Chapter 91: I Did It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After breakfast, Liu Wei and the rookies returned to the prison square.
Liu Wei was stunned.
"Where are the logs?"
Where are the logs that were picked up yesterday?
What the hell!
Yesterday, there were piles of logs in the square, but why did they disappear overnight?
"Hey, look, over there."
A rookie pointed to the right side of the square.
In the right corner of the square, pieces of wooden planks were piled up messily, accumulating into a few hills.
What was going on?
In just one night, all the logs collected yesterday had turned into wooden planks?
How did he do it?!
There was no such operation in the rookie training manual of Phoenix Sound Gaming Company!
While the rookies were bewildered, they saw a military truck coming from behind and stopping in front of a few piles of wooden planks in the corner.
Liao Bufan jumped out of the truck.
Looking at these rookies who were dumbfounded, Liao Bufan felt as though he was seeing his younger self.
There was a time when he was as ignorant as these people.
"Brothers, stop looking. The wooden planks were arranged by the boss. Quickly come and help. Load the wooden planks onto the truck."
Liao Bufan shook his head.
Of course, he would not foolishly expose his boss's secret.
"The boss said that these are to be delivered to the federation. When the time comes, they will all be counted as part of your work performance. Don't slack off."
These wooden planks were all handled by Leader Fang Heng alone?
Liu Wei and the others were all in a state of shock.
The boss used a cheat?
Immediately, everyone was ecstatic.
Performance!
They didn't know how Leader Fang Heng turned so many logs into wooden planks in one night, nor did they know where the boss bought the cheat.
But they did know one thing.
There were at least a few thousand pieces of wooden planks piled up in that mountain…
One piece of the wooden plank was equivalent to one performance point.
That was a few thousand performance points!
With these few thousand team performance points, not to mention the internship period, just the company's bonus alone would be enough to make their hands go weak!
The promotion and salary increment was right in front of their eyes!
…
Three hours later.
At the federation temporary warehouse resource point outside Hope Town.
A truck filled with wooden planks was parked at the back of the warehouse.
The federation players began to unload the wooden planks into the warehouse one after another.
Just by looking at the quantity, there were only 500 to 600 wooden planks in a truck. It was indeed not a lot.
However, in the early stages of the game, all kinds of resources were extremely scarce. Very few factions were able to produce so many wooden planks at once.
Chen Yu heard that Fang Heng had brought a batch of wood resources over, so he especially ran over to greet Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng, I didn't expect to see you so soon. Have you thought about what I suggested last time?"
"You mean join the federation? I'm sorry, I don't like to be tied down."
"Okay."
Chen Yu didn't have much hope.
On the contrary, he was curious about where Fang Heng got so many wooden planks.
"The federation is currently setting up shelters and resource collection points in various places. We are quite lacking in resources like wooden planks. This time, you have solved a pressing problem."
"By the way, where did you get so many wooden planks?"
"Sigh! It's a long story. It took us a lot of effort to get them. We were preparing them for our use."
Fang Heng did not want to tell Chen Yu that he could pick up any wooden plank in his prison base.
This would cause the value of the wooden planks to depreciate rapidly.
He pretended to sigh, "I heard that the federation is short of resources and the company has given an order. Hence, I immediately sent it over to you guys."
"That's really… I'm really sorry." Chen Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'll go talk to the commander and ask him to pay more money to your company."
"No need, no need. However, I would like to ask you about something. Does your federation have an S-level talent enhancement plan?"
"This…"
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment.
He looked at Fang Heng and thought to himself, isn't it a little too early to look for an S-level talent enhancement plan?
After all, Level 10 was still a long way off.
"There is, but we usually don't give an S-level talent enhancement plan to outsiders."
"Is that so…"
Fang Heng was a little disappointed.
Chen Yu took the opportunity to suggest, "If you're willing to join the federation, I believe that the commander will definitely help you find a suitable enhancement plan."
No, once anyone joined the federation, they would be bounded and lose their freedom. It was very troublesome.
Fang Heng had never planned to join the federation.
It seemed like he could only place his hopes on the black market for the final S-level talent enhancement plan.
He wanted to see if he could find any information related to high-level missions there.
Fang Heng was thinking in his heart.
"Oh right, there's one more thing. Our Phoenix Sound Gaming Company has prepared a lot of wooden planks for the federation. It's just that there's a problem with the transportation."
"It's a long journey from the base to here. A round trip takes six hours. Can you think of a way to solve it?"
Chen Yu was stunned.
"What? Your company still has a lot of wooden planks?"
"Yes, there are at least 10,000 pieces of wood planks waiting to be transported over. We lack transportation tools. It takes too much time to transport them over and over again."
"10,000 pieces?!"
Chen Yu was a little speechless for a moment.
He even thought that Fang Heng was bragging.
It had only been a little while since the game started. They wouldn't be able to get so much even if they rubbed wooden planks day and night, right?
"Then why don't I report this to the higher-ups later and ask the commander for his opinion…"
As Fang Heng was speaking to Chen Yu, a group of federation players walked out from the warehouse.
The members of the party were all fully armed.
They each took out four modified motorcycles from their backpacks and placed them on the road.
The two players immediately stepped onto the four-wheeled truck installed at the back of the modified motorcycles and sat down steadily.
Uh… wasn't this considered overloading?
A federation player walked up to Chen Yu and saluted him.
"Captain Chen! The team has assembled! Please give us instructions!"
"Alright, let's take a break. We'll set off in ten minutes!"
"Yes!"
Fang Heng was a little curious. He looked at them a few more times and asked, "Where are you guys planning to go? Is there a new situation in Hope Town?"
"Not really. I just heard that something happened in the forest area. The captain received an emergency order last night. He asked me to bring a team over to check out the situation."
Forest area?!
Fang Heng's eyelids twitched when he heard that.
He thought with alarm, "Oh my god! It can't be that they're referring to me!"
"What is it? Is it a secret?" Fang Heng asked Chen Yu.
Chen Yu shook his head and asked, "Have you heard of the Dawn Guild?"
Dawn?!
Fang Heng's uneasiness grew stronger.
"Yes, those people often rob ordinary players in the game. I personally hate them, but what they do does not violate the law, and the federation cannot punish them."
Fang Heng nodded.
"What happened to them?"
"Yesterday, their team was wiped out in the game."
As he spoke, Chen Yu's expression became serious.
"Last night, we received news that Dawn's 40-man team was wiped out, and their shelter was demolished. According to them, someone has already occupied Prison No. 507 in the forest area."
Fang Heng was silent.
"We conducted an internal evaluation. Under normal circumstances, players at this stage of the game are unable to clear and occupy Prison No. 507."
"In addition, the prison side has the ability to wipe out the Dawn Guild."
Chen Yu rubbed his chin and lowered his head to analyze seriously.
"Also, according to Dawn's explanation, the prison side also has a high-level sniper rifle."
"Moreover, there's a relatively special mission involved in the prison. The federation is more concerned about this…"
"In short, the higher-ups of the federation are worried that the people occupying the prison are members of an extremely dangerous anti-federation organization. This morning, the leader asked me to go over and investigate the situation there."
"This mission isn't simple…"
Fang Heng silently reached out his hand and placed it on Chen Yu's shoulder.
"Hey, Chen Yu…"
Chen Yu, who was deep in thought, raised his head. "Eh? What?"
Fang Heng took a deep breath.
"I confess. I did it."
Chen Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"The prison is mine."
Chen Yu: !!!
Chapter 92: Cooperation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Phoenix Sound Gaming Company.
In the office, Li Ru rested her chin on one hand as she read through the emails she had received recently.
Suddenly, Li Ru let out a sneer.
"Tsk, wishful thinking."
"What's so funny?"
"Zombie Apocalypse Team 12, applying for an S-level talent enhancement plan."
The middle-aged man sitting in the opposite chair frowned.
He was the team leader of Zombie Apocalypse Team 7, Dai Zhe.
"Team 12? The new team that was established not long ago?"
"Yes, that's the one. The leader is Fang Heng."
Hearing Fang Heng's name, Dai Zhe's heart skipped a beat.
It was him?
The ruthless man who had completed the federation's mission not long ago.
"You approved it?"
"They applied through normal channels. I have no reason to reject it."
Li Ru turned to look at Dai Zhe.
"Are you afraid?"
"No, I'm just a little uneasy."
