Chapter 811: The Loot
Asad was ready to loot it and get five times the normal loot. Nonetheless, the commander zombie was still alive and tried to grab him!
Indeed, the Zombie seemed to be aware that he was the mastermind of the Undead Creatures and wanted to tear him apart.
However, Asad only smirked.
“Too slow.”
Beneath him, the Skeleton Scorpion came out from the earth. This creature had a bony carapace, and it carried Asad onto its back.
Indeed, it was Asad’s mode of transportation… However, it was still capable of attacking Zombies.
Thud!
Suddenly, its stinger lashed forward, piercing into the zombie commander’s shoulder and pumping venomous energy into its body.
Although the zombie was definitely resistant to it, the venom would still hinder its movement.
As expected, the venom started stiffening its muscles. It screeched in agony and started thrashing…
The engine sounds became louder as if it were overclocking. There was black smoke that exploded outward.
Boom!
The force from the zombie knocked the Scorpion back several meters and cracked its bony limbs. But the venom had already begun to rot the zombie’s hybrid flesh, spreading purple-black corruption along its veins.
“Now!” Asad commanded.
The Skeleton King leapt… With its halberd, it struck downward to sever the Zombie’s head!
Even the Death Knights followed as their greatswords pierced into the exposed gaps.
Thud! The Halberd didn’t cut its head, but it was halfway there!
The Wraith Queen’s form then coiled around the Zombie, draining its vitality with her mysterious ghostly touch.
Above, the Lich finished chanting, unleashing a massive dark matter like a comet of bone fire!
KABOOOOOM!
It crashed down on the beast!
The impact shook the earth, collapsing part of the wall. With the combination attack of his Undead Summons, Asad believed that the enemy was already dead by now.
Just like that, smoke, dust, and ash engulfed the battlefield.
When the fog cleared, the Fleshy Mech Zombie commander staggered…
At this time, its engines were still making a sound. However, after taking a look, one was actually completely torn off, while the other was already flaming wildly.
Half its body was burned and shredded, but it still refused to fall.
“Persistent thing…” Asad whispered as he raised his hand.
Suddenly, dark energy swirled violently around him as he invoked one of his strongest Necromancer Skills.
Death’s Embrace…
Suddenly, dozens of spectral chains burst from the ground, wrapping the creature from every direction…
The Skill cost him 750 points to cast, but since this was the last Zombie, he didn’t mind it anymore.
As soon as the Zombie was constrained, the Skeleton Scorpion lunged again, its stinger piercing directly into the beast’s throat.
The Fleshy Mech Leader gave one last roar before its engine exploded…
The shockwave rattled the battlefield, but the chains held it in place long enough for the Skeleton King’s halberd to plunge straight into its skull.
CRAAACK—
Finally, the crimson light in its eyes dimmed, then died.

“Nice rewards…” Asad muttered. He didn’t even loot the Zombie yet, but he already got some decent rewards.
The massive corpse had already crashed to the ground, and the black fog had slowly disappeared.
Asad exhaled and lowered his staff. With this, his summons also slowly faded back into the void.
However, the Skeleton Scorpion remained, carrying him forward as he surveyed the broken remains.
“It is done…” He muttered as he looked at the unusual Fleshy Mech Zombies… “It feels as if someone… is engineering these.”
Soon, Asad raised the Lootkeeper’s Timepiece…
[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ]
“Yes.”
Suddenly, the corpse of the Fleshy Mech Zombie General began to pulse unnaturally and soon, it slowly vanished.

“It’s really times five… This is just too good. No wonder Shane had a lot of treasures.” Asad muttered to himself, as he knew how important this item was.
Even if it could only be used once a day, if he used it correctly, it could be the best source of wealth!
For a moment, Asad focused on his loot.
He turned his gaze to the Corrupted Engine Fragments and the Spirit Reactor Core…
Those were not ordinary zombie loot. First of all, no mindless beast could grow such things. These engines or spirit reaction core were definitely implanted by someone.
‘Is it the cult Shane was talking about?’ Asad mused as he recalled a few things about that mysterious group, causing Shane some trouble.

In the meantime, Diana wasted no time. As the black smoke cleared, she immediately signaled the medics.
“Gather the wounded. Send them straight to the infirmary!” she ordered.
Several Warden Units rushed to carry survivors with burns, wounds, and fractured bones. Even those with minor injuries were escorted to the medical tents where the nurses and healers waited…
Diana moved among them, ensuring no one was left unattended. She didn’t even bother looting the Zombies around.
Just her calm but commanding presence reassured everyone.
Meanwhile, dozens of workers and engineers who had taken cover during the chaos picked up their tools again.
The battle had damaged many of their defensive lines, collapsed barricades, broken spike pits, and other broken traps…
“Move the spare ironwood planks! Rebuild the barricade here!” one of the foremen shouted.
“Reset the pressure mines… Double the layer on the west side!” another one commanded.
Just like that, everyone was swiftly trying to rebuild the Silver Mine Camp’s defensive line.
