Chapter 273 Poaching
Currently, Mo Jiawei was flying back and forth in a helicopter to Paradise Island to build a space tearing device. He also needed to collect various materials to build a Tier 3 space tearing device.
Liao Bufan was staying in the shelter to welcome the players who would participate in the next Blood Moon and deal with the players who delivered ores every day…
They couldn't get away.
He had to do it himself.
However, where should he find the Lickers?
After thinking for a while, Fang Heng had an answer.
"Go find the Dark Knights. They should have a mission related to killing the Lickers."
Fang Heng was glad that his shelter had completed the space tearing device. It was much easier to travel.
The Dark Knights had dozens of strongholds, as long as he searched one by one, he could surely find a mission related to the Lickers!
Speaking of which, the Dark Knights also had a research team.
If they sold elite mercenary groups to the outside world, would they also sell research personnel to the outside world?
Maybe they did!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
It was time to go and pick a bunch of Dark Knights' wool!
"Hi, David."
"Fang Heng."
At the Dark Knights' branch, David did not seem to be in a good mood.
"What's wrong? You look tired. Didn't sleep well?"
Fang Heng took out a bottle of melatonin from his backpack and handed it over. "Try this."
(Hint: Your friendship with David has increased.]
"Thank you. I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days." David sighed softly as he spoke.
"The first-generation meteorite has been destroyed. It's too difficult to repair the meteorite. The Dark Knights have decided to temporarily give up on this clue and try to find another way."
Fang Heng patted David's shoulder. "It's okay. I'll help with the investigation. My luck has always been good."
"Haha, you're right."
David braced himself.
"There will always be a way. This operation on Paradise Island was not a fruitless one. At least we found a large amount of Water of Life on the island."

"With the Water of Life, we can save more lives. The survival ability of the Dark Knights' battle teams will also be greatly improved."
As David spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and called out to Fang Heng.
"Oh right, Fang Heng, you came at the right time. The previous mission on Paradise Island has been completed. The rewards have not been settled with you yet. Also, the information about Tsugawa Hideharu's pupa project last time provided us with a lot of help in our research."
(Hint: You have received the mission-pupa project reward. You have received 5000 Dark Knights' honor points.]
(Hint: You have received part of the main storyline mission reward. You have received 1500 Dark Knights' honor points.]
It was too little, not enough to spend.
In total, it was only 6500 points.
Fang Heng was currently worrying about resources.
6,500 points could only buy a small portion of rare ores that were difficult to obtain from the Dark Knights.
It was no wonder that the reward was small.
On this trip to Paradise Island, the first-generation meteorite that was needed for the final mission had not been found.
Fang Heng checked the mission log and asked, "David, there has been no news from the Meteorite Company? Could they have left a sample of the first-generation meteorite?"
"Yes, we have considered this and have been investigating for a long time."
According to our investigation, after the initial outbreak of the biochemical crisis, the top management of the Meteorite Company seemed to have disappeared overnight. We couldn't find any news at all."
Fang Heng spread his hands.
"Alright then, David. Recently, did the Dark Knights have any missions related to the Licker? Well, I've been in a bad mood recently and want to find trouble with the Lickers."
"Huh?"
David was slightly surprised.
He then nodded and said, "Yes, I will help you make a list later. It will be easier to look for missions at the contact points of the Dark Knights."
"Thank you, David. Also, do you Dark Knights want to look for a researcher in the future?"
"Fang Heng, the researcher that we train is very rare. We don't have enough for ourselves. If you can help me find him, we are willing to provide a large number of honor points as a reward."
Speaking of this, David felt much better. "For example, research personnel, Qiu Yaokang. Our researchers praise him very much… We are willing to provide a large number of honor points…"
"This… Qiu Yaokang, let's forget about it…"
Fang Heng was silent.
He thought, "Good guy, the older one is usually the wiser one. I didn't poach any researchers from you, but you're thinking of poaching my researcher!"
Fang Heng felt that way after hearing David's comments.
Huh?
Wait, poached?!
In an instant, Fang Heng had a flash of inspiration.
"Dad, I've been looking for you for a long time. Colonel Barker is looking for you. The team is about to set off, and the allocated materials are missing two boxes of special combat uniforms."
Qiao Ling hurriedly walked in from the door. "Oh, no, I forgot. Qiao Ling, help me take care of Fang Heng."
