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 428: Cook Barn's Notes

"Hint: Your team members have killed an unknown lifeform. You have obtained 6,892 survival points. "

"Hint: Your team members have killed an unknown lifeform. You have obtained 30 main storyline contribution points. "

"Hint: player has completed the mission 'Scavenger Army Crisis (mission requirements 2) : search for Cook Barn's remnants. "

After five seconds, the light of the silent domain dissipated.

Phew...

Fang Heng gasped for air.

He was careless.

Who would have expected that it was actually a trap?

Moreover, the worm actually had the ability to use spiritual attacks!

Cook Barn actually wanted to trick him even after his death!

Fang Heng's face was gloomy as he turned around to look at Ni Shengtao and Osborne.

Both of them were still in fear. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat, and their faces were pale.

Ni Shengtao put away his shotgun. "Commander Fang Heng, are you okay? "

"Yes, I'm fine... What is that thing? Do you know? "

"I'm not sure. This room is very secretive. Mr. Cook never allows outsiders to come near. Other than me and a few trusted aides, no one else knows about the existence of this place. "

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

Did Cook Barn want to use this worm body to control the next leader of the Scavenger Army?

However, Cook Barn did not calculate that after his death, the next commander had not ever drunk the divine potion, so the worm body's spiritual attack on him was not as strong as on Ni Shengtao and Osborne.

"Apart from the box, did Cook Barn leave anything behind? For example, a place to store research or confidential information? "

"The data room is on the 12th basement. When we were attacked by the intruders just now, the data room was still under repair... Ah! That's right! " Ni Shengtao suddenly thought of something. "Mr. Cook often stays here alone for an entire night. Sometimes, he brings in and out some things. It's very mysterious. I was wondering if there's a special secret passage in this room. "

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

"Do you have a blueprint of the research institute's interior? "

"Yes. "

Ni Shengtao took out the internal blueprint that he carried with him and handed it over.

Fang Heng analyzed the blueprint and noticed a small problem with the structure of the building. There might be a hidden room.

Fang Heng slowly walked to the left wall.

Raising his head, Fang Heng clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it against the wall.

Bang!

There it was!

The vibration coming from the wall told Fang Heng that there was something else behind the wall!

Six Tyrant forms strode forward, raised their huge fists, and fiercely smashed them against the wall.

Bang! Bang, bang!

Not long after, a huge crack appeared on the stone wall.

"Do you sense any danger? " Fang Heng turned to look at Ni Shengtao and Osborne.

The two shook their heads. "I don't sense anything. "

"Let's go in and check it out. "

...

"Hint: you've discovered the secret research room of Cook Barn. "

"Hint: you've obtained 20 main storyline contribution points. "

Fang Heng entered the secret room through the opening.

The automatic sensor light in the room lit up.

"Secret research room... related to the main storyline, " Fang Heng whispered and looked around the research room.

There were rows of bookshelves lined up on the left side of the wall of the research room and a large-sized cultivation pod on the right side.

The cultivation pod was in operation and connected to the experimental table on the other side.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne carefully raised their shotguns and followed Fang Heng into the room.

Just then, Osborne noticed something. His eyelids twitched and he pointed to a metal box placed on the table not far away. "Fang Heng, look at that. It's that box I told you about before, the one I found in the Meteorite Company's emergency shelter. "

Hearing that, Fang Heng immediately looked in the direction Osborne pointed.

The moment he saw the metal box, Fang Heng's pupils constricted.

The outer layer of the metal box was clearly marked with Meteorite Company's logo!

This time, Fang Heng was careful. He did not walk forward directly. Instead, he controlled the Tyrants to walk forward and pick up the metal box on the table.

The box was not locked.

There seemed to be some damage on the outside.

"It's empty? " thought Fang Heng. He walked up and checked the empty box while asking, "Where's the item inside? "

Osborne walked up and shook his head as well. "Commander Cook and I found some information related to the first-generation meteorite research in Meteorite Company's secret shelter. After that, we searched the ruins for a long time before we found the box. "

He continued, "To be safe, we didn't open the box immediately. When we returned to the temporary shelter, Commander Cook personally studied the box. I don't know what was in the box. "

Fang Heng put down the box and looked around again.

Could the bookshelves... " he mused.

There was a row of bookshelves on the right side of the room, and in games, books often meant clues.

Fang Heng walked to the bookshelf and picked up a book.

"Hint: you have obtained research notes (November) "

Book: Cook Barn's research notes (November) .

Reading requirement: 11 Intellligence, 6 Will.

Description: after reading, you will be able to obtain some experience points related to potion making. There is a very small probability of mastering the skill.

Description (triggered by the mission 'Scavenger Army Crisis : the book has records of Cook Barn's research material. It may contain the formula of the divine potion's formula. After reading it, the success rate of developing the divine potion will be increased.

"Great stuff! These books are materials of Cook Barn's recent research on worm bodies and potions, and there's a whole row of them! " Fang Heng mused as he put the books into his backpack one by one.

When the zombies came back, he would let them read all of them! Then, he might be able to develop the divine potion!

"Eh? " At the bottom of the bookshelf, Fang Heng discovered an extremely old book covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Hint: you have obtained Cook Barn's notebook. "

Fang Heng's heart stirred. He immediately opened the notebook and flipped through it.

Other than mostly denoting most of the research notes and research insights, the notebook contained diary entries.

October 12th's entry read: "This is the 475th day of my battle with it. I realized that I've already reached a certain balance with it. It can no longer control my will, and I could no longer chase them out of my body. The benefits are obvious. Every aspect of my body has improved dramatically, and I'm even immune to the zombie virus. Maybe this is a way to immunize against the zombie virus? If I could study it further... It's impossible. The Dark Knights think I'm a monster. Since they won't accept me, I'll find the answer in my own way. "

January 28th's diary entry read: "Yesterday, I lost control again. The worm body inside me was still trying to eat away at my body. I felt like it was craving something. I will continue resisting it anyway. "

Chapter 429: Hidden Ending

February 23rd's diary entry read: "Over the course of a long day, I formed a team with a group of like-minded friends. The friends proposed our team's name to be the Scavenger Army. The worm body's thirst grew stronger and stronger, but my research on the worm body is at a standstill. "

March 29th's diary entry read: "The connection to the worm body's growing stronger and stronger, and I can clearly sense that the worm body inside me is calling me to a place. What exactly is there? Perhaps the answer? "

June 5th's diary entry read: "I finally found it! Apparently, this was once the territory of Meteorite Company! It was originally a shelter designed and set up by the company to prepare for a global zombie disaster in advance! The connection came from inside the shelter! "

June 8th's diary entry read: "Meteorite Company's shelter has long been occupied by the zombies. When we checked the periphery, we found that the shelter was badly damaged by some sort of violent explosion. Although it's very dangerous, we plan to sneak in tomorrow. "

June 10th's diary entry read: "It took a long time, but I finally found the source of the connection! I never thought that it came from a metal box! Perhaps it was due to the impact of the explosion, but the outer layer of the metal box was damaged. What's inside? I have a feeling it's like Pandora's Box. Once it's opened... "

June 12th's diary entry read: "Inside the shelter of Meteorite Company, I found the remnants of the research room. From inside, I recovered some confidential information. A long time ago, Meteorite Company halted a certain experiment, codename Hila. I wonder what the experiment was about. In the only records, Hila was interrupted because of some external factors. After that, Meteorite Company blocked almost all the related information about the experiment. Meteorite Company even put the related experimental product leftovers of Hila into 12 special metal boxes, and through their authority, they hid the metal boxes in every corner of the world. That's right! The box I found is probably the box of Hila. But the strange thing is, why didn't Meteorite Company choose to destroy the experimental products instead of storing them in such a strange way? Why did they go through so much trouble and hide the products in 12 corners of the world? Was it really necessary to do so? I don't know. "

July 15th's diary entry read: "It's been over a month. After returning to the shelter, I've done a lot of research on the metal box. Due to the big explosion at Meteorite Company's shelter, the outer layer of the metal box is greatly damaged. Maybe that's why the worm body in my body can feel its presence. I can't research any further without completely opening the metal box. It's time to make a decision. I'm opening it! "

July 16th's diary entry read: "I've been out cold for a full day! I'm pretty sure that I've been infected by the special worm body in the box! I did a quick check, and there didn't seem to be any symptoms other than being out cold. Okay, let me try to sort my thoughts. There's some wriggling flesh complex in the box. When I tried to test it, I found worms in the tissue. I think I was infected by the worm body then and passed out... I just finished the test and confirmed that the tissue is a human tissue sample. The scary thing is, it's still alive! Those worm bodies have a terrifying will to live! The tissue is more like a host for the worm bodies! I understand now. It's not that Meteorite Company didn't want to destroy the Hila experimental tissue sample, but they simply couldn't do it! What the hell is Meteorite Company doing! I need to do a detailed check, including the tissue sample, the worm bodies, and myself... "

May 17th's diary entry read: "Dawn is coming. Let's welcome the new world together. This world, together with me... "

...

The contents of the notebook came to an abrupt end there.

Fang Heng closed the book and lowered his head in silence, pondering, "Box, Hila experiment, and the mysterious worm body. So... According to the contents of the notebook, Cook Barn was only completely controlled by the worm body after he was infected by the parasitic worm body, huh? He was only able to develop the divine potion after he was controlled by the worm body. It seems like all of Cook Barn's previous guesses were off the mark... "

Fang Heng had a vague feeling that he had caught onto something.

He found that the entire Zombie Apocalypse game story had a rough outline and tried to reconstruct the story.

Fang Heng tried to reconstruct the story.

"At the very beginning, Meng City experienced a meteorite crash, and the researchers discovered the special ability of the first-generation meteorite. After that, the first-generation meteorite was purchased by a large corporation, and Meteorite Company was founded. During one of the experiments of the research team on the first-generation meteorite named Hila, Meteorite Company must have discovered an unknown worm body. Perhaps the scale of the Hila experiment exceeded Meteorite Company's expectations, or there might have been some accident. Therefore, Meteorite Company terminated the Hila project and divided the tissue samples of Hila into 12 parts, hiding them in every corner of the world. After that, Meteorite Company used another method to study the first-generation meteorite and developed the first-generation virus. Subsequently, the zombie apocalypse broke out. The Dark Knights and Cook Barn were accidentally infected with the worm virus through the first-generation meteorite. Sensing the existence of Hila's tissue, Cook Barn searched for the secret of the worm body. However, he was unfortunately infected by the worm body inside Hila's tissue and was completely controlled by the worm body? " Fang Heng frowned and scratched his hair. "So, the rational guess is that the life form sample of Hila is the 'final boss? ' But... What exactly is the Hila experiment? "

"Hint: player has obtained the notebook left by Cook Barn. Player has obtained important information on the Hila experiment. Player has obtained 12,000 main storyline contribution points. "

"Hint: player's main storyline contribution points ranking in District 7 has increased to 4th place. "

"Hint: player has triggered the main storyline 'the Hila experiment. ' "

Mission name: the Hila experiment.

Mission description: You have learned about the Hila experiment from the notebook left behind by Cook Barn.

Mission requirement: please look for more information about the Hila experiment.

Mission reward: main storyline contribution points, access to S-level hidden ending.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He thought, "Unlocking a hidden ending? Damn it, I knew there was more than one game ending! Seems like the game ending triggered by the Hila experiment is relatively more hidden. An S-level ending's reward should be better. "

Osborne looked eagerly at the notebook in Fang Heng's hand.

Now, all their lives were in Fang Heng's hands.

"Commander Fang, do you have any clues? "

"Yeah, I found some clues. " Fang Heng temporarily stopped thinking and handed over the notebook in his hand. "You guys take a look too. If you think of any clues, you can tell me. "

While Osborne and Ni Shengtao were studying the notebook, Fang Heng walked to the most eye-catching item in the room, the cultivation pod.

"Huh? " Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

A piece of flesh was floating amid a yellow liquid in the cultivation pod.

Chapter 430: The Hila Experiment

"Hint: you have discovered Hila's living tissue. "

Item: Hila living tissue.

Description: an extremely dangerous living tissue that can not be brought into the backpack.

"So the Hila living tissue in the box was here! " Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the flesh inside the cultivation pod.

Tiny worm bodies were growing inside the flesh.

"And this is... ? " Fang Heng thought as he continued to observe.

The entire cultivation pod was connected to a large catheter. After dozens of processes, the catheter was finally connected to the test bench at the side.

Drops of liquid were passing through the catheter and finally dripping into the flask below.

Half of the turbid liquid had already accumulated in the flask.

Fang Heng held the flask in his hand and observed it.

"Hint: player has discovered an unknown liquid. "

"Hint: player's current intermediate potion making level is level 16, and player's current potionology level is level 5. Lack of relevant information. Overall criteria is not met. Unable to obtain information related to the liquid. "

"Hint: player can spend 1,000 survival points to carry out occult analysis. Try to obtain more clues and information. "

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Proceed with the analysis. "

The bottle containing the turbid liquid was wrapped by a gentle strength and floated in mid-air.

Bang!

The bottle exploded.

A line of game hint appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

"Hint: player has completed occult analysis. Combining player's potionology skill, intermediate potion making skill, and information related to the Hila experiment, it has been determined that the liquid is the original liquid of the unknown worm body. "

"Original liquid of worm body! " Almost instantly, Fang Heng came to a realization. "Cook Barn developed the divine potion after discovering the Hila living tissue! No wonder the supply of divine potions has always been extremely limited! It turns out that the original fluid needed to make the divine potion relies on this type of Hila tissue for worm body culture... So now that I have the mixture, I should theoretically be able to make the divine potion! "

He continued musing, "After the ordinary zombies come back, I'll read through the books in the room. Then, I'll probably be able to complete the first mission requirements of controlling the Scavenger Army, and it won't be a problem for me to obtain the command authority of the entire Scavenger Army! As for the next step... If I want to trigger a more hidden ending, I'll need to gather information related to the Hila experiment... I might have to start with the 12 boxes of Meteorite Company. Cook Barn's already built the electromagnetic tower needed to locate the boxes. Now, I'll just need to focus on the Federation. "

Fang Heng then thought, "While I think of ways to increase the strength of the Scavenger Army and deal with the territory occupied by the Federation, I'll search for information related to the Hila experiment. I'll have to act quickly! "

Thereafter, he stated, "Tidy up an empty laboratory for me. I need to start developing the divine potion immediately. "

Osborne cupped his fists in excitement. "Yes! We'll go and prepare immediately! "

"Okay. I need a bigger one. " Fang Heng thought for a moment and added, "The bigger the better. "

...

Ni Shengtao's mind was on the divine potion. After finishing the maintenance of the research base, he immediately gathered more than a dozen potioneers and returned to the fifth basement of the army headquarters.

Then, he saw many Scavenger Army elites crowding in the passage, moving large boxes back and forth to the large-sized laboratory.

Ni Shengtao was a little confused for a moment.

"Be careful with the two boxes over there. It's filled with liquid! Be careful to handle it lightly! " Osborne was at the side, directing the handling.

Ni Shengtao walked forward and asked, "What's the situation? Why are there so many boxes? "

"They were requested by Commander Fang Heng. Other than the information found in the secret research room, the boxes also include the file reports and research materials that were sorted out from the 12th basement data room. He wants to look through all of them. "

Ni Shengtao gulped.

Originally, seeing that there were several bookshelves of information hidden in the secret research room, Ni Shengtao thought that Fang Heng alone could not read through them and gathered all the potioneers in the headquarters to help out. He had hoped to at least be of some help and speed up the progress of research and development.

But now, with so much information at hand, not to mention more than over a dozen people, even more than 100 people wouldn't be able to read them all.

"With so many books, can the commander really finish reading all of them? "

"Not just that. " Osborne shrugged. "There are also medicinal ingredients. The commander asked us to move a lot of medicinal ingredients into the laboratory. He said that we need to carry out experimental research when the time comes. "

Ni Shengtao smiled bitterly. "Seriously? So much? "

He finally understood why Fang Heng needed such a large research room. An ordinary small research room really couldn't fit so many books and medicinal ingredients.

"Commander Fang Heng naturally has his reasons. " Osborne had some confidence in Fang Heng. He had personally witnessed Fang Heng's feat of refining thousands of bottles of potions in one night. "Most of the things have been prepared. I'll go and report to the commander. "

Ni Shengtao sighed in his heart and followed him. "I'll go with you. I've gathered all the potioneers from the headquarters. I hope they can be of help. "

In the laboratory, Fang Heng was sitting in a corner of the room. He had just finished reading a book.

It took too much time for ordinary zombie clones to go all the way there. They might as well self-destruct on the spot and wait for more than six hours before being resurrected.

Taking advantage of the time when the zombie clones were being resurrected, Fang Heng casually took out a book that he had found in the secret room of Cook Barn and started reading it.

"Hint: player has completed the reading of Cook Barn's notebook (13) . "

"Hint: player can now choose to carry out the research and development of the divine potion formula. Player's current skills of potionology and intermediate potion making have been combined. Player's current success rate of the divine potion research and development has increased by 0.3% . Current success rate of the research and development of the divine potion formula: 5.3% . "

"Hint: when the success rate of research and development reaches 100% , player can directly obtain the divine potion formula. Player can increase the success rate of potion research and development through manual experiments using medicinal ingredients. If the experiment is successful, player can directly obtain the divine potion formula. "

At only 5.3% , the success rate was too low.

Fang Heng put the book in his hand aside and glanced at the game time.

There were only ten minutes left before the zombie clones could be resurrected.

When the time came, he would have the zombie clones make a surprise attack before the exam and read all the boxes of books. Then, he would pile up the success rate!

There was no need to conduct manual experiments at all.

It would be too much of a waste of the original fluid of worm body generated by the Hila tissue.

"Commander Fang Heng. "

Fang Heng was interrupted in his thoughts and raised his head.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne led more than ten potioneers into the room. "All the potioneers from the headquarters are here. In addition, the medicinal ingredients you need have been prepared. "

"Oh? What? Potioneers? "

Fang Heng was puzzled for a moment. He glanced at the potioneers behind Ni Shengtao.

"I asked them to come here. I thought they could be of help in organizing the information and the research of the divine potion... "

"No need. " Fang Heng waved his hand. "Have them go back and rest well. Leave the rest to me. "

Ni Shengtao was stunned. "You really don't need them to help? "

"Yeah, it's okay. " Fang Heng stood up as he spoke and pushed Ni Shengtao and the others outside.

"But, Commander Fang Heng... "

"All right, I got it. I need to concentrate on the research of the divine potion. Don't disturb me if there's nothing else. "

Bang!

Chapter 431: Intense Reading

The laboratory's door was slammed shut.

Outside the door, Osborne and Ni Shengtao looked at each other confusedly, thinking in unison, "What's going on? The commander doesn't need anyone's help? Commander Cook didn't seem to be like this when he was researching potions in the past. "

Extremely puzzled, Ni Shengtao asked, "Has Commander Fang Heng always done potion research like this? "

Osborne recalled for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Huh? " Ni Shengtao responded.

Osborne didn't know how to explain. He just nodded and said, "Wait patiently. "

The matter was very important. The two of them didn't have the intention to leave. They just stood guard at the door, worried, waiting for Fang Heng's new orders at any time.

In the room, Fang Heng waited quietly.

Ten minutes later, rays of one alchemy magic array after another appeared on the hall's floor.

One by one, gray arms extended from the magic arrays, and the zombie clones struggled to crawl out.

They accepted Fang Heng's orders and stood up shakily to the side of the laboratory, then lined up to take out books from the boxes.

Each zombie clone had a book in their hands. They found an empty space in the laboratory and sat down. Long channeling bars popped out of their heads as they started reading.

The skill "Efficient reading" was triggered. Given their unlimited Vitality, the zombie clones' reading efficiency increased exponentially!

Fang Heng took out a bag of Oreos as well as a bottle of yogurt from his backpack and waited silently.

"Haa! " Fang Heng let out a long sigh.

Learning was actually very easy.

Half an hour later, a hint appeared in the game log.

"Hint: your zombie clone has completed reading the summary of February's research on the unknown worm body. Success rate of divine potion research has increased by 0.17% . Current success rate is 5.47% .

Three hours later, Fang Heng watched as the success rate of the divine potion research gradually increase to 100% .

"Hint: your zombie clone has completed reading the researcher's daily report. Success rate of divine potion research has increased by by 0.04% .

"Hint: your success rate of divine potion research has reached 100% . You have obtained the divine potion formula. "

"Hint: your potionology skill experience points have increased by 21. "

Phew!

It was done!

Fang Heng stretched his body and opened the game log. He looked at the materials needed for the divine potion and began to ponder, "If the warlord potion can be improved, then the divine potion can also be improved... "

After all, he would have to fight the Federation head-on.

At the current stage, the strength of the Scavenger Army was not enough.

It would be better if it could be improved even a little bit.

Thinking of that, Fang Heng dropped a sleeping bag on the ground and went offline.

...

"God! The Scavenger Army collapsed? The Federation are f*cking bullies! They killed the boss of the Scavenger Army from the get-go? How unreasonable! God! " Mo Jiawei had just learned the news of Cook Barn's death from his friend not long ago. He was anxious and immediately found Fang Heng to discuss countermeasures.

In the study, Fang Heng was studying potions.

He had long heard Mo Jiawei's shouts coming from the back garden and had no choice but to get up and leave the study.

"God, I was looking for you. "

Shh.

Fang Heng made a soft hand gesture to Mo Jiawei who had hurried over.

Mo Jiawei was stunned. "What? "

"Xiao Ruoruo is analyzing potions in the study. Keep your voice down and don't disturb her. "

Mo Jiawei blinked his eyes and lowered his voice. "No, I mean, what's the situation, God? The Scavenger Army has collapsed, and you guys are still studying potions? "

"Old Mr. Mo, isn't your information a little outdated? " Fang Heng pointed at himself and said seriously, "I'm officially introducing myself to you. I'm Fang Heng, the commander of the Scavenger Army of District 7. "

"Huh? Commander? " Mo Jiawei was stunned again, but he immediately reacted. "God, you mean you became the boss of the Scavenger Army? Wait, didn't you say you were going to be a mole? "

Ahem.

Fang Heng coughed lightly. "You know, the Dark Knights were bewitched by the Federation and suspected me of jumping ship. In addition, my reputation in the Scavenger Army is still very high, and I am highly regarded by my colleagues. I was unanimously recommended by everyone, so... "

"So you jumped ship? "

Fang Heng corrected him, "It's not jumping ship. It's commanding the Scavenger Army. "

"Ah, uh... Okay. " Mo Jiawei did not know how to retort for a moment.

He quickly thought of something and clapped his hands excitedly. "I get it. That's why you are in a hurry to develop the divine potion! Now, there are rumors outside that with the death of Commander Cook Barn, the entire Scavenger Army will fall into a berserk state for a period of time. I guess the Scavenger Army's showing withdrawal symptoms from losing their divine potion supply, right? "

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, you guessed right. Only by developing the divine potion can I truly control the Scavenger Army. "

"Then what's the situation now? There must be a way to develop the divine potion, right? " asked Mo Jiawei.

"Developing the divine potion is not a big problem. We have already entered the optimization stage. Oh right, don't leak this news for the time being. "

"Really? It's completed so quickly? ! " Mo Jiawei's eyes lit up when he heard that, and his mood surged!

Amazing!

God was indeed a god. He had completed the divine potion in such a short period of time.

That meant that the Scavenger Army would most likely stabilize and that Fang Heng was most likely guaranteed to secure his position as the commander of the Scavenger Army in District 7.

"Those idiots from the Federation. They killed Cook Barn and ended up helping Fang Heng to be the boss. God will be officially promoted as their commander! " thought Mo Jiawei.

He then asked, "God, then should we control the Scavengers Army and start a head-on war with the Federation? "

As Mo Jiawei spoke, he became more and more excited, "Awesome! To be honest, I've long been unhappy with the Federation of District 7! In the past, we secretly controlled them, but now, we're going to officially fight it out with the Federation! "

"Yeah, it's most likely going to be a fight. " Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

He came from another world, so he didn't have much respect for the local forces of the Federation.

However, there was still a clear gap in strength between the two sides at the moment, and the Scavenger Army of District 7 was still at a huge disadvantage.

To change the situation, developing the modified divine potion was only the first step.

"But... " After the initial excitement, Mo Jiawei was a little worried. He mused, "It's the Federation we're talking about. North River Heavy Industry is considered pretty influential in this area, but in the past few years, we've been restricted by the Federation in all aspects. The implications of starting a fight with the Federation are too large. I want to recklessly fight the Federation with Fang Heng, but North River Heavy Industry's fate is in my hands... "

Mo Jiawei then asked, "But Fang Heng... W-What if the Federation plays dirty? "

He had to consider the worst case scenario.

"We used to go against the Federation behind the scenes. Now that you've become the commander of the Scavenger Army, the Federation will definitely find trouble with you when the time comes. What if they slander you and label you as part of the anti-federation forces? What if you're wanted by the whole world? "

Once he was deemed related to the anti-federation forces, Fang Heng would become a wanted criminal in the real world.

At that time, the Federation's Investigation Team would not be the only ones who would look for him.

