Chapter 460: Escape Is More Important

"Shortly after you left the shelter, you were attacked by the Lickers? And you discovered a mutant worm body?"

Noyce was very confused when he heard the news of the team being wiped out.

What was going on?

When did the mutant worm bodies appear in the Western region?

Noyce realized the severity of the situation.

He was wondering if this matter was related to the Leftway Gaming Guild. Suddenly, his personal survival computer received several urgent messages.

Something big had happened in the scorched area!

A super-sized zombie tide had erupted!

A large number of high-tier zombies had spread out from underground, including a large number of Tier 4 zombies and a small number of Tier 5 zombies!

The zombie tide began to riot and spread rapidly in all directions. Several shelters had already been completely destroyed by the zombie tide.

It was said that a large number of zombie teams were still resurrecting in the scorched area. The giant-sized zombie teams were even spawning. It was only a matter of time before the entire scorched area fell.

After that, the wandering zombie teams would most likely spread to a few areas near the scorched area!

Boom!

Upon hearing the sudden bad news, Noyce immediately cursed in his heart.

Their base was near the scorched area!

If the information was accurate, when the scorched area completely fell, their Seventh Dimension Gaming Guild's base would be the first to be attacked by the zombie teams!

Noyce had a feeling that a calamity had descended from the heavens.

He instantly threw the problem of the Leftway Gaming Guild to the back of his mind and began to think about how to deal with this crazy zombie horde!

The entire District 7's Western region's player forums were also in an uproar.

This giant-sized zombie tide in the scorched area came suddenly, and its intensity was even more shocking! For a time, all kinds of live streaming posts and videos were flying all over the forum, and everyone was panicking.

Noyce steadied his mind and hurriedly commanded the shelter's players to strengthen the defensive line.

Not long after, large trucks lined up and drove into the shelter from the highway.

"Hi, Noyce."

Zhong Lei stuck his head out of the driver's seat and greeted Noyce.

"You're back so soon?"

Noyce was very anxious.

Now that a big disaster was coming, Noyce was not in the mood to find out Zhong Lei's real purpose in coming to the Western region. "I'm sorry, I have other things to deal with. There's a big problem in the Western region."

"Yeah, I heard about it too. When we came back, we saw a lot of wandering zombies on the road. Damn, a lot of zombies rose from the ground. You didn't see that scene. It was too scary. We didn't even finish our mission and escaped back."

Seeing Noyce's face, Zhong Lei was in a good mood.

Why did he send someone to follow them? It would be fun now!

While talking, Zhong Lei secretly glanced at the culprit, Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a mask and pretending to be asleep.

"Damn it! Are you sure? Is the zombie tide heading toward our shelter?"

"To be precise, the zombie tide is very strange. The zombies are wandering aimlessly, so..."

Zhong Lei shook his head.

He was really scared.

Thinking back to the time when they escaped, they had relied on the eight enhanced Tyrant forms to fight their way out from the center of the zombie tide.

If they delay for more than ten minutes, they might be trapped in the center of the zombie tide and die.

Along the way, Zhong Lei saw countless zombies resurrecting from the underground.

"Damn it!" Noyce couldn't help but curse, "What is going on with those zombies?"

"Who knows?" Zhong Lei spread his hands, looking helpless. "I'm sorry, Noyce. Those zombies are too scary. We can't defeat them, so we have to run away. Anyway, good luck."

...

After returning to the headquarters through the teleportation passage, Ding Min immediately gathered the research personnel in the headquarters to conduct research on the mutated zombies.

Fang Heng also entered the research headquarters, while Zhong Lei brought the NPCs back to the Leftway Gaming Guild through the portal and reported their trip.

After spending a lot of effort, Fang Heng controlled the vine zombies to lock the mutated zombies' research bodies into the cultivation pod one by one.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

After the cultivation pod was filled with a special liquid, the mutated zombies that were captured quieted down one by one and fell into a coma.

Fang Heng looked at the research objects in the cultivation pod curiously.

The entire Scavenger Army's laboratory was bustling with activity.

Ding Min stood in front of the cultivation pod and carefully recorded the detailed data of each live sample in the cultivation pod.

"I'll immediately start working on the mutated zombie team and find a way to get more information about the anti-virus. I need your Tyrant form to help me..."

"Of course, no problem."

Fang Heng agreed immediately.

"What do you want me to do?"

As soon as he said that, a game hint appeared in front of Fang Heng's eyes.

[Hint: Your apocalypse radio station has received an urgent message.]

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned on the survival radio.

[Zhong Lei: Boss Fang Heng, the Federation has made a big move. I've been blocked in the teleportation hall by the Scavenger Army. It's very urgent. If it's convenient, it's best if we can meet each other quickly. We're in the teleportation hall.]

"Eh, Ding Min, I..."

Ding Min noticed Fang Heng's movement. She stroked her short hair and said, "Forget it. Go do your work. I'm here."

"Phew, then I'll leave it to you. I'll bring you skin care products next time."

Fang Heng nodded at Ding Min and left the laboratory in a hurry.

Ding Min took one last look at Fang Heng, who left in a hurry and shook her head helplessly.

She continued to concentrate.

"Research team! Prepare for the first round of testing for a Tier 1 mutated zombie..."

...

In the teleportation hall, Zhong Lei had just received the latest news from the headquarters and immediately rushed to Fang Heng.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Scavenger Army didn't care about him and directly stopped him.

Feeling helpless, Zhong Lei could only send a message to Fang Heng for help.

Seeing Fang Heng appear, he came forward quickly.

"Fang Heng, we are in trouble. The president just got the news from a special channel. The Federation has gathered almost all the strength of District 7 and is preparing to complete the assembly by four o'clock tomorrow afternoon to launch a general attack on the Scavenger Army. There is news that their first batch of battle materials has been transported to the front line through the teleportation passage."

Hearing this, Fang Heng immediately felt a headache.

No way?

Again?

Why is the Federation not willing to stop?

Fang Heng was quite angry.

If the Federation really didn't care and did everything to find trouble with him, the Scavenger Army's headquarters wouldn't be able to hold on!

Zhong Lei was a little flustered. He asked, "Fang Heng, what should we do?"

"No need to panic. It's very stable."

Fang Heng licked his lips lightly, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

Good!

Does he want to play?

Then they'll play big!

Chapter 461: Playing a Big Game

Fang Heng raised his head and asked, "Do you know where they will gather?"

"Hmm, it should be in the Songxi Mountain area. The Federation has a large-scale shelter there, and all the materials are temporarily gathered there. The president and I have studied it before, and the chances of forcefully attacking there are very small."

"Hmm." Fang Heng continued to ask, "How are the preparations for the materials to make the anti-virus vaccine coming along?"

"We have reached an agreement with the Federation. We have used 10,000 doses of anti-mutant worm injections to exchange for a portion of the funds and a large number of medicinal ingredients. It is expected that the medicinal ingredients will reach our gaming union's shelter before sunset tonight. When that time comes, we will secretly transport them through the teleportation passage to the research institute."

Zhong Lei made a rough estimate. "Together with the materials that we purchased ourselves, it should be enough to make the second batch of highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine."

"Alright."

Fang Heng clenched his fist and patted Zhong Lei's shoulder. "Go and tell the Federation that we've leveled up the anti-mutant worm injection again. It's even more effective than the previous one. After the injection, we can remain immune to the attacks of the mutant worm bodies for a period of time. Ask them if they still want it. If they want it, they'll have to pay more."

"Ah? This?"

Zhong Lei was stunned.

What was going on?

They clearly knew that the Federation's people had already rushed over. Why would they still think of a way to send bullets to the Federation?

Was Fang Heng crazy? Was he planning to take a large sum of money from the Federation and leave?

"Think of a way to get all the medicinal ingredients and materials from the Federation's reserve. If they don't have the medicinal ingredients, let them use the funds to pay for it. Also, before the sun sets tonight, the materials must be delivered to the Federation!"

Zhong Lei swallowed his saliva.

Medicinal ingredients?

Suddenly, Zhong Lei suddenly understood the purpose of Fang Heng's move.

"Fang Heng... You mean to say..."

"Mm, you're right."

Smash a pot to pieces just because it's cracked.

Mass-produce a highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine and then throw the vaccine to the Eastern region!

Zhong Lei felt a chill down his spine.

What the heck!

He did not expect Fang Heng to be so tough!

Previously, in the scorched area, only about half of the high-concentration anti-virus vaccine had been produced in the Western region.

Up until now, the entire Western region was still in chaos. It was thrown into chaos by the sudden outbreak of the giant-sized zombie tide.

In theory, if they had the Federation's medicinal ingredients, they could produce a high-concentration anti-virus vaccine that was ten times stronger.

If the Federation encountered a zombie horde halfway through their attempt to attack the Scavenger Army...

Zhong Lei's breathing became heavy.

Even the Federation would definitely be wiped out there!

Not to mention the Federation, even the entire Eastern region would be dragged into the zombie horde by the vaccine!

Even the Scavenger Army could not avoid being affected by the zombie horde...

"Hurry up. We have limited time. Quickly tell Tian Zhen to think of a way to do it. We don't have much time."

Zhong Lei took a deep breath.

"Okay!"

Watching Zhong Lei rush back to report, Fang Heng also stretched.

It was time to start working again.

Apart from making a large number of anti-mutant worm body injections to deliver to the Federation, he also needed to make a large number of highly concentrated anti-virus vaccines.

Fang Heng had already predicted that tonight would be a sleepless night.

Fine, if this went on, he would definitely stay up all night and die!

After thinking about it, Fang Heng threw down a mattress and quickly went offline to catch up on his sleep.

...

He went online again, and the first thing Fang Heng did was to look for Ding Min.

"Wait a moment."

Ding Min was busy working in front of the experiment table.

After a moment, she put down the temporary potion that she had just finished, turned her head, and looked at Fang Heng.

"We've already done more than half of the research. The sample data we've collected so far is enough for us to improve and develop the first stage of the vaccine."

"Improve and develop? You mean the antibody virus vaccine?"

Fang Heng was stunned.

"Yes. After improving, the probability of zombies mutating will reduce slightly from the vaccine's effectiveness, and the speed of its spread will also increase slightly." Ding Min said. She yawned and explained, "However, the improvement and development will still require some time."

A row of game hints appeared in Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The research team of the Scavenger Army has completed the analysis of Tier 1 mutated zombie live samples * 9. Main storyline — Data collection mission completion rate increased to: 84.124%.]

[Hint: The research team of the Scavenger Army has completed the analysis of Tier 2 mutated zombie live samples * 12. Main storyline — Data collection mission completion rate increased to: 102.288%.]

[Hint: Your current data collection has reached 100%. You can now proceed to level up the vaccine body.]

Fang Heng skimmed through the game hint and suddenly had an epiphany.

Therefore, the high concentration of the antibody virus vaccine could be leveled up.

In theory, as the virus continued to spread and the sample information collected increased, the vaccine would also continue to level up.

By then, the mutation rate of the zombies would improve, and the pressure on them would be greatly reduced.

Fang Heng opened the game hint and checked it again.

[Hint: District 7's vaccine diffusion rate: 0.0005%, Western region's vaccine diffusion rate: 0.0261%, player's zone vaccine diffusion rate: 0%, zone mutation rate: 0%, zone purification rate: 0%.]

Should he increase the vaccine body diffusion rate to 100%? There was also the choice of zone purification rate.

Once the zone purification rate reached 100%, would it mean that the entire zone would be purified?

In the morning, the scorched area's purification rate of 24 was already on the verge of collapse.

Wait...

If he could borrow the Federation's strength, would he be able to increase the purification rate to 100%?

Fang Heng's thoughts started to come alive again.

"Fang Heng."

"Eh?"

Ding Min asked, "When do we start the research and development work?"

"No, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Fang Heng smiled gently and said, "It's too late. It's not good to stay up all night. You should go and rest first. You've worked hard these past two days. I'll give you a day off, and you can continue to rest tomorrow. Leave the rest to me."

New research and development? Improve the mutation rate of zombies?

Fang Heng couldn't wait for the zombies' mutation rate to be as high as possible!

He wasn't in a hurry to develop an improved potion. He would talk about it in the future!

"Eh? Why are you so nice all of a sudden?"

Hearing that she didn't need to stay up all night, Ding Min looked at Fang Heng in surprise.

Ever since Fang Heng became the commander of the Scavenger Army, Ding Min had classified Fang Heng as a fighter.

She was still not used to seeing Fang Heng give her a break.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not a bad person..."

After confirming that Fang Heng was not joking, Ding Min's mood improved a little. She rubbed her sore shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll go rest."

[Hint: Your favorability rating with Ding Min has slightly increased. Ding Min's loyalty to the Scavenger Army has increased to 96].

Fang Heng watched Ding Min leave.

Before he could leave the research room, Osborne brought the anxious Zhong Lei to look for Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng, the Federation has agreed to our conditions!"

Zhong Lei's breathing was somewhat heavy. The first thing he did was to look for Fang Heng and immediately report the latest progress of the Federation to him.

"The materials that the Federation has promised us have already been sent to our union headquarters. In addition, the Federation has also told us that they are very interested in the injection for the anti-fusion Tyrant form's mutant worm body. They will be willing to increase the price to buy the injection."

"Before noon tomorrow, they will want as many injections as we have!"

"Ha! What big words. Aren't they afraid that I will pluck all his wool?"

Fang Heng was delighted when he heard that.

Coincidentally, they didn't have any money, and the Federation sent them money!

Using injections to exchange for medicinal ingredients and money! A business without capital!

Fang Heng's gaze shifted to Osborne at the side.

"Have you prepared the large warehouse that I need? Go gather all the potioneers in the Scavenger Army over there."

"It's already prepared. I'll immediately gather people."

Fang Heng's heart was burning with passion.

Good!

Now, with the medicinal ingredients, the potioneers were also ready, and there was also that spendthrift from the Federation.

Everything was ready!

Tonight, roll it up for me!

...

Fang Heng spent the entire night perfecting his potion-making assembly line.

The NPC potioneers worked tirelessly with the zombie team.

Finally, at 10:30 am the next day, all the anti-mutant worm injections and high-concentration anti-virus vaccines that were supposed to be submitted to the Federation had been completed.

Boxes of finished products and metal boxes containing high-concentration anti-virus vaccines were neatly stacked in the corner of the large warehouse.

A total of six rows!

It was full of a sense of accomplishment!

Fang Heng stretched his body and poured a bottle of coffee into his mouth.

Next, it was time to carry out the next step of the plan.

Let Tian Zhen bring the anti-mutant worm injection to the Federation to ask for money! Then use the money to buy a shelter and build a magnetic field induction device!

At the same time, he had to think of a way to arrange the distribution of the high-concentration antibody virus vaccines in advance to ensure that the Federation could receive the big gift package he prepared.

Even though he had stayed up all night, Fang Heng was still in high spirits when he thought of the plan that was about to be launched.

Outside the warehouse, Zhong Lei also did not go offline to rest for the entire night.

He waited outside the warehouse for the whole night.

The pressure was too great.

President Tian Zhen couldn't sleep at all, so he had Zhong Lei wait outside the warehouse for Fang Heng 24/7, reporting the situation every half an hour. If there was any news, he would report back immediately.

The entire Leftway Gaming Guild had placed their stakes on Fang Heng.

If Fang Heng failed, their game guild would also go bankrupt.

"Hua la la la..."

Hearing the sound of the warehouse door being opened behind him, Zhong Lei quivered.

He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

"Fang Heng? How's the situation?"

Fang Heng stretched lazily and looked at Zhong Lei.

"Hmm, not bad. You've been waiting for me?"

Zhong Lei felt his heart beating wildly.

He couldn't help but poke his head out to look inside the warehouse. He confirmed with Fang Heng once again. "Yes, have you finished the mutant worm body injections and vaccines?"

"Yes, it's done. Get the people of the Federation to prepare to come and pick up the goods."

Zhong Lei saw rows of large boxes in the warehouse. He said in surprise, "All the boxes are filled with anti-mutant worm injections?"

"That's right."

Fang Heng said and waved his hand forward, signaling the Scavenger Army elites to start moving the big boxes filled with anti-mutant worm injections to the teleportation hall.

"In short, I'll leave the rest to you."

Fang Heng said with a vicious expression and instructed, "You must extort a good sum from the Federation!"

"No problem! Leave it to our Leftway Gaming Guild!"

Zhong Lei also clenched his fists tightly, his face showing his excitement.

As he spoke, Fang Heng's expression gradually calmed down as he looked behind Zhong Lei.

"Hey, you, isn't it bad to eavesdrop on others?"

A figure slowly appeared behind Zhong Lei.

"No offense, Fang Heng, I've been waiting for you."

What the hell!

Seeing the person who suddenly appeared behind him, Zhong Lei was shocked.

"Is that so?" Fang Heng shrugged. "I'm sorry, I've been really busy recently. How long have you been waiting?"

"About five hours."

Zhong Lei was a little angry.

He was thinking about whether the people of Black Castle were sick? They actually sneakily lurked by the side for a full five hours!

What made Zhong Lei even more uncomfortable was that he had not noticed the presence of anyone around him!

Wu Siying was expressionless. She glanced sideways at the Scavenger Army elites who were moving boxes behind her.

"Anti-mutant worm injections? What are you thinking? Fang Heng? Are you ready to give up on the main storyline in District 7?"

"Not really."

Fang Heng looked at Wu Siying. "Let's get to the point. What do you want from me?"

"Being able to control the fusion Tyrant form is indeed a surprise to me. This is enough for Black Castle to conduct a new evaluation of you, but this alone is far from enough to take over the final ownership of District 7."

"You should have received the news that the Federation has gathered all their strength to launch an attack on the Scavengers Army."

"It is expected that the Federation will launch an operation before sunset today, and you actually chose to sell the potion to the Federation? What on earth are you thinking?"

When she realized that Fang Heng could control the fusion Tyrant form, Wu Siying was indeed surprised at Fang Heng's strength.

She hoped even more that Fang Heng could join the Black Castle.

Last night, Wu Siying had been waiting for Fang Heng to come to find her.

Faced with the full force of the Federation, she felt that asking for help from the Black Castle was Fang Heng's only choice now.

However, she waited, but Fang Heng did not arrive last night.

Therefore, Wu Siying could only look for Fang Heng herself.

And now, Fang Heng's choice to sell the anti-mutant worm injection once again surprised her.

The fusion Tyrant form was clearly Fang Heng's greatest trump card right now!

Yet, he was using it to exchange for money?

Was he thinking of giving up on the fight for the ownership of District 7?

"Ahem, of course, it's about thinking of earning a sum of money from the Federation."

Wu Siying could no longer understand Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng, if you join Black Castle, we can help you solve the Federation's problems. We can also help you smoothly obtain the final ownership of District 7. Please believe in us. Black Castle will only invite the most outstanding player to join."

"Is that so? I still have to thank you for thinking highly of me."

Fang Heng curled his lips. "But I'm fine now. I don't need your help."

Wu Siying frowned.

She felt that Fang Heng was forcing himself.

"If you join the Black Castle, you can get more resources. It will only be favorable for you..."

"Forget it." Fang Heng waved his hand and interrupted, "Let's make a bet again."

It was that bet again!

Wu Siying shook her head in her heart.

But Fang Heng kept talking.

Chapter 463: Great Effort

"If I manage to resist the Federation, tell me the information about the final outcome of the main storyline. If I fail, you guys can do it instead, and I'll join Black Castle. How's my suggestion? "

"Think about it carefully. Once the Federation starts an all-out attack on the Scavenger Army, we may not be able to help you. "

"Of course. " Fang Heng nodded. "I'm very confident that they can't win. "

Wu Siying stared at Fang Heng.

She was very curious about where Fang Heng's confidence came from.

He could resist the entire Federation of District 7?

After thinking carefully, Wu Siying came to a conclusion.

The gamble was beneficial to her.

Fang Heng had already explicitly refused to join Black Castle.

If Fang Heng could really resist the Federation, then all the more Fang Heng would not choose to join Black Castle, and it would only be a matter of time before Fang Heng took control of the entire District 7.

Giving him information about the main storyline would not change anything, nor would it affect Black Castle. However, the main storyline information could be said to be a timely help to Fang Heng. It was equivalent to doing Fang Heng a favor.

If Fang Heng could not resist the Federation, Black Castle would win the entire bet and smoothly take Fang Heng under their wing.

Wu Siying nodded and said, "All right. Let's bet on this, but I also have a condition. "

Fang Heng's eyes lit up. "Go ahead. "

"No matter what the outcome is, you owe Black Castle a favor. "

"Deal! "

...

Over at the Federation's side, in a large-sized shelter located in the Songxi Mountain area of District 7, Kou Huai personally took charge.

He had mobilized almost all the resources of the Federation in District 7 for the upcoming operation.

There was only one purpose, and it was to completely destroy the Scavenger Army where Fang Heng belonged!

In order to avoid being sabotaged by useless teammates again, only the Federation and the Dark Knights were to be involved in the joint clearing operation.

It was unknown when Fang Heng's existence had started to make Kou Huai feel fear.

Kou Huai decided to put all his chips on the table and destroy the Scavenger Army in one fell swoop!

"Are all the members here? "

"All except the three teams from the Western region have arrived. They can set off at any time. "

The deputy commander of the battlefield reported to Kou Huai, "Sir, yesterday, there was a super-sized zombie wave in the Western region for unknown reasons. The Western region suffered heavy casualties. At present, the zombie wave in the Western region is no longer spawning, but the crisis has not been resolved yet. The three teams from the Federation are doing their best to resist the aftermath of the super-sized zombie wave. I'm afraid they won't be able to participate in the joint killing of the Scavenger Army this time. "

"Okay, I got it. " Kou Huai hummed. He had heard about what happened in the Western region the day before. However, for the time being, his attention was focused on Fang Heng, so he was not in the mood to pay attention to the crisis in the Western region.

Turning around to look at Xiao Changle, Kou Huai asked him again, "This has nothing to do with the Scavenger Army or Fang Heng, right? "

Xiao Changle's face turned serious. "I promise, absolutely not! "

"Sir, the potion from Leftway Gaming Guild has been delivered, and the test has been completed. The effect is confirmed to be excellent. The potion can resist the mutant worm body for a short period of time. "

"Okay! " Kou Huai's eyes lit up.

The most troublesome problem had been solved.

With the potion, Fang Heng's trump card, the mutant worm body Tyrant, would be rendered useless.

However, Leftway Gaming Guild was still hateful!

They took advantage of the situation and demanded an exorbitant price for each bottle of anti-mutant worm body potion!

Kou Huai gritted his teeth, stomaching his anger.

He secretly swore.

After dealing with Fang Heng, he would make Leftway Gaming Guild cough out all the money!

"Sir! The heavy weapons are ready. "

"Distribute all the resources. Get everyone ready. Take down the Scavenger Army in one go! We will move out in ten minutes! "

"Understood! "

Seeing that Xiao Changle was hesitating, Kou Huai frowned and asked, "Is there anything else you need to report? "

"Sir, we suspect that the Scavenger Army might have been prepared in advance. Not long ago, we received a report. Many players who are cooperating with us reported that they found that the members of the Scavenger Army were retreating. "

Kou Huai hummed, not paying much mind to it as it was normal for news of such a big operation to leak out.

Fang Heng must have also received the news in advance.

"So, he wants to give up the Scavenger Army's periphery defense and shrink the defense line like a coward? Ha! Let's see how long you can be cowardly for! " Kou Huai could not help but sneer in his heart.

He then ordered, "Ignore them. Proceed according to the plan. The whole army will set off in ten minutes! "

"Understood! "

With the order, the Federation soldiers marched in the direction of the Scavenger Army.

...

Two hours later, the first team of the Federation arrived at Edge Creek Town.

"Reporting, sir! " The first team in front had arrived at Edge Creek Town and found that there was no resistance in the town. The second and seventh teams had entered Edge Creek Town three minutes ago to investigate, but they did not find any traces of the Scavenger Army. It was confirmed that the Scavenger Army soldiers in Edge Creek town had retreated in advance.

"Okay. " Kou Huai's expression didn't change, and he sneered in his heart, "As expected! They caught wind of the news and fled in advance! We'll fight our way to your main base. Try to escape if you can then. "

He then commanded, "Continue to attack. There's no need to take a detour. Go directly to the Scavenger Army headquarter! "

"Yes! "

On a small hill far away from Edge Creek Town.

Fang Heng sat on the ground casually, holding a telescope and observing the ground from a distance. He stuffed an Oreo biscuit into his mouth.

After the Federation teams took over Edge Creek Town, they took a short rest in Edge Creek town, then quickly continued to move forward.

Looking from a high vantage point, the Federation teams banded together, exuding an imposing aura.

Fang Heng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Do you see that? There are so many high-level weapons. It seems that Kou Huai really wants to kill me. He has spent a lot of money. "

Wu Siying stood beside Fang Heng and asked, "Fang Heng, what exactly are you planning? Once the Federation officially starts to take action, even we can't guarantee that we can save the Scavenger Army. "

"There's no need for you to save them. Our Scavenger Army is determined to stay alive and destroy this world. After all, anti-forces usually last till the end. "

Fang Heng had a plan.

As he spoke, he turned on the survival radio and sent a message to Zhong Lei, "Do it! "

Zhong Lei, who was in the sewer under Edge Creek Town, received the news and immediately spread the news to his subordinates.

The players in every corner of the underground sewer in Edge Creek Town received Zhong Lei's message and immediately opened the valve on the metal box at the side.

Almost at the same time, game hints appeared in front of Fang Heng.

