Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fang Heng opened his eyes again and arrived at another base of the Dark Knights.
The person in charge of the base was an old man named En.
His hair had already turned white.
“Katarina has already told me about you. The meeting point is just north of the base. It’s about a 30-minute walk. I can lend you a bicycle.”
“Thank you, I brought my own.”
Fang Heng opened the map.
This was a desert area.
The most valuable resource in the desert was oil.
‘There were many oil mines here.
In the later stages of the game, the player’s shelter would start to use a lot of electricity.
Oil was one of the main sources.
Fang Heng rode the bicycle and walked through the desert.
By the time Fang Heng arrived at the meeting point, it was already past 10:30.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, Fang Heng was brought into a temporary tent by two soldiers of the Dark Knights.
“You are Fang Heng?”
In the tent, Colonel Barker stood up.
“T’ve heard of your name, Fang Heng. You managed to obtain a live sample of Erita from the Meteorite Company, allowing us to obtain a lot of valuable information. On behalf of the Dark Knights, we thank you for your efforts.”
[Hint: Barker’s favorability towards you has increased slightly.]
“Tam Colonel Barker, the commander-in-chief for this operation in Pine City.”
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Barker.
So he was the commander-in-chief of the operation!
Barker looked very rough. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was also bald.
But he was very enthusiastic.
“Unfortunately, since my team is full, I can not provide you with any position.”
“If you don’t mind, you can temporarily follow the logistics team. When we arrive in Pine City, I’ll direct the operations of the logistics team.”
There’s a logistics team?
Fang Heng muttered in his heart.
Could this be Old Black’s plan?
Since he was already here…
‘As long as he could enter Pine City, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to act alone.
It wouldn’t be a big problem to join the logistics team.
Fang Heng nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements.”
Barker walked forward and patted Fang Heng’s shoulder.
“Come, I’ll bring you to the logistics team’s meeting point.”
At another meeting point in the tent.
Everyone looked at Fang Heng.
“Hello, I’m Fang Heng.”
Fang Heng nodded at these people. At the same time, he did not forget to observe and try to determine whether they were players or NPCs.
Then, he saw a tall blonde girl in the crowd.
She had a tall nose and a sturdy figure.
“Let me introduce you. This is Lucia, the leader of the logistics team.”
Barker turned around and looked at Fang Heng. He whispered, “She’s very beautiful, right?”
Lucia seemed to have heard him and revealed a displeased expression.
Fang Heng nodded awkwardly.
“Young man, you have good taste. But I advise you not to have any feelings for her. You’re too weak. You’re not strong enough for her to beat you up.”
Fang Heng coughed lightly.
ahem, I don’t believe…”
“Hahaha, alright, it’s just a joke. The helicopter will take off in an hour and a half.”
Barker’s expression became serious. He pointed at the helicopter that was parked on one side and a few large boxes on the other side.
“Since this helicopter is used to carry materials, there are strict restrictions on the load of the passengers.”
“We need to streamline our backpacks. Each person can carry a maximum of 100 kg of items. You can store items that you don’t need temporarily there.”
Only 100 kg?
This was troublesome.
Fang Heng revealed a distressed expression.
His backpack was filled to the brim.
player’s weight-bearing was related to their vitality and character level.
Normally, players could put small and medium-sized props, items, materials, food and so on into their backpacks.
However, resource-type items, such as wooden planks, would not be able to keep in the backpack once it exceeds more than ten pieces.
Fang Heng’s backpack was much larger than the average player’s. In addition, he had just learned the super-large backpack skill.
Its capacity far exceeded that of a normal player’s.
Before coming here, Fang Heng had packed a bunch of miscellaneous items in his backpack for safety reasons.
He walked to the box and hesitated for a while.
The zombie clone also had a small amount of weight, and it had also inherited Fang Heng’s super-large backpack skill.
However, the problem was that after the zombie clone died and was resurrected, all the items in the backpack, except for the weapons, tools, and clothes, would be emptied.
It was unrealistic to use the zombie clone to transport the materials remotely.
“This is a bit troublesome
Fang Heng muttered and took out a bag of biscuits and a bottle of coffee and milk, slowly eating and drinking.
First of all, he needed a sample collector!
He couldn’t let Qiu Yaokang down after staying up for two nights.
‘There were also weapons and ammunition, small explosive packs, gasoline…
In addition, there was a small number of survival materials, water and food…
The necessary anti-infection potions, medical bandages, blood recovery packs, healing spray…
The backup survival items, such as ropes, flashlights, coffee…
“Alright, start emptying.”
Fang Heng sighed and kept taking things out of his backpack.
Since Fang Heng arrived, the player Mo Jiawei had been observing Fang Heng.
‘When he saw Fang Heng struggling in front of the box for a while, he realized that Fang Heng might be a player.
Fang Heng began to throw things into the box.
Pistols, bullet boxes*21…
Torches, flashlights, high-efficiency batteries, ropes, nylon rope, flower pots…
Luncheon meat, cooking bags, yoghurt, canned food, coffee, high-efficiency nutrient solution, honey…
Fang Heng dug for a full five minutes.
He still didn’t stop?
Was his backpack so big?
Mo Jiawei and the others were dumbfounded.
At first, it was food.
Biscuits, honey, meat…
He dug for a full two minutes.
Then it was all kinds of sundries.
There were rope, firewood, lighter, flashlight, crowbar…
He dug for another three minutes or more.
‘Then it was all kinds of high-level weapons, equipment and recovery items.
Focused flamethrower?!
Healing spray?
Dozens of boxes of handgun bullets?
Most of them were food…
Even a barbecue grill?
What’s going on?
Even a bicycle? Was he not afraid of being overloaded?
Furnace??
D*mn, why would he carry a furnace with him?!
‘Mo Jiawei saw many high-priced items being thrown into the box by Fang Heng.
Without a doubt!
This player was a big shot!
How could an ordinary player have such a large backpack?
How could he have such high-value items?
Fang Heng finally cleared out the backpack with great difficulty,
He turned around and happened to notice Mo Jiawei’s expression.
The other NPCs’ expressions were very calm, but he looked like he had not seen the world.
It seemed that there was only one player in this team, Mo Jiawei.
Fang Heng made a rough judgment.
After finishing organizing, Fang Heng walked to the back of the team and stood at the back.
‘Mo Jiawei greeted Fang Heng in a low voice.
“Hey, friend, you’re a player, right? My name is Mo Jiawei. I live in the snowfield area. Where are you from?”
“Sucheng, Fang Heng.”
“Nice to meet you. God, take me with you.”
“No problem. We’ll work together then..”
