Chapter 758: Chapter 613, I'll leave this here with you. Chapter 758: Chapter 613, I'll leave this here with you. The Skeleton Army rushed through the narrow streets.
Their dense footsteps made the row of corrugated iron houses on both sides clatter loudly.
In screams, survivors scattered in panic or locked their doors and windows, hiding in their shabby shanties.
While the Skeleton Army moved swiftly,
Qi Hancai had also successfully taken over the harbor's grand hotel and found the broadcasting equipment.
The voice from the base's broadcast system could be heard.
“We are the Xinfu City emergency response team, and have now fully taken over Shanfu Port Base. Please, survivors, stay inside and do not go out. Those who remain outside, find a safe corner to hide. If you see any moving skeletons, do not take any drastic actions, as they will not attack survivors on their own.”
The announcement was made three times through the loudspeakers.
The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to cover the entire base.
Only then did the chaotic survivors realize that it seemed some kind of rescue team had taken over the place.
The skeletons they had seen were not some new type of monster.
Perhaps they were a new superpower as spoken of in rumors.
On Wu Heng's end, hearing the broadcast's content,
he confirmed that Qi Hancai had entered the hotel.
He signalled again for the skeletons to increase their pace.
Without any stops along the way,
they quickly neared the inner wall on the landward side.
Bang, bang, bang~!
No sooner had they rounded the corner than intense gunfire erupted.
Bullets rained on the Skull Team, chipping away at their armor and peppering walls and the ground around them with chips and sparks.
“Attack, kill them all,” Wu Heng ordered directly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!
The sound of slicing air filled the sky as the Blood Clan Skeletons took flight and dove into the crowd, causing panic.
The gunshots became disorganized instantly, and the base's military scattered, fleeing in all directions.
Below, the Skeleton Army surged forward, engulfing the encampment beneath the wall.
There wasn't much resistance.
The sounds of fighting quickly ceased, and the attacking skeletons returned to standby mode.
Roar~!
Just as things quieted down inside, the sound of zombie howls came from outside the walls.
Xiao Xiao flew down, “Zombies have been attracted here, about twenty or so.”
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at Glenda.
She nodded in agreement, “About that many.”
“Uncle, what do you mean?”
Wu Heng gave an order to the skeletons, “Blood Clan Skeletons, go kill those outside.”
The Blood Clan Skeletons flew out again, diving down to attack the zombies.
Meanwhile, Wu Heng continued to command the remaining skeletons, “Clear the battlefield, gather up the weapons and armor, and search the nearby rooms as well.”
The standing-by skeletons immediately sprang into action.
Dead bodies were dragged together, and their clothing was stripped off.
Before long, the battle outside the walls concluded, and the Blood Clan Skeletons all flew back.
Rifles and bulletproof vests were all collected and piled to one side. Some bullets and canned food and other rations were found in some of the rooms.
After gathering up the rifles and bulletproof vests,
Wu Heng released [Corpse Battlefield], a grey-white ring expanded, transforming all dead bodies, including those of the zombies outside, into standing skeletons.
The sound of bone rubbing against bone creaked and snapped.
“Open the gate, let those few skeletons outside come in,” Wu Heng said.
The steel door, welded with several layers, was slowly opened.
The skeletons transformed from zombie corpses shook off chunks of rotting flesh from their bodies and stepped in slowly,
joining the ranks of the skeleton team.
“`
Next, Wu Heng began to take inventory of the skeletons.
He selected two hundred ax-wielding skeletons and ten of the Blood Clan skeletons.
“You continue guarding here to prevent zombies from approaching. If there are survivors who provoke or attack, you may retaliate,” Wu Heng told the skeletons left behind.
The skeletons climbed back onto the ramparts.
Armed with weapons, they resumed their roles as guards.
Wu Heng then waved his hand and led the remaining skeletons back the way they had come.
Returning to the hotel.
Qi Hancai explained, “The people who were tied up at the port are all locked up together, what should we do with them next?”
The rest were killed, but the small team that managed the ships at the port hadn't been directly executed.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Heng said, “There are people from the navy among them; get them out. Let the survivors identify the rest–if there's anyone suspicious, kill them.”
“Okay,” Qi Hancai nodded, then added, “There's a storeroom on the first floor with a good amount of food and supplies. It looks like they were controlled by the leader here.”
“Are there any weapons?”
“There are firearms and bullets.”
“Come on, take me there,” Wu Heng said.
The two headed towards one side of the building, where the locks and chains on the iron door had already been opened.
Inside the room were skeletons organizing the supplies.
They separated food, weapons, and everyday items.
On one side of the shelf, there were also stacks of banknotes and gold bricks, each in the shape of a pyramid, ten bricks high, each brick weighing 100 grams, totaling five stacks.
The rest included various gold and silver ornaments, all packed in a box.
This fellow's preparations were quite thorough.
He had even put aside funds for when order was restored.
Wu Heng put the firearms and gold into his Space Ring.
Glancing at Qi Hancai next to him, he searched through the space and found a “Protection Pendant,” which he handed to her.
He said, “This pendant can protect you in critical moments. There might be someone related to those we've killed; be careful.”
Qi Hancai took it and looked it over, “With the skeletons protecting me, where is the danger?”
“There may be no danger this time, but it can still offer protection later on.”
“Okay!” Qi Hancai didn't say much more and immediately put it on around her neck.
The two then headed upstairs.
Qi Hancai continued to ask, “Is there anything else that needs to be done?”
While walking, Wu Heng thought for a moment, “Just manage it the way the base was managed before. If you don't understand something, ask Singh to translate more.”
“I got it.”
The pair made their way to the top floor.
Wu Heng chose an inner suite, “I'll leave this to you. Also, send a message of safety back to our base.”
“Mm,” Qi Hancai nodded.
Wu Heng entered the room and after checking thoroughly, he opened the boundary door and stepped through.
Wu Heng left.
Qi Hancai also made her way back downstairs.
Singh was waiting on the first floor and approached her, saying, “Sister Qi, what should we do next?”
After thinking for a bit, Qi Hancai said, “Broadcast an announcement that survivors will be registered in the square, where they can receive rice and flour. Those with special skills will be allocated additional housing and living spaces.”
“Understood.” Singh went to the broadcasting room and began to make the announcement as instructed.
Soon, a new broadcast was heard throughout the base.
When people living in the makeshift accommodations heard that they could receive rice and flour and that those with special skills would receive better treatment, they began to stir with excitement.
One by one, they came out.
With nervous expressions, they eyed the guarding skeletons and started queuing up to receive their items.
