"But there's still a problem. There's more than just one heretic. There might be three more as powerful as Yinhua."

"Behemoth will most likely call upon his friends. If we then face multiple heretics at once, will we still have a chance of victory?"

Green asked again.

"The odds of winning aren't high. So, you, the commander who often performs miracles, do you have any good plans? Don't tell me you don't have any ideas."

Yinhua glanced at him, snorted, and said.

Green poked the notebook lightly with the tip of his pen, putting a period on his little plan: "My plan is simple: one more friend, one less enemy."

"Behemoth's current purpose in staying in the Crystal Region is firstly to build infrastructure, and secondly to snatch Cinderella. She is very determined to turn Cinderella into a heretic again and become her companion."

"But if we awaken Cinderella first, according to Gravey, she will probably help us fight Behemoth and the others."

"Cinderella, or rather, Anakiole... I asked Shefti before, and the Ark has no information about her at all. It's as if someone deliberately erased it, leaving only a brief introduction."

"But according to what I've heard from some pilgrims, Cinderella's strength is terrifying. Not only can she fly, but her body's hardness is unparalleled. Because she was once a heretic, she also possesses the heretic's immortality. If we can awaken her, the scales of victory will tilt towards our side."

"is it?"

After hearing his plan, Yinhua frowned. "But how can you guarantee that Cinderella will side with the humans? What if she's already had a mental breakdown, or has already sided with Letcher? Wouldn't that put us in a huge mess?"

"Trust Gravey."

"Someone as stubborn as her shouldn't lie."

Green turned the pen slightly and replied.

"But you have to understand that it is often the stubborn who believe in lies."

Yinhua stood up, patted his shoulders twice, and then said, "You are a person who can create miracles and have many wonderful ideas. If this is your judgment, I will believe you."

"I'm going to go see how the arsenal at your base is going. Anyway, see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye, Yinhua."

Green closed his booklet, said hello to Emma and Bestie beside him, and then walked towards a corner of the base.

It's almost dusk.

At sunset, in a corner of the residence that Nikki and the others usually didn't visit, Green pushed open the door and walked into the already decorated restaurant. He took a small can of tea and a bottle of wine from the drawer, poured each, and then waited for the unexpected guest to arrive.

After a while.

Sure enough, a figure appeared stealthily behind him.

"Yo."

"Handsome guy, I haven't seen you for two days. I dressed up carefully for today's date."

The one who came was none other than Behemoth.

Green glanced sideways.

Just as Behemoth had said, she was dressed up today, even changing into an elegant black evening gown. The thigh-high slit was sexy and hot, and her black high heels complemented her slender legs wrapped in black stockings, giving Behemoth a certain femininity. While it was unknown where she had gotten the dress, considering heretics had the ability to conjure up clothes at any time, there was no need to dwell on it.

"Date..."

"Behemoth, in human society, dating is only when a man and a woman like each other are together. We're not at that stage yet."

Green glanced at her and gestured calmly for her to sit down.

"Yeah, to be honest, I'm a little nervous."

"This is the first time I've had dinner with someone I've just met."

"By the way, I didn't expect you to actually set up a table and prepare drinks waiting for me here. I thought I would be shot in the head with a few guns as soon as I walked in."

Behemoth smiled and sat down, supporting her chin with her slender fingers painted with black nail polish, staring at the handsome man across the table with excitement.

Although saying this may be a bit of an exaggeration for the two of them.

But this may be the first formal dialogue between heretics and humans in history, and Nikki, who was corrupted into a heretic, is naturally not included.

Green took a sip of his coffee and said, "To be honest, I never thought you'd let us go. After all, from what I know about heretics, every one of them is difficult to communicate with, has a strange personality, and treats human life like worthless."

"But you are special, different from the heretics I know."

"So, I decided to respond to you, even at the risk of exposing my own base."

"As you said, dialogue is the basis of evolution."

"Let's talk, Behemoth."

"But before we start chatting, would you like some tea or some wine?"

Green launched the tea and wine bottles.

Behemoth stared at the drink in front of him, his eyes lighting up.

"Tea... I've seen similar plants on the ground, and I've also read in books that people seem to like drinking a kind of tea called milk tea."

“Is it really that delicious?”

"Of course. This is a drink that has been passed down for thousands of years. In modern times, after layers of industrial improvements, milk tea has long become a popular drink throughout the Ark... Of course, because there are not many tea trees on the Ark, real milk tea is very expensive."

Green explained with a smile, then picked up the tea can and a cup of milk, and mixed her a cup of milk tea with hot water: "Please."

356

Chapter 356: Crabs and Crab Roe.

"Then I won't be polite."

Behemoth carefully raised the cup and took a sip.

But it is not as delicious as I imagined. The feeling lingering on my lips and teeth is a bit bitter.

"How does it feel?"

“It’s not as good as I thought…”

Behemoth put down the cup with a slightly depressed look.

"It's normal that it doesn't taste good, because this is not a regular industrial product. It's just some milk tea I hastily mixed. If you have the chance in the future, come here again. By then, this place will be prosperous."

