Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1098, God-like Radiance
Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Heng.

It is said that he is Qi Hancai's child, but the closer you look, the more familiar he seems.

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Qi Hancai's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and introduced in a clear voice, "This is the leader of our Yama Palace, Mr. Wu Heng. You've all seen him before, so how could you not recognize him?"

After a brief pause, he continued, "The leader's current state is a special supernatural effect that allows the body to return to a younger age. In our language, it's called 'rejuvenation'."

Rejuvenation!
The pupils of all the representatives present suddenly contracted.

Can supernatural powers restore youth? This Pope of the Lingqi Cult is truly becoming more and more like a god.

The looks they gave Wu Heng became even more complicated.

Wu Heng waved his hand at the right moment and said calmly, "Don't talk about these insignificant things."

After saying that, he sat down beside me, and with a seemingly casual flick of his finger, a teapot on the table accurately filled the cup in front of him with tea.

Wu Heng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and got straight to the point. "Let's talk about what's happening in Antarctica. I heard it could trigger a second global viral outbreak?"

Everyone's eyes were all turned to the representative of the EU's 'Noah's City'.

The representative coughed lightly, gathered his thoughts, and spoke, "Chief Wu Heng, the thing is, several previous Dawn Alliance meetings have decided to investigate the root cause of the apocalypse. We in Noah's City have been taking the lead in the investigation and have invested heavily...!"

Wu Heng interrupted him directly, "Let's get to the point! Every minute we waste now may increase the risk of an outbreak."

A representative from the Chang'an Dome base chimed in, "Just talk about the discovery of the South Pole and skip the irrelevant details."

The representative of Noah's City's face froze, and he had no choice but to walk to the large screen on the side and insert an encrypted USB drive.

The screen lights up and begins playing a series of high-resolution photos.

And every photo has the same content.

A regular polyhedron that is completely black and seems to absorb all light.

"This is the last image data we received from the Antarctic 'Lighthouse Station'."

The Noah representative pointed at the screen, his tone becoming serious. "This is... a perfect dodecahedron! The surface is absolutely smooth, reflecting no light of any known wavelength, and is indestructible. Experimenters have tried all known physical drilling and cutting methods, but have been unable to leave even a scratch on its surface."

Wu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and something in his heart moved.

This description does sound like some kind of 'strange thing' that is beyond comprehension.

Noah's representative continued, "According to limited records, after all physical methods failed, the researchers at the time used a new type of high-frequency resonance scanning technology to try to analyze its internal structure.

However, something unexpected happened... The scanning wave frequency seemed to have produced an unknown resonance with some structure within it, instantly destroying its stability... thus triggering this disaster that swept the world."

Having said this, he paused, and the conference room fell into silence. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Wu Heng, waiting for his decision.

Wu Heng already understood.

The dodecahedron was a container, and a reckless exploration accidentally opened Pandora's box and released its contents.

"What's inside the container?"

"I don't know." Representative Noah shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face. "What I'm talking about is the last information sent back by the 'Lighthouse Station' before that thing was destroyed. After that... no one on the station survived. All electronic equipment was damaged by the intense interference. We lost all signals."

"Tell me about your follow-up investigation." Wu Heng asked.

"We've dispatched three of our most elite teams, equipped with the most advanced equipment, to the Antarctic research station in an attempt to recover or at least confirm the object's condition." The representative's tone grew graver, "but none of them were successful."

"We used every possible protective measure, including the antiviral serum produced by Yama Palace, but it was all ineffective! Any living creature that comes within a certain range will undergo a zombie-like transformation in a very short period of time, without exception."

After a brief pause, he tried to save face. "We originally hoped to resolve this problem on our own and contribute to humanity, but... our capabilities are truly limited. Therefore, we have no choice but to convene this emergency meeting to jointly discuss countermeasures."

At this time, the representative of the Russian base said in a gruff voice, "Living people can't get in, and the machines malfunction if they do. You in the EU can't do anything, and I don't think the other bases have any better solutions either."