Chapter 432: I Was Kidnapped

"What's there to be afraid of? Just charge ahead. At worst, I'll just hide in the game. " Fang Heng snorted in disdain, "If they have the ability, then the Federation can come and kill me in the game. "

Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng, and his heart surged with excitement. "All right! A real man should just charge ahead! F*ck the Federation! "

Fang Heng chuckled as he said, "Oh right, go to the Federation and report that I suddenly disappeared last night and haven't been found for more than 24 hours. Tell them that you suspect I might have been taken away by the Night Owl organization. "

"Huh? What? " Mo Jiawei's heart was surging with excitement, but when he heard that, he was stunned again. He looked at Fang Heng with a dumbfounded expression.

"Stupid, we're all adults now. We only became strong in District 7, not the other districts. We have to leave ourselves a way out. Whether the Federation believes it or not, we can use the excuse to our advantage in the future if necessary. "

Fang Heng continued, "In short, during this period of time, I'll hide in the game. When the time comes, I'll just blame it on Night Owl. Just say that I was forced by Night Owl to fight with the Federation in District 7... "

"This... " Mo Jiawei thought carefully, "Dang! God always has his ways with playing dirty. Being kidnapped by the Night Owl organization is a great excuse! "

"How is it? Have you thought it through? " asked Fang Heng.

Mo Jiawei nodded repeatedly. "I understand the logic, but God, why do you look more and more like a big villain now? "

Fang Heng silently rolled his eyes. "Get lost! "

"Fine, I'll make the report right now... "

"Wait. " Fang Heng reached out to stop Mo Jiawei and said solemnly, "What's the situation outside in District 7 now? "

"The players in District 7 all think that the Scavenger Army is going to be finished soon. Every player guild is afraid of being targeted by the crazy Scavenger Army. Even the Federation has entered a state of martial law and has concentrated their defenses. There's no other news. "

"Concentrated their defenses? " thought Fang Heng as his heart skipped a beat.

...

It was early the next morning.

Osborne and Ni Shengtao were still guarding the laboratory's entrance, sleeplessly.

Now, all their hopes of survival were placed on Fang Heng!

If the divine potion research and development could not be completed, the entire Scavenger Army would definitely collapse.

They were about to run out of time. There were still two days left.

Click.

A gap opened in the laboratory's door.

Both of them were shocked at the same time and turned to look at Fang Heng who walked out of the laboratory.

"Commander Fang Heng. " Osborne said in a deep voice, "Did you encounter a problem? Do you need any materials? We will immediately prepare them. "

"Everything is normal. " Fang Heng smiled warmly and took out a bottle of newly developed potion and handed it to Osborne. "Come, come, come. I have just developed the latest potion. Try it out. "

"Potion? " Osborne was stunned. He took the bottle of green potion from Fang Heng in disbelief.

"This is... the divine potion! ? " Osborne already had the answer in his heart, but he still asked with uncertainty, hand trembling slightly.

"Of course. Try it. "

Osborne took a deep breath, twisted open the bottle cap, and drank the divine potion in one gulp.

A scorching hot current flowed down his throat.

Osborne's pupils constricted slightly.

The needle-like burning sensation instantly flowed through his entire body!

It was not an ordinary divine potion but a modified one!

Osborne felt his heart beating wildly, the veins on his neck bulging, and a berserk strength surging in his body.

He felt his entire body on fire.

NI Shengtao asked anxiously, "Osborne, how is it? "

Osborne kept quiet. He gritted his teeth, turned his head, and threw a punch at the wall to the side.

Bang!

With a heavy muffled sound, the alloy wall was smashed, and a fist print was engraved in it.

Phew!

Osborne withdrew his hand and let out a heavy breath. "I'm doing really good. "

"Looks like it isn't too bad. " Fang Heng licked his lips.

The divine potion was divided into three grades: high, middle, and low.

After being modified, the divine potion could allow the parasitic worm body's ability to be further enhanced, and the user's physical fitness would be strengthened once again!

Naturally, negative effects also existed.

The parasitic host would also become more emotionally excited, more bloodthirsty, and more prone to being affected by external emotions. The time between each use of the potion would be greatly shortened.

Osborne looked at Fang Heng and kneeled on one knee. "Commander Fang Heng, congratulations on completing the modification of the divine potion! "

Then, a row of game hints appeared in front of Fang Heng.

"Hint: you have completed the development of the divine potion "

"Hint: you have completed the modification of the divine potion. The morale of the Scavenger Army has increased slightly. "

"Hint: you have completed the mission 'Scavenger Army Crisis' ahead of time. You have obtained all the command and control rights of the Scavenger Army ahead of time. "

"Hint: you have obtained the recognition of all the regional commanders of the Scavenger Army. Your honor level has been upgraded to maximum level of Scavenger Army commander. "

"Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army has reached the maximum. "

At the same time, in Edge Creek Town.

Cheng Ya and the other two who were waiting in the center of the square were stunned.

A game hint flashed in front of their eyes.

"Hint: after the recommendation of the various regional commanders of the Scavenger Army, Fang Heng has officially become the commander of the Scavenger Army. "

"Fang Heng? ! Him? Commander? ! " Seeing the name in the game hint, Cheng Ya and the other two were shocked.

What was going on?

How did Fang Heng become the commander?

...

In the headquarters of District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse, a combat conference was being held.

Kou Huai's index finger lightly tapped on the table.

The entire Federation had made ample preparations. They were all cowering and defending against the potential crazy retaliation of the Scavenger Army after the death of Cook Barn.

However, it was very strange.

It had clearly been almost a day, yet the Federation hadn't received even any reports of an attack.

The Scavenger Army was frighteningly quiet.

Why was it so quiet?

Kou Huai had an uneasy premonition in his heart.

There might be a great danger lying in wait.

"We think this is a normal situation. " Xiao Changle, the head of the intelligence department of District 7, spoke with certainty and appeared very confident.

He looked around at the many commanders who had come to participate in the combat conference. "I can't be too clear about the details of the main storyline. As you can see, the members of the Scavenger Army have great strength, and this strength requires a price... "

Xiao Changle continued, "They need to take a special potion for a long time. Our Zombie Apocalypse's intelligence department is sure that only Cook Barn has the ability to make this potion. Once the potion is lost, the entire Scavenger Army will suffer withdrawal symptoms and die... "

As they were speaking, the door to the conference room was gently pushed open.

"Sir! " A Federation soldier hurriedly walked into the hall. "It's an emergency. An insider in the Scavenger Army received news that five minutes ago, Fang Heng has become the new commander of the Scavenger Army. "

"What did you say? "

Chapter 433: Useless Teammates

Hearing the report, Kou Huai stood up from his chair and stared at the soldier. "What's going on? Tell me clearly! "

The Federation soldier who came to report felt that he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and his heart trembled.

That was all the information he had received. How could he be more specific?

"I have confirmed that Fang Heng has become the new commander of the Scavenger Army... "

Kou Huai stood still for a moment, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

How could it be? Fang Heng had become the new commander of the Scavenger Army? Was it a joke? He had never thought that the plot of District 7 could develop like that, and even the analysis report of the intelligence department had never given such a possibility. How useless was the intelligence department?

"This is impossible! " The head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, also stood up when he heard that and said sternly, "Impossible! This has never happened before. We have also tested it in other districts, and it is difficult to increase one's Scavenger Army contribution points. Unless the contribution points are maxed out, it is impossible to meet the most basic promotion conditions, and even maxing out the points is a mere possible theory. Other than that, there are hidden conditions that are realistically impossible to achieve. We need more information to study. Fang Heng must have used other special methods... "

"Shut up! " Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the urge to tear apart Xiao Changle alive.

"Study? At this juncture? What's the point? ! " he thought.

"Sir, please calm down. Even if Fang Heng has taken over the Scavenger Army, the destruction of the army is still within our expectations. We only need to stick to the original plan for three months, and the crisis will naturally be resolved. "

"It's not the same. " Another shelter commander shook his head and retorted, "Once a player controls the Scavenger Army, the threat they can pose will be greatly increased. "

The commanders of District 7 then began to discuss discreetly.

"Moreover, that person is Fang Heng, who also has the ability to control a zombie team. "

"However, if the Scavenger Army loses its supply of potions, they might lose control. Fang Heng might not be able to control them completely... "

"I think we should immediately pressure Fang Heng to disband the Scavenger Army and apply for an arrest warrant from our superiors. We can report that Fang Heng is suspected of participating in the terrorist action in District 7 and might be related to the anti-federation forces. We should bring hi under control first and then make a judgment. "

Kou Huai took a deep breath and barely managed to remain calm. He mused, "How can it be so easy to bring Fang Heng under control? It's not like I haven't tried before. Fang Heng has the North River Heavy Industry backing him, and the North River Heavy Industry has influence within the Federation. As long as they are willing, they can delay the arrest warrant approval for a month. "

Kou Huai turned around and stared at the head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, in the eye. He wished he could swallow him alive and sacrifice him to the heavens!

"Xiao Changle, can you guarantee that? Can you guarantee that Fang Heng won't be able to develop the divine potion? "

Facing Kou Huai's murderous gaze, Xiao Changle felt a little guilty and didn't dare to answer for a moment.

Kou Huai was burning with anger. He shouted sternly, "I'm asking you a question. Can you guarantee that the Scavenger Army will disappear completely in three months? ! "

Xiao Changle replied with fear and trepidation, "I guarantee that the divine potion will never be developed within three months... "

Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with hatred.

First, it was the large-sized guilds in District 7, and presently, it was the Federation's own intelligence department.

How could he meet so many useless teammates? !

The matter had developed to the current point, and District 7 was in big trouble!

Once Fang Heng agreed to command the Scavenger Army, he would be more of a threat than Cook Barn, much greater!

Kou Huai no longer believed Xiao Changle's answer at all.

If Fang Heng really developed the divine potion, he would have complete control over the Scavenger Army! Coupled with his large-sized zombie team, Fang Heng's power would be unthinkable.

Kou Huai had spent a lot of time and effort to plan the execution, but it ended up helping Fang Heng greatly. He had helped to nurture a monster that could destroy District 7.

"No! That won't happen. It won't... " Kou Huai comforted himself inwardly. He controlled himself to focus on the present and not think about the worst.

"Fang Heng! " Kou Huai gnashed his teeth. He had no choice but to calm down and face the present terrible situation.

What he was currently worried about was not the main storyline. It was Fang Heng, a ticking time bomb.

What if Fang Heng refused to even negotiate?

For a moment, Kou Huai felt that Fang Heng was 100 times more difficult to deal with than the anti-federal organization!

"Sir. "

"Yes? "

"There's another thing I have to report to you. About an hour ago, Fang Heng's main storyline contribution points increased significantly by 12,000 points. He has already beccome the fourth place on the main storyline leaderboard rankings of District 7. "

"What? ! "

...

The news of Fang Heng having replaced Cook Barn as the commander of the Scavenger Army of District 7 spread like wildfire.

The large-sized guilds in District 7 were in an uproar.

After the initial shock, the players of the large-sized guilds and the Federation of District 7 suddenly felt extremely sullen.

Countless people cursed in their hearts, "Those idiots from the Federation of District 7! What rotten luck for us to have met such lousy teammates like those from the Federation! After spending so much time, effort, manpower, and resources, not only did our joint sniping with the Federation fail to hit Fang Heng, but it even helped him rise to the top? "

The various guilds went to the Federation to seek an explanation.

In the end, the Federation promised repeatedly that the Scavenger Army would collapse within three months and asked all the player guilds to hold out for three months.

Every player guild in District 7 was panicking, afraid that they would be targeted by the Scavenger Army led by Fang Heng.

However, Tian Zhen felt that everything was not that simple!

There was always a what if when it came to Fang Heng, for he would always give them an unexpected scare.

What if he thought of a way to keep the Scavenger Army going?

In the past, Fang Heng entering District 7 was not that much of a problem. At most, their guild in District 7 had to cede a portion of the benefits they received, causing a redistribution in the overall benefits.

However, presently, Fang Heng had successfully become the commander of the Scavenger Army.

Then, it was no longer as simple as the guild ceding a portion of their benefits received. It was even possible for Fang Heng to lead the Scavenger Army and completely conquer them!

The more Tian Zhen thought about it, the more restless he felt.

A veteran player who had followed the guild for more than ten years suggested, "Guild leader, if we cooperate with Fang Heng now- "

Tian Zhen turned around and glared at him, interrupting, "Are you crazy! Cooperate with the Scavenger Army? "

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. "

"Get out! "

"I'm sorry. "

Tian Zhen furrowed his brows tightly, the suggestion lingering in his mind. He mused, "Cooperate with Fang Heng? Impossible! The Federation would never allow that, and going against the Federation is throwing one's life away. Openly cooperating with Fang Heng is absolutely out of the question! But, how about behind the scenes... ? "

He continued pondering, "Fang Heng's already made his move. Not only us, but the Federation's also made their move. However, not only did the Federation not manage to suppress Fang Heng, but they even helped him expand his influence in District 7. Fang Heng has the strength, and even luck is on his side! Instead of continuing to oppose him, it might be better to think of ways to cooperate with him... "

Chapter 434: Mutant Worm Body

Meanwhile, in the eighth basement where the research Institute of the Scavenger Army was, the head of the base's laboratory, Dr. Ding Min, introduced the cultivation pod to Fang Heng.

"The cultivation pod's transformation of the zombie corpse is only at the stage of secret experimental research. Transformation of the Tyrant form is still impossible. We lack the original fluid of worm body. It was previously provided by Commander Cook. " As Ding Min spoke, she handed the report to Fang Heng. "In addition, I have reported to Commander Cook more than once that similar worm form modification is extremely dangerous. The probability of the Tyrant form losing control is over 95% ... "

Fang Heng flipped open the report and looked at it. He asked in puzzlement, "The original fluid? "

"It's the foundational original fluid of worm body used to make the divine potion. I heard that you've successfully completed the research and modification of the divine potion. You should be clear about that. "

Fang Heng took out the remaining half bottle of original fluid from his backpack and handed it over.

He had been carrying the half bottle of original fluid extracted from the Hila tissue all along. He had originally planned to bring it back to District 8 for Qiu Yaokang's research. "Are you referring to this? "

Ding Min took the original liquid, raised it high, and checked it against the light.

"Yes, it's this kind of original liquid, but the quantity is still too small. The Tyrant form is different from ordinary zombies. It needs at least 500 times this amount to complete a Tyrant form transformation. "

"500 times? " Fang Heng thought that the number was too exaggerated. "Does the Tyrant form need to be bathed in the original liquid? To gather 500 times the original liquid of the worm body, I'll need to stop producing the divine potion for a month. "

He then asked, "It's too much. Can't it be less? "

"It's already the minimum amount. Mr. Cook has tried other transformation plans, but they all failed. A little less will cause the success rate to drop like a cliff. "

"Then what about changing the transformation method? I understand that the Tyrant form is big. What do you think about changing it to a Licker body? "

Ding Min shook her head and explained, "Before you came here, we already tested and studied many kinds of zombie corpses. Small-sized zombie corpses, such as ordinary mutated zombies and Licker bodies are unable to withstand the worm virus due to the strength of their bodies. Higher-level zombie corpses, such as one-eyed zombies, have stronger bodies, which will cause the worm body to have a strong rejection reaction. Their transformation requires more original liquid, and the success rate will be extremely low. After combining all kinds of tests, only the Tyrant form is the most suitable to be transformed. "

"Hint: player has obtained information on the transformation of the Tyrant form "

"Hint: player has triggered the mission 'Tyrant form special modification (mutant worm form) . "

"Hint: this modification is only for zombie clones in the Tyrant form. "

Name of modification: Tyrant form special modification, mutant worm form.

Modification requirement 1: two research personnel above rank A.

Modification requirement 2: obtain 300 original fluid of worm body for the divine potion .

Modification requirement 3: one custom-made high-level mutant worm form custom-made modifying cultivation pod.

Ding Min was a little tired from rushing to repair the laboratory the previous night. She raised her head and said, "Commander, I'm tired. If there are no questions, I'll go back and rest first. "

"Okay, you go and rest first. "

Seeing the game hints that refreshed on his retina, Fang Heng finally understood.

He had been tricked by Cook Barn!

Cook Barn had given him an empty promise!

At the current stage, the entire Scavenger Army did not have enough original fluid of worm body extracted from the Hila tissue!

So, to speed up the extraction of the original fluid of the unknown worm body, Fang Heng could only think of ways to get more samples of Hila cell tissues.

Ultimately, he still could not avoid the mission concerning Meteorite Company's 12 boxes, whether it was to create more and more powerful divine potions to increase the strength of the Scavengers Army, to find clues related to the Hila experiment to trigger the hidden ending, or to complete the next evolution of the Tyrant form.

All of those required him to obtain more samples of Hila tissues that were hidden by Meteorite Company as a prerequisite.

Narrowing his eyes, Fang Heng thought, "Whatever, I'll just get down to action. Didn't Cook Barn leave an electromagnetic tower behind anyway? I already know the coordinates of the next box, so I can directly take action! It's a good opportunity since the Federation can't figure out the Scavenger Army's plans and has concentrated their defenses. "

On the bright side, once he found the box, almost all the problems he was currently facing could be solved.

It was akin to killing three birds with one stone!

...

"Everyone. "

Three hours later, Fang Heng gathered most of the combat personnel from the Scavenger Army headquarters. "This is my first mission since I've become the new commander. For the death of Commander Cook! They must pay the price! I only have one request, and that's to win in one strike! I can promise everyone that after the victory, all of you will be rewarded with the modified divine potion according to your merit points. "

He then nodded to Osborne, who began to distribute the modified divine potions and weapons to the members of the team.

"Let's go! "

Raah!

The Scavenger Army elites poured bottles of divine potion into their mouths and smashed them on the ground, letting out angry roars.

"Hint: you have distributed the potions, which have boosted the morale of the team. Your reputation in the Scavenger Army has reached its peak. "

"Hint: your speech has boosted the morale of the members of the army. Your intelligence points are higher than 10 points. You have mastered the unique skill of a leader 'Team Encouragement. ' "

Skill: Team Encouragement (level 1) .

Skill description: when a player becomes the team commander, he or she can take the initiative to use this skill and boost the morale of the team within 100 minutes.

Skill description: the skill effect is related to the player's basic Will attribute and the level of the skill. The maximum level of this skill can be raised to level 20 and can not exceed the player's current level (this effect can not be stacked) .

Skill cooldown: 12 hours.

There was actually such a benefit? Earning a skill for free?

Fang Heng knew his eloquence.

Probably only those Scavenger Army soldiers who were affected by the divine potion would be motivated, but that was fine.

The great reward would breed brave men.

Fang Heng raised his right hand high, "Now! Follow me! All set off! It's just the Dark Knights! Crush them! "

Raah!

The Scavenger Army soldiers roared again, venting the anger and killing intent in their hearts.

Under the leadership of the various captains of the Scavenger Army, the team marched in the direction of the Dark Knights' camp.

Fang Heng was full of fighting spirit. It was presently the best opportunity to launch an attack.

While the Federation and other guilds were still lying in wait, he was going to make a big show of his attack! He would crush the Dark Knights with his strength and destroy them in one fell swoop, thereafter seizing the Hila tissue sample to complete the next tier transformation of the Tyrant form!

It was his first step in turning the tables on them.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 435: Attack the Dark Knights!

"The Scavenger Army has made a move! Report the situation to the higher-ups immediately! "

At the entrance of the mountain range, the Federation player team, which had been lying in ambush and observing the situation, noticed that a large number of the Scavenger Army soldiers had left and immediately reported the news to the Federation.

Five minutes later, Kou Huai received the news that all the members of the Scavenger Army had gathered.

Not only the Scavenger Army headquarters, but the regional commanders of the Scavenger Army also led their teams to assemble.

Kou Huai was ironically relieved when he received the news, for them not making a move was far eerier.

Next, he just needed to block their attack.

Even if he could not block it and ended up surrendering a few shelters to them in vain, they would still struggle.

Kou Huai laughed coldly in his heart.

The weight that had been weighing on his heart was finally lifted.

"Have you determined the direction of the enemy's attack? "

"It's still under observation. I can't confirm it for now. "

"Okay. " Kou Huai nodded and said, "Continue to observe. Tell all the shelters to be careful and enter Tier 1 martial law. Also, remind the player guilds in District 7 to be careful. "

"Okay, I'm on it! "

"Keep an eye on them! I want to know their target as soon as possible. "

"Understood! "

...

Meanwhile, in the abandoned mine area in Zombie Apocalypse, District 7.

Prior to the zombie apocalypse, it was one of the largest iron mines in the world.

Meteorite Company had bought the entire mine and mined it.

After the apocalypse, the place was occupied by the Dark Knights and transformed into a branch base.

Fang Heng led the Scavenger Army soldiers to the gathering point outside the mining area.

Upon seeing Fang Heng, Roche smiled and went up to him. "Hahahaha! Commander Fang Heng! The first time I saw you, I knew you were extraordinary! You are indeed amazing! You became the commander so quickly! " His voice was as loud as usual.

After he had received the news of the general attack, Roche immediately brought the regional team of Edge Creek town to gather and was the first to arrive at the gathering point.

"This area of the Dark Knights' camp has been hindering our development. I've wanted to crush them for a long time! " Roche's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light as he looked at the Dark Knights' camp not far away.

"Mm, the goal of this mission is to crush them, regardless of the price. " Fang Heng nodded and whispered, "In addition, I have a special mission for you. I'm not comfortable with entrusting it to the others. "

Roche was stunned. Hearing what Fang Heng said, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Do your best. The things are already prepared. Bring your people over to collect the supplies. Your team will be given priority in receiving some of the supplies. After the battle is over, it will be your first achievement. "

Roche's eyes lit up. He liked Fang Heng's style of doing things and thought the position of commander should have been given to Fang Heng long ago.

"Watch me, Commander Fang Heng. Watch how I crush them. " After saying that, Roche waved his hand at his team members. "Come with me. Let's go collect the supplies! "

Osborne and Ni Shengtao followed behind Fang Heng worriedly.

They finally realized how swift and decisive Fang Heng acted.

In less than 15 hours after inheriting the commander position, he had completed the development and modification of the divine potion.

In less than five hours after that, he immediately gathered all the military strength in the eastern region of the Scavenger Army and concentrated on attacking the branch base of the Dark Knights located in the abandoned mine area!

For the sake of the battle, they had brought all the warlord potions and divine potions from the headquarters.

Looking at the tightly-guarded fortress building in the distance, Osborne was still uncertain.

If they lost the battle, the entire Scavenger Army would be doomed.

"Commander Fang Heng, do we really have to do this? The defense of the Dark Knights is extremely strong. Commander Cook had planned many raids and eventually gave up due to various reasons... "

"Now is the best time. " Fang Heng rubbed his fist and asked, "Have you notified the other sub-teams? "

NI Shengtao replied, "I have. The five sub-teams' commanders have already gathered. The other 16 sub-teams are still on their way. It is estimated that all the teams will be assembled within 30 minutes. "

"Very good. There's no need to wait. Pass down my orders. In five minutes, everyone will attack. "

Tall Tyrant forms walked down from the truck behind them one after another and stood behind Fang Heng.

"Everyone, attack! "

Within five minutes, the 30 Tyrant forms formed a line and walked toward the Dark Knights' camp.

Bang, bang, bang!

Gunshots were heard everywhere.

The scouting team outside the Dark Knights' camp had long noticed that a large number of enemies were approaching from the outside.

On the towering defense wall of the periphery, the elite Dark Knights each used a long-range sniper rifle to attack the head of a Tyrant form.

The Tyrant forms withstood the enemy's firepower and created a zombie wall in front of them, blocking the front.

"Attack! Attack! "

At the back, the Scavenger Army soldiers who had fallen into madness from drinking bottles of divine potions and joined the battle with the Tyrant forms.

...

"What! ? is the information reliable? "

Kou Huai was stunned when he learned that Fang Heng had made his first target the Dark Knights after becoming the new commander of the Scavenger Army.

"Is he crazy? ! " Kou Huai had been fighting Fang Heng all the while, even though Fang Heng always had the upper hand because of Kou Huai's stupid teammates.

Kou Huai had always believed that he thoroughly understood Fang Heng and regarded him as a smart man.

Kou Huai subconsciously thought that Fang Heng's target would be a super-large shelter of the Federation to inflict heavy damage on the Federation.

However, the current situation was too unexpected.

Kou Huai would have had an easier time accepting the situation if Fang Heng had chosen a small-sized shelter of the Dark Knights, the shelter of another game guild, or even other small-sized shelters as his target.

However, Fang Heng had chosen to attack the branch of the Dark Knights that was most difficult to deal with.

In the combat conference room, many shelter commanders started to discuss in low voices.

They also realized that something was not right.

"Commander Kou, should we rush over to support the Dark Knights? "

Kou Huai did not answer. He was thinking to himself.

It was too late to go over to support at present, and it was easy to be ambushed by Fang Heng on the way over.

The Scavenger Army was especially good with direct combat engagements.

There must be something wrong. Could it be a trap set by Fang Heng, attacking a specific target on the surface but aiming for the reinforcements that would come?

Kou Huai frowned.

He couldn't figure out Fang Heng's intentions no matter how hard he tried.

