Did that figure come here, and is this fire he set?
Even though the two men had conflicting goals, they split into two teams due to their large numbers, totaling about thirty people, to complete their respective tasks.
"Commander, look at these people... how could they end up in such a shape?"
Just then, Eleven and his group quickly discovered the bodies of Kendia and others.
The bodies were already lined up, the fire hadn’t reached here yet, but it was close; a few steps later it might have burned them.
Some people, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but turn around and vomit!
Some with less experience even fainted on the spot upon seeing this sight!
Eleven stepped forward to take a look, his brow furrowed in an unmistakable frown; he had never seen such a way of dying!
The entire body was intact, but the head looked as if it had been scorched by intense fire, leaving only the stark white bones!
How could they burn like this?
Eleven was bewildered, he’d never seen such a thing, not even heard of it!
"Report to the commander, these bodies died in a very strange manner, it’s impossible to identify them!"
A forensic expert in the team conducted a preliminary identification of the bodies at the scene, but he was completely shocked, there were no facial features at all!
To reconstruct the deceased’s facial features, they would either need to obtain DNA samples or hire a bone artist to draw based on the skull’s white bones!
Neither of these could be done in a short period.
Eleven sighed deeply, feeling that he was still late to the scene, unable to fully reconstruct what had happened here!
He couldn’t understand how these bodies were formed, or whether the cultivator from Jingli Mountain had been here, whether it was his doing?
Too many questions, numerous possibilities floated in Eleven’s mind, making his head ache.
Soon, the group of Ta Ta and his team managed to put out the fire in the bushes completely and then headed toward Eleven.
Seeing the stark white bones on the ground, nearly everyone in Ta Ta’s group was overwhelmed, bending over and vomiting madly!
Ta Ta’s team, being from the Volcano Research Institute, were more of administrative personnel, and the experts who accompanied him were mainly exploration experts, who had never seen such a scene!
Even the seasoned personnel who have seen burnt corpses soon recover from it over time; however, these corpses seemed like the flesh on the skull had turned into charcoal!
The most seasoned among them, Ta Ta himself, couldn’t stop vomiting, fearing he wouldn’t be able to forget this scene for a long time!
Even horror films don’t depict such scenes!
Eleven glanced at Ta Ta and his team with some disgust in his eyes.
"Administrative staff remain as administrative staff; you should step aside from these bloody scenes!"
"You are destroying the crime scene!"
"We, we, we’ll step aside, just call us if you need us!"
Ta Ta pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed, he took his team of over ten people to retreat to the rear.
Then, Eleven’s emergency response team began to meticulously survey the scene.
Eleven himself donned white gloves and personally began sampling, photographing, and identifying these bodies!
He took close-up photos and collected evidence from nearly a dozen corpses, and Eleven finally discovered something.
These people seemed to mostly belong to Atlantis, judging from their skin color, body odor, and hair.
There were guns left behind around them, though the bullets had all been fired!
It showed there had been a fierce gunfight, but no one was found dead from gunshots, which was very odd.
What’s more peculiar is their heads seemed to have been scorched by some ultra-high-temperature fire, burning the skin and hair on the skull, even the bone marrow inside the head turned to ash!
Only the throat bones remained, still connected to the body!
There was no sign of lava flows around, and the fire seemed to have been ignited recently, presumably by someone wanting to destroy the scene, rather than the direct cause of their death.
"Commander, there’s a female corpse! The face is intact!"
A forensic expert found a female corpse, Helena who had previously poisoned herself, Lin Beichen hadn’t attacked her with the Fire Element.
Upon hearing this, Eleven hurriedly stood up and rushed to the location of the female corpse.
Sure enough, as stated, it was very intact!
"Take them all back!"
"Especially this female corpse, send it to the autopsy room, no one else is allowed to touch it!"
Eleven’s eyes fixed on the female corpse on the ground, he immediately issued an order to take her back for thorough research.
The site collections were nearing an end, the team prepared stretchers and began to transport the bodies.
....
....
At this moment, in the air over the coast of the Divine Light Country, six identical helicopters were flying.
It seemed they were circling and intersecting.
Eventually, the six helicopters split into six different directions, heading toward different sea areas.
Lin Beichen was on one of them, heading directly to the open sea.
The other five helicopters were arranged by Zou Ming to mislead the Divine Light Country’s air, sea, and landing radar detection, each acting as a decoy to ensure Lin Beichen’s safe arrival at the open sea.
Not only were the six helicopters serving as cover, but they were registered commercial drones, so even if detected by radar, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Volcanic eruptions were imminent, and wealthy merchants had their exclusive helicopters arranged for evacuation.
The destination couldn’t be revealed prematurely, so the helicopters kept circling, making it hard for the Divine Light Country’s military to guess their true flight path.
On the open sea, a ten-thousand-ton destroyer from the Great Xia Kingdom had been waiting for quite some time, already on high alert!
Communication instruments constantly maintained close contact with the helicopter Lin Beichen was on, despite being in the open sea, monitoring the Divine Light Country’s radar and missile systems.
Even if the helicopter was locked onto by the Divine Light Country’s military, the fire control radar on the destroyer was enough to provide fire cover and missile interception!
"We’re about to leave the Divine Light Country’s waters! Everyone, stay vigilant!"
Xin Yu instructed and then looked around cautiously; the calm sea reflected the sky’s colors under the dim light, appearing serene.
Lin Beichen sat by the window, also gazing at the scenery outside, the vast clouds, endless ocean from high above, the sea horizon was round!
Looking back at the Divine Light Country, its lights dwindled, seeming like a small island, the distance grew farther until the lights were swallowed by the darkness, and only the moonlight remained visible.
"I wonder how my classmates who went to Jingli Mountain with me are doing now."
"The trip to Jingli Mountain was fruitful, I wonder what impact this volcanic eruption will have on the Divine Light Country!"
"How many years will their economy regress?"
Lin Beichen stared out the window, feeling deeply moved, and spoke to himself.
Xin Yu was sitting next to Lin Beichen, relaxed as the helicopter left the Divine Light Country’s waters, listening to his mutterings, then chimed in with his thoughts.
"How many years the economy regresses is unknown, but this certainly will cause significant damage to the Divine Light Country, the volcanic ash has nearly covered the whole nation!"
"Next will be the volcanic aftermath, such as acid rain, earthquakes, floods, and a series of geological disasters!"
"Their insidious and evil actions doomed them from the start, economic setbacks are good, it prevents them from plotting against the Great Xia Kingdom!"
"This volcanic eruption should best annihilate the Divine Light Country entirely, eliminating a threat for the Great Xia Kingdom, since having them is like having a child wielding a knife behind you, waiting for the moment to take you down!"
The teammates joined in the conversation, expressing their innermost thoughts, having infiltrated the Divine Light Country for years, they finally had this chance to return to their homeland and speak their minds freely!
