Fang Heng was transmigrated to a parallel world and his soul was forced into the body of a man who had just committed suicide. Huh? What? Every human here was being forced to join a game? Those who refused would be killed? Wait? This suicide dude was a pro gamer? He had the highest S-rank talent sill, the Zombie Clone? Damn! The S-rank skill evolved! My zombie clones could auto hu

Chapter 396: Grievance

After dealing with the guards, Fang Heng walked to the experiment table and began to prepare the potion.

Bzz...

Beside his feet, a light blue large-scale magic array flickered, and a huge fist stretched out from the magic array.

The fusion Tyrant forms slowly crawled out from the magic array. They stood up one by one and stood in a row behind Fang Heng.

Fang Heng sauntered to the front of the potion table, sorting the potion ingredients.

"Hint: you have met the potion making requirements. Skills available: 'basic potionology' level 1 and 'basic potion making' level 1. Acquired skill effect: increased success rate of potion making. "

"Hint: you have met the prerequisites for making the warlord potion. This potion requires 33 Vitality. Current success rate of potion making: 35% . Estimated potion quality after completion is C to F. Do you wish to proceed with the potion making? "

"The success rate has only increased by 8% ... " Fang Heng muttered under his breath as a long channeling bar appeared above his head.

"Hint: the production has failed. Some of the medicinal ingredients can not be used anymore. You have consumed an additional amount of Vitality. You have gained 12 basic potion making skill experience points. "

Fang Heng could not help but curse in his heart. "Another failure! The probability's definitely rigged! "

However, after seeing the increased experienced points, Fang Heng loosened up a little, slightly surprised.

Previously, when he failed to make the potion, there were no experience points gained for the basic potionology skill.

On the contrary, the newly learned potion making skill was very good. Even if he failed, he would still gain some experience points.

In that case, he only needed to make a few more batches to level up his skill level and increase the success rate.

Gaining a little more confidence, Fang Heng continued to sort the medicinal ingredients with his head lowered.

Behind him, the zombies that had long been restless walked up unsteadily, using the sorted medicinal herbs to carry out the next step of the potion making process.

Channeling bar after channeling bar appeared above the heads of the zombie clones.

"Hint: your zombie has completed the production of the warlord potion (success rate: 35%) . Production failed! You have received 13 basic potion making experience points. "

"Hint: your zombie has completed the production of the warlord potion (success rate: 35%) . Production successful! You have gained 22 basic potion making experience points, 1 basic potionology skill experience points, and the warlord potion (grade E) . "

"Hint: your basic potion making skill level has been upgraded to level 2. "

"Hint: your zombie has completed the production of the warlord potion (success rate: 37.2%) ... "

Within a few minutes, ten zombie clones had completed the creation of the warlord potion alongside a row of hints that appeared in Fang Heng's game log.

He had finally succeeded in making three bottles of warlord potion!

Item: warlord potion.

Grade: E

Description: only effective on player (or NPC) who has taken the divine potion before. After using the warlord potion, within a short period of time, the player can recover HP, vitality, quickly recover energy, regenerate limbs, and so on and so forth.

Creator: Fang Heng

Fang Heng stuffed the three completed potions into his backpack and carefully checked the description in the game log.

The skill of basic potionology seemed to be more powerful than basic potion making. It would only increase experience points if the potion making was successful.

In contrast, even if the potion making failed, the skill of basic potion making would gain experience points.

As the skill level gradually increased, the production success rate would also increase.

"Aren't things getting better... " Fang Heng rubbed his hands excitedly.

Just as he was about to start the so-called industrial production, he suddenly realized that he was being spied on.

Fang Heng abrupty turned his head and looked at the warehouse door behind him.

The door was ajar.

It was late at night, and the abnormal activity caused by the zombie team made the potioneer NPCs not sleep well. Therefore, they secretly got out of bed after a discussion and carefully opened a gap in the door, wanting to see what was happening outside.

Then, they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

"Hey, you guys, since you can't sleep, why don't you come and help me? " Fang Heng said and waved at the crack in the door.

When the survivors realized that Fang Heng had discovered them, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Come, come, come. Come and talk to me. "

Their faces were pale as they walked into the warehouse in fear. They looked at the row of Tyrants standing behind Fang Heng in fear.

"Don't be nervous. Do me a favor. It's very simple. I just need you to help sort the medicinal ingredients for making warlord potions with the available materials. " Fang Heng smiled. "Do you understand? "

The potioneer survivors looked at each other and nodded.

"Very good! "

Fang Heng was in high spirits. "I'll make them f*cking 100 million potions! "

He felt like he had returned to the days of grinding the game.

That night was another sleepless night!

...

In the real world, there were still many players who could not sleep like Fang Heng.

All the major game companies and game guilds in District 7 were in a mess.

Almost everyone was asking about the same thing.

Who was Fang Heng?

In the blink of an eye, he directly became eighth place on the main storyline leaderboard rankings!

That meant that Fang Heng had obtained at least 8,000 main storyline contribution points in a short period of time!

However, the various large guilds and game companies did not have any information related to Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng? Who is Fang Heng? "

"Is he Fang Heng from District 8? "

"It doesn't seem like it. He's probably someone with the same name and surname, right? "

"Do a detailed investigation. I need to confirm his identity! "

"Yes! "

The various large guilds moved upon hearing the news.

The Federation also noticed the player who appeared on the leaderboard rankings in the first instance.

"Have you confirmed it? Is it Fang Heng from Server 8? "

"The IT department has compared some of the audio and video data obtained from Cheng Ya and confirmed that there is 70% similarity. Moreover, considering that he also has the ability to control zombies... the possibility of them being the same person is more than 90% . "

"How? Did he teleport to District 7? "

...

"Hint: your basic potionology skill has upgraded to level 3. "

"Hint: your basic potion making skill has upgraded to level 8. "

"Huh? What? That's it? " At two o'clock in the morning, Fang Heng was stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Fang Heng. All the alternative ingredients that can be used together have been fully utilized. We currently lack a type of supplementary medicinal ingredient for the rest and can not make more warlord potions. We couldn't find a suitable substitute in the warehouse... " a potioneer survivor, Alelho, who was preparing the formula-required ingredients, explained to Fang Heng.

They had finally used up all the ingredients that can be used!

Alelho sighed in his heart.

They could finally rest.

Fang Heng had thoroughly exhausted the few potioneers who stayed up all night to continuously prepare the ingredients.

Seeing that the ingredients had finally been used up, they all sat down to rest.

They were too tired!

It was even more tiring to continuously prepare sets of medicinal ingredients than to directly make the potions.

"Spent all of them? That was fast... " Fang Heng mumbled.

Hearing Fang Heng's words, the potioneers who were resting on the ground really wanted to curse. Inwardly, they thought, "What? Are you still not satisfied? "

They had been making potions for more than ten years but had never experienced such a ridiculous situation.

Fang Heng didn't expect that the 100 zombies who had infinite Fatigue Tolerance would already consume most of the medicinal ingredients in the warehouse!

After his skill of basic potionology upgraded to level 3, no matter how successfully the warlord potion was made, it wouldn't increase experience points. On the other hand, even after his skill of basic potion making reached level 8, he could still gain experience points for it.

It seemed that he was only two levels away from reaching the maximum level!

With the upgraded two skills related to potion making, the success rate of the warlord potion production increased by a large margin.

Currently, the success rate had reached 65.6% , double compared to before!

Fang Heng was enjoying himself when he suddenly realized that he could not continue without the raw materials. He immediately felt an indescribable grievance.

Chapter 397: Imagination

"This is boring... "

Fang Heng scratched his head.

"I have to think of a way to get some materials, but where? From robbing the players' shelter? "

It didn't seem realistic, since it was rare for the players' shelter to have the exact medicinal ingredients needed. Even if there were, there wouldn't be many, and the loot wouldn't be much.

Right!

Wasn't there still him?

Fang Heng thought of something and slapped his forehead.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go take your time to rest. We'll continue working tomorrow at first light. "

As Fang Heng spoke, he threw down a sleeping bag and went offline on the spot.

"What the hell? Continue tomorrow? " The NPC potioneers looked at each other.

They didn't want to go through the same torture again!

Meanwhile, Wei Chun, who was sneakily trying to investigate, was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the warehouse.

After being discovered, Wei Chun could only return to the square dejectedly.

Cheng Ya asked, "How was it? "

"I've asked. Fang Heng went to the warehouse where the emergency materials are stored. The guards at the entrance didn't allow us to enter. "

Cheng Ya was even more confused.

She had noticed the warehouse a long time ago. Why was Fang Heng allowed to enter?

"I heard that you need to get permission from Yatu before you can enter. "

Yatu?

Cheng Ya turned her head to look at Yatu in the central square.

What exactly was in the warehouse? Fang Heng had been inside for so long. What was he doing inside?

Cheng Ya was puzzled. Just then, the survival radio received an emergency communication.

"Captain' contacting me. "

Cheng Ya opened her backpack on the spot and checked the survival radio.

"Please check the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings immediately to confirm Fang Heng's current situation. Report the situation offline in time. "

"Main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings? " Cheng Ya's heart skipped a beat. She immediately opened the game settings to check. "How could it be... "

Cheng Ya was shocked.

She did not know when Fang Heng's name had appeared on the leaderboard rankings!

Moreover, he was shockingly ranked eighth!

The top ten players on the leaderboard rankings in District 7 were all players from various large guilds. Every one of them had the backing of large guilds and large companies. The only exception was a person named Fang Heng.

Cheng Ya turned her head to look at the warehouse. "Fang Heng... It's definitely him! "

...

"Chen Yu? "

Late at night, when he received a call from Fang Heng, Chen Yu sat up straight, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He rarely received calls from Fang Heng personally, especially at night.

It meant that Fang Heng might be causing trouble in the game again.

Chen Yu was on full alert. "Yes, it's me. "

"Hey. Sorry to disturb you so late at night. After all, the matter is quite urgent. Actually, I have a friend who happens to be in District 7 and needs some materials urgently. I owe him a favor... You know I can't make it in District 7, right? So, about the materials you originally promised to give me, send them directly to District 7. "

Hearing that Fang Heng only called to ask for materials, Chen Yu relaxed a little.

He was afraid that Fang Heng would cause some trouble in District 8m but there was no need to care about District 7!

"Oh, it's about that. It's definitely not a problem. I just need to communicate with my superiors. "

Chen Yu's mood instantly became much better. He used a pen and paper to record the materials that Fang Heng needed.

"Is it urgent? Don't worry. Your batch of materials is categorized under special approval. District 7 has been in service for so long and is much richer than our District 8. If everything goes smoothly, the goods will arrive before dawn tomorrow... "

Chen Yu continued, "Yes, yes, yes. Seven-star grass, honeysuckle... We do have them, we do. It's just that the snaketail grass is a bit more troublesome to prepare. It's considered a rather rare medicinal ingredient. Haha, look at what you're saying. You've already asked for it, so I'll definitely think of a way to get it for you. What? How many? Why does your friend need so many medicinal ingredients? Sure, I'll help you contact them. Where do you want them delivered to? "

The Federation owed Fang Heng a large amount of materials owing to what happened in Server 5.

Now that the favor would be considered returned with him just providing medicinal ingredients from District 7, Chen Yu felt that Fang Heng was really a good person.

After all, the prices of the ingredients in District 7 was relatively low, and it didn't even take up their funds in District 8!

Chen Yu was busy writing down the materials that Fang Heng needed when someone knocked on his office door.

A Federation soldier pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing that he was on the phone again, the soldier nodded at Chen Yu and said in a low voice, "Sir, it's an emergency letter of investigation from District 7. "

The soldier placed a letter on the table and carefully exited the door.

It was already so late, and there was still an emergency letter, from District 7, too?

Chen Yu suddenly had a bad premonition. As he picked up the phone, he opened the letter to check.

It was a request for District 8 to help investigate the information of an unknown person who had appeared in the main storyline of District 7.

"Huh? What the hell? Fang Heng? " Chen Yu flipped through the document and saw the name that suddenly appeared. He was shocked.

He carefully confirmed the contents of the investigation letter.

That afternoon, District 7 discovered that an unknown person had suddenly appeared on the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings. His name was Fang Heng.

They wanted to confirm if that was the same person as the Fang Heng in Server 8.

Chen Yu blinked several times and looked at the phone in his right hand.

"What a coincidence. No way... Could the friend Fang Heng just mentioned be... himself? But why did he go to District 7 for no reason? The penalty for transferring servers is very severe! It's basically having to restart all over again! Could it be... " Chen Yu had a terrifying thought. "Could it be that he went to sabotage District 7 because District 8's main storyline progress is stuck? That indeed sounds like something Fang Heng would do!

Chen Yu flipped to the few photos attached to the back of the investigation letter and immediately confirmed that the person was definitely Fang Heng himself!

"What the hell! " Chen Yu quickly picked up the phone again. "Hello? Fang Heng? Is that Fang Heng in District 7 really you? "

"Eh? You already found out? That's fast. " Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

It seemed like he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

From the moment his name appeared on the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings, Fang Heng had a premonition.

Chen Yu knew him very well. Even if he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to hide some small, habitual movements from him.

"I'm not pretending anymore. I'm putting my cards on the table. Yes, Fang Heng from District 7 is me. "

"You... transferred to District 7? " Chen Yu subconsciously thought that Fang Heng had given up on District 8 and had directly transferred to District 7.

Fang Heng remained silent and decided to let Chen Yu figure it out himself.

In Chen Yu's opinion, Fang Heng's silence was a tacit agreement.

He swallowed his saliva and took nearly a minute to digest the news.

"No wonder District 8 has been so peaceful recently. So, it was because he had gone to District 7! But, Fang Heng is pretty bold and ruthless. Seeing that the main storyline of District 8 can not be completed, he unhesitatingly went to District 7, where he has to start from rock bottom and compete with old players who've played there for over ten years of ex. " Chen Yu's mind was filled with a flurry of thoughts.

Chapter 398: District Transfer

However, the various big game guilds in District 8 had already tacitly acknowledged that Fang Heng's Prison Army and the Federation both had a strong ruling position.

The main reason was that getting beaten by Fang Heng's Prison Army a while ago had instilled fear in them a while ago.

Now that Fang Heng had gone to District 7, District 8 would most likely not give up. The Prison Army would most likely be handed over to North River Heavy Industry to manage.

If other players were to learn of this news, it was likely that District 8, which had finally stabilized, would be thrown into chaos again.

There might even be player guilds joining forces to challenge District 8's Prison Army, trying to split the profits again.

For a time, Chen Yu thought a lot. He felt that he had grown a lot during this period of time, and his thinking was becoming more and more comprehensive.

"I understand. "

Chen Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, I will try to keep this information confidential, but I can't do much. Your true identity will be exposed soon. Be careful. "

Fang Heng was stunned. What did Chen Yu understand?

"Your sudden need for so many ingredients is for the main storyline, right? But Fang Heng, how should I give it to you? How long have you been in District 7? Have you built a shelter in there? "

Fang Heng replied, "Well, don't worry about that. Once the ingredients are collected, submit them to the nearby Dark Knights' contact points. I will go there personally to pick them up. "

As expected! Dark Knights!

Chen Yu was even more sure of his guess.

Fang Heng went to District 7 for the main storyline!

"Okay, after the ingredients are collected, I will send them to the Dark Knights' contact point... "

"Thank you, bro. "

Fang Heng felt that Chen Yu was still very reliable.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Heng stretched his body.

"All right! Continue! "

...

After the communication was over, Fang Heng hurriedly went online again.

He was in a hurry.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Federation was still gathering materials, Fang Heng quickly teleported back to District 8 and handed over a large box of materials that he had just received from the Dark Knights in District 7 to Qiu Yaokang.

"Take a look at the information that I've just received. Make a copy for the Dark Knights later. "

Qiu Yaokang was initially a little displeased by Fang Heng's interruption of the experiment.

However, when he started to flip through the information, he could not take his eyes off it.

"This information... is very useful! "

After QIu Yaokang flipped through a few pages consecutively, his breathing became a little heavy. He sped up and skimmed through the information page by page.

"Even the information related to the quarantine zone is involved... I will prepare a copy and submit it to David later. "

"Hint: your shelter has obtained special research data (collection) . In the next 31 days, your shelter's research speed will be increased by 350% . "

"Hint: you have submitted the first-generation meteorite research data to the Dark Knights. The speed of first-generation meteorite research has greatly increased. You have obtained 22,000 main storyline contribution points. You will affect the subsequent main storyline... "

Fang Heng was stunned by the game hints that appeared. "22,000 contribution points? That's a lot. It's useful to dabble in two servers. I can get a large amount of main storyline contribution points from both sides. Wonderful!"

"So their research on the first-generation meteorite has already reached this stage. " Qiu Yaokang flipped through the information and clicked his tongue in wonder. "With this information, the following research and experimental steps for the first-generation meteorite can be greatly improved. I believe that the first batch of research drugs will be completed very soon... "

...

In the game, it was 4:30 a.m.

Due to Fang Heng's impressive battle record in District 8, the Federation of District 7 maintained a high level of vigilance and made adequate preparations in advance.

After an emergency meeting, Cheng Ya went online again.

"It's confirmed. He is Fang Heng of Server 8. "

The other two Federation players who were participating in the mission were shocked when they heard this news.

Fang Heng had changed his server!

If the news was leaked, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in District 7 and District 8.

"It's really him? Why did he come to District 7 when District 8 is developing so well? "

Cheng Ya opened her mouth, but shook her head and no longer answered. "It's all too strange! From the information leaked by the higher-ups, it seems like Fang Heng spent so much effort to directly transfer to District 7 for the main storyline. But, shouldn't he be looking for the Dark Knights in that case? Why is he mixed up with the Scavenger Army instead? They're not really compatible either... "

Wei Chun felt strange and asked, "Could it be that the information is wrong? "

"Impossible. The higher-ups have already confirmed that it's Fang Heng. "

"What should we do now? Do the higher-ups have any new instructions? "

"Wait and see, observe for the time being, and act accordingly. Fang Heng must have his purpose in joining the Scavenger Army. Our mission goal is still to find a way to obtain the divine potion and try to protect the safety of the people. Also, this matter must be kept a secret from the public. Do you understand? "

"Yes! " Wei Chun agreed, but his mind was in chaos.

He suddenly realized something and pointed to the side, saying, "Look, Fang Heng has come out. "

Under the night sky, Cheng Ya saw Fang Heng leave the warehouse alone.

He said something to the guard at the warehouse's entrance, then walked toward the square alone.

"It's so late. Where is he going? "

"Shh, be quiet. Let's wait and see. "

Fang Heng had just returned to District 7.

He was having a headache because of the medicinal ingredients.

The Federation had helped to prepare a large number of medicinal ingredients. He could use the space tearing passage of the Dark Knights to collect the medicinal ingredients from the whole of District 7 and gather them in the region of Edge Creek Town.

But there was a problem.

How should he collect the medicinal ingredients after that?

How could he complete the final stage of transporting the ingredients from the Dark Knights' camp to Edge Creek Town's Scavenger Army?

Fang Heng admitted that he was greedy to death.

He had the idea of raising the honor points of the Scavenger Army to the peak, completing the current main storyline of District 7, and finding the mastermind behind the Scavenger Army.

Therefore, Fang Heng asked the Federation for a large amount of medicinal ingredients.

It would take a long time just to transport the sheer amount of ingredients from the Dark Knights' camp to Edge Creek Town by large trucks.

The Dark Knights were willing to help him send them to Edge Creek Town.

However, the Scavenger Army in Edge Creek Town was not very willing to see the Dark Knights.

Both sides would definitely fight, so he couldn't ask the Scavenger Army to help pick up the goods from the Dark Knights..

As for the zombies... they weren't speedy enough, and it wasn't safe, for the trucks could easily topple over with them at the wheel.

It was so troublesome!

Fang Heng was worried as he slowly walked toward the square.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Eh? Cheng Ya! They were still here? That's great! " Fang Heng smiled and walked toward Cheng Ya and the others.

"We've been discovered. " After learning that the person in front of him was the famous Fang Heng of District 8, Wei Chun felt an unprecedented pressure.

"Cheng Ya, Fang Heng is walking toward us. "

"Play it by ear. " Cheng Ya stood up as she spoke.

Chapter 399: Helpers

"Fang Heng. "

"Hey, you guys are here too. " From afar, Fang Heng waved at the few of them, greeting them in a friendly manner as if they were old friends.

"It's so late and you haven't gone offline to rest. Civil servants are indeed pretty busy. I perfectly understand that to serve the people, your ideological levels must be pretty high. "

Cheng Ya frowned. She didn't understand what Fang Heng was up to.

After learning that Fang Heng came to District 7 for the main storyline, the Federation was also very nervous.

From a certain point of view, they were also competitors.

"Don't be so nervous... I didn't lie to you. I've said it before that I'm Fang Heng. You just didn't believe me. " Fang Heng touched the back of his head as he spoke and looked at the serious-looking Wei Chun and Cheng Ya behind him.

Wei Chun couldn't help but ask, "Fang Heng, what are you trying to say? "

"Uh... Actually, I want to ask you guys for a favor. "

Cheng Ya was stunned.

"A favor? "

"Yes, a small favor. Don't doubt me. I've been cooperating with your side, the Federation, all this while. My reputation is very good. You can ask around. " Fang Heng smiled gently. "How about this, I'll give you an elementary divine potion as a reward. "

Cheng Ya and the others were stunned.

The divine potion was their biggest motive in joining the Dark Knights.

"Fang Heng, I need to consult my superiors. "

To that, Fang Heng made the "go ahead" gesture. "Of course, but hurry up. You know my agreement with Roche. I don't have much time left. "

...

Half an hour later.

The sky was still dark.

A small white car was parked halfway up the mountain road.

The Dark Knights' camp of Edge Creek Town was built halfway up the mountain.

"Fang Heng, you're finally here. "

Ai Lei walked out of the camp with an anxious look on his face.

"You have too many things. Don't even talk about organizing them. Just the teleportation alone has cost us a lot of crystal energy, " he complained with a bitter smile.

At first, when he heard that Fang Heng needed help to transport materials, Ai Lei agreed immediately.

But he didn't expect that Fang Heng would actually bring such a large amount of medicinal ingredients over and fill up their entire camp.

"Look at you, you're being calculative with me again, aren't you? We're all here to save this world. Why nitpick about crystal energy usage? " Fang Heng winked at Ai Lei as he spoke. "There's a small portion of blue crystal raw ores at the back of the truck. Think of it as an investment to save the apocalyptic world. "

There were still many blue crystal raw ores in the warehouse in the real world. District 8 already had better blue crystal energy sources, so Fang Heng was no longer interested in those raw ores.

Fang Heng also found it troublesome to move them time and again, so he gave them to Ai Lei as payment for borrowing the space tearing device.

"Really? " Ai Lei was delighted when he heard that. He walked to the back of the truck and saw half of the truck full of energy crystal ores. He was instantly overjoyed.

"Hey, Fang Heng. I knew you were loyal to your friends. "

"Of course. It's my motto to earn money together. "

"Hehe. "

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Come, I'll take you to see the goods first. "

"Hint: your friendship with Ai Lei has greatly improved. "

In the small white car, Cheng Ya and the other two looked at each other.

Fang Heng was indeed connected to the Dark Knights!

And it seemed that they were very close!

He must be secretly doing the main storyline!

"But how did he do it? " Wei Chun asked the question that was in everyone's mind.

Weren't the Dark Knights an opposing camp? Why did their relationship seem to be very good?

No one answered.

In Cheng Ya's opinion, Fang Heng had too many unsolved mysteries.

After a while, Fang Heng walked out of the camp alone again.

Dong, dong, dong.

Fang Heng knocked on the window and signaled for the three of them to roll down the window. "Follow me. "

Cheng Ya and the others got out of the car and followed Fang Heng into the Dark Knights' camp.

As soon as they entered the camp, they smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

Seeing the mountain of medicinal ingredients piled up in the camp, Cheng Ya and the others were a little confused. "So many medicinal ingredients? " they thought.

Looking around, they realized that the entire camp was filled with medicinal ingredients. Except for the main passage, the other places were filled with medicinal ingredients.

Just then, Cheng Ya recalled how she seemed to have heard during the meeting not long ago that Fang Heng had requested a large batch of medicinal ingredients from District 7 of the Federation.

Although the commander-in-chief of District 7 was very unwilling to provide the ingredients to such a competitor, the reputation of the Federation was important, so he still held it in and accepted the request. He drew out a large amount of reserve ingredients to give to Fang Heng.

At first, they thought that the medicinal ingredients were needed by an organization or shelter that Fang Heng relied on or had created himself.

However, it turned out that he was the one who needed them.

"But why does he need so many medicinal ingredients himself? Does he have a place to store them? " Like Cheng Ya, Wei Chun and the other person were full of confusion.

"Let me introduce you. This is Ai Lei from the Dark Knights. "

Ai Lei nodded at the three of them.

"These are the people I invited to help deliver the goods. " Fang Heng turned to look at Cheng Ya, then pointed at the few old trucks beside her.

"Our mission is to transport. As you can see, there are a lot of medicinal ingredients in the camp, and this is only a part of it. There are still a lot of medicinal ingredients that will be delivered here one after another. Ai Lei will be temporarily lending these four trucks to us. Try to maximize truck capacity by filling them to the brim. Then, send them back. I will be at the warehouse. "

"Send them back? Where? " Cheng Ya was dazed.

"Send them back to the Scavenger Army of Edge Creek Town, the place we just came from. "

"Scavenger Army? Helping the enemy in front of the Dark Knights? Is that a good idea? " Cheng Ya was a little confused for a moment. She carefully looked at Ai Lei.

However, she saw that Ai Lei didn't react at all and was still smiling, seemingly in a good mood.

Those who did not know would have thought that the Dark Knights and the Scavenger Army were working together as a partnership, and that they were funding each other's resources.

Wei Chun and the others were at a loss.

They looked at each other, and their worldview was a little shattered.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with this batch of medicinal ingredients? Are Fang Heng and the Dark Knights secretly joining hands to set up a trap for the Scavenger Army? " they wondered.

Ai Lei uttered, "Thank you for your hard work. People from my side will help you load the medicinal ingredients into the trucks. However, we can't go into Edge Creek Town, so we can't help with that. "

"Thanks, bro. Let me know if you need anything in the future. " Fang Heng patted Ai Lei's shoulder and handed a few bottles of coffee to Cheng Ya and the others. "Let's get to work. Don't just stand there. We have to hurry up and deliver them. There are still a lot of medicinal ingredients on the way, too. If everything goes smoothly, we'll probably be able to move them all by tomorrow afternoon... "

"By tomorrow afternoon? What's that supposed to mean? Are we expected to transport medicinal ingredients for a full day? Just how many ingredients are there? " the trio thought.

Wei Chun had his mouth agape as he turned to look at Cheng Ya.

