Research on living zombies?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and thought about the meaning behind Qiu Yaokang’s words.

Did he mean to capture them alive?

While Fang Heng was thinking, he heard Qiu Yaokang’s request.

“I need you to prove your ability. Go to the abandoned chemical factory and capture 10 mutated zombies for me.”

Qiu Yaokang thought for a moment and added, “I want them alive, and you only have 24 hours.”

[Hint: You have triggered the mission-Qiu Yaokang’s test]

Mission name: Qiu Yaokang’s test.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: To prove that you can provide Qiu Yaokang with a safe research environment and experimental materials, please obtain 10 living mutated zombies-poisonous zombies.

Time limit: 24 hours.

Penalty for failure: Qiu Yaokang’s friendliness will be greatly reduced.

“No problem, I don’t think it will take 24 hours at all.”

Fang Heng took a look at the mission.

In front of Qiu Yaokang, he took out all the remaining Tier 1 evolution crystals from his backpack.

If it was any other player, this mission would indeed be very difficult!

The poisonous zombie had the poisonous gas skill. Once it got close, players would breathe in the poisonous gas released by it, causing infection.

Not to mention catching it alive!

The difficulty was increased by several times!

However, Fang Heng was different.

He had his zombie clone!

“Bang!”

“Bang! Bang!”

One after another, the Tier 1 evolution crystals exploded in Fang Heng’s hands.

A scarlet mist hovered around Fang Heng’s palm and was gradually absorbed by his palm.

A row of game notifications quickly refreshed in the game log.

[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 11.]

[Hint: Affected by talent skill, you have gained 11 additional zombie clones.]

[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 12.]

[Hint: Affected by talent skill, you have gained 14 additional zombie clones.]

[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 13.]

[Hint: Affected by talent skill, you have gained 16 additional zombie clones.]

In an instant, magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng’s feet.

Under Qiu Yaokang’s surprised gaze, 41 zombie clones crawled out of the magic arrays in a short while.

More than half of the laboratory was filled with zombies.

“You…”

Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng in a daze.

Today, he had seen too many unbelievable things from Fang Heng

After a long while, he finally said, “Is this your natural ability?”

“Yes, isn’t it cool?”

“Now, I’m going to kidnap people. Do you want to come with me to take a look?”

“I promise, it’ll be quick.”

…

An hour and a half later, outside the chemical factory.

Qiu Yaokang watched as the poisonous zombies were dragged out of the abandoned chemical factory one by one by the zombie clones.

He was so shocked that he couldn’t speak for a long time.

“How is it? Not bad, right?”

Fang Heng walked over and patted Qiu Yaokang’s shoulder.

He thought, “Isn’t this a coincidence?”

Although the special skill of the poisonous zombie was troublesome, its attributes were at the bottom of all the mutated zombies.

Its poisonous gas skill did not affect the zombie clones.

Even if Fang Heng had just summoned a normal zombie that had not been infected by the corpse vines, he only needed to rely on the number of zombie clones, the high HP and the skill that could instantly recover 80% of one’s HP.

Fang Heng could use his zombie clones to surround the poisonous zombies without dealing damage to themselves, and then tie them up with a rope!

If the mission required him to catch other Tier 1 mutated zombies, such as spider zombies, it would be troublesome.

In that case, Fang Heng felt that a normal zombie clone would not be able to handle it.

He would need more time to go back to the prison and complete the mission with the vine zombie.

After all, the vine zombie’s vine entanglement skill was also an excellent way to capture zombies!

“This kind of mission is nothing. I have something even more powerful in my shelter. I can show you when we get back.”

Something even more powerful?

Qiu Yaokang, who was in a state of shock, turned around.

He looked at Fang Heng.

“Really?”

“Tsk, when have I ever lied to you? How about it? Can you follow me back to the shelter now?”

“I admit my loss, but I need some time to tidy up my laboratory. There are many things here that are specially made. I need to bring them back with me.”

Alright!

Fang Heng was overjoyed.

Not only did he swindle a high-value talent back, but he also got a whole bunch of lab equipment!

This business is going to make a killing!

“No problem. How long will it take? I’ll bring a vehicle tomorrow to help you move the goods?”

“Yes, thank you. We will settle with tomorrow morning.”

Qiu Yaokang said, turned around and headed back toward the direction of the villa.

[Hint: You have completed the mission ahead of schedule-Qiu Yaokang’s test.]

[Hint: Your friendship with Qiu Yaokang has slightly increased.]

[Hint: Qiu Yaokang has joined your shelter.]

[Hint: Due to your outstanding performance, Qiu Yaokang’s loyalty has increased.]

“What a cold guy…”

Fang Heng muttered to himself and excitedly opened the shelter panel to check Qiu Yaokang’s character attributes.

“This… I’ve found a treasure…”

Fang Heng could not close his mouth.

S+ evaluation!

It was two levels higher than Li Bo’s!

His various skills were also worthy of the S+ evaluation. They were extremely outstanding!

More importantly, Qiu Yaokang had awakened a special talent skill just like ordinary players!

In other words…

After Qiu Yaokang reached Level 10, could he also level up through the talent enhancement plan?

After all, other than the harsh conditions, Qiu Yaokang’s talent skill was like a cheat in terms of support effects!

He had to think of a way to help Qiu Yaokang obtain an S-level talent enhancement plan.

It would be best if he could greatly reduce the cooldown time of his skills.

The cooldown time now required half a year, it was too long!

Also, he had to think of a way to quickly increase his loyalty and to prevent him from escaping…

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

[Hint: Your game cabin has received an emergency warning. Please choose a safe place to log off as soon as possible.]

“Eh? Emergency warning for the game cabin?”

Fang Heng was surprised.

What was going on?

He had been in Phoenix Sound Gaming Company for so long, but he had never encountered such a situation.

Fang Heng frowned and waved his hand to signal the zombie clones to return to the prison shelter with the mutated zombies tied up.

“There might be trouble. I should go offline and take a look.”

Fang Heng thought and hurried back to Qiu Yaokang’s villa.
