1642 War Machinery
The mutant crystallization assembly device was used to grind monsters and level up.
Only the Federation provided it outside, so it could definitely be sold at a high price.
The heavy-duty energy beam gun was not meant for players to use.
It was entirely designed and manufactured to be equipped with the latest generation of the Federation’s ‘Reformer-12′ war machinery.
Ordinary players could not even lift the gun, let only use it!
Of course, the cost of war machinery was extremely high. The Federation also provided them for exchange, and the price could be said to be exorbitant.
Starfish Company didn’t exchange for the mech but for weapons? Wasn’t this buying and selling to make a fortune?
It seemed as if they were planning to run away.
The Starfish Company was such a big company and had cooperated with the Western District Federation many times. Their reputation had always been good.
They would also run away?
A few projects that they were working on were also going to be abandoned.
That’s not right…
The subordinate saw that Dallas’s expression was strange and suggested, “Sir, the Starfish Company has begun transporting supplies. Should we intercept them?”
“No need. You can leave. I’ll handle it.”
Intercept?
Dallas thought for a moment and felt that it was better not to make such a big fuss.
After all, Starfish Company was a large international company with considerable strength.
The other party’s procedures were also reasonable and compliant.
However, he still had to report it to the higher-ups.
If the other party tried to escape, they could avoid the risk in advance.
If they really ran away, the Western District Federation would definitely come to settle the score with them!
…
The night gradually fell.
On a barren sandy land, the frontline outpost of the Federation was built in the middle of the city.
The entire outpost was a five-story building. It was built temporarily and had limited defensive capabilities.
After Lu Yanlong finished checking the mutant crystallization assembly device on the top floor, he looked out the window a few times.
How terrifying!
Under the window, a large number of zombies had gathered around the outpost!
Starting from two hours ago, a large number of zombies began to gather, surrounding the entire outpost.
Then, the zombies suddenly began to disperse and build a very evil-looking stone altar around the sentry tower.
By now, there were more than 20 altars built outside the sentry tower.
The altar looked strange.
Lu Yanlong shivered for no reason and hurried back to the first floor of the outpost.
“Mr. Fang, the devices have been installed according to your requirements and are now activated.”
Fang Heng was observing the game notifications on the first floor. He looked up and said, “Well done.”
Lu Yanlong looked at Fang Heng’s calm appearance and was somewhat worried. He said, “Mr. Fang, based on past experience, there are at most twenty minutes before the mutated monsters attack this place. Do we really not need to set up any more traps?”
“No need. Leave the rest to me. You just need to keep in touch with the Federation offline.”
Fang Heng’s expression was as relaxed as ever.
The vampire altars at the edge of the desert had been completed.
Hence, the zombie clones all changed into Lickers and quickly rushed to the Outpost No. 8 to gather. They quickly returned to their normal zombie forms and began to collect materials to build the vampire altar.
The situation was gratifying.
A total of 27 sentry towers had been completed, and the remaining eight altars could be completed in 20 minutes.
The calmer Fang Heng appeared, the more nervous Lu Yanlong felt.
Was everything really alright?
The group of zombies and the altars outside did not look very reliable.
Lu Yanlong carefully looked out the window, his expression grave. He had to prepare for the worst.
“Mr. Fang, please follow me when you are in danger. I will escort you out of here.”
Lu Yanlong was sent by Starfish Company to assist Fang Heng. Other than being responsible for maintaining communication with the Federation, he was also a master-level spatial element player.
His special spatial ability allowed him to ensure his safety when facing many high-level dangerous missions.
The reason why Lu Yanlong was sent here was to protect Fang Heng. Once they encountered danger, Lu Yanlong would use his spatial ability to teleport Fang Heng away.
“Alright, alright, there’s no need to be so nervous.”
Fang Heng waved his hand casually.
Lu Yanlong couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He quickly went offline to check the situation.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yanlong came online again.
“Mr. Fang, Outpost No. 1 is under attack. It is estimated that the outpost will be attacked by a large number of mutated creatures in five minutes. We need to be prepared for battle!”
“Alright.”
Fang Heng replied and walked out of the outpost.
Lu Yanlong hurriedly followed.
Outside the outpost, a large number of zombie clones surrounded the outpost.
Lu Yanlong raised his head and looked into the distance. His expression changed slightly, and he looked very serious as he spoke, “Mr. Fang, they’re here.”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng also raised his head and looked into the distance.
A series of black dots appeared on the horizon of the desert in the distance.
Mutated monsters!
Lu Yanlong’s forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
In the past, he had only heard about the situation at the outpost. Even so, this was the first time he saw the mutated monsters surging toward them. Lu Yanlong still felt a sense of trepidation.
Fang Heng’s expression also became a little more serious. He was more excited though.
With so many mutated creatures, the probability of a mutant crystal dropping was even higher.
The zombie clones that were originally entrenched around the outpost gathered under Fang Heng’s control, blocking the way between the monsters and the outpost.
There were nearly 6,000 zombies.
They gathered together in a vast and mighty manner, looking extremely terrifying.
Unfortunately, compared to the black mass of mutated creatures in the distance, the opponent undoubtedly gave off a stronger sense of oppression.
The zombie team in the front row seemed a little weak.
Lu Yanlong looked at Fang Heng worriedly. He was indeed powerful to be able to control so many zombies. However, zombies were low-level creatures in the elementary game world.
Facing an advanced game world creature, they would undoubtedly be crushed!
It was impossible for them to block a stronger opponent!
Eh?
What was that?
Lu Yanlong heard the sizzling sound and looked in the direction of the sound. His pupils couldn’t help but shrink.
He stared at the zombies in front of him.
The zombies had changed!
A strange sticky substance oozed out of the zombies’ bodies. Then, they squatted down and formed calluses on the spot.
“Pfft! Tsk tsk…!!”
The dense sizzling sounds were endless.
In just a short ten seconds, the flesh cocoons broke open one after another!
Red shadows darted out of the flesh cocoon and quickly gathered in front of the outpost. They blocked the path of the mutated monsters that were surging forward and formed a defensive line!
Lu Yanlong turned his head and looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
Lickers!
Zombies could evolve into Lickers?
The Licker’s combat power was completely different from the zombie clone!
Lu Yanlong’s heart was pounding.
Such a large number of Lickers piled up together made Lu Yanlong even more shocked.
