Chapter 378: Infiltrating the Team
"A small part of the special silver bullets have been made by Liu Huiying. There aren't many of them, so we need to use them sparingly. "
Zhou Lei nodded and checked the materials on the low table one by one.
Soon, he picked up a holy scripture on the table, put his hand on the front of the scripture, and chanted.
A faint light appeared on Zhou Lei's palm.
Fang Heng looked at Zhou Lei curiously.
"With such a specialized talent skill like demon-hunting, why didn't he choose to go to Vampire Apocalypse instead? "
After Zhou Lei finished his prayer, he poured eight glasses of water.
"This is holy water after prayer. It has a certain restraining effect on vampires. Drinking it can reduce the damage of vampires to us. "
Everyone picked up their glasses and drank the water in one gulp.
Fang Heng also took a glass.
Before the liquid reached his mouth, Fang Heng instinctively resisted it.
"Oh, right. I'm also a vampire. " Fang Heng thought to himself and put the glass to the side.
Only Fang Heng did not drink the water. Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Ahem.
Fang Heng coughed lightly and explained, "I'm not good at fighting. I'm just a support player, so I won't be drinking it. "
Zhou Lei nodded, not forcing him to drink the holy water. He drank a bottle of ice cola to recover his strength. Then, he continued to make tools at the table.
Fang Heng yawned and asked, "Chief Wu, have you prepared what I asked for? "
"Yes. The thing you wanted is a little rare. I spent some effort on getting it. "
Wu Xingwen remembered Fang Heng as the latter's requested item had left a deep impression.
Although they did not know the true purpose of the stone cutter, the Federation still tried its best to satisfy Fang Heng's demand. They spent a lot of effort to get a cutter.
"Meteorite Company's large stone cutter model W-23 can only be used after it's been charged. "
Wu Xingwen took a 1.5-meter-long large cutter from his backpack and placed it heavily on the table.
"Also, this is a small generator and a regulator. "
Fang Heng walked to the table and picked up the large cutter, playing with it in front of his eyes.
"It's good stuff! With this, I can cut two pieces from the first-generation meteorite and put them into my backpack. One piece can be used for occult research, and the other piece can be kept as a sample, " he thought.
Fang Heng did not dare to guarantee the success of connecting the teleportation passage to Server 8.
Even if the plan failed, at least one of the first-generation meteorites could be brought back to complete the main storyline.
"This is great. With this stone cutter, our success rate for this mission will increase by at least half. "
"Stone cutter? " Nie Feiran came over curiously and looked at Fang Heng suspiciously. "Fang Heng, are you serious? Are you sure that it can help us with this mission? "
"Of course. Listen, this thing is very useful… "
Wu Xingwen looked at Fang Heng easily lifting the stone cutter with one hand, surprised.
He himself was a strength-based battle-type player.
After a long period of training by the Federation, he had absorbed a total of seven strength-related skill books. Only then could he easily lift the stone cutter with one hand.
Looking at how easily Fang Heng lifted it up, Wu Xingwen deduced that his strength attribute was definitely not low!
Therefore, Fang Heng's words about being a support player were a lie.
Perhaps he indeed had special uses for the stone cutter.
Wu Xingwen shifted his gaze away from Fang Heng.
"I'll interrupt everyone for a moment. Time is limited. Let me introduce the initial plan that will be carried out soon. There is still one hour and twelve minutes until daybreak. When daybreak breaks, the Federation will immediately launch an attack on the research institute. At that time, we will approach the research institute from the other side under the cover of the Federal sub-unit. Through Nie Feiran's group teleportation ability, we will directly pass through the research institute's external defense and teleport into the interior of the building. Then, we'll think of a way to destroy the teleportation passage. " Wu Xingwen roughly explained the plan. He then asked, "Do you have any questions or require any extra information? "
Amidst the silence, Fang Heng slowly raised his hand.
