Tier 4!
The same tier as the Nemesis!
The worms were the same as when they were at Tier 0, and their movement speed was unusually slow.
They wriggled slowly on the ground, gnawing at the corpses on the ground.
The close-range explosion directly caused more than half of the Federation’s elite team to die.
Zhang Zhe’s condition wasn’t too good either. Even though he had been pushed away by Tang Chu at the last moment of the explosion, he had also been affected by the explosion.
He quickly took out a first-aid needle from his backpack and injected it into his arm.
“Sir! Are you okay?”
“Quick! Gather the team!”
Looking at the worms scattered in the desert, Zhang Zhe’s face was gloomy and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Twelve…”
Zhang Zhe counted the number of crystallized forms left after the explosion.
Among them, four were Tier 4 crystallized forms and eight were Tier 3 crystallized forms.
Such a creature’s strength was a disaster for any shelter!
Currently, the Federation could only deal with two Tier 4 creatures at most, which was their limit!
“Contact the shelter and report to superiors!”
“Stop them! Buy time! No matter what price you pay, do not let them enter the shelter!”
“Yes!”
“Contact the headquarters and ask them to send reinforcements. Low-tier thermal weapons do almost no damage to them. Apply for emergency exchange. We must use highly corrosive sulfuric acid howitzers to deal with them.”
“Yes, Sir!”
The elite team of the Federation was equipped with weapons, and dense bullets rained down on their skin.
The bullet’s damage was very limited against Tier 3 crystallized forms, but it successfully angered them
The Tier 4 crystallized worms, on the other hand, were immune to the bullet’s attack. They didn’t even bother with the bullets, slowly creeping toward the shelter behind the player group.
Far away, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were quietly watching the battle.
“Fang Heng, what do you say? The people from the Federation shouldn’t be able to hold on, right?”
Fang Heng looked at the worms and couldn’t help but ponder.
Four of them were all Tier 4 creatures. The reward for killing them should be pretty good.
“I also feel that they won’t be able to hold on.”
Saying that, Fang Heng slowly sat down, opened a packet of biscuits and entered long-range spectator mode.
“There’s no rush. Let’s watch a little longer. The Federation should have some counter-measures. Let them think of a way to weaken them first, then we’ll go up and take the reward.”
Mo Jiawei thought about it and felt that it made sense.
“Right… We can’t help for nothing. We still have to get more benefits from the Federation… we’ll have to contact Chen Yu later.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he threw a simple bed to the side.
“I remember that the shelter needs some rare and special materials to advance to Tier 3, right?”
“Uh, I think so.”
Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng, who was calmly watching the situation, and then lowered his head to look at the distant Federation players who were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the crystallized forms.
They were already suffering yet Fang Heng still want to pick up a handful of wool from them.
For some reason, his heart ached for the people of the Federation.
…
This battle lasted for a full four hours!
The sun was about to set.
The Federation had spent quite a bit of effort to clear out all the Tier 3 crystallized worms.
Only the last four Tier 4 crystallized worms were left!
The strength of the Tier 4 worms was mostly focused on defense. They did not have any long-range attacks.
As long as they did not approach, the worms would basically stand there and take a beating.
The discipline of the Federation elite team was extremely good. No one would charge forward alone.
After using the emergency funds to exchange for the corrosive howitzers, the Tier 4 worm’s body was blasted with a few corrosive holes. The Federation players continued to attack the wounds.
The worm’s strong defensive ability allowed the corroded wounds to slowly recover.
Therefore, the Federation had no choice but to use a few howitzers to break the defense of the crystallized worms at intervals.
Zhang Zhe, who was commanding the battle, was extremely tense.
Although the worms’ movement speed was very slow, they were still approaching the shelter!
At this speed, it was estimated that the worms would reach the shelter in another hour.
The family members of important Federation members who had stayed in the shelter had already left early, but the Federation soldiers would still choose to defend the shelter with their lives.
It was impossible to hold on!
Zhang Zhe reasoned that they would never be able to defend the shelter against four Tier 4 crystallized forms!
He couldn’t think of any way to stop this wave of worms.
The Federation had spent a lot of effort to build the shelter and they were going to give it up just like that?
He would not be able to handle such a big mistake by himself no matter what!
When this matter was over, he would definitely be punished by the Federation!
His only chance was to solve this problem!
“Sir! Look over there!”
Zhang Zhe’s heart skipped a beat as he turned his head to look at a military truck that was approaching them not far away.
The truck stopped not far from the team.
When he saw Fang Heng and Lucia walking out from the truck, Zhang Zhe could not help but frown.
His mood was extremely bad, and he would not give Fang Heng a good look.
“Fang Heng, why are you here? The Federation is dealing with the matter urgently. Unrelated personnel, please evacuate immediately!”
“Your boss invited me here.”
Fang Heng said as he looked at the worms that were approaching the shelter.
“I heard that you were tricked by Night Owl again? Someone has to help you clean up this mess. After all, I still want to continue in Server 8.”
Zhang Zhe’s face was ashen.
Chen Yu walked down from the back of the truck.
“Zhang Zhe, this is the latest order from the higher-ups. Fang Heng will act as a staff officer and help us solve the problem of the crystallized bodies.”
Zhang Zhe’s expression changed as he looked at the copy of the letter of appointment that Chen Yu showed him.
“Are you crazy too? You’re endorsing him? Four Tier 4 creatures, what right does he think he has to help us?”
“These are orders from the superiors.”
“Good! I’d like to see how you deal with these crystallized creatures!” Zhang Zhe shouted angrily, “Meddling in my operation rashly! I’ll definitely report it to the superiors!”
After saying that, Zhang Zhe flicked his sleeves and left.
He sneered in his heart.
When he first saw Fang Heng, he was indeed angry.
But now, Zhang Zhe felt an indescribable ease.
He found someone to blame.
If Chen Yu was willing to take over this mess, then the rest would have nothing to do with him.
Although he would still receive a series of punishments after the incident, it was still much better than now.
No one could resist this wave of crystallized forms.
The destruction of the shelter was a foregone conclusion!
When the time came, everything could be pushed on Chen Yu! What he needed to do now was to quickly evacuate with the important people in the shelter!
Looking at Zhang Zhe leaving alone, Chen Yu snorted. The word ‘disdain’ was written on his face.
He said in an extremely low voice, “Shame…”
Tang Chu and the other team captains were also very angry and dissatisfied with the act of running away and throwing the blame on others.
“I am Tang Chu, head captain of the elite team of the Federation’s desert shelter. Sir! Please give me your instructions!”
“I am Chen Yu. I am in charge of this operation now.”
As he spoke, Chen Yu turned around and looked at Fang Heng.
The latter patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.
“Think on the bright side. Now it’s your turn to be the steward. Let’s solve this problem together.”
