The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

The Flying Dragon was a bit faster.

By the time he arrived, there was still time to spare.

He waited by the roadside for a while before he saw a column of vehicles approaching rapidly from afar.

From a distance, one could see the bloodstains on the body armor of the vehicles and the limbs hanging from the hood.

It seemed that even though they had skirted around the edge of the city, it had not been entirely smooth sailing.

But they were still fortunate.

The entire fleet did not seem to have suffered any serious damage.

Hiss~!

The fleet began to slow down and stopped opposite him.

Qi Hancai jumped down from a vehicle and ran over quickly.

“My king, more than 20 survivors and a thousand skeletons, we’ve brought them all over,” she said.

As she spoke, quite a few survivors got off the vehicles behind her, and as they opened the backs of the trucks, a large number of skeletons poured out.

Dressed in leather armor, wielding spears, and a few with longbows slung over their shoulders, arrows in quivers.

“Good work,” said Wu Heng.

“It’s my duty,” Qi Hancai answered with a smile.

Wu Heng then turned to the Big Head Skull next to him and commanded, “Form up the Skeleton Warriors!”

With a rustle, the scattered Skeleton Warriors quickly converged toward his side.

They formed a tight formation.

Wu Heng turned back and instructed Qi Hancai, “Have the fleet follow behind.”

“Okay!”

…

They made their way off the main road.

Ahead were various auto repair shops.

As the Skeleton Army advanced, the moans of zombies began to sound in the area.

Zombies emerged from the alleys and buildings around, issuing desperate roars as they ran towards the skeleton troops.

Bang, bang, bang~!

The zombies crashed into the skeleton crowd, biting and tearing wildly.

The Skeleton Army kept thrusting their spears forward, impaling the attacking horde, causing the zombies to fall one after the other.

Wu Heng ordered the advance to continue while he released [Corpse Battlefield] from behind.

Many fallen bodies rose from the ground and joined the ranks of the skeletons.

Qi Hancai handed over the truck to someone else and quickly walked over, “Should we scavenge around here?”

“Check the vicinity, get some weapons for the skeletons first, and we’ll come back for the rest tomorrow,” Wu Heng decided.

They needed to return to the old factory district before dark.

They could not delay here too long.

Qi Hancai nodded and quickly went to the rear, ordering everyone to scavenge supplies from the surroundings.

A group of survivors handed newly scavenged tools like kitchen knives and hammers to the new skeletons.

The rest followed the fleet forward, transferring the important supplies to the back of the trucks.

The skeletons were now decently armed.

Wu Heng continued to order a forward march.

The Skeleton Army passed through the area and entered an old residential district.

More hordes converged from within the district, charging toward the Skeleton Army.

The number rapidly increased in everyone’s sight, quickly surpassing that of the skeletons, at least five thousand or more.

Qi Hancai by his side changed her expression, slapped her forehead, and said, “Qiangzi brought a lot of Solid Iron Bullets, should we use them?”

Wu Heng glanced around, “There’s no need, the distance is too close, you fall back and make sure everyone stays inside the vehicles.”

“Okay!” Qi Hancai ran back quickly and dove into a truck.

Wu Heng watched the approaching horde and first cast [White Bone Armor] on himself.

White bones covered his body.

Only his eyes and nose were left with a gap.

Then, he directly gave the command, “Archers, fire at will!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!

Dense arrows rained down from the sky, shooting into the zombie horde with a crackling sound.

Many zombies were turned into porcupines, their bodies wavering and falling, tripping over the zombies behind them.

The archers did not stop shooting.

Wu Heng also timed it right, continuously casting Grease Skill and Fireball Technique.

The Fireball exploded above the horde, igniting the grease, and erupting into a towering inferno.

The zombies charged fearlessly into the fire, their bodies alight, staggering a few steps before falling just two meters away from the skeleton formation.

It was as if he had returned to the time when he first learned Grease Skill.

Luring the zombies through the fire.

As the intensity of the flames receded, the zombies plunged directly into the midst of the skeletons’ Spear Array.

A fierce battle ensued.

But the number of corpses, with the attacks of fire and arrows, was reduced by more than half, and was not as numerous as before.

In a fierce melee.

The battle gradually drew to a close, the skeletons stood by, and Wu Heng began to release [Corpse Battlefield]; the number of skeletons increased once again.

Once the conversion was complete, the army continued to advance along the road.

Fighting ceaselessly against the hordes of corpses, replenishing the number of skeletons.

…

As dusk approached.

The shelter in the old factory area suddenly became chaotic and noisy.

