…
Through the boundary door, they returned to their dwelling.
By the time they came downstairs, dinner was already prepared.
Since the store was closed again, Mini and Andre Willow didn’t have much to do now.
They had prepared dinner together at home.
The three of them sat at the table to eat.
Wu Heng asked, “Any news from the city?”
Andre Willow said, “Most of the people from the outer city district have fled, leaving empty houses everywhere.”
“What about the Outer City Area?”
“The people in the Outer City Area also have reduced a lot; only some food stores, stores for daily necessities are open, those who can leave have left, the others are local residents.” Andre Willow solemnly replied.
If it wasn’t for the fact that families were living in the city.
It would be hard to flee, fearing that the whole city would be deserted.
“Hmm.” Wu Heng nodded, then asked again, “Has Wen Mansha come over?”
“I visited Sister Wen Mansha yesterday. The Pinned Gang has been assigned patrol duties and they’re being watched, so they won’t be able to come over for a short while. She asked me to tell you.” Andre Willow said.
The Pinned Gang is a gang, having a few thousands of members.
Even if they were assigned patrol duties, there were sure to be some restrictions.
If so many people rebelled in the city, it could become a major problem.
It’s indeed correct for Wen Mansha not to come over for now.
“Hmm.” Wu Heng just nodded, not saying anything more.
After finishing dinner, he continued to instruct the two of them.
Then he directly went to the union, to continue with the night patrol duty.
Today’s patrol location was still the Inner City Area.
He led his team members around on patrol.
Randomly found a place, then nestled in a corner to sleep.
After dawn, everyone returned to their own homes.
…
Zombie World.
Wu Heng looked at the reddish dawn sky, ordered to clean up the battlefield.
The Skeleton Army began to carry away the bodies.
Forming into one long line, going back and forth from the location of their dwelling.
Wu Heng stood there watching, while also opening his panel to check his experience.
[Level: 9 (49828/64000)]
In two days, he had cleaned up the zombies in eight or nine locations.
The speed of experience gain was slower than what he had calculated.
But it was okay, he should be able to reach Level 10 tomorrow.
According to the Book of Necromancy, Level 10 belonged to the third-tier professions.
The strength would have a significant increase.
At that time, he would be able to better handle the threat of the Hammer Party.
After the bodies had all been moved.
Wu stood in front of the bodies, continuing to release the Dead Bones Battlefield spell.
When it was about time, he made his way to Lundham City, preparing for the night patrol task.
…
At the union, in the team’s lounge.
Upon opening the door, all the team members were sitting in the room.
“Captain, where are we going today?” Duke asked.
“We go to the Outer City Area today; let’s leave early to get there. After the patrol, we find a place to rest.” Wu Heng said.
These past few days, they had adjusted to the night.
It was nothing more than a few rounds; when night fell, they found a place to sleep.
“Captain, my mom sent a bear skin blanket for you; it’s very warm.” Duke picked up a black fur blanket from the ground, shook it and gave it to Wu Heng to try on.
It was indeed a bear skin blanket, and one could make out the shape of the bear’s head.
Seeing the bear skin, his first thought was of ‘Yuli’, the Druid girl.
“For me?” Wu Heng touched the bear skin.
“Ah, I told her that humans don’t like these things, but she insisted that I bring it to you. I had no choice.” Duke scratched his head.
Wu Heng looked at him and said, “Okay, I accept it. What did your mother prepare for you?”
“A blanket, it’s in your Space Ring!”
“You can use the bear skin blanket tonight, it’s quite valuable.”
“My mom would kill me if I took it. You should keep it.”
Talking and walking, they left the Inner City Area.
There were hardly any people to be seen on the streets of the Outer City Area.
Most of the shops had already closed.
The ones that were still open had their doors smashed open, everything inside had been looted.
He had underestimated the efficiency here; they didn’t need three days, they started in one night.
“Mata, you are patrolling the Outer City Area today!”
Suddenly, an inquiring voice came from the opposite side.
Gazing ahead, he saw an old beastwoman. Carrying half a sack of rice, and holding a child in each hand, she was walking out of the alley.
“Ah, why are you still wandering outside?” Mata asked.
“I came to buy some things, I’m going back now.” The old woman grinned, her wrinkled skin crinkled together, looking like tree bark.
Maka nodded, “Go back soon, don’t go out if it’s not necessary.”
“Okay.” The old woman agreed, leaving with her children.
Wu Heng watched the old woman leave.
Mata explained, “Their whole family lives here, most people still choose to stay.”
“Aren’t they afraid of the Hammer Party?” Wu Heng asked curiously.
Mata paused for thought, then said, “Actually … everyone is betting; betting that the Hammer Party won’t break in, or betting that the Hammer Party only wants to occupy the city and won’t hurt ordinary residents.”
After a moment of silence, Mata added, “Lundham City has never been peaceful.”
…
They arrived at the patrol location.
Wu Heng led the team to climb up the city wall.
A few familiar gang members nodded to them as a form of greeting.
Standing on the city wall and looking down below.
The buildings close to the wall had been demolished, leaving about a hundred meters of buffer zone to ensure that the enemy couldn’t use the houses to attack the wall.
The Iron Guard Knights and the city gang members were guarding on top of the city wall.
