Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1095, Lilith Arrives
Inside a dilapidated house.

Wu Heng was tightly protected in the corner by several tall skeletons. The flying gravel and shrapnel were like stray arrows, hitting the surrounding walls and the skeletons, making crackling sounds.

Wu Heng frowned, his brain quickly thinking of a countermeasure.

Although [Mist Magic] obscured the helicopter's vision, the opponent was obviously going to take advantage of the ammunition to carry out covering fire.

Their skeletons have a large number but lack effective anti-aircraft means.

“It really cost a fortune…!”

Wu Heng cursed in his heart, he really couldn't understand why the other party would directly launch such fierce firepower. He even suspected that the person he killed yesterday was the biological father of the leader of this base.

I saw another hot bullet belt sweeping past the door, tearing deep grooves in the ground.

I knew in my heart that I couldn't delay any longer.

Continuing to hide is tantamount to waiting for death. Once hit directly by the machine gun, you will be turned into meat paste in an instant.

He quickly deduced the plan, gathered his magic power, and released [Mirror Image]!
Two clones that looked exactly like him at the moment instantly appeared beside him.

The intense feeling of overdraft caused by forcibly casting a spell at a higher level made his eyes go dark and his body stagger.

Then there was a tingling sensation in the head.

At the same time, the first level of the Creation Sutra's "Earth Spirit Nourishment" functioned automatically, and a weak but continuous trace of earth spirit power flowed in from under his feet, barely alleviating the violent mental backlash.

No time to reply!

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and one of his clones immediately turned over and jumped onto the skeleton deer. Taking advantage of the interval between machine gun fire, he rushed out from the edge of the clouds like an arrow!

"The target appears!" The helicopter pilot in the sky immediately spotted the running figure and confirmed that it was consistent with the description in the intelligence.

One of the helicopters turned around without hesitation and roared after them.

The skeleton deer, relying on its petite size and flexibility, shuttled frantically through the narrow and messy ruins, trying to escape the pursuit.

Lead away a fight!
Wu Heng did not stop and immediately ordered his second clone to ride on the skeleton wolf and rush out of the clouds from another direction!
The other helicopter that was still circling apparently hesitated for a moment, as if wondering how another one could appear.

But in the end, he was driven by the order and followed the second clone to fly out of the airspace.

opportunity!

Wu Heng's real body immediately lowered its body, and like a ghost, with the cover of [Cloud and Mist Technique] and smoke and dust, it crawled out from a broken window, quickly passed through the broken walls, and fled in the opposite direction of its clone.

……

Running all the way, carefully avoiding possible drone reconnaissance areas.

But I became more and more confused. The level of equipment of this gangster was too outrageous. They even had armed helicopters?

Just as I had gained some distance and escaped from the clouds, the heart-pounding sound of the propeller whistling came from behind me again!

Wu Heng rolled over and hid in a half-collapsed house. He held his breath and listened to the sound of a helicopter passing overhead. His heart almost jumped into his throat.

Just then~!

Suddenly, there was an extremely harsh sound of metal twisting and breaking in the sky!

This was followed by the desperate sound of the propeller idling after losing power, and a deafening roar.

Plane crashed?
Apparently something had fallen from the sky.

Wu Heng suppressed the urge to look through the camera and hid inside again.

As long as you hide well and avoid the helicopters, you won't be in much danger.

Squeak~!

Suddenly, the dilapidated wooden door of the hidden house was pushed open from the outside.

Wu Heng's whole body tensed up instantly, and murderous intent suddenly arose!
But when he saw the figure standing at the door against the light, the murderous intent in his eyes instantly turned into surprise!
"Lilith?"

The stunningly beautiful vampire leader at the doorway frowned delicately, looking him up and down with cold eyes, confusion evident on her face. "You learned the spell of transformation? How did you end up like this?"

"What kind of transformation magic is this! I'm Wu Heng!" Wu Heng walked out excitedly, subconsciously glancing at the sky outside the door. "Where's the helicopter...?"

"You mean those flying metal contraptions? I killed the people controlling them, and they fell and shattered on their own." Lilith said flatly, "I saw them attacking the skeletons, so I guess they're not yours."

"Well done! I almost fell into their hands!" Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved for having survived a disaster.

Lilith's gaze fell on him again, and after sensing him carefully, her brows furrowed even deeper.

He was of low level, without any props or special items on his body, and looked extremely miserable... It was obvious what had happened.

"Tell me, what happened?" Lilith's tone became serious.

Wu Heng sighed and recounted in detail how the Vatican's gods suddenly descended and killed him in the blink of an eye.

