The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 592: Chapter 488, Zombie King? Chapter 592: Chapter 488, Zombie King? “Please speak, and based on the importance of the intelligence, we will reward you with weapons and supplies,” said the voice on the radio.

Liu Chuang shifted forward, lowering his voice a few notches, “The King Yama from Xinfu City has come over here, preparing to hit the military factory.”

There was a sudden silence on the other end.

“Hello? Anyone there? Do you want this information or not?”

Liu Chuang asked, somewhat baffled by the lack of response.

From the news on the radio over the past two days, the two factions had argued several times over supplies.

Now, the people from Xinfu City are coming over to take over the factory.

The rescue team should have some thoughts on this, right?

Just as he was about to prompt them again, a response came from the other end.

It wasn’t the same operator as before but a slightly deep male voice.

“This is the rescue team, repeat what you just said. We will give you a corresponding reward,” the voice said.

Liu Chuang knew they must have taken it seriously now.

He immediately repeated everything in detail, including the appearance of the opposing leader and the number of vehicles they brought.

“Good. The rescue team will remember your contribution to this intelligence,” the voice continued, “When are you heading over?”

“We are about to set off.”

“Okay, understood. If conditions allow, continue to provide us with information.”

“Received!”

Liu Chuang hung up the communication, suddenly feeling much better.

Establishing a relationship with the provincial rescue team was also good for him.

Even if he switched sides in the future, he might be able to hold an official position, which would be better than his current situation.

He handed over his position to the woman guarding the radio.

And walked straight out of the room.

…

On the truck.

Several people were waiting.

Qi Hancai took a sip of water and said, “This Liu Chuang changes sides rather quickly. When he talked to me, he just wanted us to leave, afraid we might take a fancy to his refuge. But when he talked to you, he even agreed to go with us.”

“Don’t you like him?”

“Not as good-looking as you,” Qi Hancai smiled and then said, “He hasn’t chosen to join us but still wants to manage his own refuge. He’s very focused on power and interests.”

Wu Heng nodded, “It would be best if he honestly leads the way. If he has any little scheme, we can take over his refuge spot.”

While they were talking, Xiao Xiao returned from the direction of the service area.

Invisible, she leaned close to Wu Heng’s ear and whispered, “That big baddie is contacting others.”

Wu Heng’s brows raised.

Xiao Xiao then went straight into Wu Heng’s body.

She shared the visuals.

After Wu Heng and Qi Hancai left, Liu Chuang actually told the provincial rescue team about them, and they seemed very interested in the intelligence on Wu Heng.

Not only did they encourage Liu Chuang to keep gathering intelligence, but there were also hints of sending troops over.

In fact, this was a rare opportunity.

The rescue team had also tried to attack the factory but failed.

This time, with Wu Heng bringing his forces, whether or not they succeeded in battling the zombies in the factory,

Whether it’s taking advantage of the aftermath of the battle to seize the victory or directly capturing Wu Heng to demand a continuous supply of food from the base,

It was an excellent opportunity.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Hancai noticed something off in his expression.

Wu Heng smiled and said, “Liu Chuang has told the provincial rescue team about us, and it seems they are also planning to send people over.”

Qi Hancai’s brows shot up, not doubting the information Wu Heng provided.

She said angrily, “What is he doing? It harms others without benefiting himself, why?”

“He probably wants to exchange favors with the provincial side,” Wu Heng suggested.

“Let’s just take down the refuge,” Qi Hancai said directly.

“No rush, let’s wait until he leads us to the factory,” Wu Heng replied.

Wenshi needed to get the full story in one go, and if the route was complicated, it was difficult to clarify everything through questioning the dead.

It was still necessary for Liu Chuang to lead the way.

“Alright.”

At the service area,

a minivan pulled out.

Liu Chuang stuck his head out from the co-driver’s seat, “I’m ready over here; we’ll follow behind your convoy.”

Qi Hancai said, “You guide us. Ride with us, and the van will follow in the middle of the convoy.”

The door opened,

and two Skeletons got out, directly lifting Liu Chuang from the van and placing him in the back row of the truck,

sandwiched in the middle.

Liu Chuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile.

He felt that their attitude toward him had changed compared to before.

The minivan glanced at the convoy and also weaved its way into the middle.

“Let’s head out!” Wu Heng said.

Qi Hancai spoke into the walkie-talkie, “Depart.”

The convoy moved, speeding forward.

…

On Xinbiao Road.

It was a road specifically constructed for the factories in this area.

The road surface was smooth and there were no congested vehicles that one would find in the city.

On both sides were vast windbreak forests, but in winter, they were all covered with snow.

The convoy progressed smoothly all along the way.

After entering this road, the vehicles didn’t stop.

Along the way, the occasional scattered zombies were swiftly killed by the cavalry as they passed.

