The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 670

Chapter 670: Chapter 542, Came to see your grandpa, huh? Chapter 670: Chapter 542, Came to see your grandpa, huh? “Did the rescue team lead the horde of zombies over here?”

Near the military factory, Wu Heng had cleaned up all the zombies; it was impossible for a horde to suddenly locate them.

More likely, it was the rescue team that had brought them over.

And judging by their looks, they didn't do it on purpose to harm him.

Now wasn't the time to think about these things; he needed to get through this battle first.

Wu Heng released two ghosts again.

At the same time, he pressed the walkie-talkie and said, “Organize the team, change the ammunition belt for the Skeleton Flying Dragon, everyone, get moving, don't cluster together.”

The walkie-talkie broadcasted his orders, and the panic-stricken survivors were suddenly stricken with tension.

The leader was back.

As long as the leader was back, these zombies were no problem at all.

More hordes of zombies had been cleared out as well.

“Received, immediately arranging for the transport of solid iron bullets.”

“Hurry up.”

Wu Heng urged, then began to walk outside.

He took out a 'Soul Capturing Jade Flashlight' and handed it to a skeleton, saying, “Go, climb the watchtower, and shine the light on where the skeletons are fighting the zombies.”

The skeleton took the flashlight and quickly climbed up to the watchtower on the wall, turning on the flashlight.

A strong light beamed out, illuminating the area of the battle.

Streams of ghosts, like smoke, flew up into the sky.

Wu Heng walked swiftly towards where the suit-clad skeleton was and said to the air, “You go absorb the remnant souls, and keep an eye on the battlefield, remember to inform me if there's danger.”

“We know, Uncle!”

“Don't worry, we won't let you be in danger.”

The two ghosts flew swiftly to the battlefield overhead.

Wu Heng approached the suit-clad zombie and said, “The Skeleton Flying Dragon has been loaded with ammo, let them start bombing, be mindful of the distance.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!

As he finished speaking, a series of whooshing sounds passed from behind him.

The Skeleton Flying Dragons climbed to a certain height, and a downpour of iron engulfed the horde of zombies.

Boom boom boom~!

Explosive roars like detonations resounded.

The once formidable horde of zombies was gone in an instant.

And the Zombie King hiding far within the horde also looked up in shock towards the sky.

After the Skeleton Flying Dragons passed by, they circled half around and flew back.

Rustle rustle~!

The remaining zombies scattered once more.

Avoiding the main road, they entered the Withered Wood Forest on both sides and continued to rush forward.

On its second sortie, the Flying Dragon dropped iron bombs into the forest, decimating another large group of zombies.

“Advance,” Wu Heng ordered.

The Skeleton Army began to move forward.

With the advantage in weapons and levels, this force was like an indestructible barrier, retreating step by step against the oncoming zombies.

And the spears in the front row were already skewering rotten corpses.

Roar~!

The Zombie King let out another ear-piercing roar.

Wu Heng was instantly alert, “Defense!”

The skeletons squatted down immediately, lowering their centers of gravity, spears pointed forward.

And the next second, the zombies turned around almost in unison and sprinted into the darkness behind them.

“Pursue,” Wu Heng commanded.

Rustle rustle~!

The half-squatting skeletons surged forward.

They began to chase and slaughter the fleeing zombies.

Glenda quickly flew down and said, “The Zombie King is over there.”

Wu Heng immediately looked in the direction indicated.

In the darkness, he could only see swathes of zombies but not the Zombie King's figure.

He took out an Elf Magic Carpet, flew up into the air, and Barrett pointed into the distance, “Glenda, I can't see the target.”

Glenda flew out quickly.

Hovering in mid-air, she pointed towards a spot below.

Bang~!

The explosion sounded.

A row of zombies instantly shattered, and the figure of the Zombie King could faintly be seen stumbling down.

Then, Glenda signaled again.

After Wu Heng fired another shot, he could no longer even see Glenda's figure.

Soon, all the zombies on the battlefield had vanished without a trace.

Glenda flew back from afar, “Why did you stop shooting it? It was about to die.”

“I couldn't see it anymore, I couldn't even see you.”

“That's a pity,” sighed Glenda and then added, “But it's almost over, half of its body is gone, yet its regenerative ability is still pretty strong, and it keeps running away tirelessly.”

“When the time comes, we'll gather some intelligence and catching it won't be hard.”

“Hmm,” Glenda nodded and flew back into the sky.

Wu Heng stepped off the Flying Carpet.

The skeletons began cleaning up the battlefield, and Wu Heng also worked on converting the zombies.

Dawn broke.

Wu Heng sat in his bedroom eating breakfast.

The door opened, and Qi Hancai walked in from outside.

After taking a sip of water, she said, “That rescue team must have some serious issues in their heads, insisting on running over to our side, it's infuriating.”

In the latter half of the night, Qi Hancai led the convoy back as well.

She would usually stay here, but just yesterday afternoon, she took the convoy to deliver the Special Item “Sincere Clay Doll” to Li Yahong, not expecting to run into this incident.

“How did they provoke these zombies?” Wu Heng asked.

In fact, without Wu Heng's arrival, the suited Skeletons would have been enough to cope with these hordes.

