Chapter 153, The Carriage Must Be Full of Supplies
Strength-enhancing potion?
A potion he had never seen before was brought to him.
Wu Heng frowned and glanced at the description below the potion.
A potion developed by extracting the energy structure of a distorted creature.
In other words, it was made using corpse cores.
"Is this a first-level corpse core or a second-level corpse core?" Wu Heng asked.
On the side of the Skeleton Alchemist, there was a total of one second-level corpse core and three first-level corpse cores.
No antidote had been made before.
Wu Heng thought that the work was too heavy. After all, there was only Alchemist No. 1 at the time, making commonly used therapeutic potions, mental potions, and taking care of the wounded.
Now it seems that new potions are being developed.
And it has been successful.
Alchemy is really a magical profession.
I wonder if an antidote for the zombie virus can be made.
The Skeleton Alchemist brought the 'organ jar' and opened the jar mouth on it.
Wu Heng took the opportunity to look inside.
A blood-stained second-level corpse core, and two other first-level corpse cores.
In other words, this potion was made from a first-level corpse core.
"Well, cover it!"
No. 1 closed the lid and put it back on the shelf next to him.
Wu Heng picked up the potion.
After thinking for a while, he opened the cork and drank it directly.
The slightly bitter taste filled his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.
[Strength +1, Agility +1.]
The system prompt appeared, and the attributes were improved.
[Name: Wu Heng]
[Occupation: Necromancer]
[Level: 6 (7325/23000)]
[Attributes: Strength 24, Agility 25, Constitution 25, Intelligence 26, Perception 15, Charisma 19.]

The attributes have indeed been improved.
Moreover, this time, there were no side effects of swallowing corpse cores.
In other words, this potion completely avoids the process of swallowing corpse cores and being infected by viruses.
If this news spreads, I am afraid that the entire surviving human society will cause a big sensation.
At least, this is an absolute wealth.
Other survivor bases, even the headquarters, do not have wealth.
If the second-level corpse core is also developed.
Then it is only a matter of time before more abilities are unlocked.
The martial soul is still very satisfied with this potion.
He returned the potion bottle to No. 1 and continued, "This potion is very good. Next, we will make it according to this method. Similarly, we will also develop the second-level one."
Alchemy No. 1 saluted and walked back to the room in the building with the potion bottle.
...
After taking the potion.
Wu Heng walked out of the community and pressed the intercom.
Not long after, Li Yahong rode a tricycle and rushed over.
On the board of the tricycle, there were hundreds of steel bars with one end cut into sharp points.
"Can you take a look at this one?" Li Yahong picked up one and handed it to him.
Wu Heng shook it in his hand and felt that it was a bit heavy.
"It should be this one. If there are any aspects that are not right, improve it."
"Okay." Li Yahong nodded, and then continued, "The work of collecting daily necessities and transportation has been handed over, and everything is going on normally."
Wu Heng nodded, "Collect them and pile them at the entrance of the community. I will arrange for the skeleton to move in then."
"Okay, when will you go to Changyingzi?" Li Yahong continued to ask.
"Tomorrow! Prepare a truck, fill it with oil, and prepare some spare gasoline."
"Okay!"
After chatting, the two parted ways.
Li Yahong rode the tricycle back.
Wu Heng also returned to his residence, commanded the skeletons, and distributed the javelins.
He chose an open space and began to practice long-distance javelins.
Wu Heng stood aside and watched for a while.
He opened the boundary gate and returned to his residence in Rentam City.
...
Dusk.
Wu Heng walked down from the upstairs.
Bunny girl Minnie heard the footsteps and rushed out quickly.
"Master, do you want to prepare dinner?"
"Prepare it!"
"Okay!" Minnie walked downstairs with her long legs, three steps at a time, and prepared dinner.
The two newly bought maids have completely different personalities.
Minnie is 16 years old and has a lively personality. Even though she was almost killed by the Blood Worship Cult last time, she can still talk about it with a smile and share it with others as a topic of conversation.
Later, knowing that Wu Heng had saved her, she felt that it was fate.
She was destined to follow him.
She willingly accepted her maid status.
Minnie went to prepare dinner.
Not long after, Andwier, who was in charge of the shop, also came back from opening the door.
She didn't bring Jian Yi and Jian Er, so she must have stayed at the shop.
Seeing Wu Heng sitting in the living room, she immediately said, "Master, the shop has opened normally in the afternoon, and there are not many customers entering the shop."
It just opened, and there was no publicity.
People will come in slowly, so there is no rush.
"You will be in charge of that side, don't worry about gangs or anything like that, I have already asked people to explain it." Wu Heng said.
"Okay, Master."
After answering, he went to the kitchen to help Minnie prepare dinner.
Soon, dinner was served on the table.
