Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1032, Inherited Resistance

The following afternoon, in a zombie world.

From early morning, the entire base was shrouded in a tense and solemn atmosphere.

Wu Heng, Li Yahong, and Zhao Yanqiu were constantly on their feet, shuttling between various departments to finalize the details of the overseas assignment.

In addition to the core priests selected yesterday, they are also equipped with logistical staff, as well as the most crucial 'skull guards'.

These skeleton warriors, upgraded and replaced by zombies, have all reached a high level.

He was fully equipped with a stab-proof vest, a melee iron sword, and firearms.

A ghostly blue flame flickered in his eyes as he stood silently behind the designated priest.

“These people will be prioritized for deployment to large shelters.” Li Yahong took out her phone, which displayed the names of several selected shelters. “As for smaller settlements, we will consider a second batch of deployments after the Dawn Alliance has completed its purge.”

Wu Heng nodded, "You can arrange it."

With the preparations nearly complete, Zhao Yanqiu slowly walked onto the high platform, her magnificent priest's robe cascading down to her ankles, and a thick book, "The Holy Scripture of Revelation," held in front of her chest.

His expression was solemn and devout, his eyes piercing.

"Everyone!" Zhao Yanqiu suddenly spoke, her voice clear and ethereal, echoing throughout the hall, "You have come here with the mission of spreading divine pronouncements..."

The characteristics of a bard led her to be in an open space.

No special equipment is needed; the sound can be clearly heard by everyone.

Below, all the priests simultaneously placed their hands on their chests and bowed, responding in unison, "May the light of God shine upon the world!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire hall.

Wu Heng stood to one side, and heard a small, hushed voice beside him, "Wow, Mom's acting is so realistic! She's even more professional than those old charlatans from the Vatican!"

Wu Heng tilted his head slightly and said, "It must be something I learned from movies."

"Honestly, your leveling up is so slow, but you're quite good at learning these things." Xiao Xiao said in a tone of disappointment.

Wu Heng glanced at Zhao Yanqiu, "Stop talking, or I'll scold you again if I hear you."

"I'm not afraid! I'm invisible, she can just curse at thin air," Xiao Xiao said smugly.

Zhao Yanqiu's speech continued, her tone gradually becoming more impassioned: "The plane is ready on the tarmac. You will fly directly to the base in South Korea, where Vice Leader Qi Hancai will personally meet you."

Looking around at everyone, his voice was firm, "Remember, your every word and action represents the glory of the Spirit Revelation Cult!"

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their eyes burning with enthusiasm.

After speaking, everyone walked out of the hall and boarded the prepared plane.

As the last priest climbed the gangway, the aircraft door slowly closed.

On the track, Wu Heng, Li Yahong, and Zhao Yanqiu stood side by side, with some family members who had come to see them off standing behind them.

Some people sobbed softly, while others waved goodbye.

When only a flickering point of light remained on the plane, it disappeared completely.

Li Yahong withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Wu Heng, "Are you coming back to the central area with me, or going straight back to the prison?"

Wu Heng said, "I'll go back to the prison first. You and Qi Hancai must coordinate the supplies and logistical support for the dispatched personnel."

"Understood." Li Yahong nodded solemnly.

Wu Heng turned to Zhao Yanqiu and said, "I'm leaving the church to you. Train more priests and nuns, and send them to various places as needed."

Zhao Yanqiu smiled slightly, "I will do my best."

Then, Zhao Yanqiu said to the empty space, "Xiaoxiao, be good and don't cause trouble for your uncle."

"Mommy, I'm not over there," a small voice came from the other side, then added, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Uncle!"

Wu Heng smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Xiao Xiao is already a young lady."

"that is!"

We chatted for a while standing at the door.

Wu Heng waved goodbye to the two men, then got into the SUV and left.

Li Yahong, Zhao Yanqiu, and the others who came with them boarded a bus and left the airport.

Four hours later, the vehicle arrived at the prison.

Wu Heng opened the boundary gate and returned to Treasure Island.

……

Treasure Island, the island owner’s mansion.

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed into the hall, turning the floor and furniture amber.

Little Xiao ran downstairs, calling out all the way, "Sister Minnie, Sister Da Ye, Sister Xiao Ye..."

Without waiting for a reply, he rushed into the courtyard.

Then she called out, "Sister Luo Bei, come and play shuttlecock!"

Wu Heng had just come downstairs when he looked in the direction Xiao Xiao was calling. Who was she calling?

As soon as I looked over, I saw the wood elf sisters, Eluria and Sylvain, who walked in one after the other.

