The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 470: 385: The Woman Who Followed Them In

Chapter 470: Chapter 385: The Woman Who Followed Them In

The following figure stopped abruptly in its tracks.

There was a hint of surprise as it looked ahead.

Just monts ago, curiosity had sparked about the sudden detour into the alley, but it turned out to be an anticipation of being followed and waiting there for the pursuit to continue.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, the figure spoke directly, “That special item was sold by .”

Wu Heng was also watching the figure that had followed him in.

With a hood pulled down low over the face, strands of golden hair could be seen peeking through the gaps at the sides of the hood.

...

The voice was that of a woman, and a young one at that.

He had thought it was an alchemist from the consortium, especially since a staff mber had just conveyed a ssage saying they wanted to speak with him.

It seed he was mistaken.

It must be the person who had verbally agreed to et with him on the auction cruise ship.

“Have you been waiting here for all this ti?” Wu Heng asked curiously.

“I saw you cancel the commission,” she replied.

“Our trade is already complete, is there sothing else you want?” The tone in Wu Heng’s voice was still rather unfriendly.

Following soone was hardly a friendly gesture.

“I apologize for my earlier behavior,” the woman said, bowing politely, then continued, “I know you intend to hide your identity, which is why I didn’t et with you inside the consortium. I wanted to talk to you after following you out here.”

“About what?” he asked.

She went on, “I just wanted to confirm with you how I could continue to trade for this elixir in the future?”

Wu Heng looked at her quizzically, “This elixir has limits on how it affects a person; it can’t be taken indefinitely, and buying too much would be pointless.”

“I know, but how should I find you if I want to exchange for more?” the woman asked again.

“Just keep posting commissions with the consortium, and I’ll co and check,” Wu Heng answered.

“Can you give a specific address so I can bring the exchange items directly there?”

Wu Heng flatly stated, “Making the elixir isn’t as simple as you think. Just go through the consortium. I’ll keep an eye on it from ti to ti.”

“That… Okay then! If the exchange items aren’t satisfactory, you can have the consortium contact so we can negotiate further.”

“That’s fine.”

“Then I won’t disturb you any longer.” The woman gave another noble curtsy and then made her exit back through the alley.

She returned to rmaid Tavern.

Wu Heng watched her leave and then walked so distance forward.

He released his Eagle Eye Technique along the way, also employing Glenda’s scouting abilities to ensure no one was still following him.

He flagged down a passing carriage and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

His sale of the elixir wasn’t only to trade for that special item.

He also wanted to see how the outside world would react to the elixir.

The alchemist responsible for the inspection had indeed shown great interest in the elixir, but it hadn’t caused as much of a stir as he had imagined.

The woman from before must co from a significant background.

She had likely encountered so difficulty that required the elixir.

He could co back after so ti to see if he could trade for so other special items or tools.

The carriage arrived at the city gates.

Wu Heng got off and walked on foot toward the outskirts.

He found a secluded spot and took the Phantom Train back to Gold and Silver Island.

…

By the ti he returned to Gold and Silver Island, twilight was nearing.

After dining with two maids, he went from the rooftop towards ‘Sha Naila’s residence.

As soon as he descended from the rooftop, he saw the female butler coming towards him.

Wu Heng paused, feeling that his thod of arrival might be misconstrued by her.

Just as he was about to explain, she bowed slightly, “Master Wu Heng!”

“Where is Sha Naila?”

“The lady is in the study. Will you be staying over tonight?” the butler continued to inquire.

“Yes.”

“There have been so adjustnts to the guard duties. If you stay, please leave before breakfast ti to avoid any negative impact on the lady.”

“Alright, I understand,” Wu Heng nodded and proceeded straight to the study.

He gently pushed open the door to find Sha Naila daydreaming at her desk.

Upon seeing him enter, her distracted gaze instantly turned to joy.

Barefoot with white toes, she ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.

“You’re back!”

“Yes. I t your butler in the hallway. She told to leave before breakfast tomorrow,” Wu Heng said.

Sha Naila looked up at him, “You could also just stay in the room without going out, and nobody would know.”

Wu Heng smiled, lifted her up, and gave her a kiss before setting her down on the desk.

Her skirt hem fell along the edge of the desk, gently fluttering in a rhythmic sway.

