Chapter 602: Chapter 496, Go, Stab Him Twice
“You won’t let me go? That’s the exact phrase, isn’t it? It sounds like something out of a cartoon.”
Xiao Xiao circled around the top of my head, “That’s what it means~!”
Wu Heng said, “Come on, let me have a look!”
Xiao Xiao nodded and directly dove into my body.
And the scene from just now was shared from my mind.
Deputy Commander Liu obviously didn’t want to affect the relationship with us over this matter, while the middle-aged man named ‘Qi Anrong’ was representing Boss Huang.
He mentioned that Boss Huang has only this one son and wouldn’t let it go.
It must be Xiao Xiao parroting the words that he wouldn’t let me go.
This father and son surnamed Huang seemed to be quite lucky, at least they both survived when the end of the world broke out.
Many survivors’ family members died in the early stages of the outbreak.
I quickly analyzed the situation in my mind.
The rescue team clearly didn’t want to clash with us since we hold the upper hand in trading for food supplies.
Boss Huang could at most use his personal power to trouble me.
“As long as they don’t destroy the factory, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
With the means I have now,
even hiding in an armored vehicle, wanting to kill me wouldn’t be hard.
Once I was certain they had truly left and posed no threat,
I stood up, opened the boundary door, and stepped right through.
…
Emerald Sea.
The vessel flying the flag of the Mad Lion Pirate Group was desperately fleeing into the distance.
Boom boom boom~!
A nearby ship exploded violently.
Shards sprayed into the sky and clattered into the sea.
The ship began to silently sink beneath the surface.
Pirates falling into the water shouted loudly for help.
Behind them, a ship bearing the flags of Gold and Silver Island and the association followed closely.
Weapons on board were spitting out trails of flames.
Amidst the dense barrage, you could faintly hear shouts like “Die for me, bastards” and “Shoot those sons of bitches” along with manic laughter.
It was like a frenzied mania.
Soon, the Mad Lion Pirate Group was left with just one ship escaping at the forefront.
The captain with the golden explosive hair, ‘Jokim,’ stood on the deck with bulging veins on his forehead, urging over and over, “Hurry, speed up, evade those weapons.”
As he spoke, a dagger sliced his finger.
He smeared the blood on the mermaid carving on the prow, and in an instant, the speed of the ship increased again.
They gradually widened the distance.
At that moment, a Green Parrot flew over first, landing on the side of the ship.
Looking at ‘Jokim,’ it spoke human words, “Jokim, silly bird.”
Jokim’s face turned grim.
During the last battle at Gold and Silver Island, he managed to save his own life by commanding the rear of the fleet.
In recent times, he had finally put together a fleet, only to be found by this lunatic again.
Jokim glanced back.
The noisy discharges from the machinery behind stopped, and the distance between the two ships grew.
It seemed unlikely they would catch up to him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the parrot.
Philippa was definitely using her Tamed Beast to keep an eye on him.
Clenching his teeth, he said, “I’ll come for you one day, and when I do, I’ll break every joint in your body and hang you from the mast to dry into jerky. Even if I can’t find you, I’ll go after everyone close to you, and have them die because of you.”
The parrot glared with big eyes and screeched, “Stupid bird.”
After saying that, it flapped its wings and flew back into the sky, leaving the ship behind.
At the same time, from the crow’s nest, a lookout called out, “Captain, there’s something strange on the right side of the ship.”
Jokim narrowed his eyes and quickly moved to the right to check.
Below the sea’s surface, a giant shark seemingly formed by the water itself was moving alongside the ship.
Then, with a flick of its tail, the giant shark rammed into the side of the ship.
Bang~!
A violent collision sounded, rocking the ship, and the pirates were sent sprawling.
“Attack it, quick!”
The pirates began attacking toward the sea.
Arrows and crossbow bolts pierced its body but caused no harm.
The shark suddenly leaped over the ship, sweeping up a large number of pirates and dropping them into the sea on the other side.
After that, it was an endless series of impacts.
Making it impossible for the ship to maintain its forward speed.
Meanwhile, Philippa stood at the prow, before a machine cannon of immense power, closing in fast.
The parrot flew from her shoulder.
Philippa turned to the machine cannon, aiming it forward.
“Go to hell.”
Bang bang bang~!
A fusillade of explosions sounded, and the Mad Lion pirate ship quickly shattered, collapsing into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Wooden debris floated on the water and the half-sunk wreckage emitted black smoke.
…
The battle was over.
Philippa ordered the salvage of spoils of war, and commanded to fish out both the dead and surviving pirates from the water.
The bodies had to be transferred to Wu Heng for transformation.
These pirates all had decent levels and exhibited notable aquatic traits.
Apart from the bodies,
On the other side were a few injured pirates who were fortunate enough to survive.
Philippa scanned over them and approached Jokim, giving his face a hard smack, “Big boss Jokim, you sure have nine lives, huh? You’re still not dead yet.”
She remembered the time she had been tricked and brought to Pirate Island, forced to kneel on the ground and almost executed then and there.
But now, the roles were reversed, and it was the level 15 captain of a large pirate group, ‘Jokim,’ kneeling before her.
“Philippa, you’re a pirate’s daughter, do you really think the association will accept you? You will never escape this status, and you’ll be discarded sooner or later,” Jokim sneered, flicking the hair covering his eyes away and speaking coldly.
“Bullshit! I’ve been a Secret Speaker for the association from the start, your whole family are the pirates, not me. Forget it, someone like you probably wouldn’t know a Secret Speaker if they bit you,” Philippa said disdainfully.
As for his claim about the association discarding her,
Philippa wasn’t the least bit afraid.
My relationship with Wu Heng is quite good.
“Hmph!” Jokim sneered, his face showing no fear, “If you dare, don’t kill me and see who will be the one who ends up afraid.”
