Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

For merchant groups that want to do business on the island or transship goods.

Maintaining close cooperation with the Island Lord's Mansion is a good opportunity to bring the two sides closer together, especially with those merchant groups that had not previously written letters of recommendation to help Wu Heng become the island owner.

I want to seize this opportunity for cooperation.

They all look quite enthusiastic.

As for Wu Heng, he actually wants Shannara to help him with the caravan's purchases.

However, Shannara had just returned to the Wood Elves, and it would take some time for her to come back.

The Star Flower merchant group representative was also present, with the same status as the other merchant group representatives.

"These are the items I need to purchase. Please take a look at them first." Wu Heng took out several arranged material lists and handed them to the representatives of the merchant group present.

The material list was reorganized by the mechanic.

Including 3mm copper plate, white gunpowder, lead and other materials.

White powder is similar to smokeless gunpowder in the modern world, the difference lies in the material.

The gunpowder in this world is mixed with the scale powder of fire-type monsters.

The machinist made adjustments when organizing the materials.

People from various business groups looked at the list of materials, some showed joy on their faces, while others shook their heads helplessly.

Someone stood up and said, "Island Master, at the previous auction of the Snake Emblem Consortium, we won the copper mining rights in the east of Rochefort, which can supply your copper needs."

Another person also stood up and said, "Sir, we also export a lot of copper mines, and we can also make them according to the specifications you need and send them to you."

"White powder, we can provide..."

"..."

Several people stood up one after another and said what materials they could cooperate with.

Wu Heng sat on the side and listened.

Everything went smoothly, which made me feel relieved.

He waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down.

He said, "Go back and make a list of the types of materials and prices you can work with, and send them directly to the City Hall. We will select a few companies to sign agreements and make purchases based on the prices and transportation conditions. You don't have to worry about the money, it will be settled normally."

"Yes, yes!" Everyone nodded in flattery.

"That's it for now. Please give us your quotes as soon as possible so that we can choose one later." Wu Heng said.

Everyone stood up, saluted, and walked outside together.

……

Wait for everyone to leave.

Wu Heng also left the association directly.

Take the carriage back to the island owner's manor, put on the [conductor's hat], and the ghost train will appear.

Go directly to the 'Nenaile City' of the Yeko Kingdom.

The train stopped in a deserted place, and Wu Heng went straight into the city wearing a cloak and veil.

Not like before.

At this time, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets of Netale than in the past few days. Everyone was in a hurry and many shops were closed.

At the alchemy shop and mineral shop, I temporarily purchased some materials, and then went to the semi-underground Snake Emblem Consortium in the Mermaid Tavern.

The Snake Emblem Group is not as lively as before.

Two people were standing in front of the notice board, chatting in low voices.

Wu Heng walked directly into the reserved room.

Not long after, a strange young woman walked in cautiously.

He glanced at Wu Heng and said respectfully, "Sir, are you here to exchange potions?"

Wu Heng looked at the other person and nodded, "It wasn't you before, was it?"

"My young lady has something to do, so she arranged for me to wait here to trade with you. Don't worry, the young lady and I have explained everything." The other party leaned forward and spoke in a half-bowed posture.

Wu Heng continued to look at her.

The other party said again: "My lady also said that if you want to help her make the potion, the previous promise is still valid, and she can offer higher conditions."

I bring this up at this time to prove my identity.

After all, outsiders don’t know the conditions between the two, unless the blonde woman says it herself.

"Yes." Wu Heng nodded, took out two bottles of medicine and placed them on the table.

The woman in front of him also took out a brocade box from her space ring.

He opened it carefully, placed it on the table and pushed it over.

Inside is a corolla of brightly colored flowers.

【Fairy Crown】

(Description: A flower crown woven by a hermit fairy, with the effects of self-healing, nourishing the body, and animal language.)

This time it’s not a rare item, but a magic prop.

But the effect is still very good.

Some magic items are just as effective as rare items and have no side effects.

This 'Elf Crown' is pretty good, although it is not a combat item. Even if it has a self-healing effect, it is impossible to carry the crown in a battle.

It is mostly used after the war, or carried on daily basis to nourish the body.

