Chapter 101: Tower Defense Game
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As expected, the Licker did not follow the path of the maze!
At first, it crawled along the wall made of logs for a few meters. Soon, it climbed up, trying to climb over from above.
"Chi!!"
When it touched the wooden spike trap, several small wounds were scraped on the Licker's body.
However, the Licker continued to move forward quickly!
Carrying the damage from the spike trap, the Licker directly jumped over.
Another few rustling sounds could be heard.
Dozens of red shadows darted out of the prison building one after another!
Chen Yu instantly shuddered.
Oh no!
There were too many Lickers!
Although the team led by Chen Yu was not of a high level and lacked actual combat experience, they had all received professional training within the federation.
During the training, they had seen the Lickers' combat scenes countless times!
At this moment, they still felt their scalps go numb when they saw nearly 20 Lickers coming out from the maze!
The 20 Lickers followed the path created by their 'senior' and climbed over the maze before quickly rushing towards Fang Heng and Liao Bufan.
Chen Yu's heart sank.
Not good!
The damage to the Lickers caused by the spike trap was extremely limited!
The Lickers directly ignored the damage and forced their way in!
Their plan failed!
"Quick! Prepare to shoot! Protect Fang Heng!"
Chen Yu was about to give the order to shoot when he suddenly realized something. He stretched out his hand and signalled his members to stop shooting.
"Eh? What's going on?"
Why did the Lickers slow down?
Chen Yu revealed a shocked expression.
He noticed that a few Lickers that were climbing up the side of the log wall had accidentally slipped off the wall.
After a few consecutive attempts, most of the Lickers stopped climbing up the wall. Instead, they spent a lot of time and effort going around the maze.
Why?
What was going on?
Chen Yu was puzzled. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Fang Heng and Liao Bufan.
At this moment, Fang Heng and Liao Bufan had already run to the back and successfully climbed up a sentry tower not far away.
Chen Yu saw Liao Bufan holding a pistol and giving the Lickers who were circling the maze below the middle finger.
"Hehe, mechanical lubricant, isn't it cool? Have you never seen this thing before?"
Mechanical lubricant!
Chen Yu immediately understood.
So that's how it was!
They had smeared lubricant on the spikes above!
As the Lickers' limbs were covered in lubricant, their movement speed decreased slightly. They couldn't even stick to the wall and climb!
"Chen Yu! Do it!"
Hearing Fang Heng's shout, Chen Yu immediately came back to his senses and gave the order for the team to attack.
"Fire!"
"Bang! Bang Bang!"
The elite federation players hiding in the sentry towers raised their guns and fired at the same time.
Gunshots rang out loudly!
Bullets rained down on the ground.
The Lickers were extremely fast!
Relying on their powerful senses, they were able to flip back and forth in the narrow passage, dodging the bullets.
Even though the lubricant on the Lickers had slightly reduced their mobility and the sentry towers helped to increase their hit rate, the damage was still not enough!
Chen Yu was completely focused. Cold sweat dripped down from his cheeks, and a large area of his back was drenched in sweat.
The only thing he could count on now was the maze to slow down the Lickers' attack.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot.
Chen Yu was stunned to find that the Licker's head that he was trying to aim at exploded with a bang.
What was going on?
The Licker's head had been blown off!?
He turned around and looked at the sentry tower behind him.
An NPC was holding a pure black sniper rifle, aiming at the Licker below.
Sniper rifle?!
A terrifying sniper rifle!
At this stage of the game, there was someone who could use a sniper rifle?!
Taking a closer look, as many as five sniper rifles were poking out from the sentry towers!
NPC!
It was the Dark Knights' mercenaries!
Looking at the armband on the NPC's shoulder, the name flashed through Chen Yu's mind.
That's right!
At this stage of the game, the players' levels were very low.
And the requirement to use a sniper rifle was Level 10 gun mastery.
Within this server, the highest level players in the federation were still one-fifth away from Level 5 and needed to absorb nearly one-fifth of the evolution crystal fragments.
Other than players, only elite NPCs of the Dark Knights could have the ability to use a sniper rifle!
This meant that Fang Heng had already completed the Dark Knights' mission line?
To be able to mobilize so many elite Dark Knights meant that his level within the Dark Knights was extremely high!
Apart from that, he had to pay a large number of honor points for this.
The federation had only just received a mission related to the Dark Knights, and they were trying their best to seize the time to complete it.
Yet, not only had Fang Heng completed the mission, he even had a large number of honor points?
How did he do it?
Chen Yu could not understand it for a moment.
Ever since he came to the prison, he found that Fang Heng had more and more things that he could not understand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gunshots rang out in the square.
Chen Yu temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and turned his head to look at the prison square.
The power of a sniper rifle was much greater than a normal pistol!
Even though a sniper rifle was still unable to kill a Licker in one shot.
Unless it hit a vital point, a sniper rifle would need at least three shots to take out a Licker.
Moreover, there was a limit to its accuracy.
However, the members of the Dark Knights who controlled the sniper rifle were all elites!
Coupled with the bonus to their accuracy from the sentry tower, their accuracy was maintained at 80%.
The Lickers who were running around in the maze had nowhere to hide and were gradually dying under the sniper rifle's fire.
So it turned out that the Dark Knights were Fang Heng's killing move against these Lickers!
Their federal team was merely icing on the cake.
Since when did their federation elite team become a part of the numbers?
Compared to the elites of the Dark Knights…
Chen Yu felt a sense of inferiority. He could not help but turn around and look at the sentry tower where Fang Heng was.
Just how many secrets was Fang Heng hiding from them?
[Hint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited have killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained survival points*29, you have obtained a Licker sample*1. Current mission: Collect Licker sample completion rate: 2%. Current mission: Clear Tier 2 zombies completion rate: 1%.]
[Hint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited has killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained survival points*29, you have obtained a Licker…]
"Success."
Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the messages that were gradually appearing in the game log.
The plan was perfect.
The Lickers were slowed down by the maze that was built and fell under the attack of the sniper rifle.
On one side, Liao Bufan, who had been chased around for half a day, held a pistol in one hand while the other took out a bag of chocolates from his backpack and he started chewing on them.
"Sigh!"
He sighed and silently watched as the Lickers continued to die at the hands of the federation and the mercenaries. He then turned his head to look at Fang Heng.
"A survival game has been turned into a tower defense game. Boss, you're something!"

"Bang!"
The bullet accurately hit the Licker's brain.
[Hint: You have used a gun to deal critical damage to the Licker. You have gained gun experience points 35.]
[Hint: Your skill-gun mastery has been upgraded to Level 2.]
With a good start, the rest was much simpler.
Fang Heng even had the leisure to practice his marksmanship on the tower.
After they had cleaned up the Lickers, Fang Heng and Liao Bufan immediately climbed down from the sentry tower, closed the prison gate and checked the situation of the 'maze'.
After being devastated by the Lickers, many parts of the 'maze' were destroyed.
The spike trap built on the upper level only had about half of its durability left. The 'wall' made of logs was even forcefully dug out by the Lickers with their sharp claws, and they directly went through the big hole.
After repairing it, Liao Bufan climbed to the top and poured a new layer of lubricant on it.
Then, they were ready to lure another wave of monsters!
Until 1 pm, Fang Heng had lured five waves of Lickers back and forth.
"Bang!"
The last Licker trapped in the maze was shot in the head by an elite NPC of the Dark Knights!
[Hint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited have killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained 26 survival points.]
[Hint: You have obtained a Licker sample*1. Current mission-Licker sample collection completion rate: 202%. Current mission-clearing Tier 2 zombies completion rate: 100%.]
"It's about time."
Fang Heng had already circled the entire prison to ensure that most of the Lickers had been lured out and cleared out.
He had killed a total of 101 Lickers.
This was in line with Chen Yu's estimate of the number of Lickers.
Next, it was time to go to the second floor and find the magnetic card to complete the mission.
After working with Liao Bufan to finish repairing the maze for the last time, Fang Heng entered Prison No. 1 alone.
Following the main passageway, Fang Heng went all the way to the second floor and arrived at the door of the firearms room on the second floor.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the door of the firearms room was locked tightly.
Fang Heng took out a newly made small iron hammer and started to smash the door.
The iron door had a durability of 2000. Fang Heng spent some time and smashed it more than 50 times before he opened it.
