Chapter 130: Chapter 128, Put on Makeup _1

Flesh and blood peeling off, a tall skeleton slowly stood up.

Its height could reach two meters twenty or thirty, with broad and massive bones, and two protruding tusks adding a ferocious appearance.

Compared to the two meters eighty or ninety height of a male orc, this skeleton already seemed to be much slender.

[Skeleton Guard (Level 9)]

[Level: 9]

[Attributes: Constitution 21, Strength 18, Agility 15, Intelligence 11, Perception 9, Charm 7.]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul, Guard Vision.]

[Proficiencies: Heavy Crossbow Expertise (Intermediate), Leather Armor Expertise (Intermediate), Single Hand Sword Expertise (Basic), Single Hand Axe Expertise (Basic).]

[Abilities: Ranged Suppression, Fixed Shooting Stance, Immediate Battle Ready, Elite Crossbowman.]

[Skills: Guard Thorns, Hunting Dog Partner.]

[Guard Vision]: Vision +30 feet, can spot hidden enemies.

[Ranged Suppression]: Has a profound understanding of enemy movements, controls the battlefield, Perception +3.

[Fixed Shooting Stance]: Stays in a fixed position and prepares for battle, improving accuracy.

[Immediate Battle Ready]: Can find favorable terrain at any time, and prepare for battle.

[Elite Crossbowman]: Proficient in using strong crossbows, increases crossbow range and reload speed.

[Guard Thorns]: A transformative spell, setting thorn traps on the ground to restrain enemies, which are detectable by the “caster”.

[Hunting Dog Partner]: Can tame hunting dogs, become your own partner.

At first glance, the name ‘Guard’ seems more like a melee-class profession.

After seeing the attributes, I also understand the meaning.

This profession is more like a type of crossbowman, the objective of which is reconnaissance and fixed location firepower suppression.

Guarding should refer to suppressing a certain location.

Just like when he and Duke were investigating, the enemy used a heavy crossbow, which suppressed them and made them afraid to show their heads.

Continue to view the attributes.

[Guard Vision][Ranged Suppression][Fixed Shooting Stance][Immediate Battle Ready] In fact, they all increase the line of sight and accuracy.

Find the enemy, kill or suppress.

Wu Heng realized this too.

An arrow almost blew Duke’s head, which was pretty scary indeed.

[Elite Crossbowman] is to enhance the attributes of the strong crossbow, in fact, it represents that she is more proficient in using the strong crossbow.

[Guard Thorns] can release a trap spell to restrict enemies.

The last ability is called [Hunting Dog Partner], which can tame hunting dogs.

Common hunting dogs are probably impossible now, but I don’t know if skeleton dogs will work.

This time I didn’t bring it to the prison attack, so let it try when I go back.

Overall, Wu Heng is quite satisfied with this skeleton.

In his skeleton team, he really lacks long-range troops.

Even if the skeletons are equipped with rifles, most of them are sweeping fire.

It cannot be described as professional.

“From now on, you’ll be… ‘Lieyi’! Go and put on your equipement.”

Wu Heng hesitated between Wuyi and Juyi for a moment, and gave it the name of Lieyi.

In the future, he can give names in order by number to other troops that are good at using long-range weapons.

The skeleton walked out of the fallen flesh and blood and put on all the previous armor and leather goods, and picked up the heavy crossbow that looked very heavy.

The heavy crossbow, with its range and power, should not be underestimated, but it is too cumbersome.

Guns can completely replace this weapon.

Wu Heng took out the sniper rifle and assault rifle scavenged from the spatial ring and gave them both to it.

He said, “These two weapons will be your main weapons from now on.”

Then, Wu Heng explained to it how to use these two firearms.

The rest is up to him to research.

He sent ‘Lieyi’ to the side to study the firearms, and he continued to release [Dead Bones Battlefield] on the remaining corpses.

Six orc skeletons slowly stood up.

Compared to the previously mentioned Lieyi, the male orc skeletons have a more robust physique and skeleton.

They are almost as tall as the mutated ‘Big Guy’.

With gaping mouths and ferocious tusks, their faces look hideous.

Wu Heng checked their attributes.

Orc skeleton warriors, one at level 7, two at level 6, and three at level 5.

They all possess a basic soul.

In terms of physique and strength, they are somewhat superior to humans of the same level.

Apart from the characteristics of [Hollow Skeleton][Basic Soul], they also have a trait called [Glory Marks].

[Glory Marks]: Glory accompanies each beastman who steps onto the battlefield, bestowing honor and energy during battle, and increasing strength with each fight.

Among their specialties, they mainly excel in heavy armor and battle-axes.

In Wu Heng’s view, beastmen are naturally born warriors, gaining strength from their trait of ‘Glory Marks’ in battles.

In other words, they get stronger the more they fight.

Wu Heng is quite satisfied with this.

Furthermore, they can use weapons and possess combat skills, and should have no problem dealing with Mutated Zombies in a fight.

Cough, cough~!

Wu Heng clears his throat lightly and says to a few beastmen, “From now on, you are Beast One, you guys are Beast Two, Beast Three, Beast Four, Beast Five, and Beast Six.”

Wu Heng named the six beastmen with easy-to-remember names.

The level seven is called Beast One, and level six is Beast Two.

The rest are Beast Three, Four, Five, and Six.

“Alright, go to the side and put on your own equipment.”

A few skeletons start moving, wander off to the side, don suits of armor riddled with bullet holes, and pick up their weapons.

Wu Heng assigns a few beastmen as guards in the vicinity.

Then he walks straight back to his residence behind.

…

The next day.

Zombie World.

As dawn broke, the convoy was ready.

Wu Heng left some of the skeletons behind to guard the prison and took control.

He then led the remaining skeletons back onto the truck, starting the journey back to the auto repair shop.

The attack on the prison didn’t involve all the skeletons.

The carrying capacity of the truck is limited. Three large truckloads and three military trucks could only haul a little more than 700 skeletons.

Most of them were still left in the original residential area.

Wu Heng got in the truck. This time, it wasn’t Qiangzi who was driving but Li Yahong.

“You are driving?”

Li Yahong turned her head to look at him, “What, you don’t trust a female driver?”

Li Yahong looked somewhat different today.

It seemed like she had dressed up, but he couldn’t tell exactly how. She just looked a bit more refined than before.

Actually, Li Yahong was quite attractive, with a good face shape and bone structure.

The only drawback was that she smelled of oil and gasoline from fixing cars all day.

Wu Heng responds, “How could I not? You’re the best driver here.”

This was no idle chatter.

Not only can Li Yahong drive, but she can also operate forklifts, hoisting machines for car repair, and so on.

She was indeed a talented person.

“Well, everyone is on board. We can depart now,” said Li Yahong straightforwardly.

“Let’s go!”

The convoy started and left directly, going back to the auto repair shop along the route they came from.

The return trip was still quite uneventful.

The scattered zombies posed no threat to the convoy.

While driving, Li Yahong asked, “How many days are we going to stay once we get back?”

“Probably two or three days. By then, the convoy should run a few trips to transport the skeletons and some surrounding supplies over.”

“Okay, good!”

The car sped all the way, rushing back quickly.

…

The convoy moved quickly and the journey was smooth. By around two in the afternoon, they were near the auto repair shop.

However, just as they approached,

A serious, panicked voice came from Qiangzi over the vehicle’s radio, “Sister Hong, there’s a Mutated Zombie in the auto repair shop.”
