Chapter 540, Supernatural Phenomenon
"What are you talking about? Stay away from the window so you don't get discovered by the zombies below."
From behind, a woman's nagging voice could be heard.
"Really, there are so many souls in the direction of the explosion just now. They must be the zombies that the eminent monk is saving over there. They will not be in pain in the future." The girl was still looking out the window.
The equally slovenly middle-aged woman behind him followed the other person's gaze and looked into the distance.
Empty sky.
Where is the soul.
Occasionally, one or two bone dragons can be seen hovering in the sky in the distance.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's scary."
"Mom, was it this bone flying dragon that delivered food to us last time?" the daughter asked again, looking into the distance.
Mother closed most of the curtains tightly, leaving only a gap through which she could see the scene outside.
"It's very similar. At that time, I hid in the distance and took a look. I wasn't sure if it was that kind of flying dragon."
The daughter tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Could it be someone from Xinfu City who kills zombies there and then saves the dead souls?"
"How is it possible? It's not that easy to kill zombies. Even the rescue team can't get in, let alone a civilian base like this."
"But they are the only ones who send us food. What you said is just shouting slogans on the radio every day." The daughter retorted.
"They will come to rescue us. The radio said they are organizing troops."
The daughter thought again, "I think we should go out and take a look. The zombies were lured away by the fighting in the distance, so they should be safe."
"If we go downstairs and encounter zombies, we won't be able to come back. We won't be able to recover just by taking two cold medicines," the mother said.
"But."
"Let's talk about it later, we still have to be careful."
While the mother and daughter were talking, a harsh current came from the radio station behind them, followed by intermittent, weak sounds.
"This is the Xinfu City Rescue Team. We have arrived at Tiebei Commercial Street and have uniformly cleaned up the surrounding zombies. Survivors nearby can come closer to us. When they come, they will encounter skeletons. Those are our soldiers. Please don't do anything. Any attack or provocative action to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
The mother and daughter turned back suddenly.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
It's really a base in Xinfu City. They really came into the city to save people.
Commercial street.
The battle between skeletons and zombies is over.
The ghosts wandering in the sky were also chased and devoured one by one by Xiaoxiao and Glenda.
Wait until the last ghost is absorbed.
[The ghost level is increased to level 15, constitution +2, intelligence +3.]
[Ghost Unlocked Features: Supernatural Phenomenon. 】
Glenda has been promoted to level 15.
In terms of level, it has reached level three.
Wu Heng opened the ghost panel and took a look at the new feature [Supernatural Phenomenon].
[Supernatural Phenomenon]: The place where the ghost lingers can 'actively' affect the five senses of the surrounding creatures, allowing them to feel strange noises and coldness seeping into the hall where the fire is burning, the smell of corpses filling the tidy room, or the corpse emerging from the cemetery. Climbing out, the ghost can control the type according to the corresponding scene.
Wu Heng frowned slightly as he looked at the newly emerged characteristics.
Judging from the introduction, it seems more like an improvement of ghost fantasy.
It affects the senses of living beings, whether it is strange noises, coldness seeping into the hall where the fire is burning, or corpse odor permeating the clean room.
They are all affected by hearing, vision, and smell.
It can't be said that it is useless.
It feels like it's mainly about scaring people.
Professionals from other worlds are very sensitive to changes in their surroundings. Once something like this happens, it will make the other party wary.
The effect is not too great.
It's okay to scare ordinary people, but scaring people seems to be of no use.
Let's wait and see where it can be used later.
"Uncle, they are all gone." Xiaoxiao flew down.
After this upgrade.
Xiaoxiao has also reached level 13.
The level gap between the two ghosts was quite large before, but now the gap is gradually narrowing.
"Wait until next time, you guys also need to take a rest." Wu Heng said.
"Oh." Xiaoxiao said, then lay on his shoulder, "Uncle, did you see me killing everyone just now? I wasn't so good when I was in kindergarten."
"What kind of kindergarten do you have?"
"No, I'm just playing with the kids." Xiaoxiao floated to the other side again, "I'm really good today."
Glenda also said: "Xiao Xiao is very good today."
"Hehe." Xiaoxiao smiled.
While talking, the skeleton dragged various corpses over.
Evolved zombies and deformed zombies were lined up in front of him.
Wu Heng transformed them one by one, and then collected the fallen corpse cores.
After the transformation of evolved zombies and aberrant zombies is completed, continue to release the [Dead Corpse Battlefield] along the way to transform all corpses into skeletons.
It occupied the entire street, as if there was no end in sight.
"Qi Hancai, let the convoy come over and search the surrounding stores." Wu Heng pressed the intercom.
