When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.
Countless mutated...
Chapter 374 393. Ceremony
Xu Zhi did not rush to test it, but waited for the rest of the clan to reunite with her first. She needed the cat's ability to better "sneak in", and she also needed two clan members to increase her strength.
After all, this place doesn't look simple at first glance, and the garrison inside should be quite powerful.
After all, the level of danger and temptation in the Lost Land increases as you go deeper. At this point, almost no weaker transcendents can reach here.
Once promoted to the Nominal Land, almost all extraordinary people will choose to go to the Lost Land. In the Lost Land, the rarest ones are actually the weak extraordinary people. The deeper you go, the more you can see powerful people who are rarely seen in the outside world.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that when there are traces of what seems to be frequent human activities suddenly appearing in such a location, the people who can gather here are definitely not simple.
The fact that Xiao Zhen was discovered immediately further indicated that there was someone nearby who was always on guard.
"Wait a minute."
Once all her family members return to her, she will have the confidence to find out the truth.
Fortunately, none of her clansmen had drifted to the depths of the Lost Lands, but were all in the middle area. Otherwise, she would not be able to wait for them in a short time.
While waiting for his clan to reunite with him, Xu Zhi paid more attention to the progress of the spiritual body.
Just as she had planned, the spirit body followed the priest and "joined" another [Cup] attribute sect in the industrial zone. This sect was obviously much larger, with the number of members having expanded to about thirty.
Over the past few days, Linghu has already reached the decision-making level of the new church. Of course, this is also because her strength is outstanding enough. As for the original priest, he can obviously no longer maintain the dignity of a priest in the new church and can only follow Xu Zhi and become a younger brother.
However, no matter how united the extraordinary people with the [Cup] attribute are, they will still have their own selfish desires and factions. Although the industrial zone did not reject the surrender of Xu Zhi and others, it also split into different factions. Xu Zhi and the priest and others are obviously "outsider factions."
Xu Zhi didn't care much about these internal intrigues. The only thing she cared about was that among the nearly forty believers in the industrial zone, including those who had come to seek refuge, and several new members who had converted in the past few days, none of them had shown the kind of irrational state that people in the federation had.
Although some of them have lower IQs, they can still understand what people say. At first glance, they are not much different from ordinary people.
But a cult of forty people actually lived quite comfortably in the industrial zone without causing any panic, and they had already killed at least twenty people.
Even if there are tens of thousands of people working in this industrial zone, it is not a reason for the [Cup] attribute cult to be able to fish in troubled waters and live so comfortably.
Xu Zhi guessed that the supervision of the [Cup] at the grassroots level was too weak.
But no matter how low it is, it is still a bit strange to be so careless.
Now the whole world is on alert because of the revival of the [Cup], so why does Liancheng seem to be completely unaware of it?
But such an attitude is indeed conducive to the expansion of the Cup. Almost every day, this small cult will add a few new members, and hunt those workers who are usually unknown, have few friends and are alone, kill them and make their blood into food to convert new members.
"Strange! Why hasn't the fog settled yet? It's been almost half a year, hasn't it?"
On this day, some believers were somewhat puzzled by the recent weather forecast.
His words drew the approval of the other believers beside him: "That's right, I hadn't noticed it before you mentioned it. Why is there such a long gap this time?"
"Before that, it was only three months at most, right?"
"Will there be no more fog?!"
Xu Zhi listened to the conversation between the few people in her heart, thinking secretly that it would not be a good thing if the fog did not come again. She was very curious about the fog in Liancheng.
However, after counting the changes that have taken place in recent days, Xu Zhi had a vague premonition in his heart that perhaps the fog would not stop falling, but it had not fallen for some reason.
Perhaps, when the fog descends again on Liancheng, some big changes will occur.
"Never mind that. Haven't you prepared today's prey yet? The ceremony will begin in a while."
Someone was impatient, and then a lower-ranking believer hurriedly replied, "This time, the prey has a heart problem. The mechanical device and other organs are installed, so it's really a bit troublesome to handle it without damaging other internal organs."
In this world where almost everyone has prosthetics, although they are neither doctors nor mechanics, they are already familiar with dealing with prosthetics, but they are still a little stretched when faced with such tricky things.
"The cult's influence has been slowly seeping into the workers. More and more workers are aware of our cult. It's impossible to keep it a secret from the guards and factory owners."
At tonight's rally, some raised concerns.
Although all kinds of strange beliefs emerge in places like the grassroots, in general factories, factory managers are not happy to see the emergence of such a cohesive belief.
Once the management staff sent people to intervene, they would most likely discover something wrong with the cult, and if reported, they would definitely be liquidated.
"Why don't we take the initiative and make the factory managers part of our team?"
This proposal was quickly recognized by other high-ranking members of the cult present. Afterwards, this group of [Cups] carefully planned how to build a flesh and blood factory belonging to the [Cup] after the factory managers became their own people.
A week later, Xu Zhi's body was still waiting in the Lost Land, while his spirit body watched the cult grow stronger. It attacked the factory manager as it wished and successfully assimilated him.
Seeing that things were progressing faster and faster, after assimilation of the manager, luckily the manager was a believer of a slightly higher level, and some of his brain had been preserved. With his help, other factory management classes were assimilated quickly one after another. It was estimated that if this continued for less than a month, there would be a [Cup] attribute cult with a scale of a thousand people here.
Now, seeing that the sect is growing and has grown to 300 people, the highest-ranking believers have gathered together to discuss that it is time to hold a large ceremony.
"We need stronger companions and need to talk to the Lord again to guide us in the direction of progress."
"Now it's time to decide who will receive the ceremony."
They looked at each other and could see greed in each other's eyes.
A ritual will inevitably consume a large amount of materials and the vitality of low-level believers. This is the only chance in a short period of time.
Suddenly, Xu Zhi, who had been silent the entire time, controlled his spirit body and raised his hand to remove his black hood, revealing his scarlet eyes and long hair. He looked directly at his fellow humans and said, "I'll do it."
When someone asked why, Xu Zhi replied directly: "I will kill whoever gets there before me."
