Chapter 265: Heterozygote

After confirming that the room was temporarily safe, Fang Heng walked to the console and picked up the booklet on the side of the console.
[Hint: You have obtained the operation manual of the laboratory’s central console.]
After roughly flipping through the operation manual, Fang Heng tried to check the mechanical equipment.
[Hint: It has been detected that you possess mechanical maintenance skills.]
[Hint: Current mechanical damage is 2%, the current repair success rate is 100%, cost: ordinary electronic components*3, wire*2, tool required: wrench.]
Fang Heng’s mechanical maintenance level had already risen to Level 17. During this period, he had the guidance of Victor, the master architect and master mechanic, and his maintenance skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
Chen Yu and the others stood by his side to protect him. They asked in a low voice, “How is it?”
“It’s not a big problem. Give me some time.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he waved the wrench in his hand.
A long channelling bar appeared above his head.
Two minutes later, the repair was completed. Fang Heng gently pressed the restore button.
“Buzz…”
The lights lit up in the room.
“It’s done.”
Fang Heng quickly controlled the main control panel and found the internal structure map of the research room. He projected it onto the electronic screen.
“This is the control room. Behind it is the research room. The special room where the first-generation meteorite is stored is behind the research room.”
[Hint: You have completed the fifteenth stage ring mission: Cave.]
[Hint: You have triggered the next stage main storyline ring mission-first-generation meteorite (team).] Mission name: First-generation meteorite.
Mission difficulty: ???
Mission requirements: Attempt to obtain the first-generation meteorite.
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the mission hint and swiftly controlled the platform.
“Click…”
With a soft sound, the door behind the main control room opened automatically.
“The room where the first-generation meteorite is stored has been destroyed. It can no longer be opened automatically through the central control.’
Fang Heng turned around and looked at the others.
“Our guess is probably right. Perhaps there’s something wrong with Dr Kevin’s research, causing the radiation to spread.”
“Shall we go?
Lucia had always been aggressive. She raised her gun and said, “If we can’t open it electronically, we’ll run over and open it manually.”
Eh… was she a little reckless?
MO Jiawei cast a questioning look at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng looked at MO Jiawei, then at the resurrection time of his Lickers and zombie clones.
“We have limited time. The longer we stay here, the stronger the radiation reaction will be.
“Be careful of the monsters that appear along the way. Let’s go!”
Alright! Let’s go!
Everyone raised their guns, passed the iron door and walked into the long pathway at the back.
At the end of the pathway, it was blocked by an alloy metal door.
The metal door was already distorted and damaged.
Fang Heng felt that something was wrong the moment he saw the door.
This kind of damage was more like the distortion caused by man-made explosions.
The alloy door did not completely block the entrance. In fact, due to the explosion, there were quite a lot of exposed gaps and they could barely squeezem.
Everyone quickly exchanged glances.
“I’ll go in and take a look.”
Lucia volunteered to go forward but was pulled back by Fang Heng who was behind her.
“I’m the commander for this operation, I’ll do it.”
As he spoke, Fang Heng turned sideways and squeezed into the cave entrance. The inside of the cave was very empty.
Fang Heng’s night vision was not very strong. He turned on his flashlight and used the light emitted by the flashlight to roughly sweep around the area.
The storage room where the first-generation meteorite was stored was a primitive cave that had not been completely built.
There was a deep pit in the middle.
“There’s no danger for the time being. Come in, everyone.”
Everyone outside the cave carefully stepped into the room after receiving Fang Heng’s message. One after another, they used their flashlights to illuminate their surroundings.
“Where’s the first-generation meteorite?”
“It’s in the pit.”
Fang Heng had just checked the internal structure of the cave from the computer in the main control room, so he explained it to everyone.
“The first-generation meteorite has an extremely strong radiation effect, so it is stored in the depths of the cave. Under normal circumstances, you need to be in the main control room to operate the equipment and pull it up from the depths.”
“Shh… look…”
Lucia suddenly noticed something, lowered her voice and pointed to the air.
What was that?!
Looking in the direction Lucia pointed to, Fang Heng’s heart palpitated.
A swarm of bats?!
Fang Heng was shocked when he saw the black creatures hanging upside down on the top of the rock wall.
No! They were the monsters that they saw not long ago!
They were more like a combination of bat and human, hanging upside down on the rock wall by the sharp claws that grew from their feet.
“Vampires…”
Zhang The’s face turned pale for a moment. He realized the seriousness of the problem.
“What?”
Fang Heng suddenly turned to look at Zhang The.
“Vampires.”
MO Jiawei covered his right eye and observed the creature on the top of the rock wall, narrating the information he got from his detection skill.
“The fusion of vampire and zombie corpse.”
“A heterozygous creature that is fused from the zombie virus and vampires. It
has strong climbing ability and short gliding ability. Different from ordinary zombie corpses, this creature possesses strong mobility and infection ability.”
MO Jiawei’s heart was pounding. He didn’t expect to meet such a hybrid creature here.
He continued, “This hybrid creature has most of the characteristics of zombies and vampires. Its weakness is strong light.”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately whispered, “Quick! Move the flashlight away, don’t agitate them.”
Everyone moved the flashlight away, not looking at the hybrid creature hanging high in the sky.
“Damn it! It must be Night Owl!”
Zhang Zhe clenched his teeth and cursed softly.
The Federation had received information before that Night Owl had made a
move in both the Vampire Apocalypse and Zombie Apocalypse worlds.
Connecting with the hybrid creature that he was seeing now, Zhang Zhe was almost certain that Night Owl must have made some kind of intervention in this world’s main storyline!
Fang Heng and Lucia looked up with their naked eyes.
In the entire cave, there were at least hundreds of vampire corpse heterozygotes at the top of the cave. There was also a huge heterozygote that looked like a high-level elite creature.
The only good news was that they seemed to be in a dormant state.
Fang Heng did not have the time to consider whether Night Owl was behind all this.
He had to think of a way to complete the mission and obtain the first-generation meteorite first!
He quickly came up with a plan in his mind and said in a low voice, “They are still in a dormant state. Don’t alarm them. We will get the first-generation meteorite and then evacuate.
Everyone nodded in unison.
Fang Heng swept his gaze across the surroundings and pointed at the manual valve at the side.
By turning the manual valve, he could lift the first-generation meteorite that was hidden deep underground.
Fang Heng made a gesture.
“I’ll open the valve. You guys help to cover me.”
After saymg that, he carefully walked toward the manual valve in the corner.
The others immediately found a cover at the back and were on guard.
Coming to the valve, Fang Heng reached out and turned the valve.
“Ka… Hua la la la…”
The sound of the mechanical chain being pulled was particularly distinct in the silent hall.
MO Jiawei secretly prayed in his heart that those vampire corpse heterozygotes at the top of the cave would not wake up due to the sounds.
Given his strength of up to 30 points, Fang Heng was able to turn the valve with ease.
Suddenly, Fang Heng heard a light click sound in his ear.
In the next moment, Fang Heng felt all the hair on his body stand on end..