"Please speak. "
"Isn't the risk of directly breaking in a little too high? "
"Indeed, our plan is a risky one. After the subsequent teleportation into the research institute, we'll also have to play by ear. The time is tight, so we have no choice but to resort to this. " Wu Xingwen nodded. "Fang Heng, if you have a better plan, you can suggest it. "
"Actually, I have a friend who knows a little about the research institute. It is said that there is an underground sewer that leads to the research institute. "
"There is indeed an underground sewer that leads to the research institute, but we do not have the time to look for the entrance to the underground sewer now. Moreover, the evaluation team thinks that Night Owl has probably sealed all the entrances to the underground sewer. "
"It doesn't matter. My friend has his ways. He has already helped us break open the sealed sewer entrance. "
Wu Xingwen raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Fang Heng, what is your confidence level? "
"High. I guarantee to complete the mission. "
Wu Xingwen was swift and decisive. He quickly thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, then we'll do as you say. We'll sneak in directly through the sewer. Since we're using the underground sewer directly, then we don't have to wait until dawn. Let's set off now! "
…
In the darkness, everyone walked out of the temporary tent.
With the help of the Vampire Bloodline's night vision ability, Fang Heng finally realized the devastation of the battlefield outside.
At night, the vampires left the research institute. They ignored the Federation players in the periphery and headed straight for the battlefield at the front line.
Night Owl greatly looked down on the Federation.
The defense of the research institute was extremely strong. In addition, a large number of vampires were harassing them from the side. They had no way to break in. They could only hide in the temporary defensive line.
If they forcefully attacked, they would only suffer greater losses.
They could only hold their ground and clear out the vampires in the periphery. They were prepared to attack after daybreak.
"Follow me. "
Fang Heng's pupils were shrouded in a layer of red light.
After discerning the direction clearly under the night sky, Fang Heng led the players and rushed toward the entrance of the sewer.
Very soon, Fang Heng found the entrance to the sewer by the side of a stream.
Extremely experienced in moving around in the sewer, he took out a mask that was sprayed with perfume from his backpack and wore it on his face. He was the first to enter the sewer through the entrance.
The other players looked at each other and imitated Fang Heng. They made a face cloth and put it on their faces, then followed Fang Heng.
At first, they didn't sense anything odd. However, after following Fang Heng for a while, Wu Xingwen realized that Fang Heng seemed to be very familiar with the sewer, as if he had walked through it hundreds of times before.
Even stranger was
the fact that not a single zombie appeared along the way.
Wu Xingwen, who had prepared himself for any unexpected situation forcing them into combat, found it very unusual.
"Fang Heng, is this your first time here? "
"Of course. "
Nie Feiran was also curious, so she asked, "But you seem to be very familiar with this place. "
Chapter 379: The Cutter
"Yes. I have a friend, and he is quite nice. When he knew that we were coming, he helped to clean up the area in advance, " said Fang Heng with a smile, as if indirectly expressing his vast personal network.
Fang Heng walked along the passage. After more than ten minutes, he stopped.
By now, the smelly sewer environment had affected Wu Xingwen and the others a little.
Wu Xingwen covered his mouth and nose and asked, "Have we reached the end? "
Fang Heng explained, "There are two routes that lead to the inside of the research institute. For the first route, another 15 miles beyond this wall and we can directly reach the research institute's second basement. For the second one, we can also continue forward along the sewer. Ten minutes later, we'll be able to see the ventilation duct that connects to the research institute. We can climb into the research institute through the duct. However, the ventilation duct is very small, and the internal passage is also very winding, so this route will be more time-consuming. "
The environment of the sewer was harsh. Wu Xingwen did not want to continue staying in there, so he looked at Nie Feiran.
Understanding Wu Xingwen's gaze, Nie Feriran pinched her nose and replied, "The maximum distance of a single teleportation is 20 meters. "
She walked to the wall and pressed her hand on the wall. "The wall is made of ordinary stone mixed with metal alloy. Group teleportation through this material composition is possible. "
"All right. Let's teleport in directly. "
Hearing that, everyone took out their guns and loaded their bullets. They checked their equipment and got ready for battle.
When everyone was ready, Wu Xingwen gestured to everyone.
"Three, two, one! Teleport! "
Fang Heng felt a white light flash in front of him.
The next second, he found himself in the passage of the first basement.
Snap!
Chen Ziyang snapped his fingers.
