The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 54:, Don’t Give Up Hopei

Bawudong and the giant zombie were still entangled in the fight.

Heavy fists flailed wildly.

Light on his feet, Bawudong lashed out with both fists and feet sending ordinary zombies flying, while dodging the heavy strikes from the giant zombie.

Whoosh-!

A giant fist, causing a whistling gust of wind, came rushing towards his face. Bawudong leaned back to dodge the incoming punch, then swiftly spun his body like a top as his right leg launched a sweeping kick.

Phew-!

A dull thud resounded as the giant zombie staggered two steps sideways, its body faltering.

Bawudong quickly followed up.

His palms thrust upwards striking the jaw, his foot advanced, his left fist attacked the ribs, his right hook struck the abdomen, then his left fist lashed out again, followed closely by his right fist.

His punches were fierce and relentless.

Basen, also on the side, was constantly moving in harmony, his two short blades flipping non-stop, leaving behind a series of bloody wounds on the lower half of the giant zombie.

Bawudong leapt up and his straight punch landed on the zombie’s throat. Phew-!

The giant zombie fell backwards and seated itself on the ground.

Bawudong didn’t give it a chance to recuperate; he pursued with quick steps and began hammering its head.

Dull thumping sounds, each heavy like a falling sledgehammer, kept reverberating.

Basen also took this opportunity to stab his short sword into the target’s chest. When Bawudong stood up, the giant zombie was still lying on its back, not moving.

[Experience gained: +143.]

[Summoned creature – Skeleton Boxer gained experience: +22.]

The appearance of experience points indicated that the target had been killed by ‘Bawudong’.

Finally, it was dead.

Wu Heng had been genuinely afraid of this giant zombie escaping.

It would be quite a tricky situation if it could come back to take its revenge.

With the death of the giant zombie, Bawudong and Basen, the two skeletons, returned to the main battlefield, and began attacking the horde of zombies ’ from the other side.

The battle was still ongoing, and the number of zombies was gradually decreasing.

Only when the last zombie fell did silence descend over the area once again. Covered in blood, the Skeleton Warrior stood upright in its empty skeletal frame adorned with fragments of flesh and clinging strands of hair, and entered standby mode.

A few skeletons with souls walked towards Wu Heng.

Wu Heng found a mask to put on and walked out of the hallway.

The area downstairs was piled high with zombie corpses and bones, not even a patch of bare ground could be seen.

“Get me the corpse of that giant zombie,” Wu Heng ordered.

Jianyi and Jian’er quickly went over and dragged the colossal body over from afar.

The mutant zombie, muscles exaggerated, looked rather miserable.

Its eyeballs exploded, and the head twisted oddly to the back.

The body was riddled with sword cuts.

These Skeletons really did a harsh job.

After downing an entire bottle of Spirit Potion, he felt a slight rejuvenation of his spiritual power.

He released the [Bone Manipulation Skill] towards the massive zombie.

Necromancy wrapped the corpse before him.

The flesh slowly peeled off, and the giant Skeleton sat up slowly.

[Skeleton Warrior (Level 11)]

[Level: 11 (0/65000)]

[Attributes: Constitution 28, Strength 29, Agility 17, Intelligence 6, Perception

12, Charm 5.]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul]

[Specialty: Biological Aberration]

[Biological Aberration]: Constitution +3.

It turned out to be a level 11 zombie.

Its level rating was one below that of ‘Bawudong’.

But from the standpoint of attributes, it indeed highlighted personal advantages.

Constitution 28, Strength 29.

Even with all its muscles disappearing, Bawudong’s strength was just 25, which still remained the highest among the skeletons.

However, the disadvantage was also evident: lowagility, low intelligence and low perception.

Put plainly, it retained some of the flaws of zombies even after mutation. Moreover, this skeleton still goes by the name “Skeleton Warrior”. It only has one specialty, which is Biological Aberration, that increases its constitution by 3 points.

The rest doesn’t have any other specialties or abilities.

This is entirely different from the professional soldiers obtained from Black Stone Town.

Upon transformation, professional soldiers retain their original abilities. If two similar level skeletons were compared, the one with a profession would be fiercer.

But there’s no alternative. One can’t allow a zombie to advance occupation before killing it, right?

Carrying a short spear, some grotesque fallen flesh was searched through.

A fleshy ‘Corpse Core’ appeared in front of his eyes.

Wu Heng was delighted but also somewhat puzzled.

“A new type of corpse core?”

He found a plastic bag, took out the ‘Corpse Core’ and carefully inspected it. There was no change in the size of the Corpse Core, it was still the size of a fingernail. But however, the white flesh was filled with red blood veins.

They looked like dense blood vessels or nerve tissue.

While he didn’t understand biology, something looked off.

This was considerably different from the ‘Corpse Cores’ dropped by those Mutated Dogs.

Seemingly, it should be a new type of Corpse Core.

One thing he didn’ t know was if the previously mixed antidote would still work.

Looking down at the Corpse Core, the newly joined 3-meter-tall skeleton also squatted down and watched with him.

Wu Heng glanced at it, packed up and put away the Corpse Core, saying: “From now on, your name is’Big Guy’.”

The 3-meter skeleton looked around but seemed quite dull witted.

Wu Heng didn’t continue to bother with it, glanced around, then issued another command: “Alright, pile the corpses together and clean up the debris.” The soul-bearing skeleton immediately started working with the ordinary skeletons.???????????????? ⁷

They moved the corpses and cleaned up the scattered debris.

This battle had consumed almost all the items in the entire building.

What with the TVs and computers, tables and chairs strewn everywhere.

Moreover, it seemed like he should change his base to a new building. This one was in shambles.

With a thought, Xiao Xiao, the little ghost, flew out from within him.

Looking at the surrounding scene, her face was full of fear.

“Uncle, you killed so many people.”

“They’re not humans anymore.” Wu Heng continued.

“It’s so scary.”

Wu Heng was little speechless.

These zombies were infected by a genetic virus essentially making them ‘undead’.

But as a ghost, did she really need to be scared of them?

But since Xiao Xiao was so young when she died, Wu Heng decided to gloss over things. Instead he directly asked,” Xiao Xiao, there’s a passenger bus at the intersection over there. Check if there’s any zombies in the vicinity.” “Oh, Ok.” Xiao Xiao nodded her head and went straight through the wall to leave.

Soon, Xiao Xiao flew back and said, “No more, only a few that can’t move are slowly crawling on the road.”

Wu Heng took a look at Xiao Xiao’s memory again just to be sure.

On the wide road, it was empty with a few zombies that had lost their lower halves slowly crawling.

Wu Heng thought for a while and decided to go over and have a look before it got dark.

“Basen, Bawudong.” Wu Heng called out and then called upon a few more skeleton warriors, and walked out together.

They cleaned up a few zombies along the way.

They then arrived at a bus that had failed to escape carrying survivors.

The bus was already unrecognizable. The iron mesh was smashed and thrown aside, and the body was full of dents.

Wu Heng walked into the bus to inspect.

The survivors carried sharpened iron pipes, cleavers, and some collected food.

Their preparations were quite sufficient, but it was unfortunate that they couldn’t escape.

Next, Wu Heng turned his gaze to a iron box welded with white steel plate.

It wasn’t locked. After opening it, there was an old-fashioned tape recorder inside. It had been modified with tape and some equipment and had a long antenna.

“What’s this?”

Without thinking much, he pressed the play button.

A piercing electrical sound suddenly rang out, followed by a familiar language emerging.

[Don’t give up hope, find everyway to survive, hold on…]

A familiar voice echoed from the tape recorder.
