Chapter 453 I am a priest
“In other words, Changhe Base has been out to suppress our Twilight Church?”
Wang Tao asked without changing his expression.
“To be precise, they are not only sieging our church, but those who find other survivors outside will also be hunted down!”
…”
Hey guys, Wang Tao is completely speechless.
The fact fabricated by the Twilight Church was even more outrageous than he imagined. He originally thought that "Changhe Base encircled and suppressed the Twilight Church" was outrageous. After all, the Twilight Church had not yet been exposed at that time.
But I didn’t expect that it turned out to be “Changhe Base encircling and suppressing the so-called non-base humans”… Then this is even more impossible!
Because there are clear regulations in the base, if survivors are found outside, as long as they are not infected by zombie viruses and have low impurities in their bodies, they can be brought back, and the base will give large rewards.
Wang Tao and the others were trapped in Zijing City before. After the base contacted them, they sent people directly to rescue them!
So there is no encirclement and suppression! Base people are not fools. At this time, internal strife is the worst behavior...
These people also said that they were forced to join the Twilight Church before the heavy snowfall, because the Twilight Church promised to give them shelter, and said that there were undercovers from the church in the base, and if anyone was chasing them, the undercovers would notify them in advance. And since they joined the church, they have indeed not seen any pursuit, so they believe the words of the Dusk Church even more...
If the Twilight Church can really inspire so many survivors to join the Twilight Church and hate the Changhe Base, then they will definitely launch an attack on the base after their strength has accumulated to a certain level.
“You seem to be in good physical condition. What’s going on?”
He didn’t mince words and asked directly:
What they said about being forced to do nothing was just hearsay - today they heard about survivors being killed, and tomorrow they heard about survivors being killed. It was as if all the survivors around them had been killed. They were so panicked that just at this time, people from the Dusk Church appeared, and they joined the Dusk Church.
Then all this is explained. No wonder the priest asked a lot of common sense questions. It must be because it is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world in the base, so it is normal for the information to be blocked!
Wang Tao didn’t know how many survivors there were outside Changhe Base, but he estimated that there were quite a few. After all, humans are very tenacious.
These medicines are different from those in the base. They take them every day, and there is no negative status such as poisoning on the blood bar. But Wang Tao didn't believe that the Dusk Church would be so kind. After all, this medicine can improve physical fitness. Wang Tao has never encountered many good things that can improve physical fitness... He felt that drinking this medicine must cost something!
But really speaking, these medicines can be regarded as saving the lives of these people.
Wang Tao shook his head directly.
It's a pity that these people don't know where the Twilight Church's home is, otherwise Wang Tao would destroy it now.
However, Wang Tao asked Xiang Hongbin to bring some noodles, dried meat and other food and handed them to them.
When it comes to the church base, these people’s eyes are bright.
Wang Tao still has a few questions to figure out. One is where their so-called holy medicines come from. Another thing is, they are obviously ordinary people with 1000 blood, why are their physical fitness so strong...
After the heavy snow, the temperature outside was too low, and stronger frozen zombies appeared, so they could no longer go out to find food.
These people quickly explained. After listening, Wang Tao was speechless.
All of this was directed and staged by the Church of Dusk, but unfortunately the people at Changhe Base didn't know about this, so they couldn't expose the scam. Maybe there are smart people who have seen through all this, but when the strength does not match, no one dares to say more...
A few people’s eyes widened instantly, and the teenage boy’s mouth was about to drool.
Apparently the people from Changhe Base drew some more cakes for them.
“Well, we also found that we seem to have become stronger. It should be because we drank the holy medicine..."
Hearing is false, seeing is believing... Everyone knows this truth, but when something really happens around you, you may panic and be easily taken advantage of.
Wang Tao asked again.
Several people answered quickly.
If we only attack from the outside, the base will not be afraid. But if there is a pincer attack from inside and outside, and cooperation from inside and outside... Wang Tao is a little lucky. Fortunately, he accidentally destroyed the Twilight Church in the base, otherwise there might really be a crisis in the base!
