The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 18:, Human Bomb _1

What's going on?

Wu Heng's face changes drastically, a sense of danger rising from his heart.

Before he can react, Skeleton Basson beside him has already made a move.

The dagger in his hand flips and stabs towards his left shoulder.

The moment the short blade pierces his shoulder, Wu Heng feels a lightness in his shoulder, as if something has disappeared.

He turns his head instantly and sees a transparent light shadow moving away in the distance.

When it reaches mid-air, the light shadow condenses again, morphing into an ugly infant shape with a long umbilical cord.

Damn!

An infant ghost?

"What happened?" Wu Heng quickly approaches the team and asks in a low voice.

"I don't know. When we were reading the notes, it was on your shoulder as well, seemingly reading the notes too," Cavina answers.

The few of them were not looking behind them, but at their shoulders.

Skeleton Basson's action is even more direct, he attacks directly when he finds the right moment.

Whoosh whoosh!!

Several crossbow arrows are shot out while the two converse.

The arrows pass through the ghost's body, leaving no trace.

And the infant-like ghost, as if scared, opens its mouth wide, making crying gestures.

Even though there's no sound, the movement suggests a crying fit.

Just at this moment.

Everyone feels something's not quite right, rapid and dense footstep sounds are coming from the direction of the cave.

Like a dam-breaking rolling gravel, the sounds are dense and disordered.

Just as if they're back in another world, facing zombies surging up the staircase.

Step step step!

Countless shadowy figures pour out from the many cave openings.

They come from all directions and rush directly towards them.

...

All the people's faces change.

The frenzied villagers are being controlled by this Ghost Infant.

Now that it has been frightened, all the villagers in the cave have rushed out.

No wonder there was nobody in the village, they were all hiding in the mine.

"Don't panic, step back and look for an escape route," the leader says in a deep voice.

A soldier rushes into a house quickly, running upstairs.

Whoosh whoosh!

The bolts pierce the night, making a clear arrow sound.

The targets stagger and fall, knocking over a large group of people behind them.

At this moment, the voice of the soldier is heard from the house, "Head north."

"Grenades!" Pulamon orders.

Several hand grenades are arched into the crowd.

Boom boom...!

In the midst of the deafening explosions, red flames rise up.

"Retreat!"

The team quickly turns and heads north. The scrape of swords and armor sounds as they move.

Step step step!

They run at full speed with a dense, insane crowd following them.

Suddenly, chaotic footsteps come from the side.

A swarm of villagers rush out from the alleyway to the side, charging directly at the retreating squad.

The leader's face turns grim, and his two-handed sword quickly slashes horizontally. Instantly, five or six heads fly off.

The others also draw their weapons and begin to fight viciously with the crazed crowd.

Wu Heng grips his spear, standing alongside the Skeleton Thief. He keeps waving his spear, fending off the attacking enemies.

Autruck and Cavina, while fighting, are observing the situation.

Seeing a mage who has just advanced to use melee combat so calmly, their eyes show some surprise and curiosity.

Not at all like a newcomer.

For Wu Heng.

The situation in front of him has been seen many times in the Zombie World, and the scenes there are much worse than here.

The battle slows their retreat.

Even more people are surging forward from the back. Under the shadow of the fire, there are dense figures.

"Get into the alley!" The leader continues to order.

Everyone retreats into the alleyway. The narrow entrance eases the disadvantage in number.

But the situation quickly changes again. The frenzied crowd starts climbing the walls, leaping towards them from the rooftops.

"Find a breakout route." The leader continues to order.

A soldier tries again to climb onto the roof to find a route.

However, as soon as he climbs up, he sees a miner running straight towards him.

He's holding a bundle of lit fuse in his arms.

The kind of fuse used for blasting mountains.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sounds.

The soldier is blown away instantly and doesn't get up again.

Meanwhile, more miners climbed onto the rooftops and leaped towards the crowd below.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Ear-splitting explosions kept ringing through the alley.

Broken stones splashed around like bullets.

When the thick smoke cleared, two more guards lay dead in pools of blood, swallowed up by the surging crowd.

The rest of the people were also affected to varying degrees by the blast.

More people carrying explosives appeared on the rooftops, throwing themselves down like human bombs...

"Let's go," said the leader as he kicked open a side door.

The group entered the room but leaped out of a window on the opposite side to escape into the distance.

Crowds kept emerging from the alley, relentlessly chasing after them, with the sound of explosions ringing out incessantly.

Roaring!!

More shadowy figures leapt down, and explosions followed.

People were spread out by the explosions, unable to see their teammates through the thick smoke.

"Split up and evacuate."

They vaguely heard commands to retreat separately.

Wu Heng led Skeleton Basson in a swift departure in one direction.

...

The night sky was dazed.

The escaped Wu Heng and Skeleton Basson halted their steps.

No enemies followed from behind, but in the distance, fierce flames and deafening explosions were still ablaze.

It seemed that they were not being pursued.

Just as Wu Heng was contemplating the next step.

Thud thud thud!

Footsteps echoed from the front as a group of figures cloaked in black capes emerged from behind the mine at the edge of the village.

One of them was cradling something tightly wrapped up in his arms.

Wu Heng assumed it was the crazed crowd, holding a spear and pistol in his hands.

The figures opposite were also startled.

Looking at the battlefield in the distance, they were also surprised that Wu Heng could escape and stand in their way here.

"Kill him, make it quick." The man with the bundle ordered coldly and then led the way out of the village.

The guards heard the command, raised their crossbows, and pulled the trigger.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

Crossbow arrows flew out, piercing the night sky.

Wu Heng felt a shock in his heart and quickly side-stepped to hide behind the skeleton warrior.

Thud, thud, thud!!

The crossbow arrows pierced through the armor on the skeleton and emerged from the other side.

Wu Heng glanced at the arrows protruding from the skeleton's body and raised his pistol to return fire at the opponents.

Bang, bang, bang!!

The gunshot echoed in the air, and immediately one person screamed in pain.

But it was clear that no vital areas had been hit.

After firing three shots, Wu Heng pulled the skeleton warrior and plunged directly into a nearby house.

He cursed under his breath.

This was indeed a trap.

"Charge, kill him."

The command to attack echoed again outside; the remaining few drew their weapons and quickly approached the wooden house.

They also continuously changed position, likely afraid of being hit by bullets.

Wu Heng leaned against the wall next to the door, guessing the identities of these people.

They seemed more familiar with the environment, and it seemed they had taken something from the mine.

Footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.

The nearby Skeleton Basson tightened its dual-blades, ready to rush out and draw their attention.

But Wu Heng shook his head, there was no need to fight them while at a disadvantage.

Then he pulled out a 'Poison Fog Thunder' from his backpack, confirmed its position, and threw it out directly.

Rumble, rumble!!

The Poison Fog Thunder rolled to the feet of the people outside the door.

Next second, with a boom, a heavy cloud of smoke exploded instantly.

It filled all surrounding areas with a pungent smell.

"Get in there, don't let them run away in the confusion, or we'll all die." Outside, a voice was urging again.

However, before they could continue their attack.

Crash, crash!!

The sound of bones rubbing against each other came from the front.

The very next second, a huge skeleton dog rushed into the smoke, knocked down a person, bit into the neck and started shaking vigorously.

Everyone was taken aback.

Undead skeletons?

Where did these undead come from?

Nevertheless, more frequent footstep echo

A skeleton rushed into the smoke one after another, waving a chopper in hand, rushing toward the enemies.

The sound of fighting and painful cries arose from the poison fog.
