I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Xia Xi's current ability is not enough to support the two skeletons to stand up on their own.Just waking them up and supporting half of their bodies is already the limit.

The two skeletons seemed to be aware of each other's existence. They turned their heads, looked at each other, and then looked towards Xia Xi expressionlessly.

The power of the undead exists only in the bones. Even if the penis is still there and has not decayed, they still cannot speak or laugh.

But Xia Xi could feel the gratitude and joy they conveyed from his consciousness.

【No thanks, Zhang Lin saved you all, I was just helping. 】Through spells, Xia Xi can communicate with the undead.

Undead do not communicate clear words.They can only convey vague consciousness, like children who can't speak yet, can only yell.But necromancers can perceive their thoughts from that vague consciousness.

[You want to repay?That's right, I just need a hand bone. 】

The two corpses looked at each other hesitantly, and then stretched out a hand at the same time. The metacarpal and phalanx below the wrist came out of the skin, floated in front of Xia Xi, and reassembled into the shape of a hand. If you look carefully, the right hand is bigger than the left hand. The bones should be slightly larger.

This time it was Xia Xi's turn to be surprised.He blinked his eyes, thinking that he didn't express clearly, so he repeated his request: [One is enough, there is no need for a pair. 】

But those two hands were very persistently clasped together, as if they were unwilling to separate.

【I see. 】Xia Xi stopped insisting, took out the prepared small bag, and let a pair of hand bones drill into it.

[Do you have any other requirements for the burial place? 】

The two skeletons glanced at each other, then lay back on the bed side by side, and hugged each other stiffly.Chest to chest, nose to nose.

Xia Xi remembered that when he returned to the burnt palace, what he saw was the pair of tightly hugged, charred skeletons—the remains of his father and mother.

Xia Xi's beautiful purple eyes were covered with mist, her Adam's apple slid up and down, and her voice softened involuntarily: 【So, good night, both of you. 】

When Xia Xi put away the bag, her mood had returned to normal.He nodded to Zhang Lin: "All right."

Zhang Linyun glanced at the two who were lying peacefully, and asked in a low voice, "What was it just now? The ghosts of Uncle Yuan and Auntie?"

"No, it's just the remaining 'spirit'." Xia Xi said.

This is a unique concept of necromancers. They believe that after death, consciousness will not dissipate quickly, and part of the spirit will be temporarily hidden in the skull.

"You can understand it as fragments of consciousness. They contain incomplete memories and don't have too complex thinking abilities. But they can communicate simply."

"Why did they give you the bones?" Zhang Lin looked at Xia Xi's leather bag curiously.

"I want to come, I keep it for other uses." Xia Xi said.

His current recovery ability is not enough to control a complete skeleton, and it is already quite difficult for two people to sit up like just now.

So Xia Xi only intends to take away one hand bone. Although one hand bone does not have too strong attack power, it is enough to win by surprise sometimes.

Moreover, the hand bones are very flexible, and can do many things for him, for example, take out the spar from the corpse of the mutated cockroach.

When Xia Xi and Zhang Lin left Uncle Yuan's residence, it was already dark outside.

"Meow—" Dahei followed out from the room.

Zhang Lin touched Dahei's head: "Come with us, Dahei."

But Dahei only followed the door and stopped. It squatted down, its tail wrapped around its front paws, and it gently arched Zhang Lin with its head, as if saying goodbye: "Meow."

"You want to guard them?" Zhang Lin asked with some reluctance.

"Meow."

"Okay, goodbye then." Zhang Lin said goodbye regretfully, and walked away step by step.

"I don't know if Dahei will starve here alone." Walking on the road, Zhang Lin was still worried about Dahei: "The first time I saw Uncle Yuan feeding it, it was only the size of a palm, with teeth I don’t have a full body, but I’m born again, but I’m not afraid of Uncle Yuan. I’m only willing to eat what Uncle Yuan feeds me.”

Xia Xi comforted her: "Don't worry, his ability is very strong, and he can directly devour the crystals of other mutant creatures. At this stage, he is more powerful than all of us combined."

In the evening, Xia Xi took a shower in cold water, and finally changed into clean clothes. She immediately felt much refreshed.

He also rinsed the two sets of hand bones and kept them in his pockets so that he could summon them at any time.

Late at night, Xia Xi kept vigil as usual, sitting alone on the sofa in the foyer, with a stump of candle, unwound the bandages on his hands.

Beginning in the afternoon, after using magic, an indescribable pain eroded Xia Xi's fingertips.

A piece of flesh from the first section of the little fingertip fell off, and the red flesh tissue and the clear white phalanx were faintly visible inside.

Xia Xi's delicate brows were deeply frowned, and she stared at her fingertips suspiciously.

