Chapter 1032, Inherited Resistance
Chapter 1032, Inherited Resistance
The next afternoon, the zombie world.
Since early morning, the entire base has been shrouded in a tense and solemn atmosphere.
Wu Heng, Li Yahong and Zhao Yanqiu worked almost non-stop, shuttling between various departments to finalize the final details of the overseas assignment.
In addition to the core priests selected yesterday, there are also logistical personnel and the most critical "skeleton guards".
Each of these skeleton warriors who were upgraded and replaced from the zombies has reached a higher level.
The whole body is equipped with stab-proof clothing, melee iron sword, and firearms.
With a faint blue soul flame in his eyes, he stood silently behind the designated priest.
"These people will be sent to large shelters first." Li Yahong took out her phone, which showed the names of several selected shelters. "As for small gathering places, we will consider sending the second batch after the Dawn Alliance has completed the cleanup."
Wu Heng nodded, "Just make the arrangements."
The scene was almost ready. Zhao Yanqiu walked slowly up to the platform, wearing a gorgeous priest robe that fell to her ankles and holding a thick volume of "The Holy Book of Spiritual Enlightenment" in front of her chest.
His expression was solemn and pious, and his eyes were as sharp as torches.
"Everyone!" Zhao Yanqiu suddenly spoke, her voice cold and ethereal, echoing throughout the entire hall, "You are on this trip with the mission of spreading the oracle..."
The bard's characteristics made her under the open field.
No specific equipment is needed and the sound can be clearly heard by everyone.
Below, all the priests touched their chests and saluted at the same time, responding in unison, "May the glory of God shine upon the world!"
The sound echoed throughout the hall.
Wu Heng stood to one side, and heard a small, low voice in his ear, "Wow, mom acted like this! She's more professional than those old charlatans in the Vatican!"
Wu Heng tilted his head slightly and said, "I think I learned it from the movies."
"Really? The levels are increasing so slowly, but it's quite difficult for them to learn these things." Xiaoxiao said with a disappointed tone.
Wu Heng glanced at Zhao Yanqiu and said, "Stop talking. If someone hears me, I'll scold you again."
"I'm not afraid! I'm invisible, and she's cursing at the air." Xiaoxiao said proudly.
Zhao Yanqiu continued her speech, her tone becoming increasingly passionate. "The plane is ready on the tarmac. You will fly directly to the South Korean base. Deputy Chief Qi Hancai will personally meet you."
He looked around at everyone and said firmly, "Remember, your every word and action represents the glory of Lingqi Church!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, their eyes burning.
After saying that, everyone walked out of the hall and boarded the prepared plane.
As the last priest climbed onto the gangway, the plane's door slowly closed.
On the runway, Wu Heng, Li Yahong and Zhao Yanqiu stood side by side, with some family members who came to see them off standing behind them.
Some people sobbed quietly, while others waved goodbye.
When only a flashing light remained of the plane and it disappeared completely.
Li Yahong retracted her gaze and turned to look at Wu Heng, "Are you going back to the central area with me, or are you going directly back to the prison?"
Wu Heng said, "I'll go back to the prison first. You and Qi Hancai must coordinate the supplies and logistical support for the expatriates."
"Understood." Li Yahong nodded solemnly.
Wu Heng turned to Zhao Yanqiu and said, "I'll leave the church to you. Train more priests and nuns and send them to various places when the time comes."
Zhao Yanqiu smiled slightly, "I will do it well."
Then, Zhao Yanqiu said to the empty air, "Xiaoxiao, be obedient and don't cause trouble for your uncle."
"Mom, I'm not over there." A small voice came from the other side, and then continued, "Don't worry, I will take good care of uncle!"
Wu Heng smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao is already a grown-up girl."
"that is!"
We stood at the door and chatted for a while.
Wu Heng waved goodbye to the two men, then got in the SUV and left.
Li Yahong, Zhao Yanqiu and the people who came with them got on the bus and left the airport.
Four hours later, the vehicle arrived at the prison.
Wu Heng opened the gate and returned to Treasure Island.
……
Treasure Island, the island owner’s mansion.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the hall, dyeing the floor and furniture an amber color.
Xiaoxiao ran down the stairs, shouting along the way, "Sister Minnie, Sister Daye, Sister Xiaoye..."
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he rushed directly into the courtyard.
Then he shouted, "Sister Luo Bei, come and play shuttlecock."
Wu Heng just walked downstairs and looked in the direction of Xiaoxiao. Who was he calling?
As soon as I looked over, I saw the wood elf sisters, Eluriah and Sylvain, walking in one after the other.
