Chapter 305: Research Progress

Chen Yu wiped his mouth and said, “Fang Heng, when Blood Moon reaches Level 50, there will be a Tier 5 Berserk Corpse King. Berserk Corpse King is no joke.”

“Don’t worry. My shelter has light cannon turrets and the Tyrant form. The crystallized worm last time was also a Tier 5 creature. I’m not afraid.”

“Berserk Corpse King is different. With Blood Moon, the Berserk Corpse King’s overall strength is the strongest among the Tier 5 creatures. If it’s Level 60, there must be more than one Berserk Corpse King.”

“I’ve done my homework, and I have a secret weapon.”

Fang Heng laughed.

“This…” Seeing Fang Heng’s confidence, Chen Yu hesitated. “Fang Heng, seriously, are you sure?”

“Of course, you know me.”

Chen Yu frowned and thought for a moment. He sighed in his heart and nodded silently.

“Okay, I will submit the report.”

Chen Yu knew very well that even if he rejected Fang Heng, with Fang Heng’s personality, he would try to increase the difficulty of the Blood Moon.

Rather than that, it was better to agree with him and try to ensure the safety and control of the entire Blood Moon.

“I knew it. You’re the most reliable person in the Federation.”

“Fang Heng, don’t say that out loud…” Chen Yu smiled bitterly. “I’ll contact you again next time. I have to go offline to check on the situation in the other shelters.”

With that, Chen Yu threw down a simple bed and went offline.

“Goodbye.”

Fang Heng rubbed his hands excitedly.

The success rate of the plan had increased by a notch when the Federation was recruited.

Next, it was time to count the harvest.

Fang Heng was looking forward to it again.

Looking down, outside the outermost wall of the prison, there was already a layer of evolution crystals and materials dropped by zombies on the ground.

A great harvest!

Fang Heng jumped down from a high place and waved at the layer of crystals on the ground.

A huge amount of evolution crystals were sucked into Fang Heng’s body.

[Hint: You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*51,672, complete evolution crystal*3872, Tier 1 evolution cystal*688, Tier 2 evolution cystal*7.]

Large and small evolution crystals floated around Fang Heng.

It was a huge harvest!

“Bang!”

Fang Heng’s opened right hand clenched into a fist.

In an instant, all the Tier 1 evolution crystals hovering around Fang Heng exploded.

A thick blood color that was almost solid enveloped Fang Heng’s entire body.

The mark on the back of Fang Heng’s hand appeared clearly again.

With the mark as the centre, a red vortex was formed and greedily devoured the surrounding blood color.

In the blink of an eye, the blood color was completely absorbed in one breath.

[Hint: Player’s level has risen to Level 18. Due to your talent skill, you have gained 41 zombie clones. Your current zombie clone count is 243.]

The soil under Fang Heng’s feet gradually rolled.

The 41 zombie clones crawled out of the soil one by one.

It wasn’t easy! He had finally levelled up again!

Fang Heng took a deep breath and glanced at the zombie clones behind him.

To most other players, every round of the Blood Moon was torture.

Fang Heng didn’t think so.

He thought that the setting of the Blood Moon in the game was great!

Points, equipment and materials.

Well, it was best to do it once a day!

That way, he could upgrade to Level 19 earlier.

As he was thinking, Fang Heng took another look at his character panel.

The number of experience points needed to reach Level 19 was massive, ten times more than when he reached Level 17 or 18.

He would have to wait 15 days for the next Blood Moon.

If nothing unexpected happened in the short term, it would be very difficult to reach Level 19.

Fang Heng closed his character panel.

The most important thing now was to think of a way to level up the space tearing device to Tier 3.

First, he had to think of a way to complete the world’s main storyline mission.

When he obtained ownership of the world, he would slowly develop and level up.

…

Fang Heng was originally planning to go to the mechanical laboratory to look for Victor.

He did not find him.

In the end, on the way back, he was intercepted by Qiu Yaokang and was directly dragged to the underground research laboratory.

“The crystallized form is an extremely special life form. It is different from any other life form known on Earth. Its evolution method is very strange.”

Qiu Yaokang had just received the analysis report of the crystallized form that he had worked overtime last night.

This was also the first time he had seen such a special life form.

Although his eyes were bloodshot, Qiu Yaokang was extremely excited.

“At the beginning, their evolution method was to devour the special energy in the blue crystal ores. From the middle stage of evolution, the evolution pattern began to change. It needs to devour flesh and blood to further evolve.”

Through the glass, Fang Heng observed the white worm that was placed in the container.

It looked harmless.

“Can it evolve indefinitely?”

“In theory, but only in theory. The later the evolution, the more energy the crystallized form needs to absorb.”

Qiu Yaokang led Fang Heng through the three glass containers.

The three glass containers contained the crystallized worms of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3.

“Compared with zombies of the same tier, the crystallized worms are not strong in actual combat. Their biggest weakness is their slow movement speed.”

“After evolving into a Tier 1-3 mutated variant, the main change of the crystallized worms is the expansion of their body size, the formation of the crystallized armour under their skin and their sharp mouthparts. There are no other changes.”

“Its mouthpart is extremely sharp. A Tier 3 crystallized worm can already cause damage to ultra-strong tempered glass.”

“For safety reasons, our experiments are limited to this.”

“Also, if they stop absorbing energy for a long period, they will degenerate.”

In the next second, a row of game hints flashed in front of the retina.

[Hint: You have placed a special creature-crystallized creature in the research room.]

[Hint: Your shelter level has met the minimum requirements for safe placement of crystallized creatures.]

[Hint: You have triggered a special research item-crystallized creature.]

[Hint: Research on the crystallized creature requires the shelter to be at Level 300 and the laboratory to be at Level 300. The player’s shelter does not meet the requirements for research.]

“So high? Shelter Level 300?”

Fang Heng was shocked.

Even the Federation of Server 7 couldn’t do that, let alone him!

Qiu Yaokang walked to Fang Heng and asked, “Fang Heng, what do you suggest?”

“Forget it, Qiu Yaokang. I suggest that we suspend the research on the crystallized creature and think of a solution when the time is right.”

“I’m a little surprised that you gave up so quickly.” Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng and said, “I thought you would ask me if I could find a way to fuse the crystallized creature with your zombie.”

That’s right! There’s still this method!

Fang Heng was excited.

“Can you?”

“No.”

Fang Heng thought to himself, “You must be kidding me.”

Qiu Yaokang turned around and looked at the crystallized form inside the glass cover.

“With our current technology, it’s difficult to study this creature. Keeping it for now is the best choice. There’s not much connection between it and the T-virus, so there’s no need to study it urgently.”

“Alright, forget it then.”
