“Also, you must be careful of the nemesis after entering Meteorite Company.”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
“It’s an experimental product of Meteorite Company.”
“Originally, after the biochemical virus was leaked, Meteorite Company released the nemesis. They wanted to take advantage of the biochemical crisis to conduct biological weapon experiments in Pine City and collect relevant information.”
“But the strange thing is, Meteorite Company completely disappeared after the disaster.”
“Now, no one has continued to control the nemesis.”
“The nemesis is still carrying out her final order to wipe out all the humans in Pine City.”
Victor said as he took out a mechanical badge from his pocket and handed it to Fang Heng.
“What’s this?”
“Meteorite Company is controlling the nemesis by implanting a chip into her brain.”
“This badge can emit a fixed low-frequency sound wave, causing the chip to react, making the nemesis think that you are Meteorite Company’s experimenter.”
Fang Heng hesitated.
“What about you? What are you going to do? And Angel?”
“Tm fine, don’t worry.”
Victor explained to Fang Heng.
“Tve roughly figured out the structure of this badge. I’ve also simulated and set up a signal source in the hospital, so the hospital area is relatively safe. Under normal circumstances, it won’t be attacked by the nemesis.”
[Hint: You’ve obtained the badge of Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Meteorite Company branch (Victor).]
Fang Heng put away the badge.
It was a good item!
With this item, he could temporarily block the attacks of the nemesis!
This way, he would have a lot of room to maneuver when dealing with the nemesis in the future.
“You still have to be careful. The badge is only effective against the nemesis. The other zombies will still attack you.”
“Okay, I will find the G-virus cell blocker as soon as possible and come back.”
“You have to be careful during this period of time.”
Fang Heng said as he put away the badge and left some mineral water in his backpack to Victor.
Just as he was about to leave, Fang Heng thought of something.
He turned around and looked Victor up and down.
Victor was puzzled. “What?”
“Uh… to be honest, Victor, did you offend anyone outside?”
“Offend someone…”
Victor was a little confused by Fang Heng’s question.
He still tried to recall.
“Ever since I entered the Meteorite Company, I’ve spent my time either at work or with Angel. I’ve rarely interacted with outsiders. I might have unintentionally offended someone at work.”
Fang Heng nodded.
It was just as he had thought.
Old Black’s employer’s motive for wanting to kill Victor was not targeted at Victor.
It should be a game plot related to Victor.
Most likely, after killing Victor, it might trigger some special plot.
Could it be related to Angel?
For example, if Angel became a Tier 5 mutated zombie after being stimulated, would it bring great trouble to the Federation?
“Fang Heng? Is there some trouble?”
Fang Heng stopped thinking and said, “Victor, before I came here, I heard that there are people in the Dark Knights who may harm you. They already know that you’re staying in the hospital, and they might come to look for you.”
“Think about it, do you want to leave this place with me?”
Victor frowned. He thought about it and rejected Fang Heng’s suggestion.
“Thank you, Fang Heng. But I can’t leave Angel here alone. I’ll always stay here to protect her.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Fang Heng nodded. “Then be careful. Don’t let your guard down when you meet anyone.”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng stopped again.
“Oh right, Victor, there’s one more thing. Do you have any high-level machines here?”
Victor looked puzzled.
He was a little confused by Fang Heng’s out-of-the-box thinking.
“High-level machines? Yes, there are, but they’re in another hospital building.”
“What do you want that for?”
“Lwant to dismantle some parts from it.”
Fang Heng took out a wrench from his pocket and gestured with it in front of Victor.
“Ineed some high-level parts.”
Victor looked at the wrench in Fang Heng’s hand and smiled bitterly.
“No need to dismantle them. Come with me.”
After a while, Victor brought Fang Heng to a storage room on the fourth floor.
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up when he opened the door of the storage room.
What the heck!
This is…
Amechanical waste collection point?
Fang Heng originally thought that his ore pile was already messy enough, but the mechanical pile here was even more messy!
Strange mechanical parts were piled up everywhere in the room.
Only the central mechanical console and the surrounding area were cleared out.
There were a total of six mechanical arms on the mechanical console.
‘The mechanical arms were operating.
What was that?
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes, and a chill ran down his spine.
On the mechanical console was a dismembered mechanical ball.
Wasn’t that hemisphere the mechanical ball he had encountered at the entrance of the fourth floor?
“It’s a bit messy, don’t mind it.”
Victor walked into the messy pile of machines.
His movements were unusually skillful.
Fang Heng opened his mouth.
That’s right!
Fang Heng finally remembered.
Victor was a mechanical engineer!
He was the Chief Mechanical Engineer in charge of the entire Meteorite Company!
So, he should be at least an A-level NPC, right?
Maybe even an S-level?
Should he trick him back home?
Fang Heng’s mind was already working.
If he wanted to lure Victor back, he would most likely need to start with Angel.
Victor was already prepared to leave Pine City.
But now it was already the apocalypse outside.
‘Where could he go?
Wouldn’t he have to come to his own shelter?
The sterile ward!
Fang Heng immediately understood.
‘The purpose of recruiting Victor was most likely to build a sterile ward in the shelter for Angel to live in!
With Victor around, the experimental equipment in the shelter would most likely be repaired perfectly!
It would greatly increase the efficiency of scientific research!
Victor turned his head from the pile of machines and asked, “Fang Heng? What type of mechanical parts do you want?”
Fang Heng came back to his senses.
“General purpose advanced mechanical parts will do.”
Recalling the need to repair the communication base station, Fang Heng asked again, “Oh right, is there a communication base plate? A-type base plate.”
“Yes, let me see. What do you want to repair?”
“It’s a kind of radio communication base station used to send and receive signals.”
Fang Heng explained to Victor with a bitter smile.
“When our team came here, we were attacked by the nemesis. The radio base station accessories transported on the helicopter were damaged.”
“T managed to repair it a little. Now its release power is very low. It’s very difficult to contact the other Dark Knights’ teams.”
“Sigh, there’s no hope for it to be completely repaired. I can only try to repair it as much as possible. I can try to expand the communication range of the base station and try to contact other people.”
Unfortunately, Victor had no way of leaving the hospital.
If it’s him, he should be able to easily repair the base station to its perfect state..
