Chapter 1786 Gathering
Could it be that the corpse in the sarcophagus had begun to revive because it sensed the aura of the virus in his body?
The spawns should have set some restrictions in the sarcophagus, and they should be able to suppress it for a short period of time.
The people from the Federation did not sense the changes in the sarcophagus. After resting for a while, the leader of the Federation team led more than ten soldiers into the room. The soldiers worked together to lift the sarcophagus from the ground and load it into the military truck at the back.
Nasto took the lead and followed, "Let's go. We'll follow and escort the sarcophagus."
Fang Heng was worried that getting close to the sarcophagus would speed up the resurrection of the corpse, so he and Lu Yanlong boarded another truck and left with the team.
Lu Yanlong had been working continuously for six hours using his spatial science ability. Moreover, it was a high-intensity concentrated work. Lu Yanlong couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. He kept yawning along the way.
Fang Heng was still in good spirits. He secretly memorized the truck's route along the way.
Soon, the vehicle and the sarcophagus arrived at the outskirts of another large mausoleum guarded by the Federation.
This mausoleum was not as big as the central mausoleum, but it looked very strange overall. It was built on a mountain range, and most of the mausoleums were located inside a cave.
The entire mausoleum had been cleaned up by the Federation.
The truck stopped at the entrance of the mausoleum.
Immediately, a team from the Federation surrounded them.
Nasto got out of the car and briefly communicated with the federal team. He waved to Fang Heng and the other players who had accepted the commission and said, "Wait, let's escort the sarcophagus into the mausoleum together. It's an important place guarded by the Federation. Don't wander around."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Soon, under the arrangements of the federal team, the sarcophagus was transported into the cave mausoleum area.
Fang Heng followed behind the team.
The mausoleum was built on the mountain range, and the space inside was several times larger than a normal small mausoleum. There were also many forks inside.
Fang Heng followed them all the way until they passed through a long corridor. A vast cave appeared before his eyes.
Cave?
Fang Heng was curious.
This place was different from the mausoleums he had seen before.
On the walls of one of the caves, there were special patterns, murals, and inscriptions.
"Interesting..."
Fang Heng muttered softly and took a few more glances at the stone wall.
Previously, he had never encountered such a stone wall even in the main mausoleum.
There was no doubt that the words carved on the stone wall were the words of the spawns.
Unfortunately, the Black Castle team was not around, so they could not decipher the meaning of the words.
Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the center of the cave.
There were three stone sarcophagi on the ground.
A few federal soldiers carried the sarcophagi that had just been escorted in from outside the cave and carefully placed them together with the previous three.
Fang Heng stared at the sarcophagi on the ground.
He had a vague feeling that the three sarcophagi contained the same remains.
Nasto clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the players in the cave. He continued, "Thank you for your hard work. Today's mission has been completed. The Federation team will bring you back to the federal camp."
"In addition, this is the Federation's sealed control area. Everyone, please forget everything you saw and heard here today. Please do not disclose it to the outside world."
"There will be similar commissions in the future. If you are willing to receive commissions for a long time, you can contact me."
Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong looked at each other, feeling strange.
The commission was completed just like that?
Before they could figure out why the Federation had gathered all the sarcophagi here, the Federation had already started to chase them away.
Did he really just come here to be a coolie for nothing?
Fang Heng asked in a deep voice, "Long-term commissions? Are they all similar to clearing the spatial barrier and moving the sarcophagus?"
Nasto glanced at Fang Heng.
This was the first time Fang Heng had taken the initiative to ask.
"Yes."
Fang Heng frowned, feeling even more confused.
So the Federation seemed to be preparing to gather more sarcophagi here?
What were they trying to do?
"That's all for today. I hope we can continue working together next time."
Nasto waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to take Fang Heng and the others away.
Soon, other than the three Federation members, the rest of the people left the Federation base under the escort of the Federation soldiers. They boarded the truck and returned to the federal camp.
Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong were silent all the way. They got off the truck halfway to the federal camp.
After watching the truck drive away, the two of them exchanged glances.
Fang Heng asked, "You also think there's a problem?"
"There's no need to look. The Federation is so careful. They even sealed off the outer area of the mausoleum to prevent anyone from approaching." Lu Yanlong pursed his lips and continued, "Based on my many years of experience dealing with the Federation, there is most likely some hidden special side mission here. The blockade is just to keep the things for themselves."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Fang Heng nodded in agreement and looked in the direction of the mausoleum.
He was even more curious about what the Federation was up to.
Theoretically, the remains of the central mausoleum had been completely destroyed, and the secret research room on the second floor of the mausoleum had been mostly moved by him.
The main mission had come to an end.
Was there anything else that he had overlooked?
If he could think of a way to get Dodd's team to come over and analyze the spawns' language in the mausoleum's cave, he should be able to find some clues.
Lu Yanlong noticed that Fang Heng was looking at the mausoleum with a malicious gaze again, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Ahem, Mr. Fang, are you trying to sneak in? Why don't we go back first? It's not easy to deal with the Federation..."
Fang Heng retracted his gaze.
It made sense.
The guards in the mausoleum were not weak.
Moreover, he still did not know what the Federation's goal was. If he rushed in rashly, it would be very difficult for him to discover anything if he searched aimlessly.
Seeing Fang Heng's hesitation, Lu Yanlong quickly changed the topic, "Right, Mr. Fang, the preparations at the mine are almost done. Why don't we go back first? Don't bother about the Federation. Earning money is more important, don't you think?"
Fang Heng's attention was attracted again when he heard the words "earning money".
It made sense.
Earning money was more important.
There were still many mines waiting to be mined.
Moreover, the main goal of the current mission was to level up.
There was no need to continue wasting time with the Federation.
There were still commander-level mutated beasts in the mining area.
The mutant crystal conversion device provided by the Federation also needed to be tested on the spot.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng no longer hesitated.
"You're right. Let's go back and take a look."
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Two Lickers that had been following the truck all the way came out from the bushes at the side. They quickly formed two meat cocoons on the spot and quickly mutated into fusion Tyrant forms.
Fang Heng skillfully jumped behind the fusion Tyrant form and called out, "Lead the way, let's go."
