Chapter 979: Chapter 782, Working in the Office on Gold and Silver Island Chapter 979: Chapter 782, Working in the Office on Gold and Silver Island Zombie World.
Exiting the boundary door, Wu Heng monitored every prison cell.
The first batch of experimental animals had all completed their zombie transformation; in the video, hyenas and iron-mouthed crocodiles started to decompose in a grotesque enlargement of their bodies.
But they still hadn't reached the exaggerated extent of a Teddy turning into a lion.
Of course, it was only the second day since the virus had been injected. According to the experimental report from headquarters, to completely finish the distortion and develop a Corpse Core took at least 30 days, and for some, even three to four months or longer.
Wu Heng wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time to conduct his research.
He continued to pick up the experiment log next to him for review.
It recorded the time of the virus injection and the plan for the test subjects.
After scanning it, Wu Heng turned his gaze to the Zombie King's cell.
The Zombie King's cell stayed quiet. Inside, a skeleton wielding an axe stood guard, forming a circle around the Zombie King who, bound by iron chains, quietly stood in place.
“Uncle, Aunt Li is here,” Xiao Xiao flew back inside.
Wu Heng adjusted the camera to see a truck stopping at the parking spot.
Li Yahong jumped out of the truck and picked up her phone to dial a number.
Soon, Wu Heng's phone rang, and after connecting, Li Yahong's voice came through, “I've arrived.”
“I'll come down now.”
He hung up and walked outside. Three Glendas and Bella directly entered his body while Xiao Xiao followed by his side.
Stepping out of the building, Wu Heng sat in the truck's passenger seat and left the prison, heading towards the pharmaceutical factory.
That afternoon, Li Yahong, with him in tow, reached the pharmaceutical factory.
Through the glass partition, they could see the operational workshop, with skeletons in white coats, their bones cleanly reflecting light, moving back and forth between machines, occasionally glancing at the control panels.
Li Yahong said, “Currently, there are two production lines that can run 24 hours a day. The issue we're facing now is a shortage of raw materials. We can produce for one more week at most before we have to halt due to insufficient materials.”
The machines had replaced the Alchemists, significantly improving efficiency and reducing costs.
This required a reliable supply of raw materials.
Originally, Wu Heng wanted to move the factory to Gold and Silver Island to avoid the hassle of transporting materials.
However, the various production workshops at the factory had stringent requirements that made it difficult to relocate to the Otherworld.
Thus, production had to continue here for now.
“I will figure out a solution for the raw materials and will also bring some medicinal seeds here for cultivation by the skeletons,” Wu Heng said, observing the workshop.
“It would be best if we have seeds. We have plenty of land now; planting it ourselves would surely suffice,” replied Li Yahong confidently.
“Hmm, I'll replenish the materials in the next few days,” Wu Heng continued, then asked, “How much have we produced now?”
“In the warehouse, we have over ten thousand bottles, each containing ten pills,” answered Li Yahong.
Having ten pills per bottle was Wu Heng's requirement.
It made sales more convenient.
Over ten thousand bottles could indeed meet the selling needs of Gold and Silver Island.
“Let's head to the warehouse then.”
Li Yahong led the way, and the two of them continued towards the warehouse.
As they opened the warehouse door, neatly packed boxes of medicines came into sight. Wu Heng waved his hand, and all were sucked into the Space Ring.
“Let's head back,” Wu Heng said.
Both of them sat in the truck again.
After dropping Wu Heng back at the prison, Li Yahong also returned to her center square.
The next day, at the harbor.
The sea wind howled across the deck, filling the air with a salty tang.
The sails flapped noisily, and workers hurriedly moved goods, making last preparations for departure.
Lilith stood on the deck, her hair tied up with a few strands fluttering in the wind.
A neatly dressed elderly man was already standing beside her, one hand behind his back, the other holding a sunshade umbrella for Lilith.
Tat tat tat~
The sound of footsteps on the deck grew nearer. Wu Heng, wearing a hood, approached, “Leader Lilith, are you leaving already? Why not stay a while longer?”
The elderly man glanced sideways and said, “Island Lord Wu Heng, I'll leave this place under your care; I'm going to check the cabin.”
“Alright.” Wu Heng took over the sunshade umbrella, and continued standing by Lilith's side, saying, “Leader, are you still upset about last time? I apologize, please consider staying a while longer.”
Lilith replied in a flat tone, “It's time to go back.”
Such a cold response.
Just like saying nothing at all.
