Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

by Stayrr

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

Chapter 791 Mantra

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A large number of holy winged bone bats charged toward Prince Carl!

The beams of Holy Light exploded before they could even touch Carl.

It was ineffective!

The attacks of the holy winged bone bats could not hurt Carl!

Fang Heng held the Holy Court's weapon, the holy spear, with both hands.

He activated his mental strength and the light of the spear exploded!

The surrounding holy winged bone bats all gathered towards the spear and fused with it. The body of the spear rapidly expanded!

"Chi!!"

Fang Heng used his last bit of strength and aimed the spear at Carl, who had turned into a blood shadow.

Attack!

The spear, which had gathered a powerful Holy Light strength, was thrown at Carl in midair.

w

Carl, who was charging at Fang Heng, frowned.

He realized that Fang Heng's attack was different from the past. Therefore, he hovered in midair and placed his hands in front of his chest.

A blood-red screen of light condensed in front of him.

"Ka!"

The spear struck the light screen.

Carl was taken aback. He was somewhat surprised by the strength contained in the spear.

"D*mn the Holy Court."

Carl said hatefully with a cruel expression. He gritted his teeth and forcefully activated his bloodline power once again.

"Boom!!!"

Under Fang Heng's astonished gaze, the Holy Court's weapon, the holy spear, could not withstand the two powerful forces and exploded in front of him!

(Hint: Your weapon has been destroyed.]

(Hint: Your skill, the Everlasting Moon, has been released completely.]

(Hint: You have exited the reincarnation state.]

(Hint: You have entered a state of mental strength exhaustion.]

Under the impact of the explosion, Carl flew back a few meters and quickly stabilized his body.

"You are pretty good to be able to hurt me."

Carl looked down at Fang Heng, who was already exhausted.

"Eh?"

Carl let out a soft sound.

What was that?!

Fang Heng's eyes were slightly closed, and a spiraling magic array appeared under his feet.

Beams of Holy Light rose from the magic array and quickly enveloped Fang Heng's entire body!

Carl realized that the situation was not right. He extended his hand and pointed at Fang Heng from a distance.

"Pu!"

Fang Heng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly felt the blood in his body being crazily mobilized. A wave of warm blood surged up and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The skin on his body was rotting at an extremely fast speed. Blood continuously flowed out from his body and seeped out from his facial features.

A game hint appeared on his retina once again.

(Hint: You have received Carl's blood curse. Under the current curse state, all attributes are reduced by 10%.]

(Hint: Affected by the curse effect, your HP was reduced by 2,891.]

Carl was stunned. He had not expected Fang Heng to be able to resist the curse for so long.

"You're dead!"

Facing the Prince of vampires who was chasing after him again, Fang Heng half-opened his eyes and laughed coldly, "Ha, that might not be true."

"Xiu!!"

In the next moment, the golden magic array spun faster and the golden Holy Light screen surrounded Fang Heng.

"Carl, I will remember you, I will…"

Carl could not hear what Fang Heng was saying. Fang Heng was surrounded by the Holy Light screen.

"Arrogant!"

Carl expected that Fang Heng would not say anything nice. He reached out his hand again and was about to cast a spell at the light screen.

Eh??

Boom!!!

The light screen exploded before his eyes!

The aura of the Holy Light that exploded was not strong, but…

Prince Carl's frowned.

Where was he?

The holy aura of the explosion spread out, and even Fang Heng's entire body disappeared.

He could not feel any aura from him!

It was as if he had never appeared.

Standing on the spot, Carl tried to search for Fang Heng's location again, feeling extremely suspicious.

Even though he could sense it through the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires, strangely he could not detect him.

After a while, the arbitration elder Abel brought a large number of vampires to the location of the battle.

Looking at Carl who remained on the spot, Lin Nuo was very confused.

Where's Fang Shuo?

Why couldn't they see him?

Was he killed?

The successive explosions had blocked everyone's vision. They could not see clearly and did not know what exactly happened.

Lin Nuo looked around. He did not dare to speak in front of the Prince with a strange temper.

Prince Carl floated in mid-air and remained silent.

It was too strange!

It was still possible that Fang Heng's aura could not be sensed, but even the aura of the vampires' headdress was hidden?!

It was as if the other party had completely disappeared!

What kind of strength was this?

Being played by such a young blood descendant, Carl's anger could not help but surge.

Seeing Carl remain silent, Lin Nuo said, "Your Highness, we…"

"He was cursed by me. He's already a dead

man."

Carl turned to look at the arbitration elder Abel, "What exactly happened? Abel?"

were

"Yes, Your Highness." Abel said in a deep voice, "Many things happened while you were sleeping. That person may have come from another world…"

"Phew!"

Fang Heng exited the game and came to the tent in the fallen corridor. He was breathing heavily.

His current appearance was extremely frightening!

Almost every inch of his skin was constantly festering, and pus and blood were flowing out from the wounds.

The powerful Prince of vampires!

He had already used all his trump cards in this wave. However, the difference in strength between the two sides was still huge. To buy time for his teammates to escape, he had even lost the Holy Court's weapon!

The difference in strength between the two sides was too big. It was difficult to make up for it with just equipment.

This wave was still a little reckless.

But then again, the holy weapon of the Holy Court was f*cking rubbish!

No wonder the Holy Court was too lazy to collect it themselves.

Fortunately, his luck was quite good in this wave. The holy weapon that belonged to the Prince of the vampires had been obtained and he had accomplished his goal.

The reward was huge!

Fang Heng was thinking about it when he suddenly frowned.

A sharp pain hit him, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of dark red blood on the ground.

Even after exiting the game, the negative effect of the cursed state left by the Prince of the vampires was still retained on his body.

The curse continued to inflict damage and the effect of the undying body was frantically repairing the damaged body.

Troublesome!

The damage of the curse was different, and this kind of effect on his body was most probably the magic effect.

Would he eventually be cursed to death?

The Prince of vampires was a dog!

Fang Heng gritted his teeth and quickly grabbed the three purification necklaces on the table to hang around his neck. He took out the Book of Creation. "Evolution!"

A weak Holy Light flashed and disappeared.

The black aura on his body was expelled a little.

It was effective!

He felt that after the purification spell was cast, the destructive effect of the curse on his body had weakened slightly.

Fang Heng immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Forcefully enduring the negative effects of the curse, he put on the purification set piece by piece and began to continuously cast the purification spell.

Fortunately, the Necromancer Association's set was very powerful, and the purification spell's effect had been raised by countless tiers.

The purification spell of the final version of the boosted equipment could already slightly weaken the curse's strength.

Relying on the healing ability of the undying body to survive, once the cooldown time was up, Fang Heng kept casting purification spells to reduce the strength of the curse.

After casting purification spells for more than half an hour, the curse status on his body completely disappeared.

In the end, Fang Heng threw a few more purification spells to clean up the blood stains around him and complete the cleaning of the

scene.

Chapter 792: Headdress

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Hu!!!"

It was as if he was a thief.

Fang Heng let out a heavy breath and sat on the ground. He began to check the rewards of this operation.

Unknown stone slab 1, strange realm level mission 1, Book of Enoch first edition 1.

Ah!

The most important thing was the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of vampires-the blood headdress!

It was in his hand!

The Thirteen Holy Artifacts of vampires were the most difficult to obtain.

Fang Heng opened the mission panel to check the attributes of the blood headdress.

[Item-Blood headdress.]

[Hint: Player's bloodline has been determined successfully. Player is equipped with the holy weapon of vampires-blood headdress (inferior), attribute activated.]

Item: Holy weapon of vampires-blood headdress (inferior).

Description: special item, soul binding, occupies the special backpack slot, cannot be discarded and will definitely drop after death.

Description: The Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires. It is rumored that it possesses great strength. It will be effective immediately when placed into the backpack. Increases basic agility 1, basic strength 1, basic vitality 1, blood affinity 3.

Description: The Prince of the vampires, Carl, has set up a special restriction on the headdress. If you are in the same world as Carl, Carl will sense the location of the blood headdress every 30 seconds.

Additional skill: Blood shadow combo slash.

Description: Activates the blood shadow state. Every time you engage in close combat, the blood shadow will trigger an additional attack of the same intensity, 1/13 of the original attack.

Skill cost: 1 point of mental strength per second.

Description: The Thirteen Holy Artifacts are rumored to contain a huge secret about vampires. If you obtain more combinations of the holy weapons of the vampires, you will obtain additional effects.

[Hint: You have obtained twelve holy weapon sets from the vampires. You have activated the special effect of the holy weapon of the vampires-Blessing of the Blood.]

Fang Heng read through the description of the skill.

Additional damage?

It seemed to be quite powerful.

The skill consumption was very low. Including the automatic recovery of mental strength, it could last for more than an hour without using any other skills.

However, it seemed that the damage value was also low.

Fang Heng pondered over the actual effect of the skills.

Forget it, he would ignore it for now. He would find an opportunity to test it out later.

Fang Heng didn't mind too much and stuffed the headdress back into his backpack.

Now, he had gathered all 12 holy weapons of vampires.

There was only one left!

The blood left eye.

It wasn't difficult to get it. In theory, he only needed to kill a Marquis-tier vampire.

The problem was that because the holy weapon of the vampires was locked onto by the Prince of the vampires, Fang Heng did not dare to go to District 9 again.

The difference in strength between him and the Prince of the vampires was obvious. It was too risky to go to District 9 again.

He was not afraid. If he stayed out of trouble for a while longer, he believed that he would soon be able to crush them.

There was no need to go to District 9 to fight them head-on.

Therefore, to find the last missing holy weapon of the vampires, the blood left eye, he had to start somewhere else.

For example, the world of the vampires in other districts.

To run to other districts, he had to find a way to level up the space tearing device.

For the next phase, the space tearing device needed to fuse with the high energy evolution crystal.

He made a lot of money this time round in the Vampire Apocalypse District 9 and had already gathered more than ten high energy evolution crystals exclusive to the world of the vampires. There were only two high energy evolution crystals from the Zombie Apocalypse at this stage, and he still required one more.

It was not difficult. After that, he could directly go to District 7 and start a Blood Moon. Killing the Blood Moon's corpse king would also allow him to quickly gather the crystals.

The only thing left was the high energy evolution crystal exclusive to the Wasteland region.

So, he still had to go to the Wasteland Apocalypse?

Fang Heng scratched his head.

Alright, let's go then.

For a character to level up to Level 22 required semi-fusion crystals from the various worlds. Fang Heng estimated that after leveling up to a certain level, it might require the complete fusion evolution crystals from the three elementary game worlds.

It was better to be prepared.

The fastest and most direct way to increase a character's strength was to increase a character's level.

Every time a character leveled up, not only would he receive a large number of additional zombie clones, but the attribute bonus from his skills would also be huge.

Fang Heng was thinking to himself.

The Wasteland Apocalypse was the weakest of the three worlds. In theory, his current strength could crush it.

It wasn't a big problem.

He would go and come back in a jiffy.

After learning a lesson from the Vampire Apocalypse in District 9, Fang Heng was prepared to make a plan before taking action.

He would let Mo Jiawei think of a way to gather some information first. Then, he would directly kill his way over. After farming a wave of evolution crystals, he would leave.

It should be much easier than the Vampire Apocalypse.

Fang Heng thought for a while and came up with a rough plan. Then, he threw a purification spell on his head.

What would be triggered after collecting all the Thirteen Holy Artifacts?

What were the secrets of the vampires?

There were also the strange realm mission and the stone slab that he obtained. He had never heard of them before.

Fang Heng was looking forward to it even more.

In short… before that, he had to take a few more risks and return to the game. He had to think of a way to escape from the hands of the vampires of District 9 and return to the headquarters in the Zombie Apocalypse.

…

The Elders Council of the vampires.

Silence.

For the vampires, the attack on the headquarters of the Holy Court was a bloody loss.

The Land of Hibernation in the Elders Council and the Temple of the Elders were attacked at the same time. A large number of holy weapons of the vampires were lost. Even the holy weapon of the vampires that belonged to the Prince of the vampires was lost!

The headquarters of the Holy Court was completely wiped out, but the bishop of the Holy Court was found to have escaped from the headquarters in advance.

There was only one piece of news that was still acceptable.

Through this massacre, the blood essence had successfully condensed, and they could now try to wake up the sleeping Angetas.

But…

The first edition of the Book of Enoch had been stolen!

Without the Book of Enoch, using a copy of the Book of Enoch as a replacement in the ritual would reduce the success rate to an extremely low level, and it would be very easy to fail.

Prince Carl flew into the council chamber of the Elders Council.

All the vampires knelt down and bowed, "Your Highness."

"Mm."

Carl grunted softly, feeling extremely unhappy.

Every time he sensed the appearance of the holy weapon-the headdress, he would immediately chase after it, trying to find the other party.

But every time he was about to catch up, the other party's aura would quickly disappear without a trace.

After being played a few times, he completely lost track of the headdress.

Carl was especially furious.

He did not expect that that vampire could actually undo the curse he had planted!

And because he was suddenly interrupted from his hibernation, the curse on his body became increasingly uncontrollable.

He needed to think of a way to enter hibernation mode again as soon as possible to alleviate the curse.

In the player group, Lin Nuo lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

This time, the twelve corporations also suffered a huge blow.

However, to them, the Holy Court and the other factions did not gain many benefits.

It could only be considered a battle without a winner.

"Your Highness, may I ask if Fang Shuo…"

"Don't bother about him. He won't dare to go near the Elders Council anymore."

Hearing this, all the vampires looked at each other carefully.

That day in the Elders Council of vampires, many people saw Fang Shuo's strength with their own eyes. They also confirmed that it was Fang Shuo who killed the Duke of vampires, Stuart.

What a terrifying strength.

Even the Prince couldn't do anything to him.

Carl realized that his curse was spreading faster. He said in a deep voice, "Recover the Land of Hibernation as soon as possible. I need to hibernate."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yates, the arbitration elder, nodded and said, "Your Highness, there is one more thing. We have received the latest video message from the blood realm just now."

Chapter 793: A Vacation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the same time, Fang Heng had just returned to District 8's prison after narrowly escaping from death.

It was a disastrous situation.

Every time he went online, the Prince of vampires, Carl, would chase after him relentlessly.

This was completely unreasonable!

It was as if there was a great feud between the two of them and no matter how they fought, they could not defeat each other.

Fang Heng could only run as fast as he could, using all sorts of skills and methods. Relying on his special ability to constantly enter and exit the game, he finally spent an additional King of Gods' points to re-bind the passage's location before exiting District 9 and preserving his life.

Before his strength underwent another qualitative change, Fang Heng did not plan to return to District 9 again.

In the prison's temporary teleportation hall, Fang Heng began to count his gains and losses.

He had acquired a large number of evolution crystals from the world of the vampires!

He also acquired Angetas' resurrection method, the twelve holy weapons of the vampires and the high energy evolution crystal of the world of the vampires!

Taking a breather, Fang Heng got ready to go to Wasteland Apocalypse once more to obtain some high energy evolution crystals to complete the next step of upgrading the space tearing device.

He was prepared to end the battle as soon as possible.

After all, out of the three elementary games, the Wasteland Apocalypse's peak combat strength was the weakest.

Last time in District 7 of the Vampire Apocalypse, Fang Heng had seen the combat strength of the Wasteland Federation. They were all mutated fusion beasts with low-level thinking abilities.

When they went crazy, they even attacked their own people!

Other than that, they also mastered small-scale laser weapon technology which was worth mentioning.

Fang Heng quickly came up with a strategy.

The purpose of this trip was simply to collect high energy evolution crystals. He would directly find the training area in the Wasteland Apocalypse and kill a wave of monsters with a large number of zombie clones!

Boorish tactics were simple and effective!

While he was thinking, a beam of light flashed from the other side of the teleportation disc.

Mo Jiawei had just returned from District 9 with Sandy.

"Hey, Fang Heng, I knew you would be fine."

"Come on, stop sucking up to me. I almost died at the hands of Prince Carl."

Sandy came up and could not help but interrupt the two. He rushed to ask, "Fang Heng, where's the treasure? How's the treasure left in the Holy Court? Is it okay?"

"I got it. It's hidden outside the other games now. It'll take some time to get it back."

"Phew, you got it." Sandy was relieved. He praised, "Hey! Fang Heng, I knew I could rely on you! The first time we met, I know that you are indeed a young man who is cared for by the god of art."

Fang Heng looked at Mo Jiawei and asked, "How's the situation on your side?"

"Not good. The headquarters of the Holy Court has been destroyed. Can you believe that the Pope, that b*st*rd, took his men and ran away first?"

Mo Jiawei shook his head and continued, "Right now, Chu Yan is in a hurry to return to the temporary headquarters of the Holy Court to report. The demon hunters have obtained the Prince's stone slab. Chen Lin doesn't understand the writings on the stone slab. He thinks that it might be very important. He's going to take the stone slab to his grandfather to take a look."

"Oh, that's right. I heard that his grandfather is very powerful. His prestige among the demon hunters is very high. He knows a lot of things. He should be able to decipher the written records on the stone slab."

As he spoke, Mo Jiawei spread out his hands, and a wicked smile appeared on his face, "Then, the vampires were very funny. I heard from Meng Hao that their Book of Enoch was lost. The Prince was suddenly awakened, and his strength was greatly reduced. He might fall into a long period of hibernation again."

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed.

"Wait, you said that the Prince is in hibernation again? Is the information reliable?"

Mo Jiawei also realized it. He thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Yes, the vampires said so. But we can't rule out the possibility of lying."

Fang Heng touched his chin. He felt that it was most likely a trap.

It was better to be steady and not be reckless. He would go to District 9 to take a look after some time.

"Right, Fang Heng, what's our next step?"

"I was just about to discuss it with you. I'm getting a little tired of the vampires. I'm going to go to the Wasteland World for a vacation and get some high energy evolution crystals to level up the space tearing device."

"A vacation?"

Mo Jiawei's eyes lit up when he heard that.

It made sense. Compared to the world of the vampires, the Wasteland Apocalypse would be like a vacation for them.

They would crush their way through.

"That's good. Let's go together."

Sandy also shouted, "Fang Heng, I want to go too. Take me there. I've never been to the Wasteland World before. There might be some artwork worth developing there…"

Hearing that Fang Heng was going to the Wasteland Apocalypse, Sandy wanted to follow him to take a look and experience the local customs of the Wasteland World.

"Ah, you're going to a new special world? There's something I want to talk to you about."

Victor was repairing the teleportation disc that had just been used when he heard that everyone was preparing to go to the Wasteland World. He looked up and said, "I heard that some special worlds have a lot of special ore resources. If it's convenient, you can bring some over for research. They'll be useful for building miracles and temples."

"Ah, right, right, right."

Hearing that, Sandy immediately came to a realization. He looked at Fang Heng and nodded frantically. "This is very important. We must not forget it."

"Okay, I'll take note of it."

Fang Heng said and nodded at Mo Jiawei. "Before we set off, we'll first inquire about the specific situation of Wasteland Apocalypse District 11."

"No problem, leave it to me."

…

[Hint: Player has chosen to enter the elementary game world-Wasteland Apocalypse District 11.]

[Hint: You are currently in a random temporary safe area-Raptor Company underground fortress (No. 2838).]

[Hint: In the Wasteland Apocalypse game, you can only set up binding teleportation points in the safe areas.]

[Hint: The current teleportation time is 24 hours.]

[Hint: The current Wasteland Apocalypse District 11 has not completed the main storyline mission. Player cannot participate in the main storyline mission in his current state.]

Hint after hint appeared in his vision.

Fang Heng opened his eyes.

He, Sandy and Mo Jiawei appeared in Wasteland Apocalypse District 8, in a large-sized shelter owned by Raptor Company.

From the inside, it looked more like a metal cage.

Sandy looked around curiously as if he had never seen the world before.

Fang Heng had originally planned to set off for Wasteland World in the afternoon.

He did not expect that the matter of the fallen corridor would ruin his plan.

Pu Shi led the player team to complete the layout of the defensive front in the middle area, and the entire team explored the inner area of the fallen corridor.

As the team's only main support, Fang Heng had no choice but to go with the team.

Fang Heng, who was wearing heavy equipment, was well protected with three layers of protection.

He only returned to the game at night.

Then, under Sandy's urging, he rushed to the Wasteland World.

"Wow, this place looks pretty good. It has a postmodern artistic aura…"

Sandy smacked his lips and looked excited.

Fang Heng didn't know much about the Wasteland Apocalypse.

Out of the three elementary games, the background information of the Wasteland Apocalypse was limited. Fang Heng only knew that the outside world was covered by special radiation. In short, when one entered the outside world, they would continuously receive damage and negative effects.

Ordinary players needed to stay inside the human-made safe areas in order to survive.

Chapter 794: Raptor Company

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the background of the game, an NPC company called Raptor Company controlled more than 90% of the super-large shelters' safe areas in the Wasteland Apocalypse.

It was worth mentioning that Wasteland Apocalypse was the first choice of every rich player in the real world.

Because of the relatively high level of technology in this world, it had already developed an efficient freezing chamber. As long as the body in the game was stored in the freezing chamber, the player could quit the game without having to control food and water intake, and the game time was calculated as usual.

Fang Heng and Qiu Yaokang had discussed and researched this freezing chamber before.

According to Qiu Yaokang's estimation, the same technology would only be developed in the late-stage of the Zombie Apocalypse.

Therefore, Fang Heng thought that if there was an opportunity this time, he could find a way to get a freezing chamber to speed up the research.

At the gathering point, besides Fang Heng and his team members, there were more than ten players who had just chosen to enter the Wasteland Apocalypse and appeared at random places.

Having just arrived at an unfamiliar place, the rookies were somewhat vigilant as they observed the people around them.

A young girl in her early twenties was about to say something to ease her awkwardness and nervousness when the metal door in front of them opened with a swish.

Two fully armed people in green protective suits walked towards them.

"Hey, new refugees, congratulations on finding a temporary shelter. I'm the captain of the escort team here, Bazaar."

Alba waved at everyone and said, "Now, come and collect your temporary identity cards one by one. With your temporary identity cards, you can obtain the most basic materials in the Raptor Company's safe areas. This is the benefit given to you by Raptor Company."

"The temporary identity cards are valid for three days. If you still can't complete the upgrade of your identity cards after three days…"

"Then I'm sorry."

Bazaar gestured with the guns in his hands. "I don't want to waste bullets. When the time comes, everyone knows what to do. Do you understand?!"

The two NPCs obviously didn't have much patience. After distributing the identity cards, they turned around and left, leaving the rookies behind.

[Hint: You have obtained the temporary identity card of Raptor Company.]

Item: Temporary identity card.

Description: A temporary identity card issued by Raptor Company. With this card, you can stay in any safe area under Raptor Company. This card only binds individuals and has the function of storing contribution points.

Description: Every 24 hours, 10 contribution points will be deducted from the temporary identity card. If the contribution points fall to zero, the identity card will be invalid.

Current remaining contribution points: 30 points.

[Hint: You have triggered a normal mission-upgrade the identity card.]

Mission name: Upgrade the identity card.

Mission description: To collect 200 contribution points within three days to complete the upgrade of the identity card.

Fang Heng took the temporary identity card and held it in his hand.

The identity card was similar to a bank card. It could store contribution points and the points could be traded through the Raptor Company Exchange.

Once the identity card was invalid, the player would be kicked out by Raptor Company.

Fang Heng put away the card.

It seemed that the difficulty level to kickstart the game was lower than that of Zombie Apocalypse.

It was no wonder that the Zombie Apocalypse was known as the beginning of hell.

After the initial panic, a few players quickly gathered together and tried to discuss countermeasures.

Raptor Company had shelters all over the world.

Other than that, players could also choose to build their own shelter.

However, in the Wasteland Apocalypse, the initial difficulty of building a shelter was hundreds of times more than in the Zombie Apocalypse.

The problem was the radiation of the Wasteland Apocalypse.

Anti-radiation houses needed special materials to be made. Safe areas also needed to be equipped with buildings such as isolation rooms, purification rooms, air circulators, radiation research rooms, and so on.

The cost was extremely high.

Without a large number of resources and researchers, it was very difficult to complete self-construction.

Wasteland Apocalypse's new district, District 11, had been open for a full seven years.

Based on the Federation's report last year, the Federation had built a total of 12 super-large shelters in District 11 and provided protection to the people.

Overall, District 11 was still considered a relatively stable area.

Fang Heng recalled the relevant information.

"Start clearing."

Waves of drowsiness assaulted him. Fang Heng patted his face to make himself more clear-headed.

The aftereffects of using the ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon, had yet to be completely eliminated.

It was very tiring.

In addition, he wore a thick set of equipment during the day and constantly used purification spells with the team to pass time…

Fang Heng only wanted to hold on for another half an hour. Later, he would find a place to slowly hack in and quickly go back to sleep.

The people who were randomly assigned to Fang Heng were all students. After introducing themselves, they all turned their gazes to Fang Heng and the other two.

The three of them did not introduce themselves yet and they were all wearing masks.

No matter how one looked at it, it felt weird.

One of them, a 1.9-meter-tall young man, Tang Qifei, said, "Brother, you guys…"

"My name is Fang Shuo. Let's go inside and take a look first."

Fang Heng shrugged, his tone giving off an unquestionable feeling.

The five students looked at each other and followed Fang Heng into the shelter of the safe areas.

"Ka, identity verification completed. Welcome back to Raptor Company. Please increase your temporary card privileges as soon as possible."

