CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 461: THE DEATHLESS OLD MOTHER_2

Following that, Li Yu stood on the roof of the vehicle, took out his telescope, and observed the activities at the lathe factory.

The lathe factory was different from ordinary food and clothing processing plants; just at the entrance, there was a tall iron railing set up.

The security level was very high.

But at the entrance, there was no one on duty. The guard station was deserted, which Li Yu found rather strange.

Standing here, he could see the main gate, but not the specific situation inside the factory. Li Yu then said to Third Uncle, "Third Uncle, I’ll take a few people to scout the situation. You all wait here."

Third Uncle nodded, indicating he would take care of things here.

Li Yu felt relieved, so he called over Lao Lü, Li Gang, Li Tie, and He Bing to slowly approach the lathe factory along the edge of the building.

...

Inside the lathe factory, a large group of people was discussing in an empty workshop.

"Old Qin, we should hurry and leave. We can’t defeat Wusheng The Mother. Continuing to persevere like this is meaningless," a simple and honest-looking middle-aged man advised.

In this empty workshop, there were twenty-three people wearing the former factory uniforms, which now seemed somewhat oversized.

All of them looked pale and thin, clearly malnourished.

But the spirit and demeanor of these people were different from ordinary folks.

Their movements were very measured.

Whether standing or sitting, they did so in an organized manner.

The man called Old Qin had a square face and an air of stern integrity. Hearing the simple man’s advice, he righteously declared:

"No, we can’t leave. Wusheng The Mother has harmed so many people. The last time Ah Huang and the others went out to find food, they were taken away by them. If we leave here, what about Ah Huang?" Old Qin said indignantly, huffing with anger.

No one spoke. Old Qin continued, "If any of you were taken away by Wusheng The Mother’s people to be Sacrificial Food, would you be willing?

We must find out whether Ah Huang and the others are alive or dead!"

Hearing Old Qin’s words, there was a collective somberness among the people.

Wusheng The Mother.

In Chenzhou City, she was almost like a godly being, albeit one that deserved quotation marks.

After the apocalypse, using the slogan of saving humanity, she continuously and crazily brainwashed Survivors.

In this post-apocalyptic world, many people fell into despair and were easily brainwashed by such chaotic doctrines.

But many Survivors didn’t know that now, a year after the apocalypse had erupted, many deeply poisoned by belief foolishly accepted Wusheng The Mother’s teachings that offering up their bodies could free them from suffering and lead them to a blissful world.

Things that even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe before the apocalypse, somehow Wusheng The Mother managed to brainwash these people.

Later, in order to expand the number of her followers, she crazily recruited followers, even employing coercive methods.

Now in the entire Chenzhou City, the number of people who had joined Wusheng The Mother’s teachings was countless.

Initially, she let the Survivors search for food on their own. Later, when food became scarce, those who were severely brainwashed sacrificed themselves.

For this, Wusheng The Mother even came up with a slogan: Become Sacrificial Food to reach bliss early.

That group of followers took pride in being able to sacrifice themselves as food.

Such obviously deceitful practices were believed by so many, which Old Qin and the others found incomprehensible.

At first, they didn’t pay attention, and Wusheng The Mother, seeing that they were united and strong-willed, did not target them.

Later, Old Qin had advised some nearby Survivors not to join, and indeed some Survivors did not.

Then Wusheng The Mother claimed there would be heavy rain within three days. Indeed, heavy rain came not long after, resulting in a Zombie Tide.

This caused her followers to believe in her even more, and other Survivors gradually began to believe in Wusheng The Mother as well.

Later on, Wusheng The Mother learned that Old Qin had advised many people against joining, and she held a grudge against the people of the lathe factory.

Once, Wusheng The Mother, along with her hundreds of followers, came to the outside of the lathe factory intending to convert Old Qin and the others.

But Old Qin and his group refused to join, and they used materials inside the factory to make Molotov Cocktails and other weapons, ready to fight to the death.

This forced Wusheng The Mother and her people to leave.

Before Wusheng The Mother left, she pointed at Old Qin and said, "Hopeless, a demon of this world."

Her words changed the way her trusting followers looked at Old Qin and his group.

Heretics.

Old Qin and the others had originally planned to leave this place to avoid Wusheng The Mother’s wrath.

But just a few days before their departure, Ah Huang went out to search for food and ended up being kidnapped by Wusheng The Mother’s followers!

This was something Old Qin and the others found extremely hard to accept.

Ah Huang was the youngest among them, only 20 years old, with the prime of his life ahead, yet he was taken away by Wusheng The Mother’s people.

Having a good understanding of Wusheng The Mother’s followers, Old Qin was very clear about the fate of those who joined the Lotus Sect.

Especially those who joined later – it was a simple matter: the most loyal followers of Wusheng The Mother had not yet offered themselves as Sacrificial Food. Instead, it was those who were newly joined and brainwashed that willingly became Sacrificial Food.
