The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 310: Chapter 255, we didn’t do much

Two skeletons, one level twelve, the other level fifteen.

But the name for both is Skeleton Warrior.

It seems that they really are of the same type.

Wu Heng’s gaze fell onto the level three Mutated Skeleton, about four meters tall, its bones broad and thick, covered with a layer of black keratin on the surface of the white bone.

Now, looking closely, it appeared like it was coated with a layer of black hot glue.

This seems to be inheriting the previous characteristics.

During the transformation, Wu Heng hesitated to convert it into carrion, given that this kind of black keratin was previously covering the skin.

It seemed his gamble was not misplaced.

“From now on you’re called Juye, you’re called Big Guy,” Wu Heng said as he named each of the skeletons before continuing, “Go stand over there for now.”

The two skeletons, although newly named, stood to the side, looking around from time to time.

Wu Heng then picked up an iron spear that a skeleton had retrieved and began to search through the broken flesh.

Two Corpse Cores were selected.

One was a second-level Corpse Core, its fleshy structure filled with blood vessels.

The other’s blood vessels were purple and denser.

It had reached the third-level Corpse Core.

Seeing the third-level Corpse Core, Wu Heng felt a surge of happiness.

With this one, he now had three third-level Corpse Cores in his possession.

The previous two had come from a ‘Withered Plant Monster’ and a level three Big Head Skull.

Yet, the production of elixirs remained slow.

A few days ago, he had just managed to develop the elixir for the second-level Corpse Core; who knew how long it would take for the third level.

If there was a chance, he should buy a few more ‘Alchemic Corpses.’

He took out a plastic bag, picked up the Corpse Cores, and packed them neatly.

Next, he checked the attributes of the level fifteen skeleton

…

[Skeleton Warrior (Level 15)]

[Level: 15.]

[Attributes: Constitution 35, Strength 36, Agility 18, Intelligence 10, Perception 12, Charm 8.]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul, Keratin Carapace.]

[Specialties: Biological Aberration, Constitution Mutation.]

[Keratin Carapace]: Forms a thick layer of keratin on the surface, providing some defense and resistance against blunt force.

[Biological Aberration]: Strength +5, Agility +2.

[Constitution Mutation]: Constitution +3.

Looking at the overall panel, the most noticeable aspect is the increase in attributes.

Constitution 35, Strength 36, these are not low attributes for a level fifteen melee profession.

In terms of traits, [Keratin Carapace] has been added.

That’s the layer wrapped around the exterior of the bones.

It can provide some defense and resistance against blunt force.

At this moment, Li Yahong walked over from the security booth.

Wu Heng handed her the bagged Corpse Cores, “When you have time, take a trip and hand these Corpse Cores to the Alchemy Skeletons.”

“Okay!” Li Yahong took them and placed them in her backpack, then continued, “Should I call Qi Hancai and the others over?”

Wu Heng glanced at the time, two-thirty in the morning.

He said, “Rest in the car tonight, we’ll talk when it’s daylight.”

“Okay!”

The two returned to the coach bus.

Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie and notified the others.

Wu Heng laid out his blanket directly.

Shedding his jacket, he dived straight into Wu Heng’s embrace.

…

“Stop touching, it tickles, and I haven’t even had a bath,” Li Yahong complained softly as she grabbed his hand.

Yet her body snuggled more deeply into his arms.

Then she continued, “The people from Dongan Village must have seen the Skeleton Army and the Flying Dragon by now, if the news spreads, could it affect us?”

Wu Heng slid his hand into the waistband of Li Yahong’s pants, gently kneading, and said, “It shouldn’t be a problem. If they’re smart enough, they won’t deliberately spread the word. Even if they do, it doesn’t matter; within this region, there are no other shelters that can pose a threat to us.”

If news got out, it wouldn’t do them any good.

Besides, in terms of the current shelter power rankings, the auto repair shop was definitely at the top.

But in terms of threats, they did exist.

Modern weapons had the power to completely annihilate an entire Skeleton Army.

However, those with such weapons wouldn’t need to target Wu Heng, as everyone was on the same side at the moment.

