Chapter 1716 - 1716 Hiding for a While
1716 Hiding for a While
What the hell!
Josh’s expression changed when he heard the news.
Void Stalkers?
Didn’t they just end a wave of fighting those beasts?
Again?!
Josh was still barely able to keep his composure, but the two assistants beside him suddenly felt as if their vision had gone black.
Another wave? Could they still hold on?
Josh said in a low voice, “Give the order! The camp has entered Level 1 state of alert!”
“All personnel on standby, stop resting and go online immediately!”
At this moment, Lu Yanlong was still in the federal camp to discuss the transportation of goods.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure appear behind him and looked behind him warily.
Seeing that it was Fang Heng, Lu Yanlong relaxed and asked, “Mr. Fang? You’re back?”
“I’m here. I just went back for a walk and came to lay low.”
Huh? Lay low? What did he mean?
Lu Yanlong’s eyes revealed a hint of doubt. For a moment, he didn’t quite understand what Fang Heng meant.
Fang Heng replied casually. He looked up at the commission information issued by the Federation commission office and asked, “How about the barrier tower? Did the Federation make things difficult for us?”
“No. This time, it was through the Central Federation’s channels. Everything went smoothly.”
Lu Yanlong was just about to ask Fang Heng about the matter of laying low. Just as he opened his mouth, the alarm sounded again from the loudspeaker inside the camp.
“Warning, the camp has entered Level 1 alert mode!”
“Warning! A large number of mutated forms have been detected rapidly approaching from the west side of the camp. They are expected to reach the periphery of the west side of the camp in 10 minutes. All soldiers, please enter Level 1…”
What was going on?
Alarm?
Level 1 alert mode?
This alarm sounded a little familiar.
Lu Yanlong was stunned for a moment when he heard the ear-piercing alarm. He could not help but turn his head to look at Fang Heng.
“Mr. Fang, could this alarm be…?”
“Shh.”
Fang Heng made a hand gesture to keep quiet, then turned his head to indicate the entrance of the commission office.
The captain of the Federation team, Dormer, who had worked with them before, was passing by with his soldiers. When he saw Fang Heng, he waved his hand to signal the team to leave first. Then, he walked over to them alone.
“Fang Heng, how is your recovery? Are you alright?”
“Not bad.”
“That’s good. We just received news that another batch of Void Stalkers has attacked the camp. This time, the scale isn’t as large as the last time, but you should know that the camp has just suffered a huge threat. Many facilities haven’t been repaired yet, and the camp’s defense has been greatly reduced.”
Dormer quickly introduced the current situation and immediately extended an invitation to Fang Heng and said, “I heard that the people from Starfish Company are here, so I came to look for you. Our team is short of manpower. Would you consider joining our team? Just like before, we are willing to give you extra points.”
Help the Federation guard the camp?
When Fang Heng heard this, he was immediately tempted.
It seemed pretty good…
He had planned to go offline to attend a lesson and check on the situation when he came back.
After hearing what Dormer said, it seemed like it wasn’t a bad idea to farm points with the Federation team.
Dormer was a member of the Central Federation’s team. Their credibility was much better than that of the Western District Federation.
Moreover, he was quite short of points.
Whether it was to purchase the high-energy electromagnetic field activation barrier tower or the mutant crystallization assembly device, both required Federation points.
He might even be able to get Dormer’s help to get back the mutant crystallization assembly device that the Federation had cheated him off last time.
“Alright, I’ll go with you all.”
Fang Heng nodded at Lu Yanlong.
Lu Yanlong watched as Fang Heng hurriedly left with Dormer. He could not help but open his mouth and fall into silence.
…
Soon, as the Void Stalkers chased Fang Heng and entered the periphery of the federal camp, the entire Federation entered a state of battle again.
After the previous battle, the players went offline one after another. Some of them had even just crawled into their beds and were ready to sleep. They had no choice but to receive an emergency report and were urged to go online. They hurriedly prepared for the battle.
The morale of the team was greatly affected.
Fang Heng mixed in with Dormer’s team and once again tanked the monsters to fight for his teammates.
This time, the entire Federation clearly had more experience dealing with the Void Stalkers.
Despite the frequent incidents, they were all resolved by Commander Josh’s ingenious response.
He went back and forth for nearly two hours.
The Void Stalkers that attacked the camp were wiped out once again.
The already dilapidated federal camp was once again attacked, adding insult to injury.
Commander Josh immediately issued a commission to the outside world. The reward was doubled, and he urgently recruited external mechanical engineer players to enter the camp to repair the damaged alloy metal defense facilities.
The two consecutive attacks on the camp tonight gave Josh an extremely bad feeling.
There might be a third or even fourth wave of attacks from the Void Stalkers!
In addition, due to the continuous attacks of the Void Stalkers, the teleportation passage in the center of the camp was not destroyed, but the pace of construction was interrupted.
The estimated completion time of the Level 5 upgrade had to be pushed back again.
Lu Yanlong stayed in the rest area of the camp and did not leave. When the commotion outside stopped, he quickly came out to look for Fang Heng.
Soon, he saw Fang Heng and Dormer coming back together, chatting and laughing.
“There’s actually such a thing? Fang Heng, don’t worry. I’ll help you ask around later. Under normal circumstances, the Federation will seal off some suspicious goods. I’ll report to the commander and put pressure on the Western District’s Federation commander…”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you. We need the mutant crystallization assembly device to upgrade. It’s not a problem to keep being detained.”
“No problem. I’ll report this to the higher-ups.”
After killing a wave of monsters, including the additional points that Dormer had promised as compensation, Fang Heng earned more than 200,000 Federation commission points.
Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong had a quick discussion. Lu Yanlong would continue to exchange the points he had earned for the high-energy electromagnetic field activation barrier tower in the name of Starfish Company.
He then returned to the lakeside mausoleum area.
This time, when Fang Heng returned to the lakeside area, Fana and the other 20 or so players of the Black Castle had been waiting for a long time.
Fang Heng returned to his human form.
So many people came at once?
Why did they make such a big fuss?
Fang Heng was puzzled. He waved at Fana and the others, walked up, and asked, “Are you all waiting for me? Did you find anything special?”
Fana and the others looked at each other. Actually, they wanted to know Fang Heng’s plan.
According to the plan, they had spent a lot of money to escort the special game character Olga into the current game world. They wanted to start with the alien spawns to crack the entrance below the mausoleum passage.
Black Castle was already using their fastest speed.
However, when they arrived, they learned from their companions that Fang Heng had arrived earlier than them.
Not long ago, he had even lured another batch of Void Stalkers away.
