Chapter 1022: Chapter 815, Prince is to give a speech Chapter 1022: Chapter 815, Prince is to give a speech Glenda eyed him suspiciously, “Are you just delaying until tonight to hand over the task to us?”
“Of course not,” Wu Heng scratched his head.
Bella laughed beside him, “Wu Heng has been running all day; he must be really exhausted.”
“You see, the eyes of the masses are sharp.”
Glenda said grumpily, “Go on, we'll tell you everything in the morning.”
“Alright, thank you,” Wu Heng said with a smile and then quickly left.
Glenda and Bella divided the information into two piles and began to sift through.
Xiao Xiao hid on the side, carefully opened the tablet, and watched cartoons with the volume down low.
Bedroom.
Lying in bed, he couldn't help but start reflecting on the current matters.
It had been three days since he arrived in the city.
The speed at which he was eliminating targets wasn't slow.
But, his marked target was the Second Prince, and he still hadn't found any solid clue.
Glenda even began to wonder if the Second Prince had been killed and if the Secret Cultivation Hall was using his identity to command the city's guard team.
That was a possibility, though it felt unlikely.
If he had been killed, what would happen regarding the succession to the throne?
After all, the plan called for the Second Prince himself to be on the throne.
“The greater probability is that he's been locked up or put into protective custody.”
If he killed the Second Prince, could the Secret Cultivation Hall then produce a false one to continue issuing orders?
No, if it were that easy to replace him, then the Second Prince would not be important.
The matters of the throne weren't of great concern to him.
He still had to find him and solve the problems in Lundham City first.
His mind raced as he figured out how to pinpoint the other's location.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
The Second Prince had arranged a meeting between Wen Mansha and a messenger.
Perhaps he could use the same method, arrange for a messenger to come and see who might guide them.
“Let's try it!”
Maybe it would create an opportunity.
As he thought, sleepiness overwhelmed him, and he drifted into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
After a quick freshening up, he headed to the surveillance room.
Two Skeletons still sat in front of the monitors, while the Three Ghosts chatted nearby.
“Good morning, ladies,” Wu Heng greeted cheerfully.
“Uncle, good morning!” Xiao Xiao waved happily, still full of vim and vigor.
Glenda and Bella also smiled in his direction.
Then Glenda flew over and said, “We've finished reviewing the intelligence and filtered out some useful information to discuss with you.”
“Okay,” Wu Heng sat down.
Glenda continued, “The information is of two types; one is about the Yeko Kingdom. The Second Prince is arranging his people covertly and overtly to have the association confirm the allegations of the Crown Prince colluding with the Evil Cult.
“The second is from Lundham City, we've mapped out a group of people implanted within the city, and some associated with the Crown Prince, whom you can have Wen Mansha clear out.”
It seemed these materials were quite helpful.
The specific situation in the Yeko Kingdom was unclear, but evidently, the Second Prince was also using the association to influence and restrain the Crown Prince.
The main issue was still the individuals planted inside Lundham City.
This data should be enough to eliminate them all at once.
“It's been tough, but when I return, I'll tell Wen Mansha to handle it,” Wu Heng said.
“Mm,” Glenda nodded.
Just then, the Skeletons in front of the monitor enlarged the image on the screen.
A group of Skeleton Alchemists, pushing a cart, walked down the prison hallway.
On the cart were syringes, glass vials, and other tools.
It looked like they were about to inject the inmates with a virus.
“Kai Xiu, Shanshan, you two also go along. If they struggle, help hold them down,” Wu Heng instructed.
The two Skeletons immediately walked out the door.
Soon, they appeared in the surveillance footage, following the Alchemy Skeletons.
Prison 202.
The thief sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the breakfast delivery.
Only when the cell door opened did he have a brief moment to observe the outside.
Wu Heng couldn't stay here for long, and since the Skeletons were rigid-minded, he could slowly look for an opportunity to escape.
Once out, he could expose everything here, and the Holy Court would be able to deal with him.
And he absolutely had to get his hands on that formula.
Tat-tat-tat!
Footsteps resonated from the hallway.
Then, the iron door opened, and several Skeletons pushing a metal cart slowly entered.
On the cart were sealed syringes and vessels filled with a dark red, viscous liquid.
The thief's expression tightened–a foreboding feeling rose in his heart.
Before he could react, two towering Skeletons stepped up and clamped his arms down onto the bed like iron tongs.
“What are you doing? What do you want?” the thief screamed.
“Wu Heng, what the hell are you up to?”
“You can't do this.”
No matter how loudly he yelled, no one seemed to care.
The Skeleton Alchemist picked up a syringe, flicked the needle lightly with bony fingers, and brutally plunged it into his neck.
The thief's screams abruptly stopped.
His body convulsed violently, and his exposed skin was covered with blue veins, like tiny angry snakes.
It gradually spread all over his body, turning the entire person purple.
Roar~!
A loud zombie roar echoed, and the thief had completed his transformation into a zombie, struggling, screeching, and constantly attempting to pounce on the target ahead.
