Chapter 1089, God
At dusk, Qi Hancai came back from outside in a hurry.
He threw the stack of documents in his hand onto the desk and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wu Heng asked, "What was the outcome of the meeting?"
Qi Hancai showed a hearty smile on her face. "It will only benefit them, not harm them. Why don't you agree?"
After saying that, he picked up his water cup and took a long sip before continuing, "Li Yahong will be responsible for arranging the specific personnel and equipment for the rescue team. The alliance bases will mainly provide logistical support and coordination. We will strive to complete all preparations within a week and then immediately launch the operation."
Wu Heng nodded with satisfaction.
He has always been confident in Qi Hancai's ability to do things. Since she took over the management of the Korean base, she has not only managed it in an orderly manner, but also handled things more sophisticatedly and thoroughly.
"Remember to release announcements in advance through radio stations and forums so that survivors in remote areas can be prepared and boost morale," Wu Heng added.
"It has been arranged. The promotional material will be released before tomorrow morning." Qi Hancai answered neatly, obviously having considered everything in advance.
Seeing this, Wu Heng couldn't help but smile in relief: "Okay, the rest is up to you. You are experts in this area."
"Don't worry! I said a week, maybe it won't take that long." Qi Hancai was full of confidence, and then changed her tone, "Dinner is ready, let's go eat first."
"Okay, only when you're full will you have the energy to work." Wu Heng stood up.
Qi Hancai walked over naturally, straightened his collar, which wasn't actually messy, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "That's better. If you just leave after giving me the task, I'll really get upset..."
Wu Heng smiled and patted her on the back, "What's going on?"
"I'll go to Xinfu City to make trouble with you. I'll live wherever you live and won't leave." Qi Hancai's eyes moved and he responded with a smile.
"Okay, I'll try tonight and see if you can still get up tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qi Hancai punched him lightly in an annoyed tone, "No need to 'try hard'! Just perform normally."
The two of them walked out of the office while laughing and chatting in low voices, went to the cafeteria to eat together, and then returned to their residence to rest.
……
The next morning, Wu Heng returned to his temporary dormitory at the South Korean base.
Four ghosts were gathered in the room, each browsing their phones.
Seeing him come in, Xiao Xiao immediately raised a pile of colorful phone cases in her hand and said like she was presenting a treasure, "Uncle, look! I bought new phone cases for everyone!"
"Buy so much?" Wu Heng said.
"There are a lot of us! And Minnie and the others don't usually have the chance to exchange these, so we should buy some extra." Xiao Xiao said, pulling out a simple black anti-fall case and handing it over. "Uncle, this is yours!"
"Our Xiaoxiao is becoming more and more sensible." Wu Heng smiled and rubbed her hair, then took the phone case.
Sitting down, Glenda began to speak, "The post on the forum about the Lingqi Cult leading the rescue has gone viral. It wasn't long after it was posted, and there were already hundreds of comments."
"What's everyone's attitude?" Wu Heng asked as he put on a new case for his phone and opened the forum.
"There's almost overwhelming support, with many saying this should have been done long ago and that it could have saved more people," Granda continued.
Wu Heng clicked on the pinned post:
[The Lingqi Cult will lead the Dawn Alliance to launch a large-scale rescue operation for survivors in remote and high-risk areas]
The comments below are refreshing rapidly.
"It's time to take action! Thumbs up to the Lingqi Cult!"
"The Dawn Alliance was too inefficient before. If it weren't for the promotion of the Spiritual Awakening Church, who knows how long it would have dragged on."
"We still have a lot of zombies here, and our food won't last a few days. Requesting rescue first! Coordinates attached!"
"This is the organization that truly works for survivors!"
The number of comments has increased from a few hundred to thousands in the blink of an eye.
Regardless of how many people can be rescued in the end, this operation itself has greatly enhanced the reputation and public image of the Lingqi Cult.
Wu Heng browsed for a moment and felt satisfied with the current trend of public opinion.
"The matter here has been handed over to Qi Hancai. She will form a team to be responsible for the rescue. We don't need to intervene any further."
"Well, just make the arrangements." Glenda agreed.
Wu Heng stood up and said, "Let's go. Let's take a plane back."
"Oh!" Several ghosts nodded, and then followed him out.
After saying goodbye to Qi Hancai outside the runway.
He boarded the plane and returned to Xinfu City Prison.
Then go through the prison and head to Treasure Island.
……
Inside the island owner’s mansion.
As soon as Wu Heng and the empress came down from upstairs, they saw Xiaoxiao holding a cardboard box and distributing cell phone cases to the women in the family.
Although Xiaoxiao is young, his mind is much more mature than other children of the same age.
She is very good at maintaining good relationships with everyone in her own way, and everyone in the Island Master's Mansion likes her very much.
Especially Lilith, Shannara and others.
Although Wu Heng and he themselves are unable to have children, they feel like treating Xiao Xiao as their daughter.
Wu Heng walked downstairs and asked, "Have you practiced?"
Shannara smiled and said, "I finished my training in the morning."
"Has anyone succeeded in their cultivation?" Wu Heng asked.
The women looked at each other and shook their heads.