"...Luckily, I cultivated the Body Refining Technique to the third stage, which gave me a chance to be reborn from the ashes. I was lucky enough to be resurrected, but all my equipment and rare items were gone."

After hearing this, Lilith's face showed a rare look of extreme shock.

Her rosy little mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

The gods...actually appeared!

She had previously advised Wu Heng not to worry too much, thinking that the matter would not alarm that kind of existence.

But unexpectedly, the gods not only came, but also attacked and wiped them out directly with such an absolutely crushing attitude!

Wu Heng's strength was previously among the best among heroes, but she couldn't even withstand a single finger from the opponent... The power of the gods was completely beyond her comprehension.

"Where are Xiaoxiao and the others?" Lilith asked immediately, her tone filled with anxiety.

Wu Heng can be reborn in this world through secret methods, but Xiao Xiao definitely cannot follow him.

Wu Heng's expression darkened, but he spoke confidently, "When the battle broke out, I realized that the enemy's strength was far beyond my imagination, so I immediately let them escape. They shouldn't be in any danger."

Although Lilith was worried, she knew there was no better solution at the moment.

Facing the gods, it was a rare thing that Wu Heng was able to be reborn and Xiao Xiao was able to escape.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "What are your plans next?"

Wu Heng was silent for a moment, "You should have a preliminary understanding of the situation in this world..."

"This is your hometown. You are willing to bring us here in times of crisis. We all know the seriousness of the matter and will never leak it to anyone." Lilith said solemnly.

Wu Heng shook his head. "What I'm saying is, I'll level up again as quickly as possible! This world's 'Spiritual Awakening Cult' has already laid a solid foundation. As long as I can recover to level 18, I'll be able to quickly acquire resources to reach a higher level. Once I reach Hero, I'll go back and pick up Xiaoxiao and the others!"

Lilith looked at the familiar confidence and determination in his eyes and nodded slightly, "As long as you have confidence."

"Are you here alone?" Wu Heng looked behind her.

"The convoy is still behind. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I rushed here first using the [Tianya Zhichi Ruler]." Lilith shook an ancient bronze ruler in her hand.

"You came just in time!" Wu Heng said sincerely.

"It's rare to be able to force you into such an embarrassing situation." Lilith raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a rare smile.

Wu Heng also smiled. He took in Lilith's tall, mature figure, then looked at his own childish body. Suddenly, an idea struck him: "By the way... could you become a little smaller too? We'd look more coordinated standing together."

As he said this, he walked forward naturally and took Lilith's hand.

Lilith glared at him unhappily, but didn't shake him off. "I came all this way here just to play dress-up with you? What are you going to do next?"

Wu Heng's expression straightened as he pointed in the direction of the volcano base. "There's a human base in that direction. Help me take it down and use it as our temporary base. We'll discuss the follow-up plan in detail later."

"Is there a strong person inside?" Lilith confirmed.

"There are no high-level professionals in this world, so it means nothing to you."

"Let's go." Lilith acted decisively and turned around to walk out.

"Hey! I just reached level three, you have to protect me later!" Wu Heng hurriedly caught up.

Lilith looked down at his now short form, then suddenly reached out and gently pinched his cheek, smiling, "You look quite cute now."

Wu Heng frowned and dodged her hand. "How are the others? Are they all okay?"

"Everything is fine. Apart from being worried about you, everything is normal," Lilith said.

"Okay! Once we enter the camp, we must be secretive. The main goal is to eliminate their leader and control the center." Wu Heng instructed.

"I know, little adult." Lilith chuckled, picked him up, spread her wings, and flew towards the base.

……

Volcano base, command center.

The cold electronic instruments made a regular humming sound, but the atmosphere in the entire room dropped to freezing point.

When the signals of the only two armed helicopters disappeared from the screen one after another and contact was completely lost, the command room fell into silence.

In the apocalyptic environment, it is hard to imagine any force that can destroy two attack helicopters at the same time so quickly.

"Immediately retrieve the last footage transmitted from the helicopter before it lost contact!" the leader said with a gloomy expression. "I want to see who has the guts to go against me!"

He was angry on the surface, but in his heart he was certain that this was a conspiracy against him.

It is very likely that the local branch of "Yanluo Palace" is trying to annex this place.

The other party had made missionary requests many times before, but he rejected them all with various reasons, and also asked for a large amount of supplies.

But then I thought, if the "Yama Palace" takes action, there is no need to come up with any conspiracy, they can just come and kill them.

"Chief, the last video has been retrieved!" the technician reported hurriedly.

The screen flickered a few times and began playing the final recording from the helicopter camera.

