The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Wu Heng issued a standby command, and the chaotic skeletons stopped in their tracks, standing bewilderedly in place.

He quickly walked to the edge and looked down, ensuring no skeleton had fallen due to the crowd, he also let out a sigh of relief.

This ghost is really troublesome, it even followed us here.

Thankfully, it didn’t cause any damage.

He asked Jianyi about the situation, but Jianyi couldn’t communicate, so he got nothing out of him.

He only knew that the ghost suddenly appeared last night, but it didn’t show much malice.

After confirming there was no problem, Wu Heng went downstairs to the corpses that hadn’t yet been transformed and began unleashing the Bone Manipulation Skill.

The Necromantic Magic Power was released.

The whitish skeletons stood up from the ground, Jianyi,standing by his side, took the kitchen knife and walked into the skeleton queue behind them.

Just when one skeleton after another stood up.

From one side of the wall, the ghost once again peeked out her little head, curiously looking at him.

“Dare to make trouble again!” Wu Heng raised his magic wand to scare her.

“Uncle, I’m not here to cause trouble.”

The ghost shrunk her neck but didn’t run away.

“So what are you here for?”

According to the information from Black Stone Town, it is very difficult for a ghost to form and even if it does form, it can’t exist independently for long.

The ghost in front of him, running around in broad daylight, is almost completely transparent now.

She probably won’t last much longer either.

“Uncle, are you King Yama?”

“Huh?” Wu Heng didn’t understand what she meant.

The young girl directly came out of the wall, knelt down obediently and sweetly on the ground, and said, “Uncle, can you free my grandfather and dad?”

Wu Heng looked at the skeleton group behind him.

He can’t even tell which one is her grandfather and dad now.

“Your grandfather and dad are already dead.”

“I know. Can you bring them back to life?” The little girl continued to ask.

Wu Heng frowned and seemed to roughly understand her thoughts, “I can’t do it.”

“Then why did you kill them? You could have waited for the doctor to save them.” The little girl sobbed, but tears didn’t flow.

“Didn’t you trick me over there?”

“Ah, sorry!”

“What exactly do you want to do? If you cause trouble again, I may have to hit you.” Wu Heng threatened.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Uncle, will you let my grandfather and father be reincarnated? They were just too hungry and they didn’t eat people before.”

Damn it.

Why is this kid so annoying?

After thinking about it, he still said: “They have already been reincarnated.

They will have a good family and a great life in the future.”

“What about me? Can I go with them?” The little girl immediately followed up.

Wu Heng shook his head, “Wait for the next opportunity.”

The little girl looked a bit lost, but it seemed as if she had unraveled something in her heart. She stood up and floated in the air, spinning around.

After thinking about it, she continued, “Uncle Yama, can I stay with you? I feel comfortable being with you, especially when you turn them into skeletons.”

After going through two ghost incidents.

It seems that Necromancers have a special attraction to the undead.

The ghost infant in the Mining Village, the first time it appeared in front of everyone, was perched on his shoulder.

It wasn’t interested in anyone else, only willing to be close to him.

“Follow me, and trick me again? I won’t be fooled twice.”

“I apologized already. I promise I will never trick you again. Please, Uncle, my grandfather and father are no longer here, I’m a little scared by myself.” The ghost spun around above his head.

Wu Heng looked at the ghost, fluttering in the air and constantly spinning.

Suddenly, he remembered the words of the captain.

Necromancers use ghosts for their own work, and the little girl in front of him seemed like a good choice.

“But you have to obey my commands.”

“Okay, I promise I’ll always listen to you.” The ghost readily agreed.

“Then you come down first.”

The ghost obediently floated down, but there was some caution in her eyes, as if afraid he would suddenly hit her.

Wu Heng attempted using his spiritual power to cover her.

[Soul Mark failed.]

In an instant, the spiritual power that encapsulated her was instantly repelled back.

He looked at the somewhat nervous little girl in front of him and said, “Don’t be nervous, relax a little.”

The little girl didn’t understand, but still nodded.

Wu Heng released his spiritual power again, this time more gently.

Then, it seemed a part of his soul mark was left in the little girl’s soul.

[Succeeded in contracting the ghost.]

