Chapter 1433 Under the Disaster, All Living Beings Behave in Various Ways
"Let's go find Fiona!"
Tang En said and jumped out of bed, then stayed for a moment: "Where is she now? Take me there."
Egwen had no choice but to take him to teleport to find Fiona.
"Don't teleport there, I want to see what's going on outside."
Eggwin nodded and took him out of the emergency center. When Tang En saw the street outside, he suddenly became stunned.
"This is where?"
"Ellington's Underground City."
"The underground Ellington I built was not like this..."
The underground Ellington in front of Tang En is built in criss-crossing caves. The buildings are layered on top of each other. They were originally designed and built with silver-white metal structures, but now they are all gray, with a large number of buildings. Human resources are used to fight the creatures of chaos, and people are not even in the mood to clean up.
Looking down from a distance, the houses and streets below are like slums. The streets are crowded with a large number of people, most of whom are injured. The healthy people have been pulled out to fight against the chaotic creatures.
There was a hint of sadness and melancholy on Egwen's face: "The surface world has almost been completely conquered by chaotic creatures. The remaining area is simply not enough to support people's lives. Now 50% of the residents have moved to the underground world."
"What about the remaining 50%?"
"Some of them died in the battle, and some of them were transferred to Lolita and Lolia."
After a pause, Aegwin sighed and said: "It has been more than two years without sunlight, and it is completely impossible to grow crops in the surface world. Lady Nysclaire helped us establish a basic ecosystem in the underground world, so that we can Crops can be cultivated even without sunlight. Now our druids in the Temple of the Earth Goddess are all busy cultivating crops. Even if they have bread skills, there is simply not enough food to eat."
"..."
"Sir Anita Lyle helped us establish water purification systems in various underground cities, so that we don't have to worry about water pollution."
"Lord Caloma River stabilized the lava near the underground city..."
"Lord Icardis maintains the air circulation in various underground cities..."
"Lord Isagolot stabilized the order barrier of the underground city to prevent chaotic creatures from sniffing the atmosphere here."
"Although the gods of the dark system cannot directly help us survive, they can reduce the factors that are not conducive to our survival."
"As for Lord Jabilni... alas."
Egwin stopped talking, shook his head and changed the subject: "In short, thanks to the existence of those gods, we can continue to survive."
Tang En let out a long sigh. After the arrival of these gods, they finally came in handy. They were able to keep Purandal's life from extinction. Now there is still hope.
But when Tang En saw the pedestrians, his heart sank again.
Pedestrians on the street had numb faces and dull eyes, like walking zombies, having completely lost hope in life.
At the beginning of the third Chaos Invasion War, Tang En remembered that these people's faces were still full of hope for victory.
Only two years have passed, and they have been completely swallowed up by despair and completely numb...
"Because the situation is so bad, nine out of ten news are bad news, and the remaining one is considered good news even if it is not bad news."
Egwin held Tang En's arm tightly, as if he would disappear if he wasn't careful. She said, "But this time you are back, and they will be able to hear some really good news."
Is this the good news they want to hear?
Tang En smiled bitterly. Rather than returning, what they wanted to hear more was that the war was over and that the Purandal Alliance had won the final victory, right?
There was a sudden commotion in front of the street, and a large number of refugees gathered there.
"What's going on over there?"
Aegwin frowned: "It's them again... and they haven't been completely destroyed yet."
"What's the meaning?"
"The current war situation is very bad. People are forced to hide in the underground world to survive and are swallowed by despair. This situation is a breeding ground for cults. Recently, a doomsday sect called the Resurrection Cult was born."
"They seem to be the product of several cults that had not been completely suppressed and destroyed before and merged with each other under pressure. The new teachings absorbed the teachings of the Serpent of Darkness and the Chaos God Cult. They have a strong ability to brainwash. In this kind of despair, Under such circumstances, people's belief in several sects such as the Holy See of Light is declining day by day, and that extreme teaching can easily attract believers."
Egwen looked ahead and said: "They claim that the world will surely perish. Only by allowing all souls to enter the magic energy network can people avoid the destruction of the material world and be reborn in the soul world."
"Hide, hide in the magic network?"
Tang En was stunned: "Don't those idiots know that the magic energy network exists based on magic nodes and artificial soul servers?"
"You said they were idiots, how could they know?"
Egwen shook his head and said very angrily: "What's more, even if they know it, they won't care. In this case, if there is a place to escape, those losers will hold on tightly."
Tang En looked at Eggwin in great surprise. This was the first time he had seen Eggwin so surprised by such a thing.
