Dealing with zombies, I feel the spear is more useful than the sword.
At least for the sword, you have to chop. With the spear, zombies would just ram into it.
Moreover, the spear’s range is long, which is even safer.
After a flurry of thrusts, it’s hard for the zombies to rush close.
I can buy more spears.
But I can’t buy them too frequently, I should wait a couple of days.
As he was thinking, the Skeleton Warrior had emptied the supermarket.
Wu Heng and Basen returned to Black Stone Town.
After dinner.
Wu Heng was standing up straight, legs spread as wide as his shoulders, his hands tightly holding the sword hilt.
Jianyi was standing next to him, reaching out to correct some of his wrong moves by adjusting his arm holding the sword.
After his movements became standard.
Jianyi then did the same moves next to him, swinging the sword downwards with both arms.
Whoosh-!
The blade sliced through the air, dropping downwards.
Wu Heng followed his example, also raising his sword and chopping down.
Jianyi shook his head, indicating the move was incorrect, and demonstrated again.
Wu Heng watched carefully, continuing to learn from him.
Then, Jianyi took him through relentless sword waving, performing basic drills.
It didn’t look as simple as hacking someone in gangster TV series.
He kept practicing until his arms were a little sore, then he let Jianyi go and went to bed to rest.
The next day.
Wu Heng brought the skeletons to the North Gate again to arrange formation.
“You stand here, spear facing forward, you few over there….”
Unlike the encounter battle from yesterday.
Now there was some time to arrange in advance.
He let the spear-wielding skeletons line up in front of the door in a spear formation.
Once the preparations were almost done, he looked at Basen beside him, “Go up there for a round. If there are any zombies, lead them here, be careful.” Skeleton Basson nodded, squeezed out of the skeleton crowd, and ran forward. The Security Bureau wasn’t far, but it still took a while to reach.
Especially because there was a new residential area in front, which might have a horde of zombies, so he had to be careful.
They sent Basen to attract a circle of enemies first.
Soon, they saw Basen running back from a distance, with about twenty zombies behind him.
The number was not large.
Basen quickly returned, passing through the spear-wielding skeletons at the front, and entered the back.
The zombies that followed roared at the sight of the skeleton crowd and charged forward.
Pu, pu, pu~!
The spears pierced the zombies, splattering dirty blood all over.

[….]
The battle ended quickly.
It was simpler than imagined.
“There’s no danger ahead, right?” Wu Heng asked.
Basen shook his head.
“Retrieve your spears, press forward.” Wu Heng continued to give the order. The Skeleton Warriors all moved, crossed the road, and went to the other side. Along the way, the sporadic zombies rushing over from both sides were killed one by one.
They kept moving forward, passing a community service center.
Broken glass, blood stains all over the floor.
Wu Heng led the skeletons in, checking every room.
There wasn’t much worth scavenging, just some monitors, files and such.
He picked up a backpack and collected some staplers, pens, and some Az, paper.
All was put in the backpack and hung on a skeleton’s back.
They turned at the community service center and entered another road.
A few smashed cars on the not-so-wide road blocked most of the way.
A few zombies wandered between the cracks of the cars.
About 500 meters to the right, you could see the blue, three-story security bureau building.
Zombies rushed out and were killed, everything went smoothly.
Wu Heng waved his hand, saying, “Walk along the edge.”
A few skeletons with souls spread out, directing the skeletons to advance along the sidewalk.
Roar-!
Just when the team was about to cross the car area.
A zombie trapped in the driver’s seat suddenly sat up straight, issuing a roar. Whoosh, whoosh-!
In an instant, two crossbow arrows whistled out, piercing the zombie’s skull from front to back, its head banging on the steering wheel with a thump. Beep !
The harsh car horn sounded instantly. In the quiet environment, it echoed throughout the entire building complex.
Wu Heng’s eyes instantly grew wide.
He hadn’t expected this sort of trigger of a car’s locked alarm.
The car horn was still irritatingly loud.
The surrounding building complex seemed to boil over, with scattered roars heard.
A dense mass of zombies rushed out from the housing estate across, and from the alleys on both sides.
Stepping on cars, another wave of alarm sounds rang out.
“Quick, follow me and charge through.” Wu Heng quickly looked around and ordered, as he started running towards the front.
Splash! Splash!!
The skeletons were no longer cautious in their advancement.
Carrying their weapons, they followed quickly towards the location of the security bureau.
And the surrounding zombies, like a flood, converged on them in an astonishing number.
They quickly rushed into the security bureau.
Basen and Jianyi killed the zombies inside.
“Get in, a few of you block the entrance to the hall.” Wu Heng quickly gave orders.
Outside, a large group of zombies gathered at the gate, shoving and pushing, rushing inward.
[Grease Skill],
Wu Heng released the Grease Skill, forming a smooth area under the zombies’ feet.
Bang, bang, bang!!
In an instant, the zombies in that area fell flat on their faces.
The zombies behind were squeezed forward, causing a pile up of fallen bodies. Wu Heng took a lighter out of his pocket, lit a piece of broken cloth, and tossed it into the area formed by [Grease Skill],
The moment the open flame came into contact with the grease, whoosh, flames shot up over half a person high, covering the courtyard area.
The struggling zombies were swallowed by the flames.
Wu Heng backed up a few steps, avoiding the burning sensation brought on by the fire.
He was amazed at the effect of this new skill.
According to the skill description, [Grease Skill] can create a ‘difficult terrain’. This refers to the effect of the grease. Unless the terrain is especially rugged, it can cause slipping.
Similarly, it also has a combustible feature.
He only tried it out of curiosity, without expecting the fire to be this fierce.

[Gain experience +6.]
[Gain experience…]
Damn, it can be used to farm kills…
Even so, some zombies still rushed out of the sea of fire like charred bodies, lunging this way.
They were on fire, giving off somewhat unspeakable horror.
The spear-wielding skeletons defending the entrance began to thrust their spears, piercing and killing all approaching targets.
“You guys hold the fort here, Basen, take a few skeletons with me upstairs.” After confirming that there won’t be any danger in the short term, Wu Heng said towards the side.
Several soul-holding skeletons nodded their skulls. Basen also took a few skeletons with him and began to inspect each room with Wu Heng.
He wasn’t sure whether there were any bullets here, but there should be some, right?
He opened each room one by one, and finally found a locked safe in a room that looked like an armory.
After praying to the gods of both worlds in his heart.
He took out a bronze key and opened the safe.
The safe door was opened. After removing the key, delight surfaced on Wu Heng’s face.
“So many!”
Boxes of bullets were neatly arranged inside the safe.
