Chapter 469: Investigation
“How is it? Do you still have any questions? ” Fang Heng held the bunch of keys in his hand and fiddled with it. “That’s about all we know about Far Mountain Nursing Home. Do you have any additional information? ”
Yi Qi and the others looked at each other, and finally, Yi Qi said, “Thank you for your information. In fact, we don’t know much about the background of Far Mountain Nursing Home. However, we’ve entered the nursing home three times before, trying to investigate the situation inside. ”
Fang Heng’s interest was piqued. He sat up straight and asked, “What are the details? ”
“In the beginning, we only did a simple search of the nursing home. After cleaning up a few mutated zombies in the nursing home, Vera sensed that there was something dangerous under the nursing home. Following this clue, we found an entrance in the basement. ”
Yi Qi continued, “We can already confirm that there is a huge building complex below the nursing home. Unfortunately, we were attacked just as we started to explore and thereafter escaped from the nursing home. ”
Fang Heng asked, “Who attacked you? ”
“I’m not sure. ” Thinking back to the situation at that time, Vera still had no clue. “We can’t figure out what attacked us. It moved so fast that we couldn’t see it with our naked eyes. ”
Zhong Lei frowned. “Was it a mutated zombie? ”
“I’m not sure. ” Vera shook her head.
“The probability is not high. ” Yi Qi thought for a while and added, “I was attacked by it, but my infection index didn’t rise. According to my judgment, it might not be a mutated zombie. ”
“Was it very strong? ”
“Yes! It was very strong. ” Vera’s expression was a little serious. “It’s different from the mutated zombie we’ve encountered before. ”
“Don’t worry. ” Yi Qi patted Vera’s shoulder to comfort her, “Last time, it happened suddenly, and it was very dark in the underground passage, so we didn’t see the enemy clearly. This time, we found a way to get two flashbangs. With sufficient preparation, we can at least figure out its true face. ”
Fang Heng rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.
It sounded a little troublesome.
Should he bring the fusion Tyrant forms over?
The damned place was too far. If he made the fusion Tyrant forms self-destruct, it would take more than six hours. Moreover, he would not be able to obtain a proliferator in a short period of time.
Based on the theoretical analysis and the unreliable information obtained from the player forums, the ceiling of Zombie Apocalypse’s combat strength was a Tier 5 mutated zombie. Under the Blood Moon state, the strongest mutated zombie’s combat strength was only comparable to a Tier 6 zombie.
Based on the capped combat strength, with his current ability, Fang Heng would most likely not be able to defeat a Tier 5 mutated zombie in a one-on-one fight.
However, it would not be a problem for him to save his life.
Even if he encountered an extreme situation at a small probability, District 8 still had a rebirth chamber that could be used.
Fang Heng believed that he could go inside and test the waters.
Vera continued, “Before we carry out this operation, I still need to confirm the target of the operation. Previously, when we were conducting a preliminary search of the secret area under the basement, we accidentally found a set of research materials related to the virus in a room. ”
“Research materials? ” Fang Heng’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Do you still have them? ”
“I gave the materials to a friend. He works for a big gaming company. According to him, the research materials are very useful. If we can find more relevant information from the basement, they are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. ”
Fang Heng thought it was a pity. “Do you still remember the content of the materials? ”
Vera responded, “I didn’t really understand the contents. They should be related to a zombie virus experiment conducted by Meteorite Company. They contain all the experimental data. Players’ shelters can use them to increase the research level and the attractiveness of the shelter. ”
“Okay... ” Fang Heng nodded, feeling suspicious.
So Plan Scorpio was also a zombie virus project?
Vera uttered, “My friend promised me to buy all the information at a higher price than the market price. After we find a way to get the information, all the rewards gained from selling it will be shared equally among us. Do you have any objection to that? ”
Fang Heng immediately said, “The information is useful to me. I’m willing to buy it at double the price he promised you. ”
Hearing that, Vera and the other two were stunned. “Did we meet a rich man? ”
Vera confirmed with Fang Heng, “Double? Are you sure? One set of information will cost 3,000 survival points. ”
“3,000, deal, ” Fang Heng answered straightforwardly.
Previously, he had made a large sum of survival points by spreading the vaccine antibodies to create the zombie wave. Currently, he was extremely rich.
“Okay! ” Yi Qi immediately agreed. “Then, for the sake of better cooperation, why don’t we introduce our abilities to each other? ”
He looked at everyone, starting, “Let’s start with me. My special ability is piloting. I’m good at mechanical maintenance and armed combat. Vera has a special perception ability. Her perception attribute and will attribute have both broken through 10. She can sense the approach of some high-level life forms and give a warning in advance. Yuan Bin is good at close combat and long-range damage, and he has high-level weapon mastery. ”
When it was Zhong Lei’s turn, he said, “I’m also a damage-oriented person, and I’m good at using medium and heavy weapons. ”
Everyone shifted their gazes to Fang Heng.
“As for me... ” Fang Heng thought for a moment and said, “My abilities are quite complex, and I dabble a lot. I know a little of everything. ”
The few of them were stunned when they heard that.
Yuan Bin slapped his forehead and said, “Hey, brother, don’t tell me you’re an all-rounded player? ”
“That’s right. That’s what everyone calls me. All-rounded support. ”
Everyone looked at each other and understood.
So he was a rich support.
Ahem.
“All right. Do you have any materials that you need to replenish? If there’s no problem, we’ll start immediately. How about it? ”
“No problem. ”
...
After packing their luggage, the group started heading toward the nursing home on the hillside.
Fang Heng also realized that few people were on the mountain path leading to the nursing home.
Not even zombies could be seen, let alone animals.
Soon, along the path, an old building appeared in front of them.
“We’re here at Far Mountain Nursing Home. ”
Outside the nursing home, the main door was closed.
Fang Heng had just taken a few steps forward when he was stopped by Yi Qi who was behind him. “Don’t go through the main door. ”
Yi Qi explained, “There’s something inside. If we enter through the main door, we might disturb it. ”
Fang Heng frowned. “Then what should we do? ”
“Go through the back door. Follow me. ” Yuan Bin walked to the front of the group. He led the group around the nursing home and entered through the broken fence in the back garden.
“It’s best not to make any noise from here on. Try to speak as softly as possible. They might follow our voices and track us here, ” Yuan Bin explained in a low voice. “This place has very evil energy. ”
Using voice to track the enemy’s location?
It was a bit like a Licker.
As Fang Heng thought to himself, he followed Yuan Bin into the back garden of the nursing home.
The garden had not been cleaned for a long time, and it looked unmaintained.
