The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 510 - 421, Setting Off (Seeking Monthly Passes!)

Chapter 510: Chapter 421, Setting Off (Seeking Monthly Passes!)

“Ah? Your association is so troublesome,” Philippa complained in her tone.

“Wait a few days, I also waited several days when I joined the association,” Wu Heng said.

“Then how long did you wait?”

After a brief recollection, “It seems like it was three days, yours should be about the same.”

“Oh, three days is not too bad.”

After telling Philippa about the Secret Speaker.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “Your pirate friend, he didn’t suspect you, did he?”

“No, I told him about leaking information to the association; some of the ships that followed us out, we’ve detained them too. Now I have three ships,” Philippa said with pride.

Unless someone figured out the radio, it would be hard to trace it back to Philippa.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and did not see the advantage of having more ships.

“Don’t focus on developing a pirate group; the more people you have, the more problems are likely to arise. Focus on gathering information instead.”

Philippa’s tone paused, “Ah, you’re right. I’ll think about it, sell the ships, and have some money to spend.”

Wu Heng did not dwell on this matter but continued to mention the book he acquired, “Have you heard of ‘A Brief History of Pirates’?”

“Whose history?”

“A book called ‘A Brief History of Pirates,’ the omniscient of the Emerald Sea.”

“Eh… Who reads books among pirates? I haven’t read it.”

She indeed didn’t know about the book.

Wu Heng gave her a brief explanation, “It mainly talks about a Pirate King of the Emerald Sea, who could know the movements of ships at sea.”

“Ah… the blank envelope!” Philippa exclaimed, also thinking of the blank envelope.

“I also thought of that. Keep this in mind and pay attention to any information,” Wu Heng said directly.

“Alright, some of the old pirate groups should know something; I’ll ask around when I have the chance.”

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “There’s also a treasure map; I’ll give it to you when I have the chance to see if you can find the place.”

Philippa replied, “Okay, I’m heading to a port with the Flying Fish Pirate Group for some repairs. I’ll be back there in a couple of days, and you can give it to me then.”

“Alright!”

Philippa continued to ask, “Where’s my mom?”

“Next time I’ll have her talk to you when there’s a chance; I’ve just returned to Gold and Silver Island.”

“Oh okay, I’m not in a hurry.”

“Then let’s leave it at that. Be careful out there and don’t make friends with pirates.”

“I know, bye dad.”

“Mm.”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng returned to the fourth floor.

He opened the boundary door and went toward Zombie World.

…

Elsewhere, it was still the manager’s office in the mall.

He took out the walkie-talkie and called Qi Hancai.

Before long, the sound of footsteps arose, and a figure in a long down jacket and Martin boots walked up.

“You called for me?”

Wu Heng asked, “Nothing’s wrong here, right?”

“No issues. The provincial district continues to collect gold, and they will also continue to sell us some blueprints and ammunition,” Qi Hancai reported.

“Hmm, let them continue to sell us some revolving machine cannon rounds; also, the blueprints for the rounds, bring those over as well,” Wu Heng said.

The revolving machine cannon had a high rate of fire and great power.

In less than a minute, ships would be shattered.

But the ammunition consumption was equally vast.

The rounds sold along with the machine cannon last time were gone in less than a minute.

Now he still needed to have them sold to him.

Qi Hancai took out a notebook from her breast pocket, clicked a pen to write down, “Alright, I’ve noted it. I’ll contact them when I get back.”

Wu Heng nodded and continued to ask, “Has the equipment for smelting gold been transported over?”

“It has been brought over.”

“And the location for the Water Elemental Well?”

“That’s also been chosen.”

Wu Heng stood up, “Let’s go, we’ll check it out.”

The two left the mall and, under Qi Hancai’s guidance, went to a yard behind the mall.

The snow in the yard had been cleared, and a huge pit had been dug in the middle.

“Is this place suitable?” Qi Hancai asked.

“It should be; have people start smelting the gold. Before it cools, bring the liquid gold over,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Alright!” Qi Hancai took out the walkie-talkie and immediately gave orders.

