The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 743

Chapter 743: Chapter 601, Someone is Looking Chapter 743: Chapter 601, Someone is Looking Qi Hancai introduced the Russians and then gestured toward the bespectacled young man.

“Liu Yuming, one of our base members, currently in charge of translation.”

Liu Yuming stood up and bowed, saying, “Leader!”

“Mm,” Wu Heng nodded.

Qi Hancai explained, “Kadrof understands some Chinese, but sometimes he still needs translations.”

The big-bearded foreigner also stood up and spoke in halting Chinese, “Thank you, Leader Wu for saving us. I visited your country five years ago and liked it here very much.”

“Please, sit down!” Wu Heng sat down beside him and continued, “Welcome to our team.”

“Thank you!” Kadrof expressed his thanks.

Wu Heng then asked, “How many people are in your group?”

Kadrof replied, “Six, all members of our research institute.”

Normally, a refuge would have about this many people; too many would be a burden, too few would make it hard to sustain.

“I heard you were researching the electromagnetic cannon. How is that going, can it be used normally?” Wu Heng looked at him.

Kadrof appeared puzzled and glanced at Liu Mingyu for interpretation.

Liu Mingyu translated.

Kadrof responded in Russian.

Liu Mingyu turned back and translated, “He said it has a range of 150 kilometers and can penetrate 5 meters of concrete.”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Qi Hancai and Gao Rong also showed shock in their expression.

150 kilometers, penetrating 5 meters of concrete.

That could even break through buildings.

Moreover, the range of a machine cannon is only within two kilometers.

Compared to that, the range and power of the electromagnetic cannon are somewhat exaggerated.

No wonder before the End of the World.

All nations were competing to develop such weapons.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “So, can it be used normally now?”

Kadrof spoke in Russian, Liu Mingyu translated, “What they developed is a rail gun, it can be fired in experiments, but it needs large-scale equipment to support and also a large electricity load. Even in modern society, it could not be put to use, now it would be even harder.”

“What about the blueprints?” Wu Heng continued.

“All blueprints were brought over, and digital backups were made,” Qi Hancai replied.

Having blueprints could allow the Mechanist to research further.

“Besides the electromagnetic cannon, what else do you specialize in?”

Kadrof answered himself, “Research design related to electrical equipment, and we are also quite proficient with weapons.”

Wu Heng pondered for a while.

The usability of the electromagnetic cannon was uncertain.

Later, after moving the lab over, he would see.

They could initially assign them some other work.

“Qi Hancai, see what areas they might help with, and temporarily assign them some work.”

“Alright!” Qi Hancai nodded.

Liu Mingyu quietly translated for Kadrof on the side.

Kadrof slowly exhaled; staying here was better than anything else.

…

After discussing the matters concerning the foreigners.

Wu Heng continued to look towards Qi Hancai and Gao Rong.

“Any progress on your side?”

Qi Hancai said, “No major events, the two skeleton armies are still clearing zombies along the railroad, and the next city for Bai Qing is ‘Seaside City’.”

Seaside City is near the coast.

Wu Heng immediately said, “Let them keep an eye out for shipyards or vessels.”

“Okay, I’ll notify them right away,” Qi Hancai didn’t ask further, just nodded and agreed.

Gao Rong organized some papers and said, “The machinery for rifle production has entered the final stage of production adjustments; if no problems arise, it can start regular production.

The printing press for newspapers also started reassembling its mechanical parts and will be experimentally operational soon.”

Tiancheng Group gave Wu Heng some good news.

Bullets could be produced here.

If rifles could also be produced, they could extensively train skeletons proficient in shooting and form a modernized skeleton army.

The newspaper printing press was intended for setting up newspapers everywhere.

Although there wasn’t any definitive progress yet.

The printing press still needed to be made ahead of time.

“Good job, let Qi Hancai know what you need and complete the experimentation as soon as possible.”

“Understood.” Gao Rong nodded, then said, “I have no other matters.”

“Then, that’s it for now, Qi Hancai, come with me to get the blueprints. Everyone else, go take care of your own tasks!” Wu Heng said.

