Chapter 452 The picture is not small
“They won't find us, right?”
“They are coming to us!”
“They're knocking on the door! Found!”
“They are going to destroy the gate. Open it quickly! The gate is destroyed and we will freeze to death!”
Looking at the trembling appearance of the group of people in front of him, Wang Tao looked at them with a half-smile.
“You seem to be afraid of us? Do you know who we are?”
Zhan Xing seemed to have apologized to Wang Tao, but intentionally or unintentionally gave Wang Tao a "moral kidnapping". Of course, this kind of thing is obviously not very useful, but it is better than nothing...
"Please forgive the rudeness of my companions. I know you are not those villains and will not do anything to us. But now you also know that in this situation, we are very afraid of strangers..."
"Ahem, hello! My name is Zhan Xing..."
They are basically ordinary people. There is nothing valuable here. The only valuable thing may be what is being cooked in the pot... This shouldn't be taken into consideration, right?
Wang Tao did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
Zhan Xing is the only second-level superpower in the basement.
The man on the right replied.
“Do you know who we are?”
Although Wang Tao has used his mental energy to look over the situation inside, after all, when going out, he must be vigilant.
Several sallow-faced, dirty-looking people, including men, women, and a ten-year-old child, were leaning against each other.
Just when these three people were in a dilemma, a weak voice suddenly came from inside.
“If you don't speak, you will take it as your acquiescence.”
“What are you cooking?”
Hearing this, the faces of the three people suddenly became very embarrassed. They obviously didn't want to let Wang Tao and his party in, but they didn't dare to refuse directly.
“…soup! There are tree roots and expired food in it…”
The three people looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
The man on the left spoke quickly.
The three of them immediately moved out of the way.
If Wang Tao asked, all three of them answered, but the answers obviously did not satisfy Wang Tao.
A middle-aged man with a thin build and thin hair walked over.
“…take refuge!”
“Invite the guests in! Ahem…”
Zhan Xing knew very well that facing such a group of superpowers, they had no power to resist, so they might as well take the initiative and see what these people wanted to do.
"this…"
Looking at the three men shivering from the cold, Wang Tao said:
Wang Tao briefly shook his hand.
“Oh, it's really not easy!”
Wang Tao and others subconsciously covered their noses. The smell here was a bit unpleasant. It was not the smell of these people, but the things boiling in the pot.
“I am Wang Tao.”
This is the question he just asked.
Not only are there zombies, but it's also such a cold weather. Wang Tao originally thought that even if there were people outside, they would be frozen to death, but he didn't expect that there were still people who survived. And although these ordinary people looked miserable, in fact Their health levels are all healthy, but the only one with superpowers among them only has half health.
Then he looked at Wang Tao and asked with some anxiety:
“I wonder what Mr. Wang needs us to do? As long as we can do it, we will never refuse!”
The basement was not as dark as expected, because there were three large pots cooking dark things, and the fire under the pots was very strong, lighting up the entire basement.
“It's so cold outside, why don't you invite us in?”
Zhan Xing also sighed.
“It's not easy for you guys to survive in this kind of environment!”
Wang Tao winked at the people behind him. A few people stayed outside, and the others followed Wang Tao and walked in.
Wang Tao looked around and sighed.
Although the three ordinary people cannot see the strength of Wang Tao and his party, none of them are fools. They can move in this kind of ice and snow. Who would believe that they have no strength? Not to mention, there is a half-human, half-machine "monster" standing behind Wang Tao, and you can clearly see the various firearms mounted on him!
For ordinary people, firearms may be more oppressive than those with supernatural powers. After all, "bullets can kill" is a deeply ingrained belief for many people.
They seemed to be amazed when they saw Han Rui, a beautiful and clean woman, but they did not dare to look more and lowered their heads.
Wang Tao came to a conclusion directly. The man in the middle opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Tao, "What are you doing in there?"
Zhan Xing immediately said:
“At first glance, you must be from Changhe Base, right?”
