Chapter 136: Rescue

If we leave the meatballs alone, once they spread to other areas, it will be a very troublesome situation. Even if we kill this one, it will only be a temporary solution and other meatballs will appear later. But now all I can do is clean up Tiannan City first.

If I want to develop followers in the future, I will need a safe enough place. I can’t bring all of them into the mirror.

I got to work right away. I found a pretty good office on the top floor and used my ability to control objects to simply clear out an area for me to rest and work. In addition to serving as a temporary rest area, it was mainly used to keep my notes properly.

You can study the contents of the notes carefully later when you have time.

Then, I briefly checked Xiaobai's injuries. There were almost no supplies left in the investigation bureau. I searched for a long time before I found a box of expired medical supplies.

Although it's expired, the triangular bandage inside has never been opened, so it should be usable. Besides, Xiaobai is a fairly powerful abnormal unit after all. I'm still alive and well even after being seriously injured. I shouldn't die from using an expired triangular bandage.

Xiaobai was so moved by my behavior that he started to scream and chatter. Of course, it might also be because it hurt, after all, I'm not good at this.

"Woo, woo, woo! Master! You are the softest-hearted god I have ever met!"

Xiaobai sighed with tears streaming down his face.

Hearing this, I suddenly became alert. Didn’t I know about the existence of “Dark Moon”?

But I remained nonchalant and jokingly said, "How can you be so sure that I'm a god?"

"Of course I know! Even before I became like this, I knew that God existed in this world. I could sometimes feel it. Since I became like this, this feeling has become even stronger."

He paused, looked at me cautiously, and quickly lowered his head: "I can feel that you have the power and breath of God."

It’s not surprising that he feels this way. After all, I did absorb some of Gali’s power.

However, the fact that he said he was a wolf in the past did arouse my interest, so I simply followed up with the question.

"You mean, when you were a wolf?"

Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, we are sometimes forced to migrate because the range of human activities is too large. During the migration, we occasionally feel the presence of God on the road. This is a basic skill for every member of the family."

"As an excellent alpha wolf, I must have strong judgment!"

Hearing this, I was lost in thought. Xiaobai used to be the leader of the pack, which meant he had a family, but I only saw him now, and the information in the Investigation Bureau did not indicate that the "Night Shadow Wolf" had a tribe.

"Is your tribe the same as you?" I asked.

Hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes darkened, and he replied sullenly: "No, it's different. I became like this later."

It seems that he is the only one who has mutated. Moreover, after the end of the world, the fate of ordinary wolves or other animals and plants is not difficult to guess. Like humans, they will either mutate or die. Only a few can evolve into advanced abnormal units.

And what he said is not completely unbelievable. Although I am not an animal, I have indeed heard sayings like "animals have a more accurate sixth sense" and "animals can communicate with spirits".

Moreover, before natural disasters in the past, animals were generally the first to react, which indirectly confirms the previous statements.

However, what surprised me was that Tiannan City is not located in the northwest at all. Although the forest coverage rate is quite good, are there really wolves there?

On second thought, Xiaobai is an abnormal unit and cannot be confused with ordinary animals. Moreover, he has been captured and taken in by the Investigation Bureau. Thinking this way, it suddenly seems reasonable.

Moreover, after listening to Xiaobai's words, a new idea suddenly came to my mind.

As an animal, Xiaobai has excellent perception, and he can also sense the existence of God. So can I use this characteristic of his to sense other gods?

"Xiaobai, how many gods do you think there are here?"

Xiaobai tilted his head, seemingly not understanding why I asked this question, but still answered honestly:

"I'm not sure, but there are obviously two."

"Two?" I raised my eyebrows slightly.

"Well, it's obvious. One is you, and the other one is somewhere I can't quite place, but He is always there."

I nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. If what Xiaobai said was true, then it meant that "Dark Moon" was indeed not here.

At that time, and still now, I cannot rule out the possibility that he was acting to deceive me. The "Dark Night Shadow Wolf" has an extremely high IQ and first-class learning ability. I cannot help but believe it, but I cannot believe it completely either.

Regardless, the meatball had to be dealt with first, but it was already midnight, and if the previous rules still applied, it would be best not to go out now.

I was feeling a little sleepy, so I slumped down in my office chair and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

However, not long after I closed my eyes, a starry sky suddenly appeared in my mind. In this ocean of stars, there was an area that was particularly bright.

In the ocean of consciousness, I imagined myself opening my palm, and a small galaxy appeared in my palm.

With a light touch, the galaxy in the palm of your hand suddenly appeared like a holographic projection.

The picture shows a piece of broken walls and ruins. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be the quarry of Xinyan City.

The quarry is the territory of the Black Dragon Gang. Although it was not advanced before, the entire quarry was still relatively safe, but now it looks like it has been bombarded.

It looks like there is really a problem in Xinyan City.

The person in the picture was hiding in the corner of the basement where Song Nanxing and I were imprisoned, praying quietly:

"I pray to the gods, praying that the gods favored by the clouds and thunder will cast their eyes on me and listen to my prayers. I will offer my loyalty..."

This is the prayer I projected to the Black Dragon Gang members through dreams. I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be so useful.

As one of the first believers to connect with me, I am still willing to respond.

Since he has prayed, he is connected to me. Even without dream projection, I can directly create illusions for him.

So, I created a shadow of myself after I became abnormal.

After seeing the vague shadow, the person praying became visibly agitated, kowtowed repeatedly, and said with tears in his eyes:

"I beg the gods to save me and take me away from here, even if it means hell!"

I frowned. What on earth had happened in Xinyan City? I had only been away for less than a day, so how could there have been such drastic changes?

