It works the same way as a crossbow, you aim here, and fire directly at close range.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basen listened carefully, absorbing the new knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was adept with a crossbow, so learning how to use a handgun wouldn’t be too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he picked up the handgun, tried to unlock the safety, and aimed at the wooden target in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wu Heng advised him not to waste bullets, he returned to the table to reload the empty magazines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several guns, all of the same model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magazines were meant for him. If a real fight broke out, he could swap magazines instead of clumsily loading one bullet at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, scavenging the public security bureau was the right decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were only handgun bullets for now, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he got hold of rifles or rocket launchers in the future, he wondered if he could form a special Skeleton unit, each member armed with an AK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an era like this, using cold weapons was somewhat absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reloading several magazines, dusk gradually descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he made sure no one was coming to find him, he opened the boundary door and called Jianyi over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to instruct himself in swordsmanship again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he learned that he could unlock weapon specialties through the panel, he had developed an increased curiosity towards weapon training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like playing a game and unlocking achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting his stance, Wu Heng started to swing the iron sword in sync with Jianyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Basen continued exploring the handgun on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Zombie World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng went to the rooftop and checked the level of the spear-wielding Skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the very first Skeleton, two more had reached level three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level progress was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could form a Spear Array to draw in enemies and increase his and the Skeletons’ levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method was relatively safe and efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After distributing kitchen knives to newly transformed Skeletons, Wu Heng led his skeleton army down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon leaving the stairwell, there were five or six dismembered zombies growling and lurching his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How were there more zombies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already cleaned up his building three or four times. Where did they wander off from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack!” Wu Heng gave the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any formation, the Skeleton Warriors stormed forward, cutting down every zombie that tried to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng went to the pile of zombies bodies he didn’t finish transforming yesterday and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeletons stood up one by one and walked into the ranks at the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the transformation of the bodies was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led his Skeleton army once more to clear out the residential buildings to the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they threw open the door to the complex, the Skeletons piled in, killing the zombies inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he confirmed it was safe, Wu Heng began to loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon it was evening, and Wu Heng returned to the roof with his Skeletons, ready to go back to Black Stone Town for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>arranging his troop of Skeletons for a standby, he was about to leave using the boundary door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, there were roars of zombies and the sound of chaos from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng peered down from the edge of the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw three gigantic Mutated Dogs leading more than twenty zombies running in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ran a few steps, then turned to wait for the trailing zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it was you who lured them here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few dismembered zombies found this morning had been led here by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Mutated Dogs were huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, with black fur and a lean frame, had a narrow head, a long neck, and tall, straight limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the mutation, this shape was far from the usual canine form, looking more like a black, dog-headed horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you three come here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were the same Mutated Dogs he had encountered at a small plaza down south. But this time, they had wandered over here and even brought some zombies with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the three dogs playing with the zombies below, then glanced at Teddy squatting nearby, also looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletal tail wagged like a fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we bait them and kill them?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1488,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.206Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","7732ac097114985889d768a941509f11c7b174cf41fd6de8b4527333623bd5e9","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-32","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-30",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
