, all of them reveal seven points of weirdness and three points of terror, and the distorted and pitch-black appearance makes people not want to get too close.

Strange birds could be faintly heard, and the air was filled with the smell of corruption.

There are plants and trees, but they still give people a sense of dead desolation.

When passing through the town, Chen Ji saw from a distance that many of the people living outside the Doomsday Base were like polluters from the Divine Grace Continent, and their bodies were deformed.

However, judging from the fact that some normal people are very close to them, these people with serious alienation are obviously not contagious, otherwise others would not dare to approach.

This is barely good news.

"How does it feel?"

Zhou Wan asked him if she hadn't been on the ground many times herself, and it was the first time she had stayed away from the settlement.

"It's okay, at least some of them are getting angry."

Chen Ji saw some people who were active in the wild, they were all holding weapons, presumably to hunt mutated creatures.

Mutated creatures, whether it is meat, fur, or bones, can be exchanged for a lot of merit points.

In addition, if you are lucky and find a part called "alien" from a mutated creature, you can exchange a large number of merit points in one go, which is enough to make a person live comfortably for half a year.

Aliens are also essential ingredients for building alienation equipment, and those who have been active in the field all year round have one or two in their hands.

"I think it's getting ...... here."

Zhou Wan was about to speak, but saw Chen Ji suddenly look in a direction on the coast.

Half a day.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't have the ability to use it, Zhou Wan asked him.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seem to be people on the beach, maybe someone who came to hunt in the sea."

That's right, come to the sea to hunt, not fish.

Soon after the end of the world, the world's oceans, lakes and rivers have frozen over, and even now, when the temperature has risen, the oceans have not thawed because of the lack of sufficient sunlight.

Some seaweed-like plants also grow on the frozen sea, and according to Huang Xiao, a telekinetic powerhouse, after digging through the ice, you can also find some mutated creatures living in the ice.

"Maybe it's not a delusion."

Zhou Wan trusted Chen Ji's intuition.

It's just that it's too late to go back now, and I'm afraid that thing has already run away.

The four cars were speeding on the sea, heading towards the country of Amei Ken on the other side of the world.

Speed, five thousand kilometers per hour.

Go home today, write a little slower, and resume normal updates tomorrow
