Chapter 254: Chapter 213, Necromancer Repels the Hammer Party_1

Stacks of flyers filled with writing were brought into the hotel.

Wu Heng took out one and glanced at it.

The color of the text was a bit darker than what Andre Willow had written, probably due to the ink.

The overall look was not bad, except there were no illustrations.

Wu Heng had considered adding a picture of himself killing the Skull Crusher, but after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea.

Being too ostentatious might not be beneficial.

Li Yahong asked, “How’s the printing? I’ve checked and the symbols seem clear.”

To the people in this world, the words were just a bunch of symbols.

They couldn’t understand them at all.

Wu Heng didn’t feel like explaining and replied, “Pretty good.”

“Okay, if we need more in the future, I’ll have more printed.”

“No need, we should have enough,” Wu Heng said.

There were limited literate people in Lundham City, and once these flyers were circulated, it would largely depend on the people themselves spreading the message.

It’s to counter the rumors in the inner city.

After Qiangzi and the others finished moving everything, they greeted Wu Heng and left.

Li Yahong carefully took six potion bottles from her backpack and said, “Here are the ones Alchemy One gave us, I brought them straight here.”

[Strength-enhancing potion]

(Description: An extract concocted from the body parts of mutated creatures, capable of strengthening and enhancing one’s body, and with a tiny chance of awakening one’s latent power.)

It was a potion made from a level one Corpse Core.

Last time, during the rescue of Grandma Wang Ke, they were attacked by a herd of mutated cows.

After killing them, they indeed obtained quite a few Corpse Cores.

Wu Heng hadn’t been back for a while, so they had accumulated some.

There weren’t any new types of potion, it seemed the second and third-level Corpse Cores were still under development.

Wu Heng took out a bottle and gave it to Li Yahong, while storing the rest, “I’ll give you one. Drink it now. If anything goes wrong, I can help you.”

“Okay!”

Li Yahong opened the bottle and immediately gulped it down.

Under Wu Heng’s gaze, Li Yahong’s body began to redden, and veins bulged in her wrists and neck.

But, these symptoms only lasted a few seconds before disappearing.

Her skin remained wheat-colored, but appeared more delicate and smooth.

Li Yahong did a couple of high kicks on the spot and exclaimed in surprise, “I feel lighter and like I’ve aged backward several years.”

“It seems to have worked.”

“Yes, it’s truly miraculous.”

This was her second time taking a Corpse Core potion, but clearly, the second time was more effective than the first.

Her whole aura seemed to have changed.

After getting used to the change, Li Yahong calmed down from her excitement and said after giving Wu Heng a kiss on the cheek, “Thank you, when I become the Amazing Woman Warrior, I’ll watch your back.”

“Well, thanks in advance then, woman warrior.”

Once Li Yahong was sure she was okay, they returned to discussing serious matters, “The bus modification is almost done. I plan to transport some people over to gather living supplies.”

They had previously found a lot of buses at the bus station.

After taking them all back, Li Yahong had them refitted.

Now with the modifications completed, she planned to bring more people over: some to help transport materials, and some to start scavenging residential areas for cups, bowls, basins, and other common household items.

Wu Heng agreed with her plan.

With the Hammer Party situation resolved and the city gradually regaining order, it was time to reopen his grocery store.

This world was like a warehouse full of resources.

If handled correctly, the items, which every household once had, could earn him quite a bit of money and secure a long-term profit.

After a thought, he continued, “Find a safe place nearby as our base here, to provide a secure living space for everyone.”

“How about the bus station? It has a good yard for parking, a wall for cover, and the office building is pretty big. With a little remodeling, it could be used as a temporary dormitory.” Li Yahong recommended.

That place seemed to be a good fit.

“Let’s go and see it now.”

The two left directly with the skeleton crew and headed to the bus station.

They killed several wandering zombies nearby and reclaimed the area.’

After a walk around the yard, they indeed found it to be quite suitable for a base.

They asked the skeletons to fortify the bus station.

Then they returned to the hotel to move all the living supplies over.

The stuff in the hotel could be used for the dormitory.

The skeletons lined up and worked until dusk, while Qiangzi and the others filled their trucks with supplies.

They waved goodbye to each other, and the trucks quickly left.

Wu Heng remained to convert some corpses and then returned to his residence through the boundary door.

…

Ground floor living room.

Two maids in casual clothes, Mini and Wei’er, were sitting on the sofas, learning to write.

Mini was quite smart, but due to the environment she lived in, no one had taught her to read and write.

She was able to pick up reading quickly, but writing proved more difficult.

As she gripped the pen, her fingers became stiff, and she was already sweating.

“Oh my, my hand is cramping, it’s cramping, it’s so painful!”

Mini exclaimed, grabbing her hand.

“That’s what you get for holding your pen so tightly. I hope you don’t break the pen before you learn how to write,” Andre Willow criticized her.

