Chapter 443, Pirate Gathering
Wu Heng said: "Are you referring to the flying gun?"
Qi Hancai nodded, "Is it convenient? If not, forget it."
Wu Heng thought for a moment, waved his hand, and the mineral water bottle placed in front of the car floated into the air.
"It's a simple ability. Just know about it, but don't tell anyone else."
Explaining Glenda's matter to her would be incomprehensible.
Instead, he used [Animate Object] as a simple explanation.
"I understand." Qi Hancai's eyes widened as she subconsciously nodded.
This was another awakening of a new ability.
Too terrifying.
It was simply a collection of abilities.
Soon, Wu Heng received a prompt from Xiaoxiao and said directly: "Go up the overpass."
Still shocked, Qi Hancai immediately reacted, started the car, and looked for a way to get onto the overpass.
Meanwhile, she used the walkie-talkie to call everyone else over.
They got on the overpass.
Corpses were lying all over the ground.
Wu Heng got out of the car and said to Qi Hancai: "Bring our people up."
"Okay!" Qi Hancai quickly walked over, grabbed the rope, and pulled the people below up.
Wu Heng walked to the front, and Glenda's voice sounded in his ear, "This ability is really not bad."
"Hmm, the displayed effect is beyond my expectations," Wu Heng agreed.
The effect recorded in the manuscript was to let ghosts wield swords and fight the enemy.
But this involved swordsmanship.
The effect wasn't great.
Now, using the mind to hold and fire a gun was much more effective, with no high technical requirements.
Wu Heng bent down and collected all the guns and ammunition from the corpses.
He found a corpse and directly used [Speak with Dead].
The fallen corpse suddenly sat up, its eyes looking this way.
Wu Heng asked: "Tell me your entire plan."
The corpse replied, "Exchange food with you, then kill everyone to avoid future retaliation."
"Where did you get the guns?"
The corpse replied, "Near the south, there's a military area. We lured some Zombies, killed them, and got these guns."
A military area in the south?
That should be the military district location Qi Hancai had found out about.
Wu Heng continued to ask: "What else do you know about the military area?"
"There are many guns and lots of armored vehicles and tanks in the yard."
Tanks as well.
Damn!
How could such things appear in the city?
"Are there many Zombies?"
"A lot."
"Any special Zombies? I mean mutated Zombies."
"Haven't seen any."
After answering five questions, the corpse lay back down.
Wu Heng continued with the second corpse, casting [Speak with Dead] again.
The corpse sat up again.
Wu Heng asked: "Where is your shelter?"
The corpse replied, "Gaode Street, Brewery Shelter."
"How many people are left in your shelter?"
"More than ten."
"Any ability users?"
"None."
"Does everyone have guns?"
"Two guns left."
Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of people are there?"
"All women we control."
After five questions, the corpse lay back down.
At this time, Qi Hancai also came over from behind, glanced at the corpses, and said: "Everyone is saved, no deaths, but severe colds are inevitable when we get back."
"Surviving is the most important. Be more cautious in the future."
"I'll definitely be more careful," Qi Hancai said seriously.
Wu Heng asked: "Have you heard of the Brewery Shelter?"
Qi Hancai's eyes flashed with surprise, "Yes, they traded some food with us a few days ago. So, this is related to them?"
"Yes, these people are from the Brewery Shelter."
"These shameless guys! They managed to exchange food with us because we cleared the Zombies along the way. Now they're biting us back." Qi Hancai cursed angrily.
Whether it was exchanging food with them or clearing nearby Zombies,
Even if it was mainly for clearing roads, it indirectly helped them.
Now they tied up our people and tried to extort food.
It's like feeding a dog and then being bitten by it.
"When the army arrives, we'll flatten them," Qi Hancai said angrily.
"There are still some controlled women there. We'll see the situation when the time comes."
"Alright!"
Soon, the rest of the convoy arrived.
Qi Hancai had people check the vehicles left by these individuals.
Wu Heng used [Battlefield of the Dead] to transform the corpses into skeletons.
When everything was done, the army headed straight for the Brewery Shelter.
