Chapter 587 We are the orthodox
“Take a look.”
After Wang Tao read it, he handed the letter directly to Zhao Yaru.
"Uh...is this something we can see?"
This letter was left by the previous leader to this leader. Zhao Yaru had just discussed it with other people and must be firm. Support Wang Tao as their new leader, so logically speaking, they are not qualified to see these things.
"Look, you should know this."
Wang Tao explained.
Since he said this, the others were naturally not polite and immediately looked at the envelope. They were also curious about what the old leader had left for the new leader.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it. They felt that their faith was collapsing.
“The bishop wants us to drink poison? Wants to kill us?!”
"The leader blocked it for us? He didn't let us drink!"
"The leader's wife and children all died because of drinking poison..."
"Then what do we believe in now..."
"..."
They were rescued by Wang Tao today and witnessed the "blessing of dusk" with their own eyes. They were no longer pious but fanatical towards the Dusk Church.
But now they are told that the Twilight Church they believe in is a cult? The bishop who is respected by thousands of people is not even a good thing?
At this moment, everyone’s faith collapsed. They couldn't accept it, but the letter was indeed the leader's handwriting...
But after all, they had experienced the end of the world, and their mentality was stronger than ordinary people. Let’s not talk about whether the faith collapses or not. The letter also said that the next leader should try not to trust other Twilight Church members!
The tone of the former leader's words was obviously directed at the people in Zizhu Base.
But the problem now is that there is another member of the Twilight Church beside them-Wang Tao!
Moreover, Wang Tao asked them before if they had ever drank that black potion...
So... Wang Tao cannot be trusted?
Everyone looked at Wang Tao subconsciously, looking a little confused and a little wary.
The former leader would definitely not harm them. They knew the former leader's character very well, especially since the former leader also hid the poison and did not give it to them. There must be nothing wrong with the behavior of the former leader.
But Wang Tao doesn’t seem to have any intention of harming 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 read to them by Wang Tao...
Everyone felt that their minds were going to be messed up, and they didn’t know for a while what to do.
......
After Wang Tao handed this letter to Zhao Yaru, he looked at the other two pieces of paper.
There are three pieces of stationery in this letter. The first one contains the instructions from the former leader, and the second one contains the formula for the "holy medicine".
However, as mentioned above, in this formula, except for the core materials that remain unchanged, other materials can be changed. The bishop has been studying the formula, and he may not be sure how far he has reached it now. Therefore, there may be some differences in the holy medicine in each place.
Wang Tao was naturally very interested in this formula. He found that the formula of this holy medicine was a mutated herbal medicine. Wang Tao had never heard of it, but there was a picture on it. Wang Tao looked at the picture and thought for a while and found that he seemed to have seen these mutant herbs before. But since these mutated herbs have no names, Wang Tao regarded them as ordinary grass and didn't care... It's so cold outside now, these mutated herbs may not be found for the time being...
This recipe It is said that this medicine can improve people's physical fitness, but it will have some side effects, so it is recommended for ordinary believers to use. There is no need for those believers who have strength, such as deacons, priests, etc. This improvement in physical fitness is of little use to them.
As for the side effects, the letter did not say anything, only that the side effects were very small. In order to increase the probability of giving birth in the apocalypse, this side effect is acceptable.
“Does that bishop really not know the serious side effects? Or is he deliberately deceiving?”
Wang Tao thinks it should be the latter.
The bishop has preached in many places, and many people have drank this medicine. It is impossible for him to be unaware of the side effects!
What makes Wang Tao a little confused is why the bishop would do such a thing? After all, this doesn’t seem to be of any benefit to him, right?
If you say that the bishop wants to use drugs to control other believers, that is more reasonable. But these believers will die if they drink too much medicine!
Everyone is dead, what good does this do to the bishop?
Wang Tao couldn't figure it out, but all he needed to know was that this bishop was not a good person. If you have a chance to meet him in the future, you must capture him and ask him what he wants to do.
As for this potion formula, Wang Tao accepted it. Let Qu Shilin go back and do some research to see if he can find anything.
