A little girl, around ten years old, was staring straight at him.
She occasionally looked up at the sky and then at her own shoulder.
In her eyes was full of confusion and incomprehension.
“These people used to live here; their families should be quite well-off,” Qi Hancai spoke up again from the side.
Wu Heng turned his head to look at her, “Yeah, take a tally of their ages and professions, and we'll assign jobs when we get back. Note down anyone with special abilities separately.”
“Understood, someone's already taking registrations.”
“Good.”
After waiting by the side of the road for a while, the survivors began loading various items onto the trucks.
When the preparations were almost complete, the convoy turned around, heading in the direction of the military factory.
On the way back, in the truck.
Wu Heng had a drink of water and asked, “How has Wang Haibing been recently?”
“He's been training skeletons lately, seems very dedicated, arriving on time every day, like he's going to work,” Qi Hancai responded without taking her eyes off the road.
Wang Haibing's current task was to manage the military factory's power plant and train the skeletons he was given.
Later, once other power plants were built, these skeletons would be assigned there.
To maintain the operation of power plants in various places.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “Have him select a few skeletons that have learned well tomorrow; I'll need to take them with me.”
“Alright, I'll let him know when we get back,” Qi Hancai replied nonchalantly.
By this time, it had already gotten dark.
The convoy switched on the headlights, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
Wu Heng continued to inquire, “Has the headquarters contacted you again?”
“They did. They asked how we were considering it, and I told them we were not considering either of the two agreements; we can continue the material exchange as it is. They again mentioned it's for everyone's good, but seeing that we were firmly disagreeable, they dropped it.”
“Mmm, apart from the trade between both parties, other things are of no help to us,” Wu Heng stated.
“I know,” Qi Hancai said with a smile.
The convoy continued its way back to the factory.
Qi Hancai got off to arrange housing for the new survivors, while Wu Heng went back to his own dormitory.
He opened the boundary door and returned to Gold and Silver Island.
Descending from upstairs.
The hall was pitch black.
The sky on this side had darkened as well, and the maids had all returned to their rooms to rest.
Wu Heng first arranged the electric-skilled skeletons he had brought back in the courtyard.
He then had the Skeleton Chef prepare some dinner, which he began eating in the dining room.
Tap tap tap~!
The sound of footsteps approached.
Andre Willow, holding a pistol, came downstairs from the upper floor.
Seeing Wu Heng seated at the dining table, she smiled, “Master, eating dinner so late?”
“Mmm, would you like to join me?”
“No, if I get fat, you won't like me anymore.”
Wu Heng fondled the soft fox tail, “Our Wei'er, even a little chubbier, is cute.”
Andre Willow's cheeks flushed slightly, “That's not true, the competition is so fierce, I must keep in shape.
“What competition?”
“You wouldn't understand.”
Wu Heng continued to ask, “How has city hall been recently?”
“Everything's been pretty good. We've increased the number of Patrol Guards and the tax adjustments discussed previously have been settled lately. I'll bring it to you to see in a couple of days,” Andre Willow replied.
Wu Heng nodded, then inquired further, “What about the energy plant construction I mentioned before; how is that going?”
Andre Willow thought for a moment and said, “I heard things are going smoothly, but I haven't asked about the specific details yet.”
“Have the Dwarven designer come over tomorrow; I want to talk to him.”
“Alright, shall I have him come over tomorrow morning?”
“Yes.”
After exchanging a few words, Wu Heng finished the steak on his plate.
Wiping his mouth, he stood up and asked, “Wei'er, will you join me for the night?”
Andre Willow's eyes curved into crescents, “Sure, I'm a bit afraid of the dark tonight.”
“Come, I'll hold you to sleep tonight.”
“Great!”
In the morning, Wu Heng came downstairs, yawning.
After having breakfast together, Andre Willow went to the city hall, while the other three maids dragged Wu Heng to the courtyard.
They wanted to show him the garden they had renovated over the past two days.
All the original flowers and plants had been replaced with fruit trees.
They had turned the garden into an orchard.
They claimed that this way they could grow their own fruit.
Dong dong dong~!
While the three of them were chattering about the benefits of planting fruit trees, someone was knocking hard on the courtyard door.
Mini inquired through the window then quickly ran back in, saying, “Master, a representative from Starflower Commerce Association is here to discuss an order with you.”
Wu Heng was startled.
The matter with the Wood Elves, as Shanaela had just mentioned to him, and so quickly the Chamber's representative had come over.
It either meant the Wood Elves had already arranged to partner with him, or they too had some quick way of communicating and the other party knew to approach him for a partnership.
“Let them go to the living room,” Wu Heng made his way there.
Mini headed to the front door again, leading the person through a courtyard full of skeletons and armored vehicles, toward the living room.
In the living room.
The male Wood Elf in a black suit bowed slightly, “Starflower, Chamber representative 'Xie Mosi', is honored to meet the Island Master.”
His manner was elegant, as if attending a ball.
“Hello, please take a seat,” Wu Heng said.
The Wood Elf sat down, and the Cat Woman brought tea.
Once the maids had left, the Wood Elf began softly, “Island Master, I've come to discuss a potential partnership with you.”
“Mmm, I'm aware of the matter. I do indeed have some goods that I need to order from Starflower.”
“That is truly wonderful.” The Wood Elf immediately showed a smile.
