"Weird!"

When the two sisters Mia and Shirley hugged each other and cried.

Above the ice clouds, Qing Shisan sat cross-legged on the edge, looking at the corpses that were cut into pieces below, and the red-dyed river, hooking the cigarette stick with his left hand, and constantly brushing his beard with his right hand, shaking his head from time to time, nodding from time to time, and his expression became serious for the first time in a long time.

"It's weird."

"It's really weird."

Qing 13 muttered to himself.

"Do you mean the ability of that hair to turn into a drill, or Shirley's ability?"

"Uh......" Qing 13 was stunned when he heard this: "Qing is talking about the hair." That little girl's name is Shirley? It's weird, too. Doesn't look right, sir, shouldn't it ......?"

Qing 13 knew very well that they were now in the territory of other gods, and there were some things they could say and some things they couldn't. So he was halfway through his speech, and his eyes blinked.

Zheng Xiu did not answer Qing Pi's question.

In fact, when Qing Thirteen asked this question secretly, Zheng Xiu and Qing Thirteen had the answer in their hearts at the same time.

The macho man and the bearded man fell from the sky and landed on the bank of the river.

None of the marauders were alive, their bodies were fragmented, and their deaths were miserable.

There were slight casualties on the side of the Orange Cat Club, most of the injured were unharmed, and more than a dozen people were unlucky and died of being shot under the random gun.

When Zheng Xiu appeared in front of Mia and Shirley, Shirley's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Zheng Xiu with a curious gaze, and suddenly let out a laugh of innocence after a while.

Mia looked up at Zheng Xiu in a daze, she subconsciously hugged Shirley tightly, and after a while, Mia stood up and wiped the tears and blood from her face indiscriminately, her voice was a little hoarse because of excessive crying, "Boss." Mia tried to make herself look calmer, more like a leader, but her gaze towards Zheng Xiu was full of powerlessness and help: "Shirley, she ......"

Zheng Xiu smiled and shook his head, stretching out his broad palm to Shirley.

Shirley silently put the bloodstained little hand into Zheng Xiu's hand.

Zheng Xiu clenched Shirley's young slap and led Shirley to turn away.

Qing Shisan comprehended, knocked on the cigarette stick, and the smoke gradually transformed into a looming door in front of Zheng Xiu.

The door opened, and Zheng Xiu led Shirley in.

Before leaving, Zheng Xiu's voice came.

"Qing Thirteen, my most trusted subordinate, Mia, you are in charge of the aftermath here, leaving half of the people in charge of guarding the train. Jim and Jimmy continue to be in charge of the train's maintenance. ”

"Qingpi, you pack up the corpse of the drill bit and clean it up and take it back to the town."

Zheng Xiu skillfully divided these trivial tasks, and of course Qing 13 was used to it, and responded with a smile: "I know!" Master! "The next thing is a set of self-introductions and job handovers.

Perhaps because of being in the territory of other gods, the [Ferryman] Bund of Qing 13 has become much narrower. Zheng Xiu led the timid little Lori across the Bund, and when they walked out of the door, they had already arrived in a small town deep in the jungle.

Shirley seemed quiet the whole time. Upon entering the town, Shirley curiously surveyed her surroundings. For her, who grew up in the ruins of the city in District 32 and lived a dark life in the underground passages, this quiet town in the forest is equivalent to another world, a new and unknown place.

Hearing the movement, Yue Linglong walked out slowly, and when she saw Zheng Xiu holding the mentally injured "Shirley" on the train, she was slightly stunned, her brows were slightly twisted, and she threw a "question" look at Zheng Xiu.

"A little thing happened." Zheng Xiu used a peaceful tone to bring the fight on the river bank and Shirley's mutation, and Yue Linglong was surprised when she heard this, and did not ask again. Zheng Xiu squatted beside Shirley, pointed to Yue Linglong, who was standing under the eaves and was as beautiful as a person in the painting, and smiled: "Do you remember that aunt?" On the train, it's Aunt Yue who takes care of you. ”

Shirley shook her head first, her bloodshot eyes looked at Yue Linglong, and then nodded.

She recognized it.

"Oh, go take a bath with Aunt Yue and wash the dirt off your body."

Shirley looked down at her dyed red dress, and walked towards Yue Linglong with a sudden expression.

Yue Linglong brought Shirley into the house, glanced back at Zheng Xiu, and said, "What Aunt Yue, it's ugly." ”

Zheng Xiu has been observing Shirley, and the "change" in Shirley makes him curious. Perhaps, he is witnessing the birth of a "humanoid". Or rather, he is witnessing the evolution of human beings in this apocalyptic world.

Shirley's memories are messy. At the age of seven, she went through a long "dark childhood", and then she fell into a period of "insanity" after being forced to eat "distorted meat" by fire rats, and when the riverbank train was attacked and Mia was in crisis, Shirley suddenly woke up and became a "humanoid".

