Chapter 1614: The Fugitives' Methods 2

hz「Offer up your wife and children! As long as you believe in the omniscient god, you will obtain supreme power! 」

「God loves mankind, this apocalypse is about to reach the moment of final judgment! 「

「Those who do not believe in the god of light, the lambs, will surely be cast into hell forever! 」

「I am a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has descended! I have come to save you all! 」

「We, Long An, will build a new safe zone in the Yu Province War Zone! I am Lin An's brother, Lin Hao! 「

「Tell you all! This region belongs to us now! If you join my forces, you are still troops of Long An; if not, you are rebels! 」

「I am Chen Nan, senior general of the military, representing the capital to convey the military's highest orders to the vast survivors! 」

「Please, all survivors in the surrounding areas of the Tinnan War Zone, gather toward us; the military has enough strength to protect you! 」

Forty-eight hours later.

Western Huaxia, above the Ningxia War Zone.

Xiong Hanzi, face full of fatigue, silently followed behind Lin An, his expression extremely grim as he looked at the excited crowd below.

Below, in the safe zone square, up to nearly a million survivors surged like a black sea, fervently watching the woman constantly displaying the power of rules.

「Lin Dui, another fake fourth stage. 」

「This one also seems to be taking the religious path. 」

「They seem to be eating people... 」

Hearing the crowd below excitedly chanting the names of the deities, like madmen they scrambled for the chunks of meat the woman threw down.

At this moment, Zhang Tie was no longer angry, only feeling deep helplessness.

If it were before, upon seeing this scene he would surely rush up and kill the opponent, not letting them continue brainwashing.

But..

Chaotic, too chaotic.

Many, too many...

In two days, he and Lin An almost ran through the entire Huaxia War Zone.

At first he didn't think much of it, merely feeling that the refugees' little tricks were purely disgusting to Lin Dui.

But as the chaos he saw grew, Zhang Tie also realized the seriousness of the problem.

It's hard to imagine that from the appearance of the suspected first batch of fake fourth stages to now, only a week has passed, and those who received the cards have spread like a virus, quickly infecting the entire world.

Some impersonate deities, spreading faith.

Some impersonate the military, claiming to be official forces, deceiving survivors.

Even worse, some simply raise Long An's banner, claiming to unconditionally absorb survivors and enhance their strength, attracting large numbers of survivors in a very short time.

Even if Long An refutes rumors in the war zone channel, it still has little effect.

After all, that awakened one who bears Long An's name is truly a genuine 'fourth stage'!

A fourth-stage powerhouse is enough for too many people to want to become his subordinates and gain protection.

Demons and monsters, all kinds of banners are raised.

The common point of these people is to absorb survivors as quickly as possible and bring them under control.

Under their ability to display fourth-stage power, how could low-level survivors doubt anything? Even many third-stage awakened ones dare not doubt.

In just a few days, the entire Huaxia War Zone descended into chaos like a pot of porridge.

Originally, the various major war zones that had gradually stabilized also, under this influence of chaos, erupted with many battles.

Countless survivors lost their lives in this chaos storm.

And many third-stage individuals also died in this chaos.

No one realized what this signified.

Only he and Lin An know that those third-stage individuals killed by the fake fourth stages are essentially the elite of humanity.

This group of fourth stages created by the refugees not only accelerates the process, but also destroys Earth's future potential.

「Eat the meat of these evildoers! 」

「We can not only be saved by God, but also eradicate sin at its root! 」

「Why do zombies eat people? Because the human soul is in the flesh! These monsters can grow stronger by eating people, so of course we can too! 」

On the makeshift altar, a woman holding a small knife, her face deranged, cut a piece of flesh from the man bound before her.

She shouted loudly while her actions never ceased.

Clearly, behind her a phantom coalesced: a blurry, compassionate deity's illusory form.

But under the shining holy light, she utterly ignored the bound man's pleas for mercy, ruthlessly wielding the knife.

With each shrill scream, she waved the knife in her hand, and a palm-sized piece of flesh and blood fell into her palm.

Like feeding dogs, looking at the crowd kneeling all over the ground, unable to resist crawling closer, the woman excitedly raised the piece of meat in her hand.

