Chapter 91 - 90, Ask about exchanging food for guns_l
The Cheetah beside her stood up too, also looking at their direction.
Wu Heng didn’t sense the danger emanating from them, but their stares were nonetheless somewhat uncomfortable. He said, “Well, he talked to me about some issues.”
“What did he say?” Slyther continued to ask.
A woman’s intuition? Or did she have some ability?>
It was certain that she didn’t know what Yazde had done to him, but she clearly felt something.
Wu Heng didn’t think too much about it and just casually said, “He asked me about my future plans, said that I was the one he recruited and that I was his confidant. He then told me not to easily trust others.”
Bang-!
Slyther suddenly slapped the table, her cold voice saying, “Huh! He’s already dead and still babbling nonsense…”
Wu Heng was also startled and nearly pulled out his gun.
Listening to the meaning in Slyther’s words, it seemed like she had misunderstood Yazde’s words as referring to her.
It seemed like although they appeared to be on good terms on the surface, their relationship was worse than he had imagined behind closed doors.
Slyther took a deep breath, causing her full bosom to heave upward before falling back down.
Then she said, “The city hall said that Yazde has left instructions that after his death, all his properties in Black Stone Town and other assets should be transferred to you. They’ll notify you in a few days.”
Slyther stared at him seriously and said, “Regardless of his character, it seems he really liked you.”
Him inheriting the estate actually wasn’t that weird.
Or to put it another way, he had expected this sort of arrangement.
“Hmm.” Wu Heng nodded, not intending to say more about this matter and continued to ask, “Should I address you as housekeeper now?”
Slyther didn’t bother to be modest and nodded, “I’m temporarily in charge here, and when the appointment letter from the headquarters comes, who knows if a new housekeeper will be sent here to retire… If that happens, I’m calling it quits.”
Eh…
The mood seemed to lighten considerably at the use of the term ‘old lady.’
“You should be the one appointed as the housekeeper.” Wu Heng flattered her a little.
Slyther rolled her eyes at him, her gaze returning to the documents in her hand.
Thump thump thump-!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yuli peeked into the room and asked, “Aunt, have you finished talking?”
“What’s up?”
“Ao, I’m looking for Wu Heng.”
Slyther looked at the two of them, wondering when they’d become so close.
Still, she said, “Okay, you two go ahead!”
“Alright, Housekeeper Slyther.”
“The appointment letter hasn’t come yet, don’t talk nonsense.”
After leaving the study.
Wu Heng felt somehow relieved.
The exit strategy that Yazde had prepared had perfectly solved his worries.
He just felt rather relaxed.
“What were you and my aunt discussing for so long?” Yuli asked.
Wu Heng said, “Yazde transferred his house to me.”
“Ah? Are you really his illegitimate child?” Yuli was somewhat surprised.
“You’re his illegitimate child, he probably trusts me, he brought me here after all.” Wu Heng casually found an excuse.
Considering everyone now thought Yazde cared for him, he needed to play along.
“That’s nice, you have your own place now. I’m still living with my aunt who’s always bossing me around and making me read books. It’s so annoying.” Yuli complained in a low voice.
Seeing Wu Heng owning a house, she felt somewhat envious.
But unlike adults who envy the value, she was envious of having her own place and not being bossed around by others.
“Wait until you get married, then you can move out on your own.”
“Humph! Stop with your nonsense.” Yuli’s cheeks turned red as she punched him.
The property hadn’t been transferred to his name yet, so Wu Heng didn’t dare to move in immediately, fearing there may be more trouble.
He returned to the crowded area with Yuli.
After preparing and eating instant noodles, Yuli finally left satisfied.
Wu Heng closed the door and began to look at the skill books he had received that day.
There were three in total, and he began to read through each one.
[Unlock Skill: Corpse Manipulation Skill.]
[Unlock Skill: Evil Explosion Skill.]
[Unlock Skill: Fireball Technique.]
He quickly unlocked all three skills.
No wonder Yazde considered him a magic prodigy with this speed of unlocking skills.
The night outside was dark and heavy.
