Chapter 342: Join the Gang
Niu Xia saw the other party's hesitation and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"President, do you think it's Fang Heng?"
Fang Heng?
This name made a few high-level players in the office think of something, and they couldn't help but shiver.
Recently, District 8's Fang Heng's Prison Army had become too popular.
The continuous popularity had also made their District 7 hear about it.
Fang Heng's background had been completely exposed on the forums.
This included his dark history when he was a professional player, and the matter of him being cleaned up by the Dragon Country Guild in Server 7.
Only then did president Niu Xia and the guild's high-level players realize that they had dealt with Fang Heng in the past.
On the surface, Niu Xia didn't say it, but in his heart, he was very regretful.
A nobody. Who would have thought that he would turn the tables so quickly? In an instant, he had become a popular character in the game.
He could not afford to provoke him!
If he had known, he would not have offended him no matter what he said.
"President, Fang Heng can control Lickers to fight in Server 8. This time, we were also attacked by Lickers. Do you think he had come to Server 7 to seek revenge on us…"
"Don't think too much. He has developed so well in Server 8. Why would he come back to Server 7?"
President Niu Xia shook his head and said, "Go and check if there is any movement from the opposing legions. Also, report what happened today to the Federation. Say that they suspect that it is related to the anti-federation forces and use the Federation's strength to investigate."
"Yes! There's one more thing, president. Recently, the Scavenger Army has been acting aggressively. A few large guilds that have developed nearby have sent us an invitation to cooperate. They have invited you to participate in tomorrow's video conference to discuss how to deal with the Scavenger Army. How should we reply?"
"Promise them that I will attend on time."
"President! This is bad!"
A player hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.
Niu Xia's heart sank. "Speak!"
"President, our Warehouse No. 7 in the game was burned down, and our shelter was destroyed."
"What's going on!"
"It's a zombie team. Warehouse No. 7 was ambushed by a zombie team… that group of Lickers is unstoppable…"
…
"Hahaha, well done! Well done! You didn't disappoint me!"
Bald Roche was very satisfied with Fang Heng's performance.
"Do you see that man over there? He's Yatu. He's in charge of the logistics of our Scavenger Army. If you want to change your equipment, go find him."
"Recently, Boss asked us to clean up the area around Edge Creek Town. This town is our temporary stronghold. You can find a place to stay. I'll inform you when we move out."
"In addition, if you are interested, I have a lot of individual missions to release to the public."
Roche briefly introduced the current situation of the Scavenger Army, then left Fang Heng to the side and continued to drink with the survivors of the Scavenger Army.
A series of hints quickly flashed in front of Fang Heng.
[Hint: You have joined the Scavenger Army.]
[Hint: You have become a low-level member of the Scavenger Army. Due to your outstanding performance, you have gained an additional 1500 Scavenger Army reputation points.]
[Hint: Increase your member level. You can receive higher-level missions and exchange them for higher-level item from the Scavenger Army.]
Fang Heng looked around the square.
The burning bonfire lit up the entire town square. Many NPC survivors gathered in twos and threes to chat and drink.
Fang Heng felt even more strange.
It was already early in the morning, but these survivors had no intention of sleeping or resting. They were all excited.
Fang Heng shook his head and walked to the middle-aged NPC named Yatu in the corner.
Yatu was different from the group of revelers. He looked very calm. He had always been sitting in the corner, with two burnin metal barrels beside him.
"Newcomer, I like your mask."
"Thank you."
"Everyone is talking about you. I heard that you destroyed a survivor camp's warehouse by yourself? I can only say that you did a good job. You might be very suitable for this place."
"Maybe. I want to see what I can exchange for here."
"It's all here. You can choose whatever you want. Also, this is your reward."
Yatu handed Fang Heng a steel dagger and showed Fang Heng the exchange list.
Fang Heng immediately opened the list to check.
The items on the list were all relatively ordinary food and weapons.
Fang Heng flipped through the list and lost interest.
"I heard that there's a potion here that can strengthen one's physique?"
"Heh, I guessed it long ago. You really came for that thing."
"You have it?"
"That's something only core members can have. You're not qualified to exchange for it."
Yatu raised his hand and pointed at Roche, who was celebrating in the middle of the square.
"Go find him. He still has a lot of missions that he's looking for someone to handle. When you gather enough reputation and get promoted, you can naturally exchange for the divine potion from me."
Fang Heng suddenly realized something. He turned his head and looked at the excited survivors of the Scavenger Army in the square.
"What effect does the divine potion have?"
"Hahaha, haven't you already seen it with your own eyes?" Yatu laughed. "They have all taken the potion. Once you anger them, they can just wring your head off with their hands."
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and thought of the hooligans he had kicked previously.
If it was an ordinary person, this kick could make him lie on the ground for an entire day.
