Chapter 188 - Blood Moon Project

Fang Heng felt that it would be inconvenient for him to stay in Pine City.
For example, the main storyline of the current mission could not be submitted directly, and the rewards could not be received.
He did not even know what the follow-up mission for Pine City was like.
“Yes, our people have safely evacuated.”
“The Dark Knights have suffered quite a blow in this operation. Captain Barker plans to rest for a period of time before heading to Pine City to investigate again. It is estimated that it will be two to three weeks later.”
“The player is temporarily on standby for this period of time. You can choose to accept some missions to increase the Dark Knights’ honor level.”
“Our internal department estimates are that the next time we accept a mission, we will have to enter the operating company’s Area S to investigate. We will think of a way to deal with the mutated spiders there.”
As he said this, Chen Yu let out a deep sigh.
“Sigh, a Tier 3 mutated creature. We only have two to three weeks left. I don’t know what to do.”
“At this stage, the pistols that we are using can barely deal damage to Tier 2 mutated creatures, and now they have enhanced to Tier 3…”
“Our District 8 is an anomaly. I don’t know why, but the process of triggering the mission is way ahead of the other servers.”
“I’m sorry, I’ve really caused trouble for you guys…”
Fang Heng quietly listened to Chen Yu’s sighs on the other end of the phone, and at the same time, he began to think.
The Federation predicted that the next mission would be to kill a Tier 3 mutated spider?
Thinking about it carefully, the Federation’s speculation was not without reason.
This mission had failed because of the nemesis’s interference.
Based on common sense, the next time they came, they would definitely have thought of a strategy to deal with the nemesis.
After that, the mission would most likely continue to explore Meteorite Company’s Area S.
If they wanted to explore Area S, they would definitely have to fight the mutated spiders head-on.
Fang Heng could not help but mutter in his heart.
What did this mean?
Why did he have to complete the mission in advance?
Fang Heng thought to himself, if he cleared the mutated spiders in advance and thoroughly searched Area S, would that count as completing the mission in advance?
Would it become very awkward the next time when the people from the Federation took a helicopter to Pine City?
“There’s one more thing, Fang Heng. Are you interested in the blood moon project? On behalf of the Federation, I would like to formally invite you to the blood moon project.”
“What is the blood moon project?”
Fang Heng frowned. This was the first time he had heard of this code name.
“Yes, this is a semi-public project of the federal government.”
“Its purpose is to save more important people during the blood moon. The people they are targeting are those who have made great achievements in various fields or have made significant contributions to the
Federation.”
“The Federation will do its best to provide them with protection in the game.”
Chen Yu explained patiently.
“The first round of the blood moon after the game opens is the most dangerous.”
“After joining the blood moon project, the Federation will provide you with a list of people. During the blood moon, the people on the list will move into your shelter.”
“Correspondingly, the Federation will also give a certain amount of subsidies to the major game guilds participating in the blood moon project.”
“The subsidies include funds, in-game points, resources and so on.”
Fang Heng understood.
He had also seen the data released by the Federation’s official website.
After the initial new server was launched, the death rate would rise sharply from the third day onwards, and then gradually flatten out.
Until the first round of the blood moon, the death rate of the players would reach a peak.
There were many hidden settings in the blood moon.
For example, under the blood moon state, the zombies would enter a berserk state, which would greatly increase their attack power, making it easier for them to sense the presence of the player.
Other than that, there was another very important point.
The more players gathered in a certain shelter, the more zombies would attack that shelter!
The death rate of the blood moon was high, and the Federation was racking their brains.
With these hidden settings, the Federation had no choice but to rely on the strength of the other gaming unions and gaming companies.
Fang Heng thought for a moment and asked, “How much time would there be before the first blood moon?”
Chen Yu sighed in his heart.
He thought that Fang Heng really didn’t care about the blood moon at all.
But that was also true.
With the strength of Fang Heng’s prison’s shelter, even if he went offline to take care of it, it would be easy for him to survive more than ten rounds of blood moon.
“10 days left.”
Fang Heng counted with his fingers.
10 days was a bit tight, so he might not have enough time.
He still had to stay in Pine City to farm monsters, so he might not be able to make it back to the shelter by then.
In addition, Fang Heng did not want too many people to know the secret of the shelter.
“Forget it, I won’t participate. It’s a bit too late.”
“Uh, well, I suggest you reconsider. If you change your mind, feel free to contact me.”
Chen Yu felt it was a bit of a pity. If it was Fang Heng’s shelter, it could help at least 50 people survive.
After hanging up, Fang Heng turned on his laptop and pulled out the video file from the game.
“Hmm…”
Fang Heng opened the video and started editing.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
After quickly taking care of the two zombies, Fang Heng knocked open the door of the room at the end of the corridor with his shoulder.
In the room, Victor, whose back was facing the door, suddenly turned around.
“Who are you?”
“Are you the one who sent out the distress signal?”
“That’s right, it’s me. Are you a member of the Dark Knights?”
“Bang!”
With a gunshot, Victor was shot in the head and fell in a pool of blood.
In the Express Hotel, Old Black looked at the video that he received in his private mailbox.
Throughout the whole process, the main character of the video did not show his face, only his back.
“Hehe, what an interesting guy.”
Old Black rubbed his chin and laughed dryly.
He turned on his phone and found Fang Heng’s number to call.
“Fang Heng.”
Fang Heng was still lying in bed when he picked up the phone.
When he heard that it was Old Black, he immediately woke up.
“How is it? Have you received the thing I gave you? When will you give me the reward?”
“Fang Heng, I admire you very much.”
“Huh?”
Old Black sat on the chair, and the mouse fixed the video on a frame, zooming in on him several times.
“Unfortunately, your skills are still lacking. You’re too inexperienced. It’s still a bit difficult to deceive the employer with this.”
Fang Heng covered his forehead and sighed. “Really? After all, I’m just a newbie. Actually, I think it’s still okay…”
Old Black asked in a deep voice, “Is Victor dead?”
Fang Heng had already prepared his plan.
“I don’t know. What you saw was the video of my first meeting with Victor. When I went back for the second time, the hospital building was already occupied by the zombie horde.”
“I can’t go into the hospital, but I think he might be dead.”
Old Black was silent for a moment.
He also got some information about Victor from his employer.
The information was consistent with what Fang Heng said.
But Old Black still couldn’t tell if Fang Heng was lying.
“Alright, I’ll take the ‘material’ you provided.”
Old Black paused and said in a deep voice, “But there’s one thing, I hope Victor won’t appear outside at all.”
“I promise he won’t.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Old Black’s lips.
Fang Heng agreed a little too quickly.
Judging from this, there was a high probability that Victor had already fallen into his hands.
This was also good!
If the situation was one-sided, it would be difficult for the middleman to make money.
Old Black hoped that this pool of water would be stirred up as much as possible..