“Have you been to our church?”
After they left with the church people, the news that the survivors were killed immediately disappeared, and they seemed to be really safe...
These people were a little disappointed when they saw Wang Tao refused, but they did not dare to say anything more. And when Wang Tao just mentioned "mission", they suddenly thought, could this priest be the undercover agent of the church in the base?
Wang Tao asked again.
These medicines were provided free of charge by the deacon who first deceived them, and their physical fitness was also improved because of these medicines.
This Twilight Church is obviously like this. It deliberately creates false news for these people and brings them a sense of tension, and then says that as long as they join the church, the church can protect them. In this "critical moment", they obviously regard the church as Become the savior...
"Wait a minute, you just said that you were forced to join? Why were you forced to join?"
“Master Priest, it’s like this…”
It is said to be free, but there is no free lunch in the world. After drinking these medicines, they must obey the orders of the church unconditionally.
Wang Tao winked, and Han Rui and the others immediately took a portion of these medicines and asked Qu Shilin to study them when they returned to see if they could find anything.
"No, we are not qualified yet. They said that when we are qualified, they will take us back to the base. We don't know where the base is. Sir Priest, can you..."
Wang Tao didn’t know that his identity suddenly became reasonable. It didn’t matter whether it was reasonable or not. Anyway, these people were not core members of the church, they didn’t know much, and they didn’t dare to doubt his identity.
“Give, give to us?”
Wang Tao suddenly spoke.
“No, I have my mission.”
These medicines are not all soup, but slimy things that can be eaten to keep you full. They rely on these medicines to survive to this day.
“This is all provided to us free of charge by a deacon...”
These people saw that the food they depended on for survival was taken away, and they subconsciously moved their mouths, but they did not dare to say anything.
“Where did you get these holy medicines?”
After some questioning, Wang Tao roughly understood what was going on.
When was the last time they had serious food like this?
It seems like it’s still before the end of the world!
“Eat what’s given to you. But I suggest you eat sparingly. After all, no one knows when this snow will end.”
"understand!"
Several people quickly took the food. They tore a small piece of bread and gave it to the child. They did not eat it themselves, but wrapped the food in cloth and prepared to eat it in the evening.
Waiting for several people to carefully preserve the food, Wang Tao said:
“Is this Zhan Xing with you?”
Zhan Xing was knocked unconscious by Wang Tao's mental power and is still awake. Since he was injured before and only had half health, even though Wang Tao had withdrawn his strength, he still only had a trace of blood left. If Wang Tao didn't save him, he would definitely not survive tonight.
"Yes, we knew each other before the end of the world. We escaped together, were rejected by the Changhe Base, and then joined the church together... Zhan Xing offended the priest, and he brought it upon himself. But, but he shouldn't die..." Several people looked at Wang Tao with great anxiety.
Zhan Xing is the most powerful person among them. Unfortunately, he was attacked by a large number of zombies when he went out. Although he was not infected, he was seriously injured. If Zhan Xing dies, it will be even more difficult for them to survive this winter.
Hearing what they said about being rejected by Changhe Base, Wang Tao sighed in his heart.
The reason why the Twilight Church can instigate their hatred towards the Changhe Base must be related to this matter - the impurities in their bodies are too high, which is equivalent to a time bomb. The base will not let such people in, so they will naturally hold a grudge. .
But there is nothing we can do about it. The base’s top management is responsible for the 500,000 survivors...
“He will not die.”
Wang Tao turned to look at Lan Yulian, who immediately stepped forward to treat Zhan Xing.
brush-
Zhan Xing's blood volume increased rapidly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He was still a little confused, so the survivors immediately ran over and quickly explained to him what had happened.
“Sir Priest, I’m sorry!”
After Zhan Xing regained consciousness, he immediately apologized.
Wang Tao could feel that Zhan Xing did not doubt his identity. They probably did not expect that someone would pretend to be a priest.
