Chapter 254: They won't chop us up too, right?
How is this possible?
What kind of power can control so many skeletons?
At the bus station, those who came to trade supplies could see skeletons training with the team.
There were just over twenty moving back and forth.
But now…
The number of skeletons has exceeded their expectations.
Each one is clad in armor, holding various weapons.
Like soldiers straight out of ancient times.
The people from Dong'an Shelter were all dumbfounded on the bus.
The anger in their hearts from feeling neglected vanished instantly upon seeing the skeleton army.
Compared to this, they really didn't have the qualifications to be taken seriously.
"Big Sister, is this Li Yanhong's power?" someone in the car asked.
Qi Hancai shook her head, "No, Li Yanhong's power is fire-type like Ma Zhiyong's. This power should be the King of Hell's ability."
"They have three ability users?"
According to their guesses.
The one investigating the neighborhood was likely one power user, Li Yanhong is fire-type, and the legendary King of Hell controls skeletons.
This auto repair shop suddenly gathered three power users.
"But that's not right. With three power users, why is Li Yanhong the leader?"
"Maybe she's in charge of the entire shelter's planning!"
Qi Hancai said nothing.
Her gaze landed on a bus.
The door opened, and Li Yanhong stepped out in anti-stab clothing.
Then, a man in black leather armor followed, wearing a leather helmet, but judging from his posture and walk, he wasn't very old.
Behind the man, several tall and strong figures emerged one after another.
All of them were skeletons.
The King of Hell…
…
Outside the residential area.
The skeleton army quickly assembled and lined up, entering combat mode.
Wu Heng and Li Yanhong, accompanied by a few special skeletons, walked into the middle of the skeleton army.
Once everything was ready.
A direct order was given: "Advance forward!"
Clatter!
The skeletons began to move, advancing in formation.
The sound of bones grinding and armor clashing filled the air.
As the army advanced, it immediately caught the attention of the zombies.
They roared in anger and charged directly.
Just as they approached, they were knocked to the ground by the skeletons, killed in passing.
When the army reached the entrance.
The zombies in the residential area roared one after another, spreading like a chain reaction throughout the entire area.
A large number of zombies rushed out from the hallways and paths, those upstairs broke through the windows, falling like raindrops amidst the shards of glass.
Thudding heavily onto the ground.
The horde quickly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, the entire road was filled with zombies, a dense mass.
Roar roar roar!
The dense roars echoed throughout the entire area.
Qi Hancai and the others, hiding in an off-road vehicle, abruptly stopped their conversation, looking toward the direction of the noise.
They were instantly on high alert.
Although their view was blocked by the skeletons, the dense roars indicated the presence of a massive zombie horde.
Are they planning to take them on head-to-head?
…
The horde charged in with a sky full of stench.
Pushing, trampling, and scrambling over each other.
Wu Heng glanced at the horde and saw a two-meter-tall Level 2 mutated zombie at the rear.
It was standing on top of a car, staring blankly in this direction.
The Level 3 mutated zombie, however, had not appeared.
Hiding?
Or lurking in the dark, planning an ambush?
Wu Heng released 'Xiaoxiao' and 'Glenda,' letting the two phantoms scout for targets nearby.
At the same time, he ordered the Big Head Skeleton, "Allow the crossbowmen to shoot freely."
The crossbow strings twanged.
The bolts whistled out, shooting straight toward the zombies.
In an instant, the zombies in the front row were pierced by the bolts, tripping a large section of the horde.
Rolling and continuing their charge.
The crossbowmen reloaded their bolts and continued firing.
No need to aim; just shoot forward, and they'd hit the target.
After five or six rounds of shooting, the horde began to close in.
"Crossbowmen, fall back! Throw the spears!"
Clatter!
Following Big Head Skeleton's command.
The crossbowmen quickly retreated to the back, and more spears were thrown directly forward.
Clang clang clang!
Iron spears rained down from the sky, knocking down another large group of zombies.
The horde was now within 30 meters.
Wu Heng cast [Grease Spell] and [Fireball Spell], and the flames roared up, yet the zombies charged straight into the fire without hesitation.
Continuing through the flames, they crashed into the spear formation of the skeletons.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The spears pierced through their bodies instantly, and the zombies pushed and pulled forward.
Fully engaged in close combat.
Meanwhile, the crossbowmen fired in an arc over the front skeletons, landing into the horde.
"Bring out the Skeleton Dragon," Wu Heng continued.
More forces weren't necessarily needed in the battle.
But he wanted to test the combat capabilities of the newly acquired skeletal wyvern.
Since it was brought along, they might as well see its effect.
Just then, a whistling sound came from the convoy's direction.
The skeletal wyvern with flesh wings flapped its wings, flying over the battlefield.
It swooped through the zombie horde, its sharp claws snatching up several zombies and dropping them from the sky.
Smashing them into pulp with a series of thuds.
…
The sky gradually darkened.
But the firelight in the battle area grew even brighter.
Orange flames, zombie roars, the sound of blades hacking and chopping flesh, and the circling bone dragon.
All of it formed an incredible scene.
"Who's shaking their leg? Stop it, people outside might think we're doing something inside the car!"
"Why do they even have a dragon?"
"Skeletons are already up and chopping, what's so strange about having a dragon? Stop shaking, the more you talk, the more excited you get."
"Damn, I can't help it."
"You've killed zombies before; why are you so scared?"
"How can it be the same? Hearing this chopping sound makes my heart tremble. When it's over, they won't chop us up too, right?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the car fell silent.
Everyone looked at Qi Hancai.
Qi Hancai turned back and glared at them, "Killing zombies yields cores and supplies; killing you guys, what's the point?"
"Yeah, that's true!"
…
Whoosh—Bang!
Several electric scooters were thrown into the skeleton formation.
Crushing many skeletons.
Then, a furious roar followed, knocking aside the zombies in front, charging forward.
"Mutated zombies are charging!" Li Yanhong immediately said.
After throwing a few electric scooters, the mutated zombies finally chose to charge forward.
Rather than continuously throwing things from afar.
"No rush, let it come a bit closer," Wu Heng said calmly.
Soon, the mutated zombie reached the front line, roaring loudly as it charged.
Suddenly, the skeleton formation opened a gap.
A similarly tall figure in iron armor charged out head-on.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed as the two massive bodies collided.
The huge force knocked both back a couple of steps, then they steadied and charged at each other again.
Boom!
Another heavy collision followed.
The Second Big Guy, the Terrorclaw, and several mutated skeletons quickly surrounded it.
Huge fists pounded down, sharp claws tore deep gashes on its back.
Fear appeared on the mutated zombie's hideous face.
It tried to run.
But as soon as it turned, it was pounced on by the Terrorclaw.
Other skeletons swarmed over, fiercely pounding the mutated zombie, amidst furious roars, faint sounds of bones breaking could be heard.
Wu Heng didn't pay much attention to the Level 2 mutated zombie.
Given the current situation, zombies of this level wouldn't pose much of a threat unless they were in large numbers.
What concerned him was still that Level 3 mutated zombie.
It still hadn't appeared.
Did it run away?
Just then, Xiaoxiao emerged from a building, pointing to the back, "Uncle, that black-skinned gorilla is over there."
Before she finished speaking.
Boom!
A loud crash erupted as a section of the concrete wall was suddenly smashed open.
Amidst the rising dust.
The massive Level 3 mutated zombie set its sights on the rear of the skeleton formation.
Roar!
It let out a furious roar.
Its body charged forward like an out-of-control tank, heading straight for Wu Heng and Li Yanhong.