Green smiled and spoke casually.

"Haha, really? I have to say, your settlement is truly beautifully built. After seeing so many ruins on the surface, suddenly seeing such clean and tidy streets feels like I've suddenly stepped into another world. How on earth did humans manage to build such beautiful buildings?"

Behemoth grinned.

"Of course it's because of civilization and order."

Green put down his coffee cup and said, "Although humans have many shortcomings and are not perfect creatures, compared to Letcher, who only knows how to destroy, we humans still have a strong sense of rules."

"However, much of the hard work of human civilization has been lost. The ancient kingdoms that once existed on earth have long since collapsed. Even if you want to explore history, you will only find ruins in the end."

Behemoth: "Now that you mention it, Letcher is indeed quite abominable."

Green: "As a heretic, shouldn't you be speaking for your own kind? Why are you criticizing Letcher for me?"

Behemoth chuckled and said, "Although theoretically we and Letcher are on the same side, humans don't classify themselves as animals like monkeys and baboons, right? Therefore, we view Letchers the same way you view these animals: we can tame them, we can slaughter them, and even use them as nutrients when they are injured."

"So that's it."

"That's really interesting information."

"Let's have a drink."

Green took a glass and poured it for Behemoth. He then pushed it in front of her and said, "Because of your special status, there's no place to cook for you here. If you're hungry, I'm sorry, I think we can only have a simple meal."

"Too polite."

"By the way, what kind of drink is this? It smells a bit pungent."

"Alcohol is a drink that adults use to get drunk. If you drink too much, it will stimulate your brain and make you dizzy and confused."

"Oh, this is the wine mentioned in the book..."

Behemoth raised the goblet.

Being very curious about everything human, she naturally wanted to try all new things.

After all, this was her first time being invited, and she couldn't miss this good opportunity.

“Gu~Hu…”

Behemoth is not polite either.

She raised the goblet and drank the red wine in one gulp.

After tasting it, she even licked her lips with satisfaction: "It's surprisingly good... What is it made of?"

Green smiled and said, "Fruits, grains, a little bacteria and love."

"Then the tea tasting ends here, Behemoth."

"Now is the time for free discussion. You can ask me questions, but in return, you also have to answer some of the questions I raise."

"Oh, sure, but do we have to be so formal?"

Behemoth scratched his hair and said in surprise, "Shouldn't we have a candlelight dinner or something like that? Hey, don't look at me like that. It's just what's written in the book."

"..."

"What kind of books do you usually read?"

"I read everything. It's just too boring down here. Apart from my friends, I don't see any other faces every day. I can only rely on some casual reading to pass the time. But my favorite is still novels. I once found a novel with pictures in the ruins, and I was so engrossed in it that I ran out of pages before I finished it, and I couldn't find the next volume. I couldn't sleep well for a few days."

Behemoth couldn't help laughing when she talked about her story of tossing and turning because of the novel.

"I used to be obsessed with novels, but now I'm so busy with work that I basically don't have the time."

Green glanced at Behemoth's evening gown and suddenly changed the subject: "Your dress is quite nice."

"Thanks for the compliment. I made this dress based on some illustrations in magazines. It should be pretty good, right?"

"From a man's aesthetic point of view, I'd give it 94 points."

"Eh? What about the remaining 6 points?"

"It's all about the little details, like the black nails, the overly sharp nails, and the inexplicable tattoo on your lower abdomen... Well, I have a question, why did you get that weird tattoo on your abdomen?"

Green stared at the area below Behemoth's abdomen for a few seconds.

It's not like he hasn't seen unrestrained women before, but this is the first time he has seen a woman with a tattoo that looks like silver patterns on her body.

"Hmm? This one?"

"I got it because everyone said it looked good. I can't help it. We don't understand human aesthetics, so of course I just copy whatever good-looking magazines I see."

Behemoth smiled innocently and pointed at the tattoo on his lower abdomen as he explained.

"Are you reading serious magazines?"

The corner of Green's mouth twitched slightly.

He asked why Behemoth dressed like a little gangster before.

She painted her nails black, pierced her ears, and even did some smoky eye makeup around her eyes.

Are those fashion magazines that you Four Beasts read really serious?

"Haha."

"So that's not a serious magazine."

"But I think you should like my look too?"

"Indeed, when it comes to fashion, it's undeniable that you all make a very impactful first impression."

In response to Behemoth's question, Green gave a noncommittal answer.

"Really? I'll tell you."

"Haha~ It's really nice chatting with you. Last time I went to the Garden of Eden and said hello to the people there, but they all got so nervous. I was just going there to say hello and get to know them, so why did it end up being so unpleasant?"

Behemoth recalled his previous experience of strolling around the Garden of Eden, and it could only be said that it was not a very pleasant experience.

"A heretic went to greet the humans and Nikki at their base. We have a proverb here to explain your behavior: a weasel visiting a chicken with a New Year's greeting has no good intentions."

Green quipped, "Even if you want to chat, you have to be clear about your position. Places like the Garden of Eden are already being merciful enough by not opening fire on you right away."

The small talk continues.
