The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 635

Chapter 635: Chapter 518, This Is Unscientific (Part 1, bonus not yet devised)._2 Chapter 635: Chapter 518, This Is Unscientific (Part 1, bonus not yet devised)._2 Wang Haibing's eyes snapped open, looking somewhat troubled.

He tentatively said, “Leader, it would be better if we took responsibility for the power plant, we don't need to trouble those skeletons, right?”

Wu Heng replied, “This has to do with the second matter I wanted to discuss with you. The other bases also need to have their power plants restored, and I plan to have the skeletons take charge of that. You just need to focus on managing the factory here.”

There were already plenty of skeletons under his command, and as their levels increased, their intelligence was fully on par with that of ordinary people.

They could also learn some abilities.

The power plant was one such area.

It required the skeletons to complete the task.

Whether it be the other bases or the planned factories in the Otherworld, skeletons would be extensively utilized.

Wang Haibing cautiously glanced at Qi Hancai standing at the side, and seeing no intention to speak from him, nodded and said, “I will try my best to teach these skeleton friends.”

Wu Heng nodded and addressed Qi Hancai, “In the next couple of days, arrange for someone to take him to the other bases to check on the situation of their power plants.”

“Understood,” Qi Hancai complied.

Wu Heng continued to address the Skeleton 'Zombie King' beside him, “Bring over the skeletons I've picked out. Starting today, follow Wang Haibing.”

Noises of bones grinding against each other came up from downstairs.

50 skeletons congregated below.

“That's settled then, you can go back now. The power plant is in your hands.”

“Yes, leader.”

Wang Haibing responded and turned to leave.

Wang Haibing left.

Qi Hancai loosened up from his serious demeanor.

With a smile, he said, “We must be the first to have restored normal power supply. The other bases would surely be green with envy if they knew.”

When they were using solar panels to provide electricity.

They were already the envy of many bases through the radio.

Now that they had directly restored power plant electricity, and it was the kind that didn't require fuel consumption.

If word got out, even the central station would express surprise and envy.

“Don't publicize this for now; we'll just use it for ourselves,” Wu Heng said.

“I understand, make a silent fortune,” Qi Hancai said with a laugh.

Wu Heng then inquired, “How's the situation with the blueprints from central station?”

“No news yet, but I will go and ask them later.”

“Hmm, first find out what they are up to. These next two days, also prepare to take over the airport for us.”

“Alright, I'll plan out a route when the time comes.”

The two sat in the room and chatted for a while.

Qi Hancai went to arrange for the operation of other production chains, while Wu Heng, through the boundary door,

returned to Gold and Silver Island.

Back in his study,

Wu Heng shed his down jacket.

There was a huge temperature difference between the two places, which was actually quite uncomfortable.

After changing clothes, he poured himself a cup of tea.

He sat back down at his desk

and began to ponder the next steps in his development plan.

In the Zombie World, the military factory had its electricity supply restored, and all other workshops could begin working entirely.

His task was to provide sufficient raw materials.

Once that was in place, the issue with bullets would be completely resolved; no need to worry about running out of ammunition.

In fact, the use of the Flame Furnace at the power plant provided insight.

Perhaps other Magic Buildings could be combined with modern machinery to create something new.

“This could be worth researching.”

Another concern was the matter of his reputation.

This thing was now a complete impediment, growing too slowly, and he had yet to find a precise way to enhance it.

It was a bit tricky to handle.

The development of Gold and Silver Island was still expanding.

But with the expansion of the new area, electrical supply preparations needed to be made in advance, which would require careful discussion with the island's designers.

Wu Heng took a sip of water.

“And then there's the Skill Book, level 18 skills are a bit hard to find.”

The 'Mansion Skill' was acquired at a Snake Badge Consortium auction.

And the Gold and Silver Island Association did not have level 18 Skill Books for exchange with merits.

It would be difficult for him to obtain them.

“The old dean… he said that I could join their research association once I reached level 15.”

“Perhaps I could give that a try.”

The skill released by that old dean at the time was very likely to be level 18.

Not to mention the other aspects, mastering those two moves alone would not be a loss.

After resting in the study for a while,

he also left the room and went downstairs.

Three maids were planting flowers in the flower bed.