"Hint: your player team has released a highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine... "

"Hint: the vaccine's spread has caused a mutation in the virus in the area. "

"Hint: District 7's vaccine's spread: 0.0004% , Eastern region's vaccine's spread: 0.00% , player's zone vaccine diffusion rate: 0.001% ; zone mutation rate: 0.0001% , zone purification rate: 0% . "

Chapter 464: Trap

Wu Siying frowned.

She really could not understand what kind of backup plan Fang Heng had.

In the face of the Federation's absolute strength, all resistance was futile.

"The game has begun, " Fang Heng said as he threw away the Oreo biscuit in his hand.

In the dense forest behind him, eight fusion Tyrant forms and hundreds of Lickers were ready to make a move.

The federal team drove their combat trucks on the main road. In the middle of the team, there were even dozens of high-tier armored tanks.

There were also helicopters in the air to scout and provide support.

Fang Heng raised his binoculars and looked ahead.

He saw that the Federation team even had the Dark Knights with them.

Liang Hucheng was relatively more familiar with the terrain of Edge Creek Town.

For the current operation, he was appointed by Kou Huai as the leader of the vanguard exploration team. He personally led three teams to open the path at the front to investigate any ambushes they might encounter along the way.

Liang Hucheng had always been very cautious.

"Wait! " Halfway through the journey, Liang Hucheng keenly noticed something and extended his hand to signal for the team to temporarily stop in their tracks.

Under the soil on both sides of the road, withered white palms extended upward.

Woo...

Along with the moaning of the zombies, the soil rolled, and the resurrected zombies struggled to climb out of the soil.

Bang, bang, bang!

Liang Hucheng's federal team behind immediately pulled the trigger, and the powerful firepower was aimed at the zombie team.

In almost an instant, the zombie team that emerged from the ground was completely killed.

Liang Hucheng heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that he was too tense.

It was just a coincidence that they encountered a small-scale zombie wave.

Just as they were about to continue their journey, Liang Hucheng heard a player shout, "Captain! Look over there. "

Hearing that, Liang Hucheng immediately looked in the direction that his subordinate pointed.

The soil on both sides of the road in front of them also began to churn. A dense mass of greenish-gray palms stretched out from the churning soil.

The gathered zombie team had already strolled onto the main road.

Liang Hucheng began to feel that something was a little strange, thinking, "Two consecutive zombie waves? Could it be that the probability of triggering the zombie wave increased because there are too many players gathered? "

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The Federation elites pulled the trigger again.

After a series of bullets were fired, the gunshots paused.

While the player switched their magazines, another zombie team wave emerged from the soil on both sides of the road.

The resurrected zombie teams seemed to be endless.

Liang Hucheng's brows were tightly knitted together.

He realized that the trouble had just begun.

Just then, a player shouted, "Look over there! There's more over there! "

Another shouted, "And over there! "

"Why are there so many of them? " Liang Hucheng's expression changed slightly.

Something was wrong!

Zombies were resurrecting not just in front of the federal team but also on both sides of the road behind them.

The speed and range of the zombies' resurrection were rapidly expanding!

Liang Hucheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

He thought, "Is it just a coincidence? Or is it an ambush by the Scavenger Army? "

Then, recalling the giant-sized zombie wave that broke out in the center of the Western region the day before, he mused, "No! Damn it! It could be the same giant-sized zombie wave! We're definitely in trouble! "

Liang Hucheng then decisively shouted, "Stop the operation for now! Set up a defensive line on the spot and report the situation to the commander immediately! "

"Yes! "

Behind the federal team, Kou Huai also heard the gunshots coming from the front.

The increasingly dense gunshots made him feel frustrated.

"Reporting to the commander! A zombie wave has been discovered in the area ahead! "

"A zombie wave? " Kou Huai was confused.

He mused, "Why are they taking so long to clean up a mere zombie wave? GIven the current strength of our team, it should be an easy feat. "

The Signal Corps soldier didn't know how to explain the situation in front of them, either. "Sir, the zombie wave is expanding. The front scouting team has fallen into the range of the zombie wave. There are still a lot of zombies resurrecting from underground! "

While they were talking, gunshots were heard around them.

Kou Huai looked out of the window.

A dense zombie team emerged from the bushes on both sides of the road and rushed toward the main road.

Kou Huai narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Changle, who was in charge of the intelligence department. "What's going on? "

Xiao Changle's face froze. "How would I know? I've never seen such a scene before! "

Ahem.

Facing Kou Huai's murderous gaze, Xiao Changle coughed and pretended to be calm. "Sir, in theory, it should be because we have too many people, which triggered the random high-level zombie wave in the game. The strength of the zombies is not high. For safety reasons, I suggest that we clean up the zombie wave before we take action, "

Kou Huai ordered, "Pass on my order to set up a defensive line on the spot. We will take action after we clean up the zombie wave. "

"Yes, Sir! " replied Xiao Changle.

Kou Huai glared at Xiao Changle.

The gunshots that had been ringing in his ears contributed to Kou Huai's growing frustration.

Less than two minutes later, the Signal Corps soldier hurried over again. "Sir, according to the information we got from the helicopter, the zombie wave... " Looking bewildered, he continued, "The zombie wave is continuously spreading! "

"This... " Xiao Changle frowned and mumbled to himself, "This is not right. Theoretically, the zombie wave will not spread... "

Fang Heng!

Kou Huai's heart sank.

He immediately realized that the present zombie wave was abnormal.

It was very likely that Fang Heng was sabotaging them! Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

"Report the strength of the zombie wave. "

"Other than the abnormally huge range, the zombie waves are mostly normal. Most of them are composed of normal zombies. There is a small number of Tier 1 zombies, with a handful of Tier 2 mutated zombies. "

Kou Huai sneered in his heart upon hearing the report.

In order to completely wipe out the Scavenger Army, they had brought enough resources to complete a round of war of attrition!

"Pass down the order. Assume formation on the spot and kill as many as possible! "

"Understood! "

The federal team immediately formed a line at their original spot and began to defend against the zombie wave.

In the distance, on the hillside.

Seeing that the federal team didn't choose to retreat but to defend on the spot, Fang Heng showed a knowing expression.

He knew that Kou Huai wouldn't give up so easily.

If Kou Huai and the others had chosen to obediently retreat, he wouldn't have known how to react.

But once the Federation chose to stay on the spot and defend for a while, then they would be dragged into the quagmire by the mutated zombie wave that was constantly spawning!

"Fang Heng. "

Wu Siying looked at the federal team that was surrounded by the zombie horde below and asked, "How did you do it? "

"It's a secret. "

"It's impossible to resist the Federation with these zombies alone. "

"Don't worry. Just wait and see. "

As the two of them were talking, Zhong Lei drove a motorcycle from afar and stopped in front of Fang Heng.

He glanced at Wu Siying beside him and whispered into Fang Heng's ear, "Boss, it's done. Those left in the sewer have retreated ahead of time. "

"Well, thank you for your hard work. "

In Fang Heng's vision, rows of game hints refreshed rapidly.

"Warning: your team is continuously releasing highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine. "

"Warning: the highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine is extremely unstable and is undergoing mutation. "

"Hint (based on low-level game difficulty) : you can try to obtain information on the mutation to increase the controllability of the vaccine. "

"Hint: current zone mutation rate: 5.42% , zone purification rate: 0.23% . "

Chapter 465: Plan Scorpio

What the h*ll was going on?

Tier 4 mutated zombie? !

Ever since the appearance of the Tier 4 mutated zombies, the Federation players began to lose their cool.

It was definitely not a normal zombie wave!

Normal zombie waves would never spawn a Tier 4 one-eyed zombie!

It must be a conspiracy of the Scavenger Army! !

Zombie waves kept emerging from the ground, and even the powerful firepower of the Federation was unable to stop them.

"Sir! Based on aerial observation, we have been surrounded by a large number of zombies! "

"Sir, according to the latest situation update, the entire Edge Creek Town in District 7 has been attacked by an extremely terrifying giant-sized zombie wave. This zombie wave attack is similar to the one that happened in the scorched area of the Western region yesterday. However, its strength and speed of expansion are far greater than yesterday... "

"Sir, a Tier 4 mutated zombie will pose a great threat to us! Requesting permission to use heavy weapons. "

Kou Huai said in a deep voice, "Permission granted! "

"Roger! "

They had to defend against the wave consisting Tier 4 zombies!

"Is this your trump card, Fang Heng? " Kou Huai muttered to himself softly. He knew very well that they could not retreat from the present wave.

If they retreated, they would give the Scavenger Army more time to catch their breath, which was something Kou Huai wanted to prevent and was afraid of.

Every time he gave Fang Heng time to catch his breath, the latter's strength would increase greatly!

Kou Huai was afraid that if he retreated at the current point in time, the next time he saw Fang Heng, the latter would bring out all the Tier 6 zombies!

...

"Hint: current zone mutation rate: 15.42% , zone purification zone: 28.5344% . "

Fang Heng stood on a high slope and watched the Federation kill the zombie team.

The zone purification rate was increasing rapidly!

"Good! Keep going, keep going! " Fang Heng secretly cheered for the Federation.

He wanted the purification rate to quickly reach 100% and see if there were any new changes.

"I got it! " Wu Siying finally understood everything when she saw Tier 5 mutated zombies appearing below. "I was mistaken. "

Fang Heng was still cheering for the Federation in his heart. When he heard Wu Siying's whispers, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Eh? What did you say? "

"I figured it out. You played a trick on Night Owl. You've completed the construction of the Tier 3 space tearing device, right? " Wu Siying's eyes flashed with confidence as she met Fang Heng's gaze. "Perhaps others might not know, but you can't hide it from me. I've experienced the ending of a certain Zombie Apocalypse before, so I'm very clear that the only thing that can cause such a terrifying zombie wave is the anti-virus vaccine! So you must have spread a large amount of anti-virus vaccine in the Edge Creek Town area, huh? "

Fang Heng curled his lips, thinking that Wu Siying had hit the mark.

Wu Siying continued, "Everything has a reasonable explanation. The disappearance of the first-generation meteorite in District 5 was also your doing. Don't deny this. Night Owl has already confirmed your previously forged identity. They've also confirmed that the first-generation meteorite and a large number of blue crystal ores in District 5 have been seized by the Federation. However, from the Federation's internal operational information regarding District 5, there is no mention of the seizure of the first-generation meteorite and a large number of blue crystal ores. You were the one who took them all, weren't you? " She looked at Fang Heng with a burning gaze.

Wu Siying had finally figured it out! Her evaluation of Fang Heng rose to an extremely high level in a short period of time. She finally understood that she had always underestimated Fang Heng. "Impressive. Through the first-generation meteorite in District 5, you forcefully joined the main storyline in District 8. Then, you used the vaccine developed through the main storyline to spread it in District 7. I have to say that it is a well-thought-out plan. You could only have done this under the premise of creating a Tier 3 space tearing device and possessing a large number of blue crystal ores! "

Wu Siying gave the final conclusion, "So, Night Owl was fooled by you. They mistakenly thought that the main storyline of District 8 had been cut off, and no one there could create a Tier 3 space tearing device anymore. But you did it. Not only did you do it, but you also kept it a secret. Your ambition is not only the main storyline in District 7 but also that in District 8, right? "

Faced with Wu Siying's aggressive questioning, Fang Heng maintained a calm expression.

However, Zhong Lei, who was standing beside him, could not remain calm.

What the heck!

Zhong Lei himself had not obtained much information about the game's advancement. He listened to the section about District 7 and District 8 in a daze, but he heard a few key points.

Fang Heng could jump back and forth between District 7 and District 8? And the vampire invasion in District 5 was also related to Fang Heng? He secretly stole the first-generation meteorite from there? And then he used the vaccine developed using the first-generation meteorite to cause trouble in District 7? The guy was really an elite!

"All right. Just take it that you guessed correctly. " Fang Heng waved his hand. He felt that the other party had already guessed most of the truth, so there was no need to continue hiding it. "Let's get back to the main topic. Guessing is guessing, and gambling is gambling. You've lost this gamble. "

Wu Siying closed her eyes.

She did not lose the round indignantly since she had obtained a high-value piece of information, and that was about Fang Heng having obtained great control over the main storyline of District 8!

According to Fang Heng's current ability, even if he lost the final ownership of District 7, the final ownership of District 8 would still have a high probability of being taken by him!

Following that, aside from Black Castle, the Federation's attitude toward Fang Heng would inevitably change drastically.

Cooperation was the best way.

Wu Siying made her decision and opened her eyes, nodding as she said, "If one is willing to bet, one must be willing to admit their loss. Since you are not willing to join Black Castle, we will not force you. We can still maintain a cooperative relationship. Remember, you still owe Black Castle a favor. "

As she spoke, Wu Siying leaned over and whispered into Fang Heng's ear, "Plan Scorpio. "

"What do you mean? "

"Follow this clue and continue to investigate. My special talent can weaken some of the damage inflicted by the regulations. Saying those two words have already caused me to lose a large number of King of Gods' points. I can't explain further, but the clue will definitely help you. "

Wu Siying shook her head as she spoke, then slowly retreated. "My mission this time has already been completed. I look forward to our next cooperation. Very soon, after you've obtained the ownership of the world, we'll meet again. I wish you good luck. "

Fang Heng watched as Wu Siying's figure gradually faded away until she disappeared before his eyes.

Zhong Lei was still stunned on the spot. He felt that the amount of information the two of them had exchanged was a bit too much for him to digest.

So, Fang Heng was currently fighting on both sides of District 7 and District 8 at the same time? However, what the hell was a Tier 3 space tearing device? A tool that Fang Heng used to travel across districts repeatedly? So, the teleportation gate could be further leveled up?

Just as Zhong Lei was feeling dizzy, he heard Fang Heng calling out to him.

"Zhong Lei. "

"Eh? "

"Plan Scorpio. " Fang Heng revealed a thoughtful expression as he asked, "Do you know anything about it? "

Zhong Lei shook his head in confusion. "I've never heard of it. Is it very important information? I can go back and borrow the strength of the guild to investigate it. "

"Mhm, check it immediately after you go back. Remember to keep it a secret. "

"All right. "

At Zhong Lei's response, Fang Heng retracted his gaze and continued to look at the battlefield below.

Chapter 466: Breakthrough

In Edge Creek Town of District 7, a zombie team swarmed toward the central main road.

Armored trucks formed a circle, forming a weak defense net.

Under the heavy firepower of the Federation, the zombie team in the periphery fell.

However, just as they fell, the inner zombies swarmed out to the periphery.

"Howitzer! Quick! Howitzer! "

"Tier 5 giant zombie! " Seeing the giant hand from deep underground, the deputy commander of the Federation was shocked. The Federation elites were also shocked.

"It's a giant zombie! Get the light cannon ready! Don't let it come back to life! "

"Sir, I suggest we retreat. " Xiao Changle panicked. He immediately tried to persuade Kou Huai, who was standing next to him, "The zombie wave is still spreading rapidly. It is spreading at an extremely fast speed, and there is no sign of it stopping. If it continues like this... "

"Shut up! " Kou Huai's eyes were bloodshot.

Retreat at the current juncture? And leave Fang Heng alone?

Bam!

Just then, Kou Huai staggered as the ground of the highway cracked open. A giant, greenish-gray hand suddenly reached out of the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom

Several howitzer shells hit the zombie's hand!

The giant zombie pushed away the heavy rocks on the ground and tried to crawl out of the ground.

"Let's retreat... " Xiao Changle's voice was pleading. "Let's just count Fang Heng lucky this time that we encountered the zombie wave. We will die if we continue like this. "

He tried to persuade them patiently, "We can go back first and come back after a while. There's no need to fight the zombie wave head-on... "

Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly. He didn't believe what Xiao Changle said about encountering the zombie wave out of bad luck!

It was obvious that Fang Heng had planned all of it in advance!

But he had no choice but to make the decision to retreat, no matter how unwilling he was in his heart!

Kou Huai had a strong premonition.

Once he retreated at the current juncture, he would no longer be able to pose an effective threat to Fang Heng.

He was about to lose the final battle for the ownership of the entire District 7.

More than ten years of planning would be destroyed in an instant!

Kou Huai clenched his teeth and spat out two words, "Retreat! "

"Yes! ! " Xiao Changle felt relieved to keep his life. He hurriedly shouted through his communicator, "Retreat! Evacuate the non-combatants first! Quick! Don't you hear me? ! "

It was easier said than done to retreat!

Even the powerful Federation would suffer losses when surrounded by zombie team after zombie team!

The helicopter hovered in the air and lowered the rope from above.

"Sir, let's retreat first. "

Kou Huai took a deep breath and climbed up the rope ladder.

Xiao Changle followed behind Kou Huai and boarded the helicopter.

He heaved a sigh of relief and looked down with a guilty conscience.

He finally retreated to safety.

"Wait, what is that! ? " Xiao Changle's heart was seized in an instant.

He saw a rocket launcher attack flying toward the helicopter from afar.

"Quick! Get out of the way! "

The helicopter quickly pulled up.

Xiao Changle's hands were tightly clutching the steel pipe of a handrail!

The helicopter narrowly avoided the rocket launcher attack.

Kou Huai's pupils constricted as he looked through the window of the helicopter in the direction of where the rocket launcher attack came from.

He vaguely saw several tall figures standing on the high slope in the distance.

It was fusion Tyrant forms!

"Fang Heng! " Kou Huai's eyes were about to pop out.

"Ha, what a pity. I haven't mastered heavy weapons. My aim isn't that good... "

In the distance, on a hill, Fang Heng was using binoculars to observe the helicopter in the distance. "But... "

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Behind Fang Heng, the eight fusion Tyrant forms raised their rocket launchers once again and fired another round at the helicopter in mid-air.

"Again! "

Swish, swish, swish!

Under the attack of the rocket launchers, the helicopter dodged left and right in a frenzy.

However, after several rounds of firing, a rocket launcher shell hit the helicopter in the air.

Boom! ! !

After being hit head-on, the entire helicopter exploded in the air!

"This... " Zhong Lei looked at Fang Heng carefully from the side.

Kou Huai was on that plane, right? So Kou Huai was also dead, right?

Zhong Lei looked at Fang Heng, and an unspeakable admiration rose from the bottom of his heart.

He really killed the highest-ranking executive officer of District 7 of the Federation just because of a disagreement? Why did it feel like he was a little more terrifying than the anti-federation forces?

Looking at the helicopter that exploded into a ball of fireworks in the air, Fang Heng couldn't help but sigh in relief.

In fact, Kou Huai had given him a lot of pressure.

According to the game's settings, after a player died, they would undergo rebirth in the King of Gods' space for a period of time.

During that period of time, the player could log in and log out as usual, but they were unable to enter the various game worlds. Hence, it was known as lockdown time.

Seeing that the players from the Federation were beginning to retreat in an orderly manner, Fang Heng waved his hand.

The restless Lickers in the forest immediately charged into the zombie team.

Apart from that, there was a large number of mutant worm bodies that had been prepared beforehand.

The Federation had bought many injections, so he had to make them waste some for them to buy more.

Fang Heng was busy musing to himself when something caught his attention. "Eh? "

Dark red hints rapidly refreshed in the bottom right corner of his retina.

"Hint: you have killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie and obtained survival points... "

"Hint: the current zone purification rate has reached 100% . The present Edge Creek Town zone has been purified! "

"Hint: evolution has been completed. The present Edge Creek Town zone will not have a random zombie wave spawning. "

"Hint: player has triggered the main storyline ending mission (normal ending) 'Beautiful New World. ' "

What the hell! Ending?

Fang Heng immediately clicked on the details to check.

Mission description: the antibody potion developed through the first-generation meteorite has the ability to purify the contaminated world! Even though you encountered a huge setback, you have temporarily purified this land! You have obtained the method to save the entire world!

Mission requirements: purify all regions of the world (if there are multiple player teams that have triggered the ending mission, they will share the mission. In the end, the first team with the highest contribution points ranking will receive all the rewards. The team reward will be distributed to individual players according to their contribution points) .

Mission reward: after completing the mission, the ending 'Beautiful New World' (A-level) will be triggered. Player will receive the mission reward for completing the ending and additional main storyline contribution points. After the ending has been completed, players in District 7 will be ranked according to the total main storyline contribution points, and the first-ranked player will receive the right to reign over District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse.

"Main storyline... 'Beautiful New World' ... " Fang Heng muttered to himself and continued disdainfully, "How ironic. "

Fang Heng took a deep breath and thought about what he should do next.

Currently, he had already triggered two normal endings.

They were respectively the tyrannical route where the Scavenger Army forcefully took over the world and the saintly route of vaccine development.

Therefore, the main storyline of District 8 was probably the saintly route.

Difficulty-wise, the two missions were similar.

Chapter 467: New Clue

Fang Heng made a rough deduction in his mind.

Even if he could continue developing and optimizing the vaccine in District 7, greatly increasing the level of the vaccine antibodies and reducing the speed and intensity of the zombie mutation, how long would it take to produce the amount of vaccine needed to purify the entire world, not to mention purify the entire world?

Fang Heng could already envision an extremely long battle ahead.

And in the long battle, the Federation and Night Owl would come looking for trouble for him!

"Annoying! " Fang Heng rubbed his shoulders.

Perhaps there were other ways to trigger other quests to complete the main storyline faster.

Currently, there were only two clues left that could be traced.

The Hila experiment was one of them, which needed some time to work on. Leftway Gaming Guild had to be fully constructed before more boxes that were previously buried by Meteorite Company and the Hila tissue samples within them could be found.

The other clue was the information that Black Castle had just obtained, Plan Scorpio.

Fang Heng gradually sorted out his thoughts and began to plan the next step.

At present, the entire Federation suffered severe losses. Even Kou Huai had been killed by him and temporarily could not personally command the federal team.

At the very least, the Federation would not be able to organize a decent attack against the Scavenger Army in the near future.

Fang Heng could rest assured and boldly use the funds provided by the Federation to purchase industries in District 7. He could set up an electromagnetic induction tower and collect a Hila tissue sample to increase the strength of the Tyrant form.

The research and upgrading of the vaccine, the collection of the Hila tissue sample, and Plan Scorpio had to proceed simultaneously!

Who knew if there would be any mishaps after the main storyline. It was always good to have more preparation.

"Hey, Fang Heng... " Zhong Lei had no choice but to interrupt Fang Heng, who was deep in thought. "If we don't leave now, we'll be surrounded by the zombie team. "

Fang Heng stopped thinking. "Okay, let's go. "

Zhong Lei took a deep breath and took one last look at the area of Edge Creek Town, which was hellishly surrounded by the zombie team.

If someone told him that Fang Heng was an anti-federal organization terrorist at the present moment, he would definitely believe it.

...

"Fang Heng, this battle was beautifully fought! This is the first time Kou Huai and the others have lost so miserably! " Tian Zhen had been paying attention to Fang Heng's situation at all times. After receiving the news that the Federation had suffered a great defeat and that Kou Huai had even lost his life on the spot, he was greatly excited!

The gamble paid off!

Their entire Leftway Gaming Guild would rise up together with Fang Heng in District 7!

"Affected by this time's giant-sized zombie wave, the players of District 7 have lost much confidence in the Federation. I've already spread the word that similar zombie waves will continue to occur throughout District 7. Many guilds have already been affected and are starting to sell their shelters to the outside world. I reckon that the price of shelters will soon plummet. At that time, we will be able to buy more shelters at a lower price and complete the production plan for the electromagnetic induction tower. In order to save money, I believe that we only need to buy a medium-sized shelter. After all, our goal is only to build the induction tower. " Tian Zhen was increasingly trusting Fang Heng as a teammate. He felt as if everything was already under Fang Heng's control, and the Federation was being played around by Fang Heng.

"All right. You decide. " Fang Heng was also very satisfied with this new teammate.

For the time being, the plan to find Hila tissue sample could be handed over to him to carry out.

"Okay, and about the Plan Scorpio that you mentioned earlier, this is the relevant information that I asked people to gather, " Tian Zhen said as he handed a file to Fang Heng.

"Huh? " Fang Heng flipped open the file and had a thought. He raised his head and asked, "Meteorite Company? "

"Yes, we can confirm that Plan Scorpio is a project led by Meteorite Company. There are huge gaps in the information, and I'm not clear about the details of the project. The information was provided by a player from our guild. About a few years ago in a nursing home, before she joined the company, she accidentally triggered a related mission. According to her, she had seen information about Plan Scorpio then. Unfortunately, she died in the nursing home at that time. The mission was halted, too. Then, it was abandoned. After so much time has passed, the players in the nursing home might have already triggered the mission. Searching for the mission now might not be of much use. "

Indeed, District 7 had been in service for far too long.

Places that potentially had hidden missions had probably already been searched countless times by the players.

In theory, if there had been a hidden mission, it would have been triggered a long time ago.

"Yeah. Anyway, we still have to go over and check it out. "

"The coordinates of the nursing home are in the North District. It's too far to drive there. I'll get Zhong Lei to bring you there through the teleportation passage of the other guilds. "

"Okay. "

...

Leftway Gaming Guild had always been very efficient.

Half an hour later, Zhong Lei and Fang Heng entered the North District through a teleportation passage and drove on the wide snowy road.

The coordinates for the trip were an abandoned nursing home, Far Mountain Nursing Home.

It was built halfway up the mountain.

It was a world of ice and snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.

If they had started randomly in the area at the beginning, it would definitely have been hell-level difficulty.

Players would face the risk of hypothermia, and survival would be extremely difficult.

The good news was that, perhaps because there weren't many humans living in the area, the zombie density and zombie wave intensity were much lower compared to other areas.

Fang Heng drove the car toward the target location.

