The heartbeat was accelerating.
Wen Xiangge’s smile, the yearning eyes of everyone, this feeling of being the focus of countless people...
Almi instinctively wanted to nod.
But quickly, Almi realized he shouldn’t do this.
"I came here to hunt Wen Xiangge... but how can I feel... a sense of belonging?"
Almi was a bit flustered.
At this moment, Wen Xiangge was right beside him.
If Almi suddenly attacked, Wen Xiangge would undoubtedly face disaster. The chance to change history was here, the opportunity to join the elite residents of Hunter City was here.
Yet Almi dared not act, nor did he want to.
"If I kill Wen Xiangge here... will I die?"
"Will I be killed by them?"
"If Hunter City doesn’t recall me in time..."
"Moreover, he holds no malice against me..."
A person living in Hunter City isn’t too kind. Even if Wen Xiangge holds no malice towards Almi, Almi would still act when necessary.
But it must be said, what Wen Xiangge brought Almi was not just malice, but also a feeling of spring warmth, and the sense of being expected and awaited by all.
It seems, one only needs to nod to truly become part of the family with everyone in the Bunker.
In the end, out of safety consideration, Almi decided to first join Xishu Divine Teaching.
"I have seven days, during these seven days, there will surely be a moment when Wen Xiangge is alone, I just need to find that moment and kill him!"
Almi smiled:
"Thank you everyone, thank you elder, I am willing to join Xishu Divine Teaching."
Once more, Wen Xiangge gave Almi a hug:
"Child, years have honed your strong body, surely making you endure much hardship, but from today, you will no longer face life’s pain alone."
"Tell me your name."
Almi didn’t shy away from revealing his name:
"Almi."
"Brother Almi, from today, you are a member of our Xishu Divine Teaching. If you encounter any difficulties in life, or have any unpleasant thoughts in your heart, please feel free to join our fellowship’s mutual assistance meetings," Wen Xiangge said with satisfaction.
He was truly delighted to have such a promising recruit for the Xishu Divine Teaching.
Though Almi was young, one glance indicates he was a skilled tower climber.
For Wen Xiangge, recruiting a promising young talent for Master Wen is meaningful.
Even if this child may stop at some level in the future, a spark can ignite a prairie fire.
Wen Xiangge continued his preaching, recounting the greatness of Wen Xishu and the miracles brought to the Bunker.
Listening to this, even Almi found Wen Xishu quite legendary.
In half a year’s time, changing the Bunker, making its resources abundant, free from hunger and cold.
Resolving the plague among the Bunker’s lower echelons, eliminating large-scale deaths.
The status of Deceit Tower and Slaughter Tower was elevated, improving the efficiency of changing the destinies of the lower echelons.
Most critically, bringing some permanent, all-benefiting rewards to the Bunker.
In the Great Devour, he turned the tide, single-handedly eliminating numerous orange whirlpools.
It was simply exaggerated, akin to a god descending to earth.
The feats were indeed outrageous, yet in Wen Xiangge’s narration, the sanctity, irreplicability, legendary nature, and greatness of this achievement... were elevated by two or three levels.
Even if Almi believed he had some anti-brainwashing ability, he couldn’t help but marvel at such greatness.
Of course, the gratitude of the congregation towards Wen Xishu was evident in numerous details.
Almi ate the most satisfying meal of his life.
In the enormous catering facilities building, Almi couldn’t believe the Bunker’s food diversity far exceeded Hunter City’s.
While Hunter City can buy nearly everything, many things are unaffordable.
But here, those unaffordable goods, delicious, rich non-prepackaged food can be enjoyed freely.
Wen Xiangge sat right beside Almi.
Before enjoying the meal, they placed their utensils properly, then pressed their palms together, closed their eyes:
"Thank our Lord in the Three Towers for the great adventure that brings us delicious food."
"Thank our Lord for enabling everyone to have enough to eat."
Throughout the facility, everyone performed this thanksgiving ritual, Almi began to follow suit.
At this moment, he felt integrated into the collective, he seemed to see the great God exchanging rich resources through adventures.
Almi was astonished by the bounty of resources here, amazed that so many people in the Bunker were not worried about food and clothing...
More astonishing was that this many people’s food and clothing issues could be solved by one person’s power.
And this person actually distributed these resources to all ordinary people.
Knowing those facilities were deliberately avoiding the nobility, purposely stacked on the Bunker’s second floor to benefit the masses...
Almi’s inner shock escalated continuously.
Saint Wen!
The words burst from Almi’s mind.
No wonder Xishu Divine Teaching had such a large following.
"If such a person appears in the apocalyptic world, surely he can build a truly habitable shelter?"
He couldn’t help speaking out this thought.
Wen Xiangge became interested:
"Why do you say that?"
Almi suddenly realized he might have slipped up. But he was already somewhat clear about the Bunker’s operational mechanism, and said:
"I’m just thinking, if Master Wen wasn’t in the Bunker, but in the world outside the Bunker..."
"He would definitely be able to have many people join Xishu Divine Teaching."
Wen Xiangge’s eyes lit up.
