Chapter 130 Faith
"How comfortable!"
"My back was hurting, but suddenly it doesn't hurt anymore."
"I feel relaxed too."
"What's happening?"
...
The people who rushed to see the plane were talking with each other. They wanted to approach and take a look, but didn't dare to.
This time, Qi Jingchen had used an area of attack skill with great effort, and the effect was very good. Almost all the survivors who came into contact with the white light had a good impression of it and felt exceptionally close to it.
The plane's door was open, but Qi Jingchen didn't get off. He just sat on the plane and looked down at Shi Kun's father.
The short, fat man initially scolded Shi Kun and felt that he shouldn't have offended the people in the S city safety zone. But after being bathed in the white light, his expression immediately changed.
"Son, what is this?" Shi Hong pulled his son over and asked.
Shi Hong was a successful entrepreneur in this town before the apocalypse. He began doing business when others were too scared to, opened factories, and later bought a state-owned factory. Later on, his factories grew and he even entered the real estate business...
He made a lot of money, had countless workers under his command, and stayed behind in the town when all the other leaders left. These factors contributed to him becoming the leader of this small safety zone.
When he led this safety zone, he worked tirelessly. He also knew many people in the business world and knew the locations of some warehouses. He even staked out a large supermarket, and led people to bring back a lot of food from there, which had sustained the safety zone until now.
But all this still wasn't enough.
There were too many zombies. If this continued, the people in the safety zone could only wait around to become zombies!
He did not really believe in the Dark God, but life was the most important thing for people. As long as they could survive, he thought that they could believe in anything.
Shi Kun just now came back and said that the Dark God was a fraud, which confused Shi Hong. He was afraid of offending the S city safety zone, so he rebuked Shi Kun. But then countless white balls of light fell from the sky.
The instant Shi Kun came into contact with the white light, he felt that the white light was a good thing, a really good thing.
"Dad, it's Light Ability. I met a Light Ability-user in S city this time! There's dark energy everywhere in the world now, I think only Light Ability can help us live a good life." Shi Kun said.
"Light Ability?" Shi Hong looked at Qi Jingchen.
"Yes, Light Ability. Dad, these helicopters are all from the B city safety zone. They came here to protect the Light Ability-user. Light is better than darkness, right?" Shi Kun swallowed nervously because he had offended Yao Mengzhi, and now could only try to make his father trust him and leave with him.
As long as he saw his son's expression, Shi Hong could guess his son's thoughts. So he asked, "So, what do you think we should do?"
"Let's leave and follow the Light Ability-user?" Shi Kun asked carefully.
"Okay, let's leave and follow that Light Ability-user!" Shi Hong said.
Shi Kun was stunned. He thought it would be very difficult to persuade his old man, but contrary to expectation he made up his mind so quickly?
"A tree might die from moving, but people will not! It's better to move!" Shi Hong said.
This small safe zone had a lot of people. There was still food from before the apocalypse, but now most of it was inedible.
If they continued like this, many people would starve to death. So leaving made sense.
Moreover...his son probably offended the people in the S city safety zone, so it would be best to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to be targeted by the S city safety zone!
Shi Hong was a very decisive person. He immediately announced via the safety zone loudspeaker, telling everyone to pack and get ready to leave.
"Leave? To where?" Many people were confused and some were also unhappy about leaving. Although their days in the safety zone were tough and people were starving to death, they feared that if they went out, they'd become zombies!
"We don't want to leave."
"There are only zombies outside."
When Shi Hong heard these words, he snatched the loudspeaker and shouted, "If you don't want to come, don't come. It's more convenient for fewer people to leave anyways. I hope you won't come!"
Hearing that, everyone obediently started packing up their stuff. During this time, several helicopters landed outside the safe zone.
The people in the helicopters didn't get out, but it was easy to guess who they were.
"Yao Mengzhi really cares about you. She came up here herself," Nie Yi said to Chu Zhen.
"I think she's changed. I even suspect that she is not herself anymore," Chu Zhen looked at Nie Yi and chuckled bitterly.
Nie Yi was taken aback for a moment, then lightly coughed. Didn't Yao Mengzhi just become someone else? It was someone else who took over her body ten years later.