Fang Heng judged that the divine potion should be able to improve the player's physique and strength, but it most likely also had some negative effects.
The Scavenger Army was in high spirits in the middle of the night. Under their exposed skin, there was a hint of deathly green.
No matter how one looked at it, it didn't feel right.
"What about you? Why didn't you use the divine potion? You should have met the requirements long ago, right?"
"Hehe, this thing has a bit of a negative effect. They will make 'this' uncontrollable."
Yatu pointed at his own head.
"Your emotions will be released and difficult to control. I don't want to become like that, unless one day I'm really infected with the zombie virus and am about to die. This potion can improve the body's resistance, even against the zombie virus. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand. Thank you, Yatu."
Fang Heng nodded.
There was still very little information about the divine potion. In short, it was better to complete the mission quickly along with the mission line. After becoming an elite member, one could obtain the divine potion.
If possible, he had to exchange more. He had to think of a way to bring it back to the shelter and let Qiu Yaokang study it. He might even be able to develop a potion with no negative effects.
Fang Heng stood up.
He was about to go talk to Roche when he suddenly realized that someone was secretly watching him.
Fang Heng suddenly turned his head and looked at the other corner of the square.
A girl with delicate features quickly looked away from Fang Heng.
Chapter 343: Untitled
She sat alone on a wooden chair, pretending that nothing had happened.
Fang Heng knew very well that she was secretly watching him!
This was the effect of his high perception attribute.
Fang Heng walked straight toward her.
"You're a player too?"
Cheng Ya didn't expect Fang Heng to come up to her. She knew that she had been discovered, so she could only look at Fang Heng. "You'd better leave this place immediately. It's very dangerous here."
"Oh? Since it's very dangerous, why did you stay here?"
"The divine potion is very dangerous."
Cheng Ya turned her head away as she spoke, no longer paying attention to Fang Heng.
She had seen a lot of people get lost in the strength brought by the divine potion and had tragic ends.
She felt that Fang Heng was the same as those people.
"Is that so? I want to try. You seem to know a lot about this place? Shall we form a team?" Fang Heng leaned over and whispered into Cheng Ya's ear. "I'm quite strong. Do you want to make money together?"
Cheng Ya had never been so close to a member of the opposite sex before. She was shocked and shrank back. She frowned and said, "I don't know you."
"So cold? Forget it."
Fang Heng stood up and walked toward Roche in the crowd.
"Hi, Roche. I want to accept the mission."
"Haha! Fang Heng, I admire your enthusiasm! We just won a battle and got a lot of good things, but this is far from enough."
"We plan to start clearing out the surrounding shelters from tomorrow. Before that, we still need some preparation work, and we are short of manpower."
"The missions are all here. You can pick anyone you want. Just tell me, and I will help you!"
Roche was in high spirits and his voice was very loud.
Fang Heng opened the mission list and saw more than ten pages of missions.
There were many kinds of missions, including collecting, scouting, sourcing for materials and so on.
Probably because of the Federation's ban and the high-difficulty pre-missions, the number of players who joined the Scavenger Army was very few, and the competition was also very low.
In that case, taking the efficiency of completing the mission into consideration…
Fang Heng quickly looked for the most suitable mission in each mission panel.
Soon, his gaze focused on one of the missions.
Collecting weapons!
This was the fastest!
For missions of the same level, collecting weapons gave the highest reward points!
"I choose this mission, Roche."
"Hahaha! Good! We are currently lacking a large number of weapons. Can you get us some back? The more the better! Buddy!"
Roche was excited. He reached out and patted Fang Heng's shoulder, his voice shaking the sky.
"I know you can do it! We will wait for you to come back! Come on, buddy!"
[Hint: You have received mission-acquire weapons.]
Mission name: Acquire weapons.
Mission description: Weapons are needed for burning, killing and looting. The recent bloody battle had consumed a large number of weapons from the Scavenger Army. To prepare for the new battle, the Scavenger Army need to replenish a large number of weapons.
Mission requirements: Obtain weapons and submit them to the Scavenger Arm (Points will be calculated according to the number and quality of weapons submitted by the player).
Roche's loud voice attracted the attention of many people.
"Go for it, buddy!"
Many people raised the beer bottles in their hands and signalled Fang Heng to go for it.
Fang Heng realized that these people's emotions had always been in an extremely high state.
It was very abnormal.
This kind of abnormality was most likely related to the divine potion.
Fang Heng secretly suppressed the doubts in his heart and focused on the current mission.
If he wanted to obtain weapons, the fastest way was of course to directly snatch them.
Fang Heng's first reaction was the Dragon Country Game Guilds.
They were quite good and had always been very helpful in the mission.
The corner of Fang Heng's mouth twitched slightly.
Ch Cheng Ya heard that Fang Heng had accepted the mission to collect weapons. She looked in the direction where Fang Heng had left and frowned.
