MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 41, Assembling the Iron Spear

The fishy smell is so overwhelming that you can smell it even from such a distance.

As the only commercial street in the district-level area, it is a centralized location for shopping and shopping for nearby residents.

I don’t say that everyone loves shopping, but shops are gathered here.

 If you want to buy something, you need to come here.

 But it’s not like there are so many zombies gathered, right?

 Is there a party? What a party.

 That’s not right….

Even if this is a shopping place, shouldn’t so many people gather here?

 It’s almost time to visit scenic spots during the holidays.

 “It’s because of the sound...”

Wu Heng made a bold guess.

 It may not have been the time when the virus broke out that so many people gathered here.

But after the outbreak, the street continued to play sound, and various high-pitched songs and dances attracted nearby zombies.

 When the power went out later, the speakers and everything stopped playing, but the zombies gathered were still wandering nearby.

 I don’t know if my guess is correct, but it is very likely.

Wu Heng observed from a distance for a while, and after confirming that no aberrant zombies or other monsters were found, he started to return the same way.

Back in the queue of skeletons, Jian Yi and Jian Er are commanding the skeletons to clean up the battlefield.

 The corpses were piled aside, and the dropped kitchen knives and fruit knives were also collected for the next skeleton to continue using.

 There is no danger around.

 Wu Heng focused his attention on the nearby shops on both sides.

 There are more restaurants, fruit shops, and milk tea shops the closer they are to the commercial street.

 Almost the entire strip is composed of these types.

But Wu Heng’s eyes still fell on a store called ‘Xinyi Advertising’.

 Looking at the name, it seems that they make shop signs and billboards.

　　Let the swordsmen, swordsmen, crossbows, and crossbows each take the skeletons to the other stores to search, while I took Bassen and several skeletons into the advertising store.

There is a large empty space in the middle of the hall, with red banners and plastic advertising letters piled on the dirty floor.

Wu Heng glanced around and found several metal pipes about three or four meters long near the wall.

iron tube?

I’m not sure whether it’s an iron pipe or a steel pipe, but there are probably more than twenty.

This kind of straight metal pipe should be of some use.

I continued to look at the back room and the second floor of the shop, and found some cutting and welding tools, but they all need to be connected to electricity and are not available at the moment.

 After confirming that there was nothing else useful, he ordered to the skeleton, "Move these out."

The glass door of the shop was broken, and several skeletons walked out directly carrying iron pipes.

 The Sword One Sword Two and several skeletons on the side also came back.

 The skeleton warrior behind him held a kitchen knife and fruit knife that he had found.

 The gains are not big.

 Let’s return to the alleyway where we just fought.

 Planning to return with the team.

 “Carry the body and go back.”

  The skeleton warriors picked up the corpse and walked together towards the community where they lived.

 …

 Return to the living room downstairs.

　　The corpses that were brought back were piled into a hill.

Wu Heng sat aside and looked at the iron pipe and fruit knife he brought back.

After putting them together and comparing them, he took out the tape and wrapped the fruit knife around one end of the iron pipe. After the wrapping was firm, he took out the iron wire and wrapped it around the outside a few times.

 After everything is finished, take a closer look.

  It doesn’t seem to be much different from the spear you bought.

“Jianyi, take it and try it.” Wu Heng said.

As soon as Jian came over, he took the iron spear that was five or six meters long and made a forward stabbing motion.

 Poof~!

　　The fruit knife at the front pierced directly into the pile of corpses nearby.

 Pull it out again, bringing out a black and red blood drop.

 Looks pretty good, the fruit knife is still strong and has not fallen off.

Having raided so many buildings, I still have hundreds of fruit knives.

In addition to iron pipes, you can also collect some wooden sticks and the like to assemble this simple spear.

Feeling that it was totally possible to try, he said to Jianyi: "In this way, combine the fruit knife and the iron pipe. The four of you will do it tonight."

The only ones with wisdom are one sword, two swords, one crossbow and two crossbows, and the rest of the skeletons, let them attack and move things.

 It is obviously unrealistic to assemble things, so Jianyi and the others can only do it.

 And Bassen has to follow him back to Blackstone Town, so he can't stay to help.

Jianyi expressed his understanding and began to find daggers and more tape and wire to assemble. Wu Heng asked Basson to bring a chair and sit in front of the pile of corpses to perform the bone-slaking technique.

 The effect of the staff can reduce the mental energy consumption when casting spells.

 But when I use it, I don’t actually feel much, and I don’t know if it works.

 The Bone Slaking Technique was released continuously, and each skeleton stood up and slowly walked into the queue.

 At dusk, he took the skeletons back to the roof and returned to Blackstone Town.

 …

 Blackstone Town.

 Go directly to the weapon shop.

 There were two waves of customers in the store, and the boss and the clerk were selling the weapons on the shelves.

Seeing Wu Heng come in, the boss stretched out his hand to say hello, indicating that he would look at it first.

After seeing off the previous guests, he wiped his hands with his apron and walked over, "What do you want to buy today?"

“Besides spears, are there any other long-handled weapons?” Wu Heng walked around the shop and asked directly.

“Yes, there are long-handled battle axes and war hammers here, both of which have good destructive power.” The boss led him to the cabinet shelf, pointing to several weapons and introducing them.

These look good, but they are not what Wuheng needs.

 “Is there a long-handled weapon like a triangular fork?”

“Well, we don’t have this kind of weapon in the store at the moment.” The boss frowned and replied, then thought about it and said, “But there is one similar to what you mentioned.”

 “Show me.”

"Okay, over here." The boss walked with him towards the corner. In a wooden barrel, there was a wooden handle with four iron cone-shaped instruments on the top.

He introduced: "Is this the kind you are talking about, a pitchfork, used for handling hay."

Wu Heng held it in his hand and frowned.

He naturally knew the pitchfork. It was a very common farm tool that could be seen in ordinary villages.

 It indeed satisfies his own description.

 “How many?” Wu Heng asked.

 “Probably five or six like this.” The boss replied.

"so little?"

“Look, we are a weapons store, and who in the city would buy a pitchfork?”

 It seems to be correct. The definition of a pitchfork is an agricultural tool and should not be considered a weapon.

 “How much does a pitchfork cost?”

  “55 copper.”

 Compared to weapons, pitchforks are much cheaper.

I just don’t know if the opponent’s zombies have any effect.

 “I want them all.” Wu Heng said directly.

"good."

The boss smiled and agreed, and immediately went down to prepare.

 Not long after, the boss took out the pitchforks, five of them in total.

 In fact, the number is not many.

“If you need more, we can make an extra batch for you later,” the boss continued.

 “No need for now, we’ll talk about it later.”

 After paying the bill, Basson and Basson carried the pitchfork and walked towards the residence.

 Return to your residence.

 Send all the pitchforks to the zombie world.

Wu Heng picked up the iron sword and started practicing his sword skills.

 So many days have passed, with Jian Yi as a sparring partner, and Altluk giving guidance and corrections to himself, but he still has not unlocked the swordsmanship specialization.

 This is a bit uncomfortable.

 After practicing at night, Wu Heng went to bed to rest.

 …

 The next day, zombie world.

Wu Heng came to the top of the building.

 Then he saw iron pipes placed on the ground to assemble spears, 22 in total.

The fruit knife at the top may be long or short, but the length of the iron pipe is about the same, and it is fixed with iron wire.

Overall, it looks really good.

 Selected 22 skeletons and ordered: "Put down your weapons."

 The skeleton threw the kitchen knife in his hand to the ground and stood there.

 “Take it.” Wu Heng handed over the iron spear.

 The skeleton reached out and grabbed the iron spear.