This is... Backlash?

Backlash is a catastrophe that necromancers must endure, and it will gradually increase as more and more powers of the undead are used.First, the skin and flesh on the hands and feet fell off, and then spread to the limbs, and then the body, from the outside to the inside, until even the internal organs were lost, and finally the face and brain, until it became a complete skeleton.

Necromancers have a way to preserve their 'spirits', so even if they become skeletons, they will not really die, they will only become undead monsters.Then as the mana reaches the top level, the necromancer will regrow blood and flesh, and keep that look forever, just like wearing a layer of skin, he will not grow old or die, unless he dissipates the condensed mana himself body, and then send out the spirit of the body.

When he was in Wuer Continent, Xia Xi had already gone through a stage of backlash and regeneration.So Xia Xi didn't quite understand why the backlash happened again?

Xia Xi remembered that when he first came to the technological plane, he felt an obvious time turbulence. Could it be that he was also affected by that thing?The body has returned to its previous state, but I didn't realize it?

This is entirely possible, after all, Xia Xi's regenerated body is exactly the same as before the ossification.

Yes, it must be so.Xia Xi suddenly remembered a problem that he had been ignoring all this time. The regenerated body needs magic as a support. After arriving in this world, he obviously has no mana, so what keeps supporting his body?

So what he has now is indeed a real human body?

Tsk.trouble.

No wonder you feel that the magic you have mastered cannot be used, no wonder the speed of dispatching abilities is like an apprentice.

Xia Xi didn't feel happy because of getting a body, a clean body is the destination of a necromancer.He is destined to be reborn in the bones, but now he just has to go through one more training, and repeat the backlash and transformation one more time.

Fortunately, those magic spells have long been imprinted in his heart, and he can recover his power back to the original level as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Xia Xi closed his eyes and began to meditate, trying to collect the free supernatural energy in the air.But Xia Xi quickly gave up.There are still too few abilities in the air, and this absorption method is far less efficient than absorbing crystals.

Xia Xi didn't go to get the spar from Cao Jin either. He really had difficulty accepting the cockroach spar, not to mention that the supernatural energy of those spar fragments was much worse than the real spar.Xia Xi focused on a bunch of mutated plants that came to her door.

It was a rattan plant, and all the means of attack were nothing but the movable thorny rattan on his body.At this time, it was quietly squeezing a slender rattan through the narrow gap in the middle of the window, deftly hooked the lock on the kitchen window, opened a gap in the window, and then snaked towards Xia Xi's direction come.

It was not approaching fast, so Xia Xi pretended not to see it.While following the gap, controlling the hand bones of both hands, he drilled out along the opened window.

Under the moonlight, two skeleton hands slowly climbed down the window sill and "walked" into the grass next to them. They lightly jumped over a few entangled vines, completely without arousing any vigilance from the mutated plants.Then suddenly, the sharp finger bones pierced into the root system of the plant like a blade, and mercilessly dug out the light green spar inside.

The vines that had almost reached Xia Xi's feet suddenly lost their vitality, and quickly withered into a lifeless mass.

Xia Xi controlled the fingerbone to pick it up, threw it out, closed the window, washed the spar, and sent it to her.

"Good job." Xia Xi took the spar, injected a small amount of energy into the bone of his hand, and then sat cross-legged while holding the spar, meditating.

"Because there are too many mutated creatures, there is a serious shortage of police force. Many rescue teams have been wiped out."

In the morning, as soon as the news was turned on, everyone heard such a news.

The female voice on the radio spoke a little faster than usual, and her tone was not as calm as usual: "At present, due to the heavy casualties of the rescue team, the rescue work has stalled. The relevant departments call on residents to prepare enough clothes at home. And drinking water, make long-term preparations. Close doors and windows, as well as various spaces in the home, and maintain a high level of vigilance for all animals, plants, and insects that appear.”

Everyone who was eating breakfast stopped at the same time and looked up at the mobile phone that was broadcasting.

Yu Qianqian whispered to Zhang Yunhan: "The situation is so serious? Even the rescue team has been wiped out? Then what should we do?"

Zhang Yunhan made a silence gesture to her: "Listen first."

"In addition, some mutations have also appeared in humans. Some people accidentally obtained the ability to mutate after coming into contact with mutated creatures and the crystals in their bodies. The abilities that have been discovered so far mainly include flame control, freezing control, and lightning control. , air flow control, and physical enhancement... who are you?"

Suddenly there was a chaotic noise on the radio, it seemed that someone rushed into the radio room and had a conflict with the people inside, the sound of smashing things, the sound of footsteps, screaming, and making a mess.

After a while, the noise subsided, and a man's voice suddenly appeared on the radio, with arrogance, he said carelessly: "Good morning, everyone."
