Chapter 111: The King of Gods' Gift-Sealed Ball
After the meeting ended, Dai Zhe entered Li Ru's office with a gloomy face.
After closing the door, Dai Zhe couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? Qin Shuran secretly provided such great help to Team 12, why didn't we receive any news beforehand?"
"I haven't asked you yet! What did you promise me? Even this can be snatched away by others!"
"How did I know he could raise his performance points to 30,000 in such a short period? I worked hard for half a year to only get 20,000!"
Li Ru was also holding a ball of anger in her heart.
After being ambushed by Qin Shuran, she felt as if she had eaten sh*t.
Li Ru took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Alright, that's enough complaining. There's no point in talking about it now. We still have a chance. Let's look forward, we still have a chance to redeem ourselves."
Dai Zhe closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
"Fortunately, I've asked around. All the members of Team 12 are in Zombie Apocalypse's new Server 8. It hasn't even been opened for half a month. He can't complete the mission."
After thinking for a while, Dai Zhe felt that this matter didn't have much of an impact.
"I'll wait for three days. Three days later, this mission will still fall to me."
"Hmph, idiot."
Li Ru snorted in disdain.
Dai Zhe's anger flared up again. He glared at Li Ru angrily.
"What did you say?"
"I said you're an idiot!"
"Qin Shuran spent so much effort and invested so much money to help that kid Fang Heng complete the mission. Do you think she wouldn't prepare in advance to help him complete the mission?"
"Do you think Qin Shuran is as stupid as you and couldn't even think of that?"
"This…"
Dai Zhe panicked when he heard that.
That's right!
Fang Heng couldn't complete such a high-difficulty mission alone.
But it was different with Qin Shuran!
Dai Zhe had spent three years on this mission!
He was about to get the reward, how could he not be anxious when someone snatched the peach? How could he not panic?
Dai Zhe completely lost his composure. He almost knelt and begged Li Ru.
"What should I do? What should I do? President Li, you have to help me this time! In the future, I will follow your lead in the company and listen to you."
Li Ru glanced at Dai Zhe.
"There is still a way. It depends on whether you are willing to do it or not."
"What do you mean?"
"Take advantage of President Qin's absence and kick him out of the company."
Dai Zhe was stunned.
"What's the reason?"
"Just make something up and say that there's something wrong with the company's accounts. Didn't you check this kid's background? He used to betray his gaming club and did fake matches in the past. It's not convenient for me to do this. You go and do it. Report him for illegal dealings and I'll approve it immediately."
"We have to be quick before he finishes the mission!"
Dai Zhe's eyes instantly lit up.
"Alright!"
Regardless of whether he had done it or not, he would first throw dirt on Fang Heng. By the time the latter tried to clear his name, the three days would have long passed!
…
He was only short of the final S-level talent enhancement plan!
The more he reached the end, the more anxious Fang Heng became.
He did not have the time to chat with Gu Yijie a little more. He hurriedly exchanged contact with him and immediately returned to the game.
Entering the King of Gods' space, Fang Heng received a game notification.
[Hint: You have received a delivery package from a high-dimensional game. You need to pay 60 King of Gods' points to obtain the package.]
[Hint: This package is a restricted type package. If it is not used within three days after delivery (regardless of whether the player receives it or not), it will be forcefully mailed back.]
It was a delivery package…
That guy was a bit of a fraud!
"Gu Yijie…"
That cynical face appeared in Fang Heng's mind again.
In the entire Phoenix Sound Gaming Company, he seemed to not care about anyone.
Moreover, this S-level talent enhancement plan mission was in his hands.
He was a strange person.
Fang Heng shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
[Hint: You have paid 60 King of Gods' points and obtained a special sphere*1.]
Fang Heng held a transparent crystal ball in his hand and studied it.
It was two times smaller than a basketball, and he could hold it with one hand.
[Special item: King of Gods' gift-Sealed ball]
Item description 1: You can inject any level of evolution crystals (including evolution crystal fragments) into the sealed ball. After the sealed ball has accumulated a certain amount of energy, it will automatically shatter, you can receive an item reward that is sealed inside.
Item description 2: Players cannot inject evolution crystals (including evolution crystal fragments) that are obtained through trading.
Item description 3: The sealed ball will reset once every 72 hours.
Item description 4: After the item is traded, it will reset once.
"This mission is simple!"
Fang Heng rubbed his hands together and became excited.
He thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be so simple!
Perhaps for ordinary players, receiving this mission out of the blue might be very troublesome.
After all, the mission restricted them from using the evolution crystals obtained from trading.
Players could only rely on killing zombies manually to earn the evolution crystals.
It was time-consuming and laborious!
Especially in the early stages of the game, this was an almost impossible mission.
However, Fang Heng was different.
He happened to have a lot of evolution crystals on him!
After all, Fang Heng's level was still stuck at Level 10. He even had a lot of complete evolution crystals on him.
Even the Tier 3 evolution crystals that he obtained from killing two Tier 4 mutated zombies were left in his inventory!
Fang Heng returned to the warehouse and took out the remaining evolution crystal fragments. Then, he injected them into the crystal ball.
[Hint: You have injected the evolution crystal fragment*1310.]
Buzz…
The originally transparent crystal ball gradually turned pink after absorbing the fragments.
"Eh? This amount of crystal fragments is not enough?"
Fang Heng was a little surprised. He licked his lips and injected all the complete evolution crystals in the warehouse.
[Hint: You have injected the complete evolution crystal*232.]
A complete evolution crystal was far more efficient than the ability of the evolution crystal fragment.
After injecting all of them, the crystal ball would be able to emit a soul-stirring scarlet!
"Still not enough?"
Fang Heng hesitated for a moment.
Currently, he still had 62 Tier 1 evolution crystals and 2 Tier 3 evolution crystals on hand.
After completing the S-level enhancement mission, he would need to rely on the Tier 1 evolution crystals to level up.
In comparison, he did not urgently need the Tier 3 evolution crystal right now.
Using the Tier 3 evolution crystal was something that would happen after Level 30 at the very least.
Instead of storing it in the warehouse and eating dust, he might as well directly sacrifice it!
In the future, when he levelled up, there would be plenty of opportunities to look for the Tier 3 evolution crystal.
Moreover, 62 Tier 1 evolution crystals might not be enough…
After thinking this through, Fang Heng tried to inject two Tier 3 evolution crystals into the crystal ball.
[Hint: You have injected a Tier 3 evolution crystal (purple)*2.]
The scarlet colour in the crystal ball instantly turned into a violent dark purple colour!
"Boom!!"
The next moment, Fang Heng noticed that the crystal ball in his hand suddenly burst into a purple flame.
It was burning fiercely!
This flame did not have any temperature.
Fang Heng could feel that the crystal ball in his hand was about to reach the critical point.
"Almost! Just a little bit more."
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
With no other choice, Fang Heng began to add the Tier 1 evolution crystals into the crystal ball one by one.
Until he added the 22nd crystal.
"Ka!"
A faint sound.
Fang Heng immediately stopped and stared at the ball in his hand.
A tiny crack appeared on the crystal ball!
"Kakakakaka…"
Along with the "Kaka" sound, the cracks spread throughout the entire ball in the blink of an eye!
"Bang!"
The burning crystal ball exploded in Fang Heng's hand..

[Hint: You have opened the sealed ball.]
[Hint: You have obtained an individual talent enhancement plan (unappraised) (Level: S) (Soul binding)*1.]
"I've got it!"
The crystal ball exploded and a black scroll floated in mid-air.
Fang Heng excitedly reached out to grab the scroll.
[Hint: Do you wish to spend 1000 survival points to complete the appraisal?]
Appraisal?
"No! I'm not going to appraise it anymore!"
After spending so much effort to gather three scrolls, he would fuse them into the highest SSS-level anyway.
To spend 1,000 points to throw into the water just to listen to a splash?
It was meaningless!
Fang Heng hurriedly put the three S-level enhancement plans into his backpack and immediately drove the military truck to Qiu Yaokang's villa.
…
In the back garden of the villa, Qiu Yaokang only lifted a corner of the manhole cover.
Under the manhole cover, he revealed a pair of eyes and looked at Fang Heng coldly.
"What's the matter?"