[Summoned Entity – Skeleton Mage, unlocked skill ‘Bone Manipulation Skill’.]

Hmm?

Without having much ti to think, Shanaela asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wu Heng smiled, gently stroking her cheek, “You’re truly beautiful.”

“Why are you saying these things now, really!” Shanaela turned her head away.

…

The next day, early morning.

Wu Heng returned from Shanaela’s place.

After coming downstairs and having breakfast with his two maids,

he went back up to the fourth floor.

He opened the boundary door in the study and headed to Zombie World.

It was still the manager’s rest room. Standing by the window, he glanced outside.

As the weather grew colder, the outside was filled with the cutting sound of the wind, whipping up dust and the fallen leaves everywhere.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed much since the fallen leaves on the streets were cleaned up by people.

But now, with insufficient manpower, the air was filled with yellowing leaves.

Wu Heng didn’t call for Qi Hancai, instead, he went downstairs directly and rode the Flying Dragon to the old factory district.

It was still a few minutes’ journey.

The Flying Dragon descended from the rooftop, and Wu Heng jumped down from its back, spitting out a few mouthfuls of sand that had gotten in his mouth.

Then he descended from the roof of the building.

He entered his dormitory.

Inside the room, the Skeleton Mage “Kalemah” was still sitting at the desk, now with a different book.

Wu Heng walked over and looked at the Skeleton’s skills.

In the skill slot that originally contained only the [Life Extension Technique], there was now an additional [Bone Manipulation Skill (Sub)].

He had indeed learned the Bone Manipulation Skill.

The “Sub” character afterward indicated that he was the status of an attached attendant, and despite being a transford skeleton, he was still considered Wu Heng’s summoned creature.

After all, Kalemah was a lvl 15 mage, and his intelligence was an advantage that was plain to see.

The speed at which he learned skills wasn’t slow either.

Wu Heng rembered the several Skeleton Ghost Hags he’d transford before, which had difficulty learning any skills.

Latterly, he had given up and left them at the prison.

He didn’t imdiately leave with Kalemah; instead, he went out again and walked down the stairs.

When he reached the third floor, he happened to see Xiao Xiao’s mother, “Zhao Yanqiu,” carrying a lunchbox up the stairs.

First she paused, then showed a smile, “Your Majesty!”

“Just had breakfast.”

“The cafeteria in the factory district serves als at set tis. Did you have any instructions for during this visit?” Zhao Yanqiu asked.

“Nothing much, just ca to see how things are going over here.”

“Please wait a mont.” Zhao Yanqiu returned the lunchbox to her room, then ca back out, “I’ll co with you to have a look around.”

Wu Heng nodded and continued downstairs.

Then, he toured the entire factory district, both the front and backyards.

The entire old factory district was now managed by “Zhao Yanqiu,” mainly responsible for production.

The weapons for skeletons, clothes for survivors to survive the winter, and the production of solid iron bullets at the slting furnaces.

It was essentially the base’s factory.

Playing a very important role.

Zhao Yanqiu introduced everything from start to finish, while Wu Heng listened on the side.

Everything seed to be problem-free, progressing smoothly.

They returned to the dormitory.

Wu Heng let Xiao Xiao out to visit her mother.

He and Glenda chatted in the room.

…

“Why do you think your husband is still alive?” Wu Heng asked the ghost floating in the air, curious.

“This is also what I’ve analyzed over the many years after my death, from the few years we were together, he was obsessed with books about changing human lifespan or constitution; I suspect he survived, and I also hope he didn’t die so easily,” Glenda explained.

In Glenda’s story,

she was killed by her own husband in the basent, who then set fire to the entire building,

the sa manor Wu Heng saw when he t her.

Back then, one of “Glenda’s” conditions for coming with him was that if he encountered her husband, help her kill him.

Today, after reading a book about a man who killed his wife for the inheritance, Glenda brought up the subject.

“If he really did manage to survive, his strength is probably quite high,” Wu Heng remarked.

“You’ll help , right? We had an agreent,” Glenda leaned forward, looking into his eyes.

Wu Heng said directly, “Of course I’ll help you. Just don’t get soft-hearted like those won in the novels, forgive him, and get back together or sothing.”
