The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 403: Chapter 337, Eagle Eye Technique

Yang Long sat down on the chair, revealing an expression of having been deceived.

Wu Heng also returned to his seat and sat down, “Nobody talks about this kind of thing carelessly.”

“That’s true!” Yang Long nodded in agreement, and continued, “Brother, just out of curiosity, why are you collecting gold at this time? Isn’t it a bit too early?”

It was different from last time outside the military’s market.

Today, Yang Long spoke more, but his tone was more courteous.

This was the switch in roles between the two sides.

Wu Heng had to be more discreet at the military market, and likewise, the other party had to restrain themselves here.

“There happens to be some grain, so we’re collecting a bit of gold in advance for use once order is restored.” Wu Heng said.

Yang Long’s expression paused, and in the end, he only said one thing, “Smart!”

“Captain Yang, have you come this time to exchange for grain as well?”

Yang Long nodded, “Yes, and I’ve also brought some gold. The pricing for your weapons and military equipment here, doesn’t it seem a bit out of line with the market…?”

Wu Heng understood what he meant.

He explained, “Rest assured, Captain Yang, we only exchange grain, not guns and ammunition. You still dominate the market.”

Guns and ammunition were even more important to Wu Heng than grain.

Grain could be bought at any time; the Wood Elves had elixirs that stimulated plant growth, so there was definitely a sufficient supply.

However, ammunition production had not yet been restored.

“It’s just that the prices are too low; it’s difficult for us to exchange with you,” Yang Long continued.

“We don’t lack guns and ammunition at the moment either; if needed, we would also go to the military side to exchange.” Wu Heng said.

Yang Long was without recourse.

From the defensive forces of the market, they really weren’t lacking in guns.

So, he didn’t dwell on the topic any further.

Instead, he continued, “Brother, tell me the truth, are you going to continue collecting gold later on?”

“Yes, the price remains the same. We’ll take as much as there is.”

“You’re not joking?”

“Not joking!”

“Good, as long as I have brother’s word, we won’t bother you any longer.” Yang Long stood up.

“Hmm.”

Wu Heng escorted them to the door.

They climbed back into their armored vehicle and drove off.

Outside the market, vehicles from different shelters were still gathered, engaging in grain exchanges.

…

As dusk approached.

The market began to grow quiet.

After confirming there were no more caravans coming, Qi Hancai gave the order to close the market.

Everyone began to pack up their things and head back to the dormitories in the rear factory area.

In the dormitory room.

Knock knock~!

A knock on the door sounded.

“Come in!”

The door opened, and Qi Hancai entered with a backpack, saying, “A total of 32 jin of gold, 4 level-one Corpse Cores.”

Hearing this figure, Wu Heng was still quite surprised.

32 jin of gold amounted to more than 530 Gold Coins in the Otherworld.

And this was just the first day’s amount.

Many shelters were skeptical of this place and didn’t come directly.

Based on the experience at the passenger station, the amount of gold will keep increasing for a while.

The second thing that surprised him was the Corpse Cores.

Four had been exchanged in just one day.

“The shelters here are actually exchanging Corpse Cores!”

Qi Hancai said, “I was quite surprised at first too, but after talking with the survivors, it actually makes sense.”

“How so?”

“The shelters here all have guns and rockets. They can devise ways to kill level-one Mutated Zombies successfully,” Qi Hancai explained.

This point was indeed quite convincing.

Human strength alone can’t contend with Mutated Zombies.

But with modern weapons, they are able to kill level-one Mutated Zombies, and humans are best at indirect kills, probably using traps or long-range takedowns.

“That does make sense,” Wu Heng conceded.

Qi Hancai smiled and said, “The market has just opened, and some people are definitely still watching from the outside. After a while, we’re likely to see people selling level-two Mutated Corpse Cores.”

Wu Heng agreed with this view.

The market here was better suited for business than the passenger station.

Indeed, mobilizing everyone to gather spoils of war was much quicker.

“Hmm, the market has done well. For now, slow down on other tasks and maintain the market here,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Understood!”

Wu Heng continued, “That’s it for now, be careful in your work.”

“Sure!”

Qi Hancai left the room.

Wu Heng collected all the gold and Corpse Cores.

Then he opened the Boundary Door and headed to Gold and Silver Island.

…

He appeared in the fourth-floor study.

Wu Heng went directly to the Alchemy Room and placed the four level-one Corpse Cores on the table.

At the same time, on the shelf beside him,

There were two more bottles of finished elixirs made from level-one Corpse Cores.

