I'm a cook in the wasteland

Chapter 169 The Power of Faith
"I've heard them tell many stories about you, Miss Su."

"Actually, I envy you."

Bai Luo didn't answer Su Mo's question directly, but said so.

"I have always wanted the same power as you, so that I can protect myself and the people around me."

"But I can't."

"My power cannot be used to kill."

"So, what I can do is to use this power to make other people stronger."

"In this way, it seems that I am not such a waste."

A bitter smile bloomed.

Bai Luo's sad appearance really made people feel distressed.

There is sorrow on the pure face.

Eyelids drooped, eyelashes fluttered.

It is a face that men like.

Su Mo thought, his eyes were calm and unwavering.

"I don't know if Teacher Bai can talk about how your power is used."

She asked, turning the hand holding the teacup.

A cup of hot tea, which would have been just lukewarm.

As time goes by, it gradually cools down.

Drinking it in the mouth is even more bitter.

Most of the tea leaves in the wasteland are of poor quality.

So she used to like to use peppermint tea instead.

When she was in the camp before, she always used mint tea in her room.

And there are still a lot of dry tea made in the warehouse.

But this time, the tea in the pot was ordinary tea.

Su Mo didn't like this taste.

Just put it down.

But Bai Luo hesitated for a while before speaking.

"It's actually very simple, it's faith."

"As long as you have enough faith, you can use this power. I call it the power of faith."

"For example... I firmly believe that Grandma Mu will be safe."

"As long as this belief is strong enough, it will definitely come true."

"And that's what I teach them."

"Believe in yourself, believe in everything, as long as you are devout enough, you will be rewarded."

"It's a gift from God to us."

Bai Luo, who said this, had sparkling eyes, an emotion called fanaticism.

"God?"

Su Mo picked out these two words.

"what……"

However, Bai Luo exclaimed in surprise, and then smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I just came back after forgetting you."

"Actually, I told the people in the camp the story of my power awakening."

"About half a year ago, our family of four survived in a camp."

"Most of the people in that camp were old, weak, sick and disabled, so I couldn't find any good places to camp. The place to camp was a bit remote."

"Many times, materials cannot be exchanged from the base because there are not enough silver coins."

"And we are often attacked by some ferocious beasts. Even the rest of the camp thinks that we are easy to bully and will always squeeze us."

"All of us live... very hard."

When mentioning the past, Bai Luo's tone was a little choked up.

"Just half a year ago, in a camp, they provoked a terrifying beast."

"I couldn't beat it myself, but I even lured those beasts to our camp and let us be scapegoats."

"I watched so many people die in front of my eyes."

"I can't do anything."

"Fear, pain, even hatred. At that moment, I wished that I could have the power to destroy those beasts."

"So at that moment, I heard a voice."

"It is the voice of God."

"He told me that as long as I pray sincerely, everything in the world will respond to me."

"So I knelt on the ground and kept praying."

"Later, a team from a base happened to pass by nearby, heard the movement, and dealt with those beasts."

"So our family survived."

"It's just that the camp is gone, and we started wandering again."

"After a rough six months, I finally came here."

"Even when I was in distress in the basin that day, I was saved only through prayer, and the people from the camp showed up."

"For me, all the strength I have today is from God."

"This is a gift."

"This is a gift that cannot be squandered at will, nor can it be obtained easily."

"You need to practice day after day, be devout enough, and never run out of faith. One day, God will come again."

At this moment, Bai Luo had a slight smile on his face.

Those gentle eyebrows and eyes carried an excessive sense of piety.

And Su Mo felt that he had seen this face.

The world she existed in also had some fanatical religious believers.

god, satan...

There are many beliefs, but at that time, it was more said that there is a belief, and there is no belief.

Of course...

The wasteland is different.

The ability that exists here is enough to subvert her cognition of that world.

Like the future in a sci-fi world.

So in this world, there may really be so-called God-like figures.

Then, is the practice that Bai Luo said is advisable?

"Boom boom boom!"

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Su Mo yelled, but it was Zhang Tiewei who walked in.

When seeing Su Mo, Zhang Tiewei frowned slightly, just because he saw Bai Luo's red eyes.

"Teacher Bai, what happened?"

Dangling fingers clenched into a fist.

Su Mo glanced down, looking at the opponent's fist, a little coldness appeared in his eyes.

Do not!
Su Mo categorically denied what he had just thought.

There is no practice for people to abandon their past self.

The so-called finding a new life is hard to achieve because Bai Luo is the center of everything.

"I'm fine, I'm just talking about some past events and some emotions."

"Is there something you want from me?"

Bai Luo shook his head and asked.

The weak expression made Zhang Tiewei still seem a little worried.

"That's good."

He responded, shaking his head again, I just came to see.

Just to see, I still feel that I will be disadvantageous to Bai Luo.

Su Mo understood the meaning.

"I don't know what Mr. Bai wants from me?"

Su Mo changed the subject and withdrew his eyes on Zhang Tiewei.

A long time ago, Zhou Wu's death had a great impact on Zhang Tiewei.

That's his brother.

Since then, Zhang Tiewei has been silent a lot, and his whole person has become gloomy.

But Wang Qing said that since Bai Luo came, Zhang Tiewei seemed to have found a new goal and became full of vitality.

It's just... I don't like to associate with old people like them.

"Oh, yes, I mean, shall we have a party?"

As if just remembering it, Bai Luo became happy all of a sudden.

The frozen atmosphere gradually flows.

Zhang Tiewei consciously left the room, but the door was not closed.

"banquet?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, I discussed it with them."

"Su Mo, your return is a happy event. We should hold a banquet to celebrate."

"Just to celebrate our harvest this fall."

"And I heard from them that the big guy's place hasn't been lively for a long time, and it's really relaxing."

"what do you think?"
