Chapter 5, upgraded
Ta Ta Ta Ta!
The sound of dense footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Considering 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.
He turned around and 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 have an advantage.
Moreover, this area must be cleaned sooner or later, and the next corridor may not be without danger.
Even if it really doesn't work, just retreat to the roof and block the iron door.
After thinking quickly in my mind, I felt like I might give it a try.
More zombies with gray skin and ferocious faces rushed forward, pushing and shoving.
Wu Heng no longer hesitated and ordered decisively, "Attack."
The skeleton warrior began to charge downward.
Click...!
The kitchen knife cut into the top of his head, and the zombie fell to the ground.
From behind, more zombies pounced on them at the same time, clawing, 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 squeezing, some zombies squeezed off 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 and muttered while thrusting his short spear downwards.
This close 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, on the other hand, also stopped the stamina-consuming spear thrusting action and began to release the [Bone Slavery Technique].
Skeletons stood up where the two sides were fighting.
No need to give orders, just wave your fists 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, they kept attacking each other.
Wu Heng followed behind, sweat already beginning to appear on his forehead.
From the previous battle, he had time to rest and recover.
But this time it was different. The high-intensity and uninterrupted use of the bone technique made him feel the pressure.
My whole body was soaked with sweat as if my kidneys were weak, and my brain also felt a tingling sensation.
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 cause muscle damage, and you can recover after a period of rest.
Mental exhaustion, in severe cases, can turn into dementia or even directly into a vegetative state.
[Your level is increased to level 2, with intelligence +1, constitution +1, and mental strength slightly improved. 】
At this time, a prompt sounded 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 his brain was relieved a little.
"It's time to fight."
The skeleton team is currently on the third floor. All they have to do is fight to the first floor and close the door.
Continue to give the order, "Attack with all your strength."
Wow! !
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 roof 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 directly.
Bang - bang!
The iron sheet fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Like a signal being released, 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.
"Quick, kill."
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 zombies, and completely close the iron door at the stairway.
Bang bang bang! !
The zombies pounded the iron door hard, making a loud hammering sound.
He killed the remaining zombies in the corridor, and asked the skeletons to move in a lot of debris, blocking the stair door again. 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.
He did not continue to destroy the miserable green door.
Wu Heng was sitting in a room, 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 corridors were filled with corpses and broken bones.
He also has no intention of releasing the bone-slaking technique.
Anyway, the door has been blocked, and it won't be too late to come back and summon him when his condition is better tomorrow.
Stepping over the corpse, he began to lead the remaining skeleton warriors, cleaning the zombies from house to house, and searching 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, and you can see many motorcycle-related things, as well as some outdoor products.
There are many types of climbing ropes, portable lighting, and more.
What interested him the most was the sturdy helmet in his hand.
It has a fully duplex structure and a transparent plastic windshield on the front, which can prevent blood from splashing into the eyes and mouth when fighting zombies.
The material should be composite, 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.
Packing up everything he could use, he took it here and continued 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's mental energy consumption is too great, so I will stop the short spear training for one day.
...
The next day, noon.
Zombie world.
In one morning, Wu Heng transformed all the corpses in the stairs of the second unit 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.
Holding a kitchen knife and hammer in his hand, he still looked a bit imposing.
After counting, there were 52 skeleton warriors in total.
There are fewer than expected. After killing so many zombies yesterday, there are only these after transformation.
Among them, the sword-holding 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 no different than not getting promoted.
But being able to level up a little is better than having nothing at all. I just hope that the level goes up and the attributes add up.
According to normal experience points, there should be more reaching level two, but skeletons were also dying during the battle.
Most of the remaining skeletons were summoned from the ground in the morning, and their experience was 0.
The improvement of this skeleton is really a difficult thing to handle, and it 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]
[Level: 2 (550/900)]
[Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 11, Constitution 13, Intelligence 15, Perception 10, Charm 12.]
[Skills: Bones Technique]
itself 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 noticeable.
Sit aside and wait for your mental and physical strength to recover.
He stood up again, put on his motorcycle helmet and pulled off his mask, and issued a dull command, "Follow me."
Crash! !
More than fifty skeletons took action and followed 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 bodies 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?
