Chapter 1099, Return
The existence suspended in mid-air exudes a supreme aura that cannot be peeped into or understood.
Just looking at it, an inexplicable fear involuntarily surged into my heart.
Wu Heng was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked.
He had imagined strange objects, ancient viruses, and even unknown creatures, but he never expected that the source of the global catastrophe would be this kind of thing, which might be related to God.
Anything related to "God" is beyond common sense.
At this moment, it was quietly suspended in front, continuously emitting incomprehensible fluctuations, distorting and affecting everything around it.
Even though he was controlling the lifeless skeleton, Wu Heng's spiritual consciousness attached to it was under tremendous pressure.
Dizziness, strange whispers, and all kinds of distracting thoughts and emotions that did not belong to him hit his consciousness like a tide.
If I didn't rely on my skills to control the skeleton, even if I was in hero status, it would be difficult to get close to it.
Directly below the dazzling ball of light, you can see the black dodecahedron container that you had seen in the photo.
At this moment, its top opened outwards like blooming metal petals.
Sure enough, it is a container!
The skeleton struggled to approach despite the pressure that almost tore its consciousness apart.
The mental interference became more and more intense, and Wu Heng's body even felt waves of physical nausea and trance, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, carefully searching for a way to close the container.
His eyes were fixed on the extremely complex case of the dodecahedron container.
On those absolutely smooth cross-sections, one can vaguely detect some extremely fine, seemingly naturally formed lines, which intertwine with each other and vaguely form a rune-like structure.
A bold idea flashed through my mind.
He had seen the sarcophagus where the vampires sealed the Exile.
The runes on the sarcophagus are like a code, sealing the exile inside.
He controlled the skeleton to extend its bony fingers and began to tentatively touch and move the 'runes' that seemed to be embedded in the surface of the container, as if he was solving a sophisticated three-dimensional Rubik's Cube.
Every touch was extremely difficult, and the mental interference almost made his judgment inaccurate.
Time seemed to become incomparably long.
Just when he felt that his spiritual awareness was about to reach its limit!
Click!
An extremely slight but extremely clear knock was heard!
The entire dodecahedron container suddenly glowed with a layer of flowing water-like light, and the "petals" at the top suddenly contracted and closed!
An invisible suction force was instantly generated, pulling the ball of light that was suspended in the air and emitting terrifying energy and mental pollution back into the container!
Buzz~!
It was as if the whole world was muted.
All the intense mental disturbances, strange whispers, and overwhelming dizziness disappeared without a trace in that instant.
The laboratory returned to silence, leaving only dilapidated equipment, coldness, and darkness.
It worked!
Wu Heng felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He immediately lifted the [Divine Presence] and his consciousness instantly returned to his body far away in the temporary base.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the wood elf sisters sitting next to me, chatting in low voices about what happened on the plane last night.
They were all wearing protective clothing, and their voices were muffled.
Seeing him wake up, he immediately stopped talking and looked over.
Eluria, her elder sister, asked with concern, "My Lord, what's the situation? Do you need us to go in and help now?"
"It should be resolved." Wu Heng rubbed his still swollen temples, "Wait a moment, I need to verify it."
He picked up the intercom left by the temporary base leader and asked, "Can you hear me?"
"Captain Wu Heng, please speak!" The other side responded immediately.
"Find an experimental animal and send it to the core area of the research station to try." Wu Heng ordered.
"Received! Execute immediately!"
Soon, a small reconnaissance team drove towards the research station.
After estimating that the time was almost up, Wu Heng used [Divine Presence] again, and his consciousness returned to the remaining skeleton.
Through the skeleton's vision, a sled dog wearing a cotton coat was seen running in quickly.
The sled dog barked a few times vigilantly at the skeletons, licked the skeletons' leg bones twice, then turned and ran away.
It seems that the seal is indeed effective.
However, before the skeletons could make any move, the sound of dense footsteps was heard again outside the door.
A team wearing special protective clothing came in again with the dog.
The leading captain glanced around and his eyes finally fell on the black dodecahedron container lying quietly on the ground. He waved his hand slightly, and the two team members behind him immediately carried a heavy special metal box and were about to go forward to collect it.
Wow~!
The skeleton controlled by Wu Heng suddenly waved his hand!
All the standing skeleton warriors around moved in sync instantly, and the bone knives on their waists were unsheathed half an inch. The sound of white bones rubbing against each other was particularly harsh in the dead silence.
Everyone in the team froze and did not take the next step.
The captain looked at the movements of the skeletons around him and understood that this was a warning to him.
He reported quickly into the communicator in a low voice.
After a brief exchange, he took a few photos of the black container and ordered: "Mission changed, retreat!"
However, when they tried to leave, the skeletons moved again, silently blocking the exit.
The team members instantly gripped their weapons nervously.
At this time, the skeleton controlled by Wu Heng slowly raised its bony fingers and pointed at the empty metal box they were carrying.
The captain frowned, "Leave the box behind! Everyone, retreat!"
The team members immediately put the heavy metal box on the ground and quickly left this suffocating place.
