Chapter 973: Chapter 777, it seems like the Investigation Team started fighting (one update today). Chapter 973: Chapter 777, it seems like the Investigation Team started fighting (one update today). The Zombie King within the Mansion Skill was being forcibly dragged out by skeletons.
The moment he was dragged out of the stone gate of the Mansion Skill, the iron plates wrapped around his body disappeared, leaving only the chains coiled around him.
As the iron plates vanished, the Zombie King seemed to see hope and violently burst into a fierce struggle, flinging the chain-pulling skeletons all around.
They crashed loudly into the surrounding walls.
The skeletons quickly got back on their feet, grabbed their axes, and went straight for him, chopping away.
The Zombie King was still bound by the iron chains, unable to take even a step, and in the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground under the skeletons' hacking, issuing angry roars.
After a dozen axe blows, the Zombie King quieted down and was dragged, bloodied, into a single cell in the prison.
The cell was about twenty square meters, and all of its furnishings and equipment had been cleared out.
The Zombie King was thrown in the middle, and the skeletons followed in, continuing their close watch.
Wu Heng took out the Corpse Core and handed it to a skeleton, “Continue to feed it the Corpse Core.”
The skeleton took it, pulled one out of a plastic bag, and stuffed it into the Zombie King's mouth.
“Close the door,” Wu Heng said as he stepped out of the cell.
The iron door closed, cutting off the scene inside from the outside.
Unlike the iron bars of prison cells in the Otherworld, the modern world's prison cells have solid iron doors.
In the middle is a narrow horizontal observation slot; opening it allows one to see inside.
This arrangement is somewhat safer.
After dealing with the Zombie King.
Wu Heng walked around several prison blocks with the skeletons.
The prison was divided into different blocks, each containing a dozen or so different types of cells, with both single and multiple occupancy options.
Which criminals were housed with whom, Wu Heng wasn't too clear about.
He thought it might be a division between major offenders or ordinary criminals.
After opening each cell to take a look, he had a general idea in his mind.
Leaving the block, he used a satellite phone to call Li Yahong and also summoned electrician skeletons and welding skeletons.
In the office.
Wu Heng held a map of the block while explaining the renovation plans to several technical worker skeletons.
After the explanation, he sent them off to prepare, ready to start work at any time.
Once the technical worker skeletons had left, Wu Heng turned his attention back to Li Yahong.
“What do I need to do?” Li Yahong asked.
Wu Heng said, “Arrange for the materials the skeletons need for their work, make sure the people you send are reliable and can keep a secret.”
“Don't worry, the clay figurine you gave me is still around. If anyone has a big mouth and blabs, I can find out,” Li Yahong said directly.
Wu Heng thought for a moment before asking, “Are there many cameras in the warehouse?”
“Quite a few,” Li Yahong said.
“Bring some over, have the skeletons install one in each cell; it'll be convenient for observation.”
“Okay,” Li Yahong agreed, then added, “By the way, do you need any smart home devices? Motorized curtains, robotic vacuum cleaners, and such; I've accumulated a lot of those, all gathering dust in the warehouse.”
“Bring some over, I might as well experience smart living,” Wu Heng said.
Li Yahong nodded and continued, “Aren't you coming back with me? You could just leave the work here to the skeletons.”
“I'd rather not go back right now, it would waste too much time on the road.”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Yahong did not press further, stood up, and said, “Let's go; I'll help you tidy up your dormitory. It's all messy; you don't look like a Leader at all.”
Wu Heng wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they walked outside, “You're the best.”
“Slick talker, wonder who you learned that from.”
They went upstairs, and Li Yahong helped tidy up the room that had been unoccupied for a long time.
Not until the afternoon, when Wu Heng stood at the front door, waving goodbye as Li Yahong and her convoy gradually faded into the distance.
After they were out of sight.
Wu Heng returned to the prison and had the skeletons close the main gate tightly.
In the time that followed, Wu Heng redeployed the prison's defenses.
Every side of the walls was reinforced with machine guns and Machine Cannons, some facing outwards for defense against enemies, others facing inwards, in preparation for the future cultivation of Corpse Cores.
He stayed with the skeletons until dusk approached.
Only then did he allow the skeletons to continue with their work while he returned to the dormitory and through the dormitory, back to Gold and Silver Island.
Coming down from upstairs.
Mini and Robey were directing skeletons, gathering the bedding hung out to dry in the courtyard.
Seeing Wu Heng come down, they immediately said, “Master, wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon.”
“Hmm, has anything happened on the island these past days?” Wu Heng asked, sitting on the sofa.
Robey immediately rushed over with a cup of tea.
Mini said, “Nothing much on the island, but this morning Sister Shanela sent a message through the radio.”
Shanela?
Since the auction had ended, Wu Heng hadn't contacted Shanela for a while.
Her reaching out suddenly, had something happened in Netalee City?
It had also been a while since he saw Shanela, and he actually missed her a bit.
“I'll go upstairs to check,” Wu Heng said.
Mini continued, “Is there anything specific you'd like to eat, Master? I can have the chef add a few dishes.”
“Nothing in particular, whatever you arrange is fine.”
“Understood, Master.”
He went upstairs, directly entering the radio room.
He glanced at the log book in front of each radio station; besides a few full-throated complaints left by Philippa, only Shanela had left a message.
Wu Heng picked up the receiver and tried saying, “Shanela, can you hear me?”
Quickly, Shanela's voice came through, “I'm here, why weren't you around this morning?”
“I was out handling some things, just got back. How are things with you?” Wu Heng explained briefly, then asked directly.
