Chapter 133 - An Unexpected Discovery
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After a night of fear, the next morning…
Mira logged into the game.
Last night, the zombie attack didn’t end until 2:00 a.m.
Everyone was exhausted.
In the end, they almost ran out of ammunition!
Just a little bit more, and the shelter they worked so hard to build would fall.
Fortunately, they held on.
But they also paid the price with the lives of two members.
Mira didn’t sleep well. She returned to the game immediately after dawn.
The other players were still offline and resting.
‘The two players who stayed behind were also sleeping at their desks.
Mira took out the remaining wooden planks from the shelter and prepared to repair the spike traps and stakes destroyed by the zombies last night.
She pushed open the door of the shelter.
Mira froze on the spot.
During the day, her vision was unusually clear.
She saw more zombies than last night.
The zombies were standing about 100 meters away from the shelter.
They didn’t do anything, nor did they make any movements. They just stood there in a daze.
‘There were twice as many of them as last night!
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Mira’s forehead.
“Bang!”
She closed the door with a bang and tured back to the room, waking up all the sleeping players.
‘A few minutes later, the players who had received the warning from the King of Gods’ game came online one by one.
‘Their faces were tired and their eyes were sleepy.
They had been fighting for the whole night. How long had they slept?
“The zombies! They didn’t leave last night! They were staying outside the shelter!”
Mira led everyone to the gate of the shelter and pushed it open.
Everyone saw the zombie crowd outside the camp.
The players were silent.
The shelter was filled with despair.
They felt their hearts clench.
After last night’s ‘catastrophe’, most of the defensive structures around the shelter had been destroyed. There weren’t many left!
Not to mention, they didn’t have enough arrows.
If these zombies attacked the shelter again.
They wouldn’t be able to hold on!
“Why are there so many zombies?”
“How should I know?”
“They seem to be gathering their friends nearby. These zombies are targeting us!”
“What are you talking about? How can zombies gather their friends?”
“Should we try to lure them away?”
“Don’t go! What if we anger the zombies and they attack our shelter?”
“Calm down!”
Anter stood up and tried to calm the players down.
“I’ve reported the situation of the shelter to the company. The company has already paid a high price to hire a professional mercenary group to help us deal with the zombies.”
“Hold on for another two hours. The mercenaries will arrive in two hours to help us defend the shelter.”
Anter’s words made the players feel a little more at ease.
With the help of professional mercenaries, they might still be able to defend the shelter.
“Don’t you think this group of zombies is very strange?”
Mira had been deep in thought before, but now she suddenly raised her head, her expression unusually serious.
“Yesterday, I killed a vine zombie. Later, I carefully checked the game log.”
Anter looked unhappy and asked, “Mira, is there something wrong?”
“The game log shows that I didn’t get any evolution crystal fragments or survival points after killing the zombie.”
‘The other players also looked confused.
It was understandable that there were no crystal fragments, but without survival points…
Anter seemed to have caught something.
“Mira, what are you trying to say?”
“Tm wondering if someone is controlling this group of zombies?”
Mira looked worried.
“I think they might be related to the prison players we met yesterday.”
The prison players?
It sounded far-fetched, but after Mira’s analysis, it did make sense.
‘The players all had strange expressions.
Players who could control the zombie crowd?
They all looked at Anter almost at the same time.
If it was the prison players, then it would be troublesome.
Anter had offended the prison group badly yesterday!
‘The zombies were here for revenge!
“Don’t talk nonsense! How could the players have the ability to control the zombie crowd!”
Anter shouted angrily, “Stop thinking about it! This is nonsense anyway!”
“The company has already paid the Blackthorn mercenary group to help us protect the shelter!”
“Now, we need to work together to survive these two hours!”
[Hint: During the time you are offline, your zombie group has completed the production of iron*555 and the mining of iron ore*2615.]
[Hint: While you were offline, your zombies continued to perform mechanical maintenance. You have gained 5399 experience points for mechanical maintenance.
[Hint: Your mechanical maintenance skill has been upgraded to Level 11.]
[Hint: Part of your zombie group is on standby.)
It was past nine o’clock when Fang Heng got up and entered the game.
He was a little sleepy!
Last night, he made use of Captain Company to level up until midnight.
‘When he felt that the players of Captain Company were about to lose their members, Fang Heng ordered the zombies to stop attacking.
He was prepared to give the players some time to catch their breath before he continued to level up.
“Sigh, it’s really tiring to control my strength and tease these players.”
Fang Heng sighed and glanced at the game log.
The results of last night’s battle were gratifying.
Dodging and blocking skills had all been upgraded to Level 7.
“In one night’s time, the Captain Company should have almost finished repairing, right? Their combat strength should have recovered quite a bit…”
“Wait a little longer. Let them make some more arrows and once they are done, we’ll start killing them at noon.”
Fang Heng’s eyes flashed with coldness.
There was still some time, so he went to the hardware store to deal with the follow-up mission of the G-virus.
He would kill them when he returned!
It would take an hour and a half to go to the hardware store from the shelter.
Fang Heng drove the car, which was full of vine zombies.
When he was about to arrive at the hardware store, the car passed by a few players who were walking.
Ever since he entered the game, Fang Heng rarely met other players in the wild.
He subconsciously looked at them a few more times.
Fang Heng saw a familiar figure.
Huh??
‘Through the rearview mirror, Fang Heng suddenly narrowed his eyes and repeatedly confirmed.
It was him!
Old Black!
Fang Heng’s heart pounded rapidly.
Ever since the last Hope Town incident, Fang Heng had never heard of Old Black’s whereabouts.
It was as if Old Black had disappeared from the face of the Earth.
After the incident, Fang Heng had overheard Chen Yu talking about it.
‘The federation believed that Alex’s riot was caused by an anti-federal organization.
‘They had even found out about Chen Yu had notarized the mission with Old Black at the federal notary office.
However, Chen Yu knew what to do. He took the responsibility alone, claiming that he accepted the mission on his own and that he had been under the federation’s scrutiny for a period of time.
Later, Chen Yu revealed that Old Black was also a member of an anti-federal organization..
