Chapter 242 Controlling Water Temperature
“The two beam cannons in the residence have unexpectedly malfunctioned during operation. The cannons have been damaged and they could not be used for the time being.”
Meng Hao’s face fell.
What the hell!
The zombie wave was surging. It was already very difficult for them to deal with this situation. If the two beam cannons went on strike…
How were they supposed to defend against the next wave of zombies!
The people from the Federation still had to deal with the low-level Blood Moon. It would take at least two to three hours for them to arrive.
Without the two beam cannons, how were they supposed to defend?
As time passed, once the zombie horde gathered…
They might as well surrender!
“My people are already carrying out emergency repairs on the beam cannons. To survive this period, I will provide you with some combat weapons to ensure your combat ability to deal with the zombies outside.”
Hearing this, Meng Hao was stunned.
Finally! Tsugawa Hideharu was finally willing to provide them with weapons!
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
With the support of high-level weapons, they could more or less hold on for some time.
If they were lucky, they might even be able to hold on until the Federation’s reinforcements arrived.
Meng Hao had scolded Tsugawa Hideharu in his heart countless times, this old man who didn’t give a single cent.
However, he still hid his emotions and replied, “Thank you for your generosity, Mr Tsugawa. We will do our best to help you protect the safety of the mansion.”
“You’re welcome. In addition, I know that your team has some unconventional and powerful weapons. I hope that you can use these weapons to help me protect the mansion and the pupa project. ‘It’ is all I have.”
“As long as you can protect the mansion, I will give you compensation at the end of the Blood Moon.”
Compensation?!
Meng Hao’s heart pounded violently, and he exchanged a glance with Zhao Qinsi.
Zhao Qinsi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, “Mr Tsugawa Hideharu, if we successfully resist the attack of the zombie horde, are you willing to release the pupa project Level 1 to us?”
Tsugawa Hideharu was silent for a moment. He seemed to be considering the conditions Meng Hao had proposed. Meng Hao’s breathing became heavy, and his heart was in his throat.
Once Tsugawa Hideharu agreed, it would be equivalent to getting all the players in the company to obtain +3 attribute modifications!
In the early stages of the game, such modification was worth thousands of gold coins!
After thinking for a moment, Tsugawa Hideharu replied, “I promise you, but you must provide the materials needed for the experiment and the corresponding maintenance fees. Moreover, I cannot guarantee the success rate of the experiment.” “Alright! Mr Tsugawa, don’t worry! We will do our best to protect the safety of the mansion.”
“I wish you all good luck. I will get someone to repair the beam turret as soon as possible.”
After hanging up, Meng Hao waved his fist fiercely.
That old fart, Tsugawa Hideharu!
He finally relented!
Last time, their company spent a lot of resources to exchange for two pupa project Level 1 modification slots from Tsugawa Hideharu.
It seemed that this time, the mansion was at a critical juncture of life and death.
Only then would he be willing to relent.
As long as they could defend the mansion, they could officially participate in Tsugawa Hideharu’s pupa project!
From the beginning of the Blood Moon until now, they finally had some good news. The NPCs belonging to the Meteorite Company dragged out a few weapon boxes from the warehouse for the players to take.
Now, the AEFC Company players had the defense weapons, as well as an even bigger
goal.
For a moment, the player’s team was full of fighting spirit. Meng Hao couldn’t help but think that if Tsugawa Hideharu revealed the pupa project Level 1 to them, then they would be able to make up for the loss of the shelter… He could also explain to his boss and the board of directors.
Everything was built on the premise of protecting the mansion!
They had to protect the mansion!
Thinking of this, Meng Hao immediately turned to Zhao Qinsi and said, “Just these ordinary weapons aren’t enough to stop the Corpse King. I’m going offline to apply to the headquarters to obtain the King of Gods’ points to buy weapons.” “Okay.”
Zhao Qinsi was as calm as ever, but unlike before, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
“Hurry up and go. I will handle the situation here.”
On the other side, Victor turned off the microphone switch, turned off the computer simulation sound effects and made an OK gesture to Mo Jiawei.
“Awesome!”
Fang Heng high-fived Mo Jiawei, who was sitting in front of the microphone.
“Hahaha, those idiots think I’m Tsugawa Hideharu. This time, I’m sure they’ll be fooled!”
Mo Jiawei was in a good mood and laughed out loud.
When he was carrying out the expansion plan, AEFC Company had secretly set him up. A big problem had occurred and the prison had almost fallen.
Now that he had taken revenge on them, the feeling was really good!
He felt more at ease!
Victor had also overheard the conversation between Mo Jiawei, who was pretending to be Tsugawa Hideharu, and the AEFC Company player. He felt strange and could not help but ask, “But Fang Heng, why are we lying to them? The four beam energy cannons are still intact and in a usable state. We are not in a hurry to dismantle the laser beam turrets now.” “Sigh! Uncle is really naive…”
Looking at the innocent Victor, Mo Jiawei sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
He thought that Victor was not good enough. It was obvious that he was a newcomer who had just joined Fang Heng’s team. He was not ‘sinister’ enough. Fang Heng was in a good mood after he got the pupa project for free. He patiently explained, “Victor, have you heard of controlling the water temperature?”
“Controlling the water temperature?” Victor looked confused. “What’s that?”
“I’ll do it.” Mo Jiawei volunteered to explain the story of boiling a frog in warm water to Victor.
“If you put a frog into boiling water, it will jump out. But if you put it into cold water and heat it slowly, it will not sense the danger and will eventually be cooked.”
Victor frowned and thought for a while.
“Mo Jiawei, I doubt the correctness of your theory.”
“Correctness and authenticity are not important. The meaning of this story is that we have to play with the people of AEFC slowly and control the water temperature. Don’t scare them yet.”
Victor suddenly understood.
“I understand. You want to continue to give the AEFC team a certain amount of pressure and not give them time to catch their breath.”
“That’s right.”
Fang Heng snapped his fingers.
“People tend to have wild thoughts when they’re not under pressure. If they sense that something is wrong and take the initiative to attack the mansion, it will be very troublesome. If we give them some pressure, they won’t have the time to have wild thoughts.”
“The second point is to cheat them of their King of Gods’ points and get them to give us what they have.”
Mo Jiawei also chuckled.
“Right, right, right. If they don’t need to deal with the zombies, they might use these points against us. So let’s quickly cheat them now.” Cheating the enemy of their King of Gods’ points was cool!
It was really cool to harm others and benefit oneself!
Fang Heng continued, “The third point is more important. I just received news that AEFC Company has reached a cooperation agreement with the Federation. The Federation will come here soon to support them.”
As he spoke, Fang Heng’s expression gradually became serious.
“I don’t want the Federation to find out that we’re related to the pupa project. Try to delay the time for the outside world to deal with the Blood Moon.”
“We need to send all the information related to the pupa project back to the shelter before the outside world finds out that there’s a problem inside the mansion.”
“Oh right, we also need to take the beam turrets with us. Don’t forget about that.”
Victor stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll go to the second basement to start the demolition
now…”
Mo Jiawei patted his chest and said, “Leave the beam turrets to me. I’m familiar with controlling the temperature of the water!” “Okay.”
Fang Heng controlled the zombie team behind him and said, “Victor, I’ll help you dismantle the machine.”
