#2152 - Embezzlement
“It's still the same thing, time is running out, think carefully.”
As he spoke, specks of spatial crystals condensed around Ji Haiting and his entourage of guards.
“Shua!”
In an instant, light flashed, and Ji Haiting and his entourage disappeared through spatial warp.
Fang Heng glanced at the back of the metal door, then turned to look at the researcher Aidolard, who was covering his ears and hiding in the corner of the staircase.
Aidolard felt bitter inside.
What the hell!
What did he just see?
The company chairman chatting and laughing with Fang Heng, embezzling from his own company?
God!
I'm going to die!
Aidolard saw Fang Heng's gaze and immediately shook his head repeatedly, "Huh? What? What did you just say? I'm deaf, I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything!"
“Stop talking nonsense, get up and lead the way.”
When Aidolard saw Fang Heng's face turn cold, he immediately felt a chill rise from his spine, rushing straight to his head. He quickly scrambled up from the ground and led the way into the opened passage ahead.
Soon, Aidolard led Fang Heng to Secret Research Laboratory No. 3.
“Bang!!”
The glass wall shattered suddenly.
Fang Heng continued to walk to the side of the experimental table and reached out to touch the stone.
A game prompt appeared.
[Hint: Player obtains item - Niamh Alloy].
[Hint: Player does not possess the relevant skills to analyze this metal alloy. Analyzing this item requires at least LV: 550 Laboratory].
Shua.
The metal stone was placed into the backpack and disappeared.
[Hint: Player obtains Niamh Alloy * 2].
[Hint: Giving this item to the Tree Spirit race can obtain the Tree Spirit race's favor and a large number of camp contribution points and Tree Spirit race contribution points (it is recommended to choose this task route to greatly reduce the task difficulty and improve task completion efficiency)].
“Done!”
Got the Niamh alloy before the Tree Spirit race!
As for what's next…
Fang Heng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, glanced at the game prompt that flashed by, and pondered for a few seconds.
Currently, the Tree Spirit race outside is still fighting with the Wanling Technology Company and the Federation inside the research institute.
The Tree Spirit race doesn't know that he has secretly entered the research institute and obtained the Niamh alloy.
However, they will naturally discover the anomaly when they come here later.
So…
Fang Heng couldn't help but look at Aidolard behind him.
“Hey, Aidolard.”
Aidolard's body immediately tensed up.
“Are there only these two pieces of Niamh alloy?”
“Yes, I heard my colleagues mention that the Niamh alloy is very rare. Don't underestimate these two small pieces of wreckage, the company spent a lot of effort to get them from the kindred.”
“Okay,” Fang Heng curled his lips and asked casually, “What is Ouroboros?”
Aidolard was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he didn't expect Fang Heng to suddenly ask a completely irrelevant question. After reacting for a moment, he replied, “I'm not very clear. I've only seen a little information. It is said to be a special race that has not been verified.”
“Race…” Fang Heng muttered to himself, and asked, “What about the specifics?”
“This race inherently carries a characteristic of disaster. According to the kindred, the appearance of Ouroboros represents the arrival of a natural disaster. After Ouroboros appears, 99% of the species in the world will be destroyed because of them. After that, the Ouroboros race will disappear, and the spirits of the world will be revived once again. According to legend, Ouroboros is a snake that goes around and around, symbolizing the reincarnation of the world.”
Fang Heng touched his chin and frowned.
That's strange.
Ouroboros represents an unknown race?
Then how is it related to me?
“What about the detailed information on Ouroboros? Is there any in the research institute?”
“The relevant information is A-level confidential. It's usually possible to get it, but all the information was automatically cleared when the research institute was attacked before. You won't find it here.”
Aidolard shrunk his neck as he spoke, “If you need it, you can try your luck on the black market. Although there is very little information about Ouroboros, it is not considered highly confidential.”
“Okay, one last thing. After you're done helping me, find a place to hide. You don't need me to teach you what to say and what not to say.”
“What is it?”
“Wait, you disguise this place a little. Remember…”
As Fang Heng spoke, he leaned over and whispered a few words in Aidolard's ear.
“Ah, you…”
Aidolard looked at Fang Heng, feeling very suspicious in his heart.
He has already taken the Niamh alloy, so what's the point of disguising it? Does he really think their Wanling Technology Company is stupid?
“Hurry up!”
Hearing this, Aidolard felt another chill run down his back and quickly ran away in a puff of smoke.
Fang Heng looked in the direction where Aidolard ran away, closed his eyes in place, and sensed the Licker group and the worm life forms inside the research institute.
Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng immediately made a judgment.
Leave first!
…
Outside the Central Research Institute.
Fang Heng once again left the research institute through the secondary space projection.
Outside the research institute, the Licker group was still dealing with the Federation's large war machines that occasionally arrived on the battlefield through spatial warp.
A large number of Lickers kept pouncing on the war machines, using their flesh to withstand the bombardment of beam weapons, forcibly scratching the war machines and causing damage.
Fang Heng glanced at the game prompts that were constantly refreshing.
[Hint: Player's zombie clone (fused Licker form) deals 1244 damage to the large war machine (spider-shaped armor V-88)…].
[Hint: Player's zombie clone (fused Licker form) destroys the large war machine (spider-shaped armor V-88), obtaining 73 Tree Spirit race contribution points].
[Hint: Player's current task - Clearing War Machines completion rate increased to 52%].
Not bad.
Fang Heng was a little grateful.
Fortunately, he modified the protomorph form of some Lickers before entering the Wansen Realm, strengthening the Lickers' output, otherwise, there really wouldn't be a good way to deal with these iron cans.
As the warp light spots around the research institute continued to accelerate and emerge, the speed at which the war machines appeared became faster and faster.
Relying on the Licker group can still last for a while.
Thinking about it carefully, he can still farm the Tree Spirit race's task contribution points for a while longer.
It's just that now, Fang Heng has given up hope of increasing the Tree Spirit race's favorability.
Looking towards the back.
The Tree Spirit race has now firmly occupied a circle of entrances and exits outside the research institute.
A large number of treants outside cannot enter the research institute area due to their size, so they can only stay outside to deal with the war machines that the Federation subsequently teleports over.
