Chapter 290: Praising
"What? You've been together with him for so long, and there's no progress at all?"
Qiao Ling was surprised and she covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Sister's figure is so good, but Fang Heng can withstand it? That's impossible…"
Lucia also felt wronged. She lowered her head and silently used the whetstone to sharpen her short dagger.
Qiao Ling suddenly thought of something and looked at Lucia with sympathy.
"Sister, Fang Heng isn't… from Nantong University's School of Infrastructure, is he?"
"Huh? What?"
Lucia looked up, her face full of bafflement. She didn't understand what Qiao Ling was saying.
"Sister Lucia, didn't you notice that the relationship between Colonel Fang Heng and First Lieutenant Mo Jiawei is not so simple?"
Qiao Ling explained in a serious tone, "It seems that they are always together during every operation, right? Do you think… they are?"
"Ah? The two of them?"
Qiao Ling nodded crazily.
"Something's wrong!"
Lucia kept silent, lowered her head and continued to sharpen her knife.
Her sharp and cold eyes were reflected on the shiny blade.
"Don't give up! Sister is so charming. Even a gay can be straightened by you!"
"Oh right, I spent a lot of effort to find the tea ceremony last time. Did you see it?"
"Does it work? I tried it last time, but it didn't work well."
"Yes, yes! It works! You have to persevere! Sister Lucia!"
Qiao Ling nodded, "Just like what I said last time, a man is a creature that likes to be worshipped. Praise him, praise him fiercely! I don't believe that he can control himself!"
Lucia nodded and muttered to herself, "Praise him fiercely, praise him fiercely…"
David walked in.
"Lucia, Colonel Fang Heng just came to look for me. He looked very anxious and said that he needs your help. Do you have time to go find him? He just left."
Hearing Fang Heng's name, Lucia suddenly stood up and clenched the dagger in her hand.
"Okay! I'll go over now!"
Qiao Ling waved at Lucia, "Sister Lucia! Good luck! Remember! Praise fiercely!"
…
"Sir, we have already compared some of the images we have captured with the database."
"Most of the players who appeared in the cave are often active in the black market."
"We have confirmed that the Night Owl organization hired these players behind the scenes. We suspect that they are excavating inside the iron mine. The target may be a special crystallized creature."
Zhang Zhe did not speak. He carefully flipped through the files in his hands.
He had experienced a similar mission in the old district.
The crystallized creature and main storyline mission had a lot of relevance, but this mission was not important.
It was equivalent to a relatively late-stage side mission.
Completing the mission could increase the completion rate of the main storyline and change the direction of the outcome.
The prerequisite was that the player needed to complete the main storyline mission!
If the main storyline mission could not be completed, then no matter how many side missions there were, it would be a waste.
The mission difficulty was quite high. For the Federation, now was not the best time to trigger the mission.
In addition, the crystal ore related to the mission was also very valuable for mining.
That was the raw ore of the late-stage high-level energy crystal!
However, the extraction and synthesis of the high-level energy crystal were very complicated, and it was also very troublesome to gather, so it was not needed in the early stages…
For various reasons, the Federation was unable to take out so much manpower and material resources in the early stages to mine ore resources that were not needed for at least half a year.
However, the Federation was also very clear about the importance of the blue crystal ore, which was why they had chosen to establish a shelter in the nearby desert area and send people to guard the crystal mine area.
Zhang Zhe did not expect Night Owl to make a move so quickly, and it was aimed at the c
crystal mine.
"Sir, the reserve fighters have already gathered in the shelter and are on standby. They are ready to attack at any time and capture all the members of the Night Owl organization who participated in this operation."
"No, wait a little longer."
"Do we still have to wait?" The vice-captain of the temporary combat team, Tang Chu, frowned slightly. "Sir, if we wait any longer, will there be any accidents? If the ore is collected by Night Owl in advance or destroyed…"
"There's no rush. Crystal ores are different from ordinary ores."
"Different?"
Zhang Zhe shook his head and did not answer.
He did not feel like explaining to these people, nor did he want to explain to them.
As it involved part of the main storyline mission, once he explained, his King of Gods' points and personal survival points would be deducted.
The more information was leaked, the greater the deduction. After deducting his points, they would deduct his basic attributes.
No one could withstand such a punishment.
A Federation soldier knocked on the door and walked into the room.
"Captain, it's an emergency. The investigation team found a large number of zombies moving along Highway No. 702. There are about 400 to 500 of them."
Tang Chu frowned and looked at Zhang Zhe.
At this time? Could it be related to the Night Owl organization?
