Chapter 537 Impersonating a priest again
“A very large base of three to four hundred thousand people?”
Wang Tao was very surprised when he heard Liu Bo's words.
Looking at the population size, it is obviously a place similar to Changhe Base.
Wang Tao knows that there must be places in the world that are similar to Changhe Base, or even bigger than Changhe Base. But I didn't expect to encounter it so soon, and it was so close - no, this is not actually close.
Wang Tao quickly shook his head again.
He felt it was close only because he flew over on a golden eagle. If you drive or walk, these hundreds of kilometers are not close, especially in the end of the world where crises are everywhere...
"It seems that Mr. Wang has never heard of the Silver Snake Base. I can give you a brief introduction..."
Liu Bo noticed Wang Tao's surprise and volunteered to explain.
Through his explanation, Wang Tao knew that the Silver Snake Base was indeed very similar to the Changhe Base. It was also initially formed by the army. After all, in an environment like the end of the world, only the surviving armies still have the strength and execution ability.
However, unlike the Changhe Base, the Silver Snake Base went through a series of developments and changes, and the military lost control of the base. Now the entire Silver Snake base is decided by superpowers and awakened people.
In fact, this is a very normal pace of development. The Changhe Base model where the army is still under control is not normal.
Because these zombies mutate too easily, the cost of using weapons of mass destruction is too high. And if these weapons are not used, the combat effectiveness of the army will sooner or later be surpassed by the superpowers and awakened ones.
The reason why the army at Changhe Base can still maintain its leadership position is not because of how strong the army itself is, but because of the existence of the Hope Research Institute.
It is hoped that the various products developed by the research institute will be given priority to the military, so that the military's combat effectiveness will always be increasing.
For example, powered armor, wearing this thing, can allow an ordinary soldier to directly possess the power of a superpower or even an awakened person; another example is the crystal energy gun, even an ordinary person can kill a superpower with one shot.
The Silver Snake base obviously does not have these things. Then it is normal to be surpassed by a person with super powers.
Of course, although the army is no longer the leader of the Silver Snake Base, it is not weak after all, so it has not died or left the base. They are still in the Silver Snake Base and are just one of the many forces.
Silver Snake Base is similar to Changhe Base in one thing, that is, there are many forces in the base. However, the forces in Changhe Base all operate under the leadership of the military, and there are various rules and regulations to restrain them, so there are many forces but not chaos.
But the Silver Snake base is different. In the early days, they were managed by the military. Regardless of whether they obeyed or not, they had to listen to the military, so the base was generally quite harmonious.
Once the military no longer manages the base, other major forces want to accept the management rights of the base. But the problem is that there is not much difference in their strength, no one is convinced by the other, and there is no way to tell the difference... This caused the Silver Snake base to be in chaos for a while.
Before the heavy snow came, they finally managed to maintain a balance - they jointly established a "parliament", which was the official force of the base, and all people and forces had to listen to the parliament. There are 49 members in the parliament, almost all of whom are selected by their major forces. This is equivalent to the major forces joining forces to control the Silver Snake base.
But this kind of alliance is obviously impossible to truly work together. Each major force has its own calculations.
So the Silver Snake base is relatively chaotic, at least it has been chaotic since Liu Bo lost contact with the Silver Snake base.
Liu Bo was originally from the Silver Snake Base. Later, the Silver Snake Base manufactured an instrument that could detect impurities in the human body and tested all employees. Liu Bo was kicked out due to excessive impurities in his body.
However, the Silver Snake Base has not killed all of them. Although people with excessive impurities in their bodies are not allowed to live in the base, they can do business with the base, such as exchanging crystal cores for food, weapons, etc., and they can also stay in the base temporarily. Stay, although you will be monitored all the way...
Anyway, overall, Silver Snake Base is a place that is both orderly and chaotic. Although it doesn't sound as good as Changhe Base, it is still a very large survivor base and is the place where all the survivors here want to go.
“That's all I know about the Silver Snake base so far…”
Liu Bo said a lot in one breath.
He rarely meets people who don't know anything about the Silver Snake Base. Even if he has never been there, he has heard about it, right? Wang Tao is a rare person who has never heard of Silver Snake Base. In addition, he is outgoing and likes to share, so he explained Silver Snake Base to Wang Tao very carefully.
“This Silver Snake base sounds like a very good one.”
Wang Tao nodded.
“That's not true! It's a pity that they don't want me...”
Liu Bo sighed and looked a little lonely.
“With your strength as an awakened person, will the Silver Snake Base reject you?”