"Hurry up and open the door. According to the previous agreement, I've already gathered three sets of talent enhancement plans."
"You're very fast."
Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng.
He spoke slowly and helped push the manhole cover open.
"Change into protective suit first, then come to the laboratory."
Fang Heng quickly ran to the next room to put on a protective suit and followed Qiu Yaokang into the laboratory next door.
"Take it out."
Qiu Yaokang stood in front of an experimental table and reached out his hand to signal Fang Heng to put the enhancement plan on the table.
"Eh? This is…"
Seeing the black scroll that Fang Heng took out from his backpack, Qiu Yaokang's expression changed slightly and his eyes narrowed.
"S-level enhancement plan?"
He did not expect that Fang Heng would be able to obtain an S-level enhancement plan.
"Yes!"
"Yes, you're very impressive."
Qiu Yaokang reminded, "But you need to gather three identical S-level enhancement plans before you can fuse them."
"I know, there's more."
As Fang Heng spoke, he placed the second and third S-level enhancement plans on the experimental table one by one.
He did have three S-level enhancement plans?!
Looking at these three enhancement plans, Qiu Yaokang's eyes were a little dazed.
Because he was too shocked, he was momentarily stunned on the spot.
He raised his head and looked back and forth at the young man in front of him.
In such a short amount of time, he could gather three top-level enhancement plans?
How did he get his hands on them?
Previously, Qiu Yaokang had thought that Fang Heng had only come here with three A-level enhancement plans to fuse with.
He did not expect him to directly gather three S-level enhancement plans!
After a long while, Qiu Yaokang finally spoke slowly.
"There's something wrong with you."
"There's also something wrong with you!"
Fang Heng could not be bothered to waste time arguing with Qiu Yaokang.
He had an expectant look on his face and could not help but urge him.
"Don't stare at me. I have my ways to find the S-level enhancement plan. What do you think of these three plans? Can the fusion be successful?"
Qiu Yaokang shifted his gaze away from Fang Heng's face.
He picked up the scroll and placed it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with the enhancement plan."
As he said that, Qiu Yaokang closed his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on the three scrolls.
Fang Heng swallowed his saliva. He saw that Qiu Yaokang's hand was covered in a layer of red light.
The three scrolls on the experimental table gradually floated in the air under the illumination of the red light.
Swoosh!
In an instant, the three black scrolls fused.
Golden light burst out in the room!
The light was too dazzling. Fang Heng could not help but turn his head and extend his hand to cover his eyes.
After a few seconds, the light gradually dissipated.
Fang Heng turned his head to look at the scroll.
"Pa!"
The dark golden scroll that was suspended in mid-air fell on the experimental table.
Qiu Yaokang slowly opened his eyes.
His face was pale. He held his heart and his expression was extremely unnatural.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Qiu Yaokang waved his hand and did not say anything. He just pointed at the scroll on the table and motioned for Fang Heng to quickly check the scroll.
Fang Heng nodded. He could not help but reach out to grab the dark golden scroll on the table.
The moment he picked it up, a game notification appeared in the lower right corner of Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: You have completed the mission-collaborative research and development. Your favorability with Qiu Yaokang has increased slightly.]
[Hint: You have obtained an individual talent enhancement plan (unappraised) (Level: SSS) (Soul binding)*1.]
Good!
SSS-level!
Fusion was successful!
Fang Heng was extremely excited!
After expending so much effort, he had finally completed today!
[Hint: Do you wish to consume 5,000 survival points to activate this talent enhancement plan.]
"Activate!"
[Hint: Player has consumed 5,000 survival points to activate the talent enhancement plan…]
[Hint: Creating an SSS-level enhancement plan suitable for the player's talent attribute…]
[Hint: Successful. You can choose one of the following three enhancement plans.]
One out of the three enhancement plans?!
Unlike the previous S-level enhancement plan, the SSS-level enhancement plan could allow the player to choose one of the three enhancement plans!
One would get what one paid for. This way, the chance of getting trash would be greatly reduced!
Fang Heng clicked on the details of his talent and scanned through them one by one.
[Transformation plan 1: Efficient evolution.]
[Transformation plan 2: Individual strengthening of the zombie clone.]
[Transformation plan 3: Rapid growth.]
Eh? What happened after that? What about the details?
Nothing else?
He couldn't click on it anymore?
Just the name?
Looking at the three options, Fang Heng lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
The SSS-level gave him three options.
However, he could only see the name of the options, but not the details of the specific enhancement plan.
He had no choice. This was the game's setting.
He could only guess from the name alone.
First of all, he excluded the second option-the individual strengthening of the zombie clone.
He could guess from the name. The talent for individual strengthening for the zombie clone was most likely to enhance its strength.
If it was at SSS-level, Fang Heng guessed that this skill should have a great increase in the percentage of improving the ability of the zombie clone.
It was very strong, but it was not what he urgently needed.
The remaining two.
Efficient evolution and rapid growth…
What did evolution refer to?
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and thought carefully.
Thinking carefully, in the Hope Town Hospital, when ordinary zombies were infected by the corpse vines and became higher-level vine zombies, it should be considered an 'evolution'.
On the surface, it was very likely that the efficient evolution was related to this aspect.
However, it was still impossible to tell what the specific effect was.
There was a risk in choosing this option.
As for the last rapid growth…
Fang Heng's heart started beating rapidly.
"Growth refers to the number of zombies?"
He had a premonition that the growth referred to the number of zombie clones!
Currently, at Level 10, one could get 11 zombies after reaching Level 11.
As one levelled up, the percentage increase would gradually decrease in the later stages.
Even if one levelled up to Level 100, there would only be 5,050 zombies.
Growth!
If he chose this one, there was a high chance that he could get more zombies!
Fang Heng quickly made up his mind.
To him, the zombie clones were the foundation.
Other than the powerful combat ability of the zombie clones, the role of the zombie clones in the logistics in the apocalypse was extremely obvious!
He could help himself expand his forces quickly!
With more zombie clones, he could develop more efficiently!
If he didn't have rapid growth, Fang Heng might take a gamble on efficient evolution.
"I choose option three, rapid growth."
Report chapter
Chapter 113: Rapid Growth
[Hint: Player chooses option 3-rapid growth.]
[Hint: You have obtained an individual talent enhancement plan-rapid growth.]
Individual talent enhancement plan-rapid growth.
Enhancement plan level: SSS.
Enhancement description: SSS-level talent enhancement plan can be activated directly (no need to collect materials to complete the enhancement).
Enhancement effect 1: After the enhancement is completed, every time you level up, you will receive an additional 20% of the current number of zombie clones (decimals are rounded up, the number of proliferators does not count).
Enhancement effect 2: After the enhancement is completed, under a non-combat state, the player's zombie clone will complete rapid growth every six hours.
Enhancement effect 2 details: After the growth is completed, the player will receive a zombie clone proliferator. The attributes and skills of the proliferator will be the same as that of the zombie clone, after death, the proliferator cannot be resurrected (one zombie can have at most 3 proliferators at the same time, the proliferator cannot be regenerated).
Rapid growth!
Numbers!
He guessed it right! It is indeed the effect of increasing the number of zombies!
Moreover, it was different from the ordinary S-level enhancement plan. Apart from the fact that he didn't need to gather materials to complete the upgrade, the SSS-level enhancement plan also had two additional effects!
They were all related to the number of zombies!
Fang Heng was very satisfied.
He quickly did some mental calculations.
For example, he now had 55 zombie clones.
With every upgrade, he could get an additional 20% of the zombie clones.
55 times 0.2 meant that he would gain 11 zombie clones…
"Eh???"
Why does it look the same as before? Before leveling up, he had only gained 11 zombie clones when he reached Level 11.,.
"Huh…"
Fang Heng was in a good mood. He laughed at himself.
"Isn't this a coincidence?!"
According to the formula, the effect of rapid growth would get stronger with every upgrade in levels!
If he could reach Level 100, he would have at least hundreds of millions of zombie clones. Compared to the original peak of 5,050, the difference would be huge.
At the current stage, the additional effect of the SSS-level talent was a long-term investment.
The second effect was an immediate improvement!
Growth!
The clone could continue to grow clones!
In an ideal state, the next zombie clone could bring up to three proliferators!
The most direct result was that Fang Heng didn't do anything right now.
