The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 287: Chapter 238: I’ll Retrieve it for You _2

Ereno immediately said: “Keep him closely monitored. Inform me immediately if he attempts to leave Lundham City.”

“Yes, sir.” The servant dashed off.

The burly man across the room pulled a maid into his arms, his questioning gaze raised, “What happened?”

“That Wu Heng has been transferred away by the Association, he’s leaving in a few days.”

The man’s eyes lit up, “Oh? Really?”

“It’s definite. Once he’s gone, everything will be easier.”

The man thought for a moment then said, “Alright then, have my army move into the city. Once he leaves, I’ll help you reclaim half the city.”

“Upon success, I will share 20% of the profit with you each year.”

“Agreed!” The man stood up, lightly tapping on the maid, “Come to my room.”

…

At the Association, inside the team’s rest room.

Three team members had already returned.

Wu Heng first explained his impending transfer.

Before he could say anything else, Duke cried out in shock, “Ah? Captain, aren’t you the Vice-executive here? What are we going to do without you?”

“You’ll be the new leader of Team 12.”

“Ah? Me a team leader? I can’t handle that!” Duke exclaimed in surprise again.

Galo Berley, sitting nearby, covered his ears and motioned for Duke to sit down, “Captain, where have you been transferred to?”

Wu Heng replied, “Gold and Silver Island, over at the Dazzling Sea.”

The other two members exchanged a glance, seemingly unfamiliar with the place.

In this world, transportation is not as developed as in modern times. Most places are unfamiliar, let alone visited.

“Do you plan to go there?” Galo Berley continued to ask.

“Yes, the appointment letter has arrived, there’s no other choice.”

Duke scratched his head, “Why not give up the Vice-executive position and continue being our team captain!”

Galo Berley countered, “Everyone seeks promotion, not demotion.”

“Captain, I’m going to miss you.” Duke said.

“I’m being transferred, not dead. What’s there to miss? As the new team leader, make sure you keep everyone safe and be careful during missions.” Wu Heng advised.

Duke resumed scratching his head, “I can’t do it, why not let Mata take over!”

Wu Heng remarked: “They both have enough merit. In due time, they will become team leaders, there’s no need for you to step aside.”

“Captain, do you have any tips or tricks? Write them down for me, I’ll memorise them when I get home.”

“There’s no special trick. Just improve your own capabilities and avoid taking missions beyond your abilities.”

“But that’s not like when you were leading us.”

A few of them sat together and chatted for a while.

Wu Heng continued: “Don’t forget to claim the Association’s reward items for everyone in the next few days, Duke.”

“Oh, okay.”

Wu Heng stood up again, “Don’t be so gloomy, this is a good thing in the end. Let’s all go have a good meal.”

Everyone nodded and followed him out.

The atmosphere remained somewhat heavy.

…

When he returned home, it was nearly dusk.

He sat in the living room for a while.

Three of his maids returned home one after another.

Seeing Wu Heng at home, they all smiled.

“Master!”

Wu Heng nodded, seeing Mini tie on her apron to prepare dinner, he immediately said, “Wait, Mini, I have something to discuss with you all.”

“Oh.”

Mini poured water for everyone.

Andre Willow and Wen Mansha also sat down.

Wu Heng began: “The Association’s appointment letter has come. I’m now the Vice-executive.”

“Really? That’s great.”

“Master is finally Vice-executive.”

“Congratulations, master.”

The three women were elated, showering him with compliments.

The position of Vice-executive had significant relevance within the Association. It granted greater authority and attention.

Seeing Wu Heng’s solemn expression, they sensed that something was wrong and quieted down.

Wu Heng brought out the appointment letter and continued: “But there is a change in the role. Instead of being local, it’s in a place called Gold and Silver Island.”

Mini and Andre Willow didn’t show any change in expression, as they didn’t immediately grasp the situation.

Wen Mansha’s face changed slightly, “Master, are you leaving here?”

Upon hearing this, Mini and Andre Willow realised that the appointment wasn’t in Lundham City, which meant Wu Heng was being transferred.

In that case…

Wu Heng nodded, “Yes, I officially start in a month.”

This…

All three women frowned.

“Master, what do you plan to do?” Wen Mansha continued.

Wu Heng took a deep breath and asked, “What do you think?”

There were essentially two options.

One was to accept the Vice-executive position, but he wouldn’t be able to look after things in Lundham city. As soon as he left, it was highly likely he’d lose half the city.

The second was to stay and be the city lord. Half the city was enough to sustain his future life.

Moreover, the synergistic effect with Zombie World could allow him to act like a local king. But without the status of the association, he would be no different from the current city lord, ‘Ereno’.

If one day, a stronger force discovered this place, it’s highly likely they would seize it.

The three women pondered with furrowed brows.

Wen Mansha broke the silence, “We can’t lose the status of Vice-executive. This status grants access to more information and privileges, something beyond the scope of a city lord.”

“What about Lundham City?” Andre Willow asked.

“That depends on master!” Wen Mansha lifted her gaze.

Leaning back on the sofa, Wu Heng made eye contact with her and said, “Wen Mansha, you will be the city lord.”

“I want to go with you!”

“We don’t know what the situation is like on Gold and Silver Island. Maybe the location isn’t good. After a few years, I might request a transfer back, so we can’t abandon this place.” Wu Heng explained.

“I may not be capable enough.”

“I can’t trust anyone else. Only you would give me peace of mind.”

Blushing, Wen Mansha responded, “I might be able to manage a guild, but I’m not sure I can handle managing a city.”

“No worries. We’ll strategize before leaving.”

“What if…if I can’t handle it well?” Wen Mansha asked uneasily.

“Then I’ll come and get you. We’ll go to Gold and Silver Island together.”

Wen Mansha thought in silence for a while before finally agreeing, “Alright, I’ll do my best.”

“Wen Mansha is the most courageous woman I’ve ever seen. You can do it.” Mini chimed in.

“I’m actually quite envious of you, being able to leave with him.”

With everything said and done.

Mini got up to prepare dinner.

Wu Heng added: “You guys eat dinner here. Duke and I are eating out tonight. Remember to lock the door.”

“Okay!”

After giving instructions, Wu Heng headed out.

…

Wu Heng left the building.

He got on his tricycle and left Lundham city straight away.

Upon reaching a secluded area.

He took out the [Train Captain’s Hat] and put it on.

Woo~!

The sound of a train whistle echoed, and a military green train appeared.

With a clatter, the train door opened.

Wu Heng boarded and picked up a timetable from one side, writing down ‘Black Stone Town’.

The door closed and the train disappeared.