After the automatic response sent out a verification hint, the door opened.

The central hall of the safe area was crowded with people.

At night, the danger factor in the wilderness area increased exponentially. Therefore, most players chose to talk business and trade at night.

A large number of players gathered in the free trade area of the hall.

There were so many people!

It was just one safe area and there were so many players?

Fang Heng was a little surprised. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mo Jiawei.

The three of them exchanged looks and began to spread out to gather information.

Fang Heng saw a Qihoo Company's foreign business counter not far away. He walked over there.

"Welcome to Raptor Company. Raptor Company is committed to providing you with the best service during the apocalypse."

Behind the counter, the young lady introduced the company's specific situation to Fang Heng.

"Raptor Company provides foreign exchange service. To upgrade your identity card, you need 200 contribution points. Once you have a certain amount of contribution points, you can automatically advance the membership level of Raptor Company."

"On the other side, you can choose to accept the commission from Raptor Company's commission office to obtain contribution points. You can also use Raptor Company's contribution points to exchange for items. As your membership level increases, you can unlock the list of high-tier materials that can be sold."

A three-dimensional electronic screen appeared on the right side of Fang Heng's body.

The list displayed a series of basic exchangeable items provided by Raptor Company.

Fang Heng curled his lips, thinking that it was quite troublesome.

Currently, his Raptor Company's VIP membership level was Level 1, so he could only exchange for some basic items.

By consuming the Raptor Company's contribution points, he could obtain points, which would directly increase the Raptor Company's VIP membership level.

As for the acquisition of points, he had to complete Raptor Company's missions or through transactions.

Chapter 795: Environment

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Troublesome.

He probably had to go to the other side to pick up the mission.

Fang Heng muttered in his heart as he roughly flipped through the mission list.

Eh?

This was good!

Using survival points to directly exchange for contribution points!

Due to the game's restrictions, the monthly exchange limit was limited.

The exchange limit was 100:1. Currently, the maximum amount that could be exchanged was 1,000 contribution points per month.

Fang Heng currently did not lack survival points.

[Hint: You have used 100,000 survival points to exchange for 1,000 contribution points from Raptor Company.]

With contribution points, he could think of a way to exchange for some driving tools to leave this place. He could find a wild monster area and find an opportunity to farm monsters.

Fang Heng quickly formulated a targeted plan.

"Excuse me, is there a teleportation passage here?"

"Teleportation passage will be unlocked when your membership level reaches Level 5."

It was the membership level again.

Fang Heng frowned. "How long will it take to reach Level 5?"

The young lady revealed a formulaic smile. "It's very easy to reach the low-tier membership level. A total of 7,500 contribution points will do."

"Fang Heng."

After asking for some information, Mo Jiawei returned to Fang Heng's side and pointed to Fang Heng. "I've asked already. Our luck isn't good. This place is one of the top ten famous mining areas in the game."

"Mining area?"

"Yes. There are a significant number of mining areas in a large area nearby. This place is occupied by a company called Weixing Technology. There are many small companies and small guilds. There are also many teams of purely unspecialized players who are here to mine for money."

Mo Jiawei continued to explain in a low voice, "Many large companies purchase ores outside. Some buy them according to contribution points, while others buy them according to real-world cash. This place supports a lot of people, including the peddlers."

"I heard that there are mutated beasts in the periphery deeper into the mining sites. The player will be troubled by the mutated beasts while mining, but there are no large boss-type creatures. Therefore, this is not a good place for us to obtain the high energy evolution crystal."

Fang Heng nodded to show that he understood.

This was not a good place. It was better to leave early.

Mo Jiawei continued to ask, "Fang Heng, we are preparing to collect some contribution points to leave this place, right?"

"Yes…"

Fang Heng was thinking with his head lowered when he suddenly heard a familiar exclamation not far away.

"What the hell! You haven't heard of the Ark Company?!"

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei could not help but look at each other.

Sandy?

Did he start to stir up trouble again?

"Let's go and take a look."

On the right side of the trading hall, a group of people gathered to join in the fun.

In the crowd, Sandy was arguing with another player, looking indignant.

"I told you! We're from the Ark Technology Company! We have properties all over the world, why don't you cooperate with us? Discrimination? Looking down on us?"

Seeing Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei squeeze into the crowd, Sandy became even more aggressive.

"Boss Fang, tell me, aren't they being unreasonable?"

Fang Heng still didn't understand what was going on.

The player who was arguing with Sandy noticed Fang Heng and felt even more annoyed when he saw that he was still wearing a mask. He waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go. Don't make trouble here. I want to do business with the gaming company. I've never heard of the Ark Technology Company. It's best if you leave now…"

As a few of them were talking, a few more players walked over. They were all wearing the same black uniform.

The nearby players all avoided them when they saw them.

The young man in the lead, Zhao Xiu, looked at Fang Heng and the others.

"Causing trouble?"

Zhao Xiu was a little surprised at first when he heard that someone was causing trouble here.

"Listen well. This is Weixing Technology's territory. You can only trade here after you have accepted Weixing Technology's registered license. Also, every time the transaction is completed, Weixing Technology will charge 20% as a form of protection fee. Yes, this is to ensure everyone's safety."

What kind of overbearing clause was this?!

Sandy had never been angered like this before. He glared at Zhao Xiu and said fiercely, "Why should I give you money? We don't need your company's protection!"

"Of course, business cooperation is all about mutual consent."

Zhao Xiu spread his hands and said indifferently, "You can try. If you don't accept our company's registered license, you can try and see who dares to trade with you here."

As he spoke, Zhao Xiu looked around.

All the players avoided Zhao Xiu's gaze.

For many years, paying protection fees to Weixing Technology had become a tradition.

"Alright, disperse. Don't cause trouble. If there's a next time, I'll ask you to leave this place."

Zhao Xiu licked his lips and looked at Fang Heng and the others with a threatening gaze.

"Let's go."

Sandy gritted his teeth as he watched Zhao Xiu and the others leave.

Fang Heng could not figure out the situation, so he asked, "Sandy, what's going on?"

"Fang Heng, I saw it just now. That kind of stone ore is very good. It's a type of ore necessary to build a temple. I've been searching in the apocalyptic world for a long time, but I still couldn't find it. I just negotiated a deal with that person…"

Sandy gestured to Fang Heng and explained.

"These people are really shameless."

"Don't get too agitated." Mo Jiawei was used to this kind of thing. Instead, he nodded and said, "It's quite normal. This place is controlled by Weixing Technology behind the scenes. Weixing Technology has a huge plate and since one person can't 'eat up' all the ore mining, they chose to cooperate with the players. The 20% protection fee is just a pretext."

Fang Heng had a rough idea after listening to Sandy's explanation.

So it was Sandy who was the arrogant one in other people's territory.

It couldn't be regarded as a provocation.

"F*ck, this matter won't be settled just like that!"

Sandy cursed and pointed at Zhao Xiu and the others who had left. "Fang Heng, you have to help me."

"Okay."

Fang Heng agreed and looked at Mo Jiawei. "It seems that it's unrealistic for us to cooperate with Weixing Technology. Is there any other way to get a large number of contribution points by bypassing Weixing Technology?"

"North River Heavy Industry has already withdrawn their investment from District 11 a few years ago. I can buy some contribution points offline, but getting them will take some time."

Mo Jiawei touched his chin and pointed at the sparsely populated area on the right which was entrusted to Raptor Company.

"Otherwise, we can only trade with NPCs. Even the people of the Federation have no control over trading with NPCs."

"Eh?"

Fang Heng was confused and asked, "Isn't it good to trade with NPCs?"

"Yeah, I just asked around. The mid-game is not as good as the early stage of the game. The contribution points that can be exchanged by directly handing over resources to Raptor Company are relatively small. It's far inferior as compared to trading with players."

Fang Heng nodded to show that he understood.

"Let's go to Raptor Company to see the situation."

In short, it was a little late today. Fang Heng thought that he should go and pick up some missions first and arrange for the zombie clones to hack for a night.

Sandy became anxious and asked, "Fang Heng? We're not going to take revenge?"

"Don't be anxious. We don't care about taking revenge in such a short amount of time. Let's wait a little longer. We'll take action after we understand the situation."

As they spoke, Fang Heng, Mo Jiawei and Sandy arrived at Raptor Company's commission office on the other side.

A list of available missions appeared on their retina.

The number and tier of the missions that players could currently receive were also related to Raptor Company's VIP membership level.

Level 1 could only receive one mission at a time.

Fang Heng roughly skimmed through the information on the three-dimensional projection list.

There were roughly two types of missions.

The first was the hunting-type mission. The player had to hunt for life forms that had undergone radiation mutation, and then extract a sample of their life essence before submitting them.

It sounded very troublesome.

The player needed to leave the safe area to complete the mission. He also had to extract a sample of the life form's life essence before returning to submit the mission.

The other type was the collecting-type mission, in which the player had to collect materials and resources.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then focused his attention on a mission to collect ores and materials.

A unit of low-level ores could provide 5 contribution points.

In theory, collecting-type missions allowed the player to collect and submit without limit.

Fang Heng was a little tired. He didn't want to make too much of a fuss tonight, so he randomly found a low-level mission to deal with and let the zombie clones mine for the whole night.

With that thought, Fang Heng casually pointed and accepted the mission, "That's it. Let's get to work."

There were very few people in the Raptor Company's mission area. Not far away from Fang Heng and the others, more than ten rookies who had just joined the game gathered together.

Meeting each other was also a kind of fate. It was very common for rookies to huddle together for warmth.

It was also taught in school.

According to the school teaching, the first mission planning should begin after completing the initial intelligence-gathering work.

At this point, the rookies were troubled.

Each person had 30 points as the initial startup, apart from the basic protective suit, weapons and food, if it was a gathering-type mission, they would also need tools such as a shovel…

They were stretched thin.

One person's points were not enough, so they could only stick together.

After all, this was their first time playing the game, so the players were still a little hesitant. They discussed how they were going to find some easy missions to complete.

Seeing this group of people who could be used as his toolmen, Fang Heng walked over.

"Everyone, I'm Fang Shuo. I want to work together with you."

The rookies turned their heads at the same time and looked at Fang Heng.

They had also seen what had happened outside not long ago.

Fang Heng's group had just arrived and already had a conflict with the local boss.

It was very reckless behavior.

When the players saw Fang Heng and the other two take the initiative to approach them, they were a little wary.

"Don't be nervous. I'll have a batch of materials delivered tonight, so I'll get someone to help me complete the last batch of transportation. Yes, the unloading location is at the periphery of the safe area. There's almost no danger. The working hours will be from now until seven o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll give each of you 30 contribution points as payment…"

Mo Jiawei nodded and said, "I'm the supervisor. I can give each of you 100 survival points as a deposit."

Several players looked at each other before looking at Fang Heng at the same time.

After all this time, he was a tycoon?

"How is it? Do you accept the proposal?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

For a rookie, earning 30 contribution points in one night was very good.

"Right, is there a mining area nearby?"

"Yes," a female rookie carefully raised her hand and said, "I just asked around. There's an abandoned mining area about two kilometers away from here to the west. We originally wanted to go there to collect ores."

Mo Jiawei said, "Over 95% of the ore resources there have already been mined. The amount of ore produced is very low. If you're unlucky, you will not be able to make ends meet, and will also be harassed by the mutated creatures nearby, so it's already been abandoned by the players."

This was not bad.

As long as it was close enough, it was alright.

In the Wasteland World, the most troublesome thing was the unknown radiation in the outside world.

Players had to wear a protective suit if they wanted to go outside.

The protective suit's protective ability was different according to the level. The lowest level of the protective suit could only last five hours outside, and it was easily spoilt.

The selling price was 5 contribution points.

Therefore, the player had to pay a cost to go outside to collect.

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei quickly discussed and pondered.

"I'll go outside alone to take a look. You guys stay here first and try to find out more about the situation. Contact me through the survival radio."

"Okay."

Fang Heng bought a protective suit and five mining picks and shovels by himself and put them into his backpack. He was ready to go to the mine to try it out.

Wearing the protective suit, Fang Heng left the safe area through the passage and came to the periphery of the building.

The night vision ability of the vampires combined with the moonlight provided sufficient vision.

The outside of the Wasteland World looked similar to the Zombie Apocalypse.

There was no player. It was a very desolate scene.

[Hint: You have entered the radiation zone.]

Fang Heng tried to open the zipper of the protective suit.

[Hint: Player has entered an unknown radiation exposure state. Exposure rate: 19%. Current radiation limit: 0.01%. The radiation limit exceeds 70%. There is a chance that the player will enter an unstable mutation state.]

[Hint (based on low-level game difficulty): A small percentage of the mutation state cannot be healed.]

[Hint: Player's current physique attribute is greater than 40, greatly reducing the radiation effect.]

[Hint: You have been affected by the radiation effect. Your HP has been reduced by 8 points…]

[Hint: The longer the player is exposed to the radiation, the more damage the player will receive.]

[Hint: Player's HP has been reduced by 11 points…]

Fang Heng carefully observed the game log.

In theory, radiation-like damage could be considered physical damage.

The undying body effect was immune to this kind of damage, so the zombie clones should be able to work without protection.

But…

It was better to be safe.

Fang Heng zipped up the protective suit again.

Dressed neatly, Fang Heng walked in the west direction toward the mining area. The mining area was not far away.

With a high attribute bonus, Fang Heng ran all the way and successfully arrived at the mining area ten minutes later.

There were no enemies along the way.

It seemed that this route was relatively safe.

In the middle of the night, players were seen near the abandoned mining area.

While thinking, Fang Heng stepped into the interior of the mining area.

He glanced at the game hint again.

The zombies would still need another half an hour to resurrect.

Let's begin.

Level up first.

Last time, he had killed a large wave of vampires in the Vampire Apocalypse's Elders Council. He had gathered a lot of crystals, but he didn't have time to level up then.

After leveling up, he could immediately obtain a batch of toolmen.

Fang Heng opened the attribute panel of his character.

"Level up."

[Hint: Player has met the level-up requirement, the current level has been raised to Level 22.]

[Hint: Player has obtained 85 additional zombie clones through his talent skill.]

Under his feet, the surrounding muddy ground rumbled.

Gray-brown palms poked out from the soil one after another.

The zombie clones struggled out of the soil unsteadily.

Chapter 797: Camouflage

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The game hint refreshed once again.

[Hint: Player's next level upgrade requirement-Tier 1 fusion evolution crystal*999, Tier 2 fusion evolution crystal*100.]

[Hint: Player has obtained the fusion crystal formula (not tradable after fusion). Fusion requires three different colors of the same tier evolution crystals.]

As expected.

At the beginning of the level-up, he first needed semi-fusion crystals, but this time, he needed all-fusion crystals.

Fang Heng predicted the need to level up, so he came to the Wasteland Apocalypse earlier.

He didn't lose out this time. He slightly changed his plan, and he also needed to farm low-level crystals.

It was all a matter of convenience.

The next step was to mine.

Fang Heng took out the shovels and pickaxes from his backpack and threw them on the ground.

The zombie clones quickly picked up the tools on the ground and silently walked into the depths of the mining area to start digging.

[Hint: Player's zombie clone has dug up useless shrapnel.]

[Hint: Player's zombie clone has dug up useless shrapnel…]

[Hint: Player has dug up low-level ore… player's master level mining skill experience points 1, player's geological exploration skill experience points 1.]

The game hints popped up one after another.

Fang Heng quickly realized that this mining area was a sinkhole!

The ore drop rate was surprisingly low.

There was no way to get back the capital.

No wonder there were no other players in the mine.

Fang Heng could not help but yawn again.

"Forget it, I'll mingle around tonight and find a better place tomorrow."

Fang Heng thought and stood aside to wait quietly.

The zombie clones didn't wear any protective suits. They were affected by the radiation, and their HP was gradually decreasing.

When their HP dropped to 8%, the undying body effect was triggered, and they were immune to damage.

Under such a serious condition, the zombie clones were still working hard in mining the ores and waving the pickaxes.

"It seems that the radiation effect is physical damage. Next is the transportation of ores…"

Fang Heng looked at the zombie clones that were working and muttered to himself.

He turned on the survival radio and asked Mo Jiawei to buy 30 sets of protective suits and send them over.

About an hour later, in the mining area, Fang Heng brought 200 zombie clones and 100 Lickers to the Wasteland World and completely resurrected them.

Mo Jiawei also brought a batch of materials to the mining area and stood aside to watch.

The originally empty mining area was crowded with so many zombie clones. It was quite a spectacular sight.

Fang Heng controlled the Lickers to explore and clear the surrounding area to ensure the safety of the mining area.

The remaining zombie clones continued to collect materials, make simple tools, and mine for ores.

Then, Mo Jiawei displayed the thirty protective suits that he had exchanged for.

The 30 zombie clones put on the thick layer of protective suits.

Mo Jiawei walked up to the neatly-dressed zombie clones and smacked his lips.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."

The low-tier protective suit was rough and heavy, and it had additional redundant equipment. After putting it on, not only did it wrap the player tightly, but it also restricted the player from making many movements.

There were also benefits.

For example, right now, the protective suit was an excellent disguise.

In the pitch-black night, after wearing the protective suits, the zombie clones didn't seem to be too noticeable to ordinary people, except for the fact that they were walking unsteadily.

"Fang Heng, let's do it."

"Okay."

As Fang Heng said that, he controlled the thirty neatly-dressed zombie clones to each carry a sack of ores on their backs and followed behind Mo Jiawei.

"Let's go, let's send the ores back."

Mo Jiawei made an 'OK' gesture to Fang Heng, then led the zombies back the way they came.

The journey was safe.

The zombies with the weight-bearing bodies came to the shelter in the safe areas. The zombie clones then threw the ores on the ground.

The newbie players, who had been looking forward to this for a long time, walked out of the darkness.

"God! Awesome!"

"Awesome! Someone sent the goods over…"

It was too dark for the newbie players to see clearly. They had never thought that the toolmen who brought the ores over would be zombies. They only thought that it was not bad to earn contribution points by doing such a simple job.

This game was not as difficult as the teachers in the school said.

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. Work faster. Consider it an extra achievement."

"Boss is awesome!"

Carrying the sacks, the players were responsible for the last part of the transportation process. They put the ores into their backpack, and those who could not put them directly carried the sacks behind them and sent them back to the safe areas.

Mo Jiawei nodded with satisfaction. He brought the newbies who were carrying the materials back to the safe areas of the shelter and began to hand in the missions.

In the hall, many players noticed a dozen newbies led by Mo Jiawei and watched as they carried the bags and walked towards the commission office of the Raptor Company.

There was some doubt in their eyes.

Very quickly, the players shifted their gazes away.

Mining basic ores, the lowest-level labor force.

In most cases, they could not make ends meet, not to mention directly handing the ores to the Raptor Company.

It was a bloody loss.

There was nothing they could do. This was the consequence of offending Raptor Company.

[Hint: You have submitted 64 units of basic ores. Obtained 320 contribution points.]

Awesome! The first bucket of gold!

Mo Jiawei waved his fist excitedly. He felt like he had started from scratch to work his way up until now.

The other ten or so newbie players also felt good. They looked at Mo Jiawei, their eyes burning with passion.

They had agreed that the entire team would get 1% of the commission!

Work it out for one night!

"Boss, do we continue?"

"Of course, we continue!"

Everything went smoothly. Mo Jiawei immediately decided to increase the output!

He estimated for a moment and directly spent all the contribution points he had just obtained. He went to the trading area and continued to invest in items such as carts, protective suits, and the urgently needed Raptor Company's advanced multi-purpose pickaxe.

This thing was hundreds of times more efficient than the pickaxe made by the zombies.

He continued to increase the output…

Mo Jiawei's spirit was lifted.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!

…

"Yawn…"

In the mining area, Fang Heng, who was controlling the zombie clones to work, yawned.

He was a little tired.

He left the Raptor Company to Mo Jiawei to manage.

He was trustworthy.

Fang Heng took out a simple bed and lay on it. Then, he closed his eyes to recover his energy in the game.

In short, he decided to hack in here tonight and check later tomorrow to find the next place to grind monsters.

Recently, he was stuck in the fallen corridor and had a lot of things to do. Therefore, he tried to hack in the game as much as possible.

"Boss Fang! Boss Fang!"

Fang Heng had just closed his eyes and was in a daze for a while when he was woken up by Mo Jiawei who had rushed back.

Mo Jiawei rushed back to the mining area with a lot of materials. When he saw Fang Heng lying on the bed and resting, he became anxious.

All his employees were geared up. As the boss, how could he rest?

"Fang Heng, hurry up and get up. The new goods have arrived. I've got a lot of shovels and tools. I think we still need to adjust the production line. God, you have to listen to me this time…"

"Ha…"

Fang Heng yawned.

Early in the morning, he was still in a daze when Li Shaoqiang woke him up from his bed.

He had no choice. He was the only support in the team.

Fang Heng put on the heavy bulk set and followed the player team led by Pu Shi into the inner area to clear out the vengeful spirit bodies.

While walking along the way, Fang Heng yawned for the eighth time.

Li Qingran saw that Fang Heng was still sleepy and asked, "Are you very tired? Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Yeah, a little."

That's right.

He had wanted to sleep early last night, but Mo Jiawei was suddenly all geared up.

He dragged him to set up the production line until late at night. By the time he finished adjusting the production line, it was already past one o'clock in the morning when he went offline to hack.

It wasn't just last night. He hadn't had a good rest during this period of time.

"Well, it's a little tiring to cultivate the sacred study. Do you want me to go and talk to the instructor?"

"No, no need. I still want to go out earlier." Fang Heng yawned again as he spoke and changed the topic. "It'll take a long time to completely clean up the inner area, right?"

"Yes. The deeper it is in the inner area, the more difficult it will be to clean it up."

Li Qingran became serious and continued, "Last night, Teacher Pu Shi led a team to conduct a simple investigation of the area and made a little discovery. Teacher felt that we might have encountered some trouble, so he came over this morning to verify it."

Li Qingran paused as she spoke, and she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Eh, I understand. Vengeful spirits are very difficult to deal with."

Fang Heng had just woken up and was still a little confused, so he did not hear any hesitation in Li Qingran's words.

Just like yesterday, after Fang Heng cast weapon blessing on the team, he began to switch equipment and followed behind the team to slack.

He squinted his eyes as he walked along the way.

After using the Everlasting Moon skill, the negative effect brought by the exhaustion of his mental strength made him listless for two or three days.

The players were also used to Fang Heng's slacking attitude. They even felt a little sympathy for him.

He was a healer and was wearing such heavy equipment.

They felt tired just by looking at him.

After entering the inner layer of the area, the danger level increased exponentially.

High-tier vengeful spirits had powerful abilities and often appeared in groups of seven or eight. They needed to work together as a team to ensure their safety.

Pu Shi did not dare to split up the team's combat strength.

He chose to gather all the high-tier players to form a team and enter the inner layer's periphery to explore. He would slowly destroy the vengeful spirits and weaken the death aura's strength in the inner layer of the fallen corridor.

After more than two hours, the team gradually entered the area in the second layer.

The players were somewhat tired from fighting all the way.

When they reached an intersection, Pu Shi suddenly raised his hand and signaled for the party to stop moving forward.

The soul candle provided limited light range, so the player relied more on their perception to detect the threat of vengeful spirits in the dark.

"Be careful."

As soon as he said that, two black vengeful spirits gradually gathered from the front and slowly floated over.

Huh?

That was…

Behind the two black vengeful spirits, two black vortexes condensed.

White skeletal palms extended from the two vortexes respectively.

Following that, there was a huge ghostly head with a terrifying shape that was shrouded in the shadows.

When the players saw this, their expressions darkened, and one after another, they took out the Book of the Dead.

Skeleton demon!

A creature that was harder to deal with than a high-tier vengeful spirit.

Its body was only composed of two parts, the ghostly head that was shrouded in the aura of death and the skeletal hands.

Previously, the team had encountered skeleton demons in the fallen corridor a few times, but this was the first time they had encountered two at the same time.

Teacher Pu Shi's expression was particularly grave. With a flip of his wrist, a thick Book of the Dead appeared in his right hand.

The team also immediately took out the Book of the Dead.

The wails of the undead around them became clearer and clearer. More and more high-tier vengeful spirits gathered around the intersection, gathering towards the player team at the center of the intersection.

Pu Shi's brows were tightly knitted.

This was troublesome!

In less than a minute, a large number of high-tier vengeful spirits around them had resurrected. Just by looking at them with the naked eye, he could see five of them. In the darkness, Pu Shi could feel that there were even more troublesome vengeful spirits gathering.

Was it a trap?!

Had the King Guards in the center been awakened?

The black aura condensed into a ball, and a gray scythe appeared in the skeleton demon's right hand.

The scythe slashed through the air.

"Whoosh!"

A black sword light flashed in the air.

Several players used the Book of the Dead to release the black balls.

"Bang!"

Several black balls and sword lights exploded at the same time, releasing black energy waves.

Pu Shi flipped the pages of the Book of the Dead in his hand frantically.

"Chi Chi Chi!!!"

Dozens of black chains that were more than half a meter thick shot out from the Book of the Dead, locking the two skeleton demons in front of them!

"Roar!!!"

The black chains locked the two skeleton demons' heads in place.

After the chains wrapped around the skeleton demons, they began to slowly shrink, trapping the skeleton demons and dragging them into the Book of the Dead.

The skeleton demons struggled, letting out mournful roars and resisting crazily.

