The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 151: Chapter 146, Fear not the zombies, but them?_1

The sudden noise startled the three people hiding in the vegetable cellar, changing their expressions drastically.

The female student, holding onto Doctor Shen, turned deathly pale. Tears streamed down her face as she glared at the male student next to her, who was holding an iron rod.

She blamed him for his carelessness, for not realizing they had been followed.

But none of the three said a word, maintaining as much silence as they could.

In their hearts, they wished for the people, or whatever creatures outside, to leave quickly.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Then, from overhead came a woman’s voice, saying, “We are from an auto repair shop. You must have heard us on the radio. We can negotiate. If you want, you can leave with us. How long can you hide in there? You have to come out sooner or later.”

The three people looked at each other.

In their eyes, they saw confusion.

A radio? An auto repair shop? They had never heard of it.

But clearly, the people above knew they were hiding there.

The male student whispered, “Doctor Shen, it’s probably not Yang Yitian and his group. It might be the Skeletons we saw earlier.”

The female doctor’s face turned even more ashen. She hesitated for a moment, then, looking at the entrance to the cellar, asked, “You won’t hurt us?”

The voice from above continued to come down. “If we wanted to harm you, we would have broken in already. We have a survivor base. If you don’t want to starve to death here, come out quickly.”

The three whispered among themselves.

They decided to go out and talk to the other party.

As the other party said, if they wanted to do something, they could have stormed in and killed the three of them straight away.

No need for all this unnecessary talk.

“Okay, we’ll come out!” the female doctor said.

Then she climbed the iron ladder first and opened the entrance to the vegetable cellar.

The glare from the bright sunlight blinded them.

After their vision gradually adjusted, they saw a woman in a blue anti-stab suit standing not far away.

Behind her were dozens of skeletons wearing leather armor and wielding spears.

Real skeletons!

The eyes of the female doctor bulged in shock and horror.

“We are survivors from the auto repair shop. The zombies nearby have been cleared out. You can come with us or stay here.” Li Yahong was the first to speak.

Horror still filled the female doctor’s eyes as she looked at her, then the skeletons behind her, asking, “What are these?”

Li Yahong glanced back and explained, “Awakened superpowers, capable of controlling skeletons.”

“Superpowers? What superpowers?”

Li Yahong frowned at her before snapping, “Don’t you have a radio? Don’t you know what’s happening outside?”

“We don’t!” the female doctor replied.

At this point, the other two students in school uniforms also emerged.

The boy had one hand in his pocket, and from the shape of his trouser leg, he clearly had an iron rod tucked inside.

“We now communicate with the outside world through radios. The main station releases survival information, types of zombies, their weaknesses, and also superpowers. Those who have awakened superpowers can acquire many abilities, these skeletons are just one type.” Li Yahong gave a brief explanation.

The woman seemed a little bewildered by what she heard, but it was clear that the other party had no ill intent, at least they were willing to explain to her.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Li Yahong continued, “Alright, let’s get to the point. Are you staying or coming with us? If you choose to come with us, you must take the work assigned to you. It might be tiring, but it’s safe, and you won’t go hungry.”

Both students looked at the female doctor at the front.

“What kind of work?” the female doctor asked.

“Special occupations or skills can be used. If you don’t have any, you can do some physical labor.”

“I’m a doctor, and these two are still students.”

Hearing she was a doctor, Li Yahong gave her another look and replied, “As a doctor, you can tend to everyone’s health. As for the students, you can learn some skills. In this situation, if you want to survive, you have to do something, no one will carry the load for you.”

The three didn’t discuss it further. The female doctor agreed right away.

“Alright, we’ll go with you.”

Li Yahong nodded.

Having a doctor on board was no small gain.

Although there was already a doctor at the prison, it was always good to have more for these crucial jobs.

Moreover, doctors are trained in different specialties, so having more was a safeguard.

“Alright, come with me. It’s not as good as before, but at least it’s safe, and you won’t starve.” Li Yahong said.

“We have some rice and vegetables down there. Should we bring it?” the female doctor asked again.

“Bring them!”

The male student said, “I’ll get them.”

He pulled out the iron rod from his trouser leg and tossed it aside, running down and carrying a nearly empty bag of rice and some necessities back up.

Li Yahong didn’t say anything more and led them out of the small courtyard.

Once they stepped out, the three of them turned paler. They quickly followed behind Li Yahong.

The entire alley was densely packed with skeletons.

Among them were a few that were clearly animal skeletons, their tails wagging frantically, just like dogs.

