The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 504 - 416, help me catch them

Chapter 504: Chapter 416, help catch them

“How would I know? The information in the letters is always accurate each ti it’s passed along; it has to be real,” Babuzzi with the big beard emphasized.

Philippa picked up a fist-sized goblet, covering her face with it.

She made a ntal note of this matter.

Getting information on the skeleton attendant was actually not difficult.

But why had there suddenly been this additional piece of information?

Did the envelope sender not know the attendant’s true strength before, or did they think that since the previous few pirates had failed, they should give the rest a heads-up as a warning to be prepared?

...

“What? Are you still thinking of killing that Vice-executive?” the big-bearded man asked, looking at him.

“1,200 Gold Coins, aren’t you tempted?”

“Nope, even if I went, it’s not guaranteed I could beat him, so why provoke him.”

Philippa looked at him seriously, “I’m begging you, join the guild.”

The big-bearded man continued, “I’ve gathered two Pirate Groups; the leaders are around level 12. We’re planning to raid a trading party. Considering you treated to a drink today, I’ll count you in. Want to join us?”

Philippa, drinking her wine, looked at him skeptically, “You aren’t a spy for the guild trying to trick into joining, are you?”

“Your wanted poster? Even dogs pee on it before walking away,” the big-bearded man rose to his feet, gesturing to his people to head outside. “You’re paying for the drinks, see you next ti.”

Philippa let the first mate pay and imdiately followed, putting his arm around Babuzzi’s shoulder, “Don’t be mad, I’ll join. What about the trading party, is there any money in it?”

“Of course, there’s money, enough for you to make a tidy sum.”

“Babuzzi, you truly are a generous pirate.”

“Damn!”

…

He placed the purchased items out in the courtyard.

Wu Heng returned the consortium’s Space Satchel to the accompanying staff mber.

The latter bowed and then left the place.

Wu Heng stored all the items away and, after saying hi to Mini, headed straight up to the fourth floor.

He opened the boundary door and went through to Zombie World.

On the other side was the old factory dormitory.

Last ti Xiao Xiao missed her mom, so he brought her here to see her, then they went back to Gold and Silver Island from this side.

He let Xiao Xiao go see her mother; anwhile, he walked down the stairs himself.

He made his way to the back of the old factory dormitory.

He took out all the coffins and Flying Dragon carcasses he had bought.

[Corpse Battlefield] was activated, and the bodies all stood up, shook the flecks of flesh from their bodies, and strode to the side.

After finishing, Wu Heng took the skeletons back to the old factory district.

Just as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Xiao’s mother, Zhao Yanqiu, ca downstairs.

“Your Majesty, do you have any orders?” Zhao Yanqiu glanced at the skeletons behind him.

“These four are blacksmiths, these two are leatherworkers; later, assign them to the factory area,” Wu Heng pointed to the skeletons behind.

He then commanded the skeletons, “From now on, obey her orders.”

Whoosh! The skeletons stirred, moving beside Zhao Yanqiu.

“Alright, I’ve noted it down. Any other commands?” Zhao Yanqiu continued to inquire.

“That’s all; you may go on with your tasks.”

“Oh, alright,” she said.

Zhao Yanqiu walked away with the skeletons.

Wu Heng sent the Skeleton Brewer and Skeleton Alchemy Warlock through the boundary door.

Then riding on the Skeleton Flying Dragon, he went directly to the controlled northern station.

…

Just as he landed.

A survivor ran over.

He whispered, “People from the provincial area are here, they’re talking with Sister Qi in the eting room now.”

“They arrived this morning?”

The survivor said, “They just got here too, probably been around for just over ten minutes.”

“Alright, I’ll go check it out.”

The survivor nodded and continued to guard his post.

Wu Heng walked up to the tidied eting room, took out The Scripture of Proselytization, placing it to one side, knocked lightly on the door, and entered.

Inside sat Qi Hancai, and near the entrance was Deputy Commander Liu, whom he’d t last ti, as well as another bright-eyed young man.

“Deputy Commander Liu, I just rushed over; I’m a bit late,” Wu Heng said with a smile as he walked in.

The middle-aged Deputy Commander also stood up, smiling, “We’ve just arrived too; the timing is perfect.”

After a handshake.

Qi Hancai stood up, yielding her spot.

Once Wu Heng was seated.

The Deputy Commander began, “We’ve brought 30 kilograms of Gold, two Machine Cannons, and two thousand rounds of ammunition, as well as so blueprints you need over here.”

The trade items had been checked by both parties beforehand.

He repeated it now.

“The blueprints?” Wu Heng inquired.

