"Uncle, Shirley is open!"

Shirley happily ran out with a floral dress.

"Yikes!"

Little Lori, who ran too fast, suddenly had a "flat fall" situation, dancing and looking like she was about to fall to the ground.

Qing Thirteen's eyes are fast, whew! He opened his mouth and blew a thick puff of smoke at Shirley.

Boom!

In Qing Shisan's stunned gaze, Zheng Xiu slapped the smoke that had not yet taken shape away.

At this moment, Qing Shisan's eyes flickered slightly, he was about to fall down when he saw Shirley just now, but in the blink of an eye, Shirley continued to "happily run towards Zheng Xiu with a floral skirt".

"Huh?"

Qing Shisan's eyes widened and he rubbed it vigorously, wondering if he was dazzled.

"Shirley is on!"

Shirley didn't seem to know what had just happened.

Zheng Xiu squatted in front of Shirley, smiled at Shirley, who had suffered a "dark childhood" and was now regaining her happiness little by little, and asked with a smile: "Shirley is so good!" ”

The corners of Qing Shisan's mouth twitched, and a black line silently snuffed out the fire in the cigarette stick.

"Hmm!"

Shirley nodded vigorously, for fear that Zheng Xiu wouldn't know that she was so good.

"Uncle wants to know how Shirley knows the password."

Shirley tilted her head and thought for a moment.

Just thought about it.

She shook her head:

"Shirley doesn't know."

Her delicate little face, which had been washed and carved in pink and jade, revealed an expression called "confused". She obviously couldn't understand the true meaning of Zheng Xiu's question.

After a while.

Shirley shook her head again and replied, "Shirley doesn't know, Shirley wants to help her uncle, there are a lot of numbers on it...... And it opened. ”

Zheng Xiu: "......"

Qing 13 scratched his head: "Is this girl ...... A few hundred words omitted in between? ”

Zheng Xiu didn't say anything.

Mia and Shasha couldn't understand what was going on.

Xia Sha glanced at Qing Thirteen, silently made a look of wiping her neck, and then turned her head slightly, as if waiting for Qing Thirteen to make a decision.

The predators who understood Xia Sha's actions suddenly felt their necks flutter, and the thought of "fighting to the death" popped up in their minds for a while. Keqing 13 shook his head and smiled: "Don't make your own decisions, listen to the boss." ”

In front of outsiders, Qing Shisan, like Mia, called Zheng Xiu "boss".

It doesn't mean anything else, it's just for unity, grounding, and convenient communication.

Xia Sha nodded, looking at the back of Qing Shisan's safe follow Zheng Xiu into the computer room, and flattened her mouth.

……

The computer room is dimly lit, and the spacious operation station spans almost the entire machine room.

There is a painting above the console.

A "world map".

Zheng Xiu originally thought that with the technological level of this world, at least it would be an LCD screen, or something higher-end. The "world map" erected above the workbench is simply a map of the world drawn on a large steel plate with an anti-rust layer and paint.

Zheng Xiu knocked hard, making a clanging sound, solid, hard.

The map of the world, as Zheng Xiu recognized, is composed of several plates, land and sea. Unfamiliar maps use basic red, yellow, blue, and green to distinguish the borders of different countries—the "borders" used by the previous civilization to be precise.

In every country that once existed in the "world", there was a miniature light bulb with a red light.

To Zheng Xiu's surprise, there were all kinds of mechanical knobs, levers, and closing buttons on the console, and there was not even a touch screen, which looked very backward at a glance.

Qing Shisan's reaction was the opposite of Zheng Xiu, he had never seen such a complex "machine", and his mouth let out a sigh: "Awesome! ”

Zheng Xiu thought about it, as the so-called complex structure, the easier it is to break. The simplest and most primitive mechanical and electrical structure is the main reason why this machine can continue to work after hundreds of years of silence.

Although there are no manuals and operating manuals, each button, knob, and lever is labeled to explain the function of each button.

