The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Its body was full of wounds and arrows stuck in its abdomen, with thick green fluid oozing out of the cuts.

Its ferocious mouthparts relentlessly chewing on something.

This Team 8 is not competent.

How did we let it come over here!

The spider’s circular web should have an alarm function.

We didn’t make any significant moves on our side, they shouldn’t have noticed us.

“Team Leader, what should we do?” Duke, gripping an axe in both hands, stood up.

“You take them and go first, I’ll hold off these spiders,” Wu Heng said.

Boom boom boom~!

At the same time, Basen and Bawudong, began to pull the triggers.

Orange bullets shot out, sweeping the rushing spider swarm.

“Who? Me?” Duke swang his axe, “Team Leader, you are the Mage, you should go first.”

“Am I the team leader, or are you? Listen to me, you take them and go first, wait for me at the Chaos Stone Bridge. Hurry up…,” Wu Heng said urgently.

Duke glanced at the rapidly approaching spiders, then back at Wu Heng.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay!”

Shouldering one person, the rest dragging the tail of the spider cocoon, they plunged into the nearby jungle.

“Shoot the giant spider.” Wu Heng said, before running towards the door behind him.

Opening the boundary door, skeletons started to march out in long strides.

“Attack!” Wu Heng immediately ordered.

Clattering~!

The skeleton squad charged bravely, holding kitchen knives, and slashing at the spiders in front of them.

In an instant, the skeletons and spiders smashed into each other, fighting each other fiercely.

The skeletons were armed, but the spider swarm’s body size and their ability to climb trees were still extremely tricky.

As spiders fell dead, skeletons were also being scattered into bones.

“Bawudong, go kill those big ones.” Wu Heng said directly.

Bawudong took off his armor, revealing his iron-grey skeleton, leaped up and lunged at the giant spider.

Each punch resonated, striking the spider’s bloated abdomen.

Already bearing significant injuries, green thick fluid squirted out with each punch.

Seizing the opportunity.

Bawudong smashed his fist into the spider’s cavity, and the shock wave exploded in its chest.

The whole spider fell down softly.

Meanwhile, the remaining battling small spiders scattered quickly, disappearing into the forest.

Is it over?

The little spiders ran away just like that?

At this moment, Xiao Xiao flew back from afar and said, “Uncle, the people from Team 8 have left, they didn’t wait for you.”

At the start of the battle.

Wu Heng had Xiao Xiao watch Team 8.

It seemed that by luring the swarm of spiders away, they were given an opportunity to escape.

That’s good too.

If all the members of Team 8 died here while nothing happened to us, it would be hard to explain.

“Well, Xiao Xiao is really great.”

Xiao Xiao crossed her arms and said, “I’m not a child, your flattery won’t work on me.”

“Xiao Xiao is so smart, even picked up on that.”

“Indeed.”

Have Xiao Xiao continue to scout the surroundings, in case the people from Team 8 return.

Wu Heng continues to order the skeletons, “Put down those cocoons, carry all the bodies back.”

The skeletons started moving again.

They took down the cocoons hanging on the trees along the road, and all the spider bodies scattered on the ground, and carried everything back through the boundary door.

Whether they could be used or not, they should be brought back.

We’ll decide later if they have any use.

After dealing with the matters on-site and making sure no one else had arrived or could find them…

They started moving towards the direction of Chaos Stone Bridge.

…

“Captain, over here!” Duke said, standing up with a look of joy on his face, waving his hand.

The three people they had rescued next to Duke had all regained consciousness.

With ashen faces and cracked lips.

They didn’t know whether they were poisoned, or if it was the result of not being found for two days.

“Stop shouting, you’ll attract some beasts,” Wu Heng said as he, Basen, and Bawudong approached.

Duke leaned in and said, “Captain, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, as long as you guys managed to escape, then I can too.”

“Captain, you’re really amazing.”

Wu Heng looked at the three rescued people and asked, “Are you all okay?”

The one named ‘Abudu’ quickly said, “Thank you, Captain, for rescuing us.”

“It’s just our duty, let’s go back first so you guys can start recovering.”

Wu Heng glanced around and frowned, saying, “Damn it, where’s our carriage?”

“I checked the tracks, it should have been the 8th team who took it away, Captain, they went too far, they ran away and then took our carriage.” Duke said with some anger.

Wu Heng also felt annoyed.

He could put up with what had happened earlier, but what the hell was up with them taking the carriage?

“I’m sorry, we had prepared a carriage, but someone took it away while we were busy,” Wu Heng turned and said to the three weakened men.

“Ah! There’s nothing we can do,” the middle-aged man said.

“Let’s go, we have no choice but to walk. Maybe we’ll run into a convoy on the way and they can give us a lift for a part of the journey.”

With each other’s support, they started walking out.

…

In the chief steward’s office.

Chief Steward Gomez looked at the members of the 8th team who had suddenly burst in, his brow furrowed.

The men were in complete disarray, all of them wounded, particularly the beastman warrior who had lost half of his arm.

Although they had already dressed the wound, blood was still seeping through the gauze.

This was a severe injury.

Bone fractures and internal injuries could be treated.

But a severed limb made things particularly complicated, especially in Lundham City where it couldn’t be directly restored.

The steward lightly pulled a cord, ringing a bell outside the door.

An employee walked in.

“Prepare some medicine, we need to treat the injured,” the steward ordered.

Soon, a rescue team came in and began to tend to their injuries.

“So the mission failed?” The steward asked the captain of the 8th team.

“Steward, the mission failed. The location of the rescue target contained a vicious swarm of giant spiders. We couldn’t rescue the target,” Fisher sighed.

“You did your best. Just give me the location and information, and I’ll send someone else to take a look,” the steward said.

“Okay!”

“Take your team members to get treated. The Association will cover your medical expenses,” the steward continued.

Fisher nodded, but didn’t leave right away, continuing to speak, “Steward, I want to talk about the 12th team.”

“Oh, where are they?”

“Steward, the 12th team didn’t participate in the investigation on the way. When facing the spider swarm, they directly abandoned us and escaped. This caused heavy losses in our team. If they had stayed and fought, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

At these words, the steward’s brow furrowed more deeply.

Escaping from the battlefield and abandoning their companions…

In this world, that’s considered the biggest taboo.

Even some private groups and small organizations wouldn’t allow this to happen.

Especially for an organization like the Association, which had evolved from adventure teams.

When teams go on the same mission, they aren’t separate teams any longer, they’re a single unit.

Leaving their companions to survive was inexcusable, no matter the reason.

“Steward!” cried Fisher, putting both hands on the desk. “Abandoning teammates in the midst of battle, this is a great taboo. I hope the Association will remove his captain status in the team, and, in addition to attempted murder charges, issue a wanted notice.”
