"You have maintained your original heart and believed in the True God Cult to this day, which proves your piety!"
"Tomorrow, take us to the sacrificial warehouse to find the flying vehicle. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"I will escort you to the main camp of the True God Cult, to bask in the holy light of the True God!"
Zhang Wenwen said solemnly.
"Ah? Really... can I? But my evangelism mission here is not yet complete... I'm afraid I won't have the face to see the bishop... let alone meet the True God."
Lu Xuefeng said with his head bowed, full of shame.
"Don't worry, the True God will see your efforts!"
Zhang Wenwen encouraged him softly.
"My matters are small, but yours are important. If you want to get the flying vehicle tomorrow... I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"After all, this is a vessel used by the gods' worshippers. They probably won't give it to you just because you say a few words."
Lu Xuefeng reminded them kindly.
"Well, we naturally have ways to 'persuade' them, so you don't need to worry. Just act according to the plan!"
Zhang Wenwen comforted him again.
"Then... alright, I have to go back too. I sleep in a room with over a dozen people. If I'm too late, they'll report it."
Lu Xuefeng nodded politely to everyone and then ran out.
"Let's rest too!"
Zhang Chen turned to everyone and said.
"Mm..."
Tang Xiaoen looked at the environment, then found a spot in the middle row and sat down with his team members.
Sleeping while sitting was better than lying directly on the cold ground.
As for Zhang Chen's group, Mo Ran directly wove a soft and huge net in the air and was the first to jump onto it.
Zhang Chen and the others followed.
Zhang Chen slept in the middle, with Mo Ran and Xiaobai on his left, and Angelina and Zhang Wenwen on his right.
The middle of the large net had no support point, so people on both sides would be squeezed towards Zhang Chen.
At first glance, it looked like four girls were hugging Zhang Chen like a moon surrounded by stars.
Tang Xiaoen sat in his chair, looking at Zhang Chen, surrounded by beautiful women in the sky, his heart filled with mixed emotions...
The next day, after Zhang Chen and the others woke up, they took out the well-cooked steaks, hot milk, and bread they had prepared earlier from their rings and ate together.
They cleaned up.
After another ten minutes or so, Lu Xuefeng rushed over with a hurried expression.
He first looked left and right to confirm no one was around, then walked into the cinema and took out a large bag of loose, hardened biscuits from his ring, smiling as he said to everyone:
"This is my private stash of food. I always secretly save a little bit every time food is distributed, for emergencies!"
"But now that you're here, I don't have much to entertain you with, so I can only bring out all my savings. I hope you don't mind!"
Zhang Wenwen looked at the biscuits in the bag. They came in all sorts of styles: with filling, in animal shapes, round ones, and even a few pieces of dried bread broken by hand.
From such a diverse range of food, it was evident that Lu Xuefeng had saved them bit by bit from each food distribution.
"Well, thank you."
Zhang Wenwen reached out and put the biscuits into her ring.
Although these foods were incomparable to Zhang Chen's supplies, it was still Lu Xuefeng's gesture of kindness.
Zhang Wenwen would not take out other food to show off at this moment. Respecting her subordinates was the utmost priority.
As expected, when Lu Xuefeng saw Zhang Wenwen put the biscuits away, his face immediately broke into a happy smile, and he said:
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the leader of the camp now. I heard there's a sacrificial ceremony today, and they'll bring out the flying vehicle."
"However... the leader of the camp is also a follower of the gods' cult, and may not be particularly friendly towards our True God Cult... but you don't need to worry, I can help communicate, and you just have to endure it for a bit. I'm already used to it here!"
"Mm, thank you for your trouble!" Zhang Wenwen nodded.
Everyone followed Lu Xuefeng through damp and cold corridors, taking many turns before finally reaching the camp via a flight of moss-covered stairs.
Due to the shade of the giant trees, the light was still somewhat dim even though it was daytime.
The ground was covered with many strange-looking ferns, and by the corners of the walls, one could see mushrooms as tall as a person.
Although it was very damp here, and long-term living would be bad for health, it was much better than being discovered by monsters.
Therefore, the people living here in the camp did not feel anything inappropriate.
When they saw Zhang Chen and the others, as well as Er Pang and Ao Xue, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
It wasn't just because it had been a long time since any survivors had actively sought them out, but more importantly, Zhang Chen had four beautiful women behind him, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with good skin, completely unlike the sun-weathered, hungry, and cold, dark and thin appearance of the people in the camp.
It was as if five nobles had arrived in a slum, instantly becoming the most dazzling existences here.
Tang Xiaoen and the others quickly put on gloves, trying their best to prevent people from realizing they were natives.
They also knew they were unwelcome and could only keep their heads down. Fortunately, everyone was attracted by Zhang Chen's group, and they only saw Tang Xiaoen and the others as followers, without paying much attention.
Lu Xuefeng, with his "fellow believers" from Zhang Chen's group by his side, had more confidence as he strode towards the sacrificial altar.
That was the only place in the entire camp that received sunlight.
On the sacrificial altar, there was a giant flying vehicle.
"Aerial Fortress? I didn't expect to see this big guy!"
Tang Xiaoen quickly walked behind Zhang Chen and said softly.
"Can it take us to the lighthouse?"
Zhang Chen asked in a low voice.
"Absolutely no problem, over 4500 kilometers, it will take about 4-5 hours to arrive!"
"And it can accommodate 100 people, entirely powered by crystal cores, and it was a superweapon built by the military in the early days of the apocalypse."
"The only drawback is that the flying vehicle itself has no anti-air weapon systems, making it vulnerable to ambushes by airborne monsters..."
"But with you here... I believe those won't be issues."
Tang Xiaoen quickly flattered Zhang Chen.
The lighthouse was in sight, and he would soon reunite with the main force. Finally, he wouldn't have to live in constant fear following Zhang Chen!
"High Priest... these are my fellow believers... we have something we'd like to ask for your help..."
Lu Xuefeng looked at the little man with a mustache preparing things on the stage and pleaded softly.
"Hm? Xuefeng ah... what? Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to abandon your false god and embrace the gods' cult?"
"Are these friends of yours also planning to abandon the darkness and seek the light?"
The High Priest tilted his head and looked at Lu Xuefeng from his nostrils.
"That..."
Before Lu Xuefeng could speak, Zhang Wenwen stepped forward and said solemnly:
"On the contrary, on behalf of the True God Cult, we hope that you will realize your mistakes and accept our salvation!"
