Chapter 339: Accompany Reading
When he returned to the shelter, he saw that there was still some time left. Fang Heng left a simple bed and went offline.
After exiting the game, Fang Heng continued to think.
It would be best if he could find the first-generation meteorite in District 7. If he still couldn't find it, then he would be in trouble.
Should he ask Chen Yu about the situation?
The Federation undoubtedly knew the situation of the other servers the best. They had a high probability of knowing the situation of the first-generation meteorite.
However, Fang Heng also had some concerns.
He didn't want too many people to know that he had successfully established the Tier 3 space tearing device.
This included the Federation.
Asking too many questions might arouse the suspicion of the Federation.
Let's think about it again…
Fang Heng opened the game cabin and crawled out.
Just as he was about to move his body, his eyelids suddenly twitched.
"Eh?"
What's going on?
Fang Heng's heart pounded wildly.
He stretched out his hand and looked at the back of his right hand.
The mark on the back of his hand was faintly discernible.
A line of small words immediately appeared in his vision.
[Hint: Player has unlocked the warp backpack slot*1.]
What was going on!
Through the mark on his right hand, Fang Heng found that he could see the backpack in the game!
There was nothing in the backpack except for a slot!
A bottle of T-virus antidote was lying quietly in that slot.
"The warp backpack slot can be used in this world as well?"
Fang Heng was very surprised.
He took a deep breath and tried to give the order to take out the item.
With a slight twist of his wrist, the T-virus antidote appeared in his hand.
The item in the game had been brought into the real world!?
Or in this way?
Fang Heng sat down on the ground and tried to control his somewhat chaotic mind to continue thinking.
That's right, this should be one of the settings of the game.
Mo Yunxiao had said before that the item in the game could be brought out of the game!
Recently, he had been reading the Occult Guide, which was originally a product of the game!
So… perhaps the Occult Guide itself was brought out of the game through the way of the warp backpack slot?
Eh?
Wait!
Fang Heng was suddenly startled and had a flash of inspiration.
Since the in-game item could be brought out of the game through the warp backpack slot, then the same principle could be applied…
The slot could also bring the item back into the game?
Yes! That's right!
Weapons? Materials?
Fang Heng's heart raced wildly. His eyes quickly searched the room, looking for an item that could be brought into the game.
Phone!
Fang Heng picked up the phone on the table and tried to put it into the backpack slot.
[Hint: This item can be stored in the backpack slot. Please try to store this item again after the cooldown time of the backpack slot has ended.]
[Hint: Some items may be damaged after warping.]
Damaged?
Fang Heng frowned as he thought about the meaning behind these two hint messages.
Not all items could be directly put into the backpack.
Even if it could be put into the backpack, there was a possibility that it would be damaged due to the special restrictions of the game.
In addition, the warp backpack had a 20-minute cooldown time after each use.
Mobile phones were probably not usable after being brought into the Zombie Apocalypse, so there was no need to test them.
Fang Heng put down his phone and looked around the guest room.
Calligraphy, painting, remote control, wooden decorations, thermos bottles…
Fang Heng tried to put the items in the room into his backpack one by one, then rushed to the yard to try out a bigger stone.
After the initial test, Fang Heng had a rough idea.
Large electrical appliances such as televisions could not be stuffed directly into the backpack.
Other smaller items, or a single item, such as a bucket of water, a large stone, or a cell phone, could mostly be put into the backpack slot.
Fang Heng lowered his head and began to think.
He was thinking about how he could use this slot to make a fortune in the game.
There didn't seem to be anything in the real world that could be brought back to the game world.
More useful items, such as weapons or precious materials, were strictly controlled in the Eastern region of the Federation where he was from. It was very difficult for ordinary people to obtain large amounts of them.
"I'm such an idiot!"
Fang Heng suddenly slapped his forehead.
Who would want materials and weapons!
Wasn't there an item in front of him that was most suitable to be brought into the game!
Fang Heng went straight to the study room in the back garden and barged into the study room under the surprised gaze of the villa's assistant.
'Occult Guide'!
This was it!
Fang Heng took the book on the low table in his hand.
[Hint: You have obtained the book-Occult Guide (Current reading progress: 18.82%).]
During this period, Fang Heng spent a lot of effort on reading almost every day.
The process of reading was particularly uncomfortable, like being in prison.
Even so, his reading progress was only less than 20% despite his daily efforts in prison!
If he could bring the book into the game…
There was a large zombie team in the game that could help him read!
Fang Heng was excited.
He tried to put the book into his backpack.
With a thought, the imprint on the back of his hand immediately showed a weak light.
In the next moment, the light flashed, and the book disappeared from Fang Heng's hand.
It was done!
