Chapter 1791 - 498: Cemetery "Technology" That Shocks the Soul! (Part 2)

[I Come To Form The Head]suddenly kicked a measuring stake flying and roared, "Damn! Our core productivity is banned!"

[I Come To Form The Crotch]looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

The expression on [I Come To Form The Head] looked as if he had put on a mask of pain.

"No skeletons allowed! No zombies! All undead laborers can't be used! Without the undead, how are we supposed to lay the railroad? Do we really have to do it ourselves?!"

The players looked at each other, finally realizing the seriousness of the situation, and a wave of lamentation spread across.

Undead laborers were their foundation!

Twenty-four hours without eating, drinking, sleeping, not even needing shift changes, you couldn't find more perfect labor in the whole world!

Now, this chain was cut off by the Demon King himself.

Just as everyone was falling into despair, [I Come To Form The Legs] suddenly brightened up.

"Wait, Brother Head! The boss only said no undead, ratmen, goblins, but he didn't say we can't use other living creatures!"

[I Come To Form The Head] rolled his eyes.

"Duh! You think I don't know that? But the problem is hiring people means paying salaries, are you going to pay them?"

"Didn't say we have to hire everyone! For example... we could go to that Swamp City!" [I Come To Form The Legs] chuckled, "Those Lizardmen are strong, just let them handle the heavy work!"

[I Come To Form The Head] was stunned upon hearing this, and slapped his thigh: "Holy crap! You're a genius!"

The Lizardmen in Mire City were like livestock, give them some food and they'd happily go work, especially since they're idle anyway.

Lately, with a lot of Human World merchandise flooding the swamp, many Lizardmen have been filled with curiosity about the outside world.

Using these guys for work might not be more expensive than using the undead!

After all, the undead aren't completely cost-free, they don't eat food but they do consume Demon Crystals, it's just that Demon Crystals in the Underworld are relatively cheap.

"But they're dumb." [I Come To Form The Crotch] hesitated, "This project has pretty high precision requirements, if they mess it up, it could lead to big trouble."

"They're dumb, and so are you?" [I Come To Form The Head] glanced at him disdainfully, "We can mix in some Lizardman players who can talk to be foremen."

After a few seconds of silence, [I Come To Form The Crotch]'s eyes suddenly widened.

"...Genius!"

[Not Afraid Of Ghosts After Death] looked at these guys, who were praising each other, utterly speechless — how was this obvious solution even considered genius?!

Although there were a few small twists in the process, for instance, the Chieftains of the Southwest Swamp only agreed to cooperate after taking Joss Paper, and they had to spend Joss Paper to buy Earth Cave Spider corpses, etc., through the unremitting efforts of the players, the "Cemetery Railway Group's" new project was successfully launched in the end.

The next morning, residents on the outskirts of Thunder City witnessed an unforgettable scene.

Thousands of strong Lizardmen laborers swarmed out of their settlements. Wearing only a strip of cloth around their waists, they marched mightily towards the newly built construction site on the city outskirts.

The guards of Thunder City thought the desperately impoverished Lizardmen were invading human lands, only relaxing when they saw the tool in their hands wasn't a long spear.

Just as the players had expected, these scaly guys showed unprecedented enthusiasm for a "food and housing included" job.

Especially with the task issued by the Dragon Divine Envoy, every Lizardman was firmly convinced—

As long as they completed the mission instructed by Lord Gutaf, they could follow Lord Sak Jifeng to the legendary Gana Continent and become true Dragon God's people!

In a way, the Lizardmen's idea wasn't entirely wrong; their chieftain had indeed accumulated enough for the ship ticket.

Recently, the Duke of Campbell was considering issuing travel documents to the neighboring Lizardmen, allowing the Chieftains of the River Bay Tribe Alliance to enter Thunder City and board ships at human ports to the Gana Continent, in return for the transfer of advanced technological equipment from the Gutaf Kingdom to Campbell Duchy.

He had said he wouldn't make it difficult for Prince Colin and had kept it in mind.

However, although the Lizardmen chieftains brought wealth to Thunder City, the Lizardmen of River Bay weren't short-changed either.

At least while the Demon King still needed them, they moved out of their original mud huts, built up their bodies, and mastered nailing and laying wooden sleepers.

Meanwhile, the consuming Engineering Spiders in the Great Graveyard also found new purposes.

Aside from becoming Lady Alachinos's snacks, they could now be "exported" as food for the Lizardmen.

This might not be very humane, but it was very much Hell-like.

On the construction site, the player foremen rolled their colorful tails and shouted orders through metal cone loudspeakers.

These were small gadgets wholesale from Oke's alchemy workshop, helping them translate language and, incidentally, add a Gana Continent accent.

It essentially just had a Translation Crystal embedded inside.

"Team One! Lift the sleepers! Your chant is!"

The response to the Dragon Divine Envoy was a unified and vigorous shout.

"Hey——!"

"Team Two! Trails follow up! Mind the spacing! Over there, I'm talking to you, don't bite with your teeth! Hey! Let go, that's your brother's tail next to you!"

"Ha——!"

The resounding chants rang out one after another.

Thousands of Lizardmen laborers sweated profusely, the mix of sweat and dirt shimmering like obsidian on their scales.
