Chapter 223 - Facing a Great Enemy

Chapter 223 Facing a Great Enemy

AEFC Gaming Company.

It used to be one of the top gaming companies in the world.

After a series of internal reforms, AEFC gained a firm foothold in the King of Gods’ game and occupied District 3.

At this moment, the meeting room was filled with the company’s executives.

A handsome young man stood in front of the projector. “The night before last, our shelter in the forest region was attacked. The next morning, Shelter No. 7, which was near the Twilight Mountains region, was also attacked by the same team.”

“Unfortunately, both shelters were destroyed.”

“Please take a look. This is a part of the video captured when the shelter was attacked.”

“It can be concluded that the attacker’s team is the most powerful elite Dark Knights combat team in the Zombie Apocalypse game. They are the highest-level mercenaries that can be hired in the game.”

“This team far exceeds us in terms of weapons, equipment and individual abilities.”

In the meeting room, the executives of various companies whispered to each other.

The scene on the screen was shocking.

The elite Dark Knights’ team wielded more power and was able to suppress their opponents with their high-tiered weapons and long-range firepower.

The player from the shelter had just poked his head out from behind the cover and the next second, the enemy would snipe him from afar.

What could they use to fight back?

Wooden bow?

Their entire shelter only had two pistols and more than a dozen bullets.

“Which company can form such a small team?”

“If the player can have the combat power of the Dark Knights in the early stages, it is indeed impossible to resist their attacks.”

“The gap in terms of equipment is too big. It is not strange to lose.”

“Is there a need? The game is only in the early stages and they are already starting to expand…”

Meng Hao controlled the video to freeze on a certain frame, zooming in on a blurry shadow.

“Everyone, please take a look at this.”

Seeing the ferocious Licker on the screen, the company’s higher-ups were once again in an uproar.

“What is that thing?”

“Licker?”

“Why would a Licker appear on the battlefield?”

Meng Hao nodded and said, “Yes, it’s a Licker.”

“This team of Dark Knights is not only equipped with excellent weapons, but they can also control a small number of Lickers to assist in battle.”

“After the fall of the shelter, we immediately investigated the origin of this team.”

“Now we can confirm that they are from the forest area prison shelter team.”

“Using the name on the Internet, we will temporarily call them ‘Prison Army’.”

As Meng Hao spoke, he switched the screen.

A personal photo of Fang Heng appeared on the screen.

In the photo, Fang Heng looked quite proud and aloof.

“This is the person behind the prison, Fang Heng.”

“Let me introduce him briefly. Player Fang Heng once joined a local professional gaming team. Later, he was found to have some problems and was expelled from the team.”

H11C

“Some time ago, Fang Heng joined Phoenix Sound Gaming Company. Later, due to internal disputes, he voluntarily resigned.”

“According to the information that Phoenix Sound received, Fang Heng is an extremely dangerous character. He has caused great losses to the gaming company.”

“After leaving the company, Fang Heng set up his own studio. I heard that his studio has been working closely with the Federation. Not long after that, he joined the Federation’s Blood Moon Project.”

Meng Hao’s tone gradually became heavy.

“All things considered, I believe that the prison will be the biggest competitor our company will face in the near future!”

“In terms of military strength, if we were to fight him head-on…”

“We have no chance of winning.”

There was an uproar within the company.

“Quiet.”

An old man with a white beard who was more than a hundred years old gently knocked on the table.

Chen Jun.

He was one of the company’s founding members and had witnessed the ups and downs of the company. He was an authoritative figure and had a say in the entire company.

“How about cooperating with him? Have you contacted Fang Heng?”

“Mr Chen.”

Meng Hao respectfully nodded at the old man.

“We have tried to contact Fang Heng’s newly established work studio. The other party has indicated that they will seek instructions from the boss, Fang Heng. However, there has been no follow-up so far.”

“Nonetheless, judging from the actions of Fang Heng’s team for the past two days, they have no intention of cooperating with external parties.” “Everywhere they go, they negotiate first and offer compensation to ask other players to leave.”

“If the other players don’t agree, they will immediately go to war with them. They are very resolute and decisive in their actions.”

“In addition, this team has the ability to move at night. They are advancing too fast.”

“The most critical point is that based on the rate they are expanding the prison area, they are expected to expand to our central district, Meng City, at 11 o’clock tomorrow night.”

The meeting room was dead silent.

Meng City.

This was the central focus of their plan!

About ten years ago, the company took control of the entire server in District 3.

They accidentally discovered a special hidden mission.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the mission could not be completed in the district.

From then on, AEFC had already started planning

Their target was District 8, which they did not know when it would open.

The AEFC Gaming Company was confident that once they completed this mission, they had over 50% certainty that District 8 would also be theirs.

The company had been preparing for this mission for more than ten years!

Finally, just a month ago, Server 8 opened.

The gaming company immediately found the mission point, Meng City, and started a series of shelter construction with Meng City as the centre.

Ten years ago, AEFC Company had started the layout.

Everything was going according to the original plan.

AEFC Gaming Company had already built more than twenty small shelters around Meng City as ‘outposts’.

After that, they would accumulate strength during the first Blood Moon and start expanding ahead of time after the third Blood Moon.

However, they did not expect that before the first Blood Moon had even started, they were already at risk of others expanding their territory.

Amidst the silence, a middle-aged man who looked fierce suggested, “Have you ever thought of hiring people to disrupt their momentum?”

“How about hiring a mercenary group and paying mercenaries and players to attack this small team?”

“We’ve already tried to contact several well-known mercenary groups and player guilds, including the Blackthorn Mercenary Group, which is the strongest in the elementary game.” “The mission reward we offered is three times the market price.”

“In the end, only two mercenary groups accepted our offer, but they quickly cancelled the order and paid the liquidated damages after conducting a field investigation.”

“As for the Blackthorn Mercenary Group…”

Meng Hao looked at the middle-aged man and paused, then he continued, “After they heard the contents of the mission, they said that they would not accept any missions related to the prison. They also advised us to consider developing in another place and not to provoke that prison.”

Everyone fell into silence again.

In terms of combat ability, the Blackthorn Mercenary Group was the best in the elementary game.

Even they were so afraid of the prison…

“In a head-on confrontation, the success rate of winning is infinitely close to zero.”

“We have done at least twenty battle assessments and simulations. Once we are attacked by that team, the best outcome is that the other side will be slightly injured and our shelter will be destroyed.”

“This is a crisis. If we don’t deal with it properly, the Meng City Project will be completely destroyed by the Prison Army, and the hidden mission that we triggered will be exposed.”

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

No one expected that there would be a point in time where the project that their company had been planning for more than ten years would be in a life-and-death situation.
