Chapter 367: Chapter 305, Let’s Work Together_2
“Raising the price again, huh? First, let’s have them deliver some goods, then keep demanding more continuously. With the person in our hands, I doubt they’ll refuse to pay.”
“That’s true.” One of them, flicking the cards in his hands, said, “I went to check on her this morning. That chick actually looks decent. Couldn’t tell when she was covered in dirt before.”
“Boss ordered not to touch her.”
“He only said not to go all the way, a little touch to satisfy the craving won’t hurt.”
The rest of them hesitated for a moment, “You have a point, let’s all go there tonight.”
“Haha, great!”
…
Flying Dragons were circling in the sky.
The four men playing cards underneath didn’t notice anything unusual.
Wu Heng’s perception was enhanced; even from high above, he could faintly hear the content of their conversation.
It seemed Xiao Xiao’s mother hadn’t found herself a very good refuge.
He patted the Skeleton Flying Dragon on the neck again and started to lower its flying altitude.
Once they reached a certain distance.
Wu Heng, along with a few skeletons, descended from the sky.
He used the Featherfall Skill mid-air to land softly on the rooftop.
The card players only turned around when they heard the landing noise, their pupils dilating as they saw the sudden appearance of several figures.
In a panic, they stood up and pointed their guns, their fingers ready on the triggers.
Wu Heng waved his hand gently, and the guns jerked out of their control, pointing into the sky.
Holding the ‘Spine Staff,’ he said directly, “Look at me.”
The men glanced over, puzzled.
Wu Heng continued, “Deep Sleep.”
Whoosh~!
The four men’s bodies instantly went limp, collapsing to the ground.
Wu Heng then released Xiao Xiao to fly around the vicinity.
“Uncle, there’s nobody in this building.”
“Looks like their base isn’t here,” said Wu Heng.
His gaze returned to the bodies in front of him and commanded, “Go, kill one.”
Bloody Hand stepped forward, grabbed a man by the hair, and his long knife cut across the throat.
Blood gushed out, and the man woke up from his deep sleep.
He clutched his throat, struggling incessantly.
Then the struggles slowly ceased, along with any sound.
Xiao Xiao hid behind Wu Heng’s shoulder, cautiously watching the scene before her.
After the man had breathed his last, Wu Heng activated Communicate with the Dead.
The fallen body sat up suddenly.
Its cloudy eyes looked over.
Wu Heng asked directly, “Where is your base?”
The corpse replied, “The base is in an abandoned factory behind here.”
It seemed this location was just a lookout post, communicating with each other via walkie-talkies.
Wu Heng continued, “How many of you are combat-ready?”
The corpse answered, “A total of more than sixty people.”
“How many guns?”
“More than twenty.”
“Regarding the hostage exchange with the auto repair shop, what’s your plan?”
“Boss said the auto repair shop is wealthy and doesn’t plan on releasing the woman. We’re going to trade repeatedly, squeezing the other side for everything they’re worth.”
These people really weren’t that honest.
Their initial high demands must have been to test the limits of the auto repair shop.
Once they realized the woman was very important to them, they planned to continuously take goods.
After all, the auto repair shop had built a trading market in the shelter, which meant they surely had plentiful resources. They intended to exploit the woman’s value to the last.
One last question remained.
As Wu Heng was about to inquire.
The walkie-talkie hung on the man’s chest emitted a crackling electric noise, followed by an inquiry. The voice transmitted, “Tiger, how’s it going over there?”
Wu Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the corpse, asking, “What were you four doing just now?”
After asking, he pressed the walkie-talkie’s talk button and held it near the corpse’s mouth.
The corpse replied, “Playing cards.”
With the fifth question settled, the corpse fell back to the ground.
More cursing came through the walkie-talkie, “Damn, broadcasting with a fancy tone now, huh? Don’t just care about having fun, keep an eye on the hordes and other matters.”
Wu Heng pressed the button and muttered an acknowledgment.
The conversation over the walkie-talkie ended.
Wu Heng turned his attention back to the other three who were still in a state of deep sleep.
He ordered flatly, “Just kill them all.”
Bloody Hand stepped forward and swung his knife, severing the necks of the three men.
Wu Heng collected the firearms and ammunition.
He cast Bone Manipulation Skill, converting them into Skeleton Warriors.
He then got back onto the Skeleton Flying Dragon, with the three newly converted skeletons riding alongside Skull Crusher and Bloody Hand, two skeletons per Flying Dragon.
They were all just skeletons, so they didn’t weigh much.
The Flying Dragons took off again, heading for the old factory district mentioned by the corpse.
…
Approaching the rear factory area, on the rooftop.
Wu Heng and his party descended from the sky, landing directly on the roof.
“Cao! Who’s there?”
The guard on the rooftop immediately adjusted his gun’s position.
Wu Heng gestured, and the muzzle uncontrollably pointed skyward. Meanwhile, Bloody Hand became a beam of light, dashing swiftly to the guards.
His knife flashed, and several heads soared into the air, blood splattering all around.
Wu Heng collected the firearms from the ground.
He then applied Bone Manipulation Skill to the several bodies.
[Skeleton Warrior (Level 1)]
Three skeletons, all level 1 Skeleton Warriors.
Just ordinary humans.
“Follow me,” Wu Heng said as he walked to the iron door leading to the staircase.
He opened the door wide, “Lead the way.”
The few skeletons walked in front, entering the cold and dim corridor.
Only a few steps in.
A man with a rifle strapped to his back and a cigarette in his mouth emerged from a room.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up, eyebrows furrowing instantly, “What the hell is that?”
In panic, he dropped his lighter and reached for the gun behind him.