He put them into his Space Ring and immediately left the room.

Coming down from upstairs,

Mini and Andre Willow were fitting a little owl with a vest.

The fluffy feathers were tightly bound, making the head look comically large.

But it still looked quite cute.

Watching the owl getting dressed, Wu Heng was reminded of ‘Yuli’, who could transform into an eagle.

The armor on her body was a magical item that could transform into various types of armor depending on the form.

Seeing Wu Heng come down, the two called out ‘Master’ in unison.

Then, Andre Willow continued, “Master, the bounty for killing the pirates last time has been issued, along with a third-level merit, which you can collect at the front desk.”

The two pirate groups were the ‘Poison Blade Pirate Group’ and the ‘Red Crown Pirate Group’, which were defeated during the last rescue of ‘Xi Ligui’.

“Call me tomorrow morning, and we’ll go to the association together,” he said.

“Okay!”

Then Mini mentioned the situation with the pirate radio station.

Philippa had already started recruiting new sailors and had changed some of the weapons configuration on the ship.

Although the pirate group was not strong,

the equipment on the ship was definitely not lacking.

However, there were no serious intel updates.

Mini was quite willing to check the radio for information every day.

After all, she had read many ‘Straw Hat Crew’ comics and was curious about and yearned for the pirate life.

She would enter the room several times a day.

After discussing the official matters, Chef Number One’s dinner was also ready.

The three sat down at the dining table and ate.

After dinner,

Wu Heng directly gave two elixirs to the two women to continue increasing their Constitution.

The women cheered and took the elixirs in the living room.

After the effects of the elixir wore off,

they did a simple training before returning to their room to rest.

…

The next day.

Wu Heng and Andre Willow went to the association together.

While passing through the association hall,

they checked the rewards available for a third-level merit.

As Wu Heng’s level increased, some of the skills and magical items that he had were no longer of much use to him.@@novelbin@@

After spending a while selecting from the Skill Books, he found an ‘Eagle Eye Technique’ skill book that seemed quite decent.

Eagle Eye Technique

(Description: You can create an invisible sensor, place it at a location, and engage in observation and eavesdropping. (Invisible sensor, high Perception may detect it).)

When Wu Heng saw the name ‘Eagle Eye Technique’, he thought it was an enhancement for vision.

Or rather, it was a ranger’s skill.

Only after reading the introduction in the panel did he realize it was an invisible surveillance camera.

Once placed, it could observe and eavesdrop on a specific area.

However, it wasn’t completely invisible, as professionals with high Perception could still have a chance to detect it.

“I’ll take this one,” Wu Heng said.

The staff nodded, “Alright, Deputy Steward.”

Wu Heng collected the book and then went towards the office study.

…

Entering the room.

He opened the door and walked in.

Andre Willow was wiping the table.

Wu Heng said, “Wei’er, go tell Moya that I want to handle those two corpses I killed myself, ask her for a transfer certificate.”

“Yes, Master,” Andre Willow wiped her hands and went out the door immediately.

Before long, Andre Willow came back.

She handed over the transfer certificate for the corpses.

Wu Heng took the certificate and went to the morgue, asking the coroner to wrap the bodies in straw mats.

He then stored them in the Space Ring.

Once everything was settled, Wu Heng returned to his residence,

and continued towards Zombie World.

…

Zombie World.

The market had reopened.

Several shelters had come to trade food in succession.

Wu Heng walked out of the dormitory building and took out the bodies of the two pirate captains on the open ground behind the building.

He cast Bone Manipulation Skill in succession.

The two bodies stood up, revealing their levels and classes.

Skeleton Thief (Level 12)

Skeleton Warrior (Level 10)

It turned out that the captain of the Poison Blade was a thief, while the other was a warrior.

A level 12 was already pretty decent.

“You’ll be Poison Blade, and you’ll be Red Crown,” Wu Heng named them after the pirate groups.

After equipping the two skeletons, they walked back together.

…

Back in the factory area, Qi Hancai saw him and came up to meet him.

“No problems, pretty much the same as yesterday, everyone’s abiding by the rules,” Qi Hancai reported.

Wu Heng glanced towards the market.

On one of the off-road vehicles, a machine gun was mounted.

“Poison Blade, from now on you follow her and ensure her safety,” Wu Heng commanded directly.

Qi Hancai’s expression stiffened, astonished at the tall, slender skeleton with two short blades hanging at its waist.

Did she now have a skeleton bodyguard?