As long as he waited quietly for 18 hours, his zombie group would increase by three times!!!
A total of three times!
Fang Heng was extremely excited.
This also meant that his development efficiency in the game had increased by three times!
Although he had spent a lot of time collecting SSS-level talents, all of this was completely worth it!
Fang Heng was confident that he would soon make up for the lost time!
He clenched his fist lightly.
The scroll in Fang Heng's palm emitted a golden light.
It gradually melted into a ball of golden liquid and gradually fused into the back of Fang Heng's hand.
For a moment, the back of his hand became extremely hot!

"It's done…"
Fang Heng said in a low voice and opened his palm to take a look.
The back of his right hand, which seemed to have been burned by flames, had long returned to its original state. No changes could be seen.
"Cough, cough."
Qiu Yaokang turned around. He leaned against the wall with one hand and coughed a few times.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Fang Heng realized that Qiu Yaokang's condition didn't seem to be very good.
He remembered that Qiu Yaokang had said that his fusion skill had caused a lot of damage to his body.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Qiu Yaokang's face was cold. He threw away the tissue.
"The deal is done. I need to rest for a while. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
[Hint: Your friendship with Qiu Yaokang has slightly increased.]
This was the order for him to leave…
"The friendship has increased."
Fang Heng muttered in a low voice.
He was very worried about Qiu Yaokang's safety.
It wouldn't be a problem for him to leave him here alone, right? After all, he had suffered serious injuries.
Should he…
Hmm?
Wait!
Fang Heng suddenly thought of something.
The researcher Li Bo whom he had met in the prison's secret research room had already been tricked into entering the shelter.
So theoretically speaking, Qiu Yaokang, who was also an NPC, should be able to trick him into the shelter as well?!
Moreover, it was obvious that Qiu Yaokang's level was higher than Li Bo's.
It should be more difficult to trick him…
Fang Heng looked at Qiu Yaokang and started thinking.
He was thinking about the success rate of deceiving Qiu Yaokang into the shelter.
Who cares!
Try it!
"Qiu, you're in danger. What if you run into zombies here alone?"
"How about coming to my shelter? I have people there to protect you 24 hours a day, and professional chefs…"
"Your shelter?"
Qiu Yaokang shook his head, showing obvious disdain.
"No need, I'm not interested."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. The environment there is much better than yours, and…"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
Qiu Yaokang did not move and interrupted Fang Heng's words.
He turned around and rummaged through the laboratory cabinet behind him.
"Really? Don't you want to consider it? My basement used to be the Meteorite Company's secret research room."
Qiu Yaokang indeed showed a reaction to his words. He stopped what he was doing and slowly turned around. He looked at Fang Heng and slightly frowned.
"What did you say?"
"I'm not lying to you. That place used to be the Meteorite Company's training ground for Lickers. Lickers are the strongest hunters among the Tier 2 mutated zombies. You know that, right?"
Fang Heng knew Qiu Yaokang's personality, so he tried to entice him with his research.
Qiu Yaokang showed a very interesting expression.
Fang Heng deliberately kept him in suspense.
"Do you know that since the outbreak of the biochemical virus, a lot of Meteorite Company's research equipment is still there, and many of them are intact? Guess what else I found in the research laboratory?"
Report chapter
Chapter 114: Bluffing
Qiu Yaokang said coldly, "Speak!"
There was hope!
He was indeed interested!
Fang Heng was secretly happy, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Hehe, I'll tell you in secret, there are even three Lickers in the laboratory."
"I've checked. Everything is fine. The Lickers are in good condition. They haven't been affected at all!"
Fang Heng was still mumbling to himself.
Ever since Li Bo joined his shelter, the secret laboratory for breeding Lickers had been sealed.
Li Bo was a high-level NPC, but he was too afraid of death!
Even with the Dark Knights accompanying him, he did not dare to go into the laboratory for breeding Lickers.
Li Bo claimed that the biochemical virus outbreak in the prison started in the Lickers' breeding laboratory.
He believed that the cultivation pod housing the Licker might pose a major safety hazard.
If a Licker suddenly woke up and escaped from the room, people would die!
According to Li Bo, he rarely entered the room even before the biochemical virus outbreak.
Now that he has learned his lesson, he would not enter the breeding laboratory.
Fang Heng did not have a good solution to this.
Every time this matter was brought up, Li Bo's loyalty and favorability began to decline.
Therefore, the research project on the Lickers in the shelter was temporarily put on hold.
Fang Heng desperately needed a leader for the experiment team.
What a coincidence!
Qiu Yaokang was very good!
He was not afraid of death!
He could even stay in a villa in the wild to conduct his research!
"Licker…"
Qiu Yaokang muttered to himself and looked thoughtful.
"You mean the biological weapon research project?"
"Yes! You know about Meteorite Company's biological weapon research project? That's great!"
"Licker is an accessory of the biological weapon project. It is the product of a living body being injected with the T-virus."
"How is it? Are you interested?"
"If you come to my shelter, the Meteorite Company's research laboratory will be yours from now on! You will be in charge of it!"
Seeing that Qiu Yaokang was tempted, Fang Heng continued to beguile him.
"Oh right, there are still also living corpse vines for you to study, and they are high-level varieties that Meteorite Company has modified!"
"Corpse vines?!"
Hearing this, Qiu Yaokang couldn't help but clench his fists.
He was extremely hesitant.
Fang Heng threw out the last bargaining chip by throwing a small booklet to Qiu Yaokang.
"Come, take a look at this again."
[Erita's experimental observation summary report (March)]
Qiu Yaokang took the booklet that was thrown at him.
Seeing the title on the booklet, his breathing suddenly stopped.
Qiu Yaokang quickly opened the booklet and read it hurriedly.
His eyes never left the book. He didn't know anything about the outside world until he read the whole book till the end.
Fang Heng already knew Qiu Yaokang's temperament.
After he finished reading the whole book, he continued, "How is it? Do you want the live sample of Erita?"
Qiu Yaokang raised his head and looked straight at Fang Heng.
"You have it?"
"Hehe, of course. You know I'm greedy. How could I not bring something with me?"
Fang Heng said as he held the live sample of Erita in his hand.
"As long as you join my shelter, the sample of Erita can be provided to you for free so that you can conduct your research work."
"And I can promise you that after you join my shelter, I will do my best to help you with your experiment."
"I'm serious, would you consider my proposal?"
Qiu Yaokang fell silent.
To him, this temptation was too hard to resist!
At first, he was indeed not interested in Fang Heng's proposal at all.
But as Fang Heng started to add chips bit by bit…
And then Fang Heng took out the live sample of Erita!
Qiu Yaokang's psychological defense was almost broken!
His strong willpower made him gnash his teeth and say, "No! No."
Eh?
He didn't agree?
Fang Heng was very surprised.
Qiu Yaokang took a deep breath.
"Unless you can agree to one condition."
"Phew!"
Fang Heng heaved a huge sigh of relief.
He knew that the recruitment of Qiu Yaokang was already half successful!
Fang Heng was just afraid that he wouldn't mention the condition! As long as he mentioned it, everything would be easy to handle!
"Alright, tell me, what condition?"
Qiu Yaokang stared at Fang Heng with a burning gaze.
"You said that you can help me gather all kinds of research materials. I need you to prove this."
"No problem. How do you want me to prove it?"
"I stayed here for a reason."
Qiu Yaokang turned around again as he spoke.
He took out a map from the laboratory cabinet and laid it flat on the experiment table.
Fang Heng leaned over to check.
He saw that someone had drawn an obvious circle on the map with a red pen.
"Where is this?"
"An abandoned chemical factory."
Qiu Yaokang continued to explain to Fang Heng.
"Since the outbreak of the biochemical virus, a special mutated zombie has appeared in the drainage channel of the abandoned chemical factory."
"Have you heard of the infected area?"
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and thought, "This is not good."
The infected zone was an area within the game.
Once players stepped into the infected zone for more than 30 seconds, they would enter a state of infection.
The longer you stay, the higher the degree of infection.
This was a place that could only be explored in the later stages of the game.
There were various opinions about the infected zone in the forum, but there was still no exact explanation for how the infected zone was formed.
But one thing was certain.
The infected zone was related to Meteorite Company.
It was too difficult…
A recruitment mission had to be related to the infected zone?