Zhang Zhe immediately put down the file in his hand.
"Take me there to have a look!"
Everyone quickly came to the sentry towers.
Zhang Zhe took the binoculars and looked at the highway.
On the road, a large group of zombies were huddled together, staggering along the road.
"Their target is not the shelter."
Noticing that the target of this wave of wandering zombies was not the shelter, Tang Chu heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhe frowned.
He felt that there was something wrong with this wave of zombies!
However, he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
On the surface, everything looked normal.
A Federation soldier said, "It should be a random zombie tide. It will disperse soon. If we don't provoke it, we won't be attacked."
"Sir, should we call our people back?"
"No, we don't need to. Send a few more people to follow them. Ask them to check the crystal mine again."
Zhang Zhe was a little uneasy. He decided to send a few people to follow them to take a look.
"Yes!"
The Federation soldier saluted and was about to go downstairs to pass on the order.
"Sir, sir…" At the side, a recruit's lips trembled. "Look over there, what's That?"
Everyone followed the recruit's gaze and looked into the distance.
A faint red colour appeared on the horizon.
The red colour gradually formed a line.
Zhang Zhe's pupils constricted.
Lickers?!
Hundreds of Lickers gathered together and quickly swept across the road!
From afar, it looked like a red wave.
They were heading straight for the shelter!
The players on the sentry tower felt their scalps go numb.
So many Lickers?!
Several thoughts flashed through Zhang Zhe's mind.
Were the Lickers controlled by the Night Owl organization?
They were heading for the shelter?
Why?
Was this part of Night Owl's plan?
Night Owl's goal was the shelter? Then what was the situation at the crystal mine?
"Not good! They're heading towards the shelter!"
Tang Chu was the first to react. He immediately turned around and gave the Federation soldier an order.
"Sound Level 1 alarm! All players enter combat mode. Summon all reserve players to come online immediately."
"Everyone gather and prepare for battle!"
Chapter 291 Luck
(Hint: Your zombie clone has excavated. You have obtained shrapnel*2.]
(Hint: Your zombie clone has excavated. You have obtained small rocks*4…]
In front of Gobi Desert.
Fang Heng opened a packet of durian-flavoured Oreos and stuffed one into his mouth. Then, he handed the rest to Mo Jiawei.
"Here? Have a taste?"
"No need, God. I'm not hungry yet."
Mo Jiawei and Fang Heng were standing on a high cliff not far away, looking down.
More than 300 zombies gathered together, wielding iron picks and constantly digging into the interior of the mountain wall.
The rocks they dug out had already piled up to a few small hills.
Fang Heng stuffed another piece of biscuit into his mouth.
After thinking for a while, he decided to play dirty this time.
"Fang Heng, have you noticed that Lucia seems a little weird today?"
"Eh? What's weird about her?"
"I think she looks at me with a murderous look in her eyes."
Mo Jiawei rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then asked with confusion, "Am I overthinking? I don't think I've ever offended her."
"Yeah, I don't understand either. I think you're overthinking."
Mo Jiawei didn't think about it anymore. He looked at the big hole dug by the zombie team and asked, "Is the crystal ore we're looking for inside?"
"I think so."
Fang Heng opened the blueprint of the cave and explained it to Mo Jiawei.
"It's like this. The Night Owl organization has prepared explosives in the passage opening on the other side."
"The Federation should also know about Night Owl's actions, but they haven't made any moves yet. They're just secretly observing from the side."/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.
"I also don't know what kind of trick they're playing, so let's be straightforward and dig a passage through here directly. We'll think of a way to be faster than Night Owl's people."
"We will secretly dig out all the ores inside, pack them up and take them away."
Fang Heng once again reiterated the strategy to Mo Jiawei.
"In short, try to get as many benefits as possible. Don't get into a conflict with the Federation and Night Owl's people. They can fight each other, and we can mine the ores."
Hearing that, Mo Jiawei nodded in agreement.
He then lowered his head to look at the zombie team that was busy digging.
"But, Fang Heng, with so many zombies gathered together, isn't the commotion a little big? We won't be discovered by night owl or the federation, Right?"
"We only started digging after crossing the other side of the Gobi Desert. If anyone wants to discover us, they have to cross the Gobi Desert as well. Night Owl's people are still busy digging, so theoretically, they won't be able to discover us."
"What about the Federation?"
Mo Jiawei was more worried about the Federation.
"The people of the Federation have been keeping an eye on this mine and the Night Owl organization. It's a little troublesome to investigate at night. It's daytime now. If we send more people to strengthen the inspection, I'm afraid we might be exposed."