He pushed the door open and entered.
The firearms room had long been looted. The gun cabinet was opened and was in a mess, and scattered bullets fell to the ground.
Fang Heng walked to the safe in the corner and opened it according to the password on the notebook.
"Click…"
There was a magnetic card and a piece of paper lying in the safe.
[Hint: You have obtained a backup magnetic card (Prison No. 507).]
Item: Backup magnetic card (Prison No. 507).
Description: This backup magnetic card has the highest level of authority in the prison. There was a note on its back saying, 'Emergency use only for special situations. Authorization from the Meteorite Company is required before use.'
"Authorization from Meteorite Company is required before use? Does Meteorite Company has more power than the director…"
Fang Heng muttered softly and picked up the piece of paper at the bottom of the magnetic card to check.
[Notification]
[Prison No. 507 has been authorized by the government to secretly cooperate with Meteorite Company. The basement of Prison No. 1 is forbidden to enter. In case of emergency, if you need to open the basement of Prison No. 1, you need to obtain authorization from the Meteorite Company and the director in advance. (This notification is confidential and it is strictly prohibited from being leaked).]
"Is this a hint that the basement of Prison No. 1 also has a secret research room of the Meteorite Company?"
Fang Heng put the note into his backpack.
He had been to the basement before when he was hunting monsters.
There was a passage there that was blocked by an iron gate.
According to this, the Lickers entrenched in Prison No. 1 most likely escaped from the underground secret laboratory.
Prison No. 507 was likely one of the sources of the apocalypse zombie virus outbreak.
It would be troublesome if there were still a large number of Lickers in the basement.
The Dark Knights' mercenaries were leaving at 8 o'clock tomorrow. They had to clean up Prison No. 1 before then.
They still needed to go to the basement and check it out.
Fang Heng made up his mind and grabbed his shotgun and went to the basement.
There was still a backup power supply in the basement.
Fang Heng returned to the iron door of the basement. He used the backup magnetic card that he had just obtained to verify it.
"Beep Beep Beep…"
"Verification successful!"
The iron door that blocked the front slowly rose up, revealing the passage behind.
Unlike what Fang Heng had expected, there were no Lickers in the passage.
He walked straight down the corridor.
At the end, there were two explosion-proof doors on the left and right sides.
The door on the left was left ajar, leaving only a small gap.
Fang Heng tried to push the door open to check.
"Hiss…"
Fang Heng sucked in a breath of cold air.
In the room, there were rows and rows of circular upright cultivation pods filled with Lickers.
Most of the cultivation pods had been damaged, and the green liquid that emitted a strange smell flowed all over the floor.
There were still many Lickers' corpses on the ground.
Most of them were strange-looking and had not fully developed.
It seemed that these were Lickers that had failed to be bred.
Fang Heng saw that several pods were still functioning, and several Lickers were still in the containers, their bodies twitching from time to time.
They looked like they were still in hibernation.
Fang Heng was worried that the Lickers would suddenly wake up, so he carefully looked around the room.
After finding that there were no valuable items, he left the room and closed the explosion-proof door.
The room on the left was used to cultivate Lickers, so the room on the right was most likely a secret research room.
Fang Heng tried to push the explosion-proof door on the right.
It couldn't be pushed open.
The door was locked.
There was also a magnetic card induction device beside the explosion-proof door.
Fang Heng tried to sweep the spare magnetic card in front of the induction device.
"Beep! Your identity has not been recognized!"
Eh? Unrecognised identity? Not this card?
Fang Heng was surprised.
The explosion-proof door had a durability of hundreds of thousands. It was not realistic to just rely on a hammer to smash it. It was more reliable to find another place to smash the wall.
Strange, this meant that the magnetic card to open the door was somewhere else?
While Fang Heng was puzzled, he suddenly saw a green light flashing above the explosion-proof door in front of him.
"Ka!"
The explosion-proof door opened!?
Fang Heng raised the shotgun in his hand vigilantly.
Then, he saw an excited face peeking out from the door.
It was actually a survivor?!
"That's great! I'm finally rescued! That's great!"
A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses was so excited that he was incoherent. He stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Quick! It's dangerous outside. Let's enter the laboratory first!"
Fang Heng stepped into the room and quickly looked around.
His guess was right. This was the secret laboratory established by the Meteorite Company.
The survivor immediately closed the explosion-proof door and locked it.
"I'm a Level 2 researcher from the Meteorite Company, Li Bo. Are you from the special operations team here to rescue me? I've been waiting for you guys for a long time!"
Li Bo had been trapped here for several months. Finally, he saw a living person!
This made him extremely excited.
"If you had come half a month later, the remaining food reserves would have been exhausted! I thought I was dead for sure!"
"When can we leave this place? When will the follow-up rescue team arrive?"
Li Bo looked at Fang Heng with anticipation.
He had been waiting for this savior for too long!
"No, I'm not from the special operations team, and I don't have any follow-up rescue team. If you must know, I just happened to pass by here."
Li Bo paused for a moment.
"Aren't you sent by the Meteorite Company to save me?"
"No."
Li Bo realized something and clenched his fist.
"What's the situation outside? Are the people outside infected with the zombie virus? Has the world fallen?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded.
Chapter 103: Recruit
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Sigh!"
Li Bo sighed.
He sat down on the ground with a dejected look.
Several game notifications flashed across the lower-left corner of Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: You have triggered a special mission-Meteorite Company employee.]
Mission name: Meteorite Company employee.
Mission description: You have met a Meteorite Company researcher during the apocalypse search. He has a lot of secrets related to Meteorite Company.
Mission requirement: You can try to hand him over to the apocalypse merchant or the Dark Knights, or you can try to recruit him as a member of your shelter.
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
He sat on the floor and handed Li Bo a bottle of coke.
"We meeting like this during an apocalypse is also a kind of fate. Would you mind telling me, what happened here?"
Li Bo took the coke and gulped a few mouthfuls before smiling bitterly.
"Thank you. I'm Li Bo, an employee of the notorious Meteorite Company."
[Hint: Your friendship with Li Bo has increased slightly.]
Having not spoken to his kind for a long time, Li Bo could no longer hold it in. He really needed to find someone to talk to.
Fang Heng listened quietly.
According to Li Bo, he had been recruited by Meteorite Company after graduation to participate in the biological research project related to the T-virus.
A few months ago, his team accepted a mission to enter the prison and use the strong prisoners in the prison to carry out live research on the T-virus.
Unexpectedly, a crisis broke out.
Li Bo took a deep breath and recalled the situation at that time. He was still frightened.
"I was in the laboratory at that time. Suddenly, a group of people ran into the laboratory. They were shouting loudly, saying that the biochemical crisis had broken out."
"They told me that there was a problem with the Lickers' cultivation pods. A large number of Lickers who were in the process of breeding escaped from the cultivation pods and attacked the researchers. The virus quickly spread out."
"I don't know why this happened either. Under normal circumstances, our laboratory would take strict measures to ensure safety."
"From then on, the team leader, a few other survivors and I hid in this laboratory and monitored the situation inside Prison No. 1 through external surveillance cameras."
Li Bo's expression was bitter.
"After that, the power went out in Prison No. 1, and the internal surveillance system also lost its effectiveness."
"More than a dozen of us were trapped here. After about a week, there were people trying to go outside to investigate. Some went out in batches, and some went out one by one."
"No one came back, and only the team leader and I were left in the laboratory."
"After a few months, we didn't receive any help."
"We guessed that the outside world might have already fallen to the apocalypse, and no one would come to rescue us anymore.."
"The team leader gradually couldn't stand the desperation, so he chose to commit suicide…"
[Hint: Your friendship with Li Bo has slightly increased.]
Fang Heng listened to Li Bo's explanation and thought about his next choice for the mission.
He knew very well that Li Bo, this NPC, was a special reward for this stage of the prison mission.
If he had used brute force, such as burning down the entire building or using explosives to blow up the building, then, Li Bo would also be blown to death in the building, and the reward would not be available.
Similarly, if the time dragged on, in another half a month, the remaining materials in the laboratory would also be exhausted.
Li Bo would not be able to last long under the state of hunger, and he would soon die.
Then, what should be done with him?
Li Bo was a researcher of the Meteorite Company, a special NPC.
If they handed him over to the Dark Knights, they would definitely get a lot of honor points.
If they let him stay with them, they could let him work in the shelter in the future.
