I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1107 - 1207: Finally, Time to Go Home Again

This shout got everyone energized, not caring where they ended up. The priority now was to contact the people above.

So, Chu Zhuohua and his team got in touch with the people at the research institute, while Zhen Nantian and his group reached out to the top-level officials.

This news was too shocking and needed to be reported to the higher-ups as soon as possible.

As for Jing Shu, there was no need for her to worry.

Her secretary, Xiao Wang, directly contacted Jun Bao.

Jing Shu suspected that Jun Bao was guarding the phone 24 hours a day. As soon as the call connected, even before it rang, a deep voice came through:

"It’s me, any latest news? Speak."

Secretary Wang held up the satellite phone and switched to speaker, while Jing Shu held a lungfish in both hands, studying it while speaking briefly:

"Oh, we got out, and it’s all good news, but I don’t have time to go into details now. I have something that needs to be implemented immediately."

"Go on."

"The aircraft in Wu City—is it ours? Is there a fast one? Transport the essential ’Key’ for this new energy back to the South Sea. I’m afraid it might get snatched if we’re late. Also, let me check our current location—"

Jing Shu was still trying to determine their location. After all, the Heaven Mountain was vast, and ideally, they would have emerged within Wu City’s vicinity. But what if something unexpected happened?

Meanwhile, Jun Bao had already detailed the location displayed on Jing Shu’s satellite phone, providing a set of coordinates,

"No need to check; you’re currently outside Talbaha Mountain, on the Kazakhstan side. But it’s not a big deal; a plane will reach you within an hour. However, it is a fighter jet, so seating is limited."

"No problem, the others can return slowly." For now, it’s crucial to return Xie Jian Country; dealing with bureaucracy can wait.

This is the good thing about talking with Jun Bao.

Jing Shu only needed to give one request, and the other side would trust and execute immediately.

Jing Shu hissed at the realization that coming down from Heaven Mountain had brought them directly to a foreign country. Just how disordered had the apocalypse made the terrain?

Moreover, on the other side of Heaven Mountain from Wu City, there was an endless expanse of lungfish... Judging by this development, next year’s lungfish outbreak might be even more severe than in the South Sea.

Once Jun Bao arranged for a special plane to pick them up, Jing Shu finally had time to inquire about other matters.

However, based on the current situation, Jing Shu still asked, "How are the lungfish at the South Sea? Have they proliferated? We discovered a large number of them on the other side of Heaven Mountain."

If they were to return to Wu City, would these lungfish pose any threat? Jing Shu thought that maybe Heaven Mountain served as a barrier, so this time there might be nothing to worry about.

"However, lungfish are the best material to counteract acid rain and will be crucial for next year’s acid rain prevention. So if possible, they need to be fully utilized," Jing Shu thought.

Jun Bao was clearly uninterested in the lungfish, saying just a few words: "Globally, lungfish are proliferating in coastal areas. The South Sea is surrounded, and recent injuries have increased, but the situation is still under control. Your research institute has indeed come up with some findings; we can discuss those when you return. Can you update me on your end now?"

Jing Shu waved her hand, "Alright, let Xiao Wang do the talking."

Signaling to Xiao Wang, who immediately donned a professional smile, he said to the phone with a friendly demeanor, "Hello, I’ve prepared a work report and will now present it. First, we’ve discovered a new black energy with a massive total volume that can replicate any other energy and objects. If converted, it would be multiple times all of Huaxia’s current energy reserves... Second..."

On the other end, Jun Bao remained silent, but the speakerphone voice caused everyone in the conference room to pause and gasp in astonishment.

Jun Bao merely allowed a slight smile. He knew that dispatching Jing Shu on this mission was the right decision and justified his vigilance by the phone. In fact, he had someone monitoring calls 24/7 to avoid missing critical information.

As one piece of news followed another, everyone in the meeting room gasped again—truly impressive for someone favored by those in power!

This mission outside was initially thought to be overshadowed by another team, but now listen to this: they’re still trapped inside the secret realm and can’t get out.

So, does this mean the energy extraction rights belong to Wu City?

On the other side.

Jing Shu frowned while studying the lungfish here, knowing them well as the primary invaders of future disasters!

However, the lungfish in her hand had grown limbs, which was absurd and unscientific. In the previous life, nothing like this mutation had been heard of!

Originally without natural predators, wouldn’t the lungfish now become invincible?

Taking advantage of the crowd, with everyone busy, Jing Shu collected two cubic meters of lungfish into her space for research later to understand how these differed from the South Sea’s lungfish.

If they were to migrate back to Wu City, the area outside Heaven Mountain with its ocean and lungfish posed a significant threat to guard against!

An hour later, the combat helicopter circled in the air before landing.

After a discussion among the team, it was decided that Jing Shu would return to the South Sea with Xie Jian Country, Zhen Nantian as the military force support, and, of course, Su Malie as the good luck charm to ensure safety and success in upcoming tasks.

So the four of them headed to the South Sea first, while the others camped in Wu City, as future energy extraction operations were involved.

Once aboard the helicopter, Jing Shu took advantage of the signal to tag everyone in the Loving Family Gathering @ the Jing Family group, sending over a dozen photos. These were pictures Jing Shu took of beautiful sceneries with night mode, including the white and majestic Heaven Mountain snow peaks and various wonders inside Heaven Mountain.

The main goal was to ease her family’s worries while being away.

Then, she sent a voice message: "Grandpa, cook more tonight, Su Malie and I will be back for dinner. Cousin and cousin-in-law will continue to station in Wu City."

Grandma Jing: ’Voice message 60 seconds’.

"Oh, my dear grandchild, you’re coming back! Grandma misses you terribly. I’ll pick some of your favorite veggies from the backyard to cook an extra meal for you tonight, blah blah blah..."

Mrs. Jing: ’Voice message 28 seconds’.

"My darling daughter, I’m so envious of you traveling several times each year—as if you’re on vacation, running around the world. I miss the pre-apocalypse days with trains and planes; traveling anywhere was possible."

Mr. Jing...

The Jing family group became lively again.

Jing Shu smiled broadly, knowing that soon, she would finally be home again.
