An Ning's sudden outburst woke up many people in Bingcheng.
The Chinese people were well aware of the perfunctory attitudes of the other countries. At that time, there were people who blamed Lin Zhen for offending the Divine Sect, causing many of the higher-ups of the other countries to stand by and watch China's predicament. But now, it seemed that Lin Zhen was right to offend them. These bastards were really not human.
An Ning was right. Who did Bingcheng rely on to survive until now?
The country said that Lin Zhen could make any request, but Lin Zhen chose to build Bingcheng's city wall with 600 billion yuan of his own money. Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also suffered a great loss.
Now, tens of millions of people in Bingcheng were surviving because of Lin Zhen's selfless action. Otherwise, Bingcheng would have fallen because of that wave of water monsters.
Looking at Lin Zhen's selflessness and the Church's performance in this monster attack, was Lin Zhen right, or was the Church right?
Some people who believed in the Church began to waver.
On the front line of fighting against the mutant beasts, the crowd was silent.
A slightly hoarse girl's voice was heard. "An Ning, I support you. Brother Lin has done too much for the people of his hometown. The Church's actions are bitterly disappointing. I have long disliked them. From now on, I will no longer believe in that son of a b * tch Starry Sky True God!"
People looked over and saw a beautiful girl standing in the crowd. She tore the Starry Sky True God's symbol off his clothes and stepped on it.
An Ning glanced at the girl and smiled. "I know you. You're Zhao Xiaoman, right?"
"Yes, An Ning, you know me. I'm so happy."
Zhao Xiaoman ran to An Ning's side happily and held An Ning's arm as if they were close friends. Then she stretched out a slender finger and pointed at the people around them. "What's wrong with you people? At this time, you still want to defend that bullsh * t Church? Are you all out of your mind? For that illusory thing, you don't even know who saved your lives, right? If you think that the God Sect is more important than your life, then hurry up and be buried with your God Sect. Don't shamelessly stay in the city walls built by Brother Lin and scold him. Even I feel ashamed for you! Bah! "
Some of the followers' faces turned red. Mengdong from the Zephyr Martial Arts School was the first to pull on his shoulder. He didn't even see what was on his shoulder. Then, he imitated Zhao Xiaoman's action and twisted his leg. "F * ck the God's Sect! I'm not serving you anymore!"
Zhao Xiaoman and Mengdong's actions resonated with many people, and it set off a frenzy on the battlefield.
Feng Ni looked back at the Northwest Army: "Who else is a believer in the Star Sky Sect? Hurry up and tear that thing off for me! We, the people of the Northwest, have always relied on our own strength to fight. Can faith replace the weapons in your hands? "
Many Northwest people simply tore off the symbol of the God's Sect and stomped it into the ground.
Tang Wenbo also looked back at the martial artists of Shanghai. "Shanghai is close to the sea. We may even face sea monsters when we fight. Whoever still believes in that bullsh * t God's Sect will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks next time!"
The martial artists of Shanghai were also very decisive. The sound of tearing was heard everywhere.
Then, Zhao Liang, Shi Lei, and the others from Bingcheng followed suit. Yang Jianying from Azure Sky Martial Arts School laughed and said, "Our Azure Sky Martial Arts School has already thrown the Star Sky Sect's symbol into the trash. We don't need it anymore."
In the end, even Ma Yao, Wei Li, and the other martial artists of the Zephyr Martial Arts School who were not on good terms with Lin Zhen did the same.
When things reached a peak, the mayor of Bingcheng Base City, Lu Ming, gave a speech on TV.
"People of Bingcheng, my compatriots from all over the country, Bingcheng has gone through a few days of suffering. Faced with an unprecedented scale of mutant beasts, we are united, fighting bravely, and defending our city and our home with our blood and lives."
"But in this battle, we can't forget Lin Zhen's contribution to Bingcheng. Without his preventive measures, Bingcheng would have been gone. To be honest, as the mayor, I'm ashamed that I didn't pay attention to Lin Zhen's proposal. I've also thought of building a city wall along the river, but the cost is too high. I haven't made up my mind yet."
"But why did Lin Zhen do that? He even gave up any request he could make to the country. Instead, he took out 600 billion from his own pocket to build a waterway along the river and help us resist this wave of mutant beasts. "
Speaking of this, Lu Ming was a little angry. "Look at the God's Sect that we have believed in for thousands of years. What did they do for us? Not only did they refuse to send reinforcements, they even used their power to encourage the Gods of War from other countries not to send reinforcements. They almost destroyed Bingcheng! "
"Why did they believe in such a sect? Why did they protect him? "
"As the mayor of Bingcheng, I suggest that you remove the God's Sect symbol from your body, take out the God's Sect scriptures in your house, and throw these things into the trash. Our fate depends on us, not some God!"
Lu Ming's order was not only seen by the people of Bingcheng. Everyone in the country and even the whole world could see it.
