#1800 - Emergency
Fang Heng also nodded inwardly.
This piercing damage is very high, directly knocking off one-fifth of the Licker's health!
You must know that the Licker inherited his basic health.
It is already a leader-level health template.
Moreover, the spike's piercing speed is extremely fast, even the Licker's agility cannot resist it.
Let's try again!
Fang Heng thought, while manipulating twelve Lickers to simultaneously dart towards the Hetero-Bug Zombie from different angles!
"咻! 咻咻!!"
Instantly, more than a dozen spikes simultaneously pierced out from the thick 'armor' wrapped around the Meat Armor Zombie's body, piercing through the Lickers leaping in mid-air one by one!
"砰!!"
Without exception, all twelve Lickers were once again flung around in the air by the spikes a few times before being thrown out.
Amazing!
It can't stump him at all!
The Lickers simply can't get close to the Hetero-Bug Zombie!
Fang Heng praised inwardly.
Judging from the simple few offensive tests, the Hetero-Bug Zombie still has many shortcomings.
For example, its movement speed is slow, and its control is somewhat weak. When facing ranged attacks, it's like a living target.
But just this kind of spike output ability is worth the price!
Fang Heng looked at Qiu Yaokang, who was participating in the combat test alongside him, and asked, "Can it be mass-produced?"
"The Hetero-Bugs need to be cultivated, which will take some time. In addition, the initial activation of the Hetero-Bugs also requires a special compound that stimulates the Primordial Eater, so it is currently impossible to achieve large-scale mass production. Based on the current situation, if you need them urgently, we can provide about 20-50 of them a day under extreme conditions."
Qiu Yaokang said while recording data, "I need to keep this zombie for more detailed follow-up testing. As for some adjustments, the subsequent success rate of evolution will also gradually increase."
Fang Heng couldn't help but scratch his head as he listened.
Difficult!
With Qiu Yaokang's research team working on the cultivation of Hetero-Bugs, reaching mass production levels isn't difficult.
As for the compound that stimulates the Primordial Eater, he has also been to Tong Jia's laboratory from time to time these past two days, and the formula is already in hand.
He is also trying to 'take' some of the raw materials from the research team and bring them back to the game for the research team.
Completely getting the compound replication and mass production sorted out is only a matter of time.
Currently, the biggest problem is none other than the God's Domain points required to solidify the zombie clone state.
This thing is real money.
After being silent for a long time, Fang Heng could only helplessly say, "Okay, I understand. Let's conduct the test first and try to increase the success rate and output. I'll figure out the rest."
…
Leaving the laboratory, Fang Heng began to think about where to get some God's Domain points.
God's Domain points are needed in many places in the game.
But there are very few opportunities left for him to farm God's Domain points.
No time.
He can only put it aside for now, there are more urgent matters at hand.
He will consider the problem of God's Domain points after he completes the level 40 promotion task.
After all, the opportunity is rare.
The ultimate move "Eternal Moon" that he has been waiting for these past two days has completed its cooldown time, and he is also waiting for the Federation to collect more sarcophagi.
The skill cooldown has now been completed, and with the help of him and Lu Yanlong, the Federation has collected a total of 9 sarcophagi.
Just enough.
For safety's sake, wait for the Federation to bring another one over tomorrow, and gather ten sarcophagi before taking action.
Now that he has the targeted poison gas provided by Qiu Yaokang, coupled with the ultimate move Eternal Moon, it shouldn't be a problem to wipe out a wave of leader-level creatures.
Even if he encounters an emergency, he has a skill cooldown reset potion as a backup.
Doing some mental calculations, tomorrow is a good day.
Take action as soon as possible.
Lest a long night breeds too many dreams.
Fang Heng was thinking about how to take action when he suddenly received an urgent communication message from Lu Yanlong via the Survival Radio.
[Lu Yanlong: Boss Fang, there's a bit of trouble with the sarcophagi here. If you have time, please come over as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you at the old place].
Something happened?
Fang Heng's heart sank.
Not good.
It's only been two short days since they accepted the sarcophagus transport mission, and the Federation has encountered constant problems.
First, the person in charge of the Entrusted Affairs Office expressed dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the players accepting the entrustment, asking them to speed up the transport of the sarcophagi and not allowing them to stay in the stone chamber for too long. Then, they started to frantically lower the price.
Many players were unwilling to suffer the Federation's arrogance and gave up the entrustment.
It was only because Fang Heng was not doing it for the entrusted resources that he endured it.
[Fang Heng: I'll be there soon].
Quickly replying, Fang Heng immediately returned to the Tomb game world.
…
Soon, Fang Heng returned to the Tomb world through the teleportation channel, transformed into a bat form, and came to a forest on the periphery of the medium-sized tomb guarded by the Federation.
On the edge of the forest, Lu Yanlong looked a little anxious, looking left and right, waiting for Fang Heng to return.
Fang Heng secretly restored his human form, walked along the path towards Lu Yanlong, and asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know what the specific problem is, but it feels very wrong."
Lu Yanlong said with a solemn expression, "The Federation's entrustment department contacted me earlier, and they have temporarily frozen our contract with the Federation, inviting us to immediately go to the medium-sized tomb to find Nasto and contact him, and cooperate with the Federation in a special investigation."
Fang Heng was stunned.
Special investigation?
What the hell is this?
Fang Heng frowned and asked, "Why? What kind of investigation is it?"
"The Federation didn't give a reason, nor did they explain what the specific investigation was. They only said that a big hidden danger was discovered when the sarcophagi were being inspected by the task department. The originally accepted entrustment has also been temporarily suspended, and they want us to go over immediately to cooperate with the investigation. Our Starfish Company has already been secretly inquiring, but there is no news yet."
"In addition, I also asked Nasto. He didn't say anything on the phone, he just told us to go over and meet him as soon as possible, saying that it was indeed a bit of trouble and that he had something to discuss with us in person."
Knowing Fang Heng's general plan, Lu Yanlong couldn't help but feel anxious and speculated, "Boss Fang, could it be related to the Federation's special mission? Have they already collected enough sarcophagi? So they're just making an excuse to perfunctorily dismiss us?"
"Indeed, that's a possibility."
Fang Heng looked towards the tomb entrance and pondered.
It is possible that the Federation has enough sarcophagi and doesn't need their assistance at all.
Of course, there is an even worse situation, that the Federation discovered a problem with the sarcophagi and the subsequent mission was shelved.
In either case, it is very likely that all the groundwork they did in the early stage would be wasted.
Fang Heng quickly calculated in his mind.
Not good.
Be prepared to take action now!
Cut losses in time!
"At least the Federation hasn't forcibly put us on the wanted list yet, so the situation isn't the worst."
Fang Heng shrugged, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Let's go, let's not guess here, we'll know when we go in and see what tricks they're planning to play."
