The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

It was not for shooting people, but for destroying vehicles or some equipment and shelters.

A machine gun could kill a swath of enemies; machine cannon bullets were bigger, so naturally, their power was also greater.

Wu Heng looked it over carefully and felt quite satisfied.

“How to operate, give me a rundown.”

The machine cannon was mounted on an iron frame, and it seemed it could be controlled to a large extent.

Yang Long and the others smiled, came forward, and explained a bit, how to operate it, and how to turn it in different directions.

Without a control system, it needed to be operated by someone manually.

Just like a machine gun, aim and fire at the enemy.

…

“Hmm, the grain is on truck outside the market,” Wu Heng stated directly.

Although he didn’t have the chance to test fire it, he was quite satisfied with the machine cannon.

“I’ll go with you to fetch it, then get some people to haul the machine cannon out for you,” said Yang Long.

“Okay!”

They chatted as they walked out of the camp.

Wang Chenggang had also bought some tools in the market and was having people load them onto the back of a truck.

Wu Heng went over and had his people start transporting the grain.

Because there was a large quantity, they didn’t bother to differentiate between rice and flour, just threw it out.

Whatever they grabbed counted.

Seeing how swiftly the other party worked, Yang Long and his people guessed they had plenty of resources.

While unloading the grain, Yang Long said, “Next time you want something, come directly to me, and I’ll arrange the goods for you, so you don’t have to waste time in line.”

“Hmm!” Wu Heng nodded.

Soon, the grain was unloaded, and Yang Long and his people began to inspect it.

Once confirmed as correct, Yang Long grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, “Bring the machine cannon and ammunition over.”

At this moment, a truck appeared from the inside and drove out.

Using tools, they transported the machine cannon to Wu Heng’s truck.

Once everything was ready,

Wu Heng had the canvas cover secured on the truck’s top, “Captain Yang, we’ll be heading back now.”

“Mhm, take care!”

Wu Heng waved, and the convoy started off, leaving directly.

Yang Long also, along with his people and a large amount of grain, crossed the market under the greedy gazes of other shelters and entered the innermost side.

…

At the market entrance.

The onlooking crowd dispersed, leaving five people who didn’t move.

They still watched the departing truck.

One cursed, “They actually traded so much grain for a machine cannon, dammit!”

“I’ve been watching. They unloaded the grain from one truck, the other two definitely had a lot of good stuff too, and there were just a few of them,” another added.

“Boss, should we follow and take a look? If we can’t fight on this side, could we not take down those few shrimps?”

“They just got that machine cannon, you want to get blasted to heaven or what?”

“I noticed the machine cannon and the ammo were stored separately. If we make a swift attack, they won’t have time to get ready,” the schemer glanced at the parked vehicles, “Didn’t we just trade for a rocket launcher? At the right moment, hit them with a couple of rounds. Trade a rocket launcher for a machine cannon, it’s worth it!”

Aside, the bald, Goat Beard man furrowed his brow in thought.

In this world, it’s either kill or be killed.

A few people came along with so much grain, proving they weren’t very bright.

Could be a chance for a big score.

Glancing around and seeing no one else following, he said decisively, “Let’s go, follow them. After this job, we won’t have to worry about food or women.”

“Good, we’ll listen to the boss.”

“Listen to the boss.”

The few of them spoke and headed towards the parking spot.

Then, a pickup and several SUVs filled with people charged out,

chasing in the direction the truck had disappeared.

…

On the truck.

“The goods here are so cheap!” Qi Hancai exclaimed.

“Yeah, grain is a necessity, and it’s decreasing as it’s consumed. We have plenty of grain, so it feels cheaper. For other shelters, though, it’s not cheap,” Wu Heng shared his thoughts.

This was because they were getting supplies from the Otherworld.

Otherwise, with the number of survivors in the auto repair shop, relying on scrounged supplies, it was doubtful whether they could have held on.

If that were really the case, we wouldn’t even want to trade machine cannons, let alone rifles and bullets, for fear that we might go hungry the next time.

Trading away even a little bit might mean starvation next time.

Qi Hancai’s expression stiffened, “Hmm, you’re right, thank you for feeding all of us.”

“The base is built by everyone, there’s no feeding or not feeding!”

