Chapter 533: Chapter 442, Pirates Gather

Wu Heng said, “Are you referring to, ‘guns that fly’?”

Qi Hancai nodded, “Is it convenient? If not, forget it.”

Wu Heng thought for a moment, waved his hand casually, and the mineral water bottle on the front of the car flew up into the air.

“Some simple abilities, it’s best you know about them and keep them to yourself. Don’t mention them to outsiders.”

It would be too complicated to explain Glenda’s situation to her, and she wouldn’t understand.

So, he simply used [Animate Object] to give her a brief explanation.

“I understand.” Qi Hancai’s eyes were already wide, and she nodded subconsciously.

This was another awakening of a new superpower.

Too terrifying.

He was practically a conglomerate of superpowers.

Soon, Wu Heng received a prompt from Xiao Xiao and immediately said, “Let’s get onto the overpass.”

Qi Hancai, still in shock, quickly came to her senses, started the car, and looked for the way onto the overpass.

Meanwhile, she was using the walkie-talkie to tell everyone else to come over as well.

They ascended the overpass.

The ground was covered with bodies.

Wu Heng got out of the car and said to Qi Hancai, “Go and bring our people up.”

“Okay!” Qi Hancai briskly walked over, grabbed a rope, and started pulling people up.

Wu Heng walked forward as Glenda’s voice arose beside his ear, “This ability is really quite useful.”

“Yes, the effect is even beyond my expectations,” Wu Heng agreed.

The manuscript had described the effect as allowing ghosts to wield swords and clash with the enemy.

But that involved swordsmanship.

The impact was minimal.

Now, the thought-driven shooting with guns was having a more significant effect and didn’t require much skill.

Wu Heng bent down and collected all the firearms and ammunition from several corpses.

He then chose a corpse and cast [Communicate with the Dead].

The fallen body suddenly sat up, its gaze turning towards him.

Wu Heng asked, “Go over your whole plan again.”

The corpse answered, “Exchange food with you, then kill you all to prevent retaliation.”

“Where did you get your guns from?”

The corpse replied, “Near the southern side, there’s a military area. We lured some zombies there, killed them, and got these guns.”

The southern military area?

That must be the military location that Qi Hancai had found out about.

Wu Heng continued, “What else do you know about that military area?”

“There are a lot of guns, and the yard is full of armored vehicles, tanks.”

Tanks as well.

Damn!

How could such things appear in a city?

“Are there many zombies?”

“A lot.”

“Are there any special zombies? I mean, like Mutated Zombies.”

“Didn’t see any.”

After the five questions were answered, the body lay back down again.

Wu Heng then turned to a second corpse and cast [Communicate with the Dead].

The corpse sat up once more.

Wu Heng asked, “Where is your shelter located?”

The corpse answered, “Cote Street, Brewery Shelter.”

“How many people are left in your shelter?”

“There are still over ten people.”

“Are there any Superpowered Men?”

“None.”

“Does everyone have guns?”

“We left two guns behind.”

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then continued, “Who are these people?”

“They are women under our control.”

After the fifth question, the body lay back down again.

At this moment, Qi Hancai also walked over from behind, glanced at the bodies, and said, “We’ve rescued everyone; none are dead, but they will definitely catch severe colds when we get back.”

“Being alive is stronger than anything else. Everyone should be more careful in the future.”

“I will definitely pay more attention from now on,” Qi Hancai said earnestly.

Wu Heng continued, “Have you heard of the Brewery Shelter?”

Qi Hancai’s eyes flickered with surprise, “I know of it. They had come to our place a few days ago to exchange for some food. Does this mean this incident is related to them?”

“Yes, these people are from the Brewery Shelter.”

“These shameless bastards. They were able to come out and exchange food because we had cleared the nearby zombies. Now, they’ve turned around and bitten us.” Qi Hancai cursed angrily.

Whether it was exchanging food with them or clearing the surrounding zombies…

Even though it was mainly for their own path clearing, they indirectly helped the shelter.

Now, to turn around and capture their own people, even demanding food in ransom…

It felt like being bitten by a dog after feeding it.

“When the army arrives, let’s level their shelter,” Qi Hancai said angrily.

“There are still some controlled women there; let’s see the situation when the time comes.”

“Okay!”

Before long, the rest of the convoy caught up.

Qi Hancai told people to check the vehicles left by these men.

Wu Heng, meanwhile, unleashed [Corpse Battlefield], turning the corpses littering the ground into skeletons.

