Chapter 418: Ambushed
That’s right, this could explain it.
The large increase in the strength of the Scavenger Army must have been related to Fang Heng, which was why Fang Heng’s contribution to the Scavenger Army increased so quickly.
Kou Huai adjusted his mood and sat down again.
He took out the map on the table and compared it.
“The regional commander of the South City district...”
“Fang Heng, you are indeed very powerful, but you made a mistake in this step, which is tantamount to digging your own grave.”
Kou Huai sneered in his heart and picked up the phone on the table.
“Xiao Chen, pass the message to find a way to mobilize the Dark Knights.”
“Yes!”
“Any feedback from the inspection team?”
“Sir, I heard that the inspection team has sent people to look for Fang Heng and communicate with him.”
...
[Hint: Your team has completed the gathering in the southern area of the city.]
[Hint: You have obtained 7273 Scavenger Army contribution points. You have obtained the authority to command the South City district.]
[Hint: The current defense of the city is Level 37. You can use contribution points to exchange for materials, guns, and other items to strengthen the defense of the city.]
[Hint: Player has triggered a mission: protect the city, clear the southern area of the city, kill, gather materials, recruit soldiers, make potions and other missions...]
Fang Heng spent a full day’s work until the evening before settling down in the small town in the South City district.
The subsequent series of missions refreshed, causing Fang Heng to have a headache.
He admitted that he was a spy for the Dark Knights, so he would not work so hard for the Scavenger Army...
Originally, Fang Heng had wanted to complete the main storyline mission as soon as possible, and find an opportunity to kill Cook Barn to complete the main storyline mission.
But now that the Federation was involved, the situation became unclear.
After thinking for a while, Fang Heng decided to wait until tomorrow morning to think of a way to meet with Ai Lei of the Dark Knights to confirm the details of the next step in killing Cook Barn.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Fang Heng decided to go offline and prepare to have a good rest.
After getting out of the game cabin, Fang Heng went to the library in the backyard and prepared to bring the book back to the game world for the zombie clone to read.
In the study, Xiao Ruoruo was reading a book carefully.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Xiao Ruoruo turned her head and said in surprise, “Brother Fang Heng!”
“Hey, haven’t you rested yet?”
“It’s still early. I found something about the mark, so I came to check some information.”
Fang Heng was surprised, “Found something?”
“Yeah, show me the mark first.”
Hearing that, Fang Heng raised the back of his right hand.
Once he focused on the back of his hand, a rune immediately appeared on the back of his hand.
Ever since he activated the mark skill in the game, the rune on the back of his hand had become more complicated. It would take him a long time to draw it again.
Xiao Ruoruo compared the rune and opened a book to compare it with a certain pattern on it.
“Brother Fang Heng, look, are the patterns on the mark similar to this one?”
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched.
This part of the mark was 90% similar!
“Right!”
“Right? When I saw it for the first time, I felt that it was a bit familiar. It took me a long time to recall it.”
“What does this pattern represent?”
“It’s related to the Nightmare Mirror. When I was young, I heard my grandmother say that with the strength of the Nightmare Mirror, we can freely travel through many unknown worlds.”
Xiao Ruoruo recalled bitterly and slowly narrated.
“Unfortunately, a long time ago, the Nightmare Mirror was destroyed and divided into pieces that were left in every corner of the world.”
“Later on, the Nightmare Demon used its special strength to completely devour a few pieces of the Nightmare Mirror. We completely lost the hope of opening the passage to other worlds.”
The Nightmare Mirror with the ability to teleport...
Fang Heng lowered his head and started thinking.
The world that Xiao Ruoruo was in was a higher-level Nightmare World.
Did the Nightmare Mirror that she mentioned correspond to the space tearing device of a lower-level game world?
But what did this have to do with the mark on the back of his hand?
Xiao Ruoruo’s mood was a little low. She continued, “After completely losing the Nightmare Mirror, apart from facing the nightmare crisis in this world, we also have to constantly be on guard against the impact of the lower-level worlds.”
Fang Heng was puzzled.
“The impact of the lower worlds? What is that?”
“Hmm...” Xiao Ruoruo thought for a moment. “I’m not too sure either. Grandmother addressed them this way. In my impression, whenever grandmother encountered a similar impact, she would always be very nervous.”
“However, in my impression, the abilities of those intruders are very ordinary. In most cases, they would die at the hands of the Nightmare Demon before we could even make a move. I also don’t quite understand the meaning of them entering our world.”
“Oh right, the person leading them is called the World Lord. Every time they invade, the World Lord would bring many players with similar special abilities to participate.”
Listening to Xiao Ruoruo’s description, Fang Heng’s pupils constricted.
World Lord?!
Could it be...
Could it be that Xiao Ruoruo was referring to the player that had cleared a server’s main storyline mission?
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
...
After leaving the study, Fang Heng was a little sleepy. He prepared to return to his room early to sleep.
“Eh?”
Fang Heng had just passed through the stone bridge in the back garden. His sharp perception told him something.
He stopped and looked around vigilantly.
In front of him, a middle-aged man in black sportswear walked out from the dark shadows.
He had a sword hanging by his waist.
“Fang Heng?”
The middle-aged man’s gaze was focused on Fang Heng, sizing him up.
“Yes, you are?”
The middle-aged man was expressionless, and his tone was unusually cold.
“Meng Wu, a Grade 3 investigator of the Federation’s Investigation Team. Player Fang Heng is suspected of violating the Federation’s ban. We need you to come back with us to assist in the investigation.”
As he spoke, Meng Wu walked toward Fang Heng step by step.
The Federation came knocking on his door?
Fang Heng’s heart stirred. He took half a step back and touched his pocket.
There were a few small raw blue crystal ores in his pocket.
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Then I can only invite you over.”
As Meng Wu spoke, he lightly tapped his feet on the ground and suddenly accelerated!
His entire body was light as a feather as if he did not have any point of force. His body turned into a shadow and rapidly flew forward.
Fang Heng’s pupils instantly enlarged.
His high level of perception ability allowed him to capture Meng Wu’s entire movement.
“Shoo~!”
Fang Heng suddenly swung his hand forward, and the two ores in his hand flew towards Meng Wu in mid-air.
“Bang!!”
A white light flashed.
The two ores were cut into ashes by Meng Wu’s sword.
Fang Heng was stunned.
Weapon?
He was playing tricks, right?
Fang Heng didn’t say much. He clenched his fist and used all his strength to punch forward.
His fist created a strong wind in the air.
For the first time, a surprised expression flashed in Meng Wu’s eyes.
He was surprised at the strength of Fang Heng’s punch.
“Swoosh!!”
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched, and he suddenly felt a figure in front of him blur.
The punch hit nothing but air.
Oh no!
It was a special skill!
A player with Tier 3 materialization!
