Chapter 364: Stabilizers
Among the crowd, only Sikong Mao wasn't wearing a mask. He looked at Fang Heng, his gaze fixed on Fang Heng's red mask.
"I'm Sikong Mao, the person in charge of the research institute."
"Fang Shuo."
Fang Heng replied indifferently, his gaze shifting to Sikong Mao.
Sikong Mao!
The Federation's S-level wanted criminal!
He was a ruthless character.
Fang Heng had a slight impression of him.
There were two types of criminals that could make it onto the S-level wanted list.
The first type was those who were strong to a certain extent and possessed extremely destructive abilities, causing the Federation to feel an extremely great threat.
The second type was those criminals who relied on their efforts to stir up trouble in the game, causing great damage to the Federation.
Sikong Mao belonged to the latter.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Time is limited. Let's walk and talk."
Sikong Mao turned around and led Fang Heng into the research institute. He gave Fang Heng a general introduction to the research institute.
"This building used to be one of the secret research institutes of the Meteorite Company. Now, it's completely under the control of our Night Owl."
The group of people walked straight into the research institute and stopped in front of the delivery elevator.
Sikong Mao pressed the button that led to the second basement.
A few players who were pushing ore carts followed them into the elevator.
"After we took over the research institute, we completely modified it and strengthened the research institute's defensive capabilities."
"The wilderness areas are all anti-federal organizations. We're united against the outside world, so it's safer. Next is stealth..."
"Stealth?"
Fang Heng looked at the player who was moving the ores and materials, thinking, is this still considered stealth?
"There's a change in the plan. They only came here last night. Two days ago, only the core members of Night Owl's organization knew about the existence of the research institute."
Sikong Mao noticed Fang Heng's tone and explained.
He raised his head to look at Fang Heng and asked, "Fang Shuo, what's your mechanic level and building level?"
"Both are Level 15 and there's also the talent skill bonus."
Fang Heng deliberately omitted Tier 3.
Sikong Mao's eyes flashed with surprise.
"You're Level 15?"
"Yes."
"Very impressive."
Sikong Mao nodded his head in praise.
Level 15. This level was considered a veteran player in Server 5.
"Looks like Old Black has introduced me to a reliable candidate." Sikong Mao sighed and asked intentionally, "How do you know Old Black?"
"In the beginning, it was through an anonymous mission. At that time, I didn't know that he was related to your Night Owl, so I was almost cheated by him once."
Fang Heng said with a smile, "But he still gave a lot of money, and it arrived in time."
"Ding Dong!"
The elevator stopped at the third basement.
"Let's go."
Along the way, Fang Heng was observing the surrounding terrain.
The internal security of the research institute was relatively tight. Night Owl players wearing silver masks could often be seen.
After walking through a passage that was about ten meters long, a huge underground platform appeared in front of them.
"This is the research institute's main control room."
Seeing the scene in the main control room, Fang Heng's pupils suddenly constricted.
That was...
In the middle of the platform stood a large mechanical device.
Many players were surrounding the machine and making calculations and modifications.
What the hell!
Large-scale space tearing device?!
Fang Heng was shocked.
That's not right!
Fang Heng frowned as he carefully observed the super-sized machine in the centre of the platform.
It was not a large-scale space tearing device.
Even though it was very similar to the structure of the space tearing device.
"Let me introduce the space tearing stabilizing device."
Fang Heng turned his head to look at Sikong Mao.
"What's that?"
Sikong Mao wanted to test Fang Heng's mechanical knowledge.
"Old Black said that you're proficient in mechanical devices, so you should have heard of the large-scale space tearing device, right?"
"Of course, it's a kind of long-distance transmission device. It consumes a lot of energy and requires a special blue crystal as its energy source."
Fang Heng paused and added, "In addition, I heard that after the device is upgraded to a higher tier, it can also conduct teleportations across servers."
"You're right. The space tearing device is the 'back door' left behind by the game in various worlds."
"After we get the space tearing device, we can continuously upgrade it to level up, so that we can cross servers and even cross the game worlds."
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
What Sikong Mao said proved his previous guess.
That's right!
The space tearing device would most likely continue to level up after levelling up to Tier 4!
Fang Heng had always believed that the destruction of the first-generation meteorite in Server 8 had something to do with Night Owl.
It was the Night Owl organization's use of the space tearing device.
And the traces left in the cave on Paradise Island indicated that it was related to vampires.
Therefore, Fang Heng concluded that it was an invasion from the world of vampires.
This meant that the large-scale space tearing device could also carry out transmissions across the game world!
For example, it could enter the world of vampires of the same level.
It could even enter the game world of a higher level!
Fang Heng took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the large-scale device in the middle of the spacious main control room.
"You still haven't told me what this thing is used for?"
"You can think of it as an amplification device of the space tearing device."
Sikong Mao explained, "There are multiple restrictions on the space tearing device. Under normal circumstances, the passage across the game world can only open for a very short moment."
"For example, a normal space tearing device can only transport a player from the original point A world to point B world, and it will also cost a little."
"Now, we can build an amplifier at point B to link point A and point B for a long time, which is equivalent to opening a long-lasting passage."
"Of course, this passage still has many restrictions, and there are still many things that can not pass through this temporary passage."
Listening to Sikong Mao's words, Fang Heng's heart beat wildly.
"You're saying that this can be used to open a continuous time passage?!"
"Yes, that's right."
A cold glint appeared in Sikong Mao's eyes.
"The troublesome thing is that building the passage requires a lot of rare materials and a lot of energy."
As they spoke, a few players laboriously dragged a few large boxes into the laboratory and stacked them along the right wall.
"As you can see, those boxes are filled with blue crystal raw ores."
"You should also know that after the Dark Knights of District 5 were destroyed, the production method of blue crystal ores is also impossible to obtain. Hence, we can only use this inefficient method to directly use blue crystal raw ores as energy stabilizing devices."
"Hence, we need a large number of blue crystal raw ores."
"Unfortunately, most of the blue crystal raw ore mines in District 5 are within the scope of the Federation's control."
"Therefore, from a few months ago, we've already begun to secretly steal the blue crystal raw ores from within the Federation."
Sikong Mao walked to Fang Heng's side and sized up the large space stabilizing device located in the centre of the main control room.
"I believe Old Black has already told you that to obtain the blue crystal raw ores, there was a huge commotion last night."
"Those people from the Federation aren't all trash. I believe that they will react very quickly. They might be able to guess what we are trying to do."
"Therefore, I need to complete the construction of the stabilizing device before the Federation realises it, and open the passage completely!"

Chapter 365: Blueprint
Fang Heng was secretly shocked when he heard this.
What a guy!
Night Owl was prepared to play a big game this time!
Directly opening a time passage and using the strength of the other servers to annihilate Server 5's federal forces?
After saying this, Sikong Mao stopped and raised his hand to greet a researcher.
"Parason!"
On the large stabilizer, a short, skinny, dark-skinned young man flipped over and walked towards Sikong Mao.
Parason's forehead was covered in sweat and he looked a little impatient.
"Mr Sikong, time is too tight. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it in twenty hours..."
Sikong Mao waved his hand and interrupted, "This is Fang Shuo, the person recommended by Old Black. He will be in charge of the construction of the stabilizer. You will assist him."
When Parason heard this, he carefully sized up Fang Heng and revealed an expression of distrust.
"He is Parason, a Level 11 mechanical master. He is in charge of the entire research institute's base reconstruction. He was originally in charge of the construction of the stabilizer. Now that time is tight, I need you to take the lead."
Parason had some doubts about Fang Heng's ability, so he nodded at Fang Heng.
"I'll leave this to the two of you. Work together. If you encounter any problems, come and find me immediately. I'll help you solve them as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Sikong Mao handed Fang Heng a piece of the blueprint.
[Hint: You have obtained the building blueprint-large-scale space tearing device.]
There was such a benefit!?
Getting a piece of blueprint for free?
With this, he would be able to think of a way to directly open the world passage in the future!!
Fang Heng maintained his calm on the surface and opened the building blueprints to check.
Item: building blueprints-large-scale space tearing device stabilizer.
Description: After using the blueprints, you can learn the construction of the large-scale space tearing device stabilizer.
Learning requirements: Machinery proficiency Level 10, basic building Level 10.
Construction effect 1: After the main space tearing device is positioned, the stabilizer is activated. It can greatly increase the stability of the passage, allowing the passage to be continuously constructed and allow most of the minerals, materials and living things to pass through.
Construction effect 2: Activating the stabilizer will consume a large amount of energy in an instant, and maintaining the passage will consume the energy of both the main device and the stabilizer at the same time (as the passage's usage time increases, the energy consumption will gradually increase).
Construction effect 3: The facility may be damaged during usage.
Materials required for construction: Click here to display the details.
Good stuff!
Fang Heng impatiently slapped the blueprint on his head.
[Hint: You have learned the skill-large-scale space tearing device.]
"Fang Shuo, you only have 20 hours. We have to complete the construction of the stabilizer."
Sikong Mao instructed Fang Heng.
He did not leave the main control room. Instead, he walked to the side, sat on a stool and quietly watched.
Fang Heng was still thinking about the stabilizer.
This thing was good!
With it, he could think of a way to open a passage for a longer duration in the future, plundering the resources of other servers and moving materials into his shelter!
The scale had become bigger all of a sudden!
Seeing that Fang Heng did not make any move, Parason wiped the sweat from his forehead and could not help but urge him.
"Fang Shuo, let's start now."
"The other players' mechanical levels are very low, so they can only help out and make some intermediate parts. Only the two of us and the other three NPC survivors can complete the main construction work."
"Okay, okay."
Fang Heng answered perfunctorily and glanced at the game log.
The zombie clones that died last night would be resurrected in less than two hours.
There were too many people here, so it was not a good place to resurrect zombies.
He had to find a quiet place to resurrect zombies as soon as possible and then make a plan.
"Fang Heng, hurry up. If we don't finish the construction on time..."
Parason carefully glanced at Sikong Mao, who was not far away, and hesitated.
"Don't worry. There's still plenty of time."
Fang Heng followed Parason to the space tearing stabilizing device in the centre of the main control room.
[Hint: You have found a large-scale space tearing stabilizing device under construction.]
[Hint: You have mastered the construction of the building.]
[Hint: Current completion rate: 77.15%.]
[Hint: This construction requires high-level mechanical parts*17, chrome-lead alloy*27, advanced precision gear*31... after completion, the overall completion rate will be increased by 2%-4.3%. This construction success rate: 87%.]
Fang Heng raised his head again and turned his head to look behind him.
A gaze was focused on him.
It was Sikong Mao.
Fang Heng raised the wrench and waved it at Sikong Mao, then turned around to start the construction.
Seeing a long channelling bar appear above Fang Heng's head, Sikong Mao, who had been staring at Fang Heng, heaved a sigh of relief.
He had let down his guard a little against Fang Heng.
Perhaps it was because it was too important, he had always felt a little uneasy.
Closing his eyes, Sikong Mao continued to glean the plan that he would carry out later.
...
[Hint: You have completed the current construction of the building. The completion rate of the building has increased by 2.9%. Current completion rate of the building: 89.92%.]
"Mr Fang Shuo!"
Parason could not help but feel a little excited.
At first, he had some doubts about the abilities of this new architect.
He did not expect that in less than two hours, he had completed 10% of the construction!
It was too shocking!
Parason watched the whole process.
Fang Heng had completed every construction!
A terrifying success rate.
"Vitality points have been used up. I will go and rest for a while. The parts needed for the next step will be prepared as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay. Mr Fang Shuo, I'll take care of this."
Parason was convinced by Fang Heng's words and he became even more respectful.
Fang Heng waved his hand and glanced at the game hint.
There was less than half an hour left before the zombie team resurrected. He needed to find a place to place the zombies as soon as possible.
Looking around, Fang Heng walked toward the exit of the control room.
Two members of the Night Owl organization wearing silver masks reached out and stopped Fang Heng.
"What? Can't I find a place to rest? Energy points will affect my construction success rate."
The Night Owl players hesitated for a moment and looked at Sikong Mao.
Sikong Mao looked at Parason.
Parason said excitedly, "Mr Sikong, with Mr Fang Heng's help, the current completion rate of the stabilizer is close to 90%."
90%?
That fast?
Sikong Mao was also shocked by Fang Heng's efficiency.
He didn't expect Fang Heng to be able to provide so much help with the construction.
With this speed, they could greatly advance the schedule!
"Thank you for your hard work. Parason, take him to the lounge. You still have 18 hours."
"Mr Fang Shuo, please follow me."
Watching Fang Heng and Parason leave, a young man wearing a silver mask walked forward. "Do you need me to follow him?"
"No need. He was recommended by Old Black. We can trust him."
"But..." the young man watched Fang Heng leave. "He has been wearing a mask and doesn't want to show his real face. Do you want to check him?"
"No need. If he wants to hide his identity, he can't be found even if he takes off his mask."

Chapter 366: Established
Fang Heng followed Parason out of the main control room in the third basement and took the elevator to the second floor.
The entire research institute was under Night Owl's control.
Not only was the game map blocked, but even the survival radio couldn't be used.
"Fang Shuo, the lounge is on the second floor. I'll take you there now."
"Thank you."
"Your mechanical skill is very impressive. Is it related to your talent skill?"
"Yes."
"With your help, we'll be able to complete the construction of the stabilizer very soon."
"I hope there are no accidents."
Fang Heng replied. Under Parason's guidance, he took the elevator to the second floor. After passing through a long pathway, he arrived at the door of a lounge.
Along the way, Fang Heng discovered that the guards on the second floor had been much more lax. Only the elevator entrance was guarded by two members of the Night Owl organization.
The entire passage was also empty.
"This is your room, 2239. This is the key. Please keep it well."
Fang Heng took the key. "There doesn't seem to be anyone here?"
"The second floor is full of temporary lounges and guest rooms. Very few people are here during the day."
"Okay." Fang Heng unlocked the door and stood at the door. He said, "You go ahead and get ready for the next phase of construction. I'll be back after my energy points recover."
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Parason was also concerned about the construction of the stabilizer. He nodded to Fang Heng and left quickly.
After closing the room door, Fang Heng tried to take out a simple bed from his backpack and threw it on the ground.
[Hint: The current environment is affected by a special factor. You are unable to use the simple bed's offline function. Please leave the area and try again.]
Unable to go offline!
Fang Heng was not surprised by this. He had already received this news from Old Black in advance.
He then took out the blueprint that Old Black had sent from outside the game not long ago from his backpack and placed it on the table.
This blueprint was the layout of the research institute of the Meteorite Company.
After the Night Owl organization took over the research institute, they repaired and partially renovated the research institute.
The main building didn't change much.
Especially the built-in ventilation duct.
Fang Heng quickly confirmed his position on the blueprint.
From the map, there was a large storage room behind the next corner.
The storage room was usually used to store goods, so there should be no one there.
There was also a ventilation duct in the storage room.
That was it!
Fang Heng left the room and walked to the door of the storage room. He knocked on the door.
After confirming that there was no reply from inside the room, he took out the wire from his backpack.
[Hint: You used the lock picking skill.]
[Hint: Your lock picking skill has failed authentication!]
[Hint: You have used the lock picking skill...]
[Hint: Authentication successful. You have completed the lock picking. You have received skill-lock picking experience points 12.]
"Click..."
After several failed attempts, the door lock was opened.
Fang Heng pushed the door open and entered quickly.
Very good, there was no one there.
There were some damaged experimental equipment and miscellaneous items piled up in the storage room.
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the ventilation duct above.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the rotating alchemy magic arrays gradually appeared under Fang Heng's feet.
The resurrected Lickers came out of the alchemy magic arrays, with a few vine zombies mixed in.
After the Lickers were completely resurrected, Fang Heng controlled the Lickers to break through the ventilation duct's entrance and enter one after another.
Combined with the information given by Old Black, the first-generation meteorite was hidden inside the research institute.
The Meteorite Company's research institute's design showed that the fifth, sixth and seventh basements were originally laboratories.
Considering that the first-generation meteorite would cause strong radiation, in order to minimize the radiation effect, storing the first-generation meteorite in the deepest part of the seventh basement was the optimal plan.
While thinking, Fang Heng controlled the Lickers in the ventilation duct to explore downward.
Soon, the Lickers sent a message.
After the ventilation duct entered the sixth basement, it was completely cut off.
The Lickers sensed the sound of a human being at the exit of the ventilation duct on the sixth basement.
"Looks like I have to wait..."
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
Pretending that nothing had happened, Fang Heng returned to the third basement.
...
Four hours later.
A game hint appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: You have completed the construction of the large-scale space tearing stabilizer.]
The large-scale space tearing stabilizer was completed!
"Good! Thank you for your hard work."
Sikong Mao's eyes flashed with unconcealable excitement.
"Parason, let's begin."
"Yes!"
The construction was completed more than ten hours ahead of schedule, and Parazon was in high spirits.
He immediately called the few researcher NPCs in the room to connect to the main world's space tearing device. At the same time, he assigned the players to load the blue crystal raw ores.
Fang Heng stood quietly on the spot, looking at the busy players.
Sikong Mao walked to Fang Heng's side. "Fang Shuo, there's a high probability that the stabilizing device will malfunction during operation. Later, we still need you to stay here and ensure the normal operation of the teleportation passage."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Fang Heng nodded lightly and agreed immediately.
"Thank you."
Sikong Mao clenched his fists.
After setting up for so long, the Night Owl organization had finally taken the first step in their plan.
He could not help but feel a little excited.
Fang Heng asked, "Is it a passage that crosses the game world?"
"That's right, the other end of the passage comes from the Vampire Apocalypse."
He guessed it right!
Night Owl's series of arrangements were all related to the Vampire Apocalypse!
Fang Heng was about to ask more questions when another NPC research personel walked up and asked in a low voice.
"Mr Sikong, the blue crystal raw ores have been filled up. The efficiency of the raw ore's energy conversion is extremely low. According to the current blue crystal raw ore reserve, it's estimated that it can only maintain the passage open for about 20 minutes. Are we ready to open it?"
"The energy is enough. Let's begin."
Parason and the other two NPC researchers sat in front of the main control console, controlling the stabilizer to perform docking operations.
"We have received a parallel world signal."
"Docking is in progress."
"Docking completed. Confirming the docking point. Passage is being established..."
"Hum..."
The stabilizer at the center of the control center kept shaking. Circles of blue energy waves radiated out from the stabilizer.
"What's the situation?"
"Is there a problem?"
"The fluctuation range is still within the normal range..."
The fluctuation phenomenon produced by the amplifier made the players a little nervous. They couldn't help but whisper in low voices.
Parason frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous! This is a normal phenomenon, it's the energy dissipation caused by using low-level energy!"
"Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in the center of the control room showed a strange distortion.
Parason saw this and ordered loudly, "Quick! Increase the power! Adjust it to the maximum! Quick!"
Hearing this, the two assistant researchers immediately adjusted the power to the maximum.
"Chi Chi Chi..."
The space was distorted to the extreme and a black crack appeared in the middle!
Blue electric currents were constantly flashing in the crack.

Chapter 367: Invasion
"Whoosh!!!"
Two thick blue energy beams shot out from the stabilizers' top, directly hitting the spatial rift.
A strong light flashed and all the players couldn't help but lower their heads.
They looked up again.
A blue, rippling passage that looked like the surface of the water appeared in the centre of the control centre hall.
The ripples trembled slightly.
A female player with long chestnut hair stepped out of the time passage.
She was a foreigner.
She had a delicate face and looked to be in her early twenties. She had a pair of blue eyes.
Fang Heng looked at her from afar.
He felt a strange sense of familiarity with the woman.
Emilia walked out of the time passage.
She closed her eyes and tried to breathe the air of the Zombie Apocalypse.
"Marquis Emilia! Welcome, great vampires."
Sikong Mao suppressed the excitement in his heart and slightly bowed.
The other Night Owl organization players and NPCs also imitated Sikong Mao and slightly bowed to Emilia to show their respect.
Only Fang Heng was standing in a corner.
Emilia seemed to have sensed something. She suddenly reached out her hand and signalled Sikong Mao to be silent.
Her blue eyes focused on Fang Heng. She walked toward Fang Heng Step by step until she stopped in front of Fang Heng.
Everyone looked at Fang Heng in confusion.
Fang Heng calmly looked at Emilia.
He felt a faint sense of familiarity with Emilia.
"What a surprise. I can see my kind here."
"My kind?"
Fang Heng suddenly understood.
That's right!
Vampires!
This sense of familiarity came from their bloodline.
Sikong Mao frowned, feeling extremely puzzled.
He was also a vampire?
But why did he appear in Server 5 Zombie Apocalypse?
"My name is Emilia, I'm from the Ruimur clan," Emilia smiled and said, "How should I address you?"
"Fang Shuo."
Sikong Mao stepped forward and explained, "Emilia, this is Fang Shuo. With his help, we were able to complete the time passage stabilizer in such a short period."
Emilia averted her gaze from Fang Heng.
"Mr Sikong, just like what the rumours say, you are a trustworthy partner."
"As promised, time is of the essence. Can we begin?"
Emilia raised her head to look at the time and continued, "The construction of the passage is faster than expected. There are still two hours before sunset and we still need Mr Sikong's help."
"I'm willing to help."
As the few of them were talking, the time passage that had been opened started to fluctuate again.
Eh? What was that?
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the time passage.
A few humans carrying boxes of materials walked out of the teleportation passage.
No! They were not humans!
They looked almost the same as humans on the outside, but the spine of their bodies was strangely bent. The hair on their bodies had fallen off, and their exposed skin was frighteningly pale.
Blood slaves!
These two words appeared in Fang Heng's mind, and at the same time, he felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.
Blood slaves were the product of failure after receiving the inheritance of vampires.
They did not die, but they also did not successfully advance to become vampires and turn into a kind of inferior life form.
The evolution failed and the physical quality of the blood slaves did not improve. Instead, they became extremely afraid of the sun and they needed to drink blood every once in a while to maintain their lives.
In the Vampire Apocalypse, the blood slaves were considered to be unclean degenerates.
They were the lowest level creature, even worse than humans who were kept in captivity. They could only do some low-level labour.
Apart from that, the low-level blood slaves were born to submit to the high-level vampires.
Therefore, even though the orthodox vampires despised creatures like the blood slaves, they all admitted that using them as slaves was the most convenient method.
The blood slaves moved the boxes filled with blue square crystals into the hall through the teleportation passage as the energy source for the stabilizer. Then, they moved the remaining blue crystal raw ores in the hall back through the teleportation passage.
"Before that, we still need to replenish the energy source for the stabilizer. When night falls, the vampires from the Ruimur clan will officially launch a war against the Federation players in District 5."
Emilia smiled. "Mr Sikong, are you ready?"
"Of course. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Sikong nodded. "Be careful of the Federation's sniping. When the time comes, I'll stay here to prevent the Federation's surprise attack from destroying the teleportation passage."
...
In the Federation's meeting hall.
The high-ranking military officers of District 5 Zombie Apocalypse were having a long-distance meeting to review the events that happened in Shelter No. 2 last night, trying to figure out the movements of Night Owl and the other anti-federal organizations.
Before they could figure out the reason, the door of the meeting room in the main hall was pushed open.
A soldier hurriedly handed a report to the commander of District 5's United Front commander, Qian Yuan.
"Minister Qian, the latest emergency information."
Seeing the contents of the report, Qian Yuan's expression changed.
He nodded and signalled the soldier to announce the contents.
"Yes!"
The soldier faced the officers and announced, "Five minutes ago, a large-scale spatial fluctuation appeared in Zombie Apocalypse District 5. The intensity of the fluctuation was 100-150 times greater than the fluctuation near our second shelter yesterday."
"According to the intelligence analysis, a space tearing passage across worlds is being established in District 5."
Almost at the same time, two words appeared in the minds of all the participants.
Dimensional invasion!
Server 5 was being invaded by other dimensional worlds!
A high ranking Federation officer asked, "Where is the location of the disturbance?"
"Currently searching. We have confirmed that it is within the Eastern region of the Federation's District 5."
"In half an hour, we will be able to determine within an error range of 1000 kilometres. In two hours, we will be able to locate the exact coordinates of the passage."
"Which world is it from?"
"We have yet to receive any reports from other worlds. The cost of invading a low-tier game world from a high-tier world is too high. The intelligence department has determined that it is an invasion from the same dimension. There is a high probability that it is the Vampire Apocalypse."
The hearts of all the military officers in the Eastern region sank.
This was troublesome.
The danger level of the Vampire Apocalypse and the Zombie Apocalypse were on par. However, the overall strength of the players in the Vampire Apocalypse was stronger than that of the players in the Zombie Apocalypse!
Qian Yuan said in a deep voice, "I announce that Server 5 has entered an emergency state. Everyone is online and ready for battle."
"Gather everyone within half an hour and attack the source of the teleportation point in one hour. We must win this battle!"
"Yes!"
...
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The sky gradually darkened.
The entire central control room was filled with a large number of low-level vampires.
The real vampires looked no different from ordinary humans.
They could walk openly under the sun. They also had a physique and vitality that exceeded that of ordinary people. They could also gather strength from their blood and quickly recover their life by absorbing blood.
After advancing to the middle-level vampires, the vampires could have higher blood control abilities. Their biggest characteristic was that their vitality had greatly increased. They could also transform into vampire bats within a short period and could fly for a short period.

