The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 856

Chapter 856: Chapter 689, Satellite Chapter 856: Chapter 689, Satellite Everyone's eyes narrowed once again.

Wu Heng meant that someone had destroyed evidence.

“Capture the City Lord and ask?” the Short people said.

“We need at least some evidence pointing to him; otherwise, you can't just capture the Lord of a city,” the Priest countered.

Thud, thud, thud!

The door was knocked again, followed by the voice of a squad member, “Elder, dinner is ready.”

“Let's eat first; we can talk about the rest later.”

The group all stepped out of the room.

The Priest conducted toxicity tests and purification on the dinner before they started eating together.

Over at the fleet, the cargo ship and Escort Ship had their own kitchens and a Skeleton Chef, so there was no need to specially deliver food.

This also reduced the risk of others approaching the fleet and causing danger.

After everyone had dinner.

Dorms were arranged, and Wu Heng returned to his room early.

Inside the dormitory.

Wu Heng set up a radio.

After adjusting the frequency, he said, “Mini, this is Wu Heng. Are there any problems at Gold and Silver Island?”

After speaking, Wu Heng activated “Mansion Skill” and summoned a Skeleton Investigator from inside, positioning it in front of the radio to oversee the reception of intelligence.

As soon as the Skeleton sat down, a voice came through the radio, “Master, have you arrived there?”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow; Mini was quite prompt.

The radio station at Gold and Silver Island was also manned by skeletons. Typically, the maids would check it morning and evening, not watching it constantly.

“We've arrived at Netalee City, don't worry.”

“That's great.”

“How is Gold and Silver Island?” Wu Heng asked.

Mini replied, “All is normal on Gold and Silver Island. There have been some problems since you left, but Xi Ligui, the Steward, resolved them.”

Xi Ligui was quite capable.

“How about Shanaela?”

“More and more people are buying goods on the island. Sister Shanaela sends several boxes of Gold Coins every day,” Mini said and then added, “By the way, Sister Shanaela said that when you return, she'll hold the second auction. The venue is also being re-established.”

“Let her handle the arrangements.” Wu Heng nodded.

“Master, has the case been solved?” Mini asked.

“Not yet; it's a bit difficult to investigate,” Wu Heng responded.

Then came Robey's voice, “Does Master miss us?”

“I do, I even dreamt of you.”

Next was Annette's voice, “Master, be careful. Philippa is quite careless, take good care of yourself.”

“Alright, I will. You all be safe too, wait for me to come back.”

“Understood, Master.” The three maids answered in unison.

“I've stationed a skeleton to watch over the radio here; communicate with him if anything arises.”

“Okay.”

“Can't talk now, there are things to deal with here.”

After the maids responded, Wu Heng hung up the communication.

He sat in the room waiting for a while.

Glenda also flew back from outside.

“How did it go?” Wu Heng asked.

Glenda said, “The City Lord is over 40 years old, a level 16 professional. He summoned the city's Guard Team Commander and officials, instructing them not to conflict with the association members.

The barracks have stationed quite a few people, one of them has reached a level 18 profession, preliminarily identified as a Great Fist Masters. As for your entrance into the city, the military has made no moves.”

A level 18 professional, Wu Heng's eyes narrowed.

Such a high level had been assigned to the army camp.

He remembered, while interviewing zombies in the graveyard, a corpse mentioned that originally, Netalee City couldn't defeat the foreign army.

Later, a batch of reinforcements appeared and helped defend this place.

It seemed it was this level 18 professional then.

If this level 18 had already been in the city, the narrative that they were outnumbered wouldn't exist.

“Did you find anything unusual?” Wu Heng asked.

Glenda replied, “I didn't find any significant problems, neither the City Lord nor the level 18 Commander talked much about the association's matters. The only slight issue is the large gap in levels; the highest in the army is level 18, followed by level 12 professionals, or even lower.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Let's pay more attention to it later.”

“Okay.”

“You come back first, let's go check out Zombie World,” Wu Heng said.

Glenda nodded and directly dove back into his body.

Wu Heng locked the door, opened the boundary door, and walked through.

Zombie World.

Stepping out of the boundary door, Wu Heng approached the window and opened it.

Letting some fresh air into the room.

Outside the window, he could see patrolling skeleton squads and some busy survivors, and even children kicking a ball on a distant platform.

It seemed new survivors had been added.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and called Qi Hancai.

Soon, footsteps resounded, and Qi Hancai, wearing blue jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, walked in.

“Leader!” Qi Hancai greeted with a smile.

Their relationship had grown closer, but they still used “Leader” as a form of address.

“Has the Korea Rescue Team arrived?” Wu Heng asked.

Before leaving, Qi Hancai had mentioned the Korea Rescue Team.

“They have, they brought a modernized army, looked quite impressive,” Qi Hancai said.

“What did they say?”

Qi Hancai took out a notebook from his pocket, flipped it open, and said, “They talked about three things: first, they wanted us to withdraw from their country, citing lots of national land, United Nations charters, and such–I didn't quite understand, so I just declined directly.

The second point was hoping to control the movements of the skeletons to avoid conflicts with them, aiming for a peaceful relationship, and discussing returning the land at a later time.

The third was about exchanging food; they must have heard about our domestic issues, directly proposed trading weapons for food, which I also declined since we don't have much food left.

And the last point, satellite sharing–they plan to rent the rights to use their satellites to us, which could provide communication, positioning, and some observational imagery.”

Hearing the last point, Wu Heng's brows instantly furrowed.

“Satellites? Those things can still operate?”

“It seems that they can still function and be of some use,” Qi Hancai said.

That was quite unexpected.

Satellites were still operational and seemed to be available for others to use.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “What are the terms for the lease?”

“They are going back to discuss it, and they will contact us via radio,” Qi Hancai closed his notebook.

“First ask how the lease works and then see if this thing can be helpful to us.”

“Okay!” Qi Hancai nodded, then added, “We also have made some progress on our side.”

Wu Heng poured two glasses of water, placing one in front of Qi Hancai, “What progress?”

“Gao Rong has started the trial production of the ammunition production chain, it won't be long before the final product is ready.”

“Um, that's good news,” Wu Heng nodded.

The efficiency on Gao Rong's side was high.

First the rifle production chain, and now the ammunition, the speed was surprisingly fast.

Qi Hancai smiled and continued, “Also, Yahong's sister mentioned taking over the pharmaceutical plant, she wants to send a few Alchemy Skeletons there to see if the elixirs can be produced in the form of pills or capsules.”