"You're right. So to prevent accidents, I asked Lucia to bring the Lickers to play with the people from the Federation. Let them get busy."
"Play…"
Listening to Fang Heng's casual narration, Mo Jiawei felt a chill down his spine.
He wasn't sure what Fang Heng meant by playing with toys.
However, when Mo Jiawei was called by Fang Heng to participate in the special mission last night, he had seen the red Lickers with his own eyes.
It was too terrifying.
If he were in the Federation, he wouldn't have the mood to go to the other side of the Gobi Desert to investigate when he saw a group of Lickers surrounding the shelter early in the morning
"Ha…"
Fang Heng yawned as he spoke.
He hadn't slept all night, so he was a little tired.
He forced himself to perk up.
"I'll have to rely on you from now on, Jiawei!"
"Huh?"
Mo Jiawei was confused. He pointed at his nose.
"Up to me? What do I have to do with it?"
Mo Jiawei felt strange. He
. He was woken up by Fang Heng in the middle of the night, and then came to watch the zombies mine.
He felt that he didn't have much use. At most, he would help Fang Heng look after the simple bed when he went offline.
"Of course, there's something to do."
Fang Heng's expression was exceptionally serious.
"Brother, stop pretending. I already know everything. During this period, I often go to the gym. I've heard of your amazing deeds. You're very lucky, right?"
When Mo Jiawei heard this, his expression froze.
"Fang Heng, don't listen to their nonsense. It's all fake! It's a lie!"
"It can't be fake. In the beginning, I was also skeptical. Later on, I thought about it and realized that it was true."
"Generally speaking, you were born as the chosen one, the direct heir of North River Heavy Industry. You're the only one and there is no competitor. Once you enter the game, you immediately have an S-level talent, and the mission that you randomly accepted turns out to be the main storyline of the Dark Knights…"
"Going into details, when the sewer exploded, the shrapnel that fell from your head was always the smallest."
"I also heard from the other brothers in the gym that when you were young, your great-grandfather tested your uncles' business skills and gave them a sum of money to invest in their businesses. He wanted to see which of them could get 100 million as fast as possible."
"In the end, your Sixth Uncle brought you to the casino. Is that true?"
Listening to Fang Heng's serious narration, Mo Jiawei felt like crying.
"Indeed, but… but that time at the casino, my Sixth Uncle even lost his underwear…"
Fang Heng's words were conclusive.
"Then there must be something wrong with this casino."
"There's no choice. The time is too short, and I can't find a high-level geological exploration player to find the specific mineral point of the crystal ores, so I'm relying on
you."
As Fang Heng spoke, he handed the hand-drawn map to Mo Jiawei.
"Come, point at a random location."
"Fang Heng, don't do these metaphysical things."
"Hurry up and pick a random location. I won't let you take the blame."
Mo Jiawei had never thought that Fang Heng had dragged him here for this.
Seeing that he couldn't escape from it, he could only silently point at a random location. "Then, let's do it here. What do you think?"
"I think it's not bad either."
Fang Heng glanced at the spot that Mo Jiawei pointed at, then controlled a part of the zombie team to change the angle and start digging in another direction.
Eight hours later.
Mo Jiawei and Fang Heng each drank two tons of coffee.
"Fang Heng, we've been digging for so long, but there's still no movement. Did we pick the right place?"
"Don't worry. We'll see. You have to believe in your ability."
Mo Jiawei thought to himself, "What ability do I have?"
Fang Heng was calm.
At this stage of the game, the player's level was too low. There was no way to find the exact location of the crystal mine.
Anyway, it was just a random bet.
He was half serious and half joking when he asked Mo Jiawei to guess.
Fang Heng had a backup plan.
A large number of zombies crowded together to dig, which would affect the efficiency. Therefore, he divided the zombie team into three teams. Two teams were digging in different directions, and one team was responsible for transporting the excavated stones.
n
w
One team was digging along the passage pointed out by Mo Jiawei, while the other team was digging toward the location of the laboratory marked on Deng Xin's hand-drawn map.
Fang Heng felt that if Mo Jiawei failed, he could still try to get information about the crystal ore from the laboratory.
Anyway, there was still plenty of time.
While he was thinking, the game suddenly gave a hint of a new message.
(Hint: Your zombie clone has excavated, you have obtained inferior blue crystal ore*2.]
(Hint: You have learned the method to identify blue crystal ore from the NPC Qiu Yaokang.)
It's here!
Hu Huh?
It's from Mo Jiawei's passage!