It seems I have to go back.

I opened my eyes and stood up from my office chair.

Xiaobai, who was standing beside me, was awakened by my movements. He glanced at me and asked, "Master?"

I didn't look at him. I just walked to a smooth reflective glass and said:

"I have to go somewhere now. It might be very dangerous. If you are scared, you can wait for me here."

When Xiaobai heard what I said, he was stunned at first, then hesitated for a few seconds.

I knew what he meant, so I didn't say anything more. I opened the illusory passage connected by the mirror and stepped directly in.

The next second, Xiaobai followed in.

"What? Changed your mind?"

Xiaobai has now turned back into a wolf. He didn't say anything, but his actions have already revealed his choice.

In this way, I took Xiaobai all the way through the mirror flash and shuttled between fantasy and reality.

When I arrived at the border between Tiannan City and Xinyan City, my heart suddenly panicked, as if an irresistible force was pressing on my heart.

Could it be another evil god?

But it seemed a little different. This feeling of oppression was not like the chaos and discomfort that came with the evil god. This discomfort seemed more like a natural state that could not be violated.

I paused for a moment, exhaled lightly, and continued to use the mirror to jump into Xinyan City.

However, as soon as I stepped out of the mirror, I was shaken by a strong jolt and almost fell off my feet.

What the hell? An earthquake?

Before I could figure out the current situation, I saw a crack on the ground extending directly towards me.

The high-rise buildings that were already shaky could no longer hold on and collapsed directly.

I moved with it, stepping directly on the collapsed concrete slabs and jumping back and forth among them.

But the whole building was collapsing, there was no stable place to stand, and there was no safe place to stay nearby.

Just as I was frowning and thinking, I suddenly heard a wolf howling. I turned around and saw Xiaobai running towards me on the fallen stone slabs.

I immediately understood, jumped, turned over and rode on his back, and then he was floating in the air.

"Can you still fly?"

Xiaobai nodded with some pride.

Only then did I have time to see what was happening around me.

At this moment, the earth seemed to come alive, the soil began to flow, I saw wrinkles on the ground like waves, and I could hear roars coming from underground.

The roar sounded like the sound of geological fractures and collisions, and also like the cries of countless wronged souls.

The ground continued to crack and split, forming deep ravines, but in a moment, the cracks suddenly closed again and everything returned to calm.

The ground that had just been torn into pieces now had no cracks at all, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.

But I could still hear faint growls and whimpers coming from underground, very deep and very far away, as if coming from hell.

Xiaobai growled at the ground and subconsciously wanted to escape.

This is no wonder. The current situation looks a bit like an earthquake, but the faint crying sounds coming from underground seem to indicate that this is not just an earthquake.

I rolled over and went down, turning back and shouting to Xiaobai, "Find a safe place to hide first. If that doesn't work, go back to where we came from."

As I said that, I turned around, roughly identified the direction of the Black Dragon Gang's stronghold, and prepared to use mirror jump.

However, as soon as I turned around, I saw a dark shadow passing by.

It’s Xiaobai.

I looked at him and said with a smile, "You chose this yourself."

Then I jumped into the virtual world and said to him without looking back, "Let's go! Let's go together!"

After saying that, the two figures, a man and a wolf, disappeared out of thin air in this area.

When we stepped into the real world again, we were very close to the quarry.

However, there seemed to be nothing reflective in the quarry, so we had to walk the rest of the way.

Fortunately, Xiaobai and I were both pretty fast, so we arrived at the destination quickly.

Half of the quarry had been swallowed by the earth. Some human hands could still be seen sticking out from the ground, but they were lifeless.

I frowned. Are there really any survivors here?

"Xiaobai! See if there's anyone alive!"

I gave Xiaobai instructions and used the authority of the virtual realm to create a mirror world to replace this area.

The rules of the world in the mirror are all made by me, so as long as I don’t want it to, the earthquake-like situation just now will not happen.

Xiaobai was searching hard in the area I replaced, like a search and rescue dog.

After a while, he actually dug out a few.

But there are only a few.

"Is that all?"

Xiaobai nodded and came back to me.

I took a look at the people lying on the ground. There were only a few members of the Black Dragon Gang left, and now most of them were dead.

The remaining few people were also dying.

I sighed silently. I was still a step too late, but I didn't have too much psychological burden. There was no need to think about things that I had already tried my best. The most urgent thing now was to quickly rescue the survivors.

We are currently in a virtual space, but saving people requires entities. Fortunately, I can convert virtual objects into reality to a certain extent.

But this requires not only authority, but also some of my own strength.

Well, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to turn fantasy into reality, you do have to pay a certain price.

Without hesitation, I directly materialized some medical equipment and food supplies and treated their injuries one by one.

Although I am not good at medical treatment, I have fought countless times and it is inevitable that I will get injured. Some simple external injuries can still be treated.

Of course, I can also directly materialize a few real doctors, but materializing living creatures is very laborious. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to do it myself.

"Give them some water." I said to Xiaobai.

After hearing my instructions, Xiaobai turned into a human again and fed them water one by one.

However, this scene is still a bit eye-catching. I touched Xiaobai silently and conjured up a set of clothes.

Well, that looks much better.

In this way, one of us was responsible for bandaging the wound, and the other wolf was responsible for feeding water. We cooperated with each other to complete the initial rescue work.

In this virtual space, I can temporarily steal their sense of pain, and I think this should be beneficial for their recovery.

Then I fed everyone some of the liquid food that had just materialized.

And the scene was replaced, turning the entire ruins into a temple.
