Chapter 69: Chapter 69, You won’t sacrifice yourself, will you? _1
Xiao Xiao floated over from above, pointing at the cabinet and shouting,
“Uncle, there’s another living person here-!”
A living person?
“Basen, step back a little.”
Basen backed off a bit, Wu Heng continued, “Are you still alive? If you’re alive,
then come out.”
“I, I’m still alive!”
A trembling voice echoed from inside the cabinet.
Then, a somewhat petite female nurse stood up.
Cradling her arms, she carefully watched the people and skeleton standing in the room, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.
Wu Heng looked her up and down, asking: “Are you injured?
Not just bite or scratch wounds from zombies.
Any wound, once it contacts zombie blood or decaying flesh, could potentially
be infected.
So we have to be careful.
“No, no, when the zombies rushed in, I hid in here, then I think the cabinet fell,
trapping me underneath.”
“Come out!”
The nurse came out.
“Turn around.”
She obediently turned around.
There didn’t seem to be any signs of injury.
Wu Heng continued, “Li Yahong, Basen, take her aside and check for wounds.”
“Oh, alright!” Li Yahong nodded, then turned to the nurse and said, “Come, follow me.”
After not too long, Li Yahong led the nurse back.
She said, “She was checked. No injuries.”
Wu Heng nodded and asked, “What’s your name?
“Wang Ke!”
“Where is your communication equipment?”
The nurse pointed underneath the fallen shelves, saying, “It was there before.”
“Go and check!”
Basen stepped forward, moving boxes, bottles, and jars aside, revealing the
equipment.
It was the old army green color, obviously a dated piece.
“This one?” Wu Heng asked.
“Yes!”
“Take it out.” Wu Heng continued, “You can distinguish some medicines, right? Take Li Yahong and gather some commonly used ones. We’ll leave soon.” The two women left to find medicines in the dispensary.
Wu Heng found a cardboard box and put the radio equipment into it.
He had the skeleton carry it, and continued to wander around the hospital.
Actually, there’s quite a lot of things here, but not many that 1 can use.
Unless I really plan to open a hospital.
After circling around twice.
The two women came back, carrying two cardboard boxes.
After confirming there’s nothing else needed, everyone went downstairs together.
They left the hospital building.
They had the skeleton carrying the corpses, and they started to head back.
They returned to the complex.
All the bodies were thrown on the pile of corpses on the side.
Wu Heng continued,”The information this time was very accurate. What do you need? I’ll see if I have it.”
If someone contributes, they should get some rewards.
Li Yahong didn’t hesitate, or perhaps had thought about it beforehand, 111
take food.”
Wu Heng nodded, directing the skeleton to bring over a bag of rice, a box of beer, and some bottled pickles and canned fish.
He placed them on her tricycle.
Seeing the food taken out, Li Yahong was utterly captivated.
After swallowing her saliva, she promptly said, “Thank you.”
In truth, she didn’t exert much effort this time.
At most she acted as a guide, and followed the skeleton in running after the zombies for a while.
Other than getting thoroughly scared, there wasn’t much else.
Now she can get so much food, she’s definitely hit the jackpot.
Wu Heng looked at the delighted Li Yahong, continuing, “This radio equipment will be kept at your place for now. You can use it to communicate with the outside and collect information on nearby mutated zombies.
Li Yahong thought for a moment, felt there was no disadvantage to her, so she nodded in agreement, “Okay, you need information on every type of mutated zombie?”
“If you can discern the type of zombies, that would be best. Vague information
is also fine.”
“Alright, I understand.”
She was no longer surprised at Wu Heng searching for mutated zombies.
He was the one chasing after mutated zombies and hordes of zombies, after all.
You can’t compare him to an ordinary survivor.
In his eyes, mutated zombies are the prey.
As Li Yahong was nodding, she glanced at the nurse in the distance and asked, “What about her?”
“Take her with you. See what she can do and assign her some work’ Wu Heng also glanced at the saved nurse.
She appeared young, and had a petite build.
She couldn’t do any heavy work
But as a nurse, it’s actually quite important, she at least knew some first aid knowledge.
It could come in handy if anyone gets injured, catches a cold or gets a fever.
Wu Heng didn’t need potions himself. The potions from Black Stone Town worked faster, and a single bottle could annihilate disease.
It was Li Yahong’s team that needed them.
“Alright, I’ll head back first,” saidLiYahong.
“Go ahead!”
Li Yahong gave a slight bow, called her nurse, and pushed her cart to leave.