David said to Fang Heng, "I'm sorry, Fang Heng, I have something urgent to deal with."
"It's nothing, go do your work!"
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Qiao Ling with a wicked gaze.
What a coincidence!
David was not easy to fool, Qiao Ling seemed to be quite innocent…
Qiao Ling's eyes were very big, like a manga character. She noticed that Fang Heng was staring at her, which was quite strange.
"Fang Heng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hi, Qiao Ling, I need to check all the missions issued by all the Dark Knights' contact points. Well, only those related to researchers, such as rescue missions, you can eliminate the others."
"Eh, rescue mission?"
"Yes, can you find it?"
Qiao Ling turned on the central computer of the Dark Knights to check.
"There should be. Let me check. Our Dark Knights have a modified survival radio internet, and we can often find some information to ask for help."
"I found it."
"These recent missions are all related to scientific researchers, and many of them are in danger. Recently, our combat personnel have been in a shortage, and many rescue missions that are not urgent have been temporarily put on hold."
"If you can complete the rescue and bring them back to the Dark Knights, we can provide you with a large number of honor points as a reward."
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
"Qiao Ling! That's great! This is exactly what I need. I'll accept all of these missions."
With a wave of his hand, Fang Heng directly checked all of them and received them with one click.
(Hint: You've received the mission, escort team, emergency rescue, danger signal…]
(Hint: Your current rank of Dark Knights is Colonel. You can accept up to 12 missions at the same time.]
(Hint: The mission you have received has reached the upper limit.]
Fang Heng selected one of the missions to check.
Mission name: Escort team.
Mission difficulty: S.
Mission description: The Dark Knights received a request for help at the coordinate point Putan District (2812,9341). The target of the mission, Professor Jiang Cheng, has a remarkable ability in scientific research. After the apocalypse, they have been staying there. Recently, their materials were about to be used up. Mission requirements: Please escort Dr Jiang Cheng and the other survivors back to the Dark Knights.
Chapter 274 Poached!
"Chi-Chi! Chi!!"
At an abandoned factory outside the city.
Two Lickers were fighting fiercely.
Fang Heng and a few NPCs were standing in the central control room.
Through the surveillance screen, they could observe the tragic situation outside.
Terrifying!
The bloody scene made the NPCs pale.
Fang Heng set up a barbecue grill and sprinkled cumin on the skewers.
(Hint: Your zombie clone-Licker has killed a Licker. You have received 12 survival points. You have received a complete evolution crystal*1. Current mission completion rate: 35%.]
(Hint: You have completed a large skewer of meat. Your cooking skill experience points +1.]
"Don't worry, the Lickers outside will all be settled soon. Come, come, come, eat the meat My speciality is cooking. It's very delicious. Everyone, have a taste."
Fang Heng distributed the skewers to everyone.
(Hint: Your friendship with Jiang Cheng, Song Shishi and Li Wen has increased slightly.]
The room was filled with the aroma of the roasted meat.
However, the scene on the monitor made everyone lose their appetite.
"Thank you."
Jiang Cheng took the barbecued meat and took a bite.
The aroma of barbecued meat assailed everyone's nostrils. The texture of the meat was mixed with the mellowness of the oil. The slightly charred skin greatly enhanced the sense of taste and satisfied the taste buds and hungry stomachs.
"Delicious!"
Song Shishi did not expect the barbecued meat to be so fragrant!
After the apocalypse, Jiang Cheng and the other survivors were trapped in the factory. They relied on instant noodles and canned food to fill their stomachs every day but the food was barely sufficient. Where could they be able to eat the food so deliciously as now?
"Thank you, Fang Heng. You saved us. If it weren't for your Dark Knights, god knows how long we would have been trapped here."
"What? Dark Knights?"
Fang Heng blinked at the NPCs.
"No, no, no. I think you're mistaken. I'm here to welcome you on behalf of Paradise Island. If you're willing, I hope you can join our Paradise Island shelter."
Jiang Cheng and the other NPCs were stunned. They held the skewers and looked up at Fang Heng, confused.
"Aren't you from the Dark Knights to bring us back?"
"Of course not. Have you heard of the prison? It has beautiful scenery and abundant materials. There are professional chefs to take care of three meals a day. There is also a special passage leading to an overseas island…"
"I promise to provide you with adequate protection."