Cheng Ya nodded at Fang Heng. "All right. We'll do it as quickly as possible. "

Wei Chun silently took the coffee from Fang Heng, opened the lid, and drank it in one gulp.

"It was indeed difficult to earn money these days, " he thought.

Chapter 400: Up to No Good

"The IT department has already verified that the player who appeared in District 7 is undoubtedly Fang Heng from District 8. "

After confirming that the player on the leaderboard rankings was Fang Heng from District 8, the various large guilds felt as if they were facing a great enemy.

They were truly afraid!

They had studied videos of Fang Heng in District 8 over and over again.

In the videos, the strength that Fang Heng displayed was enough to destroy a small shelter in District 7 and deal a devastating blow to a medium-sized shelter. Only a large-sized shelter could defend against him.

Many large guilds had considered directly recruiting Fang Heng.

Unfortunately, the countless offers sank like stones into the sea. Fang Heng's gaming work studio simply ignored them.

It had been more than ten years since the start of Server 7, and the game had already entered a stable state. Most of the benefits in the game had already been split up.

Now that they had a powerful competitor like Fang Heng, it meant that a portion of their resources would definitely be split up.

No one was willing to let such a thing happen.

As the leading guild of Server 7, after receiving the news of Fang Heng, Leftway Gaming Guild immediately gathered all the major game guilds to participate in a long-distance video conference.

"The latest news from the black market confirms that Fang Heng is currently in Edge Creek Town. "

"I've heard that the players in Edge Creek town are currently fighting with the Scavenger Army. Why would Fang Heng go there? "

"It might be related to the main storyline, but that's not important. Fang Heng has just arrived in District 7. Taking advantage of the fact that he's still young, getting rid of him now is our best chance. The longer we drag this out, the harder it will be to deal with him. "

A middle-aged man nodded in agreement. "I've studied Fang Heng's information, and his growth rate is too terrifying. At first, I didn't believe it, but look at how many days it's been. His main storyline contribution points in District 7 have already reached eighth place... "

"No matter the cost, we have to get rid of this competitor in advance and chase him back to District 8. "

"I have contacted Dragon Country Game Company of Edge Creek Town and asked to use their teleportation passage and shelter as the frontline battlefield. "

The guild leader of Leftway Gaming Guild interrupted the discussion and said, "It's time to make a decision. Everyone, the future is in our hands. "

...

"Medicinal ingredients... "

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the trees and left a mottled mark on the road.

Cheng Ya gulped down her twelfth bottle of coffee.

For several hours, she had been transporting materials back and forth between the Dark Knights' camp and Edge Creek Town. Cheng Ya was already a little dazed.

Why did Fang Heng collect so many medicinal ingredients?

Could it be for the main storyline?

Did the main storyline require him to help the Scavenger Army?

No matter how she looked at it, it looked like he was funding the enemy.

Just as she was thinking about it, Cheng Ya received an urgent message from her superiors via the survival radio.

She hurriedly parked the truck by the roadside and immediately went offline.

"Cheng Ya, I just received news that the seventeen large-sized guilds in District 7 have reached an agreement to deal with Fang Heng together. "

Cheng Ya was shocked when she heard that.

The players in District 7 had never been that united. She did not expect that they would reach an agreement so quickly to deal with Fang Heng.

"It is reported that this operation has been secretly organized by Leftway Gaming Guild. Seventeen guilds have gathered overnight through the space tearing device at the time passage near District 7's Edge Creek Town. They are expected to launch an attack on Edge Creek Town around noon or the afternoon. On the surface, the reason is to resolve the threat that the Scavenger Army poses to the various large-sized shelters in Edge Creek Town. However, the main goal is to kill Fang Heng. "

Seventeen large-sized guilds were united.

If they could truly unite in good faith and form a bond, the strength they could exert would be difficult to resist even for the Federation of District 7.

Cheng Ya realized that Fang Heng was going to be in trouble.

"Chief, what should we do? "

"I've asked for instructions. The latest instructions from superiors are to play by ear. "

"Yes, I understand. "

Cheng Ya inwardly understood that District 7's executive officer also didn't want Fang Heng to enter District 7. After all, his entry would affect the Federation's control over District 7 and the completion of the main storyline.

If they could use the present opportunity to chase Fang Heng out of District 7, they would most likely be happy to do so.

Even if they couldn't chase him out, they could have a good gauge of Fang Heng's strength after the battle.

At the same time, in the game, Fang Heng also received an emergency hint from the game.

"Hint: you have received an emergency message from the external game cabin. Message: God, it's an emergency. Find an opportunity to go offline. It's quite urgent. I'll wait for you. "

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Emergency?

Could it be that there was trouble in District 8?

Fang Heng parked the truck to the side, threw down a sleeping bag on the spot, and went offline.

Entering the game cabin, Fang Heng saw Mo Jiawei pacing around his guest room anxiously.

"What's wrong? It can't be... "

Mo Jiawei wasn't in the mood to joke and said, "We're in big trouble, God. We've been exposed. "

"Huh? "

"F*ck! " Mo Jiawei cursed in a low voice and explained, "A friend of mine just told me that the player guilds in District 7 are going to join forces to deal with you, a single person! "

"Oh? How are they going to deal with me? " Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

He was a little surprised that the news leaked so quickly.

However, the leak was not what Fang Heng was most interested in right now.

He was very curious about how the player guilds of District 7 was going to deal with him. After all, he was alone in District 7 and did not even have a large-sized shelter.

"They already know that you are hiding in Edge Creek Town. They are going to launch an attack on Fate Creek Town at noon after daybreak and completely destroy the Scavenger Army. At the same time, they are going to think of a way to kill you and drive you out of District 7. "

"They're planning to directly attack the Scavenger Army? Are they that brave? " Fang Heng was shocked.

He couldn't help but lower his head and stroke his chin, thinking.

He didn't expect District 7's reaction to be so big.

They actually rushed all the way to Edge Creek Town to find trouble with the Scavenger Army.

"Would the Scavenger Army not be able to hold on? They'll probably need to be fed all the potions available. "

Originally, Fang Heng planned to burn down the warehouse after exchanging all the completed warlord potions for rewards.

After all, he was on the side of the Dark Knights, so he didn't want to bring trouble to himself with the warlord potions.

Now, since the players of District 7 had come, he had to change his plan.

He would let the players of District 7 fight with the potion-fed Scavenger Army.

Even if the Scavenger Army lost, he still had a zombie team to fight with.

If that also didn't work out, he would run away.

If both sides fought, he might be able to earn more contribution points.

"Yes! Let them fight! " thought Fang Heng, who felt that he wouldn't be disadvantaged anyway.

The prerequisite for earning enough contribution points was that he had to submit the mission before both sides started fighting.

For some reason, seeing the smile on Fang Heng's face, Mo Jiawei couldn't help but shiver, thinking, "Is God up to something again? "

Fang Heng raised his head and said, "All right, I understand. I'll teach them a lesson. Oh right, the defense of District 8 still needs to be strengthened. Be careful of Server 7 coming to look for trouble. Let's contact each other if anything happens... "

Chapter 401: Surprise

In the morning, Osborne went to the medicinal ingredients warehouse to inspect as usual.

He noticed a big truck parked at the entrance of the warehouse.

Several members of the Scavenger Army were helping to move the big boxes from the truck.

The big boxes were piled at the entrance of the warehouse, taking up a lot of space.

Osborne frowned and walked up, asking, "What's with the truck? Where did these goods come from? Why are they piled in this warehouse? "

"It's Fang Heng. He said that part of the supplementary medicinal ingredients needed to make the potion has been used up, so he got a batch of them himself. "

Osborne was stunned when he heard that.

"Used up? So fast? How? Did he eat the medicinal ingredients for his meal? " Osborne was puzzled as he thought.

Just then, he saw Roche coming over with a group of Scavenger Army NPCs not far away.

"Roche? "

"Osborne, is Fang Heng in your warehouse? " Roche looked into the warehouse and said, "I'm looking for him. He said he would give me a surprise today. "

"Yeah, I'm looking for him too. " Osborne nodded.

While the two conversed, a guard hurried over from the side. He whispered into Osborne's ear and told him in detail about Fang Heng summoning the zombie team in the warehouse last night.

"Zombie Recruitment? Fang Heng's special ability? The guards didn't guard the warehouse last night? " Osborne frowned as questions filled his mind. "Fang Heng's really a worrisome fellow! "

Just then, another truck full of medicinal ingredients drove over from a distance and stopped outside the warehouse.

"Hi, Roche, Osborne. " Fang Heng jumped down from the truck and waved at the two of them.

Osborne asked in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, what's with these medicinal ingredients? I heard that you used up the medicinal ingredients in the warehouse? "

"Indeed, there weren't enough medicinal ingredients. In the end, we still lacked a type of supplementary medicinal ingredient, so we had no choice but to stop the potion production. " Fang Heng's tone carried some regret.

Osborne was even more puzzled. He felt that Fang Heng wasn't telling the truth. "These medicinal ingredients were all obtained by you alone? "

"Of course. It took me quite a bit of effort. "

"Hmph! " Roche snorted heavily, interrupting the conversation. His patience had already been worn to the limit. "You two, let's talk about these details later. Fang Heng, where's the surprise you promised me? "

"It's ready. Please follow me, Roche, " Fang Heng said as he took the lead and walked toward the warehouse at the back.

Osborne and Roche followed him into the warehouse.

The former was stunned when he saw the scene in the warehouse.

In the warehouse, a few potioneers who were originally in charge of making potions looked exhausted as they busily sorted the ingredients for the making the warlord potion.

Boxes of finished products of the warlord potion were packed at the edge of the warehouse.

"What's going on? It's only been one night. When did so many finished products of the warlord potion become available? Is it really as Fang Heng said? Have all the medicinal ingredients in the warehouse been used up and made into potions? " Osborne inwardly thought in shock.

Roche was also shocked, and joy flashed across his face. "Fang Heng, you said that these potions are all warlord potions? "

"They're the real deal. "

Osborne couldn't believe what he was seeing. He suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Heng. "You made them alone? "

Fang Heng had a smile on his face, and he pointed at the potioneers who were living a life worse than death.

"It's not just me. They helped me a lot. "

Osborne turned his head to look at the potioneers.

The potioneer NPCs each revealed a smile that was uglier than a crying face.

"How did he do it? It's impossible to complete so many potions in one night even with the help of other people! " mused Osborne.

He was very clear about the standards of the potioneers present. It was already extraordinary for them to complete 50 bottles in a day. 1000 bottles of potions were a tall order for them even if he threatened their lives.

"Could there be a problem with the potions? ! " Osborne realized the possibility, and his heart skipped a beat.

Face darkened, he walked to a filled box at the side and picked up a bottle of potion to examine.

As he opened the bottle cap, a familiar smell entered his nose.

Osborne took a small sip.

"Huh? There's no problem with the potion. It's indeed an E-grade warlord potion! The quality's not considered high, but it's definitely decent! Still... How can this be? How could he produce so many decent products in one night? "

Osborne picked up another bottle and yet another bottle, both of which were decent products.

He took a few steps to the side, opened another box, and took out a bottle.

It was also a decent product!

The situation before Osborne was beyond his understanding.

Reason told him that there was definitely a problem with the products that had been produced in such large quantities overnight. However, he couldn't figure out the problem.

Osborne's expression was a little scary.

Roche looked at Osborne checking the boxes one by one and could not help but walk to Osborne's side. "After checking for so long, how is it? Are the potions considered decent enough? "

Osborne stopped his movement and remained silent. He turned around to look at Fang Heng.

"Damn it! Speak! " Upon seeing that Osborne was dawdling and not speaking, Roche felt anger rise in his heart. He could not hold it in any longer. Without saying anything, he casually picked up a bottle of warlord potion from the box and poured it into his mouth.

As the potion flowed into his mouth, a familiar coolness flowed through his body. It was as refreshing as drinking a big mouthful of bubbly ice cola on a hot day!

Bang!

Roche crushed the bottle in his hand by exerting a little strength. "Hahaha! It's really a warlord potion! "

He turned back to look at Fang Heng, his eyes burning. "Good, Fang Heng! You didn't disappoint me! Your contribution to this mission will not be forgotten! "

"Thank you for your trust. " Fang Heng smiled and nodded to Roche.

Osborne recounted the boxes piled up in the warehouse with an incredulous expression.

There were thousands of bottles of warlord potions in the warehouse!

"How did he make this many overnight? It's theoretically impossible! " Osborne wondered.

He then looked at Fang Heng, "Fang Heng, how did you do it? "

"In the apocalyptic world, people like us have to have some skills to survive, don't we? " Fang Heng said and gestured to the potioneers in the room with his eyes. "I will continue to make more warlord potions. I'll be temporarily commanding them. They can help me. "

"Sure, " Osborne immediately agreed to Fang Heng's request. His initial shock and disbelief turned into ecstasy.

No matter how Fang Heng did it, he was definitely a genius in potion making!

With such efficiency in producing potions, the Scavenger Army would be able to supply warlord potions to the few areas near Edge Creek Town. The biggest problem that Scavenger Army had been facing could then be considered solved!

More importantly, Fang Heng actually had a way to procure a large amount of medicinal ingredients!

Chapter 402: Quickly Farming Contribution Points

It meant that they could still concoct more warlord potions.

From a certain point of view, the amount of warlord potions determined the overall combat strength of the Scavenger Army.

Compared to Fang Heng's powerful potion making skill, nothing else was important!

No matter what secrets Fang Heng had, as long as he could make the warlord potion, everything would be done to satisfy him!

Roche did not understand what Fang Heng and Osborne were talking about.

He only knew that their entire team could have a large amount of warlord potions now! They no longer had to search high and low for the potions or drink a bottle only when they had no choice.

They could drink all they want!

Roche licked his lips and picked up another bottle of warlord potion. He lifted the bottle cap and poured the bottle's contents into his mouth, soon feeling an endless amount of strength in his body. He couldn't wait to test his strength on a few of those survivors and vent his anger.

"With so many of the potions, wouldn't it be easy to deal with those stubborn people from the shelter in Edge Creek Town? I've had to suffer consecutive defeats the past two days. I'm getting back at them today! " A fierce light flashed in Roche's eyes again as he thought.

"Brothers, each of you bring twenty bottles. It's time to teach those trashes a lesson! " Roche raised his right hand high. "Follow me! Crush them together! "

"Rahh! "

When the members of the Scavenger Army heard that there were sufficient warlord potions to be distributed, they all became excited and roared like wild beasts along with Roche.

For a time, the morale of the Scavenger Army was sky-high!

Fang Heng stood on the side and looked at the excited survivors. A row of game hints rapidly refreshed before him.

"Hint: you have provided 2812 warlord potions to Osborne. "

"Hint: totaling the warlord potions' grade points, the Scavenger Army's points are 3,556,500. Your level in the Scavenger Army has increased to level 14 (Tier 2 Warzone Commander) . "

"Hint: your favorability rating with Roche has greatly increased. "

"Hint: your favorability rating with Osborne has greatly increased. "

"Hint: Roche has distributed the warlord potions to the elite members of the Scavenger Army. The morale of the army's players has greatly increased. Player has received the special enhancement skill 'High Fighting Spirit' (additional increase in combat strength and final damage) . "

He had directly risen by 8 levels!

Fang Heng licked his lips.

Roche seemed to be a Tier 3 Warzone Commander. Fang Heng was only one level away from being on par with him.

Though quite satisfying to rise so quickly, it was not enough. There was a long way to go before he could reach the top level.

The Federation still had a large batch of medicinal ingredients to be sent over. Fang Heng estimated that he would more or less reach his goal after using all the ingredients to make the potions.

Heart burning with passion, he prepared to continue the hardcore potion-making.

Roche was full of praise as he patted Fang Heng's shoulder. "Fang Heng, you've done very well! I'll be bringing some people to clean up the remaining few areas of Edge Creek Town. Do you want to continue staying here to produce potions for Osborne, or do you want to come with me and chop off those bastards? "

"I think I'd better stay. There are still many medicinal ingredients that will be sent over one after another. A few of them have very sensitive time-limited effects. If I delay using them for too long, it'll be a waste. "

"That works. " Roche nodded and patted Fang Heng's shoulder. "When we come back, we'll celebrate together. "

"Also, I heard some rumors that those bastards have gathered a lot of people and want to completely destroy the Scavenger Army. I suggest we start from this place. " Fang Heng took out a map and pointed out a players' shelter.

"Heh, they want to destroy us? Fine! Let's start with them! "

To Roche, no matter which shelter's players he chose to kill first, it was the same!

"Brothers! Get ready immediately! We'll set off in an hour! "

"Roar! ! ! "

The Scavenger Army soldiers roared, again and again, unrestrainedly venting their anger.

When Roche left with the group full of fighting spirit, Osborne turned back to look at Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng, I need you to focus on making the warlord potion. You have full authority over everyone here. If you encounter any problems, come to me. I will do my best to help you solve them. In addition, I will urgently gather a new batch of medicinal ingredients. Can you handle things here by yourself? "

"Of course. "

Fang Heng thought to himself, "Isn't it just making potions? That's easy. The more, the better! "

The previous night, the first wave of proliferators appeared, and the efficiency of making potions doubled. In the present day's night, the second and third waves of proliferators would spawn. Only then would the efficiency reach its peak.

Fang Heng copied Osborne's tone from yesterday and added, "As many medicinal ingredients as you have. "

"Hahaha! Great! " Osborne was unusually excited. "When this matter is over, I will personally report your achievements to Lord Cook Barn. "

Cheng Ya, who was waiting in the truck to unload the goods, heard the noise coming from the warehouse.

What was going on?

Cheng Ya poked her head out of the window and looked at the warehouse outside.

Coincidentally, she saw Roche leading a group of high-spirited members of the Scavenger Army out of the warehouse.

From the looks of it, there was going to be another large-scale operation. Almost the entire team was mobilized.

"What happened in the warehouse? " wondered Cheng Ya.

After following Fang Heng to the warehouse, the entire Scavenger Army became even more excited.

Cheng Ya had a very bad feeling in her heart.

She frowned slightly and lowered her head to look at the time.

According to the time, the player guilds in District 7 were almost ready to set off.

It was very likely that they would meet them halfway!

"No! I have to report this matter in advance, " thought Cheng Ya.

"Hey! "

"Ah? Fang Heng? "

Fang Heng who appeared at the car window gave Cheng Ya a fright.

"Here, take these. "

Fang Heng threw a few cans of coffee into the car through the car window.

"Thanks for your hard work. " Fang Heng waved at Cheng Ya. "There are still a lot of medicinal ingredients left with the Dark Knights. We have limited manpower, so I'm counting on you. I promise to get you the divine potion that I promised you. "

"Okay, good. "

After getting a huge number of contribution points, Fang Heng was in a good mood. He hummed a tune and walked straight to the central square of the town.

Cheng Ya picked up one of the cans of coffee and took a sip. She sent a message to the Federation's contact person through the survival radio, reminding him to pay attention to the unusual movements of the Scavenger Army. Then, she started the truck and continued helping to transport the goods.

In the town's central square, Fang Heng walked to Yatu.

"Fang Heng, you didn't lie to me. Your talent in potion making amazes even me. You are indeed a genius. "

"Ha, I'm not a genius. I'm just lucky. "

Having earned a large number of contribution points, Fang Heng was ready to see what item Yatu had that was worth exchanging for.

After being promoted to a Warzone Commander, Fang Heng could see a considerable increase in the variety of exchangeable items on Yatu's exchange column.

Opening the exchange column, Fang Heng was immediately drawn to the purplish-red potion in the first row.

Chapter 403: Ambush

"Item: high-tier divine potion. "

Description: A special potion made by the Scavenger Army. It is extremely difficult to make and is extremely rare. Only high-tier commanders in the Scavenger Army can exchange for it.

Warning (triggered by low-level game difficulty) : this potion has been determined to be a high-risk potion. After taking it, there is a high probability the player will receive damage. Before using it, the player needs to have taken the middle-tier divine potion and meet a certain physique requirement. Forcefully consuming it may cause irreversible and unknown consequences.

"So... The worm inside the high-tier potion is stronger than the worm inside the low-tier potion? Or is there a special ingredient in this high-tier potion that can allow the worm inside the body to evolve to a higher level? " Fang Heng pondered and conveniently bought three bottles each of high-tier, middle-tier, and low-tier potions, preparing to bring them back to Qiu Yaokang's laboratory for research.

High-tier potions were extremely expensive. One bottle alone cost 700,000 contribution points.

Fortunately, he had earned more than three million contribution points through potion making, which was enough to exchange for them.

After purchasing them, Fang Heng continued to browse through the remaining materials.

Besides high-tier potions, there were also many high-tier construction materials in the exchange column.

"Eh? A cart? " Fang Heng's gaze focused on the body of the cart on the exchange column.

...

As the lead organizer of the collective operation, Leftway Gaming Guild had invested a large amount of manpower and resources in the operation.

Most of the guild leaders of the various guilds had elected Tian town as the temporary commander.

The guild leader of the Dragon Country Guild was extremely familiar with the region of Edge Creek Town. The guild leader, Niu Xia, had fought with the Scavenger Army of Edge Creek Town a few times and was very experienced. He had been elected as one of the deputy commanders of the operation.

Niu Xia just received the news that Fang Heng transferred to District 7 not long ago. He immediately thought of the incident where he had been attacked by the Scavenger Army and could neither sleep nor eat well. Even in his dreams, he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Fang Heng.

Now, the opportunity had come!

He had to get rid of Fang Heng once and for all!

Half an hour ago, after the players from the various large-sized gaming unions had gathered, they set off for Edge Creek Town.

Halfway there, Tao Yunlei, a captain of Leftway Gaming Guild, who was in charge of scouting ahead, hurriedly walked up and reported, "Boss Tian! The front scouting team has encountered the Scavenger Army! With roughly five to six hundred people, they are about two kilometers away from us and are heading toward our position. "

Tian Zhen was shocked when he heard that.

"Five to six hundred people? ! The entire Scavenger Army is being mobilized? "

Niu Xia nodded and said, "Excluding the non-combatants, the actual number of combatants in the Scavenger Army of Edge Creek Town is less than six hundred. It should be all of them. "

Tian Zhen and the other guild leaders exchanged glances. They could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

What a good opportunity!

If they attacked Edge Creek Town directly, the Scavenger Army would have the geographical advantage, which would affect their offensive strength. Now, the other side actually took the initiative to leave Edge Creek Town.

Even the heavens were on their side! It would be a perfect ambush!

Tian Zhen could feel the eagerness in the eyes of the commanders of the other guilds.

Taking a deep breath, Niu Xia took the opportunity to suggest, "Edge Creek Town's Scavenger Army isn't very strong. Our strength is enough to crush them. Since we're meeting them outside their home ground this time, we won't lose. If we launch an attack now, we can minimize the casualties. "

Tian Zhen nodded and looked at the players. "Where's Fang Heng? Is he inside? "

Tao Yunlei replied, "For the time being, our members haven't seen Fang Heng, so we can't confirm that. "

"Okay. Let's stop where we are and prepare to ambush! Set up a defensive line and completely destroy the Scavenger Army! "

After making the battle decision, the guild leaders immediately led their subordinate players to prepare for battle in batches and set up a defensive line.

For some reason, Tian Zhen felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that he had seen too much news about Fang Heng recently?

"Niu Xia, based on your understanding of the Scavenger Army, what are our chances of winning? "

Niu Xia was extremely confident about the upcoming battle. "Even if we forcefully attack Edge Creek Town, we still have a 100% chance of winning. If we're fighting outside of Edge Creek Town, it's even more impossible for us to lose! "

"All right! "

Just a moment later, the roaring sound of motorcycles came from the front.

"Scavenger Army! " Tian Zhen's gaze was fixed on the Scavenger Army that was gradually approaching.

When the other party stepped into the shooting range, Tian Zhen suddenly waved his hand forward. "Begin! Shoot! ! ! "

Bang, bang, bang! ! ! !

A series of gunshots sounded.

The Scavenger Army, suddenly attacked, immediately fell into chaos.

"F*ck! You still dare to personally offer your lives up to us? ! " Having encountered a sudden attack halfway, Roche was so angry that he laughed. He raised a huge alloy explosion-proof shield in front of him and poured a bottle of potion into his mouth. "Charge! Crush them! "

The Scavenger Army NPCs were a little confused at first. However, they soon took out bulletproof shields, hid behind them, and drank bottles of warlord potions.

In an instant, the army soldiers felt as if they had endless strength!

After Roche swallowed a bottle of potion, his body grew by a few times. He held the modified explosion-proof shield in one hand in front of him and rushed toward the enemy's front line players.

Most of the bullets were blocked by the explosion-proof shield. Occasionally, the bullets passed by Roche's body, but most of them only grazed his skin slightly.

"How can he be so strong? "

Tian Zhen stared at the battlefield, his eyes full of fear.

Unlike those in his shelter area, the strength of the Scavenger Army soldiers from Edge Creek Town was shocking and on a completely different level!

The damage caused by ordinary bullets to them was greatly reduced!

Tao Yunlei observed the situation on the field and frowned. Raising his Barrett, he activated his skill "Enhanced Shot. "

Bang!

He pulled the trigger.

The bullet grazed the arm of a member of the Scavenger Army, and his entire right arm was blown up.

Blood and flesh splattered!

An ordinary person would have fainted from the pain! However, the soldier did not seem to feel any pain. Eyes flashing with madness, he used his left hand to drink a bottle of potion and rushed over with a shield in one hand.

"What's going on? " Tao Yunlei was shocked.

Having fought with the Scavenger Army for so long, it was the first time he encountered such a situation.

"A normal low-level member of the Scavenger Army has become so strong? This huge improvement's terrifying! " he thought.

Meanwhile, seeing Roche rushing over with the Scavenger Army, Tian Zhen forced himself to remain calm.

"Ambush team, forward! ! "

As soon as he said that, the players lying in ambush in the woods on both sides of the path revealed themselves and shot at the Scavenger Army soldiers.

The flank was suddenly attacked, and more than ten Scavenger Army members instantly fell, falling into chaos again.

However, in less than half a minute, the situation was reversed.

"Hahaha! Is that all you got? ! "

Despite having been ambushed, Roche did not have any fear. His eyes flashed with bloodthirsty madness.

Chapter 404: Self-Sacrifice

Roche laughed out loud. He raised his modified shotgun with one hand and fired back at the players in the forest.

The Scavenger Army soldiers were the same as Roche. The pain of being hit by bullets made them even crazier and more fearless. One by one, they raised their guns and fired back.

The two teams that participated in the ambush initially wanted to cooperate with each other to launch an ambush. They did not expect the Scavenger Army to be so tough. Since they lacked suitable cover, they immediately retreated one after another!

In the blink of an eye, the death rate of those that participated in the ambush reached a high point.