Chapter 368: Blood Slave
"I don't think we need them anymore."
Emilia was thinking about something.
High-level vampires possessed powerful energy. Rashly entering the passage would cause the passage to become chaotic or even collapse.
It would take some time for the time passage to stabilize. Only then would mid-level vampires be able to gradually enter the battlefield through the teleportation passage.
Sikong Mao walked forward and said, "Emilia, the Federation has completed locating the time passage and confirmed its location."
"20 minutes ago, a large number of Federation players entered the wilderness. The other anti-federation forces are working together to resist the invasion of the Federation army. They won't be able to hold on for long."
"Mr Sikong, according to our agreement, the safety of the time passage will be left to you. The follow-up support of the vampires will also come through the teleportation passage to join the frontline battlefield."
"Vampires are most suitable for fighting at night. Their combat power will be greatly weakened during the day. We can't waste time."
"Understood. I will protect the passage well."
Before leaving, Emilia glanced at Fang Heng.
"It's rare to see a player with such a pure bloodline and it happens to be in District 5. How did you do it, Fang Shuo?"
"Secret."
"Alright, Fang Shuo, I'm leaving now. Do you want to come?"
"I'm sorry, I don't like to participate in battles and I need to stay here to look after it."
Fang Heng pointed at the central time passage and shook his head. "It may break easily."
"What a pity. I still want to share fresh blood with you."
Emilia used her finger to brush her lips.
"Next time."
As she moved her gaze away from Fang Heng, Emilia's pupils were covered with a layer of silver.
Suddenly, Fang Heng felt a surge of blood.
All the vampires in the hall faced Emilia and knelt on one knee to show their submission.
After Emilia left the hall, the low-level vampires stood up and followed Emilia out of the main control room.
The departure of the vampires' army greatly reduced the pressure on the players.
With a large number of vampires present, they felt like they were prey.
The door of the teleportation passage was still open.
An endless stream of low-level vampires entered Zombie Apocalypse District 5 through the time passage.
The newly arrived vampires didn't stay in the hall. After stepping out of the time passage, they followed Emilia.
"The Federation will attack the research institute soon. I'll bring some people to set up guards outside. Su Jincheng, you'll be in charge of the research institute for the time being. If there's anything urgent, contact me."
A young man stood out. "Understood!"
"Units 3, 4, 5 and 6, follow me!"
"The rest of the members will enter emergency combat mode!"
"Yes!"
Fang Heng stood aside and watched as Sikong Mao led a large group of Night Owl organization players out of the main control room.
The opportunity that he had been waiting for was finally coming.
Just like Fang Heng's original plan.
After completely opening the teleportation passage, Sikong Mao had already begun to trust him.
Sikong Mao would leave the research institute to carry out the next step of his plan to destroy the Federation.
The interior of the research institute was empty. This was the best time for him to search for the first-generation meteorite!
Wait a little longer.
After Sikong Mao had completely left the research institute, he would go to the sixth basement to take a look.
To avoid being discovered, it was best to first turn off the internal surveillance of the research institute.
He had to think of a way.
Fang Heng focused his gaze on the few blood slaves in the room and fell into deep thought.
Vampires could control the blood slaves through the strength of their blood.
He also had the vampire bloodline. Could he control the blood slaves to do some work?
Fang Heng had a premonition that with the vampire bloodline, he could give some orders to the blood slaves.
The blood slaves' bodies stiffened. They sensed something and slowly raised their heads to look at Fang Heng. Their pupils emitted a turbid yellow light.
"Go."
Fang Heng made a mouth gesture and a layer of red light enveloped his pupils.
The blood slaves received Fang Heng's order and slowly walked toward the space tearing device in the centre of the hall.
[Hint: Due to your vampire bloodline, you have given an order to the blood slaves.]
[Hint: Your current vampire bloodline level is Level 7. You can control up to 20 blood slaves at the same time. Controlling the blood slaves will consume a small amount of mental strength.]
[Hint: The blood slaves can perform some tasks and basic operations, but they cannot perform operations such as producing or building.]
Success!
Fang Heng quickly checked the mission log.
There were a lot of restrictions on controlling the blood slaves. Not to mention the limited number, the blood slaves could not produce yet. They were not as useful as the zombie clones.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Parason, who had been paying attention to the operation of the stabilizer, was the first to notice the strange actions of the blood slaves. He shouted at them.
More than ten blood slaves turned a deaf ear to Parason's words and continued to walk toward the time passage stabilizer in the centre.
What the hell!
In his panic, Parason suddenly dared to rush forward and pull a blood slave.
"I said stop! Don't go near there!"
The blood slaves were grabbed and stopped on the spot. The remaining blood slaves continued to walk forward slowly.
"Hurry! Stop them!"
Parason was going crazy. He couldn't understand why these low-level blood slaves were so interested in the stabilizers.
Su Jincheng immediately ordered the players to help. "Hurry! Help Him! Stop those vampires!"
The players of the Night Owl organization went up one after another and blocked the blood slaves who were trying to get close to the stabilizer of the central teleportation passage.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Fang Heng walked to the main control console alone and looked through the internal information of the research institute.
Soon, Fang Heng found the internal structure of the research institute.
It was very strange. The structure only showed buildings on the first to sixth basements, and there was an automatic protection alarm device on the sixth basement. It could detect the intrusion of living beings and send out an alarm.
Fang Heng tried it but found that he could not directly turn off the alarm remotely.
After a careful check, it turned out that the sixth basement had a separate control system, which was controlled entirely in the sixth basement.
Fang Heng called up the research institute's internal surveillance system.
The surveillance system only reflected the situation on the pathway outside the laboratory in the sixth basement.
Fang Heng called up the surveillance system and counted them one by one.
There were already eight Night Owl organization players guarding the interior of the passage alone.
"The security is so tight... looks like I have to find another way to go to the sixth basement."
Fang Heng muttered softly and quickly came up with a plan.
He lightly tapped a few buttons on the main console and manually shut down the surveillance camera and video recording function in the research institute, emptying the recording.
After doing all this, Fang Heng opened the game log again.
At this time, the Lickers were entrenched in the ventilation duct.
It was up to them.
Under Fang Heng's control, two Lickers were rapidly climbing to the sixth basement of the research institute through the ventilation duct system in the shelter.
On the other side, Parason and the Night Owl organization players had to spend a lot of effort to control the blood slaves that had gone out of control.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
Parason was also baffled. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and nervously looked up at the big screen.
His gaze was focused on the various values of the teleportation stabilizer, afraid that something would suddenly go wrong with the teleportation stabilizer.
Fortunately, all the values were normal.

Chapter 369: Alert Triggered
"What's the situation in the passage?"
Su Jincheng was also nervous. He walked to Parason and asked.
"It's not bad."
Parason had just taken a breath and was about to say something.
The next second, the entire shelter sounded an alarm.
"Alert! Alert!"
"Unknown lifeform has been detected!"
"Alert! Alert!"
Su Jincheng's already tense nerves were triggered again. He asked loudly, "What's the situation?"
"It's an alert from the sixth basement. An unauthorized creature has been detected!"
A research personnel lowered his head to control the main control system. He was sweating profusely.
"Unauthorized creature? What's that?"
"I'm not sure, I'm still checking..."
"It's the Licker Invasion."
Fang Heng interrupted the conversation between the two and conveniently controlled the main control console. He switched the screen projection to a monitor on the sixth basement.
"Dong! Dong Dong!!"
On the screen, the ventilation duct's net was forcefully pushed open by the Lickers.
Two Lickers crawled out from the ventilation duct and quickly climbed along the wall.
In the corridor, two members of the Night Owl organization realized the zombie invasion and immediately pulled out their guns and fired.
"Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang!!"
The passage was narrow and the Lickers were immediately hit by a few bullets.
However, the bullets didn't stop the Lickers. They continued to move along the ceiling at an extremely fast speed and passed over the two players of the Night Owl organization.
"Not good! They're heading towards the central research room!"
Fang Heng once again switched to the surveillance screen, positioning the screen outside the research room in the sixth basement.
The four Night Owl organization players were ready for battle. They held their automatic rifles tightly in their hands and faced the corner of the passage.
"Shoosh!"
Two red shadows flashed past the corner.
"Bang Bang Bang!!! Bang Bang! Bang Bang!"
The four players pulled the trigger almost at the same time.
The Lickers kept changing its angle and flew along the wall towards the Night Owl player.
"They're coming!"
A flashbang was thrown out of the player's hand.
"Pa!"
A strong light flashed.
"Weng..."
The ultra-high frequency sound wave emitted by the flashbang was a great restraint on the Lickers.
Affected by the sound wave, the two Lickers lost their sense of direction and fell from the air.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Following that, the bullets landed on the two Lickers.
Su Jincheng stared at the screen.
The Lickers on the screen looked very familiar.
He thought of the group of Lickers he saw outside the Federation's shelter last night.
Vaguely, Su Jincheng noticed a red light appearing under the Lickers' skin.
"Oh no!"
Su Jincheng suddenly shouted, "Run!!!"
"Boom!!!"
He was still one step too late. The two Lickers' bodies exploded in the passage.
Red blood splashed out in all directions.
The four players were still quite far away. Two of them were unlucky, but the blood splashed on the silver mask.
Almost instantly, the thin layer of the silver mask was dissolved by the blood!
The blood stained the skin.
"Ah!!"
The two players immediately cried out in pain and subconsciously reached out to touch the silver mask.
The blood had dissolved a large part of their faces.
When their hands touched it, it was instantly a bloody mess!
"F*ck! Don't move! Don't touch the wound!"
The other two players were also shocked by the horrifying scene. They immediately took out the first aid spray, grabbed the struggling victims and sprayed wildly at the wounds.
Affected by the explosion, a large part of the passage was corroded by the Lickers' blood.
In front of the monitor screen, the players looked serious.
"The Lickers with the self-destruct ability is the same batch that we saw last night."
Sikong Mao was not here and Su Jincheng knew that he could not control the situation in front of him.
He forced himself to remain calm. He looked at Parason and asked, "Are they from the Federation?"
"I don't know. The Federation isn't that fast, right? And aren't they still dealing with the vampires outside? It doesn't make sense that they've already broken into the shelter..."
"Then where did they come from?"
"How do I know... Have you contacted Sikong Mao?"
"I've already contacted him. Due to the signal, I haven't received a reply yet."
"Then what should we do?"
Parason was very nervous. He was both shocked and afraid.
Fortunately, the two Lickers did not come towards the central stabilizer. Otherwise, once they self-destructed, the entire passage stabilizer would be paralyzed and the time passage would be destroyed!
Fang Heng pursed his lips and switched the big screen projection to the ventilation duct's exit.
"Both of you, now is not the time to argue. I don't think we should sit and wait for death. From the current situation, the Lickers entered the shelter through the ventilation duct as an entrance."
Fang Heng encouraged him at the right time, "There are no internal surveillance cameras in the laboratory on the sixth basement. Should we go there and check? It would be better to seal the ventilation duct's exit as well."
"And those wounded..."
After Fang Heng's reminder, Su Jincheng and Parason couldn't help but look at each other.
That's right!
The sixth basement!
That was the secret research room that Sikong Mao had specially set up. It was also part of this plan.
There must be no mistakes!
...
Su Jincheng gathered all his men and left a portion of the Night Owl players to guard the time passage. He brought another group of players and rushed to the sixth basement to provide support.
In the passage opening on the sixth basement, a few Night Owl players were guarding below the entrance of the ventilation duct that had been broken open. They aimed their muzzles at the opening of the ventilation duct and were on guard against Lickers who could jump out of the passage at any time.
"Have you checked them all?"
"I've roughly checked them, but the ventilation duct is very deep. I don't know where the Lickers invaded from."
One Night Owl player was still frightened. He shrunk his neck and carefully explained, "We can't climb into the ventilation duct and thoroughly check it."
Fang Heng followed Su Jincheng and the other players and raised his head to look at the ventilation duct entrance above.
It was dark inside the entrance.
The space inside the ventilation duct was narrow. It was troublesome for an ordinary person to turn around. If they met a Licker, they would be courting death.
Su Jincheng also realized the problem and frowned.
"Think of a way to seal it first. Seal the other ventilation duct openings as well."
"Yes!"
Fang Heng curled his lips and asked, "What's the situation in the laboratory? Is there a ventilation duct opening inside?"
"This, the security level in the laboratory is even higher. We don't know."
Su Jincheng's heart tightened again when he heard that.
"Let's go! Bring me to take a look!"
Su Jincheng brought everyone to the laboratory's door and verified their identities before opening the metal door.
Everything in the laboratory was safe and sound.
More than ten researchers raised their heads at the same time and looked at the people outside the door.
Seeing the scene in the laboratory, Fang Heng's pupils suddenly constricted.
This...
Cultivation pods?!
More than half of the entire sixth basement laboratory was occupied by large cultivation pods.
Many researchers were doing data calculations around the cultivation pods.
Fang Heng had a rough look and there were at least 40 of them.
More importantly, Fang Heng found that these cultivation pods were extremely familiar!

Chapter 370: Cultivation Pod
Could it be...
Fang Heng's heart pounded wildly.
"There's been an accident on the sixth basement. We need to check it out. It'll be quick. "
Su Jincheng waved his hand as he spoke. The Night Owl players behind him rushed into the room one after another and began to check every corner of the room.
Fang Heng carefully walked to the front of the cultivation pod and observed it.
Inside the cultivation pod, a Tyrant form was soaking in a special solution.
Fang Heng was ecstatic.
Wasn't that the Tyrant form evolution device that he had found in Meteorite Company in Pine City?
Back then, he had used the same device to evolve a normal zombie clone into a Tyrant form!
The Night Owl organization had actually achieved such a step and could create infinite controllable Tyrant forms?
Fang Heng's heart was perturbed. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the evolution device.
A series of game hints appeared in his vision.
"Item: Tyrant T103's cultivation pod (mass-produced) . "
"It's him, all right!" Fang Heng thought.
His heart was getting more and more excited.
Fang Heng once again looked around the entire laboratory.
There were a total of 42 Tyrant form evolution devices!
Based on the 30% success rate, there should be at least 10 Tyrant forms that could successfully complete the evolution.
If he was greedy enough, he could think of a way to leave a mechanical cultivation pod and fusion culture fluid and bring them all back for research!
With the evolution device, he could definitely greatly increase the speed of experimentation on Tyrant forms!
"Fang Shuo, what do you think? Isn't it amazing? "
When Parason saw Fang Heng standing in front of the Tyrant form cultivation pods, he also walked over and stood beside him.
"This is a Tyrant form cultivation pod? "
Parason, feeling quite proud, nodded and said, "Yes, this is a secret of our research institute. Don't leak it out. "
"But why are there so many? You can already mass produce them yourself? "
"We only did some repairs. Mr. Sikong was the one who got people to collect these. "
Parason put his hand on the cultivation pod and explained, "Over the years, Mr. Sikong has been trying to use his special talent skill to control the Tyrants. "
"Talent? His talent is to control zombies? "
Fang Heng was very surprised to find out that there was someone with similar talent to him.
He thought of the group of zombies that attacked the federal shelter the night before.
Was that group of zombies controlled by Sikong Mao?
"It's not exactly controlling. Mr. Sikong's special talent can temporarily control the hatred of the zombie team and make them cooperate to attack the Federation army team. Coincidentally, the Tyrant forms are products of Meteorite Company's biological weapon project. The company has been trying to control Tyrant forms through spirit. We have done many experiments to modify the Tyrant forms. Only the combination of the Tyrant forms and Mr. Sikong Mao's talent skill has shown considerable effectiveness. "
Parason continued, "Currently, Mr. Sikong can already control the Tyrant forms within a short period of time and give more complicated battle orders to them. Unfortunately, due to the influence of mental strength, after controlling the Tyrant forms for a short period of time, they will still enter a rampage state and can only be considered. So, they are just half-finished products for one-time experiments. It took us eight years to gather this batch of Tyrant forms. "
"Impressive. "
Despite his praise, Fang Heng didn't feel particularly amazed.
It sounded like Sikong Mao's ability was much weaker than his own, so he was relieved.
Fang Heng shifted his gaze to a large room behind the laboratory that was separated by a glass door.
There was no one in the room, and there were five giant empty coffins.
"What about those? What's in the coffins? "
Parason followed Fang Heng to the front of the glass.
"Giant zombies are placed inside. "
"Giant zombies? Tier 5 mutated zombies? "
Fang Heng was shocked once again.
Then, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic, thinking that the research institute was basically a treasure trove!
The night before, he didn't manage to get a live sample of a giant zombie, so he felt shortchanged.
But now, an opportunity was here!
He didn't need the live sample anymore. He just needed to bring the whole frozen giant zombie back!
But, how could he bring back such a big giant zombie?
For a moment, Fang Heng was a little troubled.
He really wanted to move the entire research institute back.
Parason couldn't see Fang Heng's happiness under the mask. Seeing that Fang Heng didn't say anything for a long time, he thought that Fang Heng was shocked by the five giant zombies.
He felt that although Fang Heng was very good at mechanical maintenance, he was still an amateur in zombie research.
The laboratory on the sixth basement was the result of the hard work of Parason over the years. He couldn't help but want to show off in front of Fang Heng.
"Well, to tell you the truth, we spent a lot of effort collecting these giant zombies over the years, especially putting them into hibernation mode. It's a very troublesome process. "
Fang Heng keenly sensed something. Inwardly, he mused, "Wait. A Tier 5 zombie is extremely powerful. How did Night Owl manage to put the Tier 5 zombies into hibernation mode? "
Fang Heng immediately asked, "How did you do that? "
"It was through the initial... "
Parason's words were about to come out of his mouth, but he suddenly froze.
"Ignore what I said, Mr. Fang Shuo. I'm sorry. This is our organization's internal secret. "
"It's okay. I understand. "
Fang Heng waved his hand, feeling a little disappointed. He pretended to have no ulterior motives and said, "I overstepped my boundaries. "
Parason uttered, "Originally, there were eight giant zombies here. We lost three in the previous operation, and now, there are only five left. They are currently frozen. Mr. Sikong said that if the Tyrants alone can not resist the Federation, we will thaw the giant zombies. Then, Mr. Sikong will use his special ability to shift the hatred and use them to stop the Federation. "
"I didn't expect Mr. Sikong to be able to control Tier 5 mutated zombies. He probably possesses an S-level talent, right? "
"That's right. "
While they were talking, Su Jincheng and the Night Owl players had already carefully searched the interior of the laboratory in the sixth basement.
"There's no sign of an invasion, and we haven't found any ventilation ducts that connect to the outside. "
"Okay. "
Su Jincheng finally let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Parason and Fang Heng.
"We've contacted Mr. Sikong. He wants us to return to the teleportation passage immediately. "
"I'll handle the Licker inside the ventilation duct. "
"Wait a minute. What about behind that door? Are you sure you guys don't want to check it out? "
Fang Heng pointed at a metal door at the back of the laboratory and walked toward it.
He had noticed the metal door a long time ago.
"Don't. "
Parason quickly took two steps forward to stop Fang Heng. "Don't open that door. "
"Why? "
"Don't ask. There's nothing inside. Let's go back quickly. Ever since Mr. Sikong left, my heart has been pounding. I keep feeling like something is going to happen. "
"All right. "
Fang Heng shrugged and no longer insisted. He left the laboratory in the sixth basement with the others.
Before leaving, Fang Heng took one last look at the heavy metal door.
The surface of the metal door seemed matte, hinting that it was made of a special alloy, one that was used to
It seemed to be used to prevent radiation from spreading.

"Ruoruo, the head of the Xiao family happens to be out of town these two days. He won't be back until two days later. "
"Mr. Sun, here. This is the present I brought for you when I went on a trip to the capital last week. These are for Mdm. Zhang, Mr. Li, and Mdm. Chen. "
Xiao Ruoruo handed over a few beautifully wrapped gifts with both hands.
"Ruoruo, you're too kind. I'll have Mdm. Zhang cook something delicious for you tonight. "
"Thank you, Mr. Sun. I'm craving steamed chicken. "
"Okay. I'll take you to the guest room first. "
Butler Sun liked Xiao Ruoruo very much. He led her to the guest room to rest.
"Hmm? Mr. Sun, am I not staying in Room No. 3 this time? "
"The guest room on the east side is occupied. It's not appropriate for men and women to live in proximity. This time, I've arranged for you to stay in the guest room on the west side. "
"Huh? Are there other guests? "
"Yes, it is the family head's guest and also a friend of Mr. Mo Jiawei. "
"Mr. Mo? "
Xiao Ruoruo was a little surprised.
She and Mo Jiawei had played together since they were young.
She remembered that Mo Jiawei loved to play, but he almost never brought his friends to his house.
"But, why would Mr.Mo's friend be staying here? "
Xiao Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is he here to borrow books like me? "
"Yes, Mr. Fang has been staying here for quite some time. "
"Oh. Is he learning Occult as well? Can I ask him for advice? "
"Well... I think it's better not to. "
Butler Sun pondered for a moment and sighed silently in his heart. Exasperated, he thought, "It's better not to ask Fang Heng for advice and learn stuff you shouldn't. "
"We're here, Ruoruo. This is Room No. 8. "
Bringing Xiao Ruoruo into the room, Butler Sun unconsciously frowned.
There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window by the side of the garden in the room. Originally, they would have been able to see the small bridge and flowing water in the garden through the window.
But now, they could only see piles of broken stones beside the small bridge and flowing water.
It was a failed surprise.
"This is... "
Xiao Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and she covered her mouth in surprise.
Butler Sun felt his head throb.
"Ruo Ruo, sorry that you had to see this. These stones were temporarily stored there by the guest in Room No. 2. He said that they were of high value. I've already told him that I will soon send someone to move these broken stones away. "
"Butler Sun, are you serious? "
Xiao Ruoruo's gaze stopped on those so-called broken stones.
"Those aren't broken stones. Those are all raw blue crystal ores. "
"Huh? What ores? "
Xiao Ruoruo uttered with a hint of excitement in her voice, "In Occult, raw blue crystal ores contain natural energy. They're very rare. Although they don't contain much natural energy, they have a very high research value. "
Butler Sun was at a loss. He saw that Xiao Ruoruo's little face was red.
"Oh, I forgot. Mr. Sun doesn't know Occult. I'll go over and take a look. "
Xiao Ruoruo hadn't seen the raw blue crystal ores with her own eyes. She ran straight to the back garden.
Butler Sun was confused. He didn't understand young people nowadays.
"No Way. Could it really be some precious ore? " he thought.
...
At 10:30 p.m., a great battle broke out in District Five.
Vampires invaded!
In the command room of Zombie Apocalypse District 5, the federation players were in a terrible state.
Urgent reports were made one after another to Qian Yuan.
"Reporting! Shelter No. 1 has been attacked by a large number of vampires! "
"Reporting! Shelters No. 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have been attacked by vampires! "
"Reporting! Shelter No. 1 has sent a request for help. It can last another 20 minutes at most. "
In the game, reports of various shelters being attacked kept ringing out.
One bad news after another caused the atmosphere in the hall to drop to a freezing point.
Qian Yuan's face was extremely gloomy.
Request for help?
Where to ask for help?
Could it be to ask for help in the high-dimensional game?
They could only rely on themselves in the Invasion War of the world.
However, as the chief commander, Qian Yuan could not say such words to hurt the team's morale.
"Tell the people of Shelter No. 1 to retreat. The reinforcements from the western region, the northern region, and the southern region are already on their way. Hold up against this wave and counterattack tomorrow morning. "
They relied on the other three regions to replenish their player forces, and the reinforcements from the vampires were also pouring into the battlefield.
However, Qian Yuan knew very well that fighting on home ground guaranteed victory of the Federation.
The Federation could not afford to lose.
If they failed, the entire District 5 would fall into the hands of the anti-federation forces.
Qian Yuan thought that the only chance to kill was in the time passage.
As long as they could destroy the time passage, the backup troops of the vampires would not be able to reach the battlefield.
Qian Yuan had already made a plan in the first instance. All the elite teams in District 5 of the Federation had been sent out to destroy the time passage.
Destroying the passage was key to victory.
Meanwhile, inside the main control room of District 5's research institute, the time passage was still in operation.
An endless stream of low-level vampires entered District 5 through the teleportation passage and headed to the battlefield on the front line.
Fang Heng stood in front of the command station. He seemed to be observing the situation outside, but in fact, he was using the game log to control the zombie team.
The ventilation duct inside the research institute was directly connected to the sewer.
The sewer was connected to the outside of the research institute.
Even though Night Owl had already set up a defense and sealed a few connecting points in advance, it didn't make things difficult for Fang Heng.
He spent some time getting the zombie clones to dig at the sealed passages again.
Outside, Night Owl and the federal forces were fighting for their lives. They didn't have the time to bother with the small zombie team that was staggering toward the sewer under the night sky.
Ever since Fang Heng saw the Tyrant form cultivation pods in the sixth basement a few hours ago, he grew greedy.
There were a total of 42 Tyrant form cultivation pods. Taking that into consideration, he didn't have enough vine zombies.
From the morning until now, it took more than ten hours for the vine zombies to reach the sewer.
Next, Fang Heng had them enter the ventilation duct through the sewer, climb to the second floor to get tools, and then climb back to the sixth basement.
Fang Heng was controlling the zombie team from a distance when he suddenly sense something.
Fang Heng turned around and looked toward the time passage, narrowing his eyes.
He could feel that the approaching vampires were stronger than the low-level vampires from before.
"Mid-level vampires... " Fang Heng muttered to himself.
The time passage began to stabilize after running for a while.
The mid-level vampires also began to pass through the passage.
Fang Heng looked away and lowered his head to observe the situation outside through the surveillance monitors.
Outside the shelter, the Night Owl organization had already fought with the Federation elites.
The weapons and equipment of the Federation were more advanced, and their players' physiques were better.
However, Sikong Mao's side had long been prepared for battle. They had the geographical advantage of the research institute being behind them. Besides, it was nighttime, adding to the Federation's disadvantage.
The battle had entered its climax.
However, Fang Heng was well-aware of the situation.
The Federation did not bring about any real threat to the research institute, and Sikong Mao had not even revealed his trump card.
However, at the very least, the Federation had given Sikong Mao a certain amount of pressure, forcing him to direct his attention away from inside the research institute.
It was time to make a move!

