Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In The Apocalypse
/ Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse Chapter 499
Chapter 499, Crisis in Luntam City (Updated today.)
For business groups who want to do business from the island, or transfer goods.
Maintaining close cooperation with the island owner's government is a good opportunity to draw closer to each other, especially those business groups that have not written letters of recommendation before to help Wu Heng become the island owner.
I want to seize the opportunity of this cooperation.
Every one of them seems to be quite enthusiastic.
Wu Heng actually wants Shannara to help him with the business group's procurement.
It's just that Shannara has just returned to the wood elves, and it will take some time to come back.
The representatives of the Star Flower business group were also present and had the same identity as the other business group representatives.
“These are the items I need to purchase. Take a look at them first.” Wu Heng took out several arranged lists of materials and handed them to the representatives of the business groups present.
The material list was reorganized by Artificer.
Including 3 mm copper plate, white gunpowder, lead and other materials.
White gunpowder is similar to smokeless gunpowder in the modern world, the difference is in the material.
The gunpowder in this world is mixed with the scale powder of fire monsters.
The artificer made adjustments when arranging the materials.
People from each business group looked at the list of materials. Some looked happy, while others shook their heads helplessly.
Someone stood up and said: "Island owner, in the previous auction of the Snake Emblem Consortium, we bought the copper mining rights in the eastern part of 'Rochefort', which can supply your copper mine needs."
Another person also stood up and said, "Sir, we also export a large amount of copper ore, and we can also make the specifications you need and send them to you."
“White gunpowder, we can supply….”
Several people stood up one after another, and they all said the materials they could cooperate with.
Wu Heng sat on one side and listened.
All purchases can be made smoothly, which makes me feel relieved.
Waving his hand for everyone to sit down.
Said: "You go back and calculate the types and prices of the materials you can cooperate with. After they are calculated, send them directly to the city hall. We will select several companies to sign the agreement and purchase them based on the price and transportation conditions. In terms of money, you Don't worry, it's all settled normally.”
“Yes, yes!” Everyone nodded flatteringly.
“Then let's do this for now. You bid as soon as possible so that we can make a choice.” Wu Heng said.
Everyone stood up, saluted, and walked outside together.
Wait for everyone to leave.
Wu Heng also left the association directly.
Take a carriage back to the island owner's manor, put on the [Conductor's Hat], and the ghost train will appear.
Go directly to the "Netale City" of the Kingdom of Yeko.
The train stopped in a deserted place, Wu Heng put on his cloak and veil and went directly into the city.
It's different from the past.
At this time in Netale City, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets than in the past few days. Everyone was in a hurry, and many shops were closed.
At the alchemy shop and the mineral shop, I temporarily purchased some materials, and then went to the semi-underground Snake Emblem Consortium in the Mermaid Tavern.
The Snake Emblem Consortium is not as lively as before.
Two scattered people stood in front of the notice board, chatting in low voices.
Wu Heng walked directly into the room he had reserved.
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 lady has something to do, and she has arranged for me to wait here to trade with you. Don't worry, the lady and I have already explained it." The other party leaned forward and spoke in a half-bowed posture.
Wu Heng was still looking at her.
The other party said again: "My lady also said that if you want to help her refine the potion, your previous promise is still valid, and you can offer higher conditions."
I mentioned it at this time to prove my identity.
After all, the conditions between the two of them are unknown to outsiders unless the blond woman says it herself.
“Yeah.” 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 the space ring.
Open it carefully, put it on the table and push it over.
Inside is a corolla of bright flowers.
【Fairy Flower Crown】
(Description: A flower crown woven by reclusive fairies, with the effects of self-healing, nourishing the body, and bestiality.)
This time it's not a strange object, but a magic item.
But the effect is still very good.
Some magic props are as effective as rare items and have no side effects.
This 'Elf Flower Crown' is not bad, although it is not a combat prop. Even if it has a self-healing effect, it is impossible to wear the flower crown in a battle.
Most often used after war, or carried on daily basis, it can also nourish the body.
The woman softly introduced: "The corolla of the Fairy Tribe has a self-healing effect equivalent to that of a mid-level therapeutic potion. Wearing it on a daily basis can nourish the body well and gain the ability to communicate with animals and beasts."
It turns out that **** really means communicating with wild beasts literally.
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 also smiled when he heard that he was satisfied and put the potion away.
This time the transaction was over, Wu Heng asked: "Why are there so few people on the street?"
The woman shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry, I can't talk nonsense, and I don't want to perfuse you."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.
I'm still 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 too 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 he was almost rested, he went upstairs again.
Open the gate and go to the zombie world.
Add some small quantities of purchased materials into the machines of the production chain.
Several people stood aside and waited silently.
Soon, the sound of machine operation sounded, and the whole thing started to work.
The copper plate is cut into coin-sized discs, which are then extruded by a machine into hollow bullet casings.
Then comes the fixing of the bottom, the filling of gunpowder, and the fixing of the warhead.
Wu Heng has seen the drawings and can understand the general process.
Qi Hancai and others saw the production of bullets for the first time and were full of curiosity.
But once the whole process is completed and the complete bullet is produced, it doesn't feel that difficult to make.
“These materials may not be produced for long,” Qi Hancai said.
“I'll figure it out by then, don't worry.”
Qi Hancai thought for a moment, "I can collect some copper products from various places, but gunpowder is difficult to collect."
“Well, let's collect some copper products, gunpowder and lead first, and I'll figure it out.”
"good!"
After some bullets were produced, Wu Heng stopped the machine.
Collect newly produced bullets.
We walked out of the factory together and came outside.
Hand the bullets to a skeleton holding a machine gun, "Put on these bullets."
The skeleton opened the magazine and loaded the new bullet into it.
Shot from a distance.
ˆBang bang bang~!
