MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

 Chapter 362, Ordinary Evolved Zombies

Wu Heng looked at the two standing skeletons and frowned slightly.

 The attendants are all at level 12.

The status of this special inspection envoy is not low.

 Normally speaking, a resident deacon in a remote area with a stable political power would only be at level 12.

 Here, he is just a servant.

 After a brief glance, he set his sights on the skeleton mage.

 【Skeleton Mage (Level 15)】

  【Level: 15】

 【Attributes: Constitution 27, Strength 15, Agility 17, Intelligence 37, Perception 28, Charisma 20.】

  【Characteristics: Empty Skeleton, Advanced Soul, Magical Senses, Conjuration Scholar, Master Spellcaster, Source Law Theory. 】

 The effect provided does not seem to be too high.

Wu Heng continued to take out two space rings and began to examine them.

 Your own spine staff, the necromantic magic effect is +23%, and it also provides two spells.

 The next one is the magic robe [energy-gathering robe], which can reduce the mental energy consumption when casting spells.

 There is only one ‘life-sustaining spell’.

  (Description: A prop etched with insulation text, which can isolate the outward propagation of sound.)

 The shape of the soundproof kettle is more like a spiral vase.

 After all, I got mine in exchange for a third-level meritorious service, so the level is close to that of a rare item.

[Source Law Theory]: You understand the commonalities between the roots of magic and the essence of magic in basic theory, and can thus fully understand everything from the perspective of arcane magic (all skills you have learned, the spell level is increased by one level, and the spells of this faction are decrease greatly.)

 The skill level has been learned and the spell level is increased by one level.

　　Not only Kalema’s, but the Tub Attendant also has a space ring.

 Going out in a carriage, accompanied by escorts and attendants, it is obviously the configuration of an aristocratic gentleman.

 …

Various daily necessities, water, food, extra weapons and armors, and money bags full of coins.

The conjuring wooden staff in front of him was etched with two runes that increased the effect, and the spell effect only increased by 17%.

In terms of attributes, it is the standard template of a mage. It has high intelligence, perception and constitution are the second highest attributes, while strength and agility are its own shortcomings.

Only the magic of the Necromancer faction is left, and the life-sustaining magic belongs to the Necromancer faction.

 Large complex runes are etched on it.

 This piece should be a spare one, I already have one on me.

 Wu Heng mainly focused on "Yuanfa Lun".

　　Then 【Sincerity Clay Doll】looks directly into the eyes of the clay doll and it will tell the truth.

Then, Wu Heng continued to check Kalema’s space ring.

[Feats: Cloth Armor Specialization (Advanced), Staff Specialization (Advanced), Dagger Specialization (Intermediate), Arcane Echo, Soul Lore, Haunting Lore, Untiring Concentration, Spell Craftsmanship. 】

Wu Heng frowned and looked at the mage's panel.

 Skills are a bit miserable.

 First he opened the tub attendant's ring and took a look at it.

There was nothing in it, just two money bags of gold coins, and a gold ring with an eye pattern on it.

Of course, the position of a mage is not a profession that relies on strength.

 Look at the [Soundproof Pot] first.

 Not to mention the shape, props with this kind of sound insulation effect are rare on the market.

 [Soundproof Pot][Spell Wooden Staff][Energy-Gathering Robe][Sincerity Clay Doll (Rare Object)][Space Ring (5 cubic meters)].

"From now on, you will be called the attendant of the tub, and you will also be called Kalema." Wu Heng named the two skeletons, then moved them aside and began to put on their original armor.

 Continue to look down.

 After the mage class is converted into undead, the skills of all factions will disappear.

 In terms of characteristics, there are conjuration scholars, represented by mages of the conjuration school.

 In addition to some daily items that are not available, there are quite a few magic props inside.

  All other skills have not been retained.

The last one was also a space ring, Wu Heng continued to mentally explore it.

 It seems that Kalema himself is really no ordinary person.

  【Spell Wooden Staff】

  (Description: A magic prop made of special wood roots, etched with arcane reflux, light of conjuration, and magic effect of the conjuration faction +17%.)

 A magic wand.

  【Skill: Life-sustaining technique. 】

  【Soundproof pot】

 A secret order?

This is not the first time Wu Heng has seen this kind of ring.

 Generally, members of the Esoteric Order will have one like this to prove their identity.

 Calema is a member of the Esoteric Order?

 Impossible, how could the association allow a person from the Esoteric Order to be the special inspection envoy?

 Then, Wu Heng thought of another person.

 The captain whom Kalema killed.

 “This ring is his!”

 In other words, the whole thing this time was once again caused by the secret cult.

Just like a dog-skin plaster, people keep coming to trouble him, and he can't kill them all.

Furthermore, the location of the secret order headquarters has not yet been found.

 “Write a letter to Lilith? Ask her to intensify her attack on the Secret Order?”

 “For what reason? Just making up one and being found out can easily destroy the trust established between each other.”