Researchers in the game were very rare! They could conduct research on zombies and create some strange things.
Fang Heng had seen related content on the forums before.
However, supporting NPCs' research work also cost a lot of money. In the past, only large-scale player guilds and companies had the ability to recruit research NPCs.
Fang Heng thought for a moment and raised two fingers.
"You guessed right. The zombie virus has spread to the entire world. The entire world has been destroyed, and only a few humans are barely surviving."
"Now, you have two choices. First, I will take you out and hand you over to the Dark Knights."
Li Bo could not help but interrupt. "What is the Dark Knights?"
"An organization that is trying to save the apocalyptic world. The Dark Knights think that the Meteorite Company is the cause of the apocalypse."
"You have a lot of information related to the Meteorite Company. You will be very useful to them. If you cooperate, they will ensure your safety."
Hearing this, Li Bo's face turned pale, and he immediately waved his hand to refuse. "No, no, no, I'm not going there."
"Then you have a second choice. Join my shelter."
"Your shelter?" Li Bo looked suspiciously at Fang Heng. "You can protect me during the apocalypse?"
"Yes, I have the ability to eliminate the Lickers in the prison. Naturally, I have the ability to take care of your safety."
"Really?"
Li Bo looked at Fang Heng, somewhat doubting Fang Heng's ability.
He lowered his head and sighed heavily.
Li Bo knew that he had no other choice. Running out alone would only lead to death.
"Alright, I don't have a choice anyway. I'll join you."
"A smart choice. You're welcome to join."
Fang Heng smiled.
He could think of other ways to obtain the Dark Knights' honor points' mission. However, a researcher was very rare to come by, only one in ten thousand.
This choice was too easy.

Description: Chief researcher at Meteorite Company, awarded outstanding employee for three years in a row.
So awesome!?
An S-rated NPC!
Fang Heng roughly glanced at Li Bo's attribute status.
Non-mercenary NPCs were different from players. Their non-combat skill levels could often exceed the level of their characters.
However, Fang Heng was a little surprised that they were so much higher.
He didn't know who was more powerful, him or Qiu Yaokang.
Recruiting Li Bo into the shelter was the right choice!
Fang Heng had another plan in mind.
Judging from his skills, Li Bo seemed to have a deep understanding of Lickers.
When he was done with his work, would he be able to rebuild the underground laboratory in Prison No. 1?
He would see if he could get the Lickers to come out.
Maybe he could find a way to transform his zombie clone into a Licker?
The Licker was the strongest creature among the Tier 2 mutated zombies.
In fact, it was more of a threat to the players than the slow-moving vine zombie!
In a one-on-one fight, the vine zombie was no match for the Licker.
Li Bo noticed that Fang Heng was constantly sizing him up, and there was even some eagerness in his eyes..
He couldn't help shrinking his neck, feeling cold air coming out of his back.
Report chapter
Chapter 104: Second Basement
"Fang Heng, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just to be on the safe side, I need you to stay here for a while longer and wait for me to completely guarantee the safety of the prison building before leaving."
Fang Heng did not dare to gamble.
After all, Li Bo only had 3 vitality points and 3 agility points. Not only was his running speed slow, but his HP was also low.
If he accidentally met a Licker who slipped through the net when he left…
He would die!
"Okay, then I'll stay here for a while longer. You have to come and pick me up immediately."
Li Bo was quite afraid of death, so he didn't mind staying here for a while longer.
"By the way, you haven't been to the second basement of Prison No. 3, right?"
"Huh?" Fang Heng, who was about to leave, raised his eyebrows. He turned around and asked, "I'm about to go there to take a look. Do you know where it is?"
"Phew!"
Li Bo patted his chest and looked relieved.
"Fortunately, you didn't go there. Otherwise, it would have been cold."
"Why?"
"It's very dangerous there. We encountered an extremely rare individual mutation when we were conducting the Licker research."
"You mean Erita?"
"You've heard of him too?"
Li Bo was a little surprised. He explained from the beginning.
"You're right. It's Erita."
"Erita was originally a criminal. Because his physical fitness far exceeded that of an ordinary person, he underwent a special mutation during the evolution of a Licker."
"For Meteorite Company, Erita is of great research value. After he was infected with the virus, it was detected that he still possessed a part of his cognitive thinking ability."
"The company has been trying to research a way to completely control biological weapons. Having cognitive thinking ability is the foundation."
"Therefore, the team specially modified the second basement of Prison No. 3 and set up a special research department for Erita."
Fang Heng asked, "Then why can't I go in?"
"Some time ago, the prison was discovered to have been infiltrated. The company set up a special alarm device at Prison No. 3 for safety purposes."
"Once an outsider breaks into the second basement, it will immediately activate Erita's awakening."
"Special alarm? Is using a backup magnetic card to enter the second basement considered an invasion?"
"Yes, this is the method the company has adopted to prevent secrets from leaking out. Under extreme circumstances, to protect the information related to the 'Biological Weapon' project, just like three years ago, the company will choose to directly awaken Erita and cause a biochemical accident to directly destroy all evidence."
Fang Heng frowned.
"Erita is still in hibernation?"
"It should be."
After being trapped for so long, Li Bo was not sure.
"The power supply in the basement of Prison No. 3 has solar energy. As long as the nutrient solution in the cultivation pod is sufficient, it should be able to last for two to three years."
The mission seemed to have changed again.
According to the mission process that Chen Yu gave him earlier on when he got the magnetic card, he would be able to enter the basement of Prison No. 3.
At that time, the sleeping Erita would also be awakened.
The final mission would be to think of a way to kill Erita.
Now it sounded like Erita had been well controlled and was still in a dormant state.
It was probably because the predecessors of the other servers had accidentally killed Li Bo during the mission, or because it was too late to explore the basement and Li Bo had starved to death.
This caused them to trigger the alarm when they broke into the secret research room of Prison No. 3, waking up Erita.
Fang Heng touched his chin.
The unconscious Erita should be easier to deal with, right?
Maybe he could even complete the mission directly!
Fang Heng raised his head.
"Is there any way to directly enter the research room where Erita is without triggering the alarm?"
"You need to verify the authority of the researcher. In addition to the magnetic card needed to open the three iron gates, you also need to verify the researcher's iris."
Fang Heng understood.
Other than being the reward for this phase of the mission, Li Bo was also the 'key' to open the research room in Prison No. 3.
"Okay, after I completely clean up Prison No. 1, you will accompany me to the research room."
"Do we have to go? It's too dangerous there."
The corners of Li Bo's mouth curled into a bitter smile.
…
Fang Heng searched the prison building again in detail, breaking through all the rooms to confirm that there were no hidden Lickers.
After completely cleaning up the prison building, everyone began to modify the 'maze'.
When the maze was first designed, Fang Heng had already made plans to deal with Erita.
Therefore, he only needed to slightly change the entrance of the maze to the exit of Prison No. 3.
Finally, he will evacuate the NPCs in Prison No. 3.
All the members of the Dark Knights switched to armour-piercing bullets.
Chen Yu led the federal team to stand by in the sentry tower.
Everything was prepared to defeat Erita.
They had to kill Erita before 8 a.m. tomorrow!
When everything was ready, Fang Heng led Li Bo into the basement of Prison No. 3.
In front of the three iron gates, Fang Heng used the spare key to scan the instrument.
"Beep Beep Beep! Verification successful!"
The three iron gates in front opened one by one.
"Don't go in yet."
Li Bo pulled Fang Heng.
He walked to the device on the wall and pressed a few numbers on the password lock.
"Ka!"
The wall above the password lock opened, revealing an identification device.
Li Bo moved his face closer.
"Iris verification successful. Welcome back, Dr Li."
Li Bo heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Fang Heng. "Alright, you can go in now. Erita is inside."
"You're not going in?"
"Of course not!"
Li Bo shook his head as if it was a matter of course.
"This place is too dangerous. It's been so long. What if something unexpected happens and Erita wakes up early?"
Li Bo said with certainty.
"Fang Heng, I'm very grateful that you saved my life. I advise you not to go in. We don't have to risk our lives for it. Can't we just live well?"
"No, you have to go with us. The prison is our residence. We have to eliminate this threat. Otherwise, do you want to sleep on the street full of zombies?"
"Besides, only you know how to operate the test bench. What if I accidentally activate Erita?"
