forced to be pampered by monsters

Zhang Er buried his head and ate a piece of barbecue by himself, and couldn't help but look at Weimian again.

His abnormality was not noticed by anyone, but it did not escape the eyes of the black cat.

Seeing the black cat eating the barbecue, Wei Mian was very surprised, and tore off another piece to feed it.

Zhang Er was looking at him quietly, and suddenly met a pair of dark red vertical pupils.

The black cat swallowed the barbecue whole, without even chewing, and cast a cold gaze.

It squatted quietly on Sleepless's left shoulder, motionless, and looked a little weird, as if it was not a real cat, but a cat's shell, and there was some creature that didn't want to be known inside.

Zhang Er's spine suddenly felt cold, and he shivered involuntarily.

He didn't dare to take another look, and the feeling of astonishment when he saw Weimian's face faded a lot.

After calming down, Zhang Er felt that this person, Weimian, was really strange.

Not to mention whether Chao Chung was really stopped by him, he appeared alone in this barren area, without a companion, and most likely did not join the base, and was brought here so easily by Wen Yue to accept their food.

In the apocalypse, adding a powerful new human to the team would indeed do more good than harm, but they don't know anything about Unmian, so they must not take it lightly.

Though thinking like this, Zhang Er still raised his head again, those dark red vertical pupils made him tremble for a while.

He comforted himself that it was just an animal, so what if it was a monster, and he was afraid that it would fail.

Weimian, who was sitting by the ruins, was about to feed the black cat for the third time. It turned its head and stopped eating, and jumped off its shoulders to lie down in Weimian's arms.

Its body is condensed from black mist, and it probably doesn't need to eat normally, Wei Mian no longer insists, and eats all the remaining barbecue meat in his hand.

Wen Ya handed over a homemade paper towel soaked in water at the right time, asked Weimian to wipe his hands, and sat down not far from him, "Is there enough to eat? There's more over there, we can't finish it." , Throwing it away is also a waste.”

Weimian quickly shook her head: "That's enough...thank you."

Wen Yue saw this scene from behind and took a second look.

Sure enough, a person's appearance can affect his attitude the most. Before he brought Weimian back, he never expected that his sister would care so actively and enthusiastically.

Weimian wiped his hands, crumpled the tissue into a ball and clenched it tightly in his hand, he was not used to talking with anyone so close.

The black cat saw his nervousness, and slowly licked the back of his hand with its barbed tongue.

Wen Ya secretly looked at Wei Mian, the coat on his body looked like it had been worn for a long time, the sleeves and the edge of the neckline were frayed with threads, the hat was sewn from several kinds of fabrics, and the thread was crooked.

Coupled with the way he almost devoured the barbecue just now, it is unknown how long he has been in the wild by himself.

Wenya didn't delve into the other reasons why Weimian appeared alone in the woods. In her opinion, with the power of Weimian, no matter which base you go to, you will receive the best treatment.

She couldn't help asking: "How old are you? Where is your family?"

Weimian paused while pinching the tissue, and said in a low voice, "Nineteen...I have no family."

He has no family and has been wandering outside. Although he has the ability to save his life, it is nothing more than that.

Wen Ya became more and more distressed, and sighed: "The Guishan base is not too far from here, if you want to go, I can draw a map..."

She was different from what Wen Yue thought, going to the Garden of Eden was their business, and unless Wemian brought it up, she would not ask him to go with him.

And if Weimian is willing to join the Guishan base, the map is the only help she can provide, and they can't delay sending him there any longer.

As for Weimian after successfully arriving at Guishan Base, the people inside will be responsible for the assessment and acceptance.

Weimian stroked the cat in his arms, but finally did not tell Wenya that he was expelled from Xicheng.

Almost all major bases have a system of deportation, and there may be a slight difference, but the deported people are all "useless people."

He had lied in the first place, and if he was asked why he didn't go back after being successfully transformed, he couldn't find a suitable reason at all.

Weimian also understands that when Wenya and the others find out that he is not a new human at all, their attitude will never be the same as it is now.

Weimian felt a little regretful, if he had known that when he met Wen Yue, he shouldn't have recognized the black mist as his ability...