The Skeletons' levels and equipment also gave them an advantage, and it was impossible for the defense to break.

At least, last night's zombies could not have taken the military factory.

Qi Hancai said, “According to them, they had deployed the army to enter the city and fight the zombies, but they retreated without engaging in combat. The zombies followed the retreating vehicles back and found their base.”

Wu Heng's eyebrows raised, “Their base is gone?”

“Gone, they all ran out and then led the trouble here to us,” Qi Hancai sighed. “If they hadn't sent us a message in advance, I would suspect they were trying to trap us.”

“Who is in the rescue team?”

Qi Hancai pondered for a moment and said, “Roughly divided into three types, one is the rescue team led by Commander Liu, these people have strong discipline and combat capability.”

“The second is the Tiancheng Group, they are the second largest force within the rescue team, they have a group of highly educated professionals, experts in machinery research and development, and manufacturing. In their related fields, it seems if you need any type of machinery, they can develop a corresponding production line for you–I believe that's the idea,” she explained.

“The third consists of ordinary residents, they are from various places, and there are quite a few who have come together from here and there.”

Wu Heng listened attentively and nodded along.

This rescue team still had some background, preserving a group of high-level professionals.

In terms of professions from the Otherworld, they were essentially a group of Mechanists.

Wu Heng asked, “What are their plans next?”

“I just spoke with them. Commander Liu wants to use our airport to directly follow the main station when they come over for trade next time,” Qi Hancai answered.

They had been saved by him, but hadn't considered staying.

But it didn't matter–everyone had their own plans.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Heng said, “Their actions have caused us a certain amount of panic and loss. If other shelters encounter hordes and learn to lead them to other shelters like they did, everything will become chaotic.”

“Yes, indeed, it wasn't very ethical.”

Wu Heng glanced at her and continued, “No need to say anything to them yet. When they want to use the airport to leave, keep the Tiancheng Group here, along with their weapons and equipment. As for the other residents, if they wish to stay, we'll take them in; if not, they can go to the main station with them.”

“What if the people from Tiancheng Group don't want to stay?” Qi Hancai asked.

“There's no such thing as 'willing or unwilling'; this is compensation for the loss they've caused us. They can't always have it their way,” Wu Heng said, taking a sip of his soup.

Qi Hancai nodded, “I understand. Over the next few days, I'll have someone make contact with Tiancheng and compile a list of their personnel.”

While establishing the base, they really hadn't forced anyone to do anything.

Even when they rescued survivors, they would bring those willing back with them, and leave the unwilling be.

This time, however, the approach was distinctly more forceful.

They needed to make them pay some sort of price for last night's actions.

“Have you eaten yet?” Wu Heng inquired.

“Not yet!”

“Eat quickly, we still have a long way to go; what if you starve?” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Qi Hancai sat down opposite him and started eating as well.

They casually chatted about other matters.

After breakfast.

Wu Heng sent Xiao Xiao to eavesdrop on the rescue team for some news.

In private, these people had held four meetings in a row.

They were discussing the capabilities of the military factory and their next steps toward heading to the main station.

Regarding last night's battle,

they all expressed doubt and shock.

Even though they had heard of the Skeletons before, they had not expected there to be so many, nor for them to be so fiercely combative.

They were essentially crushing the zombie hordes as they fought.

Among these topics, there was no mention of doing anything to this place; the most common sentiment was to maintain a good relationship.

Not to make enemies.

They stayed at the military factory until the afternoon.

After confirming there were no problems or dangers, Wu Heng greeted Qi Hancai,

then returned to the dorms and stepped through the boundary door.

Back to Gold and Silver Island.

Wu Heng appeared in the study.

Two Ghosts were released.

Xiao Xiao and Glenda, floating to his left and his right.

In last night's battle,

Xiao Xiao had advanced to level 15, unlocking “Paranormal Phenomenon”.

Glenda, on the other hand, had advanced to level 17, one step away from reaching level 18 and becoming a fifth-tier professional.

Wu Heng, looking at Glenda about to read, said, “Glenda, now at level 17, give it your all today and advance directly to level 18.”

Glenda looked up and said, “Didn't we just get back? Are we going over there again?”

Glenda had no objections to levelling up.

The higher the level, the better.

“Didn't we obtain several level 18 Ghosts of the deceased before? Holding onto them takes up space, first absorb one and see if you can reach level 18,” Wu Heng suggested.

After thinking for a moment, Glenda nodded, “Okay.”

Together, they went downstairs, entering a room on the third floor.

Wu Heng took out the Demon Soul Pot and placed it in the middle of the room, continuing to cast “White Bone Cage”.

Ominous white bones enveloped the Demon Soul Pot.

He then activated the Demon Soul Pot, and a Ghost of a bald, thick-browed middle-aged man floated out from inside.

A Church of Divine Punishment enforcer, level 18 Great Fist Master–Kai Xiu.

The Ghost's level was 12.

With Glenda at level 17, absorbing a level 12 was no issue at all.

The Ghost looked around, slightly bewildered, and then saw Wu Heng outside.

His brows furrowed as he cursed, “You little brat, here to see your grandpa?”
