Chapter 687: Chapter 555, Blood Clan Fleet Chapter 687: Chapter 555, Blood Clan Fleet Wu Heng slapped his thigh and said, “You see, we thought of the same thing. That's why I just told her to sign a Slavery Contract, but she didn't agree.”
Ahem~!
Xi Ligui cleared her throat, “You asked 'Mackintosh' to sign a Slavery Contract with you? She's a level 15 professional, and she's been the leader for so many years.”
“Ah… am I not worthy?” Wu Heng asked in return.
“She didn't curse at you, did she?”
“I feel like she cursed me in her heart, and almost did out loud.”
Xi Ligui, with a smiling face, said, “That's what I thought… It seems this matter won't lead anywhere. We'll have to train someone from scratch for intelligence gathering.”
“Yeah, she hasn't given me an answer yet. She said she would stay on the island for a couple of days to see how things go. If she refuses us, we'll just support someone on our own.”
Xi Ligui nodded, then looked at him with some confusion, “You haven't fallen for her, have you? You like that type?”
“Give me a break. It's entirely for the good of Gold and Silver Island. Otherwise, you sign the contract with her,” Wu Heng immediately retorted.
“You're the Island Master; what would it mean if I signed?” Xi Ligui said with crossed arms.
She belonged to the Stewards.
She could be transferred at any time, and even if the other party agreed to sign, it wasn't suitable for her to sign the contract.
Wu Heng picked up his teacup, took a sip, leaned forward, and lowered his voice, “Have there been any news from the Yeko Kingdom recently?”
“No? Did you get some news?” Xi Ligui also leaned in and whispered back.
“I heard the old king is dead.”
Xi Ligui's brows furrowed instantly, “Really? Who said that? Is it reliable?”
“You forgot, I came from the Yeko Kingdom. I still have old friends over there, and they too heard it from others.”
Xi Ligui pondered for a moment, “It might be true, as we haven't heard much from the Yeko Kingdom for a long time. They must be blocking the news.”
“We should be cautious on our island too, to avoid any new pirates emerging.”
“Alright!”
Creak~!
As they spoke in hushed tones, the door to the conference room was suddenly opened.
Shi Yali, seeing them close together and whispering, stopped abruptly as she entered.
She closed the door again.
Xi Ligui glared and promptly stood up, saying, “I'll be going back first. Remember to let me know if something comes up.”
“Oh, sure. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the time.”
“I'll make time.”
Xi Ligui left, closing the door behind her and quickly followed the retreating Shi Yali.
Wu Heng also put the water glass back onto the side cabinet and, accompanied by the Skeleton, headed to the city hall.
And visited the newly completed design institute.
Along with the Dwarf designer and several other designers, he discussed the upcoming construction plans.
The main focus was on the choice of sites for several new factories.
They needed to demarcate the locations in advance and pave roads for convenient transportation.
As dusk approached, Wu Heng returned to the Island Master's Manor.
Inside the Island Master's Manor.
After dining with a few maids, he went straight upstairs and walked into the study.
Glenda was still rewriting novels, and Xiao Xiao was watching cartoons next to her, laughing foolishly.
Ghosts are truly wonderful, at least there's no impact on their intelligence.
Both ghosts ignored him.
Wu Heng didn't bother them either, he returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, pondering the events of the past few days and planning for the future.
“Everything is going smoothly on Gold and Silver Island; next is the development of industrialization.”
“It's best to combine machinery with Runes to create energy-efficient Runes equipment.”
The Flame Fire Power Plant had given Wu Heng quite an inspiration.
The furnace replaced fuel heating, not only reducing costs but also eliminating smoke pollution, which satisfied Wu Heng a lot.
Wu Heng also wondered if he could combine Runes and machinery to create something similar.
This was worth researching.
“Then there's the construction of factories, the development of Elixirs, the building of Money Cat and the entertainment district; all these need to progress more quickly.”
All these things also needed to be implemented in due course.
“Regarding the Zombie World, one task is to continue recruiting talent in various fields. Basically, it's a battle with the headquarters for people now. Talent helps both worlds' development.”
“The second issue is to clear Zombies from the cities and rescue survivors.”
According to Qi Hancai, survivors from the cities are calling for help on our channels.
Wu Heng did have the desire to save more people and to boost his own reputation.
But the country is too big; it's not easy to travel from city to city even if the transportation were convenient.