Kou Huai mused, "Fang Heng would never do anything meaningless. Could it be related to the main storyline? ! Could defeating the Dark Knights' branch be part of the Scavenger Army's main storyline mission chain? "

Suddenly having a flash of inspiration, he quickly turned his head and focused his gaze on Xiao Changle, the person in charge of the intelligence department of District 7.

"Xiao Changle, what do you think? Do you think Fang Heng's unusual move this time is related to the main storyline? "

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 436: Complete Destruction

"This... "

Hearing the question, Xiao Changle was startled by Kou Huai's sudden gaze on him.

He immediately lowered his head and quickly flipped through the report in his hand.

"Sir, all the information the Federation has gathered regarding the main storyline of Zombie Apocalypse was known due to the Dark Knights triggering them. We have never really come into contact with the main storyline related to the Scavenger Army. In theory, the Scavenger Army does have the possibility of triggering the main storyline. " Xiao Changle frowned. "Considering the flow of the past main storyline in the major districts, I think the probability of Fang Heng doing anything related to the main storyline is very low. "

Kou Huai felt that there was no answer to Fang Heng's actions.

If it had nothing to do with the main storyline, why would Fang Heng suddenly fight the Dark Knights?

It didn't make sense!

"Commander Kou, why don't we let the Scavenger Army and the Dark Knights fight it out? As far as I know, the branch of the Dark Knights has a large-sized spatial rift device. There will be an endless supply of high-level elites of the Dark Knights coming from all over the world to provide support. The Scavenger Army will never be able to take them down. "

"Not necessarily. " Kou Huai's heart was heavy. "Under normal circumstances, the Scavenger Army can not claim victory, but their current commander is Fang Heng. "

Kou Huai could not help but clench his fists tightly.

Fang Heng was the most unstable factor!

While everyone was discussing, a soldier walked into the conference room.

"Reporting! The latest report from the inspection team has come in. "

"Give it here! " Kou Huai opened the report and quickly skimmed through its contents.

Hah!

Kou Huai was so angry that he laughed.

According to the report, Fang Heng had been kidnapped by the anti-federation force, Night Owl, in the villa, and his current whereabouts were unknown. North River Heavy Industry was hence requesting the Federation for help, asking the Federation to consider how Fang Heng was a partner of North River Heavy Industry, had been on good terms with the Federation for a long time, and had even accepted the Federation's appeal to withdraw from the Scavenger Army.

"In order to prevent Fang Heng from being threatened and used by the anti-federal organization, they hope that the Federation can help find him What a joke! " thought Kou Huai as he fiercely smashed the file in his hand onto the table!

He continued musing, "Couldn't Fang Heng have come up with a more believable reason? He's determined to go against me! He definitely has a secret plan! No matter what, I have to stop the enemy's plan. "

Kou Huai then took a deep breath and asked, "How many shelters are closest to the area? Count the ones that can reach the Dark Knights' branch in half an hour! "

A Federation player immediately reported after checking the data, "Excluding the time taken for the teams to gather, there are 12 shelters that can reach the Dark Knights' branch in half an hour to provide support. That includes two large-sized shelters, three medium-sized shelters, and seven small-sized shelters. Among them, there is one large-sized shelter and two small-sized shelters belonging to the Federation. "

Kou Huai ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately send out support for the Dark Knights! Also, tell the few player teams within range to immediately send support for the Dark Knights! Tell them to act immediately! The Federation will compensate for the battle losses after the event! "

"Understood! "

...

"What's going on? Fang Heng attacked the headquarters of the Dark Knights? " Tian Zhen, who was personally overseeing the shelter, was also stunned when he received the news.

Why did he choose the Dark Knights?

A second ago, Tian Zhen was still debating whether he should take the risk and secretly cooperate with Fang Heng.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Heng made a stupid move.

Why did he provoke the Dark Knights for no reason?

"Guild leader, we just received a call from the Federation confirming that the Scavenger Army has launched a surprise attack on the Dark Knights. The Federation has already dispatched people to attack Fang Heng, and they need our assistance from the side. We need to take this opportunity to jointly destroy the main force of the Scavenger Army. The Federation has agreed to compensate part of the losses we suffer in the battle. There's no time to lose. The Federation wants us to set off immediately. "

Tian Zhen could not help but fall silent.

He frowned, stood up, and began to pace back and forth in the hall.

Something was wrong!

There must be something wrong!

No matter how he looked at it, Fang Heng's move looked like a reckless one of giving up his own life.

What was he planning?

The branch of the Dark Knights was right next to the base shelter of Leftway Gaming Guild. Tian Zhen knew that very well.

The defense of the branch fortress was extremely strong.

Even if Fang Heng attacked with all his strength and successfully took down the fortress, it would only be a pyrrhic victory. It would only weaken the overall strength of the Scavenger Army. Was it really necessary just to get a fortress?

Deputy Commander Zhong Lei silently watched Tian Zhen pace about the room for a full five minutes. He mused, "Exactly what is the hesitation for? It's such a good opportunity to completely destroy the Scavenger Army, not to mention that the Federation has promised to partially compensate for the battle losses. "

Seeing that Tian Zhen had started to walk around the hall once again, he could not help but interrupt, "Guild leader, the Federation is pressing us very urgently. How should we reply? "

Tian Zhen finally stopped walking and said in a deep voice, "Reply to the Federation and say that we have agreed. We will immediately head to the Dark Knights' branch to provide support. "

"Understood! " Zhong Lei nodded and became excited. "I will go and gather the team now. "

"Wait! " Tian Zhen stopped Zhong Lei. "Who told you to gather the team? Gather the elite team. There doesn't need to be many people. Just ten people will do. "

"What? " Zhong Lei was stunned and did not react for a moment.

"Only ten people! I will personally lead the team to take a look. Do as I say! Go quickly! "

"All right, understood! "

...

"Quick! Faster! "

After receiving the request from the Federation, Holy Paladin Gaming Guild immediately gathered all their manpower and headed to the Dark Knights' branch to provide support.

Having been suppressed by Fang Heng for so long, they would not miss such a good opportunity to thoroughly destroy the Scavenger Army.

Not far away from the Dark Knights' branch, Holy Paladin Gaming Guild's players were driving a large-sized truck on a wide road.

They were almost there. The abandoned mine area was just two kilometers away.

The guild's vice-guild leader, Ma Keyu, could not help but urge the team to speed up.

Suddenly, Ma Keyu felt the seat under his butt shake violently.

Following that, he heard violent explosion noises.

Boom! Boom, boom!

"What's going on? Is it an ambush? ! " thought Ma Keyu, who realized the situation was not good and immediately got out of the vehicle to check.

The explosives that were buried in the road in advance had been detonated. The two large-sized trucks in the middle were directly affected by the explosion and had been sent flying.

The power of the explosives was not too strong, however, and the players in the truck only suffered minor injuries. They crawled out of the burning trucks while screaming in pain and sprayed first aid spray into their mouths.

For a moment, the entire team's progress was interrupted.

Was it an ambush?

The Holy Paladin Gaming Guild was not an ordinary guild. The team was very experienced in dealing with such ambushes. Some of the players set out to save their teammates, while the others quickly reacted and stood guard around the area.

"But... Choosing to ambush on such a wide terrain? " Ma Keyu was suspicious.

Just then, a voice sounded. "Look! What's that! ? "

Chapter 437: Ambush

As Ma Keyu looked in the direction pointed by the player, he witnessed a patch of scarlet appear at the end of the road, and his heart couldn't help but clench. He thought, "No Way? "

"Damn it! It's the Lickers! " a player immediately recognized the terrifying red and shouted.

The scarlet Lickers pounced at the players from all directions and approached at an extremely fast speed.

"Quick! Set up a formation on the spot! "

"It's too late! Run! "

The players were flustered by the large-scale attack by the Lickers. For a moment, they were a little confused. They thought, "What the hell? ! Weren't we supposed to completely destroy the Scavenger Army? Why were we ambushed instead? "

Unfortunately, they encountered the mutated Lickers in the wild and did not have any cover to protect them.

Ma Keyu couldn't help but lie down on his side with cold sweat running down his face.

That meant that they were not far from free rebirth!

A few players threw several flashbangs in all directions to delay the Lickers' attack speed.

Ma Keyu quickly looked around, trying to find a way to break out of the situation and survive.

He then noticed that there was a gap on the right side of the Lickers' encirclement.

"Quick! Over There! " Ma Keyu shouted and immediately led his team to retreat toward the gap.

The team found a glimmer of hope and immediately retreated to the side of the road.

"Look! There's a building over there! " a player pointed to an abandoned observation platform not far away and shouted.

Ma Keyu also saw the observation platform and immediately felt a sense of joy. "Quick! Occupy the building and set up a defensive line! "

Several players who were at the front of the team ran to the abandoned observation platform. One of them took out their rifle and was about to break open the main door.

He never expected that when he raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the lock of the door, the door would be pushed open from the inside.

Then, the muzzle of a black shotgun extended out from the door.

Boom! Boom!

Two shots from the front!

The player did not have time to react and fell to the ground.

"Hahaha! Commander Fang Heng was right! There are really people who want to die! I have been waiting for you here for a long time! " Roche laughed excitedly.

"All of you, attack! Brothers! Crush them! " He rushed into the crowd of players with his team, all of them possessing bloodshot eyes like a pack of wolves pouncing on their prey.

In an open-field battle, the Lickers and the crazed Scavenger Army were the strongest!

"It's the Scavenger Army! " The moment he saw Roche and the others, Ma Keyu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

In a hurry, the Holy Paladin Gaming Guild players could not organize an effective counterattack.

In just five minutes, the entire guild was wiped out, and not a single player was left.

Roche's body was full of bullet holes.

Blood kept flowing out of the bullet holes, and he looked like a bloodthirsty demon.

Feeling a little weak, Roche raised his head and gulped down three bottles of warlord potions.

As the muscles in his body squirmed, his wounds immediately stopped bleeding and quickly healed.

The other members of the Scavenger Army also gulped down the warlord potion and quickly recovered.

Before they could tidy up the battlefield, a member of the Scavenger Army rushed up.

"Captain Roche! There's another wave of enemies ahead! There are so many of them! "

"Captain! What if we don't have enough explosives? "

"F*ck! What a coward! " Roche spat on the ground and poured another bottle of warlord potion into his mouth. "Then we don't have to fight them with explosives! Remember what the boss said! As long as we can hold them off, it'll be counted as our first achievement! ! "

Under the effects of the warlord potion, the team spirit of the team led by Roche remained extremely high.

"Yes! ! "

In the distance, on a high hillside, using binoculars, the deputy commander of Leftway Gaming Guild, Zhong Lei, witnessed the scene of Holy Paladin Gaming Guild being wiped out. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he exclaimed inwardly, "That was close! "

Fortunately, Leftway Gaming Guild did not rashly listen to the Federation's words and directly lead a team to support the Dark Knights.

Otherwise, their current situation would not be much better than the Holy Paladin Gaming Guild's.

Tian Zhen stood at the side and could not help but sneer in his heart, "Hah! The Federation! That old fox Kou Huai! He deliberately let the first few waves of players clear the mine area before the Federation's main support force's arrival. It's clear as day that Kou Huai schemed this! "

"Guild leader, what should we do next? "

Tian Zhen snorted coldly in his heart. He then said, "Just sit tight and do nothing. Send someone to tell the Federation that our people were ambushed by the Scavenger Army halfway and suffered serious injuries. Hence, we have no choice but to withdraw. We will inform them of our battle losses at a later time. "

Zhong Lei nodded and responded, "Yes! Understood! "

...

Meanwhile, at the main battlefield where the Dark Knights' branch was.

The light canons and automatic canons on the periphery of the fortress continued to fire.

The Tyrant forms that were the first to absorb the enemy's firepower were severely injured.

The Scavenger Army soldiers mostly used close-range weapons, so their long-range combat power was very weak.

They could only rely on the zombie team to make up for it.

At the back of the team, Fang Heng, who was commanding the entire battle, had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

At the same time, Fang Heng had to be 100% focused on controlling the reinforcements on the front and side of the battlefield.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne stood behind Fang Heng. They were even more nervous than usual.

The battle had already entered its most intense phase. The battlefield was like a meat grinder, reaping the lives of both armies.

The number of deaths had increased greatly.

Osborne received some news from the rear and reported to Fang Heng, "Commander, there's news from Roche. A large number of players have rushed over to support the Dark Knights. They're suspected to be the Federation players that you mentioned. "

"Mm, Ni Shengtao, bring the remaining people over to support them. You must stop the Federation's people. You don't have to wipe them out, but you must not let them get close. Do you understand? "

Ni Shengtao said in a deep voice, "I understand! "

Fang Heng turned around and looked at the battlefield in front of him.

The battle was undoubtedly a battle of attrition. It would depend on who could last until the end.

More than half of the Tyrant forms had been damaged.

The opponent's light cannons' muzzles had also entered an overheated state and could not continue to be operated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the remaining five Tyrant forms that were close to the bottom of the fortress raised their fists and crazily smashed at the outer wall.

It was time!

Once the enemy's damage output was all directed at the Tyrant forms, the zombie team on the right side finally found an opportunity and quietly approached the front of the main building.

Fang Heng spent a lot of effort controlling the zombies to block the muzzles of the cannons.

The moment their HP dropped below 10% , they self-destructed.

"Blood explosion! Blood Explosion! ! ! "

Boom! Boom, boom! ! !

The damage caused by the self-destruction of the zombie corpses was apparent. Every time, it would cause the overall HP of the fortress to drop by a large chunk!

However, carefully controlling every single zombie clone to self-destruct would consume too much energy.

Fang Heng was extremely focused. He raised his head and gulped down bottles of coffee as he stared at the game log.

The overall defense of the fortress was only left with less than a third!

Just a little more would do!

Chapter 438: Capture the Fortress

In the command room of Dark Knights' branch.

Ovidius, the chief commander, was highly anxious.

He had also sensed the threat from the zombie team on the right side of their fortress.

Ever since the zombie team appeared, bad news had been reported to the command room one after another.

"Commander! The alarm on the wall is activated!"

"The durability of the defense at the east has been greatly reduced!"

"The space tearing device needs to be recharged. We have to replenish more blue crystals!"

"The opening of the No.7 light cannon turret has been damaged due to overheating. We can no longer use it, and we must repair it immediately!"

"Elite Team No.2 is in position. They are replenishing the defense of point No.8..."

"There are too many zombies, and their defense is powerful. We need heavy weapons to deal effective damage to them."

"They... they're climbing up!"

Looking at the zombie team outside through the surveillance screen, Ovidius broke out in a cold sweat.

It was the first time Dark Knights had encountered such a high-level zombie team that had been mutated. At this time, they had no idea how to deal with it.

If they let the zombies do whatever they wanted, they would keep scratching the wall outside the fortress.

However, what they could do was more than this. Many mutated zombies would extend vines from their bodies and use them to climb up to the automatic turrets on the upper side of the fortress to scratch the turrets.

If they attack the zombies immediately, once their HP dropped to a certain level, the zombies would instantly release powerful self-destruct skills. That would cause a large amount of damage to the automatic turrets and the walls of the fortress!

However, if they continued to ignore the zombies, the automatic turrets on the walls would be destroyed.

What should they do?!

Ovidius felt they would be in big trouble no matter which choice he made.

Just as he hesitated, a player suddenly turned pale and shouted, "Commander! An alarm has appeared on the east defense! It has reached the threshold level!"

"Boom!"

Before Ovidius could respond, a loud noise came to the ears of all the players.

The command room shook violently.

Then, there was a dead silence.

The entire battlefield also fell into temporary silence.

"Roar!"

A moment later, Scavenger Army on the battlefield let out even more berserk roars.

The wall on the right side of the fortress of Dark Knights' branch collapsed, leaving a huge hole.

"Haha! Follow me! Let's charge in!"

"Let's go! Now!"

The commanders of all the regions of Scavenger Army were excited when they saw this. They roared and led their team members to charge into Dark Knights' branch building from the hole.

Once they entered, Scavenger Army's close combat advantage would be fully activated!

"We finally make it."

Seeing the wall on the east side of the fortress collapse, Fang Heng relaxed.

He immediately ordered the zombie clones to enter the fortress and then poured a bottle of coffee into his mouth.

"Osborne."

"Here! Commander!"

Osborne suppressed the excitement in his heart.

They did it!

They had succeeded for real!

Although he fully trusted Fang Heng, Osborne had been worried whether their team would be able to break through Dark Knights' branch fortress.

It was known that the previous commander, Cook Barn, had spent a few years of planning but still failed to take down this branch.

But now, Fang Heng had actually made it.

Within 24 hours since Fang Heng had taken over Scavenger Army, he had not only completed the development and optimization of the divine potion but also had broken through one of the three major branches of Dark Knights!

Osborne was agitated.

He had a strong feeling.

Scavenger army would definitely be able to create unprecedented glory under Fang Heng's leadership!

Osborne took a deep breath and tried his best to appear less excited.

"Commander Fang Heng, we did it!"

"Not yet. It's not time to celebrate yet. We still have some way to go."

Fang Heng was a little worried that Dark Knights would play some tricks. He raised his head and looked at the fortress not far away. "Take a small team. We'll follow in and take a look together."

"Yes, sir!"

...

At the periphery of the abandoned mine area where Dark Knights' branch fortress was located, a group of players from Federation who came for help was setting up a defensive line on the road.

A gathering of Scavenger Army and Lickers were across from them.

Both sides were separated by a distance of a few hundred meters.

They had been in a stalemate for nearly half an hour.

Qu Chengwu, the commander of Federation, had tried several times to lead his team to charge forward. A group of Lickers would charge out and stop them when they were halfway out.

Coupled with Scavenger Army's powerful firepower, they had failed and were forced to retreat again and again.

A few minutes ago, another two groups of player guilds had just arrived and joined the team.

Qu Chengwu prepared to try again.

Just as he was about to give the order to attack, Qu Chengwu received an urgent message on his personal survival radio.

"Report: Scavenger Army has entered Dark Knights' shelter. Some Tyrant form zombies are heading in your direction. You'd better retreat quickly."

What?

They had been taken down?!

So soon?

Qu Chengwu was shocked when he saw the news.

It had only been an hour, and Dark Knights' branch couldn't hold on anymore?!

Was Scavenger Army crazy? How did their combat strength get improved so soon?

Qu Chengwu frowned.

He realized that his team was in trouble now.

Once Scavenger Army completely took charge of Dark Knights' branch, they would deal with Federation next when they were free.

Even Dark Knights could not withstand Fang Heng's frontal attack. How could they?

"Sir, we are ready to attack."

"Stop it. There's no need."

Qu Chengwu said in a deep voice, "According to the latest news, Dark Knights' branch has been occupied. Prepare to retreat in batches. We must be careful and minimize the casualties."

The soldier's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, sir!"

...

The branch of Dark Knights.

In the teleportation hall on the second floor underground.

Fang Heng stood in front of the large-scale space tearing device.

Two tyrants followed behind him as Fang Heng's bodyguards, one on his left and one on his right.

Gunshots could be heard from the passage outside from time to time.

The space tearing device in front of him had long stopped working.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. He stepped forward, squatted down, and reached out to touch the cold mechanical device.

"Hint: You have discovered a damaged large-scale space tearing device."

"Hint: It's detected that you have mechanical maintenance skills and the blueprint of the space tearing device. You are regarded to be able to repair the device."

"Hint: According to the assessment, its current damage is 37%. It can't be used but is repairable currently. The repair requires 21 advanced precision devices, 11 special alloy metal wires, and 1 wrench. The success rate of repair is 88%. The damage reduction will probably be 0.02%-0.2%."

What a pleasant surprise!

Fang Heng didn't expect to find a large-scale space tearing device here.

And it could be repaired and used.

After all, the space tearing devices that could be made in every game world were limited.

Chapter 439: The Unknown Box

"Well, nice!"

Fang Heng murmured in a low voice as he began to think.

The large-scale space tearing device was a good item. It could continue to work after he had the zombies repair it. Fang Heng considered setting this place as their main base. Then, the rapid support ability of the entire army could be significantly improved.

"Sir!"

While he was thinking, a deputy commander in Scavenger Army walked into the teleportation hall.

"Commander Fang Heng, the main control room is currently under control. The regional commanders are cleaning up the remaining resisting members in the fortress."

"Mm, well done."

Fang Heng put the space tearing device aside and stood up.

"Tell them to be careful when cleaning up. Try their best not to damage the machines."

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, a row of game hints appeared before Fang Heng's eyes.

"Hint: Player Fang Heng, you have led Scavenger Army to occupy Dark Knights' branch. The overall strength of Dark Knights has been greatly affected."

"Hint: Your friendship with Dark Knights has been greatly reduced."

"Hint: Your reputation among Scavenger Army has reached its peak."

"Hint: You have occupied part of the abandoned factory, and the morale of Scavenger Army has reached its peak."

"Hint: What you did have affected part of the world's main storyline."

Next, it was time to look for the box left by Meteorite Company.

Fang Heng rubbed his neck and exchanged a glance with Osborne, whose eyes flashed with admiration and fanaticism.

"Have you found the map of this fortress?"

"Yes, this is the map of the interior fortress we found in the main control room."

"Hint: You have obtained the map of the interior of the modified military fortress."

Fang Heng opened the map and glanced at it.

"Let's go."

Fang Heng took a few tyrant and vine zombies and headed to the spot where the coordinate was in his memory.

The Box's hiding spot detected by the electromagnetic tower was a two-dimensional coordinate.

There were a total of five floors in the fortress, two on the ground and three under the ground.

Fang Heng led the team, searching from the second floor to the third floor underground. They thoroughly searched the rooms on the coordinate but still failed to find the box.

"That's strange. Why can't I find it?"

Osborne was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that Dark Knights took the box away when they evacuated?"

Fang Heng frowned and thought for a moment. Then he raised his head and said, "It can't be. They shouldn't know anything about the special box. Let's go back to Level 2 and search again."

"Okay."

Then, Fang Heng and Osborne returned to the second-floor lounge.

The two tyrant forms walked to the spot of the coordinate and smashed their fists at the floor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They smashed a hole in the floor.

Then, they jumped down from the hole and reached the room below.

They smashed all the way to the room on the third underground level.

But still, they didn't find anything.

Fang Heng stroked his chin.

"Maybe it's a hidden room that was not marked on the map."

Thinking of this, Fang Heng summoned a group of vine zombie clones to the room.

These zombie clones took out their shovels and started digging down.

Half an hour later, the zombie clones found something after digging down for more than five meters.

It was a cement ground!

There was cement right below the coordinate.

So, there might be another room below!

The two tyrant forms immediately jumped down and started to smash the ground with their big fists.

Soon, they smashed a hole again.

There was a room below the hole.

Osborne was surprised for a moment and said, "Is this room left behind by Meteorite Company? Dark Knights might not know its existence."

"Yeah, let's take a look in there. We'll find out."

As Fang Heng said this, he quickly ordered the two tyrant forms to jump down from where they were.

After confirming no danger was in the room below, Fang Heng followed them and jumped into the space below.

When he landed, a cloud of dust rose up.

Fang Heng quickly scanned the room.

It was dark inside, and there were piles of abandoned sundries everywhere.

There was a thick layer of dust in the room.

Was it a store room?

Fang Heng glanced at its entrance.

No wonder he couldn't find it on the map. The door of the room had been filled with cement and sealed tightly.

Osborne also jumped down from the hole above. He shone his flashlight back and forth in the room, trying to find clues.

Soon, he noticed a metal box in a pile of sundries in the corner.

"Commander, look here! Is it this one?"

Fang Heng's eyes lit up as he walked up.

"Yeah! We found it!"

The metal box was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Fang Heng reached out and wiped off the dust.

"Hint: You have obtained an item, an unknown box."

"Item: An unknown box.

Description: A strange metal box with Meteorite Company's symbol on it.

Description: This item has the powerful strength of creatures. It can't be transported through the space passage or be stored in a backpack."

"Hint: You have discovered the unknown box hidden by Meteorite Company for the first time. You have obtained 1,000 main storyline contribution points."

...

On the other hand, members of Federation were in the meeting room.

They were silent.

No one had expected that Scavenger Army's strength had increased significantly in a short time after Fang Heng joined it.

They could actually take down Dark Knights' branch in less than two hours.

"According to the current information, Fang Heng has completely taken down Dark Knights' branch. After this battle, Dark Knights' strength has been greatly reduced. It will probably take them a long time to recover."

Kou Huai swept his gaze across the crowd.

"I'm gathering everyone here today to discuss our next move.

The death rate of Scavenger Army members is over 50%.

Since Scavenger Army's current strength has been dramatically reduced, I think this is the best opportunity for us to launch an attack on them."

"But..."

A commander brought up a different opinion. "Since they have already suffered a significant loss, and their strength has been greatly reduced, should we just wait three months and not make any move? After three months, Scavenger Army will automatically disband, and we will naturally get over the crisis.

Will that be safer?"

"No."

Kou Huai shook his head.

He was very doubtful about the time of three months.

"There might be accidents during this time. It's best to get rid of Scavenger Army as soon as possible.

With the influence of the players, Scavenger Army can possibly survive three more months. I even suspect Fang Heng started this battle to develop a special potion."

Hearing this, the commanders began to discuss quietly.

