The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: Chapter 186, The Plants Rebel (One more update, Not yet edited)_2
Just like forcibly snapping a branch.
More and more Mushroom Zombies began to gather along the road, spreading their poisonous mist as they moved.
Soon, a massive horde of zombies was formed.
They filled up every inch of the view ahead.
Jostling and pushing against each other, they advanced towards us.
However, their speed was somewhat slow, and their steps were faltering.
Wu Heng looked at the poisonous mist in front of him and started to ponder.
He raised his hand, casting a Fireball Technique towards the sky above the zombie horde.
The blazing fireball soared into the sky, burst into an explosion with a bang, and descended onto the poisonous mist in a rain of fire.
The moment the flames fell,
All the toxic mist, like burning cotton wool, the flames spread out, completely burning away the fine particles in the mist.
But before Wu Heng could rejoice, the poisonous mist produced by the zombies quickly covered the area again.
There was no significant change.
It seemed that this tactic wasn’t very effective.
Seeing the Mushroom Zombies steadily approaching, Wu Heng put on his anti-poison gas mask.
He gave an order, “Prepare to throw spears!”
Whoosh!
All the skeletons drew out their throwing spears, taking on a throwing posture.
When the zombie horde entered their firing range,
“Release!”
Whooosh~!
The throwing spears whistled through the air, falling into the midst of the zombie horde.
They landed with a clatter, and at the same time, a large number of zombies fell like cut wheat.
Before he could give the order for a second wave of spear throwing,
Wu Heng’s brow furrowed once again.
The fallen Mushroom Zombies shakily rose back to their feet.
The casualties were much lower than expected.
It seemed that this type of zombie had an enhanced body, harder to kill than ordinary zombies.
“They’ve sacrificed speed to strengthen their bodies,”
Muttered Wu Heng.
After some initial probing, it was clear that the Mushroom Zombies moved slower but their own defenses had increased significantly.
To say they had more defense would be inaccurate, perhaps it’s better to say they had tougher flesh.
“Prepare to throw spears!” said Wu Heng again.
The skeleton horde took out their second batch of throwing spears.
“Release!”
Whoosh~! The second round of throwing spears flew out like raindrops falling into the zombie horde.
The zombies were pierced by the spears and fell with a clatter.
“Throw spears…Release!”
Whooosh~!
Then came the third and fourth rounds of spear throwing, clattering down onto the zombie horde.
Even if their skin was exceptionally resilient,
Many fell under the relentless onslaught of spear volleys.
The casualties were not few.
The mushrooms atop the deceased zombies’ heads closed up, stopping their release of poison gas.
Just like they had died along with them.
Wu Heng watched as the horde got closer.
Just before they reached him, he cast a Grease Skill and a Fireball Technique to ignite it.
A raging fire instantly soared into the sky, its fierce heat distorted the surrounding air.
Wu Heng quickly retreated to avoid the incoming poison fog carried by the horde.
And the Mushroom Zombies showed no increase in intelligence.
Groaning and staggering, they charged into the fire.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~!
The raging fire engulfed the zombie horde, and the mushrooms atop their heads burst one after the other under the immense heat.
Their slow movement only made the fire burn more intensely.
The flames reached well over two meters high.
Soon, the zombies, looking like charred corpses, sprang from the fire and continued charging.
Only that the mushrooms on their heads had now shrunk to the size of charred garlic cloves.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~!
The charred corpses slammed into the spears, producing a sound as their flesh and blood were pierced through.
The zombies roared and clawed,
And the spear-wielding skeletons ceaselessly thrust their spears, stabbing through the enemy’s body.
The two sides began their close-quarter brawl.
Suddenly, more zombies charged from the lanes on both sides.
Wu Heng continued to direct his troops, charging headfirst to meet the zombies in the lanes. The sounds of hacking and slashing, and the roars reverberated throughout the space.
…
The battle grew more intense.
Bodies and bones gradually formed small mountains on the battlefield.
The number of zombies far exceeded the number of skeletons,
After all, they were transported here by truck, not the entire force.
But the skeletons were not ordinary level one skeletons; their level was not low, fully equipped, and when they fought together, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
While Wu Heng was giving consecutive orders and directing two Scary Claw Monsters to assist with the lanes,
Xiao Xiao flew back from the enemy’s side.
