The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 100
Chapter 100: Chapter 99, Captain of the 12th Team_l
“Are they all your companions?” Wu Heng asked.
“Yes!”
Wu Heng continued, “Where are you headed?”
“Lundham City.”
“You say you’re a trade caravan, you should have wagons, right?”
“They’re in the back.”
Wu Heng nodded, “Let’s bury them, then we’ll head to ‘Lundham’ together.” The man took a deep breath and began the strenuous task of moving the bodies. “Jianyi, Jian’er, help him move the bodies,” Wu Heng instructed.
Considering his state, moving these bodies might require some effort.
His help could speed up the process, while also serving as some form of supervision.
He might not be associated with the elderly women, but one can never be too cautious out here.
“Thank you.”
The man got up, put on his clothes, and began moving the bodies along with
Jianyi and Jian’er.
Wu Heng went back outside, making his way to the backyard for a look.
There were three wagons parked in the back.
He lifted the cover to find fabrics and some pottery underneath.
They were indeed a merchant convoy.
“Too naive. How could such a good thing happen in a place like this?”
You wouldn’t even get freebies in the brothels of the slums, let alone play with nuns here?
Play with your life, more like it!
Soon, the man came back with Jianyi, and Jian’er.
As he unhitched the horses, he said: “Apologies for the spectacle. The Ghost
Hag’s illusory abilities are too strong, most people can’t detect it. We were just about to make our delivery, alas- ”
“Hmm! ”
Wu Heng didn’t say much else.
The Ghost Hag’s illusions are just superficial, coupled with verbal manipulation.
Targeting some primal instincts of men.
The charm of a seductive nun can be overwhelming.
However, with the increasing of Wu Heng’s abilities and the unlocking of [Enhance Will].
His perception and ability to resist abnormal states have also been strengthened.
Although his eyes saw a voluptuous and charming nun, his perception saw a stooped figure.
If you didn’t know, that’s one thing. But if you knew the other party was an ugly old woman, could you still make a move? No way.
So he wanted to leave, without stepping into this murky water.
But the nun was clearly unwilling to let him go, sticking to him like glue. So, he had no choice but to strike first.
The convoy began moving.
The man was in front, and Wu Heng sat in the back wagon.
Keeping a distance between each other, he was indirectly escorting him.
They made steady progress.
As dusk loomed, the caravan finally arrived at ‘Lundham’ City.
From afar, one could see clusters of dense buildings.
Unlike previous cities.
The structure of Lundham City consisted of dense buildings, followed by walls and watchtowers. Silver armored guards could be seen patrolling the walls.
“These are the outer city districts, they weren’t part of the original city plan. The people who couldn’t find a place to live inside the city put up temporary dwellings outside, and as the population grew, it turned into what it is now.” The man from the trade caravan, explained from the front.
“The people inside the city don’t care?”
“Why should they? The outer city also pays taxes. If a large area of land is allowed to expand, nobody will care.” The man continued.
Your own build houses outside the city, you have to pay taxes too.
Seems like no one would really care.
As they approached, the city walls magnified in their view.
The city gate was spacious, it could accommodate three wagons side by side.
This was much wider than the gate at Black Stone Town.
Many people had gathered at the city gates, aside from humans, there were some tall and robust races too.
With arms as thick as thighs, height exceeding two meters, green or gray skin, opened mouths revealing tusks, they were a stark contrast to the human race.
“Are those Beastmen?”
“Beastmen, yes. Humans and Beastmen co-habit here; don’t pick a fight with them. They are capable fighters and tend to move in groups.”
The caravan directly entered the city.
The man said, “I still need to deliver these goods to a store in another direction.”
“Alright then, let’s part ways here.”
“Friend, where are you staying? Once I’m done, I’d like to show my gratitude.”
“No need for such formalities. I’m also from the Yeko Kingdom, we should look out for each other when overseas.”
“Then at least tell me your name.”
“Wu Heng.”
“Thanks, Mr. Wu Heng, for saving my life. When I have the chance, I will certainly repay you.”
“No need to be so polite.” Wu Heng waved his hand and they both bid each other goodbye.
