Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 587 We Are the Orthodox
"Just take a look."

After reading it, Wang Tao handed the letter directly to Zhao Yaru.

"Uh…is this something we can watch?"

This letter was left by the previous leader to the current leader. Zhao Yaru had just discussed with others to firmly support Wang Tao as their new leader, so logically speaking, they were not qualified to read these things.

"See, you should know this."

Wang Tao explained.

Since he said so, the others naturally didn't hesitate and immediately looked at the envelope. They were also very curious about what the old leader had left for the new leader.

When they saw this, everyone was shocked. They felt their faith was collapsing.

"The Bishop wants us to drink poison? He wants to kill us?!"

"The leader helped us block it? He didn't let us drink!"

"The leader's wife and children died from drinking poison..."

"So what do we believe in now..."

"..."

They were rescued by Wang Tao today and witnessed the "blessing of dusk" with their own eyes. They are no longer pious but fanatical about the Church of Dusk.

But now they are told that the Twilight Church they believed in is a cult? And the bishop who is admired by everyone is not a good person?

At this moment, everyone's faith collapsed. They couldn't accept it, but the letter was indeed written by the leader...

But after all, they have experienced the end of the world, and their mentality is stronger than that of ordinary people. Regardless of whether their faith has collapsed or not, the letter also said that the next leader should try not to trust other members of the Church of Twilight!
The tone in which the former leader spoke was obviously directed at the people in the Zizhu Base.

But the problem now is that there is another member of the Twilight Church next to them—Wang Tao!
Moreover, Wang Tao had asked them before whether they had ever drunk the black potion...

So... Wang Tao can’t be trusted?
Everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Tao, their expressions somewhat confused and alert.

The former leader would definitely not harm them. They knew him well, especially since he had hidden the poison and didn't give it to them. There was definitely nothing wrong with the former leader.

But Wang Tao didn't seem to have any intention of harming them! Not only did Wang Tao help them kill the giant zombies, he also sent them back safely. If Wang Tao wanted to kill them, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
But the letter left by the former leader said that other members of the Twilight Church could not be trusted, and Wang Tao showed them this letter...

Everyone felt like their brains were in a mess and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

……

After Wang Tao handed the letter paper to Zhao Yaru, he looked at the other two pieces of letter paper.

There were three sheets of paper in the letter. The first sheet contained the instructions from the previous leader, and the second sheet contained the formula of the "holy medicine".

However, it is also mentioned above that in this formula, except for the core ingredients, the other ingredients can be changed. The bishop has been studying the formula and who knows how far he has studied it. Therefore, the holy medicine in each place may be slightly different.

Wang Tao was naturally very interested in this formula. He found that the formula of this holy medicine was a mutant herb, which Wang Tao had never heard of, but there was a picture on it. Wang Tao looked at the picture and thought about it and found that he seemed to have seen these mutant herbs before. But since these mutant herbs had no names, Wang Tao treated them as ordinary grass and didn't care... It's so cold outside now, these mutant herbs are probably not available for the time being...

The recipe says that this medicine can improve people's physical fitness, but there will be some side effects, so it is recommended for ordinary believers. Those powerful believers, such as deacons and priests, don't need to use it, as this improvement in physical fitness is not of much use to them.

As for the side effects, the letter didn't say, only that they were very small. In order to increase the probability of giving birth in the apocalypse, these side effects were acceptable.

"Does the bishop really not know how serious the side effects are? Or is he deliberately deceiving?"

Wang Tao thinks it should be the latter.

The bishop has preached in many places, and many people have taken this medicine. It is impossible for him not to be aware of the side effects!

What made Wang Tao a little confused was why the bishop would do such a thing? After all, it didn't seem to be of any benefit to him.

If you say the bishop wants to use drugs to control other believers, that is more reasonable. But if these believers drink too much of the drugs, they will die!

