Chapter 62: Taking Over
The crowd watching the screen sighed inwardly.
Just then, a man wearing a work uniform ran in.
He said something beside Li Yangji.
Listening to the man's words, Li Yangji's expression changed again and again.
He looked at the experts present and spoke slowly: "Everyone, today's matter is confidential and must not be leaked. Anyone who leaks it will be treated as guilty of treason."
Li Yangji's expression was stern, and a dignified aura radiated from his body.
The other experts on the scene were solemn.
They naturally knew that the matter before them was of great importance.
After all, this involved the Supernatural, or rather, the mysterious side.
Regarding these things, both the upper echelons and the public had different reactions.
Some considered it nonsense, while others believed it might exist, just that with the current level of technology, it could not yet be truly analyzed.
However, any true member of the upper echelons would likely hope that a sliver of possibility existed, and that they themselves could grasp that sliver.
Did the wisest emperors not also crave longevity?
"There is one more thing; starting tomorrow, the Dahuang Mountain Range will be taken over by the Military.
Of course, they are only responsible for protecting our safety and protecting the ruins of the Dahuang Mountain Range.
We will still be responsible for the research matters.
However, our travel and communications will be subject to some restrictions."
It had not even been ten minutes since they finished watching the video, and the orders from above had already come down.
Moreover, they were accompanied by various measures.
It was evident how much importance the higher-ups attached to this matter.
These experts were astonished, but they understood instantly.
After all, this matter was far too significant.
In the past, it was just a strange archaeological event.
Now, it had turned into a Supernatural event.
Beside them, Jia Xiangjun's expression changed repeatedly, and several times she wanted to speak but stopped herself.
The current development of events had already exceeded her control.
Her gaze fell upon Heize on the screen, and she made a major decision in her heart.
The medicinal effect of the Longevity Pill had already passed, and she only had a few years left to live.
In these last few years, she would live for Heize and help Heize do some things.
"Qin Yi, can you do me a favor?" Jia Xiangjun looked at Qin Yi, her words containing a look of supplication.
"Okay." Qin Yi nodded; she naturally understood what Jia Xiangjun meant.
For so many years, Heize had always been a thorn in Jia Xiangjun's heart.
"Thank you, Qin Yi." A trace of joy appeared on Jia Xiangjun's face.
Jia Xiangjun began to make a phone call.
As the actual person in control of the Justice Association, she had to conduct a negotiation with the Cabinet, which was the Daxia's primary Association.
And Qin Yi, who controlled the power of the Royal Family, stood on her side this time.
It could be said that she and Qin Yi were the two most powerful women in Daxia.
After all, they had not lived all these years in vain.
Moreover, they also possessed some small amount of Supernatural power.
This was just a tiny side effect brought about by the Longevity Pill.
"What's going on? Why is the live stream gone!"
"The officials are anxious, the officials are anxious!"
"I suspect they definitely found something incredible in that cave."
"Isn't Heize's corpse there?"
"Is there a possibility that Heize was buried in the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit and his corpse became a zombie?"
"Have you watched too many zombie movies?"
"Otherwise, why would they suddenly stop the live stream?"
"Right, there must be some secret inside that we commoners aren't qualified to see!"
"Stop arguing, they probably found some precious ore inside and are avoiding letting others know."
"Why don't you say they found a prehistoric civilization?"
The live stream was not reopened, and the comments kept scrolling non-stop.
Lin Chao put down his phone and looked at the sky.
At this moment, he had already arrived at Cangxi City.
"There are quite a few planes in the sky, and it seems military vehicles are driving past as well."
Cangxi City was not far from the border to begin with.
Daxia had a legion stationed right here.
At this moment, many military vehicles were driving toward the Dahuang Mountain Range.
"It seems the Military has already started stationing troops in the Dahuang Mountain Range.
My desire to obtain Heize's corpse has become troublesome."
Lin Chao thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"No rush. Although the Military has sealed off the news, my reputation is still rising.
It won't be that simple for them to get their hands on Heize's corpse.
I had better attend to my own affairs first and wait to see how things develop.
It won't be too late to retrieve Heize's corpse later."
Lin Chao thought about it and decided it would be better to return to Tianhai City first.
"I should head back; it's been a long time since I've seen Mom and Dad."
Lin Chao felt a basic sense of gratitude toward his parents.
Dahuang Mountain Range.
At this moment, not only had people from the Military arrived, but many newly transferred talents had also come.
Among them, Dean Qin Jiawei, who had previously met with Liu Chengchao, was prominently present.
The person in charge of this project had changed to being led by Qin Jiawei.
Liu Chengchao had been following this matter all along, so he became the second person in charge.
At this time, Qin Jiawei was watching the previously saved live broadcast footage.
The more he watched, the more curious he felt.
"I originally thought that discovering the Tailiang King's corpse and discovering the Tailiang Element was already a very bizarre matter.
Now, this Heize is the truly bizarre one.
No, to be more precise, it should be absurd."
"We also felt shocked when we saw this footage.
It's as if the Creator is playing a huge joke on us," Liu Chengchao sighed.
"Who could have imagined that with Dafeng in imminent danger, it would be an unknown hero like Heize who stepped forward to protect the Nine Cauldrons and Slay the Wolf Guard."
"Enough sighing, it's time to talk business." Qin Jiawei spoke, his hand gripping a piece of paper into a cylinder, tapping it lightly against the table.
He had this little habit when he was thinking or speaking.
"We have a few things to do.
First, investigate why Heize was so strong!
Second, why was Heize's body impervious to blades and spears after death?
Third, what exactly is so strange about Heize's God Position Spear?
Fourth, why were we able to see Heize's past?"
Qin Jiawei pointed out the general direction of the work.
Liu Chengchao nodded.
Naturally, Great Xia Country would be immensely concerned about Heize's strength.
This concerns the Supernatural and the establishment of Super Soldiers.
On a small scale, it increases national power; on a large scale, it could lead to the ascension of the entire nation.
"To solve these problems, the first thing we must do is find Heize's corpse," Liu Chengchao offered his opinion, "but... we simply cannot enter.
At that corner, if a person enters, they are immediately knocked away; if a machine enters, as long as it is within five meters of that Gold light, it will malfunction."
Qin Jiawei also frowned; this was indeed a difficult matter.
"Is there any other way?"
"Currently, finding Heize's corpse is a problem that needs to be overcome.
I think that while we work on the problem of Heize's corpse, we can also look into the many legends of Immortals or Mythical legends passed down in our Great Xia Country.
Perhaps there is also some Supernatural existence there that we are unaware of."
"Doesn't Taiqing Mountain, near Zhang Lao's hometown, have legends of Immortals?"
"Right, we can send people to check out all these places with Immortal legends, examine them carefully, and see if there is anything unusual."
