[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained coal*16, your basic mining experience points 21.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained coal*22…]

[Hint: Your mining skill level has been upgraded to Level 2.]

Half an hour later, seeing that the zombies had found coal, Fang Heng patted the dust off his pants and stood up from the ground.

It was time to go back and see what the accommodation for tonight was going to be like.

The night was approaching.

Zhou Yi and Lu Yu divided the work and cleaned up some of the zombies around the hut. Then, they reinforced the wooden doors and windows of the hut to ensure its safety at night.

Everyone lit a bonfire in the hut.

"You two have worked hard these past few days!"

Fang Heng casually took out a handful of cold beer from his backpack and placed it beside the bonfire. Then, he threw two cans of beer to the two of them.

"Sorry for displaying my immature skill but tonight, I'll be cooking for all. Come and have a taste of my cooking."

It was a big skewer of meat!

This was Fang Heng's ultimate skill.

In the game, with the addition of the recipe skill, the taste of the big skewer of meat was so good that it was out of the world!

One could never get tired of it!

For this reason, Fang Heng even carried a barbecue grill with him. He could eat whenever he wanted to.

He took out the meat pieces and made them into skewers. He placed them on the grill and kept turning them, just like a chef.

The oil from the fatty acids of the meat sizzled under the heat.

The aroma of the skewers drifted directly into Lu Yu and Zhou Yi's nostrils.

They couldn't help but drool!

In the zombie apocalypse game, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi were considered professional players.

They had been studying the game's strategy, so they knew a lot about the game.

However, despite their rich experience, all they had been eating these days were baked potatoes, wild vegetables, roasted berries and roasted bird eggs…

They had to live a miserable life, barely having enough to eat.

After all, they had been desperately completing the apocalypse merchant's mission during the day and earning survival points to exchange for earth-made bombs. They didn't have the extra time to go and find food.

They had never thought that there would be someone in the game who could actually be eating big skewers of meat and drinking wine so happily!

When they saw Fang Heng sprinkled cumin on the skewered meat and carefully coated it with a layer of secret sauce, both of their eyes were wide open.

What the heck!

They were wondering if he was here to survive the game or to participate in a gourmet competition?

This kind of behaviour was too much!

Fang Heng raised the beer can.

"It's been hard on the two of you. Cheers! Let's continue to collaborate in the future!"

"Happy cooperation! If you need our help in the future, feel free to look for us. We are very reliable!"

Zhou Yi held up the big meat skewer and took a bite.

It was delicious!

The gravy was packed with freshness, and the fats from the meat were bursting in his mouth!

The seasoning blended perfectly!

The slightly bursting taste enhanced the aroma of the meat and flowed down from the nose to the throat.

Delicacies could heal the soul and chase away fatigue.

Zhou Yi ate skewers of meat and drank beer.

His mood for the past few days had been on the low side as he was constantly affected by Fang Heng's actions. But he seemed to have finally recovered a little bit and currently, he could enjoy the hard-won happiness during the apocalypse.

He had his fill.

Lu Yu and Zhou Yi strongly requested to be responsible for tonight's vigil as an affirmation of the meal.

Fang Heng did not object.

The few of them began to chat casually again.

"Oh right, God, although we have defeated Prisoner Snake and the others today, we still have to be careful."

"Oh?" Fang Heng was surprised. He put down the beer in his hand. "They still dare to come?"

"God, don't forget that in a few days, the game will open up a channel transmission service."

Zhou Yi explained to Fang Heng with a straight face.

"When the time comes, all players below level 5 in the King of Gods' game can spend their points to enter our game world."

"Prisoner Snake is famous for his bad character, but many people don't want to provoke him."

"He used to join a gaming guild called 'Dawn'. This time, they failed to attack the prison. They probably guessed that it was you who established the super-large shelter."

"If he reports to the guild about what happened in the prison, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble."

"Dawn…"

Fang Heng muttered softly and nodded.

This body had the memories of the guild.

Dawn had a very bad reputation in the game. Most of the players in the guild were a bunch of villains.

It was indeed true.

After the prison and the mercenaries were exposed, Fang Heng felt that he had to face those greedy villains.

And as time passed, the restrictions of the game would gradually be opened up.

Two days later, the ban on players below Level 5 would be lifted.

After a month, players below Level 10 would also be able to use their King of Gods' points to enter the game.

Fang Heng had a premonition that trouble was gradually approaching.

But he was not afraid of trouble.

In the beginning, he hid his identity carefully and developed silently. He had made this decision so that he can buy more time for the prison to develop and avoid unwanted attention.

But it would also greatly sacrifice his development speed.

Fang Heng felt that if the enemy was coming, then let them come!

What he wanted to do was to always be one step ahead of the players and act on his initiative!

He would use his strength to crush them and he was not afraid of it!

If they came, he would kill them, one after another!

Although Fang Heng was afraid of death, he still preferred to face them head-on!

The next day.

The sun rose, dispelling the darkness.

Zhou Yi, who was on the vigil, stretched himself.

He was lucky.

It was very quiet last night. No zombies came to disturb him.

Furthermore, he had eaten and drunk enough last night. His mood was much better than the last few days.

He stood up and prepared to go outside to breathe some fresh air.

"Come on, Zhou Yi! Don't be decadent! Face life positively!"

Zhou Yi patted his cheeks to encourage himself.

He also realized that he had been suffering from 'blows' by Fang Heng during this period and his morale was somewhat low.

"Clack…"

Pushing open the wooden door of the hut, Zhou Yi was greatly surprised.

What was this?

Outside the hut, the stones that were gathered earlier on had piled up into more than ten two-meter-high 'small hills'.

These small hills were also mixed with small black stones.

Black stones…

Hmm?

Was it coal ore?

Zhou Yi was puzzled.

What was going on?

He wondered if he was hallucinating because he had only slept for four hours last night.

Zhou Yi slowly walked to the front of a small hill and picked up a small piece of black coal.

The coal immediately disappeared from his hand.

[Hint: You have obtained coal*1.]

It was real!

It wasn't an illusion, it was just coal!

Bloody hell!

Where did all these coal mines come from?

Out of thin air?

Were ghosts behind this? Was there a bug in the system?

Zhou Yi was puzzled and he looked around.

He saw a zombie staggering over from afar.

Zhou Yi reflexively raised his weapon.

This zombie was wearing the lumberjack uniform.

It was probably summoned by God.

Zhou Yi put down his weapon and slowly took a few steps back, still maintaining his vigilance.

The lumberjack zombie ignored Zhou Yi and had no desire to attack.

It walked past Zhou Yi and came before the newest small hill.

Then, Zhou Yi saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The lumberjack zombie took out pieces of rocks from its backpack and threw them at the small hill, adding bricks and tiles to the small hill that was erected high up.

After doing all this, it turned around and went back the way it came from.

Behind it, two more zombies walked back one after another, repeating the same action.

"This…"

"No way…"

"Could it be that these zombies can mine?"

Zhou Yi felt like he was going crazy.

"Impossible! How can zombies help players mine?"

"This is illogical!"

He immediately followed the zombies, wanting to see what had happened with his own eyes.

Five minutes later, Zhou Yi arrived at the mountain wall.

After one night, a ten-meter-deep hole had been dug in the mountain wall

The group of zombies he saw yesterday were waving their stone pickaxes and pounding the mountain wall with all their might.

Zhou Yi silently sat down.

He didn't know what was going on…

His mood suddenly became bad again.

Chapter 42: Delivery

[Hint: While you were offline, your zombie clone obtained small rocks*27,812, large rocks*9739 and coal*6284. You obtained 92,821 mining experience points.]

[Hint: Your mining skill has been upgraded to Level 9.]

[Hint: Your mining skill has reached the maximum value that can be upgraded. Please upgrade your character level as soon as possible. Unlocking your mining skill can upgrade your character level to the maximum value.]

Fang Heng pushed open the wooden door and saw the small hills that were piled up outside the hut.

"Not bad…"

However, he still had to distinguish between ordinary rocks and coal.

A zombie clone couldn't do such a difficult job.

It seemed that he could only trouble Zhou Yi and Lu Yu.

Speaking of which, where were they? Why didn't he see them? Could it be that they had gone offline to rest?

Fang Heng looked around.

Two days later, players below Level 5 could use their King of Gods' points to enter the game.

At that time, there would be a guild that wanted to join this newly opened 'server' to get a share of the profits.

His prison shelter was also bound to face an even greater threat.

It would be better for him to complete the Dark Knights mission as soon as possible.

