The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

The already tense guards immediately become even more anxious.

The searchlight was continuously sweeping over the darkness below.

Rifles were being raised, also in search of the source of the noise.

But despite the searchlight covering every bit of the area below, not a single figure could be spotted.

The mosquitoes and moths that usually hovered around the searchlight were also nowhere to be found today.

It was eerily empty.

Still, the ‘tap-tap-tap’ knocking sound persisted, getting closer and clearer.

The less they could see, the more everyone became anxious.

With grave expressions, cold sweat was streaming down their faces.

Just as everyone was peering down below…

“Ah~, save, save me!”

Suddenly, from the tower next to them, a cry of agony rang out.

Everyone was startled, immediately lifting their heads to look.

A gigantic spider was climbing up the tower. Its limb, sharp as a blade, pierced through a man’s chest. Its fierce jaws were wide open, and under everyone’s gaze, bit off half of a head.

The body hanging from its limb immediately sagged down.

No signs of life remaining.

Everyone had their eyes wide open, looking disbelievingly at the scene before them.

How was this possible.

How could there be a spider that large.

“Shoot, don’t fucking stand there!” someone shouted.

The crowd frantically disengaged the safety and began to aim at the monster above them.

With one bite, the spider crushed the searchlight atop the tower.

Instantly, an area was plunged into darkness.

And in that darkness, on the back of the enormous spider, a large patch of black was spreading like melting ink.

It swarmed up the tower and the exterior wall.

BANG BANG BANG~!

Gunshots were fired, the bullets directed at the approaching black torrent.

PLOP PLOP PLOP~!

Sounds of bullets piercing echoed.

The spiders in the front row were shot to pieces.

“It’s spiders, bullets can kill them.” someone shouted.

But the next second, BANG~, the fallen spiders suddenly burst, a dense yellow smoke instantly spreading.

The nearby guards covered their mouths and noses, coughing loudly, and fell to the ground.

Soon after, they were swallowed up by the swarm of spiders, disappearing out of sight.

“Ah~!”

“It’s spiders, damn it, it’s spiders!”

“Run, these things are poisonous when killed.”

“Keep shooting, anyone who dares to run, I’ll kill him myself.”

“Fucking hell, you stay and wait for death then.”

The situation on the surrounding wall became chaotic.

Dense smoke began to spread, the people left behind were swallowed up by the spiders one by one.

More people began to flee, tangling with those blocking the way behind.

They began to fire at each other, shooting each other down.

This infighting amongst the guards hastened the spiders’ advance.

The black swarm of spiders, like a flood, killed all the guards along the perimeter wall and continued rushing towards the nearby wall.

The Spider Mother followed behind, its ferocious giant jaw spewing out a human head.

She spat spider silk at the crowd running in the distance.

Binding them in place, she quickly climbed over, spun a web, and hung it on the wall.

…

Panic quickly spread throughout the prison.

Even if people didn’t know what was happening, they started glancing around, no longer wanting to keep fighting.

They tried to escape, or find somewhere to take cover.

The entire prison was in chaos.

Supply and transportation instantly came to a halt.

There were no people left to carry the bullets and gasoline to the top of the wall, they were all running around with the crowd instead.

The front wall was still holding off the attack.

But everyone was becoming terrified and uneasy, constantly looking at the restless crowd behind them.

They wanted to figure out what exactly was going on.

Chen Jinlong’s face was also turning ugly.

“Damn useless bunch, they can’t even guard a wall.”

They could hold off such a dense crowd of skeleton monsters in front, but they couldn’t defend the wall behind them.

They were all just a pack of useless good-for-nothings.

BANG BANG~!

Chen Jinlong fired two bullets at a man who tried to get off the wall and yelled, “Keep shooting, anyone who dares to run, I’ll kill him first.”

In the prison, Chen Jinlong held enough deterrence.

With one fierce scolding, everyone returned to their posts, continuing to fire their guns.

However, amidst the increasing chaos at the rear, the constant sounds of crawling close to their ears added heavy pressure.

THUD THUD~!

At the foot of the wall.

A group of towering skeletons arrived at the gates.

They were holding fire axes in their hands, beginning to hack at the iron gate, creating a loud hammering sound.

“Quick, get the gasoline, burn these monsters,” someone shouted.

But there was no response from behind.

Quickly turning around, they discovered that most of the people had run away, even Chen Jinlong was nowhere to be found.

Looking around again, a large number of spiders were rapidly spreading towards them.

SHIT~!

A man cursed, firing a few quick shots at the spiders nearby, then stumbled and ran towards the bottom of the building.

In the blink of an eye, the top of the wall was empty, only filled with a large number of black spiders.

The iron gate below was not yet opened.

The skeleton group had already climbed up the wall and opened the iron gate from the inside.

A large number of skeletons flooded into the prison.

Behind the wall, there was still a large section of metal wire fence.

But this stuff, facing a large number of skeleton groups, was simply knocked to the ground.

