The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 147: Chapter 144. Don’t move rashly, beware of accidental discharge_1

The door was tightly shut, isolating them from the outside.

Wu Heng sat down on a nearby chair, and Winnie nestled in his lap, loosening her tight leather armor to make it easier for his hand to slip inside.

“What’s going on?” Wu Heng asked.

Winnie sighed softly with her arm slung over his shoulder. “Last night, Rocky called a meeting, and when they found he was gone this morning, they planned to split up and go their separate ways.”

“What impact will their departure have?”

“We don’t have a lot of gang members to begin with. Once they leave, our overall strength will be reduced by more than half. I don’t mind, as I’m sick of gang life. I just worry it will hinder our intelligence gathering for you,” explained Winnie, loosening her armor a bit more.

“What do you want to do?” Wu Heng asked.

“I hope Master can put some pressure on them, so they’re forced to stay for now. I’ll gradually consolidate some power,” Winnie proposed after some thought.

“Hmm, okay,” Wu Heng agreed, then added, “Fisher is dead. During the post-mortem, the Pinned Gang was mentioned. You say Rocky’s gone – that’s all you need to know.”

“As Master wishes.” Winnie rested her chin on his shoulder, whispering her response. Her soft tongue flicked at his earlobe, before saying again, “Master, would you like to rest a little?”

Wu Heng patted her firmly on the waist, saying, “Stop messing around, we have serious business to attend to.”

“Hehe, alright!” Winnie laughed, still hugging his shoulders, offering him her tongue once more.

The two chatted in the room for a while.

Then they left the room directly.

Outside, Duke, Mata, and others had interrogated the rest of the people.

Duke reported, “Captain, they all claim they know nothing.”

Wu Heng frowned, sweeping a cold gaze over everyone present. “Hmm, dare to lie to me, it seems none of you wish to stay in Lundham City.”

Nobody responded.

He turned his gaze back to Winnie, “Since Rocky is gone, you’re the leader now. I’m warning you, no one is allowed to leave the city until this case is solved. Anyone who leaves without permission will be considered Rocky’s accomplice and they will be wanted.”

“Understood, Captain,” Winnie said, her voice somewhat constrained. She continued, “When can we be back to normal?”

“When we catch Rocky and prove your innocence,” Wu Heng said sternly.

Winnie wiped sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, nodded and replied, “Yes, Captain.”

Wu Heng further looked at the gang’s core members sitting down, “Don’t let me catch any of you doing wrong, let’s go!”

Saying that, Wu Heng walked away with his team members.

When the main door closed,

all the gang members heaved a sigh of relief.

Uncertain, the seniors finally stood to approach.

Respectfully, they asked, “Sis-in-law, it seems the boss really messed up this time. What’s our next step?”

Winnie sat down, crossed her legs, glanced at the members and sighed, “Remember, Rocky ran away, planning to use us as scapegoats. Keep this quiet for now, gather the members. I’ll send someone to investigate in the next few days.”

The members looked at each other, saluted and chorused, “Yes, Sis-in-law!”

…

Returning to the association.

Wu Heng went straight to the steward’s study.

Gomez gestured him to sit down, “Any updates?”

“I just visited the ‘Pinned Gang’. Rocky mentioned by Fisher has fled. We reached when there was a power struggle going on within the gang. Should we catch the others as well?” Wu Heng asked.

Gang chaos in Lundham City.

Each gang has hundreds, if not thousands of members, it’s impossible to catch that many people.

And how could ordinary members kill a veteran Captain?

“Did you find anything?” Gomez continued to ask.

Wu Heng shook his head, “I did a separate investigation, Rocky had left the city for a while before this, only returning last night. He disappeared again after meeting Fisher.”

“What about his family?”

“No real family. Just a woman in the city who knows nothing about this. I told the core members of the gang that they can’t leave the city for now. If needed, we can arrest them anytime.”

Gomez stood up and thought for a while, then instructed, “Keep an eye on the ‘Pinned Gang’. If Rocky reappears, kill him immediately.”

“Okay!”

“Go back for now. Look at the information from other teams these days.”

“Hmm!”

Walking out of the steward’s room, Wu Heng finally let out a breath.

Back in the staff room,

Duke asked again, “Captain, what’s the situation?”

“Nothing much, it doesn’t concern us. Be careful these days, the city looks quite chaotic,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Alright, Captain!”

“Okay, nothing more. Go get some rest!”

The team disbanded and departed from the association.

…

After having dinner at a nearby pub,

Wu Heng returned directly to his residence.

There were noticeably fewer city guards around.

No wonder the operation last night went so smoothly, patrolling had been reduced.

Gleaned from the steward’s comments, the city guard, professional teams, and the four gangs in the Outer City Area had all been diverted to corner and expel the Hammer Party.

In short, the city was understaffed.

After some rest in the room, Wu Heng directly headed to the Zombie World.

In the residential area, a huge swarm of carrion rats prowled within a specific area.

Last night, Wu Heng had used these rats to sneak into Fisher’s residence and kill him.