"In the past half a year, I've provided so many resources to Team 7 in the game, both openly and secretly, and they are ahead of the others by half a year in terms of performance. If you still can't get the S-level enhancement plan this time, you can resign and leave."
"That's right. I'm already ahead of them by so much."
Dai Zhe calmed his mind.
"I got it. I've completed another big deal in the past two days. When the time comes, I'll be able to gather a total of 20,000 performance points. We have to obtain the enhancement plan this time."
"Yes, we have to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
…
On the flat road, Fang Heng drove the military truck back to the prison.
Behind him, the federation's five motorcycles were accompanying him.
At this moment, there were eight fully armed federation players sitting at the place where the truck was originally loaded.
Fang Heng sat in the driver's seat and glanced sideways at Chen Yu.
Originally, Fang Heng wasn't willing to bring so many federation players back to the prison for a 'tour'.
However, Chen Yu said that the federation was willing to provide him with mission information regarding the S-level talent enhancement plan.
The condition was to go to the prison to take a look and confirm that no dangerous anti-federation hostile forces were invading.
What was the difference between this and getting a free lunch?
Fang Heng immediately agreed!
In the passenger's seat, Chen Yu had been communicating through the survival radio.
After a long while, he put away the survival radio with a serious expression, as if he had received a big mission.
"What did they say?"
"The higher-ups agreed to our cooperation plan after discussing it."
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
"We will provide you with a game mission that will reward you with an S-level talent enhancement plan. We will also try our best to provide you with assistance during the mission."
"But there are two conditions."
Fang Heng suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "What conditions?"
Chen Yu was very sincere.
"Firstly, we want to stay in the prison for a few days to ensure that the prison is not invaded by some anti-federation forces with ulterior motives."
"We understand that you are disgusted by this request, but it is very important to us. I hope you can understand."
"Sure, let them have a tour of the prison!" Fang Heng thought.
There was nothing that needed to be kept secret in the prison anyway. It was normal for them to just casually pass by a few vine zombies, right?
It wouldn't be a problem for them to pile up some logs in the prison square.
It was common for them to grow flowers and plants in the basement to improve the environment, right?
Fang Heng thought for a moment and agreed to the suggestion.
"No problem. What about the second condition?"
"The second condition is related to the mission of the S-level talent enhancement plan. After the mission is completed, our federation would like to retrieve the samples of high-level mutated zombies from the mission."
"Eh? Only corpses?"
"Yes, we only want corpses. Everything else, including the mission reward, is in your control."
"That's not a problem! Deal!"
Fang Heng admitted that even if he wanted corpses, they would be useless.
"Now, can we talk about the details?"
"Alright, Fang Heng."
Chen Yu took out a notebook from his backpack and explained seriously.
"First of all, the King of God's Zombie Apocalypse game is divided into multiple servers."
"Every server world is randomly generated."
"For example, we have met Alex before."
"In our server, he appeared in the underground secret research room of Hope Town's Hospital."
"But in District 6, there is no Hope Town on the world map at all. The secret research room and Alex will appear in another place."
"Yes, I understand that."
"However, there are a few that will appear on a fixed basis, just like Prison No. 507, which is where you are currently based in."
"Prison No. 507 exists on other servers as well. However, its location will appear randomly. It might appear in a small town, or at the beach. Within this server, it appeared at the periphery of the forest region, and it is currently occupied by you."
"What I want to say is that in the previous servers, the process of triggering a mission was the same. From the information that our federation obtained, the final mission reward is an S-level talent enhancement plan."
Fang Heng was stunned. He had a keen perception of something.
"You can't be trying to tell me that the information about the S-level talent enhancement mission provided by the federation is from Prison No. 507?!"
It turned out that after searching for a long time, the final S-level talent enhancement plan was in his own prison!
F*ck!
He had been bought by the federation for nothing!
Chen Yu noticed Fang Heng's expression. His skin was thin, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. His voice had become much softer.
"Captain is right. As expected, I can't hide it from you."
He was careless!
Who would have thought that Chen Yu, this seemingly simple and honest single, would be able to lie to others?
Fang Heng felt that he had been deceived.
Previously, he had already felt that something was amiss.
The fact that the federation was willing to provide an S-level talent enhancement plan to an outsider was not reasonable in itself.
Unless the mission itself had already been triggered by him!
"Eh… Fang Heng, the process of this mission is very difficult. Conservatively speaking, it will take at least one to two months to complete it. During this period of time, our federation will also fully cooperate with you to complete the mission."
They still wanted to stay in prison for one to two months?
Fang Heng admitted that he couldn't wait that long!
He had to complete the mission within five days and obtain the S-level talent enhancement plan!
After calming down and thinking about it, at least now he had the goal of obtaining the S-level talent enhancement plan, as well as the support of Chen Yu and the other toolmen.
Their understanding of the prison mission was much clearer.
It was not a loss.
After a brief calculation, Fang Heng said, "Alright, tell me about the mission flow of Prison No. 507."
"According to what we know, Prison No. 507 is one of the testing grounds of the Meteorite Company. The prison director once used prisoners to carry out unstable T-virus mutation experiments."
"The difficulty of the mission is the highest level, the SSS-level. There are a large number of Tier 1 mutated zombies and a small number of Tier 2 mutated zombies in the prison."
"The most troublesome one is the giant zombie, Erita. It's an enhanced T-virus variant that has higher intelligence compared to ordinary zombies."
"However, it's still under the control of the bloodlust. In terms of strength, it's a Tier 4 mutated zombie."
"Due to some special reasons, we need to obtain Erita's corpse and obtain a part of the sample from the corpse."
It was another Tier 4 mutated zombie!
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Fang Heng couldn't help but feel a headache.
Last time, relying on the vine zombies' fear of fire, they dug a hole to forcefully finish it off.
What should they do this time?
Continue digging a hole in the prison?
It wasn't easy…
Fang Heng thought for a while and asked, "Does your federation have a battle plan?"
"No."
Chen Yu shook his head repeatedly, his answer clear.
"The battle plan you used against Alex in Hope Town has proven that you have an outstanding command ability."
"According to the higher-ups, unless there's an emergency, under normal circumstances, we will listen to your orders."
It sounded like flattery.
However, Chen Yu had the self-awareness of a toolman.
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and started thinking about how to deal with a Tier 4 mutated zombie.

In the afternoon, the prison's door opened.
The truck struggled to bypass the layers of logs in the prison square and finally stopped in front of Building No. 3.
After opening the door, Chen Yu jumped out of the truck.
He had already seen the mountain of logs in the prison.
There was nothing he could do. The entire prison square was filled with logs. It was hard not to see them!
Chen Yu even saw a few players carrying logs to the prison square.
No way! Must it be so exaggerated?
Chen Yu muttered to himself and turned around silently.
He looked at Fang Heng in the driver's seat with a strange expression.
Was this Prison No. 507?
Why did he feel like he was in a large logging base?
He thought, "Also, didn't you say that it was difficult to obtain wood resources?"
"Why do I feel that your logs are just like free wood?"
"How on earth did you do it?"
Liu Wei, who had worked hard for an entire day and had moved logs for an entire day, similarly looked at Fang Heng and the federation players with a puzzled gaze.
What was the situation with leader Fang Heng?
Why were there so many people from the federation all of a sudden?
Could it be that… They were also here to help pick up logs?
"It's alright, Brother. These are all friends from the federation who are here to help. You guys can continue with your work. I'll give all of you a day off tomorrow and rest for a day. We'll continue the day after tomorrow!"
Fang Heng called out to Liu Wei. As he spoke, he extended his hand and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, bringing him to a corner at the side.
Only then did Chen Yu realize that there was actually a huge pile of wooden planks in the corner of the prison.
The number was around seven to eight thousand.
If it was in the past, Chen Yu would have been shocked by the number of wooden planks.
But now, he felt that it was within reason.
After all, the entire prison square was filled with logs.
It would be abnormal if there were no wooden planks.
"I'm not lying to you, right? All the wooden planks that we made are here."
"The wooden planks are too heavy, and it's too troublesome to transport them. If it's convenient, it's best if your federation sends someone to collect them personally. At most, it'll cost a little less. What do you think?"
"Uh…"
Chen Yu scratched his head. "Alright, I'll contact my superior."
"Hahaha, then I'll leave this matter to you. Come, I'll show you around the prison."
Fang Heng led Chen Yu's team to take a detailed tour of the prison's Building No. 3.
Including Chen Yu, the entire team was shocked.
A single room, three luxurious meals and a food buffet.