The picture shook violently, machine guns roared, and they madly fired at the buildings below, gaining an absolute upper hand.

Then, the camera turned, as if patrolling the battlefield, looking for any fish that had slipped through the net.

At this moment, a figure with huge black bat wings on its back flew towards the helicopter at high speed!
The pilot's panicked curses were immediately heard on the communication channel.

"Shit! What the hell is that?!"

"Is it a mutant?! Fire! Fire now!"

The helicopter hurriedly turned its nose and the machine gun spewed out flames again.

The next second, however, the flying figure vanished like a ghost, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Immediately following was the pilot's piercing, desperate scream from the recording. The scene began to spin, finally fading into darkness amidst a cacophony of noise and impacts.

Inside the command room, everyone who saw this scene was stunned, with cold sweat oozing from their backs.

A woman? With wings like in a vampire movie? Destroyed a helicopter attack helicopter?
What has this world become!
Wow~!

At this moment, there was a sudden thud of bodies falling to the ground behind him.

Everyone turned around in horror, only to see that the soldiers who were guarding the room had all silently collapsed to the ground, their fate unknown.

Not far away, a tall and slender figure had appeared there at some point.

She was dressed in a dark, fitted outfit that accentuated her stunning curves; her face was beautiful, but her eyes were icy cold!
Everyone was startled; this was the same woman from the previous scene, only without wings.

She was holding a 'child' in her arms, who was the target of her pursuit.

"You, you all... there must be some misunderstanding here..." The leader's face was pale, and he tried to explain incoherently.

However, before he could finish speaking, he felt his blood and qi churning and surging like boiling water, and hot blood gushed out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose at the same time.

He collapsed heavily to the ground, lifeless.

The other people in the room all suffered the same fate, collapsing to the ground and dying.

Lilith put Wu Heng on the ground and casually asked, "And then?"

Wu Heng glanced at the corpse on the ground and asked, "I don't have many spells available right now. Do you have a way to bring him back to life and make him a puppet for now?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lilith was somewhat speechless.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a puppet-shaped object from his spatial ring.

She knelt down, took some blood, and smeared it on the doll's forehead.

The next moment, the already dead leader suddenly sat up from the ground, looking around in a daze.

“This state can last for three days, after which he will die completely.” Lilith handed the puppet to Wu Heng. “With this, you can command him to do anything.”

Wu Heng took the puppet and could clearly feel the soul power emanating from it connected to the 'living corpse' in front of him.

He immediately issued the order: "Immediately issue an order to lift all alert levels at the base and for all units to resume normal operations."

"Yes." The puppet leader nodded blankly, picked up the internal phone next to him, and smoothly issued the order.

Wu Heng then looked at Lilith: "When will the convoy arrive?"

"It should be around dusk." Lilith gracefully sat down on the leather sofa next to her, looking around the modern, technologically advanced command center with great interest.

Who came this time?

“It’s mainly the locals here. Minnie and Philippa from the island lord’s mansion were clamoring to come, and Hilary and Shia were worried, so they came along too,” Lilith replied.

"Why bring them here? It's not very safe around here." Wu Heng frowned slightly.

“They were all very worried about you, especially Philippa, who kept pestering me for a long time.” Lilith’s cold face revealed no emotion. “I thought you would need someone to take care of you here all by yourself, so I brought you along.”

“Philippa… taking care of someone?” Wu Heng imagined the scene and was speechless, but he understood the concerns of the others.

Without saying anything more, he turned his gaze back to the puppet leader, "Clean this place up. Our convoy will arrive at dusk. You are in charge of making arrangements and letting them into the city."

"Yes!" The puppet leader picked up the phone again and quickly relayed the instructions.

Soon, a squad of soldiers came in, quickly dragged the bodies off the ground, and cleaned up the bloodstains.

Although everyone was filled with doubts, no one dared to ask a single question.

It's also clear that everyone perceives the leader here as a rather violent person.

……

Once the command center is cleaned up again.

Lilith handed a satellite phone to Wu Heng, saying, "This is from Li Yahong. Use this to contact her so you can stay safe."

Wu Heng took the phone, found a seat, and made a video call to Li Yahong. He then brought Qi Hancai and Zhao Yanqiu into the meeting.

The video call connected, and when the three women saw the child-like face on the other side of the screen, they all fell silent.

“Lilith has arrived, and the convoy will be able to move into the base at dusk,” Wu Heng said first.

The other side remained completely silent.

After several seconds, Li Yahong hesitated before speaking, "...Little friend, who are you?"

Qi Hancai said, "Could he be Wu Heng's illegitimate child?"

