The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 532 - 441, Test Abilities

Chapter 532: Chapter 441, Test Abilities

Indeed, the missing people had been kidnapped by survivors from other bases.

From their demands, it was clear they knew some information about Wu Heng’s side.

But asking for 500 guns.

Made one wonder whether there really were 500 people.

Given the current situation, 500 people would be no small burden.

“Did they say which shelter?” Qi Hancai asked in a stern voice.

The girl in charge of the radio shook her head, “They didn’t say, they just stated their demands and the exchange location, then we lost contact with them.”

“Where is the exchange happening?”

“Over at Anren Street, they said there’s an overpass.”

Qi Hancai nodded, “Keep an eye on the radio, and let me know immediately if there’s any news.”

“Got it, Sister Qi.”

The two exited the room.

Qi Hancai’s expression was grim as she spoke softly, feeling apologetic, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”

Wu Heng glanced at her and simply nodded, “Have someone prepare the vehicles, we’ll go rescue them first, we can talk about the rest later.”

In the past, Qi Hancai’s management of the base had been quite good.

This time was an unexpected setback.

After the people were rescued, they’d just have to be more careful in the future.

“Should we prepare the food and ammunition they’re asking for?”

“No need, just get the vehicle team ready,” Wu Heng said directly.

Qi Hancai nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie to start giving orders.

Before long, the convoy had arrived at the gate.

Wu Heng also summoned a large number of skeletons from the Skeleton Army, hurrying to the location mentioned by the other party.

…

The path taken by the convoy.

Was the area they had cleared before.

Based on the map, it took about four minutes of driving.

They gradually entered a side road.

Qi Hancai said, “Once we turn at this intersection, we’ll reach Anren Street. Do we need all the skeletons to move over?”

Wu Heng glanced at the map, “Have the rest of the vehicles stop here, we two will go ahead and check the situation.”

“Could there be danger?” Qi Hancai voiced her concern.

“We’ll just go and see, it’s safe if we don’t get out of the car,” Wu Heng said directly.

Two ghosts were observing the situation nearby.

Especially Xiao Xiao’s Spirit Vision, the energy emitted by the zombies and living beings was completely different.

If there was an ambush or any danger, it could be detected immediately.

“Alright!” Qi Hancai picked up her walkie-talkie and passed on the instructions.

Wu Heng also issued a standby order to the Big Head Skull and the Skeleton Army.

Once they were ready.

Qi Hancai drove the truck, turned the corner, and continued towards the exchange spot.

After driving for some distance.

Qi Hancai said, “There is an overpass ahead, they’re up there.”

Through the windshield, the overpass ahead could be seen.

And the figures standing on top of it.

They were not zombies, but survivors looking in this direction.

“They’re clever, we’re below and they’re above,” Wu Heng said, and then added, “Slow down. Advance slowly.”

…

On the overpass.

More than thirty men and women dressed as scavengers were gathered on the overpass.

About ten of them wore bulletproof vests and held rifles, while the rest wore makeshift Armor, armed with Iron Spears and machetes, fully equipped.

One person glanced into the distance and shouted, “They’re coming, they’re coming, just one truck, and none of those bone frames.”

The others quickly gathered as well.

Looking into the distance.

Indeed, a modified truck looking like a tin can was driving towards them.

“That’s the station folks’ truck, they’re really stupid, at this time, still willing to trade food for hostages.”

“Daring to trade externally shows they aren’t short on food, what we’re asking for is too little.”

“It’s not too little, if we ask for too much, and they don’t come, it’s over for us.”

Their eyes lit up as they conversed in low voices.

Among them, a man with a cigarette between his lips said, “Toss them down.”

Two people crouched down and threw three men tied with ropes over the railing.

The ropes tightened, leaving them hanging in the middle of the overpass.

And down in the underpass.

A few zombies, drawn by the noise, gathered and looked up, clawing at the air in an attempt to snag the three figures dangling above them.

“Boss, when it comes time for the food and guns, will we let them go?” another person asked.

The man known as Boss took a couple of deep drags of his cigarette. “Let them go my ass. If they get back, none of us will live to see another day,” he said.

He glanced sideways, “Have the guys with the guns hide. When the truck gets close, greet it with gunfire, and kill them on sight.”

The others’ expressions grew stern, and they nodded in agreement.

“Understood.”

The crowd scattered, ducking and hiding behind the protective barriers of the overpass.

And gradually.

The distant truck slowly came to a stop.

It didn’t approach as expected.

“Shit, why have they stopped there?” one cursed.

“They probably want us to go down there.”

The Boss swore, “Only idiots would go down to talk to them. Who knows if they’ve got those bone frames inside. We’ll just wait them out, I don’t believe they’ve come all this way just to let the hostages freeze to death.”

The rest continued to stay hidden, without making any move.

…

Inside the truck.

Both could clearly see the scene in the distance.

