Chapter 1025: Chapter 818, So It's Her (One Chapter Today) Chapter 1025: Chapter 818, So It's Her (One Chapter Today) Nilar City, outdoors.
The night heavily enshrouded the surroundings, with intermittent insect chirps and wild animal roars emerging from the jungle.
Inside an abandoned hunter's cabin, a dim Illuminating Stone hung from the ceiling, barely casting a halo of light.
Several figures were seated around the cabin.
After a brief exchange of information,
The man sitting at the doorway, with falcon-like eyes, spoke, “The Prince is scheduled to give a speech at the central square. You all should be aware of this, right?”
“Choosing this time to give a speech is supposedly to calm the public's spirit, but in reality, it is intended to lure out the person secretly killing the officials,” the speaker paused and then added, “Of course, that prince suspects us.”
Someone asked, “So, is this speech real or fake?”
“It definitely won't be the Prince himself; it's definitely a setup, waiting to draw out the person lurking in the shadows.”
“Let's see if the real one will fall for it.”
“I think he won't show up. Being able to silently abduct two Level 18s, how could he not see through this trick?”
The people whispered among themselves.
The woman sitting across spoke, “The Second Prince indeed needs to pacify his subordinates, not the common folk, but the elites in the city.”
As she spoke, she took out a crumpled parchment, holding it up amidst the smoke, and placed it on the wooden table in the middle.
“This is today's list of nobles and merchants leaving the city. He is safe in hiding, but other officials don't think so. If the speech's stand-in is killed, more officials and elites will leave the city, at that point, the city would cease to function.”
The people in the cabin were stunned, not expecting her to propose this.
They took turns looking at the list.
Someone voiced, “Although risky, I agree with this idea.”
“It's worth a try.”
The others also voiced out, considering the plan feasible.
The figure by the door said, “Then let's prepare. If the timing is right, kill the stand-in.”
Everyone nodded.
The door opened, and they left the cabin, vanishing into the night.
The next day, morning.
After breakfast, Wen Mansha and Hartel went directly to the radio room.
They issued commands to Lundham City, discreetly dealing with individuals from the obtained list of informants.
A clean sweep this time should bring some peace to Lundham City for a while.
Wu Heng didn't get involved with Lundham City's affairs but instead opened the boundary door in his study and walked in.
On the other side was still the surveillance room.
After releasing some Ghosts, he sat in front of the monitors.
“Bring up the surveillance for cells 202, 203, 204.”
The Skeleton operated the surveillance, pulling up the feeds from the three cells.
In the monitors, the three Zombies had no semblance to humans anymore. Their skin was bluish-black, like soaked rotting wood with large patches peeling away, revealing the dark red muscle underneath.
They struggled restlessly, trying to break free from their chains or roaring at the watching Skeletons.
Sigh~
Xiao Xiao and Bella flew back inside.
They said, “Uncle, still Level 19, no advancement overnight.”
It seemed the two Ghosts had gone out to check levels together.
“No rush, just keep feeding them, they'll reach Level 20 sooner or later,” Wu Heng said.
Breaking through to Level 19 in a day was already a good start.
Continued feeding with the Corpse Core should make reaching Level 20 an achievable task.
Moreover, according to his own speculation,
Zombies transformed from professionals should evolve more easily than ordinary Zombies.
“Ooh! Am I naming them this time?” Xiao Xiao asked smilingly.
Wu Heng replied, “Gran, you and Bella each name one.”
“That works!” agreed Xiao Xiao.
Bella added from the side, “Let Xiao Xiao do it, I don't have any nice names.”
“It's about participating! Have uncle name them and it's always just numbers, such ugly names,” Xiao Xiao floated by and remarked.
Oh boy, fighting over who gets to name, thinking their own names are ugly.
“Then I'll start thinking now so I'm ready in time,” Bella said.
Gran also shifted his gaze from his book towards them.
Wu Heng continued, “Xiao Xiao, go get the Skeleton Alchemist, and bring its notebook.”
“Oh, okay!” Xiao Xiao responded and flew straight out.
He waited in the surveillance room.
Xiao Xiao came back through the walls, pointing outside, “They're here.”
Creak~
The door opened, and the Skeleton Alchemist entered with the notebook.
Standing nearby, it bowed slightly.
“At ease!” Xiao Xiao floated in front, puffing out her chest as she spoke.
Wu Heng glanced at her disapprovingly, then spoke to the Skeleton Alchemist, “Let me take a look at the notebook.”
The notebook was handed over, and Wu Heng immediately started reading.
The writing was in Otherworld script, even if the notebook was lost, it would be difficult to decode in this world.
He directly flipped to today's latest entry.
