Chapter 197, waiting to return to the prison.

Chapter 197, waiting to return to the prison.

"These damn bandits." The swordsman 'Gaulbury' said angrily.

The rest of the group also cursed a few times.

But no matter how much they cursed on the city wall, there was nothing they could do about the situation outside the city.

Soon, many corpses were already lying on the ground in the distance.

Those holding torches began to loot the place, carrying various spoils, and quickly disappeared from sight.

Everything returned to darkness.

Only by listening closely could one hear the painful groans in the night.

After those people left, another group holding torches quickly arrived.

Some began to treat the wounded, while others took the opportunity to take some things.

It was a chaotic scene.

On the city wall, some of the Iron Guard Knights and gang members remained behind while the rest descended from the wall.

"Captain, they're all gone. What should we do?" Duke asked.

Wu Heng glanced around and said, "Let's find a place to rest for a while. The sun will rise soon, and there won't be much happening today."

"Oh, let's go to my place!" Duke suggested.

"It's too far. Let's just rest by the corner of the wall for a bit. Take turns keeping watch, don't all fall asleep." Wu Heng instructed.

"Alright."

They found a spot by the wall, quickly tidied it up, and took turns standing guard before closing their eyes to rest.

Nothing happened until dawn.

Wu Heng climbed up the city wall and took a look into the distance.

The members of the other squads began to withdraw.

Wu Heng waved and said, "Let's go, shift's over, everyone head home. We don't need to patrol during the day, gather in the rest room tonight."

"Got it, Captain."

The group dispersed, yawning as they headed home.

...

Wu Heng returned from the outer district.

Opening the door, a fragrant smell of food wafted from the living room.

Minnie said, "Master, you must be tired. Breakfast is ready."

Wu Heng nodded, washed his hands, and sat at the dining table to start eating breakfast.

Andviel served him a bowl of soup, placed it on the table, and asked softly, "Master, nothing happened last night, right?"

"There was a battle outside the city, quite a few people died."

"The Warhammer Party?" Andviel asked.

"Probably not. It looked more like gangs taking the chance to seek revenge or loot, but I can't be sure." Wu Heng said while eating.

Andviel's expression showed a hint of worry.

"Then later, Minnie and I will go buy the people back, just in case something happens."

Wu Heng nodded and handed her the captain's badge of the guild, "Take my badge with you when you go out. If anything happens, just say it's from the guild."

"Thank you, Master."

After breakfast, the two tidied up briefly and left the house.

Wu Heng went back to the bedroom and slept until noon.

After freshening up, he opened the portal and went to the zombie world.

...

He pulled open the curtains of the hotel.

He saw the convoy already parked outside.

Wang Chengang and a few others were gathered, smoking and chatting.

At that moment, Li Yanhong brought Barson over, seemingly giving tasks to the group.

Wang Chengang and Qiangzi nodded to show their understanding and walked towards a nearby building.

Soon, they came out again, starting to load supplies into the trucks.

Wu Heng pressed the intercom button and said, "Li Yanhong, come up here for a moment."

Hearing the voice from the intercom, Li Yanhong immediately looked up. When she saw Wu Heng at the window, a joyful smile appeared on her face.

She quickly restrained her smile, calmed herself, and replied over the intercom, "Okay, I'll come right now."

She then entered the hotel lobby.

Wu Heng came down from upstairs, and Li Yanhong ran straight into his arms.

Li Yanhong looked up, her eyes full of affection, "I missed you so much!"

Wu Heng lowered his head, and the two embraced in a kiss.

Subconsciously, he reached out, unzipped her stab-proof vest, and gently started to rub inside.

Li Yanhong's physique was quite athletic.

After all, she had done a lot of manual labor before, so her body had distinct muscles and abs.

Her small buns were a bit bigger than Minnie's.

Full of elasticity.

Li Yanhong's skin turned redder, and her breathing became more rapid.

Wu Heng picked her up and carried her to the room upstairs.

"Now?" Li Yanhong's eyes were a bit evasive.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yanhong hesitated and whispered, "I'm willing to give myself to you, but aren't we supposed to handle business soon? This... this doesn't seem right."

Judging by her awkwardness, she must be a virgin.

Rushing it like this did feel a bit improper.

He squeezed her firm rear and said, "You decide when, I'm listening to you."

"When we get back to the prison. We'll have plenty of time then." Li Yanhong's slightly tanned skin had turned red.

"So, I have to wait that long?"

Li Yanhong rolled her eyes at him and complained, "You're so strange. Before, when I gave you hints, you didn't respond at all. I thought you liked men... Now you're in such a rush... mmph."

Wu Heng pressed her against the wall again, forcefully sealing her lips with his.

Li Yanhong wrapped her arms around his shoulders, passionately responding to his advances.

After a long while.

The two separated again.

Li Yanhong grabbed his hand, which was still on her rear, her face flushed, "Enough, we have plenty of time for that later."

Wu Heng nodded, "Let's take care of business first."

He pulled out a map and opened it, "I cleared these spots yesterday. Have Qiangzi and the others go there and transport the supplies."

"Okay!" Li Yanhong nodded and continued, "What's the plan for today?"

"We need to clear out these areas today." Wu Heng said.

The red circles around the hotel had already been cleared once.

There were still a few spots further out, and driving back and forth wouldn't be convenient.

Wu Heng selected a few unmarked locations, which indicated that the person marking the map hadn't been there yet.

The main goal wasn't to kill mutated zombies, but to grind monsters for level-ups.

After all, the threat of the Warhammer Party was growing, and leveling up was important for self-preservation.

Li Yanhong looked at the map, frowning slightly, "You plan to clear that many? Is there a need to rush?"

