"Whew-"

Boom Boom Boom Boom –

Between the mountains, the trees are verdant, and a train runs on the vine-covered tracks, fast and slow, forward and backward, and thick black smoke rises from the front of the locomotive.

There was a constant coughing sound in all the carriages.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the front of the car shook violently, accompanied by a violent vibration, and Jim, who was in charge of driving the train, pulled down the emergency brake.

The wheels cried, and the high-speed rolling wheels slid on the rails for hundreds of meters, finally stopping in a frightening cloud of smoke.

The train had not yet stopped, and hundreds of passengers on the train rushed out of the train as if fleeing for their lives.

The train was naturally a cat that escaped from Area 32.

It's been the third day and night since the rat colony attack in Area 32.

After driving out of Area 32, the Cat did not stop and headed north.

Thick black smoke came out of the cab, and the Gigi brothers stumbled out of the cab, and the two brothers who survived the catastrophe looked at each other, and they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly while wearing masks, but after looking at each other for a while, they burst into a burst of laughter at the same time.

Zheng Xiu held the cat in his arms, and in the past few days, Yue Linglong used the remaining fabric to sew a well-fitting robe for her husband, embroidered with a faint leaf vein pattern, which had an antique and fragrant taste.

The last piece of clothing was torn off by Zheng Xiu himself.

"What's going on?"

After Zheng Xiu calmed everyone, he walked up to Brother Jiji and asked.

Jim scratched his head, and to be honest, they didn't know why the car broke down suddenly. Anyway, all the way out, the alarm on the dashboard has not stopped, when it is red than when it is green, it is blessed by the gods to be able to open until now.

"Probably ......" Jimmy pulled out his only treasure repair manual, flipped through a few pages, and said with some uncertainty, "We should check the tank." ”

"Could it be that the engine blew up?"

"Could it be that there is no fuel?"

"Huh? The front of the car seemed to be on fire. ”

"! It's really on fire! ”

"Extinguish the fire!"

"But we don't have water!"

"Water! Water! Water! ”

Zheng Xiu looked at the train that began to burn expressionlessly, and with a wave of his hand, the power of freezing poured out, and in an instant, the burning flames were frozen into a swaying shape.

Well, with or without water, the fire is out.

Everyone was happy.

"Fix it in place and rest for each other!"

Zheng Xiu saw that the broken car would not be repaired for a while, so he didn't bother and gave the order to camp in place.

The rations for hundreds of people are not a few, and the reserve food brought by the believers of the Night Lady, even if they are eaten as much as possible, can only meet the food and clothing of hundreds of people for about ten days. Of course, after Zheng Xiu became a god, he had already departed from the most basic food needs, and eating was just a habit. It's just that he can be hungry, but his wife can't be hungry, and in addition to finding a way to repair the train, he also has to find a way to replenish food and fuel.

Zheng Xiu stopped, looked into the distance, and looked at the environment.

The train breaks down on the tracks, and below the tracks is a wide river, along which the rails run along the riverbank. This place is rich in water, so that the railroad tracks have long been covered with rust and disrepair, and it can be opened as Wanji.

At this moment, one of the believers suddenly shouted, "Praise be to the Night Lady!" ”

When the crowd heard the praise, they realized that it was a young believer who had taken off his protective mask and was kissing the dirty ground with tears streaming down his face.

Wait a minute?

Take off your 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, at first in small gulps, and when they found that the air here was surprisingly fresh, they couldn't help but take big breaths. Some people also burst into tears, and some ghosts cried wolf.

Mia hugged her sister, who was smiling silly, tightly and couldn't speak for a long time.

Zheng Xiu glanced at the emotional crowd, and after their excited emotions calmed down a little, Zheng Xiu called Mia and asked for directions.

"Back to the boss, we did deviate from the direction."

Mia is still equipped like a professional special forces, and her watch is equipped with old equipment such as a compass and a gaiger. She lifted her watch to check the direction, her eyes were red, and it was obvious that after stepping out of Area 32, she came to a place like a paradise where she could breathe fresh air freely, which was also a big shock to her. She rubbed her eyes and replied to Zheng Xiu: "According to the compass, our driving direction deviates by 27 degrees to the west, and if there is a fork in the road ahead, we can adjust the driving route." ”

Yue Linglong suddenly came to Zheng Xiu's side and pointed to the distance: "Husband, look over there." ”

She stretched out her fingers as white as jade, pointing somewhere between the mountains.

