The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 752

Chapter 752: Chapter 607, Bombing Chapter 752: Chapter 607, Bombing Ghosts hovered in midair.

Xiao Xiao eagerly said, “Uncle, none of those people could guess who the murderer was, and they were all throwing a tantrum in the tavern!”

“If they had guessed it, the protagonist in the book wouldn’t seem so impressive,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

“Right! If everyone could guess who the murderer was, then everyone would be the Great Detective,” Xiao Xiao agreed, nodding.

On the other side, Glenda said, “I went to the city hall to check on the book sales, and there’s already a long line. Given this popularity, the books printed in three days will sell out.”

“I’ll ask to increase the printing. The more we sell, the better for us,” Wu Heng said, then asked, “What’s the plan for the next part of the story?”

Glenda immediately responded, “Continue serializing it in the newspaper, and once one story arc is complete, we can bind it into a volume for sale, creating a delay between releases.”

“Okay, let’s schedule it as you suggested!” Wu Heng nodded in agreement.

“Then I’ll go upstairs and continue revising the draft,” Glenda said.

Wu Heng nodded.

Glenda flew straight to the fourth floor, and Xiao Xiao and Bella also left.

Then, Wu Heng opened the panel and checked his reputation.

Although unveiling the murderer had gained a lot of attention, there wasn’t much increase in reputation.

It also meant that it was becoming harder to gain the same exaggerated increase on the island as at the beginning.

The effectiveness of the first volume of the books would now be evident.

During the newspaper phase, there were merchants transporting and selling outside. Now that it’s being bound into volumes, it should have some effect.

It’s all about how well the books do now.

Wu Heng sat in the stone pavilion to rest for a while before getting up and opening “Mansion Skill.”

He continued to assemble the parts for the Electromagnetic Cannon according to the blueprint.

The giant stone door behind him, one by one, the created parts were assembled like Lego.

It wasn’t tedious at all.

…

Afternoon.

Andre Willow came back from outside, and Shanaela came over to freeload a meal.

They sat together at the dining table, eating and chatting.

Andre Willow said, “Master, the books at the city hall are selling fast. Some merchants have signed purchase agreements with the city hall, totaling 50,000 copies.”

The book sales were good as Glenda had previously mentioned.

But it seemed that the merchants had also started placing orders.

The Great Detective books weren’t very expensive.

Additionally, with modern full-color covers and side-sealed compression instead of thread binding,
they were considered deluxe editions in this world.

It was no surprise they were selling well.

Wu Heng nodded, “That’s good news. I’ll have the printing press increase production soon to complete these orders.”

Having finished talking about the city hall, Shanaela picked up a napkin, lightly dabbed her lips, and said, “I’ve informed the representatives of the merchants about the trade fair; they all expressed a willingness to participate and would apply at the city hall.”

“Wei’er, arrange for someone to meet these people and record the goods they plan to exhibit,” Wu Heng directed Andre Willow.

“Okay, Master,” Andre Willow nodded again.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then continued, “Wei’er, have the dwarf designer come over tomorrow, accompany Shanaela to pick a venue for the fair.”

Shanaela widened her eyes, a bit surprised, “I’m carrying the title of Starflower President on me; it’s not convenient for me to handle so much.”

“Mini, you go with her, just consider it accompanying her to check the place, helping other merchants’ representatives evaluate the venue,” Wu Heng found an excuse and added, “You’ve seen the world and know about art, you can help with suggestions on the decor.”

After being praised several times,
Shanaela agreed, “Then I’ll go and take a look.”

“Good!”

After chatting for a while, they finished dinner.

The maid and Shanaela headed towards the backyard to deal with the seedlings.

Wu Heng then continued in the front yard, assembling parts in Mansion Skill.

As dusk fell, insects started chirping around him.

Only then did Wu Heng pack up the blueprints and return to the bedroom.

Shanaela lay on her side in bed, reading a newly released novel.

Wu Heng wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, “Rest now, get up early tomorrow.”

Shanaela nodded and closed the book.

After turning off the light, she curled up in his arms and closed her eyes.

…
The next day, in the early morning.

After breakfast.

The women of the Island Lord’s Mansion headed out together towards the city hall.

According to the plan.

Shanaela, Mini, Annette, and Robey would meet with a Dwarves designer at the city hall and together choose a venue for the exhibition.

Mini, as the steward of the Island Lord’s Mansion, while Shanaela accompanied her.

As for Annette and Robey.

Having nothing to do at home, Wu Heng had them join the group as well.

The women took several horse-drawn carriages and left under the escort of skeletons.

Wu Heng also quickly packed his gear and headed toward Zombie World.

…
Zombie World.

Swarms of zombies crowded together, sweeping in like a tidal wave.

They immediately crashed into the formation made up of skeletons.

Chaotic fighting noises blended together.

Strands of Remnant Souls rose up.

Bella charged out, entwining and devouring the unconscious Remnant Souls.

Experience points also began to rapidly increase.

[Ghost leveled up to 14…]
[Ghost leveled up to 15…]
Suddenly, they had reached level 15.

Czzzz~!

A faint sound of electricity came about, as Qi Hancai’s voice transmitted through a walkie-talkie.

“Boss, there has been a problem at Bai Qing’s side; I need to report it to you.”

Wu Heng glanced at the battlefield situation and pressed the walkie-talkie, “Wait ten minutes.”

“Okay!”

Wu Heng issued a direct order, “Make the skeletons advance, end the battle quickly.”

Crash~!

The waiting Skull Team immediately rose and began to move.

They pushed forward along the road, eliminating the remaining zombies.

Before long, as Bella finished devouring the Remnant Souls and the skeletons were nearly at the end of their advance,
Wu Heng signaled for the three ghosts to hide completely.

Then took out his walkie-talkie and said, “Qi Hancai, come over!”

Soon, Qi Hancai passed through the skeleton team and approached from behind.

Without waiting to be questioned, he spoke first.

“At Seaside City, on the way to the port, they were ambushed by a group occupying the port. After the skeletons were attacked, they started to counterattack, and the assailants fled to the sea on their fleet.”

Ambushed? By survivors?

“Were there any losses?” asked Wu Heng.

“According to Bai Qing, there were some losses among the skeleton troops, but not many. The survivors’ logistics team had a few trucks damaged. They are now repairing them after taking over the port,” Qi Hancai said, thinking aloud.

Relieved there were no significant casualties, Wu Heng relaxed slightly.

“Explain in detail what happened?”

Qi Hancai stood still, gathering his thoughts before continuing, “According to Bai Qing, there was an explosion on their way to the port, targeting to blow up the convoy. However, the explosion occurred prematurely, before the convoy got close. Right after, the survivors were discovered, and the skeleton troops started to counterattack, with the assailants fleeing the port by boat.”
