Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1023, Legal Propagation

Upon hearing that Qi Hancai wanted him to personally attend the Dawn Conference, Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

With airplanes available, the journey isn't too far, but the back-and-forth travel is indeed troublesome.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "You can't reach an agreement on your end?"

Qi Hancai smiled wryly, "The issue of human leaders alone has dragged on for a long time. We held no less than ten meetings before we finally reached an agreement. Now that we have the church and missionary work added to the mix, it will probably take even longer."

She paused, then her tone became serious, "Moreover, religion is something that's hard to convince people with just words. If you can be there in person, it will not only significantly shorten the meeting, but also allow you to more clearly explain the role of this church."

If things proceed as normal, it would probably take at least half a month to reach a conclusion on the establishment of the new church and its missionary work.

Moreover, it's difficult to explain the difference between this church and those cults simply by talking.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said decisively, "Okay, I'll go there now. You can arrange for the Dawn Conference to be held tomorrow."

Qi Hancai immediately responded, "Okay, I'll pass the notification on right away."

"We'll discuss the rest when I arrive."

"clear."

After hanging up, Wu Heng casually sent Li Yahong a message, telling her to prepare for her flight to South Korea. She replied instantly with "Received." He put away his phone, got up, and walked outside.

Xiao Xiao floated to his side, her voice excited: "Are we going to South Korea? It's been so long since we've been there!"

“Yes, it’s a good time to go back and take a look.” Wu Heng said, getting up and walking outside.

Four ghosts followed behind, while Xiao Xiao sidled up to the Empress and enthusiastically recounted the amusing events of their time capturing the South Korean base.

As I stepped out of the office building, an SUV was already waiting at the door.

Wu Heng opened the car door, and the group headed straight for the airport.

With engines roaring, the plane sliced ​​through the clouds and sped toward the South Korean base.

……

The plane landed at the airport at dusk.

The setting sun bathed the runway in a dark gold hue, and as the cabin door opened, the smell of fuel wafted out.

As I stepped off the gangway, I immediately saw Qi Hancai waiting on the tarmac, with a white-feathered owl perched on his shoulder and a group of base personnel behind him.

Further away, small groups of people gathered, whispering among themselves.

These people are liaisons or businessmen from other bases stationed here.

Today, the South Korean base is no longer just a refuge, but has become a trade hub and information center among global survivor factions.

Everything that can be exchanged—materials, intelligence, technology—circulates here.

It is also the headquarters of the Dawn Alliance.

At this moment, they are watching from a distance, their eyes filled with curiosity and speculation.

Who can get Qi Hancai to come out and greet us personally?

After Wu Heng disembarked from the plane, Qi Hancai strode over and led the way in saluting, "Leader!"

The owl also lowered its head slightly.

The crowd behind him echoed in unison, "Leader!"

Wu Heng smiled and glanced at everyone. "No need for such formality. Let's go inside and talk."

The group walked through the airport and headed straight for the central conference room.

In the conference room.

Wu Heng listened to the routine reports from the key personnel of the base.

After the report was finished, Wu Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. That's all for today. Everyone, go back and rest."

"Yes!" The crowd rose, bowed again, and then left one after another.

The meeting room door closed gently, leaving only him and Qi Hancai.

Qi Hancai continued, "The meeting has been arranged and will start promptly at 8:00 AM tomorrow. The entire meeting will be broadcast live on public radio."

Wu Heng tapped the table lightly with his fingertip and asked, "Do you think the various bases would accept this form of church?"

Qi Hancai pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and said, "In the post-apocalyptic world, people have witnessed too many supernatural phenomena, so it is not difficult for them to accept the concept of 'the existence of gods'."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But it's a bit difficult to get everyone to accept that you are a god. Moreover, the Dawn Alliance has been cracking down on cults recently, and suddenly wanting to promote its own church will inevitably raise suspicions."

He picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and continued his analysis, "After the apocalypse, modern people's thinking is very contradictory. They have experienced phenomena that science can barely explain, such as genetic mutations and the awakening of superpowers. Even if mysterious forces appear, they should be able to accept them as long as they are reasonable. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cults in the outside world."

Wu Heng listened attentively, then nodded. "I understand."

Let the mysterious forces be made reasonable...

It's nothing more than demonstrating some magic, something I'm quite good at.

Qi Hancai didn't say much, her brows relaxed, "Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet!" Wu Heng twisted his neck.

