Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1093, Get the Radio

At Wu Heng's command, the skeletons slashed and attacked even more frantically.

Swords and axes split the rotten flesh, bone spears pierced the torso, and the sound of shattering and roaring intertwined into one.

However, the more intense the battle became, the more zombies gathered, pouring out from alleys and ruins in all directions, gathering together in a black mass.

Above their heads, large groups of zombies swarmed down like dumplings, roaring and leaping, smashing heavily into the formation of the skeleton team!

The rear of the team fell into chaos in an instant.

Several skeletons were knocked down and started to wrestle with each other.

Wu Heng's face was solemn.

"Retreat to the house behind!"

The skeleton team began to fight and retreat, maintaining a basic formation, and retreated step by step into a low bungalow behind them.

After all the skeletons rushed in, the spear skeletons immediately blocked the doors and windows, using the narrow openings to mechanically and precisely pierce any zombies that tried to squeeze in.

The corpses lay scattered outside the door, quickly piling up and forming a natural barrier.

Wu Heng looked out through the gap. There were still dense swarms of zombies outside, filling every inch of his vision.

I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tonight.

……

At the same time, in the central area of ​​the base under the volcano.

In a luxuriously decorated apartment, melodious music flows slowly.

A dark-skinned, burly man in a leopard-print robe was sinking deep into a soft leather sofa.

On each side of him was a charming woman, whispering softly and giggling in his ear.

Boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.

A subordinate walked in respectfully and whispered, "Chief, a man was sent over from the trading market. He said he has information about a person with special abilities to give you."

The leader opened his eyes lazily, revealing a hint of interest. "He awakened his own abilities?"

"From what he said, he encountered a team of foreign superpowers while scavenging outside."

An alien with superpowers?
The leader leaned forward slightly, pushing the woman next to him away.

This is more surprising than the appearance of a mutant in their own base.

"Bring him in."

The man waved towards the door, and two armed soldiers came in, escorting a man.

As soon as he entered the room, the man fell to his knees with a plop, his forehead pressed against the carpet, and his voice was filled with flattery and fear: "Miguel, I meet the great chief! I wish you eternal health and prosperity!"

The chief looked him up and down as if he were looking at an insignificant piece of trash.

There are a lot of people like this in the base. They are not qualified to join the army and are only fit to pick up trash outside.

"Tell me what you know. Well said. You won't have to be a scavenger anymore." The leader took the cigar handed to him by the woman next to him, lit it with the fire in her hand, and took a slow puff.

Miguel quickly recounted his encounter with Wu Heng and the others.

Of course, the version has been somewhat tampered with.

He did not mention that the other party saved his life, but only said that the other party took the initiative to talk to him and tried to use supplies to exchange for some supplies in the base.

"...I agreed to him verbally, but I was always uneasy in my heart, afraid that he had some conspiracy against your base, Chief. I will report to you as soon as I come back!" Miguel said boastfully.

The leader nodded approvingly: "What kind of supernatural power does he have?"

"Fireballs! He can summon fireballs out of thin air! But... the leader, strangely enough, their leader looks like a little kid with an Asian face."

"Kids? Strange things really happen in the apocalypse." The leader wasn't too surprised and continued to ask, "How many of them are there? What about their equipment?"

"In addition to the child, there are two adults wearing protective suits, both carrying rifles, and they look tough. They asked us to trade at the old place tomorrow. From the sound of it, they have a lot of compressed biscuits and corpse cores!" Miguel's tone became more and more urgent, emphasizing the other party's value.

The leader closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and slowly blew a smoke ring towards Miguel's face.

Instead of dodging, Miguel took a deep breath greedily, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Tomorrow, you lead the way, and I will arrange for someone to follow you." The leader's mouth curled up with a playful smile, "If what you said is true, you will follow the army from now on, and you won't have to go out and suffer anymore."

Miguel's face was instantly filled with ecstasy, and he kowtowed several times, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Chief! Thank you, Chief!"

"Go back and prepare." The leader waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly, then hugged the two women and walked into the inner room with a big laugh.

……

In a dim house.

[Level increased to level 3, strength +1, spirit +1. ]

The system prompt sounds.

Wu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a new force surging in his body. The fatigue of the past few days was swept away, and his mental strength became more solid and sharp.

"Level three..." Wu Heng muttered to himself.

Living again, the upgrade speed seems to have been much faster.

Reaching level three means he can try using some skills that consume more energy.

For example, [Mist Cloud] from the Conjuration School, [Corpse Preservation], [Ray of Enfeeblement] and [Life Sustainment] from the Necromancer School, or [Battlefield of the Dead].