Only great strength could guarantee the safety of the shelter.

According to his plan, he had to take all the coal mines to the apocalypse merchant to exchange for points.

He had to gather all the supplies as soon as possible and head off to the city tomorrow to complete the mission!

After making up his mind, Fang Heng sent a message to Zhou Yi and started to differentiate the coal mines.

After more than an hour, Fang Heng returned to the apocalypse merchant's camp on a modified motorcycle filled with coal ores.

The NPC porters in the camp already knew Fang Heng.

When they saw him enter the camp, they all came over to help unload the goods.

Vettel's friendliness had reached a certain level. He walked out of the hut to welcome him and even threw a can of beer to Fang Heng.

"That's great, you've brought us some more supplies! It's my luck to have a reliable friend like you in the apocalypse! Come, let's talk inside."

"Thank you."

Fang Heng took the beer and followed Vettel into the hut.

He opened the mission panel.

Mission: Collect coal ores (repeatable).

Mission description: The apocalypse merchant's camp needs a large number of coal ores. Please collect some coal ores and bring them into the camp.

Mission reward: 600 survival points.

[Hint: You have submitted 300 coal ores to the apocalypse merchant Vettel. You have received 600 survival points.]

[Hint: You have completed the mission.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the apocalypse merchant Vettel has improved.]

[Hint: You have submitted 300 coal ores to the apocalypse merchant Vettel. You have received 600 survival points.]

[Hint: You have completed the mission.]

Fang Heng made a rough estimate.

One-time delivery of the coal via the modified motorcycle could be exchanged for 2,400 survival points.

As the roads in the forest were difficult to navigate, it would take him nearly two hours to travel back and forth between the collection point and the apocalypse merchant camp.

He could only make seven trips during the day, which would take 14 hours.

He couldn't even earn 20,000 survival points in one day.

"This is not very efficient."

Fang Heng muttered and asked Vettel.

"Vettel, I have a large number of ores that I want to exchange for survival points. Unfortunately, it's a little troublesome to deliver them over. Do you have any ideas?"

"Oh? You have a lot of ore resources?"

Vettel's eyes lit up when he heard that.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"We do have a light-weight truck in our camp. Unfortunately, the truck can not be lent to outsiders. I can't make the decision on this matter."

"No other solutions?"

Fang Heng was a little disappointed.

This would delay him for another day.

"Well…"

"I happen to have a mission here. I think you might be interested. Why don't you listen to it first?"

"I have a batch of goods to deliver to a friend who lives next to an abandoned factory. He is a scientist with a very strange temper. Ever since the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, he has been staying in that d*mn place and refused to leave."

"To put it simply, the time limit for this mission is 24 hours. You can drive the truck from our camp to deliver the goods. If you complete the mission ahead of time…"

Vettel winked at Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng, I think you understand what I mean, right?"

Fang Heng immediately understood what he meant.

As expected of Vettel!

"The effort that I've put in building a good relationship with you is greatly rewarded!" Fang Heng thought to himself.

"Vettel, thank you so much. You've helped me a lot."

"Hahaha, I didn't help you much."

Vettel made a 'you know' expression.

"Remember, you have to bring this truck back safely. If anything happened to it, the compensation will be quite expensive."

"No problem."

[Hint: You have triggered the commission of the apocalypse merchant Vettel.]

Fang Heng opened the mission panel.

Mission name: Stubborn survivor

Mission difficulty: C

Mission description: Mr Qiu is a scholar. He has an odd temperament. Even after the apocalypse, he chose to live alone in the villa not far from the abandoned chemical factory.

Mission requirements: Vettel needs you to deliver some materials to Mr Qiu. Please ensure that the materials are complete and delivered within the stipulated time.

Mission time limit: 24 hours.

Mission reward: 60 survival points.

Additional description: If the truck is damaged during the mission, your deposit will be deducted and you will have to pay extra survival points as compensation.

"Vettel, I accept this mission."

Fang Heng accepted the mission.

He could easily complete an SSS-level mission, not to mention this C-level mission.

It was just a delivery.

Fang Heng did not take it seriously.

[Hint: You accepted the mission – Stubborn survivor.]

[Hint: You pay the deposit of 2,000 survival points as the deposit for the truck.]

"Alright, I'll get my men to load the goods now. You can set off in ten minutes."

"No problem."

Fang Heng agreed. He took some time to glance at the location of the mission target marked on the mission panel.

It was very far.

He roughly estimated that it would take two and a half hours to get there from the apocalypse merchant camp.

The round trip would take about five hours.

After walking out of Vettel's hut, Fang Heng immediately saw a blue light truck parked outside the camp.

Light-weight truck.

Length: 3.5 meters.

Loading capacity: 2.8 tons.

D*mn!

With such a large capacity truck, he could transport all the coal mines dug last night with just one trip!

Fang Heng was a little envious.

When there was an opportunity in the future, he had to think of a way to obtain a truck back to the prison. When that time came, it would be convenient to transport the minerals.

Fang Heng thought to himself.

The NPC porters in the camp were fervently moving the wooden boxes onto the truck.

The boxes were even labeled 'fragile items, please be careful'.

"The fuel tank of the truck has been pumped to the brim. In addition to food and daily necessities, there are also some special research materials in the boxes."

"I've told you before. Mr Qiu is a scientist. He has been conducting research related to zombies. These things are all requested by him."

"You should be more careful when driving. It's going to be a problem if those boxes are overturned."

"No problem. I drive very steadily."

Fang Heng sat in the driver's seat.

[Hint: Detected that the player has normal driving skills. Do you want to use 100 survival points to exchange for skill-driving?]

Fang Heng reached out his hand and tapped on the confirmation button.

[Hint: You have acquired basic skill-driving.]

Skill: Driving (Level 1).

Skill description: You can drive most of the car-type tools and reduce the fuel consumption by 1%.

It was better than nothing.

"Vettel, see you tomorrow."

Fang Heng waved at Vettel as a form of gesture before driving the truck out of the apocalypse merchant camp..

Chapter 43: You're Not Right

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

According to the markings on the map, after leaving the apocalypse merchant camp, Fang Heng needed to cross a part of the forest area before he could reach the highway.

The beginning of the route was the most bumpy.

Because there was no road, the truck was unusually bumpy.

Fang Heng was worried about the fragile items in the trunk so he could only slow down.

"If this goes on, I'll definitely get hemorrhoids…"

Fang Heng's bottom hurt from the jolt, and he grumbled softly.

After the mercenary recruitment was completed, he might as well spend some time building a road to avoid future suffering.

After nearly an hour and a half, Fang Heng turned the steering wheel and steered the truck into a repaired road.

Only then did the truck start to accelerate slowly.

The difficulty of the mission was only C, so there was no danger along the way.

Occasionally, when he encountered zombies blocking the road, Fang Heng would mostly steer the truck around them.

If he really couldn't go around them, Fang Heng would seek stability.

He slowly stopped the truck, got out of the truck and got rid of the zombies before continuing forward.

It took Fang Heng three and a half hours to arrive at an independent villa less than 500 meters away from the abandoned factory.

This was the delivery location indicated by the mission.

The independent villa had a total of three floors, surrounded by three wooden spikes of various sizes.

Fang Heng saw dark red blood stains on the spikes.

These basic defense structures were very effective against elementary zombies.

"Mr Qiu! Are you there? Vetel asked me to deliver the materials to you!"

Fang Heng stood outside and shouted in the direction of the villa.

There was no reaction inside.

Strange? Why was there no one?

Fang Heng tried shouting again.

"Mr Qiu! Your express delivery! If you don't accept it, I'll put it in the express delivery cabinet!"

There was still no reaction.

Fang Heng frowned. He thought he should get closer and use a small stone hammer to open the window to see the situation inside the villa.

Just as he raised his left foot, Fang Heng pulled it back.

It was strange. He had a premonition.

This villa was dangerous.

"Eh? Is my passive skill, danger perception, working?"

Fang Heng was puzzled. Suddenly, he was keenly aware of a slight noise coming from the bushes nearby.

He turned his head abruptly.

A head popped out from the bushes.

"Keep your voice down. Are you trying to attract all the zombies nearby?"

Qiu Yaokang waved at Fang Heng.

"Follow me first."

Fang Heng glanced at Qiu Yaokang, then nodded and followed him into the bushes.

Behind the bushes, there was a hole in the barbed wire fence.

Fang Heng followed behind Qiu Yaokang and went into the backyard of the villa through the hole.

In the backyard, Qiu Yaokang laboriously lifted up the underground passage hidden under the turf and fixed the steel plate of the passage.

