Chapter 667: Chapter 540, The military factory in Xinfu City lies ahead (first update)_2 Chapter 667: Chapter 540, The military factory in Xinfu City lies ahead (first update)_2 With a stocky and robust figure, exposed arms were exaggerated muscles.

Short hair, deep-set brows, a face covered by a long beard.

The beard was meticulously groomed, even adorned with a beard buckle inlaid with rubies.

Xi Ligui directly introduced, “Dwarf Race–Gadain, a level 12 dwarven warrior.”

Then she turned to introduce another, “Wu Heng, Island Master of Gold and Silver Island, Flag-bearer of the Emerald Sea.”

“Island Master.”

“Welcome to Gold and Silver Island.”

The two greeted each other and curiously examined each other’s attire.

Xi Ligui continued, “Get to know each other, so that when there’s action on the island, you can look out for one another.”

“Yes, Steward,” the two Vice-executives nodded.

“Alright, you can go on now, arrange your accommodations, and come back later to officially take up your posts at the association.”

“Yes.”

The two saluted again and directly left the study.

Once again only the two of them were left in the study, Xi Ligui asked, “What do you think?”

“Pretty good, looks quite steady and reliable.”

Xu Ligui’s eyebrows rose, “You say that, and he does seem much steadier than when we joined.”

When Imilo was in charge of the association, the entire association had a more youthful feel.

Wu Heng wasn’t very old, Xi Ligui was just considered an adult among the elf race, especially with a bit of a baby face.

The whole association exuded a youthful vibe.

This time the two Vice-executives, one in his forties with a world-weary look in his eyes, the other with a beard longer than his hair.

The atmosphere of the association suddenly entered middle age.

Wu Heng got up, poured himself a cup of elf flower tea, then asked, “How’s your sister?”

“She’s basically fine now, just got a bit scared,” Xi Ligui’s tone paused a moment, then she added, “I wanted to send her back to our kind, but she didn’t agree.”

Xi Ligui had regretted bringing Shi Yali from their race to Gold and Silver Island when she was attacked.

Now that she was safe, she probably feared future dangers and planned to send her back.

“She’s worried about you!”

“Perhaps, I will talk with her again in the next few days.”

Wu Heng returned to his seat, “I’ll continue to strengthen the defenses on the island; it will be safer in the future.”

“I believe you, but it’s still better for Shi Yali to go back.”

“As long as you and your sister agree, that’s fine,” Wu Heng didn’t persist.

The two chatted in the study for a while.

The association began to close for the day.

Xi Ligui and Wu Heng left the association together, each heading back to their own quarters.

…

Back at the manor, dinner was already served on the table.

Andre Willow said, “Mr. Youssef said that the new area being built this month will be completed soon. Recently, there have been quite a few inquiries about housing and shops on the island. Should we consider pre-selling?”

Youssef was the name of the dwarven designer.

The upcoming completion of the expansion area was mentioned last time.

Indeed, it was time to sell to the public.

“Sure, let’s first delineate the areas and set prices, then we’ll sell them when we’re ready!” Wu Heng said.

“Alright, I will go arrange that,” Andre Willow nodded.

“Also, about those special skeletons in the yard, arrange for them to set up street lamps along the road in the next few days, and have someone coordinate with them.”

“Understood, Master.”

After dinner, they went to the training room for practice.

As dusk fell, they returned to their rooms to rest.

…

Zombie World, provincial rescue team base.

In the dimly lit room, an oval conference table was placed at the center.

People were continuously taking their seats, all looking serious.

At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a green long coat strode in, scanning everyone and said, “I assume you all know about the failure and return of the squad.”

The eyes of the crowd flickered, but no one spoke.

The middle-aged man continued, “From the information provided by those who returned, it’s possible we encountered a Zombie King-level zombie who can control a large swath of the horde, issuing uniform commands with extremely high intelligence.”

Upon hearing this, a subtle murmur arose from below.

“Can’t be that coincidental, can it? I’ve only heard about the Zombie King through headquarters.”

“Yeah, we just entered the city and encountered a Zombie King?”

“The Xinfu City base occupied the airport when it entered the city, how come they didn’t meet a Zombie King?”

“I’ve heard reports from Xinfu City and headquarters about the appearance and characteristics of a Zombie King, maybe they’ve encountered one too.”

“How could that be possible!”

The chief commander at the head banged the table, “Quiet.”

Everyone quieted down and looked back at each other.

“Whether Xinfu City encountered one has nothing to do with us, this time we suffered heavy losses, we need to reassign tasks, form new teams, and specially mark that area to prevent anyone from approaching.”

The crowd nodded, understanding.

The loss was indeed significant, but the problem was not too severe.

As long as the base was still there, they could continue to exchange food with Xinfu City.

Thus, the foundation wouldn’t be shaken.

Tap tap tap–!

In the midst of conversation, urgent footsteps rang out.

A person rushed in saying, “A large number of zombies have been discovered outside the camp, the count is continuously rising, and it’s impossible to estimate how many there are.”

Meeting room members abruptly stood up, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Someone realized, “It wasn’t the convoy escaping but them letting the convoy out to find us.”

“Let’s take a look outside–!”

Everyone quickly left the room, hurried along, and climbed up to the top of the wall.

Under the silver-white moonlight, countless silhouettes could be seen shifting about, not attacking, but standing far away.

And even more figures continued to converge toward the location of the horde.
