[Hint: Your HP is dropping. Please leave the sewer as soon as possible.]
[Hint: You are at risk of being infected.]
After running in the sewer for ten minutes, Fang Heng could not hold on any longer.
His HP started to drop faster.
He saw a ladder going up on the right-hand side of the sewer, so he held his breath and quickly climbed up the ladder.
Fang Heng held his breath, opened the manhole cover on his head and quickly climbed out of the sewer.
“Whew!”
Fresh air!
Fang Heng had never thought that breathing in the air to his heart’s content could be so wonderful!
Fortunately, the manhole cover was not locked!
Fang Heng was glad that he had used his zombie clones to clean up the zombies in the underground pa.s.sage in advance.
Otherwise, he would have to escape and deal with zombies at the same time, so his speed would be abnormally slow.
If it were other players, they would have been suffocated to death in the underground sewer.
In the outside world, the sky was already bright.
Fang Heng noticed that the place he was in was still within Hope Town. It was the backyard of an independent villa.
The five zombies in the backyard noticed Fang Heng and immediately rushed toward him.
Fang Heng rubbed his shoulder and took out his machete.
When he first entered the game, Fang Heng relied on the muscle memory of this body to fight.
After fighting for a while, Fang Heng had gradually integrated the various battle memories of this body and the changes in his body’s attributes.
Now, with Fang Heng’s high agility and high perception, the zombies moved like old turtles in his eyes.
They were too slow!
Fang Heng raised his machete and rushed forward.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
In the blink of an eye, the five ordinary zombies were all slaughtered.
They couldn’t take the beating.
Fang Heng put away his machete and looked around.
It was a three-storey villa.
“Not bad. The villa can be used as a base.”
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
Ever since he entered Hope Town, things had changed a lot.
Fang Heng didn’t want to leave the town so soon.
As one can see, Hope Town was a place where people can scavenge for materials and also hunt zombies for materials...
Why was he in a hurry to go back to prison when there was such an outstanding place like Hope Town?
Fang Heng decided to stay here for a while to look around.
For the time being, he would use this villa as his base. With his safety guaranteed, he could collect more points and evolution crystal fragments.
He would also complete the evolution of all the zombie clones as soon as possible!
After making up his mind, Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones that were exploring the underground sewers to return the way they came, climbing back to the surface along the ladder.
“Before nightfall, I need to build a place for tonight as soon as possible.”
Fang Heng muttered to himself and divided the zombie clones into three groups.
The first group entered the three-storey villa to explore and was responsible for collecting materials and cleaning up the zombies.
The second group surrounded the villa to clean up the zombies.
To prevent the possibility of encountering mutated zombies, the two groups each had a vine zombie with them.
The last two vine zombies were responsible for transporting the corpse vines that were left in the underground sewer.
As Fang Heng looked at the scattered zombie clones leaving to perform their tasks, he silently took out wooden planks from his backpack and started to repair the fence of the villa.
...
At noon, a team of more than thirty players appeared in Hope Town.
The team was personally led by the leader of Federation No. 19 Resource Point, An Lindong.
Earlier today, the game officially opened the transfer server.
Level 1 to 4 players could use their King of G.o.ds’ points to join the Zombie Apocalypse in District 8.
Within half an hour after the transfer server opened, the 100 ordinary players who had newly joined Federation No. 19 Resource Point had all arrived.
Every year, the various countries of the federation would invest a large amount of money into the game.
In China, the players that the federation recruited were divided into two types.
The first type was the core members.
The federation had been focusing on training players since they were in school.
They have undergone systematic training in the school, and after various background checks and a.s.sessments by the federation school, they are recruited to ensure their loyalty as much as possible.
The other type was the ordinary players.
They accepted the federation’s call to sign a contract to accept the federation’s employment.
This kind of contract is more stringent than the ordinary work contract.
If there was an act of betrayal, the player will be subjected to harsh legal sanctions, equivalent to treason.
Due to the favourable and generous treatment, the entry threshold for becoming an ordinary player in the federation was gradually increasing every year.
However, in reality, there were many people who were unwilling to accept the multiple restrictions and background checks of the federation.
Joining the federation meant losing a large portion of their freedom.
This time, when An Lindong entered Hope Town, he wanted to find out the cause of the explosion yesterday.
Soon, the team noticed a large number of zombies surrounding the Community Hospital.
“An Lindong, we can’t go any closer. There are too many zombies there.”
An Lindong nodded. He signaled the team to stop and used the binoculars to observe.
A player on alert noticed something. He stared at the street in the distance and whispered, “Captain, look, what’s that?”
“What... What kind of zombie is that?”
“Is it a high-tier zombie? Why does it look so weird?”
Many players also noticed something in the distance. They whispered among themselves and pointed into the distance.
It was a zombie that was about 2.2 to 3 meters tall.
Green vines were constantly wriggling around his body.
An Lindong frowned.
Oh no, it was a special mutated zombie evolved from the corpse vines!
A Tier 4 mutated zombie!
An Lindong had already memorized the information provided by the federation. He quickly compared the zombie in front of him with the corpse vine mutated variant in his memory!
He had escaped from the secret research room of Meteorite Company?
But why was he so fast?
Theoretically, such a high-level zombie creature wouldn’t appear in the game for at least a month.
“Captain, he seems to be coming toward us.”
“What should we do? He seems to be heading toward our warehouse...”
An Lindong couldn’t help but clenched his fists.
Most high-level mutated zombies would attack the places where the players gathered.
The warehouse resource point had become the target of the zombie mutated variant.
“Team 2, go back first and report to Director Liu. Team 1, come with me, we need to think of a way to lure it away!”

Afternoon, 4 pm.
The villa had already been cleaned up. Fang Heng counted the materials he had found and couldn’t help but shake his head.
Other than the necessary survival materials, the rest were just trash with little value.
Of course, they were considered ‘trash’ to Fang Heng. This ‘trash’ could be exchanged for a lot of money with the federation.
Especially the children’s bicycle.
No matter what, the bicycle was still a means of transportation, even though its speed was extremely slow.
Fang Heng had just managed to control his zombie clone to move the corpse vines into the backyard of the villa with great difficulty.
At this moment, he was sitting on the second floor of the villa to rest.
Fang Heng felt a little hungry. He lit a bonfire, cleaned up the grill and prepared to barbecue.
“Boom!”
An explosion outside the window attracted Fang Heng.
