“What’s the situation?”
Fang Heng put down the grilled meat in his hands and walked quickly to the window. He took out the children’s binoculars and looked in the direction of the explosion.
What the heck!
It was Alex!
He had awakened!
Fang Heng saw Alex at the corner of the street not far away.
The awakened Alex gave people a strong sense of oppression. His body was covered with a layer of wriggling corpse vine armour.
“Fortunately, I escaped ahead of time.”
“Boom!”
There was another loud sound.
Fang Heng’s eyelids could not help but twitch.
Alex’s left shoulder was. .h.i.t by the rocket launcher. His body was. .h.i.t hard and he crashed into the wall behind him.
“Bang!”
There were spider cracks on the wall as a result of the impact made by Alex’s strong back.
Alex’s left shoulder was blasted by the rocket launcher, leaving a huge wound. Dense brown branches were exposed from the wound.
Fang Heng moved his binoculars to another location and shouted, “What the f*ck!”
RPG-38!
Shoulder-mounted rocket launcher!
Awesome!
Was this the big boss of the federation?
Fang Heng was secretly speechless.
At this stage of the game, only the federation would be able to take out such a high-strength weapon that far surpa.s.sed the current version, regardless of the cost!
The RPG-38 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher was obtained through the exchange of King of G.o.ds’ points!
King of G.o.ds’ points were extremely rare, and even the federation had extremely strict restrictions every month, making it difficult for them to provide large amounts of them.
“Tsk tsk tsk, the federation is starting to play with their lives.”
Fang Heng held his binoculars as he observed, sighing in admiration in a low voice, as though he was a spectator.
“However, Alex isn’t a pushover either. The two rocket launchers only caused him to be slightly injured, but he does look a little miserable appearance-wise.”
He has been angered, just wait and see!
“Eh? What is that?”
While Alex was being attacked and on the ground, a player dashed out from the federation crowd.
He held a large tranquillizer gun in his hand and quickly rushed toward Alex.
“Chi! Chi!”
More than ten needles pierced into Alex’s body.
Alex, who was lying on the ground and was about to get up, swayed and then fell to the ground with a ‘plop’.
“Tranquilizer gun? Will that thing be useful against zombies?”
No.
Fang Heng quickly realized that the federation players had most likely used special drugs to temporarily control Alex.
“They’re quite ambitious. They want to capture him alive…”
Fang Heng continued to observe with his binoculars.
“But it’s not that simple, right?”
Attracted by the explosion of the rocket launcher, the zombies in the town swarmed toward the federation players.
There were even many mutated zombies among them!
Seeing this, the federation players immediately abandoned Alex, who had fallen into a coma and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
“What the h.e.l.l, they are going to run away just like that?”
In the blink of an eye, the federation players disappeared from Fang Heng’s sight.
“What is this operation about?”
This operation had completely stunned Fang Heng.
They had been so aggressive just a moment ago, how could they run away all of a sudden?
Fang Heng knew that Alex had a powerful self-healing ability.
It seemed that his injuries were serious now, but he would be able to fully recover in less than half an hour.
He seemed to be unconscious.
“Shall I go over and finish it off?”
Fang Heng suddenly felt a surge of greed.
“Greed my a*s!”
Fang Heng patted his forehead.
What was he thinking! What right did he have to finish that creature off now?
What if he suddenly woke up?
Wouldn’t it be good to live a peaceful life?
Fang Heng felt that the federation had escaped so quickly earlier on, so it could be a trap.
He put down the binoculars and turned back to continue grilling the meat.
Before going offline, Fang Heng divided the zombie team into two groups. One group continued to clean the sewers while the other group started to hack around the periphery of the villa to clear the zombies and earn points.
“Hmm, I have to ‘hack’ in the opposite direction from Alex to avoid being affected.”
After a tiring day, Fang Heng felt a strong sense of sleepiness after filling his stomach.
He went offline early to rest.
In the Phoenix Sound Gaming Company.
Fang Heng climbed out of the gaming cabin. He was wondering if he should go to the villa dormitory tonight or just make do in the lounge.
Coincidentally, the internal meeting of Team 3 had just ended. The employees walked out of the meeting room one after another.
“The federation is really rich. It’s a big deal.”
“Haha, it’s a big deal, but no one dares to take this job even if they are rich. Can you do it?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. After all, it’s a Tier 4 zombie. who can do that?”
“The resource point in Hope Town is going to be in big trouble. Do you have a friend there? Tell him to run…”
Fang Heng stopped in his tracks when he heard what the others said.
Hmm? Did they seem to be talking about Hope Town?
Fang Heng walked over and tried to stop one or two people to ask around.
Shen Qing, who was in the meeting room, saw Fang Heng pa.s.sing by and walked to the door. He stuck his head out of the meeting room and reached out his hand to him.
“Fang Heng? You’re here, just nice. Come in and have a chat.”
Fang Heng walked into the meeting room.
He noticed that there were several doc.u.ments spread out on the table in front of Shen Qing.
One of the pictures was of Alex!
Shen Qing beckoned Fang Heng to sit down.
“Come, sit down and talk.”
Fang Heng sat opposite Shen Qing.
“What were you discussing just now?”
“It’s about the mission in Hope Town.”
“Can I know?”
“Eh…”
Shen Qing was surprised for a moment, before smiling.
“What are you talking about? It’s not a secret.”
“Not long ago, the federation issued an emergency cooperation notice. The general content is that a powerful Tier 4 mutated zombie has appeared in Hope Town.”
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.
“That’s right, it was done by me.” he thought.
“It is estimated that the Tier 4 mutated zombie will cause great damage to the temporary federation warehouse resource point.”
“Not long ago, the federation had severely injured the mutated zombie and injected an anti-virus agent into his body, causing him to temporarily fall into a coma.”
“This kind of coma is extremely unstable. When the mutated zombie is stimulated by the outside world, he will immediately wake up.”
“Other than that, the federation believes that Alex has a powerful self-healing ability. It is expected that he will fully recover and wake up at noon tomorrow.”
Fang Heng thought to himself that they did not know Alex well enough. He was only slightly injured and had been knocked unconscious by the rocket launchers before he was ambushed by the federation.
Furthermore, with Alex’s self-healing ability, he had long recovered to his peak condition.
“Currently, the federation has already sent out invitations to various gaming companies to recruit players who can deal with a Tier 4 mutated zombie. If we can eliminate Alex, the federation can provide us with generous rewards.”
Hearing the word ‘reward’, Fang Heng’s interest was piqued. He almost blurted out, asking, “What kind of reward?”
“500 King of G.o.ds’ points. Also, the federation claims that the mutated zombie will enter hibernation after being exposed to low temperatures. If there is a way to bring him out of the town and hand him over to the federation, they will pay an additional 500 King of G.o.ds’ points.”
A total of 500 King of G.o.ds’ points! Handing them the subject alive was a total of 1,000 points as a reward!
The federation was truly affluent!
Fang Heng almost stopped breathing.
“I remember that there is a limit to the trading of the King of G.o.ds’ points, right? The monthly trading limit is 20 times the current player’s level?”
“Uh…”
Shen Qing hesitated again.
“There is indeed such a limit, but we can let the federation use the King of G.o.ds’ points to exchange for the physical materials in the game, and then trade the physical materials to us in the game.”
Fang Heng nodded.
Indeed, this was also a way to bypa.s.s the game’s settings..