The woman introduced softly: "The fairy crown has a self-healing effect equivalent to that of an intermediate healing potion. Wearing it on a daily basis can nourish the body and also give you the ability to communicate with animals and beasts."

It turns out that animal language really means exactly what it says: communicating with wild beasts.

Wait until the introduction is finished.

The woman asked carefully, "Sir, are you satisfied with the things?"

"Well, I'm quite satisfied." Wu Heng put it away directly.

The other party was satisfied when he heard this, smiled, and put the potion away.

After the transaction was over, Wu Heng asked, "Why are there so few people on the street?"

The woman shook her head gently. "I'm sorry, I can't say anything nonsense, and I don't want to be perfunctory with you."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

I was a little surprised by this answer.

He stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll go back first."

The woman saluted again.

Wu Heng walked out directly.

I didn't stay outside for long. I got on the ghost train in a deserted place and returned to Treasure Island.

……

Return to your residence.

Wu Heng sat in the living room and chatted with Minnie for a while. When they had rested enough, he went upstairs again.

Open the gate and go to the zombie world.

Some small amounts of purchased materials are added to the machines in the production chain.

Several people stood aside and waited silently.

Then, the sound of machines running was heard and everything started working.

The copper plates are cut into coin-sized discs, which are then squeezed into hollow shells through a machine.

Next comes the fixing of the bottom, the loading of gunpowder, and the fixing of the bullet.

Wu Heng had seen the drawings and understood the general process.

Qi Hancai and others saw the production of bullets for the first time and were full of curiosity.

But after the whole process was completed and the complete bullet was produced, it didn't feel that difficult to make.

"It may take not long for these materials to be produced," said Qi Hancai.

"I'll find a way then, don't worry."

Qi Hancai thought for a moment and said, "I can ask various places to collect some copper products, but gunpowder is difficult to collect."

"Well, then first collect some copper products, gunpowder and lead, and I will find a way."

"it is good!"

After some bullets were produced, Wu Heng stopped the machine from producing.

Collect the newly produced bullets.

They walked out of the factory together and came outside.

He handed the bullets to a skeleton holding a machine gun, "Replace them with this type of bullet."

The skeleton opened the magazine and loaded new bullets into it.

Shoot into the distance.

Bang Bang Bang ~!

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the bullets hit a wooden target in the distance.

There are no problems with the trajectory or range.

This also proves that not only is there no problem with the replacement of white gunpowder, but the bullets produced by the entire production chain are also up to standard.

"It looks like the effect is quite good." Qi Hancai said after looking at the wooden target.

"Well, it's really not bad."

Let the skeleton return to its post.

Wu Heng and Qi Hancai walked back together.

Return directly to your respective residences.

……

The next day, at the island owner’s manor.

Wu Heng was basking in the sun on a lounge chair while Minnie was tending to the flowers and plants in the flowerbed nearby.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the manor door.

Minnie wiped her hands on her apron and quickly ran to open the door.

Chatted with the people outside.

He came back with a letter in his hand.

"Master, there is a letter for you from the association, and it was sent directly here."

"A letter." Wu Heng sat up, took it and took a look.

He tore open the envelope and poured the letter out.

Lines of words appeared.

Wen Mansha's letter.

"Owner:

I was very happy that I had received the letter, but I was still scared when it suddenly appeared next to someone's pillow.

People can't be frightened now.

You said you would come back to see me, but several days have passed and there has been no news. I really can't wait any longer, so I wrote you a letter.

I just hope I don’t miss you and miss seeing it.

The city of Rentam has been a little uneasy recently. Two days ago, there were assassination attacks by gangs in the outer city. Several officials from the city hall were assassinated and there were signs of interrogation.

Through investigations and the arrests of several gangs.

Got some news that some high-level professionals came into the city and were planning something.

I have arranged personnel to increase patrols and guard duty in the city, but some officials still choose to leave due to pressure.

Deacon Slater came a few times, but he couldn't stay in the city for long, and there was nothing better he could do.

If the master were here, this would definitely not happen...

I just hope that I won’t do too badly and let down my master’s expectations.

Waiting for you to come back.

——Wen Mansha

Looking at the contents of the letter, Wu Heng frowned slightly.

The letters that had been sent before all said that the city of Rentam was doing very well, the city was developing rapidly, and tax revenues were continuing to rise.

