Returned to his residence.
Wu Heng sat in the living room and chatted with Mini for a while, and when he felt rested enough, he went upstairs.
He opened the boundary door and headed to Zombie World.
He added the small amount of materials he had purchased to the production chain machines.
Several people stood by silently waiting.
Soon, the machines began to operate, starting up the entire process.
Copper coins were cut into coin-sized discs, which were then pressed by the machine into hollow casings.
Next came fixing the base, filling with gunpowder, and securing the bullet head.
Wu Heng, having seen the blueprints, understood the general workflow.
Qi Hancai and the others were seeing the production of bullets for the first time and were full of curiosity.
But once the entire process was completed and the whole bullets were made, it seemed that they weren’t that difficult to manufacture after all.
“These materials might not last us very long,” Qi Hancai said.
“I’ll figure something out when the time comes; no need to worry,” Wu Heng replied.
Qi Hancai thought for a moment, “I can arrange for some copper items to be collected from various places, but gunpowder will be difficult to gather.”
“Well, then start collecting some copper items. I’ll figure out the gunpowder and lead,” Wu Heng suggested.
“Okay!”
After producing some bullets, Wu Heng had the machines halt production.
He gathered the newly made bullets.
Together, they walked out of the factory to the outside.
He handed the bullets to a Skeleton wielding a machine gun, “Switch to these bullets.”
The Skeleton opened the magazine and loaded the new bullets.
Fired at a target in the distance.
Bang, bang, bang~!
A burst of gunfire resonated, and the bullets hit a wooden target far away.
The trajectory and range were all good.
This also proved that not only was replacing the White Gunpowder not an issue, but the bullets produced by the entire production chain were up to standard.
“Looks like the effects are quite good,” Qi Hancai said, looking at the wooden target.
“Yes, indeed not bad,” Wu Heng agreed.
He had the Skeleton return to its post.
Wu Heng and Qi Hancai walked back together.
They went straight back to their respective residences.
…
The next day, at the Island Master’s Manor.
Wu Heng was sunbathing on a recliner, while Mini was tending to the flowers and plants in a flowerbed nearby.
Thump, thump, thump~!
The manor’s gate was knocked on.
Mini wiped her hands on her apron and hurriedly ran to open the door.
She chatted with the person outside for a moment.
Carrying a letter, she walked back.
“Master, there’s a letter for you from the association; it was delivered straight here,” she announced.
“A letter, huh?” Wu Heng sat up and took a look at it.
He tore open the envelope and poured out the letter.
Lines of handwriting appeared.
It was a letter from Wen Mansha.
“Master:
I have received the letter you sent, and I was very happy, but appearing suddenly by my bed still gave me quite a scare.
I can’t be startled like that now.
You said you would come to see me, but several days have passed without any news, and I can’t wait any longer, so I’m writing you this letter.
I only hope I won’t miss you, and that you will be there when I come.
Lundham City has been somewhat unstable lately. Two days ago, an assassination took place in the Outer City Area, and several officials from the city hall were assassinated with signs of interrogation.
Through investigation and arrest of several gang members,
some information was obtained about high-level professionals who had entered the city and were plotting something.
I have already arranged for more patrols and guards around the city, but the pressure has still led some officials to choose to leave.
Steward Slyther has also visited a few times, but he can’t stay in the city for long, and doesn’t have any particularly good solutions.
If you were here, Master, such things definitely wouldn’t happen…
I just hope I won’t do too poorly and let down your expectations.
Waiting for your return.
—Wen Mansha”
Reading the content of the letter, Wu Heng’s brows furrowed slightly.
Previous letters had all described Lundham City as prospering, with the city’s rapid development and taxes continuously rising.
Moreover, with Money Cat’s successful management, it had become the entertainment center of the surrounding cities.
The true City that Never Sleeps.
But today’s letter carried a sense of concern.
High-level professionals were assassinating officials and interfering with the development of ‘Lundham City.’
For a place like Lundham City without the support of any nation or power, it indeed was the kind of location most susceptible to an overthrow of authority.
It seemed he really had to make a return trip.