"Which one is the key factor in Shirley's evolution? Distorted meat? It's a well-known fact that it's inedible, and most of the people who eat it are dead. Or is it something else? Is Mia's danger just a trigger? ”

"啵~", "啵~", "啵~"

While Zheng Xiu was standing outside the house and thinking, the orange cat yawned and walked with graceful steps, and the meat ball stepped on the moss-covered pavement, squatting at Zheng Xiu's feet.

"It's a bit risky for you to do that."

A man and a cat began to whisper again in a "high-speed prophecy".

"Fortunately, the opportunity is rare. If a world does not invest in the 'source' and produces 'variables', it will not give birth to the 'extraordinary' casually. It's an evolution, and even technological innovation requires that. From the history mastered by believers, we know that 'aberration' and 'humanoid' only began to appear after Fengbei left. The world has become like this, either because the source is almost gone, or there is another reason. He clearly didn't look like he was trying to manage the ship well, but more like a ...... Broken jars are broken. ”

"I agree, but you're still taking risks. He may hide His authority anywhere, and any inconspicuous person may be Him. Since you can invade His world with an 'incarnation', He may certainly have similar means. It's not something that's hard to pull off. ”

"Risk and benefit have always gone hand in hand. If the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, I will definitely not use this method, and I will definitely choose a more secure method, hide in the dark, touch little by little, dissect, and then ...... Defeat the enemy with one move. But, now, for some reason, that guy is hiding. It is more likely that because of the advent of Fengbei hundreds of years ago, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he did not hesitate to give birth to transcendent beings in this dilapidated and barren world on a large scale, plotting something. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Xiu remembered the figure with ponytail and hair tied in black clothes, and a smile appeared on his face: "With my understanding of Fengbei, if she comes, she will definitely cripple him, so she hid." This should be the most likely reason why we can't find Him. ”

"Besides, the worst outcome is for Him to perceive our invasion and go to war in an all-out way. It's just that I have a very vague feeling......" Zheng Xiu remembered the long night in District 32, the moment when he faced the rat swarm, Zheng Xiu hazy and vaguely sensed an indescribable emotion from the "terrible whole" formed by the convergence of a weak individual.

Yes, "emotions". This natural word falls on anyone, not even animals, and it does not feel out of place. It can be used on the rat group, but it makes Zheng Xiu feel extremely weird.

The rat swarm is made up of countless thousands of rats, and perhaps that moment is also the moment when Zheng Xiu is closest to "him". At the moment when Zheng Xiu made a move, he did feel something, but because of the short time, Zheng Xiu didn't have time to taste it carefully, and he solved the rat swarm. This incident made Zheng Xiu ponder for a while.

Zheng Xiu was like an iron tower, pestle in the middle of the town. The men and women in the town were all brought out by Qing 13 himself, and they were instructed by Qing 13 to treat Zheng Xiu and his party as their own.

Saying that, the aura on Zheng Xiu's body overflowed invisibly, making people dare not approach, and they gathered around and carefully observed.

A wisp of tasteless smoke appeared out of thin air, lingering in the empty town clearing, condensing into a gray-white door after a few glances.

Keisan pushed open the door and crossed the jungle to return to the town from the riverbank.

Behind him was Mia, and behind Mia, the believers' eyes widened, and they all looked incredulous, stepping out the door, stomping the ground with their boots, and some pinched their faces to see if they were still dreaming.

"Celebrate!"

Xia Sha, who had been walking nearby and was vigilant against Zheng Xiu, shouted when she saw Qing Shisan's iconic beard appear, and rushed over, pulling Qing Shisan's cuffs tightly with both hands, as if she was worried that Zheng Xiu would trap Qing Shisan.

"Huh?"

Zheng Xiu, who was thinking about various issues, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and looked at Qing Thirteen with strange eyes.

Qing Shisan smiled, for fear that Zheng Xiu would misunderstand, and in a panic, he pushed away Xia Sha's hand holding his sleeve.

"Oh-"

Zheng Xiu let out a meaningful sigh.

"Shhhh Hush! Hush! ”

Qing 13 whistled a few times, and the familiar whistle carried a familiar taste. He said to Zheng Xiu with a whistle: Don't get me wrong, we are a simple relationship between men and women!

Xia Sha looked excited, and stopped talking.

"Ahh

Suddenly, the sound of water splashing in the house from time to time was mixed with the exclamation of Yue Linglong.

Snort –

The sound of sharp grinding echoed through the town.

Zheng Xiu stepped into the temporary hut with an arrow step, only to see Yue Linglong walking out of the bathroom with wet hair. The moment she saw Zheng Xiu breaking in, Yue Linglong showed an apologetic look on her face: "I'...... Husband, I'm sorry, it's nothing, Yue'er couldn't hold back for a while, and accidentally made a sound. ”

Zheng Xiu frowned, and soon knew what was going on inside.