What a guy!

Only then did Fang Heng realize that the entrance to the building was in the backyard. One had to go through a downward tunnel to enter.

Qiu Yaokang might look thin and weak, and also malnourished.

But, he had a knack for digging tunnels.

Qiu Yaokang looked to be in his early thirties. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a white research suit and a pair of medical gloves.

"Wait a minute."

Qiu Yaokang entered the tunnel as he spoke. Soon, he pushed a small cart out.

"Vettel told me about you. Help me bring in all the materials. Thank you."

"We're going through the bushes? Aren't we going through the main door?"

"The main door? It's too small."

Qiu Yaokang shook his head.

"I've set up traps inside the main door. It's the entrance reserved for the intruders."

"Hiss…"

Fang Heng sucked in a breath of cold air.

No wonder he felt danger just now.

The boxes that Vettel had packed in advance were huge and heavy. Fang Heng could barely carry them by himself, so he worked together with Qiu Yaokang to carry them.

After going back and forth a few times and dividing them into several batches, the two of them finally moved all the materials in the truck into the passage in the basement of the backyard.

The underground passage was quite big.

Fang Heng looked at the layout of the basement.

He could see several independent rooms at a glance.

The passage was also cleaned up.

It could be seen that this place was often cleaned.

Qiu Yaokang took out a tissue and carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"I'll trouble you to help me move the box into the laboratory. Thank you."

"Laboratory? Where?"

As Fang Heng spoke, he bent down to carry the box.

"Wait a moment!"

Qiu Yaokang raised his hand to block Fang Heng.

"Huh?"

"Go to the changing room over there first. There are new protective clothing and hats in there. Change into them. Remember to wash your hands and put on gloves."

"Eh…"

Fang Heng sized up Qiu Yaokang.

"Is it necessary?"

"Hurry up. Don't waste time."

"Okay."

Fang Heng didn't want to waste time.

He walked into the changing room, put on a protective suit, hat and gloves, then followed Qiu Yaokang into the laboratory.

The laboratory was bigger than Fang Heng had expected.

He even saw a few zombie corpses lying on the autopsy table in the corner of the laboratory.

"Help me out here. Put the three white compartmentalized boxes in the pathway against the wall. Thank you."

Fang Heng nodded. He lifted the boxes in the pathway with great effort, carried them into the laboratory and placed them on the floor.

Qiu Yaokang had been exhausted while carrying the boxes earlier on.

Even now, his arms were still trembling.

As he leaned against the wall of the laboratory, he looked at Fang Heng.

"Your strength and stamina are pretty good."

Fang Heng turned his head to look at him.

"It should be a little better than a science nerd like you!" Fang Heng thought.

Qiu Yaokang frowned.

"Don't look at me like that. I do an hour of scientific exercise every day. Recently, because I stayed up late, my physical condition is only slightly worse than that of an ordinary person."

"Okay, you're really amazing!" Fang Heng teased.

Fang Heng put down the second box heavily.

It was a little tiring to carry the box alone. He was too lazy to talk to him. He just wanted to complete the task quickly and return to deliver the goods as soon as possible.

Qiu Yaokang adjusted his spectacles and examined Fang Heng.

"Please help me push the box to the corner. Thank you."

"Got it."

Fang Heng replied and turned his back to push the box.

Qiu Yaokang gently took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and threw it at Fang Heng's back.

It was as if Fang Heng had eyes on his back. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the pack of tissues that flew towards him from behind.

"F*ck! What are you doing?"

Fang Heng was a little angry.

It was one thing for him not to help, but what was the meaning of throwing a tissue pack at someone?

Qiu Yaokang did not answer. He just stared at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was a little intimidated by the stare.

"Why are you looking at me!"

Qiu Yaokang continued to stare intensely at Fang Heng.

"You're not right."

Fang Heng: "You're the one who's not right!"

Qiu Yaokang retracted his aggressive gaze.

"Your physical fitness is better than that of an ordinary person. Your perceptive ability is at least twice that of an ordinary person."

Fang Heng curled his lips when he heard that.

"You've discovered me! Little genius!" Fang Heng thought.

As a matter of fact, Fang Heng had learned all three basic attribute skills of physique, agility and strength! He had even acquired a B-level perceptive skill!

Qiu Yaokang turned around and walked out of the laboratory door.

"Follow me."

"What now? You're not moving the boxes anymore?"

"I don't need you to move them anymore. Help me with something else. Thank you."

"Can I choose not to help?"

"Don't waste everyone's time."

"You're really amazing!" Fang Heng thought to himself.

He was almost angered to the point of laughter.

Report chapter

Chapter 44: Enhanced Gene Potion

Fang Heng followed Qiu Yaokang into another room at the end of the basement.

In the middle of the room was a metal door frame that looked like an airport security check.

On the door frame were more than a dozen wires of various sizes and colours.

The other end of the wire was connected to a large machine at the side.

Qiu Yaokang did a demonstration in front of Fang Heng and walked through the door frame.

"It's your turn."

Fang Heng felt that Vettel was right. This friend of his must have a little problem with his brain.

Qiu Yaokang urged.

"Hurry up."

Fang Heng shrugged. He modelled after Qiu Yaokang and walked through the door frame.

"Beep Beep Beep Beep…"

Just as he passed through the metal door frame, the alarm sounded.

Fang Heng turned around and looked at Qiu Yaokang blankly.

"I told you, something is wrong with you."

Qiu Yaokang had expected this.

He walked to the large machine beside him and checked the data report on the screen.

"Recently, I've heard people say that after a zombie dies, there is a very small probability that it will leave a crystal with special energy in its body. Some people with special physiques can absorb this crystal."

"I call this crystal the mutation crystal."

"I'm not sure if it's a form of mutation."

"The effect of the mutation crystal on the human body remains to be seen. From the information I've gathered so far, the mutation crystal has a positive effect on the human body."

Fang Heng muttered in his heart.

"The people with special physiques that you mentioned should all be 'players', right?"

"You must have absorbed the mutation crystals to cause the mutation of your body."

Qiu Yaokang raised his head and looked at Fang Heng.

"The degree of the mutation of your body is quite high. Your various physiques are also higher than ordinary people, especially your perceptive ability."

"Yes, because my level is high."

Fang Heng continued to mumble in his heart.

"You must have absorbed a large number of mutation crystals."

Qiu Yaokang stared at Fang Heng.

"Am I right? Answer me."

"You guessed right."

Fang Heng only wanted to end this mission as soon as possible. As he spoke, he took out an evolution crystal fragment from his backpack and threw it at Qiu Yaokang.

"By the way, we call this thing evolution crystal fragment."

"Oh?"

Qiu Yaokang's eyes lit up.

He was very interested in crystals. He took the crystal fragment and observed it.

"I've done a lot of research and killed a lot of zombies. This is the first time I've seen this crystal structure with my own eyes."

"Of course, NPCs wouldn't drop crystals when they killed zombies."

Fang Heng answered in his heart.

"I think you're not very lucky."

Qiu Yaokang kept the crystal. He turned around, took out a small bottle of green potion from somewhere and threw it at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng took the bottle that flew over.

Looking at the description, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

[Hint: You have obtained an item-modified zombie strength-enhanced gene potion.]

Item: Modified zombie strength-enhanced gene potion.

Creator: Qiu Yaokang.

Description 1: A potion made from the zombie virus. After use, it can permanently increase strength attribute by 1 point (this potion can be used repeatedly and can increase strength attribute by up to 5 points).

Description 2: Using this potion will cause the player's gene state to become unstable. The player will gain a negative state: "Gene Chaos". After each use, the player's gene state will increase by 10%-30% and when it reaches 80%, the player will be directly infected by the zombie virus, resulting in death.

Description 3: The player can eliminate this status by consuming the evolution crystal.

"I want this crystal. I never take other people's things for free. This can be considered a reward."

Amazing!

Fang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this.

Players could also make similar drugs, but at least in the middle and later stages of the game. Moreover, the materials needed to make these drugs were many and complicated, and the success rate was not high.

In the past servers, these potions and the raw materials for these potions were firmly controlled by the big game guilds and gaming companies.

Fang Heng directly raised his head and gulped down the potion.

[Hint: You have taken the modified zombie strength-enhancing gene potion. Your basic strength point 1.]

[Hint: If you take this potion multiple times, the effect will gradually decrease.]

[Hint: You have obtained the "Gene Chaos" state.]

[Hint: Your "Gene Chaos" state has been increased to 13%.]