The guild leader of the Dragon Country Guild, Niu Xia, kept lying down with cold sweat running down his face. He thought, "What's going on? ! Something isn't right! When did the Scavenger Army become so strong? ! It wasn't like this yesterday! Why did the strength of the Scavenger Army increase so much in just one day? The strength they're displaying is completely different from yesterday when they attacked the shelter! All the guilds participating in this operation sent high-level players, yet we can't withstand the Scavenger Army's attacks! "

"What the f*ck! What kind of information did you give us? ! " The deputy commander of Hidden Tiger Gaming Company, Qian Yu, who participated in the ambush, fled back with the defeated soldiers. Their company suffered the most losses! More than half of their men had died in a head-on clash with the Scavenger Army.

Qian Yu's heart was aching as if it were bleeding. He grabbed Niu Xia's collar with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could swallow the latter whole. "Didn't you say that we could completely crush them with our strength? How did this happen? ! Huh? ! Speak! "

"I... " Niu Xia was momentarily at a loss for words. "I don't know what happened either. They weren't this strong yesterday. "

"Stop it! Now is not the time to argue. " Tian Zhen's face was gloomy.

After the Scavenger Army finished off the ambush players, they continued to approach their enemy's defensive line. They raised their bulletproof shields to block while striding toward the line's cover. From time to time, they even used shotguns to fire back.

The most terrifying thing was that despite the Scavenger Army NPCs obviously having had their limbs shot off and bodies hit by bullets, as long as their heads were still there, after drinking a bottle of potion, they could still endure the pain and continue to fight.

Although the Scavenger Army also suffered casualties, it was nothing compared to their enemy's.

Tian Zhen had thought that victory was within their grasp, but he did not expect the gap to be so huge!

His heart sank. "If this continues, once the Scavenger Army gets close to the cover, they would be within close combat range and be at an even greater advantage! Our team would be completely crushed! "

The other guild commanders thought the same thing. Their faces darkened, and they hated Dragon Country Guild to death in their hearts.

Tian Zhen took a deep breath, musing, "I'll have to take one for the team. Survival of the group takes priority over that of the individual! "

"You Guys retreat first! " Tian Zhen clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh. He said in a deep voice, "I'll bring my people to stay and buy you guys three minutes. "

At such a critical moment, Tian Zhen chose to stay behind personally.

The commanders of the other player teams all turned to look at Tian Zhen in admiration as they knew they wouldn't have been able to make the same decision.

Nodding at Tian Zhen with respect, they immediately led their player teams to retreat.

...

During the day, Fang Heng could move the medicinal ingredients that were stored with the Dark Knights back. At night, he could control the zombies into an assembly line and make the potions.

With everything planned out, Fang Heng went offline to take a nap. He was prepared to stay up late and grind contribution points after he recovered his stamina at night.

When he woke up, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Fang Heng stuffed himself with some food and prepared to return to the game.

"With the warlord potion, it shouldn't be a problem for Roche to deal with those players. Otherwise, he's really weak, " Fang Heng muttered as he walked to the study room in the back garden.

The zombies had finished reading the few books that he previously brought into the game from the study. Since he had nothing to do, he thought he might as well think of a way to bring two more books into the game for the zombies to study.

After all, reading was an important activity.

Butler Sun was arranging for the cleaners to clean the back garden. When he saw Fang Heng, he nodded and greeted him, "Mr. Fang Heng, have you been well these days? "

"Thank you for taking care of me. This place is very nice, " Fang Heng said and stretched his body. "I haven't read for a long time. I'm going to the study to read for a while. Mr. Mo should be back soon, right? "

"Yes, the family head will be back in two days. I'll take you to the study. "

After chatting with Butler Sun for a while and being dragged along to do the registration, Fang Heng entered the study.

"Huh? "

There was a girl in a white dress in the study. She had shoulder-length black hair and was sitting in front of a small table, holding an ancient book in her hand.

Her skin was fair, her eyes especially big.

At first glance, she looked like a character from a manga.

The girl noticed Fang Heng's gaze and turned her head.

Meeting his gaze, Xiao Ruoruo felt her heart skip a beat, and she immediately blocked her vision using the book.

Fang Heng took the initiative to greet her. "Hey there. "

"Hey, I'm Xiao Ruoruo. Are you Fang Heng? I heard Butler Sun mention you before. "

After Fang Heng closed the study door, he noticed that Xiao Ruoruo was holding a book in her hand.

"Yeah, I'm Fang Heng. Are you also here to read? "

"Yup. " Xiao Ruoruo nodded. "Fang Heng, are you studying Occult? I saw the blue crystal raw ores outside. At first, Mr. Sun thought they were just ordinary stone fragments. "

"No wonder Butler Sun found a large warehouse to store the ores, " thought Fang Heng.

He then responded, "Yes, I'm studying Occult. Do you also study Occult? "

Xiao Ruoruo waved her hand repeatedly. "No, no, I study Sealing Alchemy. It's closely related to Occult. "

"Sealing Alchemy... " Fang Heng immediately thought of something. "The advanced game world, Nightmare World. "

In that world, the dream world and the real world partly intersected, and a monster called the nightmare demon rampaged the world.

In the hundreds of years of battle with the Nightmare Demon, humans mastered the special skill called Sealing Alchemy.

Humans could use Sealing Alchemy to seal demons into Alchemy Sealing Cards.

High-tier alchemists could use summon sealed demons from the cards to fight for them.

"Are you an advanced game world player? "

"Well, I... " Xiao Ruoruo felt a little uneasy as she spoke. She avoided Fang Heng's gaze and stammered, "Y-Yes, sort of. "

Fang Heng felt strange in his heart, thinking. "Sort of? What kind of answer is that? Why's it so ambiguous? "

"Oh, okay. " Not asking further, he stood up and started to search for Occult books related to potions in the study.

The most important thing at the moment was to increase the success rate of potion making. After reading the relevant books, he had a chance of gaining potionology skill experience points and increasing his potionology level.

Xiao Ruoruo secretly looked at Fang Heng from behind.

After a long time, she mustered up her courage and stood up, carefully asking, "Fang Heng, can you lend me a blue crystal raw ore from the warehouse for research? "

"Of course. Take whatever's left in the warehouse for research as you please. Just don't give the ores to anyone else, " Fang Heng casually gave consent with his back facing her, still looking for a book. "Oh, right, be careful. Don't destroy them. "

Chapter 405: Secretly Manipulating

"Thank you! "

Xiao Ruoruo thanked him gratefully.

"Fang Heng, what books are you looking for? I've read most of the books here. I can help. "

Fang Heng was a little surprised. He turned his head to look at Xiao Ruoruo. "Really? You've read all of them? "

"Mhm... " Xiao Ruoruo lowered her head. "It's just that I didn't understand a few... "

"I'm looking for books related to potionology. Can you help me? "

"Yes. I remember there are three books related to potionology. "

"You also know about potionology? "

"A little. Potionology is a branch of Occult, and it's also related to the production of alchemy powder. " Xiao Ruoruo was a little shy. She walked to the other side of the bookshelf. "But potionology and alchemy are two different branches. Alchemy focuses on stimulating the characteristics of a single drug and purifying it. "

"Oh... "

Fang Heng casually agreed, indicating that he didn't understand it at all.

Xiao Ruoruo walked to the side of the bookshelf, stood on her tiptoes, and took out two books from the bookshelf.

"Strange, there should be another one... why can't I find it... " Xiao Ruoruo looked for a while and muttered softly.

Ahem.

"It's okay. Two books are enough. "

Fang Heng thought to himself that the remaining book was still in District 8 and he had had no time to bring it back.

Walking forward, Fang Heng took the two books from Xiao Ruoruo's hands.

With a flick of his wrist, one of the books disappeared without a trace.

"Eh? That's amazing! How did brother you do that, Fang Heng? " Xiao Ruoruo widened her eyes, her face full of curiosity.

"Shh. " Fang Heng raised a finger and carefully looked outside the door. "It's just a little magic trick. Don't tell Butler Sun. "

...

"The operation was a complete failure. "

After reading the latest situation report, Kou Huai, the person in charge of District 7 of the Federation, put the report on his hand down and lowered his head to think.

He did consider that Fang Heng might win, but he didn't expect that Fang Heng would win so easily!

Throughout the entire battle, Fang Heng and his zombies didn't even show up. They easily defeated the army alliance of District 7's gaming unions.

The strength of the player guilds in District 7 was definitely not weak!

From the report, the overall strength of the Scavenger Army in Edge Creek Town had increased explosively.

Everything was related to Fang Heng.

Kou Huai was silent.

He felt a huge pressure.

Kou Huai had never thought that he would feel such a huge pressure from a single player.

"I'll never allow Server 7's main storyline to be taken away! " In order to obtain the final ownership of Server 7, Kou Huai had put in over ten years' worth of effort!

He would never allow anyone to snatch the fruit of victory from his hands.

Kou Huai's index finger lightly pressed on the table, clearly treating Fang Heng as a true opponent.

"Cheng Ya, you've been helping Fang Heng transport medicinal ingredients during the day, right? "

Cheng Ya was suddenly called to report to her superiors, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Yes, Sir. "

"What happened after that? What did Fang Heng do after the medicinal ingredients were transported into the warehouse? "

"The Scavenger Army guards the warehouse very vigilantly. It's very difficult to go in and investigate... " Cheng Ya paused for a moment and thought of something.

"Continue. "

"Yesterday, Roche was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the players' shelter in Edge Creek Town at night, but was stopped by Fang Heng. In the morning, Roche brought a few people to the warehouse. After coming out, he became very excited and immediately led the Scavenger Army out. "

Upon hearing that, Kou Huai understood that the key was to cut off the supply of medicinal ingredients.

It was likely that Fang Heng relied on the medicinal ingredients he obtained from the Federation and somehow increased the overall strength of the Scavenger Army using them.

Kou Huai felt a little displeased as he was the one who provided that batch of medicinal ingredients to Fang Heng.

He didn't expect that Fang Heng would use those very ingredients to deal with the players.

"Indulging in an enemy is indeed asking for trouble! " he thought.

Kou Huai raised his head and asked, "Ah Chen, how much more ingredients are scheduled for delivery to Fang Heng? "

The Federation soldier who was recording notes at the side flipped through the list and reported, "Sir, about half of the medicinal ingredients haven't been delivered yet. "

"Stop the supply of Fang Heng's medicinal ingredients immediately. "

"Yes! " The soldier asked, "As for the superiors... "

"Recently, the strength of the Scavenger Army in the game has increased greatly. Division 7 has temporarily entered a state of alert. There is an ingredient shortage. Tell the superiors and Fang Heng that we need more time to prepare this batch of medicinal ingredients. "

"Understood! "

Kou Huai looked at Cheng Ya again. "And you, stop helping Fang Heng deliver the medicinal ingredients immediately. In addition, I need you to keep an eye on Fang Heng's movements 24 hours a day in the game. Report immediately if there are any special situations. "

"Yes! "

"Also, tell me the exact coordinates of the place where the Dark Knights have gathered the ingredients at. "

Cheng Ya was startled. Raising her head and meeting Kou Huai's gaze, she sensed that Kou Huai must have sensed a threat. She thought, "Now, the Federation also wants us to attack Fang Heng secretly! "

"Edge Creek Town area 54189, 27111. "

"Go. Keep an eye on Fang Heng. "

"Understood! "

After Cheng Ya left, Kou Huai shifted his gaze to the Federation soldier next to him. "It's not convenient for us to act. Leak the news of Fang Heng and the Dark Knights to Tao Yunlei. He'll know what to do. "

...

"Fang Heng, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. We received orders from superiors to stop supplying the medicinal ingredients promised to you for now. The reason is that the Scavenger Army's strength has greatly increased in a short period of time, hence posing a threat to the safety of the people of District 7, requiring the district to enter a state of emergency. Once things return to normal, we will immediately supply you with medicinal ingredients. "

"Hmm... Emergency... " Fang Heng did not doubt it when he heard it, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Why's the Federation reacting so quickly this time? Is it because the Federation's commander-in-chief of District 7 has a very strong operational ability? Without the supply of medicinal ingredients from them, it's equivalent to missing out on a large number of contribution points I can get from potion making! " he mused.

"In addition, we need to keep an eye on the Scavenger Army's movements 24 hours a day. We can't continue to help you transport the goods. "

"Oh? Do you not want the divine potion anymore? "

"We are also in a difficult position because of the orders given by our superiors. "

"Forget it. " Fang Heng spread his hands and took out a bottle of low-tier divine potion and threw it to Cheng Ya.

"You've worked hard the whole day. I'll give you the reward. Let's work together again in the future if there's a chance to. "

Cheng Ya and the other two Federation players looked at one another.

They had never thought that Fang Heng would still give them the reward.

"Thank you. "

"No problem. " Fang Heng waved his hand.

He did not care about the fact that Cheng Ya and the others could not continue to help.

After all, he could not always rely on Cheng Ya to deliver the potions, and most importantly, Cheng Ya and the other two were not all that efficient.

He had greatly overestimated them. Based on their current efficiency, the three of them would probably need a week to finish delivering the goods.

To improve the situation, Fang Heng had a new plan.

As he was thinking, the sound of a truck horn sounded in the distance.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 406: Large Trucks

Cheng Ya and the others turned around when they heard the noise. More than a dozen large trucks were heading toward the warehouse.

One truck after another drove past everyone's front and stopped at the edge of the warehouse.

Osborne walked out from the passenger's seat, looking travelworn.

"Fang Heng. "

"Osborne, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you in the cold wind for a long time. "

"Do you think it's that easy? " Osborne said unhappily, "There are a total of 17 large trucks. All the trucks in the nearby area had been mobilized in the first instance. Each truck is equipped with a driver and a low-level army member for you to deploy. "

Cheng Ya and the other two looked at Fang Heng, who was talking to Osborne.

For a moment, their thoughts were a little messy, and confusion filled their minds. "What the hell? So many huge trucks were all mobilized by Fang Heng alone? Since when did Fang Heng have such a big say in the Scavenger Army? In just a few days, how much has his level increased in the Scavenger Army? Also... What's the purpose of mobilizing so many huge trucks all at once? It it also to for transporting medicinal ingredients? Is the Scavenger Army now the ones in charge of transporting them? Preparing so many large trucks in advance, could it be that Fang Heng's already predicted the Federation's actions? Have the Dark Knights and the Scavenger Army reached an alliance? "

Fang Heng and Osborne walked to the side of one of the large trucks. As Fang Heng inspected the truck, he praised, "Not bad, 70% of the goods are new. "

Osborne was exasperated. "Fang Heng, this is the greatest number of trucks that can be mobilized in a short period of time. I've already done what I promised you. The rest is up to you. You must ensure an adequate supply of the potions. "

"Of course. I'll take care of everything. "

"Mhm. In addition, you have to be responsible for the truck and the safety of the drivers. If there's a problem, you have to pay the corresponding contribution points as compensation. "

"Okay, okay, okay. Leave the rest to me. Just wait patiently for the goods tomorrow morning. " Fang Heng impatiently waved his hand and walked to the side of the warehouse. He motioned for the two warehouse guards to open the iron door of the large warehouse.

Then, Fang Heng shouted to the drivers on the trucks, "Everyone, drive the truck directly into the warehouse and rest for a while. There are still many goods that need to be moved... "

The trucks started up again and drove into the warehouse one after another.

"Thanks, Brother! " Until all the trucks entered the warehouse, Fang Heng waved at Osborne while following him into the warehouse.

"Tch, there's no sincerity at all. " Osborne shook his head and signaled the guard at the door to close the warehouse door.

In order to ensure smooth production of the potions, he decided to stand guard there personally.

On the side, Cheng Ya and the other two from the Federation looked at one another.

"Cheng Ya, what is Fang Heng doing this time? Why are there so many trucks all of a sudden? "

Cheng Ya shook her head, expressing her similar incomprehension.

Wei Chun suggested, "Should we sneak into the warehouse to take a look? "

Another Federation player asked, "How do we get in? "

Looking up, they saw Osborne and a few senior members of the Scavenger Army standing guard at the door.

It was impossible to force their way in.

Cheng Ya looked at the tightly shut warehouse door and shook her head. "The higher-ups have told us that we are to continue monitoring Fang Heng's movements and play by ear. "

"Let's take turns to rest. Two people will be here at any one time. Reach out immediately if anything happens... "

...

The interior of the warehouse was extremely empty. It was enough for 17 large trucks to stop temporarily.

Driving the large trucks into the warehouse and seeing the scene in the warehouse, the Scavenge Army's drivers could not help but feel a little scared.

40 tall Tyrant forms with a strong sense of oppression stood in two rows on both sides of the passage, forming two human walls.

The entire warehouse was filled with sizzling sounds.

Scarlet lickers could be seen in plain sight on the ground, the ceiling, and the surrounding walls.

Meanwhile, on the right side of the warehouse, there was a large zombie team!

For a moment, the drivers thought that they had come to the area in Meteorite Company specially designated for zombie team cultivation and not the Scavenger Army's warehouse.

After parking the 17 trucks in the designated area, the Scavenger Army members got off the trucks one by one.

Even though they had drunk the low-tier divine potion, they still felt stiff being stared at by so many zombies.

"Thank you for your hard work. We will have an operation tonight. During this period of time, go and rest. I will handle the transportation work. " Fang Heng stood in front of everyone with a smile. "Please don't wander about during this period of time. Just rest in the warehouse lounge area at the back. "

While he spoke, the zombie team dispersed into two rows and opened up a small path.

The Scavenger Army members looked at one another.

No matter how they looked at it, they felt that it was a threat.

Choosing to follow Fang Heng's instructions, they passed through the dense zombie team and went to the lounge at the back of the warehouse to rest.

After everyone entered the lounge, Fang Heng slowly walked to the trailer behind one of the trucks and lowered his head to check it.

"It's almost done... " Fang Heng muttered to himself as he controlled the Tyrant forms at the side to walk to the trucks.

Thud! Thud!

The Tyrants each strode to the trailer behind each truck and lay down flatly.

Thereafter, the vine zombies brought some firewood and covered the Tyrants with it. Then, they laid a layer of wooden planks on top of the firewood and stacked the boxes that they had prepared earlier on the topmost layer.

In the end, the Lickers also ran to the large trucks and slipped into the gap between the boxes and the bottom of the truck.

Looking at the fully-equipped large trucks, Fang Heng murmured, "This should be enough... "

...

The door to the warehouse opened again when the sun set.

Fang Heng poked his head out of the front passenger seat and greeted Osborne. "I'll go outside to load some goods. You know what I mean. "

"Do you need help? "

"It's okay. I can do it alone. "

Osborne curled his lips and nodded. "Hurry back. Keep safe. "

One truck after another drove out of the warehouse.

Not far away, Cheng Ya and the others who had been monitoring Fang Heng immediately reacted.

"Look! It's Fang Heng! He's coming out! He's on that large truck! "

Wei Chun carefully counted them one by one.

There were 17 large trucks in total!

"What's in the back of the trucks? Why does it look so heavy? "

Cheng Ya also frowned.

She also noticed that there were big boxes in the back of the trucks.

"Strange, wasn't Fang Heng supposed to transport the ingredients temporarily stored in the Dark Knights' camp to the Scavenger Army? Looking at him now, is he preparing to send the ingredients back? "

Cheng Ya was very confused.

She had a strong premonition that Fang Heng must be planning something again.

"Do you want to follow him and take a look? "

"Let it be. Inform the higher-ups immediately. "

Chapter 407: Ambush

On the main road leading to the Dark Knights' camp, the guild leader of Leftway Gaming Guild, Tian Zhen, had gathered with hundreds of elite player from various game companies.

They had been waiting for more than half an hour.

Niu Xia was a little anxious from waiting. He could not help but ask, "Why hasn't anyone come yet? is the news reliable? "

No one answered him, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Ahem.

After a long while, the vice-guild leader of Holy Paladin Gaming Guild coughed lightly. "Can you explain the situation in detail? It'll also help us mentally prepare better. "

The ambush was an emergency operation that Tian Zhen had organized at the last minute. The other participating gaming union players only knew that the ambush was aimed at Fang Heng. With just a word from Tian Zhen, they had led a team here.

The battle during the day ended in a crushing defeat. However, at that time, Leftway Gaming Guild was left alone to fend off the Scavenger Army to buy time for everyone. They had won the trust of the players.

"Yes, the information is absolutely reliable. " Though he didn't bother with Niu Xia, Tao Yuanlei gave a response as the other players had also voiced out. "It was a childhood friend of mine who leaked it to me. He's working in the Federation. "

Everyone was enlightened.

The information they received from the Federation should be correct.

"The information we received is that last time, Fang Heng helped the Federation greatly in District 5. As a reward, the Federation provided Fang Heng with a large amount of medicinal ingredients yesterday. Based on other information, we believe that Fang Heng used some special method to produce a potion called warlord potion in a short period of time using the ingredients. As per what we saw during the day, the warlord potion can increase the combat strength of the Scavenger Army in a short period of time to a frightening extent. "

Tian Zhen continued to explain calmly, "Currently, a large portion of the ingredients used to produce the warlord potion has not been sent back to the Scavenger Army. There's a high chance that Fang Heng will personally bring people over to transport the ingredients. "

Leftway Gaming Guild had suffered heavy losses. He urgently needed a victory to boost their morale.

"If we are lucky, we can directly get rid of Fang Heng. Even if we are unlucky and let him escape, we can take this opportunity to cut off the Scavenger Army's supply of medicinal ingredients and prepare for the next battle. "

"I see. "

The players present were all elites of District 7. After Tian Zhen's brief explanation, they all understood.

"Attention! Over There! ! ! "

Looking in the direction that Tao Yuanlei was pointing at, the players saw a light appear on the road in the distance.

It was the headlights of a vehicle!

"They're coming! "

A player raised his binoculars and looked into the distance. He whispered, "There are more than ten trucks in total! Confirmed to be from the Scavenger Army! "

The trucks slowly drove on the small road, heading in the direction where the guild players was lying in ambush.

"Target confirmed! Target confirmed! "

"The truck is heavily loaded. Estimated to contain a large amount of ingredients being transported... "

"Why would there be a lot of ingredients? "

"What about the number of enemies? "

"Don't panic! " Tian Zhen said in a deep voice, "Listen to my command. Demolition team, get ready! "

They watched as the trucks drove past them one by one on the main road.

Tian Zhen shouted, "Do it! ! ! "

Boom! Boom, boom!

As soon as he said that, the ground beneath his feet shook.

The bombs that were buried in the middle of the road had been detonated!

A few trucks that were in the middle of the explosion were surrounded by a ball of fire, causing a secondary explosion. The drivers in the trucks coming from behind hurriedly stepped on the brakes but could not dodge in time.

The overloaded trucks could not stop at all, so they crashed into each other, resulting in a series of collisions.

For a moment, the players' vision was blocked by the thick black fog created by the explosion in front of them.

"Charge! ! ! " Tian Zhen shouted.

Taking advantage of the enemy's disablement, Tian Zhen led the small party of players to launch a surprise attack!

As each elite player charged forward, they used their submachine guns to wildly fire at the trucks.

The battle with the Scavenger Army in the morning was still vivid in their minds.

After getting boosted by the warlord potion, the physical defense of the Scavenger Army members was terrifyingly strong. Each and every one of them was not afraid of death. If one or two shots could not kill them, it was safer to fire a few more shots!

After continuously firing, the players rushed to a distance of more than ten meters away from the truck.

"Did none of the guards return fire? " Tian Zhen vaguely felt that something was not right.

The sky was very dark at night.

Under the illumination of the fire, Tian Zhen could vaguely see a few tall black shadows in the thick black fog.

"Stop! " Tian Zhen slowed down his pace and signaled the players to stop attacking.

As the gunshots stopped, a few swaying shadows walked out from the burning flames, revealing their true appearances.

"Tyrants? ! Why would they be here? "

The Tyrant forms were still burning in flames. They advanced forward, patting the flames on their bodies as they walked toward the players.

Tian Zhen's pupils instantly enlarged several times, and cold sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.

One, two, three...

A total of five Tyrant forms walked out from the flames!

Tian Zhen had never expected that they would actually encounter Tyrant forms during that night's operation. "Is Fang Heng controlling them from behind? ! But where did they come from? "

Boom! ! !

A rocket launcher hit the Tyrant forms.

The Tyrant forms, hit head-on, were sent flying.

As they fell to the ground, fine vines immediately wrapped around their bodies. The injuries they received healed at an extremely fast speed.

"Retreat! Fire! ! ! Don't let them get close! "

The players present were all elites from the various large guilds. When they heard the command, they raised their guns and fired at the Tyrant forms.

However, the next second, Tian Zhen heard a soft sound from the side.

"This sound... Something isn't right! "

The sky was very dark. Although the flames could provide a certain range of vision, it was impossible to see clearly.

Tian Zhen felt an unprecedented sense of danger from the bottom of his heart.

The sound was getting louder and closer.

Something was rapidly approaching them! And there were quite a number of it!

There was definitely something amiss about the sound!

Tian Zhen shouted, "Flashbang! Quick! ! "

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! !

A few flashbangs were thrown into the battlefield from the side.

A dazzling blue light shone, illuminating the surroundings.

Tian Zhen endured the piercing pain in his eyes and looked around.

With the help of the light from the flashbangs, Tian Zhen was finally able to see the surroundings clearly.

Standing on the spot, he widened his eyes, feeling a deep shock.

It was Tyrants, and there were far more than five of them!

It turned out that they were all hidden in the trailers behind the trucks!

A total of nearly 20 Tyrants climbed down from the trailers behind the trucks, and they were moving toward the players in large strides.

What was even more terrifying was that there was still a vast group of scarlet Lickers!

Affected by the high-frequency sound waves from the flashbangs, the Lickers were frozen in place.

There were at least 100 of them!

"How could this be... "

Chapter 408: Rumors

The blinding light gradually dimmed, and the Lickers were still in a state of dizziness.

With the help of the light, the players could clearly see the vast number of Lickers surrounding them. For a moment, they were extremely shocked and terrified.

Wasn't this battle an ambush? Weren't they preparing to catch Fang Heng off guard?

The players wondered if they had been ambushed by Fang Heng instead.

Tao Yunlei was also stunned. He looked at the zombie team in front of him in disbelief, his mind blank.

He was a spy planted by the Federation in the various large-sized gaming unions.

According to the intelligence, Fang Heng had left Edge Creek Town with more than ten trucks full of boxes, and there was a high chance that he would head to the Dark Knights' camp.

He had never expected that the big boxes were actually filled with Tyrants.

"Quick! Retreat! " Tian Zhen shouted, taking advantage of the Lickers' still dazed state.

Now, he couldn't care less about whether Fang Heng was on the truck or not.

They had been tricked, and the enemy had definitely come prepared!

A dense barrage of bullets bombarded the Tyrant forms and Lickers.

Other than the large caliber bullets that could stop the Tyrant forms' footsteps, the remaining bullets could not cause any damage to the Tyrant forms. They were directly blocked by the vines under the Tyrant forms' skin.