In addition, Golden Cat is well managed and has become an entertainment center for surrounding cities.

A true city that never sleeps.

And today's letter clearly carries a sense of worry.

There are high-level professionals who assassinate officials and interfere with the development of 'Rentam City'.

A middle ground like the city of Rentam, which has no country or power support, is indeed the place where it is easiest to overthrow a regime.

It seems that I really have to go back.

"Is it Sister Wen Mansha?" Minnie asked from the side.

“So clever!”

"I knew it was her. She must be missing you so much that she's going crazy." Minnie said from the side.

Andvielle also said so.

Among the three maids in Rentam City, Wen Mansha is the clingiest.

It seems that Minnie thinks so too.

Wu Heng put the letter away and said, "There are high-level professionals causing trouble in Rentam City. This is what Wen Mansha said."

"Didn't you leave behind a high-level skeleton? Higher than that?"

The city of Rentam had not received much attention before.

Judging from the feeling of playing games in the past, it is more like a city around the Novice Village.

It is slightly higher than Black Rock Town, but far inferior to Treasure Island.

Level 15 is the top professional there.

At that time, Skull Crusher, a level 15 bandit leader from the Warhammer Party, almost took over the entire city.

But now the city's taxes have skyrocketed.

It attracted the attention of high-level professionals.

"Maybe they want to occupy it!" Wu Heng said.

Minnie looked over and asked, "Are you going back?"

"Well, let's go back and see if we can at least turn on the radio for her, so she doesn't have to write letters all the time."

"Yes, you should accompany Sister Wen Mansha then. It will be pitiful for her to stay there alone." Minnie said.

Wu Heng nodded, thinking about a plan to leave.

Treasure Island is now stable, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

It mainly depends on the zombie world.

There is still no result from the provincial rescue teams.

We need to solve the problem as quickly as possible and then go to Rentam City.

……

in the afternoon.

Go directly to the zombie world.

More people were transferred here, and the factory became more lively.

Wu Heng walked downstairs.

Qi Hancai also walked over quickly from outside, with a serious look on her face, "Come here for a moment."

Seeing her expression, he followed her to a location behind the building.

There was a corpse lying in the open space in the middle.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Someone's dead?"

Qi Hancai shook his head, "He is not one of ours. He was discovered climbing over the wall last night and was killed by the skeletons."

Not someone from my side.

Are you trying to climb over the wall to get in?

Wu Heng guessed, "From the provincial rescue team?"

After all, we have our own people here, and only the rescue team knows about it.

"It's possible. He's not wearing the uniform of the rescue team, but he's carrying a pistol, so it shouldn't be much different."

Wu Heng nodded and released [Talk to the Dead] directly on the corpse.

The corpse sat up from the ground, looking over here with cloudy eyes.

Wu Heng asked directly: "Which base are you from?"

The corpse replied, "Dongying Street, Little Rock Base."

Little Rock is where the rescue team built their base.

Some people call it the rescue team base, some people say it is the Little Rock base, it’s just called differently.

But it also confirmed their guess that they were from the provincial rescue team.

Wu Heng then asked, "What are you doing here?"

The corpse replied, "Boss Huang, we were given the task of collecting intelligence here in exchange for food."

Boss Huang!

You really don't give up.

Wu Heng asked again, "What kind of intelligence are you collecting?"

"The missing team, the defense plan for the plant, and what's going on inside."

The two looked at each other.

Qi Hancai didn't say anything, but his expression became more solemn.

Still collecting information about his own defense plan, the purpose is obvious.

Even if you don't intend to call, you have already made up your mind to call.

Wu Heng signaled Qi Hancai not to worry.

Continuing to look at the body, "Is it only Boss Huang who said this, or does the entire rescue team agree to come and investigate here?"

"It was only Boss Huang who did it without telling the other two forces in the rescue team."

last question.

"How many weapons and equipment does Boss Huang have?"

"Four armored vehicles and a lot of guns. I don't know exactly how many there are."

Five questions answered.

The body fell back onto the ground.

It seems that Boss Huang has already taken the blame for this matter on himself.

Whether he is really missing or died somewhere.

None of this matters anymore.

Just make sure you are here.
