Bai Weiwei slowly opened her eyes, and a tear uncontrollably rolled down her cheek.

...

The survivors from the steel mill were undoubtedly the most pleasing to Company Commander Li. Their leader was a foreman in the steel mill known as Brother Long, who was also a Star-Chosen One with considerable strength.

Upon realizing that it was the army arriving, this seemingly unruly giant surprisingly cooperated.

After learning of Company Commander Li's purpose, they not only took the initiative to lead Company Commander Li to the warehouse where the goods were stored, but also prepared to have their professional workers directly help him with the packing and transportation.

They were neither as evil as Ye Xingluo from Nantong University, nor as arrogant as Princess Li Yuechan. This moved Company Commander Li deeply, and he lowered his guard against the steel mill survivors.

At the same time, I can't help but sigh... finally, I've met a normal person...

"Company Commander Li, you must be tired from your journey. I've had my men prepare plenty of food so you can eat before you go."

Faced with Brother Long's enthusiastic invitation, Company Commander Li hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

If he were to refuse someone's enthusiastic offer, he would inevitably alienate them.

Moreover, under his observation, nothing seemed out of the ordinary at the steel mill... Everyone was living in harmony and prosperity as if the apocalypse had never happened, which was a good opportunity for the weary soldiers to rest here.

The reconstruction of Nantong City requires the joint efforts of all citizens. The regimental commander also asked him to find someone who could take on important responsibilities during the process. In the eyes of Company Commander Li, Brother Long was a good candidate. He was neither arrogant nor humble and did things in an orderly manner.

Most importantly... they were given the respect due to those from the military region.

This becomes especially clear when compared to the princess and Nantong University.

So, apart from the soldiers on guard duty outside and those waiting in the main battle tanks, almost everyone else gathered in the steel mill's canteen.

Then, a rich aroma wafted from the direction of the kitchen.

Soon after, stacks of large pieces of meat were neatly arranged in front of everyone.

This... was clearly an all-meat feast.

"This is...too lavish!"

Company Commander Li also looked at Brother Long in surprise.

Food is undoubtedly extremely precious in the apocalypse, and he never expected that Brother Long would bring out so much meat for them.

“To be honest, my father served in the military for many years, so I’m practically a member of a military family,” Brother Long said slowly, opening the pocket watch he was wearing to reveal a photo of himself and his father in military uniform. “In the apocalypse, the military’s strength is even more needed, so these… are nothing in comparison.”

"Good! Good!"

These words brought tears to the eyes of Company Commander Li. If all the citizens of Nantong had the same awareness as Brother Long, humanity could withstand even the greatest disasters!

"In that case, let's all not stand on ceremony."

Brother Long greeted them warmly, and Company Commander Li was the first to pick up his chopsticks.

Bai Dai looked around the steel mill, but his brows furrowed slightly.

It did indeed look perfectly normal, just as Company Commander Li had described.

But this very normalcy... made Bai Dai feel that something was not normal.

"Is this Mayor Bai? I wonder if he's not eating because it's not to his liking?"

Brother Long looked at Bai Dai, who was frowning, and quickly asked.

"It's nothing, I just have a question in my mind." Bai Dai looked at the cooked meat on the plate and stared at Brother Long. "I don't know what kind of meat this is. I'm not good at recognizing it."

Upon hearing this, Brother Long suddenly revealed a strange smile and slowly uttered two words.

"Human flesh search".

...

Chapter 216 Despair! The Dazzling Debut of the Lazy Girl!

Like a wild beast that had been hiding for a long time finally opening its fangs, the man named Brother Long revealed a crazed expression.

"The taste is not bad... like other similar flavors?"

Brother Long clapped his hands, and a curtain hanging behind the cafeteria was immediately pulled down. In that corner that was almost ignored by everyone, an iron hook with a cold gleam hung on the wall, and skinned humans hung on it like dried bacon.

"vomit!"

Company Commander Li and some others who had already eaten large amounts of meat immediately began to lick their throats.

What was originally a lavish feast on the table had completely transformed into a terrifying sight in their eyes.

They could even feel a chilling aura emanating from the food on Table Mountain, as if the dead were staring at them with their pale eyes.

Why...?

Company Commander Li looked at Brother Long in disbelief.

Just now, under Brother Long's guidance, Company Commander Li also saw their inventory, which clearly contained plenty of food that normal humans could eat... Why did they have to...?

"Hahaha! This is the evil god's favorite food!" A familiar fanaticism rose on Brother Long's face. "As followers of the evil god, we should naturally follow in the evil god's footsteps. We can only settle for second best when those delicate foods are offered to the evil god!"

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Li's expression changed drastically. From just a few words from Brother Long, he realized that these people had probably been misled into a cult and had been severely brainwashed.

This group of people cannot be judged by normal thinking; they... have become a group of lunatics.

Bai Dai also cast a knowing look at the guy who called himself a follower of an evil god; his ominous premonition had come true... This place, which seemed the most normal in the apocalypse, was far more dangerous than any region they had passed through before.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he should have told Company Commander Li about his suspicions sooner.