"Um."
Wang Tao nodded, and then asked Lan Yulian to heal all of them.
These people's blood volume is not full and they are in a sub-healthy state. After being filled up with blood by Lan Yulian, everyone was extremely excited. This feeling of having full blood volume was so good, they all had the illusion that they could fight the frozen zombies alone.
“Then take care of yourself, we’re leaving.”
Wang Tao waved and led everyone out of the basement.
Those people seemed a little reluctant to part with them. After all, they hadn’t seen other people for a long time, especially since they were “one of their own.”
“Priest, please be careful! I hope your mission goes well!”
Wang Tao waved his hand, and then the group of them disappeared from the sight of this group of people.
“It is said that the top leaders of the church are very mysterious and not easy to talk to. I don’t think so. This priest is very good!”
“That’s right! This priest is so approachable...”
“I didn’t expect that we couldn’t even see the deacon before, but today we saw the priest! Moreover, the priest gave us so much food and treated us... What a good person!”
“Fortunately, the priest is kind-hearted and did not kill us directly. Otherwise, we would have been accused of bumping into the priest, and no one would be able to answer our questions..."
“I hope I will have the opportunity to see this priest again in the future...”
…
“Won’t you kill them?”
On the way back, Qu Shilin couldn't hold it in any longer. She came to Wang Tao and asked in a low voice.
She knows these people are pitiful, and she is not a murderer, but she is a rational person.
The Church of Dusk may cause some trouble to the base in the future. In this case, it would be most appropriate to eliminate the roots, right? Wang Tao let them go and gave them treatment and food. This was wrong...
Facing Qu Shilin’s doubts, Wang Tao suddenly smiled:
"What's the use of killing them? The outside world is so big, who knows how many people from the Church of Dusk are hiding? I can kill these few people, but can I still kill everyone? It's obviously impossible. But If you keep them, they might be of great use..."
“What’s the use of keeping them?”
Qu Shilin still doesn’t understand.
"Then let me ask you, in what capacity did I just talk to them?"
Wang Tao put away the priest's badge on his chest.
“Is a priest of the church…”
Seeing this badge, Qu Shilin seemed to have grasped something.
"Yes, I am a priest of the Twilight Church. Although my identity is fake, when I meet people from the Twilight Church in the future, I will still have this identity as a priest. As long as there are enough people who believe in me, the fake identity will change. It’s true! I can even say that I am the orthodox of the Twilight Church, and that bishop is a fake!”
"ah?"
Qu Shilin didn’t expect Wang Tao to think this way, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable—no, there’s another problem!
Qu Shilin quickly said:
“But the bishop of that church should know the identities of all the priests. If he confronts you and provides evidence, wouldn’t you expose your secret?”
"Ha ha!"
Hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly laughed.
“He dares to come and confront me? If he dares to come, I dare to kill him! If he kills him, I will be the new bishop!”
Wang Tao just didn’t know where the church’s home base was, otherwise he would have gone there to retrieve it. What kind of bishop, Wang Tao is not afraid of him.
…”
Qu Shilin opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
What Wang Tao said...seems like there's really nothing wrong with it!
The Dusk Church’s advantage is concealment, while Wang Tao’s advantage is strength! She doesn't believe that any bishop is as powerful as Wang Tao. As long as he dares to come out and face Wang Tao directly, he will definitely die!
Thinking of this, Qu Shilin suddenly felt a little hopeful. Why?
She really wanted to see the scene where the bishop "failed to win again and again, and said he could not win"...
“By the way, I just took some of those holy medicines. Go back and study them, compare them with the holy medicines in our base, and see what the difference is... I feel that this should also have side effects, but I can’t tell it for the time being..."
“No problem, this is my responsibility!”
“Okay, let’s go and train the Night Demon to avoid something unexpected happening over time.”
Wang Tao and his group got in the car and drove to the building where the Night Demon's lair was.