He was actually a little confused. In the current environment, Changhe Base was still letting people come out?
“You know we are from Changhe Base, but you are still so afraid of us?”
Wang Tao asked again.
He could feel that these people were really afraid of them. Not only were they afraid, they were also very hostile to him!
Because before opening the door, Wang Tao used his mental power to detect it, and he actually saw the look of despair on the faces of these ordinary people. They even said that they wanted to die together in whispers.
This made Wang Tao very confused. The reputation of Changhe Base is not so bad, right? Even if you are afraid of Changhe Base, you won't think of dying together as soon as you meet?
Could it be that Changhe Base uprooted the Dusk Church in the base and it was exposed? Let them, the Twilight Church people, share the same hatred?
But at that time, the temperature dropped sharply, it was freezing and snowy, and no one left the city at all. People outside should not know the news that the Church of Dusk in the base has been uprooted, unless they have a tool like a sensing ring to convey the news!
Or maybe, the people who had the Changhe Base did something before that caused them to suffer, thus affecting the reputation of the Changhe Base...
Wang Tao needs to figure out what is going on.
“Uh, no, no! We are in awe of the strong!”
Zhan Xing waved his hands repeatedly.
Wang Tao didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Zhan Xing's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, but he still did not change his words.
The few ordinary people over there had their heads lowered and their bodies were trembling slightly, as if they were very scared. But Wang Tao could feel that their muscles were tense, ready to pounce on him at any time!
This made Wang Tao even more surprised.
He is a fourth-level awakened person, and these people are ordinary people who are not even first-level. These ordinary people actually want to besiege him? Who gave them the courage?
"Mr. Wang, don't get me wrong! We haven't seen other people for a long time, and we subconsciously feel scared when we see strangers. After all, in the apocalypse, humans themselves are also one of the threats, and you should know that. Of course, I am not saying that you are Threat, I know you are a good person..."
Zhan Xing continued to explain, and also sent Wang Tao a good person card.
Wang Tao was a little impatient. He frowned and looked at Zhan Xing. "We still have things to do and don't have time to talk to you. Tell me why you are so hostile to me."
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Xing's expression suddenly changed, and the few ordinary people who had been paying attention to what was going on here suddenly jumped up and rushed directly towards Han Rui and Jiang Shixue.
“Catch them!”
Someone yelled.
Zhan Xing also immediately took out a dagger and stabbed Wang Tao at close range.
Wang Tao didn't make any unnecessary moves. He just glanced at Zhan Xing. Zhan Xing suddenly stiffened and the dagger in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
his eyes were a little out of focus, as if he had lost his soul, and he fell to the ground in despair.
On the other side, the situation surprised Wang Tao.
These ordinary people rushed towards Han Rui and the other women. Wang Tao originally thought that Han Rui and the others would subdue these people instantly, but in the end, these people were subdued after taking two moves from Han Rui and the others!
On one side are ordinary people who have not reached the first level, and on the other are those who are fourth level awakened. Ordinary people can actually take two moves at the hands of the Awakened? Although Han Rui and the others did come with the idea of not harming people's lives, and they might be a little merciful, they wouldn't be able to fight ordinary people in a back-and-forth manner, right? Even if there are only two moves.
“There's something weird about these people! They're so strong, not inferior to second- and third-level superpowers!”
After subduing all these people, Han Rui came to Wang Tao and whispered.
"oh?"
Wang Tao was suddenly enlightened. No wonder they could compete with Han Rui and the others, but then he became puzzled.
Ordinary people have the physical qualities of superpowers? What's happening here?
Wang Tao looked at Zhan Xing, who was lying on the ground and hadn't woken up yet. Wang Tao had tried to use as little mental power as possible, but Zhan Xing still couldn't bear it.
Then Wang Tao looked at the few ordinary people who were subdued. They all looked at Wang Tao, including the child, viciously, as if they had some deep hatred for Wang Tao.
“Kill us, we won't say anything!”
These people are also very tough.
Wang Tao is too lazy to say anything more, and is ready to let Jiang Shi go ahead.
