Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 127 The Hole Deep in the Tomb

Having made their plans, the two no longer hesitated and walked out of the office together.

Because now, one of them is the captain of the Special Operations Bureau's Superpower Action Team, and the other is the director of information at the Data Network.

This can be considered the highest level of execution outside of Tan Hui and the research area.

Their plans, naturally, did not require prior notification to anyone.

The message was sent the moment the decision was made.

When the two of them returned to the ground floor via the elevator.

More than a dozen armored vehicles, fully equipped and ready to go, along with their neatly dressed and solemn-faced soldiers, had been waiting for some time.

These are the 24-hour security forces mobilized by the Special Operations Bureau after the military expansion.

Three waves of soldiers were rotated in succession to ensure that there were always enough reaction forces online.

In front of these dozen or so armored guard vehicles was a larger and more technologically advanced troop carrier.

The eight wheels arranged side by side also prove that this vehicle is different.

As the two approached, they were seen on the high-tech troop carrier leading the way.

Another officer, wearing a full-face bulletproof mask, stepped out of the door.

He walked towards the two men, then stood at attention and saluted.

"I have met Master Qingfeng and Lecturer Yang Ping."

The two, who were already very familiar with this scene, didn't say much and simply nodded in response.

Then, Li Qingfeng asked:

How is the team's preparation?

Meanwhile, the sergeant on this side also stood tall and said loudly:
"The 24/7 mobile security team comprises ten squads, totaling 876 personnel, and all 876 personnel are present!"

"The special combat squad, a superpowered armed team, consists of two squads, totaling 40 people, and all 40 are present!"

"Report: The entire team is fully equipped and ready to depart at any time!"

Listening to the report from the sergeant from the legendary supernatural armed force, Li Qingfeng nodded.

Turning to look at the high-tech troop carriers filled with fully armed soldiers, one can't help but admire the government's execution capabilities.

I remember the research report was sent back to headquarters from the Fog Hill Special Operations Bureau in less than two months.

However, nowadays, there are already mature and combat-ready super-armed squads that have emerged.

Looking at these soldiers with full-face helmets and armor that's like a carapace, I can't help but feel a sense of admiration.

The main body of these armors consists of textiles that look like some kind of composite material, along with pieces of protective plates.

The panel is a dark gray with a hint of green.

According to Yang Ping's previous statement, these protective panels were all mixed with the skin material of the green-haired corpse.

It is said that, according to laboratory tests, the green-haired corpse's skin has extremely strong resistance.

Furthermore, it can weaken the power of attacks that penetrate its skin.

Wearing this type of individual armor can even allow some trained ordinary soldiers to withstand one or two attacks from demons head-on.

This may not sound like much, but it's important to remember that this was before these ordinary armed forces appeared.

Even the weakest ghosts and demons can cause death or serious injury to mortals if they are injured or touched.

After a brief moment of reflection, Li Qingfeng decided not to delay any longer.

They headed straight for the command vehicle that had been reserved for the two of them.

At the command of the sergeant in charge of relaying the message, all the cars roared and crashed through the drizzle.

We drove towards the Tomb of One Hundred Kings, located in the Lijiang Development Zone on the outskirts of the city—now the Lijiang Military Zone defense area.

Although various supernatural beings or demons have appeared all over the country.

But for some reason, the government still issued a confidentiality agreement.

Nowadays, all sorts of misleading news are flying around on the internet.

Therefore, most ordinary people who have not witnessed it firsthand still hold a skeptical attitude towards the claim of a spiritual revival.

Many people even thought it was just some leaked clips from a movie.

Those who actually witnessed it were all approached by government officials and made to sign confidentiality agreements.

This also prevented the city of the Hundred Kings Tomb, located in the S-level danger zone, from becoming deserted.

However, Li Qingfeng scoffed at these measures.

In the name of stabilizing people's livelihoods and the economy, the entire city's population is placed in potential danger.

In his view, this was tantamount to letting these people wait to die.

Even with increased troop deployments and financial investment, it's still possible to station powerful individuals like myself.

However, these are merely rescue or remedial measures, far less effective than directly evacuating the city's population.

However, although Li Qingfeng's official position is not low now, he still has no say in decisions at this level.

All they can do is try their best to improve their cultivation and kill more evil spirits to reduce possible casualties.

The car drove on.

after an hour.

The sun was already hanging in the mountains, and the convoy drove into the Lijiang Development Zone, which now has solid cement roads and various warning towers, facing the setting sun.

All kinds of lighting and searchlights were turned on to illuminate the entire defensive line.

Inside the defensive line disguised as a military zone, the area was also brightly lit.

Although the sun has not yet completely set, the entire Baiwang Tomb area is a man-made sinkhole, and the lighting is already somewhat poor.

Right now, inside the walls built with various cement structures.

Behind them, the sturdy, multi-layered metal door slowly closed.

The soldiers who had already disembarked, along with Yang Ping, Li Qingfeng, and others, could now see the conspicuous, dark entrance to the tomb at the very bottom of the sinkhole.

Around it, you can still see some scattered cement blocks and iron plates, all of which have been twisted, deformed and torn apart.