"No matter what Fang Heng wants to do, we must continue to put pressure on him, not giving him any chance to catch his breath!"

Kou Huai ordered, "Contact the player guilds in District 7 and get them ready to continue putting pressure on Scavenger Army.

In addition, as long as they can cause substantial damage to Scavenger Army, Federation will give them some reward and compensation, whether it's an individual or the player guild."

"Yes, sir!"

Chapter 440: Deep Blue Enigma

After leaving part of the Zombie clone in the Dark Knights' branch that had just been conquered, Fang Heng returned to the main base of the Scavenger Army with the box containing the tissue sample of Hila.

The general manager of the laboratory, Ding Min, had just taken a few hours of sleep when she was urgently summoned to the secret laboratory by Fang Heng.

"Hint: Ding Min of the Scavenger Army, the loyalty of the Army decreased by 1 point. Current loyalty: 80."

"Commander Fang Heng, What's so urgent?"

Ding Min was very angry when she got out of bed. "I've already told you that I can't carry out the modification of the Tyrant form without the original liquid of worm body."

"No, that's not why I called you here."Fang Heng pointed at the round table behind the tempered glass. "I found the latest sample of Hila's tissue."

Seeing the metal box on the Round Table, Ding Min instantly lost her sleepiness.

"This is..."

Ding Min leaned forward, her face almost sticking to the tempered glass.

"This is the secret box hidden by Meteorite Company?"

"Yes."

"When did you find it? Is it the box in the branch of the Dark Knights that we found before?"

"Yes, I just got it not long ago."

Fang Heng nodded, "The branch of the Dark Knights was destroyed by us an hour ago. Now it belongs to the Scavenger Army."

Ding Min turned around and looked at Fang Heng as if she wanted to get to know him again.

She had just gone back to catch up on her sleep. Fang Heng had already taken over the branch of the Dark Knights with his team before she could fully wake up?

"So Fast? How did you do it?"

"I kind of barged in."

Fang Heng's answer was concise and to the point.

The topic then circled back to research. "How much do you know about the research and development of the Hila's tissue sample?"

Ding Min turned her head and looked at the metal box behind the tempered glass, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't know much either. Commander Cook has always been on guard against me. Some things were only discovered by accident when I was collecting information last night."

"Alright, I hope that you will immediately stop what you're doing now and shift to the research and development of the Hila project. If there is anything you need, let me know immediately. Also, all the research and development files must be formed into experimental reports."

"The most important thing at the moment is that I need to accelerate the cultivation speed of the original liquid of worm body."

Fang Heng looked at Ding Min, "I will give you the highest research authority. I will immediately arrange for any personnel you need. We will also do our best to get all the materials you need. How long do you think it will take for the results to come out?"

Ding Min pursed her lips and thought for a moment.

"I read some experimental reports about the original liquid last night. I have also roughly studied the operation of the cultivation pod. With the new living organism of the Hila organization, it is not difficult to speed up the production of the unknown raw liquid. Half a day is enough."

"As for the follow-up research on the Hila experiment, the time required is unpredictable."

Ding Min said as she looked away from the box and turned to look at Fang Heng.

"Right now, I need a very important item. I need your help."

"Mm, what can I do to help?"

"I need all the information on the project of Deep Blue Enigma that Meteorite Company had previously developed."

"Deep Blue Enigma?"

Fang Heng frowned tightly. He had never heard of this in his memory.

Could it be that Meteorite Company had some special secret experimental project?

Ding min continued, "The project uses the essence of deep-sea seaweed to conduct research and attempt to fusion with the latest negative ion pore repair technology. It can deeply repair the aging of the skin and improve..."

The more Fang Heng Heard, the more he felt that something was not right. "Wait, the Deep Blue Enigma that you're talking about can't be a facial mask, right?"

"Yes, is there something wrong?"Ding Min asked curiously. "I will use my spare time to research and develop the Deep Blue Enigma Project. It Won't take up any of my working time."

Fang Heng was rather confused.

"What's with that expression?"Ding Min didn't think much of it. "Staying up late can cause fatal damage to the skin..."

...

After becoming the leader of the Scavenger Army, Fang Heng realized that being the leader indeed came with a lot of work.

There were too many things to deal with, and he was forced to work continuously.

The Scavenger Army won this battle, but they only scraped a narrow victory.

In order to ensure that they could take over the Dark Knights' branch in a very short period of time, the entire Scavenger Army had also paid a very heavy price.

The entire army had lost 62% of its members!

In the following period of time, the Scavenger Army's combat ability would be greatly reduced.

For the Scavenger Army, it had always been very troublesome to recruit new members. They needed a period of time to make it happen.

The newly recruited members were only beginner members. They could only use the lowest-level divine potion. After a period of time, the human body would be able to adapt to the stronger parasite body and take the intermediate divine potion.

There was indeed a shortcut.

Players were the key!

Players could complete the transformation in a very short period of time using the divine potion.

However, Fang Heng did not want to let the players take the risk.

The divine potion would affect an ordinary player's spirit, even in real life.

This would pose a great threat to the real world.

Fang Heng did not want to destroy this peaceful world.

Then he could only look for NPCs to expand the team.

He had to modify the recruitment conditions to allow more people to join the Scavenger Army.

In the past, due to the limited supply of divine potions, the number of Scavenger Army members came with a limit. Now that he had obtained a new tissue sample of Hila, the production of divine potions would also increase, and he could recruit more elites.

In addition, he still needed to arrange for people to guard the Dark Knights' branch area. The damaged space tearing device still needed maintenance, and the main base also needed a small-scale sub-teleportation device.

Construction materials needed to be prepared in advance.

Fang Heng was about to call Osborne to discuss when he noticed the game hint ringing again.

"Hint: player received an emergency message from outside the game cabin. Message: Fang Heng, the guild leader of the Leftway Gaming Guild is here. My fourth uncle wants to discuss cooperation with us. He's already here. Do you want to meet him? If you have time, let me know."

Fang Heng frowned slightly.

Leftway Gaming Guild?

In District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse, there was only one dominant player force, and that was Federation.

For many years, Kou Huai had been devoting himself to planning the development of District 7. All the player guilds' forces were under his control.

Every guild that had developed to a certain stage would be targeted by Federation in the dark.

Fang Heng remembered that some time ago, the Leftway Gaming Guild started a conflict between the Scavenger Army and the game guilds in District 7.

"Leftway Gaming Guild is cooperating with me?" Fang Heng thought.

"Why do they want to cooperate with me? Is he not afraid of offending Federation?"

"Or was there another trap?" Fang Heng was very confused.

No matter what, he had to play along for Mo Yunxiao's sake.

For a long time, Mo Yunxiao had been of great help to him.

Fang Heng had always been very grateful to Mo Yunxiao.

Thinking of this, Fang Heng dropped a backpack on the spot and went offline.

Chapter 441: Conspiracy

It was now In the reception room.

Mo Yunxiao and the other two were drinking tea.

Tian Zhen nodded at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei when he saw them walk in.

This was the first time he had seen Fang Heng with his own eyes.

He was even younger than what he had seen in the video!

Mo Yunxiao waved his hand and signaled to Fang Heng to sit down.

"Fang Heng, you've come at the right time. I suppose you haven't met. This is Tian Zhen, the president of Leftway Gaming Guild. "Mo Yunxiao pointed at another middle-aged man. "This is my senior brother from the tea ceremony tutoring class, senior brother Wuxin. I'll take senior brother Wuxin on a tour to see my collection of tea sets. You guys take your time..."

Mo Yunxiao simply greeted everyone and left the room with his senior brother. He also closed the reception room's door.

Only Tian Zhen and the other two were left in the room.

Tian Zhen poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Fang Heng, We've fought a few times before. To put it bluntly, it's all for the sake of benefits. I'm sure you can understand. I'll just be level with you. Let me apologize to you by drinking this cup of tea."

After Tian Zhen said that, he finished his cup of tea.

"Okay."

Fang Heng took a sip of tea. "We're all busy people. Why don't we just cut to the chase?"

"Okay. I'm here to cooperate with you."

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Tian Zhen had already thought of everything before coming here.

He said word by word, "I will do my best to help you defeat Federation and seize the main task of District 7."

Fang Heng's eyes were wide open as he stared at Tian Zhen.

"Really?"

Tian Zhen looked sincere and earnest.

"I would like for us to work together."

This cooperation was a huge gamble for the entire Leftway Gaming Guild.

Previously, Tian Zhen had been hesitant about this.

Not long ago, after witnessing Fang Heng plot to kill Federation's reinforcements and lead the Scavenger Army to capture the Dark Knights' branch with his own eyes, Tian Zhen finally made up his mind.

He decided to take a shot.

He had an extremely strong hunch.

He believed Fang Heng would win!

"Because we are restricted by Federation, we can only help you in secret. We will do everything in our power to help you."

Tian Zhen listed all his requests. "Our request is that after the final main task of District 7 is settled, we need your support to allow the Leftway Gaming Guild to develop the shelter industry in District 7 and establish a shelter community. The designated area is thirty times the scope agreed upon by Federation. This is the scope that we have planned in advance."

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other.

Mo Jiawei understood. He took the proposal and quickly flipped through it.

He whispered in Fang Heng's ear, "It's about the size of an area of Edge Creek Town."

Fang Heng tried to figure it out in his head.

The request from Tian town was nothing to him.

They just wanted to expand their territory.

When the time came, the entire District 7 and District 8 would be his, not to mention one Edge Creek Town because he could even afford a hundred of that!

And it would have the slightest impact on him

Upon second thought, he was now almost alone in District 7.

Unless he went to the black market to recruit fighters, no player would join him even if he posted an advertisement with desirable benefits.

The Scavenger Army itself had a lot of trouble to deal with.

He really could use some outside assistance!

To work with Tian Town's Leftway Gaming Guild was exactly what he wanted. They concluded a deal very fast.

The problem was trust.

Fang Heng looked at Tian Zhen, wondering if he should trust him.

Tian Zhen said, "Standing up against Federation in secret comes with great risk. We have to earn ourselves enough benefits. 30 times the size of territory agreed upon with Federation would be our bottom line."

"The payment is not a problem. I also hope that we can work together, but how can I trust you?"

Hearing that Fang Heng agreed to this condition, Tian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the cooperation and trust, Tian Zhen had already made plans in advance.

"Don't worry about this. I have already informed Mr. Mo Yunxiao. Mr. Mo will be the notary. As long as you agree, I can take out part of the company's shares as collateral and hand it over to North River Heavy Industry."

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Tian Zhen.

Tian Zhen also looked at Fang Heng.

Zuo Dao's shares of Leftway Gaming Guild were an extremely important bargaining chip in Tian Zhen's eyes.

As for Fang Heng, this could hardly be an enticing condition for him.

Fang Heng was thinking about competing against the entire District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse.

He didn't care about Zuo Dao's company shares at all.

Mo Yunxiao would be the key factor to think about.

Mo Yunxiao was willing to be a witness, which meant that Mo Yunxiao was willing to trust Tian Zhen.

With this in mind, Fang Heng immediately felt much more at ease.

"Mr. Tian, are you sure? If you cooperate with me, it's very likely that you'll offend Federation."

Tian Zhen said seriously, "I'm sure."

"Alright! I wish us happy cooperation!"

Fang Heng did not like dawdling, so he immediately made the decision, "I can also promise you that you will only need to act in secret from now on. Even if our cooperation fails one day, I will not expose the fact that you are cooperating with me. Even if there is a problem, it will not implicate your guild."

"Thank you."

After finalizing the cooperation with Fang Heng, Tian Zhen felt relieved, and a smile touched his face.

"However, there is one point that needs to be made clear. We will definitely not fail."

"That's right."

Fang Heng was in a good mood. He picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

In terms of strength, the Leftway Gaming Guild was simply pale in comparison with Federation.

Fang Heng did not expect them to join the direct battle against Federation.

He just wanted them to hide in the dark, which was the biggest help they could be of.

He continued to expand his train of thought.

If he had Tian Zhen's help, then..

Perhaps he could..

In a short moment, a rough version of the plan was quickly laid out in Fang Heng's mind.

He had it!

The hidden ending of Hila experiment!

The current main task of the Scavenger Army was too difficult. They needed to occupy more than 85% of the world's regions, and with Federation obstructing them, it was almost impossible to complete it.

If they had Tian Zhen's help, perhaps with their strength, they could secretly build electromagnetic induction towers around the world to search for Meteorite Company's mysterious box!

When the time came, the induction towers built around the world would be directly connected to the Scavenger Army's main electromagnetic tower, searching for the location of the remaining 10 samples of the Hila organization around the world..

Once the plan was successful, the Hila organization sample could speed up the production efficiency of the divine potion. This also meant that he could provide more divine potions, which was equivalent to increasing the combat strength of the Scavenger Army.

If he was lucky, he might even be able to bypass the conquering ending of the Scavenger Army and trigger the hidden ending of the Hila experiment!

Perhaps two endings could be triggered at the same time?

Fang Heng could not help but feel a little excited.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was very feasible.

Mo Jiawei watched quietly from the side.

He saw the familiar look of concern on Fang Heng's face, and he realized something.

He knew that Fang Heng must be plotting something.

Chapter 442: Transformation

Fang Heng suddenly raised his head and asked, "Right, does the game guilds of the left path come with a large-scale space tearing device in the game?"

"There's no such sophisticated device as that. District 7 has always been under the strict control of Kou Huai. Only a very small number of game guilds that work closely with Federation can obtain a small-scale space tearing device from Federation."

Tian Zhen smiled bitterly.

How could it be that easy!

There was a limited number of space-tearing devices in the entire region, and all of them were under the control of Federation.

Meanwhile, Federation had already rejected several of their requests to build small-scale teleportation points.

In fact, Tian Zhen knew very well that this was a restriction that Federation had placed on their guild.

Federation would provide some small-scale player guilds with a small-scale space-teleportation device. As for the main devices, they would hold them tightly in their own hands.

"It doesn't matter. There's still time. We'll just start building one. You should prepare the materials."

As Fang Heng spoke, he casually picked up a piece of paper on the table and wrote on it the materials needed to build the space tearing device branch, the small-sized space tearing device.

Seeing Fang Heng writing at full speed, Tian Zhen was stunned. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

"Wait, you know how to build a space tearing device?"

"Yes, but I only have the theoretical knowledge."

Fang Heng replied while writing in his notebook, "Every time you create the main tearing device, you need to consume blueprints. However, you don't need to create a small-scale space tearing device. Coincidentally, I found the large-scale space tearing device left behind by the Dark Knights that I just conquered."

"It can still be used if it is repaired."

Tian Zhen was once again shocked by Fang Heng.

It did not occur to Tian Zhen that Fang Heng could actually repair and construct a large-scale space tearing device.

Was this considered a bug?

What was even stranger was that from the development of District 7 until now, all the blueprints in theory had already been controlled by Federation. How could Fang Heng know how to construct a large-scale space tearing device?

If he swapped servers, all of the skills would be reset by default, including the blueprints that he had already mastered..

Fang Heng handed over the note that he had recorded.

"Take it. This is the list of the manufacturing materials. Also, give me the coordinates of your headquarters. When the materials are completed, I'll bring people over to manufacture them. Remember, it must be kept a secret..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it immediately when I'm back."

Tian Zhen opened his mouth and took the note.

He felt that it was better not to pry into each other's secrets since both sides had just started cooperating.

Tian Zhen thought for a moment and asked, "Can I send someone to your side? That way, it'll be easier for us to communicate in the game."

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Of course, no problem."

Fang Heng stood up and patted Tian Zhen on the shoulder, "Get Ready. I'll help you become the biggest force in District 7 next to Federation. Get ready for the development. If you need money, borrow some from outside."

Tian Zhen was stunned. "Borrow money?"

"Oh, it's no big deal. I'll take care of that."Mo Jiawei listened for a long time. Finally, he had a chance to show off. He patted his chest, "Although North River Heavy industry can't lend you money in public, I have a lot of connections. I can pull a few strings and get you the money you need."

"Uh, okay, okay..."

Tian Zhen stared blankly at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei. His reply was a little stiff.

He did not understand why he would want to borrow money.

For a moment, he was a little confused by Fang Heng's out-of-the-box thinking.

Just a moment ago, they were discussing the construction of a small-scale space tearing device. How did it suddenly become that they wanted to become the largest force in the game besides Federation?

Mo Jiawei saw Tian Zhen's stiff smile and thought that he was worried. He also came up and patted Tian Zhen on the shoulder.

"Don't worry. As long as you intend to cooperate with Fang Heng. I guarantee that you will earn a lot more money than you can spend for the rest of your life. Trust me, I have been there."

Tian Zhen smiled bitterly. However, seeing that Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were so confident, he was somehow reassured.

"Oh right, there's one more thing, Fang Heng." Tian Zhen thought of something, then he said seriously, "Before I came here, I received news that Federation wants to take advantage of the fact that the strength of the Scavenger Army has been greatly reduced this time to prepare to attack you. You have to be careful and make plans in advance."

"Yes, I will be careful."

Fang Heng was not surprised by Federation's retaliation.

This was also what kept troubling him.

Currently, the strength of the entire Scavenger Army had fallen to the bottom, so it was very difficult to resist Federation's attack head-on.

Fang Heng was already prepared to get rid of a few branches of Federation to buy more time for his development.

But he had other plans.

He couldn't let them get the upper hand so easily.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, thinking about playing a trick on them.

...

Six hours later, it was in front of the cultivation pod in the secret research lab.

Two Tyrant forms stood in the cultivation pod.

The door slowly closed.

Red liquid was poured into the pod, soaking the two Tyrant forms.

Ding Min held the record book in her hand and said in a low voice, "The experiment begins."

"Hint: your zombie corpse is being modified."

"Hint: the current Scavenger Army has 18 researchers above Grade A, a high-level research personnel's cultivation POD * 3, divine potion and original liquid of worm body * 782."

"Hint: player has met the current Tyrant form-mutant bug form modification condition."

"Hint: this modification is only for the Tyrant form's zombie clone."

"Hint: currently, players can modify two Tyrant forms. The current modification will cost 50,000 survival points (per player) , Tier 1 evolution crystal * 50, the modification will last for 48 hours, divine potion and original liquid of worm body * 300(as well as other nutrient solution consumption) player can consume additional survival points to speed up the efficiency of the modification."

"Hint: current evolution success rate is 100% . Would you like to begin evolution?"

"100% success rate! Good!"

Fang Heng thought to himself.

"Evolution! Increase the speed! Increase the speed to the maximum!"

"Hint: player has consumed 100,000 survival points. Tier 1 evolution crystal * 100. Divine potion and original liquid of worm body * 600. Player has consumed an additional 100,000 survival points to shorten the evolution time."

"Hint remaining time of current transformation 6 hours."

"Splash, splash, splash..."

A series of bubbles emerged from the large-scale cultivation pod.

It was just another 6 hours to go.

By then the Tyrant would appear following the mutated insect body transformation

Fang Heng indeed looked forward to that.

Ding Min was observing the situation in the cultivation pod while holding a pen and paper to record the data while explaining to Fang Heng.

"The newly collected cells of the new Hila creature are more active, so we can extract a large amount of the insect's body fluid in a short period of time."

"Don't get hyped up yet. The current state is not stable. As time passes, the speed at which we obtain the unknown insect's body fluid will greatly decrease until we return to a normal standard."

"Hmm."

Fang Heng understood what he said. He knew that by obtaining more samples of Hila's tissue, he would be able to obtain more original liquid of worm body and think of a way to let more Tyrant form evolve!

So he knew what to do next.

The following work would be left for Tian Zhen. He would be responsible for managing the global distribution of Electromagnetic Induction Tower.

"I'll have someone take care of the cultivation pod 24 hours a day. It's already late. I'm going back to rest. Here's today's record report," Ding Min said.

She put the record book on the table and left the laboratory.

Just as she reached the door, she met Osborne who was about to enter the laboratory to look for Fang Heng.

"Hi, Dr. Ding Min," Fang Heng said.

"Hi," Ding Min said.

Ding Min nodded. She suddenly thought of something and turned to Fang Heng. "By the way, Commander Fang Heng, the mask information you promised me should be obtained as soon as possible so that I can devote myself to research and development."

Fang Heng said wordlessly, "Humph, typical woman."

He did not know how to complain. He waved his hand at Ding Min and made an okay gesture, watching her leave.

"Commander Fang Heng, the abandoned mine area is temporarily guarded by Regional Commander Roche with his men. Edge Creek Town is not heavily guarded, so there might be trouble. After the previous battle, we suffered heavy casualties, so we need to recruit more men as soon as possible," Osborne said.

He rushed into the room and reported the latest progress of the Scavenger Army to Fang Heng.

Osborne said, "In addition, all the building materials you needed before are being sorted and collected. Most of the building materials are available in the army, and a small number of special materials should be collected from the regional branches. It is expected that all of them will be delivered to the abandoned mine area by noon tomorrow."

Fang Heng did not speak.

He stared at Osborne.

Fang Heng felt that something was wrong as soon as Osborn entered the room.

He looked at Osborne carefully, and there seemed to be an extremely blurry shadow behind Osborne.

He thought, "What is it?

"Or is it just my illusion?"

Fang Heng was puzzled when a hint flashed across his eyes.

"Hint: Your basic perception attribute has reached over 30. You have noticed something strange."

"Hey, Commander, what's wrong?" Osborne asked.

"No, nothing," Fang Heng said.

He confirmed.

It was not his illusion.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I got it. After the materials are delivered, you should immediately speed up the recruitment process. You can adopt more flexible requirements when selecting people."

"Okay," Osborne said.

"Hint: You have issued the order to recruit members for Scavenger Army. The current morale points of Scavenger Army have reached their maximum. Recruiting members will cause a small drop in morale points."

"Hint: Please note that recruiting too many members will result in a shortage of strategic reserve materials."

"There is one more thing, Commander. The patrol team at the periphery of the headquarters met a suspicious person in the mountain when they were patrolling. The person claimed to be looking for you, saying that she was recommended by Old Black," Osborne said.

"Old Black?" Fang Heng said.

He raised his eyebrows. "You have brought her into the headquarters?"

"Yes. According to the patrol officers, she has some special abilities. We've temporarily placed her in the temporary dungeon in the headquarters." Osborne nodded and explained. Then he asked, "Should I bring her here now?"

"No need," Fang Heng said.

Then he took half a step sideways, quickly raising his hand and smashing it forward severely.

Osborne was greatly shocked.

He felt a gust of wind blowing past his ear.

Fang Heng's fist brushed past his ear and smashed forward.

Bang!

A figure appeared in the air after being hit by Fang Heng's fist.

Wu Siying held a dagger in one hand to block in front of her body.

Fang Heng's fist smashed fiercely against the dagger.

Wu Siying felt a large force.

She struggled to control her body and retreated a few steps before she could deflect all the force from Fang Heng's fist.

Fang Heng's fist was also cut by the dagger.

Drops of blood dripped down the wound.

The dagger-cut wound on Fang Heng's fist healed in an instant because of the Vampire Bloodline and high Physique.

Osborne finally reacted. He immediately raised his shotgun and aimed at the woman.

Osborne was still surprised and bewildered.

He thought, "When did she follow me? Why did not I notice her?"

Fang Heng stopped attacking and asked, "Are you a friend of Old Black?"

"Yes, I'm Wu Siying from Black Castle," Wu Siying said.

Wu Siying straightened her body and tried her best to appear calm.

She never thought that Fang Heng could see through her stealth.

Wu Siying thought that Fang Heng was just an ordinary summoner who relied on the zombie team to fight. She couldn't imagine that the strength attached to Fang Heng's punch was so terrifying.

Fang Heng did not look like a low-level player at all.

"Black Castle?" Fang Heng thought.

He looked at Wu Siying and thought to himself.

Black Castle was a very mysterious organization in the game.

In his memory, he had seen this name by chance when he collected information.

The Federation claimed that Black Castle was one of the extremely dangerous anti-federal organizations, and they did not dare to offend this organization.

However, in reality, few ordinary players had really come into contact with the Black Castle, and information about Black Castle in the outside world was also very rare. Black Castle spent most of its time in advanced game world and rarely participated in low-level games.

Fang Heng thought, "Why did she come here?"

Wu Siying put away her dagger and stretched out her left hand to press on her right shoulder.

Creak.

There was a soft sound.

The shoulder that had been dislocated by Fang Heng's punch was restored to its original shape.

"Fang Heng, I invite you to join us on behalf of Black Castle. We will help you obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7. In exchange, we need you to agree to some conditions after that," Wu Siying said.

"I refuse," Fang Heng said.

"You can take a look at the contents of the contract first."

Wu Siying flipped her wrist, and a pitch-black contract scroll appeared in her hand.

"No need. I refuse."

Wu Siying's brows were tightly knitted.

She did not expect Fang Heng to reject so decisively again.

How could anyone refuse such a generous condition?

Wu Siying thought of something.

That was right. Fang Heng was only an elementary player. He didn't understand what a final authority of the game world actually meant.

Wu Siying said, "Fang Heng, I'm afraid you don't know what it means to obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7. Even in an advanced game world, countless people are desperate to obtain the final authority of the game world."

"No need. Thank you for your kindness," Fang Heng said.

He still shook his head and refused.

