Chapter 237 This once deserted place suddenly became lively.
Chen Linfeng had already sent men to put the people captured by the Tong sisters onto a helicopter and send them back for interrogation. Besides finding his own people, information about these prisoners was also very important.
Seeing that the search was making no progress and that the Tong sisters refused to leave, he stayed with them to wait for another group to arrive. The Tong sisters said they had also captured a superhuman; their eldest sister had trapped him in the bushes, but they couldn't find him anywhere.
Yu Ling and the others suspected that their two older sisters' disappearance was related to this person, and they regretted not slitting his throat directly! Little did they know that their eldest sister possessed an extraordinary spatial ability, and she had secretly thrown him into her space to prevent him from escaping!
They witnessed with their own eyes that it was that guy who ordered the firing, forcing Second Sister to jump off the cliff! If only Fifth Sister were here, she would be strong and fast, she should be able to fight against that superhuman, right?
The sky had already turned from light to dark, but the Tong sisters remained at the bottom of the pit, unwilling to go up, and continued their search again and again with unwavering determination.
Chen Linfeng prepared some food for them, but the sisters weren't in the mood and only ate a couple of bites before putting the food down.
"Third sister, fourth sister, what should we do?" Little Six Yu Xuan also cried, tears streaming down her face silently.
"Don't panic! Our older sister told us to stay calm and collected in the face of trouble! Since she left some safety instructions, let's just wait patiently."
The younger sisters were restless and paced around in circles. Yu Ling ordered, "Sit down, everyone. Let's cultivate for a while to recover our strength! Then we'll continue searching!" She forced herself to calm down and sat down first to steady her mind.
By the time the Ancient Martial Arts Special Operations Team arrived, it was already completely dark.
Each of them had a stern face and an upright posture, exuding a chilling aura; truly, they were the elite of the elite. They all descended to the bottom of the sinkhole carrying powerful flashlights. Song Changqing, who was leading the group, greeted the junior sisters from the Tong family, and then, unwilling to give up, searched the entire area once more!
The result was still fruitless, and disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.
"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, you should rest for a while and continue the search when it gets light," Tong Yuling said to everyone.
"Junior sister, this place is only so big. We still can't find our senior sister. Maybe they've encountered something strange..." said Captain Song of the Azure Dragon Squad.
In recent years, they have carried out very special missions and encountered non-natural phenomena. In addition to these special operations teams, there are other operations teams composed of individuals with "special abilities".
Unlike the superpowered individuals abroad, their abilities are not innate but cultivated, just like their practice of ancient martial arts. Among them are Taoist priests who can draw talismans and catch ghosts, as well as shamans who can predict the future or ask gods for help. He wondered if he could try to find these people.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Song. Big Sister left a mark, meaning it's safe. Let's wait a little longer!"
Yu Ling has calmed down now. She believes that her eldest sister's abilities are far more than what they have seen, and she no longer feels the fear she had at the beginning. Her intuition tells her that although her eldest and second sisters have encountered some trouble, they will return safely!
A unit of the Southwest Military Region
The prisoners who were escorted back began to be interrogated, and they quickly confessed everything they knew:
They were mercenaries who obeyed Dr. Mori and the two superhumans. Dr. Mori boasted that he was undertaking the great task of "creating a god," and that in the future his status would be equivalent to that of God.
They were not allowed to participate in the specific experiments he and the researchers were conducting. They were unaware of the entire research process; they only knew that every so often, a batch of bodies from failed experiments would be sent out, requiring their complete destruction!
Their job was to receive all sorts of people brought in by human traffickers, dispose of the bodies of failed experiments, and protect the researchers at the base. Occasionally, an experimental subject would escape, and they were also responsible for hunting down the escaped subjects and bringing their bodies back.
Over the years, we've probably brought in several thousand test subjects from neighboring countries! Two people escaped recently; one was killed and his body destroyed, while the other was sent to a hospital by the military for treatment.
In order to prevent them from revealing Dr. Mori's experiments, the superhumans were dispatched to kill them.
The military reacted quickly, sending people to intercept Jerry, the speedster, but he escaped. However, the experimental corpse was not taken away.
These reports were shocking. After analyzing their testimonies, Qi Zhongliang concluded that the base was conducting experiments to alter human genes! And the person killed at the military hospital was actually an escaped "experimental subject."
It's a pity that the man's body had already been cremated, so we couldn't get any relevant information or data about their experiment from his body!
Qi Zhongliang speculated that their so-called "creating gods" probably meant researching and creating "superhumans" with special abilities!
Once these genetically modified humans can be mass-produced, the human world will develop in unpredictable directions! Will those modified people turn into three-headed, six-armed, blue-faced, fanged monsters? That's terrifying!
He immediately reported the interrogation results and his own speculations, and at the same time increased manpower to closely monitor the border area and buffer zone, and to arrest anyone who crossed the border.
This matter attracted great attention from the higher-ups, who ordered that the Tong sisters be found at all costs and also sent another group of people with "special abilities" to the sinkhole.
They each used their own methods to search for the missing Tong Yuheng and Tong Yuyao. Some were divining with divination sticks, some were measuring with compasses, and others were beating the Wenwang Drum, its clanging and creaking a prayer for the gods to descend…
This once deserted place suddenly became lively!

After settling Yuyao in, Tong Yuheng, led by Sun Desheng, toured several villages around Feixian City. She wanted to quickly understand the actual situation there and find a way to get out.
Because of her attire and background, she attracts crowds wherever she goes. People are friendly but also curious, and some questions are asked repeatedly.
Knowing her high cultivation level, Sun Desheng was afraid she would get annoyed and lose her temper from all the questions, so he answered most of them for her. It's well known that cultivators aren't known for their good tempers, and he had never met a cultivator with such high cultivation and a good temper as her.
Tong Yuheng patiently answered some people's questions, saying that she needed to understand the situation here as soon as possible and find a way out, and only then did everyone let her leave.
She gained some insights from her tour: the villages were situated according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) orientation, surrounding Feixian City.
Even with her limited knowledge of formations, she could tell that this arrangement was the basic structure of many formations. As for the functions to be set up later, those varied greatly, and she, a complete novice, had absolutely no idea!