Fang Heng was no longer sleepy. He looked at Pu Shi's operation and thought, this move was awesome!

Previously, the Holy Court also had a similar chain move to deal with the Prince of the vampires, Carl.

But that was something that could only be used after expending life force, not to mention failing in the end.

He wanted to learn this!

High-tier soul bodies gathered towards the players in the center from all directions.

Pu Shi said in a deep voice, "I'll block the skeleton demon. Qingran, protect Fang Heng well. You guys retreat first."

Because he had switched to the sacred study, Fang Heng's body had a slight aura of holy light.

Ordinary player would find it difficult to detect, but the vengeful spirits were extremely sensitive to this kind of aura.

In addition to the various equipment on Fang Heng's body, Fang Heng was now as dazzling as a pearl in the dark night in the eyes of the undead creatures.

Fang Heng became the undead creatures' first target of attack!

Pu Shi already had some understanding of Fang Heng's self-healing ability and defensive ability.

He had been in the game for hundreds of years, and he was extremely shrewd.

Fang Heng was able to carry so much equipment and move freely, so his physique, strength and body attributes were definitely not low!

In addition to the three layers of equipment on Fang Heng's body that also added defense, he was not worried that Fang Heng would be killed by the skeleton demon in one slash.

Not to mention one slash, even 20 or 30 slashes would not be enough to kill him!

The holy light class' turtle shell lived up to its name.

Fang Heng was definitely the one who could absorb damage the most among this group of people. Even if he died, Fang Heng might not necessarily die.

Pu Shi's heart ached for the high-tier equipment on Fang Heng's body.

The Federation and the Necromancer Association had spent a lot of effort to collect all of them. Most of them were borrowed. If they were hit, their durability would drop by a lot. Some of the equipment would even be directly damaged and could not be repaired.

And the damage to the equipment would directly weaken the purification ability, directly affecting the entire team's combat ability.

"Fang Heng, let's retreat first."

Li Qingran nodded upon hearing this and stood beside Fang Heng.

"Qingran, look, Teacher Pu Shi's move is quite powerful. Do you know about it?"

Chapter 799: Mess Around

"Elementary undead skill. It's not difficult, but to condense more than ten sealing locks like Teacher..."

Li Qingran answered subconsciously. She was leading Fang Heng to the back of the team, far away from the danger zone, when she suddenly frowned.

A black vortex appeared behind the team.

Oh no!

A gray skeletal palm emerged from the vortex.

The third skeleton demon condensed behind the party.

"Fang Heng! Be careful, hide behind me."

Li Qingran's heart skipped a beat. The first thing she did was to pull out a long gray bone sword covered in runes and block in front of Fang Heng.

This was big trouble!

Li Qingran was tensed.

Skeleton demon had only appeared twice along the way, and now three of them had appeared all of a sudden!

The player team that was protecting Fang Heng was on guard when they saw the third skeleton demon.

They activated the Book of the Dead and black-brown chains that were as thick as a fist shot out from the book. Before the skeleton demon could fully condense to form, the chains dashed toward it.

A few melee players also raised their weapons, trying to move around and find an attacking space.

"Ugh..."

Fang Heng observed the skeleton demon that was being controlled by the chains and thought to himself.

This move seemed to be quite strong, and everyone seemed to know it, so it was not difficult to learn.

"Roar!!!!"

The skeleton demon condensed its head and let out a shrill roar!!

"Boom!"

The chains that were originally wrapped around the skeleton broke into pieces! Several players who were controlling the Book of the Dead were pushed back.

How could this be?!

The players were shocked.

After breaking free from the chains, the skeleton demon raised its right hand up high. A vortex formed in the air above the skeleton demon's head.

Li Qingran's expression turned solemn when she saw this. She said in a deep voice, "Protect Fang Heng!!"

Bone shield!

Li Qingran worked together with the two players who had rushed over to cast a spell at the same time. A huge bone wall formed in front of her.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp black spear pierced out from the vortex.

"Bang!!!"

The black spear hit the bone wall that had just formed.

"Boom!!"

The bone wall exploded!

Li Qingran and the other two players who were trying to help Fang Heng flew away from the impact of the explosion.

The skeleton demon's head flew straight toward Fang Heng.

When the skeleton demon opened its palm, the chaotic black aura quickly condensed into a black scythe.

"Fang Heng, don't stand there, come to me!"

Li Qingran turned around and saw that Fang Heng was still standing where he was. She immediately wanted to rush over to help.

Whoosh!

The scythe drew a dark light in the air.

Eh?

Li Qingran let out a soft "Eh".

She was extremely surprised.

Even though he was covered in equipment and his body was extremely bloated, Fang Heng's movements did not seem to be affected at all. He tapped the tip of his feet on the ground and lifted himself. His entire body suddenly fluttered to the back to avoid the scythe attack.

"Whoosh!!!!"

The scythe whizzed past Fang Heng.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

The skeleton demon's two hands continuously waved the huge dark scythe, making a tearing sound as it tore through the air. However, Fang Heng was more like a player who had the talent of dodging as he madly avoided the opponent's attacks.

He even seemed to be able to do it with ease.

It was too strange!

The surrounding players who were protecting Fang Heng were also shocked speechless by Fang Heng's actions.

The scene even looked comical. At this moment, Fang Heng was like an agile fatty, constantly dodging the skeleton demon's attacks.

Pu Shi noticed the situation on Fang Heng's side from the corner of his eyes.

"What a distraction..."

Seeing that Fang Heng was managing the battle with ease, Pu Shi muttered to himself and completely relaxed.

The skeleton demon's body was huge and not nimble enough. With each attack, the demon made a forward movement.

This was their greatest weakness.

Pu Shi immediately stopped paying attention to Fang Heng's situation and turned to control the Book of the Dead. He quickened his pace and dragged the soul that was tightly bound by the chains into the Book of the Dead!

What was going on?

After all this time, he was actually a close-combat player?

The other players were also dumbfounded.

Moreover, he was able to be so agile while carrying so many layers of weight-bearing equipment.

How could he fight so well?

"Hurry up and help him!"

After the initial shock, Li Qingran immediately reacted. With a flip of her wrist, the Book of the Dead appeared in her hand.

When the players heard this, they all reacted and took out their Books of the Dead.

Chains shot out from the Book of the Dead and attacked the skeleton demon again.

Dozens of chains controlled the skeleton demon's body, causing it to stop moving again.

Fang Heng, who had been dodging all this time, could finally catch his breath.

Fang Heng jumped to the side. His right hand grabbed the Book of Creation hanging on his waist, and his left hand pulled out the holy spear of purification that had been on his back.

Weapon blessing!

A golden light suddenly bloomed on the spear.

The holy spear of purification was shrouded in a layer of light.

"Swish!!"

Fang Heng's toes tapped lightly on the ground as he flashed toward the half-controlled skeleton demon.

The spear was shrouded in faint dark gold color, and underneath the dark gold color was a blood blade.

The holy weapon of vampires-wrist guard.

"Chi!!!"

Raising his hand, the spear pierced into the skeleton demon's head.

The moment the spear pierced through the skeleton demon's head, a blood-red shadow appeared on the spear.

Holy weapon of the vampires-headdress.

Chi!

The blood-red shadow made the same stabbing motion, causing weak secondary damage.

"Boom!!!!!"

In the next instant, the additional purification effect of the holy spear of purification was triggered!

The golden light exploded at the point of penetration!

"Roar!!!!"

The skeleton demon let out an extremely painful howl!

The black aura at the spot where it was stabbed in the heart was instantly dispersed by more than half and directly revealed a huge hole!

His luck was good as the additional purification effect of the weapon was effective.

Fang Heng pulled back the spear in his hand once again and continuously stabbed forward.

"Chi! Chi Chi!!"

"Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!"

After thrusting seven times in a row, golden light continuously exploded!

Three strikes from the spear had triggered the Holy Light purification effect!

The purification effect had pierced three large holes in the skeleton demon's body, and its body instantly became extremely thin.

"Boom!!!!"

The thin skeleton demon's head gradually distorted in the air, and then exploded with a boom.

The explosion in the center sent Fang Heng, who was closest to it, flying away.

"Clack."

Fang Heng controlled his body and landed steadily on the ground.

It was settled?

That rookie took care of the skeleton demon?

Everyone turned to look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was also in disbelief. He lowered his head and looked at the spear in his hand.

The chance of triggering the purification skill of the long spear seemed to be a little high.

In theory, there was only a 20% chance of triggering it.

Was it because of the double damage from the vampires' headdress, or was it because of the blood blade?

Fang Heng muttered in his heart.

Without a hint from the game, he could not figure out if it was the effect of the vampire's holy weapon that caused him to cause damage multiple times or if it was his luck that caused a burst of damage.

Raising his head, Fang Heng noticed that his surrounding teammates were all looking at him.

Using the ability of the holy light system, he cooperated with the team to deal with the skeleton demon.

No matter how they thought about it, there was something very off.

They were thinking if he was some spy that was sent by the holy school to their necromancy school, and was here to advertise and recruit students.

After the initial shock, the players looked at Fang Heng with even stranger expressions.

That was not right.

He clearly had the ability and could fight a skeleton demon alone, but he kept slacking in the team.

"Cough, cough. This move cannot be used frequently. It will cause a lot of damage to the body."

Fang Heng coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty. He explained in a low voice and put the spear back behind him, looking as if he had done his best.

The players looked at Fang Heng, then looked at Li Qingran, who was at the side. There was more or less suspicion in their eyes.

Li Qingran stood out to help Fang Heng out of the predicament. "Quick, let's go back and help our mentor."

After dealing with the third skeleton demon that suddenly appeared, the crisis was temporarily resolved.

The team immediately returned and cooperated with the remaining team members to quickly eliminate the high-tier vengeful spirits that attacked from all directions.

Pu Shi also immediately absorbed the remaining two skeleton demons into the Book of the Dead.

After an intense battle, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted.

Pu Shi looked around at everyone and nodded at Li Qingran.

The sudden appearance of three skeleton demons did not seem like a coincidence.

The King Guards that were supposed to be sleeping in the central area had most likely resurrected.

Now, they needed to reformulate their tactics.

Originally, this was extremely bad news.

But now, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

Pu Shi unexpectedly discovered Fang Heng's special ability.

Fang Heng must have gone through a long period of basic training. His dodging movements and critical attack judgment had already been ingrained in him. He was definitely superior to an ordinary player.

Oh right.

Pu Shi remembered. He had read Fang Heng's past information. He was a professional player in the past.

Moreover, Fang Heng's physical attributes were much stronger than he had imagined!

He could even completely unlock the strength of the holy spear when the equipment redundancy was fully penalized.

With the help of Fang Heng's ability, getting rid of the skeleton demons and completely clearing the inner area was not a problem at all!

Pu Shi's gaze shifted to Fang Heng once again, and a smile inadvertently appeared on his face.

He thought, "Heh, you're going to let nature take its course and act as a support from behind, right?"

Pu Shi put away the smile on his face and said calmly, "Let's go. Let's leave the inner area first."

After leaving the fallen corridor and having a discussion on the follow-up plan, the players once again looked at Fang Heng in the center.

And then, they changed the plan.

The updated battle plan was like this.

Relying on Fang Heng's Holy Light aura to attract the undead creature to take the initiative to attack, the other players used the Book of the Dead to control the skeleton demon. Finally, Fang Heng would use the spear to pierce and stab it.

Fang Heng fell into a period of silence after hearing this.

He thought, this time, not only did he add buffs to support his skills, but he also assumed the roles of the main attacker as well as the human shield?

So he was mainly responsible for the team?

"You will formulate the battle plan and battle tactics."

Pu Shi nodded and looked at Fang Heng, "Don't have any psychological burden. The team's position, view, and movement must be centered around you. If there are any problems during the process, point them out immediately. We will all cooperate with you."

The players all looked at Fang Heng.

This time, Fang Heng had become the true core of the team.

….

After spending a whole morning in the fallen corridor, most of the players were tired and returned to the camp to rest.

After working hard for the whole morning, only Fang Heng, who acted as the human shield, support, and main force, was still alive and kicking.

Fang Heng felt that it was actually pretty good.

Inexplicably, he had become the team's main commander, leading a group of high-tier players to fight.

His status suddenly rose.

Li Qingran looked at Fang Heng, who was joking around with the players and sighed in her heart.

In other people's words, she was also a unique genius.

Compared to Fang Heng, Li Qingran felt inferior.

She and Instructor Pu Shi had been observing Fang Heng the whole morning, so they could see very clearly.

Fang Heng's talent for commanding was extraordinary. In just one morning, he was able to integrate with the team, and the efficiency of clearing the area had at least doubled compared to the beginning.

The team players were also very willing to cooperate with Fang Heng.

They felt that this teammate was fun to talk to, was rich, had no airs and was reliable. He had healing abilities and could also work in unexpected ways.

He was a good teammate.

After a period of collaboration, the efficiency could still be improved.

Pu Shi did not anticipate that one person could lead to the rapid enhancement of the team's combat ability.

Li Qingran said, "It seems that he is more suitable to lead the team than me."

Pu Shi shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own strengths. You don't have to be discouraged."

"Looking at him like this and referring to his background information, it's hard to imagine that he had a very unpleasant relationship with his teammates in the professional competition."

"This kind of game that fooled ordinary people shouldn't be taken seriously." Pu Shi snorted in disdain and said, "Preparations are already being made outside. The King Guards may already have consciousness. We need to adjust the emergency plan."

"Okay."

Fang Heng and the players ate lunch together. They chatted and bragged to increase their feelings until the end of the gathering. At this time, Fang Heng suddenly realized that he had already stood up Mo Jiawei and the others for half a day, so he used the excuse of cultivating the sacred study to quickly return to the tent.

When the team players saw Fang Heng acting out of the norm, they could not help but look at each other.

Cultivate?

That was strange. They had never seen him so eager before as compared to his slacker attitude last time.

"Humph, what are you all standing there for? Aren't you going to speed up your training?"

Instructor Pu Shi shook his head and brought a few necromancy attendants back to the tent to discuss the following tactical arrangements.

After working hard for half a day in the fallen corridor…

Go for training?

The players were speechless.

So, the students who were accepted by the Necromancer Association's instructors were all fighters?

…

After returning to the tent, Fang Heng closed his eyes and immediately returned to the game.

Wasteland World, District 11.

It was already past noon, more than seven hours later than the agreed time with Mo Jiawei.

Fang Heng woke up in the novice room of the Raptor Company's safe area.

The first thing Fang Heng did was to open the game log and quickly observe the situation of the zombie clones through the game hint.

Everything was fine!

Starting from six o'clock in the morning, all the zombie clones stopped production and waited for the birth of the proliferators.

The number of zombie clone proliferators also began to catch up, and the production capacity doubled!

The Lickers were also hiding near the mining area.

According to the log, within one day, the Lickers had only annihilated a dozen low-level mutants.

Putting away the game log, Fang Heng walked toward the safe area of the Raptor Company.

In the trading hall, there were fewer players than last night.

Along the way, Fang Heng noticed that many people were sizing him up, and many of them were whispering something.

Seeing Fang Heng's gaze, the players avoided him one after another, as if they did not want to cause trouble.

Fang Heng frowned. He could vaguely feel that the players' attitude was a little strange.

The players were indeed very surprised.

They also did not expect that the so-called Ark Gaming Company was actually for real.

In just one night, they really managed to produce a batch of ores!

How did they do it?

The players could not understand.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 801: Flaunting One's Wealth

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What made the players feel the most interesting was that Ark Company was fearless as they deliberately placed the ores at the entrance of the safe area to show off.

They did not have any preventive measures and just piled them there.

They even rented a temporary warehouse within Raptor Company and hired more than ten newbie players to move the ores back and forth.

This kind of behavior was more like showing off to the players.

On one hand, it was showing off the company's ability. To be able to dig so many ore mines in one night was indeed very impressive.

On the other hand, it was also to show Weixing Technology what they could do.

"Look, didn't you guys make it impossible for me to survive here? We even dug the ores here in front of you! What can you do?"

The player's hearts were filled with curiosity, wondering which company would dare to come and collect the Ark Company's goods.

At this moment, Zhao Xiu was also in the building.

He held onto the railing and looked down at Fang Heng.

Many of the players were spies of Weixing Technology. When Zhao Xiu woke up early in the morning, he immediately received news that the Ark Company had obtained the ores.

F*ck!

Zhao Xiu could not help but curse. How did the Ark Company get so many ores?

A player rushed over and whispered into Zhao Xiu's ear, "Brother Zhao, I've checked. Last night, only two large companies were collecting ores at night. They both said that they did not cooperate with the Ark Company."

"Are you sure?"

"I checked. There shouldn't be any. Moreover, based on their company scale, there's no need for them to mine such low-level ores, and there's no need for them to go against us."

"Tsk." Zhao Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to investigate and find out about the people behind Ark Company."

"Okay, I've already sent people to investigate, but Big Brother, they still have a lot of ores piled up at the door. I think they are just showing off to us. Shouldn't we send people to rob them?"

"Are you stupid? To make a move near the safe areas? Just for these few ores? Is it necessary?" Zhao Xiu spat at his subordinates, then, he looked down fiercely. "So what if they can dig up the ores? I'd like to see who dares to trade with them."

Below the hall, Fang Heng noticed the players' gazes and looked up.

"Boss Fang!"

Mo Jiawei had been waiting at the mission area. When he saw Fang Heng, he waved at him.

Fang Heng looked away from Zhao Xiu and walked toward Mo Jiawei.

"You've been waiting for a long time. There was a small problem at the fallen corridor, so there was a slight delay."

"It's fine. I'm here. The mining operation last night went smoothly."

Mo Jiawei had stayed up for more than half the night, but he was still in high spirits as he said, "Today, quite a few companies have come up to talk to me. They were asking me indirectly about where they got so many ores, but I didn't pay any attention to them. With one look, I can tell that they're here to gather information."

"Hmm."

Fang Heng hummed softly. He did not put his attention on these ordinary players.

"Also, I temporarily rented a warehouse to store the ores. We've collected enough ores for one night. Right, who are we going to sell the ores to?"

"The Raptor Company."

Fang Heng shrugged.

Trading with NPCs was the most convenient and efficient method. It was a direct payment and delivery.

At most, he would lose a little but he didn't care about such a small amount of money. He just thought it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Okay, I'll bring you along."

Mo Jiawei didn't have any objections to this. He followed Fang Heng back to the counter in the commission area.

"Hello, Raptor Company is providing you with a service. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Mo Jiawei moved closer to the counter and looked at the person behind the counter. "After completing Commission No. 2, we will submit the goods in Warehouse No. 7."

"The entire warehouse?"

The NPC behind the counter was a little surprised.

"Yes, the entire warehouse."

Fang Heng nodded and handed over his temporary identity card.

"Okay, thank you for your support to the Raptor Company. We will immediately send people to check the warehouse and analyze the ore grade."

The NPC cashier quickly entered the information on the main control board and looked at Fang Heng, he continued, "Mr. Fang, due to the different grades of the ores, the purchase price is also different. The company's staff will need some time to analyze and classify the ores."

"Raptor Company will provide you with 40,000 contribution points in advance. The remaining points will be automatically transferred to your contribution card after completing the inventory. In addition, due to the large number of missions you have completed, Raptor Company will upgrade your identity card for free."

[Hint: You have completed the mission-ore collection. You will receive 40,000 contribution points (the remaining points will be obtained after the Raptor Company has completed the calculation).]

[Hint: your friendship with the Raptor Company has increased significantly.]

[Hint: Your identity card has been upgraded.]

"Thank you."

Fang Heng shrugged. It was enough.

Since contribution points could only be counted as customer points after use, Fang Heng followed Mo Jiawei to the trading area.

The two of them thought for a moment and bought a large amount of basic protective suits, off-road vehicles for transportation, and the highest-tier multi-purpose pickaxe from Raptor Company.

The entire transaction was completed in public.

What was the meaning of this?

The players would never have thought that the Ark Company would actually hand over the ores they collected to Raptor Company.

They were also doing such a loss-making thing?

Moreover, what was the meaning of purchasing so many weapons, transportation equipment, and protective suits immediately after the transaction?

For a moment, the players had strange expressions on their faces. They whispered to each other and try to figure out the Ark Company's intentions.

"Old Zhang, what do you think?"

"In my opinion, the Ark Company is playing a very big game."

"Oh?"

"I think Ark Company is not ordinary." Old Zhang looked in the direction of Fang Heng and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Ark Company is showing off their wealth and ability. You see, they are directly trading with Raptor Company to send a message to the outside world. They are not afraid of being banned by Weixing Technology at all…"

"It seems that there's going to be a major change in our Tianlin mining area. Now, let's see how Weixing Technology will deal with it."

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei did not know that the other players who were whispering were talking about them.

The two of them discussed the next step of their plan.

Originally, they were prepared to leave immediately. However, there was still a large portion of the ores that had not been moved back to the warehouse yet.

Considering the follow-up farming operations, Mo Jiawei suggested that they might as well take the first step. First, they would fully utilize Raptor Company's off-road vehicles, helicopters, and advanced mining equipment. Then, they could earn contribution points, and by then, they could run to new areas and adapt quickly.

After all, it was more convenient to use the money to open a path.

Fang Heng thought that it made sense.

This area was filled with mines, so it was more convenient to earn money.

Since they were already here, it wouldn't be too late to leave tomorrow after earning another wave.

"I've done my research. This is a large-scale mining area. There are many mining sites five kilometers away from the east. Most players choose to mine during the day. The ores they obtain will be gathered in the safe areas, and they'll trade through Weixing Technology as a middleman."

Chapter 802: Waiting

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"We won't interact with the people from Weixing Technology. We'll choose the ores that Raptor Company purchased at the highest price to mine for the most profit," Mo Jiawei flipped through the map in his hand and continued, "I've chosen these two relatively high-level mining sites. Theoretically, we'll spend the whole night…"

As the two of them were talking, Zhao Xiu walked over with five or six people.

Zhao Xiu was furious.

What the heck, they sold the ores to the NPCs of the Raptor Company?!

Even if they lost money, they still wanted to make him suffer?

Zhao Xiu felt like he had been slapped in the face.

"Hey, you're blocking our way."

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Zhao Xiu.

Anyone found provoking and attacking within the safe areas would be punished by the Raptor Company. Therefore, they had to make a move.

Zhao Xiu didn't intend to move aside and blocked the way of Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei.

He stared at Fang Heng and said angrily, "Let me give you a reminder. Recently, the ore area hasn't been peaceful. It will be bad if we accidentally encounter mutated beasts when we are transporting materials back."

"Thank you. You too. Life isn't easy. Everyone has to be careful."

As Fang Heng spoke, he took a step forward and rammed into Zhao Xiu's shoulder.

"Dong…!"

Zhao Xiu felt that the front of his body was hit by a huge force. Even though he had already prepared for it, his body could not withstand it at all. He staggered backward and took a few steps back before he regained his balance.

"Stop right there!"

Zhao Xiu felt ashamed and flew into a rage out of humiliation. He pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Fang Heng's back.

However, Fang Heng did not turn his head and followed Mo Jiawei out of the Raptor Company's public trading area.

"Ha…"

Under the gazes of many players, Zhao Xiu's expression changed several times. In the end, he sneered and put away his pistol.

He really did not dare to make a move in the safe areas.

Being listed as an unwelcome target by the Raptor Company was no joke.

Forcing himself to calm down, Zhao Xiu pouted at the few players behind him.

"Go with them. See how they got so many ores."

A player with powerful combat talent?

So what?

Could he fight against five? Was he stronger than a beam weapon?

The more Zhao Xiu thought about it, the angrier he got. He once again stopped his subordinates. "Also, get Su Biao to go over as well. We'll make a move when we see the situation."

Looking at the group of people from Weixing Technology company who were running away in anger, the players in the hall became noisy again.

This was the first time Weixing Technology had suffered a loss.

Zhao Xiu was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If he suffered a loss, he would definitely get back at them.

A fight between two large companies? This was too interesting!

…

The mining rate at the ore points last night was too low, so the rate of getting contribution points was a little slow.

After Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei left, they headed toward the Northern region, preparing to find a higher-grade mining area.

As they walked forward, they entered a dense forest area.

"Cough, cough."

Mo Jiawei coughed lightly and stopped walking. He looked behind him and asked, "Fang Heng, so what are we going to do next? Keeping them alive will be very troublesome."

"Yeah, you're right. Let's get rid of them as soon as possible."

Fang Heng originally wanted to get some contribution points and leave.

He really didn't care about a third-rate gaming company.

However, now that the other party was relentless and came looking for him, there was nothing he could do.

As he spoke, Fang Heng stopped walking.

The two of them turned around and looked behind them.

After advancing to the demon hunter bloodline, Mo Jiawei's perception ability also greatly improved. He had long since sensed the players following behind him.

"I see you all. Come out."

Behind them, more than twenty players revealed themselves one after another.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a more robust figure. He looked like a martial artist.

He walked forward and carefully looked at Fang Heng.

Su Biao had always been active in this area.

As a hired hitman for Weixing Technology Company, he helped deal with the shady stuff.

For example, dealing with a 'thorn' like Fang Heng.

Fang Heng looked at the person who came, and there was no sign of panic on his face. He asked, "Zhao Xiu sent you here?"

"Yes."

Su Biao nodded. "Brother, I'm sorry. I take money from others and help them deal with disasters, it's part of my job, don't blame me."