Wu Heng continued, “Is it because of the Holy Court's work? You could also relocate your workplace to Gold and Silver Island.”
He really didn't want Lilith to leave.
Ever since her arrival on the island, the island had become safer, and the issues with The Holy Court had been resolved.
Even now, the Church remained closed with no plans to open its doors for preaching.
“I was worried that Lilith coming to the island might cause some trouble, but now I find myself wishing she could stay a bit longer.”
“I'd feel more at ease doing things myself.”
Lilith casually said, “Maybe next time.”
Wu Heng did not continue to persuade her, simply standing beside her, holding an umbrella.
The sound of the wind continuously blew past the two of them.
It was silent for a while.
Wu Heng took out a fixed-frequency radio and a portable solar panel from the Space Ring, saying, “Leader, these are remote communication devices; if something arises, I can report to you through this equipment.”
Lilith looked over with a puzzled expression, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Before Wu Heng, such functional devices had never appeared on Gold and Silver Island.
Now, one after another, they were emerging, each with very practical uses.
Looking at the green metal box that could communicate over long distances, she didn't doubt it at all.
“How does it work?” Lilith asked.
Wu Heng placed the two items on a nearby wooden barrel and began to explain, “It's divided into two parts. This side has the speaker, from which my voice will come out when I report to you. If you have any tasks, just pick up this microphone to speak, and I will be able to hear it on my side.”
“At the Island Lord's Mansion, I will arrange for a skeleton to guard the devices. If you didn't receive the message at the moment, I'll make sure to reply back later.”
“This is called a Solar Panel. Place it in the sunlight and connect it to the communication device, and it will work. If there are other devices from Gold and Silver Island, it can also be used to replenish their energy.”
Lilith listened intently to his explanation.
When she heard that the Solar Panel could power the devices on Gold and Silver Island, she thought of the tablet that Xiao Xiao had given her.
Xiao Xiao had told her that it might run out of battery after taking it back and that it would need to be charged on Gold and Silver Island.
Now, this Solar Panel was the device meant to provide that energy.
“Okay, I'll take it,” Lilith said, taking it and directly storing it in the Space Ring.
Wu Heng continued, fetching another Space Ring, saying, “This is a gift for you, I hope you'll like it.”
Lilith's gaze again fell on the Space Ring, and after a moment's thought, she extended her fair little hand and took it, “I'll take it.”
Wu Heng saw her store the ring but noticed that she had no intention of reciprocating the gift.
At that moment, a crew member's urging voice came from behind.
The ship was about to depart.
“I'm disembarking now. I wish you a smooth journey, Leader. Be sure to visit Gold and Silver Island frequently; I will arrange for someone to guard your residence.”
Lilith flicked her slender white fingers, “Go back.”
Wu Heng nodded and led his skeleton down from the ship.
Standing on the dock.
Watching the ship slowly disappear, he too turned and left.
…
Lilith walked down from the deck.
An elder opened a cabin, “Miss, it is all tidied up, do you want to rest now?”
“No rush, you go out first,” Lilith said.
“Yes, Miss,” the elder bowed and directly exited the cabin.
Lilith sat down at the desk, first taking out the Solar Panel and the radio to examine, then the tablet Xiao Xiao had given her last night to study.
She found the charging port, connected it, and sure enough, a signal indicating the battery was charging appeared.
It really worked.
Then, Lilith raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that Wu Heng must have known that Xiao Xiao was in contact with her and had purposely brought this device today.
Also incidentally, he had handed over the communication device to her.
It seemed only a guy like him would dare to scheme against a leader every day.
Thinking about this, she continued taking out the other Space Ring.
She communicated with the ring, and one by one, items were taken out.
Three different style helmets, each looking very cool.
Lilith frowned again. The helmets were not metallic, but they were both light and sturdy, with a translucent visor on the front.
She had seen this type on the heads of Wu Heng's skeleton attendants.
Lilith examined it, and then put it on her head.
Through the visor, she could see clearly. She picked up the manual next to her, looked at it, and not recognizing the text but following the diagrams, reached for a button on the side and pressed it lightly.
Click~!
A crisp sound, and the transparent visor instantly flipped up.
Pressing again, click~! The lower jaw part also opened, and on the third press, it all lowered down, returning to its original form.
Lilith's eyes widened, this…
a helmet that could transform.
Lilith continued examining the other two helmets, both of which were pretty but did not feature the first one's transformations.
“Putting all effort into these things, no wonder he can't raise his level. Ripe for mistreatment by the Holy Court.”