[Feather Fall] of the Transmutation System... Models of many spells have emerged in my mind and can be used at any time.

Now that I look at it, the skills I have learned are really quite diverse, and there are very few attacking skills.

But there was nothing I could do, as I was still in Black Stone Town at that time.

I was very eager for skill books, and since there was a panel that unlocked the skill after just one look, I simply learned all the skill books I got.

Turning his head to look out the window, after a long fight, there were finally only a few zombies left attacking outside.

There were probably a dozen or so zombies still, stumbling over the piles of corpses of their companions, roaring in vain as they rushed towards the house.

"Kill them out and clean them up." Wu Heng ordered.

The skeletons blocking the door rushed out directly, knocked the zombies over, swung their weapons at them, and completely wiped out the zombies in the blink of an eye.

Wu Heng walked out of the house and looked at the horrific sea of ​​corpses and blood in front of him with a frown.

If I use the [Bone Control Technique] on each of them, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the transformation until dawn.

Concentrate your mind, mobilize the magic power that has just been restored in your body, and release the [Battlefield of the Dead]!
The grayish-white halo suddenly spread out from him, sweeping across the corpses on the ground.

The flesh and blood of the corpses touched by the halo immediately melted away and turned into white skeletons that crawled out from the pile of corpses.

Wu Heng also felt that the magic power in his body was drained away in an instant, and a feeling of exhaustion came over him.

After recovering a little, he turned over and rode on the back of the skeleton deer without stopping.

Leading this skeleton army that had grown several times larger, he quietly retreated into deeper darkness, withdrew from the area, and headed to a safer place to spend the night.

……

The night was as dark as ink, and the pale moonlight shone through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating an open space in the center of the ruins.

Wu Heng stood in the shadow of a half-collapsed building. In front of him stood the newly transformed skeleton army, densely packed and silent, at least four or five hundred of them.

The white skeleton shone with a cold and hard luster in the moonlight.

"Deploy defenses with this building as the center." Wu Heng gave the order in a low voice.

Wow~!

The subtle sound of bones rubbing against each other instantly broke the silence.

The skeletons spread out efficiently, surrounding the building layer by layer.

The spearmen were outside, and the swordsmen and axemen were inside, forming a series of solid bone walls that completely isolated the inside and the outside.

The Skeleton Wolf walked into the only entrance of the building, its tall frame lowered, and its eyes like ghostly fire vigilantly scanned the outside.

After confirming that there was no problem with the defense, Wu Heng found a relatively clean corner in the inner room and sat down cross-legged.

Close your eyes, clear your mind, sink your consciousness into your body, and begin practicing the techniques of the Creation Sutra.

After all, he had practiced it before, and he was already familiar with the operation of the technique.

Soon, a faint trace of earth spirit power began to be attracted, slowly seeping out from the surrounding earth and converging towards his body.

It blends into the meridians, nourishing the newly upgraded body and spirit.

However, the earth spirit power here is still weak, not as fast as it was absorbed on Treasure Island, and not even as effective as it was in the forest yesterday.

But there is no other way but to continue practicing.

If Lilith were here, she might have props and materials that could change the effect.

Thinking of this, I thought of the people I sent to the prison.

"I hope they stay put and don't run around everywhere."

After all, this is another world, and vampires, elves, and rabbit people are all alien species here.

Concentrating his mind, he once again devoted all his consciousness to cultivation, guiding the thin earth spirit power.

……

Xinfu City Prison, with its towering high walls.

It's night in Mexico, but it's noon here.

On the wall, Lilith, Shannara, Minnie and others looked outside with serious expressions.

The prison was surrounded by a large army, not only densely packed, silently standing skeleton soldiers, but also rows of coldly glowing metal vehicles lined up behind them.

There were many types of armored vehicles, troop carriers, and even self-propelled artillery with the muzzles slightly raised, and the formation was solemn and imposing.

Although they had seen the power of armored vehicles in Treasure Island, they had never imagined that there were so many types of these metal wonders, and it seemed that each one had a different use.

"Listen up, everyone inside!" Suddenly, a huge loudspeaker came over, "Leave the camp and surrender immediately, otherwise we will take coercive measures!"

On the wall, everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Can't understand!
Minnie immediately said, "Chief Lilith, they...demand that we go out and surrender."

Because she had known Wu Heng for a long time, she had learned some of the writing and language of this world.

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly.

The observations over the past few days have also allowed them to guess some of the environment under their feet.

