Zheng Hao led a group of people to a secluded spot and stopped.
"Alright, you all just said that the god I believe in is a false god, a fake..."
"Then the gods you believe in must be real, right?"
Upon hearing Zheng Hao's words, everyone immediately puffed up their chests and shouted:
"Of course, the Bible appeared thousands of years ago, it recorded the birth of human civilization, and it also predicted this great cataclysm!"
"That's right, we are alive today entirely by the grace of God. Only those without faith, or those with wavering faith, are abandoned by God and become monsters like walking corpses!"
"You should abandon your false gods and believe in the Lord, and the Lord will save you!"
Zheng Hao pressed his hands down in the air twice, still wearing a brilliant smile, and said:
"Excellent, excellent. I have understood all of your demands!"
"Since everyone has such firm faith in their deities..."
"Then I will now give you all 10 seconds to pray, for your gods to manifest and prove their existence, alright?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present froze.
Gods manifesting?
They had indeed heard many stories of gods manifesting.
For example, Jesus' resurrection, or being able to heal the sick with a single word.
Many fellow believers had also felt the guidance of their deities.
But those were all hearsay, and they had never personally experienced it.
Now that Zheng Hao asked them so directly, they were all somewhat speechless.
However, they quickly found excuses to refute.
They came up with a string of explanations, such as "gods do not appear in ways humans understand" and "the end of science is theology."
Zheng Hao remained unmoved, silently counting down the time.
"Time's up. Next, I will let you understand the blessings my god bestows upon me!"
As Zheng Hao finished speaking, his entire body instantly became transparent and disappeared.
Everyone was shocked.
Before they could react,
Suddenly, the strongest man among them let out a shout and transformed into a cloud of mist.
At the same time, Zheng Hao gradually revealed his figure.
He threw a punch with his left hand and a kick with his right.
In a short while, everyone present turned into white mist and vanished.
Zheng Hao sneered and said:
"My god makes me stronger, while your gods... chose to ignore your prayers!"
"So... who is the real false god after all..."
As the apocalypse progressed, Zheng Hao met more people and learned more about the ways to survive.
For some people, reasoning was far less effective than brute force!
As the saying goes... might makes right!
If you want to receive special treatment or respect,
You must first have the strength to be respected.
Otherwise, every extra demand you make is one step closer to death.
They don't even understand such a simple principle?
It's truly incomprehensible how these guys managed to survive until now...
*Ding dong!*
Zheng Hao received a message from Zhang Chen.
Lin Qingsong?
This name sounds familiar... I think I've seen it somewhere...
...
At the military base.
Zhang Chen, as the greatest contributor to defeating the S13 invaders, received the highest level of treatment.
Zhao Longchuan personally supervised the engineering team and built him a two-story container room.
It was fully equipped with water and electricity.
The military base had a power limit of 3 hours per day, but this place had unlimited power.
These container rooms were not only spacious and comfortable but also highly stylish!
"I specifically had people lay down a layer of hotel-grade carpet on the floor, and the beds are also of hotel quality!"
"In this apocalyptic world, such housing is already considered five-star hotel level!"
"How is it, Brother Zhang, are you satisfied?"
Zhao Longchuan said proudly.
The housing in the military base consisted of either tents or the wooden bunk beds found in military barracks.
They offered no comfort whatsoever.
Even so, many survivors admitted that this was the most comfortable place they had ever stayed.
Many hotels had shut down their ventilation systems due to prolonged power outages.
The entire building was filled with the stench of zombie decay, making one nauseous upon entry.
In comparison, this container room appeared exceptionally high-class and luxurious!
"Um... this... it's not bad..."
Zhang Chen said hesitantly.
He didn't want to dampen Zhao Longchuan's enthusiasm, as the man clearly had good intentions.
"Not bad, haha! I knew you'd like it!"
"As the biggest contributor to this battle, this is what you deserve!"
"Not only that, we've also prepared a victory banquet for you!"
Zhao Longchuan led Zhang Chen into the first floor of the container room.
Bai Hanlin, Dong Tiejun, Jiang Chenchen, and several squad leaders were all present.
Zhao Xiyue was recovering in her tent and couldn't attend.
The table was laden with various self-heating rice meals, self-heating hot pots, instant noodles, and so on.
Beside them were several cans of luncheon meat, fruit, and ham.
"How is it? Quite a spread, isn't it? You can pick and choose whatever you want from here!"
"We have all sorts of flavors, like Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms... Tomato Beef Brisket flavor... Braised Beef flavor..."
"Especially this one, my favorite, Golden Broth Fat Beef Noodles. The broth is simply sour and refreshing!"
"It's a shame that the power has been out for so long, and frozen meat is almost impossible to find. Otherwise, with a few slices of meat in it, the taste would be absolutely amazing!"
Zhao Longchuan praised enthusiastically.
"Um... good... thank you..."
Zhang Chen replied politely.
"Daddy, Daddy, look, there are these delicious noodles!"
Xiao Bai exclaimed excitedly, waving a pack of instant noodles.
"Mm, eat a little less, I'll cook you something delicious tonight..."
Zhang Chen said softly.
"Mm!"
Xiao Bai nodded, immediately threw the instant noodles aside, and sat down obediently.
She was already imagining what delicious food it could be.
However, her experience with food was limited, so the most she could imagine were biscuits, instant noodles, canned goods, and chocolate...
After a simple victory banquet,
Zhang Chen gave the room to Bai Hanlin, Cui Zhiyan, and Xiu Min, and moved himself to a vacant spot on the outskirts of the military base.
Bai Hanlin was a straightforward person; if others were good to him, he would be even better to them.
This small gesture from Zhang Chen significantly boosted Bai Hanlin's favorability.
As night fell...
It was past 9 PM.
Zhao Longchuan, accompanied by Jiang Chenchen and Dong Tiejun, walked towards the secluded area where Zhang Chen was residing.
"Sigh, I really don't understand what Zhang Chen is thinking, giving up such a good place to Dr. Bai and camping in such a remote location..."
Dong Tiejun sighed.
"Perhaps this is what makes a big shot different. When we get to the big shot's tent, be sharp and see what he needs. Let's replenish it for him, don't wait for him to ask us!"
Zhao Longchuan instructed.
"Understood... I'll be responsible for checking the daily necessities, you check for... Holy crap! kanδん"
As Dong Tiejun was speaking, the three of them turned a corner.
A brightly lit villa suddenly appeared before them...
"Hiss... what happened to the tents we were promised?"
