The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Chapter 66, Hospital Survivor_l
Seeing a novice Mage could only control twenty skeletons, Wu Heng was somewhat taken aback.
“Who the hell wrote this, it can’t be a pirated book, can it!”
On his first day of clearing the hallway, he ended up with almost twenty.
There’s no way it could be so few.
Moreover, the book also mentioned that necromancy can only transform corpses up to three levels beyond oneself. Any more, and the corpse could collapse or lose its mental connection and go out of control after the transformation.
But none of these problems had occurred with Wu Heng.
He’s currently at level four, and his highest, Bawudong, is a twelve-level skeleton.
The information in the book clearly didn’t match his experience.
Wu Heng frowned, feeling something was not quite right.
Either the book was wrong, or he was incredibly gifted, a natural-born necromancy genius.
But his academic performance had been not that good since he was a child, so the possibility of him being a genius seemed slim.
As Wu Heng planned to continue reading onwards,
Xiao Xiao floated over from the sky, pointed to the north, and said, “Uncle, the aunt who makes iron spears is coming over.”
Li Yahong?
He did ask them to speed up the production of iron spears, but they didn’t have to deliver them every day, did they?
The zombies around had been cleared, but who could say that zombies from afar might not slip in?
If they get infected, there would be no one to teach the skeletons how to use these tools.
“Where is she?”
Before Xiao Xiao could answer, Li Yahong’s voice came through the walkie- talkie, “Are you there? I’ve brought over the iron spears I made yesterday.”
“Okay, I’m coming out now.”
Wu Heng walked out the north gate and saw Li Yahong and the long iron spears on the tricycle.
“There are a total of 35.” Li Yahong said.
“Well, I’m fairly satisfied with this efficiency.” Wu Heng waved his hand, and several skeletons walked out, carrying the iron spears and moving towards the back.
Li Yahong did not leave, and asked again: “Do you still need information on the mutated zombies?”
Wu Heng turned to her and asked, “What information do you have?”
He had mentioned the matter of the mutated zombies to Li Yahong two days ago, could there already be news so soon?
He was quite curious about her source of information.
Li Yahong nodded, “Survivors in a certain area communicate some news in a fixed frequency. Last night, a survivor said there were mutated zombies.”
“In our vicinity?”
“Yes, he said that a few of them were trapped in the second hospital’s pharmacy, and there were mutated zombies outside. They were hoping that someone would come and rescue them. I didn’t respond, I just noted it down.” As Li Yahong spoke, she was careful to observe the expression on Wu Heng’s face.
“Hospital?”
The second hospital was the only large hospital in the area.
Its medical standards were just average, and for serious illnesses, one had to go to the city. This place could only handle minor ailments.
That kind of place could produce some mutated zombies, it seems plausible.
Wu Heng thought for a while; it might be a good idea to check it out.
He could also take the opportunity to level up his status; he was about to reach level five.
He said directly: “Don’t leave yet, we will go together in a moment.”
“Ahhh! Huh? I, I… I don’t have to go, do I? I might just slow you down.” Li Yahong trembled in fear, her face filled with horror.
She wished she could slap herself and shut up.
What was she saying? Wasn’t that just throwing herself into this mess?
“It’s okay, you just come in, we’ll go together later.” Wu Heng continued.
Jianyi and Jian’er had already come over, pushing the cart Li Yahong was on, and entering the community.
Li Yahong had no choice but to follow quickly, carefully avoiding some skeletons.
The skeleton troops went out from the east gate and entered the main road.
There were many cars crashed together, the whole road was like a car scrapyard, full of horrifying car wrecks.
The skeleton troops marched on.
Wu Heng asked Li Yahong about the cause of the zombie outbreak.
She did not know much about it, only that the zombies suddenly broke out, as if randomly chosen. One second a normal person, the next second a turned into a zombie.
She had been lucky – there was no business in the auto repair shop at the time, she survived.
Li Yahong and the others from the auto repair shop survived by grouping together,
Only two kilometers away from the hospital on the main road, it was even closer than the building materials street.
The skeleton troops did not delay, clearing the zombies that rushed out along the way while moving forward.
There were far fewer zombies on the main road than inside the community.
And they were scattered, not hard to deal with.
When they could see the sign of the hospital, the skeleton troops stopped and began to rest on the spot.
From a distance, they could see a large number of zombies gathering in the open space in front of the hospital building.
Different from the disordered zombies,
They seemed to be wandering in fixed positions, among them were two mutated dogs also pacing around the yard.
The mutated dogs and the zombies did not burst into conflict.
“Coexisting peacefully?” Wu Heng was slightly surprised, then looked at Xiao Xiao, “Xiao Xiao, go to the hospital and see.”
“Okay.” Xiao Xiao nodded, slowly fading away, disappearing.
Hospital, warehouse.
A tightly-closed door separates the room and the corridor. The square room was about twenty square meters, full of various medicine boxes and a dirty corner.
It was already hard to breathe in the room, filled with nauseating smells.
Currently, two groups of people were standing in the room.
On one side, one man and two women were wearing slightly dirty white coats, on the other side were two men, one in a black shirt and gold chain, the other in a security uniform.
Each of them was holding a scalpel and a syringe with a needle, staring angrily at each other.
“Don’t go too far, we let you in, saved you from being eaten by zombies, but now you’re repaying kindness with ingratitude.” A female nurse said angrily.
The man with the gold chain flipped the scalpel in his hand and sneered, “What’s the point of saving lives at times like these? When we run out of this glucose, we won’t survive. Rather than that, I say we enjoy ourselves before we die, bring some mutual pleasure.”
As he spoke, his eyes sized up the nurses in front of him.
There were still some food and glucose sufficient enough to keep them alive.
Afterward, the radio didn’t contact anyone, the food was gone, completely insufficient to keep the people in the room alive.
Anyhow, everyone was going to die, might as well let himself enjoy a bit before.
“You bastards won’t die well.” One of the nurses cursed.
“Hahahaha! We’re all going to die.” The man with the gold chain laughed, looking back and saying, “Bro, let’s go together, don’t kill the old man, I want him to watch us.”
The man behind him was a bit hesitant, but eventually nodded.
Who cares anymore in times like these.
“Go!” The man with the gold chain rushed forward with his scalpel.
However, as soon as he moved forward, he abruptly stopped.
He fell backwards, quickly retreating and creating a distance.
A blurry figure appeared from the corner.
“No fighting, uncle is here to save you.”