In the game, things like contract scrolls were very strange. If one wasn't careful, he could easily be cheated.

In addition, Fang Heng did not think that he needed the help of the Black Castle.

He already had a plan.

Once the transformation of the mutant worm body Tyrant was completed, he would have Tier 5 mutated zombie work for him.

When that time came, the Federation would be in big trouble.

Fang Heng was confident that he could obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7 by himself.

It was just a District 7 Federation.

There was no need to sign a contract and be controlled by others.

"Fang Heng, we have assessed your strength. You are indeed capable of controlling zombies, but it's impossible for you to successfully occupy District 7 by yourself." Wu Siying continued to try to persuade him, "We have received news that the Federation will launch an attack on Scavenger Army soon."

"There's no need." Fang Heng turned to look at Osborne. "Osborne, help me send my guest off."

As they were talking, a Scavenger Army elite stepped into the room.

"Report!" the Scavenger Army elite said.

"What's the matter?" Fang Heng asked.

"Survivors are attacking Edge Creek Town, South City district, and other areas. There are also a small number of unknown scattered team members attacking the various strongholds of Scavenger Army..."

"I got it," Fang Heng said.

He nodded.

Kou Huai was a tough opponent.

He didn't even give Fang Heng some breathing space.

Federation reacted faster than Fang Heng had expected.

Fang Heng turned around, seeing Wu Siying's gaze.

"Why are you still here?" he asked.

"Your strength is still too weak. Fang Heng, you can't resist Federation alone," Wu Siying said.

She decided to try one last time. "I suggest you reconsider our proposal. We can help you resist Federation's attack. At the same time, we can provide you with a piece of hidden information related to the main storyline of Zombie Apocalypse. It will help you complete the main storyline as quickly as possible.

"We can promise you that we will definitely help you obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7 within three months."

"What?" Fang Heng thought.

His eyes lit up when he heard this.

He thought, "A piece of hidden information related to the main storyline?

"That sounds great!"

However, joining Black Castle would inevitably be controlled by others.

Fang Heng raised his head and asked, "Why are you so sure that I will lose?"

Wu Siying said, "I've said it before. We've researched you. There's no way you can stick it out."

"Since you're so confident, why don't we make a bet?"

Wu Siying frowned. "What kind of bet?"

"We'll bet on whether I can withstand Federation's pressure. I'll make Federation suffer a little within a week. Not only can I withstand the pressure, but I'll make Federation feel great pressure. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

"So, let's make a bet. If you win, I'll sign a contract with you to join Black Castle. If you lose, you tell me the hidden information related to the main storyline of Zombie Apocalypse. How about it?"

Wu Siying looked at Fang Heng.

She felt that Fang Heng was too arrogant.

Perhaps he was used to being able to succeed in everything he did, so he was confident that he could defeat Federation.

She thought, "All right. Let Federation teach Fang Heng a lesson.

"However, in that case, it would be more troublesome to help Fang Heng obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7."

She said, "Such a bet is meaningless. I won't bet with you. You can't do it."

Fang Heng thought, "She actually didn't fall for it!"

He licked his lips.

He knew it wasn't that easy to get the hidden main storyline from Wu Siying for nothing.

But for now, it seemed that Wu Siying should not be his enemy.

He would keep her first and then slowly think of a way to get information about the main storyline from her.

"Humph, don't you believe me? Just wait to see!" Fang Heng said.

Then he said to Osborne, "Osborne, take her to the lounge. Wu Siying, stay here for two days and see what I can do."

Wu Siying said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to change your mind."

...

Six hours passed.

They were In the secret research room of Scavenger Army.

"Dr. Ding! The pressure in the cultivation pod is too high!"

Ding Min observed the condition of the cultivation pod with a grave expression.

After soaking the Tyrant form in the special solution for six hours, the pale yellow solution turned into blue liquid waste.

"Dr. Ding! The pressure is still rising!"

"Anomaly in the mutation index!"

"The worm body is eroding!"

In the last 10 minutes of the transformation, the Tyrant form in the cultivation pod expanded rapidly.

Creak...

Creak, creak, creak...

Looking closely, the tempered glass of the cultivation pod actually had some tiny cracks.

"Inject Type 3 stabilizer!"

Inside the cultivation pod, the body of the Tyrant form's heart gradually twisted and grew a strange protruding sarcoma.

At the same time, rows of game hints appeared in front of Fang Heng's eyes.

"Hint: Your zombie clone (Tyrant form and vine parasite fusion) is undergoing the transformation into a mutant worm body. The mutant worm body is controlling the nerve center of the Tyrant form and gaining control of the zombie clone."

"Hint: Your zombie clone is currently in great danger. You can spend 50,000 survival points and 20 Tier 1 evolution crystals to eliminate the hidden danger."

Fang Heng stared at the cultivation pod in front of him and whispered, "Consumption."

Purr, purr...

A series of bubbles appeared again in the cultivation pod.

"Report! Dr. Ding! The mutation index is dropping rapidly!"

"The pod's pressure is still rising!"

Inside the cultivation pod, the sarcoma at the heart of the Tyrant form exploded.

A yellow eyeball replaced the heart and was exposed.

The eyeball seemed to have been given life, looking at the outside world.

What a terrifying thing!

Everyone present felt a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the yellow eyeball.

Ding Min realized that some of the researchers had been frightened by the Tyrant form, so she immediately shouted, "Keep a clear head! Extract the waste liquid! Release the cultivation pod's pressure!"

Only then did the researchers come back to their senses and continue to control the machinery.

Purr, purr...

The blue waste liquid in the cultivation pod was completely extracted.

Click.

The cultivation pod's door opened.

Two Tyrant forms stepped out from the two cultivation pods.

Compared with before the evolutionary transformation, the height of these two Tyrant forms had greatly increased.

Their shoulders were wider and thicker, and their height had reached more than three meters.

Osborne felt a great threat from the Tyrant forms. He stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"

More than a dozen Scavenger Army elites immediately gathered in front of the cultivation pods and aimed their shotguns at the two fusion Tyrant forms.

Ding Min stared at the data on the control panel with a strange expression.

In her opinion, today's modification experiment was too strange.

She was already prepared for the experiment to fail.

The worm body in the unknown original liquid of worm body was a highly active and completely uncontrollable kind of mutant worm.

Once they parasitized the Tyrant form's body, they would definitely try to control the Tyrant form's center nerve and use it as a parasite puppet.

In the beginning, just as she had expected, the insect body quickly suffered a backlash.

But just as the Tyrant form was about to lose control, the worm body's backlash suddenly stopped.

What kind of strength had affected this?

Ding Min could not help but turn her head to look at Fang Heng, trying to get some information from him.

"Hint: The player has completed the Tyrant's fusion form's advancement. The Tyrant's fusion form has gained a new addition: a mutant worm body. The player can choose to spend 200,000 survival points and 100 Tier 1 evolution crystals to solidify this state (maintain the new fusion form after death and resurrection)."

After seeing the game hint, Fang Heng felt a slight pain in his heart.

In theory, after the fusion of the mutant worm form, the ability of Tyrant's fusion form was enough to compare with a Tier 5 life form.

However, the consumption of evolution was also very great.

Fortunately, after mastering the basic occult skill, the mark on the back of the hand could store evolution crystals. Otherwise, just relying on the Tier 1 evolution crystal in Scavenger Army's warehouse would not be enough for evolution.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The transformed Tyrant forms were huge, and every step they took was extremely heavy.

They stepped forward and stood in front of Fang Heng.

A yellow eyeball form grew out of the original heart of the Tyrant form.

The yellow eyeball form looked up and down at Fang Heng

Skill effect: The fusion Tyrant form can take the initiative to extend vines from its arm to assist, attack, and defend. When attacking, there is a chance to cause vine entanglement to the enemy and confine them."

"Skill: Mutant worm parasite.

Skill effect 1: The fusion Tyrant form has an unknown mutant worm parasite. When the fusion Tyrant form dies, the unknown purple worm body will crawl out from the corpse, and the worm body can attack the enemy (the worm body can cause infection, making the enemy become a second-generation zombie).

Skill effect 2: The fusion Tyrant form can also take the initiative to release the unknown purple worm body to attack the enemy. 50 worm bodies can be recovered per hour. 500 purple worm bodies can be stored at most(cooldown time: 6 hours)."

"Skill: Reckless evolution.

Skill description: When the zombie corpse's HP drops below 20%, it will automatically enter Tier 2. When the mutant worm body evolves, its body will expand rapidly, recovering 100% HP. Maximum HP increases to 3,000%. Movement speed reduces by 80%. Strength points increase by 300%. HP recovery speed increases by 1,000%. Some of the original skills will be ineffective after the reckless evolution is completed."

Ding Min said, "Test completed. Modification is successful."

She lowered her head to record while reporting all the data of the mutant worm form modification to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng whispered to himself, "Compared to the Nemesis of Meteorite Company, the mutant worm form modification has a greater improvement. It has a higher level of intelligence and can use advanced weapons. In theory, it can understand part of human language and can learn. We believe that the newly grown eyeball form at the heart has completely replaced the function of the brain. It may even have a special effect on the spirit...

"It's awesome..."

He had already gotten all the data of the modified form from the game hint.

It took him a few minutes to carefully understand the skill of Tyrant's fusion form.

In Fang Heng's opinion, other than the additional enhancement of each attribute, the strongest ability of the mutant worm Tyrant form was that it could run.

The zombies could run!

The agility of the Tyrant form had increased a lot.

It had a powerful hunting ability.

It was also amazing that it could use heavy weapons.

In the future, he could use heavy rocket launchers to bombard buildings.

The only problem was the lack of rocket launchers.

The production of a rocket launcher in the game was extremely difficult, and the number was very few.

It also had a defensive ability.

The Tyrant fusion body had only one weakness, the eyeball, and the final damage suffered by all other parts would be reduced by 85%. In addition, it had a maximum HP recovery of 1.5% per second.

It was a proper body shield!

What's more, the Tyrant form could spread out tiny purple worm bodies from the body.

Fang Heng muttered in his heart, "I don't know how the specific effects of the worm bodies. I have to think of a way to test the actual effects."

He prepared to find an opportunity to test the actual combat effectiveness of the fusion Tyrant form.

Then he said, "Osborne."

"Yes, here," Osborne said.

He finally came back to his senses.

The constantly rotating eyeballs on the shoulder of the Tyrant's fusion form made him unconsciously feel a chill riding up his spine.

"How's the situation in Edge Creek Town now?" Fang Heng asked.

"Well. We don't have enough military forces deployed in Edge Creek Town. Half an hour ago, a group of survivors launched an attack on Edge Creek Town. Commander Roche immediately led a team back to support as soon as he received the news. Perhaps they have already reached Edge Creek Town. But the situation is not optimistic," Osborne said.

"Okay. Do we have any rocket launchers in our base?"

"Yes, we currently have a total of 18 of them."

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes. "Alright. Let's start with them."

As he spoke, a fusion Tyrant form took two steps forward and stood in front of him.

It knelt on one knee and extended its right hand forward.

Fang Heng stepped forward along the Tyrant form's right arm and stood on the Tyrant form's broad and thick shoulder.

"Osborne, take me to the armory," he said.

Osborne raised his head and looked at Fang Heng on the Tyrant form's shoulders. Only then did he react.

"Yes!" Osborne said.

...

Night fell.

The three-meter-tall fusion Tyrant form ran wildly on the main road.

Fang Heng sat on the Tyrant form's broad shoulders.

A cold wind blew across his face.

The Tyrant form had unlimited physical strength. When it ran at full speed, its movement speed was much faster than the speed of a big truck.

In the distance, the sound of gunshots could be heard.

Edge Creek town was engulfed in flames.

Federation's temporary command post was outside Edge Creek Town.

Commander Liang Hucheng calmly commanded the player team to fight.

Just as his superiors had expected, after attacking Dark Knights, the combat strength of the entire Scavenger Army was greatly weakened, and the defensive ability of Edge Creek Town was also greatly reduced.

After more than an hour of continuous attacks, the defense of the periphery of Edge Creek Town had been completely broken through.

Next, they only needed to clean up the remaining resistance fighters of the Scavenger Army in the town.

Edge Creek Town was about to regain peace.

Liang Hucheng was already thinking about how to write a report when he returned and how to get a reward from his superiors.

Boom! Boom!

Just then, two explosions brought Liang Hucheng's attention back.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 446: Actual Combat Test

Liang Hucheng thought, "What's going on?

"Is it the enemy's support?"

He found that the temporary camp was in small-scale chaos.

He said wordlessly, "Rocket launchers!"

Looking in the direction where the rocket launcher was coming from, he was shocked.

He thought, "What's that!"

On a high slope far away from Edge Creek Town, there were two huge black shadows.

Two giant zombies each carried a rocket launcher on their shoulders.

Swish! Swish!

Boom! Boom!

They were continuously firing at the temporary camp with rocket launchers.

Liang Hucheng thought, "Mutated zombies?

"Why are they so big?"

Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

The rocket launchers that landed on the temporary camp directly blew up the temporary camp, greatly reducing the durability of the buildings. In addition, a few unlucky players hit by the rocket launchers died immediately.

After firing more than ten rocket launchers, the two fusion Tyrant forms threw the rocket launchers to the side and rushed towards Federation's temporary camp.

Liang Hucheng thought, "What kind of monster are they!

"Why can they run!"

He was really shocked. He felt cold sweat running down his face.

He had never seen such strange zombies before.

He shouted, "All of you! Gather in formation! Stop them!"

Federation players quickly organized a counterattack. They raised their weapons and started attacking the fusion Tyrant forms rushing towards them from afar.

The fusion Tyrant forms had their arms crossed in front of their chest. They were blocking the front of their eye located at their heart, rushing towards the camp in a frenzy.

The players tried their best to pull the trigger. However, they realized that they could not hurt the two monsters in front of them.

They could only watch as the Tyrant forms rushed towards them.

The non-vulnerable parts of the fusion Tyrant forms had an 85% damage reduction. Their powerful defense almost ignored the attacks of all light weapons.

Boom!

The fusion Tyrant form broke into the temporary camp in less than a minute. They raised their huge fists and smashed straight at the defensive fence outside the temporary camp.

Bang!

The temporary reinforced fence that the players had spent a lot of effort to build was shattered by the fist of the fusion Tyrant forms. Even the player hiding behind the fence was smashed with only a trace of blood left in his health bar. He was directly knocked into a near-death coma.

Liang Hucheng was bewildered.

He thought, "What's going on? Ordinary light weapons are completely ineffective against them?"

They had taken advantage of Edge Creek Town's weak defenses this time. They had expected that Edge Creek Town would not have any reinforcements, so they chose to launch such a surprise attack.

They had not been prepared to deal with a large creature. They had not prepared any heavy weapons beforehand.

They could only try some chemical weapons.

He shouted, "Howitzers! Howitzers! Get ready!

"Attack!"

Boom! Boom!

The howitzers accurately bombarded the body of the fusion Tyrant forms. The parts that were hit by the howitzers immediately evaporated into a white mist.

A foul stench spread out.

The fusion tyrant forms swayed back and froze for a few seconds.

Liang Hucheng thought, "Effective!

"Corrosive damage is effective on them!"

He was delighted.

However, they quickly recovered from the corrosive damage in less than a few seconds. The two fusion Tyrant forms continued to wave their huge fists to attack the temporary defense outside the camp.

Liang Hucheng's eyes were filled with fear.

He realized that the camp's defensive line was like a piece of paper in front of the two mutated zombies.

Liang Hucheng thought, 'Where did these two monsters come from?"

A terrifying thought emerged in Liang Hucheng's mind.

He thought, "Could it be Fang Heng?

"Obviously, they are here to support Scavenger Army in Edge Creek Town.

"Fang Heng can control the Tyrant form, and he is also the new commander of the Scavenger Army.

"Could it be that these two monsters are also under Fang Heng's control?

"If that is the case..."

The deputy commander whispered from the side, "The howitzers have been used up."

"Captain, what should we do? These two monsters are definitely at Tier 5. We can't hold them off."

Liang Hucheng said, "Well..."

He also came back to his senses. He felt indignant and turned to take one last look at Edge Creek Town.

He thought, "What a bummer!

"We are so close to conquering Edge Creek Town!

"D*mn it!"

He wished he could give himself a slap.

He thought, "Stop thinking about Edge Creek Town. The most important thing now is to leave here safely!

"Hope these two creatures both are stupid.

"I hope as many people as possible can escape."

Liang Hucheng immediately gave the order. "Retreat! Immediately split up and retreat!"

Inside Edge Creek Town, Scavenger Army was already on the verge of being unable to hold on.

A large number of Federation players had already broken through the defenses outside and entered the inner part of Edge Creek town.

Roche was ready to accept his fate of death.

But he suddenly discovered that the enemy's offensive had suddenly weakened.

And they even began to retreat orderly.

Roche thought, "What's going on?"

He took a closer look, then he was delighted.

Outside of Edge Creek Town, the temporary camp built by the group of survivors seemed to have been attacked and fell into chaos.

Roche thought, "Could it be that the support team had come?"

He shouted, "Hahaha! Brave fighters! Follow me and rush forward together!"

He raised his head and drank the last bottle of divine potion, trying to reassemble the remaining members of the Scavenger Army and regain control of Edge Creek town.

...

Roche said, "Commander!"

More than ten minutes later, Roche returned to Edge Creek Town with the remaining members of Scavenger Army, only to see Fang Heng standing there alone.

He asked, "Commander, why are you here?"

Roche didn't expect to see Fang Heng here. He looked behind Fang Heng.

Behind him was Federation's temporary camp, which had been reduced to ruins.

He asked, "Just you alone?"

Fang Heng said, "Yes."

Fang Heng was distracted by controlling the fusion Tyrant forms to chase after Federation, so he answered casually.

This was the first time Fang Heng had tried to control the Tyrant forms to chase after the enemy after they could run.

Unfortunately, when Federation retreated, they split into teams and ran in different directions, and they even left a few teams to block the pursuit of the fusion Tyrant forms.

Looking at Fang Heng, Roche could not help but feel a little shocked.

The group of elites following him also felt that it was inconceivable.

They thought, "What was going on? Only Commander Fang Heng alone?

"That group of enemies was all defeated by him alone?"

Fang Heng asked, "How's the situation in Edge Creek Town now?"

He withdrew his gaze from afar and ordered the fusion Tyrant forms to return.

After wiping out four small teams of Federation, the Tyrant forms had completely lost track of the enemy.

Roche said, "Edge Creek Town has suffered serious damage. Fortunately, your support was timely, and at least it wasn't taken away."

He wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth as he spoke. And he instinctively reached out for the warlord potion on his waist, only to find that it had run out.

He said, "Commander, we came back in a hurry. The strategic reserve materials are insufficient."

Fang Heng said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll get Osborne to send over a batch of materials as soon as possible."

He made a rough estimate in his heart.

These two fusion Tyrant forms were Tier 5 mutated zombies.

Just as he had expected, the strength of the fusion Tyrant forms had reached the standard strength of Tier 5 mutated zombies in a field raid combat.

Just by relying on the Tyrant form's passive effect of more than 100 attack attribute and the 85% damage reduction on non-vital parts, they could successfully persuade Federation players to quit.

The test data was still not enough. Fang Heng had not tried out the actual combat effectiveness of the mutant parasite skill.

He was still excited.

Even though it was already very late, he still decided to wait until the test was over before going offline.

Chapter 447: Mutant Worm Parasite

Fang Heng turned his head and glanced in the direction where Liang Hucheng and the others had retreated.

He asked, "Roche, are you familiar with the group that attacked Edge Creek Town? Do you know where their stronghold is?"

Roche said, "I know! That group is in the area next door, about six kilometers away from here. They've come to harass us more than once in the past."

He clenched his teeth when he mentioned Liang Hucheng and his men.

He said, "We let them escape the last few times. I didn't expect that they would take advantage of our lack of guards to launch a sneak attack..."

Fang Heng hummed in agreement.

He said, "Okay, take me there."

A light flashed across Roche's eyes.

He thought, "Commander was going to help us get back at them!"

Suddenly, Roche and the remaining Scavengers Army members felt a burning desire to fight.

They said in unison, "Yes! Commander!"

...

Liang Hucheng returned to the shelter with a group of defeated soldiers.

It was a nightmare.

He felt like he had just experienced a nightmare and risked his life to survive on the battlefield.

He was drenched in sweat.

He was sure that the unknown zombies he had encountered before were definitely Tier 5 mutated zombies.

He changed into a clean set of clothes and immediately returned to the shelter's command post to make arrangements.

He asked, "Have you informed the superiors about the previous battle?"

A Federation soldier said, "Yes, sir. The relevant situation has been reported to our superiors as soon as possible. We are currently gathering a portion of the battlefield footage. Once we are done, we will immediately...

"Report! Anomaly detected outside the shelter!"

Liang Hucheng asked, "What?"

The Federation soldier said, "Anomaly detected! It might be a high-tier zombie."

Then he switched the large screen image to the one captured by the surveillance camera outside the shelter.

He said, "The anomaly location has been placed on the surveillance screen."

On the screen, the camera zoomed out.

Liang Hucheng's eyelids twitched.

He thought, "This..."

He saw the two tall figures once again.

He shouted wordlessly, "That's right! It's them!

"The two Tier 5 mutated zombies I had encountered before!

"They had actually chased us to the shelter!

"I can meet them everywhere!"

Liang Hucheng's expression changed slightly. He was still worried about what just happened, but now he became even more nervous.

He shouted, "Quick! Confirm the zombies' identity!"

The research personnel of the shelter immediately made a comparison, saying, "Confirm they are high-level mutated zombies. There's no match in the database. Their size is similar to an increased version of the Tyrant form zombies.

"They seem to stop there and do not attack.

"Sir, the 2 Tier 5 mutated zombies are still outside the effective range of our shelter. Maybe only a long-range sniper rifle and some heavy weapons can hurt them. Should we attack?"

Liang Hucheng thought, "Attack?

"Of course not!"

He immediately rejected this stupid idea.

He had seen the defensive capabilities of Tier 5 mutated zombies.

Even if the two Tier 5 mutated zombies stood still, they would not be severely damaged at such a distance.

He did not know why the two Tier 5 mutated zombies did not attack.

But it would be even more troublesome if they took the initiative to attack and attract them.

So Liang Hucheng said, "No need. Do not attack for now. Everyone enters an advanced state. Send a distress signal to the nearby shelter and continue to observe!"

Others shouted, "Understand!"

A deputy commander felt uneasy and asked, "Do we need to send a team over to take a look?"

Liang Hucheng said, "No need."

...

Fang Heng was currently by a road approximately less than a kilometer from the shelter.

He jumped off Tyrant's shoulder and observed the shelter that belonged to Federation from afar.

From afar, this was a medium-sized shelter.

In theory, a similar shelter would not be equipped with beam weapons.

Roche also jumped off a fusion Tyrant form's shoulder and followed Fang Heng.

Along the way, Roche was greatly shocked.

This was the first time he discovered that a giant-sized zombie corpse could be used as a driving tool.

After landing, Roche carefully observed the two giant-sized zombie corpses.

He thought, "Are they the ones who wiped out an entire survivor corps?

He unconsciously shifted his gaze to the eyeball on the Tyrant form's chest.

He felt a strong sense of unease and discomfort from the bottom of his heart, so he hurriedly shifted his gaze away from the eyeball.

They waited on the spot for nearly three minutes, but Fang Heng did not move or speak.

Roche could not help but ask, "Commander, are we still waiting for reinforcements?"

Fang Heng remained silent as usual.

Roche frowned. He realized that Fang Heng seemed to be focusing on controlling something and didn't have the time to answer his question.

Suddenly, Roche heard several extremely weak sounds.

They were faint rustling sounds.

Looking in the direction where the sounds came from, Roche couldn't help but swallow.

He thought, "What are those things!"

He squinted at them carefully. Countless dark purple worm bodies about the size of fingernails crawled out from the cracked skin of the two giant-sized zombie corpses.

The purple worm bodies climbed along the zombie corpses' feet to the ground and quickly spread forward.

Roche was suddenly shocked.

He looked in the direction where the worm bodies were spreading. Then he raised his head to look at the shelter ahead.

"Skill: Mutant worm parasite."

Fang Heng was highly concentrated.

Controlling the purple worm bodies that crawled out from the fusion Tyrant forms was very difficult, and it required a lot of energy.

He had to give it his all.

...

Players were still in Federation's medium-sized shelter.

On top of the towering sentry tower, Federation's elite players were fully focused, staring at the two black shadows in the distance.

Ten minutes had passed.

The two black shadows did not move at all.

No one realized that there were countless tiny purple worm bodies on the ground rapidly approaching the camp.

The first batch of worm bodies was climbing up the sentry towers of the defensive line outside the shelter.

Lin Yueping was an elite sniper of Federation, and he gained a powerful long-range shooting talent skill after entering the game.

He had been staring at the two Tier 5 mutated zombies for a long time.

He could not help but mutter to himself, "What exactly are the two monsters..."

Through the scope, he could see the eyeball at the heart of the monsters, and he was scared.

One companion said, "I heard they are Tier 5 mutated zombies. Be careful. They are not that easy to deal with.

Another companion said, "I heard that Scavenger Army created them."

