In the evening, a light rain continued to fall in the sky, bringing a touch of tranquility to this land of savagery and violence.

In this kind of weather, even the most diligent bandits will not go out easily, so business travelers are hurrying to hurry, even if the muddy roads can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and even after rain, it can lead to serious consequences such as colds and fevers.

You must know that after the catastrophe, human beings have lost the industrial technology to make antibiotics, and the slightest cold and fever can kill people.

Wound infection and inflammation are a terminal disease with a fatality rate of more than 70%.

However, for Zhang Cheng, this light rain did not affect his mood, but instead had a feeling of going out for a leisurely trip.

In particular, his team was on their way to a small city in the former central region of the United States.

The closer you get to your destination, the more nervous the few people in the team who call themselves mercenaries become, and the slightest hint of wind and grass will be put into combat readiness.

"Sir, from now on, we have entered the city of the Old Era, so you better be careful. There are a lot of monsters entrenched here, and many people who want to make a windfall never come out alive after entering. A black man in leather armor and armed with a sharp spear suddenly reminded.

No, you're wrong, it's never the monsters that are really scary, it's the people. Zhang Chengyi replied with a deep taste.

Apparently, by forcibly hacking into Willy's brain, he had figured out the true hiding place of the Ashram, which was abandoned hundreds of years ago.

In a hidden part of the city, there is a bomb shelter built during the Cold War in the United States, and all the children who were bought were sent to it.

As for what was going on inside, no one knew at all, and Willy's level obviously didn't touch the core secrets of the Retreat.

You don't need to ask to know that the so-called monsters in the city are actually all ghosts of the hermitage society, and they don't want anyone to get close, so they make up such rumors to prevent more people from breaking in.

After all, what was before the apocalypse was a miracle for the current extremely backward level of productivity, and the well-preserved firearms were worth a lot, not to mention the large amount of gold and jewels that remained.

Generally speaking, every city found that has not yet been looted is invariably transported by countless greedy people.

But the hermit society relied on its murderous style to suppress this greed, and if it weren't for Zhang Cheng's big money, these mercenaries would not have risked their lives to approach.

"That's right! People are truly terrible monsters! Look at the world! It is said that it was because the previous humans were so arrogant that they angered the supreme gods, and as a result, they sent down terrible disasters that destroyed everything they had created overnight. Another young man, who was distinctly Latino wheat-skinned, chimed in with great interest.

"Hey, don't spread your ridiculous nonsense in front of your employer! There are no gods in this world! All gods are lies made up on purpose!" the only female member of the group pursed her lips in disdain.

"Don't insult my faith! God is real! Otherwise, how can you explain that the ancients performed so many great miracles, but they collapsed and perished overnight. According to the oldest records, countless huge stars fell in the sky at that time, causing the earth to collapse and the sea to set off huge waves of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters. The young man retorted with a disgruntled face.

Just when the woman was about to say something, a huge black shadow suddenly burst out of the dense forest.

"Roaring !!!!!!!"

Moment!

A monster that was twice the size of an elephant and covered in cyan scales appeared out of thin air, and before anyone could react, it bit off the young man's waist with a terrifying clicking sound.

"Damn! It's a scaly dragon! All ready to fight!"

"Spread out! Spread out! Don't fight hard!"

"Prepare the flame powder!"

......

With a heart-rending roar, the mercenaries quickly took up their positions and fought with the giant beast, not even noticing that their employer had left quietly, not taking their lives or deaths seriously.

Following the footsteps of the monster on the muddy ground, Zhang Cheng quickly found the legendary bomb shelter.

As he expected, not only were there a dozen or so resting monsters at the entrance of the cave, but there were also people feeding them food, while the smaller ones were being trained by the breeder.

"Ahh ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and the whole person suddenly became transparent, and finally disappeared into the air.

As a powerful spellcaster, it was a complete effortless for him to deceive the eyes of mortals and beasts.

After entering the air-raid shelter, he was surprised to find that every small hole ** was constantly playing a video material, and those abducted children were staring intently at the large-screen LCD display hanging on the wall, their eyes were full of fanatical worship, and they shouted praise from time to time and words.

Brainwash!

The word popped up in Zhang Cheng's mind for the first time.

There's actually a guy who is using pre-disaster technology to train himself in large numbers of devout and fanatical believers.

Could it be that a god who has been sleeping for thousands of years can quickly understand the role of technology in a short period of time and apply it to his own belief system?

In particular, the content played in the LCD screen did not mention the specific name from beginning to end, just repeatedly emphasizing that he is the only true god in the world, the controller of the supreme thunder.

If it is replaced by an ordinary person, it is likely to be associated with the famous third-generation god-king Zeus in ancient Greek mythology.

But Zhang Cheng felt that this must not be the handiwork of the Olympian gods.

Because the blood of the Olympian gods is derived from the legendary Titans, they hold a part of the primordial power of this world, and they do not need the faith of mortals at all.

On the contrary, these guys see mortals as pawns and playthings.

If they do wake up, they will not hesitate to show their greatness, and then provoke wars between mortals in the name of God for fun.

There is no doubt that this bomb shelter belongs to a god who has been acquired by relying on the faith and worship of mortals.

And the other party was extremely careful, and from the very beginning adopted the method of isolation from the outside world, to ensure that the spread of his faith did not attract even the slightest commotion and attention.

What's even more terrifying is that this god doesn't even fully believe in believers, and doesn't even want to tell them his real name......
