Chapter 1019, Training Two Heroes
Chapter 1019, Training Two Heroes
The sun totem painted on the steel wall reflects dazzling light under the sun.
The crooked lines look like children's scribbles, but give people a strange sense of fanaticism.
"This is too much!" Xiao Xiao made a Superman flying pose and looked at the wall that was almost covered with graffiti. "They painted it like a big light bulb."
Benny also took a look and said, "That's quite a vivid description."
Wu Heng did not join in the conversation between the two. He patted the skeleton's glittering shoulder bone lightly, and the glittering insect's wings flapped faster again and shot towards the wall.
The four ghosts stopped chatting and quickened their pace to catch up.
Amid the whistling sounds, the guards on the wall finally noticed the rapidly approaching target.
"There are missiles!" someone shouted subconsciously.
"It's not a missile, it's a big bug."
"It's a monster, shoot! Shoot quickly."
In the chaos, someone saw the target clearly and gave orders loudly.
In the panic and confusion, the sounds of people opening the safety pins became continuous.
Bang Bang Bang ~!
Without warning, without negotiation, bullets rained down into the sky.
Wu Heng raised his hand, and a crystal clear water curtain condensed out of thin air.
The bullet shot into the water curtain, and as if it was stuck in sticky colloid, its speed suddenly dropped, and finally it stopped in mid-air, floating in the water curtain.
The people on the wall widened their eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Superpower!"
"damn it!"
Everyone was talking in low voices, and their hands were hurriedly changing bullets.
Without waiting for the gun to be raised again.
Swish swish~!
The water curtain in the sky suddenly collapsed and turned into thousands of water droplets that smashed into the wall.
Bang Bang Bang ~!
The water drops hit the wall like sharp arrows, and the gunfire stopped abruptly amid the smoke and dust.
The skeleton landed on the top of the wall, and Wu Heng jumped down from its back. Under his feet were the dead guards. Even though they were wearing some protective gear, they were beaten into a sieve by the water drops.
Inside the base, the sound of gunfire attracted the attention of others.
Amid the noise and chaos, hundreds of people rushed out of the buildings within the base, holding various weapons in their hands. Among them were women and children.
The crowd rushed out in chaos, but were stunned when they looked at the wall. It was not a group of zombies, nor an army, but a black-haired young man in leather armor, and a strangely shaped white skeleton.
A skeleton that can stand up and move.
Yama Palace! Yama King?
Hurrah~!
The crowd began to move, pushing the women and children to the front, forming a human wall.
Wu Heng looked at the people behind him, and after a quick glance, he locked his eyes on a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a long robe, and a necklace with the sun shining on his chest.
"Are you the bishop of the Sun Cult?"
The man's face changed, and he suddenly shouted, "Kill him! He carries the zombie virus! It will infect everyone!"
The sound of the gun safety being turned on again was particularly harsh.
"Let them be quiet." Wu Heng said.
The empress rushed into the crowd, and people fell down one after another like cut ears of wheat wherever she passed. In a blink of an eye, the only sound in the whole area was the sound of snoring.
The man with glasses also fell backwards, but at the moment of falling, the skeleton jumped down, and its bone claws grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulders like iron clamps and lifted him back to the wall.
The pain made him wake up from his dream, "What are you going to do..."
Before he finished speaking, a drop of water pierced his heart accurately.
The man's eyes widened and he slowly collapsed.
After everyone died, Wu Heng raised his hand and released [Talk to the Dead].
The corpse suddenly sat up, and its cloudy eyes looked over here.
Wu Heng asked: "Does the Sun Cult really have a god, or is it just a trick to fool people?"
"Gods really exist. They guide me and save all living beings in distress." The corpse's voice was dry but firm.
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.
He is truly a believer.
When a corpse answers a question, it will give the answer that it thinks is correct.
That is, he did believe that God existed.
Glenda said, "Ask him where he got the information that he had seen God."
Wu Heng asked: "How did you see the gods, or learn about the existence of gods?"
The corpse replied, "I saw divine revelation in a dream."
In the information given by Li Yahong, it was mentioned that the other party received divine revelation in a dream.
It seems that this one is true.
“Did you see what God looked like?”
“I didn’t see the appearance of God, but I listened to the teachings and saw the signs and symbols of God!”
Wu Heng wanted to ask, how do you know it is a god if you haven’t seen it?
But this question is of little significance.
Then he asked, "Can you take the initiative to contact the gods?"
The corpse replied, "No..., I can only listen to some sounds."
The last question.
"Besides you, has anyone else had this dream and received the so-called divine revelation?"