Qi Hancai took out several stacks of printed blueprints from the cabinet shelf beside her.

Wu Heng flipped through them.

The vice-commander introduced, “There are three types: blueprints for the Type 56 rifle, grenades, and ammunition structure diagrams.”

Wu Heng looked them over. Although they were printed out,

the content was very clear, with dinsions, styles, and internal material structures all clearly marked.

They were obviously up to standard drafting specifications.

The vice-commander said with a smile, “The blueprints are our gift to you. After all, in these dangerous tis, each place contributes what it can, putting forth technology and effort to work through the difficulties together.”

The blueprints were copies, and with the conditions of the various shelters at the mont, having blueprints wouldn’t allow for the production of much.

Usually, the main base would publicly disclose so thods of weapon construction, but the explanations weren’t as clear as having the blueprints.

“Thank you,” Wu Heng handed the blueprints back to Qi Hancai, then asked, “Do you have blueprints for machine cannons and cannon shells?”

The other furrowed his brow, “You need those?”

“Yes, I hope to exchange for those blueprints next ti. If there are blueprints for the production lines, that would be even better.”

The vice-commander fell silent for a mont, “With the current situation, even if we had blueprints, we wouldn’t be able to produce them. Why would you want them?”

“I want my people to study them, and besides, I was a military enthusiast before, so I’m quite interested in these things. I hope the provincial authorities will agree,” Wu Heng said as he fiddled with the books.

“Alright, I will report this matter to my superiors when I return.”

“Thank you,” Wu Heng said.

Having finished discussing the trade, the vice-commander asked in a casual tone, “Taking over this station, do you have any plans? Can you reveal a bit?”

“No special plans, just that when I saw your modified train, I wanted to modify one for myself. If there’s danger, we can also drive to join you.”

The other was taken aback, then laughed, “Haha, we would definitely welco you in the province. By that ti, my position as vice-commander might be yours.”

“Well, I’ll have to rely on Deputy Commander Liu’s care then.”

“The future belongs to you young folks.”

The two chatted for a while.

Outside, the grain trade had been completed.

Deputy Commander Liu did not linger, boarding the train with his people.

And departing into the distance.

…

Inside a warehouse at the station,

a tarp was lifted, revealing two machine cannons below.

There were two types in total.

One was a twin-barrel machine cannon previously sold by the military, capable of firing 23-milliter shells.

The other was a behemoth with six iron barrels arranged in a circle, resembling an enlarged Gatling gun.

This one was the Gatling cannon.

“Is this new equipnt?” Wu Heng asked Qi Hancai.

Having just ntioned he was an armant enthusiast, his knowledge about firearms mostly ca from gas like PUBG.

“This is docuntation. The price of this type of machine cannon has doubled. Sounds pretty powerful,” Han Cai said.

Wu Heng took it over and saw that it was indeed much better than the original machine cannon.

“Yes, it’s decent. We can continue trading with them later.”

“Okay,” Han Cai agreed.

Wu Heng collected all the machine cannons and shells.

He continued on to another warehouse.

Inside a blue canopy that had been erected, several welders were modifying the train.

Thickening the tal plates, installing ramming angles.

The outer appearance was becoming more and more like the mobile fortress from the province.

Actually, reaching their level of modification would be quite good.

Fully eting the needs for transport and use.

After discussing the current situation with Qi Hancai,

Wu Heng packed up the traded gold and blueprints and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

…

Just as he descended the stairs,

Mini said, “Master, the Pirate Mistress is looking for you.”

He halted halfway down the stairs, then turned and headed back up.

Entering the radio room, Wu Heng glanced at the Skeleton Investigator’s logbook.

Picking up the microphone, he called out, “Philippa, are you there?”

A groggy voice ca from the other side, “Yes, why do you always talk when I’m sleeping?”

“It’s the middle of the day, why are you sleeping?” he retorted.

“Inside the cabin, there’s no distinction between day and night,” she muttered.

Wu Heng didn’t want to quibble over this and went straight to the point, “You were looking for ?”

“Ah yes, your bounty is at 1200 gold coins now, and the pirates have also gotten information on your two skeleton attendants,” Philippa said.

Well…

Hearing about his increased bounty, he wasn’t as surprised.

He asked, “Skeleton attendants, what kind of information? Let hear it.”

“Hmm, just two skeleton attendants, both above level 15, one’s a ronin and the other is a warhamr warrior. That’s all,” she inford.

“That’s not really a secret; no big issue there,” he said.

Philippa continued, “I’ve joined a pirate group, three of them in all. You’re going to help take them down.”
