Chapter 477 - Investigation  

“I can tell from your expression. The situation in District 7 doesn’t seem too good, right? ”

“What do you want to say? ”

“Of course, to offer cooperation. ”

Ji Qiubei’s round face didn’t seem aggressive at all, “To put it simply, we will help you get rid of Fang Heng. Of course, in order to help you, we need to set up a space stabilizing device in District 7. This is to help you and not for self-interest. You understand, right? ”

Kou Huai frowned. “This doesn’t conform to the rules. ”

Pfft.

Ji Qiubei covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud. “You look so funny when you are talking in shock. Who are we? Is there a need to be so pretentious? ”

Kou Huai stared at Ji Qiubei without saying a word.

“That’s enough. I don’t know about others, but you have sacrificed so much for the Federation. In the end? Just for this rigid rule, are you willing to watch District 7 fall into Fang Heng’s hands? ” Ji Qiubei moved closer and stared at Kou Huai. “Fang Heng doesn’t want District 7 at all. He only wants to destroy District 7, and you don’t care about the Federation. You only want District 7, right? ”

Kou Huai clenched his fists tightly.

“Don’t worry. After you’ve obtained the world, you’ll have the power in your hands. Based on the current advanced world game situation, the Federation won’t blame you for these things. They’ll only try their best to rope you in. Yes, just like Fang Heng. Let alone killing you once, even if he wiped out the entire District 7, there will still be a large number of idiots in the Federation who are afraid of death and will seek peace with Fang Heng. ”

As he spoke of the Federation, Ji Qiubei’s face was filled with disdain.

“The winner takes all. This has always been the case since ancient times. If you think about it carefully, you should know better than me. ”

Kou Huai took a deep breath.

“Don’t think about it. You already had a premonition, right? You will fail. You will be completely defeated by Fang Heng. After you fail, you will be abandoned by the Federation like a dog. You will have nothing all the same. My suggestion is very good. Why don’t you consider it? ”

Kou Huai raised his head. “No, I refuse. ”

“Hahahaha! Kou Huai! “Ji Qiubei laughed loudly. “I really didn’t expect that you would actually be so loyal to the Federation. However, I am willing to wait. ”

“There is no need to wait. I will not cooperate with Night Owl. ”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, don’t lie to yourself. Why haven’t you pressed the alarm yet? ”

In the blink of an eye, Ji Qiubei’s face returned to that of a Signal Corps soldier.

“I get it. You think you haven’t reached a dead end yet, right? It doesn’t matter. I can give you time. You can see yourself as a smart person for now, but you will eventually understand. ”

Kou Huai watched Ji Qiubei leave and leaned back in his chair.

His back was already soaked in sweat.

…

Late at night, in District 8.

Fang Heng returned to the prison headquarters through the large-scale space tearing device.

“Hint: you have returned to District 8. ”

“Hint: you have triggered the ending of District 8’s main storyline, Beautiful New World (click here to see the details) . ”

“Hint: there are eight hours left. The ranking of the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings in District 8 will be announced to the public soon. You can choose to spend an additional 100 main storyline contribution points to extend the announcement time by 24 hours. ”

“Hint: each time the announcement time is extended by 24 hours, the main storyline contribution points consumed will be double that of the previous announcement time. ”

“So this is the beginning of the debt collection… ”

Fang Heng took a deep breath in a low voice. He endured the pain and spent 300 main storyline contribution points extending the period for two days.

“Fang Heng, how do you feel? ”

Victor had brought some men to guard the teleportation passage in advance, preparing to repair the space tearing device. He noticed that Fang Heng’s expression was not too good.

“It’s not a big problem. It’s just a little heartache. ”

“Huh? ” Victor had a puzzled look on his face.

“Fang Heng, where’s the research materials? ” Qiu Yaokang came up with two researchers and interrupted their conversation. He stared at Fang Heng with a burning gaze. “I heard that the research in the parallel world was a great success. What’s the specific situation? What about the relevant research materials? Did you bring them back? ”

“Yes, the anti-virus vaccine produced a violent mutation after it was released. This is the live sample I brought back. ”

Fang Heng gave a rough explanation. He took out from his backpack the large metal box containing the live samples and handed them to Qiu Yaokang.

“Okay… ” Qiu Yaokang opened the box.

He saw rows of carefully labeled live sample collectors inside and nodded indiscernibly. “Well done. ”

“I’ll give you the research report in two hours, ” said Fang Heng. He had brought Ding Min’s report back to the real world in advance. He planned to use the warp backpack slot to transport materials back and forth.

After all, it was too troublesome to set up inter-server teleportation.

Fang Heng previously did not dare to bring the sample back to the real world, fearing he would accidentally spread the zombie virus in the real world.

When that time came, the Federation might really come after him.

“Hint: player has submitted 134 live samples to the shelter, triggering the new research project: Upgraded Anti-Virus Vaccine. Current project level: level 1. Current project progress: 0%. ”

“Okay, I’ll start developing the vaccine first. ” Qiu Yaokang nodded at Fang Heng, closed the big box, and turned to leave, looking very cold.

“Hey! Fang Heng! ” Mo Jiawei called out and walked over from the side.

As soon as he received the news about Plan Scorpio project the previous night, he immediately took action and gathered information about the project in District 7.

“It’s a headache. I can’t find any clues related to Plan Scorpio. I’ve sent people to investigate several times, and I’ve even spent money to hire several professional teams to ask for information, but I still can’t find any useful information. ”

Fang Heng’s heart sank as he mused, “District 8 hasn’t been opened long enough, and the missions related to the Plan Scorpio haven’t been triggered by any players, huh… The plan was perfect, but it’s a failure from the first step. ”

“I’ve already hired several small player teams to investigate, and there will be feedback every day. I’ve asked them to focus on investigating children with special abilities and the charities and orphanages under Meteorite Company… ” As he spoke, Mo Jiawei yawned. “I can’t do it, Fang Heng. I can’t hold on any longer. I’m going to sleep. ”

“Wait a moment. ” Fang Heng grabbed Mo Jiawei.

It would take too much time just to investigate. Every day he dragged on meant consuming a large amount of main storyline contribution points.

Fang Heng thought that he had to try metaphysics. “There’s something else I need your help with. It’ll be quick. ”

“Eh, what? ”

Fang Heng pulled Mo Jiawei to the side and opened the map of Zombie Apocalypse’s District 8. “Come, just randomly pick a location. ”

Mo Jiawei was stunned for a moment before he reacted. “Really, bro? You’re still playing around? This has nothing to do with luck. Let’s not play metaphysics. ”

“You’re the one who’s playing around. Zombie Apocalypse already has superpowers. Metaphysics should also be a type of superpower, right? It’ll probably be useful. ” Fang Heng was serious as he urged, “Hurry up and empty your mind. Just randomly pinpoint a location based on your feelings. The difficult task of saving the world will fall on you! ”

Ha!

Mo Jiawei sighed heavily with a bitter face.

Under Fang Heng’s expectant gaze, Mo Jiawei reached out his finger and circled a few times over the map.
