80. Prophets teach

He wanted to target Liu Tong, who was fleeing in the crowd, but those men in black robes were all dressed in exactly the same way. Even their statures were not much different in the dark. If he wanted to find Liu Tong accurately, it would be no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Gu Zhuo searched for a while and had no choice but to give up.

Seeing the group of men in black robes scattering like birds and beasts, running farther and farther away, Gu Zhuo drove the Doomsday Fortress back to the back of the mall.

After stopping the car, he and Chaoying went to the rear driver's seat to check on the woman.

The woman was much better now. Although there was still a deep red mark on her wrist, her mental state seemed to be normal. However, her face was a little pale after being frightened by the monster just now.

"It's okay. You are absolutely safe in my car now. No one can hurt you."

Gu Zhuo said to the woman.

The woman raised her head and looked at Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying. Although Chao Ying was an absolute beauty, the woman in front of her was not bad in appearance, and could even be regarded as a female star. Her face was pale at the moment.

, adding a layer of pity to me.

"thank you all."

The woman murmured, her voice sounding a little hoarse.

"My name is Gu Zhuo, this is Chao Ying, what's your name?"

"Yue Cen."

"Those guys in black robes, do you know who they are?"

Gu Zhuo asked straight to the point. This was the issue he was most concerned about right now.

Yue Cen nodded and turned her wrists. The two people had tied her too tightly just now, and her hands had been congested with blood. The numbness was only getting better now.

"Those guys were all taught by the prophet."

"Prophetism?"

Gu Zhuo had never heard of this religious name. It seemed that it was really a cult.

Yue Cen calmed down for a moment and began to talk about everything that happened in Jinqiao since the end of the world.

At the beginning, Jinqiao was just a small city like other places. After the doomsday came, everyone was in danger. The two people who were detained with him today, including the person who executed them, all worked together to survive in the beginning.

of survivors.

The executed man's name was Zhao Wen, and the other woman's name was Ding Yu. The four of them were guests of the hotel. For various reasons, they did not return home when the extreme cold came, but stayed in the hotel.

Ding Yu is a waiter in the hotel. Zhao Wen and Yue Cen are both guests of the hotel. Yue Cen has to stay in this hotel for a week because of a business trip. After the emergency news was released, she originally wanted to buy a plane ticket to go home, but all the plane tickets were sold out.

Empty, not a single one.

Not only that, all train tickets and so on have been sold out.

Helpless, she could only stay in the hotel first and prepare to go home after this period. Unexpectedly, this decision changed her life.

Liu Tong is different from the three of them. He is an out-and-out rich second generation, and the hotel is his family's property.

Originally, he just came here to have some fun and familiarize himself with the family business. Unexpectedly, he was trapped with them.

There were originally a dozen or so scattered people in the hotel. A dozen people formed a small group. When the power and heating were cut off, they signed up with each other to stay warm and struggled to survive in the apocalypse.

As a result, one day, an organization whose members all wore black robes found this place. Without saying a word, they tied everyone up, covered their eyes with black cloth, and escorted them to a prison.

When they regained the light again, a man stood condescendingly in front of them.

That man claimed to be the high priest of the Prophetic Cult. He came to convey the prophet's will, and soon half of the people would turn into monsters.

Therefore, it is necessary to tie them up now. When the day is over, they will naturally let go of those who have not turned into monsters.

Zhao Wen felt that they were just talking nonsense. He had never heard of the so-called prophetic teachings.

But the high priest just sneered, dropped these few words and left without looking back.

During those days, Yue Cen clearly remembered that a group of them lived a life worse than that of dogs. They ate only dross and relied entirely on a large iron stove for heating. They had to add firewood to the iron stove.

Add fire to the fire. If one person's movements are slightly delayed, the group of them will not have any food supplies that day.

Liu Tong was used to living in a wealthy family, so naturally he couldn't bear this kind of torture.

At that time, Yue Cen even comforted him.

In fact, she should have thought of it earlier. According to Liu Tong's fear of hardship and his hypocritical character, it was only a matter of time before he ended up like this.

After several days of torture that were worse than pigs and dogs, the accident happened on the day of the blood moon.

Recalling the scene of that day, Yue Cen trembled a few times, as if she could still remember every scene vividly.

That day, most of the people in prison with her suddenly fell to the ground and started twitching non-stop.

They were twitching and showing expressions of extreme pain, as if they were enduring the pain of heart-to-heart and bone-breaking pain.

Yue Cen saw something was wrong, and she quickly stepped forward to save people, but no matter what methods she took or how hard she tried, she could not break free from the iron chains tightly tied to her body.

