Chapter 99: Shangmin District, Meeting with the Bishop
The interior of the Oasis battleship reminded Lin Feng of the underground shelter of that year.

There are pipes of different sizes and complex wiring, most of which are already rusted; the corridors are narrow and low, and if there are no signs, it is impossible to tell the direction.

Like the interior of an old, decommissioned warship.

There was also a dull, musty smell, like an old room that hadn't been ventilated for a long time.

Lin Feng held his breath and followed Father Su An, walking around in circles, wandering in the narrow corridor for five or six minutes, and after walking about a hundred meters, he finally arrived at the upper deck of the battleship.

Opening a white-painted door, the real upper-class residential area in the oasis appeared before Lin Feng's eyes.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

The breath of civilization is blowing in your face.

The top is a dome made of hexagonal translucent glass, which can reflect most of the light and heat, making the temperature in the residential area extremely comfortable.

Combined with the cool air released by the air conditioner, the temperature in the Oasis Shangmin District is only 24 or 25 degrees Celsius, which is extremely cool.

Lin Feng's gaze shifted from the huge dome above to the quiet and pleasant residence in front of him.

Looking around, you can see three-story Western-style buildings of the same shape on both sides of a straight main road, most of which are decorated in a modern and simple style.

The large glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows reflects the sunlight.

The living environment of the upper people is just as relaxed and pleasant as it was in the 21st century during the old Earth period.

Lin Feng saw children playing football, and young men and women drinking coffee and chatting on the roadside.

They were well-dressed and had smiles on their faces.

It's like a modern person from the old Earth era.

At the end of the four-meter-wide street, at the bow of the battleship, stands a ten-meter-high cathedral.

On top of the church tower stands a golden manhole cover.

The church emblem sparkled in the sun, reminding Lin Feng of the top of the church in Shengquan Village. The silver church emblem was obviously not as high-end and noble as the one in front of him.

The church in the oasis is larger and more magnificent than the village church carried by heavy trucks. Its glass is even coated with a layer of gold paint.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the stern of the ship. On the high-rise building, there was a garden platform full of flowers, plants and trees, and a giant lens placed at an angle.

From beginning to end, the entire upper world of the oasis is shrouded in a glass dome that refracts sunlight, like an isolated paradise.

The upper class people living there and the barbarians who are still struggling to survive in the wasteland under the oasis, although both are human beings, have evolved into two different species in the world.

These more than 2,000 upper-class people constantly draw nourishment from the lower-class people of Oasis Town, who number nearly 20,000 permanent residents.

Among them, there are 8,000 servants in the oasis and more than 10,000 permanent residents under the warships, all of whom are supporting and serving the people.

Provide them with such a comfortable living environment and endless food and drink.

If the living standards of the two were averaged, Lin Feng estimated that Oasis Town could support at least twice as many survivors.

From more than 20,000 people now, it will increase to 50,000 people.

And it’s at a level where you’re full and satisfied.

Unfortunately, this is almost impossible.

Even if all the senior executives disappear and resources are evenly divided, a new Shangmin Group will gradually form in the future and continue to maintain the current centralized support model.

At this moment, Lin Feng followed the priest and walked on the small path on the right side of the Shangmin District.

Although they avoided the main road where the crowds gathered, there were still many eyes staring curiously at the strange man behind the priest.

On the one hand, there are very few dirty barbarians who can directly enter the upper civilian area after climbing onto the oasis. On the other hand, they all look like men and are quite handsome.

Although the people in the oasis live in a pampered environment and have fair skin without any flaws, Lin Feng's foundation is much better than theirs.

Coupled with the golden wheat skin color, it has a unique exotic and rough beauty.

At first, it was just children chasing and watching, but gradually even adults, especially women, came over to look at the movement.

"Don't mind their looks; they're just curious because they haven't seen the world before."

Father Suan spoke lightly, quickening his pace.

Lin Feng lowered his head and followed closely behind.

Soon the two of them walked down a path about a hundred meters long and entered the church area below the church.

