"Chainsaw Head, are you sure that group of scavengers are on the top of this hill?"
"Damn it, are those losers in this wilderness full of food?"
Sweating profusely, it’s afternoon.
Although the sun has gradually set, the air in the afternoon seems to be more turbid. Close to the wild mountains, the scorching air is as hot as a sauna.
Six or seven gang members armed with homemade weapons looked at the mountains with the setting sun in the distance, and couldn't help but curse and complain.
"Damn it, if you come out this far and don't get something good, I'll cut the chainsaw off your head!"
Walking in the front, a first-level awakened person holding a mace cursed and kicked the chainsaw head next to him.
Nodding and bowing, the skinny man known as Chainsaw Head pointed to the distance in a flattering manner and said quickly:
"Lord Haman! This is definitely true! Look at the blood on the ground! And our people also watched those guys coming towards us."
"Fire Wolf also said that they overheard that this group of scavengers were coming here to perform some kind of ghost ritual!"
"Believe me! There is definitely something wrong with those people!"
"You're so fucked up!"
"Do you think I really want that piece of garbage in their hands!?"
"Oh, Fire Wolf and the others have already robbed it once, right?"
"Don't think that I don't know what that guy Fire Wolf is planning!"
With a sneer, the leader Haman waved the mace in his hand, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his right hand.
That's right.
As a first-level awakened person, he may not be ranked high in the entire safe zone, but among the bottom survivors, he is a real big shot!
A being like him would naturally not care about the "dog food" spoken by these scavengers!
Especially one that was robbed once!
"Go back and tell Fire Wolf that if this group of people is really suitable, I will not lose his share of the money."
"Isn't that kid just afraid of death, and he thinks he won't be able to get a share of the money by telling Old Haka and those people?"
As if he could see through the chainsaw head's thoughts at a glance, Haman took a sip of saliva and wiped it on his smooth forehead to cool down.
In the morning, Fire Wolf suddenly came over and told him that there were a group of idiots here who were very suitable for religious sacrifices, and his heart suddenly moved.
There is no other reason.
Just about two or three days ago, the top figures in the security zone seemed to have received some order. First, they asked for an internal investigation of abnormal people, who looked like Asians.
Second, the largest church in the safe zone and the most terrifying one, the Truth Religion, suddenly demanded the arrest of more heretics.
It is said that this is to launch a new round of sacrifices to welcome the real gods in the legend!
Of course, in the second half, Haman only felt that it was fart, that is, the high-level fools were brainwashing the people.
"Pagan, black-eyed, Asiatic."
"Oh, I just got all the requirements!"
Licking the corner of his mouth in excitement, Haman waved his hand and asked the team members to follow.
He didn't care if the black-eyed guy in this group of people who called themselves Ling'an Church was Asian. Even if he was from another race, he would arrest him as an Asian! Especially heretics, they are all fucking cults, but other sects have awakened people behind them, but not this new sect. Persimmons only look for soft ones, and Haman just thinks that today is his lucky day!
After a while, following the blood stains on the ground, Haman saw a large area of trampled weeds.
Standing at a slightly higher place and looking carefully, everyone's eyes suddenly flashed with joy!
It’s really here!
I could only see the broken stone towers set up in a relatively flat place on the hilltop not far away. If you look carefully, you can even see the scavengers kneeling on the ground.
One, two, three...ten...nineteen!
After a rough count, a cruel look appeared on the corner of Haman's mouth.
Nineteen people! This group of scavengers was not valuable before, but they are valuable now!
With a big wave of his hand, everyone looked at each other with understanding, then silently surrounded him.
They are not good at killing zombies and monsters, but they are very skilled at catching people!
"Be careful! Don't kill me too many!"
Looking at the scavengers who were so stupid that they seemed to be kneeling down in a pious manner, Haman felt extremely ridiculous.
This group of most useless idiots want to believe in those powerful sects. According to Fire Wolf, this sudden church is made up of ordinary people! Among them, the guy who plays the priest is a loser who can be kicked to death!
A minute later, when the siege was formed, Haman felt even more disdainful after seeing the ridiculous behavior of the scavengers lying in the stone pile like corpses.
What are you doing? Bury yourself and pretend to be dead! ?
