Chapter 1652 - 1652 Detained

1652 Detained

[Hint: The player’s current ring mission changed-explore the mausoleum.]

Mission name: Search the mausoleum.

Mission difficulty: S.

Mission description: After a period of research, Dodd’s team concluded that the unknown high-tier world you are in is most likely the resting place of the alien spawns. From some information, you know that there may be a mausoleum here.

Mission requirements: Please continue to search for clues and information related to the mausoleum.

A slightly troublesome mission.

Fang Heng looked at the mission description.

If his guess was correct, it seemed that he had to find a way to enter the depths of the desert to investigate.

Was there any way to enter the depths?

At the very least, it was impossible for him to fly over in his bat form.

He had tried it before. The sand and dust environment would directly affect the flight of the bat form, forcing it to return to its human form.

Fang Heng discussed the problems he encountered with Dodd’s research team.

Dodd’s team temporarily came up with two solutions.

First, they could provide a mechanical tool to completely clean up the quicksand area and turn it into an ordinary desert.

However, this required a lot of time.

Furthermore, Fang Heng felt that he would have to use tools to clear the quicksand under the attack of a large number of mutant desert flying snakes.

It was unrealistic.

Even if the zombie clone could withstand the attack of the mutant desert flying snake, the mechanical tools might not be able to withstand it.

The second method was to use a special magic scroll to forcefully change the surrounding terrain.

This move was very effective.

The problem was that according to the current situation detected by the Lickers, the quicksand area was very wide. There were very few environmental magic scrolls, and they generally didn’t cover a large area.

It was very difficult to work.

He still had to think of a way and consider it carefully.

Or perhaps he had guessed wrong.

The mausoleum was not deep in the desert.

Fang Heng and Dodd’s team discussed this for a while.

Dodd’s team would continue to think of a way, and he would go to the Federation to take a look at the situation tomorrow morning. At the same time, he would seek the opinions of the Starfish Company’s team for reference.

…

The next morning, Fang Heng immediately went to the federal camp after he went online.

Soon, he got a piece of bad news from Hector.

“Our device has been detained? Why?”

In the federal camp, Fang Heng’s expression turned hostile.

The West District Federation was not very humane to begin with, but the mutant crystallization assembly device they provided was still very good.

Originally, after the device was stored and sent back, the West District Federation would convert the energy into mutant crystals and return them to Starfish Company.

He did not expect that there would be a problem at the last step.

Hector’s expression was not too good either.

This time, the Western District Federation did not care about their dignity anymore. They directly seized their device.

“The Federation said that there is a problem with the device and that it needed time to be repaired.”

He felt helpless, but this was reality.

Only the Western District Federation had the mutant crystallization assembly device, and only they knew how to extract energy from the device and complete the assembly.

In the past, the Western District Federation had also used similar methods to control those disobedient players.

Even a large international player team like the Starfish Company could only be controlled by them.

“Fang Heng, don’t be rash. We are already negotiating with the Federation.”

Seeing Fang Heng’s unfriendly expression, Hector reminded him in a low voice.

“Yes, I understand.”

Fang Heng would not be stupid enough to provoke the Federation over this.

However, with his personality, it was certain that he would do something to take revenge behind his back.

Moreover, it would not be so easy to get the item back if he only negotiated with the Federation through Starfish Company.

Fang Heng nodded and thought for a moment. He raised his head and asked, “What does the Federation want?”

“They want to know how we dealt with the mutated forms.”

After pausing for a moment, he leaned over and whispered into Fang Heng’s ear, “Fang Heng, your performance last night was too good. The Western District Federation thinks that we have found a way to deal with the mutated forms. They also want this method. They came to test us last night, but they met with a rebuff.”

Fang Heng couldn’t help but sneer as he quickly calculated in his heart.

The Western District Federation was so shameless that he really didn’t have a good way to deal with it.

“Forget it, let’s leave it at that for now.”

Fang Heng shrugged and continued to walk forward.

“What is it? Forget it?”

He never expected to get such an answer from Fang Heng. He took two steps forward and chased after him. He still couldn’t believe it and asked Fang Heng for confirmation, “Are we really just going to let it go?”

“Yes, I’m fine. I’ll remember this first.”

Fang Heng nodded and said, “Anyway, the Western District Federation doesn’t need us. Let’s see how they defend the outpost tonight. Let’s spread this news again. I’m afraid that the few teams that originally cooperated with the Federation tonight will be even less willing to accept the commission, right?”

Hector smiled bitterly.

Not to mention.

Not necessarily!

After all, there were always a few players who did not believe in evil.

They always felt that unlucky things would not fall on their heads.

As long as he obediently cooperated with the Federation and begged for mercy, he could still get some subsidies.

Hector said with a serious nod, “I’ll try to contact the other teams through the company’s connections, but I can’t guarantee that it’ll work.”

Fang Heng shrugged. He hadn’t thought of a good solution yet so he could only do this step first.

He hoped that the mutated monster horde tonight would wake the Federation up.

“However, Fang Heng, there’s one more thing. The Federation suffered relatively little damage last night. They’ve already begun to deploy stronger defense devices during the day. Their defense capabilities will be greatly improved tonight.”

Hector whispered, “Also, what we’re doing might enrage the Federation even more. Are you sure you want to do it?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll get someone to do it immediately.”

Hector did not hesitate. In the past, he had always disliked the Western District Federation.

For the sake of money, he endured them. However, the Federation had gone too far this time.

Moreover, between Fang Heng and the Western District Federation, he chose to bet on Fang Heng.

He believed in Fang Heng’s future.

“Wait, Hector.”

Fang Heng pulled on Hector again and asked, “There’s one more thing I want to ask. Have you heard anything about the mausoleum?”

“Mausoleum?”

Hector repeated the word again and revealed a puzzled expression, “I’ve never heard of it. We’ve been focusing on the search for minerals this time. I’ll keep an eye out for you later.”

“Thank you.”

Fang Heng nodded.

Since the Federation wasn’t cooperating, they wouldn’t waste time at the outpost tonight.

If everything went smoothly, the Federation would probably come to request continued cooperation after suffering a defeat tonight.

At that time, Starfish Company could take back the initiative.

As for now…

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

He was more concerned about the quicksand area he encountered yesterday.

However, there was still no good way to break through for the time being.

After some thought, Fang Heng decided to change his course of action.
