The effects weren’t noticeable, but the side effects were quite significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Detoxifying Potion, the chances of being infected by the virus were extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, awakening superpowers was entirely a matter of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the abilities shown by Chen Jinlong were clearly those of an awakened superpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His luck and ruthlessness were indeed more suitable for this post-apocalyptic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Jinlong jumping out of the window, Wu Heng immediately ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bawudong took a step forward and followed him, jumping down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Big Head controlled the skeleton warriors outside to start converging towards Chen Jinlong’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no intention of letting him go in the first place, and now it was even less likely to let him escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge number of skeletons started closing in from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong’s face looked even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He changed his location, attempting to escape towards an area where fewer skeletons were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just after he had run a few steps, the horde of skeletons blocked his path as if they knew what he was planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more skeletons wielding kitchen knives, slowly advanced forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They surrounded him and gradually tightened the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! What kind of monster is this?” Chen Jinlong continued to curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shotgun slung on his back was swung forward and he fired two rounds, instantly shattering two skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of gunfire acted like a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the skeletons began to charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of rattling bones could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong cursed again and smashed a skeleton with his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a swift cheetah, he quickly rushed into a weak spot in the group of skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists continuously struck out, knocking down several skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be seen that Chen Jinlong did have a certain foundation in combat, and his fighting consciousness was a notch stronger than most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the brief exchange, he managed to knock down all of the surrounding skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something any regular person could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a strong sense of danger rose from his heart. Chen Jinlong instinctively ducked and shifted half a step to the right—an iron-grey skeleton fist brushed past his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong wind whistled past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-level opponent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this thought crossed Chen Jinlong’s mind, a second punch landed on his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puk~! Blood and bile gushed out from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was sent flying backward, knocking down a crowd of skeletons behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing an array of kitchen knives descending towards him, he quickly rolled to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron-grey skeleton was approaching him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong gritted his teeth and rushed into the middle of the Kitchen Knife Skeletons at his rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to forcefully break out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Wu Heng and his men arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Jinlong trying to break out, he fired two shots into the crowd of skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets passed through the hollow skeletons and hit Chen Jinlong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered, and two bullet holes appeared in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong glared at him fiercely, the red veins on his body became denser, the muscles around the bullet holes squirmed, slowing the bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him!” Wu Heng continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud Thud Thud~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Guy and Second Chunk directly charged up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd of skeletons in the front instantly cleared a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud, Big Guy sent Chen Jinlong flying and crashing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, Big Guy and Second Chunk followed. Without waiting for him to get up, their fists, wearing iron gloves, directly pounded down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a pile driver, they rained down blows on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can… *cough*… talk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was my fault…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I surrender, I surrender, give me… one chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong still kept shouting, trying to communicate with Wu Heng’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never managed to stand up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the notification of gained experience appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It confirmed the death of Chen Jinlong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng ordered Big Guy and Second Chunk to stop. If they continued, they would turn the body into mush and not even a skeleton could be summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the skeletons clean the battlefield. Kill everyone wielding a weapon.” Wu Heng ordered directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rattle Rattle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding skeletons were once again dispersed, spreading over the entire prison area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began to move the bodies and collect scattered guns and ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong was dead, the entire prison was now under their control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few who had hidden would be found by the skeletons sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as a sound of a fight arose, they would be besieged by the skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletons dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng once again headed towards the building where Chen Jinlong had been previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, he saw Li Yahong standing on the lower floor, in front of her was a woman lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there… any hope for her?” Li Yahong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was used by Chen Jinlong as a cushion when he jumped from the fourth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest had caved in, and fresh blood was constantly gushing out from her mouth and nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he wouldn’t make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked to be in his twenties, quite young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whip marks of a dark red color were still visible on his exposed skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have suffered a lot while he was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept vomiting fresh blood, laying on the ground, looking at the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t fear the skeletons around him, his eyes reflected helplessness, confusion, and a sense of liberation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many emotions contained in his gaze, silent, complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng walked over, gently touched the collapsed chest, the injuries were too serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like his ribs had even pierced his organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the modern world, it would be difficult for him to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng sighed, took out a healing potion, and said, “Drink this potion, whether you can live or not is up to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pried open her mouth and poured the potion in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was vomiting fresh blood and swallowing hard at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like she didn’t want to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find her a room, let’s see if she can manage to survive till daybreak,” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yahong nodded, let the skeletons carry her and settled her into a room on the ground floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky gradually brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton, clad in leather armor and holding a spear, took its place by the wall, standing still like a statue with its hollow eye sockets facing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire prison still remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the battlefield cleanup, a few gunshots rang out at some places, but they quickly subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies, along with their weapons, were dragged here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cement floor was littered with piles of bodies, filling the air with a heavy smell of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng’s gaze first fell on Chen Jinlong’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately activated the Bone Manipulation Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Necromancy wrapped around the body, the flesh fell off, revealing a grisly white skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeleton Warrior (Level 7)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level: 7\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attributes: Constitution 17, Strength 16, Agility 14, Intelligence 12, Perception 11, Charm 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Features: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expertise: Combat Specialization (Basic), Weapon Specialization (Basic).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability: Potential Outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potential Outburst: Temporarily enhances the body, improves physical state, and reduces pain and other negative effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong’s attributes looked rather ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at the same level as Basen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attribute panel was much simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from higher attribute values, there was nothing special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also conformed to the characteristics of the people in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Potential Outburst ability should be his superpower that allowed him to suddenly exhibit strong combat abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability seemed to be able to temporarily increase combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed quite useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are still called Chen Jinlong, go stand over there!” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chen Jinlong who had become a skeleton walked out of the rotting flesh and stood aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng pulled out an iron rod and searched in the fallen chunky flesh, but there was no Corpse Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that upon death of superpowered men, there was no drop like a Corpse Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were Corpse Core drops from superpowered men, that would be truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After converting Chen Jinlong, Wu Heng continued to use ‘Dead Bones Battlefield’ to convert all other bodies into skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many bodies, less than a hundred in total, all converted in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And through ‘Communicate with the dead,’ it seemed that there were just over a hundred people in the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not many were left after this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a room that looked like an office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng found a layout map of the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire prison could be divided into three areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prisoner area, guard area, and the functional area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the prisoner area, there were cell buildings, isolation rooms, a dining hall, medical room, library, recreational room, and labor reform rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard area consisted of offices, dormitories, as well as an armory and ammunition storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The functional area comprised buildings like garages, warehouses, generator rooms, changing rooms, boiler rooms, pumping rooms, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this layout plan, Wu Heng was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment inside this prison seemed to be better than where he used to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was everything so complete?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even had separate generator rooms, pump rooms, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a self-contained small city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the spotlights here were still on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took a look, marked the location of the armory, and led the skeletons there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ammunition store had been tampered with, and the door was locked with an old lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing the skeleton to break it open with a fire axe, he entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the weapons cabinet, Wu Heng’s eyes gradually widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were over two hundred rifles and submachine guns left in the weapons cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding up those collected from outside made it more than five hundred in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems like this trip wasn’t for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Packing up all the arms, he continued to lead the skeletons towards the ammunition storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, they broke open the lock and entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxes of ammunition were stacked up against the wall, piled half a person high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Heng opened one box after another, his face lit up with barely concealed joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be enough for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>",1796,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","91399ecbd7681dd93fd623e08fea9b9b2b41931894dc247600a4cde014fdb251","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-125","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-123",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