Time was short, so Fang Heng didn't bring the zombie team with him.

He didn't have much hope for the trip.

A faint light flashed, and Zhong Lei went online from the passenger seat.

He changed into a thick winter suit.

"Hey, Fang Heng, Good News. I just broke through North District's forum's firewall to search for Far Mountain Nursing Home, and I found out quite a lot. "

Fang Heng's attention was drawn over. "Huh? What did you find? "

"There are quite a few players in the Eastern region who have explored Far Mountain Nursing Home. I heard that they were all attacked inside. I even found a few related party member recruitment posts, but there was no follow-up. I think they were all wiped out. " Zhong Lei said excitedly, "The good news is that I just found the latest party recruitment post. It seems that they have some relevant information. "

"Are you saying that the nursing home has not been fully explored by the players? "

"Yes! " Zhong Lei nodded and uttered, "This place is freezing. The big guilds would not choose to build a shelter here. The location of the nursing home is also very secure since it is built halfway up the mountain. "

Fang Heng sped up and nodded, "That is good news. "

"There's an apocalypse merchant camp not far from the fork in the road ahead. " Zhong Lei said with a smile, "Let's go to the Apocalypse merchant camp first. The group on the forum seems to have gone in to explore a few times. I contacted them online and discussed exploring the nursing home with them. I think we should be able to get some useful information from them. "

Fang Heng agreed, "That makes sense. "

Chapter 468: History of the Nursing Home

After spending more than three hours, Fang Heng and Zhong Lei arrived at the apocalypse merchant camp.

The camp was built in a world of ice and snow, and it looked rather dilapidated.

If it were any other place, the apocalypse merchant camp would have long been occupied by a large-sized guild.

Inside a small wooden cabin in the camp, two men and a woman sat at a table. They simultaneously raised their heads to size up Fang Heng and Zhong Lei, who had just entered.

"Zhong Lei? Fang Shuo? "

"Yes, hello. Yi Qi, is it? We've communicated on the forum. "

Yi Qi and the other two looked at Zhong Lei and Fang Heng suspiciously.

"I thought you guys were joking. I didn't expect you guys to really come all the way here. "

Yi Qi was a middle-aged big beardy man with a shotgun on his back.

"Let me get this straight. Our team has been exploring the nursing home for more than a month. We need elites. If you just want to gain some experience after joining the team, you can get lost now. "

"Of course, we are very sincere. "

The three of them looked at each other.

The capable woman with short hair said, "I am Vera, the long-range support in the team. You claim to know some secrets about Far Mountain Nursing Home. Let's exchange information. "

The young man who had been silent all the while added, "You guys go first. "

Fang Heng was baffled and confused.

They were there to inquire about the news. How would they have information to share?

Ahem.

Zhong Lei coughed lightly and whispered into Fang Heng's ear, "When I contacted them online earlier, I casually fooled them. I was acting according to the situation. "

Zhong Lei looked at Vera and said, "I don't think this is fair. "

"It's indeed not fair. " Yi Qi nodded and said, "So you can refuse to cooperate and go back if you wish. "

Zhong Lei frowned.

"It's okay, Zhong Lei. It's just some information. We will show our sincerity. But after our introduction, please fill in the blanks. What do you think? "

"Okay, it's very fair. "

Fang Heng nodded and stood up. "Wait a moment. I'll be back soon. "

Under everyone's eyes, Fang Heng slowly walked to the merchants of the apocalypse merchant camp behind the counter.

"What do you need? Survival points? "

"Hey, I want to check the materials that are sold to the public. "

"Feel free to look. The goods here are all top-notch. "

"Hint: you have spent 342 thousand survival points to purchase all the remaining items available for sale in the survival camp. Your favorability rating with Anit has increased. "

"Hint: you have sold some items such as pliers, cauldrons, oil drums, cotton seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on. Your favorability rating with Anit has increased. "

"Hint: you have spent 341 thousand survival points to purchase all remaining items available for sale in the survival camp. Your favorability rating with Anit has increased... "

"Hint: your favorability rating with Anit has increased to that of close friends. "

More than a minute passed, and the old-fashioned apocalypse merchant, Anit, broke the silence.

"All right, Fang Heng, because it's you. "

"Thank you so much. "

"Give me a moment. " Anit turned around and rummaged under the counter for a moment. Finally, he took a bunch of keys and walked toward Yi Qi and the others.

He stood in front of the table.

"I'll tell you the story of that nursing home. Where do I begin... I remember that building was already there when I was born. It was still an orphanage at that time. The orphanage was a charity project of Meteorite Company. Every year, Meteorite Company would make a donation to the orphanage. Oh right, they weren't called Meteorite Company at that time. "

He continued, "There are many rumors about that orphanage. I've heard many unreliable rumors, such as monsters, mental patients, and so on. Some people even said that the meteorite company was using those children to conduct inhuman human experiments in the orphanage. "

Anit's face showed disdain. "Nonsense. Who would believe that? After Meteorite Company's research on the zombie virus was exposed, their finances were greatly affected. They stopped investing in charity. The orphanage was forced to disband due to a lack of funds. This house was bought by an outsider and converted into the current nursing home. After that, the zombie apocalypse happened, and Far Mountain Nursing Home gradually became abandoned. "

He sighed and uttered, "I advise you to be careful. Ever since the zombie crisis broke out, that place has become strange, and the wild beasts in the mountains rarely go near it. There have always been survivors who want to go into the nursing home to check, but as far as I know, these people almost never have a good ending. "

While speaking, Anit placed the keys he had just found onto the table and pushed it toward Fang Heng. "This is the key to the abandoned nursing home. "

Everyone raised their heads in surprise.

"Anit, why do you have the keys to the nursing home? "

"On a certain night after the zombie apocalypse broke out, the youngest son of the nursing home director came to me. He told me that there were monsters in the nursing home and that his family had all died at the hands of the monsters. He wanted to use the nursing home to exchange for a pistol from me. "

Anit shrugged and continued, "To be honest, I rarely agree to loss-making deals. At that time, I thought it was a good deal, so I agreed. Later, I found out that the place was much more dangerous than I thought. You all know that this failed business is a matter of losing face. If you want to go into the nursing home to investigate, help me get some valuable things from it. "

"Hint: player team has triggered the mission 'Anit's Honor. ' "

Mission name: Anit's Honor.

Mission difficulty: B .

Mission description: you have learned about the history of Far Mountain Nursing Home from the apocalypse merchant Anit. Anit hopes that you can collect 2,000 survival points worth of materials from the nursing home and give them to him.

Mission reward: Anit's favorability rating, survival points, and Anit's treasure.

"No problem, Anit. Leave this mission to me. " Fang Heng picked up the bunch of keys as he spoke.

"Hint: you have obtained an ancient bunch of keys. "

Item: an ancient bunch of keys.

Description: the keys of Far Mountain Nursing Home. It looks a little shabby.

"Very well. I wish you good luck. If you need any materials, you can look for me to purchase them. " After saying that, Anit returned to the back of the counter.

Yi Qi and the others fell silent at the same time. They all looked at Fang Heng with a strange gaze.

It was a little strange.

They had spent so much effort gathering information, but they had not been able to gather any information or missions about the nursing home. Yet, the player who appeared out of nowhere had actually obtained information just by casually chatting with a merchant, even triggering a mission and obtaining the keys.

Zhong Lei was also baffled. He even suspected that Fang Heng had been to the area before. "How on earth did Fang Heng do it? " he wondered.

Chapter 469: Investigation

"How is it? Do you still have any questions? " Fang Heng held the bunch of keys in his hand and fiddled with it. "That's about all we know about Far Mountain Nursing Home. Do you have any additional information? "

Yi Qi and the others looked at each other, and finally, Yi Qi said, "Thank you for your information. In fact, we don't know much about the background of Far Mountain Nursing Home. However, we've entered the nursing home three times before, trying to investigate the situation inside. "

Fang Heng's interest was piqued. He sat up straight and asked, "What are the details? "

"In the beginning, we only did a simple search of the nursing home. After cleaning up a few mutated zombies in the nursing home, Vera sensed that there was something dangerous under the nursing home. Following this clue, we found an entrance in the basement. "

Yi Qi continued, "We can already confirm that there is a huge building complex below the nursing home. Unfortunately, we were attacked just as we started to explore and thereafter escaped from the nursing home. "

Fang Heng asked, "Who attacked you? "

"I'm not sure. " Thinking back to the situation at that time, Vera still had no clue. "We can't figure out what attacked us. It moved so fast that we couldn't see it with our naked eyes. "

Zhong Lei frowned. "Was it a mutated zombie? "

"I'm not sure. " Vera shook her head.

"The probability is not high. " Yi Qi thought for a while and added, "I was attacked by it, but my infection index didn't rise. According to my judgment, it might not be a mutated zombie. "

"Was it very strong? "

"Yes! It was very strong. " Vera's expression was a little serious. "It's different from the mutated zombie we've encountered before. "

"Don't worry. " Yi Qi patted Vera's shoulder to comfort her, "Last time, it happened suddenly, and it was very dark in the underground passage, so we didn't see the enemy clearly. This time, we found a way to get two flashbangs. With sufficient preparation, we can at least figure out its true face. "

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.

It sounded a little troublesome.

Should he bring the fusion Tyrant forms over?

The damned place was too far. If he made the fusion Tyrant forms self-destruct, it would take more than six hours. Moreover, he would not be able to obtain a proliferator in a short period of time.

Based on the theoretical analysis and the unreliable information obtained from the player forums, the ceiling of Zombie Apocalypse's combat strength was a Tier 5 mutated zombie. Under the Blood Moon state, the strongest mutated zombie's combat strength was only comparable to a Tier 6 zombie.

Based on the capped combat strength, with his current ability, Fang Heng would most likely not be able to defeat a Tier 5 mutated zombie in a one-on-one fight.

However, it would not be a problem for him to save his life.

Even if he encountered an extreme situation at a small probability, District 8 still had a rebirth chamber that could be used.

Fang Heng believed that he could go inside and test the waters.

Vera continued, "Before we carry out this operation, I still need to confirm the target of the operation. Previously, when we were conducting a preliminary search of the secret area under the basement, we accidentally found a set of research materials related to the virus in a room. "

"Research materials? " Fang Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. "Do you still have them? "

"I gave the materials to a friend. He works for a big gaming company. According to him, the research materials are very useful. If we can find more relevant information from the basement, they are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. "

Fang Heng thought it was a pity. "Do you still remember the content of the materials? "

Vera responded, "I didn't really understand the contents. They should be related to a zombie virus experiment conducted by Meteorite Company. They contain all the experimental data. Players' shelters can use them to increase the research level and the attractiveness of the shelter. "

"Okay... " Fang Heng nodded, feeling suspicious.

So Plan Scorpio was also a zombie virus project?

Vera uttered, "My friend promised me to buy all the information at a higher price than the market price. After we find a way to get the information, all the rewards gained from selling it will be shared equally among us. Do you have any objection to that? "

Fang Heng immediately said, "The information is useful to me. I'm willing to buy it at double the price he promised you. "

Hearing that, Vera and the other two were stunned. "Did we meet a rich man? "

Vera confirmed with Fang Heng, "Double? Are you sure? One set of information will cost 3,000 survival points. "

"3,000, deal, " Fang Heng answered straightforwardly.

Previously, he had made a large sum of survival points by spreading the vaccine antibodies to create the zombie wave. Currently, he was extremely rich.

"Okay! " Yi Qi immediately agreed. "Then, for the sake of better cooperation, why don't we introduce our abilities to each other? "

He looked at everyone, starting, "Let's start with me. My special ability is piloting. I'm good at mechanical maintenance and armed combat. Vera has a special perception ability. Her perception attribute and will attribute have both broken through 10. She can sense the approach of some high-level life forms and give a warning in advance. Yuan Bin is good at close combat and long-range damage, and he has high-level weapon mastery. "

When it was Zhong Lei's turn, he said, "I'm also a damage-oriented person, and I'm good at using medium and heavy weapons. "

Everyone shifted their gazes to Fang Heng.

"As for me... " Fang Heng thought for a moment and said, "My abilities are quite complex, and I dabble a lot. I know a little of everything. "

The few of them were stunned when they heard that.

Yuan Bin slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, brother, don't tell me you're an all-rounded player? "

"That's right. That's what everyone calls me. All-rounded support. "

Everyone looked at each other and understood.

So he was a rich support.

Ahem.

"All right. Do you have any materials that you need to replenish? If there's no problem, we'll start immediately. How about it? "

"No problem. "

...

After packing their luggage, the group started heading toward the nursing home on the hillside.

Fang Heng also realized that few people were on the mountain path leading to the nursing home.

Not even zombies could be seen, let alone animals.

Soon, along the path, an old building appeared in front of them.

"We're here at Far Mountain Nursing Home. "

Outside the nursing home, the main door was closed.

Fang Heng had just taken a few steps forward when he was stopped by Yi Qi who was behind him. "Don't go through the main door. "

Yi Qi explained, "There's something inside. If we enter through the main door, we might disturb it. "

Fang Heng frowned. "Then what should we do? "

"Go through the back door. Follow me. " Yuan Bin walked to the front of the group. He led the group around the nursing home and entered through the broken fence in the back garden.

"It's best not to make any noise from here on. Try to speak as softly as possible. They might follow our voices and track us here, " Yuan Bin explained in a low voice. "This place has very evil energy. "

Using voice to track the enemy's location?

It was a bit like a Licker.

As Fang Heng thought to himself, he followed Yuan Bin into the back garden of the nursing home.

The garden had not been cleaned for a long time, and it looked unmaintained.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 470: Exploration Mission

Yuan Bin and the others had already entered the nursing home and explored it three times. They were familiar with the route and quickly led Fang Heng and the others around the back garden. They entered the interior of the building through a small door on the side of the back garden.

Click...

Yuan Bin carefully closed the wooden door.

He pointed forward, and the group continued forward along the pathway.

The gloomy weather in the north affected their vision.

Even in broad daylight, the interior of the room was still abnormally dark.

Fang Heng used the night vision ability of the Vampire Bloodline to survey the surrounding environment.

It was very chaotic.

On the wall, he could see dried and dark blood stains.

He could not be sure whether those blood stains were produced after the outbreak of the zombie crisis.

Following Yuan Bin, the group tiptoed and made several turns to arrive at the iron door at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the basement.

Yuan Bin tried to push the door open, frowning.

"What's wrong? "

Yuan Bin whispered, "It's strange. The door's locked. It wasn't locked the last time we came. "

Vera turned to look at Fang Heng. "Can the keys given to us by the camp's merchant open the door? "

"Let me try. " Fang Heng took out a bunch of keys from his backpack. Comparing the key shapes, he chose one of the keys and stuffed it into the keyhole.

Click...

The iron door opened.

Behind the door was a storage room.

The room was abnormally messy. Wooden boxes of all sizes were randomly stacked on the floor.

"Someone must have been here. The last time we left, we didn't even have time to close the passage. " As Yuan Bin spoke, he walked forward and set aside the boxes stacked together on the floor, then lifted the carpet underneath.

There was an iron ring on the floor below the carpet that could be pulled up.

Yuan Bin walked to the edge of the iron ring and pulled up the attached iron chain with great effort.

Ka... Da, da, da...

The iron chain was pulled up slowly.

A passage leading underground was revealed.

Yuan Bin and the others took out flashlights from their backpacks.

Yi Qi walked to the front of the group and said, "I'll lead the way. Everyone, be careful. Our goal this time is to search for information and try to avoid unnecessary battles. If we encounter any danger that we can't resist, we'll just run away. "

Everyone nodded in unison.

Fang Heng looked around along the way.

He felt that Yi Qi's group's description of the monster was not very accurate.

The other party must be a creature that had the ability to think.

It was very likely to be a person.

They walked down the stairs and went through a passage, and a fork leading to three different paths appeared in front of them.

Vera stood at the intersection and closed her eyes to sense for a moment.

"I don't sense any powerful enemies nearby, " she said in a low voice. "On the path we previously took the road, we encountered danger halfway. This time, let's try that path. "

"Okay, let's go. " The group continued to explore the left passage.

Soon, Fang Heng found the door to a room at the side of the pathway.

Yuan Bin pushed the door first.

Thud...

The door was locked.

"It was the same when we came here before. Most of the doors here are locked. Don't force the door open. The sound will attract the monsters. "

Fang Heng tried to take out the keys given by the apocalypse merchant and compared their shapes again. However, the shapes were a total mismatch for the keyhole.

"The basement is Meteorite Company's secret research room. Your keys most likely won't work. Don't waste time. "

"Don't worry. I still have a way, " Fang Heng said as he took out a piece of iron wire from his backpack.

Yi Qi and the others stopped and looked at Fang Heng curiously.

Fang Heng twisted the wire into a special ring, stuffed the wire into the door, and fiddled with it a few times.

Ka...

With a soft sound, Fang Heng gently twisted the door handle.

The iron door opened.

"Hint: authentication successful. You have unlocked the door through your skill Lock Disablement. Your Lock Disablement skill's experience points have reached the maximum. "

"Amazing! That skill of yours is amazing! " Yuan Bin was pleasantly surprised when he saw Fang Heng easily open the door. He lowered his voice and praised Fang Heng, giving him a thumbs up.

"It's just so-so. Basic operation. " As Fang Heng spoke, he poked his head into the room to take a look.

Behind the iron door was a relatively large dormitory room.

The dormitory was very large. With a cursory glance, he could see six beds and a separate bathroom.

It seemed that no one had been there for a long time, as the room was covered in a thick layer of dust.

The few of them followed Fang Heng into the room. They closed the iron door and searched the room separately.

"I found something. Come and take a look. " Vera had found a diary under a shabby bed.

Fang Heng followed and went over to take a look.

The handwriting on the diary was crooked, like the handwriting of a primary school student.

"Hint: you have obtained Frege's diary (incomplete) . "

Entry 2.1 read: "I don't like to write diary entries, but my mother forced me to write. So annoying. "

Entry 2.4 read: "I hate him very much, but my mother always forces me to call him dad. "

Entry 2.9 read: "Very good. He will never come back to bother me again. "

Entry 3.4 read: "Daddy came back. He seems to have changed his bad habit. He no longer scolds me. But I still have to keep a diary, so annoying. "

Entry 3.8 read: "The mister who sent me told me not to be sad. He told me that there are many children like me here and that I will soon find new friends. But I do not feel happy. I hate the way that mister looks at me. Mommy hates him too. Daddy hates him too. It was because of him that we had to move out of the house. "

Entry 5.2 read: "I met a lot of new friends. It's just that I have to face needles every day. I hate needles. Mommy told me that I should cooperate with the mister's treatment. "

Entry 5.6 read: "Rui Qi was so amazing. She knows many amazing magic tricks. So interesting! "

"Hint: player team has triggered the special ring mission 'Mysterious Nursing Home. ' "

Mission name: Mysterious Nursing Home.

Mission difficulty: A.

Mission description: you have discovered a secret area below the nursing home. During the search, you found a strange diary. You are aware that there may be some secrets in this nursing home. Please try to find more clues.

Mission description: leave the nursing home and the current mission ring mission will default to failure. Final reward calculation will commence thereafter.

Mission reward: survival points.

Unfortunately, it was not a main storyline.

Fang Heng was a little disappointed.

After reading the diary and combining it with the game mission hint, Yi Qi and the others were even more confused.

The diary gave them a very strange feeling.

"Didn't the boss of the apocalypse camp mention before that this place used to be an orphanage... " Zhong Lei guessed, "The diary mentioned needles. Could it be that Meteorite Company is relying on orphans to carry out research on viruses? "

"An orphanage... " Fang Heng touched his chin and pondered.

"Don't bother about it. If I have to say, this mission is a trap. " Yuan Bin pursed his lips. "Don't forget that we're here to get money... "

"Shh! " Vera's expression changed slightly.

She seemed to have sensed something and stopped Yuan Bin from continuing. "Enemies are approaching. "

Chapter 471: Monster

Everyone immediately shut their mouths when they heard Vera.

Just then, they all heard the sound of footsteps approaching from the distance.

Yuan Bin was shocked and immediately adjusted his flashlight to the dimmest.

With the help of the weak light, everyone adjusted their formation and stood in position. Holding their breaths, they aimed their muzzles at the door of the room.

Soon, Fang Heng heard the sound of footsteps walking past the door.

It was getting further and further away.

Fang Heng carefully stepped forward and held the door handle.

His actions shocked Yuan Bin, who reached out and pressed his hand on Fang Heng's shoulder. He mouthed, "Are you crazy? "

Fang Heng glanced at him. "It's fine. The situation's very stable. "

Stable my foot!

Yuan Bin quickly let go of Fang Heng and held the gun in his hands tightly, getting ready for battle.

Fang Heng gently twisted the door handle.

Da, da, da...

The old iron door made a faint sound.

Fang Heng opened a gap in the door and looked outside through it.

A faint light came from the right side of the pathway.

A figure had its back to them.

It bent its body and slowly moved forward along the corridor.

The entire basement was dark, and the figure had a flashlight in its hand to provide light.

He knew how to use a flashlight? Was it a human?

"Could he be the owner of the diary? " Fang Heng turned to look at Vera and the others and suggested, "Why don't we talk to him? Maybe we can trigger the follow-up mission? "

"Don't! " Yuan Bin quickly stopped Fang Heng's impulsive behavior. "What do you expect a monster to talk to you about? We almost died at his hands last time. "

Yuan Bin thought to himself, "This teammate is really stupid and bold! I don't know how he survived in the game for so long! Isn't it better to just safely search for research materials and sell them for money? Wait... "

Thinking that the generous buyer who would later buy the research materials was so stupid and bold, Yuan Bin had another epiphany. "Maybe that's why he has the ability to make so much money. "

"Found the map. " Yi Qi found a map in the corner of the room and called everyone over to take a look. "Come and take a look. "

"Hint: your team has obtained the blueprint of Plan Scorpio Research Institute (part) . "

"Plan Scorpio! That's right! " Fang Heng mused as he went forward and looked at the map with everyone.

The first thing he saw was the symbol of Meteorite Company in the corner of the map.

The map showed that the entire underground area was very large.

To the west of the second basement was the dormitory room where the members of Plan Scorpio lived.

The large-sized central research room was in the fourth basement.

"Found it! It's in the fourth basement! " Yuan Bin exclaimed in a low voice.

"Yes, the information should be in the central research room in the fourth basement. "

"We need to think of a way to go to the fourth basement. It seems that there's no electricity supply in this place, so the elevator is probably not in operation. " Yi Qi suggested while examining the map, "Why don't we go straight down the stairs? What do you think? "

"Yeah, I think it'll work. "

The five of them quickly came up with a plan.

After confirming that the monster in the pathway had gone far away, they quietly left the room.

It was much easier with the blueprint.

The group was very careful along the way, and they managed to find the stairs leading down without facing any danger.

They had just reached the third basement when their hearts skipped a beat.

There was light in the third basement!

There were still people living there? !

The light came from the large glass window of a room on the other side of the pathway.

Zhong Lei analyzed the blueprint in his hand and said in a low voice, "There is a description on the blueprint. The light is coming from the lounge of the research and development department. "

"I can feel something inside. " Vera shrank her neck. The sense of danger coming from the lounge made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Don't alert the monsters. Let's walk over carefully. " Yi Qi turned off the flashlight in his hand and gestured at the group.

He pointed at the end of the passage and signaled for the group to bend over carefully.

It was a distance of five to six meters. As long as they could get past the window carefully without being discovered, it would be fine.

"I'll go first. You guys follow after. " Yi Qi took a deep breath and walked as lightly as possible. He bent over and carefully moved past the window.

He waved at the people behind him, indicating that everything was safe.

Vera and Yuan Bin were next.

The two of them also passed through the pathway without any danger.

Zhong Lei was the fourth.

He exchanged looks with Fang Heng, feeling that the trio was being overly cautious.

Zhong Lei walked forward, lowered his body like the others, and slowly moved past the window.

Halfway through, he suddenly noticed that Yi Qi and the others at the front of the pathway were frantically waving at him, seemingly drawing his attention upward.

The top?

Zhong Lei habitually raised his head.

Then, he saw a terrifying face.

That face was tightly pressed against the window. Its face was extremely distorted, and its facial features seemed to have been messed up.

The face that was pressed against the window was staring straight at Zhong Lei.

The moment he saw the face, Zhong Lei felt as if his body had been struck by lightning. He could not help but lean back, and a game hint appeared in his vision.

"Hint: you have been affected by the fear effect. "

"Hint: you have entered a paralyzed state. "

"Sh*t! Zhong Lei! Run! ! " Yuan Bin shouted and took out an automatic rifle.

Bang! Bang, bang! !

The next moment, the window shattered.

A short figure jumped out of the window.

Fang Heng's pupils constricted as he stared at the monster that jumped out of the window.

A zombie?

It didn't look like one!

It wasn't short, but it had a hunched body. Its hair was disheveled, and it was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Do it! ! ! " Yi Qi shouted.

Bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! !

The sound of gunshots echoed throughout the passage.

The monster's dodging ability was beyond everyone's expectations. It moved quickly in the empty pathway and once again jumped into the lounge to hide.

Bang! !

In a paralyzed state, Zhong Lei felt something kick his abdomen!

His body flew up more than half a meter and crashed heavily into the wall behind him.

It felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

Before he could speak, Zhong Lei felt his body being tightly held by something, and his entire body was lifted into the air.

Fang Heng stared in Zhong Lei's direction and could not help but narrow his eyes, wanting to see more clearly.

"Hint: your perception and will attribute both exceed 15. You have noticed some details. "

Fang Heng saw three shadows in the air.