"Now that you know about the existence of this cult, why haven't Alleria and the others taken action yet?"
"Of course it's because their leader has been killed, and what's left are some small fish and shrimps."
Suddenly a familiar voice came, and right after Tang En felt like he was being hugged by someone from behind: "You finally woke up!"
"Laura?"
Tang En instantly judged the identity of the person behind him based on the contact area and voice.
"Go get rid of those guys."
Laura was talking to herself, there was no one around her.
"Ghost agent?"
"Um."
Laura smiled and said: "The situation is quite special now, so I am responsible for managing the ghost agents."
As soon as she finished speaking, the dense crowd in front of her was suddenly pushed aside, and a group of cultists who were promoting extremist doctrines fled in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, arrows were shot from all the shadowed corners.
However, a shield suddenly appeared on those cultists, helping them block the attack.
"Hey, what a nasty guy..."
Laura frowned: "Use the magic-breaking arrow."
A sharp roar sounded, and the escaping cultists were instantly pinned to the ground.
"what happened?"
Tang En was stunned: "The intelligent spellcasting system is set to lose effect when entering urban areas."
Eggwin said: "That's true, but these cultists have mastered certain imitation capabilities by analyzing the working principle of smart watches, and deciphered the casting signals of several spells. Although they cannot access the magic network, they can still pass through Emitting false signals to gain a certain level of spellcasting ability."
It sounds like a pseudo base station.
"At the beginning, we thought about locking up these people and educating them. After all, combat power is so scarce now, and population is an important resource. However, after we found that they refused to change despite repeated admonishment, we simply killed them."
Laura shrugged: "After all, feeding prisoners also consumes food."
Although inhumane, this is the wisest choice during an emergency like this.
"Let's go take a look at the front."
Laura said with a strange expression: "Your Jbiniel is promoting the Holy See of Light in the square. Maybe she will be very happy to see you."
Looking at her strange smile, Tang En had a bad premonition: "It must be Yebirni."
"No, no, no, it would be more appropriate to call her Jbiniel now..."
After arriving at the crowded square, Tang En immediately understood why he had that bad premonition.
"Please have confidence in the Holy See of Light... ugh..."
"We...wuwu...we will definitely defeat the darkness..."
"Please don't abandon us...please believe we will win..."
Yebierni, who perfectly inherited the bloodline of Tang En and Olina, has grown into a very slim beauty in the past two years. The blond hair inherited from Olina is quite dazzling, and she is set off by a plain white sacrificial robe. She has a somewhat noble and sacred aura, no less than Iluli who is standing next to her handing out leaflets.
but……
If she hadn't cried so hard that her nose was bubbling.
"Sir, what you did makes me very embarrassed."
Iluli sighed. It was already very embarrassing to distribute flyers in the square with her own gods to promote the Holy See of Light. Now that her own gods look like they are being bullied, how can people choose to believe in him... Or believe in "her"?
Yebierni said with a cry: "But, but, those people's eyes are so scary... I obviously didn't do anything to them..."
Iluli sighed again. It's precisely because you didn't do anything that they were angry with you...
Under the current circumstances, religion is clearly needed to bring hope to people. However, due to the arrival of gods and the deterioration of the war situation, all major religions have basically disintegrated, and some people have even chosen to believe in cults...
It was based on this situation that Alleria and Fiona decided to let Iluli, Yesolini, and Yebilni stand up to reorganize the Holy See of Light, which was on the verge of collapse, and rebuild their faith.
It's a pity that they overestimated Yebierni...
That's right, the current Jerbinir is a girl who likes to cry and is very timid and shy. She is completely unworthy of that divine name, so those people jokingly call her Jerbinir.
"I mentioned it just now," Egwen sighed, "Lord Yebierni's current task is to rebuild the belief system, win over those believers again, and use belief to rekindle people's hope, but... the current effect is very ineffective. good."
Tang En's mood was very complicated, because he could guess why the effect was not good.
I have believed in you for so many years, but in the end, I did not let the believers live a good life, but watched the world usher in the end, and did not protect them when the end came, but relied on their protection to survive...
The reason why people choose to believe in gods is because they are mysterious, noble, distant, and untouchable. However, after the mysterious aura of omnipotence fades, people's belief and worship of gods collapse almost instantly. Who would choose to believe in a person who cries and cries next to him? Where's the guy?
At this time, Iluli saw Tang En being held by Egwen. All the flyers in her hand fell out with a bang. She covered her face, and tears suddenly blurred her vision.
"You... finally woke up!"
