Chapter 941: Chapter 752, Can He Be Killed? Chapter 941: Chapter 752, Can He Be Killed? Hartel's eyes still appeared somewhat dim as he replied subconsciously, “Okay.”
“What news is there from the south recently?” Wu Heng continued.
“Yesterday, we caught a few who came to gather intelligence,” Hartel said. “After the Skeleton Mage performed the questioning of the dead, we learned they were an investigation team from the Yeko Kingdom, sent to investigate why a transport team hadn't returned.”
The investigators had come.
“Did you kill them all?”
“We killed those we found. We're not sure if there were others who investigated.”
“Any other intelligence?”
Hartel continued, “The corpses also mentioned that the military received orders from above to retract their formations, trying to avoid some wars recently.”
The Second Prince's army starting to keep a low profile?
They probably also received the news about the association investigation team.
“Any intelligence on the Second Prince?”
“No related intelligence.”
“Mm, pay attention and gather intelligence in this regard. Notify me immediately if there's anything.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Wu Heng stood up. “Let's go. I'll pick a few high-level skeletons for you. Do you have any specific requests for their professions?”
“As my lord wishes.”
The battles along the way left no shortage of skeletons over Level 15 in the team.
Wu Heng fortified the entire Commander Mansion, then summoned six different profession Level 15 skeletons to serve as Hartel's personal guards.
After all, this was the frontline, potentially facing greater dangers.
Once everything was arranged.
Wu Heng headed upstairs again, returning to his study, bound for the Zombie World.
…
Stepping out of the boundary door.
Wu Heng released three ghosts.
Together, they walked outside.
The road looked different in the daylight than it had the previous dark night; it was now a carpet of flesh formed by decaying meat and blood.
Some were transformed skeletons that had fallen off, others were left from zombies fighting each other.
“Go find some tools and roughly clean up the rotten flesh on the road,” Wu Heng directed.
The skeletons sprang into action, searching for tools and starting to clean the surroundings.
Wu Heng, along with the ghosts and two skeleton attendants, entered an adjoining room.
The room covered an area of over thirty square meters.
A Zombie King, its head adorned with horns and skin wrapped in insect armor, was tightly chained in the center.
Blood splattered walls surrounded it.
It appeared to have been uncooperative the previous night, assaulted by the guarding skeletons, full of punctured holes.
Seeing Wu Heng enter.
The Zombie King, with its mouth constrained by chains, let out anguished howls, its eyes filled with bitterness and ferocity.
Like a wild beast that had been starving for a long time and was immensely furious.
“Didn't you want to return to Gold and Silver Island, or do you want to take this thing back to base first?” Glenda asked.
Xiao Xiao carefully hid behind Wu Heng's shoulder, “Its stare is so scary.”
“Not in a rush, leave it here to watch for a few days,” Wu Heng then looked around at the skeletons, “Keep a close watch, show no mercy for any movement.”
The surrounding skeletons crowed in closer.
Forming a circle, their empty eye sockets unblinkingly fixed on the Zombie King in the center.
After glaring back at the circle, the Zombie King's swollen eyes closed.
…
Leaving the house.
At the doorway, the rotten viscera had piled up into a meat mountain.
Wu Heng cast the [Grease Skill] and then [Fireball Spell], setting the mountain ablaze.
Dark smoke rose up, and the fire enveloped the mound of flesh.
“Let's go, there's still some time. Let's get Bella upgraded.”
Wu Heng gestured, and the Skeleton Army gathered around him.
Leaving some to guard the Zombie King, Wu Heng continued forward in a truck.
As they reached a safe distance, zombies started appearing ahead.
Wu Heng got out of the vehicle, having the Skeleton Hound attract the zombies while the Spear Array clashed with the horde of undead.
As the Remnant Souls ascended into the sky.
Bella charged up again, beginning to devour the scattering of Remnant Souls.
…
Headquarters of the Korean Rescue Team.
Knock, knock, knock~!
The sound of knocking rang out, and the tightly closed door cracked open slightly.
A woman dressed in professional attire stepped in, speaking softly, “Report to the Commander, the intelligence department just called in, saying the satellite captured some data.”
In the room, a middle-aged man sat at a desk, holding a cigarette, “What data?”
“The previous detection of the Zombie King's location has been completely overtaken by skeletons, and no trace of zombies can be seen within the entire area,” his deputy reported in a calm tone.
