Chapter 308: Chapter 253, They Can’t Chop Us Up Too, Right? (Seeking monthly passes, nearly 1000 left, thanks brothers.)

How is that possible?

What superpower could control so many skeletons.

At the bus station, people who came for material exchange could see the skeletons that followed the team’s training.

Going back and forth, there were just over twenty in total.

But now…

The number of skeletons had exceeded their expectations.

The skeletons, each clad in armor, wielding various weapons,

looked like soldiers from ancient times.

The people from Dongan Shelter were all stupefied in their vehicles.

The anger of being overlooked that had risen in their hearts dissipated the moment they saw the Skeleton Army.

In comparison, their own side truly had no right to be taken seriously.

“Big sister, is this Li Yahong’s superpower?” someone in the car asked.

Qi Hancai shook her head, “No, Li Yahong’s superpower is fire-related, like Ma Zhiyong’s; this power should be King Yama’s ability.”

“They have three superpowered individuals?”

According to several people’s guess,

the one who scouted the community information must be a superpowered individual; Li Yahong is fire-based, and the legendary King Yama controls skeletons.

This auto repair shop suddenly gathered three superpowered individuals.

“That’s not right, with three superpowered individuals, why is Li Yahong the leader?”

“She might be responsible for planning the whole shelter!”

Qi Hancai didn’t speak.

Her gaze landed on the position of a passenger bus.

The bus door opened, and Li Yahong dressed in a stab-proof vest stepped out.

Following her was a man in black leather armor, wearing a leather helmet but judging from his stance and the way he moved, he appeared to be quite young.

After the man, numerous tall and strong figures followed.

All of them were skeletons.

King Yama…

…

Outside the community.

The Skeleton Army rapidly assembled in formation, entering a combat state.

Wu Heng and Li Yahong, accompanied by a few special skeletons, entered the midst of the Skeleton Army.

Once everything was ready,

they directly gave the command, “Advance!”

Rustle rustle~!

The skeletons began to move, marching forward in formation.

The sound of bones rubbing and armor clashing formed a continuous clangor.

As the army moved forward, they immediately attracted the attention of the zombies.

Emitting angry roars, they charged forward.

But as soon as they got close, they were knocked down by the skeletons and killed as they passed.

When the army reached the gate,

the roaring of the zombies in the community followed one after another, spreading throughout the entire complex like a chain reaction.

Masses of zombies surged out from the stairs and alleys; zombies from the upper floors broke through the windows, following the falling shards of glass like dumplings dropping from the sky.

They thumped onto the ground.

The horde of zombies converged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire road was swarming with them, a dark mass.

Roar roar roar~!

The intense roars echoed throughout the area.

Qi Hancai and the others hiding in their SUV abruptly stopped chatting and looked toward the source of the roars.

They tensed up mentally.

Even though their view was blocked by the skeleton crowd, the intensity of the roars indicated an astonishing number of zombies were approaching.

Were they planning to take them on directly?

…

The horde of zombies, carrying a stench that filled the sky, surged forward violently.

They jostled and trampled each other, scrambling and tumbling.

Wu Heng glanced at the horde; he could see a second-level mutant zombie nearly three meters tall in the back,

standing on top of a sedan, staring blankly this way.

But the level 3 mutant zombie had not appeared.

Was it hiding?

Or was it lurking in the dark, waiting to launch a surprise attack?

Wu Heng released “Xiao Xiao” and “Glenda,” allowing the two ghosts to search for targets nearby.

At the same time, he ordered the Big Head Skull, “Allow the crossbowmen to fire at will.”

The crossbow strings twanged sharply.

Crossbow arrows whooshed out, directly aiming at the opposition.

Instantly, the zombies at the front were pierced by the crossbow arrows, tripping over a swath of the horde.

They continued to tumble forward.

The crossbowmen kept reloading and firing.

There was no need to aim; firing forward was enough to hit the targets.

After five or six volleys, the horde started to get even closer.

“Crossbowmen retreat, throw the spears!”

Rustle rustle~!

Under the command of the Big Head Skull,

the crossbowmen quickly retreated to the back from both sides, and even more spears were thrown out.

Ding ding dang dang~!

Iron spears fell from the sky, and again a swath of zombies collapsed to the ground.

The horde closed in to 30 meters.