Ling'an? Peace of soul? It's really appropriate to pretend to be dead and shut up...
After cautiously sensing the atmosphere, he made sure that there was no awakened person. Huck couldn't hold it in any longer and simply rushed forward with a loud shout.
"It's all him, kneel down!"
"Kneel down if you don't want to die!"
A bang!
In an instant, Huck and others rushed out and surrounded Lin An and others with grinning faces and waving weapons.
Waving the sword and gun in his hand, it looked like he was planning to kill someone first to establish his authority!
It's just different from what I imagined that this group of scavengers and the people pretending to be a church would scream in fear.
After Huck and others rushed out, the scavengers kneeling on the ground did not react at all, as if they were turning a blind eye to the danger behind them.
In fact, the prayers they kept whispering suddenly sped up and became somewhat fanatical!
"OurFatherinheavenhallowedbeyourname! Peace of mind! Peace of mind!!!"
This is! ?
Haka was startled.
Listening to the rising and even distorted tone of voice in my ears. For some reason, he actually heard a hint of evil in these prayers.
Feeling nauseous and vomiting.
I don’t know why there is something divine about this evil intention!
Such a strange scene suddenly stunned everyone.
"What are they doing!?"
"Get up! Get the hell up! No more reading!"
"Chainsaw head! Drag them out! Drag out those people lying inside!!"
Things are getting worse.
Haman suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and even screamed in fear.
No matter how slow he reacted, he suddenly realized that something was too evil here! They all came to kill! But these scavengers seemed to be completely immersed in prayer, and the three people lying in the stone pile were completely motionless!
And the prayers that kept raising the tone made him feel panic from the bottom of his heart.
This sect...has a problem! !
At the same time, almost everyone noticed something was wrong.
"boom!!"
As if to vent his uneasiness, the chainsaw head ordered by Haman kicked Shi Lei in a panic, while others tried to pull up the scavengers who were kneeling on the ground in a circle.
However, before they could pull up the first person, two slight pops suddenly sounded amidst the clatter of the stone being kicked down.
I saw that my right foot was still in the kicking position.
In the eyes of Harman and others, the chainsaw head seemed to be frozen at this moment, motionless. When he subconsciously looked down, his feet that were originally lying in the stone had disappeared.
This is..!?
"Gudu...Gudu..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
In an instant, there was the sound of the flesh being torn apart alive.
The chainsaw man who was locked in place screamed miserably.
On both sides of his ribs, two blades that looked like human hands penetrated his chest at some point.
Slowly exerting force, as if to separate pork, forcefully pulled his chest apart from both sides!
And in front of him, there was an Angus with dull eyes, his jaw wide open to his chest when he opened his mouth!
"Crack!"
Blood splashed, and the sweet flesh and blood exploded instantly like juice.
After biting the chainsaw man's upper body into pieces, the devil-like Angus shook his body stiffly and turned to look at Haman and the others.
At this moment, Angus looked like a smiling corpse. The originally severed arm had been replaced by two blades, as if spliced together, strange and ferocious.
His eyes were dull and empty, and their original brown pupils had been replaced by a black halo.
Looking at each other, they were like the black sun, revealing endless evil.
Seeing Angus staggering towards him, Haman and others suddenly screamed in fright.
monster! This is a monster! !
There are monsters here! !
Subconsciously, before Haman could scream and try to escape, a sudden surge of mental power suddenly pulled him back!
"Now that you're here...don't leave..."
"Wow!"
The sound of a stone being pushed down.
Behind him, Lin An climbed up from the stone and spoke with a weak voice.
In his eyes, a black sun that was also full of supreme meaning was magnifying infinitely.
"Eat them all..."
The words fell.
In an instant, the other scavengers who were kneeling suddenly turned their heads, and the black sun was full of enthusiasm.
Like Angus, more than half of the scavengers were like evil ghosts, opening their mouths and biting Haman and others in an instant.
.......
Three minutes later.
Lin An looked at the minced meat on the ground and the large number of scavengers kneeling in front of him, and slowly raised his right hand.
As he mobilized his mental power, he saw a leftover eyeball slowly rotating in his palm.
"So...is this the power of faith..."
"boom!"
With a slight exertion, the black mental power exploded instantly, crushing the eyeballs immediately.
