Chapter 221: Chapter 192, Regional Command_1

As for the leader of the Blood Clan’s Secret Speakers,

There is not much information available in the outside world; they only know it’s a female member of the Blood Clan.

Leaders of other factions serve at most a few decades, before a new leader takes their place, causing some personnel changes or reforms.

This is not the case with the Secret Speakers, they have not changed their leader in hundreds of years.

Because of her long-term leadership, the direction of development is relatively unified, allowing the initially small faction of the ‘Secret Speakers’ to gradually enter the public’s view.

They began to become an important intelligence department within the association.

Slyther’s letter does not explicitly say so, but by piecing it together,

we can infer the source of the information related to the Blood Clan.

The individual who could bring benefits to him and Slyther is this centuries-old leader.

Exchanging a special object to get the attention of a faction leader in the association is not a bad idea.

You could even say it’s more profitable than selling it for a large sum of money.

“Women are indeed meticulous,” he thought.

Now it seems that there is still a gap between him and Slyther.

While he was thinking about how to sell the special object for the highest possible price, Slyther directly contacted a leader of the Eternal Night Clan.

She was the one who was more decisive.

Once he figured that out,

There was nothing left to hesitate about.

Taking an envelope and letter paper from the drawer, he began to write a reply to Slyther.

The content was very simple. Since she had arranged everything, he would definitely support her.

The special item wouldn’t be sold, one could come to get it at any time, or there was any way to send it to her.

Of course, the letter did not mention that the buyer has already been killed by him.

He put the letter in the envelope.

Just as he finished sealing it with wax.

The door was pushed open.

Duke and the thief ‘Burke’ walked in while they were chatting.

Seeing Wu Heng sitting in the room, they immediately greeted, “Captain, you are here early.”

“Hmm! Did you come together?” Wu Heng asked.

“Burke also lives in the Outer City Area. We ran into each other on the way here, so we came together,” Duke explained.

Wu Heng looked at the thief with a smile and asked, “Burke, do you live in the Outer City Area?”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Who is at home?”

Burke was suddenly silent, after a few seconds, he finally smiled again, “My mother and my brother.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Work hard, do a normal job for a few years, and you can have a better life as a captain.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Duke also added: “Just follow the captain, it’s not hard to make meritorious service.”

“Yeah, I’m counting on Captain and Brother Duke.”

As they were chatting, Mata and the warrior ‘Galo Berley’ also walked in.

After talking to each other for a bit, Wu Heng led everyone out.

He delivered the letter to the front desk.

And then went to the Outer City Area to start patrolling for the day.

…

Outer City Area.

The whole street was in chaos, they saw three or four groups of people in conflict along the way.

Wu Heng and the others did not interfere, only watched from a distance,

just to avoid getting caught up in the crossfire.

Soon, members of the governing gang separated the conflicting parties and issued warnings.

Seeing nothing else to watch, they continued on their patrol route.

They had a large group and nobody dared to cause trouble for them.

In fact, Wu Heng did not know what he was patrolling for.

They did not know any of the people from the Hammer Party, nor could they really catch a couple of infiltrators.

As they reached the centre of the area,

Suddenly, a figure burst forth from a short distance away.

“Sir, Captain sir…”

Just as the figure approched, he was kicked back by Bawudong with a loud thud.

He fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Wu Heng could now clearly see the man’s face.

A fat man in a dark blue robe, somehow familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.

Duke took the battle axe from his back, his eyes alert, watching the man.

The fat man sprang up immediately and explained, “Sir, you don’t recognize me. The last time, you bought a few slaves from me, and you picked two.”

Slave trader.

The image in his mind overlapped with the plump man before his eyes, the very same who had sold slaves before.

Wu Heng curiously asked, “You were looking for me?”

“No, no!” The fat man brushed some dust off his body, glanced at the people behind him and said, “Sir, can we talk for a moment? It won’t take up much of your time.”