Wu Heng cast [Grease Skill] and [Fireball Spell], and flames surged into the sky. Yet the zombies, undeterred, charged straight into the inferno.

They continued through the fire and crashed into the spear array of the skeleton ranks.

Thump thump thump~!

The spears instantly pierced through bodies as the zombies clawed and jostled forward.

They were wholly engulfed in the close-quarter battle to the death.

The crossbowmen behind, meanwhile, lobbed shots into the sky, the crosbow arrows arcing over the skeletons and plunging into the crowded mass of advancing zombies.

“Summon the Skeleton Dragon,” Wu Heng continued to direct.

In the midst of battle, there was no need to keep increasing the number of troops.

But having just acquired the Skeleton Flying Dragon, he was keen to test its combat capabilities.

Since they had brought it along, they might as well see its effect.

At that moment, from the position of the convoy, a whistling sound tore through the air.

Flapping its fleshy wings, the Skeleton Flying Dragon swooped over the battlefield.

It swept through the zombie crowd, its sharp claws instantly seizing several zombies and flinging them into the air, smashing them into a pulp upon descent amidst a series of splatting sounds.

…

The sky gradually darkened.

But the firelight from the battle zone grew only brighter.

The orange glow of fire, the zombies’ shrieks, the sounds of swords chopping flesh, and the circling bone dragon.

All these elements combined into an unbelievable tableau.

“Who’s shaking their leg? Stop that, people outside might think we’re rocking the vehicle!”

“How do they even have a dragon?”

“Skeletons are standing up and slashing at people, so having a dragon… Weird? You’re the one trembling, why the more we talk, the more excited you get?”

“Damn it, I can’t control it.”

“You’ve killed zombies too, are you really that scared?”

“Is it the same? Just hearing this chopping sound makes me feel queasy. It’s over, they won’t chop us up too, will they?”

The instant those words were spoken, the inside of the vehicle fell silent.

Several people all turned to look at Qi Hancai.

Qi Hancai turned back and glared at them, “Killing zombies yields Corpse Cores and supplies, killing you lot yields nothing.”

“Right!”

…

Whoosh~ Bang!

Battery cars, one after the other, were hurled into the ranks of skeletons.

They smashed through a swath of skeletons.

Then, with a skyward roar, it barreled through the zombies blocking its path and charged forward.

“Here comes a Mutated Zombie,” Li Yahong immediately declared.

After throwing a few battery cars, the Mutated Zombie finally decided to charge over instead of continuously hurling objects from a distance.

“Don’t rush, wait for it to get closer,” Wu Heng said plainly.

Soon, the Mutated Zombie charged to the front of the ranks and let out a loud roar, ramming forward.

But suddenly, a gap opened in the skeleton ranks.

A tall figure clad in iron armor charged directly forward to meet it.

Bang~!

A dull thud sounded as the two sturdy bodies collided.

The immense force caused both behemoths to stagger back two steps, but after steadying themselves, they lurched sideways and crashed forward again.

Bang~!

After another thudding impact,

Second Chunk, the Scary Claw Monster and several Mutated Skeletons, seizing the opportunity, swarmed in the middle with surprise.

Huge fists slammed onto its body, and sharp, gigantic claws tore open gaping wounds on its back.

A look of fear appeared on the ferocious face of the Mutated Zombie.

It tried to flee.

In the moment it turned, the Scary Claw Monster leaped onto it, bringing it down.

The rest of the skeletons rushed over, furiously slamming the body of the Mutated Zombie, their roars filled with anger as the sound of breaking bones faintly emerged.

Wu Heng’s gaze didn’t linger too heavily on the Level 2 Mutant Zombies.

With the current situation, such zombies posed little threat to him as long as their numbers weren’t too high.

What concerned him instead was the Level 3 Mutant Zombie.

It had yet to appear.

Had it fled?

It was then that Xiao Xiao emerged from the side of a building, pointing to its rear, “Uncle, that big black gorilla is over there.”

No sooner had she finished speaking,

Boom~!

A thunderous roar as one side of the concrete wall was suddenly smashed open, creating a massive hole.

Through the rising dust cloud,

The tremendous Level 3 Mutant Zombie set its gaze on the rear of the skeleton troops.

Roar~!

With a ferocious bellow,

Its body, like an out-of-control tank, furiously charged towards the position of Wu Heng and Li Yahong.