He felt guilty for lying, but also inevitably a little greedy.

The reason is very simple, the grilled meat tasted really good just now, why is the grilled fish made by him and the spider so unpalatable...

Perhaps, he can learn the method of grilling meat from Wenya and the others, but he doesn't expect anything else.

Weimian has been silent and did not respond, Wenya bent on thinking that he rejected herself.

"The decision is up to you," Wen Ya said gently, "We are leaving in the afternoon, do you plan to stay in the woods, or go somewhere else?"

Weimian stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction: "Over there, find the water source."

At this time, Wen Yue interjected: "We happen to be going there too, shall we go together?"

Wenya didn't refute, looked at Weimian, and patiently waited for his reply.

Weimian recalled that Wen Yue mentioned the purpose of their trip, and hesitated: "Wen Yue said, are you going to the Garden of Eden?"

He also wanted to know more about the Garden of Eden from them, the new human being who had mutated into a believer, and he was also hesitating whether to tell them.

Wen Ya glanced at Wen Yue, then turned around: "Yes, the few of us came out this time just for the Garden of Eden."

Weimian was even more curious: "Where is the Garden of Eden...?"

Now it was Wen Ya's turn to be surprised. They thought Weimian was interested in Eden, and thought he knew about it.

Wen Yue said meaningfully: "A place that new humans cannot refuse."

Zhang San, one of the triplets, replied sternly: "Eden, the base that was built just a few months ago, the leader claimed that his ability is 'enhanced', which can help all new humans strengthen or evolve abilities."

In addition, the Garden of Eden was originally a base such as a supply station, providing various resource exchanges for passers-by.

In the last days, money has become a piece of useless waste paper, only medicinal materials, weapons, and food can be exchanged for other equivalent items.

"Strengthen...or evolve?" Weimian couldn't hide his surprise.

No wonder Wen Yue said that, the living environment in the last days is getting worse and worse, but the number of new humans is only decreasing. Only by strengthening their strength can they have a chance to deal with more believers and monsters.

Even if it wasn't for these, who wouldn't want to become stronger.

"I'm not sure if it's true or not," Wen Ya's downcast eyes couldn't see emotion, and the hair beside her ears fluttered in the wind, "Go and see the situation first."

As she spoke, she took out a map, which was exactly the same as the one in Sleepless' hands, including the icon of the most central Garden of Eden.

The map was sent to each base by Eden, and their leader was doing business, not charity.

If you want to enhance your ability, you will naturally need to pay for it, and they don't know what it is.

Seeing the familiar map in Wenya's hand, Weimian was stunned for a while, and then took out her own copy from the pocket of her jacket.

The black cat in his arms became agitated for some reason, and its tail doubled in size, staring at the map in Wen Ya's hands.

Weimian thought it was because it didn't like Wen Ya's approach, so she stroked it comfortingly, and explained to Wen Ya and the others who were also surprised: "I picked up my map."

The black cat has regained its tranquility, half-closed its dark red eyes and rubbed against the palm of Wanmian's hand, Weimian thought for a while, and then took out the engraved identity card.

The supernatural power of the leader of the Garden of Eden, the deliberately spread map, and the mutated new human all made Weimian feel uneasy.

He handed the ID card to Wen Ya: "This man, he became a believer in the woods."

Wen Yue looked closely at the identity card in Wenya's hand, and said without thinking, "Impossible."

The identity card is clearly engraved with the abilities possessed by the master. Since he is a new human being, how can he become a believer.

Weimian moved her lips and said in a low voice, "I saw it with my own eyes."

There was still a trace of fear and fear in his words, the black cat stood up with its front paws hooked on the sleepless clothes, and licked his side face.

Weimian hugged the black cat tightly, although Hei Mist used vines and squirrel shells to approach him, but if it wasn't for it, he would have died in the woods long ago.

Hearing what Weimian said, the faces of several people including Wenya changed suddenly.

New humans mutate into believers, something that has never happened before.

From the last days to the present, the reason why new humans can compete with believers is precisely because of their ability and stability.

If they also mutate, wouldn't they become a batch of new time bombs.