There is a huge building there, hundreds of meters long, with gray-white walls and mottled paint painted with many strange patterns. From a distance, it looks like a high man-made wall.

"See, if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a dam."

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly.

Yue Linglong was slightly stunned when she heard this: "There is such a magnificent dam?" ”

In the Daqian Dynasty, there was always a flood in the south, and there was a precedent for building dams. But she had never seen such a huge dam, which was beyond her impression of a "dam".

"This is the wisdom of human beings, it should be a 'monument' left by the predecessors of this world, which can stand for hundreds of years without falling, and it can also be called a 'wonder'." Zheng Xiu's face showed appreciation, his eyes looked into the distance, and he was silent.

At the edge of the dam, a faint puff of white smoke rises.

Apparently, there are traces of human habitation there.

At this time, the Jiji brothers, who risked their lives to check the train malfunction, stepped down from the train in disgrace and reported the damage to the train to Zheng Xiu.

"Report to the boss, this car has not been maintained for hundreds of years, and it is already a blessing of the gods to be able to drive out of Area 32 smoothly."

When Jim said this, Zheng Xiu silently looked down at himself.

Jimmy spread his hands and looked helpless: "Report to the boss, our two brothers are not professional in repairing trains after all, and they may need ...... More time. Moreover, there is also a lack of professional maintenance tools in the train. ”

Zheng Xiu nodded.

The train can go out of Area 32, which does have a bit of luck. Of course, the luck mentioned here is not Zheng Xiu's luck, whether there is this train or not, it does not prevent Zheng Xiu from surviving, and the "luck" mentioned here refers to the luck of human beings.

"Boss, we ......"

Mia lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Zheng Xiu's gaze, and stopped talking.

"Ma'am."

Zheng Xiu hooked his fingers exquisitely towards the moon.

Yue Linglong obediently came to Zheng Xiu's side.

"There is an abundance of water nearby, so believers should be careful, go to the river to replenish the water, and take a bath or something. Be careful before entering the water, as dangerous creatures may not be ruled out. ”

"Got it, husband."

As the spokesperson of the Night Lady, Yue Linglong has extremely high authority among the believers, and she commanded Zheng Xiu's words in a few words.

The believers scattered.

Zheng Xiu walked along the railroad tracks alone, and after about a few hundred meters, Zheng Xiu and the orange cat stopped.

A section of the mountain wall along the river collapsed, crushing the railroad tracks, interrupting the way forward. Even if the Cat hadn't broken down, it wouldn't have had to stop because of the interruption of the tracks.

"That's not right."

Lord Anne looked at the collapsed mountain wall and glanced up at Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu smiled: "There are traces of man-made sabotage, but it shouldn't be in the near future, but even earlier." It seems that the 'owner' of this jungle is not very welcoming to 'outsiders'. ”

"Stupid human beings are always immune to infighting."

"Wrong, the human heart is unpredictable, and this is also part of human self-preservation in desperate situations."

With Zheng Xiu's understanding of human nature, he shook his head and denied the orange cat's statement.

If you look closely, not only the mountain wall has collapsed, but the railroad tracks have also been damaged, with potholes on top and some steel plates are uneven.

Zheng Xiu leaned over, gently pressed the palm of his hand on the place where the railroad track had been beaten, and closed his eyes.

In the closed eyes, the black waterfall flashed away.

When Zheng Xiu opened his eyes again, a clearly visible "reason" faintly extended in the direction of the dam.

After the inspection, Zheng Xiu knew what to expect and calmly returned to the train.

Dozens of meters away, Zheng Xiu saw that the strangely dressed believers were divided into two factions, arguing with red faces.

Yue Linglong stood between the two believers, and a little helplessness appeared on her indifferent face.

Yue Linglong noticed Zheng Xiu's approach for the first time, Zheng Xiu smiled slightly, and slowly shook his head at Yue Linglong without a trace. The latter saw the smile on Zheng Xiu's face, and instantly showed a sweet smile as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

Zheng Xiu slowly walked towards the train, and the sound of the quarrel clearly came into Zheng Xiu's ears.

The followers of the Night Lady were divided into two factions, and the one that mainly caused the quarrel was the leader of the group of believers named Gappa, who was the leader of this group of believers before Yue Linglong was worshipped as a "spokesperson" by the elders.

