The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 106
Chapter 106: Chapter 105, Beastman Teammate_l
In a situation like this, talking about order and rules seems somewhat unrealistic.
But under the guise of a gathering place, they tricked the survivors into coming.
Using the men as bait, and keeping the women for their own use.
Just the thought of it gives you the shivers.
What kind of person could come up with such a plan?
To cheat the hard-won survivors into coming, just to use them as zombie bait.
And at the very beginning, their target was here.
They were still retrofitting vehicles and gathering food at that time.
Just thinking about it gives me the chills.
If we had come, wouldn’t we have ended up just like they described?
Wu Heng continued to ask, “Who is in charge in the prison?”
“Chen Jinlong!”
“What’s his status?”
“A convicted criminal, and now the boss inside the prison.”
A convicted criminal?
How could a convicted criminal become the boss?
Even with the zombie outbreak, prisoners are usually kept in individual cells. How could this convicted criminal grab power?
“How did he become the boss?” Wu Heng continued.
“I’m not sure, but I heard he is ruthless, commands respect, and has guns under his control.”
With that, the corpse lay back down, returning to its lifeless state.
Wu Heng didn’t say much, continuing to use the “Communicate with the Dead” ability. The second corpse sat up.
Wu Heng directly asked, “How did Chen Jinlong take control of the prison?”
The man’s mouth has been slashed wide open by a vegetable knife, making his speech whistle, “During the zombie outbreak, the prison evacuated non-infected prisoners, and he took the opportunity to grab some weapons and take over the prison.”
So he took advantage of the situation and seized control of the prison.
For someone like Chen Jinlong, a serious criminal, this lawless environment was more suitable.
While everyone else is struggling to survive and seeking official shelters.
He starts exploiting some loopholes, attracting people to feed himself and supply him with manpower.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, and continued asking, “Is Chen Jinlong tough?”
“Everyone is afraid of him. Plus, he has consumed a Corpse Core and apparently developed some kind of superpower,” the corpse calmly answered.
This sentence surprised even Wu Heng.
Someone actually developed superpowers by consuming a Corpse Core?
“What superpower?”
“Don’t know.”
“Did you see him consume the Corpse Core?”
“Yes, we killed a mutant police dog. He ate the Corpse Core and his body clearly beefed up a lot. He claimed that he had awakened a superpower, and everyone believed him.”
It seemed he indeed had consumed a Corpse Core.
His physique and luck were top-notch.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, then asked, “How many guns are there in the prison in total?”
“Roughly over a hundred.”
After speaking, this corpse also lay flat.
Then, Wu Heng continued questioning two more corpses and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the entire prison.
The leader in the prison was this Chen Jinlong.
Already a tough character, he controlled the guns and consumed a Corpse Core, giving him control in the prison.
Aside from the prisoners, he would also select survivors with special skills, good physiques, and ruthless characters to join them.
As for weapons, they not only have rifles, submachine guns, but also a machine gun on the guard towers of the wall.
Unless a zombie horde was lured over, an ordinary group of zombies would have a hard time breaching this prison.
When all the questions were answered.
Wu Heng decided not to question the remaining corpses.
“What should we do now?” Li Yahong asked.
Wu Heng considered this for a moment and responded, “Let’s go back.”
The aim of this trip was to obtain rifles, and it was already accomplished.
Wu Heng didn’t like the way things were being done in the prison, but to truly take over would be a challenge.
The four trucks could only carry a few hundred skeletons.
They probably wouldn’t even be able to get over the wall, let alone take it down.
Moreover, there’s no need to create a conflict with them now.
“All right!”
Hearing that they were going back, Li Yahong fully agreed.
Who would want to mess with a prison full of convicts armed with rifles and machine guns? It was better to keep a safe distance.
The two of them walked back from behind the house, returning to their fleet.
Meanwhile, another vehicle had been added to the front of the line.
Qiangzi reversed the car into the middle of the fleet.
He said, “I found it over there, there are also some bullets inside.”
Bullets?
Qiangzi got out of the car, carrying a bag.
When he opened it, it was filled with bullets.
Looking closely, they appeared to be rifle and submachine gun bullets.
Wu Heng nodded, finding more bullets was a good thing.
The other guys were sweating cold sweat.
They really weren’t planning on letting them through alive, blocking the way with so many bullets.
Wu Heng took the bag from Qiangzi and asked, “Where’s the brother who joined us yesterday?”
Qiangzi called out to a not too far away location, the brother of the new members from yesterday trotted over.
Wu Heng asked, “Can you drive?”
“Yes!”
“Are you able to drive this car?”
“No problem.”
