Will you pardon her too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other woman was the ex-captain’s lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng had seen her in the cell before, with fairly white skin, a plump and rounded woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardly anyone you would imagine living life aboard a ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you do your job well, I can assure her safety,” Wu Heng promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And her life? How will she survive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of life do you want for her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s not a pirate, we didn’t know he was a pirate before, you can arrange some work for her, don’t send her back to that village, she won’t last long if she returns,” Philippa stated straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng didn’t have the ability to discern lies, but judging from her demeanor, she didn’t seem to be making excuses for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also said, “Do your job well, and your mother will live a good life on Gold and Silver Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then we have a deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took out a slave scroll and said, “This is a slave contract, don’t resist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng walked out, picked up a quill pen, pricked the tip of her finger, and a drop of blood fell on the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll absorbed the blood, drawing upon Wu Heng’s spiritual power, penetrating her forehead, and branding upon her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contract was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philippa began to feel weak, slumping directly onto the sofa at one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng put away the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, “Wei’er, prepare a meal for her, with extra meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow nodded and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came back, she entered carrying some food and placed it in front of ‘Philippa.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter looked up at the two of them, then began to wolf down the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng leaned against the desk and said, “Later, you’ll be sent back to your cell, don’t show any unusual behavior. When I’ve arranged everything, I’ll let you know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm!” Philippa, with her mouth stuffed with food, mumbled and asked, “What about the ship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the ship, you’ll get one of the previous pirate ships.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the matter of pirate intelligence, there was also the issue of a mysterious letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the information retrieved from the ‘Wenshi,’ such letters would suddenly appear beside the pirate ship captains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules of transmission were still unclear, but they were definitely related to the pirate leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it would be seen if ‘Philippa,’ once she became the new leader, would also receive such letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be cautious when you return, your very life depends on it,” Wu Heng cautioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philippa swallowed the last piece of bread and nodded her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked at Andre Willow, who summoned the guards on duty, and they took ‘Philippa’ back to her cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is she a pirate?” Andre Willow asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, the daughter of the former captain of the Iron Barrel Pirate Group,” Wu Heng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems she is even younger than Mini.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the time, I didn’t expect her to be associated with pirates either, I thought she was just a hostage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow began to clear away the dishes and asked, “Will those pirates listen to her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng shook his head, “I’m not sure, the Steward thinks she can handle it, she must not be as simple as she appears.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng sat in the association for a while, went to inform the Steward about the situation, and noticing there was nothing else pressing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he left the association directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini was in the courtyard practicing martial arts with Bawudong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wu Heng return, she immediately stopped her motions and ran back quickly, “Master, you’ve returned quite early today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I came back early since there wasn’t much to do,” Wu Heng embraced her shoulder, “Why so diligent today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I normally practice at this time, you just didn’t know,” Mini said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems our Mini is indeed very hardworking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile instantly spread across Mini’s face, “That’s right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went into the room together, and Chef No. 1 prepared lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating together,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini returned to training in the courtyard, while Wu Heng headed to the fourth floor, to the Alchemy Laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon pushing open the door, he saw ‘No.1 Expert,’ with six arms, busily concocting elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hands tinkered with the instruments in front, two pulverized ingredients, and the remaining two held medicinal herbs and shook elixir bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like one person doing the work of three, the movements perfectly coordinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mistakes occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng stood at the doorway, watching without entering to disturb the expert at work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quietly closed the door again, entered his study, and opened the boundary door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He headed to the Zombie World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the hotel, he found the open space outside teeming with dense ranks of the Skeleton Army, with four Flying Dragons circling continuously overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scavenge rate of the auto repair shop’s fleet had also exceeded the range of the hotel,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>scouring the road for various supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s already October, and winter is drawing closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auto repair shop has enough supplies to get through this winter smoothly, but the more supplies one has, the greater the sense of security one feels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the road continues to push forward, more shelters will come here to exchange resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scavenged goods will also be traded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will be used to compensate for the lack of other resources at the auto repair shop and to accumulate more gold and silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two trucks and a bus stop across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yahong steps down from the vehicle, along with four alchemy skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The