These were also the result of previous attempts to seal the tomb entrance with other materials.

After taking a deep look at the bottom of the pit, Li Qingfeng took the lead and stepped out, leaping down into the pit with a few quick leaps.

Upon seeing this, Yang Ping raised an eyebrow, pulled out two long yellow talismans from his sleeve, and instantly stuck them on his legs.

Then, with a flash of the talisman, his legs transformed into the speed of a galloping horse, and he quickly chased after it.

All that could be seen were the well-trained soldiers behind them and the superpowered armed forces, their eyes filled with envy.

But now, even when carrying out missions, they dare not whisper to each other.

According to the pre-agreed divisions, we began to ascend the various guard towers and some high points.

He took out the night vision sights specifically designed for this operation and set up his weapon.

As for the 40 superpowered armed forces, they followed the two down to the bottom of the pit, but they did not go any deeper.

Although they possess supernatural weapons that provide some resistance against demons, casualties are still inevitable, and the aid is not significant.

Li Qingfeng gestured for them to stand guard around the tomb. If the two were outmatched or something unexpected happened, they could quickly rush out of the tomb.

Then, a 40-person superhuman armed squad and a force of nearly a thousand people located at the top of the sinkhole will provide fire support.

The entire operation, though it sounds slow, actually only took a minute or two.

Li Qingfeng and Yang Ping were once again standing on the dark staircase leading to an unknown depth in the tomb.

Although this wasn't Yang Ping's second time here, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion every time he came and saw this scene.

Back when I was just an ordinary person, I was able to escape thanks to the protection of the old and frail Master Xiong.

Now, Yang Ping is confident that with his current cultivation level, he can handle the situation from back then again.

While I can't say I can single-handedly withstand all the Yin Corpses like Master Xiong, I can certainly escape gracefully.

Compared to his sentimentality, once Li Qingfeng got into the zone, he stopped thinking about anything else.

Instead, his eyes were cold as he drew the righteous sword from his back, which had lost its scabbard.

The wooden blade, gleaming with a cold light, pointed straight at the bottom of the pit, and with a swift movement, he darted inside.

Noticing their actions, Yang Ping stopped thinking and, taking advantage of the fact that the Swiftness Talisman on his leg hadn't expired yet, transformed into a blur and followed them.

Upon entering the underground, no corpses were found, only some broken cement blocks and steel plates remaining on the ground.

When the two of them stood again in that long passageway.

With the help of the flashlights they brought in, they spotted two corpses wandering not far away.

Before Yang Ping could react, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flash past him out of the corner of his eye.

Then came two sword lights, and the two Yin Corpses were beheaded one by one by Li Qingfeng, whose cultivation had greatly improved.

Even the Yin Corpse, known for its agility, didn't react before it died. This left Yang Ping, who had just pulled out two yellow talismans, speechless with astonishment, marveling at the terrifying physical abilities of his fellow Daoist, Li.

I'm afraid that unless you cover yourself with Vajra Talismans and Divine Speed ​​Talismans, you can only achieve this much.

Then, without any hesitation, the two worked together to clear away the hairy corpses and yin corpses along the way.

However, as they went deeper, their pace was gradually slowed down.

Not only has the density of zombies increased, from groups of three or five to clusters of ten or more, but multiple black-haired zombies have also appeared among them.

These black-haired corpses had become much harder.

Even if they are set on fire by a talisman or pierced by Li Qingfeng's wooden sword, they will not die immediately.

Although it was troublesome and took some effort, it did not put any pressure on the two who now had profound cultivation levels.

Neither of them used their full strength, instead conserving their energy and skills as much as possible.

They gradually approached the tomb chamber that Yang Ping had entered at the beginning.

After the last black corpse was decapitated by Li Qingfeng's three consecutive sword strikes to the neck, a light as bright as day appeared before their eyes.

As the two stepped inside, they saw the familiar scene.

The central pool of water used for burial in the tomb, and the eternal lamps that illuminate the entire spherical chamber.

Upon entering the brightly lit room, Yang Ping turned off the lighting equipment on his shoulder.

Looking at this scene that is so familiar, I am quite moved.

Looking at the walls covered with ever-burning lamps.

Now, Yang Ping thinks that it wasn't entirely Jiang Shengping's fault that the Yin Corpse was activated when he took away an ever-burning lamp.

The more likely reason is that the presence of many people activated the corpse due to the yang energy carried by the living.

Surprisingly, the place was unusually clean, with not a single zombie in sight.

However, Yang Ping, who was looking around, soon noticed something different.

There, opposite the entrance to the passageway where the two had just entered, in a corner where there had been a flat stone wall, was a small shadow.

This made Yang Ping frown, and he cautiously took out a Vajra Talisman and stuck it on his chest.

Then he carefully walked to the shadows.

But when they got closer, they discovered that the shadow was actually a neatly shaped hole about the height of a person.

The cave entrance was pitch black, and the interior was completely obscured.

Even after he turned on the shoulder light again.

We could only vaguely see that there seemed to be some stone platforms, and we couldn't see any more.

