NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1092: Acquiring the Radio_2
About a dozen zombies were stumbling over the pile of bodies of their fallen comrades, roaring futilely as they charged toward the house.
"Fight back and clear them out," Wu Heng ordered.
The Skeletons blocking the door rushed out instantly, knocking the zombies down, slashing their weapons, and in the blink of an eye, eliminating the zombies completely.
Wu Heng walked out of the house, looking at the terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood before him, his brows tightly knit.
If he were to use the Bone Manipulation Skill on each one of them, he feared it would take until dawn to finish the transformation.
Concentrating, he mobilized the magic power that had recently recovered quite a bit within him, and released the Dead Bones Battlefield!
A gray-white halo suddenly spread from him as the center, sweeping over the scattered corpses.
The bodies touched by the halo immediately had their flesh rapidly dissolve and peel off, transforming into figures of white Skeletons that crawled up from the corpse piles.
Wu Heng also felt the magic power inside of him instantly drained, a wave of exhaustion hitting him.
After recovering slightly, he flipped onto the back of the Skeleton Deer and did not linger.
Leading this expanded Skeleton Army, which had grown several times in size, he quietly retreated into deeper darkness, leaving the area to find a safer place to spend the night.
...
The night was as dark as ink, with the pale moonlight piercing through the clouds, illuminating the open ground in the center of the ruins.
Wu Heng stood in the shadow of a half-collapsed building, with the newly transformed Skeleton Army standing quietly in front, densely packed and silent, numbering at least four or five hundred.
The white bones gleamed coldly under the moonlight.
"Set up defense with this building as the center," Wu Heng ordered in a low voice.
Clatter~!
The faint sound of bone friction instantly shattered the silence.
The Skeletons efficiently dispersed to surround the building in layers.
The spearmen stood outside, while those with axes and swords were inside, forming several stern bone walls that completely isolated the outside from the inside.
The Skeleton Wolves then strode into the building's only entrance, lowering their elongated frames as their ghostly eyes vigilantly scanned the outside.
After confirming there were no issues with the defenses, Wu Heng found a relatively clean corner inside and sat down cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, eliminating distractions, and with his consciousness sinking into his body, began to operate the Cultivation Technique of the Creation Scripture.
After all, the fruits of previous cultivation and practice had already become ingrained in his mind.
Soon, faint strands of Earth Spirit Power began to be drawn in, slowly seeping from the surrounding soil and gathering within his body.
They merged into his meridians, nourishing his recently upgraded body and spirit.
However, the Earth Spirit Power here was still thin, not matching the absorption speed on Gold and Silver Island, or even the results he experienced yesterday in the forest.
But there was no other choice, he could only continue cultivating.
If Lilith were here, she might have tools and materials on her that could change the outcome.
Thinking of this, he also thought of those he had sent to the prison.
"I hope they stay put and don't run around aimlessly,"
After all, this is another world, where Vampires, elves, rabbit people, all are considered foreign species.
Calming his mind, he once again devoted his entire consciousness to the cultivation, guiding the thin Earth Spirit Power.
...
The walls of Xinfu Prison stood tall.
Though it was Mexico's night, it was noontime here.
On the walls, Lilith, Shanaela, Mini, and others looked seriously outside the walls.
The prison's perimeter was encircled by vast troops, not just the silently standing Skeleton soldiers but also rows of metal vehicles glistening coldly behind them.
There were armored cars, troop carriers, and even self-propelled artillery pieces with slightly lifted barrels, comprising a diverse, stern array.
Though they had witnessed the power of armored vehicles in Gold and Silver, they never expected these mechanical contraptions to come in so many types, each seemingly having its own purpose.
"Listen, the people inside!" suddenly came a loud voice from a megaphone outside, "Come out and surrender at once, or we will take forcible action!"
On the walls, the group exchanged glances, their expressions filled with confusion.
They didn't understand!
Mini quickly said, "Lilith Leader, they… they're asking us to come out and surrender."
She had spent time with Wu Heng earlier and had learned some of this world's writing and language.
Lilith's eyes narrowed slightly.
Observations over the past few days let them guess some of the circumstances of their surroundings.
Only Wu Heng, who was supposed to come with them, had yet to appear.
Lilith's figure was calm as she said, "Tell them we are friends of Wu Heng and are temporarily residing here, we mean no harm, so there's no need to be nervous."
Mini picked up a megaphone found in the prison, took a deep breath, and shouted to the outside: "…We are friends of the master…!"
"Say Wu Heng's name!" Shanaela softly reminded.
Mini quickly corrected, shouting in slightly stiff but clear Chinese: "We are friends of Wu Heng! We pose no threat to you! Please don't act this way!"
The troops outside fell into a brief silence.
After a while, the megaphone sounded again, the tone still cautious but with less immediate threat of attack: "Identify yourselves! Who are you really?"
Mini looked at Lilith.
Lilith deliberated for a moment and said, "Shouting like this is meaningless, let them send a representative to the city gate, and we will clarify this face-to-face."
Not fearing those steel constructs and Skeleton Army, no one can kill the hero.
But the Skeletons and those mechanical contraptions outside clearly belonged to Wu Heng; to fight would mean slaughtering their own.
Mini nodded, raising the megaphone again to loudly convey Lilith's intention.
After a brief silence, the other side agreed.