[Hint: You can use 13 evolution crystal fragments or one complete evolution crystal to eliminate this state.]

"Help me pass on a message to Vettel. I need him to help me collect more of these crystals. I will need them for my next research."

Qiu Yaokang rubbed his chin and said, "As for the reward…"

After finishing the bottle of potion, Fang Heng still wanted more.

He interrupted, "Do you still have those modified potions?"

"Huh?"

Qiu Yaokang raised his head and looked at Fang Heng.

"There are still some flaws in this potion. If you use it many times, you'll be at risk of being infected by the zombie virus. You can check your arm."

"Arm?"

Hearing that, Fang Heng pulled up his protective suit and checked his arm.

He found that a greenish-grey colour unique to zombies had appeared on his arm from his wrist.

The greenish-grey colour gradually rose and spread to his arm. It looked a little scary.

Fang Heng was not worried at all. He had a lot of evolution crystal fragments with him. He could easily use them to eliminate the status.

"I understand. I understand the negative effect of the potion. I can exchange the evolution crystal fragments with you. Do you think these are enough?"

Fang Heng took out a bunch of evolution crystal fragments from his backpack. He placed them on his palm and handed them to Qiu Yaokang.

Qiu Yaokang's calm face finally showed a moment of surprise.

He looked at Fang Heng and wondered how he could get so many crystals.

"If it's not enough, I still have more."

"The first step requires at least 100 crystal fragments. If you…"

"Alright, I'll give you 200."

Fang Heng still had nearly 400 mutated crystal fragments left in his backpack.

He had been vexed on how he could get rid of them.

Now, he could use these fragments to exchange for potions that could directly increase his attributes. It was too profitable!

"Alright, I've already told you about the side effects of using potions. You come with me."

Qiu Yaokang and Fang Heng returned to the previous laboratory together.

He opened the password-protected freezer in the corner and took out the box containing twenty bottles of the potion.

"This type of potion is my latest research result. Because of the raw materials used in creating this potion, it can not be mass-produced. As the number of uses increases, the effect of the potion will gradually weaken until it is completely ineffective."

"Currently, there are three types of potions: strength, agility and physique. There are also side effects. For an ordinary person, the limit is three doses of the potion. If he continues to take more doses, there will be a great risk of being infected by the zombie virus."

"Risk of being infected by the virus? I'm not afraid! I have a lot of evolution crystal fragments at hand!"

Fang Heng thought to himself as he looked at the box of potions, his eyes glowing with delight..

"Can I take all of these?"

Qiu Yaokang frowned.

"No, you can only use it here."

"That's great! If it's not enough, can I still ask you for more?"

Fang Heng was delighted and continued to inquire, "In exchange, I can help you get more evolution crystal fragments in the future. For research, it would be good to have more of such things, right?"

Qiu Yaokang's frown deepened. He felt that Fang Heng was not following the usual pattern.

"Sure, but the preparation of the potion will take some time, about two to three days."

"Deal!"

Fang Heng was very satisfied with the deal. He immediately took out 200 evolution crystal fragments from his backpack and piled them on an empty experiment table.

Qiu Yaokang was surprised again.

How many zombies did he kill to get so many evolution crystal fragments?

"You can count them. There are 200 fragments in total."

Fang Heng said and took the box from Qiu Yaokang.

The evolution crystal fragments were time-sensitive. They could be sold for some money at this stage, but they would become very cheap when the players reached higher levels.

Fang Heng knew very well that he had received the first wave of benefits from the game!

Currently, the players in the game had yet to reach a higher level. They were still unable to trigger Qiu Yaokang's mission, nor did they have the ability to farm zombies in large numbers to earn evolution crystal fragments.

However, he had already reached Level 9. There was no need for evolution crystal fragments at all.

[Hint: You have given Qiu Yaokang 200 crystal fragments. You have received a modified zombie strength enhanced gene potion*6, a modified zombie physique enhanced gene potion*7 and a modified zombie agility enhanced gene potion*7.]

[Hint: Your friendship with Qiu Yaokang has improved slightly.]

After completing such a huge transaction, the friendship between them had only improved slightly.

What an aloof guy.

Fang Heng was in a good mood. He didn't care about Qiu Yaokang's indifference.

He took out a bottle of strength enhanced gene potion from the box and opened the cap.

Qiu Yaokang finished counting the number of evolution crystal fragments he had obtained from the transaction with Fang Heng. When he turned around and saw Fang Heng starting to take the potion again, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Let me remind you again. There is a flaw in this potion. It can not be used in large quantities."

"I know. I have a way to solve this flaw."

Fang Heng chuckled. With a flip of his wrist, he took out more than ten evolution crystal fragments and held them in his hand.

"Bang!"

With a slight force from his hand, the crystal fragments exploded at the same time and dispersed into a ball of red mist.

The mist was instantly absorbed by Fang Heng.

[Hint: You have consumed 13 evolution crystal fragments. Your negative state, "Gene Chaos", has been eliminated.]

Fang Heng waved his arm at Qiu Yaokang.

"Hehe, how is it?"

Qiu Yaokang narrowed his eyes as he was taken aback by this.

He saw the greenish-grey colour on the back of Fang Heng's hand quickly disappear.

The evolution crystal had this ability?

Qiu Yaokang found a new research agenda. His expression quickly returned to indifference. He nodded and said, "Not bad."

Fang Heng continuously crushed the crystal fragments with one hand and opened the bottle he had exchanged for with the other hand. He drank tons of it.

[Hint: You have consumed the modified zombie strength enhanced gene potion*6, the modified zombie physique enhanced gene potion*7, the modified zombie agility enhanced gene potion*7.]

[Hint: Your basic strength attribute 3, your basic physique attribute 4 and your basic agility attribute 3.]

[Hint: Your 'gene instability' status has been increased to 55%.]

After consuming 20 bottles of the potion, the evolution crystal fragments in Fang Heng's backpack had been completely consumed.

Fang Heng opened his character's attributes to check.

Player: Fang Heng

Level: 9

HP: 158/158

Vitality: 100/100

Spirit: 100/100

Energy: 83/100

Strength: 10.8

Agility: 9.8

Physique: 10.8

Will: 5

Perception: 15

Intelligence: 5

Fang Heng tried to wave his arms, his fists clenching so tightly that they creaked.

In an instant, his basic attributes increased by 4 points. He could feel the increase in his strength.

Fang Heng even felt he could kill a cow with a single punch!

This effect was much more obvious than when he had just learned the strength training skill.

After all, the skill book at Level 1 only increased attributes by 0.2 points.

Fang Heng checked again. Each potion was still 1 to 2 points away from the maximum of 5 points.

"I still need 20 more potions."

"Come back in three days according to the agreement, by then I will need more evolution crystal fragments."

Qiu Yaokang nodded solemnly and with a cold expression, ordered Fang Heng to leave.

"Okay, your mission is completed. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Hey…

"I just wanted to ask for more potions. You won't get angry over such a small matter, right?"

Fang Heng muttered to himself while he waved his hand and said goodbye to Qiu Yaokang.

"I'll come back in three days."

After seeing Fang Heng off, Qiu Yaokang locked the iron gate at the entrance of the basement.

His cold expression was wiped off from his face and he suddenly became extremely animated and thrilled to the extent that his body couldn't help but tremble due to his excitement.

"Great discovery!!!"

"Evolution crystal fragments!"

"Improved body attributes!"

"Eliminated the negative effects of the potions!!!"

In the afternoon, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi had finished distributing the ores.

They sat in front of the 'small hills' of ores and looked at the zombies coming and going.

Lu Yu said, "I counted them. There are 45 zombies in total."

Zhou Yi shook his head and corrected him, "But you counted wrong. It should be 43."

"Um…"

Lu Yu pondered for a moment.

"I majored in Mathematics."

"So what? Do you think I counted wrong?"

"No, boss. I think you're right. I counted wrong."

"Sigh, it's a pity that these zombies are a little stupid. Otherwise, they would be really powerful. After all, in the middle of the game, ordinary zombies are no longer a big threat. The enemy can target these zombies and kill them all."

"Even so, they are still very powerful. They are strong labourers and they don't even need to consume their vitality points. They can make a lot of money by constantly mining."

"That's true. The talent of God is ridiculous. With them around, God can still make money by lying down."

From a distance, they saw a small truck coming from the road.

The truck stopped by the roadside.

The door opened.

Seeing Fang Heng get off the truck, their expressions became strange again.

He was still riding a motorcycle when he went out in the morning and it had turned into a truck when he came back?

Lu Yu felt that this truck looked familiar.