Chapter 372: Secret Plan
Fang Heng opened the game log.
The vine zombie team had successfully entered the ventilation duct and was heading to the storage room on the second floor.
Fang Heng glanced at Su Jincheng, who was a little anxious.
Su Jincheng had been worried about the Licker in the ventilation duct. He was barely holding his uneasiness in.
Seeing that, Fang Heng immediately controlled the zombie team hidden in the ventilation duct to gather at the control center hall in the third basement.
"Alert! Alert! Unknown creature has been detected! "
Soon, another ear-piercing alarm sounded in the main control room.
Su Jincheng's heart was in his throat. He stood up from his seat with a whoosh.
"What's going on? ! "
"Lickersa! A large number of Lickers detected! "
The researcher's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked panicked.
On the surveillance monitors, more than ten Lickers crawled out of the broken ventilation duct!
Earlier, there were only two Lickers, and they had already caused so much trouble.
"Not good! They are coming toward our main control room! "
"Quick! Gather all of the teams! " Su Jincheng immediately ordered.
What was bound to come had come!
It had been three hours since anything had happened. Su Jincheng was still trying to convince himself that what had just happened was just an accident. Who knew that as soon as he relaxed, a large number of Lickers appeared.
"Stop them! We must not let them destroy the teleportation passage! "
Fang Heng turned to look at Su Jincheng and reminded him calmly, "Mr. Su, I suggest that you don't let the Lickers break into the main control room. From the surveillance footage just now, after the Lickers self-destruct, their highly corrosive blood spews over a wide range. A slight corrosion could cause damage to the stabilizer and affect the normal operation of the teleportation passage. "
"D*mn it! Parason, come with me! "
Su Jincheng clearly realized how tricky the situation was. He quickly counted his men and personally led them to guard the passage entrance.
Parason was scared to death, but he still followed the team out to check the situation.
Instantly, there were only five Night Owl players and three NPC researcher survivors left in the main control room.
The researchers were busy in front of the command station while the five Night Owl players were guarding the entrance of the main control room.
However, their minds were mostly focused on the big screen in the control room.
The big screen was playing the surveillance footage of the various passages in the third basement.
"There's a fluctuation in the stabilizer's energy. You guys, quickly go and check the operation of the stabilizer! " Fang Heng found a random excuse to send the three NPC researcher survivors away.
"Yes! "
He then walked to the main control platform.
Clearing his throat, Fang Heng pressed the loudspeaker button for the sixth basement.
"Warning! Lickers detected! Attention, large numbers of Lickers have been detected approaching the sixth basement. Estimated arrival in five minutes. Please protect and help evacuate the researchers to the research personnel lounge in the fifth basement. The ventilation duct on the fifth basement has been cleaned and reinforced. Before receiving new orders, please protect the research personnel and guard the passage to the fifth basement. "
Fang Heng continued, "I repeat! Warning! Lickers detected... "
In the sixth basement, four Night Owl organization players who were standing guard heard the warning from the loudspeaker and immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
They had limited manpower, to begin with. Not long ago, two of them were injured, and then four more were transferred away. Currently, only they, the last four players, were left to guard the passage on the sixth basement.
They were alone, yet they were about to engage a large number of Lickers.
How could they survive?
Sacrificing for their ideals was one thing, but throwing their lives away for nothing was another.
Hearing sounds coming from the ceiling, the few of them subconsciously raised their heads.
Something was climbing in the ventilation duct above the ceiling!
It was obviously a Licker!
"Hurry up! Take the research personnel to the fifth basement! "
"Let's go! "
"Hurry up and retreat! "
The Night Owl players never suspected that it could be a false order. They immediately used the magnetic card to open the door of the secret laboratory and evacuate the research personnel.
Through the surveillance monitors, Fang Heng had been monitoring the sixth basement players' every move.
Looking at the players quickly retreating, Fang Heng could not help but exclaim in awe. "Heh, they retreated quite quickly. "
Upon seeing that the Night Owl players had led the research personnel and evacuated from the sixth basement, Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and immediately entered a string of commands into the command station.
Meanwhile, the four Night Owl players had just managed to escape from the sixth basement to the fifth basement alongside the research personnel.
Before they could catch their breaths, they heard a loud sound from the passage entrance to the fifth basement.
Turning back, they saw that the iron gate at the end of the passage was closed.
What happened?
Why was the iron gate of the passage closed?
The Night Owl players looked at each other in dismay, and the remaining NPC researchers also became nervous.
A player thought of something. She looked at the surveillance camera facing everyone and said, "Don't be nervous. The iron gate was probably closed to protect us, to prevent the Lickers from breaking in from the sixth basement. We'll just wait here for support. "
The players felt that it made sense.
However, in the next second, they heard a familiar shuffling sound.
"A licker? ! " they thought unanimously.
The sound, akin to a life-threatening curse, made the faces of the players change again. They raised their guns and aimed in the direction of the sound.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The net of the ventilation duct in the corner was instantly broken.
A few red figures darted out from the opening of the duct.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The reaction speed of the Night Owl organization's players was much faster than that of ordinary players!
Almost instantly, four players opened fire at the same time.
Hum...
They threw a flashbang forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The four players raised their submachine guns and kept firing at the Lickers.
However, there were too many Lickers!
The Lickers kept coming out from the passage entrance. The Night Owl players realized in despair that even if they used flashbangs, their damage output was not enough to kill the Lickers!
They wanted to escape, but their only escape route, the iron gate, was closed.
It was over.
For a moment, all the players felt despair rising in their hearts.
After recovering their senses, the Lickers pounced at the players again.
...
Three minutes later, the fifth basement fell into silence once again.
"Mr. Fang Shuo, we've checked all aspects of the stabilizer. There's no problem! "
Without even turning his head, Fang Heng answered, "No! The data is still wrong! Check it again! Check it carefully! "
"Yes! "
Fang Heng continued to control the zombie team in the fifth basement to drag the corpses into the ventilation duct and clean up the crime scene.
"Okay, I've found the problem. Come back, all of you. "
The NPC researchers didn't know what was going on. They simply listened to Fang Heng's command and walked back one by one, continuing to operate the main control platform.
No one realized what had happened in the short ten minutes.
Finally, Fang Heng raised his head and glanced at the few Night Owl players in the main control room. He then quietly left the main control room.

Chapter 373: Cultivation by Batch
Fang Heng took the elevator to the sixth basement.
He was blocked by the alloy metal gate of the laboratory at the end of the passage.
Crack, crack...
The ventilation system on the ceiling of the passage behind him was broken again.
Crack, crack...
One after another, a large number of vine zombies holding iron shovels and hammers fell from the top.
They slowly stood up and scattered on the spot.
A zombie staggered to Fang Heng's side and handed him a blood-stained magnetic ID card.
The ID card was earlier found on a researcher on the fifth basement.
Fang Heng took the card and scanned it on the card reader.
"Beep Beep Beep... ID verified. Welcome, Dr. Liu. "
The alloy metal gate opened in front of Fang Heng.
Fang Heng stepped into the laboratory.
"Ha, I'm coming for you, babe. "
Fang Heng was in a good mood when he saw the laboratory filled with Tyrant form cultivation pods.
Previously, he had lured the players and NPCs from the sixth basement into the fifth basement to kill them. While he did it to prevent triggering the alarm of the sixth basement, Fang Heng was more worried that the battle would result in the destruction of the cultivation pods.
Since they could be used to create Tyrants, even the destruction of one would make Fang Heng feel pained.
Fang Heng walked forward and extended his hand to touch a Tyrant form cultivation pod.
"Item: Tyrant T103's cultivation pod (mass-produced) . Hint: this cultivation pod is in operation. Cultivation completion rate: 90% . A catalyst can be used to accelerate cultivation. "
Fang Heng walked to the experimental command station at the side.
He had learned about the operation of Tyrant T103's cultivation pod (mass-produced) when he was in Pine City.
In fact, he had even personally practiced operating it.
The Tyrant forms in the cultivation pods had yet to fully take shape. When the pods were first designed, Meteorite Company had set up an emergency cancellation feature in them for safety reasons.
Once the feature was activated, an special anti-virus liquid would be injected, and those half-finished products could be easily killed.
Fang Heng skillfully entered a string of commands on the experimental command station.
Buzz... Ka Ka Ka...
The 42 Tyrant form cultivation pods' emergency cancellation features were activated at the same time.
The pale yellow liquid in the cultivation pods was slowly extracted, and green anti-virus liquid was poured into them.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
A series of bubbles emerged from the Tyrant forms' bodies that were soaked in the green liquid.
Their originally strong bodies rapidly dissolved in the green liquid.
"Hint: you have activated the Tyrant T103's cultivation pod (mass-produced) 's emergency cancellation feature. The Tyrant forms in cultivation have died. "
Fang Heng reached out and pressed the red button.
The green liquid in the cultivation pods was extracted again.
Bang! Bang Bang!
When the liquid was drained, the cultivation pod doors opened automatically one after another.
"It's your turn. "
As Fang Heng spoke, the vine zombies standing beside Fang Heng walked forward one by one. They removed the zombies that had been deeply decomposed from the cultivation pods and walked into the cultivation pods.
"I hope I'm lucky enough to get more Tyrant form zombies this time. " Fang Heng rubbed his hands nervously.
"Damn it, I wish Old Mr. Mo was here. "
While talking to himself, Fang Heng pressed the red button.
Bang!
The pod doors closed again.
With the injection of the yellow viral nutrient solution, rows of game hints appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
"Hint: your zombie clone is experiencing abnormality. "
"Hint: Your zombie clone is attempting to undergo an even more high-tier transformation. "
"Hint: authentication completed. Currently, you can only target your zombie clone. Transformation can not be used on a proliferator. "
"Hint: current transformation success rate: 31% . "
"Hint: current remaining transformation time: 300 hours. "
"Hint: you can use up survival points to greatly reduce the transformation time. "
"Hint: detected that the zombie clone has undergone corpse vine transformation. Current transformation can be fused with the original transformation at the same time. Estimated fusion level: low... "
"Hint: you can choose transformation overlay (after overlaying, the original corpse vine transformation's enhancement effect disappears) . Alternatively, you can choose fusion transformation (after fusion transformation is completed, the corpse vine transformation's effect will remain) . "
"Hint: current transformation overlay success rate: 31% ; current fusion transformation success rate: 17% . "
"Hint: after the transformation is completed, there is still a great risk. Player will need to spend additional survival points and evolution crystals to eliminate this risk. "
"Hint: because Tyrant T103's cultivation pod (mass-produced)'s evolution liquid has been specially modified, per Tyrant T103, you can additionally spend 1,000 survival points, twenty complete crystallization crystals, and one Tier 1 crystallization crystal to access the additional options available. Option 1 (highly-efficient evolution overlay) : transformation overlay success rate increases to 45%. No fusion transformation ability. Option 2 (highly-efficient fusion evolution) : fusion transformation success rate increases to 27% . No transformation overlay ability. "
Seeing the game hints that appeared, Fang Heng was stunned.
Those in Night Owl actually modified the Tyrant form cultivation pods' solution such that there were two different options to choose from for leveling up.
It was a pleasant surprise to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng felt that those in Night Owl were interesting, and he checked the explanation again.
The so-called transformation overlay was to transform the vine zombies into Tyrant form zombies, and the fusion transformation was to transform the vine zombies into a combination of Tyrant form and vine zombie.
Of course, Fang Heng was going to do things to the end and choose fusion transformation.
However, there was a problem. There were a total of 42 zombies that needed to be evolved.
Fang Heng's survival points were adequate, but where would he get the evolution crystals needed?
Just the first transformation required 840 complete crystallization crystals and 42 Tier 1 crystallization crystals.
Apart from that, after the fusion with the Tyrant forms was completed, Fang Heng would need to use Tier 1 evolution crystals to make the zombie clones' evolution permanent.
The crystallization crystals that he owned were all left in District 8. Currently, he only had three high-energy crystals which could not be put to use since he the number of required crystals were much higher.
At this juncture, where could he find evolution crystals?
Fang Heng scratched his hair in annoyance and narrowed his eyes.
There was no other way at the moment, so he could only bite the bullet and take some from the Night Owl players.
Fang Heng calculated in his heart for a moment, then returned to the main control room in the third basement.
...
In the main control room, a few Night Owl players stood guard at the entrance, but their eyes could not help but look at the big surveillance monitors, paying attention to the battle situation in the passage of the third basement.
The three NPC researchers were still focused on operating the main control platform and analyzing various data.
Fang Heng walked to the stabilizer and looked around.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Fang Heng kicked a weak part of the stabilizer.
Thud!
A faint sound was heard.
The next second, an ear-piercing alarm sounded once again throughout the entire third basement.
"Alert! The stabilizer of the space tearing device has been damaged! Its operating efficiency has decreased. Please repair it in time! "
Hearing the alarm, the players and NPCs in the main control room were shocked. They all turned their heads to look at the stabilizer and Fang Heng.
Fang Heng's expression was calm, and his voice was loud and clear.
"Don't panic. It's just a small problem. Leave it to me. All of you, stick to your assigned tasks! "
Even though Fang Heng did not have the authority to command, the few Night Owl players did not suspect Fang Heng's answer at all. They continued to stand guard at the entrance of the main control room.

Chapter 374: Excavation
In the passage, a fierce battle was going on.
Su Jincheng was about to be driven mad by those Lickers!
The group of Lickers shuttled through the passage and went around in circles, not attacking head-on.
After a long time, Su Jincheng and the few players he brought along didn't manage to kill any Lickers. Instead, they wasted a lot of ammunition.
Su Jincheng was unsettled by the Lickers.
He had no choice but to defend the entrance of the few main passages outside the control center hall.
After waiting for a while, he found that the surroundings were quiet. Su Jincheng thought that the Lickers had retreated, but just as he turned around to go back, they suddenly came out from the ventilation duct.
Parason was a support player. Most of the time, he hid at the back of the team and shivered.
He felt that it was still okay if the Lickers did not fight head-on.
After all, they might not be able to handle the Lickers charging over at the same time.
As he was lost in his thoughts, a sharp alarm sounded in the passage.
"Alert! The stabilizer of the space tearing device has been damaged! Its operating efficiency has decreased. Please repair it in time! "
"It's broken? Troubles are coming one after another," thought Parason as his eyelids twitched.
He stood up abruptly and was about to turn back to check when Lickers swarmed over at the passage entrance in front.
Almost instantly, the Night Owl players raised their guns and fired.
As gunshots rang out, Parason quickly hugged his head and squatted down, hiding behind a bunker.
When the gunshots stopped, Parason felt someone pat his shoulder.
"Fang Shuo? " Seeing the red mask on the person's face, Parazon asked anxiously, "What's the situation with the stabilizer? "
"Not too good. Do you have any evolution crystals? "
"Evolution crystals? " Hearing Fang Heng's words, Parason was stunned.
"The central part of the stabilizer for the space tearing device has been damaged. It probably won't be able to hold on for long. To completely solve this problem, we need to replace the converter. The manufacture of the converter parts requires a large number of evolution crystals. "
"Oh, so that's how it is. " When Parason heard Fang Heng's explanation, he did not doubt it.
Fang Heng's explanation was very logical. Coupled with his anxious tone, it appeared very realistic.
"I have some on me. I'll give them all to you. "
District 5 was an old server. The overall standard of the players was several grades higher than District 8. Tier 1 crystallization crystals were all publicly traded, so they were not considered particularly rare items.
Since they weren't heavy, Parason had a lot of crystals on him.
He immediately traded all the evolution crystals in his backpack to Fang Heng.
"Hint: you have obtained 2271 evolution crystal fragments, 588 complete crystallization crystals, and 57 Tier 1 evolution crystals. "
"Parason has quite a lot, " thought Fang Heng.
He calculated with his fingers and found that the evolution crystals provided by Parason were enough for the zombie clones to evolve.
However, after the initial evolution, Tier 1 evolution crystals were still needed for the stabilization of the evolution form. During the process, additional Tier 1 evolution crystals were needed.
"I'm still short of some Tier 1 evolution crystals. Do you have more? " asked Fang Heng.
"There should be some spare materials in the second basement's warehouse. However, there is a security lock at the door there. We need Su Jincheng to go over to unlock it. " Parason was distressed. "We can't go there in this situation. "
"Try to think of another way. I'll go back and temporarily strengthen the spacial rift stabilizer. It won't be able to hold on for long. We need to replace the stabilizer immediately. "
"I understand. I'll think of a way. "
Troubled, Parason carefully poked his head out and looked outside.
The Lickers that had just launched a surprise attack retreated.
After a round of battle, not a single Licker died, and a lot of bullets were wasted.
"I'll be going, " said Fang Heng.
"Hey! Be careful! " Parason turned his head, but before he could stop Fang Heng, the latter had already slipped through the other side of the passage and was quickly running back to the control center hall.
Parason, still in shock, thought Fang Heng was really stupid and bold to have run out despite the risk of a Licker appearing in the passage.
...
"Hint: player has consumed 42,000 survival points, 84 complete crystallization crystals, and 42 Tier 1 crystallization crystals to perform a zombie clone fusion transformation. Fusion transformation success rate: 27% . Consumption of survival points has shortened the time needed for evolution. "
Fang Heng still had a lot of points left, so he used a large amount to further shorten the time needed for evolution.
"Hint: player has consumed 124,000 survival points to accelerate the completion. Remaining time needed for evolution: 180 minutes. "
Gulp Gulp...
A series of bubbles emerged from the cultivation pods, and the zombie clones' bodies expanded like a beating heart.
"I must have as many successful fusion transformations as possible! " Fang Heng secretly prayed.
All that was left was to wait for three hours, and the transformation process would be done.
During that duration, Fang Heng thought he might as well think of a way to obtain the first-generation meteorite.
After that, he could quickly run away.
Fang Heng felt that he should not stay there for long. With the Federation and Night Owl fighting so vigorously, he might risk getting entangled in the mess.
Turning around, Fang Heng walked to the front of the alloy metal door at the back of the laboratory.
If his guess was correct, the metal door led to the seventh basement where the first-generation meteorite was probably hidden at.
Fang Heng tried to use the researcher's magnetic card to scan the card reader on the door.
"Beep Beep Beep... Access denied. "
As Fang Heng expected, he was unable to open the door.
He reached out and tried to push the heavy metal door again.
With a hammer, Fang Heng immediately acquired knowledge of the total durability of the metal door from the game log: 5.5 million.
However, every knock of the hammer only deducted 5 to 20 durability.
"Looks like I can only resort to that. "
Fang Heng controlled two vine zombie proliferators to walk to the door and fight each other.
When their HP dropped to 10% , they self-destructed.
A large amount of blood splashed on the metal door, and a white mist rose.
The metal door corroded, and its durability had dropped by nearly 800 points.
It was too little of a decrease.
Fang Heng did a rough calculation in his mind. Even if he self-detonated all the zombies he brought with him, he would not be able to open the metal door.
"What should I do? " Fang Heng mused as he suddenly thought of something. "I must be an idiot! "
Since he had confirmed the building layout and confirmed that the secret laboratory was directly below the sixth basement, he should just directly dig downward!
"Why should I try to knock down this metal door? "
Fang Heng took out the initial blueprint of the Meteorite Company for reference. Then, he controlled the zombie clones to gather in an inconspicuous corner of the laboratory.
The zombies took out the shovels that they had gotten from the storage room and started digging at the floor of the research room.
Fang Heng wasn't in a hurry to leave. He simply sat down on the spot. While supervising, he opened the game log and controlled the Lickers in the third basement to tease the players from the Night Owl organization.

Chapter 375: Meteorite
Ten minutes later.
The zombie team dug down about one meter.
Just then, a dull knocking sound echoed.
Fang Heng was alerted and stood up to look at the dug floor.
Beneath was a dark black layer of lead.
"It's lead! Lead effectively blocks radiation! The first-generation meteorite must be there, like I thought! "
Fang Heng felt a lot more at ease and continued to control the zombies to continue digging downward.
...
For a full 40 minutes, the zombies dug away while Fang Heng controlled the Lickers to play guerrilla with Su Jincheng and the Night Owl players.
Two game hints quickly flashed across Fang Heng's vision.
"Hint: you are currently exposed to a special radiation environment. As your physique is higher than 30 points, you are immune to the current radiation damage. "
"Hint: after being exposed to radiation for a long time, the radiation damage will gradually increase. "
"Is it done? " Fang Heng stood up and walked to the hole dug by the zombie team. He stuck his head out and looked down.
It was very dark down there, so the night vision effect of the vampires was not obvious. Fang Heng could only roughly tell that there was an empty hall down there.
Fang Heng did not want to waste time, so he commanded the two zombie clones to jump down first.
Not sensing any danger, Fang Heng jumped down as well.
Thud!
As soon as they landed, Fang Heng immediately smelled a thick, bloody smell.
Then, the sensor light in the hall lit up, illuminating the entire hall.
Fang Heng's pupils constricted immediately.
In the center of the room, a red meteorite that was almost as tall as a person was soaked in blood, facing Fang Heng.
Why is the first-generation meteorite soaked in blood? " Fang Heng thought as he carefully looked around.
The entire hall was empty aside from a pool with a radius of about five meters in the middle.
The pool was filled with dark red blood, with two-thirds of the first-generation meteorite submerged in it.
The scene in front of Fang Heng was a strange one.
He carefully walked forward.
Standing beside the blood pool, Fang Heng reached out his hand and touched the meteorite.
"Hint: you have found an item: first-generation meteorite. "
"Item: first-generation meteorite. "
"Description: a meteorite from an unknown source. Meteorite Company is rumored to have extracted the first-generation virus from the first-generation meteorite. This item is too big to fit in a backpack. It is a special mission item. "
"Hint: it has been detected that you possess the special talent Basic Occult (level 2) . You can use this skill to conduct occult analysis on the first-generation meteorite. "
The game hints that appeared made Fang Heng quickly withdraw his hand.
"What a suggestion. " Fang Heng was aware of the risks associated with occult analysis.
Occult analysis was often accompanied by extremely destructive power. It could potentially destroy the analytical product.
Fang Heng was not about to risk occult analysis ruining the first-generation meteorite he painstakingly found.
Retracting his hand, Fang Heng lowered his head to ponder.
"I've found the first-generation meteorite, but how do I bring it back? It's so huge. Also, why is it being soaked in blood? "
The mysterious setup seemed related to the vampires.
"Will there be serious consequences if I rashly take the meteorite out of the blood pool? "
For a moment, Fang Heng was a little hesitant.
"Should I just directly smash the meteorite and bring back a small piece of it to complete the mission? " he thought.
After all, the mission did not specify the size of the meteorite required.
However, the first-generation meteorite was very hard. It would not be so easy to break it open, so he needed to find some handy tools.
While he was thinking, a game hint surfaced on Fang Heng's retina.
"Hint: Your Licker clone has been attacked and successfully triggered its dodging ability. "
"Hint: Your Licker clone has been attacked, resulting in a severed limb. "
"Hint: Your Licker clone has been attacked. Its HP has reduced to 5%. Automatically triggering the skill to strengthen the body... "
Fang Heng was bewildered.
The trashy players from the Night Owl organization left in the research institute would definitely not be able to cause such great damage to the Lickers.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows, realizing that something must have gone wrong in the third basement.
He had to go back and take a look first!
Fang Heng controlled the Lickers to temporarily hide in the ventilation duct before taking the elevator back to the third basement.
The moment the elevator door opened, Fang Heng was met with a few vampires standing in the passage.
After discovering that Fang Heng was of the same race, they shifted their gazes away from Fang Heng.
"Vampires? They joined the battle, too? " Fang Heng's heart sank.
The vampires had entered the battlefield via a different passage. They took the time passage to District 5.
In order to avoid getting hated by the vampires, Fang Heng previously deliberately avoided them when controlling the Lickers.
Currently, there were many low-level vampires gathered in the passage to guard it.
Fang Heng returned to the control center hall by walking along the main passage.
In the control center hall, dozens of vampires stood around the edge of the hall's wall.
Parason was still knocking on the command station, befuddled.
After Sikong Mao left, the entire research institute became a mess. It was so chaotic that nobody noticed what happened in the sixth basement.
Fang Heng walked to Parason's side and asked in a low voice, "What's with these vampires? "
"I don't know. " Parason was also a little confused. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "We were fighting with the Lickers, and then a group of vampires came to support us. "
Parason looked to the right and said in a low voice, "The white-haired old man seems to be the leader. "
Fang Heng looked at the spot where Parason was looking at.
Su Jincheng was talking to an old vampire, who held a purple cane. The vampire's face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was gray.
Parason nudged Fang Heng and asked anxiously, "How is the stabilizer? "
"It's temporarily repaired. I estimate that it can last another seven to eight hours. To completely repair the stabilizer, we need more crystallization crystals to make a new converter. "
"I've talked to Su Jincheng. Later, he'll go to the storage room with you. There are still a lot of evolution crystals in reserve there. If you need any materials, just take them. "
As they spoke, Su Jincheng and the old vampire finished their conversation.
The former walked back to the two of them.
"What's the situation? What did they say? "
"That person claimed to be the elder of vampires, Dai Ze. He and Emilia don't belong to the same clan. "
Su Jincheng held his throbbing head.
"There will be a batch of very important materials sent over later. This group of vampires will look after them personally. "
Fang Heng was a little surprised.
"Important materials? As in, raw blue crystal ores? " he thought.
"They're here. "
Outside the main control room, the vampires opened a path. Seven or eight blood slaves laboriously moved a large box into the teleportation passage.
The elder of the vampires, Dai Ze, stood at the time passage entrance and watched the blood slaves move the materials expressionlessly.
Fang Heng thought it was strange that the vampires did not guard as heavily as when they previously transported raw blue crystal ores.
"Could it be some other more valuable materials and resources? " he wondered.
A steady stream of blood slaves slowly moved the boxes into the hall.
"Let's ignore them. Mr. Sikong wants us to heed the vampires' arrangements. "
Su Jincheng was a little unhappy. "It's better now that we have them to help guard the passage entrance. We don't need to worry about those troublesome Lickers. We just need to maintain the operation of the stabilizer. Fang Shuo, I'll take you to the storage room. "

