The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 297: Chapter 247, Oh, what is this_1

Money Cat.

The foreman in charge of the renovations has been called over and is following behind two women, explaining the current progress.

“We are now finishing up the final touches, it should be completed in three days.”

Slyther took a few steps in the hall, her hands behind her back.

The interior renovation work was a pleasant surprise.

Just as Wu Heng said, the decor style of this Money Cat was much more luxurious than the one in Black Stone Town. The floor, walls, and ceilings had all been decorated.

It didn’t fall short compared to the City Lord’s Mansion they had visited earlier.

“How do these lighting fixtures work?” Slyther asked.

Wen Mansha came up from behind and explained, “They are electric lights, which draw solar power from equipment installed in the ceiling to provide lighting.”

Then, she flipped a switch.

The chandeliers and wall lamps in the hall lit up one after another, making the entire space even more sparkling and bright.

“Can they provide normal lighting in the dark?”

“They are mainly used during darkness.”

Slyther glanced around and nodded, “Not bad.”

They continued to the second floor, the foreman explaining other matters while Wen Mansha clarified how the air conditioning worked.

…

Second floor of the shop.

[Protection Pendant]

(Description: A pendant engraved with the ‘Sword Shield Protection’ rune, can form a magic barrier in crucial moments to block a portion of incoming damage.)

[Fireball Magic Ring]

(Description: Can summon a scorching fireball, causing spell damage to a target. 25 minutes charge time.)

[Stay Youthful Bracelet]

(Description: A product of natural power, nourishes the body.)

After some deliberation, Wu Heng chose these items.

The store seemed to specialize solely in accessories, he didn’t see any weapons or armor magic items.

He bought two protection pendants in total.

The extra one from last time was given to Wen Mansha. Her place was more dangerous so it might save her life in a critical moment.

The two bought this time were for the two maids.

Now that he had money, he wasn’t sure about the safety on Gold and Silver Island, so he decided to be prepared in advance.

The Fireball Magic Ring was also good, it had a certain offensive effect.

And he bought two ‘Stay Youthful Bracelets’. The bracelet was a brown vine, and the salesperson explained that it enhances female skin and appearance.

The two maid’s eyes widened.

So he directly purchased them.

If the effects are good, the rest of the women could receive some too later.

“Sir, the total is 2 gold and 755 silver.”

The ‘Protection Necklace’ was indeed the most expensive item, priced at 820 silver.

After paying, he handed the necklace and bracelets to the two maids.

The two maids were overjoyed and hopped off in glee.

…

Returning to the tavern.

Wu Heng gave the two maids some instructions and walked into the other room of the suite.

He opened the boundary door and traveled to the Zombie World.

Arriving at the window, he looked out to see the convoy had returned.

The survivors at the base were all busy with their own things.

He took out his walkie-talkie and called Li Yahong.

Shortly after, footsteps were heard coming from the staircase.

Li Yahong ran up, and as soon as she saw Wu Heng, she pounced into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist, “I haven’t seen you for days.”

Wu Heng grabbed her round and plump bottom. It was soft and bouncy, “I’ve been dealing with some stuff, you went back to the prison?”

“Mm, I went back for a bit. The Alchemy Skeleton has made some potions, I brought them over,” Li Yahong stated.

Wu Heng asked curiously, “New potions?”

“Mm.” Li Yahong got down from him and opened the backpack she was carrying. She gently took out bottles of potions from the bag and placed them on the table.

Three bottles in total.

[High-efficiency Reinforcement Potion]

(Description: It is a potion developed from peculiar mutant toxin extraction, which has certain modification effects on living creatures, and a slight chance of awakening the power of bloodlines.)

Seeing the attributes of the potion, Wu Heng’s heart leaped with joy.

As expected, potions made from Level 2 Corpse Cores.

He had long hoped for this.

With this potion, he could directly increase his attributes again.

Enhance his physical fitness.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Are you so happy?” Li Yahong saw joy written all over his face.

The potion didn’t have a name on it.

To Li Yahong, because all the potions looked similar, she didn’t know what kind of potion it was.

But seeing Wu Heng so happy, she knew the value of the potion must be very high.

“Mhm, it’s just what I need!” Wu Heng casually explained and put the potion away, then continued to ask, “Any news from outside lately?”

Sitting by the bed, he patted his thigh.

Li Yahong walked over and sat on his lap, saying, “There’s no significant news, it’s all the usual. By the way, someone has made a Strongman Rankings for us.”