The shortening of Chao Chung's time this time has made several people aware of the crisis, but they never imagined that something will happen to the new humans.

Wen Yue asked anxiously: "Is it really a believer? Isn't it his ability? Was he infected again by the attack?"

The ability on the identity card reads "Fire Element", and believers will not be able to infect new humans at all. Wen Yue knows it's impossible, but still has hope.

"It's a believer," said Weimian with blue and white scales, how could he admit his mistake, "I don't know about the others."

Wen Yue didn't ask about the situation of that person after the mutation. Weimian was able to pick up the ID card and map, which proved that he had died a long time ago, and most of them died under the hands of Weimian.

This can also explain Weimian's first reaction when meeting him was to attack.

Wen Yue stood up and paced back and forth nearby, his face becoming more and more solemn.

He squatted next to Wenya again, and grabbed her arm: "Sister, why don't we..."

Wen Ya interrupted him: "It's getting late, pack up your things and leave here."

How could she not know what Wen Yue was thinking, the Changchuan Base went to the Garden of Eden one step ahead of them, and according to the time calculation, the person Weimian met had returned from the Garden of Eden.

On the way back from the Garden of Eden, he mutated into a believer... There may be some connection between the two.

But Wen Ya didn't want to say this in front of Weimian, she adjusted her expression and looked at Weimian: "We are also going to find water, how about we go together?"

Weimian did not refuse this invitation again, he complied and stood up with the black cat in his arms.

The traces of the fire and barbecue were simply cleaned up by the triplets, and the remaining raw meat would easily leave traces of fishy smell along the way, so they could only be thrown away.

After finishing all this, several people set off together, with Weimian following at the end.

He looked back into the distance, wondering if the spider had followed.

—

In the woods, after Weimian and Wen Yue left together, the spider came out of the cocoon.

Hei Mist also went with him, obviously agreeing that the stranger approached Sleepless.

And it is such a big monster, so of course it can't show up in order to stay awake.

Spider looked down at his own eight legs and huge belly, secretly sad.

It quickly cheered up and weaved a new cocoon, and the world that got into the cocoon followed quietly.

The place where Sleepless arrived was some distance away from the woods, and the spider was panting with exhaustion. When it stopped, it pulled all the cocoons along the way and ate them, as a supplement for the next section of the road.

While eating, it opened a hole and looked outside.

At this time, the spider saw a small, familiar figure jumping onto the pile of ruins, staring at Sleepless in the other direction just like it.

The palm-high body and the appearance of a dead branch...it turned out to be that dead branch insect.

Neither Sleepless nor the spider saw it again after the nest surged, and thought it was no longer in the woods, but it was not only there, but also intended to follow Sleepless.

The twig worm also seemed to have noticed something strange, and when it raised its head, it happened to see a hole in the air, and the eyes from inside fell on it.

It blinked its sesame-sized eyes, raised its forelegs and waved them threateningly.

With the absence of the black mist, the twig worm was not afraid of spiders, and the spiders were obviously hiding here just like it.

The spider silently watched the dead branch insect's arrogance, and continued to eat the cocoon with its head buried.

Until Sleepless set off again, the spider hurriedly followed.

The same is true for the dead branch insect. It is small in size and cannot be found unless you look carefully. It jumps recklessly among the ruins.

The spider was very envious, and didn't dare to stop weaving the cocoon in its mouth, but it was still far behind.

Seeing that the sleepless figure was getting farther and farther away, and there were no other monsters or believers nearby, the spider gritted its teeth and simply got out of the cocoon.

The deadwood worm was startled by the sudden appearance of the spider, and looked at it warily.

But it later discovered that the spider was just like it, following the direction in which Sleepless left, keeping a distance that would neither be discovered nor lost.

Don't worry about the dead branch worm, as long as it doesn't cause trouble for it.

As a result, two monsters with very different sizes moved forward together in this quiet, harmonious, and slightly weird atmosphere.

Along the way, the deadwood kept looking at the spider.

It knew that the spider was Hei Mist's subordinate, and had cooked grilled fish for Weimian several times by the lake.

When the nest came, the dead branch insect was safe and sound hiding in the grass, but was scared to death by the black mist that appeared later.