Chapter 376: Counterattack
"Mid-tier vampires have invaded District 5. Several super-large shelters, including Shelters 1, 2, 5, 6, 12, and 13, have fallen. Player losses have yet to be counted. During the day, vampires are most vulnerable as their recovery abilities will be greatly reduced. They won't be able to use many special abilities during the day. Once the sun rises, we will immediately launch a counterattack. At the same time, we will attack the various shelter points and the research institute where the teleportation passage is located. In secret, we will carry out plan number two. We will form a special operations force to infiltrate the research institute and destroy the teleportation passage. Through the special tool we received as a reward during the last world war, Team Assembly Order, within 6 hours, we will be able to summon a special operations force to enter District 5. The force must have 5 to 8 Zombie Apocalypse players. "
In the conference hall of the Federation, a senior military officer was reporting the battle plan.
Qian Yuan pondered for a moment, raised his head, and asked, "How are we going about the player selection for the elite team? "
"The preliminary list of 11 players has been drawn up. Six of them are members of the Federation and are on standby. The remaining five are players who are in cooperation with us. We are currently communicating with them. The plan will be officially implemented in three hours. "
Qian Yuan went through the list of candidates again and saw a familiar name.
"Fang Heng? "
"Yes, Fang Heng has the ability to control Lickers. He was assessed to have S-level capabilities in Zombie Apocalypse. In addition, he also has a relatively higher mechanical maintenance level and a Tier 1 time teleportation equipment. He's very suitable for this mission. "
...
Fang Heng followed Su Jincheng back to the materials storage room on the second basement.
He opened his hand in front of the evolution crystals in the storage room.
"Hint: you have obtained 200 complete crystallization crystals and 100 Tier 1 evolution crystals. "
Since the funds of the Night Owl organization could be considered dirty money, Fang Heng did not hold back at all and took the crystals.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave. I still need some other replaceable parts. "
Fang Heng pulled Su Jincheng into the storage room, trying to find a suitable weapon to cut a small piece of the first-generation meteorite and bring it back.
"That vampire just now was a bit strange. What did Mr. Sikong say? "
Su Jincheng frowned. "Vampires also fight among themselves. Mr. Sikong didn't say anything. He just asked us to cooperate with the vampires. "
While they were talking, a few Lickers quickly entered the materials storage room.
"What about those boxes? What are they filled with? "
"I'm not sure. The boxes were all moved in from the outside. "
Fang Heng searched the storage room but didn't find anything that could break a meteorite. He could only put a few rare parts into his backpack.
"I'll go back to my room and make another converter. There are too many vampires in the control room. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on making it there, and I'm afraid that will affect the success rate. I suggest you go back and keep an eye on those vampires. There's something fishy about them. "
"Yes, I know. " Su Jincheng locked the storage room again and brought Fang Heng to the second basement.
"There's no need to send me off. "
"Okay. "
Fang Heng was alone at the elevator entrance. He turned around to look at the closing elevator door, then walked toward the abandoned warehouse outside the lounge.
After returning to the abandoned warehouse, Fang Heng jumped up and climbed into the ventilation duct.
...
Fang Heng followed the ventilation duct and climbed into the underground sewer. Only when he left the area of the research institute did he get out of range of the research institute's special magnetic field.
After exhausting so much effort, he could finally go offline!
Fang Heng left two Lickers behind to stand guard, threw down a sleeping bag on the spot, and went offline.
Returning to the real world, before Fang Heng had time to open the door of the game cabin, he heard the buzzing sound of a vibrating cell phone outside.
Coming out of the cabin door, Fang Heng picked up the cell phone on the table.
Was It Chen Yu?
Fang Heng picked up the phone. "Hello? "
"Fang Heng, this is Chen Yu speaking. It's an emergency. The following information is related to the confidentiality clause. You need to keep it a secret from the public. "
"Okay, speak. "
"District 5 is in big trouble! "
"Uh? "
Fang Heng thought to himself, "Things are just getting started. I haven't shown everything yet. Your Federation has to hold on. "
"Server 5 is currently under attack from the world of vampires. Night Owl has directly opened a special teleportation passage. This time, they are coming in huge numbers. Server 5 is in danger of being wiped out at any moment. "
"Hey, Chen Yu. "
"Huh? "
"To be honest, isn't it a little miserable of you guys to be overwhelmed by a small organization like Night Owl? "
"Fang Heng, I'm not joking with you. District 5 doesn't usually have many players, but if it becomes completely controlled by Night Owl... "
Chen Yu took a deep breath. He really couldn't laugh as the matter was too serious.
"We're currently forming a team to try and destroy the teleportation passage established by the vampires. You're also on the team's candidate list, and your ranking is high. If you agree to participate in this operation, I'll immediately report your name. "
"Me? You want me to transfer to Server 5? "
"No, there is no need to transfer. We have a short-term summoning scroll. It is an extremely rare item that can be used for short-term teleportation for six hours. Our Federation needs your help. The reward this time will definitely satisfy you. "
Hearing the word "reward", Fang Heng wavered.
"King of Gods' points? "
"Yes! "
"All right, I'll participate. "
"That's great. I'll immediately report your name. Also, if you use a scroll to summon yourself to a different server, the items in your backpack will be temporarily emptied. If you need any equipment, we'll try our best to prepare it. "
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
"Really? I need a high hardness cutting device, the kind that can cut through diamonds... "
Fang Heng pondered in his heart, "The hardness of the first-generation meteorite is extremely high. With a cutting device, it should be able to cut it open, shouldn't it? "
Chen Yu was stunned on the other end of the phone. For a moment, he even suspected that he had heard wrong.
"What? What did you say? "
"Cutting device. That kind of thing can cut through high-strength alloy metal doors. Do you understand what I mean? "
"That... "
Chen Yu felt a bit of a headache, but he still recorded Fang Heng's request.
"I'll think of a way. The team will set off in two and a half hours. Pay attention to the game log's hint. After receiving the hint, you must accept the request within five minutes. Otherwise, the assembly will be ineffective. "
"No problem. "
The problem of cutting through the meteorite was solved.
After hanging up, Fang Heng rubbed his wrist. He found the phone number previously left by Old Black and called him.
After two rings, Old Black picked up the phone.
"Fang Heng, good job. I have received news that the teleportation passage in District 5 has been opened ahead of schedule. Their plans were clearly going smoothly, but the research institute became a mess, and they were even invaded by Lickers. You must have found the first-generation meteorite, right? "
Fang Heng pursed his lips. "You guessed it again. "

Chapter 377: Re-Establishing the Plan
"Tell me, what problems are you facing? Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me personally, right? "
"Hahaha, listen to yourself. "
Fang Heng laughed.
"But seriously speaking, there's indeed a problem. The first-generation meteorite is too big. I can't bring it all back. Moreover, it's soaking in a blood pool. Do you know anything about the blood pool? "
"I'm not too sure about the blood pool. As for moving the meteorite... "
Old Black paused, then said, "Fang Heng, think about it. Is there really no way? Don't forget, your world also has time teleportation equipment. "
"What do you mean? "
"Change the structure of the stabilizer and adjust the teleportation coordinates to connect the other end of the Server 5's teleportation passage to Server 8's world. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right? "
Fang Heng was stunned, wondering if that was really possible.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed quite plausible.
If it was really possible, not only could the entire first-generation meteorite be transported back, but the five frozen Tier 5 giant zombies could also be taken away!
"Right, there's also a large number of blue energy crystals left in the hall! " Fang Heng thought, pleased.
"Fang Heng, I've already done what I promised you. Remember what you promised me. "
"I remember. So, what do you need me to do? "
"There's no rush. Let's talk about it after you bring the meteorite back. I wish you good luck. "
After hanging up, Fang Heng quickly thought about Old Black's plan and deemed it workable.
He modified and operated the space tearing stabilizing device, directly changing its path to Server 8.
In order to complete the plan, he needed Server 8's cooperation.
"It's going to be a big operation. "
Fang Heng immediately looked up Mo Jiawei's phone number.
In the middle of the night, Mo Jiawei was sleeping soundly. When he heard the phone ring, he picked it up.
"Old Mr. Mo? You're already asleep? "
"God, it's so late. Why did you call? "
"Wake up. It's time to work. We have something big to do. "
Mo Jiawei instantly woke up.
"Tell me the details. "
...
After communicating with Mo Jiawei about the next step of building the world passage, Fang Heng returned to the game again.
Taking the converter that he had casually made, Fang Heng rushed back to the main control room in the third basement.
Many vampires were gathered in the main control room.
As the teleportation passage could only be used one way at any given point, traffic was slow, and the blood slaves were stuck at the passage entrance for a long time.
Fang Heng looked around and saw that there were already a lot of boxes in the corner of the hall.
"Fang Shuo, how is it? " Parason saw Fang Heng coming back and quickly came over to ask.
"It's done. " Fang Heng raised his hand, showing the converter in his hand.
"That's great. " Parason heaved a huge sigh of relief.
"How's the situation outside? "
"It's fine. The Federation's attacks have started to weaken. I think they're waiting for daybreak. "
Fang Heng swept a glance at the large screen which showed the battle situation outside, then nodded and said, "I'll go repair the stabilizer. You continue to stay here at the monitoring platform. There might be a slight fluctuation in the stabilizer's data. "
"Okay. "
Fang Heng walked to the space tearing stabilizing device in the middle of the hall and pretended to change the middleware while secretly checking it.
The stabilizer was originally used for the world of vampires, and its various values had been adjusted.
But now, Fang Heng needed to transform it into an inter-world teleportation passage.
Fang Heng inwardly estimated that theoretically, the energy consumption of the stabilizer was one-third lower, and the requirements for the stabilizer's components were also one-quarter lower.
A line of game hints immediately appeared on his retina.
"Hint: player has level 18 mechanical mastery. Player has the current blueprint of the building. Estimated time to complete the customized modification will be 120 minutes. "
It seemed that there was no problem with the modification of the stabilizer.
"In addition to the modification of the stabilizer, there's also a need to change the parameters on the main control platform to connect to the world of Server 8. " Fang Heng turned his head and focused his gaze on the vampires in the hall before continuing, "There's also a need to get rid of these vampires! "
...
About two hours later, a message appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
"Hint: you have received a teleportation invitation from player Wu Xingwen. Do you accept it? "
"Hint: after accepting the invitation, you will be teleported to Server 5 of Zombie Apocalypse. The coordinates are (23190,52833) . After six hours, you will be teleported back to your original location. Remaining time for teleportation: 5 minutes. "
"I agree to teleport. "
In the storage room, Fang Heng reached out his hand and tapped on the "agree" button.
His body was enveloped by a dim yellow light, and Fang Heng instantly disappeared from where he was.
Outside the research institute that was occupied by the Night Owl organization, the Federation had set up a front-line position in the surroundings.
Six players entered the temporary tent through the teleportation scroll in succession.
Fang Heng quickly scanned the surroundings.
There were a total of eight people in the tent.
"Welcome. Everyone is here. I'm Wu Xingwen, the person in charge of this operation. My innate ability is close combat proficiency and long-range heavy weapon suppression. "
Wu Xingwen and the other four Federation members wore the same uniform. The five of them gathered together naturally.
"This is Chen Ziyang. He's good at controlling magnetic field efficacy and explosions. This is the research scientist of the vampires, Liu Huiying. She's good at setting up occult enchantments. The other two are temporary Federation fighters. They all have high-tier long-range heavy firepower suppression skills and the like. "
After the brief introduction, Wu Xingwen looked at the remaining three players.
"Time is limited. Each of you, please briefly introduce yourselves. "
The middle-aged man, who looked more experienced, nodded and said, "I'm Zhou Lei, and my talent skill is demon-hunting. I'm good at dealing with vampires. "
The chestnut-haired girl said, "Hello, everyone. My name is Nie Feiran. My ability is group teleportation. I can lead a group to carry out short-distance teleportation. The number of people can be between one to eight. There are also some special restrictions on teleportation, such as that some special rocks and metal layers cannot be penetrated. "
Immediately after, everyone looked at Fang Heng who was at the end.
"Me? "
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then said, "I have more friends, so it should be a good advantage. "
Hearing what Fang Heng said, the others instantly felt baffled.
"You mean Lickers, right? " Zhou Lei looked at Fang Heng and said, "I saw your video on the Internet. The Lickers you control are very powerful. "
"Thank you. " Fang Heng smiled.
Zhou Lei looked at Wu Xingwen. "Chief Wu, my talent skill is demon-hunting, but I don't have any attribute bonuses. The fact that I can't bring a tool into Server 5 has a big impact on my ability. Have you prepared everything I need? "
"We have tried our best and managed to get most of the items, but given the tight time limit, we missed out some. "
Wu Xingwen led Zhou Lei to a low table at the side.
"These are all the things we have gathered so far. "

Chapter 378: Infiltrating the Team
"A small part of the special silver bullets have been made by Liu Huiying. There aren't many of them, so we need to use them sparingly. "
Zhou Lei nodded and checked the materials on the low table one by one.
Soon, he picked up a holy scripture on the table, put his hand on the front of the scripture, and chanted.
A faint light appeared on Zhou Lei's palm.
Fang Heng looked at Zhou Lei curiously.
"With such a specialized talent skill like demon-hunting, why didn't he choose to go to Vampire Apocalypse instead? "
After Zhou Lei finished his prayer, he poured eight glasses of water.
"This is holy water after prayer. It has a certain restraining effect on vampires. Drinking it can reduce the damage of vampires to us. "
Everyone picked up their glasses and drank the water in one gulp.
Fang Heng also took a glass.
Before the liquid reached his mouth, Fang Heng instinctively resisted it.
"Oh, right. I'm also a vampire. " Fang Heng thought to himself and put the glass to the side.
Only Fang Heng did not drink the water. Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Ahem.
Fang Heng coughed lightly and explained, "I'm not good at fighting. I'm just a support player, so I won't be drinking it. "
Zhou Lei nodded, not forcing him to drink the holy water. He drank a bottle of ice cola to recover his strength. Then, he continued to make tools at the table.
Fang Heng yawned and asked, "Chief Wu, have you prepared what I asked for? "
"Yes. The thing you wanted is a little rare. I spent some effort on getting it. "
Wu Xingwen remembered Fang Heng as the latter's requested item had left a deep impression.
Although they did not know the true purpose of the stone cutter, the Federation still tried its best to satisfy Fang Heng's demand. They spent a lot of effort to get a cutter.
"Meteorite Company's large stone cutter model W-23 can only be used after it's been charged. "
Wu Xingwen took a 1.5-meter-long large cutter from his backpack and placed it heavily on the table.
"Also, this is a small generator and a regulator. "
Fang Heng walked to the table and picked up the large cutter, playing with it in front of his eyes.
"It's good stuff! With this, I can cut two pieces from the first-generation meteorite and put them into my backpack. One piece can be used for occult research, and the other piece can be kept as a sample, " he thought.
Fang Heng did not dare to guarantee the success of connecting the teleportation passage to Server 8.
Even if the plan failed, at least one of the first-generation meteorites could be brought back to complete the main storyline.
"This is great. With this stone cutter, our success rate for this mission will increase by at least half. "
"Stone cutter? " Nie Feiran came over curiously and looked at Fang Heng suspiciously. "Fang Heng, are you serious? Are you sure that it can help us with this mission? "
"Of course. Listen, this thing is very useful... "
Wu Xingwen looked at Fang Heng easily lifting the stone cutter with one hand, surprised.
He himself was a strength-based battle-type player.
After a long period of training by the Federation, he had absorbed a total of seven strength-related skill books. Only then could he easily lift the stone cutter with one hand.
Looking at how easily Fang Heng lifted it up, Wu Xingwen deduced that his strength attribute was definitely not low!
Therefore, Fang Heng's words about being a support player were a lie.
Perhaps he indeed had special uses for the stone cutter.
Wu Xingwen shifted his gaze away from Fang Heng.
"I'll interrupt everyone for a moment. Time is limited. Let me introduce the initial plan that will be carried out soon. There is still one hour and twelve minutes until daybreak. When daybreak breaks, the Federation will immediately launch an attack on the research institute. At that time, we will approach the research institute from the other side under the cover of the Federal sub-unit. Through Nie Feiran's group teleportation ability, we will directly pass through the research institute's external defense and teleport into the interior of the building. Then, we'll think of a way to destroy the teleportation passage. " Wu Xingwen roughly explained the plan. He then asked, "Do you have any questions or require any extra information? "
Amidst the silence, Fang Heng slowly raised his hand.
"Please speak. "
"Isn't the risk of directly breaking in a little too high? "
"Indeed, our plan is a risky one. After the subsequent teleportation into the research institute, we'll also have to play by ear. The time is tight, so we have no choice but to resort to this. " Wu Xingwen nodded. "Fang Heng, if you have a better plan, you can suggest it. "
"Actually, I have a friend who knows a little about the research institute. It is said that there is an underground sewer that leads to the research institute. "
"There is indeed an underground sewer that leads to the research institute, but we do not have the time to look for the entrance to the underground sewer now. Moreover, the evaluation team thinks that Night Owl has probably sealed all the entrances to the underground sewer. "
"It doesn't matter. My friend has his ways. He has already helped us break open the sealed sewer entrance. "
Wu Xingwen raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Fang Heng, what is your confidence level? "
"High. I guarantee to complete the mission. "
Wu Xingwen was swift and decisive. He quickly thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, then we'll do as you say. We'll sneak in directly through the sewer. Since we're using the underground sewer directly, then we don't have to wait until dawn. Let's set off now! "
...
In the darkness, everyone walked out of the temporary tent.
With the help of the Vampire Bloodline's night vision ability, Fang Heng finally realized the devastation of the battlefield outside.
At night, the vampires left the research institute. They ignored the Federation players in the periphery and headed straight for the battlefield at the front line.
Night Owl greatly looked down on the Federation.
The defense of the research institute was extremely strong. In addition, a large number of vampires were harassing them from the side. They had no way to break in. They could only hide in the temporary defensive line.
If they forcefully attacked, they would only suffer greater losses.
They could only hold their ground and clear out the vampires in the periphery. They were prepared to attack after daybreak.
"Follow me. "
Fang Heng's pupils were shrouded in a layer of red light.
After discerning the direction clearly under the night sky, Fang Heng led the players and rushed toward the entrance of the sewer.
Very soon, Fang Heng found the entrance to the sewer by the side of a stream.
Extremely experienced in moving around in the sewer, he took out a mask that was sprayed with perfume from his backpack and wore it on his face. He was the first to enter the sewer through the entrance.
The other players looked at each other and imitated Fang Heng. They made a face cloth and put it on their faces, then followed Fang Heng.
At first, they didn't sense anything odd. However, after following Fang Heng for a while, Wu Xingwen realized that Fang Heng seemed to be very familiar with the sewer, as if he had walked through it hundreds of times before.
Even stranger was the fact that not a single zombie appeared along the way.
Wu Xingwen, who had prepared himself for any unexpected situation forcing them into combat, found it very unusual.
"Fang Heng, is this your first time here? "
"Of course. "
Nie Feiran was also curious, so she asked, "But you seem to be very familiar with this place. "

Chapter 379: The Cutter
"Yes. I have a friend, and he is quite nice. When he knew that we were coming, he helped to clean up the area in advance, " said Fang Heng with a smile, as if indirectly expressing his vast personal network.
Fang Heng walked along the passage. After more than ten minutes, he stopped.
By now, the smelly sewer environment had affected Wu Xingwen and the others a little.
Wu Xingwen covered his mouth and nose and asked, "Have we reached the end? "
Fang Heng explained, "There are two routes that lead to the inside of the research institute. For the first route, another 15 miles beyond this wall and we can directly reach the research institute's second basement. For the second one, we can also continue forward along the sewer. Ten minutes later, we'll be able to see the ventilation duct that connects to the research institute. We can climb into the research institute through the duct. However, the ventilation duct is very small, and the internal passage is also very winding, so this route will be more time-consuming. "
The environment of the sewer was harsh. Wu Xingwen did not want to continue staying in there, so he looked at Nie Feiran.
Understanding Wu Xingwen's gaze, Nie Feriran pinched her nose and replied, "The maximum distance of a single teleportation is 20 meters. "
She walked to the wall and pressed her hand on the wall. "The wall is made of ordinary stone mixed with metal alloy. Group teleportation through this material composition is possible. "
"All right. Let's teleport in directly. "
Hearing that, everyone took out their guns and loaded their bullets. They checked their equipment and got ready for battle.
When everyone was ready, Wu Xingwen gestured to everyone.
"Three, two, one! Teleport! "
Fang Heng felt a white light flash in front of him.
The next second, he found himself in the passage of the first basement.
Snap!
Chen Ziyang snapped his fingers.
The surveillance cameras in the nearby passage were simultaneously affected by the magnetic field, and they were instantly disabled.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He gave Chen Ziyang a thumbs up. "This move is pretty cool. "
"So-so, " Chen Ziyang responded and took out his gun while wary of the surroundings.
There were no enemies in the passage that everyone had teleported to.
The infiltration was smooth beyond their expectations.
Fang Heng shrugged and consciously shrank back to the back of the team.
"Everyone, this is the best my friend can do. We'll have to rely on you guys for the rest. I'm not good at fighting. Judging from the location of the spatial rift stabilizer, the time passage probably connects from the third basement or the fourth basement. We'll start from the third basement and go through the floors one by one. "
Wu Xingwen looked at Nie Feiran and asked, "Can we directly teleport to the next basement? "
Nie Feiran drank a bottle of Red Bull that could quickly recover her mental strength and said, "Each teleportation will take 10 minutes. "
"I suggest we don't teleport. "
"Huh? " Everyone looked at Zhou Lei.
Zhou Lei had been frowning ever since he stepped into the research institute.
He explained, "I can sense that there are a large number of vampires in the lower levels. If we were to rashly teleport down, we would be surrounded by the vampires and be in a difficult situation. "
"What do you suggest we do? "
Liu Huiying suggested, "I can create a sealing formation that targets the vampires. We can lure the vampires into the inner part of the formation and activate the magic in it to trap them. We can use this to take down a large number of vampires. "
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that.
The group of players gathered by the Federation seemed to be pretty capable.
However, he wondered, "Would I be recognized as a target by the sealing formation, too? "
"All right. We'll do as you say. We'll split into two groups. I'll bring some people to guard the entrance of the second basement-"
"Ah! " Just as Wu Xingwen was assigning tasks, Fang Heng suddenly called out and interrupted him.
"What's wrong? " asked Wu Xingwen.
"I'm sorry. I think a few of my friends are calling me. I need to go into the ventilation duct to take a look. " Fang Heng pointed at the ventilation duct beside him. "I won't be of help here anyway. I'll take my leave first. "
Wu Xingwen frowned. He looked at the ventilation duct, unaware of what Fang Heng was up to. However, he had asked Chen Yu about Fang Heng in advance.
He heard that although Fang Heng would seem unconventional in going about tasks, he actually had deeper plans.
"Go and hurry back. "
"Of course, " Fang Heng agreed and skillfully slipped into the ventilation duct.
"Let's continue. "
The other players didn't know much about Fang Heng, so they didn't particularly feel his absence was a problem. Excluding Fang Heng, they quickly scattered to do their assigned tasks.
Liu Huiying and Zhou Lei worked together to set up a sealing formation against the vampires. Wu Xingwen took the remaining players to the entrance of the second basement and cleaned up the vampires along the way.
...
"The research institute has been infiltrated by the Federation. Parazon would probably discover them soon, right? I guess I'll have them fight the vampires first. " Fang Heng licked his lips and entered the sixth basement through the ventilation duct.
"Beep, beep, beep. Verification successful. Welcome back, Dr. Liu. "
Returning to the laboratory in the sixth basement, Fang Heng felt uneasy and carefully walked to the command station of the cultivation pod.
It was time to see his luck.
Fang Heng took a deep breath and pulled himself together. He reached out and pressed the red button.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
In the cultivation pod, the orange-yellow nutrient solution was quickly extracted.
Three lines of game hints showed on Fang Heng's retina.
"Hint: you have completed the cultivation of the Tyrant form. In total, there are 32 zombie clones (vine parasite) and 10 successful fusion transformations. "
"Hint: the current zombie clones (modified Tyrant form, modified vine parasite) are considered abnormal. For each clone, you can spend 15 thousand survival points and 3 Tier 1 evolution crystals to completely eliminate the risk of unstable clone conditions and solidify the current fusion transformation status. "
"Hint: after solidifying the clone, the clone will be able to maintain the Tyrant form and vine parasite fusion even in the situation of resurrection after death. "
The doors of the cultivation pods opened at the same time.
The zombies that had failed to evolve melted into a puddle of meat. The remaining ten newly born Tyrant forms stepped out of the pods and stood in a row behind Fang Heng, looking quite imposing.
A total of ten Tyrant forms with heightened combat ability had been added.
Fang Heng secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his head to do some calculations.
"Wait. The math doesn't add up. With 42 Tyrant forms, the success rate is 27% . In theory, I would completed 11.3 Tyrants. Damn it! There's one less! " Fang Heng muttered to himself about how his luck that day was not very good.
"I want to use points to complete solidification! "
"Hint: you have consumed 150 thousand survival points and 30 Tier 1 evolution crystals. Solidification of completed Tyrant forms is done. "
Fang Heng let the few Tyrant forms stay where they were, then jumped down into the hole in the floor that he had made before, entering the seventh basement again.
Clack.
As soon as he landed, the thick smell of blood once again stimulated Fang Heng's nostrils.
Raising his head, he saw the first-generation meteorite still quietly soaking in the blood pool.
Fang Heng walked forward, took out the cutter from his backpack, and connected it to the portable diesel generator.
"Hint: 20 strength points are required to operate the stone cutter. Player has met the conditions for using the stone cutter. "

