Chapter 54 Do gods really exist?
Muddy, messy, dilapidated, dirty, smelly and disorderly.
It's like the poorest slums in China's neighboring country, where Dalits gather.
This was Lu Wenwu's overall impression of the area where giant bones gathered as he walked through the dilapidated houses.
In the gathering place made up of various construction waste and strange materials, pairs of desperate and numb eyes moved slowly, watching this group of people who seemed to have descended from the kingdom of God.
They have no clothes to wear and no food to eat.
The propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame that once existed on this land have long since disappeared.
What replaces it are only the most primitive desires of human beings and the instincts engraved in DNA.
When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette.
When one has enough food and clothing, he will know what honor and disgrace are.
A nuclear war broke out, the world turned into a wasteland, and the brilliant culture created by human civilization was almost extinct on this planet.
Life?
Just survive.
Struggling to survive.
People like Old John are outliers among outliers.
Lu Wenwu didn't understand why, more than 150 years after the apocalypse, humans hadn't been able to rebuild a new wasteland civilization and try to restore their former prosperity.
Try to live like a human being!
Now they are just a group of high-tech primitive creatures that pick up garbage and can only press switches.
The wasteland world had a high level of technology before the nuclear war broke out.
At least it is not lower than the Blue Star in Lu Wenwu's previous life.
Many of the products from the old era that have survived to the present day can be called "high-tech".
A machine that can quickly purify fresh water contaminated with nuclear radiation.
An electromagnetic catapult firearm similar to the Gauss rifle.
There is even a device that can eliminate the contamination of the deformed body and make it edible!
It is hard to imagine that a world that was once so technologically advanced has come to such a state today.
Is it the influence of the so-called gods?
Just as various speculations kept flashing through their minds, they had already met the leader of the giant bone gathering place.
A fourth-level strong man wrapped in unknown animal skin and covered with hard shells all over his body.
In this wasteland, he is already considered a strong man.
Using a large number of weapons from the old era is enough to kill the fifth-level aberration.
But he was not good enough in front of the five-man team.
Anyone except the succubus Kashan can beat her.
"You envoys have come from far away in the kingdom of God, but the God of Natural Salvation is about to descend upon the world once again?"
The burly leader had obviously received the report in advance. He came over quickly and looked at the group with a look of respect mixed with eagerness, without any doubt about their identities.
This is also normal.
With the strength that Lu Wenwu showed at the door, even if he said that he was a demon sent from heaven or the Tai Sui of the world, the leader would have to accept it.
"Don't worry about that for now. We need to understand something first." Anthony, the most friendly, said, "Let your men go out first."
This was something that several people had discussed in advance, disguising themselves as believers in the so-called God of Natural Salvation.
Anthony was responsible for the inquiry, and Lu Wenwu was responsible for the use of force for deterrence.
Originally, Lu Wenwu also wanted to strive for the qualification to communicate with foreign countries.
As a result, not only the old monk Ruhuo, but even the succubus Kashan raised objections with a look of horror.
The matter had to be dropped.
The burly leader was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Everyone get out."
"Brother, this..." A younger brother hesitated to speak.
Lu Wenwu glanced at him and clenched his fist suddenly.
A violent airflow surged out, instantly knocking over the brothers who were on high alert and making them fall unconscious.
"I really want to kill someone, can you stop me? With those antiques over a hundred years old in your hands?" He calmly stated a fact. "I'm just standing here and letting you hit me. Can you break my defense?"
The younger brothers looked at their eldest brother with aggrieved expressions.
After receiving the order again, he reluctantly retreated.
"Please take a seat, my lords."
The burly leader politely invited the others to sit down and personally presented them with five bottles of first-class drinking water condensed from the priest's own supernatural powers.
"I wonder what the envoys would like to know?"
"Well, we're going out this time to compile a chronicle. We'll also visit various places and compile records of the faith each gathering place has in various gods, as a sign of the beginning of the end of the wasteland era," Anthony said with a smile. "So, let's get straight to the point. When did your belief in the Great God of Evolution begin?"
The burly leader pondered for a moment, then replied uncertainly, "It seems... it seems to have existed since the very beginning of the nuclear war. I can't say for sure, but I only know that the Great God of Evolution was the first deity to descend upon the world."
First place?
Anthony's expression froze. "According to the information you received, the Great God of Evolution descended after the nuclear war? Rather than before?"
"I don't know the exact time, but I'm certain of it," the burly man nodded firmly. "According to my grandfather's grandfather, it was the gift of the Great God of Evolution that gave us the power of evolution, allowing us to resist the ubiquitous nuclear radiation and pollution."
Kashan used magic to transmit the message: "It is the truth, the soul is normal."
"Before the Great God of Evolution descended, no one evolved or awakened special abilities?" Anthony continued. "How can you be sure that all this was brought about by the Great God of Evolution, and not caused by natural circumstances?"
"My Lord, I think this question is meaningless! The Great God of Evolution has given everyone, including you and me, the strength and physique to survive in this wasteland. Even if you are not a believer in the Great God of Evolution, you should not slander such a great being!"
Anthony's sharp questions regarding his own beliefs obviously made the strong leader a little angry.
Even with Lu Wenwu's death threat, he responded to Anthony with a soft rejection.
"The Great God of Evolution really exists. This is something our ancestors witnessed!"
"His great body descended from the sky, and the entire world was enveloped in a rain of blood, engulfing countless humans who lived in constant fear."
"The blood rain granted us our initial evolution. Since then, we have had the opportunity to continue struggling in this wasteland!"
“We should be grateful!”
"The Great God of Evolution is so tolerant and loving that He even allows other gods to share His followers! He generously bestows His divine power upon them!"
No one expected that the strong leader would be so excited when it came to issues involving gods.
In Kashan's judgment, everything he said was true.
At least in the inherent cognition of the strong leader, all of this is real and has really happened.
Even the first generation of survivors had witnessed the true arrival of the Great God of Evolution.
so.
Does the Great God of Evolution really exist in the wasteland world?
And it also helped the wasteland humans preserve the spark of civilization through collective transformation?
Things became a little delicate for a while.
