Chapter 231: Chapter 199, Skeleton Soldier Changes Outfit_1

After returning to his home,

Wu Heng took a simple wash, opened the boundary door, and set out for the Zombie World.

The hotel on the other side pulled up, was now filled with stacks of goods he had been shipping over.

This procurement had finished off the money he had saved from the theft of the gold shop.

But it was well worth it.

Apart from his own weapons and armor, the fabric, spices, and various necessities he bought could turn him a good profit if sold later.

It was a deal he wouldn’t lose out on.

Previously, Wu Heng had entertained the thought of leading his skeleton troops to loot in the midst of chaos, scoring a shopping spree for free.

But he had quickly given up on the idea.

In a real war, it was questionable whether he would have the energy to go around scavenging warehouses. Plus, if people saw him doing it, it would damage his reputation.

After all, he was still the captain of a guild.

He had his eyes set on getting promoted to a steward, and then just loafing while on salary.

He couldn’t allow any lapse due to such a petty issue.

Wu Heng had people clear out the mobile service station and bookstore next door, and had the goods moved there in batches.

Once everything was in place.

Wu Heng pointed to a skeleton clad in leather armor, holding a long spear, and said, “You, come over here.”

The skeleton walked up the steps and stood straight in front of him.

Wu Heng looked it up and down. It was already level 6.

Among the converted skeletons, it was the highest level skeleton.

The higher the level, the more experience required. A level 6 was thus the highest level a regular zombie could be converted into.

Among the skeletons, there were already not a few at level 5, still rapidly increasing.

They were the mainstay of the skeleton army.

“Take off your leather armor.”

The skeleton set down the long spear in its hands and began to strip off its leather armor, revealing the empty bone beneath.

Wu Heng walked a lap around the pile of armor, pulled out a set of human plate armor, and handed it over.

“Try it on!”

The skeleton took the plate armor, and began to put it on.

This type of armor, plate armor,

was metallic on the outside and had a layer of thick leather on the inside.

There were certain requirements for wearing it.

People who were not up to standard in strength or physique would be burdened by it.

It would be like carrying a heavy object; forget about fighting.

Among professionals, most swordsmen did not wear this kind of all-covering plate armor, instead wearing leather armor with partial reinforcement.

The skeleton warrior put on the plate armor and stood upright again in front of him.

All parts of its body were under the silver armor, only the skull beneath the helmet exposed.

“Walk a couple of steps!”

Step, step~!

The skeleton warrior moved two steps forward.

“Walk over there, and come back.”

The skeleton warrior moved forward, walked to the wall and turned back.

There were no issues with movement.

Wu Heng continued to command the skeleton to pick up the long spear and gesture in the air a couple of times, similarly finding no issues.

In the attributes of the undead, there was no concept of endurance,

thus Wu Heng didn’t have to worry about exhausting his energy.

“Call all the higher-level skeletons out, have them take off their leather armor and put on this plate armor,” Wu Heng said directly.

Big Head Skeleton gave the order.

Amidst the rattle of bone friction,

A large group of skeletons came out, started removing their leather armor, and donned the plate armor.

The human body-sized plate armor supplied by the Maoliao Armor Shop numbered just over forty sets.

But the armour warehouse that Wu Heng had bought did not only have armor from them.

Once the skeletons had finished changing to plate armor, he roughly counted around 130 skeletons in plate armor.

Dressed in silver armor, holding long spears,

standing at the foot of the steps, they suddenly gave off a much more imposing vibe.

Next, Wu Heng had the ordinary skeletons dress in leather armor and change their weapons from kitchen knives.

There were five types of weapons in total.

Iron swords, iron sabers, nail hammers, single-handed battle axes, and shields.

The bows and arrows from weapon stores had all been requisitioned by Lundham City, leaving only these melee weapons.

Once all the skeletons were equipped,

They formed ranks again, standing at the foot of the steps.

…

Looking down from the top of the stairs, the formation had a whole new look.

The front row consisted of skeletons in plate armor holding long spears, a shiny array under the sunlight.

Behind them were the sword-and-shield and knife-and-shield skeletons, then the axe and hammer skeletons.

The rest were still known as the squad of kitchen knives.

They still formed the vast majority of the skeleton army.

Wu Heng looked at his army, a satisfied nod on his face.

If the Hammer Party indeed threatened him, he could really go all out with them.

In terms of the number and momentum, he might not necessarily lose to them.