"It's okay, take your time, there's no rush!" Wu Heng said, then continued, "Then I'll be out first."
"Okay!" Shanara nodded.
Wu Heng brought his empress with him, used teleportation, and headed to the wild forest behind the Treasure Island. He continued to practice the second level of 'Five Qis Returning to the Origin' at the old location.
Guide the five elements' spiritual energy to temper your internal organs.
As dusk approached, the effect of the [Knife of Truth] dissipated, and he got up and returned with the Empress.
……
Return to the island owner’s mansion.
In the living room, Xilagui, Shi Yali and the wood elf sisters were sitting together chatting.
"Wu Heng!" Shi Yali was the first to wave hello and said with a smile, "My mother has gone back. She said she will bring my father to visit the island next time."
Wu Heng smiled and said, "Just write a letter and let me know. Why make such a special trip?"
"She has her own things to deal with, and after returning this time, she may not come back in the short term." Shi Yali explained, "We specifically instructed her not to disclose the specific situation on the island to the outside world."
"It's okay! It's okay if I tell anyone." Wu Heng smiled and asked, "How's your cultivation progress recently?"
Xilagui replied: "It's going pretty well, but it may take some time before a breakthrough."
"If you ask me, just hand over the association's affairs to them. Since three elders are here now, you can just stay in the island master's mansion and train." Wu Heng said directly.
Xi Lagui hesitated to speak, and glanced at the others cautiously, "I'll think about it."
Everyone chatted for a while.
Dinner was ready, so they sat down to eat together.
……
After dinner, Wu Heng was chatting with the women in his family. Just as he was about to get up and go back to his room to rest, he heard a burst of hurried and clear footsteps at the door.
Following the sound, I saw Lilith, wearing a black dress and walking in quickly with a serious expression.
Compared to his usual indifference, there was a rare sense of tension in his expression.
"Sister Lilith, are you here to watch a movie?" Xiaoxiao was the first to greet.
Lilith forced a smile, but her tone was a little absent-minded: "I have something urgent to discuss with your uncle."
"Oh! Then you guys talk first, and then we can go to the casino to play?" Xiaoxiao was still enthusiastic.
"It depends on the situation, if the matter is settled." Lilith said perfunctorily, and her eyes turned to Wu Heng.
The rest of the people in the hall stood up and saluted respectfully.
Lilith just nodded coldly, then said to Wu Heng, "Come with me."
After saying that, he walked straight to the side hall.
Wu Heng's heart sank. He quickly followed him in, closed the door, and asked, "What happened?"
"I have already reported to our headquarters the news that you mentioned earlier about the former leader of the Twelve Heavenly Holy Church possibly attacking the Holy See. Now it depends on whether the Holy See will take any action as a result." Lilith sat down on a single chair, her tone calm.
"There's something else, right?" Wu Heng stared at her.
Lilith was silent for a moment, her expression completely gloomy, and her voice lowered even further, "I tried to contact my informant in the Holy Temple... but I didn't get any response."
He paused and took a deep breath. "I used a rare object to investigate. He's dead! The radio is likely in the hands of the murderer."
Wu Heng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran up his spine.
After waiting for a long while, he finally spoke: "In other words... the Vatican's silence during this period is not hesitation at all, but rather a search for spies within the church?"
"We can't be completely sure that it was the Vatican's doing, but... all the clues point to the worst possibility." Lilith's voice was dry.
"Where are the other spies?" Wu Heng asked.
Lilith shook her head. "There are a few more, but they're at a lower level, so news can only be passed on through occasional letters. And the one who died was a deputy deacon of the association! Even he was dug out and eliminated... The others are probably in grave danger too, let alone spreading the news."
Wu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong sense of crisis seemed to strangle his throat.
The worst premonition came true.
"Is there any other information?" His face turned completely gloomy.
"No, that's all." Lilith shook her head and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Wu Heng's brain was working rapidly, but facing the possible arrival of the gods, any conventional plan seemed pale and powerless.
He took a deep breath and said seriously, "I still need time to think about the specific countermeasures, Lilith..."
Wu Heng looked up at her and said, "If the gods really come, the relationship between you and me will inevitably put you in extreme danger. You must believe me, I have a way to protect you."
"Protect them?" Lilith smiled bitterly. "If the gods truly appeared, where in this world would be safe? If we die at the hands of a god, perhaps even our names would be prominently recorded in the annals of elven history."
Her relationship with Wu Heng could be hidden from the Vatican and the Association, but it could never be hidden from the gods of the Vatican.
According to records from all sides, there are no secrets in front of this deity.
Wu Heng looked at her in shock. He didn't expect that she was more open-minded than he thought, even with a kind of desperate calmness.
He put his hands on her shoulders and stared at her with burning eyes. "I'm not kidding. I've prepared a backup plan. Believe me, even if he really comes, we may not die."
Lilith frowned at him.
Although deep down he still found it hard to believe that anything could fight against a true god, he finally nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wu Heng said, "You go back first and stabilize the association. I also need some time to think."
"Yeah." Lilith stood up, calmed herself down, and walked out.
Walking into the living room, Xiaoxiao poked her head out from behind the sofa: "Are you done chatting, sister? Do you want to go out and play?"