Their bodies were flung to the roadside.

“Just up ahead, that factory area is the place you’re looking for; I didn’t lie to you,” Liu Chuang said, looking down and pointing ahead through the front windshield.

Looking forward, one could see a vast factory complex.

Tall perimeter walls, barbed wire, and structures like watchtowers were spaced out along the wall.

Inside, some factory buildings and structures could be seen, resembling a small city.

“That’s it, chiefs, this is as far as we go. If we move forward, we might encounter zombies, and we wouldn’t be of any help, so we’ll not go any further,” said Liu Chuang, looking for an excuse to leave.

While he spoke, a voice from the lead vehicle came through the walkie-talkie.

“Sister Qi, we can see zombies wandering around the factory up ahead, getting any closer might start a battle,” the voice said.

Wu Heng said, “Stop the car.”

Qi Han Cai held the walkie-talkie and instructed, “Slow down, convoy, stop.”

The convoy began to slow down and pulled over to stop at the side.

With a single thought, Wu Heng sent out two Ghosts, who swiftly flew towards the distant factory for reconnaissance.

On the vehicle, Liu Chuang coughed lightly and said, “Well, we’ve arrived at our destination, we’re gonna head back now, and about the food you promised…”

“Don’t rush,” Wu Heng interrupted, taking out a map of the provincial city from the passenger’s side storage box and handing it over. “Help me mark the locations – the bustling commercial street, where the gold shops are concentrated, the locations of some important factories, and the location of the provincial rescue team.”

Mentioning the provincial rescue team made Liu Chuang’s heart skip a beat.

But he thought his communication with the rescue team shouldn’t be known.

“Okay, okay!” Liu Chuang nodded and began to mark the spots one by one.

“Done marking,” Liu Chuang handed the map back.

“Get out of the car,” Wu Heng commanded.

Liu Chuang carefully edged past Skeleton’s position, opened the door, got out, and walked towards his van.

Wu Heng glanced over and said to someone behind him, “Kerim, go kill that man and the two people with him.”

Kerim got out of the vehicle and walked quickly toward the van.

Liu Chuang panicked and began to run.

Kerim caught up within a few steps, and with his Longsword, he decapitated the man.

Then, he leaped onto the hood of the front car, the Longsword piercing through the glass to kill the driver in the driving seat, and with a twist of the sword, he killed the remaining person.

The movements were fluid and executed with clean precision.

“Sister Qi, King’s Skeleton has killed those people,” someone reported through the walkie-talkie.

Qi Han Cai responded, “It’s fine. They were passing our information to others, and it seems the King has found out.”

“Understood.”

Qi Han Cai continued, “A few of you come down and check what’s in the vehicle. For those who want to smoke or use the toilet, sort it out now.”

“Got it.”

Qi Han Cai got out of the vehicle, and the drivers of the following vehicles also opened their doors and began to step out for some fresh air.

After all, they had been traveling the entire day.

…

Inside the truck, only Wu Heng was left.

Soon, Xiao Xiao and Glenda returned from their exploration.

Xiao Xiao’s form gradually became visible. “Uncle, there are Second-level Mutated Zombies inside, as well as Third-level Evolved Zombies.”

Glenda also said from the other side, “Spirit Vision can also see the levels of the Mutated Zombies; it’s quite handy.”

Zombies do indeed have levels after transformation.

It should make sense for Spirit Vision to discern them.

“Are there many Mutated Zombies?” Wu Heng inquired.

Xiao Xiao nodded, “Quite a few, at least five or six, but it’s not much pressure for you, uncle. Even if there were more, it wouldn’t be as many as the time we fought the Pirates, where there were more high-level ones.”

“That was when all the major and minor Pirates of the Emerald Sea came, of course, there would be more high-level ones,” Glenda remarked.

“That’s exactly what I mean!” Xiao Xiao whispered, leaning on Wu Heng’s shoulder.

Wu Heng said, “Let me have a look, and then we’ll go take down the Zombies.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Xiao and Glenda burrowed into his body, front and back.

The next second, two sets of images were shared with him.

Within the vast courtyard, two Ghosts swiftly scoured through one building after another.

Many buildings were clearly damaged by major fires or explosions and were unrecognizable.

The rest also displayed varying degrees of damage.

There were at least five or six Second-level Mutated Zombies.

And in a room of an office building,

the figure of a Zombie appeared in the view.

Wearing a blood-stained suit, its head bloomed like layers of unfolding ‘Ganoderma’ fungus.

Between the crevices of the ‘Ganoderma,’ a pair of eyes watched.

They stared at the Ghost hovering in the air.

According to the level displayed, it was a Third-level Zombie.

But from its external appearance, it also somewhat matched the description of a Fourth-level Mutated Zombie that ‘Qi Han Cai’ had mentioned.

Zombie King?

The level wasn’t high enough.
