The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 83: Chapter 83, Big Head Ghost Spirit_l

Three mutated corpses were discarded at his feet.

Interestingly, two of them were Mutated Dogs, suggesting a high mutation

rate in dogs.

His gaze fell back on the big-headed zombie.

Its head was brutally kicked apart, resulting in a horrific death.

The strengths and weaknesses of the big-headed zombie were clear: it could remotely control other zombies, but close combat and movement were its weak points.

Once ‘Bawudong’ got close to it, killing it was not a problem.

Leaving Bawudong and some nearby skeletons to guard him, Wu Heng cast the

Bone Manipulation Skill on the big-headed zombie alone.

Necromancy magic slowly enveloped the corpse.

[The summoned creature exceeds the caster’s ability range, instability factor

increases…]

The slightly unstable prompt appeared, indicating that the corpse’s level was above 5.

Flesh on the big-headed corpse gradually flaked off, revealing the stark white

bones that stood to attention.

The striking skull appeared as if it was topped with a balloon.

The eyes were far larger than those of a regular skeleton and flickering within them was a bluish flame of Soul Fire.

[Skeleton Spirit Demon (Level 10)]

The name had changed to Spirit Demon.

That was somewhat different.

When ‘Big Guy’ at level 11 had been transformed, the prompt still called it a

Skeleton Warrior, only its attributes had been enhanced.

But now, this big-headed skeleton before him had a completely new name.

The big-headed skeleton turned its hollow skull slightly, as if observing its surroundings.

[Skeleton Spirit Demon (Level 10)]

[Level: 10 (0/52000)]

[Attributes: Constitution 14, Strength 12, Agility 6, Intelligence 16, Perception

15, Charm 5]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul]

[Expertise: Soul Mutation, Biological Aberration]

[Abilities: Soul Commander, Hive Mind]

[Soul Mutation: Intelligence +4.]

[Biological Aberration: Intelligence +1, Perception +1, Agility -3.]

[Soul Commander: Through mastering soul nodes, can issue commands to

many soldiers of the same faction.]

[Hive Mind: ‘Skeleton Spirit Demons’ within the range belong to the same soul node. Their mental induction can be transmitted to neighboring ‘Skeleton Spirit Demons’ at any time to jointly establish a ‘primary brain ].

Looking at the big-headed creature’s attributes, Wu Heng frowned slightly.

The overall attribute value was weak.

In terms of physical fitness, it was not much different from an ordinary zombie, with agility as low as 6 points, a bit too low.

Intelligence and perception had increased to 16 and 15, which were relatively high among converted skeletons.

That was understandable, since the big-headed zombie was already physically weak and its main feature was controlling other zombies. However, this was excessively weak for a level 10 creature.

Looking further down, apart from the two expertise areas of mutation.

Two new ‘abilities’ were added.

[Soul Commander] can issue commands to soldiers of the same faction through soul nodes.

This ability, which allowed it to control zombies, was preserved after conversion.

It felt like a good ability, as it could issue commands to the skeletons.

The second ability, called [Hive Mind], felt more like the ability of a Zerg in

Starcraft than a zombie ability.

The introduction mentioned that it could transmit mental induction to nearby ‘Skeleton Spirit Demons’ to establish a unified ‘primary brain.

Wu Heng read it several times and sort of grasped its intended meaning.

In other words, the ‘Skeleton Spirit Demons’ within range had established a

WeChat group, where they could share any information.

If that was really what it did, then this Spirit Demon had a significant role.

It could establish an extensive network.

And achieve information sharing on that network.

“From now on, you’ll be known as N0.1 Big Head,” Wu Heng assigned it a name on the spot.

The Skeleton Spirit Demon gave no response and simply stood still.

“Come out and stand to the side.”

Big-headed Skeleton followed the order, obediently standing to one side. Although its movement remained slow, its head, now a mere skull, was no longer heavy. It no longer wobbled after taking a few steps as it had done before.

Picking up the kitchen knife of a skeleton beside him, he searched the ground and found a level two Corpse Core.

He put it into a plastic bag and continued to use Bone Manipulation Skill on the other two Mutated Dogs.

Two level 5 Skeleton Dogs stood up, shook their bodies, and ran to one side.

Wu Heng found two more level one Corpse Cores in the corpses.

Three Corpse Cores, one level ten skeleton, two level five skeletons.

The gains were quite good.

After transforming three Mutated Zombies, he cast his eyes on the street.

The entire street was in ruins.

Wrecked cars emitting thick smoke, flames’ heatwaves, bodies covering the ground.

It was like a road leading to hell.

It was ghastly and terrifying.

Wu Heng glanced at Big Head Skeleton on one side and said: “Have the skeletons bring back the bodies.”

The next second.

All the skeletons that had been waiting on the spot began to move, dragging the bodies of the zombies on the ground, and walked towards him.

It really worked!

And the effect was not bad either.

This Big Head Skeleton might be more useful than he thought.

Continuing, he said: “Have the skeletons pile up the bodies inside the community, the rest put out the fire.

The skeletons began to divide their forces.

Some were dragging bodies into the community, while others began to collect some soil to put in the street fire.

With the Big Head Skeleton, he just needed to stand still and command.

After all the bodies were dragged into the community, the buildings on both sides were charred by the fire.

The windows on the first and second floor were already shattered, the fire was put out separately.

It took a lot of time to clean up the battlefield and finish the work.

Now it seemed almost done.

Wu Heng then said to the Big Head Skeleton: “Take some skeletons, clean up the zombies nearby, don’t hurt humans, if humans attack first, you can counterattack.”

The great battle attracted a lot of zombies, making the surroundings a bit chaotic again.

It needed cleaning up, and at the same time, he had to remind the Big Head Skeleton not to kill the guys at the auto repair shop.

The entire skeleton group had soul skeletons practicing spears and swords on the rooftop.

The Big Head Skeleton, commanding about five hundred ordinary skeletons, went around the community to patrol and kill zombies.

Returning to Black Stone Town, Wu Heng washed himself and changed his clothes.

When things were mostly sorted out, he went straight to the Associators’ Association.

Upon entering the small squad’s break room, it was empty.

It felt like the work atmosphere of the entire fourth squad was terrible, no one came to the association anymore.

He filled out three Corpse Core orders in the rest room.

And submitted them to the reception in the main hall.

When he returned to the rest room to retrieve his stuff, he saw ‘Slyther’, clad in a long dress, leading a Cheetah coming towards him.

“Vice-executive!” Wu Heng took the initiative to greet her.

“Seeing you in the association isn’t an easy feat.” Slyther said.

“Um, our squad is on vacation, so we don’t come often.” Wu Heng made an

excuse.

Slyther looked at him curiously, and then asked: “Got a girlfriend?

■’No, why ask?” Wu Heng did not understand why she suddenly said that. Slyther looked him up and down and said, “It feels like you’re different. I thought all of you in the fourth team were looking for girlfriends!” This guy was really well-informed.

He must have discovered something about the captain.

“If I were to look for one, it would be someone like the Vice-executive.” Wu Heng said directly.

“Oh? You like older ones?” Slyther raised her brow.

“No, I just like beautiful ones.”

Slyther’s mouth curled up a bit, as if she appreciated this sentence.

“Kid, I think you just want to deceive me for money…” She said..
