Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 585: Purple Bamboo Base
"What happened to these people?"

Wang Tao kept his eyes and ears open and could see that the looks these people gave him were becoming increasingly fanatical, which made him a little confused.

"Did you save their lives? But even if you are grateful, you shouldn't look at them like this..."

The look in their eyes...it's like they saw a god!
The base of Zhao Yaru and others was not far from the location of the giant zombies, and the golden eagle arrived there in one minute.

To the naked eye, it looked like an abandoned park below, and it didn't look like anyone was living there.

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

Zhao Yaru quickly explained.

"Purple Bamboo Base?"

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

Wang Tao nodded.

The underground air raid shelter is indeed a good place, which is warm and safe. Especially now that the temperature outside is so low that it is not suitable for human survival, it is estimated that many survivors of the apocalypse 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 hurriedly helped them get down from the golden eagle.

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

"Go and have fun on your own."

Wang Tao handed the golden eagle a large amount of nutrient solution.

The underground space is too small, so the golden eagle naturally has no way to get in. Considering that it is relatively desolate outside and not easy to hunt, the golden eagle can only eat nutrient solution.

"Chirp~"

The golden eagle responded and flapped its wings to take off. Zhao Yaru and the others were blown to the ground a little, 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'll take you to the Zizhu Base!"

"Ah."

Wang Tao nodded.

The entrance to the 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 an additional heavy steel door.

Just now when it was in the air, Wang Tao didn’t see it due to the angle, but now after landing, he could see the entrance to the base at a glance.

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

After a while, the window on the base's gate opened, and several pairs of eyes appeared inside. After confirming that the people outside were okay, they opened the gate.

Rumbling--

"Sister Zhao, where is Lord Siduo? Why did you come back with so few people?"

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

"Dead. All those who didn't come back are dead."

Zhao Yaru whispered.

"what?"

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

The priest is dead. He was the strongest person in the base! The priest is dead. What should they do?
These people didn't even notice that there was an extra person and a dog in the team.

"Master Priest, please come in!"

Zhao Yaru quickly made way to let Wang Tao go in first.

"This is……"

Only then did the people inside realize that Wang Tao was a stranger.

They were about to ask who Wang Tao was, but when they saw the high-level priest badge on Wang Tao, they shut up instantly.

This is a strange senior priest!

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

Ignoring the surprise of these people, Zhao Yaru and her group respectfully took Wang Tao in.

Walking down all the way, we soon arrived at a hall. The lighting in the hall was dim, but we could still clearly see that there was a huge sculpture in the middle of the hall. The sculpture was shaped like a auspicious cloud and half a sun, just like the setting sun at dusk.

There were quite a few people in the hall. Seeing Zhao Yaru and the others coming back, they all looked over expectantly. After seeing Wang Tao, the tall stranger, they were all very surprised. After seeing the senior priest badge on Wang Tao, their eyes widened again. They didn't understand why there was another priest. Where did their original priest go?

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

These people all have the symbol of the Church of Twilight on them!
"Are all the people in your base members of the Church of Twilight?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

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

Zhao Yaru and others responded immediately.

"..."

It was the first time that Wang Tao saw an entire base filled with members of the Twilight Church. The Twilight Church he had seen before, no matter which base it was in, was basically hated by everyone... How could an entire base be filled with members of the Twilight Church like this, not to mention that this base had a population of more than 10,000, so it was not a small base...

When Zhao Yaru mentioned the words "believers of the Twilight Church", these people's eyes glowed with passion, and some even wanted to kneel in front of the sculpture in the middle of the hall, completely ignoring their own serious injuries.

Wang Tao waved his hand and said:

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

Zhao Yaru nodded immediately after hearing this:
"Yes, yes, you go get treated first. You still have to deal with the aftermath of this mass death... I'll be the one to accompany Master Priest!"

"Row……"

These people actually didn't want to leave, but since this was what Wang Tao said personally, they had no choice but to leave. However, as they left, they kept looking back at Wang Tao, which made Wang Tao very confused.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yaru.

"You are the 'Blessing of the Dusk', they are reluctant to be too far away from you..."

Zhao Yaru lowered her head and said respectfully.

"Blessing of the Dusk? What is that?"

Wang Tao was even more confused. Zhao Yaru did not hide anything and quickly explained what happened before.

The story is, "They were on the verge of despair, and most of them had given up resistance. Only Zhao Yaru said that they had the protection of Twilight and could not give up. No one else believed it, but they were actually saved, and the person who saved them was a senior priest of the Twilight Church."

All this is such a coincidence, so coincidental that one cannot help but believe it, there really is such a thing as "the blessing of dusk"!
Originally, Zhao Yaru herself did not believe in the blessing of Twilight, she was just trying to cheer everyone up. But now, after witnessing the miracle with her own eyes, she has become the most loyal believer of the Twilight Church and a fanatical admirer of Wang Tao. They all think that Wang Tao is the one sent by "Twilight" to save them.

After listening to Zhao Yaru's explanation, Wang Tao was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

No wonder these people looked at me with something strange in their eyes... This was indeed a bit of a coincidence.

