Lu Yuanming followed Father Edward and his party to the bank.
The entire bank still looks dilapidated from the outside, but it can be seen that the entire bank has indeed been renovated.
Many metal plates have been installed on the bank's damaged outer wall, and even now there are several people working on the wall, trying to insert more metal plates into some holes.
I have to say that this bank is indeed a very good base. Although it is not perfect, there is a vault inside as a final refuge. The building structure outside is also considered strong. As long as it is reinforced, there will be enough firearms and ammunition. , even if the giant spider and the giant human-faced dog attack, they probably won't be able to break through the outer wall of the bank.
At this time, the personnel monitoring the surrounding area outside the bank had discovered Father Edward and his party. They shouted loudly, and some people ran to the inside of the bank, while others ran to where everyone was.
Not long after, nearly a hundred people ran out from inside the bank. They ran excitedly towards Lu Yuanming and his party. Naturally, the leaders were Kesuen, Peter, Ang and others who thought they were Lu Yuanming's disciples, followed closely behind. The ones who came were a few strong men, especially the man with a gloomy face, and then the rest of the people who were rescued.
As soon as Peter, Ang, Martha and other disciples ran to Lu Yuanming, they immediately knelt down and recited the Lord's mercy loudly. The Lord did not abandon their words. Although C'suen did not kneel down, his face was excited. He said respectfully: "Sir, have you come back from the mortal world?"
Lu Yuanming immediately went to help Peter and the others up. At the same time, he smiled and nodded at C'Thun and said, "Well, I'm back."
At this time, the gloomy-looking man immediately walked up the first few steps: "Mr. Lu, have you gained the power of faith?"
Lu Yuanming looked at Father Edward, and Father Edward said: "This is Charlie Luci, a leader of the New York Mafia. He intends to join our Messiah to save...the Comintern's afterlife column, but the condition is You must first confirm the identity of the Lord.”
Lu Yuanming ignored Father Edward's pained expression. He said to Charlie straightforwardly: "I am not a god, and I have nothing to do with any god. I am just an ordinary human being who has fallen into this afterlife. Firstly, In order to protect myself, and secondly, in order to save some people who can be saved and do something within my ability, I just stood up. Don't worry about these fanatic believers, I am definitely not a god!"
The corner of Charlie's mouth twitched. In fact, during the eighteen days when Lu Yuanming was away, he had already learned many things about Lu Yuanming from Father Edward and others, as well as from quiet inquiries and from several female disciples, including That speech was said to be outrageous, and he forcibly changed the name of the Messiah Salvation Society, etc.
All these things are beyond Charlie's cognition. As a leader of the New York Mafia, he has seen too many struggles of human nature, the darkness at the bottom of the world, and as a leader has to deal with high-level people, he is also familiar with the darkness at the top. ...It is not that there is no light and justice, but compared to the darkness of mankind as a whole, that light and justice are insignificant.
Because of this, Charlie truly knows how powerful power and desire are for human beings. Let’s not talk about others, just talk about himself. Once he gains power within the mafia, he will never give it up. If he has the opportunity, he will To reach a high position, he would lie and kill without hesitation, which is why Lu Yuanming's choice made him find it difficult to understand.
Even if he is not the real Messiah, but has the ability to obtain and use the power of faith, and can travel between the mortal world and the afterlife as a living person, everyone will subconsciously think that this is the Messiah, Lu Yuanming He could really do whatever he wanted, but he chose to tell the truth and put aside religious power to engage in co-production and the like. This was really something Charlie couldn't understand.
Lu Yuanming continued at this time: "This time I returned to the living world, my soul body became stronger again. Relying on this stronger soul, I tried to move my fingers, which made my parents, doctors and nurses People thought that I might soon wake up from the vegetative state, and this behavior brought thirty-one power of faith. It seems that this power of faith is not necessarily burning paper money or offering sacrifices to the dead. The most important thing is a strong Emotions and wishes are indeed in line with the word faith. Everyone, we now have thirty-one powers of faith. How to use them, we need to make a plan."
Father Edward immediately began to recite passages in the Bible that glorified God, and the other disciples also recited praises of the Lord and Jesus. Although the rest of the people did not know what was happening, they followed the most important members of the team. The leader began to praise the Lord and Jesus, and naturally they all knelt down to praise.
Lu Yuanming was angry and anxious and kept helping these people up, and loudly said that he was just an ordinary person, and his life would be shortened if so many people knelt down. Charlie and his younger brothers looked on with cold eyes. , each showing a weird and weird expression.
At this time, Charlie suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, can you use the power of faith to make things now? I want to confirm something... Actually, Mr. Lu doesn't need to be so angry. This faith, this religion is our culture , I have learned about China. You abandoned religion and belief thousands of years ago. Although there are sacrifices and so-called righteous gods, you believe in your patriarch more. Oh, you call him the emperor, but this is yours. Culture, and God, Jesus Christ, these are our culture, they have already been integrated into our flesh and blood souls, you really don’t need to laugh at us.”