Meanwhile, the Lickers had also received some of Fang Heng's attribute bonuses. Their HP was much higher than a normal zombie corpse!

Presently, survival was more important. The players were fighting while retreating. They threw flashbang after flashbang at the zombie team, trying their best to delay the zombie team.

As most of the players were elites from the various gaming unions, the situation was relatively not chaotic.

"Hint: the trucks you rented have been damaged. Your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have been reduced. A portion of your Scavenger Army contribution points will be deducted... "

"Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have slightly reduced. "

Not far away, Fang Heng walked out of the passenger seat.

With the help of the Vampire Bloodline's night vision ability, he swept his gaze across the battlefield and soon saw a familiar face among the retreating players.

It was Dragon Country Guild's Niu Xia.

Fang Heng's face darkened slightly. "How despicable to launch a sneak attack! "

He did not feel any heartache about losing his reputation points and contribution points. It was just that the ambush had caused him to lose nearly one-third of his trucks!

That way, the speed of transporting the medicinal ingredients would be forced to decrease by quite a bit.

"They'll have to pay the price! " Fang Heng was extremely displeased. With a wave of his hand, he controlled the Lickers to pounce forward.

Screech! Screech, screech!

After being stunned, the scarlet Lickers quickly surrounded the players from all directions.

The effect of the flashbangs on the Lickers was becoming more and more limited.

"We can't delay any longer! "

When Niu Xia saw that the space for retreat was becoming smaller and smaller, he couldn't help but shout, "Everyone, spread out and run as far as you can! "

After saying that, without waiting for the others to respond, Niu Xia led his party members to escape from the side.

The rest of the players cursed silently in their hearts. They were filled with disdain for Niu Xia being the first one to rush for escape.

However, they also knew clearly that what Niu Xia said was presently the best method at the moment!

They did not have any heavy weapons that could kill the Tyrant forms.

If the situation dragged on, only death would await them!

Seeing that Niu Xia had taken the lead to escape, the other player guilds also scattered and fled. They quickly disappeared into the night.

"Did he run away? " Fang Heng gritted his teeth. He felt inwardly dissatisfied.

He could not spread his control across too many groups of Lickers, so he simply split them into two groups. One group chased after Niu Xia's player team while the other looked for an opportunity to kill.

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has received fatal damage. "

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has used a skill to dodge the enemy's attack. "

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has killed a player... "

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has died... "

A series of game hints refreshed before him.

Without being able to directly see the situation, Fang Heng was unable to fully control the Lickers, so he could only give them a simple command to chase after the targets.

The Lickers that chased after the targets were quickly killed one by one.

Realizing that the death rate of the Lickers was increasing, Fang Heng understood that the players were using tactics to defeat them one by one.

Fang Heng had no choice but to recall all of them.

More than ten minutes later, the zombie team had completely regrouped.

After one battle, only about one-third of the players had been eliminated.

Looking at the Scavenger Army NPCs that were cleaning up the mess, Fang Heng muttered softly, "There seems to be a problem... "

Niu Xia had planted explosive packs in the middle of the road in advance. It was clearly a planned ambush, and he knew that Fang Heng's travel route.

"Who could it be that leaked my location? " Fang Heng mused.

Few people in the game knew that he collected ingredients from the Dark Knights.

"Cheng Ya? " Fang Heng slowly withdrew his gaze from the darkness.

Fortunately, the Scavenger Army members did not suffer much damage in the earlier wave of battle. The low-level members of the army who were injured in the explosion drank a few mouthfuls of the warlord potion and immediately more or less recovered.

After reorganizing the team, the Scavenger Army members began to move the boxes loaded on the trailer behind the truck out one by one.

The boxes were all loaded with cart components.

Soon, the construction of a cart was completed. More than 30 Tyrant forms pulled the large cart along the path to the mountainside while being escorted by the Lickers.

Fang Heng's original plan was to bring the Tyrant forms to the mountainside to carry the goods, but who would have thought that they would be attacked on the way.

They could only consider themselves unlucky.

...

Outside the Dark Knights' camp, Ai Lei silently looked at the group of Tyrant forms that were pulling the cart and wore a strange expression on his face.

"So the research on zombies in District 8 has already reached this stage, huh, Fang Heng? "

"It's not that advanced. We're still spending a lot of money on research, " Fang Heng humbly said.

"All right. "

While the elite Dark Knights loaded the ingredients back onto the cart, Ai Lei took the opportunity to pull Fang Heng aside and ask in a low voice, "Fang Heng, do you know Hu Xuanxuan? "

"Who's that? I've never heard of her. "

"That's strange. "

"What's wrong? "

"Hu Xuanxuan is a senior member of the Dark Knights. She's been asking around about you. She thinks that the recent movements of the Scavenger Army are related to you. "

Fang Heng frowned slightly. "Hu Xuanxuan's probably a player. "

"Other than Hu Xuanxuan, many people in the Dark Knights think that there is something amiss about you. Now, even the higher-ups of the Dark Knights have some doubts about you. "

"Hint: affected by special player factors. Your reputation points in the Dark Knights have decreased. "

"Hint: affected by special player factors. Your friendship with the Dark Knights has declined. "

Fang Heng's heart sank again. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was very wrong.

The blinding light gradually dimmed, and the Lickers were still in a state of dizziness.

With the help of the light, the players could clearly see the vast number of Lickers surrounding them. For a moment, they were extremely shocked and terrified.

Wasn't this battle an ambush? Weren't they preparing to catch Fang Heng off guard?

The players wondered if they had been ambushed by Fang Heng instead.

Tao Yunlei was also stunned. He looked at the zombie team in front of him in disbelief, his mind blank.

He was a spy planted by the Federation in the various large-sized gaming unions.

According to the intelligence, Fang Heng had left Edge Creek Town with more than ten trucks full of boxes, and there was a high chance that he would head to the Dark Knights' camp.

He had never expected that the big boxes were actually filled with Tyrants.

"Quick! Retreat! " Tian Zhen shouted, taking advantage of the Lickers' still dazed state.

Now, he couldn't care less about whether Fang Heng was on the truck or not.

They had been tricked, and the enemy had definitely come prepared!

A dense barrage of bullets bombarded the Tyrant forms and Lickers.

Other than the large caliber bullets that could stop the Tyrant forms' footsteps, the remaining bullets could not cause any damage to the Tyrant forms. They were directly blocked by the vines under the Tyrant forms' skin.

Meanwhile, the Lickers had also received some of Fang Heng's attribute bonuses. Their HP was much higher than a normal zombie corpse!

Presently, survival was more important. The players were fighting while retreating. They threw flashbang after flashbang at the zombie team, trying their best to delay the zombie team.

As most of the players were elites from the various gaming unions, the situation was relatively not chaotic.

"Hint: the trucks you rented have been damaged. Your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have been reduced. A portion of your Scavenger Army contribution points will be deducted... "

"Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have slightly reduced. "

Not far away, Fang Heng walked out of the passenger seat.

With the help of the Vampire Bloodline's night vision ability, he swept his gaze across the battlefield and soon saw a familiar face among the retreating players.

It was Dragon Country Guild's Niu Xia.

Fang Heng's face darkened slightly. "How despicable to launch a sneak attack! "

He did not feel any heartache about losing his reputation points and contribution points. It was just that the ambush had caused him to lose nearly one-third of his trucks!

That way, the speed of transporting the medicinal ingredients would be forced to decrease by quite a bit.

"They'll have to pay the price! " Fang Heng was extremely displeased. With a wave of his hand, he controlled the Lickers to pounce forward.

Screech! Screech, screech!

After being stunned, the scarlet Lickers quickly surrounded the players from all directions.

The effect of the flashbangs on the Lickers was becoming more and more limited.

"We can't delay any longer! "

When Niu Xia saw that the space for retreat was becoming smaller and smaller, he couldn't help but shout, "Everyone, spread out and run as far as you can! "

After saying that, without waiting for the others to respond, Niu Xia led his party members to escape from the side.

The rest of the players cursed silently in their hearts. They were filled with disdain for Niu Xia being the first one to rush for escape.

However, they also knew clearly that what Niu Xia said was presently the best method at the moment!

They did not have any heavy weapons that could kill the Tyrant forms.

If the situation dragged on, only death would await them!

Seeing that Niu Xia had taken the lead to escape, the other player guilds also scattered and fled. They quickly disappeared into the night.

"Did he run away? " Fang Heng gritted his teeth. He felt inwardly dissatisfied.

He could not spread his control across too many groups of Lickers, so he simply split them into two groups. One group chased after Niu Xia's player team while the other looked for an opportunity to kill.

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has received fatal damage. "

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has used a skill to dodge the enemy's attack. "

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has killed a player... "

"Hint: your zombie clone Licker has died... "

A series of game hints refreshed before him.

Without being able to directly see the situation, Fang Heng was unable to fully control the Lickers, so he could only give them a simple command to chase after the targets.

The Lickers that chased after the targets were quickly killed one by one.

Realizing that the death rate of the Lickers was increasing, Fang Heng understood that the players were using tactics to defeat them one by one.

Fang Heng had no choice but to recall all of them.

More than ten minutes later, the zombie team had completely regrouped.

After one battle, only about one-third of the players had been eliminated.

Looking at the Scavenger Army NPCs that were cleaning up the mess, Fang Heng muttered softly, "There seems to be a problem... "

Niu Xia had planted explosive packs in the middle of the road in advance. It was clearly a planned ambush, and he knew that Fang Heng's travel route.

"Who could it be that leaked my location? " Fang Heng mused.

Few people in the game knew that he collected ingredients from the Dark Knights.

"Cheng Ya? " Fang Heng slowly withdrew his gaze from the darkness.

Fortunately, the Scavenger Army members did not suffer much damage in the earlier wave of battle. The low-level members of the army who were injured in the explosion drank a few mouthfuls of the warlord potion and immediately more or less recovered.

After reorganizing the team, the Scavenger Army members began to move the boxes loaded on the trailer behind the truck out one by one.

The boxes were all loaded with cart components.

Soon, the construction of a cart was completed. More than 30 Tyrant forms pulled the large cart along the path to the mountainside while being escorted by the Lickers.

Fang Heng's original plan was to bring the Tyrant forms to the mountainside to carry the goods, but who would have thought that they would be attacked on the way.

They could only consider themselves unlucky.

...

Outside the Dark Knights' camp, Ai Lei silently looked at the group of Tyrant forms that were pulling the cart and wore a strange expression on his face.

"So the research on zombies in District 8 has already reached this stage, huh, Fang Heng? "

"It's not that advanced. We're still spending a lot of money on research, " Fang Heng humbly said.

"All right. "

While the elite Dark Knights loaded the ingredients back onto the cart, Ai Lei took the opportunity to pull Fang Heng aside and ask in a low voice, "Fang Heng, do you know Hu Xuanxuan? "

"Who's that? I've never heard of her. "

"That's strange. "

"What's wrong? "

"Hu Xuanxuan is a senior member of the Dark Knights. She's been asking around about you. She thinks that the recent movements of the Scavenger Army are related to you. "

"Hint: affected by special player factors. Your friendship with the Dark Knights has declined. "

Fang Heng's heart sank again. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was very wrong.

Chapter 409: Dilemma

Seeing the slight change in Fang Heng's expression, Ai Lei said in a low voice, "Fang Heng, by any chance, did you accidentally offend someone? "

Fang Heng nodded, thinking that he had offended quite a number of people.

"Yeah, that's right. "

If he only had some guesses earlier when he was ambushed, then Fang Heng confirmed them presently.

Be it at the beginning when his supply of medicinal ingredients was cut, the moment his transportation team at the foot of the mountain was attacked, or his declined friendship with the Dark Knights, there was only one suspect that came to mind.

"It's the Federation! They're also secretly intervening. "

Fang Heng originally thought that his relationship with the Federation was quite good. In addition, the Federation had always announced to the public that they welcomed all the major gaming unions to participate in friendly competition, so Fang Heng did not think that the Federation was doing something behind the scenes.

"Old Black was right about the Federation often resorting to underhanded tricks. They're really shameless. " A flurry of thoughts filled Fang Heng's mind. "Regardless, with the main storyline being so attractive, it would be a wonder if the Federation was willing to back off so easily. "

Having been tricked, Fang Heng instead felt his fighting spirit surge.

However, since the Federation had clearly made a move against him, he had to get rid of Cheng Ya and the two other spies.

"What are you thinking about, Brother? "Ai Lei patted Fang Heng's shoulder. "Don't be afraid. I'm on your side. If there's any news, I'll immediately tell you. "

"Thanks! "

Fang Heng continued to focus on the main storyline.

With the cart and Tyrant forms, it was much easier to move the medicinal ingredients.

The Tyrants repeatedly went to and fro the mountainside to move the boxes containing the medicinal ingredients back to the foot of the mountain. The medicinal ingredients from the Scavenger Army at the foot of the mountain were then transported back to the headquarters via the large trucks.

Originally, Fang Heng was optimistic that he would be able to complete the transportation of the medicinal ingredients in one night.

Unfortunately, he had lost five large trucks in the previous ambush, so the transportation efficiency was greatly reduced. He estimated that he might not be able to complete it in one night.

Fang Heng turned his head and asked, "Ai Lei, do you still have any large trucks here? How about lending me more? "

...

Late at night, the Zombie Apocalypse's District 7's headquarters was brightly lit.

They had failed!

Kou Huai looked back and forth at the situation report submitted by Tao Yunlei.

"Zombie team? Hundreds of Lickers? More than 20 Tyrants? It wasn't an ordinary zombie team but instead a team of specially enhanced zombies with combat strength surpassing that of their ordinary counterparts. The small team of players formed by the major game guilds of District 7 were more or less unable to retaliate and collapsed at the first touch. " Seeing the lines in the report, Kou Huai felt his heart sink slowly.

The sniper operation was planned by him from behind the scenes.

Not only did it not succeed, but it also caused a loss of many elite players from the major game guilds in District 7.

Kou Huai clenched his fist lightly.

The more he knew about Fang Heng's strength, the more uneasy he felt.

Based on Fang Heng's current strength, it would be difficult for the players from the game guilds of District 7 to contend with him.

Kou Huai kept tapping the table with his fingers, making rhythmic sounds.

The guard, Ah Chen, stood to the side in fear.

He knew that the finger-tapping was Kou Huai's habit.

Every time Kou Huai made an important decision, he would make such a small move.

After a while, the tapping stopped.

"Ah Chen. "

"Yes! "

"Zombie Apocalypse's District 7's player Fang Heng has violated the Federation's regulations and joined the Scavenger Army in the game... "

Kou Huai thought for a while and continued, "I hope Fang Heng can immediately withdraw from the Scavenger Army. The Federation will consider the contribution Fang Heng made in resisting the anti-federal organization when dealing out the punishment. That's the general idea. Ask someone to draft a statement and send it out. "

"Yes! "

Kou Huai took a deep breath.

After all, Fang Heng had just entered District 7, and his foothold was weak.

After years of hard work, District 7 of the Federation had already gained more than 90% of control over the Dark Knights.

After the statement had been issued, Fang Heng had two choices.

First, he could choose to withdraw from the Scavenger Army.

That way, Fang Heng's main storyline would be halted. Relying on his considerable foothold within the Dark Knights, Kou Huai was confident that he could completely isolate Fang Heng from the main storyline!

Even if Fang Heng chose not to withdraw, it was fine.

That way, District 7 of the Federation would have a legitimate reason to take action against Fang Heng.

...

Bringing the first batch of trucks filled with medicinal ingredients back to the central square of Edge Creek Town, Fang Heng noticed that the army led by Roche had returned in complete victory.

During the day, not only did Roche beat up the members of Leftway Gaming Guild, but he also took down three survivors' shelters in a row.

Presently, Roche was in the square instructing the army members to organize the materials they had looted from the outside.

Many injured Scavenger Army members lay on the square.

They relied on the warlord potion to replenish their stamina and recover from their injuries.

"Hahaha! Fang Heng, I've finally found you. Your potion is some pretty good stuff. We made a beautiful comeback today! " Roche saw Fang Heng from afar and waved at him. The day's victory made Roche very happy.

"A large number of survivors have gathered in the shelter these days, and they are equipped with automatic rifles. They think they can stop the Scavenger Army with those scrap metal. Haha! A bunch of trashes! Tomorrow morning, we will launch another surprise attack. We will completely destroy the remaining few shelters and rob them of all their materials! " Roche declared fiercely. "You can stay here and make the potions in peace. Leave the rest to me! "

As Roche spoke, he walked over with enthusiasm, saying in a low voice, "Fang Heng, I know that that guy Osborne will distribute the newly made warlord potions to a few nearby areas tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you watch out and prepare a few boxes of high-quality ones for me. "

"No problem. "

"Hint: your favorability rating with Roche has increased significantly. "

"Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have increased. "

"My reputation points in the Dark Knights have decreased, but that in the Scavenger Army have increased. The spies are really getting into action. "

Fang Heng felt tired.

He looked around the square.

Cheng Ya and the other two Federation players were still at the corner of the square, keeping watch.

The three of them noticed Fang Heng's gaze and lowered their heads at the same time.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Heng nodded and said, "Oh right, Roche, there's a small problem with the production of the potions. I want to borrow a few people from the army to help me out with something. "

"Of course. I'm giving you the go-ahead. No matter who it is, you can directly arrange for them to help you. "

Roche didn't care at all.

As long as he could get not a few but rather a large number of high-quality warlord potions, he was willing to let Fang Heng mobilize even dozens of the members!

"Thank you so much. " Fang Heng smiled.

"Now, how should I toy with Cheng Ya and the other two Federation's b*stards to death? By having them sort the medicinal ingredients for potion making for a day? No, they might leak the formula of the potions. Have them move logs in the forest for an entire day? Or maybe have them gather military intelligence on the Federation? Alternatively, should I have them charge into and attack the ordinary players' shelters? " Just as Fang Heng was struggling with how to vent his anger, game hints quickly refreshed on his retinas.

"Hint: you have received an urgent message from the game cabin. Message content: something big has happened. God, when you have the chance, hurry and come offline to discuss about it. "

Seeing the game hint, Fang Heng frowned. He returned to the potion making warehouse and went offline.

Chapter 410: Countermeasure

"You want me to turn myself in? Voluntarily withdraw from the Scavenger Army? Otherwise, I might be added to the list of dangerous people in the Federation and even face the risk of being wanted by the Federation? "

Listening to Mo Jiawei's explanation, Fang Heng was amused. He thought, "They failed to secretly do me in, so now they're trying to publicly do it? "

"God, don't laugh. We need to quickly think of a way. The Federation of District 7 is very powerful in the game. It's not wise to fight them head-on. Moreover, once District 7 really issues an arrest warrant for you, the Federation's inspection team in the real world might come and forcefully take you away... "

Mo Jiawei was very anxious. He tried to come up with an idea. "Why don't you agree to withdraw from the Scavenger Army on the surface but do as you wish in reality? In other words, instead of fighting them head-on, you can defy them behind the scenes. "

"This involves the main storyline of District 7. There's no doubt that the Federation will compete with us. If we retreat at this step, then we'll have to retreat countless steps. Unless I withdraw from the competition for the main storyline of Server 7, the Federation will not let me off. "

Fang Heng seriously thought about it, then continued, "We can indeed try to avoid defying them so obviously. It's just that the trick of obeying on the surface will be too easily seen through. "

"Then what should we do? "

"We'll just stall for a few days and see what his next move is. However, we have to be careful about Server 8's prison. "

Fang Heng felt that he didn't have the time to take care of Server 8. He thought for a while and continued, "In name, Server 8 will be transferred to North River Heavy Industry so that the Federation can't find an excuse to cause trouble for District 8. "

Mo Jiawei nodded and uttered, "All right, I'll get someone to release the news and announce that North River Heavy Industry will temporarily withdraw from cooperating with you. In addition, I'll have to contact Fourth Uncle and have him hurry back so that the Federation's inspection team won't come knocking on our door. "

"All right. Anyway, the Federation is nothing much. " Fang Heng rubbed his wrist, looking like a militant. "Despite the Federation's reputation, they've previously been beaten to such a terrible state by Night Owl. Their strength isn't that great at all. I'll show them who's more powerful. Besides, the thing that the Federation's spending so much effort to obtain must be very valuable... "

Fang Heng's current understanding of the game's main storyline was still very vague.

He knew that the final reward was the ownership of the game world, but he didn't know exactly what the final ownership entailed.

However, since the Federation could be so shameless for the ownership, it should be a very important and very powerful thing.

"All right! "

For a moment, Mo Jiawei also felt his blood boil. He thought, "So what if it's the Federation? Aren't they all just players, too? "

Given that he and Fang Heng had come so far as a team, Mo Jiawei had full confidence in Fang Heng. He thus became determined to compete with the Federation.

"Leave District 8 to me. Our North River Heavy Industry is a big business. The Federation will have to think twice before finding trouble with us. Also, God, the Federation's inspection team might come looking for you. It's safer to stay here for the next two days... "

As the two of them were discussing, Fang Heng's cell phone rang.

"Chen Yu? "

"Fang Heng, are you okay? "

Chen Yu had just seen the notice issued by District 7 not long ago. He immediately scolded his teammates for their idiotic behavior, then called Fang Heng.

Having interacted with Fang Heng for so long, he knew Fang Heng's personality very well.

With such a threatening announcement, it would be a miracle if Fang Heng bowed his head and obediently withdrew from the Scavenger Army!

Even if he withdrew under pressure on the surface, he would definitely play all kinds of underhanded tricks behind the scenes.

Whether publicly or privately, Chen Yu was very unwilling to see Fang Heng as an enemy.

Fang Heng shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "Fortunately, it's not a big problem. It's still under control. "

"Uh... That... " Chen Yu scratched his head, "I wanted to say that the announcement issued by the Federation was issued in the name of District 7. "

"I understand. It has nothing to do with you. Organizational will doesn't represent individual will. "

"I just asked a few friends to pay attention to this matter. District 7 is not joking this time. They have already submitted a ban on you to their superiors and are preparing to join forces with the player unions of District 7 to attack the Scavenger Army in the game. A friend also told me that the Federation of District 7 has already started to transport large-sized weapons especially for countering Tyrants to the area of Edge Creek Town. "

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Originally, with the Tyrants and warlord potions, dealing with the guild players of District 7 was a piece of cake.

Now that the Federation had joined in, it became a little troublesome.

Hearing Fang Heng's silence, Chen Yu hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before continuing, "Fang Heng, Why don't you return to District 8? As long as I'm in District 8, I guarantee that you'll be unscathed in District 8. "

"Come on, isn't it just the Federation of District 7? Things haven't developed to that serious of a state yet. " Fang Heng answered unhappily, "Besides, how daring of you to make such a declaration when you might be fired tomorrow. When the time comes, come to my prison. As long as I, Fang Heng, am in the prison, I guarantee that you'll be fine... "

Chen Yu was speechless for a moment.

But he also felt relieved.

He felt that since Fang Heng could still joke at such a time, he was likely doing okay. "Make sense. He's always been unfazed, " he thought.

"All right, thanks for the information. I still have something to do. Let's talk again next time. "

After hanging up the phone, Fang Heng looked at Mo Jiawei who was at the side.

Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng with eager eyes.

"How's the situation? "

"Not good. The Federation of District 7 is already preparing to cooperate with the major player guilds of District 7 to deal with the Scavenger Army. "

"The Federation's ultimate goal is probably to halt my main storyline. "

Mo Jiawei revealed a distressed expression. "Then what should we do? Do you have a plan? "

"Hmm... " Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

The enemy's strength had increased again.

In order to balance things out, he had to think of a way to enhance his own combat strength.

As for the zombie clones, the research institute didn't have the time to upgrade them. Presently, the institute was fully focusing on researching the first-generation meteorite.

As for the warlord potion, he could possibly try finding a way to improve the potion's effects and in turn, increase the overall strength of the Scavenger Army!

Fang Heng's eyes lit up at that thought.

The commander of the Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, who had researched and produced the warlord potion, was also a senior researcher at Meteorite Company. It was very difficult to improve the potion's effects through scientific research, not to mention in a short period of time.

Therefore, Fang Heng had to consider methods that were relatively unscientific.

"Occult! Potionology! " Realization hit him.

Fang Heng figured that Mo Yunxiao should know some potionology.

However, Mo Yunxiao was currently not in the villa.

"Oh right, wasn't there still her? " Fang Heng mused as he thought of Xiao Ruoruo, whom he had seen in the study during the day.

"I can for the help of the top student who's roughly read all the books in the study! "

With that thought in mind, Fang Heng immediately got up and ran to Xiao Ruoruo's guest room to ask her for help in improving the potion.

Meanwhile, Mo Jiawei was still thinking hard. When he saw Fang Heng rush outside, he immediately chased after him. "Fang Heng, where are you going? "

"To find someone. "

"Hmm? Going outside in the middle of the night? Isn't that a little dangerous? You might be on the wanted list now and pursued by the Inspection Bureau. Be careful... "

"Eh? Is she not in the room? "

"Who are you looking for? "

"Xiao Ruoruo, the top student. "

Butler Sun had been woken up by the noise in the corridor and had come out to check the situation in his pajamas. Looking at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei suspiciously, he wondered, "What're the two of them doing in front of a girl's guest room in the middle of the night? "

"Mr. Jiawei, Mr. Fang Heng, it's already so late. What's so important that you're both here? " uttered Butler Sun.

Mo Jiawei took two steps back to show his innocence.

Ahem.

Fang Heng's face turned red.

The day and night were reversed in the game, so he had forgotten that it was already late at night.

It didn't seem appropriate for two of them to block the entrance of a girl's room at such an hour.

"I'm here to look for Xiao Ruoruo. I want to discuss some issues related to Occult with her. Please excuse me. As researcher academics, we got excited halfway through research and came here without a second thought... " Fang Heng explained awkwardly, "We just... forgot to take the hour into consideration... "

Butler Sun had a suspicious look on his face, showing that he didn't quite believe Fang Heng's words. He mused, "You? A research academic? How could you possibly focus on studying when you keep entering and exiting the study every few hours? "

Mo Jiawei quickly skipped over the matter and went forward to ask, "Butler Sun, where's Ruoruo? "

"Is she not in her room? " Butler Sun was also a little puzzled. He walked forward, looked at the dark room, then answered as realization hit him, "Oh right, she asked me after dinner where the warehouse where the ores are stored is. She might still be in the warehouse now. I'll bring you two there to take a look. "

Butler Sun was also a little worried about Xiao Ruoruo's safety, so he followed Fang Heng and Xiao Ruoruo to the warehouse.

In the backyard, the warehouse door was closed tightly.

Creak!

Pushing open the warehouse door, the three of them stood at the door at the same time.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He turned his head to look at Mo Jiawei and cast a questioning gaze at him.

Not noticing Fang Heng's gaze at all, Mo Jiawei had a shock-filled face.