“Now that you mention it, I’m actually not so sure,” Philippa said.
Jokim’s eyes narrowed, his expression growing uglier.
Philippa ordered two Level 15 Skeletons to keep a close watch on him and continued to check the other captives.
When she reached the fifth one.
She paused her steps and frowned at the captive, “Lift your head.”
The kneeling pirate carefully raised his head, eyes darting around.
Philippa frowned, “Babuzzi, you’re alive too? No, what I mean is…how did you end up mixing with them?”
The Flying Fish Pirate Group’s captain, Babuzzi.
Babuzzi awkwardly raised his head and said, “Jokim claimed I was your accomplice and had me captured; I’ve been locked in the cabin for days.”
Philippa looked to the side, at the recovery team members of the association, and nodded slightly.
“Damn that dog,” Philippa stepped forward, untying ‘Babuzzi’ and pulling him to his feet, “I only have you as a friend. Come on, I’ll help you get even.”
Babuzzi stood up, his arms propped and a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
Then, he followed her to where the Mad Lion ‘Jokim’ was.
Philippa pulled out a curved knife from the waist of a nearby Skeleton and handed it to him, “Here, give him a couple of stabs. It’s no problem even if you kill him.”
Babuzzi’s gaze hardened as he looked at the glowering eyes of the Mad Lion ‘Jokim’, hesitating, “This…”
Philippa pushed the knife into his hand, and Babuzzi hesitated for a long time.
Still, he took the knife and approached the other side.
“Babuzzi, she is with the association. If you dare to kill me, you will also suffer the punishment of the sea,” Jokim roared ferociously.
Babuzzi’s eyes grew more resolute, and he said coldly, “The era ruled by the large Pirate Groups is over, you can’t scare me.”
With that, the knife in his hand stabbed directly into the other’s body.
Followed by a second and a third stab.
Blood flowed freely.
Philippa nodded and waved her hand.
The Skeletons slashed the throats of all the surviving pirates.
They lay twitching on the deck.
After all the pirates were dead, Philippa continued, “Roll up all the bodies in straw mats, and after we’ve salvaged the spoils, we’ll set sail back.”
Everyone sprang into action.
Philippa then said to ‘Babuzzi’, “Sorry for the inconvenience. Once we’re back on the island, I’ll speak on your behalf.”
Babuzzi handed back the knife and was led away by the Skeletons to be detained in the cabin.
…
Island Master’s Manor.
Wu Heng stepped out of the study and headed towards the Mechanist’s room.
The Skeletons were very efficient in their work.

Unlike living creatures, they did not need to rest, and they didn’t require light at night, being able to arrange blueprints in the dark.
Wu Heng went over to take a look.
The blueprints for bullets and hand grenades had been reorganized and marked.
Now they were working on organizing the compound bow.
Wu Heng called two Level 15 Skeletons aside and said, “After you arrange the blueprints you’re holding, reorganize these shell blueprints, and the rest are in the next room for you to check. Be careful with fire prevention.”
The Skeleton Mechanists picked up the blueprints to glance at them.
Then set them aside and continued working on the compound bow.
Wu Heng looked on for a bit and then left the room.
He went downstairs and chatted with Mini for a while.
Waited for Andre Willow to return and had dinner together.
Then went back to his room to rest.
…
The next day, in the morning.
Wu Heng sent all the collected engineering vehicles to the construction site.
The expansion of the peripheral areas of the small island began.
When the Dwarf Engineer and several other living creature engineers saw engines roaring, easily moving boulders, and leveling paths.
Their eyes widened in amazement.
“Sir, if these machines can keep working like this, I guarantee we can finish the project in half the time. In no more than three days, we can start building drainage, as well as houses and shops,” the Dwarf said.
“That’s fine. I will also arrange for Skeletons to help with the transport to speed up the project. Prioritize the construction of the second port,” Wu Heng said, relieved to see the vehicles operating normally.
The progress of the construction will be even faster than the Dwarf had mentioned.
After all, Skeletons can also work at night, and since this area is a bit distant from the residential quarter,
there’s no worry about disturbing the peace, allowing for work to be done freely.
“Understood, sir.”
Wu Heng patted his shoulder, “Do well, and if it turns out well, I’ll set up a separate research department for you. From then on, you’ll be in charge of all the design work on the island.”
The Dwarf’s expression unified, and he immediately expressed his thanks excitedly, “Thank you, sir. I will definitely work with all my might to not let you down.”
Wu Heng nodded, leaving the Dwarf in charge there,
and returned to the manor.
He greeted Mini as he passed by the study on his way to the Zombie World.
…
Stepping out of the boundary door, a coolness enveloped his whole body.
It was blazing hot on Gold and Silver Island, yet here it was winter.
If it weren’t for the increasing constitution, the back and forth between the two places could have caused a cold.
He walked out of the room.
Qi Hancai followed and said directly, “The rest of the people and some solar panel equipment are on the way and should arrive tomorrow.”
“Hmm, first let’s see if the number of solar panels can support one or two production lines to resume production,” Wu Heng said.
“Understood!” Qi Hancai nodded.
Wu Heng continued, “Has the rescue team said anything?”
“Not yet, they are probably admitting defeat. Our combat was swift, and they couldn’t find any substantial evidence. Mere suspicion won’t do them any good,” Qi Hancai now appeared comparatively calm.
From the conversation the two had yesterday,
it seemed the rescue team was not planning to pursue further, all depending on the person known as Boss Huang.
“We still can’t trust them too much. Be cautious.”
“OK.”
Wu Heng then said, “Have the surroundings been fully scouted?”
Qi Hancai took out a map, “There are a few more factories in this direction.”
“Arrange for the convoy. Let’s clear the way as we go.”