The skeleton group directly slaughtered the humans scampering inside.

Taking over the walls came with some difficulties.

However, being in an open area, the skeletons had the upper hand. At least they were dealing with fleeing humans.

Soon, the sounds of battle from the prison ceased.

A dense assembly of skeletons filled up the open ground, surrounding a few buildings completely.

…

Outside the prison.

Xiao Xiao returned from afar and reported, “Uncle, all the bad guys have hidden in the buildings, and the skeletons have surrounded them.”

“Are they all inside?” Wu Heng was still a bit worried.

After all, bullets could be deadly.

Being shot dead from some unknown corner would surely be the end of him.

“Yes, they’ve all hidden inside.”

“Let me see!” Wu Heng allowed Xiao Xiao to merge into his body, sharing Xiao Xiao’s recent vision.

He saw the situation inside the prison.

The entire prison had been entirely overrun by skeletons.

Not many of the living humans Xiao Xiao had referred to were left.

The skeletons likely killed them in the chaos.

Wu Heng carefully scanned twice.

After confirming that there shouldn’t be any danger, he led Li Yahong and the skeletons, including Basen and Bawudong, straight into the prison within the enclosure.

The ground was littered with corpses.

Wu Heng’s order had been to kill the humans bearing weapons. Those who had died outside were presumably Chen Jinlong’s men.

The prison was even more spacious than he had imagined.

There was a basketball court, vast empty spaces, and several buildings. Unless you knew it was a prison, you would have thought it was a factory area.

The interior was eerily quiet.

No sounds could be heard.

“Xiao Xiao, find that person who was insultingly shouting from the wall,” Wu Heng instructed.

Chen Jinlong was probably still alive.

They hadn’t seen his body along the way.

“Ok!” Xiao Xiao flew out straight away.

Soon, she flew back.

Pointing at a distant building, she reported, “That bad guy is in a room on the fourth floor of that building.”

“How many people?”

“Four people. In addition to him, there are three women,” Xiao Xiao replied.

Wu Heng nodded and gave an instruction, “Avoid the windows, let’s head over there.”

…

On the fourth floor, at the doorway.

The skeleton troops were crowded in the hallway.

From the other side, a man’s voice could be heard, “You guys from the auto repair shop, I know it’s you. We are all survivors. Why are we trying to wipe each other out?”

Wu Heng glanced at Li Yahong who responded directly, “You were the first to try and wipe us out. We’re just fighting back.”

“Don’t talk like that. I was wrong this time. I apologize to you all. Please give me a chance to live!” the voice from the room continued.

“Your apology is a bit too late,” Li Yahong retorted.

Wu Heng gestured to Basen, who leaned forward and pulled out a wire to pick the lock on the door.

He had a bronze key.

But considering the current situation, he didn’t plan to use it.

“We are all survivors. There are few of us left alive. If you spare my life, I’ll be indebted to you,” The man inside the room continued to plead.

After Basen failed to open the lock, he returned and reported his failure.

Wu Heng lost his patience and ordered Big Guy and Second Chunk, “Break the door down.”

The two giant skeletons donned armor themselves, lowering their body, ready to rush forward.

Then they suddenly sprang into action.

With a bang, they collided with the steel door.

The strong steel door instantly caved in.

Second Chunk continued to charge forward. Another loud bang resulted in further dents on the door.

“Damn, you guys are coming after me hard, huh? I’ve rigged the whole building with explosives! If need be, we’ll all go down together!” The man in the room continued to curse.

Li Yahong looked at Wu Heng in terror. He shook his head in response.

He had already instructed Xiao Xiao to examine the room.

Apart from Chen Jinlong, there were three women inside.

There definitely were no explosives, and the sudden nature of their attack didn’t afford the enemy time to plant explosives.

Boom, boom, boom!

Big Guy and Second Chunk alternately struck the anti-theft door.

This massive force caused the entire building to shake continuously.

The marks on the door grew larger and the door grew more fragile.

Boom~!

The anti-theft door was violently flung open and Big Guy charged into the room.

Bang Bang~!

Two gunshots were fired.

Chen Jinlong was carrying a shotgun and fired two shots.

The bullets hit the steel armor on Big Guy, leaving a honeycomb-shaped dent.

The power of the shotgun forced Big Guy to retreat a few steps, falling to the ground.

But Big Guy stood up quickly.

Inside the room, Chen Jinlong glanced at the crowd of skeletons blocking the outer hallway.

“Damn, I’ll kill you all sooner or later,” he swore.

He grabbed a woman who was crouching in the corner and held her by the neck before jumping out of the window.

The woman’s face was filled with terror.

In mid-air, Chen Jinlong’s body began to change. His skin turned red and veins popped out. Excess fat seemed to burn away, revealing sharp muscle lines.

Bang~!

Chen Jinlong coiled his body and landed on the woman.

Then he staggered up and limped away.

“He really did awaken a superpower,” Wu Heng was a bit surprised.
