Chapter 135 - Sneak Attack
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“G-virus? There’s a secret passage and a safe?”
Listening to their conversation, Fang Heng thought that he was lucky.
Fortunately, he met this group of people who showed him the way. Otherwise, it would have taken him a long time to search the hardware store by himself.
If he didn’t meet Old Black and the others, Fang Heng would probably have asked the zombies to tear down the entire hardware store!
It would take a lot of time and effort to do that, and he didn’t know the password to the hidden safe.
Fang Heng hid in the dark and took out a concave-shaped mask from his backpack.
Putting on the mask, Fang Heng secretly ordered the vine zombies to launch a sneak attack.
Deng Xin and the other two didn’t notice anything strange. They pushed the shelf open with great effort, revealing the hidden door behind the shelf.
Seeing that the passage was opened, Deng Xin was about to say something.
Suddenly, she felt a cold sensation coming from the back of her neck.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!!!”
‘The faint sound made Deng Xin quiver.
She didn’t have time to turn around, her pupils suddenly constricted.
“Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!!”
In the next moment, Deng Xin felt that her neck was tightly grasped by someone!
She subconsciously reached out to touch her throat.
“Shoosh!”
“Dong! !”
Deng Xin’s throat was tightly wrapped by the vines, and she was lifted into the air!
In the process, her body crashed into a shelf at the side with a loud thump.
“What!!”
Everything happened in a flash.
‘Mu Zikun and Tang Xun heard the sound, and as soon as they turned their heads, their expressions changed drastically!
The vines hanging from the sky grabbed onto Deng Xin’s neck, pulling her up and hanging her in the air.
Vines?!
Where did they come from?
Their hearts pounded violently and they immediately looked up.
Five or six vine zombies were clinging to the steel beam with their vines!
Deng Xin struggled with all her might. She frantically took out her machete and stabbed upwards, trying to save herself.
“Hold on!”
Mu Zikun was the first to regain his senses. He rushed forward to help.
Just as he was about to go forward, he seemed to have tripped on something and stumbled as he rushed forward.
“ah!!”
Mu Zikun let out a blood-curdling scream.
‘The world spun around him.
He was dragged up into the air by the vines wrapped around his feet.
‘Mu Zikun’s mind was buzzing.
It was not easy for him to get used to the world upside-down. He quickly looked around and tried to escape.
Mu Zikun’s heart sank.
It’s over!
‘Tang Xun was in the same predicament as him. His feet were tightly wrapped by the vines and he was hanging upside down in the air.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
More and more vines were wrapped around Mu Zikun and Tang Xun until their hands and feet were all tightly bounded!
On the other side, Deng Xin was wrapped by the vines to the point of suffocation. She felt her vision becoming increasingly blurry.
She could no longer hold on to the knife in her hand and it eventually fell to the ground.
Suddenly, the vines around Deng Xin’s neck loosened.
“Bang!”
Deng Xin fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
Barely surviving from the attack, Deng Xin could not help but cover her throat and cough dryly.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!”
Deng Xin raised her head and before she could even save her teammates, a black muzzle was placed on her face.
Deng Xin’s face was pale.
Fang Heng used a large-calibre shotgun in front of Deng Xin.
“Come, give me a reason to let you live.”
Deng Xin looked at Fang Heng in horror.
Fang Heng’s entire body was hidden in the shadows.
The cartoonish mask on his face made Deng Xin’s hair stand on end.
“We can give you everything we have. As long as you let us go, we can also give you everything outside of the game.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don’t play tricks with me.”
“article 66 of the federal emergency evacuation regulations. You can take whatever you want from the King of Gods’ game, but once you are outside of the game, it’s considered extortion.”
Fang Heng curled his lips, cocked his head and asked, “Do you want to live?”
Deng Xin did not want to die. She nodded frantically.
After calming down and thinking about it, Deng Xin finally realized how terrifying this mysterious person in front of her was.
Above her head, the densely packed vine zombies hiding in the darkness were all manipulated by him!
This person was a demon!
He had been hiding here from the start! He was waiting for the team to come knocking on his door.
After briefly weighing the difference in strength between the two sides, Deng Xin immediately lost the will to resist.
She couldn’t win!
All she wanted now was to survive.
“Take out everything in your backpack.”
Deng Xin immediately did as she was told. She emptied all the materials in her backpack and placed them on the ground one by one.
Fang Heng pointed his shotgun at Deng Xin and stared at her coldly.
On the surface, he remained calm, but in his heart, he was excited with what she got.
Good fellow!
She even brought a pistol and a small explosive pack!
Fang Heng thought that this group of people had indeed come prepared. He quickly put all of Deng Xin’s materials back into his backpack.
“Very good. I need to know some things. If we cooperate, I can spare your life.”
Deng Xin quickly nodded. “We will work together!”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng nodded and waved his hand.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!!!”
‘Tang Xun and Mu Zikun, who were both hanging in the air, were immediately dragged into the darkness by the vines.
Deng Xin’s face turned pale.
“What do you want?”
“To prevent collusion, of course. It’s always done like this in the movies.”
Fang Heng shrugged and said in a matter-of-factly tone.
“alright, answer the question honestly. Don’t try to hide anything.”
“Why are you here? Tell me more details. Start from the beginning.”
Deng Xin nodded and started from the beginning.
“We’re a player team. We received a request from the black market. The client hopes that we can help him retrieve something from the hardware store.”
“We accepted the mission four days ago. The day before yesterday, when we were cleaning up the hardware store, we discovered that there were Tier 2 ghost claw zombies in the store. At that time, our team was unable to deal with them.”
“So, our employer prepared explosives and guns for us today. We were going to kill the ghost claw zombies.”
“We didn’t expect that the ghost-claw zombies had been cleared up after coming here. After that, I saw you and those…”
Deng Xin raised her head and looked up at Fang Heng with lingering fear.
Fang Heng used his chin to indicate the secret passage behind her.
“And then? What about that secret passage?”
“Tm not sure about the details. The client only told me the location of the secret passage and that there is a safe under the secret passage.”
Deng Xin thought for a moment, then immediately added.
“The password to open the safe is ‘eavan’. We only need to take out the thing in the safe and give it to the client to complete the mission.”
“What is it?”
“The employer said it’s a G-virus.”
“Who is the employer?”
“I don’t know his specific identity. His ID on the internet is Old Black. He looks about 70 to 80 years old and is 1.6 meters tall. There’s nothing special about him. He’s outside right now and didn’t follow us in.”
“Very good.”
Fang Heng snapped his fingers as he spoke..