Zheng Xiu glanced at it and instantly understood how to operate.

He lifted all the levers up in one go.

Bite!

Bite!

Bite!

Bite!

As a red light turns green on the "world map".

Zizizi——

Rustle Rustle –

Whoa, whoa, whoa—

The computer room was filled with noisy electrical and murmur.

suddenly

"Boom!"

The sound of houses collapsing.

"Squeak!"

There was a strange sound coming from the speakers.

This was followed by a flood...... No, it's more like some kind of swarm creature, a large and unified swarm creature, stepping on the sound of the city.

"District 2 Call! Zone 2 Call! We're surrounded! We're surrounded! ”

"Are there any living people? Are there still living people in the world? ”

"They're coming! Ahh Help me! They're stomping...... Yes! ”

Screams, gunshots, footsteps.

"District 13 is over!"

"It's all of them! It's all about them! ”

"District 19 is over!"

"Quick! Come on! Northward! There are no of them in the north! ”

"District 29 is over!"

"Oh my God! They're surrounding us! ”

"They're everywhere, they're everywhere, they're all ...... in the sea"

"Rustling ......"

"Rustling ......"

More and more voices are ringing out.

Immediately afterwards, these voices that sounded in the computer room and came from all over the world, and each of the hardest-hit areas, came to an abrupt end after conveying the despair, struggle, and predicament they were facing.

Keisan listened quietly to the voices from the world, and at first he could barely maintain the calmness of his expression, but as the wireless telegraphs from all over the world came and died, his face became more and more ugly.

Even if he didn't know what was happening in a certain corner of the world, who was shouting, Qing 13 didn't even know them, but their shouting made Qing 13 suddenly give birth to the illusion that countless lives were disappearing in his ears without warning.

This illusion made Qing 13 feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Obviously, after the signal shielding was removed, the computer room was full of noisy sounds from all over the world, but these "noises" were like "sounds of life" in this rare and peaceful land, and "sound of life" sounded, which means that there are still people alive somewhere in the world, and when the "sound of life" comes to an abrupt end, it means that there is a ...... in the world No, pieces of life are dying.

"Rustling ......"

"Tuk-tuk."

"Click."

The voice on the radio suddenly became clear.

It's as if someone is tapping on a "machine" that transmits radio signals.

A tired and young voice suddenly sounded in the computer room.

"Yes, can anyone hear me?"

The voice is immature and slightly hoarse.

"Here come the rats."

"Rustle...... Mom told me to hide here, she said tell me not to go out, she said she was going to play hide and seek with me......"

"Rustling ......"

"Mom said that this time you should be very serious and serious."

"Rustle...... Mom said that if I was found by Mom, Mom wouldn't be Mana's mother. ”

"Mom said don't be afraid, Mom said Dad went catch mice."

"I'm hungry......"

"It's so dark......"

"When Mom said Mana couldn't stand it, she radioed someone to talk to."

"But it's been a long, long, long time......"

"Mom didn't come back."

"Rustle...... Did Mom forget Mana? Rustling...... I'm so hungry. Mana was so hungry. ”

"Anyone?"

"A lot of uncles and aunts have been bitten by rats."

"Anyone?"

"Mana is hungry......"

"Mom's ......"

Qing Shisan's face changed slightly, he rushed past Zheng Xiu to the operating table, grabbed the microphone, and there was a faint hint of roar in his voice: "This is the valley!" This is the valley! I'm Qing! Where are you? ”

"Huh? Someone's got it! Mom didn't lie to me! ”

"Tell me where you are!"

"Rustle...... I'm so hungry...... Uncle...... Can you help Mana...... Zizi - Looking for Mom...... Rustling...... Yes! ”

Keisan's tired and weak voice was full of surprise in the unknown boy who contacted him by radio, but after a moment, he exclaimed, "Boom-"

Something slammed into the radio. Qing 13 reacted instantly, and the boy covered the microphone with his palm in a panic.