The shadows were extremely thin. Only when they attacked Zhong Lei did they reveal a rough outline. One of the shadows was tall and lifting Zhong Lei in the air.

What the hell!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He immediately raised his pistol and aimed at the shadows, pulling the trigger continuously.

Bang, bang! !

The bullets directly passed through the shadows.

It was useless?

The gunshots paused. While everyone was reloading their ammunition, the short monster once again leaped out of the lounge.

Its figure turned into a black shadow and flew toward Fang Heng at an extremely fast speed.

Vera shouted a warning, "Fang Shuo! Be careful! "

Fang Heng frowned, his gaze focused on the monster that was rapidly approaching him.

Chapter 472: Fantasy Materialization

It seemed that only that monster was a physical entity.

Fang Heng stood still and immediately switched to the sniper rifle.

Item: Scavenger Type 4 sniper rifle (Ding Min's customized version)

Description: the Sniper Rifle developed by Dr. Ding Min for the high-tier members of the Scavenger Army. It is coupled with the use of specially made gunpowder bullets, enhancing the penetrative power of the bullets at the expense of some accuracy. Requires an additional 20 points of strength to use. Extra loading time and aiming time are also required.

Description: it is said that no one in the Scavenger Army can truly control the rifle.

Tactical shooting; aim, focus!

Fang Heng's pupils reflected the figure of the monster, and he steadily pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot sounded.

Almost simultaneously, the monster took action to dodge.

However, it was a little too slow!

Along with Fang Heng's high strength attribute and level 18 gun mastery, the bullet from the sniper rifle grazed the monster's shoulder.

Boom! !

The high firepower of the bullet shattered the monster's entire arm!

The spot where the right shoulder was connected to the body was a bloody mess!

The impact also sent the monster flying backward.

Zhong Lei finally came back to his senses and was rid of his fear. He felt his body relax. Just as he landed, he saw the short monster flying toward him.

"Damn it! Die! " Zhong Lei pounced toward the monster in the air and knocked it against a wall.

He whipped out a grenade and stuffed it into the monster's mouth.

Boom! ! !

The next second, there was a loud sound.

The grenade exploded!

The monster's head and Zhong Lei's entire right arm were blown into a pile of flesh and blood.

"Hint: your team has killed Frege. Totaling battle contribution: you have obtained 332 survival points. "

Phew...

It was over.

In just a short one-minute battle, everyone felt as if they had experienced a great battle.

Yi Qi and the other two felt as if they had barely escaped from death. At the same time, they carefully sized up Zhong Lei and Fang Heng.

They had never thought that both of them would actually be so dope.

Moreover, they were both ruthless.

Zhong Lei covered his shattered shoulder and endured the pain as he very skillfully took out a bottle of healing spray from his backpack.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, a layer of white light enveloped Zhong Lei's right arm, which had been destroyed by the explosion, and it rapidly began to recover.

In just a few seconds, Zhong Lei's right arm was as good as new.

Seeing everyone's confused gazes, Zhong Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "It's an A-level talent skill called Limb Regeneration. It just looks overpowered on the surface. After using it, for a long period of time, my HP upper limit will be reduced. "

In the past, Zhong Lei had truly felt that that skill of his was very impressive.

This grenade move he did earlier was also a battle tactic that he had developed.

But after meeting Fang Heng, Zhong Lei felt that the skill was useless apart from showing off in front of the rookies.

After all, it probably would not be effective on fusion Tyrants.

"What the hell is that thing? " Yuan Bin held back his disgust and walked forward to check the pieces of the corpse that had been blasted apart by the grenade. "Is he really human? "

Vera flipped through the game log and asked, "Did you guys see the hint? Frege. Was he the one that left the diary we found earlier? "

"Mhm, it's very strange. " Fang Heng lowered his head and began to ponder.

Frege had a superpower-type talent skill.

In the King of Gods' game, players would randomly receive a talent skill when they first entered the game.

According to Fang Heng's understanding, a very small number of players awakened a superpower-type talent skill.

That type of skill was generally rated at level-A and above.

Players aside, a few days ago, when he had just taken over the Scavenger Army, the mutant worm body in the box left by the former commander, Cook Barn, also had some superpower-type talent skill.

If not for the silence skill of the Vampiric Spirit Cane, he would have died there.

"I can't find any clues on the corpse. " Fang Heng walked to the broken window and looked at the interior of the research and development department lounge through the window.

The entire room was very clean, and there was a passage inside that seemingly led to a separate small room.

There should be more than one person living inside.

The situation was not good, and the danger was far from over.

Monsters like Frege had a rather unique way of attacking. If there were too many of them, he would not be able to handle it.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "He is not the monster we saw in the basement earlier. There should be other monsters in the nursing home. They might come back to investigate after hearing the commotion. "

"Let's speed up and find the research materials first, then we'll leave immediately, " said Yi Qi

"Okay! "

Everyone immediately reached a consensus and continued to move toward the fourth basement.

As they arrived at the fourth basement, the passage in front of them dimmed again.

The power supply of the entire fourth basement had failed.

Yuan Bin took out a flashlight and tried to light up the front.

With the light from the flashlight and help with directions from the blueprint, they quickly found the central research room along the right side of the hall in the fourth basement.

"Found it. The central research room. "

The alloy metal door was locked tightly, and there was a heavy iron chain wrapped around it.

A thick layer of dust was visible on the iron chain, suggesting that no one had been there for a long time.

Everyone made way for Fang Heng and turned back to look at him.

Fang Heng walked to the door, lowering his head to check.

The metal door should have been broken through by force a long time ago, then resecured with an iron chain.

Fang Heng took out a shotgun.

Item: Scavenger Type 4 shotgun (Ding Min's customized version) . "

Boom! !

With a loud sound, the chain was broken.

Fang Heng pushed the door to the research room open.

It was abnormally messy inside.

"Let's start. Gather information. The faster, the better. "

The team of five immediately began to search the room.

Fang Heng walked to a corner of the room and looked around for useful research materials.

"Hint: you have found research materials of Plan Scorpio. "

"Hint: this item has a high research value. You can submit this information to any survival camp in exchange for a reward. You can also trade it with other players. "

"It's here! Found it! " Fang Heng mused internally. His heart skipped a beat as he read through the research materials.

One section read: "Plan Scorpio: Frege. A child diagnosed with schizophrenia. After testing, we believe that he has the special ability of Fantasy Materialization. Ability name: Fantasy Materialization. Ability evaluation: S-. "

"Plan Scorpio... Frege... " Fang Heng muttered to himself after roughly scanning through the personal information section of Plan Scorpio, once again falling into deep thought.

He finally understood.

Mysterious abilities also existed in the Zombie Apocalypse world.

However, the occurrence of such mysterious abilities was extremely rare. There were only a few thousand cases in the entire world, and the average strength was not strong.

An ability like Frege's that had extremely high destructive power was even rarer.

Meteorite Company's Plan Scorpio was a research project based on such special abilities.

"But what does it have to do with the main storyline? Was I fooled by Black Castle? " Fang Heng was puzzled.

Chapter 473: Ignores Defense

Bang!

A heavy knock sounded.

The people who were searching for information were stunned. They stopped their work at the same time and aimed their weapons at the door of the research room.

Boom! ! !

With a loud sound, the door to the research laboratory was broken open with a bang.

A young man with long black hair walked in from outside.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Without waiting for the other party to make a move, Yi Qi and the others pulled the trigger first and aimed at the door.

The young man stood still.

The two broken alloy doors, controlled by a special strength, floated in the air and shielded Wallace from the incoming bullets.

"Frege! You killed Frege! ! "

Behind the doors, Wallace gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

The long hair that hung down almost covered his entire face.

Fang Heng could not see his face clearly, but from his voice, he could tell that he was very young.

"Why! ! ! Why did you do it! ? " Wallace roared.

The wooden tables and chairs in the entire room floated uncontrollably in the air, crashing toward the people who had fired the shots.

Yi Qi and the others had never seen such a scene before! Seeing that the guns were ineffective, they all gave up their attacks and dodged to the back to find cover again.

Fang Heng frowned.

Under such circumstances, it was most likely impossible to communicate with the other party.

They had to think of a way to get rid of him!

Fang Heng no longer hesitated. He took out his sniper rifle and aimed it at Wallace.

Wallace sensed the danger and quickly turned around, staring at Fang Heng.

With a raise of his hand toward Fang Heng, the surrounding wooden chairs attacked Fang Heng.

The latter stayed still, aiming the sniper rifle.

Bang! !

A gunshot sound rang out.

The wooden chairs that stood in the line of fire were blasted to smithereens!

Wallace instantly felt a strong sense of danger, and the two alloy metal doors in front of him flew forward to block the trajectory of the sniper bullet!

Boom! !

After being hit by the bullet from Ding Min's specially made sniper rifle, the two alloy metal doors blocking Wallace exploded.

The doors had absorbed most of the explosion damage, but Wallace was still hit by the huge impact. He was sent flying for a distance before falling heavily to the ground, his body covered by the debris from the exploded metal doors.

Was he dead?

The trio was shocked by the power of Fang Heng's sniper rifle, but they hurriedly recovered their senses to assist Fang Heng.

When the three of them realized that Wallace's attack had stopped, they immediately raised their guns and fired wildly at the spot where he had fallen.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

After firing a series of bullets, they exchanged glances with each other while reloading their magazines.

"Is he dead? "

"I didn't receive the game hint. I'm not sure... "

Just as Vera finished speaking, she was startled.

Roar! ! !

The fragments of the alloy gate that had pressed down on Wallace's body were instantly repelled.

"F*ck! " Yuan Bin cursed loudly and immediately lowered his head to seek cover from the stray door fragments flung in all directions.

He was actually not dead yet?

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched as he continued to load the sniper rifle bullets.

"Why... " Wallace slowly stood up with one hand on the wall, muttering with hot blood flowing down his face. "You degenerates! Why are you disturbing our peace! Roar! ! ! "

Fang Heng, who was reloading sniper rifle bullets, narrowed his eyes.

Right after he saw visible sound waves spreading out in all directions, Fang Heng heard a roar in his ears.

"Hint: you have been affected by a special energy. You have received 300 damage (physical defense ignored) . "

"Hint (this hint is triggered by basic occult) : you have received an elementary spiritual attack. You have entered a state of dizziness. Basic occult has reduced the duration of this repelling, dizziness, confusion, paralysis, and other statuses by 50% . Your will attribute is higher than 20 points. The duration of all negative effects sustained by this attack has been reduced by 60% . Your vitality is higher than 30 points. The duration of paralysis has been reduced by 70% . "

The intense ringing in his ears seemed to be ringing in his brain.

Fang Heng saw lines of small words appearing rapidly in the lower right corner of his retina, and the scene in front of him also retreated rapidly.

Bang! !

His back slammed into the wall, and blood oozed out from his ears.

Fang Heng looked ahead to see Wallace staggering forward step by step.

Under his long hair was a pair of red pupils.

At that moment, Fang Heng was a little dazed. He felt like he had seen those pair of eyes before.

"Hint: you have recovered from paralysis. "

When the stun time was up, Fang Heng regained his mobility and immediately switched to a shotgun with his right hand.

"Item: Scavenger Type 4 shotgun (Ding Min's customized version) . "

Description: a shotgun developed by Dr. Ding Min. It is equipped with a special enhanced gunpowder. The recoil force is extremely strong. It can only be used when the user's strength is above 30. It can effectively deal with a heavily mutated zombie and a heavy tank with a single reload.

Description: it must be used with highly concentrated gunpowder bullets. Extremely destructive.

"Go to hell. " Fang Heng pulled the trigger with one hand.

Boom! ! !

A loud explosion sounded.

Fang Heng's body was knocked back against the wall due to the powerful recoil force.

Meanwhile, Wallace was sent flying, and he could no longer get up.

"Hint: your team has killed Wallace. Special item dropped: the key to the third basement's secret research room. "

Fang Heng shook his slightly injured arm, put away his shotgun, and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

"Are you all okay? " Amidst the quietness, Fang Heng looked around.

"We're all okay. " After more than ten seconds, Vera was the first to recover from her paralyzed state. She panted heavily, took out a bottle of healing spray, and sprayed it into her mouth.

"The attack's negative effects are too great... " Vera looked at her remaining HP and exclaimed in her heart that she was lucky.

The other players also gradually recovered.

Wallace's shockwave attack was too terrifying — large-scale damage, sure-hit, and defense-ignoring!

Fortunately, the damage was still within what they could take, so they were not instantly killed.

However, the various negative effects were a little overpowered. The paralysis state lasted for more than a minute!

As her HP slowly recovered, Vera turned to look at Fang Heng. At that moment, she suddenly realized that Fang Heng was different from the others.

Even with 12 points of willpower, Vera was pretty affected by the various negative effects including stun and paralysis. She had laid on the ground for nearly a minute before she recovered. On the other hand, Fang Heng only needed a few seconds to recover.

"Damn it, the difficulty of this stupid game is definitely over the limit. " After recovering from the paralysis, Yuan Bin leaned against the wall and stood up while swearing, "I've hacked into an advanced game world's forum and read it. I guarantee that this kind of attack that ignores defense is definitely something that only exists in advanced game worlds! It shouldn't exist in Zombie Apocalypse! "

Chapter 474: Unexpected Reward

Ordinary players would basically be sending themselves to their deaths in the face of such a special attack.

Yuan Bin felt both fear and relief.

Fortunately, his monstrously strong teammate was reliable and killed the monster in one shot. Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

"Stop talking nonsense! " With Vera's help, Yi Qi stood up. "Let's quickly gather information. After we find the information, we'll immediately end the mission and retreat. We still don't know how many monsters are gathered here. "

Everyone nodded in unison.

No one wanted to stay in the damn place any longer. They quickly searched for research materials in the room.

"Damn it! This game is really bugged! "

Just as they started searching, Yuan Bin discovered that the research materials in the research room had been shredded into pieces of waste paper. He started cursing again. "F*ck, we can't even see it anymore! The data has been destroyed! "

Zhong Lei's brows were tightly knitted. He looked at Fang Heng, grabbed a handful of paper scraps on the ground, and gestured to him. "What I found is the same. It's already beyond repair. "

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He casually picked up a piece of information that had fallen into his hands.

Item: damaged research data

Description: a destroyed piece of information which contents can not be identified.

Wallace's special ability had caused a spiritual energy fluctuation which ruined most of the papers in the room.

Bang!

Yuan Bin kicked the wall at the side as if he was venting, leaving a shoe print.

"F*ck! We've worked so hard for nothing! "

No one paid attention to Yuan Bin, who was sulking. Everyone was silent, and the team's morale became unusually low.

"Don't worry. The destruction of the data might just be the game's settings. Perhaps, it's such that once we enter the research institute, we'll be attacked by Wallace, which will lead to the destruction of the data. " Fang Heng calmed everyone's emotions. He slowly walked forward and picked up a key that was left beside the long-haired youth. "After all, we still have clues. "

"Hint: you have obtained the key to the secret research room in the third basement. "

Item: the key to the secret research room in the third basement.

Description: the key that Wallace carries with him. Can open the door to the secret research room on the third floor.

"Hint: player has killed Wallace. Completed the first stage ring mission: Exploration. Completed the second, third, fourth, and fifth stage ring missions ahead of time. Triggered the final mission: Wallace's Secret. The reward will be calculated after all ring missions have been completed. "

Mission name: Wallace's Secret.

Mission difficulty: D.

Mission description: you have discovered Wallace, a young man with a special ability. He has a key on him. This key may lead you to the truth.

Mission requirements: try to restore the truth (leaving the nursing home area will default to mission failure, immediately entering the final rewards calculation) .

Mission reward: Survival points, special reward.

Fang Heng showed the key to everyone and said, "It seems that we have to go back to the third basement to check it out. "

The third basement?

Everyone looked at each other.

"We can't go back empty-handed. Since things have turned out this way, let's go and take a look! We can also complete the mission! "

"Yeah, you're right. " Vera also nodded. "I don't want to go back just like this. What about you, Yuan Bin? "

"Of course! " Yuan Bin raised his hand in agreement. "It's only D difficulty, so it shouldn't be too dangerous. "

Everyone roughly searched the central research room again. After confirming that they didn't miss anything, they left.

"Fang Heng, you stay at the back of the team this time. We'll cover for you. If you encounter any monsters again, think of a way to deal damage at the back. "

After two consecutive battles, Yi Qi had already confirmed Fang Heng's powerful combat strength. He immediately adjusted the formation to ensure that the team's combat strength was maximized.

"Okay. "

After switching the formation, the group returned to the third basement.

...

They returned to the pathway of the third basement.

The glass window shards were still on the ground, and a headless corpse lay on the ground.

Yi Qi led the way to the glass window and carefully peeked inside to take a look.

Then, he turned to look at Vera.

Vera shook her head. "I don't feel any powerful enemies nearby. "

Yi Qi made a safety sign to the people behind him, turned around, and entered the large lounge.

Fang Heng and the others followed after.

The hall was very large and clean. It seemed to be the residence of Wallace and the others.

They communicated with each other with their eyes and immediately began to explore the room.

Fang Heng walked to the side of the hall and noticed a group photo on the cabinet.

Upon picking up the photo to examine it, he noticed it showed children between three to ten years old. In total, there were more than 20 people in the photo.

Two of them were probably Wallace and Frege, whom he had killed previously.

Fang Heng's heart sank.

Could there be more than 20 monsters left in the nursing home?

"Everyone, be careful. Keep your guards up while searching. "

Everyone began to search the room.

Soon, Zhong Lei made a discovery. He pointed to a tightly shut metal emergency exit at the back of the pathway.

"Only this room uses an alloy door. It should be the secret research room. "

Fang Heng walked forward and took out the key.

The others immediately stood behind Fang Heng and raised their muzzles.

Click.

The emergency exit opened, and Fang Heng carefully pushed open the door.

Zhong Lei's index finger pressed on the automatic rifle. If there was any movement, he would immediately shoot.

However, the moment he saw the furnishings in the room clearly, Zhong Lei widened his eyes.

"This... " Immediately recognizing the few things in the middle of the room behind the door, he swiftly turned his head and looked at Fang Heng beside him.

Meanwhile, Fang Heng's face was also full of surprise.

Cultivation pod? ! What was such a thing doing there? ! There was actually three giant-sized cultivation pods placed side by side in the secret room. Two of the cultivation pod even had two pieces of flesh moving slightly within them! Could it be a Hila tissue sample? ! It was too similar! But how could it be stored in such a place? ! Could it be that Plan Scorpio was also related to the Hila experiment? ? But... Why wasn't the Hila tissue sample stored in the special box made by Meteorite Company?

Several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng's mind.

The other three were at a loss. They felt that the wriggling flesh in the cultivation pod was strange and instinctively didn't want to step into the room.

Fang Heng slowly walked into the room and looked around.

After confirming that there was no danger, Fang Heng slowly raised his hands and pressed them to the glass of the two cultivation pods that contained Hila tissue samples.

"Hint: you have found two Hila tissue samples. "

Confirming that they were indeed Hila tissue samples, Fang Heng was slightly excited.

"What a pleasant surprise! " he thought.

Before going to the nursing home, he had never thought that he would be able to find a Hila tissue sample there.

With the two Hila tissue samples, the Scavenger Army's production speed of divine potion and fusion Tyrant forms would double!

Fang Heng could not help but feel a little lucky. If he had not accidentally obtained information related to the Plan Scorpio from Black Castle, he might never have been able to find the last two Hila tissue samples himself.

However...

Chapter 475: Partial Restoration

After the initial excitement, Fang Heng fell into deep doubt again.

It was too illogical!

Why would a Hila tissue sample appear in such a place?

Fang Heng's brows were tightly knitted.

Suddenly, he saw a record book on the experiment table next to him.

Fang Heng walked forward and opened the book.

The book was blank, there was no record of anything.

A note slid down from the gap in the book and fell to the ground.

Fang Heng picked up the note, and when he saw the contents of the note clearly, his pupils dilated several times!

"I curse this land. The dead will no longer go to the land of rebirth. The wailing souls will continue to reincarnate into the world. Every time the crimson moon descends, the dead sinners will return from the depths of the earth. They will continue to suffer and reincarnate into death... "

Fang Heng's heart pounded furiously. His gaze gradually shifted downward until he saw the signature at the bottom: Hila Rui Qi.

What the hell!

In an instant, Fang Heng began to reorganize all the information he had so far.

He mused, "Returning from the depths of the earth, reincarnation, the crimson moon...Is Rui Qi the superpower previously mentioned in the diary? ! Is the Hila experiment referring to her? It all makes sense now. Hila, Plan Scorpio, Meteorite Company, first-generation virus, mutant worm bodies, and the Scavenger Army, they're all connected! "

Fang Heng frowned. He felt as if he had grasped the outline of the world, but there was still something missing. In any case, he felt that his view of the game world had been overturned.

All along, Fang Heng and 99.999% of the other players thought that the so-called Blood Moon was part of the game's settings.

But now, it seemed that the ultimate cause of the whole zombie apocalypse was actually the curse of a crimson moon.

Fang Heng was a little confused. He tried to clear his mind but still felt that something was missing.

"Fang Heng, what's wrong? "

Seeing that Fang Heng was standing there like he was possessed after reading the note, Zhong Lei walked over curiously and patted Fang Heng's shoulder.

"No, nothing. " Fang Heng came back to his senses and handed the information he had just received to Zhong Lei for everyone to take a look.

"This... " Everyone looked at each other after reading the contents of the note.

Was what was written on it real? A curse? Was it not just a joke?

With little information about the main storyline, the trio reacted differently from Fang Heng and thought it was a joke at first glance.

"I have a theory. " Fang Heng pursed his lips and roughly sorted out his thoughts, then said in a deep voice, "The Plan Scorpio experiment was a special experiment used to study children with superpowers in the early operations of Meteorite Company. From the diary we obtained previously, we know that Hila Rui Qi was a powerful spiritual energy user. After that, the Hila experiment of Meteorite Company was named after Hila. I think that the company did research on Hila. Although I have no concrete evidence, if I had to guess... "

As Fang Heng spoke, his eyes swept over everyone. "I think it's the first-generation virus. Judging from the mutant worm body that was extracted from the Hila tissue sample and the mutant worm body found in the first-generation meteorite... The combination of a human with spiritual energy and the first-generation virus extracted from the first-generation meteorite may have caused Hila to develop an even more powerful special ability, and then something else happened. Maybe it's related to the curse... "

If it really was a curse, perhaps Meteorite Company felt fear, so they took apart Hila's corpse and hid it in every corner of the world. That theory seemed to make sense.

His speculation ended there. As Fang Heng paused to think, he suddenly realized a very contradictory point.

From the timeline, the Hila experiment happened a few years before the zombie outbreak. Meteorite Company had already scattered Hila's corpse in every corner of the world.

Theoretically, if the curse existed, then the zombie outbreak should have happened a long time ago. Why did the Blood Moon and the apocalypse only happen a few years after Hila's death? Something was wrong!

While he was thinking, a hint flashed in front of Fang Heng's eyes.

"Hint: player Fang Heng has tried to partially restore the truth to the game's main storyline. Player team has completed the final stage ring mission: Wallace's Secret. "

"Hint: totaling contribution points. You have obtained 87,000 survival points. "

"Hint: player has partially uncovered the hidden ending. Additional 5,000 main storyline contribution points have been awarded. Please continue exploring. "

Vera and the others were stunned.

What the hell! Fang Heng was right?

Fang Heng's guess was partially acknowledged by the game. They had also received hints about having completed the ring mission and partially uncovering the hidden ending. Additionally, they received more than 2,000 survival points and 100 main storyline contribution points.

It was indeed surprising that they could actually trigger the hidden ending message.

But...

After being surprised, Yi Qi and the others felt their heads throb.

They had spent more than half a month and risked their lives to find research materials in the nursing home to exchange for game points, not to achieve a hidden ending and 100 main storyline contribution points.

"With these rewards, are we supposed to fight with the Federation for the ownership of the main storyline? And what's the use of these two disgusting pieces of flesh? " The more Yuan Bin thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.

Meanwhile, Zhong Lei's heart skipped a beat. He clearly noticed how Fang Heng had omitted to mention the 12 boxes hidden by Meteorite Company all over the world.

Zhong Lei quickly exchanged glances with Fang Heng before uttering, "Everyone, these three cultivation pods and the things inside are very important to us. I will spend my points to buy all of them. Please help me out and don't reveal what happened today. As for the points, I will give you a satisfactory number. Please pardon us for hiding this. Actually, we are from Leftway Gaming Guild. We came all the way here to pursue a mission. The cultivation pod is our final mission target. Thank you for your cooperation and help along the way. "

Eh? ! Was the cultivation pod important enough to warrant heavy spending?

Hearing Zhong Lei's words, Yuan Bin instantly felt as if he had returned to heaven from hell. Not only did he not work for nothing, but he could also earn a large sum of money.

"Really? You are willing to spend money to buy these lousy things? " he asked.

Vera secretly tugged at Yuan Bin and glared at him, thinking, "How can he say things unfiltered? ! "

"No, they aren't trash. " Zhong Lei shook his head. He knew some things about the Hila tissue. The terrifying fusion Tyrant form was created using it.

"We'll explain the relevant issues after we go out. The price will definitely satisfy you. It's still too dangerous to talk here. Let's go first. "

"Yes, yes, yes. It's dangerous here. Let's talk outside, " Yuan Bin immediately responded.

Everyone locked the door and made their way out of the nursing home. Along the way, the group did not encounter any danger.

However, Fang Heng's internal confusion was still not relieved.

