Chapter 2919  Rapid Division

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

The remaining non-combat units could be completely transformed using the Rapid Division transformation effect!

Aside from combat zombie clones, he happened to be lacking a large number of miners to excavate ore.

They could be completely used to improve work efficiency!

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up again. With a flick of his wrist, a crack appeared in his palm, and he swallowed the cocoon into it.

[Hint: The player has consumed the Seed of Ouroboros. The player has now unlocked the optional transformation-Rapid Division.]

Done!

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt, then immediately controlled a batch of Lickers that had not undergone any secondary transformation to come through the underground passage.

Soon, 20 Lickers gathered in front of Fang Heng, forming flesh cocoons on the spot.

[Hint: Transformation complete. The player has consumed an additional 1500*20 King of Gods’ points. 20 zombie clones have been transformed with the Rapid Division effect.]

Five minutes later, the Lickers crawled out from the flesh cocoons and lay flat on the ground.

From the middle of their bodies, the Lickers began to divide–one into two, and from the split parts, new body sections quickly regrew.

1 became 2, 2 became 4…

In just a short moment, the original 20 Lickers expanded into 640!

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt–dividing one zombie clone into 64 consumed about 10,000 units of backup energy.

Not much!

At least for now, the energy reserves were more than enough for him to squander.

Fang Heng licked his lips lightly and gave a command to the divided Lickers to convert into another form.

The group of Lickers formed flesh cocoons again on the spot, reverting to normal zombie form.

The zombies crawled out from the flesh cocoons and slowly walked toward the ores left behind after the mutant worm queen was defeated, stopping before the ore and raising their claws to start clawing at it.

Game prompts rapidly appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Zombie clone (division type) has obtained unknown energy ore (unappraised)*1…]

Done!

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, looking at the group of zombie clones mining ore. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he muttered under his breath.

“In that case, the pickaxes are going to run out again…”

…

Federation branch base.

Captain Zoran hadn’t taken Fang Heng’s so-called ship reconstruction plan seriously at first.

He didn’t expect that barely half an hour later, a subordinate from Nairn’s team would rush back with a report.

After hearing the report, Captain Zoran was stunned.

Was it really done?

In just two days, Fang Heng’s summoned creatures had awakened powerful long-range attack abilities?

Combined with their inherent stealth effects, they completely toyed with the insect swarm. The speed at which they were consuming the swarm had increased dramatically!

If they really kept up at this pace, the insect swarm might actually be wiped out?

Captain Zoran felt a bit excited and immediately called for Engineer Pang Li to come discuss it.

He hadn’t taken it seriously before, but now, they were seriously considering the ship reconstruction work.

Pang Li was briefly stunned after hearing it, but quickly understood and suggested going with the captain in person to check the condition of the ship’s main body in order to develop the next phase of the reconstruction plan.

Captain Zoran found it reasonable, so the two of them boarded a transport aircraft to inspect the main ship body.

Soon, as the ship approached the area, everyone saw the scene below.

Huh?! What was going on?

Where was the insect swarm!?

Through the transport aircraft’s window, Captain Zoran saw that the area which was supposed to be densely packed with insects now didn’t show even a single Bone-Eating Fungal Ant?

Had the swarm retreated?

Because of Fang Heng?

Even if Fang Heng’s summoned creatures possessed terrifying long-range attack power, even if it exceeded Zoran’s expectations, there had been so many insect swarms…

Had they really been completely eliminated?

The soldiers on the transport aircraft also noticed the strange sight.

As the aircraft continued flying forward, the soldiers looked through the windows and saw the remains of the ship’s main body on the ground ahead.

The main body had been torn apart and was heavily damaged, with a large portion corroded by the fungal ant swarm.

But at least the framework was still intact.

And there wasn’t a single Bone-Eating Fungal Ant in sight nearby.

Looking closer, they saw Nairn and several of his subordinates gathered beside the ship guarding it.

Everyone wore puzzled expressions.

The transport aircraft circled a few times in the air to confirm safety, then slowly descended.

Nairn immediately led his team forward to greet them.

“Captain Zoran.”

“Mm.” Captain Zoran nodded and immediately asked, “What’s going on here? The swarm retreated?”

Nairn had just arrived with his team and took a deep breath before carefully repeating the report he had just received.

“Fang Heng went to explore the ancient ruins not long ago and ended up discovering a hidden Seed of Ouroboros queen bug. After a series of battles, he eliminated the queen bug…”

Captain Zoran’s eyes flickered strangely.

In just over an hour, this guy had done all that?

“You’re saying… you all just ran off and wiped out the Bone-Eating Fungal Ant queen?”

“Uh, yes.”

Nairn didn’t feel very confident saying it either.

To be precise, he had only escorted Zaka and some other players to move ore. Then, when he turned around, he got the message that Fang Heng had handled the queen bug all by himself.

“Where’s Fang Heng? What’s he doing now?”

“Still in the underground cave.” Nairn turned to glance at the nearby deep pit leading underground and said in a low voice, “Supposedly, they’re sorting ores down there.”

“Hmm? Sorting? Ores?”

“Yes, I heard that some time ago, Fang Heng collected a large amount of spirit crystal ore that hadn’t yet been submitted to the spawn mainframe system. Looks like they’ll refine it after sorting and then submit it to the mainframe.”

As they spoke, Wayne emerged from the cavern rift nearby with a few subordinates, pushing boxes.

“Captain Zoran, you’re here too–perfect, I’ve got something to ask you.”

Wayne had come out for some fresh air after sorting some of the ore and happened to see Captain Zoran, so he stepped forward and asked, “The spawn mainframe communication system on the ship should be repairable soon, right? Boss Fang wants us to submit the spirit crystal ore as soon as possible, and then we can use contribution points to exchange for supplies…”

Captain Zoran was momentarily speechless.

Engineer Pang Li didn’t care how Fang Heng’s team managed to fight off the swarm. As far as he was concerned, the insect threat was resolved. Now it was his turn to shine.

“Mm, we’ll move the temporary camp’s mainframe into the ship. It should be operational again in about two hours.”

“That’s great.” Wayne nodded, then added seriously, “There’s one more thing we need your help with, Captain Wayne.”

“What is it?”

“We need combat shovels,” Wayne took a deep breath and nodded. “A lot of combat shovels. As many as possible.”