Wang Tao wanted to explain that he was not the "Twilight Blessing", but after thinking about it, he didn't say much. After all, his current identity is a senior priest of the Twilight Church. With the title of "Twilight Blessing", he might be able to fit in better.

To be honest, Wang Tao was still a little afraid of the Twilight Church. After all, the bishop was too powerful to be able to brainwash so many people in the end times, and at such a distance... This made people have to admire him. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in all battles. It is always right to know more about the Twilight Church.

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

"This is the 'dusk' we believe in... Our craftsmanship is a little poor, please forgive us!"

Zhao Yaru explained somewhat embarrassedly.

Wang Tao knew that the Church of Dusk's belief was dusk, but the believers Wang Tao had seen before all worshiped towards the west at dusk. This was the first time Wang Tao had seen dusk being carved in such a concrete way.

"Not bad."

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

"Please introduce your specific situation."

"Yes, please come with me!"

Zhao Yaru brought Wang Tao to an empty meeting 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 12038 people at Zizhu Base..."

……

Zhao Yaru is one of the veterans of Zizhu Base. She was lucky enough to find this place at the beginning of the apocalypse. Then she and a group of people set up camp here.

Although their life was not very good, they managed to survive without any danger. However, the scale of the base could not be expanded, and they encountered a major crisis that almost wiped them out.

It was during this crisis that they met the Bishop of the Church of Dusk.

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

As the saying goes, whoever gives you milk is your mother. The bishop helped them so much, so naturally they began to believe in the Church of Twilight.

The bishop did not stay here for long. He left after preaching, saying that he was going to other places to spread the doctrine of the twilight.

When he left, he appointed a priest, and from then on, the base was managed by this priest.

At first, Zhao Yaru and her friends used the radio to contact the bishop, but after the heavy snow, the communication was completely cut off. They also lost contact with the bishop and never saw him again.

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

Rather than being a survivor base, this is more like a branch of the Church of Dusk.

They encountered many dangers later, but none of them could destroy the base. The base began to grow slowly.

Up to now, there are 12,000 survivors in the Zizhu Base, all of whom are believers of the Church of Dusk.

Most of these people are ordinary people, and a few are supernatural beings. As for the awakened ones, there are only 22 of them. The strongest one here, and also their leader, is the senior priest who was eaten by the giant zombie.

All 22 awakened people went out this time, which was a rare large-scale operation, but only 11 people came back, half of them died directly. The remaining half were seriously injured and temporarily had no combat effectiveness.

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 would probably not exist for much longer...

As for why they provoked the giant zombies, Zhao Yaru said it was because their leader, the priest, chose to provoke them. But to be honest, it was not the priest's fault.

Because this giant zombie wandered over from somewhere else, and judging from the direction it was walking, it was likely to pass by their Zizhu base!

There was a small base here before, also underground. But they were discovered by the giant zombies, either because the base had a flaw or because the giant zombies smelled them! The giant zombies turned the place upside down and caught and ate all the dozens of people in the small base!

All of this was seen by the people in the Zizhu Base. As the saying goes, when the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. They were naturally worried that they would also be discovered by the giant zombies and caught and eaten.

Therefore, the leader of Zizhu Base, Sijiao, formulated two plans. One is to lure away the giant zombie, or at least prevent it from going to Zizhu Base. The other is to kill the giant zombie!
The giant zombies are too powerful, they definitely cannot defeat them, so they can only choose to lure the giant zombies away.

But after some effort, they found that apart from losing a few people, they were unable to lure the giant zombie away.

Fortunately, the giant zombies did not move very fast, so they still had time to think of other solutions.

A few days ago, someone accidentally discovered a piece of news that there was an underground granary here, which not only contained a lot of food but was also very safe.

So the priest decided to find the granary first. It would be better if there was food in it, 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, he would transfer the people in Zizhu Base there, and when the giant zombies left, 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 not on the route of the giant zombies!
So the priest decided to go over and take a look, and after making sure there was no problem, he started to lead people to evacuate.

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

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

The giant zombie was beaten so hard that he fell several times, as if he couldn't stand it at all, and looked miserable. However, the mutant beast was also injured, so it didn't kill him, 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.

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's health was only two-thirds. He thought it was caused by Zhao Yaru and the others. He also thought that this group of people were quite powerful and could cause damage to the fifth-level giant zombie with the fourth-level level... After all this time, it turned out to be the mutant beast's credit!
After Zhao Yaru finished her explanation, she looked at Wang Tao respectfully with a hint of expectation:

"Master Priest, may I ask if you, the Bishop, have sent us to save us?"

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

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

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

"A new leader..."

Wang Tao frowned suddenly.

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

The Twilight Churches he had seen before were basically cult-like, and were basically all rats crossing the street, but the people here did not make Wang Tao feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the survivors here were not poisoned, as if they had not drunk the "holy medicine" specialty of the Twilight Church? The impurities in their bodies were also normal...

It's not impossible to recruit them, but they definitely can't be brought back to Changhe Base...

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

Does this priest look down on us?
With your strength that can kill a fifth-order giant zombie, it seems that you really don't need us... What should we do?
