Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 523: Eat Them Hard

The skeleton army began to continue cleaning up the remaining zombies.

Wu Heng began to summarize the characteristics of the Light Knight he had just summoned.

Judging from the appearance, the body belongs to the elemental type summon. Not only the torso, but also the armor and weapons are the same.

The water elemental shark summoned by the [Water Monster Conch] obtained previously is an elemental summon.

The elemental properties are different, but there is no essential difference.

The biggest advantage is that there is no physical burden.

Although it will still be attacked and cause certain damage, it will not cause fatal damage like the physical body.

Moreover, the level of the summoned creature is not low. It is now level four and can continue to improve as it kills undead creatures.

If you reach level 5, it is equivalent to level 18.

Indirectly added a high-level bodyguard.

The attack method is ordinary slashing attacks. The biggest feature is that after each attack, the target will be on fire.

I haven't tested it yet to see if attacking ordinary creatures has this effect.

But the greater possibility is the suppression of undead creatures.

Now it seems that this strange item is still quite good.

“It would be nice if there were no side effects.”

……

not far away.

Granda flew back and threw the sheathed evil sword over. "All the deformed zombies are dead. Some zombies are in the building over there. Let the skeleton search for them."

"Well, with your help, things have gotten faster." Wu Heng put away the evil sword and praised casually.

Glenda floated aside and asked, "What was that glowing thing just now? It felt a little dangerous."

Wu Heng explained, "Didn't the association distribute rewards yesterday? One of the rewards was the emblem of the Holy See, which can summon a light-attribute knight to help in the battle."

Hearing about the church, Grenda was slightly stunned. "You are a necromancer, why do you want such a reward? How unlucky."

The words sound awkward, but I understand the meaning.

Even though Wu Heng has nothing to do with the church, the direction of his career development is the opposite of the church.

Problems can easily arise if there is too much contact.

"I can't do anything about it. The reward is set by the association." Wu Heng paused for a moment, then said, "Use it first. This kind of summoned knight has pretty good combat ability. I won't need it in the future. It's also good for Wei'er, Minnie and the others to protect themselves."

"Okay, you can't go astray. Xiaoxiao and I are counting on you."

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you or give up on you."

"Ah."

One person, one soul, chatted for a while.

The fighting on the battlefield also ended.

The skeletons automatically dispersed and began to clean up the battlefield.

Wu Heng commanded several skeletons to go to the building where Granda killed the zombies and search for corpses.

I stood aside and waited for a while.

Not long after.

The corpses of the deformed zombies and evolved zombies were collected and piled together.

Wu Heng began the transformation, then collected all the corpse cores and put them into the space ring.

Then, he continued to release [Battlefield of the Dead] along the way.

One by one, the skeletons stood up, shook their bodies, and joined the queue.

When I came here, I only brought more than 5 skeletons, but now the number has at least doubled.

At first glance, all you see are densely packed white skeletons.

Wu Heng took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Ask the convoy to come over and keep moving forward."

"Roger that!"

The convoy drove up from behind.

Wu Heng got back on the truck and continued on his way.

The sound of the bombing was so loud that all the zombies around were attracted over.

The team's path forward became smoother.

……

Traveled for a distance.

The lead vehicle suddenly slowed down, and the other party's voice came over the intercom, "Sister Qi, there is a roadblock ahead, and there is a sign saying "Please detour due to bridge maintenance". Should we still move forward?"

As they spoke, the convoy began to slow down and slowly stopped.

Qi Hancai frowned, picked up the intercom and asked, "How is the inspection going? Can our convoy pass through?"

"I can't see it from the car, and I'm not sure if I can get through." The answer came from the walkie-talkie.

Then, someone in the lead car opened the door and got out.

She came over with a crumpled promotional paper and handed it to the window, "Sister Qi, it says here."

Qi Hancai took it, took a look at it, and handed it to Wu Heng.

"The bridge ahead is under repair, please take a detour:
The bridge ahead is broken. From now until June 6, the bridge is under emergency repair. Please detour. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The construction manager is Liang Zheng.

"I'll arrange someone to go check it out ahead." Qi Hancai turned around and said.