“The age doesn’t match up!” Zhao Yanqiu said.

"Holy crap!" Wu Heng nearly choked on his own breath. "I am Wu Heng!"

"Is this... a phone effect? ​​Like turning you into a child?" Zhao Yanqiu asked, her face full of doubt.

Wu Heng did feel a little uneasy facing Zhao Yanqiu.

Xiao Xiao was left behind in another world. Although he firmly believed that she would not be in danger, he still felt a sense of guilt for losing his child.

"There was an accident during my training of my superpowers, which caused my body to temporarily revert to this state," Wu Heng explained vaguely.

The three people opposite were clearly stunned by this explanation, and there was a few more seconds of silence.

With a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, Qi Hancai asked, "What kind of superpower is so good? It can even make me younger? Can it awaken my powers too?"

"That's right, I want one too!" Li Yahong and Zhao Yanqiu echoed in unison, their eyes burning with desire.

Wu Heng interrupted them impatiently, "We'll talk about this later! Now listen to my instructions and carry them out immediately!"

Seeing Wu Heng's serious expression, the three immediately abandoned their joking attitude and became serious.

"Li Yahong, immediately mobilize all the skeleton troops stationed on the outskirts to clear out the zombies! I want all the skeletons to move, whether it's to support remote shelters or to clear out any remaining zombie areas, arrange everything."

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away!" Li Ya nodded emphatically.

"Zhao Yanqiu, utilize every available channel—broadcast, forums, or other means—to vigorously promote the 'Lingqi Cult' faith, sparing no effort!"

"Yes!"

"Qi Hancai, you will continue to oversee the overall situation from the South Korean base. Through the channels of the 'Dawn Alliance,' coordinate and support their actions to ensure the plan is implemented as quickly as possible."

“Leave it to me!” Qi Hancai nodded in agreement.

Wu Heng's purpose was also very simple.

Even if you don't level up, you can still gain experience as long as the skeleton moves.

Leveling up is not difficult.

Moreover, I am indeed worried about Xiaoxiao and the others, and I need to return as soon as possible to bring them back.

Then, Wu Heng chatted with the three of them about the base's development before hanging up the phone.

Since Lilith was watching from the side, Wu Heng was too embarrassed to respond to the three women's sweet talk. Although Lilith couldn't understand the local language, her keen observation skills made it easy for her to be discovered.

I felt a little embarrassed.

……

At dusk, the convoy arrived on time outside the volcano base city.

The person in charge of this team was the Lingqi Church's liaison officer in Mexico, a middle-aged man in his thirties named Chu Xinjie, who was calm and capable in his actions.

Wu Heng did not appear directly, but instead called Qi Hancai again and asked her to give some orders to 'Chu Xinjie'.

Wu Heng, on the other hand, is a very important family member here.

It needs special protection.

Chu Xinjie didn't ask any questions and skillfully took over the situation, taking inventory of supplies and reassuring the staff, demonstrating extremely high efficiency.

……

The bathroom is decorated in a luxurious and spacious style.

Wu Heng lay helplessly in the bathtub, the warm water enveloping his body.

Minnie knelt beside the bathtub, rolled up her sleeves, and carefully wiped his arms and back with a bath sponge. Her movements were gentle, and her eyes were full of curiosity and an almost indulgent smile.

“Master is so cute, he’s so tiny right now.” Minnie couldn’t help but chuckle and gently tapped his cheek with her fingertip.

Philippa, Hilary, and Shia Li were either leaning or sitting on the waterproof couch and washstand nearby, making no attempt to hide their presence, with several pairs of eyes focused on him with great interest.

Their eyes were also full of light.

It's the kind of radiance that comes from discovering something new and amazing.

"Hey, have you seen enough? Can you go outside and let me wash myself?" Wu Heng felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Especially this situation where you're being watched while you're taking a bath from all sides.

"Look what's wrong, little sprout!" Philippa crossed his arms, dressed in a neat leather armor.

Outfits remain a characteristic of this other world.

Shi Yali tilted her head and asked curiously, "Wu Heng! Can you... change back to your original form? Or will you stay like this forever?"

“Of course! It’s only temporary! Once you regain some of your strength, you’ll be back to normal!” Wu Heng said.

The group nodded, indicating that they understood.

Then, the group got more and more into their conversation.

Wu Heng had reached his limit.

It seemed that the more he let them leave, the happier they became.

There was a crash.

Wu Heng stood up, still soaking wet, water droplets sliding down his body. He deliberately kept a straight face, his gaze sweeping over the four faces with a hint of provocation.

So, anyone want to try 'mini bamboo shoots'?
