The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 515: Chapter 426, Mother and Daughter Reunion (Part 1).

I leveled up.

Absorbing other ghosts is indeed the most convenient way to level up.

Xiao Xiao had gone up by two levels, and Glenda also increased by one level.

There was an enhancement in attributes.

But no other abilities were unlocked.

The book said that one would inherit the original abilities of the ghost, but it seems none were inherited.

“How does it feel?”

“Pretty good,” Xiao Xiao answered.

Glenda also nodded in satisfaction, indicating she also felt quite good.

After some thought, Xiao Xiao said, “So in the future, if we encounter other ghosts, and we absorb them, does that mean our levels will keep getting higher?”

Wu Heng thought for a moment and felt that not all ghosts could be absorbed casually.

After all, some of them possessed intelligence; besides lacking a body, there was not much difference between them and living beings.

“On humanitarian grounds, if a ghost retains its senses and can communicate normally, and as long as it hasn’t done anything evil, we can talk to it. If it’s just a low-quality ghost like the one we just encountered, causing chaos and harming people, we can absorb it normally,” he said.

Glenda found it somewhat amusing to hear the Necromancer talking about humanitarianism.

Xiao Xiao then coyly emphasized, “Aside from you, uncle, I’ve never wronged anyone else.”

“That’s probably because you haven’t had the chance!”

Xiao Xiao looked up, avoiding his gaze, “I have been working very hard to help you, uncle.”

“Well, that’s true. Then I forgive you. Xiao Xiao is a good child, after all.”

“Of course!”

Dealing with ghosts was easier than imagined.

Under Glenda’s abilities, the ghosts found it impossible to move.

Moreover, after the ghosts absorbed one another, the level increase was quite significant.

Ghosts below level 5 had allowed the level 10 Glenda to level up, and Xiao Xiao also went up two levels.

Obviously, the leveling wasn’t assigned based on experience points.

In time, it might be possible to pay special attention to some ghosts’ affairs, using them to enhance the ghosts.

The issue was settled.

Wu Heng continued, “Let’s check the vicinity again, and if there’s no danger, I’ll let the survivors come in.”

The two ghosts nodded and immediately split up to circle around from both sides.

After returning, they indicated there was no danger.

Wu Heng took out his walkie-talkie, “It’s safe inside; let everyone come in.”

“Received!”

…

Soon, Qi Hancai was the first to walk in.

She cast a cautious glance around and upon seeing Wu Heng with the Skeleton coming down from the second floor, she signaled to the people behind her.

Then, the accompanying survivors quickly walked in.

Long electrical wires stretched from the train to the waiting room, and the bulbs lit up one by one.

Lighting up the previously dark space.

Then came the assembly of equipment, the boarding up of shattered doors and windows with wooden panels, and the welding of rebar.

Meanwhile, another group connected the welders and cutters and began welding and sharpening the steel pipes and spearheads that had been brought in.

Everyone, as if they had rehearsed, quickly got to work.

Qi Hancai gave a few instructions and then came over, “There’s still some time before dawn; you should rest in the car for a bit.”

“No need, I’ll take a look around.”

“Rest for a bit. We didn’t do much on the way; you rest, and if there’s any situation, I’ll call for you,” Qi Hancai said, pulling him towards the train.

Wu Heng didn’t insist any further and told the two ghosts to keep an eye on the surroundings.

He then returned to the train car.

Lying on the fixed bench and covered with bear hide, he closed his eyes and dozed off for a while.

…

Thump, thump, thump~!

He wasn’t sure how long he had slept when he heard a knocking on the door outside.

Then, Qi Hancai walked in, putting a basin of water to the side, “How was your rest last night? The conditions on the train are a bit poor.”

Wu Heng shook his stiff neck, “It was okay.”

“Wash your face, despite the poor conditions, stay presentable,” Qi Hancai said quietly.

“Thank you!” Wu Heng quickly washed his face and then dried off.

He then sat down at the table, took out some food from the Space Ring, and shared some with Qi Hancai.

Qi Hancai raised an eyebrow and took a seat opposite him.

She took a bite of something that looked like pizza and tasted it.

When she tasted the flavors of the meat and seafood, her eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

In the current situation, some supermarkets still had canned meat or well-sealed meat.

But the flavor couldn’t compare to this.

Initially, she wanted to retain her dignity and be mindful of her image, but she couldn’t resist the delicious aroma of the food and started gobbling it down voraciously.

“Slow down, I have more if it’s not enough,” Wu Heng said, pouring her a glass of water.

Qi Hancai felt a bit embarrassed, “This is enough, I just didn’t expect it to be this delicious.”

“I’ll bring you some more when I get the chance.”

After swallowing her food, Qi Hancai asked, “Did you make this?”

“Someone else made it.”

“Oh, okay.”

After finishing breakfast, the two got off the train.

They walked into the waiting room.

The broken glass of the doors and windows had all been boarded up, and the clutter that had filled the hall was now piled up in a corner.

Even with a basic clean-up, the walls and surroundings still bore clear claw marks and bloodstains.

The survivors had regrouped.

Only a small number of people continued working, while the rest returned to the train to rest.

“Over a hundred iron spears have been made, and production will continue to increase. Outside the station, people have scouted the area; there are zombies on the roads, it’s about the same situation as we previously encountered,” Qi Hancai reported softly as she followed behind.

Wu Heng instructed, “Prepare to clear out the surrounding zombies when the time comes.”

“Understood!” Qi Hancai nodded, took the walkie-talkie, and arranged the task.

Wu Heng then ordered the Skeletons to move all the weapons outside and distribute them to the newly converted Skeleton Warriors from the day before.
