Chapter 371 - Disadvantaged  

“Ruoruo, the head of the Xiao family happens to be out of town these two days. He won’t be back until two days later. ”

“Mr. Sun, here. This is the present I brought for you when I went on a trip to the capital last week. These are for Mdm. Zhang, Mr. Li, and Mdm. Chen. ”

Xiao Ruoruo handed over a few beautifully wrapped gifts with both hands.

“Ruoruo, you’re too kind. I’ll have Mdm. Zhang cook something delicious for you tonight. ”

“Thank you, Mr. Sun. I’m craving steamed chicken. ”

“Okay. I’ll take you to the guest room first. ”

Butler Sun liked Xiao Ruoruo very much. He led her to the guest room to rest.

“Hmm? Mr. Sun, am I not staying in Room No. 3 this time? ”

“The guest room on the east side is occupied. It’s not appropriate for men and women to live in proximity. This time, I’ve arranged for you to stay in the guest room on the west side. ”

“Huh? Are there other guests? ”

“Yes, it is the family head’s guest and also a friend of Mr. Mo Jiawei. ”

“Mr. Mo? ”

Xiao Ruoruo was a little surprised.

She and Mo Jiawei had played together since they were young.

She remembered that Mo Jiawei loved to play, but he almost never brought his friends to his house.

“But, why would Mr.Mo’s friend be staying here? ”

Xiao Ruoruo’s eyes lit up, and she asked, “Is he here to borrow books like me? ”

“Yes, Mr. Fang has been staying here for quite some time. ”

“Oh. Is he learning Occult as well? Can I ask him for advice? ”

“Well… I think it’s better not to. ”

Butler Sun pondered for a moment and sighed silently in his heart. Exasperated, he thought, “It’s better not to ask Fang Heng for advice and learn stuff you shouldn’t. ”

“We’re here, Ruoruo. This is Room No. 8. ”

Bringing Xiao Ruoruo into the room, Butler Sun unconsciously frowned.

There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window by the side of the garden in the room. Originally, they would have been able to see the small bridge and flowing water in the garden through the window.

But now, they could only see piles of broken stones beside the small bridge and flowing water.

It was a failed surprise.

“This is… ”

Xiao Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and she covered her mouth in surprise.

Butler Sun felt his head throb.

“Ruo Ruo, sorry that you had to see this. These stones were temporarily stored there by the guest in Room No. 2. He said that they were of high value. I’ve already told him that I will soon send someone to move these broken stones away. ”

“Butler Sun, are you serious? ”

Xiao Ruoruo’s gaze stopped on those so-called broken stones.

“Those aren’t broken stones. Those are all raw blue crystal ores. ”

“Huh? What ores? ”

Xiao Ruoruo uttered with a hint of excitement in her voice, “In Occult, raw blue crystal ores contain natural energy. They’re very rare. Although they don’t contain much natural energy, they have a very high research value. ”

Butler Sun was at a loss. He saw that Xiao Ruoruo’s little face was red.

“Oh, I forgot. Mr. Sun doesn’t know Occult. I’ll go over and take a look. ”

Xiao Ruoruo hadn’t seen the raw blue crystal ores with her own eyes. She ran straight to the back garden.

Butler Sun was confused. He didn’t understand young people nowadays.

“No Way. Could it really be some precious ore? ” he thought.

…

At 10:30 p.m., a great battle broke out in District Five.

Vampires invaded!

In the command room of Zombie Apocalypse District 5, the federation players were in a terrible state.

Urgent reports were made one after another to Qian Yuan.

“Reporting! Shelter No. 1 has been attacked by a large number of vampires! ”

“Reporting! Shelters No. 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have been attacked by vampires! ”

“Reporting! Shelter No. 1 has sent a request for help. It can last another 20 minutes at most. ”

In the game, reports of various shelters being attacked kept ringing out.

One bad news after another caused the atmosphere in the hall to drop to a freezing point.

Qian Yuan’s face was extremely gloomy.

Request for help?

Where to ask for help?

Could it be to ask for help in the high-dimensional game?

They could only rely on themselves in the Invasion War of the world.

However, as the chief commander, Qian Yuan could not say such words to hurt the team’s morale.

“Tell the people of Shelter No. 1 to retreat. The reinforcements from the western region, the northern region, and the southern region are already on their way. Hold up against this wave and counterattack tomorrow morning. ”

They relied on the other three regions to replenish their player forces, and the reinforcements from the vampires were also pouring into the battlefield.

However, Qian Yuan knew very well that fighting on home ground guaranteed victory of the Federation.

The Federation could not afford to lose.

If they failed, the entire District 5 would fall into the hands of the anti-federation forces.

Qian Yuan thought that the only chance to kill was in the time passage.

As long as they could destroy the time passage, the backup troops of the vampires would not be able to reach the battlefield.

Qian Yuan had already made a plan in the first instance. All the elite teams in District 5 of the Federation had been sent out to destroy the time passage.

Destroying the passage was key to victory.

Meanwhile, inside the main control room of District 5’s research institute, the time passage was still in operation.

An endless stream of low-level vampires entered District 5 through the teleportation passage and headed to the battlefield on the front line.

Fang Heng stood in front of the command station. He seemed to be observing the situation outside, but in fact, he was using the game log to control the zombie team.

The ventilation duct inside the research institute was directly connected to the sewer.

The sewer was connected to the outside of the research institute.

Even though Night Owl had already set up a defense and sealed a few connecting points in advance, it didn’t make things difficult for Fang Heng.

He spent some time getting the zombie clones to dig at the sealed passages again.

Outside, Night Owl and the federal forces were fighting for their lives. They didn’t have the time to bother with the small zombie team that was staggering toward the sewer under the night sky.

Ever since Fang Heng saw the Tyrant form cultivation pods in the sixth basement a few hours ago, he grew greedy.

There were a total of 42 Tyrant form cultivation pods. Taking that into consideration, he didn’t have enough vine zombies.

From the morning until now, it took more than ten hours for the vine zombies to reach the sewer.

Next, Fang Heng had them enter the ventilation duct through the sewer, climb to the second floor to get tools, and then climb back to the sixth basement.

Fang Heng was controlling the zombie team from a distance when he suddenly sense something.

Fang Heng turned around and looked toward the time passage, narrowing his eyes.

He could feel that the approaching vampires were stronger than the low-level vampires from before.

“Mid-level vampires… ” Fang Heng muttered to himself.

The time passage began to stabilize after running for a while.

The mid-level vampires also began to pass through the passage.

Fang Heng looked away and lowered his head to observe the situation outside through the surveillance monitors.

Outside the shelter, the Night Owl organization had already fought with the Federation elites.

The weapons and equipment of the Federation were more advanced, and their players’ physiques were better.

However, Sikong Mao’s side had long been prepared for battle. They had the geographical advantage of the research institute being behind them. Besides, it was nighttime, adding to the Federation’s disadvantage.

The battle had entered its climax.

However, Fang Heng was well-aware of the situation.

The Federation did not bring about any real threat to the research institute, and Sikong Mao had not even revealed his trump card.

However, at the very least, the Federation had given Sikong Mao a certain amount of pressure, forcing him to direct his attention away from inside the research institute.

It was time to make a move!