The Occult Guide was lying quietly in the slot of the game backpack.
Turning around, Fang Heng hurried to the guest room, opened the game cabin and entered the game.
…
Seven hours later.
In the game shelter, the zombie clone that had just been reborn wobbled over under Fang Heng's control.
It took the Occult Guide from Fang Heng.
Fang Heng immediately gave it the command to use the skill 'efficient reading'.
The zombie clone picked up the book and began to read it seriously.
A minute later, a game hint flashed across Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: Your zombie has read. Your reading progress has increased by 0.1%.]
Hahahaha!
It has increased! It has increased!
Even though his reading progress had only increased by 0.1%, Fang Heng was still extremely excited!
He finally found the feeling of hacking!
So the large-scale space tearing device had such a powerful hidden effect!
During this time, other than meditating, he was also reading books when he was offline.
He was already tortured by reading books.
He finally found a cheat!
In this way, he could have a zombie clone read books 24 hours a day in the game to increase his reading progress.
It was that simple to become a top student!
The only pity was that there was only one book, the Occult Guide, so he couldn't have multiple zombies read it together.
Otherwise, the progress would be faster.
Fang Heng continued to ponder.
He had to bear with it for now. After he finished reading the book and mastered the skills related to the occult, he would take some time to bring in a few more books from outside.
At that time, he could read one book per zombie, which would greatly increase his reading efficiency!
Seeing that it was almost dusk, Fang Heng left his zombie clone in the shelter to read and brought the Lickers back to the apocalypse merchant camp.
Chapter 340: The Scavenger Army
Dusk.
In the bushes, several players from the Dragon Country Guild were trying to search for the traces left behind by Fang Heng.
Captain Han Bo reminded them, "Everyone, be careful! The president said that that person might come back again!"
"The other party is very strong and has some powerful close combat skills. You must be careful!"
"Work in groups of three. Don't get too far apart. If you encounter any dangerous characters, shoot them!"
"Understood, Captain!"
After learning that four of their players had been attacked and killed by an unknown source, the Dragon Country Game Company immediately sent people to search the nearby area.
After asking in detail about the players who were killed, the Dragon Country Game Company first suspected Crimson Technology.
However, they quickly ruled it out.
Crimson Technology had recently gotten into quite a lot of trouble in Server 8. Now that they could no longer protect themselves, the probability of them coming over to cause trouble was very small.
"Who? Who's there!"
While searching, Han Bo was alert and noticed something.
He stopped and raised his guns to aim at the bushes.
"Chi Chi Chi!"
Squinting his eyes, he looked over.
Suddenly, several red shadows flashed through the forest!
"Not good! It's the Lickers!"
Seeing the appearance of the red shadows clearly, Han Bo was shocked!
The group of Lickers quickly flew towards him.
Han Bo hurriedly raised his submachine gun and aimed at the charging Lickers and pulled the trigger.
"Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang Bang!"
The sound of gunshots rang out!
When the other players heard Han Bo's shout, they also raised their guns and fired at the front.
The average character level of the player team led by Han Bo was around Level 7. They had not reached the basic attribute of fully controlling the submachine gun.
Coupled with nervousness, their aims with the submachine guns were bad.
Han Bo quickly emptied a magazine, but less than one-tenth of the bullets hit the Lickers accurately.
The Lickers braved the barrage of bullets and instantly rushed in front of Han Bo!
"Whoosh!!"
The sharp claws slashed in front of his eyes, leaving a piercing sound.
What?!
Han Bo's eyes reflected an indescribable fear!
Why were guns ineffective against the Lickers?!
At the moment of death, Han Bo's mind went blank.
This was definitely not an ordinary Licker!
He really could not understand why the strength of the Licker was so much stronger than he had expected. Even the bullets from the submachine gun could not stop them!
Dozens of Lickers rushed into the player team, waving their sharp claws and killing crazily.
The gunshots stopped, and a faint sizzling sound came from the forest.
The Lickers lay on the ground, eating the players' corpses.
Ever since they had learned the talent of vampires, the Lickers had developed the 'bad habit' of gnawing on the corpse's blood.
They devoured the blood to increase their HP's recovery speed.
Fang Heng walked out from the side, his gaze sweeping over the players from the Dragon Country Guild on the ground.
On the sentry tower on the second floor of the apocalypse merchant camp, seeing Fang Heng, Ai Lei slowly put down the sniper rifle in his hand.
His eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
A human who could control a Licker?
How did he do it?
Could it be that the information he said about the parallel world was true?
Fang Heng frowned. His sharp perception told him that someone was watching him in the dark.
He suddenly raised his head. His gaze pierced through the layers of obstacles and looked toward Ai Lei's position.
