Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 126 Strange Events at the Tomb of a Hundred Kings

As the bulletproof jeep slowly started, it arrived at the newly built vehicle elevator in the warehouse.

The cargo box gradually sank, and the view inside the vehicle was obscured by concrete and some indicator lights.

After sinking about ten meters, it finally stopped in an underground parking area that was not yet fully completed, accompanied by a series of prompts.

Through the car door, you can see helicopters, armored vehicles, and even some small tanks parked outside, illuminated by some faint emergency lights.

This is also the result of Tan Hui's tireless efforts in building the Special Operations Bureau's Special Abilities Team after receiving support and funding from his superiors.

Not only here, Li Qingfeng had even heard Yang Ping say that missile silos had already begun to be dug in the underground space next to his training area.

Yang Ping did submit a report.

It is said that many demons are either ethereal and untouchable, or they have great resistance to firearms attacks that do not contain magic.

But Tan Hui's answer was:

"Oh dear, if we don't allocate funds, there's nowhere else to use them, right? I've read Academician Chen's research reports. I know that these guns and firearms aren't very effective, but they can at least provide some assistance."

According to him, the headquarters of the Beijing-based artillery circle has even begun to consider setting up artillery positions on some high points in the city.

Although I feel that I, as the bureau chief, am abusing public funds and wasting money.

However, the compensation and wages for the staff within the bureau did not decrease, but instead increased significantly, so Li Qingfeng didn't say anything.

Let him be.

Moreover, the number of demons is increasing, and the strength of cultivators varies greatly and their numbers are small.

Having some heavy firepower would be good for organizational support; it might come in handy someday.

When the vehicle is parked, the garage door opens automatically.

Holding an umbrella, Li Qingfeng walked quickly to a house with a sign that read "Director's Office" and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock-"

As soon as the knocking sounded, Yang Ping's distinctive voice came from inside the house.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

As the door creaked open, Yang Ping, who was sitting behind his desk inside, looked up from the documents in his hand.

He paused for a moment after realizing that the person who came was Li Qingfeng, and said with a rather surprised expression.

"Fellow Daoist Li, what brings you here? Shouldn't you still be resting at this hour?"

Li Qingfeng didn't explain much to his question. He walked to the sofa and sat down before speaking.

"I came early because there was nothing else going on."

At this moment, Yang Ping also got up from behind his desk, walked around, and sat down on the sofa with him.

Looking at the boy beside her, she seemed to notice something in his expression.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you didn't come here just to chat, did you? Judging from your expression, has something happened at the Tomb of Hundred Kings?"

Since he had already guessed it, Li Qingfeng didn't explain further, but simply nodded with a serious expression.

"The Tomb of a Hundred Kings, for some reason, has remained stagnant for a long time since its first outbreak."

"But starting seven days ago, small groups of Yin corpses and hairy corpses began to emerge."

"Just last night when I was on patrol, a black-haired corpse ran out, but I beheaded it with two sword strikes."

"But zombies with this level of cultivation are already difficult for some patrol teams with limited personnel to deal with."

And to hear this rare occurrence, his fellow Daoist Li spoke so much at once.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Yang Ping abandoned his playful attitude and began to analyze it seriously.

"According to the notes left by my master, zombies are evil creatures that do not stiffen after death and are driven by yin energy and resentment."

"As the amount of yin and evil energy absorbed during pregnancy increases, hard nails and fangs will begin to grow."

"At first, only fine white hairs grew, like fine hairs, making it either a hairy corpse or a white-haired corpse."

"Among the materials sent to me before, there were quite a few that were similar to ordinary corpses, or even worse."

"After that, his hair turned black all over, and he became a black-haired corpse. His body became stiff and inflexible, but his hard and stiff body was indeed a great threat to soldiers carrying ordinary firearms."

Thinking this way, Yang Ping never expected that the Hundred Kings Tomb, which had been relatively peaceful and undisturbed, would be in such a mess.

Even though a small number of Yin Corpses and Hairy Corpses have appeared in recent days, he has not paid much attention to them.

Even now, among the evil creatures appearing everywhere, both are considered relatively weak.

They would quickly dry out and die under the sun, and although firearms could not cause fatal injuries.

However, the force of an explosion and its impact can knock it back, send it flying, or even tear it apart.

The heavily fortified military base surrounding the Tomb of a Hundred Kings posed absolutely no threat.

But today a black-haired corpse appeared.

These zombies have developed a tough body, making it difficult for small-caliber guns to quickly tear them apart or repel them.

If dozens of them gather, they can still pose a threat to some of the outer guards.

However, it is clear that this level is not enough to cause Yang Ping and Li Qingfeng, both of whom are considered top figures in the world of supernatural beings, any worry.

It's not about the black-haired corpse, but about the terrible consequences behind this escalating series of events.

During the initial outbreak of the zombie horde, there were a dozen or so green-haired zombies that appeared, only one level stronger than the black-haired zombies.

Although it was only a few heads, they were enough to keep the heavily armed defenses busy.

If things continue at this rate, it's only a matter of time before green-haired zombies, or even more advanced zombies, emerge. No one knows just how many powerful zombies slumber in that enormous underground tomb.

