The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 95: Chapter 94, Alchemy Dwarves l

Hearing Li Yahong’s scream, Wu Heng and his skeleton hurried up to the second floor.

They could hear the sounds of battle from afar.

Wu Heng gestured to the back, and Basen and Bawudong hurriedly rushed in. Inside the room, Jianyi and Jian’er were locked in combat with two zombies. The zombies, one male and one female, were both dressed in tops, but wore nothing underneath.

Seeing that they were just common zombies, Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Jianyi and Jian’er, being higher in level, had left their sword marks on the zombies.

With swift slashes, they swiftly took down the zombies.

“I didn’t mean to scream, but they just lunged at me as soon as I opened the door, it really gave me a scare.” Li Yahong explained.

“It’s okay, did you find the key?”

“No!”

Wu Heng glanced at the zombies on the ground.

After thinking about it, he cast the spell [Communicate with the dead] on the middle-aged male zombie.

The lying corpse suddenly sat upright.

Its head turned to look at the two of them, its eyes gray-white.

Thupthup thup-1

Li Yahong, scared witless, retreated several steps, her face turning pale.

Wu Heng waved his hand at her, signaling her not to be afraid, then looked at the sitting zombie, asking, “Where’s the key for the vehicle downstairs?” It was his first-time attempting to converse with a zombie.

Whether the false consciousness created by the necromancy magic would work on a zombie, he wasn’t quite sure.

His mind was somewhat uneasy.

After waiting for a moment, the zombie answered, “In the management mobilization room on the innermost part of the third floor.”

Wu Heng nodded. The zombie could still speak.

He continued to ask, “Are all the vehicles parked downstairs?”

“Yes.”

“You guys…”

Boom-!

As it answered the second question, the male zombie’s body fell back down, becoming motionless once again.

That halted Wu Heng’s third question midway.

Well, great, it seems a zombie can only answer two questions.

That was pretty quick.

“Uncle, uncle, I found it, on the third floor….”

Xiao Xiao floated in.

Wu Heng didn’t mention the zombie matter, replying, “Oh, really? That’s impressive!”

“Hehe.of course.”

“Show the way, we’ll go get the key.”

“This way.” Xiao Xiao floated in front leading the way, as Wu Heng, trailed behind her up the stairs with the skeleton.

The entire building, only the second floor had two zombies, which were unexpectedly encountered by Li Yahong.

They found the key in a room on the inner side, and then headed back down. Seeing Wu Heng and Li Yahong emerge, several survivors came to greet them. Wu Heng asked, “Can all of you drive?”

They nodded.

“Can anybody drive a forklift?”

The others shook their heads.

Li Yahong said, “I can, but I’m not very skilled.”

“Okay, you few drive the trucks and bus, Li Yahong, you drive a forklift, the remaining forklift should be loaded up on a truck and brought back,” Wu Heng handed out keys to them all.

The forklift was loaded up onto the back of a truck.

Everyone else also got their keys.

They tried to start the vehicles, then carefully got them moving.

Wu Heng, leading the skeleton, followed by foot.

The driving skills of the few were rather limited, and despite being careful, they still bumped into things occasionally.

This attracted some zombies, which were dispatched by the skeleton squad.

Li Yahong drove the forklift, moving all the abandoned vehicles blocking the road out of their way.

The vehicles behind her carefully passed, moving slowly along the road.

The journey back took even longer because of the addition of these vehicles.

They returned to the auto repair shop.

Wu Heng said, “I’ll leave the vehicles to you. Modify them and make contact with the prison.”

“Alright!” Li Yahong nodded.

And then she had the vehicles driven to the gate of the auto repair shop.

She also introduced the new members to the team.

Wu Heng returned to the housing complex and had the skeletons pile up the corpses to one side. He then started using [Dead Bones Battlefield] to convert the corpses.

A large number of skeletons rose and joined the ranks.

While outdoors, he barely used the [Dead Bones Battlefield] spell which consumed a large amount of mental energy all at once.

Given the unpredictable circumstances outside, it could affect his judgement and response.

After everything was almost done.

He returned to Black Stone Town.

Black Stone Town, Black Market.

Accompanied by Basen, Wu Heng paid the entrance fee and entered the black market.

The death of the Necromancer and Yazde, the administrator, had no impact on the place.

The place still contained a chain of stalls and people hooded in black.

Not bothering to wander, they went straight up to the second floor.

After showing their emblem, they were led into a separate room.

The friendly staff with the forked beard asked with a smile, “Dear guest, how may I assist you?”

“Could you check to see if the request I posted has been fulfilled?”

“Sure, just a moment.”

Not long after, the man known as Bapie Hu came back.

Behind him, two brawny men were carrying a half-human-high coffin.

“Sir, your request has been completed.”

