Chapter 025: Finding the Ark of the Covenant (Is It Recommended?) )

"If the world is very beautiful, nine points will be cool on the hot road."

This sentence comes from the Yutai classic "Talmud", although Wu Ming has personally visited a limited number of places, in his guess, there should be no exaggeration in it.

There may be countless places in the world that can compare to the scenery alone, but there is one beauty that is unique – the green trees, the stone walls, the streets...... Every corner and every detail here exudes the breath of history, as if you close your eyes and don't have to breathe hard, the vicissitudes and heaviness in the air will naturally flow into your nose, giving people spiritual fulfillment and satisfaction.

The Mastiff's accommodation is a private apartment located in the eastern area of Imenu Street, just a few hundred meters away from the one-kilometer-square ancient town of Relu Saliang, which is an excellent place to see the scenery. For more than a month after settling down, the mastiff did not do anything, just stayed in his room, occasionally made a few phone calls, and occasionally went to the street corner to buy some groceries, as if the ambush in the desert had never happened, and everything was just an illusion. Wu Ming took the initiative to talk to him several times, but the mastiff didn't pay attention to it at all, just took care of himself.

In this case, Wu Ming couldn't show any urgency in his heart, so he could only follow the fierce mastiff and stand still, and at the same time put on a tourist's posture and calmly enjoy the beautiful scenery. Sitting on the edge of the main street, drinking a glass of mint lemonade, and quietly watching the people go by, is indeed quite pleasant.

The Yutains are walking towards the Wall of Weeping, the destination of the Tak is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the place where the Arabs go is the Dome of the Rock. This is the holy place of the three great apocalyptic sects, known as the heart of the world, and those holy miracles are like the atria and ventricles of the heart, each performing its own role, attracting loyal blood and metabolizing that blood.

Of all the sights, the one that caught Wu Ming's attention the most was not the Jinding Temple behind the lush trees, but the Asa Temple, another Arab holy place opposite. It was already in ruins, the roof had collapsed in half, and the entire east side was reduced to a pile of rubble.

It was the work of the Earth Alliance Army.

The Alliance's fierce attack more than ten years ago wiped out a large number of zombies at the same time, but also caused huge losses to the ancient city, so Ezlie announced that he would withdraw from the alliance and rely on his own strength to fight against the zombies.

As one of the few countries in this world to remain independent, they have suffered heavy losses in the war against zombies, and their population has plummeted from nearly 10 million at the time of the first zombie apocalypse to two or three million at present. But the Yutai people scattered around the world return every day, either as warriors, or as doctors, or as dishwashers...... As long as they can contribute to their homeland, which has endured so much suffering, they will not hesitate.

In order to prevent the historical site from being destroyed again, they fought this battle carefully, never used any new weapons that were too lethal, and even reverted to the style of the cold weapon era for many times, using swords to smash zombie heads. That would have minimized the damage to the surrounding environment, but the war dragged on, and at a time when most of the world had almost wiped out zombies, there were still rumors of zombie disorders in many of the border towns listed in the world.

But this dilemma is about to be a thing of the past, and according to locals, a mysterious organization will hold a press conference at the Leonardo Building that afternoon, and the content of the conference is closely related to the complete eradication of zombies.

This is good news, the suffering people of Ezreel have finally waited for the light of love, and more importantly, the mastiff is finally ready to act.

After getting into a taxi and detouring nearly three kilometers around the downtown area, Wu Ming followed the mastiff to the Leonardo Building in the northeastern new city at about half past two in the afternoon, when the press conference had already begun for a while.

The press conference hall was in a warm atmosphere, and everyone present was full of red faces, and the cheers could be heard clearly at the door.

"In the last days the mountains of Reho and the temple of Glory shall be established, above all the mountains, and shall be exalted over the hills; and all nations shall flow unto this mountain. And many nations will come and say, Come! We went up to the mountain of Rehohua and ascended to the temple of the god Yagpo; He will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his ways......"

The heroic orator was quoting a passage from the book of Isaiah from "Nerves" on the stage, and his tone was impassioned and infectious. It was under his leadership that most of the people present stood up and prayed with solemn expressions.

This seems to be an unscripted speech, because Wu Ming didn't see any equipment such as a prompt on the podium, but there was a water cup with a toothbrush stuck in it.

The standing crowd played a good cover effect, Wu Ming and the Lie Mastiff entered the hall without any difficulty, and it seemed that the Lie Mastiff was not a Jidu Sect or a Yutai Sect, he had no feeling for this kind of classic, but just found an empty seat and sat down as if no one was around.