In the center of the warehouse was Xiao Ruoruo, her toes less than 10 centimeters above the ground. She was suspended in the air.

A large amount of blue crystal raw ores was revolving around Xiao Ruoruo's body rapidly.

Being able to use active skills outside the game was the most obvious characteristic of Tier 3 materialization!

Mo Jiawei was shocked. He turned his head and asked Fang Heng in a low voice, "What's going on? "

Fang Heng was speechless. "You're asking me? "

Mo Jiawei opened his mouth without saying a word.

He had a deep impression of Xiao Ruoruo, the girl who was very afraid of strangers.

Since she was young, she often stayed in Mo Yunxiao's study.

Every time Mo Jiawei saw Xiao Ruoruo, she would lower her head and walk past him quickly.

After she grew up, the situation slightly improved.

It was the first time Mo Jiawei realized that Xiao Ruoruo was actually so capable.

Thud.

Xiao Ruoruo landed on the ground and opened her eyes, noticing the comers.

"You guys... Why are you here? "

...

"Eh? You want to improve the potion? "

In the living room, Xiao Ruoruo looked confused after listening to Fang Heng's explanation of his wish to improve the potion.

"Fang Heng, improving the potion is a very difficult thing because the transformation method of potionology is not quite consistent... To improve the medicinal effect, alchemists would carry out a special purification of the medicinal ingredients... But from the perspective of potionology, most would... "

Listening to the top student explain the potionology's area of focus, Fang Heng suddenly felt drowsy.

At least Fang Heng still had some foundation in potionology. Mo Jiawei was confused, and his eyelids were twitching.

In less than two minutes, Mo Jiawei directly fell asleep on the couch beside him.

"Hint: you have had a discussion with Xiao Ruoruo about potionology, alchemy, and Occult. As a result, you've gained some knowledge. You have gained 33 basic potionology skill experience points and 55 basic occult skill experience points. "

"What's going on? ! Both my basic potionology skill experience points and basic occult skill experience points have increased? ! "

The sudden game hint had woken Fang Heng up.

It was rare to see a game hint outside of the game.

For a moment, Fang Heng's couldn't take his eyes off Xiao Ruoruo.

It was all too weird!

He had communicated with Mo Yunxiao about Occult before. Why hadn't there been such a hint before? Why hadn't he received any skill experience points before?

"Fang Heng? Is there something on my face? "

Xiao Ruoruo noticed Fang Heng's gaze, and her face flushed slightly. She couldn't help but lower her head.

Fang Heng was shocked and asked, "It's a game hint! Didn't you receive it? "

"Ah? " Xiao Ruoruo was surprised for a moment, and then her expression dimmed. Without raising her head, she muttered softly, "I'm sorry, Fang Heng, I haven't been honest with you. Actually, I'm demi-human. "

"So that's how it is... She's demi-human, " mused Fang Heng. His heart was pounding.

Demi-humans were one of the minorities in the game. They were the product of a human and an NPC.

Demi-humans had the dual attribute of NPCs and players. They were born in the game, but they had the ability to leave the game and enter the real world.

Demi-humans could avoid many risks of the game. They could directly bring all their abilities in the game out of the game, and they would not be subjected to the majority of the game's punishments!

But similarly, they did not have part of the special abilities that players had. The most common examples were demi-humans who did not have a game backpack, could not accept missions, could not view personal information, and could not receive game hints.

The Federation had strict control over the demi-humans.

Under the Federation's deliberate exaggeration, the demi-humans were regarded as monsters that were extremely dangerous existences in the game.

In a more advanced world, there was a group of anti-federation forces made up of demi-humans. They had once brought great trouble to the Federation!

"T-There's no need to be sorry. I'm just a little surprised, " responded Fang Heng.

Xiao Ruoruo timidly raised her head and looked at Fang Heng. "Then... Fang Heng, aren't you afraid of me? "

"Hmm? Afraid? Are you very scary? "

Xiao Ruoruo became even more uneasy. "N-No... "

"Then, all's good. What's there to be afraid of? " Fang Heng was simple-minded. He walked over, casually picked up a book on the table, and quickly put it into his game backpack.

"Look, you now know my secret, while I know yours. With this, we can be considered good friends, right? "

"Yes! " Xiao Ruoruo felt relieved. A smile reappeared on her face as she nodded in response.

"Right, I heard that demi-humans can't use the game cabin. How do you enter and exit the game? "

"That... " Xiao Ruoruo hesitated.

"Is it a secret? Then it's okay. Forget that I asked. "

"It's not a secret, but Fang Heng, don't tell anyone. " Xiao Ruoruo reached out her hand and turned the back of her hand toward Fang Heng.

"We demi-humans enter and exit the game through this mark. "

As Xiao Ruoruo spoke, a faint red mark appeared on the back of her fair hand.

Chapter 412: Mark Teleportation

Fang Heng's pupils constricted when he saw the mark on the back of Xiao Ruoruo's hand. He thought, "It's a mark similar to mine! "

"Don't move yet, " Fang Heng said as he aligned the back of his hand with Xiao Ruoruo's.

The mark on the back of his hand emitted a weak white light.

"Eh? " Xiao Ruoruo covered her mouth in surprise and carefully looked at Mo Jiawei, who was lying asleep on the couch.

She lowered her voice and said, "Fang Heng, why do you have a mark too? Could it be that you are also... " Xiao Ruoruo looked at Fang Heng with a burning gaze.

From the moment she first saw Fang Heng, Xiao Ruoruo had felt a strange sense of closeness to him.

It would explain the feeling if Fang Heng was also a demi-human.

"No, I don't think so. " Fang Heng searched the memory of the body he was in and confirmed that he was not a demi-human.

"But... " Xiao Ruoruo hesitated.

She carefully leaned over and carefully compared the marks on their hands.

Though they were not the same, a large part of the patterns was extremely similar!

"But this part of the mark is very similar to us demi-humans'. " Xiao Ruoruo raised her head, her eyes filled with doubt. "Fang Heng, how did the mark on your hand form? "

"I forgot, I really forgot. I can't remember the origin of this mark at all. "

Fang Heng also had a headache. He smiled bitterly and explained, "I've been learning Occult to solve this mystery. "

"Yes, I believe in you, Fang Heng. "

Fang Heng scratched his hair in distress.

It was getting more and more confusing.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Heng decided not to think about the marks for the time being. "Right, what were we talking about just now? "

"Oh, we were talking about the special way demi-humans enter the game. We usually enter the game world with the strength of the mark. "

As Xiao Ruoruo spoke, she raised her arm and extended her palm forward.

In an instant, a magic array appeared under Xiao Ruoruo's feet.

"The teleportation process needs to last for 30 seconds. During this period, any disturbance will result in failure of teleportation into the game, " Xiao Ruoruo explained and lowered her arm.

The magic array that was rotating slowly under her feet also disappeared.

"Through mark teleportation... " Fang Heng muttered to himself.

"Wait. Right! When I activated the Tier 1 of the occult ritual, the game hint stated that I can enter and exit the game directly through the mark! Theoretically, I have the same ability. But how do I use it? "

As Fang Heng had those thoughts, a line of small words immediately appeared on his retina.

Skill: occult ritual (binding soul seal).

Tier: Tier 1.

Skill description 1: after mastering this skill, you can synchronize your basic attribute ability and enter into the game world. Current synchronization rate: 100% .

Skill description 2: you can directly enter the game through the ritual seal.

Special ability 1 awakened through the soul seal: Outside the game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special Ability 2 awakened through the soul seal (Vampire Apocalypse) : you will not be affected by the distortion of the game world of Vampire Apocalypse. In Vampire Apocalypse, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special Ability 3 awakened through the soul seal (Zombie Apocalypse) : you will not be affected by the distortion of the game world of Zombie Apocalypse. In Zombie Apocalypse, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

"Fang Heng, you have the seal, so you should be able to teleport into the game world, right? Try it. You just need to focus and imagine a door in front of you. Try to open that door. " Xiao Ruoruo looked at Fang Heng and encouraged him, "Good luck. "

Hearing that, Fang Heng tried to imitate Xiao Ruoruo. He slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.

"Imagine a door... " he mused.

An ancient bronze door appeared in front of Fang Heng.

The bronze door was engraved with strange patterns, which resembled a palm.

"A zombie's palm? " Fang Heng was confused. He tried to follow Xiao Ruoruo's instructions and open the door with his mind.

Swoosh.

A black formation instantly appeared under Fang Heng's feet.

As the formation appeared, Xiao Ruoruo's pupils suddenly constricted!

A powerful force emerged from the magic array, and she couldn't help but take half a step back.

Screech, screech, screech!

Countless greenish-brown palms of rotting corpses shot out from the magic array, crazily moving upward and almost instantly wrapping Fang Heng!

In Xiao Ruoruo's view, Fang Heng was currently wrapped up by countless twisted rotten arms, forming a human cocoon.

Bang!

In the next second, the cocoon shattered in front of her eyes, disappearing together with Fang Heng.

Xiao Ruoruo stood on the spot, recalling the scene she had just seen, her face filled with shock and confusion.

It was a total of 0.5 seconds.

Fang Heng had used the seal to enter the game world in just 0.5 seconds!

That was too abnormal!

...

Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng found himself in the King of Gods' space.

"Hint: player has entered the game through the occult ritual for the first time. "

"Hint: occult mark has an upper limit of 10 King of Gods' space energy points. 1 energy point will be replenished every five hours. 1 King of Gods' space energy points is consumed every time you enter the game. "

"Hint: player can now choose to return to the game world, other mode, or the exchange store. "

"Have I entered the game world? " Fang Heng looked down at himself and tried to clench his fists.

Compared to the normal way of entering the game through the game cabin, there seemed to be no difference.

While Fang Heng had that thought, a line of small words appeared before his eyes.

"Hint: player, do you wish to quit the game? "

"Quit! "

He returned to the real world once again.

Appearing on the spot, Fang Heng tried to move his body.

It was pretty good. It was much more convenient than using the game cabin to log in and out of the game, especially in special situations where players outside the game cabin could not establish contact through the special hint function of the game cabin.

Fang Heng suddenly realized that such a kind of teleportation was also a pretty good life-saving skill.

If there was a sudden danger in the real world in the future, he could just hide in the game and tide over it!

Meanwhile, still in a daze, Xiao Ruoruo stared blankly at Fang Heng.

"What are you thinking about? "Fang Heng waved his hand in front of Xiao Ruoruo's eyes.

"N-Nothing... " Xiao Ruoruo came back to her senses. "Entering the game through a mark seems to be a special ability that only demi-humans have... "

"Don't bother thinking about it anymore. Maybe my ancestors were part of the demi-human bloodline. "

Fang Heng shrugged, not pursuing the matter further. "Let's return to the matter of improving the potion. "

"Mhm, okay... " Xiao Ruoruo nodded and got up to take a stack of white paper from the table beside her.

"I'm not sure if I can help. We can study the improvement of the potion together. "

As Xiao Ruoruo spoke, she took out a piece of paper and spread it on the table.

Chapter 413: Perfecting the Formula

"Then let's start with the composition of medicinal ingredients. In potionology, the decomposition analysis of medicinal ingredients is done in a special way. Do you remember the formula for the warlord potion? "

"Yeah, I remember. I'll write it. "

Fang Heng listed the names of dozens of medicinal ingredients.

"Hint: your Intellligence points have reached over 15 points. You are able to use potionology for the decomposition analysis of potions... "

...

"Hint: Xiao Ruoruo has imparted teachings of potionology to you. Your skill of basic potionology has gained 347 experience points and increased to level 4. "

Two and a half hours later, Xiao Ruoruo finished all the decomposition analysis and recomposition.

"Mhm, it's done. "

Xiao Ruoruo wiped the sweat on the tip of her nose.

"Fang Heng, take a look. "

Fang Heng leaned over and took out the list.

"Hint: you and Xiao Ruoruo have completed the modification-cum-recomposition of the warlord potion. You have come up with the new potion formula (incomplete) . You can name the formula. "

"Modified warlord potion. "

"Hint: you have completed the preliminary structure of the modified warlord potion. You have gained 788 experience points in potionology. "

"Hint: your potionology level has upgraded to level 5. "

"Awesome! Xiao Ruoruo, you've been a great help! " Fang Heng was in a great mood after completing the modified potion.

Xiao Ruoruo's face flushed red. "No, not really... I still need to make some minor adjustments to the composition of the ingredients. The specific formula is not considered complete yet. "

"It's already very impressive! I'll just go back to the game to test and perfect the formula. You've been a great help to me. I'm in a hurry today. I'll bring you some delicious food next time. "

"Okay. Keep your word, Fang Heng. "

Fang Heng hurriedly got up, bade farewell, and quickly left the living room.

Phew.

Seeing Fang Heng leave the room in a hurry, Xiao Ruoruo wiped the sweat on her forehead.

Doing decomposition analysis and recomposition on a medicinal formula had consumed a lot of her energy. However, Xiao Ruoruo still felt very happy that she could help her good friend whom she had just met.

Thud, thud.

Mr. Sun knocked on the door and walked into the room. He glanced at Mo Jiawei who was still sleeping soundly on the couch.

"Ruoruo, you must be very tired. Your body is not suitable for staying up so late. There's no need to tire yourself so badly. "

Xiao Ruoruo smiled. "It's all right, Mr. Sun. Fang Heng is my good friend. I'm very happy to be able to help him. "

Mr. Sun sighed in his heart.

He wanted to say something but stopped.

"All right. It's late. Go and rest. "

...

"Hint: player has failed to produce a potion sample. Some of the ingredients have been damaged and can not be used anymore. "

"Hint: player has failed to complete the formula! "

"Sh*t! I failed again! "

In the warehouse in-game, Fang Heng cursed in a rather displeased manner.

Making a potion sample was much more difficult than he had imagined.

The final step of perfecting the formula required a more precise allocation of the ingredients. Ordinary players would need to spend a month or two to master the formula.

Fang Heng was clueless about potion theory and did not know how to calculate the proportions, so he tried a few times based on feeling.

Unsurprisingly, it ended in failure.

Fang Heng scratched his head.

"Whatever! I might as well use the stupidest method of trial and error. There're enough zombie teams and medicinal ingredients to test out one by one. "

Fang Heng was a little irritated. He turned around and glanced at the dozen or so potioneers in the room.

Noticing Fang Heng's gaze, the potioneers who were on standby felt a chill in their hearts.

As fellow potioneers, they knew that consecutive failure in potion making put potioneers in a bad mood.

With an unfriendly tone, Fang Heng commanded, "Hey, you guys, prepare the ingredients needed to make the potion. As per this formula, make hundreds of different dosage combinations... "

The potioneers took the potion formula from Fang Heng and looked at it. They were stunned at first, then they started to discuss it together.

"So, Fang Heng has been trying to develop a new formula for the warlord potion all this while. How amazing! It's only been a night, yet he's already managed to modify the ingredient composition like that.

The potioneers gathered together and looked at the formula given by Fang Heng, all amazed.

In the formula, some of the changes could be considered as a stroke of genius!

"A new formula? "

"Amazing, it can be modified like this. I didn't expect there to be such a method. "

"But can these two ingredients still be combined? "

"Indeed, they can. Look at this... "

The potioneers discussed in low voices. From time to time, they would sneak a glance at Fang Heng.

"Hint: your ability of potion making has gained the recognition and respect of the potioneers. "

"Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have increased significantly. "

"Hint: potioneers' loyalty to the Scavenger Army has increased slightly. "

"Hint: Potioneer Harley is in awe of you... "

Fang Heng looked at the game hints that flashed and the potioneers that were in constant discussion, and his mind immediately buzzed.

"Good heavens, I'm treating you guys as tools to sort medicinal ingredients. What are you all discussing? It's not like I can bring you back to District 8 to make potions. I don't care about your recognition and respect, " thought Fang Heng.

Cough, cough!

Fang Heng coughed heavily, interrupting the conversation of the potioneers.

"Hey, you guys, hurry up and start concocting the potions! "

The potioneers respected and feared Fang Heng at the same time. Hearing his order, they immediately stopped their discussion and began to make potions.

Fang Heng controlled zombie clones to start making potions through trial and error.

Channeling bar after channeling bar appeared above the zombie clones' heads, and game hint after game hint appeared in Fang Heng's vision.

"Hint: your zombie clone failed to make the potion... "

"Hint: your zombie clone failed to make the potion... "

...

"Hint: your zombie clone has completed the production of modified warlord potion sample. Current potion quality: C. "

"Hint: you have perfected the potion formula of modified warlord potion. "

"Hint: during the process of perfecting the potion formula, you have gained a new understanding of potionology. Your skill of basic potion making has upgraded. You have gained the new skill of intermediate potion making. "

"Finally... It's done! After 157 consecutive failures, there's finally a zombie clone that's completed the sample making and perfected the potion formula! Trial and error is indeed the best! I've even gained the new skill of intermediate potion making! " Fang Heng let out a sigh in his heart. He took out the bottle of freshly made potion and held it in his hand to observe.

Item: modified warlord potion.

Quality: C.

Description: after being concocted with a special method, the warlord potion's stimulation effects has increased. After a user consumes it, in a short period of time, their various attributes, as well as effects such as HP recovery, vitality recovery, rapid energy recovery, and regeneration of severed limbs, will greatly increase (only effective for players or NPCs who have taken the divine potion).

Creator: Fang Heng.

"Success! Let's look at the skill... " Fang Heng's eyes sparkled with excitement. He opened and observed the skill panel.

Skill: intermediate potion making.

Description: Intellligence 1. You can make potions according to the formula. The success rate of potion making will be increased. There is a chance to make a potion with a higher effect. The probability is related to the skill level.

Description: this skill can be upgraded to level 30 and can not exceed the player's current level. (after the skill is maxed out, you can try to upgrade the skill) .

Chapter 414: Improved Effects

Compared to basic potion making, the upper limit of intermediate potion making was level 30. There was also an additional 1 intelligence point bonus and the possibility of making potions with high-level effects.

"Not bad! " Fang Heng was satisfied.

He put away the potion and looked around the warehouse.

Next, he could set up the production line!

There were still three hours until daybreak, and he would produce a mass amount of potions.

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the potioneers in the corner who had gathered together and were clicking their tongues in admiration.

"Everyone, please help. "

The dozen or so potioneers immediately stopped their conversation.

Seeing Fang Heng's burning gaze, they immediately recalled the previous experience of staying up all night to sort medicinal ingredients, their legs turning weak.

Fang Heng smiled. "I'll have to trouble all of you to sort the medicinal ingredients. "

First was the distribution of the ingredients. Fang Heng would have the zombie team help him move boxes of the ingredients to the potioneers.

Then, the potioneers would sort the ingredients into sets.

After that, the zombie team would move the sorted ingredients and pack them according to the potion grade.

It was the perfect arrangement he thought of.

"Hint: your zombie clone has completed the production of the modified warlord potion. Current quality: D. "

"Hint: you have gained 4 intermediate potion making skill experience points. "

"Hint: your zombie clone has completed... "

Game hints kept refreshing.

Looking at the preliminarily completed production line, Fang Heng felt a sense of satisfaction.

"No, wait! There's still room for improvement in the production line. I can make some minor adjustments to speed up the efficiency. " Fang Heng rubbed his chin and started to carefully study the production line.

Some of the ingredients wouldn't be damaged after failure, so he couldn't waste them. He had to open a new production line where the zombies would send suck ingredients back to be re-sorted.

"How should I go about doing it? Hmm... I know! I just have to change this part! Also, the zombies' movements affect one other, so I'll have to rearrange the layout of the production line. No, no, this doesn't work. I'll have to rearrange it, " thought Fang Heng.

As the production line was set up again and again, the refresh rate of the game log was constantly increasing.

Fang Heng drank bottles of coffee, enjoying himself.

...

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

The warehouse door was pulled open with a swoosh.

Two Scavenger Army elites stood at the entrance of the warehouse, carefully sizing up the interior of the warehouse.

Without Fang Heng's permission, they would not dare to enter the warehouse.

The night before, there was a rumor that spread throughout the entire Edge Creek Town.

It was said that the warehouse was densely packed with Lickers controlled by Fang Heng and that a person who had barged into the warehouse without thinking was eaten by the Lickers until nothing was left of them.

Later on, Roche came out to refute the rumor.

If anyone entered the warehouse and disturbed Fang Heng, even if they weren't eaten by the Lickers, they would probably have their legs broken and then thrown out to feed the zombies.

The two stood at the door and shouted toward the dim warehouse, "Commander Fang, are you there? Roche and Osborne have been waiting for you for more than half an hour. "

"Eh? What? It's already dawn? " Inside the warehouse, Fang Heng, who was counting the medicinal ingredients, came back to his senses when he heard the shout outside the door. He subconsciously gulped down a mouthful of coffee.

"It's a pity that there are still many medicinal ingredients left to be sorted... " Fang Heng muttered to himself. He then shouted, "Come in and help me drive the trucks out. "

"Yes! " The two Scavenger Army elites carefully walked into the warehouse.

After staying up all night, the potioneers' and NPCs' eyes were bloodshot, and they all looked relieved.

Finally, they could rest!

Fang Heng walked out of the warehouse.

Outside the door, Roche and Osborne were waiting for him.

Osborne walked forward and asked, "Fang Heng, how's the potion making? Several regions are pressing for it. They are under a lot of pressure and urgently need supplies of it. "

"Everything is under control. " Fang Heng nodded and gestured behind him.

Soon, a few trucks filled with big boxes drove out of the warehouse.

"The potions have already been loaded onto the back of the trucks. "

"Okay! " Osborne's eyes lit up. He jumped up and boarded one of the large trucks, then took out one of the bottles of potion to check.

As soon as the potion was in his hand, Osborne frowned slightly. "Hmm? "

He thought, "Why's the color of the potion a little different? It has a slight yellow color. "

"It's a normal phenomenon. " Facing Osborne's gaze, Fang Heng casually waved his hand and explained, "The effectiveness of the first-generation warlord potion is not the highest. I made some minor adjustments. This is an improved version with better effects. "

"Improved? ! " Inwardly, Osborne was even more surprised. "Fang Heng found a way to improve the warlord potion that was personally developed by the founder of the Scavenger Army, Cook Barn? "

"Haha! Fang Heng! You are really good! " Osborne exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Roche did not have as many thoughts as Osborne. He was even a little dissatisfied with Osborne's dawdling. He urged, "Osborne, quickly give me a bottle to taste! "

Osborne secretly cursed Roche for being an idiot. He directly threw the potion in his hand at Roche.

Gulp, gulp.

Roche took the potion, unscrewed the lid without hesitation, and directly raised his head to pour all of the potion down his throat.

Roche was stunned as the potion greatly stung his tongue. As he felt a warm current flowing down his throat, his entire body went through a transformation.

Creak, creak...

Roche clenched his fist so hard that it made a creaking sound. The blood vessels in his pupils became apparent, making his eyes appear bloodshot, and blue veins appeared faintly under his skin.

Crash!

Roche crushed the bottle in his hand.

"Hahaha! The effects are awesome! "

Roche turned around and looked at Fang Heng with a fervent gaze. "Fang Heng! I want this kind of potion! The more the better! "

"Is it really that powerful? " thought Osborne, puzzled. He then also gulped down the warlord potion.

The potion was like a ball of fire that instantly flowed through his entire body!

Osborne clenched his fists and felt a surge of strength flowing into his limbs. There seemed to be an endless amount of strength in his body. An impulse to destroy everything rose from the bottom of his heart.

He was not sure about its effects in actual battle, but from the bottom of his heart, Osborne felt that the warlord potion had improved by at least 50% compared to before!

At the same time, the bloodthirsty impulse had also increased significantly compared to before!

Taking a deep breath, Osborne forcefully suppressed the bloodthirsty impulse in his heart and used his bloodshot eyes to look at Fang Heng.

His eyes were filled with astonishment as he mused, "How did he do it? First, he produced a large number of warlord potions, and now, a day later, he improved the potion's effects... This young man would completely change our army! "

Fang Heng asked, "How is it? "

"Very good. " Osborne confirmed with Fang Heng, "Are you sure that the potion doesn't have any negative effects? "

"At least, we didn't find any during the testing. "

"F*ck, you're so troublesome. Who cares about the negative effects? It's best if you don't want potions. We'll use them! "

As Roche spoke, he secretly winked at Fang Heng and waved his hand. "Brothers, this truck's potions are ours! "

Chapter 415: Ready for Battle

"Roar!"

Hearing this, the members of the Scavenger Army behind Roche started to cheer. They rushed to the back of the truck and started to carry the potions.

Osborne revealed a rare bitter smile.

"Roche, I didn't say no. Recently, the survivors have started to unite and resist us. The Scavenger Army is under more and more pressure. The other war zones have encountered quite a bit of trouble. If the other war zones can't hold on, Edge Creek Town will also be at a disadvantage."

"F*ck, don't give me this nonsense." Roche spat on the ground and waved his hand. "Brothers, two truckloads of the best quality goods are enough. Leave some for the others."

[Hint: Your favorability rating with Roche has greatly increased.]

[Hint: Your favorability rating with Osborne has slightly increased.]

[Hint: You have submitted the warlord potion (changed)* 3250 to Osborne.]

[Hint: The total amount of the warlord potion is 6,557,500 Scavenger Army points. Your level in the Scavenger Army has been increased to Level 18 (Tier 1 regional chief commander).]

[Hint: Your reputation in the Scavenger Army has been greatly increased.]

After distributing a truckload of warlord potions, the bloodlust in Roche's eyes had not subsided. He raised his head and gulped down another bottle of warlord potion.

"Listen up! We'll move out in thirty minutes! Target! Edge Creek Town shelter!"

Watching the Scavenger Army that was affected by the bloodthirsty urge of warlord potion leave, Fang Heng rubbed his shoulders and opened the game hint to review it again.

Level 18, Tier 1 warzone chief commander.

In theory, his rank was already higher than Roche's.

By the way, was he about to reach the top level?

"There's no level-up list on the forum. How troublesome!"

Fang Heng pursed his lips and walked back to the warehouse, preparing to continue with the potions.

...

In the distance, outside of Edge Creek Town.

Cheng Ya and the other two were rushing back with the logs on their shoulders.

Hearing the roars coming from Edge Creek Town, they looked at one another.

Wei Chun frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

Last night, they received an emergency order from Roche, which required them to go out and collect a large number of logs in a short period.

They thought it was a special mission, so they moved the logs overnight.

"I'm not sure. It might be related to the logs we collected." Cheng Ya lowered her head and thought, "You go offline and report to your superiors first. We'll wait and see..."

...

At the Dragon Country Gaming Union base.

Having suffered two consecutive defeats, the morale of the alliance forces of the major player companies in District 7 had almost fallen to the bottom.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was unusually solemn.

Tian Zhen was silent.

They had been extremely shocked by the large number of Tyrant forms and Lickers they had encountered last night.