alchemy skeletons have been brought over, and those jars and bottles are all in the car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four alchemy skeletons step forward and bow slightly to Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nods and says, “Take your things and move them into the first floor of the hotel, and I’ll arrange a new work location for you later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alchemy skeletons return to the bus, carrying the organ jars and jars filled with herbs down into a single room of the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qiangzi and the others look up at the dragons circling in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, there are four now,” Qiangzi says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among them, aren’t two clad in armor?” his bespectacled companion adds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That looks like a saddle to me, the kind you sit on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s armor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I say it’s a saddle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the alchemy skeletons finish moving the items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng signals to everyone to get back into the vehicles and continue clearing zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of zombies spreads rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies from all directions converge on the main road, a dense mass filling the entire street without end in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng glances at the horde and says directly, “Send the dragons into the sky, then drop the solid iron bombs in sequence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~ Whirr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four skeleton dragons soar into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching above the zombie horde, they start dropping bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the dense ammunition, like heavy rain, rapidly covers the entire street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom boom boom~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of the deafening booms, thick smoke rises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise is greater than in any previous battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dust settles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the once-crowded street is instantly cleared, leaving only broken corpses and limbs, with blood covering the entire road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few sporadic zombies still charge this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yahong, Qiangzi, and the others all widen their eyes, somewhat disbelieving what they see before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire street cleared in one attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s way too exaggerated!” Qiangzi exclaims in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bespectacled man in the passenger seat says, “Logically speaking, there’s no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What logic, you were the most shocked just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng too watches the scene with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his own experience bar has risen a notch, and in two or three more attempts, he could level up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Advance!” Wu Heng commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton army begins to move forward, killing any surviving zombies along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng follows behind, casting [Corpse Battlefield] where a large number of skeletons rise and join the advancing ranks, moving forward as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the battlefield has been cleared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng leads the army onward, continuing to clear zombies along the way, increasing both experience and the number of skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continue until dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yahong and the others need to return to the bus station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then does the team start to head back; the convoy leaves, and Wu Heng takes the alchemy skeletons through the boundary door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng takes the four alchemy skeletons into the Alchemy Laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, you will prepare elixirs here. If you need anything, you can ask me or the rabbit girl downstairs,” Wu Heng instructs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alchemy skeletons enter the room, moving various jars and bottles they are carrying inside as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng also directs the other skeletons to bring in a freezer and connect it to power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything has been set up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng continues to say, “No.1 Expert, come over for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.1 Expert puts down the work in hand and steps forward immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng takes out a third-level corpse core and says, “This is a corpse core. I need you to extract from it components that enhance living beings without harming them and refine them into an elixir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.1 Alchemy Number takes the corpse core, then moves to a piece of equipment and begins the operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng, seeing that the work has started, does not continue to disturb and leaves the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.1 Alchemy Number, a level 15 alchemist, should have no problem developing from a third-level corpse core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He goes downstairs to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing swordplay in the courtyard, he takes two maids back to his room to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Wu Heng visits the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a vice-executive, he is tasked with the execution of pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various teams have killed more than twenty pirates, but that does not include the Iron Barrel Pirate Group, as there are further plans for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, executing pirates has inevitably put significant psychological pressure on members of the Iron Barrel Pirate Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said some have even tried to bribe the guards unsuccessfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, Wu Heng returns home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heads to Zombie World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng steps out of the boundary door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walkie-talkie on the table crackles with static,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then Li Yahong’s voice follows, “Big Boss, can you hear me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng presses the talk button and replies, “I’m here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m on my way now; I have something to discuss with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Heng walks down the stairs, he sees Li Yahong running over hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a deep breath, Li Yahong says, “There’s news of Xiao Xiao’s mother. She’s in a shelter in the Peace District, but they don’t sound very friendly.”\u003C\u002Fp>",2130,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","310445249e2f23a3c1fb304b1359e93a6f5b97452e5f5093026b36d6ad9d30ec","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-366","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-364",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