People outside panicked and ran back, while those inside the building also gathered at the entrances and windows, looking out with terrified expressions.

At the entrance to the factory area.

Countless figures slowly appeared in sight, wearing protective gear, leather helmets on their heads, and carrying metal spears in their hands.

One could even see the not yet dried blood stains on the spears.

And in the uncovered parts of their faces beneath the helmets, the pale skulls and the faint blue fire in their eye sockets could be seen.

It was as if an army had emerged from hell and was walking this way.

Inside the factory area, everyone’s eyes widened, their expressions turning increasingly frightened and chaotic as the Skeleton Army approached.

“What, what’s happening, why are there such monsters?”

“Is it, is it that auto repair shop leader’s Skeleton Soldiers?”

“Let’s run, grab the food and run!”

The noise and chaos surrounded them.

And in the midst of the chaos, even as some were preparing to pack their belongings and flee.

The Skeleton Army entered directly into the large yard of the factory, reassembled, and arranged themselves in neat formations facing outward.

Six trucks also drove in from behind the ranks of the skeletons.

Wu Heng, accompanied by Qi Hancai and others, got off the trucks and walked towards the dormitories of the old factory district.

Only then did the survivors in the dormitories begin to quiet down.

It was indeed that leader’s bone soldiers, capable of wearing protective gear and armor.

Walking into the dormitory building, the rest looked over at him collectively.

Wu Heng directly said, “Everyone go help unload the trucks, Zhao Yanqiu keeps records of the supplies on the trucks.”

“Oh, okay!” Zhao Yanqiu responded.

The rest also immediately sprang into action, dodging the skeletons and beginning to unload supplies from the trucks.

…

On the first floor, in a conference room that had been converted,

Several people sat around a wooden table to discuss the development plans for the days ahead.

After the discussion.

Wu Heng directly said, “Qi Hancai, you were the leader of the Dongan Shelter before, now you will handle the distribution and management here in the old factory district.”

Qi Hancai, sitting by the side, was startled, then showed a look of joy.

He cleared his throat, “Thank you for your trust, I will do well.”

Since coming from Dongan Village, Qi Hancai had acted more like the head of security.

Now being given a position as the leader of a territory, his status had clearly risen.

Perhaps not as much as Li Yahong, but definitely surpassing Qiangzi, Wang Chenggang, and others.

Wu Heng nodded, and continued, “Wang Chenggang, you are in charge of leading everyone to resume production. We have a large area of workshop space here that will all be utilized. We only need to produce spears, arrows, and those solid iron bullets.”

“Understood!” Wang Chenggang nodded.

Next was Zhao Yanqiu, as Xiao Xiao’s mother, and also someone Wu Heng could trust.

After all, her daughter was in his care.

“Zhao Yanqiu, you continue to handle the radio, as well as the tally of personnel and materials. If you’re too busy, find two people to help.”

“Alright,” Zhao Yanqiu nodded in understanding.

With their respective responsibilities assigned.

The sky had gradually darkened.

“Okay then, everyone go back and rest, we can do any work tomorrow.”

They nodded, stood up, and left.

…

He returned to the dormitory.

When Xiao Xiao came back from ‘Zhao Yanqiu,’ he reopened the boundary door and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

The sky here had also darkened.

After eating a late-night snack downstairs, he went to the courtyard for some simple exercises.

Turning his head, he saw the neighboring ‘Sha Naila’s’ study still lit.

It seemed she was up late again.

Wu Heng stood thinking for a moment, then folded a paper crane and cast [Animate Object] on it.

The paper crane flapped its wings and took flight.

It flew past the guards below and directly into the room through the window.

Soon after, ‘Sha Naila,’ looking disheveled and radiantly beautiful, poked her head out.

Wu Heng jumped up and waved his arms at her.

Sha Naila looked out, her face brightened with joy, then she gave him an annoyed white look before pointing at the rooftop.

…

On the rooftop.

Wu Heng opened his arms and embraced ‘Sha Naila,’ the stunning Wood Elf who jumped over.

“Why haven’t you slept yet!”

“Can’t sleep, I’m reading the comics ‘Mini’ gave me,” Sha Naila squirmed in his embrace, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Missed you, couldn’t quite fall asleep.”

Sha Naila pouted, “Smooth talker, I don’t like you that way.”

“Alright, I was busy with some things earlier, but I did indeed miss you.”

Sha Naila’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, “Okay, got it, no need to keep saying it.”

After speaking, she looked down at her feet, “Why is your roof like this?”

“Solar panels, a type of device that can convert energy,” Wu Heng tightened his arms around her waist.

He continued, “It’s cold up here, let’s go down!”
