Chapter 585: Purple Bamboo Base

"What happened to these people?"

Wang Tao watched in all directions and could see the eyes of these people looking at him gradually becoming fanatical, which made him a little confused.

"Could it be that I saved their lives? But I'm grateful, so it's not like this look..."

Their eyes... were like seeing gods!

The base of Zhao Yaru and others was not far from the location of the giant zombie, and the golden eagle flew there in just one minute.

To the naked eye, it looks like an abandoned park down there, and it doesn't look like it's inhabited.

"There is an air raid shelter down here. Our Zizhu base is here..."

Zhao Yaru explained quickly.

"Zizhu Base?"

"This park is called Zizhu Park. We named it after the park..."

Wang Tao nodded.

The underground bomb shelter is indeed a good place, both warm and safe. Especially the current low temperature outside is unbearable for people to live in. It is estimated that many survivors in the apocalypse will live underground.

call--

The golden eagle slowly landed in the park, accidentally knocking over several pine trees.

"Go down."

Wang Tao waved his hand, and everyone quickly helped the golden eagle down.

Seeing such a huge creature obediently letting them go down, everyone was still a little unbelievable. After all, this was a terrifying fifth-level mutant beast!

"Go and play by yourself."

Wang Tao handed the golden eagle a lot of nutrient solution.

The underground space is too small, so the golden eagle cannot enter. Considering that the outside is relatively desolate and difficult to catch prey, the golden eagle can only be allowed to eat nutrient solution.

"Chirp~"

The golden eagle responded, flapped its wings and took off. Zhao Yaru and others were shaken a bit by the blow, but they were not dissatisfied at all. Instead, they said goodbye to the golden eagle very respectfully.

After the golden eagle left, Zhao Yaru quickly said to Wang Tao:

"Sir, I will take you to Zizhu Base!"

"Um."

Wang Tao nodded.

The entrance to Zizhu Base is much more obvious than the previous Dahai Base. It has a bulge similar to the entrance of a subway station, but with a thick steel door.

When he was in the air, Wang Tao didn't see it due to the angle. Now that he was down, he could see the entrance to the base at a glance.

"Open the door! We are back!" Zhao Yaru came to the entrance of the base and shouted several times at one point. Then she explained to Wang Tao, "The people inside can hear us from here."

After a while, the window on the base door opened, and several pairs of eyes appeared inside. After making sure there was no problem with the people outside, they opened the door.

Rumble——

"Sister Zhao, where is the priest? Why do you have so few people back?"

After the door opened, the people inside were a little confused.

"Dead. Everyone who didn't come back is dead."

Zhao Yaru whispered.

"ah?"

The people inside were stunned for a moment, and then they felt like the sky was falling.

The priest is dead, but he is the strongest person in the base! The priests are all dead, so what should they do?

These people didn't even notice that there was an extra person or dog in the team.

"Master Priest, please come in!"

Zhao Yaru quickly moved out of the way to let Wang Tao advance.

"This is……"

Only then did the people inside discover Wang Tao, a stranger.

They were about to ask who Wang Tao was, but when they saw the senior priest badge on Wang Tao's body, they immediately shut up.

This is a strange senior priest!

Our priest is gone, and a strange senior priest suddenly came... Could it be the new leader sent by the bishop? But we haven’t contacted the Bishop for a long time. How did he know...

Ignoring these people's surprise, Zhao Yaru and his party respectfully led Wang Tao in.

Going all the way down, we soon came to a hall. The lights in the hall were dim, but we could still clearly see that there was a huge sculpture in the middle of the hall. The shape of the sculpture was an auspicious cloud and half a sun. Like the sunset at dusk.

There were many people in the hall. Seeing Zhao Yaru and others coming back, they all looked over expectantly. After seeing Wang Tao, a tall stranger, they were all surprised. After seeing the senior priest badge on Wang Tao's body, , his eyes suddenly widened again. They didn’t understand why there was an extra priest. Where was their original priest?

Wang Tao was also a little surprised after seeing these people.

These people actually have the symbols of the Church of Dusk on their bodies!

"Are all the people in your base from the Church of Dusk?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

"Yes, we are all believers of the Dusk Church!"

Zhao Yaru and others responded immediately.

"..."

This was the first time that Wang Tao saw that the entire base was filled with people from the Twilight Church. The Twilight Church he had seen before, no matter which base it was in, was basically a existence that everyone shouted to fight... How could there be such a situation where the entire base was composed of people from the Twilight Church, let alone the people in this base? With a population of more than 10,000, it is no longer a small base...

