An hour later.
Finally, Lu Heng helped them load all the movable supplies into his space.
After obtaining the storage bag, Liu Guodong no longer questioned Lu Heng's actions. He gathered with his old friends to study the bag in their hands.
A storage bag, a space capable of storing items, but why was the space compressed into such a small bag, and the items inside could even be preserved fresh? This was enough for them to study for a while.
Several scientists gathered, heads bowed, discussing something, and occasionally writing and drawing in their personal notebooks.
Lu Heng's arrival had opened up their understanding of new technological fields.
"Are all the people here?" Lu Heng glanced at Liu Guodong, who had stopped paying attention and was engrossed in studying the storage bag with his old friends, then asked Zhang Ting, who was beside him.
"Yes, everyone is here. But how will these over twenty thousand people get to Wuming City?"
"It will take several trips to transport everyone." However, Lu Heng had already sent out the golden eagle. He tied a letter to the eagle's leg, which was to be taken back to Lin Yu. Lin Yu should have already arranged for people to pick them up.
The base now had eight military transport planes. After these planes were modified, partitions could be added inside, making it possible to carry these people back without issue, although they would not have fixed seats and might feel uncomfortable being squeezed together.
"Wait a moment. You arrange the personnel, dividing them into groups of over two thousand people. And do you have anyone here who can fly military transport planes?"
He had kept one of each type of plane from his space.
"Yes, but we only have two ordinary helicopters here, not the transport planes you mentioned."
"Find the people."
After speaking, Lu Heng found an open space and released the transport plane from his space directly onto the ground.
"Damn it, Old Zhao, look over there quickly. I remember there was nothing there just now."
The soldiers gathered in the open space looked at the suddenly appearing planes and started to discuss.
"Yeah, pinch me. It's too strange in the base today. Why did they suddenly ask us to gather? Are we here to watch a magic show?"
"I don't know, but this magic is too realistic. How did such a big thing appear?"
"I want to go over there and see if the plane is fake, maybe it's made of paper or some high-tech projection?"
"Ask the squad leader, I want to go see too."
"Captain, I want to go see if the plane over there is real."
"Everyone be quiet and wait for the leader's instructions." As expected of the captain, even though he also really wanted to go see.
Soon, their doubts were confirmed. Several soldiers who walked out of the ranks were arranged to board the plane, and then the plane began to make various debugging sounds.
"It really is a real thing!"
"Yeah, but how did it appear?"
"I don't know."
"......"
While everyone's attention was drawn to the plane, Lu Heng looked at the personnel who had been arranged and divided into several groups.
"I'll go add partitions to the plane. You arrange a group of personnel to prepare to board."
"Yes." Zhang Ting nodded and gave a few instructions to the person next to him.
Lu Heng walked to the transport plane and looked at the huge space inside. After finding a spot, he touched the interior of the plane and added a partition to the cabin.
He also laid a layer of vines on the partition for people sitting inside to grab onto during takeoff and landing. After all, there were no seats inside, and they were all piled together, which could be somewhat dangerous during takeoff and landing.
"What? Don't you only have ice and fire elemental abilities?" Zhang Ting, who had been following Lu Heng and waiting for arrangements, was astonished by Lu Heng's actions.
"Yes, I do have ice and fire, but I never said I didn't have other abilities."
"......"
Alright, their thinking was too limited. Zhang Ting silently decided that after arriving at Wuming City, he must inquire further about Lu Heng's information.
Of course, his intention was not to pry into anything, but he wanted to understand more about the leader who had already incorporated him.
Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and said nothing. At this moment, a high-pitched bird cry came from the sky. The golden eagle circled high above and notified Lu Heng with its thoughts.
"Master, the plane is not far behind me."
A moment later, the loud buzzing sound of a plane approached from a distance. Those in the base who had been quietly discussing became nervous.
Such a loud noise could easily attract nearby zombies.
Although their location was relatively secluded, it was possible that as these planes flew over, they would attract ground zombies following the sound towards them.
"Alert, go to the high tower for alert." Zhang Ting hurriedly commanded the people below.
"No need to be nervous. Since I've incorporated you, your safety has been entrusted to me from the moment you were incorporated. I will not let you be in danger."
"But, such a loud noise, the zombies..."
"Tell them to maintain their formation and watch quietly, and find a few people to direct the plane's landing." Fortunately, this base had a runway, as they used to transport large equipment here.
Lu Heng smiled at Zhang Ting, then walked towards the source of the sound.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Lu Heng released his contract animals with long-range attack abilities from his space.
"No way, is this that magician? Why did he conjure up a bunch of animals again?"
"What can these animals do? An eagle also flew by just now, but it looked larger than a normal eagle."
"I don't know, let's just watch. Didn't they tell us to stay quiet?"
"How can I stay quiet? Didn't you hear the plane's sound? It's definitely going to attract a large number of zombies. Although there are no zombies here, there's a small town in that direction, and the zombies there have never been cleared."
"What are you going to do then? Obey orders. If it's really bad, the guns are in our hands. Remember to save a bullet for yourself."
The soldiers in formation here were not too panicked. Although everyone was a little nervous inside, the concept of military obedience overriding everything else kept them in formation.
They all looked towards the direction of the plane's sound. When the first plane appeared in the sky, the dense horde of zombies rushing from the ground also appeared in everyone's eyes.
However, those zombies did not howl and approach them too closely. The animals that had been by the base's fence had, at some point, all gathered outside the fence.
They lined up, ready for battle, facing the howling zombie horde opposite them without any panic.
"How come I feel like I'm not as good as those animals."
"Indeed."