Wang Tao asked curiously.
"When I was kicked out before, I was just an ordinary superpower. As for now... they may want me, or they may not. But regardless of whether they want me, I don't want to go. I have everyone here to accompany me. fine."
Liu Bo looked like he had seen through the turmoil of the world.
But Wang Tao suddenly spoke:
“Maybe it's because of the Dusk Church.”
Liu Bo subconsciously took a step back and looked at Wang Tao warily. The others immediately took on a surrounding posture, vaguely surrounding Wang Tao in the middle.
“Mr. Wang, how do you know we are from the Twilight Church?”
Liu Bo's face looked a little ugly.
He suddenly felt that this Wang Tao had been pretending just now. He was actually from the Silver Snake Base and was here to destroy their Twilight Church! Because the Church of Dusk is called a cult in Silver Snake Base...
If this is the case, then this battle is inevitable!
He has no confidence that he can defeat Wang Tao, but he has no retreat!
Seeing Liu Bo's shock, Wang Tao was speechless. He was not blind. Could he not see the Twilight Church badge Liu Bo wore on his chest?
However, Wang Tao did not answer. Instead, he took something out of his pocket and put it on his chest.
Liu Bo was so nervous that he almost took action, but when Wang Tao let go and revealed the square golden badge on his chest, he was dumbfounded.
“…you…senior priest?”
Liu Bo never expected that Wang Tao would actually take out a senior priest badge of the Church of Twilight and wear it!
He wears a golden diamond-shaped badge on his chest and is a senior deacon of the Dusk Church, while Wang Tao wears a golden square badge as a senior priest, which is a whole level higher than him!
So, Mr. Wang was not sent by the Silver Snake Base to clean them up, but one of his own?
Liu Bo couldn't believe it, but this badge didn't look fake. He felt that there was a special aura in the badge. This aura was only found in their Twilight Church and could not be faked.
“Why, you're still not polite when you see me?”
Wang Tao frowned, and a majestic aura emerged from him.
“I've met the priest!”
Liu Bo still had many questions, but facing Wang Tao, he still subconsciously half-knelt down to salute. The people around him followed Liu Bo and half-kneeled down in confusion. They couldn't figure out that Mr. Wang was actually a priest!
This is a private interview on an incognito server!
“Well, get up.”
Wang Tao nodded, as if that was really the case.
After receiving the order, Liu Bo and others stood up with some anxiety.
The Church of Dusk has always been in the dark, and the information of all personnel has always been kept confidential, and only the superiors know it. Therefore, the rule of the Dusk Church is to see badges as people. As long as Wang Tao's badge is confirmed to be genuine, then Wang Tao will be a senior priest. Except for the bishop, no one can deny Wang Tao's identity.
Facing a superior who is stronger than himself, he is worried that Wang Tao will punish him for being rude.
Wang Tao naturally had no bad taste in punishing people. He asked directly:
“Do you have any mission while staying here?”
“Uh…you don't know?”
Liu Bo did not doubt Wang Tao's identity, but he was a little strangely naive.
"I just got here today, how could I know what your tasks are." Wang Tao said matter-of-factly.
He had previously learned from Zhu Fen, the original owner of this priest's badge, that the members of the Dusk Church were relatively scattered. Theoretically, each area has a top person in charge. For example, the top person in charge of the Twilight Church in Changhe Base is Zhu Fen. Zhu Fen only knows the Twilight Church in Changhe Base very well, but he doesn't know much about other places. Of course, Zhu Fen is the senior priest in the church, with a status second only to the bishop. If Zhu Fen wanted to know about the situation of Twilight Church in other places, that would be no problem.
"Are you really from out of town? That's right. The senior priest at the Silver Snake Base is my boss. I have contacted him several times before. Although I didn't see his appearance, this priest is thin and thin..."
Liu Bo muttered.
He said this deliberately, and the purpose was naturally to tell Wang Tao that he was also following a senior priest, and hoped that Wang Tao would not argue with him. After all, he was a little rude to the priest just now, and it would be troublesome if he was held accountable.
Liu Bo's words made Wang Tao raise his eyebrows slightly.
He had thought before that since there are people from the Twilight Church here, based on his understanding of the Twilight Church, there is a high probability that there are also people from the Twilight Church in the Silver Snake base, and there is also a priest to lead the overall situation... Now it seems that it is indeed the case, Liu Bo I also came into contact with that priest.