"Such strong intuition."
Ai Lei noticed that Fang Heng had discovered him, and his heart skipped a beat.
He put away the sniper rifle in his hand, and raised his right hand towards Fang Heng.
Fang Heng nodded at Ai Lei, and stepped into the apocalypse merchant camp.
…
"Fang Heng, I am a member of the Dark Knights, Ai Lei."
Ai Lei was very young. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he held a toothpick in his mouth. He looked very casual and undependable.
"I'm very interested in the parallel world theory you mentioned. Why don't you tell me again? This one is on me!"
As Ai Lei spoke, he pushed a glass of fruit juice towards Fang Heng.
Fang Heng did not touch the fruit juice and roughly described the trouble he had encountered in District 8.
"Simply put, the first-generation meteorite in our parallel world was damaged. I want to find the first-generation meteorite here."
Hearing Fang Heng's words, Ai Lei showed an interested expression.
"It's an interesting story, Fang Heng. But unfortunately, I can't do anything about it."
"Why?"
"Because there's something wrong with the first-generation meteorite in our world."
Ai Lei spread his hands and explained, "A few years ago, we already realized that the first-generation meteorite might be related to the outbreak of the zombie virus, so we tried to find the first-generation meteorite."
"At first, we did get the first-generation meteorite successfully, but unfortunately, due to an accident, there was some trouble with the first-generation meteorite."
"What trouble?"
"It's a secret."
Ai Lei winked at Fang Heng and said, "I don't trust you very much. What if you deceived me? I'm a professional, so I won't reveal secrets related to the Dark Knights to the public."
Fang Heng was surprised and looked at Ai Lei. "Then why did you come to see me?"
"After all, I happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd come to listen to your bragging. It's like casual talk after dinner, you know what I mean?"
Ai Lei didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Fang Heng said in a deep voice, "My space tearing device is from your Dark Knights. You can verify this with the Dark Knights to determine if the space tearing device has the ability to teleport to a parallel world."
"I'll ask around when I go back, but I can't guarantee that everything you said is true. What if you plan to do something bad in your parallel world? There are too many swindlers these days. I have to be more careful."
"I don't have time to stay here for too long. How do you want me to prove my identity?"
"Hmm…" Ai Lei stroked his chin. "From what you said, you're also a member of the Dark Knights in your server and have reached the rank of Colonel?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded.
"So you are very powerful?"
Ai Lei also had a lot of question marks in his head. He asked a series of questions.
"I saw what you did outside just now. Where did you get your ability to control the Lickers? Did you get it through the special plan of our Dark Knights? Or from the Meteorite Company? In your parallel world, to what extent can the Dark Knights control zombies?"
"It's a secret." Fang Heng looked at Ai Lei. "If you want to know the answer, you can exchange it with the information about the first-generation meteorite."
Ai Lei was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Fang Heng, I suddenly have a good idea."
"You've heard of the Scavenger Army, right? Those guys who only want chaos."
"Yeah, I know a little."
Fang Heng had a deep impression of the Scavenger Army.
It was a villainous NPC organization that appeared in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse game.
Chapter 341: Divine Potion
The Scavenger Army appeared very suddenly.
Under the guidance of the organization's leader, the Scavenger Army began to occupy the dilapidated cities and towns, attacking the player's shelter and other NPC camps for no reason.
They burned, killed, looted and focused on destruction. They believed in the concept of being above powerlessness.
In addition, the Scavenger Army also had a special ability. Most of their bodies had undergone a special mutation and had evolved. Most of them had powerful close combat abilities.
There were also rumours that they were immune to the threat of the zombie virus.
The Scavenger Army even recruited players.
It was also worth noting that for some reason, the Federation had issued a ban, banning all players from joining the Scavenger Army. If they were found out, they would be punished by law.
This was especially strange. The bill had once caused a heated discussion around the world.
Killing people in the game was not against the law. On the contrary, joining a game organization would be against the law.
Fang Heng had previously heard that there were players who had secretly joined the Scavenger Army. After that, they were wanted by the Federation.
"In the parallel world that I'm in, the Scavenger Army has never appeared. Why?"
The corner of Ai Lei's mouth twitched. He whispered, "Perhaps they will never appear."
Fang Heng frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Our Dark Knights have always wanted to send someone to scout the Scavenger Army. What do you think? Are you interested?"
"Why me?"
"They have the internal information of our Dark Knights. Our people can't get in, so we have to hire new people."And that group of people's recruitment criteria is very barbaric. I need some ruthless people who can kill without blinking an eye." Ai Lei looked at Fang Heng with a satisfied expression. "Well, just like you."
"Hehe." Fang Heng chuckled. "Then you've found the right person. What's the goal of the mission?"
