Chapter 433: Useless Teammates
Hearing the report, Kou Huai stood up from his chair and stared at the soldier. “What’s going on? Tell me clearly! ”
The Federation soldier who came to report felt that he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and his heart trembled.
That was all the information he had received. How could he be more specific?
“I have confirmed that Fang Heng has become the new commander of the Scavenger Army... ”
Kou Huai stood still for a moment, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
How could it be? Fang Heng had become the new commander of the Scavenger Army? Was it a joke? He had never thought that the plot of District 7 could develop like that, and even the a.n.a.lysis report of the intelligence department had never given such a possibility. How useless was the intelligence department?
“This is impossible! ” The head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, also stood up when he heard that and said sternly, “Impossible! This has never happened before. We have also tested it in other districts, and it is difficult to increase one’s Scavenger Army contribution points. Unless the contribution points are maxed out, it is impossible to meet the most basic promotion conditions, and even maxing out the points is a mere possible theory. Other than that, there are hidden conditions that are realistically impossible to achieve. We need more information to study. Fang Heng must have used other special methods... ”
“Shut up! ” Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the urge to tear apart Xiao Changle alive.
“Study? At this juncture? What’s the point? ! ” he thought.
“Sir, please calm down. Even if Fang Heng has taken over the Scavenger Army, the destruction of the army is still within our expectations. We only need to stick to the original plan for three months, and the crisis will naturally be resolved. ”
“It’s not the same. ” Another shelter commander shook his head and retorted, “Once a player controls the Scavenger Army, the threat they can pose will be greatly increased. ”
The commanders of District 7 then began to discuss discreetly.
“Moreover, that person is Fang Heng, who also has the ability to control a zombie team. ”
“However, if the Scavenger Army loses its supply of potions, they might lose control. Fang Heng might not be able to control them completely... ”
“I think we should immediately pressure Fang Heng to disband the Scavenger Army and apply for an arrest warrant from our superiors. We can report that Fang Heng is suspected of partic.i.p.ating in the terrorist action in District 7 and might be related to the anti-federation forces. We should bring hi under control first and then make a judgment. ”
Kou Huai took a deep breath and barely managed to remain calm. He mused, “How can it be so easy to bring Fang Heng under control? It’s not like I haven’t tried before. Fang Heng has the North River Heavy Industry backing him, and the North River Heavy Industry has influence within the Federation. As long as they are willing, they can delay the arrest warrant approval for a month. ”
Kou Huai turned around and stared at the head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, in the eye. He wished he could swallow him alive and sacrifice him to the heavens!
“Xiao Changle, can you guarantee that? Can you guarantee that Fang Heng won’t be able to develop the divine potion? ”
Facing Kou Huai’s murderous gaze, Xiao Changle felt a little guilty and didn’t dare to answer for a moment.
Kou Huai was burning with anger. He shouted sternly, “I’m asking you a question. Can you guarantee that the Scavenger Army will disappear completely in three months? ! ”
Xiao Changle replied with fear and trepidation, “I guarantee that the divine potion will never be developed within three months... ”
Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with hatred.
First, it was the large-sized guilds in District 7, and presently, it was the Federation’s own intelligence department.
How could he meet so many useless teammates? !
The matter had developed to the current point, and District 7 was in big trouble!
Once Fang Heng agreed to command the Scavenger Army, he would be more of a threat than Cook Barn, much greater!
Kou Huai no longer believed Xiao Changle’s answer at all.
If Fang Heng really developed the divine potion, he would have complete control over the Scavenger Army! Coupled with his large-sized zombie team, Fang Heng’s power would be unthinkable.
Kou Huai had spent a lot of time and effort to plan the execution, but it ended up helping Fang Heng greatly. He had helped to nurture a monster that could destroy District 7.
“No! That won’t happen. It won’t... ” Kou Huai comforted himself inwardly. He controlled himself to focus on the present and not think about the worst.
“Fang Heng! ” Kou Huai gnashed his teeth. He had no choice but to calm down and face the present terrible situation.
What he was currently worried about was not the main storyline. It was Fang Heng, a ticking time bomb.
What if Fang Heng refused to even negotiate?
For a moment, Kou Huai felt that Fang Heng was 100 times more difficult to deal with than the anti-federal organization!
“Sir. ”
“Yes? ”
“There’s another thing I have to report to you. About an hour ago, Fang Heng’s main storyline contribution points increased significantly by 12,000 points. He has already beccome the fourth place on the main storyline leaderboard rankings of District 7. ”
“What? ! ”
...
The news of Fang Heng having replaced Cook Barn as the commander of the Scavenger Army of District 7 spread like wildfire.
The large-sized guilds in District 7 were in an uproar.
After the initial shock, the players of the large-sized guilds and the Federation of District 7 suddenly felt extremely sullen.
Countless people cursed in their hearts, “Those idiots from the Federation of District 7! What rotten luck for us to have met such lousy teammates like those from the Federation! After spending so much time, effort, manpower, and resources, not only did our joint sniping with the Federation fail to hit Fang Heng, but it even helped him rise to the top? ”
The various guilds went to the Federation to seek an explanation.
In the end, the Federation promised repeatedly that the Scavenger Army would collapse within three months and asked all the player guilds to hold out for three months.
Every player guild in District 7 was panicking, afraid that they would be targeted by the Scavenger Army led by Fang Heng.
However, Tian Zhen felt that everything was not that simple!
There was always a what if when it came to Fang Heng, for he would always give them an unexpected scare.
What if he thought of a way to keep the Scavenger Army going?
In the past, Fang Heng entering District 7 was not that much of a problem. At most, their guild in District 7 had to cede a portion of the benefits they received, causing a redistribution in the overall benefits.
However, presently, Fang Heng had successfully become the commander of the Scavenger Army.
Then, it was no longer as simple as the guild ceding a portion of their benefits received. It was even possible for Fang Heng to lead the Scavenger Army and completely conquer them!
The more Tian Zhen thought about it, the more restless he felt.
A veteran player who had followed the guild for more than ten years suggested, “Guild leader, if we cooperate with Fang Heng now- ”
Tian Zhen turned around and glared at him, interrupting, “Are you crazy! Cooperate with the Scavenger Army? ”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through. ”
“Get out! ”
“I’m sorry. ”
Tian Zhen furrowed his brows tightly, the suggestion lingering in his mind. He mused, “Cooperate with Fang Heng? Impossible! The Federation would never allow that, and going against the Federation is throwing one’s life away. Openly cooperating with Fang Heng is absolutely out of the question! But, how about behind the scenes... ? ”
He continued pondering, “Fang Heng’s already made his move. Not only us, but the Federation’s also made their move. However, not only did the Federation not manage to suppress Fang Heng, but they even helped him expand his influence in District 7. Fang Heng has the strength, and even luck is on his side! Instead of continuing to oppose him, it might be better to think of ways to cooperate with him... ”
