The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 214: Chapter 186, The Plants Rebel (One more update, Not yet edited)_1

“Damn it, the plants have gone rogue, Dave can’t control them anymore,” Qiangzi exclaimed in surprise.

Gone rogue?

Dave?

The people nearby were puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“The plants have betrayed us! They’ve joined ranks with the zombies,” Qiangzi replied.

The others still didn’t understand.

Nobody else paid attention to his comment.

They continued to watch the distant zombies, speculating, “It’s been a long time, maybe the seeds have germinated in their brains.”

“It’s possible, or it could be a new type of zombie.”

“The spores they are releasing should be similar to those of the plants, floating in the air, they’re definitely poisonous.”

“No doubt, you can tell it’s poisonous from its color.”

The group stared at the green fog engulfing the entire street in the distance, whispering among themselves.

Everyone had seen countless types of zombies up to this point.

But it was the first time they had seen a symbiotic relationship like this, with plants growing directly on them.

It wasn’t a good situation.

At the very least, the poisonous fog had formed a barrier that made it difficult for any living creature to enter.

Wu Heng, standing in the back, was also surprised at this new form of zombie, looking through his binoculars.

Genetic virus and necromancy surely had inherent differences.

No matter how advanced necromancy gets, it can’t coexist with life. This means that even if transformed into a carrion, a plant wouldn’t grow within it.

It didn’t matter whether it was magic fusion or plant grafting.

Necromancy was inherently opposed to life.

But in the case of the zombies, they could coexist, forming a symbiotic relationship.

“Has the control center mentioned this type of zombie before?” Wu Heng asked.

“No, we’ve never heard about this type of zombie before, it must be new,” Li Yahong replied after a moment’s recollection.

The control center collected information from all over and compiled it.

Then they distributed it so that everyone knew about the various types of zombies and their respective countermeasures.

The zombie in front of them hadn’t been mentioned before, either it didn’t exist elsewhere, or no one had obtained detailed information about it yet.

But none of that mattered now, what was urgent was to find a way to deal with it.

Wu Heng continued his observation.

We can go elsewhere if it doesn’t work,” Li Yahong suggested.

“Let’s try first. Skeletons aren’t afraid of toxic fumes, I think we should be able to handle it,” Wu Heng replied.

He then checked the time.

It was already mid-afternoon.

The sun was at its peak.

“What do we need to do?”

Wu Heng thought for a while, then instructed Big Head, “Let all the skeletons down and prepare for battle.”

Clatter!

All the accompanying skeletons leapt off the vehicle.

They filled the entire street and began to reorder themselves into a formation with spears in the front and cleavers in the back.

Wu Heng continued to instruct Li Yahong, “Get everyone to turn the vehicles around. Everyone has a gas mask, right? Be ready, if the poison gas spreads over here, remember to put on the mask.”

“Alright,” Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed everyone on top of the truck to go back and prepare their masks.

The convoy started up again and began to make a U-turn.

This would make it easier to escape in case of an emergency.

When everything was ready.

Li Yahong, holding a gas mask, walked over.

“You stay on the truck, you don’t need to follow me,” Wu Heng told her.

“It’s okay, I have a gas mask.”

“No. We’re not sure about this poison yet. You stay on the truck. It would be easier for me to get to you if anything happens,” Wu Heng insisted.

Both worlds were different, but they were not too different in essence.

All negative effects were related to individual attributes.

The stronger the physique, the higher the resistance to various toxins. The higher the intelligence, the less likely one would be deceived by illusions. The higher the charm, the less likely one would be affected by the state of mind.

This poison, which filled the air, could not be completely blocked even with a gas mask.

Wu Heng did not plan to enter the poison fog, let alone let Li Yahong follow him through it.

It was just a regular scavenging operation.

If something happened to Li Yahong, the loss would be great.

Seeing his firm attitude, Li Yahong didn’t persist anymore and said, “Be careful then. If it doesn’t work out, we can always go somewhere else. We have plenty of supplies.”

“Alright, go back now.”

Li Yahong returned to the passenger car and waved at him.

Wu Heng nodded and began to prepare himself.

First, he consumed a bottle of detoxifying potion, then held a gas mask in his hand.

Then, he released Xiao Xiao and said, “Xiao Xiao, you need to help Uncle watch out for any mutated zombies, strange creatures, or survivors in the vicinity.”

“Ok, got it.” Xiao Xiao spun in the air and flew towards the front.

Once Xiao Xiao had left, Wu Heng immediately commanded, “Move forward.”

Clatter!

The skeleton army started to move, advancing forward.

They sprang into action, moving towards the commercial street.

…

As the skeleton army drew near.

The sound of their march immediately caught the attention of the mushroom zombies within the poisonous fog.

They turned their heads in unison, staring in this direction.

Roar!

Upon seeing the advancing skeleton army, they immediately let out deafening roars.

One roar after another joined into a chorus.

The wandering zombies began to move, those leaning against the wall corners also rose stiffly.

Creak, creak!

The sharp, constant noises rang incessantly.

The movement of these Mushroom Zombies was incredibly slow.

Their movements were even stiffer than the ordinary zombies, like mechanical dancers. As their joints moved, making creaking noises, the mushroom-like plants on their heads continued to emit poisonous fog while they moved.