Fang Heng felt bitter in his heart, but he also became serious.
Qiu Yaokang was very important. For the development of the shelter, he had to recruit him!
"Yes, I've heard of it."
"I've observed that the scope of the infected zone has been expanding recently."
"Yes, indeed."
Fang Heng knew clearly in his heart.
At the beginning of the game, the infected zone kept expanding. However, in the later stages, the expansion gradually stopped.
As for the specific reason, Fang Heng didn't know either.
"To prevent the infected zone from expanding endlessly, we have to go in and see what exactly happened inside and what caused the existence of the infected zone."
"The zombie found in the chemical factory is very unique. The poisonous gas it releases is very similar to the poisonous gas in the infected zone. I've been studying it recently."
"I think we can find a way to enter the infected zone by researching this zombie."
Hearing this, Fang Heng let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god!"
Qiu Yaokang was panting heavily.
He thought Qiu Yaokang wanted to go to the infected zone himself.
"Now, my research on mutated zombies has reached a critical stage. Unless you can guarantee that you can provide me with an endless supply of living zombies in the chemical factory for research, I won't agree to leave with you.."

Research on living zombies?
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and thought about the meaning behind Qiu Yaokang's words.
Did he mean to capture them alive?
While Fang Heng was thinking, he heard Qiu Yaokang's request.
"I need you to prove your ability. Go to the abandoned chemical factory and capture 10 mutated zombies for me."
Qiu Yaokang thought for a moment and added, "I want them alive, and you only have 24 hours."

Penalty for failure: Qiu Yaokang's friendliness will be greatly reduced.
"No problem, I don't think it will take 24 hours at all."
Fang Heng took a look at the mission.
In front of Qiu Yaokang, he took out all the remaining Tier 1 evolution crystals from his backpack.
If it was any other player, this mission would indeed be very difficult!
The poisonous zombie had the poisonous gas skill. Once it got close, players would breathe in the poisonous gas released by it, causing infection.
Not to mention catching it alive!
The difficulty was increased by several times!
However, Fang Heng was different.
He had his zombie clone!
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
One after another, the Tier 1 evolution crystals exploded in Fang Heng's hands.
A scarlet mist hovered around Fang Heng's palm and was gradually absorbed by his palm.
A row of game notifications quickly refreshed in the game log.
[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 11.]
[Hint: Affected by talent skill, you have gained 11 additional zombie clones.]
[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 12.]
[Hint: Affected by talent skill, you have gained 14 additional zombie clones.]
[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 13.]
[Hint: Affected by talent skill, you have gained 16 additional zombie clones.]
In an instant, magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng's feet.
Under Qiu Yaokang's surprised gaze, 41 zombie clones crawled out of the magic arrays in a short while.
More than half of the laboratory was filled with zombies.
"You…"
Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng in a daze.
Today, he had seen too many unbelievable things from Fang Heng
After a long while, he finally said, "Is this your natural ability?"
"Yes, isn't it cool?"
"Now, I'm going to kidnap people. Do you want to come with me to take a look?"
"I promise, it'll be quick."
…
An hour and a half later, outside the chemical factory.
Qiu Yaokang watched as the poisonous zombies were dragged out of the abandoned chemical factory one by one by the zombie clones.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Fang Heng walked over and patted Qiu Yaokang's shoulder.
He thought, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
Although the special skill of the poisonous zombie was troublesome, its attributes were at the bottom of all the mutated zombies.
Its poisonous gas skill did not affect the zombie clones.
Even if Fang Heng had just summoned a normal zombie that had not been infected by the corpse vines, he only needed to rely on the number of zombie clones, the high HP and the skill that could instantly recover 80% of one's HP.
Fang Heng could use his zombie clones to surround the poisonous zombies without dealing damage to themselves, and then tie them up with a rope!
If the mission required him to catch other Tier 1 mutated zombies, such as spider zombies, it would be troublesome.
In that case, Fang Heng felt that a normal zombie clone would not be able to handle it.
He would need more time to go back to the prison and complete the mission with the vine zombie.
After all, the vine zombie's vine entanglement skill was also an excellent way to capture zombies!
"This kind of mission is nothing. I have something even more powerful in my shelter. I can show you when we get back."
Something even more powerful?
Qiu Yaokang, who was in a state of shock, turned around.
He looked at Fang Heng.
"Really?"
"Tsk, when have I ever lied to you? How about it? Can you follow me back to the shelter now?"
"I admit my loss, but I need some time to tidy up my laboratory. There are many things here that are specially made. I need to bring them back with me."
Alright!
Fang Heng was overjoyed.
Not only did he swindle a high-value talent back, but he also got a whole bunch of lab equipment!
This business is going to make a killing!
"No problem. How long will it take? I'll bring a vehicle tomorrow to help you move the goods?"
"Yes, thank you. We will settle with tomorrow morning."
Qiu Yaokang said, turned around and headed back toward the direction of the villa.
[Hint: You have completed the mission ahead of schedule-Qiu Yaokang's test.]
[Hint: Your friendship with Qiu Yaokang has slightly increased.]
[Hint: Qiu Yaokang has joined your shelter.]
[Hint: Due to your outstanding performance, Qiu Yaokang's loyalty has increased.]
"What a cold guy…"
Fang Heng muttered to himself and excitedly opened the shelter panel to check Qiu Yaokang's character attributes.

Awakened talent skill: Mutation fusion
Talent skill level: S
Talent skill description: Can fuse three items of the same grade and type into a higher-level item. After using it, he will enter a weakened state for some time (cooldown time: 180 days).
"This… I've found a treasure…"
Fang Heng could not close his mouth.
S evaluation!
It was two levels higher than Li Bo's!
His various skills were also worthy of the S evaluation. They were extremely outstanding!
More importantly, Qiu Yaokang had awakened a special talent skill just like ordinary players!
In other words…
After Qiu Yaokang reached Level 10, could he also level up through the talent enhancement plan?
After all, other than the harsh conditions, Qiu Yaokang's talent skill was like a cheat in terms of support effects!
He had to think of a way to help Qiu Yaokang obtain an S-level talent enhancement plan.
It would be best if he could greatly reduce the cooldown time of his skills.
The cooldown time now required half a year, it was too long!
Also, he had to think of a way to quickly increase his loyalty and to prevent him from escaping…
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
[Hint: Your game cabin has received an emergency warning. Please choose a safe place to log off as soon as possible.]
"Eh? Emergency warning for the game cabin?"
Fang Heng was surprised.
What was going on?
He had been in Phoenix Sound Gaming Company for so long, but he had never encountered such a situation.
Fang Heng frowned and waved his hand to signal the zombie clones to return to the prison shelter with the mutated zombies tied up.
"There might be trouble. I should go offline and take a look."
Fang Heng thought and hurried back to Qiu Yaokang's villa.

Chapter 116: Cover up
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Phoenix Sound Gaming Company.
Dai Zhe led a group of people and stormed into Team 12's office.
"Where's team leader Fang? We have something important to talk to him
about."
Pei Anan stepped forward to stop the intruders.
Team leader Fang is still in the game. Please wait a moment, Ill contact team
leader Fang
"No need."
Dai Zhe gave a signal to a Team 7 employee behind him.
That person quickly walked past Pei Anan and pressed the emergency button
for all the game cabins.
"What are you guys trying to do? Team leader Fang is still in the game."
"It's an emergency. There are some things I'd like to ask team leader Fang
about."
Dai Zhe looked around the office of Team 12.
He felt even more disdain in his heart.
Team 12 didn't even have a few workstations, yet they could still complete a
large assignment of 350,000 points?
"We discovered that the large amount of money that was leaked out of the
company was related to Team 12. The company didn't have any records of the
specific use of the money, so we came to ask team leader Fang about the use of
the money."
Pei Anan was surprised.
"What money? Team 12 never received any money from the company. Did you
guys make a mistake somewhere?
Liu Yi and the other rookies received an emergency notification from the game
and came out of the game cabin one after another.
Hearing Pei Anan's explanation, the rookies were also puzzled.
The team leader was corrupt? Was he joking?
The team leader had rarely left the company in the past few days!
He was in the game almost 24 hours a day!
Liu Yi immediately figured out that something was wrong
"What money? Our Team 12 has always been in the game. How do you think we receive money?
