Chapter 118: Chapter 117, Your Faithful Servant_1
The formation was adjusted.
Wu Heng let the skeleton dog run around the neighborhood up ahead.
Skeletons can’t make any sound, but as they kept running, one zombie after another roared, instantly forming a continuous wall of sound.
An evenrger number of zombies surged out of the neighborhood on both sides.
They converged on the main road, forming arger horde, as dense as a flood from a dam break.
Closely packed, pushing and shoving each other.
The number of zombies here was not a few, havinge together, there were perhaps over a thousand of them.
Li Yahong was a bit nervous, seeing the tide of zombies, her feet involuntarily stepped back two steps.
Seeing Wu Heng stand still, she again steadied her pace.
Wu Heng waited for the right moment and directly released his [Grease Skill]bined with [Fireball Technique]. The scorching mes exploded at the same time igniting the grease on the ground.<div>
With a whoosh, a fierce fire burst into mes.
The zombies did not stop at all, charging straight into the fire.
The first batch of zombies to enter the mes.
They could only see struggling figures, then they slowly fell to the ground.
Much more zombies from behind drove through the mes, entering the ranks of the spear-wielding soldiers with their bodies on fire.
The fight began in an instant.
Zombies roared and clutched.
Skeletons silently thrust their spears.
Like waves hitting the bank, causing a visually shocking impact.
Wu Heng gave two more orders, allowing the Kitchen Knife Skeleton to weave into the middle of the spear soldiers, and kill the zombies that were squirming in.
Thump Thump Thump~!
In the chaotic battle.
Heavy footsteps came from the distance.
The giant zombie that Xiao Xiao saw emerged from the neighborhood with great strides.
Its gaze fell on the group of skeletons up ahead.
The already gruesome face revealed an excited and fanatic expression.
Boom Boom~!
It jumped twice in ce.
Then casually picked up two shared bikes from the roadside and threw them forcefully.<div>
Boom~ng!
The shared bikes crashed into the skeleton array, knocking over many skeleton soldiers.
The giant zombie immediately roared and with heavy steps, charged, knocking over the approaching horde of zombies, and began to rush forward.
Unstoppable, it was like a runaway truck.<div>
Looking like it’s about to crash into the skeleton camp.
Wu Heng said, “Big Guy, stop it.”
Thump Thump Thump~!
Dressed in full te armor, Big Guy also began to run with big strides.
Boom~!
A violent collision sound resonated.
The two roughly equal in size monsters collided at the junction of the two forces.
The massive impact made their bodies slightly falter and retreat two steps.
Then, theyunched another attack, quickly closed in, with giant fists swinging, pounding towards the other’s body.
Thump Thump Thump, Boom Boom Boom~!
There were nobat techniques, just a direct physical confrontation.
Wu Heng continued to observe the surroundings, confirming no other danger existed.
He continued, “Bawudong, kill it. Let’s settle this quickly.”<div>
Bawudong, stripped off his armor, revealing his iron-gray skeleton.
With a kick, he leapt out a few meters.
Quickly approaching the target.
The giant zombie, seeing a skinny opponent get close, revealed a humiliated anger in its eyes.
Taking a punch from Big Guy.
Then tightened its giant fist and struck at the iing gray skeleton.
Bawudong sidestepped to avoid, hooked his right fist and smashed against the zombie’s elbow.
The st wave exploded.
The tumorous muscle copsed, bones cracking.
The giant zombie took a step back, while Big Guy quickly followed up, his fists striking at the target with abandon.
Bawudong also swiftly closing in, using various angles to weave around the giant zombie’s body.
Continuously striking the zombie’s ribs, joints.
The giant zombie, frantically warding off blows.<div>
As its movements grew more disoriented, it took more and more hits.
Bawudong waited for the right moment, sweeping the leg.
The giant zombie’s body immediately lost bnce, toppling to one side.
Big Guy, with fistsbined, hammered down.
The giant zombie jerked its body, forcefully enduring a punch, then quickly tried to get up.
Bawudong approached again, his fists continuously swinging, an unending chain of blows, striking faster and faster.
Amid the waves of sting air, muscles began to burst, pus and blood sttering everywhere.
He swept out with another leg.
Boom~!
A heavy thud resonated, striking directly on the zombie’s head.
The giant zombie’s head bent down 180 degrees, its neck limply dropping the head onto its back.
The giant zombie’s body struggled to get up. After a few steps forward, it fell to its knees with a thud, its body falling over.
Wu Heng stood on top of a car, watching the giant zombie fall, he quickly gave an order, “Attack, advance!”<div>
Ssh!
The group of skeletons began to advance, attacking the zombies in response.
…
In the distance, a rooftop.
A few people watched the battle below in horror.
“Isn’t it too coincidental that we asked about Mutated zombies yesterday? Could it have something to do with these skeletons?”
“Stop talking, let’s go back first, no search today.”
“Okay!”
The few people reset the irondder, nning to return the way they came.
Even if the zombies below were all lured away, they didn’t dare go downstairs with all pomp and show.
They climbed two buildings back the same way, halfway up the third, when…
Below, on the open space, a woman in a work suit wearingbor protection gloves walked in, escorted by a few skeletons.
She looked up at them.
Bang~!