Moreover, entering cities to clean up Zombies and arranging the rescue of survivors is not a simple task.
Arms crossed behind his head, he thought, “Let skeletons scatter to clear Zombies from the cities around! Seems feasible.”
Skeletons slaying zombies, Wu Heng would gain experience.
And higher-level skeletons, already possessing a certain level of intelligence, normally had no problem dispersing and clearing zombies on their own.
The number of skeletons reserved in each city had also reached over a million.
“Simply relying on skeletons isn't enough. We also need to arrange for Big Head Skeletons that can command, as well as survivor squads.”
“We can initiate a class change for those we trust, let them lead teams to try and take my place in slaying zombies and rescuing survivors.”
“We can try that! Let's see which profession is suitable for killing zombies at that time.”
He quickly ran through the problem in his mind.
Turn off the lights, go to sleep.
Late at night, Emerald Sea.
The dark sea was like ink, the cold moon casting its glow.
A fleet hanging scarlet wings sailed swiftly.
The hull cut through the sea, raising waves in its wake.
A figure stood at the bow, tall and straight, eyes glowing red.
The sea breeze passed, causing the black cloak to flutter in the wind.
At that moment, another figure quickly approached from the deck and whispered, “Master, Gold and Silver Island lies ahead. According to intelligence, the association divided the island to a Vice-executive not too long ago. The culprit who killed Lady Melanis is very likely the Steward on the island.”
The figure at the bow looked toward the distant light shining through the darkness and said, “Circumvent the island, our goal is to rescue the other Elders of the clan, these people will be dealt with later.”
“Yes, respected Master.”
“Check the map and accelerate. Lilith also copied one of these maps. She will likely arrange for people to go there too, we need to be faster.”
“Yes!” The servant turned and went below deck shouting, “The Master commands, full speed ahead, get all the slaves up and working.”
With the orders given, the fleet, under the cover of night, picked up its speed once more.
Moving towards their destination.
The next day.
After breakfast, Wu Heng went to the Zombie World.
After listening to Qi Hancai's arrangements.
Wu Heng looked at Gao Rong, “How are those printing presses doing?”
Gao Rong replied, “Two of them are fine, just that the ink in the cartridges has dried up. We're cleaning it, and they'll be ready to use after. The remaining one won't start up, we're still searching for the cause, and we'll try replacing some parts later to see.”
Two were enough, at least for the printing needs of Gold and Silver Island.
“I'll arrange a few skeletons for you, to teach them to write content and do typesetting, to complete the whole printing process in the next few days.”
Gao Rong nodded, “Alright, that's not difficult.”
Wu Heng continued to look at Qi Hancai, “Nothing wrong with the base, right?”
“No issues! Everything is running smoothly.”
“Mhm.”
Then, Wu Heng went to the warehouse to collect all the bullets that had been produced in the past few days.
Glancing at the time, he passed through the boundary door, returning to Gold and Silver Island.
Wu Heng walked downstairs.
He saw Philippa also playing with a few Flying Dragons.
They were either originally sold to Pirates, or it might be the effect of the 'Turn beast into friend bracelet'.
The Flying Dragons seemed less fierce.
In fact, they were quite well-behaved.
Wu Heng's initial plan was to feed them Corpse Cores to see the changes.
Now that the Flying Dragons were so docile, he hesitated to proceed.
“Philippa!” Wu Heng called out.
Philippa turned her head, pushing the parrot off her head, and hopped over.
“I came early! Mini said you were resting, so I waited a while.”
“How's everything with the fleet?” Wu Heng sat down on the sofa.
Philippa naturally sat on his lap, “Those five ships from the Dragon Trafficking Team have been remodeled, nobody can tell whose ships they are. They have also been armed and are all docked at the newly built harbor.”
“Well done, you're still very conscientious about the ship's affairs.”
“What are you talking about, I was a captain too, good at controlling the overall situation!” Philippa emphasized.
“Get ready, we'll be setting out to sea in a bit.”
“Setting out to sea, that's great! Then I'll go back and prepare. We'll meet at the harbor.”
Her tone was excited.
“Yeah, don't be late, and don't tell anyone, including Millicent.”
Philippa clenched her fist, “Don't worry, I've got it in mind.”
After speaking, she left quickly, with the parrot following behind.
Wu Heng also told Mini and the others, donned his cloak and veil, rode in a carriage, and headed to the exclusive harbor.
