Chapter 262 Islanders
Zhang Zhe didn’t have much of a good impression of Fang Heng as well.
He secretly despised Fang Heng’s greed.
“How much do you want?”
“A ticket to the main storyline mission. How much do you think I can sell it for if it’s made public?”
Zhang Zhe gritted his teeth, “We need two tickets to partic.i.p.ate in the mission. In exchange, we can provide you with some mission-related information and also provide the prison with a batch of materials worth 500 King of G.o.ds’ points as compensation.”
“If you had said that, then I would have agreed to it long ago!” Fang Heng thought to himself and did some mental calculations.
With the Federation joining, there were pros and cons.
No matter what, materials worth 500 King of G.o.ds’ points were still tempting.
“Alright, welcome to the team. Now, you can tell me the information related to this mission.”
“Due to the uniqueness of the main storyline mission, it is inconvenient for me to reveal the details of the mission to you.”
Zhang Zhe adjusted his state of mind and secretly suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
“The first-generation meteorite will release extremely strong radiation. The lower the player’s physique attribute, the greater the impact of the radiation.”
“Before we head to Paradise Island, we need to find as many tools as possible to increase the basic physique attribute.”
“Our Federation has a short-term muscle enhancement potion. We’ll provide one to the two of you later.”
Zhang Zhe looked at the time and frowned. “I still have to go back and get it. Four hours is a bit tight…”
“It’s okay. I have a s.p.a.ce-tearing device here Four hours is enough. In addition, I also have a medicine that can improve my physique in a short time, but the negative effects are a bit strong.”
Zhang Zhe was shocked.
s.p.a.ce-tearing device?!
His shelter could already build such a high-level device?
That was true.
The construction blueprint was obtained through the Dark Knights. According to Fang Heng’s honor level in the Dark Knights, he could indeed get access to it.
Fang Heng stroked his chin and continued to ask, “You have experienced the main storyline mission in District 2. What is the overall mission difficulty this time? How is it compared to Pine City?”
Zhang Zhe came back to his senses and replied, “In theory, the overall mission difficulty is comparable to the mission difficulty of entering Pine City twice.”
“But now the mission has been greatly affected. The second la.s.so mission in Pine City has already been changed, so I can’t be sure of the subsequent difficulty.”
Fang Heng frowned. The final mission of Pine City was to face a Tier 5 mutated creature.
If the difficulty was the same…
He still had to bring some equipment.
To be safe, Fang Heng ordered the Lickers to commit suicide.
After the player reached Level 17, the resurrection time of the zombie team was 8.6 hours.
After calculating the time, they should be able to resurrect when they reached Paradise Island.
Paradise Island.
After nearly three hours of flying, the helicopter circled high above an island.
Fang Heng went offline to sleep and recharge before going online.
He looked down at the island from high above.
“After the apocalypse, Paradise Island became our sanctuary.”
The islander, Aalto, introduced the situation of Paradise Island to everyone.
“It was Dr Kevin who saved everyone. Dr Kevin gave everyone the Water of Life. People living on the island will use it to resist the invasion of the virus and prevent infection by the biochemical virus.”
What was the Water of Life? It could resist infection?
Fang Heng was puzzled. He looked at Lucia and asked, “Did you have any contact with Dr Kevin the last time you went?”
Lucia shook her head.
“Dr Kevin, he…”
Aalto took a deep breath and continued, “He has been missing for more than half a year.”
Fang Heng was stunned and began to think.
Missing for more than half a year?
Paradise Island was only a small place. How could he be missing?
Could he be dead?
The helicopter circled a few times in the high sky before landing in a s.p.a.ce in the middle of the island’s village.
Many islanders gathered in twos and threes, pointing at the helicopter.
“Don’t mind it. Most of the islanders have lived here since they were young and rarely come into contact with others. They’re just a little curious.”
“Our island has a safe underground water supply and a large area of land suitable for farming. Before the Meteorite Company came here, we could also be self-sufficient.”
“After the Meteorite Company bought the ownership of this island, they didn’t chase us, islanders, away. Every month, they would send us some special ingredients from the outside world.”
Aalto waved to the surrounding islanders.
“Friends, these are all partners of the Dark Knights! They are here to help us. Let’s go back first. If everything goes well, we will be able to evacuate from here very quickly and go to a safe place.”
The surrounding islanders then left one after another.
A few members of the Dark Knights began to move the combat materials down from the helicopter.
Chen Yu and the others looked around after getting off the helicopter, familiarizing themselves with the environment.
Fang Heng noticed a very useful detail. He raised his head and asked, “Have the islanders been farming here for generations?”
Aalto was stunned by Fang Heng’s question.
“Yes, Paradise Island has beautiful scenery. The land is very suitable for farming. This is how the island got its name, ‘Paradise Island’.”
Fang Heng secretly pondered.
Farming was good!
This group of islanders didn’t seem to have such a high level of education. It was probably impossible for them to help Qiu Yaokang research zombies. But they knew how to farm!
People could only work when they were full. This was a principle that had never changed since ancient times.
In the future, when the shelter developed, the amount of food consumed would increase. They couldn’t just rely on the zombies to go out and collect it.
They had to be self-sufficient to achieve a virtuous cycle.
Coincidentally, after the felling of the forest near the prison was completed, there was still a large piece of empty land left.
Keeping it was one thing, but wouldn’t it be good if they could make use of the land for farming?
Well, he might as well gather all these islanders and bring them all back to the shelter…
“I’ll take you to see the Water of Life first.”
Aalto didn’t know what Fang Heng was thinking, so he led Fang Heng and the others to the centre of the village.
He continued to introduce the situation on the island.
“After the outbreak of the zombie virus, the people on the island worked together to set up a barbed wire around the periphery of the island.”
“Every morning, people would patrol the coast to clean up the zombies that drifted along the ocean and check whether the barbed wire was damaged.”
“The Water of Life made by Dr Kevin is very effective. If we are accidentally attacked by zombies, we can detoxify the poison with the Water of Life.”
Aalto led the group to a wooden house.
There were villagers armed with guns outside the wooden house.
Aalto called out to the villagers, “I’ll bring them in to have a look.”
The group walked into the wooden house.
There were large vats of water in the wooden house.
“Water of Life… Antidote…”
Fang Heng walked to one of the vats, took out a bottle from his backpack and tried to fill it.
“Hint: You have obtained an item-Water of Life.”
[Item-Water of Life*1.]
Description: Increases basic physique by 3 points within 20 minutes after use, increases anti-infection ability. After using it, it can dispel the zombie virus infection state (only effective against elementary and intermediate infection).
