The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 607: Doesn't that mean that even steel can have a will?
"The blood-red substance is gone just like that?"

"It seems the National Security Bureau has some hidden treasures up its sleeve!"

An Sheng gradually snapped out of her reverie from the wish list and glanced out the window. The sky outside the helicopter window was a clear, bright blue. There was no explosion, no strange phenomena, and everything was completely silent.

The wish list will only be settled after the matter has been completely resolved.

Regarding the King of the Universe, Lord Fuli only defeated its main body, but there are still some derivatives containing the King of the Universe's will that haven't been dealt with. Therefore, the matter is not actually over, because there may be changes.

The fact that the wish list was settled proves that the Security Bureau must have pulled out some secret weapon to erase the potential impact of the King of the Universe.

Master Fuli was full of curiosity. He planned to go back to the temporary command camp later and rummage through Old Li's crotch to see how they had managed to quell the situation.

after all
An Sheng is now absolutely certain, recalling something Hedgehog Grandma once said: "The Security Bureau? Those violent lunatics in the Security Bureau, they'll nuke them with nuclear bombs once they lure the spirit beasts out of the city!"

The nuclear explosion might be real, and the stories Grandma Hedgehog told might also be true, but those who ate the nuclear explosion might not be the mythical beasts Grandma Hedgehog mentioned, but rather some super-old zombies that sprang from old graves.

The helicopter roared into the Greater Khingan Mountains and gradually landed at the temporary command camp.

"Let's give our heroes a round of applause and flowers!"

Before the helicopter landed, Li Wenkang stood with a smile on his face in front of the helipad, lined up with the soldiers. As soon as he saw the people from the helicopter get off, he spoke loudly and was the first to raise his hand to applaud the triumphant return of Master Fuli.

"Congratulations to Lord Fuli for defeating the invaders and protecting the land of Xia Kingdom! Hero! Hero of the people!" The warriors lined up to present flowers and applause to Lord Fuli, their eyes revealing deep envy and some emotion.

The female civilian soldiers in the camp stepped forward with smiles to present a flower wreath to Master Fuli. The wreath contained no rare or precious flowers, but rather wildflowers from the mountains and forests.

However, given the conditions in the temporary command camp, it was truly a hardship for those soldiers who handled guns more than washing machines to weave a large number of beautiful and fragrant garlands in just half an hour.

The atmosphere at the camp was very cheerful. In addition to flowers and applause, Mr. Fuli was surrounded by several bottles of cola in his arms.

"That's a bit much, Lao Li. Coming up here with a welcoming party and flowers is just too much."

As they emerged from the tarmac, each person adorned with a wreath and bouquet of flowers. Master Fuli, somewhat embarrassed by the compliments, spoke to Li Wenkang.

"What's so outrageous about it? Doing good deeds should be said out loud and praised properly, otherwise how will anyone know you did a good deed?"

"Once the case is declassified, I'll publish it in the Xia Guo Newspaper and make up for everything you're owed!"

Li Wenkang smiled and said to Master Fuli, "Master Fuli sacrificed himself for the people and thwarted the invaders."

"The entire magazine is yours."

At present, the actions and thoughts of the National Security Bureau are not suitable to be made public. However, neither the National Security Bureau nor its subordinate units and organizations are actually unsung heroes; they just cannot be made public at the moment.

Li Wenkang didn't care what other people or organizations thought, but he would record and publicly commend anyone who made contributions to him.

Material rewards are necessary, but spiritual rewards are equally indispensable.

"???"

An Sheng stared at Old Li with a dumbfounded expression, a series of question marks appearing on his forehead.

"I'm a fox, the kind that can talk. Are you sure you can really get published in the newspaper?" An Sheng retorted.

Li Wenkang was stunned, his face tense, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The fox is nothing.

It's not a big deal that you can talk.

But the fact that the fox spirit can talk and lives in a village where almost everyone has the surname Chen makes it hard to stay calm.

"Let's skip the newspaper stuff for now. What I'm really curious about is how you dealt with the crimson substance spread by the King of the Universe," An Sheng asked Li Wenkang with a curious expression.

"That thing's name is... King of the Universe?"

Li Wenkang muttered something to himself, glanced at Professor Wu, and then nodded slightly before saying, "There's nothing I can't say. You've seen that thing before; it's the [Zhu Jiuyin] that I took to the Bashan Tiankeng last time."

Li Wenkang gave Master Fuli a general overview of their arrangements for the aftermath.

Although they did not go to the borderlands, they had been monitoring them through the [Starbreaker Satellite].

When the King of the Universe escaped from the ruins, they had already devised a corresponding solution based on Professor Wu's description.

Seven minutes.

The Xiangjian fighter jet pierced the sky and sped 1,200 kilometers to reach the airspace above the ruins beyond the Great Wall.

All that's missing is Professor Wu's laser guidance to target and bombard the King of the Universe's vitals.

"Zhu Jiuyin?"

Master Fuli was full of curiosity, and Li Wenkang didn't hide anything from him. He had his assistant take Master Fuli to watch the live video transmitted by the Star-Catcher.

Li Wenkang led Professor Wu and Unos, who hadn't said much, into the tent, intending to compile a paper record based on their accounts.

