Chapter 333: Vines
Under the zombie wave, the zombie horde had an additional hatred for the player’s faction shelter and faction leader.
The one-eyed zombie gave up on the sentry tower in front of it, changed its target and strode toward Fang Heng.
“It’s taken the bait...”
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
He held his breath and focused, then aimed at the one-eyed zombie and pulled the trigger again.
“Bang!”
The one-eyed zombie had extremely high HP. It resisted Fang Heng’s attacks and moved forward step by step.
Yu Jie’s voice was heard through the communication device hanging by his ear.
“Fang Heng, Pan Jinwen, a one-eyed zombie has appeared in Position C. It has caused a lot of damage to the defensive building. We need to think of a way to lure it away!”
Fang Heng turned his head to look in Area C’s direction.
A newly spawned one-eyed zombie was destroying the defensive building in Area C.
Fang Heng immediately controlled the other three Tyrant forms to chase after the newly-spawned one-eyed zombie, trying to temporarily hold them back.
“Fang Heng, be careful! It’s coming towards us.”
Pan Jinwen nervously swallowed his saliva.
The one-eyed zombie that was attracted by Fang Heng’s sniper rifle was about to walk past the hole in the ground.
Fang Heng suddenly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the one-eyed zombie.
“Chi... Chi... Chi...”
At that moment, the intertwining vines under the one-eyed zombie’s feet suddenly moved. They extended upward at an extremely fast speed, wrapping around the one-eyed zombie’s ankle in an instant!
The one-eyed zombie was striding forward. Its right ankle, which was about to move away, was unable to break free from the vines for a moment. Its body swayed slightly.
The one-eyed zombie wasn’t in a good state of mind. Before it realized what was happening, the vines under its feet tightened and contracted rapidly.
“Squeak, Squeak...”
The vines were pulled to the limit!
Under the huge pulling force, the one-eyed zombie couldn’t maintain its balance for a moment. It fell to the ground and was quickly dragged into the pit.
“Bang!”
The one-eyed zombie fell heavily to the bottom of the pit.
The seven crystallized worms in the pit were on a massacre. Seeing the new one-eyed zombie, they immediately pounced on it and started biting it crazily.
“Roar!”
The one-eyed zombie was in pain and was furious. It waved the bone club in its hand and struggled.
“What... What was that just now?”
Everything happened too fast. Pan Jinwen, who was standing next to Fang Heng, was shocked.
What the hell was that?
Vines?
Pan Jinwen rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
The ground around the pit was covered with a layer of light-colored vines. Half an hour ago, these things were not there.
Were these vines part of his plan?
Pan Jinwen took a deep breath and looked at Fang Heng with lingering fear.
He felt that Fang Heng was unfathomable.
“That’s right, vines.”
Fang Heng also let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that he had succeeded.
He had indeed made double preparations in advance and gathered more than 300 vine zombies in the second layer of the pit.
The vine zombies had extended the vines and covered the ground outside the pit.
As long as a high-tier zombie passed by, the vines would jump out and tie it tightly, dragging it into the pit and leaving it for the crystallized form to eat.
To do this, Fang Heng needed to focus on controlling them, which was very exhausting.
“The plan succeeded. This is the second one. Come and help me lure the one-eyed zombie to the pit.”
After succeeding, Fang Heng raised his head and drank a bottle of Red Bull. His eyes swept across the battlefield again, searching for the next one-eyed zombie.
“Okay!”
Seeing that, Pan Jinwen’s fighting spirit soared. He responded and raised his long-barreled shotgun, aiming at the one-eyed zombie in the distance.
...
“The fourteenth one.”
“The fifteenth one!”
“The sixteenth one...”
Fang Heng said in a low voice.
Half an hour later, the last zombie was tied up by the vines and dragged into the bottom of the pit.
“Done! Let’s go and take a look.”
Seeing that all the one-eyed zombies had been cleaned up, Fang Heng immediately jumped down from the sentry tower and ran toward the pit not far away.
The angle of the sentry tower wasn’t very good, so Fang Heng couldn’t see the bottom of the pit clearly.
Coming to the edge of the pit, Fang Heng lowered his head to observe the inside.
The crystallized bodies of the worms were in a bad condition. The crystallized armour on their bodies had been broken into many pieces, and traces of red blood were oozing out.
But in comparison, the one-eyed zombies were in a worse state!
Most of the 16 one-eyed zombies had been devoured, and the last three were still fighting back, using their huge bone clubs to hit the crystallized worms.
The crystallized worms still had the upper hand!
Every bite they made could take away a large piece of flesh from the one-eyed zombies.
On the other hand, the one-eyed zombies’ bone clubs seemed to be very heavy, but they didn’t seem to be able to cause fatal damage to the crystallized worms.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and observed, thinking that it was terrifying.
The strength of the crystallized worms was beyond imagination. They had the upper hand in the fight against the one-eyed zombies!
Although it looked miserable, its vitality was still strong.
After devouring the blue crystal ores and the flesh of the one-eyed zombies, the few crystallized worms had a faint layer of purple under their skin.
It was a sign that they were about to evolve.
If they continued to devour, they might level up to Tier 6 crystallized form!
“Fang Heng, what’s the situation?”
Pan Jinwen caught up with them. As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked down at the bottom of the pit. Seeing the crystallized worms tearing at flesh and blood, he immediately felt his scalp go numb.
“It’s grown big enough. I’m afraid it won’t be able to eat any more...”
Fang Heng didn’t waste any more time. He immediately controlled the vine zombies in the second basement and poured the special sulfuric acid solution into the pit.
“Splash...”
More than ten barrels of sulfuric acid solution were poured down from the sky.
The special sulfuric acid solution was modified by Qiu Yaokang, and it was more effective against the crystallized armour of the worms!
“Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!”
The sulfuric acid solution fell on the body of the crystallized forms and white mist immediately rose from their bodies.
The dark red crystallized armour on the outermost layer of the crystallized form was rapidly corroded, showing a burnt black colour.
The crystallized worms felt intense pain!
They struggled on the ground and kept rolling.
However, the more they rolled, the more the sulfuric acid solution splashed out and accelerated the corrosion speed of the crystallized armour!
The survival instinct made several crystallized worms try to climb up the stone wall.
“Want to run?”
Fang Heng snorted in disdain.
More sulfuric acid mixed solution poured down from the high ground!
It splashed toward the crystallized worms that were trying to escape up the stone wall.
The crystallized worms were drenched by the sulfuric acid and immediately fell down from the stone wall, struggling even more painfully.
“Chi Chi Chi...”
Instantly, white mist visible to the naked eye rose from the cave entrance!
“Fang Heng, how’s the situation on your side?”
Yu Jie was very nervous. As he commanded the players of the shelter to deal with the zombie wave, he would occasionally use binoculars to stare at the entrance of the deep pit.
Seeing the mist rising from the hole, he could not help but feel uneasy.
“Not bad, everything is going well.”
Fang Heng replied.
When the mist had dispersed a little, he lowered his head and continued to observe the hole.
