The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 619: Chapter 509, electricity consumption of 220,000 people Chapter 619: Chapter 509, electricity consumption of 220,000 people Wu Heng found the whole situation overwhelming.

His wife was kidnapped, and he was supposed to wish the kidnapper happiness.

How could this happen to a pirate?

“Where is he?”

“Xi Ligui locked him up in prison, and I wanted to talk to you to see if you could spare his life instead of killing him. He’s not a bad person and he even saved me.” Philippa clung to his arm, “Please, Daddy!”

Being locked up by ‘Xi Ligui’ meant his name was also on the wanted list.

Once a warrant was issued, unless there was a record, it was difficult to erase.

Releasing him directly was obviously impossible.

If caught again, it would bring trouble to the Gold and Silver Island Association.

But, the man did save Philippa, and without him, she might have died out there.

“I’ll talk to Xi Ligui later and see if there’s a chance for him to redeem himself by making amends,” Wu Heng said.

“What does making amends mean?”

“It means to perform new meritorious deeds to make up for past mistakes.”

“Oh, only you mages are cultured.”

They returned to the room together.

A catwoman and a lop-eared bunny girl were cooling off on the sofa.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to pick rooms, you can choose from the second or third floor,” Mini called out to them.

Philippa also shouted, “I want to pick one too.”

“Why do you get to pick, you’re not living here?”

“There are so many rooms, it won’t make a difference with just one more,” Philippa hurriedly followed them.

Together they headed upstairs.

…

Wu Heng returned to his bedroom and changed his clothes.

He then went to the radio room and picked up the microphone, “Wen Mansha, I’m back on Gold and Silver Island, no need to worry.”

He had only intended to send a greeting.

From the radio, Wen Mansha’s voice followed closely, “Master, was your journey smooth?”

“It was smooth. There haven’t been any issues there in the past few days, have there?”

“No, the city hall has started rehiring, and the defense skeletons have been rearranged,” Wen Mansha reported.

When Wu Heng left, he had left her nearly twenty thousand skeletons.

They were all transferred from Zombie World.

For Lundham City, this was a substantial military force.

They could directly attack the eastern border cities of the Yeko Kingdom and would likely succeed.

There was also some ammunition left behind and off-road vehicles equipped with machine guns.

It wouldn’t be easy if there were really intentions to take it down.

Wu Heng continued with his instructions, “Take care of yourself and don’t overwork.”

“I know! When the baby is born, I’ll take him to see you.”

“Alright.”

He hung up the radio and Wu Heng continued out of the room.

He entered the opposite Alchemy Laboratory.

…

The Skeleton Alchemy Warlocks hadn’t made significant progress.

On the product shelf beside them, there were many finished elixirs and first-level corpse core potions.

After Wu Heng collected everything,

he proceeded to the Mechanist’s room.

The entire room was still being organized by the mechanists.

Wu Heng glanced over and

noticed that the compound bow blueprints had been sorted out, with the materials and dimensions for various parts all marked accordingly.

His absence had not delayed the skeletons’ work at all.

He also collected the finished blueprints.

Then he went downstairs and casually chatted with Mini and the others.

…

Toward dusk, Andre Willow returned from city hall.

During dinner,

Wu Heng listened to ‘Andre Willow’ talking about the island’s progress.

The construction crew was still expanding, and the addition of various construction vehicles multiplied the speed of the entire project.

Workers had now begun the house construction work.

For the trade caravan purchases, the city hall had signed procurement agreements with six companies, two of which involved direct copper coin procurement instead of copper ore.

The remaining four were for white gunpowder and lead.

If the quality and speed met the standards, they would continue to purchase.

Mini asked, “Why not wait for ‘Sha Naila’ to come back for the procurement? We could definitely save quite a bit of money.”

Philippa joined the conversation, “She and Wu Heng are lovers, and we can’t just buy everything from one place, just as we separate the goods to sell.”

“Before, food and weapons were bought together, that situation you mentioned never happened.”

Philippa scratched her head, “Then I don’t know, maybe they argued!”

“Sha Naila isn’t here; if she were, we would have sought her out. Don’t make wild guesses,” Wu Heng said and then asked, “Has ‘Sha Naila’ sent any messages lately?”

“No, I hope there’s no danger!” Mini looked up.

Wu Heng also frowned and pondered for a moment, “She shouldn’t be troubled, returning to her clan like that. Nobody should give her a hard time.”