All present stood and left the meeting room.

…

Wu Heng followed Qi Hancai to the data room.

Two large boxes of blueprints were placed before them.

“They’re all here, already backed up. If needed, we can print more,” Qi Hancai glanced at the machine beside him.

“I’ll look at the blueprints first, and we can discuss the rest later,” Wu Heng said as he stored the blueprints in the Space Ring.

The door to the data room was shut again.

As the two walked out, Qi Hancai said, “Sister Yahong, knowing there’s a Beast Taming Shop, she might come to ask you for it in the next couple of days.”

“I’ve prepared for that as well,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

It’s convenient to buy directly from the Beast Taming Shop on Gold and Silver Island.

“To prevent her from getting jealous and saying you play favorites,” Qi Hancai smiled.

“How could I? Both the palm and back of the hand are flesh.”

“It sounds like we’re both children,” we joked.

The two of them chatted casually as they walked outside.

…

After getting the blueprints.

Wu Heng went back to his dormitory to wait for Xiao Xiao to return.

The original plan was to level up Bella in these two days.

But an 18th-level Mage had arrived at Gold and Silver Island.

That still needed some attention.

He released Glenda and Bella.

Letting the two Ghosts wander around while Glenda gave Bella a brief introduction to this world.

When she found out Wu Heng was from another world,
Bella’s entire Soul was filled with surprise.

Wu Heng, sitting in a chair, was just about to take out the blueprints to pass the time when.

A system prompt suddenly appeared in his ear,
[Level up to 19th, Constitution +2, Intelligence +4, Perception +2, Charm +2.]
He had leveled up.

A delight filled Wu Heng’s heart.

It appears the Skeleton Team had clashed with the Zombies again while advancing.

The feeling of leveling up while sitting at home was quite nice, actually.

Wu Heng immediately opened his panel to check the requirements for this level-up,
[Name: Wu Heng]
[Level: 19th (1452/355000)]
[Fame: 19th (721/66000)]
[Attributes: Strength 48, Agility 35, Constitution 55, Intelligence 54, Perception 33, Charm 34.]
The experience needed after reaching level 19 had reached 355,000.

An exaggerated number.

But from his job change to now, it hadn’t taken a long time.

The leveling speed was faster than traditional professionals in the Otherworld; the Zombies were enough to boost him to level 20, making him a hero.

This eased the pressure in his mind.

Fame had increased from 58,000 to 66,000.

Fame, indeed, was more troublesome than experience.

The fame collection on Gold and Silver Island definitely wouldn’t be enough for him to reach level 20.

Expansion was still necessary.

Gao Rong’s printing press had started producing parts, almost nearing the finished product.

It was time to prepare for establishing newspapers in various locations.

…

As he pondered these thoughts,
Xiao Xiao flew back through the walls, her tone resigned, “Ah! My mom is so clueless.”

“What kind of way is that to talk!” Wu Heng said, not pleasantly.

“Really! Whenever she looks at a Skill Book, she always asks me why this, why that. I don’t understand all this; I just tell her this is how you train,” Xiao Xiao immediately replied.

“It’s normal not to understand when she’s just started,” he replied.

“She didn’t learn anything even after reading it once. Uncle, you learn it all after reading once,”
Wu Heng paused, somewhat at a loss for words on how to explain this.

After a moment of thought, he explained, “I’ve leveled up, so my understanding of knowledge has improved, as well. It’ll get better when your mom levels up.”

Xiao Xiao thought that seemed reasonable, “Okay then.”

“Go and call Glenda and the others back, let’s head back,” Wu Heng pointed towards the window.

Xiao Xiao flew out and quickly returned with Glenda and Bella,
And together they entered his body.

Wu Heng opened the boundary door and returned to the Zombie World.

…

Back at the Island Lord’s Mansion, appearing in the study,
Wu Heng walked downstairs,
Hearing the voices of the maids talking downstairs.

Turning to see Wu Heng coming down,
Annette and Robey saluted, while Mini approached and said, “Master, during the morning, Steward Xi Ligui sent someone over saying that someone from the main branch of the association has arrived, asking you to come over.”
