Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 961, Lilith Calls

Outside the window, the cold wind blew snowflakes against the glass.

The hot air from the air conditioner in the room melted the snowflakes on Li Yahong's shoulders.

Li Yahong narrowed her eyes and moved closer. "Have you been using skin care products recently?"

"Ah?" Wu Heng touched his face subconsciously, "Where is that thing?"

But he immediately realized that it was because he absorbed the elf genes yesterday.

I haven't seen Li Yahong for a while, and I can see the changes at a glance.

"Your skin is in amazing condition, and your temperament seems to be different too." Li Yahong raised her eyebrows, "Why? Your skin has improved even when you are away from us?"

"Born beautiful!" Wu Heng joked with a smile.

"Bullshit!" Li Yahong cursed with a smile, and turned to look at the skeleton standing quietly beside him, "Does it meet the standards you mentioned?"

Li Yahong didn't quite understand either, but she knew that Wu Heng wanted to make this skeleton reach a certain level.

"It fits. I'll keep this skeleton. You can arrange for the other one as well." Wu Heng said, waving his hand, "Come in."

The second Pope Skeleton walked in, also in a robe, standing straight to one side.

"Follow her and she will arrange a place for you to be promoted. You must obey her orders." Wu Heng instructed the skeleton, and then looked at Li Yahong, "The name is Corn Sword Saint No. 2. Just call him by his name from now on."

"What a weird name?" Li Yahong frowned.

"Corn Sword Master No. 2, a name Xiaoxiao gave me." Wu Heng repeated.

"Uh..., it does fit Xiaoxiao's thinking." Li Yahong showed the expression I had guessed.

While they were talking, Xiao Xiao also flew back and greeted happily, "Auntie! When did you get here?"

Benny still remained invisible and had no intention of showing up.

"Just arrived. Xiaoxiao went out to play." Li Yahong smiled.

"No~! I went to the prison to supervise the zombies. I also have my own job." Xiaoxiao pinched her waist.

Li Yahong's smile became even wider. She glanced at Wu Heng with her peripheral vision, her eyes revealing a look that said, "You are bullying a child."

Xiao Xiao's gaze fell on the previous Pope again, "Is this the first Pope?"

Li Yahong asked, "Isn't he called Corn Sword Saint?"

"My name is Corn Sword Saint." Xiao Xiao explained immediately.

Li Yahong didn't think much about what the kid said, "I feel like Sword Saint sounds better than Pope."

"Yes, yes~!" Xiaoxiao nodded and laughed.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Yahong opened the lock screen to check the time. "I'm going back first. Call me if you have anything."

After saying that, he wrapped his down jacket tightly, stood up and walked outside.

Together with Xiao Xiao, Li Yahong sent her to the business car. She then said, "Don't forget about the New Year. If you are going to make a speech, I will prepare a teleprompter for you."

"Make sure you're there on time." Wu Heng smiled and waved his hand.

"Bye~! Just a little bye!" Li Yahong waved to the man and the soul.

"Goodbye, Auntie. Tell my mother I'll go see her in a few days."

"it is good!"

The car door closed and the business car turned around and left.

……

Return to the monitoring room.

Xiaoxiao flew around the level 20 Pope and said, "It's leveling up too fast!"

Before, the several skeletons around Wu Heng upgraded very slowly, including the skeleton wanderer Kranmu and the boxer Kashu.

When being replaced, it remains at the original level.

Glenda said: "The previous skeletons were responsible for protecting your uncle and had no time to arrange for them to upgrade."

"Then let's transfer the Drifter and the Boxer back!" Xiaoxiao turned around, "Let them also go to the zombie pile to improve their levels."

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Wait until Rentam City is stable, then transfer them back."

Then he continued, "Has the level of the zombies changed?"

"No!" Xiao Xiao rubbed his chin, "I suggest that we feed the corpse core in the time of a class."

"How long is your class?"

"40 minutes." Xiaoxiao replied.

"If you feed them so frequently, they will be stuffed to death," Wu Heng said.

"They are not human, how could they die of overeating?" Xiaoxiao muttered.

But he was soon attracted by the topic of Glenda and Benny talking about the Pope's skull, and flew over to join in.

Wu Heng sat in the monitoring room and waited for a while.

Nothing happened, so I called the ghosts back to Treasure Island.

……

Come down from upstairs.

The maids sat in the lobby on the first floor and chatted.

Seeing Wu Heng coming down, they shouted "Master" in unison.

Wu Heng nodded and said, "Minnie, go to the association when you have time and order some professional scrolls. They will be useful to me."

"Master, what kind of job do you want?"

"Mainly machine operators, alchemists and investigators." Wu Heng said.

"I'll pack it up and go to the association to decide." Minnie nodded in response.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, just go when you are free."

