Chapter 452: The Big Plan

"They won't find us, right?"

"..."

"They're coming to us!"

"..."

"They're knocking on the door! Found!"

"They are going to destroy the gate, open it quickly! The gate is destroyed, we will freeze to death!"

"..."

Seeing the trembling appearance of the group of people in front of him, Wang Tao looked at them with a half-smile.

"You seem to be afraid of us? Do you know who we are?"

"..."

The three people looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

"If you don't speak, you will take it as your acquiescence."

Wang Tao came to a conclusion directly. The man in the middle opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Tao, "What are you doing in there?"

"...Escape!"

The man on the left spoke quickly.

"What are you cooking?"

"...soup! There are tree roots and expired food in it..."

The man on the right replied.

When Wang Tao asked, all three of them answered, but the answers obviously did not satisfy Wang Tao.

Looking at the three men shivering from the cold, Wang Tao said:

"It's so cold outside, why don't you invite us in?"

"this……"

Hearing this, the three people's faces suddenly became very embarrassed. They obviously didn't want to let Wang Tao and his party in, but they didn't dare to refuse directly.

Although these three ordinary people cannot see the strength of Wang Tao and his party, none of them are fools. They can move in such a world of ice and snow. Who would believe that they have no strength? Not to mention, there is a half-human, half-machine "monster" standing behind Wang Tao, and you can clearly see the various firearms mounted on him!

For ordinary people, firearms may be more oppressive than those with supernatural powers. After all, "bullets can kill people" is a deep-rooted thing for many people.

Just when these three people were in a dilemma, a weak voice suddenly came from inside.

"Invite the guests in! Ahem..."

The three people immediately moved out of the way.

Wang Tao winked at the people behind him. A few people stayed outside, and the others followed Wang Tao and walked in.

Although Wang Tao has used his mental strength to look over the situation inside, after all, when going out, he must be vigilant.

The basement was not as dark as expected, because there were three large pots cooking dark things, and the fire under the pots was very strong, lighting up the entire basement.

Several people with yellowish muscles and dirty bodies were leaning against each other, including men, women, and a child over ten years old.

Seeing these beautiful and clean women like Han Rui, they seemed to be very surprised, but they did not dare to look more and lowered their heads.

Wang Tao and others subconsciously covered their noses. The smell here was a bit unpleasant. It was not the smell of these people, but the things boiling in the pot.

A middle-aged man with a thin build and thin hair walked over.

"Ahem, hello! My name is Zhan Xing..."

"I am Wang Tao."

Wang Tao shook his hand briefly.

Zhan Xing is the only second-level superpower in the basement.

"Please forgive the rudeness of my companions. I know that you are not those villains and will not do anything to us. But you also know that in this situation, we are very afraid of strangers..."

Zhan Xing seemed to apologize to Wang Tao, but intentionally or unintentionally gave Wang Tao a "moral kidnapping". Of course, this kind of thing is obviously not very useful, but it is better than nothing...

"It's not easy for you guys to survive in this kind of environment!"

Wang Tao looked around and sighed.

Not only are there zombies, but it's also such a cold weather. Wang Tao originally thought that even if there were people outside, they would be frozen to death, but he didn't expect that there were still people who survived. Moreover, although these ordinary people looked miserable, in fact Their health levels are all healthy, but the only one with superpowers among them only has half health.

"Oh, it's really not easy!"

Zhan Xing also sighed.

Then he looked at Wang Tao and asked with some anxiety:

"I wonder what Mr. Wang needs us to do? As long as we can do it, we will never refuse!"

Zhan Xing knew very well that facing such a group of superpowers, they had no power to resist, so they might as well take the initiative and see what these people wanted to do.

These people are basically ordinary people, and there is nothing valuable here. The only valuable thing may be what is being cooked in the pot... This shouldn't be taken into consideration, right?

Wang Tao did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Do you know who we are?"

This is the question he just asked.