Fortunately, the black mist just killed all the believers, and didn't do anything to it. After it recovered, it wanted to come out to find Wei Mian, but the black mist was always by her side, and it didn't dare to approach.

Black Mist doesn't like any creature to be close to Sleepless, that squirrel was like that.

The only thing that was spared was the spider, which made the deadwood envious.

It jumped onto the ruins beside it and approached the spider, saying hello to it: "Chirp?"

The spider was too big to hide, and it was nervously observing the surroundings. When it heard the sound of the deadwood insect, it just glanced at it and didn't make any other reaction.

Seeing this, the dead branch worm turned and ran away alone, and couldn't help approaching again after a while.

Weimian and the humans in front stopped halfway, as if they were looking at which way to go, and the spider quickly hid behind the ruins.

The deadwood worm didn't need to be as cautious as it was. Standing on the ruins, it looked down at the spider and patted its head with its forelimbs.

The spider didn't move, didn't get angry or pushed it away, and mung bean-sized eyes looked at it blankly.

This made the twig worm feel curious, and it didn't care that it didn't take care of its own business just now.

It simply climbed onto the top of the spider's head and sat down: "Chirp?"

The spider didn't dare to make a sound at all, seeing that the dead branch insect didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, it let it go.

When Sleepless set off with the team again, it took the dead branch insects on its head and walked around the ruins in front of it silently.

—

When it was almost dark, a group of people came to the nearest city ruins.

Unlike the previous ruins, most of this place is the remains of high-rise buildings that have not yet collapsed, and the original appearance of the road covered with green plants and gravel can be vaguely seen.

They entered the ruins area and found a small stream that almost crossed half of the area. The nearby plants were lush and wanton, and the stream was very clear.

The triplets unpacked the bags on their backs, one was responsible for fetching water, and the other two were going to look around for food.

Wen Ya took a sip of the fetched water, seeing Weimian was indifferent, guessed: "I still have a clean kettle here, if you don't mind it, use it first?"

Weimian nodded embarrassedly: "Thank you."

He usually only used a stump to hold water, and the stump was at the spider's place...

Weimian took the wooden water bottle from Wenya, thanked her again, and knelt down by the stream.

Most of the water source that the spider found last night was also here. Weimian drank half of the jug of water in one breath, then turned around and handed the jug to the black cat.

Unmoved, the black cat licked the side of his face.

After filling the water bottle, Wei Mian got up and saw Wen Ya and Wen Yue setting up a tent.

It was the first time he saw this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but take a second look. Wen Ya noticed his gaze, smiled and said, "We only have two tents, and we have to change the vigil. Look..."

Weimian quickly shook her head: "Don't worry about me, I'll just sleep outside."

There are many places to hide here, no matter how bad it is, he can just sleep in the grass by the stream.

Wenya only thinks that Sleepless's ability is powerful, and she doesn't need to care about these at all, so she doesn't say more.

She lowered her head and fastened the belt of the tent, tugged at Wen Yue who had been silent all this time, and lowered her voice: "Okay...we were arranged by the base, how can we just go back as soon as we say it."

What's more, the reason for the mutation of the new human in Unmian's mouth is related to the Garden of Eden is just a guess, they need to see it to be sure.

Besides, they didn't have to make a deal with the leader of the Garden of Eden.

"I know," Wen Yue responded softly, "I'm just... flustered."

Chao Chung, who suddenly shortened the time, and the mutated new human beings, he always felt that something big was about to happen.

I don't know if there is any hope for this journey.

Weimian sat down on a nearby rock, stroked the black cat in his arms, and whispered to it: "Let's just rest here for one night, okay? I think they are quite nice..."

He spoke the second half of the sentence very softly, only the black cat could hear it, and the black cat silently rubbed the tip of his nose, sticking its meat pad wider than the cat it was looking for to his face.

WeiMian took it as consent, frowned and smiled, and lowered his head to bury his face in the black cat's thick fur.

The black cat's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, enjoying the proactive approach of Wumian, and the few people nearby were also pleasing to the eye.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Yi and Zhang San, who had gone out to look for food, finally came back.