"But, but…"
"No 'buts'. Come in with me."
Li Bo hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he was dragged into the second basement by Fang Heng.
[Hint: Your friendship with Li Bo has decreased slightly.]
[Hint: Li Bo's loyalty has decreased by 1 point.]
Going down the stairs, the door of the second basement laboratory was tightly closed.
Pushing the door open, a gust of cold air blew into his face.
As soon as he entered, Fang Heng saw the tempered glass facing the door.
The tempered glass divided the laboratory into two.
On the other side of the glass was a large vertical cultivation pod.
The cultivation pod was four meters tall and had the company logo of 'Meteorite' engraved on it.
A burly human with a height of nearly three meters was quietly floating in the cultivation pod.
Fang Heng and Li Bo looked at each other.
"He's Erita."
Li Bo whispered.
He held his breath and carefully walked to the mechanical console at the side. He quickly entered a series of commands on the main control platform..
Report chapter
Chapter 105: Taking Samples
Li Bo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the results displayed on the screen.
"Phew, we are pretty lucky! Everything is fine with the equipment. Erita is in good condition and is still in hibernation mode."
Fang Heng also walked forward and observed Erita through the glass.
From its appearance, it looked more like a human than Alex.
"Fang Heng, take a look at this."
Li Bo was a little bolder. He handed a document to Fang Heng and continued to check the running state of the machine.
[Experimental observation summary report (March)]
Erita still had some thinking ability after being infected with the virus. It was determined that its intelligence was equivalent to that of a 2-3 year old child.
Affected by the T-virus and modified based on predators, Erita became very aggressive. It had a strong thirst for blood and harboured strong hostility toward humans. It could easily enter a berserk state.
Erita was selected as an experimental subject for the biological weapon project. The first phase of the experiment tried to modify its memory, input memory in it and control it to follow the orders of the Meteorite Company, but the result was not satisfactory.
The next phase of the experiment will use a more efficient control input mode.
The first half of the report was filled with descriptions and the second half of the report began to record all the research data on Erita from the beginning of the experiment to the end.
Even though most of the data was written in technical terms, Fang Heng still forced himself to read through the entire log.
"Biological weapon project…"
Fang Heng lowered his head and muttered to himself. He remembered seeing it in the Dark Knight's mission list.
[Hint: You have obtained Erita's experimental observation summary report (March).]
[Hint: Player has completed the third stage of the mission-exploring the second basement of the prison. You have obtained 500 survival points.]
[Hint: Player has triggered the fourth stage of the mission-execution.]
Mission name: Execution.
Mission description: After multiple explorations, you have discovered the secret research room of the Meteorite Company in the second basement. You have realized that this is the biological weapon that the Meteorite Company is currently researching-Erita. To ensure safety, please kill it.
Mission reward: Individual talent enhancement plan (unappraised) (Level: S)*1.
Here it comes!
The final phase of the mission!
As long as he killed Erita, he would be able to obtain the S-level talent enhancement plan!
Fang Heng's spirits were lifted as he raised his head to look at Erita, who was opposite the tempered glass.
The terrain in the underground research room was narrow and not suitable for combat.
He needed to think of a way to lure it into the maze outside to kill it easily.
"Fang Heng, I've checked thoroughly. There's no damage to the equipment. According to the current state of the remaining nutrient solution, it should be able to last for another five months."
Li Bo informed Fang Heng.
"Erita is very dangerous. I suggest that we find a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there's a problem with the power supply system and Erita wakes up, it'll be troublesome."
"Didn't you guys come up with any emergency measures during the research? For example, if Erita goes berserk, how will you all deal with it?"
"Yes, under normal circumstances, if Erita went berserk, we would inject poison into its body. The poison would cause it to become abnormally weak for some time."
"In addition, we also implanted a mini bomb in Erita's brain. In case it went out of control, as long as we detonated the bomb, Erita would be completely dead."
There was such a good thing?
"You can detonate the bomb and directly kill Erita?"
Li Bo shook his head.
"No, I can't do it. Only the team leader knows how to detonate the mini bomb. The team leader is already dead."
"Okay, what about injecting poison?"
"I can do that. Under normal circumstances, we also inject poison into Erita to make it less aggressive."
As Li Bo spoke, he began to type in the command in front of the console.
"Currently, there aren't many poison dosages left. I can still weaken it three to four times."
Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.
There was no way to kill Erita directly. Weakening it was good news.
Erita was going to be killed. This concerned whether he could obtain an S-level talent enhancement plan in the end.
However, before that, could he be greedy again?
Fang Heng quickly checked his backpack.
There were still two sample collectors inside.
Erita, the product of Meteorite Company's biological weapon project.
It was a Tier 4 mutated zombie just like Alex!
Fang Heng felt that the value of a live sample of Erita was even higher than Alex's!
The Dark Knights and Qiu Yaokang would be very interested in its sample!
By then, he could earn a huge amount of honor points from it!
Fang Heng turned his head to look at Li Bo.
"Is there any way to keep Erita unconscious and extract some live samples from him?"
"Extract live samples? Are you crazy?"
Li Bo was shocked by Fang Heng's idea. He rejected it without even thinking.
"No, once Erita wakes up from its coma…"
Fang Heng couldn't help but interrupt, "So you can do it, right?"
"In theory, Erita won't wake up immediately after a long period of dormancy. It will still sleep for a while after leaving the cultivation pod, about one to three hours."
Seeing that Fang Heng was tempted, Li Bo hurriedly added.
"But Erita has been modified by the T-virus and has the characteristics of a predator. It is very sensitive to the scent of humans. Once it senses a human approaching it, it will most likely wake up immediately."
"So a living person can't approach it?"
"It's not a big deal!"
"I will just let a dead person do it!"
Fang Heng pursed his lips, thinking that it was simple. Even a zombie clone could take a sample.
"Then let's begin. You can inject the remaining toxins into Erita's body, and then let it out of the cultivation pod."
Li Bo didn't make a move. He just looked at Fang Heng.
He thought that Fang Heng was a lunatic.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. I'm prepared. After closing the cultivation pod, go to the prison square and tell the people outside to prepare for battle."
"Alright, I've warned you. Don't blame me if you die."
Seeing that Fang Heng was not joking, Li Bo took a deep breath.
He carefully controlled the robotic arm and injected a blue liquid poison into the cultivation pod.
After injecting the poison, Eria's body twitched a few times in the cultivation pod before it quickly quieted down.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the liquid in the cultivation pod was drained.
"Alright, the poison has been injected into Erita's body. It will fall into a weakened state for some time."
Li Bo did not want to stay in this dangerous place for even a second.
"I'll take my leave first."
Fang Heng finally understood.
Li Bo, this NPC, was rather timid. He had already lost 1 loyalty point after forcing him to come to the laboratory. If he continued to force him to stay here, his loyalty point might continue to drop.
"Alright, you go first. I'll take care of the rest."
"Okay!"
Li Bo agreed and quickly ran for his life.
He didn't want to stay here and go crazy like Fang Heng.
But just as he turned around and tried to walk forward, Li Bo suddenly shivered.
"What is that?!"
Behind him, a zombie was staring at him.
Li Bo was so scared that his face turned pale.
However, the zombie ignored Li Bo. It strode past Li Bo and stopped right in front of Fang Heng.
Li Bo was stunned.
He looked at Fang Heng in horror..

"Shh."
Fang Heng made a silent gesture to Li Bo.
"This is my special ability. Don't say anything when you get out. Remember to keep it a secret for me."
Li Bo stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to say anything. He only nodded stiffly.
A storm had already stirred up in his heart!
Fang Heng had a special ability that could control zombies?!
This was the ability that the Meteorite Company had always dreamt of!
The ultimate goal of the biological weapon project was to create powerful zombies that could obey orders!
Li Bo shook his head.
From the initial confirmation that the world had been destroyed to seeing someone who could perfectly control zombies, Li Bo had encountered too many life shocks today.
He felt that he needed to calm down and process this information.
No matter what, his life was the most important thing.
However, as soon as Li Bo opened the door, he froze on the spot again.
He was so scared that his legs felt weak. He quickly put his hand on the wall and half of his body leaned against it.
In the corridor, about twenty zombies were lining up. They walked past him one by one, heading toward the secret laboratory.
He… he could control so many zombies at the same time?
…
Fang Heng stood by the door of the research room.