"There might be a way..." Representative Noah turned his gaze to Wu Heng again, finally stating his ultimate goal. "This is why we insist on waiting for Chief Wu Heng to arrive. We've tried all conventional methods, but there's one possibility we haven't verified: the 'skeleton soldiers.' They're supernatural creations, not living things. Theoretically, there's no risk of 'infection' or 'degeneration.' Perhaps... they can enter that death zone."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood.

It turned out to be waiting here!

Electronic equipment failed, life forms were transformed, and the only hope seemed to be the half-dead skeleton.

Qi Hancai spoke calmly, "This matter concerns the fate of all survivors worldwide. We at Yama Palace will naturally not stand idly by, but placing all the hope and pressure on us is perhaps a bit too unfair."

"That's not the case," the New Eden Base representative immediately retorted. "Chief Wu Heng is the recognized leader of mankind and the Pope of the Lingqi Cult. For the survival of all mankind, it's only natural that he should shoulder more responsibility. It's not that we don't want to contribute, it's simply beyond our ability!"

"Yes, those who are capable should do more work!"

"We will provide all possible support from the rear!"

Other representatives echoed this, praising Wu Heng and cleverly pushing away the difficult problem.

Wu Heng raised his head and scanned every face present. "Yanluo Palace will take over and handle this matter in Antarctica."

Without waiting for the others to show any joy, Wu Heng continued, "If successful, this item must be handled entirely by our Yama Palace. If any personnel support is needed later, you must fully cooperate."

Everyone frowned.

While they were still weighing the pros and cons, the Middle East representative immediately stated, "As long as the threat of a second infection can be eliminated, all of our bases are willing to fully obey Chief Wu Heng's dispatch and command on this matter!"

"Alright." Wu Heng stood up immediately, not waiting for the others' reaction. "Then everyone, go down and prepare. We'll set off before dusk. As for whether the skeleton can be successful, we'll need to arrive at the scene to verify it."

No one expected Wu Heng to be so decisive, but this was undoubtedly the best news at the moment.

Representative Noah said hurriedly: "I will immediately contact the remaining personnel outside Antarctica and ask them to prepare for the reception!"

"Okay. We'll discuss the specific details after we arrive." Wu Heng nodded, said no more, and walked out of the meeting room first.

Qi Hancai immediately followed suit, and a group of representatives also stood up and left. They felt mixed emotions, including relief at having been relieved of a heavy burden, but also nervousness about the unknown action.

If this fails and it breaks out again, they might be the ones to die.

I can only hope that I can succeed.

……

In Qi Hancai's office.

Wu Heng took the coffee from Qi Hancai, who couldn't help but chuckle, "The EU is quite concerned about their reputation. They said they wanted to make their own contribution to humanity. I almost couldn't help myself."

"It's just polite talk, normal." Wu Heng took a sip of coffee.

Qi Hancai suddenly blinked and jokingly said, "Can children drink coffee?"

Wu Heng glared at her unhappily: "You need to be punished again, don't you?"

Qi Hancai deliberately turned around, and Wu Heng smiled and patted her on the buttocks.

Then, Qi Hancai asked seriously, "What do you think that thing is?"

"It's not clear yet, but it's definitely not simple. I have to go and see it myself." Wu Heng replied.

When Qi Hancai heard this, a trace of worry flashed across her face. It was the first time she heard Wu Heng's tone so uncertain.

"Don't worry, I'm sure." Wu Heng added with a smile.

Qi Hancai sighed softly: "This world is really becoming more and more magical...Now I believe it when people say there were immortals who cultivated immortality in ancient times."

"Why do you think so?"

"The dodecahedron in that photo is buried so deep under the ice that even modern technology can't create it. It must be a product of ancient times. Isn't that magical enough?"

"It might be even stranger than you think." Wu Heng put down his coffee and reminded her, "You need to continue to strengthen your training before you are qualified to understand this."

"Training? Like the pair of elf sisters on the forum? Can they fight the Corpse King in close combat?" Qi Hancai's eyes lit up.