When Zhao Yaru mentioned the words "Twilight Church believers", these people's eyes glowed with hot light, and they even wanted to kneel in front of the sculpture in the center of the hall, regardless of whether they were seriously injured.

When Wang Tao saw this, he waved his hand and said:

"You all go to treatment first, otherwise you will die."

Zhao Yaru nodded immediately after hearing this:

"Yes, yes, you go for treatment first. You also have to deal with the aftermath of this large number of deaths... Just let me accompany the priest!"

"OK……"

These people actually didn't want to leave, but this was what Wang Tao said personally. They had no choice but to leave, but when they left, they watched Wang Tao turn around every step of the way, which made Wang Tao confused.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yaru.

"You are the 'blessing of dusk', they don't want to be too far away from you..."

Zhao Yaru lowered his head and said respectfully.

"The blessing of dusk? What the hell?"

Wang Tao was even more confused.

Zhao Yaru didn't hide anything and quickly explained what happened before.

It was "They were on the verge of despair, and most of them gave up resistance. Only Zhao Yaru said that they had the blessing of Dusk and could not give up. Others did not believe it, but in the end they were really saved, and the person who saved them was the senior priest of Dusk Church." .

All this is so coincidental that one has to believe that there really is a "blessing of dusk"!

Originally, Zhao Yaru herself didn't believe in the blessing of dusk, she just wanted to cheer everyone up. But now that she has witnessed the miracle with her own eyes, she is already the most loyal believer of the Twilight Church and a fanatical admirer of Wang Tao. They all felt that Wang Tao was the person sent by Dusk to save them.

After hearing Zhao Yaru's explanation, Wang Tao felt dumbfounded.

No wonder these people looked at me with strange eyes... This was indeed a coincidence.

Wang Tao wanted to explain that he was not the "blessing of dusk", but after thinking about it, he didn't say much. After all, his current identity is the senior priest of the Church of Dusk. With the title of "Blessing of Dusk", he may be able to integrate better.

To be honest, Wang Tao is still a little afraid of the Twilight Church. After all, that bishop's ability is too strong. He can brainwash so many people in the last days, and he is still so far away... This is something that people have to admire. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win every battle. It is always a good idea to know more about the Twilight Church.

So, Wang Tao came to the sculpture in the middle of the hall.

"This is the 'twilight' of our faith... Our craftsmanship is a bit poor, please forgive me!"

Zhao Yaru explained with some embarrassment.

The belief of the Dusk Church is dusk. Wang Tao knows this, but the believers Wang Tao has seen before all worship toward the west at dusk. This is the first time Wang Tao has seen this kind of concrete carving of dusk.

"Not bad."

Wang Tao commented, then turned to Zhao Yaru and said:

"Tell me about your specific situation."

"Yes, please come with me!"

Zhao Yaru took Wang Tao to an empty conference room.

"please sit down."

Zhao Yaru asked Wang Tao to sit down, then stood aside very respectfully and began to explain slowly.

"We have a total of 12,038 people in Zizhu base..."

…

Zhao Yaru is one of the veterans of Zizhu Base. She was very lucky and found this place at the beginning of the end of the world. Then he and a group of people set up camp here.

Although their life was not very good, they managed to survive without any danger. It's just that the scale of the base has never been able to expand, and it also encountered a major crisis that almost wiped out the group.

It was during this crisis that they met the bishop of the Twilight Church.

The bishop gave them some supplies, helped them solve some troubles, and then began to preach.

As the saying goes, if you have breasts, you are a mother. The bishop has helped them so much, so they naturally started to believe in the Church of Dusk.

The bishop did not stay here long and left after preaching. He said he was going to other places to spread the Twilight Doctrine.

As he left, he appointed the priest. From then on, the base was managed by the priest.

At the beginning, Zhao Yaru and the others used radio to contact the bishop, but after the heavy snow came, communication was completely cut off. They also lost contact with the bishop and never saw each other again.

Although the bishop left, they also completely believed in the Twilight Church. The people who subsequently joined the Twilight Base were all believers of the Twilight Church.

Rather than saying this is a survivor base, it is better to say this is a branch of the Dusk Church.

They also encountered many dangers later on, but they never encountered the kind of big danger that could destroy the base. The base began to slowly grow.