"You're from Team 7, right? Are you jealous of our Team 12?
Dai Zhe shook his head.
This has nothing to do with my position. I'm here on behalf of the company.
You can ask team leader Fang Heng about the specific situation."
As the few of them were arguing, Fang Heng's game cabin was opened.
Before Fang Heng could come out of the game cabin, he heard the argument
outside.
Team leader Fang, I'm sorry to disturb your game. I need you to give mea
reasonable explanation."
Explanation? What explanation?
Fang Heng looked at team leader Dai Zhe in front of him, his face full of
confusion.
Liu Yi could not help but beat him to it. "Team leader Fang, they're slandering
you. They're accusing you of embezzling the company's funds."
Dai Zhe looked at Fang Heng, maintaining a smile the en
He was already prepared to deal with any situation before coming here.
This was his last chance to regain his S-level talent enhancement plan!
Team leader Fang Heng, please come with us. If there are any problems, just
provide us with clear explanations. The company will give you a chance to
explain."
Fang Heng's gaze shifted to Dai Zhe.
Previously, when he was exchanging contact with Gu Yijie, Gu Yijie had warned
him to be careful of the people from the company.
At that time, Fang Heng was only thinking about completing the mission and
did not take Gu Yijie's words to heart.
Fang Heng sighed in his heart. He had already understood everything.
Forget it.
He was not bothered to argue.
It was meaningless and a waste of time.
In any case, his reputation in the past had always been bad.
Empty words. If others said he's corrupt, then so be it.
With the S-level talent plan already in his hands, there was no point in
continuing to stay here.
The game shelter was still waiting for him to develop, so what was the point of
staying in the company and arguing with these people?
"Also, we have to take the office items with us for investigation."
Dai Zhe said and waved to the employees behind him.
"Hey! Don't move! This is our team's stuff!
"T'm calling you! Don't touch them with your dirty hands!"
"What do you mean by your team? This belongs to the company! Get out of my
way
Liu Yi's face was flushed red as he said angrily, "I think you're using your
official position to settle a personal vendetta!
This is a decision made by the company's board of directors. Please
cooperate!
Dai Zhe laughed coldly in his heart.
Make a scene! It was best to make a scene! The bigger the scene, the better! It
was best to make a scene!
The more they fought, the less time Fang Heng had to complete the mission in
the game!
Seeing that both parties were about to starta fight, Fang Heng felt his head
hurt even more. He waved his hand.
"Okay, stop fighting. The things are all new and haven't been dismantled. They
can take them away if they want to."
Dai Zhe became vigilant.
He felt that Fang Heng was even more difficult to deal with since he was so
cooperative.
On the surface, Dai Zhe still maintained his politeness.
"Team leader Fang, please follow us to the conference room upstairs for a few
words."
"There's no need. I'll resign."
For a moment, the entire office fell silent.
Everyone looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
Dai Zhe's face was filled with disbelief.
Resign?
Dai Zhe suddenly felt extremely uneasy. He hurriedly took two steps forward to
block Fang Heng who was about to leave.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Dai Zhe.
"Move aside."
For some reason, when he met Fang Heng's gaze, Dai Zhe felt suppressed.
He composed himself and said, "Team leader Fang, why are you in such a hurry
to leave? Don't be rash. Even if you resign, you still need to go through
President Li's approval, right?
"You said that I embezzled the company's funds. Do you have evidence?"
"I just said that there are some problems with your accounts that need to be
verified.
"If you have evidence, you are welcome to report it to the police at any time.
This has nothing to do with my resignation. I still have things to do, so I'll take
my leave first."
After saying that, under everyone's gaze, Fang Heng strode out of the office.
The atmosphere in the office was a little awkward for a moment.
A member from Team 7 curled his lips. "I think he's feeling guilty. Otherwise,
why would he resign?"
"Shut up!"
Dai Zhe glared at him.
"Get to work!
Turning his back, a cold smile appeared on Dai Zhe's lips.
Did he leave?
That's for the best!
He did not know what kind of tricks Fang Heng was playing.
But once he left, he would never be able to come back!
That's right!
The S-level talent enhancement plan!
He needed to contact Gu Yijie quickly and get him to retrieve the plan
immediately!
Dai Zhe could not help but walk quickly to the end of the corridor outside the
office and dialed Gu Yijie's phone number.
"Hello? Brother Jie?"
"Sorry to bother you, it's about Fang Heng. He just resigned from the
company.
"No, it has nothing to do with me. He resigned on his initiative. I was also
shocked. So many people are watching from the side, you can't spout
nonsense."
"Yes, yes, yes. According to the company's rules, theS-level enhancement plan
that he obtained from the company must be returned immediately."
"Can't do it? Why can't you do it?"
"What did you say? He has already completed it?"
Dai Zhe's face was ashen. He almost couldn't catch his breath.
Completed it?!
It had only been a few hours?
Fang Heng had already completed the mission?
So he had just chosen to resign?!
But…
Why was it so fast?
No! That's not right! Gu Yijie must be lying to him!
They must be playing tricks!
But…
Why was it so fast?
No! That's not right! Gu Yijie must be lying to him!
They must be playing tricks!
After leaving Phoenix Sound Gaming Company, Fang Heng called a taxi back to
the house.
After some thought, he sent a message to Xia Xi.
Fang Heng: I resigned.
Xia Xi: Ow!
Fang Heng: You seem to be in a good mood?
Xia Xi: Uh-huh!
Fang Heng: Aren't you going to ask me why I quit?
Xia Xi: Because I know.
Fang Heng:?
Xia Xi: Two days ago, the people of the federation restarted their investigation
on you.
Xia Xi: I asked someone to investigate the reason behind it.
Xia Xi: You're doing so well in the game, so naturally you don't have to work for
others.
Xia Xi: Don't worry, when the federation investigated you, I helped you cover
up the traces. They couldn't find anything.
Xia Xi: How should you thank me? Also, when will you return the meal you owe
me?
Fang Heng held his phone.
He entered it several times and repeated it several times to delete the contents.
Cover up the traces?
What traces did he need Xia Xi to help cover up?
For some reason, Fang Heng felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Fang Heng: Next time, next time.
Xia Xi: You're avoiding me, aren't you.
Xia Xi: Come on, let bygones be bygones. Don't think about it. Let's start over.
Fang Heng: Okay, thank you.

Chapter 117: Ouroboros
Transtator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor Nyoi-Bo Studio
After opening the door, Fang Heng returned to the dilapidated rental house.
Leaving Phoenix Sound Gaming Company was part of Fang Heng's plan.
Next, he could devote 100% of his energy to the game.
To become the overlord of the game in the future! To become a landlord!
Fang Heng still remembered his dream when he first entered the game.
He would build the biggest and best shelter in the game, then he could earn
tens of billions a day just by collecting rent!
He would become the boss.
Wasn't this better than staying in the company?
Fang Heng cheered up.
For the time being, the in-game development goal was still the same: to
accelerate expansion.
There was no hurry to make money. He still needed to wait for the shelter to
expand to a certain extent before..
"Ding…
His phone rang.
Fang Heng picked up the phone.
It was Pei Anan.
"Hello? Team leader Fang? Are you okay?
Tm fine."
Fang Heng held the phone in one hand and sat back down on the sofa. "Thank
you for your concern. Tm fine."
"Team leader Fang, I heard that they are going to deduct your performance
bonus. Quickly contact President Qin.
Fang Heng frowned.
He really didn't care about this bit of money.
However, he was still a little unhappy that he had worked for nothing.
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Yi's voice took over on the other end of the
phone.
He was furious.
Team leader Fang, those b"stards from Phoenix Sound Team 7! They are too
inhuman
You worked so hard for the company and didn't sleep for a few days and
nights, yet they still took away all the documents from Team 12 to be sent for
investigation. They are too much!
I was blind when I went back to that stupid company!"
"Leader Fang, you should come back first. We've already gone to look for
President Qin. She ll help us get justice. Please don't be rash."
Ahem
Fang Heng coughed lightly.
"Liu Yi, why don't you come work for me? Ill pay you double your salary."
Fang Heng had the idea of poaching him.
Relying on the zombie clones alone had many disadvantages.
Especially when transporting materials, zombies moved to0 slowly! Their
efficiency was too low!
