Chapter 992: Chapter 791: Some Adventures Chapter 992: Chapter 791: Some Adventures Wu Heng's smile vanished from his face, asking, “Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?”
“Uncle, if you're not asleep, I'd like to talk to Sister Lilith about the Skeleton named Shanshan.” Xiao Xiao flew in and whispered.
Ghosts needed to use radio communication, which also required utilizing his body.
Wu Heng sat up and said, “It's okay to talk, but don't discuss the Skeleton's level, or our levels.”
Xiao Xiao asked curiously, “Uncle, don't you trust Sister?”
“It's not that I don't trust her, it's our secret. The fewer people know, the better,” Wu Heng explained.
“Oh oh, I get it now,” Xiao Xiao nodded.
Wu Heng got up and put on his clothes, saying as he walked, “We can't chat too late, I'm getting a bit sleepy.”
“Okay,” Xiao Xiao followed to the side.
“After the chat, don't lie down on the ground, it's too unlucky.”
“Uncle, you are a Necromancer.”
“That's my profession, I'm not dead.”
Xiao Xiao then asked, “What if Sister Lilith asks how high-level?”
“Just say it's a converted level 18, anything else, if you're unsure, just say I don't allow you to tell.”
“Okay.”
Together, they arrived at the radio room.
Wu Heng picked up the microphone and asked, “Leader Lilith, can you hear me?”
Soon, Lilith's voice came from the other side, “Hmm, what's up?”
“Xiao Xiao wants to chat with you.”
“Pass it to her!” Lilith said.
Wu Heng winked at Xiao Xiao and then said, “You can only talk for a bit.”
“Got it!”
Wu Heng released “Divine Presence” to leave, while Xiao Xiao possessed Wu Heng's body, saying, “Sister Lilith, today Uncle used your jade to transform a large Skeleton, Uncle let me name it, it's called Shanshan.”
“A Skeleton named that, huh? It lacks a bit of a murderous aura.”
“Uncle said it sounds nice, he really likes it.”
“What level is the Skeleton?”
“Uh, level 18… Uncle said so.”
“That should be enough to protect his safety.”
Central Square.
Wu Heng was controlling a Skeleton Patrol Guard, following the Guard Team on a patrol through the streets.
At this time, most people had gone home to rest and sleep.
Only some tipsy patrons stumbled out of the taverns or haggled with women waiting outside before sneaking into dark alleys to exchange affections.
Wu Heng followed the patrol for nearly half an hour.
Then, he ceased the “Divine Presence”, returning to his own body.
This time, Xiao Xiao had him lying on top of a table.
Wu Heng got up and went back to his room to rest.
The next day.
After breakfast, Wu Heng once again headed to the Zombie World.
Taking the truck left at the prison, he arrived at the shopping mall in the Central District.
Inside the conference room.
Wu Heng sat on the first level, with Li Yahong sitting next to him.
Across from them sat Gao Rong, the head of the military factory, and several key staff and researchers.
Li Yahong discussed the matter in detail, then said, “Those who snatched the Skeleton logbook and lied have been taken to the Scavenging Team. They'll be grounded for a few days, if they perform well, we can consider reassigning them.”
Wu Heng nodded to show he understood.
Gao Rong, along with several others, bowed apologetically, “Leader, this oversight was my responsibility. I've already had a meeting with all the staff before leaving, and this won't happen again.”
Wu Heng looked at him and said, “The last time I came back, I found the staff to be lax, no one at their posts. This incident is your responsibility, Gao Rong. When you first took over the military factory, it wasn't like this.”
Gao Rong's heart tightened.
Indeed, he had already become dissatisfied with his side; that's why a Skeleton Investigator was sent.
“I will correct it immediately.”
Wu Heng continued, “Technicians from South Korea will also be coming over. There will be internal system adjustments, and I need you to cooperate. We'll draft a new policy.”
Gao Rong perspired from his forehead, “Yes, Leader, I definitely won't disappoint you this time.”
Wu Heng was still quite satisfied with Gao Rong's attitude.
Except for this recent issue, the military factory had performed very well before.
This included the production lines for machine guns, machine cannons, and various machinery.
It could be said that his contributions had indeed provided many conveniences for development.
He was a real hero of the base.
Wu Heng would assess the situation later and make further arrangements.
“Hmm, sit down,” Wu Heng said.
Gao Rong sat down again.
Wu Heng looked back at Li Yahong, “How's the pharmaceutical factory?”
“All the machines are up and running now, producing seventy thousand pills a day,” Li Yahong responded very precisely with numbers.
It seems that they are also paying attention to this matter.
