The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1380 - 991, Lu An’s Letter

Chapter 1380: Chapter 991, Lu An’s Letter

Based on the timing, the drastic changes in the Yeko Kingdom must have already reached the ears of the Holy Court.

Given their understanding, the upper echelons of the Holy Court mostly believe that these missing clergy have long since perished.

After all, compared to the fall of the Pope, the life and death of a few low-level executors are truly insignificant.

Wu Heng casually waved his hand, unclenching the Archbishop’s closed mouth, and the Archbishop whimpered twice, shouted with wide eyes: "Let me go! Wu Heng, you can’t do this! You’re the leader of the association, you should abide by...."

Roar~!

Before the words were finished,

The Archbishop’s roar echoed down the corridor, and the prisons on both sides erupted with sporadic roars of the dead, resounding throughout the entire prison.

Here...!

The clamorous clergy suddenly quieted down, constantly looking around, fearfully staring at the iron door from where the howl emanated.

Here is the Necromancer’s research base.

He indeed has a research base.

The clergy were roughly dragged by the Skeleton Guards, and their boots scratched disorderly marks on the concrete floor, their eyes filled with greater fear.

Feeling hopeless.

The Necromancer before them absolutely wouldn’t allow any of them to see this place and still walk out alive.

Thump thump thump~!

One iron door after another closed, all clergy members were separated and imprisoned in the cells.

"Prepare them some food, let them recover overnight, and transform them into zombies tomorrow," Wu Heng instructed the Skeleton Alchemy Warlock.

The Alchemy skull drooped as it accepted the order, then turned and left.

Wu Heng waved his hand and walked out.

Piao lay back on his shoulder, saying, "I had forgotten about these people...."

Bella said, "Probably if they aren’t let out, they’ll starve to death inside."

"Revive them when dead, kill them again anyways, they are all bad guys," Piao said from the side.

Lady said, "I can tell, Piao is the fiercest among us."

"You mean I’m the smartest, Auntie?"

Stepping out of the prison zone.

Wu Heng got into the off-road car in the garage and said to the driver, "Go to the Central Mall."

The skeleton driver stepped on the accelerator, the off-road car’s engine roared as it left the prison.

The car windows were half open, the weather turned to spring, wasn’t as cold as winter.

Four ghosts squeezed in the back seat, Piao cradled a phone, browsing forums, occasionally letting out giggles; the other three ghosts crowded together, listening to her explain those strange internet terms.

Arriving at the Central District.

Wu Heng pushed open the door to Li Yahong’s office and walked straight in.

Li Yahong sat behind her desk, leafing through a stack of documents.

Hearing the noise, she looked up and glanced, her tone carrying a hint of teasing, "Yo, finally unwilling to stay in prison? I thought you planned to stay until the zombies were all gone."

Wu Heng sat opposite her, leaning casually against the back of the chair, smiling, "Why, your tone sounds like a neglected little wife?"

Li Yahong snorted lightly, closing the documents, "Some people disappear for half a month without a word, can’t I complain a little?"

"Alright, alright, my fault, I’ll come back more often," Wu Heng changed the subject, "How’s things been around here lately?"

Li Yahong’s expression softened, "Overall pretty smooth, however... Qi Hancai mentioned that the Dawn Alliance is discussing the closure of the blood serum research project."

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "Blood serum research stopped? Why?"

Blood serum is the antidote to the zombie virus, it’s always been a major focus of research at all bases.

The world channel never stops discussing blood serum, some even view it as humanity’s last hope for survival.

Li Yahong said, "Details are unclear, Qi Hancai mentioned it briefly, and it stuck with me."

Wu Heng nodded, "Give Qi Hancai a call, I want to ask her about the situation."

Li Yahong nodded, dialed the communicator, and soon Qi Hancai’s image appeared on the screen.

"What’s up?" Qi Hancai asked.

Wu Heng squeezed onto the screen, "Heard the blood serum research was ending?"

Qi Hancai’s expression was serious, nodding, "They’ve held three meetings, basically reached a consensus."

"Why? Wasn’t the discussion pretty good before!" Wu Heng asked.

Qi Hancai sighed, explaining, "All major research directions failed, and the experiments require precise instruments and massive resources.

Now all the major bases are mostly stabilized, zombie threats are reduced, so the alliance internally believes it’s better to shift resources from the bottomless pit of research to antibody vaccines and genetic development... after all, there are too few relevant researchers now."

Wu Heng rubbed his chin, "Aren’t they worried about the virus reigniting?"

The origin of this zombie virus is still a mystery, some say it was leaked from a major country’s lab, some blame it on ancient viruses revived due to climate warming, even some suggest it was cosmic radiation effects.

Regardless, no one can guarantee it won’t appear again, causing massive, unanticipated infections.

"Of course they’re worried, wouldn’t have united for joint research initially otherwise," Qi Hancai shrugged, "But the reality is, research has stalled, tough choice to make."

Wu Heng pondered momentarily, then said, "I’ll try to get people to develop the serum, if it works, it’ll give us another core industry."

Qi Hancai was shocked: "You guys?"

"Just give it a shot, no harm done, and if it succeeds!" Wu Heng smiled.

There was previously a Corpse Core Antidote Potion, and afterwards in the prison, the Alchemy Skeleton conducted many biological corpseification experiments.

Developing a serum shouldn’t be difficult.

Both Qi Hancai and Li Yahong were stunned to hear this message, but quickly accepted it.
