Chapter 587 We Are the Orthodox

"Take a look."

After reading it, Wang Tao handed the letter directly to Zhao Yaru.

"Uh... is this something we can read?"

This letter was left by the previous leader to the current leader. Zhao Yaru had just discussed with others to firmly support Wang Tao as their new leader, so they were not qualified to read these things.

"Take a look, you should know this."

Wang Tao explained.

Since he said so, the others were naturally not polite and immediately looked at the envelope. They were also very curious about what the old leader left for the new leader.

As a result, everyone was shocked when they saw it. They felt that their faith was collapsing.

"The bishop wants us to drink poison? To kill us?!"

"The leader helped us stop it? He didn't let us drink it!"

"The leader's wife and children died because of drinking poison..."

"Then what do we believe in now..."

"..."

They were saved by Wang Tao today and witnessed the "Blessing of Dusk" with their own eyes. They are no longer pious but fanatical about the Dusk Church.

But now they are told that the Twilight Church they believed in is a cult? The bishop who is admired by thousands of people is not a good thing?

At this moment, everyone's faith collapsed. They couldn't accept it, but the letter was indeed written by the leader...

But after all, they have experienced the end of the world, and their mentality is stronger than ordinary people. Regardless of whether their faith collapsed or not, the letter also said that the next leader should try not to trust other members of the Twilight Church!

The tone of the former leader's words was obviously directed at the people of Zizhu Base.

But now the problem is that there is another member of the Twilight Church around them-Wang Tao!

And Wang Tao had asked them before if they had drunk that black potion...

So... Wang Tao can't be trusted?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Tao, their expressions were a little confused and a little vigilant.

The former leader would definitely not harm them. They knew the former leader very well, especially the former leader hid the poison and didn't give it to them. There must be no problem with the former leader's character.

But Wang Tao didn't seem to have any intention to harm them! Wang Tao not only helped them kill the giant zombies, but also sent them back safely. If Wang Tao wanted to kill them, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

But the letter left by the former leader said that other members of the Twilight Church could not be trusted, and this letter was shown to them by Wang Tao...

Everyone felt that their brains were going to be messed up, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

...

After Wang Tao handed this piece of letter paper to Zhao Yaru, he looked at the other two pieces of letter paper.

There were three pieces of letter paper in this letter. The first one was written with the instructions of the former leader, and the second one was written with the formula of that kind of "holy medicine".

However, it also said that in this formula, except for the core materials that remain unchanged, other materials can be changed. The bishop has been studying the formula, and it is not known what stage he has studied now. So the holy medicine in each place may be a little different.

Wang Tao was naturally very interested in this formula. He found that the formula of this holy medicine was a mutant herb, which Wang Tao had never heard of, but there was a picture on it. Wang Tao looked at the picture and thought about it. He found that he seemed to have seen these mutant herbs before. But since these mutant herbs had no name, Wang Tao treated them as ordinary grass and didn't care... It's so cold outside now, and these mutant herbs are probably not available for the time being...

The formula says that this potion can improve people's physical fitness, but there will be some side effects, so it is recommended for ordinary believers. Those powerful believers, such as deacons, priests, etc., don't need to use it. This improvement in physical fitness is not very useful for them.

As for what the side effects are, the letter didn't say, only that the side effects are very small. In order to increase the probability of production in the end times, this side effect is acceptable.

"Does the bishop really not know how big the side effects are? Or is he deliberately deceiving?"

Wang Tao thinks it should be the latter.

The bishop has preached in many places, and many people have drunk this medicine. He can't be unaware of the side effects!

What makes Wang Tao a little confused is why the bishop does this? After all, it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to him?

If you say that the bishop wants to use medicine to control other believers, it's more reasonable. But these believers will die if they drink too much medicine!

If people die, what good can this do for the bishop?

Wang Tao couldn't figure it out, but he just needed to know that this bishop was not a good person. If he had the chance to meet him in the future, he must take him down and ask him what he was going to do.

As for the formula of the potion, Wang Tao accepted it. He asked Qu Shilin to study it later to see if he could find anything.

After Wang Tao put away the formula, he looked at the last piece of letter paper.

On this piece of letter paper was a simple hand-drawn map of the city, which marked where there was a greater possibility of supplies, where it might be more dangerous, where it had been explored, and where it was still uninhabited...

The former leader was a local who had lived in this city for decades and knew it well. What he summed up was still very valuable. Although it was of no use to Wang Tao, it was still very useful to Zhao Yaru and the others.

When Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yaru and the others, their eyes also looked at Wang Tao.

Seeing the confusion and vigilance on their faces, Wang Tao smiled and said:

"What? Do you suspect that I have ulterior motives?"

"..."

Everyone subconsciously took a step back, and then shook their heads subconsciously at the same time.

Retreating shows that they are afraid of Wang Tao. After all, they can quickly kill the fifth-level giant zombies. Who is not afraid of the other party's rebellion?

They shook their heads because they had just suspected it, but subconsciously they still didn't want to believe that Wang Tao would trap them. If Wang Tao really wants to trick them, there is no need to go to such trouble. With Wang Tao's strength, the entire base combined is no match for him!

"Master Priest, I'm sorry! We shouldn't doubt you! We are just a little confused and don't know what to do..."

Zhao Yaru knelt down with a plop.

She was honest and said directly that she had just suspected Wang Tao, but this was because the news was so explosive that they were confused. It's not that she doesn't trust Wang Tao subjectively.

Everyone else also quickly followed Zhao Yaru and apologized to Wang Tao.

There is a huge difference in strength between them and Wang Tao, not to mention that they are all injured now. Wang Tao could crush them with just a flick of his finger, so it was definitely impossible to confront Wang Tao at this time. And they are indeed willing to believe Wang Tao. As for the content of the letter... they felt that since Wang Tao dared to show it to them, Wang Tao would definitely explain it to them. Even if Wang Tao doesn't explain, it means that Wang Tao has his own plan and they can't ask any more questions.

