Chapter 499, Rentam City Crisis (Updated Today.)

For the merchant groups that want to do business or transfer goods from the island.

Maintaining close cooperation with the island owner's mansion is a good opportunity to get closer to each other, especially for those merchant groups that did not write a recommendation letter to help Wu Heng become the island owner.

They want to seize this opportunity for cooperation.

They all look quite enthusiastic.

Wu Heng actually wants Shanara to help him with the merchant group's purchases.

However, Shanara has just returned to the wood elves and it will take some time for her to come back.

The Star Flower merchant group representative was also on the scene, with the same status as the other merchant group representatives.

"These are the items I need to purchase, you can take a look first." Wu Heng took out several arranged material lists and handed them to the merchant group representatives present.

The material list was reorganized by the strange machine master.

It includes 3 mm copper plates, white gunpowder, lead and other materials.

White gunpowder is similar to smokeless gunpowder in the modern world, the difference is the material.

The gunpowder in this world is mixed with the scale powder of fire monsters.

The strange machine master made adjustments while arranging the materials.

The people from various business groups looked at the material list, some showed joy, while others shook their heads helplessly.

Someone stood up and said, "Island Master, at the previous auction of the Snake Emblem Consortium, we won the copper mining rights in the east of Rochefort, which can supply your copper mine needs."

Another person also stood up, "Sir, we also export a large amount of copper mines, and we can also make the specifications you need and send them to you."

"White gunpowder, we can provide..."

"..."

Several people stood up in succession and said the materials they could cooperate with.

Wu Heng sat on one side and listened.

All the purchases were smooth, which made him feel relieved.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

He said, "You go back and count the types and prices of materials you can cooperate with. After you come out, send them directly to the city hall. We will choose a few companies to sign agreements and purchase according to the price and transportation conditions. You don't have to worry about the money. It will be settled normally."

"Yes, yes!" Everyone nodded flatteringly.

"That's it for now. Please make your offer as soon as possible so that we can choose." Wu Heng said.

Everyone stood up and saluted, and walked out together.

...

Wait for everyone to leave.

Wu Heng also left the association directly.

He took a carriage back to the island owner's manor, and after putting on the [train conductor's hat], the ghost train appeared.

Go directly to the "Netale City" of the Yeke Kingdom.

The train stopped in an empty place, and Wu Heng went directly into the city with a cloak and veil.

Different from the past.

There were fewer pedestrians on the streets of Netale City at this time than in the past few days. Everyone was in a hurry, and many shops were closed.

I bought some materials temporarily in the alchemy shop and the mineral shop, and then went to the semi-underground Snake Emblem Consortium in the Mermaid Tavern.

The Snake Emblem Consortium was not as lively as before.

Two scattered people stood in front of the notice board, whispering something.

Wu Heng walked directly into the reserved room.

Not long after, a strange young woman walked in carefully.

After looking at Wu Heng, he said respectfully, "Sir, are you here to exchange potions?"

Wu Heng looked at the other party and nodded, "It wasn't you before, was it?"

"My lady has something to do, so she arranged for me to trade with you here. Don't worry, the lady and I have explained everything." The other party leaned forward and spoke in a half-bowed posture.

Wu Heng still looked at her.

The other party said again: "My lady also said that if you want to help her refine potions, the previous promise is still valid, and you can offer higher conditions."

This time, it is also to prove his identity.

After all, outsiders don't know the conditions of the two, unless the blonde woman says it herself.

"Well." Wu Heng nodded, took out two bottles of potions directly, and put them on the table.

The woman in front of him also took out a brocade box from the space ring.

Carefully opened it, put it on the table and pushed it over.

Inside was a crown of fresh flowers.

[Fairy Flower Crown]

(Description: A flower crown made by secluded fairies, with the effects of self-healing, nourishing the body, and beast language.)

This time it is not a rare item, but a magic item.

But the effect is still very good.

Some magic items are as effective as rare items, and have no side effects.

This 'elf flower crown' is also pretty good. Although it is not a combat item, even if it has a self-healing effect, it is impossible to wear a flower crown in a battle.

More often it is used after the battle, or carried on weekdays, and it can also nourish the body.