Eh? Wasn't it the one in the apocalypse merchant camp?

"God, did you steal the truck from the apocalypse merchant?"

"I borrowed it."

"Oh." Lu Yu nodded and asked in a serious tone, "Do you need to return it?"

"Eh…"

Fang Heng was tongue-tied for a moment.

If he didn't return it, it would probably be survival points deducted from the deposit, plus being hunted down by all the apocalypse merchants and their companions.

"I think it's better to return it."

"Haha." Lu Yu laughed and said, "That's right. After all, we are living in a harmonious society. It would be inappropriate to be stealing and robbing from others, right?"

Fang Heng ordered the zombie clones to stop mining and move the coal into the truck..

"God, the day after tomorrow, the game will open the server transfer system for players below Level 5. The recruits of our company will also be transferred from other places to District 8."

In between moving the ores, Zhou Yi took the opportunity to inform Fang Heng and to say farewell to him.

"When the time comes, we are prepared to leave this forest area and develop elsewhere."

Zhou Yi had suffered quite a few blows during this period.

After he got a hold of himself, he carefully thought about the development of his gaming company in the future, and finally decided to find another way out.

Fang Heng would most likely continue to extend and develop outwards with the prison area as his base, and this area would be reserved by Fang Heng.

What a joke!

The nearby resources were all taken by God!

If they were to continue staying here and getting things that they want, it might even cause God to be unhappy.

Instead of this, they might as well develop in another place.

Of course, this was one of the many reasons.

Zhou Yi had a meeting at the company in the morning. They all agreed that with the domineering nature of the Dawn Gaming Guild, they would make a move on the prison.

The prison was a piece of fat meat!

The strong defense capabilities on the outside, coupled with the first super-large shelter established by Fang Heng in the game…

Not to mention that there was also the apocalypse merchant camp nearby.

It was a golden start!

No one could resist this temptation!

If the federation knew about this prison, they would be tempted and try to buy it for a large sum of money.

Not to mention "Dawn", who had no bottom line.

When that time came, there would be a battle between "Dawn" and Fang Heng.

Dawn was a powerful gaming union, and Fang Heng was not someone to be trifled with.

Zhou Yi felt that this was a protracted battle.

No matter who won or lost, it would have an impact on a small developing company like theirs.

If they continued to stay here, they would only be dragged into dirty waters.

Having a change of location for future development was the best solution.

Fang Heng did not think too much about it.

"That's a pity. I wanted to work with both of you for a longer period."

"It's alright. We can continue to work together in the future."

"The location of the new shelter has been decided. If we have a vehicle in the future, we can get there in half a day's drive. Let's keep in touch. If you need help, feel free to contact me."

"As for the next two days, I will continue to look for mines nearby."

Fang Heng nodded in agreement.

"Have a smooth journey. I will ask Liao Bufan to prepare the food and materials that I promised you. If I am not here, you can go directly to the prison to look for him."

Fang Heng had made a deal with Zhou Yi.

He would use food and basic materials as a condition, and Zhou Yi would help him explore the terrain around the prison, looking for possible mineral deposits.

In the beginning, Fang Heng asked Zhou Yi to explore the mineral deposits not for survival points, but strategic reserves in the future.

While the other players were still building shelters and no one was competing, Fang Heng could make the first move and let the zombie clones mine first, hoarding all kinds of resources.

The underground shelter he was building was big enough to store a large number of materials.

Seeing that the zombie clones had finished with the materials, Fang Heng gave the order to all the zombie clones to kill themselves before returning to the apocalypse merchant camp.

With Fang Heng's current level, the zombies would resurrect after 20 hours.

Tomorrow, he would go to Hope Town, which was about 200 kilometres away from the camp, to do a mission.

After all, the zombie clones moved too slowly, and it would take too much time to walk there.

The simplest way was to make them commit suicide. After 20 hours, they would automatically be resurrected by Fang Heng's side.

The ride in the truck was bumpy and Fang Heng finally returned to the merchant camp before sunset.

The NPC porters were used to it. Seeing Fang Heng, they hurried to help unload the goods.

The apocalypse camp was bustling with activity.

Vettel also walked out of the hut.

"Fang Heng, Mr Qiu asked me about you earlier on. This is the first time he's interested in a stranger. How did you do it?"

"Uh… I gave him some experimental materials."

Vettel slapped his head and said, "As expected, his mind is only filled with experiments."

Fang Heng shrugged and his game log started to refresh again.

[Hint: You have submitted 300 units of coal to the apocalypse merchant Vettel. You have obtained 600 survival points.]

[Hint: You have completed the mission.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the apocalypse merchant Vettel has improved.]

[Hint: You have submitted 300 units of coal to the apocalypse merchant Vettel. You have obtained 600 survival points ].

[Hint: You have completed the mission.]

The hint was refreshed for more than ten minutes before the porters emptied the truck.

Fang Heng looked at his backpack.

He had received a total of 350,000 survival points this time.

The demand for coal in the apocalypse camp was much higher than for wooden planks. The mission could still be continued.

Fang Heng opened Vettel's trading interface to purchase items.

[Item: Standard shotgun.]

Type: Firearm.

Additional skill: Recoil

Skill description: After using this weapon, there is a 60% chance of a one-second stun, and the hit rate of this attack will be reduced by 60%.

Description 1: A firearm that can cause great damage at close range. The disadvantage is that it has a short range. Due to its strong recoil, it is difficult for ordinary people to use it.

Description 2: When the weapon's strength points reached 6.5, it can be equipped and used; When the weapon's strength points reached 8, it can cancel the hit rate reduction effect of the skill – recoil; When the weapon's strength points reached 10, it is completely immune to the effect of the skill – recoil.

After completing a mission, Fang Heng's strength points had reached 10.8 points. He could easily use a shotgun and ignore the recoil effect.

He bought it!

[Item: Standard bulletproof vest.]

Type: Equipment.

Defense: 10.

Description 1: Wearing a bulletproof vest can effectively reduce the damage after being attacked by a gun. The prerequisite is that you don't get shot in the head.

Description 2: Made of special materials, a composite defense structure. If unlucky enough to be caught by a zombie, it can also provide decent defense.

Description 3: It is sweltering in the summer, and it is easier to sweat after wearing it. As a result, you are more likely to feel hot and thirsty.

[Item: Butcher's machete.]

Type: Weapon.

Level: Rare.

Damage: 30-60.

Description 1: The machete left behind by the butcher Antu after his death is stained with his grievances and resentment before his death. When attacking a zombie, it can cause additional damage to the current strength of the player and has a probability of producing a 'dismemberment' effect.

Description 2: Because the machete is extremely heavy, it requires 9.5 strength and 8.5 physique.

Fang Heng licked his lips.

The attributes of this machete were very strong. He had seen it the last time he was here.

Unfortunately, his attributes at that time were not enough to equip it.

Now, 10.8 strength was enough to satisfy the requirement.

[Item: Whetstone.]

Type: Consumable.

Description: When used, it can temporarily deal 20 damage to weapons such as swords and sabres.

[Item: Small explosive pack.]

Type: Consumable.

Description: A powerful explosion will occur five minutes after the specified time. It will cause a large amount of damage to all living creatures and buildings within its range. Please use it carefully.

[Item: Molotov cocktail.]

Type: Consumable.

Description: Throw the Molotov cocktail and it will cause a large amount of fire damage.

[Hint: You have obtained standard shotgun*1, shotgun bullets*350, standard bulletproof vest*1, Molotov cocktail*10, butcher's machete*1, whetstone*5, small explosive pack*3].

After completing the purchase, out of the 350,000 survival points that he had obtained today, only 2000 points were left.

The sun had already set. Fang Heng did not have the time to return to the prison, so he decided to stay in the apocalypse camp to rest for the night.

"It's on me today. I'll treat you to a drink tonight."

Vettel had earned a lot of money today.. He smiled and gave Fang Heng, his big customer, free accommodations and provided him with a luxurious single-room hut

Chapter 47: Luxury Villa

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fang Heng enjoyed a sumptuous feast, courtesy of Vettel, in the game and then went offline early.

He was going to enter a dangerous town tomorrow.

Fang Heng planned to rest early tonight.

He logged out of the game and opened the game pod. Fang Heng stretched his back.

It was not yet eight o'clock at night, but Team 3 of Phoenix Sound Gaming Company was still full of zest and energy.

Most of the workers were still working overtime in front of their computers, and two-thirds of the gaming cabins were still operating.

To be more precise, Team 3 had people working overtime 24 hours a day.

"A bunch of struggling fighters!"