What good can it do to the bishop if the people are dead?
Wang Tao couldn't figure it out, but he just knew that this bishop was not a good person. If he had the chance to meet him in the future, he would definitely catch him and find out what he was trying to do.

As for the formula of the medicine, Wang Tao accepted it and asked Qu Shilin to study it and see if he could find anything.

After Wang Tao put away the recipe, he looked at the last piece of letter paper.

On this piece of letter paper is a simple hand-drawn map of the city, with markings on it showing where supplies are more likely to be found, where they are more dangerous, where they have been explored, and where there is still no one in the area...

The former leader is a local who has lived in this city for decades and knows it very well. What he has summarized is still very valuable. Although it is of no use to Wang Tao, it is very useful to Zhao Yaru and the others.

When Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yaru and the others, their eyes were also looking at Wang Tao.

Seeing the confused and alert expressions on their faces, Wang Tao smiled and said:
"What? Do you suspect I have ulterior motives?"

"..."

Everyone subconsciously took a step back, and then subconsciously shook their heads at the same time.

Retreating shows that they are afraid of Wang Tao. After all, he can quickly kill a fifth-level giant zombie. Who wouldn’t be afraid of him turning against them?
They shook their heads because they had doubted it just now, but they were still unwilling to believe that Wang Tao would harm them subconsciously. If Wang Tao really wanted to harm them, there was no need to go through so much trouble. With Wang Tao's strength, the people in the entire base combined would not be his opponent!

"Master Priest, I'm sorry! We shouldn't have doubted you! We are just a little confused and don't know what to do..."

Zhao Yaru fell to her knees with a plop.

She was honest and said directly that she had just doubted Wang Tao, but it was because the news was too explosive and caused them to be confused. It was not that she subjectively did not trust Wang Tao.

Everyone else also quickly followed Zhao Yaru to apologize to Wang Tao.

The difference in strength between them and Wang Tao was too great, not to mention that they were all injured. Wang Tao could crush them to death with just a flick of his finger, so they definitely couldn't confront Wang Tao at this time. And they really wanted to believe Wang Tao. As for the content of the letter... they thought that since Wang Tao dared to show it to them, he would definitely explain it to them. Even if Wang Tao didn't explain, it was because Wang Tao had his own plan, and they couldn't ask too much.

Anyway, their main message is "I believe in the priest very much, and we believe whatever he says!"
After all, this was about their own lives. The former leader was dead, and they had no choice but to trust Wang Tao. Wang Tao looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him and waved his hand helplessly.

"Get up."

It's not their fault, after all, it's a bit of a coincidence. If it were Wang Tao, he might also be suspicious.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Wang Tao's expression did not change, the group of people became a little nervous again.

Whether Wang Tao is happy or angry, it always reflects Wang Tao's attitude, but the calmer Wang Tao's expression is, the more frightening people feel, because they can't guess what Wang Tao is thinking.

So these people immediately turned their eyes to Zhao Yaru.

Zhao Yaru and Wang Tao seem to have a close relationship, and she is a beauty, so it is better for her to say nice things in front of Wang Tao than for them.

Zhao Yaru also understood. After she got up, she walked carefully to Wang Tao and said respectfully:

"My lord, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"this is for you."

Wang Tao also handed the third piece of letter paper to Zhao Yaru.

Everyone subconsciously glanced at it and found that it was a simple map with the mark of the previous leader on it...

Wang Tao then said:
"Generally speaking, the Church of Dusk is not a good thing. What is said in this letter is true. Drinking the holy medicine can indeed slightly improve physical fitness, but the body will be poisoned and the mortality rate is very high. Moreover, they will do whatever it takes to attract believers, which will affect the development of the base. In other survivor bases, the Church of Dusk is basically a rat crossing the street, and its reputation is terrible..."

"..."

After hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone's hearts suddenly sank. The reputation of the Twilight Church in other places was so bad... Although they were prepared, they still felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, this was the Twilight Church that they had believed in for such a long time!
"…But there are always exceptions. Not all people in the Twilight Church are bad. There are also some who don't drink poison and develop well. For example, you and me."