"Master Fuli, please keep the matter of Zhu Jiuyin confidential."

"In some ways, it can be considered the opening move in our previous assumptions about the form of war." Principal Li's assistant was a man, refined and wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He pulled up the optical satellite monitoring footage transmitted back by the Starbreaker satellite on his computer.

"A hypothetical war opening?" Master Fuli looked at the computer screen with a strange expression on his face.

on video.

After Mr. Fuli and his group left, Professor Wu threw a round metal object onto the path leading to the blood-red substance.

The group departed by helicopter, and four plumes of smoke reappeared in the sky. After launching an air-to-ground missile, they withdrew from the area at full speed.

The missile exploded mid-air, flashing a white light like the sun. The light was so intense that it momentarily overshadowed the sunlight above.

The light shone on the earth, and within a very short time, black scorch marks appeared on the land.

Then, those charred marks began to crawl rapidly, forming a black tide that quickly covered the entire semi-melted permafrost layer, an area of ​​nearly forty square kilometers, which was rapidly sinking.

A black tide swept across everything, creating a black lake out of thin air on land.

"These are... fungi from the Second Era?" Master Fuli stared blankly at the content on the screen, then looked at his assistant and blurted out unconsciously.

Those dark stains, if not looked at closely, really do look like burn marks, but once they move, even through the screen, An Sheng can recognize that these things are somewhat similar to the black bio-armor ridden by Sao Long.

But the two should be different.

After the explosion, [Zhu Jiuyin] turned gray at a visible speed, as if it had reached the end of its lifespan.

Yes, they belong to a certain type of fungus.

The assistant looked at Master Fuli and said, "We once discovered some fungi in some ruins. After cultivating them, we found that these fungi exhibited different characteristics."

"One type of fungus tends to feed on organic matter, while another type tends to feed on inorganic matter. Under high temperatures, they enter a kind of overclocking state and begin to eat without any regard for anything else, and then they die from overeating."

The assistant described the effects of [Zhu Jiuyin] to Master Fuli in the simplest possible way.

Those fungi certainly didn't die from overeating. Rather, under the stimulation of high temperatures, they would enter a state of reckless division and reproduction, and then enter the countdown to death.

The individuals that split off become more vulnerable with each generation, until the entire population becomes extinct.

In Li Wenkang's vision.

【Candle Nine Yin】is a weapon of war that uses hypersonic missiles to conduct a blanket strike, instantly evaporating the entire city through fungi, eliminating the possibility of street fighting, and directly achieving area occupation.

However, due to its extreme nature, this substance was subsequently modified in the process of mutation breeding to be more suited to evaporating urban buildings and steel structures.

"this thing"

"Isn't it just a garbage recycling station?"

After listening to his assistant's description of the fungus's properties, An Sheng's expression grew increasingly strange. He asked, "You dug up the Second Era's garbage disposal plant?"

"what?"

The assistant was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression turning questioning. He then stared at Master Fuli with wide eyes, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Holy crap!

The analogy used by Master Fuli is, in a sense, very fitting to the scene when the fungus was first discovered.

These bacteria, which have mutated countless times, were accidentally discovered on the edge of a deep pit.

As Master Fuli complained, a scene gradually formed in the assistant's mind.

The dragon people are sorting garbage, throwing hazardous waste into a pit, and then throwing in a packet of bacteria.

Moments later, the landfill was emptied, and the dead fungi were taken back to be used as fertilizer.
"."

Master Fuli and his assistant stared at each other blankly.

Could I have guessed right?

"I do not know!"

…………

Meanwhile, in another tent.

Professor Wu recounted the entire incident at the Western Frontier Ruins to Li Wenkang in detail, including the King of the Universe Egg and the operating table.

"By the way, Master Fuli said that the egg formed from the King of the Universe is exceptionally sturdy, and it reacts very violently to spiritual particles. Staying in an area with a high concentration of spiritual particles might revive it."

"Well, Master Fuli said it's suitable for blacksmithing." Professor Wu fully repeated Master Fuli's complaint.

"Blacksmithing?"

Li Wenkang looked at the glass container, staring at the eggshell powder and fragments inside. A strange expression appeared on his face as he said, "The suggestion is quite novel, but using this to forge spirit-grade metal is very dangerous!"

"We need to isolate the spirit particles throughout the entire process, and we also need to use a large amount of spirit particle medicine."

As Li Wenkang spoke, he looked at Unos.

"Ok?"

Unos looked puzzled and asked Li Wenkang, who was staring at him, "Is there anything I need to do here?"

"Probably not?" Li Wenkang said with a smile.

"after all."

"Not everyone has the ability to observe the direction of spirit particles and the ability of a race to interfere with the material world. How could such a coincidence exist in the world?"

Unos paused for a moment, then said, "..."

Li Wenkang appeared relaxed, as if he were having a casual conversation, but in his heart he was thinking about whether Master Fuli's suggestion could be implemented or at least initially verified.

Wouldn't that mean that even the steel of the Xia Kingdom could have a will?
In the future, just say a word, and the steel will automatically...
"Unos, did you get a visa?"

"Do I need a visa? Didn't they say there's a 144-hour window for entry?"
