MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 5, upgraded

 Tap tap tap!

 The sound of dense footsteps echoed in the corridor.

 Based on the number of residents in one unit, it is impossible for there to be so many zombies.

 Unless all residents live in the corridor.

 But this is obviously impossible.

The only explanation is that the door of the unit building was not closed, and the zombies outside entered the corridor.

Depend on!

Wu Heng cursed that he was unlucky to actually encounter such a thing.

  Turning around, he wanted to take the skeleton warrior back to the rooftop.

Just as he turned around, his footsteps stopped again.

 The corridor is narrow, and the skeleton warrior in his hand may not be at an advantage.

Moreover, this area has to be cleaned sooner or later, and the next corridor may not be without danger.

Even if it really doesn't work, just go back to the roof and block the iron door.

 Thinking about it quickly in my mind, I felt like I might try it.

More zombies with gray skin and ferocious faces rushed forward, pushing and shoving.

Wu Heng no longer hesitated and decisively ordered, "Attack."

  The skeleton warrior began to charge downward.

 Click…!

 The kitchen knife cut into the top of the head, and the zombie fell to the ground.

 At the rear, more zombies rushed up at the same time, grabbing, biting, and using all possible attack methods, intending to tear the target in front into pieces.

The skeleton warrior kept waving the weapons in his hands, slashing at the zombies that were attacking.

 The corridor is narrow and only two to three zombies can attack side by side at most.

 In the pushing and crowding, some zombies squeezed over the guardrails or were trampled under their feet, unable to lift their heads.

 The roars of zombies, the sounds of clawing and slashing, and the sounds of broken bones echoed in the corridor.

 “If I have the chance, I must learn more long-range skills.”

Wu Heng stood behind the skeleton, stabbing his short spear downwards while muttering.

 This melee combat is too tiring.

 During the battle, a large number of zombies died, and many of them were trampled to death by the zombies behind them.

The scene was very chaotic.

 The number of skeleton warriors is also rapidly decreasing.

 This made Wu Heng feel a little distressed.

After all, under the gaze, skeletons were torn into pieces.

Wu Heng also stopped the stamina-consuming spear thrusting action and began to release the [Bone Slavery Technique].

 Skeletons stood up at the point where the two sides were fighting.

 There is no need to give orders, just wave your fist and lower your head towards the zombies.

 The battle became more intense, one up and down, like two waves of ant colonies colliding together.

 Pushing and tearing each other, constantly attacking each other.

Wu Heng followed behind, sweat already beginning to appear on his forehead.

 In the previous battle, he had time to rest and recover.

 But this time it was different. The high-intensity and uninterrupted use of the Skeleton Technique made him feel the pressure.

 The whole body was soaked in sweat as if the kidneys were weak, and there was a tingling sensation in the brain.

 I heard someone mention it in the tavern in Blackstone Town.

 The mage's frequent spellcasting is particularly draining of energy.

 Excessive physical exertion will only damage your muscles, which can be recovered after a period of rest.

 Mental exhaustion, in severe cases, can turn into dementia or even directly into a vegetative state.

　　【Your level has been upgraded to level 2, intelligence +1, constitution +1, and mental strength slightly improved. 】

 At this time, a prompt rang in my ears.

 Upgraded.

Just when Wu Heng felt that he was reaching his limit, a prompt suddenly appeared.

 For a moment, the tingling feeling in the brain was relieved a little.

 “It’s time to give it a try.”

 The skeleton team is currently on the third floor. All they need to do is reach the first floor and close the door.

 Continue to order, "attack with all strength."

 Hurrah!

The skeleton warriors charged forward like crazy, with kitchen knives in their hands and bare-handed skeletons pushing the zombies backwards.

Wu Heng quickly ran back to the top of the building with a few skeletons around him.

He glanced at the building materials, pointed to a piece of blue-painted iron sheet, and said, "Move this."

 The skeleton warrior picked up the iron sheet and followed it to the edge of the roof.

 Under Wu Heng’s command, he threw it down directly.

　　Bang—Crash~!

 The iron sheet fell to the ground, making a huge noise.

Like a release signal, all the zombies around him ran over like crazy.

 The crowd trampled on the blue painted iron sheet.

Wu Heng quickly returned to the corridor. As expected, there were far fewer zombies crowding down there.

 “Hurry, kill him.”

 The skeleton warriors continued to charge downward, and the battle became more and more intense.

