Chapter 64: Evolution Completed

It was done!
It really could be done!
It was just spending more points!
Fang Heng was ecstatic.
“Consume! Speed up the transformation and remove the parasitic state!”
[Hint: You have spent 3000 survival points and 100 evolution crystal fragments to quickly complete the parasitic enhancement of the zombie clone.]
[Hint: Your zombie clone has removed all the negative states caused by the parasite.]
“Hiss Hiss Hiss!!”
The vines that were originally surrounding the zombie spread out.
The corpse vines lost their desire to attack the evolved zombie clone.
After the evolution, the zombie clone did not look much different.
However, if one looked carefully, one could still see that there were tiny sprouts faintly appearing under the skin of the zombie clone.
Fang Heng immediately opened the zombie attribute to check.
Creature: Zombie (clone).
Level: 9
HP: 1,078/1,078
Strength: 5.4
Agility: 4.9
Physique: 5.4
Will: 2.5
Perception: 7.5
Intelligence: 2.5
[Basic skills]
Skill: Zombie body.
Skill description: Activated passively. Not affected by most mental spells, not affected by most diseases and viruses, does not possess mental strength, does not possess mental strength, does not possess energy and has an additional 300% increase in HP. (Description: The zombie clone does not possess the ability to infect).
Skill: Corpse vine armour.
Skill description: Activated passively. The zombie clone will gain an additional 300% of basic HP, an additional 1% of maximum HP recovery rate per second and an additional 30% damage reduction upon receiving physical damage.
Skill: Corpse vine entanglement.
Skill description: When engaged in close combat, there is a chance to trigger the corpse vine entanglement skill, causing the opponent to enter an ‘entanglement state’.
Additional description: The successful judgement of entanglement and the judgement of escape are related to the basic attributes of both parties.
Additional description: After the judgement of entanglement is successful, the entangled target cannot move and the zombie can absorb the HP of the entangled unit every second.
Additional description: The HP absorbed is related to the basic attributes. (This effect is ineffective against non-living beings.)
“Awesome!”
The corpse vine entanglement and the corpse vine armour were undoubtedly extremely effective skills!
With the addition of the corpse vine armour and the original zombie skill, Fang Heng’s zombie clone now had a 700% increase in basic HP, a 30% reduction in physical damage and a 1% maximum HP recovery every second…
An explosive increase in HP! An explosive increase in resistance!
With over 1,000 HP and a 30% reduction in physical damage, even a shotgun would not be able to kill it!
There was also the corpse vine entanglement skill, a powerful weapon for close-range battle!
Even the weakness of the corpse vine parasite, the fear of fire, did not appear.
It was most likely eliminated by the King of Gods.
“What a huge gain!”
Fang Heng’s heart was burning with passion.
Perhaps the only problem was…
The process was too expensive!
Transforming a zombie clone required 3000 survival points and 100 evolution crystal fragments.
Fang Heng currently had 45 zombies, which meant that he needed a total of 4500 evolution crystal fragments and 13,500 survival points to complete the transformation.
As his level rose, he would get more zombie clones and consume more resources to complete the transformation.
But obviously, this money was well spent!
This kind of perpetual investment was worth it!
Coincidentally, there were so many zombies outside now. At most, he could just spend a little more time to accumulate more points to acquire the crystal fragments!
It was after three o’clock in the morning but Fang Heng was exceptionally excited now!
He turned three more zombie clones into vine zombie clones, using up all the survival points he had gained from killing zombies yesterday.
After the transformation of the zombie clones, the corpse vines lost interest in them and dropped them down again.
This was another great piece of good news for Fang Heng!
“In short, complete the mission first.”
Fang Heng said in a low voice. He handed a sample collector to the vine zombie clone, then controlled the zombie clone to slowly approach the corpse vine.
The zombie clone’s movements were stiff. It slowly walked forward, raised its hand and pressed the live sample collector tightly on the stem of the corpse vine.
Then, it pressed the red button.
“Hiss…”
A faint sound was heard.
The corpse vine moved.
The corpse vine shook a little, then quickly quietened down.
A slow-moving channelling bar appeared on top of the zombie clone’s head.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained a complete live corpse vine sample*1 through the live sample collector.]
Half a minute later, the zombie clone put away the sample collector and slowly walked back.
Fang Heng held the sample in his hand and looked at it.
[Hint: You have obtained a live sample of the corpse vine*1.]
[Item: Live sample-modified corpse vine.]
Description: A sample with high research value-modified corpse vine. There will be people who will be interested in this during the apocalypse (you can submit it as a mission item, or you can trade it with other players or NPCs).
[Hint: You can submit it to the mission publisher, Vettel, and increase the completion rate of the current side mission 1-obtaining a sample of the corpse vine by 100%.]
[Description: Currently, the live sample will only be counted as one completion rate reward. There will be no additional completion rate reward if you submit the sample multiple times.]
Fang Heng immediately understood when he saw the mission description.
He could only obtain a reward once by using the sample collector to obtain the sample, which was to increase the completion rate of the side mission by 100%.
In theory, the side mission could achieve a completion rate of more than 100%.
If he wanted to do that, he could only kill monsters to get samples.
Before this, he was able to kill the corpse vine infected bodies he encountered. Fang Heng couldn’t bear to kill these modified corpse vines.
Fang Heng controlled a few vine zombie clones to move the giant flower pot with the corpse vines to a corner of the laboratory.
These corpse vines were still useful!
As his level increased, Fang Heng would get more zombies. At that time, he would need to modified corpse vines to help increase the strength of his zombie clones!
After removing the flower bed of the corpse vines, the pathway in front of the laboratory was cleared.
Fang Heng walked forward carefully.
In the deepest part of the laboratory lay a big box.
The lid of the box was made of thick glass.
At first glance, it looked like a coffin.
There were many wires attached to the coffin, which was connected to the main control computer at the side.
However, the power to the computer had been cut off and it was currently turned off.
Fang Heng took a few steps forward and immediately stopped.
He had felt a strong sense of uneasiness from the first time he stepped into the morgue outside.
The uneasiness came from this coffin!
Fang Heng stuck his head out and looked into the distance.
Inside the coffin lay a strong man who was nearly two meters tall!
His face was pale and his skin had a strange greenish-grey colour. At first glance, he looked as if he was asleep.
Other than his greenish-grey skin and his extremely strong body, he was no different from an ordinary person.
He was the sleeping experimental subject, Alex!
Fang Heng instinctively didn’t want to get too close to Alex. He controlled the six zombie clones to walk to the coffin and lift the thick glass lid together.
“Crack!”
The glass lid was extremely heavy and when only one corner was lifted, a white mist that could be seen by the naked eye immediately escaped from the gap.
