Joyce is not the first to try something new in the apocalypse.
In this doomsday world where rules have collapsed and everything is precarious, religions are emerging one after another with different purposes. Some are just for comforting the body and mind, some are under the guise of defrauding money and sex, some are uniting people's hearts, and some are biased towards extreme harm to others and ourselves.
Religions that respect terrifying creatures as gods and dark and ignorant religions account for more.
Joyce's plan had to fit in with their identity as their savior, so the religious purpose was quickly settled on: rebuilding their homeland.
Then came the name. Mu Su insisted on his Mu Susu support group, but it was of no use. Finally, with a vote of 12:4, the religion was named: Dawn Church.
It means that the new dawn will pour over this broken land.
As for why 4 people have 16 votes, it starts with Mu Su’s cheating and counting his feet and legs.
As the "god" of the Church of Dawn, Mu Su's identity is the Lord of Dawn who comes from the kingdom of God and walks in the wasteland to save the world. He is also the husband of the goddess of dawn - this was added at Mu Su's request. He is also the lover of the goddess of light.
, Xinyi of the Goddess of Love, and Mistress of the Charming Goddess were rejected by the other three.
The position of archbishop of the Church of Dawn is held by Joyce. Chen Yue and the summoned Lin Ju are the first saints, responsible for serving and following Mu Su, the Lord of Dawn.
For the time being, there is only Anthony as a cardinal, and for safety reasons, it will only be held by members of the Eternal Life Society. Similarly, there is also the position of saint. After all, Mu Su is very weak and very manipulative.
There are no candidates for ordinary bishops, and it is also the highest priestly position that aborigines can hold. The upper echelons of the church must be in the hands of the Eternal Life Society.
The prototype of the Church of the Dawn, which may shine in the wasteland in the future, appears at this moment.
Religion is a shortcut that binds people's hearts better than force. It is also a double-edged sword. No one in power likes this group of aliens to mess around in their own territory. Therefore, Joyce needs to make detailed arrangements for the promotion of religion. And because of the people present
No one knows anything about religion and he needs help from outside.
Anthony went to call Elinor, the scavenger who had volunteered to join last night.
Chen Yue dipped her hands into the mud soup, then smeared a handful of the paste on the sand on the ground and applied it to Mu Su's face. She didn't stop until it was covered with mud.
Since there was no need to pretend to be serious anymore, Mu Su complained to himself: "Does destroying beautiful things excite you so much?"
"That's right." Chen Yuechuan said while washing his hands.
Mu Su leaned over and whispered, "Then do you dare to be interested in conquering beautiful things?"
Chen Yue's eyes turned to him: "If your next performance is not exposed, it doesn't mean that you can't consider it."
"Hmph, do you think the beauty trap will work on me?" Mu Su snorted and stepped away, hiding in a corner and muttering in a low voice about how to play a god well.
After a while, Eleanor was brought in. She first quickly scanned everyone, and her eyes were somewhat strange and took root on Mu Su.
Her observation is very keen. In fact, this can explain how she, a woman, survives among scavengers.
"Is there any religion in Hale?" Joyce asked her.
Elinor woke up from a dream, lowered her head and whispered: "The city lord has a strong desire to control, and all signs have been eliminated..."
Joyce did not think this was the answer, and asked instead: "What about the secret religion, the religion that the residents secretly believe in."
"I've only heard of a few groups of more than a dozen people..."
"I understand, you can go back."
Elinor nodded, suppressed her curiosity and anxiety about Mu Su and left.
"A person who is courageous and knows how to seize the opportunity, maybe we can use her." Anthony made a simple comment and briefly introduced her origins to Mu Su.
Joyce knew that now was not the time to implement the plan. Neither Musu's attribute points nor their strength were enough to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and self-protection.
He said: "Then the second phase will be put on hold for the time being. Let's continue to explore the internal situation of Hale City and understand it before starting. Now we will proceed with the first phase while improving the overall strength."
If you want to improve your strength, you cannot bypass the stage of hunting mutant creatures.
At present, using external force is the fastest and safest method. For example, Musu's previous smoking method gave Joyce an inspiration. He raised his head and asked Musu and others: "What will happen if we set fire to the mountain?"
"I will sit through it in prison." Mu Su said.
Several people ignored his speech. Chen Yue asked in deep thought: "It is not difficult to set fire in this season...but what if the experience of burning to death does not belong to the arsonist.
Anthony took over the conversation: "We can give it a try. Catch a live mutated creature, throw it into the fallen leaves and light it on fire. It will be clear by then."
Chen Yue nodded: "I have no objection."
Setting a fire may bring you rich experience, but it only belongs to the person who set the fire. And the location has yet to be agreed upon.
If others want to improve their strength, they can only rely on killing mutated creatures.
For example, the ant nest discovered by Mu Su.
"We can go hunting in the anthills," Joyce said.
Power ants may be difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but they only pose some threat to upgraded members. Especially Ringo's strength is already 25 points.
"Those ants are very brave," Mu Su said.
"So I decided to let Chen Yue and Ringo each lead a small team to hunt. They will gain experience and bring back the corpses to submit tasks. Fight to support war."
"There's nothing wrong with a flimsy plan." Mu Su gave a thumbs up.
"There are no flaws..." Anthony complained.
"It almost means the same thing."
It was already bright outside. A toothed rat was roasted and eaten, and the rested members took turns to take action. Chen Yue and Lin Ju went to the ant nest, and the two teams followed to serve as guard and transporters.
Joyce and two teams stayed in the cave to prepare supplies, while the remaining two teams went to the river to fish. Physical strength is the guarantee of survival in battle. Food like rat meat is suitable for surviving humans, but not for them.
Anthony led Mu Su and carried the last toothed rat to the cave to obtain the secondary mission reward.
Along the way, Anthony repeatedly reminded Mu Su not to act recklessly, but I don’t know if Mu Su listened.
In the cave, the rising and swaying wooden boards resemble Anthony's uneasy mood.
After ascending to the high platform, Anthony did not dare to let Mu Su condescend to pick up the toothed rat, put it in an empty place, and then looked at the soldier captain with a smile on his face.
"There's only one this time?" They were familiar with each other, and the captain wasn't interested in embarrassing Anthony. He just glanced at him and said casually.
Anthony pretended to wipe his sweat and replied with a smile: "We have almost killed everyone in the nearby area. It took a long time to capture this one..."
The captain nodded vaguely, his eyes fell on Mu Su's deliberately painted face, and he suddenly condensed slightly.
He pushed past Anthony who was blocking him and walked to Mu Su, his eyes never leaving that face from beginning to end.
"What are you looking at?" Mu Su said.
Hearing this tone, Anthony secretly thought that he was about to suffer, so he carefully took a few steps back and approached a soldier with a gun.
However, the captain turned around with a look of disgust on his face, cursing and muttering: "It's actually a man."
