Chapter 340: The Scavenger Army
Dusk.
In the bushes, several players from the Dragon Country Guild were trying to search for the traces left behind by Fang Heng.
Captain Han Bo reminded them, “Everyone, be careful! The president said that that person might come back again!”
“The other party is very strong and has some powerful close combat skills. You must be careful!”
“Work in groups of three. Don’t get too far apart. If you encounter any dangerous characters, shoot them!”
“Understood, Captain!”
After learning that four of their players had been attacked and killed by an unknown source, the Dragon Country Game Company immediately sent people to search the nearby area.
After asking in detail about the players who were killed, the Dragon Country Game Company first suspected Crimson Technology.
However, they quickly ruled it out.
Crimson Technology had recently gotten into quite a lot of trouble in Server 8. Now that they could no longer protect themselves, the probability of them coming over to cause trouble was very small.
“Who? Who’s there!”
While searching, Han Bo was alert and noticed something.
He stopped and raised his guns to aim at the bushes.
“Chi Chi Chi!”
Squinting his eyes, he looked over.
Suddenly, several red shadows flashed through the forest!
“Not good! It’s the Lickers!”
Seeing the appearance of the red shadows clearly, Han Bo was shocked!
The group of Lickers quickly flew towards him.
Han Bo hurriedly raised his submachine gun and aimed at the charging Lickers and pulled the trigger.
“Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang Bang!”
The sound of gunshots rang out!
When the other players heard Han Bo’s shout, they also raised their guns and fired at the front.
The average character level of the player team led by Han Bo was around Level 7. They had not reached the basic attribute of fully controlling the submachine gun.
Coupled with nervousness, their aims with the submachine guns were bad.
Han Bo quickly emptied a magazine, but less than one-tenth of the bullets hit the Lickers accurately.
The Lickers braved the barrage of bullets and instantly rushed in front of Han Bo!
“Whoosh!!”
The sharp claws slashed in front of his eyes, leaving a piercing sound.
What?!
Han Bo’s eyes reflected an indescribable fear!
Why were guns ineffective against the Lickers?!
At the moment of death, Han Bo’s mind went blank.
This was definitely not an ordinary Licker!
He really could not understand why the strength of the Licker was so much stronger than he had expected. Even the bullets from the submachine gun could not stop them!
Dozens of Lickers rushed into the player team, waving their sharp claws and killing crazily.
The gunshots stopped, and a faint sizzling sound came from the forest.
The Lickers lay on the ground, eating the players’ corpses.
Ever since they had learned the talent of vampires, the Lickers had developed the ‘bad habit’ of gnawing on the corpse’s blood.
They devoured the blood to increase their HP’s recovery speed.
Fang Heng walked out from the side, his gaze sweeping over the players from the Dragon Country Guild on the ground.
On the sentry tower on the second floor of the apocalypse merchant camp, seeing Fang Heng, Ai Lei slowly put down the sniper rifle in his hand.
His eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
A human who could control a Licker?
How did he do it?
Could it be that the information he said about the parallel world was true?
Fang Heng frowned. His sharp perception told him that someone was watching him in the dark.
He suddenly raised his head. His gaze pierced through the layers of obstacles and looked toward Ai Lei’s position.
“Such strong intuition.”
Ai Lei noticed that Fang Heng had discovered him, and his heart skipped a beat.
He put away the sniper rifle in his hand, and raised his right hand towards Fang Heng.
Fang Heng nodded at Ai Lei, and stepped into the apocalypse merchant camp.
...
“Fang Heng, I am a member of the Dark Knights, Ai Lei.”
Ai Lei was very young. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he held a toothpick in his mouth. He looked very casual and undependable.
“I’m very interested in the parallel world theory you mentioned. Why don’t you tell me again? This one is on me!”
As Ai Lei spoke, he pushed a glass of fruit juice towards Fang Heng.
Fang Heng did not touch the fruit juice and roughly described the trouble he had encountered in District 8.
“Simply put, the first-generation meteorite in our parallel world was damaged. I want to find the first-generation meteorite here.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s words, Ai Lei showed an interested expression.
“It’s an interesting story, Fang Heng. But unfortunately, I can’t do anything about it.”
“Why?”
“Because there’s something wrong with the first-generation meteorite in our world.”
Ai Lei spread his hands and explained, “A few years ago, we already realized that the first-generation meteorite might be related to the outbreak of the zombie virus, so we tried to find the first-generation meteorite.”
“At first, we did get the first-generation meteorite successfully, but unfortunately, due to an accident, there was some trouble with the first-generation meteorite.”
“What trouble?”
“It’s a secret.”
Ai Lei winked at Fang Heng and said, “I don’t trust you very much. What if you deceived me? I’m a professional, so I won’t reveal secrets related to the Dark Knights to the public.”
Fang Heng was surprised and looked at Ai Lei. “Then why did you come to see me?”
“After all, I happened to be passing by, so I thought I’d come to listen to your bragging. It’s like casual talk after dinner, you know what I mean?”
Ai Lei didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
Fang Heng said in a deep voice, “My space tearing device is from your Dark Knights. You can verify this with the Dark Knights to determine if the space tearing device has the ability to teleport to a parallel world.”
“I’ll ask around when I go back, but I can’t guarantee that everything you said is true. What if you plan to do something bad in your parallel world? There are too many swindlers these days. I have to be more careful.”
“I don’t have time to stay here for too long. How do you want me to prove my identity?”
“Hmm...” Ai Lei stroked his chin. “From what you said, you’re also a member of the Dark Knights in your server and have reached the rank of Colonel?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded.
“So you are very powerful?”
Ai Lei also had a lot of question marks in his head. He asked a series of questions.
“I saw what you did outside just now. Where did you get your ability to control the Lickers? Did you get it through the special plan of our Dark Knights? Or from the Meteorite Company? In your parallel world, to what extent can the Dark Knights control zombies?”
“It’s a secret.” Fang Heng looked at Ai Lei. “If you want to know the answer, you can exchange it with the information about the first-generation meteorite.”
Ai Lei was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, Fang Heng, I suddenly have a good idea.”
“You’ve heard of the Scavenger Army, right? Those guys who only want chaos.”
“Yeah, I know a little.”
Fang Heng had a deep impression of the Scavenger Army.
It was a villainous NPC organization that appeared in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse game.
