- Witnesses?
After thinking, Su Feng said: - The owner of this house.
He didn't know many people here and couldn't remember anyone other than the homeowner.
- What were you doing before nightfall? - the guard continued asking.
- I was working out in my room.
- Have you met any strange people lately?
- No!
The guard leaned over, looked into the room, and said, "We're going to search your place."
Wu Heng also looked around and, feeling that there was nothing in the room, just stepped aside: "Okay."
The guard walking ahead glanced to the side, and the second guard standing behind him immediately entered and began to look around.
The room was small, and there weren't too many things inside.
Looking away, he looked at the guard again and asked, "What happened?"
The guard's eyes didn't change, and he casually replied, "Last night a corpse was found in a crowded place, and it was mutilated."
A corpse, nothing unusual.
The conclusion in the Crowded District case was relatively simple.
Traces at the scene, the logic of a person's words, testimonies of residents of the area - all this could be used as evidence to make a decision.
But as long as it is done secretly, it is difficult to break the case.
Just as if there is evidence pointing to you, even if you didn't do it, it's still hard to prove you're right.
When it comes time to arrest you and chop you into pieces, there will be no one to talk to.
As for Wu Heng, he was a necromancer, and in the city he was the main focus, and when something like this happened in the vicinity, he had to focus on the interrogation.
Others were simply asked questions, but in his case it was a full inspection.
- Not much evidence? - Wu Heng continued asking.
- Apart from some potentially dangerous people, we can't rule out that wanted criminals have infiltrated the city, - the guard looked at him.
At this point, the guards who were searching the room came out and slightly shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing.
The guard at the door didn't linger any longer and said, "If you have any evidence, you can provide it to us, and then you will get a certain reward."
- Okay, - Wu Heng agreed, but didn't take it to heart.
In this world, even a woman cannot be beaten...
The guards didn't say anything more and went to the next house to find out about the situation and instruct about safety.
Wu Heng locked the door to his room and went to the nearest tavern to eat.
...
After eating, he headed straight for the zombie world.
Taking the skeletal warriors with him, Wu Heng approached the iron door of the last block.
Opening it, he felt the cold and the thick smell of decay.
As soon as his feet stepped over the threshold, hissing and running sounds came from below.
Three zombies stumbled and ran.
Seeing the skeletal army that appeared, they let out an ominous roar.
- Attack! - Wu Heng ordered with an iron spear in his hand pointed forward.
*Crash!*
The skeletal warriors continued to swing the choppers in their hands, and the sound of chopping meat could be heard.
Soon all the zombies were killed.
[Experience gained +8].
[Skeletal warrior experience +5.]
[...]
[Your level has risen to level 3, Intelligence +1, Charisma +1 and +a small amount of Mental power].
At the moment when the third zombie fell, Wu Heng's level grew.
An increase in intelligence and charisma in attributes.
It didn't seem like a random increase, otherwise one of them wouldn't have been fixed on Intelligence.
However, the exact logic by which it was increased was still unclear.
Approaching the corpses and releasing the bone serving technique, three skeletons stood up and joined his army.
- Forward! - Wu Heng ordered, and the skeleton team began to go down.
The number of zombies in the building was small, and it posed no particular danger to the current skeletal warriors.
Clearing the entire path to the first floor and making sure the building door was closed, they began leading the skeletons, opening doors one by one, clearing zombies and collecting loot.
Clearing the top floor was easier than the previous ones.
There were no deformed zombie dogs here, and the doors of the unit were closed.
It took half a day to clear the entire building.
Zombie dogs easily killed zombies, and if there were more, skeletal warriors had no trouble rushing at them all at once.
Confidence arose in Wu Heng's heart.
It didn't seem so difficult to deal with zombies.
The whole building was cleared of zombies, and not a single survivor was found.
This made him wonder if the zombie virus wasn't spreading through the air or in some special way.
After all, he was the only one left in this world.
Perhaps Teddy, who retained his hobbies from his previous life, was considered the only old-timer.
...
Leaving the building.
The skeletal warriors began to carry out the loot, and Wu Heng stood on the roof of the building, casually commanding, pondering his further plan.
The whole building was cleared of zombies.
If he wanted to continue killing zombies to gain experience, he had to go outside.
Below, about fifty to sixty zombies had gathered, and it didn't seem like that many.
However, as soon as the fight starts, zombies will come from all sides, which will make the fight exponentially more difficult.
If you can't handle it, all these skeletons will be lost, and Wu Heng himself will be in danger.
In addition to a direct attack, there was another way.
From the side of the roof of the building to construct a ladder, which should be installed halfway between the two floors, move to the roof of the neighboring building, and then continue clearing one block at a time.
This option would be safer.
If you stand on the edge and look around, the buildings are about five to six meters apart.
You need to find a long board or buy an iron ladder in Blackstone.
Although the height was a little dangerous, it was much more reliable than rushing at zombies and facing them face to face.
The only thing that remained in question was whether the stupid skeletal warriors could pass through it without any problems.
Six floors is also enough to smash them to smithereens.
Pondering, he went downstairs and found a climbing rope, intending to throw it to measure the distance between the buildings.
*Bam-boom-bang-bang!*
From the side of the road to the west came a loud sound.
Looking up, Wu Heng looked in the direction of the sound source.
There was a wasteland-style bus violently colliding with zombies and damaged cars standing in front of it.
Throughout the collision, it drove forward.
On both sides of the passenger car, sturdy iron plates were welded, and the window was an iron bar as thick as a thumb.
Through the gaps in the iron bars, iron pipes piercing the zombies climbing on them could be seen.
And in the rear of the bus lay a large strip of zombies.
Even more zombies, attracted by the sound of the collision, ran out of the blocks on both sides and joined the team chasing the bus.
There were more and more of them, as in a movie.
Even from a distance, you can feel the fear and suffocation caused by the corpses.
Wu Heng immediately ordered the skeletons to stop any movement and move away from the edge of the building.
He himself stared intently at the bus that had broken through the zombies.
- Survivors!
There were still survivors who intended to flee.