The Skeleton Alchemist recorded the event and moved on to the next prison cell.
The other two in the prison cells.
They had become restless by now, the sound of clanging chains and howling filled the air nonstop from the neighboring cell.
It was obvious that something bad had happened.
This was not what was discussed yesterday.
Wasn't it said that we would only be given a normal type of meat material that could also enhance our constitution?
Why such a severe reaction?
Creak~!
The iron door opened, and the skeletons, pushing a cart, walked in.
“I want to see Wu Heng, I'm responsible for all the intelligence concerning the Second Prince, I can definitely help him,” said the Intelligence Minister immediately.
The skeletons did not respond and harshly held him down to inject the virus.
About 3 minutes later.
The Intelligence Minister had also transformed into a zombie.
The skeletons continued to the third room to proceed with more virus injections.
In the surveillance room.
Wu Heng watched the entire process.
An 18th-level professional's resistance was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Normally, when an ordinary person was bitten, their body would turn into a zombie within a second or two.
The transformation was almost instantaneous.
But the virus injected into these three was extracted from a previous Zombie King, taking about 3 to 5 minutes to complete the transformation.
It seems that higher levels provide greater resistance to the virus.
If it wasn't a direct injection, and instead an ordinary zombie had bitten them, they might have held out for even longer, or resisted it altogether.
Xiao Xiao flew back excitedly, “Uncle, I checked, they are still level 18, but they haven't grown shiny wings.”
Still at level 18, directly equivalent to a Zombie King.
“It might not be a complete transformation yet, let's check again in a few days,” Wu Heng said.
“Oh oh!” Xiao Xiao nodded.
“Let's go, let's head back first and continue searching for the Second Prince. Chasing after the elder lady wasn't even this troublesome,” Wu Heng stood up.
The Three Ghosts laughed and dove into his body.
Back in the Otherworld, they appeared in a private room in a tavern.
The room was still empty.
Complaints from the bartender and sounds of cleaning drifted up from below.
After all, it was morning, and there wouldn't be many customers at this time.
The Three Ghosts were released, “Xiao Xiao, keep watch around here; Glenda, Bella, go and take a walk nearby, see if there's any new intelligence.”
“Okay!” The Three Ghosts flew out instantly.
Wu Heng stayed in the inner room and took out the Soundproof Pot, connecting the radio.
“Wen Mansha, are you there?”
Soon, Wen Mansha's anxious voice came through, “Master, a hero from the Snake Badge Consortium arrived at Seterde Fortress yesterday.”
Wu Heng's eyebrows furrowed in an instant, “Gran? Are you sure it's him?”
“It should be him. Luckily, he meant no harm. I let Hartel represent Lundham City, and gave him some gifts, which he also accepted,” Wen Mansha spoke directly.
Hearing there was no malice, and that he accepted the gifts, Wu Heng's heart relaxed, but he was still apprehensive.
Wasn't he supposed to be in the Royal Capital of the Kingdom?
Why run off to Seterde Fortress?
“It's too dangerous, I'll send you to Gold and Silver Island,” Wu Heng said outright.
Wen Mansha's tone was light, saying, “It's not that dangerous, he even gave me an emblem as a return gift, a colorful member's emblem from the Snake Badge Consortium, quite pretty.”
Colorful?
Wu Heng also had one; it was given to him after spending a certain amount of money.
The highest level of member's emblem.
Besides discounts and the right to use the Consortium's transport, in times of danger, one can enter the Consortium's buildings, where full protection is guaranteed.
It's a kind of assurance.
“That emblem signifies that you are an important client of the Consortium. I spent tens of thousands of Gold Coins to get one; if there's danger, you can go inside the Consortium, they will ensure your safety,” Wu Heng explained briefly.
“I see, so it's not that dangerous,” Wen Mansha chuckled.
Wu Heng thought it over and still said, “I'll give you a ticket for the Phantom Train, use it to leave if you're in danger.”
“Alright, I will listen to the master.”
Wu Heng continued, “I have two matters here.”
“Tell me!” Wen Mansha spoke gravely.
“The first thing, I've received a list that records the spies Lundham City has planted; I'll tell you about it next.”
“Great! I really need that.”
“The second thing, I have no intelligence on the Second Prince here. Arrange for a Messenger to come over, request to meet the Second Prince to discuss the cease-fire agreement; I'll see if I can locate him based on this.”
There was a brief silence on the other side.
Wen Mansha then said, “Alright, I'll choose two clever ones to handle this. Give me the list first.”
Wu Heng read the list written down by Glenda.
There was the sound of scribbling from the other side.
“That's all.”
“Alright, I'll go arrange it now, master be careful.”
“You too, stay safe.”
They finished speaking and immediately hung up the communication.
After sitting in the room for a while.
Bella flew back in and directly said, “Wu Heng, a notice has been posted in the city, the Second Prince will give a speech in the square in three days.”
