Chapter 1646: Chapter 693: The Last Piece of Ancestral Virus Data

The underground space of the Dusk Church is vast, with roads, houses, vegetable gardens, and even ponds and rivers… Many survivors are busy here, making it seem like a small world!

If it weren’t for the distinct difference in lighting compared to outside, Wang Tao might have had trouble recognizing this as being underground.

Wang Tao looked up and saw a small “sun” on the ceiling emitting a soft glow. The lighting in the underground space all came from this “sun.” From this, Wang Tao sensed a crystal energy presence, likely a kind of crystal energy device.

“Phew—it’s so cool!”

After arriving here, Lin Fei and the others seemed to relax instantly.

Because the temperature inside was only about twenty degrees, the most comfortable temperature for humans, similar to the Changhe Base.

“Could there be biological weapons here similar to [Crystal Energy Barriers]?”

Wang Tao was curious, but he didn’t ask further.

After the Gale Convoy’s vehicles entered, two other cars came to lead the way. In the cars were people dressed in gray robes who instructed Lin Fei not to wander around.

“We’ve been here many times, but that bishop is too rigid, still not allowing us to roam freely unless we join the Dusk Church.”

Lin Fei explained shyly to Wang Tao in a low voice.

Wang Tao nodded in understanding, knowing that if other factions’ people went to Changhe Base, they couldn’t wander freely either.

During the journey, Wang Tao saw many survivors, who seemed to recognize Lin Fei’s vehicles and paid no further attention. However, Wang Tao found these survivors intriguing.

Because these survivors were all ordinary people without any mana, and their bodies were healthy with no internal impurities, contrary to Wang Tao’s expectations of negative status.

Almost two years had passed since the apocalypse began. In such a long time, even the best-protected ordinary people would have come into contact with Crystal Cores. Most people would have tried to integrate them. Even if most failed due to bad luck, leaving no more chances to merge a second Crystal Core, they would still have internal impurities left behind.

Yet the survivors Wang Tao saw not only were all ordinary people but also had no internal impurities, indicating they basically hadn’t come into contact with Crystal Cores, let alone tried to merge them. This was somewhat illogical… Wang Tao guessed it might be the bishop maintaining control since powerful survivors would be harder to control.

As for negative status, it logically came from the Dusk Church’s “Holy Medicine,” which, after drinking, would give a massive negative status, causing bodily weakness or even death. But the current survivors, though not ability users, were healthy, like humans before the apocalypse… This intrigued Wang Tao—had these people not taken the “Holy Medicine”?

“That’s the Dusk Church’s patrol team. Although their environment is fantastic, almost a paradise during the apocalypse, where people exist, conflicts will inevitably arise. Necessary armed forces are required, and the Dusk Church must guard against other human forces, so their military strength isn’t weak either…”

Seeing Wang Tao’s gaze toward a team on motorcycles, Lin Fei hurriedly explained.

Not weak?

Wang Tao shook his head quietly.

This patrol team had ten people in total, with three as Fourth-order Awakeners, and seven were Level 3 ability users. Could this be called not weak?

Wang Tao felt somewhat speechless but didn’t say much to Lin Fei, recognizing that everyone had different experiences and perspectives. It’s unnecessary to force others to elevate their vision to one’s level—it isn’t realistic.

But as the convoy ventured further, encountering even more people, and upon seeing the “Dusk Church’s strongest force—the Law Enforcement Team,” Wang Tao couldn’t hold back.

“Are all the people at the Dusk Church’s headquarters this weak?”

Within this so-called Law Enforcement Team, Wang Tao saw only one Fifth Order Awakener, with the rest being Fourth-order and Level 3 individuals.

According to Lin Fei, the Law Enforcement Team had five Fifth Order Awakeners in total, undisputedly strong in the apocalypse, previously quelling several Survivor Bases with intentions against the Dusk Church.

Though seemingly impressive, in essence, they only amounted to five Fifth Order Awakeners in total. Was this the pinnacle of combat strength within the Dusk Church? It was a bit different from what Wang Tao had imagined!

Wang Tao initially thought that the bishop of the Dusk Church was highly capable, and in his headquarters, there might not be Seventh Level Domain Users, but certainly some Sixth Rank Awakened ones.

Yet now, if the Fifth Order was the peak combat power, and they didn’t even have Sixth Rank Awakened… their strength seemed quite weak!

“Uh…”

Upon Wang Tao’s remark, Lin Fei opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Fifth Order Awakeners were already very powerful! Their Gale Convoy had only two Fifth Order Awakeners!

But considering Wang Tao’s strength far surpassed the Fifth Order Awakeners, likely as a Sixth Rank Awakened, his comment about the weakness made sense…

Seeing Lin Fei’s awkward expression, Wang Tao suddenly asked:

“Oh right, I haven’t asked yet, what’s the level of your Gale Convoy?”

Not daring to hide anything, Lin Fei promptly replied:

“We have two Fifth Order Awakeners, twenty Fourth-order Awakeners, and over a hundred Level 3 ability users…”
