The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 38:, The Wounded 4th Squad 1

Translator: 549690339???? —

The space downstairs was empty, devoid of new zombies.

Wu Heng led the team through the corridors of the building, easily eliminating the one or two wandering zombies they encountered, thanks to the skeleton warriors.

Upon reaching the small square in the community, the bus that had knocked over the fence still stood there.

In the not-so-large square, about thirty zombies were wandering aimlessly. “You guys stand at the front.” Wu Heng issued his commands.

Fifteen spear-wielding skeletons moved to the front of the team. Under Wu

Heng’s guidance, they formed a line with their spears pointed outwards.

“Basen, lure those zombies over here.”

Basen stepped out of the team, made a round on the distant small square.

When he came back, numerous zombies were already following him.

Nearing the group, Basen squeezed himself into the rear of the skeleton formation.

The horde of zombies, however, directly charged towards the skeletons at the front.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Zombies, like low-intelligence beasts, charged headlong into the spears, their bodies pierced by the sharp spearheads, with thick, crimson blood oozing from the wounds.

The fight didn’t last long due to the small numbers of the zombies.

After the front zombies were killed, several slow-moving ones limped towards them from a distance.

“Go, kill the remaining ones, and drag them here.” Wu Heng patted the shoulder of a dog-head next to him.

Four skeleton hunting dogs leapt out, swiftly tackling the remaining zombies. After killing them, they dragged the corpses back.

After all the zombies were eradicated, Wu Heng began to cast Bone Manipulation Skill, and the skeletons stood up on the spot and joined the ranks behind through his command.

After clearing the small square, they arrived by the overturned bus.

The driver was trapped by the seat belt, ferociously striking the cracked glass with his teeth and nails.

The skeletons were commanded to kill the driver, and then the bus was searched once again.

In the trunk, they found a miniature fire extinguisher, a car jack, spare tires and such.

Feeling that the fire extinguisher and car jack still had some utility, he decided to take them along.

However, both items were rather heavy, so they decided to leave them outside to be gathered later.

After leaving these items in the open, they continued to look around with the skeletons.

They arrived at the west gate of the complex with the skeletons.

There were still wandering zombies outside; roughly eleven or twelve by count, not many.

“Spears forward.”

The spear-wielding skeletons aimed their spears forward, preparing for the attack.

Without needing to lure them, they struck the iron gate with a short spear. Clang-!

At the reverberating sound, the zombies outside uniformly turned their heads towards the source.

Upon spotting the formation of skeletons.

Annoyed growls echoed, spreading quickly. From corners, small roads and the corridors of buildings nearby, more zombies emerged.

The number quickly increased from eleven or twelve to about thirty or forty strong.

All the zombies focused their attention on the main gate of the complex, then charged with teeth and nails outstretched.

“Prepare for combat.”

Roar-!

The zombies were getting closer, the sounds of growls and running formed a continuous noise.

Wu Heng raised his hand to cast the Grease Skill, causing the zombies to slip and fall onto the slippery ground.

At the same time, the skeleton warriors started thrusting their spears forward without pause.

One after another, they pierced the bodies of zombies, causing blackish-red blood to flow out.

[Summoned Creature – Skeleton Warrior, level has increased to 4, strength +1.] [Summoned Creature – Skeleton Warrior, level has increased to 3, Constitution

The battle continued.

Two skeletons had consecutively leveled up, even reaching the high level of four.

Wu Heng was indeed hopeful for the skeleton warriors.

Among the transformed skeletons, those that reached level 5 possessed a basic soul.

This led him to speculate that level five was a turning point for skeleton warriors.

All would unlock a basic soul.

If it was just as he expected, the undead skeletons all possessed souls and consciousness, he could entirely rely on his skeletons to build a nation.

A nation that didn’t need to consume resources and had ample labor.

Thinking this way, necromancers were really a bit terrifying.

In the midst of fierce battle.

The combat was gradually drawing to a close.

In front of the gate on the ground, bodies were piled up in heaps, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

He let the Skeleton Hunting Dogs rush out and kill the leftover slow-moving zombies, the entire western gate returned to peacefulness once again.

“Take the bodies, let’s go back!”

Skeleton Warriors picked up the bloody bodies from the ground and together, they headed towards their place of residence.

After piling them together on the ground floor, Wu Heng began to use the Bone Manipulation Skill to transform the bodies into skeletons.

He waited until it gradually became dim outside.

Then he led the skeletons back to the rooftop before returning to Black Stone Town himself.

After eating dinner.

Wu Heng called Jianyi over and continued practicing swordsmanship.

Last night, he got guidance from Autruck and improved some nonstandard areas.

Autruck and Cavina both used swords, but they had opposite styles.

Autruck’s sword was heavy, thick, and long, and when swung, it was powerful, heavy, and accompanied by a whistling wind.

Combined with his muscular body, people got the feeling that he could knock someone dead even with a wooden stick.

On the other hand, Cavina’s sword was a one-handed sword, narrow and thin. This kind of sword was challenging to forge, which favored a way of fighting that was fast and accurate.

According to his previous understanding from playing games, it seemed more like a fighting style emphasizing attack speed, and her sword moves were beautiful.

It looked like there should be different styles for each person.

As for himself, Wu Heng was more inclined to use the one-handed sword.

Being a mage, there was no need to stick with the heavy sword. If he faced real danger, a heavy sword would not facilitate escape.

After practicing with Jianyi for a while, noticing that it was getting late, he went to bed to rest.

The next day, at the Professional Association.

Wu Heng, with a backpack, arrived at the lounge.

As he opened the door, he saw Cavina with bandages on her left arm, sitting on the sofa and reading a newspaper.

You could not help but say, the people of this world were really tough.

Despite being beaten up like that, she came again today.

If it were a person from the modern world, they would have to stay in the hospital for half a month.

“How are you doing?” Wu Heng asked with concern.

Cavina put down the newspaper, “I’m fine, it’ll get better in a few days.”

Wu Heng opened his backpack, took out a few snacks from it, opened a bag of chips and passed it over, “Try this, it’s pretty tasty.”

As the person with the least injuries in the whole team, he felt he should at least bring some food to comfort his teammates.

After all, with Cavina and Basen leading the way, he’d been able to safely hang back and take potshots.

To be honest, these two teammates were quite reliable.

Cavina raised an eyebrow, took a chip, and put it in her mouth, “Nice taste.”

“I brought some, eat as much as you like” Wu Heng took out all the stuff from the bag and continued to ask: “Where’s the captain?”

“The captain is in a meeting, should be back soon.”

“Oh.”

After chatting a bit more, the door to the lounge opened again, and Autruck came in holding some stuff.

He looked at the snacks on the tea table, then his gaze landed on Wu Heng.

He said: “The steward wants to see you.”

“Oh.”

As Wu Heng was about to leave, he heard the captain say, “The association is very interested in your weapon. They’ll ask you some questions about it. Say what you want, and you don’t have to say what you don’t want.”

Handgun!

The association had taken notice of the handgun.
