I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 89 The Bird of Fright
In the afternoon, on the west side of the town, Lin Zhong and Fran were walking side by side on the deserted streets wearing brown monastic robes from the Enji Relief Church.

Unlike the east side of the town, which is maintained by the Enji Society and inhabited by Wilderness residents, this place is completely deserted.

The road that has been lacking maintenance for more than [-] years is cracked everywhere, weeds have occupied almost every crack, vines are growing freely on the walls, and there are many dismantled car parts and tires piled up on the roadside. This deserted city Residents live on the east side, while the west side has basically been plundered by scavengers. All kinds of usable objects and recyclable materials have been taken away, and the remaining debris has been randomly thrown around. Lin Zhi even picked up the scattered garbage. I saw a lot of bones left behind in the early stages of the disaster.

Compared with the temporarily inhabited neighborhoods around the church, normal people would never choose to live in this area when they came to this deserted city.

Of course, since the captain of the police force only saw the target coming to the church twice to receive relief and then walking toward the west along the town avenue, he could not confirm that the target lived in this town.

But further west from the town, there is a mountainous area with inconvenient transportation.

The only reliable water source nearby is a river. Taking into account water intake and shelter from the wind and rain, the probability of the target settling within the town block is the highest.

They patrolled along the avenues and rivers. Fran secretly hid the tentacles with detection function in the sleeves of her wide robe, and checked everywhere, and soon found something.

She noticed the smell left by human activities near a step by the river where water can be taken, and then followed the smell to find a single-family bungalow in a village in the city.

"The trace of the smell is heading that way." They hid at the entrance of a nearby alley, and Fran raised her hand and pointed to the house.

Lin Zhi observed carefully and found that there were obvious traces of trampling on the weeds growing under the steps at the door of the bungalow. The windows were all closed with curtains, so nothing could be seen.

However, there seemed to be a still damp coat hanging to dry on the windowsill on the third floor of the bungalow.

There was no doubt that Fran was in the right place.

Much more reliable than police dogs, Lin Zhong thought to himself.

This target lives far away from the urban crowd, and seems to have a certain degree of wariness towards others, but judging from the traces at the door and the clothes hanging out, this kind of wariness to the outside world is obviously not very professional.

It's unclear whether the researcher holds any troublesome weapons, so it's obviously a bad idea to just break in like this.

Although Lin finally has the ability to predict, it is passively activated after all, and the range of prediction is extremely limited.If the future result is that the target dies or escapes, he is not sure whether Prediction will be activated.

So to be on the safe side, Lin Zhong disguised himself as someone from Enji Church to contact the other party.

The target would come directly to the relief church to receive supplies, which meant that he was not aware of the existence of the armed forces and intelligence network of the Enji Society. He only thought that the Enji Society was an ordinary charitable religious organization and had no obvious wariness of the Enji Society.

"Listen, let's go there together. You just stand behind me, don't say or do anything, and keep your disguise, unless I have new instructions or some dangerous situation arises, do you understand? " Lin Zhong warned seriously.

Fran's acting skills are devastating. Rather than harping on all kinds of details that are difficult to remember, it would be better to just let her quietly serve as a backdrop.

"I know." Fran nodded.

"Very good, let's check if the servant is there first." Lin finally tidied up his monk's clothes and walked towards the bungalow.

Inside the bungalow.

The young man put away the pots and tableware that he had washed by the river, turned his head and glanced at the girl who had fallen asleep on the old sofa after eating, and sighed deeply.

It's a shame that she can still sleep so peacefully every day. People who are heartless at this time can have an easy time.

But it’s no wonder that although her actual age is 16 years old, because of being imprisoned in the laboratory for many years and her mental state has been unstable, the girl’s mind has not grown much compared to when she encountered the accident five years ago .

This kid doesn't understand anything, he is the only one worrying about the future.

After escaping, they snatched a car from the pursuers, but the fuel ran out long ago, and they abandoned the car near a distant village.

They wandered on foot for half a month, and finally came to this deserted city with the Enzian church.

The charity church has the ability to exchange supplies with churches in other areas. People living in this area can not only receive low amounts of relief food from the church on a regular basis, but can also exchange some valuable items for additional supplies.

For now, they can only stay here.

However, the shadow of being secretly pursued by the coalition government military always hung over his mind. The church required that the recipients of the relief must show their faces to avoid repeated recipients. He was frightened every time he went to receive relief in person, but when the child was allowed to go to a crowded place, he On the contrary, I am even more afraid. If I lose control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The young man couldn't help but feel a strong sense of despair when he thought that days like this would continue, and he didn't know when they would end.

Why do I have to suffer this?

Just because I was mentored by this child’s mother when I was a student?Just because of a momentary outbreak of conscience?

At this time, he remembered a sentence from the seniors of the past research institute: "You can't do the work here if you keep your conscience."

He sighed, unable to tell whether his current mood was regret or simple irritation.

But no matter what, there was no turning back for him now.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and he trembled like a frightened bird, turning his head sharply to stare at the door.

In his imagination, heavily armed coalition government soldiers had already surrounded the house outside the door.

"Hello, we are from the Enzi Church. Is there anyone living here?" A kind man's voice came through the door.

Grace?The young man froze suddenly.

He calmed down a little, glanced at the sleeping girl, tightened the pistol in his arms, and tiptoed to the door, looking out through the cat's eyes.

Two figures in monastic uniforms came into view.

Really someone from the church?Strange, how do they know someone lives here?

"Hello, I saw there seemed to be clothes hanging to dry upstairs. Is anyone there?" The man knocked on the door again.

The young man let out an "ah" in his heart, and began to reflect on his omissions.

Why do people from the church come here?Is it better to pretend not to be there?

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, the other party may come again. If it is really someone from the church who comes here for something, they may still run into him sooner or later.

From now on, they will continue to live here and continue to go to the church to receive and exchange supplies, so as not to act too suspicious to the people in the church.

He thought for a while, walked towards the sofa softly, raised his hand and shook the girl's shoulder, and called softly: "Xiao Jin, wake up!!"