Wu Ming didn't know the details, and in this case, his skin color and appearance were already conspicuous enough, plus this overly casual jersey, if he showed disrespect as blatantly as a mastiff, he was really worried that everyone would tear him apart in a fit of rage. At the same time, there were no more spare seats next to the fierce mastiff, and it seemed to be a deliberate arrangement by the fierce mastiff, as if it was the right idea to embarrass him.

Sure enough, the orator's emotionally stimulating words finally came to an end, and the audience also sat back in their seats, leaving Wu Ming alone standing abruptly in place, looking at the person on the stage.

The man was a small, stout man, with a boxy face, and the magnifying effect of the beard, the whole head was about a quarter of the body. The straight suit is worn on him, how awkward it looks, like a strong boy from a rich and noble family who has developed prematurely, and he has to dress up with a serious appearance.

"'All the nations shall flow to this mountain.' Look, this friend from the East is the best proof of this. You must be a media person with a particularly sharp nose, because I know that my press officer is not that efficient. ”

He waved to Wu Ming generously, his eyes swept around, and finally chose a seat in the VIP seat in the first row, "Just here, this position will help you get the most informative first-hand news." But I hope you will be able to attend in formal attire next time, after all, this is a serious press conference, which is of great significance to the peace and stability of the whole world. ”

This remark is obviously too exaggerated, because Wu Ming can see very clearly that there are only two professional cameras on the sidelines.

Wu Ming looked at the fierce mastiff as if asking for advice, but the guy didn't react, which probably meant that you can do it yourself, I don't have time to take care of you.

Following Wu Ming's gaze, the orator found the fierce mastiff, and the two pale thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, obviously discovering the current situation at the first time. However, the words have already been spoken, and in front of everyone's eyes, it is ungraceful to go back on one's word.

"So I misread you." He grinned, his eyes evidently more malevolent, "Still, I'm going to ask you to sit down, for it will help you gain a long perspective, so that you don't always have to swagger and deceive without any evidence." ”

Wu Ming smiled indifferently, stepped forward without hesitation, and sat down in the VIP seat, but he was quickly calculating the current situation in his heart.

The organization logo on the curtain behind the orator is exactly the same as what Wu Ming saw on the container truck that day, that is, he and the fierce mastiff are in the same group, but judging from the current attitude and performance of the fierce mastiff, they should not deal with it very well, and it is even very likely that he is the real culprit behind the ambush.

If this is the case, what is the plan of the fierce mastiff at this moment, does he want to tear his face and make a big fuss at the press conference?

Bobu, who had recovered from his injuries, did not follow, and Yaji was also left in the apartment, which seemed to indicate that the mastiff did not want to use force, and there were more than 300 spectators gathered here, and if there was really a conflict, the situation would be completely out of control, and the authorities would inevitably intervene, no matter how powerful they were, it would be difficult to suppress them.

Thinking back to the lukewarm attitude of the mastiff towards himself in the past period, and then linking it to the current situation, Wu Ming suddenly felt that this was very likely to be a test of the cold-faced minister to himself - with the help of the enemy's malice, he sent a potentially dangerous person around him to the battlefield, this guy really has some means!

Judging by the speaker's tone, he seemed to have learned that he was an impostor, but it was not yet time to debunk it, because he had a more important task to accomplish in this conference.

"Now, it's time for us to get down to business."

The orator rolled his eyes, regained his stirring enthusiasm, and raised his arm vigorously.

The ornate velvet curtain slowly rose up, and in the center of the pulpit was a glass cover more than one person high, and the utensils inside the cover were covered with pale blue cloth, and the lights on all sides hit it, adding a touch of mystery.

"Thanks to the unremitting efforts of all the members of our Holy Ark Organization, this artifact, which has been lost for more than 2,600 years, has finally been able to see the light of day!"

The orator waved his fists in the air, his eyes lit up, as if he had just been blessed by the light of God.

"Is it the Ark of the Covenant?"

"How is this possible?"

"God is indeed merciful, and our suffering is coming to an end......"

Many people at the scene couldn't sit still, and in the buzzing praise, a few even knelt on the ground with a thud.

"That's right, it's the weapon of the gods, and we've found it!"

The orator cried out hoarsely, "Just as the nerves had prophesied, before the end of the day came his ark of the covenant in his temple, and then there would be lightning, and there would be sounds, and thunder, and earthquakes, and hail!" It can make all things and destroy all evil! Now, I, Abai, can proudly claim that the Light of God has returned to this world! Under the light of the Holy Light, the zombies and all the ugly things will be cleansed! ”
