Chapter 176 Welcome Back to the Free World
Wu Xie and Bai Haotian, who were running, stopped immediately.

The mysterious White-Haired Lion King sensed the surrounding environment and saw insect fog coming from all around.

Then he immediately said to Wu Suowei and the other two, "Follow me!"

Hearing his words, Wu Xie's face lit up with joy, and then he threw away the bell on his body. The three of them followed Wang Junyi into a room.

This room has many iron doors to prevent insect fog, so safety issues do not need to be considered for the time being.

The three of them took a look at the decoration inside. The space inside was very spacious and there were cargo boxes everywhere.

Wang Junyi started to cough in front of everyone. Wu Xie looked at his back, and when he got better, Wu Xie's eyes were filled with joy.

"Are you Wang Junyi? The one who keeps sending me messages?"

Wang Junyi turned around and pointed at three people: Wu Xie, Bai Haotian, and Wu Suowei.

After confirming it, the four of them started chatting around the fire. Wu Suowei took a pot of wine and began to taste it.

This is not an ancient wine or an old wine, but a very ordinary bulk wine.

But the reason why it’s expensive is because of its safety. It’s not as good as the wine outside and your mouth will taste like industrial alcohol.

It’s good to be in this place.

According to Wang Junyi, he is Wu Sanxing's friend, and the reward he prepared for Wu Xie and Bai Haotian is a very long story.

Thirty years ago, ancient relics were discovered in the mountainous area of ​​the southwestern border, crossing the border between the two countries. Wu Sanxing led a team to lead Tian Youjin and Chen Wenjin to assist in the investigation.

They encountered a suspicious team on the way and tried to find out their background.

Wu Sansheng and his men pretended to have a conflict with the other party, who pretended to be members of the National Meteorological Team, but they were exposed.

Because they all carried guns and were the country's militia, I believed it.

After being dealt with by this group of people, Wu Sansheng and his friends saw the other party's thunder-listening ceremony.

Looking at their strange behavior, Wu Sansheng determined that their true identities were tomb robbers, but the three of them were discovered by the tomb robbers.

In the end, the thunder determined their life or death. Listening to what Wang Junyi said, the three men frowned.

Then Wang Junyi continued: "The leader did not kill Chen Wenjin and Wu Sanxing. Instead, he controlled Chen Wenjin in order to coerce Wu Sanxing and Tian Youjin to find someone for them."

"Who?" Wu Xie asked doubtfully.

"Those people want your uncle and his men to come to the dead zone of Warehouse 11 and take someone out."

The two found the man, but Tian Youjin was attracted by the valuables in the dead zone. He tried to use the camera that monitored the entrance to the dead zone.

He gave the wealth here to all the upper-level warehouse managers who had transactions with him.

A road leading to the outside of the dead zone was opened.

"Tian Youjin didn't let Wu Sanxing take the man out, so Wu Sanxing thought he couldn't get out. So he found a camera and recorded everything Tian Youjin did."

"So that it can serve as a clue in the future and allow future generations to understand the truth."

Wu Sansheng couldn't get out, so he kept observing the person they were looking for.

That person was inconspicuous in the warehouse area and had been listening to thunder in the dead zone.

Wu Sansheng recorded the man's strange behavior with a camera.

After a long period of observation, it was discovered that the man had the habit of listening to thunder.

That person said that the source of the thunder was in the ancient country of the South China Sea. Your third uncle believes that this may be a major archaeological discovery.

So he used the road opened by Tian Youjin and escaped with the man.

A group of archaeological teams were organized to visit the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea.

When they heard Wang Junyi finally talk about Ting Lei and the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea, Wu Xie and Wu Suowei both sat up straight unconsciously.

As expected, Third Uncle went to the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea.

This recollection seemed to have consumed a lot of Wang Junyi's energy. He rested for a while before continuing: "This is the origin of Project 044. I heard that they encountered huge risks in the underground palace and knew about Thunder City."

“When they came out of the underground palace, they were greeted by the fake weather team.

They threatened Yang Daguang and Mu Xuehai and forced your uncle to research and search for Leicheng.

Later, Yang Daguang died, and Mu Xuehai went crazy. And your third uncle was coerced to lead the team to Leicheng."

Wang Junyi's words confirmed Wu Xie's previous guess.

Wu Xie couldn't help but feel happy: "My Third Uncle was indeed coerced."

In Wu Xie's heart, his third uncle has always been an upright person. He would never do these things if he was not forced into doing so.

"Some time ago, I suddenly received a message from your third uncle and learned that he was forced to go to Leicheng. In my opinion, it was a cry for help."

Having said that, Wang Junyi withdrew his gaze from the campfire and looked at Wu Xie with the same emotion as he looked at an outstanding junior.

"Back then, he often mentioned you to me. Now you have come here with my guidance, which shows your ability. Go to Leicheng to find your uncle."

Wu Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes. This old man was really causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to just let them go to Leicheng?
Wang Junyi seemed to see through Wu Xie's thoughts and explained: "If you don't come here first and go directly to Leicheng, that's a dead end."

Wang Junyi did not explain in detail why it was a dead end, and said directly:
"Okay, I'll give you the final reward you deserve now."

"Don't you want to know more about Leicheng?"

Patting his knees, Wang Junyi stood up with some difficulty and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to where your third uncle used to live."

Wu Xie was cheered up. Although his Third Uncle was no longer in this dead zone, given his character, he must have left many clues.

With these clues, they will definitely find their uncle. The three of them followed Wang Junyi and moved forward in the complicated dead zone.