After the duo left,
Wu Heng directly checked his attribute panel.
[Name: Wu Heng]
[Occupation: Necromancer]
[Level: 5 (26/14000) ]
[Attributes: Strength 12, Agility 19, Constitution 20, Intelligence 18, Perception
10, Charisma 13]
[Specialties: Spear Specialization (Basic), Arcane Training.]
[Skills: Bone Manipulation Skill, Acid Splash, Grease Skill, Dancing Light Skill, Decay Ray, Corpse Preservation, Communicate with the Dead.]
[Arcane Training]The caster’s skills are enhanced, reducing spiritual power consumption when casting.
He had unlocked specialty called[Arcane Training]at level 5-
This kind of specialty that he could unlock himself was somewhat different from those he had before.
According to the description of the specialty, it enhanced the power of skills and reduced the consumption of magic.
For him, it was a very practical specialty.
After reviewing the attribute panel, Wu Heng ordered the skeletons to drag the corpses of the two mutated hunting dogs from the pile of bodies.
The two mutated dogs were bitten to a bloody pulp, a grim sight.
He directly cast[Bone Manipulation Skill].
As the flesh slipped off, two skeleton dogs slowly rose.
[Skeleton Hunting Dog (Level 5)]
After shaking off the rotten meat from their skeletal frames, they trotted over to the side with their heads wagging.
They rummaged through the rotten meat.
And easily found two level-1 corpse cores.
He rinsed them with alcohol, then found a plastic bag and wrapped them up directly.
Once he returned to Black Stone Town, he could continue making potions to enhance his physical attributes.
Xiao Xiao took the skeleton dogs to play off to the side.
Wu Heng then took out the[Book of the Undead]and continued reading.
He was looking for explanations in the book about transforming corpses.
Even if he slowly transformed one corpse at a time, he would never be able to convert all the population of this planet in his lifetime.
He wondered if there was a more efficient way to convert them.
At Little East Auto Repair.
Li Yahong returned to the garage with her cart.
Everyone stared in surprise at the rice, beer, canned food, and pickles on the
cart.
They probably had forgotten what canned meat tasted like.
Seeing it now, they unconsciously swallowed their saliva.
Then, the youngest man yelled in surprise, “Sister Hong, where did all this food come from? You didn’t sa-sacrifice yourself to get this for us, did you?”
Li Yahong glared at him, slapped him on the back of his neck, “What bullshit are you talking about, I exchanged this for information.”
Then she moved aside some goods and continued, “This is Wang Ke, he’ll be living with us from now on. He’s a nurse from the second hospital, we’ll rely on him if any of us get sick or injured in the future, so take care of him.”
“No problem.” Everyone nodded immediately.
Then they asked about the situation while walking into the garage.
Black Stone Town.
Wu Heng went to the Professional Association to inquire about his potions commission, confirming that there were no results yet.
He then released a commission for the creation of potions using Level 1 Corpse Cores.
Level 1 Corpse Cores should be done sooner. The potions could be made in a day or two.
After he had released the commissions, Wu Heng left the town directly and headed for the black market.
Draped in a black cloak, he squatted down in front of a familiar stall.
Wu Heng directly asked, “I want to buy the ‘Dead Bones Battlefield’ skill book.” While flipping through thefBook of Necromancy], Wu Heng found the content he needed.
In addition to individually casting[Bone Manipulation Skill], there were two other ways to convert corpses.
One was a skill called[Dead Bones Battlefield].
When cast, it could directly convert corpses within a certain range into skeleton soldiers.
It was a mass conversion skill.
The development of this skill was due to the inability to efficiently transform corpses during racial battles.
After all, what a battlefield lacked the least were corpses. Converting them one by one would achieve nothing.
They couldn’t convert them faster than their enemies could kill them. Hence, necromancers developed this skill, which could be learned at level 5.
He had just reached level 5 today.
The other method involved a special building enchanted with necromancy magic, called the Burial Ground.
Once the corpses were thrown in, they could be automatically converted into skeletons.
However, the requirements for creating a Burial Ground were relatively high. It required a lot of materials and the engraving of specific runes.
Comparing the two, buying a skill book for himself to learn was the quickest way.
After all, flipping to the last page to unlock it was much faster than creating a conversion-type building.
The stall owner in a black robe didn’t raise his head but replied in a hoarse voice, “I don’t have it.”
“Don’t screw around. I’m serious about buying,” Wu Heng said.
