MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 14, Letter of Appointment

Five or six zombies rushed into the corridor, pushing and shoving.

 But what greeted them were falling kitchen knives.

 The ferocious zombie was instantly knocked to the ground and never got up again.

 The corridor door was closed again, cutting off the outside world.

Wu Heng walked down from behind the skeletons and began to release the bone-slaking technique, and the six skeletons stood up.

 Find a kitchen knife for the skeleton and looked at the sky. It was already dusk.

 Joining professionals and learning skills today took up time during the day.

It's a bit risky to go out and kill zombies again, so let's wait until tomorrow.

 Return to Blackstone Town, eat, practice spear, and sleep.

 …

 The next day.

Wu Heng got up early. Life without video games made him energetic.

 After breakfast, we went directly to the career hall.

 There were not many people here this morning.

Wu Heng came to the counter and asked: "Help me take a look. Is the commission issued ready?"

“Sir, please show me the entrusted note.”

Take out the receipt and hand it over, and the staff will start checking the progress based on the number on it.

 “The commission has been completed, you need to pay another 15 silver and 32 copper.”

 It’s finally done.

 But the price is also ridiculously high.

　　15 silver is enough to buy three ordinary iron swords.

 But there was no hesitation, and he immediately paid the balance, and handed over the medicine and a test receipt.

  【Special antidote】

  (Description: A potion made for fixed toxins.)

 Put away the antidote and return to your residence quickly.

 Zombie world.

 Go to the top of the building, take out the medicine and paper and check it out.

Wu Heng doesn’t understand the alchemy of this world.

However, there are still many magical aspects to the medicinal effects of alchemical potions. Even in the modern world with advanced technology, it is difficult for medicines produced to achieve immediate effects.

If the modern world hadn't become like this, you would definitely be able to make a lot of money by opening a pharmacy company.

 In addition to the medicine, there is also a sheet given.

 On the paper sheet, the test results of the corpse core and the ingredients for dispensing the medicine are written.

 These are all requests put forward by Wu Heng in the commission.

During the test, neurotoxins, corpse toxins and other toxic substances were mentioned. As for the use of the corpse core, it was suggested that it be an alchemy material, and there was no mention of direct consumption.

 As for the ingredients of the antidote, they have complicated names, and they are not even recognizable.

　　After a brief glance, he put it away directly.

 Take out the remaining ‘corpse core’ and put the antidote aside.

This corpse core has been in my hand for a few days. Fortunately, it doesn't smell bad.

 Otherwise, your money will be wasted.

 After disinfecting it with white wine, he raised his head and swallowed it without hesitation.

 At first I didn’t feel anything.

　　【Constitution +2, Strength +1, Agility +2.】

 The system prompt appears instantly.

Before Wu Heng could be happy, a burning sensation spread from his abdomen to his whole body.

 Bluish-purple blood vessels began to appear on the arms and neck, and at the same time the burning sensation turned into a heart-piercing sting.

 “Grass! It’s really poisonous.”

Wave!

 Open the antidote and pour it directly into your belly in one breath.

 Drinking the medicinal solution, the pain eased, and the purple blood vessels spreading on the body began to disappear little by little.

 Finally disappeared.

About five or six minutes later, Wu Heng was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.

　　Huh~!

“Thankfully I customized the antidote, otherwise I might have killed myself.”

 When the pain completely disappears and the mind is clear, unconcealable joy will arise in my heart.

  Five more attributes added.

 In terms of upgrading, it has been upgraded by two and a half levels.

 【Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 13, Constitution 15, Intelligence 16, Perception 10, Charisma 13.】

Although attribute points are added to physique, strength and agility, the attributes can be directly reflected in the physical state, and any high level is beneficial.

And not only intelligence is useful to mages.

 Happy for a while and calmed down a little.

 Take out the potion formula and check it again.

“Is that so, as long as I continue to absorb the corpse core, my attributes can still be improved..."

If this conjecture is correct, then your attributes will be improved without limit.

Even if the attribute increase brought by upgrading is not high, the attributes can still be improved through corpse cores.

 The two can complement each other.

 After resting for a while, I feel that there is no strange feeling in my body.

 Continue to get up and direct the skeleton to start today's leveling operation.

　One night passed, and three more zombies were wandering around in the clean downstairs. I don’t know where they came from.

 Open the stair door and directly give the order, "Attack."

 The next second, a group of skeletons like a long dragon poured out of the corridor.

 Pounce on the zombies outside.

The zombies were knocked to the ground by the crowded group of skeletons. Before they could raise their heads, countless kitchen knives and hammers fell down, smashing them into a puddle of mud.

 The movement here also attracted the attention of the zombies nearby.

　　He rushed over from the opened corridor and from behind the building.

 “Attack!” Wu Heng also walked out of the corridor and shouted an order.

The skeleton warriors all raised their kitchen knives and rushed towards the zombies.

 The roaring and slashing sounds were one continuous sound.   Bang bang bang~ clatter!