"Okay, master."

Chatted with the maids in the living room for a while.

Xiaoxiao manipulated the puppet and ran down from upstairs, "Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to check the database?"

"Let's go!" Wu Heng stood up, and with Xiao Xiao releasing the [Teleportation Technique], he headed for the office residence where the database was built.

Inside the office residence.

In the dim hall, blue light shone from dozens of monitors, illuminating the white skeletons of the skeletons.

The dry fingers tapped on the keyboard, making a crisp "clacking" sound.

"How's the input of the information sent by Hongwen going?" Wu Heng walked to the main control and asked the working skeleton.

The skeleton investigator in charge raised his skull and pointed to the white speaker in the corner.

Xiao Xiao manipulated the puppet and ran over, turned around and said, "It's Xiao Ai."

"I'm here!" A familiar electronic female voice sounded, and the ring-shaped light strip on the top of the speaker glowed blue.

Glenda and Bernie were both stunned. Glenda said, "A strange object? A strange object with consciousness?"

I’ve come across this last time, the Dwarf Chief’s Adventure Board.

Wu Heng, Granda and the others learned that there were strange creatures with consciousness that could speak and do things.

The sudden sound of the answer made Glenda and Benny immediately think of this strange object.

"Play My Little Pony." Xiaoxiao said close to the speaker.

The speaker's light turned into a vibrant rainbow color: "Searching for you..., local storage version detected, playing My Little Pony: Rainbow Little Pony below."

Music blasted from the speakers, echoing throughout the office space.

"Student Xiao Ai." Wu Heng said.

"I'm here!"

"Stop play."

The music stopped and the room became quiet.

"Isn't it nice to listen to?" Xiaoxiao ran back.

"Ask about some things in this world and check the information of Hongwen Society. Can it be retrieved?" Wu Heng continued.

All the information of the modern world was originally stored in it.

The main thing is whether the information here can be used.

"I don't know what to ask!" Xiaoxiao thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out what to ask.

Wu Heng said: "Xiao Ai, please introduce some of the northern Yeke Kingdom..."

Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Ai, Toad Week!"

The light strip above the speaker lit up again, "Searching for you..., local storage version detected, retrieving information for you."

"Toad Week is a local custom in the northern part of the human kingdom. During this week, beautiful girls will kiss frogs in the hope of getting married within the year."

The answer ended. Xiaoxiao and Glenda looked at Wu Heng, and Wu Heng looked at Bernie, "Right?"

Benny nodded. "Almost. It has changed in recent years. Girls can tie ribbons on frogs. If a single boy catches one and the girl is satisfied with you, you can get together right away."

"It seems to be quite accurate." Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao asked: "How do you tell the difference between a frog and a toad? What if you kiss the wrong one?"

Beni raised her eyebrows, "It's easy to recognize."

"Sister, have you ever kissed me?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Benny turned her head away, "Don't ask questions like that, kid."

Glenda focused his attention on the speaker in front of him and asked, "So, is this a strange item or not?"

She already understood the purpose, and also knew why Wu Heng was so persistent in building this database.

If there is anything you need to check in the future, you can directly ask about this thing.

Wu Heng said: "It's not a strange thing, it's also a product of modern technology, just like the tablet you watch can make sounds, but it can receive what is said outside and then respond."

Glenda understood a little bit, "It's amazing."

Benny stopped arguing with the child and flew over to say, "So from now on, can we just talk to this thing and communicate with it?"

"It shouldn't work. Electronic products can't receive the voice of ghosts. You can try it." Wu Heng said.

Benny moved closer carefully and imitated Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoai classmate."

The sound remained unchanged.

"It really doesn't work." said Benny.

"It's okay, it's the same using a doll." Wu Heng comforted.

Then, he tried to ask about the elves' poetry, potion formulas, and the dwarves' forging competition.

Some of the things that I have heard in this world can be retrieved from the database.

The effect is still very good.

After the experiment, Wu Heng patted the skeleton on the shoulder and said, "Well done. I'll let you know if there's anything you need later."

The skeleton saluted slightly.

After the experiment, Wu Heng returned with Xiao Xiao and Youhun.

……

After dinner.

The setting sun shone through the window as Wu Heng sat on the sofa drinking tea.

From the direction of the courtyard, the laughter of the maids playing shuttlecock could be heard.

Ring ring ring~!

At this moment, the cell phone rang. I put down the teacup, picked it up and took a look. It was Lilith's number.

Sure enough it's okay!

You're just worrying for nothing.

After answering the phone, Lilith's cold voice came from the other end, "How are you doing over there?"

"Solved." Wu Heng's tone was also very calm. "The Pope was killed, and the religious leader's body died. Only his soul was saved by the association that arrived later."

