The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 337 - 280, Exaggerated Lazy Dog Bomb

Wu Heng wasn't too surprised at Qi Hancai's intention to join.

He had discussed the matter with Li Yahong before.

Qi Hancai's visits to the auto repair shop were becoming more frequent, and she made no secret of her interest in the status of the shop.

Both the auto repair shop and Dongan Village were considered major refuges in the area.

But their strength was worlds apart.

Dongan Village was about hiding from zombies, while the auto repair shop was about hunting them down.

There was simply no comparison.

Before, the people of Dongan Village might not have had any thoughts on the matter, even believing their refuge to be no worse than the auto repair shop.

But after witnessing the combat power of the skeletons, their views were bound to be shaken.

As the zombie hordes kept getting stronger, they would become harder to kill in the future.

To have a better chance of survival, relying on a stronger refuge was the best choice.

"It seems we guessed right," Wu Heng said.

"Definitely. If Ma Zhiyong had seen the way you fight, he'd probably have been depressed for days before coming to join too," Li Yahong said confidently.

Wu Heng smiled, "What do you think?"

"I have no objections, it's not a bad thing for us to gain another superpowered man," Li Yahong continued, "My only worry is that so many people are coming at once, and they're all from one group. If something happens, it could be difficult to deal with."

"How many people do they have?" Wu Heng asked.

"They say over eighty."

"That is quite a few people."

Excluding the prison, the bus station only had a little over fifty survivors. With the other side bringing over eighty people, it was indeed a bit troublesome.

They weren't afraid of a fight.

It was the underhanded scheming that could cause unnecessary trouble that they feared.

"Right," Li Yahong went on, "Wang Chenggang, Qiangzi, and I discussed it and decided to keep Dongan Village going. Qi Hancai will bring some people over for looting and patrolling and gradually, we'll integrate them."

Wu Heng looked at her in surprise, "You understand these things?"

"Is it that difficult?" she replied.

"No, it's just that you're becoming more like a leader," Wu Heng remarked.

Li Yahong smiled, "Not really, it's a collective decision."

This was indeed a solution.

After all, Qi Hancai's side was also developing, and things like solar panels had likely been installed.

It would be a waste to abandon it outright.

Keeping it as a sub-base was a good idea.

Li Yahong continued, "So we're agreed?"

"Yes, I think the decision you all came to is very good," Wu Heng expressed his agreement.

"Then I'll notify them to come over in the next couple of days."

"Good!"

Once Qi Hancai's matter was settled, Li Yahong continued to ask, "Do you have any plans for today?"

"Let's keep clearing the zombies along the road!"

"Sure!"

Li Yahong agreed.

She drove the coach over and continued along the main road with Wu Heng.

...

Four in the afternoon.

The second road section's horde of zombies was drawn by the skeleton army.

They roared and hissed, swarming like a torrent, charging head-on.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!

A dense flurry of arrows covered the sky.

They fell into the zombie horde with clattering impacts.

Followed by the throwing of iron spears and crossbowmen standing on commercial shop platforms.

All kinds of attacks whistled through the air, striking the horde.

Zombies fell in waves,

Trampled to the ground by the undead behind them.

Bang~!

A gunshot rang out.

Lieyi, perched atop a broken-down bus, pulled the trigger.

The bullet whistled through the air.

A fleeing skeleton hound was instantly hit, lost its balance, and tumbled to the ground.

Bang~!

Another shot followed swiftly as the injured mutated dog tried to rise and escape again but was hit once more and didn't get up.

Another mutated dog glanced back,

And fled even more desperately.

Bang bang~!

Two more shots rang out.

The second mutated dog fell instantly and remained down.

Wu Heng glanced at the battlefield and said directly, "Speed it up."

Mutated skeletons charged into the zombie crowd.

The zombies were scattered in an instant as the skeleton ranks began to advance, wiping out all the zombies attracted by the mutated skeletons.

The fight was soon over.

The skeletons began to clean up the battlefield.

The corpses of the two mutated dogs were dragged by their tails to Wu Heng's feet by 'Juye'.

It had been a while since he had seen skeleton hounds.

Wu Heng examined the corpses and released [Bone Manipulation Skill].

The flesh stripped away, leaving two skeletons shaped like lions to stand up.

[Skeleton Hunting Dog (Level 6)]

Level 6.

It seemed the mutated dogs were also improving.

He motioned for the two skeleton hounds to stand aside, used a stick to pick out the corpse cores from the flesh, and packed them away.

He handed them to Li Yahong, "Take these to the alchemy skeleton."

"Okay!"

After dealing with the mutated dogs, the two waited beside the rest until the big clean-up was done.

Wu Heng continued to release [Corpse Battlefield], adding a large number of skeletons to the skeleton ranks.

As it was getting late,

They decided not to continue clearing.

Boarding the coach, they headed back.

Upon returning to the bus station, Li Yahong took Wu Heng to see the area where the skeleton blacksmith was located, which now had a furnace built.

Li Yahong joined the others for dinner in the cafeteria, and Wu Heng returned to Gold and Silver Island.

In this world, iron was everywhere.

And the looting team had added another task, which was to gather various iron objects.

As dusk approached,

Li Yahong joined the others for dinner in the cafeteria, and Wu Heng returned to Gold and Silver Island.

...

When night fell.