 Attack all the way to the door.

 Let a few skeletons rush out of the door, attract the attention of the corpses, and completely close the iron door at the stairway.

 Bang, bang, bang!

The zombies pounded the iron door hard, making a loud hammering sound.

  Killed the remaining zombies in the corridor, and asked the skeletons to move in a lot of debris, blocking the stair door with another layer. Fortunately, zombies are obviously not very intelligent.

After beating the iron door for a while, I found that there was no movement inside, so I slowly dispersed, attracted by other sounds.

　　 Did not continue to destroy the miserable green-skinned door.

Wu Heng was sitting in a house, leaning on his forehead and breathing heavily.

 The situation just now was indeed a bit dangerous.

 Looking back, I was still a little frightened.

 Fortunately, the stair door is still blocked, otherwise things would be difficult.

 After resting for a while, my condition got a little better.

 The corridor was filled with corpses and broken bones.

 He also has no intention of releasing the Bone Slave Technique.

Anyway, the door is already blocked. When things get better tomorrow, it won’t be too late to come back and call.

Step over the corpse and start leading the remaining skeleton warriors to clean up the zombies in the house from house to house and search for loot.

 …

 In the room on the third floor.

Wu Heng held a black motorcycle helmet and looked at it carefully.

 The owner of the room should be a motorcycle enthusiast. You can see many motorcycle-related things and some outdoor products.

 There are many types of climbing ropes and portable lighting.

 What interests him the most is the sturdy helmet in his hand.

Fully duplex structure, with a transparent plastic windshield on the front, which can prevent blood from splashing into the eyes and mouth when fighting zombies.

Materials should be composite materials, very strong, and within the weight range.

 He took off his leather hat and put on a helmet to try on.

 It feels good, just a bit stuffy, but for safety's sake, it's bearable.

 Put the leather helmet on the Iron Sword Skeleton Warrior.

 Pack up everything you can use, take it here, and continue to the next room to continue searching.

　　Dusk.

 Back to Blackstone Town, I had something to eat and then went to bed to rest.

　 Today I have exhausted too much mental energy, so I will stop training with the short spear for one day.

 …

 The next day, noon.

 Zombie world.

 Over the course of the morning, Wu Heng transformed all the corpses in the stairs of Unit 2 yesterday into skeleton warriors.

 It took several hours to rest while transforming.

At this time, a large number of skeletons stood on the roof of the building.

Hold a kitchen knife and hammer in his hand, he still looks quite impressive.

 After counting, there were 52 skeleton warriors in total.

 There are fewer than expected. I killed so many zombies yesterday, but after the transformation, there are only these.

 The sword-wielding skeleton has been upgraded to level 2.

  【Attributes: Attributes: Constitution 10, Strength 13, Agility 8. 】

 The strength has increased a little, but there are no other changes.

 It feels like there is no difference from not getting promoted.

But if it can be upgraded a little, it is better than nothing. I just hope that the level will go up and the attributes will add up.

 According to normal experience points, there should be more reaching level two, but skeletons are also dying during the battle.

 Most of the remaining skeletons were summoned from the ground in the morning, and their experience is 0.

 The improvement of this skeleton is really a difficult thing to handle and requires careful planning.

 At least train a few high-level ones first.

 After distributing kitchen knives to the newly added skeletons, Wu Heng opened his own attributes.

  【Name: Wu Heng】

 【Occupation: Necromancer】

ˆ [Level: 2 (550/900)]

 【Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 11, Constitution 13, Intelligence 15, Perception 10, Charisma 12.】

  【Skill: Bone Trapping Technique】

 Himself has also been upgraded to level 2, and his physical fitness and intelligence have been improved.

 Better than skeletons, but not much better.

 It has indeed improved, but it doesn’t seem to have improved.

 The effect is basically not felt.

 Sit aside and wait until the mental and physical strength is almost restored.

 Standed up again, put on the motorcycle helmet and pulled down the visor, and issued a dull command, "Follow me."

 Hurrah!

More than fifty skeletons moved and followed behind him.

 Come to the third iron gate.

 Take out the bronze key and open it gently.

The cold and rotten smell penetrated the mask and entered the nasal cavity.

The stairwell was unusually quiet, with several broken corpses remaining on the ground.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Wu Heng frowned.

The zombies are dead?

 How can zombies be killed?

 Are there any survivors?
