Chapter 290 - Praising

“What? You’ve been together with him for so long, and there’s no progress at all?”

Qiao Ling was surprised and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

“Sister’s figure is so good, but Fang Heng can withstand it? That’s impossible…”

Lucia also felt wronged. She lowered her head and silently used the whetstone to sharpen her short dagger.

Qiao Ling suddenly thought of something and looked at Lucia with sympathy.

“Sister, Fang Heng isn’t… from Nantong University’s School of Infrastructure, is he?”

“Huh? What?”

Lucia looked up, her face full of bafflement. She didn’t understand what Qiao Ling was saying.

“Sister Lucia, didn’t you notice that the relationship between Colonel Fang Heng and First Lieutenant Mo Jiawei is not so simple?”

Qiao Ling explained in a serious tone, “It seems that they are always together during every operation, right? Do you think… they are?”

“Ah? The two of them?”

Qiao Ling nodded crazily.

“Something’s wrong!”

Lucia kept silent, lowered her head and continued to sharpen her knife.

Her sharp and cold eyes were reflected on the shiny blade.

“Don’t give up! Sister is so charming. Even a gay can be straightened by you!”

“Oh right, I spent a lot of effort to find the tea ceremony last time. Did you see it?”

“Does it work? I tried it last time, but it didn’t work well.”

“Yes, yes! It works! You have to persevere! Sister Lucia!”

Qiao Ling nodded, “Just like what I said last time, a man is a creature that likes to be worshipped. Praise him, praise him fiercely! I don’t believe that he can control himself!”

Lucia nodded and muttered to herself, “Praise him fiercely, praise him fiercely…”

David walked in.

“Lucia, Colonel Fang Heng just came to look for me. He looked very anxious and said that he needs your help. Do you have time to go find him? He just left.”

Hearing Fang Heng’s name, Lucia suddenly stood up and clenched the dagger in her hand.

“Okay! I’ll go over now!”

Qiao Ling waved at Lucia, “Sister Lucia! Good luck! Remember! Praise fiercely!”

…

“Sir, we have already compared some of the images we have captured with the database.”

“Most of the players who appeared in the cave are often active in the black market.”

“We have confirmed that the Night Owl organization hired these players behind the scenes. We suspect that they are excavating inside the iron mine. The target may be a special crystallized creature.”

Zhang Zhe did not speak. He carefully flipped through the files in his hands.

He had experienced a similar mission in the old district.

The crystallized creature and main storyline mission had a lot of relevance, but this mission was not important.

It was equivalent to a relatively late-stage side mission.

Completing the mission could increase the completion rate of the main storyline and change the direction of the outcome.

The prerequisite was that the player needed to complete the main storyline mission!

If the main storyline mission could not be completed, then no matter how many side missions there were, it would be a waste.

The mission difficulty was quite high. For the Federation, now was not the best time to trigger the mission.

In addition, the crystal ore related to the mission was also very valuable for mining.

That was the raw ore of the late-stage high-level energy crystal!

However, the extraction and synthesis of the high-level energy crystal were very complicated, and it was also very troublesome to gather, so it was not needed in the early stages…

For various reasons, the Federation was unable to take out so much manpower and material resources in the early stages to mine ore resources that were not needed for at least half a year.

However, the Federation was also very clear about the importance of the blue crystal ore, which was why they had chosen to establish a shelter in the nearby desert area and send people to guard the crystal mine area.

Zhang Zhe did not expect Night Owl to make a move so quickly, and it was aimed at the crystal mine.

“Sir, the reserve fighters have already gathered in the shelter and are on standby. They are ready to attack at any time and capture all the members of the Night Owl organization who participated in this operation.”

“No, wait a little longer.”

“Do we still have to wait?” The vice-captain of the temporary combat team, Tang Chu, frowned slightly. “Sir, if we wait any longer, will there be any accidents? If the ore is collected by Night Owl in advance or destroyed…”

“There’s no rush. Crystal ores are different from ordinary ores.”

“Different?”

Zhang Zhe shook his head and did not answer.

He did not feel like explaining to these people, nor did he want to explain to them.

As it involved part of the main storyline mission, once he explained, his King of Gods’ points and personal survival points would be deducted.

The more information was leaked, the greater the deduction. After deducting his points, they would deduct his basic attributes.

No one could withstand such a punishment.

A Federation soldier knocked on the door and walked into the room.

“Captain, it’s an emergency. The investigation team found a large number of zombies moving along Highway No. 702. There are about 400 to 500 of them.”

Tang Chu frowned and looked at Zhang Zhe.

At this time? Could it be related to the Night Owl organization?

Zhang Zhe immediately put down the file in his hand.

“Take me there to have a look!”

Everyone quickly came to the sentry towers.

Zhang Zhe took the binoculars and looked at the highway.

On the road, a large group of zombies were huddled together, staggering along the road.

“Their target is not the shelter.”

Noticing that the target of this wave of wandering zombies was not the shelter, Tang Chu heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhe frowned.

He felt that there was something wrong with this wave of zombies!

However, he couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong.

On the surface, everything looked normal.

A Federation soldier said, “It should be a random zombie tide. It will disperse soon. If we don’t provoke it, we won’t be attacked.”

“Sir, should we call our people back?”

“No, we don’t need to. Send a few more people to follow them. Ask them to check the crystal mine again.”

Zhang Zhe was a little uneasy. He decided to send a few people to follow them to take a look.

“Yes!”

The Federation soldier saluted and was about to go downstairs to pass on the order.

“Sir, sir…” At the side, a recruit’s lips trembled. “Look over there, what’s That?”

Everyone followed the recruit’s gaze and looked into the distance.

A faint red colour appeared on the horizon.

The red colour gradually formed a line.

Zhang Zhe’s pupils constricted.

Lickers?!

Hundreds of Lickers gathered together and quickly swept across the road!

From afar, it looked like a red wave.

They were heading straight for the shelter!

The players on the sentry tower felt their scalps go numb.

So many Lickers?!

Several thoughts flashed through Zhang Zhe’s mind.

Were the Lickers controlled by the Night Owl organization?

They were heading for the shelter?

Why?

Was this part of Night Owl’s plan?

Night Owl’s goal was the shelter? Then what was the situation at the crystal mine?

“Not good! They’re heading towards the shelter!”

Tang Chu was the first to react. He immediately turned around and gave the Federation soldier an order.

“Sound Level 1 alarm! All players enter combat mode. Summon all reserve players to come online immediately.”

“Everyone gather and prepare for battle!”