These words caused a huge uproar in Bingcheng. People walked on the streets, demolished churches, and burned everything related to the God's Sect. Occasionally, a few stubborn believers were even beaten to death by the angry crowd.
Subsequently, the Northwest Base City, the Capital Base City, and the Magic City Base City were the first to respond to Bingcheng's call and started a vigorous campaign to withdraw from the God's Sect.
After that, the South Base City and the Tianfu Base City also started a large-scale anti-God protest. After all, Huaxia was a whole country. If the God's Sect could do this to Bingcheng, they could do the same to other cities in the future.
The people were not fools. Just like the saying in the Christian era, the people's eyes were sharp. Believing in the God's Sect was a form of spiritual sustenance in this post-apocalyptic world. Now, this spiritual sustenance was about to collapse.
People believed in strength more. This was the era when everyone practiced martial arts. People were becoming more and more clear-headed.
The people of Huaxia were simple and kind, but they were also wise. They could be as docile as sheep, but they could also roar like a lion.
In the past, Huaxia was the country with the most believers in the world. Out of the one billion believers in the world, Huaxia accounted for 350 million.
After Lin Zhen and the God's Sect went against each other, the number of believers kept declining. Before the incident in Bingcheng, the number of believers in Huaxia had decreased by 100 million!
After the incident in Bingcheng, it caused a nationwide withdrawal from the God's Sect. Churches were destroyed, and the number of believers kept decreasing. In just two days, the number of believers in Huaxia had decreased to 80 million!
And this number was still decreasing. As for the Bingcheng area, it was basically impossible to find any true believers in the God's Sect.
The sea of mutated beasts outside gave the people too much pressure to survive. Lin Zhen's incident was the fuse. The main reason was that the God's Sect did not do anything, and even hindered them. This led to the unprecedented unity of the people of Huaxia.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire."
An Ning stood on top of the city wall and said softly.
At this time, she missed Lin Zhen dearly. She did not know how Lin Zhen was doing.
"My love, our home is still here. You must come back safely."
*****
The incident in Huaxia caught the Vatican off guard.
"Kacha!"
The white jade wine cup was smashed into pieces by Yan Huang on the marble floor.
"Damn Lin Zhen. He is already at the end of his rope in the City of Ancient Gods, and he still dares to do this to me. He is really haunting me!"
Yan Huang was furious. It was true that he had captured Lin Zhen's parents, but the Huaxia government had strongly protested against this and demanded that the Vatican guarantee the safety of Lin Zhen's parents. They also requested that the situation of Lin Zhen's parents be broadcasted live.
If this request was not met, the Vatican would be an enemy of Huaxia.
Moreover, the Martial Artist Union also requested that the Vatican guarantee the safety of Lin Zhen's parents. They also claimed that the Vatican's actions had broken the rules. They could not guarantee that things would not develop in a direction that was disadvantageous to the Vatican in the future.
Faced with the pressure from Huaxia and the Martial Artist Union, although Yan Huang had captured Lin Zhen's parents, he did not dare to do anything to them. He had to take good care of them. After all, they were in the wrong.
Therefore, Yan Huang had to release a video of Lin Zhen's parents every day to appease the public's anger.
However, he did not expect the tide of people quitting the Vatican this time.
Originally, the matter of Lin Zhen's parents had gradually calmed down under his mediation. As long as he captured Lin Zhen, everything would be fine. However, he did not expect that there would be a mutant beast attack in Bingcheng.
Moreover, the two city walls that Lin Zhen had spent a lot of money to build were very useful. They saved Bingcheng from the fall of the mutant beasts and made Lin Zhen's popularity in Huaxia unprecedentedly high.
Now, the public's opinion in Huaxia was biased towards Lin Zhen. This guy had become a national hero again. His influence was almost comparable to Yan Qiye's in Huaxia a few hundred years ago.
Some stupid leaders of various countries had made a decision that made Yan Huang's blood vessels explode. They had actually tampered with the issue of assisting Huaxia. How could such a thing be tampered with?
It was fine if they did it, but they had to do it cleanly. If they did not do it well, the God Sect would be the scapegoat.
However, Yan Huang had no way back. No matter what, he had to stick to this matter to the end. He firmly believed that as long as he killed Lin Zhen, there would still be room for negotiation. Slowly, the reputation of the God Sect would gradually recover.
"How's the progress in the City of Ancient Gods? It's been almost two months! Is there still no news of Lin Zhen? In less than a month, I will announce the day of my wedding. In the end, before anything was set in stone, the planned bride has already betrayed the God Sect. When the time comes, do you want me to get married to thin air?! "Yan Huang roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, there's news. Adams' team has sent back a message saying that they have found Lin Zhen's location and are approaching."
"Tell them to move faster. Otherwise, the followers of my God Sect will run away!"