The corpse replied, "Not yet."
Five questions to end.
The body fell back to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Xiao flew around the corpse and said, "He wouldn't take his dream seriously, would he?"
Granda said: "If it was just a dream, it would be impossible for the figure I drew to be so similar to the Holy See."
"Then he is too weak." Xiaoxiao still had some doubts.
Wu Heng glanced at the corpses around him and the other people who were sleeping.
He said, "Search the base to see if there is anything valuable. I'll call the airport and ask them to arrange for someone to take over here."
"Okay!" The four ghosts agreed and dispersed.
Wu Heng picked up the phone and dialed the number he had written down earlier.
After a brief exchange, the other party was asked to arrange for troops to come over.
hang up the phone.
The skeletons were shining on the ground, with all kinds of guns and ammunition piled together.
Wu Heng put it into the space ring.
Then, Benny flew back first and said, "We found some weapons and ammunition. I don't know how such a small base has so many guns."
Wu Heng said: "There's nothing strange about it. In some countries, firearms are legal and there are various stores selling them. Firearms are also easy to get."
"Oh! That's what I said!" Benny nodded.
Xiao Xiao also said, "I also found some gold and silver jewelry here, and I think they want to trade with us."
"Take me there and put all these away." Wu Heng followed the ghost to several rooms and collected all the valuable items inside.
One man and two souls came out after searching.
Glenda and the Empress were waiting at the door, and Glenda said, "There's something in that bishop's room that I need you to look at."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, feeling that the other party's expression was a little serious.
"Let's go!"
……
When I pushed open the wooden door, a musty smell hit me in the room.
The walls are covered with hand-painted sun totems, the edges of the paper have turned yellow and curled.
Unlike the rough patterns on the walls outside, these patterns appear to be much more delicate, and the arc of each ray of light has been repeatedly traced.
"It's becoming more and more similar. Some of the patterns also appear on the robes of the priests of the Vatican." Granda pointed to a few sketches in the corner.
But each one is roughly the same, as if it was drawn when the memory was vague.
The four souls of one person looked around the room for a while, and Granda said softly: "From the current situation, it doesn't seem like the Holy See has taken the initiative to influence this side."
Wu Heng looked over and asked, "What do you mean?"
"If it was a direct influence of the Church, it wouldn't be so vague. It's more like he accidentally spied on something." Granda continued, "If God really noticed him, it wouldn't have developed into what it is now."
"That makes sense." Wu Heng nodded.
Xiao Xiao blinked, "So, he had a dream, and then he fooled himself into becoming a believer?"
"That's a very good summary." Benny nodded.
"Take the information back first, and we'll discuss it later." Wu Heng said as he collected all the information and put it into the space ring.
The base was swept.
Wu Heng sat in front of the open door of the base and waited.
Soon, the buzzing sound of drones came from far away, and two reconnaissance drones were hovering in the sky.
After confirming that there was no danger, the armored vehicles and troops approached quickly.
The official, who had met before, quickly got off the armored vehicle, looked inside through the open door, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
The road was filled with people lying down, some of them were snoring, and the scene was incredibly strange.
He looked at Wu Heng again, his voice tense, "You came here just to wipe out this place?"
How can this be called an investigation? It is simply an extermination of the entire family!
But in his mind, he thought of the Dawn Alliance agreement on jointly eliminating dangerous bases.
It feels like they were sent here to clean up this base.
But the situation before him was too exaggerated. One person ended the arming of an entire base so quickly.
Are all the big bases so powerful?
Wu Heng said, "I'm here to confirm some things. You can take the rest of the people back. You can contact Li Yahong for the details."
The officer breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person did not ask for the execution of all of them.
"Don't worry, I will take these people back and investigate their identities." After saying that, he straightened his back and said, "Do you need a car to take you back to the airport?"
"No need! You guys go ahead and get busy." Wu Heng said.
The officer nodded and waved his hand slightly. The soldiers quickly rushed into the base, woke up all the survivors, and put them under custody.
After Wu Heng left the other party's sight, a skeleton fell from the sky. Wu Heng grabbed the other party's body, soared into the sky, and returned to the airport.
Continue to take the plane back to Xinfu City.
……
on the plane.
After hanging up the call with Li Yahong, Granda and the empress floated to his side.
"I reviewed it carefully." Glenda said, "From the interrogation of the corpse and the intelligence we collected, it seems that his consciousness accidentally connected to a certain existence, just like the radio station we use accidentally received cross-border radio waves."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows. This explanation was quite apt.
