Studying blueprint knowledge also helps a mechanist improve.
Especially the machinery from the modern world, which has significant differences from the devices of the otherworld.
It is easier to gain enlightenment or to learn new related knowledge.
“Thank you, Lord Island Master,” Costas expressed his gratitude.
“Are the power plant preparations in Netalee City all ready?” Wu Heng asked again.
Costas nodded. “We're still preparing, but we expect everything to be ready within a week.”
“Let me know when you're ready, and I'll arrange for you to go over.”
In a week's time, Philippa would roughly be back from there too.
By then, they could be arranged to go together, which would make handling matters a bit more secure.
“Alright, my lord.”
“I'll leave this to you, just come to me directly,” Wu Heng said, then called a horse carriage to return to the Island Lord's Mansion.
After returning to the Island Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng went back to his study, opened the boundary door, and returned to the Zombie World.
On the other side of the boundary door, the factory in the Zombie World was already emptied out, leaving only a mess on the floor.
Walking out of the factory courtyard, Li Yahong and the convoy were waiting not far away.
“Let's go!” Wu Heng approached and got into the passenger seat.
Li Yahong also got into the vehicle and, after giving the order, the convoy slowly started.
“The radio just broadcasted a message saying that the people from headquarters are on their way here, expected to arrive at the train station around two in the afternoon.”
“That urgent?” Wu Heng was a bit surprised.
“They probably don't have any solutions for the ghosts yet and are thus in a rush to come over,” Li Yahong said with a smile.
“Let's go then; we'll head straight to the train station since there's not much time left,” Wu Heng said directly.
Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order.
The convoy took a turn at the road ahead, heading towards the train station.
Around two-thirty in the afternoon.
The train arrived at the station.
These two trains are from the Xinfu City base, used for transporting materials between there and Yangtong City.
The doors opened, and three people quickly stepped off.
The lead was 'Lv Chang'an,' whom he had dealt with several times before.
The Commander of the third-level headquarters, specifically in charge of negotiating trades with Wu Heng's side.
The two people following also looked young and strong, likely serving as bodyguards.
Someone walked out from the platform to lead the three men directly into a room within the station.
When the door opened, they saw Wu Heng and Li Yahong sitting at the inside.
“Leader Wu!” Lv Chang'an squeezed out a smile.
“Commander Lv!” Wu Heng stood up to shake hands with the other party.
“Leader Wu, it's said your superpower can restrain ghosts; we need your help with this,” Lv Chang'an got straight to the point.
“Commander Lv, anyone who encounters ghosts is in danger,” Wu Heng said with a troubled look.
“Leader Wu can name his conditions. If it's within my authority, I can agree right away; if not, there's nothing I can do,” Lv Chang'an continued.
Unlike the previous negotiations, Lv Chang'an got straight to the point about dealing with the ghosts as soon as he came in.
“I need modern technology; give me some high-tech personnel,” Wu Heng said directly.
Lv Chang'an's brow furrowed instantly, “Leader Wu, I absolutely cannot agree to your request; I can't just tie people up and bring them to you.”
Wu Heng continued, “What's within your authority, just tell me.”
“I can give you five hundred Level 1 Corpse Cores and two armored vehicles as compensation for this time,” Lv Chang'an said.
Wu Heng shook his head, “I want five Third-level corpse cores, ten armored vehicles, and you need to provide me with training and support for any technology I require.”
“I agree to the training, but you're asking for too many armored vehicles; I can only provide you with a maximum of five, but I can give you two more Third-level corpse cores, making a total of seven,” Lv Chang'an replied.
Seeing that the other side was straightforward, Wu Heng also didn't intend to say much more and simply agreed, “Okay, I have no objections.”
“Then, can we depart now? This matter is rather urgent. After we return, the compensation can be paid to you first,” Lv Chang'an said.
Wu Heng looked at Li Yahong and then toward the three men, “Commander Lv, you and your men wait in the vehicle for a bit. I need to make some arrangements. Then we can go together.”
“Alright, we'll wait for you in the vehicle,” Lv Chang'an got up and left the room.
Li Yahong said, “Going directly, will there be danger?”
“It's unlikely, but we should still be careful. I'll have Xiao Xiao keep an eye on them. Once we reach Yangtong City, we'll use our planes to go.”