The man climbing the irondder slipped, almost falling.
He clung desperately to thedder, motionless.
Li Yahong frowned at him, unsure why he had stopped halfway.
She looked up and asked, “Are you survivors?”
“Damn, you’re human….”
Li Yahong rolled her eyes, “Come down, let’s have a chat.”
“Uh, we can chat here!”
“We’re survivors from nearby. You cane with us, or stay here. If youe with us, you’ll have work to do, but you’ll get food and protection,” Li Yahong said indifferently.
Upon meeting survivors, these are the basic things to say. Any more would be unnecessary.
Survivors?
The few men exchange nces.
One of them asked, “What about these skeletons? What’s going on?”
“Ever heard of the superpowered? I can’t exin too much to you,” Li Yahong said.
She, too, believes it’s about superpowers.
Though, many things couldn’t be exined by superpowers.
“Are you really survivors?”
“Given the current situation, do I need to lie to you?”
“Aren’t you from the auto repair shop? I’ve had my car repaired at your ce.” One of the men said.
“I am from the auto repairing shop. Enough about that, what’s your decision?” Li Yahong cut to the chase.
“We need to discuss.”
Li Yahong nodded, said, “I’ll give you 20 minutes, I’ll wait at the door. If I don’t see you, I’ll assume you’ve decided to stay.”
She walked away without waiting for their response.
…
Twenty minutester.
Wu Hengmanded the skeletons to clean up the battlefield.
The skeletons carried away the bodies, while the Big Guy dragged off the giant zombie, ready to head back.
At this moment, Li Yahong came back and said softly, “They didn’te. They probably didn’t want toe with us.”
During thebat, Xiao Xiao discovered the survivors.
He told Li Yahong to go talk to them. Apparently, due to some considerations, they didn’t want to go with him.
It didn’t matter. He intended to help the survivors, but it depended on their will.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Wu Heng turned his head, and the group started to head back the way they came.
But they hadn’t walked far when they heard the sound of an approaching car from behind.
The skeletons sprang into action immediately.
Holding up their kitchen knives and spears, they charged at the car.
“Wait, don’t attack, it’s us.” The people in the car were scared and immediately shouted out.
They were afraid that if they were toote, the skeletons would hack them to pieces.
All the zombies here were cleaned up by the skeletons, let alone them.
“Make the skeletons stand by.”
The attacking skeletons halted.
They surrounded the mini-van, forming severalyers.
Wu Heng nced at Li Yahong. Thetter understood and went over to ask, “Do you want toe with us?”
“Um.” A man held his hands up like in a cop movie and said, “We have packed our stuff, but it just took some time.”
Li Yahong looked inside the van and saw that it was filled with a mess of items.
And several people.
“How many of you are there?”
“Eight. Some of us are family, and the rest are fellow survivors from the nearby building.”
The car window opened, revealing children, women, but fewer men.
No wonder they wanted toe with us.
These people were all burdens.
If they stayed here scavenging for food, the day woulde when they would run out.
Li Yahong straightforwardly said, “Be certain about this — once we get there, all of you will need to obey our rules. Even the women will have to contribute withbor. You all know what time it is — no one’s going to be freeloading.”
“Understood. We’ve all discussed it. As long as you can provide us a safe ce.”
“Fine.” Li Yahong looked ahead and said, “The road’s blocked over there. Your van won’t make it. Get out and walk. Carry whatever you need.”
“Oh, okay, thank you.”
Everyone got out of the van, carrying their belongings with them.
They gave a wary nce at the dense crowd of skeletons, cautiously following behind as they continued forward.
When they reached the crossroads.
Wu Heng pulled Li Yahong aside and whispered, “With more peopleing, watch out for your own followers. We don’t want any trouble.”
Li Yahong understood his meaning.
Women were physically disadvantaged in strength and stamina.
Over time, some people might have other ideas.
Maintaining their own positions was equally important.
Wu Heng was very satisfied with Li Yahong. She yed by the rules and aplished all the tasks she was given.
He also wanted to continue their coboration.
Of course, Wu Heng had thought about providing her with a pistol or something.
Yet he was afraid that if something happened one day, it could be a weapon pointed at him.
“I understand. I’ll be cautious,” Li Yahong said with a slight smile.
She was somewhat touched.
At least he recognized her abilities. It wasn’t just about anybody who could manufacture spears.
“Ok, off you go. In a couple of days, I’ll arrange for a few skeletons to protect you,” he said.
“Um… no need, it’s not that dangerous.”
After a short chat, they went their separate ways.
Wu Heng had the skeletons pile up the corpses. Li Yahong, leading the survivors and carrying rice, flour, and toilet paper, headed towards the car repair shop.
From afar, Qiangzi and his team ran out.
They weed them into the workshop.
…
ck Stone Town.
The Professionals Association Hall.
The bustling hall was full of professionalsing to eptmissions.
The steward, Slyther, decked out in leather armor, walked into the hall with his team and the Money Cat.
“Steward, there’s a letter here addressed to the ‘Money Cat’ but there’s no recipient written down,” a staff member shouted.
“Give it to me!” Slyther reached out and took it.
The only person who could send a letter to the Money Cat through the association was her.
He took the letter and returned to the steward’s office.