Anyway, their main theme is "I believe in the priest, no matter what the priest says, we believe it"!

After all, this is about your own life. The former leader is dead and they now have no choice but to trust Wang Tao.

Wang Tao looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him and waved helplessly.

"Get up."

It’s not their fault, it was a coincidence after all. If it were Wang Tao, he might also be suspicious.

"yes!"

Seeing that Wang Tao's expression did not change, the group of people felt a little uneasy.

Whether Wang Tao is happy or angry, it always reflects Wang Tao's attitude, but the calmer Wang Tao's expression is, the more scary it is because they can't guess what Wang Tao is thinking.

So these people immediately looked at Zhao Yaru.

The relationship between Zhao Yaru and Wang Tao seems to be quite close, and she is a beautiful woman. It is better to say something nice in front of Wang Tao than them.

Zhao Yaru also understood very well. After she got up, she cautiously came to Wang Tao and said respectfully:

"Sir, is there anything else you need to order?"

"this is for you."

Wang Tao also handed the third piece of letter paper to Zhao Yaru.

Everyone subconsciously glanced at it and found that it was a simple map with the former leader's mark on it...

Wang Tao said again at this time:

"Generally speaking, the Church of Dusk is indeed not a good thing. Everything stated in this letter is true. Drinking the holy medicine can indeed slightly increase physical fitness, but the body will be poisoned and the mortality rate is very high. And in order to develop the believers' church, Use any means necessary to influence the development of the base. In other survivor bases, the Dusk Church is basically a street rat and has a terrible reputation..."

"..."

Listening to Wang Tao's words, everyone's hearts suddenly sank. The reputation of the Church of Dusk in other places is so bad... Although they were prepared, they still felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, this is the Twilight Church that I have believed in for so long!

"...But there are always exceptions to everything. Not all people in the Dusk Church are bad people. There are also some who don't drink poison and develop well. Like you, like me."

Wang Tao looked at everyone with a smile.

He did not say that he, the senior priest, was a fake, but said that he was just like them. Although he was from the Twilight Church, he was not the same as the bishop. The bishop is a bad guy and I am a good guy like you.

Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, you could feel the somewhat confused eyes of everyone suddenly light up.

Zhao Yaru and the others were about to lose their faith, but now they suddenly found out that Wang Tao was like them, and they suddenly seemed to have a backbone.

"It's normal for you to doubt me, because before I also suspected that you are the kind of members of the Twilight Church who harm others and yourself. But now it seems... you have a good leader! He helped you block the bishop's conspiracy. If it weren't for him , I guess your situation at this time will not be too good..."

Wang Tao mentioned the former leader again.

After everyone heard this, tears suddenly filled their eyes.

Although they are basically the veterans of Zizhu Base and have been here a long time ago, they have also seen the human nature in the apocalypse.

And it is precisely because I have seen the ugliness of human nature that I know how good their former leader is. He was really dedicated to the base.

If it weren't for the hard work of the former leader, their Zizhu base would have been exhausted due to food shortages...

"So, I think we should fulfill his last wish, build a completely different Twilight Church, and even replace the bishop! The Twilight Church should not be a cult, but a serious church that can give people hope and light. What do you think? "

"……right!"

Everyone nodded immediately.

They originally believed in Twilight, and naturally they did not want their faith to collapse. Since the real Twilight Church is completely different from what they thought, then they can just transform the Twilight Church into the Twilight Church in their own minds!

That’s what their former leader said anyway! And there is a powerful senior priest supporting them!

"very good!"

Seeing their high morale, Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction.

Wang Tao didn't want to see their faith collapse, after all, they were all innocent. Apart from being related to the name of the Twilight Church, everything else about them was very unlike the Twilight Church. There was no need to kill them all for a name.

And Wang Tao also had his own purpose. He had thought before that the bishop's ability to preach was so strong that he couldn't stop him at all. Since he couldn't stop him, there was no need to stop him. It's better to dredge than to block. Isn't it good for the bishop to preach in front and Wang Tao to instigate his believers in the back? Defeat magic with magic!

The former leader of Zizhu Base also had this idea, which coincided with Wang Tao's.

And Zhao Yaru and others are the key. You can start with them and let them believe in another Twilight Church. If there is a chance in the future, slowly bring other believers over... This will also save more people.

"I'm glad you made the right choice. Didn't Zhao Yaru say before that I would be the leader of Zizhu Base? Do the rest of you have any objections?"

Wang Tao smiled again.

The group of people became more excited in an instant.

"We totally agree!"

They were still thinking about how to bring up this matter again, but Wang Tao took the initiative to bring it up. They had already discussed that Wang Tao must be their leader, otherwise the more than 10,000 people in this base might not last long.

"Well..." Seeing that these people all agreed sincerely, Wang Tao nodded first, then shook his head, "I can't be your leader, because I have other things to do, and I won't stay here for long..."

Since there is no plan to let these people quit the Twilight Church, Wang Tao can't take them away, after all, the Twilight Church in other bases is a cult. It's better to let them stay here for the time being, and take them away when there is a good place in the future.

"..."

Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone felt cold in their hearts. But before they could say anything, Wang Tao continued:

"But I will help you solve your current troubles and help you get through the difficulties. And if you need any help in the future, you can also contact me. And what you have to do is to develop the Twilight Church well and strive to get rid of the evil, fake Twilight Church, because we are the orthodox!"

With Wang Tao's few words, they became the orthodox, and the Twilight Church led by the bishop became fake.

But Zhao Yaru and the others did not think there was anything wrong, they said excitedly:

"Yes!"