However, Wu Heng, who was supposed to come along, never showed up.

Lilith said calmly, "Tell them we are Wu Heng's friends, temporarily staying here, and we have no ill intentions. Please don't be so nervous."

Minnie picked up the megaphone she found in the prison, took a deep breath, and shouted outside the wall: "...We are the master's friends...!"

“Say Wu Heng’s name!” Sanera whispered a reminder. Minnie immediately corrected her, shouting again in slightly broken but clear Chinese, “We are Wu Heng’s friends! We pose no threat to you! Please don’t do this!”

The army outside the wall fell into a brief silence.

After a long moment, the loudspeaker sounded again, the tone still alert, but less suggestive of immediate attack: "Identify yourselves! Who are you?"

Minnie looked at Lilith.

Lilith pondered for a moment and said, "There's no point in shouting like this. Let them send a representative to the city gate so we can talk it out face to face."

Not afraid of those steel creatures and skeleton armies, no one can kill the hero.

But the skeletons and strange machines outside are obviously Wu Heng’s. Wouldn’t it be a fight to the death?

Minnie nodded, raised the megaphone again, and loudly conveyed Lilith's message.

After a brief silence, the other party agreed.

One of them quickly walked out and went to the open space between the two sides.

The prison gates slowly opened a crack.

Lily, with Minnie by her side, also walked to the open space in the middle.

The opposing officer's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the girl with rabbit ears, which appeared to be real ears, not just a headdress.

A person with super powers?
"Are you friends of the leader? How can you prove it?" the officer asked.

Minnie translated for Lilith, who said, "Are there any photos on your phone? Show them to him."

"Oh!" Minnie said, took out her phone and started flipping through several pictures. She found one that could be shown to outsiders and showed it to the other party. "Look, we know Wu Heng. He told us to wait for him here."

The other person looked at the photo on the phone; the two appeared very intimate.

The officer nodded, lightly touching his earpiece, and said, "These people should all be superhumans. They have photos of themselves with the leader, so they shouldn't be enemies."

After speaking, his gaze fell on the group of people in front of him. "We are the local army. If you need anything later, you can just let us know."

Minnie finished translating.

Lilith said, "Ask him about Wu Heng."

Minnie asked, and the officer shook his head, "We don't know the leader's whereabouts."

Lilith continued, "Leave us a cell phone prop to contact you if anything happens."

Minnie relayed the message, and the officer quickly left, handing them a cell phone.

He said a few more words and then led his troops away.

Lilith and the others returned to the prison and told the rest of the story.

……

Mexico, early morning.

Wu Heng stood atop a tower, gazing down at the distorted street below.

A convoy was approaching along the planned route, heading towards the house where the deal had been made with the three survivors the day before.

Leading the way were two modified off-road vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns. The machine gunners were completely covered in dark blue protective suits, with helmets and masks obscuring their faces.

He would occasionally turn the muzzle of his gun, scanning every corner of the ruins on both sides.

Following closely behind was a black van reinforced with thick steel plates, resembling a mobile fortress, while bringing up the rear was a truck full of soldiers.

The soldiers on the vehicle were wearing uniform bulletproof vests and carrying rifles; some were yawning, while others were chatting in hushed tones.

"They've come after all!" Wu Heng muttered to himself.

As I suspected, the three survivors had probably informed the base's administrators of their situation.

There were about forty or fifty people in total, which suggests they didn't think their side had a large number of people.

They arrived just in time.

I do need some things from them.

He withdrew his gaze, turned and went downstairs, ordering the silently standing skeletons, "Prepare for battle!"

……

Team position.

Inside the middle business van.

Miguel sat stiffly in his chair with his legs together, barely daring to look up.

Opposite him sat a burly man with a thick beard.

His identity is that of a legion commander in the base's army, wielding real power.

The objective of this operation is to capture or eliminate the alien with superpowers.

As for which one to choose in the end, that depends on the other party's performance.

Zizzi~!

A static crackled through the walkie-talkie, followed by a report from the lead vehicle: "Commander! We're approaching the target area; any further and we might enter the enemy's field of vision."

"The convoy halts, maintain vigilance!" the legion commander ordered gruffly.

Turning to the restless Miguel, he grinned and tossed him a signal transmitter slightly larger than a cigarette pack. "Go ahead! Once you confirm the target is inside, press the button. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"Commander...they...they have guns, what if we go in...?" Miguel's voice trembled.

The legion commander interrupted impatiently, "Use your brain! Find an excuse to hide somewhere far away, or just take a quick look from outside! As long as you confirm that the person is inside, do I have to teach you that?"