NPCs were responsible for cleaning the building all day long, and there was even electricity supply every night!
What kind of treatment was this?
Even for the powerful federation, they were still struggling to maintain their daily food and clothing.
They were often faced with a shortage of resources and needed to personally go out to collect food.
Like his other teammates, Chen Yu was extremely shocked.
Looking at the prison as a whole, the only thing that was lacking was its defense.
Chen Yu noticed it when he arrived.
In comparison, the prison's defense was not strong.
There was only one NPC guarding the prison's sentry tower.
If it was the federation, they would definitely send a small team to guard the sentry tower 24 hours a day and lay a circle of wooden traps around the perimeter.
After all, the other party was only a player with the support of the company.
To be able to do this was already very impressive.
Chen Yu secretly calculated in his heart.
He decided that after he returned, he must seriously report this matter to his superiors.
He must properly rope in Phoenix Sound Gaming Company and Fang Heng!
After going around in circles, Fang Heng brought everyone back to the basement.
Chen Yu was alerted when he saw a "Do Not Enter" sign on a reinforced wooden door.
"Fang Heng, what's in this room?"
"Oh, it's a warehouse I opened for storage."
"Can we go in and take a look?"
"But, I suggest you take a look at the door. Don't get too close."
As Fang Heng spoke, he pushed open the shelter's wooden door.
Chen Yu was confused.
He stood at the door and looked into the room.
The room was very spacious.
He immediately saw the potted plants in the corner.
"This…"
Chen Yu's face turned pale. He turned his head and looked at Fang Heng in shock.
"What is this?"
"Ha, I'm sorry. It's a hobby. I like to plant flowers and plants when I have nothing to do to cultivate my character."
This was called flowers and plants?!
This was clearly a corpse vine!
Chen Yu had seen Alex's mission report before, so of course, he knew what a corpse vine was!
Alex was a monster created by the corpse vine!
Fang Heng actually used some unknown method to move the corpse vine from the Meteorite's secret laboratory to this place!
Was he crazy!
He hid such a dangerous thing under the base!
What was he trying to do?!
If he wasn't careful and something happened to the corpse vine…
"Haha, I'm just joking with you. I'm just doing some research."
Fang Heng noticed Chen Yu's expression and put away his joking attitude.
"I received a mission related to the corpse vine. Because the corpse vine is extremely dangerous, I kept them here for research. Normally, no one would come in here."
"I see."
Chen Yu was scared half to death.
Good lord, who would plant the corpse vines in the basement to cultivate one's character?
After walking around the prison, Chen Yu did not find any signs of anti-federation forces.
The only thing that made him feel a little strange was the corpse vines planted in the basement.
It made sense if they were used for research.
As for whether there were any hidden anti-federation forces infiltrating the prison, he still needed to observe for a few more days.
Apart from the internal investigation of the prison, the federation would also conduct a thorough investigation of the other party outside of the game, including background checks, financial transactions, interpersonal relationships and so on.
After years of training by the federation, if there really were anti-federation forces lurking inside the prison, Chen Yu believed that he would not be able to hide it from the federation's eyes.
In the end, a few of them came to the three iron gates at the end of the underground passage.
Chen Yu explained to Fang Heng, "The information the federation has collected is not much. We only know that beyond these three iron gates is the second basement of the prison. The giant zombie Erita is locked inside."
"The magnetic card to open the other two iron gates can be found inside Prison No. 1 and Prison No. 2 respectively."
Chen Yu took two steps back as he spoke, pointing at the iron gate at the fork of the passage.
"This passage leads to the basement of Prison No. 2. You should have the magnetic card to open the gate."
"Be careful, there are a large number of Tier 1 mutated spider zombies and poisonous zombies inside Prison No. 2. They are very difficult to deal with."
"After cleaning up Prison No. 2, you can find the key and the magnetic card to the gate of Prison No. 1."
"As for the situation inside Prison No. 1, we have no other information yet."
Fang Heng listened carefully to Chen Yu's words and nodded solemnly.
"The estimated number of zombies in Prison No. 2 is between 3,000 to 5,000, and the number of Tier 1 mutated zombies is over 10%."
"Based on the efficiency of our federal team alone, we estimate that it will take at least 10-15 days to clean up all the zombies. If there are any accidents during this period, it might be a little slower."
Fang Heng looked at the passage on the right that led to Prison No. 2, deep in thought.
3,000 to 5,000 low-level zombies?
Great! Another large sum of points could be added to his account!
With this amount of points, the remaining zombies could basically complete the transformation into vine zombies…
"After all, the final reward for this mission is the S-level talent enhancement plan. The process won't be that simple. Although it's very difficult, we can still complete the mission slowly."
Chen Yu looked at Fang Heng, who was deep in thought, and patted his shoulder to show his encouragement.
"Take your time. The federation will provide you with support and help you clean up the zombies."
Fang Heng raised his head and said, "Alright, thank you."
Report chapter
Chapter 94: Exploring Building No. 2
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[Third stage mission: Exploring the second basement of the prison.]
[Mission name: Exploring the second basement of the prison.]
[Mission description: You have discovered an unknown area that is not marked on the map in the basement of the prison. It leads to the second basement. Please try to enter the second basement without damaging the main building of the prison.]
Mission reward: Survival points.
In the evening, Fang Heng deliberately brought Chen Yu and the others to drink with Liao Bufan.
Chen Yu was usually very simple and honest, but he was even more forthright when he drank.
After a round of heavy drinking, Chen Yu and the others could not hold on any longer. They took a hot bath and then went offline to rest.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Fang Heng returned to the basement alone.
Behind him, fifty zombie clones blocked the narrow passage.
It would take at least ten days to clean up Prison No. 2?
'Are you kidding me? That's too long.'.
Fang Heng believed that he didn't have that much time to waste.
He walked to the iron gate leading to Prison No. 2 and took out a magnetic card.
"Beep, Beep, Beep! Verification successful!"
"Ka, Ka, Ka…"
The iron gate rose again.
Fang Heng raised his flashlight and scanned the inside of the passage of Prison No. 2.
He went in to check the situation!
Fang Heng strode forward.
The inside of the passage was very dark.
Relying on the light of the flashlight, Fang Heng carefully walked into the passage with a shotgun in one hand.
Soon, he passed a corner of the underground passage and heard faint footsteps in front of him.
The zombies that were lingering in Prison No. 2 smelled the scent of humans.
They walked unsteadily from the front of the passage.
There was a dense group of about a dozen of them.
Trouble was coming. It was the poisonous zombie!
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
He immediately recognized the poisonous zombie that was mixed among the ordinary zombies.
Tier 1 mutated zombie-poisonous zombie.
The poisonous zombie was very famous among the players.
Its attributes were average, but its HP was higher than ordinary zombies.
However, it had an air sac filled with viruses inside its body.
Once the poisonous zombie died, the air sac inside its body would explode, and the surrounding area would be filled with poisonous gas.
Fang Heng took half a step back.
Behind him, five vine zombies held wooden spears and staggered forward.
They stood side by side and blocked the narrow passage.
When the zombies got closer, the clones raised their wooden spears and attacked.
"Crack!"
The spears pierced into the rotten flesh of the zombie.
The poisonous zombie mixed with the ordinary zombies was attacked, so it waved its arms and counterattacked.
Such a normal attack dealt almost zero damage to the vine zombies!
On the other hand, when the vine zombies were attacked, vines of all sizes shot out from their bodies.
The vines quickly wrapped around the poisonous zombie, trapping it on the spot.
In just a moment, the poisonous zombie was stabbed into sieves by the zombie clones and fell to the ground.
"Boom!"
After the poisonous zombie died, the gas bag in its body exploded.
The air was immediately covered by a layer of pale purple mist.
Seeing the poisonous mist, Fang Heng took a few steps back, frowning.
This kind of poisonous gas was very scary. Once a human inhaled it, they would enter a mild 'poisoning' state.
If they didn't leave in time and inhaled more poisonous gas, the poisoning state would quickly turn into 'infection'.
In the early stage, players couldn't make effective anti-infection potions.
Infection was equivalent to death.
The most troublesome thing was that the poisonous gas left behind by the poisonous zombies after death would take three to five hours to slowly dissipate.
To ordinary players, the poisonous zombies were not strong, but they were extremely disgusting!
Chen Yu was not wrong. With such disgusting zombies, it would indeed take them ten days to half a month to slowly clean them up.
Fang Heng didn't dare to go near them.
