Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.
Chapter 725, Negotiating Remuneration (1 update today.)
Shannella sat down beside her, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He said calmly, "You have also seen the content in the newspaper. Wu Heng obviously wants to help you gain some advantages in the competition for the throne."
Brittany frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You should tie yourself to him to have any hope of getting the throne back."
Brittany shook her head. "I have discussed this matter with the Lord of Wuheng Island, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of helping me fight for the throne. He only said that as long as I stay on Treasure Island, he will protect my safety."
Shannella smiled gently, "You can promise more. With his age and the speed at which he levels up, he will definitely reach level 18. Any country or royal family will want to recruit him. There is no loss for you to make some promises in advance. After all, only when you sit on the throne will those things be yours."
Brittany's eyes opened, but the words on the tip of her tongue remained unspoken.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I understand. Thank you, Madam Shannella, for reminding me."
……
Zombie world.
Wu Heng boarded a truck and started to return to the central shopping mall.
In the afternoon, Li Yahong took him to several factories to check the results of the skeletons' learning.
After confirming that normal production was possible, some machinists were arranged to start labeling and recording the machines.
After being disassembled and packed, it will be transported to the factory in another world.
After all, purchasing raw materials there will save a lot of trouble.
"Are there any progress in the development of the pills?"
Li Yahong answered while driving, "No news has been sent back yet. I'll ask when I get back."
Wu Heng nodded and didn't say much.
The Skeleton Alchemist is conducting research there, so there is no possibility of him being lazy or slacking off.
So there is no way to urge it.
"Should we make an appointment right away with the front desk, or postpone it?" Li Yahong asked again.
"Ask them for their opinions. We are always available."
"I'll ask them what they think first and try to get them to come over."
"it is good!"
The two chatted casually and started to return to the central area.
Li Yahong went to take care of her own business.
Wu Heng also returned to his dormitory, opened the gate and returned to Treasure Island.
……
Walk out of the gate.
Wu Heng released the three ghosts to move freely, and then he went downstairs and walked outside.
Before I even stepped onto the first floor, Minnie came over and said, "Master, Philippa has contacted you via the radio."
"I'll go over and take a look." Wu Heng went upstairs again and walked into the radio room.
I glanced at the Skull Investigation Record Book, and saw Philippa's "Are you there? Are you there?" written on it.
As soon as I saw these words, I knew it was nothing serious.
Still picking up the phone, he asked, "Philippa, can you hear me?"
Soon, Philippa's voice came over, "I'm here, what were you doing during the day?"
"You went out. Did something happen?" Wu Heng asked back.
"Today, Tapani, Gianvito and the dwarf investigator came to me and asked me to contact you and order some more newspapers." Philippa said directly.
"They want to order a newspaper? What for?"
“From what they said, they want to transport it back to the tribe. They probably want to use the popularity of the newspaper to increase their reputation.” Philippa replied and followed up with the analysis.
This is not difficult to guess.
The three of them also have roles in the story.
Especially this time when the Kingdom’s army surrounded and killed the Association’s investigation team, this incident itself was big news, plus it was a great detective story.
It will definitely generate heat and increase their reputation.
Of course, this is helpful to me too.
Wu Heng is the protagonist, and his reputation will be enhanced even more.
"How much do you want to order? I need to print more overnight." Wu Heng asked.
"Both Tapani and the dwarfs will order 10,000 copies, and Tapani will order 20,000 copies." Philippa said directly.
"I will print more today and arrange for a ship to deliver it. The price is 55 copper coins, which is the cooperation price with the big chamber of commerce." Wu Heng said directly.
"Okay, I'll go talk to them later." Philippa agreed, and then whispered, "Can I go back for a while? It's so boring here, and I miss you a little."
"Is there nothing going on over there?"
"It's okay. There's no problem with the route. The association has also arranged a naval cruise. Now I have nothing to do. I'm so idle. It's even more boring than when I was in Treasure Island." Philippa complained.
Philippa stayed there, mainly responsible for route safety.
It now seems that no one will disrupt the route at this time and attract the attention of the association.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing going on over there, so I'll come back and stay for a few days."
"Really? Then I'll go back after I finish talking to them about the newspaper."
"Tell Tapani in advance and tell him that you are going to inspect the route. Don't say you are coming back to rest." Wu Heng reminded again.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Philippa went on, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go and tell them about this."
Before Wu Heng could answer, the other party hung up.
Wu Heng looked at the communications from several other radio stations again to confirm that no one had left him a message.
Left the room and walked downstairs.
……
The next day, in the morning.
