Chapter 1647: Chapter 693: The Last Set of Ancestral Virus Data_2

“…”

Alright, so they are pretty weak after all.

Wang Tao knows that the Changhe Base is definitely stronger than other Survivor Bases, but he didn’t expect it to be so much stronger… Even without counting those who use the awakening potion, the number of Awakeners in the Changhe Base is still quite considerable. Unlike the Dusk Church and Gale Convoy which are so poor…

Lin Fei seems to have seen a look of sympathy in Wang Tao’s eyes, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He understands Wang Tao’s meaning, which is to say that their Gale Convoy is weak! And he couldn’t refute it, which was quite awkward…

However, Wang Tao didn’t continue discussing the matter, and quickly changed the topic, which let Lin Fei breathe a sigh of relief.

In the midst of conversation along the way, they arrived at the Gale Convoy’s mission delivery point.

This is a warehouse where people from the Dusk Church will come to check Lin Fei’s goods, and then provide them with corresponding rewards based on the quantity and quality of the goods.

Someone was already guarding the warehouse entrance, and only when Lin Fei’s vehicle arrived did the warehouse door open. A man in a dark robe walked over with a smile.

“Old Lin, I thought you weren’t coming back, finally waiting for you!”

“Hahaha, just a small apocalypse, nothing to worry about!”

The sound of Lin Fei’s laughter came from inside the car, indicating he was obviously familiar with the man in the dark robe.

Before getting out of the car, Lin Fei explained to Wang Tao:

“Mr. Wang, this is Tang Hao, the Master Sido of the Dusk Church, specialized in logistics.”

The hierarchy of personnel inside the Dusk Church headquarters remains the same as Wang Tao understood, with no changes, consisting of four levels from high to low: Bishop, Master Sido, Deacon, Believer.

Believers are the most ordinary Survivors, while Deacons and above are managers.

Distinguishing them is simple, just check the color of their clothing.

Bishops wear red robes, Master Sido wear black robes, and Deacons wear grey robes. The robe’s chest bears a sunset symbol: black is Basic, silver is Intermediate, and gold is Advanced.

As for the most ordinary Believers, they can wear anything they like, just don’t wear the robes in those styles and colors.

Previously on the road, they encountered the Law Enforcement Team, all members wearing black robes, indicating they were Master Sido, only obeying the Bishop.

Wang Tao found it strange, as he understood that the Dusk Church differentiates identities using badges, yet now they’ve switched to robes?

Wang Tao asked Lin Fei, who happened to know about this matter, saying that those badges were made by the Bishop with a special material, possessing a strong anti-counterfeiting effect, making it impossible for others to replicate. However, there wasn’t much of the special material, and the Bishop didn’t produce many at the time. With the Dusk Church’s growing number of people, obviously, it wasn’t enough, so they had to switch methods to indicate identities…those badges are still in use, and those with badges are the Dusk Church elders.

“Special material, huh…”

After Lin Fei got out of the car, a golden square badge appeared in Wang Tao’s hand. This was the Advanced Master Sido badge he obtained a long time ago.

Apart from impersonating a Dusk Church Master Sido, this badge seemed to have no other purpose. Wang Tao impersonated a few times and later barely used it, keeping it in his space bag all along.

Seeing the badge again, Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

He noticed a lot of “Mental Elements” from this badge, which gathered and didn’t disperse, like they were emanating from inside the badge. However, Wang Tao’s spiritual power penetrated the badge, finding no mechanisms inside, seemingly just because the material is special…this might be the reason for its anti-counterfeiting capability.

Wang Tao put the badge away, then got out of the car.

Tang Hao acted as though he didn’t see Wang Tao, continuing to chat enthusiastically with Lin Fei.

Wang Tao nodded to Lin Fei, then swaggered off.

“Old Lin, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Lin Fei suddenly pause, Tang Hao looked puzzled following Lin Fei’s gaze, ultimately seeing nothing.

“Nothing, nothing! What were we just talking about?”

Lin Fei quickly shifted the topic to cover up his inner shock.

He doesn’t know how Wang Tao did it, since he can see him but others can’t detect him! Nor does he dwell on this matter, pretending to know nothing, because Wang Tao isn’t someone he can afford to provoke…

…

Wang Tao managed to leave right under their noses because he used spiritual power to distort others’ vision—a minor trick, insignificant.

Now that he was at the Dusk Church headquarters, he would surely take a good look around.

With Wang Tao’s usual personality and his impression of the Dusk Church, he would forcefully control everyone and capture the Bishop right away.

But after an initial observation, Wang Tao changed his mind. Because he discovered that the Dusk Church wasn’t as bad as he imagined, at least for now, it seemed quite good.

The fact that the Dusk Church allows these Survivors to live well made Wang Tao willing to further investigate the Dusk Church. If it’s a cult, Wang Tao would swiftly destroy it, but if he misunderstood and there are unknown elements, they shouldn’t be wrongfully condemned…

Wang Tao moved quickly, in the blink of an eye touring many places, unnoticed by anyone, treating him as if he didn’t exist.

Having obtained the Bishop’s location from Lin Fei, Wang Tao now sought him out, also observing others’ status to see if the Dusk Church had any plots…

When Wang Tao arrived outside the chapel where the Bishop was, half an hour had passed. Naturally, that’s not because Wang Tao flew slowly, but rather because he wasted a lot of time gazing here and there along the way.

However, this allowed Wang Tao to better understand the Dusk Church. To put it simply, this Dusk Church headquarters differed greatly from the impression Wang Tao held of it.

The Dusk Churches Wang Tao previously encountered did things typical of cults, disregarding lives. But this Dusk Church headquarters seemed idyllic, like a paradise away from the world. If not for the Changhe Base, Wang Tao would want to live here.

Such a polarized situation might be due to a misunderstanding by Wang Tao regarding the Dusk Church, or perhaps the Bishop has a grander scheme that remains undiscovered.

In any event, seeing the Bishop would reveal the truth.

Yet, when Wang Tao brazenly reached the chapel, he found the Bishop absent.

“Where did the Bishop go?”

Wang Tao directed his gaze at a secretary-like woman. Under Wang Tao’s control, she had no power to resist, answering whatever he asked.

“He actually went outside…”

This left Wang Tao speechless, unexpectedly finding the Bishop departed headquarters for the surface this morning to seek an herb, seen as unlikely returning soon, leaving Wang Tao empty-handed.

No big deal though, since knowing the Dusk Church headquarters’ location means he can return anytime.

With the Bishop absent, Wang Tao continued exploring the area, hoping to uncover anything new, unexpectedly sighting a familiar sign outside a building—Phoenix Laboratory!

When previously searching for Ancestral Virus data, Wang Tao found Phoenix Laboratory, but it was already in ruins after evacuating ahead. Likely possessing Ancestral Virus data, unfortunately, Wang Tao hadn’t found them since. Who knew they were here!

This justifies the Dusk Church’s Crystal Energy Technology use, clearly the work of Phoenix Laboratory.

Wang Tao pushed the door open and entered, finding inside a large colorful hand-drawn picture on the wall, beneath it a glass cabinet with numerous documents, among which was a thick bundle labeled “Basic Zombie Virus Research” or similar.

Wang Tao promptly retrieved this document, using the method taught by Qu Shilin for review, quickly concluding—

“It truly is Ancestral Virus data, furthermore, it’s exactly Qu Shilin’s missing portion! Obtained just like this? Meaning, the attempt to produce a zombie virus antidote can commence?”