After expressing his "background" in a vague way, Liu Bo quickly said:
"The task I received is to recruit as many survivors as possible here, strive to make this Feisha Lake base bigger, and cultivate superpowers and even awakened ones. When the time is right, I can cooperate with the above. Something big has happened!”
Liu Bo did not hide anything and immediately stated his mission.
"I see..." Wang Tao nodded first, and then asked, "What is the 'big thing' you want to do?"
Liu Bo immediately shook his head.
“I don't know about that. My boss didn't tell me. Maybe you can ask him personally...”
“That's okay.”
Wang Tao probably doesn't know about Liu Bo.
He then asked:
“When was the last time you contacted that priest?”
If there is a chance, Wang Tao would like Liu Bo to introduce him and then directly take him down as his boss. Wang Tao doesn't have a good impression of the Twilight Church. Wang Tao thinks they are a cult. If you don't encounter it, forget it. If you encounter it, you have to deal with it.
But Liu Bo said helplessly:
"The closest contact I had with my boss was before the heavy snowfall...because my boss would send people to certain fixed locations to leave messages for me. But after the heavy snowfall, the temperature dropped sharply and it became difficult to go out. I risked my life and went there several times. But I didn't see any message left…”
Liu Bo even doubted whether something bad had happened to his boss. After all, he can go out in the heavy snow. The people under his boss are definitely no weaker than him, and they can come out if they want to, unless they encounter some problems.
“Before the heavy snow…”
Wang Tao frowned.
The heavy snow has been going on for two or three months. If we haven't contacted each other for such a long time, it is definitely impossible for us to contact each other now.
Wang Tao's idea of meeting the priest came to nothing. Even if he went to the Silver Snake Base, the priest never showed his true face, making it difficult for Wang Tao to find him.
But the problem is not big. Since plan A failed, Wang Tao still has plan B.
“I suspect that there may be something wrong with your boss.”
Wang Tao said directly.
Liu Bo thought so too, but he didn't dare to accept this.
“By the way, let's talk about the situation of the Dusk Church at the Silver Snake base.”
Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something and asked again.
"Uh...well, we are defined as a cult. Anyone who discovers our church will be killed unconditionally, so the situation of the Twilight Church in the Silver Snake base is very bad...but you know, how can we be a cult? ! We only take in those people who were kicked out of the Silver Snake Base!"
Sure enough, although the situations of the two bases are different, their attitudes towards the Twilight Church are the same.
It is estimated that the Twilight Church also did some outrageous things in the Silver Snake Base, which resulted in a chaotic place like the Silver Snake Base not being able to tolerate their existence.
“Since your situation is so bad, how dare you wear the church's emblem?”
Wang Tao is a little strange.
"Well, before the badge was officially produced, our church had already been labeled as a cult...so other than our own people, the people at the Silver Snake base don't know each other. I wear this to distinguish my own people. If I don't wear it, badge, then you may not recognize me today..."
“So that's how it is.”
It suddenly dawned on Wang Tao.
Then he looked at Liu Bo.
"Well, since you can't contact your boss, you can follow me from now on."
"ah?"
Liu Bo was still thinking about how to avoid Wang Tao's punishment. Unexpectedly, Wang Tao actually confronted his boss!
After only hesitating for a few tenths of a second, Liu Bo immediately pretended to be very excited and nodded.
“Yes! I, Liu Bo, and all the survivors in the entire Feisha Lake Base are willing to obey your orders!”
This is a senior priest who poached him personally. If he didn't know what he was doing, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of this door.
As for his own boss... let's get through today's test first. One more day to live is just one day, and we'll talk about the rest later.
“Very knowledgeable.”
Wang Tao nodded with a smile.
It doesn't matter whether Liu Bo is sincere or not, he doesn't expect these people to do anything for him. But as long as it can affect or even destroy things in the Twilight Church, that's a good thing for him.
“Are you in any trouble now?”
Since I have accepted a group of younger brothers, I naturally have to show my responsibility as a big brother. How can I follow him sincerely if I don't let him see the benefits he can get?
"Well…"
Liu Bo scratched his head. He was really in trouble, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
But he finally gritted his teeth and said it.
"There is really a big trouble... Some time ago, a group of powerful zombies came about ten kilometers away from us. They seemed to be at the level of fifth-order lords. If they come to our base, we can't handle them..."
“Oh? Level 5 zombies!”
Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
Except for Night Demon, he felt that he had not killed a fifth-level lord zombie for a long time. It is estimated that Liu Bo is talking about the fifth-level frozen zombie lord. He happens to have itchy hands, so he can help Liu Bo solve it by the way.
