Chapter 109: Point Out the Location for Me
The armor was delivered to the residence.
Wu Heng casually directed the skeletons to bring out bags of silver coins from a room and handed them to the orc shopkeeper.
The orc shopkeeper was extremely pleased.
After receiving the silver coins, he immediately said, "Captain, if you need more armor in the future, just have Duke notify me, and I'll arrange for it to be delivered directly to you."
"If the price can be a bit lower, I think we'll have more opportunities to work together in the future."
Even though he could afford it.
He had nearly spent all of Yazde's savings, along with what Barson and the others had saved in the Serpent Crest Consortium.
If he wanted to buy more, he'd have to dip into the gold reserves at the gold shop.
So, he wanted to try and negotiate the price down a bit.
The orc shopkeeper looked troubled and said, "Captain, the price I gave you is already quite low. If you buy again, I can give you a further discount."
"Alright!" Wu Heng nodded.
"Okay, I'll take my leave then." The orc shopkeeper, along with the delivery crew, turned and left.
Wu Heng glanced at Duke, who was helping with the delivery, and said, "Duke, if there's nothing else, you can head home."
"Alright, see you, Captain." Duke caught up with the armor shop crew and left together.
The residence was being cleaned and wallpapered, so Wu Heng had Sword One and Sword Two keep an eye on the armor. Then, he leisurely returned to the guild's lounge.
...
Sitting in the lounge for a while.
He asked the staff to bring him some paper and envelopes, intending to write letters to his friends in this world.
Now that he had arrived and things were going smoothly, it was time to write a letter to keep in touch.
First was Yuli.
They had been teammates for the shortest time, but their relationship was the best.
Although it was obvious she wanted to trick him out of snacks, he had also gotten a lot of intel from her.
Plus, the girl was cute and not very bright.
A good friend to have.
After thinking for a bit, he wrote:
[I've arrived in Rentam City and started my job as a captain.]
[Leaving the border of the Ecoth Kingdom wasn't easy. Along the way, I encountered a temple where scantily-clad nuns tried to seduce me. Fortunately, my integrity allowed me to see through their deception...]
[Everything is fine here, but I do miss our time together. If you have time, come visit. I'll treat you to some good food and show you around.]
In an era where communication was mostly by phone, few people still used letters.
This was Wu Heng's first time writing one.
He wanted to write a lot, but once he started, he didn't know what else to say.
The handwriting was a bit messy, but he hoped Yuli could understand it.
The second and third letters were for Captain Otruluk and Kavina.
He mainly wrote about how things were going, reassuring them that everything was fine.
He mentioned that if they had the chance, they should come visit, or he would return to see them.
After finishing the three letters, he sealed them in envelopes and handed them to the guild's front desk.
The guild had a department dedicated to delivering letters for members, as many were sent out on assignments and needed to stay in touch with their families.
Once the letters were handed over, they would be sent to the appropriate guilds.
And with the trains, it wouldn't be too slow.
After writing the letters, Wu Heng stayed at the guild until dusk.
He left with the other staff members when it was time to go home.
...
Back at his residence.
The renovation team was just about to leave.
The foreman accompanied Wu Heng on a walk through the house.
The wallpaper was almost done, and one floor had been laid with planks.
The overall impression was pretty good.
"Everything's going smoothly. We'll finish laying the floor tomorrow, and the final touches will be done on the last day," the foreman said.
Wu Heng didn't mind much, as his requirements weren't that high.
"Alright, thanks for your hard work."
"It wasn't hard at all. We'll head back now."
"Okay, you can go."
The workers left, and Wu Heng had Sword One move the armor into the building.
After closing the door, he opened the portal.
He called over the skeletons and had them move the armor to the other world.
...
In the zombie world.
Over a hundred sets of armor may not sound like much.
But it still covered a large area of empty ground.
Wu Heng called Big Head Skeleton over and gave a direct order: "Have the Level 5 and above skeleton warriors come over and equip the leather armor."
Clatter~!
The skeletons training with spears nearby began to gather.
They bent down to pick up the leather armor on the ground and started putting it on.
Big Head Skeleton, who led the zombies on hunts, had not only gained experience for Wu Heng but also leveled up the skeletons.
The number of Level 5 skeletons had already reached nearly two hundred.
They had moved past the initial phase where skeletons kept dying and had entered a stage of continuous leveling up.
After a while, all the skeletons were fully equipped with leather armor.
Brown leather armor, leather helmets, leather armguards, and boots.
Their entire bodies were covered in leather armor, with only their skeletal faces and the eerie blue flames in their eye sockets visible.
Holding spears, they stood neatly in front of Wu Heng, looking more like soldiers of the underworld.
At this moment, the three-meter-tall 'Big Guy' also walked over.
Wu Heng said directly, "Put on this armor."
Big Guy picked up the metal armor, tapped it with his hand, and then began to put it on.
With nothing but bones left on his body, it was easy to wear.
He put it on without a hitch.
Then, he put on the helmet, gloves, and iron boots one by one.
Dressed in iron armor, he looked even more fierce.
Once all the soldiers were fully equipped.
Wu Heng had all the skeletons return to their tasks.
He then left the district and, at the crossroads, turned on his walkie-talkie to contact Li Yanhong.
Before long, Li Yanhong came running over.
She seemed to have just finished eating, still chewing something.
"Any news from the prison?" Wu Heng asked.
"We mentioned on the radio about the prison tricking people into going there, but they denied it," Li Yanhong sighed, "It's hard to say how many people believed us, probably not many."
"Alright, keep an eye out for any news about mutated zombies."
"Will do!"
On the roof of the repair shop.
Qiangzi, watching the distant street, suddenly stood up.
He turned around and shouted, "Damn! Come and see, those skeleton soldiers have evolved—they're wearing armor now."
...
Southern City Prison.
"Damn it, those bitches dare to mess with me here. Damn it, those bitches!" Chen Jinlong cursed through gritted teeth.
Today, the repair shop started broadcasting on the radio, talking about the prison.
They revealed everything about how the prison was tricking survivors.
Of course, the prison denied it.
But the details given were incredibly accurate, including Chen Jinlong's identity as a felon, how many men he had, and how many guns they possessed.
The more detailed the explanation, the harder it was for the prison to deny.
They were left speechless for a long time.
Chen Jinlong and the others were so angry they were slapping their thighs.
"Those bitches, I'll kill them sooner or later."
"Do you know where they are? Even if there are zombies, we'll go after them."
The men kept cursing.
Just then.
The door behind them opened again.
A man holding a rifle walked in, dragging another person with him.
He said directly, "Brother Long, this guy came in today. He says he knows the location of the repair shop."
Chen Jinlong narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold as he looked at the man being dragged in, "Where are you from?"
"From the north, the Workers' Stadium."
"You know the location of Xiaodong's Repair Shop?"
The man trembled, stuttering as he spoke.
"I know the general location. Their shelter isn't far from ours."
Chen Jinlong grabbed him, slammed a map on the table, and said, "Show me where."
