The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 291: Chapter 242, Leaving Tomorrow_1

After sighing softly, Wen Mansha explained, “This child’s sister, a servant in the City Lord’s Mansion, was sent back today, said to have fallen to her death. They gave two silver coins as funeral expenses.”

Even if Wu Heng didn’t perform an autopsy, he could tell it was definitely not death from a fall.

Besides, with two silver coins, you wouldn’t be able to buy a slave, let alone an iron sword.

Two silver coins, it seems like a casual dismissal.

Wen Mansha glanced at the child standing to one side, and continued, “This kid dragged the corpse, kneeling before half of the gangs in the city, and eventually heard someone say that I’m not scared of the city lord, and thus came here.”

In Lundham City, deaths were nothing unusual.

People who got killed in gang fights didn’t even have funeral expenses.

Wen Mansha let the child in because she knew that the corpse came from the City Lord’s Mansion, and she might get some useful information from it.

Thump, thump, thump~!

The little girl bowed down again, tearfully pleaded, “Master Captain and madam, please avenge my sister. I’ll definitely repay you.”

She wept while bowing down.

It looked like she and her sister had a deep bond.”

“Help her up,” Wu Heng said.

Two core members of the gang helped her to her feet.

“How would you like us to help you take your revenge?” Wu Heng looked at her.

“I don’t know, as long as I can take my vengeance,” the little girl bit her lip firmly, her tone resolute.

How to take revenge.

They didn’t even know who killed her sister.

But she wasn’t willing to give up, believing that as long as she could avenge her sister, that would be enough.

Wu Heng thought it over and said, “We need to discuss this. Can we give you an answer later?”

“Okay!”

Wu Heng turned to his gang members, “Take her to the tavern across the street for something to eat, and bring her back later.”

The little girl shrugged off their hands, “Can I wait here?”

Wen Mansha approached her and ruffled her hair, “We need to discuss things internally, and we can’t let outsiders stay. You go eat something first, and come back later, and we will tell you the result.”

“Well, okay then.”

The girl glanced back at her sister’s corpse and was led out of the courtyard.

…

After the girl left,

their gazes returned to the corpse.

Wu Heng walked up to the corpse and cast Communicate with the Dead.

The body, cold and stiff, suddenly sat up, eyes open, gazing towards them with dulled, lifeless eyes.

Wu Heng asked directly, “How did you die?”

The corpse replied, “A lord by the name of ‘Aiftu’ came to the City Lord’s Mansion, he killed me.”

This lord came to the City Lord’s Mansion?

Wu Heng thought for a while and then asked, “Are there any messages concerning Wu Heng?”

The corpse paused, then spoke, “City Lord Ereno planned to retake half the city he had surrendered after ‘Wu Heng’ left, along with ‘Aftu’.”

Wu Heng and Wen Mansha’s pupils shrank.

The news of his departure was announced in the guild, and it would have reached the City Lord’s Mansion and some other powers.

This ‘Aftu’ was someone the City Lord had recruited for assistance.

They planned to retake the city immediately after he left.

Without coming into direct conflict with him, the guild wouldn’t interfere, and the disarray in the city was not within the guild’s scope of intervention.

“Do they have any detailed plans?”

The corpse replied, “They will seize the city immediately after Wu Heng departs.”

Huh?

This corpse didn’t know about the detailed plan that followed.

There were still two questions remaining.

Wu Heng thought for a bit then asked, “What is the level of Lord Aiftu?”

“It’s not clear. The City Lord treats him with much respect.”

Wu Heng then asked, “Did Aiftu bring any troops?”

“Yes, he has entered the city.”

Upon completion of the fifth question, the corpse fell backwards.

The whole incident was now clear.

Upon hearing that Wu Heng was being transferred, the City Lord’s Mansion planned to join forces with another person to take back the half of the city that they had previously ceded.

As for the girl’s death,

She may have heard some of these informations, or it could be a ‘hobby’ of ‘Aitu’.

Either way, she died young in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“What do we do then?” Wen Mansha asked.

Managing the city was already stressful, and now she learned about their plan. The pressure had gotten even greater.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and replied, “That’s convenient. I was just worried for an excuse to get rid of him.”

…

Squeak~!

The gate was pushed open, and the gang members returned with the little girl.

“She only took a few bites and insisted on returning,” said one of the gang members.

Wen Mansha nodded, indicating they could enter.

The little girl came in, checked over her sister’s body, and began crying again.

“What’s your name?” Wu Heng asked.

“Te’en, it’s a name my sister gave me.” The girl added hopefully, “Master, I will certainly repay you in future, please.”

Wu Heng ruffles her messy hair and said, “You don’t need to repay me. But you have to promise me a condition.”

The little girl’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, “Speak.”

“Don’t tell anyone on the outside about today’s events. If anyone asks, you’re not allowed to say anything. And don’t go seek out other gangs to help you take revenge. Can you promise me?”

“Would you avenge my sister?”

“If you can keep a secret, I will help your sister take revenge.”

“Yes, I can. I won’t tell anyone,” the girl replied seriously.

