Chapter 57: The Way Out
"Father, after Selena came, she sent us a lot of things, and I was a little embarrassed to take them." Barr finds Mamba and shows him some of the household items in his hand.
Mamba herself received a gift from Selena, including a nice little cabinet.
The Gathering now faces a new situation, and before Catherine and Selena joined, the Gathering was largely free of private ownership.
All food, water, and small quantities are in the common possession of everyone, and what is yours is mine, and mine is yours.
And now, the productivity has come up, and there are more and more things in the gathering place, but fortunately, food, clothing, housing and transportation are still distributed by the gathering place, and everyone has a share.
The means of production are still publicly owned, and the money he makes is basically in the hands of Mamba, and the income and expenditure he handles are all transparent and open.
But Catherine and Selena are not like them.
They all have their own personal belongings, and there are quite a few of them.
When Catherine was there before, her things were in the "subspace backpack", and the others didn't think about it.
Now that Selena is here, looking at the pile of stuff in her room, it's hard to say that no one will blush.
Fortunately, Selena was more knowledgeable and took the initiative to take out some items as gifts for everyone, which also greatly alleviated the conflict.
But the contradiction still exists, and Mamba has to start thinking about how to solve this problem.
Selena's actions also touched Catherine, and she then took out some decorative objects to share with everyone.
Anyway, it was useless for these things to stay in the "subspace backpack", and Catherine already knew that it was impossible for her to leave the gathering place again.
Catherine had another item in her backpack that she had collected during the expedition and had not been known to anyone else.
It was a blood-soaked notebook that had congealed into a single piece that could not be opened at all.
Not knowing who to give the notebook to, she finally decided to take it with her to the idol.
"Lord, I have always had selfish ......" Laying down the notebook in front of the idol, Catherine prayed silently.
"I didn't confess to the Lord, and I hid some of the booty, and I was guilty......"
She carefully organized the wording: "I am willing to follow the Lord forever and give everything I have, please forgive me for what I have done in the past." ”
After a moment of emptiness and silence, an ethereal voice sounded in Catherine's head: "I heard ......"
As if a forgiveness, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief: "This notebook was found from the corpse of the driver of the mechanical guard, I think it must have a very important role, but it can't be flipped through now......"
Before she could finish her sentence, a man walked into the room behind her.
"Catherine, are you praying here? The Lord asked me to come, is there anything I can help with? "The tea powder is as lively and bright as ever.
Seeing the blood-soaked notebook in front of her, Cha Mo didn't wait for her to open her mouth and said, "Are you going to clean this notebook?" Then I'm going to fetch a bucket of water......"
……
Of course, Tang Hao knew what Catherine was thinking, there was no comparison in the past, and she could still use not knowing, not knowing, and not knowing as a shield.
But after Selena came, there was an obvious difference in the attitude of the two towards themselves and the gathering place.
Catherine has to make an appearance even if she does it, after all, in her cognition, Tang Hao has the right to life and death for them.
Tang Hao himself is very self-aware of himself, of course he is not a real "god", at most he only has some relatively powerful authority.
Maybe he can still rely on the so-called "miracles" to fool the members of the gathering place at this stage, but sooner or later he will still show his stuff.
That's because Tang Hao himself doesn't plan to nest in this dark underground and live a lifetime guarding this pile of rags.
One day, Tang Hao will leave here and return to the blue sky and white clouds, the sun, the moon and the stars.
For this purpose, Tang Hao needs to mobilize all the power in his hands, then he must not let these people under him become ignorant ants.
And their growth will definitely threaten Tang Hao's position.
This seems to be a paradox, Tang Hao's current behavior is quite self-defeating.
Therefore, Tang Hao hopes that he can find a newcomer manufacturing factory as soon as possible, and gain the ability to act by accessing the module.
Even if this means that he has stepped down from the altar from now on, at least he has a way out, instead of sitting on this stone chair forever and being a "god" who has been imprisoned for the rest of his life.
……
Susie's work is relatively smooth, probably because she has experience in manufacturing "G-type standard construction formwork", and she is very handy in disassembling the octopus machine.
She drew a mechanical diagram of the mechanical octopus, but with the parts stored in the current gathering place, it was clear that it was not enough to replicate another mechanical octopus.
Susie can only put the mechanical octopus back on, and the good news is that the "cold fusion power core" of the mechanical octopus is detachable, and can be removed to power the "electric furnace" when not in use.
With the two "Cold Fusion Power Cores", the "G-Type Standard Construction Formwork" and the "Electric Furnace" are now running at full capacity.
"Basic Set" / "Defense Set" + "All-Terrain Boots" + "Metal Spear", now all the members of the Gathering have such a set of standard equipment, and even the three children are armed to the teeth.
Soon, the sixth expedition was almost on the agenda.
……
"Cha Mo, what have you been doing these days? Mamba was asking everyone if they wanted to buy anything, and they could report it for the expedition to bring back. ”
Ena was about the same age as Cha Mo, and the two had a good relationship, and she saw that Cha Mo had been fiddling with the bucket and pieces of paper, so she leaned over and asked.
After receiving the personal order of the "Lord", the tea powder can be said to have tried his best to clean and separate the notebook.
After several rinses, peels, and drying, most of the notebook's paper was finally legible.
She gathered all the dried papers: "This is the task that the Lord has given me, and I am almost ready to go back to my life." ”
"By the way, Mamba said let's pick things ourselves? Didn't he say how much the limit was? Aren't you afraid that our lion will open his mouth? ”
Ena helped her put away the paper: "You think beautifully, he said that after dinner today, he will talk to us about the welfare of the gathering place." What do you mean by this benefit? ”
"It's definitely a good thing," Cha Mo said with a smile, "Now that we have made so much money selling clothes and boots, we must improve everyone's lives, just wait and see." ”