He controlled a few vine zombies to enter the glass room through a side door.
The vine zombies carefully opened the door of the cultivation pod.
A zombie clone walked up and pressed the live sample collector on Erita's thick arm.
"Crack!"
An extremely weak sound was heard.
Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly.
Erita was still in a quiet state.
A slow reading bar appeared above the zombie's head.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has finished collecting the sample of Erita.]
Success! Another round of greed!
Fang Heng controlled another zombie to continue.
The other zombie clone also raised the sample collector and pressed it on Erita's other arm.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has finished collecting the sample of Erita.]
After collecting the sample twice, Erita still showed no signs of waking up.
"It's a pity that there are no more live sample collectors. Otherwise, I could have taken a few more times…"
The zombie clone staggered back and sent the collected sample back to Fang Heng.
[Hint: You have obtained Erita's live sample*2.]
Item: A live sample of Erita.
Description: A live sample of Tier 4 mutated zombie, Erita. (Erita is one of the research products of Meteorite Company's biological weapon project. It has extremely high research value.) You can use this sample to exchange for a large number of survival points from the apocalypse merchant.
Fang Heng kept the live sample.
The next thing he needed to do was to change the target.
It was unrealistic to kill Erita here.
How could he lure it outside?
After all, there were many stairs in the passage, which were very difficult to manoeuvre.
Moreover, the risk was very high.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to the vine zombies behind him.
Got it!
"Maybe I can use them."
Fang Heng controlled more than ten vine zombies to enter the glass room together, surrounding the unconscious Erita.
"Chi… chi… chi…"
Dense vines started to entwine from the zombie clones.
The vines gradually extended toward Erita and wrapped around it.
A moment later, Erita was wrapped by the vines that grew out of the vine zombies.
To be safe, Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to wrap a few layers of vines around Erita's body.
"Almost done."
Fang Heng made a mental calculation then raised his hand.
The zombie clones received the order and pulled back the vines at the same time.
"Chi!"
The vines instantly tightened, forming a 'stretcher'.
Erita was lifted into the air by more than ten vine zombies.
"Done!" Fang Heng took the lead and ran out of the room, leading the way. He controlled the zombie vines to carry the unconscious Erita slowly forward.
Then, he let the vine zombies carry Erita to the hall on the first floor.
Fang Heng rummaged through his backpack and made a super-large wooden coffin.
"Hmm…"
Next, he only needed to put Erita in the coffin and bring it out of the building.
"Wait…"
Just as he was about to put Erita into the coffin, Fang Heng suddenly thought of something.
"Let's spice up a bit."
Fang Heng said to himself. Then, he controlled the zombie clones to tie two packets of small explosives he bought from the apocalypse merchant camp to Erita's head.
After that, the zombie clones put Erita into the coffin.
Then, they closed the lid and tied the coffin tightly with several ropes.
"Done!"
Fang Heng pulled up the other end of a few ropes and slowly extended them to the outside of the prison building.
…
Outside the building, Chen Yu and his team were standing guard in the sentry tower.
Before this morning, Chen Yu had never thought that the day would go so smoothly.
It only took them half a day to clear out all the Lickers in Prison No. 1!
How efficient was that!
Chen Yu originally thought that Fang Heng would temporarily stop after clearing out Prison No. 1. He would deal with the final Tier 4 boss after he made a plan.
He did not expect Fang Heng to continue clearing the prison buildings.
Less than an hour ago, Fang Heng told everyone to get ready for battle. He even brought an NPC survivor with him and ran in to investigate the situation of Erita.
Chen Yu felt that Fang Heng was getting a little impatient.
In less than three days, they had already cleared out two prison buildings.
Such efficiency was already ridiculous. Even the federation wouldn't be able to do it.
Chen Yu couldn't help but start to worry for Fang Heng.
After all, Erita was a Tier 4 mutated zombie. This kind of rough maze wouldn't be able to trap it. One punch from the giant zombie would be enough to break a hole.
"I hope nothing bad happens."
One of the federation members noticed the commotion in Prison No. 3 and reminded Chen Yu, "Captain, look, Fang Heng is coming out!"
Chen Yu's expression turned serious as he looked towards the entrance of Prison No. 3.
He saw Fang Heng walking out of the building alone.
Chen Yu immediately gave the team a signal.
"Everyone, be on alert! Erita is coming out soon!"
All the members of the team raised their pistols, their gazes focused on Fang Heng.
They noticed that there was a thick rope wrapped around Fang Heng's waist.
Fang Heng was dragging something with great effort, walking forward step by step.
After walking for a long distance, the brown wooden coffin on the other end of the rope was finally pulled out by Fang Heng from the building.
"Eh? A large coffin box?"
Liao Bufan was somewhat puzzled, thinking to himself, "What kind of trick is Big Brother playing?"
The elite soldiers of the federation were also puzzled as they maintained a state of vigilance.
Only after pulling the coffin to the maze passage outside Prison No. 3 did Fang Heng break the rope that was tied to his body.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng shook his sore shoulders and quickly left, climbing up the sentry tower that Chen Yu was in.
The coffin containing the Erita was too heavy.. If it wasn't for the 19 strength points, he really wouldn't be able to drag it by himself.
Report chapter
Chapter 107: That's It?
"What's going on? Is that Erita in the box? Did you pull Erita out from inside?"
Chen Yu had already guessed 70 to 80% of the situation.
Was there anything worth Fang Heng's effort to pull out of the building?
This big box was just nice to fit Erita inside.
However, Chen Yu was still confused.
This was strange.
How did the final boss end up in a coffin?
According to the information, the final boss-fighting version was not like this.
"Yeah, something happened and changed the mission process."
Fang Heng gave a simple explanation and looked down at the wooden box.
"There's also good news. I injected a toxin into Erita's body and weakened its strength."
"Anyway, Erita will wake up soon. We need to act as soon as possible."
"Alright!"
Chen Yu nodded, his face solemn.
Now, it was time to think about how to deal with Erita.
Not only did Fang Heng weaken the boss, but he also dragged the boss to the most suitable location for them to deal damage to Erita, giving them a lead in this battle.
It could be said that they already had the upper hand.
Even so, Chen Yu was still uncertain about this final boss battle.
A Tier 4 mutated zombie, capable of withstanding rocket launchers and destroying homes with its bare hands, was no joke.
Their greatest advantage should be the highest-level NPC mercenaries in the game.
The power of a sniper rifle was not to be underestimated.
Chen Yu was about to wave his hand to give the order but was stopped by Fang Heng.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer."
As Fang Heng spoke, he pressed the detonator of the small explosive pack in his hand.
Seeing the familiar remote control, Chen Yu was shocked and blurted out.
"You planted a bomb on Erita?"
"Of course."
Fang Heng chuckled and acted as if it was a matter of course.
"It's better to be prepared. The explosion will happen in five minutes. Be prepared."
"Boom!!!!"
When the five minutes were up, an explosion sounded in the prison square.
The coffin was blasted into pieces.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
The smoke and dust from the explosion temporarily blocked the players' line of sight.
Chen Yu stared at the centre of the explosion.
Regarding the final boss battle, the internal records of the federation were very detailed.
At that time, a certain large team even used an unconventional weapon like a rocket launcher to kill the final boss.
However, the effect of the rocket launcher could only be considered average. Moreover, when the boss battle started, it was already more than half a year after the server opened.
Now, it had not even been a month since the server opened…
A huge figure gradually emerged from the smoke and dust.
The unconscious Erita had completely woken up.
It was half-squatting on the ground, propping itself up with one of its fists.
Fresh blood continued to seep out from its festering and cracked skin.
It was injured!
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gave the order, "Fire!!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dense bullets landed on Erita's body.
Erita had no choice but to lower its head and the bullets landed on its huge body.
The Dark Knights had already changed to armor-piercing bullets.
An armor-piercing bullet would cost at least hundreds of survival points.
However, this kind of bullet was extremely effective against high-level mutated zombies!
"Chi! Chi Chi!"
The armor-piercing bullet directly hit Erita's body, and a few bullets even penetrated its body!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Chen Yu raised his small pistol and aimed at Erita's head, shooting continuously.
Taking advantage of Areta's weakened state, he tried his best to deplete its HP!
Unlike Alex, Erita's self-recovery speed was not that fast! By constantly depleting its HP, there was still a high chance of killing it!
