The temporary headquarters of the Tianxing Sect is located in a large factory, near the outskirts of Haicheng, which used to be a large glass factory.

The factory covers a very large area, and Jiang Cheng roughly estimates that this factory is five or six times larger than the Beikai University he once attended.

Late at night, Jiang Cheng and the middle-aged women walked through the factory gate, the people here had not yet slept, Jiang Cheng just came in and found that there were many refugees gathered in the courtyard of the glass factory, and Jiang Cheng knew that most of them were the poorest class in Haicheng, most of them were women and children, and Jiang Cheng could even see a few disabled people inside.

At this moment, the moonlight was like a flower, reflecting on this group of refugees, making Jiang Cheng's vision clearer.

These refugees seemed to be praying, the night was very cold, but they were not afraid of the cold, at this moment, this group of refugees who were a little thinly dressed, were kneeling in the deserted factory yard, each of them with a white handkerchief or white towel on their heads, and their expressions were extremely pious and quiet.

The courtyard of the factory was very large, enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people to gather at the same time, Jiang Cheng glanced at it slightly, and found that this group of believers had packed the entire courtyard to the brim, so that the number of refugees praying here should have reached a number of more than 100,000.

Even Jiang Cheng, an independent man with no religious beliefs, was shocked by what he saw.

"Child, you must be hungry, come, Auntie will take you to eat something delicious. From the way she came, until she entered the factory, the middle-aged woman did not mention anything to Jiang Cheng about religious beliefs.

He led Jiang Cheng to the maintenance department in the workshop, which was transformed into a temporary kitchen, and at this moment, the kitchen was full of aroma, and there was obviously a cook cooking inside.

Middle-aged women should have a relatively high status in the church, and he went straight into the kitchen, but the guards did not stop him.

After a while, he came out of it, still holding a bowl in his hand, and Jiang Cheng saw the white flour cake in the bowl.

"Child, you are hungry, eat quickly!"

The middle-aged woman handed the cake to Jiang Cheng's hand, and the white flour cake even had the temperature on the woman's hand.

Surviving in the last days, Jiang Cheng is used to killing, accustomed to the cunning and evil of human nature, at this moment, in this troubled world where food is precious, a stranger suddenly handed over a white-flour cake, which made Jiang Cheng feel in a trance.

He felt as if he had returned to the Sunshine Age, the moral, loving society.

Jiang Cheng has never known much about the church, he is a person with the thinking of his thirties, and has his own independent thoughts, as for the state's propaganda of how those cults and religions harm the family, Jiang Cheng has always maintained his suspicions.

Any institution that threatens the rule of the state is generally synonymous with evil and villain, and in this world, only the victor can have justice. Only rulers can unscrupulously revise history and guide public opinion.

Take the Kuomintang and the Party during the Republic of China as an example, most of the troops that fought against the Japanese army in China at that time came from the Kuomintang and the Party, but as a loser in the civil war, it naturally ended up with a reputation for state corruption, collusion between officials and landlords, and so on.

The victor will inevitably represent the side of justice, which is the inevitability of history and the inevitability of public opinion.

The same is true of the church, perhaps its original purpose is good, hoping that people can be good, but once it threatens the long-term peace and stability of the country, it will certainly be branded as a cult or a religion.

Most of the people in these churches are the poorest refugees, and if they had no faith in their hearts, their spiritual world would have collapsed by now, and perhaps most of them would have killed and robbed people in the streets.

Although the leaders of the church organization may have some evil and crooked ideas, I have to say that these low-level parishioners are indeed very pitiful, and with God as their faith, at least their current mental state is quite healthy, although they are a little ignorant, but they are dedicated to good.

Jiang Cheng didn't know how to evaluate such a special group, and he didn't know whether to call them ignorant or crazy.

In this way, Jiang Cheng settled down in the large factory of the Tianxing Sect, and he was assigned to a ground shop in the production line workshop, which was his temporary residence.

Sleeping on the left side of Jiangcheng is an old man, in the sunny period, the old man is the father of a pair of children, he has worked hard all his life, raised his own pair of children, his family is rural, the family conditions are not good, all year round pointing to the money out of the ground for a living.

But in this way, he still provided for two college students, in order to provide for his children's schooling, and even his wife was terminally ill, he did not spend too much money on treatment.

The children's grades are not bad, and they all enter the public institution after graduation, but I don't know when it started, and the elderly rarely receive calls from the children.

I remember when I was in school, the two children would call home every month and ask the family for part of the living expenses, but after graduation, their contact with the family became less and less.

Half a year, a year, the old man can't remember how long it had been since they had called.

The old man was alone guarding three farmhouses, poor and depressed, he was too old to continue farming, and he only lived on the subsistence allowance in the village on weekdays.

He also thought about reaching out to the children to ask for money, but because of his face, he was embarrassed to open his mouth, until one day, the old man had acute asthma and urgently needed money for treatment.

He trembled and picked up the old-fashioned landline at home and dialed his children's phones, but the answer he got made the old man's heart cold.

The son told him that they had to repay the mortgage, and their life was under great pressure, and now they had no money in hand, so they would borrow it from him later, and the daughter said that she had just bought a gold necklace recently, and the family's savings had been used up.

The old man waited at home for a few days, and did not wait for his son's call, he knew that it was impossible for his children to give him a penny, at that time, the old man's faith collapsed all of a sudden, his dedication to the family, and his love for the family collapsed at this moment.

In the past few days, a cultist from a village found him, and after learning of his difficulties, without saying a word, he directly stuffed the old man with 3,000 yuan.

Three thousand dollars, yes, it was these three thousand dollars that cured the old man's illness, and from then on, the old man began to believe in the sect that the missionary believed.

He soon found his long-lost faith and a group of like-minded people, and at that time, he found himself feeling as if he had been given a new lease of life.

From then on, he stopped being afraid of the darkness and became more kind and confident, believing that there is a being of God in this world, and as long as he keeps walking according to God's will, God will guide him to heaven and eventually attain salvation.
