The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 136: Chapter 134, The Mice Go Mad_1

Soon, Li Yahong drove up in a military truck.

Wu Heng sat in the truck with a few skeletons, slowly advancing, while the rest of the skeleton army flanked the truck, moving forward with it.

A trip to the commercial street was needed to gather necessary supplies.

Reliance solely on skeletons to carry everything back would be too cumbersome, the best solution was to bring a truck.

The mighty army progressed impressively along the main road, dispatching zombies attracted by the noise with ease.

The last time Wu Heng brought his forces to this commercial street, he didn’t have that many skeletons.

Yet, the commercial street was filled with zombies attracted by the sound equipment.

Now, he had a considerable number of skeletons and could fully engage the zombies.

At least before heading to the prison, he could raid the local jewelry stores and banks.

Otherwise, it would be a waste.

“Have you killed zombies before?” Wu Heng asked.

Li Yahong held the steering wheel, eyes forward, “Yes, the first one I killed was my father. He turned into a zombie, bit a customer who came to fix his car, and when he planned to attack me, I killed him with a wrench.”

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became somber.

Wu Heng didn’t say much more.

All the survivors of the zombie outbreak had lost loved ones.

Having accepted this, there was no further cause for grief.

“Aside from that, have you killed any more?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

Li Yahong nodded, “Yes, when we went out to search for supplies, we killed a few zombies, but not as many as you have.”

“Hmm, when we get to the prison, keep some guard up. Being too easy-going is not good, especially in our current situation.” Wu Heng continued.

“Okay, I’ll be careful.” Li Yahong then asked, “What resources are we mainly scouring for on the commercial street?”

“Anything we see, clothes, shoes, whatever, we’ll take them all!”

The car continued to move forward slowly.

Li Yahong lowered her head, pointed at a red sign up ahead and said, “This place used to sell amazing spicy hot pot. Whenever I had free time, I’d come here to eat. Later, I heard it was closed down because they put something addictive in their food.”

Several streets near the commercial area were filled with restaurants.

It had formed a small gathering place.

Through the car window, the two looked at the ruined restaurants.

Suddenly, a flash of a dark figure passed by the restaurant’s door.

“I think a black cat just ran by.” Li Yahong said.

Wu Heng shook his head, “It didn’t look like a black cat.”

His senses had been amplified; his vision and perception were higher than ordinary people.

In the instant that figure darted by, he caught a few features.

It looked like a mouse, but about the size of a stray cat.

Hiss~ Squeak squeak!

Suddenly, shrilling screams came from the direction of the restaurant.

A thick, dark mass emerged from the restaurants like dirty, flood water.

Several zombies standing in its path gave out roars only to be swallowed up by the dark mass instantly. They simply vanished.

The swarm of mice, each the size of a wild cat, was dense.

Li Yahong shuddered all over, and every hair on her hands stood on end.

Wu Heng also widened his eyes, looking at the scene before him in surprise.

Last time, when he was scouting the area around the commercial street, a few stray cat-sized rats attacked him, but there were only a few.

The skeletons had easily killed them.

But now, the number had grown exponentially.

Either they had multiplied, or more regular rats had mutated.

These mice were not zombies, their glossy fur still indicated they were living creatures.

People were starving yet these creatures remained robust.

“Prepare for battle.” Wu Heng told the ‘Big Head Skeleton’ sitting in the back.

Clank! Clank!

The skeleton warriors protecting the sides of the truck halted their advance and turned towards the swarm of mice.

They raised their kitchen knives, the sound of bones rubbing against each other echoed in the air.

“Stay in the truck, don’t get out.”

After Wu Heng said this, he descended from the truck with a few skeletons.

Quickly squeezing to the front, he watched the incoming swarm of mice, releasing the [Grease Skill].

The grease instantly spread across the tar road, the swarm of mice slipped in droves to the ground.

Seeing that it’s about enough, Wu Heng continued with another [Fireball Technique] smashing into the crowd of mice.

Boom~!

The scorching fireball burst open from the center of the mice swarm, shooting flames scattered around, igniting the grease on the ground.

Whoosh, flames a few meters high suddenly rose.

The fire engulfed a patch of the mice swarm ahead.

Squeak, Squeak, Squeak~!

The mice’s cries rang out, sharp and piercing.

Huge swaths of mice were swallowed by flames, but an even larger mice swarm behind split into two streams, sidestepping the flames and circulating from both sides of the fire.

They continued to charge towards the groups of skeletons.

“Damn, what the hell!” Wu Heng cursed.

With so many skeletons on his side, the mice, given their nature, shouldn’t just be frantically attacking them.

Watching the mice swarm getting closer and closer, their momentum fierce.

All Wu Heng could do was to give an order – “Attack!”

Crash~!

A large wave of skeletons charged, holding cleavers, they faced the oncoming mice swarm head-on.

The white and black wave clashed together.

A fierce battle commenced.

Crack~ Splat, Throb, Throb, Throb~!

The sound of the bone being bitten and crushed, and meat being chopped.

Instantly filled the entire space.

“Xiao Xiao, go check and see what’s happening over there, what is wrong with these mice,” Wu Heng sent out Xiao Xiao.

“Uncle, I’m a little scared, the mice are too disgusting,” Xiao Xiao flew out and hid behind Wu Heng, looking very cautious.

“Cough~! Well, these are just regular mice, we’re adults now, we can’t be scared of these things anymore.”

Not scared of zombies, but scared of mice.

This is kind of strange.

“But, I’m scared too!”

“Fly higher, keep your distance from them, then go in and take a look, confirm whether there are any other monsters and then come out,” Wu Heng continued to coax.

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a second, but eventually nodded in agreement, “Okay then!”

The aqua semi-transparent body immediately shot up high, flew towards the opposite restaurant area, and dived into the shop.

On the front, the skeletons and the mice swarm had already tangled together.

It was pure chaos.

Skeletons can’t feel pain. They don’t have the weaknesses of living creatures.

But when facing the mice swarm, they seemed at a disadvantage.

The mice crawled close to the ground and moved exceptionally fast.

The skeletons had to squat down to hack these mice, making their movements particularly awkward.

Wu Heng, standing near the truck, could even see the mice climbing up the skeletons’ bones and directly entering the rib cages, randomly gnawing at the rib bones.

From the looks of it, the skeleton swarm seems to be overwhelming the mice swarm, but the death rate of the skeletons on the battlefield is higher than that of the mice.

Soon, Xiao Xiao flew back from the opposite side.

She said, “It’s all mice. They have nested in there.”

“Come back, let me see!”

Xiao Xiao flew back into the body, Wu Heng saw the scene inside the restaurant, still, it was a huge swarm of mice.

And even more mice were climbing out of places like sewage outlets, continuing to join the mouse swarm, charging towards them.

“Damn, just my luck.” Wu Heng cursed.

Going out, encountering a crazed mice swarm.

Bang, Bang, Bang~!

At this time, Li Yahong was sitting in the truck, knocking on the car door vigorously, “Look ahead, look ahead, the zombie swarm is coming.”

Wu Heng looked straight ahead, a large number of zombies poured out from the commercial street.

As black as the sea, they entered the main road, then rushed toward them.

Damn!