Until now, Zizhu Base has twelve thousand survivors, all of whom are followers of the Dusk Church.

Most of these people are ordinary people, and a few are supernatural beings. As for the awakened ones, there are 22 in total. The strongest person here and their leader is the senior priest who was eaten by the giant zombies.

When they went out this time, all 22 awakened people went. It was a rare big operation, but only 11 people came back, and half of them died. The remaining half were seriously injured and temporarily incapable of fighting.

If Wang Tao hadn't saved them, the high-end combat power of Zizhu Base would have been wiped out in one wave, and it is estimated that it will not exist for long in the future...

As for why they provoked the giant zombies, Zhao Yaru said that it was because their leader, the priest, chose to provoke them. But really speaking, I can't blame the priest.

Because this giant zombie wandered over from somewhere else, and judging from the direction it was walking, there was a high probability that it would pass by their Zizhu base!

Before, there was a small base here, also underground. But I don’t know whether the base revealed a flaw or the giant zombie smelled the smell on them, and they were discovered by the giant zombie! The giant zombie turned everything upside down and caught and ate all the dozens of people in the small base!

All this was seen by the people in Zizhu Base. As the saying goes, the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn. They naturally worried that they would also be discovered and caught and eaten by the giant zombie.

So, the leader of Zizhu Base, Siduo, formulated two plans. One is to lead the giant zombie away, at least not let it go to Zizhu Base. The second is to kill the giant zombie!

The strength of the giant zombie is too terrifying. They are definitely unable to beat it, so they can only choose to lead the giant zombie away.

But after some efforts, they have no way to lead the giant zombie away except for a few people.

Fortunately, the giant zombie is not moving fast, and they still have time to think of other ways.

A few days ago, someone accidentally discovered a news that there is an underground granary here, which not only has a lot of food, but also has good security.

So the priest decided to find the granary first. It would be better if there was food in the granary, but it didn't matter if there was no food, as long as it was confirmed that people could live in it. If it was really habitable, he would transfer the people in Zizhu Base there, and wait until the giant zombie left, and then they would return to the air-raid shelter.

After some investigation in the ruined city, they roughly found the location of the granary. That location was just not on the route of the giant zombie!

So the priest decided to go there first, and after confirming that there was no problem, he began to lead people to move.

As a result, on the way, they accidentally discovered that the giant zombie and a mutant beast were fighting!

Although the size of the mutant beast was not comparable to that of the giant zombie, it was very flexible, and the giant zombie could not touch it at all. It seemed to be suppressing the giant zombie.

The giant zombie was beaten and fell several times, as if he could not resist at all, and looked very miserable. However, the mutant beast was also injured, and did not kill it, but ran away first.

The priest felt that the opportunity had come. While the giant zombie was seriously injured and fell to the ground, they could kill the giant zombie!

Although others, including Zhao Yaru, felt that it was too dangerous, even if the giant zombie was injured, they could not deal with it. But the priest insisted on doing so, and the others had no choice but to go up.

As a result, the priest was the first to be eaten, and the others were almost wiped out...

Wang Tao suddenly realized that when he saw the giant zombie before, the giant zombie had only two-thirds of its health. He thought it was caused by Zhao Yaru and the others. He also wanted to say that this group of people was quite powerful and could cause damage to the fifth-level giant zombie at the fourth level... After a long time, it was the mutant beast's credit!

After Zhao Yaru finished explaining, she looked at Wang Tao respectfully with a hint of expectation:

"Priest, may I ask if you, the bishop, sent us to save us?"

"No." Wang Tao shook his head directly, and then said, "I was guided by 'Dusk'."

Zhao Yaru was not disappointed when she heard this, but became more excited.

"Then you are our new leader now! I believe everyone else will agree... Then may I ask the priest, what should we do next?"

"A new leader..."

Wang Tao frowned.

The believers of the Dusk Church here are different from those Wang Tao has seen before.

The Dusk Church he has seen before basically looks like a cult, and they are basically rats crossing the street, but the people here did not make Wang Tao feel uncomfortable. And the survivors here are not poisoned, as if they have not drunk the "holy medicine" of the Dusk Church? The impurities in their bodies are also normal...

It is not impossible to recruit them, but they must not be brought back to the Changhe base...

Seeing Wang Tao frowning, Zhao Yaru's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Does this priest look down on us?

With the strength of the master who can kill the fifth-level giant zombie, it seems that he really does not need us... What can we do!
