Zhang Chen came to understand after thinking about it for a while.
The old man of the Liu family believed in the Church of Dark Night, and these core members must have been brainwashed to believe in the gods' rhetoric.
In the previous life, if I had not been treated as a guinea pig, I would have believed in the rhetoric about gods saving the world.
Show great power, shape yourself into a god, spread beliefs, win over people's hearts, exploit and enslave survivors with the will of gods.
This set of things has started now, but it is not yet mature.
I just happened to get a good deal.
"May I have your name."
Zhang Chen pointed to the first person to kneel down.
"Reporting to the gods, the villain's name is He Chen."
The young man knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
"Okay, you convey the order for me, gather everyone together, and inform us of the current situation."
"Clean this place and leave the crystal core."
Zhang Chen said casually.
This He Chen is also an extraordinary person, and he can kneel down faster, which is theoretically enough to complete the task.
If it cannot be completed, it can only be said that the level is not good enough, and it will be better to find someone else.
He didn't care.
In itself, he was initially prepared to kill everyone.
Now I have the opportunity to recruit others, which is an unexpected blessing.
"Thank you, sir. I promise to complete the mission."
He Chen was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him profusely.
As for the others, they didn't react and acquiesced to the order, especially those who had just taken action and participated in the death of the Liu family and his son.
They have no other way out now except following Zhang Chen.
The rest of them didn't dare to refute.
Zhang Chen's simple execution of the Liu family's father and son had already made people's hearts split.
Not to mention, they have experienced each other's fear firsthand.
He can drive his companions crazy at any time, and God knows if he is the one being controlled.
How could it be possible to resist with such ability.
"Don't let me down."
Soon the room was cleared.
Zhang Chen came to the desk and sat down, looking through various things, looking for the information he wanted.
Soon, his eyes were attracted by the black notebook with the book cover.
This pattern was too familiar to him.
With anxiety, Zhang Chen opened his notebook.
Compared with the information obtained before, this is obviously much more specific, and even has the origin of the Church of Dark Night.
According to records, the Church of the Dark Night had its prototype a long time ago, and it was not until the Middle Ages that it was officially renamed the Church of the Dark Night.
They study various extraordinary events and try to find the way to become gods.
According to the analysis of the Church of Dark Night, those heroes and legendary gods in history who have accomplished inhuman feats are most likely extraordinary beings.
This was completely verified when a witch appeared in the Middle Ages.
It can be said that all actions of the Church of Dark Night come from the words of this witch.
She left many prophecies, mainly patterns and simple characters.
These include actual disasters, deaths of great people who influenced the direction of history, and even a bitten apple with wealth written on the back.
"real or fake?"
Zhang Chen felt his scalp numb as he looked at the contents of the notebook.
I have never heard of a prophecy type of extraordinary being, but I have never seen one.
But this book is indeed a bit evil.
To say that it is far-fetched, the things are indeed correct and can be explained.
To say it was a prophecy, there was no clear instruction, so it was all guesswork.
Of course, it is also possible that what Liu Yunxiao got was incomplete.
"The Church of Dark Night still has something."
Zhang Chen looked at the last pattern on the notebook thoughtfully.
With ten years of experience in the apocalypse, he could tell at a glance that it was a diagram of the evolution patterns of zombies.
From the first level zombie to the last level nine zombie king.
Behind the Corpse King, there was another vague pattern. He didn't know what it was.
"It does make sense."
Zhang Chen frowned.
This harvest cannot be said to be nothing, but it can explain the behavioral logic of the Church of Dark Night.
To put it bluntly, it's a guessing game.
There are crystal nuclei, doomsday scenes, evolution, and more parts that have not been cracked, and there are even many strange plants and animals.
He knew that it would only appear after the extremely cold weather.
"It seems that traces of them can be found here."
Zhang Chen put down his notebook and picked up a dark object the size of a fingernail, which looked like part of a mushroom.
He knows this thing.
Later generations were called devil mushrooms. Whether they are zombies, ordinary people, or extraordinary people, after taking them, they can stimulate their potential and burst out with powerful power.
But then the body will rapidly fail, requiring extraordinary energy replenishment to relieve it.
Even then, there will be a period of weakness.
To put it simply, it is a short-term explosion.
In his previous life, he heard that it was because of a riot. It was said that devil mushrooms grew in the sewers and were more than a hundred meters in size.
For unknown reasons, it was taken by a large number of zombies and almost destroyed the entire city.
It was also after that that there were only nine survivor bases left in Tongcheng, and their status was unassailable.
"It seems that they should have found the location of the devil mushroom based on the prophecy. This is a plant that mutated before the extreme cold."
Zhang Chen was thoughtful.
There is no reason not to take a look at this kind of thing, and save it for the Church of Dark Night.
He was silently calculating his next action goal in his mind.
After getting the note, his fear of the Church of Dark Night was greatly reduced.
Now the other party is not the mysterious organization with countless believers and powerful people in my memory.
They are also exploring and developing.
He is not bad, he is even slightly ahead.
Now that he has the notes in hand, he can use his memory to decipher some content faster and take action in advance.
Not to mention the distance, at least the three-thirds of an acre in Tongcheng must not be occupied by the Church of the Dark Night.
"Sir, sir, everything is ready."
Just then, the sound of footsteps came.
He Chen stood at the door and whispered.
"good."
Zhang Chen stood up, preparing to get these people first.
There is no labor force that cannot be used. If it cannot be used, it can be kept as puppets and used as cannon fodder.
Now, with several places to explore, there is a lack of consumables.
"Sir, there are currently 323 survivors in the building, including 16 extraordinary people. In terms of supplies, there are about 30 tons of food, fuel..."
He Chen took the initiative to introduce various data, and it was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort.
Zhang Chen nodded slightly.
It can be seen that the Liu family has been collecting supplies such as fuel and building materials, obviously preparing for the establishment of a base in the future.
In comparison, the food reserves are not much.
In other words, they should have other ways to get food.
"By the way, I heard that the Liu family would collect beautiful women to offer to a certain existence?" Zhang Chen suddenly thought of another thing.
Theoretically, there may be a higher-level member of the Church of the Dark Night here.
"I don't know about this." He Chen answered honestly, "Every time, those women would go directly into the old man's room and never come out again."
Zhang Chen nodded and did not press.
This kind of thing involves core secrets, so it is understandable that the minions are not clear about it.
Anyway, the place has been occupied. Slowly investigating will eventually make it clear.
When people come, they will definitely leave traces.