"I'm not sure. But our boss just met them, and he suffered a lot..."

On the sentry tower, Lin Yueping and the other two were staring at the giant-sized zombie corpses in the distance through their scope.

They didn't notice that a purple worm body quickly climbed up the ladder to the sentry tower.

The worm body crawled along the floor to Lin Yueping's feet, climbing up his shoes and crawling into his pants.

Suddenly, Lin Yueping shuddered and cried out in shock.

He shouted, "What's it!"

A game hint quickly flashed across his eyes.

"Hint: You have been attacked by an unknown worm body, receiving two points of damage."

"Hint: Your infection index has increased slightly."

"Hint: You have been attacked by an unknown worm body."

Lin Yueping felt something crawl into his pants. The red warning hint he saw confirmed that he was in trouble.

The other two companions on the sentry tower asked, "What's Wrong?"

They were puzzled, putting down their sniper rifle and looking at Lin Yueping.

Lin Yueping said, "There's something crawled up my leg..."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 448: Infection

Lin Yueping frowned. As he spoke, he immediately took out a combat knife from his backpack and cut open the hem of his pants.

"What's that?"

After tearing open the leg of his pants, they saw a tiny purple bug on Lin Yueping's shin!

The sharp mouthpart of the bug had produced a long and thin cut on the skin of Lin Yueping's shin.

Dark red blood oozed out from the wound.

Lin Yueping felt a chill in his heart.

One of his companions saw this and immediately reached out to grab the insect and tried to pinch it to death.

However, in the next second, the insect seemed to have sensed the danger ahead of time and actually drilled into the wound.

In a flash, a small lump appeared on the skin of Lin Yueping's shin.

"Hiss!"

The other two companions could not help but be startled when they saw this, and they gasped.

The lump was visibly moving along his chin at a fast speed, then it entered his abdomen, and disappeared.

Both of them looked at Lin Yueping at the same time, their faces filled with horror.

Lin Yueping's face was even paler than before.

The game Hint kept flashing by.

"Hint: an unknown mutated insect is attempting to parasitize you"

"Hint: your infection has increased significantly... please be careful!"

"Hint: the unknown bug is attempting to control your central nervous system"

"Hint (obtained from low-level game difficulty) : Based on your various basic attribute, your central nervous system will be infected by the unknown bug within 28 seconds. You can choose to consume 1,500 survival points and gain an additional 180 seconds to protect your central nervous system from being infected."

"Hint: you have consumed 1,500 survival points. Please find a way to remove the infected parasite from your body as soon as possible."

In an instant, Lin Yueping's face turned ghastly white.

The other two companions also looked at him in shock.

"What should we do?"

"What did the game Hint say?"

Lin Yueping opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly, his pupils dilated several times.

He saw something even more terrifying and raised his hand forward.

"Be careful!"

In the next second, they heard an extremely soft sound of friction.

It was like a squirming worm.

The two of them instinctively turned around and looked in the direction that Lin Yueping was pointing at.

More tiny purple worms climbed up the wall of the sentry tower and quickly gathered towards the three of them.

"What the hell? !"

"Stay back! Stay back!"

Bang! Bang!

In desperation, the two immediately fired, trying to kill the tiny purple worms.

...

In the command headquarters of the shelter, Liang Hucheng was still anxiously waiting for reinforcements.

A gunshot broke the silence of the night.

Liang Hucheng was shocked and immediately looked out of the window.

He noticed that something seemed to have happened at a sentry tower outside.

"What's going on over there? Why are they shooting?"

"Trying to contact the communicator."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of loud cries for help came from the communicator.

"Bugs! Where did the bugs come from!"

"Infection! Kill them quickly! They will spread the zombie virus!"

Liang Hucheng suddenly had an extremely ominous feeling. He immediately pressed the communication button and shouted into the microphone,"What Bug? Be clear!"

"Purple Bug! Bug! He crawled into Hua Hongliang's body!"

"Da*n it!"

"Bang, Bang, Bang..."

"Zombie transformation! He's infected by the zombie virus...!"

The communication device was soon filled with screams and gunshots.

Liang Hucheng looked out of the window again.

In a few seconds, gunshots were heard from almost all the sentry tower.

The sentry tower inside the shelter was in chaos!

However, from the point of view of their command center, the Sentry Tower did not receive any attack from the outside!

Liang Hucheng felt a chill on his back.

He did not even know where the danger came from!

The enemy's shadow was still far away and did not move. The defense of the Sentry Tower of the shelter had been declared to have fallen.

What should they do next?

Soon, after occupying the sentry tower, the purple worms climbed up the wall behind them.

Ordinary automatic cannons could not detect the tiny worms. They easily broke through the periphery of the defense line, climbed up the wall, and entered the bodies of Federation soldier on the wall..

In the blink of an eye, the shouts and gunshots spread to the defense line of the city wall.

The entire shelter fell into chaos in an instant.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

In the command room, Federation soldiers looked at each other.

No one answered. They all saw the fear in their eyes.

In the silence, one of the soldiers suddenly changed his expression and said,"Sir, there's something wrong with the Tier-5 zombie."

Liang Hucheng's eyes widened in shock, and he turned to look at the big screen.

The two black shadows in the distance began to move.

At this time, the entire shelter was in chaos. They had no time to deal with the two tyrant form!

...

"Hint: your mutant body has completed parasitizing and has taken control of the central nervous system."

"Hint: you have gained control of the parasite... the host's level has been determined — low-level life form, no skills, basic infection ability."

"Hint: your mental strength has been used up, you can no longer control it."

"Hint: forcefully using mental strength to control it will cause a backlash, please be careful."

He felt dizzy.

Fang Heng took a deep breath and gulped down a bottle of coffee.

The good news was that both players and NPCs would become zombies after being infected by the mutated insects!

Although their attribute was no different from the low-level ordinary zombies outside, they came with an additional infection index to their attack.

The tricky part was that Fang Heng found it very difficult to control them.

Under normal circumstances, controlling the fusion of the tyrant form did not require much mental strength.

However, controlling the purple worm that crawled out of the fusion of the tyrant form required a lot of mental strength. As for controlling the zombie body that was controlled by the mutant worm, it required ten times more mental strength than controlling the mutant worm!

Fang Heng realized that his mental strength, which he had never used since entering the game, had been reduced to 0.

After several attempts, Fang Heng chose to temporarily give up.

"Never mind."

He decided to take a step back so that he did not have to control the zombies that were infected by the mutant worm. Then he only needed to give them an attack order when he wanted.

The ability of mutant worm parasite had already exceeded Fang Heng's expectations.

It was simply too good!

"Commander."

Roche, who had watched the whole battle, twitched his lips.

For the first time, he felt fear from Fang Heng.

It was the person in front of him!

He had seen Fang Heng control two mutated zombies and easily turn the entire shelter into ruins.

Only a zombie team was left in the ruins..

Fang Heng slowly looked away.

"Roche, since you're here, why don't you clean up the place? You know this area well, right? Take me to the next shelter."

"Yes!"

Chapter 449: New Developments

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Fang Heng lay on his bed and stretched his arms.

The strength of the fusion with the tyrant form was much better than he had expected!

Last night, he had spent the entire night in twelve small and medium-sized shelters. It was not until dawn that he finally stopped and went offline to rest.

Perhaps it was because controlling the mutant body consumed too much of his spirit, Fang Heng still felt his head swell after he woke up.

He sat on the bed with his legs tucked up under him and meditated for a moment. Then he felt the uncomfortable feeling gradually ebbing away.

After getting up and putting on his coat, Fang Heng was ready to go find something to eat.

Just as he left the room, Xiao Ruoruo and Mo Yunxiao walked over from the other end of the pathway.

"Brother Fang Heng."

"Hi, how are you?"

Fang Heng saw the two of them and waved to greet them."Are you going out?"

"Yes, I'm meeting a friend. I'll bring Ruoruo over to visit her. It might be helpful for her recovery. "Mo Yunxiao nodded, then he continued, "It's quite a commotion. It seems that you already have a plan, right?"

"Sorry? What?"

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment and did not understand.

"It's okay. Just do what you think is right. If you need help, I'll be there."

Mo Yunxiao patted Fang Heng on the shoulder.

"Good luck. I know you will fight till the very end."

"Good luck, brother Fang Heng."

"What was going on? Was it a compliment?"Fang Heng thought.

Fang Heng was baffled. Before he could ask, a loud voice came from the end of the pathway.

"Genius, something big has just happened!"

From far away, Mo Jiawei shouted excitedly and ran from the other side of the pathway.

"Good news! There's news on the first-generation meteorite research in District 8!"

He just taked about First-generation meteorite!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Counting his fingers, it had been more than five days since he left.

"Alright, I'll prepare the devices. Five minutes later, activate the space-time rift and take me back to District 8."

"No problem!"

...

After returning to District 8, Fang Heng Handed Qiu Yaokang a stack of file information from his space-time jump backpack.

"What's this?"

"The research report and preliminary experimental analysis report on the Hila tissue. Professor Ding Min is in charge of conducting the experiment."Fang Heng Thought for a moment, he added,"Professor Ding Min is quit a peach. I think the two of you will get along well."

"The research report on the Hila Organization..."

Qiu Yaokang muttered and immediately opened the file to flip through it. He immersed himself reading as if there was no one else around.

A row of game Hints flashed in front of Fang Heng.

"Hint: Your Shelter has obtained a report on Hila's experiment. You have obtained 10,000 contribution points from District 8's main task."

"Hint: Your Shelter has opened a special research project-Hila's experiment."

"Hint: you need to obtain more information to unlock the world's main storyline ending."

"Fang Heng, take this."

Beside him, Mo Jiawei threw a pack of facial masks that he had prepared earlier to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng raised his hand to take the mask.

"Item:Deep Blue Enigma-sample (female outfit)"

"Description: an epoch-making facial mask sample developed by the meteorite company. It is made from pure natural ingredients. It is made from the essence of deep-sea seaweed. Fusion with the latest negative ion pore repair technology, it can deeply repair the skin..."

"Effect:It gives a female a chance to increase her favorability rating. Can Restore 3 points of satiety when in a crisis.

"Thanks."

The dark blue mystery mask could not be found in District 7, which had lost its doomsday decades ago. It could only be found in District 8, which had just entered the world of zombie apocalypse.

Fang Heng realized that S-rank characters always came with some quirks.

Qiu Yaokang was a decent character. He would be satisfied with a little experimental research.

However, Ding Min was a troublesome character.

As long as she stayed up all night, her loyalty would drop.

Right now, he still had to rely on her to nurture the unknown bug body solution. He hoped that the mask could more or less replenish her loyalty.

"Haha, genius, I didn't expect that this thing would be so hard to find. I finally bought it from a player. Which Beautiful Lady are you going to give it to?"

Mo Jiawei came over with a smile and winked at Fang Heng.

"Let me guess, is it for Lucia?"

Fang Heng was stunned.

"Lucia also needs it? has she been staying up late recently?"

"Probably because she's a little excited these two days."

"Huh?"

"A few days ago, Lucia kept coming to look for you. She chased me and asked me if I had hidden you. Well how can I convince her?"

As he thought of the shiny knife in Lucia's hand, Mo Jiawei couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"I was busy looking for a facial mask at that time, but I didn't tell her. She probably heard that I was looking for a facial mask and thought that it was you who prepared a birthday present for her..."

Fang Heng looked at Mo Jiawei suspiciously.

"It didn't make sense. Lucia has always been so careless, how would she come to such a conclusion?" Fang Heng thought.

"Could it be that Mo Jiawei was telling her things in order to ruin my name?"

"Er... genius, what's this about? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Are you giving this to another woman?"

"It's nothing..."

Fang Heng quietly put away the mask.

When he went offline, he would ask the butler, Uncle Sun, to see if he could give Lucia something in the real world.

If it didn't work, he could give her two fusion Tyrant form to make it up to her.

Qiu Yaokang put away the experiment report and asked,"Fang Heng, are all the experiment logs here?"

"Yes, that's what we have now so far. How is it? Did you find anything?"

"I'd like to meet Dr. Ding Min."Qiu Yaokang nodded."Her experiment design is perfect."

"Well..."

Fang Heng coughed lightly and asked, "I'm referring to the experiment of Hila's organization."

"There's nothing. We can continue the research according to her experiment design process. Without the relevant sample, I can't find any clues about Hila's experiment."

Victor had just completed the preliminary maintenance of the large-scale space tearing device when he heard the conversation between the three of them.

"Fang Heng, we've already tried to gather clues about Hila's experiment the last time you asked us. We still haven't found any information related to the fallout shelter of the meteorite company."

"In addition, I've checked the blueprints you gave me in detail. The initial construction was completed last night, but in the actual use process, we didn't find any signal that contained the metal box of Hila's organization."

Fang Heng was puzzled and asked,"You can't find the signal of the magnetic field? is the search area not wide enough?"

"It's not like that. I think there's a problem with the frequency of the magnetic field. We can't find the corresponding metal box."

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

The metal box of the meteorite company in District 7 and District 8 was slightly different, so they couldn't use this bug?

It prevented the first-generation meteorite from being destroyed in the research, so the mystery box was also hidden?

Fang Heng felt a little confused.

"I will continue to follow up on the Hila organization's experiment. We will search for clues about the meteorite company's fallout shelter. Currently, we lack Hila organization cells, so it will be difficult for us to make substantial progress in our research. It will only waste manpower and material resources."

Qiu Yaokang said as he carefully collected the information about the Hila experiment.

"Now, we have more important things to do. There has been a breakthrough in the research of the first-generation meteorite. David is still waiting for us. Let's go meet him."

"The portal is ready."

Chapter 450: Vaccines

Fang Heng and the other two arrived at the headquarters of the Dark Knights through the portal.

David and a group of elite dark knights were waiting for Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng."

David went forward and gave Fang Heng a warm hug. His eyes were shining with irresistible excitement.

"Finally you're here. I guarantee that our research findings will definitely surprise you!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Come on, follow me."

David led Qiu Yaokang and the other two to put on thick protective isolation suits. After sterilizing them, they arrived at the underground secret research room located in the headquarters.

The first generation meteorites were placed behind the tempered glass.

"With the help of Mr. Qiu Yaokang, we have been researching and developing the first generation meteorites. Overall, the current progress is gratifying. Through the analysis of the sample of the first generation meteorites, we have successfully developed a vaccine for the primogenitor virus."

Fang Heng's eyes widened, then he turned to look at Qiu Yaokang.

"Vaccine?" he thought.

"It developed so fast!?"

Mo Jiawei also looked at Qiu Yaokang in surprise.

"Develop a vaccine? Did it mean that they could successfully complete the main task of District 8?"

Qiu Yaokang looked indifferent.

Developing a vaccine was quite an ordinary thing to him.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Qiu Yaokang. Let me introduce the situation of the vaccine."

David suppressed the excitement in his heart, he continued to explain,"The vaccine can work against the primogenitor virus. Theoretically, all the zombie virus that we know of are mutated from the primogenitor virus. The vaccine that we developed can have a positive effect on the virus."

"We have carried out clinical trials. The effect is significant. After the vaccine is injected, the human body can be completely immune to the infection of the zombie virus for a period of time."

Qiu yaokang continued,"But now is not the time to celebrate. This is only theoretically possible. There are still great risks in the actual process."

"Risks?"

"Yes." David turned to look at Fang Heng."Since the outbreak of the zombie crisis, there has been a problem that has been troubling all the research personel in the world."

"I don't know if you have realized it, but the number of zombies in the zombie team is still increasing."

"Every day, countless corpses that have been dead for many years are resurrected from the ground. The resurrected zombies are indeed infected with the zombie virus, but their zombie transformation process is hard to explain with the zombie virus theory. After all, they have never been exposed to the zombie virus."

Fang Heng glanced at Mo Jiawei, who also looked back at Fang Heng.

The players had discovered this bizarre situation a long time ago.

If not for the fact that a large number of zombies were resurrected from the ground every day, it would have been possible to kill all the zombies wandering around the world with the player's strength.

However, the player would not think too much about such a situation.

They simply attributed this to a simple rule.

It was the game settings.

It was just like the Blood Moon.

For a long time, the game system would give a Hint of the Blood Moon's arrival in advance.

Almost no player would think about how the Blood Moon came into being.

When it came to the NPCs, they felt that the Blood Moon and the zombie team were very strange.

Fang Heng was thinking about how to explain the problem to them when Qiu Yaokang said, "Some time ago, I conducted a new test and research on the zombie team that resurrected from the underground."

"I found traces of the primogenitor virus in their bodies."

Fang Heng stopped talking and asked in surprise,"Are you saying that the zombies that crawled out of the underground were infected with the primogenitor virus?"

"Yes, it's very strange. How did the primogenitor virus infect the corpse buried deep underground?"

Qiu Yaokang said in a deep voice, "After several tests, I came to a conclusion that the ground under our feet was contaminated."

Fang Heng frowned.

He felt that something was wrong.

After listening for a long time, Mo Jiawei couldn't help but say, "But, Qiu, I still don't understand. What does this have to do with us?" "Haven't we already developed a vaccine?" "Since the vaccine is effective against the primogenitor virus, what risks are there?" "Why don't we just inject the vaccine together?"

"That's what I'm going to explain next."

"Injecting the vaccine into the human body is only a cure for the symptoms, not the root cause. Only by finding a way to stop the zombies that emerged from the underground can we completely solve the crisis of the human race."

"According to what I said before, the polluted land is the source of the rising of the dead that are buried deep underground."

"We have to find a way to solve the root cause."

"Ideally, the vaccine we have developed can directly destroy the virus. With sufficient doses of the vaccine, we can purify the polluted land, stop the zombie transformation of the dead, and restore peace to the world."

Mo Jiawei clapped his hands, "Then what are we waiting for? Mass production! What materials do we need? We'll go and help collect them now."

"It's not that simple. The primogenitor virus is very unstable, which is why it split into T virus, G virus, and other virus bodies. The vaccine we developed is still very unstable."

"To be precise, the vaccine still has a huge safety risk. A large-scale spread of the vaccine may lead to further evolution of the virus body. In extreme cases, a large number of evolved mutated zombie will be resurrected from the contaminated land every day."

Fang Heng finally understood.

After a long time, this vaccine was still a half-finished product with risks.

One after another, game Hints flashed past Fang Heng's retina.

"Hint: player has completed the current phase of the mission with the Dark Knights — first-generation meteorite research"

"Hint: player's behavior has changed the game process, and is in the process of correction..."

"Hint: correction completed. Player has received 20,000 District 8 main storyline contribution points."

"Hint: player has received 12,000 Dark Knights contribution points. Player's Dark Knights'honor level has been raised to LV: 23. Vice-commander."

"Fang Heng, no matter what, we were able to develop the vaccine body largely because of your help all this time. On behalf of the Dark Knights, we thank you for your contribution to saving the world. The commander has personally appointed you as the vice-commander of the Dark Knights."

As he spoke, David's expression turned solemn. He saluted Fang Heng and said,"Commander Fang Heng!"

"Uh... well, thank you..."

Fang Heng's expression was a little awkward.

He thought about how he had just destroyed the branch of the Dark Knights in District 7, and then became the vice-commander of the Dark Knights in District 8.

He was really confused.

"The Night Owl organization would not be so stupid as to kill the commander of the Dark Knights, right?" he thought.

"Fang Heng, we are now divided on what we should do next. Should we use the unstable vaccine immediately or wait a little longer? We should develop and observe it for a while more and analyze it for a while more to ensure the safety of the vaccine."

Chapter 451: Make a Choice

"Commander believes that you know the whole process of vaccine development the best. So he hopes you can make the decision. No matter what the final outcome is, we will bear the consequences together and do our best to save this world."

"Hint: You have triggered the mission of the next stage, the eighteenth stage ring mission, the unstable vaccine."

"Mission Name: The unstable vaccine.

Mission Description: With your help, Dark Knights have finished the unstable vaccine by developing the first-generation meteorite. This vaccine may cause mutation of the first-generation virus, or it may completely eliminate the zombie virus and make this world return to peace.

Mission Requirements: Please make your choice.

"Hint: Your choice will greatly affect the follow-up storyline of the game. Please think carefully before making a choice."

Fang Heng looked at the game hint and stroked his chin.

He had to make a choice?

That meant he had to bet on the probability?

Come on!

Fang Heng thought that he would encounter trouble later no matter what his choice was. It was nothing more than a choice between the easy and the challenging levels.

Choosing to release the vaccine seemed more uncontrollable, and the risk factor was higher.

"Genius, why don't you make a safer choice?"

Mo Jiawei suggested reducing the risk.

He had a clear mind.

In comparison, Fang Heng had put so much effort into District 7 for a long time and even discovered something about the hila experiment. Yet he still hadn't completed the mission.

However, there hadn't been any news about the hila experiment in District 8 yet. How could they save the world just like that?

Obviously, there was a trap!

Fang Heng did not make any decision immediately. Instead, he asked, "If we choose to shelve the vaccine release for now, how long will it take us to obtain the vaccine that is confirmed to be safe?"

Everyone present turned their gazes to Qiu Yaokang simultaneously.

"It's hard to say. There are too many factors that can affect the vaccine's development. A single mutation could change everything. It could be a year or countless decades."

Fang Heng's heart sank.

He also wanted to reduce the risk, but there wasn't enough time.

Fang Heng would be exposed on the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings of District 8 in one and a half days.

Even if he spent all his King of Gods' points delaying his exposure, there would be another week at the most.

On the day he was exposed, Night Owl organization would find out that District 8 had restarted the main storyline mission.

They would likely continue to make trouble.

Besides, there were also the gaming unions and Federation in District 8.

Even Kou Huai from District 7 would interfere and cause him some trouble.

At that time, the secret that he had possessed Tier 3 space tearing device might also be exposed to the outsiders.

The more Fang Heng thought about it, the more he felt bothered.

He could almost foresee many troublesome things that would happen soon.

He had to hurry up!

Fang Heng felt that he had to make a risky choice.

Although he had a feeling that it would be a trap, he had no choice but to jump in.

Fang Heng decided to struggle a little more.

"How about we make a compromise between the two options? What if we set up a small area for testing?"

David was very conflicted. He said, "It's quite difficult to control the mutations. Testing in a small area is not meaningful. We have to at least expand the test to the entire region. But this way, the released vaccine viruses will spread through the air, water, and soil. Then we'll probably lose control of the whole process."

Qiu Yaokang shook his head and said, "No, we can get more information and optimize the vaccine only if we test in a large area."

"But it's too risky."

David was worried. He continued, "If any accident happens, the virus will mutate after being stimulated. It's likely to cause the vaccine to fail. Also, the zombie virus will possibly evolve into a super virus. By then, we might even destroy the world with our own hands."

"There is indeed such a possibility, but I think it's the most effective choice if we bet on it. Otherwise, we might not have any breakthrough even if we spend ten years," Qiu Yaokang said. "Fang Heng, this is up to you. What do you think?"

Fang Heng was in a dilemma.

What should he do?

They were both traps.

He could only choose a shallow one.

Fang Heng scratched his hair, feeling a little upset.

He was about to answer when a thought flashed through his mind.

"Wait a minute, Qiu Yaokang. In fact, we only need to get the test data of the released vaccines before optimizing them, right?"

David puzzlingly said, "But, Fang Heng, we have to carry out a large-scale test to get the data, and the test will have a probability of mutation."

Qiu Yaokang raised his eyebrows. He vaguely understood the hidden meaning of what Fang Heng said.

"Fang Heng, do you mean the parallel world?"

"Yes!"

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Since it's too dangerous to test the vaccine here, I can do it in the parallel world. I believe that they will be very willing to help me."

"That's right! We can carry the risk to District 7!"

Hearing that, Mo Jiawei shouted out loud and clapped his hands.

He thought Fang Heng's idea was absolutely brilliant.

If they threw the vaccine into District 7, the worst outcome would be the destruction of that district, and Federation would be screwed.

However, they would be able to collect the relevant information about the vaccine in District 7.

Suppose they were lucky that the vaccine solved the zombie virus problem. In that case, Fang Heng could earn a large number of main storyline contribution points and immediately complete the main storyline in District 7. Then he could occupy that district.

It would be a sure win anyway!

Qiu Yaokang closed his eyes and carefully considered the plan proposed by Fang Heng. He nodded and said, "Your plan is theoretically feasible."

"But..." David was a little hesitant. "But the unstable vaccine might also have a destructive effect on the parallel world. Shouldn't we first communicate with Dark Knights in that world?"

Fang Heng felt rather guilty.

He thought to himself, "Just forget about Dark Knights in District 7."

They were now enemies.

"I'll go and communicate with them. David, that world is terrible. We have to hurry. This is the best way to save the world."

"Okay."

David stopped insisting.

Qiu Yaokang nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get someone to organize the information and give you a sample of the vaccine and its production method. I need to follow up on the research plan in real time and get all information related to the vaccine immediately."

"That means I have to deliver the message between District 7 and District 8 every day, right?"

Fang Heng rubbed his shoulder and agreed.

"Well, okay."

Then, there was a question in Fang Heng's mind.

"After getting the vaccine, should I throw it to District 5 or 7?

Should I take the risk to Federation in District 7 or the anti-Federal organizations in District 5?"

After a short thought, Fang Heng had an answer.