Zhan Xing immediately said:

"At first glance, you are from Changhe Base, right?"

He was actually a little confused. In the current environment, Changhe Base was still letting people come out?

"You know we are from Changhe Base, but you are still so afraid of us?"

Wang Tao asked again.

He could feel that these people were really afraid of them, not only afraid, but also very hostile to him!

Because before opening the door, Wang Tao used his mental power to detect it, and he actually saw the look of despair on the faces of these ordinary people. They even said that they wanted to die together in whispers.

This made Wang Tao very confused. The reputation of Changhe Base is not so bad, right? Even if you are afraid of Changhe Base, you won't think of dying together as soon as you meet?

Could it be that Changhe Base's removal of the Twilight Church in the base was exposed? Let them, the Twilight Church people, share the same hatred?

But the temperature dropped sharply, and it was icy and snowy, so no one left the city. People outside should not know the news that the Twilight Church in the base was eradicated, unless they have a tool like a sensing ring to transmit information!

Or maybe someone from the Changhe Base did something before, which made them suffer and affected the reputation of the Changhe Base...

Wang Tao needs to figure out what's going on.

"Uh, no, no! We are in awe of the strong!"

Zhan Xing waved his hands repeatedly.

Wang Tao didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Zhan Xing's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, but he still didn't change his words.

And the few ordinary people over there lowered their heads, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they were very scared. But Wang Tao could feel that their muscles were tense, ready to pounce on him at any time!

This surprised Wang Tao even more.

He is a fourth-level awakener, and these people are ordinary people who are not even at the first level. This group of ordinary people actually want to besiege him? Who gave them the courage?

"Mr. Wang, don't get me wrong! We haven't seen other people for a long time, and we subconsciously feel scared when we see strangers. After all, in the end times, humans themselves are also a threat, you should know that. Of course, I'm not saying you are a threat, I know you are a good person..."

Zhan Xing continued to explain, and also gave Wang Tao a good person card.

Wang Tao was a little impatient, and he frowned and looked at Zhan Xing.

"We have things to do, and we don't have time to waste with you. Tell me why you are so hostile to me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Xing's face suddenly changed, and the few ordinary people who had been paying attention to the movements here suddenly jumped up and rushed directly towards Han Rui, Jiang Shixue and others.

"Capture them!"

Someone shouted.

Zhan Xing also immediately took out a dagger and stabbed Wang Tao at close range.

Wang Tao didn't make any extra moves, just glanced at Zhan Xing, and Zhan Xing's body suddenly stiffened, and the dagger in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

His eyes were a little out of focus, as if he had lost his soul, and he fell to the ground in a daze.

On the other side, the situation surprised Wang Tao.

These ordinary people rushed towards Han Rui and the other women. Wang Tao thought that Han Rui and the others would be able to subdue them instantly, but they only took two moves to be subdued by Han Rui and the others!

On one side were ordinary people who were not even at the first level, and on the other side were fourth-level awakeners. How could ordinary people survive two moves by awakeners? Although Han Rui and the others did come with the idea of ​​not hurting people's lives, they might have shown some mercy, but they shouldn't have fought back and forth with ordinary people, right? Even if there were only two moves.

"These people are weird! They are so strong, not inferior to second- and third-level superpowers!"

After subduing all these people, Han Rui came to Wang Tao and whispered.

"Oh?"

Wang Tao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they could fight with Han Rui and the others for two moves, but then he was puzzled.

Ordinary people have the physical fitness of superpowers? What's going on?

Wang Tao looked at Zhan Xing, who was lying on the ground and hadn't woken up yet. Wang Tao has tried to use less mental power, but Zhan Xing still can't bear it.

Then Wang Tao looked at the ordinary people who were subdued. They all looked at Wang Tao viciously, including the child, as if they had a deep hatred with Wang Tao.

"Kill us, we won't say anything!"

These people are very tough.

Wang Tao was too lazy to say more and prepared to let Jiang Shixue go.