Her long dark green hair was tied up, and she wore cool beach shorts and a tight bra. Her exposed skin still had traces of the Black Bird Burning Mark that had not yet faded.
"My lord." The two sisters bowed slightly, their pointed ears gleaming red in the twilight.
She was still a little embarrassed by the attire she was wearing. She hesitated for a bit, but still stood there with confidence.
Wu Heng nodded, "How is the effect of the practice?"
Sister Eluria said: "I can feel the energy tempering my skin. It's magical."
"My Lord!" Sister Sylvain suddenly came closer, her amber eyes brightening dramatically, "Is it really as invulnerable as Shannella said?"
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whose sword it is. If it's an ordinary weapon around level 15, the skin can resist it."
The two sisters widened their eyes.
It really can.
Sylvain said in surprise, "Isn't this just like having an extra layer of armor growing on your body!"
Eluria continued to ask, "My Lord, I heard there is a next stage?"
"This is the first stage. As for the subsequent effects, I am not too sure, but it will definitely become stronger and stronger." Wu Heng answered calmly.
The two sisters held hands, their faces still full of excitement.
"Master~!" Minnie's voice sounded beside her, and she said with a smile, "It's time to eat."
Wu Heng nodded and said to the wood elf sisters, "Eat first, there's no rush to practice slowly."
"Let's go change our clothes and come back." The wood elf sister said, and the two of them went upstairs together.
Wu Heng walked towards the restaurant. Minnie stood at the door and shouted to the courtyard: "Robe, it's time to eat..."
……
On the table.
The wood elf sisters changed into plain casual clothes and took their seats, and everyone began to eat.
"I took them to the casino last night." Shannara looked over here while cutting steak.
"How do you feel?" Wu Heng asked.
The elder sister 'Eluriya' said with some emotion, "It's a magical place..."
Sylvain added, “It’s fun, too.”
"If you like, you can go out and play in your spare time. It's our own business anyway, and we don't need to spend any money." Wu Heng said casually.
"Really? Thank you, sir." Sylvain said happily.
A few people chatted for a while.
Shannella continued, "Brittany called this morning to remind us that we have to leave, otherwise we will miss the Week of Courage."
"We'll set off tomorrow." Wu Heng nodded, and then looked at Philippa not far away, "Philippa, tell your mother tonight that we'll set off tomorrow."
"Okay!" Philippa thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to bring some gifts for Brittany?"
Wu Heng said, "I'll let Minnie prepare it."
"That's fine. I don't really have anything she likes." Philippa agreed naturally.
Had dinner.
After resting in the living room for a while, the women walked towards the training room tacitly.
Even though Viola became a hero, she still insisted on training every day.
Heroes! They just distanced themselves from ordinary professionals, but the competition between heroes was still based on strength.
The skills still need to be improved.
Viola worked so hard, and the others worked even harder.
……
Wu Heng sat in the living room for a while and saw that there was no one there.
So he got up, went upstairs and returned to the study.
Pushing open the door, the puppet controlled by Glenda was half lying on the rocking chair by the window, wearing a velvet dress, and there were blooming branches in the crystal bottle on the windowsill.
Just like a noble lady enjoying a leisurely time.
"Where are they?" Wu Heng sat down opposite.
"I'm going out to play." Glenda tapped her toes on the ground, and the rocking chair made a soothing squeak. "There's a new pub opened on Commercial Street, and I heard there's a singing performance there."
"Why didn't you go with us? Why do you always stay at home?" Wu Heng asked.
"I'm old now and I'm not interested in these things anymore."
"Can you be bigger than my mother?"
Glenda looked over and said unhappily, "If she hears, she'll be mad at you again."
Wu Heng smiled and continued, "Brittany called today and reminded us that we should set off for the Yeko Kingdom."
"It is indeed time to set off." Glinda's puppet leaned forward slightly, and his porcelain face shone delicately under the light. "Remember the purpose of this trip is to consolidate your image as a god, which will also be beneficial to the expansion of the Spiritual Enlightenment Church."
Wu Heng said: "When the time comes, I will get a few more salute cannons, and then have a helicopter sprinkle flower petals from the sky..."
"Exaggerated!" Glenda commented.
Dong dong dong~!
Wu Heng wanted to say something when there were three knocks on the door.
Then, there was an eerie silence outside the door.
Normally, if the maids come up, they will call me directly after closing the door.
Wu Heng glanced at Granda, then stood up and opened the door. Outside the door, a six-armed skeleton alchemist stood still like a sculpture and handed him a bottle of potion.
【Grandmaster's Strength Potion】
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, and the second bottle of Corpse King potion was produced.
