Chapter 1802 Sudden Incident

Fang Heng nodded in his heart.

The damage from this stab was very high, directly taking away one-fifth of the Licker’s HP!

After all, the Licker had inherited his basic HP.

It was already a commander-level HP template.

Moreover, the spikes were extremely fast, and even the Licker’s agility couldn’t block them.

Try again!

As Fang Heng thought about it, he controlled the twelve Lickers to fly toward the mutated worm zombie from different angles!

“Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

In an instant, more than a dozen sharp spikes pierced out from the thick “armor” that covered the body of the flesh armored zombie, piercing through the Lickers that were leaping in the air!

“Bang!!”

Without exception, the twelve Lickers were once again tossed a few times in the air by the spikes before being thrown out.

Amazing!

It was not difficult for the zombie at all!

The Lickers were unable to get close to the mutated worm zombie!

Fang Heng praised in his heart.

From the few simple attacks, the mutated worm zombie still had many shortcomings.

For example, its movement speed was slow, and its control was weak. It was like a live target when facing long-range attacks.

However, just this kind of spike output ability was worth the price of the ticket!

Fang Heng looked at Qiu Yaokang, who was also participating in the combat test, and asked, “Can it be mass-produced?”

“Mutated worms need to be nurtured, which will take some time. In addition, the initial activation of the mutated worms also requires a special compound that activates the original devouring body, so it is currently impossible to mass-produce them. Based on the current situation, if you are in a hurry, we can provide about 20 to 50 of them a day given the limit.”

Qiu Yaokang lowered his head and recorded the data while saying, “I need to keep this zombie for more detailed tests. After some adjustments, the success rate of the subsequent evolution will also increase.”

Fang Heng scratched his head.

It was difficult!

With Qiu Yaokang’s research team, it wasn’t difficult to mass-produce the mutant worms.

As for the compound that stimulated the original devouring body, he had also gone to Tong Jia’s research lab from time to time in the past two days. He had already obtained the formula.

He was also trying to ‘take’ some of the raw materials from the research team and bring them back to the game for the research team.

It was only a matter of time before he could completely replicate and mass-produce the compound.

Right now, the biggest problem was the amount of King of Gods’ points needed to solidify the zombie clone.

This was real money.

After a long silence, Fang Heng could only helplessly say, “Alright, I understand. Let’s carry out the test first and try to increase the success rate and production. I’ll think of a way to settle the rest.”

…

After leaving the laboratory, Fang Heng began to think of a way to get some King of Gods’ points.

There were many places in the game that required King of Gods’ points.

However, there were very few opportunities for him to farm for King of Gods’ points.

There was no time.

He could only put it aside for the time being. There were more urgent matters at hand.

He would consider the issue of King of Gods’ points after he completed the Level 40 mission.

After all, this was a rare opportunity.

The cooldown time of the ultimate skill “Everlasting Moon” which he had been waiting for the past two days had been completed. He was also waiting for the Federation to collect more sarcophagi.

Now that the skill cooldown was complete, the Federation had collected a total of nine sarcophagi with his and Lu Yanlong’s help.

It was just enough.

During the safe period, the Federation would bring another one over tomorrow and gather ten sarcophagi before taking action.

With Qiu Yaokang’s targeted poison gas and his ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon, it was not a problem for him to kill a commander-level creature in one go.

Even if he were to encounter an emergency, he would have a bottle of skill cooldown reset potion as a guarantee.

Counting on his fingers, tomorrow was a good day.

He would make a move as soon as possible to put his heart at rest.

However, this kind of thing was not suitable for making a big fuss.

It would be best if he could think of a way to not make too much of a commotion.

Fang Heng was thinking about how to make a move when he suddenly received an emergency message from Lu Yanlong’s survival radio.

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang, something happened to the sarcophagus. Come over as soon as possible. I’ll wait for you at the usual place.]

Something happened?

Fang Heng’s heart sank.

Not good.

It had only been two days since they had accepted the task of transporting the sarcophagus, but the Federation had encountered a continuous stream of trouble.

First, the person in charge of the commission office expressed his dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the players who accepted the commission. He asked them to speed up the operation of the sarcophagus and did not allow them to stay in the stone chamber for long. Then, he began to crazily lower the price.

Many players were unwilling to be bullied by the Federation and gave up on the commission.

It was only because Fang Heng was not entrusting resources that he endured it.

[Fang Heng: I’ll be there soon.]

After a quick reply, Fang Heng immediately returned to the mausoleum game world.

…

Soon, Fang Heng returned to the mausoleum world through the portal. He transformed into a bat and arrived at a forest outside the medium-sized mausoleum guarded by the Federation.

At the edge of the forest, Lu Yanlong looked a little anxious as he looked left and right while waiting for Fang Heng to return.

Fang Heng returned to his human form and walked toward Lu Yanlong. He asked, “What happened?”

“I don’t know what the exact problem is, but it feels very wrong.”

Lu Yanlong’s expression was solemn as he replied, “The Federation’s commission department contacted me in advance just now. They temporarily froze our contract with the Federation and invited us to immediately head to the medium-sized mausoleum to find Nasto and contact him to cooperate with the Federation’s special investigation.”

Fang Heng was stunned.

Special investigation?

What the hell was this?

Fang Heng frowned and asked, “Why? What kind of investigation?”

“The Federation didn’t give a reason or explain what the investigation was. They only said that when the sarcophagus was inspected by the commission department, a huge hidden danger was discovered. The commission that had already been accepted was temporarily suspended, and they asked us to immediately go over and cooperate with the investigation. Our Starfish Company has already investigated in secret, but there’s no news for the time being.”

“Also, I’ve asked Nasto. He didn’t say anything on the phone. He just told us to hurry over and meet up with him. He said that it was indeed a little troublesome and that he had something to discuss with us in person.”

Lu Yanlong knew Fang Heng’s general plan, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious. He asked, “Mr. Fang, is this something related to the Federation’s special mission? Have they already gathered all the sarcophagi? So they’re finding an excuse to brush us off?”

“Indeed, there is such a possibility.”

Fang Heng looked in the direction of the mausoleum’s entrance and lowered his head in thought.

Perhaps the Federation already had enough sarcophagi and did not need their help at all.

Of course, there was an even worse-case scenario. The Federation discovered that there was a problem with the sarcophagus, and the follow-up mission was put on hold.

Either way, it was very likely that all the preparatory missions they had done in the early stages would be in vain.

Fang Heng quickly calculated in his heart.

Not good.

He had to make a move now in order to stop the loss in time!

“At least the Federation hasn’t put us on a wanted list. The situation isn’t the worst yet.”

Fang Heng shrugged and pretended to be relaxed. He said, “Let’s go. Let’s not make wild guesses here. We’ll know when we go in and see what they’re up to.”