"Zizi...... Hush! ”

The boy tried to suppress the tremors and fear in his voice.

"Shh......h Hush...... Be quiet. ”

The boy said in a small voice that he was afraid of disturbing something, "Shhh...... Hush...... They...... Here they are...... Ahh

The brief call was interrupted by the boy's screams.

Qing 13 held the microphone in a daze, his eyes blank.

A broad palm gently patted Qing Thirteen's shoulder, making Qing Thirteen come back to his senses. Looking back, it was Zheng Xiu's calm expression, Zheng Xiu shook his head slowly, Qing Thirteen was silent, and put down the microphone.

"You didn't look like such a hot-blooded person before. …… He's dead. ”

Qing 13 was silent for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Qing also feels puzzled. Who in the world can not die? Qing knows this truth, and he also knows that this trip has a more important purpose for us to follow the master to fight in other realms. But just now, Qing Mou still involuntarily had an indisputable thought in his heart: Is it a little possible that if Qing can use the magic of the 'ferryman' to the extreme, he can easily save him somewhere? ”

Zheng Xiu did not speak.

Keisan walked to the corner and silently lit the cigarette stick. In the dark computer room, Qing Shisan's red-hot cigarette stick flickered and flickered, reflecting Qing Shisan's slightly vicissitudes of life after many things, and his thick and sexy beard.

After taking a few puffs, Qing 13 calmed down and said with a smile: "I'm sorry master, Qing Mou...... Naïve. ”

"We're running out of time."

Zheng Xiu seems to understand very well the "Holy Mother Heart" born from the shining part of human nature at that moment, in fact, everyone will have this kind of "occasional" time, but more often, this mood will be easily suppressed by various realities and reason.

"Try to contact Pei Gaoya and Gu Qiutang and tell them that we are heading all the way north."

Qing 13 nodded, and without waiting for Zheng Xiu's instructions, he took the initiative to open a door leading to the bottom of the dam, and he could save some distance for the old man, which was what he should do.

Zheng Xiu pushed Qing 13 open the "Bund Gate", and was about to step in, but stopped.

He closed his eyes, and after the signal shield was lifted, the radio signals from all over the world, the information in them were intertwined in Zheng Xiu's mind, and after being quickly processed, a terrifying picture was formed.

On the "world map", the "black waves" surging in all directions twist and squeeze the world.

Zheng Xiu turned his head abruptly and glanced at the map, he suddenly understood: "This is ...... A battle royale. ”

At this time, the hot blood that surged into his head on Qing Shisan's head had cooled, and he returned to his usual calm. Hearing this, Qing 13 was stunned suddenly: "Battle Royale? ”

Zheng Xiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the world map, and he muttered to himself: "District 2, District 32, District 13, District 29......" Zheng Xiu read out the areas that were tragically destroyed by the "rat tide" on the radio just now.

Qing Shisan's eyes moved with Zheng Xiu's muttering, and soon he also understood, and said in surprise: "Rats, are appearing from all over the world, like a wave, sweeping the world?" No way! How can there be so many ...... Mouse? ”

Qing 13 came to the valley early, and he hadn't seen the terrible rat tide in District 32 with his own eyes, so it was reasonable to have such an idea.

The area where the rat tide spreads, on the world map, is like a huge poison circle, and the areas in the poison circle have encountered a terrible rat tide, and there must be very few people who can survive the rat tide, or those "humanoids" with various strange abilities, there is a possibility of escaping.

A thought became clearer and clearer in Zheng Xiu's thoughts.

"The rat tide is a poisonous circle, and the scope is the whole world, and at this moment, while the rat tide is expanding, the poisonous circle is also shrinking at a terrifying speed."

"The Voice of Evolution, it turns out that this is the 'Voice of Evolution'!"

"He drove the rat tide, and in this way, forced the surviving 'new humans' to flee where he envisioned."

"This is a 'elimination', an 'evolution', a 'screening', and a ...... 'battle royale'!"

