Chapter 372 -309, I just saved you (asking for monthly votes, thanks brothers.)
Establishing a sub-base, making contact with the military.
Both are significant decisions.
A sub-base means dispersing the population; resources also need to be reallocated.
Making contact with the military could lead to more unpredictable situations.
It’s fine if we maintain friendly trade, but what if conflicts arise?
The Skeleton Army, can they withstand modern weapons?
The power of a missile is enough to destroy a large area.
The others were somewhat anxious.
Li Yahong directly asked, “What do you need next?”
Wu Heng replied, “Two radios, preferably the kind with good signals used by the military, some photovoltaic panels and accessories—these are what I will take with me. You’ll also need to prepare some people to come with me, to stabilize the situation over there.”
“We have radios and photovoltaic panels in the warehouse, I’ll have someone get them ready.” Li Yahong took out her walkie-talkie and began giving instructions.
After finishing, she continued, “How do you plan to arrange the personnel, and how will they get over there?”
“The bus station must keep operating. Li Yahong stays here to take charge. Qi Hancai and Wang Chenggang, pick 20 people to go to the factory area,” Wu Heng said.
Hearing the arrangements, Li Yahong’s expression changed dramatically; she was obviously not too pleased but didn’t voice her opinion. Instead, she asked, “How will the people get there?”
“The route we planned when rescuing Xiao Xiao’s mother, skirting the edge of the city, it’s safer,” Wu Heng said directly.
“Alright, does anyone else have any objections or ideas?” Li Yahong looked to the few others.
“No objections.”
“I don’t have any objections either.”
The others nodded in agreement.
“Good, then let’s leave it at that for now. Everyone, go ahead with your tasks!” Wu Heng said directly.
The group rose and headed outside.
…
Once the others had left, only Wu Heng and Li Yahong were left in the room.
Li Yahong’s expression was a bit unhappy, clearly displeased.
Wu Heng walked over and put an arm around her shoulders, “Why do I get the feeling you’re unhappy because I’m not taking you with me?”
“Not at all!”
Wu Heng lowered his voice, “One of us has to stay behind. I wouldn’t feel secure entrusting the camp we’ve worked so hard to build to someone else. It’s only if you stay that we can keep it in our hands.”
Li Yahong glanced up at him, “But I want to go with you.”
“Riding the Flying Dragon, it’s less than a two-hour journey. Whenever you miss me, I’ll come over by Flying Dragon. It won’t be a problem,” Wu Heng stated plainly.
“If you miss me, you can come over by Flying Dragon, and if I miss you, I can do the same. There won’t be any problems,” Wu Heng reassured.
Li Yahong thought about it and realized he was right. With the Skeleton Flying Dragon, it would only take a moment.
It was no different from before when she would drive to see him.
“Okay then, you make a good point.”
Wu Heng pinched her cheek and planted a deep kiss, “How about we relax a bit before I go?”
Li Yahong’s cheeks instantly reddened, “Stop it, you’re relentless, and we’ll get side-tracked.”
“Just for a bit!”
Before she could respond, Wu Heng pulled Li Yahong into a room on the side.
He pinned her upper body to the desk and kicked her legs apart.
Li Yahong wanted to make a few retorts but suddenly felt him and closed her mouth, softly moaning.
…
They reemerged from the room.
The displeasure on Li Yahong’s face had vanished.
Joking and laughing together, they walked outside.
The photovoltaic panels and radio equipment were ready.
Wu Heng put them directly into the Space Ring.
“I’ll arrange things, so the convoy sets out tomorrow. You just arrange for someone to meet them,” Li Yahong said.
“Okay, be careful on the road,” Wu Heng replied.
Wu Heng got back on the Skeleton Flying Dragon, with a ‘electrician’ skeleton sitting in front of Skull Crusher.
After everything was ready and farewells were said, he patted the dragon’s neck and soared into the sky.
Heading back to the old factory dormitory building.
He landed on the roof.
Wu Heng chose a spot and had the skeletons install photovoltaic panels to power the dormitory building.
Then he went back inside and glanced at the other survivors.
He opened the boundary door to return to Gold and Silver Island.
…
The next day, at the association’s office study.

The door opened.
The Pirate Daughter ‘Philippa’ was brought in.
Once the door closed, Philippa sprawled very ungracefully onto the sofa, “What are we eating today?”
Her tone and demeanor were as if she were the Vice-executive of this place.
Wu Heng glanced at her, while Andre Willow chuckled on the side.
“What do you want to eat?”