Wu Heng and the Corpse Demon Mechanic stood in front of the factory on the island, watching the Skeleton Mechanicians busy inside.
This morning, various equipment was transported to the factory here through the gate.
The machinists also began to assemble according to the previous numbers and records.
"My Lord Island Master, are there blueprints for these devices?" The Ghoul Mechanic 'Costas' asked calmly.
"We don't have these. You can study them. Just don't break them." Wu Heng said directly.
Learning blueprint knowledge is also helpful for the improvement of the machinist.
Especially the machinery in the modern world is very different from the equipment in the other world.
It is easier to bring enlightenment or learn new relevant knowledge.
"Thank you, Master Island Master." Costas thanked.
"Are all the equipment for the Netale City Power Plant ready?" Wu Heng asked again.
Costas nodded. "We are still preparing. We expect it to be fully ready within a week."
"Let me know when you're ready and I'll arrange for you to go over."
A week later, Philippa also returned from there.
Then we can arrange for them to go together and handle things more safely.
"Okay sir."
"I'll leave this place to you. Just come find me directly." Wu Heng said, and called a carriage to return to the island owner's mansion.
……
After returning to the island owner’s mansion.
Wu Heng returned to the study, opened the gate and returned to the zombie world.
On the other side of the gate, the factory in the zombie world had been emptied, leaving only a mess.
Walking out of the factory yard, Li Yahong and the convoy were waiting not far away.
"Let's go!" Wu Heng walked over and sat directly on the passenger seat.
Li Yahong also got on the car and gave the order for the convoy to start slowly.
"Just now the radio station reported that the people from the headquarters are on their way and will arrive at the train station around 2pm."
"So urgent?" Wu Heng was a little surprised.
"I guess the ghost has no solution at all, so it wants to come here so anxiously." Li Yahong said with a smile.
"Let's go. Let's go directly to the train station. There isn't much time left." Wu Heng said directly.
Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie and gave orders.
The convoy turned at the intersection ahead and headed towards the train station.
……
Around 2:30 in the afternoon.
The train arrives at the station.
These two trains are from the Xinfu City base, used to transport materials between Xinfu City and Yangtong City.
The car door opened and three people walked down quickly. The leader was Lu Changan, who had dealt with him several times.
The third-level commander of the headquarters is responsible for coordinating transactions with Wuheng.
The two people behind are also young and strong, and they should be acting as bodyguards.
Someone came out from the platform and led the three people.
He walked directly into a room inside the station.
When the door opened, Wu Heng and Li Yahong were seen sitting on the inner side.
"Chief Wu!" Lu Changan forced a smile.
"Commander Lu!" Wu Heng stood up and shook hands with the other party.
"Captain Wu, I heard that your special ability can restrain ghosts. I need your help in this matter." Lu Changan went straight to the point and said directly.
"Commander Lu, anyone who encounters a ghost will be in danger." Wu Heng looked embarrassed.
"Chief Wu can set the conditions. If they are within my authority, I can agree to them directly. If they are beyond my authority, I can't do anything about it." Lu Changan continued.
Completely different from the previous transactions, after Lu Changan came in, there was no nonsense.
It's all about dealing with ghosts.
"I need modern technology. Give me some high-tech talents." Wu Heng said directly.
Lu Changan frowned instantly, "Chief Wu, I can't agree to your request at all, and I can't tie him up for you."
Wu Heng continued, "Just tell me what your authority is."
"I'll give you five hundred level one corpse cores and two armored vehicles as your reward this time." Lu Changan said.
Wu Heng shook his head. "I need five level three corpse cores, ten armored vehicles, and whatever technology I need, you must provide me with the corresponding training and assistance."
"I promised you about the training. That's too many armored vehicles. I can provide you with five at most. I can also give you two more level-three corpse cores, for a total of seven." Lu Changan said.
Seeing that the other party was straightforward, Wu Heng didn't plan to say anything more and agreed directly, "Okay, I don't have any objection either."
"Then let me ask you, can we set off now? This matter is quite urgent. I can pay you the reward after we return." Lu Changan said.
Wu Heng glanced at Li Yahong, then at Lu Changan and the other two, "Commander Lu, please go back to the car and wait for a while. I need to make some arrangements here, and then we will go together."
"Okay, then we'll wait for you in the car." Lu Changan stood up and walked out directly.
Li Yahong asked, "Will it be dangerous if we go directly there?"
"It's unlikely, but we still have to be careful. I'll have Xiaoxiao keep an eye on them. Once we get to Yangtong City, we'll use our plane to go there."
"I'll follow you!"