"Yes, yes! I understand!" Miguel immediately realized and nodded hurriedly.

Just as he reached for the car door handle...

Zizi!

The walkie-talkie crackled to life again, but this time the voice was tinged with confusion and urgency: "Report! Ahead... ahead, fog has suddenly rolled in! Very thick fog!"

"fog?"

The people in the car all looked out the window at the same time, only to see that the once clear end of the street had been swallowed up by a thick, swirling gray fog.

The fog spread at an eerie speed, surging in like a living thing, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed up the first half of the convoy.

"Something's wrong! Reverse! Get out of this area first!" The legion commander reacted quickly and shouted immediately.

However, the fog swept in much faster than the vehicles could reverse.

In just a few seconds, visibility dropped to less than a few meters.

A thud.

The last truck crashed into a vehicle blocking the middle of the road, forcing it to a stop.

Immediately afterwards, a chillingly dense sound of footsteps approached rapidly from the shadows of the surrounding buildings!

"Enemy attack!!"

"Fire! Fire freely!"

Panic screams and deafening gunshots instantly shattered the silence of the fog!

The soldiers fired wildly at the shadowy figures swaying in the fog. The bullets had little effect on the skeletons; even if they hit the bones, the skeletons would get up and charge forward again.

The next moment, countless skeleton warriors surged out like a tide from the windows, rooftops, and alleyways of the ruins on both sides!

Silently wielding rusted knives and axes, sharp spears, and even picked-up steel pipes, they charged towards the chaotic convoy!

The sounds of hacking, bones shattering, and desperate gunshots echoed fiercely through the fog-shrouded streets!
The legion commander inside the van stared wide-eyed, grabbed the walkie-talkie in horror, and roared hoarsely, "What's going on outside?! Are there zombies? Answer me!"

A reply came through the walkie-talkie, punctuated by screams and intense gunfire, the voice filled with terror: "No...not zombies! Skeletons! So many skeletons! New monsters...Ah~!"

"Skull?" The faces of everyone in the car turned deathly pale.

"Drive! Crash it! Crash it no matter what!" the legion commander roared furiously at the driver.

With a roar of its engine, the heavy armored van lurched backward, crashing into a truck that was also trying to escape from behind.

The driver jerked the steering wheel, trying to squeeze through the gap between the cars.

However, the roads here were narrow and chaotic to begin with, and after turning left and right twice, it crashed into the wall and came to a complete stop.

Snap! Clang!
The skeletons began hacking at the vehicle with their weapons!

The reinforced body and steel bars withstood most of the attacks, but the side windows finally shattered under the continuous heavy blows!
The soldiers inside the vehicle raised their guns in terror and fired blindly outwards.

At this moment, the skeletons on the outside retreated, and a group of skeletons carrying guns came over and started firing into the car through the gaps in the iron bars blocking the windows.

The bullet entered the car, and blood instantly splattered all over the interior of the windows.

The wailing stopped abruptly, and the car fell into complete silence.

……

The battle is completely over.

The thick fog quickly dissipated, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.

Scrapped vehicles, mutilated corpses, and silent, motionless skeleton soldiers.

Wu Heng walked slowly across the battlefield, ignoring the corpses of ordinary soldiers, and went straight to the commercial vehicle with steel plates added.

Through the shattered car window, one could see a bloody scene inside and several corpses riddled with bullet holes.

My eyes were immediately drawn to the standard military vehicle-mounted radio inside the car.

It appears that he was not hit by a bullet.

I pulled on the car door; it was locked tight.

After a moment's thought, he cast the [Bone Manipulation Technique] on the mangled corpse in the driver's seat.

The flesh and blood rapidly dissolved and fell away, and a stark white skeleton came to life, sitting up upright.

"Open the car door," Wu Heng ordered.

Click!

The car door unlocked with a click, and the skeleton driver stepped out.

Wu Heng opened the passenger door, dragged out another body, and carefully removed the blood-stained car radio.

Adjusting the frequency band, I familiarly operate the knob.

Soon, a faint but clear and melodious singing voice came from the loudspeaker; it was the public frequency of Xinfu City!
Wu Heng took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, picked up the microphone, and said in a deep voice, "Calling Xinfu City! Please respond if you hear me!"

After a brief silence, a clear female voice responded: "This is Xinfu City Radio Station, please speak."

Wu Heng gripped the microphone, a smile spreading across his face. "I need to speak with Deputy Leader Li Yahong. I have important intelligence to report to her."