Chapter 380: Meteorite Obtained
Fang Heng held the cutter with both hands and turned it on.
Bzz...
The cutting disc rotated at a high speed, emitting a loud sound.
Sparks flew in all directions.
The first-generation meteorite was extremely hard. It took Fang Heng a full two minutes to cut off a small protruding piece from the first-generation meteorite.
Fang Heng held it in his hand and examined it.
The small piece of the meteorite was only half the size of a fist.
Perhaps it was due to the heat emitted when cutting, but Fang Heng felt a burst of warmth from the meteorite.
"Hint: player has obtained a first-generation meteorite fragment. "
Item: first-generation meteorite fragment.
Description: the item contains a large amount of radiation. After putting it into a backpack, it will continue to produce a radiation effect, causing a negative effect on the body (as time goes by, the radiation effect will gradually increase) .
"Hint: you have completed the current main storyline (Server 8) : obtain the first-generation meteorite. "
"Hint: due to the insufficient amount of first-generation meteorite obtained, submitting the quest will receive a lower quest score and have a probability of affecting the subsequent main storylines. "
"Hint: you can collect more of the first-generation meteorite before submitting the quest. "
"I've succeeded! " Seeing the game hints, Fang Heng completely relaxed.
Using a roundabout way, he finally obtained the first-generation meteorite.
This time, he did not visit Server 5 in vain.
Fang Heng decided to cut off another piece and use occult skills to research it.
He shook his right hand, which was slightly numb from the earlier vibration of the cutter, before turning the cutter on again.
Since he had gotten the hang of it, the second cut only took a minute.
Fang Heng cut off a smaller piece from the first-generation meteorite.
"Hint: you have obtained 1 first-generation meteorite fragment. "
"Hint: it has been detected that you have a special skill: basic occult (level 2) . You can use this skill to analyze the first-generation meteorite through occult analysis. "
"Hint: this analysis consumes 280 survival points. "
"Commence the analysis! "
Bzz...
The rune mark on the back of Fang Heng's hand flashed once again.
The first-generation meteorite in Fang Heng's hand was pulled by an invisible strength, and once again, it floated in the air, shaking violently.
Fang Heng had a bad premonition and took half a step back.
Bang!
Just as Fang Heng had expected, the first-generation meteorite in the air instantly exploded.
"Tch, it really exploded. "
"Hint: you have used basic occult to analyze the first-generation meteorite for the first time. You have obtained 4873 basic experience points for the skill Occult. "
"Hint: your skill — basic occult — has been upgraded to level 11. "
"Such a huge jump? " The sudden increase in experience points surprised Fang Heng.
The first-generation meteorite was indeed a high-tier product.
Analyzing it at once was equivalent to reading a few skill books.
Fang Heng calmed himself down and continued to open the game log.
"Hint: through basic occult (level11) detection, no spiritual energy or mental energy was found in the first-generation meteorite. Violent biological fluctuation and mild natural energy fluctuation found. "
"Wait. There are worms in meteorites? " Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the cracks carefully.
In the cracks, where the first-generation meteorite was shattered, a few small gray worms were wriggling and struggling violently.
Exposed to the air, they looked extremely uncomfortable. They struggled crazily and soon lost their vitality.
"Hint: you have found an unknown worm life form. This life form has a large amount of life energy. "
"Meteorite... worm... " Fang Heng muttered to himself as he put away the first-generation meteorite fragment and left the seventh basement.
...
In the passage of the second basement.
Wu Xingwen led two Federation players as they ran along the passage.
Behind them, a group of vampires chased after them crazily.
After running around a corner, Wu Xingwen shouted at the top of his lungs, "Do it! "
In the middle of the passage of the second basement, Zhou Lei and Liu Huiying, who were kneeling on the ground, heard Wu Xingwen's shout. They reached out their hands at the center of the anti-demon seal formation under their feet at the same time, concentrating mental strength on it.
Swoosh!
The anti-demon seal formation was instantly activated, and a purple light flashed!
Red light spread out in all directions, and a thin layer of red mist rose up from the ground across more than half of the passage of the second basement.
The ground beneath the feet of the vampires who were on a chase in the second basement was shrouded by the mist, and it was as if they had fallen into a swamp.
The substance-like mist trapped all the vampires on the spot!
"Get rid of them! " Upon seeing this, Wu Xingwen and the two main damage dealers from the Federation no longer tried to escape. They turned around and took out the revolving machine gun from their backpacks. They assumed that the cannon was aimed at the vampires and fired wildly.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Large caliber bullets rained down crazily.
After more than ten minutes, the entire passage of the second basement was cleared of vampires.
"Are there many vampires left in the third basement? "
Zhou Lei tried to sense for a while and frowned. "Almost two-thirds of them have been cleaned up, but there is still a lot left... "
Chen Ziyang thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't we lure some of them over in batches? "
"Yes, the anti-demon seal formation can last for a while. "
"Okay! "
Wu Xingwen immediately gave a plan of action.
"We'll move to the third basement and think of a way to attract a wave of vampires to deal with them. If we encounter any danger, we'll immediately move back to the second basement! "
Everyone nodded in unison.
Liu Huiying thought of something and looked around.
"Where's Fang Heng? Isn't he back yet? "
"We won't be waiting for him. He has the ability to protect himself. Let's go first. "
After saying that, Wu Xingwen took the lead and rushed into the third basement.
Just as they stepped into the passage opening of the third basement, several low-level vampires charged forward.
"Back off. I'll take them on! " Wu Xingwen shouted loudly. The muscles on his right arm swelled in the blink of an eye and expanded by several points!
He clenched his fist and threw a punch forward.
Bang!
The five low-level vampires were sent flying by Wu Xingwen's punch and crashed into the wall behind them.
"Move! " Wu Xingwen took a step forward and wanted to rush forward.
"Wait! " Zhou Lei sensed something and reached out his hand to stop them from moving forward. He stared at the passage ahead.
A voice sounded, "I was wondering who it was. So it's a demon hunter... "
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw an old vampire with a cane slowly walk out around the corner of the other end of the passage.
"Since you've come, you can stay here forever. "
Zhou Lei held a demon-hunting talisman in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, it's the Marquis of the vampires. "
"I'll take him on! " Wu Xingwen strode forward and swung his fist at the old man.
A strong wind blew across Dai Ze's face, and he jumped far away with a tap of his toes on the ground. The movements of the old vampire Dai Ze appeared to be light, which did not match his body.
"Fool... " The old man raised his cane in the air and pointed it at Wu Xingwen.
Thump! Thump!
The moment he was hit by the cane, Wu Xingwen felt that the time around him seemed to have stopped for a moment. He heard two clear heartbeats in his ears.
It was as if something was gripping his heart hard.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Seeing that, Liu Huiying raised her gun and fired.
Silver bullets with a special anti-demon rune on it were shot out of the pistol.
Dai Ze had no choice but to put away his cane.
With light footsteps, he moved around in the limited space of the passage, dodging all the incoming bullets.

Chapter 381: Anti-vampire Formation
"Meeting the Marquis of the vampires here is troublesome. " Zhou Lei quickly calculated the next steps to take in his mind.
"Huh? Silver bullets? " Dai Ze snorted in disdain. "After so many years, is this still the only thing the demon hunters have? "
As he said that, Dai Ze raised the cane in his hand and slammed it heavily on the ground.
Thud!
The moment the cane landed on the ground, dark purple ripples that could be seen with the naked eye spread out in all directions.
"Sh*t! Quick... "
Liu Huiying's pupils constricted.
She had just opened her mouth and wanted to call out to the players when her feet were already covered by the purple glow.
The next moment, Liu Huiying entered a state of silence.
A line of game hints flashed in her eyes.
"Hint: you have entered a state of silence. You are unable to use any active skills, unable to use your backpack, and unable to speak. "
"Oh no! It's over! " Liu Huiying noticed that her other teammates had also entered a state of silence at the same time.
Zhou Lei's expression darkened. "That cane's one of the Thirteen Holy Artifacts! This is troublesome. In this state, we won't be able to teleport away. "
Wu Xingwen clenched his fists. He had a high explosive bomb on him. If he fought with all his might, he might be able to interrupt Dai Ze's spellcasting state.
Bang!
Just as everyone was thinking about how to escape, several ventilation duct openings in the corner of the wall were forced open!
Several red figures scuttled out of the ventilation duct. After landing on the ground, they pounced on the vampire elder, Dai Ze.
It was the Lickers. There was a chance to escape!
Whoosh!
Holding his cane, the old man continuously dodged and deftly avoided the attacks of the Lickers.
However, there were a dozen lickers that had scuttled out of the passage!
In such a narrow environment, Dai Ze had no way to dodge. He could only retrieve his cane, raise it again, and point it at a Licker.
Thud!
The walking stick lightly touched a Licker's forehead.
The Licker froze in midair for half a second.
Boom!
The Licker's body exploded!
The moment the cane in Dai Ze's hand left the ground, the silence spell immediately lost its effect.
"Quick! Teleport! " Nie Feiran immediately used her spatial skill.
A white light flashed, and Nie Feiran led the team in the passage to the second basement.
...
In the second basement, Zhou Lei felt as if he had run for thousands of meters. His entire body was drained of energy.
He sat on the ground, gulped down a mouthful of cola, and panted heavily.
Liu Huiying's face was also pale.
The silence spell cast by the vampire elder did not deal much damage to ordinary people, but it dealt a lot of damage to the two spirit-type players.
"Everyone, it seems that you have encountered some trouble. "
Looking at Fang Heng who poked his head out from the ventilation duct at the side, Chen Ziyang raised his hand. "Thank you. "
"Thank you to your friends, too. " Zhou Lei panted and continued, "Ordinary seals are only effective against ordinary vampires. Against that Marquis of the vampires, the seal here is barely effective. With him guarding the entrance, it will be difficult for us to go in and destroy the passage. "
Everyone fell into silence.
Ahem.
Fang Heng stretched out half of his body from the ventilation duct and raised his hand. "Everyone, I have a suggestion. "
"Huh? "
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Fang Heng who was lying in the ventilation duct.
"Fang Heng, why don't you come down first before talking? " Chen Ziyang felt that his stiff neck couldn't take looking up at the ventilation duct anymore.
"No, it's troublesome to crawl in and out. "
The anti-demon seal formation on the ground was still in operation. Fang Heng had a bad feeling about setting foot on it.
"Actually, I have a few relatively strong friends. They can think of a way to sneak me alone into the teleportation array. I can secretly go and destroy the teleportation array alone. But once I make a move on the teleportation passage, the built-in alarm of the research institute will be triggered. That old vampire from earlier will come after me, so you have to think of a way to trap him for a while. "
Liu Huiying and Zhou Lei looked at each other and said, "In addition to our team's coordinated effort, if we set up an anti-vampire formation to kill vampires in advance, we can trap him for a while. The anti-vampire formation consumes a lot of energy, so we can only set it up once. Moreover, we will not be fit for combat after activating the formation. "
Fang Heng asked, "How long can we trap Dai Ze for? "
"It will take about fifteen minutes to set up the formation. Combining both the formation's effects and our interference from the side, we can probably trap him for at least ten minutes. "
Fang Heng made some calculations in his heart. "10 minutes is still too short. "
It seemed that after he constructed the inter-server passage, he had to rush over and help the team deal with the elder of the vampires.
Thinking of that, Fang Heng said, "It's about enough time for me to destroy the teleportation passage. I have no problem. "
Wu Xingwen asked in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, your plan is very risky. How confident are you? "
Fang Heng shrugged and said in a relaxed manner, "Of course I'm 100% confident. "
Wu Xingwen no longer hesitated. "Check the time now. Execute the plan and activate the anti-vampire formation in 18 minutes... "
...
Following the ventilation duct, Fang Heng climbed back to the third basement and returned to the control center hall.
The hall was somewhat chaotic.
Presently, the sky had already brightened in the outside world. The Federation, which lay low for the entire night, made its attack.
The huge contrast made the Night Owl organization's side barely able to hold on.
Fang Heng noticed that Parason was controlling something in front of the main control platform, appearing anxious.
"What's wrong, Parason? From your expression, the situation doesn't seem very good. "
Without checking Fang Heng's position, Parason casually replied, "We're in big trouble. I can't contact the laboratory in the sixth basement. "
"Oh? "
"The Federation's counterattack is unexpectedly fierce. Mr. Sikong is currently under a lot of pressure. He just contacted us to urgently activate the Tyrants and block the Federation's first wave of attack. "
"Mhm. "
Parason was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. "I can already try to establish contact with the laboratory on the sixth basement, but there's no response from there. "
"Right. " Fang Heng understood and said, "Could it be that the sixth basement was attacked by a group of Lickers? "
"No way... The laboratory in the sixth basement is a sealed space. Even if the passage of the sixth basement was attacked by a group of Lickers, the Lickers would still be unable to pass through the metal door. "
Parason's tone also became somewhat uncertain. Although he was very unwilling to admit it, he felt that Fang Heng was right.
"If what Fang Heng said is true... " thought Parason.
Fang Heng suggested, "Why don't you bring a few people to the sixth basement to take a look? "
When Parason heard that, he immediately cowered. "Don't tease me anymore. Earlier, the surveillance equipment on the second basement malfunctioned. Later, the vampires were also attacked. Now, the entire research institute might be invaded by the Federation. If we go to the sixth basement, we might be in danger. "
"That makes sense. After all, our lives are our own. There's no need to risk it so much. " Fang Heng agreed very much.
As he spoke, he walked to the command station and pouted at the space-tearing stabilizing device in the center.

Chapter 382: Malfunction
"Don't worry, Parason. At least the stabilizer is still operating steadily, right? "
Presently, due to the terrible situation in the outside world, the blood slaves had already stopped sending ores into the time passage.
The vampires continued to send reinforcements through the teleportation passage, directly joining the battlefield outside the research institute.
"Probably. "
Parason's expression was uglier than a crying one, indicating that he was not comforted by Fang Heng's words at all.
Fang Heng smiled, looked at the time, and gently tapped the button on the command station.
"Pa... "
The stabilizer suddenly dimmed.
Hum...
The noise from the high-speed rotating stabilizer immediately softened by more than half.
Then, the entire shelter sounded an alarm.
"Warning! Teleportation passage has malfunctioned! Please fix it immediately! "
"Warning! Teleportation passage has malfunctioned! Please fix it immediately! "
...
In the second basement, Wu Xingwen and the players who had led the old vampire into the enhanced sealing formation also heard the alarm.
They knew that Fang Heng had followed the plan.
Dai Ze was trapped in the anti-vampire formation.
Hearing the alarm, he realized that he had been fooled by the humans.
Dai Ze's originally dark eyes were covered with a layer of scarlet.
"Was it you guys? "
"Shut up! "
Liu Huiying raised her pistol and fired.
...
Parason turned pale with fright. "As I feared, the stabilizer really malfunctioned... and at this time, too... "
He saw that the fixed operating power of the stabilizer as displayed on the status monitor decreased significantly in a short period of time.
The decrease in power caused the teleportation passage to shrink to one-tenth of its original size in an instant.
With such a small passage opening, it was impossible for the vampires to enter through teleportation!
The reinforcements of the vampires were cut off!
"This... Fang Shuo! What's wrong? "
Fang Heng shook his head with a solemn expression and said, "Looks like we've encountered some trouble again. "
"I'm asking, what exactly did we encounter... "
Boom!
The next second, a few muffled loud bangs came from the passage entrance outside the main control room.
Three Tyrant forms used their bodies to break through the alloy door on the right side of the passage and walked into the hall.
"A total of three Tyrant forms? Since when did they infiltrate the research institute? " Parason turned pale with fright as cold sweat dripped down his face.
Fang Heng curled his lips and said to Parason, "It seems that our troubles are even greater. I guess our previous guess was right. The Tyrant forms in the sixth basement cultivation pods have already awakened. I suggest that we quickly contact Mr. Sikong to control these Tyrant forms. "
Parason turned around and looked at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng did not pay mind to his reaction and said, "Otherwise, if these Tyrant forms lose control, we'll be helpless. "
"Please, don't say more... " Parason quickly pulled Fang Heng back and stopped him from continuing.
He felt that Fang Heng was a bad luck ghoul that day. Everything he said came true.
Bang!
A few vampires at the side tried to rush forward to block the Tyrants' footsteps, but they were sent flying by the Tyrants' punch.
The Tyrants continued to move forward, striding toward the teleportation passage in the control center hall.
The vampires who were originally guarding the control center hall also pounced toward the Tyrant forms, trying to block their attack.
At the same time, the automatic cannons hidden in the hall were also activated, firing at the passage entrance.
Under the concentrated fire and attacks of the vampires, the Tyrant forms were trapped at the entrance, unable to break through.
"Mr. Su, I suggest that we don't let them get close to the teleportation passage. "
"Of course I know! Quickly think of a way to repair the teleportation passage! "
Su Jincheng's brain was hurting just as badly.
He didn't have time to think about how the Tyrant forms had lost control. He and the other Night Owl players raised their guns and aimed at the weak points of the Tyrant forms.
Parason looked at the Tyrant forms that had already rushed to the entrance of the hall and was extremely anxious.
He couldn't help but urge, "Have you found the cause of the data anomaly? How long will it take to repair the passage? "
"Relax. I'm still checking the data. This can't be rushed. "
Fang Heng's face was calm.
"Faster! "
As soon as Parason finished speaking, a few more sizzling sounds could be heard.
When Parason heard the sound, he immediately thought of something terrifying.
His body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
Under the dense attacks of the automatic cannons, a dozen Lickers darted into the hall while sticking close to the wall, bearing the attacks of the automatic cannons!
""F*ck! " Su Jincheng cursed loudly and threw a flashbang.
Bzz...
A dazzling white light flashed.
Before the Night Owl players could clear the Lickers that were stunned, more Lickers swarmed in from the passage entrance in the next second!
"Why now?! It's difficult enough with the Tyrant forms. " Su Jincheng immediately fired another flashbang.
He knew very well that they couldn't hold on any longer.
Flashbangs could only last for a few seconds, and the effect would be greatly reduced if he used it multiple times in a short period of time!
Su Jincheng pulled out the cleaver in his hand, jumped forward, and slashed down.
Hiss!
Broken limbs flew up!
The sharp claws of the Lickers had been cut off by Su Jincheng!
Fang Heng pretended to control the command station and looked at Su Jincheng in surprise, thinking, "Seems like Su Jincheng also has a character talent that can increase close combat damage output. But it's useless, anyway. There are too many Lickers around. "
More Lickers stuck closely to the wall and rushed into the control center hall.
The numerous Lickers formed a red stream and almost instantly swallowed the defense line set up by the Night Owl players!
Seeing that the passage entrance could not be defended, Parason was completely flustered. He subconsciously retreated, looking for cover everywhere, squatting down and holding his head.
A Licker charged at him from the front.
Hiss!
Sharp claws charged down toward him from the air.
"Get lost! " In a panic, Parason gave in to his survival instinct and picked up the large wrench beside him to block the attack.
Crack!
Parason's arms trembled.
He did not know where he got the strength in his hands to block the Licker's sharp claws.
Parason stared at the Licker in front of him, not even daring to breathe heavily.
The distance between the two was a few centimeters. He could even smell the blood on the Licker's body.
At that critical moment, Parason heard Fang Heng shouting.
"Parason! What's the control center's password? Quick! "
Parason placed his last hope on Fang Heng and immediately shouted, "278123! "
"Okay, thank you. "
Parason was stunned. He suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Fang Shuo, you... "
In the next moment, Parason felt a strong force coming down on his hand.
The Licker's sharp claws directly swung the wrench in Parason's hands away.
A white shadow flashed past, and the sharp claws pressed against Parason's neck.

Chapter 383: Purple Spatial Crystals
Parason's eyes flashed with fear.
For a moment, his mind went blank.
Then, several thoughts appeared again.
"There's something amiss about him! Is he from the Federation? But... why? " Parason really couldn't understand Fang Heng's motive.
If he was from the Federation, he could have easily done something to the passage, and their plan wouldn't have been carried out to this stage.
Therefore, Parason had never suspected Fang Heng.
Who exactly was he?
"I'm sorry, Parason, but you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Fang Shuo. "
The Licker's sharp claws slashed across Parason's neck.
Hiss!
Blood splattered.
Fang Heng lowered his head and quickly entered the password into the main control platform.
"Hint: password verified. You have obtained the highest level of authority for the space tearing stabilizing device. "
Fang Heng quickly tapped on the screen with both hands, changing the preset coordinates while keeping the device running.
"You have set up a new receiving platform and are in the process of updating the configuration... Please confirm that you have reset the destination coordinates... "
Behind Fang Heng, the Lickers finished cleaning up the last two Night Owl organization players in the hall.
More than ten zombie clones staggered in from the main control room.
They searched the corpses on the ground for a moment, searched for wrenches, picked them up one by one, and then staggered to the space tearing stabilizing device.
Eighteen zombie clones surrounded the device and began to modify it.
"Hint: as per the player's custom modification template, your zombie clones have partially modified the stabilizer. Current modification progress: 4% ... You have completed the reset of the space passage. Searching for receiving space signals... "
After resetting the destination coordinates of the teleportation passage, Fang Heng took the opportunity to walk to a corner of the hall while the zombie clones were modifying the teleportation passage.
There were about ten big boxes piled up in the corner.
Those boxes were all moved in by the blood slaves from the outside.
Previously, due to the blockage of the teleportation passage, those boxes were temporarily piled up in the corner of the control room.
What could be inside?
Fang Heng was a little curious.
He walked forward and lifted the lid of one of the boxes.
The box was filled with purple crystals.
"What are these? "
Fang Heng had never seen such large purple crystals. He reached out and took one out of the box, holding it in his hand to observe.
"Hint: you have found a purple spatial crystal. "
Item: Purple spatial crystal.
Description: A special purple crystal that has been absorbing spatial energy for a long time. It contains a high concentration of spatial energy.
Description: this item is unique to the elementary game of Zombie Apocalypse. It only appears in a few servers.
Description: this item can not be stored in a backpack.
"A crystal that contains spatial energy... " Fang Heng muttered to himself, puzzled.
He did not have any memories related to the purple crystals.
"Did the vampires spend so much effort to capture Server 5 just for these crystals? Well, whatever. " Fang Heng decided not to think too much.
Since he had already opened the time passage, he could conveniently bring the purple crystal ores back later.
Qiu Yaokang was a genius, so he could probably find out something after researching the crystals.
...
"Hint: your Zombie clone has completed the modification."
"Hint: player's custom space tearing stabilizing device has been modified. "
"It's starting. " Fang Heng muttered to himself as he pressed the red button on the main control platform.
"Hint: locking spatial coordinates... Matching spatial coordinates... Establishing communication... "
"Hint: Spatial coordinates matching complete. "
"Hint: connecting... "
In the center of the control center hall, the black space passage, which had a radius of fewer than ten centimeters, instantly shrunk to its limit, then expanded in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
The space passage emitted a continuous sizzling sound of electricity.
"It's a success! " Fang Heng fixed his gaze on the time passage that was once again expanding.
A faint ripple appeared at the passage opening.
A zombie staggered out of the passage.
"Hmm? It's my zombie clone? " Realization hit Fang Heng as he controlled the zombie clone to walk back.
Then, Mo Jiawei stepped out of the passage opening.
He saw Fang Heng at once.
"Fang Heng? ! "
Mo Jiawei couldn't help but swear because he was too surprised.
"F*ck! This is District 5? "
Mo Jiawei knew that Fang Heng was doing something big, but he didn't expect that he would build a time passage between District 5 and District 8.
"D*mn! What's going on now? Is he preparing to move all the things in District 5 back home? " he mused.
Then, Lucia and the Dark Knights also emerged.
After the Dark Knights received the news about the first-generation meteorite, they immediately came to support them. In order to move the first-generation meteorite, they had already put on protective suits to protect themselves from radiation.
Walking out of the time passage, Lucia looked at everything around her curiously. She felt that the world was both unfamiliar and familiar.
"Is this the parallel world? I didn't expect to witness all of this with my own eyes. It's really amazing. "
David clicked his tongue and sighed.
"David, thank you for coming over to help. This research institute is very dangerous now. It could be destroyed at any time. We need to move the first-generation meteorite back as soon as possible. " Fang Heng walked forward and handed the magnetic card to the laboratory in the sixth basement. "The first-generation meteorite is still in the seventh basement. You guys use this to enter through the laboratory entrance in the sixth basement... I'll come back and meet you after I'm done with what I have to do. "
David put away the magnetic card and nodded. "Okay. Leave the transportation of the materials to us. "
"Fang Heng. " Lucia took two steps forward and stopped Fang Heng, who was about to leave. "Do you need my help? "
"Help me control the zombie team in the fifth basement. Use them to transport the materials. "
"Okay. You have to be careful. "
Fang Heng waved his hand and ran toward the second basement.
The vampires were extremely difficult to deal with. Wu Xingwen and his team alone wouldn't be able to deal with them easily. Fang Heng thought that he had to hurry over and help.
...
In the passage of the second basement.
In order to buy Fang Heng time, Wu Xingwen and his team spent a lot of effort trapping Dai Ze in anti-vampire formation.
The formation trapped Dai Ze on the spot, rendering him unable to move. However, they couldn't really threaten Dai Ze.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Dai Ze, who was bound on the spot, waved his black robe and blocked the bullets one by one.
Boom!
Wu Xingwen raised his huge fist and smashed it toward Dai Ze.
Dai Ze raised his cane and gently poked forward.
When the cane touched Wu Xingwen's fist, Wu Xingwen felt a strong force surging toward him. He was sent flying and crashed into the wall behind him.
"You guys are really annoying. "
After being delayed for nearly ten minutes, Dai Ze was almost losing his patience. He felt the seal under his feet weakening and slowly extended his hand forward.

