Chapter 1113: Chapter 869, Metal Nerve (One update today) Chapter 1113: Chapter 869, Metal Nerve (One update today) Wu Heng took another look at the man who had walked out; his clothes were dirty, he wore glasses, and his attitude was respectful.
“The base gate is open, so why didn't you guys escape?”
The man's expression was somewhat uneasy, and he spoke in stiff Chinese, “We wouldn't live long even if we escaped; please, Immortal Master, allow me to stay here.”
Wu Heng understood the man's meaning.
Going out meant facing an even more dangerous environment. These people didn't want to leave, preferring to gather here and see his reaction.
“What's your name?” Wu Heng asked.
The man answered, “Valentine Portillo!”
“You speak so many languages?” Wu Heng continued to ask.
“Because of some family reasons, I specifically learned some languages, but I am not proficient,” the man continued to answer.
“You also know to call me 'Immortal Master'?” Wu Heng curiously asked.
The man's attitude became even more respectful, and he carefully said, “I have read some of your country's books, and everything recorded in them turns out to be true.”
He knew quite a lot.
Wu Heng didn't dwell on these matters too much, instead looking at the remaining people below, he said, “Go and tell them anyone who doesn't want to leave can stay, but they must not make any risky moves, or their fate will be the same as those soldiers.”
The man's expression brightened, and he immediately turned around to speak loudly to the people below.
Meanwhile, those kneeling below also showed some joy, whispering in low voices amongst themselves.
Wu Heng continued, “Tell them to return to their living quarters for now. In a couple of days, I will arrange for people to take over this place. Also, a curfew will be implemented at night, meaning no going out. If there are no issues, they can go back now.”
“Yes!” The man immediately responded and once again started to explain to the crowd below.
Initially, they just wanted to stay because it still felt safe inside the base.
Now, there was the additional rule of no exiting at night, but to these people, this was hardly a condition.
Carefully standing up from the ground, they whispered among themselves and left.
“Don't leave yet,” Wu Heng said directly.
The man managed a smile and said, “Immortal Master, do you have any other orders?”
“Follow me for now, and after I'm finished, you can go back.”
“Okay, okay!”
Next, Wu Heng summoned some Necromancer Attendants and headed towards the base gate.
The surrounding walls were over four meters high, with watchtowers and searchlights placed every three to four meters.
The gate was wide open, but the surrounding area seemed to have been cleaned up, with no zombies breaking in.
“Guard this place. Without my orders, do not open the gate,” Wu Heng commanded.
Behind him, there was a sound of bones grinding.
The Skeletons and carrion, summoned out, moved forward, closing the gate, with some climbing the walls to take over the watchtowers and the machine guns.
'Valentine' following at the side, carefully watched the Skeletons and carrion in action.
These were definitely undead soldiers from the Underworld.
Everything they recorded in their books was true.
After arranging positions along the wall, Wu Heng turned and walked back.
Casually, he asked, “Do you know where the laboratory is?”
“I do, I do!” Valentine carefully followed alongside.
“Take me there!”
“Okay, it's this way, a bit of a distance.” Valentine, acting like a guide, started leading the way.
The laboratory was located in a separate area behind the military base.
By now, it was deserted; not a single researcher was seen, and the building looked as though it had been plundered.
It seemed the previous battle made these people realize the danger, and they ran away with their belongings.
He had originally hoped to gather a bunch of scientific researchers, but now it seemed hopeless.
“What do you know about this place?” Wu Heng asked.
Valentine scratched his head, speaking softly, “I heard they were developing Superpowers. We ordinary people didn't get the chance to come into contact with the other stuff.”
Wu Heng walked into the building and looked around.
Some of the equipment was left behind even though the people were gone.
However, unlike the artifacts from the Otherworld, it was hard to guess their purpose without a guide or prompts.
When Qi Hancai arrived later, related personnel could be arranged to inspect the place to see if there was anything of use.
On the second floor, Valentine followed at a distance.
Bella's voice echoed, “Wu Heng, there is a corpse here; you can use Necromancy to ask about the situation.”
“Where?” Wu Heng asked quietly, turning his head.
Bella whispered in his ear, “In the room at the end of the hallway on the first floor.”
Wu Heng turned around and went straight downstairs.
At the end of the corridor on the first floor was a room with the door ajar, resembling an observation room.
On the outside were tables and chairs, papers, and instruments scattered around. In the middle, there was a glass partition, and a body was strapped to a hospital bed on the inside.
“Immortal Master, it's not a zombie, is it?” Valentine stood at the doorway, peering inside.
“Didn't you say this place was researching Superpowers?”
“Who knows if something else got mixed in,” Valentine replied, somewhat uncertain.
Wu Heng paid him no mind and directly entered the inner room.
On the hospital bed lay a brown-skinned woman, her hair shaved off, eyes firmly shut, dressed in a restraining gown, bound to the bed.
From the skin, it wasn't the rotting and pale color of zombies.
Needle marks could be seen on the exposed head and neck area.
It appeared that she had been subjected to some special treatment while alive.
“Immortal Master! She died of poison injection,” Valentine came in, holding a report found from the outside room.
“What does it say?”
“A death report. She showed no signs of life after being injected with barbiturate salts, confirmed dead,” Valentine reported.