Wu Heng reached down her waist, gently rubbing her smooth belly, “A Strongman Ranking? What good is that?”

“If it has any use, it might be to promote fame, but it doesn’t really have any substantive effect,” Li Yahong analyzed.

“Who got on the list?”

Li Yahong looked at him with a full face of smiles, “First place, King Yama…”

Well, this title is spreading outside too.

The reason he didn’t stop the shelter from calling him The Great King was also because he didn’t want his real name to be known to too many people.

Now, his title is spreading so widely, it’s completely uncontrollable.

“What else?” Wu Heng moved his hand upward.

Li Yahong, in cooperation with him, loosened her spike proof clothing and grabbed something round and soft.

“Second place, Flame God of the Flame God Shelter, third place, Butcher of the Iron Wall Shelter, fourth place, Han Cai of the Dongan Village Shelter, fifth place, Saber God of the Eternal Blessing Shelter.”

Well, they’ve all given themselves quite fancy names.

Almost like the titles in novels.

“Wait, what’s going on with the one named Han Cai? She doesn’t seem to fit in.”

Li Yahong chuckled, leaned her chin on her shoulder, and softly said, “She’s the only female leader, maybe she didn’t find these names suitable, so she used her own name.”

“Are you not on the list?” Wu Heng further asked.

“How could I be on the list? These are all famous leaders who have probably awakened their Superpowers.”

“They’ve all awakened Superpowers?”

“Likely so, whether it’s true or false there aren’t any definite messages. But the strength of the shelters is definitely a bit stronger,” Li Yahong said.

After so much time passing, the number of people awakening superpowers has started to increase, it’s not really odd.

Living in the apocalypse, everyone has been licking blood from the tips of their blades, forcing people to continually adapt to their surroundings.

“Your power, however, should also be enough to make the list.”

“A list that doesn’t mean much, you representing us on it is good enough.”

Speaking of Superpowers, Wu Heng suddenly thought of the magic item he purchased today. He took out the ‘Fireball Magic Ring’, “This is for you.”

The magic ring was broad and thick, not well-suited to modern taste.

Li Yahong took a look, “Thank you for the gift.”

“Put it on and I will teach you how to use it.”

“Use it?”

Li Yahong was puzzled and slipped the ring onto her pointer finger.

Wu Heng pulled his hand back from her clothes, had her sit next to him, and said, “Close your eyes and concentrate, use your spirit to communicate with the ring in your hand.”

Li Yahong closed her eyes, quiet for a moment, then opened them again, “Is it working?”

“No.”

“What should be happening?”

“A flame should appear on the ring.”

“Like a lighter?”

“Stop talking, close your eyes, and try to feel the ring again.”

Li Yahong stuck out her tongue and closed her eyes again, attempting to feel the ring on her hand as he instructed.

Silence for about ten minutes.

Li Yahong suddenly opened her eyes, raised her right hand, and a blazing fireball formed in her palm.

Seeing that what appeared in her palm was a fireball, not a lighter flame, Li Yahong’s face showed not only shock, but also a numb disbelief from shattered perceptions.

“Ah, it’s getting hot, what do I do?” Li Yahong suddenly cried in panic.

The fireball was not a spell she cast herself, short-term control was okay, but after a certain amount of time, she could feel the heat from the fireball.

Wu Heng immediately opened the window, “Throw it out.”

“Throw it?” Li Yahong nonetheless flung it towards the window.

Whoosh~!

The fireball flew out the window, aiming towards the yard.

With a bang, it exploded into four streams of flame, falling down.

“Ah~! What happened?”

“Something’s on fire!”

“Quick, put out the fire~!”

Instant chaos ensued in the yard.

Immediately after, someone ran up upstairs to check where the fire was coming from.

Li Yahong swiftly fixed her clothes, rubbed her slightly burned palm on her buttocks, opened the door and looked at the people rushing up.

“Sister Hong, there’s a fire downstairs,” someone said.

“Nobody got hurt, right?”

“No, the fire’s been put out. Was there an incident upstairs?” a few people asked crowdingly.

Li Yahong said, “It’s fine, just a slight mishap while experimenting some stuff. As long as no one got hurt.”

A few people glanced inside, seeing Wu Heng sitting there.

They immediately said, “Understood, we’ll leave then.”

“Hmm.”

…

Everyone went downstairs.

Li Yahong rushed straight back, hugged Wu Heng’s arm, and exclaimed, “What is this? Did you steal Ma Zhiyong’s Superpower?”
