The old man shakily reached out and took the thin piece of paper.
The paper was folded very carefully, clearly having been carefully kept by the little tree spirit.
He carefully unfolded it, and under the dim oil lamp, lines of slightly illegible writing came into view.
"Dr. Xu, Dr. Rong, Dr. Ma... I know you can't believe it, but it's true. We followed the ship of the Divine Kingdom's demons to a magical country, where there is a mountain god..."
On the letter, the old factory director used the simplest and most unadorned language to describe what he saw and heard in the desolate county.
"...The Mountain Goddess is merciful and never abandons anyone. She has set up factories at the foot of barren mountains and even in many prefectures and counties of Liang Kingdom, recruiting a large number of refugees..."
"That's right, just as you imagined, these are indeed real factories, and many of the things produced inside are very similar to modern ones..."
"There was a canteen in the factory. The migrant workers who used to work there received very good treatment. They were provided with three meals a day, accommodation, and wages. They also received welfare benefits on holidays. The treatment was even better than that of some modern factories."
"Of course, the most important thing is that the Mountain Goddess is willing to allocate funds to get the believers and refugees to cooperate. I will build a shipyard specifically for this purpose, and we will design and manage the shipyard ourselves..."
"I've already decided what kind of ship I want to design, but unfortunately we don't have enough manpower here, and everyone lacks experience. If you're willing, you must come to Huangxian to help us!"
"..."
"After saying all that, what I want to say is that this is a very normal country where we can all live normal lives and even have the opportunity to realize our dreams!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's rush in! Staying in the divine kingdom will only mean being tormented by those demons!"
The young people inside were already dumbfounded, their expressions shifting from disbelief to shock, and then to ecstasy.
At the end of the letter were the old factory director's three strong signatures and a red fingerprint.
"This, this handwriting, it really is Old Xu's!" an elderly woman with gray hair suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Another old man nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Old Xu is the most honest person, he would never lie!"
This discovery was like a shot in the arm, completely dispelling the last trace of doubt in everyone's hearts.
"Oh my god! There really is such a place?" The girl in the sportswear covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Factory, canteen, home of time travelers..." the bespectacled boy muttered to himself, his eyes behind the lenses shining brightly.
The old woman with the cane took a deep breath, and an unprecedented light shone in her cloudy eyes. She looked at the little tree spirit and said firmly, "Little spirit, we'll go with you!"
"Yes! We'll go with you!"
"Take us to the barren mountains!"
The atmosphere inside the room was instantly ignited, and everyone excitedly echoed the sentiment.
Seeing this, the little tree spirit was so happy that several withered leaves almost curled up. It nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good! The Mountain Goddess sent me here to guide everyone!"
It paused, then scratched the bare treetop with a hint of distress: "However, we can't leave now."
"I must do my best to find more transmigrators like you, as well as ordinary people, in this divine kingdom."
These words calmed the agitation in the room somewhat.
The old woman with the cane pondered for a moment and said, "We do know some places that imprison many people like us, as well as some local elderly people and children who have been captured by the skeleton soldiers."
“But…” she frowned, “those places are heavily guarded, and the skeleton soldiers patrol so closely that we can’t get close at all.”
The bespectacled boy chimed in, "That's right. We had thought about contacting each other or searching for other trapped people, but as soon as there was any unusual movement, those skeleton soldiers swarmed around us like flies that smelled blood."
The little tree spirit paced anxiously in circles, its thin branches swaying weakly: "What, what should I do? I can't beat those skeleton soldiers!"
It was just a minor demon with almost zero combat power; otherwise, it wouldn't have been killed by the wolf demon in one blow.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Yu Luo, who was far away in the temple in the desolate mountains, was clearly seeing everything that was happening inside the wooden house through the panoramic map in front of him.
A slight smile played on her lips as she extended her slender fingers, the tips of which gleamed with golden light.
It shines with golden light, as dazzling as stars.
Yu Luo flicked his finger, and the golden light suddenly pierced through the void.
It landed precisely on the panoramic map.
Inside the sloping wooden house.
"ah!"
A scream broke the silence.
The boy with glasses suddenly pointed to his hand, his face filled with horror: "My hand! How did my hand turn into bones!"
His once fair hands were now visibly thinning, the flesh was fading away, revealing the stark white bones in his fingers!
"My legs! My legs too!" the girl in the sportswear screamed. She was horrified to discover that her calves had turned into two pieces of white bone under her sports pants.
"What happened?"
The room was thrown into chaos again. The young people were terrified, thinking that the little tree spirit had used some kind of trick.
The little tree spirit was also startled by this sudden turn of events, waving its hands repeatedly: "No, it wasn't me! I didn't do it!"
The elderly woman with the cane was experienced and knowledgeable. Although she was also startled, she quickly calmed down and shouted sternly, "Don't panic! Look carefully!"
The crowd strained their eyes to look, only to see the bodies of the young men rapidly turning into skeletons.
