The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Under an umbrella, Wu Heng, Basen, and Bawudong were walking on a quiet path.

They arrived at the residence of ‘Wen Mansha’, where no one was seen at the front door.

Normally, there would be underlings guarding around the clock.

In this kind of weather, no one wants to stay outside as a doorman.

They were more than happy to go back and take shelter.

They pushed open the door, entered the courtyard and then the room.

As soon as the door was opened, a figure wearing a low-cut silk dress pounced right at them.

Wu Heng hugged her, his hand sinking into a soft and warm sensation.

“Master!” Wen Mansha softly exclaimed.

After what happened last time, she seemed to have become more uninhibited.

“Dressed so lightly, aren’t you afraid of catching a chill?” Wu Heng asked, hugging her and closing the door with his foot.

“I have been waiting for the master to warm me!” Wen Mansha crossed her arms around his neck, whined playfully, “Master, I missed you so much.”

With that, her shoulder strap slipped, and one side of her ‘peak’ was exposed to the air, perfectly round and standing firm.

The Wen Mansha at this moment was completely different from the gangster’s wife during the day.

In front of the underlings, she was aloof and proud, but now she was tender and almost on the verge of melting.

Wu Heng gently patted her waist, and asked, “Any news from Rocky?”

“During the day, someone came to check, I guess he will be back in a few days.” Wen Mansha responded.

“Well, when he returns, notify me immediately, and I will assign you as the leader of the ‘Pinned Gang.\'” Wu Heng directly made a promise.

He needed someone to gather intelligence.

Wen Mansha, who signed the slave contract, was the most suitable candidate.

“It would be great if Master could arrange it, even if you want me to stay by your side as a maid, I’m willing,” Wen Mansha continued.

I don’t know if it’s due to the slave contract, or if Wen Mansha is just generally clingy.

“Your ability is more suited to being a gang’s wife.”

“Thank you, Master.” Wen Mansha pulled him and sat down at the table, “Master has been busy all day, haven’t you eaten? I’ve had dinner prepared.”

Wu Heng sat at the table eating dinner, while Wen Mansha served him carefully.

He took a quick bite.

The two sat at the table and chatted about what had happened in the last two days.

Wu Heng learned more about the Outer City Area.

…

The next day, early morning.

Wen Mansha was getting dressed.

Having a personal maid to take care of daily life was indeed a good thing.

Wu Heng pulled out several sets of ladies’ underwear and clothing from his Space Ring, all brought back from the commercial street, and handed them to her, “I got these for you, I don’t know if they’re suitable.”

Her eyes widened at the sight of the brightly colored clothes.

Her eyes were filled with joy, as she pounced on him and said, “Thank you, Master.”

“Hmm!”

After a while.

Wen Mansha took the underlings to eat at a restaurant, and Wu Heng, after getting dressed, headed straight for the Inner City Area.

The rain had fallen all last night.

Walking on the streets, the rushing water flowed into the drains on both sides of the road.

The entire city had a complex drainage system.

Even with last night’s heavy rain, the city was nowhere close to being flooded.

Wu Heng, accompanied by two skeletons, headed straight to the Association.

Arriving at the front desk, he collected the bounty from last night’s autopsy.

Returning to the break room.

Duke and Mata were already sitting in the break room chatting.

Seeing Wu Heng come in, they both broke into smiles, “Team Leader!”

“The bounty has come, the Association gave 720 coins, and the residents chipped in 120 coins, these two are for you.” Wu Heng handed over the corresponding bounties to the two.

Mata glanced at Duke.

The latter stood up, “Thank you, Team Leader.”

Seeing Duke take his, Mata also picked up the money bag, “Thank you, Team Leader.”

“Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back and continue focusing on investigating the intel.” Wu Heng continued.

“Alright, Team Leader, eradicate evildoers for the people, I got it!”

“Okay, everyone go ahead.”

“Okay!”

The two got up to leave, and Wu Heng also left the Association.

He went straight into the ‘Snake Badge Consortium’ opposite the Association.

…

“Good morning, Mr. Wu Heng.”

In the VIP room of the Snake Badge Consortium, the local person in charge, ‘Laisia’ walked in swaying her waist.

“Good morning.”

Laisia sat down opposite him, a hint of her fair leg visible from under the hem of her skirt. She smiled and asked, “Did Mr. Wu Heng come this time to inquire about the construction of the ‘Burial Ground’?”

“Yes, I wanted to see if everything is ready. And also other things.” Wu Heng, leaning on the sofa, replied.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Wu Heng, the construction is not ready yet.” Laisia apologized softly.

“It’s taking a bit long, isn’t it!”

“Yes, the construction of Array Patterns requires an Array Pattern Master to draw, plus transportation, it’s quite time consuming.” Laisia sighed, “Actually, we’re also quite anxious.”

“Try to speed it up.”

Lately, he had plenty of gold in hand. This gave him some confidence to do things.

“Okay, sir!”

“Here is a withdrawal note. Take out everything that’s inside.” Wu Heng took out the credential he had acquired from killing the ‘Blood Worship Sect’ the day before.

This type of credential is recognized by the ticket itself and not the person, anyone holding it could make a withdrawal.

“Okay, sir, please wait a moment.”

The woman handed the note to the staff outside the door, and then chatted with Wu Heng for a while.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

A staff member carried in a wooden box.

They placed it on the table and exited the room.

Wu Heng directly opened it. Inside was neatly stacked silver coins, and a book.

‘Book of Runes’.

It’s not a Skill Book, but a book that explains magic runes.

Without paying much attention, Wu Heng immediately closed the wooden box.

Laisia still maintained her smile, silently accompanying him at the side.