I saw a sleek Shirley in the small bathroom, her arms turned into hideous knives again, and she was wielding two knives at a loss, leaving a terrifying crack in the bathroom wall.

"Uncle...... Shirley, is it a monster? ”

The moment Shirley saw Zheng Xiu, she calmed down, the flesh and blood of the two knives squirmed, and in front of Zheng Xiu, they gradually changed back to normal hands. She looked at her hands blankly, as if she didn't understand why this change had occurred.

The "contingency" did not cause much commotion. After Qing 13 saw Zheng Xiu enter the house, he ignored what was going on inside and left with Xia Sha. In his opinion, where Zheng Xiu is, there will be no chaos, unless he meets an existence of the same level as Zheng Xiu - God. If it really is...... Coincidentally, isn't it more to celebrate!

In the bathroom, Shirley looked blankly at her double-edged hand that had turned into a double-edged not long ago.

"Look, so is my uncle."

Zheng Xiu picked up the little Lori from the shabby and yellowed bathtub, and gently touched his fingers in the bathtub. With Zheng Xiu's fingertips as the center, the "freezing" spread, and in the blink of an eye, the bath water that was still a little steaming in the bathtub was frozen into ice by Zheng Xiu.

Shirley's eyes lit up.

Yue Linglong helped Shirley dry herself, and after putting on clean clothes, she spent a few minutes by the way and tied two pigtails with Shirley's characteristics.

Half an hour later, Zheng Xiu, Yue Linglong, and Shirley sat in the restaurant. The only table in the room that was still in good condition.

Zheng Xiu asked about Shirley's abilities.

Hearing this, Shirley lowered her head.

"It doesn't matter, humanoids are not monsters, they are also a type of human. By the way, it's like cats, there are black, white, orange, cold, splattery, stupid, and many loopholes. So, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”

Outside, the orange cat sneezed heavily.

When Shirley heard this, she looked directly at Zheng Xiu with two sparkling eyes.

I have to say that after washing, Shirley is carved in pink and jade, and with that delicate pigtail, it looks harmless to humans and animals, so that Zheng Xiu can't connect with the "humanoids" who cut the murderous armed marauders into pieces with their bare hands not long ago.

"Head Drill Man" - Zheng Xiu didn't know the name of that guy, so he temporarily gave the deceased a solemn name. Zheng Xiu took the time to look at the corpse of the "head drill man", the neck was broken neatly, and the knife was fatal, although there was a careless component, it can be seen that Shirley's potential should be above the "head drill man".

Shirley was silent for a while, and finally said crisply: "That's the 'Quick Knife'." ”

Zheng Xiu and Yue Linglong glanced at each other.

Zheng Xiu asked, "Is this your name?" ”

Shirley shook her head: "Uncle, no. 'Quick knife' is 'fast knife'. Shirley knew that it was called the 'Quick Knife'. That's what the voice told Shirley. ”

Zheng Xiu's eyes froze: "That voice? ”

Shirley looked at Zheng Xiu curiously, her eyes blinked: "Uncle, can't you hear?" ”

In Shirley's opinion, Zheng Xiu is so powerful, he is the same kind of person as her. She must be able to hear "that voice", and she can hear it more clearly than she does.

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "Of course Uncle can hear it, but what Uncle wants to know is what Shirley heard." ”

Hearing this, Shirley smiled brightly and laughed happily, the reason why she was happy was that Zheng Xiu's response made her feel that she had found her kind, and in this bleak world, when she opened her eyes again, she had no other relatives except for her "sister". But now, Zheng Xiu's affirmation has given Shirley a "sense of belonging" and "identity".

Shirley smiled, closed her eyes, and opened her palms exaggeratedly next to her ears. In a dreamy tone, she seemed to recall "that voice."

"That voice told Shirley that Shirley was the 'chosen one', and only the 'chosen one' was eligible to have an 'artifact'."

"'Ability' is possessed by the inferior electorate. Shirley should have both 'abilities' and 'artifacts'! ”

Saying that, Shirley looked a little more annoyed: "But Shirley hasn't learned the 'ability' yet, when she saw the 'sister' injured, Shirley heard the voice, and her brain buzzed, and Shirley learned one of the 'artifacts'." ”

The light in the room quietly faded sometime, and it was a little more gloomy.

"Among them...... A? Zheng Xiu took out the box left by Fengbei, stared at Shirley's expression, and rubbed it in his hand.

Shirley's eyes were out of focus, and she didn't even glance at the box. Nodding his head, he said, "There are ten kinds of artifacts." The kind that Shirley learned was called 'Quick Knife'. ”

"Ah......h ”

Shirley closes her eyes:

Shirley described the voice with her mouth. Soon she shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no! Yes...... 'Tap, tap, tap', no, no, no! It's 'slap, snort, slap'. ”

"Ah......h

"Tick, tick, tick......"

Shirley nodded vigorously:

"It's 'tick, tick, tick'."

"Uncle, this is the 'voice of evolution'."
