He wanted to target Liu Tong, who was fleeing in the crowd, but those men in black robes were all wearing exactly the same clothes, and even their statures were not much different in the dark night. If you want to find Liu Tong accurately, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Gu Zhuo searched for a while and had no choice but to give up.

Seeing the group of men in black robes scattering like birds and beasts, running further and further away, Gu Zhuo drove the Doomsday Fortress back to the back of the mall.

After stopping the car, he and Chaoying went to the rear driver's seat to check on the woman.

The woman was much better now. Although there was still a deep red mark on her wrist, her mental state seemed normal. But after being frightened by the monster just now, his face was a little pale.

"It's okay. You are absolutely safe in my car now. No one can hurt you."

Gu Zhuo said to the woman.

The woman raised her head and looked at Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying. Although Chaoying is an absolute beauty, the woman in front of her is not bad in appearance, and can even be regarded as a female star. Her pale complexion at this moment added to the feeling of pity for me.

"thank you all."

The woman murmured, her voice sounding a little hoarse.

"My name is Gu Zhuo, and this is Chaoying. What's your name?"

"Yue Cen."

"Those guys in black robes, do you know who they are?"

Gu Zhuo asked straight to the point. This was the issue he was most concerned about right now.

Yue Cen nodded and turned her wrists. The two people had tied her too tightly just now. Her hands had been congested with blood, and the numbness was only getting better now.

"Those guys were taught by the prophet."

"Prophetism?"

Gu Zhuo had never heard of this religious name. It seemed that it was really a cult.

Yue Cen calmed down for a moment and began to talk about everything that happened in Jinqiao since the end of the world.

In the beginning, Jinqiao was just a small city like other places, where everyone was in danger after the doomsday came. The two people who were being held captive with him today, including the people who executed them, were all survivors who were fighting for their lives together in the beginning.

The man who was executed was named Zhao Wen, and the other woman was named Ding Yu. The four of them were all guests of the hotel. For various reasons, when the extreme cold came, they did not return home but stayed in the hotel.

Ding Yu is a waiter in the hotel. Zhao Wen and Yue Cen are both guests of the hotel. Yue Cen has to stay in this hotel for a week because of a business trip. After the emergency news was released, she originally wanted to buy a plane ticket to go home, but all the plane tickets were sold out, and there was no one left.

Not only that, train tickets and so on are all sold out.

Helpless, she could only stay in the hotel first and prepare to go home after this period of time. Unexpectedly, this decision changed her life.

Liu Tong is different from the three of them. He is an out-and-out rich second generation, and the hotel is his family's property.

Originally, he just came here to have some fun and get familiar with the family business. Unexpectedly, I was trapped with them.

There were originally a dozen or so scattered people in the hotel. A dozen or so people formed a small group. When the power and heating were cut off, they joined each other to stay warm and struggled to survive in the apocalypse.

As a result, one day, an organization whose members all wore black robes found here. Without saying a word, they tied everyone up, covered their eyes with black cloth, and escorted them to a prison.

When they regained the light again, a man stood condescendingly in front of them.

The man claimed to be the high priest of the Prophet's religion. He came to convey the prophet's will, and soon half of the people would become monsters.

So it is necessary to tie them up now. When that day is over, they will naturally let go of those who have not turned into monsters.

Zhao Wen felt that they were just talking nonsense. He had never heard of the so-called prophetic teachings.

But the high priest just sneered, dropped these few words and left without looking back.

During those days, Yue Cen clearly remembered that a group of them lived a life that was worse than that of dogs. They ate only dross and relied entirely on a large iron stove for heating. They had to add firewood to the iron stove. Plus the fire. If one person's movements are slightly delayed, the group of them will not have any food supplies that day.

Liu Tong was used to living in a rich family, so naturally he couldn't bear this kind of torture.

Yue Cen even comforted him at that time.

In fact, she should have thought of it earlier. According to Liu Tong's fear of hardship and his hypocritical character, it was only a matter of time before he ended up like this.

After several days of torture that were worse than pigs and dogs, the accident happened on the day of the blood moon.

Recalling the scene that day, Yue Cen trembled a few times, as if she could still remember every scene vividly.

That day, most of the people in prison with her suddenly fell to the ground and started twitching non-stop.

They were twitching and showing expressions of extreme pain, as if they were enduring heart-to-bone pain.

Yue Cen saw something was wrong, and she hurried forward to save people, but no matter what methods she took or how hard she tried, she could not break free from the iron chains tightly tied to her body.

