Western region.
Pan Jinwen was flipping through the map in his hand. His gaze was focused on a resource point in a hotel.
His expression was solemn.
The overall strength of the Western region players was not low, but they were especially fond of internal strife.
To fight for the position of faction leader, their people fell out first and started fighting.
This resulted in their Western region being placed at the bottom of the Tier 2 mission based on their strength.
The only good news was that the two Big Brothers had fought to the bitter end and were eliminated one after another. In the end, Pan Jinwen, who was ranked third, succeeded in becoming the leader.
Yesterday, Pan Jinwen and the remaining defeated soldiers had spent a lot of effort finding and clearing out a shelter.
By the time they bound the shelter, it was already dark.
They had no time to go out and collect food and materials.
In one night, the team had lost a third of their members.
The morale of the entire Western region players had fallen to the lowest point. If they could not find food, they could collapse at any time.
“Boss, Crimson Technology contacted us. The Eastern region has mobilized all of their members to attack the resource point. The Eastern region shelter has almost no defenses, and there are still a lot of materials inside. This is a great opportunity for us.”
Pan Jinwen was shocked.
“All of them? is the information reliable?”
His subordinate hesitated and said, “Crimson Technology is vouching for themselves. They shouldn’t dare to offend so many guilds in the three regions at the same time.”
“Moreover, the Eastern faction has fewer players than us. It’s not a waste for us to fight them head-on.”
Pan Jinwen had always been cautious.
“Something’s still not right. I’ve heard that Fang Heng’s Prison Army can control a zombie team to fight. It’s not a fluke that they were able to win the first place in the Tier 2 mission yesterday.”
His subordinate continued to explain, “But according to the information we got from Crimson Technology, Fang Heng was unable to use zombies in the game. Yesterday, he accidentally obtained a large number of Molotov cocktails as a weapon. That’s why he was lucky enough to win the first place.”
“Captain, make your decision quickly. The other two camps should have also received the news. They are already on their way. There are fewer people in the Eastern faction, so they couldn’t have used up all the large amount of food and materials they obtained through the Tier 2 mission yesterday. Moreover, we are the closest to the Eastern region…”
“No, the risk is too great.”
Pan Jinwen was always cautious. He thought carefully for a moment and said, “We are not going to the Eastern region.”
“Why?”
“If we encounter the other two camps when we get to the Eastern region, can we defeat them?”
Pan Jinwen glanced at his subordinates and said, “While they’re all going to cause trouble on the Eastern side, we should seize the time to occupy the firearms store and the food store’s resource points!”
“Okay!”
…
The players of the Eastern faction all sat in the back seats of the big trucks.
A team of fewer than 50 people arrived at the building materials market.
The screams of zombies could be heard from the market.
“Team 1! Team 2! Team 3! Team 4! Follow me! The rest of you stay put and set up a defensive line!”
“Understood!”
Yu Jie and Fang Heng quickly exchanged glances. They led the four pre-assigned team players into the building materials market to start cleaning up the zombies.
Fang Heng, on the other hand, was taking his time. He lit a bonfire on the spot and opened the game mission log.
Qin Ming felt very uneasy.
He turned his head from time to time to look at Fang Heng, who was sitting in a corner, resting with his eyes closed.
The players from the other regions did not have trucks. If they wanted to go to Fang Heng’s shelter, they would need to travel a long distance, so they would need to spend more time.
Eh?
Qin Ming noticed that Fang Heng had brought Mo Jiawei and the others into a truck.
Where were they going? Could it be that there were changes?
Qin Ming’s heart stirred, and he quickly followed them.
“Fang Heng, are you guys planning to go somewhere?”
Fang Heng looked at Qin Ming and said with a smile, “It’s you. There’s a slight change in plan.”
“Ah?”
Could it be that he had been discovered?!
Qin Ming’s breathing instantly became hurried, and a layer of cold sweat covered his back.
“It just so happens that we still lack manpower. Are you interested in coming with us?”
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment. “Me? Can I?”
“Of course, let’s go together.”
Qin Ming gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He boarded Fang Heng’s truck.
The truck headed toward the main road.
“Fang Heng, is there a problem at the shelter?”
“No, how could it be? I believe that my plan is perfect unless the news of the shelter without any defense is leaked.”
Qin Ming shuddered and smiled awkwardly. “How could that be?”
He opened the map and saw Fang Heng heading towards the south of the city.
“Fang Heng, where are you planning to go?”
“I’m planning to attack the Southern region shelter.”
“What?”
“Don’t panic, it’s just for show. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, we have to pretend to attack the Southern region shelter.”
A smile appeared on Fang Heng’s face. “It’s just a bluff. The bigger the commotion, the more alert the Southern shelter will be. They won’t dare to make a move.”
“Phew…”
Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
“I get it. You are trying to say that we are feigning to attack the Southern shelter so that the enemy won’t be able to determine our movements. They will think that we are strong, which will slow them down so that they won’t dare to attack us directly. Am I right?”
“Hahaha, Yu Jie is right. You are really smart.”
Fang Heng laughed and patted Qin Ming’s shoulder enthusiastically.
Qin Ming laughed in agreement, but he was laughing coldly in his heart.
Feign? There was no need to feign anymore!
He had already told Crimson Technology all about the Eastern faction’s background and battle plan!
In the back seat, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi looked at each other silently.
Poor guy.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Heng parked his truck in a corner outside the Southern faction’s shelter.
Through the window, Fang Heng looked at the defensive layout of the shelter from afar.
The Southern faction’s shelter was located at an abandoned factory.
He could vaguely see a few players patrolling the area.
“Fang Heng, there don’t seem to be many people inside. Are you ready to make your move?”
“Yes, let’s wait a little longer.”
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on controlling the group of Lickers.
Chi Chi Chi…
What was that sound?
Qin Ming heard a strange sound and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Look, they are here.”
Through the rearview mirror, Qin Ming’s face instantly turned extremely pale.
How could it be!!
Lickers?!
More than 20 Lickers caught up from the back of the truck and quickly rushed towards the Southern faction’s shelter not far away.
It was not a frontal assault. Instead, they took a detour from the side and avoided the frontal defenses at the periphery of the shelter.
“It’s the Lickers!!”
The player standing on the high ground immediately issued an alarm. Two players holding bows and arrows even aimed below and shot a few arrows.
Unfortunately, it had no effect at all!
The Licker had even inherited the effect of Fang Heng’s passive skills, ‘hegemony’. All attributes increased by 50%, HP increased by 100%!
Normal wooden arrows would not be able to pierce through the outermost layer of Licker’s skin!
More than 20 Lickers directly climbed around the wall of the building.