"No need, you stay and look after the house. I'll tell you to do anything if there's anything you need."
Li Yahong thought about it and nodded.
After some preparation, Wu Heng walked out of the building and boarded the train to Yangtong City.
……
On the train.
Lu Changan and two other men sat opposite each other, while Wu Heng sat alone on one side with two skeleton attendants standing beside him.
"How did the ghost meet?" Wu Heng asked directly.
Lu Changan sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "We have a base that was attacked by ghosts. The personnel wanted to evacuate, but found that the ghosts were still following the team."
It seems that this group of people is quite important.
The headquarters paid such a huge price to get my help.
Wu Heng nodded, "What about the means of attack?"
"The means of attack is to seize control of a person's body and use it to attack other people. We basically have no means to deal with it." Lu Changan replied.
Possession is a basic characteristic of ghosts, and there is nothing special about it.
But for humans in this world, there is basically no solution to possession.
Even if you control the possessed person, the ghost will immediately possess the next person and you still have no way to solve the problem.
Once you are targeted, you are waiting to die.
"We also invited a few people from Taoist temples, the kind with certificates." Lu Changan added.
Wu Heng looked up curiously, "How is the effect?"
If he comes to me again, the problem must not be solved.
But he was also curious about whether some of the Taoist magic or talismans were effective.
"It doesn't have much effect. I'm not sure if it's a real effect or just a psychological effect. The news I've received is that it has reduced the intensity of the ghost's control over the body." Lu Changan replied.
Judging from what the other party said, the Taoist priest did not have any obvious effect.
Even if it really works, it does not meet the requirements of professionals.
Wu Heng didn't ask about it anymore.
Instead, he said, "Where are the people you mentioned trapped?"
"There is an airport in Xinggu City where we can land. Since there are ghosts following us, this team is stationed in the wild and should not have changed their location yet."
"Okay, I understand." Wu Heng nodded.
"Are you sure, Chief Wu?" Lu Chang'an continued to ask.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "At the moment, it shouldn't be a big problem. Let's see how it goes then!"
The train moved forward.
A few hours later, we entered Yangtong City.
Gao Rong was already waiting at the airport, having arranged the base's aircraft and more than a dozen skeleton flying dragons.
The pilots at the base were trained skeletons who had completed several flight tests with no problems at all.
Prepared a bit.
Lu Changan also boarded his own plane and took another one.
Soon, the station's plane left.
The planes at the base also took off and left, accompanied by several flying dragons.
……
Wrentam City.
The Skeleton Knight galloped all the way, rushed directly into the city gate and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After entering the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, he dismounted and handed the letter in his hand to Wen Mansha.
Wen Mansha sat on the city lord's throne, feeding her child while taking the letter.
letter?
Or the letters used by the association.
He handed it to the butler beside him and said, "Open it and see who wrote it?"
The butler tore open the envelope, glanced at the contents and said, "This is a letter from Deacon Slater. It says that Master Wu Heng has arranged a spy to investigate the intelligence of the cult. The news was recently passed to her. I hope you can pass the news to Wu Heng."
"Cult? Where did the news reach Slater?" Wen Mansha's brows were still frowned.
"The city of Erjiro in the Kingdom of Yeko."
The army of Netale City surrounded and killed the headquarters investigation team, which was related to the cult.
This time, news about a cult came again. The Yeke Kingdom has really become a den of a cult.
She gently comforted the child, "When you are full, go to sleep. I will go and tell Dad the news."
He handed the child to the housekeeper and used a handkerchief to wipe the child's chest which was covered with saliva.
He tucked his clothes back into place, turned around and walked upstairs.
Arriving at the radio room, he picked up the microphone and said, "Master, Deacon Slater has sent me a piece of information about the evil cult in Ergiro City."
I sat in front of the radio and waited for a while, but no news came back.
So I got up and went downstairs.
……
"Chief Wu, the convoy is ready and we can go there at any time." Lu Changan said directly.
It only took two hours to reach the city that 'Lu Chang'an' mentioned.
Different from the city recaptured by Wu Heng.
This place looks more like a modern battlefield, having been baptized by artillery fire.
Collapsed houses, bomb craters and broken walls.
Still a bit miserable.
Wu Heng said, "No need. You come with me on the flying dragon. No one else needs to follow. Too many people will cause problems."
With a wave of his hand, several skeleton flying dragons squatted down and lowered their heads, and Wu Heng sat on them directly.
Then he signaled Lu Changan to follow.
Lu Changan opened his eyes wide and looked at the skeleton flying dragon, but was reluctant to move.