The three sat down at the table and started eating.
Minnie asked about some things she was curious about, and Andwier listened and ate quietly.
After finishing dinner, they returned to their rooms to rest.
…
The next day.
After breakfast, Wu Heng took Wei'er and Minnie to the store.
After sitting in the store for a while, a few scattered customers came in to ask about the prices of items.
It was different from what I imagined.
Some people did ask about the prices of glass cups and porcelain.
But more people bought plastic basins, which were piled up in grocery stores.
Everyone came in and bought a few to take away after asking about the price and use.
Wu Heng sat for a while, said hello to the two girls, and went back early after the meeting.
Then he left directly and returned to his residence.
He opened the boundary gate and returned to the zombie world.
Today, he made an appointment to take Li Yahong to Changyingzi to catch the big-headed zombie.
Wu Heng commanded the skeletons to start dividing the troops, leaving about two hundred troops to patrol nearby to protect the rest of the people in the auto repair shop.
The remaining skeletons all moved, filling the entire street.
The current number of skeletons has reached more than 13,000.
The big-headed skeleton has the ability of long-distance intelligence, and it also needs to issue orders in batches and multiple times.
In the distance, the people in the auto repair shop stood there and watched, with some horror in each other's eyes.
The number of skeletons is now more than the general corpse tide.
The main station also introduced some powerful superpowers.
But in the eyes of everyone, no matter how powerful the superpower is, it can't match such a dense army of skeletons.
You can also wear armor and hold weapons.
Didi~!
Soon, Li Yahong also drove a military truck over.
The skeletons made way for a road, and the military truck slowly entered the middle position.
Wu Heng took Bassen, Bawudong, and the big-headed skeleton to get on the truck.
Directly issued an order, "Forward!"
Hualala~!
The skeleton army began to move, escorting the truck in the middle, and moving forward slowly.
Li Yahong said: "Last night, I contacted the Changyingzi District again. They said that in addition to the big-headed zombies, they also found other types of second-level zombies and first-level zombies, and the number of zombies was about 2,000 or even 3,000."
"More than one second-level zombie?"
"Yes, that's what they said. It might be a little dangerous." Li Yahong was a little worried.
As time went by.
Not only did the survivors gather together, but even the zombies began to gather together.
Who can you reason with?
"It's okay, it's not a big problem. If there is real danger, we can leave." Wu Heng comforted.
"Well, they will also evacuate today, and they won't be able to provide us with any detailed information at that time."
"It's okay, we pass, and those zombies will come to us."
The truck continued to move forward slowly, maintaining the same speed as the army.
The two chatted about the radio station and the situation of some survivors' bases.
As time went by.
The survivors gradually gathered together and began to huddle together for warmth.
Similarly, every day there were bases that lost contact inexplicably, most of them were attacked by zombies and died inside.
The truck drove out of the cleared area.
On both sides of the road, more and more zombies began to be attracted, rushing out of the community or shops, and killing here in groups.
After walking a distance against the rushing zombies.
Passing through a residential area.
Zombies poured out of the community like a river and gathered on the road.
Rushing towards this side.
"Stop, and the skeletons stop moving forward." Wu Heng ordered immediately.
The truck slowly stopped.
The skeleton army also stopped and entered combat mode.
The truck has a good view and can see farther.
Wu Heng calculated the distance of the zombies and said directly: "Prepare to throw spears!"
Hualala~!
A large number of skeletons pulled out the steel spears they carried and prepared to throw them.
"Throw~!"
Whoosh~!
The dense steel bars were thrown out directly with the whistling sound of the wind.
Ding ding ding~!
Then, the steel bars fell into the range of the zombies like raindrops.
Some zombies were pierced by the falling steel bars, and more steel bars were more like falling iron bars, knocking down a large area.
"Wow, the effect is so good!" Li Yahong on the truck said with some surprise.
The road is originally a fixed width.
After hundreds of spears were thrown, the zombies fell down like wheat being cut.
Although many zombies stood up again one after another, the effect they showed was still very obvious.
When the spear throwing is practiced and the specialization is unlocked, it will also be a means of killing the enemy.
Seeing the standing zombies charge again.
Wu Heng continued to give orders, "Spear formation!"
The skeleton lowered its body, pointed its spear forward, and then the zombies rushed directly into the spear formation.
The sound of puffing into flesh was heard.
Dirty blood splashed everywhere.
A large number of zombies were pierced through their bodies and fell directly to the ground.
Watching the number of zombies decrease rapidly.
"Push forward!"
Hualala!
The spearmen stood up and began to push the zombies back like a wall full of steel nails.
The zombies who were not dead fell to the ground, trying to lie forward and bite the skeleton's ankle.
They were trampled into meat paste by more skeletons behind them.