“I want to buy some corpses.” Wu Heng continued.

“Oh? Sir, what type of corpses do you need?” Laisia asked further.

“Alchemists’, above level 10, no race or gender preference, as long as they are alchemists.” Wu Heng stated his requirements.

Laisia nodded, taking out the consignment note, and filled it out for him personally, “Sir, how many corpses of this kind do you need?”

Clearly, this is not their first purchase, otherwise they wouldn’t be speaking so comprehensively.

This also avoids wasting time.

“Five.”

Laisia looked up, the price for five would not be small.

With still a faint smile, she said, “Very well sir, you need to pay a deposit of a thousand silver coins here. When the corpse arrives, we will calculate the balance according to the condition of the corpse and the expenses incurred during transportation.”

Last time when I purchased the corpse, the deposit was 300 silver coins.

This time, it is directly a thousand, maybe because the quantity was more, it has increased a bit.

“That’s fine, about how long would it take to deliver?”

“We will deliver it incrementally, probably in about three days.”

My, that’s fast.

Hopefully, it’s not freshly killed.

Wu Heng didn’t say much, directly taking out a thousand silver coins from the wooden box he just acquired and handed it to her.

“Sir, let me use your badge,” Laisia reached out her hand.

Wu Heng handed over his badge and the other party took it, pressed the seal pad, leaving a mark on the consignment.

“Alright, sir, it is completely done.”

Laisia happily spoke, thanking her luck for meeting such a wealthy young man.

He had visited several times, each time spending no small sum.

Even in Lundham City, such expenditure is rare.

His performance would likely be better than in previous years.

If he can maintain a good cooperation with him in the future, his ranking in the region could be high this year.

“By the way, do you still have the shop-keeping thing you mentioned last time?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

Laisia’s eyes sparkled again.

Whatever she wants, it comes.

“Of course, would you like to see it?” Laisia immediately called someone to bring the map.

“Hmm.”

The map from the last time was unfolded and spread out on the table again.

Laisia pointed out a few places one by one.

This map marks the entire city, the important streets, and the key areas.

Even the drainage situation is, also marked.

Wu Heng stared at the map, taking a serious look.

He asks, “Which shop, with decent location, and a backyard is required.”

At a glance, Laisia pointed to a shop in the northern outskirts of the city on the map, “This place will fully meet your requirements; the front is the shop, the back has a small yard and a warehouse.”/

Wu Heng looked at the location, it was slightly off the main road, but not too far off.

It was fairly decent.

“Take me to see it!”

“Of course.” Laisia instructed her staff to prepare the horse carriage.

Soon, once the carriage was ready.

They directly went to the location of the shop in the horse carriage.

…

They arrived at the shop fairly quickly.

They walked in through the door.

The shop area is a two-story building, each floor having around 40 square meters, not too large.

It doesn’t seem to have been vacant for too long, footprints from the last visitor still visible on the floor.

“It was previously a jewelry shop, but the business wasn’t doing well, so it closed down.” Laisia took a few steps inside the room, drawings her fingers across the dust on the window sill.

“Hmm, let’s go to the backyard to take a look!”

At the back of the shop, there was a small courtyard and a warehouse.

Wu Heng took a glance, then carefully inspected the warehouse. He found it to be satisfactory.

“Let’s go back.”

They locked the door, got back on the carriage, and slowly returned.

Laisia propped her chin in her hand, looking at him and asked, “Sir, are you satisfied with the location?”

“Yes, it’s satisfactory. If you can ensure the security, and avoid issues with local gangs, I’ll take it.”

“Rest assured on this point, sir. The Snake Badge Consortium conducts legitimate businesses but also has self-defense strength that ensures the safety of your shop.” Laisia confidently declared.

Wu Heng nodded in satisfaction, “Alright, I’ll take it.”

“Alright, I will write a commission for you.”

After the new commission was completed, Laisia continued, “The rent for this shop is 2000 silver coins.”

“Fine.” Wu Heng paid the money and took the keys handed over by the other party at the same time.

He thought for a bit, and continued to say, “I’ll be opening the shop in a few days, arrange for someone from your side to help tidy it up.”

“Of course.” Laisia immediately agreed and asked, “What kind of business do you plan to run?”

“Grocery category, some daily necessities.”

Hmmm…

Laisia glanced at him, didn’t seem like a joke.

With such high rent poured into daily necessities.

Quite a bold attempt really.

But, it’s none of her business as he has his own plans.

“What’s it named? I’ll arrange a sign for you to place in the shop,” Laisia continued.

Maintaining a good relationship with such a person would also benefit her.

“Just call it the ALC grocery store!”

“Okay!”

…

On returning to the inner city, he got off the carriage and went straight back to the house.

He opened the boundary door, heading into the Zombie World.

He left the residential area, and went to the intersection.

From afar, he could see a caravan parked at the side of the road.

Wu Heng used the walkie-talkie to call Li Yahong.

Soon, she ran over from a distance.

“How are things at the prison?”

“No issues, it’s exactly the same as when we left, everything has been delivered.” Li Yahong answered.

It seems like things are stable at the prison side. Li Yahong had been bringing people back in turns, there should be no accidents occurring anytime soon.

“By the way, there’s a new shelter that has appeared recently in the frequency band, they’re recruiting survivors.” Li Yahong suddenly remembered something and said.

An area communicates on the same frequency band.

The frequency band Li Yahong mentioned should be the same as their current region.

“It’s called the Flame God Shelter. The leader has awakened a superpower that allows him to control fire.”

Wu Heng frowned as he looked at her and asked, “Can they really awaken the power to control elements?”