"You mean, this person accidentally received a message from the Vatican in his dream, but the signal was not good, and all he saw and heard were blurry images."
"Yes! That's what I guessed." Glenda nodded.
Wu Heng looked at the empress again, "In terms of the spread of gods and beliefs, was there a way to pass them on through dreams in ancient times?"
"Dreams also need a medium. It's impossible to dream about something like this for no reason." The queen thought for a while and said, "But I agree with Glenda's speculation. This person, for some reason, unconsciously captured the fluctuations of faith and misunderstood it as 'divine revelation'."
"If that's the case, then what is the medium?" Wu Heng continued to ask.
"Just check it out. Anyway, it's related to the Church. For example, the Church has planted some magic in you, or the Church's strange objects, props, or some people." The Queen continued, "But you don't have to worry too much. From the current point of view, it is impossible for that god to infiltrate."
Wu Heng narrowed his eyes. He actually had a rare item from the Holy See in his hand, and he had also captured the other party's priest.
It seems that it really needs to be dealt with.
I hope your nest is really taken down.
The plane arrived at the Xinfu City base. Wu Heng told Li Yahong about the situation and asked her to pay attention to emerging religious organizations on the radio.
This time I didn't stay long and went all the way back to the prison.
All the priests who had been imprisoned in the cells and transformed into zombies were transformed into skeletons.
Wait until everything is settled before returning to Treasure Island.
……
Ta Ta Ta Ta~!
The sound of running footsteps was heard, Xiaoxiao and Benny controlled the puppets, holding hands and jogging down from upstairs.
Wu Heng followed behind, and behind him were Glenda and the Empress.
After greeting several ghosts, Minnie looked at Wu Heng and said, "Master, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, let the kitchen make some simple preparations." Wu Heng said.
"Okay!" Minnie smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
Soon, dinner was ready and Wu Heng sat down at the table and began to enjoy his dinner.
After eating some.
Shannella came out of the training room, sat down opposite, and poured herself a glass of fruit wine.
After taking a sip, he said, "The Wood Elves held a new elders' meeting. The news reached me and they wanted me to discuss cooperation with you."
Wu Heng forked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth, "Try this, it's delicious today."
"I'm talking." Shannella mumbled while chewing.
"Oh! How do we cooperate?" Wu Heng put down the cutlery.
The skeleton nearby immediately came over and collected all the tableware.
Shannara rolled her eyes at him. This was not the delicious food of the day. It was the last bite that she couldn't finish and had to stuff it into her own mouth.
After chewing and swallowing, he said, "The Wood Elves can build a spiritual church for the entire tribe, but the Holy See has threatened the elders with heroes, saying that they will replace all the personnel."
Wu Heng asked curiously, "What does Treasure Island need to do for the Wood Elves?"
The Wood Elves and Treasure Island have always had a close relationship.
One of them is the relationship between Wu Heng and Shannara, but the cooperation between the two parties is also carried out in a mutually beneficial manner.
Since the Wood Elves have to face the threat of the Holy See replacing their top leaders, they have naturally thought about what they want to get from Treasure Island.
Moreover, it is an equivalent condition.
Shannara hesitated, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Just say it straight. There's nothing wrong between us talking about it." Wu Heng said directly.
Shannella nodded and said, "The Great Elder said that the condition is that Treasure Island trains two heroes for the Wood Elves."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Great Elder, you are really smart."
Shannara also smiled awkwardly.
Previously, the association asked Wu Heng to promote the reputation of the association elders, but it was rejected.
The request made by the wood elves is actually no different from that of the association.
They are all for spreading fame to high-level professionals. You can’t let Treasure Island train you from level one!
Shannella observed his expression and then said, "I understand that this is a difficult matter, but if you want to build more churches in the territory of the Wood Elves, you have to make an offer that the Council of Elders cannot refuse. And the Wood Elves have wanted for hundreds of years to have their own heroes."
"I understand, but we are also under threat from the Vatican right now, and Treasure Island also needs heroes." Wu Heng replied.
"I've been thinking about this too, and I've come up with a compromise. Would you like to hear about it?" Shannara continued.
Shannara is actually in a difficult position being caught in the middle. On one side is her own race, with everyone in her family being wood elves, and on the other side is her lover.
I am working hard to make both sides better and closer.
"What's the compromise?" Wu Heng looked at her curiously.
"It's just two heroes! You can choose two high-level professionals from the wood elves, have them sign a contract with you, and then train them into heroes."
Shannella smiled and said, "This way, the Wood Elves have a hero, and he is also the hero of Treasure Island."
