Chapter 140: Expansion? Full House!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
{Yan Lei: You guys are under attack too? D*mn it, what’s going on? My base was attacked by a wave of zombies this morning! ]
[Liu Yi: God! The one upstairs, me too! Why did these zombies suddenly appear?)
Uiang Fei: I can’t live anymore. The zombies I encounter every day are enough to annoy me. What’s there to live for? I’ve already moved. Everyone, hurry up and move. While we’re moving, we can still go to the prison to get some materials. ]
[Li Chao: The blood moon hasn’t arrived yet, and this is happening? How can I live? It’s not easy to survive in the forest.]
[Sun Rongyue: Recently, a large number of zombies have appeared in the forest. Have you noticed that? There are more and more zombies in the vicinity.)
An unfamiliar ID appeared in the group chat.
{Sun Feihu: Were they vine zombies? Were you all attacked too?]
Everyone in the conference room was overjoyed. They looked at each other.
They had taken the bait!
Liu Yi quickly compared the list and said, “Found it! It’s one of the nail households in the North District!”
[Liao Bufan: I can’t take it anymore. I’ll move tomorrow. D*mn it, it’s hard to stay in the forest! My friends are all enjoying themselves outside. It’s meaningless for me to suffer here.]
Fang Heng looked at the players’ acting skills and nodded to himself.
In these two days, Fang Heng had conducted a preliminary search of the entire forest area.
The forest area was too big!
Fang Heng directly bought motorcycles and bicycles from Vettel. He had the work studio members enter the forest area and spend survival points to conduct a range search to see if there was a player shelter.
Once they encountered a player shelter, they would immediately register and try to contact them to ask if they were willing to move.
It was beyond Fang Heng’s expectations.
There were more than 80 player shelters in the entire forest area!
In the end, there were still more than 20 nail households that were unwilling to move!
The good news was that these were all small and medium-sized buildings, and there were no large-scale player unions among them.
Most of the buildings were far from the prison, so it would be too troublesome for the zombies to demolish them one by one.
It would be best if they could spend some effort to persuade them to leave.
Fang Heng was going to spread the news that there were Tier 2 mutated zombies in the forest.
This would prevent players from running into the forest.
[Han Song: What are you afraid of? Just kill the zombies. I spent so much time building a shelter. Run away just because of one or two zombies?]
[Yan Lei: Brother, don’t say that. You can live a good life. Who wants to fight to the death? It’s better to move as soon as possible. These zombies are different.]
[Han Song: Bullsh*t. Ask them to find me if they have the ability! I’ll stay here. Do you want me to tell them the coordinates?)
[Su Qianxiao: Boss, you’re awesome! I think it’s strange too. Why are there so many unfamiliar IDs all of a sudden? I think they’re all fake, right? Where did the zombie attack come from?]
“Boss, it’s him. That kid was the one who clamoured yesterday!”
It was happening again! He didn’t expect that there were people who were not afraid of death.
Fang Heng sighed in his heart.
“This is what you asked for…”
Fang Heng murmured.
To make these people take the initiative to leave, it was not enough to just ‘lie’ to them, but also to intimidate them with zombies.
Yesterday, he met a few players who were talking nonsense. Fang Heng had already sent three batches of zombies to the nearest nail households to wait for orders.
He ordered the zombies to attack the shelter from afar.
(Hint: Your zombie group has begun to attack the player’s shelter.]
(Hint: Your zombies have caused damage to the shelter…]
‘The game log started to flood again.
Ten minutes later.
Three notifications appeared on the survival radio.
(Hint: A player in your area has died.]
(Hint: A player in your area has died.]
(Hint: A player in your area has died.]
Three people had died.
[Yan Lei: Han Song, it can’t be you, right? If you’re still alive, just say the word.]
The survival radio was silent.
[Yan Lei: Whether you move or not, I’m moving tomorrow. I can’t stay in this d*mn place for another day.]
[Su Qianxiao: Guys, I made a mistake. My shelter was almost torn down.]
[Zhang Yu: This place can’t hold any more people. All my hard work these past few days has been for nothing.)
Fang Heng patted Yan Lei on the shoulder.
“Well done. Keep up the good work! I’m going to do some missions in the next two days. I’ll be relying on you guys to persuade the other players to leave. Keep up the publicity.”
“No problem! Boss!”
Yan Lei and the new players nodded one after another and continued to work hard.
After this period of contact, although they did not say it explicitly, the new players had guessed that Fang Heng might have the ability to control the zombie crowd.
Before the players entered the work studio to sign the contract, they had already signed a confidentiality agreement, so they would not tell anyone about Fang Heng’s talent.
After leaving the second floor, Fang Heng returned to the underground shelter again.
The originally empty underground shelter was now filled with materials.
Iron nuggets, logs, coal mines and even the copper mine that had just been developed yesterday.
In the past two days, Fang Heng had spent most of his time travelling back and forth to the mine to transport the ores.
Every time he returned with a pile of ores, he would let the zombies carry them, and without thinking, they would throw them into the basement.
The basement was now a bit messy and crowded.
Fang Heng checked the reserve resources. He had finally gathered the conditions for the first expansion of the shelter.
“It’s time to expand.”
Fang Heng took out the blueprint of the system. After some operations, he reconstructed a new map of the basement area.
Just like before, Fang Heng did not plan to live in the shelter.
He divided the big warehouse into twelve different types, big and small.
These warehouses were enough to store a large number of resources as a strategic reserve.
“Done!”
(Hint: Scanning player’s customized shelter blueprint…)
For a player-built shelter, normal shelter expansion was limited.
Asmall shelter could be expanded up to 3 times, a medium-sized shelter could be expanded up to 5 times, a large shelter could be expanded up to 10 times, a giant-sized shelter could be expanded up to 20 times and a super-sized shelter could be expanded up to 50 times!
In addition, depending on the size of the shelter, the maximum amount of expansion each time would be different.
Ideally, if the maximum amount of expansion each time was achieved…
Some bored players had calculated in the forum that it could cover a medium-sized city at most!
‘The data was meaningless. In the later stages of the game, more resources were being needed to expand.
City-type shelters only existed in theory.
The Federation’s largest super-sized shelter had only been expanded eight times.
For the first expansion, Fang Heng chose to expand to full capacity.
He had collected so many resources so that he could expand his shelter to the maximum capacity!
[Hint: Player has chosen to expand on a custom scale. The player’s current shelter template is super large.]
[Hint: Refer to player’s blueprint (customized). Current expansion requires wooden plank*69,800, wooden frame*76,512, nails*13,891, iron nugget*700, small stones*26,671, firewood*87,111.]
[Hint: You have completed the first expansion of your shelter. The system has determined that your shelter can accommodate up to 50 players. If you exceed the capacity, your shelter will be more vulnerable to zombie attacks at night.
[Hint: Your shelter has completed one expansion and its current rating has been raised to 27.]
{Hint: Your shelter’s durability has been increased by 150%.]
{Hint: Your survival radio has been upgraded, your shelter’s attractiveness to outside survivors has been increased.]
(Description: You can now obtain more survivors per week. The highest level of survivors you can randomly obtain is C.]
[Hint: Your shelter can be reinforced with Tier 1(stone).]
(Description: You can use stones to reinforce your shelter, giving it extra durability.)
