The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 269: Chapter 226, Leaving Black Stone Town was the Right Decision_1

“Yah! Wu Heng.”

Upon recognizing the figure amidst the smoke, Yuli immediately cried out.

Back in Black Stone Town, the two of them were closest in the team and could be considered best friends.

After hastily advancing a few steps, Yuli’s attention was once again attracted to the vehicle below him, curiously looking at it, she asked: “Where’s the horse for your carriage?”

“Three-wheeled vehicle, no horse required, have you never seen one before?” Wu Heng turned the handlebars, darting forward two or three meters.

Yuli’s eyes widened, and she immediately followed, “How does it move?”

Wu Heng motioned for her to get on, took her hand and placed it on the handlebar, “Slowly turn it downwards, slowly.”

“Oh wow.” Yuli tried to turn it.

The vehicle hummed and darted forward a distance.

Excitement, akin to finding a new toy, was written all over Yuli’s face.

Then, the three-wheeled vehicle zoomed off again, erratically darting about the empty ground.

Wu Heng walked over to the carriage, noticing ‘Slyther’ sitting inside, looking in his direction.

“Butler, long time no see.” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Slyther nodded calmly, “Has Lundham City been alright?”

“Yes, it’s been fine.”

“Let’s get Yuli back here, it’s getting late, let’s head into the city.”

Wu Heng called out to Yuli, who narrowly avoided crashing into the carriage with her vehicle.

Spitting out sand from her mouth she said, “This thing is really fast.”

“The butler wants you back in the carriage, we’re about to set off.” Wu Heng said.

Yuli turned towards the carriage, saw her aunt’s gaze, and immediately obediently got off the vehicle and climbed into the carriage.

Slyther said, “Let’s set off, we should reach Lundham City as soon as possible.”

“Alright!” Wu Heng and the skeleton got back onto their three-wheeled vehicle.

Accompanied by their team and the carriage, they set off towards Lundham City.

…

Just before dusk.

The team was nearing Lundham City.

People were already returning to the outer area of the city, but the population was still scant, not as chaotic and lively as before.

The advancing carriage suddenly slowed down.

Slyther asked, “What’s wrong?”

A guard approached and whispered, “Madam, all the guards on the city wall have turned into the undead, something seems to be off.”

Slyther, pulling back the curtain, looked towards the city wall in front.

Standing on the wall were carrion and skeletons armed with weapons, much like city guards.

Slyther frowned.

The last time he came, living beings were guarding the city wall.

Why had they now been replaced by the undead?

At the city gates, many people could be seen entering and exiting seemingly oblivious to the undead above.

“Get Wu Heng over here.” Slyther said.

The guard accelerated towards Wu Heng leading the way and whispered a few words to him.

The three-wheeled vehicle quickly reversed, stopping next to the carriage, “What’s up?”

Slyther glanced towards the city walls, asking, “Why are they all undead?”

“Oh! There’ve been some changes in the city lately, the entire city has been divided into two areas.”

“What does that have to do with the undead?”

Continuing, Wu Heng said, “They are my soldiers, it’s fine, there’s no danger.”

“Ah? You killed so many people, huh?” Yuli’s voice came from inside the carriage.

“How could that be possible, let’s enter the city first and I’ll explain.” Wu Heng said.

Slyther looked at him, then at the city wall, “Enter the city.”

The team continued forward, passing through the city gates and entering the city.

…

Upon arrival at the association.

Slyther went to see Gomez.

Meanwhile, Wu Heng took Yuli to their team’s rest room.

“Wu Heng, why are the buildings here so tall, like a cathedral?” In the room, Yuli looked around in wonder, curiosity filled her eyes as she examined everything.

“There are beastmen here, each one of them is three to four meters tall, so the buildings have to be bigger.” Wu Heng explained.

“Do you have beastmen in your squad?”

“Yes, there are two beastmen.”

“Can you call them over for me to see?” Lying on the large sofa, Yuli looked up at him and said.

“Let’s do it another day, it’s impolite to call them over if there’s nothing important.”

“Hmph, and you call yourself a squad leader.”

Ignoring her provocation, Wu Heng changed the subject, “Since you’re here, why didn’t you bring Mimi?”

“Mimi?” Yuli looked up in confusion.

“Your Cheetah.”

“Kuro! What’s with this ‘Mimi’? What a weird name.” Yuli corrected him, then continued, “Do you like it?”

“I can’t say I like it, just that it’s less of a chatterbox.”

“Oh! I wonder when Aunt will come back, I want to go and explore the city today!” Yuli also didn’t pay much attention to his words, complaining as she said so.

Knock, knock~!

The door to the room sounded, Slyther directly opened the door and walked in.

Glancing at the two in the room, he closed the door again, his gaze falling on Wu Heng.

“What’s up?” Wu Heng felt a little uneasy under his gaze, patting himself down.

Slyther sat down, asking, “Have you become the City Lord?”

Yuli also looked surprised.

It seemed that he had heard some news from Gomez.

“Ah! I… don’t I look the part?”

“Tell me what happened?” Slyther’s brow was still furrowed.

Wu Heng poured two cups of tea for them, sat down across from them, and began to recount the Hammer Party incident.

The rough course of events was that while he was patrolling, insiders opened the city gate and the members of the Hammer Party attacked the city.

Wu Heng, with his team, began to counterattack, ultimately assisting the City Lord in repelling the Hammer Party, killing the enemy leader, and receiving half the city as promised by the City Lord.
