Chapter 467: New Clue
Fang Heng made a rough deduction in his mind.
Even if he could continue developing and optimizing the vaccine in District 7, greatly increasing the level of the vaccine antibodies and reducing the speed and intensity of the zombie mutation, how long would it take to produce the amount of vaccine needed to purify the entire world, not to mention purify the entire world?
Fang Heng could already envision an extremely long battle ahead.
And in the long battle, the Federation and Night Owl would come looking for trouble for him!
“Annoying! ” Fang Heng rubbed his shoulders.
Perhaps there were other ways to trigger other quests to complete the main storyline faster.
Currently, there were only two clues left that could be traced.
The Hila experiment was one of them, which needed some time to work on. Leftway Gaming Guild had to be fully constructed before more boxes that were previously buried by Meteorite Company and the Hila tissue samples within them could be found.
The other clue was the information that Black Castle had just obtained, Plan Scorpio.
Fang Heng gradually sorted out his thoughts and began to plan the next step.
At present, the entire Federation suffered severe losses. Even Kou Huai had been killed by him and temporarily could not personally command the federal team.
At the very least, the Federation would not be able to organize a decent attack against the Scavenger Army in the near future.
Fang Heng could rest assured and boldly use the funds provided by the Federation to purchase industries in District 7. He could set up an electromagnetic induction tower and collect a Hila tissue sample to increase the strength of the Tyrant form.
The research and upgrading of the vaccine, the collection of the Hila tissue sample, and Plan Scorpio had to proceed simultaneously!
Who knew if there would be any mishaps after the main storyline. It was always good to have more preparation.
“Hey, Fang Heng... ” Zhong Lei had no choice but to interrupt Fang Heng, who was deep in thought. “If we don’t leave now, we’ll be surrounded by the zombie team. ”
Fang Heng stopped thinking. “Okay, let’s go. ”
Zhong Lei took a deep breath and took one last look at the area of Edge Creek Town, which was hellishly surrounded by the zombie team.
If someone told him that Fang Heng was an anti-federal organization terrorist at the present moment, he would definitely believe it.
...
“Fang Heng, this battle was beautifully fought! This is the first time Kou Huai and the others have lost so miserably! ” Tian Zhen had been paying attention to Fang Heng’s situation at all times. After receiving the news that the Federation had suffered a great defeat and that Kou Huai had even lost his life on the spot, he was greatly excited!
The gamble paid off!
Their entire Leftway Gaming Guild would rise up together with Fang Heng in District 7!
“Affected by this time’s giant-sized zombie wave, the players of District 7 have lost much confidence in the Federation. I’ve already spread the word that similar zombie waves will continue to occur throughout District 7. Many guilds have already been affected and are starting to sell their shelters to the outside world. I reckon that the price of shelters will soon plummet. At that time, we will be able to buy more shelters at a lower price and complete the production plan for the electromagnetic induction tower. In order to save money, I believe that we only need to buy a medium-sized shelter. After all, our goal is only to build the induction tower. ” Tian Zhen was increasingly trusting Fang Heng as a teammate. He felt as if everything was already under Fang Heng’s control, and the Federation was being played around by Fang Heng.
“All right. You decide. ” Fang Heng was also very satisfied with this new teammate.
For the time being, the plan to find Hila tissue sample could be handed over to him to carry out.
“Okay, and about the Plan Scorpio that you mentioned earlier, this is the relevant information that I asked people to gather, ” Tian Zhen said as he handed a file to Fang Heng.
“Huh? ” Fang Heng flipped open the file and had a thought. He raised his head and asked, “Meteorite Company? ”
“Yes, we can confirm that Plan Scorpio is a project led by Meteorite Company. There are huge gaps in the information, and I’m not clear about the details of the project. The information was provided by a player from our guild. About a few years ago in a nursing home, before she joined the company, she accidentally triggered a related mission. According to her, she had seen information about Plan Scorpio then. Unfortunately, she died in the nursing home at that time. The mission was halted, too. Then, it was abandoned. After so much time has passed, the players in the nursing home might have already triggered the mission. Searching for the mission now might not be of much use. ”
Indeed, District 7 had been in service for far too long.
Places that potentially had hidden missions had probably already been searched countless times by the players.
In theory, if there had been a hidden mission, it would have been triggered a long time ago.
“Yeah. Anyway, we still have to go over and check it out. ”
“The coordinates of the nursing home are in the North District. It’s too far to drive there. I’ll get Zhong Lei to bring you there through the teleportation passage of the other guilds. ”
“Okay. ”
...
Leftway Gaming Guild had always been very efficient.
Half an hour later, Zhong Lei and Fang Heng entered the North District through a teleportation passage and drove on the wide snowy road.
The coordinates for the trip were an abandoned nursing home, Far Mountain Nursing Home.
It was built halfway up the mountain.
It was a world of ice and snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.
If they had started randomly in the area at the beginning, it would definitely have been hell-level difficulty.
Players would face the risk of hypothermia, and survival would be extremely difficult.
The good news was that, perhaps because there weren’t many humans living in the area, the zombie density and zombie wave intensity were much lower compared to other areas.
Fang Heng drove the car toward the target location.
Time was short, so Fang Heng didn’t bring the zombie team with him.
He didn’t have much hope for the trip.
A faint light flashed, and Zhong Lei went online from the passenger seat.
He changed into a thick winter suit.
“Hey, Fang Heng, Good News. I just broke through North District’s forum’s firewall to search for Far Mountain Nursing Home, and I found out quite a lot. ”
Fang Heng’s attention was drawn over. “Huh? What did you find? ”
“There are quite a few players in the Eastern region who have explored Far Mountain Nursing Home. I heard that they were all attacked inside. I even found a few related party member recruitment posts, but there was no follow-up. I think they were all wiped out. ” Zhong Lei said excitedly, “The good news is that I just found the latest party recruitment post. It seems that they have some relevant information. ”
“Are you saying that the nursing home has not been fully explored by the players? ”
“Yes! ” Zhong Lei nodded and uttered, “This place is freezing. The big guilds would not choose to build a shelter here. The location of the nursing home is also very secure since it is built halfway up the mountain. ”
Fang Heng sped up and nodded, “That is good news. ”
“There’s an apocalypse merchant camp not far from the fork in the road ahead. ” Zhong Lei said with a smile, “Let’s go to the Apocalypse merchant camp first. The group on the forum seems to have gone in to explore a few times. I contacted them online and discussed exploring the nursing home with them. I think we should be able to get some useful information from them. ”
Fang Heng agreed, “That makes sense. ”