Wu Heng looked around, along with his two skeleton guards, he moved to a more secluded spot.

“Speak.”

The fat man rubbed his hands and whispered, “Sir, I have some girls. They all meet human aesthetic standards and the prices are reasonable right now. I was wondering if you might need any more.”

Wu Heng was surprised that it was about this, he turned around, ready to leave.

The fat man didn’t dare to stop him, he hurriedly said, “Sir, outside is not safe these days, most slaves can’t get into the city, please do a good deed and buy them to serve as maids.”

It seemed that it was due to the Hammer Party again.

Prices in the city had skyrocketed, keeping slaves had now become an expensive cost.

Now, the outer city area was unsafe too. Everyone wanted to find a way to get in.

“Why don’t you just free them and be done with it, why would I need to play the good guy?” Wu Heng said bluntly.

“Sir, this is Lundham City, I do have some deterrence power. But without finding buyers for them, they can hardly survive if I just let them go,” the fat man continued.

I don’t believe you at all.

You’re eating and growing fat as a ball, with expensive jewelry on you.

And now you’re talking like you’re considering for the slaves.

“I can’t afford to buy more slaves, you should ask others!” Wu Heng flatly refused.

Things were already a mess on his end.

He had to arrange guards for two maids, he didn’t have the ability to buy more people.

Besides, could he save them all?

“Sir, do you know where the generous lady from last time lives? The price of slaves has dropped by half, I don’t know if she might still need some.” The fat man continued.

He was asking about Slyther.

Indeed a strong and generous woman.

“She’s not in Lundham City, I can send her a letter to ask, but we would need to wait some time for her response,” Wu Heng said.

Slyther might need to employ some people on her end.

Last time, the price for buying slaves was not low, but now it could save quite a lot of money.

“Oh, okay, thank you very much, sir.” The fat man hesitated again, and then said, “If you want to buy slaves, you can directly come to me, I’ll give you a more preferential price.”

Wu Heng headed in the direction of his squad, waving at him on his departure.

He returned to his group.

Duke immediately asked, “Captain, what was he sneakily doing?”

“He was asking if I wanted to buy slaves, I guess the situation isn’t very good now and he can’t sell them off,” Wu Heng casually answered.

“Oh, a slave trader, huh.”

They followed the patrol route for a round.

After confirming there was nothing amiss, they returned to the association.

Wu Heng told his team members, “I have some errands to run this afternoon. Duke, Mata, you guys take the two new members and go on patrol. Remember, we are here just to assist in guarding the city, don’t try to take matters into your own hands, report any issues to the rector.”

The members were taken aback.

They agreed nonetheless.

“Roger that, Captain.”

Once confirming there was no problem.

Everyone disbanded and left.

…

Zombie World.

When Wu Heng came over and stood by the window, he pulled open the curtain and looked outside.

On the commercial street, a row of caravans had already parked.

Qiangzi and others were wearing masks and transferring the goods inside.

Li Yahong and her team were back.

Wu Heng went downstairs and went towards the caravan.

As soon as he approached, the walkie-talkie received a message. The scout had informed Li Yahong that Boss Yama was on his way down.

Soon, Li Yahong came out from the Shadow City Mall.

“When did you come back?” Wu Heng asked.

“Around two o’clock. Seeing you were resting and there weren’t any zombies out, we started transferring the goods.” Li Yahong replied.

She must have tried to contact him through the walkie-talkie when she arrived.

Since she didn’t get a response, she started scavenging for supplies.

Considering the distance from here to the prison, their speed was quite fast.

“Oh, I didn’t hear it earlier.”

“By the way, what do you think of being nominated as a Disaster Prevention and Relief Commander?” Li Yahong suddenly asked.

Wu Heng was taken aback.

“What do you mean?”

“The headquarters wants to appoint a Disaster Prevention and Relief Commander for each region, and our prison is on the candidate list.”