"I want you to sneak into the Scavenger Army and help me get something called the divine potion from them. Give it to me, and in exchange, I'll tell you everything about the first-generation meteorite."
"You have to think carefully. This mission is very difficult. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. The whereabouts of the two people I sent previously are unknown. The situation is not good."
[Hint: You have obtained a special mission-divine potion.]
Mission name: Divine potion.
Mission description: You have learned from Ai Lei that the Scavenger Army is recruiting new members recently. Please try to join the Scavenger Army, obtain the divine potion and bring it back to Ai Lei.
Mission reward: First-generation meteorite related information, survival points.
Fang Heng quickly skimmed through the mission hint.
"Deal."
"Cool! Fang Heng, I'm starting to like you. The Scavenger Army is now located 20 kilometres away from here in Edge Creek Town. I wish you good luck!"
"I won't take long. I'll be back soon."
Fang Heng felt that this mission was not difficult.
Join the Scavenger Army, get the divine potion and get the first-generation meteorite.
If he was fast, he could complete the mission line and return to District 8 within 36 hours.
Leaving the apocalypse merchant camp, Fang Heng directly drove the white pickup truck to the town occupied by the Scavenger Army.
…..
At night, a pickup truck drove into Edge Creek Town.
As soon as they entered the town, several searchlights shone on the truck.
A few survivors of the Scavenger Army surrounded the truck with weapons in their hands and blocked the front of the truck.
They all looked fierce.
"D*mn it! Come out now!"
A young man who looked like a gangster, who reeked of alcohol, walked to the side of the truck with a bottle in his hand and slapped the window hard.
Fang Heng opened the car door and walked out.
"Don't dawdle!"
A fierce look flashed across the hooligan's eyes. He lifted the bottle and wanted to hit Fang Heng.
"Hu!"
However, the next second, he realized that his wrist was tightly grabbed by Fang Heng.
Then, an unprecedented pain came from his lower abdomen!
"Bang!"
The hooligan was sent flying by Fang Heng's kick. He clutched his lower abdomen and struggled to stand up. He trembled and could not speak.
Fang Heng was slightly surprised.
The strength of this kick was extremely strong. With just one kick, that hooligan could stand up so quickly?
"Kid, where did you come from?"
The one who spoke was a bald man. There was a dragon tattoo on the left side of his head. His exposed skin revealed a hint of green.
"I'm Fang Heng. I heard that your Scavenger Army needs manpower." Fang Heng stood where he was and looked around at the players. "I'll be straightforward. I admire your philosophy. I want to join."
"You want to join?"
Bald Roche turned to look at the truck behind Fang Heng and chuckled. "Interesting. Did you come alone? You have some guts."
"I'm the only one who wants to join. Naturally, I'll come alone."
"Hahahaha, good! I admire your confidence! But you have to prove that you're different from the trash outside."
"What do you mean?"
"When you came, you should have noticed the nearby shelter, right? I think those people are an eyesore. Go there and make some random destruction to prove your strength."
"Remember, come back before dawn. You only have one chance."
[Hint: You have triggered a special mission-Scavenger Army.]
Mission name: Scavenger Army.
Mission description: Pass Roche's test and obtain the recognition of the Scavenger Army.
Mission requirements: Obtain 500 reputation points of the Scavenger Army (kill
Army (killing survivors, destroying things, looting survivors' materials and other acts can obtain the Scavenger Army honor points).
"As expected of the villain force, the missions are all so villainous."
Fang Heng muttered in his heart.
Was this the reason why the Federation issued a ban on players joining the Scavenger Army?
"I'll be back soon."
Fang Heng said as he returned to the driver's seat.
He already had some plans in his heart.
The Dragon Country Game Guild.
It's you, guys!
Fang Heng opened the map and randomly found a nearby shelter belonging to the Dragon Country Game Guild. He drove the truck quickly.
…
"What? The entire team was wiped out?!"
"Is it still the same attacker from before?"
"It's not him. It's a group attack by the Lickers."
The president of the Dragon Country Game Guild, Niu Xia, hung up the phone.
He felt more and more uneasy.
Was it done by an enemy company?
Was it Crimson Technology? Or was it a mercenary group that was hired?
It didn't seem like it.
Such a way of doing things was too weird.
"Spread the word. From now on, cancel all non-essential activities in the game and reduce the range of activities. Temporarily abandon the apocalypse merchant camp and don't go any closer."
After thinking for a short while, Niu Xia immediately gave the order. "Also, issue another announcement. Send out the news that we have received an unknown group of high-intensity Lickers."
"Okay, president, I will do it right away."
The subordinate nodded. Just as he turned around to leave, he hesitated again.