Having observed from above,

He went down and released the Dead Bones Battlefield toward the pile of dead bodies.

Large groups of skeletons stood up from the ground.

He continued to command them to pick up the replaced kitchen knives and stand in line.

Once everything was almost sorted out.

Wu Heng continued to open the map and found an uncleaned spot. He brought the skeleton closer, preparing to clear away the zombies.

…

5:30 PM.

The third batch of cleaning spots was in a community called Fojing’an Community.

The herd of corpses, like a flood, were gathered from the distant road, rushing towards the skeletons that appeared ahead.

Iron spears rained down from overhead.

They crashed into the horde of zombies, causing large chunks of bodies to fall. Before they could get up, they were trampled down by the corpses behind and silenced.

When the spear throwing ended, with a command from Wu Heng, the skeleton army started charging.

Their brilliant silver armor and long spears clashed against the horde of zombies first.

It sent the zombies in the front row flying out and falling all over.

At the same time, nail hammers shattered skulls, and battle axes and cleavers chopped heads off in large areas.

The skeleton army showed an unprecedented killing power.

Much like killing machines.

The horde of zombies fell in chunks without much resistance.

Wu Heng stood in the back, continuing to observe the battlefield.

He was somewhat surprised and nodded in satisfaction.

“Well, the money wasn’t spent in vain.”

A large group of zombies was killed.

The system prompt appeared again.

[Your level has risen to 9. Body +1, Intelligence +1.]

[Skill Unlocked: Magic Sensory]

[Magic Sensory]: You have an extremely strong sixth sense for the magic around you, sensing the presence of an aura of magic, perception +3.

His level increased.

And another skill was unlocked.

It seemed that from level 6 onwards, each of his level-ups would unlock some features or skills.

This time it was Magic Sensory.

It could have an extremely strong sixth sense for magic aura.

Wu Heng cast a [Dancing Light Skill] and felt it, but there was no sensation.

He didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sixth sense.

The skill also added 3 points to his perception, which was pretty good.

Attributes were still very important.

Soon, the fight in front of him ended.

Wu Heng commanded the skeletons to clean up the battlefield, and a large group of corpses were brought back to the hotel.

He converted some corpses for some time before returning to his residence.

…

Association office.

The atmosphere was a bit off in the conference room.

Two team leaders were absent without any explanation, but everyone knew they had left without notice.

No one was foolish enough to submit a formal resignation before leaving.

By the time that happened, people would probably be unable to leave.

Wu Heng didn’t care about it either; he could always retreat to the Zombie World, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Wu Heng drew lots, and his luck this time was good: he was assigned to patrol the inner city.

Back to the team.

All four of his team members were sitting in the room.

Wu Heng looked at the few people and said, “Let’s go. We’ll be in the inner city today. It should be easier.”

The team members got up and followed him out.

Duke stepped forward and said, “Captain, Glask didn’t go out.”

Glask was the owner of the Maoliao Armour Shop. He had sold all his inventory to Wu Heng today.

“What’s wrong?”

“He was drafted by the Iron Guard Knights to repair the armors.”

“It would have been better if he had left earlier.” Wu Heng said.

“I guess he was targeted. As soon as he moves, he will be kept in custody. There aren’t many people left in the city.” Duke continued.

Wu Heng had no solution, “It may not necessarily come to a fight; let us just do our jobs.”

The group left the Association and patrolled the designated city walls.

They found a place to sleep at late night.

They went home to rest at dawn and proceeded to the Zombie World in the afternoon.

…

In the afternoon.

The convoy returned.

Qiangzi, Wang Chenggang, and others stared in disbelief at the skeleton army who had changed their equipment.

They looked astonished.

“Why are they wearing iron armors, and holding weapons? What’s going on?” Wang Chenggang asked in disbelief.

“Damn! I’m having a deja vu from the Lord of the Rings.”

They believed him when he said that the ability to summon skeletons was a superpower.

But now that even their weapons and equipment had been changed, wasn’t that a bit too much?

Such iron armor and weapons couldn’t even be made in the prison, yet he had managed to equip such a large batch.

Qiangzi was also a bit surprised, but having seen the skeletons equipped with leathers before, he quickly accepted it and said, “What’s there to be surprised about? Aren’t they just equipment distributed by the Underworld?”

“Damn, it really has something to do with the Underworld.”

“I don’t know. Sister Hong told me not to speculate.”

The rest of them were even more surprised.
