I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 51 Epic Mission: The Earthly Kingdom

The lights in the underground alley were dim and yellow.

In addition, there are the surrounding 19th-century buildings and furnishings.

All of this gives people a hazy, dreamlike feeling.

Over time, it can even create a sense of unreality and illusion.

However, the twelve homeless men present felt a kind of intoxicating happiness from this.

They took this feeling as a sacred sense that only those who follow saints possess.

Under Wayne's orders, the group immediately dug eight shallow pits in eight different locations within the underground tunnel.

Right on either side of Wayne's own residence.

Then, like planting flowers, they began to plant the eight corpses, including Big Daddy Juan, Tattooed Dick, and Bottle Joe, one by one.

Only half of the corpses, below the calves, were planted. These corpses stood like guards on both sides of the underground alley.

Seeing such crazy and bizarre behavior, Mike and David were also somewhat taken aback.

However, considering that Wayne was a voodoo medium and that voodoo cults were best at manipulating corpses, the two were relieved.

Moreover, it's winter now, and the temperature is relatively low, so there's no need to worry about the corpses smelling bad for the time being.

If my brother wants to play, let him play. Everyone needs to have some hobbies.

At worst, we can just wait until it starts to smell bad, then put it in bags and send it to St. Mary's Biotechnology Company to sell.

Although it might not be as novel and they'll lose some money, their debt to the Seta Group has been cleared, so they don't need the money as much for the time being.

Old Will and the others had no doubts about Wayne's words and obeyed him without question, their faces bearing a sense of sacred redemption.

Since it was the saint who asked them to do it, there must be a reason for it, and it must be part of a greater cause.

Everything is the best arrangement.

Wayne frowned slightly as he looked at the bodies buried underground.

According to the system panel, the so-called "foundation of evil corpses" is not something that can be achieved by simply burying these corpses underground.

Instead, they should be half-buried in the ground, kneeling on the ground, and standing against the wall in a specific posture in order to resonate with the relics of the sanctuary and thus play a role.

However, even after burying the seventh body, which was Old Joe's, there was still no reaction, which made Wayne uneasy.

Is it reliable or not?

Just then, as Old Will and White worked together to lift the eighth corpse, that is, Big Daddy Juan's body, he said to Wayne:

"Sir, I understand what you mean. Man comes from dust and returns to dust, and the fact that these sinners cannot be buried is a curse upon them. As a result, they will surely go to hell."

With that, he inserted Juan's body into the pit in the ground.

Wayne nodded slowly with a look of pity on his face. With old Will, who was so knowledgeable, he saved himself a lot of trouble.

Judging from Old Will's current behavior, he hasn't received any formal religious education. He probably just reads scriptures at home and browses the internet here and there, so his learning is rather eclectic.

When helping Wayne with his debates, this approach is less rigid and allows for more flexible explanations of many things.

The moment the eighth body was buried, everyone heard a buzzing sound in their ears, like the tolling of a bell, or a mournful lament, like an aria.

David paused, picked at his ear, and said:

"Was that any sound? Did the fucking water pipe burst?"

A series of notifications from the panel immediately appeared before Wayne's eyes:

The foundation of the evil corpse has been laid. With the Sanctuary Relics at its core and resonating with the Spirit Tongue, you have completed the foundation for building the Bronze Sanctuary.

You have become the lord of the shelter.

[Bronze Sanctuary Attributes Unlocked: Foundation of Perseverance; Roaring Tongue]

[The Foundation of Resilience: Citizens entering the shelter will have their stamina restored rapidly]

[The Lick of the Spirit Tongue: A noisy spirit tongue licks the ears of the eavesdropper. No one can hear the sounds inside the shelter unless they enter. The inhabitants of the shelter will then feel calm and at ease.]

The epic quest [Earthly Divine Kingdom] is now open!

[Earthly Divine Kingdom: Build an earthly divine kingdom in the Demon Realm dungeon with you as the shepherd. After completion, you will obtain the divine title "Son of God"]

Seeing the lines of prompts pouring down, Wayne's breathing quickened instantly.

An epic mission!