How long had Fang Heng been in District 7?

He had thought that Fang Heng would be weak for a while after entering Division 7.

However, he didn't expect that the zombie team controlled by Fang Heng would become even stronger!

Tian Zhen thought hard for an entire night, but couldn't think of a way to deal with Fang Heng.

The other people could only think of schemes and tricks to temporarily hinder Fang Heng's development.

As long as they couldn't completely deal with Fang Heng's zombie team, they couldn't threaten Fang Heng.

That was secondary.

What Tian Zhen was really afraid of was Fang Heng's growth speed!

It was too fast!

The last time he saw Fang Heng's video, Fang Heng could only control a small number of Lickers and a Tyrant form.

His combat power was considered strong among the player, but he was easy to deal with.

However, in just half a month, the number of Lickers that Fang Heng could control had turned into a large number, along with over twenty Tyrant forms...

If he was given another half a month...

Tian Zhen did not dare to think about it.

After thinking hard for an entire night, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

How about... surrendering?

Once this thought appeared, it lingered in Tian Zhen's mind.

In the world of adults, benefits came first.

Surrendering was shameful, but it was useful.

At the very least, he would not suffer a greater loss.

Tian Zhen raised his head.

He noticed that many players in the guild were also exchanging glances with one another.

It seemed that everyone had been scared by the battle last night.

Just as Tian Zhen had guessed, many player guilds had already begun to think about quitting.

After two defeats, it was a huge loss for the guilds.

"Commander Tian! Good news!"

Outside the conference hall, a deputy commander of the game guilds hurriedly pushed open the door, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"What good news?"

"It's the Federation! The Federation has announced it to the public!"

"To protect the people's safety, the Federation has decided to join forces with the major player guilds in District 7 to deal with the Scavenger Army. They have also temporarily placed Fang Heng on the list of dangerous players and publicly called for Fang Heng to withdraw from the Scavenger Army."

The player looked excited as he panted and said, "If Fang Heng is unwilling to withdraw, the Federation may take coercive measures..."

Everyone was stunned.

The Federation was going to participate in the battle?!

This way...

"Alright!"

This news caused Niu Xia, whose heart was half-dead, to resurrect on the spot.

He stood up abruptly.

"With the pressure from the Federation, Fang Heng will be in big trouble this time."

The hall regained its vitality.

"Also, the Federation just sent us a message that their support team will arrive at the Edge Creek Town area in the afternoon and participate in the battle against the Scavenger Army."

Seeing that the team was on the verge of collapse, the news of the Federation joining the team gave the players a shot in the arm and ignited their fighting spirit once again.

With the participation of the Federation, their overall strength would inevitably see a great improvement!

"Great! With the Federation taking care of the Scavenger Army together, our chances of winning are even greater!"

"The Federation has high-level heavy weapons, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to deal with the Tyrant form controlled by Fang Heng."

"Not only that, but I've also heard that the Federation has a special injection specifically for dealing with the Scavenger Army, and it works with a single hit..."

"Really? There's such a thing?"

The players once again began to discuss fervently, as if with the addition of the Federation, they could turn the tide in one fell swoop.

Tian Zhen was silent.

The Federation had officially joined as well...

He had previously fought with the commander of District 7, Kou Huai, and he knew very well that he was an extremely difficult character to deal with.

Kou Huai must have also sensed the threat from Fang Heng.

The players were discussing excitedly when the door to the conference room hall was suddenly pushed open from outside.

"Commander Tian! They are coming to attack us!"

Tian Zhen's pupils constricted.

"Coming to attack us? Who are they? Speak clearly!"

The player adjusted his breathing and said in a deep voice, "It's the Scavenger Army! Roche has led a team to attack our shelter. They are expected to arrive in five minutes!"

The entire conference room fell silent again.

Tian Zhen looked around the hall and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

They actually came knocking on his door?

Did they really think they were pushovers?!

"Everyone, follow me! Let's fight!"

Chapter 416: Ascension

In the suburban wasteland area.

Two large trucks drove into the town occupied by the Scavenger Army.

The commander of the military district, Lei Ming, led the members of the Scavenger Army to welcome them in the town's central square.

The eyes of the members of the army were filled with incomparable eagerness.

"Osborne, you are three days behind the scheduled time."

Osborne jumped down from the passenger seat.

"I've tried my best. The front line is in a dire situation. You know our current situation. The other areas are the same. I know you're in a critical situation. I'll send these two batches of potions to you immediately."

"Cheh!"

Lei Ming waved his hand to signal his subordinates to move the goods. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you were two days late, you could have come directly to collect our corpses."

As usual, Osborne had a stern face and said word by word, "Lei Ming, I believe that your strength is not limited to this. Also, I have good news for you. This time, I brought you an additional half-truck of potions."

"Hmph."

Lei Ming snorted lightly.

After getting an additional half-truck of warlord potions, the displeasure in his heart eased a little.

"By the way, what happened to that Fang Heng recently? How did he rise to the rank of regional chief commander so quickly?"

"It was specially approved by Commander Cook Barn. Fang Heng produced a large number of warlord potions in a short period to alleviate the crisis on the front line. In addition, these potions in your hands were all made with Fang Heng's help."

"A potion maker?"

Lei Ming pursed his lips and a feeling of dissatisfaction rose from his heart.

They fought to the death on the front line but in the end, they were worse off than a potion maker!

How unpleasant!

"Brother Lei!"

While they were talking, a team member who was carrying the goods jumped down from the truck and handed a bottle of warlord potion to Lei Ming.

"Brother Lei, the potion doesn't seem right."

Lei Ming took the potion and looked at it in his hand, his face darkening.

"Osborne! What does this mean?"

"It's a modified version of the warlord potion. Fang Heng, whom you mentioned just now, was the one who made it."

Osborne explained expressionlessly, "Tell your men to hurry up and unload the goods. I still have a few more to run. There was a problem with the transport truck yesterday. I'm in a hurry."

"D*mn it! Are you kidding me?"

Lei Ming stared at Osborne fiercely.

"Are you trying to trick me with defective goods? Is that why you gave me more than half a box of potions?"

"I don't have the time." Osborne frowned. "Do you want it? If you don't unload the goods, we'll leave now."

"Wait! I'll try the effect first."

Lei Ming stopped Osborne. Just as he was about to test the effect of the potion himself, gunshots sounded outside the town.

A member of the Scavenger Army shouted, "Brother Lei! Someone is attacking the base!"

Osborne and Lei Ming were stunned at the same time.

"F*ck! You're courting death!" Lei Ming's eyes turned red as he shouted, "Bring the potion with you! Fight alongside me!"

The base was suddenly attacked. Lei Ming didn't care whether the potion provided by Osborne was defective or not. He picked up a bottle of potion, opened the cap and gulped it down.

As the potion flowed down his throat, a warm current instantly flowed into his limbs and bones!

Lei Ming's pupils constricted!

The feeling was completely different from when he drank the warlord potion in the past!

In the past, the potion would give rise to a fighting desire that would gradually increase. In contrast, the new potion made one extremely violent!

He felt a violent force entering his body intensely.

"This... !"

Lei Ming turned around to look at Osborne, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

Osborne was expressionless as he looked back calmly.

"How is it?"

"Hahaha! Good! Good!!"

Lei Ming said as he gulped down several bottles of warlord potions in one go!

The veins on his neck bulged and his skin revealed a scarlet blood colour.

With a machete in one hand, Lei Ming laughed wildly, "Brothers! Take the potions and kill these intruders with me!"

"Roar!"

The members of the Scavenger Army gulped down the warlord potions which had been modified by Fang Heng.

In an instant, the entire Scavenger Army fell into an extremely frantic bloodthirsty state.

It was as if they were delirious and wild. They roared and joined the battlefield outside.

Soon, the Federation players who were attacking the Scavenger Army base noticed something strange about the enemy.

In the early hours of last night, all the Federation shelters in District 7 received the mobilization order from the command centre of District 7.

Federation Shelter No. 9 was all mobilized. They wanted to wipe out the Scavenger Army's base in the suburban wasteland area in one fell swoop. They wanted to fight a beautiful victory and show their faces in front of their leaders.

But they did not expect that the Scavenger Army today was completely different from the sickly look they had in the past!

The soldiers of the Scavenger Army were all extremely excited. Their physical defense ability had directly improved by a level compared to two days ago!

Ordinary bullets could hardly stop their footsteps.

In less than ten minutes, the frontline positions set up by the Federation had been broken through by the Scavenger Army.

What was going on? How did their combat strength suddenly improve so quickly?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the federal commander immediately gave the order to retreat.

"The situation is not right! Retreat first!"

"Hahaha! Trying to escape!! Did you obtain my consent?"

Lei Ming was extremely excited, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Ah!? Speak up! Did I agree to your escape?!"

"All of you, chase them! Kill them all!!!"

In the city, Osborne looked at the battlefield in front of him from afar.

Hearing the roars coming from his ears, Osborne could not help but feel a little aghast.

What did that Fang Heng do to the warlord potion?

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the warlord potion had increased its effect by 40-60% from its original base!

...

The same situation was happening everywhere in the vicinity of Edge Creek Town.

The players from the Dragon Country Guild base were under great pressure from Roche's attack.

The automatic cannons set up in the shelter kept shooting out tongues of fire.

Even so, they still managed to withstand the attack of the Scavenger Army with great difficulty.

Compared to yesterday, the Scavenger Army's combat strength had increased significantly!

What was going on with this game?

How could the difficulty level increase again and again in just two days?

Was this all Fang Heng's doing?!

Niu Xia was extremely shocked. He had even seen a high-level Scavenger Army elite fall to the ground after being hit by the range of the rocket launcher. A large part of the right side of his body, including his arm, had been blown off.

On the side, someone gave the Scavenger Army elite a mouthful of potion. The latter stood up and continued to join the battle.

Crazy!

They were no longer humans.

To a certain extent, they had become zombies...

The madness of the Scavenger Army made the players feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Behind the defensive fortifications, Tian Zhen led the player team to face the enemy.

On the surface, Tian Zhen looked extremely calm and gave orders in an organized manner. In reality, he was extremely nervous and uptight. His spirit had long been stretched to the limit!

For the time being, the shelter could still withstand the attack of the Scavenger Army by relying on the defensive facilities.

But...

There was still one major unsettling factor...

That was Fang Heng!

Until now, Fang Heng and his zombie team had not appeared yet!

Once the zombie team that they encountered last night joined the battle, their shelter would be lost!

Chapter 417: Promotion

Due to the two-day teleportation time limit, Fang Heng was forced to return to District 8.

The research institute in District 8 was 100% operational and all the researchers were extremely busy.

Fang Heng originally wanted to ask Qiu Yaokang about the research and development of the first-generation meteorite but he didn't manage to find him.

After asking around, he found out that there was a breakthrough in the research of the first-generation meteorite. Qiu Yaokang was invited to the Dark Knights to host a seminar on the first-generation meteorite.

He felt a sense of helplessness and decide to wait until the repair of the teleportation device was completed. In the meantime, Fang Heng would return to District 7 first. He planned to ask about the first-generation meteorite the next time he came back.

After a period of delay, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to District 7.

The moment Fang Heng opened his eyes, a dense number of game hints rapidly refreshed in the lower right corner of his retina.

It took a full minute to complete the entire process.

[Hint: During the time you are offline, your zombie team has completed making warlord potion (changed)*2315. You have gained 5876 experience points from potion making.

[Hint: Osborne has voted in favour.]

[Hint: Lei Ming has voted in favour...]

[Hint: Your nomination has been approved by a majority of votes above the rank of regional commander in the Scavenger Army.]

What the hell!

Fang Heng was in a hurry. He opened the game log and flipped back to read the game hints again.

After reading through, Fang Heng fell into a short silence.

"What does this mean? I got promoted?"

Fang Heng was about to ask Roche about the situation.

Walking out of the warehouse, Osborne was waiting outside the door early.

"Fang Heng, I was just looking for you."

Osborne spent a lot of effort distributing the improved version of the warlord potions that Fang Heng had made to the regional branches of the Scavenger Army in the surrounding area. He had just returned to Edge Creek Town not long ago.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, Osborne's spirit was very good.

The effect of the warlord potion made by Fang Heng was amazing!

In just half a day, the Scavenger Army gained a great advantage in the battle with the survivors. They directly declared that they had occupied three small-sized areas and one medium-sized area!

The morale of the entire Scavenger Army was at its peak.

"What? Am I in trouble again?"

"No, it's a good thing. The regional commander, Lei Ming, has occupied the southern area of the city. Commander Cook has decided to build a large stronghold with this southern area as the centre. Together with the nine small-sized areas in the surrounding area, they will push forward together. You were elected by the regional commanders to be the leader of the southern area, the chief commander."

"Half an hour ago, this appointment was personally passed down by Commander Cook Barn."

[Hint: Your rank in the Scavenger Army and your reputation in the Scavenger Army have reached the requirements of a regional commander. You have also reached more than half of the votes through the election. You have become the regional chief commander of the southern area of the city.]

[Hint: You have obtained the command authority of Edge Creek Town, the suburban wasteland area, the Yellow Port area, the Wanlin Factory area, and so on.]

[Hint: You have obtained 50 high-level Scavenger Army members, 100 middle-level Scavenger Army members and 300 Scavenger Army members.]

A row of game hints flashed across Fang Heng's vision.

He had been promoted...

But he seemed to be a mole in the Dark Knights?

Fang Heng was a little confused for a moment.

He tried to clear his mind and glanced at the main storyline mission in the mission panel about finding a way to get in touch with Cook Barn.

"Osborne, when can I meet Commander Cook?"

"The situation is urgent. You need to immediately head to the South City district to take up your post. Also, the personnel assigned to you have been prepared. After the construction of the South City district has come to an end, you can report the situation to Commander Cook at any time."

"In addition, according to Commander Cook's instructions, you will be in charge of the warlord potion making mission in the South City district. I will also accompany you as the logistics commander."

Osborne said as he looked at the warehouse behind Fang Heng.

"So the most important thing for us now is to escort these materials back to the South City district. When can we set off?"

Fang Heng smiled bitterly in his heart.

At first, he did want to quickly get promoted and complete the mission.

But he did not expect it to suddenly become so fast.

"Fang Heng, there are still some production benches and pharmaceutical staff in the warehouse. Do you want to bring them back together?"

"Yes, okay. Send the things in the warehouse back first. Take all the pharmaceutical staff with you!"

"Okay, I'll go and get ready now."

Fang Heng scratched his hair and fell into deep thought.

...

At the headquarters of the Federation in District 7, Kou Huai received the latest battle reports in his hands.

Why did this happen?!

Kou Huai's mood was extremely heavy.

The strength of the Scavenger Army had greatly increased overnight!

There was an unconfirmed report that the Scavenger Army had improved the special potion, and their strength had greatly increased.

Why?

How could it be such a coincidence?!

Fang Heng!

Everything was related to him?

Kou Huai felt that his judgment was not wrong.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

"Please come in."

A soldier walked into the command room with a heavy expression and handed over the file in his hand.

"Sir, the latest intelligence from the Scavenger Army is about Fang Heng."

It was Fang Heng again!

What action did he take this time!

Kou Huai's heart skipped a beat.

"Put down the report, you can leave first."

"Roger!"

Kou Huai's expression was solemn.

He waited until the soldier closed the door before flipping open the report.

After reading the contents of the report clearly, Kou Huai stood up abruptly.

Regional chief commander!

Fang Heng was promoted to regional chief commander by the Scavenger Army?!

Kou Huai had once collected all the information related to the Scavenger Army.

Among the ranks of the Scavenger Army, the highest rank was the commander of the army, Cook Barn, followed by seven regional chief commanders!

Now, Fang Heng was the eighth member!

Fang Heng could increase his contribution within the Scavenger Army to become regional chief commander in such a short time?!

To be promoted to the regional chief commander, in addition to the player contribution points needed to be raised to an extremely high level, one also required a lot of prestige and even needed to win the votes of other commanders.

Only after going through many trials could one succeed.

He actually did it...

Kou Huai took a deep breath.

His evaluation of Fang Heng was already extremely high, but he did not expect Fang Heng to once again exceed his expectations.

Chapter 418: Ambushed

That's right, this could explain it.

The large increase in the strength of the Scavenger Army must have been related to Fang Heng, which was why Fang Heng's contribution to the Scavenger Army increased so quickly.

Kou Huai adjusted his mood and sat down again.

He took out the map on the table and compared it.

"The regional commander of the South City district..."

"Fang Heng, you are indeed very powerful, but you made a mistake in this step, which is tantamount to digging your own grave."

Kou Huai sneered in his heart and picked up the phone on the table.

"Xiao Chen, pass the message to find a way to mobilize the Dark Knights."

"Yes!"

"Any feedback from the inspection team?"

"Sir, I heard that the inspection team has sent people to look for Fang Heng and communicate with him."

...

[Hint: Your team has completed the gathering in the southern area of the city.]

[Hint: You have obtained 7273 Scavenger Army contribution points. You have obtained the authority to command the South City district.]

[Hint: The current defense of the city is Level 37. You can use contribution points to exchange for materials, guns, and other items to strengthen the defense of the city.]

[Hint: Player has triggered a mission: protect the city, clear the southern area of the city, kill, gather materials, recruit soldiers, make potions and other missions...]

Fang Heng spent a full day's work until the evening before settling down in the small town in the South City district.

The subsequent series of missions refreshed, causing Fang Heng to have a headache.

He admitted that he was a spy for the Dark Knights, so he would not work so hard for the Scavenger Army...

Originally, Fang Heng had wanted to complete the main storyline mission as soon as possible, and find an opportunity to kill Cook Barn to complete the main storyline mission.

But now that the Federation was involved, the situation became unclear.

After thinking for a while, Fang Heng decided to wait until tomorrow morning to think of a way to meet with Ai Lei of the Dark Knights to confirm the details of the next step in killing Cook Barn.

Let's talk about it tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Fang Heng decided to go offline and prepare to have a good rest.

After getting out of the game cabin, Fang Heng went to the library in the backyard and prepared to bring the book back to the game world for the zombie clone to read.

In the study, Xiao Ruoruo was reading a book carefully.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Xiao Ruoruo turned her head and said in surprise, "Brother Fang Heng!"

"Hey, haven't you rested yet?"

"It's still early. I found something about the mark, so I came to check some information."

Fang Heng was surprised, "Found something?"

"Yeah, show me the mark first."

Hearing that, Fang Heng raised the back of his right hand.

Once he focused on the back of his hand, a rune immediately appeared on the back of his hand.

Ever since he activated the mark skill in the game, the rune on the back of his hand had become more complicated. It would take him a long time to draw it again.

Xiao Ruoruo compared the rune and opened a book to compare it with a certain pattern on it.

"Brother Fang Heng, look, are the patterns on the mark similar to this one?"

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched.

This part of the mark was 90% similar!

"Right!"

"Right? When I saw it for the first time, I felt that it was a bit familiar. It took me a long time to recall it."

"What does this pattern represent?"

"It's related to the Nightmare Mirror. When I was young, I heard my grandmother say that with the strength of the Nightmare Mirror, we can freely travel through many unknown worlds."

Xiao Ruoruo recalled bitterly and slowly narrated.

"Unfortunately, a long time ago, the Nightmare Mirror was destroyed and divided into pieces that were left in every corner of the world."

"Later on, the Nightmare Demon used its special strength to completely devour a few pieces of the Nightmare Mirror. We completely lost the hope of opening the passage to other worlds."

The Nightmare Mirror with the ability to teleport...

Fang Heng lowered his head and started thinking.

The world that Xiao Ruoruo was in was a higher-level Nightmare World.

Did the Nightmare Mirror that she mentioned correspond to the space tearing device of a lower-level game world?

But what did this have to do with the mark on the back of his hand?

Xiao Ruoruo's mood was a little low. She continued, "After completely losing the Nightmare Mirror, apart from facing the nightmare crisis in this world, we also have to constantly be on guard against the impact of the lower-level worlds."

Fang Heng was puzzled.

"The impact of the lower worlds? What is that?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Ruoruo thought for a moment. "I'm not too sure either. Grandmother addressed them this way. In my impression, whenever grandmother encountered a similar impact, she would always be very nervous."

"However, in my impression, the abilities of those intruders are very ordinary. In most cases, they would die at the hands of the Nightmare Demon before we could even make a move. I also don't quite understand the meaning of them entering our world."

"Oh right, the person leading them is called the World Lord. Every time they invade, the World Lord would bring many players with similar special abilities to participate."

Listening to Xiao Ruoruo's description, Fang Heng's pupils constricted.

World Lord?!

Could it be...

Could it be that Xiao Ruoruo was referring to the player that had cleared a server's main storyline mission?

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

...

After leaving the study, Fang Heng was a little sleepy. He prepared to return to his room early to sleep.

"Eh?"

Fang Heng had just passed through the stone bridge in the back garden. His sharp perception told him something.

He stopped and looked around vigilantly.

In front of him, a middle-aged man in black sportswear walked out from the dark shadows.

He had a sword hanging by his waist.

"Fang Heng?"

The middle-aged man's gaze was focused on Fang Heng, sizing him up.

"Yes, you are?"

The middle-aged man was expressionless, and his tone was unusually cold.

"Meng Wu, a Grade 3 investigator of the Federation's Investigation Team. Player Fang Heng is suspected of violating the Federation's ban. We need you to come back with us to assist in the investigation."

As he spoke, Meng Wu walked toward Fang Heng step by step.

The Federation came knocking on his door?

Fang Heng's heart stirred. He took half a step back and touched his pocket.

There were a few small raw blue crystal ores in his pocket.

"What if I don't want to?"

"Then I can only invite you over."

As Meng Wu spoke, he lightly tapped his feet on the ground and suddenly accelerated!

His entire body was light as a feather as if he did not have any point of force. His body turned into a shadow and rapidly flew forward.

Fang Heng's pupils instantly enlarged.

His high level of perception ability allowed him to capture Meng Wu's entire movement.

"Shoo~!"

Fang Heng suddenly swung his hand forward, and the two ores in his hand flew towards Meng Wu in mid-air.

"Bang!!"

A white light flashed.

The two ores were cut into ashes by Meng Wu's sword.

Fang Heng was stunned.

Weapon?

He was playing tricks, right?

Fang Heng didn't say much. He clenched his fist and used all his strength to punch forward.

His fist created a strong wind in the air.

For the first time, a surprised expression flashed in Meng Wu's eyes.

He was surprised at the strength of Fang Heng's punch.

"Swoosh!!"

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly felt a figure in front of him blur.

The punch hit nothing but air.

Oh no!

It was a special skill!

A player with Tier 3 materialization!

Chapter 419: Teamwork

Fang Heng did not expect Meng Wu to be able to use skills outside of the game!

In the blink of an eye, Meng Wu had already arrived in front of Fang Heng, pressing the hilt of his sword against Fang Heng's throat.

"Brother Fang Heng!"

Xiao Ruoruo cried out in surprise.

She had just heard the sounds of fighting outside in the study and came out to take a look. Then, she saw the scene of Meng Wu pressing the hilt of his sword against Fang Heng's throat.

"Who are you! Let go of him quickly!"

Xiao Ruoruo's willowy eyebrows were vertical as she stared at Meng Wu.

Under the moonlight, the shadow behind Xiao Ruoruo started to shake rapidly.

Meng Wu glanced at Xiao Ruoruo and looked at Fang Heng again.

"I have no intention of expanding the conflict, and I have no intention of hurting anyone. Just follow me back for the investigation."

"I can't. I still have things to do. It will be very difficult for me to follow you back..."

As Fang Heng spoke, he slowly raised his hand toward the sky and made an 'eight' gesture.

Xiao Ruoruo understood the meaning of Fang Heng's gesture.

In the next moment, Meng Wu's pupils suddenly constricted.

A black magic array quickly circled under Fang Heng's feet.

The aura that exploded from the magic array caused Meng Wu to take half a step back.

"What's the situation?"

Meng Wu sensed an extremely powerful strength from the magic array and did not dare to approach it for a moment.

A greenish-white palm that was as rotten as a dead tree extended out from the magic array and rapidly grabbed at Fang Heng's body. In the blink of an eye, Fang Heng was tightly wrapped, as if it wanted to drag Fang Heng into the magic array with it.

After tightly wrapping Fang Heng, several greenish-grey palms even grabbed at Meng Wu.

Meng Wu was shocked and immediately reacted.

Several sword shadows streaked across.

"Bang!!"

The greenish-grey palms and Fang Heng, who was trapped within, shattered before his eyes.

What was going on?

Was it an illusion?

Meng Wu was shocked once again.

"Roar!!!!!"

In the next second, the two abyssal monsters that Xiao Ruoruo controlled transformed into shadows and roared as they charged toward Meng Wu from the left and right.

"Nightmare Demons..."

Meng Wu looked at the two shadow creatures and whispered.

The two abyssal monsters opened their huge mouths and were about to swallow Meng Wu.

The sword light flashed!

The Nightmare Demon's body was cut by Meng Wu's sword, and the roaring Nightmare Demon was cut into two by the sword light.

Xiao Ruoruo formed a seal with both hands and shouted, "Split!"

"Boom! Boom!"

In the next instant, two abyssal monsters self-detonated in front of Meng Wu at the same time!

Meng Wu was affected by the explosion at a very close distance. His hands immediately blocked in front of him, but his body was still sent flying by the berserk force generated by the self-detonation!

Just as his body lost control in midair, Meng Wu felt an extremely strong sense of danger.

An extremely weak light flashed in front of him.

After disappearing for eight seconds, Fang Heng appeared out of thin air!

Fang Heng clenched his fist and faced Meng Wu, who was flying toward him from the front. He threw a punch at Meng Wu's face.

"Boom!!!"

In midair, Meng Wu had no way to dodge. He was hit by Fang Heng's punch head-on, and his entire body was sent flying. He crashed into the wall behind him.

Crack!!

The wall cracked like a spider web.

More than half of Meng Wu's body was trapped in the wall.

"Hu..."

Meng Wu breathed slowly.

After three breaths, Meng Wu's breathing returned to normal.

He slowly raised his head.

Meng Wu's entire face had been smashed into a bloody mess by this punch, but he still maintained his extreme calmness.

"Pa..."

As the shrapnel fell, Meng Wu fell from the hole in the wall.

Fang Heng stared at Meng Wu and felt an extremely dangerous aura from him.

Just now, even a slightly thinner steel plate could be pierced through, but it didn't have much of a reaction when it hit his face?

"Ruoruo, be careful."

"Okay."

Just as Fang Heng was thinking about how to deal with Meng Wu, a voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"The great leader of the Federation's Investigation Team, Meng Wu, has arrived. Why didn't you inform us in advance? I could have prepared some good tea to welcome you."

Mo Yunxiao walked out from the passage at the side with a smile on his face and looked at the person who came.

Mo Jiawei poked his head out from behind Mo Yunxiao and gave Fang Heng a thumbs up.