After parting ways with the caravan, he inquired about the location of the association and headed straight there.
Inside the city, it was exceptionally bustling and lively. Wu Heng and several skeletons walked towards the association together.
Upon reaching the city center, Wu Heng was somewhat amazed by the architecture in front of him.
It seems that the more remote the area, the more extravagant the buildings.
This place is far more luxurious than Black Stone Town’s Consortium of Professionals.
And across the street, there’s an even more flamboyant building with a ‘snake head’ emblem – the Snake Badge Consortium.
Well, the Snake Badge Consortium is out in the open.
Upon entering the consortium hall, the floor is bright and clean, and there are a lot of professionals gathered.
There are humans, as well as muscular beastmen wielding battle axes and nail hammers.
Wu Heng directed a few skeletons to wait on the side as he went directly to the front desk.
“Sir, how can I assist you?” The staff member was a female beastman.
Green skin, with two prominent tusks jutting from the corners of her mouth.
Her muscles were more noticeable than her bust.
Wu Heng said, “I’m the new team leader assigned by the consortium, here is my appointment letter.”
The staff member took a close look, continued to smile, and said, “Please wait, I’ll go and inform the steward.”
“Alright!”
Soon, the staff member came back.
She said, “Please follow me, the steward is waiting for you over here.”
Wu Heng nodded and followed her up to the third floor, stopping in front of a room.
He knocked lightly on the door and entered after receiving a response.
In the room, a burly middle-aged man was seated with a thick, bushy beard, but it was very neatly trimmed.
It was evident that it had been groomed carefully.
The middle-aged man was scrutinizing Wu Heng’sletter of appointment, then looked up at Wu Heng.
He said quietly, “Wu Heng, a Necromancer, from the Yeko Kingdom.”
“Yes!” Wu Heng answered, standing before him.
“Becoming an external special envoy for less than a month, you earned two level 3 merits, and was recommended by the steward to be promoted to captain.”
The man looked him up and down again.
He then said directly, “Alright, since you’re here, you’re now the Captain of the 12th team of Lundham City. I’m Gomez, the local steward. You can come to me if you have any problems.”
“Yes, Steward Gomez.”
“Alright, give yourself two days to get your living arrangements sorted out.” Having said that, he lightly pulled a bell cord nearby.
The bell rang, and the staff member from earlier came in.
The steward said, “This is the new Captain of the 12th team. Please register him.”
“Yes, steward.”
Wu Heng was led out, filled in a form, and then received a local captain’s ID card.
This signified that he was officially employed and possessed a legitimate identity.
Wu Heng learned about the process and procedure of housing from the female beastman staffer, he then went directly to the city hall of Lundham City.
The procedure for handling the house deed was simpler than he expected.
With the consortium’s guarantee, they just checked the deed, asked for his name for registration.
And with that, the whole process was completed.
Following the location on the deed, Wu Heng went directly to his new residence.
This was a mansion located on the edge of the inner district; a three-story building, but not a very large plot of land.
Each floor was about sixty square meters with small yards in front and back.
The living conditions were pretty good.
Wu Heng took out his keys to open the door, the house was empty, with no furniture.
The floor was covered in dust; footprints were visible.
It looked like other people had visited in the past.
He looked around the upstairs and downstairs.
He instructed Jianyi and Jian’er to clean the rooms.
Wu Heng went out and had some food at a nearby bar.
After filling his stomach, he returned home.
He opened the boundary door to the Zombie World.
Zombie World.
Wu Heng checked the situation in the small area.
He took out the walkie-talkie and directly contacted Li Yahong.
Waiting at the crossroads for a while,
Li Yahong came running over quickly.
She looked at him, wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
It had been three days since the last time they spoke.
The truck had been modified, and quite a few spears had been made.
But she had been unable to contact him.
If it weren’t for the remaining skeletons, Li Yahong would have thought that he had run away and left them.
“Has the truck been fixed?” Wu Heng asked.
Li Yahong nodded, “Three trucks and one bus have been reinforced. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Hmm, you can contact the prison. We will go there together tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
