Chapter 97 - Flashbang

“This is troublesome!”

“I didn’t expect it to be a Licker.”

Fang Heng thought to himself. He finally understood.

No wonder there were no ordinary zombies here.

Lickers would eat ordinary zombies when they were hungry to obtain nutrients.

Fang Heng turned his head and looked at Chen Yu, who had just stood up.

Chen Yu was still scared, so he nodded at Fang Heng.

The two of them tacitly did not speak.

For some reason, after the Lickers had completed their evolution, their visual nerves had completely degenerated and lost their function.

However, correspondingly, the Lickers’ tactile and auditory nerves far surpassed that of ordinary animals.

They were extremely sensitive to sound!

The gunshot just now should have attracted many Lickers over.

They couldn’t stay here for long, they had to evacuate as soon as possible!

Chen Yu pointed at the entrance that led to the prison area not far away, then quickly made a few gestures to the team members.

He signalled the team to try not to make a sound, then quickly retreat!

Survival was more important, quickly retreat!

Fang Heng also didn’t dare to stay any longer.

Dealing with one Licker was already scary enough. If two or three Lickers were to appear at the same time, their entire team would probably have to die here.

The team carefully retreated to the first floor.

What they were afraid of came true. From upstairs, the sound of friction could be heard rapidly approaching.

Fang Heng’s passive perception once again gave him a premonition of extreme danger!

“Quick! Run!”

Fang Heng shouted.

He was sure that a large number of Lickers upstairs had caught up to him.

There was no point in continuing to remain silent!

When the team members heard Fang Heng’s shout, they immediately sprinted along the road they had come from!

Behind them, the sounds of friction coming from the pursuers were getting closer and closer.

Fang Heng’s agility attribute was twice that of an ordinary player, and his running speed was also slightly faster than the other team members.

He was far ahead of the other players and was the first to run to the prison’s entrance. He turned his head and looked behind him.

Nearly a dozen red Lickers were sticking close to the wall and quickly chasing after the federation players.

Fang Heng switched pistols and aimed at the Lickers, trying to slow them down.

“Bang! Bang Bang!”

The Lickers were extremely agile. They relied on their high-speed movement to dodge the bullets.

Fang Heng finished firing a round of bullets, and 60-70% of them missed.

Seeing that the last federation player at the rear was about to be caught up, Chen Yu turned his head and threw a blue flashbang backwards.

“Buzz…”

Ear-piercing ringing sounds accompanied by intense flashes of light exploded within the group of Lickers.

Fang Heng practically lowered his head and closed his eyes.

The flashbang model that Chen Yu threw quickly appeared in his mind.

GNT-200 flashbang!

Manufacturer-Meteorite Company!

When detonated, it could not only emit a strong light, but also release high frequency sound waves.

The sound waves would affect the Lickers’ hearing for some time.

Rich federation!

Just this flashbang alone cost 75 King of Gods’ points to purchase.

Affected by the high frequency sound waves of the flashbang, the Lickers stood rooted to the spot.

Taking advantage of the Lickers’ inability to move, the federal team quickly left the warehouse.

“Bang!”

The door was tightly shut. A few federal team members rushed up and cooperated to once again wrap the door with iron chains.

“Bang! Bang Bang! Bang!”

The Lickers were still unwilling to give up. From within the prison, the continuous sound of the door knocking could be heard.

The members of the federal team had cold sweat all over their foreheads. One after another, they raised their pistols and aimed at the door.

Fortunately, the prison door was hard enough.

After a while, the banging sound finally faded away.

“Phew!”

The members of the team let out a sigh of relief. They put down their pistols and relaxed for the time being.

Fang Heng still had a frown on his face.

He didn’t expect the difficulty of this mission to be so high.

The Tier 2 mutated zombies were already very difficult to deal with, but the Lickers they encountered were the most difficult to deal with!

Fang Heng didn’t remember to count carefully just now. He roughly estimated that there were at least ten Lickers!

“Our mission is going to be troublesome. The Lickers are too powerful. It’s too difficult to deal with them at this stage.”

Chen Yu panted heavily and walked over to discuss with Fang Heng.

Even now, his heart was still pounding furiously.

“Their movement speed is too fast. Not to mention using a crossbow, even if we use a gun, our accuracy is very low. If we want to complete the mission, we have to think of another way.”

“Okay.”

Fang Heng leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought.

Of course, he understood what Chen Yu was saying.

He had just personally experienced using a pistol to attack the Licker.

Even if he had 15 points of high perception, he could only hit 5 out of 15 bullets.

Moreover, the damage dealt by the pistol to the Licker wasn’t high. A few simple attacks wouldn’t be able to deal fatal damage to it.

Against the Licker, the vine zombie was no match for it.

The Licker’s powerful strength attribute allowed it to directly use the vine zombie’s entanglement skill.

Fang Heng closed his eyes and quickly recalled the Licker’s weakness.

Chen Yu also felt a headache coming on. The difficulty of this mission was much more difficult than what was recorded in the original information of the federation!

At this stage, it was impossible for a player to deal with so many Lickers.

It was the same for the federation.

How could he persuade Fang Heng to give up this mission?

Chen Yu thought for a moment and persuaded, “Fang Heng, why don’t we give up? After some time, when our weapons and equipment are ready…”

Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

“The Lickers’ visual nerves have deteriorated. They rely on their strong hearing to determine their location. We can think of a way to make use of this.”

“Oh?”

Chen Yu was stunned again.

He thought along with Fang Heng’s words and his eyes lit up.

“I understand. Are you saying that we should try our best not to make any noise and sneak into the gun room on the second floor to get the magnetic card without being discovered by the Lickers?”

Fang Heng waved his hand.

“Don’t even think about it. It’s the game’s usual routine. The door to the second floor gun room is most likely locked from the inside.”

“If we want to go in, we will have to break the door. The sound of breaking the door will attract the lickers. This is a dead end.”

“Uh…”

Chen Yu was at a loss for words.

He felt that what Fang Heng said made a lot of sense.

“Unfortunately, the higher-ups only have one flashbang for emergency use. We just used it up. Why don’t I go back and request for two more from the higher-ups?”

“We can take advantage of the short-term stun caused by the flashbang to buy time and take the magnetic card from the gun room on the second floor.”

Chen Yu felt that this was the most likely way to complete the mission.

He did not expect Fang Heng to decisively reject it once again.

“No, it will take too long to apply to the federation. It will take at least two to three days to go back and forth. Moreover, whether the federation approves it or not is another matter. The effects of the two flashbangs are limited and the risk is too great.”

Hearing what Fang Heng said, Chen Yu was a little speechless.

Even if he knew that there were a large number of Lickers in Prison No. 1, would he still think that two to three days was too slow?

Two to three days? He would be thankful if he could complete the mission!

The members of the federal team who were listening to the conversation between the two big shots at the side all had the same thoughts.

They could not figure out Fang Heng’s train of thought.

Fang Heng stroked his chin as if there was no one else around, thinking carefully.

He slowly took a few steps back and turned his head to look at the ‘hills’ of logs in the prison square.

A plan gradually formed in Fang Heng’s mind.