There was a burst of gunfire, and bullets hit the wooden target in the distance.
There are no problems with the orbit and 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 also meet the standards.
“It looks like the effect is not bad.” Qi Hancai looked at the wooden target and said.
“Well, it's really not bad.”
Let the skeleton return to its post.
Wu Heng and Qi Hancai walked back together.
Go directly back to your respective residences.
The next day, the island owner's manor. Wu Heng was basking in the sun on the lounge chair, while Minnie was handling flowers and plants in the flower bed nearby.
The door of the manor was knocked.
Minnie wiped her hands on her apron and quickly ran over to open the door.
Chatted a few words with people outside.
Came back with a letter in hand.
“Master, there is a letter from you at the association, and it was sent directly here.”
“Believe it.” Wu Heng sat up, took it and took a look.
Tear open the envelope and pour the letter directly out.
Lines of writing appear.
Letter from Mantha Wen.
"Owner:
I was very happy that I had received the letter I sent, but it still shocked me when it suddenly appeared next to someone's pillow.
People cannot be frightened now.
You said you would come back to see me, but there has been no news for several days. I couldn't wait any longer, so I wrote you a letter.
I just hope I won't miss you and I didn't see you there.
Luntam City has been a bit uneasy recently. Two days ago, there was an assassination operation by gangs in the outer city. Several officials in the city hall were assassinated, and there were signs of interrogation.
Through investigation and the arrest of several gangs.
Got some news that high-level professionals have entered the city and are planning things.
I have arranged manpower to increase patrols and guards in the city, but some officials still choose to leave due to pressure.
Deacon Slater has been here a few times, but he can't stay in the city all the time, and he doesn't have any good ideas.
If the master was here, this would definitely not happen...
I just hope that I won't do too badly and disappoint the owner's expectations.
Waiting for your return.
—Wen Mansha》
Looking at the contents of the letter, Wu Heng frowned slightly.
The letters sent before were all in good condition in Luntam City. The city was developing rapidly and taxes continued to rise.
Coupled with the good management of Money Cat, it has become an entertainment center in surrounding cities.
The city that never sleeps in the true sense.
Today's letter clearly carries a sense of worry.
There are high-level professionals who assassinate officials and interfere with the development of "Luntam City".
Like Luntam City, a middle ground without the support of a country or force is really the easiest place to overthrow the regime.
Looks like I really have to go back.
“Is it Sister Wen Mansha?” Minnie asked from the side.
“So smart!”
“I knew it was her, and I must have driven you crazy.” Minnie said from the side.
Andweil also said it.
Among the three maids in Luntam City, Wen Mansha is the most clingy.
It seems that Minnie thinks so too.
Wu Heng put the letter away and said: "There are high-level professionals in Luntam City who are causing trouble. That's what Wen Mansha said."
“Didn't you leave behind a high-level skeleton? Higher than that?”
Luntam City did not attract much attention before.
Judging from the feeling of playing games in the past, it is more like the cities around Novice Village.
It's a little higher than Blackstone Town, but it's much worse than Treasure Island.
Level 15 is the top professional there.
At that time, the Warhammer Party's level 15 Skullbreaker, a bandit leader, almost captured the entire city.
But now the tax revenue in the city has increased sharply.
Attracted the attention of high-level professionals.
“Maybe he wants to occupy it!” Wu Heng said.
Minnie looked over and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
“Well, let's go back and take a look. At least turn on the radio for her, so that she can save herself writing letters.”
“That's right, you can accompany Sister Wen Mansha when the time comes. It's pitiful for her to be left alone there.” Minnie said.
Wu Heng nodded, thinking about his plan to leave.
Treasure Island has been stabilized and there is no need to worry about it for a while.
The main thing is to look at the zombie world.
There is no result yet from provincial and district rescue teams.
Solve the problem as soon as possible and then go to Luntam City.
afternoon.
Go directly to the zombie world.
More people were transferred here, and the factory became lively.
Wu Heng walked downstairs.
Qi Hancai also came quickly from outside with a serious face, "Come here for a moment."
Seeing her expression, he also followed her to a place behind the building.
In the open space in the middle, there is a corpse.
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Is someone dead?"
Qi Hancai shook his head, "He is not one of us. He was discovered climbing over the wall last night and was killed by a skeleton."
Not from one's own side.
Still trying to climb over the wall to get in?
Wu Heng guessed, “From the provincial rescue team?”
After all, we are here, and only the rescue team knows about it.
"It's possible. He's not wearing the clothes of the rescue team, but he is wearing a pistol. It should be about the same."
Wu Heng nodded and directly released [Conversation with the Dead] towards the corpse.
The corpse sat up from the ground and looked this way with its 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 builds its base.
Some people say the Rescue Team Base, and some say the Little Rock Base, but the names are different.
But it also verified the two people's guesses that they were people from the provincial rescue team.
Wu Heng then asked: "What are you doing here?"
The corpse replied, "Boss Huang, we have been given the task of collecting intelligence here in exchange for food."
Boss Huang!
I really don't want to give up.
Wu Heng asked again, "What information is collected?"
“The missing team, the defense plan of the factory area, and what is being done internally.”
The two looked at each other.
Qi Hancai said nothing, but his face became more solemn.
Still collecting their own defense plans, this purpose is already obvious.
Even if we don't want to fight, we are ready to fight.
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 investigate this place?"
“Boss Huang is the only one who did it without telling the other two forces of the rescue team.”
last question.
“How many weapons and equipment does Boss Huang have?”
“There are four armored vehicles and a lot of guns. I don't know exactly how many there are.”
Five questions answered.
The body lay back on the ground.
It seems that Boss Huang has already taken this matter on himself.
Whether he really disappeared or died somewhere.
These are not important anymore.
Just look for yourself here.