If he went out to look for people again, not only would it be risky, it would also
be troublesome.
At least Fang Heng was familiar with Liu Yi and the others.
Fang Heng felt that Liu Yi and the other rookies were all very qualified
toolmen'!
"Ah?"
Liu Yi, who was in a rage, was stunned.
He stopped short for a moment.
He did not expect Fang Heng to turn around and poach him.
"Think about it carefully. You and the rest of Team 12 should also talk about it.
If you're interested, you can send me a message or look for me in the game"
"I still have something to do. Let's talk again next time."
After Fang Heng spoke, he hung up the phone.
His gaze was focused on the photo on the wall opposite the sofa.
His expression was solemn.
In the photo, Fang Heng hugged the trophy with an arrogant expression
Fang Heng slowly stood up and approached the photo step by step.
Until he stood in front of the photo frame.
"Something's not right.
Fang Heng muttered softly.
This photo frame has been frequently moved by people!
Why didn't he notice it before, but only today?
It must be that his perception attribute in the game had affected reality!
Fang Heng had noticed it before.
As his perception attribute in the game had increased to 20 points, which was
four times higher than before, he could sense the subtle changes in the
surrounding environment.
"Ka."
Fang Heng tried to disassemble the entire photo frame and opened the back of
the photo frame.
As expected!
Inside the photo frame was a palm-sized and very thin notebook.
The notebook was still very new.
Who left it here?
Fang Heng had no memory of this notebook.
He flipped open the first page.
There were five words written in messy handwriting
These five words had been circled several times.
Ouroboros.
Seeing this word, Fang Heng felt his heart beat faster.
He immediately turned the page back.
The handwriting at the back was even messier.
I must be in trouble!
I must have forgotten something extremely important
Every day when I wake up, my memory will lose some things related to the
game.
I don't know what I will forget when I wake up tomorrow.
I can only record these important things.
Ouroboros!
What is it? Why do I only remember this name?
I seem to remember someone holding a ritual for me.
Is it Ouroboros?
What is 'Ouroboros?
I forgot!
Why can't I remember!
I wonder if T'm dreaming!
The apocalypse is coming, the game is gradually reflecting reality.
The federation hides the apocalypse from the public for their benefit.
Only in the King of Gods' game can we hope for a slim chance of survival!
This is the only way for me to survive!
I must establish a haven in the game, to avoid the impending end!
No one can be trusted!
In the last few days, I feel as if someone is following me.
The bank account for the game I bought on the black market has also been
seized and frozen by the federation, and the funds have been exhausted.
The soul seal!
What's the use of it?
Tve already forgotten how I got that thing.
I only remember that it's very important!
I hid it in the place where I liked to hide toys when I was a child.
IfI were the one who saw this notebook, then I would remember.
Be careful of Xia Xi!!
Don't believe her!
I forgot the reason.
Don't ever believe her!
The contents of the notebook made Fang Heng momentarily at a loss.
Fang Heng's first reaction, "Was there something wrong with the spirit of the
original owner of this body?!"
"Xia Xi
Fang Heng muttered softly.
He felt a sense of unease.
When he first entered into this body, Fang Heng felt that his memory loss was
caused by his soul transfer
But now it seemed that was not the case…
Fang Heng took a deep breath and opened the notebook again.
He tried to analyze the contents.
First was Ouroboros.
He was sure that this name did not exist in his memory at all!
Then there was this paragraph recorded in the notebook.
Ritual?
What ritual had he held before?
It sounded like 'Ouroboros' was a cult?
Also!
"The apocalypse is coming, the game is gradually reflecting reality."
Was the recent changes in his body a concrete manifestation of the game
reflecting reality?
If that was the case, would other people have similar changes in their bodies?
What was the soul seal?
When he was young, the place where he hid things was a small hole that he had
secretly dug in the cormer of his old warehouse.
The father of the original owner of the body found it and gave hima good
beating
Fang Heng had a deep impression of this.
However, the rental house he was living in now did not have a warehouse at all.
The warehouse of the old house had long been demolished and remodelled.
Where was the soul seal hidden?
Finally..
There was Xia Xi.
Fang Heng felt his mind was in a mess.
He turned on his phone and tried to search the internet with Ouroboros' as the
keyword.
"Deng!
A red warning box popped up on the web page.
(Due to the restrictions of the federation's policy, you are unable to search for
this information.]
The search has been restricted by the federation."
Fang Heng's brows were tightly knitted.
He tried soul seal instead
Got it!
He found a message!
Fang Heng clicked on the message to check the content.
Deng
Another huge page popped up on the web page
Sorry, you are searching for higher-level content related to the King of Gods
game. Please go to the nearest King of Gods' gaming department for the record.
Thank you for your cooperation.]
(Sorry, your..
Tsk! Federation! Entrapment!"
Fang Heng curled his lips and closed the search webpage.
It seemed that the original owner of this body was very likely in some kind of
trouble..
Lying on the sofa, Fang Heng took a deep breath.
If it was like what was recorded in the notebook, the game reflected reality and
the apocalypse was coming…
He had to become stronger as soon as possible!

Chapter 118: Expansion Plan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor Nyoi-Bo Studio
(Hint: Your zombie group has mined iron ore 1207. You have gained 4126
mining experience points.]
(Hint: A portion of your zombie group has completed a round of growth. You
have gained 55 zombie clone proliferators.)
(Hint: Your mining skill has been upgraded to Level 11.)
When Fang Heng drove back to the abandoned mine, some of the zombies that
hadn't fought had completed their first wave of growth.
He did a quick check.
The attributes and skills of the newly-born zombie proliferators were the same
as the zombie clones!
In other words, the proliferators of the vine zombies were the evolved version
of the vine zombies.
Ordinary zombies could only produce ordinary zombies
Fang Heng did some calculations.
Originally, he only had 55 zombies at Level 1o, but now, he had levelled up to
Level 13
After he went through the SSS-level talent enhancement, he estimated that in
another 15 hours, he would have a total of 384 zombies in his ideal state!
That was almost seven times the number of zombies!
That was awesome.
With seven times the number of zombies, their hacking efficiency would at
least increase by four to five times?
However, he faced another challenge with the increase in zombies.
With so many more zombies, Fang Heng needed to prepare more than 300 sets
of iron tools and equipment for the zombies.
The number of iron nuggets was insufficient again.
Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment. Most of his zombie
clones could only use the basic wooden tools.
In addition, the number of zombies had increased by seven times. The mining
speed could be guaranteed.
In comparison, to increase the forging speed of the iron, more furmaces were
needed.
The Dawn Gaming Guild had indeed given three furnaces for free.
It was still insufficient!
They still needed to purchase another batch from the apocalypse merchant
Vettel.
The biggest problem at the moment was still the lack of survival points!
It was too slow to collect survival points just by relying on the zombies "wild
hack"!
After making up his mind, Fang Heng first used a batch of newly produced iron
nuggets to produce iron pickaxes and let the zombie clones distribute the
pickaxes among themselves to continue mining.
Then, he called a few more zombie clones and loaded the unrefined iron ore
into the truck.
"Tt's been a long time since I last visited my old friend Vettel."
Fang Heng activated the military truck and revealed a smile.
Tt was time to fulfil his long-cherished wish and empty his shop!
Fang Heng drove the truck back to the apocalypse merchant camp.
As usual, the NPCs instinctively gathered toward the truck as they looked at the
large truck driving into the camp.
Seeing the pile of ores behind the truck, the NPC porters all had the same
expression as expected.
One by one, they started to move the iron ore out of the truck
"Fang Heng! Long time no see!
Vettel came out of the house with two bottles of wine and handed a bottle to
Fang Heng
"Let me gues, what good stuff did you bring me this time?
"Stop guessing, it's iron ore! Your camp must need these things, right?"
"Of course! I need them! You're my lucky star."
Vettel glanced at the porters who were moving the iron ore out.
"You brought so much?
He was a little surprised.
"I remember there's an abandoned mine nearby. Did you occupy that place?
"You're right!"
Hint: You have submitted 200 units of iron ore to apocalypse merchant Vettel.
You have received 600 survival points.]
[Hint: You have completed the mission-collect iron ore.]
(Hint: Your friendship with merchant Vettel has increased.]
