Chapter 222: Chapter 193, Unlocking Knowledge (One update today, 4000)_1

A regional commander for disaster relief?

If this was in the past, this position would carry the weight of an official, a very important one at that.

But at present.

It seems to carry no real significance.

At most, it’s just a title, serving no functional purpose.

Most survivors have gathered in communities or villages, forming isolated clusters.

Separated by hordes of zombies, there is no longer a notion of regional command.

Even if one is chosen by the headquarters.

Even with orders issued within the region, it’s doubtful anyone would heed them.

If a commander suddenly contacted the jail or himself for some assignments, Wu Heng would definitely not listen. He might even curse him out on the radio.

“What use is this disaster relief commander?” Wu Heng asked.

“Just a position, I guess! After all, there are still some official organizations in various places. They can support each other, and once the roads are opened, there will be support in terms of weapons and technology,” Li Yahong said.

As for the rest of the official organizations.

They’re probably the relief teams or gathered military.

Mutual support is indeed beneficial.

As for weapons and technology.

Weapons would likely mean support with guns and ammunition while technology refers to the development of an antivirus.

Neither of these two hold much appeal for him.

In terms of battle, he does highly regard modern weapons, but waiting for the roads to be cleared and supplies to be sent takes too long.

Additionally, he has enough ammunition for now. Combat in this Zombie World relies more on the number of skeletons.

No need to get caught up in these details.

As for the antivirus.

As long as he’s careful, there won’t be too many issues. As for the corpse core potion, it has already neutralized the zombie poison.

He might have developed it even sooner than they did.

There’s no need for him to get involved with them too deeply.

After sorting out his thoughts, he bluntly stated: “It’s not of much help to us, we don’t need to fight for such a title. It’s better for us to focus on our development and get through the winter smoothly.”

Although Wu Heng didn’t care much for their various antics,

There was no need to provoke conflict with the headquarters.

After all, modern remote missiles can be quite fierce.

Keeping a low profile would be better for him.

“Understood.” Li Yahong nodded, then added: “I plan to report the Mushroom Zombies we killed earlier to headquarters, so that the other regions can be aware of the characteristics of these zombies.”

“Sure, I have no objections,” Wu Heng replied.

“Then I’ll write it down. You can take a look when I’m done and I’ll inform the headquarters afterwards.”

“Alright!”

The two stood together, chatting for a while.

Then on the map, they picked a location marked by a red circle.

Continuing with the skeleton army, they headed there.

Becoming stronger was the ultimate principle.

Even if he didn’t care about this title, he needed to have the authority to keep others from pointing fingers.

…

The skeleton army moved forward, grandly and imposingly.

Heading towards the marked location on the map.

In addition to the accompanying skeleton army, there were a few mutated skeletons and previous reanimated plant-human carrion, the ‘Withered Plant Monster’.

Because it couldn’t move on its own,

Wu Heng found a wheelchair from a nearby pharmacy and had a skeleton push it.

It looked like a severely ill patient.

Upon reaching the location marked in red,

With one look, he saw a large number of zombies on the road, as well as a huge mutated zombie sitting on top of a car.

“There really is a mutated zombie!” Li Yahong exclaimed.

The locations marked with a red circle on the map each represented a risk beyond zombies.

They picked a random one,

And saw a level two mutated zombie.

After spending time with Wu Heng, Li Yahong didn’t feel a huge emotional swing when seeing a mutated zombie.

It was as though he had killed so many that it was no longer anything special.

“Advance!” Wu Heng ordered.

The skeleton army continued moving forward. The scattered echoing footsteps immediately drew the attention of the zombie horde.

The first zombie let out a roar.

The horde of zombies all turned to look at the skeleton army.

The next second, they roared and charged, revealing their claws and flashing their teeth.

“Spear Array!”

The spear-wielding skeletons moved quickly to the front, forming a formation.

The other skeletons also pulled out their spears, ready to throw them.

Wu Heng, seeing the quickly gathering horde of zombies, didn’t immediately give an order.

Glancing at the ‘Withered Plant Monster’ in the wheelchair, he said: “Release the ‘Entangled Vegetation’.”

The Withered Plant Monster in the wheelchair bent forward, its arm-like branches planted directly on the concrete ground.

A dark gray energy quickly spread forward.

Dark red-thorned vines sprang up from the ground, forming an area of dense thorny terrain.

The horde of zombies charged into the terrain.

Their running started to falter. Some were tripped up by the thorny vines, and those remaining struggled to push through while battling the thorns.

The effect is this good?

Wu Heng was somewhat astonished at the scene before him.

Ordinarily, the zombies run fast, but now they were trapped in ‘the vegetation terrain’.

Their speed was slower than normal walking speed.

At seeing a large number of zombies trapped inside,

Wu Heng directly commanded, “Throw your spears—throw!”

Whoosh!

A multitude of spears flew into the horde of zombies.

Since their movements were already limited, the chances of hitting them dramatically increased.

In an instant, a large number of zombies fell face first.

Foul blood flowed, pooling on the ground.

“Continue, throw!”

Whoosh!

The second volley of spears was thrown, clanking into the horde of zombies.

Followed by the third and fourth,” Wu Heng said.

And so the rinsing of the zombie horde continued.

Before they could even leave the thorny terrain, more than half the horde had already vanished.