Wu Heng nodded, “Let’s get ready, everyone. We’re heading back.”
Everyone got back in the vehicle and it began to turn around.
They started to head back the way they came.
Dusk.
A transport vehicle slowly came to a halt near the entrance of the village.
Chen Jinlong, with his bare arms, got out of the vehicle, followed by a group of subordinates carrying guns.
He surveyed his surroundings – it was eerily quiet, without a single silhouette in sight.
On the ground, there were some bullet casings visible.
Proof that a clash had taken place here.
“Survey the area.”
Everyone dispersed to conduct the search.
“Brother Long, there’s something over here!”
Chen Jinlong and his men quickly walked over and discovered several bodies in a building.
Even though the bodies were unrecognizable, it was clear that these were his men.
Chen Jinlong looked at the corpses, fury in his eyes, “Little East Auto Repair, you dare to betray me…”
Without a doubt, this incident was linked to Little East Auto Repair.
It had been a while since the zombie outbreak.
This was the first time someone had dared to attack him near the prison.
“Brother Long, shall we chase after them?” a follower asked.
“Chase my ass, it’s getting dark. Going out there is just asking for death!” Chen Jinlong cursed and then said, “Let’s go back. When the opportunity presents itself, I’ll make sure they pay.”
“What about burying our deceased brothers?”
“Bury my ass, let’s go!”
Everyone got back in the vehicle and returned in the direction they came from.
The night was hazy.
The convoy returned to the residential area.
The return journey was smoother than the outbound one.
However, they spent some time collecting the bodies of the zombies they had killed the previous day along the way.
“We’ll head back first,” Li Yahong said.
“Alright, you’ve all worked hard, go home and rest.”
Just as they were about to leave, Li Yahong recalled something and asked, “What if the prison contacts us? What should we say?”
“Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare bring up this matter if they wish to continue deceiving survivors into going there. They would be more afraid that we would bring it up,” Wu Heng replied.
After thinking about it, Li Yahong felt there was merit to this.
She then asked, “Shouldn’t we expose them? After all, people who go there will likely end up dead.”
Wu Heng considered this and then said, “That depends on what you want to do. However, even if you did, it might not have much effect. Most people consider the prison safe, and they might not believe you.”
“Well… I still want to say it so that those who can still hold on wouldn’t rush over there,” Li Yahong said.
“Alright, it wouldn’t hurt to mention it.” Wu Heng had no intention to stop her.
“Alright, then we’ll head home first.”
As Li Yahong and the others left, Wu Heng instructed Big Head Skeleton to lead the regular skeletons to move the bodies.
Wu Heng then took out the obtained rifle and began to study it.
He then passed it on to Basen and Bawudong to familiarize themselves with the usage of the rifle.
When at a distance, they were to use the rifle to attack.
In another world, even though everyone was a professional.
They still wouldn’t stand a chance against a hail of bullets.
Wu Heng entered his room to rest when he felt it was about time.
The next day.
Wu Heng returned to Lundham city via the boundary door.
After having breakfast at a nearby tavern with Basen and Bawudong, they headed to the Professionals Association together.
He had two days to sort out the housing issue.
Today he had to report.
Upon arrival at the office for officeholders, he received a response and entered the room.
“Sir Gomez, I’ve come to report today,” Wu Heng stated outright.
The officeholder, styling his hair, turned to look at Wu Heng and asked, “Oh, have you sorted out your housing situation?”
“Yes, it’s all taken care of.”
“In that case, starting today, your Squadron 12 is officially on duty.” The officeholder smoothed his hair, sat down at his desk, took out a folder and handed it over, “These are the team members assigned to you by the Association. They should also be here today, you can meet them later.”
“Okay.” Wu Heng took the folder and opened it to take a look.
The first line.
Name: Duke, Race: Beastman.
Well, they’ve assigned a beastman to his team.
“You can get to know your new team member first, I’ll see if there are any tasks for you, to help all of you familiarize yourselves with the environment,” the officeholder continued.
“Alright!” Wu Heng nodded, directly exiting the room.
On the way, he inquired a staff member about the location of the break room.
Upon arriving at the break room of Squadron 12, he pushed the door open to find a green-skinned Beastman sitting inside.
He was tall and muscular, sporting an iron armor and a giant axe lay in front of him.
Noticing someone entering, he looked up.
“What’s up?” he asked in a buzzing voice.
“I’m the leader of Team 12,”
“Ah? Oh, hello, Captain.” The Beastman stood up, greeting him while scratching his head.
Wu Heng looked up at him, estimating that the Beastman had to be at least two and a half meters tall..