As they spoke, Su Biao brought over twenty people and vaguely surrounded Fang Heng and the others in the center.

"Mm, you're right. However, your line of work is quite risky. If you're not careful, you might capsize."

Su Biao frowned. He felt that Fang Heng was stalling for time. He waved his hand and said, "Do it!"

Several players raised their shotguns and fired at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei at the same time.

Fang Heng just casually raised his hand forward.

"Buzz…"

Huh?!

Su Biao's pupils constricted.

To his surprise, a blood-red barrier opened up in front of Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei!

"Pa Pa Pa…"

All the incoming bullets were instantly repelled by the barrier!

What the hell was that?

Talent skill?!

"Chi Chi Chi…"

Before Su Biao could figure it out, a 'Chi-Chi' sound rang out beside his ears.

A mutant?!

Looking around, they saw a reptile creature crawling out from the surrounding bushes. Su Biao and the other player's faces instantly turned pale.

Due to being exposed to an unknown radiation environment for a long time, the Licker's skin had developed a large degree of festering.

Pus constantly emerged from the festering body, and almost every second, it was losing HP crazily.

However, the Licker was immune to the damage due to the effects of the undying body.

Therefore, at this moment, from the player's perspective, they could only see a crawling human-like deformed creature. Its entire body was oozing pus and blood. The pus and blood all over its face could not even be seen clearly. They could only see the outline of a skull.

Mutated beast!!

The players behind Su Biao could not help but tremble.

They were surrounded by a mutated beast that they had never seen before!

The Lickers, who were hiding in the forest, adjusted the angle of their attack and slowly revealed themselves. They gradually approached Su Biao and the players in the middle.

In an instant, Zhao Xiu's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat. He immediately raised his hand to signal for a ceasefire. He told the players not to act rashly and provoke the hostile mutated beast.

"Hiss!!"

The group of Lickers let out a soft sound and leaped forward from their original position. At the same time, they launched a surprise attack on the players.

"Bang!! Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Without waiting for Su Biao's order, the players frantically pulled the trigger in their hands.

For elementary players, their offensive methods were extremely lacking. Guns were the most practical weapons!

However, they were ineffective!

The Lickers ignored the gun attacks!

Su Biao watched as his subordinates were wiped out by the mutated beasts without any resistance.

In less than half a minute, more than twenty mutated beasts surrounded Su Biao.

Su Biao's face turned extremely pale. He watched as the mutated beasts made a path for him.

Then, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei walked toward him.

Su Biao looked at Fang Heng in fear. He felt a chill run through his body from the bottom of his feet. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

So…

This group of mutated beasts was controlled by him from behind?

"I heard that Weixing Technology Company also has a few teams that are collecting ores nearby, right?"

Fang Heng took a few steps forward as he spoke. He looked at Su Biao and said, "Alright, tell me their locations and I'll let you go. That's very fair, right?"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 803: One Wave

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

His life was his.

Without thinking, Su Biao quickly took out a map from his backpack.

"There are only two mining teams directly under Weixing Technology Company. The mining teams are all accompanied by guards, and they are all marked on the map."

Fang Heng took the map in satisfaction.

"Very good, you can leave now."

Su Biao raised his eyebrows.

After confirming that Fang Heng really intended to let him escape, he quickly ran away without looking back.

"Fang Heng, you're just going to let him escape like that?"

Mo Jiawei watched Su Biao run away and came up to him. He looked at the map in Fang Heng's hand and asked, "There won't be any problems, right?"

"Old Mr. Mo, you should at least leave a way out for others. After all, I'm not a bad person."

Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng suspiciously, thinking to himself that he had never seen him leave a way out for anyone in the Vampire Apocalypse.

"Ahem," Fang Heng coughed lightly and explained, "It's troublesome over at the fallen corridor. I can't stay in the game for too long, so I let him go back to inform the others. I hope that Weixing Technology can ambush over there in advance. Then we can settle them in one shot and they won't create trouble for me again and again."

Mo Jiawei gave Fang Heng a 'you really aren't that kind' look.

Fang Heng opened the map and quickly observed for a while. Then, he controlled the Lickers and the zombie clones to gather at the abandoned mine.

"Let's go to the abandoned mine first. Then, we'll give Weixing Technology some time to gather more people."

On the other hand, Su Biao didn't expect Fang Heng to have such a vicious plan. He ran crazily into the forest, afraid that Fang Heng would suddenly go back on his word.

A guy who could control mutated beasts!

Only when he left the forest did Su Biao heave a sigh of relief. He felt as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

F*ck!

This time, he had been scammed by Weixing Technology's people!

They even said that there were only two of them and that this mission was very simple…

That bunch of scammers.

As he was thinking, Su Biao immediately contacted Zhao Xiu.

…

Zhao Xiu and his team had been staying in the safe areas all this time.

He was a little frustrated.

His subordinates had been searching for a long time, but they still couldn't find any clues related to Ark Company.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xiu felt that it was strange.

How did Ark Company collect so many ores last night? Could it be that they found a new mine? Moreover, the mining efficiency was also a little abnormal.

Before he could think of a way to figure it out, a subordinate rushed over.

"Boss Zhao, the team that was sent over was all wiped out. Only Su Biao was left running back. He said that the other party could control very strong mutated beasts…"

Zhao Xiu was stunned when he heard that.

What was going on? The team was wiped out?!

There was even an enhanced mutated beast?

Zhao Xiu was not able to react immediately.

"Yes, Su Biao fought to the death to escape. He said that the other party is still asking about our company's mining team. He felt that they would make a move against the mining team."

Zhao Xiu opened his mouth.

"Ark Company…"

They must be crazy!

Did they dare to wipe out Weixing Technology Company's team?

And they were even asking about the company's mining team?! They were preparing to take the initiative to attack?!

What on earth were they trying to do?

After the initial shock, Zhao Xiu immediately sneered.

They thought that controlling the mutated beasts was amazing.

They still dared to come knocking on their door, right?

…

Two hours later, in a chrome mining area outside of the safe area.

Weixing Technology was a large-scale company. It had industries all over the Wasteland World. In the Tianlin mining area, the company had adopted a strategic layout of 'grasping the big and letting go of the small' in which things were prioritized.

On one hand, the company sent two elite mining teams to collect the best rare ore spots in the mining area. On the other hand, they borrowed the strength of the players and used protection fees to jointly develop small and medium-sized ore resources.

After receiving the report from Su Biao, Zhao Xiu immediately gathered all his men and led all of Weixing Technology's combat teams to support the mining area.

Mutated beast?

So what!

"Su Biao is becoming more and more useless. He can't even handle a few rookies."

"Yes, yes, yes…" one of his subordinates nodded and bowed, he smiled apologetically and said, "Su Biao is more capable of fighting, but they don't have enough equipment, and their weapons are limited in power. Speaking of which, Ark Company looks quite strange. They can even control mutated beasts…"

Listening to his subordinate's explanation, Zhao Xiu felt disdain in his heart.

Mutated beasts that could ignore bullets?

He felt that Su Biao was full of nonsense and was making excuses for his incompetence.

If what Su Biao said was true, and the mutated beasts controlled by Ark Company were really that strong, then they would have long gone to fight for hegemony in the apocalyptic world. Why would they be interested in this run-down mining area?

What was wrong with their brains?

Zhao Xiu gathered a team of nearly fifty people and went to the mining area to meet up with the guards.

A team of about a hundred people was indeed powerful.

"Such a big lineup? Manager Zhao, did you have to come personally?"

Captain Cheng Han of the team guarding the mines also received the news that Su Biao's team was annihilated.

He and Zhao Xiu were thinking about the same thing. He felt that Su Biao was looking for an excuse for his incompetence. Both of them did not take Ark Company to heart.

"Tsk, I didn't want to come either, but there are always people who are blind."

Zhao Xiu came here this time to thoroughly settle Ark Company and at the same time to intimidate the players in the Tianlin mining area who had other intentions.

"Teach them a lesson they will never forget."

"I understand."

As the two of them were talking, suddenly, there was a sizzling sound outside the mining area.

Hearing this sound, Su Biao, who was guarding the area on the right, had a thought. He quickly walked over and reminded him, "Manager Zhao, they're here. They're mutated beasts. You must be careful. I suggest that we focus on defense."

"I know."

Zhao Xiu didn't take Su Biao's words to heart. He followed Cheng Han and sized up the outside world.

Eh?!

Cheng Han's heart trembled.

What kind of creature was that?

In the outside world, strange life forms crawled out from the bushes.

They crawled on the ground. Their limbs looked extremely strange, and their appearance had been completely festered by the radiation. Pus and blood kept bubbling out, and their white teeth were exposed, they looked especially ferocious.

"Fire! Fire!"

Cheng Han felt that something was wrong. He shouted and took the lead to raise his weapon and fire at the mutated creatures outside!

The equipment level of the elite team of Weixing Technology Company was completely different from the equipment level of Su Biao's team!

They were all excellent standard equipment!

In the Wasteland Apocalypse, Raptor Company provided systematic skill teaching and standard equipment to the outside world.

From low-tier to high-tier, everything was available.

As long as the player had enough contribution points to exchange for it, even the helicopter gunships were sold to the public.

"Bang Bang!!!"

Dense artillery shells fell on the group of Lickers.

Enhanced special bullets landed on the deformed body, exploding balls of pus and blood, causing the deformed body to retreat and lose limbs!

At first glance, the visual effect was very good.

Huh?!

What was this situation?!

As they fought, the players discovered that something was wrong.

The vitality of this group of deformed creatures was terrifyingly strong!

Chapter 804: Excavation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhao Xiu's expression changed slightly as well.

"Why can't they be killed?!"

Zhao Xiu personally witnessed a mutant being sent flying by a barrage of bullets, with dozens of holes in its body! If it were any other known mutant of the same species, it would already be dead.

However, after it landed on the ground, it actually rolled on the ground, and the wounds on its body quickly healed. Then, it rapidly attacked the entrance of the mining area.

The recovery ability of the mutated beast was shocking!

Cheng Han's expression was also solemn. He quickly took out an explosive bomb and threw it at the mutated beasts on the field.

"Boom!"

The bomb exploded with a loud 'Bang'!

It was still ineffective!!

The explosion blew up a small group of Lickers in the surroundings. However, they rolled on the ground again and struggled to pounce toward the entrance of the mining area.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Xiu was really panicking now.

He had never seen a mutated beast with such tenacious vitality!

Cheng Han did not answer. He did not know either. He signaled the team to use their powerful firepower to suppress the attacks of the mutated beasts.

Zhao Xiu gritted his teeth and took out an energy beam weapon from his backpack

In the Wasteland World, energy beam weapons were extremely rare weapons. They were top-tier weapons and ammunition replenishment was also very expensive.

"Whoosh!!!!"

A beam of light pierced through the body of the incoming mutated beast, leaving a bloody hole in its body. The mutated beast was also sent flying.

Zhao Xiu stared at the mutated beast.

He could not imagine it.

What kind of mutation was it?

Even a top-tier beam weapon could not kill it?!

The beam bullet pierced through the body of the mutated beast, but it could not cause any fatal damage to it!

After landing on the ground, the Licker's wound that was caused by the energy beam weapon quickly healed.

More and more Lickers emerged from the dense forest. They withstood the powerful firepower of the players from Weixing Technology Company and quickly approached the entrance of the mining area.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Zhao Xiu's forehead. He could not help but shout, "Quickly think of a way!"

This group of mutated beasts was too terrifying. Just by looking at their sharp claws, one could tell that they were close-combat-type creatures. Once they were at close range…

If they couldn't defeat them at a distance, it was even more impossible for them to defeat them at close range!

Escape?!

At this moment, Zhao Xiu suddenly realized that they were extremely foolish to guard the mining area!

The back of the mining area was a dead end.

There was no way to escape from this place!

They were blocked at the intersection!

"Whoosh!!!!"

The first Licker broke through the dense firepower net and pounced in front of the player.

Zhao Xiu was terrified.

It was exactly as Zhao Xiu had expected.

The sharp claws of the Licker easily tore open the protective suit of his companion.

Blood splattered out from the protective suit.

The surrounding teammates were being massacred continuously!

Suddenly, Zhao Xiu realized something. It was Su Biao!

"Su Biao!!"

At this moment, Su Biao was shooting hard to resist the approaching group of Lickers. Right now, he was extremely regretful. He regretted that he came here to look for trouble. Couldn't he have escaped earlier?

Zhao Xiu saw the evasive look in Su Biao's eyes and was even more certain of his guess. "Did you do it!"

"What?"

"Did you lure us here? Did you take the money from Ark Company? Do you think we'll let you off?"

"Are you f*cking crazy!"

Only then did Su Biao realize that he had been suspected. He immediately defended himself. "I've already told you that there's something wrong with this group of mutated beasts! You guys just don't believe me!"

"Bullsh*t! A high-energy beam gun can even kill a Tier 5 mutated beast. How can it be useless against them?!"

In his rage, Zhao Xiu pointed the muzzle of his gun at Su Biao and shouted crazily, "You think that these life forms are just normal low-level mutated beasts? Tell me, how did you escape from the encirclement of so many mutated beasts? Huh?!"

Facing Zhao Xiu's questioning, Su Biao was at a loss for words.

"Chi!"

In the next second, a mutant covered in pus flashed in front of his eyes and threw Zhao Xiu to the ground.

The mutated beasts pounced on him one after another, tearing Zhao Xiu into pieces and biting him.

Su Biao realized that everything that had happened more than an hour ago had happened in front of his eyes once again.

The mutated beasts had barged into the entrance of the mining area, and a large number of his companions had been slaughtered in front of his eyes.

And those mutated beasts just wouldn't lay their hands on him!

In less than a minute, almost everyone except Su Biao was dead.

About forty mutated beasts surrounded Su Biao in the middle.

The group of Lickers gave way to a small path.

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei slowly walked out from behind, sizing up Su Biao.

Su Biao's eyes were filled with fear.

He felt his throat was extremely dry.

"You…"

"You've worked hard." Fang Heng shrugged and looked at Su Biao. "Aren't you going to leave?"

Su Biao gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. He turned around and fled.

Mo Jiawei, who was by Fang Heng's side, asked, "Are you going to let him escape again?"

"Don't go overboard. We're all workers. There's no need to be so ruthless. After all, I'm not a bad person."

Fang Heng said as he walked into the mining area.

Mo Jiawei shook his head and sighed. "Why do I feel that he'll be more unlucky if we let him go back?"

"Whatever. Letting him go back will help us promote our Ark Technology more or less so that we won't be disturbed when we're mining."

Fang Heng sized up the mining area cave and said, "This mining area seems pretty good. We should be able to earn a lot of contribution points in one night."

While talking, the two of them entered the depths of the mining area.

Fang Heng changed his plan and occupied the magpie's nest.

He called the Lickers to the mining area and stayed in the nearby area to scout. Then, he controlled the normal zombies to enter the mining area and start collecting the iron ores.

Earlier on, Fang Heng went shopping in the Raptor Company, and the zombie clones changed into the new protective suits.

The second-hand protective suit was the most inferior one, which was obtained by sewing and mending the abandoned protective suit.

It was cheap, and the protective suit could only last for about 60 minutes.

The protective suit could cover the whole body anyway. As long as they were a little further away, it would be difficult for others to find out that they were zombies.

It could more or less maintain a little mystery.

Soon, the zombies in the tattered protective suit staggered into the mining area under Fang Heng's control. They raised the high-tier multi-functional pickaxes provided by the Raptor Company and started digging.

[Hint: You explored the mining area with your exploration skill. Currently, 43%-77% of the minerals are left.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained Tier 1 bloodstone*1… ]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained Tier 2 chrome crystal ore*5…]

[Hint: Your…]

A line of game hints began to appear on the screen.

Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.

Wasteland Apocalypse. The ordinary player had to be on guard against the attacks of the mutated beasts while mining. They had to be prepared for the durability of the protective suit and maintain their stamina at all times.

However, the zombie clones didn't have such concerns.

Radiation couldn't kill them anyway, and their stamina was limitless. There were Lickers guarding the periphery area as well.

When they were disturbed by ignorant mutants, they were disposed of on the spot, becoming evolution crystals required for Fang Heng to level up.

Chapter 805: Commission

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Very good, perfect cycle, unlimited mining.

Fang Heng stretched his back and started to set up the mining production line just like last night.

With the carts he bought previously, the flow of mining and collecting ores would be faster.

He could directly transport the ores back and find Raptor Company to complete the mission.

Considering that he might encounter trouble during the transportation process, he had to let the Lickers accompany him to protect him.

Then, after returning to the Raptor Company to submit the mission, he had more advanced mining tools, more carts, and more protective suits.

With more materials, he could increase the mining efficiency even more…

Well, if everything went smoothly, he could empty the entire mine tonight.

Right, if the zombies entered the safe areas, they would be judged as intruders.

For safety reasons, the zombie clones could only temporarily store the materials in the periphery of the safe areas.

The last step was to move the materials into the storage room, which could only be handled by the players.

It would be difficult to complete the last part of the road with just the ten or so newbies.

They still had to think of a way to recruit more workers.

The people from Weixing Technology had been chased away, so it shouldn't be difficult to recruit more people, right?

…

In the safe areas of Raptor Company's Tianlin mining area, more and more players gathered together, discussing the rumors outside.

The mining team of Weixing Technology Company had been attacked, and the entire team had been wiped out completely!

It was rumored that Ark Technology Company was the one who had done it and had stabbed them in the back.

Was it really that powerful?!

The players couldn't get any definite information, so they all gathered together to discuss.

"F*ck, something really happened. The Ark Companyis back. They're piling up ores outside."

Hearing someone shouting, the players ran out of the safe areas to watch.

D*mn, it really was true!

The players looked at a group of people in protective suits pushing cart after cart, transporting the carts of ores and materials to the open space outside the shelter.

"It's chrome ores and a small number of bloodstone ores."

From afar, a player raised his binoculars to observe the resources on the carts. "It should be the initial mining area that belongs to Point G."

The players could not help but fall into silence again when they heard this.

The mines in that mining area were extremely excellent, and the ore yield was also high. It had always been occupied by Weixing Technology Company.

It seemed that the rumors were not wrong. Weixing Technology Company's mining group had really been completely destroyed by Ark Company!

After piling the resources on the carts near the safe areas, the group of players pushed the carts back the way they came.

Seeing this scene, the players looked at each other with doubt in their hearts.

What was Ark Companyplaying at?

It was too strange!

They had already sent the ores to the entrance, why didn't they complete the last step of the transportation?

A few hours later, a few small hills of ore piled up at the entrance of the mining area.

There was still an endless stream of Ark Company's personnel transporting the ores back.

The players who came and went did not dare to act recklessly.

Fang Heng's company strength was much stronger than they had expected.

What a joke. Ark Company could even kill Weixing Technology Company with a single punch. The remaining players still wanted to continue living in the Tianlin mining area. They did not dare to seek death and snatch the resources.

"Brother, the tide has changed. In my opinion, Ark Company is showing off its strength. Look at how much time has passed. They have already dug so many ores. I think Ark Companyis warning us that they have the ability to eat up all the mining areas by themselves."

The nearby players also pondered upon hearing this.

It seemed to be the case.

The players immediately felt a sense of crisis and hurriedly said, "Go and ask around. Do you have any cooperation projects with the Ark Company? See if there's any soup that we can drink together."

"Right, right, right. Quickly go and ask around. No matter how powerful Ark Company is, they can't possibly eat all of it in one go, right?"

…

Fang Heng quickly went offline after he finished arranging the assembly line production.

It had been five hours since he went online again.

The newly occupied mining area was a rich mine. In theory, five hours was enough to gather a large number of contribution points.

Fang Heng planned to hack in here for another night. Tomorrow, he would leave with a large number of contribution points and go to another place to grind evolution crystals.

After returning to the shelter, Fang Heng went straight to the central trading hall.

Mo Jiawei and Sandy were discussing something in the corner of their home. The latter's face was beaming.

Fang Heng found the two of them and looked at Mo Jiawei suspiciously. "What's going on? Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Uh…"

"I don't know what's going on. When I came back, there was a crazy rumor that our Ark Technology Company has monopolized this place. If you want to do business here, you have to get our permission."

"They're all asking me what business we can cooperate with. There are already quite a few who want to buy chrome ores from us…"

Mo Jiawei scratched his head and explained with a wry smile, "I was annoyed by them, so I just casually said that everything here is the same as before."

"Oh right, many small teams directly gave me 20% of their contribution points in tax transactions. I was careful and said that I would only accept contribution points and Tier 1 and Tier 2 evolution crystal as trading units. There are also many people who are secretly asking about the cooperation…"

There was no reason not to accept contribution points that were given away for free, right?

Mo Jiawei explained as he pointed into the distance. "Yes, those are the people who gave Sandy the artwork to ask about the cooperation."

"Oh right, there are also a few small companies that help us transport ores and provide free labor. They are very enthusiastic and have been asking about the cooperation."

Fang Heng finally understood.

After Weixing Technology Company was chased away by them, the player might mistakenly think that the Ark Company controlled this area.

Those who should pay protection fees should pay protection fees, and those who should give gifts should give gifts.

"Good guy, you are still familiar with the unorthodox ways." Fang Heng sighed in his heart.

[Hint: You have received 8,772 Raptor Company contribution points from Mo Jiawei.]

It had only been a few hours, and the protection fee was already close to 10,000?

Fang Heng pondered, thinking that collecting protection fees was also a huge profit.

"Let's go, we'll submit the mission first."

Fang Heng was still prepared to directly trade with Raptor Company.

It was for the sake of convenience and speed. Trading with other companies was not that fast.

Trading with a player also required a lot of time to split the ores, which was easy to cause trouble.

The three of them came to the counter of the mission commission office together.

The NPC behind the counter greeted the big customer warmly, "Thank you for your contribution to the Raptor Company."

[Hint: You have submitted the special ores in Warehouses No. 28 and 29. You have completed the mission-high-tier special metal ore collection.]

[Hint: You have received 1800,000 contribution points from the Raptor Company in advance (the remaining contribution points will be transferred directly to the identity card after the Raptor Company has finished counting the ores).]

[Hint: Your friendship with Raptor Company has greatly increased.]

Chapter 806: Sales

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

1,800,000!

High-tier metals were really valuable.

Fang Heng thought that if he could hack in a little more tonight, he could dig out the entire mine and earn a few million contribution points.

Contribution points should be enough for a short period of time.

Helicopters and off-road vehicles should be exchanged after entering the new area.

"How about this? If there's nothing else, I'll get off first. We'll continue to hack in tonight and go to the new location tomorrow."

Fang Heng didn't want to stay in the Wasteland World for too long. From the beginning, he had the intention of leaving with just a small profit. He called Mo Jiawei and Sandy to walk towards the trading area.

Mo Jiawei nodded. "Alright, leave this to me. I'll find out where is suitable to grind crystals tonight."

The three of them had just walked out of the trading area as they spoke when a young man wearing a black suit and tie walked towards them. He was dressed like an elite in the workplace.

"Hi! Nice to meet you. You must be Fang Shuo!"

When Li Wenbo saw Fang Heng, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hi, nice to meet you. It's a great pleasure to meet you. To be able to get so many ores to help our Raptor Company, you've really helped us a lot!"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Li Wenbo, the sales general manager of Raptor Company's Northwest region."

Li Wenbo looked very young.

When he heard that there was a large number of rare ores in the warehouse, he was overjoyed and immediately brought his subordinates over to take a look.

The current situation was different from the past. In this day and age, players had learned the wrong things and traded ores to NPCs to recover their losses.

Their company's business was also becoming more and more difficult.

The pressure on the sales results was extremely great.

"Hello, hello."

Unable to resist Li Wenbo's enthusiasm, Fang Heng shook hands with him.

[Hint: Your friendship with Li Wenbo has greatly increased.]

[Hint: Your VIP membership in Raptor Company has been temporarily raised to Level 20.]

Li Wenbo saw the incoming and outgoing materials being loaded into the company's warehouse by the staff of Raptor Company. He felt indescribably comfortable, and his favorability rating with Fang Heng was slowly rising.

Recently, the business had been getting more and more difficult, and Li Wenbo had lost a lot of hair because of this.

"Brother Fang Shuo, our company has a huge shortage of ore-type materials. In the future, if you encounter any problems in the process of trading, you can come to me. I can provide you with all-rounded preferential treatment."

"Also, I have a lot of high-level equipment here. Raptor Company only sells to high-quality customers. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied. I'll give you a raise in the privilege level. Ordinary people won't be able to enjoy it."

"En, thank you."

Fang Heng hummed a polite "En" and gave a perfunctory thanks.

As the players gradually spent more and more time in the Wasteland Apocalypse, handing over the materials to Raptor Company to convert their contribution points gradually became a relatively stupid behavior.

Including the Federation, the major player guilds would also purchase ore-type materials, using the real world's currency.

An important piece of equipment from the Raptor Company?

Fang Heng really didn't care about it.

At most, he would have to exchange for a high-tier human freezing chamber. When the time came, he would have to think of a way to split it up and bring it back for research.

Just thinking about it was a little troublesome.

Some of the items would be inspected when they returned to the game world through the teleportation disc. They would have to pay an additional King of Gods' points before they were allowed to enter.

Li Wenbo noticed the expression on Fang Heng's face, and he couldn't help but frown.

He realized that this storyline didn't seem quite right. Fang Heng wasn't interested in the special, high-quality equipment he had provided.