The surveillance cameras in the nearby passage were simultaneously affected by the magnetic field, and they were instantly disabled.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He gave Chen Ziyang a thumbs up. "This move is pretty cool. "
"So-so, " Chen Ziyang responded and took out his gun while wary of the surroundings.
There were no enemies in the passage that everyone had teleported to.
The infiltration was smooth beyond their expectations.
Fang Heng shrugged and consciously shrank back to the back of the team.
"Everyone, this is the best my friend can do. We'll have to rely on you guys for the rest. I'm not good at fighting. Judging from the location of the spatial rift stabilizer, the time passage probably connects from the third basement or the fourth basement. We'll start from the third basement and go through the floors one by one. "
Wu Xingwen looked at Nie Feiran and asked, "Can we directly teleport to the next basement? "
Nie Feiran drank a bottle of Red Bull that could quickly recover her mental strength and said, "Each teleportation will take 10 minutes. "
"I suggest we don't teleport. "
"Huh? " Everyone looked at Zhou Lei.
Zhou Lei had been frowning ever since he stepped into the research institute.
He explained, "I can sense that there are a large number of vampires in the lower levels. If we were to rashly teleport down, we would be surrounded by the vampires and be in a difficult situation. "
"What do you suggest we do? "
Liu Huiying suggested, "I can create a sealing formation that targets the vampires. We can lure the vampires into the inner part of the formation and activate the magic in it to trap them. We can use this to take down a large number of vampires. "
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that.
The group of players gathered by the Federation seemed to be pretty capable.
However, he wondered, "Would I be recognized as a target by the sealing formation, too? "
"All right. We'll do as you say. We'll split into two groups. I'll bring some people to guard the entrance of the second basement-"
"Ah!
Just as Wu Xingwen was assigning tasks, Fang Heng suddenly called out and interrupted him.
"What's wrong? " asked Wu Xingwen.
"I'm sorry. I think a few of my friends are calling me. I need to go into the ventilation duct to take a look. " Fang Heng pointed at the ventilation duct beside him. "I won't be of help here anyway. I'll take my leave first. "
Wu Xingwen frowned. He looked at the ventilation duct, unaware of what Fang Heng was up to. However, he had asked Chen Yu about Fang Heng in advance.
He heard that although Fang Heng would seem unconventional in going about tasks, he actually had deeper plans.
"Go and hurry back. "
"Of course, " Fang Heng agreed and skillfully slipped into the ventilation duct.
"Let's continue. "
The other players didn't know much about Fang Heng, so they didn't particularly feel his absence was a problem. Excluding Fang Heng, they quickly scattered to do their assigned tasks.
Liu Huiying and Zhou Lei worked together to set up a sealing formation against the vampires. Wu Xingwen took the remaining players to the entrance of the second basement and cleaned up the vampires along the way.
…
"The research institute has been infiltrated by the Federation. Parazon would probably discover them soon, right? I guess I'll have them fight the vampires first. " Fang Heng licked his lips and entered the sixth basement through the ventilation duct.
"Beep, beep, beep. Verification successful. Welcome back, Dr. Liu. "
Returning to the laboratory in the sixth basement, Fang Heng felt uneasy and carefully walked to the command station of the cultivation pod.
It was time to see his luck.
Fang Heng took a deep breath and pulled himself together. He reached out and pressed the red button.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
In the cultivation pod, the orange-yellow nutrient solution was quickly extracted.
Three lines of game hints showed on Fang Heng's retina.
"Hint: you have completed the cultivation of the Tyrant form. In total, there are 32 zombie clones (vine parasite) and 10 successful fusion transformations. "
"Hint: the current zombie clones (modified Tyrant form, modified vine parasite) are considered abnormal. For each clone, you can spend 15 thousand survival points and 3 Tier 1 evolution crystals to completely eliminate the risk of unstable clone conditions and solidify the current fusion transformation status. "
"Hint: after solidifying the clone, the clone will be able to maintain the Tyrant form and vine parasite fusion even in the situation of resurrection after death. "
The doors of the cultivation pods opened at the same time.
