Chapter 676: Chapter 547, 4 Fighter Jets Escort_2 Chapter 676: Chapter 547, 4 Fighter Jets Escort_2 Wu Heng said, “I came to talk to you about this matter.”
Xi Ligui put her helmet aside and raised her eyebrows, “Whatever it is, it can wait until you return. Pirates won't stay in one place for too long. Once they leave, it'll be difficult to find them on the sea.”
“No, I've already returned, and I've killed the people,” Wu Heng said immediately, seeing that she was getting impatient.
“You've returned? You mean, you've already killed those pirates?” Xi Ligui frowned.
“Yes, I did what you said, I came to deliver the Flying Dragons to the pirates. But since I couldn't find the pirates and didn't want to return empty-handed, I plundered the merchant ships along the shipping route.”
Then Wu Heng went on to recount the events in detail.
Xi Ligui sat down beside him, staring at him, “You sure you went?”
“Why would I lie to you? I brought back all five ships, they're at the port,” Wu Heng leaned back and took a sip from his teacup.
“How did you get there so fast?” Xi Ligui pressed.
“That's for me to know, as long as the job is done, that's all that matters.”
Xi Ligui glared at him, then said, “Where did you say they came from?”
“Casar City, I heard it's outside the Emerald Sea.”
Xi Ligui drank her tea, pondering, “I'll report to headquarters and have the local association in 'Casar City' handle this matter.”
Wu Heng also thought for a moment, “Sure, you handle it. Anyway, I've taken care of the scene when I killed them. Even if they send someone to investigate, they won't find any traces leading back to us.”
“Okay, you're the professional!” Xi Ligui said expressionlessly as she praised him, then added, “Once we have more ships, we'll increase the patrols along the shipping routes to prevent new pirates from emerging.”
“Yes, with the five ships we've acquired, I've also ordered a few more from the merchant convoy. I'll organize them into a patrol fleet once they arrive.”
“Good, the sooner the better.”
“I know.”
After finishing the conversation, Xi Ligui inquired about the several metal poles that had been erected in the Central District.
Wu Heng kept it mysterious, only telling her that it was a part of the island's development.
In time, she would understand their purpose.
The two chatted for a while.
Wu Heng left the association, and Xi Ligui began to write the report, preparing to submit it to the association.
Returning home.
A few maids greeted him outside the door.
Besides Mini, Annette and Robey, Philippa with a parrot on her shoulder also came out from the house.
After three maids played coy.
Hands on her hips, Philippa said, “What do you mean by going out to sea without me, your captain?”
Um…
“It was sudden, no ships were needed, so I didn't call for you,” Wu Heng explained.
Philippa was skeptical, “You went alone with Xi Ligui, didn't you? You didn't want to bring me along, did you?”
Wu Heng put his hand on her shoulder, and the parrot flew to a branch nearby.
Wrapping his arm around her as they walked to his room, he said, “What are you talking about? She didn't go either. The task was a bit special, and not one that required taking a ship.”
“Alright, I can accept that. But I am a captain after all. Take me with you next time; staying on the island is boring,” Philippa said, smiling again now that she heard there was a real reason.
Back in the living room, after waiting for a little while,
Lunch was served.
They chatted casually while eating lunch.
Wu Heng continued, “Philippa, I brought back five large cargo ships to the port. You'll go and retrofit them later; we'll use them for patrolling the shipping routes.”
“Sure, I'll go after lunch,” Philippa responded, then asked, “What were they used for before?”
“You can think of them as being used for transporting livestock.”
“I know, those kind of ships stink on the inside. We used to hate those when we were hijacking ships; so hard to clean.”
“Leave the cleaning to the Skeletons then, make sure it's thoroughly clean.”
“Understood,” Philippa nodded.
After lunch, the maids decided to accompany Philippa to the port to see the ships.
Wu Heng returned to his study and went through the boundary door to the Zombie World.
Stepping out of the dormitory building.
He stood at the doorway and waited, and Qi Hancai came from behind.
“Got any plans for today?”
Wu Heng shook his head, “Let's head to the Withered Wood Forest behind here.”
“Do we need a car?”
“Not for now.”
The two of them headed to the Withered Wood Forest, surrounded by a large number of Skeleton Army troops.
Wu Heng took out the carcasses of several Flying Dragons and laid them out in front of him on the open ground.
Qi Hancai's eyes widened as she looked at the dragon corpses.
So many!
Skeleton Flying Dragons were irreplaceable in battle.
A few rounds of aerial bombing could clear out 80% of the Zombies.
The Skeleton Flying Dragons were now stationed at both the military factory and the airfield.
There weren't quite enough of them.
The appearance of so many dragon corpses meant certain improvement for the base.
Wu Heng counted carefully, totaling 38 carcasses.
He then released the [Battleground of Remains], and as the flesh fell from the dragon carcasses, Skeleton Flying Dragons began to rise from amongst the fragments.
They shook their bodies, splattering rotting flesh.
[Skeleton Flying Dragon (Level 12)]
[Skeleton Flying Dragon (Level 13)]
[Skeleton….]
All the dragons were basically at Level 12 or Level 13, which was quite decent.
“Stand by here,” Wu Heng commanded.
The restless Skeleton Flying Dragons gradually calmed down.
One by one, they curled up and lay in the open spaces between the trees in the forest.
Wu Heng continued to Qi Hancai, “Send a few to the airfield later.”
“Okay!” Qi Hancai nodded.
“Also, I remember Zhang Chi had come up with a design for attaching machine guns to the dragons. Have him arrange for someone to bring it over, let's see if we can work it out.”
“Sure, I'll contact them when I get back.”
The two returned to the base.
At dusk, back to Gold and Silver Island.