「Look! 」

「This meat has spirit! 」

「Eating the meat of evildoers can cleanse our sins! Even if we eat the meat of the good, we inherit their will and help them find liberation! 」

Deliberately projecting light onto the freshly cut piece of meat, she, who calls herself the Mother of Humanity, then threw the meat out.

In the blink of an eye, amid the frenzied atmosphere of the whole scene, people swarmed forward like they were scrambling for food.

「This is mine! Mine! 」

「Don't compete with me! If you keep grabbing, I'll eat you! 」

「Ahhhhh!! Let me go! Don't bite me! My leg, I'm not... 」

Scrambling chaos.

Dense chewing sounds and wailing cries rang out in the crowd.

Under the woman's guidance, the entire sacrificial ritual began to go mad.

Clearly everyone knows humans cannot eat each other; only monsters eat people.

But under the woman's preaching, people seemed to have completely forgotten this.

A fourth-stage being, one capable of displaying unimaginable power, told them this secret.

Who wouldn't want to try it?

In the morbid atmosphere, the crowd began to lose reason, biting their fellow humans at an astonishing speed.

Amid such a horrifying scene.

On the altar, the woman couldn't help but laugh.

Yes! Just like that!

Believe that eating people grants power! The more who believe, the faster she completes her mission!

Immersed in the imminent completion of her mission, gaining greater power, the woman remained unaware of the killing intent above her head.

"Spread faith, create chaos, spread false information."

"Not only to create many gods, to stop me from absorbing faith."

"Under massive false guidance, moreover planting a 'seed' in survivors' hearts."

His expression turned icy cold.

Lin An clenched his fists silently, his eyes fixed on the crowd below that had gone mad, like a collective zombification.

After verifying all internal anomalies, he confirmed it was the work of the escapees.

Not only tampering with faith-based aspects, the escapees' methods were even more heinous than he had imagined.

First, they artificially created many divine beings, displaying miracles under various religious banners.

No matter whether Lin An can kill all these "gods," after this wave of chaos, people will naturally bury a seed in their hearts.

Many gods appeared, each claiming to be the savior of the apocalypse.

And Lin An also said that; in the future, who would still believe?

Furthermore, large numbers impersonated the military, impersonated Long An, and even outright impersonated Lin An as false fourth-stage beings, making survivors distrust any side.

As for spreading false information, that is the most vicious.

Taking the false fourth-stage occupying this safe zone as an example, this woman who calls herself the mother of humanity simply wants to kill everyone!

By deliberately mixing "power" into human flesh, making people truly believe eating humans makes them stronger, once this news spreads, many survivors will surely try it!

Even if after eating they find it actually does nothing.

But are those who have eaten human still considered human?

The fragile trust and unity among survivors will also be completely destroyed.

The situation abroad is worse than domestically.

Lin An took a deep breath; the Cain's Blade in his hand instantly appeared in his grip.

The situation is worse than he thought.

It's no longer a matter of progress.

Even he has to admit he underestimated the escapees' methods.

In just a few days, the cards the escapees scattered spread like a meme virus, appearing at incredible speed across all war zones.

If left unchecked, Lin An doubts he can still break through to fifth stage relying on faith power!

The escapees not only want to drag him to death, but also plan to utterly destroy humanity's future civilization!

We can't delay any longer!

Realizing he must kill all these false fourth-stages, even if his hands are stained with blood.

Lin An's eyes sharpened; he simply decided to eradicate them all.

One hundred seventy false fourth-stages—killing them is troublesome, but for him, even if another batch appears later, he must kill them!

As long as he drags on until he reaches fifth stage, he is confident he can re-enter the dungeon and slaughter the last escapees!

His resolve is firm.

Looking at the completely mad crowd below and the laughing woman, Lin An unsheathed his sword and charged forward without hesitation.

"Attack!"

A fierce shout.

Just as Lin An was about to order Zhang Tie to split up and control the chaos, a message from Wen Ya flashed urgently.

"Lin An!"

"Not good!"

"Quickly look at the battle zone channel!"