With a surge of delight, Wu Heng immediately examined the Phantom’s Attributes.

[Phantom]

[Level: 2 (0/300)]

[Attributes: Agility 14, Constitution 10, Intelligence 8, Perception 12, Charisma 12.]

[Features: Invisibility, Ethereal Movement, Push By Thought Power]

[Invisibility: The mischievous phantom can render its soul completely invisible.]

[Ethereal Movement: The phantom can move through other entities and objects in its ethereal state.]

[Push By Thought Power: Able to influence objects within its range using thought power.]

The little phantom before him was only at level 2.

It didn’t have any abilities that were particularly offensive.

One of them was ‘Invisibility,’ which allowed it to become completely invisible.

The other one was ‘Ethereal Movement,’ which can be used to phase through walls and escape, and ‘Push By Thought Power,’ which seemed pretty solid at a glance.

Perhaps it could even control a sword or something.

Looking at the little girl before him, he moved a thought.

The ghostly body of the little girl turned into a ball of light, burrowed into his body, and simultaneously, he could feel an additional, special yet independent consciousness in his mind – connected to his own.

Meanwhile, his own Necromantic Magic Power was automatically converging towards this consciousness, nourishing the already weak soul.

It had worked.

With a thought, the ghost of the little girl reappeared.

With her wide eyes, she looked somewhat surprised at everything happening around her.

“Uncle, I feel a little different now.” The little girl’s body solidified considerably compared to earlier, no longer seeming like it could disperse at any moment.

“Mmm, you can stay with me from now on, but you have to be a good girl,” said Wu Heng with a smile.

“So, are we a family now?” The little girl looked at him with hopeful eyes.

“Er…sure, I guess so.”

“Then that means you won’t let your family get hurt, right, Uncle?”

Wu Heng looked at her. “What do you mean?”

“Uncle, can you save my mother? She’s in a house in the city.”

Damn, this young girl is a bit precocious, isn’t she? She said all that just to lay the groundwork for this.

No one was sure if her mother was even alive and if so, making the journey to the city wasn’t something that could be done lightly.

“You also know the current situation outside. We can’t make it to the city right now, but when I get the chance, I’ll try to take you back to find your mother,” Wu Heng said directly.

This little girl is much smarter than an average child.

In some matters, it’s more convenient to be straightforward.

“Okay, thank you, Uncle.”

Wu Heng nodded, continuing to use Bone Manipulation Skill, then asked, “What’s your name?”

“Lan Xiaoxin. But ‘Xiaoxin’ doesn’t sound too good, so everyone calls me Xiao Xiao!” The little girl floated over and naturally rested on his shoulder.

Unlike the Ghost Infant that rested there before, with its cold presence, there was no discomfort between them after forming their pact.

“Your father’s surname is Lan?” Wu Heng asked out of curiosity.

“Yeah, why do you ask, Uncle?”

“Nothing, it’s just a rare surname. From now on, I’ll call you Xiao Xiao, which sounds quite nice.”

“Uncle, what’s your name?”

“Wu Heng.”

“Is it Wu’ as in Sun Wukong’s ‘Wu’?”

“No, ‘Wu’ as in martial arts.”

Having someone to converse with in this Zombie World is actually not bad.

The other skeletons with souls, though they were somewhat capable of interacting, were not very communicative.

Just as he finished transforming and was planning for the next step…

Boom-!

A loud noise suddenly erupted from outside the compound.

Wu Heng jumped in surprise. The ghost Xiao Xiao was also scared, her body shrinking as if ready to phase through the wall and escape.

With a second thought realizing she can’t run anymore, she returned to Wu Heng’s side and perched on his shoulder.

The sound had come from outside the compound.

Wu Heng quickly ran to the roof, leaned on the edge, and looked towards the direction of the sound.

At the crossroads to the east, inside a shattered glass-windowed pharmacy, a deafening rumble kept resonating.

Zombies from all around poured towards the shop in large groups.

“Another survivor? And at this crossroad again?”

This crossroad was the same place where the large coach had been overturned last time.

His eyes landed on Xiao Xiao, who seemed equally curious.

“Xiao Xiao, can you go check out what happened?”