"Go to District 7!"

District 5 lacked a research room. He could hardly complete the vaccine production, experimental materials sample collection, and sample analysis of the final experiment in a short time.

Yet, he could use the strength of Scavenger Army in District 7.

Considering the time, he knew the best choice was to go to District 7.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 452: The Fourth Stage

Federation headquarters in District 7.

Everyone was silent.

Overnight, the five shelters under Federation in the White Horse River region were attacked by the fusion Tyrant forms and were utterly destroyed.

"This is the report from the headquarters just now."

The head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, passed down the file. He said in a deep voice, "Based on the images we obtained last night, we can now confirm that District 7 has entered the fourth stage in the game, the mutant worm form diffusion stage.

It was the high-level mutated zombies who attacked the shelter last night. They were a fusion of zombies and mutant worms."

While the commanders were reading the report, Xiao Changle continued to explain.

"The fusion mutant worm form zombie was modified according to the Nemesis Plan of the previous Meteorite Company. Its strength is close to Tier 5. In addition, the mutated zombie has a skill that is difficult for us to deal with. It can reproduce the mutant worms."

The picture on the big screen in the meeting room was switched to a photo of purple worms.

"As you can see, the fusion mutant worm form zombies can spread such tiny worms.

These worms are very dangerous. They can quickly infect the players in a short time. Due to their small size, they can even easily bypass the defensive settings outside the players' shelter and directly attack the players guarding inside.

This kind of attack mode is rather challenging to guard against."

As Kou Huai quickly flipped through the report, the veins on his forehead bulged.

It was the fourth stage of the game!

In the game's history, only one server had experienced the fourth stage, which was some game region that had been destroyed!

During the fourth stage, the entire server had been destroyed. The zombie apocalypse world had also completely disappeared, and all the players had died.

For some unknown reason, Federation had blocked all relevant information about that incident.

Because of this, information about the fusion mutant worm form zombie had always been confidential.

Kou Huai realized that the situation was difficult.

It had been a battle between him and Fang Heng.

Why was the entire District 7 going to be destroyed?

Especially this morning, he had received a total of eight calls from different superior departments.

Right now, the entire elementary game command post of the game world was paying attention to District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse.

This was the first time Kou Huai had received such attention from his superiors.

"Xiao Changle, you have explained in your report that theoretically, Cook Barn will be able to develop fusion mutant worm form zombies only after Scavenger Army developed to a certain scale. How could this happen now? Why have they appeared now, and we're suddenly on the fourth stage?"

Faced with the questions, Xiao Changle felt bitter.

He lowered his head and said, "This is not what the intelligence department expected."

Kou Huai took a deep breath and held back his anger. "So, Fang Heng paid so much effort to capture Dark Knights just to obtain mutant worm form Zombies?"

What else could Xiao Changle say?

Facing the questions that he could not answer, Xiao Changle decided to keep lowering his head constantly.

"I'm sorry. I can't answer you without the relevant information."

"So what the h*ll do you know? I think the intelligence department of Federation can be just abolished!"

Kou Huai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

The intelligence department of Federation was really useless!

Ever since he started to battle with Fang Heng, he had clearly had the overall advantage. He had thought he could crush Fang Heng with a single slap, but it turned out he was constantly fooled by Fang Heng!

In terms of intelligence, Fang Heng was always one step ahead of them.

Now, Fang Heng had already turned the tables.

He had even begun to think of ways to destroy District 7!

"Let me ask you, what should we do now? Is there any way to deal with those worms?"

"We are researching it currently." Xiao Changle lowered his head, not daring to look at Kou Huai at all. "I think we can use Dark Knights' strength to research the mutant worms and try to develop a vaccine that can target the mutant worms."

"How long will it take?"

Xiao Changle's head was even lower.

He did not dare to answer Kou Huai's question.

It would take at least a month, even under the optimistic estimation.

He was afraid that he would be instantly beaten to death if he answered this way.

"I'm asking you!"

"I don't know yet..."

...

It was about to get dark.

Osborne was in the fortress in the abandoned mine area that had been occupied by Scavenger Army not long ago.

He stood outside the door of the hall on the second floor underground, leaning against the wall and gently rubbing his temples.

Too many things had happened in the short 48 hours since the new leader took over Scavenger Army.

Fang Heng developed the warlord potion, attacked Dark Knights' branch, and found the secret box of Meteorite Company...

Last night, he even completed the research and development test for the fusion tyrant form.

Fang Heng had created too many miracles.

It felt like a dream.

Osborne was also forced to bustle about with Fang Heng all day long.

Until now, he finally had a moment to rest.

With a "ding", the door of the elevator at the end of the hallway opened. Ni Shengtao walked out with a delighted look. He walked straight to the hall.

"Is Boss inside?"

"Yes, he's in the hall," Osborne replied. "He did a test for the fusion tyrant form last night and just came back this morning. Then he has been staying in the hall. He told us not to disturb him unless it's an emergency."

Ni Shengtao was greatly surprised.

"What? The fusion tyrant form? Is it the modified Tyrant form experiment left behind by Mr. Cook?"

"Yes."

The fusion tyrant form was a great weapon left behind by Cook Barn.

With it, their Scavenger Army's strength would be significantly improved!

Ni Shengtao was excited and immediately asked, "How's he doing? How is the situation of the test?"

"Last night, he cleared a total of fourteen small and medium-sized shelters."

"Fourteen?!"

Ni Shengtao's eyes widened.

He even suspected that he had heard wrong.

How could the fusion tyrant form be so powerful?!

"Yeah, fourteen. The preliminary test results are perfect."

Osborne did not like Ni Shengtao's exaggerated reaction, even though he was also shocked when he had just heard this news.

Osborne continued to ask, "Why are you here? Anything to report?"

"Yes." Ni Shengtao slightly adjusted his excited mood. Then he continued, "I have to report something unusual to Boss. There has been a mutant worm attack in the nearby White Horse River region. Many survivors' shelters have been attacked by the mutant worms, almost all wiped out. Now, all the survivors' shelters are in a panic.

This is good news for us, isn't it? I've asked someone to test it. Just like the zombie virus, the members of Scavenger Army will not be attacked by the mutant worms."

Ni Shengtao's eyes flashed with excitement. "With this opportunity and Boss's newly developed fusion tyrant form, we can quickly expand our territory and occupy the White Horse River region."

Mutant worms? The White Horse River region?

Fang Heng seemed to have gone to the White Horse River region to test the fusion tyrant form last night, right?

Osborne was puzzled. He nodded and said, "I hope so."

Chapter 453: Panic Over the Swarm of Worm Bodies

The continuous stream of good news made Ni Shengtao happy. He imitated Osborne and half leaned against the wall on the other side. He asked, "What about you? Are you guarding here?"

"No, I just came back not long ago. I just got the first batch of recruits from the army. I need to confirm it with the commander."

Osborne shook his head as he spoke, "In addition, our current situation is not as optimistic as you think. Our army has been attacked by many small-scale survivor teams. They are targeting our supply lines, and their movements are unusually agile. In the past two days, we have already received hundreds of reports of attacks. To a large extent, it has affected the transportation of supply. It is very troublesome."

"Don't worry. I have a feeling that the commander will find a way. He will definitely bring us to the end of this f*cking world."

As Ni Shengtao spoke, he looked at the tightly shut door behind him. "What is the commander doing inside?"

"I'm not sure."

As the two of them were talking, a crack appeared in the tightly shut door.

Fang Heng poked his head out of the door and immediately saw the two of them standing outside.

"Eh? You're both here?"

"Commander, we have something to report to you."

"Good, I also have something to talk to you about. Come in the hall."

As he spoke, Fang Heng pushed open the hall's door.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne did not suspect him and stepped into the basement hall together.

However, just as they stepped into the hall, Osborne and Ni Shengtao were stunned.

The two of them looked at each other in shock.

What was going on?

The repair of the space tearing device was completed?

In the center of the hall, the large-scale space tearing device was emitting circles of blue ripples.

The most advanced technology of the Meteorite Company, the former commander of the company, Cook Barn, had tried every possible means to replicate a large-scale space tearing device countless times but failed...

And now... Fang Heng could actually repair it?

How many things could he do in just 48 hours?

Ni Shengtao turned around and gave Osborne a look. "Repair the space tearing device? Isn't he a potioneer?"

After the initial shock, Osborne responded to Ni Shengtao's look and nodded to him, giving him a look.

"A mechanical builder who can develop the fusion Tyrant form is a qualified potioneer."

There were too many secrets about the commander, and Osborne was already used to it.

Fang Heng stood in front of the large-scale space tearing device.

He was in a good mood.

The third step of the Federation's counterattack plan, the repair of the space tearing device, was completed!

With the space tearing device, he was finally not fighting alone. He could contact the Leftway Gaming Guild in the outside world.

Fang Heng already had a good plan for the follow-up.

Next, he would first go to the Leftway Gaming Guild's base to build a branch space tearing device teleportation point, then build a magnetic field sensing tower to expand the magnetic field sensing range. He would think of a way to search for more Hila organization samples, and he would increase the number of modifications for the fusion Tyrant form and increase his overall strength...

As for the Federation, he did not have the time to deal with them right now...

In order to prevent them from causing damage, he had to give them some trouble.

Coincidentally, the vaccine in District 8 was a good plan.

First, they had to think of a way to mass-produce vaccine antibodies and spread them out in the rear area of the Federation. Most likely, the vaccine might produce unknown consequences, disrupt the Federation's layout, and slow them down...

Therefore, before he went to look for the guild leader of the Leftway Guild, Tian Zhen, he had to go back to the Scavenger Army headquarters and build a branch teleportation point. Then, he had to get Ding Min to speed up the mass production of the vaccine potion...

It should be about time.

"Commander, we've already completed the first batch of recruitment. This is the recruitment list."

Osborne took a step forward and handed the list to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and put away the list.

He was going to ask Chen Yu and Tian Zhen to look into it and see if there were any players mixed in.

Osborne continued to report, "In addition, the shelter has been attacked by various small-scale shelter teams over the past two days. Our supply line has been greatly restricted."

"Hmm..."

Fang Heng had also heard about the news that the Federation released two days ago.

The Federation had called on the players to work together to deal with the Scavenger Army. Once they succeeded in causing damage to the Scavenger Army, they would give rewards and war damage compensation.

Many players were blinded by the benefits in front of their eyes.

They did not have the ability to attack the Scavenger Army's base camp directly, but they could still cause trouble for Fang Heng's supply line.

The small-scale enemy attack and harassment tactics organized by the player teams were very troublesome.

They would bring great pressure to the Scavenger Army's logistics. As time went on, the warlord potions and divine potions at the front line couldn't be replenished. At that time, the team's strength and morale would be greatly reduced. It was even possible to be wiped out.

The Federation still had a way to play dirty.

Fang Heng felt that this problem was a bit troublesome, and he didn't have a good idea for the time being.

He also didn't have the time and energy to deal with those players one by one.

"Hmm, for the time being, strengthen the guard team and strengthen the defense of the supply line. I'll think of a way to solve this problem."

"Yes, understood."

Ni Shengtao also reported to Fang Heng, "Mr. Fang Heng, I've received news that there was an obvious anomaly in the White Horse River region last night. A large number of worm bodies have appeared. These mutant worm bodies have caused great damage to a large portion of the survivors' shelter in the White Horse River region. I think now is the best time to act."

Hearing this, Fang Heng was stunned.

Unknown worm bodies?

The White Horse River region?

Why did these two names sound familiar?

Fang Heng opened the game log and flipped through a few pages.

[Hint: Your mutated worm body has launched an attack, causing 3-point damage.]

[Hint: Your mutated worm body has received fatal damage. It died]

[Hint: Your mutated worm body is attempting to parasitize.]

[Hint: Your mutated worm body has completed the central nervous system infection...]

There were thousands of game hints in a row.

Only then did Fang Heng realize that the 1,000 purple mutant worms that he had used the fusion Tyrant form skill to release last night were not all dead.

After he went offline, the mutant worm bodies that were on standby began to wander aimlessly in the White Horse River region, trying to parasitize anyone they met.

A day passed.

The players in the White Horse River region were miserable. There were even two shelters that almost completely fell because of the worm bodies!

The mutant worm bodies could actually be so strong?

Fang Heng stroked his chin and began to think.

At present, including the proliferator, he could have a maximum of eight fusion Tyrant forms.

In other words, under ideal conditions, he could produce 400 small mutant worm bodies per hour.

Perhaps he could let the small worm bodies go to the Federation's frontline shelter to play and cause more chaos for them?

The plan was working!

Fang Heng's eyes were burning. He raised his head and said, "Ni Shengtao, don't make any moves for now."

"Let's wait for a while more and gather a team to protect the logistics team. Recently, I have a batch of important materials to transport. First, I have to ensure the safety of this batch of materials. There must be no problems."

Ni Shengtao cupped his fists and said, "Yes! Understood!"

Description: This vaccine was developed to work against the first-generation virus. It is extremely unstable and carries a huge risk.

Description: Player's anti-infection ability is greatly increased after injection (duration is related to the basic attribute, maximum 30 days).

"The vaccine sample developed from first-generation meteorites? Where did you get it? From the Dark Knights?"

Ding Min received the vaccine from Fang Heng.

She looked at Fang Heng with an anomaly, as if she wanted to see through him completely.

It had only been a day, so how did Fang Heng get the vaccine?

"That's not important. How long do we need to replicate it successfully?"

"No, this is very important. It looks very unstable. I have reason to suspect that it has been modified."

Ding Min held the sample in her hand and observed it with a serious expression.

"It won't be. I guarantee that it won't be a problem."

As Fang Heng spoke, he rummaged through his backpack and passed the Deep Blue Enigma mask over. "Oh right, I almost forgot. I also brought you this."

Ding Min was pleasantly surprised.

"A sample of the experimental set? You actually found a sample of the Deep Blue Enigma?"

Ding Min's attention was immediately attracted by the mask package in Fang Heng's hands.

She instantly put the matter of the vaccine to the back of her mind. She picked up the mask and began to study it.

"That's great. With the sample, we can directly analyze the mask and develop a more efficient..."

"How could the sample be preserved so well?"

[Hint: Ding Min's favorability rating has increased slightly.]

[Hint: Ding Min's loyalty to the Scavenger Army has increased to 94.]

"Cough, cough."

Seeing Ding Min study the mask for more than ten minutes, Fang Heng could not help but interrupt, "Dr. Ding, the vaccine is very important to us."

"I know."

Ding Min's attention was still on the ingredient list of the mask package.

"I will study the sample of the vaccine. It's useless to rush me. I can provide you with the vaccine for testing tomorrow morning. In theory, with enough ingredients, it is expected to reach the regional test dosage that afternoon."

"Yes, I have already asked Ni Shengtao to collect the medicinal ingredients. The first batch of test dosage can be guaranteed."

After receiving Ding Min's accurate reply, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.

Dr. Ding Min's personality was a little strange, but her ability in experiments was still convincing.

Fang Heng calculated with his fingers.

Later, he still needed to build a space tearing device branch teleportation point in the army headquarters.

After that, he would rush back to the headquarters of the Leftway Gaming Guild's shelter at night to meet up with Tian Zhen.

He would also build a teleportation point there.

If everything went smoothly, he could complete the construction of the teleportation point in the morning. When that time came, he would rush back to make the vaccine. In the afternoon, he would start the vaccine proliferation test plan.

...

As the Leftway Gaming Guild lacked engineers who could build a small-scale teleportation device, Fang Heng could only personally bring a batch of zombie clones to build it.

It was already late at night when Fang Heng quietly drove the truck to the main base of the Leftway Gaming Guild.

"Fang Heng, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Tian Zhen stayed up late and waited for Fang Heng for a long time.

When he saw Fang Heng, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He never expected that Fang Heng would give him another huge surprise in a day.

Fusion Tyrant form!

This morning, he had obtained some screenshots from a secret channel of the video of the fusion Tyrant form's attack on the Federation's shelter last night.

After seeing the video, Tian Zhen could not calm down for a long time.

Fang Heng was the cause of it again!

The strength of the fusion Tyrant form had already reached the level of Tier 5 mutated zombie!

The entire Federation of District 7 was shocked.

"What are these?"

Looking at the zombies crawling out from under the truck one by one, Tian Zhen had a strange expression.

"They're just for show."

Fang Heng yawned and poured a bottle of coffee into his mouth. "How is it? Are the things ready?"

Tian Zhen was suspicious. He nodded and said, "They're all ready. Come with me."

Under Tian Zhen's lead, Fang Heng led a group of zombies to the third floor of the basement of the shelter.

The construction materials for the branch teleportation point had been prepared. Boxes of materials were temporarily stacked in the corner of the hall.

Fang Heng walked to the boxes and checked them one by one.

The efficiency of the Leftway Gaming Guild was quite high.

Fang Heng nodded with satisfaction. "You're quite fast. The news of the spatial rift's construction hasn't leaked out, has it?"

"No. Only the two core members of the guild know about the cooperation with you. In addition, according to the plan, I've begun to purchase the shelter and collect various materials to prepare for the establishment of the magnetic field detector branch."

"There are already several companies negotiating the price. If we hurry, we can complete the purchase in a few days."

"The main problem now is that we don't have enough money. The guild still has a big gap in funds."

Tian Zhen sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it's also thanks to you that we can buy the territory at a lower price. Otherwise, we would have to spend more money."

"Thanks to me? What do you mean?"

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Don't you know? It's all thanks to the fusion Tyrant form developed by the Scavenger Army. Right now, the Federation outside is going crazy. The Federation is looking everywhere for a way to deal with the mutant worm bodies."

"A rumor has leaked out that the entire District 7 will face the threat of the mutant worm bodies. In the short term, the Federation has no way to resist the mutant worm bodies."

"The players in District 7 all feel that the district will be greatly impacted. In addition, District 8 is gradually stabilizing. A large number of capable players are considering moving out of District 7 and choosing the safer District 8."

"Since this morning, there have been a large number of game guilds' company shelters in the eastern district. As for the other three districts, your game guild has not been affected by the mutant worm bodies for the time being. I reckon they are also in a wait-and-see state."

Fang Heng pursed his lips and pondered.

He did not expect the mutant worm bodies to be so useful that they would cause such a huge impact on the Federation.

Unfortunately, the current situation of their Scavenger Army was not good either. They did not have enough members and combat strength. Otherwise, he could use this opportunity to expand crazily and directly beat the Federation to death.

"The Federation has already announced to the outside world that they are recruiting methods to control the mutant worm bodies. They have also offered a reward. As long as they find a way to deal with the mutant worm bodies, they will be able to provide resources equivalent to three large-scale shelters as a reward."

"Three large-scale shelters! So many!"

Fang Heng was shocked by the Federation's generosity.

It seemed that the Federation was really pushed to the brink...

"Exactly." The deputy commander of the Leftway Gaming Guild, Zhong Lei, curled his lips and said, "Kou Huai is really bleeding this time."

For a moment, Fang Heng was also dazzled by the reward. He even wanted to report himself to receive the reward.

The vaccine antibodies developed by District 7 would also work on the mutant worm bodies.

Wait a minute...

Reporting himself to the Federation to receive the reward?

Perhaps...

It might be feasible?

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed, revealing a greedy gaze.

Chapter 455: Reverse Optimization

"Fang Heng, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Fang Heng came back to his senses. He eagerly patted Tian Zhen's shoulder. "To be honest, I've thought of a plan. Aren't we short of money? Tell me, can we ask the Federation for money?"

"Hmm? Ask the Federation for money? What does that mean?"

Tian Zhen was baffled when he heard that.

"Hehe," Fang Heng chuckled and whispered into Tian Zhen's ear.

Tian Zhen had a strange expression.

"T-this would work?"

"But, but..."

"There are no buts. Leave the rest to me. You just need to prepare the follow-up materials." Fang Heng took out a list from his pocket, "By the way, there's also a new recruitment list for the Scavenger Army. Help me see if there's anyone familiar..."

Tian Zhen was still a little suspicious as he took the list.

He knew about the list, but Fang Heng's plan was too...

"Alright, you guys go ahead. Leave the rest to me."

Fang Heng said as he pushed Tian Zhen and Zhong Lei out of the hall.

"Bang!"

The door to the hall was tightly shut. Zhong Lei and Tian Zhen could hear the sound of the door being locked.

Zhong Lei felt awkward. He turned to Tian Zhen and asked, "Commander, this...?"

Tian Zhen thought for a moment.

Now that things had come to this, he decided to continue trusting Fang Heng.

"You stay here. If Fang Heng needs anything, help him do it."

"Okay."

"If you have any news, let me know immediately."

"Understood."

...

The next day, Tian Zhen returned to the game shelter.

In the morning, he had just signed an agreement with a company to purchase the assets of the shelter in District 7 in installments.

Too many things had happened in District 7 recently, making him physically and mentally exhausted.

All the chaos and disorder had started when Fang Heng entered District 7.

Tian Zhen realized that Fang Heng's thinking was a little off after his brief contact with Fang Heng over the past few days.

To be more precise, Tian Zhen felt that Fang Heng's plan was a little unrealistic.

Perhaps cooperating with him was not the best plan?

No!

Tian Zhen braced himself and cleared the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Since he had made his choice, he had to go all out!

"Commander."

While he was thinking, Zhong Lei hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. "You're finally back. Fang Heng needs a lot of construction materials and medicinal ingredients. He told us to make preparations in advance. He said that he would send a batch of materials over later, and he also told us to prepare to purchase the next batch of medicinal ingredients. He will provide us with the details of the medicinal ingredients in a while."

"So soon?"

Tian Zhen frowned.

For this gamble, he had already applied for a loan from a financial institution. However, it was not so fast. The loan still needed some time to be approved.

Their capital chain was very tight. They had no spare money to buy medicinal ingredients.

"Yes, he is in a hurry."

"Our current funds are simply not enough." Tian Zhen frowned. "Forget it. I'll go and talk to him."

"Don't go. He has already left."

"He left?"

Tian Zhen was even more confused. Didn't they agree to build a teleportation door inside their shelter? Why did he leave just like that?

Zhong Lei closed the office door behind him. He walked to the front of the office with excitement and whispered, "God Fang Heng used the teleportation passage to return to the main base of the Scavenger Army in the morning. When he left, he left us some blue crystal pieces."

Tian Zhen was stunned.

"Wait, slow down. You mean, Fang Heng has already built the teleportation device?"

"Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

In one night?

The teleportation passage was completed?

Tian Zhen didn't believe it at first, but then he thought of the plan that Fang Heng said last night...

After being stunned for a long time, a smile appeared on Tian Zhen's face.

"Good!"

This was good!

It turned out that he was too small-minded!

In that case, Fang Heng could really carry out that plan!

Tian Zhen sighed in his heart.

After so many years, he had finally found a good teammate!

Those teammates in the past, it was already fortunate that he did not have to help them wipe their asses.

Tian Zhen's mood instantly improved, and the dejected look on his face disappeared.

He was extremely glad that he had made such an excellent choice.

No!

Tian Zhen suddenly stood up again.

He could not be an incompetent teammate who would drag him down!

"Zhong Lei, get ready. Gather all the people in the team that we can trust. We have urgent matters to do next, and we must not make any mistakes."

"Yes!"

In Zhong Lei's impression, Commander Tian Zhen had always been very calm. It was rare for him to show such great joy and sorrow like today.

"What are you waiting for? Settle it quickly!"

"But Commander, regarding the funding, we should..."

"Don't worry. The Federation will help us solve the problem soon."

...

At the Scavenger Army headquarters.

"Commander Fang Heng, I have completed the research and development of the vaccine body. We can start mass production now."

"In addition, I have already reengineered the vaccine according to your request. The antibody potion extracted from the vaccine can take effect on the mutant worm body. Even if it is already invaded by the mutant worm body, the vaccine can immediately kill the mutant worm body that is parasitic in the body."

"However, it is only effective at the initial parasitical stage. Once the parasite takes control of the host's nerve center, the death of the mutant worm body will cause the death of the host body as well."

Ding Min reported her work to Fang Heng in a serious manner. However, her face was still covered with a mask, which made Fang Heng feel a little strange.

[Hint: Player has obtained an item — Mutant Worm Body Injection.]

Item: Mutant Worm Body Injection.

Description: After injecting, the human body's blood will contain a special antibody. The antibody will cause the mutant worm body to react, making the human body immune to the mutant worm body parasite.

Fang Heng held the completed sample of the injection in his hand and looked at it.

Good stuff!

With this thing, he could exchange it for three shelters from the Federation!

But...

It seemed to be a loss?

The three large-scale shelter materials were equivalent to giving his own fusion Tyrant form a big cut.

Fang Heng touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Ding Min.

Ding Min looked at Fang Heng. "You have other questions?"

"Uh, Dr. Ding Min, can you further optimize the effect of the injection?"

Ding Min refused, "There's no need for that. The effect has already been pushed to the limit."

"No, no, no. I mean, can you adjust it in the opposite direction to weaken the effect of the injection and change it to the temporary effective one?" Fang Heng gestured with his hand. "Oh, it is to change it to an injection that can only be effective after it has been parasitized."

Ding Min showed a puzzled expression.

It was not the first time she had done drug research and development. It was the first time she had heard of such a strange request.

