Chapter 259 Development and Expansion

There were also changes to the roads here.

The last time he came here, it was a bumpy journey and he was very tired at the end.

But now, the roads had been widened by many times, and they had been renovated with stone pavements.

This was a tool that could only be made with a high-tier cement mixer…

At this time, ordinary players were still thinking of ways to strengthen the shelter and find a way to fill their stomachs.

He was so free? And so rich?

He had already started to build roads?

Chen Yu was a little taken aback.

Gradually, the outline of a prison appeared on the horizon.

Zhang Zhe poked his head out of the car window and looked outside.

Several players were carrying logs and stones toward the prison.

“Are these players taking refuge in the prison?”

“Yeah, you’ve seen the posts on the Internet, right? They say that they’re paying for their work. The prison has recruited several players to work in the prison to ensure that they can successfully survive this Blood Moon.”

“There are also entrance tickets that are sold separately. They’ve already sold for 50,000 yuan per ticket.”

“What about them?”

Zhang Zhe pointed at a team of fully armed players blocking the road ahead.

“Eh? It’s the Blackthorn mercenary group?”

Chen Yu slowed down the car and stuck his head out of the window.

Black Tiger, the commander of Team 7 of the Blackthorn mercenary group, recognized Chen Yu.

“Chen Yu, it’s you. Are you looking for Boss Fang Heng?”

“Uh, yes, why are you here?”

“It’s because I accepted the prison’s request. For the time being, our Blackthorn mercenary group will be responsible for the security and patrolling around the prison, protecting the players in the prison when they are collecting stones and wood.”

Black Tiger gave a rough explanation and gestured for the player team at the back to let them pass. “I’ll go with you guys. The boss has also recruited a few other mercenary groups. Many of them don’t know you guys, so with me around, it won’t be troublesome.”

“Thank you.”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly and opened the car door.

D*mn it, Fang Heng had achieved something big.

He had become so rich from selling entrance tickets that he even started to recruit advanced player mercenary groups as helpers.

Soon, the car entered the prison area.

The guards of the Dark Knights on the sentry towers saw Chen Yu and the others at a glance and waved for them to stop.

Chen Yu parked the truck at the side and walked out.

It had been a few days since the moat had been built!

Chen Yu could not help but sigh.

The last time he came here, he had relied on the barbed wire defense structure at the periphery. Now, the prison area had expanded by more than 100 meters. The new moat and city walls had also been built.

In addition, there were two more large ancillary buildings outside the prison.

Zhang Zhe narrowed his eyes and asked, “What is that place?”

“It’s a temporary shelter. Fang Heng doesn’t want too many random people to enter the prison.”

“Other than the players who participated in the Blood Moon Project and the players who bought the VIP tickets, everyone else will live outside and wait for the Blood Moon before entering the prison together.”

VIP tickets?

Chen Yu was stunned.

It was a set-up.

The wooden bridge over the moat descended, and three trucks filled with mining materials drove from the outside, slowly entering the prison.

Chen Yu stared at these trucks in a daze.

He felt that these trucks looked a little familiar.

Weren’t these what Fang Heng wanted from the Federation?

At that time, Chen Yu thought it was strange. He wondered why Fang Heng wanted so many military trucks at that time.

Did he use them?

But where did he get so many ore resources?

[Hint: Some iron ores are stored in Warehouse 9. Current storage value: 26,000/570,000.]

(Hint: Some wooden planks are stored in Warehouse 3. Current storage capacity: 460,000/900,000.]

(Hint: Scanning player’s custom shelter blueprints…]

(Hint: Refer to player’s blueprints (custom). Current expansion requires wooden planks*201,100, wooden frames*92,100, nails*27,700, iron nuggets*27,800, mixed stones* 45,500, firewood*60,100.]

(Hint: Your shelter level has been upgraded to Level 103.]

(Hint: You have completed the third shelter expansion. The system has determined that your shelter can currently accommodate up to 165 players. If you exceed the capacity, your shelter will be more vulnerable to zombie attacks at night.]

(Hint: Your shelter’s durability has been increased by 300%.]

(Hint: Your survival radio has been upgraded again. Your shelter’s attractiveness to the survivors outside has been increased.]

(Hint: Your shelter can be reinforced by 3 tiers (scrap metal reinforcement).]

(Hint: You have gained additional floor space. Please select an expansion plan…]

Fang Heng enjoyed this feeling very much.

He reinforced the shelter a few times, expanded the warehouse as well, and then filled them up again and again!

All the spare materials were transported to the shelter.

During this time, after completing the construction of the emergency exits in the quarantine zone, he devoted himself to the development of the prison.

In five days, this was the second time he expanded the shelter.

Every time he expanded, he filled it up!

Victor was in charge of building a special storage room in the basement of prison Building No. 2. It was used to store resources such as ores, wooden planks, iron nuggets and other materials.

A large-scale workshop was newly opened in the basement and more than 300 furnaces operated 24 hours a day.

The basement was not easy to ventilate and the entire hall was extremely hot.

Ordinary players would not be able to stand it!

But it didn’t matter, the zombie clone was not afraid of the heat!

Hack 24 hours a day!

Fang Heng calculated in his heart.

At this speed, when the next batch of iron nuggets was produced, the next expansion was expected to take another five or six days!

More than half of the forest area had been mined by zombies, and the top-level wooden planks had already piled up in three warehouses.

He had to wait for Victor to build another two more.

Hmm… they found a copper mine?

It was good stuff. Copper could be used to make high-level electronic components and it could also be used to make ammunition.

There was another benefit after establishing a teleportation passage in the shelter.

He could go to any teleportation point of the Dark Knights through the space tear anytime and anywhere.

The efficiency of travelling was greatly improved!

Fang Heng used teleportation points to teleport back and forth. He and Mo Jiawei spent a few days swiping away half of the apocalypse camps in the game world, and he only managed to collect more than 300 furnaces.

Considering that the space tearing device used special energy crystals which were relatively rare, the remaining energy could last for about two days, so Fang Heng chose to temporarily close the teleportation passage.

“Yes, I’ll have the Blackthorn mercenary group scout the newly discovered mine.” The abandoned iron ore that they had found was almost finished, so they needed to find a new mine…

The warehouse of Apocalypse Camp 23 was also full, and they had stopped purchasing resources from the outside world. In the afternoon, they asked Mo Jiawei to bring a few cars over to empty the high-grade goods sold there…
