The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 67, Infighting Among the Survivors.

Everyone was staring, terrified, at the phantom floating in the air.

They never imagined that something like a ghost would suddenly appear at this time.

And it could even talk.

The gold chain-wearing man, who had been so aggressive just moments ago, declaring that he wanted to have a blast before he died, sat on the ground, continuously moving backward.

With a loud crash, he bumped into a shelf behind him, stopping his movements.

The nurses on the other side were also holding their mouths tightly, preventing themselves from making any noise.

The whole storeroom suddenly fell silent.

“Damnit, there are really ghosts in this world.” The gold chain-wearing man said, supporting himself up by the cardboard box. He moved next to another security guard.

The three groups of people, in the tight space of the storeroom, formed a triangle of opposition.

The nurses huddled together, crouching in the southeast corner, the gold chain man and the security guard stood in the northeast corner, but Xiao Xiao floated near the west.

Each kept a distance from the others, their eyes filled with caution.

“What are you doing?” Xiao Xiao felt that the atmosphere wasn’t right and asked curiously.

“What are you?” The gold chain man asked, his hand holding the scalpel was already soaked with sweat.

Xiao Xiao looked at him and said, “I’m Xiao Xiao, my family owns the Fuheng Silver Store.”

“Oh.” The man casually responded. Then he immediately stepped forward and the scalpel in his hand suddenly stabbed at the phantom.

The scalpel pierced through the phantom like a balloon, causing it to disperse abruptly.

The man with the gold chain smiled, turned around, and shouted, “This is a projection they made. Don’t be fooled. Act directly. You make the first move.” “Right.” The security guard glanced at the phantom and then directly pounced on it.

“Fight them.” The doctor across the room shouted, leading the nurses to rush forward.

Xiao Xiao’s figure regrouped aside.

Meanwhile, the two parties were already wrestling together.

Clang-!

Bang bang bang-!

The wrestling parties knocked over the shelves on both sides, scattering a large pile of items. Glass medicine bottles fell onto the floor, creating a continuous sound of shattering.

Roar-!

From the corridor outside the door came the roar of a zombie.

More and more footsteps began to gather towards them, pounding on the tightly closed door and windows with force.

Both parties were startled.

The same thought raised in their minds.

We’re done for!

“Hang in there, I’ll go get my uncles to save you.” Xiao Xiao shouted, then turned and phased through the wall to leave.

Outside the hospital,

The skeleton squad remained unmoved.

A few zombies that rushed over were killed one by one by the group of skeletons.

“How did you hear the radio message?” Wu Heng looked towards LiYahong. He discovered the radio that received the message when he inspected the bus. He was also curious about how other people received messages. This was something he didn’t really understand.

Li Yahong replied, “My father liked to modify his old car, he installed a radio in it, so he could listen to broadcasts.”

“You heard the distress message from him on the car radio?”

“Yeah, with the world being like this, everyone is trying to establish contact with the outside world, waiting for rescue, or hoping to find if there were people who survived.” Li Yahong continued.

It was lucky to survive, but simply clinging on was also a kind of torture.

“It will get better.” Wu Heng reassured softly.

At that moment, Xiao came floating in from a distance, shouting, “Uncle, I found survivors. They are fighting, and there are lots of zombies outside.” Wu Heng and Li Yahong were both stunned.

They immediately understood what Xiao Xiao meant.

The survivors were fighting among themselves.

“Let me see!” Wu Heng gestured, and Xiao Xiao directly entered his body.

The scene appeared in his mind.

First, the group of zombies outside the hospital building.

There were two or three hundred zombies outside the building alone, and two mutated dogs could be seen among them.

Once the fight started, the numbers could only multiply.

Just like what Wu Heng saw from afar.

Ordinary zombies and mutated dogs did not engage in battle, but maintained a peaceful coexistence.

To him, their relationship seemed similar to that between a skeleton and a skeleton dog.

This was not a good sign.

Then, Xiao Xiao’s point of view became somewhat chaotic. She went straight into the hospital building, passing swiftly through its walls. Zombies were visible as they wandered the corridors and inhabited the rooms.

At some unspecified floor, she caught a glimpse of survivors.

The sudden appearance of Xiao Xiao startled them.

Shortly after, the survivors began to fight, which attracted the attention of the zombies.

Even if he were to lead his troops into the building now, it would take some time. By then, it was likely that everyone would already be dead.

“What’s going on?” Li Yahong hesitated before cautiously asking a question.

Along the way, she found the man before her not as intimidating as she thought.

At least, he wasn’t as terrifying as she had imagined.

“A few survivors started fighting and attracted the attention of zombies. It seems unlikely they will survive,” Wu Heng replied.

“This…,” Li Yahong wanted to say something, but couldn’t.

What a fate these people have.

The Skeleton Army had already reached the hospital’s door, and they chose this moment for internal strife.

After enduring for so long, they fell just one step short of survival.

Sigh-!

She exhaled, feeling helpless.

Wu Heng released Xiao Xiao, instructing her to fly into the sky for a lookout.

Then, he directed the skeletons to cautiously advance a certain distance before beginning to implement his strategy.

Indeed, there were quite a number of zombies inside the hospital.

Charging in directly would result in some losses, so a simple plan was needed.

He found a building and positioned his troops against its wall, their spears pointed forward.

Once preparations were complete, he turned to Basen and said, “Basen, lure those zombies here, but be careful.”

Basen squeezed out of the skeleton crowd and walked towards one of them.

Very quickly, there were sounds of hurried footsteps and the roaring of zombies.

Trailing behind Basen was a large crowd of zombies.

Howling as they rushed forward, their forms grotesque.

Wu Heng gripped his magic wand, prepared for battle, while Li Yahong’s face turned pale, her legs involuntarily trembling.

Reaching close proximity, Basen swiftly pushed his way into the mob of skeletons, quickly making his way to the back.

Raising his magic wand, Wu Heng released the Grease Skill instantly, covering the ground with sticky grease.

Throwing out a flammable object, a large fire blocked the two factions with a whoosh.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-!

The zombies were drowned in the sea of fire.

However, very soon, zombies engulfed in flames charged out and impaled themselves on the arranged spears.

More and more zombies rushed out, pouncing on the skeletons.

The two sides immediately clashed.

The noise of battle, the sound of chopping and slashing, the crackling of burning fire, filled the entire area.

The sounds of fighting, in turn, attracted even more zombies to converge here. Endlessly they came.

After casting a Witchcraft Arrow, out of the corner of Wu Heng’s eye, he saw two mutated dogs. They dragged away a skeleton from the team’s flank. Violently shaking their heads, they tore the skeleton warriors to shreds. Leaving a pile of white bones behind.

Then they continued, seizing the next opportunity. Catching the skeletons off guard, they rushed forward, grabbed hold of a skeleton and fiercely yanked it out.

They resumed their frenzied biting.

“It’s you guys I’ve been looking for.”

The purpose of Wu Heng’s trip was the mutated zombies. He had been worried that the two mutated dogs would run away as soon as the battle began. Glancing at the few skeleton dogs and cats around, he said, “Go, kill those zombie dogs and bring back their corpses.”

Four dogs and a cat, dashed out of the mass of skeletons.

The mutated dog that was in the distance, tearing apart a skeleton, heard the approaching footsteps. It lifted its head just in time to see the skeleton dogs pouncing on it.

Before it could react, the skeleton dogs had knocked it down and they began biting each other.

Tangled into a ball.
