n
n
n
nWu Siying frowned.
n
nShe really could not understand what kind of backup plan Fang Heng had.
n
nIn the face of the Federation’s absolute strength, all resistance was futile.
n
n“The game has begun, ” Fang Heng said as he threw away the Oreo biscuit in his hand.
n
nIn the dense forest behind him, eight fusion Tyrant forms and hundreds of Lickers were ready to make a move.
n
nThe federal team drove their combat trucks on the main road. In the middle of the team, there were even dozens of high-tier armored tanks.
n
nThere were also helicopters in the air to scout and provide support.
n
nFang Heng raised his binoculars and looked ahead.
n
nHe saw that the Federation team even had the Dark Knights with them.
n
nLiang Hucheng was relatively more familiar with the terrain of Edge Creek Town.
n
nFor the current operation, he was appointed by Kou Huai as the leader of the vanguard exploration team. He personally led three teams to open the path at the front to investigate any ambushes they might encounter along the way.
n
nLiang Hucheng had always been very cautious.
n
n“Wait! ” Halfway through the journey, Liang Hucheng keenly noticed something and extended his hand to signal for the team to temporarily stop in their tracks.
n
nUnder the soil on both sides of the road, withered white palms extended upward.
n
nWoo…
n
nAlong with the moaning of the zombies, the soil rolled, and the resurrected zombies struggled to climb out of the soil.
n
nBang, bang, bang!
n
nLiang Hucheng’s federal team behind immediately pulled the trigger, and the powerful firepower was aimed at the zombie team.
n
nIn almost an instant, the zombie team that emerged from the ground was completely killed.
n
nLiang Hucheng heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that he was too tense.
n
nIt was just a coincidence that they encountered a small-scale zombie wave.
n
nJust as they were about to continue their journey, Liang Hucheng heard a player shout, “Captain! Look over there. ”
n
nHearing that, Liang Hucheng immediately looked in the direction that his subordinate pointed.
n
nThe soil on both sides of the road in front of them also began to churn. A dense mass of greenish-gray palms stretched out from the churning soil.
n
nThe gathered zombie team had already strolled onto the main road.
n
nLiang Hucheng began to feel that something was a little strange, thinking, “Two consecutive zombie waves? Could it be that the probability of triggering the zombie wave increased because there are too many players gathered? ”
n
nBang, bang, bang, bang!
n
nThe Federation elites pulled the trigger again.
n
nAfter a series of bullets were fired, the gunshots paused.
n
nWhile the player switched their magazines, another zombie team wave emerged from the soil on both sides of the road.
n
nThe resurrected zombie teams seemed to be endless.
n
nLiang Hucheng’s brows were tightly knitted together.
n
nHe realized that the trouble had just begun.
n
nJust then, a player shouted, “Look over there! There’s more over there! ”
n
nAnother shouted, “And over there! ”
n
n“Why are there so many of them? ” Liang Hucheng’s expression changed slightly.
n
nSomething was wrong!
n
nZombies were resurrecting not just in front of the federal team but also on both sides of the road behind them.
n
nThe speed and range of the zombies’ resurrection were rapidly expanding!
n
nLiang Hucheng suddenly had a bad feeling.
n
nHe thought, “Is it just a coincidence? Or is it an ambush by the Scavenger Army? ”
n
nThen, recalling the giant-sized zombie wave that broke out in the center of the Western region the day before, he mused, “No! Damn it! It could be the same giant-sized zombie wave! We’re definitely in trouble! ”
n
nLiang Hucheng then decisively shouted, “Stop the operation for now! Set up a defensive line on the spot and report the situation to the commander immediately! ”
n
n“Yes! ”
n
nBehind the federal team, Kou Huai also heard the gunshots coming from the front.
n
nThe increasingly dense gunshots made him feel frustrated.
n
n“Reporting to the commander! A zombie wave has been discovered in the area ahead! ”
n
n“A zombie wave? ” Kou Huai was confused.