It wasn't easy to find a 'sucker' like Fang Heng, and Li Wenbo didn't want to give up so easily.

"Eh? You don't seem very interested?"

Li Wenbo continued to probe. "To be honest, there really isn't much worth exchanging for those trash items in the normal exchange areas outside, but it's different here. Oh right, the temporary exchange authority given to you allows you to exchange for high-tier items. You can exchange for anything you want…"

"Huh? Everything? Really?"

Mo Jiawei chatted casually, expressing his doubt.

"Of course, we have so many things that you can't imagine. I can personally give you a 95% discount. This is the highest discount I can offer with my authority."

"Really?" Mo Jiawei pointed casually and said, "Then how much is this shelter?"

"Haha, you have a good eye. This shelter is a super-sized shelter established by Raptor Company. Its internal integration includes communication, teleportation, entertainment, storage, security, research, and other equipment…"

"There are also a lot of mining areas nearby. To be honest, there are not more than a dozen shelters higher than this one in Raptor Company. It's definitely one of the best…"

Li Bowen introduced everything enthusiastically and made a hand gesture.

"Now, you only need 500 million contribution points to get this shelter. It's super cost-effective, right?"

Huh?!

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were stunned at the same time, and they exchanged glances.

What a guy. He really intended to sell it?!

He was not joking at all?

Faced with this enthusiastic salesman, Fang Heng suddenly thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the staff? Are the staff also included in the package?"

"Of course. We don't lie to anyone. Our Raptor Company's reputation has always been very good. You can ask around about this."

Fang Heng felt a little strange.

What was Raptor Company's background? They even sold shelters?

But…

It was just a shelter.

What was the use?

The research personel in the shelter was more attractive but he couldn't bring them back.

As they spoke, Fang Heng followed Li Wenbo to the trading area.

Under Li Wenbo's repeated recommendations, Fang Heng followed him to the trading panel.

After roughly scanning through the exchangeable items, Fang Heng was still uninterested.

Some of the high-tier energy beam weapons provided by Raptor Company were actually quite good.

Unfortunately, the zombie clones couldn't use these things, and he couldn't bring them back to Zombie Apocalypse.

It was useless.

"Is that all?"

Eh? Still not satisfied?

Li Wenbo was even more surprised.

"Of course, there are more exchangeable items provided by Raptor Company, but, you know, some things need to reach the VIP level. Moreover, Raptor Company's external sales need to go through the approval of the company's upper management. It's hard for me to do anything without reaching the VIP level."

Li Wenbo pretended to be mysterious. "But I can assure you that the things our company can provide you are absolutely unique!"

"Really? That's a pity. I don't have time. Let's work together in the future."

Fang Heng didn't buy it at all. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I have other things to do. Prepare the space tearing device. We'll leave soon."

"Hey, wait."

Li Wenbo had never seen Fang Heng act so irrationally. He hurriedly followed Fang Heng and pulled him back.

Chapter 807: VIP

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was not easy to find such a capable player. Li Wenbo did not want to give up so easily.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave."

"Alright, I'll only tell you one person in secret. As long as you can help me collect a special high-Tierore that the company urgently needs, I'll temporarily raise your quota to the highest. How about it? It's worth it, right? Trust me, it's definitely worth it. We have everything here. As long as you can help me collect from the mutated form lair…"

"Huh?"

Fang Heng suddenly stopped walking.

He turned to look at Li Wenbo behind him.

"What did you say? Mutated form lair?"

"Ah, right."

Li Wenbo was also stunned. He didn't expect Fang Heng's focus to be so strange. He immediately explained, "It's a mining area that is occupied by a large number of mutated creatures. There is a nest of mutated creatures inside. The level of the mutated creatures is around Tier2-3, and a small number are at Tier4."

"Due to the influence of radiation, our company found that a very small part of the ore structure in the world had some special mutations. Many mutated creatures like to stay around the mutated ore and absorb the energy waves released by the mutated ore."

"Some research says that they can use the strength of these ores to increase their strength."

"Some time ago, our company discovered a nest that was occupied by the mutated forms not too far away. Very few people dare to go there."

Seeing that Fang Heng was suddenly interested, Li Wenbo tried to continue to seduce him. "I feel that with your company's ability, you can definitely do it. The reserves of the mutated ores in that area are not much."

"If you help me with this, I'll help you unlock the highest level of VIP temporarily. If ordinary people want to unlock this level, they'll need to spend at least two billion contribution points. What do you think?"

Fang Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Have you confirmed the level of the mutated form?"

"I've confirmed it. It's about Level 2 to 4. I won't lie to you. Although there's no energy reaction, it doesn't rule out the possibility of the existence of a high-Tiercommander-level creature. The possibility is very small."

"Deal."

"Huh?"

Li Wenbo was stunned when he heard that. He revealed a happy expression and hurriedly followed.

"You agreed? When are we going to set off?"

"Yes, right now."

Fang Heng nodded.

He didn't care about unlocking the Raptor Company's VIP level. At most, it was just a bonus.

He was more interested in the mutated form nest.

A place where monsters could be killed.

He had never really fought with a group of mutated forms in the Wasteland Apocalypse.

He had to give it a try.

Tier 2 to Tier 3 mutated forms happened to drop Tier 1 evolution crystals. It was suitable for him to farm crystals to level up.

"Now? It's too late, isn't it?"

Li Wenbo felt a little strange, but he still patted Fang Heng's shoulder and said enthusiastically, "Then it's a deal, Brother. This mining area is very troublesome. Don't say that I'm unkind. I can personally mobilize a team to help you."

[Hint: Player accepts team mission-collect mutated gamma metal ore.]

Mission name: Collect mutated gamma metal ore.

Type: Large team mission.

Mission difficulty: A.

Mission description: Please follow Li Wenbo into the mutated mining area and collect the mutated gamma metal ore. Please pay attention to a large number of mutated beasts in the mining area.

Mission requirements: Obtain at least 500 units of mutated gamma metal ores and protect Li Wenbo's safety.

Remaining time limit: 30 Days (additional contribution points and Raptor Company's friendship can be obtained by acquiring more mutated gamma metal forms within the time limit).

Mission reward: Raptor Company will purchase mutated gamma metal forms at a price of 100,000 per unit. After completing the mission, your Raptor Company's VIP level will be temporarily raised to the highest level (lasts for 3 months).

Fang Heng quickly glanced at the mission description.

Large team missions. The time given for the mission difficulty was very generous, and the difficulty was not high either.

"No, no, no, we do not need the Raptor Company's mercenary."

Mo Jiawei, who was following Fang Heng, also received the mission hint. Upon hearing this, he immediately waved his hand to reject it.

He was too familiar with the NPC's routine.

It didn't cost him to borrow a mercenary, but it would cost him money to repair the weapon.

If a mercenary died by accident, then he would be embarrassed.

There was no discussion about ripping you off!

"You really don't need it?" Li Wenbo blinked, "Fang Shuo, the mutated beast over there still has some combat strength. I suggest that you don't underestimate the enemy too much. How about this, I can provide you with a low-interest loan of up to one million contribution points…"

Fang Heng turned his head and asked, "Are mercenaries free?"

"Of course, and they are all professionally trained by Raptor."

"What about the initial equipment? Don't tell me I have to pay for the equipment to be rented?"

"Of course ordinary people need it, but since we have such a good relationship, I'll waive it for you."

Li Wenbo acted like a good brother.

No one could tell that the two of them had only known each other for less than half an hour.

Fang Heng nodded. "That's not bad. I'll take it."

Huh?

Mo Jiawei was stunned. What was Fang Heng doing?

Fang Heng continued to ask, "When can the mercenary group complete their assembly? Oh right, empty the warehouse again. I don't want to go through so much trouble the next time the ore is transported back. Also, you'll also provide the mercenary's protective suit, right?"

"Hahaha, of course. We have a good relationship. I can also give you the protective suit."

"Not bad, thank you."

Half an hour later, with the rising moon, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei left the shelter with more than 50 mercenaries from the Raptor Company.

The nosy players watched from afar and discussed at the entrance.

Seeing the Raptor Company's gold-medal salesman, Li Wenbo, the player pointed and gossiped.

"They should be going to the mutated mining area, right?"

"Yeah, you guessed right. I've asked around. It was Li Wenbo who personally came to ask for help."

"Hey, it's that b*stard again. Well, they fell into a trap again."

"Another one who was tricked…"

Hearing that Fang Heng had accepted Li Wenbo's special mission, the players all had the mentality of watching the show.

Any player who had stayed in the shelter for a longer period of time would know about Li Wenbo's sinkhole mission.

It was full of holes from start to finish.

The mutated forms entrenched in the mutated mining area was only one of the holes.

After expending a lot of effort to clean up the mutated mining area, the subsequent excavations were full of holes.

The mutated gamma metal ore was a high-tier mutated ore. Not only did it require the support of a high-tier ore skill, but it also consumed a lot of stamina and time.

The most troublesome thing was that the mutated gamma metal ore had its own radiation effect, which rapidly reduced the durability of the protective suit.

The sound produced during mining would also attract the mutated forms in the nearby area to gather.

Especially at night, large groups of mutated forms would come to the door almost continuously, interrupting the mining progress.

Players had fought with the mutated forms during the day and dug for a day, so naturally, they would go back to rest at night.

The next day, when they come back, the mining area will be occupied by a large number of mutated beasts.

Many large companies, including Weixing Technology, had tried this sinkhole mission before. In the end, they all realized that the rewards were not proportional to the effort, so they all chose to give up.

For large player companies, if they increased their investment, it was not necessarily impossible. It was just that it was not worth it. There was no need to bear a large loss to complete this mission.

Fang Heng knew nothing about this.

His biggest goal was not to mine, but to farm monsters.

Leaving the shelter, the party arrived at the periphery of the shelter.

Fang Heng raised his hand to signal the mercenary team to stop.

Li Wenbo looked at Fang Heng strangely. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. The mission location is here."

Fang Heng looked at the mercenary team captain brought by Li Wenbo, "Today's mission is very simple. We need everyone to stay here and guard. Our people from Ark Technology will transport the materials here. Then, we need you to transport the materials back to the safe areas."

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Mo Jiawei suddenly understood.

He understood!

The high-end combat strength that they had requested from the Raptor Company was not for fighting.

It was simply to be used as coolies!

Big Brother was playing his game!

However, the number of mutated forms that appeared in the vicinity of the safe areas was almost non-existent.

A total of 50 members of Raptor Company's elite group was enough to protect the ores. It was impossible for them to be in any danger.

With them, they were not afraid of other players snatching the ores.

Killing two birds with one stone!

"Ah, this…"

Fang Heng's actions were really unexpected to Li Wenbo.

"Let's go."

After giving his instructions, Fang Heng opened the game hint and controlled the group of Lickers to gather.

Li Wenbo looked around suspiciously and confirmed with Fang Heng again, "Are we going to the mutated mining area? Just the three of us?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

Li Wenbo thought that Fang Heng was only going to investigate this time. He nodded and led the two of them to the mutated mining area.

…

Having fewer people was a great advantage for sneaking in.

The night was very good, and the visibility was also good too.

Soon, the two of them entered the mutated mining area under Li Wenbo's lead.

Behind a protruding rock, Li Wenbo poked his head out.

He pointed at a relatively empty area not far away.

"Look over there. That's the mutated mining area that I told you about."

There was a deep pit in the middle of the open space.

Along the way, Li Wenbo and Fang Heng introduced the situation of the mine.

The mutated mining area was discovered after the end of the Wasteland World.

Since it was discovered, the excavators began to dig into the ground, creating a huge pit with uneven pits.

"The pit has already been dug a few times. There should be a lot of mutated ores inside."

Li Wenbo explained in a low voice as he pointed at a few brown rocks scattered in the area of the pit.

"Oh right, look at those rocks. Is there something on them?"

Upon closer inspection, there was a small creature crouching on top of the rocks.

It was about the size of a palm and looked a little like a lizard. It was grayish-brown like the rocks, so it was not easy to be discovered at first glance.

They lay on the rock motionlessly.

"They are also mutated creatures. They are very timid and will spit out acidic liquid when they encounter danger. Once the acidic liquid touches the protective suit, it will create a hole. You must be careful when digging."

"Also, those plants have gone through radiation and have mutated. The edges of their branches and leaves are extremely sharp, and they have territorial awareness. They are very aggressive and pose a threat to the protective suit. A lot of people died at their hands unknowingly."

"The most troublesome thing is the crystallized mutated form. The scales on their bodies are related to the mutated gamma metal ore. They need to use powerful firepower to penetrate their outer armor. It's best not to engage in close combat with them."

Li Wenbo's expression was serious as he instructed in a low voice, "Right, once the protective suit is penetrated, you must return to the safe areas as soon as possible to undergo a full body scan and treatment."

"Okay."

Fang Heng hummed softly as he sized up the crystallized mutated form.

It was very strange. Did it look a little like a crab?

They were short in size, and most of their bodies were covered by red shells.

One could vaguely make out their four limbs.

Li Wenbo had said too many important points.

It was fine at the beginning, but Fang Heng was too lazy to remember later on.

Anyway, he hadn't heard of any mutated forms that had spell damage until now.

In theory, the Lickers were invincible.

On the side, Mo Jiawei had the same thought.

He felt that Li Wenbo's voice was like hypnosis. He felt like he was back in high school when he was listening to classes, and he was drowsy.

"Also, it's best that we don't use explosive weapons. Many mutated forms are instinctively curious about the sound of explosions and flashes, especially at night. They might be attracted over, and then we would be easily surrounded."

"Alright, that's about it. There are still a few special creatures that I haven't seen yet. I'll analyze them in detail when I see them…"

"Okay."

Fang Heng nodded and patted Li Wenbo's shoulder. "It's very detailed. Next time, you can be more concise and pick the key points."

"Huh?"

Li Wenbo blinked and explained innocently, "Brother, what I said are the key points…"

As he spoke, Li Wenbo stopped. He saw Fang Heng take out a few bombs from his backpack.

Hey! Didn't he just say that it was best not to use bombs?

Before Li Wenbo could stop him, three bombs were thrown into the mine from Fang Heng's hands.

"Pa…"

"Boom!! Boom Boom!!!!"

The bombs exploded!

The loud sound woke up the mutated creatures inside the mining area almost instantly!

They looked around vigilantly, searching for potential danger.

Li Wenbo quickly hid behind the rock.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

There were faint sounds coming from all around.

Sure enough, the mutated creatures lurking nearby were awakened.

The faint sounds around them became louder and louder.

The dense Chi-Chi sounds seemed to surround them all!

What was going on?

Li Wenbo frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Something was wrong!

Most of the mutated forms were attracted by the sound, but they wouldn't react so quickly. So many mutated forms were attracted by the sound of the explosion, right?

Eh?

What was that?!

Li Wenbo's pupils constricted.

Lickers covered in pus and blood crawled out from the surrounding bushes.

An unknown reptilian mutated form?!

Li Wenbo had rarely seen such a terrifying and hideous mutated form.

A creature that relied on its four limbs to crawl and had sharp teeth and fangs.

Its skin was extremely festering, and the exposed skull looked very much like a human.

Li Wenbo was extremely nervous. When he saw the terrifying-looking mutated creature appear in his line of sight, he almost subconsciously raised his guns.

"Puff! Puff Puff!"

The weapon was equipped with a silencer and the bullets were aimed at the Licker.

Chapter 809: Mining Robot

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Oh no!

Li Wenbo's heart was beating rapidly.

He was surprised to find that the bullet had caused as much damage to the mutated form as he had expected!

He had to switch to a higher-tier weapon!

"Hey."

Fang Heng reached out and pressed Li Wenbo's shoulder.

Li Wenbo was shocked.

He turned around and looked at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei, who had calm expressions on their faces.

"What's going on?"

"Brother, calm down. We're on the same side."

Mo Jiawei shrugged and patted Li Wenbo's shoulder as well.

"Huh?"

Li Wenbo was dumbfounded. He looked at Mo Jiawei and repeated, "On the same side? You mean them?"

"Of course."

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Mo Jiawei followed the script that Sandy had prepared in advance.

"Have you heard of Ark Technology Limited?"

Li Wenbo blinked his eyes. "It's you guys?"

"That's right." Mo Jiawei nodded in agreement, "Actually, we are a high-tech company from another dimensional world. Our Ark Technology's technology has always been at the top of the world."

"Yes, as you can see, our technology can control some creatures. Currently, we are controlling the life form to perform some local fusion."

"To put it in a more common way, Ark Technology is already able to control some special mutated forms to fight for us. The aberrated creature you see is the latest scientific research product we have developed."

Huh?

Hearing what Mo Jiawei said, Li Wenbo was dumbfounded.

These mutated beasts were actually controlled by their company?!

No wonder.

Upon closer inspection, the appearance and body shape of these mutated forms were almost the same!

Li Wenbo looked at these mutated forms in disbelief. "You mean to say that these mutated forms are all from your company and can be mass-produced?"

"Of course."

Mo Jiawei continued to bluff according to the script created by artist Sandy, "But you should also understand that teleportation across time and space requires a lot of energy, so we can only send a small batch of cloned life forms over. As you can see, we call it the mutated B16 form, which is our 16th improved version."

"Ah, this…"

Li Wenbo was shocked to the extreme.

He didn't expect that there was actually such a dimensional world in this world. It actually had a higher level of technology than Raptor Company.

If he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe.

"Then what did you use to control the mutated beast?! Mind control?"

Raptor Company was also trying to control the mutated beasts, and it had made great progress.

But how could Ark Company easily control the mutated beasts using mind control?!

Such technology was much more advanced than theirs!

Currently, Raptor Company relied on drugs and long-term training, or directly used electronic mechanical rings to control the brain of the mutated beast.

At this stage, either method had a huge drawback.

Li Wenbo realized that the way Fang Heng and the others controlled the mutated creature was very different from theirs.

Moreover, it was more than twice as advanced as theirs!

In front of these two people, Li Wenbo felt like he was as simple and innocent as a primitive man.

"Well… this… is a commercial secret."

Mo Jiawei shook his head, pretending to be mysterious.

This was not in the script given by Sandy, so he directly used the trick of pretending to be mysterious.

Li Wenbo opened his mouth, and the shock that he felt was even greater. He turned his head to look at the group of Lickers who was charging into the pit to start a massacre.

Not only did they have good control, but even their combat strength had also greatly exceeded his expectations!

These mutated forms were simply too ferocious!

Normal mutated forms in the mutated mining area were completely no match for them! They were easily torn to shreds by the Lickers.

Also, what was with that exaggerated self-healing ability?

Li Wenbo personally witnessed a mutated beast's forelimbs being chopped off and then regrowing a pair of forelimbs in less than a minute!

"Why are their vitality so tenacious?"

He turned to look at Mo Jiawei, hoping to find the answer from him.

"Incorporating the latest cell body division technology of Ark Technology, it can promote cell division in a short period of time and achieve a powerful self-healing effect."

Mo Jiawei explained according to the script.

Li Wenbo carefully swallowed his saliva.

Ark Technology…

What kind of powerhouse was it?

Compared to Mo Jiawei, the quiet Fang Shuo was the most unfathomable to Li Wenbo.

Fang Heng stood behind the rock, quietly watching Mo Jiawei's bluff.

A game hint flashed across his vision.

[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has killed a plant-type mutant. You have received 9 survival points, complete evolution crystal*1.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has killed a Tier 2 mutant. You have obtained 21 survival points, Tier 1 evolution crystal*1…]

This wave of farming monsters was not too bad.

It was just that the number of mutants in the mine was not enough.

Fang Heng looked at Li Wenbo again.

What happened to the explosion that would attract the surrounding mutants?

Why was it so little?

Li Wenbo blinked and gave Fang Heng a blank look.

Soon, the entire mining area was cleaned out by the group of Lickers.

Fang Heng walked forward and waved at a patch of light blue evolution crystals on the ground.

[Hint: You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*311, complete evolution crystal*330, Tier 1 evolution crystal*307, Tier 2 evolution crystal*27.]

The income was not bad.

Upgrading to Level 23 required 999 Tier 1 evolution crystals, which was one-third of the upgrade requirement.

Thinking of this, Fang Heng controlled the Lickers to patrol the surroundings, hoping to kill more mutants and accumulate more experience points.

Seeing the mutant creatures controlled by Fang Heng sweeping the entire mining area with almost no effort, Li Wenbo was really shocked for quite a while.

"No wonder you have the ability to drive away Weixing Technology Company in such a short time. I'm impressed."

"But I still want to remind you that due to the mutation of the ore, there will be an endless stream of mutated forms approaching this place. So I suggest that you don't let your guard down and maintain the safety of this area."

"Yes, I know."

Fang Heng thought, "The more the better."

"Next, we can begin the mining of the ores." Li Wenbo looked around as he spoke, and then asked, "Brother, you should have hired some people to come here to mine, right?"

"Yes, I have indeed made some preparations."

Li Wenbo knew that the opportunity had come, so he continued, "Oh right, the efficiency of recruiting employees to mine ores is not high. I'm here to recommend a product to you. After three years of on-site research and listening to the opinions of various mining organizations, Raptor Company has developed a convenient mining robot that can go out-AERUTE III."

Chapter 810: Bionic Toolmen

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"This kind of robot is suitable for working in a radiation environment. It is made of more than 50 types of alloys as basic materials through a special process. Its collection efficiency is three times higher than ordinary player's."

Li Wenbo enthusiastically promoted, "Currently, Raptor Company has not officially released this product to the public. If you need it, I can rent it to you at a cheaper price. You only need 100 contribution points to rent it for an entire day. It's very cheap."

"Another scam, right? Do you really think we don't know anything?" Mo Jiawei sneered in his heart.

Raptor Company was famous for its trash-mining robots. It had always been famous in the gaming world for its scams.

Mining efficiency was quite high, but the failure rate was also high, and its flexibility was also poor.

It was a precious thing.

In this kind of dangerous Wasteland Apocalypse world, if one was not careful and was attacked, they would immediately anchor on the spot, stay on the spot, and get beaten up. There was nowhere to run.

The rent of 100 contribution points a day was not expensive, but if there was any damage, the compensation fee of Raptor Company would be very 'mindblowing'.

Mo Jiawei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. We have already made preparations for the collection of materials."

"No need." Fang Heng had also heard of the story of the mining robot. He stretched out his hand and pointed not far away. "Look, our mining team is already here."

Li Wenbo thought it was a pity and turned his head to look in the direction Fang Heng was pointing.

In the forest, a team wearing protective suits formed a long line.

They were holding pickaxes in their hands as they staggered towards the mining area.

Eh?

Li Wenbo let out a soft sound.

This team…

Looked strange…

Li Wenbo felt that this team did not look very smart.

As he got closer, Li Wenbo felt even stranger.

He noticed that the protective suits worn by these workers were tattered.

He even saw the damaged gaps in the protective suit.

What the hell!

Such a protective suit couldn't resist radiation at all!

Could this work?

Weren't they afraid of being infected by the radiation?

Li Wenbo was shocked. He looked carefully again and saw that the skin on the workers' faces had long festered and was oozing blood.

"F*ck!"

Li Wenbo was so scared that he took a few steps back and turned to look at Fang Heng. "What's with these laborers?"

"Ahem."

Mo Jiawei coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Alright, Li Wenbo, we're friends, right?"

"Yeah…"

At first, it was true, but now, Li Wenbo was a little uncertain.

"Actually, these people aren't laborers. They're the modified 17th generation bionic toolmen developed by our Ark Technology Limited. They have skills such as transportation, collection, classification of materials, and so on. They can also be used for combat at critical moments. Of course, their combat strength is very weak."

"This is the first time they have been put into use in this world. The local transformation has failed a little."

"That's why it has become like this as you see it. It's a little terrifying."

Mo Jiawei spread his hands and explained, "You will help keep it a secret, right?"

"Ah, this…"

Bionic toolmen?

Li Wenbo opened his mouth.

Ark Technology's scientific research level was actually so high that it could already control bionic toolmen as mining slaves?

Li Wenbo watched as the bionic toolmen staggered into the pit. They aimed at the highly radioactive ores, picked up their multi-purpose pickaxes, and began mining.

They looked silly, but they were still very efficient when they worked.

How could they be so efficient in mining?

Most importantly, they were not affected by the radiation at all, except for their appearance!

How could this be possible?!

Li Wenbo was completely shocked.

Mo Jiawei patted Li Wenbo on the shoulder, "Hehe, not bad, right? Oh right, our Ark Company will also provide loan services to outsiders in the future. A bionic toolman only costs 5,000 contribution points a day. In the future, we can deepen our cooperation."

"Uh, okay…"

Li Wenbo took a long time to recover from his shock.

He was shocked by the Ark Company.

The collection efficiency of the bionic toolman was much higher than he had imagined!

They could easily complete a series of operations such as collecting, handling, and sorting materials, as well as loading materials on the vehicles. It was much, much better than the mining robot that their company spent a lot of effort to develop!

In comparison, the bionic toolman was much superior to the mining robot.

Even the number of bionic toolmen of the Ark Company had greatly exceeded Li Wenbo's expectations!

There were hundreds of toolmen and they could easily gather high-tier ores.

"How is it? Isn't it great?"

Mo Jiawei knew Fang Heng's ability.

He had learned eight different mining skills, and each of them had reached the highest maximum level!

The zombie clones had inherited Fang Heng's excellent skill effect.

During the Zombie Apocalypse, not counting the transportation, a large number of zombie clones could mine a rich mine in just one day.