Wu Heng tidied up a bit and decided to take a rest.
So much had happened today.
I am truly a little tired.
I told Basen to guard the gate carefully to avoid ‘Anel’ attacking sneakily.
I went to bed for rest.
As soon as I lay down, another prompt appeared.
[Summoning Object – Skeleton Warrior, unlocked specialty ‘Machinery Expertise (Beginner)’.]
[Summoning Object – Skeleton Warrior, unlocked specialty ‘Spear Expertise (Beginner)’].]
[Summoning Object – Skeleton Warrior, unlocked specialty ‘Spear Expertise (Beginner)’].]
In an instant, Wu Heng became somewhat spirited.
Unexpectedly, they unlocked so many specialties at this time.
It seems that the training of the Skeleton Warriors was very effective.
Following this, Wu Heng was attracted by ‘Machinery Expertise’.
Among the skeleton soldiers who were arranged for training and study, except for spear training, the rest was a skeleton warrior who was learning to use generators and some tools with Li Yahong and the others.
This must be why the corresponding specialty for this area was unlocked.
The situation seems excellent, confirming that the skeleton can also learn how to use various appliances.
This is a good thing.
Wu Heng had no plans to go see the Zombie World.
He closed his eyes and began to sleep.
The next day.
Wu Heng came to the Zombie World, looking at the pile of corpses between the two buildings.
He was not there, but Big Head Skeleton was always cleaning the surrounding zombies with ordinary skeletons.
The number of them reached almost four hundred.
Standing in front of the pile of bodies, he directly released [Dead Bones Battlefield].
A gray-white halo spread out, flesh and blood began to fall off in large chunks, and one skeleton directly stood up.
Within the skill, he could also turn bodies into carrion.
But carrion harbors bacteria and endemic diseases, and once they start a war with zombies, it’s hard to distinguish who is who.
Skeletons are better.
The skeletons slowly walked into the skeleton team.
At this time, Xiao Xiao flew back.
He said: “Uncle, Auntie Li Yahong is here.”
“Hmm, okay!”
Wu Heng walked out with several skeletons, and saw Li Yahong outside the community who had brought the iron spears.
“There are 378 iron spears in total,” Li Yahong said.
Wu Heng nodded to Big Head Skeleton next to him and said: “Have the skeletons take the iron spears and distribute them to the skeletons.”
A team of skeletons walked out of the community, picked up the iron spears, and returned to the community.
Wu Heng continued to look at Li Yahong and asked: “Let’s go see what kind of food you want to exchange this time?”
Li Yahong broke away from the gaze of Big Head Skeleton, “Oh, okay!”
Both of them entered the community and chose the food they wanted to exchange from the storage room.
He commanded the skeletons to move the selected food downstairs and load it onto the handcart.
Wu Heng continued: “Bring ten Level 5 skeletons.”
Soon, ten Level 5 skeletons carrying iron spears walked over.
Wu Heng directly said: “These ten skeletons will follow you; teach six of them to drive and repair cars, and four of them to use generators and tools.”
“Ah? Teach them to drive? These cars?” Li Yahong pointed to the car beside her.
Wu Heng nodded, “Yes, the vicinity is safe, find an empty spot and teach them twice, then let them practice by themselves.”
There were plenty of cars anyway, so they could practice as they pleased.
And since Li Yahong and her crew knew how to fix cars, they could fully meet the conditions for practice.
“Is there a problem?”
“Not at all, I will arrange it when I get back.” Li Yahong quickly replied.
Wu Heng nodded.
Then he thought about it and asked, “Are you still in touch with City South Prison?”
“We often hear them taking in survivors, asking everyone to gather there.”
The places where prisons were built were always far from the city, and there were fewer zombies there; indeed, it was safer.
However, food was always a problem.
Wu Heng continued to ask: “Are they still exchanging food?”
“Yes, they are. I asked yesterday, and they seem to be running low on supplies.”
“Hmm, contact them and ascertain the quantity of firearms and ammo they can offer in exchange for food.”
Li Yahong was taken aback.
So we’re really going to get guns..
