The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 394 - 330, come over

Chapter 394 -330, come over

Indeed!

Qi Hancai’s heartbeat quickened even more.

When she truly heard the words “no side effects,” her heart skipped a beat, and her pupils suddenly constricted.

No side effects?

Last time, the other party only mentioned there were some techniques involved.

She had thought it merely improved the success rate of consuming the Corpse Core.

But now, what was said was completely different—no side effects meant a guaranteed success.

This… this was too terrifying.

Unrestricted enhancement of one’s own abilities.

For the other party, this wasn’t the apocalypse; this was a hunting ground for breaking free from one’s own shackles.

No wonder the auto repair shop had always been looking for Mutated Zombies.

And no wonder, the other party had displayed so many types of superpowers.

Now, they were about to share this secret with her.

At the same time as feeling ecstatic, she also understood the implications of the words.

This was definitely a secret that could not be revealed; if she disclosed it, she feared she would become one of those skeletons.

Forcing herself to calm down, she said firmly, “I swear I will not betray you, and I am willing to do anything for you.”

“Remember what you’ve said today,” Wu Heng said.

Qi Hancai spoke again, “Don’t worry, I know how difficult it is to survive now, I will never do anything to betray you.”

Wu Heng nodded, took out a bottle of elixir, and handed it to her, saying, “This is the purified elixir; drink it straight away, I’ll watch over you.”

Qi Hancai frowned slightly, subconsciously taking the not-so-large bottle of elixir.

It wasn’t the blood-red Corpse Core.

But rather, a medicinal liquid that looked like it could be eyedrops.

Qi Hancai looked at Wu Heng again, confirming that there was no reason for him to deceive or harm her.

Moreover, with the conversation having come this far, there was no reason to back down.

She opened the bottle cap and tilted her head back to drink.

The elixir flowed down her throat into her stomach, dry and with a warmth.

Then came an accelerated heartbeat, a feeling of tightness in her chest, and a surge of energy spreading rapidly throughout her body.

Her muscles and bones throbbed with pain.

But soon, all kinds of strange sensations gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of vitality and comfort emanating from her body.

She had experienced this feeling once before.

Only, the last time it had been even more painful—like being flayed and having her bones scraped.

An experience so agonizing, one would never wish to endure it a second time.

Now, after taking the elixir, it ended so effortlessly.

It was truly magical.

“How do you feel?” Wu Heng watched her and asked.

Even though Qi Hancai had consumed a Corpse Core before, at this moment, she was drenched with sweat, as if she had been fished out of a river.

Her clothes clung to her body, outlining her stiff figure, and the black bra that faintly showed through.

Qi Hancai revealed an uncontainable joy, “Very good, I can feel the increase in my body’s strength.”

“Hmm, you have a good constitution, you absorbed it quite quickly.”

“Thank you!”

A breeze blew through the window, causing Qi Hancai to shiver suddenly, realizing that her whole body was soaking wet. She instinctively covered her chest, then let go and pushed out her chest slightly.

Thump, thump~!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Wu Heng said.

The door opened, and Xiao Xiao’s mother, ‘Zhao Yanqiu,’ entered.

“Xiao Xiao said you were looking for me.”

“Yes, come in,” Wu Heng said.

Zhao Yanqiu entered the room and saw the somewhat oddly looking Qi Hancai. Her eyes swept over her body and then took a quick glance at Wu Heng.

“Deputy Director Qi,” Zhao Yanqiu said.

Here in the base, they followed the titles common to most other bases.

Wu Heng was the Director, and as the day-to-day manager, Qi Hancai was the Deputy Director.

“Sister Zhao!” Qi Hancai was even more polite.

After exchanging greetings, Qi Hancai said to Wu Heng, “I’ll go back first. Notify me at any time if there is any action.”

“Yes, you can go back now,” Wu Heng replied.

Qi Hancai opened the door and walked straight out.

…

After leaving the room, Qi Hancai took a deep breath to calm herself down.

The fact that he had told her about the elixir signified great trust in her.

Perhaps not as much as ‘Li Yahong’, but within the bases controlled by King Yama, she undoubtedly counted as a confidant.

She walked down the stairs.

She still couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

Looking up again, she suddenly thought that Zhao Yanqiu must also be there to take the elixir.

“She must be doing it because of her daughter Xiao Xiao,” Qi Hancai muttered to herself, increasingly curious about who this ‘Xiao Xiao’ really was.

She managed the entire old factory refuge, and all the survivors had been registered.

Only this frequently mentioned ‘Xiao Xiao’ had never made an appearance.