"receive!"
The convoy at the rear began to move, and the road opened in the middle of the skeleton team continued to drive over.
Stopping on one side, a large number of survivors got out of the car and began to search the shops along the road.
Take away important items in advance.
The survivors began to get busy.
Qi Hancai also walked over from the back of the convoy and said: "There are 13 survivors, all from nearby shelters. The last time we delivered food to everyone, it worked. When they heard that it was our convoy, they all coming."
Wu Heng turned his head and looked towards the back of the convoy.
A lot of people gathered at the tail end of the car.
There were both men and women, looking slovenly like savages who had walked out of the barren mountains. They were waiting in line to receive some bread and fresh water brought by the motorcade.
Wu Hengruo felt something and looked towards the middle of the queue.
A little girl in her teens was looking directly at her.
From time to time, he looked at the sky and his shoulders.
His eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
"These people lived here before, and their families should be good." Qi Hancai spoke again from the side.
Wu Heng turned around and said, "Well, let's take a look at age and occupation, and assign jobs when we get back. If you have any special abilities, write them down separately then."
"Understood, someone has already registered."
"That's good."
After waiting on the roadside for a while, the survivors loaded various items into the truck.
When the preparations were almost complete, the convoy began to turn around and rush towards the military factory.
On the way back to the truck.
Wu Heng took a sip of water and asked, "How is Wang Haibing doing lately?"
"He has been training the skeletons recently. He seems to be quite serious. He is on time every day, making it seem like he is at work."
Wang Haibing's current task is to manage the power plant of the military factory and train the skeletons entrusted to him.
When power plants in other places are built later, these skeletons will also be arranged.
To maintain the operation of power plants everywhere.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let him select a few skeletons who have learned the lesson tomorrow. I will take them away then."
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back." Qi Hancai replied without squinting.
By this time it was getting dark.
The convoy lit up its headlights, illuminating the surrounding area.
Wu Heng continued to ask: "Has the main station contacted you again?"
"I contacted them and asked how they were considering it. I told them that we were not considering either agreement. The exchange of materials between the two parties could still continue. They also said something like it was for everyone's good and they didn't agree because we were dead. , forget it.”
"Well, except for the transactions between the two parties, other things will not be of any help to us." Wu Heng said.
"I know." Qi Hancai said with a smile.
The convoy made its way back to the factory.
Qi Hancai got out of the car and arranged housing for the new survivors, and Wu Heng also returned to his dormitory.
Open the gate and return to Treasure Island.
Come down from upstairs.
The hall was dark.
The sky here has also turned dark, and the maids have returned to their rooms to rest.
Wu Heng arranged the electrician skeleton he brought back to the courtyard first.
I asked the skeleton chef to prepare some dinner and ate it in the restaurant.
Ta tap tap~!
Footsteps sounded.
Anderweil walked downstairs carrying a pistol.
Seeing Wu Heng sitting at the dining table eating, he smiled and said, "Master, you are eating so late."
"Well, do you want to eat something together?"
"No, you won't like it if you gain weight."
Wu Heng touched the fluffy fox tail and said, "Our Wei'er is also very cute if she is fatter."
Andweier's face turned slightly red, "No way, the competition is so fierce now, I have to keep up."
"What competition?"
"You don't understand."
Wu Heng continued to ask: "How is it going at the city hall?"
"Everything is good. The number of patrols has been increased. The tax adjustment that has been discussed before has been finalized recently. I will show it to you in the next two days." Anderweier said.
Wu Heng nodded and then asked: "I mentioned the energy plant before. How is the construction going?"
Anderweil thought for a moment and said: "I heard that the progress is going very smoothly, but I haven't asked in detail what step it has reached."
"Let the dwarf designer come over tomorrow and I'll talk to him."
"Okay, then I'll ask him to come over tomorrow morning?"
"OK."
The two chatted for a while, and Wu Heng also finished the steak on the plate.
Wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Weier, want to join us tonight?"
Andweier's eyes turned into crescent moons, "Okay, I'm a little afraid of the dark today."
"Come here, I will sleep with you in my arms at night."
"good!"
In the early morning, Wu Heng yawned and went downstairs.
After having breakfast together, Anderweil went to the city hall, while Wu Heng was dragged to the courtyard by the other three maids.
Look at the garden they renovated in the past two days.
Some of the original flowers and plants have been replaced by fruit trees.
Forcibly turning the garden into a fruit forest.
He said that he would be able to grow his own fruits in the future.
Dong dong dong~!
Just as the three of them were chattering about the benefits of planting fruit trees, there was a loud knock on the courtyard door.