Good heavens, reinforcements were finally called in.

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he finally didn't have to fight this monster anymore.

Meng Wu slowly turned his head.

At this moment, his face was a bloody mess, looking unusually ferocious.

His tone was still unusually calm.

"Mr Mo, I received instructions from superiors to ask Fang Heng to go back and assist in the investigation."

"What did Fang Heng do? Why is there a need to trouble Leader Meng to personally intervene?"

"I don't know what crime he committed." Meng Wu shook his head and said calmly, "I'm only responsible for receiving orders from superiors. Please go back and receive the investigation, Mr Fang Heng."

"Alright, your mission failed. Go back and report it." Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "Please tell your Minister Yu that if he wants to take Fang Heng away, I'm afraid he'll have to come over personally."

"Alright, I'll bring him over."

Meng Wu nodded at Mo Yunxiao. As he spoke, he slowly retreated into the darkness.

...

Ten minutes later, Mo Yunxiao, Fang Heng and the others arrived at the teahouse.

Mo Yunxiao leisurely made a cup of tea for the four of them.

"To be able to beat up the leader of the Federation's Investigation Team, who can materialize a Tier 3 entity, with one punch..." Mo Yunxiao smiled gently and took a sip of tea, "Fang Heng, your name will be on the Federation's list of high-level dangerous people tomorrow."

"It can't be that bad."

"Those who can enter the investigation team are all elites of the Federation. At the very least, they are players who have entered the high-level game. In addition, Meng Wu is the captain of Team 3 of the investigation team. People call him facial paralysis. Countless high-level criminals of the Federation have fallen at his hands. This is the first time in the past few years that he has failed."

"Then I'm truly honoured..."

Fang Heng nodded his head and thanked Mo Yunxiao. "Thank you."

"There's no need to be so formal."

Mo Yunxiao waved his hand and put down his teacup. "Alright, I'm not joking. Fang Heng, I've already heard about what happened on the way from Jiawei."

"Let's be honest, you're very interested in the main storyline mission of District 7 and want to compete with the Federation, right?"

"Yes," Fang Heng admitted frankly. "I didn't want it that much at first, so I just took it out of convenience. However, the recent actions of the Federation have made me very unhappy."

"Yeah."

Mo Yunxiao listened to Fang Heng's words and felt that it was interesting.

Taking the main storyline as well?

It should be known that the Federation had spent so much effort to obtain the main storyline. Up until now, they had only obtained about ten main storyline worlds.

Mo Yunxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've heard that Kou Huai of Zombie Apocalypse's District 7 is a very difficult character to deal with."

"He once spent a year to eliminate all the anti-federal organization's forces in District 7. Therefore, Zombie Apocalypse's District 7 has always been very stable and was firmly controlled by him."

"I think that the reason why Director Yu of the investigation team acted against you this time was probably because of him."

Fang Heng began to feel a sense of danger.

Although he had the ability of the mark, he could directly use the mark to hide in the game when he was in danger.

However, it was a little displeasing to just hide like this.

"Mr Mo, do you have any suggestions?"

Chapter 420: Countermeasures

"If you want my opinion, I think you should give up."

Give up?

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.

Mo Jiawei shouted directly, "No! Fourth Uncle! How can we give up just like that! We've spent so much effort..."

"Listen to me first."

Mo Yunxiao waved his hand and said seriously, "We all know that the main storyline mission of Zombie Apocalypse has a lot to do with the Dark Knights."

"You've been in District 7 for too short a time. The Federation has already been ahead of you by too much. Under such circumstances, you can imagine how difficult it is to catch up."

"If I were Kou Huai, I would use the resources of the Dark Knights to pressure you. He doesn't even need to do it himself to make it difficult for you to move within the Dark Knights. He would completely cut off your follow-up main storyline mission in District 7."

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

This was also what he had been worried about previously.

The Federation was able to affect the Dark Knights to a large extent. Even if he managed to complete the mission chain to assassinate Cook Barn and earn some contribution points, what about the following main storyline mission?

It was still difficult for him to interfere.

Mo Jiawei didn't think so far ahead at the start. After hearing Mo Yunxiao's words, his heart instantly turned cold as he thought to himself, "Can you still play like this?"

This is a dead end!

Are the people of the Federation all so sly?

Xiao Ruoruo also looked worriedly at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

The fact that the Federation was able to control the Dark Knights at this juncture was truly too unbearable.

However... was there no other way?

Not really.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes indiscernibly as he raised his head and said, "Mr Mo, I think I still have a chance."

"Huh?"

Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile. "Feel free to say it."

"Kou Huai wants to play, so let's play seriously."

Fang Heng did not have any intention of joking. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "I can choose to slow down the progress of the main storyline mission and help the Scavenger Army resist the Dark Knights. Then, with the strength of the Scavenger Army, I can slowly find an opportunity to get rid of those Federation players who have higher contribution points than me in the Dark Knights."

Everyone was stunned.

"Interesting idea, but it's very difficult to do this. Moreover, as far as I know, there's no precedent for this. Other than the Dark Knights, there's no other way to complete the main storyline mission."

"I will take my time then. I don't mind. I believe there's always another way to complete the main storyline. I can take my time to find it."

Fang Heng spread his hands.

"If the path of the Dark Knights doesn't work, why don't we try to take the path of Cook Barn?"

Mo Jiawei was stunned and asked, "Cook Barn? What does that mean?"

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Heng explained, "Cook Barn is also related to the first-generation meteorite in the main storyline. Maybe it can trigger the main storyline mission. There hasn't been such a precedent before, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, right?"

Fang Heng had a vague feeling that the founder of the Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, should know something. There was a probability that he could dig out clues related to the main storyline mission from him.

In his previous world, weren't the games divided into 'bad end' and 'good end'?

Helping Cook Barn destroy the entire world to complete 'bad end' might also be considered to have completed the main storyline...

Just because there was no precedent didn't mean that it didn't exist.

There were always more solutions than difficulties.

Even if he failed, he would be able to exhaust the strength of the Federation and vent his anger. At the same time, he would be able to obtain some clues related to the main storyline from Cook Barn.

If it didn't work out, he might as well just destroy the Dark Knights!

He would just flip the table and stop playing! At that time, no one would be able to take the main storyline mission!

"Amazing! ! There's such a move? Why didn't I think of it?"

After carefully pondering over Fang Heng's words, Mo Jiawei clapped his hands and was instantly pleasantly surprised.

He thought to himself that God was indeed a god. There were so many such fancy and flashy operations.

Mo Yunxiao smiled and didn't say anything. He felt that it might be a method.

However, this method was too idealistic.

Ordinary players couldn't join the Scavenger Army under the Federation's strong pressure, let alone trigger the Scavenger Army's mission line.

Moreover, it was easier said than done to do this. It was equivalent to a villain's mission line courting death, and the vast majority of survival players and the Federation stood on a different side.

Even the anti-federal organization was rarely this crazy.

Thinking about it carefully, Mo Yunxiao felt that it was very interesting.

With an opponent like Fang Heng, the Federation would feel very distressed.

He was looking forward to what Fang Heng would become once he entered the high-level game.

Fang Heng asked, "Mr Mo, what do you think of my plan?"

"It's a very interesting idea. I think that since you've already decided on your idea, you can be at ease and do it without any worries. I'll be staying here for some time. The people of the Federation won't personally come and ask for you."

Mo Yunxiao raised his teacup. "I wish you success."

"Thank you, Mr Mo!"

...

2 am in the morning.

At the Municipal Inspection Bureau.

The chief of the Federation's Inspection Bureau, Cao Buchun, hurriedly walked outside the office. He knocked on the door and pushed it open to enter.

"Director Yu."

"Hmm, you're still here to personally report on your work so late at night? How's the situation with Meng Wu?"

Yu Feiyu closed the file in his hand.

He was the one who had ordered Fang Heng to come back for the investigation.

He knew that Meng Wu's operation would most likely fail tonight.

North River Heavy Industry had been very calm in recent years, but the higher-ups of the Federation were very clear that North River Heavy Industry was not of good character either.

This time, Meng Wu was asked to go over just to take a look at the situation and provide a decent explanation to District 7.

The Inspection Bureau had a lot of things to do. There was no need to waste manpower and resources for a low-level game world.

However, this time, Cao Buchun's face was gloomy.

"Director Yu, there's a problem. It was just confirmed ten minutes ago that Meng Wu is dead."

"What?"

Yu Feiyu's pupils constricted.

In a short moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Who did it? Is it North River Heavy Industry?"

"I'm not sure. After Leader Meng left North River Heavy Industry, he reported to me about the general work situation. It was too late at that time, so I told him to go back and rest first. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to fill in a detailed mission record for him."

Cao Buchun recalled the situation that night. "About ten minutes ago, the police station received a report that a corpse was found by the roadside."

"The inspection team has already inspected the scene at the first possible moment. The preliminary conclusion is that it doesn't seem like the Mo Family of North River Heavy Industry. From the traces left behind at the scene, it's likely that it was done by a demi-human."

Yu Feiyu frowned when he heard that.

"Demi-human..."

"The preliminary autopsy found that there were no external injuries on the surface of the body. The organs exploded and died. The scene of death contained a strong sense of provocation and venting anger..."

"Provocation?" Yu Feiyu stood up and picked up his coat. "Come with me to the scene. We'll talk as we walk.

Chapter 421: Counterattack

After chatting with Mo Yunxiao about the details of the game for most of the night, Fang Heng's chaotic goals became clearer.

They talked until dawn before returning to their rooms to sleep.

This time, Fang Heng slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Fang Heng went online as usual.

As soon as he went online, a row of game hints instantly appeared.

[Hint: During the period when you went offline, the town in the South City district was ambushed by the outside world.]

[Hint: The high-level elite of the Scavenger Army, Wuke, led a team to resist the ambush from the outside world. You have obtained 21,983 Scavenger Army contribution points. Total consumption of warehouse materials and warlord potion (changed)*425.]

[Hint: During the battle, your team killed a member of the Dark Knights. Your friendship with the Dark Knights has been greatly reduced.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the Dark Knights has fallen into hatred.]

[Hint: Your friendship with Ai Lei has been greatly reduced.]

[Hint: Your mission to kill Cook Barn has been affected. Default failure.]

Looking at the game hints, Fang Heng's face darkened and he fell silent.

He was boiling with rage internally.

The mission had failed. All his hard work during this time had gone to waste.

"The Federation!"

"Despicable!"

Mo Yunxiao had guessed it right!

They had already predicted that the Federation would use the Dark Knights to put pressure on him.

All of this was actually within Fang Heng and Mo Yunxiao's expectations.

They had discussed for a long time last night and had already thought of ways to prevent the Federation from making any small moves, but the fact that the Federation was using the Dark Knights to tamper with him was simply impossible to prevent!

However, Fang Heng still felt angry in his heart.

This seemed to be his first time failing a mission.

Moreover, it was the main storyline mission!

He was clearly about to come into contact with Cook Barn, and he was just a little bit away from completing the mission!

Taking a deep breath, Fang Heng tried to calm himself down.

"I can't calm down!"

"I can't stand it!"

"I'm going to join the Scavenger Army!"

"I'll directly start with the Scavenger Army to search for the main storyline mission!"

Miscellaneous thoughts ran through Fang Heng's mind and he was feeling extremely unhappy.

With a vengeful mentality, he opened his character panel and found one of the clean-up missions.

Mission name: Clean up the southern region of the city.

Mission description: Clean up all player's shelters within the southern region of the city.

Mission reward: Contribution points, survival points and various materials.

Following this, Fang Heng didn't have to worry about robbing the Federation's shelter.

"I'm not going to do the main storyline mission of District 7 anymore. Let's just have fun!"

Fang Heng thought viciously. He opened the mission details and looked at all the shelters in the entire South City district.

The Federation had two large-scale shelters near the South City district, three central shelters, and more than ten small-scale shelters and resource gathering points.

Anyway, the main storyline mission of District 8 was still stuck in the research phase, and it would take some time to trigger.

Since he had nothing to do, he might as well help the villains fight against the Federation!

He would start from the Federation's shelter! He would catch them off guard and earn contribution points!

Closing the map, Fang Heng immediately gathered Osborne and his new subordinates in the middle of the square.

Wuke and Huan Tai were originally the elites of the Scavenger Army and had just been promoted to regional commander.

Last night, they had led a team to break through the enemy's raid and were full of fighting spirit.

"Chief Commander Fang Heng!"

"Yes..."

Fang Heng looked around at his elite soldiers and said in a low voice, "Distribute the battle materials and prepare for battle. In thirty minutes, all of you will follow me to attack the target Shelter No. 16."

Wuke and Huan Tai looked at each other and saw the excitement flashing in each other's eyes.

When they first came here, they were a little worried when they heard that Fang Heng was a potioneer.

Now that they found out that Fang Heng was also a militant, they immediately put down their hearts that were hanging in the air.

The two of them shouted in unison, "Yes! Commander!!"

...

Federation's Zombie Apocalypse, District 7 command post.

The Federation, together with the major game guilds in District 7, fought with the Scavenger Army that Fang Heng secretly controlled for three whole days.

Kou Huai was having a headache.

In all the war zones except the South City district, the Federation had a huge advantage.

The Scavenger Army was retreating in defeat!

Only the South City district was filled with tragic reports every day.

Until yesterday afternoon, the Federation's last large-scale shelter in the South City district had been completely destroyed.

The South City district had fallen.

Helplessly, at this stage, the Federation was simply unable to resist the combination of the zombie team and the Scavenger Army's lunatics!

The small shelter was taken over by the crazy scavengers almost at once, while the large shelter only lasted for two or three days.

The consumption ability of the zombie team was too terrifying.

During the day, they finally managed to repel the Tyrant team with their heavy weapons. At night, they made a comeback.

Twice a day, they cooperated with the crazy scavengers to consume their energy from afar.

The players had no time to repair the shelter that had been damaged in the battle and under wave after wave of attacks, their energy was wearing out forcefully.

Every time they received a hint of an attack, the Federation shelter was under great psychological pressure.

It was not like the Federation had not tried to launch a surprise attack on the South City district.

However, the effect was extremely limited.

There were too many Lickers wandering around the South City district!

They would take the initiative to attack the passing vehicles. It was difficult for the Federation to organize an effective attack. Moreover, the Scavenger Army had also accumulated a portion of their forces within the town.

Kou Huai even suspected that there was a mole within their Federation. Every time they launched a surprise attack, the other party would be able to predict it in advance.

"Dong Dong Dong."

"Come in."

A Federation player saluted Kou Huai.

"Reporting sir, the superiors' report on Operation Guillotine!"

Operation Guillotine!

They had finally approved!

Kou Huai's eyes lit up.

"Bring it over."

It was a special side mission initiated by the Dark Knights, Operation Guillotine.

The objective of the mission was to directly kill Cook Barn.

Kou Huai had roughly heard of this mission.

The Dark Knights had managed to obtain the specific location of Cook Barn, the founder of the Scavenger Army.

The Scavenger Army was once under Cook Barn's control.

If everything went smoothly, once Cook Barn was killed, the entire Scavenger Army would be completely annihilated!

But at the same time, District 7 would also bear a huge risk!

According to the experience gained by the experts from their superiors from other districts, once Cook Barn suddenly died, the entire Scavenger Army would fall into a frenzy for some time and their strength would greatly increase. Then they would crazily destroy the player's shelter.

As long as they could survive that period of time, the members of the Scavenger Army would gradually die.

However, the troublesome thing was that the progress of the follow-up main storyline mission in District 7 would also be delayed for a very long period of time.

Therefore, before this, this plan had been put on hold.

But now, considering the destruction of Server 7 by the Scavenger Army, the superiors agreed to recruit various elite players from District 7 and District 8 to form an elite team to execute Operation Guillotine, completely eliminating Cook Barn.

Chapter 422: The Main Storyline Was Triggered

"Boom! Boom Boom!"

In front of a shelter, a dozen Tyrant form soldiers raised their fists and hammered at the ruins of the shelter.

[Hint: You have led the Scavenger Army to plunder a medium-sized shelter. You have received 23,000 Scavenger Army contribution points. Various resources are being transferred to the stronghold area of the southern city. Resources will be calculated after the transfer is completed...]

[Hint: You have cleared the shelter. You have obtained 26,000 Scavenger Army contribution points.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the Dark Knights (District 7) has been greatly reduced.]

[Hint: Your friendship with Ai Lei has been reduced to hatred.]

[Hint: Your reputation in the Scavenger Army has been greatly increased.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the commander of each district has been increased. Your friendship with Cook Barn has been increased...]

[Hint: Your honor level in the Scavenger Army has increased to Level 23 (Deputy commander).]

[Hint: Currently, you can still receive contribution points from the Scavenger Army, but your honor level can no longer be increased through contribution points.]

Even his honor level has reached the top level?

Looking at the game log, Fang Heng was somewhat silent. He even felt a little bored.

For the past three days, he had been fighting with the Federation.

He was under a lot of pressure.

Unfortunately, his teammates were not strong enough!

The Scavenger Army was besieged by the Federation and the player forces. Other than their South City district, the four regions in the game, the southern region, had been destroyed. The remaining western and northern regions were also in danger.

Only the eastern region, including their South City region, remained standing.

This was all thanks to his huge supply of improved warlord potions.

In addition, his friendship with the Dark Knights had already fallen into a state of hatred...

It would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens to restore their friendship.

As a mole, there was no turning back now.

"It's troublesome enough."

Fang Heng complained.

He had to think of another way to help the Scavenger Army develop and grow.

Otherwise, he would lose...

Fang Heng was thinking when Osborne walked in with two elite Scavenger Army members from the temporary warehouse.

"Chief Commander Fang Heng, Commander Mr Cook Barn wants to see you."

Fang Heng was stunned.

Then, a hint appeared.

[Hint: Your performance recently received Cook Barn's approval.]

[Hint: Your contribution has met the requirements. Special mission triggered-Cook Barn's plan.]

[Hint: The current mission is related to the main storyline. It may have a great impact on the storyline of the subsequent world. Player, please choose carefully...]

Mission name: Cook Barn's plan.

Mission description: Please meet with Cook Barn

Mission reward: ???

Main storyline! Main storyline!

The appearance of these two words made Fang Heng's spirit rise!

He had come into contact with a mission related to the main storyline!

Originally, Fang Heng did not have much hope for this antagonist's line. He just held the attitude of trying it out.

Currently, he was still staying in District 7 partly to disgust the Federation, and partly to quickly come into contact with Cook Barn. He wanted to try to obtain more information related to the main storyline from Cook Barn's mouth and learn by analogy so that he could avoid detours on the main storyline of District 8.

He didn't expect that he would be able to trigger the main storyline mission!

Fang Heng was in a great mood.

"I've always wanted to meet Mr Cook. When can we leave?"

"Commander Cook wants to see you as soon as possible. If it's convenient, we can leave now. The car is already waiting outside the door."

"Okay."

Fang Heng followed Osborne out of the warehouse.

Three large trucks parked side by side on the roadside.

"Trucks?"

Fang Heng looked at Osborne in confusion.

"Commander Cook Barn has always been paying attention to you. He wants to take this opportunity to see your friends."

"Huh?"

"Tyrant form."

"Oh."

Fang Heng understood and waved at the warehouse behind him.

Six Tyrant forms walked out of the warehouse behind him, strode to the back of the truck and sat down cross-legged.

"Let's go."

Fang Heng said as he walked to the passenger's seat.

Osborne glanced at the dark warehouse behind him, nodded, sat in the driver's seat and drove away from South City district with Fang Heng.

He was finally going to see Cook Barn!

Fang Heng was a little excited.

He would definitely be able to find clues related to the main storyline from Cook Barn!

...

Five hours later, the truck drove into a mountain range.

Through the rearview mirror, Osborne could see hundreds of Lickers following behind.

They crawled quickly along the ground, making sizzling sounds.

After circling the mountain range for a long time, the truck stopped at a corner of the mountain range.

There was a huge cave ahead.

The truck drove directly into the cave and Fang Heng discovered that there was a different world inside the cave.

The interior of the cave had been completely transformed and had become a modern research base.

Elite scavengers were guarding both sides of the passage.

Just as he got out of the truck, a strong young man walked toward Fang Heng and the others.

Ni Shengtao walked in front of Fang Heng and extended his hand to him.

"Hello, Commander Fang Heng. I'm Ni Shengtao, the chief commander of the research base. Welcome."

Fang Heng smiled and extended his hand. "Hello."

Bang, Bang, Bang..

Six Tyrant forms stepped out of the truck and stood behind Fang Heng.

It was Ni Shengtao's first time seeing the Tyrant form with his own eyes. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

Immediately after, the group of Lickers climbed around the truck.

"Commander Cook is waiting for you in the living room. He wants to see the Tyrant form you're controlling. Please bring the Tyrant form with you and follow me."

Osborne nodded. "You can go. Commander Cook doesn't want to see me. I'll wait for you here."

Fang Heng left the Lickers on the spot. He brought Tyrant along and followed Ni Shengtao into the depths of the research base.

After a while, Ni Shengtao brought Fang Heng to the meeting room.

This was the first time Fang Heng had seen the mastermind behind the Scavenger Army.

At first glance, Cook Barn looked like an old man who was dying.

He was sitting in a wheelchair and he was so thin that he looked like a dried corpse.

Fang Heng wondered if he could end Cook Barn's life with a single shot.

Who would have thought that the plot would change?

"Hello, I'm Fang Heng."

Cook Barn pushed the wheelchair and slowly moved in front of Fang Heng.

"Tyrant, a very beautiful life form, isn't it?"

Cook Barn's turbid eyes slowly moved toward Fang Heng.

"You've never drunk the divine potion."

"Commander Cook." Fang Heng slightly bowed and pointed at his head, he said, "The divine potion will desensitise me here. You know, I'm a potioneer. I need to maintain a clear mind."

"I've heard that you're a very capable potioneer."

Chapter 423: The Mysterious Box

Cook Barn did not dwell on this point. He shifted his gaze and pushed his wheelchair forward.

"You've done well during this period. The Dark Knights and the survivors have joined forces to deal with us. The army has suffered repeated setbacks. The improved potion you developed has helped us a lot..."

As he spoke, Cook Barn came to a wall in the reception room. He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the wall.

"I believe that the Dark Knights cannot stop our rise."

"Click..."

A hidden secret door was opened.

"This place used to be one of the secret research institutes of the Meteorite Company. After the disaster came, I brought it with me to transform this place."

Behind the hidden door was a long main passage.

Cook Barn pushed his wheelchair into the passage.

Fang Heng looked at Ni Shengtao and controlled the Tyrant form to follow him into the passage.

Walking along the long passage, Fang Heng pondered for a moment and tried to ask, "Commander Cook, I heard that you used to be a member of the Dark Knights?"

"Yes, that was a long time ago."

"Why did you leave them?"

"Hehe, of course, to pursue a broader future, young man."

Fang Heng frowned.

"You're a potioneer and you've also successfully improved the warlord potion. I guess you've also studied the divine potion, right?"

"Yes."

Cook Barn seemed to be testing him. He asked, "Then what did you find in the divine potion?"

"Worms."

"Worms... Yes, worms... the mechanism of the divine potion is the worm's body."

As he spoke, he controlled the wheelchair to stop.

He turned his head and faced Fang Heng.

In an instant, his face gradually became distorted.

The skin on his face was slowly squirming...

Under his wrinkled skin and muscles, Fang Heng could clearly see the worm's body squirming faintly.

Distorted and terrifying.

"Creak Creak Creak..."

The worm's body gradually disappeared from his face.

"I was once a member of the Dark Knights. During the process of researching the first-generation meteorite, I was infected by this worm."

"The worm invaded my brain and controlled my body. To prevent the worm's infection from spreading, I chose to self-destruct."

"I didn't expect to miraculously survive after that explosion."

"The strange thing is that the worm life in my body has gradually become quiet."

"I have reached a strange balance with the worm in my body. Sometimes, I can feel its thoughts."

Fang Heng frowned and asked, "What is it thinking?"

A twisted smile appeared on Cook Barn's face. "It offered me an irresistible deal."

Fang Heng looked at Cook Barn suspiciously.

He felt that Cook Barn's brain might have been controlled by the worms.

"You'll understand soon enough."

Cook Barn turned around and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.

"Believe me, we will all be witnesses of this new era, Fang Heng."

At the end of the passage, a large door opened in front.

Behind the door was a ring-shaped hall. In the centre of the hall stood a large mechanical facility.

More than a dozen researchers in blue clothes were pacing around the laboratory.

"What is this?"

"An Omega electromagnetic induction device. Through the special electromagnetic wave effect, we can track its whereabouts."

"It?"

Cook Barn did not answer. He continued pushing the wheelchair, facing a large screen on the wall.

The big screen showed the map of the Zombie Apocalypse in District 7.

On the map, there were two conspicuous red circles.

"Long before the Zombie Apocalypse, the Meteorite Company made twelve special boxes. After dividing them, they hid them in every corner of the world."

"The boxes were made of special metals. To find them, I built the Omega electromagnetic induction tower, which can search for the location of the secret boxes."

"The search range of the main electromagnetic induction tower is limited. To expand the search range, we need to set up sub-centres of the signal towers in every corner of the world, establish a connection with the main electromagnetic tower, and expand the search range to find the specific locations of the twelve special boxes."

"As you can see, currently, we can only find the location of two of the signal sources with the help of the main induction tower."

Fang Heng was puzzled and asked, "What's in the box?"

"It's something that can give us strength."

A ferocious smile appeared on Cook Barn's face. He warned, "Strength also means danger. After you find it, hand it over to me. Don't open it without permission, understand?"

"Okay."

Fang Heng agreed. He frowned and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

The box that the Meteorite Company hid?

What was in the box?

Why did Cook Barn say that it represented strength?

Since it represented strength, why did the Meteorite Company hide it?

Putting aside his doubts, Fang Heng looked up at the red circles marked on the map.

"Commander Cook, one of the boxes is near us?"

"Yes, I have found one of the boxes. There are eleven left. The nearest box is at that place. Be careful, there is the camp of the Dark Knights there."

[Hint: Player has completed the mission-Cook Barn's plan.]

[Hint: Player has triggered a special main storyline mission-Mysterious box.]

Mission name: Mysterious box.

Mission description: Cook Barn wishes for you to head to the location of the signal source and look for the mysterious box that was hidden by the Meteorite Company.

Mission description: This mission will have a great negative effect on the main storyline mission. Player, please make a careful choice.

Mission reward: Main storyline mission contribution points, Scavenger Army contribution points, special unknown reward.

Fang Heng quickly skimmed through the mission hint.

Since it was related to the main storyline mission, he had to think of a way to complete it.

"Okay, I understand. I will think of a way to get the box as soon as possible."

"Very good. Follow me. I have another good thing I want to share with you."

As he spoke, he continued to push the wheelchair and brought Fang Heng forward.

