Chapter 821 - Assemble

“The first and second batch of companies that we are working with have already arrived at the primeval forest region a week ago. If it’s convenient, we can start at any time. I wonder when you will be able to bring your people to the primeval forest?”

Alba said as he gestured to his assistant beside him. “If you need any other assistance during the process, you can contact my assistant.”

“Thank you. There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll buy a safe area from Raptor Company near the mission assembly point.”

It would be too troublesome to let the Lickers mass suicide again and wait for the proliferators to appear.

He might as well spend his contribution points to buy a safe area from the Raptor Company.

That way, he could use the teleportation passage in the safe area to send the Lickers there.

After all, it was a primeval forest. Perhaps there were some rare ores there?

When the time came, he could also dig them and bring them back.

This round of investment might not necessarily be a loss.

“Ah? What? Buy one?”

Alba was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Good heavens, buying just like that? Such big words?

Or did he say it in front of him on purpose?

Was he deliberately showing off his strength?

Alba quickly adjusted his emotions. He realized that after coming here, his emotions were unconsciously guided by Fang Heng.

He increasingly felt that Fang Heng was somewhat unfathomable.

“Alright, I’ll take my leave first. Contact me when you reach the primeval forest region.”

“Alright.”

After watching Alba and the people from the Federation leave, Mo Jiawei asked, “Fang Heng, are we going to have connections with the Federation? There won’t be any trouble, right?”

“It’s just a collaboration. There won’t be much of a problem. The Federation’s main storyline mission isn’t important. The main reason we’re going over this time is to think of ways to get more high energy evolution crystals.”

Mo Jiawei nodded. “Alright, as long as you know what you are doing.”

Fang Heng rubbed his wrist.

It just so happened that the fallen corridor had been absorbing the aura of death for the past two days, so he could take a breather and enter the game.

Taking advantage of this time, he would go to the primeval forest region to grind for a large wave of monsters.

His character’s level had to be raised, and so must the level of the space tearing device!

…

At noon the next day, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei arrived at the Federation’s designated assembly point at the periphery of the primeval forest region.

There were many player teams coming and going to the gathering point region.

The Federation had established a large camp here. The camp could provide a small amount of protection for the players.

The approximate location of this mission was only known to be inside the primeval forest.

Due to the vast area of the forest, it was extremely difficult to search for the missing research team in such a large area.

After receiving the mission, the Federation chose to work alone.

After trying hard for a long time, they finally realized that they were not strong enough when they saw that the time limit for the mission was about to arrive. Hence, they decided to swallow their pride, be humble and rely on other players to complete the mission together.

In the Wasteland Apocalypse, it was not uncommon for high-tier players to be able to control mutated beasts.

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei casually led the three Lickers into the temporary camp area.

The Lickers, which were affected by the radiation, looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The players had never seen such a mutated creature before. In addition, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were both wearing masks, so it was really strange.

Most players would look at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei a few more times.

As the commander in charge of the Southwest region, Alba had been in charge of contacting several cooperative gaming companies in the Southwest region during this main storyline mission.

When he saw Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei, he quickly came up to them.

“You’re here so soon?”

Alba was a little surprised by the efficiency of the Ark Company.

The other large player companies, from the initial communication to finalizing the cooperation, had to go through internal audit, personnel preparation, weapons and equipment, material allocation, and gathering of personnel.

It would take at least five days to go through a series of procedures, and it would take a month to even have a support team.

Alba carefully glanced at the mutated beasts controlled by Fang Heng.

Their appearance was ferocious and terrifying. Their skin was festering, and their muscles were squirming strangely. Large amounts of white bones were exposed.

Moreover, it seemed like they had never seen them before.

Fang Heng nodded and said, “Yes, we don’t have anything to prepare.”

“Alright, follow me. I’ll take you to collect the mission first.”

Alba felt that Fang Heng was not very good at chatting.

He had already reported the joint investigation report of the Ark Company to his superiors, but he had yet to receive a reply from them.

Alba could not confirm whether the two people in front of him were responsible for causing trouble in District 9 of the Vampire Apocalypse.

Fang Heng followed Alba into the inner part of the camp. After meeting an NPC and talking to him to trigger the process, he successfully triggered the mission.

[Hint: Player accepts team mission-missing research team.]

Mission name: Missing research team.

Mission difficulty: SS-.

Mission description: During the process of tracking down the glorious sunlight association, Professor Eddington accidentally discovered that his former good friend, Dodd, had conducted a related investigation. Before the apocalypse, Dodd had conducted a special investigation in the primeval forest, and his whereabouts were unknown, Professor Eddington suspected that Dodd might be in danger.

Mission requirements: Please look for Dodd’s traces in the primeval forest.

Mission time remaining: 2 months and 8 days.

The primeval forest was extremely vast, and the mission difficulty had also reached SS-level.

Fang Heng was eager to give it a try.

This meant that there was a very high probability of high-tier mutated monsters appearing in the primeval forest!

Fang Heng’s main purpose this time was not to complete the main storyline but to farm high-tier monsters in the primeval forest.

“Because we need to change our protective suits in time, we have already built eight temporary resting areas in the primeval forest during this period of time.”

Alba handed a map to Fang Heng and gave a brief introduction of the situation in the primeval forest. “The Federation has provided all the companies and teams working with us with materials, protective suits, and other battle materials. We hope that it can help everyone.”

“As the search area for the primeval forest gradually expands, we are also planning to build more camps to expand the search area.”

“Oh right, the primeval forest is very large. In order to facilitate the management, we are mainly responsible for the search of the Western region.”

“No problem.”

Fang Heng took the map from Alba’s hands and examined it carefully.

The primeval forest was quite large. The Federation had very thoughtfully marked out the danger zones and resting areas on the map. They even used various colors to differentiate the danger levels.

“Alright, when do we set off?”

“Right now. We’re going in to take a look.” Mo Jiawei looked at him in puzzlement. “Alba, you’re also planning to go into the primeval forest with us?”

“Yeah, I’m also planning to take a look. Why don’t we go in together? Do you mind?”

Alba was planning to go inside the primeval forest to take a look. At the same time, he also wanted to get more information about Ark Company.

He was ready to go with the people from Ark Company.