"Also, you must pay attention to confidentiality during research and development. Add a few more dispensable medicinal ingredients to increase the difficulty of cracking the formula. Can you do it?"

Ding Min looked at Fang Heng suspiciously.

She really couldn't understand Fang Heng. He kept bringing up these strange requests.

It was still alright. The difficulty of changing it was almost nothing to her.

Chapter 456: Antibody Injection

"Alright, you're the boss. Give me another hour."

"I knew it. This won't be a problem for you. You're the strongest researcher in the entire Scavenger Army!"

"Hmph."

Ding Min snorted and shook her head. She turned her back and started writing in her notebook.

[Hint: Ding Min's favorability rating has slightly increased.]

[Hint: Ding Min's loyalty to the Scavenger Army has increased to 95.]

Looking at Ding Min's back, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't see Ding Min's attributes right now, but he was sure that Ding Min was definitely an S-level researcher! In a night, she had copied the virus antibody vaccine and Meteorite Company's mask based on the information and samples!

He had to think of a way to trick her back to District 8!

Or when the matter at hand was over, he could go to the real world to get some skin care products for her?

Fang Heng pondered and continued to open the game map to observe.

If everything went smoothly, he would be able to get the first batch of antibody vaccines this afternoon. Then, he could find a place to spread the vaccine in large quantities for testing.

He had to find a good place.

In order to avoid getting himself into trouble, he might as well start from the other three regions of Zombie Apocalypse District 7.

He shall start from the western region!

Before that, he had to do something for the people of the Federation to get more money from them.

With that thought in mind, Fang Heng brought along the eight fusion Tyrant form, including the proliferator, and headed to the White Horse River region to spread the mutant worm virus.

...

The mutant worm tide was spreading crazily!

The entire Zombie Apocalypse District 7 was gradually falling into a panic because of this!

The invasion of the mutant worm bodies was too difficult to defend against.

They could infiltrate into the shelter from every corner that you would not expect, then bite a hole in your clothes and drill into your body to complete the parasitism!

After that, the player that was parasitized would become a zombie.

The zombie would cause secondary damage to the shelter.

In just a short day, the number of player deaths in the White Horse River region soared!

What was even more troublesome was that not only in the White Horse River region, the mutant worm bodies had begun to invade the region around the White Horse River.

Player forums in the eastern region of District 7 were filled with screams.

Originally, District 7 was a very stable region. However, after Fang Heng's arrival, the strength of the Scavenger Army had greatly increased. In addition to the outbreak of the mutant worm tide at this stage, the confidence of the player in District 7 had become weaker and weaker, and many rich people with spare money had already begun to think of ways to evacuate from District 7.

Amidst the chaos, a new post in the forum attracted the attention of all the players.

"Just one shot! Mutant worm parasite! An immediate effect after one injection! Quickly come in and take a look!"

An advertisement?

At first, the player saw this advertisement as a joke. However, when they clicked on it, they discovered that the post was actually posted by the Leftway Gaming Guild.

The antibody vaccine that the Leftway Gaming Guild had developed could be used against the recently appeared mutant worm bodies infection?

A vaccine!

Within a few hours, the number of cooperative inquiries to the Leftway Gaming Guild had exploded.

Tian Zhen was currently sitting in his office chair, feeling very comfortable.

He had just rejected the Federation's request to buy the mutant worm body vaccine from him.

The other party had offered him the number of resources that was equivalent to four shelters.

Tian Zhen was very tempted at the time, but he still refused.

He knew very well that Kou Huai would definitely call him personally.

As expected, a few minutes later, the phone rang.

It was Kou Huai calling.

"Kou Huai, we are old friends. Don't you trust me? I swear to you, it's not that I don't want to provide you with the formula. I really don't have the formula, but I can provide you with the finished product."

According to the agreement with Fang Heng, Tian Zhen explained to Kou Huai, "Okay, of course, there's no problem!"

"However, the production of the injection is very difficult. The first batch of the injection has been sold to the major game guilds. In addition, we need a lot of medicinal resources to produce it. We still need to spend some time preparing the injection."

"What? Need to rush it? It's not impossible, but we need more manpower and material resources. We still need to adjust the price..."

On the other end of the phone, Kou Huai's face was gloomy.

He had never expected that the Leftway Gaming Guild had no consideration for him.

Kou Huai realized that ever since Fang Heng entered District 7, his control over District 7 had become weaker and weaker.

After this operation was over, the first thing he would do was to punish the Leftway Gaming Guild!

Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

And also, that bunch of trash from the intelligence department! Even the player guilds had developed an anti-mutant worm injection, but there was still no news of them!

Kou Huai clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked.

"Alright, Tian Zhen, we'll do as you say! I need at least 10,000 injections by tomorrow night. If I can't get them, you'll bear the consequences!"

With that, Kou Huai angrily hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Tian Zhen was secretly delighted.

He had never seen Kou Huai so flustered and exasperated before.

The Leftway Gaming Guild had been suppressed by the Federation for so long in District 7, but this was the first time they had the upper hand.

It was too awesome!

With the help of the Federation's resources, they could proceed with the next step of purchasing medicinal ingredients and the shelters...

Spending the Federation's money to deal with the Federation?

Fang Heng really knew how to play!

Wait!

Tian Zhen suddenly frowned and sat up straight in his chair.

Something was wrong!

Kou Huai was not a person who would give in so easily.

The single dose of vaccine he had previously prescribed was extremely expensive, but Kou Huai still agreed.

Kou Huai had agreed too quickly and straightforwardly.

Or was it because the mutant worm bodies had put too much pressure on him?

Moreover, Kou Huai had also requested to gather at least 10,000 injections by tomorrow night instead of requesting the first batch of syringes to be delivered as soon as possible...

The more Tian Zhen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that I've gone overboard..."

Tian Zhen muttered to himself in a low voice.

For safety reasons, he immediately dialed the internal line. "Go and investigate and see if there's anything unusual happening in the Federation recently. Find out clearly!"

...

In the elementary King of Gods game, every server was divided into four regions.

Following the Federation's encirclement of the Scavenger Army, the Scavenger Army branches in the western region had been completely wiped out.

The western region was the furthest from the White Horse River region in the eastern region, so for the time being, they were not threatened by the mutated worms.

Their days were quite comfortable.

In the western region, the Seventh Dimension Gaming Union.

Circles of blue light flashed through the portal on the first basement.

Fang Heng, wearing a mask, walked out of the portal with Zhong Lei and Ding Min.

Noyce, the vice president of the Seventh Dimension Gaming Guild's shelter, went up to Zhong Lei.

"Zhong Lei, my old friend, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see. This time, we have encountered a troublesome mission. The location of the mission is in your western region. We need to rent your portal for one day. Sorry to trouble you."

Chapter 457: Western Region

"There's no need to be so polite. Our guilds have always cooperated with each other," Noyce said as he pointed at a row of large trucks parked at the edge of the hall. "The trucks have already been prepared for you. Do you need anything else? Do you need me to send a few guides to follow you?"

Noyce's face was full of smiles, but he was making plans in his heart.

Right now, the entire eastern region was trembling with fear over the mutant worm body. Why did the Leftway Gaming Guild suddenly come to the western region?

Could it be that they were here to expand the territory of the western region?

It looked like the other party was up to something big. All of a sudden, they had borrowed more than 20 trucks from them.

It was strange!

"No need to trouble yourself. We can do it ourselves."

Zhong Lei did not know the real reason behind Fang Heng's visit. He only knew that it was a very important matter. Thus, he whispered into Noyce's ear, "It's a hidden mission. Don't leak it out."

"I understand."

Noyce smiled and nodded in agreement.

He had doubts about the true reason behind the Leftway Gaming Guild's visit.

Recently, the matter of mutant worms had become a hot topic.

He felt that it might be related to the vaccine that the Leftway Gaming Guild had developed.

No matter what, the price of renting the teleportation passage was very high.

There was no reason for him not to earn this money.

Noyce was still unwilling to give up. He probed, "I heard that you guys have already developed an anti-mutant worm body vaccine?"

"Hahaha, it's just luck. Currently, we have already started mass production. With the anti-mutant body vaccine, I believe that under the leadership of the Federation, the mutant worm crisis will be over very soon, right?"

"Of course, the crisis will pass very quickly." Noyce nodded and stopped asking, "That is the freight passage. After the door opens, the truck will enter the first floor through a large cargo elevator. After that, it will be able to leave the shelter straight ahead. I won't bother you anymore."

After a few simple pleasantries, Noyce saw that he could not get any useful information, so he tactfully left with the guild players.

When Noyce left with his men, Fang Heng immediately took off the mask on his face.

He walked to the control panel and quickly adjusted the location of the spatial rift's passage.

After a moment, the teleportation passage that had been repositioned once again emitted a weak blue light.

"Bang! Bang Bang!"

The floor shook slightly.

Eight fusion mutant worm Tyrant forms stepped out of the portal in succession.

Under Fang Heng's control, they walked to the trailer behind the truck and lay down quietly.

Then came the ordinary fusion Tyrant.

The two ordinary fusion Tyrants squeezed into one trailer.

Then came the scarlet Lickers, which pounced on the truck behind them and entered the gap between the trucks.

Finally, there was the ordinary vine zombie team.

They squeezed each other and walked out of the portal, filling up the last space of the trailer.

It was the first time Zhong Lei saw such a large zombie team up close.

He was secretly glad.

Fortunately, Fang Heng was not their enemy.

However, Zhong Lei also felt very strange. Why did Fang Heng spend so much effort to bring so many zombie teams here?

Was he planning to attack the western region?

"Almost done."

Fang Heng rubbed his neck, feeling bitter in his heart.

In the game, theoretically, only the Dark Knights had the teleportation passage.

The blueprint for the passage in the player's hands was also obtained from the Dark Knights.

Moreover, the number was limited.

Fang Heng calculated that if he did not use the teleportation passage, it would take him two days to drive a truck to the western region.

The main storyline mission in District 8 couldn't wait that long!

Therefore, Fang Heng had to spend more money to find a more reliable player union to rent a teleportation passage.

When all the zombies got on the truck, Fang Heng covered the truck with a layer of tarp.

In the end, more than 20 NPC survivors walked out of the passage.

They boarded the truck's cab one by one.

The NPCs did not know what terrifying things were loaded under the tarp at the back of the truck.

Fang Heng finally checked and manually controlled the machine to open the iron door of the hall to the outside world.

"Let's go!"

Ten minutes later.

The vice president of the Seventh Dimension Gaming Union, Noyce, watched as more than 20 trucks filled with "goods" left the shelter.

"Boss, should we send someone to follow them to take a look?"

"Yes, send someone to follow them. Keep a distance. Be careful not to be discovered."

Olf nodded. "Understood! Leave it to me."

After leaving the shelter, Fang Heng immediately headed toward the coordinates.

On the trailer behind the truck, several Lickers kept falling.

"Chi chi chi..."

After landing, the Lickers spread out in all directions.

A moment later, a white van appeared on the highway.

Olf led a small team of three to drive the van. They followed far behind Fang Heng in an attempt to monitor him.

"Look! What's that!"

Olf suddenly discovered, to his surprise, that a red shadow had appeared on both sides of the road.

More than ten Lickers were blocking the middle of the highway.

It was Lickers!

"Chi chi chi!"

More than ten Lickers saw the white van and immediately pounced on it.

Olf and the others immediately raised their guns and counterattacked.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!"

"Quick! Ignore them! Just run over them!"

Hearing that, the driver stepped on the accelerator to the maximum and crashed into a group of Lickers in front.

However, the Lickers' attack was beyond their expectations.

A Licker directly pounced on the top of the truck!

A sharp claw slashed past and tore a huge hole in the entire top.

Olf raised the automatic rifle, aimed at the top, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang Bang!"

The Licker was in pain and could not hold on to the truck. It fell heavily to the ground.

The remaining Lickers did not give up and chased after the truck from behind.

"Faster! Drive faster! Shake them off!"

Olf shouted and raised his automatic rifle with his other two companions to shoot at the Licker.

Suddenly, Olf felt something bite his wrist.

He raised his hand and frowned.

When did a cut appear on his hand?

When he took a closer look, a row of messages appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Unknown mutant worm body is trying to control your central nervous system.]

[Hint (obtained from low-level game difficulty): Based on your basic attribute, your central nervous system will be infected by the unknown worm body within 45 seconds...]

What was going on?

Mutant worm body!

When did mutant worm bodies appear in their western region!

He looked carefully.

There were actually tiny mutant worms in the truck!

And when did they appear in the truck!

Cold sweat broke out on Olf's forehead. He suddenly realized that his companion, who was driving the truck, had suddenly stopped talking.

Was he infected?

Before he could figure it out, the car had completely lost control.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the car drove off the road and crashed into a huge rock beside the road.

Chapter 458: Vaccine Body Information Collection

"Fang Heng, we have entered the central area of the Western region and are heading towards the coordinates. There is an area of scorched ruins there. There are no usable materials nearby, so no player has established a shelter there."

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Zhong Lei breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Fang Heng in a low voice, "The Seventh Dimension is one of the larger gaming unions in the Western region. We've worked together with them a few times before, so we can be considered friends. Not long ago, the president had just contacted them, and they don't have any plans for a guild shelter at the moment."

"Mm."

Fang Heng flipped through the game log and nodded. "Looks like the people from the Seventh Dimension aren't too reliable. They've sent people to follow us."

"What?"

Zhong Lei was stunned.

People? How did Fang Heng know?

Then, Zhong Lei realized that something was wrong.

Not to mention the fact that their guild and Fang Heng's cooperation needed to be kept a secret. Once someone followed them, even their secret mission this time would be greatly affected.

"What should we do? Should we stop first and think of a way to get rid of them?"

"There's no need. We've already gotten rid of them."

Zhong Lei was stunned.

So fast? When did this happen? He didn't see him making a move?

Fang Heng waved his hand, and he said casually, "I did some research earlier and found that the worm body can also invade the Licker's body and temporarily live under the Licker's skin. Although they can't enhance the Licker, sometimes they can produce some unexpected enhanced effects..."

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Zhong Lei suddenly felt a chill on his back.

So, Fang Heng had parasitized those mutant worm bodies on the Licker?

Zhong Lei comforted himself again and again. Fang Heng was not an enemy but a teammate.

"Hey, don't look like that. I'm not a monster. I just want to study the cooperation between zombie team members and add some tactics. Shouldn't we stockpile more mutant worm bodies and then spread them out?"

"Theoretically, we can't do that." Ding Min shook her head and said, "I've studied the mutant worm bodies. After they leave the body of the fusion Tyrant form for a period of time, their activity and attacking power will gradually decrease. It's already the limit for them to survive for a week without finding a host. They can't stock up and nurtured in large quantities."

"Is that so..." Fang Heng was disappointed. "It's a pity that we can't use this bug."

"But your idea is still very good. The Licker's battle idea is a bit interesting." Ding Min nodded and encouraged, "It's a pity that the Lickers can't provide enough nutrients to the mutant worm bodies. If the mutant worm body infects the Licker, it will greatly reduce the Licker's function, and the loss outweighs the gain..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhong Lei couldn't help but shrink his neck again.

Sure enough, they were from the Scavenger Army. There was something wrong with both of them.

...

An hour later, the group arrived at the zombie virus vaccine spread point that Ding Min had chosen beforehand.

More than twenty trucks lined up and stopped by the roadside.

Ding Min got off the truck.

In front of her was a scorched ruin.

Fang Heng signaled to Ding Min with his eyes.

Ding Min's expression was serious. She walked to the open space in front of her, carefully placed the box containing the highly concentrated vaccine on the ground, and pressed a button on the box.

"Step back a little."

Ding Min took Fang Heng and the others to step back a distance.

"Is it done?"

"Yes, it will take some time to spread..." Ding Min looked at the experimental subject box in front of her and carefully observed it. "I need to collect the first sample in ten minutes."

Fang Heng asked, "Will there be problems with my zombies?"

"There won't be. Unless the vaccine body is improved in the next stage, the antibody vaccine's effect on the zombies will be very limited. Besides, your zombie corpse is special."

"That's good."

Zhong Lei, who was listening by the side, was confused.

He was very curious as to why he came all the way to the Western region.

Soon, a hint flashed in front of Fang Heng's eyes.

[Hint: Player's team has released a highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine.]

[Hint: The anti-virus vaccine is spreading...]

[Hint: Player's main storyline mission has an anomaly... Auto-repair is processing...]

[Hint: Repair completed. The player's team has triggered the main storyline mission — Vaccine Body Information Collection].

Mission name: Vaccine Body Information Collection.

Mission description: You have released a highly unstable anti-virus vaccine. The vaccine may cause a special mutation. Please collect as much information as possible.

Mission requirements: Try to collect information on the anti-virus vaccine and the zombies affected by the vaccine.

Mission reward: ??? (Affected by human intervention, unknown reward).

"This..."

Vaccine?

The main storyline special mission?

Unknown reward? Human Intervention?

Zhong Lei also received a team mission.

The amount of information provided by the mission was too large, and he hadn't had time to enquire yet.

Just as he raised his head, Zhong Lei noticed that something strange had happened in the scorched area ahead.

"Hey, look over there."

Fang Heng slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Chi! Chi chi!"

One by one, green-gray palms reached out from the ground.

Mutated zombies rose from the ground and struggled to crawl out.

Their bodies were covered in mud, and they let out wails as they slowly walked toward Fang Heng.

[Hint: The spread of the vaccine has caused a mutation of the virus in the area.]

[Hint: The current spread of the vaccine in the area is 0.32%. The mutation in the area is 0.05%. The purification of the area is 0.02%.]

Ding Min looked around vigilantly and moved closer to Fang Heng, and she said in a low voice, "Fang Heng, as I predicted, the probability of the virus causing a small mutation in the zombies is very high. I need to collect more samples."

"Um. It seems that our luck is indeed not that good."

Zhong Lei thought to himself, "Is this a problem of luck?"

He also became nervous. He took out the automatic rifle from his backpack and stood side by side with Fang Heng, getting ready for battle.

Zhong Lei noticed that Fang Heng had taken something out of his backpack and was in a fighting posture.

Five mutated zombies were also in the same posture as him.

They were holding the same special weapons as Fang Heng.

Eh?

What the hell?

Silver...

Are they needles!

"Chi chi chi..."

The next second, Zhong Lei heard a chafing sound.

Then, countless scarlet Lickers swept past them.

The Lickers' sharp claws plunged into the mutated zombie team!

Fang Heng's game log refreshed quickly!

[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has killed a Tier 1 mutated zombie. You have obtained information related to the mutated zombie. Mission completion rate: 0.001%...]

Eh? Collecting information by killing a mutated creature?

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

It should be similar to the previous missions he had encountered. In theory, he could obtain the completion rate by killing the mutated zombies and collecting a sample.

However, the completion rate provided by killing one was too little?

Chapter 459: Killing Monsters

In front of them, there was a bloody massacre.

Against a low-level zombie team, the Licker team, which had inherited part of Fang Heng's attributes, had a huge advantage!

The Licker team, which had charged into the zombie team, instantly took control of the situation.

Before the mutated zombie team could climb out of the ground, it was pierced through by the Licker's sharp claws.

Zhong Lei stood there for a while, then quietly put down the automatic rifle in his hand.

The Lickers had taken control of the situation.

The vaccine was still spreading, and the zombie team underground was still mutating. More and more zombies were coming out from under their feet.

Ding Min looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, I need to collect more sample data."

"Yes, I understand."

While speaking, a Tyrant form zombie extended a few vines from its right arm and wrapped around a Tier 2 ghost claw zombie that had just been resurrected from the underground.

"Bang bang! Bang!"

The Tyrant took a step forward and brought the ghost claw zombie to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng suddenly reached out his hand and pressed the silver sample collector on the ghost claw zombie's head.

"Clack..."

At the same time, the other zombie clones did the same thing as Fang Heng. They raised the live sample collector in their hands and stabbed the zombie's head.

"Clack clack..."

[Hint: You have obtained a living sample of a Tier 2 ghost claw zombie * 6.]

Fang Heng carefully put away the live sample collector.

On the other side, five or six vine zombies staggered up and wrapped the mutated ghost claw zombie's body tightly. Then, they slowly dragged it into the truck behind them.

"Bring it back, and we'll study it later."

"Eh..."

Zhong Lei looked at what was happening.

Everything was beyond his understanding of this game.

It could work like that?

"Bang!"

Then, another Tyrant form wrapped around another Tier 2 mutated zombie and walked over.

As usual, Fang Heng picked up a new sample collector and poked the head of the mutated zombie.

In just a few minutes, almost all kinds of mutated zombies were collected.

Fang Heng opened the game log to check.

[Hint: District 7's vaccine diffusion rate: 0.0001%, Western region's vaccine diffusion rate: 0.0001%, player's zone vaccine diffusion rate: 0.52%, zone mutation rate: 0.05%, zone purification rate: 0.03%.]

[Hint: Main storyline mission — Data collection mission completion rate – 0.005%.]

The data collection mission was too slow!

In addition, what were the vaccine diffusion rate and zone evolution rate?

Fang Heng pondered and turned to look at Ding Min.

"Dr. Ding Min, don't you think our efficiency is a little slow?"

Ding Min frowned and said, "What are you trying to say?"

"Speed up the spread?"

"You better think properly. The risk will greatly increase if we speed up the spread."

"Okay."

Fang Heng thought for a moment and nodded to confirm.

"Let's do it."

Time was tight, and he didn't have time to waste.

Zhong Lei really wanted to ask Fang Heng what he was going to do, but before he could say anything, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the truck behind him.

He looked back.

Seven fusion Tyrant forms each carried a metal bucket that was more than a meter tall and walked down from the back of the truck.

They walked with heavy steps to the center of the empty muddy ground in front of them.

"Bang! Bang Bang!"

The metal buckets were placed on the ground one by one.

The Tyrant pressed the button on the metal bucket.

"Chi!"

The white, highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine gas visible to the naked eye shot out from the pores reserved in the metal buckets and quickly dissolved in the air.

[Hint: The anti-virus vaccine is spreading at an accelerated rate...]

"This..."

As time passed, Zhong Lei's heart thumped wildly.

Crazy! Really crazy!

He saw countless mutated zombie reaching out their hands from under the scorched earth.

Starting from Tier 1 and Tier 2 mutated zombies in the beginning.

To Tier 3 after that...

Or even Tier 4!

Tier 5!

The fusion Tyrant forms had also joined the battlefield.

They clashed fiercely with the mutated giant zombie.

Fang Heng's calm expression gradually turned into surprise and joy.

As the anti-virus vaccine spread faster, mutated zombies emerged from the ground around them. The entire scorched area was affected by the virus mutation, and countless high-level mutated zombie teams were reviving from the ground!

The number and strength of the mutated zombie teams were far beyond Fang Heng's original estimation!

The small zombie team was surrounded by the zombie crowd from all directions!

The zombie team controlled by Fang Heng could no longer withstand the attack. Even Tyrant started to die under the attack of the mutated zombie teams...

"Boom!"

Tier 5 mutated zombie — Ghost eye!

Its body was covered with dense yellow eyes. Just looking at it made people feel nauseous. The powerful infection and hunting ability it possessed made the player extremely afraid of it!

Zhong Lei panicked. He carefully looked at Fang Heng, but he saw a strange look in Fang Heng's eyes...

Eh? Surprise?

Zhong Lei felt like he had seen it wrongly!

Fang Heng's pupils constricted.

Tier 5!

Great!

He had finally found it! Large groups of Tier 4 and Tier 5 mutated zombie teams!

Fang Heng's game log refreshed at an extremely fast speed!

[Hint: You have killed a Tier 4 special mutated zombie — One-eyed.]

[Hint: You have obtained 281 survival points, Tier 2 evolution crystal * 1.]

[Hint: You have killed a Tier 3 special mutated zombie — Sharp blade...]

They were all evolution crystals!

It had been a long time since he had obtained so many points and evolution crystals so easily!

In less than half an hour, Fang Heng's points and evolution crystals were increasing rapidly!

Zhong Lei couldn't help but ask, "Fang Heng, should we retreat?"

Fang Heng glanced at the three Tyrants who were fighting against the ghost eye zombie, thinking that it was a pity.

He had been stuck at level 18 for a long time!

Not only was it difficult to kill a high-tier zombie corpse, but it would also take a long time just to find it!

It was not easy to find a chance to kill a zombie and obtain an advanced evolution crystal!

He thought that he would at least have to wait until he completed the main storyline mission, then obtain the ownership of the Zombie Apocalypse before he could slowly find a chance to level up.

He didn't expect to see the hope of leveling up now!

But...

"Forget it."

Fang Heng took a deep breath and let himself regain his senses.

With the spread of the anti-virus vaccine, the resurrected mutated zombie teams would become even stronger!

His current zombie clones were showing signs of being unable to hold on. He could no longer see the end of the zombie teams around him... If he was not careful, he might die here as well.

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's retreat first!"

After receiving Fang Heng's order, the zombie Tyrant forms began to cover Fang Heng and the others as they retreated.

Eight zombie fusion Tyrant forms opened up a path in front of the truck.

The NPCs boarded the truck and brought the zombie test subjects that were tied up in the trailer behind them back to the shelter where they came from.