"I was wrong."

Zheng Xiu's face suddenly appeared: "It's not that he is chasing the relics of the 'Lady of the Night', but the believers who are carrying the relics of the 'Lady of the Night' have to flee for their lives to the final destination driven by the 'Poison Circle'!" ”

"He's looking for 'paradise' too?"

"No......" Zheng Xiu's eyes flashed, he shook his head, and quickly denied the previous idea: "For hundreds of years, He has known that 'Paradise' is in the north, and He has known it for a long time, but there is something in 'Paradise' that makes him jealous, so He used this tragic way to drive the survivors to 'Paradise'!" ”

Zheng Xiu, who wanted to understand this matter, suddenly stepped into the door, and before disappearing, he left a sentence for Qing Shisan: "I understand." Try to practice Lao Pei and those who can't move, and it doesn't matter if you can't get in touch. Because if they survive, we will all be together in the ...... Paradise! ”

"Tell them to leave before dawn, and if the train doesn't work well before dawn, then they don't have to leave, and we'll go to 'Paradise' alone."

Zheng Xiu left an almost ruthless sentence to Qing Shisan, and his tone was still calm, but Zheng Xiu's decision seemed to have a countdown in Qing Shisan's mind, and he vaguely figured out Zheng Xiu's worries at the moment from Zheng Xiu's words, as well as his judgment of the current critical situation.

Crossing the door, Zheng Xiu returned to the quiet town, to the dilapidated hut where they had temporarily lived.

There is a dim oil lamp in the middle of the house, and "oil" is also a luxury in this world. When Zheng Xiu stepped into the house, Yue Linglong fell asleep on the table, and then she woke up in a daze, rubbing her sleepy eyes: "Husband, you're back." ”

The reason why she burned "oil" extravagantly was to light a lamp for Zheng Xiu to go home.

Temporary home.

"You go back to sleep."

Purr ......

Purr ......

Orange cats never sleep for a well-known reason. I saw the orange cat lying on a pile of cans with "Fengbei cuisine flavor", and made a bed neatly and elegantly with cans, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was asleep. She seemed to be asleep, but she wasn't fully asleep.

"Borrow a step to speak!"

Zheng Xiu unceremoniously carried the soft flesh on the back of Anne's neck and strode out of the house.

One person and one cat sat on the eaves, and Lord Anne was pretending to have a dream of hanging bats, which made Zheng Xiu disturb Yaxing, which was quite unhappy. Just when I was about to go crazy, "Po! The macho man's palm pressed against Anne's hairy head and rubbed it vigorously.

"Anne, do you know that the 'humanoids' in this world, their abilities are so interesting."

"Forcibly turning 'what' into 'what' on the premise of complying with certain restrictions."

"Like turning your hair into a drill."

"Turn the two dots and one line of two coins into a super electromagnetic cannon."

"Turn your trench coat into a holster suit."

The orange cat was full of excitement, and subconsciously wanted to go to the house, pretending to be fine, but Zheng Xiu presciently pressed her head, unless she was crazy, she would really not be able to jump out of the palm of the macho man for a while. Besides, Zheng Xiu's original use of [Amendment] to twist her authority into the shape of a macho man actually left a lot of shadows in Lord Anne's heart.

I don't want it! Anne shook her head vigorously, she didn't want her super-level authority to be twisted around by the macho man again.

"There is a little girl whose abilities are even more outrageous."

Under the dark night, Zheng Xiu's voice was a little more eerie and mysterious.

"She can do what she wants. I guess it's the ability of the law of cause and effect to turn an 'ideal' into a 'reality'? ”

"This, hahaha......" Lady Anne laughed awkwardly, "It's very interesting." ”

Zheng Xiu grabbed the orange cat's skull, and the whole cat was mentioned in front of him, squinting his eyes and showing an amiable smile: "You said, a system so similar to the 'doorway', do you think you have nothing to do with you now, do you think I will believe it?" ”