[Hint: You have submitted 200 units of iron ore to apocalypse merchant Vettel.
You have received 600 survival points.]
[Hint: You have completed.
The porters took more than 20 minutes to clear the truck.
Vettel had long finished a bottle of beer.
Fang Heng looked at the game log.
He had earned 45,00o survival points from this truck of iron ore.
The camp was still purchasing from the outside world and had not reached the
upper limit
He could continue farming!
Max out!
Fang Heng glanced at Vettel bes
Empty his shop!
"Vettel, I still need to buy some furnaces from you."
"Hmm, furnaces. Let me see. This thing is not easy to get. Every month, I sell a
limited number of furnaces to the public."
"You're lucky. The current survivors don't need this thing. There's got a lot of
them."
"Don't worry. With our relationship, I'll give you the lowest price."
Fang Heng opened the trading page to check.
There were a total of 20 furnaces in the camp, and the price was 2000 points
each.
Fang Heng waved his hand.
Empty it!
[Hint: you spent 40,o00 survival points to buy the furnace*20.]
"Please come back again next time!"
After going back and forth to the apocalypse camp, Fang Heng returned to the
abandoned mine with the furnaces.
In the abandoned mine, Fang Heng controlled the zombies to start working on
the 23 furmaces at the same time!
The temperature in the entire mine rose sharply!
After only staying for a few minutes, Fang Heng's back was already drenched in
sweat.
The zombies were still good employees!
They could still work even in such an environment!
With the furmace, the smelting speed of the iron nuggets increased greatly.
Similarly, the consumption rate of coal ore as fuel also increased greatly.
It was estimated that the fuel would be used up in three to four hours.
For the time being, logs could be cut into firewood as raw materials.
However, doing so would consume too much energy and waste too much time.
The small-scale coal mine that they found a while ago had not been fully
developed yet, so they could continue to mine…
"There are still many things that need to be dealt with to get everything on the
right track.
Fang Heng wiped the sweat off his forehead and sent a few zombies over to
split the logs, preparing to use them as backup fuel after the coal ores were
used up.
"Take it slow
It lasted until 1 a.m.
By the time all the zombies had completed their third growth, the entire
abandoned mine was already filled with zombie clones.
384, no more, no less.
Fang Heng counted the number of zombies and started controlling the
zombies to hack" in batches.
He first differentiated a group of vine zombie proliferators.
With the existence of the clones, the proliferators could be resurrected in six
hours, so there wouldn't be any pain when they died.
He changed their tools into small iron hammers and told them to go out and
carry out the 'demolition plan' that had a slight risk.
Specifically, they would search the entire forest area and demolish all the small
shelters that could be seen in the forest area!
This would greatly reduce the chances of players respawning nearby!
The remaining zombie clones split into three groups.
One group continued to mine iron, while the other was responsible for
controlling the furnaces to forge iron.
The last group was equipped with iron pickaxes and headed to the former
mining site to mine coal.
"That's more like it.."
After racking his brains, Fang Heng finally finished the zombies' hack plan.
He made a rough calculation in his heart.
With this efficiency, in two days at most, the zombie clones' equipment could
be changed, officially entering the Iron Age.
So tired..
Yawning, Fang Heng couldn't hold on any longer and went offline on the spot.
At two o'clock in the morning, the Phoenix Sound Gaming Company was still
brightly lit.
"President Li, we've checked, and indeed, we can't find anything wrong with
Fang Heng on the books"
Li Ru was extremely frustrated.
Fang Heng's resignation had caused her to receive quite a bit of criticism in the
company.
She tried her best to suppress her anger.
"You can't find anything? Are you trying to tell me that I'm wrong?"
"Then let me ask you, where did the wooden planks that Fang Heng submitted
to the federation come from? There has to be a source, right?
Secretary Zhang felt bitter in his heart.
He couldn't understand this question no matter how much he thought about it.
"We also asked a few new employees who work in Team 12."
"And then? What did they say?"
Zhang Linhuï's expression was very strange.
He stammered, "They said that these wooden planks were randomly picked up
in the forest."

"Just picked it up? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"
Li Ru was furious.
She felt that these subordinates were getting more and more useless.
"Do you believe what they said?"
Zhang Linhui felt bitter. He didn't believe it either, but what could he do?
"I also think it's strange, but these newcomers were all questioned separately, and the answers they gave were all the same. It doesn't seem like a premeditated conspiracy."
"oh right, they also mentioned Fang Heng's large shelter in the game. It's said
to be a large shelter built on the foundation of the prison, with all the
resources inside."
This is very strange, I didn't find any record of Fang Heng's shelter in the work
accounts of Team 3 and Team 12."
Li Ru nodded.
To build a large shelter in the game in such a short time, it would be
impossible to do it based on 'Team 12 alone.
It must be because Qin Shuran had used the company's resources to provide
them with great support bełhind the scenes.
This incident is a breakthrough point. Continue your investigation. What
happened after that?
"After that, a few rookies from Team 12 resigned."
"All of them resigned?
Li Ru was surprised.
"Yes, all of them resigned, including Pei Anan."
"You can leave first."
Li Ru's brows were tightly furrowed.
Perhaps the outcome of Team 12 leaving voluntarily was not bad either.
She had specially approved the 'investigation' of Fang Heng.
For this, she needed to explain to the board of directors.
All the people involved had resigned guiltily, so the investigation was forced to
be suspended…
Could this reason convince the board of directors?
Li Ru could not help but ponder in her heart.
Dong Dong Dong, President Li!
"Come in."
The office door was pushed open.
Director Wang from the purchasing department laughed as he pushed the door
open and entered.
"President Li, you're still up so late?"
'It's all for the company. Aren't you the same? What good news is there?"
"Haha, good news!"
Director Wang was in a great mood.
"The federation has placed another big order with us. This order is even better
than the previous one. It's just that the federation hopes that we can complete
it as soon as possible. I came to inform you of the good news as soon as I
received the news."
Li Ru rubbed her swollen temples.
"What order?
Director Wang walked over and handed over the order report.
"The order for the wooden planks. I've confimed it. There's no problem. We've
already accepted it. Hurry up and handle it. Once this order is completed, we'll
have more than half of our sales quota for the second half of the year!"
Wooden planks!
Li Ru glanced at the order and her eyelids twitched.
She had checked Fang Heng's performance records.
In just three days, Fang Heng had provided a large number of wooden planks to
the federation.
Li Ru was now certain of it.
Everything was related to Fang Heng's shelter in the game
Qin Shuran had secretly helped Fang Heng build such a shelter there!
There must be some way to obtain a large number of wooden planks there.
Li Ru sneered in her heart.
Now that Fang Heng had left his job, her people could smoothly take over the
shelter.
She would reap the benefits.
Once she reported this matter to the company's board of directors, the prison
shelter would return to her jurisdiction.
The thought of being able to win against Qjn Shuran made Li Ru's mood better
again.
"Well done. I got the order. I will urge all the game teams to complete it as soon
as possible.
THint: During the time you are offline, your zombie group continued to mine
iron ore. You obtained iron oret6721 and mining experience points 44,633.]

[Hint: Your skill-mining level has been upgraded to Level 13, your skill – stealth
has been upgraded to Level 13, and your skill -physical training has been

The next day, Fang Heng went online and glanced at the game log as usual.
Good!
The efficiency of hacking had been greatly increased!
"n the morning, I'll continue to transport materials and empty Vettel's shop.
In the aftermoon, I'll pick up Qju Yaokang and return to the prison."
Fang Heng muttered to himself. Just as he left the lounge, a few familiar
tigures approached him.
It was the rookies of Phoenix Sound Gaming Company.
"Team leader Fang!"
"How is it? Have you thought it through' Are you going to stay"
"Yes, I've thought it through. Yesterday, I was interrogated by the company like
a prisoner for a long time. There's no point in staying. Well continue to follow
team leader Fang from now on."
Liu Yi reached out and pushed his companion beside him. He whispered, "Idiot,
you don't even know what to say. Call him boss"
"Yes! Boss!"
"Oh… you're very smart. From now on, you'll be the team leader." Fang Heng
patted Liu Yfs shoulder. "Do a good job."
"Yes! Boss!"
Liu Yi continued to suggest.
