Chapter 439: The Unknown Box
“Well, nice!”
Fang Heng murmured in a low voice as he began to think.
The large-scale space tearing device was a good item. It could continue to work after he had the zombies repair it. Fang Heng considered setting this place as their main base. Then, the rapid support ability of the entire army could be significantly improved.
“Sir!”
While he was thinking, a deputy commander in Scavenger Army walked into the teleportation hall.
“Commander Fang Heng, the main control room is currently under control. The regional commanders are cleaning up the remaining resisting members in the fortress.”
“Mm, well done.”
Fang Heng put the space tearing device aside and stood up.
“Tell them to be careful when cleaning up. Try their best not to damage the machines.”
“Yes, sir!”
Soon, a row of game hints appeared before Fang Heng’s eyes.
“Hint: Player Fang Heng, you have led Scavenger Army to occupy Dark Knights’ branch. The overall strength of Dark Knights has been greatly affected.”
“Hint: Your friendship with Dark Knights has been greatly reduced.”
“Hint: Your reputation among Scavenger Army has reached its peak.”
“Hint: You have occupied part of the abandoned factory, and the morale of Scavenger Army has reached its peak.”
“Hint: What you did have affected part of the world’s main storyline.”
Next, it was time to look for the box left by Meteorite Company.
Fang Heng rubbed his neck and exchanged a glance with Osborne, whose eyes flashed with admiration and fanaticism.
“Have you found the map of this fortress?”
“Yes, this is the map of the interior fortress we found in the main control room.”
“Hint: You have obtained the map of the interior of the modified military fortress.”
Fang Heng opened the map and glanced at it.
“Let’s go.”
Fang Heng took a few tyrant and vine zombies and headed to the spot where the coordinate was in his memory.
The Box’s hiding spot detected by the electromagnetic tower was a two-dimensional coordinate.
There were a total of five floors in the fortress, two on the ground and three under the ground.
Fang Heng led the team, searching from the second floor to the third floor underground. They thoroughly searched the rooms on the coordinate but still failed to find the box.
“That’s strange. Why can’t I find it?”
Osborne was puzzled and asked, “Could it be that Dark Knights took the box away when they evacuated?”
Fang Heng frowned and thought for a moment. Then he raised his head and said, “It can’t be. They shouldn’t know anything about the special box. Let’s go back to Level 2 and search again.”
“Okay.”
Then, Fang Heng and Osborne returned to the second-floor lounge.
The two tyrant forms walked to the spot of the coordinate and smashed their fists at the floor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They smashed a hole in the floor.
Then, they jumped down from the hole and reached the room below.
They smashed all the way to the room on the third underground level.
But still, they didn’t find anything.
Fang Heng stroked his chin.
“Maybe it’s a hidden room that was not marked on the map.”
Thinking of this, Fang Heng summoned a group of vine zombie clones to the room.
These zombie clones took out their shovels and started digging down.
Half an hour later, the zombie clones found something after digging down for more than five meters.
It was a cement ground!
There was cement right below the coordinate.
So, there might be another room below!
The two tyrant forms immediately jumped down and started to smash the ground with their big fists.
Soon, they smashed a hole again.
There was a room below the hole.
Osborne was surprised for a moment and said, “Is this room left behind by Meteorite Company? Dark Knights might not know its existence.”
“Yeah, let’s take a look in there. We’ll find out.”
As Fang Heng said this, he quickly ordered the two tyrant forms to jump down from where they were.
After confirming no danger was in the room below, Fang Heng followed them and jumped into the space below.
When he landed, a cloud of dust rose up.
Fang Heng quickly scanned the room.
It was dark inside, and there were piles of abandoned sundries everywhere.
There was a thick layer of dust in the room.
Was it a store room?
Fang Heng glanced at its entrance.
No wonder he couldn’t find it on the map. The door of the room had been filled with cement and sealed tightly.
Osborne also jumped down from the hole above. He shone his flashlight back and forth in the room, trying to find clues.
Soon, he noticed a metal box in a pile of sundries in the corner.
“Commander, look here! Is it this one?”
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up as he walked up.
“Yeah! We found it!”
The metal box was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Fang Heng reached out and wiped off the dust.
“Hint: You have obtained an item, an unknown box.”
“Item: An unknown box.
Description: A strange metal box with Meteorite Company’s symbol on it.
Description: This item has the powerful strength of creatures. It can’t be transported through the space passage or be stored in a backpack.”
“Hint: You have discovered the unknown box hidden by Meteorite Company for the first time. You have obtained 1,000 main storyline contribution points.”
...
On the other hand, members of Federation were in the meeting room.
They were silent.
No one had expected that Scavenger Army’s strength had increased significantly in a short time after Fang Heng joined it.
They could actually take down Dark Knights’ branch in less than two hours.
“According to the current information, Fang Heng has completely taken down Dark Knights’ branch. After this battle, Dark Knights’ strength has been greatly reduced. It will probably take them a long time to recover.”
Kou Huai swept his gaze across the crowd.
“I’m gathering everyone here today to discuss our next move.
The death rate of Scavenger Army members is over 50%.
Since Scavenger Army’s current strength has been dramatically reduced, I think this is the best opportunity for us to launch an attack on them.”
“But...”
A commander brought up a different opinion. “Since they have already suffered a significant loss, and their strength has been greatly reduced, should we just wait three months and not make any move? After three months, Scavenger Army will automatically disband, and we will naturally get over the crisis.
Will that be safer?”
“No.”
Kou Huai shook his head.
He was very doubtful about the time of three months.
“There might be accidents during this time. It’s best to get rid of Scavenger Army as soon as possible.
With the influence of the players, Scavenger Army can possibly survive three more months. I even suspect Fang Heng started this battle to develop a special potion.”
Hearing this, the commanders began to discuss quietly.
“No matter what Fang Heng wants to do, we must continue to put pressure on him, not giving him any chance to catch his breath!”
Kou Huai ordered, “Contact the player guilds in District 7 and get them ready to continue putting pressure on Scavenger Army.
In addition, as long as they can cause substantial damage to Scavenger Army, Federation will give them some reward and compensation, whether it’s an individual or the player guild.”
“Yes, sir!”