Not only that! The maze could more or less trap it for some time.
The biggest output was the Dark Knights' elite NPCs! Their sniper rifles were the main output force!
Chen Yu coordinated the overall situation, constantly assessing the situation between the enemy and himself.
If he had no other choice, he could only use the majority against minority tactic to buy time for the NPCs!
For a moment, Chen Yu's mental state was extremely tense.
"Eh?"
The gunshots continued for half a minute, and Chen Yu suddenly frowned.
He noticed that Erita, who was propping itself up with a single fist, was gradually falling to the ground.
"Bang!!"
Erita fell heavily to the ground, raising a small cloud of dust.
Chen Yu was stunned.
He saw a notification flash across the lower right corner of his retina.
[Hint: Your team has killed a Tier 4 mutated zombie-Erita.]
[Hint: As the second player team to kill a Tier 4 mutated zombie in this world, you have received a random C-level skill boo*1 according to your team's contribution points.]
[Hint: Skill randomly selected…]
[Hint: You have received a skill book-hunting skill.]
"Eh?"
"What happened?"
"Erita died?"
"Died?"
"Did we win?"
A train of questions went past Chen Yu's mind. He stood there in a daze.
It was a strange feeling.
The other members of the federation's elite team had also seen the game notifications. They had even obtained a D-level skill book.
They all stopped their attacks and looked at Chen Yu.
"Eh? What happened?"
"It's over? We've already won?"
"Is there a mistake?"
"Isn't it a Tier 4 mutated creature? Why does it feel like it's inferior to a Licker?"
"That's it? That's it?"
Before coming to the prison, the higher-ups didn't seem to say that!
Didn't they say that Erita was an extremely dangerous Tier 4 zombie?
Didn't they say that if they weren't careful, they would be wiped out…
Why did they feel that the pressure and intensity weren't as great as when they were fighting the Lickers?
They had to be prepared to stay in the prison for at least a month, and they had to be prepared to suffer.
That was it?
It was over?
They could just pack up and go home?
From the looks of it, it had only been three days since they arrived at the prison.
Chen Yu was also at a loss.
After killing Erita, he had also obtained a C-level skill book.
Either way, this should be an extremely exciting thing.
But why didn't he feel any sense of accomplishment?
Moreover, when he thought of leaving the prison and returning to the Federation's resource points, Chen Yu felt a kind of reluctant emotion in his heart.
After all, the living conditions here were simply too good!
Chen Yu made a tactical gesture to the members of the Federation's elite team, announcing the end of the battle.
He silently withdrew his gun and turned his head to look at Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng, it's over just like that?"
"It's over, it's over."
Fang Heng casually replied as he silently thought in his heart.
"It had been laid out for so long and the ultimate goal was to crush the final boss! What else do you all expect?"
First, Erita's body was injected with three times the dosage of the weakened virus. Then, its head was detonated by a small bomb at close range.
Finally, there was the continuous output of the Dark Knights' armour-piercing bullets from the sniper rifle.
"It would be weird if it didn't die!"
Fang Heng opened the game log to observe.
[Hint: You have killed a Tier 4 mutated zombie, Erita.]
[Hint: You have obtained a Tier 3 evolution crystal.]
[Hint: As the second player team in this world to kill a Tier 4 mutated zombie, according to the contribution of the team, you have obtained the highest reward: a random B level skill book.]
Eh? There's a reward?
Fang Heng did not expect that the second team that killed a Tier 4 mutated zombie would also receive a reward.
However, when the team achieved the first-kill for the entire server, they would receive an A-level skill book reward. For the second time, they would only receive a B level skill book.
There was a huge gap between A-level and B-level!

[Hint: Random draw in progress…]
[Hint: You have obtained a skill book: basic stealth.]
Skill: Basic stealth.
Skill description 1: After learning the skill, the basic perception attribute increases by 1 passive point.
Skill description 2: This skill can be used actively. After using it, it can slightly conceal one's aura, making it difficult for enemies to detect it. (Players need to consume 1 vitality point every 30 seconds to maintain the stealth mode).
Skill description 3: This skill can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 20. For every level-up, the stealth effect will be slightly enhanced and an additional 0.4 basic perception attribute will be gained.]
Fang Heng was a little surprised.
"Good stuff!"
He did not expect that a B level skill could be so useful!
For Fang Heng himself, the effect of being able to conceal his aura was not that obvious. His biggest use was to increase the perception attribute of his character.
However, this active skill was worth it for the zombie clone!
The vitality of the zombie clone was unlimited!
In other words, this stealth skill would become a permanent passive skill!
The zombie clone equipped with the stealth skill permanently could save a lot of trouble.
Besides that, this skill book could be upgraded.
When he had time later, he could think of ways to continue upgrading this skill.
After all, it was a skill that he had obtained for free.
Fang Heng was already very satisfied with this. He patted the skill book on his head.
[Hint: You have learned the skill-basic stealth.]
"Uh, Fang Heng…"
Chen Yu scratched his head and said, "According to our agreement, we need to retrieve the corpse of Erita after its death."
"Okay, no problem."
Chen Yu waved his hand and signalled his team members to start moving the body.
"In addition, if we drag this out for too long, Erita's body might be affected. We need to return to the federation's resource point immediately."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for dinner to celebrate?"
Fang Heng was polite for a moment.
After all, without the help of Chen Yu and the others, this mission wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
He felt that Chen Yu was not bad, and their partnership was very pleasant.
"Uh… this…"
Thinking of the delicacies here, Chen Yu's throat rolled.
He was tempted.
"It's alright, maybe next time then, the mission is more important."
Fang Heng nodded and looked down at Erita's corpse.
"Alright then, bring something to eat on the way. Also, have you heard anything about the transportation of the wooden planks that we discussed last time?"
"I've already applied for it. It's not a problem for such a small matter."
"I'll check on it later. The commander must be very happy that you can complete the mission so quickly."
"Forget it. I was just about to log off and report the progress of the mission to the commander to help you claim the credit. I guarantee that the vehicle will arrive by tomorrow at the latest. You should prepare in advance."
"No problem!"
Fang Heng roughly calculated the wooden planks in the prison square in his mind, then raised his head and looked outside the prison.
"If it's tomorrow… looks like I'll have to spend the night making wooden planks…"
Outside the prison, Liu Yi and the other four company rookies were still desperately moving logs into the prison.
Because they knew that there was a special emergency mission inside the prison, they had piled up the logs outside the prison this time.
Because there were too many logs, there was already a circle of logs outside the prison's barbed wire fence, so the situation inside the prison could not be seen clearly from the outside.
Hearing the occasional gunshots coming from inside the prison building, Liu Yi looked back absentmindedly.
What special mission were team leader Fang Heng and the federation carrying out inside? Why was there such a huge commotion?
"Liu Yi! Hurry up! Don't be lazy, kid! It's all about performance!"
"I understand!"
Liu Yi waved his hand at his companion and gulped down a mouthful of chicken soup.
"Tomorrow, you will thank yourself for working hard today! Come on! Let's strive on!"
…
[Hint: You have completed the fourth stage of the mission-execution.]
[Hint: You have completed the Prison No. 507 mission. You have received the final reward-individual talent enhancement plan (unappraised) (Level: S)*1.]
Enhancement plan obtained!
A black scroll appeared in his palm.
Fang Heng was overjoyed.
"Proceed with the appraisal!"
[Hint: You have completed the appraisal by deducting 1,000 survival points. You have obtained the individual talent enhancement plan-zombie virus.]
Individual talent enhancement plan-zombie virus.
Enhancement plan level: S
Enhancement description: Collect relevant materials to complete the talent enhancement.
Enhancement effect description: Your zombie clone will have the ability to infect the enemy with a zombie virus. After attacking the enemy, there is a high chance that the enemy will be infected with a zombie virus (the zombie virus cannot infect non-living beings).
Fang Heng glanced at the enhancement plan.
He felt that this skill was slightly better than the previous S-level talent enhancement plan that he had obtained.
The zombie virus was equivalent to increasing the combat ability of the zombie clones against players.
At least in the early stages of the game, when dealing with players, the zombie virus was equivalent to adding a fatal buff effect!
From a strategic point of view in the later stages, the infection ability of the zombie virus could have unimaginable effects in other worlds.
If there was a chance to enter other worlds in the future, spreading the zombie virus in other worlds seemed to be a good way to play.
