Chapter 808: Mutated Ores
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Many large companies, including Weixing Technology, had tried this sinkhole mission before. In the end, they all realized that the rewards were not proportional to the effort, so they all chose to give up.
For large player companies, if they increased their investment, it was not necessarily impossible. It was just that it was not worth it. There was no need to bear a large loss to complete this mission.
Fang Heng knew nothing about this.
His biggest goal was not to mine, but to farm monsters.
Leaving the shelter, the party arrived at the periphery of the shelter.
Fang Heng raised his hand to signal the mercenary team to stop.
Li Wenbo looked at Fang Heng strangely. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. The mission location is here.”
Fang Heng looked at the mercenary team captain brought by Li Wenbo, “Today’s mission is very simple. We need everyone to stay here and guard. Our people from Ark Technology will transport the materials here. Then, we need you to transport the materials back to the safe areas.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s words, Mo Jiawei suddenly understood.
He understood!
The high-end combat strength that they had requested from the Raptor Company was not for fighting.
It was simply to be used as coolies!
Big Brother was playing his game!
However, the number of mutated forms that appeared in the vicinity of the safe areas was almost non-existent.
A total of 50 members of Raptor Company’s elite group was enough to protect the ores. It was impossible for them to be in any danger.
With them, they were not afraid of other players snatching the ores.
Killing two birds with one stone!
“Ah, this…”
Fang Heng’s actions were really unexpected to Li Wenbo.
“Let’s go.”
After giving his instructions, Fang Heng opened the game hint and controlled the group of Lickers to gather.
Li Wenbo looked around suspiciously and confirmed with Fang Heng again, “Are we going to the mutated mining area? Just the three of us?”
“Yes.”
“Alright.”
Li Wenbo thought that Fang Heng was only going to investigate this time. He nodded and led the two of them to the mutated mining area.
…
Having fewer people was a great advantage for sneaking in.
The night was very good, and the visibility was also good too.
Soon, the two of them entered the mutated mining area under Li Wenbo’s lead.
Behind a protruding rock, Li Wenbo poked his head out.
He pointed at a relatively empty area not far away.
“Look over there. That’s the mutated mining area that I told you about.”
There was a deep pit in the middle of the open space.
Along the way, Li Wenbo and Fang Heng introduced the situation of the mine.
The mutated mining area was discovered after the end of the Wasteland World.
Since it was discovered, the excavators began to dig into the ground, creating a huge pit with uneven pits.
“The pit has already been dug a few times. There should be a lot of mutated ores inside.”
Li Wenbo explained in a low voice as he pointed at a few brown rocks scattered in the area of the pit.
“Oh right, look at those rocks. Is there something on them?”
Upon closer inspection, there was a small creature crouching on top of the rocks.
It was about the size of a palm and looked a little like a lizard. It was grayish-brown like the rocks, so it was not easy to be discovered at first glance.
They lay on the rock motionlessly.
“They are also mutated creatures. They are very timid and will spit out acidic liquid when they encounter danger. Once the acidic liquid touches the protective suit, it will create a hole. You must be careful when digging.”
“Also, those plants have gone through radiation and have mutated. The edges of their branches and leaves are extremely sharp, and they have territorial awareness. They are very aggressive and pose a threat to the protective suit. A lot of people died at their hands unknowingly.”
“The most troublesome thing is the crystallized mutated form. The scales on their bodies are related to the mutated gamma metal ore. They need to use powerful firepower to penetrate their outer armor. It’s best not to engage in close combat with them.”
Li Wenbo’s expression was serious as he instructed in a low voice, “Right, once the protective suit is penetrated, you must return to the safe areas as soon as possible to undergo a full body scan and treatment.”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng hummed softly as he sized up the crystallized mutated form.
It was very strange. Did it look a little like a crab?
They were short in size, and most of their bodies were covered by red shells.
One could vaguely make out their four limbs.
Li Wenbo had said too many important points.
It was fine at the beginning, but Fang Heng was too lazy to remember later on.
Anyway, he hadn’t heard of any mutated forms that had spell damage until now.
In theory, the Lickers were invincible.
On the side, Mo Jiawei had the same thought.
He felt that Li Wenbo’s voice was like hypnosis. He felt like he was back in high school when he was listening to classes, and he was drowsy.
“Also, it’s best that we don’t use explosive weapons. Many mutated forms are instinctively curious about the sound of explosions and flashes, especially at night. They might be attracted over, and then we would be easily surrounded.”
“Alright, that’s about it. There are still a few special creatures that I haven’t seen yet. I’ll analyze them in detail when I see them…”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng nodded and patted Li Wenbo’s shoulder. “It’s very detailed. Next time, you can be more concise and pick the key points.”
“Huh?”
Li Wenbo blinked and explained innocently, “Brother, what I said are the key points…”
As he spoke, Li Wenbo stopped. He saw Fang Heng take out a few bombs from his backpack.
Hey! Didn’t he just say that it was best not to use bombs?
Before Li Wenbo could stop him, three bombs were thrown into the mine from Fang Heng’s hands.
“Pa…”
“Boom!! Boom Boom!!!!”
The bombs exploded!
The loud sound woke up the mutated creatures inside the mining area almost instantly!
They looked around vigilantly, searching for potential danger.
Li Wenbo quickly hid behind the rock.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
There were faint sounds coming from all around.
Sure enough, the mutated creatures lurking nearby were awakened.
The faint sounds around them became louder and louder.
The dense Chi-Chi sounds seemed to surround them all!
What was going on?
Li Wenbo frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Something was wrong!
Most of the mutated forms were attracted by the sound, but they wouldn’t react so quickly. So many mutated forms were attracted by the sound of the explosion, right?
Eh?
What was that?!
Li Wenbo’s pupils constricted.
Lickers covered in pus and blood crawled out from the surrounding bushes.
An unknown reptilian mutated form?!
Li Wenbo had rarely seen such a terrifying and hideous mutated form.
A creature that relied on its four limbs to crawl and had sharp teeth and fangs.
Its skin was extremely festering, and the exposed skull looked very much like a human.
Li Wenbo was extremely nervous. When he saw the terrifying-looking mutated creature appear in his line of sight, he almost subconsciously raised his guns.
“Puff! Puff Puff!”
The weapon was equipped with a silencer and the bullets were aimed at the Licker.