Li Wenbo wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his mood.

"Indeed, your company's scientific research ability has impressed me. I've learned a lot."

Li Wenbo was a little dumbfounded when he saw trucks full of ores being mined and then quickly loaded back into trucks.

In the past, those small companies usually couldn't mine even one truck's worth of ores in a day. How long had it been?

There were already five full trucks!

Fang Heng was already familiar with the process. He optimized the mining production line and controlled some zombies to carry and load the materials. Then, he issued a circular order.

Fang Heng felt that it was almost time, so he turned around and said, "It's almost time. Let's go."

"Huh?" Li Wenbo was stunned again. "What? Go?"

"Yeah, we can return to the safe areas."

Fang Heng felt that it was strange. Why would he want to stay here?

"Brother, don't worry." Mo Jiawei patted Li Wenbo's shoulder, "The bionic toolmen will automatically carry out the follow-up transportation according to the pre-designed program, transporting the excavated ores back to the vicinity of the safe areas. We only need to receive the goods at the end."

"Uh… okay…"

Li Wenbo opened his mouth.

So…

Their mission this time was completed just like that?

Why did it feel like a dream?

…

A few hours later.

Outside the safe areas.

Even the wee hours of the morning could not stop the players' passion for being spectators.

The players, who had gathered together to watch the show, once again became noisy.

They saw the Raptor Company mercenaries carrying ore carts filled with mutated ores to and from the safe areas.

Back and forth.

Oh my god!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the mission that had troubled the players for more than a year was completed by the Ark Company just like that?

Moreover, the production output was actually so high?

It didn't make sense!

With such a high output of ores, it was estimated that the entire mining area would soon be emptied, right?

What kind of monster company was Ark Technology exactly?

Li Wenbo had never expected that Ark Company's efficiency would be so high. After returning, he couldn't think of anything else and hurriedly cleared out a special warehouse that could isolate the special radiation of ores, he freed his hands to move the ore.

Chapter 811: Passage

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After returning to the safe areas, Fang Heng went offline to rest for a while. He only went online after midnight.

A row of game hints appeared.

[Hint: During the time you went offline, your zombie clone completed the mining of chrome ore*29,015 (click here to see the details), completing part of the ore transportation.]

[Hint: During the time you are offline, your zombie clone has been detected/attacked and counterattacked. A total of 1,892 mutated beasts have been killed. Complete evolution crystals*301, Tier 1 evolution crystal*103, Tier 2 evolution crystal*38 (click here to see the details).]

Fang Heng quickly scanned through the long game log.

During the entire mining process of the mining area, apart from being attacked by a few mutated beasts, there were also attacked by groups of mutated beasts seven times.

All of them were easily taken care of by the Lickers, and they also obtained more than 100 Tier 1 evolution crystals.

Through the game log, Fang Heng could see that the mining area had been emptied. He controlled the zombie clones to wait for orders and ran to the warehouse area to look for Li Wenbo.

"Fang Shuo, you, you really surprised me."

In the warehouse area, Li Wenbo was so excited that he couldn't speak properly.

"Why? You look very busy?"

Li Wenbo wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"A little."

It was hard work but it really paid off and there was real profit!

In just five hours, almost all the resources in the mutated mine pit had been mined by the Ark Company!

This efficiency was simply cheating.

Li Bowen was pleasantly surprised and he became busy as well.

After he returned to the safe areas of the Raptor Company, he busily searched for a place to store the ores. In the end, he directly opened the teleportation passage and transported large quantities of mutated gamma metal ore resources to the Raptor Company's headquarters through the teleportation passage.

This time, Li Bowen and Fang Heng made a lot of money together. The annual performance index was on the rise.

"Materials are still being counted. I'll pay you some contribution points in advance, and unlock the high-tier VIP for you. Later, I'll bring you to the counter to open the high-tier exchange service."

[Hint: You have completed the mission-collect mutated gamma metal ore.]

[Hint: You have received a 900,000 contribution points prepayment from Li Bowen.]

[Hint: Your VIP level is upgraded to Level 99 at Raptor Company. You can upgrade at any of Raptor Company's counters.]

Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.

9,000,000 contribution points were enough to buy a small shelter.

"Thank you. Can I use the teleportation passage now?"

"Ah? Leaving again?"

When Li Wenbo heard that Fang Heng was going to leave, he immediately became anxious.

The profits that he had earned today were more than what he had earned after working hard for more than half a year.

This was a huge profit. He was still thinking of deepening his cooperation with Fang Heng and continuing to collect large amounts of resources. Why was he in a hurry to leave again?

Li Wenbo was willing to risk his life to keep Fang Heng.

"Don't be anxious. I've temporarily activated the company's highest level of exchange authority for you. You can complete the exchange for everything. How about you take a look first? Maybe there's something you want? Don't you agree?"

Li Wenbo put down the work in his hands. "Come, give me your membership card. I'll take you to upgrade now."

Unable to resist Li Wenbo's enthusiasm, and in addition to the fact that he was prepared to go to the exchange to make a transfer purchase, Fang Heng half-heartedly followed Li Wenbo to the exchange.

At the counter, the cashier handed the updated black gold VIP identity card to Fang Heng.

"Distinguished member, this is your VIP card. Please keep it well."

[Hint: You have obtained a black gold VIP card (check here for membership rights).]

"Take a look, Brother. Take a look first. This is the highest level of membership rights. There are only a dozen or so people in the world who have it. What if there's something you need?"

"Okay."

So enthusiastic…

Fang Heng was helpless.

Then he would take a look.

Fang Heng did not think that he had anything to buy from Raptor Company.

He opened the contribution points exchange and directly pulled it to the top.

"Huh?!"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and let out a soft exclamation.

Technology?!

Raptor Company actually provided finished products technology for sale?

Technology: Microelectronic low-level mutated form control technology.

Description: By implanting an electronic chip into the brain of the mutated form, the mutated form can be controlled (requires shelter with Level 20 and above research level).

Exchange cost: 88,000,000 contribution points.

Technology: Mineral particle transfer technology.

Description: The transfer technology that can convert minerals into particles greatly speeds up the transfer and collection of minerals (requires shelter with Level 30 and above research level).

Exchange cost: 59,000,000 contribution points.

Mineral particle teleportation?!

This was a good thing! It could convert minerals into particles and teleport them, greatly increasing the efficiency of teleportation.

In the future, when he goes to other areas to plunder, he can…

There were more than 20 pieces of technology, and each of them costs more than 10,000,000 contribution points.

Fang Heng was a little surprised, and he quickly flipped through the pages.

How?!

There was actually such a thing?!

Item: Large-scale space tearing device.

Fang Heng's expression suddenly changed, and he was shocked.

Blueprint of the large-scale space tearing device!

This thing was actually sold?

However, it showed that there were only three pieces of space tearing devices that could be sold, and they had already been sold out.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

He realized something.

That's right!

With this thing for sale…

He could also build a space tearing device in this world!

Fang Heng's expression was solemn. He moved his fingers and controlled the three-panel to flip down.

In the sales list, almost all the resources needed to build a large-scale space tearing device were sold in Raptor Company.

However, resources were limited and the price was very high.

At least in theory, it was possible to build a space tearing device in this world.

So…

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and thought.

If he spent money to buy a shelter from Raptor Company and build a private space tearing device in the shelter…

Relying on a large number of zombie clones as labor, as long as there were sufficient resources, it should not take a day to build it.

Theoretically, it was feasible.

Next, he only needed to temporarily take Victor from Zombie Apocalypse and help complete the upgrade of the space tearing device to Tier 2, so that it had the ability to connect to District 8 of Zombie Apocalypse…

At that time, he could use Wasteland Apocalypse as the main teleportation point and try to connect to District 8 of the Zombie Apocalypse!

He could build a teleportation passage between the two worlds!

At that time, the large amount of mutated metal ore resources and beam weapons in the Wasteland World could be continuously transported back to the Zombie Apocalypse world!

This plan…

Fang Heng rubbed his fist and took a deep breath.

Since he was already here, since he was going to farm monsters anyway, he might as well…

Moreover, the contribution points of buying a super-sized safe area from the Raptor Company weren't that much.

It was only 500 million points. He was crazy about mining, and it wouldn't take long for him to…

Anyway, it was a hack.

The Wasteland World was pretty good, and there were many rare ore resources that could be used for research. The mutated forms and external radiation were also a special research direction, and there were even purple spatial crystals, a specialty of the Wasteland World.

He remembered that the twelve corporations had spent a lot of effort to collect the spatial crystals from the three elementary worlds.

Based on this deduction, these spatial crystals should be very valuable.

No, this wave could not be wasted.

Besides, during the process of building the space tearing device, he could also kill monsters to earn the spatial crystals to level up!

He could not delay anymore!

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, Fang Heng had already made his decision.

One more wave of greed.

Alright!

Since he had decided to be greedy, Fang Heng's gaze gradually became firm and steadfast.

He would use the speediest method to build the teleportation passage.

Even though he couldn't take down the World Lord qualification in the Wasteland World, he had to take back all the high-tier resources in the Wasteland World.

Whatever the twelve corporations had, he also had to have it in his prison!

This was a matter of attitude.

Hence, he needed a main base to be the location for the space tearing device.

Building his own main base was too slow, and Fang Heng didn't have the time and patience.

The Raptor Company provided a very good service.

Buy it directly!

Considering that the subsequent construction and level-up of the space tearing device required a large amount of ore, he might as well just buy it directly!

After all, it was a super-sized safe area with all sorts of facilities and a short-distance teleportation device for one person.

Buy, buy, buy!

With this in mind, Fang Heng turned his head to look at Li Wenbo.

"Do you have any better missions on hand? I want to buy a lot of things and require a lot of contribution points."

When Li Wenbo heard this, his heart was also filled with joy.

He had taken the bait!

He was definitely going to be an outstanding employee this year!

"Yes! Of course, I do!"

The two of them almost hit it off. "Fang Heng, I have a lot of very high-quality missions on hand. It might be very difficult for ordinary people to handle, but for you, it's just a drizzle. It's effortless."

"Oh right, I can become your exclusive agent. In the future, I can help you find missions around the world that are most suitable for you to complete. I can help you arrange the whole process and provide you with the best one-on-one service so that you won't have to worry about your future…"

Fang Heng rubbed his fists.

Why did he suddenly feel so full of energy?

"Okay, let's start from the nearby areas. Do you know the abilities of the bionic toolman? What mines are worth exploring?"

Li Wenbo snapped his fingers and immediately said, "You've asked the right person for this question. According to your digging ability and the current price of the purchase materials by Raptor Company, there are a total of three mines in the vicinity that are most worth exploring. We can obtain the highest contribution points in the shortest time possible, but…"

"But what?"

"But I remember that a few of them seemed to be the mining areas occupied by Weixing Technology. They were chased away by you, right? Are you sure they won't come back with their people? I heard that Weixing Technology is also a large-scale company."

"It doesn't matter. We can communicate with them." Fang Heng nodded and said, "Where is the nearest mining area?"

…

Weixing Technology.

The company was shocked when it heard that the mining team stationed at the Tianlin mining area had been destroyed.

The Tianlin mining area had been operating peacefully for a few years, and it had always been peaceful.

Ark Technology, which had suddenly appeared, had never been heard of before.

Could they have such powerful strength?

Before the specific investigation results were out, they heard that the Tianlin mining area had been completely controlled by Ark Technology.

How could this be tolerated?

Zhao Xiu was called to the company's headquarters to report in person.

The high-level combat meeting was immediately held the afternoon after Zhao Xiu's team was eliminated.

Weixing Technology investigated Ark Technology's background while at the same time, it immediately mobilized the company's players to prepare to recruit mercenaries for combat.

During the company strategy meeting, Yang Kai, the department manager in charge of the mining business department, slammed the table heavily.

"This is a provocation! We have to fight back!"

"The annual revenue of the Tianlin mining area accounts for more than 10% of the company's total revenue. It is extremely important to the entire company!"

"I think we should go directly and deal with Ark Technology directly."

At this time, Zhao Xiu also saw an opportunity for revenge, he immediately added fuel to the fire, "From my contact with the Ark Technology Company, they are deliberately targeting us. From the beginning, they have no intention of negotiating with us to reconcile. The probability of private mediation is very small."

"They have already come knocking on our door. What settlement?" The deputy director of the company's operations department snorted. "If we want to settle, we have to fight back first. We have to hurt them before we can talk about how to settle."

That's right, they had to fight this time round.

The company's higher-ups all had the same idea.

But the strange thing was that until now, they had not found any information related to Ark Technology.

It was as if the company had appeared out of thin air. There was no way to contact the other party.

While the players were discussing, the company's deputy general manager, Dai Yutong, lowered her head and looked at the message on her phone.

Her expression was a little strange. She raised her head and said, "Everyone, there's a new situation."

Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Dai Yutong.

"Not long ago, I sent people to scout the periphery of the two mines that were just occupied by the Ark Company. According to the information I received, there are no signs of the Ark Company's employees mining in the mining area."

Dai Yutong swept her gaze across everyone, she said word by word, "But after our in-depth investigation, we found that the two large-scale mining areas have been mined. The mining areas are in a completely abandoned state. There is no need to continue mining."

Everyone was stunned.

What was going on?

The ores had been mined?!

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Xiu in unison.

Zhao Xiu also opened his mouth.

"Uh, I think that the Ark Company might have some kind of high-efficiency mining ability…"

He had said this before.

But…

So efficient?

It had only been a day since the mining areas had been attacked by the Ark Company, and both mining areas had been mined?

The players fell into silence once again.

Previously, they had doubted Zhao Xiu's words. They felt that Zhao Xiu would exaggerate the Ark Company's combat ability to show that he was not so useless.

One could tell from a glimpse.

If what Zhao Xiu said was true and the Ark Company had such powerful technological capabilities, their military strength would definitely not be weak.

"Zhao Xiu," a middle-aged executive looked at Zhao Xiu and said coldly, "Could it be that you colluded with Cheng Han all these years and secretly emptied the mine, creating an Ark Company to scare us?"

"Mr. Victor is also an expert in mechanics?"

Mo Jiawei nodded in agreement. "He is quite an expert. He is a genius mechanic."

Li Wenbo nodded and said, "By the way, the energy crystals that you bought from the company two days ago were approved last night. I sent someone to bring them here as soon as they arrived in the morning. They are now stored in Temporary Warehouse No. 3."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Fang Heng's spirit was lifted.

Very good, the energy that opened the teleportation passage was also completed!

"Hey, this is nothing, it's just a small matter."

Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones in the control center hall to go to the temporary warehouse. He moved the box full of energy crystals over and filled it into the large-scale space tearing device's energy tank.

A moment later, Victor got down from the high-Tier teleportation device and made an OK gesture to Fang Heng.

"Done!"

The next moment, a game hint appeared in front of Fang Heng.

[Hint: Player has completed the Tier 2 upgrade of space tearing device, current shelter level has increased (click here to see the details).]

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I try to connect to the world passage?"

"Theoretically, there will not be any problem. I need to adjust it."

Victor said as he walked to the large command station and quickly restarted it.

Mo Jiawei rubbed his hands together. "Before I came, I had already communicated with Genius Qiu's side. They are ready to receive the signal of the teleportation passage. They are on standby 24 hours a day, ready to open the teleportation passage."

What? The world passage was opened just like that?

Li Wenbo was stunned.

He swallowed his saliva and carefully looked at Fang Heng and the others.

Although he had long learned from them that Ark Company was a large company from another world, seeing them open the teleportation passage with his own eyes still made him a little apprehensive.

"Tier 2 space tearing device, activate."

Victor finished debugging and gave the command. He finally reached out to press the red button.

"Pa da…"

The large machine let out a humming sound, emitting blue light.

[Hint: Player has activated the Tier 2 space tearing device, detecting the coordinates of the space passage that sent out the signal to connect.]

[Hint: Player has the qualifications of a District 8 World Lord, meeting the space passage requirements.]

[Hint: Receiving the response message from the passage terminal.]

[Hint: Coordinates confirmed, authority confirmed, passage coordinates being constructed…]

"Buzz…"

After more than 20 minutes, Fang Heng and the others stood silently at the side, looking at the channeling bar on the big screen's projection from 0 to 100%.

A blue barrier opened in front of the space tearing device in the center.

[Hint: Space passage constructed.]

A ripple appeared on the blue barrier and a hand stretched out from it.

Following that, a familiar figure wearing a blue research suit walked out of the passage.

"You're so mysterious that I can't find you. It turns out that you've been hiding here all this time."

Qiu Yaokang adjusted his glasses.

"Haha, you have to keep it a secret from the prison side."

"Okay."

Seeing Fang Heng, Qiu Yaokang waved his hand. In fact, he was more interested in research.

On the surface, he appeared calm and collected. After learning that he could enter this world, Qiu Yaokang was so excited that he didn't sleep well last night. He had been waiting for the link to the teleportation passage the whole night.

"Oh right, the few special ore samples that you got last time are very good. I should need a dedicated super-sized research room with at least 30 B-level and above researchers here…"

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to arrange it."

Fang Heng made an OK gesture to Qiu Yaokang and patted Li Wenbo's shoulder. "By the way, you should have a researcher for sale, right?"

Li Wenbo was stunned and replied, "Ah, yes, yes…"

"Dong! Dong! Dong…"

A slight tremor suddenly came from the hall.

Li Wenbo was stunned. He turned his head and looked at a few three-meter-tall fusion Tyrant forms that walked out of the passage.

He was full of shock.

The giant life form was holding an extremely exaggerated super-sized revolving machine gun in its hand. Behind it was a super-sized focused flamethrower and two ammunition boxes.

With every step the fusion Tyrant form took, the ground would shake heavily.

"This, this is…"

Seeing Li Wenbo's shocked expression, Mo Jiawei was amused, "Ha, come, come, let me introduce you. This is Ark Company's newly developed fusion biological weapon. It hasn't undergone local modification, so it might not be suitable for the outside environment."

"How is it? What's your evaluation? Do you feel a sense of oppression?"

Li Wenbo took a deep breath and nodded.

It was super pressurizing.

Fang Heng had not seen Qiu Yaokang for a very long time so he walked over and asked about the fusion Tyrant form.

Previously, the effects of the undying body had been reversed, and the fusion Tyrant forms were unable to complete their suicide. They could not be brought into the Vampire Apocalypse world, which directly caused Fang Heng's strength to be greatly reduced.

"Yeah, I've been carrying out relevant research and development. Actually, I've already made some progress."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Fang Heng's face was filled with joy.

After all, he came to the Wasteland World for a vacation. After some time, he still had to go to District 6 of the Vampire Apocalypse.

At that time, the fusion Tyrant forms would definitely be able to help.

"Unknown radiation."

Qiu Yaokang spoke concisely and walked to the command station.

"From your description, continuous radiation can accumulate a huge amount of damage. If the radiation can be controlled, we can quickly kill the fusion Tyrant forms."

Fang Heng clapped his hands.

That's right! This was the solution!

Fang Heng suddenly understood.

Bring the fusion Tyrant forms to the Wasteland World through the teleportation passage, and then expose the fusion Tyrant forms to the radiation.

After one to two hours, when their HP dropped below 10%, he would let them self-destruct and carry out mass suicide.

Done!

It was a little troublesome, but at least he could complete the suicide operation.

Fang Heng was in a better mood now.

At this stage, coming to the Wasteland Apocalypse was equivalent to farming experience points to accumulate strength.

With the fusion Tyrant forms, he would be even less afraid when he ran to the world of the vampires.

Qiu Yaokang calmly turned his head and looked at Fang Heng, "There are many things in the radiation world that are worthy of our research. Localized research can greatly increase the speed of research. I will be staying here for this period of time. When will I get what I want?"

Fang Heng turned his head and looked at Li Wenbo.

"Cough cough, very soon. After paying the contribution points, the researcher is expected to arrive tonight."

Contribution points…

Fang Heng took a deep breath.

There was no other way. In order to gather contribution points, he could only speed up the mining process!

…

Five days later.

"Ark Company…"

After receiving the relevant report, Dai Yutong smiled bitterly.

She did not expect to be defeated in such a way.

Indeed, she expected Ark Company to expand, and the other party did expand as she expected.

But she did not expect Ark Company to expand to such a state!

The other party did not care about the major gaming companies at all. They crazily purchased Raptor Company's safe areas and made them theirs.

Chapter 815: Had Some Doubts

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For places that Ark Company went, it was as if locusts had passed by and

wiped clean all the mineral resources, timber resources, and even the mutated beasts.

The so-called joint plan to block them was as laughable as a child playing house in front of Ark Company.

Ark Company was too ruthless.

The forest around the safe area was gone, the ores were gone, and even the mutated beasts were gone. All the valuable resources were wiped out. Other than rocks, sand, and soil, there was only radiation.

There was nothing left. What did the company need those areas for?

It took a lot of effort to fight with Ark Company, but it wasn't enough to counter them.

What was their motive?

To vent their anger?

Not really.

The players suffered the most.

Once the area around the safe area was cleared, only one-tenth of the missions issued by Raptor Company remained.

Without a source of mission and income, the players often had to travel a long distance to complete a mission.

So, instead of Raptor Company chasing them away, the players quickly changed locations.

Larger and larger areas were naturally occupied by Ark Company.

Ark Company's name was becoming increasingly famous. More and more player companies and game guilds heard about it.

Many large companies did not want to fight with Ark Company. Instead, they turned around and ran.

The world was big enough. If they could not afford to provoke it, surely they could still hide away from it.

If they were targeted by Ark Company, they could only admit that they were unlucky.

Feeling helpless, Weixing Technology decided to admit defeat without hesitation.

In any case, they were not the only large company to admit defeat. It was not embarrassing.

However, in order to annoy the Ark Company, Dai Yutong still reported to the Federation that the Ark Company was related to the anti-federation forces.

…

At the Necromancer Association.

"The corrosion rate of the main seal is faster than we expected. We estimate that the seal in the central area of the fallen corridor has been completely destroyed. At 10:23 this morning, the number of leaked undead auras has reached the warning limit."

The vice president of the association, Chen Songlin, who was in charge of sealing the death realm, informed everyone about the situation in the sealed fallen corridor.

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a moment of silence.

President Milne of the Necromancer Association sat on a chair.

He narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

"We would like to hear the opinion of the Necromancer Association. From a professional point of view, do you think that the safety of the death realm crevice can still be guaranteed?"

Everyone could not help but turn their heads to look at Su Shoujiang who was speaking.

Su Shoujiang had a slightly solemn expression on his face.

He was the vice president of the Central Inspection Bureau of the Eastern Federation. The cost of implementing a crisis plan was extremely high.

About a week after the incident at the Necromancer Association took place, Su Shoujiang, as a member of the federal team, came to the Necromancer Association to discuss how to deal with the crisis together.

Su Shoujiang had also helped a lot when he was collecting equipment for Fang Heng previously.

Chen Songlin shook his head and said, "This is impossible to estimate. The probability of fighting is too risky for us. I can only say that if there is no external force involved, the seal can last for at least three months."

"What external forces are you referring to?"

"Any damage to the seal, the impact, the fluctuations of the death realm, and the fluctuations of the Shrine of Bones. There are too many of them." Milne pondered and shook his head. "This won't do. There are too many factors involved. I'm unable to make a judgment."

Su Shoujiang clenched his fist with one hand and rested his chin on his palm. Then, he looked at Xi Yongzhi.

Xi Yongzhi, the Level 1 investigator in charge of this Necromancer Association incident, had come from the Central Federation.

He had been appointed by the Central Federation as the leader of this investigation team.

"According to our agreement with the Necromancer Association, once the undead auras reach a dangerous level, we will immediately take emergency measures to evacuate the surrounding people and declare a state of martial law."

As Xi Yongzhi spoke, he looked around at everyone. "I would like to ask everyone, what are we waiting for?"

Everyone fell silent.

President Milne opened his eyes and said, "Just as Mr. Xi said, according to the agreement, the Necromancer Association can enter the highest state of martial law at any time. As for the matter of dispersing it, the Necromancer Association doesn't have the right to do so."

"Thank you for your cooperation, President. There's one more thing."

Xi Yongzhi looked at Vice President Dickey.

"May I ask if Fang Heng is your disciple?"

Dickey frowned. "Yes."

"Are you sure that he's still in the corridor?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing." Xi Yongzhi nodded and looked around at everyone. "I just want to confirm with everyone in the association that I've recently received some strange news. Someone has seen Fang Heng in the game."

Dickey was even more displeased.

When did he have the authority to tell the Necromancer Association what to do?

Moreover, his precious students were all trapped in the fallen corridor and they were under investigation by the Federation.

On what basis?!!

"Ha, who is the person you're talking about? Why don't you ask him to step out on his own?"

Xi Yongzhi shook his head and said, "It's just a rumor. It might not be true. In addition, I'm a little curious. You don't have much time to interact with Fang Heng. Is there anything special about you taking him in as a student so quickly?"

"Aiya." Dickey slapped his forehead, he suddenly understood and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot. Before taking in a disciple, I still need to apply to the Federation and write an application report. Don't mind me, I'll make it up right away…"

"Dickey!"

President Milne suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Dickey.

Dickey shrugged and shut his mouth.

"As a member of the Necromancer Association, Dickey is free to take in any student. Isn't the Federation stretching its authority a little too far? We didn't have an agreement in this regard."

"No offense, but we just feel that Fang Heng is a little strange, so we wanted to confirm it with Vice President Dickey."