The zombies that had failed to evolve melted into a puddle of meat. The remaining ten newly born Tyrant forms stepped out of the pods and stood in a row behind Fang Heng, looking quite imposing.
A total of ten Tyrant forms with heightened combat ability had been added.
Fang Heng secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his head to do some calculations.
"Wait. The math doesn't add up. With 42 Tyrant forms, the success rate is 27% . In theory, I would completed 11.3 Tyrants. Damn it! There's one less! " Fang Heng muttered to himself about how his luck that day was not very good.
"I want to use points to complete solidification! "
"Hint: you have consumed 150 thousand survival points and 30 Tier 1 evolution crystals. Solidification of completed Tyrant forms is done. "
Fang Heng let the few Tyrant forms stay where they were, then jumped down into the hole in the floor that he had made before, entering the seventh basement again.
Clack.
As soon as he landed, the thick smell of blood once again stimulated Fang Heng's nostrils.
Raising his head, he saw the first-generation meteorite still quietly soaking in the blood pool.
Fang Heng walked forward, took out the cutter from his backpack, and connected it to the portable diesel generator.
"Hint: 20 strength points are required to operate the stone cutter. Player has met the conditions for using the stone cutter
Chapter 380: Meteorite Obtained
Fang Heng held the cutter with both hands and turned it on.
Bzz…
The cutting disc rotated at a high speed, emitting a loud sound.
Sparks flew in all directions.
The first-generation meteorite was extremely hard. It took Fang Heng a full two minutes to cut off a small protruding piece from the first-generation meteorite.
Fang Heng held it in his hand and examined it.
The small piece of the meteorite was only half the size of a fist.
Perhaps it was due to the heat emitted when cutting, but Fang Heng felt a burst of warmth from the meteorite.
"Hint: player has obtained a first-generation meteorite fragment. "
Item: first-generation meteorite fragment.
Description: the item contains a large amount of radiation. After putting it into a backpack, it will continue to produce a radiation effect, causing a negative effect on the body (as time goes by, the radiation effect will gradually increase) .
"Hint: you have completed the current main storyline (Server 8) : obtain the first-generation meteorite. "
"Hint: due to the insufficient amount of first-generation meteorite obtained, submitting the quest will receive a lower quest score and have a probability of affecting the subsequent main storylines. "
"Hint: you can collect more of the first-generation meteorite before submitting the quest. "
"I've succeeded! " Seeing the game hints, Fang Heng completely relaxed.
Using a roundabout way, he finally obtained the first-generation meteorite.
This time, he did not visit Server 5 in vain.
Fang Heng decided to cut off another piece and use occult skills to research it.
He shook his right hand, which was slightly numb from the earlier vibration of the cutter, before turning the cutter on again.
Since he had gotten the hang of it, the second cut only took a minute.
Fang Heng cut off a smaller piece from the first-generation meteorite.
"Hint: you have obtained 1 first-generation meteorite fragment. "
"Hint: it has been detected that you have a special skill: basic occult (level 2) . You can use this skill to analyze the first-generation meteorite through occult analysis. "
"Hint: this analysis consumes 280 survival points. "
"Commence the analysis! "
Bzz…
The rune mark on the back of Fang Heng's hand flashed once again.
The first-generation meteorite in Fang Heng's hand was pulled by an invisible strength, and once again, it floated in the air, shaking violently.
Fang Heng had a bad premonition and took half a step back.
Bang!
Just as Fang Heng had expected, the first-generation meteorite in the air instantly exploded.
"Tch, it really exploded. "
"Hint: you have used basic occult to analyze the first-generation meteorite for the first time. You have obtained 4873 basic experience points for the skill Occult. "
"Hint: your skill — basic occult — has been upgraded to level 11. "
"Such a huge jump? " The sudden increase in experience points surprised Fang Heng.
The first-generation meteorite was indeed a high-tier product.
Analyzing it at once was equivalent to reading a few skill books.
Fang Heng calmed himself down and continued to open the game log.
"Hint: through basic occult (level11) detection, no spiritual energy or mental energy was found in the first-generation meteorite. Violent biological fluctuation and mild natural energy fluctuation found. "
"Wait. There are worms in meteorites? " Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the cracks carefully.
