The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 25:, Someone Has Been Herel

After eating dinner at the tavern along the way, they went straight back to their lodgings.

After resting for a while, they started practicing spear combat with Basen.

Ever since they got Basen the skeleton, they haven’t used wooden targets for practice.

Combat training is much more effective than practicing on wooden targets.

As the fighting continued.

The system message once again appeared in his ear.

[Specialty Unlocked: Spear Mastery (Beginner)l

Huh?

The sudden message distracted him a bit.

His movements slowed, and Basen’s dagger was aimed at his neck.

He was startled, and dodged to the side frantically.

“Pause!”

After dodging, he immediately shouted.

Basen stopped his movements, quickly sheathed his blade and stood still.

Wu Heng touched his neck, confirming that he was not injured, and then checked his attributes.

[Name: Wu Heng]

[Profession: Necromancer]

[Level: 3 (1109/2700)]

[Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 13, Constitution 15, Intellect 16, Perception 10,

Charm 13.]

[Specialty: Spear Mastery (Beginner)]

[Skills: Bone Manipulation Skill, Acid Splash, Grease Skill]

[Spear Mastery (Beginner): You have reached the beginner’s proficiency level

with the spear weapon.]

As expected, there’s an additional specialty in the attribute panel.

There was no fixed attribute bonus, only shown he has reached a beginner s proficiency level.

It means, he could also unlock other weapons through training.

No, that would just be a dataized hint from the panel, and the proficiency really comes from his own training.

From combat to daily training, it’s been not too short a time.

“Should I practice swordsmanship next?”

Compared to spears, there are more people who wield swords.

This proves the practicality of swords in groups.

Since training can unlock weapon proficiency, it might be worth practicing with a sword.

After checking his attributes, he got up and said, “Let’s practice some more.

The two of them stand in the middle of the living room and continue to practice.

Wu Heng didn’t go to bed until late.

The next day.

In the Zombie World.

Wu Heng led his skeleton squad to continue yesterday’s task.

Arriving at a building that hasn’t been cleared, they opened every door in the hall, leading the Skeleton Warriors in to clean up the zombies.

Then continue to open every room door, further cleaning up zombies in the

rooms.

Repeating the same unchanging battles.

These isolated zombies pose no threat to the current skeleton troop.

Soon, the first building was cleared, followed by the next building full of zombies.

Using their numerical advantage to win the battle.

Just when he was about to turn the corner after clearing the zombies in the third building,

Basen, acting as a scout, ran back from the distance.

He made a stop signal.

Wu Heng immediately ordered, “Standby.”

Swish!!

The advancing skeleton army instantly halted and stiffly went into standby

mode.

Basen squeezed through the crowd, came to Wu Heng’s side and pointed at the direction blocked by the building.

“Is there danger?”

Basen nodded his skull lightly.

“Take me to see.”

Basen nodded again, led Wu Heng out of the skeleton troop, and poked their heads around the corner to look ahead.

In front of them was a small square within the housing complex, a cement floor with a few exercising machines.

Ablue bus rammed through the neighborhood fence, overturning to one side of the square.

About twenty or so zombies were lurking around the square, with many of them wearing matching blue uniforms.

They must be passengers from the bus, workers from some factory.

“The numbers are still manageable.”

More than twenty zombies is quite a number.

But considering the current amount of skeletons and a few soul-enhanced

ones, it shouldn’tbe too hard.

Proper preparation could further mitigate losses.

Just as he was about to call the skeleton army over.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, three dark shadows burst out from a distant staircase.

They trapped a wandering zombie and forcibly ripped off its arm and lower leg. Before the other zombies closed in, they quickly ran off, leading the zombie group around in circles.

“Mutated Zombie Dogs!” Wu Heng’s eyes widened at the sight.

Like Teddy, all three of these creatures were large mutated dogs.

They toyed with their prey, leading the zombies around in circles.

They were dashing around chaotically with their speed advantage, and even occasionally stopping to wait.

This commotion attracted more zombies, and the square started to become crowded.

The advantage of Zombie Dogs lies in their speed.

When Teddy was killed before, he had been trapped in a hallway, which severely restricted his movements.

In open spaces like these, it’s hard to get a hold of them.

Even if you can win, if they turn around and run, it’s hard to catch up.

He patted Basen on the shoulder, “Let’s go back.”

They retreated, leaving with the skeleton army.

He needed to carefully consider how to handle the three zombie dogs, ideally trapping them in the middle; otherwise, they would be hard to deal with. They retreated all the way back to the building where they lived.

While directing the skeletons to relocate corpses, Wu Heng carried out the conversion.

The skeletons rose one by one, and the prepared kitchen knives were handed to the new skeletons by Jianyi and Jian’er.

Dusk fell.

Wu Heng returned to Black Stone Town with a one-handed iron sword.

After unlocking the Spear Proficiency, he planned to start practicing swordsmanship tonight.

He would try to unlock that proficiency as well.

Moreover, while he was practicing the spear, he was doing it blindly. For swordsmanship, he could ask for guidance from the members of the Fourth Squad.

If that doesn’t work, there are always Jianyi and Jian er.

Having Basic Souls, they’re almost like normal humans, the only difference being they can’t talk.

Easy demonstrations or correcting his actions shouldn’t be a problem.

Just as he put his iron sword aside and reached for his backpack on the table with the intention of going out.

His hands paused slightly.

Someone had rummaged through his bag.

Although nothing was missing, the positions of the items inside had changed. Wu Heng immediately started checking the room, and traces of rummaging could be found everywhere, although everything was returned to its original place.

If he didn’t have the habit of always putting items in the same place in his bag, he might not have noticed.

“It wasn’t a thief.”

The silver coins were still in the drawer.

And besides, a thief wouldn’t search through things and then return them to their original places.

Who would be a thief with such manners?

He found no clues in the room. He put on his backpack and left his room alone. Just as he stepped out, he noticed the landlady chatting with a neighbor. “Going out?” the landlady asked.

“Um, did anyone come looking for me today?” Wu Heng asked directly.

“No one came to see you. If someone does come while you’re not here, they can come to me. I’ll pass on their message,” the landlady generously offered.

“Oh, it’s nothing, just asking.”

just as he was about to leave, the landlady suddenly spoke: “Oh, by the way, a fur merchant did come looking for you during the day, I saw him when I went out.”

“Fur?”

“Yes, he said he had a chat with you at the market yesterday. He left when he saw you weren’ t home.”