"Save people, come and save people!"

Yue Cen weakly shouted outside the prison that if he didn't save people, it looked like these people might really die.

However, the men in black robes who would come in from outside and scold them whenever they yelled a little were now gone, as if they were dead.

"Save people..."

Yue Cen watched helplessly as these people struggled in pain in front of him. They even scratched their own skin with their hands, leaving dazzling blood marks on their faces and bodies.

Suddenly, Liu Tong's scream sounded nearby.

The rest of the people, who had not had any trouble yet, all looked in the direction of Liu Tong, but they saw something that made their breathing stagnant.

I saw an ugly-looking monster, covered in blood and vaguely humanoid, struggling to pounce on Liu Tong.

If it hadn't still been tied up with the iron chain that the man in black robe had previously tied up, Liu Tong would have been knocked down by it at this moment.

Following the monster's movements, more and more "patients" who were still lying on the ground moaning began to change.

While they were making sounds that were not human at all, they were frantically trying to attack the few remaining survivors.

Seeing a monster stretching out its hand forward to catch Liu Tong, Zhao Wen flew over and kicked the monster in the head, knocking its entire head apart. The monster lay on the ground twitching.

For a while.

"Liu Tong, come over here!"

Zhao Wen was the oldest in their team and looked after everyone as a younger brother or sister. At this time, he bought Liu Tong a chance and pulled him to his side.

At the moment when he pulled Liu Tong to his side, the monster, which was lying on the ground dying after being kicked in the head, suddenly regained its vitality and jumped up to jump over.

"Damn it, you're playing me!"

Zhao Wen also didn't expect that the monster with its head cut open could actually get up alive and well.

Fortunately, the chain caught it in time. As soon as it jumped into the air, it fell heavily again.

But no one knew how long the iron chain could last. Zhao Wen asked the survivors to hide behind him, and he protected everyone tightly, like the most solid wall.

Just when everyone and the monster were in a stalemate, the men in black robes ran in. They looked out of breath, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.

They opened the prison door, as if they had practiced it beforehand, and perfectly bypassed the furthest distance that the chained monsters could reach.

The men in black robes handcuffed the remaining survivors, then untied their chains and dragged them out of the prison.

Those monsters stared at everyone, desperately trying to pounce on them. If it weren't for these men in black robes who were familiar with the safest distance, Zhao Wen and the others would not have been able to die even if they had a hundred and eighty lives.

Fortunately, all the survivors were rescued in the end. The man in black robe closed the prison door again and led everyone out of the prison to meet the high priest.

When Yue Cen left the Iron Stove and the prison for the first time, she saw chaos outside. Many survivors like them were pulled out and dragged to the square.

Not only that, the moon outside that looked like it was stained with blood made her heart tremble, and a feeling of fear arose from the bottom of her heart.

When everyone was frightened, in order to appease them, Zhao Wen pretended to be calm and smiled bitterly at them:

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens soon, even if I die, I will definitely die before you!"

When he said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he was also the one being dragged on the ground.

After all the survivors who had not mutated were thrown into the square, the high priest counted the number of people and made sure there were no mistakes. Then he spoke and said to everyone:

"Have you seen this blood moon in the sky?"

The high priest pointed his finger at the sky, and the blood-red light shone on him, making him look particularly ferocious.

"The prophet has long predicted that this day will come. The prophet will never lie to us! A few months ago, he predicted the arrival of the extreme cold, and now, he predicted the birth of these hateful monsters!

"

Yue Cen didn't understand what he wanted to say, let alone who the prophet he was talking about was. She just looked at the blood moon and felt that there was a piercing coldness from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

"We, the Prophetic Cult, have been hiding behind the crowd for too long. Now is the opportunity to prove us. We can no longer hide! To ordinary people, these monsters are destruction, but to us, they are gifts from the gods.

The most powerful weapon is the proof of the prophet’s great power!”

The high priest spoke eloquently and with great emotion.

"He's like a fool in the village who only knows how to dig potatoes."

Zhao Wen ignored the stern looks cast by the other men in black robes and complained.

The high priest spoke so eloquently that Yue Cen didn't even understand a few words.

But she could vaguely tell that this religion didn't seem to be a new religion that appeared after the end of the world. It seemed to have existed for a while.

As if talking in his sleep, the high priest continued to talk a lot.

Finally, feeling that the atmosphere was almost complete, he revealed his true purpose today:

"After witnessing the prophet's divine power, any of you are infected by the divine power and want to join the religion!? I can guarantee that the Prophet's Cult will bless the safety of every loyal believer!"