"Two Western chefs just arrived at the base recently. I heard they've worked in five-star hotels," Qi Hancai said with a smile, pulling out her phone. "Shall we have them show you their skills?"

"Sure, I've never seen the cooking skills of a five-star chef before."

Qi Hancai made a phone call, gave a few instructions, and then made a second call, which sounded like she was asking someone to come over.

The two continued chatting about the latest developments at the base.

Dong dong dong~!

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the conference room door.

"Come in," Qi Hancai said.

The door opened, and a secretary in a dark gray business suit walked in. She first bowed to Wu Heng, then handed the file bag in her hand to Qi Hancai, saying, "Deputy Chief, the information you requested has arrived."

"Go check on the kitchen and tell them to speed things up," Qi Hancai said, taking the documents.

The secretary nodded and then left the room.

This secretary, Wu Heng, also left a deep impression on me; he was the former administrative secretary to the head of the South Korean base.

Because she was familiar with all the departments and tasks of the base and could speak Chinese, he didn't kill her and used her to assist Qi Hancai.

Now it has a fairly high status.

"The perpetual motion machine technology has completed real-world testing." Qi Hancai pushed the documents in front of him. "The two test ships built in Shanfu Port sailed 1200 nautical miles continuously without any energy loss."

"Perpetual motion machine?" Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, but he understood what the other party meant.

Once the runes are drawn, the Flame Furnace requires no fuel replenishment; at most, it only requires maintenance of the entire power conversion equipment.

The name "perpetual motion machine" is quite fitting and easy to understand.

After the technology was perfected in Yangtong City, the relevant data was sent to Qi Hancai for shipboard testing.

Wu Heng flipped through the documents, which included a cross-sectional diagram of the core module, various data from the experiment, and pressure tests under extreme weather conditions.

"The frigate has a top speed of 32 knots, and the cargo ship can also reach normal speeds when fully loaded." Qi Hancai paused slightly, then said with a smile, "Now we can say that we are gradually getting rid of our need for fuel."

It is also clear that this experiment was kept secret.

The entire report was personally prepared by Qi Hancai, rather than by key personnel from the base.

Wu Heng closed the documents. "How's it going at the shipyard?"

“We’re using a dual-track system.” Qi Hancai organized his thoughts. “Both local and domestic engineers are responsible for design verification and quality control, while the skeleton laborers handle 90% of the welding and assembly work.” He continued, “Of course, we’re also training the skeletons to learn more core technologies, but that will take some time.”

Wu Heng was quite satisfied with the report and said, "Let's begin mass production!"

Qi Hancai continued, "Regarding warships, we have fully mastered the production technology of frigates, but we are not familiar with the other warships. For transport ships, I suggest adopting the 30-ton standard, with reserved space on the deck for modification, so that they can be quickly converted into aircraft carrier platforms when necessary."

"Let's proceed with this plan," Wu Heng decided.

Frigates and transport ships were mainly used on Treasure Island.

Moreover, the firepower of the frigate is enough to crush the ships from the other world; more advanced weapons can be developed slowly.

"Okay!" Qi Hancai agreed, and then her phone rang with a pleasant ringtone.

He answered the call, listened for a couple of minutes, then hung up and said, "Dinner is ready. The chef specially made Wellington steak."

What is Wellington?

"It seems to be named after some duke, and it tastes pretty good."

"Let's go! Let's try the chef's cooking." Wu Heng stood up.

The two walked side by side towards the restaurant.

……

Night deepens in the bedroom.

Qi Hancai walked gracefully out of the locker room, and Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Black fishnet stockings encased her long, slender legs, and a bunny ear headband swayed with her steps. A deep V-neck bodysuit accentuated her graceful curves.

"Surprise~!" Qi Hancai said, pressing the play button on her phone.

As the dynamic rhythm began, Qi Hancai started swaying her waist to the music, showcasing her flexibility and strength.

After the dance ended, she turned nimbly, casually sat sideways on Wu Heng's lap, and asked, slightly out of breath, "How was it?"

Wu Heng casually put his arm around her waist, his palm able to feel the firm muscle lines beneath the fabric. "You can do all this? You could debut as a celebrity."

"I learned it from the girl group at the base." Qi Hancai adjusted her slightly crooked rabbit ears. "Didn't you say last time you wanted to introduce me to those girls?"

"You jump better than me?" Wu Heng asked.

“They’re professionals,” Qi Hancai deliberately twisted her waist. “But I learned faster, which is probably related to my job change.”