After Wang Tao put away the formula, he looked at the last piece of letter paper.
This letter paper is a simple hand-drawn map. The map is of this city. It marks where there is a greater possibility of having supplies, where it may be more dangerous, where it has been explored, and where there is still no one. District...
The former leader is a local. He has lived in this city for decades and knows it well. What he summarized is still very valuable. Although it is of no use to Wang Tao, it is still very useful to Zhao Yaru and the others.
When Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yaru and 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 took a step back subconsciously, 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?
Shaking their heads is because they had doubts just now, but subconsciously they still didn't want to believe that Wang Tao would harm 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!
"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.
The difference in strength between them and Wang Tao is huge, not to mention that they are both 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 walked carefully to Wang Tao and said respectfully:
"Sir, do you have anything else to tell me?"
< br>"This is for you."
Wang Tao also handed the third piece of letter paper to Zhao Yaru.
Everyone glanced at it subconsciously and found that it was a simple map with the mark of the former leader on it...
Wang Tao said again at this time:
"Generally The Twilight Church is indeed not a good thing. What is said in this letter is true. Drinking the holy medicine can indeed increase your physical fitness slightly, but the body will be poisoned and the death rate will be high, and they will do anything to develop believers. Affecting the development of the base. In other survivor bases, the Church of Dusk is basically a street rat, with a terrible reputation..."
"..."
Listening to Wang Tao's words, everyone's hearts suddenly sank. The reputation of the Dusk Church in other places is so bad... Although they were prepared, they still felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, this is the Twilight Church that I have believed in for so long!
"...But there are always exceptions to everything. People in the Dusk Church are not all bad people. There are also people who do not drink poison and develop well. Like you, like me."
Wang Tao smiled. Looking at everyone.
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 this, he 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 Twilight Church members who harm others and themselves. But now it seems... you have a good leader! He helped you block the bishop. The conspiracy. If it weren't for him, your situation at this time would not be very 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 hadn’t been 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 and build a completely different place. The Twilight Church even replaces 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?”
“…Yes!”
< br>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 doesn’t want to see their faith collapse. After all, they are all innocent. Except for the name Twilight Church, everything else about them is very different from Twilight Church. There is no need to kill someone for a name.
Moreover, Wang Tao also had his own purpose. He had thought before that this bishop's preaching ability was so strong that he could not stop him at all. Since it can't be stopped, there is no need to stop it. As the saying goes, blocking is worse than sparing. Wouldn't it be good if the bishop preached from the front and Wang Tao instigated his followers from behind? Use magic to defeat magic!
The former leader of Zizhu Base also had this idea, which coincided with Wang Tao.
People like Zhao Yaru are the key. You can start with them and let them believe in another kind of Twilight Church. If there is a chance in the future, you can slowly bring in other believers... This will also save more people.
"I'm glad you made the right choice. Didn't Zhao Yaru say before that I should be the leader of Zizhu Base? Do the rest of you have any opinions?"
Wang Tao smiled again.
The group of people instantly became more excited.
“We completely agree!”
They were originally thinking about how to bring this up again, but they didn’t expect Wang Tao to take 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 be able to hold on for long.
"Well..." Seeing that these people all sincerely agreed, Wang Tao nodded first, and then shook his head, "I can't be your leader, because I have other things to do. I will stay here for a long time..."
Since there is no intention to let these people quit the Twilight Church, it is impossible for Wang Tao to take them away. After all, the Twilight Church in other bases is a cult. It's more appropriate to keep them here for the time being, and take them away later when a good place comes.
"..."
Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone felt cold. But before they could speak, Wang Tao continued:
"But I will help you solve your current troubles and help you tide over the difficulties. And if you need help in the future, you can also contact me. And what you have to do is to develop the Twilight Church well and try to get rid of the evil and fake Twilight Church, because we are the orthodox!”
In a few words, Wang Tao became orthodox, Bishop. The Twilight Church led by it has become a fake.
But Zhao Yaru and the others did not feel anything was wrong. They said excitedly:
"Yes!"