Suddenly, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Leader Lilith...is asleep?" Wu Heng reminded softly.

"You..." Lilith's voice finally rang out, and she said in a confirming tone, "You killed the Pope by yourself, and almost killed the religious leader?"

"Almost a double kill!" Wu Heng took a sip of tea, "What about you?"

The other party paused for two or three seconds, then said softly, "I'm still processing it, and it's not going smoothly."

Wu Heng frowned and switched directly to a video call.

After hesitating for several seconds, the camera turned on. Lilith in the picture was as pale as paper, and the old butler behind her had lost an arm, with blood oozing from the bandage.

Seeing that the camera was turned on, the old butler saluted slightly.

Injuries like broken limbs cannot be healed by medicine.

"How many heroes?" Wu Heng frowned.

"Just one, the leader of the previous generation I told you about." Lilith replied.

Wu Heng was puzzled, "You didn't fight this time?"

He was able to snatch Lilith’s position as leader, so how could he not be able to defeat her this time?

Moreover, the other party has been exiled for such a long time, can he still practice while being sealed in a coffin?
Why do I feel like I can’t understand?
Lilith bit her lower lip. "When I went back, he had already obtained tokens from several other families and a rare item of the vampires called the 'Scarlet Scepter'. It can only be used by vampires and also has a suppressive effect on vampires of the same clan."

Wu Heng understood and said, "You mean, he got this weapon, so he has the power to defeat you."

"I defeated him before partly because of this weapon," Lilith said.

"Then why don't you carry it with you?" Wu Heng asked curiously.

"This weapon is placed in the Church of Holy Ashes as a scepter for managing the vampires." Lilith was unwilling to say more and only mentioned it briefly.

Wu Heng also understood the meaning.

That is, this weapon has the power to suppress the vampires, and only the vampires can use it.
The opponent got the weapon and suppressed Lilith.

"Didn't you use the grenades and rockets I gave you?" Wu Heng asked again.

Lilith's eyes were a little evasive. "I used it later, but the other party was prepared and it didn't achieve the desired effect."

Wu Heng was speechless. To deal with heroes, you have to use it in advance, or launch a sneak attack and bomb first.

When the two sides have already engaged in battle, the other side is ready. Not to mention whether grenades can be thrown, it is also difficult for rockets to hit the target.

It becomes meaningless.

Wu Heng asked: "Are you safe now?"

"It's relatively safe. We have left the area where the foggy city is. I have requested support from our headquarters. We will just have to wait for Hadarai to arrange people to come over." Lilith replied.

Wu Heng leaned back in his chair, thinking rapidly in his mind.

Then he said, "The two leaders of Hongwenhui and Hunters came to the Emerald Sea to lead the team. They should be on their way back to the headquarters. The headquarters needs people to stay behind. If they want to support you, it will take at least half a month."

Lilith's brows also frowned instantly.

Wu Heng continued, "Tell me the name of the city you are in, and I will go to help you."

"You come over? What about Treasure Island?" Lilith frowned even deeper.

Wu Heng said: "I just defeated the Holy See. It is impossible for other heroes to attack Treasure Island at this time. If we make good use of the time, there won't be any problems."

Lilith's expression changed a little, and then she said, "Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

"How is that possible? We will not die. Only the enemy will die." Wu Heng said in a firm tone.

Lilith hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay, the location is 'Shadow Kiss Valley', what should I do?"

"The ghost train may not have recorded that place. When you go out later and use your ticket, the train will record your place and I will go there then." Wu Heng said.

Lilith nodded again, "I'll use it later."

"I'll make arrangements here and I'll leave tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you!" Lilith thanked immediately.

Before hanging up, Wu Heng gave one last reminder, "Hold on, as long as you're not dead, I can rescue you."

"Hmph!" Lilith snorted and hung up the phone.

It was gradually getting dark outside the window. Wu Heng put away his phone and went upstairs to his study.

……

inside the room.

Glenda was reading a book, the queen was watching a palace fighting drama, and the Corn Sword Master stood upright beside them.

Wu Heng sat down and said to Glenda, "We have to go to the vampire clan tomorrow."

"Is Lilith in danger?" Glenda glanced over.

“I really haven’t fought.”

Glenda thought for a moment and said, "Saving Lilith will also help you. I think we should support her."

"I think so too." Wu Heng said, and then looked at the queen again, "Queen, it's not a good idea to go on like this every day. Why don't you consider becoming my ghost?"

The ghost who was watching the palace fighting drama suddenly became serious, and his eyes narrowed into slits, "Is this your purpose?"

“Think about it!”

The queen's eyes rolled, and she continued, "I want to go to a place where I used to live. If you can take me there, I will agree to it."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Do you keep your word?"

"The truth is."
