The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 166: Chapter 154, it can’t be the Auto Repair Shop, could it?_1

Li Yahong got back in the car and picked up the walkie-talkie, saying, “This is the auto repair shop, Changying Area convoy, can you hear me?”

After speaking, she waited.

But the chatter inside was still filled with hurry and a few commands being issued, with no response to her message.

It seemed to be a frequency issue.

The other party was using fixed short frequency, while her own was military equipment. She could receive their content, but they couldn’t hear her.

“Can you hear me? Changying Area convoy, you can proceed as normal, we will clear a way for you,” Li Yahong continued.

But there was still no response from the other party.

Then, the rapidly approaching convoy suddenly began to slow down.

The vehicles swerved dangerously, nearly causing an accident.

But the horde of zombies trailing closely behind forced them to keep moving forward, daring not stop…

…

In the convoy.

The people in the leading vehicle looked in terror at the large army appearing in the distance.

They were wearing antiquated armor and holding spears.

They neatly lined up in the middle of the road.

Like an army from ancient times, appearing in the modern world.

What caused the terror was the skull-like faces exposed, and the endless skeleton army behind them.

It’s as if the ghost army was demanding passage.

And at this time, it blocked their way!

If it hadn’t been for the long-lasting apocalypse, seeing this scene would have scared them to death.

“Big Brother, what do we do?” the driver anxiously asked.

The convoy was moving at a high speed. If they kept this up, they would likely crash straight into the skeletons.

The man in the passenger seat also had a troubled expression.

He didn’t expect to encounter such a problem at this time either.

Ahead were skeletons, and behind them were zombies. It was impossible to seek refuge in the narrow lanes.

If the convoy tried to go in, the congested road wouldn’t even provide a chance for forward momentum.

“Find a building and park, we’ll hide inside!” the man suggested.

He took a deep breath, picked up the radio, and continued, “Danger ahead, road blocked, prepare to stop and park. Combat team, disembark to clear zombies, cover the others to enter the building.”

The convoy began to slow down as a whole.

The vehicle doors opened, and men with basic protective gear, wielding weapons, rushed out.

They chopped down the zombies that leap at them.

The others in the vehicles grabbed essential supplies under their protection and rushed into a building’s passage.

With a bang, they shut the green iron door.

…

On the other side.

Wu Heng and Li Yahong watched as the convoy parked and rushed into the passage of a building.

And the path that they had opened up with their skeleton troops was completely useless.

For those survivors.

Facing the horde of zombies, hiding in the passage of a building…

It was nothing more than delaying the inevitable.

Neither the building door nor the second-level mutated zombies can block the horde.

But it was also understandable.

Facing the skeleton army, every surviving person would be terrified.

The people at the auto repair shop have gradually accepted the skeletons.

Yet, when they talk to the skeletons, their mode of expression is pretty peculiar.

For example, nicknames like Big Head Brother and Spear Brother…

They can express names, but they also add terms of respect.

“Let’s not worry about them for now.”

Li Yahong also put down her walkie-talkie, her gaze falling back to the front.

Swarm of zombies, from afar, began to surge toward them.

The number definitely exceeded any previous battle.

Wu Heng’s eyes quickly scanned the swarm.

This number, it seemed as if the entire area’s zombies had been gathered together.

With this number of zombies, even if it were other local refugees, they’d struggle to defend against them.

“The number is, um, a bit high!” Li Yahong’s face was paler than when she was shocked, the hand gripping the car door beginning to tremble.

Wu Heng didn’t speak, his gaze remaining on the distance.

Calculating the charging distance of the zombies, “Get ready to throw spears!”

The skeletons pulled out their steel rods, ready to throw them upward.

Seeing their target quickly approaching.

Wu Heng continued to command, “Launch!”

Whoosh~!

Steel rods with their shrill whistling sound, like a net of iron, landing among the charging zombie crowd.

A large number of zombies were knocked to the ground.

Zombies charging from behind tripped over the fallen ones, the horde rolling together like a rolling snowball.

Zombies, mangled from the fall, quickly got up.

Charging forward quickly.

Bringing with them a foul, stale smell.

“Spear Array!”

Spear Soldiers quickly stepped forward, crouching down, spears pointed forward.

One by one, the zombies crashed into them, their bodies impaled, instantly dead.

But the number of zombies behind was too many, their bodies were skewered like kebabs, one coming after the other, pushing to the front.

The bodies of the dead zombies and the skeleton spear holders stuck close together.

The skeletons kept thrusting their spears.

Making continuous attacking movements.

Killing their targets.

…

Wu Heng, his body leaning out with one hand on the car door, searching for targets within the zombie horde.

He quickly scanned.

In the horde, there were several types of second-level mutated zombies visible.

Including Tank, similar to Big Guy, wall-crawling Gecko, and some quickly charging Mutated Dogs.

Zombies were indeed evolving towards a higher form of intelligence.

Gathered together, they formed a terrifying force.

His gaze swept back and forth several times but couldn’t spot the shadow of the ‘Big Head Zombie’.

But given the current situation, it was impossible there would not be any Big Head Zombies.

It could be because it was short, and it was hiding amidst the horde.

An idea came to him.

Ghoul Xiao Xiao flew out of his body.

Her phantom arm was supported under her chin, half-leaning as she asked, “Uncle, what’s up?”

Wu Heng said, “This time, there’s a significant task that I have to entrust you with.”

“Speak!”

“See that horde over there?”

“Ah!”