Having figured this out, Yang Ping adopted a serious tone and expression as he looked at Li Qingfeng, who was sitting silently.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you worried about what might happen in the Hundred Kings Tomb later?"

"Yes."

Li Qingfeng's gaze was solemn, and his tone revealed his worry as he spoke.

"I have a bad feeling that the Tomb of a Hundred Kings is probably more dangerous than we think."

Yang Ping agreed with this statement. After thinking about it, he realized that apart from the zombies with varying levels of cultivation, there seemed to be no other monsters in the Tomb of the Hundred Kings.

"Is Fellow Daoist Li worried that a fully-cultivated zombie might escape from the tomb? A purple-haired zombie... or perhaps a red-haired zombie?"

Upon hearing the question, Li Qingfeng first nodded, then shook his head.

"Not entirely. If such a powerful zombie really appeared, we probably wouldn't be able to defeat it now."

"Fellow Daoist Yang, what is your current cultivation level? How do you think you have a chance of winning against a green-haired corpse or a purple-haired corpse?"

Upon hearing this question, Yang Ping lowered his head and began to think carefully and make comparisons in his mind. After a long while, he finally uttered a weak voice.

"I am currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but unlike you, my offensive techniques and physical body are too weak."

"But if we prepare enough formations and talismans in advance, I believe that dealing with more than ten green-haired corpses will not be a problem. But if it is a purple-haired corpse, we will have no choice but to fight to the death."

Hearing the other party's rather disheartened but true words, Li Qingfeng made no comment, but simply nodded.

"I am currently at the ninth level of Qi Refining. A few days ago, Director Tan found a rare and precious herb that allowed me to break through two minor realms."

"Originally, I planned to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before the upheaval in the Hundred Kings Tomb. At that time, I was confident that I could use magical artifacts to kill the purple-haired corpse."

"But now, it's too late."

"Judging from the current development in the defensive zone, the mortal defense line will probably begin to collapse within five days."

"I have come here today to invite you to go deep into the outer perimeter of the tomb, eliminate the zombie horde that is showing signs of gathering, nip the impact in the bud, and then try to set up formations and blockades."

To Yang Ping, these arrangements were the only feasible solution at present.

However, there were still some concerns and drawbacks that made him frown and speak up to remind them.

"Even if we can rely on our combined cultivation levels to go deeper in advance and eliminate the zombies blocking the tomb passage in stages, the zombies are endless, extremely strong, and relentless day and night."

"The various composite materials or iron plate welded blockades that the bureau used before were all breached within a day."

"I feel that even if we brought over a solid steel plate, it might not be enough to suppress them."

"After all, even if the original giant tombstone was made of an indestructible magical artifact, it couldn't stop them for long."

“The formation of seals and the use of objects to block them are only temporary measures and cannot last long.”

Li Qingfeng naturally understood what he was saying, but there weren't many options available for them to choose from at the moment.

Although the human race is still dominant, mortals are ultimately inferior to all kinds of demons and ghosts.

Currently, the extraordinary cultivators in the Kingdom of Xin are still acting independently and constantly arguing with each other.

Those who were willing to serve their country, or who joined the Special Operations Bureau because they were weak, were still too weak.

Moreover, Tan Hui is the only branch stationed in Wushi right now.

Even though the existence of the Hundred Kings Tomb, which is confirmed to be an S-level dangerous site, has resulted in some bias and favoritism in the allocation of resources, it cannot be said that the entire Special Operations Bureau's power has been gathered.

"Right now, all we can do is try to suppress it for the time being, and what we lack most right now is time."

"Our actions today can at least buy us a few days' time, during which we can think of other solutions."

"I also want to go back to the mountain to find my master, firstly to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and secondly to try to persuade him to come out of the mountain."

Hearing Li Qingfeng say this, Yang Ping could only nod and sigh.

However, upon hearing the other party's last sentence, his eyes lit up a bit.

Over the course of our time together, through conversations, my fellow Daoist Li has repeatedly mentioned his master's terrifying cultivation level and unpredictable methods.

Although out of taboo, no one dared to inquire about any news.

But regardless of the technique Li Qingfeng practiced, it was clearly much stronger than those of others.

Both his own extraordinary strength and his own abilities indirectly prove the power of his master.

If we can really get the other party's master to come down the mountain and help, then the Hundred Kings Tomb might actually be able to suppress it.

Even if we can't ultimately persuade such a reclusive master, it would be good to be able to bring over one or two powerful magical artifacts to suppress the evil spirits.

According to what Fellow Daoist Li said, he was that master's only disciple, so he must have been very favored.

Having thought this through, Yang Ping's initial tension over the increasingly dangerous Hundred Kings Tomb eased somewhat.

No one has brought up the matter of asking him to return to the mountain, partly out of fear that Li Qingfeng would feel embarrassed.

Furthermore, since the situation wasn't urgent, no one mentioned it.

Now that the other party wants to go back, that's naturally even better.

With Li Qingfeng's sense of responsibility, and having lived with friends for so long, he wasn't worried about them abandoning him.

However, pushing everything onto others is not Yang Ping's style.

Yang Ping was also making preparations in secret regarding the Hundred Kings Tomb, a major concern for him.

However, it's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
