Chapter 354: Alert
How dare they steal from the Federation’s mines?
With a thought, Fang Heng immediately noticed the problem.
Something was wrong!
If they were caught stealing from the mines of a large guild, they would at most die. However, stealing from the Federation’s mines would be considered a crime! They would face the risk of being wanted by the Federation.
Why would they take such a huge risk to steal from the Federation’s mines?
Or could it be that there were some high-value minerals in the mines above?
Moreover, the Federation had done a good job protecting the mines. The reason why they were able to steal from the mines without making a sound was most likely because they had planted spies within the Federation.
It was too difficult for ordinary players to do this.
Fang Heng concealed the doubt in his heart and put on a joyful expression.
He put away the gold nugget and winked at Zuo Qing.
“Hehe, Brother, you’re too kind. Call me if you need help. I can help.”
Zuo Qing patted Fang Heng’s shoulder and said, “We can make money together. I’ll call you if I need help.”
“Okay, I’ll go there for a walk.”
Zuo Qing frowned. He didn’t want Fang Heng to stay outside, so he said, “It’s not convenient outside. Come back with me.”
“It’s okay. I’ll be back soon.”
Seeing that the time for the zombie clone’s rebirth was almost up, Fang Heng prepared to go and settle the zombie clone first.
“That’s good. Be careful. Don’t go too far.”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng turned and took two steps forward. Suddenly, he heard the sound of air being cut behind him.
“Bang!”
Zuo Qing, who had launched a sneak attack, was shocked.
Fang Heng grabbed Zuo Qing’s right wrist with one hand.
The iron rod stopped in mid-air.
Zuo Qing instinctively wanted to pull his arm back, but he found that his right hand was tightly held by Fang Heng.
How could it be?
Zuo Qing’s heart instantly stirred up a storm.
His level was already Level 9. He had also learned strength training skills and special equipment with the strength attribute. His strength points had already reached a terrifying 10.7!
How could an ordinary player be so much stronger than him in terms of strength!?
In the next moment, Zuo Qing realized that a huge fist was coming towards him.
“Bang!”
Zuo Qing’s chest was hit by Fang Heng’s fist!
“Crack crack...”
Zuo Qing heard the sound of his ribs breaking, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.
“Bang!”
He flew three meters away and landed on his back on the ground.
His survival instinct made Zuo Qing struggle to straighten his body and stare at Fang Heng.
He felt as if his chest had been hit by a big rock and it hurt terribly.
“You are definitely not an ordinary person. Who are you?”
“I refuse to answer.”
Fang Heng chuckled and walked toward Zuo Qing.
“I should be the one asking the questions. Who are you? Who asked you to do this?”
“Don’t come over!”
Zuo Qing gritted his teeth. Because of the pain, his forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat!
Seeing Fang Heng approaching, Zuo Qing immediately took out a shotgun from his backpack and aimed the muzzle at Fang Heng.
“I told you to stay where you are!”
Zuo Qing did not want to shoot.
At night, the gunshots would attract the attention of the nearby Federation shelter and disrupt their mining plan.
Fang Heng also stopped and stared at Zuo Qing.
At such a close distance, Fang Heng believed that he did not have a 100% chance of successfully avoiding the range of the shotgun.
For a moment, both of them froze on the spot.
Zuo Qing’s throat rolled.
He was about to say something when a mechanical alarm sounded around the shelter.
“Alert! Alert! Alert!”
“Shelter is on Tier 1 alert! All non-combatants, please remain in the room!”
“Alert! Aert!”
Fang Heng and Zuo Qing were shocked when they heard the alert!
They turned their heads to look in the direction of the shelter.
Zuo Qing was extremely shocked.
It was an alert issued by the Federation’s shelter.
Could it be that the theft of the mine was exposed?
“Did you do it?”
Zuo Qing turned his head and stared at Fang Heng.
His chest hurt so much that he gritted his teeth every time he said a word.
“Who are you?”
Fang Heng looked at Zuo Qing and shook his head. “No, it has nothing to do with me.”
Zuo Qing’s eyes flashed with surprise.
The next moment, he saw several strange red alchemy magic arrays appear under Fang Heng’s feet.
The magic arrays spun rapidly.
“Chi! Chi Chi!”
Several red shadows suddenly darted out from the magic arrays, leaving a series of rustling sounds in the air.
What the hell was that!
Zuo Qing was shocked.
With just a thought, the red shadow that darted out from the magic array had already approached Zuo Qing.
It was the Licker!
Zuo Qing recognized the red creature!
The Licker reflected in his eyes zoomed in quickly!
At the critical moment of life and death, Zuo Qing pulled the trigger without hesitation.
“Boom!!”
The charging Licker was hit head-on by the shotgun.
The huge impact caused the Licker to fall back.
However, the remaining two Lickers pounced on Zuo Qing at an even faster speed, one on the left and one on the right.
“Chi!!”
The sharp claws cut Zuo Qing’s head.
[Hint: You have killed a player. You have received guillotine skill experience points +12.]
Dead.
Fang Heng glanced at the corpse on the ground.
The magic arrays continued to revolve beneath his feet and 35 Lickers crawled out of the magic arrays one by one.
The surrounding muddy ground also began to churn.
Rotten palms stretched out from the ground.
This time, Fang Heng only controlled a total of 100 vine zombies to commit suicide and enter District 5.
Fang Heng walked to the corpse and confiscated Zuo Qing’s shotgun.
After thinking for a while, he took off the mask that Zuo Qing wore on his face.
“Chi Chi Chi...”
Lickers swarmed over crazily and gnawed at Zuo Qing’s corpse.
Fang Heng stood still and looked in the direction of the mining area not far away.
The players who had been moving the ore boxes down from the mountainside immediately left the boxes on the spot when they heard the alert, scattering like birds and beasts.
Teams of well-equipped Federation players came out of the shelter, driving motorcycles and trucks toward the mining area.
In the temporary shelter he had just stayed in, a few familiar players also ran out and fled for their lives in the dark.
Fang Heng thought for a moment.
He felt that this matter was not simple.
In order to hide his identity, he put on Zuo Qing’s mask.
First, he wanted to see what was in those boxes!
Fang Heng walked toward the temporary shelter hut at the foot of the mountain.
When he arrived in front of the hut, Fang Heng found that the door of the hut was locked by a chain.
To save time, Fang Heng aimed the shotgun at the wooden door around the chain.
“Bang! Bang Bang!”
With a few gunshots, the shotgun blew a hole in the wooden door.
Fang Heng raised his fist and smashed the door into pieces.
He pushed the door open and entered.
There were more than ten boxes in the room.
Fang Heng walked to one of the boxes.
“Ka...”
He opened the box and a faint blue light shone out.
Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed into slits.
Crystal?
The crystal was emitting a faint blue light.
Blue crystal raw ore?!
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He picked up a crystal and examined it.
Item: Blue crystal raw ore.
Level: Normal.
Description: A special ore that contains powerful energy. It seems to require special smelting to activate this energy.
Is it really blue crystal raw ore??
Fang Heng exclaimed in surprise.
The box was actually full of blue crystal raw ores!