"Wait a minute." Wu Heng said.

Wait for Xiaoxiao, who is responsible for high-altitude reconnaissance in the sky, to bring back the news.

Wu Hengcai continued, "It's okay, let's keep going. It's too far to take a detour."

Qi Hancai nodded, picked up the intercom and said, "Move the sign blocking the road ahead and keep going."

"receive."

The roadblock ahead was cleared.

The convoy began to approach.

As the convoy moved forward, Wu Heng also saw an orange-yellow fence that was nearly one person tall.

And there are huge words saying "Please detour as construction is ongoing".

……

On the bridge connecting the two roads.

Houses were built.

The iron frame and colored steel plates make it look like a temporary sentry box, but it is built solidly and can withstand the cold wind.

The two sides of the bridge, where the roads connect, are cut off at the front and back.

Only the house in the middle is supported by huge bridge pillars.

At the cut-off point, a suspension bridge is built, as in ancient times, to prevent zombies from wandering into the building.

It forms a unique refuge.

The sound of cars humming.

A man on a motorcycle approached quickly and waved to the people guarding the opposite side.

The suspension bridge slowly lowered.

Waiting for the motorcyclist, he rode straight in.

The drawbridge was raised again.

He threw the car aside, walked quickly into the building and went up to the second floor.

Standing outside a room, he knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother Liang, I'm back from getting information."

"Wait!" a voice came from inside.

Not long after, the door opened and a young but thin woman came out, lowered her head and walked away quickly.

The man on the motorcycle stared at the woman's back, looked at her for several times before entering the room.

The room was dim, barely able to keep out some of the coolness.

A middle-aged man with a crew cut, less than 1.7 meters tall and slightly dark-looking, was sitting on the sofa, casually tying his belt.

"What happened just now? Did the army enter the city?"

The man on the motorcycle turned around immediately and said hurriedly, "Brother Liang, it's skeletons. Large groups of bone soldiers wearing armor and holding iron spears. There are also bone flying dragons, the ones that threw food to us last time, and trucks."

Liang Zheng's eyes narrowed. "Those people from Xinfu City?"

"It must be them. I've never heard of other bases with such flying dragons. It must be them."

Liang Zheng also immediately became nervous, "What are they doing here? No, where are they going? Will they come here?"

The younger brother said, "I don't know. I suspected it was them, so I came back immediately. I don't know if they will come here."

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

While the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then, another person walked in quickly, saying anxiously, "Brother Liang, this is bad. There are too many skeletons approaching this way."

Liang Zheng stood up suddenly, his eyes full of suspicion and fear.

Coming towards me?

That shouldn’t be the case. I have nothing in common with them.

Why did you come here directly?
Want to cross the bridge?
Yes, do we need to cross the bridge?

"Brother Liang, what should we do?"

Liang Zheng took out a pistol from a drawer and said, "Let the brothers prepare their weapons. Let's go out and take a look together."

“Brother Liang, they are from Xinfu City, and there are too many bone soldiers.”

"What nonsense! We have nowhere to run." Liang Zheng put his gun on, put on his down jacket, and said, "Maybe we can make some money."

Several people walked quickly to the building on the other side.

Through the window, you can see a convoy parked in the distance and skeletons that stretch as far as the eye can see.

After swallowing, he said, "Go and give them a walkie-talkie. I want to talk to them."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Go and ask the brothers to prepare the explosives we got last time, just in case."

……

It wasn’t a long distance.

The convoy slowed down again.

The lead car's voice came over the intercom, "Sister Qi, we can see the bridge now. It looks like a house has been built on the bridge, blocking it."

Qi Hancai frowned and looked at Wu Heng, "There are survivors on the bridge."

Wu Heng nodded, "Have the convoy stop and wait for a moment."

Qi Hancai picked up the intercom and said, "Slow down the convoy and stop."

The convoy slowly stopped, and the skeleton army also stood by and waited.

The skeleton dragon fell to the ground, shaking its head and tail.

Just as the convoy stopped, a voice came from the intercom again, "Sister Qi, someone is coming from the other side, and they are sending a intercom."

