Chapter 256: Chapter 215, Amplification Weakening_1

Solar panels?

Wu Heng pondered for a bit before realizing it referred to solar panels.

It’s actually quite common. The street lights in the housing estate are of this kind.

But for ordinary people, there is not much use for it.

He had seen some videos about these solar panels being laid on rooftops to provide electricity for the entire building.

However, such things are usually set up in villas or bungalows.

In places like housing complexes, it’s not possible to install solar panels on a large scale.

It’s understandable that shelters want to attack such factories.

In the current situation, most shelters are having power supply issues.

Without electricity, modern people’s lifestyle is not much different from primitive people, and solar panels are a good choice.

At least it’s simpler than wind power or thermal power generation.

“There’s a factory like this locally?” Wu Heng asked.

“From what they were saying, they seem to know such a place, and have probably already sent people to scout ahead,” Li Yahong recalled with a frown, continuing, “It seems there are level two mutated zombies inside, they need to cooperate with other shelters, and the spoils of war will be divided evenly.”

Wu Heng had never heard of such a factory.

But their assertion suggests they have confirmed information, they might even have someone from the shelter who used to work there.

“When are they leaving?”

“I’m not sure, I just overheard them discussing it, do you want me to ask?” said Li Yahong.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, “Ask, see how they’re planning.”

“Okay, I’ll ask later.” Li Yahong glanced back at the convoy and asked, “Shall we have dinner together?”

As the convoy is temporarily staying at the bus station, it no longer needs to return.

“No thanks, you guys get settled. I’ll find you when I’m free in the evening,” Wu Heng replied.

“Okay, I’ll go arrange them first.”

“Okay!”

Li Yahong waved her hand and walked towards the convoy.

…

After Li Yahong left, Wu Heng also returned to his room.

Returning to his residence through the boundary door.

Hearing Mini and Andre Willow’s cooking downstairs, Wu Heng went straight into the study, placing the potion he obtained today on the table.

Besides the one he gave to Li Yahong, he still has five bottles left.

He thought for a moment, opened a bottle, and drank it all.

A warm sensation spread from his stomach, then the prompt appeared.

[Strength +1.]

This time only one attribute increased.

After the discomfort from the potion disappeared, he continued with the second bottle and drank it down.

[Constitution +1.]

Still increased by only one point.

It appears that the effect of the first-stage corpse core potion is fixed at one attribute point.

In the beginning, when he used the corpse core, three points were added. Once he reached about level 5, it reduced to two points.

Now it’s only one point.

The effect’s reduction was somewhat significant.

If his attributes continue to strengthen, he might not be able to gain even one point. At that time, he will need to consume second-level corpse core to continue increasing attributes.

However, the second-level corpse core potion is still being researched and he isn’t sure when it would be ready.

Looking at the remaining three potions, Wu Heng decided not to use them.

The effects of self-use are relatively small.

It’s better to be used to enhance the strength of the people around him.

Their increase in strength can also help them to complete their tasks better.

He put away the three potions and pulled up his attribute panel.

[Name: Wu Heng]

[Level: Level 10]

[Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 25, Constitution 28, Intelligence 30, Perception 18, Charm 26]

[Specialties: …, Arcane Training, Knowledge of Souls, Knowledge of Haunting, Magic Perception, Arcane Echo, Necromantic Scholar, Undead Adaptation.]

[Skills: Greyhawk Swordsmanship (Beginner), Enhanced Will, Soul Sense.]

[Abilities: Bone Manipulation Skill, …, Bone Armored, Corpse Cage.]

Looking at the attributes on the panel, Wu Heng started to think.

According to the standard occupation improvement, his attribute improvement wasn’t slow.

Out of six attributes, five are not low. Even in terms of strength and constitution, he is not inferior to melee occupations at the same level.

The only slightly weak one is perception, only with 18 points.

Perception corresponds to intuition and the quantification of senses, simply put, it’s your observation and insight.

In combat, finding hidden enemies or traps along the way depends on your perception.

In this regard, he really isn’t very strong.

However, for Wu Heng, there are ways to make up for it.

After all, his two spirits can fully act as scouts, to investigate dangerous situations or unknown areas in advance.

This has always been his practice.

Having spirits to replace doesn’t mean that this attribute is useless, if there’s chance, he should try to improve it.

Sitting at the desk thinking for a while, a shout from Mini downstairs could be heard.

“Master, dinner is ready~!”

…

Going downstairs.

Wen Mansha had also returned from outside.

The four of them sat at the dining table, eating dinner.

Wen Mansha was eating slowly, then she spoke, “Master, there are no people spreading those negative rumors anymore, and our flyers have been fully distributed. We have also arranged for gang members to read the contents to the residents in some places.”

“Hmm, continue as planned, and also be careful of any movements from ‘Ereno’. He might stir up some trouble,” said Wu Heng.

