“This is a signal device I copied from the badge. With it, the nemesis won’t attack you of her own accord.”
“Thanks.”
Fang Heng held the small iron piece, examined it for a moment, then tucked it into his backpack.
“Fang Heng, are we really going? It’s too dangerous in there.”
“It’s fine. We might find some useful information inside — maybe even something that can help treat Angel’s illness.”
“I’ve dragged you into this… all because of Angel.”
Fang Heng waved his hand.
“It’s nothing. I’d been meaning to get into the Meteorite Company to look for something anyway.”
[Hint: Your favorability rating with Victor has increased significantly.]
Victor pointed at a few boxes he’d brought down from upstairs earlier.
“By the way, these are energy crystals — the exoskeleton device burns through power far too fast. There are also a lot of weapon assembly parts stacked on the second floor. You’ll need to bring them all along.”
“Alright, leave it to me.”
Fang Heng nodded and set the vine zombies to work as coolies, hauling boxes of energy crystals and mechanical assembly parts…
As the two of them talked, the sound of a helicopter rose from outside the square.
“Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff…”
When he first got the helicopter from the Federation, Mo Jiawei had felt like he was dreaming.
God was simply too awesome — he’d even managed to pry a helicopter out of the Federation.
Even if it was only a fairly basic model without much carrying capacity.
In the co-pilot seat, Mo Jiawei looked down.
To get the helicopter here, Mo Jiawei had gone all in. He’d spent the last of his honor points to recruit a pilot straight from the Dark Knights.
“Hiss…”
Mo Jiawei sucked in a breath of cold air.
The hospital square was densely packed with the zombie horde, and Fang Heng stood right in the middle of them.
Four hulking figures stood beside him.
They were Tyrants!
Oh my god!
There were four of them!
Three more than last time!
Seeing four Tyrants up close, the shock hit even harder than before.
Mo Jiawei’s heart pounded. He was more determined than ever to cling to Fang Heng’s thigh.
After confirming Fang Heng’s safety signal, the helicopter landed steadily on the empty ground.
“Fang Heng, this…”
Stepping out of the cabin, Mo Jiawei looked around.
He was stunned.
D*mn it — in just a few days, Fang Heng had turned this place into a shelter?
Fang Heng came up to them. “It’s been a long trip. Where are the items?”
“They’re all on the plane. Thirteen barrels in total.”
“Well done!”
Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei on the shoulder.
With the nitrochloroform Mo Jiawei had brought, the final piece of the plan fell into place.
After a period of preparation, Fang Heng and the other two used the sewer to sneak into the Meteorite Company’s back garden in Area D.
This time, their goal was not to find the hidden Area S, but to kill more mutated spiders and find a way to earn more Tier 1 evolution crystals.
Although there were many zombies in the city, high-level hunters like the Tier 2 Licker had powerful predator instincts.
Once they sensed the Tyrant’s power, they rarely risked being reckless — most of the time, they simply fled.
In three days, Fang Heng had collected only 11 Tier 1 crystals.
It was far too few!
Nowhere near enough to reach Level 20.
In the back garden of Area D, the four Tyrants crawled out of the sewer first.
Fang Heng followed them up and poked his head out to survey the surroundings.
In just three days, the entire Meteorite Company had been overrun by mutated spiders.
White spider webs littered the ground of the back garden, along with a few ‘cocoons’ woven from the same silk.
“Chi, chi, chi…”
Fang Heng heard the noise and turned toward a shadow not far away.
Three mutated spiders were heading straight for him.
A Tyrant strode forward and threw a punch at the attacking spiders.
“Bang!”
There was a dull thud.
The mutated spider took the Tyrant’s punch head-on and was sent flying, crashing into the wall of the building.
The other three Tyrants strode forward as well, chasing after the spiders.
“Bang! Bang!”
More dull thuds rang out.
The Tyrants’ attacks were brutally simple. Each one grabbed a mutated spider with one hand and swung its fist with the other.
A straight punch, right into the flesh!
The three mutated spiders couldn’t withstand the onslaught and were pummeled to death by the Tyrants’ fists.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed the mutated spider*3. You have gained 53 survival points. You have gained a complete evolution crystal*1.]
After clearing the mutated spiders in the back garden, Fang Heng commanded the zombie clones to climb up from the sewer with boxes of equipment.
After a quick look around, Fang Heng nodded at Victor.
“Let’s begin, Victor. We’ll set up our ambush point here.”
Victor looked around as well.
He nodded. “Okay, I’ll need some time to prepare.”
According to the plan, Victor began setting up automatic cannons at the entrance of a building in Area D.
Fang Heng had the zombie clones raise their shovels, dig a very shallow trench in the ground, and pour gasoline into it.
The Tyrants were indeed powerful, but two fists could hardly fight off four hands. Against a large swarm of Tier 3 mutated spiders, there was a high chance they would fail.
Fang Heng’s monster-farming plan this time was very simple.
He had to find a way to lure every mutated spider in the Meteorite Company out into the open.
The four Tyrants would seal off the exit of the Area D building, while the automatic cannons provided the bulk of the firepower from the remaining force.
More explosive packets would be buried in the ground.
In the event of an uncontrollable accident, they could evacuate through the sewer at once.
Mo Jiawei couldn’t help with any of it. He stood silently at the back and watched.
“God, I brought over a dozen barrels of pesticide. Why is there only one barrel left?”
“It’s fine. I have my plans. You’ll find out soon enough.”
After more than an hour, all the automatic defense cannons were set up.
Fang Heng turned to Mo Jiawei and Victor.
“God, what’s next? Do we stay here?”
“Yes, get ready. There’s going to be a tough fight.”
Mo Jiawei looked at the open door of the laboratory building.
“Er… but Fang Heng, what if the spiders inside don’t come out?”
“They will. I have a plan.”
Fang Heng opened the game log as he spoke.
Long before settling on this plan, Fang Heng had already learned from Victor about the Meteorite Company Park’s circulating water supply and fire-pump systems.
The water supply pipeline and the sewer partially overlapped.
After that, the rest was simple.
He only needed to find a backup reservoir in advance and pour nitrochloroform into it.
Now, all Fang Heng needed was for the vine zombie stationed there to manually trigger the laboratory’s automatic fire-alarm sprinkler system.
The moment it went off, pesticide would spray throughout the entire Area D experimental building!
Kill all those d*mn bugs!
Mo Jiawei had no idea what Fang Heng had just done and blinked in confusion.
The order was given.
Fang Heng waited in silence…