One step at a time!

Fang Heng patted his cheek.

Next, he had to think of a way to transport the Hila tissues back to the Scavenger Army headquarter and thoroughly search the entire nursing home to see if there were any new clues.

Chapter 476: Continuation

Seven hours later.

Zhong Lei made a round trip to the main base and rushed over with Dr. Ding Min and two other NPC survivors.

Ding Min was wearing a white down jacket, and almost half of her face was wrapped in a thick scarf. Her cheeks were slightly red from the cold. "I remember someone said that I would have a holiday today. "

Fang Heng knew that he was in the wrong and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is a special situation. I'll make up for it tomorrow... Oh, no, the day after tomorrow. "

"Hmph. Men. " Ding Min snorted lightly, looked up at the shabby nursing home in front of her, and began to work.

"The Hila tissue sample was hidden in this place? "

"Yes, I'll take you there. "

During the seven hours, Fang Heng had patiently searched the nursing home again.

Other than Wallace and Frege, there were two other humans with special abilities in the nursing home.

However, their abilities were very average and much weaker than Frege's.

Fang Heng had tried to communicate with them but to no avail.

When the other party realized that they could not win, they directly self-destructed.

Other than that, Fang Heng did not find any other valuable clues.

Ding Min and the others followed Fang Heng back to the secret research room in the third basement.

"Eh? " Ding Min uttered. She walked forward and carefully observed the pieces of flesh floating in the cultivation pods.

"How is it? Is there a problem with it? "

"Yes, the live samples show traces of cultivation interference. The degree of activity is not as high as imagined. Optimistically, they can complete the transformation of two fusion Tyrant forms. "

Ding Min began to drain the liquid in the cultivation pods, trying to put the Hila tissue samples into the metal box made by Meteorite Company.

Fang Heng cheered on the inside, "The findings are still considered good. I obtained at least two fusion Tyrant forms, and the production speed of the mutated worm body liquid mixture will be even faster in the future. "

However, the mission line of Plan Scorpio seemed to have halted progress. It was a bit troublesome.

Thinking about it, Fang Heng raised his head and asked, "By the way, why do you think the Hila tissue sample is here? Could it be Meterorite Company's doing? "

Confusion briefly showed on Ding Min's face, and she continued her investigation. "I also think it's very strange. What I can confirm is that she was transplanted here a long time ago. As for whether it was done by Meteorite Company, I can't be sure. "

"Then, do you know of Meteorite Company's Plan Scorpio? "

"I've never heard of it. " Ding Min's expression was calm. "Meteorite Company is the largest scientific research company in the world. They have thousands of scientific research projects every year. Many of them have extremely high confidentiality, and even the Presidential Security Bureau doesn't know about them. "

Helpless, Fang Heng turned to look at Zhong Lei. "What intel do you have? "

"I used the names of Wallace and Frege to search for relevant information in District 7's paid database, and I got some information. Some newspapers reported that Wallace was detected to have superpowers and was involved in a superpowers training program of Meteorite Company. The specific name of the program is unknown. It's probably Meteorite Company's Plan Scorpio. "

Zhong Lei continued, "After that, due to some special reasons, the research room was closed, and they were transferred to another research institute of Meteorite Company. I suspect that it's related to the development of the first-generation virus. "

Fang Heng scratched his head. The information provided by Zhong Lei was almost useless.

"If only we had been more careful and not have gotten entangled with the monsters on the fourth basement... " Zhong Lei sighed, feeling a little guilty. It was not easy to find a big clue, but he had accidentally messed it up.

He felt that the game's main storyline was once again at a dead end.

All the relevant personnel had died, and the relevant information had been destroyed.

What other leads did they have to work on?

"Fang Heng, what should we do? Can we no longer progress on the mission line of Plan Scorpio? "

"No, not all hope is lost. " Fang Heng felt that no one could give a definite answer to the question. Taking a deep breath and self-raising his morale high, he stated, "There's still a way. "

"Oh? There's a way? " Zhong Lei instantly became spirited and asked, "What's the way? "

In a short moment, Fang Heng thought of a plan. He calmly said, "Simple. Go to District 8. "

Fang Heng mused, "That's right! Let's start again! If the storyline in District 7's busted, we can go to District 8 to make progress! In theory, District 8 should have a similar building built by Meteorite Company for the purpose of researching Plan Scorpio. With our previous experience, we now know to be more careful when entering the nursing home in District 8. For safety reasons and to protect the research materials, we should lure out those research subjects that use spiritual energy before killing them. "

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and thought about his next plan of action.

"T-That works? " Zhong Lei moved his lips and did not speak for a long time after.

"Is that a game bug? "

...

"Sir, this is a reply letter we received from our superiors. "

"Give it to me! " Kou Huai opened the reply letter and quickly read it.

Thud!

After reading the contents of the file, Kou Huai raised his fist and hammered the table hard.

His application to his superiors for Fang Heng to be listed as a Tier 1 wanted person and part of the anti-federation forces was once again rejected!

The reason was that there was not enough evidence. He needed more concrete evidence, preferably video evidence.

"What more evidence do they need? ! Everyone knows that Fang Heng is leader of the Scavenger Army in District 7 and part of the anti-federation forces! He's obviously the mastermind behind it all! I even died at the hands of the fusion Tyrant form. Things are as plain as day, but they're turning a blind eye to it? " Kou Huai thought.

He knew that North River Heavy Industry had a hand in his application having been rejected time and time again.

"Substantial evidence... " Kou Huai gritted his teeth.

After the failure of the attack on the Scavenger Army, the entire District 7's federal forces were greatly weakened.

What should they do? Anger was useless.

Kou Huai quickly adjusted his emotional state and suppressed the anger in his heart. He began to think about how to deal with the crisis in front of him.

Presently, District 7 was unable to deal with the crazed zombie team.

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he could not think of a solution.

He could only choose to delay any countermeasures.

But if it continued dragging on...

Amid his distress, Kou Huai suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and looked at the Signal Corps soldier in front of him. "Who are you? "

In front of him, the soldier's face gradually distorted into a round face.

"Hi, Kou Huai. It's been a while. It seems that you are enjoying yourself. "

"Ji Qiubei! " Kou Huai stared at him.

The real leader of the Night Owl organization rarely showed his face. In the real world, Ji Qiubei, with his special talent, had largely become the representative of the leader of the Night Owl organization.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to talk to you. That's all. "

"Okay, let's talk. " Kou Huai's hand was already on the alarm under the desk.

Chapter 477: Investigation

"I can tell from your expression. The situation in District 7 doesn't seem too good, right? "

"What do you want to say? "

"Of course, to offer cooperation. "

Ji Qiubei's round face didn't seem aggressive at all, "To put it simply, we will help you get rid of Fang Heng. Of course, in order to help you, we need to set up a space stabilizing device in District 7. This is to help you and not for self-interest. You understand, right? "

Kou Huai frowned. "This doesn't conform to the rules. "

Pfft.

Ji Qiubei covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud. "You look so funny when you are talking in shock. Who are we? Is there a need to be so pretentious? "

Kou Huai stared at Ji Qiubei without saying a word.

"That's enough. I don't know about others, but you have sacrificed so much for the Federation. In the end? Just for this rigid rule, are you willing to watch District 7 fall into Fang Heng's hands? " Ji Qiubei moved closer and stared at Kou Huai. "Fang Heng doesn't want District 7 at all. He only wants to destroy District 7, and you don't care about the Federation. You only want District 7, right? "

Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly.

"Don't worry. After you've obtained the world, you'll have the power in your hands. Based on the current advanced world game situation, the Federation won't blame you for these things. They'll only try their best to rope you in. Yes, just like Fang Heng. Let alone killing you once, even if he wiped out the entire District 7, there will still be a large number of idiots in the Federation who are afraid of death and will seek peace with Fang Heng. "

As he spoke of the Federation, Ji Qiubei's face was filled with disdain.

"The winner takes all. This has always been the case since ancient times. If you think about it carefully, you should know better than me. "

Kou Huai took a deep breath.

"Don't think about it. You already had a premonition, right? You will fail. You will be completely defeated by Fang Heng. After you fail, you will be abandoned by the Federation like a dog. You will have nothing all the same. My suggestion is very good. Why don't you consider it? "

Kou Huai raised his head. "No, I refuse. "

"Hahahaha! Kou Huai! "Ji Qiubei laughed loudly. "I really didn't expect that you would actually be so loyal to the Federation. However, I am willing to wait. "

"There is no need to wait. I will not cooperate with Night Owl. "

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't lie to yourself. Why haven't you pressed the alarm yet? "

In the blink of an eye, Ji Qiubei's face returned to that of a Signal Corps soldier.

"I get it. You think you haven't reached a dead end yet, right? It doesn't matter. I can give you time. You can see yourself as a smart person for now, but you will eventually understand. "

Kou Huai watched Ji Qiubei leave and leaned back in his chair.

His back was already soaked in sweat.

...

Late at night, in District 8.

Fang Heng returned to the prison headquarters through the large-scale space tearing device.

"Hint: you have returned to District 8. "

"Hint: you have triggered the ending of District 8's main storyline, Beautiful New World (click here to see the details) . "

"Hint: there are eight hours left. The ranking of the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings in District 8 will be announced to the public soon. You can choose to spend an additional 100 main storyline contribution points to extend the announcement time by 24 hours. "

"Hint: each time the announcement time is extended by 24 hours, the main storyline contribution points consumed will be double that of the previous announcement time. "

"So this is the beginning of the debt collection... "

Fang Heng took a deep breath in a low voice. He endured the pain and spent 300 main storyline contribution points extending the period for two days.

"Fang Heng, how do you feel? "

Victor had brought some men to guard the teleportation passage in advance, preparing to repair the space tearing device. He noticed that Fang Heng's expression was not too good.

"It's not a big problem. It's just a little heartache. "

"Huh? " Victor had a puzzled look on his face.

"Fang Heng, where's the research materials? " Qiu Yaokang came up with two researchers and interrupted their conversation. He stared at Fang Heng with a burning gaze. "I heard that the research in the parallel world was a great success. What's the specific situation? What about the relevant research materials? Did you bring them back? "

"Yes, the anti-virus vaccine produced a violent mutation after it was released. This is the live sample I brought back. "

Fang Heng gave a rough explanation. He took out from his backpack the large metal box containing the live samples and handed them to Qiu Yaokang.

"Okay... " Qiu Yaokang opened the box.

He saw rows of carefully labeled live sample collectors inside and nodded indiscernibly. "Well done. "

"I'll give you the research report in two hours, " said Fang Heng. He had brought Ding Min's report back to the real world in advance. He planned to use the warp backpack slot to transport materials back and forth.

After all, it was too troublesome to set up inter-server teleportation.

Fang Heng previously did not dare to bring the sample back to the real world, fearing he would accidentally spread the zombie virus in the real world.

When that time came, the Federation might really come after him.

"Hint: player has submitted 134 live samples to the shelter, triggering the new research project: Upgraded Anti-Virus Vaccine. Current project level: level 1. Current project progress: 0%. "

"Okay, I'll start developing the vaccine first. " Qiu Yaokang nodded at Fang Heng, closed the big box, and turned to leave, looking very cold.

"Hey! Fang Heng! " Mo Jiawei called out and walked over from the side.

As soon as he received the news about Plan Scorpio project the previous night, he immediately took action and gathered information about the project in District 7.

"It's a headache. I can't find any clues related to Plan Scorpio. I've sent people to investigate several times, and I've even spent money to hire several professional teams to ask for information, but I still can't find any useful information. "

Fang Heng's heart sank as he mused, "District 8 hasn't been opened long enough, and the missions related to the Plan Scorpio haven't been triggered by any players, huh... The plan was perfect, but it's a failure from the first step. "

"I've already hired several small player teams to investigate, and there will be feedback every day. I've asked them to focus on investigating children with special abilities and the charities and orphanages under Meteorite Company... " As he spoke, Mo Jiawei yawned. "I can't do it, Fang Heng. I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to sleep. "

"Wait a moment. " Fang Heng grabbed Mo Jiawei.

It would take too much time just to investigate. Every day he dragged on meant consuming a large amount of main storyline contribution points.

Fang Heng thought that he had to try metaphysics. "There's something else I need your help with. It'll be quick. "

"Eh, what? "

Fang Heng pulled Mo Jiawei to the side and opened the map of Zombie Apocalypse's District 8. "Come, just randomly pick a location. "

Mo Jiawei was stunned for a moment before he reacted. "Really, bro? You're still playing around? This has nothing to do with luck. Let's not play metaphysics. "

"You're the one who's playing around. Zombie Apocalypse already has superpowers. Metaphysics should also be a type of superpower, right? It'll probably be useful. " Fang Heng was serious as he urged, "Hurry up and empty your mind. Just randomly pinpoint a location based on your feelings. The difficult task of saving the world will fall on you! "

Ha!

Mo Jiawei sighed heavily with a bitter face.

Under Fang Heng's expectant gaze, Mo Jiawei reached out his finger and circled a few times over the map.

Chapter 478: Got It

In the end, his finger didn't fall.

"But I really don't feel anything... "

"It's fine. Just pick one randomly. Just treat it as a lucky draw. Don't feel pressured. "

"God, you said it yourself. " Mo Jiawei swiftly shifted his gaze, pointed at the map, and giggled. "God, I think this place is not bad. "

"Yeah! I think so too! " Fang Heng nodded in agreement and looked at the map.

Upon closer look, he mused, "Eh? This place is... the Eastern region? It seems quite near, too... Damn, isn't this the prison shelter? ! "

"Are you kidding me? " Fang Heng looked up again, but Mo Jiawei had already dropped a simple sleeping bag and logged off.

Fang Heng scratched his hair. Things had gotten troublesome.

He had thought that District 8's Plan Scorpio would be an entry point, but who would have thought that it would be forcefully terminated because the server opening time was too short? Plan Scorpio being out of his reach was unexpected.

"Fang Heng! " As he was thinking, Fang Heng heard a joyful shout.

When he turned around, he saw Lucia.

Lucia walked quickly to Fang Heng and stood in front of him. She looked at him with a certain kind of expectation in her eyes. "Fang Heng, I missed you. "

Fang Heng silently opened his arms, in which Lucia passionately threw herself. "What were you whispering to Mo Jiawei just now? "

"Nothing. It's work-related. "

"Oh... Can you bring me to the parallel world next time? "

"It's a bit difficult. I don't think I can bring someone there in a short time... "

Cough, cough.

David coughed lightly and walked over. "Commander Fang Heng, it's such a coincidence that you're here. I just heard that there's an important breakthrough in vaccine research, so I brought people over to take a look. I think we're all family now. We can participate in the research together and speed up the research. What do you think of this proposal? "

Fang Heng understood. David had come over to optimize the improvement of the anti-virus vaccine.

"Sounds good! It's all to save this world. " Fang Heng's answer was righteous.

"Hint: player's favorability rating with the Dark Knights has reached the minimum requirement. Cooperative Research has been triggered. Currently, the players' shelter's research efficiency of the anti-virus vaccine has increased to 230% . "

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint.

The Dark Knights' research team was decently capable. With their help, research and development of the anti-virus vaccine would be accelerated.

Perhaps they could also provide some of the materials needed to make the vaccine.

Fang Heng was deep in thought.

"Why don't I see Dr. Qiu Yaokang? I want to talk to him about the details of the collaboration. Dr. Qiu's insight of vaccine research is unique and accurate. It's admirable. "

They had only exchanged a few sentences, but the other party was already talking about business.

Fang Heng nodded and said, "He just went to the research room. I'll bring you there. "

"I hope we can develop an effective vaccine as soon as possible. I feel like this world will soon return to peace. "

"By the way, can you tell me in detail about what happened in the parallel world? I'm pretty curious about the Dark Knights in that world. How are they doing? I think they should be fighting to save this world. "

Fang Heng's face froze as he mused, "They don't seem to be doing well... "

Fang Heng hurriedly changed the topic as they walked along the underground passage of the prison. "I observed a strong mutation reaction when I was conducting an anti-virus vaccine experiment in the parallel world. As the vaccine spread, the mutation reaction gradually increased. It has been confirmed that there is a mutation of Tier 5 mutated zombies. "

He continued, "It will probably be very difficult to spread the vaccine around the world. Moreover, it is very dangerous to spread the vaccine at this stage. I think we need to spend some time to continue optimizing it. We can try to spread it after developing a more stable vaccine version. "

David nodded in agreement. "Yes, you are right. This world has already suffered too much. We should think of a safer method. "

With the thought of giving it a try, Fang Heng asked casually, "Oh right, David, have you heard of Plan Scorpio? It seems to be related to Meteorite Company... Huh? "

The air suddenly froze, and everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Fang Heng, stunned, could not help but turn around.

As David and the Dark Knights all looked at Lucia at the same time, Lucia moved her lips and clenched her fists.

Under everyone's gaze, Lucia didn't say a word. She turned around and ran away quickly.

What was going on?

Fang Heng was baffled. He looked at David with a questioning gaze.

David also looked at Fang Heng with a strange gaze. "Fang Heng, you really don't know? "

Fang Heng was completely dumbfounded. "Huh? Should I know something? "

"All right. It seems like you really don't know. Lucia was once involved in Plan Scorpio. Apparently, something happened when she was a child because she couldn't control her strength, and her parents died in that accident. I heard from Barker that Lucia has always blamed herself for this. As for the details... " David sighed. "That's all we know. "

Fang Heng was stunned and a pair of scarlet pupils appeared in his mind.

"Lucia's eyes! They're exactly the same as the scarlet pupils Wallace had! Fang Heng instantly understood that the trigger point for the Plan Scorpio mission was the Dark Knights, and he felt very fortunate.

If it was in District 7, he would probably never be able to trigger the next main storyline.

"Wait... " Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat as he mused. "So... Mo Jiawei's superpower of metaphysics worked once again! ? "

"Fang Heng, I've seen more in life than you have. Whether you accept it or not, I have a suggestion that I feel I must give you... " David saw Fang Heng deep in thought and asked, "Are you really not going to chase after Lucia? "

"I almost forgot! " Fang Heng thought as he came back to his senses again and immediately chased after Lucia.

...

Over in the prison.

The cold wind that blew against Lucia's face made her feel better. She sat alone on the bench in the prison square.

When she thought of the things that were buried deep in her memory, Lucia's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She clenched her fists and restrained herself from crying out loud.

Looking up, Lucia saw Fang Heng walking toward her.

"I'm sorry, Fang Heng. I... I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I... " Lucia was a little flustered and seemed eager to explain something.

"Yes, of course, I believe you. "Fang Heng sat next to Lucia. "I just found out about Plan Scorpio. It's actually related to the global outbreak of the zombie virus that we're investigating. "

Lucia's eyes were filled with confusion. "It's related to the outbreak of the virus? "

"You might not be comfortable with sharing your past. It's okay. I just need to... "

Chapter 479: One More Time

"No, I'm not. " Lucia pulled a corner of Fang Heng's shirt and rested her head on his shoulder. "When I was young, I had a special ability. After that accident, I was brought to my grandparents' house. Not long after, a psychiatric treatment center came to my grandparents' house. They told my grandparents that they had the ability to cure my illness and were willing to provide free treatment... "

She continued, "At the beginning, we didn't know that it was actually the secret research institute of Meteorite Company. Like other children with special abilities, I was a research subject of Meteorite Company. They think that children like us who have some kind of special ability are extremely special. They call us spiritual energy users. Spiritual energy users usually awaken their strength gradually from the age of three. After that, they will enter a period of trainable growth. When they reach the age of 30, their strength will completely stop growing. From the age of 3 to the age of 12, this period is the best time to train their special abilities. "

Lucia then uttered, "Actually, it wasn't as bad as you imagined at the beginning. I met many friends of the same age there, and they encountered all kinds of problems in their lives just like me. In that place, we didn't have to endure the strange gazes of others like the outside world, and we didn't have to worry about our own strength being unable to be controlled and causing damage to others. We were actually very happy during that time. "

Fang Heng mused, "Children's psychiatric treatment center! That's right! That should be a place similar to the orphanage in District 7! "

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. He asked, "What happened after that? "

"After that... " Lucia shook her head. "After that, we were separated, and Plan Scorpio was terminated. It was only after a long period of time that I understood. Meteorite Company discovered that after spiritual energy users came into contact with the G-virus, they were able to have a stronger mutation reaction, and they were able to control the zombie virus more freely. At that time, we were considered by Meteorite Company as the best people for carrying out research projects. "

"We were sent to Meteorite Company's research rooms around the world for research on virus fusion. And after that... " Lucia's eyes showed resolution. "I found an opportunity and escaped from there. "

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed.

He had guessed more than half of it correctly!

Next, as long as they found the orphanage, they would be able to find District 8's Hila tissues and the few spiritual energy users who had stayed in the orphanage.

From those users, they would be able to obtain the next clue to uncovering the hidden mission line!

"It's all right, " Fang Heng comforted Lucia and patted her back gently. "Do you still remember where the psychiatric treatment center was built at that time? "

"Hmm, I don't remember most events from my childhood. I don't know the specific address either. I only know that it's in the Western region's ice field area. I can go there with you to look for it. I remember the route there. We'll definitely be able to find it. "

"Let's go and check it out together. " Fang Heng looked at Lucia. "Are you feeling better? "

"Yes, I'm fine. We can set off now. "

"Really? "

Lucia raised her head, met Fang Heng's gaze, and gently pecked forward.

Instantly, Fang Heng's face flushed red.

"Damn it! I've been teased by an NPC! " he mused.

...

According to the information obtained from Colonel Barker, the orphanage where Lucia and the others were experimented on had been purchased by a relevant member of Meteorite Company and converted into a private manor.

Through the teleportation gates left by the Dark Knights, Fang Heng and Lucia teleported to the ice field area of the Western region, specifically a Dark Knights' contact point that was the closest to the manor.

The two of them asked for a military truck and followed Lucia's memories to find the former children's psychiatric treatment center.

This time, Fang Heng was prepared.

The trailer behind the truck was loaded with a truckload of vine zombies and a few Lickers.

The two of them drove around for a long time until the next morning and stopped outside a manor located halfway up the mountain.

After getting out of the truck, Lucia looked up at the building in front of her. Memories of the past gradually surfaced in her mind.

"Fang Heng, this is the place. I'm very sure that I lived here for a few years when I was young. "

"It might be dangerous inside. "

Fang Heng also sized up the manor building in front of him, secretly making plans in his heart.

The previous time, he accidentally destroyed the research data in District 7, causing the follow-up mission to fail. This time, he had to change his plan.

"Lucia, there's a lot of important information in the secret research room under the manor. Later, I'll think of a way to lure out the people hidden inside. They should have the information we need. It's best if we can capture them alive. "

Fang Heng explained the next step of the battle plan to Lucia, "These people might have been modified by Meteorite Company's virus and possess extraordinary spiritual energy, but their physical strength is not high. "

Fang Heng stretched his wrists and arranged the mission tactics, "You stand guard at the door and listen to my instructions. We will try to capture them alive. "

"Okay, you have to be careful too. " Lucia set up the sniper rifle and aimed the muzzle at the door.

Fang Heng walked to the door, raised his shotgun with one hand, and fired at the door lock.

Bang!

The door lock was destroyed.

Fang Heng turned back to look at Lucia, then pushed the door open.

This time, Fang Heng deliberately made a lot of noise, trying to attract the people hiding in the manor.

The vine zombies got off the trailer behind the truck, moved their feet, and walked into the building to search.

Fang Heng stood at the entrance of the building and waited quietly.

A row of game hints began to refresh.

"Hint: you have given instructions to the zombie clones to search the building. "

"Hint: your zombie clone has begun to search the first basement. "

"Hint: your zombie clone has killed a common mutated zombie (agility) . "

"Hint: your zombie clone has obtained 1 wheelchair... "

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Hint: your vine zombie is dead. "

They were coming!

Common Tier 1 and Tier 2 mutated zombies could not defeat a vine parasite zombie.

Therefore, the spiritual energy users hiding in the building must have taken action.

Fang Heng strode into the hall and walked in the direction of the mutated zombie's death.

Soon, Fang Heng saw a familiar figure in the corridor leading to the underground storage room.

It was a young man with long hair.

Swoosh!

The man realized that there was something behind him and turned his head to look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was also staring at him.

"Wallace! "

It was confirmed! Wallace must be a character who had a great influence on the plot, so he existed in both District 7 and District 8!

Wallace was stunned for a moment, obviously very curious as to why the stranger in front of him was able to call out his name.

In the next moment, Wallace's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"So you guys are just unwilling to let me go, is that it? ! "

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 480: Acquaintances

Fang Heng frowned. He felt that Wallace might have misunderstood something. "No, I just want to talk to you. "

"Why are you not willing to let us go... " Wallace stared at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng's pupils constricted. He felt a momentary daze in his brain.

When he regained consciousness again, Fang Heng only saw an old iron door spinning in the air and whizzing toward him.

"Hint: you have received a mental attack. "

"Hint: check passed. You have been affected by the mental attack and have entered a state of mental shock for 0.5 seconds. "

Fang Heng did not feel anything during the 0.5 seconds. It was as if he had been erased from the world!

Danger was approaching. Fang Heng raised his fist and threw a fierce punch forward.

Bang! !

The iron door was sent flying, and Fang Heng turned around and ran.

It wasn't that he couldn't beat Wallace.

It was that Fang Heng was afraid that he would accidentally force Wallace into a corner. When that happened, the latter would go crazy and destroy all the useful information in the manor.

Even though they were all in the first basement, Fang Heng still wanted to play safe.

The confidential information in the manor might be an important piece of the puzzle leading to the truth!