Su An took Lin Feng into a bathhouse inside and asked the gray-robed monk to hand Lin Feng a set of white clothes. "Wash yourself clean. You won't be smelling of meat when you meet the bishop later."

Lin Feng chuckled, nodded and went into the bathhouse.

The small bathhouse is arranged in the same way as before, with separate compartments equipped with benches, shower heads, and toiletries.

After randomly selecting one, Lin Feng turned on the faucet and let the 30-degree room temperature water rush in.

It's free water anyway, so why not use it?

Feeling emotional about the extravagant life of the upper class in the oasis, Lin Feng began to use shampoo to clean his dusty scalp. After washing, he used a bath puff with soap and foam to scrub away the several layers of dead skin accumulated on his body surface.

It took about twenty minutes for Lin Feng to wash clean, put on a white robe, and walked out of the bathroom looking refreshed.

At this moment, Father Su An had already left in advance, leaving behind a gray-robed monk to take Lin Feng:

"Just give me your old clothes. Please follow me, Mr. Lin. The priest and the bishop have been waiting in the church for a long time."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Let's leave as soon as possible."

The two walked one in front and one behind, moving through the church area and soon entered the cathedral from the side.

Although the exterior of the church is magnificent and solemn, the interior decoration remains simple, with the walls only painted with white putty. However, wherever Lin Feng goes, it is extremely clean and spotless.

This is the most sacred place in the church.

Soon, Lin Feng followed the gray-robed monk into a secret room at the back of the church.

Unlike the church audience that Lin Feng had imagined, his first meeting with the most powerful person in Oasis Town was in a secret room with no windows on all sides.

After the gray-robed monk knocked on the door for Lin Feng, he left in a hurry.

After a few seconds, the door slowly opened.

Father Suan nodded behind the door.
"Come in, the bishop has something to ask you."

Lin Feng swallowed, suppressed the nervousness and excitement in his heart, and walked in.

In the airtight little room, there is a three-meter-wide wooden table and densely packed books stacked on three sides of the bookshelf.

At this moment, an old man who Lin Feng felt vaguely familiar with was sitting at a wooden table, wearing glasses and flipping through an ancient book.

Seeing Lin Feng, the latter smiled:
"I've heard Su An's introduction."

"He's a bright and promising young man. What do you think of Nongzhuang Village and the Li family?"

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He obviously didn't expect that his first audience would have such an opening remark.

The bishop's question was obviously also a test of Lin Feng's character.

Fortunately, before coming here, I had already conducted a preliminary analysis of the situation, so I was not caught off guard.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng expressed his inner thoughts:

"The Li family controls Oasis Town's food supply and is one of its lifeblood. Enhanced meat and evolved meat are not only the daily rations of the oasis residents, but also the life essence from the rockhorn beetles. They are the foundation for the birth and continued growth of Evolvers."

"So, over time, Farm Village will definitely be able to use this to gradually control the other two villages, including curbing the power of the Hunting Guild in the Fifth Village."

"At the same time, we will further penetrate into the upper civilian areas of the oasis."

"This is the greatest threat to the church's weak foundation. On the surface, the three major families appear to be acting independently, but behind the scenes, they have become one. Coupled with the guild's weakness, for the Li family of Farm Village, all they need to do is take over the church and fill in the last piece of the puzzle of water supply..."

"Thus completely and thoroughly controlling Oasis Town!"

The old man hummed and nodded with satisfaction:
"Although the Holy Spring Sect has strict screening and restriction requirements for its members, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

"You now have two choices..."

"First, continue to improve horse training techniques, assist the church, and complete the eradication of the Li family. After becoming an Oasis upper class, take over the farm village and ensure a stable supply of meat."

"The second option is to still perfect your horse taming skills, but then hand it over to the church. In exchange, you will be granted a portion of the evolved meat of a leader-level rockhorn horse."

　Smart push has been booming recently, but the number of new ones has been falling again and again.

　　If you want to support the book, turn on automatic subscription! I will read 60 chapters and 200,000 words in one go at the end of the month.

　　Otherwise, if you have too many people, the price will drop even more sharply, and the vicious cycle will kill the book...
