Chapter 452 - The Fourth Stage

Federation headquarters in District 7.

Everyone was silent.

Overnight, the five shelters under Federation in the White Horse River region were attacked by the fusion Tyrant forms and were utterly destroyed.

"This is the report from the headquarters just now."

The head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, passed down the file. He said in a deep voice, "Based on the images we obtained last night, we can now confirm that District 7 has entered the fourth stage in the game, the mutant worm form diffusion stage.

It was the high-level mutated zombies who attacked the shelter last night. They were a fusion of zombies and mutant worms."

While the commanders were reading the report, Xiao Changle continued to explain.

"The fusion mutant worm form zombie was modified according to the Nemesis Plan of the previous Meteorite Company. Its strength is close to Tier 5. In addition, the mutated zombie has a skill that is difficult for us to deal with. It can reproduce the mutant worms."

The picture on the big screen in the meeting room was switched to a photo of purple worms.

"As you can see, the fusion mutant worm form zombies can spread such tiny worms.

These worms are very dangerous. They can quickly infect the players in a short time. Due to their small size, they can even easily bypass the defensive settings outside the players' shelter and directly attack the players guarding inside.

This kind of attack mode is rather challenging to guard against."

As Kou Huai quickly flipped through the report, the veins on his forehead bulged.

It was the fourth stage of the game!

In the game's history, only one server had experienced the fourth stage, which was some game region that had been destroyed!

During the fourth stage, the entire server had been destroyed. The zombie apocalypse world had also completely disappeared, and all the players had died.

For some unknown reason, Federation had blocked all relevant information about that incident.

Because of this, information about the fusion mutant worm form zombie had always been confidential.

Kou Huai realized that the situation was difficult.

It had been a battle between him and Fang Heng.

Why was the entire District 7 going to be destroyed?

Especially this morning, he had received a total of eight calls from different superior departments.

Right now, the entire elementary game command post of the game world was paying attention to District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse.

This was the first time Kou Huai had received such attention from his superiors.

"Xiao Changle, you have explained in your report that theoretically, Cook Barn will be able to develop fusion mutant worm form zombies only after Scavenger Army developed to a certain scale. How could this happen now? Why have they appeared now, and we're suddenly on the fourth stage?"

Faced with the questions, Xiao Changle felt bitter.

He lowered his head and said, "This is not what the intelligence department expected."

Kou Huai took a deep breath and held back his anger. "So, Fang Heng paid so much effort to capture Dark Knights just to obtain mutant worm form Zombies?"

What else could Xiao Changle say?

Facing the questions that he could not answer, Xiao Changle decided to keep lowering his head constantly.

"I'm sorry. I can't answer you without the relevant information."

"So what the h*ll do you know? I think the intelligence department of Federation can be just abolished!"

Kou Huai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

The intelligence department of Federation was really useless!

Ever since he started to battle with Fang Heng, he had clearly had the overall advantage. He had thought he could crush Fang Heng with a single slap, but it turned out he was constantly fooled by Fang Heng!

In terms of intelligence, Fang Heng was always one step ahead of them.

Now, Fang Heng had already turned the tables.

He had even begun to think of ways to destroy District 7!

"Let me ask you, what should we do now? Is there any way to deal with those worms?"

"We are researching it currently." Xiao Changle lowered his head, not daring to look at Kou Huai at all. "I think we can use Dark Knights' strength to research the mutant worms and try to develop a vaccine that can target the mutant worms."

"How long will it take?"

Xiao Changle's head was even lower.

He did not dare to answer Kou Huai's question.

It would take at least a month, even under the optimistic estimation.

He was afraid that he would be instantly beaten to death if he answered this way.

"I'm asking you!"

"I don't know yet..."

...

It was about to get dark.

Osborne was in the fortress in the abandoned mine area that had been occupied by Scavenger Army not long ago.

He stood outside the door of the hall on the second floor underground, leaning against the wall and gently rubbing his temples.

Too many things had happened in the short 48 hours since the new leader took over Scavenger Army.

Fang Heng developed the warlord potion, attacked Dark Knights' branch, and found the secret box of Meteorite Company...

Last night, he even completed the research and development test for the fusion tyrant form.

Fang Heng had created too many miracles.

It felt like a dream.

Osborne was also forced to bustle about with Fang Heng all day long.

Until now, he finally had a moment to rest.

With a "ding", the door of the elevator at the end of the hallway opened. Ni Shengtao walked out with a delighted look. He walked straight to the hall.

"Is Boss inside?"

"Yes, he's in the hall," Osborne replied. "He did a test for the fusion tyrant form last night and just came back this morning. Then he has been staying in the hall. He told us not to disturb him unless it's an emergency."

Ni Shengtao was greatly surprised.

"What? The fusion tyrant form? Is it the modified Tyrant form experiment left behind by Mr. Cook?"

"Yes."

The fusion tyrant form was a great weapon left behind by Cook Barn.

With it, their Scavenger Army's strength would be significantly improved!

Ni Shengtao was excited and immediately asked, "How's he doing? How is the situation of the test?"

"Last night, he cleared a total of fourteen small and medium-sized shelters."

"Fourteen?!"

Ni Shengtao's eyes widened.

He even suspected that he had heard wrong.

How could the fusion tyrant form be so powerful?!

"Yeah, fourteen. The preliminary test results are perfect."

Osborne did not like Ni Shengtao's exaggerated reaction, even though he was also shocked when he had just heard this news.

Osborne continued to ask, "Why are you here? Anything to report?"

"Yes." Ni Shengtao slightly adjusted his excited mood. Then he continued, "I have to report something unusual to Boss. There has been a mutant worm attack in the nearby White Horse River region. Many survivors' shelters have been attacked by the mutant worms, almost all wiped out. Now, all the survivors' shelters are in a panic.

This is good news for us, isn't it? I've asked someone to test it. Just like the zombie virus, the members of Scavenger Army will not be attacked by the mutant worms."

Ni Shengtao's eyes flashed with excitement. "With this opportunity and Boss's newly developed fusion tyrant form, we can quickly expand our territory and occupy the White Horse River region."

Mutant worms? The White Horse River region?

Fang Heng seemed to have gone to the White Horse River region to test the fusion tyrant form last night, right?

Osborne was puzzled. He nodded and said, "I hope so."
