Chapter 179: Chapter 159, Give us our things back _3
Just like using the Space Ring, he cast his spiritual power into it for a look.
He indeed saw a few massive columns and some building components.
Laisia continued, “In addition to the previous deposit, you’ll need to pay an additional 5,500 silver coins to complete this transaction.”
Oh my… that’s expensive.
Even though he was mentally prepared, it still felt quite costly.
But there was no other choice, he couldn’t haggle over the fee for this commission.
He took out 5 gold coins and 500 silver coins from the Space Ring and handed them over.
Those 5 gold coins were the ones Glenda hid underground. He had just acquired them, and now he was giving them away.
“Very well, sir, the commission is completed,” Laisia leaned closer and reminded softly, “Mr. Wu Heng, this storage sachet is the Consortium’s property. Please make sure to return it after you’re done. I am under great pressure myself.”
“Rest assured, I will return it to you tomorrow.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Once their talk finished, Wu Heng left the Consortium immediately.
…
He returned home.
Through the boundary door, he went back to the Zombie World.
On the vacant ground outside the neighborhood.
Whoosh~!
The whistling of breaking through the air echoed above.
Dense spears like a gigantic black net fell from the sky onto the asphalt road, causing a continual clanging sound.
After several days of training.
Although the skeletons hadn’t unlocked the spear-throwing skill,
their overall spear-throwing performance had greatly improved compared to a few days ago.
“The new spears seem to be better,” Li Yahong spoke softly.
Wu Heng bought standard throwing spears from the blacksmith’s shop.
Li Yahong brought them back and started to improve the spears they had made themselves.
In fact, it wasn’t much of a complex task. They just looked at the standard spears, measured how long and broad they were, and copied the design accordingly.
After making a few of them, they picked up the pace.
Then they started producing them in large quantities.
“Hmm, it’s a lot better than before,” Wu Heng nodded in approval.
“Continue making them?”
“Continue making them, at least each skeleton should be equipped with three,” Wu Heng made his request.
Li Yahong sounded a little surprised, “All of them?”
There were about seventeen thousand skeletons now.
Assigning them all in a single community was not possible anymore.
So they were divided and placed between two communities.
If each one needed to be equipped with three throwing spears, as well as the production of long spears, it surely wouldn’t be a minor task.
“Slowly, there’s no rush,” said Wu Heng, looking at her.
“Okay, I’ll try to get them to speed up.”
“Is there any news lately?”
“Some refuge bases have been set up around the world, taking in survivors. They’ll even organize rescue missions for people with special expertise, like doctors, electricians, and carpenters…” Li Yahong explained.
“Learning never gets wasted.”
“Yes, indeed.”
“Should we also start actively recruiting people?” Li Yahong asked further.
Having thought about it, Wu Heng said, “We can announce to the public that if anyone wants to cast their lot with us, we can take them in.”
“Okay.”
“Prepare a bit tomorrow, I’ll make a trip back to the prison,” Wu Heng suddenly recalled.
They were going to evacuate here soon.
He would still need to set up the newly acquired building in the prison area.
“Oh okay! I’ll arrange it. Tomorrow the convoy will directly deliver a batch of supplies there.”
“Okay.”
…
He left the Zombie World.
And sat down in the lobby on the first floor for a while.
Knock, knock, knock~!
A gentle knock on the door echoed from outside.
When he opened the door, he did not see his two maids but rather the fat man he had encountered the previous night, who was accompanied by four silver-armoured guards.
Standing at the doorway, his face lit up with a smile.
Wu Heng frowned, “What brings you here today? Come for a chat?”
“Ha-ha, Captain Wu Heng, relax. I just want to discuss some business with you,” The man glanced into the room and continued, “It isn’t convenient to talk here. May I come in and sit?”
Wu Heng glanced at the guards outside the door and made way, “Come in, leave your guards outside. My house isn’t big.”
The man laughed, nodding at the guards outside.
He then confidently walked into the room.
After surveying the room, he promptly sat down on the living room couch.
“What’s the matter? Just say it.” Wu Heng asked directly.
“Well, I’ll get straight to the point then. I would like to buy back the ‘Sacrificial Wand’ and ‘Blood Cup’ you have.” The man maintained his smile.
Wu Heng looked surprised.
The other party knew he had got these two things.
Immediately, he guessed something about the man’s identity.
