After bidding farewell to David, Fang Heng’s mind was still a little muddled.
He turned on the survival radio and sent a message to Old Black.
Fang Heng wanted to test Old Black to see if the attack at the gathering point of the Dark Knights had anything to do with him.
Seeing that Old Black did not reply, for the time being, Fang Heng put away the radio and ran outside the shelter to welcome the new NPCs.
The five survivors were sallow and emaciated. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot outside.
Fang Heng led them to the restaurant to get some food, changed into protective clothing, and returned to the underground laboratory of the shelter.
Qiu Yaokang was discussing something with Li Bo.
‘When they saw Fang Heng’s arrival, they all stopped discussing.
“Who are these people?”
Fang Heng noticed that Qiu Yaokang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had not slept for a long time.
“This guy is pretty good.” Fang Heng thought.
“Aren’t you short of manpower? I found you some odd-job labourers.”
Qiu Yaokang looked at the people behind Fang Heng.
He didn’t think that these people were very smart. In the past, he wouldn’t have cared about them at all.
However, it was the zombie apocalypse outside. It was already good enough to have a living person to use.
He had to make do.
Qiu Yaokang nodded at Li Bo.
Li Bo understood and said to the NPCs, “Come, follow me to register. I’ll teach you some basic laboratory rules first.
After Li Bo and the others left, Qiu Yaokang took out a small medicine box from the freezer beside the test bench.
“Lwas just about to look for you. This is our latest research and development. Take a look.”
Amazing!
One box at one shot!
As expected of an S-level character!
Fang Heng was delighted. He opened the medicine box to take a look.
{Hint: Your shelter’s basic research G-virus research has been upgraded to Level 5.]
[Hint: You have obtained a potion-powerful anti-infection potion*10, basic T-virus infection vaccine*10, G-virus anti-infection potion*1.]
Fang Heng took out three different potions from the box and looked at them. He felt like he had made a fortune.
D*mn it, he had even developed a basic T-virus vaccine!
It was so cool to have his own research laboratory!
(Modified G-virus anti-infection potion]
‘Type: Potion.
Description 1: Made by modifying the defective G-virus body. After consumption, it can permanently increase the resistance of the player to infection by a small amount, permanently increasing 3 physique attributes (the enhancement effect can only be increased once).
Description 2: Made by Qiu Yaokang. Production requires a G-virus body*1.
[Powerful anti-infection potion}
‘Type: Potion.
Description: After use, the anti-infection ability of the player will be greatly increased within 12 hours (the effect will gradually decrease as the number of uses increases).
[Basic T-virus infection vaccine]
‘Type: Potion.
Description 1: A low-efficiency vaccine developed by the G-virus is only effective within 5 hours of being infected with the T-virus, and only effective against infections below the intermediate level.
Description 2: There is a 20% chance that it will be ineffective after use.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
Fang Heng swallowed a bottle of the purple modified potion.
[Hint: You have used the modified G-virus anti-infection medicine, your resistance to infection has increased slightly, your basic physique +3.]
He earned another 3 physique points for free.
“And this.”
Qiu Yaokang bent down as he spoke, searching for something under the experimental table.
“What?”
“Based on the imitation developed by Meteorite Company’s live sample collector, I’ve been working on it overnight for the past two days.”
Qiu Yaokang had a serious look on his face. He lifted the heavy boxes from his feet to the experiment table.
“I don’t know why either. You seem to be able to meet some super strong mutated zombies. You’ll probably meet them on your trip to Pine City.”
“In short, if you meet them, you can collect more live samples. Don’t waste them.”
[Hint: You have obtained a box of live sample collector (48 pieces)*3.]
“Um… Thank you…”
So that’s why he stayed up all night for the past two days?
Fang Heng silently chose to accept the kindness.
The live sample collector was really a good thing.
It was also known as the ‘greedy collector’…
Fang Heng had inquired about it several times before. This kind of live sample collector was not sold in the apocalypse merchant camp or at the Dark Knights.
Only an $+ level NPC like Qiu Yaokang could replicate it.
The mission in Pine City was so big that it would be unreasonable if there were no Tier 4 mutated zombies.
If there was a chance, he had to collect more samples.
After all the preparations were done, Fang Heng calculated the time for the zombies to revive and the estimated time for them to arrive in Pine City tomorrow.
‘The number of zombies was enough, Fang Heng decided to let them stab each other to death every 20 minutes.
This way, the risk could be controlled, and it wouldn’t cause the zombies to revive in a dangerous place.
After arranging the suicide line, Fang Heng went offline early to rest and prepare for the battle tomorrow.
Return to reality.
Fang Heng had moved out of the rented room two days ago.
He was used to the comfortable life in Phoenix Sound Gaming Company, so he wasn’t happy to stay in the small rented room.
Fang Heng booked a room in a hotel not far from the company and stayed there for a long time.
Just as he was about to wash up, his phone rang.
He took his phone and looked at it.
There were hundreds of missed calls.
Chen Yu had been calling him since noon, every few minutes.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Mr Fang Heng. Please wait a moment. Captain Chen will come to answer the call right away.”
After waiting for more than half a minute, Chen Yu rushed over.
“Fang Heng, I’ve finally contacted you. I’ve already sent people to the prison to look for you.”
Chen Yu heaved a huge sigh of relief.
He had finally found him.
“So urgent? What’s the matter?”
“It’s about Pine City.”
“Actually, this mission was personally assigned by the higher-ups. They asked me to contact you.”
“We learned that you’ve joined the mission in Pine City because our people from the Federation will also participate in this mission.”
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Fang Heng, I’m very sorry. I’m not at liberty to reveal the specifics, but this mission is extremely important. During the process, we might need your assistance. We’ll try our best to satisfy you in terms of the remuneration.”
Hmm… the people from the Federation aren’t that good…
Fang Heng pondered in his heart.
How long has it been?
Why is the Federation’s intelligence lagging behind Old Black’s by so much?
“No problem.”
On the surface, Fang Heng still readily agreed, while at the same time asking Chen Yu for information.
“Do you know anything about Pine City and the mission?”
“Uh… this…”
“Alright, I understand. I won’t ask anymore.”
Chen Yu explained, “Fang Heng, due to the rules and regulations, it’s not convenient for me to reveal too much.”
“Ican only tell you that this mission is closely related to the main storyline. The Federation places great importance on this mission. The reward for this mission will definitely be generous, but the difficulty of completing it will also be very high.”
“The danger level of Pine City is $level, and all of them are high-tier zombies. To be honest, we don’t know why this mission was triggered so quickly.”
“Sigh!”
While speaking, Chen Yu sighed again.
“Theoretically, the mission should be triggered in half a year, or even longer.”
Hearing Chen Yu’s sigh, Fang Heng thought to himself, “I’m really sorry.”
“I did this!”
“It was me who accidentally triggered the mission by giving the live sample of Erita to the Dark Knights..”