Feeling the extra strength in his body, Lin An couldn't help laughing and turned to look at the safe zone in the distance.
Yes.
After transforming Angus and others into "monsters", he also transformed himself into a monster without hesitation.
Although it was far from a mutation, the power he absorbed from the sun immediately allowed him to regain some strength.
Especially when he regained his strength, Lin An realized, or understood, the essence of faith.
"It's hatred, it's revenge, it's the secondary feedback of gaining strength after giving everything!"
Lin An turned his head slightly and looked at Angus, who was standing next to him and had the highest degree of conversion.
When Angus was dying, he chose to send him into the pyramid with the highest concentration of energy.
Sure enough, under conditions similar to the transformation of a Sunwalker, Angus began to mutate at an extremely fast speed. Although the strength is far less powerful than the original Sun Walker. But there is no problem against a second-level player.
Of course, the price is that Angus has lost his mind, or in other words, when he was near death, the last obsession he chose to leave behind was revenge.
It was also at the moment when Angus' transformation was successful that Lin An suddenly felt a familiar power mixed with Angus's memory sink into his body.
Different from the power of faith absorbed in the past, it is short-lived and nihilistic.
This time, Lin An actually felt as if the power of faith had taken root in his body.
"Because I was regarded as the being who gave me strength, after gaining the hope of revenge, all the spiritual power turned into the most extreme belief, and finally converted into the power of faith..."
"so.."
"The power of faith is not about showing miracles, or God personally taking action to gain the power of faith."
"But it gives strength to believers, allowing believers to strengthen their beliefs while constantly killing, and finally feeds back to me..."
Instantly connecting the religious classics he had read together, Lin An finally understood why the so-called gods in those myths and legends always set off divine wars. But divine wars, in the battle to exterminate pagans, , the gods never take action personally.
Even Lin An didn't expect that in human history, the secret of faith has been hidden for a long time.
But after thinking about the group of escapees, Lin An was not surprised.
However, whether it was after condensing a trace of faith or using the sun to restore some special spiritual power, Lin An also realized the drawbacks.
"Absorbing the beliefs of fanatics will also "absorb" the fragments of their thinking."
"Hate, killing, resentment, revenge, unwillingness..."
"These emotions and fragments are fine if they are accumulated in small amounts. Once the number becomes too large, I'm afraid it will directly affect my thinking."
Recalling the first time he entered the fifth-level state, Lin An also understood why he completely lost himself at that time.
Under the impact of a large number of emotions, memories, and beliefs, he really couldn't bear it at that time.
"So, the essential difficulty in breaking through the fifth level through faith lies in having enough fanatical believers and having a consciousness strong enough to withstand everyone's pain and negative thinking!"
"The King of Alien Species can't do it, probably because the negative emotions of the alien species are too high. If he dares to absorb it, he will die instantly!"
"It's impossible to reshape a race, so he simply went through the place of death battle and used the conversion core to purify similar power!"
"As for the sun..."
Lin An raised his head and looked at the setting sun.
To be honest, he still hasn't figured out what the power in the sun is. Like the subjects of previous experiments, after his first attempt to absorb the power of the sun's "virus", mental power suddenly appeared in his body.
It's just different from his previous pure spiritual power, which seems to be an extension of his own power.
He could feel that this spiritual power had an evil connotation, as if it was alive.
And with this power, he also regained about one level of attack power.
Rationally speaking, Lin An knew very clearly that this power was absolutely dangerous, far more terrifying than the power of faith! This force is essentially a doomsday meme that is suspected of inducing global mutation!
"Are you giving up absorbing..."
"No...it's not enough to just convert Angus and the others!"
"Under the fourth level, I should be able to suppress this power! It will not be completely eroded!"
As if returning to his previous state of pursuing power, Lin An clenched his fists tightly, not intending to stop absorbing.
Now that he has chosen to give up hiding and waiting, he will do everything possible to strengthen himself!
In particular, this hidden danger should not be enough to have a big impact on him.
In Lin An's eyes, the Savior System, which had disappeared as if dead, had reappeared vaguely.
"Hey, absorb the power of faith, the system is restarting at an accelerated pace."
"Current restart progress: 6.1%..."
"More strength..more faith.."
"Then.."
"Come again!"