For example, in the Vampire Apocalypse.
He wondered what would happen if the vampires were infected with the zombie virus…
However, in the short term, the applicability of this skill book was not high.
Fang Heng was still waiting to gather three S-level enhancement plans to synthesize into an SSS-level talent enhancement plan, so he naturally had no interest in using it.
There was only one left.
The one from Phoenix Sound Gaming Company would be in his hands in two days!
When he thought of the SSS-level enhancement plan, Fang Heng could not help but feel excited. He conveniently stuffed the talent enhancement plan back into his backpack.
"Fang Heng!"
Fang Heng saw Chen Yu calling out to him and walked down the sentry tower.
Perhaps he was inspired by Fang Heng's coffin idea. Chen Yu and his team made another large wooden coffin.
They put the body of Erita into it and tied it up with ropes.
"Fang Heng… I'm sorry, there's something else I need to trouble you with."
"Can we negotiate and borrow your military truck? We didn't think we could get rid of the Erita so quickly. If we send the vehicle over now, we'll have to delay it until tomorrow."
Chen Yu was a little embarrassed and pointed at the huge wooden coffin.
"It's too big, we can't move it. We want to send Erita back to the resource point today. When the time comes, we'll give more performance points to Phoenix Sound Gaming Company as rent. Do you think this will work?"
"It's just a small matter, no problem."
Fang Heng casually threw the car keys to Chen Yu.
From the contact he had with the federation during this period, he was quite at ease with the federation.
Moreover, the federation had also agreed to help solve the delivery problem, so he did not need the truck for the time being.
"Thank you so much. In addition, I just went offline and communicated with the commander. I will return the truck before noon tomorrow. When the time comes, a transportation team will be sent over to collect the wooden planks."
"That's great." Fang Heng thought for a while, "Remember to bring more people over to load the goods. It's best to finish it all at once. It's also troublesome to go back and forth."
"Bring more?"
Chen Yu looked at the stacked wooden planks in the corner of the prison with some confusion.
"How many are you talking about?"
Fang Heng followed Chen Yu's gaze and looked at the wooden planks piled up not far away.
He looked at the remaining raw wood materials in the prison and made a rough calculation in his heart.
The 20,000 performance points were still not stable. It would not be good if something unfortunate happen.
There was only one S-level talent enhancement plan left, there was no need to take the risk.
He might as well aim for more points since he had enough logs.
"Hmm… about five times the amount here."
"What?"
Chen Yu was shocked by Fang Heng's random number.
"How much did you say? Five times?"

[Hint: During the time you are offline, your zombie group has completed the creation of the wooden plank. You have obtained wooden plank*26,123. You have obtained skill-basic production experience points 62,783.]

[Hint: Your skill-stealth has been upgraded to Level 10.]
[Hint: Your skill-stealth has been upgraded to the upper limit of your current level. Please upgrade your character level as soon as possible.]
The next day, Fang Heng woke up and returned to the game. He began counting the profits from last night's hack.
The zombie clones' hacks were extremely effective.
In just one night, the stealth skill that Fang Heng had learned yesterday had been upgraded to Level 10, with an additional 5 points to his basic perception attribute.
In addition, he had also produced 260,000 sets of wooden planks.
He would remove Grade 4 and Grade 5 high-quality wooden planks and keep them for his use. The remaining 210,000 wooden planks would be traded to the federation in exchange for company performance points!
If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to obtain the company's final S-level talent enhancement plan the next day. Three in one for SSS-level.
Fang Heng sat in front of the bonfire and roughly thought about the future development plan for the camp.
The wooden planks were enough for the time being. Next, he needed to focus on mining iron resources.
It had been half a month since the game started, and the zombie clones were still using wooden spears. It was really a little awkward.
He needed to upgrade his tools and weapons as soon as possible.
He changed the wooden hammer to the iron hammer, and the wooden spear to the iron spear.
Then, he would continue to carry out the forest eviction plan, bringing the entire forest area under his control…
Of course, this was only the initial plan. If his strength had a qualitative change after completing the SSS-level talent enhancement plan, he would also adjust his plan accordingly.
"I'll go back to the Dark Knights' camp first and submit the completed missions I have so far."
Fang Heng arranged for the zombie clones to go to the abandoned mine to collect iron ore. Then, he rode his motorcycle alone to the Dark Knights' camp.
Perhaps he came too early, the bar was empty.
Katarina, who was wearing cool clothes, was cleaning behind the bar counter.
Noticing Fang Heng's arrival, Katarina waved at him.
"Hi, Fang Heng, I heard from the mercenaries of the Dark Knights that the food in your camp seems to be very good. When will you let me experience it for free?"
"Of course! You're welcome anytime! You can enjoy the best VIP treatment."
Fang Heng said as he sat in front of the bar counter, "Oh right, I'm here to submit the mission."
"You completed the mission so quickly? David is right, you are indeed a powerful character."
"Let me see how you completed it."
[Hint: You completed the mission-clear the Tier 2 zombies, you received 1000 Dark Knights' honor points.]
[Hint: You have completed the mission-Licker research. You have received 3200 Dark Knights' honor points.]
[Hint: You can currently use 25,300 Dark Knights' honor points.]
[Hint: Your friendship with Katerina has slightly increased.]
Completing two missions would only reward him with 4000 honor points.
Compared to the 20,000 honor points that he had used to recruit NPC mercenaries, these two missions could only be considered as recouping some of his losses.
Fang Heng was not too satisfied.
Fortunately, he had obtained another batch of Erita's blood samples when he completed the mission.
Fang Heng pushed the live sample towards Katarina.
"Katarina, I obtained this with great difficulty. I think it should be very useful to our Dark Knights, right?"
Katarina took the live sample and examined it.
Soon, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and her tone became agitated.
"This is a live sample of a high-level mutated zombie? Where did you get it?"
"In prison. It's a long story."
Katarina chuckled.
She turned around and took out a bottle of old wine from the wine cabinet. Then, she personally poured a glass of wine for Fang Heng.
"This bottle is from the collection of '92. You can tell me about it slowly."
Fang Heng roughly told her about what happened in the prison.
Katarina listened carefully and wrote it down with a pen and paper. She nodded repeatedly.
"Fang Heng, your experience is very important to our research. I'll take this sample first. I'll report your findings to the Dark Knights."
"After you go back, our researchers will immediately start analyzing the sample. This may take some time. I'll inform you as soon as I have news."
"Thank you."
Fang Heng finished the wine in one gulp.
Then, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He thought that this time he would simply submit a live sample in exchange for a reward.
Unexpectedly, a large row of notifications suddenly appeared in the game log.
[Hint: You have submitted a live sample of Erita to the Dark Knights*1.]
[Hint: You have received a special ring mission of the Dark Knights: explore the Meteorite Company-clues related to the 'Biological Weapon' project.]
[Hint: You have completed the ring mission stages 1, 2, 3 and 4.]
[Hint: The accumulated rewards from Stage 1 to 4 of the ring mission…]
[Hint: Stage 5 of the ring mission will be delayed. Please contact the Dark Knights in 40 hours.]
[Hint: You have received 9000 honor points from the Dark Knights. (currently available honor points: 34,300).]
[Hint: Your Dark Knights honor level has been upgraded to Level 9 (Captain).]
[Hint: The maximum number of elite Dark Knights you can recruit has been increased to 35.]
[Hint: Your friendship with Katerina has been greatly increased ].
Fang Heng was a little confused by the long list of game logs.
He checked the information again in detail.
What a pleasant surprise!
He did not expect that the live blood sample of Erita could be so valuable!
Submitting a sample could actually directly trigger the ring mission! It could even directly complete all 4 stages!
This would lead to huge profits.
Not to mention the 9,000 honor points reward, he could also get a follow-up mission!
This sort of ring mission in the King of Gods' game was extremely time-consuming.
Correspondingly, the more rings he completed, the better the follow-up reward would be.
Of course, if one of the rings was not completed, there would be nothing left after that.
"In addition, the cost of the firearms and bullets of the Dark Knights' mercenary group this time is a total of 32,000 survival points. I'll calculate the lowest discount within your scope of authority. It only costs 160,000."
Katarina winked at Fang Heng. "You have to take care of my business in the future."
[Hint: You have deducted 160,000 survival points.]
[Hint: Your friendship with Katerina has slightly increased.]
