MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 57: There is internal strife in the underworld (please read it...)

 Corpse?

 The middle-aged man frowned slightly and fell into a brief silence.

Wu Heng glanced at him and asked curiously: "It shouldn't be difficult for the Snake Emblem Consortium!"

 According to Deputy Deacon Slater, the Snake Emblem Consortium is a large-scale organization that pursues special interests.

 It shouldn’t be difficult to get a corpse!

　　Why are you still silent?

They don’t even dare to get rid of corpses, so what kind of consortium do they think they are?

"Of course it's no problem." The middle-aged man responded with a smile at first, and then said: "But due to some reasons, it may take a longer time. It depends on whether the guest is willing to wait."

"how?"

"Blackstone Town has been focusing on investigating this matter recently, and it may be postponed for a while. Of course, if we have the opportunity, we will do our best to complete this commission for you." The middle-aged man gave a rough explanation.

 Others may be a little confused, but Wu Heng can understand the reason.

Blackstone Town is investigating the matter of the Necromancer. Even burning corpses requires professional teams and guards to supervise each other. It can be said that they take it very seriously.

This place belongs to the black market, but it is not far from Blackstone Town. It is just a semi-underground market.

 Therefore, the Snake Emblem Consortium will not refuse the client's commission, but it also does not want to drag itself into trouble at this point in time.

It is possible that when he proposed to buy the corpse, the other party guessed that he was the necromancer wanted by Blackstone Town.

 Being able to accept this commission has proven that Snake Hui is very courageous.

 “Okay.” Wu Heng replied.

 He also didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble by buying a corpse.

 To put it bluntly, it’s the same as spending money to research potions in the association. I came here just to ask about the possibility.

 “Okay guest, please wait a moment.”

 The middle-aged man walked out and came back with a blank power of attorney.

He continued: "Guest, do you have any requirements for this corpse? For example, requirements regarding rank, race or gender during life."

Wu Heng thought for a moment.

 Race and gender don’t feel necessary.

 Alchemy is mainly knowledge and has little to do with race.

And by limiting the requirements so much, the body is harder to find and takes longer.

  “I’m more professional in alchemy, and the rest doesn’t matter.” Wu Heng continued.

 The middle-aged man wrote down the content of the entrustment on paper, "Guest, due to the special nature of the entrustment, the amount of the deposit is about 50% more than normal."

 “Okay, how much is it?”

“300 silver coins, the balance will be re-evaluated based on the grade and preservation of the corpse.”

 Damn it, the deposit is only this much.

 I think I bought a body made of gold.

 Enough to issue five or six alchemy commissions in the association.

 But things have already been said here, and it is not easy to go back on it, and I really need such a corpse.

 Take out the money bag, count out 300 silver coins, and hand them to the other party's hand.

 The middle-aged man nodded, "Guest, please give me the emblem to use."

 Hand over the emblem in your hand.

The other party took out something similar to ‘ink pad’, pressed the emblem on the ink pad, and then stamped it directly on the completed power of attorney.

 When you pick it up, a clear pattern has been left.

 This emblem is also a seal.

"Guest, that's all." The man handed back the wiped coat of arms and continued: "When the body is brought in, it will be posted on the notice board at the door."

 “Okay!” Wu Heng stood up and walked outside.

 After leaving the room, go down the stairs.

Walking among the crowd, I continued to visit the black market stalls.

 There are still many types of goods for sale.

 But there is not much that can be used.

 The only stall that caught his attention was the stall where he bought the strange item ‘Shroud’.

The same items were still there, and the stall owner didn’t even change his sitting posture.

Someone came up to ask for the price, but there was only a sound under the black robe, and even the black robe did not shake.

I can also sit still. If it were me, I would definitely have back pain.

 Haunted around, bought two bundles of crossbow arrows, and walked out of the black market.

 Get on the carriage and return to your residence.

 …

 Woke up in the morning, Wu Heng washed up and had breakfast.

Goed to the Professionals Association.