Dickey couldn't be bothered with him. Facing Xi Yongzhi's gaze, he rolled his eyes.

"We've investigated some strange movements of Fang Heng in the game, and his academic background in the sacred study is also a little strange. He seems to be prepared for the whole incident in the fallen corridor, so…"

Xi Yongzhi paused and looked at Dickey. "Please believe that our investigation is based on evidence. We hope to communicate with Pu Shi to confirm whether Fang Heng's behavior in the fallen corridor is suspicious."

"I'm the one who taught my student sacred study. I've lived for so long, so what if I learn some sacred study by analogy? Do you also want to learn my sacred study from me? I can do so anytime."

"Okay." Chen Songlin waved his hand and continued to close his eyes. "Okay, that's it. That's it for today."

Su Shoujiang watched as everyone left the meeting hall and narrowed his eyes.

Coming to the Necromancer Association this time was the right decision.

There was a lot of evidence that indicated that the Necromancer Association incident was related to the twelve corporations' plans.

He hoped to use the Necromancer Association's death realm crevice to attract the attention of the Eastern region of the Federation and act as a cover for their secret plans.

Of course, there was also the Shrine of Bones in the fallen corridor which was very important to the twelve corporations.

However, coincidentally, Su Shoujiang found that Fang Heng was actually trapped in the fallen corridor.

Chapter 816: Central Region

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Shoujiang knew very well that there might be a mole in the inner team of the fallen corridor who had broken the seal.

Putting aside whether the mole was Fang Heng or not, according to the information gathered from various sources not long ago, the Ark Company that had just caused a huge uproar in District 9 of the world of vampires seemed to have a deep connection with Fang Heng.

In the morning, there was also news that Ark Company had appeared in the Wasteland World.

It all seemed strange.

Especially this investigator that was sent from the Central Federation, Xi Yongzhi…

This person was a dangerous figure that was targeted by the Eastern region of the Federation.

He had a close relationship with the twelve corporations and had also come from the Western Region of the Federation to join the Central Federation.

Xi Yongzhi was also very concerned about Fang Heng…

…

Within three days after the Federation issued an emergency order, all the people in the Necromancer Association and those staying in the nearby twelve regions had all been evacuated.

The evacuation area was still gradually expanding.

At the Western region of the Federation, the twelve corporations were having an internal meeting.

"The Eastern region of the Federation has already begun to carry out emergency plans to evacuate people. Most of their energy has already been expended by controlling the death realm crevice."

"On the vampires' side, three types of spatial crystals have already been completed. The fusion of spatial crystals has already been formed. We can start to set up a passage."

"Wait until the Eastern region makes a move. The aura of the undead will explode and attract the Federation's attention. Then, we will open the altar passage and condense the blood essence."

"Proceed according to the plan. Also, regarding the Shrine of Bones…"

"Yes, I understand. The success rate is extremely low. Let Xi Yongzhi give it another try. There's no need to have too much hope."

"Also, there's Fang Heng. We received news from Xi Yongzhi that Fang Heng is still in the inner part of the corridor. There's nothing suspicious…"

…

"Eh? Fang Heng?"

"Oh, I'm fine. I was a little distracted."

Fang Heng came back to his senses and looked away from the distance.

It was finally the end, he saw the hope of leaving.

A full week had passed.

Relying on the monster-hunting strategy that had been customized by Fang Heng, the player team had already cleaned up all the vengeful spirits in the inner area of the fallen corridor.

Following the team, the players came to the periphery of the central area in the deepest part of the fallen corridor.

The situation was very strange. The original Wall of Bones was now covered by a layer of solidified gray death aura.

Fang Heng had tried to use the purification spell to dispel it.

The effect was not good.

After the initial purification and dispersal, a large amount of black death aura quickly covered it.

To be safe, Instructor Pu Shi and the players surrounded the Wall of Bones in the outer layer of the central area and cast three layers of seals.

After that, Instructor Pu Shi and the players discussed how they were going to lead the team into the sealed area to check out the specific situation.

Li Qingran was not aware of Fang Heng's absent-mindedness.

She whispered, "Fang Heng, Instructor Pu Shi has checked. The strength of the Shrine of Bones has been completely released to the outside world. It is gradually affecting the seal of the fallen corridor. The longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be. We have to be mentally prepared. The situation in the central area might be very dangerous."

"Yes, I understand. I hope Teacher Pu Shi can bring us away as soon as possible."

Fang Heng had been imprisoned in the fallen corridor for too long. He could not wait to leave this godforsaken place. He had to quickly exchange the souls that he had for the King of Gods' points.

Teacher Pu Shi was not far away, communicating something with a few necromancy attendants.

After a moment, Pu Shi gave a hand signal to the team behind him.

Seeing this, the players all assumed a vigilant posture and got ready for battle.

"Ka, Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka…"

After half a month, the central region's skeleton gate finally opened in front of everyone's eyes.

From afar, Fang Heng looked into the central region.

It was empty and pitch-black.

Countless dark-brown vengeful spirits were entrenched in the central region.

The magic array that was flashing on the floor had lost its luster.

The central sealed area was covered by a thick layer of the black aura.

Even with the night vision ability of the vampires, Fang Heng could not see the depths clearly.

Pu Shi's expression was grave.

Just as he had expected, almost all of the magic array in the central area had lost its effectiveness. The aura of death was constantly seeping out from the death realm crevice under the fallen corridor, spreading and affecting the magic array of the entire Necromancer Association.

He had to think of a way to purify this area and repair the magic array.

"Fang Heng, let's begin."

"Okay."

Just as he had planned, Fang Heng agreed.

He put on a thick set of equipment and followed a few steps forward.

The vengeful spirit bodies floating in the air all sensed the aura of Holy Light coming from Fang Heng's body.

They slowly and gradually turned toward Fang Heng and then floated in his direction.

Fang Heng held the Book of Creation in his left hand and raised the top of the scepter in his right hand to aim at one of the vengeful spirits.

"Purify!!"

Buzz…

Golden Holy Light sprinkled down and instantly bloomed.

The vengeful spirits were greatly injured and the black fog on their bodies was mostly dispersed.

The burst of Holy Light aura immediately attracted the attention of a large number of vengeful spirits nearby. They accelerated towards Fang Heng as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Fang Heng slowly moved backward.

"Brothers, do it!"

At the rear, the players who had long been prepared relied on the strength of the Book of the Dead to weaken the vengeful spirits. Then, the close-combat players would go up and finish the job.

The purpose of doing this was to effectively weaken the number of vengeful spirits wandering in the central hall.

They went back and forth several times like this, wave after wave of monsters being lured.

More than an hour had passed, and the players were more or less tired.

Instructor Pu Shi signaled the players to temporarily leave the central area and take a short break.

Taking advantage of the rest of the players' rest time, Fang Heng stood outside the entrance of the seal and looked at the black fog in the center of the sealed area, deep in thought.

"Fang Heng, have you noticed it too?"

Li Qingran walked to Fang Heng's side and followed his gaze to look inside the sealed area. "The number of vengeful spirit bodies hasn't decreased."

"En, do you know what's going on?"

"It might be related to the revived King Guards. Teacher Pu Shi should have discovered it as well. They will have a countermeasure."

As the two of them were talking, a high-tier player walked to their side. "Senior Sister Qingran, Fang Heng, Instructor Pu Shi invites the two of you to go over and discuss something."

In another corner, Pu Shi also sensed that something was wrong. He was gathering a few high-tier players to discuss countermeasures.

Pu Shi frowned.

"The King Guard's consciousness has yet to fully recover. He's acting on instinct. He realized that the death aura is beneficial to himself, so he chose to absorb the death aura that seeps out of the death realm's crevice. However, he doesn't have a good method to absorb it. Currently, he's in a temporary hibernation mode."

Peng He was a veteran player of the Necromancer Association. Although his combat power was relatively average, he had quite a bit of academic knowledge.

He explained the situation to everyone, "Due to the accumulation of a large amount of death aura, a large number of vengeful spirit bodies have been formed. The number of vengeful spirit bodies in the central sealing area has reached a saturation point."

"We've already tried it. Our killing speed cannot keep up with the revival speed of the vengeful spirit bodies at all."

Chapter 817: The King Guard

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What should they do?

Hearing Peng He's explanation, everyone fell silent. For a moment, they could not think of any solutions.

Pu Shi looked around at everyone and nodded. "That's the general situation. Everyone, brainstorm and speak freely without any scruples."

A high-tier player raised his hand, "Teacher, under normal circumstances, if we want to deal with a large number of vengeful spirits, we can adopt sealing measures and use the strength of the magic array to suppress them. Is it possible for us to set up a magic array?"

Everyone pondered.

Currently, they were trapped in the fallen corridor. Setting up a magic array would consume a large number of props, and they would also need to enter the central sealing area.

It would be very difficult to do so.

"Teacher, the source of strength of vengeful spirits is the death aura that has been specially transformed by the Shrine of Bones. If we can eliminate the influence of the Shrine of Bones, can we directly attack the source?"

"Are you saying that we should ignore the vengeful spirit bodies and directly attack the Shrine of Bones?"

"Yes, the theory is feasible."

Pu Shi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded. "There are too many uncertainties in the actual operation."

Fang Heng thought to himself, "Isn't this just being reckless? With so many vengeful spirit bodies that are constantly undergoing rebirths, how could they just run in and deal with the Shrine of Bones? It wouldn't be that easy. What if they wake up the King Guards?"

Raising his head, Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.

He noticed that everyone was looking at him.

"Fang Heng, how confident are you?"

Fang Heng turned his head to look at Pu Shi. "Huh?"

"We can buy you time. You enter the sealed area and purify the Shrine of Bones outside of the casting limit."

Eh…

Fang Heng frowned. He tried to recall the first time he saw the Shrine of Bones and estimated the distance between it and the stone platform in the central hall.

It seemed a little difficult.

Fang Heng raised his head and said, "I can try, but I don't think it's reliable."

"Yes, with the support of the Shrine of Bones, the strength of the King Guards has been greatly increased. Be careful and remember not to be rash. Once you find that things can't be done, immediately retreat. Just retreat and leave the rest to me. Understand?"

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

After discussing the strategy, everyone once again entered the central sealed area.

This time, with Fang Heng in the center, the players surrounded him to protect him.

After the drifting vengeful spirits noticed the intruders, they all attacked everyone.

Under immense pressure, everyone cleared the vengeful spirits as they slowly approached the thick black fog in the center.

Fang Heng frowned.

The substance-like black fog gathered in the center of the sealing hall.

Since he couldn't see clearly, he could only rely on the surrounding environment to identify the center of the circular hall.

In theory, the Shrine of Bones was there.

It was still more than 50 meters away.

The limit of the purification spell was less than 15 meters and the difference was quite big.

Suddenly, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

He felt a powerful pressure coming from the black fog, directly pressing down on him.

Not good! Something's wrong!

"Be careful! Retreat!"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and shouted. At the same time, he immediately took a step back.

The surrounding players were shocked.

In the next moment, a black shadow flashed out from the black fog in front of him.

A black skeleton creature!

It was the skeleton that they had seen before, next to the central round table!

Under the perfusion of the dense black aura of death, the bones on the skeleton gave off a pitch-black jade texture.

The dense black aura lingered around the skeleton.

It was the King Guard!

The black skeleton held a long bone sword that was surrounded by a black aura of death.

Aura?

As he quickly retreated, Fang Heng's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the black aura surrounding the black skeleton.

He had a strange feeling.

That aura seemed to be like a kind of tonic.

If he got closer, he might be able to control the aura surrounding the skeleton.

The King Guard was awakened in advance!

When the players saw this, they turned pale with fright and immediately retreated frantically.

"Clack."

The sound of the bones falling to the ground broke Fang Heng's train of thought.

At that moment, Fang Heng clearly saw a faint green light appear in the eyes of the skeleton in the middle.

The black skeleton held a long sword in its hand and swept horizontally forward.

The sword light wrapped in the surrounding black aura condensed into an exaggerated sword light that swept forward!

"Bone barrier!"

Teacher Pu Shi held the Book of the Dead high up in the air and pointed his palm at the King Guard in front of him.

The thick bone barrier rose from the ground and blocked the path of the sword light.

One! Two! Three!

"Boom!!!"

The aura of the black sword light shattered three layers of the Wall of Bones in succession!

However, in the blink of an eye, more than ten layers of the Wall of Bones rose from behind and blocked the black skeleton.

The King Guard once again charged forward, raising its long blade and charging toward the wall!

"Bang!!"

The Wall of Bones instantly exploded upon impact!

"Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!"

Relying on the toughness of its body, the skeleton charged forward fiercely, smashing the Wall of Bones along the way into pieces!

However, every collision would cause the King Guard's charging speed to be slightly reduced.

The two players who were the slowest to escape could hear the sound of the Wall of Bones shattering behind them getting closer and closer. Cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

Li Qingran was anxious. She turned around and said, "Teacher."

Pu Shi did not answer. His expression was solemn as he stared at the skeleton and once again extended his hand to control the spell.

Looking carefully, the fragments of the Wall of Bones that had been shattered previously were mostly attached to the body of the skeleton.

They had actually covered the body of the King Guard with a thin layer of 'armor'.

It was these fragments that had gradually slowed down the charging speed of the King Guard.

Seeing that the last layer of the Wall of Bones was about to be smashed through, Pu Shi's pupils constricted, and the Book of the Dead in his hand emitted a dark light.

"Explode!"

"Boom!!!"

Along with the last towering Wall of Bones, the bone armor attached to the King Guard instantly exploded!

"Boom! Boom Boom!"

The King Guard suffered a violent explosion and its entire skeleton frame was sent flying by the impact of the explosion.

Suddenly, Li Qingran noticed a bloated figure.

Li Qingran was anxious. "Fang Heng! Get out of the way!"

Fang Heng dashed out from the side, blocking the path that the black skeleton was sent flying!

No one would have thought that Fang Heng could actually appear in that position out of thin air!

He had three layers of equipment on him, causing Fang Heng to appear extremely bloated.

"Chi!!"

The spear in Fang Heng's hand formed an afterimage in the air as he ruthlessly stabbed forward.

The passive purification effect of the spear had been activated!

"Boom!!!"

Golden Holy Light exploded in front of Fang Heng!

The vengeful spirit bodies that were nearby let out mournful wails as the golden light exploded before they turned around and retreated!

The black aura from the King Guard who had been hit by the spear kept on spreading out from its body!

A large amount of black fog was directly burned into ashes by the Holy Light!

However, in the next second, more black aura exploded from the King Guard's body.

Fang Heng was directly hit by the exploding aura, and he was sent flying out of the way.

"Let's go."

Li Qingran jumped to the place where Fang Heng was thrown back and pulled the latter out of the central hall.

Under the cover of the crowd, they finally got rid of the King Guard's pursuit and escaped safely.

Outside the central region, the players who had just experienced a life-threatening battle sat on the ground and quickly recovered their energy.

The plan had completely failed. The players had also witnessed the power of the King Guard and their hearts were somewhat heavy.

Fang Heng thought to himself that the King Guard was really powerful. That last attack triggered the purification effect of the holy spear of purification.

Unfortunately, the effect was very limited.

Pu Shi closed his eyes slightly. He thought about every scene of the battle with the King Guard, trying to find a weakness that could be used.

Fang Heng broke the silence and asked, "Right, what is that black fog in the center of the sealed area?"

Outside of the game, there were almost no hints. Fang Heng's understanding of necromancy was not deep enough, so he did not understand many things.

Li Qingran nodded and explained, "That is the aura of death. In essence, it is a type of necromancy energy. After being transformed by the Shrine of Bones, it forms energy that can be absorbed by the King Guard."

"The King Guard probably does not know how to absorb this energy yet."

"From the situation just now, the King Guard felt that this strength was useful, so it tried its best to absorb it from the death realm crevice. However, after it absorbed the energy, there was no efficient way to use it, so it swallowed it all at once."

"On the surface, it has absorbed a large amount of energy to increase its strength, but the energy has not been completely converted and absorbed."

Peng He pondered and then explained, "So just now, under the influence of Fang Heng's purification spell, a large amount of death aura that was absorbed by the King Guard dissipated and was purified from its body. Its strength should have been weakened a little."

"But under the current situation, the King Guard can absorb and replenish its energy very quickly."

Seeing that everyone was dejected, Peng He continued to cheer them on.

"Everyone, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Actually, our operation just now caused the King Guard to waste half a day's effort in absorbing energy. It can be considered a small success. Moreover, we have a better understanding of the King Guard, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed as he caught onto the main point.

He could not help but ponder in his heart.

Necromancy energy?

Was this thing the same thing as holy energy?

So what was the reason why he had the feeling that he could control this kind of energy?

Holy energy could be absorbed, but what about necromancy energy?

"I have another question." Fang Heng continued to ask, "The King Guard can absorb necromancy energy, but what about us? Can we absorb that kind of energy?"

The players all looked at Fang Heng in puzzlement.

Fang Heng was so good at the holy skill, but he didn't seem to know much about the basic knowledge of necromancy.

Was he really not a spy sent by the holy faction to infiltrate their Necromancer Association?

Fang Heng looked at the crowd curiously, wondering what was going on.

"Ahem…"

As a worker, Dong Jiachen coughed lightly to help his boss out of his predicament, "It's not completely impossible to absorb. The troublesome part is that absorbing this necromancy energy that contains a large amount of resentment requires a prior transformation, and the transformation takes a lot of time."

"Moreover, the undead aura has a strong corrosive nature, and long-term corrosion of the body will lead to many adverse reactions. Many necromancers' poor health is related to this aspect. In short, absorbing this energy is not worth it."

"The King Guard's main body is an undead creature, so it will not suffer any backlash from absorbing this energy. Of course, its conversion rate is also not very good."

Fang Heng did not have a thorough understanding of the basic logic of necromancy, but he knew the conclusion.

This thing could be absorbed.

Ordinary players were afraid that the aura of the undead would corrode their bodies and affect their bodies.

But he wasn't afraid.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and suddenly had an inspiration. He said thoughtfully, "Everyone, I have an idea."

Everyone looked at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng gestured and said, "What if we can find a way to extract all the aura of death from the central region?"

"Huh? Extract it?"

The player was quite curious about Fang Heng's imagination and looked at Fang Heng inquiringly.

Fang Heng continued to explain, "The King Guard is using the power of the death realm crevice to continuously strengthen itself, right? So in theory, the longer we drag this out, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Everyone nodded their heads repeatedly.

This was also what the players were most worried about.

They couldn't beat them in a fight, so dragging this on would be even worse.

It was just a slow death.

And it was precisely because of this that Instructor Pu Shi had been under a lot of pressure during this period of time.

Fang Heng pondered and continued, "So I think we should change the method. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, we should think of a way to extract the death aura from the hall and not let the King Guard absorb it. We can even go a step further and extract the death aura from the King Guard."

Fang Heng silently added in his heart, "Mm, then I'll try to see if I can absorb the death aura."

When everyone heard Fang Heng's whimsical thoughts, they all frowned.

It didn't seem right.

However, the players couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

"Fang Heng, the accumulation of a large amount of death aura will result in negative consequences. For example, the revival of undead creatures, the mutation of the environment, the mutation of the undead's life form, and so on."

While they were discussing, Instructor Pu Shi opened his eyes and said, "Currently, the fallen corridor is in a state of disorder. The vengeful spirit bodies we encountered previously were also produced by the dispersal of a large amount of death aura."

"Transferring the death aura out of the central area and accumulating it in the fallen corridor will also cause trouble."

"However, the method you mentioned is indeed a palliative method. In a short period of time, it can have some effect, somewhat slowing down the rate at which the King Guard is enhanced…"

Hearing Pu Shi's words, Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows and had a thought.

He could not help but raise his head and say, "Teacher, what if we can put the necromancy energy body into the container?"

Container!?

All the players looked at Fang Heng in unison.

"What container?"

…

After more than half an hour, the players followed Fang Heng back to the temporary camp and opened the door of a large container next to the temporary camp with Fang Heng.

As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a holy aura.

The necromancy players frowned.

They turned on their flashlights and looked inside the container carefully. Three huge stone pillars were quietly stacked at the door of the container.

Sealing stones?

There was no lack of players who knew what they were talking about. When they saw the sealing stone, they were shocked.

The sealing stone was a rare item, and a sealing stone this big was even rarer.

Chapter 819: Cooperation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Oh my god! Where did he get this?

Other than the three giant-sized sealing stones that were piled up in the warehouse, there were also many strange sculptures and paintings in the warehouse.

They were emitting Holy Light fluctuations.

So…

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Fang Heng.

They all had the same thought, "Why did you put so many holy items and sealing stones here in advance?"

The players looked at Fang Heng even more strangely.

In the past, players often joked that Fang Heng was a spy from the holy faction.

Now, the evidence was right in front of them.

Faced with everyone's doubtful eyes, Fang Heng coughed lightly and said seriously, "Don't look at me like that. In fact, I'm an artist."

This reason wasn't very convincing.

However, considering that Fang Heng had always been such a flamboyant person, the players actually felt that it was normal.

They felt that it was very normal for this kind of thing to happen to Fang Heng.

Pu Shi frowned and pondered in his heart.

With the sealing stone, it was indeed possible to store a large amount of death aura safely within it.

In this way… would the battle method change and they could try and compete with the King Guard for the aura of death?

There was a possibility.

Unknowingly, Fang Heng had found a strange path for everyone.

The players could not find an answer from Fang Heng's face, so they all looked at Instructor Pu Shi, who had fallen into silence.

Pu Shi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mm, let's move a sealing stone over first. We might as well give it a try."

"Okay."

The players heard this and walked into the warehouse.

Soon, everyone stood around the sealing stone.

No one said anything. It was as if the players had an agreement and they all focused their gazes on Fang Heng.

"Huh? What's wrong now?"

"Fang Heng, to be honest, how did you move such a heavy stone in?"

…

Until late at night, the players used the trolley to move a large sealing stone with great effort to the entrance of the sealed area in the middle of the fallen corridor.

Pu Shi looked at the inside of the fallen corridor again and nodded. "Okay, let's begin."

A few players held the Book of the Dead and carefully walked forward.

The sealed area in the center was filled with a thick aura of death.

The player didn't need to get too close. They just stood outside the door of the sealed area in the center and raised their hands toward the sealed area.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

Under the control of the Book of the Dead, the death aura was sucked out by the players from the inside of the fallen corridor. It was then infused into the huge sealing stone through the body which acts as an intermediate node.

The sealing stone also began to emit a faint dark light.

The remaining players nervously looked inside the room, on guard against the undead creature that could surge out of the sealed area at any time.

Fang Heng stood at the side, his eyes covered with a layer of red light.

The black aura was gradually being absorbed.

The density of the aura in the room began to gradually decrease.

However, the creature in the hall did not have any reaction.

There was no problem.

Five minutes passed, and everything was normal.

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, the player revealed happy expressions.

Being able to weaken the strength of the King Guard in the central hall without bloodshed was the best!

Therefore…

Fang Heng also tried to reach out his hand towards the central area, trying to guide the undead aura.

However, the aura did not react at all and did not follow his guidance at all.

Fang Heng frowned.

He felt that the aura was resisting him.

How could this be?

Fang Heng lowered his head and looked at his hands.

That's right!

The problem was with the sacred equipment on him.

In order to better fit the equipment, he had to switch to the sacred study state. In his current state, it was too difficult to obtain the undead aura.

Forget it.

Fang Heng shook his head and gave up on the idea of absorbing the undead aura himself.

With so many high-tier players helping him convert, it would not make a difference if he was excluded.

Thinking of this, Fang Heng turned his head to look at Li Qingran, who also had a happy expression on her face. "Is this the end of the day? The conversion of energy can't be that fast, right?"

"Yes."

Li Qingran agreed with Fang Heng's opinion.

The speed at which the players absorbed and converted the energy wasn't very fast. There were still many people left behind to guard against possible dangers.

"Today, I'm just trying out the plan and gathering some relevant information. I think Instructor Pu Shi will carry out some optimizations after he returns."

…

Federation, Wasteland Apocalypse, District 11, Southwest region.

During the weekly meetings, the Federation had recently received a lot of information and complaints about Ark Company.

The Federation was also a little confused when they realized that a new company that they had never heard of was expanding in the game at an extremely fast speed, and it had also caused some of the companies to report about them.

What was the background of this company?

After carefully looking through the information, they realized that this technology company called Ark Company was extremely powerful.

In just one week, they had already purchased five large-scale safe area shelters under Raptor Company.

"The above is the report about Ark Gaming Company."

"Ark Company is not registered in the Federation's database. We believe that it might be an imposter company."

"In addition, from the information gathered from the outside world, Ark Company has some kind of ability to control mutated beasts."

"We've received a report from a company claiming that Ark Company is related to the anti-federation forces, but there is currently no valid evidence to support this."

The commander in charge of the Federation's Southwest region, Alba, listened to his subordinate's report and could not help but feel a little curious.

A player company that appeared out of nowhere?

Ark Company acted mysteriously and rarely interacted with players. They also possessed powerful abilities from unknown sources.

Based on this information, they did indeed look like anti-federation forces.

There was no other way. If too many people reported about the company, they could only go over and investigate.

Alba rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

These few days, he had been working hard on the main storyline mission. He really did not want to cause any more trouble.

His assistant suggested, "Commander, the higher-ups are still urging us to work together on the main storyline mission. Should we use this opportunity to propose a collaboration with Ark Company?"

"Huh?"