Fang Heng's hard-earned survival points had once again bottomed out. He felt his heart ache.
"Next time, next time…"
"Giggle."
Katarina covered her mouth and giggled. She whispered into Fang Heng's ear.
"Congratulations on the upgrade in your honor level. I can help you get two more elites from the Dark Knights to protect your base. Do you need them?"
"Of course!"
Phew!
Fang Heng let out a deep breath.
He managed to recoup another part of his losses!

Chapter 110: Distribution of Rewards
Two days later, at the beginning of the month, Phoenix Sound Gaming Company held a regular meeting.
"President Qin has applied for a leave of absence from the board of directors during this period. I will be presiding over today's meeting."
Li Ru looked at Zhang Linhui, who was beside her.
"Secretary Zhang, please convey President Qin's instructions to everyone first."
"Alright. At this stage, our main target is still the Vampire Apocalypse. Recently, the Vampire Apocalypse has been jointly suppressed by a few big companies…"
Secretary Zhang said as he projected the PowerPoint slides.
This was Fang Heng's first time participating in such a boring company meeting.
He had no interest in the company's development. All he was thinking about was the S-level talent enhancement plan.
Pei Anan, who was sitting beside him, was more nervous than Fang Heng. Her body was tense and her palms were covered in sweat.
Fang Heng thought to himself, "Why are you more nervous than me?"
He comforted her, "Don't be nervous. We can get first place."
"Yes! We can do it!"
Pei Anan seemed to be cheering herself on as she said firmly.
In the past few days, other than the first night when the Team 12 rookies went back to their dorms to sleep, the next few days, they all slept on the floor in the company.
One by one, they fell asleep right after leaving the gaming cabin.
They must have risked their lives in the game!
Pei Anan had long regarded herself as a member of the team.
In the past two days, she had also been busy taking care of everyone's life outside the game.
After talking for more than an hour, Li Ru finally got to the main topic.
"The last topic is related to the task assignment of the S-level enhancement plan in the Zombie Apocalypse game."
"According to the previous decision, all twelve teams participating in the Zombie Apocalypse game will be assessed according to their overall performance for the first half of the year. The team that is ranked first will receive the S-level enhancement plan as a reward."
Li Ru paused for a moment and looked around at all the team leaders present.
"Some people think that this method is unfair, but I think that whoever can use this method to create greater value for the company will receive the support of the company…"
"Here it comes!"
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture and sit up straight.
This was the part that Fang Heng cared about the most but happened to be the part that the other Zombie Apocalypse team leaders didn't care about the most.
They listened to Li Ru's polite words and remained silent, feeling a little disdainful in their hearts.
The distribution of the S-level enhancement plan sounded very fair, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there were too many tricks in it.
In the past year, Team 7 received a lot of support from the company.
Not only were a lot of high-quality assignments given to Team 7, but Phoenix Sound Gaming Company also provided a lot of manpower, materials and resources to this team.
If they still couldn't get first…
The leader of Team 7, Dai Zhe, might as well die.
Everyone was very clear in their hearts.
Dai Zhe was a member of Li Ru's faction within the company. She had decided on this distribution plan to pave the way for Dai Zhe.
They could have a chance to fight for their rights when President Qin was still around.
Unfortunately, President Qin was considered to have failed in her decision during the Vampire Apocalypse, resulting in a huge loss for the company.
Over the past two days, there had been rumours that President Qin had been summoned back by her family.
Team leader Dai Zhe wore a smile on his face.
He was determined to get this S-level enhancement plan!
He had waited for three years for this plan!
Li Ru looked at Secretary Zhang expressionlessly.
"Secretary Zhang, has the performance statistics of the company's Zombie Apocalypse gaming teams for the first half of the year been completed?"
"Yes."
Zhang Linhui's expression was a little strange.
"The latest data we got today is being checked by the federation several times, so the statistics are slightly slower."
Zhang Linhui took out a document from the folder and handed it to Li Ru.
"President Li, please take a look first."
"No need, just announce the first place."
"Okay, according to the statistics, the Phoenix Sound Gaming Company's total performance evaluation for the first half of the year has a total of 12 teams. The highest-ranked team is Team 12, with a total of 35,440 performance points."
Wait!
Did they hear wrongly?
It wasn't Team 7?
Team 12?!
The room was eerily quiet for a moment.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Everyone present was shocked.
Then, they all turned their heads and looked at the Zombie Apocalypse Team 7 leader Dai Zhe at the same time.
What was going on?
Wasn't this mission supposed to pave the way for Dai Zhe?
How did Team 12 suddenly emerge at the top?
"Ahem."
Zhang Linhui was a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and continued reading.
"The second place goes to Team 7, with a total of 21,208 performance points."
Dai Zhe's face was pale.
He couldn't believe his ears.
Team 12? Fang Heng?
With a total of 35,000 performance points, this was almost double the performance of their team!
This is impossible, this is impossible…
Zhang Linhui turned his head and looked at Fang Heng, who was sitting in the corner.
Two days ago, he was laughing at this young man who overestimated himself!
How come a few days later, he…
There must be some mistake!
How did he get 30,000 points in such a short time!
"Secretary Zhang, wait a minute. Are you sure there's no problem with this number?"
Li Ru was also shocked by this number. She quickly calmed down and asked Secretary Zhang for confirmation.
"Yes, President Li. This is the latest data from the federation this morning. Because the number doesn't seem to be normal, I called the higher-ups of the federation to confirm it."
Zhang Linhui explained, "The federation is also very grateful to our Phoenix Sound Gaming Company for our assistance. They praise us for being very efficient and helping them a lot."
Hearing that, everyone started to lower their heads and discuss in low voices.
"I remembered Team 12 of the Zombie Apocalypse game. Isn't it the new team that was set up a few days ago?"
"Amazing. How many days has it been? How many achievements did they get?"
"Oh, I remember now. It was set up by President Qin herself."
"President Qin is amazing. She has sharp eyes."
"I remember his name is Fang Heng. He was the one who completed the federation's mission last time. At that time, no one dared to accept the mission as well. He accepted it and even completed it. He's a powerful character."
"Team 12… interesting…"
Li Ru listened to the whispers of the crowd. She maintained her calm composure on the surface but was tightly clenching the pen in her hand.
Qin Shuran!
It must be her doing behind the scenes!
A department that had just been established! A newcomer that had just been recruited into the company!
Within three days, they had received more performance points than the others who had accumulated for half a year.
Was this possible!
Just thinking about it made one realize that there was something fishy going on!
It must be Qin Shuran who had provided a large amount of support to Fang Heng's team from behind the scenes!
She had been summoned by her family, yet she still had to cause trouble for her!
Li Ru's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
"Yeah! Team leader Fang! First place! We've won! We're first place!"
Pei Anan excitedly waved her tightly clenched fist!
"I'll go and tell everyone this good news!"
She lowered her head and opened the WeChat Group.
Fang Heng nodded his head with a calm expression on his face.
The result was obvious.
To be on the safe side, he had raised the performance points to 25,000
In addition, that fellow, Chen Yu, was extremely well-known and had forcefully given him an additional 10,000 points as credit. He said that he was thanking Fang Heng for helping the federation to kill Erita in such a short period and had resolved the hidden danger.
"Looks like the first place has been decided."
The discussion stopped for a moment, and Gu Yijie, who was sitting on a chair and watching the show, stood up.
He did not like to participate in the internal struggles of the company, but he liked being the spectator.
Especially when he saw Li Ru, this old woman, making a fool of herself.
How interesting!
Gu Yijie looked at Fang Heng. "Then according to the agreement, the task of the S-level talent enhancement plan will be handed over to Fang Heng."
"Leader Fang Heng, congratulations."
"Wait a moment!"
Team 7 leader Dai Zhe's face was ashen as he stood up from his seat.
"Oh? Is there a problem, Leader Dai?"
Dai Zhe looked at Fang Heng angrily.
"No problem, I just want to remind leader Fang Heng."
"According to the rules, once the first-ranked team is unable to complete the mission within three days, then the mission will automatically be handed over to the second-ranked group, and so on. Moreover, this mission cannot be transferred to anyone else other than Team 12."
"Yes, indeed. Fang Heng, according to the rules that we have set in advance, you have three days to complete the mission."
"No problem."
Fang Heng curled his lips in disdain.
Could the mission that he had obtained allow him to fly?
