The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 516: Chapter 426, Mother and Daughter Reunion (Part 2)

…

About half an hour later,

The survivors on this side were ready.

Wu Heng, commanding the Skeleton Army, formed the Spear Array outside the train station, waiting in silence.

Before long, Xiao Xiao and Glenda returned one after another.

“They’re just ordinary zombies, no danger at all!”

“On my side, there aren’t any strange carrion either.”

Wu Heng nodded, signifying his understanding.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, “Is the Skeleton Flying Dragon ready?”

Qi Hancai replied, “Ready.”

This time they hadn’t brought along any Skeleton Hunting Dogs.

Grabbing a spear from a Skeleton Warrior beside him, he said, “Go attract the zombies, run back once they’ve noticed you.”

The Skeleton Warrior stepped out of the formation.

He walked towards the location of the zombies on the road ahead.

It was still a distance away.

The wandering zombies then turned their heads towards this direction, with roars spreading instantly.

The skeleton turned and ran back.

The zombies boiled over like an exploding pot, gathering into a tide of corpses and chasing after him.

The Skeleton Flying Dragon flew overhead, showering the zombie crowd with solid iron bullets like torrential rain.

Thick smoke billowed, and the street was cleared in an instant.

The Spear Array continued to press forward, cleaning up the remaining zombies.

…

[Level: 15 (32785/195000)]

Wu Heng watched as his experience points surged.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

It was definitely more exhilarating in an undeveloped area; back in the original city, it was not possible to gain this much experience anymore.

Moreover, fighting on this road was much more convenient than on the tracks.

No need to worry about damaging the rails; they could just use the dragons for bombardment.

It even felt a bit like grinding for monsters in a video game sometimes.

But the taste of a zombie horde rushing head-on wasn’t as relaxed as when sitting in front of a computer.

By noon, the battle had ended.

A vast number of skeletons went into standby mode.

“Clean up the battlefield, drag the evolved zombie corpses over here,” Wu Heng ordered.

The skeletons immediately began to clean up the battlefield.

At the same time, several evolved zombie bodies were dragged to Wu Heng’s vicinity.

[Bone Command Technique] was released, and skeletons stood up one after another.

They also scavenged five first-level Corpse Cores from the bodies and put them away.

Then he continued to release [Battleground of Remains] along the road.

A large number of skeletons stood up, wobbling into the skeleton formation.

Soon, the number of skeletons neared thirty thousand.

They were densely packed and filled the area.

…

After cleaning up the surrounding zombies,

Wu Heng led the army back to the station.

Seeing the tens of thousands of skeletons in the army behind them, the survivors responsible for weapon production all appeared bitter.

To talk of working non-stop through the night was one thing, but even several machines working simultaneously would struggle to arm these many skeletons.

Qi Hancai came forward and asked, “The train will go back to carry new materials today; is there anything you need to be brought here?”

After thinking for a while, Wu Heng said, “Bring some high-level skeletons, and you can arrange the rest.”

With the railway unobstructed, it was just a few hours’ journey.

It wasn’t any slower than traveling from the old factory area to the county bus station.

“Okay!” Qi Hancai nodded and then said, “I’ve arranged a rest room upstairs, come and see which one you like.”

Wu Heng followed upstairs and glanced at the rooms.

He chose the one furthest in, “I’ll take this one. When I’m not out, if there’s anything, you speak to Big Head Skull; he’ll help you with the skeleton operations. Don’t let anyone enter my room.”

“Understood. When you’ve rested, I will report the situation here to you,” Qi Hancai replied.

Wu Heng nodded, positioning two skeletons to guard by the door.

He then entered the room himself.

Glancing around inside the room,

he opened the boundary door and stepped through.

…

Gold and Silver Island was still bathed in clear skies.

Wu Heng took off his down jacket and placed it into a cupboard nearby.

The difference in the weather between the two sides was growing more pronounced by the day.

He sent the obtained Corpse Cores to the Alchemy Laboratory and collected two bottles of second-level corpse core potion and five bottles of first-level corpse core potion from a ready-made product shelf.

Wu Heng saw that among the second-level corpse core potions, there was a bottle of [High-efficiency Intelligence Potion].

He casually opened it and tipped his head back to drink it down.

A piercing pain shot through his head, but soon disappeared.

[Intelligence +1.]

As expected.

The effects of second-level potions had already diminished to this extent.

“These effects are getting worse.”

He put the rest away and walked out of the room.

Moving down the stairs,

Mini was cleaning the room on the first floor.

Seeing Wu Heng come down, she greeted him and then said, “Master, the Pirate Mistress has sent a message again; she’s looking for you.”

Philippa?

“Okay, Mini, prepare some bathwater for me.”

“Right away, Master,” Mini replied immediately, getting ready to do so.

Wu Heng then went back up to the third floor.

He entered the radio room and glanced at the logbook on the table.

It contained records of those who had been looking for him.

Picking up the microphone, he directly asked, “Philippa, you were looking for me, right?”

Soon, Philippa’s voice came through, “Ah, our fleet is nearing Crab Claw Island, are you coming over?”

The last time, she provided information, and Wu Heng had killed two fugitives.

In return, he had promised to bring her some supplies.

At the time, Philippa had been leading the fleet away from the region, so they hadn’t met.

It seemed she had returned in the last few days.

“When will you arrive?”

“Almost, I’ll be there by dusk, will you come to deliver the supplies?”

“I’ll come over then.”

“Mm, and bring me some more of the seafood soup from the tavern at the association’s entrance, I like their taste,” she said.

“Alright, got it.”

“See you in the evening.”

With the meeting time briefly confirmed,

Wu Heng walked out of the room and into the bathroom to take a bath.

…

Leaning on the edge of the bath,

he pondered the plans for the upcoming period.
