The rooftop of the office building.
Zhang Chen sat around with Xiao Bai and others, enjoying a barbecue.
Thick slices of snow-white pork sizzled on the grill.
A sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper was added from time to time, and the rich, mellow aroma was instantly released.
Xiao Bai, Er Pang, and Mo Ran lined up obediently, their mouths watering as they watched the greasy, sizzling grilled meat.
Shirley, however, seemed preoccupied. After a long while, she finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Chen,
"Master, the situation ahead is still unclear. Is it really okay for us to be having lunch here... or barbecuing... right now?"
"After all, over a thousand resurrected beings have far exceeded the control of Sister Ruina and the Cleaners."
"What if some of them escape in the chaos? If it were ordinary survivors escaping, it would be fine..."
"But if someone of the level of a camp leader escapes, that would be a huge loss for you! After all, a camp leader usually represents all the supplies and resources of the entire camp..."
Shirley was completely considering the problem from Zhang Chen's perspective, feeling that any less plundered was a loss.
Zhang Chen looked at Shirley with approval and said with a smile,
"If someone really wants to escape, then there's nothing we can do. After all, this city is so big, and humans are intelligent and know how to avoid being tracked by infected beings and other survivors."
"Even if we went, it might not have a good effect."
"What's more, the focus of this battle is not the survivors, but the large number of resurrected beings. I need to eat enough to have the strength to do the next thing, which will be a tough fight!"
As Zhang Chen spoke, he picked up some cooked beef and divided it among them.
Just as he was about to start eating, he suddenly heard voices from not far away.
"Someone's here?"
Xiao Bai's senses were also very sharp. He immediately rushed to the edge of the rooftop.
"Dad, it seems... there's a fat sheep coming to our door!"
At the same time, Matsushita also saw clearly that the person looking at him from the rooftop was a thin little girl!
Matsushita and the others were stunned at first.
He hadn't expected to encounter survivors in this place!
This place had just been swept clean by the resurrected beings.
These survivors were too brave. If there were still a few resurrected beings left, wouldn't they be walking into a trap here?!
But then he thought again.
The resurrected beings had just annihilated the entire camp on Da Island. The sounds of fighting should have been deafening by now. How could these survivors not have received any news?!
Could it be... that they were members of the True God Cult who were controlling the resurrected beings from behind the scenes?!
Thinking of this, Matsushita immediately got excited!
He had originally intended to flee, but unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon the main force of the True God Cult.
Their main force must surely be controlling the resurrected beings to attack other camps. This place was essentially the rear base of the True God Cult.
You attack my home, and I'll attack yours. That's fair!
At this moment, the little girl on the rooftop retracted her head.
A moment later, several figures appeared at the edge of the rooftop.
A man, two women, and... a dog?
And... an octopus? And a... doll?!
What in the world were these?
This setup was too ridiculous!
"This... this isn't..."
The staff officer's pupils contracted as he saw this lineup.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Matsushita asked.
"Some people from the True God Cult approached me before and preached about their church."
"They said their church believed in a True God, and that they had a giant wolf by their side, a girl around fifteen or sixteen was the saintess, and a woman was a demon controller who could control infected beings... I originally thought these were all fabricated by them."
"I didn't expect them to be real! Although I don't know what that octopus and doll are, they weren't mentioned in the brochure..."
The staff officer said with a solemn expression.
"What? Are you saying... we've not only found the base camp of the True God Cult members who attacked us, but we've also discovered the entire lair of the True God Cult!?"
Matsushita could hardly contain his excitement, his joy evident!
"Ha, a bunch of idiots, to actually believe in some god... There is no god in this world! Take the so-called giant wolf, for example. Looking at its silhouette, it's clearly just a husky, can it be considered a giant wolf?"
"These are just the True God Cult members catching wind and deliberately beautifying and deifying the results!"
"Today, I will trample their god under my feet, and then send this video to everyone, so that the True God Cult's reputation is completely ruined!"
"This way, I will become the most prestigious existence among the Japanese people!"
"What does it matter if I lose a mere camp of over 2,000 people? Soon I will be able to build another camp of 2,000... no... 20,000, or even over 100,000 people!"
"I will become the King of the Japanese!"
As Matsushita spoke excitedly, he opened his hands and shouted with outstretched arms!
The Japanese people around him listened with growing excitement and passion.
Just as they were all roused and preparing for a great battle.
Suddenly, a slightly impatient voice came from the rooftop:
"What are you yelling about? It's so noisy?! Can't even have lunch in peace?!"
As soon as the voice fell.
A gentle breeze blew past.
Matsushita, the staff officer, and the seventy to eighty Japanese people at the front instantly turned into crystal sculptures.
Then, the sculptures shattered, vaporized, and disappeared...
"This... this is..."
"Everyone died in an instant?!"
"Is this the legendary True God? His power is too terrifying..."
"How... how did he do it? I have no idea what happened!"
"Let's run... Matsushita suffered this fate because he offended God. If we don't run, we'll end up like him..."
The remaining survivors, regardless of their strength, had their morale completely shattered.
They collapsed like a mountain, and everyone scattered.
However, the speed of their scattering was clearly not as fast as the spread of the Ice Crystal Annihilation!
Soon, this wave of survivors all turned into crystal sculptures and then vaporized and disappeared...
Some people even died before they could leave their last words...
"Alright, let's continue eating!"
Zhang Chen glanced at the items in his ring.
This time, it was a great harvest.
Especially after he gained the [Apostle Modification] ability, he could have a certain chance to dismantle skills from survivors with rare talents and monsters with special skills.
Just by killing Matsushita and his group, he had dropped 3 [Unprocessed Energy Cores].
He would see what treasures he could get when he collected them all at the end!