“I trust you. Go and give your sister a good funeral. Leave the rest to us.”

“Okay!” The girl kneeled down and bowed in gratitude to all those present.

She wiped away her tears and, carrying her sister’s corpse, left one step at a time, looking back after each.

Watching the girl leaving, Wu Heng gestured towards the gate, “Arrange for two people to keep an eye on her. Don’t let other gangs give her trouble.”

Wen Mansha nodded and gave a few instructions to the members behind her.

Someone immediately followed up.

“What’s going to happen?” Wen Mansha asked.

Wu Heng shook his head, “Spread the message out, I will leave Lundham City tomorrow.”

Wen Mansha was stunned for a moment, but soon made sense of it,

“Okay!”

…

Leaving the Pinned Gang headquarters.

Wu Heng went to the association to apply for a departure ticket and let the news out as well.

The little girl who delivered the body to the Pinned Gang had suspected that ‘Ereno’ might have done this on purpose.

After all, I am a Necromancer, a body with inside information was sent out.

It aroused great suspicions.

But after reviewing the whole situation, no matter if this information is true or false, I took the initiative to jump in.

Let’s see what the other party will do.

After applying for the ticket, Wu Heng went to the rest room to take a look.

The atmosphere of the 12th team is really bad.

Not a single person showed up.

Reluctantly, he closed the door, left the association.

He headed straight to the ‘Snake Badge Consortium’ opposite.

…

In the lounge.

Looking at Laisia in a blue gown and exquisite makeup, he asked, “Are you going out?”

“Just a boring party.” Laisia sat down next to him, her dress slit revealing her fair and smooth legs. “Why are you here today?”

“I came to see you before I leave.”

“Leaving? Isn’t there still some time?” Laisia propped her chin and looked at him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“There are some things, and the journey ahead is far, so I’ll set off a few days earlier.”, said Wu Heng.

Laisia also knew the importance of the association’s identity, but still said: “Half of Lundham City is worth probably just as much as a vice-executive, you can consider staying.”

“Without this identity, I won’t get half of the city.”

“So, once the date was set, you came to bid farewell to me?” Laisia picked up the fruit tea and took a sip.

Wu Heng slouched lazily on the couch, his arms spread out, resting on the back of the chair, “Before I leave, I wanted to ask one of my few good friends, how much more gold performance does she need, maybe I can help her.”

Pfft~!

Laisia sprayed the fruit tea she had just taken a sip of.

“Wu Heng~!”

She wiped her mouth and called out in annoyance due to her inelegant behavior.

“What, It’s not my fault the water is hot.”

Laisia quickly gathered herself and looked at him suspiciously,”I still lack 200 grams this year, can you help me?”

“You just startled me.”

Laisia paused for a moment, then broke out into a smile.

She walked to the couch, sat close to him, leaning on him, and said, “That’s because you suddenly mentioned gold.”

Wu Heng didn’t continue to tease her, he took out a cloth bag from his Space Ring, open mouth of the bag.

A golden glow was revealed.

Laisia’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Performance this year has grown rapidly since Wu Heng came.

She had originally thought that after a few exchanges, his reserves would be exhausted.

Yet it’s this much.

Wu Heng took a gold chain with a red pendant from the bag.

He lifted up her fair foot and draped it over his leg.

“What are you doing?” Laisia was startled and about to pull her leg back.

Wu Heng held onto it and fastened the thin chain around her fair ankle, “It makes you more beautiful.”

Laisia didn’t expect him to do this, her face turned red. She shyly retracted her leg, “Is this a gift for me?”

“Hmm, pick a few more if you like.”

“No, I’ll just take this one.” She said and sat back down again.

Thump thump thump~!

The door knocked, and a man’s voice came from outside, “Miss, it’s time to go.”

Laisia’s face became serious, she said directly: “I’m not going. Ask Mufira and the others to come in, and bring the gold testing equipment.”

“Alright, Miss.”

Before long, the door knocked again, and several staff members came in.

They glanced at the two sitting close together and gave a slight bow.

Laisia went straight to the point: “Test the gold, then exchange it for silver coins at a price 10% higher than the market price.”

“Alright, Miss Laisia.”

…

Leaving the Snake Badge Consortium.

Wu Heng went straight back to his residence.

There was no one at home, Mini and Andre Willow probably did not know the news of the departure yet.

After a brief wash.

He opened the boundary door directly and went to the Zombie World.

He walked downstairs.

The survivors were still busy with their own affairs.

The convoy that was originally parked in the courtyard was gone. They should have gone to the square that was cleaned up yesterday to retrieve resources.

“Great King!”

Someone passed him by and greeted him.

Wu Heng gave him a glance.

Military helmet, wireless headset, bulletproof vest, carrying a strong crossbow, with an electric baton and flashlight around his waist.

Except for not carrying a gun, the whole set looked more like a special forces soldier.

He walked with his head held high and chest out.

He must have thought he looked quite handsome.

“Where’s Li Yahong?” Wu Heng asked.

The man did not answer, but picked up his headset and asked, “Checkpoint location, has Sister Hong’s convoy returned?”