Their three men, hung below the overpass, made Qi Hancai’s complexion even more troubled.

Right now, it was impossible to tell if they were alive or dead.

But dragging this out, they would eventually freeze to death there.

Moreover, from the other party’s posture, it didn’t at all seem like they intended to complete a transaction.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

At the very least, the positions of both parties were blatantly wrong.

They were on high ground, capable of attacking from above, while it would be exceedingly difficult for us to counterattack.

Unless we relied on the Skeleton Flying Dragon.

The Skeleton Army would have to traverse a considerable distance to find an entrance to the overhead bridge.

“This… what do we do? They came prepared,” said Qi Hancai.

“Don’t worry, just wait!” Wu Heng said.

Qi Hancai said no more, simply staring ahead to warn Wu Heng in case the enemy made any moves.

After a short wait,

two scouting Ghosts flew back.

Upon entering the body, the images from the overpass and a conversation about approaching and opening fire were shared with them.

The fact that the other side had guns was indeed a bit surprising.

There were twelve people with guns in total, the rest were armed with cold weapons.

There were also twelve vehicles, which had been modified in various ways.

After reviewing the information,

the two Ghosts were released again.

Wu Heng said, “Try using your power, kill them all.”

Glenda immediately flew out, followed by Xiao Xiao, heading toward the overpass.

Qi Hancai, who was still watching the distance, thought Wu Heng was speaking to her, pointed at herself and said, “Ah? Me, go kill them?”

“Not you, you’ll understand soon enough,” Wu Heng responded.

Qi Hancai continued, “Do you need the Skeletons to come over?”

“Just wait.”

Qi Hancai stopped speaking and silently waited.

…

On the overpass,

there was still no movement from the truck, causing uneasiness among the group.

After all, lying in ambush on an overpass was no easy task; the wind howled, and one by one they started shivering from the cold.

They quietly discussed what the other party was up to.

Would they come or go, just stalling there.

Even if someone came out to interact and confirm each other’s identities, it would be better than this.

Just stopping there, what did it mean?

Right then,

a man with dyed yellow hair suddenly stood up from behind cover.

The abrupt action startled his companions.

“Damn, why are you standing up?”

The yellow-haired man took two rigid steps forward, his face filled with fear, “I—It’s not me, my body’s not under my control.”

Bang~!

After he finished speaking, he slammed headfirst into the railing, blood splattered everywhere, and he collapsed.

The unexpected turn of events left everyone at the scene in shock.

Subsequently, the rifle on the yellow-haired man rose on its own.

The muzzle pointed at someone.

In the horror-stricken gaze of the target, the safety was clicked off, and the trigger was pulled.

Bang~!

The gunshot was deafening; the person’s head exploded instantly, and the body fell backwards.

The others quickly came to their senses, terror plastered on their faces.

The boss with a cigarette in his mouth immediately shouted, “It’s an invisible Superpowered Man! Fire at the location of the gun; don’t hurt our own people.”

Bang bang bang~!

A flurry of bullets blindly fired off.

But those aimed at the ‘invisible Superpowered Man’ struck nothing but air, yielding no reaction or the anticipated signs of blood.

Instead, the wild shooting hit many of their own.

Meanwhile, the floating rifle began to fire again, killing the enemies nearby.

The aim wasn’t precise, but it didn’t matter when the gun approached so close it was practically faced against a target.

“Shit, we’re cursed, damn it!” the leading man cursed, ducking and rushing to a pickup truck.

He closed the door and began starting the vehicle.

What kind of people had they provoked?

To have the ability to control a gun out of thin air.

How were they supposed to fight this?

The vehicle started, and he was about to drive off.

Suddenly, he felt a chilling sensation invading his body, and soon after, his limbs were unresponsive.

His neck began to twist unnaturally, cracking as it turned backward.

The overpass grew silent.

Two semi-transparent Ghosts also appeared out of midair.

Xiao Xiao complimented enthusiastically, “Wow, Auntie, you’ve become so powerful.”

Glenda replied with a smile, “It’s a new ability I gained yesterday, enhancing the effect of telekinetically holding objects.”

“That’s so cool, like a superhero. Next time I want to get this power too.”

“Sure, when the time comes, we’ll ask Wu Heng to get you one as well.”

“Mhm,” Xiao Xiao nodded.

Glenda looked around and said, “Xiao Xiao, go get Wu Heng, it’s over here.”

“Okay.” Xiao Xiao flew down toward the ground.

…

On the truck,

from the angle below, the scene above could be faintly discerned.

Witnessing a rifle levitating on its own, taking out everyone around it,

Qi Hancai could hardly believe her eyes.

She had contemplated how this fight might be resolved.

Indeed, with the strength of the base at present, it was no pressure to kill this group of people.

But she could never have guessed it would be done by letting a gun kill on its own.

“How… what happened?”

Qi Hancai’s eyes widened as she turned to ask.