They caught a few birds and some leaves of wild vegetables. Although the meat was not much, it was enough to eat.

When Zhang Yi and Zhang San came back, both of them had their coats in their hands, and they were only wearing a thin vest. Weimian saw some scaly things on their arms that were slowly disappearing.

They should be animal-like abilities, some parts of the body can be mutated into inhuman forms, powerful, and new humans with physical fitness far exceeding ordinary abilities.

As for Wenya and Wenyue, Weimian has not seen their abilities.

Wen Yue collected a lot of dead branches and leaves to make a fire, and it should be ready to make dinner.

Weimian intentionally observed how they grilled meat, but Wen Ya took out a few wooden bowls, chopsticks, and a pot from her backpack, and poured some water into it.

A few birds had been skinned, their internal organs were peeled off and cleaned, and they were divided into small pieces and put into the pot together with wild vegetables. Wen Ya added a little powdery stuff to it.

All of this is beyond Wan Mian's expectation, he has no pot, even if he learns it, he can't do it.

While Weimian was watching, the black cat was also watching, and the dark red pupils became more and more strange under the night, staring straight at the direction of the pot.

Zhang Er sat next to Wen Ya, feeling uncomfortable with the sight of the black cat, got up and went elsewhere.

Gradually, the aroma from the pot drifted over with the wind, Weimian quietly twitched the tip of her nose, her eyes under the brim of her hat were faintly shining.

When the meat and vegetables were cooked, Wenya filled a bowl first and handed it to Weimian.

Weimian was flattered, and took it over: "Thank you..."

The soup in the bowl was still boiling hot, he blew on the cooling air, couldn't help but take a sip first, and wrinkled his face the next second.

But Weimian didn't care, he held the wooden bowl like a treasure, and finally ate it clean, not even a little soup left.

Wen Ya who was sitting on the other side didn't say a word, took his bowl and filled another serving for him, and refused to stuff it into his hand regardless of Wan Mian.

"Eat more," Wenya couldn't help sighing, "You're too thin."

With a sore nose, Weimian lowered his head: "Yeah."

Apart from Spider and Black Mist, Wenya was the third person who treated him so well.

After dinner, Wenya went to the stream to wash the tableware of several people, and Weimian rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to help.

Wen Ya didn't refuse, moved a little to the side, and said with a smile: "When Wen Yue was your age, he would only hide at home and sleep."

She didn't say whether it was before or after she became a new human being, and Weimian quietly washed the dishes, with only a small tip of her chin exposed under the moonlight.

Wen Ya suddenly became curious: "I see you have been wearing a hat, is it because you are afraid of the cold?"

Or afraid of light?The temperature is gradually increasing these days, and the nights are not too cold.

Weimian's body stiffened for a moment, and he said vaguely, "Mmm..."

He obviously didn't want to say more, so he stopped mentioning it elegantly and wittily, and took the washed bowl in his hand and put it back in his backpack.

Zhang Yi and Zhang II of the triplets were in charge of the night watch in the first half of the night, and the other three went to sleep in the tent.

Weimian deliberately looked for the spider to follow, walked around a little farther, and sat behind a tree.

He waited for a while without seeing any movement from the spider, and his drowsiness slowly came to him.

Weimian leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep just like that, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a dream.

He wrinkled a little bit between his brows, got into the black mist, took his hand and put it on his stomach: "Uncomfortable..."

Maybe it's because he ate too much at noon and evening today, and his stomach can't bear it when he usually only eats a little.

A hand poked in from under the hem of the clothes, the warm palm touched the smooth skin, and the black mist hugged him tightly: "Where does it hurt?"

"It's not painful," Weimian closed her eyes, buried her face in the black mist and murmured, "It's because I ate too much, I need to rub it..."

Hei Wu was silent for a moment, and his hands gently massaged: "Don't eat more next time."

Weimian said distressedly: "But I can't help it...why are the things made by other people so delicious..."

Hei Wu rubbed him for a while, then bowed his head and said, "I can do it for you too."

His breath sprinkled on Weimian's horns, with a bit of resentment and unwillingness, Weimian shrank his neck and said bluntly: "...Oh."
