Chapter 315: Chapter 260, she might join us
Wu Heng had also considered coming over at night by himself.
Secretly taking away the organs.
But upon careful thought, he realized he might not be able to complete the dissection and extraction of the organs on his own.
Although the “Book of Necromancy” did indeed have relevant descriptions, he had never truly practiced it.
So, at first, he needed these coroners to complete the task.
“What is the procedure needed?” Wu Heng asked.
The coroner immediately explained, “The distribution of the body and the extraction of organs all require the steward’s approval.”
The steward’s approval was needed.
When he was in Black Stone Town, Bawudong’s organs had been extracted.
It must have been the steward ‘Yazde’ who directly ordered the extraction.
And the vice-executive didn’t have that authority, which was actually quite understandable.
In many places, the vice-executive would appoint some local figures with high prestige as honorary vice-executives; it was impossible to let them have the right to dispose of bodies at will.
Wu Heng didn’t make it difficult for them.
He said directly, “You guys wait here for a moment, I’ll talk to the steward about this matter.”
“Yes, Deputy Steward!” Both men nodded.
…
Wu Heng returned to his office study.
When Andre Willow saw him come back, she began to pack up things, ready to leave work.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Heng said, “Wei’er, could you go to the steward and say that I need a skeleton attendant skilled in water, and request yesterday night’s pirate corpses for myself?”
Instead of just needing the organs, it might be better to ask for the entire body.
If the other party agreed, then the organs would also belong to him. If they did not agree, he could then step back and raise the issue of wanting the organs.
“Yes, Master.” Andre Willow nodded and left immediately.
Before long, Andre Willow returned with the documents in hand.
“How did it go?” Wu Heng asked.
“The steward agreed.”
Wu Heng took the document from her hand, which contained the instructions for the distribution of the body.
It wasn’t as difficult as he had imagined.
“Did the steward say anything else?”
“He said to follow the association’s procedures in doing things.”
Hmm?
For a necromancer to apply to the association for a body was already very by the book.
“Let’s go get the body.”
…
He returned to the mortuary.
The two coroners were still performing their own work.
Wu Heng handed them the document, saying, “Proceed with the organ extraction!”
The coroners glanced at it and conferred with a person nearby.
It wasn’t a permit for extracting organs, but a directive to allocate the entire body to him.
It appeared that this also gave him the right to dispose of the body.
After a brief consultation, they began the work of removing the organs.
With a sharp scalpel cutting open the chest cavity, they extracted all kinds of organs.
Wu Heng then took out an ‘Organ Jar,’ and after the coroners cleaned the organs, they packed them directly into it.
Covering the jar, the Organ Jar sealed itself automatically.
The two coroners continued to sew up the body’s chest cavity.
“Do you have a straw mat? Wrap it up.”
“Yes!”
“Wrap up the body. I’ll take it with me!”
The coroners fetched a straw mat from the corner of the room.
And wrapped the body with it.
Wu Heng stored the body in his Space Ring, took out a few silver coins, and placed them in the palms of the two men, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Seeing the unexpected reward, both men showed smiles, “Of course, Deputy Steward.”
“Mhm, if there’s nothing else, you can leave early, too.”
Both of them paid their respects and watched Wu Heng and Andre Willow leave.
…
They returned to their residence.
Mini came forward to greet the two of them.
After Wu Heng had changed his clothes, he walked inside with her on his arm.
She whispered, “Did Wei’er sister tell you about the mansion? The renovation is really nice, the whole place is shiny.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wu Heng withdrew his arm, wrapped it around her shoulder, “How much longer until it’s finished?”
“It seems like it’ll take another five or six days,” Mini said, and then continued, “Master, when it’s time, let’s plant some vegetables in the yard, so we won’t have to go out to buy them.”
“There’s no need to be so frugal.”
“And plant a fruit tree; we could build a bird’s nest in it.”
Seeing the Bunny Girl discuss this happily made Wu Heng smile, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
Mini giggled with delight while Andre Willow organized the coat rack a bit and then came in as well.
She helped Mini prepare dinner.
…
At the harbor, on a docked cargo ship.
In the dimly lit cabin, a few Illuminating Stones hung from the ceiling.
Under the soft glow of the lights, a man with brown hair dressed in a black suit sat silently on a wooden chair outside of an iron cage.
That’s when footsteps sounded.
An old man dressed as a captain came down from above.
With a slight bow, “Master, I’ve gathered some information. Last night, it was people from the association’s three squads, they got wind of ‘Lieu’ and came to capture him.”
“Ha, useless!” the man cursed and continued, “What about those girls?”
“The association’s people took them away.”
“Meddlesome fools. Buy more new people and bring them in, don’t delay the party’s timing.” He pulled out a pristine handkerchief and lightly wiped his palms.
“Yes, master,” the old man replied.
Just as the old man was about to turn and leave, the man spoke again, “Judging by the time, that Wu Heng should be nearly at Yeko Kingdom’s harbor by now. Send word to the Pirate Group there; a head of his would be worth 20 Gold Coins, and the two Special Items on him can be priced separately.”
Upon hearing the 20 Gold Coins.
The old man’s eyes also lit up.
The man smiled and said, “This money isn’t easy to earn, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who’ve fallen at his hands.”
“Yes, master, I will spread the word tonight.”
“Go!”
…
After dinner.
Mini and Andre Willow went downstairs to the training room to train.
With skeletons accompanying them, and being inside the association’s premises, there was no chance of danger.
Wu Heng, through the boundary door, went directly to the Zombie World.
The sky was already darkening here as well.
The survivors of the base began to pack up, preparing to close the gates of the passenger station.
Stepping out of the building, Li Yahong received the message and came over from not too far away.
Handing over two Elixirs, “Those two Corpse Cores have been sent over to the prison, these are from the newly acquired Alchemy Skeleton.”
Wu Heng took them and stored them inside the Space Ring.
At the same time, he pondered if he should bring over the Alchemy Skeleton.
Such back-and-forth trips were always a bit of a hassle.
But then again, the production of Elixirs wasn’t that frequent.
For more than a month before, there weren’t many Elixirs, and only in the last few days had they started to come over steadily.
Moreover, the Alchemy Laboratory was also located near the prison, making transportation a bit cumbersome.
He didn’t continue to dwell on this.
He asked, “There haven’t been any issues with scavenging, right?”
“No problem. The sparse zombies in the residential area don’t pose much of a threat. We’re armed with Crossbow Arrows, and as long as we stay alert, killing a few isn’t an issue,” Li Yahong confidently stated.
The Strong crossbow was easy to operate and quite powerful.
Although one shot might not kill, but with a few people grouped together, it wasn’t difficult to eliminate them.
Next, Li Yahong continued, “Recently, ‘Qi Hancai’ has been coming around more frequently, subtly inquiring about the recruitment of survivors.
…Hmm, I suspect, does she want to join us?”