"Yes, you can do it as long as you are willing to work hard."

Qi Hancai curled her lips and said, "Who would use cold weapons if they have guns? It's so dangerous!"

The way of thinking of modern people and those in other worlds is indeed different.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "If you practice well, you can live to be three hundred years old, and become younger and more beautiful."

"Really?!" Qi Hancai leaned closer instantly, looking serious.

"When have I ever lied to you? If you don't work hard, you'll be an old woman while we're still young."

Thinking of that scene, Qi Hancai's face suddenly became serious.

She is older than Wu Heng and Li Yahong, and this is what she fears most.

"I will practice hard!" she promised solemnly.

At this moment, the office phone rang. Qi Hancai answered and said, "The plane to Xinfu City has arrived."

"Let's go," Wu Heng put down his coffee cup, "I've called someone to help, let's go pick them up together."

……

As an important global trading center.

People from bases of all sizes around the world gather here.

At this moment, one side of the airport was surrounded by a dense crowd of people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures in the middle of the runway. They were tall and agile, with pointed ears and faces that did not look like humans.

"It's the two female warriors in the forum video!"

"Oh my god, those ears are really pointed! Could they really be elves?"

"I heard it's a physical mutation type of ability, and the appearance has evolved to be like an elf."

"Is this true? Can two people awaken at the same time?"

Exclamations and discussions were heard one after another, and many people raised their mobile phones to take pictures of this side.

A few people couldn't contain their curiosity and tried to approach and strike up a conversation. However, when the two sisters looked at them with cold eyes, they were frightened and retreated back into the crowd.

Just as the crowd was growing larger and larger and almost out of control, the sound of bones rubbing against each other came from the periphery.

A team of tall, white skeleton warriors quickly separated the crowd, followed closely by base security personnel, and finally cleared a passage.

Not far away, Wu Heng stood there, waving towards the field: "Eluriah, Sylvain! This way."

The two sisters looked over at the sound, smiles instantly appearing on their faces. They quickly walked through the crowd and saluted respectfully: "Sir!"

"Let's go, take a rest first, and then go on a long journey with me." Wu Heng said.

"Yes, sir!" the two sisters responded in unison, with a respectful look.

This scene caused the surrounding crowd to explode again.

"Who is that child? The Goddess of War is actually so respectful to him!"

"Could he be the son of the Wuheng leader?"

"Maybe he's another hidden superhuman!"

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Wu Heng left the airport with the Wood Elf sisters and returned to his office for a short rest.

As dusk approached, Qi Hancai had the necessary supplies prepared for the trip.

Wu Heng, along with Eluria and Sylvain, boarded the plane and soared into the sky.

……

The plane flew smoothly through the stratosphere, and outside the window was a dazzling starry sky. In the post-apocalyptic world, the natural environment was getting better and better, and the night sky seemed even brighter than before.

Wu Heng chatted with the Wood Elf sisters for a while about the latest developments at the prison base.

Under Sanera's management, everything was in good order. Everyone trained and studied every day. Although they missed their relatives in the other world, nothing major happened.

Eluria, however, was more concerned about the previous battle, her tone serious yet curious: "My lord, have the gods... really descended upon Treasure Island?"

“Yeah, right after I brought you guys over.” Wu Heng shrugged. “Then I ended up like this. Luckily I was prepared beforehand, or it would have been really dangerous.”

If he dies, the souls of all those who have entered into slave contracts with him will be afflicted.

"What do gods look like?" Sylvain leaned closer, his emerald eyes filled with awe and curiosity.

They never imagined that the existence of a god would actually descend, and that Wu Heng would force them to take action personally.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, "I can make out a human-shaped outline, but it looks more like a pure light body, and I can't see its specific appearance."

"Like a Light Elemental Knight?" Eluria asked instinctively.

This refers to the Papacy's spell for summoning knights of light.

“No, it’s a kind of… a powerful radiance that’s too dazzling to look at.” Wu Heng shook his head.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised, as the deity's form was completely different from what they had imagined.