Qi Hancai showed a smile, “If you were in command of our region, I would have joined you long ago.”

“It’s not too late now.”

“Hey! Anyway, still…”

As Qi Hancai spoke, Wu Heng suddenly extended his hand, stopping her from saying more.

He listened intently to the outside.

Qi Hancai also became tense immediately and checked the surroundings through the rearview mirror.

Wu Heng said, “Ask the last vehicle if there’s any convoy approaching?”

Qi Hancai quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and repeated Wu Heng’s words.

Soon, the last vehicle responded, “No vehicles detected.”

“No vehicles!” Qi Hancai said.

Wu Heng shook his head, “Impossible!”

He was just about to have Xiao Xiao fly up high into the sky to take a look.

Suddenly, several off-road vehicles flashed past quickly through the gaps between the buildings at the side of the road.

Both of them saw the off-road vehicles.

There indeed were vehicles following us.

Whoosh~!

At that moment, a pickup truck suddenly charged onto the road from the side, driving parallel to Wu Heng’s truck.

The canvas cover on the back was lifted, revealing the dark iron of a machine gun.

The gun barrel swiveled, aiming at the position of the truck.

“Fuck you, I’ll send you to see your mama!” The man laughed wildly, ready to pull the trigger.

Woosh~!

Suddenly, a force came through.

The machine gun’s barrel was abruptly raised skyward.

No matter how hard the man tried, he couldn’t turn the barrel back down.

And ‘Qi Hancai’ seized the opportunity, turned the steering wheel sharply, and rammed directly into the pickup.

Bang~!

A loud crash sounded.

The two vehicles collided.

The military truck trembled slightly, while the pickup with the machine gun became instantly unbalanced, swaying left to right, crashing into the roadside wrecked cars, with its hood flying open and thick smoke billowing out.

Then four more off-road vehicles emerged from one side and followed suit.

Car windows rolled down, and several rifles were extended out.

Before they could fire,

The rifle barrels, likewise uncontrollable, spun around, aiming skyward and groundward, but never forward.

Wu Heng drew his pistol and, using the effect of the “Hunting Ring,” fired two shots at the open window of the off-road vehicles.

Two bullets accurately hit the driver in the driver’s seat.

The off-road vehicle started to lose control, crashing into a bus shelter on the side.

Then ‘bang bang bang,’ three more shots were fired.

Hitting the tires of three off-road vehicles respectively.

The bodies rolled, and the sound of crashing, accompanied by flying parts, scattered chaos everywhere.

The appearance of the off-road convoy, to their disappearance, lasted only a few minutes.

Some people hadn’t even realized what had happened.

The battle had already ended.

If everything hadn’t been seen so clearly, and if the other side hadn’t brought out machine guns and rifles, one might not have believed such events could have happened upon hearing about them.

“Anybody hurt?” Qi Hancai asked through the walkie-talkie.

“No!”

“No injuries here either!”

The two military trucks directly responded.

Through the rearview mirror, several people crawled out of their vehicles, cursing in the direction of the truck.

Qi Hancai looked away from the rearview mirror and said, “Some people have climbed out of the cars; they seem to be alright.”

“Reverse the truck, let’s go kill them!”

“Oh, okay!” Qi Hancai picked up the walkie-talkie, “Reverse, let’s go back and finish them off.”

“Roger that!”

“Received!”

The convoy immediately reversed, approaching the overturned vehicle’s location quickly.

…

Under the bus shelter,

Goat Beard and his men struggled to crawl out from inside the vehicle. They were lucky that this sector’s zombies had been cleared away, or else they might have been attacked and killed by a horde.

After coughing loudly twice, forcefully slapping the smoke-emitting hood twice, he cursed, “Damn it, the gun moved by itself.”

One underling said, “Must be a Superpowered Man; we’ve encountered a Superpowered Man.”

“Damn, what the hell, anyone could be a Superpowered Man.”

“Go check on the others, pull out anyone who’s alive.” Goat Beard instructed and continued to mutter curses, “I remember that kid and that girl, next time I’ll just use a Rocket Launcher to blow…”.

He was cut off mid-sentence,

His gaze turned puzzledly forward.

He saw the three trucks that had already left the field of view quickly reverse back towards them, with the tarpaulin on the back shaking.

It seemed like something was going to come down from it.