Moreover, it's not the kind of task that he needs to choose himself; it's forced to start.

Just from the description of this earthly divine kingdom, one can see just how difficult this task is.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, precisely because of the difficulty of this task. Once completed, the reward is absolutely astronomical.

The title of "Son of God" alone is enough to captivate people!

Moreover, unlike the main quest "Destroy the Demon Realm Dungeon," which is incredibly difficult, this epic quest is feasible, at least visibly so, and can be gradually accomplished.

"I don't know why, but I feel a sense of inner peace." White, whose hands had been trembling with excitement after killing Old Joe the Bottle, looked at his hands with a joyful expression and said.

"I don't seem to feel tired anymore," Old Will said, rubbing his lower back, also somewhat surprised.

"Damn, man, I think I'm really not tired anymore," David said in surprise, jumping up and down a couple of times.

He did a full day of parade work, running through more than a dozen streets, and his feet were blistered, but he doesn't feel tired at all.

Hearing their words, the others also realized that they were different.

It seems that my heart is truly filled with joy and peace, and I have become much calmer.

Moreover, all the fatigue in my body vanished.

I don't know what's going on.

Wayne tried to steady his breathing and calm his agitated emotions.

The earthly kingdoms and the Sons of Gods are a story for another time; what's truly useful right now is this bronze-level dungeon shelter.

It's only the foundation that's been laid, and it already has this effect. I wonder what it will look like when it's fully built.

If it can prevent others from entering and become a paradise-like place, then that would be truly amazing.

Oh, in the West they're called a secret realm.

For Wayne right now, security is a necessity.

Two leads on the enemy have been identified so far: Steve, the quack doctor in the open, and Jimmy, the police officer in the shadows.

Whether it's the epic quest of the divine realm on earth or the main quest of destroying the demonic dungeon, you have to survive until that day first.

After the foundation was laid, everyone was allowed to disperse and rest.

Wayne took out five shrunken heads, each the size of a walnut and with a metallic sheen. These were the sugar-coated apples that the Alejandro family had hung on the tree when he first met Big Daddy Juan.

Back then, these five frosted apples were used as the basic material for a dark artifact. After the space backpack was made, it turned into this shrunken form. Wayne has kept them all, and he might as well try to strengthen the Bronze Sanctuary.

He then placed the five heads in the hands of five of the kneeling corpses.

No response.

Wayne shrugged.

Obviously, once a person has been used, they cannot be reused and can only be used as a work of art.

Immediately afterwards, Wayne took out an old glass bottle from his spatial backpack; it was a century-old bottle of tincture of opium that he had found in the ruins of a shop in the alley.

He smashed the glass bottle on the spot and picked up the finger-sized piece of century-old opium tincture.

This thing has been aged for over a hundred years and has shrunk to look like a black dried sweet potato.

According to the label above, the opium used here is "high-quality opium" imported from the Qing Dynasty at that time.

This also involves a period of history after the Opium War. After the West forced the Qing Dynasty to trade opium, the Qing Dynasty took a series of actions and ended up producing opium of a quality far superior to that of the West, which was then directly dumped into China.

In Alexandre Dumas's famous novel "The Count of Monte Cristo," after the Count of Monte Cristo amassed a huge fortune, he owned three large emeralds. One of them was given to the Pope to adorn his crown, and another was given to the Ottoman king to purchase a slave who was originally a princess.

The last piece was hollowed out and carved into a jade box, specifically used to hold the world's finest opium pills from Guangdong. He would then use this to flaunt his wealth to several nobles.

Wayne's mind raced with thoughts, and then, following the system's instructions, he pried open Big Daddy Juan's mouth and put in a piece of century-old opium tincture from that humiliating period of history.

Wayne felt a sense of clarity wash over him, as if some of his worries had dissipated.

At the same time, a homeless woman named Finney, who was convulsing due to drug withdrawal not far away, suddenly gasped for breath and recovered from her convulsions.

She murmured:

"I think... I think I'm feeling a little better... I don't feel as bad anymore..."

Wayne felt a chill run down his spine, instantly realizing what had happened.