After all, people change with their environment. Some time has passed since the apocalypse, and naturally, ways of surviving in the apocalypse have emerged. But the people right now treat them with the same attitude they had before the apocalypse!

Although Ye Xingluo and the princess treated them very badly, Bai Dai had to admit that their behavior and way of doing things were quite common in the apocalypse.

In the end times, there will never be the saying "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

Bai Dai looked around and saw the evil god cultists constantly emerging from the corners, subtly surrounding them. His expression turned somewhat ugly.

Given this situation... it seems the other side definitely won't let them off easily.

"What... exactly do you want to do?"

Company Commander Li, after all, was a man of great experience and knowledge. He had regained his composure after the initial panic. Although he still felt a strong nausea, he kept his cold gaze fixed on Brother Long in front of him.

As Company Commander Li gave the hand signal, the well-equipped soldiers behind him simultaneously raised their assault rifles, aiming their dark muzzles at the people who intended to surround them. At his command, everyone would be riddled with bullets in an instant.

“Tell me your purpose, and I might let you die a little more easily,” Company Commander Li said decisively. He was no longer going to let these guys with lives on their hands go. “Although your acting was quite good, I really don’t know what gave you the courage to provoke my fully armed team.”

The assault rifle in his hand gave Company Commander Li a lot of confidence, but after his gaze swept over the cultists who remained expressionless even when facing the gun barrels, a sense of confusion suddenly flashed through his mind... Aren't these people afraid?

"I'll give you two choices." Faced with Company Commander Li's threat, Brother Long simply held up two fingers. "Eat all this delicious food and become one of us, or you become the food on the table and are eaten by us."

"shot!"

Realizing that the cultists before him seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Company Commander Li decisively shouted and gave the order to fire... These madmen were beyond negotiation!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

A series of screams suddenly rang out, but... they were not from the cultists whose guns the soldiers were pointing at.

Under Company Commander Li's bloodshot gaze, the soldiers he had brought here all began to spontaneously combust the instant the gun was fired... Black flames of death seemed to appear out of thin air, slowly spreading across the bodies of the many soldiers.

The black flames burned slowly, but the pain they inflicted was unimaginable. Even battle-hardened soldiers couldn't help but let out bloodcurdling screams, as if the flames were burning not only their bodies but also their souls.

Company Commander Li felt as if his heart was bleeding, but he was powerless to do anything but watch helplessly as his comrades died one by one in the devilish flames.

At this moment, all the cultists present knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with fanaticism that had clearly reached its peak. Their devout appearance seemed to be welcoming the arrival of their god.

Suddenly, a huge dragon head appeared out of nowhere in the void.

Then... came a body as black as ink, resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, its outstretched claws gleaming with a blinding cold light.

A sense of despair suddenly arose in the hearts of Bai Dai and Company Commander Li, who had survived. After seeing the monster in front of them, they no longer had any desire to resist.

Faced with that overwhelming pressure, they could only feel their own weakness and insignificance.

"Why...why didn't you kill me?"

Company Commander Li knelt weakly on the ground, using his last bit of strength and courage to roar at the monster before him.

"Kill you?" The dinosaur-like monster suddenly spoke in human language, "No, no, no... I will not only not kill you, but I will also let you go back. After all, you should be the highest-ranking beings among these humans, and to me... you are also good servants."

Upon hearing this, Bai Dai was shocked that the monster before him possessed intelligence, and at the same time, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

Considering the devout-looking cultist and the monster's intention to let them go... could it be...?

"Even if I die, I will never become a slave to you monsters!"

Company Commander Li instantly guessed the monster's thoughts, suddenly picked up his gun, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

He would rather die than become a scourge that poisons the world!

"boom!"

A sharp gunshot suddenly rang out.

However, the pain that Company Commander Li had imagined did not occur. He opened his eyes with trembling hands and looked in the direction of the gun barrel, then suddenly opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Two jade-like fingers miraculously caught a bullet that was only millimeters away from his head at the last second.

"Uncle Li and Uncle Bai, you go first, leave this to me." Jin Jiajia casually tossed the bullet aside, a rare serious expression appearing on her face. "I've been slacking off all the way, it's time for me to fulfill my promise to the old man."

Upon seeing Jin Jiajia suddenly appear, Bai Dai didn't say much. He immediately summoned Pi Yanzi and, along with Company Commander Li, smashed through the glass and charged towards the soldiers who were standing guard outside.

In this critical moment, all he could do was believe that this petite girl, who was not yet an adult, had escaped!

Then...transmit the evil here to the military district!

Chapter 217 Indestructible Vajra, I'll Break Your Connection

"The death of the Devourer proves... that there are indeed beings among humans who can kill us." Floating in mid-air, Evil Moon said slowly, "So before your power is restored, I think it's best if you all don't become too arrogant... losing half of the Evil God Pearl is troublesome enough."

"Humans are nothing to worry about." However, in response to Xie Yue's warning, the stone statue where Mo Yan was located spoke with utter disdain, "Ants are just ants, at the bottom of the food chain."

The other stone statues echoed in agreement, clearly... they thought Xie Yue was being overly cautious.

Even if they arrived on this planet earlier and were somewhat lacking in power, they would still be at a level that humans cannot reach.
