Chapter 66: Combat Effect
While the zombie clones were cleaning up the sewer, Fang Heng led the four evolved vine zombies back to the secret research room to move the corpse vines.
They ran back and forth five times.
Fang Heng finally moved all the large flower pots used to grow corpse vines to the corner of the underground parking lot.
“There are a total of 10 corpse vines. It’s a bit troublesome to bring them all back to prison.”
Looking at these corpse vines, Fang Heng felt troubled.
It was a long journey back to the prison from here and the flower pots were unusually heavy.
His modified motorcycle would probably need to make three or four trips before all of the flower pots could be transported back to the prison.
“Forget it, I’ll think of a solution when the time comes.”
After busying himself for half a day, Fang Heng was a little tired.
Under such a dangerous situation, he did not dare to go offline, so he simply got a simple bed and dozed off on the spot.
After sleeping for two hours, Fang Heng woke up again and stretched.
The group of zombies gathered under the sewer had been completely cleaned up.
[Hint: When you were hacking, your zombie clones killed 1502 zombies. You received 3090 survival points. You received evolution crystal fragment*267.]
[Hint: You received recipe-noodles with scallion oil, recipe-scallion pancakes.]
“Hehe, more recipes.”
[Hint: You learned recipe-noodles with scallion oil and recipe-scallion pancakes. Your cooking skill experience points +12.]
Fang Heng was already used to it. He patted the two recipes on his head and climbed down the ladder into the sewer.
“It stinks!”
When he landed on the ground, Fang Heng immediately smelled an unspeakable stench.
He covered his mouth and nose and carefully observed the internal environment of the sewer.
There was a tunnel on the left and right sides of the sewer respectively. The light from the flashlight shone on them but they were pitch-black and endless.
Because the sewer map only marked the entrance of the hospital, Fang Heng didn’t know which direction to go.
“It doesn’t matter. Better to leave the hospital first.”
Fang Heng randomly chose a direction and followed the zombies to clean up the zombies along the way.
Fang Heng endured the stench and walked forward for three minutes. Then, he heard a few splashes from the left side.
He raised his flashlight and shone it on a zombie that was lying at the bottom of the sewer.
It was bloated and had dark brown b.u.mps all over its body. Its entire body was emitting a foul smell.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and quickly took a few steps back.
Tier 1 mutated zombie-pus zombie.
The pus zombie was one of Tier 1 mutated zombies that were very difficult to deal with in the early stages of the game.
The pus zombie’s bloated body was filled with highly corrosive and highly infectious pus.
Once it died, there was a high chance that its body would explode and the pus would splatter everywhere.
If players were accidentally infected by the pus, other than their skin and muscles being corroded, there was also a high chance that they would enter the zombie virus infection state.
Other than that, the pus zombie’s attributes were all stronger than ordinary zombies.
Due to the pus zombie’s huge body, its weakness was that its movement speed was relatively slow.
Fang Heng touched the shotgun in his backpack and prepared to shoot the pus zombie in the head from a distance.
He thought for a moment and put the shotgun back.
“Hold on, I can try out the evolved vine zombies’ abilities.”
Fang Heng gave the order to the four vine zombies behind him to attack.
The vine zombies weren’t moving fast either, so they walked up unsteadily.
The vine zombies at the front raised their spears and stabbed forward.
“Chi!”
The spear happened to pierce a tumour on the pus zombie’s body.
The tumour exploded with a “pu” sound.
The corrosive pus splashed on the vine zombie’s body, making a chemical burning sound like “chi-chi”.
White smoke rose.
The highly corrosive pus corroded the vine zombie’s body, leaving black holes on it.
The vine zombie’s movements were not affected. It continued to raise its spear and thrust forward.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
Corrosive damage was not considered physical damage. It could not be reduced by the vine armour’s skills.
However, its damage was insubstantial against the vine zombie’s high HP. Moreover, it had a maximum recovery rate of 1% of its HP per second.
This little damage was nothing!
After receiving a few attacks, the pus zombie began to approach and counterattack. It raised its right hand and was about to swing out.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
A few vines suddenly shot out from the shoulder of the vine zombie.
The vines quickly wrapped around the arms of the pus zombie.
More and more vines grew out of the zombie’s body and entangled the pus zombie.
Fine barbs appeared on the vines and pierced into the skin of the pus zombie.
Dark red blood was drawn out along the vines and absorbed into the body of the vie zombie.
“Amazing! It’s absorbing nutrients!”
Fang Heng noticed that the vine zombie’s HP was recovering rapidly!
New vine branches quickly grew out of the black holes that had been corroded before, filling the holes.
“Urgh…”
A moment later, the pus zombie that had been drained dry let out a wail and fell to the ground, completely dead.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed the pus zombie. You have gained 11 survival points.]
“Okay!”
Fang Heng clenched his fists.
The evolved vine zombie clone fought a Tier 1 mutant zombie one-on-one. It won!
It was worth the 3,000 points spent!
This battle gave Fang Heng a clearer understanding of the abilities of the vine zombie.
Based on the combat ability of the vine zombies, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage against the other Tier 1 mutated zombies.
Not to mention when he had a large group of zombie clones to carry out the attack.
With that, the safety of the ‘hack’ could be greatly improved.
Fang Heng was extremely satisfied with the combat ability of the vine zombies.
Just as he was about to continue walking forward, two warnings popped up in the game log.
[Warning: You are in an extremely harsh environment. Due to the influence of the stench, as you stay in the sewer for a longer period, your HP will continue to decrease, and the rate of decrease will gradually increase.]
[Warning: You are in an extremely harsh environment. If you stay in the environment for a long period, there is a chance that you will enter an infected state.]
“There is such a negative effect.”
Fang Heng frowned again.
Walking on the ground was extremely troublesome, but walking in the sewer was also dangerous!
After thinking for a while, Fang Heng decided to control the two evolved vine zombies and the rest of the ordinary zombie clones to continue to explore and clean up the zombies they encountered along the way.
On the other hand, he brought the other two vine zombies back the way they came.
Fang Heng climbed out of the hospital’s sewer again.
Later, he would leave the hospital through the sewer. At that time, he would also take the corpse vines that he left in the parking lot with him.
He didn’t want them to be damaged by Alex when he woke up.
Fang Heng opened the construction page.
“Found it, a wooden crane.”
Fang Heng spent a lot of time building a crane to carry heavy objects up and down.
Since he couldn’t get close to the corpse vines, he could only stand in the distance and command the two vine zombies to carry and move them.
It took him nearly two hours to carry the ten heavy corpse vines into the sewer.
When he was done, Fang Heng entered the sewer again.
He used the newly made wooden manhole cover to seal the entrance, leaving the two vine zombies to guard the corpse vines.
Fang Heng then covered his mouth and nose and sped down the tunnel..
