Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Jiawei was stunned. He immediately said, “Fang Heng, are you crazy?”
Xiao Jing’s eyes lit up. He took out a black notebook.
“The target has taken the initiative to stay in Pine City. It may be related to another mission.”
Fang Heng shook his head. He took out the mechanical badge that Victor had given him from his backpack and put it in Lucia’s pocket.
“You must ensure her safety! We’ll contact her again after we go offline.”
Mo Jiawei opened his mouth.
He was a little confused.
Protecting Lucia from Pine City while Fang Heng chose to stay behind alone?
What was he trying to do?
Could it be that everyone received different missions?
Without waiting for them to say anything, Fang Heng climbed down the rope ladder again.
“Let’s go first. Don’t worry about him. Fang Heng must have his reasons. Maybe he wants to use the nemesis to do something.”
Xu Bin nodded and signalled for the pilot to continue evacuating.
The helicopter rose quickly and flew in the direction away from Pine City.
After landing on the ground, Fang Heng quickly gathered at Barker’s location.
“Captain Barker.”
Hiding behind the cover, Barker was surprised to see Fang Heng return.
“Why aren’t you leaving yet? We need to evacuate this place immediately. You will go off first in the next helicopter.”
“Captain Barker, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”
Fang Heng hid behind the cover on the other side of Barker and said to him, “I’ve decided to stay here.”
Barker turned around and looked at Fang Heng in shock.
“What’s wrong with you?!”
“I’m serious.”
Fang Heng’s expression was solemn and brooding.
“| want to stay here alone to thoroughly investigate the Meteorite Company. I’ve already found out from Lucia about the secret passage to Area S.”
“But I need the help of the Dark Knights. After a period of time, I need you to help me leave Pine City.”
“Fang Heng, I understand your intentions, but can you handle so many mutated spiders?”
Wasn’t it just mutated spiders?
How could a mere Tier 3 mutated creature be a match for the Tyrant?
Fang Heng felt disdain in his heart, as if he had the pearl of wisdom in his hand.
“Of course, I have a way.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s affirmative answer, Barker was truly shocked.
He looked Fang Heng up and down again.
“What about the infection? Well, even if you have a way to deal with the mutated spider, what about the infection?”
Barker frowned and continued to persuade Fang Heng to give up the idea.
“Besides the high-level zombie corpses and the mutated spiders, the whole city is filled with poisonous gas. We can’t stay here for a long time.”
“Don’t worry, I’m prepared for this.”
After all, their shelter had an S-level researcher like Qiu Yaokang.
Fang Heng had brought a lot of anti-infection potions with him before coming here.
As he spoke, he threw a bottle of powerful anti-infection potion made by Qiu Yaokang to Barker, who was hiding behind a bunker.
“Look at this.”
Barker took the potion and quickly checked it. Then, he frowned and pondered.
After a moment, he compromised and threw the potion back.
“Alright, if you insist on doing this, I won’t object.”
“But you must take care of your own safety!”
Barker rummaged through his pockets and threw the remaining bottles of anti-infection spray in his backpack to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng gave Barker a thumbs up when he received the spray.
“Hey! Thank you!”
[Hint: You have obtained a powerful anti-infection spray*6.]
“When will we send a plane to bring you back?”
“Mo Jiawei and the others will tell you when they go back.”
Fang Heng turned his head and looked at the Tyrant who was fighting with the nemesis.
“Next, I’ll think of a way to stall the nemesis. You take all the Dark Knights and evacuate.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the short-haired female player on the other side.
It was unknown when, but Liu Keyi had already returned to the Dark Knights.
She was trying to climb up the rope ladder that the helicopter had lowered.
“And Liu Keyi, she was the one who ambushed the hospital.”
“Also, I suspect that the nemesis’s early awakening is also related to her. But for the time being, it’s better not to alert the enemy. Keeping her will still be useful later.”
“Yeah, that’s good too.”
Barker also glanced at Liu Keyi from the corner of his eyes and snorted in disdain.
“Then keep her for the time being. I’ll warn the other team leaders to be vigilant against her and find a reason to clear her honor points to zero.”
Awesome…
Fang Heng obediently shut his mouth and labelled Barker as a cynical person in his heart.
Not long after, more than half of the members of the Dark Knights boarded the helicopter.
They fired at the nemesis and the zombie horde from a high altitude, covering the retreat of the follow-up team.
“Bang!”
Fang Heng raised his automatic rifle and killed an ordinary zombie who was attacking from the side.
He turned to Barker who was hiding behind the cover and said, “The helicopter is here. You guys retreat first!”
“Okay! Take care!”
Barker nodded heavily at Fang Heng and gave the order to the last group of Dark Knights.
“Follow me! Retreat!”
ot long after, all the well-trained Dark Knights boarded the helicopter.
They didn’t leave directly. Instead, they hovered above and covered Fang Heng to kill the attacking zombie horde.
Fang Heng signalled to Barker’s helicopter and quickly returned to the weapons factory.
Seeing that Fang Heng had safely retreated, Barker ordered the helicopter to leave Pine City.
After entering the storage room behind the weapons factory, Fang Heng went into the sewer leading to the hospital.
Fang Heng knew very well that Tier 2 nemesis’s damage output was limited. She couldn’t kill the Tyrant.
Similarly, Tyrant’s damage output would not be able to do anything to the nemesis.
He did not know how long these two indefatigable creatures would fight.
On second thought, let them fight among themselves!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he might as well let the nemesis help him max out his dodging and blocking skills!
Now that he had the Tyrant form, the nemesis did not pose any danger to him.
He could do whatever he want in Pine City.
Staying here was definitely the right choice.
“Hehe, Pine City is filled with treasures!”
Walking in the sewer, Fang Heng’s face unconsciously revealed a smile.
The plan was being formulated…
At the Federation’s temporary command center.
Xu Bin’s personal image was projected onto the large screen in real time.
“Reporting to superiors, the Dark Knights have all been evacuated from Pine City.”
“Dark Knights’ Captain Barker has survived. The exact number of deaths is still being calculated. The mission has been confirmed to be completed and the rewards will be received later.”
Upon receiving Xu Bin’s news, the entire temporary command center was instantly filled with joy.
The staff of the temporary command center also stayed up with them through the night.
The main storyline mission was successfully completed!
The mission ended perfectly!
However, among the many people, Wei Guangling, who had been temporarily transferred to act as the operation consultant, was still sitting in his seat.
He was a little silent and his brows were tightly knitted.
Wei Guangling was an elite of the Federation in District 4. He had once participated in the main storyline mission in District 4.
The operation chief commander, Zhang Yuekun, noticed his expression.
“The mission has been completed. Why do you still look unhappy?”.