Or they were chopped into a pool of rotten meat by the knife-wielding skeletons.
In the fierce battle.
The number of zombies was decreasing rapidly.
With the current level and number of skeletons, facing the zombies in front of them.
It can be said to be a crushing situation.
More skeletons were protecting around the truck, with no place to play.
The battle gradually ended.
The area became quiet again.
All the skeletons stood in place and began to stand by.
"Clean up the battlefield and move all the bodies to both sides of the road." Wu Heng continued.
The skeletons began to clean up the battlefield.
Picked up the steel spears thrown out, and threw the bodies to both sides of the road.
There were also scrapped cars blocking the middle of the road.
After everything was resolved, they continued to move forward towards the army.
...
The team moved forward while killing zombies along the road.
The speed of advancement was slower than expected.
In addition to dealing with the small waves of zombies that kept appearing, the scrapped cars piled up along the road greatly affected the advancement.
At two o'clock in the afternoon.
The team began to approach Changyingzi District.
Several obviously iconic buildings could be seen from a distance.
"Speed up the advance..."
Wu Heng was about to give an order.
Suddenly, a black SUV rushed out from a side road and entered the main road.
The speed was very fast.
However, just after it appeared, when it saw the mighty army of skeletons approaching.
Squeak~!
The harsh brake sound rang out.
The car body began to shake violently, turned sharply, and hit the street lamp on the side of the road with a "bang".
The violent collision broke the glass plate above the street lamp, and a piece of it fell on the top of the car roof.
The person in the co-pilot was half hanging on the car body from the front windshield.
The airbag on the driver's seat popped open, and the person was also seriously injured.
Then, the person in the co-pilot who broke the front glass began to turn into a zombie, crawled back into the car, and tore and bit the driver in the main seat.
Wu Heng and Li Yahong stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes.
This was a bit too sudden.
There was not even time to react.
The two cars hit the street lamp, and both of them turned into zombies.
Before the two could react.
Behind them, another small van rushed out from the same path.
Squeak~!
Facing the army of skeletons, they also stepped on the brakes, leaving four clear black tire marks.
The van turned and wanted to reverse and drive away in another direction.
But behind them, there were screams and howls of zombies.
A large group of zombies followed the van and appeared on the main road.
The van and the SUV with black smoke were like obstacles sandwiched between the two armies, unable to move forward or backward.
"They should be the survivors who escaped." Li Yahong said.
Wu Heng nodded, "Their driving skills are not very good."
The other party's car was not modified. Even the van behind only had a few newspapers pasted on the windows on both sides.
Modification is actually not something that anyone can do.
"What should we do now? Those people seem to be stupid, and the car is parked there and can't move." Li Yahong said.
Wu Heng looked outside through the gap between the steel bars of the car window.
He turned around and said to the big-headed skeleton behind him: "Prepare for the spears."
Hua La La~!
The skeleton team immediately made the action of throwing spears.
"Throw!"
Hu~!
The sound of breaking through the air sounded again.
Large pieces of steel spears fell from the sky like raindrops.
Ding Ding Dang Dang fell on the asphalt road, and the zombies fell down with the spears.
"Cleaner Skeleton, attack!"
Hua La La!
The Cleaver Skeleton squeezed out of the team and went out head-on.
He collided with the rushing zombies.
...
Inside the van.
Several people looked at the battle happening around them in horror.
The whole car body was shaken back and forth, and the roof also sounded the "bang bang" trampling sound.
It seemed that someone was fighting on the roof.
"Mr. Chen, these skeletons don't seem to attack us." One of them said.
The skeletons were closer to them. If they wanted to attack them, they would be basically overwhelmed in one wave.
It seemed that they really weren't attacking them.
"What the hell."
The man called Mr. Chen cursed.
"Look, the modified military truck in the middle of the skeletons is the superpower mentioned on the radio. If he can drive this kind of truck, the zombies can also rush out."
"There must be supplies behind the truck. Damn, if we have it, we can get a share of it no matter which base we go to."
Mr. Chen lowered his head and looked at the truck in front.
There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
...
The battle ended quickly.
All the zombies were killed, and the skeletons stood scattered in place, motionless like sculptures.
"Go and talk to those people, be careful." After thinking for a while, he said, "Bassen, you go with her."
"Okay!" Li Yahong tied the straps of the protective suit tightly and jumped off the truck directly.
Bassen and several other skeletons followed behind him and walked towards the van.
Dangdangdang~!
Li Yahong knocked on the door twice, "Open the door, I am also a survivor."
The rear door opened a gap horizontally.
Whoosh~!
Suddenly, a short spear with a fruit knife tied to it stabbed Li Yahong's throat through the gap of the open door.
Thanks to 08a for the reward