Qi Hancai said, "Bring it to me."

A man walked quickly to the back and handed in an old walkie-talkie wrapped with yellow tape.

The battery level of the walkie-talkie is almost running out, and the indicator light keeps flashing.

Then there was a rustling noise, "Hey~! Is this the shelter in Xinfu City?"

Qi Hancai pressed the button, "Yes, we want to pass by here, please give us a favor."

The other side was silent for a moment, and then said, "Oh, this is difficult. We have already built a structure on the bridge. If you want to pass through, we have to tear it down. It's winter, look at this... It's not easy to deal with."

Qi Hancai said: "We have cleaned up the outside. You can find a building to spend the winter in. It is safer than this temporary house."

"But we are used to living here and have no intention of moving out."

Qi Hancai wanted to speak, but Wu Heng said directly: "Ask him what he wants?"

"Do you have any requests?" "It is indeed a large shelter. They always say and do what they say. Give us 100 large bags of food and one of your military trucks. We will immediately lower the drawbridge and take you over." The other side said.

Qi Hancai glanced at Wu Heng.

"Don't promise him yet."

Qi Hancai said into the intercom: "We need to discuss this, please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Qi Hancai looked over in confusion.

Wu Heng said: "Wait a minute."

"Yeah." Qi Hancai nodded, picked up the intercom on his side and gave the order.

Waited a while.

Xiaoxiao flew back.

In the shared visual, explosives are heard being prepared.

Wu Heng's eyes narrowed instantly.

He whispered, "Go, kill them."

"What?" Qi Hancai thought he was talking to her and asked softly.

"It's okay, wait a moment." Wu Heng said, crossing his arms and waiting.

……

On the bridge, inside the building.

Liang Zheng and several others were waiting for the results.

One person asked, "Brother Liang, the conditions you set are too many. There is no way they will agree to them."

Liang Zheng suddenly turned around with a little excitement on his face, "They must be in a hurry to get there. They don't have time to waste here with us. We should take whatever we can get. We should eat them up first. When they pass by, we will follow their path and leave here. We are not afraid of retaliation."

"Is this possible?!"

"Why not..." Liang Zheng's tone suddenly paused while he was speaking.

His movements were stiff and his eyes were wide open, filled with fear.

Click~!

The sound of bones twisting was heard.

Liang Zheng's neck suddenly twisted backwards and his body fell to the ground.

The remaining few people were shocked by the scene before them and suddenly stood up from their seats to watch this scene.

Dead~!

Liang Zheng, a man who had swallowed a corpse core and whose body had been enhanced.

He died here in such a strange way.

"I, I don't feel right." Another person said with difficulty.

With a look of fear and disbelief on his face, he pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his companions.

"What are you doing? Put the gun down."

"You're crazy, aren't you?"

Bang Bang Bang ~!

Gunshots rang out.

The bullets hit each other.

Several people in the room fell to the ground, blood flowing on the ground.

"Help..." A man climbed out with difficulty, shouting loudly.

Then the suspended pistol fired again.

Hit the back of the head.

The room fell completely silent.

……

"There are gunshots from the other side. They seem to be fighting among themselves." A voice came from the lead car.

Qi Hancai looked at Wu Heng, "They had an internal conflict."

Wu Heng nodded, "Come closer."

Qi Hancai picked up the intercom and gave the order directly.

The convoy slowly approached the suspension bridge and stopped on the other side.

Wu Heng glanced at the suspension bridge and the height of several meters below.

These people are quite smart. They actually came up with this method to prevent the zombies from approaching.

"Go over and lower the suspension bridge." Wu Heng ordered.

The suspension bridge was erected, like a wall blocking the way ahead.

No matter how good your bounce is, it's still hard to get through.

Keranmu climbed onto the back of the flying dragon and flew directly to the opposite side.

Lower the drawbridge.

Wu Heng said, "There are explosives on the bridge. Send someone who knows about this to go over and remove them. Be careful."

They are all homemade explosives that I made myself.

Easy to make, easy to take apart.

Qi Hancai immediately gave an order and someone walked over and started to remove the explosives.