Fang Heng muttered softly and picked up his phone to check.

There were a few missed calls and a few messages on his phone.

Xia Xi: "Fang Heng, how's your new job? Are you used to it?"

Xia Xi: "The Seoul team this year is just as weak as before. I watched their qualifiers and did a comparison. They're not a match for us."

Xia Xi: "Huh, they played dirty."

Xia Xi: "I won. I'm so tired. Lie flat."

Xia Xi: "Heehee, not bad. My friend said that you did well and helped her out."

Xia Xi: "You didn't embarrass me. I knew you could do it. Good luck!"

Unknown number: "Hello, Mr Fang Heng. Your accommodation has been arranged. Please go to the front desk to get your work permit and dormitory card. If you have any questions, please contact…"

"Okay, the staff dormitory has been arranged. Now I can't stay in a hotel anymore."

Fang Heng shrugged and replied to Xia Xi.

"Is the competition over? When will you be back?"

Seeing that Xia Xi didn't reply immediately, Fang Heng put away his phone and went to the front desk on the first floor of the company to get his work permit and dormitory card.

The dormitory was very close to the company and was located on the campus two streets away.

It only took 10 minutes to walk there.

Fang Heng went to the convenience store next door to buy some daily necessities and entered the campus with his dormitory card.

As he walked forward, Fang Heng checked the dormitory check-in manual given by the receptionist.

"Four people are living in a villa and each person has a separate room."

"Independent bathroom, independent study room, independent gaming room…"

"This company has such good benefits?"

Fang Heng was secretly surprised.

He remembered that when he was a professional player in the past, he didn't have such good treatment.

"Every day in the villa, there will be cleaner aunties in charge of tidying up the area and cleaning the rooms. Fresh ingredients will be provided in the fridge 24 hours a day."

"If you want to have supper, you can call the chef to send it over."

So luxurious? Was running a gaming company that profitable?

"I live in a top-class villa area. There are also high-end villa areas, normal apartment areas and high-end apartment areas. The conditions in the apartment areas should be a little worse."

Fang Heng put away the manual.

He raised his head and looked around, looking for the location of Villa No. 3 on the campus.

Coincidentally, two young men walked in front of him.

The two of them chatted and laughed along the way. The taller one was holding a can of beer in his hand.

They noticed Fang Heng, who was looking for directions.

"You're going the wrong way. The villa area is ahead. The apartment area is over there."

"Huh?"

Fang Heng lowered his head and looked at the number on the room card.

"That's right. I'm staying in Villa No. 3."

"Villa No. 3?"

Xiao Zhijie was stunned. He leaned over to take a look at Fang Heng's room card, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

It was Villa No. 3!

"Is there a problem?"

"Uh… No." Xiao Zhijie came back to his senses. "Villa No. 3 is just ahead. Go straight to the end, turn right and you'll find it."

"Thank you."

They brushed past each other.

The more Xiao Zhijie thought about it, the weirder he felt.

He turned his head to look back at Fang Heng again and whispered to his companion, Ji Kai.

"Have you seen that person before? Isn't he a newbie? He's living in Villa No. 3?"

"I haven't seen him either. Didn't you see his room card just now? What's his name?"

"Fang Heng."

"Oh, I remember him a little. I heard the old woman from the human resource department talking about him behind his back. Not long ago, a person who pulled strings was approved by President Qin to enter the company. His name is Fang Heng."

"Pulled strings?"

Xiao Zhijie frowned and was suddenly a little unhappy.

The entire Phoenix Sound Gaming Company only had three top-class villas. They could accommodate up to 12 people and enjoy the highest level of treatment.

Phoenix Sound Gaming Company always had a tradition. These three villas were reserved for the company's best players to stay in.

These 12 people represented the strongest players of the entire Phoenix Sound Gaming Company.

Ever since Phoenix Sound Gaming Company was acquired some time ago, most of the top players in the company had already left.

There were only two players who still stayed in the top-class villas.

Xiao Zhijie had tried to apply to live in the top-class villas before, but he was rejected the next day.

If he was not qualified to live in the top-class villas, how could a newcomer who pulled strings could be qualified?

"Humph, President Qin said that she would put quality before quantity. Now that a 'friend' has come, he can just move in."

Xiao Zhijie was angry and began to complain nonstop.

"Another president who doesn't know anything and only knows how to give orders blindly has arrived."

"If this goes on, I also want to leave my job."

"Listen to both sides and you'll be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will remain ignorant."

Ji Kai was relatively calm. He advised, "What that old woman in the human resource department said may not be true. Let's wait and see."

Xiao Zhijie pursed his lips. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Okay, as you said, seeing is believing. I'll test him."

Xiao Zhijie nodded. He drank the remaining beer in the can in one gulp.

"Hey, what do you want to do? Don't look for trouble."

"Tch, what are you afraid of? What can a person who only knows how to pull strings do?"

Xiao Zhijie turned around as he spoke. He raised the can in his hand and threw it at Fang Heng's back.

Fang Heng was walking forward and seemed to be completely unaware of the can coming from behind.

"I told you, pulling strings is…"

As Xiao Zhijie spoke, the corner of his mouth revealed a disdainful smile.

But in the next second, this smile froze on his face.

As the beer can was about to hit Fang Heng's back, Fang Heng suddenly stopped and stretched out a hand.

"Pa!"

Fang Heng didn't even turn his head. He steadily stretched out his hand and caught the can with ease.

Ji Kai's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Just now you said that he pulled strings to enter the company. Now you're dumbfounded."

Fang Heng slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Zhijie.

It's over! I've offended a high-level player!

Xiao Zhijie was shocked by Fang Heng's action. He immediately realized that Fang Heng was not someone who pulled strings to enter the company, like what the old woman in the human resource department said!

Given Fang Heng's gaze, Xiao Zhijie scratched his head awkwardly.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault. My hand slipped just now."

"It's okay."

Fang Heng smiled gently.

"Just be careful next time."

Xiao Zhijie let out a sigh of relief. He thought that it was alright. Fang Heng seemed to have a gentle temperament.

"I'll return it to you."

As Fang Heng spoke, he squeezed the can in his hand into a ball and suddenly exerted force.

"Xiu!"

The can that was squeezed into a ball was thrown back at Xiao Zhijie.

"Pa!!"

"Aiyo!"

Xiao Zhijie couldn't dodge in time. The can hit his forehead and immediately caused a small swelling.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Fang Heng gave an apologetic smile and turned around to leave.

Fang Heng felt very strange.

Previously, his back was facing the can, but he could sense that a can was being thrown at him from behind.

In the end, it turned out to be true!

The can that came at him from behind, regardless of the angle and strength, was the same as the perceived state of the can!

Could it be because of the in-game skill danger perception?

How could it be!

But…

Fang Heng thought and looked down at his palm again.

He clenched his fist tightly.

It seemed that he had also become stronger…

Could it be that transmigration had brought about a change in his body?

There was such an advantage?

Fang Heng shook his head and temporarily stopped thinking about these things. He walked into Villa No. 3.

The villa was cleaned thoroughly.

The first floor was a public living room, while the second and third floors were separated from each other.

Fang Heng's room was 301.

It was located on the left side of the third floor of the villa.

"The company is really rich."

Fang Heng walked up to the third floor and entered the room. He casually placed the daily necessities he bought on the table and lay down comfortably on the sofa.

"I bought it for nothing. There are all kinds of daily necessities ready-made. It's 100% new…"

Fang Heng went to take a shower. When he came back, he felt bored so he went to check out the official game forum.

The newly opened forum of District 8.

He clicked to enter.

Fang Heng glanced at the page. The forum was filled with the 'mourning' of various players and all kinds of pleas for help.

[It's over, it's all over. The house has been demolished, and there's no food left. I can't hold on anymore. Should I kill myself?]

[Brother, stop talking. I'm hungry just like you. Don't kill yourself. Hold on for as long as you can! It's counted as part of the game's duration! You only have three lives. You have to hold on!]

[Hehe, our team was harassed by zombies again last night. We don't have the energy to go out and explore during the day. We'll just lie down and starve again.]

[What if my teammates are infected? Can they be saved?]

[They can't be saved. Tie them up and wait for them to turn into zombies.]

[Some tree roots can be eaten, but there's a chance of diarrhoea. I suggest you mix them with food every day…]

[We're short of nails. Does anyone know how to get nails? ]

[The big boss upstairs has started to build a shelter? Tell me, how did you get food?]

[The shelter has been attacked. What should we do if a few zombies block the entrance? Brothers, help me think of a way out. It's quite urgent.]