Wang Tao looked at everyone with a smile.

He did not say that he, as a high priest, was a fake, but that he was just like them, that although he was a member of the Church of the Twilight, he was not in the same group as the bishop. The bishop was a bad man, and I was a good man like you.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he could feel a light suddenly appear in everyone's confused eyes.

Zhao Yaru and the others' faith was about to collapse, but when they suddenly found out that Wang Tao was the same as them, they seemed to have gained a backbone in an instant.

"It's normal for you to suspect me, because I also suspected that you were the kind of members of the Church of Dusk who harmed others and yourself. But now it seems... you have a good leader! He helped you block the bishop's conspiracy. If it weren't for him, I guess your situation would not be so good now..."

Wang Tao mentioned the former leader again.

When everyone heard this, tears welled up in their eyes.

Although they are basically the veterans of the Zizhu Base and came here a long time ago, they have also seen human nature in the end times.

It is precisely because they have seen the ugliness of human nature that they know how good their former leader was, and how he was truly devoted to the base.

If it weren't for the previous leader's hard work, their Zizhu base would have been exhausted due to food shortages...

"So, I think we should fulfill his last wish and create a completely different Twilight Church, and even replace the bishop! The Twilight Church should not be a cult, but a proper church that can give people hope and light. What do you think?"

"……right!"

Everyone nodded immediately.

They originally believed in Twilight, so naturally they didn't want their faith to collapse. Since the real Twilight Church was completely different from what they imagined, why didn't they just transform the Twilight Church into the Twilight Church in their minds!

Anyway, their former leader said so! And there is a powerful senior priest supporting them!
"very good!"

Seeing their high morale, Wang Tao immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Wang Tao didn't want to see their faith collapse. After all, they were all innocent. Apart from being related to the name of the Twilight Church, everything else about them was very un-Twilight Church. There was no need to condemn them all for a name.

And Wang Tao also had his own purpose. He had thought before that the bishop's ability to preach was so strong that he couldn't stop him. Since he couldn't stop him, there was no need to stop him. As the saying goes, blocking is not as good as dredging. The bishop preached in front, and Wang Tao instigated his followers in the back. Isn't it good? Use magic to defeat magic!
The former leader of Zizhu Base also had this idea, which coincided with Wang Tao's.

Zhao Yaru and her people are the key. We can start with them and let them believe in another kind of Twilight Church. If there is a chance in the future, we can slowly bring other believers over... This way we can save more people.

"I'm glad you made the right choice. Didn't Zhao Yaru ask me to be the leader of Zizhu Base? Do the rest of you have any objections?"

Wang Tao smiled again.

The group of people instantly became more excited.

“We couldn’t agree more!”

They were still thinking about how to bring up this matter again, but Wang Tao took the initiative to bring it up. They had already discussed that Wang Tao must be their leader, otherwise the more than 10,000 people in this base might not be able to hold out for long.

"Well..." Seeing that these people all agreed sincerely, Wang Tao nodded first, then shook his head, "I can't be your leader, because I have other things to do, I won't stay here for long..."

Since there is no plan to let these people quit the Twilight Church, Wang Tao can't take them away. After all, the Twilight Church in other bases is a cult. It is more appropriate to let them stay here for the time being, and take them away when there is a better place in the future.

"..."

Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. But before they could say anything, Wang Tao continued:
"But I will help you solve your current troubles and tide you over. And if you need any help in the future, you can contact me. What you need to do is to develop the Twilight Church well and strive to eliminate the evil, fake Twilight Church, because we are the orthodox one!"

With just a few words from Wang Tao, they became orthodox, and the Twilight Church led by the bishop became a fake.

But Zhao Yaru and the others didn't think there was anything wrong. They said excitedly:

"Yes!"