“Master,” Robey and Annette greeted with a bow.

“Master, would you like to have lunch?” Mini asked.

“Not hungry yet, you go ahead. I'm going to try out some magic over there,” he replied.

“Very well, master,” Mini smiled.

He walked to the other side of the clearing.

Wu Heng began to study his own skill, “Modern Ken Mansion Skill.”

Last time when he faced off against the Blood Clan of the Stone Coffin, the internal ballistae of the Mansion Skill activated and blasted the enemy away.

The effect displayed was still quite impressive.

As long as it was well constructed, it could play a significant role.

Releasing the “Mansion Skill,” a rift appeared out of nowhere, the rustic stone door inside slammed open, revealing the luxurious great hall behind it, along with the ballistae near the entrance.

The release of the Mansion Skill would vary in size depending on the space available.

In the open space outside, the stone door was close to six meters high and nearly four meters wide.

Whereas last time, inside the stone house on Deer Antler Island, only a little over two meters high stone door was opened.

There was no change to the interior arrangement, only the entrance door had changed.

In the distance, three maids also put down their work,

and curiously looked over.

They whispered guesses among themselves but did not come over.

Standing at the entrance, Wu Heng began to contemplate the internal structure.

As the thoughts in his mind arose,

the structure after the stone door began to change.

A series of terraced iron frames were erected, machine cannons were placed on the iron frames, aiming far ahead.

He could supply the shells himself,

and could fully activate them when the time came.

No, the remaining space inside wasn't being utilized at all.

Then, changes occurred inside once more.

Below the iron frame, an entryway formed, the size of a regular door, leading into a room.

But he still didn't feel quite satisfied, it didn't make the most of its unique features.

It changed again.

After several modifications,

it finally formed a layout with a door over two meters high below, allowing normal access inside, the second floor with three machine guns, and the third and fourth floors turned into machine cannon fortresses.

The interior was no longer a luxurious living room but had all the furniture removed,

to serve as an armory.

In the absence of a boundary door, he could open the “Mansion Skill” to mobilize forces.

The machine guns and cannons above were to form a fortress, capable of some defense and offense.

After a few changes, the result in front of him was satisfactory.

He directed skeletons to move some ammunition inside, and then proceeded with the operation of the machine guns and gun turrets.

Feeling that it was not too different, and his magic power had also been seriously depleted,

he canceled the “Mansion Skill,” and the stone door disappeared.

Returning to the living room, he chatted with the three maids for a while,

and as dusk approached, Andre Willow returned from outside.

The few of them headed to the dining room for dinner.

Wu Heng asked, “Wei'er, has there been any news from the caravan purchasing white gunpowder and other materials?”

Discussing business with the caravan was something Wu Heng personally handled.

Having the Island Master involved made things seem more reliable and progressed more smoothly.

But subsequent matters

were handled by the agreement signed between the city hall and the caravan.

Andre Willow said, “There's been no news yet, I will ask someone about it tomorrow and tell you then.”

“Hmm, have them hurry, it's been several days,” he said.

“Alright, I will go tomorrow,” she replied.

After dinner, Wu Heng also went to the training room to practice swordsmanship.

They each went upstairs to rest.

Early the next morning,

just after breakfast, Mini walked in with a member of the association.

“Master, the steward Xi Ligui has arranged for someone to come find you,” she said.

Wu Heng looked over.

It was a member of the association's team.

The team member saluted and said, “Island Master, steward Xi Ligui requests your presence.”

“Do you know what for?” he asked.

“I do not know, the steward did not say,” the team member replied.

“Alright, I'll get ready and go over,” Wu Heng said.

The team member saluted again, then followed Mini out of the manor.

If there were any cases or arrests to be made, they would come to him directly.

Now calling him over should mean the association had something for him.

After a brief preparation, he also left the manor.

Taking a carriage, he headed towards the association.

Standing in front of Xi Ligui's study, he knocked gently on the door,

and then entered.

In the study, Xi Ligui sat behind a desk with assistant Shi Yali standing nearby.

“Looking for me?” he asked.

Xi Ligui looked up and said directly, “The association's rewards have come in, two pieces of First-Class Merits items, seven Second Level Merit rewards, and a total of 727 Gold Coins.”
