Chapter 289 Threat
"Are you here?"
"Um."
"Okay, wait for me here."
"Boss, we..."
The crown used his eyes to stop the strong man from saying anything else.
"Grandma, I'm going out to play for a while."
Turning back, he gave the old lady a flattering smile, like a naughty child who couldn't stay at home.
The old lady stood up with the porridge spoon in her hand and scolded him unhappily, "It's time for dinner, why are you still running around outside? Don't leave. You can only go out and play after you eat!"
"Hey, grandma, it's just a moment. I'll be back soon! Dadongzi and the others at the village head are looking for me to go digging for loaches!"
The crown disappeared in a flash.
The old lady knocked on the edge of the pot with an iron spoon.
"You naughty boy! You think I can't catch up with you because of my old arms and legs? I have a bad temper... Hey, I really can't catch up with you!"
The old lady took two steps and almost fell, so she gave up chasing and muttered angrily how she could not walk steadily at the age of over 60.
The strong man quickly stepped forward to support her.
The old lady suffers from Alzheimer's disease and can't remember what happened before and after the storm, nor does she remember the relatives and friends who died. Now she is living in the time more than 20 years ago and still thinks Wang Guan is a child.
She didn't know what her grandson had done for her, nor what he was going to do now. This was a kind of ignorant happiness that made the powerful man envious.
People in the row of makeshift houses behind them gradually emerged from their beds and greeted the old lady. She announced that dinner was ready and told them to prepare some porridge. The group was bustling and lively, not like a group seeking refuge from the apocalypse, but rather a group camping in the mountains.
These were all old acquaintances of Wang Guan and the other two, including relatives, colleagues, and classmates. They were gradually found and gathered together by the three who returned to the north. Like the old lady, they also didn't know where Wang Guan was at the moment.
A bowl of porridge was handed to the strong man, and steam was rising from it.
He looked in the direction where the crown disappeared and remained silent.
"Come out."
Wang Guan, who was walking forward after coming out of the valley, suddenly waved to the empty back.
The man in red appeared silently and flew down to the front.
"Don't chase me back to protect the others. A fool with great strength is enough to stay behind. I want to go with you." He said bluntly.
The crown stopped.
He took out a candy from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and smiled.
"I'm not chasing you away. You can't leave now even if you want to."
A huge energy wave came down from the sky, directly covering the two of them!
"Boss!"
A few kilometers away, a strong man holding a bowl of porridge was startled and looked at the sky that suddenly darkened.
"Divine punishment!"
In the center of the energy storm, the man in red exclaimed.
Violent energy raged around them, like a tornado emerging from the ground. The sky darkened, and clouds quickly gathered and coalesced. In the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour poured down. Strangely, the rain only fell within a radius of thirty or forty meters, while the surrounding area remained sunny.
The flying figure of the man in red was like a fragile butterfly in the rain, about to be smashed into the mud at any time.
"What's this divine punishment? It's just a huge energy field created by using top-level energy stones."
Wang Guan stood upright in the wind and rain, smiling through gritted teeth.
This body, still struggling to recover from the backlash, was now in imminent danger, poised to rip apart at any moment. Blood oozed from every part of his body, dissipating in the wind and rain before it could even touch the ground, leaving the storm with a thick, bloody odor.
"Traitor, go to hell!"
A cold declaration echoed through the air, and the storm intensified. An overwhelming surge of energy roared towards the crown standing at the center.
"Boss!"
The man in red tried to rush over, but was blown aside by the strong wind.
He watched helplessly as the crown was pierced by the energy, his body shattering into pieces. He was not spared either, and before he could even grieve for the crown, he was swept by the edge of the energy and fell out of control.
"You used the core of the stone, isn't that bad?"
Somewhere in the capital, in a secret core area.
Transoceanic communications are underway.
Wei Jianshe clutched his communicator, glancing at the real-time footage of Beijing's suburbs, which was being transmitted to him from the wall beside him. The storm continued, the sky changing color, the ground swaying, the scene was terrifying.
There was a delay of more than a minute before a response came from the other end of the communicator.
The voice was gloomy.
"Before you question us, reflect on your own actions. How dare you claim that we lost several key scientific research areas and control of several key countries without your help?! You provoked us first, so don't blame us for our strong response. And I want to remind you that if we don't see the sincerity of your apology, the next storm will not be on the edge of your capital, but in the heart of it. Your technology can defend against missiles and nuclear weapons, but can it also defend against that stone? Haha."
The translator turned the other party's words over. Wei Jianshe sneered silently and looked at the two leaders of the same level next to him.
Then he asked, "So, what kind of sincerity do you want?"
"It's probably a little too late to regret now. But we're willing to give you a chance to mend your ways..."
The other party arrogantly reported a string of Chinese place names, expressing their desire for control over these areas and islands.
In addition, people should be sent to carry out technical cooperation with the official core laboratory.
"We heard that your recent resurrection experiment seems to have made some progress, haha." The other party laughed proudly, arrogantly showing off their ability to obtain confidential information from here even though they are across the ocean.
"In addition, there are several people who are criminals who promoted the war. We hope you can hand these war criminals over to us for disposal." The other party made further demands.
Wei Jianshe asked, "Who do you want?"
"Zhang Guojian, Li Chongyang, Zhuang He..." The other party reported a series of names, all of whom were heroes who had made contributions in destroying the Temple and other organizations under Saint Yes.
When Wei Jianshe heard the names of Ye Qi and Qiao Lan mixed in, he looked at the others again.
Everyone understood.
The other people who made contributions were just cover. What the other party really wanted were Ye Qi who had the ability to reconstruct, Qiao Lan whose ability was mysterious, and Tang Xiaoyao in the core laboratory.
"Their primary concern is indeed resurrection and eternal life."
After some pretense of agreement, Wei Jianshe hung up the phone with a disdainful sneer.
Look at the people they ordered!
It's all about resurrection!
"They are all selfish old guys." An officer's eyes were filled with anger.
"They sent that stone to our capital and used threats. It seems they're serious this time." Another leader said solemnly, "I hope we're fully prepared."
Wei Jianshe took a deep breath and said, "All necessary preparations have been made. Let's wait for news."
The room was quiet, with only the screen on the wall still showing the unfinished storm in the suburbs of Beijing.
Crown, can you still live?
Wei Jianshe stared at the screen without saying a word.