Chapter 384: Siege
Red blood condensed in the air and slowly gathered in Dai Ze's palm.
"To be able to do this, the demon hunters... "
As he spoke, Dai Ze suddenly felt something and frowned.
Bang!
The vent of the ventilation duct on the ceiling behind Dai Ze was smashed open with a bang.
A series of red shadows drilled out from the ceiling!
It was Lickers.
The Lickers pounced on Dai Ze once again.
Wu Xingwen and the others were pleasantly surprised.
Obviously, Fang Heng had come!
The Lickers surged toward Dai Ze and surrounded him, waving their sharp claws and attacking crazily.
Dai Ze's feet were bound, and he could not move. He tried his best to dodge with his body.
However, there were too many Lickers. He was quickly tightly surrounded by them.
Thud!
Fang Heng jumped down from the ventilation duct behind Wu Xingwen and the others.
Seeing that Fang Heng had rushed over to support them, Zhou Lei was pleasantly surprised. He shouted, "Fang Heng! "
Wu Xingwen was more concerned about the teleportation passage. He hurriedly asked, "How's the teleportation passage? "
"It's done! "
Fang Heng gave everyone a thumbs up.
Wu Xingwen and the others naturally thought that Fang Heng was referring to the fact that the teleportation passage had been destroyed. Immediately, they felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.
To the people of the Federation, as long as they could destroy the teleportation passage, the mission would be considered complete. Even if they had to hand over their lives here, it would still be worth it!
Chen Ziyang said excitedly, "Well done, Fang Heng! "
Fang Heng was in a good mood as well. "I did okay. The credit goes to my friend, who's reliable. "
"Extremely reliable indeed! "
Liu Huiying stared at Dai Ze who was in front of the Lickers and said in a deep voice, "Don't be in a hurry to celebrate. Let's get rid of this trouble first. "
The Lickers that were attacking Dai Ze crazily emitted sizzling sounds.
Dai Ze's entire body was burning with a layer of blood mist!
Affected by the blood mist, the Lickers that were attacking crazily had their HP dropped drastically.
Fang Heng's game log instantly flooded the screen.
"Hint: your zombie clone (Licker) has been attacked by blood magic. "
"Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has received a blood magic attack... "
"Such quick HP loss? " Fang Heng thought to himself.
"Quick! Fall back! " Fang Heng shouted and took the lead to retreat to the back of the corner.
When the party heard that, they quickly retreated.
The Lickers' HP quickly fell below 10% .
"Blood explosion! " Fang Heng immediately cast his skill.
Boom! Boom!
The Lickers around Dai Ze self-destructed at close range.
The splashing blood corroded the surrounding walls into a few large black holes.
"Self-destruction... " Zhou Lei was secretly shocked by the self-destructive power of the Lickers. "But why does this move seem so similar to the ability of vampires? " he inwardly thought, casting a puzzled gaze at Fang Heng.
Wu Xingwen was also puzzled. He felt that the self-detonation of the Lickers was a little familiar, and it was very similar to the scene he previously saw in the video.
"All of you... must die! "
A cold voice rang out in the middle of the passage.
Dai Ze was not dead.
His entire body was enveloped by a blood-colored mist that was constantly steaming.
His body had expanded by a few times. With the steaming blood-colored mist, it was impossible to see his face clearly. One could only vaguely see a blood-colored human figure that was constantly burning and emitting steam.
"This... "
Zhou Lei and Liu Huiying looked at each other at the same time, thinking, "Burning Blood Transformation! "
"Be careful. Burning Blood Transformation will cause permanent and irreversible damage to the vampires. However, it can also allow them to gain a powerful destructive ability for a period of time, " Zhou Lei explained to the players in a low voice.
Crack crack, crack...
Relying on the strength boost from Burning Blood Transformation, Dai Ze tried to lift his right leg.
The countless seals that wrapped around Dai Ze's legs were pulled to their limits!
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
The seals' endurance reached their limit! Every single seal was broken!
Dai Ze's greatest aggro was now focused on Fang Heng.
Fang Heng stood where he was and looked at the blood-red creature in front of him. His brows were tightly furrowed.
A special skill of the vampires?
Why did it sound so disgusting?
Fang Heng did not want to turn into Dai Ze's disgusting appearance one day in the future. He was not inclined to use the abilities of the vampires as much. It would be enough to increase the basic attribute.
"Go to hell, demon hunter! "
Dai Ze, whose entire body was burning with scarlet blood, strode toward Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng! Be careful! " Chen Ziyang shouted.
Boom!
As soon as he said that, the side of the pathway in front of Fang Heng suddenly broke open.
A huge shadow rushed out from the broken wall.
It was a Tyrant form!
After breaking through the wall, the Tyrant used its shoulder to hit Dai ze.
Bang!
Dai Ze, who was in a Burning Blood state, was knocked away by this sudden collision.
Boom! Boom!
The Tyrant raised his fist and started thrashing Dai Ze.
Behind the passage, Zhou Lei was shocked by the scene. "A Tyrant? Fang Heng can actually control Tyrants to fight? "
Wu Xingwen's eyes were also flashing with surprise.
He had read Fang Heng's report, and it contained some explanation regarding Fang Heng's ability to control the Tyrant forms.
The Federation's analysis team believed that it was a special ability that Fang Heng could use only under extremely special circumstances and that it could not be used for a long period of time.
But the scene in front of him told Wu Xingwen that Fang Heng could completely control the Tyrant forms!
"Has his ability evolved again? " wondered Wu Xingwen.
The Tyrant form had an additional 50% attribute bonus from Fang Heng. In terms of attributes, it was stronger than ordinary Tyrants. Even so, the strength of the Tyrant form was slightly inferior to Dai Ze's in the Burning Blood state.
The two entangled together and continuously swung their fists to fiercely attack each other.
It was one fist for one fist.
The dull sound of fists colliding could be heard in the passage.
A burning bloody mark was left on the Tyrant's body as it continuously retreated.
"Think of a way to help him! "
The players present had far better eyesight than ordinary people.
They could clearly see that the strength attribute of the Tyrant that Fang Heng controlled was far above that of ordinary Tyrant forms.
However, it was still a little inferior to Dai Ze who was in the Burning Blood Transformation state.
Dai Ze's body was covered in a bloody mist. Once it touched the boiling blood mist, the Tyrant form would be greatly injured!
"Zhou Lei, help me. "
"Okay! "
Liu Huiying lowered her head, rummaged through her backpack, and began to set up a sealing formation to seal the vampire on the spot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a few heavy sounds rang out.
Zhou Lei, who had lowered his head and was about to coordinate with Liu Huiying to set up the formation, was startled for a moment. He raised his head and looked toward the front of the passage.
Several more holes had been opened in the wall of the passage.
A total of eight Tyrant forms had drilled out from the holes in the wall!
When one-on-one against Dai Ze who was in the Burning Blood state, the Tyrant form was at a disadvantage.
But presently, a total of nine Tyrant forms had surrounded Dai Ze.
Bang! Bang Bang!
Dai Ze was surrounded in the middle and was continuously attacked by the numerous Tyrant forms like a sandbag.

Chapter 385: Vampiric Spirit Cane
In the passage, the players fell into a short silence.
Zhou Lei swallowed his saliva and carefully looked at Fang Heng.
"So many Tyrants? Fang Heng can control so many of them at the same time? "
Taking into consideration that Fang Heng had played an important role in getting the operation to the current stage, Zhou Lei thought that his evaluation of Fang Heng was already very high. However, he did not expect that he still underestimated Fang Heng's strength.
"I forgot to mention that I have quite a lot of friends! " Fang Heng laughed lightly and was quite pleased with himself.
Compared to personally going up to fight, he preferred the feeling of calling his underlings to go up and gang up on the enemy. It was safe and efficient.
Liu Huiying quickly reacted and called out to Zhou Lei, who was still in a daze.
"Continue! Zhou Lei, quickly cooperate with me to set up the seal. "
Zhou Lei came back to his senses. He continued to focus, lowering his head to help Liu Huiying set up the magic array.
"Eh? " Noticing that the magic array that was originally set up had been changed, Zhou Lei let out a soft exclamation.
He raised his head to look at Liu Huiying and immediately understood. A flash of excitement flashed across his eyes. He kept his mouth shut and focused on setting up the magic array.
Meanwhile, the ten Tyrant forms surrounded Dai Ze, who was in the Burning Blood state, and beat him up for more than ten minutes!
When the Burning Blood state was at the maximum, just getting close to Dai Ze would result in damage, not to mention using one's fist to attack him in close combat.
The fists of the Tyrant forms had already been burned into a bloody mess by the bloody mist.
However, the Tyrant forms also possessed a super strong self-healing ability, so they had a huge advantage in terms of HP!
The burning bloody mist gradually became illusory, and Dai Ze's body, which was shrouded in bloody mist, began to sway slightly.
The Burning Blood Transformation required extremely high energy consumption, and Dai Ze gradually couldn't hold on.
Bang!
The bloody figure exploded!
Fang Heng was slightly stunned. "Self-destruction? Blood explosion? No, wait... The blood splattered everywhere isn't doing any damage! "
In the next moment, the blood turned into a dense mass of blood-colored bats in the air!
Fang Heng raised his brows.
"What the hell? "
The blood-colored bats scattered in all directions.
The Tyrant closest to them threw a punch at it.
Bang!
The blood-colored bat was instantly smashed into a pool of blood!
"You want to run now, Old Man? "
Zhou Lei snorted lightly. He had long been prepared.
"Liu Huiying! "
Liu Huiying completed the drawing of the magic array at the last moment. She pressed her palms together and placed them in the center of the magic array that had just been set up, pouring mental strength in.
The magic array instantly triggered a golden light that quickly extended forward along the floor, forming a clear dark golden barrier in front of the passage.
The barrier completely sealed the passage!
Screech...
The blood-colored bats that were fleeing in all directions crashed into the barrier, directly exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
"Quick! Take them out now! " Zhou Lei shouted. "Use silver bullets! "
When the players and Wu Xingwen heard that, they all switched to their special revolvers that were filled with silver bullets, aiming at the blood bats in the air and firing.
The silver bullets were engraved with magic patterns that targeted vampires. They were extremely effective against vampires. As long as the bullets grazed the bats, they would evaporate and burn into ashes.
In a moment, all the remaining blood-colored bats in the passage were completely slaughtered.
Following which, the last blood-colored bat landed on the ground.
The blood that was left on the ground solidified again and transformed into Dai Ze's corpse.
"Hint: your team has killed a special character in the world of vampires, Dai Ze. The overall contribution has been determined. You have obtained a special item, Dai Ze's blood crystal, 278 survival points, and a Tier 2 evolution crystal. "
Fang Heng found a scarlet gem in his backpack.
Item: Dai Ze's blood crystal.
Description: The blood crystal of the Marquis of the vampires, Dai Ze. You can exchange it for Demon Hunter Association reputation points after entering the world of the vampires. You can also try to find other ways to use it.
Special description (triggered by the skill low-level vampire level 7) : Try the energy of the blood crystal, and there is a chance of breaking through the upper limit of bloodlines. The success rate is related to the blood crystal (currently, the bloodline level has not been upgraded to level 15. Player can not use this ability).
Special description (triggered by the skill basic occult level 11) : the crystal of the vampires has relatively high life energy. It can be used as an advanced material in alchemy, potionology, occult, and so on.
"Oh... " Fang Heng looked at the crystal's description, and his eyes lit up.
"Breaking the upper limit of bloodlines? Does this mean that low-level vampire skills can be upgraded to mid-level ones? "
Fang Heng opened the description of the low-level Vampire Bloodline skill. It was noted that the skills could be upgraded in certain ways.
"I'll save it for when the Vampire Bloodline reaches level 15! "
Screech, screech, screech!
A few Licker survivors in the passage smelled the blood and pounced on the miserable vampire corpse on the ground.
"Hint: your Licker has absorbed the blood's strength. You have obtained 124 low-level vampire bloodline experience points. "
"Hint: your Licker... "
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. "What a high number of experience points! "
Ever since they learned the skill Vampire Bloodline, the zombie clones had also inherited the gnawing skill. The corpse of a high-level vampire was extremely attractive to them.
In the blink of an eye, the Lickers devoured Dai Ze's corpse.
"Hint: your low-level Vampire Bloodline skill has been upgraded to level 11. "
The level of Vampire Bloodline had increased by a whole 4 levels!
It seemed that the energy contained in the blood of the Marquis of the vampires was very high. After absorbing the blood, the skill level increased rapidly.
Fang Heng inwardly thought, "Hmm? What's that? "
Under the remains of the corpse, there was a wooden stick.
"Oh! It's the cane that the old vampire kept holding. "
For some reason, Fang Heng felt a strong desire to possess the cane from the bottom of his heart.
Fang Heng felt that something was not right. He slowly walked forward, squatted down, and reached out to pick up the cane.
"Be careful! "
"Don't touch it! "
Liu Huiying and Zhou Lei stopped him almost at the same time.
Fang Heng turned around and looked at the two of them inquiringly. "Huh? "
"Fang Heng, this is a holy weapon of the vampires. If you touch it rashly, you will suffer the backlash. "
"Holy weapon of the vampires? " Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, musing. "From the name, it seems to be quite powerful. I also have Vampire Bloodline, so I shouldn't suffer any backlash, right? "
Fang Heng continued to reach for the cane.
The next second, a game hint flashed in Fang Heng's vision.
"Hint: bloodline authentication successful. You have obtained the item Vampiric Spirit Cane (inferior) . "
Item: Vampiric Spirit Cane (inferior) .
Description: special item. Soul-binding. Occupies a special backpack slot. Can not be discarded. Will definitely drop after death.
Description: one of the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires rumored to possess great strength. Effects activate once placed into the backpack. Increases basic agility by 1, basic strength by 1, basic vitality by 1, and blood affinity by 3.
Description: additional silence skill.
Description: consumes mental strength, causing all living beings within the range to be unable to use skills, speak, or use their backpacks. This state requires continuous spellcasting movements and mental strength consumption. The maximum duration is 5 seconds. Cooldown time: 3 hours (skill consumption, skill effect range, maximum duration of the skill, and cooldown time are related to the level of Vampire Bloodline) .
Description: the Thirteen Holy Artifacts allegedly contain the greatest secret of the vampires. Additional effects can be obtained by obtaining more of the holy weapons of the vampires.
Description: Set effect of the next tier (three holy weapons) : player's basic attribute will be increased by 2 points.
Description: this Spirit Cane is marked with a faint "2. " Every Vampire Apocalypse will have its corresponding Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires. Upon gathering five Vampiric Spirit Canes (inferior) , they can be synthesized into Vampiric Spirit Cane (elite) via a vampiric ritual.
Additional description: elite Vampiric Spirit Canes have a stronger effect. If the synthesis is successful, all the inferior Vampiric Spirit Canes will lose their effects.

Chapter 386: Stock Up
It seemed to be a very powerful item.
Fang Heng pondered in his heart as he held the Spirit Cane in his hand and observed it.
"Its silence skill can be extremely useful in certain situations. The '2' on it probably signifies that it's from Server 2 of Vampire Apocalypse. Did the group of vampires come from there? " Fang Heng pondered in his heart and openly put the Spirit Cane into his backpack.
Seeing that Fang Heng easily picked up the cane, the others were still relatively expressionless, but Zhou Lei and Liu Huiying were so shocked that they could not speak.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. "How can a human easily pick up an item of the vampires? Not unless... he's a vampire! "
Zhou Lei looked at Fang Heng in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Fang Heng, you... "
Fang Heng didn't show politeness. He held the cane in his hand. "Since no one can use it, how about I take it? "
The other players in the party didn't know much about the vampires' holy weapons, so they weren't as shocked as Zhou Lei and Liu Huiying.
Considering that they had had to rely on Fang Heng's Tyrants to kill the zombies, no one had any objection to the distribution of the loot.
"Thank you. " Fang Heng put the cane into his backpack as he spoke.
Wu Xingwen nodded and said, "Everyone, the mission has been completed. We must hurry and leave immediately. "
"My mental strength has been used up too much. I can't use my teleportation skill for a short period of time. "
Previously, Nie Feiran had used her teleportation skill to trap Dai Ze in the magic array. At the moment, her mental strength could not withstand the strain of teleportation anymore.
"Then we can only use the ventilation duct. " Fang Heng pointed at the ventilation duct on the ceiling behind him. "Climb up when inside. You will soon find the entrance to the sewer. It will lead the way for you. "
As he spoke, a Licker that had survived the battle crawled to Wu Xingwen's feet, looking very obedient.
Chen Ziyang looked at the Licker and swallowed his saliva carefully.
Wu Xingwen was stunned. "Eh? Are you not coming with us? "
"No, I have to stay. "
"Why? "
"I found something when I destroyed the teleportation passage. Night Owl left 5 frozen Tier 5 giant zombies in the research institute. It must be Sikong Mao who wants to borrow the strength of the giant zombies to deal with the Federation. If we don't deal with them, the Federation will suffer a huge loss. "
Wu Xingwen was silent for a while before saying, "I'll stay with you. The rest of you should leave first. "
"Stop joking. You should hurry back. Givern your state, staying here won't help. "
Fang Heng waved his hand and said casually, "By the way, did you guys bring a lot of explosives? "
Chen Ziyang rummaged through his backpack and said, "I have all the explosives. I was going to use the bombs to blow up the passage. "
"Give them all to me. After I finish off the giant zombies, I'll destroy the entire research institute and the teleportation passage beyond repair. "
Everyone looked at each other. Of course, they knew that Fang Heng would take a huge risk if he stayed alone. Besides the possibility of lurking vampires, the research institute also had an automatic defense system, so there was also the possibility of encountering a player from the Night Owl organization.
Wu Xingwen took a step forward, saluted Fang Heng, and said solemnly, "On behalf of the Federation of Server 5, I thank you for the sacrifice you made for the glory and peace of Server 5. "
"Who sacrificed? " Fang Heng's face darkened as he mused. "What are you doing? Are you going to make such a fuss and not pay? "
Fang Heng waved at Wu Xingwen. "Hurry up and leave. Don't waste time. I'm very safe. "
"Okay! You must come back safely. " After thinking carefully, Wu Xingwen felt relieved.
Probably, only Fang Heng, who had powerful Tyrants as support, could do whatever he wanted in the research institute.
"Let's go. " Wu Xingwen nodded at the team. He followed the pipe that Fang Heng pointed at. It was led by the Licker, and they climbed in one by one.
...
Main Control Room, second basement.
Elite Dark Knights were in full protective suits trying to move the first-generation meteorite into the teleportation passage.
On the other side, more than ten zombies were each waving a wrench around the mass-produced Tyrant T103 cultivation pod, preparing to chop it into pieces and bring it back to the shelter.
Mo Jiawei's breathing was heavy, and his eyes were full of excitement. "D*ng! Seems like Fang Heng came to Server 5 to stock up! "
With this trip to Server 5, they could earn a lot just from the blue crystals.
For a long time, they would not be troubled over blue energy crystals.
"Fang Heng, the blue energy crystals and the purple spatial crystals have been sent back to the shelter! " Seeing Fang Heng return, Mo Jiawei excitedly waved his hand and reported the progress of the stock up to him. "The radiation from the first-generation meteorite is not strong. Victor is already rushing to create a temporary isolation room. Also, regarding the coffins for the giant zombies, it's a bit troublesome. Genius Qiu wants to temporarily freeze them... "
While the two were talking, David walked toward Fang Heng. "Fang Heng, finding the first-generation meteorite means a lot to us! I believe that we can definitely find a way to crack the Primogenitor virus. The day of the reconstruction of human civilization will soon come. "
David couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The Dark Knights had been trying to save the apocalypse ever since it was created.
After learning that the first-generation meteorite was destroyed, David once fell into despair.
He did not expect Fang Heng to bring him such a huge surprise!
"When we return, we will immediately start researching the first-generation meteorite. This is a big project, so we still need some time... I will contact you as soon as I have news. "
"Hint: you have submitted the first-generation meteorite to the Dark Knights. "
"Hint: you have completed the 16th stage main storyline: first-generation meteorite. "
"Hint: you have received 20 thousand survival points. You have received 10 thousand Dark Knights Honor Points. Your reputation in the Dark Knights has increased. "
"Hint: the next stage of the mission will be triggered after a period of time. "
Fang Heng quickly scanned through the game hints.
Compared to the difficulty of searching for the first-generation meteorite, the mission reward was not very generous.
The resistance by Night Owl had caused him to take a long time. He had only found the first-generation meteorite after going around in circles.
Fang Heng thought to himself that Night Owl's unluckiness was real. If they had not destroyed the first-generation meteorite in Server 8, he would not have come to Server 5 to disturb Night Owl.
After all, he had stolen a lot of good things from Night Owl on the current trip to Server 5.
He would just take it as getting some interest first and settle the debt with Night Owl in the future.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then turned to look at David. "Oh right, David, I encountered something during my investigation of the first-generation meteorite. "
"Oh? What is it? "
"It's a type of worm. "
Fang Heng felt that it was necessary to remind David.
"When I was inspecting the first-generation meteorite, I discovered a strange type of worm. In another parallel world, the Dark Knights had a major accident while researching the first-generation meteorites. They need to be especially careful when researching the first generation meteorite... "

Chapter 387: Greatly Encouraged
Fang Heng told David about what he had seen and heard in District 7.
"There was an accident in the research... the Scavenger Army... "
David's expression became more serious after hearing that.
"Thank you for your reminder, Fang Heng. I will set up a special laboratory when I go back to strictly guard against possible biological infections. "
A game hint flashed in front of Fang Heng's retina.
"Hint: your reminder to David will have a significant impact on the follow-up mission. "
"Hint: the unknown impact is being determined... "
It seemed that the reminder was effective!
He hoped that with the reminder, he could change the main storyline a little so that District 8 would not have a Scavenger Army.
Looking at the zombies enthusiastically transporting the goods, Fang Heng sighed in his heart. "What a pity! "
He had suddenly remembered that there was still half a truck full of blue crystal raw ores outside that hadn't been moved back in time!
The unobtained half-truck full of blue crystal raw ores had become the biggest regret of the trip to District 5.
After roughly estimating the time, Fang Heng installed the explosive device in the control center hall and set it to automatically detonate after 30 minutes.
After settling everything, Fang Heng prepared to return to District 8 first.
Just as he was about to step into the spatial rift, game hints appeared again.
"Hint: you are about to enter Server 8 through the teleportation passage. "
"Hint: there are items in your backpack that can not pass through the spatial rift. If the items remain in your backpack (excluding the special grids and the warp backpack) , they will be cleared after passing through the spatial rift. "
"Hint: player can move the item through the spatial rift but not directly through the backpack. "
Fang Heng stopped walking.
Even after the spatial rift expanded, a player could not carry the backpack along for intra-server teleportation.
"Such troublesome settings, " Fang Heng muttered and rummaged through his backpack.
The first-generation meteorite had already been sent back to Qiu Yaokang for research. Now, the more valuable things left in his backpack were just four books on Occult that were brought in from outside the game.
It was simple!
Fang Heng directly took the Occult books in his hand and passed through the spatial rift.
...
"Hint: you have returned to Server 8 through the space passage. "
"Hint: the Team Assembly Order that you are bound to has become invalid. "
"Quick! What are you doing! The blood in the bucket is a very valuable research item! It is stored in Warehouse No. 24 alone!"
"The purple spatial crystals also need to be stored alone. Has Storage Room No. 18 not been cleaned up yet? "
The basement of the prison shelter was bustling with activity. Qiu Yaokang was in high spirits as he ordered the NPC survivors to sort out the materials that had been moved out from District 5.
Fang Heng yawned.
Strong drowsiness hit him. He really wanted to find a place to sleep.
"Fang Heng, you're finally back. I've been looking for you for a long time. We need to build a freezing chamber immediately to seal the giant zombies. Furthermore, the first-generation meteorite fragments are relatively small, and the radiation level isn't high. It shouldn't be a problem for us to research it after wearing protective suits. " Qiu Yaokang immediately walked over when he saw Fang Heng.
Even though Qiu Yaokang maintained a cold expression, his voice was still trembling slightly due to his excitement.
"Also, I don't know how the Night Owl organization managed to put Tier 5 mutated giant zombies into a deep sleep and freeze them. I guess they must have more advanced methods. If we study them in detail, we should be able to get some information. There are also the purple spatial crystals. I've roughly observed their structures from the outside. It's a special heptagon crystal space structure. I've never seen a similar structure before. I need to further examine the crystal and think of a way to stimulate the spatial energy contained in the crystals... "
He continued, "I'm also very interested in the blood pool you mentioned earlier. There are indeed traces of various elements in the blood. In theory, these elements should have no effect on the meteorite. I still need to do some tests. You did very well this time. You even brought back the blood in the blood pool, so I can do more detailed tests. Remember to keep it up next time... "
Qiu Yaokang's eyes were blood red, and he was very excited.
He looked at Fang Heng, and his heart was burning. Even his eyes were shining.
Fang Heng was definitely a gift from God!
With one trip to District 7, Fang Heng brought back the divine potion. Before Qiu Yaokang could study it thoroughly, Fang Heng went to Server 5.
He had brought back so many treasures!
The purple spatial crystals, the Tyrant form cultivation pods, the Tier 5 giant zombie live samples, the first-generation meteorite fragments... All of them were enough for him to study for months!
"Ha... Okay, okay... " Fang Heng couldn't help but yawn.
After entering District 5, his mind had been tense. He had been struggling for two days without a good night's sleep.
Now that he had relaxed, he felt even more tired.
Fang Heng felt his brain buzzing, and he was forced to accept Qiu Yaokang's message.
Game hints were still flashing wildly in front of him.
"Hint: your shelter has obtained purple spatial crystals. Shelter's research score has increased. Special research topic 'spatial structure' has been activated. Your shelter's researchers are greatly encouraged. "
"Hint: your shelter has obtained Tyrant form cultivation pods. Shelter's research score has increased. Research speed of the current research topic 'Tyrant forms' has increased by 50% . Your shelter's researchers are greatly encouraged. "
"Hint: your shelter has obtained giant zombie live samples. Shelter's research level has increased. Special research topic 'giant zombies' has been activated. "
"Hint: shelter has obtained first-generation meteorite. Shelter level has increased. Shelter's research level has increased. Shelter's attractiveness has increased... "
Fang Heng was so sleepy that his consciousness was fading in and out.
He did not even look at the game log carefully. He waved his hand and interrupted Qiu Yaokang's research report.
"Qiu Yaokang, you are the research supervisor. You can make the follow-up research plans. However, the first-generation meteorite is very dangerous. In addition to the radiation, I found worms in the meteorite. I think those worms might be dangerous. "
"Worms? Worms can survive in a radiation environment? " Qiu Yaokang was stunned.
He quickly thought of something and lowered his head to think for a moment.
"Fang Heng, I suspect that the first-generation meteorites have a great connection with the divine potion. "
Fang Heng forced himself to be alert. "You think so too? "
"Yeah. I have some findings of the divine potion that you brought back last time. I was about to tell you. "
As he spoke, Qiu Yaokang led Fang Heng to the experiment table at the side.
Qiu Yaokang picked up an analysis report. "I just got the experiment report last night. I'll go straight to the point. I think the divine potion is a special culture liquid. "
Fang Heng was dumbfounded. "What? Culture fluid? "
"Yeah. Culture fluid for cultivating worm life forms. I used a small amount of the divine potion to do the preliminary biological tests. I noticed that after I use the divine potion, the worms will enter the body of a life form along with the divine potion. It lives in the body of a life form in a parasitic way. "