However, he was different from ordinary players. He had his zombie clones.
To zombies, the poisonous gas was useless.
The zombie clones stood in the poisonous gas and were unharmed.
"The safety level of killing monsters has been verified."
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
It seemed that it wouldn't be a problem to use the vine zombie clones to clean up the entire Prison No. 2.
Just as he was about to leave, Fang Heng stopped again.
From the tunnel in front of him came a few more sounds of friction against the wall.
Fang Heng immediately raised his flashlight and shone it at the wall.
Two or three black shadows quickly climbed along the wall.
Spider zombies!
They were old friends!
Fang Heng took two steps back and hid behind two zombie clones, then raised his shotgun.
The spider zombies pressed against the wall to attack.
They wanted to attack Fang Heng but were blocked by the vine zombies at the intersection.
Helplessly, the two spider zombies at the front flew up and attacked the vine zombies with their sharp claws.
"Chi!"
The spider zombie's sharp claws cut two long and thin wounds on the vine zombies.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"
In the blink of an eye, several vines shot out from the wounds on the zombie's body.
The vines went straight for the spider zombie.
The spider zombie only hesitated for a moment before its arm was entangled.
It couldn't break free for a moment. In the next second, more and more vines rushed toward it.
The vines wrapped the spider zombie tightly, trapping it on the spot.
Then, the remaining zombie clones in the tunnel rushed forward.
They raised their wooden spears.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"
Soon, the spider zombies covered in vines were stabbed into sieves by the zombie clones.
Seeing that, Fang Heng put down the shotgun in his hand.
"Hu! Impressive!"
Fang Heng now had a new understanding of the combat ability of the vine zombie clones.
Once the number of vine zombies reached a certain level, these Tier 1 mutated zombies wouldn't be able to threaten them at all!
With the vine zombies under him, it wouldn't be a problem to clear out the entire Prison No. 2!
With a wave of his hand, he controlled the remaining 30 zombies behind him to swarm into the tunnel.
Fang Heng turned around and left the passage of Prison No. 2.
He used the magnetic card again to close the iron gate.
After returning to the shelter in the basement, Fang Heng lit a bonfire.
He opened the game log and rows of notifications popped up.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed an ordinary zombie. You have received 3 survival points. You have received skill-basic strength training experience points 1.]

"It should be enough to hack for one night. I'll clean up Prison No. 2 first. I'll think of a way to deal with Prison No. 1 tomorrow."
"The target is to complete the mission within three days. After four days, I'll obtain three S-level talent enhancement plans…"
Fang Heng left a simple bed on the ground.
He went offline and went to sleep!

Chapter 95: Blueprint-small Sentry Post
Fang Heng drank a little last night, and he slept late. He slept until 10 o'clock.
Fang Heng couldn't be bothered to go to the gaming company, so he logged into the game cabin in the villa.
After entering the game, Fang Heng opened the game log to observe.
[Hint: During the time you are offline, your zombie group has completed the mission of clearing Prison Block No. 2. Your zombie group is on standby.]

"12,000 survival points, and four more zombie clones. Unfortunately, the points are still not enough…"
Fang Heng muttered softly.
He put away the bonfire and the makeshift bed and returned to the passage.
"Verified!"
Opening the iron gate between Prison No. 2 and Prison No. 3, the vine zombies returned to the underground shelter one by one.
Whenever they passed by Fang Heng, they would throw the materials that dropped after killing the monsters in front of him.
Fang Heng began to check the gains from last night's 'hack'.
[Hint: You have obtained scrap*21, rags*77, broken wrench, damaged engine parts, scrap metal*33…]
Fang Heng threw the items that the zombies collected into his backpack and focused on reading the skill book.
"Recipe, fragrant fried potato cake."
"Recipe, home-cooked braised pork ribs."
"Recipe, home-cooked eggplant."
"Hehe, it's still a recipe, home-cooked stir-fried meat. Looks like today is a home-cooked series."
As Fang Heng was speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up.
[Hint: You have obtained blueprint-small sentry tower.]
"Eh?"
"Finally obtained something good?"
Blueprint: Small sentry tower.
Description: After use, you can control the construction of the sentry tower.
Sentry tower's attributes: The small sentry tower can accommodate up to five people at the same time. Players (including NPC mercenaries) in the sentry tower can have an additional 1,500 field of vision and an additional 30% long-range weapon attack hit rate, an additional 50% long-range weapon attack critical rate, an additional 10% long-range weapon attack speed and an additional 20% long-range weapon effective attack range.
Blueprint learning condition: Basic construction (Level 10).
Sentry towers were a good thing!
In reality, in the game, even if players did not have blueprints, they could simulate the construction of sentry towers and attack zombies from a high position.
However, players could not enjoy the additional attributes of the completed building.
Moreover, the completed building was very fragile, and could not be considered as a whole by the King of Gods. Its durability was lower and it was easier to be destroyed by zombies.
Prison No. 507 already had two middle-grade sentry towers.
When he had some free time in the next few days, he would build a circle of sentry towers around the prison and recruit more elite Dark Knight NPCs to greatly increase the prison's defense.
When that time came, he would not be afraid even if there were more than ten blood moons!
Fang Heng thought happily as he patted the skill book he had collected on his head.
[Hint: You have learned the recipe-fragrant fried potato cake, braised pork ribs, eggplant, stir-fried pork. Your cooking skill 13.]
[Hint: You have learned the construction of a small sentry tower.]
After counting the rewards, Fang Heng gave the order to search Prison No. 2 to the zombie clones. Then, he personally led ten zombie clones into Prison No. 2 to explore.
Prison No. 2 had been massacred by the zombies once.
However, because the zombies lacked intelligence, they wouldn't force their way into locked rooms.
Fang Heng didn't have time to search carefully, so he went straight to the management room on the first floor.
He had heard Chen Yu mention that the magnetic card for Prison No. 2 could be found in the management room on the first floor of the prison.
He followed the underground passage to the first floor, then walked along the corridor and passed by the prison area. Soon, he found the locked management room.
Fang Heng waved his hand.
Several zombie clones behind him raised their small iron hammers and knocked on the door lock.
"Bang!"
After a few rounds of knocking, the door lock was broken.
Fang Heng pushed open the iron gate.
The zombies in the room slowly turned around and faced Fang Heng.
Before they were ready to attack, the zombie clones had already pounced on them and stabbed them with wooden spears.
After confirming that there was no danger, Fang Heng entered the room to investigate.
The management room was in a mess.
The monitoring platform had lost its function due to the power failure. The screen was pitch black.
Fang Heng immediately saw a blood-stained book beside the table.
[Hint: You have obtained the prison management duty log.]
Fang Heng opened the duty log and read.
[2.1]
Nothing happened.
[2.2]
Nothing happened.
[2.3]
Nothing happened.
…
[2.13]
There was an accident in the second basement of Prison No. 2. The magnetic card had failed and had been reported for repair.
Please note that the magnetic card with the highest authority is stored in the safe of the gun room on the second floor of Prison No. 1. It can be used in emergencies. The small password of the safe is 2391.
[2.14]
Nothing happened.
[2.15]
Nothing happened…
Fang Heng closed the book and frowned slightly.
"Strange."
The magnetic card was stored in the gun room on the second floor of Prison No. 1?
Could the highest authority magnetic card open all the door locks directly?
Why was it different from what Chen Yu said before.
There was probably a mistake with his mission information.
Fang Heng thought as he picked up the key chain hanging on the wall of the management room.
…
Chen Yu was full of energy.
He and his team had never had such a comfortable life in the apocalypse game.
Last night, they had their first full meal in the game, and drank several bottles of cold beer along the way.
They even took a hot shower before going to bed!
What made Chen Yu even happier was that he did not find any signs of anti-federation infiltration in the prison.
The news that came from the federation today also proved Fang Heng's innocence.
The federation confirmed that Fang Heng had completely cut off contact with his dangerous ex-girlfriend for more than a year.
The only thing that made Chen Yu slightly wary was the logs piled up in the square.
Fang Heng seemed to have an efficient way of gathering wood.
It could be a talent skill.
Chen Yu felt that these were not within his scope of investigation.
Many people did not want to expose their talent skills in the game.
Chen Yu understood this very well.
Moreover, he felt that with the help of Fang Heng's large number of materials, the federation could build a larger shelter and protect more people.
Chen Yu felt that this was a great thing.
After spending a day in prison for nothing, Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed.