Minnie asked through the window. Then he ran back quickly and said, "Master, he is a representative of the Star Flower Chamber of Commerce. He came to discuss ordering goods with you."
Wu Heng was stunned.
Shannara had just told herself about the wood elves' affairs, and so soon the representatives of the business group came over.
Either the wood elves have already discussed it and want to cooperate with him, or there is a way to communicate quickly so that the other party knows that they want to cooperate with him.
"Let him go to the living room!" Wu Heng walked towards the living room.
Minnie walked to the gate again and led the other party through the courtyard filled with skeletons and armored vehicles to the hall.
In the living room.
The male wood elf in black dress saluted slightly, "Star Flower, the business group representative 'Seamos' has met the island owner."
He behaves elegantly, like a noble attending a ball.
"Hello, sit down!" Wu Heng said.
The wood elf sat down aside, and Catwoman brought tea.
After the maids left, the wood elf spoke softly, "Island Master, I am here to discuss cooperation with you."
"Well, I know about this. I do have a batch of goods that I need to order from Star Flower."
"This is really great." The wood elf smiled immediately.
It seemed that things were simpler than he thought.
"Have you brought the order of goods you ordered?" Wu Heng continued to ask.
"Bring it." The wood elf made a list of various goods, stood up and handed it over respectfully.
Wu Heng looked back, took out a pen and started marking the goods he ordered.
First is the food, then the sophisticated armor and one-handed axe.
"Why are there no ships up there?"
"Normally there are no ships above. If you need to order, you need to apply to the above separately. You are our important guest. As long as you declare it, there should be no problem." The wood elf explained at the side.
Wu Heng handed him the order form and continued: "Order 10 of your warships."
"Okay!" The other party looked at the order form, with a look of joy on his face.
One hundred thousand grains, fifty thousand armors, fifty thousand one-handed axes.
I am afraid that the total amount in Treasure Island and coastal areas will not be as high as this time.
No wonder the clan attaches so much importance to transactions with each other.
The wood elves immediately filled the warships.
"Sir, after deducting the discounts you enjoy, you still need to pay 53,520 gold coins. This is the agreement of the Star Flower." After the wood elf calculated, he said directly.
Wu Heng asked someone to count the gold coins, and he also signed the agreement.
Then he continued: "I am in a hurry with food and warships and need you to deliver them as soon as possible."
"Sir, the quantity of your order is too large and requires preparation. Even a fleet cannot deliver it to you at once."
"Then we will send them one after another, and the warships will be sent here first."
The wood elf thought for a moment and nodded: "That's no problem. I will make arrangements for you when the time comes, and the warship will be sent to you first."
"Just go to the city hall and notify Anderweil for acceptance."
"Understood, Lord Island Master."
Then while waiting for the gold coins to be counted, Wu Heng chatted with the other party.
Ask about the business environment on the island, as well as some views on shipping routes and port facilities.
The wood elf was obviously a little reserved, and his answers were all official.
Wait until Minnie has counted the gold coins.
The other party called people from outside again, and after confirming, they put them all away.
He saluted again and left the island owner's manor directly.
nine in the morning.
The dwarf designer is at the manor again.
Under Minnie's guidance, we arrived at the hall.
Wu Heng waited for the other party to sit down and asked: "The expansion area should be almost done, right?"
"We have entered into the final work. The construction will definitely be completed within this month and residents can be arranged to move in."
Wu Heng is quite satisfied with the construction progress. The buildings in this world are not as exaggerated as modern ones. Generally, ordinary residential buildings are two stories.
The mansions of powerful people only have three or four floors.
It's not that exaggerated, and with the help of construction vehicles, it will naturally be faster.
"What's the progress of the energy plants and ports I mentioned?"
The dwarf immediately replied, "The factory has been completed, and the port can be completed within this week."
"You're doing a good job. I'll let you know if there are any improvements that need to be made in the factory."
"Okay, my lord."
Wu Heng thought for a while and then said: "In the next few days, I will choose a separate building for you behind the city hall as the design institute, and you will be the person in charge."
The dwarf suddenly became happy, jumped off the chair, and saluted, "Thank you, sir. I will do a good job. Treasure Island will be my second home from now on."
"Okay, just do it well. Go back first. I'll let you know sometimes."
"Yes, sir." The dwarf saluted again and left the manor again.
He happily boarded the carriage and left here.
In the afternoon, after seeing nothing happened.
Wu Heng said hello to Minnie and went directly to the zombie world.
He sat in his bedroom and waited for a while.
Qi Hancai came back from outside and introduced the situation at the factory.
Then he said: "Sister Yahong encountered some problems."
"What's wrong?"