...…
Outside the Brewery Shelter.
As the skeleton army approached in great numbers,
Two people, a man and a woman, walked out from the gate.
They raised their arms high and walked straight out.
Qi Hancai suppressed her anger, "Not going to resist?"
The man replied, "We have no ability to resist. The ones left inside are all women. Please don't kill us."
Qi Hancai glanced into the yard.
She continued, "Everyone come out. Hand over all weapons and firearms. If anyone hides anything, you'll all be implicated."
"Alright, I'll notify them." The woman who came out went back to inform them.
A large group of women came out from inside.
Alongside them, discarded knives and two guns were thrown aside.
"Enter the yard!" Qi Hancai said.
The convoy and skeleton army entered the yard, and the gates were fully closed.
Qi Hancai officially took over this factory area.
Wu Heng began arranging skeletons to fortify the factory's defenses.
Soon, Qi Hancai returned.
"No problems. This place had so many people because it was originally a storage warehouse for food and brewing. The others are cooperative, and I plan to observe them for a while."
"Okay, you'll handle this. Get more intel from the military district over there. Next time, we'll clean it up directly," Wu Heng said.
"Alright." Qi Hancai agreed and continued, "This was the leader's room. I had it cleaned up. You can stay here, and I'll stay next door."
Wu Heng nodded and entered the room.
He opened the portal and returned to Gold-Silver Island.
...…
Back on Gold-Silver Island.
Wu Heng first went to the alchemy lab and checked it.
He collected all the finished potions and then went downstairs.
Today, Shanaila didn't come, and two maids were chatting in the living room.
They had dinner together.
Wu Heng distributed core potions to the two maids to enhance their attributes.
After taking the potions,
They trained as usual.
Wu Heng then took the two maids to the bathroom to bathe.
In the tub, with a maid on each side, they leaned against his chest.
Wu Heng patted the fox maid's perky bottom and asked: "Is everything okay on Milisen's side?"
"Everything's fine. The tavern reopened, and no rumors have spread," Andviel said with a slight twist.
"Hmm, that's good."
On the other side, Minnie lightly licked his chest and said: "Master, I have information."
"What information, Minnie?" Wu Heng looked at her.
Minnie said: "The number of guards has increased. Many are patrolling, and several new squads have been added."
Andviel added, "The port has also been taken over by the guards. The gangs planning to split the port business even gathered manpower to protest this."
These two pieces of information made Wu Heng slightly pause.
Originally, the guard increase was to capture pirates at sea.
Now, most of them were used on the island.
Minnie continued, "As long as they don't bother us, it's fine."
Andviel agreed, "Yes, it feels safer than Rentam City."
"Hmm."
Wu Heng didn't speak, pondering for a while.
After soaking for a while,
The three returned to their room to rest.
...…
The next day, at sea.
The Iron Barrel Pirate Crew's ship closely followed the 'Savage Lion Pirate Crew.'
Philipa stood on the deck, shaking her high-priced red scarf before putting it back on and donning her captain's hat.
At this moment, the sailor in the lookout shouted: "Captain, the Savage Lion Pirate Crew is signaling us to slow down and keep following."
Philipa glanced into the distance, seeing small dots faintly appearing on the horizon.
"Follow them. Everyone, stay alert. If they make any dangerous moves, we'll turn around immediately," Philipa said loudly.
It wasn't easy to establish a connection with a large Pirate Crew like the Savage Lion.
But safety came first.
Aside from their identity, black-on-black pirate attacks were common.
If something happened, they needed to escape quickly.
At the same time, a bit of excitement welled up inside.
If they couldn't find news of the Pirate King, relaying information about the Savage Lion Pirate Crew back would still be a great achievement.
Then, at least Wu Heng might give her one of those iron-pipe weapons.
At sea, anyone who disobeyed would get blown to pieces by that weapon.
However, as they got closer,
Philipa's expression grew serious.
The densely packed pirate ships in the distance came into view.
All the Pirate Crews, big and small, in the Emerald Sea, were gathered here.
Why did they all come?
Suddenly, an unsettling feeling arose in her heart.