Mini lay on the bed, her legs hanging over his shoulders, her words interspersed with breaks, "Why wear a belt, it looks... looks so weird, and it's a bit uncomfortable."

"It's a health belt, good for the body," Wu Heng replied softly.

Mini's eyes were somewhat hazy as she mumbled, "Why bother with health now, it's not like we're short on time."

"Of course, some things need to be taken seriously," Wu Heng said.

"It's so ugly, not at all... Ow~!"

Mini wanted to speak again, but her mouth was sealed shut.

Her eyes tight shut, her arms tightly wrapped around the other's neck.

The gently swaying bed woke Andre Willow, who opened her eyes.

"You're still at it... Ah~!" As Andre Willow was about to turn to one side, a hand climbed over her chest.

She hurriedly said, "Master, I have to go to the guild tomorrow!"

...

The next day.

Wu Heng followed her to the guild and took a look.

Having confirmed there was nothing for him to do, he returned home and headed for the Zombie World.

It had rained a little last night here.

The air was moist, and the ground was full of puddles.

Wu Heng stood at the door for a while, Li Yahong hadn't come over yet.

Qiangzi was the first to run over.

He rushed over and said, "King, we have a breakthrough!"

"Oh?" Wu Heng was puzzled.

Qiangzi took a few heavy breaths and pulled out two solid bullets the size of bullets from his pocket.

"Lazy Dog Bomb," Qiangzi said.

"So soon?"

He had just talked to Qiangzi about the Lazy Dog Bomb yesterday, and they were already made by this morning?

This speed was much faster than that of other weapons.

"It's not difficult, just make a mold, pour in molten iron, and wait for it to solidify," Qiangzi explained straightforwardly.

Wu Heng thought about it and felt it made sense.

He picked one up and weighed it in his hand; it felt almost as heavy as a gold coin.

"How much does it weigh?" Wu Heng asked.

"27 grams, if you want to reduce the weight further, we can make it smaller."

A gold coin weighed 30 grams, indeed very close.

The Flying Dragon could carry an adult at high speed in the air.

Not accounting for the equipment and Thunder Rolls carried by pirates at that time, just by the weight itself, and estimating at 120 jin (60 kg).

It's roughly equivalent to two thousand of these solid munitions.

The number seemed quite sufficient.

"How many did you make?" Wu Heng asked.

"Over a thousand," Qiangzi replied.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then said, "Have everyone take the ammunition with them, let's go test it."

"Alright!"

Wu Heng led Qiangzi towards the warehouse. At this time, Li Yahong also came over.

Seeing the two, she asked, "Where are you going?"

"We're off to clear out zombies."

"Oh, okay!"

Li Yahong drove the minibus, while Qiangzi drove a military truck to haul the Skeleton Flying Dragon.

They headed toward the main road together.

...

Grrr~!

On the main road into the city.

Dense zombies began to gather, their piercing howls echoing through the entire area.

Hordes of the dead converged from both sides towards the middle, filling the street completely, swarming towards them in dark waves.

Wu Heng glanced at the rapidly approaching horde.

He turned his head to see Qiangzi, sweating profusely, still busy loading the ammunition into the Flying Dragon's chest cavity.

Qiangzi and the others were quite committed, having rigged up a honeycomb-shaped chamber out of plastic.

They were busy securing it with snaps onto the Skeleton Flying Dragon's spine and ribs.

The louder the zombies roared, the more sweat appeared on their foreheads.

It seemed like there was an issue with the size of some parts.

"How much longer?"

"Almost done."

Qiangzi took off his belt and used it in place of a broken snap, securing it to the spine.

He tested the rigidity by letting his body hang.

Wiping his forehead, he said, "All set."

Wu Heng nodded, pointed at the shortest Skeleton Warrior nearby and instructed, "Lay down your sword and armor, and get on the back of the bone dragon."

The Skeleton Warrior discarded its weapons and armor and climbed directly onto the back of the bone dragon.

Gripping the reins, they had prepared earlier.

Wu Heng ordered the Skeleton Warrior, "Fly over the horde and open these chambers."

After all the preparations were complete.

Wu Heng patted the bone dragon, "Take off, and fly a bit higher."

The Skeleton Flying Dragon pushed off with its feet, its entire body instantly soaring into the sky.

It seemed the weight of the ammunition in its chest didn't affect its flight.

...

The silhouette of the Skeleton Flying Dragon continued to ascend until it was only as big as a matchbox.

Then, it began to fly forward along the main road. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon reaching the airspace over the horde.

Suddenly, a dense shower of black dots rained down from above.

It wasn't long before they plunged into the middle of the horde.

Boom, boom, boom~!

Thunderous sounds erupted, like a violent rainstorm.

In an instant, echoing like thunder, debris and glass scattering everywhere, each Iron Bomb kicking up dust and smoke two or three meters high.

Wu Heng and the others, who were trailing behind the Skeleton, were startled and crouched down to avoid being hit.

In shock, they looked forward.

The entire street was shrouded in dust.

Obscuring the view.

[Experience +1.]

[Skeleton Flying Dragon, Experience +1.]

[Experience +1.]

[Skeleton Flying Dragon…]

[Experience…]

A swarm of experience points appeared.

Wu Heng's eyes widened as he stared at the dust-shrouded front.

"Is it really that effective?"