Alba's eyes lit up.

That's right!

He would go to the Ark Company to collaborate and find out more about them!

…

[Hint: Player's level has been upgraded to Level 23. Player has obtained an additional 102 zombie clones. Player's current number of zombie clones: 609.]

Magic arrays appeared under Fang Heng's feet one after another.

The 102 new zombie clones stood behind Fang Heng.

After more than a week, Fang Heng had collected all the evolution crystals he needed to level up to Level 23 through purchasing and mining.

Another 100 zombie clones had been obtained!

His collection speed had increased significantly once again!

Fang Heng was in a good mood after returning to the game from outside the fallen corridor. He opened the character hint.

[Hint: Level up for the next phase requires Tier 1 fusion evolution crystal*1,000, Tier 2 fusion evolution crystal*3,000.]

The next phase of leveling up was not difficult. In order to level up, he would slowly farm monsters and hack for sometime.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 820: The Primeval Forest

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For the past week, Fang Heng had been relying on his zombie clones to hack into the game.

After the Tier 2 space tearing device was completed, the space passage was finally opened.

Every day, Fang Heng would not only pay a large number of contribution points to Raptor Company to repay the debt, but he would also send a large number of ore resources and artwork through the teleportation passage to District 8 of the Zombie Apocalypse.

He wanted to get the best deal out of the Wasteland World. Some of the resources included the Wasteland World's specialty, the spatial crystal.

This kind of spatial crystal ore was extremely rare. After spending more than a week, he had only collected 34 units.

If he wanted to get the best out of it, he needed to think of ways to obtain more zombie clones, raise his character's level faster and complete the cycle.

Fang Heng was planning his next level-up plan when Mo Jiawei pushed open the door and entered.

"Fang Heng, someone from the Federation has arrived. They've been waiting for you for quite some time. They specifically said that they're looking for you, and from what I heard, they're looking for us to work together."

Federation?

Work together?!

Could this be a trap?

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's go and meet them."

Alba and his two assistants were waiting in the living room.

They rode the SUV all the way to the Ark Company's headquarters. The three of them were extremely shocked.

The area surrounding the safe area had been cleaned up completely.

Even the mutated beasts could not be found!

It was even more apocalyptic than the apocalypse.

Previously, Alba had felt that the information about Ark Company's development was exaggerated. Now, he felt that this description was already very subtle.

After entering the Ark Company, Alba realized that the company was even more mysterious. There were almost no players in the entire safe area.

After waiting in the lounge for more than 20 minutes, Alba finally saw the boss of the Ark Company.

A young man wearing a mask.

A mask…

This mask seemed very familiar…

"Hello, I'm Alba, the direct commander of the federal region."

Alba stood up and extended his hand in a friendly manner as he sized up the person in front of him.

"Hello, I'm Fang Shuo."

Fang Shuo…

Alba's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered the series of events that happened in District 9 of the Vampire Apocalypse a while ago.

That person was called Fang Shuo and he was also wearing a mask!

Thinking about it carefully, it was even more coincidental that there seemed to be rumors about a super-sized company from the high-tier game at that time…

Could it be the Ark Company?

What a coincidence!

Thinking about it carefully, even the timing matched!

The Ark Company had appeared two days after the end of the Vampire Apocalypse.

Alba's expression changed several times.

At first, he didn't think in this direction, but now that he thought about it, it seemed like everything matched!

"What's wrong?" Fang Heng was puzzled. "You seem very nervous."

Alba composed himself and said tentatively, "Nothing much. Some time ago, a person named Fang Shuo also appeared in the world of the vampires. He wore a mask just like you. I think it's quite a coincidence."

"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence."

Fang Heng hummed in agreement and asked, "I heard that you're here to work with us?"

"Yes, that's right. In fact, apart from Ark Company, our Federation has also invited many large player companies to cooperate with us."

"We're here with sincerity, so I won't beat around the bush."

Alba straightened his body as he spoke.

"Our Federation has always locked onto the progress of the main storyline mission of District 11 of the Wasteland Apocalypse. The current stage of the main storyline mission is very difficult, and there is also a time limit. We have already wasted a lot of time on the mission."

"The mission may have the risk of failure, so this time, we are here to invite your company to participate. I have personally come over to show my sincerity."

Main storyline mission?

Hearing this, Fang Heng's interest was slightly greater.

The difficulty of the main storyline mission was mostly higher than normal missions.

This meant that the probability of finding a high-tier creature was higher!

In the past week, he had indeed purchased quite a number of low-tier evolution crystals, but there was no sign of high energy crystals.

He still had to think of a way to farm the crystals.

Fang Heng raised his head and asked, "What's the specific information about the mission?"

"Well, in general, we have found that there is a scientific research team that is related to the Wasteland Apocalypse. Before the apocalypse broke out, they had already entered the primeval forest area to explore."

"At this stage, we need to enter the interior of the primeval forest to explore and find traces of this team."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin. He felt that Alba's words were very vague. It was likely that he was hiding a lot of important information.

That was normal.

After all, it was related to the main storyline.

No one wanted outsiders to be involved.

Fang Heng continued to ask, "Is the primeval forest area very dangerous?"

"It's very dangerous. There are a large number of mutated beasts in the primeval forest area. Moreover, the mutated beasts are generally of a higher level and are very difficult to deal with. In addition, the primeval forest area is extremely vast. It's difficult to search for them, and the logistical reserves are also difficult to maintain. This greatly increases the difficulty of the search."

"Are there high-tier creatures?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed that there are high-tier creatures of Level 5 and above in the primeval forest. It's extremely dangerous."

It seemed… not bad?

It was a good place to farm crystals.

Fang Heng pondered and asked, "What about the remuneration?"

"We can discuss the remuneration, but there's one thing that our Federation will not give in to. This is because it involves the main storyline mission. All the mission items obtained during the mission must be handed over to our Federation for processing. In return, we will give you some compensation in terms of remuneration."

"Of course." Fang Heng was not interested in the main storyline itself. He nodded and said, "This is not a problem."

Hearing Fang Heng agree to it, Alba heaved a sigh of relief.

The Federation was determined to obtain the main storyline mission of the Wasteland World. For this, they were willing to spend some money.

"However, I also have a suggestion."

Alba looked at Fang Heng. "Please speak."

"I really need the high energy evolution crystal right now. I'll settle the payment with the high energy evolution crystal. What do you think?"

Alba lowered his head and thought for a moment.

High energy evolution crystal was rare.

Many high-tier research materials would use it.

In recent years, the Federation had killed many high-tier life forms. They had some stock, but not many.

If the Ark Company could really help them complete the main storyline mission, the high energy evolution crystal could also be used as a trading item.

"Alright, I will communicate with the higher-ups. If your company performs well in the mission, the Federation is willing to provide additional rewards."

Alba nodded and agreed. He then probed, "Oh right, I heard that your company also has a method to control the mutated beasts?"

"Hahaha, yes, but there is still a difference as compared to the Federation."

Fang Heng laughed and brought the topic back to the mission itself. "When do we gather to start the mission?"

"The first and second batch of companies that we are working with have already arrived at the primeval forest region a week ago. If it's convenient, we can start at any time. I wonder when you will be able to bring your people to the primeval forest?"

Alba said as he gestured to his assistant beside him. "If you need any other assistance during the process, you can contact my assistant."

"Thank you. There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll buy a safe area from Raptor Company near the mission assembly point."

It would be too troublesome to let the Lickers mass suicide again and wait for the proliferators to appear.

He might as well spend his contribution points to buy a safe area from the Raptor Company.

That way, he could use the teleportation passage in the safe area to send the Lickers there.

After all, it was a primeval forest. Perhaps there were some rare ores there?

When the time came, he could also dig them and bring them back.

This round of investment might not necessarily be a loss.

"Ah? What? Buy one?"

Alba was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Good heavens, buying just like that? Such big words?

Or did he say it in front of him on purpose?

Was he deliberately showing off his strength?

Alba quickly adjusted his emotions. He realized that after coming here, his emotions were unconsciously guided by Fang Heng.

He increasingly felt that Fang Heng was somewhat unfathomable.

"Alright, I'll take my leave first. Contact me when you reach the primeval forest region."

"Alright."

After watching Alba and the people from the Federation leave, Mo Jiawei asked, "Fang Heng, are we going to have connections with the Federation? There won't be any trouble, right?"

"It's just a collaboration. There won't be much of a problem. The Federation's main storyline mission isn't important. The main reason we're going over this time is to think of ways to get more high energy evolution crystals."

Mo Jiawei nodded. "Alright, as long as you know what you are doing."

Fang Heng rubbed his wrist.

It just so happened that the fallen corridor had been absorbing the aura of death for the past two days, so he could take a breather and enter the game.

Taking advantage of this time, he would go to the primeval forest region to grind for a large wave of monsters.

His character's level had to be raised, and so must the level of the space tearing device!

…

At noon the next day, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei arrived at the Federation's designated assembly point at the periphery of the primeval forest region.

There were many player teams coming and going to the gathering point region.

The Federation had established a large camp here. The camp could provide a small amount of protection for the players.

The approximate location of this mission was only known to be inside the primeval forest.

Due to the vast area of the forest, it was extremely difficult to search for the missing research team in such a large area.

After receiving the mission, the Federation chose to work alone.

After trying hard for a long time, they finally realized that they were not strong enough when they saw that the time limit for the mission was about to arrive. Hence, they decided to swallow their pride, be humble and rely on other players to complete the mission together.

In the Wasteland Apocalypse, it was not uncommon for high-tier players to be able to control mutated beasts.

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei casually led the three Lickers into the temporary camp area.

The Lickers, which were affected by the radiation, looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The players had never seen such a mutated creature before. In addition, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were both wearing masks, so it was really strange.

Most players would look at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei a few more times.

As the commander in charge of the Southwest region, Alba had been in charge of contacting several cooperative gaming companies in the Southwest region during this main storyline mission.

When he saw Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei, he quickly came up to them.

"You're here so soon?"

Alba was a little surprised by the efficiency of the Ark Company.

The other large player companies, from the initial communication to finalizing the cooperation, had to go through internal audit, personnel preparation, weapons and equipment, material allocation, and gathering of personnel.

It would take at least five days to go through a series of procedures, and it would take a month to even have a support team.

Alba carefully glanced at the mutated beasts controlled by Fang Heng.

Their appearance was ferocious and terrifying. Their skin was festering, and their muscles were squirming strangely. Large amounts of white bones were exposed.

Moreover, it seemed like they had never seen them before.

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, we don't have anything to prepare."

"Alright, follow me. I'll take you to collect the mission first."

Alba felt that Fang Heng was not very good at chatting.

He had already reported the joint investigation report of the Ark Company to his superiors, but he had yet to receive a reply from them.

Alba could not confirm whether the two people in front of him were responsible for causing trouble in District 9 of the Vampire Apocalypse.

Fang Heng followed Alba into the inner part of the camp. After meeting an NPC and talking to him to trigger the process, he successfully triggered the mission.

[Hint: Player accepts team mission-missing research team.]

Mission name: Missing research team.

Mission difficulty: SS-.

Mission description: During the process of tracking down the glorious sunlight association, Professor Eddington accidentally discovered that his former good friend, Dodd, had conducted a related investigation. Before the apocalypse, Dodd had conducted a special investigation in the primeval forest, and his whereabouts were unknown, Professor Eddington suspected that Dodd might be in danger.

Mission requirements: Please look for Dodd's traces in the primeval forest.

Mission time remaining: 2 months and 8 days.

The primeval forest was extremely vast, and the mission difficulty had also reached SS-level.

Fang Heng was eager to give it a try.

This meant that there was a very high probability of high-tier mutated monsters appearing in the primeval forest!

Fang Heng's main purpose this time was not to complete the main storyline but to farm high-tier monsters in the primeval forest.

"Because we need to change our protective suits in time, we have already built eight temporary resting areas in the primeval forest during this period of time."

Alba handed a map to Fang Heng and gave a brief introduction of the situation in the primeval forest. "The Federation has provided all the companies and teams working with us with materials, protective suits, and other battle materials. We hope that it can help everyone."

"As the search area for the primeval forest gradually expands, we are also planning to build more camps to expand the search area."

"Oh right, the primeval forest is very large. In order to facilitate the management, we are mainly responsible for the search of the Western region."

"No problem."

Fang Heng took the map from Alba's hands and examined it carefully.

The primeval forest was quite large. The Federation had very thoughtfully marked out the danger zones and resting areas on the map. They even used various colors to differentiate the danger levels.

"Alright, when do we set off?"

"Right now. We're going in to take a look." Mo Jiawei looked at him in puzzlement. "Alba, you're also planning to go into the primeval forest with us?"

"Yeah, I'm also planning to take a look. Why don't we go in together? Do you mind?"

Alba was planning to go inside the primeval forest to take a look. At the same time, he also wanted to get more information about Ark Company.

He was ready to go with the people from Ark Company.

"Why would I mind?"

Mo Jiawei had a warm and hospitable look on his face. "Then let's form a team and take care of each other along the way."

Fang Heng followed Alba to the logistics office to collect the materials provided by the Federation. Then, he led the three accompanying Lickers directly into the primeval forest region.

As they walked along the small path leading to the exit, Alba looked at Fang Heng and then turned back to look at Mo Jiawei, feeling a little guilty.

"Just the three of us? Where's the rest of the team?"

The other gaming companies and large guilds all had teams of dozens or hundreds of people. Ark Company's name was quite big. Why were there only two people?

"Including you, there are now three people. Three heroes combating versus Lu Bu. Let's go."

The three Lickers led the way. Fang Heng followed the map and entered the inner area of the primeval forest.

Alba frowned.

He had a feeling that the mission this time would not be so smooth.

…

"Rustle, Rustle, Rustle…"

Gradually entering the primeval forest and after passing through an initial section of the safe area, a soft sound came from both sides of the bushes.

"Be careful, both of you!"

Alba reminded softly, "From the sound, it sounds like a mutated wild wolf. Its strength is around Level 2 to Level 3. They often appear in groups."

Just as he finished speaking, several grayish-brown mutated beasts walked out from the bushes in front.

Level 3 mutated beast.

It was a mutated beast of a wild wolf creature. There was a disgusting sarcoma growing on its neck. Its eyes were flashing with yellow light, and it looked fierce.

Rustle…

More mutated wild wolf creatures came out from the bushes and surrounded the team.

"Hiss!!"

The Lickers rushed forward as soon as Fang Heng gave the order!

Alba raised his beam weapon and carefully hid beside Fang Heng to observe.

It was a special reptilian mutated beast controlled by Ark Company.

He had already taken some photos and asked the logistics department to check, but he didn't get any information for now.

It was difficult to determine what kind of creature it was just from its appearance, but it did look a little like a human.

In the information, Weixing Technology's description of the combat strength of the mutated beasts that Ark Company could control was very exaggerated.

Alba narrowed his eyes.

Indeed, what he said was true.

The combat strength of the mutated beasts of Ark Company was very high!

Even though they were surrounded by five or six mutated wolves simultaneously, they were still not at a disadvantage!

Alba suddenly frowned and realized the danger. He raised his energy beam gun and fired at the bushes nearby. "Be careful."

"Roar!"

A few more mutated beasts suddenly appeared from the bushes on the left and right, charging straight at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng flipped his wrist, and the demon hunter broadsword appeared in his hand.

He easily dodged to the right to avoid the attack of the mutated beasts, and the demon hunter broadsword slashed forward.

"Chi!!"

The broadsword easily slashed the neck of the mutated beast, leaving a bloody mark.

Slash!

The mutated beast fell to the ground without any sound.

Fang Heng's powerful attribute had already caused a crushing effect. A low-tier mutated beast was not a problem at all.

Alba's eyelids twitched, and he was shocked.

A player with close-combat attributes?

In the game, the number of players who fought in close combat was very small.

Because the early stages of the game world were too dangerous, the death rate was too high. If one was not careful and the protective suit was broken, they would face the risk of death.

It was far from being as comfortable and relaxed as a long-range player.

The blood of their companion aroused the ferocity of the mutated beasts, and more and more of them surrounded Fang Heng.

"Chi Chi, Chi Chi…"

More sounds came from all around.

Alba's heart sank. He had rich combat experience in the Wasteland World. Based on his experience, he could feel that a large number of creatures were rapidly approaching!

His luck today was not good.

The mutated beasts of the Ark Company were very good at fighting, but it was difficult for them to fight against four hands.

Alba took two steps back and reached out his hand to press on the signal flare on his waist.

The signal flare developed by Raptor Company had the effect of sending out signals and driving out a small number of mutated beasts at the same time.

Of course, this thing was not very reliable. Sometimes, it could not chase away the mutated beasts but ended up attracting more mutated beasts over.

"Fang Shuo, judging from the sound, there are a lot of mutated beasts. We have to think of a way to leave first."

"Don't panic. They are not enemies."

"Huh?"

Alba looked at Fang Heng in surprise.

Not enemies?

How could they be teammates?!

"Chi Chi Chi!!"

In the next moment, several blood-red figures dashed out from the surrounding bushes!

They pounced on the mutated wolves.

Alba was stunned and his pupils constricted.

"Mutated beasts!"

More and more Lickers rushed out from the surrounding bushes, instantly surrounding the wolves in the center!

The mutated wolves in the center sensed the threat and growled menacingly.

Alba looked at the large group of Lickers in astonishment.

They were all mutated creatures controlled by Ark Company?!

There were at least a hundred of them!

The group of Lickers that broke into the forest instantly surrounded the mutated wolves in the middle.

Ark Company's control over the mutated beasts had reached such a level?

Alba looked at Fang Heng with a Hint of fear in his eyes.

"Go!"

Fang Heng waved his hand.

The Lickers received the order and immediately pounced forward!

The modified Lickers had inherited part of Fang Heng's attributes, so they could completely crush the Level 3 mutated wolves. As they had the advantage in numbers, the Lickers almost instantly slaughtered over 20 mutated wolves.

The heavy smell of blood was left on the spot.

After the battle, Fang Heng waved his hand at the specks on the ground.

[Hint: You have obtained complete evolution crystals*5, Tier 1 evolution crystal*1.]

It was too little.

Fang Heng curled his lips.

After finishing the massacre, the Lickers quickly scattered into the surrounding bushes. Under Fang Heng's orders, they were on guard around the team, while also killing the ignorant mutated beasts around them.

Alba was even more astonished. His evaluation of Ark Company had once again risen to an extremely dangerous level.

Mo Jiawei patted Alba on the shoulder and said, "Oh right, Brother, the primeval forest is so big. How are we going to find it? Do you have any suggestions?"

There was a time limit for players wearing protective suits, so most players could not stay in the primeval forest for too long. If they wanted to explore the primeval forest, most of them would use the resting area in the forest to rest and reorganize.

"I heard that Dodd's team entered the primeval forest to carry out academic research, and then they disappeared."

Alba came back to his senses, then he nodded and said, "The information that our Federation has is actually not much. We don't know exactly which part of the forest Dodd went to, so we can only try our luck to find him. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. That's why we wasted a lot of time."

Mo Jiawei was speechless. "So… There's really no hint at all?"

"No."

Alba shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The difficulty level of the main storyline mission at this stage was extremely high.

Originally, every stage of the main storyline mission was very complicated. It was possible for some stages to take one to two years.

"I do have an idea."

As Fang Heng spoke, he took out the map of the primeval forest region that he had just obtained.

When Alba saw the map, he continued, "This is our current map. It's based on the information our Federation and the various large guilds have gathered. It's updated once a day. There's still a large portion of the region that has yet to be explored."

"Hmm, take a look at these purple areas."

Hearing this, Alba leaned over to take a look. He said in a deep voice, "Mhmm, most of these areas that have been marked by purple are extremely dangerous areas discovered by the Federation. Previously, when we were exploring, we confirmed that there were extremely dangerous high-tier mutated forms or large numbers of mutated forms living in groups, or that they were restricted by special terrain."

"The marking was done to alert them. Furthermore, because there are many companies exploring at the same time, the map cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate…"

Fang Heng said, "In other words, these areas have not been explored in detail."

Alba opened his mouth and nodded.

"Yes, indeed. We don't have enough manpower, and we also don't have the ability to clear out so many dangerous areas one by one. However, in general, we have scouted them…"

Fang Heng interrupted, "So in theory, there might be some key information that was missed in those areas. I don't think there's a need for us to continue searching in the primeval forest. We'll start from these dangerous areas to investigate."

"The key to solving a puzzle is often hidden in places that are easy to overlook."

Mo Jiawei understood and gave Fang Heng a knowing look.

He was just bluffing.

They had never thought of the main storyline from the start. They were only here to grind crystals, so of course, they had to target the danger zones.

"Moreover, it's very risky to keep the mutated forms in the danger zone. Subsequent teams who enter the area will be easily attacked by these mutated forms, so it's best to get rid of them."

Mo Jiawei also assisted from the side. He looked at Alba and said, "I remember that the cooperation agreement said that this type of mission difficulty is very high. The Federation has an extra bonus point subsidy, right?"

"Ah, right…"

Alba was confused by what he heard and nodded his head.

There was such a clause in the cooperation agreement.

However, he was still a little confused.

It sounded logical, however, he felt that something was strange.

Other players wouldn't even have time to run away when they see a dangerous area, why would their Ark Company want to enter the danger zone?

…

Three hours later in the primeval forest, all of a sudden, there was a "Boom!!!" sound.

A mutated human-faced ancient tree collapsed in front of Fang Heng.

It was a plant-shaped mutated form.

The mutated ancient tree was able to use its ability to bind its opponent and coordinate with a large number of mutated trees nearby to cause damage to the enemy.

Alba remembered very clearly that the player party that encountered the ancient tree before was attacked by the vine entanglement buried underground. They quickly retreated after sacrificing a small party.

They really couldn't win.

But now…

Under the attack of a large number of Lickers, the ancient tree was completely torn apart in less than five minutes.

[Hint: Your zombie clone killed a Tier 5 mutant elite mutant-the mutated human-faced giant tree. You received 203 survival points. You received high energy evolution crystal*1.]

After circling around three purple danger zones, they finally encountered a Tier 5 mutated creature.

It was relatively easy to deal with.

Fang Heng waved his hand and sucked the high energy evolution crystal that the mutated creature had dropped into his hand.

The efficiency was decent.

He estimated that he would be able to complete the next level-up of the space tearing device after staying here for two days.

Alba stood at the side and looked at Fang Heng with eager eyes.

The ability of the Ark Company's team was really beyond his expectations.

"Eh? That's…"

Alba suddenly noticed something.

Beside the fallen tree, there were a lot of tool remains scattered around.

He hurriedly walked over to check.

Eh!

Alba's heart skipped a beat, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He raised his head and waved at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei. "I found something! Come and take a look!"

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other, thinking that they actually found something just like that?

"I found the equipment toolbox of the researcher of Dodd's team!"

Beside the fallen tree, Alba was examining a toolbox that had been corroded on the outside. "I've compared it. The symbol on it is the mark of Dodd's team…"

"Click…"

As he spoke, Alba opened the toolbox.

He immediately threw all the items in the toolbox on the ground and took out a portable notebook.

[Hint: Player's party has obtained an item-researcher Dodd's notebook.]

[Hint: You are unable to trigger the main storyline mission and obtain the main storyline contribution points. You have obtained 5 King of Gods' points as compensation.]

Mo Jiawei also received the suggestion. He nodded at Alba. "Brother, remember to calculate the contribution points."

"Yes, Definitely."

Alba was excited.

He did not expect things to really progress so smoothly!

The Federation had been searching around the primeval forest for several months without any clues. The Ark Company had only been here for half a day and they were already extremely lucky to find clues related to the disappearance of Dodd's team!

Their luck was too good!

Alba lowered his head and quickly flipped through the notebook.

Fang Heng and Alba also went over to observe.

Alba frowned and said, "There is some information recorded in the notebook. It is related to Dodd's team that we are looking for. They entered the primeval forest on a mission and are conducting research on the Glory Club. There are a few coordinates recorded on it."

"Eh? This coordinate point has been circled." Alba flipped through it again and carefully looked at it. He frowned and said, "There are also a few strange symbols on it. I don't know what they are used for."

"Where are the coordinates?"

Fang Heng opened the map and compared the coordinates with the coordinates on the notebook.

"Right! This is the coordinates!"

Alba was overjoyed.

There was a hint about the mission!

The four coordinates were most likely related to the disappearance of Dodd's team!

"Let's go over and take a look?"

Looking at the map, the coordinates were in the deeper parts of the dense forest. It would still take some time to get there.

Without waiting for Fang Heng and Alba's response, Alba immediately sent a message through survival radio. He gathered the nearby federal team and guild team to gather at the coordinates. He wanted to see if there was any information left behind by Dodd's team in the coordinate point area.

"Alba, don't get too excited. Calm down. We shouldn't be too anxious. The mission is still more than two months away."

Fang Heng reached out and placed his hand on Alba's shoulder.

Alba was stunned. He looked at Fang Heng in confusion. "Huh?"

"In order for the follow-up team to rush over and conduct a detailed investigation, I think it's better for us to clear out the dangerous areas around us."

Alba pondered for a moment and became even more confused.

What does that mean?

What was he trying to say?

"So, we should still follow the steps. First, we should follow the plan and clear out the dangerous areas nearby so that we can make preparations for the future."

Mo Jiawei nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. This is the so-called plan before action. Ark Company has relied on stability to survive until now for so many years."