(Hint: Player is evaluating…)
(Hint: Evaluating the attractiveness of your shelter, your friendship with NPCs…]
"But, but…"
Jiang Cheng looked at his two companions and hesitated. "But, Fang Heng, we have agreed to join the Dark Knights…" "Is that so… Sorry, I didn't know about this beforehand."
Fang Heng shook his head and looked troubled.
"Alright, then I suggest that you consider it."
As Fang Heng said that, the two Lickers slowly climbed out of the shadows behind him.
"After all, it's very dangerous to run to the Dark Knights from here. You might be threatened by zombies halfway…"
Jiang Cheng's face turned slightly pale. Before he could speak, Song Shishi covered his mouth.
"Mr Fang Heng, Jiang Cheng means that he is willing!"
Li Wen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Fang Heng, we are very happy to join your shelter. We hope that under your leadership, we can contribute our greatest strength to the construction of the shelter."
Jiang Cheng struggled for a moment and silently accepted reality.
(Hint: Jiang Cheng (Speciality: Research; Character evaluation: A-; Loyalty: 63) joins your shelter.]
(Hint: Song Shishi (Speciality: Research; Character evaluation: C+; Loyalty: 87) joins your shelter.]
(Hint: Li Wen (Speciality: Mercenary; Character evaluation: B; Loyalty: 72) joins your shelter.)
(Hint: Your shelter's research level has increased.]
(Hint: Your shelter's research efficiency has increased slightly.]
"That's gre
I knew it! We hit it off the moment we met."
Hahaha! Success!
Fang Heng was overjoyed.
He was simply thrilled to poach others!
After all, it was a game, and Fang Heng did not have any psychological burden when it came to taking advantage of the game's features.
Of course, it would be best if he could poach Old Black.
Fang Heng was still very vengeful about the main storyline mission.
He roughly looked at the attributes of the NPCs.
Their attributes were not bad. A-level researcher was relatively rare.
Initial loyalty was only 63, which was very low.
Fang Heng was not afraid.
His shelter had many benefits.
As long as he stayed for a few days, the NPC's loyalty would increase.
He had to trick them back!
Fang Heng checked the situation outside the factory again.
"Most of the Lickers outside have been cleared. I'll take you back first. I promise that you'll love the environment there."
Jiang Cheng sighed. He felt that the meat in his hands was not fragrant anymore.
"Let's hope so."
(Hint: Your mission-escort team failed. 300 Dark Knights' honor points deducted.]
Only 300 points?
300 points for an A-level NPC with two complimentary items?
Hahaha!
He made a profit!!
Fang Heng was in high spirits. He was not sleepy at all.
Under Fang Heng's escort, Jiang Cheng and the others were brought back to the prison shelter.
The thick city walls and sentry tower gave Jiang Cheng and the others a great shock.
A private shelter?
No, it looked more like a fortress rebuilt after a disaster!
After entering the prison and registering, Jiang Cheng received his personal toiletries materials and a few sets of clothes. He took a comfortable hot bath.
After the apocalypse, this was the first time Jiang Cheng stayed in a quiet single room.
Hot food was already on the table.
For a moment, Jiang Cheng was in a daze.
This living environment was much better than he had expected.
Since he had come, he should just take it in stride.
(Hint: Jiang Cheng's loyalty has increased to 78. There is still a chance that he will leave your shelter by himself. Please take note…]
Five in the morning, Dongxi District.
Fang Heng spent almost an entire night bringing two batches of NPCs back to the shelter.
The plan was the same.
It was just a lie!
Initial loyalty was not important.
As long as the NPCs were lured back home, their loyalty would quickly increase.
After all, the treatment provided by the prison was very good.
Fang Heng was very confident about this.
He sat in front of a bonfire and checked the status of the zombie team.
The third task on hand was more troublesome. He needed to dig through the construction site that had been buried by the explosion.
There were a few survivors trapped below.
Fang Heng didn't need to do it himself. A group of zombies were slowly digging with shovels.
As he waited in boredom, a red game hint flashed across his vision.
(Hint: Your apocalypse radio has received an emergency message.]
Eh? A message from the survival radio?
Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.
Strange, the range for the personal survival radio to receive messages was extremely small. This was also Dongxi District, so there shouldn't be many good friends here.
Who sent this message to him?