The formula of the Corpse King Potion is different from the previous potion, and it requires condensed dew formed by "Moonlight Crystal" as one of the ingredients.
This kind of condensation takes time to generate, so even with the corpse king's "corpse core", the production efficiency is still slow.
It has been quite some time since the last time I took the Corpse King potion.
"Continue making it!" Wu Heng took the potion, and the Skeleton Alchemist bowed and retreated.
Back in the study, Glenda turned her head and looked over. "What's the matter?"
"The second bottle of Corpse King potion is ready." Wu Heng shook the glass bottle in his hand, and the potion glowed fluorescently under the light.
Glenda closed the book and said, "That's great! Let's see if I can awaken new abilities this time."
"I feel that the role of superpowers is becoming increasingly limited, and is really not as useful as skills." Wu Heng said.
"Of course!" Glenda rocked the rocking chair again. "Superpowers are abilities that are added when you take potions. They are given to you for free. Skills are developed to be used in combat or for specific purposes. The difference between the two is obvious."
"That's true." Wu Heng sat down and took a deep breath. "I'm going to drink it. If you have any problems, remember to save me."
"No help!"
Wu Heng blinked, "I love you, save me!"
Glenda rolled her eyes at him, "Drink up, you're talking too much."
Wu Heng stopped joking and uncorked the bottle.
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The tremendous energy exploded in the body, muscles cramped, bones groaned, and every cell was suffering between tearing and reorganizing.
With a muffled groan, he fell on his back, his nails digging deeply into the carpet.
Glenda stood up and knelt on the ground, gently holding his head in her arms.
The severe pain lasted for about two or three minutes, then subsided and my breathing gradually became stable.
System prompts also sounded in my ears.
[Strength +4, Constitution +3, Agility +3. 】
[Characteristic improvement: Genetic furnace! ]
Wu Heng opened his eyes suddenly, not even caring about the remaining pain.
Feature improvements, not unlocking new features.
'Gene Furnace' is the ability unlocked last time, which can improve itself by absorbing the genes of other races.
Can this evolve?
I have taken it so many times, but I have never encountered a supernatural power that can be strengthened a second time.
Is it the hidden effect of the Corpse King potion, or is it because I have unlocked the related ability twice in a row?
"Get up when you're done!" Glenda tapped him with her porcelain finger, "I'm not your pillow."
"It's not ready yet, wait a little longer!"
"Don't give me that!" Glenda grabbed his ear. "If you dare to rub your sweat on my skirt, I'll throw you out of the window."
Wu Heng sat up straight and said, "Cold-blooded and ruthless."
"What superpowers have been awakened this time?" asked Granda.
"No new abilities." Wu Heng paused and continued, "But the ability of 'Gene Furnace' seems to have been improved."
"Promotion? What does that mean?" Glenda returned to her recliner.
"Wait a moment! Let me study it." Wu Heng also sat back in his chair, opened the panel, and began to check the prompt effects of the supernatural power.
[Gene Melting Pot]: By consuming its own vitality, cells are fused into the gene chain of any known organism, acquiring physiological characteristics and inheriting specific resistances.
Wu Heng read it word by word, and his brows frowned instantly when he saw the last few words.
Compared to the last introduction.
This time, there is an additional 'Inherit specific resistance' at the end.
Inheriting specific resistances….
Inheritance... seems to be somewhat different from the gene fusion mentioned above.
Glenda sat aside and waited for a while. Seeing that he was motionless, he said, "You were immobilized by Sun Wukong! What did you feel?"
Wu Heng raised his head and said, "In the previous gene furnace, an inherited specific resistance appeared."
“Inherit?” Grenada repeated, and then said, “It’s easy to understand. Take a corpse as an example. You will get the same resistance as the corpse you want to absorb originally.”
"I was wondering if I could use the same corpse repeatedly to gain resistance." Wu Heng expressed his doubts.
"Try it. We have a lot of internal organs!" Glenda also became interested.
Wu Heng nodded and took out an organ jar from his space ring. There was a note on the jar that read "Count Pizza".
Count Pizza is Xiao Xiao's name, and the owner of the organs inside is the previous leader of the vampire clan.
He had previously wanted to take back Lilith’s position as leader, but was killed by Wu Heng in the vampire territory.
"Let's start! You'll have to go back to rest soon." said Granda.
Wu Heng nodded, opened the organ jar, took out a piece of internal organs, cut off a piece with a silver knife, and swallowed it directly.
A burst of energy enveloped the piece of meat and then broke it apart.
Then, the system prompt appears.
[Blood magic resistance increased. 】