Wu Heng was thinking as he put away all the props he took out.

 After all the items have been put away.

 Go back with the two skeletons.

 …

 Take Kalema back to the dormitory.

Wu Heng took out all his necromancy books and said, "You don't have to do anything, just read here and learn these skills as soon as possible."

Skeleton Kalema sat down at the desk, took out a book of Weakening Ray and opened it.

Wu Heng closed it again and took out the [Bone Slave Technique], "Read this book first!"

  Kalema took over the [Bone Spelling Technique] and began to look through it carefully.

 With Kalema's intelligence and reaching level 15, it shouldn't be difficult to learn these skills.

 It’s just a matter of sooner or later.

 Wait until the arrangements are made here.

Wu Heng looked at the time.

It was still quite early, so he took out his walkie-talkie and called Qi Hancai directly.

 Walk out of the dormitory, go downstairs and just walk to the door.

 Qi Hancai rushed over from outside.

 “What are your orders?” Qi Hancai stood aside.

Wu Heng asked directly: "How are the preparations for cleaning up the central square?"

"No problem. I have accumulated a lot of those solid iron bullets in the past few days. Based on each flying dragon carrying two thousand, it can be thrown back and forth more than twenty times." Qi Hancai answered standing aside.

 The cleaning of the main roads has almost been completed.

 Only the area around the city center square is left. As long as it is cleared, the road to the passenger terminal can be opened.

The plan had been decided a long time ago, but the suspension of work delayed it for several days.

 Now that the matter is resolved, it is time to open up this road.

Wu Heng said directly: "Tomorrow, let's clean the central turntable. Everything that needs to be prepared is ready!"

 “Understood!” Qi Hancai nodded.

 The two stood at the door and chatted about the news of the past few days.

 At the same time, we discussed it and faced the construction of the old factory area later.

 After chatting for a while.

Wu Heng also returned to the dormitory, glanced at Kalema who was still reading seriously, opened the gate and headed to Treasure Island.

 …

Dining room.

 The three of them were sitting at the table eating dinner.

Wu Heng picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, glanced at Anderweil, and asked: "Weier, is there nothing wrong with the association?"

"It's nothing. The biggest thing is that there are a new batch of wanted posters, and I have already taken pictures of them." Anderweil replied.

 Information transmission in this world is still relatively slow.

Even if the cargo ship discovers that Kalema is missing or dead, it will report it to the association at the next port.

 It will be delivered to Treasure Island by then, maybe in a few months.

It's hard to find out clearly even if you want to, just don't let those props leak out.

“Well, come back early next time when nothing happens.” Wu Heng said.

"It's already very early. If it were earlier, it would be noon." Anderweier said softly.

 “Well, really, it’s okay to come back at noon occasionally.”

Anderweil also smiled, "I know, Master."

Minnie was also at the side, picked up a piece of sea fish meat, brought it over and said, "Master, eat this. I heard it is very nourishing. Eat more and you will have strength at night." Wu Heng was stuffed into his mouth and muttered, "You It sounds like he’s not very satisfied with what he said.”

“Where can I find it? It’s more powerful. I can use it to punish the little fox at night.” Minnie said, picking up another piece and stuffing it into his mouth.

 Andeweier on the side rolled her eyes and said, "Obviously you stick to the master every day and always make trouble with me."

 After dinner, we chatted for a while in the living room.

They went back to the room to rest together.

 …

 The next day.

Wu Heng first went to the association.

Although I didn’t think that Kalema’s death would spread, I still took a look.

 Found that nothing happened.

Go to the association dormitory to get the bug back, then go home directly.

 Open the gate and go to the zombie world.

Skeleton Kalema was still sitting at the desk reading a book. Wu Heng glanced at it, took out the walkie-talkie and asked: "Qi Hancai, are you ready?"

Soon, a reply came over the intercom, "Ready, ready to go at any time."

“Okay, let’s go when I get downstairs.”

"receive!"

Wu Heng went downstairs and the motorcade had already stopped at the door.

 Two military trucks and one off-road vehicle.

A round window was opened on the top of the passenger side of the off-road vehicle, and a skeleton stuck its upper body out of the round window, manipulating a heavy machine gun.

 At the old factory area, the firearms are still in charge of skeletons with shooting expertise.

 Ordinary survivor patrols are equipped with heavy crossbows.

Wu Heng mobilized the skeleton army.

 Then he opened the door and got directly into the co-pilot of the truck.

 The convoy started, and under the protection of the skeleton army, it left the factory and headed towards the target direction.

 …

 Central roundabout.

 It connects the main roads in four directions and is also the most prosperous road section in the city.

 Surrounded by shopping malls, large supermarkets, the Workers' Cultural Palace, and a mobile phone street.

 There was a small pedestrian street next to the auto repair shop, where a large number of zombies gathered. There must be more zombies here.

 The skeleton army escorted the convoy forward.

 After clearing two small waves of corpses along the way.