He had to ensure the safety of the information.

"You can't escape! " When Wallace saw Fang Heng escape, he gritted his teeth and chased after him.

It was not easy to find such a place to hide. If his hiding spot was exposed...

With that thought, Wallace quickly chased after Fang Heng until he saw Fang Heng run out of the manor gate.

Just as he stepped out of the manor gate, Wallace felt that something was not right.

Eh?

Where was he?

Wallace narrowed his eyes and noticed the reflection of the sniper scope in the distance.

Before Wallace could see clearly, a voice sounded by his ear.

"You're looking for me? "

Wallace was stunned, instantly sensing great danger.

Fang Heng, who was hiding at the side, flashed out from beside Wallace, and his huge fist smashed fiercely toward him.

Weng! ! !

A visible spiritual barrier opened up in front of Wallace, whose pupils constricted.

Pa!

A soft sound rang out.

Fang Heng's fist had smashed against the barrier.

Creak, creak...

The visible spiritual barrier actually caved in, emitting a creaking sound and seeming like it was about to shatter.

Piang!

The visible spiritual barrier smashed like glass. Fang Heng took advantage of the situation to smash Wallace's face, sending him flying toward the other side of the manor main gate.

Fang Heng's heart was extremely calm as he observed Wallace's every move.

Following that, the enraged Wallace would most likely use Tier 2 control skills that ignored defense!

After landing on the ground, Wallace propped himself up with one hand and stood up shakily. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As expected, he wasn't dead yet!

Fang Heng was already prepared. With a flip of his wrist, the vampiric spirit cane appeared in his hand.

"Lucia! Do it! " Fang Heng shouted and knocked the vampiric spirit cane hard on the ground.

A red light spread out in all directions with the spirit cane as the center, enveloping Wallace almost instantly.

Wallace was stunned. He felt that all of his abilities could not be controlled and awakened in an instant.

Everything was in Fang Heng's plan!

Three seconds was enough to complete the plan!

Just as Fang Heng had planned in advance, he used the silence skill to prevent Wallace from using control skills. Then, Lucia would shoot Wallace with a tranquilizer gun!

After knocking Wallace out, Fang Heng would pack him up and bring him back to the research institute for Qiu Yaokang to study!

However, the plan did not proceed as Fang Heng had expected.

He did not hear the sound of Lucia firing the tranquilizer gun.

"Oh no! Lucia might be in trouble! " Fang Heng's heart sank as he thought.

His back was facing Lucia, so he was unable to determine Lucia's condition.

Then, it was time for plan B!

Fang Heng immediately controlled the four Lickers hidden in the surroundings to pounce on Wallace.

Wallace was not as crazy as he had imagined. He did not make any moves to dodge or counterattack. Instead, he looked behind Fang Heng in surprise.

"Lucia? "

Then, Fang Heng heard Lucia's surprised voice. "Wallace? Is It really you? "

Fang Heng was stunned.

What was going on? Did they know each other?

A look of joy appeared on Wallace's face. "Lucia, it's great to see you again... "

As he said that, Wallace fell backward.

Bang...

Wallace fell heavily to the ground and fainted.

Fang Heng turned around and looked at Lucia behind him in confusion. "You know him? "

"He's Wallace. He's a friend of mine who was being treated with me in the psychiatric treatment center when I was young. I wasn't sure until he called my name, " Lucia explained and quickly walked forward to help Wallace up from the ground.

"He probably just fainted. " She heaved a sigh of relief and took out the treatment spray.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. "If you know Wallace, do you know Hila? Hila Rui Qi? "

Lucia opened her mouth and nodded. "I know her. Rui Qi is different from us. She's the strongest among us. She's also the oldest one who has stayed in the treatment center for the longest time... "

...

In the basement, Wallace looked at Fang Heng with a hint of fear in his eyes.

When he was young, countless people said that he was a monster. But currently, the person in front of him could break his enhanced spiritual defense barrier with one punch.

That guy was the real monster!

"Wallace, why are you here? " Lucia asked with concern, "I've been trying to find you ever since I escaped from Meteorite Company. The government has searched and seized several of Meteorite Company's secret research bases, but you were not inside when the police went to find you. "

"Of course they couldn't find us. We were immediately teleported after the incident. " Wallace recalled the situation at that time and said with a wry smile, "It wasn't until the zombie apocalypse that Meteorite Company was completely destroyed and I escaped from them. "

He continued, "I don't have any other relatives. I didn't know where to stay during the zombie apocalypse, so I thought of this place. I thought that the other companions who escaped might also come back here, and my guess was right. I found Tang Bai here. "

Tang Bai looked very young. He hid in a corner, curled up, and looked at Fang Heng with fear.

"Don't mind him. Tang Bai is a bit autistic. " Wallace explained, "After the disaster broke out, Tang Bai escaped from the research institute and has been hiding here. After we found Tang Bai, we decided to stay here temporarily. It took me a lot of effort to fix this place. "

Wallace scratched his hair in embarrassment and thought of something, "Oh, right, Lucia, I have another piece of good news to tell you. When I left, I found a file in the research institute where I was imprisoned. It recorded the exact location of the research institute where our companions were imprisoned. "

Chapter 481: New Main Storyline

"I originally wanted to wait until we settle down before heading out with Tang Bai to look for them. Now that you're here, we can go together. We'll soon find Frege and the others. "

"Really? That's great. " Lucia revealed a happy expression. "We can go look for them together. "

Fang Heng was stunned. "Wallace, are you saying that you and Tang Bai are the only two people in the shelter? "

"Yes, just the two of us. "

Fang Heng opened his mouth and understood.

The timeline of District 8 was more than ten years earlier than the timeline of District 7.

The zombie apocalypse had just happened, and Wallace had just returned to the manor. He still hadn't found his companions and the Hila tissue sample!

In other words, the entire mission line of the Hila tissue sample had yet to be triggered!

Fang Heng pressed on, "In the materials that you retrieved from the research institute, was Hila Rui Qi's location included? "

"Yeah, Rui Qi is in there too. "

A line of game hints popped up in Fang Heng's vision.

"Hint: player has triggered the main storyline Hila Rui Qi. "

Mission name: Hila Rui Qi.

Mission difficulty: S

Mission description: you have learned about the story of Wallace. Please follow Wallace to find Hila Rui Qi.

Mission requirements: find the research institute where Hila is at. Find the missing Hila Rui Qi.

"Great! I have to take the initiative to search for the mission, " Fang Heng thought to himself. "On the bright side, District 7's Wallace was able to find the Hila tissue sample by himself. The mission difficulty shouldn't be too high. With this mission, I'll also be able to find more clues related to the Hila experiment. I might be able to earn more main storyline contribution points, too. But time isn't on my side. After two days, it'll cost 400 main storyline contribution points in order to delay the announcement for another 24 hours. I can't afford that. "

Fang Heng looked at Wallace. "Wallace, are you feeling better? Time is limited. I suggest that we set off immediately to look for Rui Qii. "

"Now? So soon? "

...

The sky gradually darkened.

Recently, the Federation of District 7 was having a very difficult time.

That was especially so for the federal shelter in the Songxi Mountain area.

The large number of high-tier zombie creatures that had previously been left behind in the Edge Creek Town region were still roaming about there.

As the ones closest to Edge Creek Town, the federal shelter had been dealing with the large group of high-tier zombies that came out of Edge Creek Town almost 24 hours a day.

Apart from the zombie group, there was also the mutant worm bodies that appeared from time to time.

"Sir, the latest file from superiors! Please review it. "

"Give it to me. " Liang Hucheng took the file from his subordinate and opened it to read it carefully.

He mused, "Strange! He immediately started to prepare to build a space tearing teleportation stabilizing device in District 7? Is it to deal with the Scavenger Army? Kou Huai persuaded the Federation's upper echelons to make use of the strength of other game worlds to make a move against District 7, and the Federal Central Assembly actually agreed? " Liang Hucheng's brows were tightly knitted.

He had heard some rumors.

In recent years, the Federation's influence in advanced game worlds had suffered repeated setbacks, and resources were extremely tight. Normally, they would not waste their limited resources on low-tier game worlds.

"Make the arrangements. Immediately prepare the needed materials according to the list given by superiors. "

"Understood! ! "

...

It was close to midnight.

Fang Heng and his group of four others took a helicopter and hovered in the sky above Haimu City.

Haimu City used to have the most prosperous economy and advanced scientific research in the entire Western region.

After the outbreak of the zombie virus, the place had since long been reduced to ruins.

The densely packed zombie team crowded the street.

Wallace and Tang Bai looked at the scene of the zombie rampage from the helicopter, their faces slightly pale.

Fang Heng also felt his head throb. It was as if he had sabotaged himself.

Because of the anti-virus vaccine, a large number of high-tier zombies resurrected and formed a giant-sized zombie wave.

His zombie clones temporarily stayed in District 7 to cooperate with the Scavenger Army to resist the aftermath of the zombie wave that had wandered out of Edge Creek Town. He was unable to help District 8.

Considering the large number of zombies in Haimu City of District 8 and the fact that it was an S-level main storyline mission, he had to put in substantial effort.

Without his cheat key, Fang Heng didn't think that his team alone could complete the mission in a short time.

For safety reasons, Fang Heng still thought of a solution.

Through the authority of the deputy commander of the Dark Knights, Fang Heng directly announced the highest level of operations within the Dark Knights and pulled 20 elite teams over to carry out the mission.

Fang Heng had always thought that he was very good at coordinating human wave attacks.

The only trouble was that he had used up a large amount of Dark Knights contribution points.

The walkie-talkie kept transmitting the feedback from the various combat squads.

"Reporting to Commander! Squad One has arrived at the specific location. Landing completed. Clearing the landing platform of zombies... "

"Squad Three has arrived at the predetermined location. Landing in progress. "

"Squad Seven has completed landing. Setting up the communication tower. "

"Squad Two has arrived and is trying to land according to the plan. "

"Squad Twelfth is expected to arrive in two minutes... "

Fang Heng took out his walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice, "Colonel Barker, you will be in charge of the whole operation. My team and I will invade from the roof. We will meet up in the central research room. By the way, tell the others to be careful when searching for the materials. Try not to damage them. "

"Understood! "

"Start the operation! "

"Yes! "

Mo Jiawei shrunk his neck in panic. The plane crash that happened when he went to Pine City with Fang Heng was still vivid in his mind.

Who would have thought that in just a month, Fang Heng had become the highest-ranking commander of the operation?

"Hey, guys, we're here! " The pilot waved to the back and dropped a rope down.

Using the rope, Fang Heng and the other four landed on top of a building in the city.

Gunshots were heard.

The few of them cooperated and quickly took care of the few wandering zombies gathered on the roof of the research institute.

After coming all the way here and seeing the scene of zombies rampaging in Haimu City, Wallace had a premonition. He raised his head and asked, "Fang Heng, Rui Qi has probably left this place, right? "

"Maybe partially... " Fang Heng mused. He didn't tell Wallace and the others about the Hila tissue sample in advance.

In District 7, it had been confirmed that Hila had been dead for several years.

No, to be precise, Hila didn't die. Her cells were still alive.

She had just been taken apart for several years.

"Maybe. There are still a lot of experimental data in this place. These data are very useful to us. Maybe we can find out where Rui Qi went through them. "

"Okay. "

"Don't think too much. Focus. " Fang Heng nodded. He took out his machete from his backpack and swallowed a bottle of powerful anti-infection potion. Then, he continued, "For our next part of the plan, to put it simply, we'll rashly go in and find a way to infiltrate the central research room and find information related to Hila. Then, immediately evacuate. "

Chapter 482: Confusion

In Meteorite Company's advanced research institute in Haimu City, Entrance C.

Xiao Jing and Xu bin descended from the helicopter one after the other through the rope ladder.

The two of them looked at each other.

Until now, the two of them still did not understand the situation.

In the early morning, the two of them suddenly received an emergency gathering mission from the Dark Knights.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually related to the main storyline quest? !

The two of them were immediately dumbfounded.

Hadn't the main storyline of District 8 been interrupted by the Night Owl organization a long time ago? Could it be that they had made some new discoveries?

Ever since the first-generation meteorite was destroyed, the players deployed by the Federation and hidden within the Dark Knights had stopped taking action.

In any case, the main storyline progress was also frozen, so they should just do whatever they were supposed to do.

However, who would have thought that in the middle of the night, the Dark Knights would suddenly launch such an emergency operation?

A total of 20 elite team members had been dispatched, and the scale of the operation was even larger than the previous operation in Pine City.

After receiving the news, the Federation's headquarters in District 8 was also dumbfounded.

...

The incident had happened so suddenly that the command post immediately asked Xiao Jing and Xu Bin to join the mission to investigate.

When they were in the helicopter, Xiao Jing also tried to ask the Dark Knights' NPC team leader.

Unfortunately, his honor was too low, so the team leader ignored him.

"Now, let's announce the mission plan. We are now at the Meteorite Company's advanced research institute in Haimu City. Our mission is to seal and clean up the research institute's Entrance C, and then invade the research institute from Entrance C to carefully search for the research materials. Do you understand? ! "

"Yes! ! "

The 9th elite team received the order and immediately rushed to the right side of the research institute.

"Xu Bin, do you feel that the voice coming from the communication station is a bit familiar? "

"Huh? Is it? " Xu Bin patted Xiao Jing's shoulder. "You heard wrong. I heard that he has gone missing. There are also rumors that he was kidnapped by Night Owl. "

"So you also think that it sounds like his voice, right? "

Xu Bin curled his lips. "Don't think too much. Work seriously. This mission is related to the main storyline. We must do our best to ensure that we can join the main storyline mission chain. "

"Yes, I understand. " Xiao Jing nodded. He was in high spirits and said, "This operation is so sudden. Night Owl probably won't know in advance. It will most likely be smoother than the previous operation in Pine City. "

...

Everything was as Xiao Jing had expected. The movement of the Dark Knights was unusually smooth!

The Dark Knights only used less than half an hour to control all the entrances and exits of the central research room.

The squads invaded the research institute and thoroughly cleaned up the zombies inside, collecting all kinds of research materials.

In order to complete the main storyline, Xu Bin and Xiao Jing worked hard. They did their best to kill zombies and earn points along the way, and they were praised by the team leader.

They even relied on Xu Bin's special skills to find the hidden blueprint. They even found the access card to the secret research room!

They went around to the central research room and found a sturdy alloy door in place.

Xu Bin and Xiao Jing found a way to find the spare battery pack from the reserve materials warehouse. They brought the battery pack back to the second basement to repair the power supply.

After almost an hour, the two of them finally completed the installation of the battery pack with the help of the elite Dark Knights and returned to the secret research room.

"Well done! " Colonel Barker nodded in approval.

Xu Bin and Xiao Jing stood at the side obediently, waiting for the hint of the mission.

Barker turned on the walkie-talkie. "Commander Fang Heng, the power supply of the underground secret research room has been restored. You can come down now. "

"Huh? " Hearing what Barker said, Xu Bin and Xiao Jing were stunned. Then, they looked at each other at the same time and quickly communicated with their eyes. "He said Fang Heng, right? Did I hear wrong? "

Ding.

The elevator door opened. Fang Heng and the others walked out of the elevator and walked straight to the entrance of the secret research room through the passage.

Xu Bin looked at the people who walked out of the elevator and was stunned for a moment. He shouted in disbelief, "Fang Heng? ! "

Fang Heng looked at Xu Bin and Xiao Jing, a little stunned as well.

"That's right! The two old acquaintances from the operation in Pine City! The two of them can barely be considered elite Dark Knights, " he mused.

Time was too tight, and Fang Heng had contacted Dark Knights to carry out the operation plan while forgetting that they still had players from the Federation.

Several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng's mind.

"Forget it. It's outside of the plan, but it wouldn't have much of an impact. My main storyline contribution points can only last for another four days at most. When the contribution points leaderboard rankings of District 8 are released, it will be revealed that my contribution points are far ahead. The Federation would then most likely be able to deduce that I have the means to open a Tier 2 dimensional door.

Currently, since the other party still didn't have enough information, he might be able to influence the judgment of Kou Huai from District 7 and make Kou Huai mistakenly think that he was returning to District 8.

Thinking of that, Fang Heng smiled and greeted the two of them, "It's you two. Thank you for your hard work. It's so late at night. "

"This... " Xu Bin and Xiao Jing stood awkwardly on the spot, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Was it really Fang Heng?

Wasn't it rumored that he had gone missing?

There were also people who said that he had become the leader of the Scavenger Army and was part of the anti-federation forces in District 7, causing havoc in the game and turning District 7 into a mess.

When did he return to District 8?

And he even became the deputy commander of the Dark Knights? !

Why? Why were they only at the private rank?

So Fang Heng had transferred back to District 8?

Putting everything else aside, how did he manage to raise his reputation points in the Dark Knights to such a high level in such a short time?

Could it be...

As they thought about it, the two of them simultaneously shifted their gazes to Lucia who was next to Fang Heng.

By living off a woman?

It couldn't be that. Barker was only a colonel.

It wasn't the right time to ask. Although he was full of doubts, Xu Bin noticed Colonel Barker's gaze and nudged Xiao Jing. "Hurry up and open the door. "

"Oh, okay. "

Xiao Jing came to his senses and walked forward. He swiped the magnetic card he had collected on the door sensor.

"Verification successful. The system is rebooting... "

Ka...

After the verification was completed, the metal door was unlocked.

Xiao Jing pushed the door open. Before he could take a step, he heard Fang Heng say sternly, "Wait! Don't go in yet! "

Xiao Jing quivered and immediately retreated.

Then, everyone heard a dense sizzling sound coming from the door.

Behind them, the elite Dark Knights immediately raised their weapons and aimed at the entrance.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

In the blink of an eye, a large group of Lickers pounced out from inside the room!

"Fire! "

The elite Dark Knights immediately aimed at the Lickers and pulled the trigger.

With the continuous firing, the Lickers that rushed out of the door crazily fell one after another at the narrow entrance.

Chapter 483: Private Diary

The gunfire continued for a full five minutes until the Lickers in the room no longer appeared. Only then did Fang Heng put away his guns and carefully stepped into the room to investigate.

"Buzz..."

Automatic sensor lights lit up, illuminating the entire hall.

Many elite Dark Knights filed in and began to raise their guns to clean up the remaining Lickers in the secret research hall.

After a while, the gunshots stopped.

Colonel Barker nodded and said, "It's confirmed that it's safe!"

Fang Heng looked around the secret research hall and observed.

The first thing he saw was a thick book placed next to the main control platform.

Fang Heng picked up the book on the table.

Found it! Private diary!

[Hint: Player obtained item-Ken's private diary.]

7.7

Through Dr. Kailin's recommendation, I was promoted to become a member of the secret research team for the first-generation virus. I will be in the research team to deeply study the fusion of virus and spiritual energy users.

...

Through fusion, I believe that we can unlock the secret of eternal life.

12.30

Hila Rui Qi.

After hundreds of experiments, I am sure that we have found the perfect experimental subject.

Her cell tissue has extraordinary strength, can perfectly withstand the virus body erosion and even fusion of the first-generation virus.

She is so perfect...

4.9

Rui Qi and I fell in love.

She is innocent, kind-hearted and she looks really good when she smiles.

Despite the pain of the experiment, she still does her best to cooperate.

Rui Qi and I share the same ideals.

I believe that we can develop a cure for everything so that people will no longer suffer from the pain of illness.

9.6

We have the crystallization of love.

We held a wedding and received everyone's blessings.

I have a career and also my love.

I am the happiest person in the world.

12.3

What on earth is that?

Rui Qi doesn't know either. She told me that a few months ago, she started having these horrible dreams.

They were happening more and more.

She felt like something was trying to control her brain.

Was it a mutant worm?

During the investigation, we found a mutant worm body in the first-generation meteorite.

That worm body can control humans. It's extremely dangerous...

I'm a little scared, but I'm trying to be calm, and I don't want Rui Qi to worry too much.

7.8

Last night, Rui Qi had another nightmare.

This is definitely not normal postpartum syndrome.

I heard her shouting 'Ouroboros'.

What is that thing?

12.9

A lot has happened during this time, and Rui Qi's mental condition is getting worse, and she's becoming more and more irritable.

The experimental data showed that she was showing signs of losing control.

What should I do?

8.27

Too many things had happened in the past three years.

Rui Qi's loss of control was a foregone conclusion.

As for me...

I'm a waste, and I can't change this outcome!

Rui Qi told me that she was willing to make sacrifices, and she was willing to respect my choice. If sacrificing her alone could guarantee everyone's safety...

Eudora was right.

We have to make a decision.

I love her.

10.28

Rui Qi went missing.

I should have thought of this earlier!

The day before she went missing, she was already acting strangely. She kept telling me that she was sorry and that I had to take good care of Milia.

I knew that it was Eudora's doing! What on earth did she do to Rui Qi!

11.27

I really want to find Eudora and interrogate her, but I have to take good care of Milia.

What should I do?

2.4

Eight years!

I've been looking for Rui Qi for eight years.

I finally heard a terrible truth from an old friend.

They actually...

I hate myself for being too weak and unable to protect Rui Qi!

4.6

He finally agreed to take me to see Rui Qi.

A part of Rui Qi was placed in the high-level research room of the Meteorite Company in Haimu City.

I'll disguise myself as an experimental personnel and blend in.

It's great to be able to see Rui Qi with my own eyes.

Milia can finally see her mother.

I'll think of a way to save her.

...

The contents of the diary ended here.

On the last page, a photo fell out of the notebook.

Fang Heng picked up the photo album from the ground and fell into silence again.

On the photo album was a group photo of a family of three. It should be Ken, Hila and their daughter, Milia.

After reading the entire diary, Fang Heng felt his heart stop.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Heng forced himself to calm down and analyze the contents of the diary.

Eudora.

One of the three pioneers who founded the Meteorite Company.

The Hila experiment should refer to the special experiment of fusing the first-generation virus and psychic Hila Rui Qi.

During the experiment process, Hila lost control.

The experiment was ultimately beyond the Meteorite Company's control.

Referring to District 7, the description of Hila's disappearance in the notebook should refer to the fact that after being dismembered by Eudora, Hila's tissue samples were hidden by the Meteorite Company in every corner of the world.

The problem was...

"Ouroboros..."

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

This was the third time he had seen this name.

The first time was in his own home, the second time was when he was searching for the first-generation meteorite in District 8, and the third time was in Ken's diary...

What did it represent?

What was the connection with the main storyline?

Also, at the end of the diary...

"Ka..."

Fang Heng heard a soft sound behind him and could not help but look back.

Wallace was tapping on the main control platform in the hall. Tang Bai was standing beside him with his eyes closed and his hands on the main control platform.

"Tang Bai's special spiritual ability can hack into the electronic system. This method can quickly crack the password in a short period of time."

Wallace noticed Fang Heng's gaze. As he operated the platform, he explained to Fang Heng succinctly, "Did you find anything in the book?"

"Yes, before the apocalypse, Hila may have already disapp..."

Fang Heng had just finished speaking when the main control screen in the hall suddenly lit up.

A game hint flashed in front of his eyes.

[Hint: Player has completed the current stage of the mission Hila Rui Qi. Player has received 1,000 main storyline contribution points. Player has triggered the next stage of the mission-Hila's out-of-control tissue sample.]

Mission difficulty: SS

Mission description: In the research institute, you seem to have learned some truth about the Hila experiment. However, at this time, danger has already arrived.

Mission requirements: Kill the mutated Hila's tissue sample.

Mutated Hila's tissue sample?

Fang Heng's heart trembled.

At the same time, upon receiving the mission hint, the expressions of Xiao Jing and the others changed drastically.

What was going on? They were going to have a Boss fight?

"Kaka kaka kaka kaka kaka..."

There was a sound coming from the metal door behind the secret research room.

The elite Dark Knights in the hall immediately turned their heads around and aimed their muzzle at the door.

"Bang!!!"

There was a muffled and heavy sound.

Bang Bang!!

Along with the continuous sounds of collisions, a huge dent appeared on the metal door.

It was as if something powerful was continuously banging against the metal door!

Under the continuous banging, a small crack had appeared on the joint between the door and the door frame.

Fang Heng's pupils constricted.

Small grayish-brown worm bodies continuously came out from the crack in the door.

Chapter 484: Confrontation

"Be careful!!!"

Fang Heng recognized the thing on the ground at first glance.

Mutant worm body!

Unlike the mutant worm body that was released by the fusion Tyrant form, the mutant worm body that came out from the crack of the door was grayish brown.

The densely packed mutant worm bodies came out from the crack of the door crazily.

The elite Dark Knights also reacted immediately, raising their guns and shooting at the worm bodies on the ground.

However, there were too many worm bodies!

Seeing that the worm bodies were about to surround them, Wallace suddenly raised his hand forward.

"Buzz..."

A transparent spiritual barrier opened up in front of everyone.

The spiritual barrier completely isolated the densely packed worm bodies outside!

Behind them, Xu Bin immediately reacted and shouted, "Use the Molotov cocktail!"

Fire attacks were a good move against a small mutant worm body.

...

Fang Heng immediately switched to the focused flamethrower and started to burn the mutant worms that were swarming outside.

With the Molotov cocktail thrown out continuously, the ground burned with balls of flames.

The worm bodies pounced into the burning flames one after another, emitting a creaking sound and a burnt smell.

Mo Jiawei hid within the spiritual barrier, still feeling his right eyelid twitching. Looking up, his heart instantly chilled.

"This is troublesome. There's something up there too. We have to think of a way!"