n
nHe mused, “Why are they taking so long to clean up a mere zombie wave? GIven the current strength of our team, it should be an easy feat. ”
n
nThe Signal Corps soldier didn’t know how to explain the situation in front of them, either. “Sir, the zombie wave is expanding. The front scouting team has fallen into the range of the zombie wave. There are still a lot of zombies resurrecting from underground! ”
n
nWhile they were talking, gunshots were heard around them.
n
nKou Huai looked out of the window.
n
nA dense zombie team emerged from the bushes on both sides of the road and rushed toward the main road.
n
nKou Huai narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Changle, who was in charge of the intelligence department. “What’s going on? ”
n
nXiao Changle’s face froze. “How would I know? I’ve never seen such a scene before! ”
n
nAhem.
n
nFacing Kou Huai’s murderous gaze, Xiao Changle coughed and pretended to be calm. “Sir, in theory, it should be because we have too many people, which triggered the random high-level zombie wave in the game. The strength of the zombies is not high. For safety reasons, I suggest that we clean up the zombie wave before we take action, ”
n
nKou Huai ordered, “Pass on my order to set up a defensive line on the spot. We will take action after we clean up the zombie wave. ”
n
n“Yes, Sir! ” replied Xiao Changle.
n
nKou Huai glared at Xiao Changle.
n
nThe gunshots that had been ringing in his ears contributed to Kou Huai’s growing frustration.
n
nLess than two minutes later, the Signal Corps soldier hurried over again. “Sir, according to the information we got from the helicopter, the zombie wave… ” Looking bewildered, he continued, “The zombie wave is continuously spreading! ”
n
n“This… ” Xiao Changle frowned and mumbled to himself, “This is not right. Theoretically, the zombie wave will not spread… ”
n
nFang Heng!
n
nKou Huai’s heart sank.
n
nHe immediately realized that the present zombie wave was abnormal.
n
nIt was very likely that Fang Heng was sabotaging them! Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
n
n“Report the strength of the zombie wave. ”
n
n“Other than the abnormally huge range, the zombie waves are mostly normal. Most of them are composed of normal zombies. There is a small number of Tier 1 zombies, with a handful of Tier 2 mutated zombies. ”
n
nKou Huai sneered in his heart upon hearing the report.
n
nIn order to completely wipe out the Scavenger Army, they had brought enough resources to complete a round of war of attrition!
n
n“Pass down the order. Assume formation on the spot and kill as many as possible! ”
n
n“Understood! ”
n
nThe federal team immediately formed a line at their original spot and began to defend against the zombie wave.
n
nIn the distance, on the hillside.
n
nSeeing that the federal team didn’t choose to retreat but to defend on the spot, Fang Heng showed a knowing expression.
n
nHe knew that Kou Huai wouldn’t give up so easily.
n
nIf Kou Huai and the others had chosen to obediently retreat, he wouldn’t have known how to react.
n
nBut once the Federation chose to stay on the spot and defend for a while, then they would be dragged into the quagmire by the mutated zombie wave that was constantly spawning!
n
n“Fang Heng. ”
n
nWu Siying looked at the federal team that was surrounded by the zombie horde below and asked, “How did you do it? ”
n
n“It’s a secret. ”
n
n“It’s impossible to resist the Federation with these zombies alone. ”
n
n“Don’t worry. Just wait and see. ”
n
nAs the two of them were talking, Zhong Lei drove a motorcycle from afar and stopped in front of Fang Heng.
n
nHe glanced at Wu Siying beside him and whispered into Fang Heng’s ear, “Boss, it’s done. Those left in the sewer have retreated ahead of time. ”
n
n“Well, thank you for your hard work. ”
n
nIn Fang Heng’s vision, rows of game hints refreshed rapidly.
n
n“Warning: your team is continuously releasing highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine. ”
n
n“Warning: the highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine is extremely unstable and is undergoing mutation. ”
n
n“Hint (based on low-level game difficulty) : you can try to obtain information on the mutation to increase the controllability of the vaccine. ”
n
n“Hint: current zone mutation rate: 5.42% , zone purification rate: 0.23% . ”