“I, I just can’t get the hang of it!”

The two continued their conversation.

Wu Heng, along with the skeleton and the flyer he was holding, strode away.

“Master, should I prepare dinner?” Mini asked immediately.

Wu Heng glanced at her, “Hmm, go ahead, bring out Wen Mansha’s portion too.”

“Alright.” Tossing her pen, Mini ran off to the kitchen.

Andre Willow saw Bunny Girl escape and got up to follow her to the kitchen.

Soon, Wen Mansha returned with the skeleton.

The four sat together, chatting about the outside world while eating.

After dinner, they chatted for a while.

After Mi Ni practised her boxing, Wei’er continued to teach her to read and write.

Wen Mansha pulled him into taking a bath with her.

…

In the bathtub.

Wu Heng held Wen Mansha in his arms, enjoying the moment.

Wen Mansha spoke softly, “Ereno has arranged for many people to spread unfavorable rumors about us. More than 50 people were arrested in the evening. I am afraid if this continues, the two districts might break into chaos.”

Wu Heng caressed her plump and smooth body, feeling the exaggerated curves of her waist and buttocks.

He added, “I have prepared some propaganda leaflets. Arrange for people to distribute them tomorrow, preferably those who can read them out for others.”

“Propaganda leaflets? What are those?” Wen Mansha turned her head and asked.

“They recount how the Hammer Party was defeated, and my apprehension of the fugitive. Arrange for more people to talk about this and maintain order in the city.” Wu Heng continued.

“Alright, I will arrange for it tomorrow. Do you need me to arrange some people in their district too?” Wen Mansha looked back inquiringly.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, “Just figure out a way to send some leaflets over there. No need to send people.”

“Alright, I’ll do it first thing tomorrow.” Wen Mansha nodded.

“Hmm!”

…

The next morning.

Wen Mansha left with the skeletons, each of them holding a bunch of propaganda leaflets.

There was a lot to do today.

Besides distributing these promotional flyers, they also needed literate and well-spoken people to read them in public places.

Not many people in the Pinned Gang could read.

Being literate wasn’t a bonus in the gang recruitment process.

Finding such a group of people would indeed take some effort.

After a while.

After packing up his stuff, Wu Heng also left his place and headed to the guild.

There were quite a few mercenary groups that had appeared today.

They stood in front of the guild’s bulletin board, looking at the missions posted.

But the missions hadn’t been updated for a few days, and the mercenary groups simply passed by and left directly.

The executive ‘Gomez’ and the vice-executive ‘Ethan Ashkarl’ still hadn’t come to the guild.

The whole guild was completely running on everyone else’s conscience.

Wu Heng wasn’t particularly concerned about their safety, but mainly because he needed the executive to vouch for the killing of the fugitive.

He had already made up a story, but the person hadn’t shown up yet.

He went to the team’s resting room, and his three teammates were all sitting inside.

Seeing Wu Heng enter, they all stood up to greet him.

After exchanging pleasantries.

The swordsman, Galo Berley, spoke, “Captain, I asked around yesterday, and it seems there’s no one named ‘Mumloda’ among the elites in the inner city.”

The name Mumloda was the name given by the thief, Burke, who died and implicated this person as his mastermind through the ‘Communicate with the Dead’ technique.

Wu Heng had asked Wen Mansha to investigate this matter.

It seems that Galo Berley also remembered this name and investigated it secretly.

“There’s no such person?” Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Being placed in the guild at least demonstrates that this person definitely has a certain status in the city.

He shouldn’t be untraceable!

“It’s possible that he’s using a fake name, or a codename. From what I found, there’s no such person.” Galo Berley answered.

Wu Heng nodded and continued, “If you have the means, look into the town hall. Whoever arranged him to come in must have left some clues.”

While he couldn’t fully trust Galo Berley.

But at the very least, he was part of the guild.

His character was like the knight spirit, liking to abide by the rules arranged by the guild.

Letting him investigate wouldn’t hurt. Even if he had some secrets, there was nothing that could be leaked through him.

“Alright!”

The few of them sat together and chatted for a while.

Wu Heng then said, “Let’s go, we’ll patrol around, then go our separate ways.”

…

In the eastern district of the outer city.

On a stone pier beside the street.

A middle-aged man wearing grey linen and curly hair stood upright and shouted, “The heinous Necromancer threatens the City Lord with the lives of ordinary residents, occupying the East and North districts, and treating all residents as livestock for his evil magic experiments.

… We have to unite, we have to resist his rule …”

Amid the loud shouts.

Gradually, many people gathered and were discussing what the man had just mentioned.

Just when everyone was riled up by the man’s speech.

Someone came from behind with papers, louder than the man, shouting “Information from the guild, it describes the real situation of how the Hammer Party was defeated, come and see!”