Once everything was over, the army headed straight to the Brewery Shelter.

…

Outside the Brewery Shelter.

As the Skeleton Army approached majestically.

From inside the gate, two people walked out, a man and a woman.

They came out with their arms raised high.

Qi Hancai suppressed the rage in his heart, “Not going to resist at all?”

The man answered, “We don’t have the power to resist, there are only women left inside, please don’t kill us.”

Qi Hancai glanced at the yard.

He continued, “Let everyone come out, and bring out all the weapons and firearms. Anyone who dares to hide anything, you will all be implicated.”

“Okay, I’ll go and inform them.” The woman who came out went back to inform the others.

A large group of women came out from inside.

Among the items thrown aside were not only knives but also two guns.

“Enter the yard!” Qi Hancai ordered.

The convoy and the Skeleton Army entered the yard, and the gates were all closed.

Qi Hancai officially took over this factory area.

Wu Heng then began arranging the Skeletons to set up defenses around the factory.

Before long, Qi Hancai came back.

“No problems here. The fact that there are so many people here is because the Brewery originally had a storage for food and brewing, and the others are also willing to cooperate. I plan to observe them for a while.”

“Hmm, you’ll be in charge here. Ask around for more intelligence from the military base, next time we’ll clean up that place,” Wu Heng said.

“Okay.” Qi Hancai answered, continuing, “The room over there used to belong to their leader. I’ve had it cleaned up for you; I’ll stay in the room next to yours.”

Wu Heng nodded and went straight into the room.

He opened the boundary door and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

…

Back on Gold and Silver Island.

Wu Heng first visited the Alchemy Laboratory.

He collected several bottles of the finished elixirs, then headed downstairs.

Today, Shanaela didn’t come; the two maids were chatting in the living room.

They had dinner together.

Wu Heng distributed the corpse core potions to the two women to strengthen their attributes.

After taking the potions.

They did their daily training.

Then, Wu Heng went to the bath with his daughter.

In the bath, one maid on each side, they lay on his chest.

Wu Heng patted the little fox’s upturned buttocks and asked, “Everything’s okay on Millicent’s end, right?”

“Nothing’s wrong. The tavern has reopened, and there haven’t been any rumors going around,” Andre Willow said, twisting slightly.

“Good, as long as there’s no problem.”

Mini, on the other side, gently licked his chest and said, “Master, I have some intelligence.”

“Mini, what intelligence?” Wu Heng looked at her.

Mini spoke, “The number of Guard Team members has increased, and now a lot of people are patrolling, there are several more squads.”

Andre Willow also added, “The port has been taken over by the Guard Team, and the gangs that were planning to divide the port’s business even gathered people to protest about this.”

These two pieces of intelligence slightly startled Wu Heng.

Initially, the Guard Team was increased to catch pirates at sea.

Now, a larger part is being used on the island.

Mini continued, “As long as they don’t bother us, it’s fine.”

Andre Willow agreed, “Yeah, it feels safer than Lundham City.”

“Hmm!”

Wu Heng stayed silent, lost in thought for a while.

After soaking for a while.

They went back to rest in the room together.

…

The next day, at sea.

The Iron Barrel Pirate Group’s ships followed closely behind the ‘Mad Lion Pirate Group’.

Philippa stood on the deck, shook her expensive red headscarf, and put it back on, followed by her captain’s hat.

At that moment, a sailor on the lookout tower shouted, “Captain, the Mad Lion Pirate Group is signaling us with flags to slow down and keep following.”

Philippa looked into the distance, where faint dots were beginning to appear on the sea’s surface.

“Follow them, and everyone be careful. If the other side makes any dangerous moves, we’ll turn around immediately,” Philippa said loudly.

It had not been easy to establish a connection with a big pirate group like the Mad Lions.

But safety was also a priority.

Not to mention her own identity, pirate betrayals were not uncommon.

It would improve chances of escape should there be any trouble.

At the same time, she felt a hint of excitement.

If she couldn’t get any news about the Pirate King, passing on the intelligence about the Mad Lion Pirate Group would be a considerable accomplishment.

Then, she could maybe get Wu Heng to compensate her with one of those iron pipe weapons.

With such a weapon at sea, she could blast any dissidents to shreds.

However, as they drew closer.

Philippa’s expression turned more serious.

The myriad of ships densely packed in the distance came into view.

The Emerald Sea’s pirates, big and small, had all gathered here.

Why had they all come?

Suddenly, an uneasy feeling welled up in her heart.