Wang Junyi has lived in the Dead Zone for decades. To him, the Dead Zone is like home.

With his guidance, Wu Xie and his friends never encountered the mysterious black shadow again.

Finally, they came to a remote corner.

This corner was surrounded by cargo boxes, forming a temporarily safe environment. Wu Xie stood in the corner, looking around, and suddenly felt heartbroken.

How could this be a normal living environment? The bed was made of a few boxes, and the table was also made of boxes. Apart from that, there was nothing else that looked like a normal living environment.

Only the newspaper clippings and stickers on the wall made up of a row of cargo boxes give this simple corner some hint that someone once lived here.

"No one knows what's going on in your uncle's mind. You are his closest nephew, so you should know his thoughts better than me."

Wang Junyi's eyes stayed on the clippings, which were all the information collected by his uncle over the years.

This also includes his research on the Thunder Listener.

Wu Xie was already shocked by his Third Uncle’s perseverance. Only his Third Uncle could persist in collecting such a large amount of information and notes.

"I hope you find it in Leicheng. My mission is accomplished."

After saying that, Wang Junyi left the corner without looking back.

Wu Xie did not chase after him. He believed what Wang Junyi said. Since he said this was the final reward, then all the clues about his uncle must be here.

"Master San, what are those pictures on it?"

Bai Haotian took a closer look at the wall and discovered that text only accounted for a small part of these notes, and most of them were various kinds of paintings.

With her knowledge, she couldn't understand it at all. Wu Suowei took a look at the side and saw the essence of these pictures at a glance. He said:
"These are all time and coordinates, as well as some topographic maps."

Wu Xie nodded, indicating that he agreed with Wu Suowei's statement.

He watched it from the beginning excitedly, then took out his mobile phone and took pictures of every picture without missing any.

Seeing that there seemed to be something inside, Wu Xie immediately pulled open the paper and twelve large characters appeared inside.

Anyone who enters Thunder City can put aside all regrets!
Wu Xie's mind flashed with what his second uncle had said, and he immediately came to the conclusion that the artifact really existed.

Wu Suowei looked at the words above and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. Perhaps the artifact might exist, but at the same time, such a thing should not happen in the world.

If you want to get the artifact, you must pay a high price. Wu Suowei didn't believe it at all.

Everything here is guided by Wang Junyi. He believes that even if they find Leicheng, everyone will definitely return to Warehouse 11.

After all the information left by Uncle San in the Dead Zone was found, there was nothing left in the Dead Zone for Wu Xie and the others to stay.

They followed the route given by Wang Junyi and soon left the dead zone safely.

However, the people from Warehouse 11 were already waiting for them at the exit.

As soon as they came out, they were surrounded and arrested.

After a day of waiting, Warehouse 11 also made the final decision.

"Wu Xie, Wu Suowei, although you have repeatedly violated the regulations of Warehouse 11 and went to the death zone without permission.

However, based on your contributions to Warehouse 11, your merits and demerits offset each other, and you two are now expelled."

"As for you, Bai Haotian, you are temporarily suspended."

In the living area of ​​Warehouse 11, Wu Suowei and Wu Xie had already packed their daily necessities and were ready to go through the final departure procedures.

As soon as I went out, I saw Bai Haotian waiting at the door.

She was not wearing her formal work clothes, but the same white shirt she had worn before.

"I wish Xiaobai can find a boyfriend soon." Bai Haotian didn't say anything, Wu Xie took the lead in teasing,

"Are you planning on never washing these clothes?"

"But Xiaobai hasn't found a boyfriend yet, and you are leaving." Bai Haotian said with some reluctance.

"How can Xiaobai find a boyfriend when she stays in Warehouse 11?"

"She must go out more often!" Wu Suowei said jokingly.

Bai Haotian curled his lips helplessly: "But Xiaobai is from Warehouse 11, so he can only stay in Warehouse 11."

It is really a waste of talent for such a lovely person to stay in such a boring place for so many years.

"Thank you, thank you for always helping me." Wu Xie said sincerely.

Along the way, if it weren't for Bai Haotian's help, they would not have been able to find out the secret that Uncle Third left in Warehouse 11 so quickly.

Xiao Bai had tears in his eyes: "You need my approval to leave Warehouse 11. Do you want to write an application?"

At this point, Xiaobai couldn't hold back any more and tears welled up in his eyes.

Wu Suowei couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere, so he quickly picked up the file bag in his hand and tapped Xiaobai lightly on the head.

"You're acting in an idol drama, all you do is cry. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Now I'm leaving, see you later." After saying that, he left.

Wu Xie looked at Wu Suowei's back as he left and couldn't help but sigh:
"He's really becoming more and more like a young man. Do all people with great kung fu skills have this problem? Are they all so cold and cruel?"

After that, he turned back to Bai Haotian and said, "I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow for the specific time. I'll ask you again then!"

After saying that, he walked out of the warehouse. Halfway through, Wu Xie turned around with a reluctant look and looked at the running surveillance.

He knew that the warehouse clerk inside had been staring at the surveillance camera, watching the two of them.

Wu Xie bowed to them and said goodbye.

Yu Guangzhong watched his actions, Wu Suowei rolled his eyes and pointed two fingers towards the surveillance camera.

He only left a handsome back view to the employees and leaders of the maintenance department.

The door of Warehouse 11 closed, and two people walked out of the door. Outside, there were also people waiting.

Fatty Wang, who was sitting in the car, looked at the two people walking out the door and immediately went to greet them with his arms open.

"Welcome back to the free world."
