Chapter 359 Core
Zhang Hao promised Ruth that she would stay and work for the Church of Light, so he left with Johnny and continued to work.
There was nothing special happening in the next few days.
Apart from helping Johnny distribute holy water every day, Zhang Hao has nothing else to do.
On this day, believers still came to the church for gathering.
After Zhang Hao and Johnny distributed the holy water, Ruth came out from the back of the church.
"I have good news for you all! We will have the opportunity for the second batch of people to go to the moon to study!" Ruth announced excitedly.
Ruth then handed Johnny a USB drive and asked him to play it on the big screen.
The believers finally saw the scenes of the first group of believers living and working on the moon.
In the video, the first group of believers gathered outside the AI star mothership. The strange thing was that no one was wearing a space suit.
The moon is a vacuum environment, and it is impossible to breathe normally without a space suit, which surprised everyone present.
The mothership was emitting light, and a large group of people were singing and dancing, as if they were celebrating.
An alien fighter jet flew low over the sky at an extremely fast speed, and the people in the video were waving their hands.
Ruth smiled and said, "Everyone must be curious about how they can survive in the vacuum of the moon without any life support equipment."
Everyone is looking forward to it and wants to know why.
Ruth explained calmly: "Holy water can only cure diseases and strengthen our bodies, but it cannot change our genes. After arriving on the moon, that group of people underwent genetic modification by the AI God. Now, the physical conditions of this group of people have completely surpassed the limits of human beings."
Ruth continued: "After receiving genetic modification, they have adapted to the lunar environment and can hold their breath for an hour at a time."
"Oh my God! This is too perverted!" Everyone found it unbelievable.
Ruth continued, "At the same time, because of the optimization of the gene sequence, the life span of this group of people will also be extended. Conservative estimates show that each of them can live to over 150 years old!"
This news was like a depth bomb, shocking everyone present.
On Earth, no matter how advanced the medical technology is, the average human lifespan is unlikely to exceed 100 years. Yet, this group of people can actually live to over 150 years old!
The temptation was too great! Everyone was excited! It was hard to suppress their excitement, so many people wanted to get the chance to be the second batch to go to the moon.
Benefiting mankind and leaving your name in history are not as real as living to be 150 years old!
Ruth was very satisfied with their reaction.
The more satisfied, excited and eager these people are, the less they will question the authenticity of the video.
Everyone believes that the first people to go to the moon have gained great benefits.
Zhang Hao knew that this was Ruth's lie and the video was 100% fake.
The truth is extremely cruel. The first group of people who went to the moon had already become "silkworm pupae"! They became the nutrients of the AI star battleship.
But he still cooperated and praised the greatness of the AI God.
Seeing that the atmosphere was set, Ruth then got down to business and tricked the second group of people into going to the moon.
The testing equipment was brought out again, and most people were eager to try it out.
Only a very small number of people restrained their desires. In the eyes of these people, it was already good enough that the holy water could cure their diseases.
Leaving the Earth and their families to go to the moon to worship the AI god and learn technology is not something they consider.
But, more people do have a desire for it, especially a lifespan of 150 years, which is hard to refuse.
The test went on quickly, and among them were many believers who had not been selected last time.
Compared with those who came later, this group of believers took the holy water for a longer time, so there were many people who met the requirements this time, as many as fifty.
Finally, Ruth announced that the fifty believers who met the requirements would go to the moon in three days.
Just like last time, most of the chosen people chose to hand over their bodies to the Church of Light for safekeeping without any doubt.
Naturally, Ruth agreed readily.
No one among the believers has suggested that they want to see where the bodies of the last group of people sent to the moon are preserved.
After confirming the number of people for the second trip to the moon and that there was still time, the believers quickly dispersed.
Those who wanted to preserve their bodies for the Church of Light said that they would come back after they went home to pack up.
After everyone left, Ruth called Johnny and Zhang Hao to the back of the church.
Johnny and Zhang Hao stood in front of Ruth properly.
Ruth looked at the two of them and thought for a moment.
Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and asked tentatively, "Johnny, the second group of people going to the moon want their bodies to be taken care of by our Church of Light. What do you think?"
Johnny didn't care at all and quickly asked, "Is it because a large number of them can't find family or friends to take care of them? After entering the virtual world, if no one takes care of their physical bodies, they will soon starve to death!"
Finally, he seemed to have thought of something and asked casually, "By the way, President, the bodies of the first group of people are not in the church. Do we have other branches in the church?"
However, Ruth did not give a direct answer and changed the subject.
"Johnny, you have been in the Church of Light for a while now. Your illness has almost healed under the treatment of holy water! By the way, I am grateful for your and Jack's help during this period!"
She said nonchalantly, "Because of the power of the AI God, many of our church's activities are carried out in the virtual world, so there are not many staff members in real life. So, it has always been you two who are in charge here!"
Zhang Hao and Johnny smiled at Ruth and didn't say much.
Ruth then said, "And you never mentioned any compensation. I reported these things to the AI God, and he was very satisfied with your performance!"
Johnny smiled awkwardly. In fact, he made a lot of money by reselling holy water with Zhang Hao.
Ruth asked at this time: "So the AI God decided to give you two a chance to live up to 200 years!"
When Johnny heard this, he couldn't suppress his excitement and his hands began to tremble slightly.
200 years old! That’s more than the benefits gained by those who went to the moon!
Zhang Hao showed the same excitement as Johnny.
Johnny quickly said, "Does AI God have any other instructions? We will definitely do our best!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Hao, who nodded frantically.
Only then did Ruth reveal his ultimate goal.
"Well, now there are two groups of people going to the moon. That means the number of bodies that we are taking care of alone is almost one hundred, which is already a considerable number."
"You just asked where the bodies of the first group of people are. They are indeed no longer in the church because there is no good life support equipment here. I have already moved these bodies."
When Ruth said this, Zhang Hao concentrated. Is he finally getting to the core issue?
