The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 440 - 362, Four-legged Zombie
Chapter 440: Chapter 362, Four-legged Zombie
Behind the buildings on both sides, the dense running sounds and the zombies’ growls became increasingly clear.
The fact that the horde could choose to bypass meant that a ‘Big Head’ zombie was nearby.
It was very likely hiding in the nearby buildings.
“I’ll take a look,” Wu Heng said.
Two ghosts directly re-entered his body, and two images emerged in his mind.
Behind the buildings on both sides of the main road, a massive swarm of zombies was pressing towards this area.
...
The type of evolved zombies with withered muscles, seen earlier, were also mixed in with the horde.
They moved quickly and nimbly, starkly different from the regular zombies.
Even though they didn’t possess human-like intelligence, they had some low-level consciousness.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to control their bodies so flexibly.
After observing, Wu Heng released the two ghosts again.
He instructed, “Glenda, continue to observe the movement of the horde from the air. Remind me if there’s anything special. Xiao Xiao, go find the hidden Mutated Zombies, especially the ‘Big Head’ ones.”
Glenda nodded and flew straight up into the sky, while Xiao Xiao also responded and flew off into the distance.
Both ghosts were assigned tasks.
Wu Heng continued to issue orders to the Skeletons, “Mobilize the Skeletons to blockade both side roads and stop the approaching horde.”
Rustle rustle~!
A vast number of Skeletons sprang into action.
Two Spear Arrays broke off and quickly headed towards the few branching paths on both sides.
The spears advanced, forming a defensive line.
Wu Heng also released the “Eagle Eye Technique” at various points in the formations, placing several sensors to monitor the entire battlefield.
Soon, the horde that had been behind the buildings crashed into view.
Like floodwaters released from a dam, they slammed into the defensively posed Skeletons.
The zombies, tumbling and squeezing through, overwhelmed the front line of Skeletons beneath them.
More Ax-wielding Skeletons were called into action, rushing toward the zombies that breached the defense line.
They clashed fiercely with each other.
…
Meanwhile.
The main road, which had just been cleared with grenades, was once again overrun with a tide of zombies.
With claws bared and stampeding over scattered limbs and filth, they continued to charge forward.
At the rear of the group.
Wang Chenggang and the others anxiously replaced the magazines on the Skeleton Flying Dragons.
Even though they had followed the skeletons to clear out zombies on many occasions, the sight of an endless horde from all directions still made their hearts tremble.
Not shaking or screaming out loud meant that, among the survivors, they were relatively strong-willed.
“Brother Qiang, can we really kill them all?” a survivor asked with a trembling voice.
This number was overwhelming, and not just for zombies.
Even if they were rabbits, it might take days to kill them all.
The other survivors who were also changing magazines simultaneously turned to Wang Chenggang.
He had come from the auto repair shop and often spoke about past battles.
Right now, everyone wanted to hear his opinion even more.
Wang Chenggang looked up at the distance and said, “The Skeleton Army is no smaller in number than the zombies. The King and Qi Hancai aren’t afraid, so what are we worried about?”
“But we don’t have superpowers!”
“Don’t worry, I followed them all the way here from Qixin District. The Skeletons have never lost a fight, and they can’t lose this time either!”
“But the numbers…”
Crackle~!
In the midst of their conversation, a burst of static came through the walkie-talkie.

“Wang Chenggang, when will the magazine be changed?”
Wang Chenggang’s expression froze, and he freed one hand to press the walkie-talkie, “Almost done.”
Then, they wiped sweat from their foreheads and hastened their work.
Qi Hancai also jumped down from the truck, leading his Skeleton guards to help with the magazine change.
…
At the main road location.
The horde of zombies spread rapidly from the main road like a wave.
Wu Heng released a “White Bone Armor” on himself and continued to watch the rapidly approaching zombie swarm.
“Archers, fire at will,” Wu Heng ordered directly.
The densely packed Archers began to draw their bows and notch their arrows.
Whoosh~!
Arrows flew out like a howling gale, swarming the skies like dark clouds.
Then, with crackling sounds, they fell among the horde of zombies.
Large swathes of zombies were turned into pincushions by the arrows, their bodies knocked to the ground by inertia, tripping up the zombies behind them and tumbling into heaps.
Yet more zombies stepped over their fallen comrades, continuing their frenzied charge forward.
Wave after wave of arrows rained down.
Zombies fell in batches.
After several volleys of arrow fire.
Wang Chenggang’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, “Ready!”
“Let the Flying Dragons attack!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
The sound of the air being torn apart rang out.
Five Skeleton Flying Dragons soared into the sky, flying head-on towards the charging swarm of zombies.
The Mutated Zombies mixed in with the horde stopped in their tracks, looked up at the strange creatures in the sky, picked up stones from the ground, and hurled them into the air with all their might.
The next moment, the sky darkened again.
A mass of blackness, accompanied by stones, fell from above.
Boom boom boom~!
The ground shook, and thick smoke billowed into the air.
Wu Heng instantly crouched, as dust and debris clattered against the White Bone Armor.
Looking up ahead, the dense mass of zombies had cleared, leaving only a few scattered ones, their bodies mutilated but still not dead.
One of them was a Level 2 Giant Zombie, with several bloody holes in its body.
The body swayed, slowly falling backward.
“Go, kill the remaining zombies, then come back.”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
A mass of Ax-wielding Skeletons surged past the Spear Array, charging towards the zombies ahead.
They pounced on the remaining zombies, and their Battle Axes kept falling, chopping at the zombies.
Even the Level 2 Mutated Zombies fell to the ground amidst the chaotic hacking.
Dragged backward by their corpses, they quickly retreated behind the skeleton defensive line before the next wave of zombies arrived.
…
Wu Heng connected to the Eagle Eye Techniques left at various intersections to observe the situation.
On the right-hand path.
Crash~, smash!
Glass shattered above, and a mass of zombies leaped down from the building.
They crashed directly into the ranks of skeletons.
Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they overturned a swath of skeletons.
At the same time, at the intersection, a Level 2 Mutated Big Guy charged into the Spear Array like a madman, swinging its arms wide.
The original formation was broken as it led the zombie horde in the charge.
“Red Crown, Barrel Attendant, go kill that Mutated Zombie and help the skeletons reorganize their formation.”
Two Skeleton Warriors, pulling out their weapons, quickly charged towards the Mutated Zombie ahead.
Lifting their Longswords again and again, they knocked the frenzied mutant to the ground and chopped off its head.
The warriors’ battle always concluded with a beheading.
It appeared to be a professional habit.
After the Mutated Zombie died, they started to kill the zombies who had broken through the defense line.
Forcefully driving them back, they reformed the defensive line.
Meanwhile, the corpse of the second Mutated Zombie was also dragged over.
Placed to one side.
At that moment, Xiao Xiao returned from the distance.
She said, “Uncle, I found the Big Head monsters, there are two, right by the shopping mall; there’s another big monster inside, with four legs, really ugly.”
Wu Heng looked in the direction Xiao Xiao pointed.
Far off by the shopping mall was a facade of black glass curtain walls.
“Let me see!”
Xiao Xiao slipped into his body, and the vision was shared.
Behind the third-floor glass curtain wall of the shopping center stood three Mutant Zombies.
Two Big Head zombies knelt on the ground, facing outward.
One bloated zombie, with four stout legs, petted the head of a Big Head zombie like one might a small dog, watching the charging horde outside.
Level 3 Mutant Zombies?
