The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 93: Chapter 92, Train Station l

Early the next morning.

Li Yahong sought out Wu Heng once more, and went over the details of the previous night’s trade.

Three bags of rice for a submachine gun, Wu Heng thought, was an acceptable deal.

But it struck him as odd that the other party agreed to the trade terms so readily.

Although guns were not that effective against zombies, they were a publicly recognized refuge for survivors. Despite the arduous journey, there should be many people going there.

Guns are the most effective weapons for maintaining order and power, so why would they agree so easily to trade them away?

It felt a bit strange.

But at this moment, food was indeed a necessity, even more important than guns.

“Let’s see if we can find a truck that can transport food and skeletons. We can modify it a bit, then we can head over there to trade for guns,” Wu Heng suggested.

“Oh, okay!”

With the business about gun trading handled, Li Yahong continued, “Last night, we received a distress signal. There are some survivors at the old train station. They discovered a mutated zombie there and called for support via radio.”

Old train station?

Indeed, there was an old train station nearby, which had been refurbished a few years ago.

But people still called it the old train station.

“What level is the Mutated Zombie?” Wu Heng asked.

“I’m not sure. The message was cut short and we’ve lost contact with them. They may have already perished,” Li Yahong explained.

“Okay, let’s prepare and head to the train station.”

They didn’t have any specific plans for the day, so it seemed like a good idea to go there and collect some Corpse Cores.

“Alright!”

After making some simple preparations.

Wu Heng led the team of skeletons out of the community, in grand fashion.

They entered the main road from the south side and headed towards the train station.

Normally, it would take about 20 minutes to walk there, or even less if they took a car.

But with the Zombie interference and the skeleton army on the move, their speed had significantly slowed down.

Wu Heng and Li Yahong were walking, but ‘Big Head Skeleton¹ was slow, so the ‘Big Guy’ skeleton carried it on his shoulder.

The sight of two skeletons combined into one, like a giant with two heads, was quite a spectacle.

Along the way, the marching skeletons made quite a noise.

Zombies kept sprouting from the shops along the roadside, gnashing their teeth and clawing toward the skeleton team.

To avoid further casualties, they had to stop and fend off the zombies’ attacks.

After about an hour.

“The train station is right up ahead,” Li Yahong pointed out, seeing the distant buildings.

From afar, one could make out the words “ticket office” and “waiting room”.

Zombies were seen roaming around.

Standing still, Wu Heng told ‘Big Head Skeleton¹, “Have the spear-wielding skeletons advance.”

Rattle-rattle-!

The spear-wielding skeletons thrust their spears forward and began to slowly advance.

The zombies inside the train station all looked at the skeletons and roared madly, charging at them.

Thud-thud-thud-!

A large group of zombies rushed headlong into the spear formation.

The first batch of zombies was directly skewered by the layers of spears, becoming a sieve. The zombies behind them fell one after another amid the onslaught of spears.

The sound of spears piercing bodies was non-stop.

“Have the Kitchen Knife Skeletons go up and kill all that remain,” Wu Heng continued.

The Kitchen Knife Skeletons quickly circled around the Spear Soldiers, surrounding the zombie horde in the middle.

It turned into a scene of skeletons attacking zombies.

The sound of chopping and howling reverberated throughout the area. Zombies fell in patches.

Li Yahong watched the scene unfold in front of her, wide-eyed.

These skeletons were completely different from before.

Wu Heng could command them standing in one place, and the skeletons completed the battle more efficiently. This was completely different from the last time when each skeleton had to be positioned and corrected one by one during combat.

It was as if the skeletons had become a true army, working in perfect harmony.

Soon after, the zombies outside the building were completely cleared.

There were bodies scattered all over the stone-paved floor. The blood pooled and flowed towards the drain.

“Let’s go!” said Wu Heng.

“Okay, got it!” Li Yahong carefully avoided the bodies and followed behind Wu Heng.

The battle had ended quicker than their journey here.

Upon reaching the entrance of the waiting room.

The first floor was deserted, the sounds of the recent fight had attracted the zombies inside there.

“Did those people mention where the mutated zombies might be?” Asked Wu Heng.

The station was not small, and if the zombies were nearby, they should’ve been attracted to come out.

“No.”

Wu Heng glanced around and with a shift of his thoughts, he released Xiao Xiao.

“What’s up, uncle?” Xiao Xiao floated midair and asked.

“Float around nearby and check if there are any survivors or mutated zombies.” Wu Heng simply replied.

“Okay!” Xiao Xiao agreed and floated away.

Dada-da~!

At that moment, a horde of zombies ‘rumble tumble’ rolled down the stairs from the second floor, launching an attack this way.

“Spear soldier, go ahead.” Wu Heng commanded.

Whoosh!

The spear soldier thrust the spear forward, meeting the charging zombies.

Just as the zombies coming from the second floor were almost killed, Xiao Xiao flew back.

He pointed towards the direction upstairs and said, “Uncle, there are survivors and two big dogs over there.”

Big dogs?

Level one mutated dogs.

“How many survivors?”

Xiao Xiao counted his fingers, then opened one hand, “Five.”

“Good, take the skeleton dogs and kill those two bad dogs upstairs. Make sure the dogs do not escape and the mutated dogs do not kill the survivors.” Wu Heng said.

“Understood.” Xiao Xiao beckoned, “Teddy, Little Grey, come with me.”

After saying this, he took the lead and flew upwards.

The skeleton dog and skeleton cat also broke out from the skeleton troops and rushed upstairs.

In the administrative office area, inside the passenger’s rest area.

Two men and three women were holding iron rods and wooden chairs, their faces filled with terror as they stared at the two mutated hunting dogs in front of them.

They were large, with dark fur, and their bodies were draped with police dog vests that had been torn open.

“Black Tiger, I’ve fed you before, you can’t repay kindness with enmity.” One of the young men said to one of the mutated dogs.

But the mutated dog, with its cold eyes, was still glaring at him.

Its mouth corner secreting a sticky, dark red saliva.

“What should we do? Should we jump out of the window, we might still survive.” The other man said in a low voice.

“This is the third floor, jumping down and breaking a leg, we still die.” The man in front answered while keeping his eyes on the mutated dogs.

This was the third floor of the station.

The first floor hall was already three to four times the height, so this was equivalent to about five floors.

Unless one could fly, jumping would certainly result in death.

“Then let’s fight with these dogs. The radio said that ‘Leukoencephalopathy’ could enhance human physique, maybe we can survive.” The short-haired woman suggested.

“Right, let’s fight them.”

Everyone agreed in unison.

The sudden burst of energy made the mutated dogs back off a few steps.

Then, their attention turned back to them, stepping forward again.

The survivors changed colors and pointed their weapons towards the mutated dogs.

The next second.

The mutated dogs attacked.

Their mouths full of blood and a rancid smell, one of them grabbed a man’s wooden stick.

In a frenzy, the stick slipped out of hand and was thrown aside.

The look in the eyes of the mutated dogs became more fierce.

With a push off the ground, the two mutated dogs charged at them again.

Crack-crack-!

Suddenly, the sound of skeletons colliding echoed from behind.

Coupled with this was the youthful voice yelling out.

“Charge, kill these two bad dogs.”

Rustle!

A number of skeletal animals rushed over.

The mutated dogs turned and ran.

And the survivors inside the room had their mouths wide open.

Looking at the hollering ghost floating in the air and the skeletons chasing the zombie dogs..