"Some shelters said that the people we recruited to rob and kill were the bandits in that area at that time. However, the people on our side denied this and said that the other party had suffered losses from previous transactions and framed them. They had a quarrel on the channel. In the past few days, other shelters have also been paying attention to this matter. If it is not done well, it may affect the prestige of our base. "
In a doomsday situation, fierce and cruel people are often more likely to survive.
People like Yang Yitian and Chen Jinlong before.
If you are strong, ruthless enough, and able to intimidate your younger brother, you can condense into a small force.
Bullying survivors is much easier than fighting zombies.
Everyone knows that the most important thing is to survive at the end of the day.
However, neither the rescue team base nor some large bases will recruit these people to join.
At best, just ignore these things.
Wu Heng also didn't expect that someone would report such a criminal among his own.
"What problems are you facing?"
"I'm not sure which of the two is telling the truth, and there are no other shelters or bases that can prove it. It's actually quite annoying to say some sarcastic remarks." Qi Hancai said.
"What type of sarcastic remarks?" Wu Heng asked again.
"It's just that you are protecting your own people. When a big force develops, who doesn't have some blood on their hands?"
Wu Heng was stunned, "Somewhat like me before."
"Give me a break."
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "I have a way. I'll teach you. Then you can teach it to Li Yahong."
"any solution?"
Wu Heng placed a clay sculpture on the table, "Look into its eyes, don't resist, and don't look away."
Qi Hancai looked at the kneeling clay sculpture and frowned, "It's a bit scary."
But he still followed his words and met the eyes of the clay sculpture.
Wu Heng asked: "What do you think of the current base?"
Qi Hancai said: "The base is developing very well. As long as it continues to develop steadily, sooner or later it will surpass the main station and become the largest and most prestigious shelter."
After speaking, Qi Hancai's eyes widened a bit, as if he was a little surprised by his answer.
Wu Heng then asked: "Why do you want to follow me?"
Qi Hancai's face turned red.
But he said unconsciously, "You are good-looking and have more potential. You are the best candidate now. When I joined, I hinted to you more than once, and finally discussed the last plan with Li Yahong. "
Wu Heng saw that her face looked congested with blood, so he covered the eyes of the clay sculpture with a handkerchief.
His mouth immediately closed tightly.
He stretched out his hand to signal her to wait for a while until the side effects disappeared.
Cai said: "The function is to make people who look directly tell the truth."
"So magical? What's the principle?"
"Ancient relics, don't ask so many questions, just be useful." Wu Heng continued: "The side effect is that after asking the questions, you will be temporarily unable to speak. You cannot speak for two minutes for two questions. The more questions you ask, the longer you will be unable to speak. long."
"A lie detector."
"That's understandable." Wu Heng nodded.
"Okay, I'll personally send someone over tomorrow to deliver it to Li Yahong."
"Can."
Qi Hancai said coyly: "What I told you just now is not allowed to be told outside, not even by Li Yahong."
"Okay, our secret."
"Um."
After saying this, Qi Hancai thought for a moment and then said: "By the way, today the provincial channel is occupied by the provincial rescue team, which is attacking the urban area."
"Why did you suddenly think of attacking?"
"Maybe we have put pressure on them. We continue to enter the city to clean up zombies and rescue survivors. It is not good that they have not taken any action." Qi Hancai analyzed.
"Yes, this is a good thing for the survivors."
"This should have been done a long time ago. The longer you drag the zombies, the stronger your ability will be."
Jiuhua Street.
The roaring sound echoed through the entire street.
Then, grenades rained down.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and the huge explosion was deafening.
The building shook violently, and hordes of zombies were torn apart, with pieces of flesh and limbs flying around.
The group of corpses screamed loudly and quickly looked around to see an armored convoy coming from a distance.
It instantly formed a torrent, roaring and charging forward.
Boom boom~ bang bang bang~!
The machine guns exploded, and machine gun bullets intertwined into a huge net.
The rushing zombies fell down in pieces like wheat, piling up into a large mountain of corpses.
"Machine gunner, pay attention to changing bullets."
"Armored vehicles, clean up the distorted zombies ahead."
"Stay steady, we have made sufficient preparations, and victory belongs to us."
Orders were issued from the walkie-talkie.
Everyone continued to pour out ammunition quickly.
suddenly.
The group of corpses rushing forward suddenly stopped.
They scattered in all directions and hid behind the buildings on both sides. The entire street was instantly empty, with only the corpses left behind covering the ground.
Everyone's eyes widened, a little at a loss.
What's going on?
Tens of thousands of zombies actually dispersed and hid at the same time.
what happened?
Thanks 08a for the tip