“That quickly?”
The middle-aged Commander furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with surprise and fear.
There was no need to guess the identity of the opponent.
After all, they had given the news to the people of Shanfu Port, but they had not expected the cleanup to proceed so quickly.
Nearly a day's time.
Even if bombers were employed for blanket bombing, it might not have ended so soon.
Taking a deep breath, he waved his Subordinate away, “You go back first, I will make a call to the information department about this.”
“Yes,” the female Subordinate left.
The Commander picked up the phone on his desk and dialed through directly, “About the satellite situation, tell me again.”
“Are you sure they are all skeletons?”
A confirming voice came through from the phone, “Captured by the satellite, very clear.”
“Can you confirm if there is a Superpowered Man?”
The Commander lowered his voice sharply, “We have indeed detected human targets, but we cannot confirm if they are the Skeleton Superpower Users,” came the response over the phone.
“What weapons are available for this distance?”
“KTS-1 guided missiles, they are sufficient to destroy the target.”
The Commander fell silent.
Should he take the risk?
If the target was that Superpowered Man, they could directly eliminate him.
But what if it wasn't? Pass the blame to other countries with a missile?
No, that sort of thing would be hard to cover up.
Taking a deep breath, the Commander finally said, “There's no rush, let's not make any moves for now.”
At dusk, Wu Heng returned with the skeletons.
The number of skeletons had increased again as Bella had devoured numerous Remnant Souls.
Although there had been no level upgrades, after a few more times, she would approximately reach level 20.
He glanced again at the confined Zombie King.
Seeing it this time, its body was covered with more injuries, probably from another beating.
After confirming there were no issues.
Wu Heng returned to his room, went through the boundary door, and returned to Seterde Fortress.
After having dinner in the dining hall, Wu Heng bid farewell to Hartel and wore the “Train Captain's Hat” in a secluded area outside the fortress.
He directly boarded the train and returned to Gold and Silver Island.
Inside the radio room.
Hartel said, “Madam, the master has returned to Gold and Silver Island.”
On the other end, Wen Mansha's voice came while she soothed a child, “There must be a new plan; you just take good care of the fortress.”
“Understood, Madam,” Hartel replied, then added, “The master said he will come to see you once he's done.”
Silence fell suddenly on the other end.
Wen Mansha, with a hint of a smile, said, “Next time you return, I will have you serve the master with me.”
Hartel was flustered, replying, “I dare not, madam. The master is yours.”
“No matter, though you're bonded by a contract, I see you as a sister. Next time, just join me in serving,” Wen Mansha teased a bit and then asked mockingly, “If you're not willing, let's forget it; there's no need to force you.”
Hartel's voice faltered.
Then she softly said, “Thank you, Madam. I am willing.”
Days later.
At the headquarters of the association, in the Hall of Glory.
A group of people carrying bundles of newspapers walked into the hall.
“The latest edition of the Gold and Silver Island newspaper has arrived.”
Swish~!
The bustling crowd turned around, picked up the newspapers at the reception, and dispersed in different directions.
“Gold and Silver Island will strengthen management. Apart from association staff, no forces are allowed to deploy armed personnel. This is aimed at the Snake Badge Consortium, isn't it?”
“Probably, they might be looking for an excuse to cleanse the Snake Badge Consortium out.”
“Look at the next item. The second Elixir auction is still held on Gold and Silver Island, still five elixirs.”
“No, I have to go to Gold and Silver Island.”
“Me too, let's go together, it'll be less lonely on the road.”
The originally tranquil association headquarters buzzed again due to the newspapers.
People walked out in groups, a newspaper in each person's hand.
Discussing the content.
In the dim castle.
A light knocking sound echoed, and the heavy, ornately carved wooden door was gently pushed open.
An elderly man in neat butler's attire slowly walked in.
He bowed slightly to the wooden coffin in the center of the room, then slowly began, “Miss, the latest edition of the newspaper from Gold and Silver Island has arrived. It includes the new episode of the Great Detective story and a letter from Island Lord Wu Heng to you.”
After speaking, the room fell silent again.
Just as the butler was about to leave and close the door.
Rustle~Bang~!
The coffin lid was slowly pushed aside, landing on the carpet.
Pale fingers rested on the edge of the coffin, and Lilith slowly sat up, “What does the letter say?”
“I haven't opened it yet.”
“Bring it to me!”