The woman introduced softly: "The flower crown of the fairy tribe has a self-healing effect equivalent to an intermediate healing potion. Wearing it on weekdays can nourish the body very well, and can also gain the ability to communicate with animals and beasts."

It turns out that beast language really means literally, communicating with beasts.

After the introduction.

The woman asked carefully: "Sir, are you satisfied with the things?"

"Well, I'm quite satisfied." Wu Heng put it away directly.

The other party smiled when he heard that he was satisfied, and put the potion away as well.

After the transaction, Wu Heng asked, "Why are there so few people on the street?"

The woman shook her head slightly, "Sorry, I can't say anything, and I don't want to be perfunctory."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

He was a little surprised by this answer.

Standing up, he said, "It's okay. I'll go back first."

The woman saluted again.

Wu Heng walked out directly.

He didn't stay outside for long. He got on the ghost train in a deserted place and returned to Treasure Island.

…

Returned to his residence.

Wu Heng sat in the living room and chatted with Minnie for a while. When he was almost done with rest, he went upstairs again.

Opened the door and went to the zombie world.

Added some of the purchased materials into the machines in the production chain.

A few people stood aside and waited silently.

Then, the sound of the machine running sounded, and the whole thing started working.

The copper plate was cut into coin-sized discs, and then the discs were squeezed into hollow shells through the machine.

Then the bottom was fixed, the gunpowder was filled, and the bullet was fixed.

Wu Heng had seen the drawings and understood the general process.

Qi Hancai and others were curious about the production of bullets for the first time.

But after the whole process was completed and the complete bullet was made, it didn't feel that difficult to make.

"These materials may not be produced for a long time." Qi Hancai said.

"I will find a way when the time comes, don't worry."

Qi Hancai thought for a while, "I can let various places collect some copper products, but gunpowder is difficult to collect."

"Well, then collect some copper products, gunpowder and lead first, and I will find a way."

"Okay!"

After some bullets were produced, Wu Heng stopped the machine.

Collect the newly produced bullets.

They walked out of the factory together and came outside.

Handed the bullet to a skeleton holding a machine gun, "Replace this bullet."

The skeleton opened the magazine and loaded the new bullet into it.

Shoot at a distance.

Bang bang bang~!

A burst of gunfire sounded, and the bullet hit the wooden target in the distance.

There was no problem with the track and range.

This also proved that not only was there no problem with the replacement of white gunpowder, but the bullets produced by the entire production chain were also up to standard.

"It looks like the effect is not bad." Qi Hancai glanced at the wooden target and said.

"Well, it's really good."

Let the skeleton return to his post.

Wu Heng and Qi Hancai walked back together.

They returned directly to their respective residences.

…

The next day, the island owner's manor.

Wu Heng was basking in the sun on a lounge chair, while Minnie was tending to the flowers and plants in the flowerbed nearby.

Dong Dong Dong~!

The manor's door was knocked.

Minnie wiped her hands on her apron and quickly ran over to open the door.

She chatted with the people outside.

She came back with a letter in her hand.

"Master, there is a letter from the association, and it was sent directly here."

"A letter." Wu Heng sat up, took it and took a look.

He tore open the envelope and poured the letter directly out.

Lines of handwriting appeared.

Wen Mansha's letter.

"Master:

I have received the letter you sent me. I am very happy, but I was still scared when you suddenly appeared beside my pillow.

I can't be scared now.

You said you would come back to see me, but there has been no news for several days. I can't wait any longer, so I wrote you a letter.

I just hope I don't miss you and miss you.

The city of Rentam has been a little uneasy recently. Two days ago, there was an assassination attempt by gangs in the outer city. Several officials of the city hall were assassinated and there were signs of interrogation.

Through investigation and investigation of several gangs, 's arrest.

I got some news that a high-level professional has entered the city and is planning something.

I have arranged personnel to increase patrols and guards in the city, but some officials still choose to leave because of pressure.

Deacon Slater has also come a few times, but he can't stay in the city all the time, and there is no better way.

If the master is here, this kind of thing will definitely not happen...

I just hope that I won't do too badly and let the master down.

Waiting for you to come back.

——Wen Mansha"

Looking at the content of the letter, Wu Heng frowned slightly.

