The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

"Open fire! Shoot it down!" Wu Heng pointed at the drone.

The skeletons wielding guns immediately raised their weapons to shoot.

The gunfire crackled again; despite the poor aim, the dense bullets finally managed to hit the drone.

Crash!

The drone fell to the ground with black smoke, shattering into pieces.

Wu Heng stared at the wreckage with a solemn expression.

With their position exposed, going out now to level up is extremely risky, likely running into an ambush.

The best option is to hold firm and wait for reinforcements.

Li Yahong can be here in at most two days.

After cautiously surveying the sky and confirming no other drones, he immediately ordered, "Block all passages! Prepare to move!"

The Skeleton Army sprang into action again, piling up scrap cars, rubble, and other debris at critical street locations, forming a roadblock sufficient to delay any pursuers.

Once everything was ready, Wu Heng ordered the skeletons to lift the two heavy machine guns and ammo boxes, while he drove away in the business car equipped with a military radio.

Seeking a more concealed location for a new base.

...

Volcano Base!

The leader's private apartment was filled with a mix of cigar and alcohol aromas.

Tap tap tap~!

Rapid footsteps grew closer, breaking the lazy atmosphere here.

A military officer rushed into the room without bothering to knock, breathing heavily.

"Leader! Something big has happened!" the officer said solemnly, "The team that went out this morning to execute the capture mission... has been completely wiped out!"

Holding a wine glass and watching an old movie on the couch, the leader suddenly froze.

"Completely wiped out?" the leader's voice was deep, "Do you mean the scavenger who came to report like a rat yesterday... was lying?"

"The specifics are still unclear, Leader." The officer swallowed hard, trying to remain calm, "The garrison did not receive the routine report from the team at the designated time, then heard unusually dense gunfire and explosions from afar.

We immediately dispatched a drone to investigate the airspace where the gunfire last disappeared... and then we found this."

He quickly stepped forward and respectfully handed over the tablet in his hand.

The leader gave his wine glass to the woman beside him and grabbed the tablet.

The screen lit up, starting to play a slightly shaky video filmed from the drone's high altitude.

In the footage, what first appeared was a wide-open street space.

However, the area that should have been empty was densely packed with... skeletons!

Some held rusty swords, axes, and spears, while others carried standard rifles, maintaining a vigilant posture!

The camera moved to reveal the convoy they had sent!

Those few off-road vehicles and trucks equipped with steel plates were parked in the middle of the space, their bodies covered with bullet holes and slashing dents, evidently having gone through fierce combat.

Then, a figure on the edge of the screen attracted the leader's full attention.

A black-haired, black-eyed Asian child who looked no older than six or seven.

He raised his hand towards the drone.

The surrounding skeletons simultaneously looked up, hundreds of hollow eye sockets 'gazing' at the drone!

The scene made the leader's body tremble along with it.

Soon, the video erupted into dense gunfire, the image shaking violently, spinning, and finally turning completely to snow.

Bang!

The leader held the tablet steady, his face showing shock and... an imperceptible hint of fear.

"King Yama...!" The words squeezed out from between his teeth.

Summoning and commanding the undead army, this superpower was named 'Yama.'

The name was derived from its previous owner, King Yama.

It is recognized as the strongest and most feared superpower.

Bar none.

Someone has awakened this superpower here.

If this person could be recruited for use?

Impossible!

The battle between both sides has already begun; the stronger the opposing superpower, the harder it is to reconcile.

He now recalled Miguel's trembling description, 'A child is in charge,' 'able to control fireballs.'

Forget about controlling fireballs; that child is the awakener of 'Yama.' skill.

The people he sent are likely not even appetizers in their eyes.

He closed his eyes and reflected for a moment.

Since there's no way to reconcile, he can't let him go.

Otherwise, given enough time, he will only become stronger.

"Leader... What do you think we should do now?" The officer cautiously asked again upon seeing his prolonged silence.

The leader suddenly snapped back to reality, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp and somber.

He pushed the woman beside him away, stood up, and said sternly, "Immediately notify everyone! The base is entering full Level 1 battle readiness! All combat units are to prepare, ammunition distributed to individuals, perimeter checkpoints doubled in manpower, no one leaves or enters without my orders!"

"Yes! Leader!" The officer dared not delay and turned to leave.

The leader stood alone in the room, the earlier video of the child's cold gesture towards the camera and the countless skeletons lifting their heads repeatedly playing in his mind.

He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Do you really think you're King Yama of the Yama Hall? Just a pile of broken bones; let's see how long you can last."

...

Dusk dyed the abandoned town in a shade of yellow.

Wu Heng drove the reinforced business car along the desolate street.

Behind and around him was the vast, silently marching Skeleton Army, their forest-white frames casting long shadows in the sunset, the sound of bones grinding echoing through the area.
