Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

171: BackAs the return command echoed simultaneously in the minds of the three, three dazzling beams of light shot up from the newly renovated super fortress on Saka Star, precisely connecting to their respective returning Node Tower beacons.

The familiar sensation of being pulled by the Laws of the world washed over them.

Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi felt the light and shadows shift before their eyes, as endless streams of data swept past them like a rushing galaxy.

When their vision cleared, the two were standing safely back inside the familiar lobby of the New Jeju Node Tower in Luo Country.

All around them were the same hurried contractors, just returned from various trial worlds, their faces showing exhaustion, excitement, or sorrow.

Everything seemed to have changed very little since they left.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit understanding, quickly restraining the massive, earth-shaking aura they had possessed on Saka Star, reverting to the appearance of ordinary young people.

”Let’s contact Second Sister first to let her know we’re safe.” Lin Fei immediately took out his communicator.

The urgent priority was to reunite with their family as soon as possible, and then wait for news from Third Sister.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the vast Pacific Ocean.

In Lighthouse Country, deep within the Nevada desert, lay a top-secret Military Base codenamed ”Area 51.”

This was the core location for Lighthouse Country’s research into various black technologies and the training of transcendents.

The entire base was encased in layers of the most Advanced radar and defense Systems, with security tightened to the extreme.

Deep within the base, inside the Node Tower control center specifically used for monitoring and guiding the ”Precursor” project.

Accompanied by a shrill energy overload alarm and abnormal data streams jumping wildly across the holographic screens!

Hum—!!!

A massive, unprecedented beam of light, dazzling to the extreme and filled with the aura of sacred, high-dimensional Laws, descended without warning onto the central teleportation platform of the Node Tower!

As the light faded, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly appeared.

It was none other than Lu Zhifei!

”Alert! Alert! Illegal intrusion detected! Identification successful... Target confirmed as ’Precursor’ project missing researcher—Lu Zhifei! Codename: Prometheus!”

”She’s back!”

”Good heavens! She’s been missing for a full eight years! She actually came back alive!”

The control center instantly fell into a deathly silence, followed immediately by an uproar and incredulous screams!

After the initial shock, the general in charge of monitoring felt a fanatical, extremely greedy light erupt in his eyes!

A missing top-tier researcher!

What did this mean?

It meant she had likely survived for 8 years in a high-value world!

It meant she was carrying an unimaginable Treasure Trove capable of causing a qualitative leap in Lighthouse Country’s technology and transcendent power!

”Quick! Initiate the highest level of martial Law! Order the ’Freedom Eagle’ transcendent legion to mobilize immediately! Bring her back at all costs!” the general ordered in a hoarse voice. ”Remember! I want her alive! I want every piece of data in her brain!”

The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire Military Base!

Squads of fully armed soldiers wearing the most Advanced exoskeleton power armor surged toward the Node Tower from all directions.

In the sky, several Apache attack helicopters circled in, their dark cannon barrels and missile launchers locked tightly onto the slender figure standing on the teleportation platform.

Then, accompanied by the uniform, heavy footsteps that sounded like a torrent of steel!

A transcendent legion of a hundred members, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations, arrived at the scene!

Among them were Flame Warriors capable of controlling fire, Druids who could transform into giant bears, and Shadow Assassins with ghostly figures. Their leader was an S-rank transcendent known as the National Guardian, clad in Stars and Stripes armor and wielding a massive energy shield!

”Dr. Lu Zhifei,” the National Guardian stepped forward, his voice booming through the loudspeakers with unquestionable arrogance and authority, ”Welcome home.”

”Under the highest orders from the Pentagon, please come with us immediately to cooperate with our investigation.”

”You may be carrying a virus from that world, and we need to conduct further examinations.”

”This is for national security; I hope you can cooperate.”

His words were filled with a condescending, interrogative tone, as if Lu Zhifei were not a hero, but a suspect carrying dangerous items who needed to be immediately detained and interrogated.

Lu Zhifei listened quietly, her face devoid of any expression.

She merely raised her eyes. Those clear eyes, once filled with dedication to science and exploration, were now as deep as the endless starry sky, indifferently sweeping over these so-called elites who thought they controlled everything.

”National security?” She repeated softly, the corners of her mouth slowly curling into a cold, infinitely mocking arc.

”Just by relying on you?”

The moment the words fell!

Hum—————!!!

A terrifying pressure, indescribable in words, as if from an ancient deity and enough to make the entire planet tremble, descended with a boom!

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone!

Twelve Star Core Divine Weapons, each different in form but all radiating an aura capable of destroying the world, slowly emerged behind her, forming a slowly rotating, eternally radiant divine wheel!

The judgment power of the Judgment Blade! The light of wisdom of the Dawn Morningstar! The absolute defense of the Earth Divine Shield! The divine gaze of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment...

Twelve distinct, supreme powers of Law intertwined into a Domain that distorted space itself, completely enveloping the entire Freedom Eagle transcendent legion, along with the attack helicopters in the sky!

”My god...” The arrogant S-rank National Guardian’s energy shield let out a miserable groan under this pressure, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel directly!

All color drained from his face, leaving only boundless fear stemming from the deepest depths of his Soul!

What kind of power is this?!

This is no longer in the category of transcendents! This is... a god!

Lu Zhifei couldn’t even be bothered to waste any more words on these ants.

The divine wheel behind her flashed!

The rune of the [Earth Divine Shield] lit up, and an invisible repulsion field instantly deflected all incoming attacks!

Immediately after, the rune of the [Judgment Blade] lit up!

A slender, dark golden sword light containing endless destructive power flashed out from the divine wheel!

There was no explosion, no roar.

But on the ground in front of the transcendent legion that had surrounded Lu Zhifei, thinking themselves impregnable, a bottomless, massive crack suddenly appeared!

The crack, like an impassable chasm, extended from one side of the legion to the other, clearly separating them from Lu Zhifei!

”Those who cross this line, die.”

Lu Zhifei left this cold, indifferent warning.

”Hmph~”

Afterward, she didn’t even glance at these elites who had long since been scared out of their wits.

The runes of the [Phase Walker Boots] flashed.

Her figure instantly became blurred and distorted, and then, as if she had never existed, she quietly disappeared from the spot.