Wu Heng was waiting at the alley entrance.

Watching as they came out, he nodded, “Let’s go!”

“Okay!”

The large group moved again, returning to where their trucks were parked.

…

Soon, they returned to where the trucks were parked.

Standing there, Wu Heng and Li Yahong simultaneously furrowed their brows.

There was no vehicle to be seen here.

Without question, something must have gone wrong.

“What’s going on?” Wu Heng asked.

Li Yahong also shook her head.

“There shouldn’t be any problems. If there were zombies or any danger, Qiangzi and the others would inform us via radio. Something must have happened,” Li Yahong analyzed.

It’s impossible that the people in the convoy drove away to betray them and escape.

Here, with Wu Heng, they had food and drink. Once they were moved to the prison, their living conditions would even improve.

It would be very hard for them to survive if they ran away on their own.

So, they didn’t suspect that they had left. Instead, they suspected that they had encountered some danger.

At this point, a male student from the back carrying a bag of rice stepped forward and said, “They might have been captured by ‘Yang Yitian’.”

Wu Heng turned around to look at him.

His face and uniform were all grubby.

“Yang Yitian? Also a survivor?”

The male student put down the bag of rice and said, “Yang Yitian and his group rob people. There were a few survivors who were lured to the zombies by the noise they made and were bitten to death.”

“This Yang Yitian, is he also from your village?”

“No, not far from the village, there is a main road with fewer cars. They often ride motorcycles there. There are quite a few people in the village who mix with them. When the zombie outbreak occurred, they should have been nearby and then fled to the village,” the male student explained.

“How many of them are there?”

“Six people.”

Six people? If there are only six people, it might not necessarily be enough to beat those from the convoy.

The male student saw the doubt in Wu’s eyes and said, “They have guns. I don’t know where they got them from, otherwise I wouldn’t be afraid of them.”

Guns?

This indeed complicated things.

“What kind of gun?”

“Handguns!”

Wu Heng nodded, indicating he understood, and continued to ask, “Do you know where they are?”

“Yes, just over there.”

On one side, Lieyi conducted a check at the original location.

And pointed towards the same direction.

“Move, let’s go over there.” Wu Heng gave the order, and the team began to head towards the direction.

…

On the other side.

Yang Yitian walked around the military vehicle, patted the side steel plate with satisfaction and said, “This car’s modifications are quite impressive.”

They were also into vehicles, but what they were into were motorcycles.

Even if they had the tools to modify the car into this condition, they wouldn’t have the ability.

“Yang, those people might be dangerous. They have military radios in their cars; we might be in trouble,” somebody reminded him.

Yang Yitian turned around and kicked him, cursing, “You’re a scaredy-cat. At a time like this, what are you afraid of? We’re already in a fight for survival. We’re not afraid of zombies, so why would we be afraid of them?”

“Exactly, we’ve already robbed them, what’s there to be afraid of? Even if people come, we’ll just run.”

“You’re right, who’s afraid of who at this point.”

“Yang, what should we do with the drivers?” someone continued to ask.

While walking back, Yang Yitian asked, “Did you get anything out of them?”

“Yes, they said they came from an auto repair shop. They came here to find steel,” someone following behind replied.

“Find steel for what? To eat?”

“They say they need it to build barriers and stuff.”

“That makes sense, if we could build some barriers, we can also add a layer to our yard,” Yang Yitian realized and continued to ask, “Are there any other people with them?”

“They say there are two more who went to find the warehouse.”

“Damn, two people dared to leave. Are they not afraid of being fully eaten by zombies? I suppose there must be at least five or six more.”

“Yeah, what Yang said makes sense, what should we do with these people?” continued the same person.

After a moment’s thought, Yang Yitian said, “Keeping them alive would waste our food. Kill …”

Stomp, stomp, stomp~!

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden rush of footsteps came from afar.

Looking back, they saw several extraordinarily large skeletal animals rapidly running towards them.

They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, unable to believe what was happening.

Damn it, Zombies are one thing, but now even bones have started moving?

“What are you waiting for, shoot quickly….”

Bang~!

Just as he was shouting, a loud gunshot sounded from afar.

Yang Yitian’s head exploded in an instant and he fell back onto the ground.

The rest of them hurriedly drew their guns. Before they could shoot, they saw that Yang Yitian, who had fallen to the ground, was missing half of his head.

“Damn it.”

Looking up, they saw on the distant rooftop.

There stood a skeleton, holding a sniper rifle.