Her long, dark green hair was tied up, and she wore cool beach shorts and a close-fitting corset. Her bare skin still bore the lingering marks of the Black Bird Burning Pattern.

"My lord." The two sisters bowed slightly, their pointed ears glowing red in the twilight.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her attire, she hesitated for a moment, but still stood there confidently.

Wu Heng nodded. "How's the training going?"

"I can feel energy tempering my skin," said Elurria, the older sister. "It's amazing."

"My lord!" Sylvie suddenly leaned closer, her amber eyes shining brightly. "Is he really as invulnerable as Sanera said?"

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "That depends on whose sword it is. If it's a normal weapon around level 15, the skin can block it."

The two sisters stared wide-eyed.

That's really true.

Sylvain exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this like having an extra layer of armor growing on your body?!"

Eluria pressed on, "My lady, I heard there's a next stage?"

"This is the first stage. As for the effects later on, I'm not entirely sure, but it will definitely get stronger and stronger," Wu Heng answered calmly.

The two sisters held hands, their faces still filled with excitement.

“Master~!” Minnie’s voice rang out from the side, smiling as she said, “It’s time to eat.”

Wu Heng nodded and said to the wood elf sisters, "Eat first, there's no rush to practice slowly."

"We'll go change our clothes and come right away," the wood elf sister said, and the two went upstairs together.

Wu Heng walked towards the restaurant, and Minnie stood at the door, calling out to the courtyard, "Luo Bei, dinner's ready..."

……

On the table.

The wood elf sisters changed into simple, elegant everyday clothes and took their seats, and everyone began to eat.

“I took them to the entertainment center last night.” Shanera said, cutting a steak and glancing over.

"How are you feeling?" Wu Heng asked.

Elurria, the older sister, said with a touch of emotion, "It's a magical place..."

Sylvain added, "It was also a lot of fun."

“If you like, you can go play whenever you have free time. Anyway, it’s our own business, so it doesn’t cost much money,” Wu Heng said casually.

“Really? Thank you, sir,” Sylvain said happily.

The group chatted for a while.

Sanella continued, "Britanni called this morning to remind us that we should leave, otherwise we'll miss 'Week of Courage'."

“We’ll set off tomorrow.” Wu Heng nodded, then looked at Philippa not far away. “Philippa, tell your mother tonight that we’re leaving tomorrow.”

“Okay!” Philippa thought for a moment and said, “Should we bring Brittany some gifts?”

Wu Heng said, "I'll have Minnie prepare it."

“Okay, I don’t really have anything she likes.” Philippa readily agreed.

After dinner, the women rested in the living room for a while before heading to the training room in unison.

Even after becoming a hero, Viola continued to train every day.

Heroes! They've only distanced themselves from ordinary professionals, but among heroes, the competition still comes down to strength.

The skill still needs to be improved.

If Viola works so hard, the others work even harder.

……

Wu Heng sat in the living room for a while, and then realized that no one was there anymore.

He then got up and went upstairs to return to his study.

Pushing open the door, the doll controlled by Granda reclines on a rocking chair by the window, dressed in a velvet dress, with blooming flowers in a crystal vase on the windowsill.

Like a noblewoman enjoying a leisurely time.

"Where are the others?" Wu Heng asked, sitting down opposite him.

"I went out to play." Granda's toes lightly touched the ground, and the rocking chair made a soothing creak. "A new bar opened on the shopping street. I heard there are people performing songs."

"Didn't you go and take a look? Why are you always staying at home?" Wu Heng asked.

"I'm getting old, and I'm not interested in these things anymore."

"You think you're bigger than the Empress?"

Granda looked over and said irritably, "If she hears this, she'll get angry with you again."

Wu Heng smiled and continued, "Britanni called today, reminding us that we should set off for the Kingdom of Yeko."

“It is indeed time to set off.” Granda’s doll leaned slightly forward, its porcelain face gleaming delicately under the light. “Remember the purpose of this trip: to solidify your divine image, which will also greatly benefit the expansion of the Spirit Revelation Cult.”

Wu Heng said, "At that time, I will prepare a few more cannons for the salute, and then have the helicopters scatter flower petals in the sky..."

"Exaggerated!" Granda commented.

Dong dong dong~!

Wu Heng was about to speak when three knocks sounded on the door.

Then, an eerie silence fell outside the door.

Normally, if the maids come up, they will call out to you as soon as they close the door.

Wu Heng glanced at Granda, then got up and opened the door. Outside, the six-armed skeleton alchemist stood as still as a statue and handed over a bottle of potion.

[Grandmaster's Power Potion]

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow and produced the second bottle of Corpse King Potion.

