The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 131: Chapter 129, Leave no One Alive_1

“Sister Hong, there’s a mutated zombie at the automobile repair shop.”

These words put everyone in the convoy on high alert.

Wu Heng leaned out to look at the repair shop, avoiding the bus blocking his view at the front.

From a distance, he saw a gigantic humanoid zombie, walking on all fours and climbing along the exterior wall of the repair shop.

Its skin was ghastly pale, limbs slender, and claws thick and large.

It was like a humanoid gecko, sticking to the wall.

Its enormous claws were incessantly ripping at the place of a window.

As Wu Heng looked at it, the mutated zombie also noticed the convoy.

With a couple of forceful rips at the sealed window, it jumped off the wall and charged towards the convoy.

“It’s coming at us, it’s coming, what do we do, shit!” Qiangzi’s panicked voice came through the radio.

He was in the lead car, now afraid to stop while a mutated zombie was rushing at him.

A dilemma situation.

Li Yahong anxiously looked at Wu Heng.

“Tell Qiangzi to stop the car, none of you should get out,” Wu Heng said.

Li Yahong picked up the radio and immediately responded, “Convoy, stop the vehicles. Do not get out under any circumstances.”

Screech~!

The sound of brakes resonated all around.

The gecko-like mutated zombie, seeing the convoy stopping, became more excited and began running towards them.

The tread of its footsteps was loud.

As the vehicle steadied, Wu Heng immediately ordered, “Have the skeletons get off, target to kill.”

Clatter~!

A large number of skeletons leapt from the vehicle, forming a line around the convoy.

They hadn’t brought back all the skeletons this time, only the Big Head Skeleton, Bawudong, and over a hundred other Level 5 and above skeletons with basic souls.

The running gecko zombie, seeing the sudden appearance of the skeletons, abruptly halted its forward thrust.

Warily watching the opposing side, it began to slowly back away.

Clatter~!

All of the skeletons dismounted from the vehicle, seized their weapons, and began to charge.

The gecko zombie turned and began to flee to the other side.

Then it jumped high, reaching the exterior wall of a building, quickly climbing several meters, and looking down to confirm whether these skeletons could climb up.

Bang~!

A deafening gunshot rang out.

‘Lieyi’, standing on top of the vehicle, pulled the trigger. The bullet instantly hit the back of the zombie’s head.

The enormous force caused its skull to collide violently against the wall.

It fell straight down from the height.

The Skeleton Beast Warrior wielding an axe and the humanoid skeleton armed with a spear swiftly rushed to the falling location.

The gecko zombie quickly got up. Shaking its head, it appeared dizzy and disorientated.

Next, before the encircling skeletons could reach, it once again climbed up the wall.

Bang~! Bang~!

Two more gunshots followed. The bullets hit the zombie’s back and waist, splattering dirty blood.

Then, it fell off the wall for the second time.

Although the bullets couldn’t kill it, the power of the firearms could still interfere with its actions.

This time, the skeletons were beforehand waiting below. They quickly swarmed it, enclosing it entirely.

The weapons in their hands swung down.

The zombie struggled fiercely. Its immense strength threw the skeletons into the air.

However, more numerous skeletons obstinately clung to it, not stopping their hacking and stabbing.

The mutated zombie was overwhelmed.

[Experience Gained +35.]

[Summoned Creature – Skeleton Beast Warrior, Experience Gained +10.]

The increase in experience signified that the zombie had been killed.

The skeletons returned, dragging along the zombie whose whole body seemed to be coated in a layer of white powder.

Wu Heng reopened the car door and said, “The zombie is dead. You all can return. Clean up and see if there’s anything we need to take from nearby.”

“Okay!”

Li Yahong and the others got out of the vehicle.

The gates of the auto repair shop swung open, and Wang Ke and the rest sprinted out immediately.

They directly ducked into Li Yahong’s embrace, “Sister Hong, I thought we were going to die in there.”

Li Yahong patted her head, “We couldn’t possibly die, we still have a lot of time to live.”

“Sister Hong, did you use perfume? You smell so good.”

“No way!” Li Yahong pinched her face, “How did the zombies get here?”

“They came from the direction of the building materials market.”

They talked while walking and entered the repair shop.

Wu Heng led his skeleton army back to their compound.

There were no changes in the compound.

In the Alchemist’s room, ‘Jia Yingying,’ who was previously hit by a bullet, had recovered.

She was looking out the window.

Wu Heng pushed the door open, “All better?”

“Yes, thank you for saving me.” Jia Yingying bowed in gratitude.

“It’s nothing. Let your brother take you home!”

Wu Heng ordered a skeleton to escort her out. Jia Zheng, who was waiting outside, had a face full of joy.

He bowed three times toward the compound, pushed his sister, and then they departed.

Wu Heng quickly checked the compound’s interior and reorganized the patrolling skeleton troops.

…

Lundham City.

In a dimly lit room in the Lower Town Area.

Smoke curled into the air, filling the room with a rich, sweet aroma.

It was the scent of hallucinogenic potion, a substance in this world that could induce the sensation of euphoria.

In front of a desk stood several middle-aged men. They were dressed in leather armour, with longswords attached to their waists, emanating a menacing aura.

On the other side of the desk sat a man with a robust figure and a full beard.

This was the boss of the Outer City Area’s ‘Pinned Gang,’ a butcher named ‘Rocky.’

A man whose reputation had gone down the drain in the human city, forcing him to retreat to ‘Lundham City,’ where he reestablished his gang and resumed his underground dealings.

“Boss, we’ve confirmed his location. He indeed only has two attendants with him,” one man reported.

Rocky opened a purple potion and guzzled it down.

A sickly sense of relief washed over his face as he instructed, “Let our brothers prepare. We will make our move tonight. Spare no one, and bring back all the corpses.”

Upon hearing this, the others in the room all nodded in agreement, “Understood, boss.”

With that, they exited the room.

Just then, a curvaceous woman with a bewitching beauty slowly emerged from another room. She leaned against the edge of the desk and whispered, “We have no business intervening in the association’s affairs. If they catch even the slightest trace of us, there will be dire consequences.”

Rocky cracked open another bottle of potion and drank it, replying with a dismissive tone, “Do you think ‘Fisher’ isn’t afraid? I bet after the target is dead, the one who will have to investigate the case will still be ‘Fisher.’ He just needs to pin it on a couple of wanted criminals. They won’t find anything that points back to us.”

The local gangs were all wary of getting involved in the association’s internal disputes.

However, if they could make a sizeable profit from cleaning up the mess afterwards, they were more than willing to take the job.

The woman seemed to understand his point, but voiced her concern nonetheless, “What if Fisher double-crosses us!”

Rocky let out a hearty chuckle, “Indeed, Fisher cannot be trusted. However, this matter is too serious for him to dare to do so.”

He pulled her into his embrace, his hands unreservedly wandering under her clothes.

The woman’s breathing quickened, she coquettishly said, “Should we go to my room to rest?”

Rocky paused, clearing his throat before replying, “Let’s forget about it for tonight. Let’s focus on this operation.”

The woman’s lips curled into a pout, she swayed her hips and stomped away.

…

Inside the compound.

Wu Heng used Bone Manipulation Skill.

[The summoned entity exceeds the caster’s capacity range… instability factors increase…]

Then, a massive humanoid skeleton slowly rose to its feet.

Its movements were still like that of a gecko, using all fours to move about.
