The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 102
Chapter 102: Chapter 101, Charge Forward_l
When everything was about ready.
Wu Heng gave a large wave of his hand, the car started, and it entered the main road straight down the route.
After entering the main road, the path became immensely wider.
Both sides were piled up with scrapped cars, but they didn’t entirely block off the route.
Wu Heng sat in the passenger seat of the minivan in the middle, while the rear seats were occupied by skeletons.
The vehicle was driven by the car repairman, Qiangzi.
Never did he imagine that he’d been assigned to this task by Yama himself, driving and continuously wiping his sweat.
The various skeletons behind him scared the hell out of him.
With the cars arranged in a row, their rumbling noises resonated.
Soon enough, the zombies surged out from both sides, lunging towards the convoy.
The ‘pat-pat’ slapping sound paired with the piercing sound of their claw-like hands tearing at the metal body of the vehicle rang out.
This is when the importance of modifications was apparent.
The reinforced metal plates and bars significantly hindered the zombies’ damage to the car body.
But Wu Heng also noticed a detail.
Zombies killed by the car seemingly don’t provide experience.
Otherwise, it could be that he, being in the passenger seat, wasn’t eligible for experience.
After the convoy drove out a distance.
As per plan, they intended to steer clear of a detour and bypass the residential complex with concentrated population.
However, they began to slow down as soon as they entered.
Zi zi~!
The vehicle’s radio crackles with electricity.
Then, the voice of Li Yahong transmits, “The road ahead is blocked, we need to stop the cars and clean the road up.”
“Convoy, be prepared to stop. All humans, stay in the vehicles and wait for my orders.” Wu Heng conveyed over the radio, then said to the ‘Big Head Skeleton’ sitting behind him, “Have the skeletons disembark to kill the zombies.”
Ziya-!
The entire convoy has gradually halted.
The skeletons within the vehicle quickly jumped off.
They began to confront the incoming zombies from all around.
Yet, more skeletons quickly formed a Spear Array to meet a large group of corpses tailing the convoy.
Bang bang bang-!
The dull sound of the impact resounds.
The corpses slammed into the skeleton squad, and also onto the vehicle’s deck.
The gruesome battle began, the sound of shrieks and chopping meat echoed through the entire battlefield.
The drivers, on the other hand, clung to their seats with terror-filled eyes.
They prayed fervently that the skeletons couldn’t lose.
“Big Guy, you also go to help.”
Big Guy directly walked off the bus and rushed towards the direction of the group of corpses.
Like an out-of-control truck, he crashed in reverse into the crowd.
Huge chunks of zombies were thrown off their feet, while the skeleton’s spears began advancing forward, killing swaths of the undead.
The fight was quick, and it soon approached its end.
The remaining sporadic zombies were chopped down by the skeletons.
The entire battlefield was enveloped in the acrid stench of rotting corpses.
“Clear the Battlefield, move all the corpses to one side.” Wu Heng ordered the Big Head Skeleton.
All the skeletons began to move the corpses to the sides.
The corpses would be taken away on the way back.
So, they must be placed clearly not to forget to take them when they return.
Then, he picked up the microphone and said, “Li Yahong, lower the forklift, I’ll let the skeletons guard you.”
The forklift was lowered, and Li Yahong began to move the scrapped cars to one side.
In no time, the blockage has been relocated, and the road cleared.
All skeletons got back in the vehicles and the convoy resumed moving forward.
Sun Light Hotel.
In a room on the second floor of the hotel.
“Brother, go by yourself, don’t worry about me. If we keep hiding like this, we will both die. You leave, I won’t blame you for selling out your teammate.”
At one side, a little girl sitting in a wheelchair was quietly talking as she spun the wheels.
A young man was also standing by a window not far away.
He opened a slit in the curtain and peeked outside.
Upon hearing his sister’s words, he immediately gestured to stop her from going on, looking somewhat anxious, “Shush-! The zombies outside have increased. Lower your voice. If we’re heard, it’s all over.”
When the little girl heard the increase in the horde of zombies, she immediately closed her mouth, her face becoming tense as well.
The man walked back, sat down next to her, and whispered, “Don’t worry. If things really go wrong, I’ll lure the zombies away. You then make your escape.”
She had been unable to stand up due to a car accident in middle school.
They had saved some money for a vacation planned for this year, but just as they arrived, the zombie outbreak occurred and they have been trapped here for quite some time.
Fortunately, as they were on a trip, they had bought loads of local specialties and various snacks, along with the supplies provided by the hotel, barely managing to sustain until now.
However, persisting was nothing more than delaying the inevitable death—a fate that might have already been sealed.
“Brother, are we going to die?” The sister suddenly changed the tone of her voice and asked fearfully.
Her brother hugged her and reassured her softly, “Don’t talk pessimistically. Maybe a rescue team will enter the city in a few days, and we will be rescued then.”
“Brother, I’m holding you back. Otherwise, you could definitely escape,” she continued.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“Will the rescue team really come?”
“Perhaps!”
“How about we capture one of the zombies? I’ve read in stories that being bitten by a zombie can lead to evolution, provided you don’t die first. Perhaps my legs would recover, and we wouldn’t need to hide anymore.”
“Damn, who wrote that? Which platform? I’ll report them.”
“You never know?”
“Those zombies outside, they all turned into zombies after getting bitten or scratched. Have you seen anyone evolve? You even believe in novels.”
Ao ao~!
Suddenly, all the zombies outside the hotel roared in unison.
The sound echoed throughout the area.
The siblings’ faces changed, both shuddering in fright.
The sister tilted her head to listen and immediately said, “Brother, these zombies seem to be moving away. The sound is getting distant.”
“Shush, don’t speak. What if we’re heard?”
“Really, it’s getting farther. They seem to be moving in a different direction. Take a look and see what’s happening.” She urged.
The brother hurried over to the window, opened a small spot in the corner, and looked outside.
It was nearly dusk.
A large group of zombies was indeed rushing in a specific direction, as if a target was attracting them.
Looking in the direction of the horde.
He saw a convoy of army-green vehicles rushing from a distance on the road.
“Sister, sister, it’s the rescue team. Damn, there really is a rescue team.”
The sister wheeled over, her arms propped on the armrest to look out the window as well, then she immediately said, “Wow…, we’re saved. No, but, they won’t just drive by without stopping from this side, right?”
This seemed likely, judging from the speed of the vehicles, they don’t appear to have plans to stop.
“You lock the door. I’m going to the roof to get their attention.” The brother said in a hurry.
“No, it’s too dangerous.”
“This is our last chance. If it doesn’t work, we will either starve to death or be eaten. Listen to me, this is our last hope.”
Without further ado, the brother rushed out and ran towards the roof.
Zizi~!
Li Yahong’s voice came from the walkie-talkie, “Zombies appeared on both sides, numerous, probably around fifty or sixty.”
“Is the road clear?”
“No problems with the road, can pass normally.” Li Yahong answered.
“Just rush through, don’t waste time on the road.” Wu Heng directly ordered.
“Ok!”
The convoy accelerated again, forcefully knocking away the zombies that pounced at them, and sped ahead.
Zombies from both sides rushed onto the road like mad.
There were incessant sounds of beating against the vehicle and the bumps from driving over corpses.