Qi Hancai's profession scroll is Ranger, which emphasizes action and mobility.

Learning to dance seems like a good fit.

“Your dancing is no worse than theirs.” Wu Heng picked her up by the waist and threw her directly onto the bed.

……

Another world, a sanctuary!

The religious leader's boots struck the white stone bricks, the crisp sound echoing in the hall.

The towering stone pillars are carved with the glory of the Papacy, and the domes and murals depict the life of the Papacy and the guidance of God.

The religious leader stopped at the end of the path, gave a slight bow, and said, "Your Holiness the Pope!"

On the high platform, the Pope, dressed in a magnificent robe and holding a scepter, declared, “The revelation of the Father has arrived! Wu Heng will appear in the Kingdom of Yeko during the ‘Week of Courage.’ You must set off immediately and seize the opportunity.”

Below, on either side, the two Holy Sees of the Vatican also sharpened their gazes.

"We will obey God's will," the three replied in unison.

……

The next day.

At 8:00 a.m. sharp, representatives from various bases entered the venue one after another, and the sound of footsteps and noisy discussions echoed in the hall.

Wu Heng also carried a briefcase and walked into the venue alone.

As he sat in the seat of Yama, countless gazes converged upon him.

"Chief Wu Wu?"

As soon as I sat down, an uncertain question came from beside me.

Turning his head, he saw a familiar face. Huai Zhixing, the representative of the Chang'an Qiong Base, was staring at him with wide eyes.

"Representative Huai, how have you been?" Wu Heng greeted him with a smile.

"It really is you! I was wondering why Deputy Chief Qi would suddenly call an emergency meeting." Huai Zhixing's voice was filled with undisguised excitement. Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, he lowered his voice and said, "It's not easy to see you these days."

Wu Heng is now the global leader of humanity, although he still represents the Underworld.

He could also be described as the leader of everyone present.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for the last-minute addition to the agenda."

“You flatter me.” Huai Zhixing skillfully switched back to an official tone and continued, “Is there any special significance to the ‘Spiritual Revelation Church’ mentioned in this discussion?”

At the Alliance meeting, all proposals are made public in advance.

This is also to allow the representatives and their respective bases to discuss the matter in advance, rather than making a decision on the spot based on a momentary impulse.

"The Yama Palace is prepared to provide support and spread its doctrines to the various bases in the form of a church," Wu Heng replied directly.

Huai Zhixing paused, then leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "To be frank, the human leadership system is already sufficient to unite the various bases. Is this form of church necessary...?"

If other bases propose to establish churches, they will inevitably be seen as a pretext for controlling people's hearts and minds and plundering resources.

But given the current status of the Underworld, which is already focused on exporting resources and has recently approved a human leader, there's absolutely no need for them to do all this.

“What if I told you that gods do exist?” Wu Heng suddenly asked.

Huai Zhixing's pupils suddenly contracted, he opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbed, and finally he could only squeeze out a stiff smile, "Is...is that so!"

“Even before the apocalypse, I wouldn’t have believed it either,” Wu Heng continued. “But some things, once you’ve truly experienced them, you can’t help but believe them.”

"This..." Huai Zhixing was somewhat at a loss for words.

Wu Heng didn't say much about this matter, his gaze falling on the newly established eighth seat on the opposite side. "Then how come a new seat is being added?"

“Mawa Eternal Fortress!” Huai Zhixing explained, following his gaze. “A refuge in the Middle East, it joined the alliance two months ago and has a large amount of oil and mineral resources.”

As they were talking, several representatives from the major bases also noticed the conversation taking place.

The representative of New Eden was the first to stand up, "Chief of Wuheng."

Then the other representatives also stood up and came over to greet them.

Representatives from the seven major bases gathered here, while representatives from the small and medium-sized bases craned their necks to look.

I don't know what big thing happened, why are they all gathered together?

At 8 o'clock sharp, the lights in the conference room were suddenly turned up to a higher brightness.

Qi Hancai strode into the venue, her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a fitted tactical uniform, high-top boots, and a white owl on her shoulder, matching the vest.

Standing in front of the podium, he said, "Please take your seats, representatives."

The delegates, who had been exchanging pleasantries, immediately returned to their seats.

After the last representative took his seat, Qi Hancai immediately said, "The only agenda item for this emergency meeting, initiated by the Yama Palace Refuge, is the application for the 'Spirit Revelation Cult's' legal missionary rights within the Alliance."