The letters sent before were all about the prosperity of Rentam City, the rapid development of the city, and the continuous increase in tax revenue.

In addition, the Golden Cat has done a good job and has become an entertainment center for surrounding cities.

A real city that never sleeps.

And today's letter clearly carries a kind of worry.

There are high-level professionals who assassinate officials and interfere with the development of 'Rentam City'.

Like Rentam City, the middle ground without the support of countries and forces is really the place where it is easiest to overthrow the regime.

It seems that I really have to go back.

"Is it Sister Wen Mansha?" Minnie asked.

"So smart!"

"I knew it was her. She must be going crazy thinking about you." Minnie said.

Andwier also said that.

Among the three maids in Rentam City, Wen Mansha is the most clingy.

It seems that Minnie thinks so too.

Wu Heng put away the letter and said, "There are high-level professionals making trouble in Rentam City. This is what Wen Mansha said."

"Didn't you leave a high-level skeleton? Higher than that?"

Rentam City was not much concerned before.

According to the feeling of playing games in the past, it is more like a city around the Novice Village.

It is higher than Blackstone Town, but it is much worse than Treasure Island.

Level 15 is the top professional there.

At that time, the 15th level of the Warhammer Party, a bandit leader, almost occupied the entire city.

But now the tax revenue in the city has skyrocketed.

It has attracted the attention of high-level professionals.

"Maybe they want to occupy it!" Wu Heng said.

Minnie looked over and asked, "Are you going back?"

"Well, go back and see, at least turn on the radio for her, so she doesn't have to write letters all the time."

"Yes, you can accompany Sister Wen Mansha when the time comes. It's pitiful for her to stay there alone." Minnie said.

Wu Heng nodded, thinking about the plan to leave.

Treasure Island has stabilized, and there is no need to worry about it for a while.

It mainly depends on the zombie world.

There is no result with the provincial rescue team.

We must solve the problem as soon as possible, and then go to Rentam City.

...

Afternoon.

Go directly to the zombie world.

More people have been transferred here, and the factory seems to be lively.

Wu Heng walked down from upstairs.

Qi Hancai also walked quickly from outside, with a serious face, "Come here."

Seeing her expression, he also followed her to a place behind the building.

There was a corpse on the open space in the middle.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Someone dead?"

Qi Hancai shook his head, "Not one of us. He was found climbing over the wall last night and was killed by the skeleton."

Not one of us.

He climbed over the wall to come in?

Wu Heng guessed, "From the provincial rescue team?"

After all, our people are here, and only the rescue team knows.

"It's possible. He didn't wear the clothes of the rescue team, but he was armed with a pistol, so it shouldn't be much different."

Wu Heng nodded and released [Talk to the Dead] directly to the corpse.

The corpse sat up from the ground, looking over here with cloudy eyes.

Wu Heng asked directly, "Which base are you from?"

The corpse replied, "Dongying Street, Xiaoshicheng Base."

Xiaoshicheng is where the rescue team built its base.

Some people say it's the rescue team base, and some people say it's the Xiaoshicheng base, but they just call it differently.

But it also verified the two people's guess that they were from the provincial rescue team.

Wu Heng then asked, "What are you doing here?"

The corpse replied, "Boss Huang, we were given the task of collecting intelligence here, which can be exchanged for food."

Boss Huang!

He really didn't give up.

Wu Heng asked again, "What intelligence are you collecting?"

"The missing team, the defense plan of the factory area, and what is being done inside."

The two looked at each other.

Qi Hancai didn't say anything, but his face became more and more solemn.

He was still collecting the defense plan on his side, and the purpose was obvious.

Even if he didn't want to attack, he was ready to attack.

Wu Heng signaled Qi Hancai not to worry.

Continue to look at the corpse, "Is it only Boss Huang who said so, or did the entire rescue team agree to investigate here?"

"Only Boss Huang did it without telling the other two forces in the rescue team."

The last question.

"How many weapons and equipment does Boss Huang have."

"Four armored vehicles, and a lot of guns, I don't know the exact number."

After answering the five questions.

The corpse lay back on the ground.

It seems that Boss Huang has already blamed this matter on himself.

Whether he was really missing or died somewhere.

None of this matters.

Just be sure of yourself here.
