Chapter 172: Chapter 157, The Lady in the Basement (6000, one more.)_3
The fourth letter is from the previous member, ‘Cavina’. She first apologizes for not being able to reply in time, then she also talks about some matters regarding her local association.
The circumstances are similar to Wu Heng’s.
Cavina didn’t reach level 8, instead she became a captain due to her level 3 merits and the deacon’s direct recommendation.
Therefore, after she arrived, she attracted quite a few cold stares.
She and Wu Heng are different. Wu Heng, when all’s said and done, still has some decent trump cards left—being able to complete both bounties and tasks.
As for Cavina, she’s performed rather ordinarily.
Being unceremoniously promoted to this position, she feels somewhat awkward.
Her words were filled with gloom as if she was in a very bad mental state.
She began to reply to several letters.
As for Cavina’s situation, she didn’t have any solutions either, she could only try to comfort her.
She couldn’t very well send her a handgun now, could she?
Such things were her trump cards, unless this world also possesses them, only then can she consider letting them out.
After she finished replying to the letters.
She directly submitted them to the front desk.
She also took out her tablet and snapped a saving of the newly posted wanted posters.
Finding there wasn’t much else to do.
She quickly left the association and took a stroll around the town.
…
In the afternoon.
Wu Heng returned to his residence.
Mini had gone to the shop to help in the morning, so there wasn’t anyone else at home.
After tidying up the office a bit, he directly headed to the Zombie World.
In the middle of the apartment building, three corpse mountains piled up to the height of two people were stacked.
Wu Heng first stepped out of the housing complex to take a look.
The lifestyle items that Li Yahong and the others had gathered were inside cardboard boxes outside the housing complex, occupying a large area.
“Come over here and move these things inside the housing complex.” Wu Heng called over a few skeletons.
The skeletons formed a line.
And began moving things inside.
Wu Heng stood at the door, directing for a while.
Re-entering the housing complex.
Over the mountains of corpses, he casts[Dead Bones Battlefield].
A circle of grey-white light spreads out.
Masses of corpses lost their flesh, and one by one, skeletons rose to their feet.
Joining the ranks of the whole group of skeletons.
Wu Heng sat inside the housing complex, while reading the rune book in his hand, he’s waiting for his spiritual power to recover. After that, he can continue to use his skills to convert more skeletons.
As dusk was about to fall.
At the entrance to the housing complex, Wu Heng and Li Yahong stood together.
“How are the people who joined yesterday?” Wu Heng asked.
“No problems so far. They are all very obedient, have been assigned different tasks. The women and children are scavenging for daily necessities, while the men are making iron spears and javelins in shifts.” Li Yahong replied.
Wu Heng took out the javelin he bought from the weapons store from his Space Ring and handed it to him.
Saying, “This is a normal javelin, use it as a reference.”
The javelin is not quite the same as the short spear Li Yahong constructed.
Both ends are sharpened.
The tip of the spear is somewhat heavier, which helps when falling and piercing the ground.
Instead of a thrown iron rod, which strikes the opponent.
Therefore, the javelin made of rebar needs to be improved slightly.
“Alright.” Li Yahong nodded.
The two of them sat together and chatted for a while.
He told her to gather a group of people she trusts. There cannot be problems with management.
After talking for a while, they parted ways and returned to their respective places.
Through the boundary door, he returned to his own residence.
Today, Wen Mansha did not come. Andre Willow reported about the situation at the store.
The three of them chatted downstairs for a while.
Then each returned to their rooms to rest.
…
The next day.
In the Association’s rest area.
Wu Heng sat in the main seat, and behind him stood three figures.
Basen, Bawudong, and Lieyi who is tall, wearing a round helmet, and carrying a sniper rifle.
The skeletal dog wasn’t brought along, pretending to be something else would be difficult.
Duke and Mata walked in in succession.
“Captain, are you looking for us?” Duke asked in a coarse voice.
“Yes, go register for a cart, we have a task. Let’s go out.” Wu Heng directly replied.
“Oh great, finally a task.” Duke immediately left to prepare the cart.
Once everything was ready.
They quickly set off for the information location provided by ‘Winnie’.
Near noon.
The group of three with three additional skeletons reached the trading location.
Wu Heng gave Lieyi a hand signal, and he promptly ran towards the distance, mounted a hill behind them, and pointed his gun muzzle at the area ahead.
Up ahead is a dilapidated stone house.
Thorny vines covered the building, but the structure itself was intact.
Looking from afar.
You could see two groups of differently attired people.
One group’s members’ clothes were different, their helmets and armors seemed to be hastily patched together. They looked like mountain bandits who hadn’t received ‘supplies’ for a long time.
The other group’s main attire was leather armor, a few were in metal plate armor, they should be the gang members who were here for the trade.
There were over ten people guarding the outside.
There should be even more people inside the building.
Both sides’ members arrived quite quickly, huh.
“Captain, there are people guarding the front and back, a total of 12 people, there are also some on the hillside.” Mata said softly.
Rangers and Tamed Beasts can share their vision.
Although the black-feathered eagle didn’t fly up, standing at some high places, it can also get a better view of the surroundings.
“Wait a bit!” Wu Heng said.
He is also waiting for Xiao Xiao’s news.
After giving orders, there were no responses for a long time.
As the seconds ticked by, Wu Heng’s face began to turn ugly. Xiao Xiao still hadn’t returned.
Could there be some problem?
Who could control a ghost?
“Captain! They might be leaving.” Duke said softly.
At the second-floor window, one could see some people starting to pack up.