He was already prepared to do his best to help Fang Heng complete the prison mission and help him obtain an S-level talent enhancement plan as soon as possible.
However, the strange thing was that he couldn't find Fang Heng even after walking around the prison.
[Hint: Your survival radio has received an emergency message.]
Chen Yu turned on the survival radio.
Fang Heng: Bring the team to Prison No. 1 in ten minutes. I'll be waiting for you.
Chen Yu: Roger that.
Chen Yu scratched his head.
"Prison No. 1? Strange, why isn't it Prison No.. 2?"
Report chapter
Chapter 96: Exploring Prison No. 1
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After receiving the news from Fang Heng, Chen Yu gathered his team and waited for orders in front of Prison No. 1.
Not long after, Fang Heng came over with a key.
"Did you get used to staying here last night?"
"Of course, the environment here is much better than the federation warehouse resource point."
If he had a choice, Chen Yu hoped that he could stay here forever.
"Fang Heng, why did you arrange to meet here? Are you planning to attack Prison No. 1 first?"
"You guessed right."
Chen Yu felt strange. Normally, shouldn't they start with a simple plan?
They had agreed that Fang Heng would be in charge of the prison operation, so Chen Yu didn't ask any questions. He just waved his hand, indicating for the federal team to cooperate.
"From the information we got, there are Tier 2 mutated zombies in Prison No. 1. It's very difficult to deal with them. We need to be fully prepared."
"Okay. This time, we'll go in and explore, and check out the type and number of Tier 2 mutated zombies inside."
"Okay."
Fang Heng took out the key and walked to the gate that was tightly bound by the iron chain.
"Click!"
Using the key to open the iron lock on the chain, Fang Heng used all his strength to pull off the chain.
The federal team stood behind Fang Heng separately and gathered together in a vigilant posture.
"Bang!"
The heavy iron chain was removed and thrown to the ground.
Fang Heng pulled out his machete and carefully pushed open the gate of Prison No. 1.
The inside of the prison building was completely silent.
It was a chaotic scene. All kinds of tables were overturned on the ground and paper was scattered all over the ground.
Dried blood stains could be seen everywhere.
It was certain that there had been riots here before.
Strangely, the entire prison building was extremely quiet.
Fang Heng turned his head and looked at Chen Yu.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Yes."
Chen Yu also felt that something was wrong, so he explained in a low voice.
"I'm not too sure about the specifics either. Prison No. 507's mission was obtained by the federation from other sources."
"We know the least about this part of the mission in Prison No. 1. We only know that we can find a magnetic card here that corresponds to the electronic lock that can open the underground passage."
"There's a serious lack of information about this part of the mission process. There's also the possibility of errors in the before and after mission lines."
"The intelligence department believes that these differences may be caused by subtle changes between the various servers."
Fang Heng nodded to show that he understood.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Chen Yu became more and more alert. He gestured to his team members behind him.
The 20-man federal team covered each other as they entered the prison together.
Soon, they arrived at a fork in the hallway.
One led to the prison area, and the other led to the isolation infirmary in the management area.
Chen Yu looked at Fang Heng and asked, "Are we going to the infirmary first?"
"No, we're going to the second floor first."
"The second floor?"
"Yes, I received news that there's a safe in the firearms room on the second floor. The magnetic card is stored in the safe."
"Alright, then let's go to the second floor to investigate first."
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.
He was a little curious as to where Fang Heng got the news from.
Now was not the time to discuss this issue. He waved his hand and the federal team began to move. They began to explore the stairs on the right side one after another.
The team carefully went up to the corridor on the second floor and slowly moved forward along the corridor leading to the management area on the second floor.
Fang Heng and Chen Yu were at the front of the team.
They didn't encounter any zombies along the way.
Chen Yu said in a low voice, "It's so quiet all the way. There must be something strange."
"Yeah."
Fang Heng had the same thought.
While they were exploring, Fang Heng suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.
He suddenly felt a sense of danger approaching.
The sense of danger came from the right.
Fang Heng suddenly turned his head around.
On the right was a glass window of a meeting room. The shutters were tightly shut, so he could not see what was inside the room.
"Chi! Chi Chi!!"
Fang Heng's sharp senses could hear something rapidly moving against the wall.
The sound was also coming from behind the glass window.
And it was getting closer!
"Be careful!!!"
Chen Yu was stunned.
"Bang!"
The glass window exploded with a "bang".
A red shadow dashed out from the broken window and pounced on Chen Yu.
Sharp white claws were sticking out.
Fang Heng shouted.
"Get down!"
Chen Yu's reaction speed was extremely fast. Out of Fang Heng's trust, the moment he heard Fang Heng's shout, he immediately took the safest position to protect himself.
He turned his body sideways and rolled on the ground.
Fang Heng, who was standing behind Chen Yu, raised his shotgun.
The muzzle of the shotgun was aimed at the approaching dark red creature.
"Bang!"
Fang Heng pulled the trigger.
The shotgun hit the target accurately!
The red creature flew backwards.
"It's the Licker!"
Someone immediately cried out in alarm.
The Licker!
It was the most difficult creature to deal with among the Tier 2 zombies.
Fang Heng's pupils constricted.
His mind was immediately flooded with memories about the Licker.
The Licker was different from ordinary zombies. It was an unstable experimental product created by injecting the T-virus directly into a living body.
It was specially cultivated and manufactured by Meteorite Company. During the cultivation stage, Meteorite Company researchers would directly feed it with live DNA.
After the living test subject absorbed enough nutrients, the T-virus continued to manifest, causing the test subject's skin to fall off and the muscle tissue to grow abnormally.
After the skin fell off, the subject gradually lost the function and purpose of the human "hand", and the forelimbs mutated into claws.
Due to the change in shape, Meteorite Company named it-the Licker.
They are better at hunting than humans!
Lickers are good at moving and hunting in places such as ceilings, walls and so on.
Their weakness is their head and exposed heart!
Most Lickers were in a crouching position, which made it easier to protect the heart.
Heart!
Brain!
Fang Heng's gaze focused on the two fatal points of the Licker.
The Licker was hit by a shotgun at close range, and the huge sound wave and impact sent the Licker back into a short-term stun state.
The Licker revealed its heart in the reclining state!
Fang Heng pulled out his machete.
Ever since the end of his trip to Hope Town, after a period of hacking, Fang Heng's A-level skill, strengthen the body, had been upgraded to Level 10!
Level 10 skills increased Fang Heng's basic strength and physique attributes by an additional 7 points!
He had also finished the gene enhancer that Qiu Yaokang had given him. All three of his basic attributes had been increased to a maximum of 5 points.
With the addition of his basic strength training, Fang Heng's strength had now reached 19 points!
It was almost four times the strength of an ordinary player!
Grabbing the Licker's stiff back, Fang Heng took a quick step forward, brandished his machete and slashed forward with all his strength!
"Chi!"
The machete slashed downwards from top to bottom and left a huge gash on the Licker's body.
The slash directly cut the exposed heart in half.
"Plop!"
The Licker fell to the ground.
It struggled on the ground for a moment, and its body gradually became stiff. Its limbs showed strange distortions, and it curled up into a ball.
[Hint: You have killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-the Licker. You have obtained a complete evolution crystal.. You have obtained 20 survival points.]

Chapter 97: Flashbang
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"This is troublesome!"
"I didn't expect it to be a Licker."
Fang Heng thought to himself. He finally understood.
No wonder there were no ordinary zombies here.
Lickers would eat ordinary zombies when they were hungry to obtain nutrients.
Fang Heng turned his head and looked at Chen Yu, who had just stood up.
Chen Yu was still scared, so he nodded at Fang Heng.
The two of them tacitly did not speak.
For some reason, after the Lickers had completed their evolution, their visual nerves had completely degenerated and lost their function.
However, correspondingly, the Lickers' tactile and auditory nerves far surpassed that of ordinary animals.
They were extremely sensitive to sound!
The gunshot just now should have attracted many Lickers over.
They couldn't stay here for long, they had to evacuate as soon as possible!
Chen Yu pointed at the entrance that led to the prison area not far away, then quickly made a few gestures to the team members.
He signalled the team to try not to make a sound, then quickly retreat!
Survival was more important, quickly retreat!
Fang Heng also didn't dare to stay any longer.
Dealing with one Licker was already scary enough. If two or three Lickers were to appear at the same time, their entire team would probably have to die here.
The team carefully retreated to the first floor.