The more Yang Ping looked, the more uneasy he felt, and in the end, he still didn't have the courage to step inside.

Instead, he turned and called to his teammates who were looking around.

"Fellow Daoist Li, come quickly and see! When did a hole appear here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng, who was a few steps away, also hurried over.

Looking at Yang Ping, who was staring intently at the cave entrance, she was somewhat puzzled.

"This cave entrance has always been there. Wasn't it like this when you came before?"

Hearing Li Qingfeng's question from behind, Yang Ping, who was still using a flashlight to observe the interior, was also taken aback.

Then, as if realizing something, his expression changed rapidly, finally settling into a solemn look.

"No! When I came in with my master and the expedition team, this place was flat and there were no holes..."

At this moment, Yang Ping realized that it had been ten days since he last came here.

Li Qingfeng initially patrolled the outer perimeter. His first exploration deep into the tomb was due to the sudden emergence of Yin Corpses.

I'm afraid that by then, the hole in front of me will have already appeared.

Considering the recent changes and the obviously abnormal gap in front of him, a sense of foreboding filled his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I sense something's wrong. Let's quickly seal off this area and go back to gather the rest of us for a discussion..."

"I suspect that someone is secretly plotting against Wushan..."

At this moment, Li Qingfeng, who had been waiting on the side, also noticed the change in the other party's tone.

Although I didn't quite understand it, I didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he took the talisman handed to him and quickly stuck it around the hole.

After the entire circle was pasted up, Yang Ping took out a small flag made according to the manual and inserted it in the very center.

The next moment, a faint yellow light connected the entire small array, subtly sealing the dark hole.

"All done, let's go. I'm afraid we'll be busy today."

A few minutes later.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the deep passageway.

At this moment, it is located in a corner of the spherical hall.

Behind a lamp that burns eternally.

Amidst the sparse activity, a large, round, and bloated worm, about the length of a forearm, crawled out.

The insect's tiny, dark eyes were looking in the direction the two had left.

After noticing their disappearance, it gradually rose and expanded amidst a twisting motion.

Finally, in this tomb chamber, a tall figure dressed in a black robe, with what appeared to be a large worm crawling on his face, appeared.

The worm at its mouth moved sparsely for a while, and then a piercing sound like fingernails scraping glass came out.

"It's a pity they didn't manage to get in."

As he spoke, the strange man seemed to move in place, and amidst the sound of tiny creatures crawling, he disappeared without a trace and arrived in front of the newly set-up formation.

"What kind of formation is this? Interesting, very interesting..."

"This world is getting more and more interesting, so what would happen if we did this?"

He spoke in a tone that suggested he was appreciating something interesting.

The man in black robes extended a claw covered in armor from the layers of cloth robes and gently pulled out the small flag at the center of the formation.

And it seems that because this main structure is missing, the formation that was just shimmering with a pale yellow light has disappeared.

Like a toy that had lost power, it flickered twice and then dimmed.

"Hehe~ How could I let you cheat so easily~"

After saying this, the man in black casually tossed the small flag he had pulled out aside.

The figure then rapidly shrank and shrank amidst a chillingly sparse display.

Finally, it shrank back to the size of an insect and disappeared into the shadows.

And at this time, on the ground.

Both Li Qingfeng and Yang Ping, who had already emerged from the tomb, had solemn expressions.

The soldiers who were responsible for providing support saw that the two had come out safely and were not flustered, and they also slightly lowered the muzzle of their guns.

"Soldier, inform the person in charge of the defense zone and tell him to bring the materials that were used to seal the hole as quickly as possible and seal it again."

Almost as soon as he came out, before the soldiers who came to greet him could even stand still, Li Qingfeng issued an order in a cold and serious tone.

This somewhat unexpected order startled the soldier, who asked uncertainly:
"But Master Qingfeng, the previous blockade didn't have any effect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Ping, who also had a solemn expression, waved his hand to interrupt him.

"The effect isn't strong, though. This time, we've had the engineering team increase the thickness and dosage. What we need to do now isn't to completely seal it off, but to buy as much time as possible..."

"...Go do it now."

Yang Ping, who was always gentle and kind, rarely spoke in such a commanding tone.

This made the sergeant from the supernatural armed forces, who had met him a few times, realize the seriousness of the matter.

He didn't say anything more, but simply gave a solemn salute.

"Yes, received!"

He then turned and ran to the simple building that was being constructed to provide sleeping quarters and storage for supplies for the soldiers on the front line.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng and Yang Ping, who were still standing by the pit, remained silent.

Li Qingfeng raised his head slightly and looked towards the east of the city, where a dark cloud, seemingly about to crush everything, was slowly rolling in.

Thinking of the typhoon forecast, Li Qingfeng recalled the saying in ancient books, "When a great evil is about to emerge, the world will change color."

Is this really true?
Otherwise, why would there be several days of typhoons and showers blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean as soon as there was unusual activity at the Tomb of a Hundred Kings?

He secretly noted that this kind of metaphysics and divination was his weakness, and planned to go back to the mountain in a few days to ask his master for some more advice.