Fortunately, he and Qi Jingchen were both reborn. Otherwise, this would be really difficult.
The small safe zone was very efficient. Soon, everyone had finished packing. Of course, this was probably because they didn't have much stuff.
In winter, everyone wore more layers, meaning more pockets to store things. They stuffed many things into their clothes, so they had less to carry with their hands. In the end, there were hardly any people with bags, big or small.
"Each community is responsible for accounting for their own people!" Shi Hong said, "Today, let's eat together. I'll provide the food. Then we'll rest tonight and set off tomorrow."
It was already late in the day, so it was impossible to leave immediately. Some people were bound to be slow in the morning, so Shi Hong simply gathered everyone together, and discussed how to manage those people.
The number of survivors in this safe zone was not large, but it was not small either. Among them, about a third of them were ability users. They sat together with a bewildered expression on their faces, uncertain about their future.
Qi Jingchen suddenly said to Nie Yi, "Accompany me to talk to them?"
"Okay," Nie Yi agreed.
"When the time comes, you have to perform well," Qi Jingchen said again.
"I will." Nie Yi followed behind Qi Jingchen and walked forward.
The survivors of this safe zone were packed into a factory waiting for dinner and for tomorrow to arrive. They sat in pairs, and the yard was full of people, but few people talked and even fewer people were in the mood to talk.
Most of them had experienced so many hardships, they knew they had to go with the flow. Some people were in extremely dire situations.
For example, a woman who was skin and bones held a skinny little girl in her arms. She asked people one by one if she could exchange for a little bit of milk powder. But by this time, even if someone had milk powder, they wouldn't want to exchange it with her. Not only that, very few people had any left...
The people she asked all shook their heads, and the answer was always the same: "No."
Tears appeared in the woman's eyes, but she could only wipe them dry and continue asking.
She knew that no one had enough food, but for some reason her child stopped being able to eat. At her wits end she wanted to give her milk. After all, she couldn't just watch as her child's life slipped away...
The child's father went out a few days ago to find food and never came back. If the child was gone too, she didn't think she could survive, so she could only beg for help.
Even though she knew deep down that her daughter probably could not be saved at this point.
Then there was a man who was dragging his injured leg. A large part of his leg was rotten, and he could not stand up.
He was a powerful ability user, but due to his leg injury, he had been eating his supplies for the past few days. Although he packed up and came here with the rest of them, he did not think he would really be able to leave. He even thought that he could only wait to die.
There was also a boy who was seven or eight years old. His family was gone, but he happened to awaken the water ability. Otherwise, he probably would have starved to death. However, he later found that he seemed to be turning into a zombie.
During the day, he opened a package of food to eat. At the time, he felt that the food tasted strange and was probably bad, but he was reluctant to waste it. After eating it, he didn't feel well...
Sitting in the corner, the child tied his feet together and then tied them to the nearby lamppost, crying while tying.
In the apocalypse, everyone had their own misfortunes.
Shi Hong cooked dinner with the food from his storage, and he even killed the only pig left in the safe zone.
The people in the safe zone were reluctant to feed the pig their own food. The pig had been raised for more than half a year and had not gained any weight, but it was still fresh pork!
The aroma of pork spread, and everyone subconsciously salivated, waiting for dinner. Some of them even thought that it would be good to eat a full meal before they died.
At this moment, the large door to the factory opened.
Many people ran back to get something they forgot before they came to the gathering point, so the door kept opening and closing, and hardly anyone noticed the person who walked in at first.
Of course, some people saw him, and once they did, they couldn't take their eyes off him.
The woman who asked everyone for milk powder and some other people looked at the entrance after they noticed the others staring and were stunned.
The person who walked in was a young man between adolescence and adulthood, wearing a white shirt, white pants, and a white coat.
White coats were rare, and wearing this color in the apocalypse was even more foolish. However, they had to admit that white clothes really suited this man.
Furthermore, the man was glowing a brilliant white in the midst of the dull gray evening.
The woman stared at the man in a daze, and saw that he was walking straight towards her. After he approached her, he put his hand on her child's head. "Good child. God have mercy on you."
