The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 316: 261 Chapter, Amphibious

Dongan Village is a large shelter in this area.

Even without a development like the auto repair shop, they shouldn’t worry about food and clothing.

But it’s easy to understand why “Qi Hancai” would want to join.

At the time, during the attack on the residential compound, the Skeleton Army displayed absolutely shocking combat power, which surely left a deep impression on the people of Dongan Village.

And this world wouldn’t change much in a year or two—joining the auto repair shop earlier would mean not only safety but also being considered one of the old-timers.

“What do you think?” Wu Heng asked Li Yahong.

“I think there is no problem with Dongan Village wanting to join. With the strength of our shelter, it’s enough to keep them in line,” Li Yahong analyzed.

This wasn’t much different from what Wu Heng had in mind.

Having survivors with awakened superpowers join the base wasn’t a bad thing.

Moreover, with Wu Heng’s current strength, he wasn’t worried that she might have ideas about seizing power.

“Hmm, we think alike…”

Li Yahong smiled, “I was just saying, though. Whether they actually want to join or not is another matter.”

Wu Heng nodded and continued, “Let’s go, let’s head to the warehouse.”

…

The two headed to the warehouse where they had transformed the Flying Dragon.

Wu Heng took out the body he had obtained.

A skeleton came forward and cut the thin rope around it.

As the grass mat was unfolded, the smooth, stitched-up corpse was revealed.

Wu Heng immediately released the Bone Manipulation Skill.

The flesh slowly shed away, and the corpse rose from the ground.

The corpse in front of him was somewhat different from the usual skeletons.

Its head was flat and wide, its teeth saw-like, and its skeletal fingers and toes were connected to white webbing.

It was indeed a descendant of the Merfolk.

[Skeleton Boxer (Level 13)]

[Level: 13]

[Attributes: Constitution 28, Strength 25, Agility 30, Intelligence 14, Perception 19, Charm 4.]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Mid-tier Soul, Amphibious, Qi.]

[Expertise: Scale Armor Expertise (Mid-tier), Fighting Expert (High-tier), Navigation (High-tier), Ship Repair (Mid-tier), Drill Ship (Mid-tier), Move Underwater.]

[Abilities: Shock Fist, Capture Flying Arrow, Biting.]

[Move Underwater]: Movement speed increased by 40% in water.

[Amphibious]: This unit can breathe normally in both water and air.

Fist Master.

The same profession as Bawudong.

But in terms of attributes, Bawudong was more specialized than him.

Whereas this Fist Master’s focus was on being amphibious and moving quickly in the water.

This was also why the association always had such a hard time capturing him.

If he detected danger, he’d jump into the sea and escape, and normal professionals simply couldn’t catch him underwater.

If they followed him into the water, it wasn’t clear who would end up killing whom.

Among the expertise, there were also terms like Navigation and Ship Repair—years of being a pirate meant he did all sorts of jobs.

There was also one called Drill Ship, attacking from below the ship, which seemed to be a rather good tactic.

“From now on, you’ll be called Shark Teeth!” Wu Heng named him.

Shark Teeth showed no reaction and walked to the side.

“Why does he look different from normal skeletons?” Li Yahong asked.

Wu Heng was a bit at a loss for words, then said, “It’s similar to a mutation, changes that occurred due to the living environment.”

“Oh!” Li Yahong nodded and didn’t ask more.

Wu Heng continued, “Get someone to find a set of clothes, and then bring over a motorcycle helmet.”

“Okay.”

Li Yahong gave the orders through the walkie-talkie.

Soon, someone delivered a set of ordinary clothes and a black full-face helmet.

After dressing Shark Teeth, they left with the team.

The two strolled around the base.

Li Yahong went to the canteen for a meal while Wu Heng returned to his room.

He went through the boundary door to Gold and Silver Island.

…

He lowered the Illuminating Stone chandelier.

The room was lit with a soft light,

Wu Heng took out the two elixirs that Li Yahong had brought him.

[High-efficiency reinforcement potion] [High-efficiency Intelligence Potion].

The name of the second potion had changed to Intelligence Potion.

The materials for making this potion must be from the Corpse Core of a Big Head zombie.

It’s just the name, Intelligence.

It doesn’t sound too pleasant to the ears.

Without dwelling on these thoughts, he opened the first elixir and drank it down.

The sourness flowed into his stomach, and after the warmth spread throughout his body, there came a cramp-like stabbing pain.

[Strength +3, Constitution +2.]

The attribute notification distracted some of his attention.

Gradually, the stabbing sensation disappeared.

His muscles also began to relax.

“Good, the attribute points haven’t decreased.”

Initially, when consuming a level one Corpse Core.

The effect was to increase by 3 points, but gradually the efficacy decreased, to 2 points, finally 1 point.

This level two Corpse Core elixir, he reckoned would also gradually weaken.

He rested briefly after that.

He continued by opening a high-efficiency intelligence potion and drank it back.

The bitter taste prevailed, and energy continued to spread throughout his body.

Yet the effect wasn’t muscle pain but a feeling of dizziness and brain swelling.

[Intelligence +3, Perception +2, Charm +1.]

Attributes appeared again.

Adding 6 points to his stats.

Intelligence was the highest among them.

This was still quite remarkable.

It’s just a pity that he still hadn’t unlocked any superpower.

Wu Heng opened his attributes to take a look.

[Attributes: Strength 34, Agility 28, Constitution 37, Intelligence 33, Perception 21, Charm 27.]

His attributes had changed.

Intelligence had also caught up quickly.

But his Constitution remained his highest attribute.

That wasn’t a bad thing, Constitution is very important in any profession.

Even in a near-death state, those with higher Constitution would endure for a longer time.

Intelligence had also reached 33 points.

That wasn’t inferior to a 15th level magic user anymore.

Now it seemed, actually, his attributes were not bad at all.

Strength, Constitution, Intelligence.

All three were high, could it be that a combat approach was more suitable for him?

“Remember, Xi Ligui is a magic swordsman.”

This thought emerged in his brain but was immediately dismissed.

“No, it’s better to just keep a low profile; with so many skeletons, there’s no need to develop close combat capabilities.”

Learning some close combat skills to increase self-preservation wouldn’t hurt.

But to focus on close combat would only lead to dying quicker.

Surviving until now in both worlds was already quite difficult.

He tidied up briefly.

Wu Heng then left his room once more.

…

He went to the bathroom to clean up briefly.

And then went back to the bedroom.

On the bed, Mini and Andre Willow were asleep facing each other, one on each side.

The blanket had slid to one side, revealing their pale and beautiful figures.

Full of youth and vitality.

Wu Heng knelt on the bed and pushed their heads closer together.

Tip to tip, Mini unconsciously stuck out her tongue and lightly licked it while Andre Willow in her sleep slightly furrowed her brows.

Soon, they both sensed something was amiss.

Their eyes shot open with a cry of surprise.

Seeing Wu Heng, Andre Willow’s face reddened slightly with reproach, “Master really is…”

Wu Heng smiled, hugged them both, and lay down on the bed again.

“Sleep, sleep.”

…

The next day, early morning.

Wu Heng, with Andre Willow, headed to the association.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, a cry came from behind.

It was an assistant to the Steward, a bespectacled female elf.

“Deputy Steward Wu Heng, your merit rewards are ready, you can select them at any time.”