In the cracks, where the first-generation meteorite was shattered, a few small gray worms were wriggling and struggling violently.
Exposed to the air, they looked extremely uncomfortable. They struggled crazily and soon lost their vitality.
"Hint: you have found an unknown worm life form. This life form has a large amount of life energy. "
"Meteorite… worm… " Fang Heng muttered to himself as he put away the first-generation meteorite fragment and left the seventh basement.
…
In the passage of the second basement.
Wu Xi
Xingwen led two Federation players as they ran along the passage.
Behind them, a group of vampires chased after them crazily.
After running around a corner, Wu Xingwen shouted at the top of his lungs, "Do it! "
In the middle of the passage of the second basement, Zhou Lei and Liu Huiying, who were kneeling on the ground, heard Wu Xingwen's shout. They reached out their hands at the center of the anti-demon seal formation under their feet at the same time, concentrating mental strength on it.
Swoosh!
The anti-demon seal formation was instantly activated, and a purple light flashed!
Red light spread out in all directions, and a thin layer of red mist rose up from the ground across more than half of the passage of the second basement.
The ground beneath the feet of the vampires who were on a chase in the second basement was shrouded by the mist, and it was as if they had fallen into a swamp.
The substance-like mist trapped all the vampires on the spot!
"Get rid of them! " Upon seeing this, Wu Xingwen and the two main damage dealers from the Federation no longer tried to escape. They turned around and took out the revolving machine gun from their backpacks. They assumed that the cannon was aimed at the vampires and fired wildly.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
Large caliber bullets rained down crazily.
After more than ten minutes, the entire passage of the second basement was cleared of vampires.
"Are there many vampires left in the third basement? "
Zhou Lei tried to sense for a while and frowned. "Almost two-thirds of them have been cleaned up, but there is still a lot left… "
Chen Ziyang thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't we lure some of them over in batches? "
"Yes, the anti-demon seal formation can last for a while. "
"Okay! "
Wu Xingwen immediately gave a plan of action.
"We'll move to the third basement and think of a way to attract a wave of vampires to deal with them. If we encounter any danger, we'll immediately move back to the second basement! "
Everyone nodded in unison.
Liu Huiying thought of something and looked around.
"Where's Fang Heng? Isn't he back yet? "
"We won't be waiting for him. He has the ability to protect himself. Let's go first. "
After saying that, Wu Xingwen took the lead and rushed into the third basement.
Just as they stepped into the passage opening of the third basement, several low-level vampires charged forward.
"Back off. I'll take them on! " Wu Xingwen shouted loudly. The muscles on his right arm swelled in the blink of an eye and expanded by several points!
He clenched his fist and threw a punch forward.
Bang!
The five low-level vampires were sent flying by Wu Xingwen's punch and crashed into the wall behind them.
Move! " Wu Xingwen took a step forward and wanted to rush forward.
"Wait! " Zhou Lei sensed something and reached out his hand to stop them from moving forward. He stared at the passage ahead.
A voice sounded, "I was wondering who it was. So it's a demon hunter… "
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw an old vampire with a cane slowly walk out around the corner of the other end of the passage.
"Since you've come, you can stay here forever. "
Zhou Lei held a demon-hunting talisman in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, it's the Marquis of the vampires. "
"I'll take him on! " Wu Xingwen strode forward and swung his fist at the old man.
A strong wind blew across Dai Ze's face, and he jumped far away with a tap of his toes on the ground. The movements of the old vampire Dai Ze appeared to be light, which did not match his body.
"Fool… " The old man raised his cane in the air and pointed it at Wu Xingwen.
Thump! Thump!
The moment he was hit by the cane, Wu Xingwen felt that the time around him seemed to have stopped for a moment. He heard two clear heartbeats in his ears.
It was as if something was gripping his heart hard.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Seeing that, Liu Huiying raised her gun and fired.
Silver bullets with a special anti-demon rune on it were shot out of the pistol.
Dai Ze had no choice but to put away his cane.
With light footsteps, he moved around in the limited space of the passage, dodging all the incoming bullets.