“I'll follow you then!”
“No need, you stay and watch the house, and you can handle any matters that come up.”
Li Yahong pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Wu Heng made brief preparations and walked out of the building, and boarded the train heading for Yangtong City.
On the train.
Commander Lv Chang'an and his two companions sat opposite Wu Heng, who was alone on one side with two skeleton attendants standing beside him.
“How did you encounter the ghost, and what are some of the ways it attacks people?” Wu Heng asked directly.
Commander Lv Chang'an sighed and said, “We encountered a ghost during a clearing mission. After the team retreated, we thought we had shaken it off but later discovered it followed us back.”
Wu Heng nodded, “And its methods of attack?”
“Its attack method is to wrest control of a person's body to attack others. We basically have no means to deal with it,” answered Commander Lv Chang'an.
This was a basic characteristic of ghosts; all three ghosts he had knew how to do it.
“Now, where is it?”
“We had planned to arrange an evacuation, but on the way back, we discovered the ghost was still following and trying to kill. This team didn't dare proceed to the new base, and the outdoors are very dangerous, with the risk of sudden unforeseen situations.”
“I understand,” Wu Heng nodded.
“Do you think you can handle it, Leader Wu?” Commander Lv Chang'an continued to ask.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “As it currently stands, it shouldn't be a problem. We'll see how it goes!”
The train moved forward tirelessly.
A few hours later, they entered Yangtong City.
Gao Rong was already waiting at the airport. He had arranged the base's airplanes and more than ten Skeleton Flying Dragons.
The pilots of the base's planes were trained skeletons, having completed several flight tests without any issues.
After making preparations.
Commander Lv Chang'an boarded his plane, and others boarded theirs as well.
Soon, the command plane left.
The base's plane took off shortly afterward, escorted by several Flying Dragons, following behind.
In Lundham City.
Skeleton Knights galloped all the way, charging through the city gate and heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
Once inside the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, they dismounted from their horses and handed over the letters they were carrying to Wen Mansha.
Wen Mansha sat on the City Lord's throne, breastfeeding her child on one side while taking the letter on the other.
A letter?
It was still the type used by the association.
She handed it to the steward nearby and said, “Open it. Who wrote it?”
The steward tore open the envelope and glanced at the content, saying, “It's from Steward Sylther. It says that Master Wu Heng has arranged for a spy to investigate information about the Evil Cult. The news has recently been sent to her, and she hopes you can pass the message to Master Wu Heng.”
“Evil Cult? From where was the news sent to Steward Sylther?” Wen Mansha's brow was still furrowed.
“From Ergiro City in the Yeko Kingdom.”
Netalee City's army had encircled and killed a base investigation team, which was related to the Evil Cult.
Now again, news came from the Evil Cult, the Yeko Kingdom really became a nest for the Evil Cult.
She gently rocked the child, “Once you're full, go to sleep. I'm going to tell Daddy the news.”
Handing the child to the steward, she wiped her chest, damp with the baby's drool, with a handkerchief.
She tucked the handkerchief back into her clothing and turned to walk upstairs.
Reaching the radio room, she picked up the microphone, “Lord, Steward Sylther has sent a piece of intelligence, concerning the news about the Evil Cult in Ergiro City.”
Sitting in front of the radio and waiting a while, seeing no message coming back,
She stood up and went downstairs.
“Leader Wu, the convoy is ready. We can go over at any time,” said Commander Lv Chang'an directly.
In just two hours, they arrived at the city mentioned by 'Commander Lv Chang'an.'
Unlike the cities reclaimed by Wu Heng's side,
This place looked more like a modern battlefield, having been baptized by artillery fire.
Collapsed buildings, shell holes, and broken walls.
It was rather bleak.
Wu Heng said, “We don't need it; you come with me on the Flying Dragon. No need for others to follow, having more people might actually complicate things.”
With a beckoning gesture, several Skeleton Flying Dragons crouched and bowed their heads; Wu Heng promptly climbed aboard.
He then signaled 'Commander Lv Chang'an' to follow.
Commander Lv Chang'an's eyes widened as he looked at the Skeleton Flying Dragon, hesitating to move his feet.