“Within that horde, there’s a zombie with an unusually large head and a short body. Find it.” Wu Heng stretched out his hand, gesturing the approximate size of the head.

“Are you referring to something like Big Head Skeleton?” Xiao Xiao glanced at Big Head Skeleton seated in the back row.

“Exactly!”

Forgot we have a live example right here.

“Alright. I’m the best when it comes to finding these guys.”

After uttering these words, Xiao Xiao made a circulatory path in the air and drifted towards the horde of zombies, simultaneously fading and disappearing from sight.

…

Upfront.

The zombie horde continued to rage like a stormy sea.

Wave after wave of zombies surged towards the skeleton.

Large amounts of both zombies and skeletons were falling.

“Zombies are coming from over there too.” Li Yahong pointed in the distance.

Wu Heng saw on the narrow side roads, more zombies were spilling out, planning to launch an attack on the skeleton’s flank.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that there were certainly Big Head Zombies within the horde.

Overly simplistic zombies alone wouldn’t have been able to mobilize such formation changes.

“Divide a couple of Kitchen Knife Skeletons and use them to block the zombies from both sides.” Wu Heng continued to give out orders.

Over a thousand Kitchen Knife Skeletons from each side emerged and directly clashed with the zombies pouring out on the side streets.

Like two anthills charging at each other, they immediately clashed in a fierce battle.

Huge waves of fallen rolling zombies.

Whoosh~Boom!

Several bicycles were flung over by Level 2 Mutated Zombies.

The bikes crashed into the skeleton crowd and instantly scattered the skeletons into fragments.

Big Guy and Second Chunk were doing the same, swinging bicycles, trash cans and other objects from the side of the road towards the opposing group.

Taking down heaps of zombies.

Both sides plunged into a war of attrition.

It’s a matter of whose population will be the first to go extinct.

…

Meanwhile.

The people in the Changying Area Shelter closed their doors, killed the zombies within, and quickly moved up to the top floor.

Looking at the iron door locked by a padlock.

Someone immediately took out a crowbar hanging on his bag.

Insert it into the ring and force it open.

With a crack sound.

The old lock broke off, and the iron door was immediately pushed open.

Everyone quickly rose to the roof.

The more distinct roars of zombies and sounds like chopping vegetables from down below could be heard.

There was no time to look at the situation down there, the leader of the men quickly gave out commands.

“Xiaolong checks out what the zombies are doing, the rest follow me to build a rope ladder, ready to move to another building.”

The crowd dispersed, and following orders, began their tasks.

A team of people began to toss ropes towards the fence of the next building, intending to construct a traversable rope ladder.

It was a little risky, but they had no other option.

The person referred to as Xiaolong, laid down at the edge.

And looked below.

Just one glance, and he furrowed his brow.

Confirmed several more times, and shouted in a low voice, “Big Brother, Big Brother…”

“Speak if there’s something to say, stop shouting!”

“Look down, the zombies aren’t chasing us, we don’t have to hurry.”

The actions of others paused.

They immediately came by the edge as well, lowering their bodies and looking down.

The entire road was densely filled with bodies.

On one side, there were hideously roaring zombies, and on the other side, there were empty white skeletons with weapons.

The two armies were clashing in the middle.

Blood and shattered bones splattered everywhere.

The corpses beneath their feet had accumulated into a small mountain.

“They are fighting each other, no one is paying us any attention.” Someone said.

“Yeah, I was wondering why no zombies were smashing the door, turns out they’re not on the same side as the skeletons.”

“Phew! We don’t need to rush. They will probably be fighting for a while.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Let’s take a rest. Once we’ve rested, we leave from behind while they’re still fighting.”

“Alright!” The group quickly gathered in a circle and took a break, consuming some food in the process.

Some others were sobbing quietly for their fallen comrades.

This is the world as it stands. Every day, people die while scavenging for supplies.

But the ones left behind must continue to survive.

“Big Brother, look, that car in the center of the skeletons doesn’t look scrapped, I think I saw someone getting out of it.” Xiaolong shouted again.

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes towards the direction.

There truly was a refurbished truck in the center.

The entire road was filled with scrapped cars. Initially, they didn’t pay any attention to it.

After carefully looking.

Indeed, they saw a woman in a stab-proof vest climbing onto the truck and lifting some plastic barrels.

“There are people.”

“Could it be someone from the auto repair shop? The person who contacted us was also a woman.”

The others widened their eyes in disbelief at the scene unfolding in front of them.

The auto repair shop is this powerful?

They can control skeletons and even directly confront horde of zombies?

…

“Gasoline cans!” Wu Heng said.

“I’ll get them!” Li Yahong jumped off the truck, crouched into the back and grabbed the gasoline cans. She glanced at the woman hiding in the corner, curling into a ball and covering her head.

Wu Heng called over Big Guy and Second Chunk.

He had them throw the gasoline cans towards the horde of zombies.

Bam, bam, bam~!

Plastic cans shattered.

A strong smell of gasoline immediately spread out.

Combined with the stench of zombies, it created a nauseating smell.

Wu Heng watched the position in the sky and immediately cast the Fireball Technique.

The fireball transformed into a flurry of flames, crashing into the horde of zombies. It ignited upon touching the gasoline, sparking a huge blaze.

The center of the horde was covered by fire, creating a vacuum isolation zone.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao flew back from afar.

Surprised, she said, “Uncle, I’ve found it. The big-headed one you were talking about is hiding in a car over there. It’s not outside.”