God? Are there really gods in this world? The woman stared blankly at the man's hand and then saw it light up.
Was this magic? The woman felt like she should stop a stranger from touching her daughter, but she was loath to interfere. She found herself staring at the man's hand as it touched her daughter's forehead.
Her daughter had been weak before, but after the man’s hand left her forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes. "Mom, I'm hungry."
The woman burst into tears and excitedly looked at the man. "Is she better now?"
"God bless," Qi Jingchen smiled and handed a fruit the size of an egg to the girl.
It was a tomato. Sick children need some vitamin.
"Thank you, thank you!" the woman thanked him profusely.
Qi Jingchen didn't say anything. He walked slowly forward with Nie Yi and then stopped next to a man with a leg injury.
The man's injury was severe and constantly bandaged, which made the rot spread quickly. The man directly revealed the wound.
Looking at the wound, Qi Jingchen crouched down and many balls of light surrounded his wound. "God bless."
While the light enveloped the man's wound in Qi Jingchen's hands, Nie Yi, who had gone unnoticed as he wore entirely black clothes, quietly used his ice sword to cut off the necrotic flesh on the man's wound. With the help of his spiritual strength, he did it quickly and well.
At this time, Qi Jingchen let the light enter this man's wound. With no necrotic tissue blocking it, the wound quickly became better under the stimulation of the bright energy.
Qi Jingchen kept using his spiritual strength to observe the man's wound, instead of using more of his ability in order to conserve it.
Once the white light dissipated, the man's leg injury was completely gone.
Before, it was hard to understand exactly what happened with the girl in the woman's arms, but the white light healing the leg wound was clear as day.
It was so amazing! The white light could actually heal wounds!
Everyone recalled that the people who had crowded in front of the helicopter had said they had relaxed when bathed in white light. At that time, they had thought those people were talking nonsense, but now, they saw they may have been telling the truth!
"Can you heal people? Can you help me take a look at something?" A middle-aged woman approached Qi Jingchen but was stopped by Nie Yi.
The man with his leg healed only just came back to his senses and stood up. "Thank you, thank you!" He only felt a slight pain just now and the wound was healed completely. This was simply a miracle!
Qi Jingchen nodded to him. With an unchanged expression, he slowly walked to a corner and looked at the child bound to the lamp post. "Child, come with me."
The child looked at Qi Jingchen and shook its head repeatedly.
"God will dispel the darkness and let you have a new life." Qi Jingchen said. Nie Yi had already cut the rope binding the child and led him to the light.
"Zombie!" Someone shouted in surprise after seeing the child. Why did he still free him when the child was already half a zombie?
Everyone was puzzled, and some even prepared to use their abilities to kill the child. At this moment, a layer of white light covered the child.
Nie Yi stood behind the child and secretly used his water ability to clean and dry the child under the shield of the light. Once the white light disappeared, a clean little boy was revealed.
Many people in the safe zone knew this child, because they all got water from him to drink. Seeing this scene, their impression of Qi Jingchen completely changed.
"Am I well now?" the child looked at Qi Jingchen in disbelief.
"God bless." Qi Jingchen patted his head.
The atmosphere on the scene became heated.
Nonetheless, Qi Jingchen exuded a serious aura. Although their eyes brimmed with fanaticism, few dared to approach Qi Jingchen to talk to him. They just looked at him excitedly from afar.
Qi Jingchen walked to the middle and slowly said, "This world is now full of dark energy. If we continue like this, everyone will be invaded by dark energy and become soulless, inferior dark creatures. Humanity will be destroyed. If we wish to reverse this fate, we only have to yearn for light and welcome our own light."
In the old lady's house in S City's safe zone, Qi Jingchen had read the doctrine of the Shadow Guard.
His spiritual strength was very strong now, and he could remember it all after reading it once. At this time, he simply took it out and used it.
There were many brainwashing things that were mostly the same. Yao Mengzhi's doctrine could be modified and he could use it directly.
He intended to create a light cult, not because he wanted to create a religion for people to believe, but rather to create an avenue to talk about this world that was already deeply corroded by dark energy.
