Chapter 409: Dilemma
Seeing the slight change in Fang Heng’s expression, Ai Lei said in a low voice, “Fang Heng, by any chance, did you accidentally offend someone? ”
Fang Heng nodded, thinking that he had offended quite a number of people.
“Yeah, that’s right. ”
If he only had some guesses earlier when he was ambushed, then Fang Heng confirmed them presently.
Be it at the beginning when his supply of medicinal ingredients was cut, the moment his transportation team at the foot of the mountain was attacked, or his declined friendship with the Dark Knights, there was only one suspect that came to mind.
“It’s the Federation! They’re also secretly intervening. ”
Fang Heng originally thought that his relationship with the Federation was quite good. In addition, the Federation had always announced to the public that they welcomed all the major gaming unions to participate in friendly competition, so Fang Heng did not think that the Federation was doing something behind the scenes.
“Old Black was right about the Federation often resorting to underhanded tricks. They’re really shameless. ” A flurry of thoughts filled Fang Heng’s mind. “Regardless, with the main storyline being so attractive, it would be a wonder if the Federation was willing to back off so easily. ”
Having been tricked, Fang Heng instead felt his fighting spirit surge.
However, since the Federation had clearly made a move against him, he had to get rid of Cheng Ya and the two other spies.
“What are you thinking about, Brother? “Ai Lei patted Fang Heng’s shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. I’m on your side. If there’s any news, I’ll immediately tell you. ”
“Thanks! ”
Fang Heng continued to focus on the main storyline.
With the cart and Tyrant forms, it was much easier to move the medicinal ingredients.
The Tyrants repeatedly went to and fro the mountainside to move the boxes containing the medicinal ingredients back to the foot of the mountain. The medicinal ingredients from the Scavenger Army at the foot of the mountain were then transported back to the headquarters via the large trucks.
Originally, Fang Heng was optimistic that he would be able to complete the transportation of the medicinal ingredients in one night.
Unfortunately, he had lost five large trucks in the previous ambush, so the transportation efficiency was greatly reduced. He estimated that he might not be able to complete it in one night.
Fang Heng turned his head and asked, “Ai Lei, do you still have any large trucks here? How about lending me more? ”
...
Late at night, the Zombie Apocalypse’s District 7’s headquarters was brightly lit.
They had failed!
Kou Huai looked back and forth at the situation report submitted by Tao Yunlei.
“Zombie team? Hundreds of Lickers? More than 20 Tyrants? It wasn’t an ordinary zombie team but instead a team of specially enhanced zombies with combat strength surpassing that of their ordinary counterparts. The small team of players formed by the major game guilds of District 7 were more or less unable to retaliate and collapsed at the first touch. ” Seeing the lines in the report, Kou Huai felt his heart sink slowly.
The sniper operation was planned by him from behind the scenes.
Not only did it not succeed, but it also caused a loss of many elite players from the major game guilds in District 7.
Kou Huai clenched his fist lightly.
The more he knew about Fang Heng’s strength, the more uneasy he felt.
Based on Fang Heng’s current strength, it would be difficult for the players from the game guilds of District 7 to contend with him.
Kou Huai kept tapping the table with his fingers, making rhythmic sounds.
The guard, Ah Chen, stood to the side in fear.
He knew that the finger-tapping was Kou Huai’s habit.
Every time Kou Huai made an important decision, he would make such a small move.
After a while, the tapping stopped.
“Ah Chen. ”
“Yes! ”
“Zombie Apocalypse’s District 7’s player Fang Heng has violated the Federation’s regulations and joined the Scavenger Army in the game... ”
Kou Huai thought for a while and continued, “I hope Fang Heng can immediately withdraw from the Scavenger Army. The Federation will consider the contribution Fang Heng made in resisting the anti-federal organization when dealing out the punishment. That’s the general idea. Ask someone to draft a statement and send it out. ”
“Yes! ”
Kou Huai took a deep breath.
After all, Fang Heng had just entered District 7, and his foothold was weak.
After years of hard work, District 7 of the Federation had already gained more than 90% of control over the Dark Knights.
After the statement had been issued, Fang Heng had two choices.
First, he could choose to withdraw from the Scavenger Army.
That way, Fang Heng’s main storyline would be halted. Relying on his considerable foothold within the Dark Knights, Kou Huai was confident that he could completely isolate Fang Heng from the main storyline!
Even if Fang Heng chose not to withdraw, it was fine.
That way, District 7 of the Federation would have a legitimate reason to take action against Fang Heng.
...
Bringing the first batch of trucks filled with medicinal ingredients back to the central square of Edge Creek Town, Fang Heng noticed that the army led by Roche had returned in complete victory.
During the day, not only did Roche beat up the members of Leftway Gaming Guild, but he also took down three survivors’ shelters in a row.
Presently, Roche was in the square instructing the army members to organize the materials they had looted from the outside.
Many injured Scavenger Army members lay on the square.
They relied on the warlord potion to replenish their stamina and recover from their injuries.
“Hahaha! Fang Heng, I’ve finally found you. Your potion is some pretty good stuff. We made a beautiful comeback today! ” Roche saw Fang Heng from afar and waved at him. The day’s victory made Roche very happy.
“A large number of survivors have gathered in the shelter these days, and they are equipped with automatic rifles. They think they can stop the Scavenger Army with those scrap metal. Haha! A bunch of trashes! Tomorrow morning, we will launch another surprise attack. We will completely destroy the remaining few shelters and rob them of all their materials! ” Roche declared fiercely. “You can stay here and make the potions in peace. Leave the rest to me! ”
As Roche spoke, he walked over with enthusiasm, saying in a low voice, “Fang Heng, I know that that guy Osborne will distribute the newly made warlord potions to a few nearby areas tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you watch out and prepare a few boxes of high-quality ones for me. ”
“No problem. ”
“Hint: your favorability rating with Roche has increased significantly. ”
“Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have increased. ”
“My reputation points in the Dark Knights have decreased, but that in the Scavenger Army have increased. The spies are really getting into action. ”
Fang Heng felt tired.
He looked around the square.
Cheng Ya and the other two Federation players were still at the corner of the square, keeping watch.
The three of them noticed Fang Heng’s gaze and lowered their heads at the same time.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Heng nodded and said, “Oh right, Roche, there’s a small problem with the production of the potions. I want to borrow a few people from the army to help me out with something. ”
“Of course. I’m giving you the go-ahead. No matter who it is, you can directly arrange for them to help you. ”
Roche didn’t care at all.
As long as he could get not a few but rather a large number of high-quality warlord potions, he was willing to let Fang Heng mobilize even dozens of the members!
“Thank you so much. ” Fang Heng smiled.
“Now, how should I toy with Cheng Ya and the other two Federation’s b*stards to death? By having them sort the medicinal ingredients for potion making for a day? No, they might leak the formula of the potions. Have them move logs in the forest for an entire day? Or maybe have them gather military intelligence on the Federation? Alternatively, should I have them charge into and attack the ordinary players’ shelters? ” Just as Fang Heng was struggling with how to vent his anger, game hints quickly refreshed on his retinas.
“Hint: you have received an urgent message from the game cabin. Message content: something big has happened. God, when you have the chance, hurry and come offline to discuss about it. ”
Seeing the game hint, Fang Heng frowned. He returned to the potion making warehouse and went offline.