Hearing this, Xu Bin and Xiao Jing looked up at the ceiling, only to see that there were still densely packed worm bodies climbing up the ceiling! Instantly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

After experiencing it personally, Fang Heng realized that his own mutant worm body was actually so difficult to deal with!

"Leave it to me."

Wallace gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Cover your ears."

Fang Heng instantly understood what Wallace was about to do. He immediately reached out his hands to cover his ears tightly.

Wallace's eyes were scarlet red as he shouted, "Get lost!!"

His mental strength instantly exploded!

The densely packed mutant worm bodies on the ceiling received a mental shock and fell from the air to the ground.

F*ck!

Covering his ears was useless.

Just like last time, Fang Heng lost his senses for a full 0.5 seconds before he recovered from it.

He glanced at Wallace and saw the blue veins on the latter's neck and the sweat continuously dripping down his face. He held back his ridicule and continued to raise the focused flamethrower to burn the unconscious mutant worm bodies on the ground.

The other players and elite Dark Knights also gradually woke up from the mental shock state and scrambled to deal with the mutant worm bodies.

No more worm bodies came out from behind the door. Seeing that the number of mutant worm bodies had decreased significantly, everyone once again tried to take control of the situation.

Wallace let go of the spiritual barrier and held the table by the side with one hand, breathing heavily.

"Crack..."

Before they could catch their breath, they heard a faint sound again.

Looking in the direction of the sound, there were granulation-like tentacles extending out from the crack through the metal door.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing could not help but curse, "D*mn it! It's endless! What the hell is that thing!"

Colonel Barker glanced at Xiao Jing and shouted, "Be careful! Everyone, be on alert! It might be Tier 2!"

The members of the Dark Knights, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat. At the same time, they raised their guns and aimed at the tentacles at the entrance.

"Whoosh!!!"

The squirming tentacle extended to a certain length before it suddenly swung towards the crowd.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang!"

The elite Dark Knights aimed at the granulation and fired!

The granulation was hit by the bullet and danced wildly in the air.

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

The door was still being hit.

"There are more and more d*mn things."

As Mo Jiawei said that, he retreated to the back of the team while raising his right hand to block in front of his right eye. He used his skill to read the information about the creature's attributes.

He quickly read out the information he had heard from the skill.

"The out-of-control Hila's mutated form, the product of the long-term fusion of Hila's tissue sample and rotten flesh. It does not possess any intelligence and will attack any living being."

"Hila's mutated tissue has a total of three stages. Currently, it is at Tier 2. It controls its tentacles to engage in battle. The tentacles have a corrosive effect and possess extremely strong infectivity. Its life form's strength is evaluated to be at Tier 4. Its weakness is corrosive attack. You need to increase the level of your skill to obtain more information..."

Tier 4 mutated life form!

Its weakness is corrosion!

With these two pieces of information, Colonel Barker immediately made arrangements and shouted, "Team 7! Quick! Get ready!"

"Bang!!"

The metal door finally couldn't take it anymore and was sent flying after a violent impact.

The out-of-control Hila's mutated form finally revealed its true appearance.

What kind of monster was that!!

Mo Jiawei couldn't help but feel disgusted.

A disgusting piece of flesh had more than ten tentacles growing on it, waving wildly like an octopus.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several sulfuric acid bombs were fired at the monster at the first moment.

"Boom! Boom Boom!!"

The strong corrosive sulfuric acid bombs bombarded the monster's body, causing streams of green mist to rise up!

The chemical burn caused an additional huge amount of damage to the monster!

Fang Heng, Lucia and the others hid behind a cover on the side.

He was glad that he had made sufficient preparations this time and brought 20 elite Dark Knights to provide support.

Fang Heng took out his sniper rifle and loaded it with armor-piercing bullets. He aimed at the target and began to shoot.

"Bang!"

The bullet hit a piece of flesh and the bullet splattered a pool of putrid juice.

Fang Heng secretly frowned.

Unfortunately, the weapons of the Dark Knights were still not as powerful as the sniper rifle specially developed by Ding Min.

After all, the equipment of the Scavenger Army was for NPCs who had been modified by the divine potion. They needed a high amount of basic attributes to equip it, so it was considered late-stage equipment.

When he had time, he would need to run to District 7 to bring one back.

Fang Heng pondered in his heart and continued to lower his head to shoot.

Tier 2 was a little simpler than Fang Heng had expected. The out-of-control Hila's tissue mutated form extended more than ten tentacles from its body, which could cause huge physical damage, but the mutated body itself could not move, moreover, the main body was extremely huge, so it was very easy to be hit by sulfuric acid bullets.

Slow and steady, victory was in his grasp.

The bullets crazily rained down on the monster.

"What the hell is this Hila mutant?!"

Other than armor-piercing bullets, explosive bullets and sulfuric acid bullets, the Hila mutant completely ignored other attacking methods!

On the other side, Xu Bin, who was hiding behind the cover, thought that the monster was terrifying.

He switched armor-piercing bullets while continuing to attack.

Time was too tight. They had not prepared for this mission at all, nor had they obtained any information. They were completely dumbfounded.

"It's too difficult. I've never seen such a scene before."

Xiao Jing wiped the sweat off his forehead. He realized that his damage output could not cause any damage to the monster, so he decided to trash it. He took out his notebook and began to record.

"It's an honor to meet Fang Heng again. I've heard rumors about Fang Heng in District 7..."

Just when he was halfway through writing, Xiao Jing heard the roar of the monster!

"Roar!!!"

Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to look.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 485: State of Fear

The outermost layer of Hila's mutant form gradually faded away, revealing an orange eyeball in the center of the flesh.

Xiao Jing felt that the pupil in the center of the eyeball was staring at them!

The moment he looked at the eyeball, Xiao Jing felt a shiver rising from the depths of his soul!

"F*ck, what the hell is that eye..."

[Hint: You are mentally disturbed by an unknown creature. You have entered a state of fear.]

A line of small words appeared in front of his eyes. Following that, Xiao Jing felt his limbs instantly become extremely stiff, like he was in a living nightmare. He was unable to move his body at all!

In the next second, Xiao Jing saw a huge tentacle in front of him charging towards him.

"Bang!"

Xiao Jing was hit directly by the tentacle. He was sent flying and crashed heavily into the wall!

The part where he was hit by the tentacle was burning with pain!

However, Xiao Jing was still in a state of fear and could not make any moves!

He could not even take medicine to recover his HP!

Hila's mutated form crazily waved its huge tentacles. The Dark Knights were all in a state of fear and were completely passive!

...

Fang Heng and the others were also affected by the state of fear. They were frozen on the spot.

It was not that he was completely unable to control his body. Instead, every movement required a lot of strength. As for the action of running, it was simply impossible!

Mo Jiawei whispered, "When the mutant body is in Tier 3, it possesses a powerful mental fear ability and is judged to have the strength of a Tier 4 creature. Its weakness is that eyeball. As long as you attack that eyeball, you will be able to cause fatal damage to it."

"The eyeball can continuously create a state of fear. As long as that eyeball is still there, the state of fear will last forever."

"Fang Heng," Wallace said in a deep voice, "I can help you break free temporarily. It will only last for three seconds at most. You must think of a way to get rid of it within three seconds."

Fang Heng glanced at Lucia beside him. The latter nodded very seriously and quickly came up with a reckless plan.

"I'll go and attract its attention first. You go up and stab it."

"Okay, let's do that," Fang Heng felt that this plan was pretty good, so he immediately nodded and started counting down. "Three, two, one."

"Start!"

Wallace shouted loudly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His spiritual defense barrier opened up again.

Fang Heng felt his body suddenly loosen up.

Almost instantly, Lucia took a step forward and rapidly approached the eyeball in front of her!

Several tentacles immediately pounced towards Lucia, trying to stall her in her footsteps.

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!"

The tentacles waved in the air, producing several air-piercing sounds!

Lucia was unable to dodge and could only try to block with her dagger.

"Ka!!"

The moment the dagger touched the tentacles, Lucia's heart trembled. She felt as if the dagger had slashed onto an extremely hard metal.

Then, a powerful force came at her. Lucia could not stand still and was forced to fly backward.

While her body was flying in the air, Lucia still maintained her balance. She aimed at the target and threw the dagger forward with all her might!

"Chi!!"

The dagger passed through the gaps of the waving tentacles and stabbed into the upper right corner of the eyeball of the out-of-control mutated form!

"Roar!!!"

A brutal and painful roar sounded in everyone's minds!

The tentacles that extended from the giant-sized piece of flesh shook crazily!

"Fang Heng! Now!"

On the side, Fang Heng dashed out and took advantage to approach the eyeball form which had lost control!

It was unknown when, but Fang Heng had a butcher's machete in his hand.

Machete was the most convenient for melee attacks.

"Chi!!"

The machete stabbed into the depths of the eyeball, all the way to the hilt.

Fang Heng's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness.

"Die!"

Fang Heng used all his strength, dragging the machete and pulling it to the side!

Chi!!!

From left to right, the machete drew a huge tear on the eyeball!

"Chi!"

A stinky thick juice spewed out along the tear!

The tentacles that were constantly waving gradually lost their strength, and the entire piece of flesh rapidly withered in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the originally huge piece of flesh melted into a pool of stinky blood in front of Fang Heng.

In the end, only a piece of flesh that was still slightly squirming was left on the ground.

As the eyeball form was destroyed, everyone gradually recovered from the state of fear.

"Quick! Don't just stand there! Quickly go and treat the injured!"

Colonel Barker was the first to recover from the state of fear. He shouted at everyone.

The elite Dark Knights also reacted one by one and immediately began to treat the injured.

Xiao Jing and Xu Bin looked at each other. They could feel a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

It was too terrifying.

There was no way to resist such a mental attack!

Then, the two looked at Fang Heng together.

That guy!

They had no doubt that Fang Heng could turn District 7 upside down by himself.

Judging from the way Fang Heng cut the eyeball in half, he was definitely a ruthless character!

Fang Heng still stood where he was, carefully staring at the piece of flesh on the ground.

It was not dead yet!

Fang Heng's gaze occasionally swept across the game log.

He had never received the game hint that he had killed Hila's mutated form.

Could it be that there was still a Tier 4?

Wait a minute...

Fang Heng thought of something.

He carefully squatted down and tried to touch the piece of flesh on the ground.

[Hint: You have found a special item-Hila's tissue.]

[Hint (triggered by low-level game difficulty): There is a high probability that Hila's tissue will mutate when exposed to the outside world. Please be careful!]

[Hint: Player has completed the mission-out-of-control Hila's tissue sample.]

Fang Heng roughly skimmed through the game hint and came to a realization.

Hila had an immortal body, so she could not be destroyed. That was why he didn't receive the game hint that she was killed.

From the looks of it, the reward for killing a Tier 4 out-of-control mutated creature whose strength had reached Tier 5 was Hila's tissue sample!

Hila's tissue sample could not be kept in his backpack, and there was a risk of subsequent mutations at every moment. He had to think of a way to store it.

Where was it originally stored?

There should be a special container made by the Meteorite Company in the small room behind the emergency exit?

There might even be an item that could trigger the next stage.

Fang Heng was about to go to the back of the door to check when he suddenly heard a painful cry behind him.

"Ah!!"

Tang Bai curled up and rolled on the ground in pain. He kept wailing.

The people around him did not know what had happened. They all formed a circle.

"Tang Bai! Tang Bai!"

Wallace was scared out of his wits. He quickly ran over and grabbed Tang Bai's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "What happened to you?"

"Maybe he was affected by the mental fluctuations of the mutated Hila's tissue just now." Lucia switched to the tranquilizer gun. "I will give him a sedative and let him rest for a while."

"No... No!"

Tang Bai almost shouted.

He clenched his teeth, his nails deeply embedded in his palm and cold sweat kept dripping down his face.

"I saw it!"

Chapter 486: Illusion

"What did you see?"

Tang Bai did not answer. Under everyone's gaze, he panted heavily and slowly stood up from the ground, propping himself up against the wall.

Step by step, he walked to Fang Heng's side and reached out to touch the flesh on the ground.

"Sister Rui Qi, her memory..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of Fang Heng's eyes!

The dazzling white light made Fang Heng unable to see anything for a moment.

When the white light dissipated, Fang Heng saw a third perspective image appear in front of him.

It was an illusion!

Fang Heng clearly knew that this was an illusion, but he still felt that everything was extremely clear, as if he was there.

A young man who looked to be in his thirties was kneeling in front of a large cultivation pod.

His face was filled with pain and guilt.

Fang Heng recognized him at a glance.

It was Ken!

...

And the little girl standing beside him! Milia!

They were the ones whom he saw in the photo in the notebook!

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

Fang Heng's heart sank.

The flesh formed from Hila's tissue in the cultivation pod began to throb crazily!

Ken clutched his chest as he watched the blood oozing out of his wound slowly dye his coat red. He slowly turned his head with great effort and looked behind him.

"Eudora..."

"Ken, I've advised you many times. Why can't you let it go?"

"Don't blame me. I have to do this. For the sake of this world, you should understand me. We all have lofty ideals, and we're willing to sacrifice everything for it, right?"

"You've disappointed me too much, Ken."

Without waiting for Ken to answer, Eudora waved her hand.

Behind Eudora, a few Meteorite Company guards fired at the same time.

"Bang! Bang!!"

Gunshots rang out.

Ken and Milia fell into a pool of blood.

"Crack..."

A crack appeared on the glass of the cultivation pod.

Eudora seemed to have realized something. She looked up at the cultivation pod with a look of surprise on her face.

The tissue sample of Hila in the cultivation pod actually started jumping crazily.

"Why? Does she still have consciousness? What kind of perception does she use to perceive the outside world?"

This was the first time Eudora saw such a scene. She muttered to herself and turned to the guard. "Quick! Tell Dr. Liang Han to find me. There's a big discovery. Go now! Quick!"

"Yes!"

Eudora turned around and reached out to touch the cracked tempered glass.

"Rui Qi..."

Suddenly, Eudora's expression changed drastically.

As if she had seen something extremely terrifying, her body suddenly twitched!

Then, she frantically reached out with both hands to strangle her throat.

All the guards in the room did the same thing. Their expressions were terrifying as they frantically grabbed onto their necks. They were in so much pain that they were unable to speak.

At that moment, a deep voice sounded in Fang Heng's ears.

"At the cost of my life, I curse this land that the dead will no longer go to the land of the afterlife..."

"Pu!!"

A red mutant worm body as thick as an arm crawled out from Eudora's mouth with all its might.

"Chi!!!"

Fang Heng's pupils constricted!

The red mutant worm body pounced in front of his eyes almost instantly.

The face of the mutant worm body twisted into a human shape and opened its huge mouth to face him!

Fang Heng could even smell the stench!

"I want to... resurrect!!!!"

Resurrect?!

"Bang!!"

In the next second, the illusion in front of him shattered like a mirror.

Everything returned to normal again.

Fang Heng slowly adjusted his breathing and looked around.

He was back.

This was the hall of the secret research room.

Most of the elite Dark Knights in the hall were still busy treating the injured. Xu Bin and Xiao Jing felt that something was wrong and looked at Fang Heng and the others in confusion.

In their eyes, Fang Heng and the others were absent-minded for a few seconds. Their faces were extremely pale as if they had experienced an extremely terrifying scene.

Xu Bin walked up and asked, "Fang Heng, what happened to you guys? Are you guys okay?"

"Yes, thank you. I'm fine."

The illusion just now was too real. Fang Heng's back was drenched in cold sweat.

The other four members of the team also experienced the illusion. They were all desperately breathing in the fresh air.

Mo Jiawei opened his mouth.

Recalling the scene just now, he felt as if he had understood something. However, after thinking about it carefully, he did not seem to be able to explain it clearly. So, he simply looked at Fang Heng to await his answer.

Fang Heng and Lucia exchanged glances, he said to Xu Bin and Lucia, "It might be the backlash of mental power after killing the Boss just now. It will be fine after a short rest. You guys go and check the room at the back. There might be clues related to the main storyline mission in there."

"Okay."

Xu Bin and Lucia were also concerned about the main storyline mission. They nodded their heads and followed the Dark Knights into the emergency exit to explore.

After the two Federation members were dismissed, Fang Heng's gaze swept past Wallace and the others.

After experiencing the illusion together, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"You guys saw it too, right?"

"Yes." Tang Bai explained, "At the start, I felt Sister Rui Qi's mental power undulations, so I took the initiative to search for her. I didn't expect her undulations to be too intense, and I suffered a backlash all of a sudden."

"The second time, I was prepared. I tried to communicate with the mental power of the flesh, and we saw this scene."

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded.

In the entire illusionary realm, the thing he was most puzzled about was that in the end, the red worm body shouted the word "Resurrection" at him.

"So Rui Qi is dead?"

Wallace guessed, "That's Sister Rui Qi's curse ability. At the last moment, she sacrificed her life as the price of the curse. I think her soul has already died, but because of the fusion of her body cells with the first-generation virus, her body is still immortal."

Mo Jiawei blurted out, "So now she has become a monster without consciousness?"

Tang Bai stared at Mo Jiawei.

"Uh, no, I don't mean that. I mean..."

Lucia patted Tang Bai's shoulder comfortingly. "Well, Rui Qi has lost her soul and consciousness, but her body may still be affected by the remnant will of hatred before she died, and she retains a few short memories."

Everyone fell silent again.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and broke the silence. He said, "Let me analyze it. After Hila's fusion with the first-generation virus, she gradually lost control. Eudora divided Hila's body into 12 parts and hid them in every corner of the world."

"Maybe during the process, Eudora kept one of them and was still secretly studying it."

"But Eudora didn't expect that even after she was divided, Hila still had a part of her consciousness and she could even sense the outside world through her special ability

"After witnessing, or perhaps sensing, the death of her family members at Eudora's hands, Hila cursed the world."

"The origin of this game's apocalypse world was actually a curse."

"In the past, we have always wondered why almost all the top management of the Meteorite Company, including Eudora, disappeared overnight."

Chapter 487: Two Hidden Endings

Fang Heng looked at everyone and made a judgment, "I think it's not because the Meteorite Company has some special plan to secretly hide somewhere in the world and develop in secret."

"In reality, they're all dead."

"They were cursed by Hila at the first moment and became the first batch of zombies in the Zombie Apocalypse."

The game hint refreshed in Fang Heng's vision.

[Hint: Player has completed the main storyline mission-Hila's curse, the origin of the world has been revealed (85%), player has received 20,000 main storyline contribution points.]

[Hint: Player has triggered hidden ending (SSS): Eternal Moon.]

Ending description: You think that Hila is right. There are too many tragedies in this world. Death is not the final salvation. Sinners should be reincarnated in pain forever.

Ending trigger condition: Find all of Hila's tissues buried by the Meteorite Company, revive Hila Rui Qi, and the Blood Moon will be eternal on Earth.

Mission description: If you choose to change the ending, this will cause strife between you and the Dark Knights.

[Hint: Player has triggered hidden ending (SSS): Final Purification.]

Ending description: Hila has suffered too much pain, but this world should not be a victim. Find a way to find all of Hila Rui Qi's life form and seal it, ending the curse entirely.

Mission description: Find a way to destroy (seal) Hila's life form and destroy (seal) all of Hila's tissue samples, ending (break) Hila's curse.

[Hint: Player, please choose your ending carefully.]

...

It's done!

Fang Heng sighed in his heart when he saw the line-by-line game hints that popped up.

His judgment was correct.

Then there was only one question left.

Ouroboros.

If this riddle was solved, the final 15% of the secret would be answered.

Unfortunately, there was still no clue to this riddle.

"Holy shit, God, we're awesome."

Mo Jiawei's eyelids twitched when he saw the new game hints. He patted Fang Heng's shoulder heavily, his excited voice trembling.

"3S hidden ending! Did you see it, God! 3S!!!"

"Yes!"

Fang Heng's attention shifted away from Ouroboros and let out a soft grunt.

3S hidden ending!

No wonder Mo Jiawei was so excited.

According to the information he received from special sources, the player who completed the ending would receive a high reward. The higher the level of the ending, the more generous the reward.

Most of the endings of the Zombie Apocalypse were A-level. For example, the Mechanical Dawn and the Gardener's Path that were exposed by the players were A-level and B-level respectively. According to reliable sources, although the Federation obtained first place in the contribution points, the player who completed the final ending received an extremely bountiful reward.

The rewards for 3S and A-level endings were definitely worlds apart.

Fang Heng's heart was also itching.

Up till now, he had never heard of anyone who had completed 3S ending missions.

However, the problem now was that both options were 3S, so which one should he choose...

Mo Jiawei's heart was filled with excitement as he asked, "God, then which one should we choose?"

"Is there a need to ask? Of course, we have to choose both!"

Fang Heng had already decided that the player could only complete the ending mission once. Therefore, he would complete one for District 8 and another for District 7!

However, District 8 was still the main area for the time being.

One was to resurrect, and the other was to destroy.

He had to consider the efficiency of completing the missions.

Resurrecting Hila was very dangerous, and in theory, Hila had already lost consciousness, so it was uncertain whether special conditions would be required to resurrect her. In addition, breaking up with the Dark Knights was not part of the plan...

It would be troublesome if they chose to destroy Hila's tissue.

After all, Hila's tissue was immortal. Meteorite Company had been researching for so long, but they still could not think of a way...

As he was thinking, Fang Heng re-examined the game hint.

Seal?!

That's right! He could think of a way to seal it!

Fang Heng immediately thought of Xiao Ruoruo.

In the Nightmare World where she lived, people relied on some kind of power to seal the Nightmare Demon.

"Mo, have you heard of sealing?"

"Er... Seventh Uncle should know a little about this."

Thinking of his strict Seventh Uncle, Mo Jiawei couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"You want to directly seal Hila's tissue sample?"

"Yes."

"It's a bit difficult. Seventh Uncle isn't as easy to talk to as Fourth Uncle." Mo Jiawei thought for a moment, then flipped through the hidden ending explanation and asked, "Also, we have a big problem. How can we find a sample of Hila's tissue?"

"I can sense Sister Hila's location, but if we seal her..." Tang Bai couldn't bear it. He looked at the crowd, "Fang Heng, is there no other way?"

Fang Heng shook his head.

The path to resurrecting Hila was too difficult, and it was filled with too many unknowns.

Time did not permit that.

Tang Bai's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Tang Bai, Hila has already used up her life curse. She has already lost consciousness," Lucia gently persuaded. "Meteorite Company has already been punished. We have chosen to help her rest in peace."

"Yes, I understand."

Tang Bai nodded and did not continue to insist.

Fang Heng thought to himself.

The next step was to collect the remaining 11 tissue samples of Hila and complete the main storyline!

"Tang Bai, where is the nearest location of Hila's tissue?"

Tang Bai closed his eyes and tried to sense it. Then, he opened the map and pointed at a location on the map.

"It's here."

Fang Heng looked at the map. It showed an unexplored area, which the player might not have searched before.

"Hurry up, we're leaving now."

In this world, the Dark Knights already had absolute strength, plus his prison force and zombie team.

If everything went smoothly, if Mo Jiawei could take care of the seal.

Hmm..

Even if Chen Yu was reliable and willing to help him..

Two days!

Two days were enough!

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes, "Let's return to the headquarters immediately. I have to go to the parallel world to bring back some things."

Fusion Tyrant form!

Based on the difficulty of District 7, as long as there was a fusion Tyrant form, it wasn't difficult to gather a tissue sample of Hila!

"Alright, then I'll go find Seventh Uncle and ask him about the seal."

Lucia nodded, "Tang Bai and I will first confirm the remaining 11 specific locations of Sister Rui Qi and plan the route of action."

...

In the middle of the night, Chen Yu received an emergency notice.

The next day, before dawn, he rushed to attend a video conference held by the headquarters of District 8 of the Zombie Apocalypse.

At first, Chen Yu was thinking that ever since Fang Heng went to harm District 7, District 8 had been peaceful for a long time.

This time, he didn't know what kind of trouble he had encountered, so he specially called for an emergency meeting.

Then, after the meeting started, Chen Yu received an unexpected piece of news.

"What? Fang Heng?!"

Fang Heng had returned to District 8?

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 488: Seeking Coperation

Chen Yu's first reaction was that there must be a mistake!

Fang Heng should be fighting with Kou Huai in District 7 right now. In theory, both sides were already in deep water. Why did he suddenly come back to District 8?

After personally seeing the complete report on the main storyline mission of the Dark Knights provided by Xu Bin, Chen Yu was still dumbfounded.

Deputy commander of the Dark Knights?

A special mission related to the main storyline mission?

And the mission was successfully completed? Was it confirmed that Fang Heng had obtained the information on the next main storyline mission?

Chen Yu was completely confused.

At the main video conference venue, the acting chief commander of the Federation's District 8, Han Jiong, had clearly stated the mission target for the next stage.

Restart the main storyline mission and do your best to participate in the main storyline mission!

After the meeting had ended, Chen Yu was still a little confused about the situation.

Just as he walked out of the conference room, two Federation soldiers blocked Chen Yu's path.

"Mr. Chen Yu, Officer Han wants to see you. We will bring you over now."

...

...

Ten minutes later, in the meeting room, Fang Heng met the acting chief commander of District 8, Han Jiong.

Not long ago, the former chief commander of District 8 had been dismissed by the Federation due to his poor performance in dealing with Night Owl's various problems. The temporarily replaced chief commander had just taken office and was seriously ill and unable to work.

As a result, Han Jiong, who had temporarily replaced him, became the acting chief commander of District 8 and temporarily exercised his command authority.

Other than him, more than twenty people in the hall were all high-level commanders of District 8 and commanders of large-sized shelters.