What they were afraid of came true. From upstairs, the sound of friction could be heard rapidly approaching.
Fang Heng's passive perception once again gave him a premonition of extreme danger!
"Quick! Run!"
Fang Heng shouted.
He was sure that a large number of Lickers upstairs had caught up to him.
There was no point in continuing to remain silent!
When the team members heard Fang Heng's shout, they immediately sprinted along the road they had come from!
Behind them, the sounds of friction coming from the pursuers were getting closer and closer.
Fang Heng's agility attribute was twice that of an ordinary player, and his running speed was also slightly faster than the other team members.
He was far ahead of the other players and was the first to run to the prison's entrance. He turned his head and looked behind him.
Nearly a dozen red Lickers were sticking close to the wall and quickly chasing after the federation players.
Fang Heng switched pistols and aimed at the Lickers, trying to slow them down.
"Bang! Bang Bang!"
The Lickers were extremely agile. They relied on their high-speed movement to dodge the bullets.
Fang Heng finished firing a round of bullets, and 60-70% of them missed.
Seeing that the last federation player at the rear was about to be caught up, Chen Yu turned his head and threw a blue flashbang backwards.
"Buzz…"
Ear-piercing ringing sounds accompanied by intense flashes of light exploded within the group of Lickers.
Fang Heng practically lowered his head and closed his eyes.
The flashbang model that Chen Yu threw quickly appeared in his mind.
GNT-200 flashbang!
Manufacturer-Meteorite Company!
When detonated, it could not only emit a strong light, but also release high frequency sound waves.
The sound waves would affect the Lickers' hearing for some time.
Rich federation!
Just this flashbang alone cost 75 King of Gods' points to purchase.
Affected by the high frequency sound waves of the flashbang, the Lickers stood rooted to the spot.
Taking advantage of the Lickers' inability to move, the federal team quickly left the warehouse.
"Bang!"
The door was tightly shut. A few federal team members rushed up and cooperated to once again wrap the door with iron chains.
"Bang! Bang Bang! Bang!"
The Lickers were still unwilling to give up. From within the prison, the continuous sound of the door knocking could be heard.
The members of the federal team had cold sweat all over their foreheads. One after another, they raised their pistols and aimed at the door.
Fortunately, the prison door was hard enough.
After a while, the banging sound finally faded away.
"Phew!"
The members of the team let out a sigh of relief. They put down their pistols and relaxed for the time being.
Fang Heng still had a frown on his face.
He didn't expect the difficulty of this mission to be so high.
The Tier 2 mutated zombies were already very difficult to deal with, but the Lickers they encountered were the most difficult to deal with!
Fang Heng didn't remember to count carefully just now. He roughly estimated that there were at least ten Lickers!
"Our mission is going to be troublesome. The Lickers are too powerful. It's too difficult to deal with them at this stage."
Chen Yu panted heavily and walked over to discuss with Fang Heng.
Even now, his heart was still pounding furiously.
"Their movement speed is too fast. Not to mention using a crossbow, even if we use a gun, our accuracy is very low. If we want to complete the mission, we have to think of another way."
"Okay."
Fang Heng leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought.
Of course, he understood what Chen Yu was saying.
He had just personally experienced using a pistol to attack the Licker.
Even if he had 15 points of high perception, he could only hit 5 out of 15 bullets.
Moreover, the damage dealt by the pistol to the Licker wasn't high. A few simple attacks wouldn't be able to deal fatal damage to it.
Against the Licker, the vine zombie was no match for it.
The Licker's powerful strength attribute allowed it to directly use the vine zombie's entanglement skill.
Fang Heng closed his eyes and quickly recalled the Licker's weakness.
Chen Yu also felt a headache coming on. The difficulty of this mission was much more difficult than what was recorded in the original information of the federation!
At this stage, it was impossible for a player to deal with so many Lickers.
It was the same for the federation.
How could he persuade Fang Heng to give up this mission?
Chen Yu thought for a moment and persuaded, "Fang Heng, why don't we give up? After some time, when our weapons and equipment are ready…"
Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes.
"The Lickers' visual nerves have deteriorated. They rely on their strong hearing to determine their location. We can think of a way to make use of this."
"Oh?"
Chen Yu was stunned again.
He thought along with Fang Heng's words and his eyes lit up.
"I understand. Are you saying that we should try our best not to make any noise and sneak into the gun room on the second floor to get the magnetic card without being discovered by the Lickers?"
Fang Heng waved his hand.
"Don't even think about it. It's the game's usual routine. The door to the second floor gun room is most likely locked from the inside."
"If we want to go in, we will have to break the door. The sound of breaking the door will attract the lickers. This is a dead end."
"Uh…"
Chen Yu was at a loss for words.
He felt that what Fang Heng said made a lot of sense.
"Unfortunately, the higher-ups only have one flashbang for emergency use. We just used it up. Why don't I go back and request for two more from the higher-ups?"
"We can take advantage of the short-term stun caused by the flashbang to buy time and take the magnetic card from the gun room on the second floor."
Chen Yu felt that this was the most likely way to complete the mission.
He did not expect Fang Heng to decisively reject it once again.
"No, it will take too long to apply to the federation. It will take at least two to three days to go back and forth. Moreover, whether the federation approves it or not is another matter. The effects of the two flashbangs are limited and the risk is too great."
Hearing what Fang Heng said, Chen Yu was a little speechless.
Even if he knew that there were a large number of Lickers in Prison No. 1, would he still think that two to three days was too slow?
Two to three days? He would be thankful if he could complete the mission!
The members of the federal team who were listening to the conversation between the two big shots at the side all had the same thoughts.
They could not figure out Fang Heng's train of thought.
Fang Heng stroked his chin as if there was no one else around, thinking carefully.
He slowly took a few steps back and turned his head to look at the 'hills' of logs in the prison square.
A plan gradually formed in Fang Heng's mind.

Chapter 98: Hiring
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fang Heng raised his head and asked Chen Yu.
"The federation's elite teams are all equipped with pistols, right?"
"Uh, not all of them. Pistols are still very rare in the game at this stage. We only have 12 people equipped with them, and each person only has 15 bullets."
"That's enough. I have a plan. I'll have to trouble your team to do something for me this afternoon."
What? A plan?
A plan to get the magnetic card?
Fang Heng leaned over and whispered into Chen Yu's ear, "Help me move the logs later."
Move the logs?
Chen Yu looked at Fang Heng with a baffled expression.
What did the plan to kill the Lickers and move the logs have in common?
He felt that Fang Heng's train of thought was a little too out of the ordinary.
"Yes, move the logs first. Also, you'll need a little bit of skill when you move them."
As Fang Heng spoke, he took out a pen and paper and quickly drew a sketch on the paper in front of Chen Yu.
"How about this? Try to see if you can arrange the logs into such a shape. Then, use your imagination to think about it. Make sure that these few positions are as empty as possible."
Looking at the rough sketch that Fang Heng drew on the paper, Chen Yu was even more confused.
"Boss, are you…"
"Building a maze to play in?"
"Chen Yu." Fang Heng patted Chen Yu's shoulder to show his encouragement. "I believe in your ability. You can definitely do it."
…
Lickers were the strongest among the Tier 2 mutated zombies!
They were the strongest!
Their agility attribute was extremely high, their dodging ability was extremely strong and their physical defense was abnormally tough.
The most troublesome thing was that they also liked to appear in groups!
Even in the later stages of the game, when players encountered Lickers, they would run as fast as they could.
If they really couldn't run away, they would use their powerful long-range firepower to suppress them.
In order to completely destroy the Lickers in Prison No. 1, Fang Heng felt that the best way was probably to burn the building or directly blow it up.
However, if he did that, the magnetic card in the building would be destroyed and the mission would fail.
Therefore, he had to change his tactics.
Relying on the federation's toolmen alone wasn't enough.
Fang Heng already had a rough plan.
While Chen Yu was leading the federal team to move logs on the empty ground of the prison, he drove his truck to the camp of the Dark Knights next to a valley.
A wooden hut was built at the foot of the valley.
There was a sign hanging outside the wooden hut.
"Apocalypse Bar"
Although it was said to be a camp, it was actually just a wooden hut that had been converted into a bar.
Fang Heng walked into the wooden hut.
Inside the wooden hut, two or three NPC survivors were sitting around a table and discussing something in a low voice.
When they saw Fang Heng enter, they stopped in unison.
Behind the bar stood a tall, scantily dressed young woman.