Sylvain couldn't help but press, "Then... is he very strong?"

"What do you think?" Wu Heng smiled bitterly. "With just a flick of his finger, I was instantly annihilated."

The two sisters gasped simultaneously, their eyes filled with shock.

“It’s alright,” Wu Heng’s tone became firm again. “When we become gods in the future, we’ll go back and get revenge on him.”

As night deepened, the three of them had a simple dinner of instant noodles and canned food.

After dinner, Wu Heng planned to wash up and rest.

After all, we might be facing unknown 'objects' at the South Pole next, so I need to rest well and don't plan to cultivate anymore.

Besides, the venue is not suitable.

Wu Heng relaxes in the airplane's bathroom.

The warm water enveloped my body, dispelling the fatigue from a day of continuous flights.

Dong Dong~!

Suddenly, a soft knock sounded on the door.

Before he could respond, the bathroom door was gently pushed open.

Sylvain walked in wearing only a white bath towel, her healthy, wheat-colored skin glowing with a delicate sheen in the steamy air.

The towel hem barely covered her upper legs, outlining her full and alluring curves.

Her long green hair was pulled back, revealing her slender neck and rosy pointed ears. Her face was flushed with shyness, but her eyes were bold and expectant.

“My lord, you…you are still small, let me help you wash, in case you slip and fall.” Sylvain said softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Wu Heng looked up, his gaze moving from her long, strong legs upwards to her chest, which was rising and falling slightly with nervousness, and her flushed cheeks.

Sanera had said more than once that she wanted the two sisters to serve her, but she had been too busy to pay much attention before.

Now that the other party has come in like this, we know why she came.

"Come here." Wu Heng nodded.

Sylvie smiled and approached somewhat awkwardly.

She picked up a bath sponge, squeezed out some shower gel, and carefully and gently wiped his back, her movements clumsy but full of sincerity.

Soon, the rising steam soaked her thin bath towel, and the wet fabric clung tightly to her undulating curves, revealing glimpses of her figure.

Although Wu Heng's body has shrunk, his mind remains that of a mature man.

“The towel is wet and uncomfortable to wear, take it off,” Wu Heng said.

Sylvain's cheeks flushed instantly. After hesitating for a moment, she still did as she was told and untied the towel.

A tall, fit, and vibrant wood spirit body is displayed without reservation in the misty water vapor, its skin glowing with a healthy luster, its lines smooth and full of power.

"Stand up and turn around so I can see you," Wu Heng commanded, leaning against the bathtub.

Sylvie stood up as instructed, her hands unconsciously folded in front of her, and she turned around slowly with a touch of shyness, revealing her perfect figure.

"It's beautiful," Wu Heng praised sincerely, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Thank you, sir." Sylvie smiled sweetly, her shyness lessening considerably.

"Come here and continue washing me," Wu Heng beckoned.

Sylvain knelt beside the bathtub, gently pressing her entire body against him, and continued to meticulously wipe him down.

After washing up, Sylvain carefully dried him with a large bath towel, then gently picked him up and carried him to the soft bed in the bedroom.

Lying on the large bed, Wu Heng stroked Sylvie's firm and elastic waist and the back of her neck, feeling the unique delicacy and warmth of the elf's skin.

Sylvain responded enthusiastically, lowering his head and gradually becoming more rapid in his breathing.

"Where is your sister?" Wu Heng suddenly asked, his fingers twirling a strand of her long green hair.

Sylvien paused, looked up, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes. "She's shy outside... Would you like her to come along, sir?"

"Is she willing?" Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Sylvie didn't answer directly. Instead, she glided lightly off the bed, walked to the bedroom door, opened it a crack, and whispered to the outside, "Sis! The master wants you to come in... Don't put on any clothes!"

A faint sound and a suppressed gasp came from outside the door.

A moment later, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Eluria, the older sister, appeared at the door wrapped only in a bath towel. Her figure was more voluptuous and powerful than her sister's, with smooth and beautiful muscle lines. At this moment, she was blushing with embarrassment, and even her pointed earlobes turned pink.

