Chapter 2154  Guarding Oneself While Stealing

“I’ll say it again. There’s not much time left. Think about it carefully.”

As they spoke, scattered spatial crystals condensed around Ji Haiting and the guards.

“Whoosh!”

In a flash, Ji Haiting and the others disappeared through spatial transmission.

Fang Heng looked behind the metal door, then turned to look at the researcher, Eidolard, who was hiding in the corner of the stairs with his ears covered.

Eidolard felt bitter.

What the hell!

What did he just witness?

The company’s director and Fang Heng were chatting amicably, while he was playing the role of the traitor?

Heaven!

He was doomed!

Eidolard saw Fang Heng’s gaze and shook his head in fear, “What? What was that? What did you all say just now? I’m deaf. I didn’t hear anything. I don’t know anything!”

“Stop talking nonsense. Get up and lead the way.”

Eidolard saw Fang Heng’s expression turn cold and immediately felt a chill run down his spine and straight to his head. He quickly got up from the ground and led him into the open passage ahead.

Soon, Eidolard brought Fang Heng to the secret Research Laboratory No. 3.

In the laboratory, two stones were placed behind glass walls on two large consoles, almost like exhibits.

The large instrument was still running automatically, analyzing the data of the Niam alloy.

Fang Heng stepped forward and observed through the glass wall.

The alloy stone was not a complete piece. It had been cut into small pieces the size of a fist and placed on two consoles.

Fang Heng pressed his hand on the glass wall and pushed it gently.

“Bang!!!”

The glass wall shattered.

Fang Heng continued to walk to the side of the experimental table and reached out to touch the stone.

A game notification appeared.

[Hint: The player has obtained item-Niam alloy]

[Hint: The player does not possess the relevant skill and cannot analyze this metal alloy. To analyze this item, you need to be at least Level 550 in the research room.]

Swoosh.

The metal stone disappeared into his backpack.

[Hint: The player has obtained the Niam alloy*2.]

[Hint: Hand this item over to the tree spirits to obtain the tree spirits’ favorability, a large number of camp contribution points, and tree spirits’ contribution points (It is recommended to choose this mission line to greatly reduce the difficulty of the mission and increase the efficiency of the mission completion).]

“Done!”

He had to get his hands on the Niam alloy before the tree spirits!

As for what happened next…

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the game notification that flashed past him. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds.

At the moment, the tree spirits were still fighting against the OmniTech Company and the Federation in the research institute.

The tree spirits didn’t know that he had sneaked into the research institute and obtained the Niam alloy.

However, they would naturally notice the abnormality when they arrived.

So…

Fang Heng couldn’t help but look at Eidolard behind him.

“Hey, Eidolard.”

Eidolard’s body tensed up.

“Are these the only two pieces of Niam alloy?”

“Yes, I heard from my colleagues that the Niam alloy is very rare. Don’t look down on these two small pieces of wreckage. The company actually spent a lot of effort to get them from the spawns.”

Fang Heng curled his lips and asked casually, “What is Ouroboros?”

Eidolard was stunned. He did not expect Fang Heng to suddenly ask a completely unrelated question. He took a moment to react before answering, “I’m not sure. I’ve only read some information. It’s said that it’s an unconfirmed special race.”

Fang Heng muttered to himself, “Race… What’s the specifics?”

“This race is born with a natural disaster attribute. According to the spawns, the appearance of Ouroboros represents the arrival of a natural disaster. After the appearance of Ouroboros, 99% of the species in the world will be destroyed because of them. After that, the Ouroboros race will disappear, and all the souls in the world will be revived. According to legends, Ouroboros is a snake that goes around in a cycle, symbolizing the reincarnation of the world.”

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and frowned.

That was strange.

Ouroboros represented an unknown race?

Then how did it get in touch with him?

“Where can I find detailed information about Ouroboros? Is there any in the research institute?”

“The relevant data is classified as A-level confidential. Normally, it could be accessed, but during the recent attack on the research institute, all data was automatically erased. You won’t find it here.”

Eidolard shrunk his neck as he spoke, “If you need it, you can try your luck at the black market. Although there’s very little information about Ouroboros, it’s not considered a top secret.”

“Alright, one last thing. After you’re done, help me find a place to hide. I don’t need to teach you what to say or not to say.”

“What is it?”

“Wait, disguise this place. Remember…”

Fang Heng whispered something into Eidolard’s ear.

“Ah, you…”

Eidolard looked at Fang Heng suspiciously.

He had already taken the Niam alloy, so why would he need to disguise himself? Did he really think that OmniTech Company was stupid?

“Hurry up and go!”

Hearing this, Eidolard felt a chill run down his spine and quickly ran away.

Fang Heng looked in the direction that Eidolard ran off in and closed his eyes on the spot. He sensed the Lickers and worms inside the research institute.

When he opened his eyes again, Fang Heng immediately made a judgment.

Leave first!

…

Once again, Fang Heng left the research institute through the secondary space projection.

Outside the research institute, the Lickers were still dealing with the Federation’s large war machines that would occasionally arrive at the battlefield through spatial transmission.

A large number of Lickers continued to pounce on the war machines, using their bodies to withstand the bombardment of the beam weapons and forcefully scratch the war machines to cause damage.

Fang Heng glanced at the game notifications that kept refreshing.

[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (fusion Licker form) deals 1,244 damage to the large war machine (Spider Armor V-88).]

[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (fusion Licker form) has destroyed a large war machine (Spider Armor V-88). Obtained 73 tree spirit  contribution points.]

[Hint: The player’s current mission-clearing war machines has been completed at 52%.]

Not bad.

Fang Heng was somewhat glad.

Fortunately, before entering the World of Forests, he had modified some of the Lickers’ original devouring body forms and strengthened the Lickers’ damage output. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have had a good way to deal with these iron skins.

As transition light spots outside the research institute continued to accelerate, the speed at which the war machines appeared increased.

Relying on the Lickers, he could still last for a while.

Thinking about it carefully, he could still farm the tree spirit’s mission contribution points for a while longer.

But now, Fang Heng had no hope of increasing the friendliness of the tree spirits.

He looked behind him.

The tree spirits had now firmly occupied a circle of entrances outside the research institute.

Due to their size, the large number of tree people outside could not enter the research institute area, so they could only stay outside to deal with the war machines that the Federation sent over later.