Chapter 388: Parasitic Worms
"Nutrient solution allows the worms to grow better in the life form. As the worms grow, the host's emotions will become high, and the values of various indicators will also increase, including strength and physique. However, such an increase is very dangerous. Under most circumstances, the worms will parasitize the animal's brain. Once the worms lose control and lack certain nutrients, the worms will become irritable, and the host will also become irritable. I haven't had the time to do more tests. Based on the current situation, the possibility of the worm causing great damage to the host under extreme circumstances is very high. "
According to the description, the NPCs of the Scavenger Army in District 7 drank the potion and became the host of the worms.
Fang Heng roughly understood that that was the true effect of the divine potion.
"I still need time to analyze if the worms in the meteorites are from the same origin as the worms found in the divine potion. Next, I'll start to study the first-generation meteorite. "
"Oh, okay. Do as you see fit. " Fang Heng rubbed his head that couldn't catch up.
A wave of indescribable sleepiness hit him, making it impossible for him to continue thinking.
"Forget it! I'll go offline to catch up on sleep first! " he thought.
Before leaving, Fang Heng threw the four Occult-related books he had secretly brought into the game world to four zombie clones, telling them to read them overnight in the basement.
After arranging everything, Fang Heng waved at Mo Jiawei and said, "Old Mr. Mo, I'll go offline to rest first. Keep an eye out. "
"No problem! " Mo Jiawei, who was taking stock of the great harvest from Server 5, was unusually excited. He waved at Fang Heng. "Leave it to me! "
Meanwhile, outside the research institute at the temporary frontline camp set up by the Federation.
"In the end, we decided to leave Fang Heng alone to completely destroy the time passage and the Tier 5 giant zombies left behind by Sikong Mao in the laboratory... " Wu Xingwen roughly reported the whole process of the infiltration operation to Qian Yuan.
"You didn't confirm the status of the time passage? "
Wu Xingwen was surprised for a moment, then said, "At that time, our situation didn't allow it. "
"Okay, I got it. " Qian Yuan's expression was uncertain.
"Chief, is there a problem? Has the time passage not been destroyed yet? "
An officer came forward and reported "We believe that the time passage may not have been completely destroyed. The laboratory's real-time detection showed that the time fluctuation is still there, but the amount of space fluctuation has decreased sharply. In addition, from about half an hour ago, the vampires' follow-up military support has never appeared again. Based on this, we believe that from that point in time, the teleportation passage has been greatly affected. "
Wu Xingwen frowned.
The time matched. Over half an hour ago, when they heard the alarm, they mistakenly thought that the spatial rift teleportation passage had been destroyed.
Just as they were thinking, suddenly, a violent tremor came from beneath Wu Xingwen's feet!
Following that, a loud explosion sounded in their ears!
Boom!
"An explosion? " Zhou Lei steadied himself and was the first to lift a corner of the command post tent to look outside.
Boom! Boom, boom!
The explosion sounds came from within the research institute.
The entire research institute had fallen into a sea of fire. Most of the automatic turrets outside the research institute had lost their effectiveness due to this explosion.
The Federation players seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Night Owl organization.
A Federation military officer reported loudly, "Chief! The time fluctuation signal has suddenly disappeared! "
"Nice! It must be Fang Heng! He must have thought of a way to destroy the teleportation passage! " Wu Xingwen was certain that Fang Heng must have detonated the bomb, and he secretly cheered for Fang Heng.
"Great! " Zhou Lei could not help but wave his fist fiercely.
Only Chen Ziyang felt a little strange when he saw the large explosion outside the research institute.
Something was not right.
Due to the weight-bearing limitation of his backpack, he did not bring many time bombs into the research institute. Logically speaking, blowing up a large hall was the limit.
How could such a violent explosion be caused?
Without the automatic turrets, the research institute's defensive capabilities were greatly reduced.
In the blink of an eye, the elite players of the Federation had already charged into the periphery of the research institute.
"Thank you for your hard work. "
Seeing that the situation had been settled, Qian Yuan turned to look at Zhou Lei and Nie Feiran. "On behalf of the Federation, Zombie Apocalypse District 5 would like to thank you two for your assistance. I'll get someone to bring you down to rest first. We'll pay the follow-up compensation within three days. "
"Of course, of course. Thank you. "
After Zhou Lei and Nie Feiran were sent away, Qian Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
They had won, but it was also a bitter victory.
It looked like they had wiped out the vampires, but the real trouble had just begun.
Due to the battle, the Federation's strength had been greatly reduced, and its control over District 5 had weakened even more.
The anti-federation forces that were hiding in District 5 had long been itching to make a move.
They would definitely seize the present opportunity to do so.
...
Meanwhile, in the Federation's Shelter No. 1 that had been taken over by the vampires.
"The research institute has fallen, and the time passage has been destroyed. Marquis Dai Ze died in this battle. His holy weapon that the Sinmore Clan had safekept for a long time was also lost. "
Amelia's face was gloomy as she listened to her subordinate's report.
In the original plan, she would lead the vampires to occupy the entire Server 5, causing a greater impact on the Federation. In the end, she would monopolize the entire Server 5's purple spatial crystal reserves,
"Trash! That short-sighted old fogey, Dai Ze! If it wasn't for him bringing the Sinmore Clan members to disrupt the situation and transporting the purple spatial crystals back to Vampire Apocalypse in advance, hindering my family's mid-level vampire reinforcements, I wouldn't have failed so badly. "
"The shame of the vampires! " A few vampires half-kneeled on the ground.
"All right, there's no point staying here any longer. Prepare to evacuate. "
"Yes! "
Amelia looked out the window at the Federation players who were launching an attack on the shelter.
No matter what, the biggest goal of the trip, the purple spatial crystal ores, had already been obtained.
After returning to the world of the vampires, there was no need for her to make a move. The Sinmore Clan members would definitely be punished for the loss of the holy weapon.
It was not a loss, but Amelia's mood was very bad.
...
"Fang Heng? "
"Yes... It's me... "
Fang Heng's sleep lasted from day to night, and then from night to dawn.
Still a little groggy, he reached out for the phone next to his pillow.
"Fang Heng, are you okay? Did you get caught in the explosion? "
"No, I'm fine. "
"Phew... That's good. "
Chen Yu also felt that Fang Heng wouldn't so easily die in District 5.
He had just read the detailed report on what happened in District 5.
After reading the report, Chen Yu was shocked again.
He had always known that Fang Heng was very powerful, but he didn't expect that Fang Heng had already reached such a level.
He could already control 10 Tyrant form zombies to fight at the same time.
If Fang Heng hadn't cooperated with the Federation all the while, he would have long been on the Federation's list of high-risk people and monitored by the Federation 24 hours a day.

"How on Earth did you do it... "
"Huh? What? "
"No, it's nothing. This mission has been a great trouble for you. The Federal authorities have decided to give you additional compensation. "
"Oh? "
Hearing the words "additional compensation, " Fang Heng immediately sobered up.
"King of Gods' points? "
Chen Yu scratched his head, feeling slightly helpless.
"We will try our best to meet your requirements. However, as you know, every month, transactions involving the King of Gods' points between players have to observe the rules set by the game. The more King of Gods' points traded, the higher the processing fees. As for the direct exchange of King of Gods' points, the losses will be high. I suggest that we opt for a direct exchange of the materials you need instead. "
"All right. I will give you a list of materials in a few days, " Fang Heng agreed without hesitation.
To establish the research room, he still needed a lot of rare minerals. It would be more convenient to purchase the minerals from the Federation.
"Also, the authorities asked me to ask you. "
"Hmm? "
"Do you have any plans to change servers and join Vampire Apocalypse? "
"Not interested, " Fang Heng refused.
"All right. " Chen Yu received the expected answer and sighed heavily.
"What is it? "
"You were involved in most of the matters in District 5, so the authorities believe that you should have the right to know. What I am about to say is a Federal secret. I hope that you will keep it a secret to avoid causing panic in the outside world. "
Fang Heng sat up straight on the bed and nodded. "Okay, go ahead. "
"Yesterday, the Federation took back all the shelters that were seized by the vampires. When we were counting the materials, we found that a batch of purple spatial crystals originally in Shelter No. 1 are lost. "
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
As for purple spatial crystals, not only had he seen them before, but he had also secretly transported more than ten boxes back to the shelter in District 8!
"What is that? "
"It's a very high-level material. Purple spatial crystals have a kind of spatial energy that can be used to cast spells in space and open the teleportation passage. "
Chen Yu continued worriedly, "I hope the loss of the crystals is just a coincidence. "
Fang Heng was silent.
It was definitely not a coincidence.
The vampires valued the purple spatial crystals very much. The Marquis of the vampires, Dai Ze, had even transported a batch back to Vampire Apocalypse in the first instance.
Fang Heng even felt that the vampires had spent a lot of effort to come to Server 5 just to obtain the purple spatial crystals.
"Putting aside the vampires' invasion of Server 5, there's also the Vampiric Spirit Cane that you obtained. "
"Spirit Cane? "
"Yeah. That's one of the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires. Under normal circumstances, before it's purified or sealed, only the vampires have the ability to pick up that thing. "
Chen Yu scratched his head and asked curiously, "How did you do it? "
"Probably because I'm a vampire? "
"What? " Chen Yu was stunned for a moment.
He felt that Fang Heng was lying to him.
"Stop joking. Vampires will want to take it back anyway. Currently, Server 8 is still under Newbie Protection. The chances of the vampires forcefully entering Server 8 is very low, but it's better to be cautious. "
"Okay, I know. Thanks. "
Fang Heng and Chen Yu continued to chat for a while. After agreeing on the payment for the operation, they hung up.
Fang Heng stretched, preparing to find some food.
Drawing open the curtains, Fang Heng was stunned for a moment. "Eh? Where are the raw blue crystal ores that were stored in the back garden? "
The back garden was empty, leaving only the beautiful scenery of a small bridge and flowing water.
Fang Heng put on his coat and went out to look for the ores.
Just as he opened the door, he met Butler Sun.
Fang Heng immediately asked, "Butler Sun, where are my stones? "
"Mr. Fang Heng, you've been resting, so I didn't have the chance to tell you. If the stones were left outside, they would easily get lost and damp, so I took the initiative to temporarily store them in the storage room. I hope you don't mind. "
"Oh, it's fine. As long as they're not lost. "
Butler Sun smiled bitterly at Fang Heng.
A piece of ore worth millions in the black market was just piled up in the backyard?
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem real.
Butler Sun initially didn't believe that Fang Heng's ore was so valuable. However, after seeing how Xiao Ruoruo took out a book from the study and compared the ore with the original blue crystal raw ore in the book, he started to have doubts.
Fang Heng followed Butler Sun to the storage room and saw that the ores were still there. He was not worried anymore.
For the time being, he would leave them in the warehouse. After all, the storage room was a little too far, making to-and-fro transportation troublesome. When he had time, he would slowly bring them back to the shelter in batches.
"Butler Sun, thank you so much. Please carry on with your work. "
"All right. Do excuse me. "
Fang Heng casually dismissed Butler Sun and began to stuff the ores into his backpack.
...
After filling up a small portion of the blue crystal raw ores and returning to the game, Fang Heng noticed a row of game hints appear before his eyes.
"Hint: you have completed the reading of the books 'Travel Log to a Foreign Fantasy Land, ' 'Analysis of Potionology, ' and 'Occult Knowledge. ' You have gained 322 occult experience points. "
"Hint: you have mastered the skill 'basic potionology' while reading. "
Skill: basic potionology (level 1) .
Skill description: you have mastered basic potionology. You can rely on mental strength to refine potions (the success rate of the skill is related to the player's basic attribute, skill level, and basic occult level) .
Skill description: this skill can be upgraded to level 10 at most, and the skill can not exceed the player's level. "
"Eh? A skill for free? Reading books is still useful! "
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the skill panel to check.
Although he had mastered the skill of basic potionology, when he opened the sub-attribute panel of potionology, there was nothing inside.
There was not a single potionology formula. It was as if learning it was equivalent to not learning it.
Did he need some potionology materials to trigger it?
Fang Heng was thinking when the warehouse door was opened.
"Fang Heng, there you are. " Mo Jiawei stood at the door and greeted Fang Heng excitedly. "I've been looking for you for a long time. Genius Qiu has made a big discovery about the first-generation meteorite! "
There was news about the main storyline?
Fang Heng was delighted and immediately put potionology aside.
"Let's go take a look! "
In the shelter's laboratory.
Qiu Yaokang, who had stayed up for three nights in a row, was still excited.
The night before, he pulled the shelter's research team to study the first-generation meteorite overnight.
Even now, the shelter's research team operated at full capacity as if they were on steroids.
Seeing Fang Heng, Qiu Yaokang picked up the report on the experiment table. "Fang Heng, you're finally here. There's good news. I've extracted a part of the worm within the first-generation meteorite as a biological sample and confirmed that there's a gene sequence related to the Primogenitor virus in the worm's body. "
He continued, "It's very strange. Once the worm is artificially isolated from the meteorite, it will immediately die. For safety reasons, I haven't conducted any biological experiments yet. Our research room needs to level up first. "

Chapter 390: The Next Journey
Qiu Yaokang adjusted his glasses as he spoke.
"In addition, according to my estimation, as long as we can figure out the relationship between the worms and the first-generation meteorite, we will be able to find a way to completely solve the zombie virus. Earlier on, I communicated with David of the Dark Knights about the discovery of the worms. We will work together, with each of us focusing on a different item. The Dark Knights will mainly study the meteorite while we will mainly study the worms. Hopefully, this will help boost our research speed. "
Fang Heng saw new game hints appearing in front of him.
"Hint: you have cracked part of the secret of the first-generation meteorite in advance. "
"Hint: due to your interference with the main storyline, the main storyline progress has undergone a major change. The progress of the main storyline has greatly increased. You have received additional main storyline contribution points. "
"Hint: the current main storyline in this server has reached 58.9% . The game will announce the ranking of the contribution points for the main storyline in the entire server in 24 hours. "
"Hint: your contribution points for the main storyline are 276,200. You are temporarily ranked first in this server. "
"Hint: you can use up 100 King of Gods' points to delay the announcement of the main storyline for a week. "
"Hint: after a week, you can use up additional King of Gods' points to delay the announcement by another 3 days. Each delay will cost twice as many King of Gods' points as the previous time. "
"Hint: player, please choose whether to use up 100 King of Gods' points to delay the announcement. "
The series of game hints made Fang Heng a little confused.
"F*ck! "
After carefully reading through the game log, Fang Heng was cursing in his heart.
Why did the completion rate of the main storyline suddenly approach 59% ?
In his original plan, Fang Heng had planned to take advantage of the fact that no one knew that he had acquired the first-generation meteorite to secretly develop himself and quietly do the main storyline.
He had not expected the main storyline to exceed 50% so quickly, and there was even the announcement of the ranking.
"Delay the announcement. "
Fang Heng decided to spend 100 King of Gods' points to delay the announcement for seven days.
Now was not the time to expose his main storyline progress.
The current completion rate of the main storyline was less than 60% , and the subsequent main storylines would not be so easy to complete. The game was bound to include interesting elements.
Moreover, in his memory, the federal team of Server 2 of Zombie Apocalypse had already completed the main storyline and successfully obtained the final authority of the game world in Server 2.
But now, Server 2 was still in the apocalyptic world where zombies were rampant.
The follow-up main storyline would definitely not be that simple!
Fang Heng was currently far ahead in terms of contribution points. It would probably be very difficult for others to snatch the first place in contribution points.
What he was most afraid of was the announcement of the main storyline rankings in District 8. At that time, he would become the target of public criticism. In addition, the Night Owl organization would add to his troubles and think of ways to disrupt the main storyline in District 8, adding to his troubles.
He had to take advantage of the next seven days to complete the main storyline.
Fang Heng suddenly felt a heavy pressure.
Seeing that Fang Heng did not speak, Qiu Yaokang turned his head curiously and asked, "Fang Heng? Did you think of something? "
"Oh, no, nothing. "
Fang Heng came to his senses. "Levelling up the research room is not a problem. Make a list of the missing materials as soon as possible. Also, how long will it take to have results from researching the first-generation meteorite? "
"The research is very difficult. It will take at least three to four days to come to a preliminary conclusion. "
"Three to four days? So slow? "
"Slow? "
Qiu Yaokang shook his head and said, "It's already very fast, Fang Heng. "
"After the analysis comes to a preliminary conclusion, it will take a very long time to develop the antibodies. Even with the help of the Dark Knights, it won't be possible without at least a month's time. "
"A month? "
Fang Heng's heart sank. "Good heavens, a month's time will be wasted just like that? "
A week was equivalent to 100 King of Gods' points. Toward the end, delaying the ranking announcement would require relatively more points.
He could not afford to drag on.
"Is there any way to speed up the research? "
"Not at the moment. I suggest that you find some researchers to help. "
Fang Heng lowered his head and began to think. "That's right! Didn't the Dark Knights from Server 7 do some research related to the first-generation meteorite? If I can get some information from them... "
Fang Heng raised his head and said, "If there are research materials related to the first-generation meteorite, would it help speed up the research? "
Qiu Yaokang was stunned when he heard that. He looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
"Do you have relevant information? "
"Not at the moment, but I can think of a way to get some for you. "
Qiu Yaokang thought for a moment and nodded. "If it's also research on the first-generation meteorite, it should be of help. "
Mo Jiawei, who had been listening by the side, had a realization. "Hey, Fang Heng, you're not planning to drop by District 7, are you? "
He thought, "What the heck, was he planning to drop by District 7 and do the main storyline without saying anything? Overpowered is overpowered indeed. He's actually doing the main storyline in both servers. "
"That's right, I'm planning to go to the parallel world. The Dark Knights there have studied the first-generation meteorite for a period of time, and there might still be research data stored there. "
The more Fang Heng thought about it, the more he felt that it was a workable plan.
The main storyline of District 7 was highly similar to that of District 8. Apart from searching the relevant information on the first-generation meteorite, he could cross-reference the main storyline flow in both servers.
That would help him speed up the progress of District 8's missions, too.
If he got lucky and came into direct contact with the owner of the divine potion, he might be able to obtain some information related to the subsequent main storyline in advance.
"How's the status of the space tearing device? "
"Very good. Victor already checked and repaired it yesterday. It can be operated at any time. "
"Good! Let's not delay further. We'll set off immediately! "
With the blue energy crystals from District 5, the space tearing device had sufficient energy. It was enough for Fang Heng to warp for a period of time.
"I'll go to District 7 now and try to get some information. We'll do research on the worms in the first-generation meteorite for now. "
"Okay. Remember to bring some live sample collectors. " Qiu Yaokang left while shrouded in a frosty aura and went back to command the research team.
"What? God, are you going to Server 7 now? " Mo Jiawei did not get game hints related to the main storyline. He only felt that Fang Heng was full of energy. The latter had just come back, yet he wanted to get right back into action and head for Server 7.
"Yeah. I'll leave the shelter to you. Let's keep in touch at all times. " Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei on the shoulder.
Before he left, Fang Heng hesitated, asking, "There's no danger in District 8 recently, is there? "
Mo Jiawei first shook his head, then thought of something and nodded.
He looked at Fang Heng and said seriously, "In the entire District 8, the biggest danger should be the Tyrants in our prison, right? "
"Stop joking... "
Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a while.
"This time, I'll probably have to fight with the Scavenger Army in District 7. In order to complete the mission as soon as possible, it's better to bring more fighters along with me. It should be enough to bring 10 Tyrants... " Muttering in a low voice, Fang Heng opened the game log and controlled 100 vine zombies, 50 Lickers, and 10 Tyrants. They would be the sacrificial fighters.

Chapter 391: Potion Making
"Activating teleportation... "
"Teleportation complete. "
Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng found himself back in a dilapidated warehouse in Edge Creek Town.
It had been three days since he left District 7.
A few game hints immediately appeared.
"Hint: as you have not participated in the raids in Edge Creek Town recently, your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have slightly decreased. "
"Hint: Roche's friendship with you has declined slightly. "
"It's a bit troublesome... " Fang Heng muttered in a low voice.
Running back and forth between the two servers, he couldn't trigger some of the Scavenger Army's quests, which directly caused their friendship value to drop.
If he delayed a week or two later, he would probably be expelled by the Scavenger Army.
Walking out of the dilapidated warehouse, Fang Heng returned to the town's central square.
There were only a few scattered Scavenger Army NPCs in the square.
Fang Heng looked around and walked straight to the exchange merchant, Yatu, at the corner of the square.
"Fang Heng, where have you been these two days? Roche has dropped by to look for you several times, but you were never here. He's very unhappy. "
"Sleeping. "
Fang Heng stretched his body muscles.
"I've been dozing off a lot recently. By the way, is it a side effect of the divine potion? "
"Are you here to cheat me, friend? " Yatu raised his eyelids and replied, "The divine potion can only make people excited and improve their physique. It's not a sleeping pill. "
"I'm just joking. " Fang Heng laughed. "Where's Roche? "
"Early in the morning, he took his men to attack the survivors' shelter. As you know, they've been very excited. Recently, the plan to attack Edge Creek Town has encountered a lot of obstacles. The survivor's shelter has always been able to make defensive arrangements ahead of us. Roche has become more and more irritable. "
"Oh. " Fang Heng helplessly spread his hands. He thought, "With Cheng Ya, the Federation's spy, in the Scavenger Army, it would be a wonder if Roche and the others could succeed so smoothly. "
"Is there any mission that I can help you with? " Fang Heng asked.
"You should ask Roche about this. "
"Isn't he coincidentally not here? " Fang Heng checked the exchange column of Yatu and said, "I have nothing to do. What materials do you need? I can think of a way to help you find them. "
Yatu replied, "I don't lack materials. I only lack survivors who can make potions. If you can help me find a suitable person, I am willing to provide you with a satisfactory reward. "
"Hint: you have triggered the mission 'Troubled Yatu' . "
Mission description: Yatu is currently worrying about making potions. Please find some potioneers and bring them to him.
Mission reward: Scavenger Army points.
"Making potions? " Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
He had just learned potionology by reading books on Occult.
Potionology was a branch of Occult. In the current world of Zombie Apocalypse, potioneers belonged to the branch of potion making and medical treatment.
"Could Potionology be used to make common potions? " Fang Heng wondered.
"It's always the darkest under the lamp. " Fang Heng pointed at himself. "Look, I'm a professional potioneer. "
"You? " Yatu looked confused, sizing up Fang Heng.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Fang Heng was talking nonsense.
"Of course. Before the zombie apocalypse, I had a professional potioneer's license. Unfortunately, after the zombie apocalypse... "
Yatu didn't believe a single word Fang Heng said.
Ignoring Fang Heng's long-windedness, Yatu turned around and took out five bottles of different colors from the small box behind him. He placed them on the ground one by one.
"Tell me what these bottles are. "
"Huh, are you testing me? "
Fang Heng appeared relaxed on the surface, but he wasn't confident in his heart.
He casually reached out his hand and picked up a pale yellow potion to observe.
As soon as he held the potion bottle, a game hint refreshed in front of him.
"Hint: you have obtained an unappraised potion. "
"Hint: detected that you currently possess the skill 'potionology foundation. ' You can choose to consume mental strength to analyze and appraise the potion. "
"Analyze, " Fang Heng thought to himself.
A gentle stream of mental strength flowed into the potion.
If Yatu were to carefully observe the potion, he would definitely notice that there were tiny bubbles forming in the liquid.
After Fang Heng used less than a third of his mental strength, game hints appeared again.
"Hint: through the skill 'basic potionology' level 1, you have analyzed the potion formula and its effects. The potion has a short-term painkilling effect. "
"Hint: you have obtained a new potion formula. Please name the potion. "
"I can get formulas just by using a little mental strength? " Fang Heng raised his eyebrows, thinking that the potionology skill was amazing.
An ordinary potioneer would have to spend money to buy the formula or work hard to get the formula.
"Painkilling potion. "
"Hint: player has successfully named the potion. Player can choose the said potion in the formula column to make it (you need to prepare the ingredients in advance) . "
A hint of surprise flashed in Yatu's eyes. "Did he really make a judgment? And just by looking at it? "
Usually, a potioneer would be extremely careful with determining unknown potions. They would need to go through various means of determination, and the final conclusion might not even be correct.
Yatu thought, "It's not possible to determine the type of potion just by observing it with the naked eye. It could also be a random guess that Fang Heng made. Maybe he just happened to use such a potion before. "
He then said, expressionlessly, "You're right. "
To increase the difficulty, Yatu pointed at a colorless potion. "Let's see. What about this one? "
Fang Heng picked up the potion and injected his mental strength again.
This time, more than half of his mental strength was consumed.
"Hint: through the skill 'basic potionology' (level 1) , you have analyzed the potion formula and its effects. You have determined that this potion is a basic-level potion. This potion has a short-term muscle response enhancement effect. It can quickly increase the player's basic agility attribute. "
"Hint: you have obtained a new potion formula. Please name the potion. "
"Short-term basic agility enhancement potion, " said Fang Heng.
"Hint: player has successfully named the potion 'short-term basic agility enhancement potion. ' Player can select the potion in the formula column to make it (you need to prepare the ingredients in advance) . "
Looking at the surprised look on Yatu's face, Fang Heng curled his lips. "Yatu, It's not that I want to say this, but isn't the effect duration of your potion a little too short? "
Yatu saw Fang Heng in a new light.
It could be passed as a fluke if the latter had guessed correctly once, but he had guessed correctly twice.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Am I wrong? "
"No, your analysis is correct. " Yatu looked at Fang Heng. "How did you do it? "
Fang Heng shrugged and said honestly, "Based on feeling. "
"Based on feeling ? ! " Yatu thought that Fang Heng simply didn't want to reveal his tricks, so he pointed at another bottle. "Try this one. "

