Ma Dong furrowed his brows as he tossed and turned on his bed, unable to fall asleep. Other than his parents, Wang Zhong was the person he cared about the most in this world. To a certain extent, even Milami had to step aside. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Everything had been too smooth recently, to the point that it felt surreal. The sense of crisis in his heart had been numbed and concealed by the overly smooth sailing. However, once it was provoked, it would give him an even more intense warning.
He stood up, then lay down, then stood up, then lay down again. In the end, he got up and dialed Wang Zhong's Skylink number.
"Du, du, du … the user you are trying to contact is not in the service area …"
Looking at the time, it was already past 11 o 'clock. Due to the militarized management of the various military regions, communications would generally be restricted at night.
Ma Dong felt helpless.
What's more, even if he managed to get through, what could he say? Everything was just his own imagination. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any mishaps.
Within the bustling city, Ma Dong wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep.
At the highest floor of the Stuart City, Carolyn was quietly standing before the 360-degree glass window. Looking at the bustling city illuminated by the lights of the night, a sliver of tenderness appeared in her eyes for an instant.
That moment of tenderness she had felt in that sweaty training room was akin to soaking her entire body in a warm hot spring. That was something that Carolyn had once been infatuated with and reminisced about.
Originally, that infatuation and reminiscence could have been preserved in her memories, becoming the most precious and warm scene in her life.
Therefore, she didn't wish for him to come to the CHF. However, since he was here, unwilling to be mediocre, and unwilling to be her friend, he could only be … her enemy.
Gently placing the wine glass in her hand down, the sliver of tenderness in her eyes was rapidly replaced by indifference. Wang Zhong had offended too many people, and would definitely have to settle the score in the future. However, even Carolyn had underestimated the determination of the Gui and Zhao Families, who would rather give up on benefits to cripple Wang Zhong. Carolyn had forcefully fought for an opportunity. If Wang Zhong was willing to follow her, she and the Stuart Family would be willing to protect him. However, Wang Zhong had casually rejected her.
This had also stabbed at Carolyn's pride, as there had never been anyone who could reject her.
Wang Zhong's little bit of fame was simply unable to protect him. Copperfield didn't even have the qualifications to protect him. No one would truly care about him, and no one would truly care about him.
Don't even think about going to the Holy Land in this lifetime.
This was the path that Wang Zhong had chosen, so he would have to bear the consequences himself.
The wine glass was filled again. The bright red wine was gently swayed in the glass, and the fragrance lingered on the wall.
It was time to cut everything off and start a new journey.
Although the conditions of the military guesthouse weren't great, they weren't bad either. At the very least, they were clean and tidy.
Wang Zhong had a pretty good rest. After washing up the next day, he planned to take a stroll around the barracks. After all, according to Lieutenant Will, he might have to wait for one or two days for the notification. However, before he could leave, someone had already come knocking on his door.
They were 2 military officers from the military, both of them holding the rank of Major. Unlike the logistics' elite 'Lieutenant Will from yesterday, the 2 of them radiated with the aura of a powerful Heroic Soul Stage soldier. Their extremely callous expressions radiated with the austere aura of frontline soldiers. With one look, one could tell that they were ruthless people who had definitely struggled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as they radiated an extremely heavy evil aura.
"Wang Zhong?" The officer who knocked on the door flashed his identity card. "Follow us."
Wang Zhong was slightly flabbergasted. Although there was no problem with the other party's identity card, shouldn't there be a representative from the military who would talk to him first? Or perhaps, even if the procedures were simplified and the strong had priority, wasn't that a little too cold?
"Mo Wen isn't going with me?"
"There will naturally be someone who will be going with you. You won't be going alone." The officer's voice was somewhat cold, clearly not as easy to talk to as Lieutenant Will yesterday. "This is the military headquarters. Ask less and obey more. Don't waste any more time!"
As he spoke, he made a 'please' gesture. However, his attitude was rather rude.
Something seemed off, though Wang Zhong didn't mind it too much. Perhaps, this was a show of strength. The military really liked to treat newcomers in such a manner, telling him that this wasn't the CHF anymore.
