Chapter 2128 The Pit
At that moment, a large number of zombie clones were gathered in the fourth basement of the research institute.
For protective purposes, the floor was constructed partly of metal, with reinforced concrete highly condensed below.
After more than an hour of digging, Fang Heng heard a thud.
He turned around and saw that the zombie team had finally dug a hole in the ground.
Done!
Fang Heng walked to the front of the pit and took a look.
The bottom of the hole was directly connected to the sewer.
This was only the first step. After entering the sewer, he still needed to open up two more underground sewers that connected to the outside world.
The good news was that so far, neither the Federation army team nor the guards from OmniTech Company have successfully invaded the lower levels of the research institute. They were still confined to the first level and were slowly clearing out the Licker groups blocking their path along the way.
Fang Heng made a rough estimate.
Based on this efficiency, it would probably take the Federation another three hours to reach the third basement.
This was still under the assumption that he was hacking.
"There's no hurry. Take it slow..."
Fang Heng muttered in a low voice, controlling the zombie clones to carry out the next step.
The zombie clones carried the branches of the sacred tree wrapped in white cloth and slowly moved from the corner of the passage outside the room. Then, they threw the branches of the sacred tree into the hole in the ground and the sewers below.
Below the sewers, several fusion Tyrant forms came to their aid and lifted the branches of the sacred tree.
Then, he continued to move them deeper into the sewer!
Fang Heng leaped into the sewer after moving the twelve branches of the sacred tree.
According to the location shown on the map, he needed to continue forward for another 500 meters.
After that, he would dig through the wall on the right and continue digging for more than ten meters before connecting to the sewer of the external network.
At that time, he would be able to escape completely!
"The sewers are still as good as ever."
Fang Heng sighed in his heart and continued to control the zombie clones to dig.
Just as he was about to hack for a while more, Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Eh?
What was going on?
Why did so many messages about the Lickers dying suddenly pop up in just a few minutes?
The speed of death was several times faster than before.
It was obviously abnormal!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He immediately opened the game log and quickly checked it one by one.
Soon, Fang Heng found something unusual.
[Hint: The player's zombie clone (Licker form) has been affected by an unknown injection.]
[Warning: The zombie clone's 'undying body' effect is reduced by 90%. Remaining recovery time: 30 minutes.]
Eh?
What was going on?
The Licker's undying body had lost its effect?
Was it because of some special potion?
Fang Heng's heart sank.
The 'undying body' skill was his greatest trump card.
It was because of this skill that zombie clones could unleash such terrifying power.
But now, it had become ineffective?
Was it the OmniTech Company, or the Federation?
They actually could develop targeted technology in such a short time?
This was too strange.
He had also visited the advanced game world, and he did not handle things like that in Watts!
Fang Heng frowned.
He vaguely realized that the matter of the potion might not be as simple as it seemed.
All in all, the effect of the 'undying body' had been largely disrupted by OmniTech Company's potion, and the zombie clone group blocking the external entrance was starting to die at an accelerated rate....
He had to think of a way to escape first!
Fang Heng shifted his gaze away from the game notification and walked to the rock wall in front of him. He raised his fist and punched forward!
"Boom!!"
There was a loud bang and the entire wall shook violently for a few seconds under the punch!
"Ka ka, ka..."
The top of the wall was instantly covered with layers of cracks!
The fusion Tyrant forms following behind Fang Heng also took large strides forward, raising their fists and smashing them against the wall!
This was bad!
Fang Heng estimated the speed of the excavation before him and the rate at which the Licker group was dying.
At this rate, time was running short.
It seemed unlikely that he would be able to safely escort the sacred tree branches back intact at this rate.
It appeared that he would have to go back and engage with them again!
It was a good time to take a look at the special potion the enemy had obtained.
Fang Heng made up his mind. He left the zombie clones to continue digging the tunnel while he turned around and returned to the tunnel behind him.
...
OmniTech Company's North District research institute.
The mechanically modified warriors had already been equipped with the targeted potions provided by OmniTech Company.
After successfully using the injection gun on the Lickers, their life recovery ability and limb regeneration capability were significantly reduced!
But even so, the Lickers' basic HP could still be described as terrifying.
Boris stood at the back of the team, coldly watching as the mechanically modified warriors gradually took control of the situation. They cleared out the Lickers they encountered along the way and gradually entered the research institute.
It seemed that OmniTech Company had done a good job.
They had developed the corresponding medicine so quickly.
Eh?
Boris raised his eyebrows.
He looked up and saw a figure at the passage's entrance.
"It's him!" A soldier who had participated in the mind modification recognized Fang Heng and immediately shouted, "He's the one who just invaded the research institute!"
Suddenly, almost everyone turned to look at Fang Heng at the other end of the passage.
"Intruder." Boris stared at Fang Heng and asked, "Who sent you?!"
Fang Heng stood at the entrance of the passage and stared coldly at everyone.
"Humph!"
Boris snorted, waved his hand, and shouted, "Go! Take him down!"
A group of mechanically modified soldiers immediately aimed their beam weapons at Fang Heng and lined up to approach him.
What?
Fang Heng slowly raised his hand.
A book emitting a dark golden light floated in front of him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh...!!"
In an instant, a dense dark golden light overflowed from the book and stabbed fiercely at the semi-mechanized soldiers!
"Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the golden light struck the soldiers, setting off intense explosions!
Book of Oaths.
The explosion caused by the Tier 2 holy remnant chapter caused the semi-mechanized soldiers in front of him to fall.
On the other side, the Lickers took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Boris stared at Fang Heng, his temples bulging.
"Stop him!"
Boris shouted, his hands forming a mark in front of him.
Spiritual piercing!
Fang Heng instantly felt as if his sea of consciousness had been invaded by needles.
[Hint: The player has received an unknown mission's spiritual piercing attack. As the player's spiritual power has passed the test, the player has received additional damage reduction. The player has received 3,000 points of spiritual piercing damage.]
The stinging pain disappeared in an instant.
The undying effect instantly restored the lost HP to full.
It had no effect at all!