“I want beef, water tiger fish, and vegetable soup.”
“Wei’er, go prepare that for her,” Wu Heng instructed.
Andre Willow nodded and promptly left the room.
Philippa then said outright, “How about I stay and be your assistant? All you need to do is provide me with these meals.”
“Do what you’re good at.”
“And~! What am I lacking?!” Philippa said with a face full of disdain.
“We’re acting tonight, how are you prepared?” Wu Heng continued to ask.
“Just like that, I’ve done what needs to be done.”
Wu Heng nodded and took out the radio device, saying, “Come on, I’ll teach you how to use this kind of prop.”
Philippa stood up and walked over, looking at the strange metal box, “This is a prop? It’s so big?”
“This is a communication-type prop. This is where you receive the signals, and this is called a microphone. You can use it to transmit messages. When you have any information, turn on this switch and just speak,” Wu Heng explained one by one.
Philippa picked up the microphone and said a sentence, then looked at him, “Did you receive it?”
“You need two devices operating at the same time to receive it. I’ll leave one with you on the ship, make sure not to damage it or let it get wet,” Wu Heng cautioned.
“Oh, okay!”
Wu Heng continued, pointing to the figure holding a longsword next to them, “This is Blazing Blade, a Level 12 skeleton attendant. He’ll also be arranged to be by your side to protect you.”
“Are you crazy? A skeleton following me, how am I supposed to explain that to the other pirates?” Philippa blurted out directly.
“You’ve only reached Level 8, can you intimidate those pirates? If there’s any danger, Blazing Blade can protect you.”
Philippa felt that he was right and thought for a moment, then said, “Then wrap him up tightly. I’ll just say he’s my enforcer.”
“Say whatever you want, as long as you can deceive the others,” Wu Heng replied.
The two of them chatted.
Andre Willow came in with the food she had bought.
Philippa sat on the couch, eating voraciously with no semblance of a lady.
After the other party finished speaking.
Wu Heng continued, “Tonight, I’ll send Blazing Blade to rescue you. Remember, no one knows you’re my informant, you have to try your hardest to escape.”
“Got it,” Philippa nodded and said, “What do I do about some people who always oppose me?”
“They won’t escape. Just take your people and get on the ship.”
“Okay!”
After they had finished discussing.
Philippa was taken back to her cell.
….
Night fell.
It was quiet inside the dungeon.
A few torches on the wall had gone out, making the light even dimmer.
Philippa lay on her straw mat, gazing silently at the wall, waiting.
Tap tap tap~!
“Who’s there? There’s a jailbreak, sound the alarm.”
“Stop them!”
Suddenly, shouts erupted from outside, followed by the clinking and clanging of fighting.
All the pirates in the dungeon sat up in their beds, staring fixedly at the entrance.
Suddenly, several figures clad in armor, covering even their faces and eyes, came charging down from above.
They moved quickly past each cell.
Philippa’s heart thumped wildly, but she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Save me, I’m here.”
The figures came to ‘Philippa’s’ cell, drew their iron swords, and cut the iron locks.
Philippa rushed out of the cage and pretended to run out.
“Philippa, save me. Let’s go together.”
“Captain, didn’t we agree to sail out together? You can’t leave your crew behind.”
“Yeah, let us out too. If you run, the association will come, and they can kill us overnight.”
Philippa stopped in her tracks and cursed, “Shut the fuck up, all of you!”
Then she said, “Let a few of them out.”
The figures behind her stepped forward, and longswords in hand, they shattered the locks of several cages.
The rest of the pirates ran out with faces full of joy.
“Go on, no one will save you if you die on the way.” After saying that, she took the lead and ran outside.
As soon as they had rushed out of the dungeon.
Growls and chaotic noises erupted all around.
The light from torches appeared from the pathways on all sides.
They ran towards the direction without torchlight, heading straight for the harbor.
….
At the harbor.
The pirates ran frantically, heading directly for the harbor.
They fought off the few guards.
“This way, I’ve prepared a speedboat. We’ll be safe once we’re on board,” Philippa said as she ran towards the speedboat ahead.
Whoosh~!
Suddenly, the sharp sound of slicing air came from behind her head.
Fear appeared on Philippa’s face, and she instinctively threw herself forward.
Dong~!
The clear sound of metal clashing rang out.
Philippa created some distance, then abruptly turned to look back.
She saw several pirates had drawn their weapons, and the skeleton attendant assigned to her had stopped their sneak attack.
Philippa’s expression changed drastically as she cursed, “Are you fucking insane? I’m the one who saved you.”