After Yue Linglong suddenly fell from the sky, Gappa succumbed to the position of the second child and has always complained, but due to the fanaticism of other believers in the belief in the "Night Lady" and their belief in Yue Linglong's identity as the "spokesperson", Gappa has been pretending to be a fanatical believer, silently following Yue Linglong's side, acting as Yue Linglong's second-in-command.

And the environment of this valley, with its green trees and fresh air, is a good place for human habitation. Gappa took the opportunity to unite the old tribes, preaching that this was the "paradise" that they would eventually arrive at under the guidance of the "Night Lady".

Both sides were followers of the Night Lady, and nearly thirty of them were moved by Gappa's words, and the train broke down, so they did not want to venture forward, preferring to make another home in this valley and create their own "paradise".

The orange cat jumped on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, tilted his head, and meowed.

The implication: Do you want to kill them all?

Yue Linglong's gaze made Gapa and the others notice Zheng Xiu's arrival.

Immediately silenced, not daring to say more.

Gappa's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth without a trace and lowered his head vigorously.

Zheng Xiu sighed lightly.

"What do you sigh for? Reluctant? ”

The orange cat scratched Zheng Xiu's hair in confusion.

"No, it's just that I suddenly found that after becoming a god, I saw this kind of ...... It's a very boring feeling. ”

"Meow?" The orange cat was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then hugged her paws with relief, and nodded involuntarily: "Finally...... Finally, you're finally a little bit of a god. ”

"Is this something to be happy about?"

"Or else?"

"The battle of human beings is too low-end, so low-end that even if they look at it or make a move, I can easily see through their thoughts. The so-called right and wrong, good and evil, the so-called unpredictable human heart, in front of the eyes of God, their hearts are as if they have no clothes, and they are exposed. ”

This is the reason why Zheng Xiu sighed. He saw through Gappa's mind at a glance, and saw through the essence of his apparent belief in the Night Lady but in fact as an unbeliever struggling in the last days. Zheng Xiu never cared about it before, but when Gappa just jumped out, Zheng Xiu just glanced at this person and saw through this person. This feeling of "being clear" made Zheng Xiu feel a little excited.

"If you want to go, let's go."

Zheng Xiu calmly walked into the crowd and said to Yue Linglong: "Give them the guns, ammunition, and food they deserve, and let them go." ”

Hearing this, Gappa's eyes widened, as if he had auditory hallucinations: "You, you, you, you just let us go?" ”

"Or else?" Zheng Xiu calmly asked: "The legs are long on you, you can go wherever you like." That's right," Zheng Xiu smiled and pointed in the direction of the dam: "Along the river bank, about three kilometers, when you reach the dam, you can meet the aborigines here." ”

On the side, Mia, Jim, Jimmy and others, who secretly pulled the trigger, slowly released their fingers pressed on the trigger with doubts on their faces.

After a while, Gappa left the train with more than thirty people and went deep into the jungle.

It wasn't until after Gapa and the others left that Yue Linglong thought for a moment and asked, "Husband, did you deliberately let them go?" ”

Zheng Xiu smiled and scratched Yue Linglong's petite nose: "See through it, don't say it." ”

"But why?"

"Sort of, say hi." Zheng Xiu looked in the direction of the dam without a trace, and said: "From that direction, you can see our train entering the valley at a glance, such a violent movement, it has already alarmed the people inside, let Gapa and them go to explore the way, and say hello in advance." Walk. ”

After that, Zheng Xiu didn't explain much, and pulled Yue Linglong to jump from the river bank into the river.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the surface of the river, and the ice crystals that suddenly condensed formed four crystal clear ice walls around him, like a house made of ice crystals.

The strange thing is that the space enclosed by the ice wall, not only is the water not low, but it makes the soaked Yue Linglong feel warm, just like soaking in a hot spring.

"Husband, you are ......"

Yue Linglong clutched her chest with a red face, looking timidly at the four ice walls, thinking that Zheng Xiu was going to do something.

"Take a bath, haven't we taken a bath in a long time? Can you bear it? ”

"Husband, how did you do that?"

When Yue Linglong heard this, she knew that she wanted to be crooked, and her face turned even redder, but she quickly took the initiative to approach Zheng Xiu and splashed water. She was referring to warm bath water.

Zheng Xiu scratched his head: "Solidification and heat dissipation, a simple 'freezing' application method." ”

Yue Linglong: "??? ”

Two people and a cat, happily took a mixed bath of one person and a cat.

After Zheng Xiu steamed the clothes of the two and dried the orange cat's hair, a dense burst of gunfire came from the depths of the jungle.