“Is it a letter from Sister Wen Mansha?” asked Mini from the side.
“`
“So smart!”
“I knew it was her, she must be going crazy thinking about you,” Mini said on the side.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Andre Willow had said the same thing.
Among the three maidservants in Lundham City, Wen Mansha was the clingiest.
It seemed Mini thought so too.
Wu Heng put away the letter and said, “There are high-level professionals causing trouble over in Lundham City, something Wen Mansha mentioned.”
“Didn’t you leave a high-level skeleton there? Is it even higher than that one?”
Lundham City wasn’t very much noticed before.
Based on the feeling of playing games in the past, it looked more like a city around a beginner’s village.
It’s a bit above Black Stone Town but falls far short of Gold and Silver Island.
A level 15 over there was a top-notch professional.
At that time, a level 15 Skull Crusher, a bandit leader from the Hammer Party, almost took over the entire city.
But now the taxes in the city have skyrocketed.
It has attracted the attention of high-level professionals.
“Maybe they want to take over!” Wu Heng said.
Mini looked over and asked, “Are you going back?”
“Yeah, I’ll go back and take a look. At the very least, I should install the radio for her, so she doesn’t always have to write letters.”
“That’s true, and you can keep Wen Mansha sister company when you’re there. She’s quite pitiable, being left all alone,” Mini said.
Wu Heng nodded, planning in his mind when to leave.
Gold and Silver Island had already stabilized and didn’t need much attention at the moment.
The main thing is to watch what’s happening in Zombie World.
There’s still no result with the Provincial Rescue Team.
The issues need to be resolved quickly, and then move on to Lundham City.
…
Afternoon.
He went straight to Zombie World.
More people had been summoned here, and the factory became bustling.
Wu Heng came down from upstairs.
Qi Hancai also hurried over from outside with a serious expression, “Could you come over for a moment.”
Seeing her look, he followed her to a spot behind the building.
In the middle of an open space, there lay a corpse.
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, “A dead body?”
Qi Hancai shook her head, “Not one of ours. It was discovered climbing the wall last night and killed by a skeleton.”
Not their own people.
And trying to climb over the wall to get in?
Wu Heng speculated, “The Provincial Rescue Team’s people?”
After all, their own people were here, and only the Rescue Team knew about it.
“It’s possible. He wasn’t wearing the Rescue Team’s uniform, but he was carrying a pistol, so it should be similar,” she said.
Wu Heng nodded and cast “Communicate with the Dead” directly at the corpse.
The corpse sat up from the ground, its murky eyes looking their way.
Wu Heng asked straightaway, “Which base are you from?”
The corpse answered, “Dongying Street, Little Rock City base.”
Little Rock City was where the Rescue Team’s base was built.
Some say Rescue Team base, others say Little Rock City base; just different names for the same place.
But it also confirmed their guess, it was indeed someone from the Provincial Rescue Team.
Wu Heng continued, “What were you doing here?”
The corpse replied, “Boss Huang gave us the task of gathering information about this place in exchange for food.”
Boss Huang!
Still not giving up, eh?
Wu Heng further asked, “What kind of information are you collecting?”
“The missing squad, the defense plans of the factory area, and what’s happening inside.”
The two exchanged looks.
Qi Hancai didn’t speak, but her face grew more solemn.
Gathering information on their defense plans made the intention quite clear.
Even if not planning to attack, they were preparing for the possibility.
Wu Heng gestured to Qi Hancai not to worry.
He continued to look at the corpse, “Is it just Boss Huang saying this, or has the entire Rescue Team agreed to investigate this place?”
“Only Boss Huang alone, doing it behind the backs of the other two powers of the Rescue Team.”
One last question.
“How many weapons and pieces of equipment does Boss Huang have?”
“Four armored vehicles, and a good amount of firearms. I’m not clear on the exact number,” the corpse replied.
Five questions answered.
The corpse lay back down on the ground.
It seemed that Boss Huang had already pinned this matter on his own head.
Whether they were truly missing, or died somewhere else.
None of that mattered anymore.
He had set his sights on this place.
