Becoming an Emperor Starting from the World of The Wandering Earth

Chapter 78 Exorcist

They have electronic devices, but most people still live in simple tin shacks.

There are cars that can run, but mules are still the main mode of transport.

This sense of disharmony is like someone forcibly piecing together fragments from several different eras, creating this monstrosity.

"Boss, the information gathering is complete."

Just then, Nancy, who was controlling the miniature drone, came over and pushed the screen in front of him.

Taking the screen and looking at the collected intelligence, Wilson's expression grew increasingly strange.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

"No problem. You know the company's miniature drones. They not only have good sound reception, but they are also small in size and can slip into many crevices."

"I just used the drone to survey the entire town, and the information from it is absolutely correct."

Despite Nancy's explanation, Wilson still felt a bit confused.

The information Nancy gathered was truly astonishing.

The most powerful priest, Paul, has betrayed the Vatican, and his brother's family has been attacked by vampires. The Vatican has dispatched a team to hunt them down.

What is all this about?

Just then, Kirk came over, glanced at the information on the screen, and suddenly looked puzzled.

"Boss, this looks a lot like a movie I've seen before."

"What? You knew?"

Kirk nodded. "That's right, this information is exactly the plot of a movie I've seen."

As Kirk narrated, Wilson's expression gradually became more complex.

He originally thought that the time portal opened by his superior would lead to another world, but he never expected it to be a movie.

According to Kirk, the movie is called "The Exorcist".

The story is set in a parallel world with two races: humans and the vampires they previously encountered.

Since vampires crave human blood, the two are fundamentally incompatible.

Wars have been fought for thousands of years, evolving from cold weapons to firearms.

During this long process, the world's environment was also completely destroyed.

This is why radiation levels in the world are so high.

The story begins with Paul, mentioned in the intelligence Nancy just gathered.

To combat vampires, the world's most powerful force, the Holy See, assembled a highly specialized team of exorcists. Their combat prowess was extraordinary, their agility unmatched, and they were even more terrifying than vampires.

Under the guidance of these exorcist priests, humanity gradually defeated the vampires through continuous decapitation strikes.

However, in the final battle to siege the vampire stronghold of Sun City, Paul's squad was ambushed.

The members suffered heavy losses, and even Paul's best friend Carl was captured by the vampires and transformed by the vampire queen who was hiding in the lair at the time into the first human vampire who was not afraid of sunlight.

Led by Carl, the vampire army raided Paul's brother's house, kidnapping his children, but their real target was Paul's daughter, Lily.

After learning of the situation from Lily's boyfriend, Sheriff Hicks, Paul immediately decided to go out and rescue his daughter.

However, the Vatican blocked his way, and even labeled Paul a traitor for forcibly leaving, sending four equally skilled exorcists to capture him.

The rest of the plot is simple: through various clues, Paul successfully stops Karl, who is trying to lead a large number of vampires to the Holy City via the railroad, and successfully kills him with explosives, while rescuing his daughter Lily.

After listening to Kirk's explanation, Wilson stroked his chin, and then everything made sense.

The reason why radiation levels in this world are so high is because the entire environment has been destroyed over a long period of time.

To avoid death from radiation, humans had no choice but to hide in the holy city, where industrial pollution was so severe that even the sky was blackened.

Moreover, due to the continuous wars, technological development has been extremely distorted and often interrupted.

The Vatican's obstruction, in order to maintain its own faith, has led to this distorted and bizarre world.

"Nancy, when you were collecting data with the drone, did you find out the exact location of the Sun Wall?"

Upon hearing this, Nancy immediately nodded, swiped the screen, and then a very clear map photo appeared.

"No problem, boss. I just walked around every room, and I can roughly pinpoint the location. The Sun Wall should be about 650 kilometers to our northwest."

Wilson nodded, then estimated the supplies the team was carrying and the energy of the exoskeleton armor, his expression turning somewhat grim.

Because the opening time was too short, they didn't carry many supplies; even the most abundant exoskeleton batteries, each person only had ten.

If all the time is spent traveling, it will be difficult to handle unexpected situations. Therefore—

Wilson's face immediately broke into a sinister smile.

With insufficient energy and no vehicles to travel, isn't that small town ahead the best supply point?

"Listen up, everyone."

Wilson's gaze swept over the nine team members who had gathered around him. "Our supplies are running low. The nearest shop is in that town ahead. But this isn't a shopping mall in the civilized world, and the shop assistants there aren't exactly law-abiding citizens."

Kirk didn't try to hide anything when he spoke, and Nancy shared all the information she had gathered with her teammates.

Everyone knows that Wilson's so-called "good citizen" was just a euphemism.

According to what Kirk just said, these guys who make deals with vampires and sell their blood should be called Fallen Ones.

Guys like that should all die.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they are law-abiding citizens, since Murphy's previous task was to gather all the intelligence, and they are willing to do anything to achieve their goal.

"Commander Murphy's orders are to conduct reconnaissance, gather information, and assess the threat. The threat is now imminent, and we need their supplies to continue the mission."

"So, our next step is to eliminate these threats, acquire enough supplies, and complete the mission, understand?"

"Understood, boss!" came several firm responses from the channel.

"Alright, now let's assign tasks."

Wilson crouched down and quickly drew a simple layout of the town on the sand with his hand.

"Nancy, you're in charge of monitoring the entire operation, paying particular attention to that large chimney and the concrete building that might be heavily fortified. Once the battle begins, prioritize using drones to destroy anything that looks like a gathering point or command post."

"Cheng Hongtu, you take two men and cut in from the west. Your targets are those pickup trucks and the repair shop. Make sure the vehicles are usable and hold that area as our retreat point and supply depot."

"The rest of the people followed me and pressed in from the front of the main road on the east side."

"Yes, sir!"

"Check equipment and calibrate weapons. Operation begins in one minute."