The Corpse King Potion has a different formula than previous potions, requiring condensed dew formed from 'Moonlight Crystal' as one of its ingredients.

This condensation takes time to form, so even with the Corpse King's 'corpse core', the production efficiency is still slow.

It has been quite some time since the last application of the Corpse King Potion.

"Continue making it!" Wu Heng took the potion, and the skeleton alchemist bowed and withdrew.

Back in the study, Granda turned her head and looked at me. "What is it?"

"The second bottle of Corpse King Potion is ready." Wu Heng shook the glass bottle in his hand, the potion glowing under the light.

Granda closed the book and said, "Perfect! Let's see if we can awaken a new ability this time."

"I feel that the use of superpowers is becoming increasingly limited, and skills are really more useful," Wu Heng said.

“Of course!” Granda rocked back in his chair again. “Special abilities are some of the powers that come with the potion you take, a free gift. Skills are developed to be used in combat or for specific purposes, so the difference between the two is obvious.”

“That’s true.” Wu Heng sat down to the side, took a deep breath, and said, “I’m going to drink this. Remember to save me if you have any problems.”

"No help!"

Wu Heng blinked, "I love you, save me!"

Granda rolled her eyes at him. "Hurry up and drink, stop talking so much."

Wu Heng stopped joking and uncorked the bottle.

He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

A surge of energy exploded within the body, causing muscle spasms, bone groans, and every cell tormented by tearing and rebuilding.

He let out a muffled groan, fell backward, and his fingernails gripped the carpet tightly.

Granda rose and knelt on the ground, gently cradling his head in her arms.

The excruciating pain lasted for about two or three minutes, then subsided, and my breathing gradually became steady.

A system notification also sounded in my ear.

Strength +4, Constitution +3, Agility +3.

[Special Feature Enhancement: Gene Furnace!]

Wu Heng suddenly opened his eyes, not even caring about the lingering pain.

Enhanced features, rather than unlocking new features.

The 'Gene Furnace' is the superpower that was unlocked last time, which allows you to improve yourself by absorbing the genes of other races.

Can this still evolve?
I've taken it so many times myself, and I still haven't encountered a superpower that can be enhanced a second time.

Is it a hidden effect of the Corpse King Potion, or is it because I unlocked the related ability twice in a row?

“Get up when it’s over!” Granda tapped him with her porcelain finger. “I’m not your pillow.”

"It's not ready yet, wait a little longer!"

"Don't even try!" Granda grabbed his ear. "If you dare wipe your sweat on my skirt, do you believe I'll throw you out the window?"

Wu Heng sat up straight and said, "Cold-blooded and ruthless."

"What superpower did you awaken this time?" Granda asked.

“No new abilities.” Wu Heng paused for a moment, then continued, “But the ‘Gene Furnace’ ability seems to have been upgraded.”

“Upgrade? What do you mean?” Granda returned to her recliner.

"Wait a moment! Let me take a look." Wu Heng also returned to his chair, opened the panel, and began to check the effects of his special ability.

【Gene Furnace】: By consuming its own life force, it fuses cells into the gene chain of any known organism, thereby acquiring physiological characteristics and inheriting specific resistances.

Wu Heng read it word by word, and when he saw the last few words, his brows furrowed instantly.

Compared to the previous introduction.

This time, the phrase 'inherit specific resistance' has been added.

Inherit specific resistances...

Inheritance... seems to be somewhat different from the gene fusion mentioned earlier.

Granda sat and waited for a while. Seeing that he didn't move, she said, "You've been frozen in place by Sun Wukong! What have you sensed?"

Wu Heng raised his head and said, "In the previous gene furnace, a specific resistance was inherited."

“Inheritance?” Granda repeated, then said, “It’s easy to understand. Take a corpse as an example. Whatever resistance the corpse you are absorbing originally had, you will get that resistance.”

"I'm wondering if I can repeatedly use the same corpse to gain resistance," Wu Heng said, expressing his doubts.

“Let’s try it out, we have quite a few organs, don’t we!” Granda also became interested.

Wu Heng nodded and took out an organ jar from his spatial ring. There was a note on the jar that read "Pizza Earl".

Count Pizza is Little's name; the owner of the internal organs is the previous leader of the vampire clan.

He had previously tried to reclaim Lilith's leadership position but was killed by Wu Heng in the vampire territory.

“Let’s begin! You’ll be going back to rest soon,” Granda said.

Wu Heng nodded, opened the organ jar, took out a piece of internal organ, cut off a piece with a silver knife, and swallowed it directly.

A surge of energy enveloped the meat, then broke it down.

Immediately afterwards, a system prompt appeared.

Blood magic resistance increased.