"A bit, we need to progress as much as possible so we can get back to the prison quickly."

"You're really something!" Li Yanhong lightly hit him and quietly said, "I'll follow your lead."

Wu Heng gave her firm rear a light pat and said, "Alright, let's go!"

"Don't pat my butt in public! I'm a big sister now!" Li Yanhong rubbed her rear.

"Fine, I'll only pat it when no one's around!"

Li Yanhong, blushing, began to fix her clothes.

She checked herself in the mirror to make sure her face was only red and nothing else was out of place.

Only then did the two leave the hotel.

Li Yanhong went to tell Qiangzi and the others.

Then she followed Wu Heng, heading in one direction.

...

East Gate Bus Station.

A dense horde of zombies started to launch an attack.

The Withered Plant Monster's [Entangling Vegetation] formed a bramble field on the ground, slowing the advance of the zombie horde.

At the same time, a rain of spears fell repeatedly from above.

Zombies fell to the ground in waves.

"Attack, kill them all!" Wu Heng ordered.

Clang~!

The skeleton army charged directly, crashing into the zombie horde and engaging in battle.

Immediately afterward, several skeletons transformed from mutated zombies also charged forward.

A large number of zombies were sent flying.

Smashed into meat paste.

Li Yanhong glanced curiously at the figure beside her.

Although she had never commanded skeletons in battle.

The way the skeletons fought was completely different from before.

They no longer focused on defense before counterattacking.

After throwing all their spears, the skeleton soldiers charged directly.

They were much more aggressive.

Soon, the battle ended.

Wu Heng had the skeletons clean up the battlefield and also used [Battlefield of the Dead] to summon more skeletons as long as his mental energy allowed.

"Those buses over there can still be used, and there should be keys inside." Li Yanhong said as she looked at the row of buses in the distance.

There were more than a dozen buses parked at the bus station.

Typically, the keys for public buses are kept in nearby buildings for centralized management.

Once we find them, they can still be used.

Wu Heng glanced at the nearby building and said, "Let Qiangzi and the others deal with it later. Let's head to the next location first."

"Oh, okay!" Li Yanhong didn't say much more.

They both proceeded to the next location.

...

It was past 4 p.m.

Wu Heng and Li Yanhong finished their task of killing zombies for the day.

The skeleton troops kept shuttling back and forth, transporting bodies, while Li Yanhong took Qiangzi and a few others to the bus station to start the buses.

Wu Heng stood at the door and checked his experience points.

[Level: 8 (25882/48000)]

The past two days of battles had been quite effective.

He had just leveled up to 8 yesterday, and now his experience was already halfway.

The city's population was still dense, and everywhere he went, there was a swarm of zombies.

Now, they had become his leveling experience.

Soon, several buses were driven back.

They were parked along the main road.

Li Yanhong ran over and said, "We don't have enough manpower today, so we'll have to move these buses next time."

"Hmm, it's fine to leave them there, no one's going to steal them."

"Who would dare steal them?" Li Yanhong cautiously glanced behind her. Qiangzi and the others were boarding the truck. She whispered, "I'm heading back now, be quick when you return."

"Go ahead, stay safe."

"Alright!" Li Yanhong waved and boarded the bus, leading the convoy away.

Wu Heng then approached the corpses and continued to use [Battlefield of the Dead] until his mental energy was nearly depleted.

Only then did he return to the hotel and open the portal.

...

After resting for a while on the third floor.

The sound of a door opening came from downstairs.

Walking down, Wu Heng saw Minnie and Andviel carrying some things back.

Seeing Wu Heng come down, they both greeted him, "Master."

"Hmm, how did things go?" Wu Heng asked.

Andviel bowed again and gratefully said, "Thank you, Master. I've already bought back my kin and settled them in the shop."

After a brief pause, she continued, "I've instructed them to take care of the shop from now on. They won't cause any trouble for you."

"Minnie, how about you?"

"I also rescued my friends. Master, can they become maids too?"

"Why do you insist on making them maids?"

Minnie fidgeted, "They don't have any professions, and they're clumsy at everything. Aside from being maids, they can't really do anything else."

Wu Heng and Andviel were both a bit speechless.

Why does she think maids can be clumsy?

Wu Heng glanced at Andviel, who lowered her head, stifling a laugh.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "We only have so much space here; we don't need that many maids."

"This place doesn't need so many maids," Wu Heng said as he sat down on the couch.

For daily living, one maid is more than enough.

Andviel's role was actually more necessary for managing the shop.

Really, hiring two more maids for this small place would be unnecessary.

Seeing Minnie's dejected expression from being refused.

Wu Heng added, "Let them help out at the shop for now. When we have a bigger house, they can come over."

"Okay!"

The three sat in the living room, chatting for a while.

Minnie went to prepare dinner.

After dinner, Wu Heng said goodbye to the two of them.

He left the house and headed to the guild.

...

The squad arrived at the rest room.

Opening the door, a few members were sitting inside, chatting.

"Captain!" They stood up and saluted.

Wu Heng nodded, glanced at the blankets they had, and said, "I'll put those blankets away for you. If someone sees them, they'll think we're slacking off!"

Hehe~!

Duke scratched his head and smiled.

The others also handed their blankets over.

Wu Heng stored them in his spatial ring and said, "Alright, let's not be late. Don't give people any reason to criticize us."

The group nodded and followed him out of the guild.

Walking along the road.

Duke quickened his pace to catch up with Wu Heng and said, "Captain, a lot of people died in the outer district last night. I heard one of the gang leaders even got his head chopped off."

"The Warhammer Party?"

"Not sure. No one's really investigating," Duke whispered. "At this point, who would look into such things? If they're dead, they're dead. The gang members have either scattered or been absorbed by other gangs."
