The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

The DuPont family moved very quickly. Pierre and Chen Mo discussed the initial intention of cooperation. The DuPont family sent a mighty professional team from the United States to Egypt, approached the Egyptian business department, and They began to discuss specific cooperation matters.

Of course, the British don’t want the Americans to meddle in their sphere of influence, but the British have little binding force on the current Egyptian government, or on Chen Mo. In addition, the United States is not weaker than the United Kingdom in terms of overall national strength. There is no good way for the DuPont family to enter Egypt. They can only let the local British companies compete for this business by themselves.

But compared to these, the British are most concerned about when Chen Mo will start building the canal.

After all, this is what is most closely related to the interests of the United Kingdom. The sooner they can widen the canal, the sooner they can make more money from the canal.

This matter is true for the British, and it is also true for Chen Mo.

So after initially stabilizing the situation in Egypt and establishing his own rule and control over Egypt, Chen Mo began to deal with this matter.

Naturally, there are many laborers needed to build the canal. When the French dug the canal, more than one million people were used. In the era without modern large-scale construction machinery, it is a helpless necessity to use such a large amount of manpower.

This is also the main reason why the British wanted to widen the canal before, but were unable to complete it.

After all, mobilizing millions of workers, even if you don’t pay wages, these people’s eating, drinking and looting is always a huge expense, plus the other management expenses needed to manage the construction of millions of people, it can be said that this is a great deal for the British Empire. It is also a heavy burden.

But for Chen Mo, things are relatively simpler, because he uses undead labor.

The benefits of the undead are of course needless to say, not only do they not need to pay wages, they also do not need to provide services for eating, drinking and drinking, and they don’t have to worry about them being sick or lazy, and they don’t even need to rest. It can be said that they are the best labor candidates.

Of course, it is not easy to use undead labor.

First of all, of course, the most important thing is to have so many corpses. Otherwise, undead workers are not crops grown in the ground. After all, corpses are needed to summon undead, and they cannot be summoned out of thin air.

The second is the issue of control. The summoned undead workers belong to the lowest level of undead, basically only have the most basic intelligence, no independent thinking ability, and no language communication ability. If no one controls it, it will almost be a fantasy adventure game Here, the white skeletons or zombies specially designed for beginners to gain experience are almost the same.

Therefore, if you want to make good use of undead workers, how to control them becomes the key.

At this point, Chen Mo deliberately checked his spell book and found a suitable solution.

"What is that? Those Egyptians seem to be building a stone monument? Does it have any meaning? Or is this an Egyptian tradition?" On the side of the canal, in the designated construction site area, a British engineer looked at some Egyptian The people sent by the government were erecting a black obelisk, and they were very surprised to ask their companions on the side.

"It seems to be an obelisk, a tradition of the Egyptians, and it seems to be a monument." The companion glanced at it, and while explaining to the engineer, he flipped through the documents on the table and added: " Egyptian officials have notified this matter, they will erect such an obelisk on both sides of the canal every ten kilometers, which is written into the construction plan.”

Hearing his companion's explanation, the engineer curled his lips contemptuously: "The Egyptians really put gold on their faces. We built the canal, so they have the nerve to erect a monument? Without the assistance of the British Empire, they would do nothing." No."

"You can't say that,

Without the local laborers in Egypt, it would be impossible for the empire to dig the canal manually. It would be impossible to send people from the mainland, right? "The companion is not as contemptuous as the engineer's face of big country chauvinism, but he can still understand the contribution of Egyptian laborers in this matter.

It's just that his words didn't get the engineer's approval. Instead, the other party looked at the Egyptian workers who were erecting Senior Fang with even more disdain, and asked his companions, "Then where are your so-called Egyptian laborers? They won't say anything." Are these people the only ones? There are only a few dozen of them, and they can’t dig the canal out.”

Regarding this question, the companion did not argue with the engineer, he just flipped through the construction plan in his hand, found an article about labor, and then read it: "The Egyptian government will provide labor in an unusual way. Stay calm after you get to these workers, and please remember that you have signed a non-disclosure agreement and you must not disclose any information related to the construction, please be informed.”

"What? What does this mean? We did sign a non-disclosure agreement, but what is an unusual way? Why do we need to remain calm?" The engineer felt puzzled while listening to his companion reading the instructions on the construction plan: "Could it be Will they send a batch of slaves? Are these barbarians really still using slaves?"

The engineer's words were full of discrimination and contempt, but just as he was talking nonsense, the Egyptians had already erected the obelisk, and several people in black robes were standing under the obelisk, raising their hands and doing something , looking like praying.

And following the prayers of these black-robed acolytes, the words inscribed on the obelisk lit up one after another, emitting green fluorescence, and at the same time, a circle of light that was almost undetectable also radiated from the obelisk , swept across the entire construction site in an instant, and at the same time swept across a camp that the Egyptians had already prepared with the cooperation of the British army.

As the power of the obelisk swept across, the camp suddenly boiled.

One after another, dead bones and mummified corpses, as well as some fresh corpses, walked out of the camp tent with a pair of green eyes.

"WTF! What is this!" The tent where the engineer and his companions were located was very close to the camp of the undead, so he saw the undead emerging from the tent at the first time, which immediately made his pants wet.

He scrambled and ran towards the British soldiers standing guard. The engineer hurriedly asked the British soldiers for help, but unexpectedly, the British soldiers did not feel nervous or even surprised.

"Okay, Mr. Engineer, I suggest you go back and change your pants first, and then drink a cup of black tea to calm down. These skeletons and corpses are laborers provided by the Egyptian government." The engineer needed for construction, the British soldiers calmed down his emotions.