 Pushing open the door of the team lounge, he saw the captain ‘Otluk’ sitting alone in the room.

 “Good morning, captain.” Wu Heng greeted.

 “Well, I came just in time.”

 “Is there a mission?” Wu Heng asked curiously. "It's not a mission." Altluk motioned for him to sit down and continued: "Kavina, Yuri and I have discussed it and plan to take on a commission recently to improve the team's tacit understanding. What do you think?"

 Ever since the team members killed and injured members of the God's Punishment Cult, the association has not taken the initiative to arrange new tasks.

  Recuperate to recover from injury, rest to rest.

 There are four professional teams, and their team is the weakest.

 Among the members of the team, Wu Heng is the most unscrupulous person. He doesn’t come to the association, and sometimes he can’t even be seen.

 So, now that I saw Wu Heng coming, I told him about this matter in advance to see what he thought.

“Okay, any kind of entrustment, it’s best not to be too dangerous.” Wu Heng said.

 Having plundered the gold store by yourself, you don’t have to worry about survival.

 But the rest of the team still have to consider their biological skills.

"Well, don't worry, Yuri is collecting information, and I will choose someone who is similar."

　　 Yuri?

 She has just come to Blackstone Town, what kind of information can she collect?

The most I can collect is about a piece of food information.

"Oh, okay." Wu Heng agreed and continued to ask: "Is there nothing going on in the association recently?"

“No, the main focus is still on the necromancer in the mining village, but there is nothing else going on.”

 “Well, world peace would be the best.”

“What you said doesn’t sound like a necromancer at all.”

 …

 After walking out of the association, I went to the ‘Antlers Store’ to buy some potions.

 I bought some psychoactive potions, therapeutic potions, antidote potions and so on, just in case of emergencies.

 Go back to your residence, close the door, and go directly to the zombie world.

Appeared in the zombie world, climbed to the top of the building to confirm the situation of the eye-skeletons.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he called all the skeletons and walked downstairs together with their weapons in hand.

 Last night, I re-planned my arrangements.

  You cannot spend all your time transforming corpses.

 The main thing is to kill zombies, and use the remaining time to transform.

 On the one hand, I am accumulating experience, but mainly I suspect that the zombies are evolving slowly, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to kill them in the future.

Wu Heng led the skeleton team out of the community from the north gate.

Follow the intersection where the survivor's bus crashed and head north along the road.

 The zombies nearby have been cleared away, and the occasional scattered zombies do not pose any threat.

They rushed over and were killed by the skeletons with kitchen knives.

“Uncle, where are you going?” Xiaoxiao floated in the air and asked curiously.

 “Go to the hardware store.”

 “What are you going to do there?”

“Let’s see if there’s anything useful in there.”

He remembered that there was a large hardware store in this direction. If he could find iron pipe tools nearby, he could only think of it here.

"oh!"

 She let out a small oh, then lay on his shoulder again and stopped talking.

 As we move along the road, there are gradually more zombies on the way.

The sound of fighting is getting louder and louder, and more and more zombies are rushing out nearby.

 “Attack!” Wu Heng gave the order to attack.

 The chopper skeleton bypassed the spearmen and pounced on the zombies in front.

Blood splattered and the sound of a kitchen knife chopping bones resounded throughout the area.

 …

far away.

 The top of a shop near the road.

 A figure stood on the edge looking forward.

 Her face was pale, and there was unconcealable fear on her face.

 A large number of zombies below rushed out of the alley and rushed to the same place.

On the other side of the road, you can also see a group of skeletons holding weapons, fighting with the zombies.

 Blood and broken limbs were splashed all over the sky.

 “Damn, what’s going on?”

At this time, a serious voice came from the headset connected to the intercom, "What's going on outside? Why does it feel like I'm surrounded by zombies?"

 The voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by zombies.

The man on the roof swallowed his saliva and pressed the call button, "Cao, there is civil strife in the underworld, and skeletons and zombies are fighting."