…
Early in the morning, outside the shelter of the Dragon Country Guild.
Fang Heng revealed himself under a pine tree.
"It's already been attacked twice during the day. Why is the shelter's defense still so weak?"
Looking at the slightly weak shelter in front of him, Fang Heng could not help but mutter to himself.
"Then don't blame me."
Fang Heng laughed coldly in his heart and waved his hand in the direction of the shelter.
Behind him, the zombie team hidden in the shadows revealed themselves and approached the swaying shelter.
Soon, the Dragon Country Guild player on the sentry tower noticed the zombies gathering in the periphery.
"Attention! There are zombies!"
Sporadic gunshots broke the silence of the night.
"So many!?"
"Why aren't they hit? Why are these zombies so hard?"
The player guards from the Dgraon Country Guild on the sentry tower were all very nervous.
This group of zombies was too strange!
All the bullets from the pistol were emptied, but not a single zombie fell?
Not long ago, the shelter had just received news from the headquarters that the Dragon Country Guild had been attacked by an unknown source, so they had to stay alert.
The supervisor of the shelter, Qi Yu, had already made preparations. He had sent people to reinforce the defense line at the periphery of the shelter, and he had even sent an emergency team to stay on duty at night.
But all of this was useless!
Guns and bullets rained down on the zombie team, but the damage they could do was minimal.
In the blink of an eye, the zombie team had already approached the periphery of the shelter and started attacking the outermost defense building.
"No, Boss, we can't hold on like this!"
"Boss Qi!"
The commander of the shelter, Qi Yu, didn't answer for a long time. He just looked at the forest not far away.
His forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
A few players looked in Qi Yu's direction and their hearts sank.
What was lurking in the forest?
Licker?!
…
At the Dragon Country Guild.
"What? Shelter No. 7 has been attacked again?"
In the lounge, Niu Xia had just closed his eyes to rest for a while when he was awakened by a knock on the door.
He hurriedly put on a coat and rushed back to the meeting room to gather everyone for an emergency discussion.
"The other companies haven't been attacked by the zombies?"
His subordinate flipped through the information on hand and lowered his head to answer, "We haven't received any similar reports yet."
Niu Xia frowned.
He knew that the company was in big trouble this time!
In one day, their shelter had been attacked three times consecutively by the high-intensity zombie team!
Only their company had been attacked!
It was obviously targeted!
There must be someone secretly controlling this group of zombies!
Who could it be?
"President, the shelter that was attacked this time has already made preparations in advance. It can still hold on for a while. A few elite players of the nearby shelter have already come online urgently. They can provide support at any time."
Should they provide support?
The risk of operating at night was too great.
Niu Xia became a professional player at the age of 15. He became the captain at the age of 22. When he was 25, he founded the Dragon Country Gaming Company. He had made hundreds of decisions, big and small.
But he had never been so hesitant as he was today.
"Go provide support."
Niu Xia took a deep breath and made a decision.
If he did not even dare to fight, then Dragon Country Guild would lose completely.
Chapter 344: Returning with a Full Load
"Bring all the equipment! Rocket launcher, focused flamethrower and revolving machine gun too! We must defend the shelter!"
The subordinate quivered and nodded, "Yes!"
Dragon Country Gaming Company was not without a fighting chance.
They still had a few weapons such as the rocket launchers in their warehouse.
These weapons had taken the company more than ten years of effort to obtain.
They were one of the trump cards of the Dragon Country Guild!
Originally, these weapons were used to intimidate the enemy guild and to deal with the Scavenger Army.
Niu Xia did not expect to use them so quickly.
He had to win this battle. If he lost…
Niu Xia did not dare to think about it.
…
"Eh?"
In the bushes, Fang Heng made a slight sound of confusion.
A small player team appeared on the road in the distance.
They were heading toward the shelter at high speed.
Was it the support of the Dragon Country Company?
Fang Heng was surprised.
He didn't expect the Dragon Country Company to be brave enough to come to support them at night.
Good! Then he might as well kill them all at once!
Fang Heng immediately controlled the zombie team to stop attacking the shelter and rushed toward the support team that was coming from behind.
The backup team from the Dragon Country Company was all elites.
When they saw the zombie team changing their target, they immediately got out of the car and set up a temporary wooden fence to form a simple defensive line.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard!
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
There was even a revolving machine gun?!
The elite player from the Dragon Country Guild set up two large revolving machine guns at the back of the line.
Dense tongues of fire spat out, forming a powerful fire net!
The firepower of the revolving machine gun was powerful, and it also had a high stun effect.
The zombie team in the distance was threatened, and they were unable to get close to it for a time!
"Not bad.."
Fang Heng sneered in his heart and controlled the Lickers to attack from the side, trying to destroy the defensive line.
"Be careful!"