Wu Heng then controlled the skeletons to move forward, carefully picked up the black dodecahedron, and placed it firmly into a special metal box and locked it.
The skeletons lifted the box, walked out of the research station, and returned to the temporary base where Wu Heng's real body was located.
Shortly after they left, the previous team re-entered the research station to take photos and collect remaining intelligence.
……
When the skeletons carried the heavy metal box back to the temporary base, Wu Heng went out to greet them with the wood elf sisters.
The cold wind blew up ice particles, which crackled as they hit the protective clothing.
Sister Sylvain looked at the box curiously and couldn't help asking, "My Lord, is this little thing... the one that caused the disaster that hit the whole world?"
"It's just a container. The truly dangerous stuff is sealed inside." Wu Heng said in a serious tone, "For safety reasons, I won't open it to check."
After he finished speaking, he thought about it, and the entire metal box disappeared in an instant and was stored in the space ring.
After confirming that the items were safely stored, Wu Heng took the two sisters back to the warm room of the base.
As soon as he entered the door, the previous person in charge immediately followed him in.
Guang quickly glanced at the skeleton team that returned empty-handed. A hint of barely perceptible anxiety flashed across his face, and he asked cautiously, "Chief Wu Heng, that thing...?"
"I've already put it away properly." Wu Heng looked at him and said, "It was stated at the Dawn Alliance meeting that this item would be handled by Yama Palace. Leaving it in anyone else's hands could lead to a second uncontrollable disaster."
The person in charge looked startled and immediately bowed to explain, "Chief, you misunderstood. I'm just worried that something might go wrong along the way. It's naturally more reassuring for you to handle it than to leave it in our hands."
"Yes!" Wu Heng nodded, "Prepare the car and take us back to the airport!"
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!" The person in charge was obviously relieved and immediately turned around to give orders.
Soon, a transport truck drove up to the door.
Wu Heng boarded the car with the wood elf sisters and the skeleton guards. The vehicle once again broke through the heavy snow and rushed towards the airport where they came from.
……
on the plane.
Wu Heng took the hot tea handed to him by Sylvain and took a sip. The warm liquid dispelled the slight chill left by Antarctica.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed Qi Hancai's number.
The call was connected almost instantly, and Qi Hancai's concerned voice came from the other end: "Hello? Is everything going well over there?"
"Everything went smoothly. The problem has been resolved." Wu Heng said calmly, "You must immediately convene an emergency meeting of the Dawn Alliance and inform everyone that the crisis has been resolved."
After a brief pause, he added, "At the same time, we must implicitly but clearly emphasize at the meeting that if any bases around the world discover anomalies with similar characteristics, they must not handle them on their own. They must report them immediately and we at Yama Palace will take unified control. Any rash action could trigger another disaster."
"I understand!" Qi Hancai responded immediately, and the rustling sound of pen and paper came from the other end of the phone.
Then he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then...what is inside?"
"It's hard to explain with common sense. From the outside, it looks more like a...pure energy luminous body." Wu Heng tried to describe it as simply as possible.
Qi Hancai was silent for a few seconds, her tone uncertain, "Is it something...with strong radiation?"
Luminescence is harmful to living things.
These two points made Qi Hancai think of some items with strong radiation.
"We can't rule out this possibility, but there's no way to open it and study it carefully. The risk is too great." Wu Heng said in a deep voice.
"Then don't open it! Whatever it wants, it's fine. Safety first," Qi Hancai said immediately. Then another question occurred to her: "What if representatives from other bases ask what we did with that thing? How should we respond?"
"Just tell them that I have transferred it to an absolutely safe secret location for permanent storage, so they don't have to worry anymore." Wu Heng explained.
"Okay, I've got that. I'll go arrange the meeting right away." Qi Hancai answered promptly, then asked, "By the way, are you coming back directly to me this time?"
"No, we'll fly directly to the Mexican base. There are still some things to be finished there." Wu Heng said.
"Okay, then be careful."
After hanging up the phone.
Eluria, the elder sister sitting across from me, asked softly, "Sir, why don't we just return to the prison base?"
Wu Heng didn't answer immediately, but just smiled and waved to her.
Eluria understood and stood up to sit next to him.
Wu Heng leaned back naturally and rested his head on her soft and plump thighs.
"Let's go to the volcano base where Lilith is staying." He said with his eyes closed, "The environment there is conducive to your practice of the Body Refining Technique."
"Well, everything will be arranged by you, sir." A gentle smile appeared in Eluria's eyes, and her slender fingers gently combed the hair on his forehead.
Wu Heng opened his eyes and looked at her delicate face and concerned eyes so close to him.
He reached out, gently hooked his fingertips around the hem of her close-fitting soft armor, and pulled it upwards.
Eluria raised her eyebrows slightly, understanding the meaning in the other person's eyes, and two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks.
He quickly glanced at his sister who was concentrating on browsing her phone, then took a deep breath, deftly untied the ropes on the side of the armor with his fingers, and carefully rolled up the soft inner shirt.
He carefully lifted one side, slightly turned sideways, and placed it in front of Wu Heng.