"Sister Qi, take them all down. There are only four of them. Even if they explode, they may not be able to blow up our car." A survivor tossed them in his hand.

Qi Hancai said, "Go ahead and check the strength of the suspension bridge to see if the truck can pass through. You guys take the skeletons and go into the building to see if there are any other people."

The order was given and everyone took action immediately.

Some people began to check the sturdiness of the suspension bridge, and several people entered the building with skeletons.

The corpse was dragged out, along with several men and women.

Qi Hancai went over to find out.

He also walked back and handed over the explosives and pistols he had collected, and then said, "The suspension bridge still needs to be reinforced. In addition to the dead, there are four women and two men inside. The men all know some mechanical maintenance."

"What are they planning?"

"He's pretty scared, but he'll probably go with us," Qi Hancai replied.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What does it have to do with those dead people?"

"They said they were all survivors from nearby who didn't know each other at first and later gathered here. We can't rule out the possibility that some of them are lying," said Qi Hancai.

"Spread them out in the truck bed."

"Okay!" Qi Hancai continued to give orders.

After Wu Hengze finished moving the supplies inside, he ordered the demolition of the buildings blocking the bridge, including sheets of blue iron foam boards and some iron sheets.

It's not difficult to dismantle.

It was soon dismantled and piled aside.

"Come on, let's go there."

Everyone got out of the car and took the heavy objects off the truck.

Trucks drove past carefully one by one, and then the skeleton army came in batches.

Wait until everyone has passed the bridge, get back in the car and continue on your way.

……

Leaving the bridge, we continued driving for some distance.

A large group of zombies appeared again in front of us.

The convoy stopped at the rear.

A skeleton dragon flew overhead, dropping bombs like a rainstorm.

There was a loud explosion, and the earth turned upside down.

After several rounds of bombing, the number of zombies along the road began to gradually decrease.

Wu Heng released the Light Knight again, "Don't attack the skeletons, go kill those corpses outside."

The knight turned into a stream of light again and appeared at the front of the team.

Holding a long sword, he chopped at the zombies again and again.

The flames enveloped the zombies, gradually turning them into charred corpses that fell to the ground.

……

Wait for the Light Knight, and his body dims again.

Wu Heng took him back and continued to let the skeleton army clear the road.

After two consecutive battles, the Light Knight cleared out nearly a thousand zombies.

In fact, the combat effectiveness is pretty good.

It has a special effect on the undead in particular.

However, the level remains unchanged.

Wu Heng was a little skeptical. He thought the upgrade conditions would be as demanding as his own experience points.

If that happens, the Light Knight may never reach the fifth level in his lifetime.

The battle is over and the battlefield begins to be cleaned.

At this time, the sky had already darkened.

Wu Heng released [Battlefield of the Dead] to transform the corpses, and the headlights of the convoy lit up the entire road.

Qi Hancai came over with the motorcade and said, "The airport is just ahead. Do we have to wait until tomorrow?"

Humans always think that night is unsafe.

Given the characteristics of human vision, Krishna is indeed at a disadvantage.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over there and see what's going on."

Qi Hancai nodded, glanced at him carefully, and continued to ask, "Where's Sister Yahong? The radio just said that she has arrived at the military factory."

"We definitely can't make it back tonight. If there's nothing else, let her stay for another day and we can go back together tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll tell her later."

"Don't talk about our intelligence on the radio, just pass on the message."

"understand!"

……

After a short meal and rest.

The convoy set off again and drove for a distance in the night. Under the moonlight, the outline of the airport could be vaguely seen.

The convoy turned off its lights and was plunged into complete darkness.

Wu Heng released two ghosts at the same time and began to investigate the situation.

Not long after, the ghost returned.

Get into the body and share the picture.

The inside of the airport was in a mess, with claw marks and bloodstains in every corner.

Large groups of zombies were wandering around the house with a purpose.

And in a compartment on the second floor.

A strange zombie appeared in sight.

The skin on its body is black and keratinous, and its back is an oval, bulging hard shell, through which you can vaguely see something resembling wings.

Standing there in a daze.

It's like a rhinoceros beetle in human form.

Level 4 Corpse King.