"It's the Lickers!!"
In the team, a player shouted and threw a flashbang in the direction of the Lickers.
"Swish!!"
"Buzz…!"
The flashbang instantly lit up the surroundings.
Affected by the high-frequency sound wave of the flashbang, the Lickers in the air fell to the ground one by one.
"Boom! Boom Boom! "
Grenades, Molotov cocktails, flashbangs…
The Dragon Country Guild's one-time-use weapons were thrown at the Lickers as if they were free.
The focused flamethrower spat flames in the night, causing more damage.
Fang Heng hid in the dark, frowning.
He thought to himself, good guy.
So the Dragon Country Guild is so rich?
Can money be wasted in such a manner?
If these high-level weapons were used to complete missions, how many points could they be exchanged?
Fang Heng's heart ached a little.
He couldn't let them waste any more weapons!
He controlled a few Lickers with low HP to spread out and circle to the side of the team.
The players from the Dragon Country Guild used their powerful firepower to suppress the zombie team.
However, before they could get excited, two Lickers suddenly darted out from the darkness on the side.
"Be careful!"
"Don't let them get close!"
"Flashbang!"
Seeing the approaching Lickers, a player prepared to throw another flashbang just like before.
But he didn't notice that the two Lickers' skin was suffused with an extremely strange red colour!
He was one step too late.
In the next moment, a huge explosion resounded through the entire forest!
Fang Heng also felt a slight tremor beneath his feet!
"Boom!!"
Two Lickers in mid-air exploded with a loud bang.
The blood that splattered around caused great damage to the surrounding area!
The skin of a few players closest to him was splashed by the blood that was produced from the explosion. They immediately felt a burning pain on their skin.
When they looked down carefully, their skin could be seen bleeding rapidly. The HP of their characters had also dropped drastically.
What the hell!
In the panic, the player had no mood to continue attacking. He hurriedly took out a medical spray from his backpack and sprayed it on the wound.
Following that, the zombie team took advantage of the chaos and immediately pounced on the players!
"Heh, the self-destruct skill is really useful."
Fang Heng chuckled.
"Boom!!"
"Boom Boom!!"
Taking advantage of the chaos, two more Lickers approached the player's defensive line and self-destructed one after another!
Instantly, the entire Dragon Country Guild's elite group fell into greater chaos!
Amid the chaos, there was no one to even control the revolving machine gun.
"Don't panic! They're coming over! Quick, stop them!"
A player shouted.
Was this f*cking something that could be stopped just because they wanted to?
The players who were splashed by the blood from the self-destructed Lickers were already cursing in their hearts.
Fortunately, the blood did not contain the zombie virus. After spraying the healing spray, their HP started to recover gradually.
However, by the time the players regained their senses, it was already too late to control the situation.
Under the cover of the night, the Lickers' speed was so fast that even the naked eye could not detect them!
Unless they used high-intensity weapons to hit it head-on or used flashbangs to slow it down!
The successive explosions created a huge gap in the player's defensive line.
"Quick! Retreat quickly!"
The vice president of the Dragon Country Guild, who was in charge of commanding, was completely panicking.
If this continued, all of their guild members would die here!
"You want to run now?"
Fang Heng didn't give them a chance to escape.
The two zombie clones took advantage of the chaos to stagger to the car they were driving.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Inside the shelter, the players on the sentry tower were dead silent.
Half a minute ago, the players were still preparing for battle, trying to cooperate with the elite team to wipe out this wave of zombies.
They didn't expect the reversal to happen so quickly!
Before they had the time to reassemble, their teammates outside had already been beaten up by the zombies and fled in all directions.
"Captain, the team is ready, we…"
The player's mouth was full of bitterness, "Are we still going to support them?"
Support my a*s!
Qi Yu's face was ashen.
Even the elite team couldn't defeat them and had already escaped, and they still need to go out and support them?
Wasn't this courting death?
Now, they could only retreat immediately and try their best to ensure their survival!
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
Fang Heng couldn't leave everyone behind. He focused most of his energy on the few trucks that came, preventing the players from leaving with the trucks,
As for the players who ran on their own, Fang Heng couldn't stop them. He was too lazy to chase them, so he simply let them off.
[Hint: Your zombie team has destroyed the player's shelter. You have gained an additional 5,000 Scavenger Army points.]
Half an hour later, the forest returned to its peaceful state.
The zombie team had also destroyed the shelter.
The zombie clones began to clean up the battlefield and collect the materials left behind in the shelter.
They threw the weapons they had collected one by one in front of Fang Heng.
Flashbangs, damaged focused flamethrowers, submachine guns…
"The Dragon Country Guild is quite rich…"
Fang Heng curled his lips and separated the weapons collected by the z zombie clones and loaded them into a small van.
After more than half an hour, Fang Heng returned with a van full of weapons.