 At the end of the line of sight, one can see the circular turntable and the densely packed zombie figures.

“If you go further, you may attract the attention of the zombies.” Qi Hancai said.

Wu Heng nodded, "Stop the car and let everyone start preparing!"

 “Okay!” Qi Hancai picked up the walkie-talkie and handed over the task.

With a sudden thought, Wu Heng released Xiaoxiao and Glenda and asked them to go to the front to investigate the situation.

Soon, two ghosts flew back from the distance, got into the body, and shared the scene they just saw.

 The roads surrounding the carousel, as well as the roads extending in the other three directions, are filled with dense zombies.

 At the feet of the zombies, there are scrapped cars crowding the road.

 It seems that when the zombies broke out, this road section formed a serious jam, and the cars all crashed together, forming a car cemetery.

 In the group of corpses, several deformed zombies can be seen.

 Big guy, creeper.

 There was no big-headed zombie seen, but the big-headed zombies were relatively timid and were probably hiding in a nearby building.

After Wu Heng looked at the shared pictures, his attention was attracted by some weird zombies.

 They have the same body shape as normal zombies. The skin on their bodies is still shriveled, but it is no longer rotten and dilapidated.

 It’s more like a mummy without fat.

These zombies are scattered among the corpses.

The action is not like wandering aimlessly like other zombies, but turns around to look for the target, and will also push approaching zombies aside.

 Looks like he has some intelligence.

 New type of zombie? Or are ordinary zombies evolving again?

 Qi Hancai noticed his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Is there any update on the zombies on the radio?”

"Yes." Qi Hancai recalled for a moment and said: "Several types of zombies have been updated. There is a splatter zombie, which is characterized by spraying thick liquid, and a plague ghost, which is characterized by emitting dust viruses. The third-level zombie has announced a Millipede is said to be a monster made up of many limbs.”

 “Where are the ordinary zombies?”

“The main station said that ordinary zombies in some places have begun to possess certain intelligence, but they did not release any more information.”

Wu Heng nodded. It seemed that the zombies mixed in were probably the kind of evolved zombies mentioned on the radio.

If all zombies evolve intelligence.

That would be an even greater disaster for the survivors.

“You stay in the car. There are a lot of corpses today, so everyone should be careful,” Wu Heng said.

“Oh, okay!” Qi Hancai nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions.

 …

 After getting off the car.

 Let the skeleton army be ready.

Wu Heng patted the two deformed dogs and said, "Go and lure those zombies over."

 The two deformed dogs kept shaking their bony tails.

Hearing Wu Heng's words, he ran out immediately.

 When he got within a hundred meters of the zombie, all the zombies nearby turned their heads and looked over.

　　First he was stunned, and then he let out an ear-splitting roar.

 Almost at the same time, the nearby zombies also roared, spreading backwards in waves.

  The skeleton dog turned around and ran away, while the group of corpses also quickly caught up.

The crowd squeezed into the middle road, pushing and crowding each other, like a rushing black wave, desperately chasing the fleeing skeleton dog.

 The earth began to tremble, and the roar of corpses was as loud as thunder.

The skeleton dog’s erect tail was also tucked up, lowering its head and running as fast as it could.

 …

 The tide of corpses is coming.

The ground trembled, and the ear-splitting roar mixed with the fishy smell spread, like purgatory on earth.

 Qi Hancai, Wang Chenggang and others looked at the mass of darkness in the distance, and their expressions changed dramatically, full of horror and fear.

 This amount is indeed beyond original expectations.

 Any shelter, including walls, iron bars, machine guns and artillery, would be flooded in an instant.

 There is no way to stop so many zombies.

 There are too many.

Can these skeletons withstand it?

 Everyone suddenly became a little uncertain.

Wu Heng looked at the tide of corpses running in the distance, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

 Said to the big-headed skeleton behind him: "The skeleton flying dragon flies out and drops the iron bullets."

 Hurrah hoo~!

 Five skeletal flying dragons rushed into the sky instantly.

  Quickly reaching the sky above the corpses, the magazine opened, and dense iron bullets fell like black raindrops.

　　Boom, boom, boom~!

In an instant, there was an explosion and thick smoke rose into the sky.

 The iron bullets dropped by the five skeletal flying dragons instantly emptied the entire road.

 The ground was covered with broken limbs, rotten flesh, and blood.

More waves of corpses continued to run forward, stepping on the flesh and blood on the ground.

 Crowded the whole road again.

 Charge with a roar.

 …

At the rear, Wang Chenggang and others kept scanning the distance while changing the magazine.

I wish I had a few more hands and could just stuff the magazine into it.

The two ghosts responsible for the investigation flew back again. Glenda said: "There are corpses coming around on the right, and there are a lot of them."

“Uncle, there are zombies coming from the left.”

Wu Heng's eyes instantly narrowed and he quickly looked around on both sides.

Tall buildings block the view, but you can still faintly hear running footsteps.

 “There are indeed big-headed zombies.”