Jiang Shixue's [Marionette] awakening can make them confess everything. Although it will cause some damage to their bodies, it is their own fault.

Just when Wang Tao was about to let Jiang Shixue take action, he seemed to suddenly think of something, took out a golden square badge from his backpack, and then put it on his chest.

When Wang Tao turned around and revealed the badge on his chest, the subdued people were still ready to continue scolding, but suddenly got stuck.

"You, you..."

"Let's get to know each other again. I'm a senior priest of the Church of Dusk. I've been hiding in the city, so you probably haven't seen me. They're all our own people."

Wang Tao spoke without blushing.

The few people were a little confused. They never thought that Wang Tao was actually a member of the Church of Dusk!

In order to let them see the badge clearly, Wang Tao walked in front of them and asked Xiang Hongbin to let them go.

The few people rubbed their eyes and found that they were not mistaken. This was the badge of the priest of the Church of Dusk, and it was real - they had their own way of judging the authenticity of the badge, and this badge looked real no matter how they looked at it.

"You... I'm sorry!"

After being untied, the few people immediately knelt down in front of Wang Tao.

Wang Tao raised the corner of his mouth.

He just had a sudden idea, thinking about whether he could use the badge of the Church of Dusk to pretend to be a priest of the church. He didn't know whether these people knew this badge, but there was nothing to lose by trying it...but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

Since it's useful, then it's easy to say next.

Wang Tao spoke directly:

"Why are you so hostile to me?"

"No, we are not hostile to you! We are hostile to the people in Changhe Base."

Several people explained.

"Then why are you hostile to the people in Changhe Base? I haven't been out for a long time and haven't had much contact with outsiders."

Wang Tao's reason was a bit lame, but these people believed it. In other words, they never doubt their superiors.

"Because Changhe Base sent people to carry out a large-scale siege against us before, and they wanted to kill us all! Many of our brothers died at the hands of Changhe Base! We have to avenge this..."

Seeing the man's indignant expression, Wang Tao had a question mark on his head.

No, when did Changhe Base send people to encircle and suppress you?

Wang Tao is definitely a senior executive at Changhe Base now. If something like this happens, he will definitely know about it.

And the most important thing is that he destroyed the Dusk Church in the city with his own hands. It was only a few days before the Dusk Church was destroyed, and no one in the city came out except them! So, who went to encircle and suppress them?

Could it be that he recognized the wrong person, or there were some misunderstandings or coincidences?

"Are you a person who has experienced it yourself?"

Wang Tao said doubtfully.

"No, but this matter has been spread throughout the church, and we all know..."

"That's right! My friend lost contact during this battle..."

"..."

When it came to this matter, those people were very excited. Even the teenage boy had hatred shining in his eyes.

"My mother died during the encirclement and suppression!"

"Then you saw it with your own eyes?"

Wang Tao asked immediately.

"No, one of my uncles told me..."

"..."

Wang Tao felt like he understood something, and then he asked again:

"When is the specific time to encircle and suppress you?"

“It started at the end of January and lasted until the snow started!”

Several people answered immediately.

"..."

Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged, but he was speechless in his heart.

Wang Tao has a very vivid memory of this time at the end of January, because it was the first time he encountered a giant eagle.

At that time, after he notified the city hall of the existence of the giant eagle, many people with super powers were afraid to go out. The New Year is just around the corner, and many people simply wait to celebrate the New Year before going out.

And at that time, there was no news about the Twilight Church in the city, and no one knew about the existence of the Twilight Church.

In addition, although the few people in front of me swear by their words, they have not seen it with their own eyes...

Therefore, Wang Tao has reason to suspect that this so-called "encirclement and suppression" and "extermination" are all false and are lies spun by intentional people to arouse their hatred!

As for who this "careful person" is... no need to think about it, he must be a senior member of the Twilight Church.

The Twilight Church incited the survivors outside the city to make them hate the Changhe Base, and then infiltrated the city... The Twilight Church had a big plan!