Pointing to the ‘Shadow City Mall’ building on the ground, Xiao Xiao said, “Uncle, there’s a monster inside that building. It looks so scary.”
Wu Heng’s expression stiffened.
After confirming that there would be no unexpected developments at the scene, he asked, “What kind of monster?”
“A person, growing in a tree.”
“In a tree? You mean a big one?”
“Yeah, so scary!”
“Let me take a look!” said Wu Heng.
Xiao Xiao responded and immediately dived into her body.
The shared vision also appeared in her mind.
Inside the Shadow City Mall.
The toxic fog grew denser, the ground was covered with green moss, pillars and facades crawled with vine-like branches, scattered limbs and arms everywhere. The mushrooms that emitted the fog were growing.
The mall was gone by now.
It looked more like a pristine ecological garden.
Xiao Xiao took a tour of the mall.
In an isolated store on the first floor.
She found the monster.
It was a female zombie, her whole body seemed to have fused with the plants.
Her body was wrapped in tree branches, and her torso was covered in various weird fungal plants.
Her feet were connected to the other plants in the building, seemingly unable to move.
Her face was still intact, wearing cracked glasses, and there was a plate on her short skirt, reading ‘Xinxin Seedlings and Flowers’.
This zombie was constantly howling, her body shaking with each howl.
The fungi emitted more toxic fog.
It seems like she had transformed this place into her den, or breeding ground.
She was spreading spores outward, gradually dispersing parasites.
Was this a Level 2 zombie?
Or even higher.
The body and plants were in a perfect symbiotic relationship, and she could spread seeds to ordinary zombies.
This was indeed a strange zombie!
Xiao Xiao’s gaze continued to circulate around the whole area.
She did not find any other mutated zombies.
In normal circumstances.
This area was large and was the most bustling section.
With such a dense population of zombies, there should be more mutated zombies born.
But this was clearly different from the analysis.
There was no second type of mutated zombie.
Maybe two types of mutated zombies can coexist.
Wu Heng released Xiao Xiao again, asked her to stay alert nearby, and continued watching the battlefield.
The Mushroom Zombies, like steam locomotives spewing smoke, charged in groups at the skeleton troops.
With resilient bodies, they resisted the sharp spears.
They fearlessly pounced on the front-rank skeletons.
However, the spears thrust again and again, piercing the rotting bodies and perforating the charging zombies.
Wu Heng glanced at the skeletons beside him and commanded, “Big Guy, Second Chunk, you guys go help. Clean up the horde of corpses as soon as possible.”
Four high skeletons, three meters tall, stood up.
They charged forward with great strides.
Bang, bang, bang~!
Their bodies, like runaway trucks, forcibly plowed a road ahead.
They swung their arms like pendulums, knocking all the zombies around them off their feet.
…
Sssss~!
The walkie-talkie transmitted the sound of an electric current, followed by the voice of Li Yahong, “How is it over there? I see the fog has reduced quite a bit. Do we need to move forward?”
Wu Heng pressed the walkie-talkie switch, his voice came from under the gas mask, “No need, you guys stay where you are, I will let you know when needed.”
“Received, be careful.”
She disconnected the communication.
Wu Heng kept his gaze on the battlefield, ordered directly, “Advance.”
The troop of skeletons immediately began moving.
The spears pointed forward, they slowly advanced.
The tall skeletons and Scary Claw Monster skeletons also began their attack.
With the zombies retreating under their push.
Broken limbs and fragmented bones were scattered all over the ground.
…
Night fell.
The battle on the commercial street was gradually coming to an end.
Bodies littered the entire road, viscous blood pooling into streams.
The remaining scattered Mushroom Zombies struggled to crawl, only to be trampled by the Big Guy and the other skeletons, crushing their skulls and breaking their spines.
An autumn wind blew past, dissipating the original toxic fog.
Wu Heng, leading the skeletons, came directly to the destination of this operation.
Shadow City Mall.
The floor-to-ceiling glass doors were completely shattered.
Only at the edge of the door frame, could you see sharp glass fragments.
“Uncle, the tree monster hasn’t left. It’s still inside,” said Xiao Xiao.
Wu Heng nodded, took a distant look at the building which looked like a smoke bomb had just been thrown inside, and said, “Let’s go in and eliminate all targets.”
Big Guy, Scary Claw Monster, along with a large number of skeletons.
They directly stepped into the building.