[Don't say anything. Just close your eyes and muddle along for a while!]

Most of the posts were about players exchanging experiences. How could they starve better and muddle along better to lengthen the game time?

Fang Heng browsed through the posts. He felt that the content was almost the same. There were no practical survival skills, so he did not continue reading.

Tomorrow's mission location was Hope Town.

Hope Town was about 200 kilometres away from the apocalypse merchant camp. Fang Heng estimated that it would take three to six hours to get there by motorcycle, depending on the road conditions.

Fang Heng tried to search the forum for information related to Hope Town.

Line-marked red information appeared on the first page.

The post was posted by the forum management three days ago.

The federal government has cleared a large farm warehouse in District 8 and turned it into a temporary shelter and material collection point.

The location is about three kilometres south of Hope Town.

Any player in District 8 can get shelter in the warehouse for free.

The federal government will be responsible for the safety of the players.

But the federal government will not provide any survival material resources to the survivors.

In addition, the federation would also issue various resource collection missions to the players. The players could choose to exchange their resources with the federation for real-world coins.

"Exchanging resources for money? I wonder if they lack wooden planks…"

Fang Heng muttered softly.

Even if they did, Fang Heng would not exchange wooden planks for money with the federation.

As Fang Heng gradually gained a foothold in the game, he first occupied the prison and was also the first to complete the establishment of the super-large shelter…

Unknowingly, Fang Heng's ambition was also expanding.

In the beginning, he only wanted to make a living in the game.

Now, Fang Heng's mentality had changed.

His goal was to build a formidable shelter in the game and become an overlord on equal footing with the federation.

The federation was one of his competitors.

Fang Heng naturally had no intention of selling materials to his competitors.

Unless the price they offered was irresistible.

Fang Heng clicked the 'return' button on the web page.

He thought that maybe he could take the opportunity to go to the temporary shelter of the federation tomorrow and find out about the strength of the federation.

There were not many posts about Hope Town after searching.

Fang Heng continued to browse through the page.

According to the information released by many players, Hope Town was currently filled with zombies.

Among them, there were many high-level mutated zombies.

Ordinary players couldn't even get close to Hope Town, let alone enter it.

The federation seemed to have some ideas about Hope Town. They had been trying to lure the zombies away from the town in small batches over the past few days.

The results were quite good. The density of zombies in the town was much lower than before.

Fang Heng browsed through the posts one by one.

"Eh? Recruitment post?"

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

Location: Hope Town, recruitment of combat-type explorers.

Description: Enter Hope Town Hospital to find something. If you are willing, you can contact me for a detailed discussion. The reward will definitely satisfy you.

Description: This mission is very difficult. Those who are interested can chat privately.

Hmm? There are still people who want to enter Hope Town Hospital?

Fang Heng was on high alert.

Could it be that he had received the same mission?

Fang Heng rubbed his chin. He saw that the poster, Old Black, was online and tried to send him a message.

Fang Heng: "I am very interested in the mission you posted."

Old Black immediately replied.

Old Black: "I need you to prove your strength first."

Fang Heng: "I'm Fang Heng, a former professional player. You can go online and look up my information."

Old Black: "I'll go look it up."

After a while, old black sent another message.

Old Black: "Very good. Other than you, there will be some other people participating in the mission tomorrow. If you're interested, you can find me at the federation's warehouse. We can meet and discuss it in detail."

Fang Heng: "What's the reward?"

Old Black: "30 King of Gods' points."

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

He had King of Gods' points!?

In the King of Gods' game, players could use King of Gods' points to exchange for all sorts of high-value rare items in the King of Gods' space.

Compared to survival points, King of Gods' points were more precious and harder to obtain.

In addition, King of Gods' points could be exchanged for survival points at a ratio of 1:100, but survival points could not be exchanged for King of Gods' points.

Fang Heng replied once more.

Fang Heng: "I accept the mission. Tomorrow at noon, the federal warehouse outside Hope Town."

Old Black: "I'll wait for you."

After flipping through a few more pages of posts, he saw that there was no more useful news related to Hope Town. Fang Heng closed the web page and fell asleep..

Early the next morning, Fang Heng rode his motorcycle to the small town.

This time, Fang Heng chose to carry out the mission alone.

Liao Bufan originally wanted to follow.

Considering the danger of this mission and the time it would take, Fang Heng decided to let Liao Bufan stay behind.

Liao Bufan had to stay in the prison so that he could be constantly on guard against Prisoner Snake and his gang.

Five hours later, Fang Heng rode his motorcycle to the farm warehouse controlled by the federation.

The warehouse had been transformed into a temporary shelter for the federation.

The posts on the official forum were very appealing.

Many players who were nearby were rushing here.

Currently, the federation didn't have any extra food distribution, but who knew when they would start distributing food?

After all, with the protection of the federation, the chances of survival were always higher.

When the players saw the motorcycle that Fang Heng rode all the way here, they all cast envious gazes at him.

In the early stages, it was truly rare for players to possess such a high-tiered vehicle.

Fang Heng put away the vehicle and walked into a large warehouse.

The warehouse had already been transformed into a temporary resource point for the federation.

The federation temporary resource point was mainly responsible for collecting resources from the outside world.

They would use federation coins from the real world to purchase all kinds of materials from the players and continuously send the materials back to the safety centre that the federation was about to establish.

Fang Heng was certain that there must be a medium-sized shelter built by the federation under the warehouse.

There were many players in the warehouse and they all maintained good order.

The federation staff had staff passes hanging in front of their chest, making it easy to identify them.

Fang Heng immediately saw the big signboard in a conspicuous place.

"Collect all kinds of basic materials. The price is good. Get paid within seconds."

There were several service counters at the entrance of the warehouse, providing services such as material acquisition, consultation services, survival guides and so on.

Fang Heng walked to a counter.

"Hello, How can I help you?"

"I'd like to take a look at the acquisition list."

Fang Heng received the acquisition list from the federation staff member.

The list was densely packed with items.

At this stage, the federation almost wanted everything.

Basic resources like a piece of wood could be sold for 30 federation coins.

In Sucheng, 30 federation coins were about the price of a normal take-out.

"The new server is profitable."

Fang Heng sighed in his heart and immediately felt a heavy pressure.

After all, it was the federation and they had a huge amount of money. With this kind of collecting method, they could quickly build a powerful shelter.

Fang Heng put down the acquisition list in his hand and scanned the warehouse a few more times.

Soon, he saw the target.

A skinny old man was sitting on a bench with two black-skinned foreigners standing beside him.

Another man and a woman were sitting on the bench beside him.

The skinny old man also noticed Fang Heng and raised his hand at him.

Fang Heng walked toward these people.

"You are Old Black?"

"Yes, it's me. You are Fang Heng, right? I've seen your photo."

Old Black's face was full of wrinkles, and he was extremely thin and small.

"Looks like everyone is here. This is the Fang Heng I was telling you about just now."

Old Black turned his neck around, making creaking sounds.

"Fang Heng, let me introduce you. This is Hao Zhou, the leader of this mission."

"Hello, I'm Hao Zhou."

Hao Zhou had a strong figure and looked sturdy. He wore thin long sleeves and one could see the thick muscles under his clothes.

"These two are Kun Ba and Kun Ta, and this is Sister Li."

Fang Heng looked at these people.

Sister Li was tall and slender, about thirty years old, and she was dressed rather well.

Kun Ta and Kun Ba were both foreigners, and they were also tall and thin. Their cheekbones were high and bulging, and their hands were wrapped in white bandages.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Old Black led everyone out of the warehouse and came to a tree not far away from the crowd.

"This mission is very difficult. I need everyone to help me enter the Community Hospital in the town and find the backup generator set on the first floor of the hospital. Then, I'll blow up the generator set completely."

Old Black took out three explosive packs from his pocket and handed them to Hao Zhou.

[Item: Small explosive pack.]

Type: Consumable.

Description: A powerful explosion will occur five minutes after the scheduled time. It will cause a lot of damage to the creatures and buildings in the area. Please use it carefully.

"Remember to turn on the video when you arrive at the room of the backup generator set. Record the entire process of the explosion. This will act as the evidence that you have completed the mission."

Fang Heng felt puzzled.

Did he want to blow up the backup generator set in the hospital?

And what was the reason?

Before coming here, Fang Heng thought that Old Black was here to find the T-virus serum just like him.

Now, it seemed that Old Black had another purpose.

Sister Li asked, "Aren't you coming with us?"