Her exposed tan skin and curvy figure made Fang Heng look at her twice.
"Fang Heng? You're the newcomer who's been in the limelight recently."
Katarina took the initiative to wave at Fang Heng.
She poured a glass of wine and pushed it towards Fang Heng.
"Nice to meet you. I'm the person-in-charge here, Katarina. This is to celebrate our first meeting. This glass is on me."
"Thank you."
Fang Heng walked to the bar counter.
"Let me guess, you're here to receive a mission?"
Katarina moved her face in front of Fang Heng and winked at him.
"I have a lot of busy missions here. I was ranked bottom for the assessment for the previous two months. You should be able to help me, right?"
"Show me your mission. If it's convenient…"
Katarina waved her hand, and a list of missions appeared in front of Fang Heng.
Mission 1: Clear The Tier 2 zombies.
Difficulty: SS.
Reward: Dark Knights' honor points.
Mission 2: Explore the Meteorite Company's branch in the city.
Difficulty: SSS.
Reward: Dark Knights' merit points.
Mission 3: Search for clues related to the Meteorite Company's 'biological weapons' project (which can trigger subsequent missions).
Difficulty: SSS.
Reward: Dark Knights' merit points.
Mission 4: Protect important members of the Dark Knights.
Difficulty: SSS
Reward: Dark Knights' merit points.
Mission 4: Search for dangerous personnel-head of security of Meteorite Company.
Difficulty: SSS.
Reward: Dark Knights' merit points.
Task 5: Analysis of Alex's live samples…
Fang Heng looked at the densely packed mission pane and was greatly surprised.
The Dark Knights' missions and the apocalypse merchant camp's missions were of two extremes.
The lowest difficulty of the Dark Knights' mission was already SS-level.
No wonder the Dark Knights' entry criterion was so difficult.
Fang Heng thought to himself.
Katarina's beautiful eyes looked at Fang Heng. "How is it? Is there a mission that you're interested in?"
"What a coincidence. I'm going to kill the Licker later."
Fang Heng conveniently received the mission to collect the Tier 2 zombie samples and the Licker research mission.
[Hint: You've accepted the mission-clear the Tier 2 zombies.]
[Hint: You've accepted the mission-Licker research.]
Mission name: Clear out the Tier 2 zombies.
Difficulty: SS.
Mission requirements: Clear out at least 100 Tier 2 mutated zombies.
Mission time limit: 72 hours.
Mission name: Licker research.
Difficulty: SSS.
Mission requirements: Obtain samples of the Licker within the stipulated time limit (able to exceed mission completion.)
Mission time limit: 72 hours.
"You have 72 hours to complete the mission, good luck."
"There's one more thing, my survival camp is in trouble, I need to temporarily recruit a Dark Knights' helper."
"Of course you can, your current honor level is Level 7, you can use honor points to temporarily recruit."
"In addition, a Dark Knight elite mercenary can provide you with 24-hour help, if they unfortunately die in the process of the mission you will pay a large amount of compensation."
Fang Heng looked at the price list given by Katarina.
Temporarily recruiting a Dark Knight elite mercenary for 24 hours requires 300 honor points.
If it was equipped with a full set of weapons, it would cost a full 1000 honor points!
Moreover, during the temporary recruitment process, the mercenaries' weapons and ammunition consumption would further deplete the player's survival points.
The money for the ammunition was also on Fang Heng.
What a waste of money!
Fang Heng calculated for a moment. He had previously completed the related missions in Hope Town by an additional 41 times, and only then did he obtain 41,000 honor points.
"I need to recruit 20 fully armed Dark Knights' elites."
"Oh? Looks like you're preparing to do a big deal. I wish you good luck."
Katarina was surprised, and then her smile became even brighter.
[Hint: Your friendship with Katarina has increased.]
"Handsome, you have brought me a big deal. I will give you an extra discount for the damage of weapons…"
"When do you want them to gather at your shelter? We need some time to communicate, so we need at least three hours to gather."
"You can also set up other gathering points. If they are too far away, the gathering time will become normal."
"No need. Tomorrow morning, at eight o'clock."
"No problem.. They will report to your shelter on time."

Chapter 99: Maze
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chen Yu had no idea what Fang Heng was planning.
However, unlike the other federation players, he had confidence in Fang Heng.
Chen Yu would never forget that time he saw a zombie pit in Hope Town.
He had never seen such a monster grinding operation even in a federation textbook.
It only existed in the players' verbal attacks' on the forums.
Chen Yu brought the federal team back and forth to move logs for an entire afternoon.
They finally managed to follow Fang Heng's rough layout before the sun set. After a lot of imagination, they finally managed to come up with such a maze-like layout.
It was really too tiring!
Even the elite recruits of the federation who had undergone strict training in school were somewhat unable to endure it.
After eating dinner and taking a shower, they quickly went offline to rest.
Chen Yu also felt his back ache.
He wanted to say hello to Fang Heng before going offline, but strangely, that kid disappeared again.
"I hope nothing unexpected happens."
Chen Yu muttered and quickly went offline as well.
He still had to report the mission to his leaders.
Not long after Chen Yu and the others went offline, the zombie clones completed their exploration of Prison No. 2.
Materials and more materials were piled up messily in the basement shelter.
[Hint: Your zombie group has completed the exploration of Prison No. 2. You have found leek cans*27, instant noodles*43, stimulants*3, homemade knives*1, bandages*23, pistol bullets*4669, pistol (Beretta 92FS)*6, medical alcohol* 2…]
Fang Heng roughly glanced at the mission log.
Good stuff!
Guns! Bullets!
The team currently lacked these!
Fang Heng did not have the time to sort out the items collected. He only hurriedly stuffed the pistols and bullets into his backpack.
With a wave of his hand, he left the basement with his zombie clones.
After leaving the Dark Knights' camp during the day, he first went to the apocalypse merchant camp to buy a lot of nails and mechanical lubricants.
Then, he took a detour back to the abandoned mine and collected the iron nuggets that he had forged during this period of time.
When he returned to the prison square and saw the 'maze' that was formed by a large number of logs, Fang Heng chuckled.
"Chen Yu and the others are reliable."
Such a complicated maze building was impossible for the zombie clones to build.
Fang Heng looked around.
There were still a large number of logs left in the square.
He controlled the zombies to walk to another area of the square and began to do the next step.
"Next, I need to set up a trap. I need to rely on zombies to make it. I need to rebuild the assembly line to speed up the efficiency."
Fang Heng cheered up. He divided the zombie clones into three assembly lines.
One group of zombies made wooden spikes.
The other group of zombies started making wooden frames.
The last group of zombies made hemp ropes…
…
The next day, Chen Yu and the others finished their daily training outside the game and went online on time as usual.
They led the team to the canteen on the first floor of the prison. Chen Yu saw Fang Heng enjoying his breakfast.
"Fang Heng, we've finished building the passage."
Chen Yu sat cross-legged across from Fang Heng with his food.
"I ran into some problems during the actual operation. I couldn't find you yesterday, so I made some changes on my own."
"I saw it last night. It was perfect. You're amazing! I think you're a genius in architecture!"
"Would you like some chocolate milk?"
Fang Heng gave Chen Yu a thumbs up in his heart and handed him a packet of chocolate milk.
After seeing the building that Chen Yu had constructed, he even had the thought of poaching him.
To be able to expand and perfect the maze building that he had casually drawn, Chen Yu had a knack for architecture.
He was a talent!
Fang Heng winked at Chen Yu. "If you don't work for the federation anymore, you can consider coming to my place. I'll give you double the salary."
"Uh…"
Chen Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. He remembered that the mission his commander had given him was to recruit Fang Heng. Why did it seem like it was the other way now?
"Haha, I'm just joking."
Fang Heng took a sip of chocolate milk. "I'll make some more arrangements. After we finish eating, we'll start the battle plan. You assemble the federal team and come to the prison square. We'll eliminate that group of Lickers in one fell swoop and take back Prison No. 1."
"Okay!"
Chen Yu's expression turned serious.
He realized that Fang Heng wasn't joking.
Fang Heng was very confident.
However, how was he going to kill the zombies with a maze that looked like a joke?
Could it be that..
He was going to trap them in the maze and starve them to death?
Chen Yu scratched his head and threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind.
He would know when the time came!
He still chose to believe in Fang Heng's plan.
After dinner, Chen Yu brought the federal team to the prison square.