"Save people, come and save people!"

Yue Cen weakly shouted outside the prison that if he didn't save people, it looked like these people might really die.

However, the men in black robes who would come in from outside and scold them whenever they yelled a little were now gone, as if they were dead.

"Save people..."

Yue Cen watched helplessly as these people struggled in pain in front of him. They even scratched their own skin with their hands, leaving dazzling blood marks on their faces and bodies.

Suddenly, Liu Tong's scream sounded nearby.

The rest of the people, who had not had any trouble yet, all looked in the direction of Liu Tong, but they saw something that made their breathing stagnant.

I saw an ugly-looking monster, covered in blood and vaguely humanoid, struggling to pounce on Liu Tong.

If it hadn't been for the chains that the black-robed man had tied up earlier, Liu Tong might have been knocked down by it at this moment.

Following the monster's movements, more and more "patients" who were still lying on the ground moaning began to change.

While they were making sounds that were not human at all, they were frantically trying to attack the few remaining survivors.

Seeing a monster stretching its hand forward hard and about to catch Liu Tong, Zhao Wen flew over and kicked the monster in the head, kicking its whole head open. The monster lay on the ground twitching. For a while.

"Liu Tong, come over here!"

Zhao Wen is the oldest in their team and takes care of everyone as a younger brother or sister. At this time, he bought Liu Tong a chance and pulled him to his side.

At the moment when he pulled Liu Tong to his side, the monster that was lying on the ground dying after being kicked in the head suddenly regained its vitality and jumped up to jump over.

"Damn it, you're playing me!"

Zhao Wen also didn't expect that the monster with its head cut open could actually get up alive and well.

Fortunately, the chain caught it in time. As soon as it jumped into the air, it fell heavily again.

But no one knew how long the iron chain could last. Zhao Wen asked the survivors to hide behind him. He protected everyone tightly, like the strongest wall.

Just when everyone and the monster were in a stalemate, the men in black robes ran in. They looked out of breath, as if they had just been through a hard fight.

They opened the prison door, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand, and perfectly bypassed the furthest distance the chained monsters could reach.

The man in black robe handcuffed the remaining survivors, then untied their chains and dragged them out of the prison.

Those monsters stared at everyone, desperately trying to pounce on them. If it weren't for these men in black robes who were familiar with the safest distance, Zhao Wen and the others would not have been able to die even if they had a hundred and eighty lives.

Fortunately, all the survivors were rescued in the end. The man in black robe closed the prison door again and led everyone out of the prison to meet the high priest.

Yue Cen left the Iron Stove and the prison for the first time. She saw chaos outside. Many survivors like them were pulled out and dragged to the square.

Not only that, the moon outside that looked like it was stained with blood made her heart tremble, and a feeling of fear arose from the bottom of her heart.

When everyone was frightened, in order to appease them, Zhao Wen pretended to be calm and smiled bitterly at them:

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens soon, even if I die, I will definitely die before you!"

When he said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he was also the one being dragged on the ground.

After all the survivors who had not mutated were thrown into the square, the high priest counted the number of people and made sure there were no mistakes. Then he spoke and said to everyone:

"Have you seen this blood moon in the sky?"

The high priest pointed his finger at the sky, and the blood-red light shone on him, making him look particularly ferocious.

"The prophet has long predicted that this day will come. The prophet will never lie to us! A few months ago, he predicted the arrival of the extreme cold, and now, he predicted the birth of these hateful monsters! "

Yue Cen didn't understand what he wanted to say, let alone who the prophet he was talking about was. She just looked at the blood moon and felt a piercing coldness from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

"We, the Prophet Cult, have been hiding behind the crowd for too long. Now is the opportunity to prove us. We can no longer hide! And these monsters are destruction to ordinary people, but to us, they are gifts from gods. The most powerful weapon is the proof of the prophet’s great power!”

The high priest talked endlessly with great emotion.

"He is like the second fool in the village who only knows how to dig potatoes."

Zhao Wen complained, regardless of the stern looks cast by the other men in black robes.

The high priest spoke so eloquently that Yue Cen didn't understand a few words.

But she could vaguely hear that this religion did not seem to be a new religion that appeared after the end of the world. It seemed to have existed for a while.

As if talking in his sleep, the high priest continued to talk a lot.

Finally, feeling that the atmosphere was almost complete, he revealed his true purpose today:

"After witnessing the prophet's divine power, any of you are infected by the divine power and want to join the religion!? I can guarantee that the Prophet's Cult will bless the safety of every loyal believer!"