She dared not look Wu Heng in the eye, her head lowered, her voice barely audible: "My lord...!"

“Come here,” Wu Heng beckoned gently, “From now on, we will be an even closer family.”

Eluria took a deep breath, strode in, and carefully lay down on the other side of the bed.

Sylvain chuckled softly and snuggled closer to her again.

Under the dim light, two alluring elven bodies surrounded Wu Heng in the middle.

……

After a long twelve-hour flight.

The plane finally broke through the clouds and landed in a vast, endless, pure white world.

The hatch opened, and a biting, knife-like wind rushed in, whipping up a flurry of ice crystals.

Wu Heng was the first to descend the gangway, followed closely by the wood elf sisters on either side, and twenty tall skeletons silently lined up behind him.

The staff who had been waiting by the runway immediately came forward. They were completely wrapped in thick cold-weather suits, and their voices were somewhat muffled through their masks. "Chief Wu Heng, welcome! Would you like to proceed directly to your destination now, or would you like to rest for a while first?"

"Let's set off now," Wu Heng said directly.

"Understood! These are specially made protective suits. Although the temporary base is some distance from the core area of ​​the 'research station,' please wear them as a precaution." The staff quickly handed over three sets of equipment.

The three quickly changed into bulky protective suits and then boarded a large transport vehicle specifically designed for polar travel.

The vehicle's engine roared as it drove forward.

Outside the car window, the wind whipped up snowflakes, visibility was extremely low, and all that remained between heaven and earth was the howling wind and the boundless white expanse.

The vehicle was still moving forward, but Wu Heng was having trouble discerning which way to go.

The transport vehicle eventually stopped in front of a makeshift base built against the mountainside.

The person in charge pointed out the window in a certain direction, his voice grave, “Go out this way and follow the fluorescent marker poles we’ve set up. About five kilometers away is the main building of the ‘Lighthouse Station.’ Please be… careful.”

Wu Heng nodded: "I need an absolutely quiet room. I'll let you know if I need anything else."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions." The staff member stepped back respectfully.

Wu Heng ordered Eluria and Sylvain to stay in the room.

He lay down on a single bed, took a deep breath, and released [Divine Descent].

In an instant, his consciousness descended upon a skeleton standing silently in the wind and snow.

Switch 'view of view'.

Through the hollow eye sockets of the skull, Wu Heng could see farther and more clearly through the wind and snow.

Sometimes it's more useful to not rely on visual perception.

Once he was certain he could fully control the skeleton, he led the remaining nineteen skeletons, stumbling and trudging towards their target location.

Finally, a building covered in a thick layer of ice came into view.

The entrance was already broken, and the skeleton army silently entered.

The passage was deathly silent. After walking a distance, the roar of zombies rang out, and several zombies, also wearing heavy protective suits, rushed out.

But he was quickly and swiftly killed by the skeleton.

The deeper you go, the heavier the invisible pressure becomes.

Even while controlling a lifeless skeleton, Wu Heng could feel an interference originating from the soul level, with countless subtle whispers trying to penetrate his consciousness.

At this moment, Wu Heng was somewhat worried that even though he was only controlling the skeleton, he might still be affected.

After thinking it over for a moment, I decided to proceed tentatively, and if there was any danger, I would immediately disengage from the skill state.

Finally, the skeleton arrived at the core area of ​​the research station.

The moment I entered this final room!

Wu Heng's divine sense attached to the skeleton suddenly trembled violently, as if it were being impacted and torn apart by an indescribable powerful force!
His vision began to blur and distort, with all sorts of bizarre and fantastical fragments of illusion trying to flood into his senses.

Damn it, what is that?!
Wu Heng tried hard to see the scene in the center of the room clearly.

An object is suspended in mid-air.

It was a 'light body' that could not be accurately described in words, a gray 'light body'.

The light wasn't dazzling, but it carried a special feeling.

This light... he had seen it before!

It's just like the radiance emanating from the Holy See.