The glass of the building in front was broken one after another, and zombies fell from the broken windows upstairs.

　　The taller ones were smashed into pieces, while the shorter ones were crawling forward with broken lower limbs.

"so much?"

 Zombies rushed out from various places and rushed towards the skeleton camp.

Although it was still within the range of the skeletons, it was still much more than what I estimated from the top of the building.

 Skeleton dogs would jump out of the skeleton camp from time to time, knock down one or two zombies, bite their necks and shake their heads wildly.

When the zombies came around, they immediately jumped back behind the skeleton, not forgetting to swing their waists at the skeleton twice.

 The meaning of ridicule and provocation is very strong.

Wu Heng stood behind the skeleton, observing the scene while releasing the Bone Slave Technique.

  To replenish the lost number of skeletons.

There were fewer and fewer of them, and in the end there were only a few scattered ones left, as well as the zombies who jumped off the building and broke their legs, still insisting on crawling this way.

 “Go, kill those paralyzed ones.” Wu Heng ordered to the skeleton dogs.

The skeleton dog swung its tail and jumped directly out of the group of skeletons, killing the zombies crawling on the ground one by one.

Soon, there were thirty or forty zombie corpses piled downstairs.

 Let the skeletons collect all the corpses and pile them into a hill.

Wu Heng began to release the bone service technique.

 Summon a few and rest for a while to avoid excessive mental exhaustion.

 He didn't want to feel that brain-churning feeling again.

 Gradually the sky became dark again.

 Looking at the remaining corpses that had not been transformed, I gave up the idea of ​​transforming them overnight.

 Can't float, just stay and develop.

 …

 Back to Blackstone Town, Wu Heng had dinner at the tavern.

 On the way, I also listened to some information discussed by the drinkers.

Which brothel has a discount? The price of the blacksmith shop has increased because there is not enough ore.

 This is the most effective way for him to understand the world.

Ask others, sometimes you will attract attention, and you can also get a lot of useful information by listening to others bragging.

 After eating and drinking, we started walking towards our residence.

 I feel quite satisfied.

 “It’s changed!”

 Good things have happened one after another in the past two days, and I feel like my luck has exploded.

 Everything is going smoothly and the future is promising.

 “You must survive, improve your attributes, and increase the number of skeletons.” Wu Heng emphasized.

 Walked quickly towards his residence.

However, as soon as he turned into the alley where he lived, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

 Quickly retreat out of the alley and open the holster.

 At the door of his house, three figures stood.

There is a man and a woman, and there is another one who is wrapped in a black cloak. It is not clear whether he is a man or a woman.

 The wanted criminal has come for revenge? It's not dark yet!

Wu Heng’s eyes were alert.

The three people in the alley also noticed the movement, and one of them said: "Wu Heng?"

“Guys, what’s the matter?”

"The letter of appointment from this department has been issued. The deacon asked me to send it to you, as well as your skeleton."

As he spoke, one of them pulled down the hood of the figure behind him, revealing a skeleton warrior with soul fire burning in his eyes.

A slight trace on the mandible proved to be the wanted criminal that Wu Heng killed.

"Sorry, please come in." Wu Heng apologized, opened the door and invited the two of them into the house.

　In addition to his own skeleton, a total of two people came.

 One man and one woman.

The man is probably in his forties, with brown hair pulled back, a serious and resolute face, wearing silver armor, and a long sword hanging on his waist.

 The right chest of the silver armor bears the emblem of the Professionals Association.

The other person is a young woman with long blond hair, three-dimensional and exquisite facial features, a tall figure, brown leather armor on her upper body, slim leather trousers on her lower body, and long and straight legs.

　　It gives people a feeling of being smart and capable.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes kept looking around.

“Please sit down.” Wu Heng motioned for the two of them to sit down, opened a bottle of iced black tea and poured a cup for each of them.

 After he also sat down, the man took out something.

He placed them one by one on the wooden table and said: "My name is Altluk, the captain of the fourth team stationed in Blackstone Town. This is the member 'Kavina'."

 The woman nodded.

 “Well, good afternoon, both of you.”

The middle-aged captain put the items in his hands on the table one by one and said: "This is the appointment letter and the armor issued by the association. Keep it carefully. The armor is just a welfare reward and is not mandatory to wear."

There are also armor rewards, which is really good.

The other party continued: "According to the allocation by the Blackstone Town Professionals Association, you will be a member of the fourth team from now on."

Wu Heng understood why these two people came.

 It turns out that teams have been divided.

“Okay, are there only three people in our team?” Wu Heng asked curiously.

"The professional team is between three and five people. Our team is a new one. Currently there are only three of us."

 The professional team is mainly responsible for professional rescue and assisting local guards.

 There won’t be as many people as a patrol.

 If the number of people is too large, it will cause local resistance.

The captain continued: "We have to carry out a mission tomorrow. We will set off early in the morning and gather at the West City Gate. Don't be late."

Wu Heng was stunned, "So fast?"

   Thanks to ‘Angels’ Trail’ for the 500 reward.