Han Jiong was a young man in his early thirties.

After learning that Fang Heng had returned and that the main storyline of District 8 had been restarted, he immediately summoned the Federation of District 8 to immediately start restarting the main storyline mission plan.

However, when it came to the specific operation, a problem arose.

The higher-ups of District 8 were divided into two factions, and there were some disputes.

One side thought that the Federation should cooperate with Fang Heng now and think of ways to join the main storyline mission to obtain the right to unlock the final game ownership.

The other side thought that there was a high probability that Fang Heng was involved with District 7 and was a troublesome character. It might even be related to Night Owl. It was best to control him, bring him in for investigation, and then think of ways to investigate the main storyline mission on their own.

Before the video of the previous meeting, everyone had been arguing for more than an hour without coming to a conclusion.

The entire meeting room was silent. Everyone's gaze was focused on Chen Yu, which made Chen Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.

He had rarely seen such a scene and was even more nervous at this moment.

"Chen Yu."

Chen Yu suddenly quivered, "Here!"

"I've seen some of your information. You have worked with Fang Heng in the past. Based on your understanding of Fang Heng, what do you think of Fang Heng's attitude towards our Federation? Is it possible for him to cooperate with us?"

Chen Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. "In the past, Fang Heng has always been close to our District 8. I believe that he is willing to work with us."

"Then do you think that Fang Heng can be trusted?" Han Jiong stared at Chen Yu. "District 7 doesn't have a good impression of him. District 7's chief commander, Kou Huai, believes that Fang Heng is the mastermind behind this. What do you think?"

"This..."

Faced with this question, Chen Yu hesitated.

Personally, he felt that there was a high probability that the matter in District 7 was orchestrated by Fang Heng.

In the past, he thought that Night Owl was a terrorist organization, but now...

At least from the situation in District 7, ten Night Owls combined could not compare to Fang Heng's destructive power.

"Sir, I can't confirm this, but I think that Fang Heng is not from the anti-federal organization. District 7 must have made a mistake."

"Yes..."

Han Jiong nodded and continued to ask, "Chen Yu, if I let you communicate with Fang Heng and convince Fang Heng to let us join the main storyline mission, how confident do you think you are?"

Chen Yu frowned.

Convince Fang Heng to join the shared main storyline mission?

It would be very difficult!

"I can give it a try. I'll definitely do my best!"

"Alright, I'll authorize you to carry out this mission. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes!"

Han Jiong looked at Chen Yu. "You can make the call now."

Now?

Chen Yu was stunned.

He realized that everyone was waiting for him to make the call.

Chen Yu smiled bitterly, took out his mobile phone and turned it on.

He did have Fang Heng's number, but in most cases, Fang Heng would not pick up the phone.

"Sir, I'll try, but he may still be in the game, so he can't pick up the phone."

As Chen Yu spoke, he dialed Fang Heng's number.

After three busy tones, the phone was picked up.

Chen Yu heard a familiar voice.

"Yo? Chen Yu, long time no see!"

He picked up the call!

Fang Heng actually picked up the call!

Initially, he only wanted to give it a try. He did not expect Fang Heng to really pick up the call!

In the meeting room, many of the Federation's higher-ups were discussing in low voices.

"Quiet!"

Han Jiong signaled for everyone in the office to quiet down. He turned his head to look at Chen Yu and immediately said, "Put him on speakerphone, pick up!"

Chen Yu's heart pounded wildly. He thought to himself, "Fang Heng hasn't answered the phone for tens of thousands of years. Why is he picking up the phone at this time?"

Please don't mess around!

Chen Yu took a deep breath and steadied his mind. "Hello? Fang Heng?"

"Hey, Chen Yu, I have good news for you. I'm back in District 8. I was looking for you. Are you free today? Come to the prison to play. How about I treat you to some barbecue?"

Barbecued meat?

Chen Yu recalled the time when he had barbecued meat with Fang Heng and the others in the prison not long ago. For a moment, he was stunned.

On the side, a Federation soldier nudged him gently.

Chen Yu quickly came back to his senses and said, "Sure, barbecued meat. When?"

"Anytime is fine. It's up to you. After all, I have something to ask you for help." Fang Heng's giggling voice came from the other end of the phone. "I remember someone said that as long as I return to District 8, he will take care of me."

Hearing this, Chen Yu was so flustered that cold sweat was about to break out. He saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the meeting room.

This Big Brother who caused trouble wherever he went...

How could I, Chen Yu, have the ability to protect you!

"Cough cough, Fang Heng, let's be serious..."

"Hahaha, Chen Yu, I'm just joking. After all, I'm not a bad person. Why have you become more timid recently?"

On the phone, Fang Heng's tone was unusually relaxed, "I'm a law-abiding citizen of the Federation. Look, I was kidnapped some time ago. Once I escaped, I immediately cut off contact with District 7 and immediately came back to District 8. I completely cut off all contact with District 7."

"Actually, the reason why I am inviting you to have a barbecue with me is that there's something I need to consult with you."

"I heard that Night Owl seems to have done a lot of bad things in District 7 in my name. I don't know anything about it. Will the Federation arrest me?"

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Chen Yu heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Even though he did not believe a single word Fang Heng said.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 489: Sharing?

"Uh, it might be a little troublesome. The specifics will depend on the situation. Fang Heng, you have to believe us. The Federation will not malign good people."

"Alright, let's meet at night to talk about the specifics."

"Wait." Chen Yu stopped Fang Heng and his gaze swept across everyone in the meeting room. He said seriously, "Cough cough, Fang Heng, actually the Federation wants to ask you for a favor."

"Oh... your tone is so serious. What is it?"

"I heard that you triggered the main storyline mission in District 8 last night. The Federation also wants to join..."

After saying this, the other end of the phone went silent.

Chen Yu felt that it was very difficult to say this.

If it was the Federation themselves, they would definitely not share the main storyline with Fang Heng.

"I thought it was something major. Since you've already said it, it's fine. After all, it's also a great thing to help stabilize District 8. I understand."

Hearing the reply from the loudspeaker, everyone in the room was stunned.

Agreed?!

Fang Heng actually agreed!

Just a moment ago, the various upper echelons of District 8 were discussing Fang Heng's attitude towards the Federation. Now that they heard that he had agreed to share the main storyline mission, most of their worries about Fang Heng were immediately dispelled.

...

Everyone in the meeting room was excited and couldn't help but start discussing in low voices.

Chen Yu was also stunned when he heard that. Then, his heart was completely at ease.

He knew it!

He had worked with Fang Heng for so long before. He knew that Fang Heng was a law-abiding citizen who understood the big picture!

He was willing to sacrifice himself to cooperate with the Federation and even share the main storyline mission.

How could such a person be a terrorist like Night Owl!

It must be the work of those idiots in District 7, forcing a person to go against the Federation!

The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the chief commander of District 7, Kou Huai. He was a complete idiot!

"What's the situation? It seems a little noisy over there?"

"It's nothing. I was just in the middle of a video conference. The leader was giving a speech, and everyone had some insights."

"Oh, oh, oh." Fang Heng continued, "However, I still have two requests regarding cooperation."

"Tell me, I'll try my best to negotiate with the leader and try my best to satisfy your request."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. The first point, recently, the Night Owl organization used my name to cause some trouble in District 7. I think you should think of a way to prove my innocence. There are also rumors that I'm related to the anti-federal organization. I think you should help me clear my name."

Chen Yu raised his head and looked at Han Jiong.

Han Jiong immediately nodded.

"It's not a big problem. District 8 will give you a certificate that proves that during this period, you are participating in the secret-related main storyline mission in District 8. You are suspected of being kidnapped by the Night Owl organization and have nothing to do with the recent series of events in District 7."

"Hey, thanks. The second point, at this stage for the main storyline mission, I need to gather some mission items. I will provide the coordinates. If you help me find them, you can also earn a large amount of main storyline contribution points. However, my request is that you must give me the items that you have gathered and let me trigger the next stage of the mission."

Chen Yu looked at Han Jiong again.

This time, Han Jiong hesitated for a moment.

He nodded again.

"Sure, I'll think of a way to talk to the leader about the cooperation. I think it won't be a big problem."

"Okay." Fang Heng chuckled. "Then let's talk tonight?"

"We will set 'tonight' aside. I'll go and report to the leader. I'll inform you immediately if there's any news."

"Alright, I'll wait for your good news!"

After hanging up the phone, the entire meeting room was in a heated discussion.

It was a success!

The cooperation was a success!

They could start the main storyline mission from Fang Heng so quickly!

Fang Heng's attitude was very cooperative. The requirements he put forward were not harsh either. This was much simpler than they had expected!

"Alright everyone, the things that happened today must be kept a secret from the public."

Han Jiong looked around at everyone present and warned, "I don't want Night Owl's people to get this news."

"Chen Yu, I'll leave this matter to you. We'll try our best to fulfill Fang Heng's request. My request is to join the main storyline mission and think of a way to obtain the main storyline contribution points and join the final competition for the world belonging to District 8."

"Report to me as soon as you have any news."

"Yes!"

Inside the villa, Fang Heng hung up the phone in satisfaction.

Mo Jiawei heard a small part of Fang Heng's conversation from the side and was dumbfounded. "What's going on? God, are you crazy? Do you want to form an alliance with the Federation? Share the main storyline with the enemy?"

"Sigh, the situation is too small for Old Mr. Mo. How can there be eternal enemies? We're just taking what we need."

"We are talking about the Federation! We can't trust them so easily!"

"I know what you mean, but I have a plan."

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had long realized that something was wrong when Chen Yu called.

There should be someone by Chen Yu's side.

Fang Heng was not sure if the Federation wanted to cooperate or if they would play dirty tricks like District 7.

No matter what, he had already made full preparations.

To be more precise, Fang Heng was now waiting for the Federation to play dirty tricks.

Fang Heng continued, "Don't worry about this for now. Where's the seal? How's the matter with the seal?"

"Uh..." Recalling the scene when he called his seventh uncle for advice not long ago, Mo Jiawei couldn't help but smile wryly, "I've asked my seventh uncle. In his words, the sealing technique is unrivaled in the world. For just a lousy specimen, it can be easily sealed. If you want to learn it, just go and look for him."

"You have to learn it yourself? Isn't it just like in the anime, get a cooking pot and put on a cover?"

Mo Jiawei was at a loss. "Huh? Cooking pot? Which movie?"

Fang Heng felt that he had misunderstood. Previously, he had thought that he could easily seal Hila's tissue sample with the help of props from the real world. Now, it seemed that it was not that simple.

Now, the Dark Knights and the Federation were helping to find the metal box that was hidden by the Meteorite Company. It was just the right time for him to think of a way to solve the problem of the seal.

"Alright, where is your seventh uncle? Let's go and meet him."

"He's in the gym. I've already called for a car. He'll be waiting at the entrance."

...

On the third floor of the gym.

Every Saturday and Sunday, Mo Jianghe would be here to facilitate the teaching of the seal.

During the lesson, the back door of the classroom was opened.

Mo Jiawei lowered his head and bent over, pulling Fang Heng to sit in a corner on the side.

On the main podium was Mo Jianghe. Mo Jiawei's seventh uncle looked somewhat similar to Mo Jiawei.

Fang Heng sat cross-legged and looked around.

There were not many students in the room, only a dozen or so. The age difference was huge. The youngest was only in his early twenties, and the oldest looked to be almost a hundred years old.

In front of them, Mo Jianghe's main podium was hung with majestic calligraphy. The words written on it were even more domineering.

"The art of sealing is invincible in the world!"

"I have a brother who talks about being invincible all the time. He says that there is nothing that cannot be broken by a single slash."

A mocking smile appeared on Mo Jianghe's lips, he continued, "It sounds very powerful, right? But if you think about it carefully, so what if it is broken by a single slash? There are some things that can be endlessly resurrected even if they are broken ten thousand times."

"The sealing technique is different. People, ghosts, aliens, demons, nightmares, creatures, spirits, anything tangible or intangible, will, thought, spirit, life force, and everything else can be sealed."

"We have already learned the sealing technique for several years, and it is not a short time. Today, we will try to seal something of a higher level, fear!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 490: Learning

"Sealing fear has its pros and cons."

"There are many pros. For example, it will allow us to block the negative effects when we see a terrifying scene, maintain our calm at all times, and even be immune to the negative spirit effects brought about by the 'fear' skill. As for the cons, it will make us dull and insensitive, and we will lose part of our perception of the danger that occurs."

"To be able to seal and unseal our own fear and control our own fear as we wish, this is the purpose of our study."

After the lecture, while the students were beginning to make arrangements and carry out practical operations, Mo Jiawei led Fang Heng to the front of the lecture table.

Mo Jiawei took out a bottle of wine from his backpack and handed it to Mo Jianghe.

"Seventh Uncle, look what I brought."

Mo Jianghe's eyes lit up. He stretched out his hand and put the "God's intoxication" into his bag. "'God's intoxication?' From the King of Gods' game?"

"Hehe, I specially brought it to show my respect to Seventh Uncle."

"Hmph, not bad. You're a little more sensible." Mo Jianghe nodded in satisfaction and looked at Fang Heng. "This is your friend."

Fang Heng cupped his fists at Mo Jianghe. "Hello, Seventh Uncle. I'm Fang Heng."

"Mmm, I heard Jia Wei say that you want to learn seals, right? Good choice!"

Mo Jianghe praised and pointed at the banner on his finger. "See? After learning it, you'll be invincible."

Invincible...

...

Fang Heng felt that Mo Jianghe was bragging a little.

However, it was just a matter of fact. Regarding the sealing of fear that Mo Jianghe mentioned just now, Fang Heng felt that it was very awesome.

"Okay, since you want to learn it, I'll explain it in detail."

"There are three entry requirements to learn the basic seal. First, intelligence points, second, mental strength, and third, vitality," Mo Jianghe said as his gaze swept across Fang Heng's face, "Other than that, the sealing technique burns a hole in your pocket. Don't learn it if you don't have the money."

"How is it? Is it very difficult? In addition, talent is also extremely important. When we started enrolling students until now, only one or two people in a year were able to truly pass the entry level and enter the novice stage. You have to consider it carefully."

Fang Heng nodded. "Seventh Uncle, I've thought about it. I want to learn it."

"Regardless of it being expensive and difficult, after learning it, the sealing technique will be invincible in the world." Mo Jianghe pointed at the people sitting down, "Any of these people were to stand out, they will be the experts of the various major factions in the mid-and advanced game. They will be the mainstay of the large-scale gaming union."

"That white-clothed vice president of Qinghe Guild, the overlord of an area in the advanced game, that old man monopolizes the entire sealing business in District 3. That pockmarked face in the corner, don't look at him just because he has been hiding in the corner. He is the minister of the assassination department in the Federation's advanced game. Countless people have died at his hands..."

Although Fang Heng didn't know him, he was a little surprised when he heard about it.

A glimpse of a spot and see the whole leopard.

The strength of the Mo Family in the game wasn't just a base or a gaming union on the surface. They had infiltrated every corner of the game in a different way.

Even Mo Jiawei felt his blood boil when he heard those few words. It was as if he could soar to the sky after learning it.

Mo Jiawei swallowed his saliva and asked, "Seventh Uncle, do you think it's still too late for me to learn the seal now?"

"Forget it. If you don't have the willpower, it would be a waste for you to learn it."

"No, I can do it. I'll bring you more wine tomorrow."

"That's fine too."

Mo Jianghe was happy and agreed immediately.

As he spoke, two pieces of paper the size of a palm appeared in his hand and he handed them to Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei.

"Here, take this."

Fang Heng stretched out his hand.

The moment he touched the paper, a line of game hints appeared in his vision.

[Hint: Player has obtained a special item-Spirit of Seal.]

Item: Spirit of Seal.

Hint: After binding, you can learn basic sealing techniques.

[Hint: Player's basic intelligence points exceed 10 points, and his basic will exceeds 10 points. If you meet the requirements, you can learn skill-basic sealing techniques.]

[Hint: Player needs to consume 100 King of Gods' points to learn. Do you want to consume them?]

King of Gods' points...

Fang Heng thought for a moment and chose yes.

The piece of paper melted into Fang Heng's hand and slowly flowed into the mark on the back of Fang Heng's hand.

Mo Jianghe noticed the change in the piece of paper and narrowed his eyes.

Mo Jiawei, on the other hand, was different. The piece of paper burned up in his hand.

Similarly, both of them fell into a dazed state at the same time. Two burning flames reflected in their pupils.

Mo Jianghe could clearly see that the color of the flames in his eyes represented the player's fire of origin.

To a certain extent, the fire of origin also represented the player's talent in sealing techniques.

From the color, Mo Jiawei's talent was normal, while Fang Heng's talent was extremely weak.

This meant that the two of them would not be able to develop their sealing techniques in the long run.

After a while, Fang Heng was the first to wake up.

He felt like a long time had passed just now. A large number of miscellaneous memories were imprinted in the depths of his mind. It was extremely clear, and he could easily find relevant information with just a thought.

At the same time, a line of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Player has acquired skill-basic sealing technique.]

[Hint: Initial talent strength of your seal technique: 23.1 (extremely weak).]

[Hint: You are not suitable to cultivate the sealing technique. It is recommended that you choose another method to cultivate it.]

Skill: Basic seal (Level 1).

Skill description: This skill can be upgraded to Level 10 at the most. After you reach level 10, you can try to advance your skill.

Skill description: Seal an item into a specially made card, sealing probability, sealing success rate, and effect duration are related to the player's skill level, current status, current basic attribute and so on. (Your current level cannot perform permanent seals.)

Fang Heng looked at the game hint and fused the information flow into his brain.

So that was it. This was the sealing technique.

From the point of view of the sealing technique, anything could be sealed.

So...

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat as he realized that something was wrong.

According to the theory of the sealing technique, his zombie clone could also be sealed!

Normal seals were fine, but special seals, such as permanently sealing a zombie in a card...

Therefore, to him, the zombie clone was sealed instead of dead, which meant that it couldn't be resurrected.

The solution was...

His zombies need to become stronger.

The stronger the creature, the more difficult it was to seal.

Fang Heng felt that he had encountered a difficult problem.

Fortunately, at this stage, he wouldn't be able to meet high-level players like the sealer in the low-tier game.

"The new students in Room 2325 next door are all new students who have just entered the school for less than ten years. Go and learn from them. Teacher Cheng will tell you how to do it."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Fang Heng nodded and left the room with Mo Jiawei who had just woken up.

Chapter 491: Talent

After watching Fang Heng and Mo Jiangwei leave, Mo Jianghe gulped down a mouthful of wine.

It was difficult to learn the art of sealing, and it was even harder to master it!

In addition to outstanding talent, it also required constant practice.

Once the talent was mediocre, the achievements were bound to be limited.

In the face of talent, it was hard to find even one person out of a million who could make up for the lack of talent with diligence.

He had seen many people who had a brief period of enthusiasm.

Especially that brat Mo Jiawei!

...

Next door, Room 2235.

There were more than thirty players scattered in the room.

The players here were all much younger.

Fang Heng was still secretly shocked by what he saw.

Each of these people had spent at least 100 King of Gods' points to learn the sealing technique.

...

It seemed that in the advanced game world, the method for players to obtain King of Gods' points was not as difficult as he had imagined.

Mo Jiawei exchanged a few words with Teacher Cheng, then returned to Fang Heng's side with two wooden cups and some casting materials.

The most basic sealing technique was relatively simple.

Using a special mix of casting ink, a simple sealing rune was carved on a piece of paper.

After the rune was carved, it would be effective for a few minutes. The person who sealed it would need to use the rune to seal the object.

Mo Jiawei looked around curiously. He noticed that a student was sitting on a futon beside him in a daze, so he patted him.

"Brother, how long have you been here?"

That student looked at Mo Jiawei and sighed. "More than three years."

"So long?"

Mo Jiawei was a little surprised.

"Three years is nothing. I'm considered young here. Most of the people here have practiced for more than five years."

"Ah?"

"What's so good about it? Talent is limited. For those of us with talent ratings below excellent, we can only slowly get through it. It's still considered good here. As long as we pay the money, we can study for 10 years."

"Oh?" Mo Jiawei answered casually, "I just came here. How should I learn it?"

"It's quite simple." The student pointed at the bottle on the low table in front of him, "After learning the basic sealing technique, you can try to seal this bottle into the card. Every time the seal is successful, you will gain some experience points for the sealing technique. When you reach Level 10 for the sealing technique, you will have completed it."

"Is it very difficult?"

The student looked at Mo Jiawei up and down, "That depends on the person."

"Eh, I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me?"

The student sighed, he said, "To put it bluntly, it has something to do with talent. The stronger the talent, the higher the success rate of completing the seal and the more experience points you get after successfully sealing. The gap in talent would become more obvious. What's your talent again?"

"Talent score: 55 points. Normal."

"That's all? With your talent, no matter how hard you try, you'll need at least 20 to 30 years to get started."

"Ah? It can't be that bad, right?" Mo Jiawei rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands and said unwillingly, "Let me give it a try."

The rune of the most basic seal was also very simple. Mo Jiawei bit his finger and gently dipped it in the special casting ink in the bowl. With a stroke, he drew a clear sealing rune on the paper.

"Pa!"

The rune paper was stuck on the bottle.

A faint light flashed.

The bottle disappeared and a cup appeared on the pattern on the card.

"Haha! It worked!"

"What the f*ck? This works?"

That student was also shocked and he looked at Mo Jiawei with a strange expression.

This kid's luck was too good!

With a talent rating of 55, theoretically, the success rate was around 1%.

He actually succeeded on the first try?

"Pu!"

Mo Jiawei had just picked up the sealing paper. Before he had the time to examine it carefully, the card in his hand exploded with a "Pu" sound.

The wooden cup that fell from the air was steadily caught by the student. "Your luck seems to be pretty good. Take your time to learn it. The sealing technique is different from other things. The requirement to advance is very troublesome. You need to be patient."

Mo Jiawei looked back at Fang Heng with a bitter face.

"Let me give it a try."

Fang Heng imitated Mo Jiawei. He bit his finger and quickly dipped it in some ink. He quickly wrote a rune and stuck it to the cup.

"Pa!"

The cup remained where it was.

A game hint quickly swept across his vision.

[Hint: Judgement failed. Player's seal was incomplete.]

"Tsk, failed."

Judging from the sealing technique information that poured into his mind, biting his finger and using his own blood could slightly increase the probability of completing the seal.

It did not seem to be of much use.

Every production probably required mental strength and vitality, and even some HP.

Fang Heng lowered his head and calculated.

This way, he would have room for manoeuvre.

Fang Heng thought of the zombie clone in the game world.

His talent was limited?

It didn't matter, he could make up for it with hard work!

Thinking of this, Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei's shoulder and said, "Old Mr. Mo, don't waste time. Let's go back to the game first. We still have a lot of things to deal with."

After saying that, Fang Heng put down the wooden cup in his hand and walked to Teacher Cheng who was standing at the edge of the podium.

"Hello, Teacher Cheng, sorry to trouble you. May I bring some of the rune paper and the casting materials needed to make medicinal ingredients back for practice?"

Teacher Cheng glanced at the young master of North River Heavy Industry behind Fang Heng. He nodded and said, "Yes, you can. Normal paper will do. As for the casting materials, they have a limited shelf life and need to be used as soon as possible. By the way, how much do you want? I'll register it."

"Um..." Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then exchanged a look with Mo Jiawei. "Let's take five tons first."

Teacher Cheng raised his head in surprise. "Huh? What did you say?"

...

District 8.

Late at night.

The ground was full of coal.

At first, Fang Heng used a glass cup.

Later, Fang Heng found that the glass cup was too fragile and the entire storage room was filled with the sound of glass breaking, so he changed it to coal ore.

[Hint: Your zombie clone failed to seal the coal ore.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone failed to seal the coal ore...]

He waited for a full eight minutes!

The twenty zombie clones stuck seven rounds of seals. Finally, a hint appeared in front of Fang Heng.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has completed the seal on the coal ore. You have gained 0.001 experience points for basic sealing techniques.]

Only 0.001 experience points?

"Isn't this a little too much..."

While he was muttering to himself, a line of game hints refreshed once again.

[Hint: Player has completed the sealing technique for the first time.]

[Hint: Player's skill-occult ritual (binding soul seal) has activated a new special ability.]

"Eh?"

Fang Heng let out a soft "eh" sound. He could not help but reach out his hand and look at the mark on the back of his hand before opening the skill description.

Skill-occult ritual (binding soul seal).

Level: Tier 1.

Skill description 1: After mastering this skill, you can synchronize your basic attribute skill into the game world. Current synchronization rate: 100%.

Skill description 2: You can directly enter the game through the ritual seal.

Skill description 3: Skill-low-efficiency energy storage.

Special ability 1 (Main World): Outside of the game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special ability 2 (Vampire Apocalypse): You will not be affected by the distortion of the Vampire Apocalypse game world. In the Vampire Apocalypse game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special ability 3 (Zombie Apocalypse): You will not be affected by the distortion of the Zombie Apocalypse game world. In the Zombie Apocalypse game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special ability 4 (Nightmare Hell): You will not be affected by the distortion of the Nightmare Hell game world. In the Nightmare Hell game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes and your sealing talent will receive an extremely weak increase.

Fang Heng was stunned.

Special ability 4 was a new ability! It did not appear before!

It was triggered after he completed the seal!

It was slightly different from the previous few skills, skill 4 had an additional talent upgrade?

As he was thinking, a game hint appeared in Fang Heng's vision.

[Hint: You have completed the sealing technique. Through skill-occult ritual, your sealing technique talent has increased by 0.001.]