Wen Mansha nodded, “Alright, I’ll have someone keep an eye on it.”

“By the way, have we found any information about this Mumloda person?” Wu Heng abruptly asked.

“Not yet, we’re slightly short-handed right now so gathering information might take a bit longer.”

Wu Heng took a drink from his cup before continuing, “Properly investigate this person. He must be rather influential in the city. Also, arrange someone to monitor ‘Burke’s’ residence and keep an eye on anyone he associates with.”

“Alright, I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”

…

After dinner…

They gathered in the living room for a chat.

It seemed that Wen Mansha was enjoying this kind of life, resting her chin on her hand, watching Andre Willow teaching Mini how to write.

It was somewhat cold in the gang’s territory and she used to live alone there.

It was livelier here.

When Mini completed her writing task and was complaining about a cramp in her hand…

Wu Heng presented three vials of potion.

He said, “These are potions to enhance your constitution. You each get one.”

Wen Mansha had tried this kind of potion before, a concoction so precious it could directly alter the constitution of a person. Her face was filled with surprise and joy, “Thank you, master.”

She rose to her feet to take the potion, pecked Wu Heng on the cheek as she settled back down.

Andre Willow and Mini were encountering this for the first time, but seeing how joyous Wen Mansha was, they understood that this potion was nothing ordinary.

Otherwise, someone of Wen Mansha’s standing within the gang wouldn’t have been so excited.

Both Andre Willow and Mini picked up a vial each, holding it in their hands.

Wu Heng said, “Good, you can drink it now.”

They shared glances between them…

Opened the vial, tipped their heads back and drank the contents.

Wen Mansha and Andre Willow turned red as if they had a fever, however, the symptom disappeared rapidly.

They stared at their own hands, seemingly feeling the changes to their bodies.

Whereas the effects were more obvious for Mini.

Her body turned red, her bare arms and legs began to exhibit the presence of purple veins. She looked in great pain, groaning softly as she curled up on the couch.

Andre Willow was startled, she quickly ran over to check on her.

Wu Heng also lifted Mini’s clothes to take a check…

Compared to his first experience of taking the potion, her symptoms were much milder.

In less than a minute, all of Mini’s symptoms vanished.

She stretched her body suddenly, nearly knocking Wu Heng and Andre Willow over.

“Are you alright?” asked Wu Heng.

Mini took a moment to feel her body and responded, “I think I’m fine now, it was so uncomfortable just now, felt like my blood vessels were on fire.”

“And now?”

“Now it feels like my body is filled with power.”

As she said that, she delivered two quick punches…

A gust of wind trailed her fists.

Wu Heng looked at the others, “How about you two?”

Wen Mansha shrugged, “Such a good potion is bound to have effects.”

Andre Willow nodded in agreement, “I feel like I’ve improved as well, but I can’t pinpoint where exactly.”

The potion mainly amplified three attributes: strength, constitution, and agility.

No matter which aspect it boosted, it would be beneficial to all three of them.

“Alright, as long as there are effects that’s good enough. Be more disciplined in your training from now on, especially Mini, you need to work even harder,” Wu Heng said.

Mini pouted, “Why are you singling me out, I am already putting in lots of effort.”

The group chatted for a while in the living room…

Wen Mansha cast a glance at Wu Heng, “Master, would you like to join me for a bath?”

He shook his head, “No, I think I’ll study some magic tonight, I’ll stay in my room.”

“Alright then, I’m retiring to my room for the night!” Wen Mansha yawned and headed upstairs.

After tidying up the living room, Mini and Andre Willow also head upstairs.

All three of them retired for the night.

Back in his room, Wu Heng…

passed through the boundary door and returned to the Zombie World.

…

Night had fallen…

Several large lamps were set up in the passenger station.

Inside the yard, Qiangzi and his group could be seen changing tires next to a truck.

Watching them for a while from the window…

Wu Heng picked up the walkie-talkie and called out directly, “Li Yahong, have you made contact with the Flame God Shelter?”

Over the radio came a response, “Yes, I’ll come by to update you about the situation.”

“Alright.”

Shortly after, footsteps sounded and then came a knock on the door.

When Wu Heng opened the door, he saw Li Yahong standing outside.

“Come in,” Wu Heng invited her in.

As soon as she stepped in, Li Yahong threw herself into his embrace, pressing her lips onto his.

After a lengthy shared kiss, they slowly separated.

Wu Heng pulled her onto his lap on the bed and asked, “What did the Flame God Shelter say?”

The military truck had a built-in radio that proved to be more effective than the ones they were using previously.

Therefore, even after leaving the shelter, they could still maintain contact with the outside world and gather information.

Li Yahong explained, “The Flame God Shelter has made an agreement with the other shelters to assemble at the factory area tomorrow.”
