Chapter 425 Mission Objectives and Plans
After these words were spoken, the whole team was stunned for a few seconds, and even the priest was confused by the question.
The priest lowered his head, pulled down his sunglasses, and glanced at the young woman Jingshu who was speaking. After a long moment of deliberation, he slowly said, "You must not spare an eye. You must give life for life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot. Those who do not believe in God have already gone to hell."
Jingshu frowned, "What do you mean?"
Lingling stood up and said, "It comes from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the Bible. If you are hurt, you must inflict equal harm on your enemy. Perhaps he has already inflicted equal harm on his enemies, sending his unbeliever enemies to hell..."
Jingshu once again suffered a 10,000-point critical hit from the horror of being uneducated. If she didn't study hard, she couldn't even understand what people were saying.
The monkey said angrily, "Why not just say you're avenging your companions and killing all the enemies? Who would understand why you're going through so much trouble?"
"If you can listen to God's words and do everything according to God's words, you will gain strength upon strength, grace upon grace, and be blessed by God all your life. Otherwise, nothing!" said the priest compassionately.
Everyone collapsed together.
Now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the mission objectives and assignments. As for this extra teammate... Jingshu doesn't think he's very reliable, but being able to avenge a teammate is a form of strength, right? Jingshu is curious about how this person got revenge.
..
To be precise, the Grand Temple is located in the River Valley area, an hour and a half drive from downtown New York, and everyone is now taken by the priest to his territory, a very large Christian church in New York.
When Jingshu first arrived in New York, she was shocked even though it was the end of the world. This country wastes too many resources!
New York's resources seem to be endless. Today, the whole city is still brightly lit. Although it is heard that the US government has restricted electricity use, most households still generate their own electricity, keep lights on 24 hours a day, and run various machines.
Another thing that needs to be explained is that solar power generation has been popularized in the United States a long time ago. Almost every household has it. A villa and a yard are the life of most American families.
Although there is no sunlight now, the weak light source can still store some electricity. In addition, many families use the bacterial power generation that Jingshu bought. It is not popular in the underground black market and Austin, but after coming to New York, everything here seems to have retained its pre-apocalyptic appearance. Jingshu truly felt the popularity, the luxury of feasting and drinking, and the development of high technology. Most importantly, the people here are very busy, and it seems that everyone has their work to do.
But...the crime rate here is too high. As soon as we entered the city under government jurisdiction, we could hear gunshots and screams from time to time. Jingshu was so scared that she put on a bulletproof helmet.
Supermarkets, major shopping malls, and supplies are partially controlled by the government, and partially controlled by capitalists and grain merchants who set up businesses and issued currency. You can no longer buy anything with the money you had before the end of the world.
Even the United States, once the world's leading economic power, which possessed the most advanced pharmaceutical and technological systems, has seen its productivity plummet by dozens of times. The United States's reluctance to change prices has ultimately led to the semi-collapse of its economy and disunity after the civil unrest.
This has led to the current chaos of various forces in New York, and the currency has been divided into dozens of types, but capitalists are always evil, and major governments have even opened up policies of mutual exchange.
In other words, there are more than twenty different currencies issued by different factions in New York today! And they are all officially recognized.
The key point is that you can exchange currencies issued by all other forces with these dozens of different forces, but they will charge high handling fees.
When Jingshu and others first arrived in New York, they could hardly move forward. Without money, they could not get anywhere.
Since Jingshu and her group lacked green cards and visas, they were considered "illegally invading another country's territory." To stay in New York, they had to pay. How could they get the money? They could exchange supplies, including strategic materials. They could also work as temporary workers or even become government mercenaries.
In order to speed up the journey, they exchanged the food they robbed on the road for government currency issued by the US government, and gave Jingshu and her group some money.
After getting a 7-day visa, I can stay in New York legally.
The stolen car has no gasoline, so when you go to refuel at a high price, you need to use the currency issued by the US oil monopoly giant EP, referred to as gasoline coins, 1 gasoline coin for 1 liter.
Where do you get gas coins? You can exchange them for equivalent supplies, or you can exchange them for other currencies at the gas station. 1.2 government coins can be exchanged for 1 gas coin, so everyone exchanged some gas coins.
Similarly, 1.2 gasoline coins can be exchanged for 1 government coin, and similarly, 1.2 government coins can be exchanged for 1 grain coin worth of food. The major capitalists use this to communicate with each other, and collect high transaction fees in return, making the people of the United States work for free every day.
This monopoly, the forced control of the market economic system, and the high taxes and fees have made the people even more dissatisfied. The high fee of 20% for a single exchange has forced the people to choose to work for grain merchants, the government, or the capitalists.
Needless to say, banks in New York no longer handle currency business, but instead switch to various strange businesses such as "storing rice and giving away wheat", "lending wheat at low interest", and "storing food for a year without interest".
It really proves the saying that rich capitalists live comfortably no matter where they are.
The current behavior of the United States is that the ugly capitalists have the words "making money" written on their faces, but their methods are much more sophisticated. They don't make money themselves, but let the people help them.
Walking in the huge church, there were many people coming to worship, and many nuns came towards them with kind smiles. The priest took Jingshu and her group to an empty and deserted small church. Along the way, they learned that the priest was the manager of this famous church in New York, and he was about to be promoted to bishop.
It takes a lot of ability for a Chinese person to be so awesome and climb so high.
Yang Yang opened the map, placed it on the table, and pointed to a corner.
"The priest will bring the nuns to the Grand Temple in two days. The task of retrieving the tripod will be left to the monk. He lost the bet before, so now he can win it back. If he wins, he gets the tripod back. If he loses, we will take it back by force."
"Is it possible that even if we win, the other party won't give us the tripod?" Lingling asked.
Yang Yang's lips curled up. "That's impossible, because they know that the tripod must be made with a special formula to be effective. They know we still have to find that person. Even if we win the tripod, if we lose the second stop, the tripod will return to them."