The other party had come with the identity of a military officer, so there was no reason for him to reject them. Furthermore, this was the military headquarters. If it was just 2 vile people causing trouble, Wang Zhong could take action at any time if he discovered that the direction or destination was wrong. Although the Heroic Soul aura radiating from the 2 soldiers weren't weak, Wang Zhong had no fear. Furthermore, if they truly caused a ruckus within the barracks, there would naturally be people who would take action.
Without batting an eyelid, Wang Zhong turned around and picked up his backpack.
There was already a military vehicle waiting outside the guest house. The windows weren't even covered. After starting the vehicle, Wang Zhong followed the rough route he had taken yesterday. He didn't seem to be heading in the wrong direction, all the way to the entrance of the transmission base he had passed yesterday. This military vehicle clearly frequented this place, as the guards didn't even bother asking anything before letting them pass. The tightly shut metal gates opened wide, with everything appearing to be in order without any problems.
After getting out of the vehicle, Wang Zhong was greeted with a panoramic view of the construction of the transmission base hidden within the perimeter walls.
There were 7 to 8 circular constructions in the spacious open space. Every single one of them was constructed from a shiny new titanium alloy, reflecting a silvery glow. Countless runes sparkled on their surface, faintly discernible.
At the top of these circular constructions, there was a small circular platform that was approximately a few meters in diameter. It should be able to fit quite a few people at the same time. That was the transmission launcher. It was able to forcefully open the dimensional barrier and establish a light pillar channel, sending humans and their physical bodies into the Hyperdimension. This miraculous technological method caused everyone who knew what kind of existence the Hyperdimension was to gasp in amazement.
At this moment, the top of one of the circular constructions was sparkling with a faint glow. The runes on the exterior of the constructions would occasionally flash across its surface, as though they were preparing for the transmission.
The military officer brought Wang Zhong to the front of the glowing base. The two of them stood behind him and urged Wang Zhong to move forward.
Pushing open the outer door of the circular constructions, Wang Zhong saw that the interior of the rather large circular constructions was a slightly narrow passageway. Twisting and turning, the passageway continued to extend underground. At the end of the passageway, an underground transmission platform that wasn't too big appeared before his eyes.
A transmission array with a radius of a few meters was currently in operation. Runes sparkled as they transmitted energy, forming a silvery-white cylindrical light barrier. Streams of light flashed across the surface of the barrier, while electric snakes danced and crackled.
Within the silvery-white transmission array, Wang Zhong could faintly see the silhouettes of four people within it. One of them seemed to want to come out and extended his hand to touch the light barrier of the transmission array. However, upon contact, an intense electric glow immediately sparkled, causing that person's hand to be fiercely smacked back.
Wang Zhong's heart sunk slightly.
At this moment, a white-robed man standing guard at the control panel impatiently waved his hand towards Wang Zhong. "What's going on? Why are you dilly-dallying so slowly? You're the only one left!"
"This old lady has been wrongly accused!"
Without waiting for Wang Zhong to reply, a scolding female voice rang out from the transmission platform. "There's no justice in this world! Isn't he just a broken aristocrat? I didn't do anything to him and just wanted to scare him. Is there a need to send me to such a place?"
"Shut up! You're not allowed to make a ruckus in the transmission array! "The white-robed man standing at the control panel said coldly.
"This old lady won't. You dare to come in and bite me? I'm about to fucking die, and you're still not allowed to make a ruckus? "The woman appeared extremely valiant as she scolded loudly." If he doesn't pay up, what's wrong with this old lady chopping him up? That kind of lowly person should be chopped up! Is there any justice in this world left for me to be exiled? If this old lady's people were to be played for free, would that be normal in your eyes? "
"Forget it. What's the use of talking to him." A middle-aged man dressed in a suit spoke out in a deep voice. "Save your strength. Who knows, you might be able to endure for a few more days."
Seemingly as though the voices of the two men had resonated, a little girl spoke out in a timid and trembling voice. "Uncle, I really didn't kill anyone. Can you let me out? I can be your servant. I, I can do many things! "
The soft and helpless voice caused the valiant woman, who had been scolding her the loudest, to stop and look at her with a slightly pitiful expression.
