Chapter 79: Chapter 79, Love, You Don’t Understand !
The next day.
After having breakfast, Wu Heng traveled through the boundary door to the ZombieWorld.
Having confirmed that nothing special happened last night, he headed downstairs with his skeletons.
He let Xiao Xiao out to play by herself.
Wu Heng headed directly towards the piles of zombie corpses stacked like mountains.
Here lay the untransformed bodies, forming a slope between two buildings.
It was the Zombie World and the profession of Necromancer that made him accept the presence of corpses and the dead.
Otherwise, the hellish environment before his eyes might scare people to death.
He held his magic wand and directly released the newly unlocked skill, “Dead Bones Battlefield”.
The moment the skill was released, a grey and white halo rapidly spread from his body, sweeping over the piled-up bodies nearby.
Whoosh-!
The next second, the flesh of the corpses started to fall off.
One by one, skeletons slowly climbed up from the hill of corpses.
Their flimsy footing caused them to roll down the slope.
Wobbling, they stood up and entered a standby state.
After the spell was cast, Wu Heng entered a kind of zoning out state.
It was like he’s entered sage time, his mind was empty, not wanting to think about anything.
This is probably because the skill description stated that it would consume 80% of his spiritual power.
But the effect was indeed efficient.
His gaze fell again on the standing skeletons and he made a rough count.
There were about 300 to nearly 400 skeletons standing up at once, transforming about a quarter of the pile of corpses.
According to the “Book of Necromancy,” a normal transformation would only result in about one hundred skeletons.
It seemed that his spiritual power was indeed a bit higher.
“Go over there.” Wu Heng commanded.
The standing skeletons walked to one side.
“Jianyi, Jian’er, distribute weapons to them.”
Jianyi and Jian’er followed the order and started taking out kitchen knives to distribute to the approaching skeleton warriors.
Wu Heng drank two bottles of Spirit Potion and sat aside for a rest.
Then he continued to release “Dead Bones Battlefield”. This time, only over a hundred skeletons stood up and joined the ranks.
How much extra spiritual power he had was difficult for him to gauge.
It seemed that even after resting for a while, he didn’t recover much.
Wu Heng sat aside, watching the “Book of Necromancy” while waiting for his spiritual power to recover, occasionally releasing the skill.
Increasing the number of transformations.
Regardless, it was much faster than transforming them one by one.
In the afternoon, Li Yahong brought over the iron spears. Due to two days of backlog, she brought over 240 today.
Wu Heng glanced at them, then took the skeletons to pick up the food.
When bags of food and cans were being moved down,
Li Yahong’s face showed uncontrollable joy, and her eyes were shining.
The radio can contact the outside world and also hear about the situation in some places.
Food is a resource that every survivor’s camp lacks, even if the main station is promoting the identification of wild grass and vegetables that can alleviate hunger.
Right now, even if their small camp is not the richest camp, they don’t have to worry about food and drink.
Perhaps in a few more days, they could all gain some weight.
The original plan was to exchange some food from Wu Heng, modify the car, and then head to the nearest survivor’s camp.
But now… everyone was beginning to waver.
Some were afraid of Wu Heng, who could control so many skeletons. Yet, they also felt it was safer to work under his protection, where they had food and drink.
It was a difficult decision to make.
“Thank you.” Li Yahong sincerely expressed her gratitude.
“You have a deal to uphold too. You also need to speed up your progress.” Wu Heng replied.
Li Yahong nodded, and then continued, “I want to accept some nearby survivors.”
Wu Heng gave her a glance.
He had no problem with accepting survivors, as more people meant more hands to work.
But for Li Yahong and her group, they would have to share a lot of food.
“Can you control that many people? Not everyone might be willing to follow the rules.” Wu Heng reminded.
“Only the nearby ones. If there are people who can come over, we will offer them temporary shelter.”
“Okay, I have no problem with that.”
“Good.”
The two chatted for a while before Li Yahong headed back with the food.
Wu Heng also returned to the neighborhood. After studying his skills for a moment, he decided to head back to Black Stone Town first.
In the afternoon, Black Stone Town.
As soon as Wu Heng stepped out of the crowded area, he saw Yuli facing him, eating a baked cake as she walked along.
Seeing Wu Heng, she waved from afar.
“What are you up to?” Wu Heng asked.
“I’m looking for you. What are you up to?” Yuli asked back.
“Uh, I’m headed to the shop. Did you need something from me?”
“No, no. Let’s go, I’ll accompany you.”
She’s come to eat at his place again.
The two of them headed towards the shopping street together.
At ‘Deer Antler Shop’, Wu Heng bought more than 20 bottles of Spirit Potion in one go and had Basen carry them.
Yuli looked at him curiously.
She asked, “What are you buying all these potions for?”
Wu Heng wasn’t interested in taking on quests or researching any magic.
She was curious, wondering why he bought so many potions. They didn’t even taste good as drinks, certainly not as good as the red tea at his place.
“They’re for someone else.”
“Oh, you’re a pretty good person, nothing like a Necromancer. You should be a
Priest, giving blessings to people every day.”
“It’s just a vocation. Kindness depends on the person….”
“Hey…!” Yuli suddenly grabbed him and pointed ahead: “Isn’t that the captain? And Tulisa as well.”
Following her pointing direction, Wu Heng saw Captain Autruck and the second team leader, Tulisa, walking side by side on the street.
Neither was wearing armor and both were dressed casually.
They were standing close together, laughing and chatting.
“Captain…!” Yuli was about to greet them when
Wu Heng suddenly covered her greasy mouth, “Don’t shout!”
“What…? Why are you covering my mouth?”
“Don’t interrupt the captain’s important moment.”
“What important moment?”
Wu Heng gave her a glance and said: “Love. You’ll understand when you’re older.”
Yuli was startled, then she asked somewhat surprised: “Do you mean them…?”
“Can’t you tell?”
“I see it now.” Yuli said in realization.
“Let’s go this way, let’s go back for dinner.”
“Okay!”
The two of them took a slight detour to avoid disturbing the happily conversing captains in the distance, and headed home.
The next day, Zombie World.
Wu Heng stood before a pile of corpses, starting to execute his skill.
The grey energy circle spread out, and the skeletons slowly stood up.
The sensation of his mind going blank struck him again, making Wu Heng feel somewhat fatigued.
He took out a few bottles of potion and gulped them down.
After burping, he continued to cast [Dead Bones Battlefield], transforming all the remaining corpses.
The stacks of bodies have all been transformed into skeletons.
They were densely packed in the open space in the middle of the building.
After Jianyi and Jian’er handed out weapons, Wu Heng roughly counted – there were about two and a half thousand of them.
It’s not a small contingent at all.
If these skeleton soldiers appeared near Black Stone Town,
it would give the folks in the town hall sleepless nights.
His own skeleton army had begun to take shape.
Just as Wu Heng was about to lead the skeletons out for some monster hunting and leveling up,
Xiao Xiao fluttered over from afar and shouted: “Uncle, it’s not good. A whole lot of zombies are coming..”