It was as if she only existed in everyone’s thoughts, never having been seen from the beginning to the end.

At this thought, Qi Hancai felt a chill run down her spine again.

A sense of horror inexplicably rose in her heart.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

It was like watching a horror movie, where all the characters were imagined by the audience and never truly existed.

“So cold.” Qi Hancai shivered her shoulders and went back to her room to change clothes.

…

Zhao Yanqiu stood in the middle, speaking somewhat restraintly, “Do you have any instructions for me?”

Xiao Xiao also revealed herself in mid-air, half-reclining, “Hmph~! Mom’s always got a temper with me.”

Zhao Yanqiu looked up and glared at her.

Wu Heng said, “You’ve heard about the Corpse Core, haven’t you?”

“The radio mentioned it, something inside a zombie’s body.” Zhao Yanqiu spoke.

Even if she hadn’t heard about it before, now that she was in charge of the radio, she naturally knew about the Corpse Core.

Wu Heng spoke directly, “I can provide you with a Corpse Core here, which would be of great benefit to your constitution.”

Zhao Yanqiu frowned, “The success rate of the Corpse Core is quite low.”

Xiao Xiao interrupted from the side, “Uncle’s doesn’t have any side effects, mom, so don’t worry.”

Wu Heng also explained, “I have an elixir here that has no side effects.”

Offering it to Zhao Yanqiu was largely a compensation for ‘Xiao Xiao.’

As one of the first Ghosts who followed him, although she was a bit mischievous, she had indeed provided him with great help.

Whether it was scouting before battles or locating Mutated Zombies.

So now, with an abundance of Corpse Cores to distribute, Xiao Xiao’s mother was also included.

Zhao Yanqiu looked at her daughter, who was nodding earnestly at her, and agreed, “Thank you for your trust.”

Wu Heng handed her the elixir.

Zhao Yanqiu opened the bottle and downed it in one gulp.

Immediately afterward, her body started convulsing, curling into a ball and letting out pained moans.

Xiao Xiao cheered her on from the side, telling her to just hold on a bit longer.

After a short duration of pain, there was a sensation of the body being revitalized.

Zhao Yanqiu wiped her sweaty forehead, “Thank you, I feel like my body has changed a lot.”

“Um, don’t mention this to anyone, not even people within the base, or it could be life-threatening.” Wu Heng continued to caution.

Zhao Yanqiu’s expression grew serious, and she nodded gravely, “I won’t speak of it.”

“Um, go ahead with your tasks!”

Zhao Yanqiu gave a salute again and left the room.

“Thank you, uncle.” Xiao Xiao expressed her gratitude.

“Why be polite? We’re all family here,” said Wu Heng.

“Hehe!” Xiao Xiao chuckled happily and did a loop in the air.

Wu Heng put on a coat, “Xiao Xiao, come back first. We are going to the bus station.”

“Oh, okay!”

Xiao Xiao returned to her body.

Wu Heng, along with the Skeleton, went straight up to the rooftop, climbed onto the Skeleton Flying Dragon’s back, and put on a bandit mask as a windbreak.

With a light pat on the dragon’s neck, they soared into the sky, heading toward the direction of the bus station.

…

Whistling wind filled his ears, and the air flow whipped around the mask like a lash.

If his constitution weren’t several times stronger than that of a normal person, he might have struggled with these speeds.

The journey was a rapid flight.

The Skeleton Flying Dragon arrived directly above the bus station.

The Flying Dragon descended into the yard, and the patrolling survivors, carrying Strong crossbows, hurried over.

Seeing Wu Heng taking off his hood, they immediately lowered their weapons and smiled.

“King Yama.”

“Did you just come back from a raid?”

Wu Heng jumped down from the Flying Dragon and asked, “Where’s Li Yahong?”

“Sister Hong is in a meeting. Should I notify her?”

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “Let her come to my room after the meeting finishes.”

“Oh, alright!!”

…

He returned to his original room.

It was still preserved as it was.

He waited briefly.

The door opened, and Li Yahong, carrying a heavy backpack, walked straight in.

Seeing Wu Heng, she stood at the door with her arms folded across her chest, looking sulky.

Wu Heng saw her demeanor and felt somewhat amused. He opened his arms and said, “Come here!”

“You…,” Li Yahong hesitated, glared at him, but still walked over and fell into his embrace.

Wu Heng wrapped his arms around her, asking, “Miss me?”

“Miss my ass.” She retorted, yet still snuggled forcefully into his embrace.

Wu Heng pinched her cheek, lifting her face, and planted a forceful kiss upon her lips.