Nevertheless, the white-robed man remained unmoved. Turning his head to look at Wang Zhong, he said, "Hand over your Skylink and go up yourself. Don't waste time."
Indeed, he had been cheated. If this was the transmission array to the Blessed Lands, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.
The 7th Regiment … there was no problem with the identification of the two military officers. Furthermore, they were able to use the military's transmission array. This was definitely done by the upper echelons of the military.
However, did this represent the entire 7th Regiment, or just a few people? Or, was this the intention of the Parliament, or the various great aristocratic families?
"Where are we going to teleport to?" Asked Wang Zhong in an indifferent tone. A surge of Soul Power had already started to quietly accumulate in his arm, while his Heart's Eye opened up in an instant, enveloping his surroundings.
Seemingly at the same instant that his Heart's Eye opened up, strange sounds rang out from within the basement, as a concealed hole in the wall opened up. Dozens of runic guns brimming with terrifying might were already aimed towards Wang Zhong. At the same time, the 2 Heroic Soul Stage military officers behind him instantly took action, their chilling sharp edges already pressing against Wang Zhong's back.
"You'd better behave yourself." Said the military officer in a cold voice. "You're just a mere Casted Soul Stage. Regardless of what methods you have up your sleeves, the setup here is more than enough to kill you ten thousand times before you take action."
Wang Zhong remained silent. The results of his Heart's Eye allowed him to know that the other party was not lying.
Without talking about the lethal threat radiating from the chilling gun muzzles on the wall, even if it was just the 2 Heroic Soul Stage soldiers behind him, they would definitely be able to kill him before he could unleash his full combat strength.
After all, he was still a Casted Soul Stage. Although the might of his Dharma Idol was strong, it was basically impossible for him to instantly unleash his full power without any prior preparation and accumulation.
This was the limitation of a Casted Soul Stage Dharma Idol. Although his combat strength might be comparable to that of many super Heroic Soul Stage soldiers, there were still many limitations to it.
The dagger on his back jabbed impatiently at Wang Zhong. "This is your training ground, a direct order from the military. What's wrong? Are you afraid? Or do you feel that we should serve you like a lord? Hand over your Skylink and hurry up. Don't waste time. In any case, you won't be able to use it in that place."
Wang Zhong gawked slightly, before pulling out his Skylink. "I'm just very curious about the destination of the transfer. Can't you tell me in advance?"
"You'll naturally know when you get there. What's with all this nonsense." Grabbing his Skylink, the military officer gave a fierce kick to Wang Zhong's back, sending him flying into the transfer array.
Speaking of which, there was something strange about it. From the outside, the light barrier of the transfer array seemed to sparkle with electricity. However, when Wang Zhong was kicked in, he felt as though he had not touched anything at all, as though it didn't exist. However, upon entering the transfer array and touching it with his hand, a terrifying electric current surged over, causing his entire body to turn numb.
"One look and I can tell that he's being trampled." The valiant woman's voice rang out from the side. "I pity this soft and tender baby."
Immediately, a gigantic electric current as thick as an arm struck Wang Zhong's finger, causing sparks to explode out. His skin, which even the mysterious flames couldn't burn, was instantly charred black by the electric current.
"Save your strength and go to another place." The bespectacled male within the transfer array reminded. "The feeling of this transfer isn't too good."
The white-robed male laughed as he operated the mechanical control panel. "There's finally someone who understands. Have you been to the hyperdimension before?"
The bespectacled male did not reply, while the white-robed male did not care about it. Appearing to have completed the preparations for the transfer, he nodded towards the 2 military officers that had escorted Wang Zhong over. Immediately, the 2 of them picked up a few items from the ground and threw them over.
There were a few large backpacks that were considerably heavy. In addition, there were even exquisite runic blades and shields. There weren't many, just enough for one person.
"Perform well," said the 2 with an expressionless face. "You might even have the chance to turn over a new leaf."
"Pui!" The valiant woman spat out a mouthful of spittle. However, it was instantly vaporized by the electric current of the transfer array, unable to pass through it at all.