“Yeah, that makes sense. Sister Shanaela is so wealthy, everyone would want to be on her good side.”

As the group chatted while eating, the newly joined ‘Robey’ and ‘Annette’ ate quietly, listening in on the conversation.

After dinner,

they then had a training session in the training room.

Philippa returned to the tavern.

Wu Heng called all the maids to the living room.

Looking at Robey and Annette, he said, “I need to sign a slavery contract with you. Mini must have mentioned it to you.”

The two exchanged glances and nodded, “Master, we are willing.”

“Then let’s begin. Who will go first?”

Little cat girl Robey stepped forward, her eyes resolute and her head held high, “I’ll go first.”

There was a sense of nobly facing one’s fate.

Robey was a cat person from the Beastman tribe, with her brownish-gray hair and matching brownish-gray cat ears and tail.

Her height was around 1.4 to 1.5 meters—a small Beastman.

Wu Heng smiled, “It’s okay, don’t be nervous; it won’t affect your future life at all.”

“I’m not nervous,” Robey retorted stubbornly.

Wu Heng opened the contract scroll, “First drop of blood.”

The cat girl’s pinky fingernail extended and gently pricked her fingertip, letting a drop of blood fall onto the scroll.

The scroll absorbed the bloodstain, drawing upon Wu Heng’s spiritual power, and burrowed into the cat girl’s forehead.

A pattern formed and then quickly disappeared.

The contract was complete.

Robey’s body swayed slightly, a soul connection had been established between them.

“Go sit to the side and rest for now!”

Robey curtsied and then sat down to the side.

Next, Annette stepped forward willingly, “Do I also need to draw blood?”

“Yes!” Wu Heng opened another slave scroll.

Annette, like Mini, was from the Rabbit People Clan, with an egg-shaped face, long brown hair, but her ears were white hanging rabbit ears.

With caution, she pricked her finger with a dagger and dropped her blood onto the scroll.

The contract was likewise complete.

Wu Heng said, “Alright, welcome to the team.”

The two women stood up, “Thank you, Master.”

“If you’re missing any daily necessities, let Mini know. When there’s time, Mini can take you to the city for a stroll, or to the beach. If you can’t swim, don’t go in the water, as this is no joke.”

“Yes, Master.”

“That’s all for today. Have fun and make sure to get to your rooms early to rest,” Wu Heng went upstairs.

Mini and Andre Willow then took the two new girls for a tour around the Island Master’s Manor,

explaining what each place was for.

Some rooms housed experimenting skeletons, and it was best not to disturb them without good reason.

After Wu Heng went upstairs, he checked the radio room for any messages from the wood elf ‘Sha Naila’, but finding none, he too went to his room to rest.

…

The next day, in the Zombie World,

Wu Heng stepped out of the building and saw a convoy driving through the main gate.

It stopped at the warehouse entrance in the distance, where survivors began to unload supplies.

Watching from the side for a while,

Qi Hancai approached with Wang Haibing, coming from not far away.

“How’s it going?”

Qi Hancai said, “The ruins from the big fire have been cleaned up. We are working on repairing the lines these past few days. In about one or two days, we should be mostly done.”

“And the main station?”

“The main station has agreed to a deal. They will provide the blueprints for a 200-megawatt power station, which should meet the annual electricity demand of about 220,000 households.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Heng felt that 220,000 households should be sufficient.

Not to mention that in the Zombie World, each stronghold rarely had more than a few hundred people, and on Gold and Silver Island, there were only tens of thousands of residents.

Although still expanding, the population growth wasn’t that rapid.

It would be more than enough for his use.

“Pretty good,” Wu Heng commented, then asked, “Any demands?”

“After some bargaining, they want 30 bags of 100-kilogram grains each.”

The quantity was somewhat high, but not unacceptable.

“How will they transport it?”

Qi Hancai answered, “They said we need to take over an airport, then they’ll arrange for planes to come over.”

There was an airport in the provincial city.

“Alright, tell them to send the blueprints, and make sure they’re detailed.”

“Okay!”

Wu Heng continued to look at ‘Wang Haibing’, “Engineer Wang, how are things on your end?”

“All done here too. Leader Qi Hancai took me to look at the Flame Furnace; it can completely meet the heat supply. Here is the blueprint I’ve drawn according to the original power plant. Just replace the original boiler and it will work,” he explained, pulling out a blueprint.