After leaving the hall, everyone went to the special laboratory in the sixth basement of the research institute.

"Commander Cook."

More than a dozen researchers bowed their heads and greeted him.

There were five large-scale cultivation pods in the laboratory.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and walked to one of the cultivation pods to check.

High-level creature cultivation pod!

Even his shelter in District 8 didn't have such a high-level cultivation pod.

If he could bring it back...

Fang Heng kept his eyes on the cultivation pod.

Each cultivation pod contained a zombie corpse.

"Fang Heng, our army has been under a lot of pressure recently. The biggest problem is our manpower. Your arrival has given me some new ideas."

"Ideas?"

"You already know how the divine potion works, so you should know the flaws of the divine potion."

Chapter 424: Stealing Home

"Humans have always been a very fragile life form."

"Ordinary human bodies cannot directly withstand the parasitism of high-level worms. They need a long time to adapt to the transformation of the parasites. During this period, they also need to constantly take the nutrient solution. The process is too long."

"But the zombie corpse is different. From a certain point of view, zombies are more adapted to worms than humans."

While speaking, Cook Barn turned his head and looked at the Tyrant form behind Fang Heng.

"The Tyrant, the product that was modified by the Meteorite Company, is compatible with strength and agility. Its design is full of beauty, isn't it?"

Fang Heng was stunned. "You want to let the Tyrant form and the worm body fuse together?"

"That's right. Recently, I've been thinking about the research on zombies and worm bodies."

"I know that in the past, the Meteorite Company also had a similar Nemesis plan, but they didn't know much about the research on worm bodies. I've improved on the foundation of the Nemesis."

Cook Barn looked at Fang Heng. "How is it? Do you want to try to let the zombie form you control fuse with it? Do you want to let your Tyrant form gain more strength?"

It could transform an evolved Tyrant!?

Fang Heng's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Can it be done?"

"Of course, you've done so much for the army recently. This is the reward that you deserve."

Cook Barn turned around again and faced the large-scale cultivation pod, "But currently, this research is still in progress. The configuration of the worm body and nutrient solution is extremely limited. We still lack one very important thing..."

Fang Heng frowned.

"As long as you can help me find the box, I can immediately perfect the modification. What do you think?"

A row of game hints flashed in front of Fang Heng's eyes.

[Hint: Player has discovered an evolution option for the zombie corpse Tyrant-unknown worm body modification upgrade.]

[Hint: After the modification is completed, the value of each attribute will be greatly increased, allowing the Tyrant form to have a stronger vitality and explosive power while retaining the original modification.]

[Hint: Current fusion success rate is 100%. The transformation will take 72 hours. You can reduce the transformation time by spending survival points.]

[Hint: Player's current mission: Mysterious box reward update. After completing the mission, you can obtain a special transformation opportunity for the transformation cultivation pod.]

Mission name: Unknown box.

Mission objective: Obtain more mysterious boxes and hand them over to Cook Barn.

Mission description: For every mysterious box submitted to Cook Barn, you will receive three chances to modify the unknown worm body. As the number of mysterious boxes submitted increases, the player will receive more modification opportunities.

Fang Heng took a deep breath.

Pretty cool!

It was a 100% success rate!

Fang Heng's heart was burning.

After completing the transformation, the Tyrant form would completely evolve into a Tier 4 life form!

After combining the Tyrant form vine parasite and the unknown worm body's three attribute characteristic skills, the Tyrant form's strength could compete with a normal Tier 5 mutated zombie!

"Fang Heng, find the box and I can help you complete the transformation of the Tyrant form. Do you understand?"

Fang Heng swallowed his saliva. He felt that he had another reason to work for the Scavenger Army.

"It's a deal!"

"As expected, I didn't make a misjudgement. Go ahead and do it, Fang Heng."

...

After finishing the deal with Cook Barn, Fang Heng seized the time to return to the South City district with Osborne.

Fang Heng opened the map and observed.

The coordinates of the mysterious box of the Meteorite Company were near a camp of the Dark Knights. If he went there directly, he might encounter trouble.

Fang Heng was well aware of the difficulty of the main storyline mission. He planned to make a plan after he returned.

However...

What exactly was in the box that Cook Barn was looking for?

It seemed that it had a great connection with the main storyline mission.

If he got the box, should he open it first and take a look?

Fang Heng was a little conflicted.

"Commander Cook admires you very much. He rarely talks to people for so long."

"He has good taste."

Fang Heng chatted with Osborne, trying to get some information out of him.

"By the way, do you know the box Commander Cook is looking for?"

"You mean the box hidden by the Meteorite Company. I do know something about it."

"Do you mind telling me?"

"I knew Cook earlier than anyone in the Scavenger Army."

"A long time ago, before the Scavenger Army was formed, Commander Cook and I went to the Meteorite Company's emergency shelter to search for clues."

Fang Heng was surprised and asked, "What did you say?"

"Before the zombie crisis broke out, the Meteorite Company had simulated the worldwide biochemical crisis. They had built seven large-scale shelters around the world to deal with the worst that could happen."

"Once there was a biochemical crisis that was beyond their control, the Meteorite Company would choose to immediately evacuate and enter the emergency shelter to survive."

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Cook Barn had investigated the Meteorite Company..."

Osborne looked at Fang Heng through the rearview mirror, his eyes flashing with mockery.

"Fang Heng, what do you think is the original intention of the Scavenger Army? To destroy this world? Or to become the new king of this apocalyptic world?"

"Isn't it? Or is it to save this world?"

"You're right."

Fang Heng was stunned, thinking that this reversal was a little fast.

Whether it was clearing the territory occupied by the player's shelter, or using the special worm found in the first-generation meteorite to develop a divine potion to control his subordinates, all the actions of the Scavenger Army followed the logic of a normal villain.

Why did Osborne say that the Scavenger Army still wanted to clear their name?

"Strange, since your goal is the same as the Dark Knights, why don't you cooperate with them?"

"You expect those hypocritical Dark Knights to cooperate with us? It's already good enough that they didn't slice us up and study us."

Osborne laughed lightly and sneered disdainfully.

He shook his head and continued, "At the beginning, Cook was worried that the worms in his body would go out of control and cause a riot again. He wanted to use his strength to solve the secret of the first-generation meteorite."

"No one is willing to believe us. We can only rely on ourselves."

As he said that, the light in Osborne's eyes gradually dimmed, "But after that time, Cook became a bit unfamiliar to me. He began to be impatient for quick success. He developed the divine potion and formed the Scavenger Army..."

"Boom!!!!"

Just as Osborne was speaking, Fang Heng heard a loud noise.

Then, under his feet, the big truck shook violently.

What was going on?

Was it an explosion?

Osborne slammed on the brakes.

"Squeak...!"

The big truck left a long skid mark on the ground.

Fang Heng frowned. He immediately poked his head out of the truck window and looked back in the direction of the explosion.

A cloud of thick black smoke rose from the mountains.

It was in the direction of the Scavenger Army headquarters!

Could the location of the explosion be in the army's headquarters?!

Was his hometown ambushed?

Fang Heng's heart was gripped in mid-air.

Just after he had obtained the Tyrant form's transformation plan for the next tier, his hometown was at risk of being stolen?

He had to pray that the Tyrant's improved cultivation pod in the eighth basement of the research institute would not be damaged by the explosion!

Osborne also stuck his head out of the window.

His expression also changed. He turned to look at Fang Heng. "Fang Heng."

"Quick! Don't just stand there, Hurry back and take a look!"

Osborne shut his mouth when he heard that. He immediately drove the truck and headed in the direction of the Scavenger Army headquarters.

Chapter 425: Be the Commander

In front of them, thick black smoke came out of the cave of Scavenger Army headquarters. The entire Scavenger Army was in a mess.

Osborne drove the truck into the cave.

When it reached the deep end, Fang Heng immediately jumped out of the truck.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Fang Heng, a Scavenger Army elite instantly reported, "Commander Fang, the headquarters is under an unknown attack! Commander Ni Shengtao is leading some people to investigate thoroughly!"

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly, and a feeling of extreme unease rose in his heart.

Something terrible was going to happen!

Could it be that Federation had made another move? In the past, Federation had used a similar tactic in District 5, and he was one of the executors back then.

At this moment, Fang Heng was most concerned about Tyrant form cultivation pod on the sixth underground floor. He hurriedly asked, "What about the laboratory on the sixth underground floor? Is it fine?"

The Scavenger Army elite was obviously stunned.

He then said, "The damage is still under investigation."

"Take me there for a look."

As Fang Heng spoke, he strode toward the inner part of the army base.

Just as they reached the entrance, Ni Shengtao rushed out of the passage with a group of Scavenger Army elites followed.

As he saw Fang Heng, Ni Shengtao's eyes narrowed.

"Commander Fang."

Ni Shengtao stopped and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Cook is dead."

Fang Heng's pupils constricted as he heard this news.

"Cook is dead?

Someone has snuck into my place?" he thought to himself.

The next second, a game notice appeared in front of Fang Heng.

"Hint: Commander of Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, is dead."

"Hint: Morale of Scavenger Army is reduced by 50%. All attributes of every member are reduced by 10%."

...

Outside Edge Creek Town.

Cheng Ya and the other two were carrying the log back to Scavenger Army's strongholds.

These few days, they had been doing high-intensity log-carrying jobs under Roche's orders every day.

Wei Chun's back ached from fatigue.

He had once thought that it was Fang Heng who played tricks on them.

However, their superiors ordered them to continue hiding in Scavenger Army to gather intelligence.

Just a few seconds ago, a series of sudden game hints made the three of them freeze on the spot.

They looked at each other.

What the h*ll? Commander Cook Barn was dead?

Federation had won? And Scavenger Army could be disbanded?

They could stop carrying the log?

A few seconds later, Cheng Ya was the first to come back to her senses. "You guys stay here. I'll go back and report now."

"Yes!"

At the headquarter of Federation District 7.

Kou Huai sat in front of his desk, his fingers constantly tapping on the desk.

Knock, knock!

After knocking on the door, a Federation soldier pushed the door open and entered.

"Commander, we've just received news that the assassination was successful. It's confirmed that Cook Barn is dead. An elite player has failed to escape during the mission and died."

"In addition, we've already collected a portion of the body tissues of Cook Barn and immediately submitted them to Dark Knights to complete the mission."

The overall situation was set!

Hearing this, Kou Huai slowly stood up and spat out a word.

"Good!"

Kou Huai looked at the soldier who reported, "Tell everyone that the members of Scavenger Army will be in a crazy state for some time. So we must defend at all costs these days!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

Scavenger Army headquarter.

The passage was silent.

Cook Barn was dead?

Osborne's mind was blank, and his face was ashen.

He had screwed up! It was all over!

He knew well that Cook Barn was the only one knowing how to concoct the divine potion in the entire Scavenger Army.

All the members who had taken the divine potion would die once they lost it!

Including him, 98% of the members of Scavenger Army had taken the divine potion.

What should he do? Was there any way to fix it?

With many thoughts in his mind, Osborne suddenly thought of something.

He suddenly turned his head and stared at Fang Heng at the side.

Fang Heng!!!

He was an extremely remarkable pharmacist.

He had once developed a modified warlord potion.

This meant that his ability in pharmaceutics had even surpassed cook Barn!

Right now, Fang Heng was the only person who could save all their lives.

Osborne slowly turned his head, looked at Ni Shengtao, and winked to ask for his opinion.

At this moment, Fang Heng also fell into silence.

A game hint flashed across his vision.

"Hint: Your mission to find the mysterious box has failed."

F*ck you! Federation!

Fang Heng clenched his fists tightly, cursing in his heart.

This was the second time he had experienced a failure of the mission in the game.

He had been defeated by Federation twice.

The main storyline he had painstakingly come into contact with was cut off by Federation again!

Fang Heng took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

Wait a minute.

Since Cook Barn had died, what would happen to Scavenger Army?

Disband right away?

"The contribution points I've been accumulating for such a long time will all be gone?

No!"

Fang Heng began to ponder. He should take advantage of the chaos after Cook's death to get more benefits while the group was leaderless.

At least, he had to think of a way to steal Tyrant form modification pod in the laboratory on the underground eighth floor.

In a short while, Fang Heng had already decided on his next action plan.

He would take advantage of the chaos to reap benefits.

Fang Heng had just raised his head and was about to say something when he noticed Ni Shengtao and Osborne quickly exchanging glances.

Then, the two of them stared at him with a decisive gaze.

What happened?

Fang Heng thought to himself, "Why are they looking at me like this?

Could it be that they had seen through my plan?"

Then, Ni Shengtao and Osborne seemed to have made a decision and nodded at the same time.

Osborne took a step forward and knelt down on one knee.

"Commander Fang Heng, we have no leader since Commander Cook has died. I propose that you become the new leader of Scavenger Army!"

What the h*ll?!

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.

What Osborne did also exceeded the expectations of all the other members of Scavenger army.

As the Scavenger Army NPCs were still in shock, Ni Shengtao walked to Osborne's side and half-knelt like him.

"Commander Fang Heng, Scavenger Army is about to be destroyed. I sincerely advise you to be our leader. I hope you can take the responsibility of leading Scavenger Army!"

Hearing that, the Scavenger Army elites also came back to their senses. They all knelt on one knee and said in unison, "Commander Fang Heng, please be our leader!"

Fang Heng widened his mouth.

Then, a line of information immediately appeared before his vision.

"Hint: Commander of Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, has died. Player Fang Heng's current honor level is 23 as Deputy Commander. It met the advancement requirements."

"Hint: Player's current reputation points in Scavenger army have met the advancement requirements."

"Hint: More than half of the NPCs at the commander level and above in Scavenger Army have reached trust level and above in friendship. It met the advancement requirements."

"Hint: Osborne and Ni Shengtao have both recommended you as the new leader of Scavenger Army. It met the advancement requirements."

"Hint: Dear player, you can now choose to take over the commander position of Scavenger Army. Do you agree?"

"Hint: If you do, you will trigger the subsequent related missions. If you refuse, you can receive the main storyline contribution points as the reward and Dark Knights' friendship."

"Hint: Your choice will affect the progress of the main storyline. Please choose carefully."

Chapter 426: Fictitious God of Apocalypse

What?!

Fang Heng's mind was in chaos for a moment.

"What's going on?

Cook Barn is dead, so I can take his place?" he said to himself.

The development of this matter was far beyond Fang Heng's original expectations.

Things had turned greatly delightful from greatly miserable.

Surprises just came to him suddenly.

"Perhaps Federation did me a big favor, right?" he thought.

Fang Heng suppressed the joy in his heart and checked his game log again.

Of course, he would choose to accept it!

The friendship of Dark Knights had already turned into hatred. Increasing it by a little would not change the situation at all! If he refused, Federation only needed to play little tricks to make him in huge disadvantage.

He would have a chance of survival only by joining Scavenger Army.

No, he would have many chances of survival.

Perhaps he would be able to find the main storyline soon!

Fang Heng immediately answered in his heart.

"Yes, I do."

"Hint: Cook Barn is dead. You have chosen to be the commander of Scavenger Army. Your current honor level of Scavenger Army has automatically advanced to Level 24. You're promoted as Acting Commander."

"Hint: You have triggered the main storyline ending mission (normal ending), Fictitious God of Apocalypse."

"Mission Description: Most members of Scavenger Army can be immune to the zombie virus. Although such an ability carries great risks, it may be the best way to coexist with the apocalypse. Please be fully in charge of Scavenger Army and allow it to occupy more than 85% of the territories in the world (District 7).

Mission Requirements: Lead your Scavenger Army to occupy 85% of the territories in the world and ensure the usage rate of divine potion be above 98%.

Mission Reward: The ending, Fictitious God of Apocalypse (Grade A), will be triggered after the mission is done. You can gain Mission reward and additional main storyline contribution points. After the ending mission is completed, players in District 7 will be ranked according to their main storyline contribution points. The player ranked first will obtain the ownership of District 7 in Zombie Apocalypse."

Main storyline ending!

The game hints that appeared made Fang Heng's heart beat fiercely.

After so much effort in a long time, he finally obtained the main storyline ending in such an unexpected way.

Fang Heng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He rechecked the game hints.

Wasn't it the end of the world?

The divine potion would cause humans to be infected with the unknown worm virus, so it meant everyone in the world would be infected with the worm virus?

According to the hint, there might be multiple endings of this game. Taking charge of Scavenger Army and dominating the entire apocalyptic world was just one of them.

The final reward for each ending would likely be different as well.

Thinking about it carefully, Fang Heng found it extremely difficult to complete the mission.

Scavenger Army had to occupy more than 85% of the world's territory.

That was difficult!

The divine potion would affect the real world, so Federation would definitely not allow Scavenger Army to easily occupy District 7 of the game world.

"Should we go head-on with Federation?"

Fang Heng roughly thought about it.

They might not lose.

If Tyrant form cultivation pod on the eighth floor underground was intact, he could endlessly cultivate the modified tyrant forms. So what if they fight Federation of District 7 head-on?

He wouldn't have to be afraid as long as Scavenger Army was strong enough.

Moreover, now that he was the leader of Scavenger Army, he might be able to think of a way to make a time passage stabilizer in District 7. By then, he could use the strength of District 8...

In a short while, Fang Heng had a general idea.

"Get up, everyone."

"Yes, sir!"

The Scavenger Army elites all stood up respectfully and retreated to the side.

"Since I have become the commander, I don't have to care about the mission of collecting boxes. I can go to the eighth floor underground and use Tyrant form modification pod, right?" he thought.

Fang Heng looked at Ni Shengtao at the side.

"Commander Ni, how's damage of our shelter? And where are the intruders?"

"We have confirmed that the intruders have retreated. They entered here in quite a particular way. And they planted explosives while leaving. The second and third floors underground of the headquarters are badly damaged.

In addition, the information room on the twelfth underground floor is also badly damaged. Our men are doing rush repairs right now.

We have already started analyzing the intrusion methods of the intruders."

Fang Heng continued to ask, "What about the eighth floor underground? Is there anything wrong with the laboratory on that level? Can the cultivation pod continue to run?"

Ni Shengtao was curious why Fang Heng was so concerned about the eighth underground level. He nodded and replied, "We haven't received any reports of attacks on the eighth underground level so far. The laboratory is under the charge of Dr. Ding Min. She should know the cultivation pod's condition the best."

"Go and confirm the situation on the eighth floor immediately. Where is Dr. Ding Min now?"

"She is making urgent repair on the equipment on the second floor undergound."

"Alright, ask her to come and meet me as soon as the repair is done. We'll go to the eighth floor together..."

Osborne and Ni Shengtao looked at each other, then Osborne took a small step forward.

"Excuse me, Commander Fang Heng. Before you go, I have something really important to report to you privately."

Fang Heng nodded and waved to his subordinates, "You guys go check the eighth floor now!"

"Yes, sir!"

After Scavenger Army elites all left, Fang Heng asked, "What's it about?"

"Commander Fang Heng, it's about the divine potion."

Osborne was worried and continued, "Only the former commander, Cook Barn, has the formula of the divine potion. There will be no source of supply for the potion since he's dead now."

Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that.

This was a big trouble.

He suddenly realized that the divine potion was the biggest crisis he needed to face now!

In essence, the divine potion was a liquid providing nutrients to the parasitic worms inside the Scavenger Army members' bodies.

If they hadn't taken the potion for some time, the parasitic worms in their bodies would become restless, and their bodies would suffer a backlash. After a period of time, both the worms and their bodies would fall into a berserk state until they die.

At that time, Scavenger Army would inevitably collapse.

Osborne's face was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Commander Fang Heng, I have given immediate orders to seal off the news of Mr. Cook's death. Currently, the remaining divine potion in the warehouse can only support us for three days at most. After that, our members will begin to have withdrawal symptoms if we can't develop a new potion."

"In order to maintain the stability of the team, I suggest that we announce the news of you becoming the new commander of Scavenger Army after we have completed the research and development of the divine potion."

"Alright, you are thoughtful."

Fang Heng nodded and smiled bitterly in his heart.

This was a really big trouble.

How could it be so easy to research and develop the divine potion?!

Due to the restriction of the worms in the divine potion, he was unable to deduce its formula even with his potionology skills.

Hold on!

Cook Barn should have left behind a lot of research materials. There might be clues to the divine potion.

"Commander Fang Heng, there's one more thing."

Chapter 427: Something Left by Cook

At this time, Ni Shengtao looked at Fang Heng and said, "About three years ago, Mr. Cook told me that he wanted the new army commander to go to his secret storage room if he died by accident. He had something left there for you."

"Something left for me?"

Fang Heng was surprised.

Then, a row of game hints appeared in front of his eyes.

"Hint: Dear player, you have triggered a mission, Scavenger Army's crisis."

"Name of Mission: Scavenger Army's crisis.

Difficulty Level of Mission: SS.

Mission Description: The former commander of Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, suddenly died. You have taken over the position of the commander of Scavenger Army. However, you are still facing an unprecedented crisis.

Mission Requirements 1: Please finish the research and development of the divine potion within 3 days. If you fail this mission, the morale points of Scavenger Army will continuously drop significantly.

Mission Requirements 2: Please follow Ni Shengtao into the secret storage room within 1 day to search for the item left behind by Cook Barn. If it's not done, you will fail this mission.

Mission Requirements 3: Please keep the morale points of Scavenger Army constantly above 20 (the highest will be 200). Once it goes below 40, there will be a defection of your team members. If it's below 20 for more than an hour, the default result will be mission failure (current morale points: 120).

Mission Reward: You will become the official leader of Scavenger Army and obtain the authority to command all the regions of Scavenger Army.

Penalty for Failure: Scavenger Army will be disbanded. All your Scavenger Army contribution points will be cleared, and your survival points will also be deducted.

Fang Heng carefully checked the mission requirements.

In short, the mission's most troublesome part was finding a way to make the divine potion.

Perhaps there were some clues about making the potion in the items left behind by Cook Barn?

Ni Shengtao and Osborne both looked at Fang Heng.

Now, Fang Heng had become their hope of survival.

Fang Heng took a deep breath and said, "I see. Take me there now. I'll find out what Commander Cook has left for me."

...

Tenth floor underground.

Outside the secret storage room of the research institute.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne's expressions were highly solemn. They stood behind Fang Heng, their eyes flashing with deep fear.

Fang Heng was puzzled by their strange reaction.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you feel it, Commander Fang Heng?"

Fang Heng didn't feel anything. He asked with confusion, "Feel what? What do you mean?"

"It's..." Ni Shengtao glanced at Osborne and said, "It's a sort of fear that comes from the heart."

Fang Heng looked at Osborne. "Do you have this feeling too?"

Osborne nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Commander."

Fang Heng asked, "What's in the room?"

"There should be a box. The former commander, Mr. Cook, said he hoped the new commander could get the stuff in the box after taking over the army. It is something significant to the entire Scavenger Army."

"Okay, I see. Now open the door."

Ni Shengtao carefully stepped forward and opened the door of the secret storage room with the backup magnetic card.

Fang Heng pushed the door open.

With the primary night vision ability of Vampire Bloodline, Fang Heng observed that the storage room was very empty inside.

There was only a wooden table in the middle of the room.

And there seemed to be a box on the table, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Aren't you coming in?"

"Mr. Cook told us that only you can enter the room."

"Cook is dead, and his orders are invalid now. Come with me."

As Fang Heng spoke, he stepped into the room.

"Okay."

Ni Shengtao and Osborne looked at each other.

They had an instinctive fear of this door.

Suppressing the fear in their hearts, the two of them slowly stepped into the room.

They could not get too close because their fear was too intense. So, Ni Shengtao and Osborne just stood at the room's entrance.

The six tyrant forms followed Fang Heng into the room and stood behind him.

A humming sound came.

The automatic induction door closed again, and the lights in the room lit up.

Fang Heng slowly walked to the wooden table in the middle of the room.

There was a wooden box on it.

"This is it?"

Fang Heng reached out his hand and touched the wooden box.

"Hint: You have found an unknown wooden box."

"Item: An unknown wooden box.

Description: It's an unknown wooden box which looks ordinary.

Description (triggered by the perception attribute of over 30 points): You feel that there might be something dangerous in this wooden box.

Description (triggered by the skill of basic occult Level 7): You feel that there is a strong movement of life energy in the wooden box.

Something dangerous?

Strong life energy?

Fang Heng was on high alert.

Something was wrong!

In the past, his occult skill described even the first-generation meteorites as just an ordinary natural and weak energy.

But there was a powerful energy in this wooden box?

Swoosh!

Fang Heng retracted his hand.

Then, the box shook slightly in front of Fang Heng.

Danger!

Fang Heng suddenly had a bad feeling.

His danger perception skill had been activated.

Fang Heng had not activated this skill for a long time. He quickly reacted and retreated fast.

"Be careful!"

Ni Shengtao also shouted.

In the next moment, the box exploded in front of Fang Heng.

"Buzz..."

The moment the box exploded, Fang Heng heard a buzzing sound in his mind, and his head hurt!

"Hint: You have suffered an unknown spiritual attack."

Ni Shengtao and Osborne were in a worse state. They had completely lost the ability to control their bodies, freezing on the spot simultaneously.

"Buzz, buzz..."

As the box broke open, dozens of tiny dark purple bugs sprang out from the box and rushed to Fang Heng.

However, their abilities were limited. They flew in midair for less than half a meter before landing on the ground.

This was a spiritual attack!

"What should I do?!"

Fang Heng's head hurt badly. He could not concentrate on controlling the tyrant forms at all.

He gritted his teeth, and his body was almost out of control. His knees went weak, and he half kneeled on the ground.

Fang Heng watched helplessly as the tiny purple bugs slowly spread toward him!

Soon, Fang Heng flipped his wrist.

Vampiric Spirit Cane!

Using his last bit of strength, Fang Heng smashed his Vampiric Spirit Cane onto the ground.

Meanwhile, he cast the silence spell.

Faint red ripples spread out rapidly from Vampiric Spirit Cane.

It was silence skill, the special skill attached to Vampiric Spirit Cane.

By consuming the owner's mental strength, it could make all creatures within range unable to use their skills, speak, or use their backpack. This status required continuous spellcasting posture and could last up to 5 seconds.

The hissing sound in Fang Heng's mind disappeared as soon as the silence skill was activated.

He returned to the clear-headed state.

The purple bugs crawling toward him on the ground were also in the range of the silence skill.

They paused for a moment.

The six tyrant forms immediately received Fang Heng's order and rushed forward, raising their fists to smash at the bugs on the ground.

"Be quick! We have only five seconds! Finish them off!"

Fang Heng shouted.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne had also recovered and regained control of their bodies.

Hearing that, the two of them charged forward with all their might. They took out their shotguns from their backs and aimed at the purple bugs on the ground, pulling the trigger.

"Boom, boom!"

At close range, the shotgun's power was unleashed to the maximum.

The twisted and struggling bugs on the ground were blasted into pieces.