Chapter 392: Exploitation
Fang Heng shook his head in refusal.
He also wanted to verify all the remaining potions and earn quite a few potion formulas for free from Yatu.
Unfortunately, the previous two consecutive potion analyses had already depleted most of Fang Heng's remaining mental strength.
If things continued, he would probably mess things up.
"There's no need for that, Yatu. You already know my ability. Don't waste time with these games. "
"All right. "
Yatu didn't insist and put away the bottles on the ground.
"You passed the test. Come with me. "
"Hint: your potion making ability has been approved by Yatu. "
"Hint: your friendship with Yatu has slightly improved. "
Yatu took Fang Heng out of the square and walked to a temporarily reinforced small warehouse nearby.
Five Scavenger Army NPCs were standing at the entrance, discussing something in a low voice.
A Scavenger Army officer raised his head and asked, "Yatu, who is he? "
"He is Fang Heng, a member who just joined a few days ago. He knows a little about potion making. I brought him here to help us make potions. "
Osborne looked at Fang Heng, then turned to look at Yatu.
"Boss Shang is very dissatisfied with your efficiency. There's only a week left until the delivery. You have to speed up. "
"I know. Have the medicinal ingredient reserves arrived yet? "
"They will arrive this afternoon. I will bring you in first. "
As the two of them spoke, the two NPCs on both sides of the door opened the thick iron doors of the warehouse.
Fang Heng followed Yatu and Osborne into the warehouse.
He immediately smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
"A large portion of the medicinal ingredients stored in the warehouse are the ones we collected during the recent raid. Most of them are the basic medicinal ingredients used to make the divine potion. "
Fang Heng nodded and looked around.
The warehouse was very large. More than a dozen Scavenger Army NPCs carrying shotguns stood at the edge of the warehouse and were on alert.
There were also a few NPC survivors making potions on the console in the center of the warehouse.
Fang Heng looked at the back of the warehouse. There was an even larger warehouse behind the warehouse they were in. There were piles of small boxes stored inside.
The strong medicinal fragrance came from there.
"It's a temporary warehouse for the current special circumstances. Just use it for now. "
Yatu led Fang Heng to the inner part of the warehouse, introducing, "The Scavenger Army has plundered a lot of materials from Edge Creek Town. What we need to do is to further process the materials and then concoct warlord potion. "
"Warlord potion? " Fang Heng frowned. "Isn't it divine potion? "
"No, no. Those who have used the divine potion will become excited. All their bodily attributes will increase, and their bodies' recovery ability will be strengthened. Also, their pain perception will reduce. It is indeed a very powerful potion. However, the divine potion is very complicated to make, and the ingredients needed to make it are scarce. For battle purposes, we have come up with a modified version of it, and that's warlord potion. "
He continued, "Simply put, the warlord potion is only effective on people who have taken the divine potion. It can quickly heal the injuries suffered by the human body and relieve fatigue... "
Fang Heng was enlightened when he heard what Yatu said.
He had learned the truth about the divine potion.
The ordinary divine potion was mixed with nutrient solution for the parasitic worms. The worms then infect the human brain, simultaneously causing both players and NPCs to become sick and strengthening their bodies.
From the looks of it, the warlord potion was probably a knock-off nutrient solution. It could allow the worms to accelerate the host's life recovery ability.
Putting aside the risk of being infected by the worm, the divine potion was really overpowered.
Yatu went forward and walked to one of the consoles. "The environment isn't the best, but make do with it. We only need to make the warlord potion. To warriors who have taken the divine potion, the warlord potion is omnipotent. It can solve all problems. "
"Hint: Yatu has issued you a mission 'potion making. ' "
Mission name: potion making.
Mission description: the Scavenger Army needs a large number of warlord potions as reserves. The few potioneers in the Scavenger Army are not able to make a large amount of warlord potions. Materials in the army are in short supply. Yatu hopes that you can help the army to make warlord potions.
Mission requirements: assist the Scavenger Army in producing warlord potions.
Mission reward: Scavenger Army contribution points (the reward is related to the quantity and quality of the warlord potion submitted. If the production fails, part of the reward will be deducted) .
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the game hints.
Yatu uttered, "The warlord potion requires a wide variety of medicinal ingredients, and many of them can be replaced with similar ingredients. Considering our limited resources, it is vital to play by ear and judge which ingredients to put into the mix. Try not to waste too much. "
Fang Heng did not have any potion skills in the past, but he had learned about potionology on the internet for a while.
"Using a similar substitute medicinal ingredient, the quality of the finished potion will be reduced, right? If one mixes similar ingredients instead to achieve the desired medicinal property, the impurities in the potion will also be greatly increased, affecting the quality of the finished product. "
On the side, Osborne said, "Quantity comes first, quality comes second. "
"This is the formula. " Yatu handed two pieces of paper filled with words to Fang Heng.
"Hint: you have obtained the potion blueprint for warlord potion. "
"Hint: you have learned how to make warlord potion. "
Fang Heng looked down and felt a little dizzy. He thought, "Wow, the formula for the warlord potion is really complicated. There are six kinds of main medicinal ingredients and almost twenty kinds of supplementary medicinal ingredients. The are also various ways of mixing in the supplementary medicinal ingredients. "
"Our Edge Creek Town is responsible for supplying warlord potions to the nearby areas. We have most of the required ingredients here. The headquarters will also send us a small portion of the medicinal ingredients every day. In addition, including Edge Creek Town, the medicinal ingredients plundered from the nearby regions will also be provided to our factory in the first instance. "
Fang Heng nodded and followed Yatu to the potion making console.
A potioneer was preparing the medicinal ingredients needed for the potion making.
A set of ingredients had just been prepared on the console.
"Hint: the materials have met the requirements. You can choose a suitable custom formula to try to make the warlord potion. "
"Hint: you have chosen a custom formula to make the potion. This potion will consume 36 Vitality. Player's current potionology level is 1. Success rate of making the potion is 27% , and the grade of the potion after success is C to F. "
"The success rate of making the potion seems to be a little low, " Fang Heng lowered his head and thought.
The warlord potion did not exactly belong to the category of potionology, and making the potion only consumed Vitality.
It meant that the zombie clones could also make the warlord potion.
With enough zombie clones and enough medicinal ingredients, he could possibly make unlimited potions to earn points.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He raised his head and asked, "Yatu, how many potions do we need to make? "
"Ha. " Osborne, the commander of the Scavenger Army, sneered and said, "Young man, we need as many as you can make. "
"As many as I can make? " Fang Heng ignored Osborne's tone and thought to himself, "This is great! "
There was no limit to the Vitality of the zombie clones. When the time came, he could exploit their medicinal ingredients such that none would be left at the end of it all.

Chapter 393: Find Another Way
"Of course, I understand. " Fang Heng nodded. He looked at the warehouse and asked, "But do I have to stay in this godforsaken place to make potions? "
Osborne's cold gaze swept across the potioneers in the warehouse.
"This is to ensure the safety of the potions. Of course, it's also to ensure your safety. "
Yatu was very straightforward. "There are many potioneers here who have been snatched from the outside. In order to prevent them from escaping, there are people watching them 24 hours a day. Their personal freedom is also restricted. Of course, you are not within the limits. You can leave at any time. However, every time you enter the warehouse and leave the warehouse, you need to be checked. You are not allowed to leave with the medicinal ingredients and warlord potions without permission. After making the warlord potion, of course, Osborne will give you the corresponding points as compensation. Do you have any questions? "
"No, I can work at any time. " Fang Heng massaged his shoulders, looking like he was ready to do something big.
"Good luck, young man. " Osborne waved his hand and whispered something to Yatu. The two of them left the warehouse together.
When the door of the warehouse closed again, Fang Heng looked around.
The boxes at the edge of the warehouse were lined up in a row, each filled with different medicinal ingredients.
Fang Heng took out some of the medicinal ingredients from the boxes and walked to an empty experiment table.
Soon, Fang Heng customized a set of ingredients for the warlord potion according to the instructions of the warlord potion formula.
"Hint: the prerequisite conditions for making the warlord potion have been met. The consumption of Vitality this time is 37. Current success rate: 27% . Estimated potion quality after completion is C to F. Do you want to make it? "
"Make it. "
A long channeling bar appeared above Fang Heng's head.
When the channeling bar reached its end, a red and bold hint appeared in Fang Heng's vision.
"Hint: player has failed to make the potion. Some of the ingredients have been destroyed. Player's Vitality will be deducted by 45 points. "
Fang Heng cursed in his heart.
Not far away, the other two NPC potioneers looked at Fang Heng sympathetically.
The warlord potion was one of the more difficult ones in potion making. The success rate of making it was already very low, so failure was expected.
Fang Heng was not discouraged. He prepared another set of potion ingredients and continued to make it.
"Hint: player has failed to make the potion, and part of the potion ingredients have been destroyed. "
"Hint: player has failed to make the potion... "
He failed another four times, and it was five times in a row!
"This... "
In the warehouse, the potioneers looked at Fang Heng, holding back their laughter, their expressions a little twisted. They thought, "Five times in a row? He seems experienced, but isn't his luck awfully bad? "
Fang Heng took a deep breath and patted his cheeks, thinking, "This is really weird! Did the game change the success rate? With a 27% success rate, it should be one out of five times, right? "
Fang Heng wanted to continue, but his Vitality had been exhausted, so he could not continue to concoct.
The situation could not go on.
The success rate was too low.
He had to think of a way to increase the success rate of the potion making.
Fang Heng thought about it.
Ordinary potionology and potion making skills could be used to make potions. If he learned the potion making skill, could it increase the additional success rate?
Moreover, the equipment here wasn't very good. If he changed to better equipment, he would be able to increase his success rate more or less.
Fang Heng quickly came up with an idea. He got up and left the warehouse.
"He left? " Outside the warehouse, Osborne was still talking about something at the door of Yatu. Seeing Fang Heng leave, Osborne's eyes revealed a hint of disdain. "What? is the difficulty too high? Did you give up so quickly? "
"No, I'm not giving up. I need some special tools. Do you want to check if I'm carrying any medicinal ingredients with me? "
"No need, go ahead. "
Watching Fang Heng leave, Osborne looked at Yatu. "This is the person you recommended? Did you misjudge him? Special tools? He really could have given a better excuse. I don't know what he's up to. "
"Don't worry, he's different from ordinary people. He might give you a surprise. "
Fang Heng returned to the square in the center of the town and found his minivan parked at the side. He immediately drove the minivan away from Edge Creek Town and headed to the apocalypse merchant camp.
...
Fang Heng waited in the apocalypse merchant camp for about two hours.
Ai Lei rushed over after receiving the news. "What's so urgent? "
"Good news, we've obtained the first-generation meteorite! "
"Really? Where did you find it? " Ai Lei was first surprised. Then, his face lit up as he hurriedly asked Fang Heng for details.
The first-generation meteorite of Server 7 had been destroyed. If District 8 could find the first-generation meteorite, they might be able to find some clues from the first-generation meteorite and end the apocalyptic world!
"I got it from another parallel world. "
Fang Heng told Ai Lei about what had happened in Server 5.
Hearing the news of the Dark Knights being destroyed in the parallel world of District 5, Ai Lei frowned.
After that, hearing about the invasion from the world of the vampires, Ai Lei felt his heart skip a beat.
"Well done! Well done, Fang Heng! "
After listening to the whole story, Ai Lei waved his arms excitedly.
He was also immersed in the story, and he still wanted more.
"Give me a bottle of beer and put it on his tab. " Fang Heng was so thirsty that he waved his hand and asked for a bottle of beer from the boss of the apocalypse camp.
"But Fang Heng, how did you pick up the vampire's Spirit Cane? "
Ai Lei was very curious about vampires. "Where's the vampires' Spirit Cane? Can you show it to me? "
The vampires' Spirit Cane was bound to a special backpack grid, always on Fang Heng in the various game worlds.
Even in the real world, Fang Heng could see the vampires' Spirit Cane in his backpack.
Unfortunately, while he could see it, he couldn't take it out in reality.
Fang Heng gently turned his wrist, and the Spirit Cane of the vampires appeared in his palm.
"That's it. "
"Wow! It's amazing. "
Ai Lei felt itchy in his heart. He carefully reached out his hand and took the Spirit Cane of vampires on the table.
"Eh? Didn't they say that ordinary people can't pick it up? "
"That's under the condition of not recognizing the owner. "
As Fang Heng spoke, he focused his mind.
Ai Lei immediately felt a strong force coming from the Spirit Cane in his hand, and he couldn't hold it for a moment.
Whoosh!
The Spirit Cane was suddenly sucked into Fang Heng's hand.
"Holy sh*t! This move is amazing! " Ai Lei had never seen such a supernatural thing, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"All right, let's get back to business. " Fang Heng put the vampires' Spirit Cane back into his backpack, and his face became solemn as he said, "I need your help. "
"Tell me about it. I'll try my best. "
"I want to finish the research on the first-generation meteorite as soon as possible, so I want to get the research materials related to the first-generation meteorite in Division 7. "
Ai Lei recalled for a moment and said, "Indeed, we have a backup of the research materials in the laboratory. They have been sealed in the headquarters of the Dark Knights for all these years, so we should be able to find them. " Ai Lei hesitated for a moment. "But... "
"What? "
"Fang Heng, the other members of the Dark Knights may not believe in the time passage you mentioned. They may suspect that you have ulterior motives. In addition, I also hope to restart the investigation on the first-generation meteorite, so I have a request. " Ai Lei pleaded, "I hope that you can provide us with a small piece of the first-generation meteorite to conduct research on. "
"All right. "
"Ha! Thank you! Fang Heng, I knew I could rely on you! "
Seeing that Fang Heng agreed readily, Ai Lei was excited. He slammed the table and shouted, "Hwak, quick! Serve the beer! "
"There's no rush to drink. I still have a troublesome matter that I need you to help me think of a solution for. "
"Just say it. "
Fang Heng asked, "Do you have a skill book about potion making? "
Ai Lei nodded and said, "It's no big deal. Our Dark Knights have various skill books. If it really doesn't work, we can buy one from others at a high price... "

Chapter 394: Ranked
At five o'clock in the afternoon, at the crossroads where Fang Heng had agreed to trade the first-generation meteorite.
Ai Lei and the other two members of the Dark Knights were fully armed. They each wore a full protective suit to insulate themselves from radiation and also brought a tool box.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the three of them waited anxiously.
"Why isn't it here yet? Is there any change? "
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer. It's not time yet. "
As they spoke, a small white van gradually drove over from the end of the path ahead.
Ai Lei's heart relaxed, and he pretended to be relaxed as he said, "Look, he's here. "
The van stopped at the roadside.
Fang Heng walked out of the white van.
Yang Xia was surprised at Fang Heng's youth.
"Fang Heng, you're late. "
"You guys came too early. "
Fang Heng stretched his back muscles.
Apart from a large number of blue crystals, using the teleportation passage required prior maintenance checks, which was very time-consuming.
In addition, Fang Heng also lost 3,000 honor points to cut off a small bit of the first-generation meteorite that belonged to the Dark Knights of District 8.
Yang Xia turned to look at the white van behind Fang Heng.
"Where's the first-generation meteorite? "
"Don't look for it. It's in my hands. "
Fang Heng flipped his wrist and handed over a first-generation meteorite fragment.
Yang Xia and the others were frightened.
For a moment, they thought that Fang Heng was joking.
The first-generation meteorite had intense radiation.
Fang Heng actually took it out of thin air?
Could it be a fake meteorite?
Fang Heng spread out his hands.
In the center of his palm lay a thumb-sized stone fragmentl.
Jiang Yueping was the chief researcher of the Dark Knights. He stretched his head over and carefully used tweezers to clamp the fragment, placing it in front of his eyes and observing it for a moment.
"It is the real first-generation meteorite! " Jiang Yueping's pupils constricted.
He had checked the information about first-generation meteorite countless times. He could tell whether it was real or fake at a glance.
Jiang Yueping's tone carried a trace of anxiety, and he couldn't even keep his breathing calm. He turned his head and urged, "Quick, toolbox. "
Yang Fei immediately opened the toolbox upon hearing that.
Jiang Yueping held his breath and carefully placed the first-generation meteorite into the toolbox before closing the lid.
"Phew... " Jiang Yueping heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
Seeing how nervous Jiang Yueping was, Yang Xia also became nervous. She asked softly, "Elder Jiang, is this meteorite real? "
"Yes, it is indeed a first-generation meteorite. "
Yang Xia looked at Fang Heng in astonishment.
Was he a human or a ghost? He could actually grab a first-generation meteorite with his bare hands? Was he not afraid of being exposed to radiation?
Jiang Yueping did not dwell too much on the issue of radiation. In his excitement, he could not help but sigh.
"I thought that the spatial rift passage was just a theoretical existence. I did not expect it to be true. With the first-generation meteorite fragment, the shelved research project can be restarted. "
"Hint: you have submitted the first-generation meteorite fragment (small) to the Dark Knights. Main storyline (District 7) has been affected... "
"Hint: your friendship with the Dark Knights has increased. Your reputation in the Dark Knights has increased. "
"Hint: main storyline impact assessment... "
"Hint: assessment completed. You have obtained 12,000 contribution points from the main storyline (District 7) . Your contribution points ranking in District 7 has risen to 8th place. "
"Hint: your contribution points from the main storyline have entered the top 10. Your name will appear on the leaderboard rankings and can not be hidden. "
"What the hell! " Fang Heng was also stunned.
He did not expect that the submission of a meteorite fragment would directly increase his main storyline contribution points by 12,000. He was instantly stunned on the spot.
He was on the leaderboard rankings?
He could not hide it anymore? !
Fang Heng did not expect to be exposed so quickly at the beginning.
He quickly opened the game log to check.
The name "Fang Heng" was casually slapped on the eighth place main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings.
He was completely exposed.
The only fortunate thing was that there were no parentheses at the end of the list indicating that Fang Heng was from District 8.
"Fang Heng, thank you very much for your help. If there's any news about the first-generation meteorite research, we will immediately contact you. " Jiang Yueping bowed to Fang Heng and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Fang Heng.
He took a box filled with information from Yang Fei and handed it over to Fang Heng.
"This is the laboratory research information I've compiled. It includes research on the first-generation meteorite, the zombie virus, the Blood Moon, the first-generation virus, the quarantine zone, and so on. I hope it can be of help to you. "
"Uh, okay, thank you... " Fang Heng came back to his senses.
On the bright side, he had gotten a reward of 12,000 main storyline contribution points.
The Federation ranked first on the leaderboard rankings and had 98,000 main storyline contribution points.
The gap between him and first place was already less than ten times.
"Fang Heng, keep in touch. If there are any clues, we'll communicate at any time. "
Jiang Yueping had waited for the present day for too long. He couldn't wait to start researching the first-generation meteorite. He nodded at Fang Heng and returned to the small car with the box.
Ai Lei handed a skill book to Fang Heng. "Here, I've been looking for the skill book that I promised you for a long time. I have to escort them to the research institute now. I'll contact you later. "
"Okay. " Fang Heng took the skill book and looked at it before slapping it on his head.
"Hint: you have obtained the skill book on basic potion making. "
"Hint: you have learned the skill 'basic potion making. ' "
Skill: basic potion making
Description: you can make potions according to the formula. The success rate of potion making is related to the skill level.
Description: the skill can be upgraded to level 10 and can not exceed the player's current level (after the skill reaches the maximum level, you can try to upgrade the skill)
Description: you can try to combine various medicinal ingredients to learn a potion formula. Alternatively, you can do so through reading, getting passed down information from others, and so on.
Fang Heng glanced at the game description and muttered softly, "With the basic potion making skill, I can make the warlord potion with a more or less increased success rate, right? "
...
In Edge Creek Town, the team led by Roche had also returned.
A group of Scavenger Army NPCs crowded in the square, making a lot of noise.
Fang Heng drove the white van back to Edge Creek Town and parked it at the side of the central square.
Just as he got out of the van, a two-line game hint refreshed in front of him.
"Hint: as a result of their defeat, the Scavenger Army has low morale. When participating in the battle, the final effective output of damage will be reduced by 10% . "
"Hint: as a result of their defeat, the price of all materials that you exchange will be increased by 25% . "
"Oof. They lost the war again, didn't they? They were tricked by the mole again, weren't they? " Fang Heng thought. He got out of the van and glanced at Cheng Ya, who was sitting in the corner of the square, before walking toward the center of the square.
"Those two young adults beside Cheng Ya look unfamiliar. They're also players who just joined the Scavenger Army, most likely from the Federation. " Fang Heng quickly made some calculations in his heart.
Meanwhile, Cheng Ya also noticed Fang Heng, and a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes.

Chapter 395: Industrial Potion Making
"Fang Heng! " Roche had been sitting by the flower bed and had nowhere to vent his anger. When he noticed Fang Heng, he shouted, "Damn it! Where have you been these two days? "
"It's my first time drinking the divine potion. I don't feel well, " Fang Heng explained casually.
"Bah! Damn it! " Roche spat on the ground and said fiercely, "You came at the right time. Those shelters are an eyesore. I don't want to endure any longer. Tonight, we will launch an all-out attack and take everyone there! Those trashes would never expect our attack at night. "
Roche gave off a vicious aura. "Fang Heng, just like last time, you will also take a team there. "
Cheng Ya's expression changed when she heard what Roche said.
"All-out surprise attack? A wave in the morning and another surprise attack at night? I have to inform all the shelters to prepare immediately! With little time to react and counterattack, it's very likely that the shelters will be destroyed. Moreover... I'm most worried about him, " Cheng Ya thought as she secretly looked at Fang Heng again.
In the past two days, when Fang Heng was not around, the players' shelter near Edge Creek Town had the upper hand and resisted the Scavenger Army's attack.
Once Fang Heng joined the all-out attack, the players' side would be in trouble again.
She needed to send the news back as soon as possible so that the players in the shelter could take precautions in advance.
Roche was in a very bad mood and was very irritable.
He threw a bottle on the ground to vent the anger in his heart. "Those damn b*stards! I want to crush them now! "
"Hint: Roche has made a public invitation to the players' shelter near Edge Creek town tonight. Will you accept it? If you refuse, it will greatly reduce Roche's favorability rating. "
"Roche, I don't think it's a good idea to launch an attack tonight. "
"Huh? " Roche turned around.
His bloodshot eyes stared at Fang Heng, filled with killing intent.
"Fang Heng, are you questioning my decision? "
For a moment, the NPCs in the square stopped making noise, and the atmosphere instantly fell to freezing point.
"Continuous fighting will affect our combat power. We need some time to rest. "
Fang Heng did not show any fear. He took a few steps forward.
"Give me some time. I have already prepared a plan. Bear with it for a while. By tomorrow, we will definitely be able to easily complete the plan to attack Edge Creek Town. "
Cheng Ya and the other two from the Federation stood aside and watched Fang Heng and Roche confront each other. They were even more confused.
It was too strange!
Why would Fang Heng stand up against Roche?
Just to buy some time?
Was it necessary?
Fang Heng had the ability to control zombies, so it was not difficult for him to forcefully attack the players' shelter.
Moreover, the overall plan for that night's raid was very sudden. Even Cheng Ya felt pressured.
Why did Fang Heng have to delay it for a day?
While Cheng Ya was confused, Wei Chun, who was beside her, stood up.
"Commander Roche, I think what Fang Heng said makes sense. After so many days, we are tired and need a good rest. Tonight, we will recover our strength and wait until tomorrow to destroy the shelter built by those survivors. "
Roche turned around and stared at Wei Chun.
Such a fierce look made Wei Chun's heart skip a beat, and his feet suddenly felt weak.
He gritted his teeth and forced himself to look back at Roche.
"Hahahahahahaha! "
Roche suddenly burst into laughter.
"Good! Then I will wait for tomorrow to see the surprise you've prepared for me. If you can't satisfy me... " Roche twisted his neck. The fierce glint in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
After he left, the cold atmosphere that shrouded the square finally eased a little.
"Are you crazy? "
Cheng Ya was furious at Wei Chun's self-assertion.
"Cheng Ya, with one more night, we can make preparations in advance. At the same time, we can also think of a way to figure out what Fang Heng is up to. "
Wei Chun noticed Fang Heng's movements as he spoke. "He went to the other side of the square. I'll follow him to take a look. "
"Don't go! " Cheng Ya stopped Wei Chun and warned him in a low voice, "Wait and see. Go offline first and inform your superiors about what just happened. "
...
"Hint: you have rejected Roche's invitation. The friendship between you and Roche has declined. "
Fang Heng received the game hint and shrugged. He could only comfort himself in his heart.
Anyway, the friendship was already so weak. There was not much to lose.
Soon enough, upon completing the task, he would gain a large amount of Scavenger Army contribution points, and he would get a promotion and a raise. Roche and the others would become his underlings.
"I'll give him a taste of his own medicine! " Fang Heng thought as he walked toward the warehouse.
Osborne stood outside the warehouse. He had seen everything that happened earlier. "Challenging Roche's authority? Are you that confident? "
"Of course. Just wait and see. "
Osborne shook his head and waved his hand to signal the two guards to open the warehouse's door.
Fang Heng returned to the dark Warehouse.
He walked back and forth for a long time and saw that the zombies' resurrection time was almost up.
Fang Heng walked to the center of the warehouse and looked around.
It was late at night. Since the NPC potioneers didn't have the habit of staying up late to make potions, most of them had already gone back to the temporary lounge at the back of the warehouse to rest.
There were only four Scavenger Army NPCs guarding the hall.
"Thank you for your hard work. " Fang Heng waved at the guards and walked to a potion making console in the center of the warehouse.
Half an hour later, a dark red alchemy magic array appeared under Fang Heng's feet.
"What? "
The four guards in the warehouse were stunned and subconsciously raised the shotgun in their hands to aim at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng immediately raised his hand to signal.
"Don't be nervous. Everything is normal. These are my friends. "
Screech...
In the next second, scarlet Lickers crawled out of the magic array one by one!
Seeing that, the NPCs were shocked. They raised their shotguns and aimed at the Lickers, cold sweat forming on their foreheads.
If it weren't for the zombie team standing still, the great pressure would have made the NPCs shoot.
Then, a large number of zombies crawled out of the magic array.
"Hey. "
Fang Heng looked at the guards and nodded. "All right, I'll guard the area here. Go back and rest. I'll call you if there's a problem. "
The guards looked at each other and realized that their legs had gone soft.
Screech...
Before the head guard could speak, the group of scarlet Lickers climbed up the wall and blocked the entrance of the warehouse, surrounding the four guards.
He really could control the zombie team!
The rumors they heard outside were true!
"W-We... "
The head guard's voice carried a hint of shock, and it was a little hoarse.
"You didn't see anything, right? "
"Yes, yes... "
Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.
The group of Lickers retreated like the tide, leaving a passage for the guards.
"Go back and rest. Remember, don't tell anyone about my friends. "
The four guards fled back to the security room on the second floor.
