Chapter 27: Mission-collect Wooden Planks
Fang Heng was very greedy.
He wanted to build the shelter and also levelled up his character.
The mutated zombies in the basement were good stuff. If they were killed, they could get a lot of complete evolution crystals.
This was the golden opportunity to level up!
Fang Heng rode his mountain bike to the apocalypse merchant camp.
Yesterday, he cleared the prison square and Building No. 3. So far, he had accumulated 13,782 survival points.
"Hi, Fang Heng, we meet again."
Apocalypse merchant Vettel waved at Fang Heng enthusiastically.
"You're just in time. I have a new batch of goods here. How? Are you interested?"
"Really? What a coincidence!"
It was good that they were friendly with each other.
Fang Heng opened the merchant's hidden exchange page to check.
Oh?
Stun baton.
It was a powerful close-range weapon that could paralyze zombies.
It was a practical weapon, but unfortunately, it didn't work on mutated zombies.
Shotgun!?
This was good too!
Unfortunately, it was too expensive and the loading speed of the shotgun was too slow. It was barely enough to deal with one spider zombie.
There were too many spider zombies in the basement.
It was too dangerous.
Fang Heng checked the exchange column, but couldn't find a suitable weapon. He was a little disappointed.
"Do you have a powerful weapon?"
Fang Heng tried to explain.
"I want to deal with the spider zombie."
"Spider zombie... that thing is quite difficult to deal with. Let me think about it."
The apocalypse merchant pointed at his head with his index finger and thought for a while.
"I have a kind of compound adhesive landmine. It is quite effective, but it's hard to get. It's also very expensive. One of them costs about 3,000 survival points."
"No." Fang Heng shook his head. "I need an offensive landmine, not just for defence."
"I see. Then I think you'll be able to use this thing."
Apocalypse merchant Vettel took out a book from under the counter and opened it to one of the pages.
He pointed at one of the pictures.
"Focused flamethrower M-021. It can instantly shoot out focused, high-intensity flames. Zombies are most afraid of this."
"This is good stuff!"
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
He had an impression of this weapon.
In his memory, he had seen a video before. The players in the video used this kind of focused flamethrower to ignite the zombies one by one.
The high temperature was so high that even the mutated zombies couldn't withstand it.
The spider zombie didn't have a high HP.
"Its only weakness is that it can't be used for a long time. Otherwise, it will be damaged due to overheating."
Seeing that Fang Heng was interested in the flamethrower, Vettel continued.
"I don't have any stock here. If you order it, you have to pay 10,000 survival points first. I'll restock it in three days."
The merchant lowered his head and calculated for a moment. Very quickly, he gave a sky-high price.
"In addition, you still need fuel. Adding three bottles of fuel, you need a total of 2,620,000 points. What do you think of this deal?"
"Very good. Unfortunately, I can't afford it now."
Fang Heng spread his hands out in resignation.
"What mission do you have for me? I want to earn some survival points."
"I see. Then you can take a look at the missions here and see if there are any that are suitable for you."
Fang Heng opened the mission panel again.
Last time, because of the SSS-level mission, Fang Heng didn't have time to look at it carefully. He hurriedly accepted the mission and left.
Today, Fang Heng patiently looked at the mission panel.
Generally speaking, the missions provided in the mission panel were divided into several categories.
Clearing zombies, searching for items or people, collecting materials and exploring the regional environment.
Eh!?
Collecting materials!
There was such a mission?
Fang Heng's eyes lit up. He selected the keywords in the mission panel.
"Collect."
Mission name: Collect iron ore (repeatable).
Mission requirement: Collect 300 units of iron ore.
Mission reward: 600 survival points.
Mission name: Collect coal ore (repeatable).
Mission requirement: Collect 300 units of coal ore.
Mission reward: 600 survival points.
Mission name: Collect wooden planks (repeatable).
Mission requirement: Collect 300 units of wooden planks.
Mission reward: 600 survival points.
Eh! Wooden planks?!
Fang Heng saw something extremely exciting.
It was collecting wooden planks?!
There was no lack of wood in the forest environment!
His zombie toolmen were completely capable of making wooden planks 24 hours a day.
When the time came, he would sell the finished wooden planks to the merchants!
"I'm rich, I'm rich!" he thought excitedly.
"My heart is beating so fast. Could it be that I discovered a bug in the King of Gods' system?"
For a moment, Fang Heng even had the impulse to empty the apocalypse merchant shop!
"I want to buy a modified motorcycle."
"Okay, a total of 5,350 survival points. Do you need to buy some fuel?"
"No, thank you."
The modified motorcycle was in his hands!
Fang Heng rode the mountain bike and returned to the prison.
...
Liao Bufan and Liu Lin walked around Building No. 3 in the morning and carefully checked it to see if there was a dangerous breach.
The external wall of Building No. 3 was abnormally strong, without any signs of damage.
The two back doors of the building had been locked and sealed from the inside.
The only entrance and exit was the wooden door that Fang Heng placed last night.
Liao Bufan reinforced it three more times after the inspection to ensure that it had sufficient durability.
Overall, the defence of Building No. 3 was several times higher than the small cabin that they stayed in last night.
At that moment, Liao Bufan and Liu Lin were working together on the first floor to open the "blind box" to clear the zombies.
"Big Brother is powerful. He cleared the entire prison. I don't understand. How did he do it?"
Until now, Liao Bufan's mind was still full of question marks.
He couldn't understand how Fang Heng managed to clear the entire prison.
"I know."
"Huh? Why? How did he do it?"
"Hmph, but I won't tell you."
Liu Lin was in a good mood as she was about to move into a higher-security shelter. She deliberately tried to scare Liao Bufan.
"The more you know, the faster you'll die. Don't ask too much about Fang Heng's secrets, or you'll be silenced."
"Hiss..."
Liao Bufan gasped.
"The boss is that scary?"
"Yeah, of course. He's very scary. Otherwise, have you ever seen anyone who could kill so many zombies in just two days?"
"No, I mean, that one."
Liao Bufan pointed at the window beside him and signalled outside.
"What do you think those zombies are doing?"
"Zombies? Weren't they moving materials back and forth between the cabin and the prison?" Liu Lin thought.
She curiously went to the window and observed the situation outside.
On the prison square outside, nearly twenty zombies were divided into three groups.
One group was using wood to make wooden planks, while the other group was using wood to make wooden frames.
The last group of zombies disassembled the wooden frames into pieces of wood again.
The process went on and on, forming a cycle.
"Was the boss playing some games?"
Liao Bufan couldn't understand it at all. With a confused look on his face, he could only ask Liu Lin.
"What do you think the boss is doing?"
Liu Lin was confused as well.
"What were the zombies disassembling the frame and putting it back together?"
"What a waste of production capacity!"
Both of them turned their eyes to Fang Heng, who was sitting on the square with a silly smile on his face.
Liao Bufan scratched his head.
"Did Big Brother suddenly become dumb?"
Liu Lin glared at Liao Bufan.
"You really can't say anything nice, right? What good does it do for you if Fang Heng becomes dumb?"
Liao Bufan obediently shut his mouth.
It made sense. He was still counting on Fang Heng's long-term meal ticket!
Liu Lin looked at Fang Heng outside the window. She nodded and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
Could it be that he...
Could it be...
That he was trying to gain experience?!