"This…"
Upon stepping into the prison square, Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
Not only was Chen Yu dumbfounded, but the federation soldiers behind him were also dumbfounded.
The prison square was completely different from the time they left last night!
What was with all those sentry towers that stood in the square?
Heavens!
Sentry towers!?
How did he build so many sentry towers in one night?
Chen Yu was extremely shocked.
Unlike the initial shelter, when building a building like a sentry tower, players would need to consume vitality points to build it, in addition to preparing sufficient construction materials.
Well, maybe materials were not an issue, based on the prison's stock of materials, perhaps Fang Heng really did not lack them.
But what about the construction period?
For a building like this, it would take four to five days for two players to complete the construction.
How did so many sentry towers appear in just one night?
Confused, Chen Yu looked up at the top of the sentry tower.
He immediately saw the NPC mercenaries guarding the sentry towers.
There were mercenaries?
Were they also recruited by Fang Heng?
"Chen Yu, you're here. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Chen Yu swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look at Fang Heng and Liao Bufan, who had jumped down from the pile of logs.
Liao Bufan was holding an empty oil barrel in his hand and casually threw it to the side.
"Fang Heng, did you set up all these sentry towers?"
As soon as he said this, Chen Yu immediately felt that this question was very stupid.
If it wasn't Fang Heng who set them up, could it be that he was the one who created a bug to set them?
"Yeah, I used a little trick."
Fang Heng answered vaguely.
The players from the federal team looked at Fang Heng as if they had seen a ghost.
"Don't mind these details. Let's talk about the plan to deal with the Lickers first."
Fang Heng was serious. He pointed at the few sentry towers around the maze.
"To put it simply, I will first think of a way to lure the Lickers out of Prison No. 1. When they enter the sentry towers' attack range, listen to my command and we will destroy them completely."
Chen Yu fell into deep thought.
He carefully considered the battle plan that Fang Heng had mentioned.
There were so many sentry towers…
It seemed feasible.
But…
Chen Yu couldn't help but look up at the few sentry towers.
How did Fang Heng manage to create so many sentry towers in one night?

Chapter 100: Luring the Enemies

"Since Lickers have high agility, it's not easy to hit them. So, wait until all of you enter the inner part of the sentry towers."
Fang Heng continued to explain the battle plan to Chen Yu and his team.
"By relying on the advantage of the sentry towers being high in the air, coupled with the additional long-range attack range and the drop rate of hits from the sentry towers, we should be able to deal with the Lickers trapped in the maze."
"Any other questions?"
A federation soldier raised his hand and asked, "Mr Fang Heng! I have a question!"
"Please speak."
"We don't have enough guns and ammunition. We can't guarantee our output."
"The prison will provide you with a portion of pistols and ammunition."
As Fang Heng spoke, he gave Liao Bufan a look.
Liao Bufan was already prepared. He ran to the side and pushed the wooden box in the corner over.
Opening the wooden box, there were more than ten pistols and a box full of pistol bullets.
These guns and bullets were all collected from Prison No. 2 and Prison No. 3.
"So many bullets?"
The members of the federal team were dazzled by this box of bullets.
They had once again witnessed the abundance of the prison.
The elite team of the federation had a 60% pistol equipped rate, but each of them only had 15 bullets.
Before coming here, they had thought that such equipment could be considered top-notch in the game.
After arriving at the prison, they realized that the bullets here could be used at will…
Chen Yu came back to his senses.
He looked at the sentry towers, then at the maze which he built yesterday, and finally at the bullets all over the ground.
Was this plan feasible?
Did he want to use the maze to trap the Lickers for a while longer?
Then, he could use the advantage of the sentry tower's high position to shoot from above?
In theory, it seemed feasible.
But…
Chen Yu had never seen anyone play in such a way in the apocalypse game.
"Chen Yu, what do you think of the plan?"
"It's… It's okay…"
Chen Yu was a little confused by Fang Heng's wild thinking.
"But, Fang Heng, this maze might be useful for ordinary zombies, but Lickers are good at climbing. If they encounter such terrain, they should be able to climb over it directly, right?"
Fang Heng nodded.
"That's right. So, I made some special arrangements. You'll find out later."
"Alright."
Chen Yu thought for a moment. If Fang Heng had already considered this…
Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any loopholes in this plan.
However, it was still weird.
"How about… We give it a try first?"
"Alright, let's give it a try first."
Fang Heng was very confident in his plan, but Chen Yu was right.
This was the first time they were using this tactic, so they had to give it a try for safety reasons.
They had to try to lure a few Lickers out first, so that even if something unexpected happened to their plan, they would be able to remedy it in time.
According to the plan, Chen Yu and the federal team members were divided into five groups and they each climbed up the sentry tower.
They took out their pistols and aimed at the exit of Prison No. 1.
A member of the federal team noticed something and pointed at the top of the 'maze'.
"Captain, look up."
"Hiss…"
Chen Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.
What the heck!
On the top of the log pile, there was a layer of wood and a layer of spike trap was added to the wood.
It was obvious that this was Fang Heng's doing!
Chen Yu secretly nodded in his heart.
A layer of wooden spike trap could indeed prevent the Licker from directly jumping over the obstacles from above.
However, it was not certain how effective it would be.
After all, that was a Licker!
Fang Heng and Liao Bufan walked to the iron gate of Prison No. 1 together, and he gestured to Chen Yu who was high up.
Chen Yu also gestured with his hand.
"Raise your spirits and get ready for battle."
"Yes! Leader!"
Fang Heng put down his hand and pushed open the iron gate.
The next task was to lure the enemies.
This task was a little difficult.
Fang Heng thought about it for a long time. He realized that the task of luring the Lickers could only be done by him.
Among all the players, he was the one with the highest agility!
In addition to his 15 points of perceptive ability and danger warning ability, he could buy as much time as possible to escape in advance.
If it were anyone else who went to lure the Licker, they would probably die on the way before they could even lure it out.
Opening the door of the passage, Liao Bufan quickly dodged to the side.
Fang Heng stood where he was. He glanced at the inner part of the prison and took out a bottle of drink from his pocket.
Item: Gatorade 2021 commemorative edition.
Description: After drinking it, you can increase your maximum movement speed by 20% and your vitality recovery speed by 20% within 20 minutes (you can only use it once within 48 hours).
Fang Heng gulped down the drink.
He had tested it when he met the Licker yesterday. He ran at full speed but was slightly slower than the Licker.
Now with this 20% increase in speed, the Licker should not be able to catch up with him.
Fang Heng held the shotgun in his hand and slowly moved forward.
He walked along the passage that he had previously walked through until he reached the entrance to the second floor.
Fang Heng was not in a hurry to go upstairs. Instead, he took out a yellow rubber duckling toy from his backpack.
He reached out and grabbed the rubber duckling's stomach.
He squeezed it lightly.
"Squeak!"
The toy duckling let out an ear-piercing screech.
"Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!!"
After pressing it several times, Fang Heng kept the duckling.
Lickers relied on sound to track their targets. At close range, they could even hear the heartbeat of their prey.
Therefore, if they directly used the sound source to attract the Lickers, they would be seen through very quickly.
They had taken the bait!
A moment later, Fang Heng heard the faint sound of friction coming from upstairs. At the same time, a sense of danger arose in his heart.
He turned around and ran!
Fang Heng ran forward with all his might.
His vitality points began to drop rapidly.
Fang Heng was very sure that the Lickers that were behind him were still chasing him.
The sense of danger behind him did not disappear. Instead, it became more and more intense!
"Chi Chi Chi!!"
The sound of the Lickers crawling against the wall behind him became more and more frequent!
Listening to the sounds, the number of Lickers chasing him this time was even more than the last time.
"This is troublesome."
The rubber ducking's cry was not controlled well.
It attracted too many Lickers at once!
Fang Heng had no choice. He didn't even turn his head and continued to run forward with all his might.
He finally reached the exit!
Fang Heng leapt out of the prison gate and immediately hid in the reserved maze gap on the right.
Liao Bufan quickly blocked the gap on the side, and the two continued to run into the distance.
After running for a few seconds, the first Licker came out of the prison building.
The Licker could pinpoint its location using sound and senses.
It moved extremely fast and immediately climbed up the wall made of logs after breaking out of the building.
Chen Yu followed Fang Heng's instructions and did not give the order to shoot before receiving his hand signal.
He was unusually nervous, and his finger pressed on the trigger of the pistol while staring intensely at the Licker.
Now it was time to find out if the maze worked!
