Chapter 250 Blood Absorption After a brief discussion with Mo Jiawei, Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to continue repairing the emergency exits of the quarantine zone. In the past two days, the zombie horde in the quarantine zone had occupied the entire secret research room. Fang Heng had to send the Tyrant and the Lickers to clean up the zombie horde in the secret research room. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 Fortunately, the emergency exits had been repaired by 72%. The remaining alloy resources were enough. It was estimated that the repair of the emergency exits would take about two days. Fang Heng then controlled the remaining zombie team to excavate iron ore, coal and stones in batches. The Lickers spread out in the forest area to hunt and clean up the newly spawned zombies. Everything was in order. After the zombie hack was completed, Fang Heng drove a big truck full of wooden planks to the apocalypse merchant camp at noon. As usual, the NPCs in the camp were familiar with the routine. They instinctively gathered toward the truck and habitually moved the wooden planks from the truck. Fang Heng jumped off the truck. It had been a long time since he last came here. Who would have thought that even the apocalypse camp had levelled up! Compared to the last time, the area of the camp had expanded quite a bit. There were even four new large-scale warehouses in the corner! ev (ne It seemed that Vettel had long been prepared. Fang Heng thought to himself that he could sell him some more resources. “Fang Heng! Hehe, the Blood Moon two days ago was really exciting. How is your shelter?” Vettel heard the noise and came out of the house with two bottles of wine, throwing one to Fang Heng. Fang Heng was also prepared. He took out two packs of drunkard peanuts from his backpack and threw one pack to Vettel. At the same time, Fang Heng’s game log began to refresh. (Hint: You have submitted 300 wooden planks to a merchant. You have received 600 survival points.) (Hint: You have completed the mission.] (Hint: You have submitted 300 wooden planks to the merchant. You have received 600 survival points.] (Hint: You have completed the mission.] [[Hint: You have gifted the apocalypse merchant the drunkard peanuts*1.) (Hint: You have reached the maximum friendship with the apocalypse merchant, Vettel.] “Not bad. Dealing with the zombies is just a small matter. Recently, my shelter is preparing to expand. I need a large number of furnaces, at least 100. I thought about it, and I guess only you can help me get the goods, right?” “Well, it’s a bit difficult. My friends are willing to help you, but…” Vettel laughed and said, “But you have to pay more!” “No problem, you have to give me enough goods. A hundred is just the foundation, the more the better.” “I will immediately order a batch of furnaces for you. It is expected that the goods will arrive in batches one after another in the next two days. I guarantee that you will be satisfied.” As Vettel spoke, he walked up and patted Fang Heng’s shoulder enthusiastically. “Oh right, the goods you ordered last time have arrived. Do you want to go and take a look?” “They have arrived?” Fang Heng’s eyes lit up. He almost forgot that the goods he ordered from Vettel last time had arrived! “No need to look. I trust you. Just help me load them into the truck.” Vettel waved at the few NPC employees in the shelter. Soon, the NPC porters took out cages from the warehouse in the camp and loaded them onto the truck. The cages were mostly filled with rabbits, wild boars and other animals. Later, an NPC pulled out a cow from the warehouse at the back and put it on the truck. “These are the animals you wanted. It took me a lot of effort to get them.” Vettel was very confused. “Are you planning to develop animal husbandry in the shelter? I’m not optimistic about this project.” “No, I have other uses for these animals.” In the apocalypse game, it was a little troublesome to capture live animals. Players would eat most of the animals after hunting them, and almost never raise them. Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the truck and made some calculations in his heart. He had now occupied 28 areas, including the forest area, in name. He could control 140 zombie clones. Including the proliferators, he had a total of 560. Excluding the fact that the zombie clone that had completed the evolution of the Licker could not carry out harvesting operations, there were still more than 500 ‘tool-man’ units. Now that all of them were equipped with iron harvesting tools, the harvesting efficiency had also greatly increased. According to this efficiency, resources would be moved to the shelter by truck in the future. Transportation became the biggest problem. The zombies were too slow, so it was unrealistic to rely on them to move materials. There was only one truck in the shelter. Other than trucks, armoured vehicles could replace transportation, but these big things were too conspicuous. They burned more oil than ordinary trucks, and they were also slower. They even needed professional elite Dark Knights to drive them. They were not suitable as conventional transportation tools. In the shelter, Victor, who was an S-class expert, could find a way to assemble a truck from the garbage. But now he was busy repairing and installing beam weapons and surveillance equipment in the shelter. He could not spare time. The problem of transportation had to be solved. Otherwise, it would greatly slow down the development of the shelter. Fang Heng raised his head and asked, “Vettel, I need a lot of transportation tools right now. Do you have any way to get them?” “Sigh, this is very difficult, Fang Heng. In this kind of apocalypse, our camp only has one truck. We don’t sell them to the public. I believe the other apocalypse camps are the same.” Fang Heng realized that this was a pressing issue. Did he have to buy it using the King of Gods’ points? “But I will keep an eye on it for you. Fang Heng, if there is any news, I will inform you immediately.” “Thank you.” Fang Heng did not have much hope Originally, high-level transportation tools like trucks were only available to players in the middle and later stages of the game. Since there was no way to get them in the game, he could only think of getting them from the Federation. Chen Yu! Chen Yu owed him a huge favor for his participation in the Blood Moon Project the last time. Fang Heng curled his lips and thought about plucking a wave of wool from the Federation. Soon, the NPCs loaded all the goods they had collected onto the truck. Fang Heng greeted Vettel and drove the truck back the way they came. Not long after leaving the apocalypse camp, Fang Heng stopped the truck halfway. “Chi! Chi-chi!!” A few Lickers suddenly jumped out from the bushes on both sides. They quickly pounced on the back of the military truck. Their sharp claws directly cut through the metal cage containing the animals. The situation was chaotic. The Lickers used their sharp claws to cut open the throat of their prey and began to eat the corpse. Soon, Fang Heng smelled the bloody smell coming from the back of the truck. He opened the game log to check. (Hint: Your zombie clone killed a bull*1.) (Hint: Your zombie clone killed a hare*1.) (Hint: Your zombie clone absorbed the strength contained in the blood. Your skill-low-level vampire’s skill experience points +2.] (Hint: Your zombie clone absorbed the strength contained in the blood…] (Hint: Your skill-low-level vampires’ bloodline level has been upgraded to Level 3.] (Hint: You need to absorb blood with a higher strength to upgrade your skill level.] Fang Heng closed the game log. It seemed that relying on the blood of animals to upgrade the bloodline of low-level vampires to Level 3 was already the limit. If he wanted to go to the next level, perhaps he could try human beings. Perhaps they could absorb the blood of a player? This method of levelling up made Fang Heng feel a little nauseous. “I’ll try again in the future when I have the chance.” Fang Heng muttered to himself as he drove the truck back to the shelter.
