Chapter 379: The Cutter
“Yes. I have a friend, and he is quite nice. When he knew that we were coming, he helped to clean up the area in advance, ” said Fang Heng with a smile, as if indirectly expressing his vast personal network.
Fang Heng walked along the passage. After more than ten minutes, he stopped.
By now, the smelly sewer environment had affected Wu Xingwen and the others a little.
Wu Xingwen covered his mouth and nose and asked, “Have we reached the end? ”
Fang Heng explained, “There are two routes that lead to the inside of the research institute. For the first route, another 15 miles beyond this wall and we can directly reach the research institute’s second basement. For the second one, we can also continue forward along the sewer. Ten minutes later, we’ll be able to see the ventilation duct that connects to the research institute. We can climb into the research institute through the duct. However, the ventilation duct is very small, and the internal passage is also very winding, so this route will be more time-consuming. ”
The environment of the sewer was harsh. Wu Xingwen did not want to continue staying in there, so he looked at Nie Feiran.
Understanding Wu Xingwen’s gaze, Nie Feriran pinched her nose and replied, “The maximum distance of a single teleportation is 20 meters. ”
She walked to the wall and pressed her hand on the wall. “The wall is made of ordinary stone mixed with metal alloy. Group teleportation through this material composition is possible. ”
“All right. Let’s teleport in directly. ”
Hearing that, everyone took out their guns and loaded their bullets. They checked their equipment and got ready for battle.
When everyone was ready, Wu Xingwen gestured to everyone.
“Three, two, one! Teleport! ”
Fang Heng felt a white light flash in front of him.
The next second, he found himself in the passage of the first basement.
Snap!
Chen Ziyang snapped his fingers.
The surveillance cameras in the nearby passage were simultaneously affected by the magnetic field, and they were instantly disabled.
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He gave Chen Ziyang a thumbs up. “This move is pretty cool. ”
“So-so, ” Chen Ziyang responded and took out his gun while wary of the surroundings.
There were no enemies in the passage that everyone had teleported to.
The infiltration was smooth beyond their expectations.
Fang Heng shrugged and consciously shrank back to the back of the team.
“Everyone, this is the best my friend can do. We’ll have to rely on you guys for the rest. I’m not good at fighting. Judging from the location of the spatial rift stabilizer, the time passage probably connects from the third basement or the fourth basement. We’ll start from the third basement and go through the floors one by one. ”
Wu Xingwen looked at Nie Feiran and asked, “Can we directly teleport to the next basement? ”
Nie Feiran drank a bottle of Red Bull that could quickly recover her mental strength and said, “Each teleportation will take 10 minutes. ”
“I suggest we don’t teleport. ”
“Huh? ” Everyone looked at Zhou Lei.
Zhou Lei had been frowning ever since he stepped into the research institute.
He explained, “I can sense that there are a large number of vampires in the lower levels. If we were to rashly teleport down, we would be surrounded by the vampires and be in a difficult situation. ”
“What do you suggest we do? ”
Liu Huiying suggested, “I can create a sealing formation that targets the vampires. We can lure the vampires into the inner part of the formation and activate the magic in it to trap them. We can use this to take down a large number of vampires. ”
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that.
The group of players gathered by the Federation seemed to be pretty capable.
However, he wondered, “Would I be recognized as a target by the sealing formation, too? ”
“All right. We’ll do as you say. We’ll split into two groups. I’ll bring some people to guard the entrance of the second basement-”
“Ah! ” Just as Wu Xingwen was assigning tasks, Fang Heng suddenly called out and interrupted him.
“What’s wrong? ” asked Wu Xingwen.
“I’m sorry. I think a few of my friends are calling me. I need to go into the ventilation duct to take a look. ” Fang Heng pointed at the ventilation duct beside him. “I won’t be of help here anyway. I’ll take my leave first. ”
Wu Xingwen frowned. He looked at the ventilation duct, unaware of what Fang Heng was up to. However, he had asked Chen Yu about Fang Heng in advance.
He heard that although Fang Heng would seem unconventional in going about tasks, he actually had deeper plans.
“Go and hurry back. ”
“Of course, ” Fang Heng agreed and skillfully slipped into the ventilation duct.
“Let’s continue. ”
The other players didn’t know much about Fang Heng, so they didn’t particularly feel his absence was a problem. Excluding Fang Heng, they quickly scattered to do their assigned tasks.
Liu Huiying and Zhou Lei worked together to set up a sealing formation against the vampires. Wu Xingwen took the remaining players to the entrance of the second basement and cleaned up the vampires along the way.
...
“The research institute has been infiltrated by the Federation. Parazon would probably discover them soon, right? I guess I’ll have them fight the vampires first. ” Fang Heng licked his lips and entered the sixth basement through the ventilation duct.
“Beep, beep, beep. Verification successful. Welcome back, Dr. Liu. ”
Returning to the laboratory in the sixth basement, Fang Heng felt uneasy and carefully walked to the command station of the cultivation pod.
It was time to see his luck.
Fang Heng took a deep breath and pulled himself together. He reached out and pressed the red button.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
In the cultivation pod, the orange-yellow nutrient solution was quickly extracted.
Three lines of game hints showed on Fang Heng’s retina.
“Hint: you have completed the cultivation of the Tyrant form. In total, there are 32 zombie clones (vine parasite) and 10 successful fusion transformations. ”
“Hint: the current zombie clones (modified Tyrant form, modified vine parasite) are considered abnormal. For each clone, you can spend 15 thousand survival points and 3 Tier 1 evolution crystals to completely eliminate the risk of unstable clone conditions and solidify the current fusion transformation status. ”
“Hint: after solidifying the clone, the clone will be able to maintain the Tyrant form and vine parasite fusion even in the situation of resurrection after death. ”
The doors of the cultivation pods opened at the same time.
The zombies that had failed to evolve melted into a puddle of meat. The remaining ten newly born Tyrant forms stepped out of the pods and stood in a row behind Fang Heng, looking quite imposing.
A total of ten Tyrant forms with heightened combat ability had been added.
Fang Heng secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his head to do some calculations.
“Wait. The math doesn’t add up. With 42 Tyrant forms, the success rate is 27% . In theory, I would completed 11.3 Tyrants. Damn it! There’s one less! ” Fang Heng muttered to himself about how his luck that day was not very good.
“I want to use points to complete solidification! ”
“Hint: you have consumed 150 thousand survival points and 30 Tier 1 evolution crystals. Solidification of completed Tyrant forms is done. ”
Fang Heng let the few Tyrant forms stay where they were, then jumped down into the hole in the floor that he had made before, entering the seventh basement again.
Clack.
As soon as he landed, the thick smell of blood once again stimulated Fang Heng’s nostrils.
Raising his head, he saw the first-generation meteorite still quietly soaking in the blood pool.
Fang Heng walked forward, took out the cutter from his backpack, and connected it to the portable diesel generator.
“Hint: 20 strength points are required to operate the stone cutter. Player has met the conditions for using the stone cutter. ”