"Boss, we have a few alumni from the same year. Their internships at the
company aren't going well either. They also want to come here. Are you still
recruiting
"Recruiting! Of course, I'm recruiting!"
After leaving Phoenix Sound Gaming Company, Fang Heng immediately had
the intention to recruit.
After receiving the rapid growth and talent enhancement plan, his shelter
expanded at a much faster rate.
If he were to rely on himself, he would have broken his legs just moving
materials in the future.
He had to hire some trustworthy helpers.
First, he had to recruit a group of people, then slowly select those he could
trust.
He would not let these people come into contact with the core of the shelter,
for the time being, to ensure that the risk was manageable.
"Let them come over for an interview tomorrow. As for the location… well… I'Il
tell you later."
If he wanted to recruit people, he still lacked some start-up funds.. he needed
a sum of money.
Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Selling resources!
The fastest and most convenient way.
If the customer was an ordinary player, then he would encounter a lot of
troublesome matters.
It was the same logic as opening an online shop, it would be very troublesome.
Fang Heng felt that he didn't have the energy to deal with it.
Selling resources to the federation was the most efficient and fastest way.
These matters could be handed over to Pei Anan to coordinate.
Yesterday, he and Pei Anan communicated through their mobile phones for a
very long time.
The federation still had very strict control over the game, so he would open a
gaming work studio at that time.
Pei Anan had experience with specific procedures.
After obtaining the funds, he would have to rent an office building as his
working space…
Fang Heng did not have the time and energy to deal with these problems.
Pei Anan would be an employee of the work studio. From now on, she would be
responsible for dealing with all kinds of problems outside of gaming.
"Yes! Boss!"
The newcomers were full of energy
One of the newcomers rolled up his sleeves. "Boss, what are we going to do
today? Are we still going to pick up logs outside?"

Chapter 120: Demolition

"No, I have a new task for you today."
Fang Heng was prepared. He took out a map of the area around the forest from
his backpack.
A few rookies gathered around to observe.
"Look, this is the location of the prison we are in."
Fang Heng pointed at the map and then circled five points on it with a pen.
"These are the small and medium-sized shelters I found nearby."
I need you to go to these five places together today. Bring gasoline along with
you and help me set these places on fire."
"Burn them?"
The rookies looked at each other.
What was the purpose of burning a shelter?
"Then, boss, what if we meet a player in the shelter?"
"Yeah, if we run into players.."
Fang Heng also began to ponder.
The forest region was naturally short of food in the early stages, so it was not suitable for early development.
If ordinary players were unlucky enough to be born here, they would at most
stay for a few days before finding a way to leave and find a more suitable place
to live.
In addition, Prisoner Snake had previously damaged and looted the place.
In theory, all the ordinary players near the forest region should have run away
"We can discuss with them and ask them to move out of the forest. We will give
them some food and basic materials as compensation."
From a strategic point of view, during the middle of the game, the large guilds
would take the usual action of compensating for the 'demolition.
The only difference was the amount of compensation.
This was related to the company's reputation.
For a player guild where Prisoner Snake came from, although they did not
violate federal laws, their reputation among the players was extremely bad.
If they wanted to continue developing, it was almost impossible for them to
expand in the game.
Fang Heng did not lack food in the shelter now. He could collecta large amount
of food and materials in a day.
Paying some 'demolition compensation' was like a drop of water in the bucket
for him.
"But… what if they still don't want to move?"
If they still didn't want to, then they could only force it…
"Sigh!"
Fang Heng sighed and patted the young college student's shoulder.
Then we can only let them see the dark side of this society.."
Did he even need to ask?
If they met a black-hearted lion who opened his mouth, of course, they wouldd
use zombies to demolish their homes!
This was the cruel reality of the apocalypse.
Fang Heng felt that he had done it with a clear conscience.
"How about this: If you meet any players, try to come into contact with them
and convince them to 'relocate'. The compensation will be based on the
standard set by the federation. If you all can't reach an agreement, then put it
aside for now and wait for me to settle it"
So much?
The few rookies looked at each other in disnmay.
The compensation standard for demolishing and relocation in the federation had always been extremely generous. Very few companies with a consCience
could reach this level.
"Do you still have any questions
"No."
The few rookies nodded their heads to show that they had no objections. They
ran over to Liao Bufan's place to receive gasoline barrels and other supplies,
preparing to carry out the demolition plan.
Fang Heng rubbed his neck.
Next, it was time to continue completing the plan of emptying the apocalypse
merchant camp.
"Enough, enough, Fang Heng. It's enough."
"We don't need any more iron ore here."
Vettel wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed Fang Heng a bottle of
cold beer.
The 50 furnaces in the apocalypse camp operated 24 hours a day.
The entire apocalypse camp was now like a big furnace.
"Moreover, we really can't store any more materials here. We need some time
to digest them."
Vettel smiled bitterly.
He didn't expect that there would come a day when he would be troubled by
receiving too many materials.
There was nothing more troublesome than this.
As he spoke, Vettel pointed at the iron ore and coal piled up into a few hills in
the apocalypse merchant camp.
"Did you know that the iron ore and coal you provided are enough to upgrade
my camp to Level 3? Even if it's other resources, we can't store them here for
the time being"
With the appearance of a bug like Fang Heng, Vettel felt that he needed to
upgrade the warehouse of the apocalypse camp first.
"You can come back after our camp has completed the expansion of the
warehouse."
Really… It has reached the upper limit again..
Fang Heng stroked his chin.
It seemed that it would be a little difficult to empty Vettel's shop.
In the morning, Fang Heng had transported iron ore and coal back and forth
several tinmes.
In total, Fang Heng had earned 15,700 survival points from Vettel.
"Vettel, good lord! I just heard from my uncle that you expanded the Level 3
warehouse without upgrading it. Are you expanding"
Seeing the girl walking into the entrance of the apocalypse camp, Vettel's face
revealed a gentle smile.
"Look who's here, Qjao Ling! I was wondering why my left eyelid kept
twitching today. Tonight, you will stay here. I'll get the chef to prepare your
favourite garlic crayfish!"
As Vettel spoke, he glanced at Fang Heng beside him. "And you, Fang Heng,
don't even think about running away. Last time, you stood me up, so you have
to stay here tonight too! We have to get drunk."
A cheerful and enthusiastic girl about seventeen or eighteen years old walked
in from outside the apocalypse camp.
She had clean short hair, and her big eyes revealeda mischievous look.
"Hi, Fang Heng. This is the first time we've met. I've long heard of your name."
Qjao Ling walked forward and waved at Fang Heng, revealing a smile.
"Hello, I'm Qjao Ling from the Dark Knights."
She looked Fang Heng up and down.
"Hello, I'm Fang Heng."
"Qiao Ling is David's daughter. You can't tell, right? That boor." Vettel sighed
and asked Qjao Ling, "Did you run into any trouble today?"
"No, Dad went on a mission and couldn't leave. It was Sister Katarina who
asked me to look for Fang Heng"
Fang Heng was a little surprised.
"You came to look for me?"
"Yes, it's related to the mission of collecting the samples of Erita."
"We analyzed the samples of Erita in detail and found something"
"Come, come, come. Let's talk inside"
Vettel led everyone into the small room, closed the wooden door and gave
everyone a bottle of cold beer.
Qiao Ling sat beside the counter.
"According to the analysis of our Dark Knights Research Team, we believe that
the Meteorite Company has completed the preliminary biological weapon
project."
"Based on the information we've received recently, zombies that have been
modified have appeared all over the world. They can accept some orders"
"There are even rumours of zombie creatures that can use high strength
weapons."
Vettel's expression was grave.
"What does Meteorite Company want to do?"
Tm not sure, but recently, we've investigated something strange."
On the day the biochemical crisis broke out, there were several biochemical
virus leaks all over the world at the same time."
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Are you trying to say that the apocalypse event was not a coincidence?"
"Yes, it's just a guess. We have suspected it internally before, and the timing of
the incident at Prison No. 507 has also confirmed this speculation."
"According to the confirmation, there are a total of four biochemical virus leaks
in the country, and they happened to occur on the same day."
Fang Heng nodded.
Such a coincidence was beyond logic.
"What do you need me to do"
"We will organize a team to go to Pine City as soon as possible. We hope you
can become a member of the team then."
