Chapter 224: Chapter 193, Unlocking Knowledge (One update today, 4000)_3

Qiangzi’s voice came through, “Sister Hong, the convoy is ready and can set off at any time.”

Li Yahong turned her head and pressed the talkie, “Okay, I’ll be going out.”

With some regret, she said, “I have to go now, I should be able to return around noon the day after tomorrow.”

“Mmm, I’ll be waiting for you to return.” Wu Heng lightly tapped her perky buttocks.

Li Yahong’s face turned redder, she straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes and walked out directly.

Shortly after, the convoy started up and headed off into the distance.

Wu Heng watched the convoy leave.

He didn’t hurriedly return to Lundham City, but instead stepped out of the inn again and began to cast “Dead Bones Battlefield” on the piled bodies.

One skeleton after another rose and walked towards the team on the side.

This continued until dusk.

Only then did Wu Heng return to the hotel, and back to Lundham City.

…

The next day, in the Association’s conference room.

The slender conference table was filled with people on both sides.

Steward Gomez, serious-faced, saw that everyone was present and spoke directly, “The Hammer Party operatives have colluded with the gangs in the city and almost opened the gate last night, which could have led to irreversible consequences.”

At this announcement, everyone in the room looked grim.

If the previous attack by the Hammer Party on the outer city area, killing gang members and residents, was for the sake of revenge for the previous siege.

This time, they colluded with others to try to open the city gate.

This confirms that the Hammer Party wants to attack the city.

It was only yesterday that the patrol in the city became more strict, otherwise if the city gate had indeed opened, it would be difficult to say whether the city would still exist.

“What arrangements are there in the city?”

The old beastman sitting at the head of the left asked in a quiet voice.

He leaned on his walking stick, dressed flamboyantly.

Vice-executive of the Association, Beastman Shaman ‘Ethan Ashkarl’.

“The Iron Guard Knights have taken over the walls of two city districts.” Steward said, then added, “If the city is breached, the Hammer Party will surely commit mass slaughter and pillage, our Association’s personnel will also face danger. Besides the daytime patrol tasks, each squad will also patrol the walls at night to increase the city’s defense. Also, they are authorized to use force, anyone found opening city gates or colluding with external enemies can be killed on sight.”

Everyone instantly felt the added weight of responsibility.

Their leisurely days were gone, replaced by nightly patrols.

But with things as they are, nobody had any better ideas.

If the Hammer Party really stormed in, nobody would be spared.

“Understood, steward!” Everyone nodded in response.

“Alright, you may all leave now, start patrolling according to the arrangements.” The steward continued.

Everyone stood up and headed out.

…

Returning to the rest room.

The four squad members all sat in the room.

Seeing Wu Heng enter with a solemn face, they all sensed that something may have happened.

“Leader, what happened?” Duke asked.

Wu Heng replied, “The Hammer Party attempted to open the city gate last night, and they nearly succeeded.”

Everyone’s faces changed instantly, their hearts raced.

If the city gate was really opened, many people would surely die.

“So what’s the plan?” Mata continued to ask.

“The Association has added night patrol duties to all squads. Let’s patrol first, then go back early to rest. We’ll also need to patrol the city walls tonight.” Wu Heng said.

“Okay, got it!” The people stood up and followed him out.

They quickly took a tour of the outer city area.

While they only met more chaos, they didn’t find anything particularly unusual.

They completed their training and split up.

And returned home to rest.

…

Afternoon.

After a brief rest, Wu Heng.

Headed straight into the Zombie World.

The active threats from the Hammer Party made him feel threatened.

He could play mind games with the people from the Association, or the Secret Cultivation Hall, but there was no room for him to negotiate with a gang of bandits.

Once they entered the city, real fighting would have to begin.

The thing that set him apart from others was the boundary door.

Should he fail to resist, he could hide in the Zombie World, but that would be a last resort.

If the city was really taken over by the Hammer Party,

He would have to hide for a while before he could emerge, thus slowing down his progress.

It would be best not to let things escalate to that extent.

Wu Heng opened the map and found a spot marked with a red circle.

He gave the command straight away, “Follow me!”

The skeleton army immediately set in motion, grandly marching towards the target.

Upon reaching the spot,

Ranks of zombies began to attack.

The Spear Array formed up and the spears rained down.

Zombies fell in droves.