As for Wu Heng, he took out all the components of the ‘Water Elemental Well.’

A large number of skeleton warriors were called to begin assembly.

The whole well was more like a large reservoir.

The stone well was etched with complex symbols and patterns.

Having experienced the ‘Burial Ground’ and ‘Flame Furnace,’ he was now much more familiar with magical constructions.

He made sure the assembly was correct.

Soon, a few survivors rushed over, carrying the liquid gold.

Wu Heng directed them to pour the gold through the grooves into several connection points.

Once the liquid cooled down.

A faint ripple of magic spread out instantly.

The runes arod have an impact.”

Qi Hancai had heard about runes for the first time but guessed they referred to the patterns above.

He nodded in agreement, “Let’s have the skeletons guard here; it’s safer.”

“Hmm, that works too.”

He summoned a few skeletons to guard the area.

The two of them continued to walk outside.

Qi Hancai continued, “The train’s modification is almost done. We tried running it for a distance, and there weren’t any problems.”

It had been about a week since they acquired the train.

The people at the base had experience in modifying cars, so modifying trains posed no problem.

Moreover, the speed wasn’t slow.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “Organize some manpower. Let’s head to the next city tomorrow.”

There hadn’t been much progress in the Zombie World lately.

It was time to move on to the next step.

“Alright, I will go prepare right away.”

Returning to the shopping mall.

Qi Hancai busied himself with his matters, while Wu Heng also returned to Gold and Silver Island.

…

Descending to the first floor.

Mini, Andre Willow, and Shanaila were chatting in the living room about some recent amusing incidents.

Wu Heng came down from upstairs and joined in their conversation for a while.

The Skeleton Chef also served dinner.

Everyone sat at the dining table, eating and talking.

“What have you been busy with these past few days?” Shanaila asked curiously.

“Catching pirates for the guild,” Wu Heng answered.

“Pirates can never be completely caught. Don’t wear yourself out,” Shanaila said softly.

Her concerned tone made Mini gaze at them with wide eyes, puzzled.

Shanaila then changed the subject, “The island is gathering a second batch of ships to set sail. Some Merchant Group Guards and mercenaries will be assigned to join.”

Wu Heng took a sip from his wine glass, puzzled, “Are they setting sail?”

“Not yet, I heard there will be some training, but this force on the island has the authority similar to Guard Teams, empowered to arrest and search,” Shanaila explained.

“Oh, has Starflower also assigned people?”

“Everyone having search authority, and with other guilds sending people, we had to as well. The competition between guilds is not as calm as you think,” Shanaila said with resignation.

“That’s true, driving off pirates is also beneficial.”

“Yes!”

How the island is managed falls under local policies.

The guild does hold some power but cannot meddle in these matters at will.

Unless they discover a scheme or something that could pose a major threat.

After dinner, they chatted in the living room for a while longer.

Shanaila left, and the three of them went to their rooms to rest.

Late at night, Shanaila came back stealthily again.

The two of them embraced on the bed.

“Aren’t you tired of running here every day?” asked Wu Heng.

“It’s quite thrilling.”

“Ah! Lady Shanaila, you actually enjoy this?”

“Stop it, don’t call me ‘Lady’ at a time like this.”

…

The next day, in the Zombie World.

The train at the northern station.

The train had become like a moving fortress of steel.

The locomotive boasted a shiny triangular ram, and the window glass was protected by horizontally welded steel bars as thick as fingers.

The body of the train was reinforced with metal plates, with key areas receiving special reinforcement.

There was a sense of heavy power to it.

Solar panels and antennas were installed on the top, providing energy as well as enhancing signal reception.

Theton Flying Dragons.

Food and supplies were loaded onto the train, and the crew checked the train’s condition.

Qi Hancai came over and said, “Everything’s ready; we can leave at any time.”

“Let’s go then. Let’s board the train and set off early,” Wu Heng replied as he led the skeletons into the assigned carriage.

Once all the skeletons were ready,

With a walkie-talkie at hand, Qi Hancai announced, “We’re departing.”

Amidst a rumbling sound, the train gradually started to move.
