Chapter 1818 Attack
It was not just these few figures.
As they stayed in the same spot for a few minutes, more and more zombies showed up from afar and approached them.
"They look like zombies. You guys cover me, I'll test them out."
As the team captain spoke, he switched his long-range AK and fired at the zombie horde in front of him.
"Bang! Bang Bang!!!"
The bullets poured out and landed on the zombies in front of them, exploding into dark red blood mist.
However, the creatures were terrifying!
Bullets bombarded them, but other than pushing them back a few steps, it did not have any significant effect at all!
The bullets were ineffective against them?
The team captain emptied his magazine of bullets and saw that none of the zombies had fallen. They were still dragging their swaying bodies towards the party.
This was troublesome.
Judging from their HP, they looked like elite-level creatures. However, their movement speed was as slow as the zombies in low-level games.
Fortunately, the zombies didn't mutate after the attack.
"It might be a special life form. Let's think of a way to get one back!"
The player team captain shouted again, and then he condensed a mark with both hands in front of him.
"Charge!"
A bright red crystal spear appeared out of thin air beside the team captain.
"Whoosh!"
Under the control of his mental power, the crystal spear stabbed fiercely at the zombie at the front!
"Puff!"
A soft sound rang out.
"Bang!!"
The crystal spear pierced through the mutant infected zombie's body and knocked it to the ground!
The other six players in the team formed their mark in front of them at the same time. Six crystal spears condensed in the air and quickly pierced the fallen mutant infected zombie!
The mutated infected zombie was pierced through by the crystal spears and was firmly stuck on the ground, unable to move.
The players were surprised.
It didn't die...
The mutated infected zombie was nailed to the ground and was still struggling crazily.
It was so difficult to deal with?
The team captain frowned when he saw this. The hand seal condensed in front of him quickly changed and he shouted, "Explode!"
"Boom!!!"
The seven crystal spears that pierced into the mutant infected zombie exploded at the same time!
The sudden burst of high damage caused the mutated zombie's corpse to explode!
The violent explosion swept up the sand and dust in the surroundings.
The party of players immediately retreated and checked the game log.
"Something's wrong! The game log doesn't have a kill description. This special creature might be related to the mission!"
The players immediately realized that something was wrong. There were no survival points awarded after killing the zombie.
This meant that the zombie creature was very likely related to the special mission!
Just now, they had used a killing move against an elite-level creature to barely kill a zombie. The players had not had the time to carefully check the remnants of the zombie after killing it.
Looking forward again, the sand and dust in front of them gradually dispersed.
As if attracted by the explosion, a large number of beings appeared in the distance.
Everyone was shocked.
So many?!
They had spent so much effort to deal with one zombie, so how were they going to deal with so many more?
"Not good! Their numbers are increasing! Retreat first!"
"Let's go!"
The captain called for the team to retreat immediately, and at the same time, he cursed in his heart.
What the hell?!
He had thought that it was just a simple reconnaissance mission, but he did not expect to encounter such a difficult creature.
Not only did they waste so much ammunition, but they also wasted so much effort to get nothing!
"Return to the camp first and report the situation to the Federation!"
Soon, the Federation's command camp in the Western District received reports of the presence of mutated zombies.
Tabio, who was in charge of the mausoleum world mission, received the report and immediately called for a meeting.
The night before yesterday, something strange happened to the sarcophagus in the mausoleum. It had not been completely dealt with until now. The follow-up thorough incident report had not been completed yet, and there was another problem here.
Was it also related to the mausoleum world mission?
Tabio was suspicious.
Professor Pan put down the report and said, "Sir, ordinary zombies can't have such a strong defense. I'm afraid that these are the products of contamination after being infected by the mutant worm virus in the spawns."
Everyone in the meeting room nodded in agreement.
The players who accepted the mission were not weak, so they were capable of defeating ordinary zombies.
There must be a problem here.
Tabio asked, "Why is this happening?"
"I'm afraid it's a virus contamination from the spawns."
Professor Pan paused for a moment, then continued with a serious expression, "I guess that this was done by the Black Castle. They deliberately leaked the infected virus to the outside world. Their goal is to bring us trouble and buy themselves time."
"No, you're wrong. The Black Castle has already decided to leave. Besides us, there's no one else in the mausoleum world who wants to compete with us for the main mission."
"Then... That could also be a conspiracy they set up in advance. Perhaps it is a special task that we have not triggered yet."
Professor Pan continued to argue, "Michaux Company needs to invest more research funds to provide more accurate reports. I think since there is no point reward for killing these beings in the game, it means that they are likely to be task creatures. We can find a solution."
Tabio thought for a moment before saying, "Let's put the unknown zombie creature aside for now. What is the status of the repair of the signal transmitter?"
"The damage is serious. We suspect that when the corpses of the mausoleum rebelled, they were invaded by unknown people. The resurrection of the corpses must be related to the invaders."
Tabio was expressionless.
"Can it be repaired?"
"It's very difficult. We've applied to dismantle the machine and send it back to the advanced game world for maintenance and assembly..."
...
Offline, in the Federation's training base.
The zombie clones had been hacking and plundering the mausoleum world for a few days. Coupled with the powerful effect of the new talent, mutant infection, the number of zombie clones rapidly increased, and the plundering effect was shocking!
The amount of resources transported into the prison shelter through the obelisk teleportation passage was measured in tons every day.
The prison was quickly filled up with resources.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Mo Jiawei quickly called the people from Starfish Company over to unload the goods.
He would first sell all the resources that were not very rare, then store all the precious materials in another warehouse.
As a first-class material supplier that had worked with Fang Heng for a long time, Starfish Company was even more happy.
The entire company was in full operation, and business was booming.
Meanwhile, offline, Fang Heng closed his eyes and focused. He was in the Star Wheel of the cultivation field, trying to control his spiritual power to flow through his body through the sea of consciousness.
Ever since he successfully controlled his spiritual power to flow through his body for the first time two days ago, the most difficult part of the first step was finally completed.
The next step was to familiarize himself with it. He repeated it over and over again until he condensed the spiritual energy in his body and formed the meridian passage.
Now, Fang Heng had a 50% success rate of letting his spiritual power flow through his body.