Jiang Shixue's [Puppet] awakening allows them to explain everything. Although it will cause some damage to their bodies, this is what they asked for.
Just when Wang Tao was about to let Jiang Shixue take action, he suddenly thought of something and took out a golden square badge from his backpack and put it on his chest.
When Wang Tao turned around and revealed the badge on his chest, the subdued men were ready to continue scolding, but they suddenly got stuck.
"you you…"
"Let's get to know each other again. I am the senior priest of the Church of Dusk. I have just been hiding in the city, so you probably haven't seen me. They are all our own people."
Wang Tao spoke without blushing or heartbeat.
A few people were a little confused. They never expected that Wang Tao turned out to be from the Twilight Church!
In order to let them see the badge clearly, Wang Tao walked up to them and asked Xiang Hongbin to let them go.
A few people rubbed their eyes and found that they had indeed seen it correctly. This was the badge of the priest of the Church of Dusk, and it was real. They had their own way of judging the authenticity of the badge. No matter how they looked at it, the badge was real.
“You...I'm sorry!”
After the people were released, they immediately knelt down to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao raised the corner of his mouth.
He also had a sudden idea just now, thinking about whether he could use the emblem of the Church of Dusk to pretend to be a church priest. He didn't know if these people knew this badge, but he had nothing to lose by trying it...but he didn't expect it to be really useful.
Since it is useful, the next step is easy.
Wang Tao spoke directly:
“Why are you so hostile to me?”
"No, we are not hostile to you! We are hostile to the people at Changhe Base."
Several people explained one after another.
"Then why are you hostile to the people at Changhe Base? I haven't been out for a long time, and I haven't had much contact with outsiders."
Wang Tao's reason was a bit lame, but these people believed it. In other words, they never doubt their superiors.
“Because Changhe Base sent people to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of us before, and they wanted to kill us all! Many of our brothers died at the hands of Changhe Base! We have to avenge this..."
Looking at this man's indignant expression, Wang Tao had a question mark on his head.
No, since when did Changhe Base send people to encircle and suppress you?
Wang Tao is definitely a senior executive of Changhe Base now. If something like this happens, he will definitely know about it.
And the most important thing is that he destroyed the Dusk Church in the city with his own hands. It was only a few days before the Dusk Church was destroyed, and no one in the city came out except them! So, who went to encircle and suppress them?
Could it be that he recognized the wrong person, or there were some misunderstandings or coincidences?
“Are you a person who has experienced it yourself?”
Wang Tao said doubtfully.
“No, but this matter has been spread throughout the church, and we all know...”
“That's right! My friend lost contact during this battle...”
When talking about this matter, those people were very excited. Even the teenage boy had hatred shining in his eyes.
“My mother died during the encirclement and suppression!”
“Then you saw it with your own eyes?”
Wang Tao asked immediately.
“No, one of my uncles told me...”
Wang Tao felt like he understood something, and then he asked again:
“When is the specific time to encircle and suppress you?”
“It starts at the end of January and lasts until before it snows!”
A few people answered immediately.
Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged, but he was speechless in his heart.
Wang Tao has a very vivid memory of this time at the end of January, because it was the first time he encountered a giant eagle.
At that time, after he notified the city hall of the existence of the giant eagle, many people with supernatural powers did not dare to go out. The New Year is just around the corner, and many people simply wait to celebrate the New Year before going out.
At that time, there was no news about the Twilight Church in the city, and no one knew about the existence of the Twilight Church.
In addition, although the people in front of me swear by their words, they have not seen it with their own eyes...
Therefore, Wang Tao has reason to suspect that this so-called "encirclement and suppression" and "extreme killing" are all false and are lies spun by people with deliberate intentions to arouse their hatred!
As for who this "careful person" is... no need to think about it, he must be a senior member of the Twilight Church.
The Twilight Church incites the survivors outside the city to make them hate the Changhe Base; and it also infiltrates inside the city... The Twilight Church has a big plan!