After Lu Yuanming heard what Charlie said, he looked at Charlie in surprise for a while, and then he had to admit that what Charlie said was indeed the truth.
This is a cultural difference. Just like when Lu Yuanming was still in college, he once saw people’s arguments on some online platforms. Some people thought that countries other than country Z were terrible. They were already in the 21st century and were still full of religions. Thinking, if they encounter difficulties, they will only ask God to pray. Don’t they all have the determination and perseverance to use their own hands and strength to solve problems?
Another group of people think that country Z is terrible because country Z has no faith, and without faith, there is no bottom line for being a human being, etc. This is an argument that no one can convince, and it is a cultural difference.
Lu Yuanming immediately apologized sincerely to everyone: "Yes, this is a cultural difference. I'm sorry, I took it too much for granted."
At this time, C'Thun was standing next to him with a smile and said: "You don't have to apologize. We all know that your idea is to hope that we can control our own destiny without having to turn our energy to the ethereal gods. Such thoughts and practices are Doing good for us is also the best way to continue in this apocalypse, but you may not know that if we have beliefs that can be seen and verified, it will make us more courageous and unafraid of sacrifice. Let go of all grudges and the past, and unite loyally around the existence we believe in, and this... is what you bring to us now, whether this organization is called the Messiah Salvation Society, or you call it the afterlife of the Communist International The columns all have different names, but their essence is to save us all."
Father Edward also said at the same time: "It is precisely because of the miracle of the five loaves and two fishes, and precisely because the Lord walks in the world of the afterlife and the world of the living, that I firmly believe that you are the son of the Lord and the Holy Son of the Trinity. , is the Messiah who saves us in the apocalypse. This is not even subject to your will, because this is the only core that we can unite with. Otherwise... the people here actually don't obey anyone, except to use violence to Everyone is integrated, and then with murder and ugliness, we have no second choice, and this is our end."
(...As expected, there is still too little labor, and they all need to undergo intensive labor reform.)
Lu Yuanming sighed and did not continue to struggle in this regard. He looked at Charlie and said: "I can use the power of faith now, but I can't use it casually. What do we need in the base now? What else do we need? Food? Fresh water? Or ammunition?"
"Of course it's ammunition!" Charlie said immediately before anyone spoke: "We only have eleven pistol bullets left. In these eighteen days, we found six other weapons, but we were suffering from no bullets. , those who murdered John were members of the MXG gang, and they threatened us several times with the power of rifles, so what we are in urgent need of now is not food and fresh water, but weapons, weapons that can protect us all."
Lu Yuanming looked at Edward, C'Suen, Peter and others. They all nodded slightly. Then Lu Yuanming said to Charlie: "I understand, then please bring the other six firearms and let me confirm." The ammunition types of those firearms, I immediately used the power of faith to make bullets."
Soon, six weapons were taken out from the bank. The first five weapons were two pistols, two semi-automatic rifles, and a short-range shotgun. These were actually quite normal until Lu Yuanming saw When he reached the last weapon, he kept looking back and forth at the others, as if he was saying are you kidding me with his expression.
This last weapon turned out to be a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, but Lu Yuanming's poor military knowledge could not determine what kind of weapon this rocket launcher was.
A boy next to Charlie watched Lu Yuanming stare at the rocket launcher and was deep in thought. He immediately said excitedly: "Sir, this is the FGM-148 anti-tank missile. The famous Javelin anti-tank missile is very powerful. We can I'm really lucky to have found this weapon, and of course, it would be even better if sir could make the ammunition for this weapon."
Lu Yuanming did not hesitate, and immediately pinched six colorless light particles, and then compared the ammunition in the magazines of these weapons, and began to think about producing the maximum amount of ammunition that matched its original power.
The two pistols produced fifty-six and forty-one bullets respectively. The two semi-automatic rifles were of the same model and produced twenty-nine bullets. The shotgun produced seventeen bullets. The final FGM The -148 anti-tank missile only produced one ammunition.
The people around looked at the translucent white bullets that appeared out of thin air on the ground. They were stunned at first, and then cheered together. Some called God, and some called Jesus Christ. Only Charlie stared deeply at Lu Yuanming, Then when everyone cheered, he actually slowly knelt down.
Lu Yuanming didn't notice this. He looked at the FGM-148 anti-tank missile, and then at the missing missile ammunition. Then he pinched five colorless light particles again, and created five more. Missile ammunition is coming.
After doing all this, Lu Yuanming said seriously to the others: "I heard people say that all fear comes from insufficient firepower. Now... our firepower is enough. Let's go, let's go find those MXG people to settle the score. We Go and avenge John!"