Wu Heng nodded in satisfaction.
At this rate, it won't take many days to fulfill the first batch of goods for transportation.
“Is there any problem with the instruction manual?” Wu Heng asked.
Li Yahong said, “It's also being printed, and there is no issue with the quantity.”
Wu Heng nodded and continued, “Send orders to each Skull Team on the frontier, if they encounter Mutated Zombies, catch them alive if possible.”
“Mutated Zombies?”
“Yes, they can be taken directly to the prison, where Skeletons will be there to receive them.”
“I understand.” Li Yahong didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
After the meeting, Li Yahong, accompanied by Gao Rong, visited several factories.
Some damaged parts and machinery needed to be produced.
On Wu Heng's side, he took an SUV and went straight back to the prison.
In the afternoon, back on Gold and Silver Island.
Before Wu Heng could step down from the first floor, Mini said, “Master, Sister Wen Mansha has sent you a message.”
“I see.” Wu Heng turned around and headed upstairs.
Entering the radio room, he saw, on the Skeleton Investigator's notebook, a message from Wen Mansha asking if he was there.
Wu Heng picked up the microphone and said, “Wen Mansha, can you hear me?”
Soon, Wen Mansha's voice came through, “Master, I have some trouble here.”
Compared to before, Wen Mansha's tone carried a hint of unease and fatigue.
“What's wrong?” Wu Heng also became serious.
Wen Mansha recounted the recent events in Lundham City.
It was simple, during this period, one assassination attempt after another targeted Wen Mansha and the officials of Lundham City.
Although Wen Mansha, relying on the city's intelligence system and well-placed Skeletons, hadn't been endangered,
the enemy was in the shadows, and the assassination attempts were relentless.
She was starting to feel uneasy.
Especially since she had a child, she feared that the danger might befall her child.
“Was it the work of the Second Prince?” Wu Heng asked.
“It's still unclear. The Skeleton Mage is with the army at the fortress, and the bodies of those killed have not undergone Wenshi. That messenger of the Second Prince is still in the city, and he even came to visit me today, but I did not see him.”
Hesitating, Wen Mansha said softly, “Master, should I take the baby over to your place to be safer?”
It seemed she was truly worried.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “You stay indoors these next few days. I'll handle some things here and then I'll come to see you. We can discuss this matter then.”
Wen Mansha replied with resignation, “Making you travel back and forth again.”
Wu Heng said with a laugh, “It's fine. I, as the Island Master, don't have much important business. Nobody would notice if I'm away for a few days.”
“I'll wait for the Master to come over,” Wen Mansha said quietly.
“Be good, it's okay, everything will be fine once I get there.”
“Understood, Master.”
“How's the baby doing lately?” Wu Heng asked.
Wen Mansha's tone relaxed a lot, “Everything's fine, getting chubbier by the day.”
“That proves the food's nutritious, I've always said you're well-off.”
Wen Mansha laughed and did not argue.
They continued to chat for a while, and Wu Heng repeated his advice to her to be safe until he arrived.
Then he ended the communication and headed downstairs.
Wu Heng went downstairs, and dinner was already served on the table.
“Wei'er, have you selected the Chamber of Commerce?”
“They've already been selected, a total of ten, including Sister Shanaela's Starflower Chamber of Commerce, Steward Xi Ligui vouched for an Elf Race Chamber of Commerce, and the rest we have worked with before and are quite influential in various places,” Andre Willow replied directly.
Wu Heng nodded, “Gather these business representatives tomorrow, I'll have a meeting with them.”
“Yes, Master,” Andre Willow nodded.
They talked while eating dinner,
and also made some arrangements for the island's affairs.
After dinner,
the maids went to the training room together for practice, while Wu Heng went upstairs and into the study.
Wu Heng sat down in a chair.
He asked, “Where's Xiao Xiao?”
Glenda said with a smile, “Bella just got back, saying there was a fight in a tavern in the Central District, and then the two flew out to watch the excitement.”
What a couple, rushing back just to drag someone else to watch the commotion.
Wu Heng then said, “Wen Mansha sent a message; there's a non-stop string of assassination attempts in Lundham City, and she's having trouble coping.”
Glenda put down her book and said, “Actually, with the medicine pills plan, the Yeko Kingdom isn't that important anymore.”
Wu Heng nodded and said, “If there were no issues there, I was planning to reach Hero level after the medicine pills affair. But now, it seems I can't ignore the situation.”
“What are you thinking?” Glenda asked.
“Let's see where the Investigation Team has got to, then let's deal with the Second Prince first.”
“That sounds risky.”