Though he merely inquired, he didn’t expect it to be really done.

It seemed that after the death of the Necromancer, Black Stone Town was less strict about transporting corpses from surrounding areas.

“Abutrost, of the Dwarves race, died of old age, was an llth-level Alchemist specializing in ‘Potion Making.'”

The middle-aged Bapie Hu, quietly introduced the information of the person inside the coffin.

After he finished speaking, he lightly clapped his hands, and the strong men standing beside him opened the coffin lid.

Wu Heng stepped forward for a look, inside was a body wrapped in linen cloth, extremely skinny, it seemed like a child lying there.

But the cause of death was old age, it couldn’t be a child.

“Sir, does this meet your requirements?” The man Bapie Hu continued to ask.

Wu Heng nodded, “Yes, it’s quite good, I’m very satisfied.”

When he was posting the request, he didn’t specify any conditions like race or age, the only requirement was a high-level Alchemist.

Nothing else mattered.

“Very well, sir, you need to pay the balance of 1200 silver coins.” The man continued.

Wu Heng nodded, took out a 30-gram gold bar, and a bag of silver coins.

The middle-aged man tested the gold bar, confirmed that it was gold of sufficient weight, and then smiled and said, “The request is completed, sir.” Wu Heng nodded.

He then took out a receipt with a snakehead stamp on it and handed it to the man.

He said, “Check what’s stored in here?”

“Sure, just a moment, please.” The man took the receipt and went out.

This receipt was left by ‘Yazde’. This was a good opportunity to see what he had stored.

Soon, the middle-aged man returned, holding a black wooden box in his hand. He placed the wooden box on the table, the other people left the room, and Wu Heng opened the box to look inside.

On top was a deed to a house, and a badge that looked like an eye.

Below were silver coins, quite a substantial amount.

The house was not in Black Stone Town, but in a city called ‘Lundham’, a piece of real estate that had been notarized.

It seemed that it was Yazde’s house in another place.

Now it was all his.

He looked at the badge. He didn’t know what power it represented.

But he remembered that Yazde had said that he was a member of some kind of eye-centered church, so it should be related to that.

There was nothing else.

After all, the things ‘Yazde’ did involved some risk. The money stored here was probably a safeguard just in case.

In case something went wrong, he could take the money and run at any time.

After confirming that there was nothing else, Wu Heng put the coffin and the money box into the Space Ring, and left directly down the stairs.

After the middle-aged man Bapie Hu reminded him not to forget his things, he also waved goodbye.

Wu Heng descended the stairs, took a turn around the black market stalls, then left the black market, and got into a carriage to return to Black Stone Town.

Back in the crowded area.

Entering the alley, he saw that Yuli was walking out.

“Wu Heng, where have you been?” Yuli asked, her hands on her hips.

“I went to the business street. Did you come to find me?” Wu Heng entered the alley, stood at the door, and opened it.

“Hmm, I came to see you, I’m the only one who cares about you in Black Stone Town.” Yuli went into the house quite naturally, and sat down at the dining table.

Yuli and Wu Heng are quite similar.

Both are outsiders, and neither has any friends.

Of course, another important reason is coming here to eat.

Wu Heng glanced at her and asked, “Are you still eating instant noodles?”

“And that sour noodle.”

Wu Heng nodded, started boiling water in preparation, and asked casually, “Anything new at the guild these days?”

Yuli thought for a moment and said, “A team leader left. His team members found a letter at his residence.”

Wu Heng was startled, Anel left?

It seemed that in their competition, Anel felt that he had no chance of winning and chose to leave.

“What was in the letter?”

Yuli leaned on her chin and said, “From what I heard, Yazde’s steward died, and he no longer wanted to be the team leader of team one. Something like that; I haven’t seen the actual content.”

“So now team one has no leader!”

“Mmm, the guild is a mess right now, my aunt is so busy.”

For the Professional Association of Black Stone Town, this was not a small matter.

The steward died, and the leader of team one left without a word.

The guild’s organization was the only thing holding things together. If this were a mercenary group or gang, there would already be infighting or a divide in the property.

Wu Heng brought the hot-and-sour noodles over, along with some other snacks, and asked, “Where did Anel go?”

“I don’t know.”

“Is he a local? Where is his hometown?”

She took a slurping bite of her noodles-,”How would I know? Are you interested in him?”

“Idiot-!”

“What do you mean? Are you insulting me?”

After dinner, Yuli patted her round belly, which was almost as big as her chest.

Nothing like her aunt at all.

After chatting for a bit, Yuli got up to go home.

Wu Heng stood at the alley entrance and waved goodbye to her.

After Yuli left, Wu Heng quickly cleaned up the dining table.

He locked the door, opened a boundary door, and returned to the Zombie World.

He took the coffin out of the Space Ring.
