Chapter 77 77. Change
The boy really wanted to reject Xu Zhi's proposal, but he really had no room to refuse.
I even wondered in my heart, was it just to find an excuse to kidnap the saint that I blinded his eyes?
Does she think that if she holds the saint hostage, she will be afraid to act rashly?
The boy's mind was spinning wildly, with many thoughts in his mind. He fumbled for a clothesline pole to use as a cane: "So what are we now?"
His condition was actually not very good. He was already a little tired after running around for days, and now his eyeballs were dug out by Xu Zhi. Even though he was a high-level believer and had stronger self-healing abilities than ordinary extraordinary people and believers, it was only limited to wound healing. His eyeballs would not grow back by themselves!
Now he always felt that wind was rushing into his empty eye sockets after every two steps, which was extremely uncomfortable. He even considered finding a piece of cloth to cover his eyes, but he was a little afraid to ask Xu Zhi for it.
Fortunately, without him having to bring it up, Xu Zhi casually found a piece of clothing in the room, tore it into pieces, and pulled out a strip of cloth: "Blindfold you. It'll be scary if you go out."
"By the way, what should I call you?" The boy seemed to suddenly think of this question. They had already reached a cooperation, but he had not yet exchanged titles with Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi casually answered his name, and the boy nodded: "Okay, Miss Xu, I'm Huo Ze, and her name is Yu Shenwei."
Be cautious and careful?
Why give your child such a name?
"I see." Xu Zhi responded. Although she was not interested in the names of these two people at all, she still had to be polite since they had introduced themselves, even if she had just gouged out their eyes.
"Can you feel that there are believers nearby now?" Xu Zhi asked.
Huo Ze shook his head. "This place isn't particularly far from the deacon. I killed a few believers who were after me and then turned back here on purpose."
It's a psychological tactic, right?
"Since you high-ranking believers have class oppression over low-ranking believers, why do they still come to kill you?"
Xu Zhi asked as he led the two of them out.
"Because I'm a traitor." Huo Ze replied.
"Although everyone is a follower of..., without the Archbishop, no one can be considered a true leader."
Xu Zhi understood.
Without the suppression of absolute strength, factional struggles will occur.
Their big goals are still the same, but they are not necessarily peaceful, united and friendly on the inside just because they share the same goal.
After all, he is a fanatical believer of the [Cup] attribute, and his actions and thoughts are more radical and cruel than ordinary people.
Xu Zhi brought the people into the car and started it. Considering that it might take some time for the moths to take effect on the saint, Xu Zhi planned to take the two of them to walk the rest of the Third Ring Road first. If the moths had not successfully shaken the saint's faith when she was about to leave the Third Ring Road, then she would kill the two of them and the so-called deacons.
As for the security issues in the old residential area when she leaves, there is no need to worry. Zhong Lingfan and Shen Jinwen can deal with most of the troublemakers. If worst comes to worst, there are still the clansmen who will escort the extraordinary people back from time to time. With Xu Zhi's permission, they can ask the clansmen to help deal with some troublemakers.
Every time a family member returned, Zhong Lingfan would ask him to bring a letter to Xu Zhi. The content of the letter was nothing more than some plans for the residential area and today's changes.
As Xu Zhi brought back more and more people, the residential area could now produce hundreds of cores for her every week. These cores were also brought to her by her clansmen. Xu Zhi believed that Shen Jinwen was clear-headed and would not keep the cores for herself, so she allowed her to keep a portion of them to pay her and Zhong Lingfan's "salary".
Furthermore, Zhong Lingfan recently established a management system for the residential area. In her letter, she asked Xu Zhi whether she could use a few cores to pay these people's salaries.
Considering the long-term development of the residential area, there is no need to be stingy with the salary. Moreover, Zhong Lingfan also made it clear in the letter that the salary is only the basic salary and is paid quite sparingly. What attracts everyone is the privilege of becoming part of the management system.
It is impossible to have no privileges, after all, this is not a peaceful era.
Xu Zhi waved his hand and agreed directly.
Whoever is stronger will be in power and have privileges. This is perfectly reasonable in today's Yuncheng. She doesn't want the residential area to be full of people who only care about paying enough for food and lodging to survive. There can be such people, but not too many, so there still has to be some competition.
Xu Zhi never intended to turn the residential area into a utopia in the end times. She did not have such a beautiful ideal.
Another day's sunset was approaching, and Xu Zhi had already found an empty house to live in with his two burdens.
She had been walking with the two of them in the Third Ring Road for almost a week. During this week, they encountered several waves of fanatics, but they were all killed and their cores taken away by Xu Zhi before they could get close to them. Huo Ze could only sense whether there were believers nearby, but could not directly sense whether the other party's intentions were good or bad. When Xu Zhi said that they were the ones chasing him, he had no way of questioning it.
He had doubts in his heart, feeling that Xu Zhi's actions did not seem to be helping him, otherwise why would he kill all the believers he met on the road?
But if she didn't help herself, what was the point of her running around for days with the two of them to avoid being hunted down?
She is an ordinary extraordinary person, and there is absolutely no benefit for her to bring these two believers with her!
In confusion, Huo Ze skillfully knocked on the clothesline and fumbled to make a bed on the floor for himself.
Huo Ze searched the corpse and found no core inside. He guessed that Xu Zhi had given the core to the saint to eat.
The saint ate the core, but he could only eat what Xu Zhi threw to him casually. This made Huo Ze feel a little dissatisfied. Although he awakened and became a believer, he was not one of those brainless people. He still had some pursuits, but when he was under someone's roof, he couldn't make demands and say "I want to eat something good."
After locking Huo Ze outside the door and letting Xiao Yi put the saint on the bed, Xu Zhi tore off the cloth covering her eyes.
A week has passed, and even if the influence of the moth is very weak compared to the belief of the Cup, it is time to see some results.
Xu Zhi threw five [Cup] attribute cores to the alien at his feet, then cut open his palm and fed some blood to the saint. Then he frowned and patted the girl's face on the bed, trying to wake her up.
I have to mention that the difference between these [Cup] attribute fanatics and humans is really very obvious. These days, Xu Zhi only fed the girl some of his own blood intermittently, but her face gradually became rosier. She was no longer as pale and lifeless as when he first saw her, as if she was dead.
If he hadn't gained weight and was still very thin, Xu Zhi would really have doubted whether his blood was a panacea.