“Hmm, considering the way ‘Qi Hancai’ speaks and handles things, she probably isn’t stupid,” said Li Yahong, and lifting her head, she continued, “About tomorrow’s loot, are we still splitting it fifty-fifty?”

“Let’s split it in half! We had agreed on that before, and besides, the most they’d search for is some food. The rest isn’t of much use to them,” Wu Heng said.

“Alright, I’ll talk to her about it tomorrow.”

With that, she curled up in his arms and slowly fell asleep.

…

The next day, in the morning.

Qi Hancai walked briskly towards the entrance of the residential area.

Seeing the dark red stains on the ground and the mountainous piles of corpses on both sides, her face still changed color.

Suppressing the panic in her heart, she hurried past them.

Li Yahong was waiting at the entrance. “Leader Qi, the battle ended late last night; sorry to have made you rest in the car.”

Qi Hancai gave an awkward smile and said, “We weren’t inconvenienced at all. We’ve been in tougher situations than this. Staying in the car is nothing.”

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Li Yahong went straight to the point: “According to our agreement, after the battle, we split the residential area between us. Which do you think is better, dividing by building numbers or splitting along the main road?”

Qi Hancai turned to look at the pile of corpses again and, after thinking for a moment, said, “In yesterday’s battle, we didn’t help at all. We only tagged along for the trip, so let’s forget about our half of the spoils.”

The battle had been too much for them.

Even after it was over, while resting in the car,

Qi Hancai and her people still couldn’t calm their emotions. It was as if they hadn’t closed their eyes all night.

This morning, discussing the matter with Li Yahong,

The other party still wanted to give them half the residential area as originally agreed.

But now it was ‘Qi Hancai’ hesitating whether to accept it.

“Let’s stick to our agreement. I still remember ‘Leader Qi’s’ words: ‘We’re all women here, we should support each other.’

Qi Hancai no longer declined excessively and nodded, “Thank you, then we’ll split from the main road. We’ll take the left side.”

The left side had fewer buildings; it was a concession to Li Yahong.

“Then it’s settled,” Li Yahong nodded, then continued, “Some houses might still harbor zombies. Be careful when scavenging.”

“Alright! I’ll arrange for people to come over as soon as I get back,” Qi Hancai nodded, then prepared to return to the off-road vehicle.

She hadn’t walked far when Li Yahong called out again, “Leader Qi.”

Qi Hancai turned around, “Is there something else?”

“The battle is a secret of the shelter. I hope you can help us keep it that way.”

Qi Hancai nodded, “Don’t worry, I will remind the others not to let anything slip when I get back.”

“Good!”

Qi Hancai nodded again and turned to leave.

Before climbing into the off-road vehicle, she glanced at the busy people in the auto repair shop.

Noticing the absence of the young man in black leather armor from last night’s battle, she got into the vehicle.

The car started and quickly drove away.

…

After a while,

Wu Heng walked over from the direction of the convoy.

Li Yahong said, “Qi Hancai chose the residential buildings on the left.”

“Whichever side she chose doesn’t matter much; we’re not lacking in supplies,” he replied.

“Hmm, when I get back, I’ll arrange for the scavenging.”

“Wait for me a moment; we’ll go back together,” Wu Heng said.

“Then I’ll tell Qiangzi and the others to turn the car around first,” Li Yahong left.

Wu Heng walked directly to where the pile of corpses was, took out his magic wand, and began to release [Corpse Battlefield].

A grey-white circle spread out.

Skeletons tumbled and clambered down from the pile of corpses, joining the ranks.

After releasing the ability several times,

The residential area was filled with skeletons.

He ordered a portion of level 5 skeletons to guard the area, while the rest boarded the trucks.

…

Returning to the bus station,

Li Yahong started gathering people, ready to send them over to scavenge for supplies.

Wu Heng didn’t leave immediately either.

He shouted towards the distance, “Qiangzi!”

Qiangzi, who was chatting with others, ran over quickly.

“Boss, what can I do for you?”

Wu Heng pointed towards the distant Flying Dragon, “Did you see the battle yesterday?”

Qiangzi nodded, “I saw it; it was fierce.”

“The attack pattern is a bit monotonous. Do you have any thoughts?”