"Hehehe, I'm old. I don't want to trouble you all. The whole town is full of zombies now. If we go together, I'll only be a burden to you all."

Fang Heng curled his lips. He always felt that the old man's eyes were a little gloomy.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Fang Heng didn't know whether it was because of his perceptive ability or because he didn't have a good impression of Old Black.

"That's the general situation. I need you to finish the mission before dark today."

Hao Zhou put away the explosives and asked, "When is the payment? What should we do if we can't contact you after finishing the mission?"

"There's no problem with that. I can advance the reward to the federation so that the federation can notarize the commission."

"When the time comes, even if I'm not around, you can use the video recording to directly receive the reward from the federation notary."

Old Black had already prepared his answer. He looked at everyone.

"Any other questions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I have no more questions."

Fang Heng shook his head as well.

As planned, he decided to follow these people into the town to check out the situation.

The town was full of zombies now. It would be very troublesome for Fang Heng to enter the town by himself.

Unless he was given enough time.

In that case, he could rely on his zombie clones to slowly clean up the town without anyone disturbing him.

But even so, he still had to be on guard against the mutated zombies in the town.

Going in with this group of people was the most efficient plan.

As for whether they could complete Old Black's mission was another issue.

"To complete this mission successfully, I propose that Hao Zhou be the leader of this mission."

Old Black paused and explained to the others.

"Hao Zhou used to be the commander of the squadron in District 6 of the federation. He had carried out many missions and served as the team leader many times. He's a veteran in this field."

Fang Heng's gaze shifted to Hao Zhou.

Hao Zhou took half a step forward.

"My name is Hao Zhou. I once served in the federation squadron and was the commander of the federation squadron. I'm proficient in all kinds of firearms."

"My talent is mental shock, an A talent. It can cause mental shock on the enemy, but the side effects are very huge. It cannot be used multiple times in a short period."

"Two years ago, my right leg was injured in a mission and had to be amputated. After that, I changed to a mechanical prosthetic limb during the Wasteland Apocalypse game."

"The prosthetic limb has a huge limitation, so I can't return to the squadron. I'm also unwilling to accept a civilian job provided by the federation, so I eventually left the federation."

"Now I'm a professional mercenary."

"I'll be the commander for this mission. If anyone doesn't approve of me, you can bring it up now."

"He seems quite professional."

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Hao Zhou continued, "Alright, I hope that we can cooperate with utmost sincerity in the next operation, complete the mission successfully, collect the reward and then go our separate ways."

"To have an effective collaboration, I now invite everyone to introduce their talents and abilities."

Everyone looked at each other.

"I'll go first."

Sister Li said, "I have an S-rank support type talent. I can create a perception barrier with a maximum radius of five meters."

"The barrier can block the perception of external creatures towards everything within the barrier."

"Under the barrier, even if the zombies see us, they won't think that we're living humans and attack us."

"Sorry to interrupt," Hao Zhou asked, "Including the mutated zombies?"

"Yes, the barrier is still effective against the Level 1 mutated zombies. As for the higher level mutated zombies, we haven't had the chance to test them yet, so we can't be sure for now."

Hao Zhou nodded, indicating that he understood.

It was Kun Ba and Kun Ta's turn.

The older brother, Kun Ba, spoke in slightly stiff Chinese.

"The two of us have been practising boxing since we were young. After we entered the game, we also obtained skills related to boxing mastery. We can increase the power of our boxing for a period. It's very effective against ordinary zombies."

As he spoke, Kun Ba threw a punch at the big tree beside him.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out.

The big tree swayed and more than ten leaves fell to the ground.

A deep fist mark was left on the tree.

"After equipping the iron gauntlets, the power can increase further."

Hao Zhou looked at Fang Heng.

"It's your turn."

Fang Heng pondered for a moment.

The people in the team were all capable, so he needed to show off his skills.

Fang Heng took out the butcher's machete from his backpack.

Everyone looked at Fang Heng silently.

They could tell that this machete was very heavy.

"I won't go into detail about my talent. It's a support type, so I can't use it in combat."

"As for combat, my character's attributes are relatively high, and my equipment is also pretty good."

The few of them fell into silence.

Good equipment? Character's attributes were relatively high?

What kind of self-introduction was this? Why did it sound like he was bragging?

Fang Heng saw everyone's doubtful gaze and could not help but raise his machete and wave it in the air a few times. Then, he displayed the butcher's machete's attributes to everyone.

"You guys can take a look at the attributes."

It was a piece of fine-grade equipment!

What a high damage rate!

The additional skills could also be considered perfect.

Only the equipment requirement became the greatest flaw of this weapon.

There was a sudden change in the way they looked at Fang Heng.

The value of this machete itself was quite high. It was sold for at least 5,000 survival points.

In other words, he was not boasting when he claimed that he had better equipment.

Moreover, equipping the machete required 9.5 strength and 8.5 physique.

Since he could be equipped with this machete, it meant that his attributes were indeed much higher than ordinary players…

What level was he at? His character's attributes had already met the equipment requirements for the machete?

From this, it could be deduced that his talent attribute should be some sort of attribute enhancement.

No one said a word as they secretly speculated in their minds.

Hao Zhou began to estimate the overall strength of the team in his heart.

At first glance, Fang Heng and the Kun brothers were the main force, specializing in combat.

Sister Li, on the other hand, favoured logistical support.

"If there are no problems, we can ask the federation to notarize it now."

After everyone finished discussing, Old Black brought everyone back to the warehouse.

He spent 500 survival points to complete the notarization at the federation notary, and he even transferred 150 King of Gods' points to the federation notary in advance.

At that time, Fang Heng could directly look for the federal staff to collect the mission reward after completing the mission.

"I wish you good luck. I'll wait here for your safe return."

After the preparations were completed, Hao Zhou led the team to a small hill on the east side of Hope Town.

From here, they could see a large group of zombies gathered in the town from afar.

The density of zombies was very high.

Hao Zhou spread out the map that he had prepared beforehand.

"I've conducted a check beforehand. The number of zombies from the east side is the least. After the invasion of the town, we can reach the Community Hospital after turning seven blocks."

Sister Li frowned and asked, "Based on the jogging speed of ordinary people, how long will it take to reach the hospital?"

Hao Zhou estimated in his heart for a moment and replied, "About less than ten minutes."

"Releasing the barrier will consume my mental strength. With my current ability, I can only maintain it for ten minutes at most. After that, I need at least two hours to fully recover my mental strength."

Kun Ba urged, "The time is just right. Let's do it."

"No, we won't make it in time. We'll also have to take into account the time when we break into the hospital. Along the way, we might have to deal with mutated zombies and we still need to clean up the zombies blocking the road. All of the above will waste time…"

Fang Heng took a bite of the Oreo biscuit in his hand and listened to the discussion without saying anything.

A moment later, Hao Zhou, the leader of the team, made a corresponding plan.

He used the small explosives he had obtained earlier to blow up the stone statue of the mayor at the entrance of the town not far away.

The collapsed stone statue would hit the building next to it.

At that time, the explosion and impact would create loud noises.

The noise would draw the zombies away, reducing the number of zombies gathered at the east entrance of the town.

Then, they would force their way in.

They would try their best to gain 3-4 minutes before Sister Li activated her perception barrier.

After confirming everything, it's time to execute the plan!

10 minutes later.

"Boom!!!"

The pre-set explosives exploded.

The fallen stone statue hit the building and created a huge noise.

Not far from the entrance of the town, Fang Heng was using a whetstone to increase the attack power of his weapon.

He vaguely felt the earth under his feet tremble slightly.

"It's a little exaggerated…"

The other members of the team had the same expression.

Hao Zhou smiled proudly.

"I forgot to mention when I introduced myself. I was in the demolition team when I served in the army."

"Big brother, you're really something!"

The loud noise attracted the zombies in the town, and they began to move toward the stone statue.

"Let's go!"

While the zombies in the town were distracted, the five of them gathered and quickly rushed into the town.

Smelling the scent of humans, the remaining zombies in the town swarmed toward Fang Heng and the others.

Fortunately, the zombies moved slower during the day.

The group jogged all the way.

Hao Zhou led the way, trying his best to avoid the zombies' encirclement. He would only counterattack when there was no way to escape.

After equipping the gauntlets, the strength of the two brothers, Kun Ba and Kun Ta increased again.

The two of them guarded the flanks and could easily kill the zombies with just two or three punches.

Fang Heng was guarding the back of the group, holding a machete in his hand.

"Chi!"

A head-on attack!

Blood splattered and the zombie charging at them from the right was cut into two halves by the machete.
